She became an instant multimillionaire after winning a luxury home in England's Lake District. After entering a drawing, The fully furnished property comes mortgage free and as its own private lake. Martin had told her, You'll never win in a million years, she said, I've been entering for four years. Martin's been moaning at me to stop. Even if I didn't win. I like knowing I was supporting amazing charities, but winning has shown. This is precisely why I never listened to him, she said. Honestly, I didn't think it was real. I thought maybe at one on thousand dollars they told me I'd want a house worth four point five million. In addition to the house, she got three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars in cash to help with the costs. She could choose to live in the house, rent it out or sell it. The couple had been talking about downsizing, but now they said, we've upsized massively. It's a funny old world. The extra money's taken so much pressure office financially.

1:12 It gives a security and peace of mind we never dreamed of. The five bedroom home features Florida ceiling windows, solar panels, a floating staircase, panoramic lake views, and a waterfront jetty with a sauna, hot tub and an outdoor shower. Not bad. Now that house doesn't do it for you, How about Florida Man's House. It has found a buyer willing to pay the full half million dollar asking price. The twenty two room house gained attention for its theme park style interior, Each room designed around different concept, including a saloon, a pirate room, nineteen fifties inspired space theme, and a taxidermy room featuring stuffed cats. Jenna told the local news the elaborate design, where's her parents' idea? The new buyer's plan to convert the home into a short term rental ingratulations to a sea turtle that had survived a shark attack. It's been released back in the Atlantic Ocean after months of rehab and now swims with only three flippers and carries a satellite tracker. Heather is the chief science officer at the Loggerhead Marine Life Center. To prepare the turtle for re entering the ocean, they gradually acclimated her by keeping her tank water near eighty degrees.

2:21 On the day of the release, the ocean was seventy seven. The turtle shut up at the center in November after a shark attack the turtle, leaving severe injuries to the turtle's next shell and both front flippers. Most of her left fore limb had to be amputated. Heather said, it's always very gratifying to see these animals go back into their ocean home, and I think it's particularly gratifying when you can track them on satellite and see exactly where they're going and what they're doing. Meanwhile, good news for the polar bears living around the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. The polar bears are in better physical condition than they were twenty five years ago, even though sea ice has declined. The Norwegian Polar Institute analyzed more than a eleven hundred body measurements from seven hundred and seventy adult polar bears between nineteen ninety two and twenty nineteen. Even though there are more ice free days, the average body condition of adult polar bears improved after the year two thousand. Researchers have a theory. One is that the land based prey like reindeer and walras's had been over hunted in the past, so now they're not. Another is that the tricking sea ice might be concentrating traditional prey like ring seals in a smaller areas, making hunting more efficient for the polar bears.

3:30 Researchers point out, though, that the trend may not continue, as sea loss ice eventually forces the polar bears to travel even further to find food. Oh no. A police sergeant has been fired for using a picture frame to weigh down her laptop keys and give the false impression that she was working from home. Sergeant X used the trick on the majority of shifts she worked in April of May last year. The officer admitted to using a quarter of a frame to weigh down the key so the laptop would not go on a sleep mode. An investigation had been opened after data used by the police's Professional Standards department showed the sergeant's keystrokes were kind of high, like three to eight times higher than similar officers. The police said, we know officers and staff deal with immense pressure and high workloads, and while Sergeant X had some mitigating circumstances, it's unacceptable for an officer to act in this deliberate and deceitful way by abusing the trust place in her by making it appear she was working and she was not.
