How to Watch Top 25 Women’s College Basketball Games – Saturday, December 7Sydney Thomas reveals Jake Paul's four-word message to her during Mike Tyson fight

It's no secret, but Juraj Slafkovsky is not having the start of the season he had hoped for with the Montreal Canadiens. At the end of last season, he showed serious promise that he has what it takes to become a star player in the National Hockey League, but we are still searching for the Slafkovsky of last winter. Personally, I believed that there was a lot of bad luck involved and that his poor start to the season was just a series of unfortunate circumstances (with Patrik Laine's injury, frequent line changes, and the struggles of Kirby Dach/Alex Newhook). However, a sequence from last night's game reveals a much more concerning aspect of Slafkovsky's current performance. I am willing to excuse many things when a player is going through a rough patch, especially a young player, because it happens to 100% of athletes on the planet. What is inexcusable, though, is a lack of effort. As reported earlier this week, Kent Hughes even had to come down, confront Slafkovsky, shake him up, and tell him some hard truths. A troubling sequence involving Juraj Slafkovsky and footage that clearly shows his lack of effort Despite all this, we witnessed the following sequence last night: Poor situational analysis: if he notices that Fowler is ahead of Dach, he (hopefully) backchecks with more intensity to catch up to the defenseman. Stops skating at the blue line. Number 20 can do better. Rest assured, the sequence will be shown to Juraj Slafkovsky by Montreal Canadiens management (if it hasn't already been done), and he will be told that he must do better. It's frustrating because we now know the extent of his talent and potential. It's up to him to find solutions and become a dominant player for the Montreal Canadiens. We believe in him!

The United States will provide Ukraine with a large weapons package, as President Joe Biden's outgoing administration seeks to bolster the government in Kyiv in its war with Russian invaders before leaving office in January. or signup to continue reading The deal is worth $US725 million ($A1.1 billion). The assistance will include Stinger missiles, ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), drones and land mines, among other items, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday. Reuters had reported last week that the Biden administration planned to provide the equipment, much of it anti-tank weapons to ward off Russia's attacking troops. "The United States and more than 50 nations stand united to ensure Ukraine has the capabilities it needs to defend itself against Russian aggression," Blinken's statement said. The announcement marks a steep uptick in size from Biden's recent use of so-called Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows the US to draw from current weapons stocks to help allies in an emergency. Recent PDA announcements have typically ranged from $US125 million ($A194 million) to $US250 million ($A388 million). Biden has an estimated $US4 billion ($A6.2 billion) to $US5 billion ($A7.8 billion) in PDA already authorised by Congress that he is expected to use for Ukraine before Republican President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20. The tranche of weapons represents the first time in decades the US has exported land mines, the use of which is controversial because of the potential harm to civilians. Although more than 160 countries have signed a treaty banning their use, Kyiv has been asking for them since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in early 2022, and Russian forces have used them on the front lines. The land mines that would be sent to Ukraine are "non-persistent," with a power system that lasts for just a short time, leaving the devices non-lethal. This means that - unlike older landmines - they would not remain in the ground, threatening civilians indefinitely. DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.

Québec City-based , founded by former employees of failed vaccine venture Medicago, is advancing an $80-million project to develop plant-based vaccines for new flu shots and pandemic preparedness. Half of the funding is a repayable contribution of $40 million awarded by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) through the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF), as first reported by in August. Another portion consists of an all-equity $30-million Series A round announced this week. The remaining $10 million is made up of undisclosed loans and funding from the Québec City municipal government. The $30 million in Series A financing was led by a group of undisclosed Québec investors, plus $10 million from Aramis employees. The $30 million in Series A financing was led by a group of undisclosed Québec investors, plus $10 million from Aramis employees. Aramis was founded in 2023 by former Medicago employees after the latter biotech firm was by its parent company, Mitsubishi Chemical Group. Medicago was over $300 million from the federal government in 2020 to build a vaccine manufacturing plant in Québec and deliver COVID-19 shots, but the plan never materialized. In December 2023, former employees founded Aramis Biotechnologies and acquired Medicago’s intellectual property, technology platform, and new manufacturing facility. “Aramis is seeking to build on Medicago’s cutting-edge technology platform to advance and optimize plant-based vaccines and therapeutics against influenza and other respiratory illnesses,” ISED wrote in an email to BetaKit. Aramis plans to develop a next-generation flu vaccine to address the efficiency gap with currently available vaccines. The vaccines are not mRNA-based, but rather recombinant vector vaccines, and are entirely plant-based. The major protein found in the flu virus is produced recombinantly in nicotiana plants and assembled into virus-like particles in plant leaves, which Aramis then extracts. According to Aramis, current flu vaccines are 30 to 60 percent effective at preventing the flu, and that metric is lower among adults over 75 years old. ISED told BetaKit that no vaccine doses were purchased as part of this agreement. But in the event of a new pandemic, Aramis would get the chance to achieve what Medicago, its former iteration, never did: developing and manufacturing vaccines for Canadians within the country. Nathalie Charland, senior director of partnerships and communications at Aramis, also at Medicago for over 18 years, according to her LinkedIn. Aramis says its technology can coax plants into producing the molecules needed to make vaccines against virtually any type of pathogen, as long as the appropriate genetic sequence is available. Charland claimed that if necessary, the company could produce a new vaccine in as few as 20 days. Medicago’s plant-based COVID-19 vaccine—the world’s first—was approved by Health Canada in 2022. The World Health Organization had Medicago’s vaccine for emergency use due to tobacco company Philip Morris International’s status as a shareholder of Medicago, leading to its vaccine approval with Health Canada also being revoked. The parent company, Mitsubishi Chemical Group, Medicago in February 2023 before it could distribute any vaccines, citing changing demands for the COVID-19 vaccine. The federal government was able to $40 million of its initial investment. ISED clarified to BetaKit that the new $40-million SIF contribution is distinct from these funds. Charland told BetaKit that the problems which led to Medicago shutting down, related to Philip Morris holding a stake and the speed of technological change during the earlier days of the pandemic, are no longer a concern. According to ISED, oversight through the SIF contribution is on the vaccine development project itself, rather than the company.Seventeen years ago, JT Skurtovich defied the odds, born at just 26 weeks and given only 10 days to live.
