Tennis Star Coco Gauff Is Just 18 Years Old, Earnings Top $3 Million
Jun. 3 2022, Published 1:49 p.m. ET
At just 18-years-old, Cori “Coco” Gauff has a shot at becoming one of the world’s top tennis players when she competes in the French Open finals this weekend. Gauff’s prize money earnings in her three-year professional career have topped $3 million.
Cori "Coco" Gauff
American Professional Tennis Player
Net worth: $2.5 Million
Cori "Coco" Gauff may be one of the youngest professional tennis player to grace the court. Gauff became interested in the sport watching Serena Williams in the 2009 Australian Open. When she was just 15, Gauff beat her idol Venus Williams in her first Wimbledon in 2019. This weekend, Gauff plays against Poland's Iga Świątek for the French Open title.
Age: 18
Career record: 105–53
Coaches: Corey Gauff, Jean-Christophe Faurel
On June 4, Gauff will play her first Grand Slam singles final against Poland’s Iga Świątek, the No. 1 seed, for the French Open title and the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen. She’s the youngest American grand slam finalist since her idol, Serena Williams, won her first grand slam title in 1999.
Gauff started watching Serena Williams when she was 4.
Gauff started playing tennis at age six, but it wasn’t until she won a “Little Mo” junior tennis tournament at age eight that she decided she wanted a career in tennis.
“I loved tennis. I was so-so about it in the beginning because when I was younger, I didn't want to practice at all. I just wanted to play with my friends. When I turned eight, that was when I played 'Little Mo' and after that I decided to do that for the rest of my life," Gauff said in an interview.
Gauff trained under Serena Williams’ coach.
When she was 11 years old, Gauff started training under William’s longtime coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, at his tennis academy in Nice, France. Mouratoglou told United Press International (UPI) that Gauff was a “one-of-a-kind player” who impressed him with her “determination, athleticism, and fighting spirit.”
"She was only 10-years-old, but you could feel she was already extremely ambitious. When she looks at you and tells you she will be number one, you can only believe it,” Mouratoblou told UPI.
Gauff beat Venus Williams in her first Wimbledon match.
A decade after she watched Williams win the 2009 Australian Open, Gauff was on the court at Wimbledon, competing against Serena’s sister, Venus Williams. Her victory over the five-time Wimbledon champ threw her into the international spotlight. She was 15 and the youngest player at Wimbledon since Jennifer Capriati in 1991.
"She did everything well today,” Venus told ESPN after the match. “She put the ball in the court, which was much better than I did. She served well, moved well. It was a great match for her."
Since then, Gauff has broken records as the youngest player to compete or win in several tennis tournaments, including the U.S. Open and Junior French Open.
Gauff’s net worth grew through her winnings and endorsements.
Gauff has amassed a net worth of $2.5 million throughout her professional career, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Much of Gauff’s wealth comes from endorsements. She signed her first endorsement with New Balance when she was 14. She also has endorsement deals with tennis racquet company Head and Italian food brand Barilla. | https://marketrealist.com/p/coco-gauff-earnings/ | 2022-06-04T00:39:36Z | https://marketrealist.com/p/coco-gauff-earnings/ | false | 1 |
England captain Harry Kane has revealed he is coming into this summer of football with a clear mind, free from the distraction of his own future being undecided.
Kane is part of the Three Lions squad who play four Nations League games in 10 days, kicking off with a trip to Hungary on Saturday.
The 28-year-old is in buoyant mood having helped Tottenham gatecrash the top four and book Champions League football under Antonio Conte.
It is a far cry from last summer when he joined up with his country for the Euro 2020 campaign with his club future up in the air, having expressed his desire to leave Spurs.
There are no such issues this year, with Kane understood to be happy with the direction the club is heading under Conte, who is expected to get more than £150million to spend in the transfer market.
Kane says his settled club life will make things easier when he pulls on the Three Lions shirt.
“Whenever you finish strongly with your club there is always a freer mind going into the international stage,” he said.
“Obviously, last summer we had a major European competition, a large tournament. So of course you have different feelings towards that than maybe you would towards the Nations League games.
“It was a fantastic summer last year in terms of the tournament. It ended obviously very disappointingly, but going into these games I feel confident, I feel free.
“We had a good finish as a team towards the end of the season and I had a good season personally, which is always great.
“So I am looking forward to carrying that on into these games. Then, as I touched on earlier, getting a nice break over the summer.”
Kane’s clear mind will make him a good bet to become England’s highest ever scorer over the next four games.
The striker is currently on 49, four behind Wayne Rooney, and would love a place in the record books.
“Of course I think it would be an incredible achievement. I was lucky enough to be playing on the pitch and actually scored when Wayne broke the record himself,” he added.
“I saw how much it meant to him and his family. I did not really think that far ahead at that stage.
“But to be where I am now – four goals behind Wayne with plenty of games coming up this year- it would be an incredible achievement.
“Whenever you are in among the names of Rooney and (Gary) Lineker and (Bobby) Charlton and players like that you are doing something worthwhile.
“But I am focused on trying to help the team. I always feel if I am doing my best for the team then the goals will come.”
Kane spent last week building his brand in America and, when appearing on the Jimmy Fallon Show, again floated the idea of becoming an NFL player when he finishes football.
But Kane would like his legacy to be winning a World Cup with England.
“I guess the ideal career would be a World Cup, a Super Bowl and maybe a Masters green jacket, if I am lucky enough to do that as well,” he said.
“Football is my first thought always and it is what has got me to where I am now. I still enjoy training and every game I play.
“I would love to win the World Cup, there is not one player who wouldn’t. It is my next opportunity to win a trophy, so really looking forward to that.
“The last two tournaments have been good, we have come really close to creating some real history that will last forever.
“We have that opportunity again at the end of the year and I really look forward to that chance to hopefully win a major trophy with our country. But there is still a lot of hard work from now until then.”

If you’ve ever found yourself longing to see what’s on the inside of those stylish renovated brick warehouse buildings in your town’s historic district, this tour is about to show you. Bright and airy, this open concept urban apartment created by the designers at Anton Medvedev Interiors offers an elegant and refreshing space, all the while maintaining a distinct industrial edge. In terms of innovation, this apartment has plenty to surprise you – the designers have found many creative ways to outfit the space for residential use by a single person or couple while retaining the desirable qualities of an industrial building, such as the open spaces, high ceilings, and interesting materials. Take a moment to explore this noteworthy apartment, appreciating the open layout, striking combination of vintage and modern, exposed elements, and raw textures characteristic of modern industrial design.
A powdery white sets the stage throughout the apartment’s interior, mingling with soft greys, blues, and silver for a breezy, light-hearted atmosphere. In this kitchen, the industrial influence is immediately apparent in the addition of the unique kitchen table with its exposed pipe construction, and in the accompanying stools which would be right at home sitting next to a drafting table in a design studio. The highlight of this space has been placed in the center of the room (under an especially lofty ceiling), adding a refreshing burst of green to the crisp white space. Characteristic of many modern industrial designs, this room features a blend of modern and vintage elements – take note of the retro fridge!
In many industrial renos, the furniture and accessories are especially valuable in redefining the space, and so a lot of attention given to every detail. This modular array of kitchen appliances is an example of a thoughtful and unique design that contributes everything necessary for a practical kitchen, but without cabinetry, moulding, trim, and other features that serve to anchor the kitchen appliances in place. Instead, this design focuses on the effortless creation of a kitchen within the large room, not attempting to cover up the character of the original space.
Large, multi-pane windows cast sunlight into this fresh living room space, with the kitchen visible at the far end of the long room. The soft hues of the space establish a nurturing environment, with a bit of urban edge supplied by wire lamp cages and the industrial metal-on-wood design in the side table.
Leading to the spot between the kitchen and living room space, this entrance hallway is a notable feature in the apartment’s design. Attention is given to the multi-pane windows so typical of warehouse architecture, and a series of glass lamps with exposed bulbs serve to draw attention to the height of the room.
Along the entrance hallway, you can see how a grey curtain has been installed as a flexible partition for the bedroom. When open, the bedroom is visible from the hall, kitchen, and living room, but the curtains can be drawn to completely close off the space. Highlighting the wooden beam and wooden window frame, this bedroom is an example of an innovative design that works to emphasize the unique industrial features already present in the space.
Fresh, clean, and utterly minimal, this bedroom relies on nothing more than the purity of white and the abundance of texture to create a rich sensory experience. Note the exposed radiator and wooden canvas frame mounted on the wall – with little else to distract the eye, these seemingly effortless features make a great contribution to the edgy, industrial feel of the room.
For lovers of a modern industrial aesthetic, it doesn’t get any better than this bathroom. Still in a clean white, the space includes a vintage pedestal tub and suspended shower curtain rod to complement the old-fashioned tub, with a towel rack made of exposed piping and another set of those stylish wire cage lamps. Brick covers three sides of the room, with a shiny white wall tile doing little to disrupt the pure white theme at the far end.
Again, raw textures make a stylish appearance in this sink and mirror set-up, with rough wood adding edge to the elegant air in the bathroom. The multi-pane window frame has been preserved, this time given translucent panes to provide privacy in the bathroom, while still allowing light to enter this interior, window-less space. In this image, you can also observe the detailing in the braided moulding that runs along the ceiling juncture of the entire apartment – another common trait of modern industrial designs as it serves to draw attention to the impressive height of the space.

CHICAGO (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt came in on a tear, then helped set the Cardinals on course toward a lopsided victory. He had plenty of help, too.
Goldschmidt homered to extend his hitting streak to 25 games, Corey Dickerson went deep twice and the St. Louis Cardinals routed the Chicago Cubs 14-5 on Friday.
Nolan Gorman and Lars Nootbaar also connected as the Cardinals rolled to their fourth win in five games.
Goldschmidt hit a three-run drive in the third for his 12th home run. The six-time All-Star closed in on his career-high 26-game hitting streak with Arizona in 2013 and extended a personal best by reaching base in his 39th consecutive game.
Goldschmidt has 10 homers and 36 RBIs in his last 22 games, a stretch that began May 11,. He has a National League-leading .349 average and 47 RBIs, tied for the NL lead with the Mets’ Pete Alonso.
“It’s fun because of the way he prepares,” manager Oliver Marmol said. “You get rewarded when you’re preparing the way he is — everything that goes into the video work and just his cage routine and just keeping his body fresh.”
Dickerson, batting .183 coming in, sparked a five-run fourth against Marcus Stroman (2-5) when he lined a tiebreaking solo shot to right for his first homer. He combined with Nootbaar for back-to-back solo homers in the against Frank Schwindel, who took the mound in the ninth after starting as the designated hitter.
Gorman launched a long three-run drive in the fourth to make it 9-4. Called up from Triple-A Memphis on May 20, he has three homers and a .361 average through his first 11 major league games.
Tommy Edman singled three times and scored three runs. Harrison Bader and Nolan Arenado each had two hits. Bader — celebrating his 28th birthday — also scored twice.
Miles Mikolas (4-3) allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings. Zack Thompson held the Cubs to one run and three hits the rest of the way, and picked up the save in his major league debut. The 24-year-old left-hander grew up about 65 miles northeast of Indianapolis in Selma, Indiana. He said when he envisioned as a kid getting the final out in the World Series, it was at Wrigley Field. And he got to make his debut at the famed ballpark with his parents on hand.
“I dreamed of this day my whole life and to do it here at Wrigley means a ton,” he said.
STROMAN STRUGGLES
Stroman, coming off a string of strong starts, got pounded for a career-high nine runs and 10 hits in four innings. The right-hander had a 1.80 ERA in his previous five outings.
“Command was a little off, but I think they were on today,” Stroman said. “They just took really good swings and I don’t think I had a good game, so just those two combinations.”
Patrick Wisdom hit a three-run homer in the first and RBI single in the seventh. Rookie Christopher Morel extended a club record by reaching base in his first 17 games, when he singled and scored in the third. But the Cubs had their three-game win streak snapped.
TRANSACTIONS
The Cardinals shuffled their bullpen, recalling right-hander Johan Oviedo and selecting Thompson’s contract from Triple-A Memphis. They optioned lefty Matthew Liberatore and righty Kodi Whitley to the minor league club.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cardinals: 2B Gorman was back in the lineup as the designated hitter after missing the previous three games because of lower back tightness. … OFs Tyler O’Neill (right shoulder impingement) and Dylan Carlson (strained left hamstring) were to begin rehab assignments — O’Neill with Triple-A Memphis and Carlson with Double-A Springfield.
Cubs: C Willson Contreras was out of the lineup after being hit in the left ankle by a pitch Thursday, though he was available off the bench. … RHP Adbert Alzolay (strained right shoulder) was to resume playing catch in Arizona. He is on the 60-day IL.
UP NEXT
The five-game, four-day series continues with a split doubleheader. The Cubs plan to have RHP Matt Swarmer (0-0, 1.50) start the first game and righty Caleb Kilian — acquired from San Francisco last season in the deal that sent former MVP Kris Bryant to the Giants — make his debut in the nightcap. The Cardinals will have right-handers Andre Pallante (1-0 1.07) and Johan Oviedo start, though the order was to be determined. Oviedo has not pitched in the majors this season.

(WGHP) — In her medical absence from “The Wendy Williams Show,” six-time Emmy-nominated talk show host Wendy Williams has been fighting to take back control of her bank accounts.
The daytime talk show announced in October 2021 that Williams had experienced “serious complications” from Graves’ disease and a thyroid condition. The show continued on without the titular host, instead featuring guest hosts.
Attorney La’Shawn Thomas told The Hollywood Reporter that Williams asked Wells Fargo for her bank statements so she could switch banks over suspicions about her former Wells Fargo financial adviser Lori Schiller.
Wells Fargo refused and put a temporary hold on Williams’ account, claiming that she was “incapacitated” and a “victim of undue influence and financial exploitation,” before filing a petition for guardianship, according to Variety. Williams says she fired Schiller, but Wells Fargo continued its refusal to give her full access to her accounts.
Williams and Thomas have denied any claims that she is not well enough to look after her own money. During her time away from the show, Williams has “employed holistic health professionals to help her reach optimal health during her treatment of Graves’ disease and thyroid concerns,” Thomas said in a statement obtained by Variety.
Wells Fargo issued a statement at the time in an apparent effort to address Williams’ concerns that she would be unable to pay her mortgage and employee wages.
“Wells Fargo’s priority is the financial well-being of Ms. Williams and the preservation of her privacy,” the bank said. “As we have expressed to the Court, Wells Fargo is open to working with Ms. Williams’ counsel to release funds directly to her creditors for bills historically and regularly paid from her accounts.”
A temporary guardian was appointed in March, and, in May, a New York judge appointed a new guardian in a move that effectively removed Wells Fargo from operational control of Williams’ funds, Deadline reports. The new guardian’s identity has not been publicly revealed.
Despite the update, Williams and her attorney continue to push back.
“Please be advised that Wendy is not in agreement with the appointment of a financial guardian by the court. Wendy has been very clear that she does not want a financial guardian to tell her what she can and cannot do with her money” Thomas said according to Page Six. | https://www.nbc4i.com/news/u-s-world/talk-show-host-wendy-williams-placed-under-court-ordered-financial-guardianship/ | 2022-06-04T00:55:39Z | https://www.nbc4i.com/news/u-s-world/talk-show-host-wendy-williams-placed-under-court-ordered-financial-guardianship/ | true | 30 |

HONOLULU (AP) — A judge has set a new sentencing date for former Hawaii state Rep. Ty Cullen, who earlier this year pleaded guilty to one count in connection with his acceptance of bribes when he was a lawmaker.
He’s now due to be sentenced on Oct. 20 instead of July 5. Cullen's attorney, Birney Bervar, declined to comment.
Former Senate Majority Leader Kalani English, who also pleaded guilty in a related case, is still scheduled to be sentenced on July 5.
The two Democrats each face up to 20 years in prison, but their sentences will depend on various factors. It's possible they will get less because they pleaded guilty early.
Cullen resigned his House seat representing Waipahu less than an hour before prosecutors announced the allegations in February. He entered a guilty plea the following week.
His plea agreement with prosecutors says he accepted cash payments from a business owner identified as “Person A” dating as far back as 2014. That year, Cullen received $22,000 worth of casino chips from the business owner during a trip to a wastewater conference in New Orleans.
The following year, Cullen introduced a bill as a favor to “Person A” that provided for a feasibility study and pilot project for the collection and treatment of wastewater, the agreement said. The measure resulted in “Person A's” industrial services company receiving a subcontract.
The agreement says the business owner gave Cullen four cash payments totaling $23,000 on separate occasions from September 2019 through March 2020.
Cullen has pleaded guilty to one count of honest services wire fraud. He's agreed to forfeit property he gained from the bribes. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Hawaii-ex-lawmaker-gets-new-sentencing-date-in-17218870.php | 2022-06-04T01:11:53Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Hawaii-ex-lawmaker-gets-new-sentencing-date-in-17218870.php | true | 12 |
As Friday draws to a close in Kyiv and in Moscow, here are the key developments of the day:
It's the 100th day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with no end in sight to the war. The fighting has killed thousands, forced millions to flee the country and left Ukrainian cities in ruins. Both Russia and Ukraine have claimed some successes and losses. In recent weeks, Russia has focused its efforts in the east and south, now controlling one-fifth of Ukraine. In the eastern Donbas region, Russian troops are making gains in a grinding artillery battle as Ukraine awaits new shipments of longer-range and heavier weaponry from the West. The war has had global ripple effects, and cease-fire negotiations have stalled.
More than 2 million Ukrainians have crossed back into the country since the heaviest violence shifted away from the capital, Kyiv, and other population centers. The European Union's border agency, Frontex, said now more people have started going back to Ukraine than are leaving. But the United Nations refugee agency still says Ukrainians are experiencing "the largest human displacement crisis in the world today," with 7.1 million people displaced within Ukraine and more than 6.5 million refugees.
Russian troops occupying the Ukrainian city of Mariupol are still detaining civilian men and sending them to overcrowded camps in the area, according to the city's Mayor Vadym Boichenko. He told reporters in Kyiv that 100,000 residents remain in his devastated port city, now under full Russian control. Boichenko, who fled before Russian forces captured Mariupol, says food and drinking water are scarce and there's no electrical power or cellphone service. Thousands of bodies are buried in shallow, makeshift graves.
Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the West of "shifting the responsibility" on Russia for a looming global food crisis. Russian forces have occupied much of Ukraine's coastline, but the Kremlin blames the blockages of food shipments on Western sanctions and on Ukraine's defensive mining of Black Sea ports. After a meeting with Putin, Senegal's President Macky Sall, who leads the African Union, tweeted that Russia's leader "expressed readiness to facilitate" wheat exports. Speaking to state TV, Putin said Russia wouldn't attack grain shipments if Ukraine demined the waters, or that exports could go through Belarus, which would require lifting of sanctions on that country.
The European Union stepped up sanctions on Russia, including against Russian military commanders the bloc describes as the "butchers" of Bucha and Mariupol, cities where Ukraine blames Russian forces for atrocities. The new blacklist also includes former gymnast Alina Kabaeva, described as "closely associated" with Putin; the adult children of Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov; and Arkady Volozh, who immediately stepped down as CEO of Russian tech giant Yandex. All this came a day after the U.S. rolled out new sanctions on Russian officials and oligarchs.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado — The White House is concerned parents may make dangerous choices because of the ongoing formula crisis.
Chriten Linke Young, Deputy Assistant to the President for Health and Veterans Affairs said in a Zoom interview with News 5 that watering down formula or attempting to make homemade formula is dangerous.
"So, if you have any questions you should talk to your doctor about the right choice for your baby and your family," she said.
The third delivery of infant formula from Europe arrived via the Operation Fly Formula Mission on Wednesday. Linke Young said that some product labels may look unfamiliar to parents, but should have confidence that the formula is safe.
"I’m a parent myself, I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my second baby," she said. "So, absolutely we recognize that that can be a challenging transition to make, but parents should have confidence that the formula they find on US store shelves is safe.”
In addition to the overseas shipments, Linke Young notes that the Food and Drug Administration has been working with domestic infant formula companies since to increase production the Similac recall was first announced in February.
“We have seen that really pay off over time," she said. " By the beginning of May, we had more infant formula coming off of US production lines in total than there was before, before the recall because other manufacturers have been able to step up and work with the FDA to operate their facilities 24/7.”
Abbott Laboratories, which manufactures Similac, announced in May that it planned to restart its plant in Sturgis, Michigan early this month. The company noted that it could take an additional six to eight weeks after that restart before the formula returns to store shelves.
The US Department of Agriculture gives money to states to help low-income families to buy infant formula through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).
Many states, including Colorado, have signed exclusive purchase agreements with the formula manufacturers in exchange for selling those products at a discount. As a result, many WIC clients must purchase specific brands of formula in specific sizes.
The USDA announced a waiver last week that will allow WIC clients to access infant formula from different companies and in different sizes.
Approximately 60,000 families in Colorado purchase infant formula through Colorado WIC.
"Colorado WIC is temporarily making other brands of formulas, such as Earth's Best, Similac, Gerber, imports, and store brands available as Colorado WIC-allowed options and allowing larger container sizes under a USDA waiver," explained Maria Livingston, a spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
CDPHE, the Colorado Department of Human Services, and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office recently launched a new website that is updated with the latest guidance and resources concerning the formula shortage and the state’s response.

Srinagar, June 3: The body of a labourer killed on Thursday evening in Budgam was sent to Patna Bihar on Friday while arrangements for the body to be flown were made by authorities. “The body was sent to Patna in a flight,” a senior government official told Greater Kashmir. “ Two other labourers accompanied him.” The official said that air tickets from Srinagar to Delhi and then to Patna were arranged by the authorities. “His ex-gratia case has also been taken up for perusal.”
On Thursday evening , a non-local labourer identified as Dilkhush Kumar (18), son of Narayana Rishidev of Bihar was shot dead by terrorists in Magraypora area of Chadoora in Budgam. Another labourer identified as Goria, a resident of Gurdaspur Punjab was injured.
The labourer was killed hours after a bank manager was shot dead in Kulgam district of southern Kashmir on Thursday evening.
This was the third attack on workers from outside Jammu and Kashmir in less than 24 hours and is the latest in a series of targeting civilians in recent weeks. A street vendor from Bihar and a carpenter from Uttar Pradesh were shot dead on October 16. | https://www.greaterkashmir.com/kashmir/slain-labourers-body-flown-to-his-hometown-in-bihar | 2022-06-04T01:27:32Z | https://www.greaterkashmir.com/kashmir/slain-labourers-body-flown-to-his-hometown-in-bihar | false | 1 |

“AI can actually predict pretty accurately when people are gonna die,” Dr. Steven Lin says.
Yes, you read Dr. Lin correctly.
There is a sophisticated computer model that can estimate a patient’s chance of dying in the next year. It’s being used at a Stanford hospital to encourage important end of life care conversations and decisions.
But would you want to know if an algorithm predicted when you might die?
“It would be important for me to know some of the baked in equity issues … in algorithms,” Yolonda Wilson, associate professor of Health Care Ethics at Saint Louis University says.
“I want to be clear about the kind of coding and how the algorithm arrived at that decision.”
Today, On Point: Ethics and AI. It’s episode II of our special series Smarter health.

Part I
MEGHNA CHAKRABARTI: I’m Meghna Chakrabarti. Welcome to an On Point special series: Smarter health.
An algorithm doesn’t raise its hand and pledge the Hippocratic oath. Clinicians do. We are the ones who pledge the oath. That means we’re responsible for the algorithm as well.
CHAKRABARTI: Episode two: The death predictor. Imagine the scenario. A woman, in her early forties. A mom of three. She lives with her family in Silicon Valley. She’s not a tech titan or a coder. She’s a restaurant manager. Quite frankly, it doesn’t really matter what her job is. What matters is that she’s sick. Since this is a hypothetical scenario, we’ll call her hypothetical Helen.
Helen is suffering from a mysterious infection. She collapsed at home and was taken to Stanford University Hospital. The ER team is able to get Helen’s infection under control. It’s not COVID, but Helen’s infection was severe. She’s still weak, and is not yet ready to go home. So, she’s admitted to Stanford Hospital. A few days later, just before 8 a.m., Helen’s doctor is about to start her morning rounds when she notices a new alert in Helen’s electronic health record.
It’s from an algorithm. The tool has scanned Helen’s health records and made a prediction. The algorithm predicts that within the next 12 months, there is a very high chance that Helen will die.
The doctor stands there, looking at the alert. Her eyes glance over to Helen, in her room across the hall. And then back to the screen, to the algorithm’s mortality prediction there in Helen’s health record.
What should the doctor do? Hypothetical Helen is not a real patient, but her scenario is based on very real technology that’s currently in use at Stanford Hospital.
DR. STEVEN LIN [Tape]: AI can actually pretty accurately predict when people are actually going to die.
CHAKRABARTI: This is Dr. Steven Lin. He’s a primary care physician and head of the Stanford Health Care AI Applied Research Team. A few years ago, a team at the university’s Center for Biomedical Informatics Research developed a tool to make these mortality predictions. And Dr. Lin’s group helped implement it at Stanford Hospital.
DR. LIN [Tape]: Some of our partners built these really, really accurate models for thinking about if a patient is admitted to Stanford Hospital, what is their risk of passing away in the next month? Three months, six months, 12 months?
CHAKRABARTI: If you’re a computer scientist, the tool is a highly complex algorithm that scours a patient’s electronic health record and calculates that person’s chance of dying within a specified period of time. If you’re in hospital administration, it’s the advance care planning, or ACP model. For the rest of us, and for Helen, it’s a death predictor.
The ACP model was launched at Stanford Hospital in July 2020. It’s been used on every patient admitted to the hospital since then, more than 11,000 people. And in that time the model has flagged more than 20% of them. The tool is intended to help doctors decide if they need to initiate end of life care conversations with patients.
DR. LIN [Tape]: These are patients that are admitted for anything. We want to know what their risk of having adverse outcomes and passing away are, so that we can prioritize making sure that they have advanced care plans in place. So that their wishes are respected.
CHAKRABARTI: The ACP model is only as useful as it is accurate. Dr. Lin says the model’s accuracy depends on the prediction threshold it’s asked to meet. At Stanford, it’s asked to flag patients who have the highest likelihood of dying within the next year. Or, the top 25th percentile of predicted 12 month mortality risk. As Lin puts it, for those patients, one validation study found that 60% of the patients flagged by the model did, in fact, die within 12 months.
Stanford, though, has not yet done a randomized controlled trial of the tool.
So how does the ACP model work? It’s a deep neural network that evaluates more than 13,000 pieces of information from a patient’s medical records within 24 hours of a patient being admitted to Stanford Hospital. It looks at everything from age, gender, race, to disease classifications, billing codes, procedure and prescription codes, to doctor’s notes. And then it generates a mortality prediction.
DR. LIN [Tape]: But what do we do with that data? And so one potential use case for this is to really improve our rates of advance care planning conversations.
CHAKRABARTI: Advance care planning is woefully inadequate in the United States. Palliative care is even harder to access. The National Palliative Care Registry estimates that less than half of the hospital patients who need palliative care actually receive it. Dr. Steven Lin says ideally, end of life care conversations would happen with all hospitalized patients.
But time and resources are limited, so not every patient gets to have that talk with their doctor. By identifying the patients at highest risk of dying within the next year, Lin says the model provides a way to prioritize which patients need that advance care planning conversation the most.
DR. LIN [Tape]: Most people say that they have wishes regarding their end of life care, but only one in three adults has an advance care plan. And if we can identify those at highest risk, then we can also prioritize those discussions with those individuals to make sure that their wishes are respected. If they weren’t able to make decisions for themselves, if they were to get really sick.
CHAKRABARTI: Which brings us back to our hypothetical patient, Helen. And back to her care team.
Helen doesn’t know it, but when the model processed her medical records, it found that some of her blood test results had pre-existing health conditions.
Along with a diagnostic ultrasound of her urinary system, history of bladder disease and the difficulties she had breathing following a previous surgery, along with the number of days she spent in the hospital this time, all that together puts the 40-year-old mom of three at very high risk of dying in the next year, according to the model. It also surprises her doctor.
DR. LIN [Tape]: As exciting as AI and machine learning are, there are many ethical and also health equity implications of artificial intelligence that we are now beginning to realize, and really studying and trying to find ways to to mitigate them.
CHAKRABARTI: Questions like, When should the model flag a patient? At Stanford, it’s only that highest risk category we mentioned. In the future, other institutions might choose a different threshold. What should the human caregiver do with that information? Who else should know? What if the physician disagrees with the prediction? What if the model is wrong?
Dr. Lin’s team helped develop some of the protocols in use at Stanford. When patients are flagged by the model, the care team is asked to have a conversation with the patient using the Serious Illness Conversation Guide, a template for Advanced Care Conversations. Developed by Ariadne Labs, the organization founded by the author physician Atul Gawande.
The guide suggests that doctors ask for a patient’s permission to have the conversation, to talk about uncertainties, and frame them as wishes. Such as, Helen, I wish we were not in this situation, but I am worried that your time may be as short as one year. It also suggests asking patients, Does their family know about their priorities and wishes?
The guide also says, Allow for silence. But there are many more questions than one conversation guide can answer. Dr. Steven Lin says they’re the questions that should concern all of American health care, as artificial intelligence tools permeate deeper into the system.
DR. LIN [Tape]: How do patients react when they are flagged by the model as being high risk of X, Y and Z, or being diagnosed with X, Y, and Z? How do human clinicians handle that?
What’s their trust in the AI? And then very, very importantly, what are the equity implications of data driven tools like artificial intelligence when we know that the data that we have is biased and discriminatory, because our health care systems are biased and discriminatory?
CHAKRABARTI: Finally, as a once and future patient myself, my mind wanders back to that searingly human moment, in hypothetical Helen’s case. The moment when the doctor first sees that alert, when she looks at Helen lying in bed, still hooked up to medical monitors, wanting to go home.
Will the doctor tell Helen that her death prediction came from an algorithm at Stanford? That’s left up to the attending physician’s discretion. Will Helen want to know? Would you? When we come back, two bioethicists will give us their answer to that question, and they’ll explore other big ethical fronts, as AI advances further into American health care. This is On Point.
Part II
CHAKRABARTI: This is On Point. I’m Meghna Chakrabarti. And we’re back with episode two of our series Smarter health. And today, we’re exploring the deep ethical questions that instantaneously arise as artificial intelligence permeates deeper into the American health care system.
With us to explore those questions is Glenn Cohen. He’s faculty director at the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics at Harvard Law School. Professor Cohen, welcome to you.
GLENN COHEN: Thank you for having me.
CHAKRABARTI: Also with us is Yolonda Wilson. She is associate professor of health care ethics at Saint Louis University, with additional appointments in the Departments of Philosophy and African American Studies. And she’s with us from Saint Louis. Professor Wilson, welcome to you.
YOLONDA WILSON: Thank you for having me today.
CHAKRABARTI: Well, let me first start by asking both of you your answer to that question that we ended the last segment with. If indeed you were in a situation where an algorithmic model predicted your chance of mortality in the next year, would you want to know that it came from an algorithm?
WILSON: I absolutely would want to know.
CHAKRABARTI: And Professor Cohen, what about you?
COHEN: I also agree. So, in the law of informed consent, there’s an idea about materiality. We want to disclose things that are material that matter to patients in terms of the decisions they make. And when I think about myself, about my planning and the like about this, being told, Oh, well, it’s a hunch I have or I’ve seen a million patients like this.
I might react very differently to the information. We looked at 13,000 variables, right? We have this mountain of evidence behind it. So I think the more information being given to a patient, the more secure they can be in the information, the more they can organize their life accordingly.
WILSON: And I think it would be important for me to know some of the baked in equity issues. For example, in algorithms that, you know, I want to be clear about the kind of coding and how the algorithm arrived at that decision. So that’s an unqualified yes for me.
CHAKRABARTI: Interesting, because I’m not sure where I fall on the spectrum. I’m not sure I would want to know. Because I think it might distract me from the next steps in care. But we can get back to that in a moment. I think the fact that the three of us feel differently about it is indicative of the complexities that immediately arise when we talk about AI and its impact on health care, health care, decision making and ethics.
So here’s the first major ethical issue. Algorithms are obviously very data hungry, and they need vast amounts of patient data to train on. So where does that data come from? Who are those patients? Now, I should say that for the advance care planning model, Stanford University did tell us that the training data came from what’s called the Stanford Translational Research Integrated Database Environment.
That’s a trove of past patient records. So the ACP team used about 2 million pieces of data from patients who had been treated between 1995 to 2014 at two of Stanford’s biggest hospitals. The university also told us that all of the data used to develop the model was approved by an institutional review board.
So that’s where the training data came from for the death predictor. But now, as we’ve talked about, it’s being used on every patient, no matter who they are, who comes into Stanford Hospital. So, Professor Wilson, what ethical questions does that raise for you?
WILSON: Well, certainly there are health equity questions, right? I mean, the Stanford patient population has a very specific patient population. And to the extent that other people don’t fit neatly into the kind of abstract Stanford patient, then you may see some variances that the algorithm doesn’t account for. No, we’re not talking about algorithmic development yet.
But that doesn’t account for, also, people make decisions about which data points are worth investigating, and worth thinking about. And so there are places for important information to be left out, to be deemed as unimportant by whatever team is involved in the data collection. I mean, anytime you have instances of data collection, you have people making decisions about what’s valuable and what’s junk.
And so those are some issues that spring to mind for me. Also, to the extent that other health care institutions decide to use this model, are they going to generate their own data sets? Or, are they just going to kind of build models based on this particular data set? And I think that’s going to look very different in Mississippi or in rural Georgia, where I’m from, than it looks in Palo Alto.
COHEN: I often say as a middle aged white guy living in Boston, I am like dead center in most data sets, in terms of what they predict and how well they do prediction. But that’s very untrue for other people out there in the world. And the further we go away from the training data, from the algorithm, the more questions we might have about how good the data is in predicting other kinds of people.
CHAKRABARTI: Let me ask both of you this. It seems to me on this issue regarding representation or representativeness, if I can put it that way, of information that goes into creating a new tool in medicine, we already have a problem, right?
I mean, there’s so much research that shows that in the process of drug development, there aren’t enough patients included in clinical trials that represent all of Americans. As everything with technology and AI in particular, there is the risk of taking a problem that already exists and just scaling it wildly, isn’t there? And is that what we face? Professor Cohen, here.
COHEN: So, I’ll say yes and no. So I’m a little bit more of a techno optimist. … So I always ask the question, with all the ethical questions, AI has against what? The one thing we know about physicians, they’re wonderful people. Many friends of mine are physicians, but they bring in the same biases that all of us do. And there’s ways in which the AI brings in a different set of biases, a propensity to bias, and that can be helpful in some instances. Right?
So one thing to think about is that when the AI looks at the data set, it really doesn’t see black and white necessarily, unless that’s coded in or it’s asked to look at it. It looks at a lot of different variables. And the variables it look[s] like may influence, and be more strongly in some directions and others compared to human decision makers. So what we really want to know is performance. That’s my question.
Does this do better than physicians who are left to decide for themselves with whom to have these serious conversations? And is the pattern of who gets the serious conversation more equitable or less equitable than if we had physicians just doing without the assistance of an algorithm?
CHAKRABARTI: So, I mean, Professor Wilson, do you think that I could, if used and developed properly, reduce the presence of that bias in health care?
WILSON: I mean, I think a lot hangs on what one means by if used and developed properly. And we know that health care professionals have biases just like everyone else. But so do people who collect data. So do people who develop algorithms. I think I’m much more of a pessimist than Professor Cohen, just in general, probably. But certainly around AI in some of the health equity ethics questions that come to my mind.
CHAKRABARTI: Well, I will say, in the more than three dozen conversations and interviews that we had in the course of developing this series, this one thing came up again and again. And I just want to play a little bit of tape from someone else who reflected those same concerns.
This is Dr. Vindell Washington. Right now, he’s CEO of Onduo. It’s a health care technology company that’s trying to develop AI tools for various conditions, including diabetes. Now, before that, he served as the national coordinator for Health Information Technology in the Obama administration. And here’s what he said about AI and health equity.
DR. VINDELL WASHINGTON [Tape]: One of the things we actually test for that and look at … as we’re delivering our service in Onduo, is our communities of color, do they have different outcomes or results?
And you wouldn’t know if your algorithm was leading you down the wrong path if you didn’t ask that question in just the most brutally honest way that you could. And I think often what people tend to do in those circumstances, is they tend to say, I have no evidence of X, Y or Z happening prior to actually looking for the thing that they’re worried about happening.
CHAKRABARTI: That’s Dr. Vindell Washington. And by the way, we’re going to hear a lot more from him in episode four of this series.
But Professor Wilson, I want to hear from you what you think about that. I mean, he’s basically saying that somehow we have to be sure that as these products get developed, that they’re even asking the right questions.
WILSON: Yeah, to me, that’s just basic. I mean, people who are developing make decisions, and don’t think about asking certain questions. So, I would absolutely say that certain questions need to be asked at the outset. But it’s also a matter of who’s in the room to even ask those questions, because I’m sure that there were questions that might not occur to some populations to ask, over others.
CHAKRABARTI: It’s not just the development of the technology that we need to be concerned about regarding health equity. It’s also in how it’s used. And I’ll just, you know, present another potential nightmare scenario to both of you, and see what you think here. Because I’m wondering, say, the advance care planning model puts out a prediction that Patient X might die in the next year and the patient happens to be a Black woman.
You have to wonder whether, like, given the biases that already exist in the United States, in our health care system, might a prediction like that lead a health care team to say, maybe not consciously, but, Is it worth offering patient X, A, B, and C if they’re more likely to die anyway? Do you see what I’m saying, Professor Wilson?
WILSON: Yes, absolutely. I mean, we already see those kinds of lapses in care for particularly Black patients and Latino patients, that in terms of pain management, in terms of certain kinds of treatment options, we already see disparities there. And so in some ways, this kind of information could provide cover for those biases, right? Like, Oh, I’m not biased. I’m just going where the data lead leads me to go.
CHAKRABARTI: You know, Professor Cohen, this makes me think again at Stanford in there with their model, the algorithm puts the prediction in the patient’s electronic health record. And presumably it stays there. Are there a set of ethical concerns around that? Because I wonder how that might impact the future care that person receives when other physicians or, say, insurance companies see the prediction?
COHEN: Yes. There’s a lot to unpack there. So first, the question is, To whom this should be visible? And so part of privacy is contextual rules about who gets to access information about you. It’s one thing for the physician treating you, advising you on your end of life decision making to see it. Something very different for an insurance company, or even another physician or think about a family member, in the treatment of a family member. And these conversations.
Once this is presented to a patient, there’s a way in which the patient is going to face this, and face questions about it for the rest of their life, however long that life is. So it’s really important that the information be protected, and that the patient kind of know that the information is there, and who can see it and who can’t. So one of the big questions is, Do we need to ask you information? You know, think about your loved one who passed away, or that person in the process of dying.
Do we need their permission to use information about their death process in order to build a model like this one? Or can we say, you know what, you’re a patient record. We’re going to de-identify the data. We’re not going to be able to point the finger at you, but you’re going to have participated in the building of this thing that you might have strong feelings about.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay. It seems like this is an area in which we have two fields that obviously have some overlap, but in a sense distinctly different ethical considerations. There’s medicine and health care, and then there’s technology and computer science. So in order to explore sort of how those two fields ought to interact, we talked with Dr. Richard Sharp. He’s director of the Biomedical Ethics Research Program at the Mayo Clinic.
DR. RICHARD SHARP [Tape]: I think that AI tools really have the power to bring more people into the health care system.
CHAKRABARTI: So he’s more of an optimist here than maybe some of us at the table today. But Dr. Sharp told us that patients are already noticing what he calls a depersonalization of care.
DR. RICHARD SHARP [Tape]: And the focus of the work that we’re doing in bioethics is really going out to patients, making them aware of these trends that are beginning, and asking them what they think about these developments.
We want to be proactive and we want to solicit those opinions, so that we don’t develop health care systems that end up not aligning with the goals and interests of patients. And so I think that bioethics research can play a big role in terms of shaping the final implementation of different kinds of AI tools.
CHAKRABARTI: Well, now, you know, we did actually speak with him in episode one. Listeners might remember him from the first episode of the series, and we did follow up with him about his thoughts about the ethics, or the ethical considerations around these tools.
DR. RICHARD SHARP [Tape]: As long as those tools are aide to patients, and help to bring them to the health care system and make their experiences more efficient, I think there isn’t an ethical problem at all. But if these kinds of tools are seen as substitutes for medical knowledge as provided by an expert clinician, then I think that’s really quite problematic.
CHAKRABARTI: And here’s the point that Dr. Sharp makes that I think is most fascinating. Computer scientists and physicians, as I noted earlier, essentially have different viewpoints or mindsets regarding ethical considerations. So Dr. Sharp says it’s the computer scientists and technologists that need to adopt medicine’s ethical standards.
DR. RICHARD SHARP [Tape]: In bioethics, we talk a lot about the importance of respect for patient choice and preservation of confidentiality. All these sorts of moral principles that have for ages been sort of core to the ways in which we deliver health care.
Well, in the computer sciences and other areas, they haven’t necessarily embraced those principles. Those haven’t been core to their work. And so part of what we’re seeing is really the socialization of AI developers into the culture of medicine, and the ethos of medicine, as well.
CHAKRABARTI: That’s Richard Sharp, director of the Biomedical Ethics Research Program at the Mayo Clinic. Professor Yolonda Wilson, your response to that. What do you think?
WILSON: So, you know, I kind of beat my humanity’s drum a bit sometimes. So my actual PhD is in philosophy. So I’m a humanist by training. And so I would just kind of almost, kind of tongue in cheek say, you know, I think the medical ethicists need to be clear that they’re getting that humanistic side of bioethics training and not just what’s happening on the clinical side.
But I certainly think that the ethical issues should guide AI development data collection, and not be seen as an impediment for. And I think sometimes, in the undergraduate classroom I see this with my, you know, engineering and computer science majors who kind of have a little bit of frustration and wonder why these kinds of questions matter. And I think, we see very clearly, with this technology, why these questions matter.
CHAKRABARTI: Professor Cohen, your thoughts?
COHEN: So two things to pull out there. One is this idea of ethics by design, that the best version of this is when ethicists are involved in the design process, rather than being given an algorithm that’s already designed, ready to be implemented and say, Okay, so should we do it, guys?
So that’s the first point. The second is just to say that one of the things that I hear in the comments he just made, is this idea, and my friend … has a beautiful essay about this, about the stethoscope, the way in which technology can get in the way of a more humanistic, more physician touch experience. In the case of stethoscope, literally, there was a period of time where people put their ear to the chest of a patient, and this was with … the stethoscope. On purpose, in a sense, this was introduced to create a little bit more distance.
And there’s a way in which you can imagine the advance care planning conversation, end of life decision making, talking to a patient and suddenly looking again and showing them the numbers on the screen, and having the screen kind of intermediate this relationship. And there’s a way in which something might be profoundly lost about that humanistic moment.
CHAKRABARTI: Well, when we come back, we’ll take a look at another major ethical question. Rohit Malpani is a health consultant who leads the development of the WHO’s AI guidelines. And he asks, Who bears the responsibility and liability for AI when it’s out in the wild?
ROHIT MALPANI [Tape]: Does it sit with the producer and the designer of the technology? Does it sit with the government that selects the technology? Or does it sit with the provider of the technology? If you’re a company, once you put it out into … a health care system, you kind of want to remove yourself from having any responsibility to it. So my concern is ultimately to have an assurance that a government or a designer has done their diligence.
CHAKRABARTI: Back in a moment. This is On Point.
Part III
CHAKRABARTI: This is On Point. I’m Meghna Chakrabarti. And this is episode two of our special series, Smarter health. And today we’re talking about all the ethical considerations that come along with the advancement of AI in the American health care system. I’m joined today by Glenn Cohen and Yolonda Wilson.
I do want to hear from both of you about what questions arise when you talk about implementation, because that’s where we started this hour about. How should Stanford most ethically use information generated by algorithmic model about the chance of someone dying?
COHEN: So first of all, accuracy is everything. If you don’t have AI high confidence of its accuracy, it’s really not worth kind of deploying. You’re not ready to deploy it yet. But even if you do have good accuracy information when you use simulated data, those are small numbers of patients. Actually deploying this in a care stream might produce very different results. You might have a group of physicians who overcorrect against what the algorithm predicts. And unless you look at that and find how they actually behave, it’s something you’re going to miss from looking at it on paper.
CHAKRABARTI: What we do know for sure from Stanford, because they told us, is that regarding the accuracy question, they’ve only done a validation study so far. They haven’t done yet the sort of gold standard in medicine, the double blind randomized controlled trial. So how do we know how accurate it really is? Or the impact it’s actually having on decisions made for patients?
COHEN: That latter thing is what we really care about, right? If you put something like this in place, it’s because you think it’s going to help patients and you think it’s going to help physicians to identify the patients, to have these conversations and have better conversations. It can turn out that in reality it doesn’t do that. And if that’s true, you want to find out as soon as you can. And you want to go back and see what can be done to improve it.
CHAKRABARTI: Professor Wilson, your thoughts on that?
WILSON: You know, as I said in the in the first segment, I think I’m from a small town in Georgia in, you know, rural southern Georgia. And, you know, I think about the kind of cultural dynamics at play and expectations of how providers are going to interact with patients and what that looks like.
And whether people see physicians, or nurse practitioners or the providers with any kind of regularity, and the impact that that’s going to have in what gets lost when the doctor who delivered you, and watches you grow and watched you grow up delivers news, versus numbers on a screen show up. And I think that we need to figure out how to pay attention to those those kinds of nuances. Again, the humanistic aspect of implementation.
CHAKRABARTI: Professor Cohen, you said there were some other areas of implementation that we need to focus on.
COHEN: Yes. So one thing is just the question of informed consent, right? So here is being run, the algorithm is being run in the background. The physician is being given this information. There’s a question, it sounds like they’re leaving it to the discretion of the individual physician whether to share that it was run.
But even the question about running the algorithm. Should a patient have the right to be asked ahead of time? Is this something we would like to do in analyzing your care or not? And the patient will know that if you’re not disclosing that you’re potentially doing this right.
So do we think that a patient would have a legitimate gripe if they found out after the fact that actually this was run, they were never told it was run. And every physician they saw thereafter had this piece of information the patient never knew on the chart blinking there.
CHAKRABARTI: How much consent, though, informed consent, do we already gather from patients for other kinds of tests? Because, you know, when a doctor says we’re going to draw this blood to do some blood tests, very rarely do they actually specifically say what the tests are.
COHEN: This is a good point. ‘ll say there’s a million things that go into physician reasoning, whether it’s like medical school lectures, the last 12 patients they saw. But — and here’s where this idea of materiality makes a difference. I do think patients feel very differently about artificial intelligence, and that’s just a fact in the world. And if you know that, if you know your patients feel differently about it, maybe that creates a stronger obligation to ask them about it.
CHAKRABARTI: So, you know, there’s another area of consideration that we haven’t brought up yet. We could do several hours on just this one thing alone. And that is, given what American health care is, how does payment and insurance come into this?
Because I can imagine that AI and the kind of data it produces is an actuaries dream come true. Right? It kind of takes on this patina of authority, because it’s a calculation that may be kind of hard to overcome when it comes to deciding what care will be paid for.
WILSON: These models can become a justification for doing or not doing in ways that would be detrimental to patients. And I think that we have to be incredibly mindful of that. So it’s not necessarily that AI becomes the substitute judgment, but that it becomes the justification for certain kinds of actions. And I think that one of the elements of implementation has to include that kind of responsiveness from insurance companies or from Medicaid or Medicare.
And I could go a step further and say, you know, we could resolve some of this by having a single payer health system. But that’s not the conversation that’s on the table today. But at the very least, the reality of how people in this country obtain health care has to be a factor in thinking about implementation.
CHAKRABARTI: Professor Cohen, what do you think about that?
COHEN: So one of the things we say to make ourselves feel better about AI implementation is that the physician remains the captain of the ship. The AI gives information and putting in decision making. But the physician ultimately is the one who makes the call, even though that call is going to be skewed certain directions.
That looks very different in a world with payers who are also looking at the AI data. And even though the AI says, Let’s do X, which is the cheaper thing. The physician might ordinarily say, No, I want to do Y, which is the more expensive. If it turns out the payer says, That’s fine, but we’re only going to pay for X.
That looks very different than in a world where the physician is making freestanding judgments. So we have to think a little bit about the systems in which this is built in, how much discretion for physicians it’s important to keep. On the flip side, again, my optimist hat coming in, part of the advantage of AI, when it’s going to have the most advantage is when it’s actually telling physicians to do something they wouldn’t have otherwise done.
Right … I thought you would do this. You’re training something to do this, but I’m giving you this additional information. If we create too many obstacles following the AI, be they payment or be they liability or things like that, we’ll also end up in a situation where much of the value of AI is not realized. So I think we have to be nuanced about this.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay. One of the big questions that we’re asking in this series … is the United States spends more on health care than any other country in the world, but our health outcomes are not as good as the hundreds of billions of dollars we spend might otherwise lead us to believe. And so can artificial intelligence change that? And if so, how?
Well, we asked that question of Dr. Steven Lin, who talked to us about the advance care planning model at Stanford. And I want to emphasize that he is a primary care physician. So … when we asked him what would be the best use of AI in the American health care system, he pointed out that primary care represents 52% of all the care delivered in the United States.
But right now, AI investments are disproportionately going towards developing technologies for the narrow band of hospital care.
DR. STEVEN LIN [Tape]: I’m very concerned that the largest care delivery platform in the U.S., that is primary care, is being left behind. We need to really build tools for primary care that actually impacts the vast majority of people in this country, not just narrowly focused on specialty specific inpatient use cases that are very important, too, but really don’t benefit the vast majority of society.
CHAKRABARTI: So, Professor Wilson, the reason why I wanted to play that is because if we’re asking, you know, writ large, as billions of dollars are going in to develop AI tools for health care, and we want to offer sort of a large scale ethical framework around that investment. Wouldn’t part of that framework say some of the money should be going towards the kinds of care that can produce the greatest benefit? Well, according to Dr. Steven Lin, that’s not happening just yet. What do you think about that?
WILSON: Yeah, I mean, I think that’s going to be really important. And here may be Professor Cohen’s optimism rubbing off on me. I think that primary care is important. I mean, I agree with the doctor. And I also think, kind of broadly speaking, community health and public health are going to be the spaces where, assuming we can get this right, and again, this is Dr. Cohen’s optimism rubbing off on me, assuming we can get this right and we get all the benefits of these uses of AI, that absolutely primary care is one place they should be directed.
But also, again, broadly speaking, kind of public health and community health spaces, because I think those are going to be really important, particularly in rural areas.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay. But a few minutes ago I had a phrase that was doing a lot of work, and I think you’ll acknowledge that assuming that we can get this right is doing a lot of work right now. Yes, Professor Wilson?
WILSON: Yes. … I glossed over that intentionally! [Laughs].
CHAKRABARTI: Because I see AI health care system right now in the United States set up that has all the wrong incentives, or incentives that don’t lead in the direction of investment in technology and primary care.
COHEN: So now your pessimism has rubbed off on me, because I think a lot of the emphasis in infrastructure and investment in AI technology is making very good physicians and very good medicine even better.
Whereas most of the value proposition is in democratizing expertise, taking the expertise of pretty good medicine and spreading it not just in the U.S., but around the world. And to me, if you want to talk about alignments, that’s the kind of alignment we would see that would do a lot of good in the space.
But it’s not one that if AI is being developed largely by profit-seeking developers and, you know, capitalism and stuff like that, we’re going to see necessarily. Because the value, to show the value of that much harder and much more longer term, so I think it would be a good opportunity for government to step in to try to plug this gap a little bit.
WILSON: Wow. My pessimism has rubbed off on you! Railing against capitalism.
CHAKRABARTI: Well, somewhere between optimism and pessimism, there’s realism. And that’s not a terrible place to land. What about the question of liability? Also, when you add another tool as sophisticated as AI, and a tool that in some cases is like a black box tool, essentially, we don’t even know how it’s making the decisions. Does that further complicate the question of medical liability?
COHEN: So there’s liability at different levels. There’s liability for the people who develop the algorithms, potentially for hospital systems that purchase and implement them, even potentially for physicians and nurses who follow or don’t follow.
I’ll say on that last level, the way the tort system is set up, it encourages a certain conservatism. Because if you follow the standard of care, what you would have done in the absence of AI for a particular patient, you’re very unlikely at the end of the day to be liable.
If you deviate, you’re putting yourself in a situation where you might face more liability if an error occurs and a patient is harmed. But it’s precisely those cases where the AI is adding value that you’re probably going to want to deviate. So I do think there’s a lot of uncertainty here. And in some ways the uncertainty over liability is doing more work to effect the way in which the system is working, than actually the liability itself.
CHAKRABARTI: Well, I want to acknowledge that the vast majority of people listening to this are going to be on the patient side of things, even though we do have a lot of health care providers that listen to On Point, as well. But on that note, Stacy Hurt is a patient advocate that we’ve spoken to in the course of researching this series.
We’re also going to hear a lot more from her in episode four. Stacy is a stage four colon cancer survivor, and the mother of a son with severe disabilities. She now consults for health care companies on patient perspectives, on things like artificial intelligence and data collection.
STACY HURT [Tape]: It’s like your best friend borrowing your car. It’s okay that your best friend borrows your car. You just want to know about it. You don’t want to look out your driveway and be like, Where’s my car? And then you find out, Oh, my best friend took it. Okay, that’s fine. Same thing with data, and capturing data. Like if you’re in a clinical trial, or you’re in a study or whatever.
If you just tell me what’s happening at the beginning, I’m probably going to consent. But don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes or pull something behind my back, because we have a huge trust problem in this country right now. And you don’t want to be a part of the problem. You want to be a part of the solution.
CHAKRABARTI: We’ve talked a lot about the myriad areas in which there needs to be a lot of smart thinking about the ethical considerations around AI and health care. But for all the patients, all the regular listeners hearing this right now, do you have like a tool to add to the patient’s toolkit on how to think about how AI is going to have an impact on their health care?
WILSON: You know, we always talk about, or many of us who think about these kinds of bioethics questions, will say things like, you know, as a patient, you need to advocate for yourself. But we know that because of reasons of bias, and access to health care, what it looks like to advocate for yourself can be interpreted differently. One can be penalized for advocating for themselves.
And so I think, being your best advocate is often a pat answer at the end of these kinds of conversations. But I think that there is probably a bit more nuance involved in that than we have time to think about now. But I would say, you know, to the extent that you can, try to advocate for yourself. But again, that also puts the onus on patients in ways that I don’t think is fair.
CHAKRABARTI: Right.
COHEN: So two quick things. First, I want to underscore this idea. The Stanford case study you offered us started off with the assumption that they couldn’t give end of care, decision-making discussions with every patient. So they’re selecting who to do it with. That might be the problem in the system, rather than the AI and something worth to think about the resources for this.
But in general, when you have a patient given information and told that an artificial intelligence was involved with the decision-making, what are the questions a patient should ask? Who developed the algorithm in question? That’s number one. Second of all, what evidence do you have that the information of the device of the algorithm is good? That’s question number two.
And three, Was this algorithm trained on patients like me? And if not, are there assumptions … if we tweak some of the assumptions, a different outcome would result? Now, whether that particular physician is the person who can answer that question, they may not be, but I think that’s what a patient should think about when they’re given this information. Those are the three questions I would start with.
CHAKRABARTI: I would also phrase it as, Doctor, do you agree with what the algorithm says? And if not, why not? I mean, is there still room for a question like that in health?
COHEN: Absolutely. Or as I often do it, if it was your mother, would you follow the algorithm’s advice? Or something like that. Doctors hate getting that question, but it personalizes it in a way that I think is helpful.
CHAKRABARTI: Well, Glenn Cohen is a professor, deputy dean and faculty director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health, Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics at Harvard Law School. Professor Cohen, thank you for being with us.
COHEN: Thank you for having me.
CHAKRABARTI: And Yolonda Wilson, associate professor of health care ethics at Saint Louis University, with additional appointments in the Departments of Philosophy and African American Studies. Professor Wilson, it’s been a great pleasure to have you back on the show. Thank you so very much.
WILSON: Thank you so much for having me back.
Coming up next on Smarter health …
CHAKRABARTI: Well, coming up on episode three of our special series, Smarter health, we’re going to talk about regulation. Does the FDA, an agency built to regulate devices and medicines, have the ability to adequately regulate artificial intelligence programs? Dr. Matthew Diamond is the head of digital health at the FDA. And he says:
“We are here to ensure patients in the United States have timely access to safe and effective devices in general, and those that use the latest technology.”
But Dr. Elizabeth Rosenthal asks, how can the FDA regulate technology it barely understands?
“It probably has zero expertise at evaluating artificial intelligence. It’s never been asked to do that for devices and hardware. The FDA has even looser standards than for drugs, so they’re just not set up to do this kind of thing.”
The race to new regulations. That’s in episode three of our special series, Smarter health. I’m Meghna Chakrabarti. This is On Point.

PRESS RELEASE | LEONTEQ EXPECTS RECORD PROFITS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2022
Zurich, 03 June 2022 | Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR
Leonteq AG (SIX: LEON) announced today that it expects to generate significant revenue growth on the back of strong net trading results and to report record Group net profits of more than CHF 110 million for the first half of 2022.
Following a very strong start to 2022, Leonteq continued to focus on disciplined risk management and saw a very substantial increase in net trading results in the year-to-date compared to the same period in the prior year. This reflects unprecedented market conditions characterised by higher levels of overall market volatility, including exceptional share price fluctuations of selected large-cap companies around their fourth quarter 2021 as well as their first quarter 2022 earnings announcements.
During this time of an overall more challenging market environment for investors, Leonteq registered subdued levels of client activity in most of its regions which notably reduced net fee income as compared to the same period in 2021.
Furthermore, on the back of the year-to-date trading result, income taxes for the Group are expected to significantly exceed prior year levels.
As a result of these factors, Leonteq expects to generate significant growth in its total operating income and to report record Group net profits of more than CHF 110 million for the first half of 2022, an increase of more than 50% compared to CHF 74.4 million for the same period last year.
Leonteq will publish its half-year 2022 results on 21 July 2022.

Formal Process Initiated to Assert Próspera ZEDE's Rights
WASHINGTON, June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Honduras Próspera Inc. (US-Delaware), the promoter and organizer of the innovative special economic zone known as Próspera ZEDE, and its affiliates St. John's Bay Development Company LLC (US-Delaware) and Próspera Arbitration Center LLC (US-Texas), invited the Republic of Honduras to engage in consultations pursuant to the Investment Chapter of the Dominican Republic–Central America–United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).
Honduras Próspera and its affiliates have made significant investments in Honduras in reliance on the ZEDE legal framework and commitments made by Honduras under Honduran law, international treaties, and legal stability agreements. Among other things, Honduras has guaranteed legal stability for 50 years, and the company plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars more in the coming years. In order to draw new foreign investment to Honduras at a scale never-before-seen, Próspera ZEDE investors have been deploying a business model of delivering high integrity, high efficiency rule-of-law governance, which meets or exceeds U.S. anticorruption standards. This business model already sustains gainful employment for hundreds of local Hondurans and dozens of innovative Honduran and international businesses, and much more is planned for the years to come. Legal stability is a cornerstone of such large-scale, long-term investments.
Despite recent efforts to repeal the ZEDE legal framework, Próspera ZEDE continues to enjoy the rights it was previously granted because Honduras guaranteed legal stability for 50 years. Honduras Próspera expects the Government of Honduras to respect its legal stability commitments; and, accordingly, that the ZEDE legal framework will remain in full effect as to Honduras Próspera notwithstanding Honduras' recent repeal efforts. A failure to uphold these commitments would constitute a breach of international and Honduran law, as well as wrongful and unfair treatment of Honduras Próspera. Moreover, it would send a message to the world that no foreign investment in Honduras is secure. Honduras Próspera has sent letters to the Government of Honduras underscoring this message, and inviting confirmation that Honduras Próspera's rights will be respected. Despite repeated requests, there has been no response, while there have been misleading statements in the media that Próspera ZEDE will not be able to operate.
Honduras Próspera and its affiliates look forward to engaging in productive consultations with Honduras under the CAFTA-DR. It is not too late for Honduras to reaffirm its commitments, abide by the undertakings it made to attract foreign investment, and avoid an international investor-State arbitration. The legal team of Honduras Próspera Inc. stands ready, willing, and able to participate in good faith and hopes that Honduras will do the same.
Honduras Próspera is represented by the international law firm White & Case LLP.

Woman testifies Cosby forcibly kissed her when she was 14
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- A woman testified Friday that she was 14 when Bill Cosby took her into a trailer on a movie set in 1975, grabbed her so she couldn't move her arms, and kissed her.
'I was struggling to get away,' she said. 'It was very shocking.'
The woman, now 61, told her story in a public venue for the first time during a Los Angeles County civil trial over the lawsuit of Judy Huth, who alleges Cosby sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion when she was 16 at around the same time, in the spring of 1975.
The woman testified that she, her mother, and other family and friends were on the Los Angeles set of the film 'Let's Do It Again," starring Cosby and Sidney Poitier, where Cosby had invited them to act as extras after meeting them at a tennis tournament a few months earlier.
She said Cosby invited her alone into his trailer to help him straighten the bow tie he was wearing for a scene.
'He immediately grabbed me,' she said. 'He started kissing me, all over my face, tongue down my throat.'
Asked by Huth's attorney Nathan Goldberg how tightly Cosby was holding her, she replied, 'enough that I couldn't get away.'
After about 30 seconds she pulled free and left.
Pictures were shown in court of Cosby and the 14-year-old together at the tennis tournament, with him smiling and his arms around her. Other photos were shown of Cosby and the girl with her family on the set of the film. Huth would later meet Cosby on a different set of the same film.
Old photos from the mid-1970s have loomed large at the trial, one of the last remaining legal claims against Cosby after his Pennsylvania criminal conviction was thrown out and other lawsuits were settled by his insurer. Two photos of Cosby and Huth at the Playboy Mansion were shown during earlier testimony. Cosby has denied sexually assaulting Huth, and his attorney says the case is about her attempt to cash in on the pictures.
The woman who testified Friday said after leaving the trailer, she did not tell anyone she was with what happened with Cosby, who is not attending the trial.
'It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,' she said. 'I didn't want to ruin everything for everyone.'
They went about the rest of their day, appearing in a boxing scene for the film shot at the Grand Olympic Auditorium.
In her cross-examination of the woman, Cosby attorney Jennifer Bonjean showed a still from the film of the girl and her brother cheering in the front row next to the boxing ring.
Bonjean asked whether she had been distraught at the time.
'I probably was,' the woman said.
'Probably?' Bonjean asked.
'I was distraught when I was in there,' she said.
The woman said she did not speak of the incident until telling her husband years later, and telling her teenage daughter years after that.
Bonjean asked whether multiple media reports with allegations in 2015 about Cosby caused her to come forward and tell her story to Gloria Allred, who along with Goldberg represents both her and Huth.
The woman said one brief Allred clip prompted her to do this after she heard Cosby's denial, but said she had no intention of filing a lawsuit when she sought out Allred.
The woman is not a party to the lawsuit, but is being allowed to testify along with one other woman about her experiences for Huth's case.
Bonjean gave serious challenges to the other witness, Margie Shapiro, who has told her story several times before to media outlets and in a news conference with Allred.
Shapiro testified that when she was 19 in November of 1975, she was at the Playboy Mansion with Cosby when he gave her a pill, which she took voluntarily. She said she later woke from unconsciousness to find him raping her.
Bonjean produced a document that showed Shapiro was supposed to be in court as a defendant on the day she said she met Cosby when she was working at a donut shop near the set of another film he was making.
'I might have gone,' Shapiro said. 'If I needed to I would have taken a short break.'
Bonjean also grilled Shapiro over a matchbook that was produced in court that Shapiro said she got at Cosby's house when they stopped there briefly before going to the mansion.
Written on the matchbook was '11/18/1975, my evening at Bill Cosby's house."
'After this drugging and raping you kept a memento?' Bonjean asked.
'It was important, whether it was good or bad,' Shapiro answered.
Bonjean also challenged Shapiro over her testimony that she knew the pill Cosby gave her was not a Quaalude, a depressant popular in the 1970s, because of the coding etched on it.
She pointed out that in a 2016 interview with police she had said the pill had looked like a Quaalude and that Cosby told her it was one.
'Either I got it wrong or the detective got it wrong," Shapiro said.
One of the jurors, many of whom were not born in the 1970s, raised a hand and asked the judge for clarification on what a Quaalude was. Shapiro compared it to Valium.
Shapiro said she angrily went looking for Cosby's house days later but couldn't find it.
Bonjean asked whether it was true that she was upset because Cosby had declined to take her to the Playboy Mansion, and that she and Cosby had consensual sex at his house and she didn't like the way he treated her afterward.
'I was upset because he raped me," she said.
The Associated Press does not normally name people who say they have been sexually abused, unless they come forward publicly, as Huth and Shapiro have several times.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Ca. (KTLA) – On Thursday, Universal Studios Hollywood gave fans a sneak peak at a new augmented reality ride that will open next year at the theme park’s upcoming Super Nintendo World.
The new ride, dubbed “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge,” is being pegged as the “one of the world’s largest, most interactive rides,” according to a news release from Universal Studios.
Guests will enter the Nintendo-themed land through the iconic Warp Pipe and end up at the ride inside Bowser’s Castle, where they are promised “a multi-dimensional experience that recreates iconic environments from the Mario Kart games.”
Riders will sit inside four-seat Mario Kart vehicles inspired by the video game, strap on head mounted augmented reality goggles, and with a countdown, begin to race.
The new ride will feature augmented reality and projection mapping technology, propelling guests into the world of Mario with a “multi-sensory cornucopia of color, sound and movement.”
Just like the game, guests will be able to steer through courses underwater and in the clouds as they compete for the Golden Cup and collect coins.
The theme park says the ride will appeal to guests of all ages.
The Nintendo-themed land is set to open in early 2023, though Universal Studios has yet to announce the exact opening day.
The immersive gaming-inspired attraction will be the first Super Nintendo World to open in the United States, after first debuting in Japan in 2021.
Besides the ride, the immersive land will feature interactive areas, as well as themed shopping and dining locations, Universal Studios officials said. | https://fox2now.com/news/national/universal-studios-nintendo-world-will-feature-augmented-reality-mario-kart-ride/ | 2022-06-04T01:46:58Z | https://fox2now.com/news/national/universal-studios-nintendo-world-will-feature-augmented-reality-mario-kart-ride/ | false | 22 |

New sales data is available for Yelan and Xiao's banners, and they're apparently doing very well relative to other Genshin Impact characters in China and Japan. It is only Day 4, so the data is a bit preliminary and could be off by the time their Event Wishes are over. However, it does show that these two popular characters are doing very well at the moment.
There are some major differences in the data worth mentioning before diving into the main part of this article. First, the Chinese Genshin Impact figures only take iOS into consideration. The data is also based on what's currently revealed about it, so it's not likely to be too far off.
Second, the Japanese Genshin Impact figures are based on an overall estimate based on current sales data and some machine AI. It isn't as reliable as the Chinese sales figures, but it is still something that some Genshin Impact players might wish to see.
Yelan and Xiao's banners are doing better than most Genshin Impact banners in China and Japan
Story continues below ad
The above figures show off some iOS revenue by Day 4 (which is when this article would be posted). As of right now, Yelan and Xiao's banner in Genshin Impact 2.7 has made $15,957,392, putting them in third place.
That number will continue to rise long after this article is posted, yet that won't change the fact that it's ranked third overall in the Chinese iOS market.
The only ones that made more money in a similar timeframe are:
- Raiden Shogun's debut
- Raiden Shogun & Kokomi's reruns
It is worth mentioning that some banners have alternated placements throughout the upcoming days, so it doesn't necessarily guarantee that Yelan and Xiao's banner will be ranked third on the Chinese iOS market forever. For example, Yelan and Xiao were number one on Day 1.
So far, it's only Day 4, meaning that there are over two weeks left to monitor for Yelan and Xiao's success. As of right now, they're outperforming all but two banners.

Japanese sales figures
The first bit of Japanese here refers to the date of the banner. Yelan's banner is known to have started on May 31, 2022, and will end on June 21, 2022. The more relevant part is the second line, which is the sales forecast. According to game-i.daa, Yelan's banner is predicted to make nearly 2.877 billion yen. They calculated this forecast through:
"Statistical data, regression analysis, and machine prediction by AI."
Hence, it's an estimate based on current sales, which is evidently high enough to give such a large estimate. It's not guaranteed to be accurate, especially with over two weeks remaining. This data would fall in line with the current, more credible Chinese sales figures.
Story continues below ad
The third Japanese line in this image is the overall ranking, which puts this banner in second place out of the 30 banners' data the website has. In Japan, Venti and Ayato's banner is number one with approximately 3.201 billion yen. For reference, the current Chinese sales show the banner in third place, which isn't too far off.
Q. Do you spend money on Yelan's banner?
Yes
No | https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/news-yelan-sales-continue-outperform-major-genshin-impact-characters-china-japan | 2022-06-04T01:56:05Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/news-yelan-sales-continue-outperform-major-genshin-impact-characters-china-japan | true | 1 |
The Chicago Department of Public Health said a second probable case of monkeypox in Illinois has been identified and urged residents to be cautious — though the risk of contracting the disease remains low.
This comes just a day after health officials announced the state’s first confirmed case of monkeypox from a Chicago man who recently traveled to Europe.
On Friday, city health officials said the latest case was found in a person who had close contact with the first positive case.
A spokesman for the Illinois Department of Public Health said the second person tested positive at a state lab. But the case remains “probable” until confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — and that may not happen until Monday.
Monkeypox is a disease that can spread from animals to humans and is commonly found near tropical rainforests where animals carrying the virus live. People with monkeypox can catch the disease when traveling to regions of the world where monkeypox is endemic, according to health officials.
Most monkeypox patients can have moderate symptoms such as fever, body aches, chills and fatigue but people suffering a more severe version of the illness can develop rash and lesions on the face and hands.
People normally recover within two to four weeks of contracting the virus. However, it can be deadly for up to 6% of cases.
There were 21 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the country as of Friday evening. Illinois was one of 11 states with at least one confirmed case, according to the CDC.
The last major outbreak of monkeypox in the United States was in 2003, when a total of 47 cases, confirmed or probable, were reported in six states — including Illinois. That outbreak was the result of people having contact with pet prairie dogs imported from Ghana.

Everyone has a different learning style, but in an effort to get everyone on the same page some younger members of the Minnesota Vikings are helping their quarterback learn the team’s new offensive system in a new way.
Kirk Cousins had been using old school flashcards to help himself learn the Vikings’ new Kevin O’Connell-led offense. However, a couple of his younger targets, wide receiver Justin Jefferson and tight end Irv Smith Jr., have helped him to find a better way.
Per a story by Jori Epstein in USA Today:
As Cousins sought to memorize his new playbook, the 33-year-old quarterback created flashcards with the name of a new play or formation on one side, and a drawing on the other. He tested himself: Where can he expect his X, Y and Z receivers if he calls out each phrase? Which will motion, who’s running what route, and why?
In a show of the collaboration the offense will rely on, Jefferson and tight end Irv Smith Jr., who are 22 and 23 years old, taught their quarterback a more-modern study tactic for learning their more-modern offense: the flashcard smartphone app, Quizlet.
“Sure enough, I found out about it and I’m at home using Quizlet, and I love it,” Cousins told USA TODAY Sports. “I texted the coach who made it, and I was like, ‘Ryan: This is tremendous.’”
It’s only right that a modern offense be learned in a modern fashion, and Jefferson says that the new offense is a leap forward from where it’s been over his first two seasons in Minnesota.
“We had an old-style offense last year,” Jefferson told USA TODAY Sports. “It’s 2022. You get into a new age and move to a new generation. Adding new things to the offense definitely allows us to be more comfortable with the offense and work in different areas of the fields.”
While Jefferson was obviously very successful in Minnesota’s offense under Mike Zimmer, it has to give Viking fans goosebumps to wonder what, exactly, Jefferson can do if he’s featured in a Cooper Kupp-esque role as O’Connell seems to envision for him.
A new offense is one of the many things that we have to look forward to as this team prepares for the 2022 season, and it certainly sounds like the players are excited about what the new regime is bringing to the table. Hopefully all of that excitement will be warranted. | https://www.dailynorseman.com/2022/6/3/23153840/minnesota-vikings-younger-players-helping-old-guys-learn-new-offense-kirk-cousins-justin-jefferson | 2022-06-04T01:58:15Z | https://www.dailynorseman.com/2022/6/3/23153840/minnesota-vikings-younger-players-helping-old-guys-learn-new-offense-kirk-cousins-justin-jefferson | false | 1 |
Updated WHO recommendations for malaria chemoprevention and elimination
WHO published today in the consolidated guidelines for malaria a package of new and updated recommendations across a number of technical areas – from malaria chemoprevention and mass drug administration to elimination. The guidelines encourage countries to tailor the recommendations to local disease settings for maximum impact.
Clear, evidence-informed WHO recommendations guide managers of national malaria programmes as they develop polices and strategic plans to combat the disease; they support decisions around “what to do”. WHO also develops implementation guidance, such as operational and field manuals, to advise countries on “how to” deliver the recommended tools and strategies.
How to access WHO malaria guidance
In February 2021, WHO launched the consolidated guidelines for malaria, bringing together, for the first time, all of the Organization’s guidance on malaria in one web-based platform. The consolidated guidelines are currently available in English, French and Arabic, with other language versions planned in the coming year. WHO malaria recommendations can also be found in an easy-to-navigate mobile app. Read more about the ways to access WHO malaria guidance.
New and updated guidance
Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy (ITPp)
Malaria infection during pregnancy poses substantial risks not only to the mother, but also to her fetus and the newborn. Available evidence continues to show that intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is a safe and highly cost-effective strategy for reducing the disease burden in pregnancy as well as adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes.
In updated guidance published today, WHO has reaffirmed its strong recommendation for the use of IPTp-SP in areas of moderate to high P. falciparum malaria transmission. The recommendation does not limit the delivery of IPT-SP to antenatal care (ANC) settings; where inequities in access to ANC services exist, other delivery methods, such as the use of community health workers, may be explored. IPT-SP is now recommended for all pregnant women, regardless of the number of pregnancies; previously, it was recommended only during a woman’s first and second pregnancies.
Perennial malaria chemoprevention (PMC) and seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC)
WHO has also updated its recommendations for 2 key malaria chemoprevention strategies: seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) and perennial malaria chemoprevention (PMC – previously known as intermittent preventive treatment in infants, or IPTi). When given to young children, malaria chemoprevention has been shown to be a safe, effective and cost-effective strategy for reducing the disease burden and saving lives.
The updated WHO recommendations on SMC and PMC, published today, are less restrictive than the original recommendations; they do not specify strict age groups, transmission intensity thresholds, numbers of doses or cycles, or specific drugs. As such, they will support the broader use of chemoprevention among young children at high risk of severe malaria in areas with both seasonal and year-round transmission.
Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in school-aged children (IPTsc)
WHO is also issuing a new recommendation for the use of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in school-aged children (IPTsc) living in settings with moderate-to-high perennial or seasonal malaria transmission. The strategy and dosing schedule for IPTsc should cover children aged 5–15 years, and its introduction should not compromise chemoprevention interventions for children under 5 years of age, who are at highest risk of severe malaria.
Post-discharge malaria chemoprevention (PDMC)
WHO is issuing today a recommendation in favor of post-discharge malaria chemoprevention (PDMC). This is a strategy aimed at preventing malaria among children with severe anemia living in areas of moderate-to-high transmission after they are discharged from a hospital, when they are at high risk of re-admission or death. Through PDMC, children are given a full antimalarial treatment course at regular intervals.
Mass drug administration
WHO has also issued new guidance on mass drug administration (MDA), another chemoprevention strategy. Through MDA, all individuals in a target population are given a treatment course of antimalarial drugs, regardless of whether they are infected with malaria. The medication treats any existing malaria infections as well as new infections for a specific period of time.
The new recommendations on malaria MDA provide specific guidance to rapidly reduce the malaria disease burden in emergency settings and in areas of moderate to high transmission. They also provide guidance on the use of MDA to reduce P. falciparum malaria in very low to low transmission settings, and to reduce P. vivax transmission. The full set of MDA recommendations and supporting evidence can be found in the consolidated guidelines.
Elimination
The WHO global malaria strategy urges all malaria-endemic countries to accelerate progress towards the goal of elimination. In settings approaching elimination, interventions will be most effective at reducing transmission if they are tailored to detect and treat the residual foci of malaria transmission.
WHO has issued a new set of recommendations for the final phase of malaria elimination. Some of the recommendations are also relevant to areas that have achieved elimination and are working to prevent re-establishment of transmission. Based on available evidence, some recommendations are in favor of specific interventions (positive recommendations) and others against specific interventions (negative recommendations). The recommendations are divided into 3 categories:
-
“mass” strategies applied to the entire population of a delimited geographical area, whether a hamlet, township or district, including: mass drug administration (described above); mass testing and treatment (MTaT); and mass relapse prevention (MRP).
-
“targeted” strategies applied to people at increased risk of infection compared to the general population, including: targeted drug administration (TDA); targeted testing and treatment (TTaT); routine testing and treatment at points of entry (border screening); and malaria testing of organized or identifiable groups arriving or returning from malaria-endemic areas.
-
“reactive” strategies triggered in response to individual cases, including: reactive drug administration (RDA); reactive case detection and treatment to reduce transmission of malaria (RACDT); and reactive indoor residual spraying (IRS).

Jeff Fenech warns George Kambosos Jr he hasn't done enough in the ring to be a boxing great: 'He can hate me, say he's better than me … You don't make it from one fight'
- Aussie sporting great Jeff Fenech, 58, has cast doubt on George Kambosos Jr
- Fenech was impressed by his victory over Teofimo Lopez, but wants to see more
- Kambosos Jr (20-0) will win WBC belt if he stuns US fighter Devin Haney (27-0)
- Highly anticipated bout to be staged at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on Sunday
Australian sporting legend Jeff Fenech has warned George Kambosos Jr he must beat Devin Haney on Sunday in their highly anticipated lightweight WBC bout to be widely considered a boxing great.
Fenech, 58, who was inducted into the International Hall of Fame in 2002, was impressed by Kambosos' impressive win over Teofimo Lopez last November - but was quick to point out one victory doesn't make a career.
Kambosos, 28, who holds the WBA (Super), IBF and WBO belts, will also secure the WBC title if he stuns US superstar Haney (27-0) at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne in front of 55,000 fans.
Fenech pointed to Buster Douglas, who stunned Mike Tyson in 1990 in one of world boxing's biggest ever upsets, as a prominent example.
'What did he (Douglas) do after it? He is remembered for winning one fight,' he said.
Australian sporting legend Jeff Fenech believes George Kambosos Jr must beat Devin Haney on Sunday in their lightweight WBC bout to be widely considered a boxing great
The man dubbed the Marrickville Mauler also fears Kambosos (pictured) is buying into his own hype after he labelled himself 'unbeatable' and a 'Spartan warrior'
Kambosos Jr claimed the WBO, WBA and IBF titles with a win over Teofimo Lopez that sent shockwaves around the boxing world last November
'George has won one (major) fight against a guy (Lopez) who totally underrated him, who was totally underprepared.'
Fenech, a former WBC featherweight, WBC super bantamweight and IBF bantamweight champion, did concede it was an 'amazing performance' but stressed it was 'important not to get overly carried away yet.'
He wasn't finished yet, declaring Kambosos 'can hate me, or say he's better than me', before questioning why the Sydney raised orthodox boxer has the tendency to carry his title belts everywhere.
'I don't need my own (belts), and you know why? Because if I see the likes of Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis, they all honour me, they all know I can fight,' he told Fox Sports.
'That's when you know you've made it.'
Kambosos will have plenty of Greek and Australian fans cheering him on at Marvel Stadium on Sunday
Devin Haney can become the youngest undisputed champion in the four-belt era with victory over Kambosos in Melbourne
The man dubbed the 'Marrickville Mauler' also fears Kambosos is buying into his own hype.
He pointed to Kambosos, yet to taste defeat in 20 professional fights, stating he was 'unbeatable' and that he labelled himself a modern-day 'Spartan warrior.'
When it comes to the action in the ring, Fenech believes the first couple of rounds will be crucial.
'If George can take authority early and make Devin fight his fight, George can definitely win,' he said.
'But if he doesn't, he is in trouble. When I look at Devin Haney, he reminds me of a young 'Sugar' Ray Leonard. He's got great skills and they only come around once in a long time.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-10883471/Jeff-Fenech-warns-George-Kambosos-Jr-ring-boxing-great.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-04T02:10:24Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-10883471/Jeff-Fenech-warns-George-Kambosos-Jr-ring-boxing-great.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 2 |

A California woman already thought she was lucky when she found a free set of sofas and a matching chair on Craigslist. But that was nothing compared to the hidden $36,000 she discovered inside one of the cushions after she brought the set home. Although she excitedly screamed for her son to check out her amazing find, the good samaritan decided to give the cash back to the family who had given away the sofas.
From The Guardian:
Once [Vicky] Umodu brought the sofas home, she closely examined their condition, and that is when she noticed something odd.
There was something bulky inside one of the sofa cushions. …
Umodu unzipped the cushion and to her surprise, she discovered a stash of envelopes stuffed with thousands of dollars in cash.
"I was just telling my son, 'Come, come, come!' I was screaming, 'This is money! I need to call the guy!'" Umodu recounted to ABC7. She added that she gave the money back to the family right away, saying, "God has been kind to me and my children. They're all alive and well. I have three beautiful grandchildren, so what can I ever ask from God?"
As luck would have it, the family turned out to be good samaritans as well. When Umodu returned the cash, they kindly gave her $2,200 to buy a new refrigerator. | https://boingboing.net/2022/06/03/a-lucky-woman-found-free-sofas-on-craigslist-only-to-find-36000-inside-a-cushion.html | 2022-06-04T02:27:35Z | https://boingboing.net/2022/06/03/a-lucky-woman-found-free-sofas-on-craigslist-only-to-find-36000-inside-a-cushion.html | true | 1 |

'I'm too selfish to have kids': A refreshingly honest Stephen Merchant reveals he loves his life jetting between homes in LA and London too much to be tied down
- Stephen Merchant, 47, says he loves his freedom too much to have children
- The actor resides between London and LA with his girlfriend Mircea Monroe
- The second series of his crime comedy The Outlaws starts this Sunday on BBC1
Yes, it's true. Stephen Merchant really did get Hollywood legend Christopher Walken to destroy a real-life Banksy painting worth millions.
'It just seemed like a funny gag,' he says, laughing, having somehow persuaded the world's most famous guerrilla artist to spray-paint one of his iconic rats on a wall just so it could be painted over by the star of The Deer Hunter, who was playing a dodgy pensioner called Frank in crime comedy The Outlaws.
'I love it. Even the maddest ideas are potentially achievable, there is no locked door you can't knock on.'
Maybe not if your shelves groan with Emmys and BAFTAs, you created The Office and Extras with Ricky Gervais, have sold out stand up tours and appeared in a Marvel movie. The Outlaws, created by Stephen, won acclaim last year as a funny yet gritty BBC comedy-drama about misfits brought together to do community service.

They include influencer Lady Gabby (Poldark's Eleanor Tomlinson), security guard Christian (Gamba Cole) and nervy lawyer Greg, played by Stephen himself.
The show is set in Bristol, home town of both Merchant and Banksy, so it was apt to have Frank unwittingly splosh paint over the priceless rat as the climax of series one. 'I went to Christopher Walken in his trailer and said, "How about destroying a Banksy today?"
He knew who Banksy was. We had one shot and there it was.
Surreal as it must have been, that starry moment of destruction shows how far Stephen Merchant has come since the days in the 90s when 'I died on my a***' telling jokes at the Bristol Comedy Box.
Something about this 6ft 7in gentle giant appealed to the head of speech at the radio station XFM when he gave Merchant a job there in 1997.
The new boss was called Ricky Gervais and together they made a short film that became The Office, one of the most successful sitcoms of all time.
Fans would love an Office reunion, so could it happen? 'I'd love to work with Ricky again but I don't know if bringing back The Office is the way to do it.
'I feel that'll never be as delicious as everyone thinks it would,' he says. 'What's an office existence going to look like now anyway?
'David Brent talking on Zoom and everyone else working from their back bedrooms?'
He and Ricky both have homes in north London, so are they still mates? 'We're still in contact, but we never really socialised.
'I'm younger than him. His joke was that I was just discovering my favourite hip-hop album and he'd discovered his favourite chair. He never was one for late-night ribaldry.'
For the last four years Stephen, 47, has been with American actress Mircea Monroe, who starred in Episodes. They met at an awards ceremony, so what was his chat-up line?
'I don't operate with the line, "Hi, I'm Stephen Merchant. Would you like to see my BAFTAs?" It's not as sexy as you think. We just got talking, then we hit it off.'
Stephen with Ricky Gervais on Comic Relief. The pair made a short film that became The Office, one of the most successful sitcoms of all time
Today we're at their home in the hills above Los Angeles, a spectacular mansion once owned by the chat show host Ellen DeGeneres. While Ricky Gervais made a huge noise about conquering Hollywood, appearing as a leading man and roasting fellow celebrities as host of the Golden Globes, Stephen did it by stealth, behind the scenes.
'Most of my life is writing, really,' he says, but those credits include Life's Too Short, An Idiot Abroad and the reality show Lip Sync Battle, as well as executive producing the US version of The Office. He's been in The Big Bang Theory, Hot Fuzz, Gnomeo & Juliet and a West End play, as well as Wolverine sequel Logan.
So is he sipping cocktails by the pool with Tom Cruise every night?
'Oh yeah, I'm Mr Hollywood,' he says, sarcastically. 'I'm not hanging out with Tom Cruise every five minutes, no.
'I've encountered people like Tom Cruise and had a perfectly pleasant evening. I like him very much, but you end up with the friends that you end up with.
'Some of them are showbusiness people and some are not.'
When I ask how he and Mircea manage to run working lives on both sides of the Atlantic, he says, 'I'm lucky I don't have kids. My partner and I can do what we want, in terms of which country we're in.
'I love London and I love Britain. I also like coming here for the sun, for the people I know, for the city's creativity.'
Would he want kids?
'I've never particularly had that desire. I have nothing against children, but I'm probably quite selfish. I like the life I have and the freedom to do what I do,' he says.
'I liked writing before I was paid for it, so why wouldn't I do it all the time? Performing was always fun to me, so why would I not do that?
'I think there's part of me that's like, "Children will just stop me doing what I want." He pauses for a moment, perhaps thinking about how this may sound to others.
'I'm not saying they don't bring in any other rewards.'
The natural caution that makes him say that is reflected in his style on social media, so is he worried about cancel culture? 'It plays on my mind in the sense it'd be very sad if my career was over because of a glib remark I made on a talk show,' he says.
'The mob mentality has taken hold. When you stop letting people speak their mind, it doesn't feel healthy.
'It's the idea you can't retract or apologise, you can't learn or educate. I understand things now in a way I didn't a year ago.'
Back then he was preparing to play the Grindr killer Stephen Port in the drama Four Lives, a career swerve that won him great praise. 'I'd like to do more serious acting.
'My plan was to try to make him seem awkward and childlike, and any eeriness would come from that.' Port himself said he should have been played by someone more handsome like Kevin Bacon.
'It's funny how weirdos always want handsome leading men to play them. No! The fact is they should let us weirdos play he weirdos, and handsome leading men play handsome leading men.'
There's an irony in that, given he somehow persuaded one of the great Hollywood leading men to play weirdo Frank in The Outlaws. 'We always liked the idea there was this character like The Man Who Fell To Earth [David Bowie's movie about a stranded alien] who feels other worldly, then we reveal him to be a petty criminal, another small person among others.
'Christopher Walken was at the top of the list, because he can do funny and charming, but also scary and mysterious.'
Getting the script to him was a challenge. 'He doesn't have a mobile phone or a computer. I think we faxed him.'
Once Walken was in Britain, Merchant took him on a day trip. 'If you told the 14-year-old me, aspiring to be in showbusiness, that one day I'd visit Stonehenge during a break in filming with Christopher Walken, I'd have laughed at you.'
The Covid lockdown happened just a few days into shooting, so they chose to make another series while everyone was still there. Will they make a third?
'We're working up stories. We just have to wait for the powers to authorise it.'
The show's second series, which hits screens this week, has the community-service misfits drawn into the world of drug dealing to help their friends. It's a surprisingly sympathetic portrayal of drug dealers.
'I find the idea of demonising criminals without trying to understand what leads them there a very reductive process,' says Merchant.
'Yes, we have our Mr Big at the top of the chain [played by Dracula's Claes Bang], but otherwise it's about what has led people to the positions they have in life, the choices they've made and how they've been exploited. It all comes from a well of empathy.'
There is a laugh-out-loud moment when a character condemns 'lefty hypocrites' who buy organic vegan food but don't care where the drugs they snort come from. 'Oh, who do we think is buying these drugs that are criminalised and that people are going to jail for?'
He's talking about the middle-class customers whose money keeps gangs in business. 'It's preposterous that we're still not even having sensible debates about drug policy, and the government has just closed its ears to even the proper legalisation of cannabis.
'I'm not suggesting I have the answers, I'm just saying we can't keep pretending that it's about good and evil.'
He smiles, remembering that we also want to laugh. 'Alongside all that there's a couple of d*** jokes and me hitting my head on a chandelier, so something for everyone!'

Iowa Democrats propose caucus change in hopes of keeping ‘first-in-nation’ status
DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) - The Iowa Democratic Party submitted its proposal to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in a bid to keep its “first-in-the-nation” status.
The caucuses that Iowa voters are accustomed to would shift to something closer to a primary election, which DNC officials have stated they prefer.
Instead, democrat voters would submit written presidential preference cards in the mail or in person 14 to 28-days prior to caucus night. The proposal calls for the state party to contract with a DNC-approved vendor, the Iowa Secretary of State, or Iowa county auditors in order to tally results. Then, on caucus night, party officials would announce the results.
“There would be no moving to corners, no coin flipping, and no “in-precinct calculation of complex mathematical formulas for apportioning delegates,” according to the Iowa Democratic Party’s application to the DNC.
The application also highlights electoral competition and diversity within the party and state, something the DNC wanted more of a focus on.
20 states and territories were expected to file for the “first-in-the-nation” status.

Australian soccer has come of age on the world stage, according to former Socceroos skipper Mark Milligan, who notes a win in the looming make-or-break match with United Arab Emirates will place Australia just one win shy of making the World Cup finalists.
If Australia records those two vital victories it will confirm the national team’s fifth-straight berth in World Cup finals and demonstrate the Socceroos can hold their own in any global competition.
Australia play a must-win play-off clash with the United Arab Emirates in Qatar on Tuesday (0400 Wed AEST), needing a win to stay in the race for a place in this year’s World Cup.
The real enemy, says Milligan, is complacency.
A victory against the Emiratis would put Australia into a do-or-die fixture against South American nation Peru the following week, with the winner of that tie booking a spot in November’s finals.
Milligan, a part of Australia’s squad at the past four World Cups, says while many are pessimistic about the chances of Graham Arnold’s team after a run of just one win from their past six qualifying matches, there can be no doubt within the camp about their prospects.
“I hope people understand the magnitude of not qualifying for a World Cup,” Milligan, now an expert for broadcaster Network 10, told AAP.
“It’s so, so important. I keep hearing talk around the place that if we don’t make it, we’re probably in a good place, we’ll survive.
‘We have to make it’
“We need to be of the attitude that we have to make it and I know that’s where the players will be.
“I know they’ll feel the energy off everyone else and they need that extra positivity to help them get across the line.”
Boosting Australia’s belief was a comeback victory over Jordan in a friendly on Wednesday (Thursday AEST).
The 2-1 win was the first time in eight games during Arnold’s tenure Australia have gone behind in a match but found a way to claim victory.
In the past seven occasions since Arnold took over in 2018, Australia have lost six games where they’ve fallen behind and drawn the other.
Milligan believes that is a crucial step for the team ahead of the play-offs.
“In a one-off game if you go behind it can’t be done and dusted,” he said.
“You need to make sure that you’re there come 90 minutes and in the race because there is no second chance.”
Arnold has also talked up the importance of having over a week to prepare for the game with the squad, as opposed to previous camps where his teams have been assembling from across the globe within days of kick-off.
From his own experience, Milligan says that will be a huge bonus for Australia.
Faith, hope, determination
“It’s been a little bit of a bumpy road over the last few months but this has been a good period,” he said.
“This time of year is probably the best time of the year for international football, in terms of you have the players together for an extended period of time. You’re not getting the players in 24 to 48 hours before the game.
“You actually have that few extra days to work on the things that you want to do.
“You just have to have every faith in the boys that are over there.
“I know, having previously been in that situation, how much it means and how important it is to make sure that you firstly put on a good performance and secondly you get the result.”

Denny McCarthy hits from the 18th tee during the second round of the Memorial Friday in Dublin, Ohio. McCarthy was tied for second, one shot behind leader Cameron Smith after a 3-under 69.
Smith holds slim lead over McCarthy, Lee at Memorial — Cameron Smith believes he is playing the best golf of his life, and it shows. He is in the lead at Memorial, a tournament where the Australian doesn’t have a great history. Smith elicited one of the loudest cheers of a glorious afternoon Friday at Muirfield Village when he holed out with a downhill chip from beyond the green on the par-3 12th that carried him to a 3-under 69. He kept his one-shot lead over Denny McCarthy and K.H. Lee the rest of the day by doing what Smith does best. He holed a 15-foot putt for par on the next hole and twice made 6-foot par putts for bunker saves down the stretch.

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell says the police department’s low staffing in its sexual assault unit that has led to a backlog of dozens of stalled cases is “unacceptable.”
Harrell made his comments Thursday following a report by The Seattle Times and KUOW-FM of an internal memo that showed the unit stopped investigating most new sexual assault cases involving adults this year.
Harrell rejected the idea his administration did not prioritize sexual assault cases. But he said the current state of the unit –- and its backlog of 48 stalled cases that had not yet been investigated –- was “not where it needs to be.”
“I’m not happy with where the city is, but we will indeed make sure that we are providing optimal service, both for investigation and victim survivor support here this year,” Harrell said.
Harrell suggested recruiting retired detectives to investigate sex offenses, but said he was limited by labor agreements. He also committed to meeting within weeks with concerned victim advocates.
Increased staffing is ultimately needed across the police department, Harrell said.
Advocates for victims of sexual assaults have questioned whether the root cause was staffing, or the department and city leaders’ priorities.
Riddhi Mukhopadhyay, executive director of Seattle nonprofit Sexual Violence Law Center, said victim advocates said the memo “confirms what we’ve all been seeing.”
The police department’s “response has always been kind of slow and not as timely compared to other jurisdictions. But it’s gotten worse,” Mukhopadhyay said.
The police memo published by The Seattle Times and KUOW-FM was written by the Seattle police sexual assault and child abuse unit’s Sgt. Pamela St. John and sent in April to interim chief Adrian Diaz this April, the two media outlets reported.
The memo stated that the sexual assault and child abuse unit was so understaffed it had a backlog of stalled sexual assault case and that four detectives remained were in the unit earlier this year, as opposed to 10 to 12 detectives earlier.
The unit has since added an additional detective and plans to add another one this month.
But the understaffing means that fewer sex assault cases are referred to prosecutors, prosecutors and advocates told the news outlets. | https://www.yourerie.com/news/national-news/unacceptable-seattle-police-sex-assault-unit-low-staffing/ | 2022-06-04T02:45:59Z | https://www.yourerie.com/news/national-news/unacceptable-seattle-police-sex-assault-unit-low-staffing/ | false | 32 |
Which Home Depot pole saw is best?
If you find yourself wishing for longer arms when that dead limb is just out of reach, it may be time to upgrade your equipment. Home Depot offers a wide variety of pole saws for every level of experience and intensity of use.
When you are serious about maintaining order and a proper pruning schedule, or if you have a large property to maintain, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Pole Saw With Attachment is a good choice.
What to know before you buy a Home Depot pole saw
Pole saw power source
Home Depot offers pole saws with four options for power.
- Gas: Traditionally used by professional landscapers and tree services, gas pole saws are durable and able to handle most jobs. However, they are more expensive and heavy.
- Electric: In terms of environmental benefits, electric pole saws win the day. They plug into an outlet and are quiet, lightweight and easy to operate. However, they may not have enough power, and you are limited by the length of the cord.
- Battery: Battery-powered saws combine some of the best benefits of each category. They are a bit heavier than electric and manual saws, but not quite as heavy as those that use gas. They are more affordable, especially if you buy the same brand of battery-powered yard tools and can swap batteries among them. However, some of them have an insubstantial battery life.
- Manual: Manual pole saws are lightweight and affordable, but it can be challenging to cut larger branches or limbs.
Type of work
Homeowners and professional landscapers need different tools. Homeowners are looking to clean up a few trees, while landscapers run across thousands in their weekly jobs. With a dedicated Pro desk, Home Depot has pole saws that cater to both.
Bar length
Because you are operating the pole saw at a distance from your center of gravity, the bar length matters. Too long, and you won’t be able to reliably direct the operation, but too short and you are limited in the width of branches or limbs you can cut.
To get a good idea of your needs, take the length of the cutting bar and divide it in half. That’s about the maximum width branch you can cut with your pole saw. This number increases as the pole gets shorter. But because you have less leverage when the pole is extended, cutting capacity is less.
What to look for in a quality Home Depot pole saw
Operating instructions
In addition to providing operating instructions in the box, many Home Depot locations offer classes in everything from pruning and removing brush to making firewood from downed trees.
Easy operation
A pole saw requires oil for the bar and tension to be maintained for safe operation. Most Home Depot pole saws feature automatic oilers and easy-to-access chain tensioners. These let you get the job done with fewer breaks.
Warranties and returns
Home Depot knows your tools need to work hard. The vast majority of their product lines come with limited warranties guaranteed against workmanship or manufacturing defects.
Additionally, with just a few exceptions, Home Depot accepts returns of new and unopened merchandise for 90 days with a receipt. Don’t have a receipt? An associate may be able to find your purchase on their computer to refund your original payment method, If not, you can still make the return for store credit.
How much you can expect to spend on a Home Depot pole saw
Prices vary depending on what type of power you select and whether or not a battery or other accessories are included with the tool. Expect to spend $100-$500.
Home Depot pole saw FAQ
What is the maximum extended length of a pole saw?
A. It depends on the type of saw you select. Professional models can extend an additional 10-13 feet past their initial length.
Is there a trick to using a pole saw?
A. As with anything, more practice increases your skill.
- The longer the extension, the harder it is to cut.
- The thicker the limb, the more tiring cutting will be.
- Never use a pole saw near power lines.
- Clear a work area underneath where you’ll be cutting.
- Make sure a helper is nearby.
- Position yourself so that the branch you are cutting is as close to chest height as possible. Never cut while underneath a branch.
- Start by cutting a small groove, then use a rhythmic motion to complete the cut.
- When in doubt, ask for help or hire a professional.

Those issues are described under the caption Risk Factors in our Form 10-K and any additional updates we filed with the SEC. And any forward-looking statements made during today's call are qualified by those risk factors. Also despite our best efforts, actual results could differ materially from our expectations and the information shared on this call should be considered current as of today only.

I will now turn the call over to A.J. Kazimi, Cumberland's Chief Executive Officer, to begin the discussion of our corporate update and company performance.
A. J. Kazimi
Well, good afternoon, everyone, thank you for joining us.
As Erin noted, today, we'll provide an overall company update, along with the review of our first quarter financial results. While, the novel Coronavirus continues to affect our lives over a year after its arrival in the U.S. However, we remain hopeful. With a growing number of Americans fully vaccinated new cases of the virus in decline, it's good to see an overall reopening of our country, which is now underway.
Throughout the pandemic, Cumberland encountered the most challenging operating environment we've ever faced as a company. Our business and our clinical staff are affected as fewer patients sought elective surgeries and our access to medical facilities was substantially limited.
As a result, we adjusted our market strategies, we tooled our sales communications, and we reinvented the way in which we operate our business. Our brands were negatively impacted at times, we're fortunate to have a diversified product portfolio, which provided an overall revenue growth of 9% for the full year 2020. Now as you've previously seen, our products generates strong performances at different times during the year, which is why we always suggest that you evaluate our progress on an annual basis, as our quarterly progressions could vary.
During the first quarter of 2021, I'm pleased to report a strong financial performance despite the continued influence of the pandemic. Total revenues were 10.5 million, a 26.5% increase over the prior year period. This favorable performance was led by growth in our Vibativ and Rabeprazole brands. Adjusted earnings for the period were $1.1 million or $0.07 a share a significant improvement compared to a loss of $0.03 a share during the same period last year. And cash flow from operating activities was 1.8 million for the quarter double of the prior year period amount.
Additionally, we ended the first quarter, with over 93 million in total assets 46 million in total liabilities, and 47 million in shareholders equity. Meanwhile, we have been closely monitoring our supply chain, including the facilities that provide the raw materials, along with those that manufacture our products. And we overseeing the resulting finished goods shipped to us and then on to the warehouses that support our country's hospital and retail pharmacies.
While enrollment of new patients was limited during much of 2020, many of our clinical sites have recently reopened and resumed screening of patients for potential admission into our clinical studies. And as a reminder, we're sponsoring phase two clinical programs that evaluate ifetroban product candidate in patients with cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, systemic sclerosis or scleroderma, a debilitating autoimmune disease and aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease, a severe form of asthma.
Our plan is to await results from all of these studies before deciding on the best development path for the registration of ifetroban our first new chemical entity.
So with that overview, I'd now like to turn to Marty Cearnal. Marty is Cumberland's Chief Commercial Officer, and he's also our newly appointed President of the Cumberland Pharma Sales Corp. Marty, can you please share your update on our marketing and sales activities.
Marty Cearnal
Thank you, AJ.
During the first quarter this year, we held a successful national sales meeting to help support and equip our sales teams in their efforts to build our brands while navigating the current health care landscape. The meeting was held virtually among our sales personnel who participated from across the country.
As a reminder, we have two national sales divisions, one calling on key hospital accounts across the country and the other division, calling on select office based physicians. Our primary target markets are hospital acute care and office based gastroenterology. These medical specialties are characterized by relatively concentrated prescriber basis that can be supported effectively by our team of experienced sales professionals.
Both of our sales divisions altered many of their promotional tactics, using more electronic and telephonic communications. Additionally, we augment those activities with an enhanced internal sales capability, reaching out to hospitals and physician offices directly from our headquarters. These innovative and efficient ways to expand our reach, add new coverage and ensure awareness of our products allowed us to stay on a growth trajectory during the pandemic.
Moving to our commercial products, we were pleased to see recent publications supporting the use of our rabeprazole brand in patients with COVID-19. The health outcomes predictive evaluation or HOPE, COVID-19 registry analysis was an international study of over 4000 COVID-19 patients was recently published and showed that patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had a high risk of developing hyponatremia while hospitalized. Hyponatremia is an imbalance of the serum sodium to body water and is the most common electrolyte disorder among hospitalized patients. Severe hyponatremia has long been recognized as a direct cause of death or permanent neurological problems in hospitalized patients. The HOPE study demonstrates the high prevalence of hyponatremia in COVID-19 patients and the need to treat this electrolyte imbalance. Rabeprazole treats hyponatremia and can normalize serum sodium levels with a proven day one response helping these patients spend fewer days in the intensive care unit.
Rabeprazole is the only intravenously administered brand for the treatment of hyponatremia and is essential for patients who are incubated are not able to take medications orally, which is especially important for COVID-19 patients.
Additionally, our Vibativ product was used to help COVID-19 patients who developed these types of bacterial infections in their lungs. Vibativ is a potent antibiotic designed for difficult to treat infections is FDA approved to treat both hospital acquired and ventilator associated pneumonia that results from susceptible organisms. During the last year, we were pleased to hear Vibativ being used to help COVID-19 patients who develop these secondary bacterial pneumonias and other gram positive infections while in the hospital. We subsequently compiled a case study dossier outlining several real-world instances whereby Vibativ effectively and safely treated these COVID patients.
Recently, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have changed their reimbursement for certain procedures conducted at ambulatory care outpatient surgery centers. These changes now allow for reimbursement of certain procedures conducted at outpatient to surgery centers that were previously reimbursed only in hospitals. These ambulatory centers typically provide easier physician access and may eliminate the lengthy formulary approval process with their focus on patient throughput such centers are an excellent environment for the ready to use Caldolor product, especially since they typically do not have a pharmacist on staff.
Lastly, we continued the soft launch of our RediTrex, methotrexate line of products during the first quarter and are very encouraged by the positive feedback we've been receiving regarding this innovative delivery system. RediTrex is FDA approved for the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and severe psoriatic arthritis.
We've implemented a modest increase in our sales force to expand our coverage of the rheumatology market for this brand and created a positioning and market strategy in preparation for the full launch of the product.
Given the ongoing issues with physician office access during the pandemic, along with the need to manufacture additional product supplies, we will undertake the full launch of RediTrex, once the country fully reopens, and we have a majority of third-party reimbursement approvals in place. For that reason we're targeting the fall of 2021 for the launch. Based on the positive feedback we're receiving since the soft launch, we believe that RediTrex will be a valuable addition to the product portfolio and provide a significant contribution to our business for years to come.
That completes today's updates on our key commercial efforts. AJ I'll turn the call back over to you.
A. J. Kazimi
Thanks, Marty. I'd like to ask our Senior Director and Chief Financial Officer, Michael Bonner for the Financial Review. Michael?
Michael Bonner
My pleasure AJ. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net revenues from continuing operations were 10.5 million, a 26.5% increase over the 8.3 million during the prior year period. We also recorded an additional 0.5 in the first quarter of this year as discontinued operations associated with the return of rights to the two products that we no longer distribute. Net revenues by product for the first quarter include 5.1 million for Vibativ, 3 million for Kristalose, 1.5 million for Caldolor and 1.1 million for rabeprazole.
Total operating expenses for the quarter were 10.9 million, compared to 10.2 million for the prior year period. This increase in expenses resulted primarily from the additional cost of goods associated with our growth in Vibativ sales during the quarter.
Recall that significant Vibativ inventory was transferred to Cumberland as part of the acquisition of the assets associated with the brand. Based on the acquisition accounting, the fair value of the inventory included a significant step up over actual manufacturing cost. Future lots of the product manufactured for Cumberland are expected to have a much lower cost associated with their supply and sale.
Adjusted earnings for the first quarter were 1.1 million or $0.07 per share a significant turnaround from the loss of 0.4 million, a loss of $0.03 per share during the prior year period. Please note that the adjusted earnings calculation does not include the benefit of the $0.5 receive for the return of two products we no longer distribute. It also excludes the benefit of the Vibativ cost of goods sold during the quarter, which was paid for as part of the products acquisition.
As a reminder, the financial terms for the Vibativ acquisition included a $20 million payment upon closing. This initial payment was funded by revolving credit facility. We subsequently provided a $5 million milestone payment and are providing royalties based on products.
From the products launch in late 2018 through the end of the first quarter of 2021, the product has delivered a total cash contribution of approximately 23 million, which we believe compares favorably to the 25 million in upfront payments to acquire the brand.
We accounted for the Vibativ acquisition as a business combination, a total of 34 million and new assets were added as a result of the acquisition, including $21 million in inventory, 12 million of intangible assets and 1 million of goodwill due to amortization of intangibles and sales of inventory. The value of these assets totaled 24 million at the end of the first quarter.
Net income was 0.2 million for the quarter, a significant improvement of the $1 million loss in the prior year period. Cash flow from operating activities was 1.8 million during Q1 of 2021, which was double the 0.9 million for the prior year period.
Turning to our balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, we had 93.3 million total assets, including 24.9 million in cash and equivalents. Liabilities totaled 46.5 million, including 15 million on our current facility. Total shareholders equity was 47 million at the end of the quarter.
Meanwhile, as we previously announced, Cumberland received the funding of a loan in the amount of 2.2 million at the beginning of the second quarter 2020 pursuant to the paycheck protection program under the Federal CARES Act.
The resulting loan hoped for the need for any employee layoffs or furloughs as we experienced the impact and uncertainty of the pandemic. The proceeds of the loan were used to fund payroll and related qualifying expenses.
As a result, at the end of 2020, we submitted a request for the loans forgiveness. The request was approved by a lender and is pending the approval of the U.S. Small Business Administration. The loan is listed on our balance sheet as an other current liability and we will eliminate the debt and record it as other income if and when the forgiveness is fully approved.
Additionally, during the pandemic, we began to decrease the number of shares repurchased. During the first quarter of 2021, we were purchasing an additional 155,000 Cumberland shares. These repurchases include those on the open market as well as those needed to fund the taxes associated with employee vested restricted shares.
Finally, I like to note the Cumberland has over 44 million in tax net operating loss carryforwards resulting from the prior exercise of stock options.
That completes our financial report. I'll turn it back over to you AJ.
A. J. Kazimi
Okay, thank you, Michael. Well, as we reported today, Cumberland was able to deliver another successful quarterly performance in spite of the challenges of operating during the pandemic. And as I stated earlier, we're grateful we're able to keep our business operating and our organization intact during those difficult times. We once again posted solid year-over-year revenue growth and improve cash flow from operations, which speaks to the strength of the business, the diversity of the product portfolio and the steadfastness of the commercial organization.
Over the past year, when we quickly adjusted market strategies that are promotional activities and we reinvented the way we interact with our customers and support the patients who need our medicines. We've continued to expand our product portfolio through a series of successful business development initiatives. And we now feature seven FDA approved brands, along with a robust pipeline of new product candidates in late stage development. Given what we're seeing with the markets we serve, we do anticipate double-digit revenue growth for the full year 2021. We also expect continued cash flow from operations and positive adjusted earnings in 2021 as well. Our goal is to deliver sustainable growth and profitability.
During this year, we'll focus on maximizing the potential of our existing brands, while continuing to build a portfolio of differentiated products. As a result, we are pursuing opportunities to expand the use of our FDA approved products into additional patient populations, while also developing several new product candidates that address poorly met medical needs. Our commercial brands, combined with the new products from our pipeline can be important growth contributors to our business for years to come. And the addressable markets for these products are quite large for a company of our size, and maximizing these opportunities can have a significant impact on our value.
Additionally, we are actively pursuing opportunities to acquire new marketed products, as well as late stage development product candidates in our target medical specialties. We will continue to efficiently manage the business as we emerge from the pandemic, while remaining dedicated and focused on our mission of advancing patient care to deliver high quality medicines. So with that, review, and update now let's open the call to any questions you may have. Operator, please proceed.

Tony Ferguson thinks he would get the better of top lightweight contender Charles Oliveira if they were to cross paths again.
Ferguson is on a four-fight losing skid that has included losses to Oliveira, Justin Gaethje, Beneil Dariush, and most recently Michael Chandler. He is in search of a new team as he looks to get back on track in his MMA career.
Ferguson fell to Oliveira via a unanimous decision at UFC 256. A win over Oliveira would’ve put him right back in the thick of things in the lightweight title picture.
In reply to a fan’s recent question on Twitter about whether an Oliveira rematch or a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov would be a tougher challenge, Ferguson assessed why he feels he fell short against Oliveira.
“Nothing personal, but I really didn’t train anything for Charles,” Ferguson admitted. “He’s A Good kid who needed a boost. I’ll see him again. Any of them & with real training I win. Khabibi on the other hand would be a fun one the fans would like.”
Ferguson didn’t elaborate on his training conditions before the Oliveira fight, but he certainly feels he wasn’t in peak condition.
Following his recent knockout loss to Chandler at UFC 274, Ferguson sounded optimistic regarding his UFC future. His last win came against Donald Cerrone at UFC 238 back in Aug. 2019.
As for Oliveira, he’s now the top lightweight contender after defeating Gaethje at UFC 274. He was forced to vacate the title due to missing championship weight.
Ferguson wants to run it back with Oliveira and recently declined an offer from Oliveira to train together. Regardless of how some may feel about Ferguson’s claims, he’s certainly not lacking confidence ahead of his eventual return to the Octagon.
Do you think Tony Ferguson could beat Charles Oliveira in a rematch? | https://www.mmanews.com/2022/06/tony-ferguson-oliveira-camp/ | 2022-06-04T03:10:48Z | https://www.mmanews.com/2022/06/tony-ferguson-oliveira-camp/ | true | 1 |

Madison Co authorities search for escaped TDCJ inmate
MADISON COUNTY, Texas (FOX 44) – UPDATE: The Texas Department of Criminal Justice continued the search for escaped inmate Gonzalo Artemio Lopez in Madison County on Tuesday night.

Susan Poole disappeared nearly 50 years ago. Since there was no proper way to identify her remains at the time, she remained missing. Now, with the help of advanced DNA technology, detectives have successfully identified human remains found in 1974 as Poole. It is believed that she may have been murdered by a police officer, who was also a serial killer. 15-year-old Susan Poole was reported missing by her family just before Christmas in 1972.
Addressing a conference on Thursday, June 2, Palm Beach County Sheriff's Detective William Springer said that Poole was a high school dropout who lived with her family in a trailer park near Fort Lauderdale and, on other occasions, at her friend's apartment. Springer stated that nobody was aware of Poole's whereabouts.
Then, in 1974, sheriff's deputies were called to a secluded location in Palm Beach County where human remains were found:
"She was tied up in mangroves with wire to a tree. She was skeletal remains, totally nothing left of her except bones."
Poole was found tied up in mangroves in an area known as Burnt Bridges on A1A, in 1974.
DNA technology solves 50-year-old case of missing teen Susan Poole
Story continues below ad
The early 70s made it tough to solve crimes, and if any dead body was completely unrecognizable, dental records were used to identify the victim. However, science and technology have come a long way since then. In this case, investigators submitted DNA to a national missing persons database seven years ago. However, nothing came out of it.
Then, in late 2021, scientists at Othram lab used genealogy technology on the human remains. The test successfully identified the remains as Susan Poole's. The company also submitted the names of the victim's mother and siblings. Springer said the DNA sample from Poole's mother was a match for the remains.
Once the body was identified, Springer stated that his next step was to find evidence that linked serial killer Gerard Schaefer to Poole's death. A cop by profession, Schaefer was a deputy with the Martin County Sheriff's Office at the time of Poole's disappearance.
Story continues below ad
Schaefer was accused of the brutal murder of two teenagers, aged 16 and 17. Their mutilated and decapitated remains were found in April 1973 in Martin County.
Given the similarities between Susan Poole and the other two victims, Springer believes, Schaefer might have murdered Poole. Although Schaefer was convicted of two murders, he is suspected of killing over a dozen people.
Investigators are hoping to speak to Poole's friends so that they can connect the dots that lead them to the answer. Authorities are keen to know if Poole hitchhiked or if she confided in them about any kind of relationship she had with Schaefer.
Speaking about how the family felt, Springer said:
"The family was happy to know what happened. It's been a long time waiting to see what happened to their sister."
Detectives have requested anyone with information to contact Springer. They can also choose to remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/what-happened-susan-poole-case-explored-skeletal-remains-missing-teen-found-50-years | 2022-06-04T03:28:30Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/what-happened-susan-poole-case-explored-skeletal-remains-missing-teen-found-50-years | false | 1 |

A narrow escape from drowning in the cold waters of Klamath Lake yesterday, when his motor-propelled row-boat capsized, was the experience of Virgil Williams, 17, a member of the pine beetle crew at Camp 13 on Howard Bay. Williams, who cannot swim, was saved by the foresight of George Christy, the lumberman, who, although the water was perfectly calm when Williams pushed off, placed an 8-foot plank in the boat as a precautionary measure.
Williams had not gone far before a storm arose, with gusts of rain, causing the engine to stop. Wallowing in the trough of waves, the light boat turned turtle, precipitating Williams into the water. Grasping the plank, he saved himself from drowning and reached the shore only after three-quarters of an hour’s effort.
Williams spent the night with George Christy, where he makes his home while in town, returning to Howard’s Bay this morning on the passenger launch, none of the worse for his harrowing experience.

Upper and Lower Klamath Lakes and Lake Ewauna are among seven Oregon lakes which will be studied as part of a nationwide survey of eutrophication, or aging, by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
A total of 1,200 lakes and impoundments across the country are being studied in the survey, which seeks to identify the bodies of water with potential or actual eutrophication problems. Troubles are brought on by the discharge of excessive amount of phosphates into the lakes.
Phosphates, according to NERC, frequently are significant in causing rapid algae growth in bodies of water. When the algae decay, the process depletes the supply of oxygen and results in the disappearance of desirable varieties of fish.
EPA is using two “Huey” helicopters and two Otter fixed-wing aircraft for the sampling phase of the project. These aircraft were obtained from the U.S. Army. The helicopters were previously used in Vietnam. The Huey is the Army workhorse helicopter, capable of carrying up to 2,600 pounds of equipment.
Scientists will lower probes into the water to measure dissolved oxygen, conductivity, the acid-alkaline balance in the water, temperature and turbidity at different depths.

A task force has a plan to stop vandalism, garbage dumping, poaching and traffic problems in the 40,000-acre Stukel Mountain area southeast of Klamath Falls.
Scott Senter of the Bureau of Land Management and a member of the task force Tuesday presented the group’s recommendations to the Klamath County Commissioners.
The Stukel Mountrain area contains 12,000-acres of BLM land intermingled with private acreage. Private property owners sent letters to different agencies concerning traffic, vandalism and trespassing.
The BLM lands in the area are open to the public. The plan will focus on activities in the area including horseback riding, hiking and all-terrain vehicle use.
Recommendations included increased law enforcement, coordinate efforts with local hunting clubs to reduce vandalism and littering in the target shooting areas, and identify and close unneeded roads in the area. Currently there are about 100 miles of access roads. Also place additional physical barriers to prevent off-road vehicle damage and sign private roads or increase gate use to keep the public off private lands.
“We will continue to review the situation. If it don’t solve the problems we may have to look at a day-use only area or a more restricted permitted entry system,” said Senter.

An array of solar panels at Oregon Institute of Technology will provide power for the school and save it an estimated $3.3 million in energy costs over the next 25 years.
A joint project by Oregon University System and Solar City, a national solar provider is set to go.
Solar City has agreed to install the solar panels, a $10.8 million project will be completed at no cost to OUS or OIT. They will then sell the power back to OIT at a reduced rate.
Energy already supplied by on-site geothermal energy in addition to solar panels will make OIT the only campus in the world to generate most of its energy from alternative energy sources.

Woman testifies Cosby forcibly kissed her when she was 14
A woman testified Friday that she was 14 when Bill Cosby took her into a trailer on a movie set in 1975, grabbed her so she couldn't move her arms, and kissed her.
"I was struggling to get away," she said. "It was very shocking."
The woman, now 61, told her story in a public venue for the first time during a Los Angeles County civil trial over the lawsuit of Judy Huth, who alleges Cosby sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion when she was 16 at around the same time, in the spring of 1975.
The woman testified that she, her mother, and other family and friends were on the Los Angeles set of the film "Let's Do It Again," starring Cosby and Sidney Poitier, where Cosby had invited them to act as extras after meeting them at a tennis tournament a few months earlier.
She said Cosby invited her alone into his trailer to help him straighten the bow tie he was wearing for a scene.
"He immediately grabbed me," she said. "He started kissing me, all over my face, tongue down my throat."
Asked by Huth's attorney Nathan Goldberg how tightly Cosby was holding her, she replied, "enough that I couldn't get away."
After about 30 seconds she pulled free and left.
Pictures were shown in court of Cosby and the 14-year-old together at the tennis tournament, with him smiling and his arms around her. Other photos were shown of Cosby and the girl with her family on the set of the film. Huth would later meet Cosby on a different set of the same film.
Old photos from the mid-1970s have loomed large at the trial, one of the last remaining legal claims against Cosby after his Pennsylvania criminal conviction was thrown out and other lawsuits were settled by his insurer. Two photos of Cosby and Huth at the Playboy Mansion were shown during earlier testimony. Cosby has denied sexually assaulting Huth, and his attorney says the case is about her attempt to cash in on the pictures.
The woman who testified Friday said after leaving the trailer, she did not tell anyone she was with what happened with Cosby, who is not attending the trial.
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," she said. "I didn't want to ruin everything for everyone."
They went about the rest of their day, appearing in a boxing scene for the film shot at the Grand Olympic Auditorium.
In her cross-examination of the woman, Cosby attorney Jennifer Bonjean showed a still from the film of the girl and her brother cheering in the front row next to the boxing ring.
Bonjean asked whether she had been distraught at the time.
"I probably was," the woman said.
"Probably?" Bonjean asked.
"I was distraught when I was in there," she said.
The woman said she did not speak of the incident until telling her husband years later, and telling her teenage daughter years after that.
Bonjean asked whether multiple media reports with allegations in 2015 about Cosby caused her to come forward and tell her story to Gloria Allred, who along with Goldberg represents both her and Huth.
The woman said one brief Allred clip prompted her to do this after she heard Cosby's denial, but said she had no intention of filing a lawsuit when she sought out Allred.
The woman is not a party to the lawsuit, but is being allowed to testify along with one other woman about her experiences for Huth's case.
Bonjean gave serious challenges to the other witness, Margie Shapiro, who has told her story several times before to media outlets and in a news conference with Allred.
Shapiro testified that when she was 19 in November of 1975, she was at the Playboy Mansion with Cosby when he gave her a pill, which she took voluntarily. She said she later woke from unconsciousness to find him raping her.
Bonjean produced a document that showed Shapiro was supposed to be in court as a defendant on the day she said she met Cosby when she was working at a donut shop near the set of another film he was making.
"I might have gone," Shapiro said. "If I needed to I would have taken a short break."
Bonjean also grilled Shapiro over a matchbook that was produced in court that Shapiro said she got at Cosby's house when they stopped there briefly before going to the mansion.
Written on the matchbook was "11/18/1975, my evening at Bill Cosby's house."
"After this drugging and raping you kept a memento?" Bonjean asked.
"It was important, whether it was good or bad," Shapiro answered.
Bonjean also challenged Shapiro over her testimony that she knew the pill Cosby gave her was not a Quaalude, a depressant popular in the 1970s, because of the coding etched on it.
She pointed out that in a 2016 interview with police she had said the pill had looked like a Quaalude and that Cosby told her it was one.
"Either I got it wrong or the detective got it wrong," Shapiro said.
One of the jurors, many of whom were not born in the 1970s, raised a hand and asked the judge for clarification on what a Quaalude was. Shapiro compared it to Valium.
Shapiro said she angrily went looking for Cosby's house days later but couldn't find it.
Bonjean asked whether it was true that she was upset because Cosby had declined to take her to the Playboy Mansion, and that she and Cosby had consensual sex at his house and she didn't like the way he treated her afterward.
"I was upset because he raped me," she said.
The Associated Press does not normally name people who say they have been sexually abused, unless they come forward publicly, as Huth and Shapiro have several times.

Musgrove entered the night with a 5-0 record and a 1.86 ERA that ranked fourth in the National League. His nine quality starts led the NL.

MIAMI (AP) — Brandon Crawford hit his fifth career grand slam, Mike Yastrzemski homered and doubled, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Miami Marlins 15-6 on Friday night.
Yastrzemski, Joc Pederson, Thairo Estrada and Jason Vosler homered off Miami reliever Elieser Hernández, who was originally scheduled to start but allowed eight runs in a long relief role.
The five home runs were a season high for the Giants.
“I think we were just kind of relaxed. We had pressed a little bit the last two games, after being behind,” Yastrzemski said. “Today we just had fun. We felt we were in a good rhythm.”
Zack Littell (1-1) struck out four in two scoreless innings of relief.
Wilmer Flores’ RBI double and Yastrzemski’s three-run shot in the second put San Francisco ahead 5-0.
A night after being shut out by Miami’s Sandy Alcantara and two relievers, the Giants had their fifth double-digit scoring output of the season.
“No disrespect to the pitcher, but (Thursday) we faced a Cy Young-caliber pitcher that makes hitting a little bit harder,” Pederson said. “We got a lot more pitches to hit that weren’t 100 miles per hour. It makes the game a little bit easier.”
Pederson extended the Giants’ lead with a solo blast in the third. He drove Hernández’s pitch into the upper deck seats in right for his 13th homer.
The Marlins narrowed the deficit on Jon Berti’s two-run double in the fourth before Estrada connected with a two-run blast in the fifth to give San Francisco another six-run lead.
“It’s encouraging. Any time you score a bunch of runs and have several big innings is another thing we believe leads to winning,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “It’s a confidence boost for this club but again, but you’re not going to get super high over this and super low over (Thursday’s) loss.”
Hernández’s outing lasted 4 1/3 innings. The right-hander has now surrendered a major league-high 18 home runs this season. The Marlins had also lost his six previous starts.
“Nothing I can say, just terrible,” Hernández said.
Crawford’s blast against reliever Louis Head capped a six-run seventh and increased the Giants’ lead to 15-2.
“It’s nice to have him back in the lineup, obviously,” Kapler said of Crawford, who missed the series opener because of cold-like symptoms. “It’s a powerful left-handed bat and when he’s not in there, we notice his absence.”
San Francisco’s Alex Cobb was scratched from his start because of back tightness and reliever John Brebbia worked a scoreless first around a single. Brebbia struck out one.
Marlins reliever Richard Bleier (0-1) started and allowed Crawford’s RBI groundout. The left-hander gave up one hit, walked one and struck out one in his only inning of work.
Giants outfielder Luis González left in the second because of a right lower leg contusion after being getting hit by a pitch. Earlier Friday, González was named NL Rookie of the Month.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
The first-inning run continued a rewarding trend for the Giants. They are 16-4 when scoring first and 12-19 if the opponent takes the first lead.
NOT YOUR TYPICAL RELIEVERS
The Giants’ lopsided advantage resulted in ninth-inning relief appearances by position players Willians Astudillo of Miami and San Francisco’s Donovan Walton. Astudillo worked a scoreless top half while Walton allowed three runs,
ROSTER MOVE
The Giants recalled Sean Hjelle from Triple-A Sacramento and optioned LHP Sam Long to the same minor league club.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Giants: 3B Evan Longoria (shoulder) originally was scheduled to start in the field but after some pregame throwing he had not healed sufficiently to play the position. Longoria remained in the lineup as designated hitter.
Marlins: RHP Anthony Bender (back stiffness) played catch Thursday.
UP NEXT
RHP Logan Webb (5-1, 3.52) will start for the Giants on Saturday against Marlins RHP Pablo López (4-2, 1.83). | https://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/article/Crawford-slam-among-5-Giants-homers-in-15-6-win-17219039.php | 2022-06-04T03:55:33Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/article/Crawford-slam-among-5-Giants-homers-in-15-6-win-17219039.php | false | 21 |

Flooding aftermath: Queenslanders slugged huge insurance premium
Recovering flood victims in one state have been dealt another devastating blow as they try to rebuild their lives.
Queenslanders are being urged to shop around for better prices after their insurance premiums jumped following February’s devastating floods.
Several Brisbane residents have called into 4BC Radio, shocked to discover their home and contents insurance increased to more than $5000, including added-on flood coverage, despite never putting in a claim or living in an home or street that was prone to flooding.
Insurance Council of Australia chief Andrew Hall said the natural disaster in February was the fourth largest natural disaster event in Australian history where 220,000 claims were made, costing about $4.3 billion.
He advised Queenslanders to shop around.
“It’s been a very large and costly event. It also rewrote the record books in terms of flood levels and we’ve seen areas flood that we’d never expected to,” Mr Hall told 4BC.
“What can happen is that some insurers will price on a postcode, they may price in a way because they already have a high level of exposure in an area and that are just not keen to take on more customers in that area.
“We’ve got any years of data and insurers do understand where floods occur and where they don't so what I'd say to consumers is to shop around. If you're getting an increase that’s unreasonable you should absolutely go online and look.”
Mr Hall said each insurer had a different business model with some looking at geographic areas, while others had broader offers.
He said there were also options to opt out of flood coverage.
“Reinsurance is a big driver of cost and we’ve seen in Australia the upward pressure on the cost of reinsurance because we’ve had these ongoing events.
“We’ve had several now in the last decade so it all has a flow on effect.”
In the aftermath of the floods, Mr Hall said insurers looked at what areas had been affected and “learnt lessons” from it.

NEW ORLEANS, June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ClaimsFiler, a FREE shareholder information service, reminds investors that they have until July 18, 2022 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against Pegasystems Inc. (NasdaqGS: PEGA), if they purchased the Company's shares between May 29, 2020 and May 9, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Pegasystems investors should visit us at https://claimsfiler.com/cases/nasdaq-pega-2/ or call toll-free (844) 367-9658. Lawyers at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC are available to discuss your legal options.
Pegasystems and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On May 9, 2022, post-market, the Company disclosed that a Virginia state court jury deliberating over a lawsuit brought by one of its principal competitors, Appian Corporation ("Appian") for stealing its trade secrets and violating the commonwealth's computer crime law had awarded Appian more than $2 billion for the Company's "willful and malicious" trade secret misappropriation.
On this news, shares of Pegasystems plummeted from $65.93 per share on May 9, 2022, to close at $52.25 per share on May 10, a one-day decline of 21% that wiped out over $1 billion in market capitalization.
The case is City of Fort Lauderdale Police and Firefighters' Retirement System v. Pegasystems Inc., et al., No. 1:22-cv-00578.

Queen’s platinum jubilee: What is the pageant route and what time does it start?
Celebrations for the Queen ’s platinum jubilee are being held this week, with a 10,000-strong pageant honouring the monarch expected to captivate the capital on Sunday 5 June.
The Platinum Jubilee Pageant, which will conclude the four-day festivities , is one of the main official events organised by Buckingham Palace and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to mark Queen Elizabeth’s historic milestone.
It will be broadcast live on the BBC and on large screens around The Mall in London, Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens and in Bute Park in Cardiff.
Thousands of performers from across the UK and the Commonwealth will tell the story of the Queen’s 70-year reign – the longest of any British monarch in history – and the changing face of British society.
Here’s everything you need to know about what route the pageant will take and how you can watch it:
What time is the Platinum Jubilee Pageant?
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant will start at 2.30pm on Sunday 5 June and is expected to end at 5pm.
What is the Platinum Jubilee Pageant route?
According to the event’s official website, the pageant will take place “on some of the most iconic streets in Westminster”.
These include Whitehall and The Mall, up to Buckingham Palace.
A map provided by the organisers, which also includes information on where the big screens will be placed around The Mall and the locations of toilet facilities, shows that the pageant will begin on Whitehall.
It will then travel to Admiralty Arch, near Charing Cross station, before processing up The Mall towards the Queen Victoria Memorial, which takes pride of place outside Buckingham Palace.
The pageant will finish outside the palace. Culminating in a grand finale led by Ed Sheeran , who is planning to pay a special tribute to the Queen and the late Prince Philip.
A red line indicating the pageant’s route on the organiser’s map also runs down Birdcage Walk, but the official information provided does not mention the street.
It is therefore unclear how much of the pageant will be visible from there.
The map can be found on the official Platinum Jubilee Pageant website .
How can I watch the Platinum Jubilee Pageant?
There are two official grandstands located outside the palace, but tickets for these seats are no longer available.
However, there are other ways to watch the pageant. Public viewing areas will be available along Whitehall and The Mall, which do not require a ticket to access.
The organisers have advised people to “please remember that the area will be busy on the day and to give yourself enough time to get to them”.
Big screens broadcasting the pageant will also be placed in St James’ Park, along The Mall and Whitehall so that as many people as possible will be able to watch the procession.
If you wish to watch the pageant from home, it will be broadcast live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and across the BBC network.
Who is performing at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant?
According to the organisers, 10,000 people are involved in the pageant.
These include the military, more than 6,000 volunteers, performers, and key workers, as well as 2,500 members of the general public.
A cast of “national treasures” including Gary Lineker, Basil Brush, Sir Mo Farah, Ant & Dec, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Dame Joan Collins and Dame Kelly Holmes will also reportedly be making appearances. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2621863649857/queen-s-platinum-jubilee-what-is-the-pageant-route-and-what-time-does-it-start | 2022-06-04T04:25:42Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2621863649857/queen-s-platinum-jubilee-what-is-the-pageant-route-and-what-time-does-it-start | false | 2 |
BIG RAPIDS — Police have identified a body found dead along White Pine Trail as 36-year-old Ashley Nicole Godfrey, of Big Rapids.
According to a news release, officers patrolling White Pine Trail discovered Godfrey's body near Colburn Avenue about 1:30 a.m. Friday, June 3.
Through the investigation, police identified a 23-year-old male suspect from Mecosta Township and arrested him for open murder, the release states. Police have determined it an isolated incident, at this time.
The Michigan State Police, MSP Crime Scene Unit, Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office and medical examiner’s office assisted the Big Rapids Police Department with this case.
This is the second homicide case in Mecosta County in a week. On Friday, May 27, Mecosta County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a residence in Austin Township for a report of a male with a gun and shots fired. According to a news release from the Mecosta County Sheriff's Office, deputies arrived to find three children — Katelynn Gillard, 6, Ronald Gillard, 4, and Joshua Gillard, 3 — and their mother — Dawn Gillard, 40 — dead from gunshot wounds.
In that case, investigators suspect the children's father and Dawn's husband, a 51-year-old male, of shooting them before turning the firearm on himself, according to the release. He was transported to Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital, then later transferred to Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, before being transferred to University of Michigan Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition for his injuries. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/UPDATE-Police-ID-body-found-on-White-Pine-Trail-17218937.php | 2022-06-04T04:25:47Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/UPDATE-Police-ID-body-found-on-White-Pine-Trail-17218937.php | false | 1 |

Campbell County baseball team routs Johnson Central in state tourney opener, 14-2
LEXINGTON – Even with an under-.500 record of 16-21, Johnson Central was one of 16 regional champions who came to the University of Kentucky this week for the Kentucky High School Athletic Association state baseball tournament.
The Golden Eagles, a 15th Region powerhouse year in and year out, had knocked off a top-20 team in Lawrence County to win the 15th Region Tournament.
Campbell County had no intention of taking its opponent lightly as the Camels faced off with the Golden Eagles in the first round of the tournament Friday night at Kentucky Proud Park.
Campbell defeated Johnson 14-2, with the game ending after five innings due to the KHSAA mercy rule. The Camels scored in each of the first four innings.

The Camels (24-10) advance to Saturday’s quarterfinals at 8:30 p.m. at Kentucky Proud Park against McCracken County (34-6), who was ranked third in the state in the final coaches poll. Johnson Central finishes 16-22. McCracken beat Hazard 16-9 in Friday’s previous quarterfinal.
But first, the Camels had to stop an upset bid before it started.
“Johnson Central and Coach (Shawn) Hall, those guys do a great job,” Campbell County head coach Scott Schweitzer said. “He’s done this a long time, very respected program. They know what they’re doing, they’ve been here before so it was huge to jump out early and stay on it. That’s a scary team to play, and for these guys to keep the foot on the gas, not look back. That’s what we did tonight.”
The Camels pounded 12 hits and took advantage of a few defensive lapses by the Golden Eagles in the early innings to build their lead.
Third baseman Evan Clark went 4-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBIs.
“We knew they were here for a reason,” Clark said. “They got hot at the right time, and we knew we couldn’t come out here flat. We had to get going and we did.”
Jake Gross had two hits and four RBIs. Greg Vineyard had two hits, an RBI and three runs scored. Brayden Wells had two hits and two runs scored. Caeleb James drove in two and scored two.
Max Lausé benefitted from the run support to pick up his seventh win of the year and lower his 2.18 ERA coming in.
Lausé had pitched eight shutout innings in two games in the 10th Region Tournament, including the 10th Region final to win most valuable player honors.
“Max typically attacks the zone,” Schweitzer said. “He was a little more wild than normal tonight, but (with the lead), it allows you to attack more with fastballs. He’s the hot hand and he’s pitched really well.”
The Camels set the tone right away in the first inning.
The Camels loaded the bases with nobody out after a leadoff double by Greg Vineyard and a single by Evan Clark. The Camels were helped out by a defensive lapse from starting pitcher Hunter Blevins, who threw to second instead of home on a grounder back to him with one out. All runners were safe and Campbell led 2-0.
In the bottom of the first, with Conner Lemaster on first base, Johnson Central got a two-out double by Keygan Pelfrey. Campbell left fielder Caeleb James threw out Pelfrey at third before Lemaster reached home plate, and it remained 2-0.
In the second inning, the Camels had two outs and nobody on. Vineyard and Clark singled.
Gross lofted a fly ball down the left-field line that left fielder Matt Crum tried to make a diving catch on. The ball hit Crum and went foul, and was ruled fair, giving Gross a two-run double. The ball might have landed foul if Crum hadn’t touched it.
Riley added an RBI single to put the Camels up, 5-0.
Campbell County led 9-0 after its half of the third inning. Vineyard drew a bases-loaded walk. Clark hit an RBI single, and Gross hit a two-run single for his third and fourth RBI.
In the fourth, a two-run double by James, and an RBI single by Clark for his fourth hit of the night made it 13-2 with two outs.
“It felt really good,” Clark said. “It was rewarding, all the hard work this year. To come out here first round of the state tournament and go 4-for-4, really help the team, it felt good.”
JC went to its fifth pitcher of the game. Tyler Fowler reached on an error with the bases loaded to lead 14-2.
The Camels will battle a McCracken County team that has a deep history of long tournament runs and was state runner-up last year.
“If we play our game, we’ll have a chance,” Schweitzer said. “I’ll do the best I can do to make sure they’re prepared to play their game.” | https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/high-school/high-school-sports/2022/06/04/campbell-county-baseball-team-routs-johnson-central-state-opener/7503093001/ | 2022-06-04T04:34:17Z | https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/high-school/high-school-sports/2022/06/04/campbell-county-baseball-team-routs-johnson-central-state-opener/7503093001/ | true | 1 |
Austin (KXAN) — New numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly jobs report show the United States has added 390,000 jobs in May, which is the 17th monthly gain in a row. With all of that job growth comes the need for workers, but the Central Texas restaurant industry is still in a desperate search for staff.
Over at The County Line, the flow of customers is steady and so is the work for everyone on their team.
“Our business is coming back and that’s how you get your employees back,” said Skeeter Miller, Owner/President of The County Line Inc.
Miller, like other local restaurant owners, is hiring. He tells KXAN he needs about 20 for his location near the lake. With summer just weeks away, he’s hopeful he’ll continue finding good help.
“I talk to parents all the time and they say, ‘My kids really need a job’ and I say, ‘Here’s my card,'” Miller explained. “They want to get a summer job, and I see a lot more applications coming in.”
He says he’s paying well over $15 an hour, and that’s the case for several local restaurants. But while wages are going up, many are noticing the number of employees is going down. KXAN did a quick ride down Barton Springs Road and nearly every restaurant had a ‘now hiring’ sign. Customers say they are noticing the impact.
“They usually say, ‘Excuse the wait time and be patient,'” said Mika Hishita.
“Almost every time I go, they always mention the amount of people and how they are understaffed,” Lainil Ortiz said.
Pre-pandemic, the Texas Restaurant Association says about 41% of restaurant operators listed a workforce shortage as their number one problem. Currently, that number is up to 76%.
“Employees are moving around a lot and they’re trying different restaurants and they’re changing employers at a higher rate than we would normally see,” said Joe Monastero, Chief Operating Officer of the Texas Restaurant Association.
The organization says career changes, burnout and wage increases are all factors.
“Even last year at ACL, we saw major groups of Austin-based employees just say, you know what, I’m going to go work ACL for a couple of weekends, make a lot of money and I know I’ll find something else afterward… so even if you don’t take me back, somebody will,” Monastero explained.
The Texas Restaurant Association says we are missing about 30,000 employees from the restaurant industry.
Restaurant and food service jobs make up about 10% of employment in our state, the Texas Restaurant Association projects that number to grow by 16% by 2030. | https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/texas-restaurants-desperate-for-staff-despite-rising-wages/ | 2022-06-04T04:37:03Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/texas-restaurants-desperate-for-staff-despite-rising-wages/ | false | 1 |

RALEIGH — Policies mandated by Gov.Roy Cooper’s Executive Order No. 131 for social distancing in retail stores went into effect at 5 p.m. Monday. The Order also makes earlier COVID-19 guidelines mandatory for nursing facilities, and recommends other long-term care facilities to do the same, and makes changes that will speed up certain benefit payments to those who are out of work.
Retail Stores
This Order offers clear requirements that essential businesses must implement in order to safeguard the health of customers and employees, according to a rease from the Governor’s office.
Some of the directives include:
• Setting limits of how many people can be in a store at one time, 5 people per 1,000 square feet of retail space or 20% of fire marshal posted occupancy limits
• Marking six feet of distance for areas where people gather, such as checkout lines
• Requiring specific cleaning measures for retail stores
The Order encourages:
• Implementing hygiene recommendations for employees and customers, like hand sanitizer at the doors and face coverings for workers
• Establishing designated shopping times designated for high-risk groups
• Creating barriers between customers and employees at checkout to lower the risk of required interactions
The Order states these requirements will last for thirty days unless extended by further executive action.
Long-term care facilities
The Order sets public health and safety requirements for nursing homes during the public health emergency. The Order encourages other long-term care facilities to follow the same guidance. Some of the directives include:
• Canceling communal activities, including group meals
• Taking the temperature of employees and essential personnel when they enter the facility
• Requiring specific personal protective equipment in the facility
• Requiring close monitoring of residents for COVID-19 health indicators like body temperature
The Order states these requirements will last until this order is repealed.
Unemployment insurance claims
The Order makes it easier for employers to file a batch of claims, called an attached claim, on behalf of their employees. By temporarily eliminating some of the hurdles for employers, benefits can get in the hands of those who need them faster.
The Order will extend 60 days beyond the date the state of emergency is lifted to allow employers to get back on their feet. | https://www.yadkinripple.com/news/16930/governors-order-mandates-retail-changes | 2022-06-04T04:49:57Z | https://www.yadkinripple.com/news/16930/governors-order-mandates-retail-changes | false | 1 |

Which bar cart with wine rack is best?
If you enjoy hosting, a multifunction bar cart that features a built-in wine rack can save you time, space and energy. It eliminates the need to leave the room or patio to retrieve more wine and lets you keep different types of wine on hand to accommodate all your guests.
For an attractive, high-quality option, the Winsome Trading Jimmy Cart has everything you’ll need to set up a mobile bar, plus plenty of storage space to match it.
What to know before you buy a bar cart with wine rack
Mobility
A bar cart is convenient because of its size and mobility. It doesn’t take up too much space, and it rolls on four wheels. It can easily be left in the corner of a room for everyday use or moved into a larger gathering space for social gatherings. Want to take the party outside? A bar cart can be rolled out onto the patio, so no one has to go back inside to make drinks.
Style
While plenty of bar carts lean into their vintage origins, there are also bar carts that provide fun modern twists. The most popular bar cart styles include:
- Mid-century modern: This style highlights popular elements from the 1940s to the 1950s, including clean lines, subdued tones and the blending of manmade and natural components.
- Industrial: Metal is the primary feature of this look, especially bold, strong, and rugged metals.
- Art deco: This style is a timeless throwback, emphasizing geometric shapes and vintage-inspired accents such as marble or gold tones.
- Rustic: Farmhouse elements come into play with this style. There can be metal accents, but the focus is on natural wood tones.
Glass rack
Most bar carts feature a glass rack for storing stemmed wine glasses. These glasses are hung upside-down to keep them in place and prevent them from knocking together and breaking. Not all glasses fit in all glass racks, so if you have non-standard glassware, you might want to check user reviews before purchasing a specific cart.
What to look for in a quality bar cart with wine rack
Ample shelving
The most versatile bar carts with a built-in wine rack have at least three or four to accommodate bottles, glasses, bottle openers, garnishes and a surface on which to pour. The whole point of a bar cart is to keep all beverage needs confined to one area. If you have a bar cart but find yourself constantly going back into the kitchen to grab things, your bar cart might not be big enough.
Wheel locks
It’s important that the wheels on your bar cart can easily be locked in place to keep it from sliding around while you’re trying to pour out drinks. Locking wheels also ensure that if the cart is bumped or pushed by accident, it doesn’t result in a mess of broken glass and wasted wine.
Horizontal bottle rack
It’s best if a wine rack stores bottles horizontally. Laying a bottle of wine on its side helps keep the cork moist. A dried-out cork can crumble and make a bottle difficult to open. Bottles with twist-caps don’t have to be stored horizontally, but there’s no disadvantage in doing so.
How much you can expect to spend on a bar cart with wine rack
A bar cart with a wine rack costs $50-$400. The average cost for a well-built and functional cart is usually between $100-$200.
Bar cart with wine rack FAQ
How big is a bar cart with wine rack?
A. The height is usually 19-30 inches, and the depth is around 15-20 inches. The width can vary but usually lands between 15-30 inches.
Is the cart weatherproof?
A. Outdoor bar carts are designed to withstand the elements. Indoor bar carts can handle some outdoor time but should not be left there as it can lead to rust, breakage or water damage.
