Julia Burch once worried that three inches, or perhaps a few more, could stand between her and the career she wanted.
Standing 5-foot-3, the Canadian creator dreamed of becoming a fashion model and admired stars like Bella Hadid. However, after early conversations with modeling agencies left her discouraged about her height, Burch eventually found another route into the spotlight, one that allowed her to build an audience on her own terms.
Long before social media became her career, Julia Burch had her sights set on the traditional modeling industry.
The creator told The Blast exclusively that she looked up to established models, including Bella Hadid, and wanted the opportunity to follow a similar path. Her height, however, quickly became a source of concern as she began exploring the industry.
At 5-foot-3, Burch found herself confronting expectations that made her question whether the career she imagined was even possible.

1433 ET – Gold futures rise for a second session as Treasury yields ease and the dollar weakens, with the market waiting to see Friday’s August employment report and its implications for the Fed’s mid-September meeting. Gold traders are also keeping a wary eye on events in the Middle East, where renewed fighting is pushing up oil prices, risking inflation pressures that could in turn lead to higher interest rates. Front-month gold settles up 2.9% in New York at $4,491.70 a troy ounce. Silver rises 3.5% to $66.973 a troy ounce. (anthony.harrupwsj.com)

WestEnd Capital Management, an investment advisor, released its Q2 2026 investor letter. The letter can be downloaded here. WestEnd Capital Management's Core Strategy achieved a 16.3% net return in the quarter, surpassing the S&P 500's 15.0%. This performance stemmed from strong earnings generators and upward earnings revisions, showcasing U.S. companies' efficiency in converting sales into profits. S&P 500 net profit margins reached a decade-high of 14.8% in Q1 and are expected to remain above 14% in Q2 despite challenges like higher interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty. Technology remains a key focus in WestEnd's portfolio, along with investments in infrastructure, demographic shifts, financial innovation, and selective consumer opportunities. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, WestEnd Capital Management highlighted Janus Living, Inc. (NYSE:JAN). Janus Living, Inc. (NYSE:JAN) is the only U.S. publicly traded REIT focused exclusively on the senior housing sector and the only U.S. publicly traded REIT. On September 2, 2026, Janus Living, Inc. (NYSE:JAN) closed at $30.70 per share. Over the past month, Janus Living, Inc. (NYSE:JAN) returned 5.51%, and its shares are up 27.08% over the three months. Janus Living, Inc. (NYSE:JAN) has a market capitalization of $9.45 billion.
WestEnd Capital Management stated the following regarding Janus Living, Inc. (NYSE:JAN) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Janus Living, Inc. (NYSE:JAN) is one of the nation's largest pure-play owners and operators of senior housing communities. Unlike traditional triple-net REITs that collect fixed lease payments, Janus generates operating income directly from resident rents and service fees. That means the company captures the full operational upside as occupancy and rental rates increase, while also ******* uming the operational risks of running its communities. Because residents pay privately rather than through Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement programs, the business is largely insulated from changes in government reimbursement policy.
The industry's long-term fundamentals remain compelling:

"WWE SmackDown" is in Cleveland on this Friday, Sept. 4, headlined by a surprise CM Punk vs. Johnny Gargano world ****** le match. For Gargano, the match is his first since April. Follow tonight's "WWE SmackDown" live results and play-by-play of the action here.
Gargano has been sporadically planking ever since his longtime best frenemy, Tommaso Ciampa, left WWE for AEW in January. Then, in April, it became his entire gimmick, where he'd be seen exclusively in backstage segments with others speaking around him. Sami Zayn became the most prominent figure to console and relate to Gargano, seemingly setting up Gargano's eventual rise when Zayn became champion. Instead, Gargano gets a huge match in his home city. He and CM Punk have never wrestled each other before.
Tag-team action will also be on display in both the men's and women's divisions, starting with the WWE debut of Kyoki (formerly NJPW's Hiromu Takahashi). The ****** anese superstar debuts alongside Shinsuke Nakamura to form the Bakusai team and take on The Miz & Kit Wilson. After that, Charlotte Flair and Tatum Paxley take on the Women's Tag Team Champions, Fatal Influence, in a non-title match.
Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton will also rekindle their old rivalry in a singles match, while Giulia and Blake Monroe are scheduled once again for a match.
Check out Friday night's full "WWE SmackDown" lineup below, which starts at 8 p.m. ET on USA Network:

1357 ET – Gold futures snap a three-session losing streak as Treasury yields ease. The market is closely watching for Friday’s employment report, where a strong jobs showing could add to Fed rate-hike expectations. ADP reported a smaller-than-expected 38,000 increase in private-sector jobs in August. “Softer data can ease the downside risk, while stronger figures or more hawkish Fed comments may trigger additional weakness,” Konstantinos Chrysikos of Kudo.com says in a note. Front month gold rises 0.4% to $4,366.30 a troy ounce. Silver edges up 0.2% to $64.723 a troy ounce. (anthony.harrupwsj.com)

One star player is convinced he'll agree a move to Liverpool. This is despite completing a medical with one of the Reds' fierce rivals.
We were eager for Liverpool to sign a defensive midfielder this summer. That didn't happen, unfortunately, and now the middle of the pitch remains an incredible opportunity for opposing teams.
That's certainly the feeling coming out of the opening two games. Both Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest were able to counter almost at will through the middle. Liverpool simply didn't address it as a problem.
But it sounds as though they might. Or at least, they're hoping to and now a genuinely brilliant midfielder is convinced he can secure a move in January.
That's according to IndyKaila, who has been bang on the money for most things this summer. He reports exclusively that Lamine Camara is eager to move to Liverpool and is 'convinced' of a January transfer.

1552 ET – Mexico’s pipeline imports of U.S. natural gas were a record near 7.9 billion cubic feet a day in August, with gas for electricity generation in Mexico last month at an all-time high 5.8 Bcf/d, Wood Mackenzie says in a release. The firm projects that exports to Mexico have reached their 2026 peak. While volumes remain strong in early September, “Mexican gas and power markets are set to enter a gradual seasonal decline, driven by easing cooling loads, shoulder-season maintenance windows, and holiday-related demand softness.” The medium-term trend remains upward, however, as Mexico continues expanding its fleet of combined-cycle power plants, Wood Mackenzie adds.

British actor Tim Curry died of coronary artery disease, his spokesman has confirmed to the BBC.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show star died in his Los Angeles home on 25 August, aged 80.
In addition to the heart condition, Curry had a history of stroke and kidney cancer, which were significant conditions that contributed to his death, his spokesman said, citing a death certificate filed in Los Angeles County.
Stars of stage and screen paid tribute to the actor, who shot to fame as the lingerie-clad Dr Frank-N-Furter in the cult 1975 film The Rocky Horror Show.
After having a near-fatal stroke in 2012, the actor used a wheelchair. He shifted his focus to voice acting exclusively, expressing gratitude that the stroke resulted in paralysis rather than taking away his ability to speak.

It's no secret the Internet is obsessed with Zosia Mamet, but the actress is ready to share her own obsessions in her new Lemonada Media podcast, "OMG Obsessed."
The podcast network unveiled its fall slate exclusively to TheWrap on Wednesday, teasing the "Girls" actress' upcoming conversations with guests as they "unpack the passions, fixations and rabbit holes they can't stop thinking about" ahead of a Sept. 16 premiere.
"I'm an extremely curious (and admittedly obsessive) person, so this show feels like a dream," Mamet said in a statement. "Everyone has that one thing they could talk about forever, and I've always found those conversations to be the most fun. They're revealing, they're weird and they're usually way more interesting than small talk. I hope people laugh, discover something unexpected and maybe leave with a few new obsessions of their own."
"The content landscape is so saturated these days, but at Lemonada we still believe that if you make great shows with extraordinary talent, audiences will find them," Lemonada Media CEO Stephanie Wittels Wachs echoed. "We're focused on creating content that people are genuinely 'OMG Obsessed' with – investing in singular voices native to the creator economy, building every show for a video-first ecosystem and giving creators the room to surprise audiences with something fresh."
The podcast company will also soon be premiering "So U Think U Can Sports?" with Eliot Glazer (Oct. 6), "Criminally Online" with "Survivor" all-star/public defender Eliza Orlins and law professor Thea Johnson (October), and Season 3 of "Squeezed" with Yvette Nicole Brown (Oct. 28), as well as an untitled entry from "Pen15" star Anna Konkle in January 2027.

Santos FC is incorporating APS – Acqua Performance System into its high-performance structure, a methodology developed by Pai e Filho ****** soria, a national benchmark in large-scale and shared-use swimming pools. Created especially for high-performance sports, APS establishes a new concept in aquatic environment care, aimed at athletes' training, recovery, and preparation routines.
Unlike conventional pool treatment, APS is based on an athlete-focused approach. The methodology combines highly precise chemical management, continuous monitoring of water parameters, automation, filtration efficiency, and complementary technologies, seeking to provide a more controlled aquatic environment suited to the demands of a high-performance sports routine.
One of the system's main focuses is eliminating factors ****** ociated with respiratory, eye, and skin discomfort, especially in athletes exposed to the pool frequently.
APS is based on the principle that an aquatic environment developed specifically for high performance helps give athletes better conditions to train, carry out their recovery processes, and reach their full potential. By reducing factors that cause discomfort and more precisely controlling water conditions, the methodology seeks to improve the quality and consistency of training. Better preparation conditions allow athletes to get more out of each session and, as a result, contribute to the development of their sporting performance.
With more than 30 years of experience in shared-use pools, Pai e Filho ****** soria developed APS from the knowledge accumulated in the operation and management of large aquatic facilities. The methodology is intended exclusively for training centers and environments connected to high-performance sports.

Conan O'Brien joked about having the same decorating style as President Donald Trump during a silly moment on his latest podcast.
While riffing about his beloved golden retriever on Monday's episode of "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend," the comic said he deals with his dog's shedding habit by buying exclusively gold clothes.
Spotting an opportunity to roast the president and his famous fondness for shiny things, O'Brien said he'd even given his home the Midas touch with a metallic paint job and "all gold rugs."

More than two hours after the 11:00 AM Central time deadline, the National Football League has announced the waiver claims that teams around the NFL have made, and the Minnesota Vikings have been awarded two players off of the waiver wire, both of them offensive linemen.
Per numerous reports, the team has claimed center Nick Samac and guard Trevor Keegan. Corresponding roster moves to put them on the 53-man roster have not been announced at the present time.
Samac (pronounced SAY-mack) was a seventh-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in the 2024 NFL Draft after playing his college ball at Michigan State. He spent the 2024 season on the Baltimore practice squad, and after being waived by the Ravens following camp in 2025 and signed to their practice squad, he was signed by the Carolina Panthers to their active roster. He appeared in 11 games for the Panthers in 2025, playing exclusively on special teams.
Keegan was a fifth-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 NFL Draft after his college career at the University of Michigan. A First-Team All-Big Ten Selection in 2022 and a Second-Team All-Big Ten Selection in 2023, Keegan was a part of the Eagles team that won the Super Bowl in 2024. (Yes, he only appeared in one game that season, but hey. . .rings is rings.) He was waived by the Eagles in August of 2025 and claimed by their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. He appeared in two games for the Cowboys before being placed on injured reserve with a neck injury.
None of the players that the Vikings waived on Sunday as part of getting down to the 53-man roster were claimed by other teams.

Susan Lucci is certainly a gorgeous woman, and a legend in daytime soap as Erica Kane in "All My Children." With over 40 years in TV, it comes as no surprise that Lucci has also developed her own personal sense of style. This was demonstrated when she selected a super-colorful gown to wear to her son's wedding for a mother-of-the-groom look that serves as the perfect inspo for older women. Lucci has long since shown her unique, eclectic fashion sense on the red carpet, proving that age is no barrier to having fun with fashion.
Unlike other Hollywood celebs today, Lucci doesn't seem to favor donning one-tone, neutral color palettes. Her wardrobe is filled with bright, vivid colors, patterns, and materials, and she's said before that she's prioritizing feeling and looking amazing, no matter what anyone thinks. "Keep on looking your best and feeling your best," Lucci exclusively shared with Today, per AARP. As such, here are some of Susan Lucci's best red carpet looks that demonstrate just how daring she is.

2026 is looking to be a momentous year for Susan Lucci as she heralded her return to the big screen with the movie, "Outcome." She attended the premiere for the film in an eye-catching Oscar de la Renta dress, a strapless number in a beautiful pale blue with purple, floral motifs adorning the bodice and skirt. Although she left her neck bare, Lucci chose a pair of diamond tassel earrings that she showed off to full effect by putting her hair up in an elegant updo. Truly, she rocked this dress.

Bayern Munich's connection to Red&Gold Football, as co-founders alongside Los Angelese FC, has seen the club expand its' youth movement. Players from Red&Gold Football partner clubs train and trial in Munich, with Bara Sapoko Ndiaye one of many to trial and the first to succeed in earning a move to Bayern, while acquired players move between these clubs, such as when Armindo Sieb left for LAFC.
One of the benefits most apparent to the average fan Bayern enjoyed was the ability to loan players out to Grasshopper Zürich. The Swiss Super League team was never part Red&Gold Football, but LAFC were majority stakeholders at the club and that connection allowed Bayern to send loan players to Switzerland to get their feet wet in professional football. Grayson Dettoni, Nestory Irankunda, Jonathan Asp Jensen and Lovro Zvonarek all had stints in Zürich.
But that will no longer happen. As of the end of June 2026, LAFC sold their majority stake in Grasshopper Zürich. As reported by Tzmuenchen (and captured by iMiaSanMia) this ends their status as potential loan destination for Bayern talents:
Bayern's Red&Gold Football partner LAFC sold their majority stake in Grasshopper Club Zürich at the end of June, therefore the Swiss club is no longer a partner club and no longer a potential loan destination for Bayern youth talents. LAFC will focus exclusively on the existing partnership with Austrian second division club FC Wacker Innsbruck, and are also exploring the European market for a potential investment in a new club. FC Bayern could then potentially benefit from such an investment.
This is good and bad. No club should have to accept loan players if it is in another club's best interest. These are the worst aspects of such multi-club groups. Unfortunately, Grasshopper Zürich landed right in the hands of another multi-club ownership group, Bridge Football Group.

If you're an avid reader of Acme Packing Company, you know that I feel like the Green Bay Packers show their cards a bit when it comes to pre-draft visitors. Since 2022, when the Packers appeared to have changed their visit strategy from almost being used exclusively on undrafted free agent rookie recruiting to more of a mix of picks and free agent prospects, Green Bay has signed, traded for, drafted or claimed on waivers 36 players who were pre-draft visitors with the team.
Often, when these players become available (some of them never become available, because they were high draft picks who were picked before the Packers were on the clock), Green Bay ends up targeting them in some way or another. While players like Darian Kinnard, John FitzPatrick and Josh Whyle weren't originally picked by the Packers, they did find their way to Green Bay later in their careers.
So, when a pre-draft visitor becomes available, my radar always goes up, especially if it's the first time the Packers have had a shot at bringing them to Green Bay since draft weekend. That's the case right now with New York Giants running back Damon Bankston, who was waived by the team on Saturday.
Bankston took a pre-draft visit with the Packers this spring, but ended up signing with the Giants for $115,000 guaranteed, far more than Green Bay spent on their UDFA running back signing, Jaden Nixon — who was added to the offseason roster for $15,000 guaranteed.
The New Mexico product was an interesting sleeper prospect in the class of 2026, as he posted 635 rushing yards (5.6 yards per carry), five touchdowns on the ground and caught 31 ****** for 397 yards and three touchdowns (12.8 yards per reception, a very high number for backs) through the air in his one year of FBS football. The numbers don't exactly look incredible from a volume perspective, but he was very efficient in the 9-4 Lobos' running back by committee (and he led the team in yards from scrimmage).

Bengaluru: While the Indian cricket team made its Asian Games debut in Hangzhou in 2023, its first appearance at a multi-sport event came at the 1998 Commonwealth Games. In Kuala Lumpur, a star-studded side featuring Sachin Tendulkar, Anil ***** ble, VVS Laxman and Harbhajan Singh bowed out in the league phase. Twenty-five years later, Laxman returned to the multi-sport arena, this time as coach, guiding India to gold in Hangzhou.
Now, as the Shreyas Iyer-led Indian team prepares to defend its ***** le at Korogi Athletic Park in Aichi Prefecture, ***** an beginning with the quarterfinals on Sept 28, Laxman spoke exclusively to TOI of the unique appeal of multi-sport events, India's Asian Games campaign and the experience of being part of the cricket team's journey from its first CWG appearance to maiden Asian Games gold.
"My first experience of a multi-discipline event was at the 1998 Commonwealth Games. The whole experience of being part of the Indian contingent feels really great, and that kind of experience every young cricketer should get. It's great that I've had that opportunity both as a player and coach," said the head of cricket at the BCCI Centre of Excellence.
Recalling the Hangzhou experience, the former batting great said, "Obviously, it's not like your mainstream cricket series or tournaments that we've been part of since we started playing for the country. The Asian Games was a great experience and exposure because not often do we get to visit the Games village, meet a sportsperson from other disciplines, interact with them, see how they train and prepare. A group of us went to support the Indian badminton team, which was fantastic."
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are the seeded teams making the quarterfinals directly, with Afghanistan, ***** an, Nepal, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Oman fighting for the other four knockout berths.
While India will start favourites, they can ill afford to take the other teams lightly, with Nepal giving them a run for their medal in the previous edition before India won by 23 runs to make the semifinals.
India will play a match against ***** an and train in Tokyo for three days before heading to the host city. Laxman pointed to the match against Nepal and said, "One thing which we have learnt playing the game is never underestimate your opponent."
Beyond the game, Laxman believes it is about knowledge sharing.
"Given the experience and the exposure the Indian cricketers have, at the end of the match it's also about sharing that experience with players from other countries. After Nepal ran us close in the previous edition of the Asian Games, their coach invited me to talk to the team, which was an opportunity to share knowledge. It's not just me, but that's the way the entire group of players will approach the experience," Laxman stated.

1422 ET – Gold futures ease back from the three-month highs reached early this week after PCE inflation—a consumer price gauge favored by the Fed—picked up in July. The report was closely watched given its implications for Fed policy. “The metal could continue to benefit from concerns over U.S. debt levels as well as expectations of a Fed hold at its next meeting,” Critical Metals CEO Tony Sage says in a note. “However, a hike is still expected at the following meeting, which could fuel some pressure.” Front month gold finishes down 0.86% to $4598.20 a troy ounce. Silver drops 0.94% to $67.990 a troy ounce.(anthony.harrupwsj.com)

Amber Uhler survived a childhood drowning and now advocates for water safety through education and prevention efforts
She tells PEOPLE about a harrowing experience that prompted her to get CPR-certified and educated on water safety matters
Uhler created a "Water Watcher" card to help adults stay focused on supervising children around water
When Amber Uhler was five years old, she got away from her father during a family fishing trip and fell into a nearby lake. She remembers sinking beneath the waves and the "murky green water" as she fell farther and farther into the lake's depths.
She calls it her first "cinematic memory," speaking exclusively with PEOPLE. "The last thought I had before I went unconscious was that my dad's going to be so mad because I didn't do what he said."
Uhler was lucky that her brother saw her dropping beneath the waves from about 30 yards away, and he was able to find her in the cloudy lake water.
"I'm so highly aware that that is not the usual ending to that story," she says.
Uhler will represent the pageant on Aug. 27.

Ricky Schroder is facing criticism after using his tribute to Dolly Parton to highlight their differences over transgender rights and COVID-19 vaccines. The actor shared a photograph taken with the country music legend while remembering the two television movies they made together. However, his decision to bring politics into the tribute quickly overshadowed his message about Parton, with critics accusing him of using her death to promote his personal views.
AFF-USA.com / MEGA
Schroder shared his tribute on Instagram, posting a photograph taken with Parton years before her death. Rather than focusing exclusively on his memories of working with the singer, the actor emphasized that they did not agree on certain social and political issues.
"I didnt agree with her advocating for Transgender & Covid Vaccine support…but Loved her anyway. Thank you for choosing me, Dolly, to be your Movie Daddy," Schroder wrote.
The post immediately generated criticism in the comments section. Many social media users questioned why Schroder felt it was necessary to mention their differences while paying tribute to Parton following her death at age 80.
