0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. I am so mad about this. I missed out on World Sleep Day. Why didn't you guys tell me this was a thing? Parently in Mexico City it was World Sleep Day. Hundreds of locals took a nap. Some participants wrapped themselves in bright orange blankets. Others listen to music on their phone as they slept. Menuel as a mariachi musician, and he said the idea struck a chord with him because he works long and irregular hours, often going to bed as the sun is coming up. He says, as a musician, I work at night. I rarely sleep well during the day. Sometimes all we get is a little nap. This is a surprisingly good news. A study finds that full recovery of choral reefs can happen within four years. Communities in Indonesia are working with Mares Sustainable Solutions to restore coral reefs in az Lang of the Universe City of Exeters says, we found that restored coral reefs can grow at the same speed as healthy coral reefs just four years after coral transplantation.
1:07 That means they provide lots of habitat for marine life and efficiently protect the adjacent island from wave energy and erosion. The speed of recovery we saw was incredible. We did not expect a full recovery of a ref framework production after only four years. So what they do is they transplant corals from one spot to another. They've added a network of sand coated steel structures to consolidate the rubble and offer a structure for transplanting coral fragments. Lank says, as is so often the case, there's no one size fits all solution, but we hope this positive example can be used as inspiration for other ref restoration projects around the world. This is cool. A builder was doing some work at Saint James Church in Belgium. He found a match box placed inside an ornament that hung from the ceiling. He opened the match box, he found a note detailing the poor work conditions that employees had to deal with back from nineteen forty one. The note was written by four men back then. The message said, when the ceiling will have to be painted again, will no longer be of this earth. We have to tell the following generations that we didn't have a happy life. We lived through two wars, one in nineteen fourteen one in nineteen forty, and that counts for something. Huh, that's not me being a whimsical there, that's how they phrased it. We're working here nearly starving from hunger, de extorts for mere sense, for almost no food at all. I advise the next generations for when another war comes along, have a sufficient amount of food and excess like rice, coffee, flower, tobacco, greens, wheat, to keep you live joy life to the fullest.
2:34 And if necessary, take another wife the ones who are married. Look after your home. Social media user said, puts things into perspective when everybody was complaining about twenty twenty. Another user wrote, what a beautiful story, and a third said, so hoard food and find a mate, different circumstances, same advice. Good news out of Chernobyl, I know, right, Yeah, it is the most radioactive landscape on Earth. However, they found a worm that's helping with cancer research. Researchers from New York University has found that exposure to chronic radiation from Chernobyl has not damaged some microscopic worms living there. One of the researchers says Chernobyl was a tragedy of incomprehensible scale, and we still don't have a great grasp on the effects of the disaster. Did these sudden environmental shifts select for species or even individuals within species that are naturally more resistant to ionizing radiation? Researchers say it doesn't mean the Chernobyl's safe. It more likely means that these worms are really resilient animals. They're using this to study why different individuals are more likely than others to suffer the effects of carcinogens.
3:39 This will help researchers figure out why some humans have a genetic predisposition to cancer while others do not. All right, those last two stories were a little dark, I get it. How about this? A man has ordered the biggest bacon roll with fifty one slashes of bacon and twenty nine hundred calories. I'm surprised it's only twenty nine hundred calories. Craig went to the store and he wanted a meaty breakfast. He got the staff to put fifty one slices of bacon on a soft roll. This was in the UK. It cost nearly seventeen pounds. The sandwich was so big it had to be served in a donut box. He realized though, that his eyes were bigger than his stomach, admitting that the bacon absolutely destroyed me and he didn't eat for a few days. He wasn't able to finish it. He shared the rest with his partner Rochelle and the three kids. He explains, I was asking for more and more bacon, and she just kept saying yes. The box was meant to fit six donuts. That'll give you a sense of how big this is, but it only fit the one bacon sandwich. Wow. Those are you five good news stories for today. Enjoy your breakfast and if you like the program, tell a friend about it. They may like it too, and you could share it on social media. Please that'll help grow the show. And you have an awesome day.
