Kegs of Beer close highway

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hi, there, Shanny Mack with five good news stories. I'm laughing because I looked ahead to the first story. Here, there's a candy shop in Tennessee and they've got a problem. There's a repeat offender who keeps breaking in. Yeah, it's a bear. The bear has broken in four times and ransacked the candy store. They reported the bear to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the agency has confirmed an investigation is underway. The owners say they're oping the bear could be safely relocated without harm. You know. For now, the candy shop remains open and the bear is at large in Wales. They're trying to figure out what's going on. You see. Hundreds of old shoes turned up during a beach clean up. Volunteers with the Beach Academy discovered around two hundred Victorian style shoes at loose souls while working on a rock pool restoration project.

0:59 The founders said the shoes were clearly old fashioned, featuring distinctive shapes and hobnails in the soles. After the discovery, local residents told volunteers, oh, yeah, shoes like that have been shown up on the coast for years. There are two theories. One traces the shoes back to the shipwreck of the frolic, a cargo vessel that ran aground in the nineteenth century while traveling from Italy. That kind of make sense, even though it's been more than five minutes. According to that theory, the shoes sometimes show up because of erosion. The second theory suggests the shoes were dumped much later, possibly in the nineteen sixties, when cobblers just were like, eh, we're done with these and threw them out. I like the first theory a little bit better. Meanwhile, as prices for recycled paper, plastic, and aluminum go up, waste management companies are finding that AI sorting systems are helping them get some good returns. Republic Services has installed AI powered robotic sorders in about one third of their recycling facilities. Those ais are trained on thousands of variations of common waste items, allowing them to make thousands of sorting decisions per minute based on quality, condition, and material composition.

2:06 Using robot arms and bursts of air, the machine's direct materials into the correct recycling streams at high speed. The chief technology officer said, there really is value in a lot of recyclables and garbage. The bram has been the cost of pulling those materials out. In Rome, they're really struggling with over tourism. They keep trying to figure out how to keep the crowds down while the Colisseum Archaeological Park is opening up virtual access to the House of Griffins. The House of Gryffins is an elite Roman residence that has long been documented but never open to the public. The House of Griffins takes its name from a pair of white stucco griffins decorating an interior portico. The residents once belonged to a patrician during the Republican era. Located on Palatine Hill. Been there, It's pretty cool up there.

2:50 The structure was demolished and buried to make room for the Palace of Emperor Domitian. However, burying all that preserved the site to a pretty good degree. The floor to ceiling frescoes and decorative elements survived largely intact. So what they decided to do. Rather than open the site physically, park officials are introducing guided virtual tours. A guide equipped with a smartphone mounted on their head will walk through the underground rooms, providing live narration up to twelve visitors a time. We'll be able to watch the tour from nearby vegetable above the site. Inside, colorful mosaics cover the floors, frescoes line the walls. The deepest surviving chamber features green marble floor tiles and even mirrors. If you enjoy this program, one way you can support it is become a subscriber to Plus.

So that's a great way to do it, all, right, John, Why reolate for work this time? Well, you see, Boss, I was there on Highway one fifty one.

4:02 It was like six fifteen in the morning, and this truck hit the guardrail and it turned over and blocked the road and littered the road with kegs of beer. A spokesperson for a brewing company said the truck had been carrying two hundred and sixty four half barrel kegs destined for distributors. The roadway was closed off State Highway twenty six for several hours while crews worked to remove the beer. All the humans are okay. As for the beer, I'm not sure. Those are your five good news stories for today. Have an awesome day.
