80 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:49,320 item, a shift from the previous policy, which restricted passengers to one small item if 81 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,880 flying with a pet. 82 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,040 This change aims to enhance convenience and comfort for pet owners, allowing larger carry-on 83 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:04,040 bags to be stored in overhead bins, avoiding the previous $35

00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:48,180 Despite no significant news directly linked to Dogecoin, its rise reflects strong demand 93 00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:54,760 for cryptocurrencies, driven partly by the anticipation of the Bitcoin halving event. 94 00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:00,720 Originally created as a joke, Dogecoin's significant market value showcases its enduring 95 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:07,260

--> 00:09:21,680 type 2 diabetes, and cancer. 111 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:26,480 Nutrition experts emphasize the importance of including more whole grains in our diet, 112 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,600 as they are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. 113 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:38,260 However, finding truly whole grain products requires careful label reading, as terms like 114 00:09:38,260 --> 00:09:41,960 made from whole grain can be misleading. 115 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:48,440 Using whole grains in bulk is a practical tip for incorporating them into meals efficiently. 116 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:53,520 Whole grains not only offer health benefits, but also introduce a variety of flavors and 117 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,520 nutrients to our diet. 118 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:05,080 And in entertainment news, Courtney Cox is in talks to return as Gail Weathers in Scream 119 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,320 7, joining Mead Campbell, who announced her return as Sidney

marking his directorial 122 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,700 debut in the franchise. 123 00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:29,520 The series experienced setbacks, including the firing of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega's 124 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,840 departure due to scheduling conflicts. 125 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:38,440 Mason Gooding remains optimistic about the franchise's continuation, emphasizing its 126 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,520 fan-driven momentum. 127 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,400 Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 128 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,640 And today, our quote
