1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:11,919 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. 2 00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:14,759 Hey, good news. We figured out who's been doing the ring and run. 3 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,079 No, it's not those pesky kids next door. It's a bear. 4 00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:23,839 We found this out via a ring at camera. A group of bears approached 5 00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:27,640 the porch of a home around twelve forty five am one night. One walked 6 00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:30,679 up to the front door to get a closer look. The bear, closing 7 00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:33,719 in on the doorbell, got on his hind legs to paw, sniff and 8 00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:37,479 lick at the glowing device a few times before running off with his bear friends. 9 00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:41,039 If you do run into a bear, the National Park Service has some 10 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,479 tips. They say. Now, this isn't Johnny Mack saying this, this 11 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,600 is the National Park Service. You could choose your own advice here, but 12 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,640 according to this article, identify yourself to the bear by talking calmly so the 13 00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:55,920 bear knows you're a human and not a prey animal. Hello, mister bear, 14 00:00:56,159 --> 00:00:58,960 I'm a human. I'm not gonna bother you. They also advise you 15 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,399 to remain still stand here ground, but slowly wave your arms. Stay calm, 16 00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:04,840 and remember that most bears don't want to attack you. They just want 17 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:07,519 to ring your doorbell, and they usually just want to be left alone. 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,560 I wanted to be left alone to the bear rang my door, and this 19 00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:14,439 is probably how I would get killed. They warn us do not climb a 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,239 tree. You see both grizzly bears and black bears can climb trees. I 21 00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:22,359 also recently learned on the internet lions can climb trees. I had no idea 22 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,120 they're totally gonna get me. Congratulations to Sam who's seventeen and broke the world 23 00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:32,079 record for fastest time to solve a Rubik's cube in free fall while skydiving. 24 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,359 See you didn't expect that second part there. Sam said it took quote exactly 25 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,760 five tries to beat the world record. Sam explains, it's very loud. 26 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,280 You got the wind blowing in your face. It's a lot harder to concentrate 27 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,920 than if you're just on the ground solving the Rubik's cube, and you have 28 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,879 to hold on tight to the cube from the force of the strong winds. 29 00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:49,920 I wonder what kind of damage Rubiks cube does if you drop it from ten 30 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,799 thousand feet Probably not good, right, How long does it take? Twenty 31 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,120 eight point two five seconds? I love the quarter second there too. I 32 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,239 wonder what the old record was in innovative brain implant has helped the paralyzed woman 33 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,599 speak again. Awesome. She had lost the ability to speak due to a 34 00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:08,400 stroke. She can now communicate using a talking digital avatar that conveys a motion. 35 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,840 The device uses machine learning to matt brain signals and synthesize them into speech 36 00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:17,960 and facial expressions. Researchers aimed to create a standalone, portable device for long 37 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,680 term use. Good news for Sparky, the eight year old blind border Collie. 38 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,400 Sparky got out and wound up in Baisley Pond in Jamaica Bay, over 39 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,599 by JFK Airport. Two officers from the one thirteen, as we say in 40 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,240 Queens that's the one hundred and thirteenth Precinct, responded to the incident tod eight 41 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,719 thirty in the morning and successfully rescued Sparky. Body Camrahge footage shared by the 42 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:45,319 NYPD shows the two officers entering the murky swamp like water and wading through vegetation 43 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,719 to reach Sparky. Officer Esposito said, pup, you're okay, You're okay. 44 00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,719 Officer Esposito grabs the dog puts them on the ground safely after catching his 45 00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:55,240 breath. He's seen relaying the message on his radio before placing the dog at 46 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,439 the backseat of the patrol car. He then covered Sparky with a coat to 47 00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:01,520 warm him up. We see on the camera as Posito telling his partner, 48 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,840 I can't feel anything bless the heat. Now, I was worried about Sparky. 49 00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:07,439 What happened to Sparky? All right? What happened to this blind dog? 50 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,960 How did it get out? Did somebody own it? Yes, Sparky 51 00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:15,840 has been reunited with its owner.
