0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Washington Capital Store. Alex Ovechkin is adding even more good to his chase for wing Gretzky's NHL goals record. He announced the Greats Chase for Victory over Cancer Great spelled gr eight. He pledges to donate money for each goal he scores from now through the rest of his career to the V Foundation. The money's earmarked towards research for childhood cancer, with one hundred percent of the funds raised going to the cause. That's awesome. The plan is to donate an equal amount to his career goal total for every goal he sallies. So say, one day goal number nine hundred, he'll donate nine hundred dollars. Then if he gets goal nine oh one, he'll donate nine hundred and one dollars. You get how that works. Yeah, he says, I'm proud to join the V Foundation and support their efforts to fund life saving cancer research. Throughout my NHL career, I've met any brave kids battling cancer, and I feel it's important to do what I can to help save more lives from this horrible disease. I want to thank the V Foundation for all their hard work and look forward to using my platform and doing anything I can to help further the V Foundation and Hockey Fights Cancer's mission.

1:13 Great job. He's also inviting fans to donate to the cause by donating eight dollars and he wears uniform number eight or any amount you'd like. You can do that through the V Foundation at v dot org slash grh Chase. A couple has found scandalous messages under the floorboards. Uh oh, looks like somebody's been having an affair. Uh oh. But the good news the messages are one hundred years old. The homeowner shared their findings on Reddit and explained, my wife and I are trying to read through them and piece together a timeline. It seems like some sort of affairs. The owner of the house we live in was a married man, but these are definitely love letters. Some letters explicitly say to destroy, which you apparently disregarded. They've hidden up in the floor of the first floor of the house ac sasys a below from the basement. Social media users are trying to figure out who this was. The only clue to the identities is the name Freddy. One social media user noticed he must have been a player because the handwriting is different on most of the envelopes. Good news for the humpback wells.

2:14 They're currently in a good mood. They've been singing more. Doctor John Ryan is a biological oceanographer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California, and says the acoustic behavior of baleen whales provides insights about which species can better adapt to changing ocean conditions. The amount of humpback well song has continually increased, with their songs being detected on thirty four percent of the days at the beginning of the study and rising to seventy six percent of the days after six years. These increases consistently tracked improved foraging conditions for humpback wales across all study years, large increases in krill abundance followed by large increases in anchovy abundance. In contrast, blue and fin whale song rose primarily during the years of increasing krill abundance. The distinction of humpback whales is insistent with their ability to switch between domina prey. Meanwhile, good news if you fear some sort of worldwide catastrophe.

3:06 More than one hundred thousand seeds from Africa have been deposited in these global seed vaults. That's the world's repository for specimens intended to preserve crop diversity in the event of a disaster. These seeds are from one hundred and seventy seven different species. They were sent up to the vault in Norway. Smart idea by whoever thought of that one? And good news if you like to scarf down walnuts. Scientists have told us that scarfing down walnuts can improve your cognitive function. That's right, if you eat walnuts at breakfast, that can boost brain performance.

Can somebody run a scan on what happens if you go to Dunken Donuts? I can tell you part of my study. Should put on eight pounds over the winter because it's been five degrees out and you're not running ten k's like you usually do. Yeah, that's my personal study, but I digress. Brain scans shown to improve neural efficiency, while blood sets indicated positive changes in glucose and fatty acids. Yeah, I think my doughnuts study is showing the exact opposite of that. Scientists think that it could be the nuts mix of omega three's protein and polyphenols, which enhance cognitive function. And those are your five good news stories for today. See you later.
