Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. I remember a few years ago. It
was twenty twenty three some jerks cut down the famous
Sycamore Gap tree. Well, now that's being turned into a
national art project, with the public playing a direct role
into decigning its legacy. Six artists and creative teams have
been shortlisted to transform the preserved wood into a major
public artwork, with the final piece expected to be completed
by twenty twenty eight. The tree, which stood beside Hadrian's Wallen,
was one of the most photographed in the UK, had
a lot of significance from many people. Annie Riley from
the National Trust said, over the past two years, we've
heard extraordinary stories about what the Sycamore Gap tree mented people,
from moments of celebration of milestones to quiet memories of loss,
connection and reflection. It became more than a tree. It
became part of the emotional landscape of the nation. The
wood has been stored and seasoned for twenty eight months
and is now ready to be used in the final artwork.
Riley said, we always wanted to make sure that the
tree had an extraordinary legacy. The vote is now the
opportunity for the public to help shape the ongoing story.
They'll announce the design very soon, looking forward to hearing
what that is. A new pair of AI powered glasses
is design to help people dementia live more independently, could
be available by twenty twenty seven. A company called cross
Sense says the glasses use an aisystem called wispy to
recognize objects, project labels onto the lenses, and provide audio
guidance for everyday tasks like getting dressed, making tea, or
managing household chores. The system is adaptive. It learns how
each individual completes task and a just as the condition progresses.
In trials, three out of four patients reported a significant
improvement in their quality of life. Carol is seventy years
old than one of the test users. Carol lives with dementia, said,
I thought it could be an amazing concept with the
potential to provide real, reliable support for people like me,
helping to compensate for the cognitive skills we gradually lose
as dementia progresses. A red fox pulled off an international
journey worthy of a movie. The Red Fire stowed away
in a cargo ship and traveled thirty four hundred miles
across the Atlantic from Southampton, England, to New York City.
The two year old male fox weighed around eleven pounds
and was discovered aboard a ship carrying automobiles that had
departed on February fourth and showed up in the Port
of New York on February eighteenth. The crew found the
red fox mid voyage. After arrival, US Customs and Border
Protection transferred the red Fox to the Bronx Zoo. Keith
is the Bronx Zoo Director of Animal program He said,
he seem as be settling again. Well, it's gone through
a lot. How the fox got on a cargo ship,
no one knows. Do you like fighting robots? Kind of interesting.
When Detroit's robo War took place in the back of
a church in a part of town dotted with industrial
lots and fast food stores, performers dressed as giant robots.
Art has founded both the church and the Interactive Combat League.
Art says, we have these nine foot tall metal gladiators
that shoot exploding projectiles at twenty rounds per second. The
show runs every few months. It's called robo War. Whart
says Detroit has more robots than any other place in America.
He does point out that the Robo War and the
Church are two separate enterprises. Robo War also features real robots,
some robot dogs, and some smaller humanoid robots that dance
had posed for pictures. At one point during the show,
there's a robot competing in a dance off against a
human at the live event. In the human verse robot
to dance off. Most people are rooting for the human
and in Sydney, some warehouse workers got a surprise they
noticed a large lace monitor lizard sleeping between palettes of
bar fridges. The lizard apparently made itself comfortable inside the warehouse.
Snake catcher Daniel was called in a remove of the lizard.
A shared video of the rescue pulling the sizeable male
lizard out from behind the palettes posted on social media.
He wrote, this big unit had been spotted a few
times now and got the order to move on today.
So if you're a lizard, maybe don't nap between commercial
refrigeration equipment palettes. So you're five new story short today.
I have an awesome day
