Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caloroka Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. Bad story to begin with, but it
ends kind of okay. A two year old shitsu named
Rex dashed into a bar when the dog ran in
during a soccer game. Dan, the manager, took the puppy,
(00:26):
took him to the vet to see if he was
okay and find out where he had come from. Dan
was shocked to learn that Rex's owner had passed away.
He now lives at the bar. Dan says, he's been great.
All the customers love him. They even buy him presents.
He loves attention, he loves treats. He's so spoiled. If
we have takeaway, he has takeaway. If we have roast dinner,
he has roast dinner. When we first took on new
this period it was difficult. You're trying to run a business,
(00:46):
there's a dog running around the place. It could be tough.
But now he likes to sit down at chill. It's
like he's found his home. Now. He's well trained and
we're self thrilled to have him with us. He sits
and waits people to come in and inspects them. We
don't know how he knows which guess are up to
know good, but he's usually right. He's a well behaved dog,
but I think he needs a girlfriend. Good news, seventy
is the new sixty. Scientists have figured out that age
(01:06):
related to clients experienced by older adults have significantly slowed down,
according to a new study from Nature Aging. They attribute
this to improvements in education, nutrition, and sanitation across the
twentieth century. Professor John Beard of Columbia University said, for example,
a sixty eight year old born in nineteen fifty had
a similar capacity to a sixty two year old born
(01:28):
a decade earlier. Those born in nineteen forty had better
functioning than those born in nineteen thirty or twenty. If
we had compared someone born in nineteen fifty with someone
born in nineteen twenty, would have likely observed even greater improvements.
But there's nothing to say we'll continue to see the
same improvements moving forward, and changes such as the increasing
prevalence of obesity might even see those trends reverse. But overall,
(01:50):
trends were very strong and suggest that for many people,
seventy really may be the new sixty. Remember those horrible
fires earlier this year. While the Wildlife Conservacy is doing
a cancer study based on firefighters who battled the Palisades fire.
The goal is to track how the extreme conditions increased
the firefighter's risk of cancer. Doctor Matt Ron is the
(02:11):
executive director of the Conservatory and says this is the
equivalent of a nine to eleven scale exposure incident, and
we need to start treating them like this. The firefighters
who battled the Palisades blaze were exposed to hazardous substances
like carbon monoxide and heavy metals. Those can lead to cancer.
Ron said, this isn't just a wild fire where vegetation
is burning. This is, you know, thousands of homes a
(02:32):
contamination event. Fifty participating firefighters had their blood drawn, provided
a year ine sample, and shared personal details. Researchers hope
to turn their work into a multi generational study and
see if there can be improvement in firefighter protective gear,
precautions and interventions. Some volunteers have made a giant quilt
of one thousand blankets in memory of homeless people who
(02:54):
died in the cold. It's the Homeless Memorial Blanket Project.
They've been working on it for four years. Their goal
is to honor those who have lost their lives while
living on the street and advocate for future without homelessness.
After hundreds of blankets are collected, they're laid out on
a display for the public to see and learn more
about the safety risks of homelessness, like hypothermia, which takes
the lives of an estimated seven hundred un house people
(03:16):
in the US every year. If you're interested in joining
future homeless memorial blanket projects, you can go to their
Facebook group. In Wales, the Ambulance Service has given a
list of their most inappropriate calls to their nine to
nine to nine emergency number, so that's their version of
nine to one one here in the States. The Welsh
Ambulance Service said those included a finger stuck in a
(03:37):
beer bottle and a person whose pet alligator got loose
and probably got talked about on this program. The organization
said in twenty twenty four they got four hundred and
twenty six one hundred and sixteen calls. Of those, sixty
three eight hundred and thirty six, that's fifteen percent were
determined not to be life or death emergencies. One caller
called in with a chip tooth, another couldn't remove a
(03:59):
bracelet the alligator once said it got loose and I'm
scared to death. I don't like it. I think it's
under the sofa. Another caller said, I stuck my finger
in a plug socket. I didn't feel any effect, but
I'm ruling out if I electrocuted myself. One caller said
the cotton from the end of a Q tip was
stuck in someone's ear. Another said, I've got a question.
My general practitioner refuses to give me sleeping pills. How
(04:21):
do I get a hold of sleeping pills? This is
nine to one one they're calling or nine on nine.
Andy Swinburne is the executive director of Paramedicine and reminds
everyone our Emergency Amulus service exists for those whose life
is in imminent danger. That's people in cardiac arrests, those
with chest pains, breathing difficulties, loss of consciousness, choking, severe
allergic reactions, catastrophic bleeding, or someone having a stroke. It's
(04:43):
really important to apply common sense and make the right call.
Those are five news stories for today. If you would
