HOLLYWOOD, CA - SEPTEMBER 30: Voiceover actor Peter Cullen at the Optimus Prime hand and footprint ceremony held at TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX on September 30, 2014 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images)
Peter Cullen, the Canadian voice actor whose deep, measured baritone gave Optimus Prime his voice across four decades of the Transformers franchise, died at his Los Angeles home He was 85. No cause of death was confirmed, and the passing was first reported by TMZ.
His family said in a statement, "Peter Cullen passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family — and held in the hearts of his many friends and countless fans worldwide. His family asks that you honor his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and leading others with compassion, integrity, and loyalty, and always remember: be strong enough to be gentle."
That last phrase — "be strong enough to be gentle" — was the advice Cullen's brother Larry gave him when he auditioned for the role of Optimus Prime in 1984. Cullen based the character's voice on Larry, a Marine veteran, deciding that a true leader's strength should carry warmth rather than aggression. The audition won him the long-running role.
Cullen's animation career began well before Transformers, voicing characters across Pac-Man, Rainbow Brite, Voltron, The Addams Family, and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers as Monterey Jack, and provided the vocal effects of the Predator in the ep 1987 film of the same name. He was also the voice of Eeyore in Disney's Winnie the Pooh properties for years, a role he described as among his favourites. Disney later turned to Brad Garrett for a couple of 2018 productions, though Cullen remained the character's primary voice elsewhere.

U.S. equities rebounded sharply in Q2, with the Russell 3000 gaining 15.4%, supported by AI infrastructure spending, strong earnings, and easing Middle East tensions. Technology led the rally as semiconductors recovered, while Energy and defensive sectors lagged. The portfolio returned 12.1% gross and 11.8% net compared with a 20.3% gain in the Russell 2500 Index. Stock selection weighed on relative performance, as high-beta and high-volatility stocks dominated returns while Quality remained weak, although results improved in June as market participation broadened. Looking ahead, resilient earnings and AI productivity support a constructive outlook, but negative hyperscaler cash flow, sticky inflation, geopolitical risks, index concentration, and elevated valuations warrant caution. The strategy continues to emphasize quality, downside protection, and active management. Additionally, reviewing the Fund's top five holdings could also highlight its best ideas for 2026.

Sarah Jessica Parker is nothing short of a New York icon with her former West Village apartment perfectly capturing the essence of a glamorous life in the Big Apple.

At the time of purchase, the enormous combined **** e, which as of writing is either reportedly still under construction or in its final stages, was thought to cover 13,900 feet upon completion – that's about as big as three NBA regulation basketball courts, for scale.

Zillow Group (NASDAQ: ZG) resolved its antitrust lawsuit with the Federal Trade Commission and five state attorneys general on Monday, heading off a federal trial scheduled to begin this week. The settlement removes an unpredictable legal overhang while leaving Zillow's rentals strategy fully intact.
The agreement keeps Zillow's multifamily distribution partnership with Redfin in place through at least 2030. Listings will continue to syndicate across a combined network that includes Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, Rent.com, ApartmentGuide, Redfin, and Realtor.com.
The network gives property managers a direct alternative to CoStar Group's Apartments.com, which has long commanded the lion's share of institutional multifamily ad dollars. By pooling distribution across Zillow, Redfin, and partner sites, landlords get multi-portal reach through a single contract, while renters see a broader pool of listings on whichever app they open.

Since syndication launched, multifamily listings on Redfin have nearly quadrupled, while Zillow's own multifamily inventory rose roughly 40%. In the second quarter of 2026, Zillow hit a record 79,000 multifamily properties and averaged 2.8 million monthly active rental listings, pushing quarterly rental revenue up 31% year over year to $209 million, led by a 42% surge in multifamily ad sales, putting pressure on Apartments.com's value proposition and pricing structure.

UFC's Contender Series has now delivered one of the greatest upsets in MMA history — at least in terms of the odds.
In the show's Season 10, Week 4 main event on Tuesday, -6000 betting favorite Bella Mir — the much-ballyhooed daughter of UFC legend Frank Mir — suffered the shocking first loss of her professional MMA career to +1500 underdog Alex Apodaca via a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). With the win, Apodaca earned herself a UFC contract.
Mir, 23, has long been considered a blue-chip combat sports prospect under the tutelage of her former UFC heavyweight champion father. UFC CEO Dana White, who's known Bella since she was a child, spoke openly in the lead-up to Tuesday's Contender Series fight about the possibility of the young phenom competing at the 2028 Olympics while pursue **** les in multiple TKO properties: The UFC, UFC BJJ and Zuffa Boxing.
"Alex, what you had to face tonight [was different]," White said following the result. "Now, I'm very proud of myself that in 10 years of doing [Contender Series], I have never had any bias. I don't know anything about anybody coming in. I was overly biased on this fight. I've known Bella for a long time, four years ago we started mapping out her plan and who she was going to be, and you came in tonight [and changed all of that].
"Unbelievable upset. Congratulations, you're in the UFC."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's reported move to the UK is said to be temporary. According to a source, the Sussexes could leave for another country at any time. They suggested that the Duke and the ***** ss would reportedly not return to Britain "forever." The news came after Harry and Markle's report of moving back to his homeland caught attention. Although they would reportedly stay outside London, their return has surprised people.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could reportedly move to another country after the UK. A source told The Times that they never believed the Sussexes would return to Britain forever. The duo is said to be an "international couple" with properties in Montecito and Portugal. "They might suddenly go: 'Why don't we try Canada for a while? Why don't we try Australia?' It's one of the great things about being private individuals [that they can live where they choose]."
Furthermore, the insider hinted that ***** ody knows the timeline of the Sussexes' stay in the UK. "It'll be an extended period of time — it could be six months, it could be a year, it could be more — I don't think even they know yet." However, they might not be living for a short period, as Markle and Harry reportedly enrolled their kids in school.
Another source told the outlet that the Duke and ***** ss waited for their children's admission confirmation before telling King Charles. It has been speculated that they waited till mid-August to confirm if Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet got into their respective schools. "They weren't able to confirm their plans until very late in the day, because the school — rightly — works to their own timetable. There was no special treatment."
Meanwhile, an earlier report suggested that Markle agreed to return to the UK because of her profession.

I'm building additional passive income streams to supplement my paycheck. Every month, I receive dividend payments from Realty Income (NYSE:O), Main Street Capital (NYSE:MAIN), and EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR). It's like getting another paycheck each month, except I didn't have to do any work for the money.
I like investing in these monthly dividend stocks because the recurring cash flow gives me a set amount to reinvest each month until I retire, when it will then help cover some of my living expenses. That beats the lumpier quarterly cadence of most other dividend stocks. Here's a look at why I chose this particular trio of monthly dividend payers.

It has raised its payment for 115 consecutive quarters and 135 times since its 1994 listing on the NYSE. The REIT has increased its payment annually for more than three decades, growing it at a 4.1% compound annual rate. It's as consistent an income stock as they come.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has apologised to a man who remained in prison despite charges against him being dropped.
James Jobson, 62, from Costessey near Norwich, had been accused of sharing details of properties housing asylum seekers and remanded in custody following anti-immigration disorder in Thetford, but Norfolk Police said on Friday that no further action would be taken.
The CPS also confirmed that the charges were dropped against Jobson on Friday, but he was not released from prison until the following day with his family telling the BBC they were "in bits".
A CPS spokesperson said it had been alerted on Saturday to an "inaccuracy in the notice sent to the prison".
"We would like to apologise to James Jobson and his family," they said.

In one of the wealthiest enclaves in South Florida, even a billionaire fortune reportedly is not enough to secure entry.
Indian Creek Country Club, set within the gated island community nicknamed "Billionaire Bunker," reportedly has not admitted Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, media personality Lauren Sánchez, and Ivanka Trump.
According to the Daily Mail, joining the Indian Creek club can be exceptionally difficult, even for people who can cover its reported costs: a $1 million initiation fee and $44,000 in monthly dues.
In February, Bezos and Sánchez reportedly turned up at the club's dock party as part of an apparent bid to make a favorable impression on the board. The pair, owners of three properties on the island, reportedly received a warm response from many members, but no invitation had been extended when the report was published.
Membership has also reportedly proved elusive for Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, whom the report described as owners of a $30 million island home.

Shares of H World Group Limited (NASDAQ:HTHT) jumped 11.3% to $46.61 on August 17 after second-quarter results combined continued growth, a higher outlook, and an aggressive capital-return program. Hotel turnover, which measures room and non-room transaction value across the network, increased 13.2% to RMB30.5 billion, while revenue rose 10.8% to RMB7.1 billion. The company raised its 2026 revenue-growth forecast to 4%-8% from 2%-6% and authorized up to $2.5 billion of dividends and repurchases over three years. For H World Group Limited (NASDAQ:HTHT), the question is whether those returns will come from stronger cash generation or eventually compete with hotel openings and upgrades.
As of June 30, H World Group Limited (NASDAQ:HTHT) operated 13,539 hotels with 1.34 million rooms and had 3,089 unopened hotels in its pipeline. Its China business opened 498 hotels and closed 176 during the quarter. Only one opening was leased and owned, underscoring how expansion is shifting toward managed and franchised properties. Across the group, 93% of rooms operated under those ****** et-light models.
H World Group Limited (NASDAQ:HTHT) ended June with RMB14.2 billion, or $2.1 billion, of cash and equivalents against RMB4.2 billion of debt. Including RMB142 million of restricted cash, net cash totaled RMB10.2 billion. Second-quarter operating cash inflow was RMB3.4 billion. The board also declared an approximately $275 million ordinary dividend, equal to $0.87 per American Depositary Share. The larger plan sets an aggregate three-year ceiling, while leaving the timing and mix of dividends and repurchases to the board.
H World Group Limited (NASDAQ:HTHT) is still expanding, not retreating. Management maintained its 2026 target of 2,200-2,300 gross hotel openings, and nearly every China opening during the quarter used a manachised or franchised structure. Franchisees supply much of the property capital, while H World supplies brands, technology, reservations and operating support.
That structure is already improving the earnings mix. Franchised revenue increased 25.2% to RMB3.6 billion, while H World Group Limited (NASDAQ:HTHT) lifted non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA 20.0% to RMB2.7 billion. Operating margin widened to 31.1% from 27.8%. If that momentum continues, shareholder returns can be funded without sacrificing network growth.

Mark Ruffalo has refuted charges that he is antisemitic. According to the actor, the accusation is baseless and criticizing the Israeli prime minister is not equivalent to being antisemitic.
"The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life," Ruffalo tweeted.
Ruffalo is known as a controversial figure in Hollywood who is ready to speak out, regardless of possible criticism. For example, he faced backlash from people who criticized him for opposing the proposed media merger and criticizing its executives.
"This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country," Ruffalo wrote. "Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle's business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public."
These statements coincide with concerns voiced by media watchdogs and freedom-of-the-press activists, as well as problems ****** ociated with one family acquiring numerous media properties and a lack of transparency in financing such deals.

By Alexander Cornwell
JERUSALEM, Aug 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has warned militant Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank not to steal property owned by Palestinian Americans, describing such behavior as "a violation of God's law".
Huckabee, a Baptist minister and longtime supporter of ‌Israel's settlements, told Reuters in an interview that settlers found to have taken part in a siege of homes in the West Bank village ‌of Qusra, including one belonging to Palestinian American Loui Ridi, could be punished with U.S. sanctions.
Israeli settlers began encircling homes in Qusra on August 9, in what rights groups said was an attempt to seize privately owned Palestinian land. The case has drawn international condemnation.
Israel's military has deployed dozens of troops to the area and has since pushed the settlers back from the homes. But they remain nearby and residents including Ridi say they fear the settlers will encroach on their properties again once those troops pull back.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be planning to sell their Montecito home after reports surfaced about their plans to relocate to the UK. Following their reportedly successful reunion with King Charles, Harry has made it clear that he wants to spend more time in the UK. He wants to rebuild his relationship with his family. Amid this, reports suggest that the Sussexes are planning to return to Britain this month with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. They are also reportedly set to establish a new private residence in the UK and sell their home based in Montecito.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may have decided to sell their house in Montecito. The Duke and **** ss of Sussex moved to California in 2020 after stepping down from their senior working royal duties. They later bought a 7.38-acre property in Montecito. Their mansion features nine bedrooms, a spa with a gym, sauna, game room, home theater, and a massive kitchen. The property also boasts a children's cottage, rose gardens, a swimming pool, and a separate guest house.
Amid their plans to relocate to the UK this month, Jason Streatfeild, a broker, told the New York Post that there have been "rumblings" that the Sussexes would sell the property. He added that every broker wants to get the listing for their house.
According to the outlet, holding onto the property costs them roughly $600,000 a year. This could be a motivating factor in putting it up for sale. The broker further revealed that such big property sales are not generally made public right away. He said, "Many times properties like this will trade off market with a nondisclosure agreement signed and all of the terms sealed until the property records at the county."
The broker added, "It's very possible that they would be listing it, but I have a strong feeling that it's already being discussed and shown." The news comes after Harry and Markle reportedly planned to relocate to the UK along with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

However, some of those efforts have ended sooner than expected. With a potential UK move on the horizon, the expert believes a less controlled and more authentic approach could work in their favor.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are allegedly set to spend an "extended period" in Britain with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The family is expected to establish a private home in the UK while keeping their properties in California and Portugal. They are also reportedly set to remain non-working royals, meaning the move does not signal a return to official royal duties.
Amid the reported move, media expert Sam McAlister has offered the couple some advice. She is known for securing ex-Prince Andrew's BBC Newsnight interview and later working on the Netflix film "Scoop." Now, she believes Harry and Markle could benefit from changing the way they approach their media projects.
Her biggest suggestion is to make their appearances feel less controlled. McAlister told The Royal Observer that audiences increasingly value authenticity. In her view, some of the couple's previous appearances have seemed too carefully arranged. She suggested that more relaxed interviews could help them connect with viewers.

The appeal of real estate investment trusts (REITs) is that you can own a basket of income-generating opportunities with a single investment. They typically yield more than money market funds or short-term CDs, but they also carry price volatility risk. Some REITs are understandably riskier than others, but on the safer side of the spectrum, you have Realty Income (NYSE: O).
Realty Income is one of the country's largest REITs. It's one of the few out there that cut monthly dividend checks, a plus for retirees or anyone relying on regular income from their investments. The most noteworthy thing about Realty Income is that it recently increased its distributions, marking 115 consecutive quarters of increases. Yes, that is not a typo.
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 »
Inflation and rising rates are often risks for many REITs, but that's where Realty Income's structure shines. Its portfolio of more than 15,588 properties is offered as triple net leases. The tenants cover property taxes, insurance, and routine maintenance expenses. This is on top of the gradually rising base rent payments.
It also helps that its properties are heavily weighted to serve all-weather industries. It may have a 78% concentration in retail properties, but its two largest segments -- supermarkets and convenience stores (at 20.5% of the portfolio) -- will draw shoppers in most economic and inflationary climates.

Host Hotels & Resorts (NASDAQ:HST) held its second-quarter earnings call on August 6, and the numbers gave management enough confidence to raise full-year guidance by more than expected. Comparable hotel RevPAR climbed 7% to $251.53 in the quarter, and CEO James Risoleo pointed to luxury resort demand and a run of high-profile events as the drivers. That combination pushed the company to lift its 2026 RevPAR growth range by 125 basis points at the midpoint, to 4.75% to 5.25%.
Every demand segment moved in the same direction. Transient revenue rose 6.9% to $559 million, the strongest growth in seven quarters, while group room revenue grew 7.4% to $332 million on a sellout of 1.1 million room nights. The World Cup added roughly 160 basis points to second-quarter RevPAR growth, and RevPAR in World Cup host markets jumped 15% in June against 12% elsewhere. Maui kept recovering too, with RevPAR up 14% and occupancy up more than 8 percentage points, and golf revenue there now sits 9% ahead of levels seen before the wildfires.
Behind the quarter sits a longer bet on renovated properties. Host Hotels has poured about $2.1 billion into 34 hotels across its Marriott and Hyatt portfolios, a program expected to generate 60% of hotel EBITDA in 2026, and the 21 properties already stabilized have gained roughly 9 points of RevPAR index share on average. That reinvestment, plus a $500 million gain from selling its Four Seasons resorts, funded a $0.72 per share special dividend in July on top of the regular $0.20 payout, all while leverage held at 2.2 times.
CFO Sourav Ghosh was direct about what comes next, saying the company expects margin comparisons to moderate in the second half largely because rate growth will not repeat at the same pace. Much of the first half's strength leaned on tailwinds that fade as the year goes on, including the World Cup and a busy events calendar.
Costs are creeping in from other directions too. A Kona low rainstorm in Hawaii is expected to cause $27 million to $32 million in property damage, and while insurance should cover most of it, remediation alone runs about $2 million. The Four Seasons condo development at Walt Disney World, with 28 of 40 units closed, saw its 2026 EBITDA guidance trimmed to $16 million to $20 million from $20 million to $25 million purely on closing timing. Wage rates are still climbing 5% for the year, and labor makes up about half of total hotel operating expenses.

MILAN (AP) — Italian authorities recovered three artworks by Renoir, Cézanne and Matisse worth millions of euros that were stolen earlier this year from a private museum near the northern city of Parma, police said Friday. Five people were detained.
A statement from the Italian Carabinieri's art recovery squad said the artworks were discovered in the possession of one of the suspects during searches ordered by prosecutors in the Parma province and neighboring provinces. The five suspects detained are believed to belong to an organized crime group responsible for numerous thefts of homes, businesses and other properties. Police also recovered stolen goods worth tens of thousands of euros.
Meanwhile, Brazilian police said late Thursday they located eight stolen works by Matisse following an apartment raid outside Sao Paulo. There were no apparent links between the two thefts.
The three artworks recovered in Italy are "Fish," a painting by Auguste Renoir, "Still Life with Cherries," a pencil and watercolor by Paul Cézanne, and "Odalisque on the Terrace," a color aqatint by Henri Matisse. Authorities said the Cézanne was valued at 6 million euros ($7 million), the Renoir at 3 million euros ($3.5 million), and the Matisse at 20,000 euros ($23,000).
The heist at the Magnani Rocca Foundation, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Parma, took place on the night of March 22-23, police said. Video distributed by authorities showed the thieves entering through a broken door window and then taking the three artworks down from adjacent walls before exiting and escaping through the gardens in a matter of minutes.

Hotel uniforms can become a hidden cost centre when operators focus on the initial purchase price rather than how garments perform in daily operations.
Poor fit, unsuitable fabrics and fragmented sourcing can lead to alterations, replacements, emergency orders, wasted stock and additional administration. These costs can become more significant as hotel groups expand across multiple properties.
Johnny Beig is founder and managing director of DIOZ Group, a global apparel and private-label manufacturing company. He argues that hotels should therefore treat uniform programmes as an operational and procurement issue rather than simply an apparel purchase.
"The biggest hidden cost is that a uniform is never just a garment," Beig said. "If it is poorly designed, poorly fitted, or not built around the realities of hotel operations, the cost shows up in many places at once."
Those costs can include staff discomfort, reordering, alterations, delays, waste and inconsistencies in how a hotel brand is presented, he added.
