Ivanka Trump showcased her impeccable sense of style as she stepped out in a head-turning cut-out gown over the weekend.
The 44-year-old shared a glimpse of her glamorous evening via Instagram Stories, reposting a photo originally shared by designer Andrea Almeida, in which she posed against a lush tropical backdrop.
The elegant black dress featured dramatic side cut-outs that highlighted Ivanka's toned midriff, while intricate multicolored beadwork through the bodice created a striking focal point. The figure-skimming silhouette flowed into a fringed hem, giving the look a bohemian-inspired finish.
Ivanka wore her signature blonde hair in soft, loose waves and kept her accessories understated, allowing the statement gown to take center stage. She completed the look with oversized earrings and black platform heels.

WS Amati Global Innovation Fund, managed by a UK-based equity management firm from AMAti Global Investors, released its second quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter is available to download here. Financial market performance in the second quarter was dominated by geopolitical conflict and enthusiasm for AI. Significant investments across all elements of AI resulted in exceptional growth for related companies, ranging from chip producers to companies constructing data centres. The fund outperformed the MSCI ACWI benchmark due to its diversified exposure beyond headline AI firms, with semiconductor and equipment suppliers being major contributors. At the same time, software and IT services faced investor skepticism due to fears of automation despite long-term potential. The firm is confident in the innovation frontiers to capture long-term growth opportunities in automation, semiconductors, and advanced technologies. In addition, please check the Strategy's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, WS Amati Global Innovation Fund highlighted Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB). Globant S.A.

WS Amati Global Innovation Fund stated the following regarding Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"Although both companies weighed on performance, the largest single detractor was Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB), the US listed IT services and digital engineering business. It too was a casualty of the excessive extrapolation we believe investors are currently making and we have been gently adding on weakness to all three names."
Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB) is not on our list of 40 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds Heading Into 2026. According to our database, 25 hedge fund portfolios held Globant S.A.

As Justin Baldoni's production company is deadlocked with Blake Lively over legal fees, another legal battle is coming to an end.
Wayfarer Studios, which Baldoni cofounded with investor Steve Sarowitz, has been ordered to pay the legal fees that The New York Times incurred in fighting a 2024 defamation lawsuit from the "It Ends with Us" studio.
In a July 27 order from New York Supreme Court Justice Gerald Lebovits, which was reviewed by USA TODAY, The New York Times Co. was determined to be entitled to $171,616.20 in damages. The company was seeking $181,622.70 in fees billed by outside counsel and its in-house legal team, but Lebovits did not agree that some fees were warranted.
The Times had sought attorney fees under New York's anti-Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation law after the claims against the newspaper in Wayfarer's federal lawsuit were dismissed in June 2025.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Christian Gonzalez may have an offer from the New England Patriots that would make him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. But something is keeping him from accepting it for now.
What that is exactly New England's star defender would rather keep private, even after owner Robert Kraft's public proclamations that the deal the team has put on the table is larger than any offered in Patriots history.
"Everybody knows what Mr. Kraft has done ... I respect what Mr. Kraft has brought to the franchise," Gonzalez said Tuesday. "It's something we don't want to handle to the media and keep that with the team and my (agents) and go on about that."
The ******* umption is that Gonzalez and his representatives are likely holding off an accepting an offer from the Patriots until Seattle Seahawks star cornerback Devon Witherspoon inks his anticipated contract extension first.
Witherspoon, a three-time Pro Bowler who was drafted fifth in 2023 ahead of Gonzalez at No. 17, is reportedly getting close to a deal with the defending Super Bowl championships.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
During the recent Orioles press conference about the Kyle Bradish contract extension, principal owner David Rubenstein said of his president of baseball operations Mike Elias that "we couldn't be more pleased" regarding the job that he has done.
Taking that at face value, the question has been answered, Elias will remain the boss of the Orioles front office no matter what happens with the remainder of the season. There are plenty of examples across the sports landscape of why not to take those kinds of proclamations at face value. The "dreaded vote of confidence" is its own recognized part of the manager/GM hot seat. Almost ****** ody ever directly says, "Things need to improve or we're going to fire this guy." They just say nice things when asked and fire the person when they want to fire them.
In this week's survey question, I want to know what you think is going to happen. Is Elias going to be around for next year, or not? Vote in the poll here:
I have thought for a while that if the Orioles do not make the postseason this year, then Elias should be gone at the end of the season. Let someone else figure this thing out, because his answers aren't getting the Orioles where they need to be.

When the New York Jets acquired Geno Smith this offseason, the conversation immediately shifted to the quarterback. Would they get the version who revitalized his career in Seattle Seahawks? Or would they inherit the one who struggled with turnovers during his lone season with the Las Vegas Raiders?
Those are fair questions. They just may not be the most important ones. As training camp opens, the Jets' ceiling on offense could depend less on which version of Smith takes the field and more on how offensive coordinator Frank Reich builds the offensive attack around him.
Quarterbacks often receive the credit when an offense succeeds and the blame when it doesn't. While that's part of playing the position, football has repeatedly shown that coaching, scheme and supporting talent can dramatically influence a quarterback's production.
So, here's where Reich enters the picture. The veteran coach inherits an offense featuring an experienced quarterback, a dynamic running back in Breece Hall, an emerging No. 1 receiver in Garrett Wilson and a pair of intriguing young tight ends in Kenyon Sadiq and Mason Taylor. The offensive line also appears more stable than it has in recent years, giving Reich more flexibility than many first-year coordinators enjoy.
The challenge isn't **** embling talent. It's finding the best way to maximize it.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — The mass confusion was supposed to be gone by now.
The decisions to sell, buy or stand pat should have been finalized with everyone having a clear direction.
And yet, with just six shopping days left before the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline, we have less clarity now than at the All-Star break.
The Miami Marlins produced their greatest June (20-6) in franchise history, lost a franchise-record 12 games in a row, staged a dramatic comeback against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday, and are smack-dab in the NL wild-card race.
The Boston Red Sox, who had the American League's worst record (32-46) a month ago, are cruising now at 55-50, and could be the AL favorites to reach the World Series.

Just a few weeks ago, only a handful of members of the U.S. women's hockey team were expected to attend the ESPYs, the annual awards show honoring the year's biggest athletes, teams and moments in sports.
By Wednesday afternoon, many more of the reigning Olympic gold medalists were swapping jerseys for gowns inside a midtown Manhattan penthouse. Champagne was flowing. Hair and makeup artists buzzed around the room. Defenseman Mariah Keopple, who also works as a stylist, helped teammates put the finishing touches on their looks before they headed to the awards show, airing live Wednesday night from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City.
It wasn't exactly the typical pregame routine for one of the world's best hockey teams. And none of it would have happened without an unlikely benefactor: Flavor Flav.
The Public Enemy legend learned last week from U.S. captain Hilary Knight that only a handful of players had been invited to the ESPYs, where Team USA is nominated for Best Team following its dramatic gold-medal victory at the 2026 Winter Olympics. For Flavor Flav, the solution was simple: "I got you."
That promise quickly snowballed.

Justin Greaves etched his name into Test cricket history with a sensational spell against Pakistan, becoming the first bowler in recorded Test history to deliver five consecutive wicket-maidens during the opening Test in Tarouba, Trinidad.

The West Indies all-rounder produced a devastating burst on Day 3 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, turning the match on its head after Pakistan appeared well placed in their first innings. Greaves finished with career-best figures of 5/27 from 11 overs, with all five wickets coming in five successive maiden overs without conceding a single run. It was also the 31-year-old's maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket.

Pakistan resumed the day trailing West Indies' first-innings total of 311 and looked to be building a strong reply through Shan Masood and Salman Agha. The pair safely negotiated the opening hour before Shamar Joseph broke the stand by bowling Agha.

What followed was one of the most remarkable spells in recent Test history.

Greaves dismissed centurion Shan Masood for 109 when the Pakistan batter chopped the ball back onto his stumps. He then removed Aamer Jamal with a delivery that jagged back sharply before trapping Ali Usman leg-before for a duck in the very next over.

Pakistan's hopes rested on Mohammad Rizwan, but Greaves forced the wicketkeeper-batter into flashing at a wide delivery, resulting in an edge behind. In the first over after lunch, he completed his five-wicket haul when Mohammad Abbas poked outside off stump and was caught behind.

The astonishing burst triggered a dramatic collapse, with Pakistan losing five wickets for just 15 runs before eventually being bowled out for 282, handing West Indies a first-innings lead of 29.

Greaves' feat surpassed the previous record of four consecutive wicket-maidens, achieved by former England fast bowler Stuart Broad against South Africa in Johannesburg in January 2016.

The spell not only marked Greaves' maiden Test five-for but also ensured his name entered the record books with an achievement never before seen in available Test records.

Former Edmonton Oilers forward and NHL enforcer Georges Laraque believes the team's biggest issue remains unchanged despite another offseason overhaul.
Speaking on the Bleed Oil Blue Podcast, Laraque argued that Edmonton's goaltending continues to hold the team back during Connor McDavid's Stanley Cup window.
"The biggest problem we've had for years, which I don't understand, is the goalie," Laraque said. "Every year we go get a goalie. I never agree with it. I know it's not going to work."

The financial landscape of football continues to evolve, with transfer fees, wages, and agent commissions reaching unprecedented levels. Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl recently shared his thoughts on the growing costs of the modern game and the increasingly influential role agents play in shaping the transfer market.
"The sums of money involved today are, of course, sometimes very high, and one could certainly say that the role of agents has perhaps become too large. I've already been part of commissions that tried to give the whole business a certain form, a framework, but in a free market economy, that's not so easy to implement. It's a very complex topic, we all know that," Eberl told Sport1's Stefan ****** berger (as captured by iMiaSanMia). "You have to weigh things up carefully and then say "no" when the demands are disproportionate. Of course, there are also many good agents you can work with, but also some who are somewhat more radical and ruthless. But as I said: as a club, you can always decide for yourself whether you want to do things or not."
Eberl's comments reflect one of the biggest challenges facing elite clubs today. Building a top squad is no longer just about identifying talented players. Clubs must also navigate complicated negotiations involving salaries, signing bonuses, agent commissions, and a growing list of financial considerations that can dramatically alter the cost of a transfer.
What stands out most is Eberl's emphasis on discipline. Rather than criticizing agents as a whole, he acknowledged that many are valuable partners while recognizing that others push negotiations to extremes. His point is that clubs ultimately retain the power to walk away if a deal no longer makes financial or sporting sense.
That philosophy has become increasingly important as the market continues to inflate. Bayern Munich has built its reputation on competing with Europe's biggest spenders while remaining financially responsible, and Eberl's comments suggest that approach is not changing. The club is willing to invest when it sees value, but it also recognizes that not every transfer is worth completing at any cost.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup produced memorable individual performances alongside dramatic knockout matches. While Spain lifted the trophy after defeating Argentina in the final, the tournament also highlighted established superstars and introduced a new generation capable of shaping international football for years to come. Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappé, Rodri, Lautaro Martínez, and Mikel Oyarzabal each left a distinct mark on the competition through goals, creativity, leadership, or tactical influence.
Even at 39 years old, Lionel Messi remained the heartbeat of Argentina's campaign. Although he did not finish the tournament as champion, he demonstrated once again why he remains one of football's defining players.
Messi contributed both goals and **** ists throughout the knockout rounds, combining composure with outstanding decision-making under pressure. Rather than constantly looking to finish attacks himself, he increasingly orchestrated Argentina's play, creating opportunities for teammates and controlling the tempo during crucial moments.
His performances against Cape Verde, Egypt, Switzerland, and England illustrated how experience can become just as valuable as physical explosiveness. Even without lifting the trophy, Messi's tournament reinforced his remarkable World Cup legacy.
If one player elevated his global reputation more than anyone else, it was Lamine Yamal.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to clear the way for an executive order from President Donald Trump that could dramatically change mail-in voting ahead of November's midterm elections.
The Justice Department asked the justices to halt for now lower court decisions blocking the sweeping changes in nearly half the country.
The request comes shortly after Trump delivered a primetime address elevating his yearslong push to raise doubts about the legitimacy of elections, and could be one of several voting-related challenges before the court ahead of the high-stakes midterm contest.
Trump ordered the government in March to create a "state citizenship list" of eligible voters and deliver mail ballots only to people on that list.
Democratic officials in 23 states and the District of Columbia sued, saying the Constitution gives states and Congress the authority to set election rules, not the president. Their attorneys have said Trump's proposed changes are ripe for abuse and could cause chaos.

AC Milan's Serie A campaign begins on 23 August, with an away trip to face Ignazio Abate's Torino. One curious statistic links the Rossoneri's last three league visits to Turin: each match featured a penalty. Yet AC Milan only came away victorious when the spot-kick was awarded to the opposition, in one of football's many quirks. The sequence began in February 2025. Torino took the lead through an own goal before referee Simone Sozza awarded AC Milan a first-half penalty. Christian Pulisic stepped up, but Milinković-Savić produced an excellent save. Despite creating numerous chances and eventually finding an equaliser, the Rossoneri ultimately fell to a 2-1 defeat.
A different outcome followed a few months later, in early October 2025, when referee Marco Guida pointed to the spot during Juventus vs AC Milan with the score still goalless. Once again, Pulisic took the penalty, but his effort drifted narrowly wide, and the match finished 0-0. Two months later, it was back to Turin once more. Early in the game between Torino and AC Milan, referee Chiffi awarded a penalty to the hosts. Vlašić converted to give Torino the lead, but after a dramatic and eventful contest, the Rossoneri fought back to secure a 3-2 victory. The penalty spot has also featured prominently in Mike Maignan's summer, who began his World Cup campaign by saving Erling Strand Larsen's penalty in France's victory over Norway. Before that save on the world stage, Maignan had already denied Dybala and Çalhanoğlu from the spot in Serie A, while the only players to beat him were Pellegrini (Roma) and Vlašić (Torino, twice).

Gary Kelly came from behind in dramatic style to beat 17 year-old Liam Hill from Tonga and make it three wins to start his campaign for a third Commonwealth Games medal.
Hill's aggressive style saw him cruise to 9-6 win in the opening set against an out of sorts Kelly but the Ballymoney man found his form to open up a 5-0 lead in the second set.
However, Hill would mount a comeback closing to within a shot heading to the final end.
Holding shot, that would have given him the game, Hill made a tactical error with his final bowl as he committed a 30 second shot clock violation.
It opened the door for Kelly but he still had a difficult shot to walk through it but he produced a superb bowl to trail the jack into the ditch, to take the set 7-4 and set up a one-end decider.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Laura Loomer, an ardent ally of President Donald Trump with a reputation for incendiary social media commentary, sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday after a dramatic turnaround on the war that could have political reverberations back in Washington.
Loomer had spent years minimizing Russia's invasion of Ukraine and amplifying Russian propaganda to her nearly 2 million followers. This week she had a change of heart.
"Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine. Sirens blaring. This is everyday for every Ukrainian," Loomer wrote on X during her visit to the country. "I often said I don't care. Looking back, that wasn't very nice of me to say."
"We need to have moral clarity," she added Thursday.
It was a stunning reversal for a woman who had spent years criticizing U.S. support for Ukraine's defense, declaring it "a country full of ****** apologists" — a claim used by Russia to justify its yearslong invasion — and "led by a Jihadi apologist."

Generating $180,000 annually requires roughly $5.1M at a conservative 3.5% yield, but only $1.8M at an aggressive 10% yield.
A 3.5% dividend yield growing 8% annually doubles income every 9 years, while high-yield static distributions quietly lose real purchasing power to inflation.
Recalculating your target using actual after-tax spending rather than gross income can reduce the conservative capital requirement by more than $1M.
Two retirees, same $1 million, same 4% rule, buy one finished with $1.4 million, the other hit $0 in 12 years. Our free reader guide explains the flaw that separated them, and the income-first method built to avoid it.
Fifteen thousand dollars a month works out to $180,000 a year. That is roughly the income of a senior software engineer, a mid-career physician, or a dual-earner household in a coastal metro. It is also nearly triple the current U.S. per capita disposable personal income of $68,391 and multiples of the median full-time worker's earnings of $1,251 per week. Replacing it through portfolio yield alone is a large capital problem, and the number moves dramatically depending on the yield you are willing to chase.

Since the 2000s began, the Cowboys have had several trades for big-name wide receivers. It's still too early to make an official proclamation, but so far, the trade for George Pickens is looking like it may be the most successful. Our rundown series now comes to one of Dallas' brightest stars, and perhaps their most talked-about player this offseason.
Years in NFL: 4
Acquired by: Trade (2025)
2022 was a year of sweeping change for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger retired, there was a new general manager, and the receiver position was also in flux. George Pickens was part of this new offensive era, a second-round pick to go with first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett. Unlike the rookie QB, Pickens was an immediate contributor in a trio with Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool. Pittsburgh traded Claypool away in November, leaving Johnson and Pickens as the clear starting duo.
For three years, Pickens' talent was clear but so were issues with his maturity and relationship with the Steelers. The team struggled to find its next QB, going through the poo-poo platter of Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph before bringing in Russell Wilson in 2023. While Wilson helped bring some respectability back at QB, Pickens' status with the team was already breaking down. Criticism of his effort became public, and he went into his fourth year without a clear path forward in Pittsburgh.
As it turned out, the path led to Dallas. Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick were sent to the Cowboys for a 2026 third-rounder and Dallas' fifth-round pick in 2027. For the Steelers, it was a decent return on a former second-rounder who they clearly had no intention of re-signing after his rookie deal. For the Cowboys, it was an immediate upgrade at WR2 and a much-needed wingman for CeeDee Lamb, who'd been carrying too much of the receiving load since the departure of Amari Cooper and the decline of Michael Gallup.

Fund managers now see gold (XAU) as the most undervalued **** et since March 2023, according to Bank of America's July survey. The reading arrives as the metal bounces 3.5% in two days from the $3,900-$4,000 support zone.
The last time the survey flipped this way, gold traded below $2,000 and then rallied to $5,598 in January. Whether history repeats may depend on the Federal Reserve and a possible US-Iran truce.
The July edition of the BofA Global Fund Manager Survey polled 181 institutional managers overseeing $484 billion in **** ets. A net 6% of them now call gold undervalued, the first negative overvaluation reading in more than three years.
The shift is dramatic. Through 2025 and early 2026, the same survey showed extreme readings, with a net 40% or more of managers calling gold overvalued near the January peak.
Sentiment has reset after a brutal repricing. Gold trades about 26% below its record, a drawdown that already pushed the metal into bear market territory earlier this month.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi believes his record-breaking maiden international half-century has given him the confidence he needs after a difficult start to life in international cricket.

The 15-year-old announced his arrival in style by smashing an 18-ball fifty against Zimbabwe in the opening T20I in Harare on Thursday, becoming the youngest player to score a half-century in men's international cricket.

The knock marked a dramatic turnaround for the teenage opener, who had endured a disappointing debut series against England. Sooryavanshi managed just 42 runs across his first three T20I innings, scoring 14 off 10 **** , 13 off five deliveries and 15 off 10 **** .

After helping India secure a seven-wicket victory over Zimbabwe and a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, Sooryavanshi said the innings would play a key role in boosting his self-belief at the start of his international journey.

"When you are in the starting phase of your career, and you get such an innings at the start, you get confidence for the next matches. It felt like I was in my zone and I backed my own strength," Sooryavanshi said in a video posted by the BCCI.

At 15 years and 118 days, Sooryavanshi eclipsed a long-standing record held by Sachin Tendulkar. The Indian batting legend was 16 years and 213 days old when he scored his maiden international fifty against Pakistan in the Faisalabad Test in 1989.

Harare has become a particularly memorable venue for the youngster. Earlier this year, he lit up the same ground with a breathtaking 175 off 80 **** against England in the final of the 2026 Under-19 World Cup. Months later, he returned to the venue to produce another innings that underlined his immense potential.

Despite enjoying success in Harare, Sooryavanshi insisted he is not taking any venue or opportunity for granted and remains focused on making meaningful contributions wherever he plays.

"There are some grounds where you like to make runs. I am not taking it for granted. I am just trying to play wherever I can, give my best, contribute to the team and do well," he said.

The teenager also acknowledged the role played by those who have supported him throughout his rise, dedicating the milestone to his family and coaches.

"I will dedicate myself to my family, to my coaches, to everyone who supported me in my journey," he concluded.

Sooryavanshi's explosive knock laid the foundation for India's comfortable chase of Zimbabwe's 125 for seven, with the visitors sealing victory by seven wickets and taking an early advantage in the three-match T20I series.

As the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 ranking continues to unveil names, there has already been plenty of debate around the league. Few rankings generated more discussion than Lamar Jackson's. After finishing No. 2 on last year's list, the Baltimore Ravens' two-time NFL MVP tumbled to No. 69 in the latest edition—a staggering 67-spot drop despite remaining one of the league's most dynamic quarterbacks.
The ranking quickly became a talking point across social media. Ravens fans questioned the results, national media personalities weighed in, and even the team's official social media accounts appeared to push back against the dramatic slide. Now, Ravens head coach Jesse Minter has joined the conversation. During a recent appearance on The Lounge Podcast, Minter was asked about Jackson's placement on the annual player-voted list. Unsurprisingly, he didn't put much stock in the ranking.
"I don't know who voted... I don't know how it works, but if you ask me, there's not 68 players better than Lamar Jackson."
The comment echoed the sentiment shared by much of Baltimore's fan base since the rankings were released. Jackson's resume speaks for itself. He's a two-time NFL MVP, a perennial Pro Bowl and MVP candidate, and one of the most unique offensive weapons the league has ever seen. His dual-threat ability continues to make him the centerpiece of one of football's most difficult offenses to defend, and he's once again expected to have the Ravens among the AFC's top contenders entering the season.
Individual rankings, of course, are subjective. Every offseason produces a handful of controversial placements, and the NFL Top 100 is no exception. Still, Jackson's dramatic fall has become one of this year's biggest surprises. Whether the ranking serves as motivation or simply another offseason talking point remains to be seen, but one thing is already clear.

Let's address the elephant in the room: Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is down 48% from October's 52-week highs as of July 20.
For longtime crypto observers, this drop feels familiar. Digital ****** ets have suffered several drawdowns of this magnitude, and the decline in 2026 isn't even unusual by historical standards. If anything, it's milder than the first three multiyear crypto winters.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Each time Bitcoin prices plunge, many obituaries are written. Each time, the ****** et has eventually recovered to new highs. The rumors of Bitcoin's death have been exaggerated so far. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results, of course, but the pattern does suggest that dramatic price cycles are a predictable feature of this ****** et class rather than a sign of imminent extinction.
The more interesting development isn't the price action; it's how you can now participate without feeling like you need to minor in cryptography.

On Thursday (23), Goiás beat Ceará in a thrilling penalty shootout and won the 2026 Brasileirão U-20 B **** le. The match ended 1-1 in regulation time, and Esmeraldino secured the victory on penalties by 11-10. In a match played at Estádio Presidente Vargas, in Fortaleza (CE), Hallerrandrio opened the scoring for the Goiás side, and Amaral leveled things for Vozão.
During the first half, Ceará were dominant. While the home side tried to find the right **** es, Goiás relied on defending and counterattacks. In the 10th minute, Esmeraldino's strategy paid off. After a misplaced pass by Ceará, the Goiás side recovered the ball and, in a quick move, Hallerrandrio opened the scoring. Alvinegro did not lose heart and remained determined to find the net. In the 35th minute, from a cross by Janderson, Amaral scored with a header to level it for Ceará.

The second half resumed evenly matched and was even more hard-fought. With the score level, both teams gave everything to try to secure the **** le in regulation time, but without success. In the 49th minute, Ceará even found the net through Victor The, but the referee signaled offside at the start of the move.
The penalty shootout was even more dramatic. Neither team wanted to give up the **** le, and both performed very well from the spot. In the end, Goiás came out on top and won 11-10.

Because not even the off-day can come without some ****** mer Mariners news, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports that the Mariners are parting ways with ****** istant hitting coach Bobby Magallenes.
Magallanes joined the staff prior to the 2025 season along with hitting coach Kevin Seitzer, both of whom had been unceremoniously fired by Atlanta after the 2024 season when the Braves finished the season 89-73. That mark was good for second place in the AL East, but broke the Braves' streak of six consecutive division ****** les, even though Atlanta still qualified for the playoffs, where they were swept by the Padres in the Wild Card series. It was a surprising move at the time, and looked on with consternation by many Atlanta fans as Seitzer and Magallanes went on to help the 2025 Mariners get deeper into the playoffs than any other Mariners team in history, making it all the way to the ALCS.
But baseball is often a sport of what-have-you-done-for-me-lately, and the Mariners, floundering after a 3-3 homestand against two of the worst teams in the NL, opted to make a move to try to spark some offense. While bold staffing changes is a common mid-season move among teams that are dramatically failing to live up to expectations, it's curious that Seitzer and Magallanes – long regarded as a package deal and sharing a similar hitting philosophy – weren't both let go. The ineptitude of the Mariners offense, last or near the bottom of the list in most offensive categories, is obvious, but like the 2024 Braves, Seattle's lineup has been wracked by injuries that have affected, at least temporarily, basically every member of the Opening Day roster except second baseman Cole Young [knocks on wood, pours salt circle, extends giant protective umbrella over Cole]. Furthermore, the bilingual Magallanes was a popular figure in the clubhouse, known for his "heck yeah, shoot yeah!" exclamation after wins or offensive outbursts; the deeply religious Magallanes was also a faith leader on the staff, something that resonated with hitters and pitchers alike.
While Seitzer preached an overall hitting mindset and approach, Magallanes's role on staff was to be responsible for more of the nuts-and-bolts mechanical adjustments, something Director of Hitting Edgar Martinez (who remains on staff) also focuses on, so the team might be looking for a new voice to fill that particular role and hopefully create some better on-field results.
To do that, they've promoted Ed Paparella, the Mariners' minor-league hitting coordinator, to a major-league role. The Mariners actually signed Paparella back in 2021 as a free agent out of South Alabama, and while he never played professionally, he quickly ascended the ranks of the minor leagues. At 31, Paparella is more than two decades younger than the 56-year-old Magallanes, and three decades younger than Martinez or Seitzer, perhaps providing more of a peer-adjacent perspective for the Mariners and creating some age diversity on the hi

Artificial intelligence has reshaped the stock market over the past two years, rewarding companies building the infrastructure behind the next generation of computing. Data centers, chips, power systems, and cloud platforms became the picks-and-shovels businesses of the AI boom. But history has shown that markets eventually separate real earnings power from expensive promises. Companies that spend aggressively during a technology transition can create enormous opportunities—but they can also leave investors questioning whether growth will justify the bill.
Few companies have experienced that shift more dramatically than Oracle (ORCL). After riding the AI wave to an all-time high of $345.72 in September 2025, the database and cloud giant has entered one of the steepest declines in its modern history.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla made a dramatic entrance to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, as they strode out of the Tardis at the beginning of the opening ceremony.
As the 11-day sporting extravaganza gets under way, Charles and Camilla had a prominent role in the show at the Hydro arena in Glasgow.
More than 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories will compete across 10 sports and six Para sports.
During the pre-show ahead of the opening ceremony in Glasgow, unicorn mascot Finnie entertained the crowd and Scottish wrestler Grado made an appearance in a teacake costume.
The show then began with a clip of Doctor Who's famous telephone box going on a journey around Scotland.
