00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:10.839
The shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. A man
2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:15.560
was baffled he discovered one hundred and
fifty pieces of corn on the cob under
3
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.480
his floorboards. You may have heard
the broom over the show or I was
4
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.079
asking, what's the plural of corn
on the cob? Is it corns on
5
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.239
the cob? Corns on the cobs? Corn on the cobs? I don't
6
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.320
know, but he found one hundred
and fifty of them. They were under
7
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.960
the floorboards. He was working on
his eighteenth century house. He decided to
8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.759
take a look under the floorboards and
he found the corns on the cobs.
9
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:39.159
His guess is that a previous homeowner
must have put the corn in there as
10
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.079
a form of insulation of sworts,
but he said there was no smell.
11
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.159
It mostly likely didn't buy a grade
because the weather didn't get to it and
12
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.880
it was closed off. One jokester
on Reddit said, your house is built
13
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.960
on an ancient corn barrel ground,
you run the risk of chicken ghosts coming
14
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.520
to claim it. That's right,
poultry geists. A more serious user said,
15
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.439
hey, call your local university.
There might be extinct strains of corn
16
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.680
in there. Nice job, out
of two fifth graders in Green Springs.
17
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.200
They're Layla and Maddie, and they
noticed kids weren't being quite as nice as
18
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.040
they used to be, and they
decided to take action. Rather than respond
19
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.799
to cruelness with cruelness, they chose
kindness. They created the kindness Layla said,
20
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:19.239
it kind of started when some of
the fifth graders were not being nice
21
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.400
to each other. There was a
big change from the start of the year.
22
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:23.400
It didn't feel right, and I
felt like if we had the club,
23
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.920
something could change. They meet during
lunch break. It's open to anybody
24
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.359
in the fifth grade. Maddie says. We do a bunch of different activities.
25
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.239
Right now, we're making bracelets.
They're planning on making some posters featuring
26
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.719
kindness slogans. They'll be displayed around
the school. Layla says, we want
27
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.680
to spread a message that everybody needs
to be treated with respect and kindness.
28
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.359
We want them to know you can
always change if you think what you're doing
29
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.959
is wrong. Good job out of
Maury Gronstrom, a biochemist. Maury is
30
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.560
sourcing microalgae from the Baltic Sea and
using science and stuff to use the algae
31
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.760
as a replacement for plastic. The
plan is to use microalgae as ingredients for
32
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.840
a hope of products. In addition
to cosmetics and human food, the micrology
33
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.400
extracts can be used into churgents,
animal feed, packaging, and even as
34
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.800
a replacement for plastic. And I
love this next sentence. She asked,
35
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:15.840
just imagine if Ikea asked for her
algae based meatballs globally, which could happen?
36
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.919
I am Patty Callahan, Henry,
I am Mary Kay Andrews, I'm

38
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.319
four longtime friends, the four of
us, with more than seventy five published

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.840
books between us. Through end depth
conversations and interviews, we discussed the books
40
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.680
we've written, the books we're reading, and the art of storytelling. We
41
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:49.280
are here with endless stories to support
indie bookstores, authors, librarians and readers
42
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.759

trends in publishing. On this channel, you will find hundreds of episodes with
44
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.719
some of your favorite including the four
of us, with our new releases,
45
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.800
as we reveal the stories behind the
stories offer writing tips and talk about the
46
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.639
creation of novels, memoirs and nonfiction
titles. So if you love books and
47
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.199
you're curious about the writing world,
you are in the right place. You
48
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:29.800
can listen to friends and fiction on
any major streaming platform. You know,
49
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.360
it's never too late to put out
your first album, and that's what eighty
50
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.319
year old Sylvia Dan did. She's
a Romanian folk singer. She learned folk
51
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.000
songs from her grandmother. She spent
her life caring for livestock in the Carpathian
52
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.599
Mountains, and now she's storing on
an album that was released in the UK.
53
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.400
The album's called inter Being. It
was recorded in a remote village.
54
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.800
A team of artists, videographers,
photographers, and musicians traveled to the village,
55
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.680
which is one hundred and eighty kilometers
north of Bucharest, to record with
56
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.800
Dan and local musicians on tradition old
Romanian flutes. Dan says the album means
57
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.360
a lot to me. It makes
me proud that future generations will hear my
58
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.240
ancestors songs. Music and nature are
embedded in our blood, and I'm so
59
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.520
happy that money raise will help restore
the landscape near my village. It's been
60
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.120
devastating to see the destruction and this
project gives me hope. Well, maybe
61
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.839
she should team up with Linn Cole, who's a grandmother, A young grandmother
62
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.759
at fifty seven. Lynn Coole to
grandma, goes to EDM clubs on her
63
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.319
own. She's been to more than
fifty EDM festivals just this year. She
64
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.120
says she enjoys the parties with no
drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes.
65
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.600
She's just there for the music.
Lynn, who's from Sydney, said,
66
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.800
my fun is pure, no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. I
67
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.000
try to show you don't need any
of that. Have fun Hart style music.
68
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.680
When you enter a festival, the
music's loud. Everyone's just as excited
69
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.240
as you are to be there.
We're all there for one reason to connect
70
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.759
to the DJ and their music.
No matter the age, the energy and
71
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.759
the vibe is so amazing. I
greet old friends I met at past festivals,
72
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.120
and I always make new ones.
I love people and I love to
73
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.560
hug. Unfortunately, she can't find
people her own age to go. What
74
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.000
she says, let go to all
my festivals by myself. I'll be waiting
75
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.199
a long time for someone my age
to join me. My children don't go
76
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.160
to reeves anymore, so I go
by myself. My kids are okay with
77
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.480
it. She recently retired and bought
a camper van so that you can go
78
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.399
to other festivals across Australia. That's
your five good news stories for today.

embedded in our blood, and I'm so
59
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.520
happy that money raise will help restore
the landscape near my village. It's been
60
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.120
devastating to see the destruction and this
project gives me hope. Well, maybe
61
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.839
she should team up with Linn Cole, who's a grandmother, A young grandmother
62
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.759
at fifty seven. Lynn Coole to
grandma, goes to EDM clubs on her
63
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.319
own. She's been to more than
fifty EDM festivals just this year. She
64
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.120
says she enjoys the parties with no
drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes.
65
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.600
She's just there for the music.
Lynn, who's from Sydney, said,
66
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.800
my fun is pure, no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. I
67
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.000
try to show you don't need any
of that. Have fun Hart style music.
68
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.680
When you enter a festival, the
music's loud. Everyone's just as excited
69
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.240
as you are to be there.
We're all there for one reason to connect
70
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.759
to the DJ and their music.
No matter the age, the energy and
71
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.759
the vibe is so amazing. I
greet old friends I met at past festivals,
72
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.120
and I always make new ones.
I love people and I love to
73
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.560
hug. Unfortunately, she can't find
people her own age to go. What
74
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.000
she says, let go to all
my festivals by myself. I'll be waiting
75
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.199
a long time for someone my age
to join me. My children don't go
76
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.160
to reeves anymore, so I go
by myself. My kids are okay with
77
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.480
it. She recently retired and bought
a camper van so that you can go
78
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.399
to other festivals across Australia. That's
your five good news stories for today.
