The discovery of potentially misleading labeling practices in the pet food industry has raised concerns among consumers and pet owners alike. In light of these findings, government agencies have launched a thorough investigation to determine the scope and impact of the issue.Lisa Kudrow is sharing her two cents on what she thinks is keeping newer generations hooked to the '90s sitcom Friends . Kudrow—who played Phoebe Buffay on the beloved sitcom—shared with Page Six recently that she's not amazed by its decadeslong popularity. “I’m not amazed because it’s good and it’s familiar,” the No Good Deed star, 61, shared with the publication. The actress believes the show, which spanned from 1994 to 2004, holds a “subconscious nostalgia” for younger fans who grew up with cell phones and social media. For something they don’t have, which is in-person connections and relations,” she continued. “And that’s always been at the heart of every successful show.” “That’s why people get attached to them and then if it’s funny, there [are] good performances, good jokes, that’s a bonus and Friends had all that.” The Emmy winner recalled that most people were skeptical about the show's potential earlier in the day. She remembers once being asked if “a bunch of young people sitting on a couch talking” was even a show. “That’s not my problem,” Kudrow recounted her response at the time. “I’m just in it, but yes it was a show.” The show’s finale, which aired in May 2004, was watched by over 52 million people, making it the fifth most-watched series finale in US history.
Ever since Shozo Kawasaki opened the Kawasaki Tsukiji Shipyard in Tokyo, Japan in 1878, the company has grown to become one of the leaders in the world of transportation. From motorcycles to aircraft , Kawasaki operates in a variety of markets. The organization started by manufacturing cargo-passenger ships before eventually successfully trying its hand at building submarines beginning in 1906. From the 1910s to the 1950s, Kawasaki continued its rapid expansion into other areas of manufacturing by building locomotives, airplanes, automobiles, and so much more. In 1952, Kawasaki carved out a niche for itself when it started producing helicopters. Though Japanese aircraft manufacturing struggled to regain its footing after the Treaty of Peace with Japan took effect post-World War II, Kawasaki was able to buck the trend by signing an agreement with Bell Aircraft Corporation (now Bell Helicopter Textron) to build helicopters for the U.S. company. Thus, the Kawasaki-Bell 47D-1 helicopter was born, marking the completion of the first helicopter built in Japan. 70 years later, Kawasaki is still one of the world leaders in helicopter production. The company currently offers four helicopter models: the BK117 Helicopter (often used for emergency services), the MCH/CH-101 Helicopter (which assists military operations with minesweeping), and the CH-471J/JA transport helicopter, as well as the OH-1 observation helicopter (both used for military defense purposes). The BK117 is a twin-engine, medium-sized helicopter that was developed by Kawasaki in collaboration with Airbus Helicopters — a subsidiary of French commercial aircraft manufacturer Airbus. Since the first BK117 was delivered in 1983, the chopper has served its purpose in emergency services. In the medical field, Kawasaki says that its BK117 helicopters have become a best-selling model and a preferred choice amongst healthcare professionals. The completely flat floor and the large cabin make it ideal for emergency medical transportation missions. BK117 models also serve important functions outside of the medical field. These choppers are also used in firefighting and disaster relief efforts. On top of that, the BK117 is utilized by police precinct aviation units. These helicopters are even operated by media networks and companies looking to provide aerial coverage of live and ongoing events. The company currently offers the helicopter in three models: The C-2 is 42.6 feet long and almost 13 feet high. With a length of 44.6 feet, the D-2 is the longest BK117 helicopter. Lastly, the D-3 is the tallest BK117 standing at 13.1 feet high. Kawasaki's MCH/CH-101 is derived from the EH101 medium-lift helicopter, developed and manufactured by the Italian-based Leonardo aerospace and defense organization. After Leonardo joined forces with Kawasaki, the two organizations were able to transform the EH101 into the MCH-101 by incorporating a Japanese-developed minesweeping mission system into the aircraft. Meanwhile, the MCH-101's family — simply known as CH-101s — are used as transportation support vessels during Antarctic exploration missions. Leonardo has clearly been thrilled with Kawasaki's contributions to the MCH/CH-101s because the two companies signed a new contractual agreement in June 2023 to build additional MCH-101 helicopters for the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force. The deal also led to the creation of the mid-life update (MLU) program for this model of helicopter in Japan. Kawasaki only offers one version of the MCH/CH-101. That model is 74.8 feet long and over 21.5 feet high, making it the tallest Kawasaki helicopter available on the market. The main rotor of the helicopter has a diameter of roughly 61 feet. One of Kawasaki's oldest helicopter models, the CH-47 is an incredibly large tandem-motor transportation chopper that was first developed by Boeing over 60 years ago. The prototype model, the CH-47A, was used as the U.S. Army's main transportation helicopter starting in 1962. Over the years, its performance has been upgraded following the creation of its successors, the CH-47B and CH-47C. The eventual development of the CH-47D laid the groundwork for Kawasaki to build its own version of this chopper — the CH-47J — in 1984. Less than a decade later, Kawasaki began manufacturing the CH-47JA, which came with several new and important features, including a larger fuel tank. As of November 2024, Kawasaki has delivered over 110 CH-47J/47JAs to the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, as well as the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. At a little over 99 feet in length, the CH-47J/JA is easily the longest helicopter built by Kawasaki. Additionally, it is 18 feet tall, and comes equipped with a main rotor that is a little more than 60 feet in diameter. The last chopper currently being produced by Kawasaki is the OH-1 Light Observation helicopter. This tandem two-seat chopper was built to have an excellent flying response time. It also comes outfitted with an automatic pilot system that maintains fight function, and a tail rotor that helps make the aircraft more stable in flight. In recent years, Kawasaki upgraded the helicopter so that it comes with an integrated cockpit display system as well. In 1992, Kawasaki began building the OH-1 Light Observation helicopter for the Japanese Ministry of Defense. Though it took some time to perfect, a prototype of the OH-1 aircraft made its first successful flight just four years later in 1996. The OH-1 also holds the honor of being the first Kawasaki helicopter to be manufactured completely in Japan. As one of Kawasaki's smaller models, the OH-1 only has a maximum length of 43.9 feet. It also has Kawasaki's smallest cabin, with a height of less than 12.5 feet.
President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case and was written by D. John Sauer, Trump’s choice for solicitor general. The argument submitted to the court is the latest example of Trump inserting himself in national issues before he takes office. The Republican president-elect has already begun negotiating with other countries over his plans to impose tariffs, and he intervened earlier this month in a plan to fund the federal government, calling for a bipartisan plan to be rejected and sending Republicans back to the negotiating table. He has been holding meetings with foreign leaders and business officials at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida while he assembles his administration, including a meeting last week with TikTok CEO Shou Chew. Trump has reversed his position on the popular app, having tried to ban it during his first term in office over national security concerns. He joined the TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign and his team used it to connect with younger voters, especially male voters, by pushing content that was often macho and aimed at going viral. He said earlier this year that he still believed there were national security risks with TikTok, but that he opposed banning it. The filings Friday come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The law was was signed by President Joe Biden in April after it passed Congress with broad bipartisan support. TikTok and ByteDance filed a legal challenge afterwards. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute , leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.” In their brief to the Supreme Court on Friday, attorneys for TikTok and its parent company ByteDance argued the federal appeals court erred in its ruling and based its decision on “alleged ‘risks’ that China could exercise control” over TikTok’s U.S. platform by pressuring its foreign affiliates. The Biden administration has argued in court that TikTok poses a national security risk due to its connections to China. Officials say Chinese authorities can compel ByteDance to hand over information on TikTok’s U.S. patrons or use the platform to spread or suppress information. But the government “concedes that it has no evidence China has ever attempted to do so,” TikTok’s legal filing said, adding that the U.S. fears are predicated on future risks. In its filing Friday, the Biden administration said because TikTok “is integrated with ByteDance and relies on its propriety engine developed and maintained in China,” its corporate structure carries with it risk.New York takes on St. Louis after Panarin's 2-goal showing

Asked about the B R Ambedkar book release event held in Chennai in which actor and TVK leader Vijay participated, Udhayanidhi told reporters, "I don't watch cinema news." On the highly critical comments by VCK deputy general secretary Aadhav Arjuna at the same event "a chief minister should not be elected by birth", Udhayanidhi said, "Chief ministers are elected by people, and that guy doesn't even have that basic knowledge." Udhayanidhi was in Vellore and Ranipet districts to participate in a series of govt and party events. Speeches by Vijay and Aadhav Arjuna at the book release event, which targeted DMK , caused ripples within VCK and in political circles. Vijay, who criticised DMK and chief minister M K Stalin for his statement that his party will win 200 seats in the 2026 assembly election, came in for attack by DMK functionaries. In Tiruchendur, DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi made a veiled attack on Vijay. "Many who spoke like this have not achieved anything, and we have to make people aware of it. As our party president says, I am also saying with confidence that we will definitely win 200 seats." HR & CE minister P K Sekarbabu went a step further and said DMK will win all 234 seats. Sekarbabu told reporters in Chennai, "Some self-styled intellectuals are saying that DMK will not win 200 seats. The irony here is that those who haven't even come to the ground are criticising the party. Our stand is that we will win all 234 seats. Our cadres will work even more vigorously and will make Stalin the CM again in 2026." Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .
