00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:10,199
Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:13,199
good news stories. A simple childhood experiment turned into something

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,919
out of a storybook after a message in a bottle

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,559
traveled more than four thousand miles across the Atlantic. Amy

5
00:00:19,559 --> 00:00:22,079
and her ten year old son Lorenzo tossed a message

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,760
in a bottle from their hometown and Fort Old Bay.

7
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:27,039
Amy said, when we first threw it in, we were

8
00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:29,000
excited to imagine what might become of the bottle and

9
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:30,839
where would go. In my adult mind, I knew it

10
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:34,359
was highly unlikely to be found. Lorenzo the boy, included

11
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:37,520
a few details on the note, including their What's app numbers,

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,920
the date, and their location. They had it out on

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,039
a jet ski and threw the bottle into the ocean.

14
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:44,600
They forgot about it. A year later, it showed up

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,399
in Portugal. Maria, the schoolteacher, was walking her dog. It

16
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:52,039
seems everybody finds these things while walking dogs. At first,

17
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:55,039
she assumed it must be local because it said twenty

18
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:56,679
twenty five. It was so new I thought it was

19
00:00:56,679 --> 00:00:59,359
from the area. But then she realized how far it

20
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:01,759
had traveled. It was from the Bahamas and a year

21
00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:04,319
had passed. Maria called the number. Back in the Bahamas,

22
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:06,159
Amy was getting ready for her bed. The phone lit

23
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:08,400
up with a call from Portugal. She ignored it, but

24
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:10,879
then a message came through with a photo. It was

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,879
somebody saying I got your bottle. She recognized Lorenzo's handwriting

26
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:17,480
in the photo. She shouted upstairs at the boy, someone

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,799
found our bottle. It had been so long. He didn't

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,480
know what she was talking about. Amy said, I started

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,840
to communicate with Maria, and she sent voice notes and videos,

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,480
and very quickly I realized this woman was kind and lovely.

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,840
I never thought it'd be found, let alone almost to

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,200
the year exactly, let alone go so far, and also

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,400
to be found by the perfect person. A missing page

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,640
from one of the most important scientific manuscripts in history,

35
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,680
containing the work of Archimedes, has been rediscovered at a

36
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,879
French museum. Victor identified the page. She recognized it as

37
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:51,560
a long lost leaf from Archimedes. The medieval manuscript preserves

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,159
some of the greatest mathematical work of antiquity. It's from

39
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:59,359
archimedes Treatise on the Sphere and the Cylinder, specifically Propositions

40
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:01,799
thirty nine through forty one. Much of the writing is

41
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:04,319
still legible. One side of the page includes Greek prayers

42
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,359
layered over faint geometric designs, while the other side has

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,800
a much later illustration of the profit Daniel with two

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,960
lions beneath that artwork. Scientists believe more of Archimedes' original

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,240
text still exists, but is currently invisible to the naked eye.

46
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,599
To uncover it, researchers or planning advanced imaging techniques including

47
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:25,120
X ray and multi spectral analysis. The original works of Archimedes,

48
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:27,639
who lived between two eighty seven and two twelve BC,

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,360
were copied into a codex around nine fifty a d.

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,680
The manuscript itself traveled to a monastery in Palestine ahead

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,800
of the twenty four sack of Constantinople. It was photographed

52
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,719
in the early nineteen hundreds and later partially lost due

53
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:46,199
to complications from World War One. The newly rediscovered page

54
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,319
is believed to be one that went missing around nineteen

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,199
twenty two before ending up in a private French collection,

56
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:54,879
where it remained unnoticed until now. Good news for hedgehogs,

57
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:57,360
scientists may have found an unexpected way to help save

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,479
you guys from extinction. Researchers at the U S University

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,199
of Oxford to have noticed that European hedgehogs can hear

60
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,840
ultrasonic frequencies up to eighty five thousand hertz, far beyond

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,400
what humans can. You humans can only hear to about

62
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:12,719
twenty thousand hertz. The eighty five thousand is even higher

63
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:15,520
than dogs or cats. Now here's the deal. One of

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,960
the biggest threats to hedgehogs today are cars. Researchers are

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,960
now exploring whether ultrasonic sound admitters could be installed on cars, lawnmowers,

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,319
and other equipment. The idea is simple, amid a high

67
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:28,520
frequency warning sound that humans can hear but hedgehogs can.

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,199
In Tennessee, a routine food delivery turned into a life

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,520
changing moment for an elderly man. A viral video has

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,840
helped to raise one million dollars so the man can

71
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:42,520
finally retire. Brittany notice something a little a typical when

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,280
she checked the doorbell camera and saw an older DoorDash driver.

73
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,199
He's Richard. Richard was making his way up her steps,

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,280
gripping the handrail for support. She said, this poor guy

75
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:55,159
is struggling to get up my stairs to deliver my

76
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,639
very capable daughter her Starbucks. She tried to leave a

77
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,240
big tip, but the apple to allow it, so instead

78
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:03,520
she posted the video from her ring camera on social media,

79
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,800
hoping somebody might recognize the man. It didn't take long.

80
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,360
Somebody on Facebook said that's Richard. She went to his

81
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,039
house and gave him a two hundred dollars tip. Richard

82
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:13,080
explained why he was still working. His wife had lost

83
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,280
her job, their savings drained by expenses, and they were

84
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,439
struggling to afford a medication. She launched a GoFundMe and

85
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:23,639
went viral. It eventually reached nine hundred and forty thousand dollars,

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,680
fueled by thirty two thousand individual contributions. She said Richard

87
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,759
has not slept in two days because he can't quit

88
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,480
watching the GoFundMe. If you're of a certain age, you

89
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,920
recognize the phone number eight six seven five three oh nine, right,

90
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,160
you know that one? If you're younger, there was a

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,240
hit song in nineteen eighty one with the title eight

92
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,920
six seven five three oh nine. Well, now if you

93
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,839
call that number, which people of a certain age have memorized,

94
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,639
it connects callers to the nonprofit cancer Support Community, and

95
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,040
there you can receive free guidance, information and emotional support.

96
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:58,920
Tommy Heath aka Tommy twotone, singer of eight six seventy

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,360
five three oh nine, said the idea it came for

98
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,439
witnessing how widespread and personal cancer has become in his life.

99
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,720
He said, I have some family members who are struggling

100
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,160
with cancer. I'm out on tour with a lot of

101
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,000
bands and suddenly somebody's not there. When somebody's depressed and confused,

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,199
they'll go, hey, I'll call eight six seven five three

103
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,160
oh nine. Somebody's waiting there to help me, and I

104
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,759
hope they smile at that point. Specifically, you need the
