A Fresno father's painting hobby led to an unforgettable encounter when Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott not only accepted one of his custom hats, but later wore it and sought out the artist behind it.
Mario Corona, a stay-at-home dad, licensed EMT and aspiring firefighter, began painting hats about a year ago. He said he never expected one of his designs would end up in the hands of an NFL quarterback.
"A day that I definitely won't forget," Corona said.
Recently, Corona completed a Dallas Cowboys collection that included a tribute to Prescott's brother, Jace. Prescott lost his brother to suicide in 2020 and has spoken publicly about raising awareness since then.
Corona created what he calls an "Angel Hat," featuring a portrait of Jace on the side.

Tyler Perry has quietly changed another life through his philanthropy—this time helping a student turn a Harvard dream into reality.
Janay Duberry, a graduate of Tuskegee University, revealed to People that Perry paid the remaining balance of her tuition at Harvard Graduate School of Education after financial aid still left her with a significant gap. The aspiring educator and writer shared the news in a series of emotional Instagram posts, explaining that Perry's generosity removed the final obstacle standing between her and graduate school.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
"After years of writing, building, networking, and earning my degree at Tuskegee University, I was accepted into Harvard," Duberry wrote. "Harvard gave me generous financial aid, but I still faced a significant financial gap and did not know how I would make this dream a reality."
She said that changed when Perry stepped in.

Jerry Falade, who had 14 different publishing houses bidding for his 'Call Me, I'll Hide The Body' novel, is now on the defensive.
An author who lost a seven-figure book deal over accusations that he used AI to write his debut novel is fighting back, denying the claims, as what was once viewed as a hallmark for a young writer has become a source of controversy.
In a series of Instagram posts, Jerry Falade stated he was "Definitely innocent!!!" while adding, "They CAN'T and WON'T stop this Black boy's light from shining."
The aspiring author had written "Call Me, I'll Hide The Body," a crime novel that immediately garnered attention and sparked a bidding war among some of the biggest names in book publishing. More than 14 publishers bid on the novel before Macmillan's Minotaur imprint reportedly acquired the U.S. rights, while HarperCollins secured the U.K. rights. In total, the publishing deal for Falade's debut book and a follow-up was around $2 million.
However, Falade's literary agent stepped in, stating that he could no longer support the book and informing both publishing houses of his concerns about the use of AI in its writing. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Falade informed the outlet that he did use AI, but only during the research phase of the novel, but not for the actual manuscript. He stated he relied on an open-source AI tool to answer research questions tied to the book's subject matter, including forensic details and opted for a locally run model because it does not retain extensive search histories.

NEW DELHI: There was a time when Auqib Nabi didn't own a pair of bowling spikes.
For his first U-19 trial in Jammu & Kashmir, the fast bowler from Baramulla borrowed a pair from a friend. When he eventually earned selection, fate threw up another twist. The friend who had lent him the spikes didn't make the squad. Auqib borrowed another pair from him and played his entire first U-19 tournament in borrowed shoes.
Today, Auqib is making a name for himself with a skill that many fast bowlers spend years trying to master: the ability to swing the ball both ways. He has now earned his maiden India call-up, with the 29-year-old seamer from Jammu & Kashmir replacing the injured Jasprit ******* rah in India's Test squad for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.
Nabi has picked up 104 wickets over the last two Ranji Trophy seasons, virtually breaking the selection door down with his performances. He was also part of the India A squad that toured Sri Lanka recently, where he claimed six wickets in two First Class matches.
Yet, the road to the Indian dressing room wasn't built in fancy academies or elite fast-bowling programmes. It was shaped by a long journey, borrowed equipment and an obsession with learning.
"My parents are government school teachers. Initially, they wanted me to focus on studies, which was natural. Cricket wasn't something we had planned. A friend told me about the Under-19 trials. Until then, I didn't even know they were happening," Auqib had told reporters after picking up a five-wicket haul on the opening day of the Delhi vs Jammu & Kashmir Ranji Trophy match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in November 2025.
Like countless youngsters in Kashmir, his cricketing education began with tennis-ball matches. The transition to leather-ball cricket, however, brought a different challenge.
"The most basic thing a fast bowler needs is a turf wicket," he had said. "Baramulla had turf, but you couldn't bowl there wearing spikes. So I had to travel to Srinagar to practice."
The one-and-a-half-hour journey from Baramulla to Srinagar became part of his routine. Hours on the road simply to bowl a few overs on a proper surface. For many aspiring cricketers, inadequate facilities become a convenient excuse. Auqib never allowed himself that luxury.
"If you want to play for India, these things cannot become excuses. If you want it badly enough, you have to do it."
That philosophy continues to define him.
The philosophy kept motivating him day in and day out, but it was his obsession with learning that made him the bowler he is today.
"When he first joined the J&K team for the Buchi Babu Trophy in Salem in 2023, he could only bowl the outswinger. But he wanted to bowl both ways. So I started working on his inswing," P. Krishnakumar, Jammu & Kashmir's bowling coach, told TimesofIndia.com.
"He has a great wrist position, which is one of his biggest strengths," he said.
There were no shortcuts, and Nabi knew it. He started working on

Zendaya has become one of Hollywood's most versatile and respected performers, building a career that spans acting, music, fashion, and producing. Long before she was headlining blockbuster films and award-winning television series, she was a child model and dancer with a clear dream of performing. Growing up around theater nurtured her love for the arts, but it was watching Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel that convinced her she wanted to pursue acting professionally. Determined to follow that path, she steadily worked her way through auditions before landing roles that introduced her to a global audience.
Her early success came through Disney Channel productions, where she showcased her talents as both an actress and singer. However, Zendaya was eager to prove she could take on more mature and challenging roles beyond the family-friendly image that accompanied her early career. That opportunity arrived in 2017 when she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as MJ in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Appearing alongside Tom Holland, the film marked a major turning point, allowing her to demonstrate a more understated and confident screen presence while reaching an even wider audience. Zendaya has often described the role as the realization of a lifelong ambition to transition from television to feature films.
The same year, she further expanded her reputation by starring in The Greatest Showman, where she portrayed trapeze artist Anne Wheeler. Her character's romance with Phillip Carlyle, played by Zac Efron, became one of the film's emotional highlights, exploring themes of acceptance, courage, and breaking social barriers. Combined with the movie's hugely successful soundtrack, the performance confirmed that Zendaya possessed the rare ability to excel as both an actress and performer, strengthening her reputation as one of Hollywood's brightest young stars.
Her career has continued to flourish through acclaimed projects across film and television, including subsequent Spider-Man films and other critically praised performances. Throughout her success, Zendaya has remained known for her professionalism, humility, and thoughtful perspective on fame. She has frequently spoken about the importance of patience, encouraging aspiring performers to trust their own journey rather than comparing themselves to others. According to Zendaya, growth comes through experience, persistence, and allowing yourself the time to improve without expecting immediate results.
Today, Zendaya is celebrated not only for her talent but also for her authenticity and influence both on and off the screen. Whether portraying complex dramatic characters, leading blockbuster franchises, or inspiring audiences through her interviews and public appearances, she continues to demonstrate that lasting success is built on dedication, resilience, and a willingness to keep learning. Her journey from an ambitious child performer to one of entertainment's most recognizable stars serves as an

NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas has thrown his weight behind Indian batting icons Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, insisting that both veterans still have plenty left in the tank and should be part of India's squad for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
The legendary Pakistan batter, popularly known as the 'Asian Bradman', dismissed concerns surrounding the duo's age and said their skill, experience and continued ability to score runs make them automatic contenders for the marquee tournament, which will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
"Both are very, very good in terms of skill and, given their experience, I don't see any reason why they should not play the World Cup. Age should not be a factor as long as they are fit and continue scoring runs," news agency PTI quoted Zaheer as saying on a Pakistani television channel.
Zaheer, regarded as one of Pakistan's finest batters after scoring more than 100 first-class centuries during his illustrious career, believes Kohli and Rohit possess qualities that only grow stronger with time.
According to the former Pakistan skipper, scoring runs becomes second nature for players of their calibre after spending years at the highest level, while their experience remains invaluable in major ICC tournaments.
He also ******* sed the fitness of the two Indian greats, saying Kohli continues to maintain exceptional physical standards.
"Kohli is still supremely fit, while Rohit just needs to pay a little more attention to his fitness," Zaheer observed.
The Pakistan great added that India would benefit immensely from having both veterans in the dressing room during the 2027 World Cup campaign.
His remarks come at a time when speculation over the future of India's senior stars continues despite both producing match-winning performances in the ODI format.
Zaheer reserved special praise for Rohit after watching the former Indian captain's recent century against England, saying the opener's batting remains a delight to watch.
"I watched Rohit score a hundred against England, and it is still a pleasure to watch him bat. He plays so effortlessly and with such sweet timing," he said.
Rohit's knock against England once again underlined his credentials in the 50-over format, while Kohli has also continued to deliver consistently, strengthening the argument that the experienced pair could still play a crucial role at the next World Cup.
Reflecting on the changing nature of modern cricket, Zaheer acknowledged that T20 cricket has introduced several innovative strokes into the game. However, he insisted that the fundamentals remain just as important, saying every batter aspiring to succeed across formats must master traditional shots like the cover drive and the cut shot.
The former Pakistan captain also spoke about his country's cricketing future, expressing confidence that better days lie ahead.

LUCKNOW: A suspected online betting network has come to light in several district premier leagues organised across Uttar Pradesh, raising concerns over the exposure of young players to illegal activities.
The Uttar Pradesh Cricket ******* ociation (UPCA) office-bearers admitted that they have information about such illegal activities, but claimed that no action could be taken in the absence of a formal complaint.
According to officials and sources ******* ociated with district cricket bodies, a pattern has emerged in which event management companies approach district ******* ociations with proposals to organise franchise-style leagues.
These events are promoted on the lines of the UPT20 League and the Indian Premier League (IPL), with player trials, hotel-based auctions, team branding, live streaming and sponsorship packages.
Office-bearers of a few district cricket ******* ociations claimed that some sponsors or their ******* ociate companies were linked to online betting platforms.
"While the leagues are projected as professional exposure opportunities for budding cricketers, the real financial gains are being generated through betting activity around the matches," an office-bearer of a cricket ******* ociation said.
District leagues are organised in Kanpur, Ayodhya, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut and Ghaziabad.
These tournaments draw young cricketers hoping to be noticed for the UP T20 League, which has become a recognised pathway for players aspiring to reach bigger professional platforms, including the IPL.
Another office-bearer of a district cricket ******* ociation alleged that event management companies were functioning as intermediaries for betting-linked sponsors.
"District league event companies work like agents of betting companies. They connect with district ******* ociations to organise district premier leagues, bring sponsors and handle hosting plans. Some sponsors also have sister companies involved in online betting. This is a planned operation, and the same event company is involved in holding multiple district leagues," he said.
"The model begins with trials where aspiring players are charged Rs 500-Rs 1,000 each for trials in which thousands turn up. The events are then packaged for digital visibility, with team names, match schedules and live scoring being used by betting platforms to attract online wagers," the office-bearer added.
TOI came across digital material indicating that teams from a district league appeared on a betting website. Sources claimed that the sponsor company and the betting platform were linked through a common parent or ******* ociate entity. Such connections, if established, would raise serious questions about the integrity of the tournaments.

When the Dallas Cowboys shipped Micah Parsons off to the land of piney woods and squeaky cheese last summer, they didn’t quite know what they had left in the edge rush department. For years Parsons represented the position group to the highest degree, establishing himself as one of the best in the game. He was the alpha and the omega of the edge room and a player who made things easier for everyone around him. To make things even more unpredictable, Parsons' departure coincided with DeMarcus Lawrence's, pushing the Cowboys headfirst into the unknown.
Yet, the cabinet wasn’t empty. Sam Williams was an aspiring talent, Donovan Ezeiruaku looked like a draft steal and Dante Fowler was a double-digit sack mercenary, so there was hope things would work out. As luck would have it, things did not work out. All three aforementioned players underachieved one way or another and the Cowboys were left scrambling for answers, midseason.
Looking back, it was clear the timing was off on everything; from the time of the Parsons trade, to the testing of internal options, to the hunt for emergency solutions, everything seemed to be too little and too late.
In 2026, Dallas had a chance to fix things at edge rusher. They had a full offseason to strategize, they had money to spend in free agency, and they had picks in the draft. But instead of going all-in at edge rusher, they handled things modestly, adding Rashan Gary in a trade with the Green Bay Packers, drafting Malachi Lawrence in the first round, but largely banking on a scheme change to unlock roster carryovers.
Based on pure personnel, things look mildly better today than they looked at the beginning of last season, but it's not the level of attention many wanted from the home team. There’s a good chance the Cowboys are still one good pass rusher away from being complete and the clock is ticking.

NEW DELHI: Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers says money never motivated him during his illustrious career, insisting his only focus was improving as a cricketer and competing against the best in the world.
Speaking on The Times of India's "Bombay Sports Exchange" podcast, the 41-year-old reflected on how the financial boom in T20 cricket has changed the aspirations of young players, while explaining why his own journey was never driven by lucrative contracts or commercial success.
Asked whether greater financial incentives in Test cricket could encourage youngsters to pursue the longest format, de Villiers admitted that money inevitably draws attention but said it should never be the primary motivation for an aspiring athlete.
"When I was growing up, my dream was simply to play for my country in front of packed crowds. It had nothing to do with money," de Villiers said.
He believes the challenge for Test cricket lies in creating excitement around the format rather than simply increasing player earnings.
"If ****** ody is watching Test cricket, then where is the excitement? If there's no buzz around it, no ultimate trophy that's fiercely contested and celebrated, then why should youngsters dream about becoming Test cricketers?" he said.
While acknowledging the Indian Premier League's remarkable commercial growth, de Villiers revealed he barely paid attention to the financial side of the tournament during his playing days.
"I'll probably give you a very boring answer. Throughout my entire career, I never thought about money, politics or any of that," he said.
"My entire focus was simply on hitting a cricket ball every single day. That's all I thought about."
The former Royal Challengers Bengaluru star admitted that seeing his bank balance increase was a pleasant surprise, but never something that influenced his decisions.
"I'd occasionally look at my bank account and think, 'Wow, that's nice. That's a bonus.' Then I'd ask, 'What do we do now? Invest it? Fine.' And after that, it was straight back to cricket. How can I become better? How can I win games? That's all that mattered."
Looking back after retirement, de Villiers says he now appreciates the scale of cricket's financial growth far more than he did as a player.
"It's incredible to see how much the IPL has grown over the years. It's breathtaking," he said. "I was happy for whoever had built it."
De Villiers also credited his upbringing for shaping his attitude towards wealth, saying he was raised to value hard work and gratitude over financial success.
"I was brought up in a way where money never really moved the needle for me," he said. "From a young age, I was taught that money doesn't grow on trees. You appreciate your blessings. You respect other people."
The South African great said his retirement decision itself was proof that money never dictated his career.
"The minute I felt that desire leavi

Chelsea’s search for certainty in goal has become a recurring subplot of the modern transfer market, and Diogo Costa now appears to sit firmly in that conversation. According to Record (via Sport Witness) Chelsea were among the clubs with scouts present as Portugal beat Croatia, a match in which the Porto captain again underlined why he is regarded as one of Europe’s most complete goalkeepers.
There is a particular kind of authority that elite goalkeepers bring to tournament football. Costa seems to possess it. Against Colombia, he had already been credited with preserving Portugal almost alone at key moments, and his display against Croatia followed the same pattern, calm when required, forceful when needed, and consistently aligned with the rhythm of the game. For a club like Chelsea, where the goalkeeper has often been asked to serve as both last line and first organiser, that blend carries obvious appeal.
Record’s reporting suggests Costa arrived at the World Cup with a substantial market already behind him. What this tournament has done is heighten the sense that his next move is approaching. The report states a transfer “may be closer than ever”, a phrase that captures the momentum building around the 26-year-old as his value and visibility continue to climb.
Chelsea’s interest in elite goalkeepers has hardly been hidden, and Costa fits the profile of a player capable of anchoring a side aspiring to greater control. He commands his area, deals with pressure and, perhaps most importantly in the contemporary game, seems to lend structure to the defence ahead of him. These are not minor details, they are often the difference between a talented side and a settled one.
For now, however, admiration has not become action. Further reports from Portugal say that no formal approach has yet been made to Porto, and no official offer has landed. That matters. Transfer stories can accelerate on performance and projection, but they still require a club to commit itself in practical terms.

Prosecutors in New York have dropped a rape charge against Harvey Weinstein after his accuser Jessica Mann declined to withstand another retrial.
"To be clear, we believe Ms. Mann's account and her credibility as a witness," Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg said in a Thursday statement. "This has been an extraordinarily taxing ordeal for her, and she has never wavered while testifying in front of two grand juries and three trial juries over the course of eight years. We thank her for her honesty and her tremendous bravery."
However, Weinstein will remain behind bars due to his other New York ***** ual felony conviction, as well as those in California.
The disgraced movie mogul was facing one charge of third-degree rape for an alleged incident in 2013 involving former aspiring actress Mann. The case previously ended in a June 2025 mistrial followed by another mistrial last month due to a deadlocked jury.
Last year, Weinstein was found guilty of first-degree ***** ual ***** ault for forcibly subjecting former "Project Runway" production ***** istant Miriam Haley to a ***** act in 2006. He was acquitted on a second charge of ***** ually ***** aulting former model Kaja Sokola, also in '06. This is all in addition to the 16-year sentence the producer is facing in California, following his conviction in December 2022; though that verdict is under a similar appeal that got his initial 2022 New York conviction thrown out.

Kate Middleton reportedly crossed paths with ex Rupert Finch at Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling's wedding. The ceremony was held on June 6 at All Saints' Church in Kemble, Gloucestershire. Netizens raised their eyebrows when Middleton's former boyfriend attended the event with his wife, Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs.
Kate Middleton ended up crossing paths with her ex-boyfriend, Rupert Finch, at Peter Phillips' wedding. Finch showed up at the ceremony with his wife, Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs. The couple was dressed to the nines, with Finch donning a traditional black suit and Issacs looking gorgeous in a breezy floral dress with a white hat and toe pumps.
Meanwhile, Vogue reported that Middleton wore a blush-hued, knee-length dress from Roland Mouret that had drop-waist pleating and a ******* on-down notched collar. The princess paired it with drop earrings by Kiki McDonough, a hat by Jane Taylor, Gianvito Rossi shoes, and a Nigel Milne Birthright three-strand pearl bracelet that previously belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
For the unversed, Middleton and Finch reportedly dated for under a year in 2001. However, they always remained tight-lipped about their relationship. "It's not something I'll ever talk about. It's between Kate and me and was a long time ago," Finch once stated (via Daily Mail). Despite the breakup, the pair reportedly never had bad blood between them. Moreover, Finch attended Middleton's wedding with Prince William in 2011. Their romance was also shown onscreen in the final season of "The Crown." Oli Green and Meg Bellamy played Finch and Middleton, respectively.
Tatler gave details about the relationship in 2023 during the release of the Netflix show's final season. "Finch was considered the ultimate catch by Kate's friends," the outlet said. "At the time of the fashion show, he was reportedly her casual boyfriend and a tall, dark and handsome aspiring lawyer in his fourth year at St Andrews. The pair had reportedly met as students in the St Andrews' halls of residence and were together for just under a year in 2001."
