NEW YORK (AP) — Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend has been denied bail and will remain behind bars on charges she recruited girls and women for the financier to sexually abuse more than two decades ago.British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell appeared in a video court hearing in Manhattan, where she pleaded not guilty.Maxwell, 58, has been held without bail since her July 2 arrest at her million-dollar New Hampshire estate.She was charged with recruiting at least three girls, one as young as 14, for Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 1997.An indictment alleged that she helped groom the victims to endure sexual abuse and was sometimes there when Epstein abused them.Epstein killed himself in August 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. 754

New research confirms that temperature and symptom checks miss many coronavirus infections. A study published Wednesday found that these measures failed to detect infections in new Marine recruits before they started training, even after several weeks of quarantine. Many recruits had no symptoms yet still spread the virus. The work has implications for colleges, prisons, meatpacking plants and and other places that rely on symptom screening. Doctors say more COVID-19 testing is needed, especially in younger people who often don't develop symptoms.“We spent a lot of time putting measures like that in place and they’re probably not worth the time as we had hoped,” said Jodie Guest, a public health researcher at Atlanta’s Emory University who had no role in the research.“Routine testing seems to be better in this age group” because younger adults often have no symptoms, she said.The study was led by researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York and the Naval Medical Research Center.It involved 1,848 Marine recruits, about 90% of them men, who were told to isolate themselves for two weeks at home, then in a supervised military quarantine at a closed college campus, The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina, for two more weeks. That included having a single roommate, wearing masks, keeping at least 6 feet apart and doing most training outdoors. They also had daily fever and symptom checks.The recruits were tested for coronavirus when they arrived for the military quarantine and 7 and 14 days afterward. Sixteen, or about 1%, tested positive on arrival and only one had any symptoms. Another 35 -- an additional 2% -- tested positive during the two-week military quarantine and only four had symptoms.Only recruits who tested negative at the end of both quarantine periods were allowed to go on to Parris Island for basic training.Genetic testing revealed six separate clusters of cases among the recruits.A separate study published Wednesday in the New England journal reports on an outbreak last spring on the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. Among the crew of 4,779, mostly young people, 1,271 became infected; 77% did not show symptoms when diagnosed and 55% never developed any.The case shows that “young, healthy persons can contribute to community spread of infection, often silently,” Dr. Nelson Michael of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research wrote in a commentary. 2442

NEW YORK (AP) — People are more likely to return a lost wallet if it contains money — and the more cash, the better.That's the surprising conclusion from researchers who planted more than 17,000 "lost wallets" across 355 cities in 40 countries, and kept track of how often somebody contacted the supposed owners.The presence of money — the equivalent of about in local currency — boosted this response rate to about 51%, versus 40% for wallets with no cash. That trend showed up in virtually every nation, although the actual numbers varied.Researchers raised the stakes in the U.S., the United Kingdom and Poland. The response jumped to 72% for wallets containing the equivalent of about , versus 61% for those containing . If no money was enclosed, the rate was 46%.How can this be?"The evidence suggests that people tend to care about the welfare of others, and they have an aversion to seeing themselves as a thief," said Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan, one author who reported the results Thursday in the journal Science.Another author, Christian Zuend of the University of Zurich, said "it suddenly feels like stealing" when there's money in the wallet. "And it feels even more like stealing when the money in the wallet increases," he added. That idea was supported by the results of polls the researchers did in the U.S., the U.K. and Poland, he told reporters.The wallets in the study were actually transparent business card cases, chosen so that people could see money inside without opening them. A team of 13 research assistants posed as people who had just found the cases and turned them in at banks, theaters, museums or other cultural establishments, post offices, hotels and police stations or other public offices. The key question was whether the employee receiving each case would contact its supposed owner, whose name and email address were displayed on three identical business cards within.The business cards were crafted to make the supposed owner appear to be a local person, as was a grocery list that was also enclosed. Some cases also contained a key, and they were more likely to get a response than cases without a key. That led the researchers to conclude that concern for others was playing a role, since — unlike money — a key is valuable to its owner but not a stranger.The effect of enclosed money appeared in 38 of the 40 countries, with Mexico and Peru the exceptions. Nations varied widely in how often the wallet's "owner" was contacted. In Switzerland the rate was 74% for wallets without money and 79% with it, while in China the rates were 7% and 22%. The U.S. figures were 39% and 57%.The study measured how employees act when presented with a wallet at their workplaces. But would those same people act differently if they found a wallet on a sidewalk?"We don't know," said Michel Marechal, an author from the University of Zurich. But he said other analyses suggest the new results reflect people's overall degree of honesty.Shaul Shalvi of the University of Amsterdam, who wrote a commentary that accompanied the study, told The Associated Press that he suspected the study does shed light on how people would act with a wallet found on the street.He said the results "support the idea that people care about others as well as caring about being honest."Robert Feldman, psychology professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who didn't participate in the work, said he suspected the experiment might have turned out differently if involved "everyday people" rather than employees acting in an official capacity.But Feldman called the study impressive and said it seems like "a very real result."Dan Ariely, a psychology professor at Duke University who didn't participate in the research, said the conclusions fit with research that indicates keeping a larger amount of money would be harder for a person to rationalize."It very much fits with the way social scientists think about dishonesty," he said. 3987

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un responded to President Donald Trump's speech before the United Nations where Trump vowed to "totally destroy" the nation if it threatened the United States or its allies. Although the two nations are not formally at war, clearly the two leaders are in a war of words. "The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime," Trump said earlier this week. Kim issued a statement Thursday evening, not backing down to Trump's hard-line stance."I will make the man holding the prerogative of the supreme command in the US pay dearly for his speech calling for totally destroying the DPRK," Kim said. "Whatever Trump might have expected, he will face results beyond expected." "He is unfit to hold the prerogative of supreme command of a country and he is surely a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire rather than a politician," Kim added.Both sides have stepped up their posture toward one another. North Korea has fired missiles over the coast of Japan, and has tested atomic weapons. Meanwhile, the United States has added patrols of the region.  1299

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The New York Police Department has launched a first-of-its-kind task force to tackle the rise in hate crimes committed against Asian Americans amid the COVID-19 pandemic.“I’m from Malaysia but I’ve been here 30 some years,” Mei Chau explained from her loft apartment in New York City.Chau is a chef and owner of Aux Epices, a French Malaysian restaurant in New York’s Chinatown. “It’s actually a French name. It’s called with spice.”Due to COVID-19, regulations and a lack of tourists, Chau was forced to close her doors in June.“At the same time, I'm also glad that I closed because of the difficulty that I have to face,” she explained. Aux Epices is just one of the many businesses lining Chinatown’s streets that’s been hit hard, in more ways than one.“When the first news came out saying, Oh this came from China, of course right away we’re like, oh is this going to affect us?” Chau explained. “And of course it affected us.”Chau says businesses in Chinatown started closing, one by one.“As with any pandemic, we have people that would like to blame another group for the issue and this time is no exception,” said Wellington Chen, Executive Director of the Chinatown Partnership. “We understand, we’re sensitive to the pain, the loss, the death and the loss of job, the economic devastation. But we are in it just as much as anybody else.”Chen said Chinatown doesn't have enough visitors to recover. Normally packed streets are empty, but worry over another issue fills the air.“The number of anti-Asian harassment or hate crime has risen since the pandemic broke in Wuhan,” he said.That didn’t go unnoticed.“As far as I know, we are the first police department to have an Asian hate crime task force,” said Stewart Loo, the Commanding Officer of the New York Police Department’s Asian Hate Crime Task Force. The unit was announced in May to tackle the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans. The agency has investigated 26 cases this year, up from three last year.It’s something Officer Loo has personally experienced. “When I was 7 years old, I immigrated to America with my mom and my dad. When we got here, my dad took a job delivering Chinese food in Manhattan North, and during his time here, on more than one occasion, he was a victim of robbery,” he said. “We had to go through the process on the other side without having somebody that speaks our language.”“There is a lot of mistrust in the police department, especially in the Asian community, where the general public doesn't like to get involved too much even when they are victims of a crime,” Task Force Officer Jacky Wong said.They both explained breaking down the language barrier will help, as it did in Officer Wong’s first case.“I spoke to her in Cantonese, so I built a little rapport with her,” he said. “She was able to give us information that led to identifying those two suspects, which led to their apprehension.”“I’m glad the city is sending out this task force,” Chau said. “I won’t venture out to some place I’m not familiar, because it is, the fear it's there.”Not everyone believes police involvement is the right answer.“I think that the task force might be a band aid solution for the problem," said Jennifer Wang, Deputy Director of Programs for the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum. The organization was one of 26 Asian American organizations in New York that signed a letter saying they were against the creation of the task force.“The problem at its core might actually be that Asian Americans, we are a community of color and it’s very hard to trust that law enforcement will protect us,” Wang said.“Personally I would have never called the police in any of these situations I have encountered,” said Allison Park, also part of the Women’s Forum. She shared a few of her experiences from back in February. “I was on the subway and a group of I believe to be middle schoolers started coughing on each other and began shoving each other toward me. This really would not have been as big of a deal for me if it hadn't been for two prior incidents I had in San Francisco and [Washington] D.C.” she said.The task force aims to create a better, more understanding culture around reporting hate crimes.“This is absolutely very important for people that are victimized to come forward and press charges, because you could prevent another hate crime down the road,” Wong said.“To change people’s mind is not one day to another,” Chau said. 4470
