A therapist who claimed he could heal birth trauma through sexual touching and oral sex has been sentenced to 11 years in prison. Gerald Peck, who has live profiles promoting his work as a bodywork psychotherapist, was convicted of five sexual offences on 2 February, after being charged in October 2024. Handing down the sentence at Lewes cown court on Thursday, Judge Mooney said: “The young woman who came to see you believed you could help her at a particularly difficult time in her life. She had every reason to believe she could trust you. “All the information you provided to her led her to believe you were a qualified bioenergetics practitioner. That was a lie. “You were banned from practising by the Bioenergetics Institute because in the late 1980s you used your position to sexually abuse women under the guise of therapy. Since that date you’ve been nothing more than a charlatan and a fraud.” Peck was also ordered to pay £9,730 in damages to cover the victim’s costs, including the therapy she has sought to help her recover. Unregulated therapists abusing clients and continuing to practise is a growing problem, and there are mounting calls for formal oversight of the profession. In a statement read at the sentencing, the victim said: “[Peck] caused profound and lasting damage to my mental and physical health, and to every part of my life. More than five years later, I still experience terrifying flashbacks that feel as though I am back in that room with him. “I have lived these past five years with constant worry that other women are likely still being harmed by him.” In a statement given to the police in 2021, the victim described how a friend had recommended Peck when she was seeking help for depression and anxiety. Peck encouraged her to come multiple times per week, with some sessions lasting several hours, she said. The so-called therapy included removing clothing, as skin-to-skin contact “helps soothe nervous systems”, and telling her that her inner baby “ne...

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Taya today announced it has raised a $5 million seed round led by MaC Venture Capital and Female Founders Fund, with participation from a16z speedrun. Founded by Stanford-trained product designer and mechanical engineer Elena Wagenmans, previously at Apple, Taya is an AI necklace built to honor the social contract: intentional, single-player voice capture, not ambient recording of the room. Taya Logo While many recent AI hardware products have leaned toward always-on environmental awareness, Taya is taking a different approach. Instead of continuous environmental recording, the device focuses on short, intentional captures, helping people preserve fleeting thoughts without turning everyday life into a stream of surveillance. Taya's system is designed around directional microphones and voice-prioritization signal processing to focus on the wearer rather than the surrounding environment. "People want intelligence, but they don't want to wear something that makes everyone around them uncomfortable," said Elena Wagenmans, Founder & CEO of Taya. "We're building jewelry-first AI for private reflection - something you choose to wear, and choose when to activate." Following 3 million organic views across platforms and a sold-out initial pre-order batch, Taya has spent the past several months in direct conversation with early customers to refine both hardware and software around daily usability, privacy, and long-term retention. Rather than positioning itself as a meeting notetaker or always-on recorder, Taya is focused on brief, frequent voice captures throughout the day: moments of insight, reminders, and creative thoughts that would otherwise disappear. "Privacy isn't a feature, it's an architectural decision," Wagenmans added. "If this becomes part of your daily life, it has to align with how people actually want to live." Taya is currently in active development and expects to begin fulfilling its initial pre-order batch late...

NicoElNino/iStock via Getty Images Sea Limited ( SE ) is growing very strongly across its multiple businesses. However, management decided to invest for growth in ecommerce rather than optimizing margins in 2026, which generated a negative market reaction in a risk-averse environment for growth stocks. As of this writing, Sea Limited is down by 56% from its high of the year and trading at historically attractive valuations. Looking under the hood, the business fundamentals and the long-term value drivers remain intact, and Sea Limited looks like an attractive buying opportunity for investors willing to own the company for the long term. Strong Fundamentals And Investing For Growth Sea Limited is a fairly complex organization, as it operates in three different businesses—ecommerce, fintech, and gaming—across the main markets in Southeast Asia. If we start by looking at the company as a whole, the numbers are more than healthy. Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 reached $6.9 billion, up 38% year over year. The number exceeded expectations by 6%. Profit margins also expanded strongly during the quarter, operating profit grew 85% year over year, and net income jumped 73% versus the same quarter in the prior year. Sea Limited Zooming into the different growth engines, the e-commerce segment, Shopee, is growing at full speed. Gross orders increased 30.5% to 4 billion, and GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) expanded by 28.6% to $36.7 billion during the period. Revenue at Shopee increased 35.8% year over year, to $5 billion. Revenue is growing much faster than GMV, driven by increasing monetization in advertising. Ad paying sellers increased 20% year over year, with the average spend jumping by 45%. Total advertising revenue increased 70% versus the same quarter in the prior year, with ad take rates expanding by 80 basis points. Advertising is a high-margin business, and it creates a virtuous cycle for Sea Limited. If more sellers invest in advertising and attract more ...

Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU) shares edged lower Thursday as investors weighed geopolitical risks, AI supply-chain competition and shifting sentiment across semiconductor stocks. Middle East Tensions Raise Risks For Chip Supply Rising tensions in the Middle East are creating risks for the semiconductor industry by threatening supplies of key materials and raising energy costs that could reduce demand for AI-related chips. Analysts say the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran could disrupt access to materials such as helium and bromine, which are used in semiconductor manufacturing. Helium is particularly critical because manufacturers rely on it to manage heat and support chip production processes, and there is no viable substitute. Supply risks could also grow if shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted. At the same time, higher energy prices tied to the conflict could increase the operating costs of AI data centers, which consume large amounts of electricity. Analysts warn that rising costs may slow AI infrastructure expansion and reduce demand for chips used in these systems. Micron Expands AI Memory Strategy Micron is deepening its push into AI infrastructure with new high-performance memory products, including what it has described as new ‘Monster’ Memory chips aimed at easing AI’s power and performance bottlenecks. According to an Idaho-to-California partnership, the company has tied its next wave of advanced memory development to a roughly $5 billion buildout intended to address AI’s energy constraints and position its portfolio for a multi-year ramp into the 2027 chip cycle. Micron’s long-term investment strategy centers on expanding memory technology used in AI servers, where demand for advanced memory continues to grow. AI Memory Competition And Market Rotation Competition for next-generation AI memory remains a key theme across the semiconductor industry. Micron’s outlook is closely tied to demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which is ...

When she finally arrived in a safe place after suffering a quarter of a century of mental and physical torment, she was frail and timid. She could not bear to be hugged, and craved hot showers, getting up at 3am to try to get clean. The foster carer who took in the woman who had been held and forced to work in “Dickensian conditions” in a house in an English market town said the victim remained terrified of her abuser, Amanda Wixon, whom she called “the witch”. Wixon was jailed for 13 years on Tuesday. The carer, who is remaining anonymous to protect the identity of the victim, said that when she was finally freed by police, the woman was very shy, anxious and unwell. “She was very skinny. I had to take her to the doctors and get lots of appointments and try and feed her and show her love,” she said. “She wasn’t used to things like that. It was really hard even giving her hugs. She didn’t want me to hug her. So I used to say to her: ‘You know, when you’re ready, I’ll be here for you’. And within the week, she turned around and started being loving.” View image in fullscreen Amanda Wixon, pictured, ‘would bash her, lock her in the room, black bags over the windows so she couldn’t get any light’, says the foster carer. Photograph: Ben Birchall/PA Gradually the victim talked about what had happened in the years since she was first held, at the age of 16, at Wixon’s house in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. “Basically, she wouldn’t get any food. She would get scraps. She was doing a lot of housework. And when she asked for things, she would be refused. She just wasn’t being looked after at all. It was just horrible. “[Wixon] would bash her, lock her in the room, black bags over the windows so she couldn’t get any light. Her abuser squeezed washing-up liquid down her throat and poured bleach [on her face]. She’s got scars on her mouth. She did all the housework, cleaning, ironing, everything. She was a proper slave.” The carer said she wasn’t allowed to wash. “But she’s a ve...
A woman imprisoned and forced to work for a mother of 10 for more than a quarter of a century in “Dickensian” conditions has said nothing can give her back her lost years as her abuser was sentenced to 13 years.

A woman imprisoned and forced to work for a mother of 10 for more than a quarter of a century in “Dickensian” conditions has said nothing can give her back her lost years as her abuser was sentenced to 13 years. The woman, who was held by Amanda Wixon in Tewkesbury, said: “For 25 years I lived in fear, control and abuse. I was treated as though my life, my freedom and my voice did not matter. The trauma and the nightmares are something I still carry with me every day.” In a statement released as Wixon, 56, was sentenced at Gloucester crown court on Thursday morning, the woman said: “I am now living with a wonderful family who show me kindness, patience and support. Their love is helping me slowly rebuild the life that was taken from me and begin to feel safe again. Nothing can give me back the 25 years I lost.” There are growing calls for social services to explain why the victim, now in her 40s, slipped through the net. Her foster carer said: “It’s just a horrible situation which should never have happened. I think social services should be more alert and then maybe no one else will go through what she has been through.” Wixon beat the woman, squirted washing-up liquid down her throat, splashed bleach on her face and shaved her head against her will. Police bodycam footage shows Amanda Wixon being questioned – video The woman lived off scraps, could not leave the house in Gloucestershire, and was forced to wash secretly at night. Her benefit money was paid into Wixon’s account. In newly released voice notes found by police, the victim gave an insight into her plight. In one, she said: “I was in agony last night, I was crying … I had no one to speak to.” In another, she said: “Wish I could go out, take Marley [the family’s dog] for a walk every day of the week, wish I could do that but I can’t.” Footage taken from police bodyworn-cameras reveals that when police found the woman, Wixon told them her victim was “quite reclusive”. Asked when the woman last had a bath, ...

IURII KRASILNIKOV/iStock via Getty Images The Middle East war is escalating. The market seems unimpressed with the announcement that strategic oil reserves will be released. The announcement is light on details, such as pace and composition. Moreover, the markets’ understanding of the disruption is well beyond oil and includes gas, fertilizer, sulfur, and urea. Adding to geoeconomic morass, late yesterday, the US announced it was opening trade investigations (under Section 301 of the Trade Act) to around 16 countries, including China, the EU, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland, Norway, and several others in East Asia. The US dollar ( DXY ) is mostly firmer. Equities are lower and rates are mostly higher. April WTI is above yesterday’s high, as is May Brent. Gold and silver are consolidating but slightly firmer. Prices G10 • The euro trended lower in Europe and North America yesterday. It reached nearly $1.1560, and selling earlier today took it to almost $1.1530. The four-month low set on Monday was slightly above $1.1505. It recovered back to yesterday’s low in Europe but stalled. The technical tone is poor, and although the momentum indicators are stretched, they do not appear poised to turn higher. • The dollar stalled slightly in front of JPY159 in North America yesterday and edged up to almost JPY159.25 today. It held the January 23 high (~JPY159.25) when the Fed reportedly checked prices on behalf of the US Treasury. The dollar slipped to session lows a little ahead of JPY158.65 in Europe, where it appears to be finding bids. • Sterling slipped below $1.34 in the North American session yesterday, but it did not spur fresh selling. It spent most of the NY afternoon consolidating in a narrow range below $1.3415, before being sold to about $1.3360 in Asia-Pacific turnover today. It has returned to the $1.3400 area in Europe but may be running out of steam. Options for almost GBP500 at $1.3375 expire today. Sterling has outperformed the euro since the...

Tippapatt/iStock via Getty Images Introduction In August and December , I wrote about Red Violet ( RDVT ) being a great small-cap company. Financially strong, bolstered by a credible management team and a clear growth outlook. Although I had concerns about the stock's price relative to its valuation in August, I updated my view to a BUY in December based on growth that consistently met or beat expectations. And after the FY 2025 earnings report that was released on March 4th, Red Violet is continuing its impressive progress, reiterating my BUY thesis . Recent Performance Revenue came in at $90.3 million for the year, a 20% growth rate YoY. It's important to point out that this growth was achieved organically without acquisitions or sacrificing margins. But even more impressive, revenue growth was consistent throughout the quarters . Red Violet posted 20% revenue growth in every 2025 quarter, with each quarter setting a revenue record. This is in part due to 77% of revenue being contractual, a number that has remained consistent over the last few quarters, proving that the business model remains sticky. Once a customer integrates a Red Violet product deep into their platform, they are highly incentivized to stick with it. Author's Data Historically, Q4 is a soft period for the business. But for the second year in a row, Red Violet has posted a strong Q4. CEO Derek Dubner attributed this strength to broader momentum in "expanding enterprise adoption as customers embed our (Red Violet's) intelligence more deeply into core operational workflows. " The most impressive YoY, however, is earnings. Q4 GAAP net income was $2.8 million vs $863K a year ago, a 220% increase. Sure, for a small company, triple-digit growth may be expected, but I see this as the thesis unfolding. Customer Metrics I think one of the most underrated aspects of Red Violet's business is the steady growth of its customer base. Author's Data As seen in the chart above, it's easy to see more customers bei...
