1
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:08.960
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mac
with five good news stories. Hey,
2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.320
good news. Phoebe the border collie. Phoebe is no longer afraid of cats.
3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.559
Yeah, apparently. When Phoebe was
adopted, she was a timid and
4
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:21.079
scared puppy, afraid of anything new, including cats. To help her overcome
5
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:25.039
her fear of cats, her owner
started fostering kittens. The owner's thought process
6
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.760
was that should be less nervous around
little ones. However, Phoebe was still
7
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.799
scared of five year old kittens.
Aki. The owners said, we did
8
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.520
a slow and positive introduction. Within
a week, she decided she was going
9
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.880
to be their mama dog. The
transformation was incredible, from a growling dog
10
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.320
to giving them her fluffy tummy to
sleep in. She loves all the kittens
11
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.880
differently, but equally, she said
on social media. Each dog has a
12
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.039
gift. Some become working dogs,
your personal comfort dog, your protector,
13
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.799
or simply your best friend. Phoebe
has found her calling as a nanny dog.
14
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.960
Hey good news. If you like
frogs but don't like the sound,
15
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.280
researchers have found a new kind of
frog. I mean the frogs not new.
16
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.719
It existed, we just hadn't founded
before. The small, silent,
17
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.359
spiny throated reed frog does not croak, does not chirp, does not sing,
18
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.519
does not rib it. Lucina Lawson
is a conservation biologist and said it's
19
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.840
a very odd group of frogs.
You see, frogs typically use sounds to
20
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.920
attract to meat, but the males
of this species, they have tiny spines
21
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.879
on their throats. Lawson said.
The male frogs don't call like most other
22
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.319
frogs do. We think they may
use the spine as something like brail for
23
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.519
species recognition. Without a call,
they need some other way to recognize each
24
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.760
other. It's as if the frogs
have learned how to text, Hey,
25
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.239
good news. If you didn't get
enough sleep, an expert's got some good
26
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.760
breen foods to eat after a night
of little sleep. So it's like a
27
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.079
hangover cure, except for sleep,
you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
28
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.040
how about dark chocolate. Dark chocolate
contains high amounts of cacao, which is
29
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.040
responsible for boosting your energy as well
as increasing your focus to be able to
30
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.439
get all the task done at work. It's also filled with antioxidants such as
31
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.640
magnesium, which is, as you
know, linked to numerous health benefits,
32
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.359
including fewer migraines and lowering high blood
pressure. You could also try chia seeds,
33
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.439
also high in magnesium, which helps
to fight extreme fatigue and high stress
34
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:12.159
levels. Staying hydrated makes you feel
more alert. Chia seeds help your body
35
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.039
retain water. The experts suggest throw
them in a smoothie or your yogurt,
36
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.240
or even mix them into a salad. Avocados another food packed with healthy fats
37
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.159
and pantassium which helps present fatigue,
and they add plus it tastes amazing on
38
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.560
toast a bagel or does a lunchtime
or fueling treat. None of that floating
39
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:34.039
your boat. Oranges high in vitamin
C. They contain natural sugar that gets
40
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.280
converted into glucose that gives your body
fuel. Even consuming orange juice instead of
41
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.080
eating an actual orange can boost your
memory and mental ability for the day.
42
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.879
This next story is way cool.
After a groundbreaking treatment, researchers have announced
43
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.840
that a fifty ye year old man
in Germany has officially been cured of HIV.
44
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.199
The man is being referred to as
the Dusseldorff patient to protect his privacy.
45
00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:00.120
He's the fifth person to have a
confirmed cured case of HIV researchers announced
46
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.520
he has no detectable virus in his
body even after stopping his HIV medication four
47
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.120
years ago. He joins four others
globally who underwent stem cell transplants for blood
48
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.159
cancer treatment, which included rare genetic
mutations that carry a resistance to HIV.

right place. You can listen to
friends and fiction on any major streaming platform.
62
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.399
And why yes, that was a
pony at the supermarket. I know
63
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.639
you were at the supermarket and you're
just doing your stuff, grabbing an orange
64
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.120
and avocado, some seeds and some
dark chocolate. Totally get it. And
65
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.439
then a pony walked by. You're
like, hmm, is that a pony?
66
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.279
Why yes? This happened in a
Tesco superstore in Cardiff. The pony
67
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.120
was spotted in the clothing section.
It wandered around the store for a couple
68
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.040
of minutes and then the staff was
able to convince it to leave. How
69
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:58.759
it got there who knows, but
the article says the pony bypass the carrots
70
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.040
to check out the baby food section
and then went and checked out the clothes
71
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.240
Where it's from where it went?
I don't know, but I'm laughing and

Hey good news. If you like

15
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.280
researchers have found a new kind of

Tesco superstore in Cardiff. The pony
67
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.120
was spotted in the clothing section.
It wandered around the store for a couple
68
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.040
of minutes and then the staff was
able to convince it to leave. How
69
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:58.759
it got there who knows, but
the article says the pony bypass the carrots
70
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.040
to check out the baby food section
and then went and checked out the clothes
71
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.240
