Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I got a deal for you,

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.160
and I'm Shinny Mack with five food new stories in California.

3
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:14.919
Can I interest you in a house for a half

4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.359
a million dollars as well? Pretty good, right, except it's

5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.640
only half a house. That's right, half a house for

6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.760
half a million. What happened? The house was hit by

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.079
a tree, leaving only half the house standing. So half

8
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.479
the house is on sale for four nine Kevin is

9
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.320
the listing agent until the La Times. It's an open

10
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:40.000
concept floor plan. Meanwhile, in Mexico, they set the record

11
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.479
for world's largest string cheese ball. That's right. The municipality

12
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.759
of reyes Etla wanted to organize the record attempt. Cheesemakers

13
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.359
used a rotating table to create the massive string cheese ball.

14
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.479
The finished ball broke the record at fourteen hundred and

15
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.320
two point five eight pounds. Organizers set it to two

16
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.960
six hundred and forty one gallons of milk to create

17
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.719
the cheese. Good news, we've caught your twelve hundred pound

18
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.439
black angus bull that had escaped in McHenry County. The

19
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.200
Sheriff's office had issued a warning on social media about

20
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.519
a loose bull in the vegetation between South Union Road

21
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.879
and South Grant Highway. You know the place can The

22
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.000
neighbor said, school buses are going by. That was our

23
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:22.840
biggest fear, that he would cross the road, you know,

24
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.719
run out in front of a school bus or something.

25
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.359
Ranchers on horseback we're able to get a rope around

26
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.480
the bull, but the bull broke free and charged at

27
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.879
them before fleeing into a cornfield. Ranchers were eventually able

28
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.719
to surround the bull, lasso him, calm him down, and

29
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.040
walk them back to the farm. The owner said the

30
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.079
bull's knew and he's only been here a week. No

31
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.439
ranchers or bulls were injured in the pursuit. Meanwhile, researchers

32
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.840
have found a new method detect bacteria in your wound.

33
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.120
A handheld device lights up bacteria previously invisible to the

34
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.159
human eye. It uses violet light to illuminate molecules in

35
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.519
the cell walls of any bacteria. Different types of bacteria

36
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.920
turned different colors, allowing physicians to immediately determine how much

37
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.640
and which types of bacteria are in the wound. Doctor

38
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.039
Armstrong says we're hopeful this new technology can help surgeons

39
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.840
improve their accuracy when pinpointing, and consequently removing bacteria from

40
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.960
wounds and therefore improve patient outcomes, particularly for those with

41
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.080
diabetic foot wounds. The world's largest wind powered cargo ship

42
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.879
made its first delivery across the Atlantic. The wind powered

43
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.039
cargo ship was loaded with hundreds of ballads of champagne,

44
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.759
wine and cognac. It's the first time in nearly a

45
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.520
century that a large cargo ship crossed the Atlantic powered

46
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.159
almost entirely by the wind. A French startup that designed

47
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:42.759
the show called taut towt trans Oceanic Wind Transport. They

48
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.800
argue that sailing cargo ships can viably compete with container

49
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.800
ships running on fossil fuels. One of the co founders says,

50
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.719
we know the wind is abundant. We've known it for centuries. Now,

51
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.960
with weather models, satellite communications and the routing intelligence that

52
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.520
we can put behind it, it makes wind a reliable

53
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.960
source of propulsion. The ship is called a niemos and

54
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.680
it's different from a traditional sailing ship. It takes inspiration

55
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.439
from sailboats used in racing. The mass are made from

56
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.960
carbon fiber that makes them so lightweight that they can

57
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.280
be much taller than traditional wood masts. The extra height

58
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:13.960
it means they can hold up sales that are around

59
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.759
twice as large and catch more wind. The sales are

60
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.280
deployed by a mechanized system rather than sailors working by hand.

61
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.919
The co founder says you could actually handle the whole

62
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.400
rigging the seven sales on board in the three thousand

63
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.159
square meters of sail with just one remote control. The

64
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.439
ship is two hundred and sixty five feet long, a

65
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.039
little bigger than the Cutty Sark, the famous British clipper ship.

66
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.560
But while the Cutty Sark had forty eight sailors, an

67
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.960
Nemos has just seven as a backup. The ship also

68
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.039
has diesel electric engines. When there's not much wind, those

69
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.039
engines can be used in a hybrid mode at very

70
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.840
low power, but around ninety five percent of the time

71
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.120
the ship relies on its sales. And those are your

72
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.800
five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program,
