Speaker 1: Caalaroka Shark Media. By there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. I don't know about you. I am
done with winter. Oh my well. A small town, Oregon
couldn't afford to properly clear the snow from its street,
so residents did what they had to do. They got naked.
That's right. A group of mostly middle aged and elderly
men and women volunteered to pose nude for a calendar
to raise money for the town of Lakeview. The photos
feature mister September he's a seventy two year old man
picking berries, and a seventy seven year old woman reclining
in a metal bathsub. She's the cover. Margo said, if
you take your clothes off, your face looks different. I
felt like the picture would be a better picture. Margo
presented the idea at a town council meeting during the summer.
The council was like, I don't know if anyone's going
to do that. Oh no, people did it. It's called
the Outback Naked Calendar. Good news if you're a coral reef.
If in the Great Barrier Reef, an AI powered robotic
assistant is helping the Australian Institute of Marine Science and
their researchers restore damaged coral reefs. The Deployment Guidance system
scans the seafloor defined sections with bleached reef segments, then
drops down coral larvae housed inside ceramic analogs specifically designed
to offer protection to juvenile coral while they grow to adulthood.
I was there in twenty fifteen. I think I caught
the last five minutes of the barrier reef before it
got bleached. Very fortunate to do. It was beautiful, so
I hope the scientists do figure that out. The Olympics
are coming up and accommodations are being designed with sustainability
in mind. Rather than building massive new complexes from scratch,
the IOC set each site is making use of existing
or temporary structures, limiting new construction and adapting the local
needs while still delivering the full Olympic Village experience. Main
Olympic Village in the heart of Milan will host both
Olympians and Paralympians. The site was once an abandoned railway
yard and it's been trans formed into six residential buildings
that will accommodate about fifteen hundred residents during the games.
After the Olympics wrap up, the village will be converted
into student housing, providing roughly seventeen hundred beds for local students.
About thirty percent of the apartments will be offered at
subsidized rates, going for about four hundred and thirty euros
a month. Not bad live in Milan, Sign me up.
It turns out the ocean is a lot noisier than
most of us realize. Scientists that the Fish Eye Collaborative
have developed a new underwater tool that pairs sound recording
with three hundred and sixty degree video. The technology allows
researchers to match specific sounds to the exact fish producing them.
For example, fish don't just swim around silently by vibrating
internal air sacks, rubbing their teeth and fin spines together,
and sometimes even forting. Think about that next time you're swimming.
Fish produce a wide range of sounds, including apparently farts, grunts, boops, clicks, hums,
and bubbling burps. If this show makes your day a

Boyle looks onto the camera and says, you, guys claim
there's an end of the Earth, Well, snap a picture,
send it to us, and you get the assets of
the company, all of it. The rules the photo must
show a visible physical edge of the planet, specifically describing
said edge as a quote infinite sheer, drop, abyssle, void
clouds cascading into infinity. They also clarify what does not
count as the edge of the Earth. Those examples include
a cliff top in Seattle, a cul de sac in Kansas,
or your buddy Dave legally changing his name to the edge,
