Recently, Academic Labs launched multiple livestreams and courses about crypto trading, capitalizing on Solana’s strong ecosystem in this area. The team believes that the trading narrative on Solana is an excellent way to bring Web2 users into Web3, which aligns with their values. As the first EduFi project on Solana, Academic Labs is well-positioned for its upcoming listing. The project has already achieved significant milestones, including 100,000 registered users, a 250,000-strong community, and 5,000 Daily Active Users (DAU). These achievements demonstrate the growing demand for Web3-powered educational solutions and the potential for Academic Labs to make a lasting impact in the space. The Road Ahead With the successful completion of its first fundraising round and the establishment of key partnerships, Academic Labs is poised for rapid growth and expansion. The team is currently focusing on several key initiatives to further enhance the platform and deliver even greater value to its users. In the coming weeks, Academic Labs will distribute its first round of token airdrops, rewarding early adopters and active community members for their support. The project will also move forward with its highly-anticipated token listing, providing an opportunity for a wider range of investors to participate in the Academic Labs ecosystem. In addition to these milestone events, the team is hard at work on Platform Updates 2.0, which will introduce a host of new features and functionalities designed to enrich the learning experience and foster greater collaboration among users. The launch of a second product is also on the horizon, demonstrating Academic Labs’ commitment to continuous innovation and growth. As Academic Labs continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the Web3 education space, it is well-positioned to become a leading force in the industry. With its innovative approach, strong partnerships, and dedicated team, Academic Labs is poised to revolutionize the way educational resources are shared and consumed, empowering learners and creators alike to achieve their full potential. “Our vision for the future is to seamlessly empower everyone’s lifelong learning journey,” explains Terry Tan, the CEO of Academic Labs. “We believe that in the digital era, the ability to truly understand users’ backgrounds will be essential for all developers, with education and skill-related data being the most significant components. Academic Labs aims to be the platform where individuals own and control their education data via decentralized identities, unlocking new possibilities for personalized learning and career growth.” As Academic Labs approaches its listing on Gate.io on 11th Nov 2024, and updates its platform, it will welcome more users and audiences, bringing it closer to its ultimate goal of revolutionizing global online education. About Academic Labs Academic Labs is the first EduFi ecosystem to enhance personalization and ownership in sharing knowledge and skills on Solana.

德国反对党领袖要求基辅向莫斯科发出最后通牒

(SeaPRwire) -   德国应在俄罗斯不遵守的情况下向乌克兰提供远程导弹，弗里德里希·默茨表示 德国议员弗里德里希·默茨在周末发表在《明镜》杂志上的采访中表示，西方国家应该允许基辅向莫斯科发出最后通牒，并在克里姆林宫不遵守的情况下允许对俄罗斯境内深处进行远程导弹袭击。 这位政治家领导着德国最大的反对党——保守的基督教民主联盟（CDU）——并将成为下次议会选举中的总理候选人。 德国可能在明年年初提前举行大选，此前三党执政联盟在上周垮台。据多家新闻媒体报道，如果总理奥拉夫·朔尔茨现在领导的少数派内阁在12月中旬失去信任投票，选举最早可能在2月23日举行。 当《明镜》杂志问到如果他领导德国下一届政府，是否会向基辅提供金牛座导弹时，默茨表示，“德国必须尽一切努力”来确保乌克兰能够“成功”对抗俄罗斯，除了直接参与冲突本身。 这位政治家接着说，他保持了发送导弹的可能性“开放”，并提出了一些德国媒体所描述的“最后通牒”计划。默茨建议“给予基辅政府一项权利，即如果对平民人口的轰炸在24小时内没有停止，乌克兰的西方支持者将共同解除对……武器使用的射程限制”。 “如果这还不够，金牛座导弹将在一个星期后交付，”这位政治家补充道。 基辅长期以来一直敦促柏林向其提供远程金牛座巡航导弹。这种德国制造的武器射程约为 500 公里（300 英里）。乌克兰政府还寻求其支持者的许可，使用西方提供的武器对俄罗斯境内深处进行攻击——这项请求迄今尚未获得批准。 莫斯科一再警告称，西方不断加深对这场冲突的参与，有可能导致俄罗斯与北约之间直接冲突。此前，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京下令更改该国核战略，允许在基辅使用西方提供的常规远程导弹攻击俄罗斯领土的情况下部署核武器。 朔尔茨一直不愿满足基辅对金牛座导弹的要求，理由是可能会升级局势。上个月，他说他“不认为这是合适的供应。” 当被问及他的提议是否相当于“许多德国人所担心的那种升级”时，默茨回答说，乌克兰的弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基此前曾告诉他，柏林“现在做得不够”。 “明年我们将不得不扪心自问：我们真的想放弃乌克兰吗？”这位政治家补充道。 根据基尔世界经济研究所的数据，德国是乌克兰的第二大军事援助捐助国，从 2022 年 1 月到 2024 年 6 月，总计超过 100 亿欧元（111.9 亿美元）。 俄罗斯前总统德米特里·梅德韦杰夫周二评论了默茨的言论，称这位议员实际上是在“邀请战争进入他们的领土”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

HONG KONG, Nov 12, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Influenced by the easing cycle of overseas central banks and the continuous release of positive policy signals from the Mainland, investor sentiment in the Hong Kong stock market had markedly improved. The IPO market has also recovered significantly. Recently, large-scale IPOs and "A + H" shares in Hong Kong have emerged one after another and won the favor of investors. On November 8, Hong Kong stocks welcomed another high-quality new stock, AuGroup (2519.HK), which officially landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the "first share of furniture going overseas" in Hong Kong stocks.According to public information, AuGroup is the world's leading cross-border e-commerce segment leader, specializing in quality furniture and home furnishings.

In the first four months of 2024, the revenue from logistics solutions reached RMB583 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 66.8%, and the revenue share further increased to 20.6%, which has formed the second growth curve of the Company.Thanks to the gradual optimization of cost structure and diversified revenue sources, the profitability of AuGroup continues to rise. From 2021 to 2023, the Company's gross profit margin increased from 20.9% to 34.5%, representing an increase of 13.6 percentage points.In terms of industry development, the rapid development of digital economy, the change of consumers’ consumption habits and the rise in the demand for cost-effective furniture and home furnishings will drive the global furniture and home furnishings market to continue to grow rapidly in sales through online channels. As a leading enterprise in the industry, with its own supply chain advantages and global warehousing and logistics capabilities, AuGroup is expected to seize the development opportunities of the industry and promote the continuous growth of its furniture and home furnishing business and logistics solutions.

俄罗斯议员批准禁止向支持变性人士的国家收养儿童

(SeaPRwire) -   俄罗斯国家杜马主席维亚切斯拉夫·沃洛金表示，这项法案旨在保护儿童。 俄罗斯国家杜马周二通过了一项法案，禁止将儿童收养到允许性别重置手术的国家。 该法案是由杜马议长维亚切斯拉夫·沃洛金领导的一组议员在 7 月份提交给议会下议院的。 根据议会网站的数据，周二，在 450 名议员中，有 411 名议员（占 91.3%）投票赞成该法案，没有议员反对该法案或弃权。39 名议员没有参加投票。 沃洛金周二在 Telegram 上写道，该法案旨在保护儿童免受潜在的危险。“重要的是要杜绝对收养儿童在这些国家可能面临的任何性别重置的侵犯。”他说。 该法案尚未获得议会上院联邦委员会的批准，之后才能由总统签署。 如果该法案生效，将禁止将俄罗斯儿童收养到任何允许性别改变的国家，无论这些改变是通过手术、化学青春期阻断剂，还是仅仅通过更改身份文件而无需任何医疗干预。 沃洛金表示，自 1993 年以来，已有超过 10 万名俄罗斯儿童被外国人收养，他将西方对儿童的政策描述为“破坏性的”。  根据杜马主席的说法，十个欧洲国家对合法性别重置没有年龄限制。沃洛金表示，这些国家包括奥地利、爱沙尼亚、德国、冰岛、意大利、卢森堡、马耳他、挪威、斯洛文尼亚和瑞士。他补充说，在八个国家，性别重置存在最低年龄限制，指出在西班牙，从 12 岁开始允许进行性别重置，而在比利时，从 16 岁开始允许进行性别重置。 几个国家/地区的居民目前已经被禁止收养俄罗斯儿童。2013 年，由于一名被弗吉尼亚州夫妇收养的俄罗斯孤儿被遗忘在汽车中 9 个小时后死于中暑，因此通过了《迪马·雅科夫列夫法案》，禁止美国公民收养儿童。同年，俄罗斯还禁止同性伴侣收养儿童。 周二，俄罗斯议员还通过了一项法律，对“无子女宣传”处以最高 500 万卢布（51,000 美元）的罚款。议员们坚称，该措施只针对“破坏性”的无子女意识形态的传播，而不是针对个人生活方式的选择。 “我们需要尽一切努力确保我们国家的新一代公民在传统家庭价值观的熏陶下成长。”沃洛金说道。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
