PARTYNEXTDOOR Gifts Drake a Bespoke Maison Raksha Chain
Summary In a dazzling display of camaraderie and artistic connection,PARTYNEXTDOORhas giftedDrakea stunning, custom-designed chain crafted by renowned jewelerMaison Raksha. This opulent piece, named '0M0,' is far more than mere adornment; it represents a convergence of Toronto's most influential creative minds and a subtle nod to the city's interwoven musical landscape. Maison Raksha, the Toronto-born jeweler, was enlisted by PARTYNEXTDOOR for this intricate creation. The front of the pendant proudly displays '0M0,' meticulously set with 25 carats of custom-cut baguette and carré-cut diamonds, accented by elegant green tourmaline ovals. At the core of the central 'M' lies a 'V,' a deliberate design choice signifying the powerful 'union of forces' between the OVO (October's Very Own, Drake's label) and 0M0 (PARTYNEXTDOOR's brand, stylized as the eyes emoji). The pendant hangs from a substantial 100-carat, 360-degree link chain, making it a truly monumental piece. The reverse side of the pendant reveals an equally thoughtful detail: a 22-karat gold owl rests confidently within a diamond 'Tree Hollow,' creating a sharp, striking contrast against the cool 14k white gold. This owl motif, a long-standing emblem of Drake's OVO, deepens the symbolic connection between the artists. The inspiration behind this unique piece runs even deeper, reportedly drawn from the concept of AMO (Autonomous Money Organization), an idea notably championed by Oliver El-Khatib, a key figure in Drake's OVO empire. This layered inspiration infuses the piece with a philosophical underpinning, linking it to the innovative and independent spirit that defines their collective work.

Morocco Accelerates Nationwide Expansion of Social Protection for Millions of Citizens
Rabat – Morocco's sweeping social protection reform has positioned the country on a transformative path toward a more inclusive and equitable welfare system, according to Hassan Boubrik, Director General of the National Social Security Fund ( CNSS ). In an exclusive interview with MAP, Boubrik praised the initiative as a 'historic leap' in achieving the vision of King Mohammed VI to build a robust social state. 'The generalization of Compulsory Health Insurance (AMO) has allowed millions of Moroccans—regardless of their status—to access healthcare services with dignity and fairness,' Boubrik said. Prior to the reform launched in 2021, only 40% of Moroccans had health coverage. Today, nearly the entire population is covered, including self-employed workers, beneficiaries of AMO TADAMON (formerly RAMED), and others previously left out. This expansion raised the number of insured individuals from 8 million to nearly 25 million in just a few years. The volume of daily processed claims has also grown significantly, from 20,000 to over 110,000. Boubrik emphasized that this reform has not only broadened access but also harmonized benefits. 'Every Moroccan now receives the same care package and reimbursement rates, regardless of their employment or income level,' he noted. The AMO TADAMON program alone covers 11 million people whose contributions are paid by the state. Beneficiaries can now access healthcare in both public and private facilities, while preserving the right to free care in public hospitals. Social Support and Technological Tools The CNSS Director also highlighted the role of direct financial aid to support low-income households, which now reaches 3.8 million families. He credited the Unified Social Registry (RSU) with improving the targeting and efficiency of these programs, calling it a 'crucial and effective mechanism.' Digital platforms like TAAWIDATY and Damancom have been deployed to streamline citizen services, improving access and processing for both individuals and businesses. Despite the successes, Boubrik acknowledged that several challenges remain. Chief among them is ensuring regular contributions from self-employed workers. Out of 1.7 million principal contributors in this group, only 550,000 are currently up to date on their payments. 'This situation creates a risk of anti-selection, where only those in need of care contribute, threatening the system's sustainability,' he warned. Nonetheless, Boubrik noted progress: the contribution rate has risen from 21% to over 42% in less than a year, driven by awareness campaigns and new legal tools. Ensuring Sustainability and Cost Control As demand for healthcare services grows, the CNSS is also focusing on containing costs without compromising quality. Boubrik stressed the need for reform across multiple fronts: lowering medicine prices, enforcing treatment protocols, promoting prevention, and combating fraud. He also emphasized the central role of public hospitals in the national health strategy. 'With significant investments in infrastructure and personnel, the public sector must lead healthcare delivery. It also helps contain costs, given its lower pricing compared to the private sector,' he added. Boubrik concluded by outlining two major reforms set for completion by the end of 2025: unemployment insurance and expanded retirement benefits. 'The government is actively working to meet these deadlines, which are critical to strengthening Morocco's social safety net,' he confirmed. He also announced the upcoming launch of an electronic medical claim system, set to pilot later this year. This innovation aims to simplify procedures for insured individuals and shorten reimbursement timelines. Tags: CNSShealth insuranceMorocco Health Insurance

Kia Joorabchian removes several horses including ‘spectacular' £4.6million Frankel filly from Ralph Beckett yard
They're going to AMO's No1 trainer instead THEY'RE OFF Kia Joorabchian removes several horses including 'spectacular' £4.6million Frankel filly from Ralph Beckett yard Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KIA JOORABCHIAN has moved several horses away from Ralph Beckett — including the unraced £4.6million Frankel filly named Partying. The AMO Racing chief has shipped a number of his string from Kimpton Down Stables to Freemason Lodge where his new trainer Kevin Philippart De Foy has recently moved. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 New AMO Racing trainer Kevin Philippart de Foy has taken delivery of a number of former Ralph Beckett-trained horses, including a record-setting £4.6million Frankel filly Credit: PA It is the second high-profile move to take place in the sport in a few days after a number of horses, including serial Cheltenham winner Ginny's Destiny, left Paul Nicholls for arch rival Nicky Henderson. Joorabchian has left former Irish Oaks heroine You Got To Me with Beckett for now, but has moved on the majority of his horses previously with the Arc-winning handler. De Foy sent out his first runners since his switch to Freemason at Leicester on Wednesday and has also recently received Ghostwriter, who was with Clive Cox. The £2m purchase was red-hot favourite for the Princess Of Wales's Stakes at the Newmarket July meeting earlier this month. But had to be withdrawn after rearing over when being saddled ahead of the 1m4f Group 2 won by Charlie Appleby's El Cordobes. The Belgian trainer recently issued an update on the four-year-old colt, saying: "Everything is fine with Ghostwriter and hopefully he'll be back soon." But it is Partying who is real headline-grabber. She was the most expensive yearling sold in the northern hemisphere last year and is out of the Royal Ascot-winning Shamardal mare Aljazzi. Joorabchian's right-hand man Alex Elliott helped strike the decisive blow at the Tattersalls Book 1 sale last October. And he said at the time: "She's a Frankel filly with that kind of physique from that kind of family. "We've seen Ylang Ylang from the same farm on the same Shamardal cross – we just need history to repeat itself! "I keep saying to people horses will pay you back. "It was a good bit more than we thought we'd have to pay but when Kia and his partners decided that they wanted the filly, they wanted the filly. "She is a spectacular filly, it is a spectacular price, and there's a spectacular bunch of horses here. "I'd like to say I was a cool customer when all that was taking place, but that would be a fib – I have never been in that rarified atmosphere before." De Foy moved to the now-retired Sir Michael Stoute's former base recently after being appointed AMO No1. Speaking of his decision to take on the trainer, who he called a 'perfect fit', football superagent Joorabchian said: "Kevin is a fantastic horseman who understands our goals and shares our ambition. "Having known and worked with him for several years, it makes this transition even smoother. "We know his character fits and our ideas align perfectly. "We believe he's the right person to take the operation to the next level, and we're excited about what's ahead with him leading the team at this historic yard." While De Foy added: "I am deeply honoured to have been entrusted with the responsibility of taking over at Freemason Lodge and training such an exciting string of horses for Amo Racing. "This is a major milestone in my career, and I'm incredibly grateful to Kia and the team for the opportunity. "Amo Racing's investment and ambition in the sport are truly inspiring, and I look forward to playing my part in what I hope will be a very successful journey together."

Ford government's changes to recycling will hasten landfill crisis, municipalities warn
Ontario's shrinking landfill space could run out faster than expected if the Ford government retreats from long-held plans to add two new blue box programs, warns the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. In a letter to Environment Minister Todd McCarthy, AMO president Robin Jones said the suggested changes — including the cancellation of new blue box programs in apartments and condos — would 'exacerbate Ontario's projected landfill capacity crisis, which is expected to reach its limit in less than 10 years.' Landfill controversy is already exploding in Dresden, a southwestern Ontario community where the Premier Doug Ford's controversial new Bill 5 could be used to fast-track the reopening of an inactive landfill site against community wishes — and potentially without a traditional environmental assessment. Posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario in early June, the proposals, if passed, would 'undoubtedly impact waste diversion rates,' Jones said in her letter. Ontario has a previously stated goal of 50 per cent diversion by 2030, which means the province would need to divert an additional 2.5 to 3.8 million tonnes of material, based on 2022 numbers from an AMO report. The Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks suggested three significant changes, citing 'unanticipated' costs affecting producers: To reduce the materials going to landfill, the ministry proposed a percentage could go to 'energy from waste' — also known as incineration or, burning materials to create electricity. A spokesperson for McCarthy said the government 'heard concerns, particularly from small businesses, about unanticipated and unexplained cost increases to meet their obligations under Ontario's producer-run blue box system.' The changes 'will improve transparency' for all producers, said Alexandru Cioban, McCarthy's press secretary. But Jones said the government's proposed retreat undermines the goals of 'extended producer responsibility,' which basically means, 'If you make it, you take it.' Ontario's transition to extended producer responsibility is nearly complete, with producers taking on the cost of programs that collect and recycle the products and packaging they sell. These programs, administered by the not-for-profit 'producer responsibility organization' Circular Materials, take in hazardous waste and electronics as well as traditional blue box materials. In 2022, Ontario generated up to 15.5 million tonnes of non-hazardous waste, which is equivalent to 1.127 tonnes per person, according to AMO's Ontario Baseline Waste and Recycling Report. In Jones's July 7 letter, she said elimination of the planned blue box program in multi-residential buildings will create a 'fragmented 'two-tiered' system' where some Ontarians have access to recycling while others do not. 'Residents rightly expect robust recycling programs and environmental protection, creating an urgent imperative for municipalities to fill these public spaces service gaps,' she wrote. Large cities, she said, are adding thousands of new housing units and those residents 'will be left without access to the common recycling collection system.' Industry insiders say many municipalities stopped buying new trucks or upgrading recycling infrastructure because of the expansion plans. Now that those plans face the prospect of delays or elimination, municipalities are scrambling and will likely be forced to pick up the costs. 'This amendment,' said Jones, 'pulls the rug out from under existing plans.'
