A toilet inside your car - and it's voice activated!

0:03 Caloroka Shark Media. Oh boy, here's one for you. A Chinese automaker has patented a toilet designed for use inside your car, and as if that's not enough, it's a voice activated toilet. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your five good news stories. Here to tell you about patent number c N two two four one zero four zero one one U. The design features a toilet that slides out from beneath the passenger seat and is activated by a voice command. Well, what about the poor driver. The system is intended to satisfy user toilet needs on long journeys, while camping or while staying in the car. Waste to store.

A new study suggests that soaking in a hot tub may deliver significant health benefits. That that's good news if you're me. Researchers at the University of Oregon compared three types of passive heat therapy. They are hot water immersion, traditional dry saunas, and far infrared saunas. They did that in a controlled study. Jessica led the study and said we compared the most commonly used modalities of passive heating as they're used in everyday life and studied in scientific research. They studied twenty healthy adults between ages twenty and twenty eight, measuring body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, blood flow, immune response, and inflammation before, during, and after each type of heat exposure. Researchers found that hot water immersion produced the greatest increase in core body temperature.

Professor Minsen has studied heat therapies for more than twenty years. The professor said, there's no doubt in my mind that if people are willing to do some heat therapy, it's going to align with improved health as long as it's done in moderation. I think this is smart. In Chicago, they have expanded a per program that turns public school ideas into library cards. That's really smart. In twenty twenty two, the Chicago Public Schools launched the initiative to see if simplifying access would encourage more students to use the library. The program is known as the eighty one Club. The eighty one means you can use all eighty one branches of the Chicago Public Library. During the pilot phase, library usage increased by sixty three percent. One of the organizers, Brandon, said, with this expansion, every student, no matter their zip code, school enrollment, or other age, will have access to library cards and programs and resources that make their lives more enriched. Archaeologists have recovered more than twelve hundred artifacts from a two thousand year old shipwreck discovered at the bottom of a Swiss lake. The team with the Octopus Foundation believes the cargo came from a Roman era merchant vessel transporting supplies.

2:50 Among those supplies pottery, tools, weapons, and components of a horse drawn transport like a chariot and wheels. They also found three swords still preserved inside its scabbard. The archaeologists think they were likely headed to a Roman military camp somewhere around sixteen to forty five AD. The discovery was first identified through drone surveys of the lake bed. Then there were concerns about looting, so officials moved to quickly recover the artifacts. They will be eventually displayed at a regional archaeology museum. And I'll leave you with this one. Police in Ohio were asked to conduct a welfare check. A ninety one year old woman hadn't been responding to anybody, so the police showed up. They were concerned. There was no answer at the door, and the woman's car was in the garage, so the officers entered the home and they found the woman in her bedroom playing a video game, specifically Bubble Pop. She explained that she didn't answer the door she was trying to beat her high score. PD Captain Vogel said turned out to be okay. Everybody got a good laugh out of it. And those are your five good news stories for today. Have a great day.
