Speaker 1: Calaroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny mag with five
good news stories. Good news for Charlie. The cow was
kind of close Chorlie as a young black and white
cow with fluffy ears. He was raised through a local
four age program in Florida. Charlie had a good life
by livestock standards. He was raised by hand, trained to
be gentle brushed and groomed for competition, but at a
recent way in Charlie came in too skinny to continue
with the program, and in the livestock world that typically
means one thing, yeah, you know. However, Leslie is a
committed animal lover. She came across charlie situation on social
media in early March and started to do something about it.
She needed at least fifty five hundred dollars to buy
him out of the livestock trade and transport Charlie to
a sanctuary called Bell Family Farm in Polk City. She
named him Charlie after the two thousand and four hurricane, because,
as she put it, he was facing the biggest storm
of his life. She launched to go fundme, went hard
in social media, and then this is the best part.
She the cow. Some media appearances. Charlie showed up on
local TV stations in a morning radio show. He became
a local celebrity. By the end of March, she still
didn't have enough money, so she paid the difference out
of pocket herself, just to keep Charlie safe while she
kept fundraising. Late April, a woman named Sarah donated her
truck trailer in her own time to transport Charlie to
the Bell family farm. The Bells told local news charlie
stories remarkable. He managed to cross paths with all the
right humans in our incredible community. He would recognize his
unique worth. Charlie has an expected lifespan of another fifteen
to twenty years. The GoFundMe still open if you want
to contribute. This next story is one of the probably
one of the best that I feel like we've done
on this program. AI is detecting pancreatic cancer years before diagnosis.
I don't know if you know pancreatic cancer. That one
is nasty and quick. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have
developed an AI model that can detect early signs of
pancreatic cancer on CT scans up to three years before
patient would typically be diagnosed. That is amazing. Pancreatic cancer
as a five year survival rate of just thirteen percent.
Around eighty percent of patients aren't diagnosed until the disease
has reached an advanced stage. There's no routine screening for it.
The typical symptoms stomach pain, sudden weight loss usually don't
show up until the cancers already spread to other organs.
The Mayo Clinic team built their AI model by feeding
its CT scans from patients who had originally been screened
for other conditions and were later diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The result, the AI model was three times better than
human radiologists at identifying the early warning signs. This is fantastic.
In Australia, a group of high school girls were out hiking.
They were four days into the Duke of Edinburgh Award
hike through warm Bungle National Park. What a great name.
They came across a man named Thomas. Thomas had slipped
on the trail and broken his leg. He'd been struggling
for a while. A couple nurses had passed by wrapped
a bandage on it, but then he fell again. He
and his friend had no idea what to do next?
Then the girls showed up. Now. The Duke of Edinburgh
Award is an international program for young people built around
outdoor skills, physical challenges and volunteer service. These students trained
for exactly this kind of scenario. Boy, that's lucky. Outdo
our educators Amanda and Marty pointed out that the group
had practiced this same rescue situation a few years earlier
during an earlier hike. Marty said, when I called out
to the girls and told them our plan was to
help this gentleman, they were so excited. There were a
lot of comments like, wow, we've trained for this all right.
What did they do? They built a stretcher on the spot.
They used tarp poles and a hammock. Zephanie said, we
placed my hammock over the top. Then he laid down
on that and we all positioned ourselves on the outside.
Would count three seconds and lift them up together, then
would walk for sixty seconds, then rest for fifteen seconds
and rotate that kept that up for two hours. Wow,
Zephanie said, the patch just seemed to get longer and longer.
You don't realize how four three and a half kilometers
is until you're shuffling along carrying someone. Thomas said, I'll
never forget it. It absolutely means the world that they
were able to offer the assistance they did. Him forever
grateful for them. All Right, we have a new world record,
and this one was a five year old's idea. Joe
and Christelle took their son Axel to attempt to get
us world record most stairs descended by a slinky. Dad
said her sun axles at the age wherever they needs
to be the biggest, fastest or most extreme version of itself.
He recently discovered slinkies and knew how'd to attempt the record
before Sonactually he wanted to know the record for most
stairs to send him by a slinky. When we looked
it up, and so the existing record was thirty stairs,
it seemed beatable. Yeah, that seems really beatable. The family
selected a six inch rainbow slinky for the attempt. I
had that one, that's the plastic one. I like that one.
They set it down fifty three stairs, nearly double the
previous record. I feel like that's where like I feel
like I go to like a baseball stadium and do
like three hundred stairs at my delusional I probably am,
And then again, I'd rather the five year old have
the record than me. And good news for Greg the Frog.
You see, a man came home with a bag of lettuce.
Have you figured this out yet? The man opened the
bag of lettuce and in the lettuce was a frog,
luckily a live frog. His roommate Laura said, he's the
most casual guy ever. He's like, bro, I got a lettuce.
This is like a frog in my lettuce. Greg the
Frog was released into a local dam along with the lettuce.
The food market issued a statement calling this an isolated
incident and the situation's totally under investigation. I hope Greg
the frock is having a nice day. And those are
your five good news stories for today. You have a
good one.
