Charlston/Kynoch (BIS) Schumann’s Dichterliebe is at the heart of this disc from the mezzo-soprano and pianist Sholto Kynoch; Heloise Werner’s new work Knight’s Dream is a rich and intriguing companion piece Helen Charlston is a strikingly original talent on stage, so it should come as no surprise that her latest recital on disc pushes into unexpected territory. At its heart is Dichterliebe, Robert Schumann’s classic cycle on poems by Heinrich Heine, and still relatively unusual terrain for the female voice. She complements these with other Heine settings by early-19th-century German contemporaries, including both Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn, and presents the first recording of Knight’s Dream, commissioned as a companion piece for the Schumann from composer Héloïse Werner. The latter tells of a gallant lover blundering about in an enchanted fever dream. Charlston relishes Werner’s haunting, folk-inflected vocal lines, her wine-dark mezzo-soprano savouring every drop. Pianist Sholto Kynoch, who embellishes the narrative by speaking, humming and even knocking on the piano, is an absolute rock. A similar resourcefulness breathes life into Loewe’s Die Lotosblume and Fanny Mendelssohn’s Schwanenlied, Charlston’s voice flowing like molten lava, every word crystal clear. Continue reading...

Comedian Munya Chawawa’s documentary is a compelling dive into the world of wrestling and its many links with the 45th and 47th US president A small handful of psychological concepts transformed our understanding of the world, and each other. Firstly, Sigmund Freud’s discovery of the unconscious. Alongside that, Carl Jung’s hypothesis of the collective unconscious. Comedian Munya Chawawa’s fantastic documentary Wrestling With Trump (Channel 4, Tuesday, 10pm) offers a startling new idea: that the American president’s bullish political style has been cribbed entirely from WWE SmackDown. Let’s call it the theory of knocking everyone unconscious. We meet the aide who advised Trump on how a crowd-rousing pantomime of good v evil could be politicised. We cringe at WrestleMania 23 footage, in which Trump appears, pushing promoter Vince McMahon and punching him in the head, the so-called Battle of the Billionaires. We’re reminded how many wrestlers, including the Undertaker and Kane, now stump for Trump; that Hulk Hogan ripped his shirt open at the Republican National Convention in 2024, shouting “Let Trump-a-mania rule again!” It’s all very funny, though of course it isn’t. Former wrestling executive Linda McMahon is currently the US secretary of education. Is that a punchline? Continue reading...

FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS

RESULTATER I 1. KVARTAL 2026

SATO's growth continued during the first quarter of the year.

SATOn kasvu jatkui ensimmäisellä vuosineljänneksellä.

AS-i Tallinna Vesi müügitulu oli 2026. aasta esimeses kvartalis 17,99 miljonit eurot, suurenedes võrreldes möödunud aasta sama perioodiga 12,4% võrra. Tulude kasvu mõjutas enim ehitusteenuste müügitulu ja investeeringute kasvuga kaasnenud hinnamuutus.

High activity and strong financial performance

AS Tallinna Vesi's sales in the first quarter of 2026 were €17.99 million, which is an increase of 12.4% compared to the same period last year. Growth in sales was mostly driven by sales of construction services and changes in the price for water service related to increased investment.

BlackRock Inc.’s chief of emerging markets debt is counting on another strong year for bond returns as the weaker dollar improves financing conditions. Michel Aubenas said he sees “mid-to-high single-digit” returns for US- or euro-denominated debt and “high single-digits to low double-digits” for local-currency debt from emerging-market borrowers. Yields are still attractive and European investors overall remain underallocated to the asset class, he said. Last month, BlackRock launched a new active ETF, called the iShares $ EM Bond Active Ucits ETF (ISOV), to mainly invest in dollar-denominated sovereign bonds from emerging markets. “There is plenty of pent-up demand,” Aubenas said in an interview. “With the Fed on hold, they are no longer a potential source of higher rates, which is supportive for the asset class.” The ISOV ETF lists government bonds from Mexico and Hungary, as well as junk-rated Argentina and Turkey among its top holdings, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. So far this year, returns have been modest after investors shied away from risk during the market turmoil stemming from the war in Iran. Hard-currency debt from emerging markets has returned only 1.3% this year after 11% last year, according to Bloomberg indexes. Local currency bonds are up 1.2% after 9% in 2025. “Yields are at historically attractive levels, but returns are unlikely to come from a single theme or trade,” Aubenas said.

When Tony Cowell retired in 2023 from a three-decade career advising private equity and hedge funds from the Cayman Islands at KPMG LLP , AI was still relatively nascent. Three years on, with agentic artificial intelligence talk dominating boardrooms and dinner tables, he’s back. Cowell is betting on a new financial and strategy advisory firm catering to the next generation of wealthy families, underpinned by AI tech. His model will give clients deeper access to senior leaders, bypassing what he says are the traditional layers of junior staffers at larger consulting firms. “If the technology hadn’t moved on I may not have done it,” Cowell, the former regional asset-management head at KPMG, said by phone. “We could build things from the start that we think the world needs today” which is “much harder to retrofit.” His firm, Cynren, is one of several boutiques seeking to make its mark in a crowded — and in some cases troubled — consulting market, where larger rivals are rushing to equip staff with new tools and help clients harness new technologies as AI disrupts traditional working patterns. Layoffs are already taking place at some firms thanks to AI adoption and the industry’s pyramid staffing model coming under pressure. Read more: Consulting Was a Dream First Job Until AI Threatened Those Roles As they seek to keep up, incumbents like EY, Deloitte LLP, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP have invested heavily in AI tools for their staff and struck deals with tech firms to get priority access to new models. At Cynren, Cowell is working to build his leadership team and offering. He tapped Stephen Toebes, former chief engineer at Marc Lore ’s Wonder Group Inc., to advise on developing its own AI technology and help lead an internal AI lab to develop tools for clients. That includes monitoring world events in real-time, test scenarios, model outcomes and guide decision-making — all with human oversight.

The EU Is Pushing "Driver-Monitoring Cameras" - Here's Why... Authored by Kit Knightly via Off-Guardian.org, From July of this year, every vehicle registered in the European Union will be required to have driver-monitoring cameras in place. That’s not every new car manufactured , but every car registered . The “Advanced Driver Distraction Warning” (ADDW) cameras are designed to monitor driver behaviour for signs of potential distraction , and then set off a warning if those signs are detected. It was first announced in 2024 as part of the EU’s “Vision Zero” plan to eliminate car-related deaths by 2050. But it’s not really about that. It’s never about what they say it’s about. Here’s where this goes… Firstly, kiss successful insurance claims goodbye. Any accident will be blamed on “sub-optimal driver performance”, and that time you checked your phone while stopped at a light, or your hands moved briefly from the 10-and-2 or your eyeline wasn’t correctly picked up by the mirror sensor, will be used to blame your fender-bender on you. This will create a change in accident reporting statistics, spiking “driver error” as the cause for anything and everything that goes wrong on the road. This, in turn, will kick off a big “people drive dangerously” propaganda push. Headlines like “ADDW data harvesting has shown up 80% of us might be driving more recklessly than we think” , or “most veteran drivers slip in to bad habits, reports show” will appear. Then comes the new legislation to act on this totally fabricated problem. What is it? It’s re-certification. That’s not speculation; it already happened. Under new EU rules, passed just a few months ago , every driver has to be re-certified and issued a new driver’s license after 15 years. It would be the smallest of tweaks to add “or after Y number of distraction warnings are recorded” to that legislation. The new driver’s licenses will be digital , with biometrics included. It’s possible new cars will be undrivable without a sc...

Broadcom (AVGO) Faces Uncertainty in $18 Billion AI Chip Partner GuruFocus

MF3d/iStock via Getty Images Despite an S&P 500 that is hovering close to all-time highs, the prevailing sentiment in the stock market still appears to be fear. That unease is playing out abundantly in the Q1 earnings season, which has seen sharp double-digit percentage declines in any companies that reported anything less than a perfect quarter. In no other sector is fear as intense as in software, and even previous AI darlings like SoundHound AI ( SOUN ) aren’t immune. The voice AI company just reported Q1 results and slid 10%+ post-earnings, despite a strong print. Data by YCharts I last wrote an article upgrading SoundHound to a "Neutral" rating in March, when the stock was trading around $7 per share. In my view, the post-earnings dip is a good chance to enter into this stock at a more reasonable price. We especially like the fact that the company has multiple potential catalysts in the form of new products to drive a revamp in sentiment going forward. With all this in mind, I’m upping my rating on SoundHound to a "Buy." Solid Q1 results coupled with new products for the second half First, we should note that the post-earnings drop-off is likely a statement of weaker sentiment against the software sector in general, rather than due to any specific red flags that the company pointed out. Take a look at the Q1 earnings summary below: SoundHound Q1 results (SoundHound Q1 earnings release) SoundHound’s revenue grew 52% y/y to $44.2 million, beating Wall Street’s expectations of $42.6 million (+46% y/y) by a meaningful six-point margin. Revenue trends largely kept pace with 58% y/y growth in Q4, and we remind investors that this growth rate is now also purely organic, with the company having fully lapped the acquisition of Amelia Voice AI (which it bought in August 2024 for $80 million) since last quarter. There were only two potential gripes for the quarter. The first was in gross margins. SoundHound’s pro forma gross margin declined 110 bps y/y to 49.7%. Now, we n...

前言 ：这篇文章是我开始接触AI后，近两年的思考与心得，借助AI工具进行深度创作，最终形成了一篇文章，总字数15000字。 这是一篇严肃的、有深度、有价值的文章，希望能够对您的工作提供一定的启发和参考。 阅读全文预计需要20分钟，欢迎您读后在评论区留言点评。 —————————————————— 让我们从一个所有人都熟悉的场景开始。 你走进一家便利店，打算买一瓶矿泉水。货架上有十几个品牌，价格从两元到十几元不等。如果只考虑解渴这个最基本的功能，它们之间几乎没有任何差别——所有的水都能解渴，安全标准也都达标。但是这些水的售价相差数倍。有人拿了两元一瓶的，有人在货架前犹豫片刻后选了五元的，还有人专门买了十多元一瓶的进口品牌玻璃瓶装水。 这引出一个值得深究的问题： 当产品的使用功能高度趋同时，究竟是什么决定了它们的价格差异？ 这个问题不仅适用于矿泉水，也包含汽车、手机、家具、服装、餐饮、家电等几乎所有面向消费者的行业，都不同程度地面临同样的境况。经过多年实践观察和思考，我形成了一个核心判断，也是这篇文章的出发点： 任何产品的价值，经过充分抽象之后，最终都可以归结为两个基本维度——使用价值和情绪价值。 两者的关系，使用价值决定了产品售价的底部支撑，情绪价值决定了产品售价的溢价空间。使用价值决定了用户“买不买”的问题，情绪价值决定了用户“买哪家、花多少钱买”的问题。二者共同影响了用户购买的决策过程。 研究产品使用价值与情绪价值之间的关系，既是一种分析框架，也是一种战略工具。最近一年时间AI大模型已经取得巨大的进步，成为所有企业都可以触达的新型生产力工具，这篇文章将触及一个新的前沿议题： 如何用AI为产品赋能情绪价值？ 由于AI大模型是从2025年开始爆发式增长，所以这个议题比较新，前瞻性更强，而业内尚缺少大量成熟实践案例可供参考。 需要说明的是，本文更适用于消费类产品和服务（如快消品、汽车、电子产品、家居、服装、餐饮等）。对于药品、工业中间品、大宗原材料、重大工程建设等领域，情绪价值的作用会显著减弱，暂时不在本文的重点讨论范围内。 一、产品价值的二元结构 1.1 使用价值及其本质特征 使用价值，指的是产品自身的功能、性能、质量等要素，在具体应用场景中解决实际问题、达成确定目标的实体价值。 一台空调的使用价值，是它能否快速制冷或制热，温度控制是否精准，运行噪音是否可接受。一部手...

百濟神州一季報，聊聊我的觀感 富途牛牛

财联社5月8日讯（记者 刘梦然） 短短一周时间，永杉锂业（603399.SH）对于股价异动的自查情况说明，从“不存在应披露而未披露的重大信息”，变为“正在筹划与四川南充经济开发区管理委员会签署锂盐项目投资协议”。 昨日晚间，永杉锂业发布近期第三份股价异常波动公告，首次披露公司正筹划与四川南充经济开发区管理委员会签署《锂盐项目投资协议》，于四川省南充市经开化工园区投资建设锂盐项目，并计划与关联方共同成立合资公司推进项目实施。 有投资者对此提出质疑，公司前两份公告未提及任何项目筹划、与关联方共同投资相关内容，是否存在信息遗漏？ 今日，永杉锂业证券部人士对财联社记者表示，该协议目前还处于筹划阶段，尚未正式签署协议。前期，公司的项目基地选址与多地在谈，在前期公告中，并没有明确可列入筹划阶段的合作方或事项，因此在前两份异动公告中不需要特意说明。一旦签了协议，或者做了相应筹划，会第一时间进行披露。 为推进项目实施，永杉锂业计划与四川永盈新材料有限公司（简称“永盈新材料”）共同出资设立合资公司。项目公司注册资本金6亿元，永杉锂业以现金出资5.94亿元（持股99%），永盈新材料以现金出资0.06亿元人民币（持股1%）。该事项有待公司董事会审议。永杉锂业与永盈新材料同属公司实际控制人吴华新所控制的企业，构成关联方。 财联社记者注意到，公司股价于4月28日、29日和30日连续涨停，公司先后发布两份股票交易异常波动公告。两份公告中，公司均明确表示，“经自查及向控股股东、实控人核实，不存在应披露而未披露的重大信息，未涉及任何重大投资、重组等事项。” 5月6日节后首个交易日，公司股价再度涨停收盘。5月7日晚间，公司发布近期第三次股票异常波动公告，披露筹划6亿元四川锂盐项目投资事项。 根据规定，股票异常波动时，上市公司须全面核查是否存在应披露未披露重大信息，并在次一交易日开市前发布公告。永杉锂业在4月29日、4月30日盘后公告中，均未披露上述筹划阶段中的锂盐项目。 对于公司与南充经开区方面合作谈判时间点等关键信息，上述工作人员并未透露，仅表示公司在内幕信息管理方面合法合规。 近期，碳酸锂期现货价格快速攀升，引起产业链与资本市场高度关注。据上海钢联数据，截至2026年5月8日早盘，电池级碳酸锂现货均价突破19万元/吨，逼近20万元/吨关口。在供给收缩与需求回暖共同驱动下，锂矿概念公司股价亦同步走...

格隆汇5月8日｜路透调查显示，继3月份增加17.8万后，4月份非农就业人数可能仅增加6.2万人，机构预测范围从减少1.5万人到增加15万人不等。美国劳动力市场一直陷于经济学家和美联储所说的“慢招聘、慢解雇”的状态。这种僵局被归咎于特朗普的贸易和移民政策，以及近期的伊朗战争。而经济学家表示，现在要看出美伊冲突对劳动力市场的影响还为时过早。RSM首席经济学家乔·布鲁苏埃拉斯表示，劳动力市场现状维持不变。劳动力需求通常是在实际招聘前几个月就确定的，因此战争对劳动力需求的影响还来不及显现。美联储将关注薪资数据，以及最重要的失业率，这些数据将确认新的共识，即今年不会因为劳动力市场疲软而降息。
