00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, can I interest you in some

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,160
used diapers? Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories.

3
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,879
All right, this is what's going on in Japan. They've

4
00:00:17,879 --> 00:00:21,160
taken on one of the least glamorous waste problems imaginable,

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,600
used diapers, and instead of bearing them, they're turning them

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,160
into new diapers. All right. They realized the landfill was

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,000
going to run out of space, so they figured out,

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,039
we got to recycle these things. These days, those towns

9
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:37,640
recycle about eighty percent of household waste, including diapers. Residents

10
00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:41,320
separate and labeled diaper waste, which is then collected, washed, shredded,

11
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:43,560
and broken down to its core components. The pulp gets

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,840
sterilized using ozone gas, basically being deep clean to the

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,920
point where it meets strict hygiene standards and can now

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,840
be reused to make new diapers. They're also using it

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,280
for things like toilet papers, So think about what you're

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,000
doing next time you're using toilet paper. It may have

17
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:01,200
been a used diaper. Wees thought the pain in his

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,719
leg was another chapter in a long battle with MS.

19
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:06,159
He's forty five, had been dealing with symptoms for years.

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,200
Including losing his vision in his early twenties, he was

21
00:01:09,239 --> 00:01:11,959
matched with a guide dog, a black lab named Jerry.

22
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:15,439
Jerry had helped him navigate the world, boosted his confidence

23
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:18,120
and pulled him out of isolation. Then Jerry started doing

24
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:21,599
something unusual. He kept pressing his chin against Luis's left leg,

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,280
not once, not casually, but persistently. Luis and his wife

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,000
decided to go to the hospital. There, doctors discovered he

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,439
had deep veigned thrombosis, a potentially life threatening blood clot

28
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:34,359
in the exact spot Jerry the Dog had been focused on.

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,799
Wow In Boston, horror fans turned Boston into a scene

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,280
straight out of a slasher movie on purpose. It was

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,599
at the Packs East Expo. Organizers gathered tuner in fifty

32
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:47,480
four people dressed as Michael Myers to set a new

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,120
Guinness World Record title for largest group portraying Michael Myers.

34
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:53,359
The event was tied to the unveiling of a new

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,760
video game based on the Halloween franchise. Participants showed up

36
00:01:56,799 --> 00:01:59,400
in the character signature look blue coveralls and the White

37
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:02,319
Mask which, by the way, the white mask is based

38
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:06,200
on a likeness of William Shanner. That's true trivia. There

39
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:09,400
five friends from California have been running one of the longest,

40
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:13,000
simplest social experiments imaginable. They stand in the same spot

41
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:15,000
and take the same photo and see what happens. It

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,400
started in nineteen eighty two, John Mark, Dallas, Different John

43
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:22,479
and Jaded took a casual snapshot. They were at the

44
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:25,759
family cabin on Copco Lake near the Oregon border. No plan,

45
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,759
just guys taking a photo. Five years later, they did

46
00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:31,360
it again. By nineteen ninety seven, they realized that what

47
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:34,240
they had started and they made it official. And they've

48
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:36,879
kept doing it in nineteen eighty two, eighty seven, ninety two,

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,919
ninety seven, two seven, twenty twelve, twenty seventeen, twenty twenty two.

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,439
And guess what's coming up soon? Same lineup, same lake,

51
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,439
same general vibe, a little more gray hair. There's even

52
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:50,520
a recurring prop. It's a jar that originally contained a

53
00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:53,120
roach they caught on the first trip that somehow became

54
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:56,639
the unofficial mascot. We'll check back with them next year.

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,360
And congratulations to Sugar the Sugar the dove officially recognized

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,360
as the oldest dove living in capacity at forty four

57
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:08,639
years seventy two days Most doves in captivity live around

58
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:12,599
twenty years. Duane has lived with Sugar since the day

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,879
Sugar hatched. Sugar even had a mate, Rose, Rose passed

60
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:18,599
away way back in nineteen ninety six, which means Sugar

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,439
has been carrying on solo longer than some people's entire

62
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:26,639
adult lives. Sugar likes to watch TV on the family couch. Interesting,

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,879
the previous record holder was a bird named Methuselah. Sugar

64
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,560
has beat the previous record by fifteen years. And those

65
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,400
are your five good news stories for today.
