Bill O’Reilly will be investigated for sexual harassment, says his accuser’s attorney(for more go to http://howpeopledo.com)

According to the attorney for Wendy Walsh, one of multiple women who’ve reportedly leveled sexual assault allegations at Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, 21st Century Fox will conduct an investigation into the longtime anchor’s behavior.

Lisa Bloom, who represents Walsh, broke the news during an appearance on CNN’s Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter on Sunday afternoon, saying that her client’s call to the the anonymous hotline for Fox News’s parent company has spurred an internal investigation.

In the aftermath of a major report by the New York Times last week, detailing multiple sexual harassment allegations against O’Reilly, the host put out an official statement denying wrongdoing. He also noted that “no one has ever filed a complaint about me with the Human Resources Department, even on the anonymous hotline.”

That’s no longer true, however, as Bloom and Walsh proved by filming their call to the hotline.

It was that call, according to Bloom, which seems to have set in motion the internal investigation.

Said Bloom: “On Friday, we received a return phone call from a couple of attorneys who represent Fox News, and they said that they are indeed going to do an investigation based on Wendy’s complaint. I told them we really appreciate that, and let’s get going as soon as possible. And so, I am told that they are taking it seriously and they are going to do the investigation that’s legally required of them.”

Walsh has been very public about her allegations against O’Reilly, with an eye toward improving working conditions for other women. That’s what she told CNN’s Don Lemon last week, flatly stating that she’s “not after money.” Walsh alleges that after a number of on-air appearances on O’Reilly’s show in 2013, the 67-year-old host first promised her a job as a recurring contributor over a business dinner and then angrily withdrew the offer after she refused to have sex with him.

Walsh’s allegations echo what’s publicly known of other accusations against O’Reilly throughout the years, although not all of his accusers are at liberty to speak about their experiences due to the terms of their settlements. In addition to Walsh and former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros, both of whom have made public accusations, O’Reilly has reportedly shelled out a combined $13 million in settlements to five women, all of whom worked at Fox News: former producers Rachel Witlieb Bernstein and Andrea Mackris, and on-air talent Rebecca Gomez Diamond, Laurie Dhue, and Juliet Huddy.

Since the Times‘s report, at least 60 national advertisers have pulled their money from O’Reilly’s show.

Update 3:35pm PT, April 9:“21st Century Fox investigates all complaints and we have asked the law firm Paul Weiss to continue assisting the company in these serious matters.”

AI Can Predict Heart Attacks More Accurately Than Doctors(for more go to http://howpeopledo.com)

Every year, it is estimated that 20 million people die from cardiovascular disease, but this is another number that, thanks to technology, could decrease.

In the United Kingdom, an algorithm based on artificial intelligence is being developed that is able to predict more effectively than the current methods the probability of a person having a heart attack or a stroke.

Currently, risks of cardiovascular disease are assessed based on guidelines defined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC / AHA), where factors such as age, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure come in.

However, this may be too simplistic an assessment, according to some experts, since there is a lot of interaction in biological systems that are ultimately “counterintuitive.” That is, for some patients body fat may be a risk, but for others, it may even be protecting the body against cardiovascular problems.

According to Stephen Weng, an epidemiologist at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, there are no equal bodies, each has its own reality and it is the science of computing that will allow us to explore these different realities, Providing them with predictions of problems in a more precise way.

In this study, conducted by the University of Nottingham and based on Artificial Intelligence were compared the guidelines defined by ACC / AHA with four machine-learning algorithms: random forest Logical regression, gradient increase, and neural networks. This artificial intelligence process analyzed the electronic data of 3,78,256 patients in the UK with the aim of finding patterns associated with cardiovascular events.

Using data from patients in 2005, the system predicted that those who, 10 years from now, would have cardiovascular problems, analyzing at least 22 other factors in the analysis than the ACC / AHA method, including factors such as ethnicity, arthritis, or kidney disease.

In the test sample, 83,000 records were used. This method was thus able to predict 7.6% more cardiovascular problems in the patients than they were in reality, afterward confronting with the data of 2015. In addition, false alarms were also reduced by 1.6%.

In actual numbers, this means that the method based on artificial intelligence would have been able to detect timely 355 cases that resulted in the death of patients. The technological revolution at the service of health is happening and it does not take much for the diagnostics to be done computationally.

Curved displays are the next ‘in’ thing in the smartphone world, with even the Apple iPhone 8 rumored to feature a unique 2.5D display. Design wise, the device tries to stay as simple as possible. It’s back is completely smooth, save for the dual camera setup and a vertical flash.

The Mi6 also balances a light approach towards design with hardcore hardware specifications. The device, similar to Google’s Pixel lineup looks to capture a much younger user base, simply based on its design. It’s an approach that’s gained an increasing relevance these days. Apple’s launch of the Red iPhone 7 was received very well by the market, simply because it deviated from the traditional, sombre look of black models.

At the specifications end, the Mi6 carries the Snapdragon 835, with 6GB of RAM. The device will be available in capacities of 64GB and 128GB. Color options include Black, White and Blue. You’ll also get to choose between A ceramic and a Silver special edition build. So take a look at the images above and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
