World’s longest pizza record broken

The worlds longest pizza record got broken, the pizza was 2 km long and was made in California in America.

The pizza was made by a team of Chefs on Saturday Morning on 18th of July 2017 at Auto Club Speedway in the Fontana.

The chef's original plan was to make a 2.1 km pizza but after the chef's safely secured the Guinness Word Record for the pizza - Surpassing the 1.8 km pizza made in Naples. In May 2016 they called it quits because of how hard it was to make after wanting to try but then they tried in 18th of July 2017 and it was a success! 

The idea of trying to break the record of the world's longest pizza was suggested by a group of American Chef's who heard about the world's longest pizza that was created in Italy. They knew they needed to bring the title of America of the longest pizza made.

Have you wonder how soap makes you clean?

When the days go warm and everyone is outside playing you mostly play sports, tag, ETC. You start to sweat and get really dirty, that's when you go home or if your home then you go inside and you take a bath or a shower. But you might wonder how soap makes you clean. Maybe Soap has something that makes the dirt disappear? Maybe its eating the dirt? or maybe there are Radioactive things in soap that makes them gone. Well here's the truth, The dirt is like sticky and it stays on your hand even if you wipe it off or wash with normal water. The soap contains oil which makes the dirt not sticky and just slides off your hand into the drain. That's why using soap is important so you can have clean hands.

Cows invades Russian shopping mall.

The shopping people who were in the shopping mall were left baffled after they witnessed tons of cows entering the garage parking area. It was unclear about where the cows came from, the cows went through the automatic glass doors and the onlookers took a video of the bizarre scene. The onlookers followed them to see what they were doing, apparently the cows were only browsing the store to see what they would like.

The Weekends

10/6/17 Weekends My sister comes over to my bed when I wake up and learnt how to climb over me, it was crazy. Me and mum had to be careful so when she wasn't asleep we had to be awake in case she would fall off the bed.

She learned how to crawl and Eat. She ate carrots and Potato, she can now grab things and she has feelings now. She also can Sit, roll over and she crawl's really fast especially when your playing with her, so its really dangerous on the bed.

She can pretend shes crying when we ask if shes hurt. My sister loves it when she hears me and my mom sings to her.

I teach my sister how to speak English and my parents teach her how to speak their language. I always play with my sister everyday because I love her and don't want her to feel lonely, sometimes I feed her milk and help my parents put her to sleep. I teach my sister English so she can understand it when she grows up and its neat when she has two languages.

I turn on the TV when she wants to watch something, I love feeding her milk, food and water.

When my sister's asleep I work in the Copper kettle and help my mom, this only happens in the weekends though. My moms staffs and all the customers that come tell me that I am a handy helper. It makes me happy because at least I can help.

I wonder what my sister will learn over the time, I don't know maybe she will learn how to walk and talk.

Do you like using Hot water or Cold water?

Do you like using Hot water or Cold water to wash and clean your hands?

Researches suggested that Cold water is just as good as Hot water. Scientists from the US were studding on volunteers and found out that washing with hot water that is 38 Degrees and washing with cold water that's 15 Degrees didn't make a difference at all, they washed the same amount of bacteria killed.

Also using antibacterial soap and normal soap didn't make a difference too. The only difference is the amount of time you spend washing your hand, you should wash for at least 10 seconds.

Weekly News, YouTube to stop 30 sec ads!

YouTube announced that they are going to get rid of the 30 second ads that you can’t skip and that are annoying. Ad’s (Adverts) are a big part of how YouTubers or Video owners make lots of money. The more views they get for the adverts the more they will earn money and get paid from YouTube.

YouTube gives everyone the option to skip ads after five seconds. But it is always not the case, sometimes you have to watch 30 second ad before being able to watch the video you want to watch. But, the feedback on 30 second ads are shown that people stopped watching videos because of how long the ads were. Shorter ads will still be on YouTube to enable YouTubers / Video Owners to make money.

They will get rid of 30 seconds ad but the shorter ads will still be on so bare with it!
