00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.119
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories.
2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.800
I am so mad about this.
I missed out on World Sleep Day.
3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.879
Why didn't you guys tell me this
was a thing? Parently in Mexico City
4
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:24.839
it was World Sleep Day. Hundreds
of locals took a nap. Some participants
5
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.079
wrapped themselves in bright orange blankets.
Others listen to music on their phone as
6
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:34.000
they slept. Menuel as a mariachi
musician, and he said the idea struck
7
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.679
a chord with him because he works
long and irregular hours, often going to
8
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:39.920
bed as the sun is coming up. He says, as a musician,
9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.200
I work at night. I rarely
sleep well during the day. Sometimes all
10
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.119
we get is a little nap.
This is a surprisingly good news. A
11
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:53.159
study finds that full recovery of choral
reefs can happen within four years. Communities
12
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:59.399
in Indonesia are working with Mares Sustainable
Solutions to restore coral reefs in az Lang
13
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.960
of the Universe City of Exeters says, we found that restored coral reefs can
14
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.560
grow at the same speed as healthy
coral reefs just four years after coral transplantation.
15
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.879
That means they provide lots of habitat
for marine life and efficiently protect the
16
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.120
adjacent island from wave energy and erosion. The speed of recovery we saw was
17
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.959
incredible. We did not expect a
full recovery of a ref framework production after
18
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.359
only four years. So what they
do is they transplant corals from one spot
19
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.000
to another. They've added a network
of sand coated steel structures to consolidate the
20
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.799
rubble and offer a structure for transplanting
coral fragments. Lank says, as is
21
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.040
so often the case, there's no
one size fits all solution, but we
22
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.680
hope this positive example can be used
as inspiration for other ref restoration projects around
23
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.239
the world. This is cool.
A builder was doing some work at Saint
24
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.319
James Church in Belgium. He found
a match box placed inside an ornament that
25
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.079
hung from the ceiling. He opened
the match box, he found a note
26
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:59.319
detailing the poor work conditions that employees
had to deal with back from nineteen forty
27
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.319
one. The note was written by
four men back then. The message said,
28
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.400
when the ceiling will have to be
painted again, will no longer be
29
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.319
of this earth. We have to
tell the following generations that we didn't have
30
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.560
a happy life. We lived through
two wars, one in nineteen fourteen one
31
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.599
in nineteen forty, and that counts
for something. Huh, that's not me
32
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.319
being a whimsical there, that's how
they phrased it. We're working here nearly
33
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.240
starving from hunger, de extorts for
mere sense, for almost no food at
34
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.280
all. I advise the next generations
for when another war comes along, have
35
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.759
a sufficient amount of food and excess
like rice, coffee, flower, tobacco,
36
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.840
greens, wheat, to keep you
live joy life to the fullest.
37
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.039
And if necessary, take another wife
the ones who are married. Look after
38
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:43.360
your home. Social media user said, puts things into perspective when everybody was
39
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.159
complaining about twenty twenty. Another user
wrote, what a beautiful story, and
40
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.439
a third said, so hoard food
and find a mate, different circumstances,
41
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.439
same advice. Good news out of
Chernobyl, I know, right, Yeah,
42
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.439
it is the most radioactive landscape on
Earth. However, they found a
43
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:07.080
worm that's helping with cancer research.
Researchers from New York University has found that
44
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:13.000
exposure to chronic radiation from Chernobyl has
not damaged some microscopic worms living there.
45
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.199
One of the researchers says Chernobyl was
a tragedy of incomprehensible scale, and we
46
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.520
still don't have a great grasp on
the effects of the disaster. Did these
47
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.400
sudden environmental shifts select for species or
even individuals within species that are naturally more
48
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.120
resistant to ionizing radiation? Researchers say
it doesn't mean the Chernobyl's safe. It
49
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.280
more likely means that these worms are
really resilient animals. They're using this to
50
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.879
study why different individuals are more likely
than others to suffer the effects of carcinogens.
51
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.520
This will help researchers figure out why
some humans have a genetic predisposition to
52
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.520
cancer while others do not. All
right, those last two stories were a
53
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.439
little dark, I get it.
How about this? A man has ordered
54
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:58.439
the biggest bacon roll with fifty one
slashes of bacon and twenty nine hundred calories.
55
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.280
I'm surprised it's only twenty nine hundred
calories. Craig went to the store
56
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.560
and he wanted a meaty breakfast.
He got the staff to put fifty one
57
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.120
slices of bacon on a soft roll. This was in the UK. It
58
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.159
cost nearly seventeen pounds. The sandwich
was so big it had to be served
59
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.800
in a donut box. He realized
though, that his eyes were bigger than
60
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:21.600
his stomach, admitting that the bacon
absolutely destroyed me and he didn't eat for
61
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.800
a few days. He wasn't able
to finish it. He shared the rest
62
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.800
with his partner Rochelle and the three
kids. He explains, I was asking
63
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.399
for more and more bacon, and
she just kept saying yes. The box
64
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.439
was meant to fit six donuts.
That'll give you a sense of how big
65
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:41.360
this is, but it only fit
the one bacon sandwich. Wow. Those
66
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.519
are you five good news stories for
today. Enjoy your breakfast and if you
67
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.720
like the program, tell a friend
about it. They may like it too,
68
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.759
and you could share it on social
media. Please that'll help grow the
69
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.759
show. And you have an awesome
day.
