In het Vlaamse Herentals zijn ze verwend met grote wielrenners. Toch kunnen ze van de zege van hun Wout van Aert in Parijs-Roubaix maar geen genoeg krijgen.

Robin van Persie koos tegen NEC voor een aangepaste opstelling bij Feyenoord, waarin het middenveld werd versterkt met Tobias van den Elshout. Is die 4-4-2-formatie iets dat Feyenoord ook in de resterende vier competitieduels kan gebruiken?

Prime minister-elect promises ‘new era’ for country after defeating far-right Viktor Orbán

Hungary’s prime minister-elect, Péter Magyar, has pledged to pursue those who “plundered, looted, betrayed, indebted and ruined” his country, promising “a new era” after a landslide election victory over his far-right predecessor Viktor Orbán.

Magyar, whose centre-right Tisza party won at least 138 of the 199 seats in parliament, said the full election results should be confirmed by 4 May and he hoped his government could be installed the next day.

The military approach has backfired, with Iran’s position only strengthened. But the door is still open to a deal

Donald Trump was quick to declare victory over Iran, but this weekend’s negotiations suggest that Tehran has the upper hand. His war of choice has backfired. His military solution has emboldened rather than weakened Iran. Diplomacy is his only reasonable option.

Trump may have hoped that the marathon 16-hour talks in Pakistan would extract him from his self-created quagmire, but the issues that have long divided Washington and Tehran are complex. When it turned out that Iran wanted to negotiate rather than capitulate, JD Vance, who led the US diplomatic team, packed his bags and went home.

Wife of Pawel Bukowski criticises care husband received over depression he suffered following failed procedure

A man who took his own life was suffering from depression after a failed dental procedure in Turkey left him without any teeth, an inquest has heard.

Pawel Bukowski, a 48-year-old forklift driver, had travelled to a private clinic in the country in January 2025 to have his teeth replaced after suffering from periodontal disease, a chronic bacterial infection that can erode the gums and lead to tooth and bone loss.

Great new Patrick Radden Keefe piece on a New Orleans insurance fraud scheme involving big rigs. “After all, who would agree to be cut open on an operating table if it weren’t necessary? Quite a lot of people, it turns out.”

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Several Californians sued Sutter Health and MemorialCare this week over allegations that an AI transcription tool was used to record them without their consent, in violation of state and federal law. The proposed class-action lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in federal court in San Francisco, states that, within the past six months, the plaintiffs received medical care at various Sutter and MemorialCare facilities.

During those visits, medical staff used Abridge AI. According to the complaint, this system "captured and processed their confidential physician-patient communications. Plaintiffs did not receive clear notice that their medical conversations would be recorded by an artificial intelligence platform, transmitted outside the clinical setting, or processed through third-party systems." The complaint adds that these recordings "contained individually identifiable medical information, including but not limited to medical histories, symptoms, diagnoses, medications, treatment discussions, and other sensitive health disclosures communicated during confidential medical consultations."

In recent years, Abridge's software and AI service have been rapidly deployed across major health care providers nationwide, including Kaiser Permanente, the Mayo Clinic, Duke Health, and many more. When activated, the software captures, transcribes, and summarizes conversations between patients and doctors, and it turns them into clinical notes. Sutter Health began partnering with Abridge two years ago. Sutter spokesperson Liz Madison said the company is aware of the lawsuit. "We take patient privacy seriously and are committed to protecting the security of our patients' information," Madison said. "Technology used in our clinical settings is carefully evaluated and implemented in accordance with applicable laws and regulations."

Het is absoluut een taboe en je zult het nooit toegeven, zelfs niet aan jezelf. Maar toch: moeders hebben iets vaker een voorkeur voor dochters, vaders zien hun zonen iets liever. Een nieuwe studie van de Rutgers School of Business toont aan dat ouders een lichte voorkeur hebben voor het kind van hetzelfde geslacht, als het op één belangrijk aspect aankomt: geld. Hoewel 90 procent van de onderzochte ouders aangaf geen enkele voorkeur te hebben voor een kind, bleek die er wel te zijn. Marketingprofessor Kristina Durante voerde vier experimenten uit in verschillende culturen. Daaruit kwam naar voren dat moeders meer geld willen investeren in dochters, vaders in zonen. In één test kregen vaders en moeders die allemaal een zoon en een dochter hadden een staatsobligatie van 25 dollar. Ze moesten het geld investeren in één kind. De meerderheid van de moeders gaf het aan hun dochter, de vaders gaven het overwegend aan hun zonen. Ook als het ging om de erfenis kregen de kinderen van hetzelfde geslacht vaak meer. Durante waarschuwt: "Als deze voorkeur voor hetzelfde geslacht doorwerkt in bijvoorbeeld gespaard collegegeld, promoties en politiek, dan kan het diepgaande gevolgen hebben en is het wellicht iets wat we willen corrigeren." De studie is gepubliceerd in de
