Good News, the Loch Ness Monster moved to the Carolinas...or might just be an eel

Good News, the Loch Ness Monster moved to the Carolinas...or might just be an eel

Sightings of the Loch Ness Monster are down. Has she moved to the Carolinas?

And....are you a cat or just happy to see me?

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:09.279
The shark deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Good news.

2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.039
If you're afraid of the Lochness Monster, it's probably just a large eel.

3
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:17.399
Several theories have been forward over the
years. What could this Lockness Monster

4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.640
be? Could it be a dinosaur? Expert Flow Foxen says, over the

5
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.879
course of a few generations, an
eel one metered length might be expected.

6
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:29.320
Sightings of the Locknest Monster have dipped
interesting, especially now that we all have

7
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:35.600
cell phones. Lockness Monster hunter Ian
mcfaddigan says, I have no sightings report

8
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.439
this year so far. I think
the atmosphere conditions of later making an unsuitable

9
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.960
for NeSSI spotting. There's been so
much rain, wind and snow that it's

10
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.920
equally hard to spot NeSSI from webcam
or live at the loch. Meanwhile,

11
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.520
a snakelike sea creature that shares a
striking resemblance to the Locknest Monster has been

12
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.079
spotted in foreign waters. Maybe NeSSI
has moved away from Scotland somehow, leaving

13
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.000
the lake and getting to the wide
open ocean, freshwater, seawater. Don't

14
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.679
ask questions, just go with it. Some people say they saw Nessie off

15
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.879
the coast of North Carolina. Yeah, they caught a picture of the Lochness

16
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.959
monster with its head out of the
water off Atlantic Beach. Seems likely,

17
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.799
or maybe it's an eel. Hey, good news. If your cat headbuts

18
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.680
you, your cat actually likes you. Samantha is a scientific officer at the

19
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.359
RSPCA, and she said there are
number of ways or cats tell us that

20
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.040
they enjoy our company and feel safe
with us. Learning to read your cat's

21
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.120
body language is hugely beneficial as not
only because it'll show you how they feel

22
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.400
about you, but it will enable
you to spot signs of stress and understand

23
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.480
when they want to be left alone. They're cats, that's one hundred percent

24
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.159
of the time. No, if
your cat gives your headbuts, then it

25
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.159
means they're spreading their scent onto you. That's a good thing. They're marking

26
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.239
you as a friend rather than a
phone, ensuring that they remember that you're

27
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.760
part of their group, as scenting
is one of the main senses for a

28
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.920
cat. If your cat slowly blinks
at you or staring at you, it

29
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.280
also means they want to be pals. If you want to show them trust

30
00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.159
is reciprocated. Blink slowly back at
them and give them a kiss. Can

31
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.159
also check the tail. If it's
low and swishing, they might be stressed

32
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.239
or unhappy. If it's pointing upwards, they are happy to see you,

33
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.520
and I can't resist the joke.
Are you a cat? Or it is

34
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.120
happy to see me? Let's move
on. Good news, The four day

35
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.919
workweek is coming in the UK.
Dozens of companies tried out the four day

36
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:23.800
workweek. Who's an overwhelming success.
Ninety percent of the sixty one companies decided

37
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.680
to stick with the change. Friday
is off, babe. They even reported

38
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.319
a one point four percent increase in
revenue and a fifty seven percent decrease in

39
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:38.000
resignations. Here's the even more good
news. It's not four ten hour days,

40
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.599
it's eighty percent of the hours they
used to work one head of hr.

41
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.280
It's old Yahoo finance. It's not
a compressed working week. It's not

42
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.199
doing things the same way and doing
longer hours in the four days. We

43
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.879
believe that concept doesn't work and goes
against well being. Yeah, if you've

44
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.039
ever worked in an office, a
lot of time goes into how am I

45
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.520
going to kill the day until it's
five o'clock? If you need an example.

46
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.639
Watch the office and see how Jim
Helpert does all his work in one

47
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.240
hour a year and then just hangs
out with the receptionist. Good job by

48
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.240
twelve year old Amelia. She has
found that a nonprofit organization which provides nightlights

49
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:14.080
to children in the foster care system. Amelia, who's in the sixth grade,

50
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:15.199
said, sometimes foster kids have to
leave in the middle of the night

51
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.400
because of neglect, abuse, or
drugs. Having that night light makes it

52
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.280
more comfortable in a new house where
they might not know anybody and makes them

53
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.919
feel more safe. Back in twenty
eighteen, she raised enough money to donate

54
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.879
more than five hundred night lights to
foster kids across central Arkansas. Since then,

55
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.879
her nonprofit has extended its reach to
fifty US states and nine countries.

56
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.879
Amelia said, I couldn't imagine being
in a new home and being in the

57
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.680
darkness. Finding out I could help
foster kids and make my own place to

58
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.080
volunteer instead of having to go somewhere. It was really helpful because I could

59
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.560
really encourage other kids that they're never
too young to make a difference. The

60
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:54.960
organization has now sent more than fifteen
thousand lights to children. Wow I am

74
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:10.800
old Jeff Reats. He has broken
the Guinness Book of World Records record four

75
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:16.120
making consecutive visits to Disneyland. He
made two thousand, nine hundred ninety five

76
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.279
consecutive visits to Disneyland. He started
this back in twenty twelve as a joke

77
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:26.000
between his friends, but he got
addicted eight years, three months, thirteen

78
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.319
days visiting Disneyland Anaheim. He started
chronicling this on social media when the streak

79
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.920
was at sixty, but in twenty
seventeen, when he made his two thousandth

80
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.120
visit, he started to go viral. He told Guinness he started as a

81
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.480
joke between friends when Disneyland announced they
were giving an extra Disney Day. When

82
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.160
they announced the Leap Day twenty four
hour event in twenty twelve, he wanted

83
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.399
to hit three thousand, and Covid
got him. The streak was snapped on

84
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.959
March fourteenth, twenty twenty, when
the park shut down. On social media,

85
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.199
one fan road congrats dude, very
well earned and I bet you're secretly

86
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.519
