Many people claim threading is difficult and I have just discovered what the problem is. You need to have an open mind to be able to engage and make a thread. A closed mind equal no ideas.
That's the truth. I just had a chat with a friend who I referred to inleo a month ago to know why he hasn't been active, his reply was that threading is just too hard for him.
Apparently, businesses in El Salvador are refusing to do business with Bitcoiners, full stop.

Creating a government-mandated amusement park for spoiled, obnoxious foreign tourists can breed resentment.
I grew up in Mexico as a very light-skinned, English-speaking person with an American mother. I sometimes felt hostility, discrimination, and even racial slurs directed at me as a kid.
The power asymmetry dynamics between tourists and expats in Latin America, and the local populace, breeds resentment: they need the money, but want to be treated like human beings and have their culture respected.
The legal tender LARP probably brought in some of the most insufferable that the gringo world has to offer, powered by one of the most annoying-to-use technologies in the world. Was it good for the country? Probably. It brought a lot of money in.
My wife is from a small town in Colorado and of Indian and Spanish (not Latam) descent and got grief from everyone at school. The whites because she wasn't pure white and the mexicans because she wasn't one of them! She loves it here in Scotland as she is now treated like a local!
Damn that is pathetic and sorry to hear. However different areas of Scotland and nasty to other areas. I have been called many a name and worse when I have ventured to areas that have different religion to me!

HMS Dreadnaught, battleship with innovative design that made all other battleships obsolete and forced all the world's powers to build their own version that would be called dreadnaughts. Although built with specific aim to engage enemy surface capital ship, HMS Dreadnought saw relatively little action in WW1, except in case of ramming German submarine U-29 in 1915, becoming the only battleship to do so. The ship was decommissioned and sold fro scrap in 1921.#historyonleo #onthisday On February 10th 1906 British Royal Navy launches

“This bill will ensure that our missile defense systems are not only current but robust enough to protect from any potential attack, no matter where it might originate,” Cramer stated.
Besides expanding existing projects, the legislation includes funds for modernizing terrestrial-based domain awareness radars, developing directed energy missile interception capabilities, and completing Hawaii’s Aegis Ashore system.
Additional resources are allocated to enhance readiness at missile defense complexes and plan for a new East Coast-based interceptor site at Fort Drum, New York.
As the IRON DOME Act moves forward, its proponents hope to garner support from both sides, recognizing that national security is a shared priority.
The balance of forces did not last. Returning to Athens as an old man in 561, Solon witnessed Peisistratus become a tyrant. He died two years later and his ashes were scattered around the Island of Salamis. When the last tyrant, Hippias, was exiled in 510 B.C, the first act of the Athenian government was to re-institute the laws of Solon.
Shari Franke, the eldest daughter of imprisoned “momfluencer” Ruby Franke, is an outspoken advocate against the dangers of family vlogging. In her memoir, "The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom", Shari details her troubling experiences as a child influencer. She reflects on the damaging effects of vlogging, stating that the constant pressure to create content deprived her of a normal childhood, leading to lost friendships and public exposure of her most personal moments. Shari asserts that family vlogging "ruined my innocence" long before the criminal actions of her mother came to light, emphasizing her belief that these experiences are not isolated but affect many young influencers across the country.
The fallout from Ruby Franke's criminal case brought significant changes to Shari's life. Following her mother's arrest for child abuse alongside family counselor Jodi Hildebrandt, Shari has sought to champion child welfare and advocate for legislative reforms regarding family vlogging. Her reflections on her childhood highlight a sense of loss—not only of innocence but also of privacy, as family moments were shared with millions online. As she publicizes her story, Shari emphasizes the need for protective measures for child influencers, stating that her experiences are not isolated but rather indicative of broader issues affecting many young people in similar situations.
As a devoted mother to Lyle and Erik, Kitty attempted to manage the complexities of her family life amidst a deteriorating marriage plagued by José's infidelity and her own struggles with substance abuse. While she initially embraced her role as a homemaker, her later years were marked by personal despair, leading to multiple suicide attempts. Kitty’s relationships within the family, particularly her interactions with her sons, became a pivotal part of the shocking narrative surrounding their future crimes. Her life, filled with both glamour and hidden turmoil, remains a poignant reminder of the complexities of familial bonds and the tragic unraveling of the Menendez family dynamics.
I have written several articles about the Polis -- mainly focused on pieces of its history. It’s hard to put the tell the whole story given the space limits of a blog, but I’ve decided to make the attempt here because the Polis is so important to Western Civilization as the model for modern political systems and Democracy. We’ll conserve space by sticking to the main inflection points in its history – the forces that propelled its development forward.
One more thing. We discuss the Polis generically until the rise of Athens because its evolution occurred across the Greek peninsula. One of the reasons for the success of the Polis was the number of cities and towns that served as laboratories for its development. Eventually Athens would become the standard and take the structure of the Polis to its endpoint.
Kitty Menendez, born Mary Louise Andersen, married José Menendez in 1963 when he was just 19 years old. Their initial years together were marked by romance and ambition as they settled into life in New York City. Kitty, who had initially planned to pursue a career in acting, chose to become a full-time housewife after the birth of their two sons, Lyle and Erik. While José built a career that led to financial success, Kitty dedicated herself to raising their boys, often showering them with affection to compensate for José’s long working hours. However, the family dynamic soon became strained due to José's relentless work schedule and infidelity.
The instability within their relationship didn’t just impact Kitty’s mental state but also had cascading effects on her sons, Lyle and Erik. As she attempted to maintain an image of the perfect family amidst personal crises, the tensions within the Menendez household escalated. Kitty's substance abuse became a problem not only for her but also for the boys, who felt neglected and trapped in a dysfunctional family dynamic. The complexities of Kitty’s life, rooted in her husband's infidelity and her resulting struggles, ultimately contributed to the tragic events that unfolded in 1989, culminating in a shocking crime that would haunt the family’s legacy.
Kitty Menendez's life took a tragic turn that became central to the shocking case involving her sons, Lyle and Erik Menendez. Following the brutal murder of their parents on August 20, 1989, the brothers claimed they acted in self-defense due to years of alleged abuse. During their trials, they accused Kitty of having a disturbing relationship with them, suggesting that she abused them physically and psychologically, as well as making inappropriate sexual advances. Lyle testified that Kitty had invited him to bed and behaved inappropriately from an early age. These allegations painted a troubling picture of a family marred by dysfunction and trauma.
As the family grew, so did the complexities of their home life. José's infidelity took a significant toll on Kitty, who became increasingly dependent on drugs and alcohol, battling depression and feelings of inadequacy. Despite her efforts to provide a nurturing environment for Lyle and Erik, her struggles behind closed doors cast a long shadow over their upbringing. This often led to overindulging her sons while attempting to shield them from the discontent in her marriage, creating an environment that could be termed “loving yet tumultuous.” As tensions escalated within the family, Kitty’s challenges ultimately intertwined with her sons’ tragic fate.
Throughout his career, Amorth became a vocal advocate for the practice of exorcism, co-founding the International Association of Exorcists in 1990 to train and inspire fellow priests. Despite his serious vocation, he maintained a sense of humor and skepticism, often differentiating between mental health issues and true demonic possession. His remarkable accounts include instances of patients displaying superhuman strength and other dramatic symptoms during exorcisms. Amorth's influence extended beyond the church, as he authored several books, including "An Exorcist Tells His Story," and was featured in documentaries, solidifying his legacy as one of the most famous exorcists in modern history.
It wasn't until his apprenticeship under the Vatican exorcist Rev. Candido Amantini that Amorth began to immerse himself in the art of exorcism. Following Amantini's death in 1992, Amorth fully embraced the responsibilities of his role, performing a staggering number of exorcisms throughout his tenure. With the establishment of the International Association of Exorcists in 1990, Amorth sought to inspire and equip other priests in the practice. His unique blend of humor and skepticism, along with a genuine commitment to his faith, made him a notable and sometimes controversial figure in the realm of spiritual warfare.
Gabriele Amorth, a prominent figure in the world of exorcism, authored several notable books that detail his experiences and beliefs concerning demonic possession. Among his most recognized works is "An Exorcist Tells His Story," published in 1999, where he shares compelling accounts and insights from his extensive career. In this book, Amorth discusses the psychological and spiritual battles that exorcists face, alongside narratives that illustrate the nature of demonic affliction. His second book, "An Exorcist: More Stories," released in 2002, continues this exploration and provides readers with further accounts of exorcism, revealing his deep commitment to his spiritual vocation.
Throughout his life, Amorth maintained a spiritual family within the religious community. His deep involvement with the Congregation of the Society of St. Paul and later as the founder of the International Association of Exorcists connected him with many like-minded individuals dedicated to the practice of exorcism and the support of those afflicted by darkness. Despite not having a biological family, Amorth’s legacy contributed to a larger spiritual family focused on the faith, breaking down barriers for the acceptance and understanding of exorcisms within various communities around the world.
Chris Watts was born on May 16, 1983, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He grew up in a loving family, the son of Cindy and Ronnie Watts. He attended high school in North Carolina, where he was known for being shy but relatively well-liked among his peers. After graduating, Chris pursued a career in the oil industry, which later brought him to Colorado for work. His early life was marked by a blend of ordinary experiences, including playing sports and building friendships, which formed the foundation for his adult life, although his later actions starkly contrasted his seemingly normal upbringing.
The Watts family welcomed their first child, Bella, on December 17, 2013, followed by their second daughter, Celeste, in July 2015. As they navigated parenthood, the couple’s life appeared idyllic to outsiders, characterized by Shan’ann's vibrant Facebook posts that celebrated their family adventures. Despite some financial challenges, including filing for bankruptcy in 2015, the couple strived to build a joyful home in Frederick, Colorado. Unfortunately, beneath the facade of a happy family, cracks were beginning to form in Chris and Shan’ann's marriage, setting the stage for a tragic turning point in their lives.
By 1100 B.C, Mycenae had fallen, dragging the Greek world into its own version of the Dark Ages. It took three hundred years to recover. During those three centuries, slowly but surely, a political system was created.
The consequences of Watts' actions were swift and severe. By August 21, 2018, he was formally charged with three counts of first-degree murder and several other charges related to the brutal killings. In November 2018, he accepted a plea deal, which led to a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Judge Marcelo Kopcow highlighted the case as “perhaps the most inhumane and vicious crime” he had encountered. The sentencing not only underscored the gravity of his crimes but also served as a grim reminder of the tragic loss faced by Shan’ann's family, who later won a civil suit against him, resulting in a $6 million judgment.
Chris Watts, prior to the tragic events of August 2018, worked as an operator for Anadarko Petroleum, earning a substantial income with a reported combined household income of around $90,000. However, this financial stability was a façade, as the Watts family faced severe financial difficulties. In June 2015, they filed for bankruptcy, burdened by overwhelming debt from credit cards, student loans, and medical bills. Their expenses, including a $3,000 mortgage and a $600 car payment, accounted for most of their monthly income, indicating a precarious financial situation masked by their outward appearance of a normal suburban lifestyle.
Clyde’s criminal escapades escalated dramatically after he met Bonnie Parker in January 1930. Their passionate romance flourished despite his incarceration for auto theft, during which Bonnie famously smuggled a weapon to facilitate his escape. After his release, Clyde formed a gang and resumed criminal activities, leading to a violent spree that resulted in multiple murders and intense law enforcement pursuits. Despite many attempts to evade capture, Clyde's notoriety continued to grow, fueled by media coverage of their exploits, which ultimately culminated in a dramatic shootout that claimed both his life and that of Bonnie Parker on May 23, 1934. Their story remains a captivating chapter in American criminal history, perpetually romanticized through film and popular culture.
Clyde's early ambitions were overshadowed as he fell under the influence of his older brother, Buck, leading him down a path of crime. Initially dabbling in petty thievery, he soon graduated to stealing cars and eventually armed robbery. By the end of 1929, at just 20 years old, Clyde was already a fugitive. His early encounters with crime laid the groundwork for his later notorious partnership with Bonnie Parker, marking the beginning of his transformation from a boy with musical dreams to a legendary outlaw in American folklore.
Clyde Barrow, infamously known as one half of the notorious criminal duo Bonnie and Clyde, orchestrated a deadly crime spree with his partner that captivated the U.S. public during the early 1930s. After reuniting with Bonnie Parker following his prison release in February 1932, Clyde abandoned any intentions of living a legitimate life. Instead, he formed a gang and led a series of robberies targeting banks and small businesses. His criminal activities became increasingly violent, resulting in the deaths of a police officer and a store owner, which solidified his status as a highly wanted fugitive.
Even as a dead end, the Basileus was important to the future development of the Polis because it was the first structural element of an non-hereditary authority – a building block of the future Polis.
In the first half of the Archaic Period, which began in 800 B.C, the threads of the new political system became tighter as a result of two forces: aristocratic power and the unification of the lower class. In the former case, the aristocrats became a power class by banding together based on common interests and employing administrative types to carry out the operations of a rudimentary government.
Concurrently, the tactical view of battle evolved and the Phalanx became the Greek’s prime military formation. As I have discussed in previous articles, the Phalanx gave power to the common people because it was a large scale military organization of equals. One they realized what they had, the people began asking for a part in government. The result was power sharing between themselves and the aristocrats.
Once reunited, Bonnie joined Clyde in his life of crime, becoming an active participant in their notorious escapades. Their partnership was not merely romantic; it was a co-adventurous alliance fraught with danger. Together, they navigated the stark realities of being fugitives from the law, robbing banks and evading capture. Their love was nurtured through letters during Clyde's imprisonment, reinforcing their commitment to one another. As they traveled across states, they cultivated a mythical persona, symbolizing a modern-day Robin Hood duo caught in the throes of the Great Depression. Their story remains a symbol of rebellious love against the backdrop of American lawlessness, capturing the imagination of generations to come.
Hamer’s journey is marked by bravery and resilience. After registering to vote in 1962, she faced severe repercussions, including being fired from her job and forced to leave the plantation she had worked on for years. However, these challenges only fueled her determination to lead voter registration drives and community organizing initiatives. Throughout her activism, Hamer faced violent reprisals, including physical abuse and threats to her life. Her legacy continues to inspire generations as she championed not only civil rights but also efforts to improve economic opportunities and family support services for marginalized communities. Hamer's powerful voice and dedication to justice make her a symbol of the ongoing fight for equality in the United States.
Fannie Lou Hamer emerged as a fearless leader during the civil rights movement, particularly known for her tireless efforts in registering voters and advocating for African American rights. In the summer of 1962, Hamer attended a meeting organized by the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which motivated her to take action against the inequalities faced by her community. On August 31, 1962, she traveled to the Indianola county courthouse with 17 others to register to vote, facing fierce opposition from law enforcement that resulted in only Hamer and another individual being allowed to complete their applications. This act of bravery led to her dismissal from her job and forced her out of her home, yet it only intensified her commitment to civil rights activism.
In 1964, Hamer played a crucial role in founding the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), a response to the all-white delegation dominating the state’s representation at the Democratic National Convention. Her riveting testimony during the televised convention drew national attention to the civil rights struggle in Mississippi and underscored the need for fair representation. Hamer's work did not stop at voter registration; she also championed various initiatives that created business opportunities for minorities and supported family welfare. In her later years, she co-founded the National Women’s Political Caucus in 1971, further cementing her legacy as an advocate for social justice and activism in the face of adversity.

Although Fannie could not have children of her own, she and her husband adopted children, creating a loving home filled with support and encouragement. Their family life was interwoven with Fannie’s commitment to civil rights activism, as she often took her fight for justice into the household, instilling values of equality and perseverance in her children. Fannie Lou Hamer's legacy as a devoted wife and mother exemplified her ability to balance personal challenges with an unwavering commitment to her community, leaving a profound impact on both her family and the civil rights movement.
The stunning turn of events appears to signal the end of the years-long criminal probe into Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign that has hung over Hizzoner’s head during his scandal-plagued first term in office.
Adams, 64, who was indicted in September, was accused of accepting thousands of dollars in free or upgraded luxury travel as bribes from foreign nationals in exchange for political favors, including helping fast-track the opening of the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan.
As senior Archon, Solon chose to proceed quietly to administer so as to
Not disturb or overset the state
Because if he did he would not have sufficient power to re-constitute and organize again. To rule properly, Solon thought it best to “Combine force and justice together”.
So he started changing Laws. What laws? Nearly all of them.
Solon cancelled all debts and obligations in Athens. He repealed the dreaded Draconian criminal code and substituted his own. Then he wrote a new constitution. Those born of free Attican parents would become citizens of Athens.
Shari's journey through adolescence was marked by the lingering effects of family vlogging, which she later described as having "ruined" her innocence. Despite being in the public eye, she struggled with feelings of isolation, losing friends and normal childhood experiences due to the demands of their online presence. Her interactions with Ruby were often complicated, filled with both love and fear. These complexities were explored in her book, where she addresses the mental and emotional toll of growing up in a family that prioritized entertainment over well-being. Shari's narrative serves as a cautionary tale about the ramifications of family vlogging on children, highlighting the need for greater awareness and legislative reform in this emerging digital landscape.
In her memoir and public statements, Shari has addressed the profound impact of family vlogging on her childhood, describing how it “ruined my innocence” and led to feelings of isolation from peers. She has been vocal about the need for regulations for family vloggers to protect young children from exploitation and to ensure their privacy. Her advocacy also extends to calling for legal reforms in child welfare, as she believes many children in similar situations are suffering in silence. Shari Franke’s powerful voice and commitment to change have positioned her as an important figure in the discussions surrounding child influencers and the consequences of family vlogging.
Was there a TV series based on Gianni Versace's life?
Yes, a television series titled "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" premiered in 2018. It depicted the events surrounding his murder and explored his life and career. Although the series was based on factual events, the Versace family distanced themselves from it, emphasizing that it should be regarded as a fictional interpretation rather than an authorized account.
Gianni Versace designed for a host of international stars, including Madonna, Princess Diana, Elton John, and Tina Turner. His connections with these celebrities helped elevate the brand's status and showed the significant impact of celebrity culture on fashion. One of his most famous creations, a safety pin dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley, further solidified his reputation in the fashion world.
When did Gianni Versace die?
Gianni Versace was tragically murdered on July 15, 1997, outside his home in South Beach, Florida. He was shot by Andrew Cunanan, a serial killer who took his own life shortly after. Versace's death shocked the fashion industry and left a lasting legacy of his contributions to design and popular culture.
Net Worth and Earnings: $807 Million Empire
Gianni Versace, one of the most iconic fashion designers of the late 20th century, built a remarkable empire valued at approximately $807 million before his untimely death in 1997. Known for his bold and glamorous designs, Versace revolutionized the fashion industry by blending high fashion with pop culture sensibilities. His strategic vision not only established him as a household name but also attracted a wide clientele, including celebrities like Madonna and Elton John. The brand became synonymous with luxury, appealing to both the elite and the mainstream fashion markets.
It is said also that a saying which he had let fall some time before, that "equality does not breed strife," was much circulated at the time, and pleased both parties, because the rich thought it meant that property should be distributed according to merit and desert, while the poor thought it meant according to rule and measure. Both parties were now elate with hope, and their leaders urged Solon to seize the supreme power in the state, of which he was practically possessed, and make himself king.”
But Phanias of Lesbos says that Solon deceived both parties, in order to save the state, promising the poor a redistribution of lands, and the rich a confirmation of their securities. However, Solon himself tells us that it was with reluctance that he interfered, as he was threatened by the avarice of the one party, and the desperation of the other. He was chosen Archon next after Philombrotus (594 B.C.), to act as an arbitrator and lawgiver at once, because the rich had confidence in him as a man of easy fortune, and the poor trusted him as a good man.

$500 million to research and develop directed energy or missile interception capabilities across all military departments
Sullivan noted that this new legislation builds upon the 2022 Missile Defense Review recommendations and aims to enhance overall defense architecture through significant investments in new technologies and infrastructure.
He described it as essential in safeguarding Americans against an evolving array of missile threats.
The legislation includes a proposed allocation of $12 billion to expand interceptor fields at Fort Greely in Alaska.
By 600 B.C, Athenian politics was in complete disarray. The last decades had seen their pottery trade fall behind its Corinthian competition, and the aristocratic class had become more ruthless. Poor farmers became serfs of the rich when they could not pay their debts, and the landless were enslaved and sold abroad. Territorial groups could not be controlled by the weak central government.
Throughout his illustrious career, Versace's contributions to the fashion world were numerous and significant, earning him several prestigious awards that marked his influence and artistry. He received multiple L'Occhio d'Oros, as well as an American Fashion Oscar in 1993, acknowledging his outstanding achievements in design. Versace's work extended beyond traditional clothing, with costume designs for ballets and stage performances that garnered critical acclaim. His commitment to creativity and innovation paved the way for future collaborations between fashion and the music industry, forever changing how the two worlds intersected. Overall, Gianni Versace's legacy is defined by his ability to revolutionize fashion with his unique vision and fierce dedication to artistry.
The military mindset of Sparta manifested itself in other more eccentric ways. The mess was an institutionalized meal ritual among Homoioi designed to create camaraderie between them . Each Spartiate ate his meals with the same men he fought beside in war and each man was required to contribute food to the mess on a monthly basis. It has been written that Lycurgus got the idea for the mess from a visit to Crete where he saw it in action, but Crete is not the only example of this ritual in antiquity.
The first Ephors, of whom Elatus was one, were elected during the reign of Theopompus” circa 675 B.C. The five Ephors were administrators elected for one year who were granted power greater than the kings with regards to the management of Spartan society, although in military matters, the kings were supreme. Speculation is that the Ephors were originally part of the king’s staff, but spun off as a separate governmental unit to reduce royal authority.
ianni Versace was born on December 2, 1946, in Reggio di Calabria, Italy, into a family deeply rooted in the world of design. His mother, a skilled dressmaker, ran her own dressmaking business, which made fashion a prominent part of his early life. From a young age, Versace was immersed in textiles and garment construction, often witnessing the intricate details of the design process as his mother crafted beautiful garments. This formative experience sparked his passion for fashion, and he began assisting her after completing high school, absorbing valuable lessons that would later influence his own creations.
The second body of government was the Ecclesia or Assembly, made up of all members of the Spartan army (hoplites). These members were referred to as Homoioi. Remarkably, the Assembly was mandated by the Rhetra (pronouncement of the Oracle) of Lycurgus near the end of the 8th century B.C, making it the first citizen legislative body in history.
Plutarch tells us what happened next. “Even though these changes had the effect of mixing the several powers of the state, successor generations, seeing that the powers of the oligarchy were unimpaired, and that it was, as Plato calls it, full of life and vigor, placed as a curb to it the power of the Ephors.
According to our sources, thirty thousand lots were granted to the Perioeci (neighboring villages) and nine thousand (later twelve thousand) to Spartiates.
One wonders about the land distribution and it impetus. What factor would have caused the rich to share their land? While the formation of a Council of Elders and Assembly are logical, even inevitable, the redistribution of land is not. There answer of course is that the rich did not give up their land. The land distribution was public land similar to the Roman agar publicus. There was still private land held onto by the rich. Embedded in the land distribution somewhere is the relationship between Sparta and Messenia, the territory of fertile lands west of the Taygetos Mountains.
North Carolina has taken a major step toward integrating Bitcoin into state financial strategies. House Speaker Destin Hall has introduced HB 92, a bill that proposes allowing the state to allocate funds into Bitcoin-related investments. This move follows similar efforts by multiple states like Kentucky and Florida, which have also proposed legislation to invest public funds in digital assets.
In a previous post (June 2009), I discussed Lycurgus and his influence over the development of the Spartan political system. I described him as a shadowy figure who may never have existed. Rather than speculate about Lycurgus as a person and his influence over the Spartan political system, I would like to focus now on the system itself, its development and the forces that pushed it forward.
The most cohesive story of that time was contained in Plutarch’s life of Lycurgus, which attributes the Spartan government to that great lawgiver. Many of his facts have been questioned and much may have come from Plato – a biased source writing centuries later – but still it’s a place to start.
Musk, who is a top adviser to President Donald Trump, is in the midst of a heated legal and public relations battle with Altman. They were two of the co-founders of OpenAI in 2015, establishing the entity as a nonprofit focused on AI research.
OpenAI has since emerged as a giant in generative AI, launching ChatGPT in 2022 and setting off a wave of investment in new tools and infrastructure for next-generation AI products and services. SoftBank is close to finalizing a $40 billion investment in OpenAI at a $260 billion valuation, sources told CNBC's David Faber last week.
House Speaker Destin Hall, one of North Carolina’s most influential lawmakers, personally introduced HB 92. The bill aims to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by allocating up to 10% of the state’s funds into Bitcoin-related exchange-traded products.
The proposal also includes provisions for state-managed funds, such as pensions for teachers and state employees, veterans’ home trust funds, and insurance funds.
The legislation is co-sponsored by Representatives Mark Brody and Steve Ross, both known for their previous work in shaping cryptocurrency regulations. Dan Spuller, Head of Industry Affairs at the Blockchain Association, confirmed that he advised officials on the bill. He emphasized that this proposal is “not just a messaging bill” but part of an active effort to integrate Bitcoin into North Carolina’s financial framework.

We're big fans of the "just works" experience in crypto. In fact, we invented it.
Flexa is showing this off in a new video. This is how it can look in regular retail payments.
Might be nice to see this available with Dash... 🤔

Yesterday I tried to send dash to a platform and it asked (mDash) only
Is it the same like dash or what
If I sent Dash it will transfered
Which platform was this?
It is the same cryptocurrency, it's a different denomination. So 1 Dash = 1000 mDash.
Here's the video:
Many people claim threading is difficult and I have just discovered what the problem is. You need to have an open mind to be able to engage and make a thread. A closed mind equal no ideas.

That's the truth. I just had a chat with a friend who I referred to inleo a month ago to know why he hasn't been active, his reply was that threading is just too hard for him.

Apparently, businesses in El Salvador are refusing to do business with Bitcoiners, full stop.
Run into the average Bitcoin maxi, and you'll understand.
Creating a government-mandated amusement park for spoiled, obnoxious foreign tourists can breed resentment.
I grew up in Mexico as a very light-skinned, English-speaking person with an American mother. I sometimes felt hostility, discrimination, and even racial slurs directed at me as a kid.
The power asymmetry dynamics between tourists and expats in Latin America, and the local populace, breeds resentment: they need the money, but want to be treated like human beings and have their culture respected.
The legal tender LARP probably brought in some of the most insufferable that the gringo world has to offer, powered by one of the most annoying-to-use technologies in the world. Was it good for the country? Probably. It brought a lot of money in.
Not everyone may be happy with the deal though.

My wife is from a small town in Colorado and of Indian and Spanish (not Latam) descent and got grief from everyone at school. The whites because she wasn't pure white and the mexicans because she wasn't one of them! She loves it here in Scotland as she is now treated like a local!
Interestingly enough, when I visited Scotland, my girlfriend at the time was Japanese, and got called "yellow" by random locals.
Damn that is pathetic and sorry to hear. However different areas of Scotland and nasty to other areas. I have been called many a name and worse when I have ventured to areas that have different religion to me!

“This bill will ensure that our missile defense systems are not only current but robust enough to protect from any potential attack, no matter where it might originate,” Cramer stated.
Besides expanding existing projects, the legislation includes funds for modernizing terrestrial-based domain awareness radars, developing directed energy missile interception capabilities, and completing Hawaii’s Aegis Ashore system.
Additional resources are allocated to enhance readiness at missile defense complexes and plan for a new East Coast-based interceptor site at Fort Drum, New York.
As the IRON DOME Act moves forward, its proponents hope to garner support from both sides, recognizing that national security is a shared priority.
The balance of forces did not last. Returning to Athens as an old man in 561, Solon witnessed Peisistratus become a tyrant. He died two years later and his ashes were scattered around the Island of Salamis. When the last tyrant, Hippias, was exiled in 510 B.C, the first act of the Athenian government was to re-institute the laws of Solon.
Shari Franke, the eldest daughter of imprisoned “momfluencer” Ruby Franke, is an outspoken advocate against the dangers of family vlogging. In her memoir, "The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom", Shari details her troubling experiences as a child influencer. She reflects on the damaging effects of vlogging, stating that the constant pressure to create content deprived her of a normal childhood, leading to lost friendships and public exposure of her most personal moments. Shari asserts that family vlogging "ruined my innocence" long before the criminal actions of her mother came to light, emphasizing her belief that these experiences are not isolated but affect many young influencers across the country.
!summarize #disney #starwars #trilogy #disneyland #bobiger
The fallout from Ruby Franke's criminal case brought significant changes to Shari's life. Following her mother's arrest for child abuse alongside family counselor Jodi Hildebrandt, Shari has sought to champion child welfare and advocate for legislative reforms regarding family vlogging. Her reflections on her childhood highlight a sense of loss—not only of innocence but also of privacy, as family moments were shared with millions online. As she publicizes her story, Shari emphasizes the need for protective measures for child influencers, stating that her experiences are not isolated but rather indicative of broader issues affecting many young people in similar situations.
As a devoted mother to Lyle and Erik, Kitty attempted to manage the complexities of her family life amidst a deteriorating marriage plagued by José's infidelity and her own struggles with substance abuse. While she initially embraced her role as a homemaker, her later years were marked by personal despair, leading to multiple suicide attempts. Kitty’s relationships within the family, particularly her interactions with her sons, became a pivotal part of the shocking narrative surrounding their future crimes. Her life, filled with both glamour and hidden turmoil, remains a poignant reminder of the complexities of familial bonds and the tragic unraveling of the Menendez family dynamics.
I have written several articles about the Polis -- mainly focused on pieces of its history. It’s hard to put the tell the whole story given the space limits of a blog, but I’ve decided to make the attempt here because the Polis is so important to Western Civilization as the model for modern political systems and Democracy. We’ll conserve space by sticking to the main inflection points in its history – the forces that propelled its development forward.
One more thing. We discuss the Polis generically until the rise of Athens because its evolution occurred across the Greek peninsula. One of the reasons for the success of the Polis was the number of cities and towns that served as laboratories for its development. Eventually Athens would become the standard and take the structure of the Polis to its endpoint.

Kitty Menendez, born Mary Louise Andersen, married José Menendez in 1963 when he was just 19 years old. Their initial years together were marked by romance and ambition as they settled into life in New York City. Kitty, who had initially planned to pursue a career in acting, chose to become a full-time housewife after the birth of their two sons, Lyle and Erik. While José built a career that led to financial success, Kitty dedicated herself to raising their boys, often showering them with affection to compensate for José’s long working hours. However, the family dynamic soon became strained due to José's relentless work schedule and infidelity.
The instability within their relationship didn’t just impact Kitty’s mental state but also had cascading effects on her sons, Lyle and Erik. As she attempted to maintain an image of the perfect family amidst personal crises, the tensions within the Menendez household escalated. Kitty's substance abuse became a problem not only for her but also for the boys, who felt neglected and trapped in a dysfunctional family dynamic. The complexities of Kitty’s life, rooted in her husband's infidelity and her resulting struggles, ultimately contributed to the tragic events that unfolded in 1989, culminating in a shocking crime that would haunt the family’s legacy.
Kitty Menendez's life took a tragic turn that became central to the shocking case involving her sons, Lyle and Erik Menendez. Following the brutal murder of their parents on August 20, 1989, the brothers claimed they acted in self-defense due to years of alleged abuse. During their trials, they accused Kitty of having a disturbing relationship with them, suggesting that she abused them physically and psychologically, as well as making inappropriate sexual advances. Lyle testified that Kitty had invited him to bed and behaved inappropriately from an early age. These allegations painted a troubling picture of a family marred by dysfunction and trauma.
As the family grew, so did the complexities of their home life. José's infidelity took a significant toll on Kitty, who became increasingly dependent on drugs and alcohol, battling depression and feelings of inadequacy. Despite her efforts to provide a nurturing environment for Lyle and Erik, her struggles behind closed doors cast a long shadow over their upbringing. This often led to overindulging her sons while attempting to shield them from the discontent in her marriage, creating an environment that could be termed “loving yet tumultuous.” As tensions escalated within the family, Kitty’s challenges ultimately intertwined with her sons’ tragic fate.
Throughout his career, Amorth became a vocal advocate for the practice of exorcism, co-founding the International Association of Exorcists in 1990 to train and inspire fellow priests. Despite his serious vocation, he maintained a sense of humor and skepticism, often differentiating between mental health issues and true demonic possession. His remarkable accounts include instances of patients displaying superhuman strength and other dramatic symptoms during exorcisms. Amorth's influence extended beyond the church, as he authored several books, including "An Exorcist Tells His Story," and was featured in documentaries, solidifying his legacy as one of the most famous exorcists in modern history.
!summarize #shopify #store #setup #business #shopping
!summarize #trudeau #canada #unitedstates #economy
!summarize #alzheimers #disease #brain
It wasn't until his apprenticeship under the Vatican exorcist Rev. Candido Amantini that Amorth began to immerse himself in the art of exorcism. Following Amantini's death in 1992, Amorth fully embraced the responsibilities of his role, performing a staggering number of exorcisms throughout his tenure. With the establishment of the International Association of Exorcists in 1990, Amorth sought to inspire and equip other priests in the practice. His unique blend of humor and skepticism, along with a genuine commitment to his faith, made him a notable and sometimes controversial figure in the realm of spiritual warfare.
Gabriele Amorth, a prominent figure in the world of exorcism, authored several notable books that detail his experiences and beliefs concerning demonic possession. Among his most recognized works is "An Exorcist Tells His Story," published in 1999, where he shares compelling accounts and insights from his extensive career. In this book, Amorth discusses the psychological and spiritual battles that exorcists face, alongside narratives that illustrate the nature of demonic affliction. His second book, "An Exorcist: More Stories," released in 2002, continues this exploration and provides readers with further accounts of exorcism, revealing his deep commitment to his spiritual vocation.
Throughout his life, Amorth maintained a spiritual family within the religious community. His deep involvement with the Congregation of the Society of St. Paul and later as the founder of the International Association of Exorcists connected him with many like-minded individuals dedicated to the practice of exorcism and the support of those afflicted by darkness. Despite not having a biological family, Amorth’s legacy contributed to a larger spiritual family focused on the faith, breaking down barriers for the acceptance and understanding of exorcisms within various communities around the world.

Chris Watts was born on May 16, 1983, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He grew up in a loving family, the son of Cindy and Ronnie Watts. He attended high school in North Carolina, where he was known for being shy but relatively well-liked among his peers. After graduating, Chris pursued a career in the oil industry, which later brought him to Colorado for work. His early life was marked by a blend of ordinary experiences, including playing sports and building friendships, which formed the foundation for his adult life, although his later actions starkly contrasted his seemingly normal upbringing.
The Watts family welcomed their first child, Bella, on December 17, 2013, followed by their second daughter, Celeste, in July 2015. As they navigated parenthood, the couple’s life appeared idyllic to outsiders, characterized by Shan’ann's vibrant Facebook posts that celebrated their family adventures. Despite some financial challenges, including filing for bankruptcy in 2015, the couple strived to build a joyful home in Frederick, Colorado. Unfortunately, beneath the facade of a happy family, cracks were beginning to form in Chris and Shan’ann's marriage, setting the stage for a tragic turning point in their lives.
By 1100 B.C, Mycenae had fallen, dragging the Greek world into its own version of the Dark Ages. It took three hundred years to recover. During those three centuries, slowly but surely, a political system was created.
The consequences of Watts' actions were swift and severe. By August 21, 2018, he was formally charged with three counts of first-degree murder and several other charges related to the brutal killings. In November 2018, he accepted a plea deal, which led to a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Judge Marcelo Kopcow highlighted the case as “perhaps the most inhumane and vicious crime” he had encountered. The sentencing not only underscored the gravity of his crimes but also served as a grim reminder of the tragic loss faced by Shan’ann's family, who later won a civil suit against him, resulting in a $6 million judgment.
Chris Watts, prior to the tragic events of August 2018, worked as an operator for Anadarko Petroleum, earning a substantial income with a reported combined household income of around $90,000. However, this financial stability was a façade, as the Watts family faced severe financial difficulties. In June 2015, they filed for bankruptcy, burdened by overwhelming debt from credit cards, student loans, and medical bills. Their expenses, including a $3,000 mortgage and a $600 car payment, accounted for most of their monthly income, indicating a precarious financial situation masked by their outward appearance of a normal suburban lifestyle.
Clyde’s criminal escapades escalated dramatically after he met Bonnie Parker in January 1930. Their passionate romance flourished despite his incarceration for auto theft, during which Bonnie famously smuggled a weapon to facilitate his escape. After his release, Clyde formed a gang and resumed criminal activities, leading to a violent spree that resulted in multiple murders and intense law enforcement pursuits. Despite many attempts to evade capture, Clyde's notoriety continued to grow, fueled by media coverage of their exploits, which ultimately culminated in a dramatic shootout that claimed both his life and that of Bonnie Parker on May 23, 1934. Their story remains a captivating chapter in American criminal history, perpetually romanticized through film and popular culture.
Clyde's early ambitions were overshadowed as he fell under the influence of his older brother, Buck, leading him down a path of crime. Initially dabbling in petty thievery, he soon graduated to stealing cars and eventually armed robbery. By the end of 1929, at just 20 years old, Clyde was already a fugitive. His early encounters with crime laid the groundwork for his later notorious partnership with Bonnie Parker, marking the beginning of his transformation from a boy with musical dreams to a legendary outlaw in American folklore.

Clyde Barrow, infamously known as one half of the notorious criminal duo Bonnie and Clyde, orchestrated a deadly crime spree with his partner that captivated the U.S. public during the early 1930s. After reuniting with Bonnie Parker following his prison release in February 1932, Clyde abandoned any intentions of living a legitimate life. Instead, he formed a gang and led a series of robberies targeting banks and small businesses. His criminal activities became increasingly violent, resulting in the deaths of a police officer and a store owner, which solidified his status as a highly wanted fugitive.

Even as a dead end, the Basileus was important to the future development of the Polis because it was the first structural element of an non-hereditary authority – a building block of the future Polis.
In the first half of the Archaic Period, which began in 800 B.C, the threads of the new political system became tighter as a result of two forces: aristocratic power and the unification of the lower class. In the former case, the aristocrats became a power class by banding together based on common interests and employing administrative types to carry out the operations of a rudimentary government.
Concurrently, the tactical view of battle evolved and the Phalanx became the Greek’s prime military formation. As I have discussed in previous articles, the Phalanx gave power to the common people because it was a large scale military organization of equals. One they realized what they had, the people began asking for a part in government. The result was power sharing between themselves and the aristocrats.

Once reunited, Bonnie joined Clyde in his life of crime, becoming an active participant in their notorious escapades. Their partnership was not merely romantic; it was a co-adventurous alliance fraught with danger. Together, they navigated the stark realities of being fugitives from the law, robbing banks and evading capture. Their love was nurtured through letters during Clyde's imprisonment, reinforcing their commitment to one another. As they traveled across states, they cultivated a mythical persona, symbolizing a modern-day Robin Hood duo caught in the throes of the Great Depression. Their story remains a symbol of rebellious love against the backdrop of American lawlessness, capturing the imagination of generations to come.

Hamer’s journey is marked by bravery and resilience. After registering to vote in 1962, she faced severe repercussions, including being fired from her job and forced to leave the plantation she had worked on for years. However, these challenges only fueled her determination to lead voter registration drives and community organizing initiatives. Throughout her activism, Hamer faced violent reprisals, including physical abuse and threats to her life. Her legacy continues to inspire generations as she championed not only civil rights but also efforts to improve economic opportunities and family support services for marginalized communities. Hamer's powerful voice and dedication to justice make her a symbol of the ongoing fight for equality in the United States.
!summarize #anthonydavis #nba #dallas #mavericks
Fannie Lou Hamer emerged as a fearless leader during the civil rights movement, particularly known for her tireless efforts in registering voters and advocating for African American rights. In the summer of 1962, Hamer attended a meeting organized by the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which motivated her to take action against the inequalities faced by her community. On August 31, 1962, she traveled to the Indianola county courthouse with 17 others to register to vote, facing fierce opposition from law enforcement that resulted in only Hamer and another individual being allowed to complete their applications. This act of bravery led to her dismissal from her job and forced her out of her home, yet it only intensified her commitment to civil rights activism.
In 1964, Hamer played a crucial role in founding the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), a response to the all-white delegation dominating the state’s representation at the Democratic National Convention. Her riveting testimony during the televised convention drew national attention to the civil rights struggle in Mississippi and underscored the need for fair representation. Hamer's work did not stop at voter registration; she also championed various initiatives that created business opportunities for minorities and supported family welfare.

WikiTok works through mobile and desktop browsers, and users scroll through a random list of Wikipedia articles picked from the Wikipedia API. An image from the corresponding article represents each of these article entries. If you bump into a topic that you find interesting, you can simply tap “Read More” to open the full Wikipedia page in your browser.
The feed is truly random, and its creator, Issac Gemal, is currently opposed to turning it into an automatic stream of articles that shows users personalized topics based on their tracked interests.
In an interview with Ars Technica, Gemal revealed that he had plenty of people message reaching out to him on GitHub asking for some “insane crazy WikiTok algorithm.”
Fuelled by inspiration and AI tools like Anthropic’s Claude and Cursor, Gemal swiftly created a prototype by 2 am, which he soon shared on X. The buzz around WikiTok grew, eventually leading it to top the daily charts on Ycombinator’s Hacker News.
Gemal’s WikiTok, crafted with just a few hundred lines of code predominantly written by Claude, was later made available on GitHub for community enhancements. The app supports 14 languages and offers features like article previews and sharing across platforms, powered by a modern tech stack that includes React 18, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Vite.
Gemal remains committed to his vision of a non-commercial, user-friendly platform: “I have no grand plans for some sort of insane monetized hyper-calculating TikTok algorithm,” he assured. “It is anti-algorithmic, if anything.”

The stunning turn of events appears to signal the end of the years-long criminal probe into Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign that has hung over Hizzoner’s head during his scandal-plagued first term in office.
Adams, 64, who was indicted in September, was accused of accepting thousands of dollars in free or upgraded luxury travel as bribes from foreign nationals in exchange for political favors, including helping fast-track the opening of the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan.
As senior Archon, Solon chose to proceed quietly to administer so as to
Not disturb or overset the stateBecause if he did he would not have sufficient power to re-constitute and organize again. To rule properly, Solon thought it best to “Combine force and justice together”.
So he started changing Laws. What laws? Nearly all of them.
Solon cancelled all debts and obligations in Athens. He repealed the dreaded Draconian criminal code and substituted his own. Then he wrote a new constitution. Those born of free Attican parents would become citizens of Athens.

Shari's journey through adolescence was marked by the lingering effects of family vlogging, which she later described as having "ruined" her innocence. Despite being in the public eye, she struggled with feelings of isolation, losing friends and normal childhood experiences due to the demands of their online presence. Her interactions with Ruby were often complicated, filled with both love and fear. These complexities were explored in her book, where she addresses the mental and emotional toll of growing up in a family that prioritized entertainment over well-being. Shari's narrative serves as a cautionary tale about the ramifications of family vlogging on children, highlighting the need for greater awareness and legislative reform in this emerging digital landscape.
In her memoir and public statements, Shari has addressed the profound impact of family vlogging on her childhood, describing how it “ruined my innocence” and led to feelings of isolation from peers. She has been vocal about the need for regulations for family vloggers to protect young children from exploitation and to ensure their privacy. Her advocacy also extends to calling for legal reforms in child welfare, as she believes many children in similar situations are suffering in silence. Shari Franke’s powerful voice and commitment to change have positioned her as an important figure in the discussions surrounding child influencers and the consequences of family vlogging.

Was there a TV series based on Gianni Versace's life?
Yes, a television series titled "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" premiered in 2018. It depicted the events surrounding his murder and explored his life and career. Although the series was based on factual events, the Versace family distanced themselves from it, emphasizing that it should be regarded as a fictional interpretation rather than an authorized account.

What notable celebrities wore Versace designs?
Gianni Versace designed for a host of international stars, including Madonna, Princess Diana, Elton John, and Tina Turner. His connections with these celebrities helped elevate the brand's status and showed the significant impact of celebrity culture on fashion. One of his most famous creations, a safety pin dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley, further solidified his reputation in the fashion world.
When did Gianni Versace die?
Gianni Versace was tragically murdered on July 15, 1997, outside his home in South Beach, Florida. He was shot by Andrew Cunanan, a serial killer who took his own life shortly after. Versace's death shocked the fashion industry and left a lasting legacy of his contributions to design and popular culture.
Net Worth and Earnings: $807 Million Empire
Gianni Versace, one of the most iconic fashion designers of the late 20th century, built a remarkable empire valued at approximately $807 million before his untimely death in 1997. Known for his bold and glamorous designs, Versace revolutionized the fashion industry by blending high fashion with pop culture sensibilities. His strategic vision not only established him as a household name but also attracted a wide clientele, including celebrities like Madonna and Elton John. The brand became synonymous with luxury, appealing to both the elite and the mainstream fashion markets.
It is said also that a saying which he had let fall some time before, that "equality does not breed strife," was much circulated at the time, and pleased both parties, because the rich thought it meant that property should be distributed according to merit and desert, while the poor thought it meant according to rule and measure. Both parties were now elate with hope, and their leaders urged Solon to seize the supreme power in the state, of which he was practically possessed, and make himself king.”
But Phanias of Lesbos says that Solon deceived both parties, in order to save the state, promising the poor a redistribution of lands, and the rich a confirmation of their securities. However, Solon himself tells us that it was with reluctance that he interfered, as he was threatened by the avarice of the one party, and the desperation of the other. He was chosen Archon next after Philombrotus (594 B.C.), to act as an arbitrator and lawgiver at once, because the rich had confidence in him as a man of easy fortune, and the poor trusted him as a good man.

Sullivan noted that this new legislation builds upon the 2022 Missile Defense Review recommendations and aims to enhance overall defense architecture through significant investments in new technologies and infrastructure.
He described it as essential in safeguarding Americans against an evolving array of missile threats.
The legislation includes a proposed allocation of $12 billion to expand interceptor fields at Fort Greely in Alaska.
By 600 B.C, Athenian politics was in complete disarray. The last decades had seen their pottery trade fall behind its Corinthian competition, and the aristocratic class had become more ruthless. Poor farmers became serfs of the rich when they could not pay their debts, and the landless were enslaved and sold abroad. Territorial groups could not be controlled by the weak central government.
Throughout his illustrious career, Versace's contributions to the fashion world were numerous and significant, earning him several prestigious awards that marked his influence and artistry. He received multiple L'Occhio d'Oros, as well as an American Fashion Oscar in 1993, acknowledging his outstanding achievements in design. Versace's work extended beyond traditional clothing, with costume designs for ballets and stage performances that garnered critical acclaim. His commitment to creativity and innovation paved the way for future collaborations between fashion and the music industry, forever changing how the two worlds intersected. Overall, Gianni Versace's legacy is defined by his ability to revolutionize fashion with his unique vision and fierce dedication to artistry.
The military mindset of Sparta manifested itself in other more eccentric ways. The mess was an institutionalized meal ritual among Homoioi designed to create camaraderie between them . Each Spartiate ate his meals with the same men he fought beside in war and each man was required to contribute food to the mess on a monthly basis. It has been written that Lycurgus got the idea for the mess from a visit to Crete where he saw it in action, but Crete is not the only example of this ritual in antiquity.

The first Ephors, of whom Elatus was one, were elected during the reign of Theopompus” circa 675 B.C. The five Ephors were administrators elected for one year who were granted power greater than the kings with regards to the management of Spartan society, although in military matters, the kings were supreme. Speculation is that the Ephors were originally part of the king’s staff, but spun off as a separate governmental unit to reduce royal authority.

ianni Versace was born on December 2, 1946, in Reggio di Calabria, Italy, into a family deeply rooted in the world of design. His mother, a skilled dressmaker, ran her own dressmaking business, which made fashion a prominent part of his early life. From a young age, Versace was immersed in textiles and garment construction, often witnessing the intricate details of the design process as his mother crafted beautiful garments. This formative experience sparked his passion for fashion, and he began assisting her after completing high school, absorbing valuable lessons that would later influence his own creations.

The second body of government was the Ecclesia or Assembly, made up of all members of the Spartan army (hoplites). These members were referred to as Homoioi. Remarkably, the Assembly was mandated by the Rhetra (pronouncement of the Oracle) of Lycurgus near the end of the 8th century B.C, making it the first citizen legislative body in history.
Plutarch tells us what happened next. “Even though these changes had the effect of mixing the several powers of the state, successor generations, seeing that the powers of the oligarchy were unimpaired, and that it was, as Plato calls it, full of life and vigor, placed as a curb to it the power of the Ephors.

According to our sources, thirty thousand lots were granted to the Perioeci (neighboring villages) and nine thousand (later twelve thousand) to Spartiates.
One wonders about the land distribution and it impetus. What factor would have caused the rich to share their land? While the formation of a Council of Elders and Assembly are logical, even inevitable, the redistribution of land is not. There answer of course is that the rich did not give up their land. The land distribution was public land similar to the Roman agar publicus. There was still private land held onto by the rich. Embedded in the land distribution somewhere is the relationship between Sparta and Messenia, the territory of fertile lands west of the Taygetos Mountains.

North Carolina has taken a major step toward integrating Bitcoin into state financial strategies. House Speaker Destin Hall has introduced HB 92, a bill that proposes allowing the state to allocate funds into Bitcoin-related investments. This move follows similar efforts by multiple states like Kentucky and Florida, which have also proposed legislation to invest public funds in digital assets.

In a previous post (June 2009), I discussed Lycurgus and his influence over the development of the Spartan political system. I described him as a shadowy figure who may never have existed. Rather than speculate about Lycurgus as a person and his influence over the Spartan political system, I would like to focus now on the system itself, its development and the forces that pushed it forward.
The most cohesive story of that time was contained in Plutarch’s life of Lycurgus, which attributes the Spartan government to that great lawgiver. Many of his facts have been questioned and much may have come from Plato – a biased source writing centuries later – but still it’s a place to start.
Musk, who is a top adviser to President Donald Trump, is in the midst of a heated legal and public relations battle with Altman. They were two of the co-founders of OpenAI in 2015, establishing the entity as a nonprofit focused on AI research.

SoftBank is close to finalizing a $40 billion investment in OpenAI at a $260 billion valuation, sources told CNBC's David Faber last week.

House Speaker Destin Hall, one of North Carolina’s most influential lawmakers, personally introduced HB 92. The bill aims to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by allocating up to 10% of the state’s funds into Bitcoin-related exchange-traded products.
The proposal also includes provisions for state-managed funds, such as pensions for teachers and state employees, veterans’ home trust funds, and insurance funds.
The legislation is co-sponsored by Representatives Mark Brody and Steve Ross, both known for their previous work in shaping cryptocurrency regulations. Dan Spuller, Head of Industry Affairs at the Blockchain Association, confirmed that he advised officials on the bill. He emphasized that this proposal is “not just a messaging bill” but part of an active effort to integrate Bitcoin into North Carolina’s financial framework.
