0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five Good News Stories the lost editions. Just to catch you up. I found a file. The file is called Good News twenty four and I realized I had a bunch of episodes I never recorded last year for various reasons. So on Saturdays, I've been doing the lost episodes. Let me tell you about some stuff from a few months ago. A couple were surprised when they both got down on their knees to propose marriage at the same time. Yeah, Rachel and Rashad were proposing. They were at a concert. You see, they had shared their first kiss at a Modest Mouse concert back in twenty twenty one, so back in June. These are the last episodes. After all, they went down to see Modest Mouse again. Rachel had a ring tucked in her pocket. Rashad had the same plan.
0:52 Both had confided in Rachel's sixteen year old daughter, Jasmine that they were going to propose. Jasmine had to play tom So Rachel drops to one knee first. Rareshad starts laughing and he does the same thing. Jasmine, knowing what was about to go down, captured it all on camera. Rachel said, I wanted to get down on one knee to make him feel like a prince, just like he makes me feel like a princess. We were so shocked at what happened that neither of us thought to actually say yes, Kaisha curious what song they picked? Dashboard down in Sydney the Botanic Gardens, which are beautiful. I have been there, really great. They were auctioning off six saplings to spread enthusiasm, interest and genetics around Australia. This a special species of pine tree found in the mountains near Sydney that have survived since the time of the dinosaurs.
1:42 There are ninety or so original trees surviving in the wild. They're located in an area so secretive that even scientists aren't allowed to know where they are. Unauthorized entry into the secret tree site is punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred and thirty thousand Australian dollars. According to the Australian Biodiversity Conservation Act, ignorance of the law is no excuse. The Aussie Is are worried about invasive species, which could wipe out the population in a matter of weeks. So any visitors to the secret location must be thoroughly sanitized and their activities carefully controlled. It's the Willemi pine. The species evolved ninety one million years ago. They thought it was extinct, but ninety ninety four scientists found the ninety specimens in the secret location. Anyway, they gave out some saplings hoping to spread the pine throughout Australia, so we have some diversity of location there. An expedition found a two foot tall bronze statue of the Greek goddess Diana. It at once adorned the fireplace on the Titanic. Georgia Company RMS Titanic conducts expeditions to document, monitor and recover the relics of the Titanic. They recently did an unmanned expedition to the site.
2:56 They're half buried in the mud. They found Goddess Diana without a sup of green to be seen on her flowing ground. James Pinka is a researcher at the company. He told NPR it's truly a needle in a haystack, that it's two and a half miles underwater and pitch black darkness, and we found her with just hours remaining in the expedition. There were a lot of tears in the room for a lot of us, even the people who have been there before. Scientists tell us van goes painting Starry Night's scientifically accurate. Doctor Hwang Young Jang says the scale of the paint strokes played a crucial role. With a high resolution digital picture, we were able to measure precisely the typical size of the brushstrokes and compare these to the scales expected from the turbulence theories. To reveal hidden turbulence, The research team used brushstrokes in the painting like leaves swirling in a funnel of wind, to examine the shape, energy, and scaling of atmospheric characteristics of the otherwise invisible atmosphere. Doctor Hwang says it reveals a deep and intuitive understanding of natural phenomena. Van Goes's precise representation of turbulence might be from studying the movement of clouds and the atmosphere, or an innate sense have had to capture the dynamism of the sky. A nice job by a rescue shelter in London. All Dogs Matter did a photoshoot for some older, bigger and less photogenic dogs.
4:12 The focus was also paired on pairs of dogs that needs to be adopted together Bobby and Brandy, twelve and fourteen years old, a bonded pair of Yorkshire Terriers, were looking for a home. Seventy one percent of people in a poll admitted seeing a cute dog's image on Instagram or TikTok and prompt them to go check out rescue sites. The glamour shots were captured on cameras provided by Wex Photo Video, which has partnered with the shelter to give these dogs another shot at showcasing their personalities. The marketing director, Paul says, every dog deserves their moment in the spotlight, regardless of age or appearance. Much like a dating profile. Pictures tell a thousand words. If these wonderful photos help even one pop find a home, considered a job well done. My current dogs are shelter dogs. Johnny Max had a dog every day of his life since nineteen eighty one.
4:57 All shelter dogs, and I love them all. You have an awesome day.
