While the announcement of President al-Assad's decision to step down has been met with cautious optimism, many challenges lie ahead in the path towards a lasting peace in Syria. The country remains deeply divided along political, ethnic, and sectarian lines, and the legacy of the conflict will continue to cast a long shadow over the future of the country. Rebuilding infrastructure, addressing the humanitarian crisis, and ensuring the rights and safety of all Syrians will be daunting tasks that will require the concerted efforts of the international community and the cooperation of all stakeholders involved.

Furthermore, the new regulations play a critical role in raising awareness about domestic violence and promoting a culture of zero tolerance for abuse. By establishing clear standards for evidence of domestic violence, these regulations send a powerful message that violence in the home will not be tolerated.

The Tuesday after Thanksgiving, now known as GivingTuesday, has become a major day for nonprofits to fundraise and otherwise engage their supporters each year, since the 92nd St Y in New York started it as a hashtag in 2012. GivingTuesday has since become an independent nonprofit that connects a worldwide network of leaders and organizations who promote giving in their communities. “This just really shows the generosity, the willingness of American citizens to show up, particularly collectively,” said Asha Curran, CEO of the nonprofit GivingTuesday. “We are just seeing the power of collective action and particularly collective giving over and over and over again.” This year, about 18.5 million people donated to nonprofits and another 9.2 million people volunteered, according to GivingTuesday's estimates. Both the number of donors and the number of volunteers increased by 4% from the group's 2023 estimates. “For us, it’s not just about the number of dollars," Curran said. "It’s about the number of people who feel like they have agency over the way their communities progress forward into the future.” The nonprofit GivingTuesday estimates the amount of money and goods donated and the number of participants using data from donor management software companies, donation platforms, payment processors and donor-advised funds. Curran said they are purposely conservative in their calculations. Nonprofits in the U.S. raised $3.1 billion in both 2022 and 2023 on GivingTuesday. That mirrored larger giving trends where the overall amount of donations dropped in 2022 and mostly held steady in 2023 after accounting for inflation. It’s never easy to predict current giving trends but Una Osili, associate dean at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, said there were economic forces pushing in both directions. “At the very same time, there’s a lot of uncertainty, especially around prices, the cost of living, the supermarket toll that people are expecting continue even though inflation has moderated,” she said. Donating or volunteering with nonprofits aren't the only ways people participate in their communities. Many give to crowdfunding campaigns, political causes or support people directly in their networks. But tracking charitable donations is one way that researchers use to understand people's civic engagement. “This country is undeniably in a lot of pain and very divided right now,” Curran said. “And so to have a day that felt as hopeful and as optimistic as yesterday did, I’m sure was not only comforting to me, but to many, many millions of people.” Associated Press coverage of philanthropy and nonprofits receives support through the AP’s collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

The Canada Science and Technology Museum and the Aviation and Space Museum are running their Winter Wonders program, which offers kids hands-on learning and activities. Eight-year-old Deslie Ndifor was at the aviation museum and learned all about drones, including flying safety and what they can be used for in the Drone's 101 program. Using the technology for the first time, she's already a fan. "I think it's really cool – and now I want a drone," she said in an interview on Saturday. Deslie's uncle Manny Makia says it's a great way for kids to apply things they have already learned. "It mirrors a lot of what they do as far as video games and things like that and so they already have some of the skills that are necessary. And it's good to learn how to apply those skills beyond just playing video games, how those skills are applied in real life," Makia said. The museum also has a tour called The Kuujjuaq Christmas Candy Drop where kids can learn about life in Nunavik, in Quebec's far north, as well as a unique holiday tradition of dropping candy from a bush plane. It's based on the story of a real pilot named Johnny May, which was written into a book. Stephanie Beaudette says it's a great way to teach kids at a young age. "They don't really know a ton about the north, so that was really interesting for them to actually learn it in a fun way, because they're a stuffed animals involved and you learn pretty much anything when there's a stuffed animal involved," Beaudette said. The Canada Science and Technology Museum has its own Winter Wonders programming, featuring sound and music. Visitors like Maddie Bechorner can put skills to the test, playing music on PVC pipes, which the museum says helps kids understand that music can come from many different places, even with every day materials. "I like playing the music because I play some piano," she said. "It makes different sounds than the piano, but the same music." There are also antique music boxes and demonstrations on at various times. Dad Lawson LeBlanc says coming here let's his 15-month-old daughter try new things, even at a young age. "It's just a great environment," he said. "Lots of space for the kids to run around and be able to kind of get rid of their energy and then fall asleep on the way home." The winter programming at the museums will run until Jan. 5. Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.
