1 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 61 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,919 Patty Callahan Henry, I am Mary kay Andrews, I'm Kristin harl and I'm 62 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,879 Christy Woodson Harvey.

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.
