Melania Trump made a case for wardrobe repetition by bringing back her slit-front Maison Ullens skirt for her latest outing. The former model accompanied her husband, President Donald Trump, to cast their ballots during early voting at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections on October 24.
Melania looks simply stunning today

Melania Trump's outfit for the outing struck a delicate balance between approachable civic duty attire and high-end designer sophistication. She wore a high-waisted, camel-beige pencil skirt crafted by Belgian luxury fashion house Maison Ullens. She originally sported it during a trip to Brussels, Belgium, in May 2017.
The archival piece is made from soft leather tailored into geometric, paneled segments. Fine tonal contrast stitching outlined each panel, creating a grid-like structural detailing across the front and hip seams. The skirt featured a mid-length hem falling just below the knees. Moreover, a clean vertical slit at the center-front, offered ease of movement while adding a subtle modern edge to the traditional pencil silhouette.

The First Lady paired the skirt with a relaxed light-blue ****** on-down shirt. She wore the cotton poplin shirt with an unbuttoned, wide-spread collar and rolled-up three-quarter sleeves. It gave her upper half an effortless feel. The light blue hue provided a flattering contrast against the warm beige tone of the skirt. Tucking the shirt into her skirt's waistband highlighted her natural waist.
Trump completed her look with classic Christian Louboutin Patent Pigalle 120 Pumps in Nude. The glossy patent leather shoes featured the brand's signature red soles, pointed toes and a 120 mm stiletto heel. They not only elongated her frame but also paired well with the skirt.

DANA POINT, California – Natalie Driessen drove down Beach Road on a mission, past neighbors whose houses fell into the sea and others now scrambling to prevent their property from collapsing next.
She had a video from March that she wanted everyone to see. When she spotted an Orange County supervisor outside what was left of one mangled kitchen and living room, Driessen pulled out her phone to play the clip of the California Coastal Commission — the powerful state agency tasked with preserving beaches — discussing a home in her gated community.
California beaches are considered public beyond a certain high tide line, the commissioners warned, and that waterline was rising. “I wonder,” one of the commissioners said, “how many years before I’m allowed to just pull up a chair — sit in their, you know, front deck porch and watch TV because it’s public land. … I don’t think we’re that far away from this, right?”
Storms and high tides — fueled by a near record-breaking El Niño — have battered the California coast in recent weeks, destroying homes and eroding beaches. The fallout has supercharged years-long tensions between the owners of coveted oceanfront property and the authorities they say aren’t doing enough to protect them.
The damage has intensified a bigger debate playing out around the coast: What can or should be done to save private property in the most vulnerable communities?

FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE), through its Potomac Edison subsidiary, proposed a $52.8 million Maryland distribution-rate adjustment to support investment in aging infrastructure, grid modernization and electric-system reliability. If approved, the request would increase the average residential customer's monthly bill by approximately 5.3%.
Potomac Edison said its electric rates were 25% below the average of its in-state peers as of June 1. The utility expects its residential rates to remain the lowest among Maryland's investor-owned electric utilities even after the proposed adjustment.
The proposed reliability program includes Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition technology, replacement of substation reclosers, new circuit ties and automation, overhead-conductor upgrades, aging underground-cable replacement and removal of high-risk trees near power lines. The Maryland Public Service Commission must review and approve the request before any adjustment can take effect.
The proposal connects the requested revenue to specific reliability investments. SCADA technology can give operators greater visibility into system conditions, while reclosers, circuit ties, and automation can isolate problems and reroute electricity. These capabilities can reduce the number of customers affected by outages and shorten restoration times.
Reconductoring, underground-cable replacement and vegetation management address physical causes of service interruptions. The investments could also improve resilience during severe weather, potentially lowering emergency-response costs and reducing the disruption experienced by customers.

The biggest oil companies in the United States are playing hardball in unionized labor negotiations in a bid to get more concessions from workers' unions in the new contracts.
Over the past few years, some of the top U.S. refining companies have resorted to lockouts to ensure most of the company management's proposals in new labor contracts are accepted.
The trend began earlier this decade with Exxon locking out in 2021 as many as 650 workers out of the Beaumont refinery for 10 months. This was the longest labor dispute at a U.S. refinery in four decades.
Five years later, BP and Marathon are currently in a similar position, locking out workers at their Whiting, Indiana, and Martinez, California, refineries, respectively, amid labor disputes over union contracts.
The refineries continue to operate with contractors, supervisors, and replacement workers. The continued operations show that Big Oil is not as afraid as it used to be to use replacement staff while seeking concessions from the unions.

Ask a Bayern Munich executive or management figure about French mega-star Michael Olise and he will tell you that the winger is not for sale.
Chief executive officer Jan-Christian Dreesen, president Herbert Hainer, board member for sport Max Eberl, sporting director Christoph Freund, and supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß will all give you the same story. One thing that none of them can be completely certain of, however, is the future.
As for that, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly trying to make headway. In this report, the duo is allegedly working through intermediaries to see if a deal can get done at some point:
Following his outstanding performances for FC Bayern Munich and the French national team at the 2026 World Cup, Michael Olise remains on the wish lists of top European clubs. The 24-year-old right winger is one of the key players in Bayern's attack. His contract with the German record champions runs until June 30, 2029. With his strong start to the 2026/27 season, Olise has further cemented his status as a highly sought-after transfer target.
Olise's rapid development and consistently strong performances have attracted the attention of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in particular. According to information from fussball-news.de, both European powerhouses are closely monitoring his progress and are considering high-caliber reinforcements for the right wing and attacking positions.

Volkswagen just told investors it will cut 50,000 more jobs, and the market cheered.
Shares of Europe's largest automaker jumped after the announcement, a reaction that tells you a lot about what Wall Street wants from legacy car companies right now.
For investors, a rising stock and a shrinking workforce point in the same direction, and that is worth understanding.
Volkswagen's Frankfurt-listed shares rose more than 8% on Thursday, September 3, after its supervisory board approved the plan.
When a company cuts tens of thousands of jobs, its fixed costs fall fast, and investors read lower costs as higher future profit.

While standing in a private parking lot in Sussex, Wisconsin, on May 4, 2025, Napoleon Jones witnessed a traffic stop made by an out-of-county police officer. "It just didn't sit right with me," Jones told TMJ4 News, a local NBC News affiliate. "So I did what I legally could do, and I walked over and recorded it."
Jones, a United States Navy veteran, was well within his rights to record the police stop. But even though he recorded from a safe distance without interfering, that didn't stop the Waukesha County Sheriff's deputy, Brandon Shayhorn, from later unlawfully stopping and arresting Jones.
After Shayhorn completed the traffic stop, Jones returned to his vehicle. But before Jones could exit the parking lot, Shayhorn turned on his lights and initiated a second stop, claiming Jones' temporary license plate, displayed in the rearview window, was unreadable, reports TMJ4 News. Shayhorn demanded to see Jones' driver's license, but Jones refused, arguing that he'd been unlawfully pulled over on private property. Video clips of the encounter show the deputy opening Jones' door and pulling him from his vehicle.
Jones was subsequently arrested "for resisting and obstructing," according to a federal lawsuit he filed against the arresting officers and police department. But after being held in custody for five hours, he was released with no citations or criminal charges. An internal post-arrest memorandum reviewed by Reason revealed that Shayhorn's supervisor informed him shortly after the arrest that he'd, in fact, illegally stopped Jones, and he therefore could not compel Jones to produce his identification.
The next day, Jones filed a citizen's complaint against Shayhorn for the illegal stop and said he believed Shayhorn retaliated against him for exercising his First Amendment right to record. Jones then sought legal counsel to pursue claims against the arresting officers and the police department for his unlawful stop, detention, and arrest.

LONDON — Having failed to secure a majority stake in Hugo Boss this summer, Mike Ashley is returning with another strategy to wrest control of the brand, and eject Stephan Sturm as chairman of the supervisory board.
Ashley's Frasers Group said in a stock market filing Tuesday that its "current intention" is to further increase its interest in Hugo Boss, including through the potential acquisition of additional shares.

Rumer Willis, eldest daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, is asking the court to place some limitations on her ex Derek Richard Thomas' visits with their daughter Louetta.
The House Bunny actress is pushing back against a court ruling that expanded the scope of Thomas' visitation rights with their daughter.
Willis filed an emergency request seeking to keep her ex's visits with daughter Louetta supervised. The dispute stemmed from when the court-assigned nanny for Louetta had to stop working and Thomas allegedly refused to accept a replacement. Willis alleged that Thomas at one point would not allow a court-ordered supervisor into his home.
The emergency request came after the court granted Willis primary physical custody of their daughter back in June. The ruling also planned for Thomas' monitored visits to transition to overnight unmonitored visits this month.
Willis has demanded the postponement of the unsupervised visits. According to court documents obtained by E! News, Willis has accused her ex of repeatedly violating court orders and making "unsafe decisions" involving Louetta. She also noted that Thomas had completed only five and a half supervised visits with his daughter. According to her, the visitations, which began on June 20, could not be completed due to disputes over court-assigned nannies.

There was no shortage of drama during Térence Atmane and Jaume Munar's tense first-round battle at the 2026 US Open. The closely contested match saw Munar venting his frustrations before Atmane was left incredulous after being denied treatment by the physiotherapist and supervisor despite his struggles.
Atmane made a strong start to his clash against Munar, clinching the first two sets to take a 7-6(5), 6-3 lead and move just one set away from victory. However, the Frenchman began to struggle in the third set, with his movement compromised as he appeared to be dealing with severe cramps.
While serving at 1-0, 40-40 in the third set, Atmane called for the physiotherapist and received treatment on his right leg. He went on to lose the set after resorting to serving with his right hand due to cramping in his dominant hand. The Frenchman then took a bathroom break before the fourth set.
The drama escalated in the fourth set when Munar halted play in the first game and asked the chair umpire to call the supervisor. The Spaniard voiced his frustration over Atmane's constant conversations with his coach and the delay between his serves, arguing that the umpire should issue time violations.
"Call the supervisor. Three times it happened. It's point, game over, 1-0, we switch and we play. I don't care about what's happening. It's rules. They're talking. It happened two times this game. I just asked you the question because of that," Munar said.

Bayern Munich have extended the contracts of board member for sport Max Eberl and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen.
Both have signed new deals running until 2029, the German champions confirmed on Tuesday evening.
"Continuity provides direction; stability brings strength: we need both to ensure FC Bayern continues to develop consistently at the very highest level," said chairman of the supervisory board Herbert Hainer.
"Especially in the dynamic competitive environment in which a top international club must forge its own path, consistency stands for a clear conviction. With Jan-Christian Dreesen, Max Eberl and Rouven Kasper, our board is ideally positioned to drive FC Bayern forward both in sporting and commercial terms and to maintain its leading position in Europe."
Dreesen joined Bayern as chief financial officer in 2013 before taking over as CEO 10 years later. He said:

Bayern Munich supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß is facing an unusual legal dispute away from the football pitch.
Per Tz (as captured by iMiaSanMia), the Bayern Munich honorary president has reportedly been sued by a neighbor over two trees allegedly planted on his property in Bad Wiessee. The neighbor, whose property borders Hoeneß's land to the south, claims the trees were planted in an area where planting is prohibited.
Not shockingly, Hoeneß disputes that interpretation, maintaining that the area in question does not fall within the restricted zone. The case is scheduled to be heard at the Munich II Regional Court next Thursday, with the dispute ultimately coming down to whether the two trees were planted in an area where such planting is permitted.
Hoeneß has declined to comment ahead of the hearing.
It is certainly an unusual situation for one of Bayern Munich's most influential figures, who has spent decades dealing with much bigger issues surrounding the club and German football. You have to imagine that Hoeneß might have (maybe!) had a little chuckle about the dispute.

Frasers did not win Hugo Boss outright. But it now owns enough of the company to make the board listen. The hostile bid may have faded, but Mike Ashley's luxury push is still very much alive.
Frasers Group has raised its stake in Hugo Boss to almost 48%, tightening its grip on the German fashion house after a rejected takeover offer.
The U.K. retailer, controlled by Mike Ashley, launched a voluntary €38-per-share cash offer in June for the Hugo Boss shares it did not already own. At the time, Frasers held about 26.1% of the company.
The offer valued the remaining shares at roughly €2 billion, or about €2.7 billion (about $3.7 billion) for the whole company, but Hugo Boss's management and supervisory boards urged shareholders to reject it, calling the bid financially inadequate.

The British retailer, which already held a 26% interest in Hugo Boss, announced on 10 June 2026 the launch of a voluntary offer to acquire all remaining ordinary shares not directly held by the group.
The offered price of €38.00 per share would value the proposed transaction at around €1.98bn ($2.65bn).
However, Hugo Boss's management and supervisory boards urged shareholders to reject the offer, calling it financially "inadequate".

A female journalist who previously worked under CBS News' chief correspondent Matt Gutman is accusing him of making things uncomfortable at work with his "sexualized" remarks, according to a lawsuit filed against ABC News and obtained by People and Variety.
Samira Said, who worked as a field producer at ABC News' Los Angeles bureau from 2021 to 2025, filed the complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday. In the suit, she alleges wrongful termination by ABC after being denied medical leave and accommodations for her medical conditions on several occasions.

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl is close to extending his contract at the club, according to Sport Bild. The 52-year-old was informed of the news during the club's Asia tour. However, the supervisory board is yet to reach a final decision on the matter. The next meeting of the board is scheduled for 25 August. Honorary president and supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß recently put the likelihood of Eberl's contract extension at "100 percent."Hoeneß also praised Eberl for "a perfect transfer period." This summer, Bayern have signed German full-back Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt and Moroccan attacker Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven. Eberl's contract expires in the summer of 2027, the same as that of CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, who is also expected to stay with the record German Champions. GGFN | Brook Genene

South Koreans sent $367 million more in stablecoins out of the country than they brought back in June. It was the 18th month in a row that money left.
The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) handed those numbers to lawmaker Lee Jong-wook. The streak started in January 2025. Traders are chasing something they cannot get at home.
Five exchanges handle almost all local crypto trading. They are Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax.
In June, they sent roughly $1.8 billion in stablecoins to foreign platforms. About $1.44 billion came back. The gap was $367 million.
Local media reported that across the whole second quarter, close to $1.1 billion left.

Max Eberl has made it clear that Uli Hoeneß's recent vote of confidence meant a great deal to him.
After Hoeneß publicly declared he was "100%" behind Bayern Munich's sporting director, Eberl admitted the backing was encouraging during a period when his future has been the subject of speculation.
"I was very pleased with Uli's words on Thursday, I make no secret of that. One prefers to hear praise rather than criticism. I'm trying to do the job for Bayern Munich and convince the people who make the decisions that I'm not a bad choice. In the end, the supervisory board will decide. If they want me to continue, then I'm ready to talk," Eberl told Bild (as captured by iMiaSanMia).
It is a measured response from Eberl, who acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his position while emphasizing that his focus remains on doing what is best for Bayern Munich. Rather than ***** uming his future is secure, he pointed out that the final decision rests with the club's supervisory board.
Hoeneß's public endorsement was the strongest backing Eberl has received in recent weeks, but it does not guarantee anything. For now, Eberl appears content to let his work speak for itself and wait for the club's leadership to decide whether he will continue leading Bayern Munich's sporting project beyond this season.

The job market has been a tough sell for many Gen Z graduates, with tariffs, economic uncertainty, and artificial intelligence reshaping hiring plans across corporate America.
But according to Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang, the next wave of six-figure opportunities won't be found in a Wall Street cubicle or Silicon Valley Slack channel. Instead, high-paying careers will partially come by picking up a wrench—literally.
As tech giants race to build sprawling data centers—totaling $7 trillion in global capital outlays by the end of the decade—Huang believes the world is on the cusp of what he calls the "largest infrastructure build-out in human history," which will create "a lot of jobs."
"It's wonderful that the jobs are related to tradecraft, and we're going to have plumbers and electricians and construction and steelworkers," he said in conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January.
The hands-on skills needed to construct what he described as chip, computer, and AI factories are already facing shortages—even though many roles pay over $100,000 without requiring a college degree. One McKinsey report estimated that between 2023 and 2030, there will be a need for an additional 130,000 trained electricians—as well as 240,000 construction laborers and 150,000 construction supervisors—in the U.S. alone.

The Cleveland Browns are back, with the official start of training camp on Wednesday as the team prepares for their first preseason game in a couple of weeks. The first day saw Grant Delpit sign a three-year extension with the team, as well as veteran pass rusher and former Brown Jadeveon Clowney visiting with the team, though they didn't agree to any deal yet.
The Browns announced ahead of Thursday's practice that the team's top two groundskeepers would be retiring before the start of this season. Chris Powell, the team's Head Groundskeeper, has been with the team for 29 seasons, including the last 27 seasons in his position as head groundskeeper.
Scott Springer, the team's Grounds Supervisor, is also retiring after spending 27 seasons working closely with Chris Powell, maintaining both practice fields and the stadium. Chris Powell released this statement after the announcement.
"For me, 27 seasons with the new Browns, to be able to do what we do and still want to come in and enjoy the company, enjoy the task at hand — it's one of these things where we don't want anything to pop up, but it's the challenge that keeps us going. We're not just going out and mowing the grass every day. We approach anything that's not correct and take it as a challenge."

While much of the attention surrounding Bayern Munich’s front office has centered on player transfers and squad planning, another important piece of the club’s future could soon be addressed behind the scenes.
According to a report from Sport Bild (as captured by iMiaSanMia), sporting director Christoph Freund is in an excellent position to earn a contract extension. Although his current deal runs through 2027, decisions regarding his future will be made by Bayern Munich’s executive board — Jan-Christian Dreesen, Max Eberl, and Rouven Kasper — rather than the club’s supervisory board. That confidence appears to be well deserved:
Christoph Freund’s contract also expires in 2027. His future is not decided by the supervisory board, but by the executive board (Dreesen, Eberl & Rouven Kasper). Freund has extremely good prospects of a new contract. His work with the first team and the Campus, where he has been given more responsibility, is highly valued at the club.
Since arriving at Bayern Munich, Freund has become an increasingly important figure within the club’s sporting structure. While much of his work has focused on supporting the first team alongside Eberl, his responsibilities have expanded beyond the senior squad. His involvement with Bayern’s Campus and youth development system has reportedly been particularly well received, reflecting the club’s continued emphasis on building a sustainable pipeline of talent.
That dual role is significant. Bayern Munich has long prided itself on balancing immediate success with long-term planning, and having executives who can oversee both first-team recruitment and player development is critical to achieving that balance. Freund’s growing influence suggests the club sees him as an important part of that vision.

NEW YORK, July 17 (Reuters) - A New York state judge dismissed a lawsuit by a former JPMorgan Chase banker who in graphic terms said his former supervisor coerced him into sex and demanded his submissiveness, though the lawsuit is expected to be refiled in federal court.
Chirayu Rana, the former banker, will pay some legal fees of JPMorgan and his onetime colleague Lorna Hajdini as a condition of the dismissal, Justice Dakota Ramseur wrote on Thursday.
The dismissal, which Rana had requested, does not affect Hajdini's defamation countersuit against him. Her lawsuit remains in the state court in Manhattan.
Rana, who was a vice president in leveraged finance, accused Hajdini of using her seniority to coerce him into non-consensual ****** ual activity over several months.
The complaint said Hajdini used racially derogatory language to threaten Rana, who is of Asian descent. It also said she raped and drugged him, claimed she "owned" him, and threatened to sabotage his career if he didn't fulfill her ****** ual demands.

July 2 (Reuters) - Blackstone's QTS said on Thursday it had terminated its planned Digital Gateway data center project in Virginia and withdrawn the ****** ociated filings after years of planning and regulatory review.
The data center operator has faced years of local opposition and litigation over the project, despite it being approved by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.
Demand for AI and cloud computing has fueled a boom in data center construction across Virginia, home to the world's largest concentration of such facilities.
However, the industry's rapid expansion has drawn increasing scrutiny from local communities and policymakers over its impact on electricity demand, land and water use, and the environment.
QTS said Virginia remains a major part of its business, citing investments in Northern Virginia and the Richmond region, including $5 billion in Central Virginia.
