Their brows furrow, their eyes widen, and you can almost see the question marks forming above their heads. Why is this happening? What is that shiny object coming towards me? In that split second of uncertainty, their trust in us is put to the test. And as parents, we must be their calm in the storm, their rock in the face of the unknown.Trump's Wall Street head hunt puts spotlight on ApolloQIAGEN launches novel tools for customizing digital PCR assays and NGS panels for microbial analysis

Blake Snell and the Dodgers agreed to a $182 million, five-year contract, according to a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday night because the deal is subject to a successful physical. The two-time Cy Young Award winner broke the news personally by posting a photo of himself on social media in a Dodgers uniform — No. 7. Snell gets a $52 million signing bonus, payable on Jan. 20, and annual salaries of $26 million, of which $13 million each year will be deferred. Because Snell is a Washington state resident, the signing bonus will not be subject to California income tax. Snell would join two-way star Shohei Ohtani and fellow Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto atop Los Angeles' rotation, giving the Dodgers the first megadeal this offseason following Ohtani's $700 million, 10-year contract and Yamamoto's $325 million, 12-year agreement last offseason. Ohtani didn't pitch this year while recovering from right elbow surgery but is expected back on the mound in 2025. He won his third MVP award — first in the National League — following a huge season at the plate exclusively as a designated hitter. Yamamoto went 7-2 with a 3.00 ERA in 18 starts as a rookie, then won twice in four October outings. Down to three healthy starting pitchers during the postseason, Los Angeles overcame a string of injuries to its projected rotation in winning the franchise's second World Series title in five years. Right-handers Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler then became free agents this fall, creating more voids on the staff. But the addition of Snell would fill a large one at the top with a legitimate ace. Snell's $36.4 million average salary would rank as the fifth-highest among active deals next year behind Ohtani ($70 million), Philadelphia pitcher Zack Wheeler ($42 million), New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge ($40 million) and Texas pitcher Jacob deGrom ($37 million). Among expired contracts, it also was exceeded by pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander (both $43.33 million) under deals they agreed to with the New York Mets. ESPN first reported the details of Snell's contract. Earlier this month, Snell opted out of his deal with San Francisco to become a free agent for the second consecutive offseason after he was slowed by injuries during his lone year with the Giants. The left-hander agreed in March to a $62 million, two-year contract that included a $17 million signing bonus payable on Jan. 15, 2026, a $15 million salary for 2024 and a $30 million salary for 2025, of which $15 million would have been deferred and payable on July 1, 2027. Snell, who turns 32 next week, went 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA in 20 starts this year, throwing a no-hitter at Cincinnati on Aug. 2 for one of only 16 individual shutouts in the major leagues this season. He struck out 145 and walked 44 in 104 innings. He was sidelined between April 19 and May 22 by a strained left adductor and between June 2 and July 9 by a strained left groin. Snell won Cy Young Awards in 2018 with Tampa Bay and 2023 with San Diego. He is 76-58 with a 3.19 ERA in nine seasons with the Rays (2016-20), Padres (2021-23) and Giants. Because he turned down a qualifying offer from San Diego last November, the Giants were not eligible to give Snell another one and won’t receive draft-pick compensation. Los Angeles expects All-Star right-hander Tyler Glasnow and three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw back in the rotation next year. Other starting candidates if healthy include right-handers Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin and Bobby Miller. Ohtani is coming off right elbow surgery in September 2023 and left shoulder surgery on Nov. 5. Glasnow didn’t pitch after Aug. 11 because of right elbow tendinitis. Kershaw, who turns 37 in March, had foot and knee surgeries on Nov. 7. He declined a $10 million player option in favor of free agency, but is expected to return to Los Angeles. May is coming back from Tommy John surgery in July 2023 and from an operation this past July to repair a tear in his esophagus. Gonsolin spent 2024 rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. Miller, an 11-game winner as a rookie in 2023, was sidelined early this season by shoulder inflammation. He struggled to a 2-4 record with an 8.52 ERA in 13 big league starts and ended the regular season in the minors. Yamamoto was sidelined by right triceps tightness between June 15 and Sept. 10, then returned and went 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA in four postseason starts.

Jones has been the Giants' starting quarterback for much of the past six years. That changed Monday when he was informed of the decision by coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen that there would be a change at quarterback. Jones came to Thursday's news conference with a prepared statement in which he thanked the team but also articulated his disappointment. Editor's Picks DeVito 'sticking to football,' trying to avoid hoopla 23h Jordan Raanan Giants demote Jones to QB3, tab DeVito to start 3d Jordan Raanan Latest NFL Week 12 buzz: What we're hearing on Daniel Jones' benching, GM candidates and playoff races 1d Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler "There have been some great times, but of course we all wish there had been more of those," Jones said as part of his statement. "I take full responsibility for my part in not bringing more wins. Nobody wanted to win more games worse than me and I gave everything I had on the field and in my preparation. Of course, this season has been disappointing for all and of course I wish I could have done more. I'm 100% accountable for my part. I did not play well enough consistently enough to help the team get results. "The reality of the NFL is it's hard to win games. It requires consistent performance for everyone involved. We didn't do that well enough, so the idea to change something happens and I understand. I love the game, I love being part of the team. I'm excited for the next opportunity. I know there is a lot of good football in front of me and I'm excited about that." That next opportunity could come elsewhere relatively soon. Jones, who has thrown eight touchdown passes with seven interceptions this season, was noncommittal when asked whether he would stay with the Giants for the rest of the season. New York (2-8) has seven games left. "That's something I'm processing," Jones said. "Right now, my focus is on how I can help all these guys, help all these guys prepare for this week." Jones, 27, said he wanted to find a way to keep playing and tried to create a situation that made both sides comfortable despite a $23 million injury guarantee for next season. It was too late. New York's brass had already decided it was time to move on from the 2019 No. 6 pick as their starting quarterback and turn to DeVito, a second-year quarterback who won three games as a starter last season. The Giants explained the decision to Jones as there being a need for change with the team at 2-8. He admittedly was not happy, as it effectively will end his career with the team that drafted him out of Duke University. The injury guarantee was also part of the equation. "That was a piece of the conversation, for sure," Jones said. "I wanted to play. I wanted to play badly and do what I could to play. I think it was a part of it. Most of those discussions took place with my agents and [general manager Joe Schoen]." The Giants have lost five straight games, and Jones is 3-13 as the starter since signing a four-year, $160 million deal in March 2023. That prompted the switch, even if it wasn't Jones' preference. "Definitely not happy about it. Not what you want to hear. All those emotions you have," he said. "At the end of the day, this is football and we're in a business where you're expected to get results, and we weren't doing it. You've got to accept it and understand." Jones has been the fourth quarterback this week for the Giants behind DeVito, Drew Lock and the recently signed Tim Boyle . He spent part of Thursday's practice as a scout team safety during a walk-through period. It's a situation that Lock said was weird seeing at practice. "Well, I've got the injury guarantee. So, that's that," Jones said. "I understand it. They don't want to take any risks. At that point, it's just do as you're told." The Giants would be on the hook for $23 million should Jones sustain a serious injury and not be able to pass a physical early next year. It's a risk the Giants are not willing to take given the circumstances. As for going home (such as what happened with Derek Carr two years ago in Las Vegas) or asking for his outright release, both options still seem to be still in play for Jones. "Like I said, I'm still processing and trying to think through what the best thing is for this team, what the best thing is for me," he said. In the meantime, he's also processing it all coming to an end. Admittedly, it hasn't been easy. Tears started to well in Jones' eyes when asked about the support he has received in recent days from teammates, specifically 2019 draftmates Dexter Lawrence and Darius Slayton . "Like I said, I've created a lot of great relationships with the guys here and definitely appreciate the support," Jones said. "But, it's about the team and what's best for the team. I know the guys will be ready to go. I know Tommy will be ready to go this week."
Bojan Miovski scored twice as Girona thrashed Espanyol 4-1 in LaLiga at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi on Saturday. ( More Sports News ) Bryan Gil and Ladislav Krejci were also on the scoresheet as the home side raced to a 4-0 lead inside the first half hour, with Javi Puado scoring the visiting side's only goal after the break. After the match was halted because of a fan being taken ill in the crowd, Gil opened the scoring when he unleashed a stunning long-range strike into the bottom corner with four minutes on the clock. Gil was behind the second goal for Michel's side too, as he capitalised on a defensive error and crossed to Miovski, who made it 2-0 in the 16th minute before the pair combined again for a third five minutes later. Donny van de Beek's header from Yaser Asprilla's corner was pushed in by Krejci for Girona's fourth in the 27th minute. Espanyol got a consolation goal 10 minutes into the second half when Puado hit a long-range strike that found the back of Paulo Gazzaniga's net. Girona, last season's surprise package, climbed to fifth in LaLiga with 21 points, while Espanyol are 19th and in the relegation zone with 10 points.

Lambton County is on a list of future sites for power plants in Ontario, including the possibility of a large nuclear facility. Energy Minister Stephen Lecce announced today that three sites – already owned by Ontario Power Generation – are under consideration. The plan includes the site of the former Lambton Generating Station. It was decommissioned and then torn down in 2019. The province said the site, along with the others in Haldimand County and the Port Hope area, is being eyed to meet an anticipated 75 per cent increase in demand for power by 2050. Leece said the first step in the process will be consultations with municipalities and First Nations. St. Clair Township Mayor Jeff Agar calls it welcome news. His municipality lost over $2 million of its tax base when the coal-fired Lambton Generation Station closed. “That’s hard to recover, really hard,” he told CTV News London. St. Clair Township suffered a further setback recently when an announced $245 million whiskey distillery plant went on hold. “Obviously the Diageo Corp. plant we've been talking about is in a pause right now. So something like this would bring on more, more jobs, more work construction, the trade unions,” said Agar. “And, it's kind of quiet now, so it'd be nice to jump start again.” Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.

The San Francisco 49ers announced they have elevated LB Jalen Graham and CB Nick McCloud from the practice squad to the active roster. Additionally, the 49ers have signed S Tashaun Gipson Sr. to the 53-man roster. San Francisco placed LB Tatum Bethune on injured reserve. McCloud, 26, originally signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame in 2021. After spending training camp in Buffalo, McCloud was claimed off waivers by the Bengals. McCloud spent two months in Cincinnati before the Bengals waived him and he caught on with the Bills’ practice squad in 2021. He re-signed to Buffalo on a futures deal in 2022 and was claimed by the Giants coming out of training camp. New York re-signed him as a restricted free agent in 2024 but waived him in November before he caught on with the 49ers practice squad. In 2024, McCloud has appeared in eight games for the Giants and 49ers and recorded 14 total tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass deflection.

Over the past few years, women voters have emerged as one of the most influential demographics in Indian elections. No longer seen as passive participants, they are active decision-makers reshaping political campaigns. Politechnica, led by founders Chirag Choudhary and Ishan Rajput, has been at the forefront of this shift, crafting strategies that resonate with women’s needs and aspirations. The 2024 Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha elections exemplify this trend, where women-centric policies and targeted outreach became critical to electoral success. At Politechnica, we believe in our core values: Insight. Creativity. Impact. These values drive every campaign we design and execute. Women Voters as Game Changers With 46.6 million registered women voters in Maharashtra, their influence in this election cannot be overstated. Across urban and rural constituencies, women voters demanded solutions to long-standing issues like safety, healthcare, job creation, and education. The turnout figures reflect this growing enthusiasm—women voters are closing the gap with their male counterparts and, in some cases, even surpassing them. In Himachal Pradesh, Politechnica’s campaign strategy created history by securing a record voter turnout, where for the first time in the state’s Vidhan Sabha history, more women voters participated than men. This victory wasn’t just electoral; it highlighted how women are stepping up as key decision-makers in shaping the country’s political future. “As an organization, we firmly believe that empowering women is the cornerstone of meaningful societal change,” said Chirag Choudhary, co-founder of Politechnica. “When you uplift a woman, you strengthen a family; when you empower families, you transform villages; and when villages thrive, the nation prospers. Our campaigns focus on addressing the real issues women face, ensuring their voices drive progress and shape the future of our democracy.” From “Revdi” to Empowerment What was once dismissed as “revdi” or election freebies is now being reframed as tools of empowerment for women. Initiatives like the Ladki Bahina Yojana in Maharashtra and the Ladli Behna Yojana in Madhya Pradesh are not just about direct cash transfers—they represent a broader shift in how women’s issues are being prioritized in policy-making. While these schemes have received praise, their success varies across regions. In rural Maharashtra, women expressed gratitude for the ₹1,500 monthly aid. However, in urban areas, rising inflation dampened the scheme’s appeal, with many voters calling for systemic solutions rather than one-time assistance. This highlights the grey area in policy impact, with mixed outcomes depending on the demographic. Bridging the Urban-Rural Divide Women’s needs vary significantly between urban and rural areas. Urban women prioritize issues like air pollution, property taxes, and public transport, while rural women focus on water, healthcare, and education for their children. Politechnica’s strategies carefully balanced these diverse needs, helping candidates craft messages that addressed specific challenges. For instance, in constituencies with poor public transport infrastructure, Politechnica advised candidates to promise tangible improvements such as better bus stands and enhancing safety through solar streetlights. These measures resonated deeply with women, who have historically borne the brunt of inadequate infrastructure. Innovative Schemes to Empower Women In 2022, Politechnica took this trend a step further, crafting campaigns that addressed women’s key concerns at a deeper level. By focusing on real, actionable issues, we drove transformative change through: • Education for Children: Advocating better school infrastructure and financial aid to ensure every child, especially girls, gets quality education. • Youth Upskilling Programs: Training unemployed youth in market-ready skills to alleviate household anxieties and empower families. • Solar Street Lamps for Safety: Making public spaces safer for women in rural and urban areas with sustainable lighting solutions. • Mobile Ambulances: Addressing critical gaps in healthcare access by deploying mobile units, especially in remote areas where the nearest hospital is over 65 km away. Grassroots Outreach and Digital Engagement Politechnica’s women-centric campaigns utilized grassroots networks, self-help groups (SHGs), and local influencers to amplify messaging. Door-to-door campaigns addressing maternal health concerns and water accessibility struck a chord in rural areas, while targeted social media outreach on platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp engaged young, educated women voters in urban regions.
