As the United States assembles its greatest military firepower in decades in the Middle East, Iranians are warily awaiting the next round of talks with the US in Geneva this week – negotiations that many see as a last chance for their ruling theocracy to strike a deal with US President Donald Trump.

In Josh Safdie’s film, the worlds of sport and stage are aligned – with the stakes higher for Gwyneth Paltrow’s former screen star, now on Broadway, than Timothée Chalamet’s hotshot This article contains spoilers about Marty Supreme Josh Safdie’s ping-pong nerve-jangler Marty Supreme races through ambition, vanity, humiliation, deception, soaring glory, crushing failure and the deathless allure of...
In Josh Safdie’s film, the worlds of sport and stage are aligned – with the stakes higher for Gwyneth Paltrow’s former screen star, now on Broadway, than Timothée Chalamet’s hotshot This article contains spoilers about Marty Supreme Josh Safdie’s ping-pong nerve-jangler Marty Supreme races through ambition, vanity, humiliation, deception, soaring glory, crushing failure and the deathless allure of an 11th-hour comeback. All of this I recognise from hours of playing table tennis in our local park. But I recognise it, too, from nights at the theatre – not so much the plays themselves, perhaps, rather the stage as a crucible for the careers of those involved. The film’s subplot, about a Broadway play’s fraught opening, becomes an inspired parallel to Marty’s frantic story and Safdie’s wired style matches not just the adrenalised world of a tournament but also the sensation of stepping out on the stage. I’m a sucker for theatre scenes in films and Safdie’s are brief but certainly supreme. Halfway into the movie, Timothée Chalamet’s Marty Mauser sneaks into New York’s Morosco theatre. That’s a real playhouse – or was, until it got demolished in the 80s. The film is set in 1952, the year that Terence Rattigan’s The Deep Blue Sea was put on at the Morosco, which would soon have a hit with the premiere of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Those plays about failing marriages find a counterpart in the film’s story of Kay Stone (Gwyneth Paltrow), a silver-screen star of the 30s who is now making a risky return to acting in an overheated play bankrolled by her husband, Milton Rockwell.

Earnings Call Insights: Global Industrial Company (GIC) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Anesa Chaibi stated that Global Industrial ended 2025 with "good momentum across the business as average daily sales grew 7.4% in the fourth quarter, driven by both volume and price improvements." She highlighted strong margin performance, healthy cash flows, and the announcement of an increased quarterly recurring dividend for the 11th consecutive year. Chaibi explained that 2025 saw the beginning of a business model transformation with core objectives to "become a more customer-centric company" and to "refine our go-to-market strategy, particularly in realigning our sales, marketing and merchandising teams to reframe our value proposition by industry vertical." She announced the completion of the Salesforce rollout across teams, enabling "data-driven and faster decision-making, helping drive efficiencies and more personalized engagement with our customers." Chaibi detailed an expanded product assortment, including "maintenance, repair and operations as well as consumable products," targeting new market opportunities and greater share of wallet. She noted the shift in focus toward strategic enterprise accounts and GPOs, moving away from "nonrecurring, lower profit transactional web business." The inside sales team has been realigned into customer verticals, and a dedicated outside sales team is being built to expand account penetration and acquire new customers across industries such as industrial, commercial, retail, public sector, health care, hospitality, and multifamily. CFO Thomas Clark reported, "Fourth quarter revenue was $345.6 million, up 14.3% over Q4 of last year. On an average daily sales basis, sales grew 7.4%, double the rate of growth compared to the third quarter of 2025." Clark added that U.S. revenue rose 14% and Canada revenue improved 19.7% in local currency, marking Canada's third consecutive quarter of top line growth. Clark stated, "Gross margin was 34.5%, up ...
