A few weeks ago, we briefly touched on how civil asset forfeiture may apply to Bitcoin, a process in which the Government may seize citizen’s assets without accusing a person of a crime. With the US Government stating that civil asset forfeiture will form a key pillar in building its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration Act of 2023, also known as the FAIR Act, is arguably the most important Bill introduced in Congress today to protect Bitcoin holders from extensive Government overreach. Without it, many may see their bitcoin seized and forfeited on behalf of the Reserve…
The 1990s were a golden era for pop culture, birthing an entirely new wave of fashion trends, TV obsessions, and rising stars. Among them were the “It Girls” — women who captured the zeitgeist of the decade with their beauty, charisma, and presence on red carpets, movie screens, and magazine covers. Whether they were leading teen dramas, headlining box office hits, or dominating tabloids, these stars defined an era. But as trends evolved and Hollywood moved on, many of these once-ubiquitous icons faded from the spotlight. Here are 35 forgotten former ‘It Girls’ of the 1990s and what they’re up…
Uber has announced the nationwide expansion of its pioneering childcare support scheme, offering more than 100,000 drivers across the UK access to free, flexible childcare through a partnership with on-demand childcare platform Bubble. The move follows a successful pilot launched in 2023, which provided 1,000 drivers with a total of 10,000 hours of fully funded childcare.

She wasn’t referring to her own works, yet admirers of the best-selling US author would argue that this is exactly what she has achieved, with acclaimed novels including Bel Canto, and the Pulitzer Prize-shortlisted The Dutch House, along with her award-winning 2005 memoir, Truth and Beauty: A Friendship.

At the start of December, the Ethereum community bootstrapped the new beacon chain proof-of-stake consensus mechanism — the foundation of Ethereum’s long-term and sustainable home. The launch was a resounding success, and the operation of the beacon chain has proved, thus far, stable and robust. As I write these words, the beacon chain is live with more than 2.5M ETH securing its consensus. So this is the “state of eth2” today. But what’s next? What’s on the horizon, and where are we going? This post aims to provide high level context on the state of Ethereum’s eth2 upgrade — an…

Last week, following Iran-backed Hamas’ rejection of America’s proposal to extend the Jan. 19 Gaza ceasefire and release all 59 hostages, the Jewish state resumed military strikes. The renewed fighting makes it all the more important to recall the scope, magnitude, and goal of the jihadists’ surprise attack on the Jewish state on Oct. 7, 2023.

The terrorists killed some 1,200 persons, mostly civilians; raped women; mutilated bodies; kidnapped 251, mostly civilians; and plunged the…
