Rare Harry Potter Find

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media Either I'm Jennie Mack with your five good news stories. You have an old copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. While one that spent years sitting on a shelf was expected to go for thousands at an auction, it belongs to Navide, who received the book as a child and by his own account, actually used it the way books are meant to be used. By reading it. Now, at thirty seven years old, he's decided to part with it. But what makes it value is that it's not pristine, but it's one of the rare first editions, first impression softcover copies printed by Bloomsbury in June of nineteen ninety seven. There were and fifty of those produced. Mayvie'd said, I liked it very much.

0:44 I read it quite a lot and went on to read the other Harry Potter books. It's been on my shelf for a few years now, and I thought this would be a good time to pass it on as someone else who will appreciate it. How do you know it is a first edition? Well, if you go to page fifty three, one Wand is listed twice in Harry's School supply. Another clue is on the back cover, the letter O is missing from the word philosophers. Also, the school is described as Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, wording that was later reversed. Expert Robert French said, this well thumbed example has clearly been much loved and read repeatedly exactly what it was printed to do. There's some interesting anomaies which identify a first edition first printing of the book either softer hardcover. The most obvious telltale sign is that you don't have a first impression. If the bottom of the front cover states that the book is a triple Smarties Gold Award winner, it was expected to go for round five thousand dollars. A cafe owner in British Columbia decided to celebrate their eightieth birthday by building a carrot cake the size of a small apartment. Yep, that's what Ted did. Ted owns Granville's Coffee. He assembled a carrot cake measuring seventeen feet by seventeen feet. How much did it weigh, John well sixty four pounds. It required help from multiple bakeries and took more than a month to complete. In the end, the cake was made from four hundred and thirty individual cakes. All right, John, how do I make such a cake? Well? You need seventeen hundred and sixty pounds of carrots, seven hundred pounds of butter, thousands of eggs, and nearly two thousand pounds of icing. This breaks the previous record of a carrot cake, which weighed only forty five seventy four pounds. This one

2:18 over six thousand pounds. A different coffee shop in Rhode Island is getting some love after the community rallied around a local barista whose tip jar was stolen. Michael, who is autistic, works for her mom. Red White and Brew also employs workers with mental disabilities and sells products made by the workers. Some jerk stole twenty dollars from Michael's tipjar. Michael knows many of the regulars personally, and thus the theft felt deeply personal to him. Mom told the Washington Post he was really interested in food service, and I thought what better way to connect him to community than a coffee shop. To me, it just made sense. The police chief heard what happened and brought over materials for a new tip jar with a lid, and promised to look into the theft. Then the town got involved. The mayor shared the story and wrote, Red, White, and Brew is a very special place run by wonderful people. I've come to know Michael very well, and believe me, it's not the money that's bothering him. He's hurt. The next day, customer showed up and started leaving tips. One woman whose own son is autistic, left one hundred dollars and told Michael he inspired her to believe her son could also have a fulfilling future as working adults. People kept coming in.

3:19 By the end, Michael had about nine hundred dollars in tips. Mom said that was the most special part. It was truly just one person after another leading with such kindness and grace that it renewed my love for humans and humanity. Barbara is seventy eight. She's gone viral. She'd took on a massive rope swing in Utah, launching herself onto a cliff. Operators say it's the longest rope swing in the US. The swing is suspended between two five hundred foot rock cliffs in the desert, creating a giant pendulum arc over the red rock landscape. No thank you, I have discovered as an adult that I'm more scared of heights than I realized. I actually found this out in Iceland. We went whitewater rafting in Iceland and then we went up and there was a spot where you could jump off a cliff into the water, and yalill do that, and then boy, I just had that visceral reaction. I was like, I couldn't do it. I had no idea how that inmate I digress Andy operates the swing. He said, we tried to design the swing so anyone can use it, including elderly people, children and those with disabilities. So it's great seeing and taken full advantage of people. In Harrisonburg, Virginia, had a deal with a bull on the loose. The bull escaped from a livestock auction and spent more than an hour roaming freely near Eastern Minna Night University. The police said on social media, if you come across the bull police, do not approach it or try to capture it yourself. These animals are large, quick, and can be very dangerous. Multiple agencies got involved. The bull was tranquilized was transported back to its owner. The police said, we would like to thank the community for staying inside, keeping us updated on signings during the incident. That incident once
