news, we all know that fiber helps digestion.

00:06:33.930 --> 00:06:36.790

00:06:36.790 --> 00:06:39.550
for managing your cholesterol levels and heart

00:06:39.550 --> 00:06:43.850

with online health influencers adding chia seeds,

00:06:47.430 --> 00:06:50.250
beans, oats and berries to their meals, aiming

00:06:50.250 --> 00:06:53.089
to consume the entire recommended daily amount

00:06:53.089 --> 00:06:57.350
of fiber in one sitting. Fiber is rapidly becoming

00:06:57.350 --> 00:07:01.519
nutrient royalty. Robust science supports that

00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.740
higher fiber intake is protective for heart health.

00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.439

00:07:33.769 --> 00:07:37.629
shipments. One tracking update stated, the package

00:07:37.629 --> 00:07:40.389

higher costs, prompting some to switch to other

00:07:49.529 --> 00:07:53.189
carriers like FedEx. The situation has raised

00:07:53.189 --> 00:07:56.410
concerns for individuals whose shipments contain

is facing another proposed class action lawsuit

00:09:13.139 --> 00:09:16.820
for alleged copyright infringement. Just about

00:09:16.820 --> 00:09:19.200
a month after being accused of using pirated

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.519
books to train its artificial intelligence, Apple

00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.450
was reported by Bloomberg Law. Two neuroscience

00:09:26.450 --> 00:09:29.690
professors from SUNY Downstate Health Sciences

00:09:29.690 --> 00:09:32.629
University in Brooklyn, New York, claimed that

00:09:32.629 --> 00:09:35.629
Apple used their registered works without authorization.

00:09:36.830 --> 00:09:40.190
The neuroscientists Susanna Martinez Conde and

00:09:40.190 --> 00:09:43.470
Steph Magnick stated that Apple trained its AI

00:09:43.470 --> 00:09:47.070
models using shadow libraries and web crawling

00:09:47.070 --> 00:09:50.789
software that provide access to pirated copyrighted

00:09:50.789 --> 00:09:55.179
books, including two of their own. Apple is not

00:09:55.179 --> 00:09:59.360
alone, as OpenAI is also facing similar accusations.

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:06.559

00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.399
