FreeDum Fighters (DUM) emerged several weeks ago as a highly popular project from the newly formed PolitiFi sector. Specifically, if one of the two had a greater number of supporters, the other would provide greater staking rewards. So, with MAGATRON’s pool winning the majority of votes, its staking rewards were lower than those of KAMACOP. The project particularly started attracting attention after Trump shared plans to introduce a new Department For Government Efficiency, or D.O.G.E. BUY DUM BEFORE ITS NEXT PRICE BOOSTThe project has already sold over 9.08 billion DUM tokens, each of which is valued at only $0.00008.

When Joe Biden was the Democratic candidate, not many people gave him a chance, despite Donald Trump’s many liabilities. She was nuanced in her understanding of America society and the world, where Trump was simplistic and dismissive. Trump’s rhetoric was divisive, even demeaning to groups of people like blacks, Puerto Ricans, migrants and women. At the very least, her plans were much clearer and more complex than Trump’s simplistic explanations about what was wrong with America. What made sense was that all the pontification and obfuscation was a cover for deep-rooted misogyny and racism.

By 2022, the rate of adults worldwide living with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes had shockingly doubled compared to cases in 1990 – reaching a daunting 800 million. Inequalities in healthcareProfessor Majid Ezzati of Imperial College London expressed serious concerns about global inequalities in diabetes treatment. Since 1990, diabetes rates have doubled for both men and women (rising from 6.8% to 14.3% and from 6.9% to 13.9%, respectively). This translates to around 828 million adults living with diabetes in 2022 – a drastic increase from nearly 198 million in 1990. Coverage for diabetes treatmentDespite the swelling diabetic populations, the coverage for diabetes treatment in many LMICs remains low.

Every week, Margaret Lidkea, president of the Friends of Upland Park, leads a team of nature enthusiasts along Oak Bay’s coast to remove invasive species crippling the fragile Garry oak ecosystem—one of Canada’s most endangered environments. For the past 30 years, the Oak Bay resident has been working to clean municipality’s Garry oak forests, starting independently with her Girl Guide group. Since its inception, these clean-ups have removed countless tons of invasive species, helping to save numerous Garry oaks and protect fragile ecosystems. An area like this of Cattle Point, without such efforts from Lidkea’s troop, could have been overtaken by invasive species long ago and decimated. In addition to protecting a local plot of land, these volunteers have preserved Oak Bay’s broader ecosystem and its surroundings.

A new exhibition at Morocco’s central bank museum in Rabat is illuminating the ancient history of Chellah, an archaeological marvel on the outskirts of the capital. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Chellah spans 1.2 square miles—nearly five times the size of Pompeii—and showcases Morocco’s layered history, reflecting centuries of influence from multiple civilizations. Bernoussi emphasized that Chellah plays a crucial role in understanding Morocco’s ancient history, shaped by the Phoenicians, the Amazigh (Berbers), the Romans, and the Arabs. The exhibition includes items ranging from pottery and tools to the bronze coins that provide insights into the economic activities of ancient Chellah. “It’s inspiring to see Chellah’s history preserved and shared in this way,” said Rabat resident Nadia El Ghazali.

TEL AVIV — Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz planned to issue a portion of approved draft notices to Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community Sunday, escalating a showdown between the minority community, which holds outsize political power, and the Israeli majority, hundreds of thousands of whom have been called up to serve in Israel’s wars. Ultra-Orthodox partners in Netanyahu’s coalition have threatened to collapse the government if legislation reflecting their demands is not passed, which would probably lead to fresh elections. Netanyahu appointed Katz, a government minister with little military experience, this month to replace Yoav Gallant, who refused to advance new legislation enabling ultra-Orthodox military exemption. In the weeks following Oct. 7, Israel saw full compliance in its enlistment rate. Now, they are at 85 percent, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Nadav Shoshani said in a Thursday news briefing.

North Korea has begun blasting eerie, unsettling sounds across the border into South Korea, tormenting villagers and disrupting daily life. Since July, North Korea's loudspeakers have been active for up to 24 hours a day, replacing their traditional propaganda broadcasts with nerve-racking noises. In May, North Korea retaliated against anti-Kim leaflets sent by defectors in the South by releasing its own balloons filled with trash. “North Korea knows its propaganda no longer works on South Koreans,” said Kang Dong-wan, a North Korea expert. Yet, North Korea recently demolished key transport links and disrupted GPS signals near the border, signalling its intent to escalate further.

As we approach 2025, North Africa, with Morocco at the forefront, is emerging as a key player in strategic industrial sectors such as renewable energies and automotive. However, this development comes with challenges that will determine the region's success in a highly competitive global market. Renewable energies: a strategic commitment. The automotive industry in North Africa has experienced sustained growth, with Morocco consolidating its position as a production hub in Africa thanks to its proximity to Europe and its attractive regulatory framework. North Africa's industrial development in 2025 will depend on its ability to balance strategic investments, improve the regulatory environment and adapt to global demands.
