Nolwenn Leroy n’a rien à envier aux autres stars puisqu’elle a de beaux yeux bleus et une chevelure noire. Pour entretenir son visage radieux cependant, elle adopte une routine beauté très simple à base de sérum et de crème hydratante. Quand elle a le temps, elle applique aussi un masque et fait un gommage.

This is Christina Aguilera like we’ve never seen before. Christina Aguilera has recently joined the “no-makeup” trend and we think that she looks even better without makeup. By looking at her without any makeup on, the real Christina Aguilera suddenly has freckles and is looking like a softer and younger woman. Responding to her no makeup photos, Aguilera says she loved the experience and felt liberated to strip it all back and appreciate the raw beauty in people.

For years, the challenge has been measurement. Ecological data often sits separate from corporate reporting, while company location data is rarely detailed enough to match environmental conditions. As a result, nature’s role in productivity has stayed partly invisible, even though economies rely heavily on healthy ecosystems.

Economist Herman Daly captured this relationship clearly, noting that the economy is “a wholly owned subsidiary of the environment, not the reverse.”

Measuring Nature’s Economic Signal

A large-scale research effort focused on translating ecological conditions into measurable business outcomes. The analysis centered on New Zealand, a setting where environmental records and business performance data can be linked across regions with unusual precision.

The study combined multiple datasets, including sales, employment figures, river quality, drought exposure, land use patterns, and the spread of invasive species. These indicators formed a broader measure of biodiversity and natural capital.

To interpret the relationship, the Cobb-Douglas economic model was used. This framework is commonly applied to understand how labor and investment contribute to output, but here it helped position nature as an additional productive input.

Findings pointed to a consistent pattern. Businesses located in areas with stronger ecosystem health showed higher performance levels. Across more than 117,000 observations between 2009 and 2022, a 1% rise in natural capital aligned with:

– About 0.13% higher sales
– Around 0.15% higher profits

These results held steady across different ecological indicators, reinforcing the link between environmental quality and economic output.

At the same time, a structural trade-off appeared. Regions with dense infrastructure and higher commercial activity often showed reduced biodiversity scores, even as sales increased. This pattern suggests economic growth can continue alongside environmental decline, though it may reduce some productivity benefits tied to healthy ecosystems.

Policy Actions and Shifting Outcomes

Environmental policy changes in New Zealand provided a way to observe how ecological improvements influence business performance over time. Two major efforts stood out.

One was the Predator Free 2050 program, aimed at controlling invasive species and restoring native ecosystems. The second involved a set of reforms introduced from 2017 onward, including:

1. Freshwater protection rules
2. Tree-planting incentives
3. Limits on offshore oil and gas exploration
4. Restrictions on single-use plastics
5. The Zero Carbon Act

These measures focused on ecosystem health rather than direct business subsidies, making them useful for assessing indirect economic effects.

Following these interventions, the connection between natural capital and business performance strengthened. A 1% improvement in ecosystem health corresponded with an additional 0.05% boost in business performance. The strongest impact appeared in the year immediately after policy implementation.

This pattern signals that ecological restoration can influence productivity beyond environmental gains alone, shaping how firms perform in real terms.

Sector-Level Differences in Performance

Freepik | agriculture | Nature’s influence was most pronounced in resource-dependent sectors like agriculture and forestry.

The strength of nature’s influence varied across industries. Agriculture and forestry showed the most pronounced effects, given their direct dependence on soil quality, water availability, and pest control.

In less densely developed regions, where natural systems remain more intact, the productivity link became even stronger. In these primary sectors:

A 1% increase in natural capital corresponded to an additional 0.71% to 0.81% rise in sales above the national average

Healthier ecosystems reduced operational pressures by supporting cleaner water, richer soils, and lower pest activity. These conditions lowered input costs and improved yield stability.

Service industries, retail, and construction also showed measurable links, though the effects were more evenly distributed across different environmental factors rather than concentrated in specific natural conditions.

Globally, ecosystem services are estimated to contribute trillions of dollars annually to economic activity. Yet firm-level measurement has remained limited, leaving a gap between ecological theory and financial reporting practices.

Nature as a Productive Asset

Findings from New Zealand add clarity to a broader shift in economic thinking. Ecosystems are not just external conditions surrounding business activity. They function as active inputs that influence productivity outcomes across sectors.

While frameworks like the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures are beginning to formalize environmental reporting, detailed evidence connecting biodiversity to firm performance remains rare. This research helps bridge that gap by showing consistent, measurable links between ecosystem quality and business output.

The results also point to a practical reality. Investments in ecological restoration do not sit apart from economic performance. Instead, they can shape efficiency, output levels, and long-term stability, especially in industries closely tied to land and water systems.

Evidence from New Zealand points to a consistent pattern where healthier ecosystems align with stronger business performance across industries. From agriculture and forestry to services and retail, biodiversity shows a clear link with higher sales and profits.

Environmental quality acts as a quiet driver of productivity, not a separate factor. As ecological conditions change, business outcomes shift with them, placing natural systems directly within economic planning and performance.

Ihr Schauspieltalent entdeckte Ingrid Van Bergen schon im sehr jungen Alter. Sie spielte damals für deutsche Soldaten auf der Bühne, die zum Heimaturlaub nach Hause gekommen waren. Ihre rauchige Stimme ist unverkennbar und hat ihr mit Sicherheit auch zu ihrem rasenden Erfolg als Sängerin und Schauspielerin verholfen.

Sie arbeitete schon mit Größten wie Robert Mitchum, O.W. Fischer, Kirk Douglas und Heinz Rühmann zusammen. Zu ihren größten Hits als Schauspielerin zählen Bildnis einer Unbekannten, Rosen für den Staatsanwalt und Der eiserne Gustav. Auch wenn Van Bergen als Schauspielerin nur noch selten zu sehen ist, ist sie trotzdem noch aktiv. Ihre heutigen Leidenschaften sind der Tierschutz und das Schreiben von Kurzgeschichten.

Wenn ihr euch die großen deutschen Moderatoren vorstellt, dann gehört Günther Jauch ohne Zweifel dazu. Mit Formaten wie „Wer wird Millionär?“ hat er Fernsehgeschichte geschrieben und ist ein absoluter Liebling der Zuschauer. Trotz seines Erfolgs und eines beträchtlichen Vermögens hat Jauch ein Herz für Klassiker.

Anstatt einen neuen Luxuswagen zu fahren, hat er sich für einen alten Renault R4 entschieden, einen charmanten Oldtimer, den man heutzutage kaum noch auf den Straßen sieht. Der Wert dieses Wagens ist schwer zu bestimmen, denn der R4 wird schon seit über 20 Jahren nicht mehr gebaut. Ein wahrlich seltener Schatz.

Waitt, the co-founder of Gateway computers, told lawmakers that he gave Maxwell $7.2 million in September 2010 after ending their six-year relationship. According to the transcript of his testimony, the payment was meant to help her maintain the lifestyle she had become used to during their years together.

Speaking before the committee, Waitt described the payment as “the right thing to do,” adding that the pair had lived “a fairly extravagant life.” He also explained that such settlements were “not uncommon” for people in similar financial situations.

Despite the massive payout, Waitt claimed Maxwell was dissatisfied with the amount. “She was quite devastated by the breakup,” he testified. “Not being happy with the amount, wanting more.”

He added that the emotional nature of the split pushed him to distance himself from the negotiations. Instead of handling the matter personally, he asked members of his team to complete the remaining details of the settlement.

House Investigation Expands

Waitt and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick both participated in closed-door interviews with the House Oversight Committee as lawmakers continue examining unanswered questions tied to Epstein and Maxwell.

The committee has also sought interviews with several other high-profile figures. Those include Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, investor Leon Black, and Doug Band, the longtime adviser to former President Bill Clinton.

A letter sent to Waitt on March 3 stated that investigators believed he possessed information that could assist the committee’s inquiry. His name reportedly appeared in emails linked to the so-called Epstein files. No accusations of criminal wrongdoing have been filed against Waitt or the other individuals connected to the investigation.

During his testimony, Waitt referred to the financial agreement as a “palimony settlement-type thing.” He explained that Maxwell had expected the relationship to last for life, which influenced his decision to provide financial support after the breakup.

Regret Over the Relationship

The testimony also revealed Waitt’s growing discomfort after learning more about Maxwell’s connection to Epstein. He admitted that much of what he now knows was hidden from him during their relationship.

“I can say unequivocally that if I knew then what I know now about Ms. Maxwell, I never would’ve befriended her or allowed her to be around my four children,” Waitt stated.

He also claimed Maxwell minimized the seriousness of Epstein’s criminal conduct following his 2008 guilty plea involving the solicitation of a minor for prostitution. According to Waitt, it is “possible” she concealed details about her continued travels with Epstein while they were dating.

“Through the course of preparing for this testimony, I’ve discovered a lot of things I did not know about her relationship with Mr. Epstein in the time we were dating,” he told committee staffers.

Epstein and Maxwell Cases Still Under Scrutiny

Instagram | abc7la | Following Epstein’s 2019 jail death before his sex trafficking trial, Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in 2021.

Jeffrey Epstein died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges involving minors. His case continued to draw widespread attention due to his connections with several influential figures.

Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for her role in recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

In 2025, Maxwell reportedly met with then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for two days before being transferred to a minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas.

The controversy surrounding Maxwell remains politically charged. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer told Politico that some Republicans support the possibility of President Donald Trump offering Maxwell a pardon in exchange for cooperation with the committee’s investigation.

Democrats strongly opposed the idea. California Representative Robert Garcia responded by saying, “She is a known abuser. She is a known liar.”

Ted Waitt’s testimony has now added fresh attention to Maxwell’s past relationships and connections as the House Oversight Committee continues examining individuals linked to Epstein’s circle.
