00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.000
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm hunting Mack with five

2
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.880
good news stories and good news for a nine hundred

3
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:15.919
pound dolphin. You see these guys in New Zealand. They're

4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.280
out there fishing. They're right in their own business, and

5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.399
suddenly a dolphin appears to fall out of the sky

6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.120
and landed in their small boat. An eleven foot bottle

7
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.640
nosed dolphin had jumped on top of the boat. The

8
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.399
fisherman suddenly noticed a shadow and then it heard a

9
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.799
loud boom. One of them said, the dolphin decided to

10
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.159
jump on board and say hello, one minute, everything's fine,

11
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.320
And just like lightning striking, there's a big dolphin in

12
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.719
our boat, trashing around and breaking everything. The dolphin snapped

13
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.159
every single fishing rod we had in the boat. They

14
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:46.960
of course, wanted to help the dolphin. They said, we

15
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.759
looked at the dolphins still live and breathing. We thought

16
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.240
we got to start looking after him, figure out what

17
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.840
to do because he's stuck in the boat for now. Now,

18
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.600
this dolphin is nine hundred pounds, so it's not like, hey,

19
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.840
let's just lift up the dolphin. The fishermen alerted New

20
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.479
Zealand's conservation agency. They were directed to a boat ramp

21
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.200
an hour away. Workers were there to help the dolphin.

22
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.359
The fisherman used a hose to keep the dolphin wet

23
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.680
and protected him from the sun using a damp towel.

24
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.680
And this was five good news stories. So I'm happy

25
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.599
to tell you the dolphin got to swim away and

26
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.000
the fishermen have a story to tell. In Colorado, a

27
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.040
woman donated a kidney to the man she went to

28
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.079
the prom with thirty five years earlier. Now, way back,

29
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.680
when Sean was sixteen years old, he was the president

30
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.680
of the student council. He was voted most likely to succeed.

31
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.120
He invited someone to the prom and she said no,

32
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.200
So he went to a backup. Elena. The backup finds

33
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.200
this all funny and said he needed a backup. Sean

34
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.159
remembers her as smart, pretty, and a remarkably nice person.

35
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:45.799
Elena said, I was happy to go to a prom.

36
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.959
What girl wouldn't go. Thirty five years later, their lives

37
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.959
intertwined again. You see, her friend Julie is married to

38
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.959
one of his friends. Word got around. Remember that guy

39
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.480
he went to the one thirty five years ago. He's

40
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.239
on dialysis he needs a new kidney. Even though they

41
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.480
were a match on prom night, they weren't a match

42
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.879
for organs. So they both started the paired exchange process

43
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.519
where Hurricandney would go to someone in need and he

44
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.719
would receive another achidney from somebody who was compatible. Smart

45
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.280
process there and again this is five good news stories.

46
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.360
Everything turned out okay. Eagle watchers were excited. There was

47
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.680
a birdcam. Everybody was watching the birdcam, and two new

48
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.159
eagles were born at the Big Bear Lake Forest in California.

49
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.120
The nest is atop a one hundred and forty five

50
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.479
foot tree. That's a big tree. Two bald eagles known

51
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.719
as Jackie in Shadow had two eglets. Friends of the

52
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.080
Big Bear Lake Forest say more than seventy thousand people

53
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.639
were watching when the second hatchling arrived. Scientists are getting

54
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.520
it done. A group of doctors just became the first

55
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.879
in the world's cure blindness in four children with a

56
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.000
rare genetic condition. Doctors in London injected healthy copies of

57
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.120
the impacted gene into the eyes of four children between

58
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:58.319
the ages of one and two during a one hour surgery.

59
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.680
Those children can now see shapes, find toys, and recognize

60
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.199
their parents' faces and even read and write. That is amazing.

61
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:11.319
And one more science story. Scientists also say they saw

62
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.759
a mouse moving and unconscious mouse's tongue kind of like

63
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.840
CPR Lijang is at the University of Southern California and

64
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.800
introduced cage mice to a fellow mouse who was under

65
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.960
anesthesia and watched as the mouse spent nearly six seven

66
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.400
minutes trying to help the sedated mouse. All right, So

67
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.080
then they tried it again. They inserted non toxic plastic

68
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.560
balls into sedated mice and then in eighty percent of

69
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:41.159
the encounters, another mouse would remove the ball. Apparently, mice

70
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.719
are pretty cool. Those are five good news stories for today.

71
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:45.560
You have a good one.
