The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories hate good news.

2
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:13.960
If you think maybe your dog is
in love, your dog might be

3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.399
in love. If you've ever caught
your pooch looking longingly at another pet in

4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.519
the dog park. A study by
canine cottages found that dogs exhibited a substantial

5
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.960
heart race increase when introduced to their
favorite canine friend. Dog behaviorist Joe Nutkins

6
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.359
tells us when dogs share essentials like
food, water, balls, and sleeping

7
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.679
spaces, it signifies a higher level
of trust, comfort, and intimacy.

8
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.280
This behavior goes beyond simple friendships,
as dog display cues like soft eyes and

9
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.079
behaviors that go deeper than casual interactions. Snuggling up together, curling up for

10
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.119
sleep, and other shared gestures highlight
this special bond. But much like humans,

11
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:53.039
some dogs display adoration for fellow furry
companions, even when it's not reciprocated.

12
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.159
Yep, I've been there. A
man found a one hundred year old

13
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.159
note under his carpet. It was
a soldier's letter to his mother. There

14
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.679
it had been stashed away under the
carpet. The man and his wife recently

15
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.000
bought her grandmother's house, and they
started doing, you know, upgrading,

16
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.319
redecorating like one does. They ripped
up the old carpet and they found a

17
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.560
letter from a US soldier sent to
France in nineteen seventeen. The letter was

18
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.040
sent quote on active service with American
Expeditionary Force. The letter reads, my

19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.400
dear mother, just a few lines
to let you know I'm all right and

20
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.599
feeling good. Our YMCA opened up
yesterday and sure, handy thing, we're

21
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.040
having the finest of weather. It
was a little smudged and working like more

22
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.239
smudge. There's not much I can
write about the smudge ship More smudge are

23
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.920
so strict right as often as you
can, with close love, GM Parker,

24
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.959
A and F via New York,
France. The homeowner thought maybe it

25
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.000
was sent you know it's a grandma, but later discovered it was from a

26
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.799
previous occupier of the house. The
man also found a Brooks Robinson baseball card

27
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.200
hidden inside a wall. He said
the card belonged to my father in law.

28
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.079
He said he used to play in
the attic right above where it was

29
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.640
found. He even remembers the specific
card. Hey good news, if you're

30
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.879
been keep going bad. Gary Ellis
is the director of CE Safety and he

31
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.960
explained that bananas emit ethylene gas and
that's what makes them turn brown. So

32
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.800
to keep your bananas ripe and yellow, you have to prevent ethylene gas from

33
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.039
traveling around the fruit. One key
rule with bananas is keep them away from

34
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.560
other produce. Fruit balls with banana
hangers over the top may look brudy,

35
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.159
but they're just gonna make your bananas
ripe and faster as they're near other fruits.

36
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.719
Also separate the bunch. Gary said
that'll keep them fresher for longer as

37
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.639
it traps the ethylene gas at the
top of the fruit where it admits from,

38
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.560
rather than letting it spread and exposing
the other bananas to the gas.

39
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.159
He also caution about putting bananas in
the fridge and said if you put them

40
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.800
in too soon, they'll stay very
green. Too late, they'll turn brown

41
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.439
and mushy. Good news if you
exercise, Professor Brendan Stubbs told The Mirror

42
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.520
the benefits of exercise are multi system. As soon as you starts engage in

43
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.520
sports and exercise just for ten minutes, you get lighting up within key areas

44
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.319
of the brain. These areas include
the prefrontal cortex, which just response for

45
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.199
our concentration and also the fear center, a protective mechanism which looks out in

46
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.800
the environment for any sort of danger. Another area that's lit up in these

47
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:09.479
change in size over time as well
as the area of the brain called the

48
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.280
hippocampus, and that's an area which
is reduced in many mental health conditions such

49
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.400
as depression, anxiety, dementia,
and it's responsible for emotional processing and the

50
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.680
storage of memories from short to long
term. Just ten minutes of exercise can

51
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.560
light up this area of the brain, and over time what you can see

52
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.400
is actual changes in the brain.
Meanwhile, a study of two thousand adults

53
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.680
