Price gouging complaints increase after Hurricane Helene
SUMMARY: In the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia, Florida residents are filing numerous complaints about price gouging, particularly regarding essential goods like fuel. Florida’s Attorney General’s office has received over 350 complaints, with many centered on allegations against gas stations for raising prices arbitrarily. While some believe certain service price increases, like demolition quotes, constitute price gouging, they may not meet the legal definition under Florida law, which protects against excessive pricing of essential goods during emergencies. Concerned individuals, like rental manager Alan Agoda, are actively reporting suspected fraudsters to ensure that those in need are not exploited.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Floridians are lodging more complaints to the state about price gouging.

New 3D technology could soon bring surgeons closer to patients in Africa’s most remote regions
SUMMARY: Charles Owusu Aseku, struggling with a keloid on his neck, had traveled extensively for treatment until he participated in Ghana’s first 3D telemedicine trial. The initiative, powered by Microsoft’s research team, allows remote consultations using a 3D model of the patient captured in a van equipped with advanced cameras and lighting. Multiple doctors from around the world assess the patient, offering diverse opinions. This technology addresses the scarcity of specialist doctors in Africa and provides patients in remote areas with expert consultations. Despite challenges like unreliable internet, the trial could improve access to medical care across the continent.
