00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.000
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Jenny Mack with five

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.880
good news stories. A exchange student from the Czech Republic

3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.120
flew five thousand miles for one reason to surprise her

4
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.120
best friend at her friend's graduation. Katerina spent one year

5
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.679
in the US and made friend with Kata, who said,

6
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:27.719
we're very close and she feels like my older sister.

7
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.320
I was so glad I was able to have her

8
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.719
move in with me for nine months. Secretly coordinated with

9
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.880
Katera's boyfriend to work on the surprise. She showed up

10
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.280
with a sign that said, flew across the world to

11
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.039
see you graduate. How awesome is that? Good news? We

12
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.520
caught your pig. Police in Massachusetts use some crackers to

13
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.880
catch a bet pig that was running loose through town.

14
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.560
The PDS and on social media that the pig, named

15
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:56.159
pooa po Ah had hambushed its and taken itself on

16
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.479
a self guided tour of Orleans. Sergeant Cronin said the

17
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.079
pig shows some serious chops on the run, but they

18
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.319
were indeed able to get the pick to come home

19
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.120
with the help of some crackers. It's one of those

20
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.959
tropes episodes. What do you got, Johnny, I got a

21
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.959
world record. A domino tower measuring over thirty three feet

22
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.760
tall broke the world record. Lily assembled a team of

23
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.120
domino building experts at the National Building Museum in Washington,

24
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.480
d C. They spent five days assembling a domino tower.

25
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.680
It measured thirty three feet two point seventy four inches tall,

26
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.920
breaking the previous record of thirty two feet ten point

27
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.920
eight inches. So what do you do after spending five

28
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.840
days assembling a domino tower which measures thirty three feet

29
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.319
two point seven four inches. Of course, obviously you throw

30
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.200
a stuffed squirrels away at the top and you watch

31
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:47.920
the whole thing collapse. That's fun, I guess. A farmer

32
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.280
in Kansas had an idea. He wanted to give his

33
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.640
wife an anniversary gift, but it was going to take

34
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.879
eight months and sixty five million wheat seeds. Jesse and

35
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.599
Sara was celebrating their twentieth He started playing this thing

36
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.280
like last October. He planted two colors of wheat and waited.

37
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.840
Eventually the wheak grew and it spelled out a message

38
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.599
Jesse plus Sarah twenty years. Jesse told Kake, I knew

39
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:14.240
it would make her smile. That was kind of the

40
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.080
whole goal, to get the little grid out of her

41
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.960
that I like. Case you're curious. The words were in

42
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.879
a red chaff wheat with a lighter variety serving as

43
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.439
the background. The message was about one mile long and

44
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.879
a half mile wide. People have a lot more time

45
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:32.400
than I have. Good news about your teeth. You know,

46
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.080
those pesky wisdom teeth that everybody have taken out. A

47
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.479
new discovery has found that wisdom teeth contain a unique

48
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.039
form of human stell SEMs that can be harvested and

49
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:47.199
used to regrow bone, heart tissue, and even neurons. You see,

50
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.919
wisdom teeth contain a soft center of tissue called dental

51
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.479
pulp that helps to keep those pesky wisdom teeth alive.

52
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.039
The pulp contains immature cells which a team of scientists

53
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.039
at the University of the Basque Country in Spain where

54
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.080
But first of all, if I lived in the Basque Country,

55
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.879
I would not be a scientist. I would just be

56
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.879
hanging out. Have you been there? It's awesome, it is beautiful.

57
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.400
So I applaud these scientists, doubly so because they have

58
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.840
transformed the cells into several different kinds of cells. Almost

59
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.360
all humans are born with wisdom teeth. They're often removed

60
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.280
in the teenage years, when little DNA damage has taken place,

61
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.960
making them really malleable and safe for use by the scientists.

62
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.080
How would this work. Your wisdom teeth would be removed

63
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.080
and you would put them in a kit offered by

64
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.080
a company. The tooth placed on dry ice, rushed to

65
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.560
a lab where the pulp would be extracted and preserved

66
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:37.639
as a potentially life changing form of cellular insurance. Now

67
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.560
this isn't for someone else, This is for you, so

68
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.520
you don't have to worry about donor cells. The cells

69
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.840
would go back to you, assuming it was covered by

70
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.159
your dental insurance plan. Now that's a whole other conversation.

71
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.319
So those are probably four and a half good news

72
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.719
stories today. Talk to your insurance company. I'm sure they'll

73
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.919
totally get what I was talking about there, and you

74
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:57.680
have an awesome day.
