The rally was led by defense stocks, with Rheinmetall up 3.1% and Renk gaining 4.1%, driven by expectations of increased defense spending under Germany’s new government. The conservative-led coalition finalized its governing agreement today, clearing the way for ministerial appointments, with CDU leader Friedrich Merz set to be sworn in as chancellor tomorrow.

Another year I’m here. I love the city. It’s good to be here another year,” Hill said but just really hit on the ceiling that I want I’m on the way to that and striving to get there.” The Bengals defense sputtered without Hill on the field in 2024 but all involved are hopeful that 2025 will result in bigger and better things A Division of NBCUniversal DISCLAIMER: This site and the products offered are for entertainment purposes only and there is no gambling offered on this site This service is intended for adult audiences No guarantees are made for any specific outcome If you or someone you know has a gambling problem Asian stocks hit their highest in over a month and US stock futures rose on Friday after China revealed it is reviewing trade talks with the US sparking hope that tariff tensions might ease Japanese stocks gained 1.1% after positive remarks from the country’s top trade negotiator The S&P 500 extended its winning streak to eight days supported by optimism that trade conflicts are cooling after Trump announced historic tariffs on April 2 this optimism is being challenged as investors focus on the US jobs report due today especially after weaker-than-expected earnings from Apple and Amazon Apple announced that it would cut its share buyback program and warned that tariffs could add as much as $900 million in costs this quarter European shares surged this morning on the US-China developments Shell gained 2.3% despite a 28% drop in first-quarter profits Standard Chartered rose 1.7% after reporting a 10% increase in quarterly profits Danske Bank climbed 3.9% as Denmark’s largest bank maintained its 2025 profit forecast and posted better-than-expected first-quarter earnings beating quarterly estimates across the board and confirming its annual outlook the US dollar headed for a third straight weekly gain while the Yen hit a three-week low against the greenback The Australian dollar gained 0.4% to 0.6396 to the greenback while New Zealand's kiwi dollar increased 0.3% to 0.5827 Gold prices have found some support at the 20-day MA and now trades back above the $3250/oz handle.

Oh, he got the multi-million-dollar memo for next year, but guys like position coach Charles Burks are thinking only about how he's got the legs that can help revive the Bengals' defense under new coordinator Al Golden right now "Dax unleashed," said Burks a few hours later after emerging from yet another skull session with Golden and his staff When you have a guy like Dax Hill who can do multiple things really well … he covers you put him in position to take advantage of his skill set." When Hill went down in the fifth game last season with a torn ACL It was the first time he played the position in the NFL after breaking into the league in 2022 as a first-rounder projected to play safety in the league following a career he primarily played the slot at Michigan and when he started and played more than 1,000 snaps at his new position the next year and I'm so happy to see a guy like that get rewarded," Burks said "I've watched every one of his practices since he's been here and not once have I ever seen him point the finger but he'd rather talk about the upcoming fourth season It's good to be here another year," Hill said I'm on the way to that and striving to get there." He thinks he's at the right position to do it "It's definitely something I can achieve," Hill said "It's just a matter of staying in that position and just doing it That's something I can say that I overcame I feel like I can adjust to and do it to the best of my ability." Burks is convinced Hill can play the nickel and not just because of what he did at Michigan But what he did against a Michigan quarterback when he was a rookie The 9-4 Bengals were riding a five-game winning streak and headed to Tampa Bay sniffing the playoffs at 9-4 when Burks sent Hill a text message the Tuesday before the game His second NFL start and first ever in the slot would come against Thomas Edward Patrick Brady "He had never practiced with us in the slot until that week," Burks said "No mental errors and he played his butt off against Tom Brady and we won a game we had to win there never should have been a question that Dax Hill can play in the slot." Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's pass is tipped and falls directly into the hands of Cincinnati Bengals safety Dax Hill Here's a guy, they believe, who goes toe-to-toe with NFL triple crown winner Ja’Marr Chase in practice and then in a game blitzes better than the league's top safeties "He is a cornerstone piece to our defense for the present and the future," Burks said and the man who broke 4.4 seconds in an NFL scouting combine 40-yard dash says it's beginning to feel natural again The sense is if he's not cleared for the start of training camp The NFL 2025 season schedule will be announced on Wednesday the league announced during the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft Some of the Bengals' high-profile defenders offered their first impressions of new coordinator Al Golden Monday when they reported to the first day of voluntary workouts at Paycor Stadium The Bengals were greeted with a change or two when they reported to Paycor Stadium Monday for offseason workouts FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - The DAX rose for the ninth consecutive trading day on Monday moving closer to its record high of mid-March the German stock market barometer was just over 100 points shy of its high of 23,476 The focus remains on hopes for rapid progress in possible tariff agreements between the US and other countries "Trading volumes remained fairly thin at the start of the week which is making the rally rather weak overall," market expert Andreas Lipkow said With a gain of 1.12 percent to 23,344.54 points the German benchmark index closed just below its daily high reached shortly before The start of May had already been positive at the end of last week with a continuation of the recovery rally Since the sell-off at the beginning of April in the wake of the tariff conflicts triggered by the US For analyst Jochen Stanzl of broker CMC Markets only "a correction in an intact bull market."

The DAX is likely to take a slower approach to returning to its record high on Monday Around two and a half hours before the start of trading on Xetra broker IG estimated the German benchmark index to be 0.3 percent lower at 23,026 points The focus remains on hopes and fears that progress will soon be made in possible tariff agreements with the US with a continuation of the rally that brought the German benchmark index back up to within 400 points of its record high of 23,476 points Investors are now focusing on managing the sharp 2.6 percent rise seen last Friday is not expected to provide new impetus until later in the week Since the sell-off at the beginning of April experts at UBS believe that the period of volatility is not over yet as uncertainty about US President Donald Trump's tariff policy remains The tariffs he announced on certain car parts came into force on Saturday "My underpants are sitting on the ground," he said remembering a recent episode of his podcast that featured an uninvited guest Emlyn Travis is a news writer at Entertainment Weekly with over five years of experience covering the latest in entertainment and awards for multiple outlets including MTV News There’s nothing like that feeling of setting off on an adventure – the anticipation of ending the day somewhere other than where you started hoping that you’ve got everything you need knowing that you’re the one in control and ready to enjoy the freedom that comes with being a genuine saddle tramp it was an easy to say ‘yes’ when I was asked to take part in the famous Dragon Rally in North Wales on behalf of MCN earlier this year I’ve ridden thousands of miles in various far-flung places around the globe, and regardless of whether I’ve been swinging a leg to kickstart a Royal Enfield Bullet in South India peeling out from a dealership onto Route 66 or just rolling off the Eurotunnel at Calais invigorating and the best soul food there is As I leapt out of bed at 3.30am on a sharply cold I was filled with that familiar feeling once again I could hear the road calling like an old friend and I had to forcibly hold myself back to slowly and methodically suit up ensuring I’ve got everything where it needs to be and nothing gets left behind This trip would be a little different to the overland experiences that fuelled my fix back in the day as I was trying to recreate a particular adventure that has been an obsession of mine for years And it involved deliberately making life difficult for myself I don’t know what it was that initially brought the Dragon Rally to my attention but once it was in my head I just couldn’t shake it off There was something compellingly intriguing about the secrecy surrounding it the old school way with which it was organised and the fascinating fact that thousands of motorcyclists would turn out to meet up for one night in a field in North Wales on the second weekend of February Applying for tickets was all done by post and involved sending off a cheque (remember those?) with a couple of self-addressed envelopes – one for your entry ticket and the other which would be returned in the weeks leading up to the event to provide details of the check point from where the actual location of the rally would be revealed Nowadays it’s all done via email and bank transfers After a couple of false starts, I eventually broke my Dragon duck in 2022 which also happened to be the 60th anniversary of the event but amidst the 60mph winds and driving rain I discovered a warm and welcoming community where many a tale was told of far worse weekends in years past It was through talking to veteran rally goers, whilst huddled around homemade braziers beneath billowing tarps, that I learned how it used to be in the early days, when it was as much of a challenge to make it to the checkpoint as it was to endure the unpredictable winter weather under canvas There was no stopover in a B&B the night before and why the campsite is kept secret until the day of the event and with machines being what they were at the time Small capacity bikes are a popular choice for the modern Dragon, and for me that captures the traditional, pioneering spirit on which the rally was incepted. Certainly in terms of average speed and comfort anyway, and that’s how I found myself loaded up to the eyeballs on a Honda ST125 Dax with 250 miles ahead of me and dawn yet to break As I rode forth into the darkness of the Fens it became immediately apparent that The tiny LED headlamp barely managed to emit a glow by which to see and on full beam I was more dazzled by the blue indicator lamp than gifted a panoramic vista Every imperfection in the road surface seemed to send the 12” rims skittering while the suspension needed all the flexibility in my elbows and upper body to soak up the bumps It was perfect and I felt oddly inspired, despite the fact that my common sense was screaming at me to turn back. How long would 250 miles take? My half-assed route planning had involved simply turning off the highways option on my Beeline app (the little Beeline Moto 2 navigator was the only thing that seemed apt on the bars) which estimated I’d reach the checkpoint at Conwy Castle in just under 5 hours What I’d failed to consider was the average speed that was likely based on when that figure was actually more representative of my top speed and filled with the joy that Honda builds into its pint sized machines I had been a bit concerned as to how my smidge-under-six-foot frame would fit the Dax Thankfully the designers had taken this into account effectively making the ST125’s seat big enough for two so even though I was loaded up I had plenty of room and a backrest to boot some 90 miles and nearly three hours later The sky became lighter as I topped up the four-litre tank for the first time in Nottingham and a quick calculation had my mpg at around 115 for a cost of £4.70 I certainly wouldn’t be maxing out the credit card on this trip Now I could actually see where I was going I’d just been so hyper focused on navigating the inky blackness that I’d not really been thinking about anything – accidental zen It’s usually a state of mind I’d reach after hundreds of miles in the saddle With the world around me revealed I pushed on with renewed vigour ready to start tackling traffic and whatever the day had to throw at me An unavoidable spell on one of my least favourite roads ripped me away from the comfort I was enjoying on my rural route and although the Dax could just about hold its own in terms of pace I had to ride elbows out to not get swamped by wagons buses and basically everyone else who was head down on the morning commute I’d covered 175 miles and was still smiling – had I lost my mind without realising it With the little Honda puttering away beneath me everything had taken on a slightly surreal glow… people were smiling at me and I felt no urge to pin the throttle and crack on as I normally might Cars seemed to wait for me to pass and even made way as I filtered – I was contented with just being letting things unfold in front as and when they were ready to A delightful detour down to the A5 led me through the Welsh hills to Conwy and after nine hours alone in the saddle it’s fair to say that I actually felt a bit overwhelmed as I rolled up to the checkpoint at Conwy Motorcycle Club’s HQ and I added my own feeling of relief and achievement to the collective euphoria from all those who had made it too – and there were more than a few kindred spirits on little bikes It was only 18 miles from there to the official campsite but that final stage was more like a victory lap where we could bask in the glory of having made it before setting up camp to tell our own tales of having conquered the Dragon It seems that a disproportionate number of Dragon goers ride small capacity machines but it’s not just about doing something different for this annual rally as YouTuber Dean Lambert of Monkey Dix Adventures explains ‘I’ve not owned a big bike for five years now I just fell in love with it and have never gone back to show people how fantastic they are.’ A Facebook group and that created a community that’s now 3,000 strong everyone enjoys the fact that we can just go and do things together on these little bikes And when you do a big ride it feels like more of an achievement when you do it on something that’s not really made for it.’ Among Dean’s adventures has been a 2,600 mile ride on his Monkey to raise funds and awareness for Andy’s Man Club ‘I’d had my own issues with anxiety and panic attacks which has given me real empathy for people going through the same kind of thing People from the group let us camp in their gardens so it cost next to nothing.’ Dean organises monthly meet ups where they ride out and find somewhere to cook but it creates a safe space for people to open up and talk about things.’ And that’s the wonderful thing about little bikes they’re both and ice breaker and a leveller As an indication of the wider appeal of small capacity motorcycling the ‘Great Fun on Small Bikes’ facebook group has attracted more than 94k members in six years It caters for sub-250cc machines and admin Rob Claire had ridden up from Deal in Kent Working out what to wear was a bit of a challenge not least because I’d left it to the last minute These days I seem to be in either touring textiles or leathers but I wasn’t planning to undress for the next 40 hours so wanted to keep it practical and comfortable Foundations first, and the Zerofit Heatrub Ultimate Base Layer was a no-brainer as not only does it keep your body temp on an even keel but it also actually generates heat as you move I find a few gentle on-board aerobics is all it takes to get the fibres working leggings and sock combo I felt suitably insulated A regular long-sleeved t-shirt followed for the top half with a pair of Roadskin Cargo trousers for the lower decks The Roadskins are double layered with a Kevlar lining and mesh inner That construction makes them feel heavy duty but the fit is relaxed so they’re super comfortable regardless – ideal for squatting on the Dax for hours on end CE certification is AA and the armour (hip and knee) is level 2 Heated kit has become essential winter gear for me as I can wear fewer layers and feel less trussed up than in the ‘good old days’ when I used to shove an MCN down my front to stay warm for the mid layer I plumped for a Macna Ascent heated jacket which I hooked direct to the bike’s battery This had the added advantage of being able to power a pair of their Rafino RTX heated gloves for the journey as well as an auxiliary battery pack so I could keep warm when I got there too Fox’s Defend boots have been a firm favourite of mine since I picked up a pair at the end of last summer summer The military/walking boot design makes them as comfortable on the bike as off so it didn’t take too much thought to slip into those They’re mid height with a Gore-Tex membrane and D3O inserts and have the higher CE rating of 2 across the board but it’s actually a complex laminate with triple layer

Free NewsletterUK Join the newsletter that everyone in finance secretly reads as the DAX index rose by 2.62% – sparked by upbeat manufacturing data showing output at a 37-month high For markets: German optimism meets global uncertainty. The DAX index's surge signifies investor optimism about Germany's manufacturing gains. Nonetheless, potential US tariffs cast a shadow, especially for exporters. This suggests investors should tread carefully when eyeing the European market: although current sentiment is positive, future trade relations and costs demand close attention. The bigger picture: Trade tensions and economic resilience. The rise in German stocks, despite international tensions, highlights the complex interplay between national economic success and global trade policies. Germany's manufacturing prowess shows resilience, yet the looming threat of US tariffs means businesses and policymakers must navigate potential economic headwinds with care. These factors could significantly influence not only Germany's economy but also the broader EU trade landscape.

She added, "There were no sparks whatsoever." The "Frozen" star shared a similar sentiment to People in 2019 admitting she doesn't buy into the classic rom-com trope after experiencing real-life love "All these movies from the '80s taught us that it's love at first sight and it is supposed to be easy and [that] all you have to do is find that person," she said that was such a lie,' because things that you work really really hard for always yield the best results." as it encourages women to date based on what they think love should look like a relationship that takes longer to develop into romance can be more fulfilling than one that begins with instant chemistry As Orna Walters and Matthew Walters explained caring enough about your relationship to get counselling is anything but a red flag "The effort to work on a marriage is a sign of love and commitment and is not a red flag," they said "Seeking professional help in a marriage ought to be viewed as having an executive coach for a career People who hire a coach aren't looking for a different vocation they're often looking to level up in order to have better skills in their current occupation." but there is a foundational trust that we've built that keeps us together and is quite stimulated by one another's opinions." Orna and Matthew Walters agreed Bell and Shepard being fundamentally different isn't necessarily something to be worried about as he praised the duo for how they've navigated not always being on the same page "It's the differences between two people that create the spark of attraction and keep chemistry alive in a marriage," they told us "Working through their differences allows them to build resiliency in the relationship." You'd be forgiven for believing a couple who falls out in such a dramatic way that one of them sleeps on the couch is heading for splitsville. But while a night away from the marital bed may not be a green flag, it's not always a dealbreaker either. Kristen Bell opened up about a screaming match fight she once had with Dax Shepard on "Life is Short with Justin Long" in 2020 around the time they were finding things tough amid Covid-19 restrictions angry fight about how nobody does anything for anybody else," she said "I grabbed my pillow and stomped down the hall and I sleep in the front room and I'm crying having a repair practice creates a safe space to heal and reconnect," Orna and Matthew shared On the March 12 episode of Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, the actor opened up about his free-range parenting style with Jonathan Haidt Haidt praised Shepard for his parenting style and emphasized the importance of letting children problem solve and make choices when they encounter obstacles “The gut response is why should you take any risk,” Haidt says If I don’t train my child how to take risk .. I’m creating a child who won’t be able to deal with the world Free-range parenting is a philosophy that emphasizes free play increased independence and limited parental intervention Advocates of the practice argue constant supervision restricts a child’s natural process developing resilience and encourages children to problem solve without direct supervision Lenore Skenazy, the author of “Free-Range Kids: How Parents and Teachers Can Let Go and Let Grow,” said in a 2020 Armchair Expert episode that constant parental intervention is a “disempowering “There's something lost to the kids when they are constantly under surveillance and constantly helped and assisted and supervised,” says Skenazy Shepard says he had an “inordinate amount of free time and responsibility” as a child and started working in cornfields at 12 years old in the summer which he says makes him predisposed to embracing the “anti helicopter” parenting movement Proponents of protective parenting argue free-range parenting increases the risk children encounter danger and can result in neglect when children are improperly supervised. Free-range parents also may run into legal issues; states like Illinois and Oregon don’t allow children to be left alone under the ages of 14 and 10 What health and wellness means for you: Sign up for USA TODAY's Keeping it Together newsletter Skenazy says constant overprotection inadvertently creates vulnerable kids who don’t know how to respond to adverse situations giving kids a “practical roadmap” for how to stay safe can be empowering As hands-off as Skenazy and Haidt are about kids in the real world they advocate for a more restricted online one “I just deep panicked that they were going to get obsessed with it,” Shepard says I want to do whatever,’ and they charge it.” Haidt describes that America underwent a “moral panic” throughout the 1990s when there was a disproportionate level of concern about kidnappings and sex trafficking as parents simultaneously stopped trusting their neighbors resulting in a “clamp down on the autonomy of children.” parents are afraid to let their kids run around outside because they're afraid they'll get picked up by a sex predator,” Haidt says sex predators can easily contact children on social media More: What type of parent are you? Lawnmower? Helicopter? Attachment? Tiger? Free-range? Haidt advocates for four norms for parents and schools: no smartphones until high school responsibility and freedom in the real world Haidt acknowledged that parents who restrict phone use may isolate their children socially if they're the only kids in their class without a smartphone He emphasized that the four norms will only function as proper solutions if parents collectively decide not to give their kids smartphones if they have just a few other kids that they can hang around with is assessing what's at stake,” Shepard says “If you don't drive a car you're not going anywhere in your life and if your kids don't have this sense of competence and autonomy they're going to miss out on where the car takes you.” Skenazy advocated for teaching children the three R's when it comes to threats: Recognize and said she embraces the idea that when adults step back “Tell your kids that if something happens to them that makes them feel bad or sad they can talk to you about it,” Skenazy says Haidt says kids are antifragile — meant to learn from challenges and they go out there into the world and they're doing things they're just always afraid because they think everything's risky Which one do you want for your kid?” Haidt says Rachel Hale’s role covering Youth Mental Health at USA TODAY is supported by a partnership with Pivotal Ventures and Journalism Funding Partners.

The Cincinnati Bengals have exercised their fifth-year option on cornerback Dax Hill putting him under contract through the 2026 season The deadline for teams to pick up the option year on first-round picks from the 2022 draft is Thursday He is coming back from a torn ACL in his right knee that occurred in Cincinnati's overtime loss to Baltimore in Week 5 last season “I’m really excited about Dax’s future,” coach Zac Taylor said in a statement “We see an ascending player who attacks each day the right way I can’t wait to see him back on the field making plays for us this season.” Hill was listed as a safety his first two seasons in the league before moving to cornerback last season He has 2 1/2 sacks and two interceptions in 37 games Hill will earn $12.68 million in 2026 with the Bengals picking up the option The Newsday app makes it easier to access content without having to log in Unlimited Digital AccessOnly 25¢for 6 months The Cincinnati Bengals plan to exercise their fifth-year option on 2022 first-round pick cornerback Dax Hill, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler it gives the team and Hill an additional year together without agreeing to a contract extension Hill will be under contract with the Bengals through the 2026 season on a pre-determined salary The NFL allows this option for teams for only first-round picks and the fifth-year option was created to give teams one more season of control over their first-round pick Hill’s salary for the 2026 season is projected to be $12.682 million, according to OverTheCap.com 31 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of the University of Michigan the team knows what they have with the player and it's an easy decision to pick up the fifth-year option The situation with Hill is complicated for a number of reasons Dax Hill history with the Cincinnati BengalsWhen the Bengals selected Hill the vision was for him to be Jessie Bates’ replacement It was clear the Bengals and Bates were going to be going their separate ways after the season and Hill was picked to be the future at the position Hill started in two games in the 2022 season while sitting behind Bates in his first season The 2023 season was always the year planned by all for Hill to take over as the full-time starter Hill’s first year as a starter didn’t go as planned He was inconsistent and the Bengals’ play in the secondary reflected a disconnect at the safety position alongside Nick Scott who was benched in the middle of the season and then cut following the year Hill struggled to be able to communicate and often failed to make plays in coverage when needed The Bengals went out and signed safety Geno Stone to replace Hill as their free safety Dax Hill move to cornerbackAfter the 2023 season coach Zac Taylor moved Hill to cornerback where he battled DJ Turner for a starting spot during training camp “We think it's the best opportunity right now to help our team,” Taylor said in April of 2024 Hill excelled in his position switch to outside cornerback during the offseason and training camp He beat Turner out for the starting role and played on the opposite side of Cam Taylor-Britt Hill appeared to have found his home as an outside cornerback in the NFL and was Cincinnati’s best cover cornerback last season until he suffered a torn ACL limiting him to just five games This is why the Bengals’ decision on Hill’s future is multifaceted but now we know they'll have the next two seasons to figure it out will the Bengals keep him at outside cornerback where he was playing his best football Or will defensive coordinator Al Golden move Hill to nickel cornerback where Mike Hilton served as the team’s starter for the last three seasons The team is high on second-year cornerback Josh Newton and his best home appears to be inside at slot cornerback He will enter the offseason program with a chance to win the starting spot DJ Turner for cornerback positionCincinnati’s No 2 starting cornerback spot is up for grabs again this season Turner has yet to prove he can stay healthy for the full season after his season was also cut short last year due to injury The ideal situation for the Bengals would likely be to have Cam Taylor-Britt Turner and Hill all competing again for starting jobs outside and Newton winning the job inside There’s also this question: If Hill doesn't return with the same speed and athleticism the Bengals need to give Hill a clear direction on where his home is going to be Paying Hill almost $13 million to be a slot cornerback would be expensive for the position That’s why it seems like the most logical thing for the Bengals to do is to give Hill a chance to get comfortable playing outside and keep him there for the next two seasons if they do pick up his option Most No.1 outside cornerbacks in the NFL make north of $20 million on an average annual basis If Hill ends up returning to the form he was playing at before injuring his knee There’s no question about Hill’s talent and what he can bring to the Bengals’ defense when healthy and in the right position The Bengals owe themselves and Hill the opportunity to find out where he truly belongs in the NFL MLS pundit Dax

mother and siblings her doctor is the most notable part of the image typing on the computer — with his back to the patient published alongside an article titled “The Cost of Technology,” is emblematic of the unintended consequences of healthcare innovation With more tools for physicians to use and greater demands on their time technology can easily become a barrier between the clinician and the patient in 2023 approximately 53% of physicians surveyed by Medscape reported feeling burned out bureaucratic demands and loss of work-life balance due to administrative requirements are leading causes Our mission has always been to help clinicians turn their chairs around by providing the support they need to fully focus their attention on delivering care and we’ve translated that goal into reality After establishing the ambient technology category the first generative AI voice-enabled solution which has been generally available for one year DAX Copilot leverages health systems’ existing investments in the trusted family of Dragon Medical solutions which is used by more than 600,000 clinicians worldwide DAX Copilot combines proven conversational and ambient AI with generative AI to automatically convert multiparty conversations into specialty-specific standardized draft clinical summaries that integrate with existing workflows DAX Copilot was the first ambient solution to be integrated into the Epic electronic health record (EHR) workflow and allows clinicians to seamlessly document patient visits directly within the EHR more than 400 organizations have already embraced its revolutionary capabilities streamlining administrative tasks and lightening clinicians’ documentation workloads This transformative year has highlighted many of the ways we’re helping empower healthcare teams today and bringing joy back to practicing medicine for thousands of clinicians DAX Copilot is helping Northwestern Medicine in Chicago improve patient access to care with physicians using the solution in at least 50% of patient encounters and able to see an average of 11.3 additional patients per month DAX Copilot users at Northwestern Medicine also report spending an average of 24% less time on notes and a 17% decrease in “pajama time,” working on administrative tasks late into the night “Northwestern Medicine is committed to providing a superior work environment that promotes well-being and implementing DAX Copilot will allow our physicians to spend more quality time with our patients focusing on their needs rather than on paperwork and data entry,” says Dr Overlake Medical Center & Clinics in Bellevue deployed DAX Copilot to help reduce after-hours documentation time and equip its clinicians with tools to manage escalating demands A pilot with 30 Overlake clinicians saw a significant reduction in time spent on notes outside of scheduled hours Users also reported other important benefits: 81% said DAX Copilot had reduced their cognitive burden and 77% said the solution had improved the quality of their documentation At Atrium Health “DAX Copilot is enabling a better clinician experience,” says Dr senior medical director of primary care at Atrium Health “Most of our surveyed users are reporting a positive impact on their day-to-day schedule being able to increase the number of patients they are able to see and even spending more time with them.” Atrium Health isn’t alone in finding that the time saved on documentation with DAX Copilot is having a positive impact on clinicians’ quality of life. “I finally have weekends back,” says Dr. Christy Chan, a family medicine physician at Overlake “I used to always have to worry that there was something I had to do — get back onto the EMR log back in — but I actually have some weekends back.” Clinicians at Novant Health are experiencing similar benefits “DAX Copilot has done an amazing thing for the physicians and clinicians who are currently using it,” says Dr “When you hear a comment like ‘I am now able to do things with my daughter in the evenings and weekends that I couldn’t do before,’ nothing satisfies us more than knowing the impact DAX is having on our clinicians.” Community Health Network places a major focus on clinician well-being and implementing DAX Copilot has had a major impact on its clinicians’ ability to close notes before they leave for the day I have not left clinic with an open note,” says Dr chief transformation officer for Community Health Network it’s really the clinician satisfaction that we’ve seen It transforms how we’re able to deliver care and how we’re able to document it It also transforms the patient experience.” “DAX Copilot has made my professional life easier My patients have also benefited from my using Nuance DAX during our appointments I can be right there with the patient and not furiously writing notes I cannot thank you enough,” said Anita M Dr. Dominick Lanzo, an orthopedic surgeon at Greater Baltimore Medical Center “Once I introduced the DAX Copilot program it completely transformed the patient experience and it’s turned out to be incredibly accurate with regards to the history of present illness and the physical exam,” he says “It’s made my practice much more efficient and they’re done in a timely fashion by the end of the afternoon.” For Dr. Alison Pomykala, an internal medicine specialist at Baptist Medical Group the integration of DAX Copilot with the Epic EHR is particularly valuable “The thing I like most about DAX Copilot embedded in the Epic workflow is I’m able to focus more on the patient and I’m spending less time in the exam room typing on the computer,” she says “I think the interface is wonderful with Epic It has been great to see the notes coming up basically in real time on the Epic system That’s also helped with other things: where we needed to generate a note quickly for referrals or to have a complete note ready for a patient that we’re sending to the hospital.” integrating DAX Copilot has revolutionized patient care,” says Dr co-president and CEO at Cooper University Health Care “By automating clinical documentation through ambient voice technology it has significantly reduced administrative workloads This allows our physicians to focus on real-time patient interactions leading to better care outcomes and increased job satisfaction DAX Copilot has not only improved efficiency but has also empowered our team to spend more time where it matters most — caring for patients.” It’s a privilege to see this industry-leading solution make a meaningful

Germany's DAX index rose by 0.32% today as investors digested the latest updates on inflation and corporate performances from companies like Volkswagen and Symrise Symrise's stock value rose 0.79% after an endorsement from Mwb Research The DAX’s movement reflects an economic balancing act. With inflation under control but growth uncertain, monitoring consumer sentiment and spending is crucial for predicting market trends. Investors should weigh potential slowdowns against sector-specific successes like Symrise's achievements. The bigger picture: Stability on shaky ground.
