00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.679
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Shonny Mack with five good news stories.
2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.480
A couple one hundred thousand pounds on
the year millions, and they're gonna spend
3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.280
their winnings on fostering children. Kathleen
said she's moaned in the past about her
4
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.960
husband Mark playing the lottery every week, believing they weren't gonna win, and
5
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.800
then she thought Mark was playing a
practical joke when he asked her to check
6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:31.399
the winning ticket. They checked the
numbers they had won. She was talking
7
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.679
to the woman from the National Lottery
when Mark came home with milk. She
8
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.200
said, I told him to shush
some on the phone with the National Lottery.
9
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:39.719
He looked at me in disbelief,
and I put the phone on speaker
10
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.960
and the lady confirmed we'd won over
one hundred thousand pounds. She said,
11
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.799
I've always wanted a foster children.
Mark and I discussed it many years ago,
12
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.479
and then we had our own.
That is good news, hey,
13
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:52.920
good news if you like carbs.
Apparently pasta, rice and potatoes could be
14
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.479
great for your health. Bad news. They have to be cooled down first.
15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.840
Oh, great cold fries. It
turns out putting some leftovers in the
16
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.719
ridge overnight might be great at promoting
gut health. Lena Hilacave Clark as a
17
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.680
professor of food science at the University
of Minnesota and says that foods like pasta,
18
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.040
rice, kienwan potatoes are sources of
a special type of dietsarry fiber called
19
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.359
maac's. The professor says, while
all fiber is good, maacs are particularly
20
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.920
good for boosting gut health because of
the way they influence your gut microbiome.
21
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.200
Think of them as a natural prebiotic. Unfortunately, when you eat them fresh,
22
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.400
their gut helping properties haven't been unleashed
yet. But when they're cooled,
23
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.560
the starters in these foods are restructured
in a process called starch retrogradation. So
24
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.120
yeah, eat those fries just they're
gonna be ice cold and kind of crunchy
25
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.239
and terrible. An ear comedian broke
a world record on a live streaming show
26
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.640
by arranging thirteen donuts into a stack
in one minute. So the record's thirteen.
27
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.840
I've never attempted this. That doesn't
sound that hard to stack thirteen donuts
28
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.079
in a minute. Robin Shall said
she decided to take on the record for
29
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.239
Talle stack of donuts in one minute. She had looked up the record solving
30
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.719
donuts and found the record had been
twelve. She said. Two weeks before
31
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.959
the challenge, I decided it was
time to go in a full blown training.
32
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.159
She said she had to learn how
to make donuts because it was difficult
33
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.879
to find ones that were the proper
size required by the record book. Robin
34
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.000
says, when the buzzer went off, I became very present. Whatever nerves
35
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.360
I felt went away, and I
started to put on the donut stacking show.
36
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.960
You know, every now and then
it's the shelter dog that adopts the
37
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.159
humans. Scout was astray in a
shelter in Michigan. Apparently, Scout the
38
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.039
dog decided, no one's gonna dop
me. I'm out of here. Scout
39
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.520
escaped the shelter and made his way
to a nursing home. County Animal Control
40
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.120
was called to the Meadowbrook Medical Care
facility and they found one of the shelter's
41
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.159
dogs, Scout, curled up on
the couch. He had escaped from the
42
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:51.000
shelter, scaled the ten foot chain
link fence, another six foot solid privacy
43
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.159
fence, crossed a busy highway,
found the nursing home, got through the
44
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.879
front door and curled up on the
couch. Anyway, they took Scout back
45
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.840
to the shelter. He escaped a
few nights later and went back to the
46
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.400
couch at the meadow Brook waiting Room. A few nights later, Scout was
47
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.199
there again. Marna Robertson is the
nursing homes administrator and said, I'm a
48
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.120
person who looks at outward signs and
if it's meant to be, it's meant
49
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.439
to be. Did that one time, two times, three times, and
50
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.120
obviously that's something should pay attention to, and asked the staff, well,
51
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.000
he wants to be here when anybody
like to have a dog. Scout was
52
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.800
formally adopted by the nursing home and
says of the residents to each and every
53
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.879
one of them, it's their dog. Identical sisters Rosy and Kathy have been
54
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.639
wearing the same outfits for two decades. They have no plans on stopping.
55
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.319
They love fifty styles frocks and jeans
and do everything together. They've been wearing
56
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.599
matching outfits for twenty three years.
They have the same pair of glasses,
57
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.919
the same pajamas. They like to
go out and take bus rides, walks
58
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.960
and shop together. Even work together
for eleven years. Kathy said, we
59
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.319
have so many clothes. We always
go to the shop see something we like.
60
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.759
We have the same coats. People
see us and ask us to take
61
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.039
a photograph. They say they don't
often see twins r each together. Oh
62
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.280
there's more, Kathy says, we
have exactly the same homes with the same
63
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.479
layout and the same great color scheme
at the moment. The two recently went
64
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.719
on a cruise to France and Spain
together and they packed the same clothes.
