Ninja the 90 year old soccer sensation
A newborn fox at the Richmond Wildlife Center is raised with minimal human contact, using a unique method where caretakers wear fox costumes. Adidas plans to donate over $150 million from Yeezy sales to anti-racism organizations after ending their partnership with Kanye West. A high school student, Selena Zhang, invents a solar and AI-powered trap to combat the invasive lanternfly in the Northeast. Providence College students raise funds for their beloved overnight security guard, James, to visit his family in Nigeria for the first time in over a decade. Lastly, 90-year-old Mike Fisher, nicknamed Ninja, makes headlines for his outstanding performance in walking football, scoring multiple goals against much younger opponents.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.480
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
shutting back with five good news stories.
2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.640
Good news for a newborn fox.
The fox was dropped off at the Richmond
3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:21.239
Wildlife Center in Virginia, and the
scientists there have someone dressed up as a
4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:26.440
fox. This is to prevent the
actual fox from over associating with humans.
5
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:31.399
A Facebook video shows a staff member
bottle feeding of the fox while wearing gloves
6
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.280
and a red, furry pointed mask
to cover their human face. One of
7
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.719
these scientists say it's important to make
sure that the orphans that are raised in
8
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.799
captivity do not become imprinted upon or
habituated to humans. The red furry pointed
9
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.359
mask is to make sure that the
actual fox doesn't see a human face while
10
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.119
feeding. This is critically importive we're
going to get her into the wild.
11
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:54.560
They've also given the actual fox a
snugly toy fox to mimic the sensation of
12
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:59.399
her mother. Ki Williams, the
director of the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council,
13
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.920
said she hadn't heard of humans dressing
up as foxes to care for them before.
14
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.079
She said the technique was more common
in caring for birds, something you'd
15
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.879
see much more as somebody dressing up
in a whole crane suit something like that.
16
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.799
Sometimes they'll just dress up in a
covering that hides their shape a little
17
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.239
bit so they don't quite look like
a human, they look like a weird
18
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.040
mass, or they'll use a hand
puppet. The purpose is to not inhibit
19
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.040
a wild animal's healthy fear of humans
and essential survival trait by causing the animals
20
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.680
to associate humans with food or nurturing. They hope to place this fox with
21
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:32.200
other rescued foxes of a similar age
and other wildlife centers, and to eventually
22
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.400
release her into the wild if given
the all clear by health authorities. Completely
23
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:41.920
switching topics. After ending its longtime
relationship with Kanye West, Adidas was left
24
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.599
with one point three billion dollars worth
of yeasy shoes those were in warehouses.
25
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.560
Decided to sell some of the remaining
shoes and they're going to donate more than
26
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.040
one hundred and fifty million dollars from
the sales of the shoes to organizations fighting
27
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.879
anti Semitism and other forms of hate. So far, it's made donations to
28
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.840
the Anti Defamation League and the Filines
and keeps a Floyd Institute for Social Change,
29
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.719
which is run by the brother of
George Floyd. A high schooler has
30
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.680
invented a solar and AI power trap
for those invasive lantern flies. This is
31
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.599
a big deal in the Northeast.
The spotted lantern flies an invasive insect that's
32
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.479
done a lot of damage in New
Jersey and know around here there are signs
33
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.120
that say if you see them,
just kill them, and you feel bad
34
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.400
because they're really pretty. Lantern flies
know what they're doing. The lantern fly
35
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.439
has been found in seventeen other states, where it feeds on plant sap,
36
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.719
causing the plants to become stressed and
making them more susceptible to disease. Selena
37
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.039
Jang first noted the mothlike bugs at
a local market and wanted help get rid
38
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:42.199
of them without using things like insecticides
or sticky vands. Selena has created the
39
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.960
r Treeficial, a solar powered,
self cleaning, artificial intelligence driven tree that
40
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:53.120
lowers the lantern fly. It then
eliminates the bug using an electronic mesh.
41
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.000
The umbrella structure mimics the tree of
Heaven, which is a known host plan
42
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.759
of the lantern fly. It emits
an incense made from the tree's essence to
43
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.719
lure the lantern fly, and a
double electric net uses AI to recognize when
44
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.240
a lantern fly is landed on the
trap. And then good news out of
45
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:13.840
Providence College. Students living in Raymond
Hall had noticed that James, the overnight
46
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.759
security guard, hadn't visited his family
in Nigeria in more than ten years,
47
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.400
so they made a plan. They
set up an online fundraiser to collect money
48
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.800
for him. Within seven days,
the college students presented James with a gift
49
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.360
of three thousand dollars for the trip. A video captured james reaction as he
50
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.800
fell to the ground in surprise.
Admit a course of we love you.
51
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.319
James Daniel's an ra and Raymond Hall, and he said, we take care
52
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.280
of our home. That's what we
do at Providence College. As long as
53
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:38.319
I've been here. They've done that
for me. We've done that for each
54
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.520
other, so now we're doing it
for you. James Brandon helped organize the
55
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.479
fundraiser. He said, James is
the kind soul anyone's ever met in this
56
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.000
building. He means so much to
us. It was amazing how fast everyone
57
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:52.159
connected we were to put it together
for him. And good News by Ninja
58
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.719
the soccer player. He is averaging
a hat trick every game. But here's
59
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.840
the deal. Ninja is ninety years
old. He hasn't played since nineteen forty
60
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.719
nine, but he's back. Baby. Mike Fisher, nicknamed Ninja by teammates,
61
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:10.000
is now playing every Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday for two local walking football
62
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.439
teams after he started playing for them
at aged eighty two. Mike started playing
63
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.839
soccer at fourteen, carried on until
he was in his forties. Then he
64
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.720
got back into it in his eighties. Apparently, he celebrated his ninetieth birthday
65
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.399
by hitting five goals in a game
against opponents forty years younger than him.
66
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.240
He's either really good where they're really
terrible, where someone knew it was his
67
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.079
birthday. Anyway, it's a good
story. Mike says. They call me
68
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.160
Ninja because they say I'm gona the
blink of an eye. If you ask
69
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.600
anyone if they play with Mike Fisher, they want to have a clue.
70
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.959
But if you say, do you
play with Ninja, they'll know who you
71
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.920
mean. I still love football and
I'll keep going for as long as I
72
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.759
can, or at least while I'm
still scoring on a regular basis. The
73
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.759
feeling of scoring goals never gets old, even if I am. And those
74
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.920
are your five good news stories for
today. If you enjoy the program,
75
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.120
tell a friend about it. They
may like it too. If you enjoy
76
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.600
my company, I also host a
podcast called Daily Comedy News, where we
77
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.720
talk about stand up comedy seven days
a week. That show is also clean
78
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.360
and fun. You have an awesome
day.

00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.160
Ninja because they say I'm gona the
blink of an eye. If you ask
69
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.600
anyone if they play with Mike Fisher, they want to have a clue.
70
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.959
But if you say, do you
play with Ninja, they'll know who you
71
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.920
mean. I still love football and
I'll keep going for as long as I
72
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.759
can, or at least while I'm
still scoring on a regular basis. The
73
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.759
feeling of scoring goals never gets old, even if I am. And those
74
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.920
are your five good news stories for
today. If you enjoy the program,
75
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.120
tell a friend about it. They
may like it too. If you enjoy
76
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.600
my company, I also host a
podcast called Daily Comedy News, where we
77
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.720
talk about stand up comedy seven days
a week. That show is also clean
78
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.360
and fun. You have an awesome
day.
