Speaker 1: Caloroca Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. Now good news for me when I'm
not hosting the show and trying to keep things clean.
Scientists tell us dropping an F bomb can boost your
performance by helping you feel stronger, more focused, and disinhibited.
A study published by American psychologists shows that swearing can
boost people's physical performance by helping them overcome their inhibitions
and pushing themselves harder in strength and endurance tests. Doctor
Richard Stevens says, in many situations, people hold themselves back,
consciously or unconsciously from using their full strength. Swearing is
an easily available way to help yourself feel focused, confident,
less distracted, and go for it a little more. But
the real question is I was swearing helping us? What's
the psychological mechanism? Doctor Stevens explains, by swearing, we throw
off social constraint and allow ourselves to push harder in
different situations. They even did a study they ask participants
to repeat either a swear word of their choice or
a neutral word every two seconds while doing a chair
push up. The team found that participants who swore during
the chair push up task were able to support their
body weights significantly longer than those who repeated a neutral word.
So if my kids are listening the next time we're
in the car and Dad gets a little frustrated with
the other drivers, I'm just staying strong. Okay. Good news
if you're a white stork. Sam Davenport is the director
of Nature Recovery at London Wildlife Trust and says the
white storks are coming back. Following the successful reintroduction of
white storks at the NEP estate in West Sussex, white
storks are now returning to London. The same project will
also see beavers released into flooded formal gravel pits at
eastbrook End County Park. White storks have been spotted regularly
on Thames Side wetlands since their return at NEP, where
chicks successfully hatched for the first time in twenty twenty.
White storks are known for nesting on chimney rooftops and
had been extinct as breeding birds in Britain since fourteen sixteen. WOW.
The white storks will be placed in a large aviary
hidden within grassland and scrub behind the data center. The
birds will be allowed time to climatize before the roof
of the AVIARYA is gradually rolled back, enabling them to
come and go and forge for themselves. Nice job by Beth.
She's a tattooist helping breast cancer survivors regain their confidence
by giving them free three D effect nipple tattoos. Beth
had specialist training and creating a realistic areolas and spends
up to twenty minutes on each nipple to prevent overworking
the skin. One woman, Anne, had a doublemasectomy and said
she felt put back together after the work by Beth.
Nice job there. This would be great if they can
figure this out. Samsung says they're moving closer to commercializing
solid state battery technology. The batteries boast an energy density
of about five hundred watt hours per kilogram, roughly double
that of today's lithium ion batteries. So what does that
actually mean? Johnny Max Samsung says this could mean electric
vehicles with up to six hundred miles of range and
charging times as short as nine minutes. Now that eliminates
you know, Like I used to drive to Chicago from
New Jersey a lot, and I would sometimes think, boy,
if I had to stop for an hour to charge
this thing up. The new batteries are smaller, lighter, and
for safer because they replace flammable liquid electrolytes with a
solid electrolyte. Samsung estimates a lifespan of up to twenty years,
or around two thousand charging cycles, which could equal more
than a million miles of driving in an EV. Let's
hope that all works out. That'd be neat If you
enjoy this program, if it makes your day a little better,
and you would like to support it. One thing you
can do is on the Apple podcast app, click that
button that says uninterrupted listening long term. For five bucks
a month, you can get the show commercial free, and
you also get a bunch of other things on the network,
including Daily Comedy News, which I host seven days a week.
But that also comes with a thirty day free trial
if you want to test it out and see how
you like to show without commercials. In christ Church, pedestrians
have been puzzled and amused by a series of official
looking street signs with absurd messages. One says don't that's it,
just don't. Another says this area is slightly haunted, but manageable.
This is from a guy named Cameron who attributes the
signs to christ Church City Confusion. Cameron says the goal
was to mimic official signage closely enough to stop people
in their tracks that surprise them with something completely illogical.
He describes the effect as a moment of confusion followed
by joy. The project has intended to encourage people to
slow down, notice the environment, and rethink everything that usually
take for granted. I love it. Those are your five
good news stories for today. You have an awesome one.
