Kai Trump's tour of her digs at the University of Miami has plenty of lookie-loos ― more than 560,000 so far.
The president's granddaughter, a freshman golfer for the Hurricanes who just started her first semester, gave a walk-through on her YouTube channel that revealed unsurprising luxury. A kitchen with a large island counter, bedroom, office, two bathrooms and a fireplace, "which I think is the coolest part of this."

She pointed out a photo of Aspen gondolas to show off her love of skiing. "I actually hung up that myself," she chirped.
And of course there's a "photo of me and Grandpa."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stepped out for a date night in New York City amid speculation about how his NFL season could affect their marriage. This date night comes over two months after the couple tied the knot on July 3 at iconic Madison Square Garden in the city. Interestingly, this romantic outing also comes at a time when reports have hinted that Kelce's new innings with the Chiefs will put his marriage to Swift to a test.
It seems like Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have put all rumors to rest by spending a romantic date night outing in NYC. Page Six shared exclusive photos of Swift and Kelce in stylish outfits as they dined at the Indian restaurant Ambassadors Clubhouse. Notably, it is a hotspot located in the NoMad district on Sunday night.
In the photos, the Chiefs tight end puts a protective hand on his wife's waist as they walk into the restaurant from their SUV. The "Opalite" crooner modelled a metallic graphite brown halter dress by Stella McCartney. As per the outlet, she paired it with a red-brown purse and matching metallic heels that added an extra dose of oomph to the look.
She also reportedly opted for the Elizabeth Taylor opal ring and bracelet set, which her now-husband gifted her last Christmas. Swift's wispy bangs framed her face as she paired it with her signature red lipstick look for the romantic night out.
Kelce opted for a white silk striped shirt with brown trousers and checkered shoes. He completed the look with stylish aviators and a watch. It seems like Swift and Kelce have taken it upon themselves to ****** ure their fans and well-wishers that there is nothing to worry about.

Fans haven't seen much of Julia Roberts lately, but a source says Danny Moder is getting plenty of face time with the Oscar winner.
"Julia is in another one of her long work hiatuses and spending all of her time at home with Danny," the source explains to Star. "It puts Danny in the hot seat, because when Julia's home, she likes to have Danny around. If she isn't acting he can't just bail and go work on a film himself."
According to the source, the Pretty Woman icon, 58, has been extra clingy now that the three kids she and the cinematographer, 57, share — twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 21, and son Henry, 19 — are out of the house.
"They're empty nesters and Julia refuses to go through that process alone," spills the source.

Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves was in Slovenia in August for a minicamp hosted by teammate Luka Doncic, and he has now made another trip abroad in September. Reaves' longtime girlfriend, Jenna Barber, posted pictures on Instagram on Sunday of the couple vacationing in Mexico with their friends.
Barber and Reaves can be seen relaxing on a yacht in a couple of the pictures, and they also spent time at a Señor Frog's restaurant with the group.
This could be Reaves' last vacation this summer, as the Lakers commence their training camp on Sept. 29. It will be time to get back to work pretty soon. That Slovenia minicamp was a bit more of a bonding trip, and it was needed with all the new faces on the Lakers' roster. They'll have close to 10 new players in the rotation.
Bronny James isn't one of the new faces, but he enjoyed the experience and made it clear the trip helped the team. Speaking of Bronny, his father LeBron James left the Lakers this summer for the Philadelphia 76ers.
LeBron's departure puts more pressure on Reaves, who is now the unquestioned second option behind Doncic. Now, the 28-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, having averaged 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.5 **** ists, 1.1 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game in 2025-26.

It's still unbelievable to think about how Michigan walked away from Saturday's game against Western Michigan with a 13-12 win.
It definitely looked like Western Michigan won the game until a review put one second left on the clock, giving Michigan one more chance at a Hail Mary. Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood uncorked a pass toward the end zone, and it was caught by JJ Buchanan.

Western Michigan president Russ Kavalhuna spoke about the play during a news conference on Sunday and confirmed there is no way to appeal the decision.
"I did want to find a way to appeal that decision, but there is none," Kavalhuna said.

The Mets are promoting pitching prospect Gary Gill Hill from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse, the team announced on Sunday.
Gill Hill joined the Mets organization as part of the trade that sent Freddy Peralta to the Tampa Bay Rays at this year's trade deadline and had pitched well with the Rumble Ponies. In five starts, the right-hander went 2-0 with a 3.76 ERA (1.22 WHIP) and struck out 28 batters over 26.1 innings.
Overall, the 21-year-old has a 4.34 ERA in 25 starts between High-A, where he began the season, and Double-A.
New York's No. 19 overall prospect, according to SNY, Gill Hill's last start in Binghamton came on Sept. 1, which puts him on schedule to make his debut for Syracuse soon.
The promotion comes after the Mets recalled Jonah Tong from Triple-A to the big leagues, leaving a spot open in the starting rotation.

Wall Street's 64% EPS growth forecast puts NVDA on track for $851 billion in annual net income by 2029, shattering Aramco's all-time corporate profit record.
Jensen Huang says the entire supply chain is running flat out, backed by a $2 trillion cloud backlog and $1.3 trillion in projected 2027 hyperscaler capex.
Just released. Our ******* ysts combed the entire stock market and named the ten best stocks to buy right now, and NVIDIA made the cut. Enter your email to see the other nine names and why NVDA earned its spot. The report is free. Enter your email and see the full list.
$851 billion. That is the approximate annual net income NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) would generate three years out if Wall Street's forecast of a 64% compounded EPS growth rate plays through, applied to a trailing-12-month base of roughly $193 billion in net income and $7.91 in TTM diluted EPS. For context, Saudi Aramco holds the record for the largest annual profit any company has ever reported, at $161.1 billion in 2022. This is a projection based on ******* yst compounding ******* umptions rather than issued company guidance.
The projected walk is stepwise: Year 1 EPS $13.0 (about $316 billion in net income), Year 2 $21.3 (about $519 billion), and Year 3 $34.9 (about $851 billion). Back into revenue at NVIDIA's current profitability profile and Year 3 sales land near $1.35 trillion, roughly 4 to 4.5 times the current trailing-12-month revenue of about $303 billion.

Matt LaFleur's win percentage puts him in elite company. His 65.4% mark is tied for 16th all time. It's better than Bill Belichick's career mark of 64.7%.
But maybe that's not good enough for Green Bay Packers fans.
There were questions late last season if LaFleur was coaching for his job. As the Packers faltered following Micah Parsons' injury, speculation grew. That ultimately didn't matter. Despite the Packers losing their last five games, including two blown leads to the Chicago Bears, LaFleur signed a multi-year extension in January.
Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season
Still, if the Packers fail to make the playoffs this season, would LaFleur be on the hot seat? The fact that it's even a topic says something about the lack of patience in the NFL.

BLOOMINGTON — The Indiana football team is long past celebrating last year's national ******* le win.
Ahead of a 52-16 win over North Texas on Saturday, the No, 6 Hoosiers (1-0) debuted a 2025 championship banner in the south end zone of Memorial Stadium. The sold out crowd broke into a sing-a-long to Queen's "We Are The Champions" when the signage was unveiled.
Indiana players were in the locker room as the scene unfolded, but none of them gave the banner much thought upon entering the field.
"I just didn't really notice it," Indiana linebacker Isaiah Jones said. "It's cool to have that up there, but that's last year. We're trying to put another team together that's going to go out there and compete."

Ethan Pecko entered his fifth inning Saturday unscored upon but with a reliever warming behind him in the Houston Astros' bullpen. Three batters later, his outing ended. Tim Tawa cued an infield hit into an open right side. Pecko pounced on a Ryan Waldschmidt tapper before Lars Nootbaar lined a clean single.
Nootbaar occupied the leadoff spot in the Diamondbacks' lineup and was facing Pecko for a third time in the game. His single put the potential tying run on base, brought manager Joe Espada out to remove his starter and reinforced an issue within Houston's rotation with 19 games left in a postseason race.
Two of five starters the Astros are deploying - Cristian Javier and Pecko, the right-handed prospect - are under tighter reins, with Houston hesitant to have them face opposing lineups a third time. Javier hasn't faced more than 19 batters in any of his past four outings, one of which he pitched in bulk relief.
Having three starters who will work deeper - Hunter Brown, Peter Lambert and Hayden Wesneski - can mitigate that usage somewhat. But it puts added pressure on those starters to cover innings and protect the bullpen, and on the bullpen to shoulder a significant workload at least two out of five (or six) days.
How sustainable that is down the stretch, for a club with a three-game division lead and 19 games left in the regular season, is a question. The bullpen has been arguably the Astros' biggest strength, yet it's also at less than full capacity, even with expanded rosters offering an extra spot on the pitching staff.

Many parents eventually run into the same uncomfortable math.
The money you put aside for a child does the most work in the years when you have the least of it to spare. Time is the ****** et. Cash is the constraint.
A dollar deposited in a baby's first year outruns several dollars deposited in that child's teens. Almost ****** ody manages it, because the first year of a child's life is also the most expensive one you have had so far.
Workplace benefits were never really built to solve that problem. Your 401(k) match helps you. Your health plan keeps your family upright. Your flexible spending account gets raided by December.
Very little in a standard benefits package puts money into an account that belongs to your child, sits in an index fund, and does not get touched for 18 years.

Genie Bouchard is teaming up with 7UP for a new campaign tied to the brand's latest citrus shake-up. In an exclusive interview with The Blast, the former tennis star explains why the cheeky concept appealed to her and how its message connects with her own experience of doing things differently.
That connection runs especially deep for Bouchard, who says many of the social media choices she was once criticized for have since become standard for athletes.

Genie Bouchard is getting behind 7UP's playful push to give lime the spotlight after years of living in lemon's shadow.
The retired tennis star spoke to The Blast about what drew her to the brand's new campaign, which accompanies the launch of 7UP Lime Lemon. The reformulated soda puts lime ahead of lemon in its flavor profile and has inspired an entire tongue-in-cheek campaign built around the supposed influence of "Big Lemon."

Silver (SI=F) December futures opened at $67.63 per ounce on Friday, September 4, 2026, down 0.1% from Thursday's closing price. Silver prices were steady this morning, reaching $67.45 as of 6:59 a.m. ET.
Silver prices opened at their highest level this week ahead of the August jobs report, and following comments from a Fed governor who said he's willing to hold rates steady later this month.
Economists expect the U.S. added 55,000 jobs last month, a rebound from a decline in job growth in July. Data released earlier this week suggests the labor market remains in a holding pattern of minimal yet stable job growth.
Earlier this week, Fed Governor Chris Waller said he's open to holding rates steady if next week's inflation report shows price gains are easing. This certainly puts the spotlight squarely on today's jobs numbers and next week's inflation report.

The crypto market—including Bitcoin and altcoins like XRP, Ethereum, and BNB—is riding a bullish wave of momentum in the U.S. stock market, seemingly triggered by fresh comments from the Federal Reserve, and sending short sellers to goblintown.
Bitcoin punched back above $80,000 on Thursday, trading near $80,270 and up close to 3% over the past 24 hours. Ethereum is closing in on $2,500, up 2.2% today, while XRP is up a whopping 6% in the last 24 hours. The spike has accounted for at least $327 million in liquidated short positions in the last hour alone, and more than $415 million in the past 24 hours.
The catalyst appears to be comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who, in prepared remarks at a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker interview, said he'd be "inclined to support" holding the Fed's benchmark interest rate at its current level if upcoming inflation data keeps improving.
Traders took the hint. The odds of a rate hike at the Fed's September 15-16 meeting fell to 50.4%, down from 63.2% a day earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool, a market gauge that estimates the odds of Fed moves from futures prices. The 10-year Treasury yield, a benchmark for borrowing costs economy-wide that had touched its highest level since November 2023 a day earlier, dropped to around 4.73%.
It's a sharp reversal from a week ago. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole keynote had knocked Bitcoin down to $76,877 and pushed hike odds toward 56%. Thursday's bounce puts Bitcoin back at a level it's tested—and failed to hold—several times this year.

On August 26, HEICO Corporation (NYSE:HEI) delivered a third quarter that management itself struggled to summarize without repeating the word record. Net income jumped 33% to $235.4 million, net sales climbed 23% to $1.4 billion, and the company generated $345.3 million in cash from operations, a figure equal to nearly 150% of net income. For a business that has now compounded earnings for close to four decades, the bigger question is not whether HEICO can grow, but how long it can keep growing this fast.
The headline number is 14% organic growth across the company, but the more telling detail is where that growth showed up. The Electronic Technologies Group posted an all-time quarterly record, with net sales up 36% to $483.5 million and operating income up 55% to $125.6 million, as its operating margin expanded from 22.8% to 26%. The Flight Support Group grew net sales 18% to $947.8 million while its operating income rose 24%, outpacing revenue growth as the segment shifted toward higher-value products rather than volume alone. Co-CEO Victor Mendelson said some missile defense customers have asked for production increases as high as tenfold on specific programs, while industrial technology tied to AI and data center buildouts is now feeding demand inside the electronics segment too.
Management also pointed to the integration of Wencor, with Eric Mendelson calling the combination "an absolute home run for HEICO as well as for Wencor." On the balance sheet, HEICO issued $1.2 billion in senior unsecured notes to pay down its revolver and extended that facility's maturity to June 2031, with room to grow capacity to $3 billion. Net debt to EBITDA improved to 1.57 times. The company also raised its semiannual dividend 8% to $0.13 per share, its 96th consecutive payout since 1979, and closed acquisitions of Cook Defence Systems and CalRamic Technologies during the quarter.
The same demand surge fueling HEICO's growth is straining its supply chain from the other direction. Victor Mendelson warned that lead times for certain raw materials and subcomponents are stretching out and getting more expensive, driven in part by competing demand from the AI and data center markets. Eric Mendelson pointed to a narrower but familiar bottleneck in component repair, noting that a job with 99 parts finished still cannot ship while the company waits on the hundredth. Neither issue derailed this quarter's results, but both suggest the growth machine runs on inputs HEICO does not fully control.

The headline number is 14% organic growth across the company, but the more telling detail is where that growth showed up.

On social media it stung after heavily favored Rutgers football lost to UMass Thursday night in a result that puts coach Greg Schiano on the hot seat.
"Rutgers invented college football in 1869 and has spent the last 160 years regretting the decision," someone wrote on X.com
Here are five unbelievable things that are going to live on in infamy from the 37-21 Rutgers loss to Massachusetts:
Greg Schiano reacts to Rutgers' UMass loss: 'Never saw it coming'
1. A college football "buy game" (or guarantee game) refers to an FBS program paying a smaller school a guarantee check to travel for a game. The buyer usually wins the game but not always. Rutgers paid UMass $1.55 million, according to FBSchedules.

The Los Angeles Angels are entering a new era after longtime owner Arte Moreno agreed to sell the franchise, paving the way for an unexpected change to the organization after years of frustration on and off the field.
The incoming owner, Stan Kroenke, already has deep ties to Los Angeles sports and there's reason to believe he will be more aggressive about funding a contending roster.
"In a surprise development that puts an end to a tumultuous ownership tenure, longtime Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno agreed to sell the team to Stan Kroenke, who presides over the NFL's Los Angeles Rams," ESPN's Alden Gonzalez reported. "The Angels were sold for a valuation of $4 billion, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney, beating the previous MLB record for a sale of $3.9 billion set by the (San Diego) Padres' new owner earlier this year."
While the sale represents a major development for the franchise, the Angels continue to make immediate roster decisions as they attempt to navigate the remainder of the season. And the first official transaction following the momentous sale news saw a long-time MLB pitcher exercise his right to terminate his contract with the team.

Chevron will invest more than $7 billion in Venezuela over the next five years and more than double its oil production in the country to about 600,000 barrels per day, Reuters reported Wednesday.
The investment follows new agreements with Venezuela that give Chevron improved fiscal, commercial and legal terms and additional acreage in the Orinoco Belt. Chevron said its three Venezuelan joint ventures will invest the money through 2031, with total production costs remaining below $20 per barrel.
Chevron currently produces about 290,000 bpd in Venezuela, all of which is exported to the United States, according to Reuters. Venezuela is producing about 1.1 million to 1.2 million bpd, down from more than 3 million bpd in the late 1990s.
The new acreage includes the Carabobo-1 and Carabobo-2-South-A areas in the Orinoco Belt, ******* igned to Petroindependencia, the joint venture in which Chevron holds a 49% interest. Chevron also increased its Petroindependencia stake to 49% in April and received rights to develop the Ayacucho 8 area next to its Petropiar venture. Its three Venezuelan joint ventures have increased production by 15% so far this year.
Wednesday's announcement puts a dollar figure and production target on the Chevron agreements that were nearing completion earlier this week. Those agreements were previously described only as being of "significant size," with Chevron seeking additional Orinoco Belt acreage.

Rutgers football paid $1.55 million to lose to UMass, 37-21, on Sept. 3, snapping the Minutemen's 16-game losing streak. But that number presumably didn't include pyrotechnics.
The Scarlet Knights hosted the saddest fireworks show in the world after the loss at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, putting a droopy exclamation point on an 0-1 start to Greg Schiano's seventh season.
REQUIRED READING: UMass snaps longest college football losing streak with rout of Rutgers
It's the kind of loss that immediately puts a coach on the hot seat, and Rutgers will now have to reconcile what this means for the nation's oldest program. While the team has hardly been even middle-of-the-road in the college landscape since Schiano's first stint in 2001-2011, losing a buy game to a team that hadn't won a game since 2024 is program-shakingly bad.
The loss to UMass is arguably as bad or worse as losing to some FCS programs. Since joining the FBS in 2012, the Minutemen have been brutally bad, amassing a 26-134 record with six seasons with 11 losses or more.

Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) has raised its dividend for 64 consecutive years and yields about 2.4% at a share price near $90. I think it belongs in most income portfolios, though not for the reason most people ******* ume.
In February, Coca-Cola raised its quarterly payout from $0.51 per share to $0.53, bringing the annual dividend to $2.12 per share from $2.04. That was a 3.9% increase and the 64th straight year of growth, a streak that has survived recessions, inflation spikes, and repeated shifts in what people drink. This streak puts Coca-Cola on the elite list of Dividend Kings, companies that have grown their dividends for at least 50 consecutive years.
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 »
Here is the honest part: A 2.4% yield doesn't sound like income for life. Five-year average dividend growth runs near 4.5%, and the payout ratio sits at 63.7%. The dividend alone will not drive strong near-term returns. What makes the case is what sits behind the payment.
Second-quarter net revenue rose 7% to $13.38 billion. Comparable earnings per share (EPS) grew 11% to $0.97 against a $0.93 estimate, and reported EPS jumped 16% to $1.03. Global unit case volume increased 5%, with every single reporting segment posting volume growth.

Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter understands the multifaceted dynamics involved in putting together the perfect football team. More impressively, Minter has frequently given accolades to his colleagues in press conferences, a show of his selfless nature and strong belief in interdependence.
As a former defensive coordinator, Minter is well aware that his eyes can't be everywhere on every play. This is why he deployed Anthony Weaver to designate the front seven of his defense in his current role. Minter will call the defensive plays, offensive coordinator DeClan Doyle will call the offensive plays, and quarterback Lamar Jackson will have the power to veto via audible. Minter and his staff seem to have honed in on a recurring design. Nickel and 3-4 personnel groups will appear on defense, while 11-, 12-, and 13-personnel groups will be seen heavily on offense.
Furthermore, the Ravens have a clearly defined infrastructure. This willingness to commit to both an offensive and defensive identity makes Minter's leadership role even easier. In 2026, Minter won't need a bunch of heavy, jargon- and aura-based speeches. Instead, he's focused on the product he puts on the field and not upholding some vain persona.
Ultimately, Minter trusts his staff, and his deferential disposition has allowed the team to foster a new identity. From media clips provided by the team administration to the preseason execution seen on broadcast, it's very clear that the 2026 Ravens will rely heavily on collaboration and cohesiveness to right their wrongs from a season ago.

Just before the transfer window closed, Bayern Munich academy players Luis Schäfer and Nana Gibson Adu moved on to pastures anew.
Bayern's official website confirmed Schäfer's departure. The center back came off of a fairly good 2025/26 season, in which he captained the U-19s and subsequently moved up to the U-23s. Filip Pavic's rising star, however, saw him relegated to a distant bench option for the Bavarians' second team and, after starting in the first match of the season, he has not gotten a minute in the 4 games since. One can presume he left for partner club SpVgg Unterhaching to get more game time, which puts an end to his 9 years at the FC Bayern Campus. Good luck in your future endeavors, Schäfer!
Meanwhile, Nana Gibson Adu's time at Bayern was much shorter. In fact, the striker came from Unterhaching at the start of their partnership with Bayern. He was seen as a huge talent and had already played in the 3. Liga at the tender age of 16. Unfortunately, Gibson Adu committed several disciplinary infractions and never really developed at Bayern. In 2025, a loan to Austrian club SCR Altach went through on deadline day but he had to return just two weeks later after he was denied a playing permit by UEFA. Bayern wanted nothing more to do with him, though, and banished him out on loan back to Unterhaching as soon as November that same year.
Now, iMiaSanMia_GER captures the news that he has permanently left Munich to go to fourth division side Greifswalder FC for a two year deal with an option for another year. Good luck, Gibson Adu.

The wait for the new team format is finally over. The WTGL has officially locked in a start date and a major media rights deal that puts the league on national television. This is a concrete plan to get women's golf in front of millions of viewers, not just another press release. Broadcast rights for the competition have been locked in by TMRW Sports via multi-year agreements with ESPN and Scripps Sports/ION, signaling genuine confidence in the product. Although the complete schedule is still confidential, the league is scheduled to debut on Sunday, Nov. 8. This date aligns with the final round of the LPGA's TOTO ****** an Classic, providing the new league with a high-profile opening night.
Matches and shoulder programming will appear on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2. On ION, the league joins a strong lineup of women's sports including the WNBA, NWSL, and PWHL. This distribution reaches 128 million homes nationally. It's a massive step up from streaming-only launches. The deal mirrors the success of the men's TGL, which ESPN has called home since its inaugural 2024-25 season. The infrastructure is ready. The players are set. Now the cameras just need to roll.
According to reports, the announcement came just two days after WTGL revealed the official rosters for the league's five teams. November will mark the league's start at the SoFi Center located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The regular season runs through November and December with a round-robin format. The postseason features single-elimination semifinals and a best-of-three finals. This structure creates a clear path to a champion, forcing teams to think about how they win a series rather than just a single tournament.
The broadcast partners are already on board. "We are genuinely excited to be the home for WTGL as it launches its inaugural season this fall," said Rosalyn Durant, executive vice president, programming and acquisitions, in a release. She added that bringing the league to fans continues a commitment to growing women's sports and supports the belief in the momentum of women's golf. While production details, the on-air talent list, and the full schedule are set for later announcement, the platform is ready.
The roster depth is significant. An inaugural season field of 25 players has been established by the league, comprising individuals with 112 LPGA Tour victories and 15 major championships. However, the real story is the format. Just three players from every five-player roster are eligible to compete in a match. Before the shot clock starts or the Hammer comes into play, a coach must decide who plays and which two sit. This lineup card determines whether team golf gains substance or merely resembles individual golfers wearing matching shirts.

On August 10, Chemours (NYSE:CC) launched two new refrigerants, Opteon ZE and Opteon 515B, built specifically for stationary chillers that cool data centers, commercial buildings, and other facilities that cannot afford downtime. The announcement lands as data center operators everywhere are scrambling to keep pace with the heat that AI workloads generate, and Chemours is betting its chemistry can be part of the answer.
Chemours designed these products around a specific problem: AI infrastructure is pushing heat loads and uptime requirements past what older cooling systems were built for. Joseph Martinko, President of Thermal & Specialized Solutions at Chemours, said the company is expanding the choices available to chiller manufacturers and operators as they build and maintain the systems powering data centers and other mission-critical environments. That framing matters because it puts Chemours squarely inside the AI infrastructure buildout rather than on its periphery, and the company describes this as part of a broader push into higher-value, high-growth cooling applications.
The two products are designed to work together rather than compete for the same customer. Opteon ZE, the R-1234ze(E) formulation, is an HFO-based refrigerant with a GWP of approximately 1 and zero ozone depletion potential, aimed at air- and water-cooled chillers, commercial air conditioning, heat pumps, and data center cooling specifically. It also offers high energy efficiency and works with commonly used POE lubricants, which matters for equipment makers who do not want to redesign their systems from scratch.
Opteon 515B is a blend of roughly 91.1% R-1234ze(E) and 8.9% R-227ea, with a GWP near 293, pitched at operators running conventional chillers who want an easier path away from higher-GWP refrigerants without a full system overhaul. Having both a near-zero-GWP option and a lower-friction transitional option lets Chemours sell into new builds and legacy fleets at the same time.
The launch is not without caveats. Opteon ZE carries an ASHRAE A2L classification, meaning it is mildly flammable, while Opteon 515B carries the non-flammable A1 rating. That difference alone could steer certain customers toward one product over the other depending on local codes and installation requirements.

Bitcoin has bounced back in the past couple of weeks. Since Aug. 19, the world's most valuable digital ******* et has seen its price surge 21% (as of Sept. 1). The bulls have been waiting for some positive momentum, as Bitcoin was trading below $70,000 for about two and a half months.
U.S.-based investors that want exposure to the top cryptocurrency in an accessible, convenient, and regulatory-compliant way can pick between the many different spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). But how do you choose just one from this long list?
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 »
I believe the iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ: IBIT) is the best choice. Here's why.
The first reason this is the leading option is that it's by far the largest spot Bitcoin ETF out there. As of Sept. 1, the iShares Bitcoin Trust had $61.4 billion in net ******* ets. This huge sum puts it significantly ahead of the next biggest ETF, which is the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, which has less than 25% of the net ******* ets compared to its rival. The market is clearly voting, as indicated by where it's directing its capital, that the iShares Bitcoin Trust is the best Bitcoin ETF.

The monster tackle, the unstoppable dash, the curler into the corner: at FC Bayern there are and have been many players with unique abilities, who give us unforgettable moments. Such as Samuel Kuffour, who particularly shone against international stars. The Ghanaian defender made 277 competitive appearances for the German record champions from 1993 to 2005 and won 17 trophies with the club. Today, 3 September, he celebrates his 50th birthday – we wish him all the best.
Effenberg's strength of nerve to make it 1-1, Kahn's epic saves in the penalty shootout – those scenes from our Champions League triumph against Valencia will be remembered forever by many fans. Samuel Kuffour's contribution to the fourth Champions League ***** le might be less prominent. The Ghanaian centre-back didn't provide an iconic moment at the San Siro on 23 May 2001, but his whole performance over the 120 minutes in the Bayern back three is legendary. Like in all the previous knockout matches, he's on the pitch the whole time and intercepts one attack after the other. He closes the opponents down, throws himself into tackles and aerial duels and cuts out countless ***** . Having nullified Manchester United's Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole in the quarter-finals, and Raúl and Guti of Real Madrid in the semis, now it's John Carew's turn. The burly, 1.96-metre number nine iss barely in the game in the final. For someone of his relatively modest height of 1.78 metres, "Sammy" looks shoulders above. How does he manage to hold his own so well against the stars of his day? What characterises his defending?
Kuffour never shirks a tackle. He seeks them out, defends proactively on the front foot and puts his body on the line in a way that's rarely been seen in FCB history. Even in training, he was no different. "I hated training against him," reveals Giovane Élber, who played with him at Bayern from 1997 to 2003. Of course, this style of play brings with it a certain risk – he holds the record for the most sending-offs in an FCB shirt (eight). But fans and bosses are happy to forgive him for that. "When someone clatters into players like Sammy, then he can also make mistakes," says Uli Hoeneß. Especially since he always manages to focus in the big games.
A key component of Kuffour's game is his impressive athleticism. He has tremendous acceleration and agility, which allow him to hold his own even against technically superior players. Added to this is his exceptional jumping ability, thanks to which he easily holds his own in the air against opponents like Carew. Unsurprisingly, this also allows him to pose a constant goalscoring threat in attack, especially at set pieces. Six of his ten goals for Bayern were scored with his head. However, this does not apply to his most important goal – the winning goal in the Intercontinental Cup final against Boca Juniors in the 109th minute of extra time in November 2001. He scores that one with his right foot amid a scramble in the penalty area.
