Jermaine Bell was saving up to go to Disney World for his birthday. But as Hurricane Dorian approached, the 6-year-old decided he wanted to use the money elsewhere.The South Carolina boy saw people starting to evacuate because of Hurricane Dorian and decided they needed to be fed — and he would be the one to do it."The people that are traveling to go to places, I wanted them to have some food to eat, so they can enjoy the ride to the place that they’re going to stay at,” Jermaine 497

In a town on the Puget Sound of Washington, Mario Rivera makes his way down to the secluded beach in his backyard. "We have to walk a little bit to get to it," he says.Rivera walks along the beach to an adult male gray whale decomposing on his property."40 feet long… we named it Gunther," Rivera says, pointing to the rotting whale.Gunther is one of 30 gray whales that have washed up dead on the shores of Washington so far this year. If you include Alaska, Oregon and California, that number jumps to 81 and counting.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is calling the phenomenon an unusual mortality event, and there's simply not enough storage space for these massive decomposing animals."This whale got stranded about three or four miles down there," Rivera explains.Homeowners in the area weren't too happy about where Gunther landed naturally, so the Marine Mammal Stranding Network had to find somewhere else to designate as his final resting place."My wife and I just looked at each other and said 'Hey, let's take it to our property,'" Rivera says.With permission from their one neighbor, Rivera and his wife were the first to volunteer their property as a place for the whale to decompose.They were the start of a movement as NOAA says 15 more have volunteered since. It's an unexpected response considering the scent of a decomposing whale is far from pleasant."It smells like a rotting whale," Rivera explains.He says the stench comes and goes with the hot temps and wind, but he's been covering it in lime to help, and he says the pungent smell will likely go away after a month. What's more important, is that Gunther has given Rivera and scientists an opportunity to study why so many whales may be dying."When we opened him up, we found nothing but eel grass. And eel grass isn't part of their diet. This whale was what we call desperation feeding," Rivera says.John Calambokidis has been studying whales along the West Coast for 35 years. He's a research biologist with Cascadia Research. Calambokidis says the malnourished state of Gunther was very similar to what they've been seeing with other dying whales."Most of these whales have shown up very thin and emaciated--very little oil or fat in their blubber layer, which suggests they didn't get enough to feed last year," Calambokidis says.Gray whales spend the summers feeding in the Arctic and then migrate south near Mexico for the winter. All the whale strandings show some aren't making it through their normal seasonal fasting as they migrate back north along the West Coast in the spring. Calambokidis says it still isn't 100 percent clear why so many whales are dying, but he thinks its at least due in part to food supply not being able to meet the demand of the West Coast's growing whale population."Most recent estimate was 27,000 gray whales in this population," Calambokidis says.Research biologists have seen this trend once before back in 1999 and 2000. The theories were the same, and gray whales have made a comeback in the following decades. But now, scientists are questioning whether warming waters is also playing a role."We're not yet alarmed about this in the sense that we've seen something like this before and they've recovered from it. But we really do want to understand what's going on," Calambokidis says. "Particularly since there have been such dramatic changes in the arctic ecosystem. Making sure there isn't also a climate change element to this that could suggest a longer-term pattern we need to be more concerned about."According to Calambokidis, waters are warmer, and ice cover has dramatically been reduced, changing the dynamics of the ecosystem and how whales reach their prey.Part of their job as research biologists is to learn if there's more to the story. Calambokidis says they study each carcass searching the tissues for disease or contaminants. But for now, the main issue is dealing with the abundance of dead whales. And Rivera is happy he's been a part of the solution."This one couple volunteering this has prompted NOAA to think well maybe there are other people that would be interested in this, and [they can] kind of explore this as a new direction," Calambokidis says.*********************If you'd like to reach out to the journalist of this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 4342

In a new post on its website, the Federal Trade Commission is reminding people there is an act that allows them to share a truthful experience and opinion online, and that forms signed agreeing not to do so are invalid."Whether your summer plans include replacing your air conditioning, installing new flooring, or riding the range, you will probably read 368

In a move widely expected to revive the national media spotlight on hate crime allegations made by "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, a Chicago judge on Friday announced the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate how local prosecutors handled the TV actor's case.In announcing his choice of former US Attorney Dan K. Webb as the special prosecutor, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Michael Toomin now gives an independent, experienced trial attorney the authority and time to examine why Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx dropped 16 disorderly conduct charges against Smollett after a high-profile Chicago Police investigation that lasted several weeks using dozens of investigators.Webb will have authority to file new charges, if deemed appropriate, against Smollett following his investigation.The gay black actor claimed in January that he was the victim of a hate-fueled attack, but police in February claimed Smollett staged it.Smollett, 36, was indicted on 16 felony counts but prosecutors 1021

In recent years, the recycling industry has taken a big hit.John Griffith with GFL Environmental in Denver, Colorado says the cost to recycle has gone up, and there’s more pressure to make sure what’s being recycled isn’t contaminated with trash.“We process probably 30 tons an hour,” Griffith said.Considering how much material the recycling facility takes in per day, low-cost efficiency is key, and technology has become its saving grace.“We’re using robotics and artificial intelligence to help deal with some of the primary challenges within the recycling facility,” AMP Robotics CEO Matanya Horowitz said.Created by AMP Robotics founder Matanya Horowitz, AMP Cortex is a high-speed robotics system guided by artificial intelligence.Here’s how it works: the brains and the eyes of the robot are at the top. As material passes below, its smart vision is able to pick out specific items to take out of the stream. Using its light-weight arms and rapid speed, a suction cup picks those objects up, and moves them to a different bin.“It’s very similar to just taking a vacuum cleaner you might have at home and putting it against a can and picking it up that way,” Horowitz said.The robot’s “smart vision” means it’s always learning new information. “This vision system is also connected with all the other robots across the country. So as one robot learns in a different part of the country or a different region, it also educates all the other robots so they’re constantly getting smarter,” Griffith said.However, the robot doesn’t work alone.“You could say these are the co-workers of our robot,” Griffith said as he passed human workers.Humans are still needed in the recycling process, but the robot has been able to take on sorting challenges that would otherwise be unsafe for people.“For obvious reasons, they don’t really mind getting stuck with hypodermic needles, or sifting through all the nasty stuff that ends up in the recycling like diapers, and so we can help move the manual sorter further away from these hazards,” Horowitz said.The robot at GFL Environmental is focusing its efforts on picking out items like milk jugs, coffee cups and margarine tubs. The materials were formerly considered trash, but now they can be put to valuable use and sold somewhere as another recyclable.“Our goal is to maximize the breadth of the recycling program, and by doing so, divert as much waste from the landfills into valuable purposes as possible,” Griffith said.Thanks to the robots, GFL Environmental is one of the first in the nation to recycle coffee cups. As more robots continue to deploy across the country, it’s clear artificial intelligence is helping to transform the recycling industry. Matanya says they’re efficient workers, but they’re also providing more transparency and data in the industry that has been historically difficult to obtain until now.“There hasn’t really been a sensor, or any means of automatically detecting how well things are working, where things are breaking down, where materials are ending up in the wrong spot. Artificial intelligence can do all that,” Horowitz said. 3127
