Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Shonny Mack with five good news stories.
A couple one hundred thousand pounds on the year millions, and they're gonna spend
their winnings on fostering children. Kathleen said she's moaned in the past about her
husband Mark playing the lottery every week, believing they weren't gonna win, and
then she thought Mark was playing a practical joke when he asked her to check
the winning ticket. They checked the numbers they had won. She was talking
to the woman from the National Lottery when Mark came home with milk. She
said, I told him to shush some on the phone with the National Lottery.
He looked at me in disbelief, and I put the phone on speaker
and the lady confirmed we'd won over one hundred thousand pounds. She said,
I've always wanted a foster children. Mark and I discussed it many years ago,
and then we had our own. That is good news, hey,
good news if you like carbs. Apparently pasta, rice and potatoes could be
great for your health. Bad news. They have to be cooled down first.
Oh, great cold fries. It turns out putting some leftovers in the
ridge overnight might be great at promoting gut health. Lena Hilacave Clark as a
professor of food science at the University of Minnesota and says that foods like pasta,
rice, kienwan potatoes are sources of a special type of dietsarry fiber called
maac's. The professor says, while all fiber is good, maacs are particularly
good for boosting gut health because of the way they influence your gut microbiome.
Think of them as a natural prebiotic. Unfortunately, when you eat them fresh,
their gut helping properties haven't been unleashed yet. But when they're cooled,
the starters in these foods are restructured in a process called starch retrogradation. So
yeah, eat those fries just they're gonna be ice cold and kind of crunchy
and terrible. An ear comedian broke a world record on a live streaming show
by arranging thirteen donuts into a stack in one minute. So the record's thirteen.
I've never attempted this. That doesn't sound that hard to stack thirteen donuts
in a minute. Robin Shall said she decided to take on the record for
Talle stack of donuts in one minute. She had looked up the record solving
donuts and found the record had been twelve. She said. Two weeks before
the challenge, I decided it was time to go in a full blown training.
She said she had to learn how to make donuts because it was difficult
to find ones that were the proper size required by the record book. Robin
says, when the buzzer went off, I became very present. Whatever nerves
I felt went away, and I started to put on the donut stacking show.
You know, every now and then it's the shelter dog that adopts the
humans. Scout was astray in a shelter in Michigan. Apparently, Scout the
dog decided, no one's gonna dop me. I'm out of here. Scout
escaped the shelter and made his way to a nursing home. County Animal Control
was called to the Meadowbrook Medical Care facility and they found one of the shelter's
dogs, Scout, curled up on the couch. He had escaped from the
shelter, scaled the ten foot chain link fence, another six foot solid privacy
fence, crossed a busy highway, found the nursing home, got through the
front door and curled up on the couch. Anyway, they took Scout back
to the shelter. He escaped a few nights later and went back to the
couch at the meadow Brook waiting Room. A few nights later, Scout was
there again. Marna Robertson is the nursing homes administrator and said, I'm a
person who looks at outward signs and if it's meant to be, it's meant
to be. Did that one time, two times, three times, and
obviously that's something should pay attention to, and asked the staff, well,
he wants to be here when anybody like to have a dog. Scout was
formally adopted by the nursing home and says of the residents to each and every
one of them, it's their dog. Identical sisters Rosy and Kathy have been
wearing the same outfits for two decades. They have no plans on stopping.
They love fifty styles frocks and jeans and do everything together. They've been wearing
matching outfits for twenty three years. They have the same pair of glasses,
the same pajamas. They like to go out and take bus rides, walks
and shop together. Even work together for eleven years. Kathy said, we
have so many clothes. We always go to the shop see something we like.
We have the same coats. People see us and ask us to take
a photograph. They say they don't often see twins r each together. Oh
there's more, Kathy says, we have exactly the same homes with the same
layout and the same great color scheme at the moment. The two recently went
on a cruise to France and Spain together and they packed the same clothes.
