00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.599
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello there,
I'm Jennie Mack with five good news stories.

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.480
Good news if you were recently on
a plane and you like plots straight

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.640
out of like a Hallmark movie.
This is your captain speaking. Will you

4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.839
marry me? Yeah? Captain Conrad
Hank got on the PA system during a

5
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.359
recent flight to Krakau. He told
passengers about the love of his life,

6
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.359
his girlfriend, Paula. She is
a flight attendant and was on the same

7
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.840
flight he made the announcement, which
is, you know, much more enjoyable

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.200
than a two hour delay. Paula
heard it and she came running down the

9
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:43.240
aisle. Luckily for everybody on board, she said yeah. Keith the passenger

10
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.960
commented, very nice moment seeing person
from row three. There were a lot

11
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.320
of wet eyes on board. Best
wishes for a long and happy future together.

12
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.039
Excuse me, can I have a
soda? Good news for Asian elephants

13
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.920
tang mow and pac boone. They
are moving to a new mixed species habitat.

14
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.000
They're leaving Australia's Taranga Zoo after almost
two decades. This is part of

15
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.519
Toroango's Great Migration. They'll move into
a newly established fourteen hectare open range habitat

16
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.359
in South Australia with three other elephants
from the Auckland Zoo and the Perth Zoo.

17
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.200
Meanwhile, at the Toroango Zoo there'll
be a new habitat replacing the space

18
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.680
these guys were in. This will
feature Hari, the greater one horned rhinoceros

19
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.439
from the Dubo Zoo, who will
join several water buffalo. In case you

20
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.200
didn't know, the greater one horned
rhinoceros is often referred to as a real

21
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:34.359
life unicorn because they have one horn. Cameron Kerr is in charge of the

22
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.000
place and he says while these magnificent
creatures will certainly be missed in Sydney,

23
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.959
I'm so hard on a plan for
the move to Monardo Safari Park will have

24
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.879
be able to join a bigger herd
and live in a more complex habitat.

25
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.840
I'd like to thank the Kingdom of
Thailand for their ongoing support of this program

26
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.079
and also acknowledge the dedicated keepers and
staff across Toroango Zoo Sydney who've cared for

27
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.359
our elephants in Sydney for almost two
decades. Zoo's South Australia Chief Executive at

28
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.519
Lean said the most important thing is
to get the elephants safely to their new

29
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.680
home in South Australia, so they
settle in and start to benefit from being

30
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.400
in a social herd. Did you
know there's a giant heart on Pluto?

31
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.960
Picture Jupiter's great red spot, except
this is a heart. Researchers believe the

32
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:16.039
huge heart shaped feature was likely caused
by a giant and slow oblique angle impact.

33
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:24.599
Scientists used smooth particle hydronamics simulation software
to digitally recreate such impacts. The

34
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:30.800
simulations confirm these scientist's suspicions about the
angle of impact. The heart has several

35
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.560
elements. The western part is called
Sputnik plnesia. That area is about three

36
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.680
to four kilometers lower in elevation than
most of the surface of Pluto. Doctor

37
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:44.080
Harry Balentine from the University of bern
said the bright appearance of spotne Plnesia is

38
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.599
due to it being mostly filled with
white nitrogen ice that moves and convex to

39
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.919
constantly smooth out the surface. The
nitrogen most likely accumulated quickly after the impact

40
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.800
due to the lower altitude. The
eastern part of the heart is also covered

41
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.560
by a similar layer, much of
which is still unclear to side scientists.

42
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.360
Remember the Tiger King, Joe Exotic
and all that well, A San Diego

43
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.039
Wildlife Sanctuary announced that two of these
sixty nine tigers rescued from the Tiger King

44
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:15.639
are thriving in their alpine, California
location. It took three years to get

45
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.319
the Bengal tigers at Jim and Zoe
back on normal weight and back to their

46
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.520
wild ways, an executive for Lions, Tigers and Bears told Fox five at

47
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.520
San Diego the trauma from long term
abuse had led to the development of uncharacteristic

48
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.360
behavior, such as not eating for
days at a time. You can visit

49
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.280
Zoe and Jim at the sanctuary,
but you have to make a reservation.

50
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.680
And as the name implies, there's
not just tigers. There are also lions,

51
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.159
bobcats, and leopards. However,
in this article no mention of bears.

52
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.800
Have you heard of Taylor Swift?
No, not her, Taylor Jswift.

53
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.919
Taylor J. Swift first learned of
the singer when he was fifteen years

54
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.479
old. He's thirty four now.
He said. At first, I thought,

55
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.520
no big deal, she's a singer. Where they hit song or two.

56
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.800
This won't impact me, But I
was wrong. As time continued,

57
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.639
I started to find it frustrating,
He told Business Insider. I was just

58
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.360
a kid trying to live my life, and now I'm sharing a name with

59
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.240
a big singer. And I just
moved back to Ohio to live with my

60
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.800
dad. And I was the new
kid at school and my name was Taylor

61
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.360
Swift. To top it off,
I had a Justin Bieber haircut, I

62
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:16.639
had glasses. I was on the
debate team. It was not a fun

63
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.079
time. He considered going by TJ, but stuck to his guns and said,

64
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.839
I was given this name for a
reason, and I'm going to grow

65
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.759
and become who I'm meant to be, Taylor J. Swift. Taylor J.

66
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.160
Says, when I do interviews with
the press, I asked them to

67
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.199
police quote me as Taylor Jswift,
so no one confuses me with the pop

68
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.319
singer. That way, no one
wonders why Taylor Swift is speaking on congressional

69
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.680
modernization and oversight. I also include
the jay on my business cards when applying

70
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.199
to jobs to avoid confusion. Yeah, here at the Starbucks, when we

71
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.000
didn't think Taylor Swift wanted to be
a barista. It's okay, Jay.

72
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.720
Oh yeah. This creeps into life
every day, he says. For example,

73
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.720
just this past weekend, I booked
a dinner reservation for two under the

74
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.680
name Taylor Swift. I could tell
the hostess seemed a bit disappointed when I

75
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.879
should it up. Those are your
