0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Congratulations to David. He has added yet another Guinness World Record title to his tally. He caught and put on five T shirts launched from a T shirt canon in forty six point zero nine seconds. David has broken more than two hundred and fifty Guiness World records. He said he had thought about trying this one a few times in the past, but never made an official try due to scheduling and equipment problems. David's friend Jake operated the T shirt cannon and fired off the shirts for David to catch and quickly put on. For David, this is the one hundred and sixty seventh concurrently held record. He's trying to overtake the world's top record breaker, Silvio, who holds one hundred and eighty titles right now. Good job by the scientists. A new vaccine patch could protect kids from measles. It's the size of a small band aid and it's easier to transport store than standard injections. And a trial conducted in Gambia, vaccine patches were put on two hundred healthy infants and toddlers and following one dose, more than ninety percent of the babies were protected against measles and against all new bella. The patches could ensure that ninety five percent of children worldwide receive immunization.
1:17 Good job by a police dog. An eighty five year old woman had gone missing for two hours. She was found clinging to a tree down a ravine. Police officers had gotten a call from a family member who said they couldn't find the woman who got lost during a walk. Body camridge footage shared on a Facebook group shows Officer Austin Spear following the dog's lead as he tracks the woman, who could not be seen from the roadway. The officer said, this is a friendly dog. He found you. We're going to get you home, okay. Mercury the dog joined the department a year and a half ago to be trained at tracking missing people. He's proved that he's pretty good at his job, which also includes detecting narcotics. The son of the woman said I'd been searching for her for two hours and Mercury the dog and Officer Spear found her in ten minutes. Unbelievable. It was like watching a Navy extraction. Sean Cummings is on a mission to wipe out school lunch debts for kids. When Shawn's late wife, Kathy faced a terminal diagnosis of gall bladder cancer, they had a conversation about extending her love for the community because around that time when they heard a local school was withholding a transcript for a seventeen year old over a two dollars and fifty cent lunch debt. After Kathy's death, Sewn launched a GoFundMe page. The response was nothing short of incredible.
2:25 Within a month, that had raised over eighty three thousand dollars to alleviate school lunch debts. Sean says the amount of money that was raised shows you that people believe in her cause. I'm just the delivery boy. I found it cathartic to know she's still helping these people through my actions. You don't have to change the world, you just have to change a little of it. Congratulations to Ed Dwight making it to space. Back in nineteen sixty one, he had hoped to become the first black astronaut in space, but he never made it. Now, at ninety years old, he made it on a Blue Origin capsule. Dwight was an Air Force pilot back when JFK championed him as a candidate for the early Astronauts, but he wasn't picked for the class of nineteen sixty three. Here, at age ninety, he joined five other passengers on the Blue Origin capsules at Skim Space on a ten minute flight.
3:09 He called it a life changing experience. After exiting the capsule, I said, I thought I really didn't need this in my life, but now I need it in my life. I'm ecstatic. He is now the new record holder for oldest person in space, breaking a record once held by William Shantner. Yeah. Those are your five good news stories for today.
