There are many reasons why Amy Wallace wishes Virginia Roberts Giuffre was still alive. Some are personal. Some are practical. But at its heart pulse the reverberations of a child sex trafficking scandal that reaches into palaces and courtrooms across the globe. Wallace is the now very visible ghostwriter behind the posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl, by Jeffrey Epstein’s best-known accuser. “I was supposed to be the invisible ghostwriter, which I was perfectly happy to be and that’s what I signed up to do,” Wallace says. But Giuffre’s April 2025 suicide at her farm near Perth catapulted her impending memoir, and its San-Francisco-based author, into a spotlight that was already burning brightly. double quotation mark Virginia wanted to help other people who had any kind of trauma. Amy Wallace “Because I stepped forward at the publisher’s request and promoted the book, people got in touch with me to tell me how the book had affected them,” Wallace says. “If I could show Virginia one email of all the emails that I have gotten, it is actually from a woman in Australia.” The email came from a 70-year-old woman who said Giuffre’s book helped her understand the impact of having been abused by a neighbour as a five-year-old – a fact she had never disclosed to anyone. Men too spoke of how the book helped them make sense of past horrors, Wallace says. There were 40,087 victims of sexual assault recorded in Australia in 2024 – an increase of 10% on the previous year, according to the Bureau of Statistics. “It is moving, and I know that is the reason that Virginia wrote the book. She was very clear about it – she wanted to help other people who had any kind of trauma.” “I just know that [the emails] would have made her so proud.” This Sunday, at the All About Women 2026 festival in Sydney, Wallace and British journalist Emily Maitlis will examine the institutions that turned a blind eye to Epstein’s dark world. In 2019, Maitlis famously put then prince Andrew, the duke of York, o...

Humanity is heating the planet faster than ever before, a study has found. Climate breakdown is occurring more rapidly with the heating rate almost doubling, according to research that excludes the effect of natural factors behind the latest scorching temperatures. It found global heating accelerated from a steady rate of less than 0.2C per decade between 1970 and 2015 to about 0.35C per decade over the past 10 years. The rate is higher than scientists have seen since they started systematically taking the Earth’s temperature in 1880. “If the warming rate of the past 10 years continues, it would lead to a long-term exceedance of the 1.5C (2.7F) limit of the Paris agreement before 2030,” said Stefan Rahmstorf, a scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and co-author of the study. Extreme heat in recent years has been pushed higher by natural fluctuations – such as solar cycles, volcanic eruptions, and the weather pattern El Niño – that have led scientists to question whether startling temperature readings are outliers or the result of an increase in global heating. The researchers applied a noise-reduction method to filter out the estimated effect of nonhuman factors in five major datasets that scientists have compiled to gauge the Earth’s temperature. In each of them, they found an acceleration in global heating emerged in 2013 or 2014. “There is now pretty widespread – if not quite universal – agreement that there has been a detectable acceleration in warming in recent years,” said Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist at Berkeley Earth, who was not involved in the study. “However, it remains unclear how much of the additional warming over the past decade in particular is a forced response versus unforced variability.” The blanket of carbon pollution smothering the Earth has heated the planet by about 1.4C since preindustrial levels, compounded by a recent drop in cooling sulphur pollutants that had provided temporary relief. A study Hausfather...

格隆汇3月6日｜分析师Enda Curran表示，尽管市场高度关注人工智能对就业的替代作用，但从这份就业报告来看，新技术对劳动力市场的影响并未显现出直接的破坏力。相反，比起机器人，对就业造成更沉重打击的似乎是天气和罢工等“传统风险”。

3月5日，在十四届全国人大四次会议首场“部长通道”上，工业和信息化部部长李乐成表示，2025年，我国工业增加值41.7万亿元，对经济增长的贡献率35%，我国工业体系门类齐全的优势、全球第一制造大国的地位更加巩固。 李乐成进一步表示，我国先进制造业的发展态势可以用向新、向优、向智、向绿四个词来描述。其中，“向新”是指发展新动能强劲，新能源汽车的产销量再创新高，连续11年位居全球第一。 “向新”不仅是跃升的产值，更是消费者实实在在的购买力。中国汽车流通协会发布的2月汽车消费指数升至72.9，较1月明显上升，预示车市正从春节淡季的谷底稳步修复。 △汽车消费指数趋势图 图源：中国汽车流通协会 进入3月，全国以旧换新补贴实现省域全覆盖、充电设施新规正式落地、车企春季促销活动密集启动，业内机构和专家普遍认为，3月销量回升可期。 海外市场表现亮眼 刚刚过去的2月，汽车终端零售承压。受春节假期影响，全月有效销售工作日仅16天，较去年同期减少3天，叠加返乡过节导致的门店客流锐减，市场进入传统销售淡季。 乘联分会秘书长崔东树分析指出，今年春节9天假期，大部分车企在春节前后多休年假，导致有效产销时间很短，预计2月车市销量将处于年内绝对谷底期。 从官方已披露的销量数据看，大多数车企上月的销量遭遇了同比、环比双双下滑。其中，吉利汽车（00175.HK）2月销量‌20.62万辆‌，同比增长0.6%，成为唯一同比正增长的头部自主车企。‌比亚迪（01211.HK）销量为19.02万辆‌，同比大幅下滑41.1%，但海外市场表现亮眼。 造车新势力月销量全部回落到3万辆以下。鸿蒙智行以28212辆的交付量继续领跑，零跑汽车（09863.HK）交付28067辆，紧随其后。小米汽车2月交付量超20000辆。小鹏汽车（09868.HK）则在新势力中排名垫底，2月交付15256辆。 值得注意的是，海外市场成为2月车市的一大亮点，部分车企海外销量首次超越国内。比亚迪2月海外销量达10万辆，同比增长41.4%，实现“海外超国内”的历史性突破。奇瑞汽车2月海外销量11.7万辆，占其总销量比重超七成；长城汽车海外销量4.3万辆，同比增长37.36%。 经销商层面承受的库存压力同样不容忽视。中国汽车流通协会调查显示，2026年2月中国汽车经销商库存预警指数为56.2%，虽同比下降0.7个百分点、环比下降3.2个百分点，但...

Oracle (ORCL) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future. Shares of this software maker have returned +13.4% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +0.6% change. The Zacks Computer - Software industry, to which Oracle belongs, has gained 5.3% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term? While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making. Revisions to Earnings Estimates Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock. We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. Oracle is expected to post earnings of $1.70 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +15.7%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged.

Investors Heavily Search Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN): Here is What You Need to Know Yahoo Finance

In this article CVNA Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT A used car dealership is seen in Annapolis, Maryland on May 27, 2021, as many car dealerships across the country are running low on new vehicles as a computer chip shortage has caused production at many vehicle manufactures to nearly stop. Jim Watson | AFP | Getty Images DETROIT — A closely watched barometer for used vehicle pricing jumped last month as dealers sped to increase inventories amid expectations of a robust spring selling season . Cox Automotive on Friday reported its Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index — which tracks prices of used vehicles sold at its U.S. wholesale auctions — increased 4% in February compared with a year earlier, to a level of 212.3. That was up 0.8% from January and marks the index's highest level since September 2023. "Since the start of 2026, we've seen mostly solid demand at Manheim with higher sales conversion rates indicating an appetite from dealers to buy. As we progressed through February, we saw prices move higher than usual, especially in the back half of the month," said Jeremy Robb, Cox chief economist. Robb said the buying optimism was fueled by expected higher tax returns for American consumers, which offset broader economic and geopolitical concerns. However, the war in Iran introduces risks to the economy and may "put a damper on consumer appetite in the short run," he said. "This could slow the building pace we see on the back of tax refund season, particularly as gas prices rise. All in, the impact may be more acutely felt early in the month, with a pickup in demand building as we move through March," Robb said. Used vehicle prices remain high compared with historical levels but are off from record highs during the coronavirus pandemic, when resilient demand and low inventories inflated prices. Retail prices for consumers traditionally follow changes in wholesale prices. The average listing price for a used vehicle in January was $25,533. That compare...

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images High yield investment doesn't have to be static For investors who like to set it and forget it in early or on-time retirement, high-yield vehicles [outside of single stocks] are very popular dividend and income factories. These usually fall into a few different categories. These are the ones that tend to be the most popular from my observation: Covered call/put and option funds, with or without an equity holding component. Business development companies [BDCs]. Limited/Master Limited partnerships and MLP funds. Closed-end funds or mutual funds that distribute capital gains. The assumption that high-yield investors want to live on dividends can also imply that many of their assets are in a taxable brokerage account. Having a taxable brokerage is one of the only ways to retire before the age of 59.5. There are some other options for US based investors, like separating from service at the age of 55 and being able to tap your 401 k. Another would be the IRS rule 72t, allowing one to have access to pre-tax investment accounts through a set schedule of equally periodic payments. These payments usually equate to a roughly 5% portfolio distribution rate if you started at age 50 until full access is granted at age 55 or 59.5, depending on the type of pre-tax account. The calculation for this is quite complex and beyond the scope of this article. For those taking advantage of a taxable account and shooting for 8% on a hypothetical million-dollar account, they could be able to attain about $80,000 a year and strategically be taxed at favorable brackets. The problem with high-yield investing is that most fund yields are static or variable based on a distribution of the fund's net asset value. Many are also taxed at ordinary income rates. While this is an impediment vs. typical dividend growth investing, where the dividend CAGR can often approach 10% per year if invested correctly, you can still make your yield grow in a 'DIY' manner.

City Detect, a company that uses vision AI to help local governments monitor the health of buildings and neighborhoods, announced on Friday a $13 million Series A round led by Prudence Venture Capital. The startup launched in 2021, and Gavin Baum-Blake, the remaining co-founder, serves as CEO. He said the company was founded in part because cities were struggling to deal with “urban blight and decay.” The idea was to use advanced computer vision and AI technology to help cities track and fix such problems. City Detect mounts cameras on public vehicles like garbage trucks and street sweepers, captures photos of surrounding buildings as those vehicles pass, then uses computer vision to analyze the images. It’s essentially a Google Maps Street View, but focused on ensuring buildings are up to code. “The problems could be graffiti, illegal dumping, litter that’s on the side of the road,” Baum-Blake told TechCrunch. Then, City Detect works with local governments to fix the issues, a process that usually involves local officials sending a crew out to clean everything up. Right now, tracking dilapidated buildings is very manual, so Baum-Blake considers his competition to be the “status quo.” “They’re able to do 50 per week,” he said of humans tasked with keeping track of decaying buildings, “whereas we’re able to do thousands per week.” The product, which Baum-Blake has patented, has some fun and essential features. The latter is that faces and license plates are always blurred for privacy reasons; the former is that City Detect’s technology can distinguish between street art and vandalism. It also helps governments track whether landlords are not properly maintaining their buildings. Techcrunch event Disrupt 2026: The tech ecosystem, all in one room Your next round. Your next hire.

Adriaan de Jongh and Sylvain Tegroeg did not necessarily set out to create a new genre. But, in some ways, that’s exactly what the duo did when they released Hidden Folks in 2017. Hidden object games have been around for decades — they’ve existed well before computers, when people searched for objects in paintings and printed drawings — but Hidden Folks was a distinct step forward. De Jongh calls Hidden Folks a “searching” game; objects are certainly hidden, but the game is more than just spotting objects. “We wanted to make a very playful, interactive game where our focus was invoking this curiosity for these little worlds and the little stories that unfolded,” de Jongh, who intends to expand the Hidden Folks universe in a new collaboration with Tegroeg, told The Verge. “That was always the vision for the game, and all design decisions we made tried to cater to that sense of exploration.” In the years that followed the game’s release, dozens of Hidden Folks-likes were created. Some of them are clones that copy the art style and even assets in a way that makes de Jongh uncomfortable. Many of those games may scratch the itch of wanting to find things, but they lack the delight of a game like Hidden Folks. The searching genre has also emerged as a way for developers to inject story and, again, curiosity into hidden object games. It’s easy to draw a line from Hidden Folks to the likes of “interactive city discovery game” Small Life, mystery game Wind Peaks, history discovery game Hidden Through Time, and, now, the adventure hidden object game Lost and Found Co. The concept of Hidden Folks is simple: Search through pen-and-ink artist Tegroeg’s expressive, detailed worlds for a list of items displayed on the bottom of the screen. You are not to click and move along, but search — click on things to see what happens, what developer-made “mouth sound” you hear. Maybe you’ll uncover what you were looking for. Maybe you won’t.

Colombia is at risk of being seduced by populists espousing radical and extreme policies, according to presidential candidate Roy Barreras. Barreras, an ally of President Gustavo Petro competing in the center-left coalition primaries on Sunday, called for a progressive government that is also friendly to investors. “If I win the primary, the markets will know there is a possibility of trust and a stable government,” Barreras said in an interview in Bloomberg’s Bogota office. “If I lose, we are condemned to right-wing populism and left-wing populism, because there are only populists.” Colombians will vote March 8 to select some of the candidates who will compete in first round of the presidential election. They are vying for backing from a group of parties to compete against leftist senator Iván Cepeda , who is leading in polls, and conservative lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella , who is in second place. Cepeda has called for the redistribution of wealth and giving land to poor farmers, while de la Espriella argues for hardline security policies and the “neutralization” of criminals who refuse to surrender. Neither responded to interview requests. Barreras, 62, a physician who has served as head of Congress and as Colombia’s ambassador to the UK, said he expects to secure 3 million votes in the primary, where he is competing against former Medellín mayor Daniel Quintero . That would give him momentum and the legitimacy to unite the left and the center in a broad coalition, he said. However, one recent poll showed Quintero ahead. Cepeda won’t take part in the primary, but will stand in the main election. “Barreras is one of several contenders who could surge should either Cepeda or de la Espriella stumble,” said James Bosworth, author of the Latin America Risk report newsletter. “No matter what happens in the presidential race, Barreras will be influential in the next administration. He exemplifies the Colombian politician who cuts deals across the ideological spectrum ...
