00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hi, there, Shanny Mack with five good

2
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,519
news stories. I'm laughing because I looked ahead to the

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,519
first story. Here, there's a candy shop in Tennessee and

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,519
they've got a problem. There's a repeat offender who keeps

5
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:22,519
breaking in. Yeah, it's a bear. The bear has broken

6
00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:26,160
in four times and ransacked the candy store. They reported

7
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:29,800
the bear to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the

8
00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:34,200
agency has confirmed an investigation is underway. The owners say

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,000
they're oping the bear could be safely relocated without harm.

10
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:40,479
You know. For now, the candy shop remains open and

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,280
the bear is at large in Wales. They're trying to

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,920
figure out what's going on. You see. Hundreds of old

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,520
shoes turned up during a beach clean up. Volunteers with

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,159
the Beach Academy discovered around two hundred Victorian style shoes

15
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:59,359
at loose souls while working on a rock pool restoration project.

16
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,000
The founders said the shoes were clearly old fashioned, featuring

17
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:06,599
distinctive shapes and hobnails in the soles. After the discovery,

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,400
local residents told volunteers, oh, yeah, shoes like that have

19
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:12,359
been shown up on the coast for years. There are

20
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:16,120
two theories. One traces the shoes back to the shipwreck

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,000
of the frolic, a cargo vessel that ran aground in

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,400
the nineteenth century while traveling from Italy. That kind of

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,400
make sense, even though it's been more than five minutes.

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,439
According to that theory, the shoes sometimes show up because

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,159
of erosion. The second theory suggests the shoes were dumped

26
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:35,159
much later, possibly in the nineteen sixties, when cobblers just

27
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:37,480
were like, eh, we're done with these and threw them out.

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,640
I like the first theory a little bit better. Meanwhile,

29
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,120
as prices for recycled paper, plastic, and aluminum go up,

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,120
waste management companies are finding that AI sorting systems are

31
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:52,519
helping them get some good returns. Republic Services has installed

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,959
AI powered robotic sorders in about one third of their

33
00:01:55,959 --> 00:02:00,159
recycling facilities. Those ais are trained on thousands of variations

34
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:02,719
of common waste items, allowing them to make thousands of

35
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:06,239
sorting decisions per minute based on quality, condition, and material composition.

36
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:09,639
Using robot arms and bursts of air, the machine's direct

37
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,960
materials into the correct recycling streams at high speed. The

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,719
chief technology officer said, there really is value in a

39
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:18,919
lot of recyclables and garbage. The bram has been the

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,960
cost of pulling those materials out. In Rome, they're really

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,439
struggling with over tourism. They keep trying to figure out

42
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:27,560
how to keep the crowds down while the Colisseum Archaeological

43
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,520
Park is opening up virtual access to the House of Griffins.

44
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,879
The House of Gryffins is an elite Roman residence that

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,719
has long been documented but never open to the public.

46
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,199
The House of Griffins takes its name from a pair

47
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,599
of white stucco griffins decorating an interior portico. The residents

48
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,520
once belonged to a patrician during the Republican era. Located

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,000
on Palatine Hill. Been there, It's pretty cool up there.

50
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:53,479
The structure was demolished and buried to make room for

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,000
the Palace of Emperor Domitian. However, burying all that preserved

52
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,560
the site to a pretty good degree. The floor to

53
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:04,639
ceiling frescoes and decorative elements survived largely intact. So what

54
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,080
they decided to do. Rather than open the site physically,

55
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:10,719
park officials are introducing guided virtual tours. A guide equipped

56
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:12,919
with a smartphone mounted on their head will walk through

57
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,719
the underground rooms, providing live narration up to twelve visitors

58
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:18,319
a time. We'll be able to watch the tour from

59
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,120
nearby vegetable above the site. Inside, colorful mosaics cover the floors,

60
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:26,879
frescoes line the walls. The deepest surviving chamber features green

61
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:31,120
marble floor tiles and even mirrors. If you enjoy this program,

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,800
one way you can support it is become a subscriber

63
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,280
to Plus. What you do is you go on Apple

64
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,560
Podcasts and when you're listening to the show, there'll be

65
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:41,159
a banner there it says uninterrupted listening. You click on that,

66
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:42,840
and then for five bucks a month you'll get this

67
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:46,120
show without those pesky commercials. And that same five bucks

68
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:48,960
also gets you commercial free versions of Palace Intrigue and

69
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:51,159
Daily Comedy News, which I host seven days a week,

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,439
and five daily Trivia Questions, and a bunch of other

71
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,159
things on the channel. So that's a great way to

72
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:58,400
do it, all, right, John, Why reolate for work this time? Well,

73
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:02,120
you see, Boss, I was there on Highway one fifty one.

74
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,159
It was like six fifteen in the morning, and this

75
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,360
truck hit the guardrail and it turned over and blocked

76
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,759
the road and littered the road with kegs of beer.

77
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,919
A spokesperson for a brewing company said the truck had

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,919
been carrying two hundred and sixty four half barrel kegs

79
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,560
destined for distributors. The roadway was closed off State Highway

80
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,399
twenty six for several hours while crews worked to remove

81
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:26,560
the beer. All the humans are okay. As for the beer,

82
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:29,680
I'm not sure. Those are your five good news stories

83
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,800
for today. Have an awesome day.
