00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.000
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey, if
you're in Illinois, be on the alert.

2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.640
Officials say there's a monkey that may
or may not be on the loose.

3
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:20.440
I'm Chinnac with five good news stories. The Whiteside County Health Department issued

4
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.640
an alert on social media saying they
received a report of a monkey loose in

5
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:29.320
the area. A Health department spokesperson
said animal control officers have not spotted the

6
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:33.600
monkey and there have been no reports
of anyone missing a monkey. He said

7
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:38.200
officials aren't even certain if there is
a monkey. However, if you do

8
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.799
see a monkey, they warn you
don't approach the monkey or make attempts to

9
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.359
capture it. Call officials if you
see a monkey, let me know,

10
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:51.079
will ya. Another Guinness World record, this one for moving water by hand?

11
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.560
Sure? Why not? So this
guy David. We've talked about this

12
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.920
guy David before. He likes breaking
records. This one is most water moved

13
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.280
by hands in third twenty seconds.
He'd been trying to take this record for

14
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.040
five years. He had attempted it
multiple times, but his attempts were frequently

15
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:12.799
disqualified for reasons including his picture of
water moving slightly and using a non approved

16
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:18.159
surface. He had to use only
his hands to transfer water from a bucket

17
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:23.319
to a pitcher placed one meter away. He successfully took the record by transferring

18
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.040
a one hundred and twelve point four
ounces from one container to the other in

19
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.200
thirty seconds. That brought him to
a total of one hundred and seventy four

20
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.519
concurrently held records. He's trying to
make it to one hundred and eighty one

21
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:41.599
and concurrently held records to surpass fellow
record breaker Silvio. Silvio has one hundred

22
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:47.560
and eighty records right now. Okay, congratulations to twenty three sets of twins.

23
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.439
They all graduated from middle school.
That's right. Twenty three sets of

24
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:56.120
twins made up about ten percent of
the eighth grade class. This at Hollered

25
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.040
Middle School in Nita, Massachusetts.
There's another student who's also twin. She

26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.560
graduated, but her brother goes to
a different school. The principal set,

27
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.800
it's quite unusual. You think we
typically have anywhere from five to ten sets

28
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.919
at most. Given her numbers,
we have approximately four hundred and fifty to

29
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.039
five hundred children each grade, so
this was extraordinarily high. According to the

30
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.080
National Center for Health Statistics, twins
account for around three percent of live birds

31
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.759
in the US. Congratulations to all
the twins. Dj Vika is one of

32
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:30.520
Warsaw's most popular DJs. Dj Vika
spins techno at nightclubs, plays seventies hits.

33
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.879
Oh, and she's eighty five and
she plays those seventies hits at a

34
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.639
senior citizens club in the daytime.
She retired at age sixty five, but

35
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.879
grew restless and her husband suggested find
something to do. They're making a documentary

36
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.159
about her. The director says she's
unstoppable, and I think that also makes

37
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:47.560
her go on. At the age
of eighty five, she still has so

38
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.319
much energy and appetite for life.
The stories are a little silly today,

39
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.759
aren't they. How about this one? Ramen noodle products from a South Korean

40
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.919
company have been recalled in Denmark because
they're too spicy. That's right. The

41
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:07.879
Danish Veterinary and Food Administration announced on
their website that it's recalling sam Yang's bull

42
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.639
Dack, three times spicy Hot Chicken, two X Spicy Hot Chicken, and

43
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.520
hot Chicken stew ramen noodle products.
The recall was attributed to high levels of

44
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:22.719
capsaicin the chili pepper extract that gives
the noodles their spicy flavor. The Technical

45
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.479
University of Denmark Food Institute assesses that
the levels in a single pack of all

46
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.199
three noodle products are so high that
they pose a risk that the consumer develops

47
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.240
acute poisoning. Sam Yang gave a
statement to the BBC saying, we understand

48
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.680
that the Danish food authority recalled the
products not because of a problem in their

49
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.919
quality, but because they were too
spicy. The products are being exported globally.

50
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.800
This is the first time they've been
recalled for the above reason. The

51
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:49.439
company said they will look closely into
the local regulations. Now I'm no expert

52
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.199
in this subject, really, John, We didn't know that. No,

53
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:57.919
I'm not Bulldack Ramen three X Spicy, the hottest noodles in the product line,

54
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:03.360
has a spiciness rating of thirteen thousand
Scoville heat units. As a comparison,

55
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:09.759
a jalapeno pepper has a rating of
four thousand to eight thousand Sculville heat

56
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.759
units. That is some spicy ramen. And those are your five good news
