Liverpool to submit new offer for star 'very keen' to join
Time is running out in the transfer window and Liverpool are still in the race to complete multiple deals. It's been a long summer, and the next two weeks are going to be even crazier than anything that has happened in the lead up to this. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Liverpool are far from being done in the transfer market. Richard Hughes wanted to rebuild Arne Slot's side this summer and the final pieces in the jigsaw are still yet to be secured. The first of those jigsaw pieces is Alexander Isak. He's been Liverpool's dream target for a long time and next week we should find a resolution to the saga that has been going on for the longest time. Liverpool may add another winger to the equation as well. Although it remains to be seen whether with such little time left they can find the right target. But the other key piece of the puzzle is Marc Guehi. 🔴 Like Isak, the Crystal Palace captain has long been on Liverpool's radar. In fact, the Reds have wanted to sign him since the beginning of the summer. Guehi has one year left on his contract and it's clear that he doesn't want to extend. He wants to leave the club. Whether it's in the next two weeks or next summer, the end result will be the same. So, it's in Palace's interest to make sure that he goes this summer. At least this way they won't lose him for nothing but they can actually get compensated for making Guehi into the player he is today. Liverpool have been working on a deal to do exactly that. They haven't yet succeeded but it looks like they are going to make another push for the Crystal Palace star.

UiPath (PATH) Launches Generative Extractions to Automate Complex Document Processing
UiPath Inc. (NYSE:PATH) is one of the UiPath Inc. (NYSE:PATH) is one of the best midcap AI stocks to buy right now. On August 1, 2025, UiPath announced the general availability of its new Generative Extractions capability for the Intelligent Document Processing (IXP) platform. The release enables users to automate the processing of unstructured and complex documents using generative AI. This includes parsing multi-table layouts, freeform text, embedded graphics, and other non-standard formats that traditional document automation tools often fail to handle effectively. The feature is now live in the U.S. and Europe, with public previews rolled out to customers in Canada, Australia, and Japan. This expansion marks a major step forward in UiPath's strategy to integrate large language model capabilities across its platform. By bringing generative document understanding to production environments, the company is positioning its platform not just for routine automation, but for high-complexity, high-volume enterprise workflows. With many global organizations still struggling to extract structured insights from PDFs, scans, and multi-modal documents, this feature directly addresses one of the most persistent gaps in automation. UiPath is a New York-based enterprise automation software company known for its robotic process automation (RPA) platform. UiPath is actively transitioning toward agentic automation, mixing deterministic RPA workflows with generative AI and AI agents. They've introduced tools like Agent Builder and launched the UiPath Platform for Agentic Automation, which orchestrates AI agents, robots, and humans into a unified intelligent system. While we acknowledge the potential of PATH as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Harford County Walmart hosts back-to-school supply drive for local families and schools
The Walmart Supercenter in Fallston, Maryland, held its community back-to-school supply drive on Sunday afternoon to support local schools and their families. With schools getting close to starting, buying school supplies and new clothes can get pricy. According to the National Retail Federation, while consumers are getting a head start on shopping, most (84%) still have a lot more to purchase. Retail experts say the top reasons for this are that a lot of consumers are still waiting for the best deals, do not yet know what items are needed, or are planning to spread out their budgets. "It's very important to make sure the kids get the things that they need, because I know there are some parents that aren't able to supply for their children," said customer Karla Burke. Staff from the Fallston Walmart, its Vision Center, and Pharmacy discussed services for back-to-school and packed a van full of supplies for local classrooms. "It is very, very, very rewarding to see all your hard work go right back into the community you work for," said Linda Degori, a coach and GM at Walmart. Diana Strait, a team leader at Walmart, said the Fallston store has had its lowest back-to-school prices in years, and they wanted to give back to their community by hosting the supply drive. "Crayons, $5 book bags. There's a lot to offer here," Strait said. Karla Burke and Kaylin Jones grabbed a few extra items at the school drive for the school year and their church. "Mechanical pencils, yeah," said Kaylin Jones. "Pencils, pens, you know, books, yeah, a binder." Zach Colgan and Amanda Colgan -- a school counselor and librarian in Dundalk -- said it's also important for teachers and staff to be prepared for the first day of school. "We want to hit the ground running as soon as we can," Amanda Colgan said. Customers, including the Colgans, shopped for deals, but also donated school supplies for students. "So, just having those things and knowing that you're prepared just makes you in that safe space to learn," said Zach Colgan.
