ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has revealed the significant economic losses caused by opposition-led protests, ARY News reported. Muhammad Aurangzeb held a press conference amid Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) planned march towards Islamabad.

He added that the nation must unite against extremism, mentioning that people from Parachinar are sitting on the roads with the bodies of their loved ones, yet there has been no sign of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur going to help them. Musadik Malik also criticised Ali Amin Gandapur for trying to attack Punjab and Islamabad, adding, “What happened to his Do-or-Die rally today? There are voices everywhere saying ‘Arrest me, take me in.’ Where are all the senior PTI leaders? No rallies are visible in Punjab, Lahore, Faisalabad, and Gujranwala.”Meet the cutest dogs in AustraliaBuggs' 15 lead East Tennessee State over Austin Peay 79-57

Amidst groundbreaking technological advancements, the crypto community is keenly scouting for ventures that seamlessly connect traditional and innovative realms. Two standout projects capturing attention are BlockDAG (BDAG) and RCO Finance (RCOF). RCO Finance is making strides with its AI-enhanced DeFi ecosystem, while BlockDAG is making waves with its advanced blockchain infrastructure and impressive presale results. Both initiatives introduce essential features that are reshaping the market. However, which one is gaining more traction within the crypto community? Let’s delve into RCOF and BlockDAG to see which is poised for enduring support. RCO Finance: AI-Powered DeFi Breakthrough RCO Finance has piqued investor interest as it approaches the $5 million milestone in its token presale. This project merges artificial intelligence with decentralized finance, forging a no-code investment platform that facilitates access to stocks, real-world assets, and bonds. By eliminating intermediaries, RCO Finance reduces fees and simplifies portfolio diversification, attracting a robust retail investor base. The AI robo-advisor, a key innovation, tailors investment strategies based on real-time data and user preferences. From providing financial projections to tax advice, this tool is set to transform how portfolios are managed. As a trailblazer in tokenizing real-world assets, RCO Finance allows fractional ownership of high-value investments like real estate, making it an attractive option for those seeking entry into markets usually out of reach. Currently, it has delivered early investors a 300% ROI. Industry experts anticipate a potential 1000x return should it debut at the forecasted price. However, its dependence on RCOF tokens for accessing ecosystem features might restrict its expansion beyond dedicated DeFi enthusiasts. BlockDAG: Sculpting the Future of Blockchain While RCO Finance streamlines investment processes, BlockDAG is revolutionizing blockchain technology fundamentals. Leveraging its Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) architecture, BlockDAG ensures exceptional transaction speed, scalability, and security, positioning it as a top-tier Layer 1 blockchain solution. BlockDAG has quickly exceeded market expectations, securing a remarkable $20 million within a mere 48 hours and raising a total of $150 million while distributing 16.4 billion coins at a presale price of $0.0234. Its early investors are now reaping a 2240% ROI, significantly surpassing the 300% ROI from RCOF. Additionally, experts are projecting a staggering 30,000x ROI for BlockDAG and foreseeing a potential price of $30 in the future. Unlike RCO Finance, which is tailored to specialized financial needs, BlockDAG provides a broad, developer-friendly environment. Its intuitive low-code/no-code tools allow users to easily create meme coins, NFTs, and utility tokens, transforming BlockDAG into a dynamic development hub. Currently, BlockDAG’s mainnet is in the audit phase, an essential milestone in its roadmap, indicating its readiness to uphold promises of scalability and efficiency. Where RCO Finance’s presale underscores its niche within DeFi, BlockDAG’s achievements reflect its widespread appeal. By offering robust infrastructure for various blockchain applications, BlockDAG is paving the way for extensive, long-term growth that RCO Finance’s scope doesn’t cover. BlockDAG Incentivizes its Community with BULLRUN100 Further enhancing BlockDAG’s allure is the BULLRUN100 bonus, an exclusive, time-sensitive offer designed to reward its community. This promotion, expiring in five days, provides buyers with the opportunity to double their BDAG coin purchases, effectively doubling their investment leverage. Another advantage of this offer is that buyers gain early access to their coins through airdrops. With the mainnet undergoing auditing, investors are focusing on the broader benefits: the 100% bonus is enticing, but early access to coins offers them a strategic advantage over much of the market. RCO Finance vs. BlockDAG: The Clear Winner RCO Finance has made its mark in the DeFi space with its AI-driven tools and a system that tokenizes real-world assets. Its presale results are solid, but its focus on specialized financial solutions may curb its long-term growth. While RCOF investors might experience gains, the project’s dependence on a specific sector could make it a riskier investment over time. In contrast, BlockDAG is on its way to establishing a blockchain dynasty. Its cutting-edge DAG technology, accessible low-code/no-code tools, and a record-setting presale have positioned it as a top choice for traders, further sweetened by the current BULLRUN100 bonus. With its impressive figures, forward-thinking vision, and robust technology, BlockDAG stands out as the frontrunner in this comparison.

Tahj Brooks Leads Texas Tech to 52-15 Rout of West Virginia in Final Home GameCanada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day.The Prime Minister will this week kick off what he has called the “next phase” of Government, as he announces the markers for his “missions” that Number 10 say will allow the public to hold Sir Keir and his team to account on their promises and will be reached by the end of the Parliament. The milestones will run alongside public sector reform, Downing Street said. This will include a focus on reforming Whitehall, spearheaded by the as-yet-unannounced new chief civil servant the Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet ministers, so it is geared towards the delivery of Labour’s missions, according to Number 10. The same focus will also influence decisions for next year’s spending review, it has been suggested. Writing in The Sun on Sunday, the Prime Minister compared “focusing the machinery of government” to “turning an oil tanker” and said that “acceptance of managed decline” has “seeped into parts of Whitehall”. “The British people aren’t fools. They know a ruthless focus on priorities is essential,” he wrote. The Sunday Times reported that one of the milestones would focus on early education, with the aim to raise the number of children who are ready for school, educationally and socially. Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden said that “it’s estimated that more than a million school days worth of teacher time each year is spent dealing with” children who are not prepared for school. Labour’s missions, as laid out in their July election manifesto, focus on economic growth, energy security and cleaner energy, the NHS, childcare and education systems, as well as crime and criminal justice. Ahead of revealing the details, Sir Keir said in a statement: “This plan for change is the most ambitious yet honest programme for government in a generation. “Mission-led government does not mean picking milestones because they are easy or will happen anyway – it means relentlessly driving real improvements in the lives of working people. “We are already fixing the foundations and have kicked-started our first steps for change, stabilising the economy, setting up a new Border Security Command, and investing £22 billion in an NHS that is fit for the future. “Our plan for change is the next phase of delivering this Government’s mission. “Some may oppose what we are doing and no doubt there will be obstacles along the way, but this Government was elected on mandate of change and our plan reflects the priorities of working people. “Given the unprecedented challenges we have inherited we will not achieve this by simply doing more of the same, which is why investment comes alongside a programme of innovation and reform.” The so-called “missions” outlined in Labour’s election manifesto focused on five key policy areas: kickstart economic growth; make Britain a clean energy superpower; take back our streets; break down barriers to opportunity; and build an NHS fit for the future. 🚨 New polling with @ObserverUK Keir Starmer has seen an 8 point drop in his net approval rating after a significant uptick in the number disapproving of his performance. 22% approve of his performance vs. 54% who disapprove.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona lost at home for the first time this season when the Liga leader was stunned by Las Palmas 2-1 on Saturday. Sandro Ramirez and Fábio Silva scored for the Canary Islands club on either side of Raphinha’s equalizer to give Las Palmas its first win at Barcelona in more than 50 years. Barcelona played superbly in the first three months under new coach Hansi Flick and was flying high after convincing victories over Real Madrid in the domestic competition and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. It had won all eight of its home games. But it has gone three rounds of La Liga without a win. Before Las Palmas, it fell at Real Sociedad 1-0 and drew at Celta Vigo 2-2 after squandering a two-goal lead in the final minutes. The dropped points mean Madrid, despite its own troubles , especially in the Champions League, can move ahead of Barcelona in La Liga. It trails Barcelona by four points with two games in hand. “I don’t care about scoring, I care about winning,” Raphinha said after his standout performance was unable to end Barcelona's slump. “We have to take a hard look at what we are doing wrong. We have slipped in our form and are letting games get away form us. We have our next game on Tuesday (at Mallorca), and we need to turn this around so we can win the league.” Atletico Madrid was only two points behind Barcelona in second place — and with the same number of games played — after Antoine Griezmann scored a gem of a goal in a 5-0 demolition of last-placed Valladolid. Las Palmas savored its first victory at Barcelona since the 1971-72 season and just its third victory at the Catalan club overall. The other visits by the modest side that wears all yellow uniforms to Barcelona have ended in 34 defeats and three draws. “We are thrilled because we have made history,” Sandro said. “When you start the season you think that these games are usually going to end in wins for the bigger side, but if there is one thing we believe in is our capacity to work hard all week to get results like this.” Barcelona's Lamine Yamal returned from a right ankle injury that sidelined him for three weeks. Yamal appeared as a halftime substitute and Jasper Cillessen saved his best shot. The Las Palmas goalkeeper also palmed a Raphinha free kick over his bar in the final minutes. Sandro, a former Barcelona youth player, capped a fine five-pass buildup by Las Palmas from its own box as it masterfully undid Barcelona’s high pressure in the 49th minute. Raphinha had already hit the crossbar in the first half before he equalized in the 61st. The Brazil forward took a short pass from Pedri just outside the area, skirted across the edge and drilled a shot between two defenders. But Barcelona was caught pushing forward for a second goal when Silva controlled a ball from Javi Muñoz and sent in a shot bouncing past Iñaki Peña in the 67th. The unexpected loss dampened Barcelona’s celebration of its 125th anniversary, which included the debut of its new mascot “Cat,” a large, yellow feline wearing its team kit. Barcelona lost left back Alejandro Balde early in the game when he couldn’t continue after he crashed into Sandro at full speed. Balde appeared to hurt his upper chest or neck area when he ran into Sandro’s shoulder. He was carried off on a stretcher and replaced by Gerard Martín. Griezmann scored one of the goals of the season when the forward exchanged a quick one-two with Julián Alvarez and used a sleek touch of the inside of his boot to roll the ball with him as he spun before dinking it over the Valladolid goalkeeper. That was the visitor's fourth goal. Shortly after, Valladolid fans stood up and applauded when Griezmann was substituted. “That is what every players wants, to make people enjoy what we do. So I appreciate their warmth,” Griezmann said. Atletico also got goals from Alvarez, Clement Lenglet, Rodrigo de Paul, and Alexander Sorloth. Espanyol beat Celta 3-1 to end a streak of four losses in the league and relieve pressure on coach Manolo González. Alaves also drew with Leganes 1-1 at home.
