00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,919
Speaker 1: Caloroca Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,880
good news stories. Now good news for me when I'm

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,960
not hosting the show and trying to keep things clean.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,399
Scientists tell us dropping an F bomb can boost your

5
00:00:17,399 --> 00:00:21,039
performance by helping you feel stronger, more focused, and disinhibited.

6
00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:26,280
A study published by American psychologists shows that swearing can

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,600
boost people's physical performance by helping them overcome their inhibitions

8
00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:33,159
and pushing themselves harder in strength and endurance tests. Doctor

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,960
Richard Stevens says, in many situations, people hold themselves back,

10
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:41,079
consciously or unconsciously from using their full strength. Swearing is

11
00:00:41,119 --> 00:00:44,399
an easily available way to help yourself feel focused, confident,

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,240
less distracted, and go for it a little more. But

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,000
the real question is I was swearing helping us? What's

14
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:54,679
the psychological mechanism? Doctor Stevens explains, by swearing, we throw

15
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:57,039
off social constraint and allow ourselves to push harder in

16
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:00,920
different situations. They even did a study they ask participants

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,520
to repeat either a swear word of their choice or

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,280
a neutral word every two seconds while doing a chair

19
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:10,319
push up. The team found that participants who swore during

20
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:12,840
the chair push up task were able to support their

21
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:16,120
body weights significantly longer than those who repeated a neutral word.

22
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:18,560
So if my kids are listening the next time we're

23
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:21,480
in the car and Dad gets a little frustrated with

24
00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:24,959
the other drivers, I'm just staying strong. Okay. Good news

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,239
if you're a white stork. Sam Davenport is the director

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,640
of Nature Recovery at London Wildlife Trust and says the

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,400
white storks are coming back. Following the successful reintroduction of

28
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:38,799
white storks at the NEP estate in West Sussex, white

29
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:42,840
storks are now returning to London. The same project will

30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,840
also see beavers released into flooded formal gravel pits at

31
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:51,000
eastbrook End County Park. White storks have been spotted regularly

32
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:54,879
on Thames Side wetlands since their return at NEP, where

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,760
chicks successfully hatched for the first time in twenty twenty.

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,879
White storks are known for nesting on chimney rooftops and

35
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,640
had been extinct as breeding birds in Britain since fourteen sixteen. WOW.

36
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:09,280
The white storks will be placed in a large aviary

37
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:13,639
hidden within grassland and scrub behind the data center. The

38
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,199
birds will be allowed time to climatize before the roof

39
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:19,080
of the AVIARYA is gradually rolled back, enabling them to

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,759
come and go and forge for themselves. Nice job by Beth.

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
She's a tattooist helping breast cancer survivors regain their confidence

42
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:31,560
by giving them free three D effect nipple tattoos. Beth

43
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:34,639
had specialist training and creating a realistic areolas and spends

44
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:37,199
up to twenty minutes on each nipple to prevent overworking

45
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:40,360
the skin. One woman, Anne, had a doublemasectomy and said

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,759
she felt put back together after the work by Beth.

47
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:45,319
Nice job there. This would be great if they can

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,240
figure this out. Samsung says they're moving closer to commercializing

49
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,960
solid state battery technology. The batteries boast an energy density

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,439
of about five hundred watt hours per kilogram, roughly double

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,560
that of today's lithium ion batteries. So what does that

52
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:03,159
actually mean? Johnny Max Samsung says this could mean electric

53
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,680
vehicles with up to six hundred miles of range and

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,479
charging times as short as nine minutes. Now that eliminates

55
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:13,400
you know, Like I used to drive to Chicago from

56
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:15,719
New Jersey a lot, and I would sometimes think, boy,

57
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:17,400
if I had to stop for an hour to charge

58
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,280
this thing up. The new batteries are smaller, lighter, and

59
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,759
for safer because they replace flammable liquid electrolytes with a

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,960
solid electrolyte. Samsung estimates a lifespan of up to twenty years,

61
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:31,960
or around two thousand charging cycles, which could equal more

62
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,080
than a million miles of driving in an EV. Let's

63
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,400
hope that all works out. That'd be neat If you

64
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,439
enjoy this program, if it makes your day a little better,

65
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:41,800
and you would like to support it. One thing you

66
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,159
can do is on the Apple podcast app, click that

67
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:47,719
button that says uninterrupted listening long term. For five bucks

68
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:50,199
a month, you can get the show commercial free, and

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,000
you also get a bunch of other things on the network,

70
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,560
including Daily Comedy News, which I host seven days a week.

71
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:56,879
But that also comes with a thirty day free trial

72
00:03:56,919 --> 00:03:58,280
if you want to test it out and see how

73
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:01,439
you like to show without commercials. In christ Church, pedestrians

74
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,000
have been puzzled and amused by a series of official

75
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:09,719
looking street signs with absurd messages. One says don't that's it,

76
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,639
just don't. Another says this area is slightly haunted, but manageable.

77
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,759
This is from a guy named Cameron who attributes the

78
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,000
signs to christ Church City Confusion. Cameron says the goal

79
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:25,800
was to mimic official signage closely enough to stop people

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,920
in their tracks that surprise them with something completely illogical.

81
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,439
He describes the effect as a moment of confusion followed

82
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,600
by joy. The project has intended to encourage people to

83
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:39,319
slow down, notice the environment, and rethink everything that usually

84
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:41,480
take for granted. I love it. Those are your five

85
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:43,519
good news stories for today. You have an awesome one.
