But he had a lot of downtime — and he's "not good with having a lot of downtime," the 37-year-old told Business Insider. Roughly three months later, he was secretly working two full-time remote jobs and earning about $225,000 a year in combined income. Luke wasn't sure if his job juggling had been exposed or if the company just changed its mind — he never found out. However, after weighing the challenges the hybrid policy would present, in addition to the other downsides of job juggling, Luke ultimately decided that "the juice wasn't worth the squeeze."

That added to the massive debt burdens already placed on the hospitals by their for-profit owners, deepening their financial woes. In January, MPT reported that its biggest tenant, a nationwide chain of 32 hospitals called Steward, could no longer pay its rent. The core idea was simple: to buy hospital real estate, pocket the lease payments, and use the money to reward investors. The more hospital real estate that MPT buys, the more money it makes in rent payments from the hospitals. But that doesn't mean that MPT's leaders didn't get rich off its hospital deals.

☆ Maine lobstermen are getting into the seaweed business as climate change threatens the catch

Lobsters have long been a staple of the Maine economy, worth roughly $388 million last year alone, but climate change is putting the catch at risk. Now lobstermen and women, along with local entrepreneurs, are turning to a new and potentially even more lucrative staple: Seaweed. Seaweed is also a natural carbon sink, helping the ocean to absorb excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Aquaculture in general, and seaweed in particular, is an essential economic driver for the state of Maine. Atlantic Sea Farms works with 27 lobstermen up and down the coast.

June 22 (Reuters) - Pop star Kesha on Thursday settled a lawsuit brought by her former producer Dr. Luke, who claimed that she defamed him by accusing him of raping her. Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, denied assaulting Kesha and said it was "time for me to put this difficult matter behind me and move on with my life." A lawyer for Dr. Luke had no further comment, and a lawyer for Kesha could not immediately be reached for comment. The court also said that Kesha should be allowed to file counterclaims against Dr. Luke for emotional distress, punitive damages and legal fees. In 2014, Kesha sued Dr. Luke and Sony Group's (6758.T) Sony Music in order to get out of her multi-album recording deal, saying the producer had drugged and raped her in 2005.

Testele clinice asupra Farxiga "nu au atins nivelul statistic suficient" pentru a preveni mortalitatea, explică grupul într-un comunicat.Acestea sunt primele rezultate ale unor teste clinice din faza a 3-a realizate pe un eşantion de 1.250 de persoane, în colaborare cu institutul american specializat în boli cardio-vasculare Saint Luke's Mid America.Obiectivul era cel de a evalua eficienţa Farxiga asupra unor pacienţi spitalizaţi cu COVID-19 şi care riscă să dezvolte complicaţii, în special cei care prezintă deja alte patologii precum hipertensiunea, diabetul sau boli de inimă sau de rinichi.Rezultatele complete ale testelor vor fi dezvăluite în luna mai.Acesta este un nou eşec pentru AstraZeneca, al cărui vaccin împotriva COVID-19 suscită multe semne de întrebare, în special cu privire la posibile efecte secundare cum sunt cheagurile de sânge, notează AFP.Unele ţări au oprit utilizarea vaccinului, în timp ce altele au fixat alte limite de vârstă. De exemplu, acest vaccin este rezervat celor peste 30 de ani în Regatul Unit, unde a fost utilizat în masă.De asemenea, este perturbată distribuirea serului, care înregistrează în mod regulat întârzieri, cum s-a întâmplat săptămâna trecută şi în Uniunea Europeană.AstraZeneca mai dezvoltă un tratament prin anticorpi împotriva COVID-19, ultimele teste fiind în curs la nivel mondial.Guvernul american a finanţat dezvoltarea acestui medicament şi grupul prevede să furnizeze în acest an în SUA până la 700.000 de doze, scrie agerpres.ro.
