With the ability to fit into four different positions, Cabrera stood out not only for his performance, but also for his distinctive No. 95 jersey and a faux pearl necklace that added a touch of style to his uniform. Ron Marinaccio, another Yankees rookie, praised Cabrera for his authenticity and indifference to other people’s opinions. Cabrera received the handmade necklace from Milton Ramos, an infielder he met in the minors who founded PawGripz, a company that makes rubber grips to…

Ferrari Ventures Into Electric Era Amid Industry Challenges

295Technology

In a new factory in northern Italy, Ferrari chassis slide onto robot trucks as engineers in cherry-red uniforms add components like the engine block, dashboard, and steering wheel, turning these bodies into hybrids. Soon: fully electric. There’s a lot at stake in Ferrari’s €200 million “e-building,” which opened last month. Almost twice the size of Rome’s Colosseum, the factory aims to propel the 77-year-old sports car maker, famous for the roar of its combustion engines, into the age of electrification. However, this effort comes at a delicate time for the auto industry. The transition to electric vehicles, which should have…

Political changes in France after early elections

295News

After Sunday's snap legislative elections in France, the nation faces a deadlocked parliament and significant political uncertainty. No major political factions, left, center or right, have won an outright majority. The left-wing New Popular Front emerged as the leading group with 178 seats. President Emmanuel Macron's centrist coalition followed with 150 seats, while Marine Le Pen's anti-immigration Rassemblement National party and its allies secured 142 seats. Contrary to expectations, the National Rally did not win a clear victory. A strategic move by centrists and leftists to form a "republican front" against the National Rally in the second round of voting…

Warmly greeted by poll workers, they arrived in a steady stream: elderly couples holding hands, parents with babies in strollers, and young professionals rushing to work.

295Health

It can take years for generic drugmakers to be ready to produce a drug, and they need to have a sense of the potential market to commit to investing in production. So in the meantime, Gilead will aim to ship "sufficient volumes" of lenacapavir to low-income countries as soon as it gets regulatory approval, he said.

Another effective injectable PrEP drug is available in some African countries, but its introduction has been plagued by access issues. Long-acting cabotegravir, which is injected every two months, has…

Vegas Golden Knights win their first Stanley Cup

295Sports

There were also questions about adding a franchise in a city known for legal sports betting, something sports leagues including the NHL have long avoided. Bettman said hockey betting wasn't as popular as football betting, so the threat of gamblers losing games was minimal. “We don’t worry about the integrity of our game,” Bettman said. Apparently, Bettman should have invested some money in the team before stepping onto the ice for the first time. The Knights seemingly overcame every obstacle that came their way in their inaugural season. They sold more than 14,000 season tickets before the team even had…
