1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:08,800 The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Hey, 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,839 good news. If you feel like you don't spend enough time on planes, 3 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,359 you can now stay in a Bowing seven twenty seven balanced on top of a 4 00:00:15,439 --> 00:00:20,440 jungle treehouse and it comes with ocean views. Yeah. Former Boeing seven twenty 5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,559 seven has been built in the canopy of the jungle in Manuel Antonio National Park 6 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,679 in Costa Rica. This overlooks the Pacific Ocean and is regularly visited by monkeys. 7 00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:34,200 The Bowing seven twenty seven treehouse not only has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, 8 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,719 but you're fifty feet over the jungle. The inside of the plane has 9 00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:43,560 been decorated using lovingly restored local teak, resulting in beautiful wood paneling fuselage with 10 00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:47,479 three queen size beds. You don't need to set an alarm, the monkeys 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,640 will wake you up. This thing isn't cheap. It is a running like 12 00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:54,840 seven fifty dollars a night depending on the exchange rates at the moment. There's 13 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,159 also the private jet Villa in Bally that combines the luxury of nineteen fifties air 14 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,359 travel with stunning scenery. That plane was once part of them Mandela Airlines fleet. 15 00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:07,359 That jet was taken apart, quote like Lego, transported to its new 16 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,040 spot and put back together. That one's a little smaller when it's a plane 17 00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:14,439 and not a hotel. It'll hold only around one hundred and fifty passengers. 18 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,840 Hey, if you like plane so much, wantn't you charter a private jet 19 00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:22,200 to fly your great Dane around the world. That's what Melanie and Albert did. 20 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,920 It only cost around ninety six thousand dollars. Yeah. Millian and Albert 21 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,200 dreamed of traveling Europe with their three dogs. Lucas he's two, Cooper, 22 00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:34,840 the Golden Retriever's fifteen. Little Brooklyn is a dashound six years old. They 23 00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:38,879 have visited six countries so far, including France, Germany, Austria, Czechia, 24 00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:44,719 England and Scotland. They stay at dog friendly airbnb's and plan to keep 25 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,879 going until November and then they'll head back home to Austin. Melanie said getting 26 00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:51,079 the dogs from the US to Europe took a lot of planning, but we 27 00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:53,560 couldn't leave them at home. We want to see the world with them. 28 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,000 It took three months of planning, cost eleven thousand dollars per person over one 29 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,280 hundred thousand for the whole flight. But now the dogs have seen Iris, 30 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,599 Prague, Vienna and we're planning to drive around the Scottis Highlands. I think 31 00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:07,560 the dogs really enjoy it. People on social media ask why we didn't leave 32 00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:09,439 them at home. The dogs might not know where they are, but they 33 00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:13,879 love exploring new places. It's about having them with us and making memories. 34 00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:15,840 Sitting at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and seeing them roll on the grass, 35 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,800 or at the Christmas markets or running on the beach in Edinburgh. It's 36 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,159 all just incredible. Hey, good news if you lost her Victorian ring, 37 00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:25,759 because it made its way back to you after a chance encounter on Facebook. 38 00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:30,960 Jemma found the silver ring thirty four years ago. It had two mysterious names 39 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,680 on it. She kept it in a safe and hoped to reconnect it with 40 00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:36,240 its owner. One day, she kind of forgot about it, and then 41 00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:38,439 late last year she stumbled across the ring again. She decided to go on 42 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,080 ancestry dot com. The ring was inscribed with the names Vincent and Walter Hand 43 00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:46,560 and their birth and death dates. The date show that Vincent passed away when 44 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,680 he was just two years old due to tuberculosis. Months later, Walter fell 45 00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:53,120 victim of the same disease. Jemma explained, eight year old May just thought 46 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,879 it was too sad to be melted down. It meant something to somebody. 47 00:02:55,879 --> 00:02:59,360 It really struck me that it would have been such a heartbreak for a woman 48 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,000 to lose a child so young. I always hoped to know who would belonged 49 00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:04,840 to, and I thought it was so sad that whoever she lost, those 50 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,960 people so close together, and one of them so young. Jemma went digging. 51 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,479 She found the ring belongs to a lady named Hannah Hand. She was 52 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,360 on Facebook, so on the name Hand in a group about her hometown. 53 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,159 She contacted the post author discovered he's married to Susan Girard, who's the great 54 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,919 great granddaughter of Hannah Hand. The ring was a family heirloom. The ring 55 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,360 is now back with the family. That's awesome. Are you having trouble sleeping? 56 00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:31,240 Maybe you're picking the wrong music. Previous research suggested that slower, low 57 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,439 tempo music with non danceable rhythms was most likely aid with sleep, but a 58 00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:42,120 new research study from the Arhus University in Denmark says June at all wrong. 59 00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:45,919 They found that upbeat, catchy pop songs might be better for you. They 60 00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:49,520 analyzed a total of two hundred and twenty five six hundred and twenty six songs 61 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,599 from nine hundred and eighty five playlists on Spotify that are associated with sleep. 62 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,800 They split the tracks in a six distinct subcategories. These subcategories aligned with typical 63 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:02,319 characteristics of sleep music slow, low tempo, acoustic, no lyrics. The 64 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,520 other three subcategories feature music faster and higher energy, such as Dynamite by betts 65 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,759 Cia Vibe. Jasperson, PhD, co author of the study, said it 66 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,680 was surprising to see the degree of variation within the music that people used for 67 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,360 sleep. Based on previous studies, we were expecting the music to be from 68 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,959 many different genres, but I hadn't anticipated that much variation. Doctor Michael Scullen 69 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,959 said music listening could serve as a distraction from internal thoughts and ruminations. It 70 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,920 could fill your head with tunes rather than your worries.
