World Record Cheese Ball

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I got a deal for you, and I'm Shinny Mack with five food new stories in California. Can I interest you in a house for a half a million dollars as well? Pretty good, right, except it's only half a house. That's right, half a house for half a million. What happened? The house was hit by a tree, leaving only half the house standing. So half the house is on sale for four nine Kevin is the listing agent until the La Times. It's an open concept floor plan. Meanwhile, in Mexico, they set the record for world's largest string cheese ball. That's right. The municipality of reyes Etla wanted to organize the record attempt. Cheesemakers used a rotating table to create the massive string cheese ball.

0:53 The finished ball broke the record at fourteen hundred and two point five eight pounds. Organizers set it to two six hundred and forty one gallons of milk to create the cheese. Good news, we've caught your twelve hundred pound black angus bull that had escaped in McHenry County. The Sheriff's office had issued a warning on social media about a loose bull in the vegetation between South Union Road and South Grant Highway. You know the place can The neighbor said, school buses are going by. That was our biggest fear, that he would cross the road, you know, run out in front of a school bus or something. Ranchers on horseback we're able to get a rope around the bull, but the bull broke free and charged at them before fleeing into a cornfield. Ranchers were eventually able to surround the bull, lasso him, calm him down, and walk them back to the farm. The owner said the bull's knew and he's only been here a week. No ranchers or bulls were injured in the pursuit. Meanwhile, researchers have found a new method detect bacteria in your wound.

1:49 A handheld device lights up bacteria previously invisible to the human eye. It uses violet light to illuminate molecules in the cell walls of any bacteria. Different types of bacteria turned different colors, allowing physicians to immediately determine how much and which types of bacteria are in the wound. Doctor Armstrong says we're hopeful this new technology can help surgeons improve their accuracy when pinpointing, and consequently removing bacteria from wounds and therefore improve patient outcomes, particularly for those with diabetic foot wounds. The world's largest wind powered cargo ship made its first delivery across the Atlantic. The wind powered cargo ship was loaded with hundreds of ballads of champagne, wine and cognac. It's the first time in nearly a century that a large cargo ship crossed the Atlantic powered almost entirely by the wind. A French startup that designed the show called taut towt trans Oceanic Wind Transport. They argue that sailing cargo ships can viably compete with container ships running on fossil fuels. One of the co founders says, we know the wind is abundant. We've known it for centuries. Now, with weather models, satellite communications and the routing intelligence that we can put behind it, it makes wind a reliable source of propulsion. The ship is called a niemos and it's different from a traditional sailing ship. It takes inspiration from sailboats used in racing. The mass are made from carbon fiber that makes them so lightweight that they can be much taller than traditional wood masts. The extra height it means they can hold up sales that are around twice as large and catch more wind. The sales are deployed by a mechanized system rather than sailors working by hand.

3:20 The co founder says you could actually handle the whole rigging the seven sales on board in the three thousand square meters of sail with just one remote control. The ship is two hundred and sixty five feet long, a little bigger than the Cutty Sark, the famous British clipper ship. But while the Cutty Sark had forty eight sailors, an Nemos has just seven as a backup. The ship also has diesel electric engines. When there's not much wind, those engines can be used in a hybrid mode at very low power, but around ninety five percent of the time the ship relies on its sales.
