Speaker 1: Caloroga Shock Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
Speaker 1: good news stories. Studies have long shown that sitting all
Speaker 1: day is not great for our health, but new research
Speaker 1: suggests the solution might be pretty simple. Researchers at Columbia
Speaker 1: University say the sweet spot is taking a five minute
Speaker 1: walk every hour. The study followed more than eleven thousand
Speaker 1: office workers. During the first week, participants follow their normal routines.
Speaker 1: Then they tested different walking schedules, including breaks every thirty minutes,
Speaker 1: every hour, and every two hours. If you ever worked
Speaker 1: in an office, I'm absolutely doing the every hour. The
Speaker 1: results work clear. Walking every half hour offered benefits, but
Speaker 1: interrupted work too often. Waiting two hours helped a little,
Speaker 1: but not as much the sweet spot five minutes once
Speaker 1: an hour. Participants reported feeling happier, more alert, less fatigued,
Speaker 1: and even more productive. Scientists getting a ton and they
Speaker 1: have found that an Antarctic sea creature might hold the
Speaker 1: key to fighting skin cancer. Researchers from the University of
Speaker 1: South Florida say toxins produced by tiny Antarctic sea creatures
Speaker 1: known as sea squirts, have shown remarkable promise in early
Speaker 1: melanoma research. Divers collected these sea squirts, which is just
Speaker 1: fun to say, from icy waters more than one hundred
Speaker 1: feet below the surface. In laboratory testing, researchers found that
Speaker 1: bacteria living inside the sea squirts produce compounds capable of
Speaker 1: killing melanoma cells. That's awesome. Even more encouraging, the compounds
Speaker 1: eliminated cancer and mice without harming the mice. Professor Bill
Speaker 1: Baker said, the good news is it didn't kill the mice,
Speaker 1: it did kill the cancer. Now the challenge producing enough
Speaker 1: of it. A basketball size collection of sea squirts yields
Speaker 1: only a tiny fraction of the material needed for testing,
Speaker 1: so scientists have to figure out how to recreate the
Speaker 1: compound in the labor rather than harvesting it. In Antarctica
Speaker 1: and Montana, volunteers were rewarding people who choose not to
Speaker 1: drive drunk, never drive drunk, always choose not to drive drunk.
Speaker 1: A volunteer group known as the Montana Bar Fairies. They
Speaker 1: went viral for leaving five dollars coffee gift cards under
Speaker 1: the windshield wipers of vehicles left overnight outside local bars.
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. If you leave your car behind, you
Speaker 1: take a cab home instead of drinking. You get a
Speaker 1: small thank you the next morning to show up. Is
Speaker 1: that a parking ticket? No, it's a gift card for
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee. Congratulations to Kelsey. Kelsey made history
Speaker 1: becoming the first American woman to row alone from California
Speaker 1: to Hawaii. Forty three days alone on the Pacific Ocean,
Speaker 1: Kelsey arrived in Honolulu, completing the roughly twenty four hundred
Speaker 1: mile journey aboard her twenty one foot rowing boat, the Lily.
Speaker 1: She also set the fastest solo California to Hawaii rowing
Speaker 1: time ever, breaking both the previous women's record by more
Speaker 1: than eighty six days. Throughout the journey, she shared video
Speaker 1: updates documenting everything from rough seas and ocean currents, the
Speaker 1: everyday challenges of avoiding sunburn, preparing meals, and coping with
Speaker 1: weeks of isolation, and one entry recorded just a few
Speaker 1: days before reaching Hawaii, she was sad she had come
Speaker 1: to love life alone on the open ocean. Oh and
Speaker 1: you got a feel for this, mom. Mom's there at
Speaker 1: the airport, and suddenly the suitcase started vibrating. Yep, the
Speaker 1: suitcase started vibrating in full volume. Everyone turned around and
Speaker 1: stared at the mom. What was in the suitcase that
Speaker 1: at everybody wondering what was vibrating, Well, it was a
Speaker 1: personal item, you know what. It was an electric toothbrush.
Speaker 1: I know what you were thinking, kind of show do
Speaker 1: you think this is? It was an electric toothbrush. That's
Speaker 1: all those? Are you? Five good news stories for today?
Speaker 1: Have a good one.
