The US Air Force has awarded Boeing a US$285-million contract to build the first 13 MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopters to replace the venerable Bell UH-1N Huey multi-role helicopter fleet that guards America's land-based nuclear ballistic missiles.
Entering service in 1970, the UH-1N Huey was originally designed as a multi-role medium military helicopter. Over the decades, it's fulfilled many missions and seen service with nations all over the world.
Today, its chief job is search and rescue, in addition to carrying out security patrols and providing transport for the US arsenal of land-based ICBMs and the bases that support the missile-laden silos.
With the new contract, the Huey fleet will be replaced by the MH-139A Grey Wolf, which is being built by Boeing as the primary contractor and Leonardo as an original equipment manufacturer that will also provide the manufacturing facilities in northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Take a look at the health influencers clicking up followers on social media these days and you'll start to notice a trend involving some variation of taking cold showers, soaking in special tubs that make the water ice-cold, or diving into freezing bodies of water. While these self-styled health gurus tout the ability of cold-water bathing to do everything from reducing anxiety to helping with depression, actual scientists have discovered something it can do: convert unhealthy white fat cells into healthy brown fat. Now, researchers have figured out how to activate this process chemically with no need to brave frigid water. The discovery could lead to better treatments for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

The honey industry involves the production and sale of honey, as well as other bee-derived products such as beeswax, propolis, and royal jelly. The industry has been growing in recent years due to the increasing demand for natural sweeteners and the health benefits associated with honey. Fortune Business Insights has forecasted the worldwide honey industry to increase at a CAGR of 5.83% from $8.53 billion in 2022 to $12.69 billion by 2029.
Within the honey market, different varieties of honey trade at different prices based on the plant species. Centauri Honey, for example, was named the most expensive honey in the world in 2021, with a price tag of €10000/kg. It is a type of cave honey obtained 2500 meters above sea level from medicinal herbs planted around the cave on which the bees feed. Its rarity, therapeutic properties, and nutritional value justify its premium price. At the same time, there are also varieties, such as clover honey and acacia honey, that are made from plants that can be found anywhere and sell for much more affordable prices.
Although honey is consumed worldwide, there are also some issues pertaining to the production and marketing of honey. In a recent study conducted by the US Food and Drug Administration, researchers found that out of the 144 samples tested, 10% were adulterated with sweeteners. Interestingly, 10% of the samples came from India and Vietnam, the primary sources of imported honey in the US. The problem of such adulterated or fake honey, especially from Asia, is the most common problem in the honey market.

Berlusconi, 86, often boasted of his friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin until Russia's invasion of Ukraine and created a storm last September when he said Putin had been pushed into the war and wanted to put "decent people" in charge of Kyiv.
Berlusconi, leader of the conservative Forza Italia party that is part of the country's ruling coalition, was speaking after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Friday accused France of jeopardising EU unity on Ukraine by organising a Franco-German dinner in Paris with Zelenskiy that excluded other European allies.
"I would never have gone talking to Zelenskiy because we are witnessing the devastation of his country and the slaughter
