00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:09.119
Caalaroga shock Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:11.679
good news stories. Good news. If you're a kid in

3
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.240
Michigan and you want to run a lemonade stand, the

4
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.920
lawyers have your back. A new bill in Michigan aims

5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.559
to make sure children can run classic summertime lemonade stands

6
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.000
without worrying about permits or government fees. Yes, what are

7
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.239
we doing people? A state lawmaker learned that a local

8
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.760
health department had required children to pay fees to operate

9
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:37.240
neighborhood lemonade stands. Fortunately, State Rep. Camcavit responded by introducing

10
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.119
a bill that would exempt most child run lemonade stands

11
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.159
from those regulations. You just know someone's going to abuse

12
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.719
this and have like, you know, run like an internationally

13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.600
leveraged lemonade company and have like a five year old

14
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.320
sitting at a desk. But meanwhile it's like this big,

15
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.640
huge company. You know that's going to happen. Right, As

16
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.439
a law, miners would be allowed to sell non alcoholic

17
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:01.359
beverages from temporary stands on private property without paying licensing fees,

18
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.200
as long as the business earns less than five thousand

19
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.040
dollars a year. Right, that'll keep out the corporate dollars there.

20
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.319
Kavin said, this is a practical change will make it

21
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.040
easier for our kids to gain real business experience and

22
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:17.040
develop civic responsibility. A new smartphone app may predict asthma

23
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.519
attacks days before they happen. Scientists have developed a smartphone

24
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.079
app that may be able to detect asthma attacks up

25
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.760
to three days before symptoms become serious simply by analyzing

26
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.000
a person's voice. Interesting. I wonder what happens if they

27
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.200
analyze someone's voice who has recorded four episodes of this

28
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.079
show and two episodes of Daily Comedy News, the other

29
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.719
podcast I host. Your voice does get a little thin,

30
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.159
and I don't think I have asthma, but I digress again.

31
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.480
Researchers at Mastrict University in the Netherlands found that subtle

32
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.840
changes in speech can signal the beginning of a flare

33
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.640
up in people with asthma. Were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

34
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.959
you may know that as COPD. During the study, participants

35
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.920
recorded themselves speaking into a mobile phone every day over

36
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.760
a twelve week period, while also reporting any changes in

37
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.879
their symptoms. The researchers discovered that his breathing problems began

38
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.560
to develop. Voices became noticeably rougher, breathier, and less steady,

39
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.840
even before patients realized they were getting worse. Are you

40
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.439
sure they haven't recorded six straight podcasts? Doctor Simon said,

41
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.000
we found that the voice significantly changes, and this occurs

42
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.400
as early as the first day that symptoms deteriorate. Once

43
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.199
you all listen to the next episode of this one,

44
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:24.800
I've got to record it right after this and we'll

45
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.319
see how my voice is doing. Be careful if you

46
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.919
stay at a hotel in Tibet. Two hotel guests into

47
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.639
Bet had a visitor to their room. It was a

48
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.759
brown bear. The brown bear forced its way into their room.

49
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.199
Security cameras captured the brown bear strolling down a hallway

50
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.479
at a hotel before the brown bear pushed through the

51
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.680
door of an occupied room. The startled guests said they

52
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.039
found themselves face to face with the brown bear for

53
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.919
a few tense moments before the brown bear turned around

54
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.000
and walked back out down the hall. The hotel owner

55
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.599
used to flashlight and other tools to safely scare the

56
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.919
brown bear out of the building. No one was injured.

57
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.840
The door has been repaired. The hotel says it's adding

58
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.719
additional brown Bear security measures to make sure this never

59
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.319
happens again. Meanwhile, in Australia, there was some weird stuff

60
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.599
on the beach. Why are there mysterious metal spheres on

61
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.759
the beach? It turns out it was space debris. The

62
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.120
objects were found on a beach in Queensland. The Australian

63
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:26.039
Space Agency identified the spheres as pressure vessels from a rocket,

64
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:31.039
sometimes nicknamed space balls. Officials believe these space balls came

65
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.879
from a foreign launch vehicle that recently re entered Earth's

66
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.960
atmosphere before landing in the ocean and eventually washing ashore.

67
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.960
Space debris expert Alice Gorman explained that the space balls

68
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.280
are designed to hold fuel under high pressure and often

69
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.400
are among the few parts of a rocket capable of

70
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.080
surviving the intense heat of reentry. I'm just going to

71
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.000
get right to the headline. Loose bowl brings English cricket

72
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.560
match to an unexpected halt. That's right. A cricket match

73
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.400
in Northern England came to a sudden stop when a

74
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.879
loose bull charged onto the field. The animal had to

75
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.400
from a nearby farm and wandered onto the pitch Burnupfield

76
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.719
Cricket Club was playing Heenton Lions Cricket Club near Newcastle.

77
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.360
Video from the scene shows players and even the umpire

78
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.520
scrambling out of the way as the bull charged across

79
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.720
the field. Attempts to remove the bull were unsuccessful. The

80
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.439
bull's owner even brought a cow to try and lure

81
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.160
the bull back home, but the bull was like nah,

82
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.519
I like it. There was no way to continue play.

83
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.040
Officials called off the match. Police said the bull was

84
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.879
later safely returned to its enclosure. No player, spectators other

85
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.360
bull were injured. I do not have a score for you,

86
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.600
and those are your five good news stories for today.

87
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:37.240
Have a good one.
