00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.560
Caaloroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm shutting back with five good

2
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.839
news stories. Let's just start with the gudness record. I've

3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.240
been doing so many of these this summer. A Nigerian

4
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.679
man shook his backside for three hours and thirty minutes

5
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.480
to break the record for longest twerking. He took on

6
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.359
the challenge to raise awareness about depression and the importance

7
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.879
of mental health. About a g day, Adamanjo wrote on

8
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.440
his TikTok account, We're beyond thrilled to announce that our

9
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.200
record breaking achievement has been officially recognized by Guinness World Records.

10
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.159
We're incredibly proud of set a new standard in twerking

11
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.920
and we couldn't have done it without your energy, enthusiasm

12
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.640
and support. Good news if you want to live long,

13
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.079
and better news if you're a mouse. Scientists have moved

14
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.200
a step closer to unlocking the secrets of anti aging

15
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.840
to developed a method of extending the lifespan of mammals

16
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:58.759
by twenty five percent. Imperial College London researches inhibited the

17
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.359
protein inter luken al in middle aged mice that reportedly

18
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.239
improved the animal's vision, hearing, metabolism, lung health and muscle function,

19
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.040
even preventing hair loss and graying. Treated mice lived an

20
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.680
average of one hundred and fifty five weeks compared to

21
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.959
one hundred and twenty weeks for untreated mice. They also

22
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:21.079
had fewer cancers and fewer signs of aging. Good job scientists.

23
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.719
Also good job by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They're

24
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.799
collaborating with the Parks Project to celebrate the Red Hot

25
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.560
Chili peppers twenty fifth anniversary. Together, they've debuted a limited

26
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.519
edition capsule collection inspired by the beauty of Yosemite National

27
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:40.680
Park and the album Californication. The capsule collection has three pieces,

28
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.359
a t shirt, a crew neck sweatshirt, and a blanket,

29
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:48.280
each combining elements from Californication and Yosemite. The band has

30
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.560
donated to Nature Bridge, a nonprofit that provides scholarships to

31
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.719
underserved children to explore the wonder and adventure of Yosemite

32
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:59.840
through outdoor education programs. Meanwhile, let's plant some trees. Researchers

33
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.239
have discovered trees also absorbed methane. We already knew that

34
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.000
trees were good about pulling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,

35
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.520
and we could definitely use some of that these days. Now,

36
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.879
a study has shown that tree bark absorbs methane, also

37
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.319
a greenhouse gas. While methane doesn't stay as long in

38
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.520
the atmosphere as CO two, it does trap more heat

39
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.080
in the Earth's atmosphere. We'll still need to do some

40
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.560
other things, but maybe we should plant more trees.

41
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.000
All right, good news. If you lost something at the

42
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.680
Denver Airport, they've got a lost and found Let's see

43
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.039
what they have found. Maybe one of these things is yours.

44
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.840
They recently found some elk meat, so if you lost

45
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.400
your elk meat while you're traveling, check the Denver Airport.

46
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.840
They also have a circular saw. Supervisor Noel said the

47
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.039
top five things that are lost or bags, IDs, glasses, electronics,

48
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.520
and jewelry that all make sense. At the time of

49
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.719
this recording, they had found a forklift, battery. Lost and

50
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.240
found items are held by the airport for thirty days.

51
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.439
She says, we're always trying to return the items back

52
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.719
to the owner. Meanwhile, a study of European hotels earlier

53
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.319
this year included some lost and found stuff, one of

54
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.000
which was a full clown costume. And those are your

55
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.560
five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program,

56
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:12.479
tell a friend about it. They might like it to you.
