Cryptocurrencies could soon be part of the U.S. national strategic reserve. During a recent event, President Donald Trump announced his administration is exploring ways to do this through bitcoin.The move follows another Trump order where he banned central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), or government-backed digital currencies. Both actions could represent a break of the United States from a global trend of mass surveillance in digital payments.

A Triumphant Church Part 9: Establishes Leadership 1 Cor 9:1-27 9 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord? 2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 This is my defense to those who would examine me. 4 Do we not have the right to eat and drink? 5 Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living? 7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk? 8 Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the Law say the same? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned? 10 Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop. 11 If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? 12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings? 14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel. 15 But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting. 16 For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship. 18 What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel. 19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

Hebrews 13:23-25 Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you. Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you. Grace be with you all. We learn a few things about the author from today's verse. It is believed the letter was written in the second half of 63 or the beginning of 64. He was probably in Rome, where it is believed Timothy was imprisoned for a time. Since he mentioned in his request for prayer that he would be restored to them, the author also may have been imprisoned in Rome at the time of writing this letter. We learn that he was hoping to be released as well and travel with Timothy to see them. He closes with a greeting to the entire Hebrew community. My takeaway from this verse is that we make our plans, but God establishes our steps. That's how living to love with Jesus is. We must approach the days of our lives humbly, with open hands. As James wrote, “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit'— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.'” As we walk with Jesus each day, we can trust that He will set the course for us. We only have today, and the greatest confidence we have that we will make it to the end in faith is to abide in Him now, today. That doesn't mean we don't make plans, but we trust God to lay out our course. So today, you probably have plans, and I hope you embrace Jesus' purpose of loving with the Father those the Father gives Him. Receive well those He puts in your path, and then look to Him for grace to love them—for their highest good and greatest benefit. What better way is there to finish an appeal such as we have received from this letter than to say, “Grace be with you all.” I can't think of one. If we are going to respond to any appeal to bring glory to God, the only way it is possible is through the grace of God. It is a wish or prayer that we know will be answered to all those who truly believe and seek God, knowing He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Will you join me in prayer as we close the book of Hebrews? Father in heaven, we worship You and draw near to You through the powerful work You have accomplished on our behalf through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We want to show our gratitude to You for bringing us into Your unshakable kingdom. We seek Your face for the grace we need to love whoever You put in our paths today, for Your glory. May your grace be with us all. Amen. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In today's episode of 'Discover Daily', we begin with January's unexpected inflation surge to 3% that has rattled financial markets and diminished hopes for early Fed rate cuts. The Consumer Price Index showed significant increases across multiple sectors, with egg prices jumping 15.2% in a single month due to ongoing avian flu outbreaks. These developments have triggered widespread market adjustments and raised concerns about persistent inflation pressures.The tech world continues to watch the escalating battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI, with Musk offering to withdraw his $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI's nonprofit arm if the company halts its for-profit transition.

Sebastian Rogers has been missing for nearly 11months at this point and still there are no answers as to what happened and where he is. Those of you following the case closely likely know about the security camera footage from a neighbor's house, which captured two moving light sources outside the Proudfoot house at 3:10 on Monday, February 26, 2024--the same day Sebastian vanished. Former FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer talked about that video footage yesterday, and shared that the 3:10 am hour is solid and, thus, likely gives us a timeline as to when Sebastian went missing. Allow me to explain my thoughts on this as well as on Sebastian's nonexistent scent trail outside the home.#sebastianrogers #sethrogers #chrisproudfoot #katieproudfoot #tenneessee #breakingnews #asmr #missingchild #missingboy #justiceforsebastian #truecrime #idaho #moscowidaho #kayleegoncalves #madisonmogen #ethanchapin #xanakernodle #moscowstudentmurders #idahostudentmurders #moscowhomicides  #truecrimeunsolved #truecrimeunsolvedSupport the show

A new research group designed to advance AI accountability research has launched at Trinity College Dublin. The AI Accountability Lab (AIAL) will be led by Dr Abeba Birhane, Research Fellow in the ADAPT Research Ireland Centre at the School of Computer Science and Statistics in Trinity. It will focus on critical issues across broad topics, such as the examination of opaque technological ecologies and the execution of audits on specific models and training datasets. As AI technologies continue to shape society, the AIAL will examine their broader impacts and hold powerful entities accountable for technological harms, advocating for policies rooted in evidence. Research will specifically address potential corporate capture of current regulatory processes, outline justice-driven model evaluation, as well as audits of deployed models, specifically those used on vulnerable groups. Speaking about the work of the AIAL, Dr Birhane said: "The AI Accountability Lab aims to foster transparency and accountability in the development and use of AI systems. And we have a broad and comprehensive view of AI accountability. This includes better understanding and critical scrutiny of the wider AI ecology - for example, via systematic studies of possible corporate capture, to the evaluation of specific AI models, tools, and training datasets." The AIAL is supported by a grant of just under €1.5 million from three groups: the AI Collaborative, an Initiative of the Omidyar Group; Luminate; and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. AI technologies, despite their supposed potential, have been shown to encode and exacerbate existing societal norms and inequalities, disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups. In sectors such as healthcare, education, and law enforcement, deployment of AI technologies without thorough evaluation can not only have nuanced but catastrophic impact on individuals and groups but can also alter social fabrics. For example, in healthcare, a liver allocation algorithm used by the UK's National Health Service (NHS) has been found to discriminate by age. No matter how iIl, patients under the age of 45 seem currently unable to receive a transplant, due to the predictive logic underlying the algorithm. Additionally, incorporating AI algorithms without proper evaluation has a direct or implicit impact on people. For example, a decision support algorithm used by the Danish child protection services to aid child protection deployed without formal evaluation has been found to suffer from numerous issues, including information leakage, inconsistent risk scores, and age-based discrimination. Furthermore, errors in facial recognition technologies have led to misidentification and the arrest of innocent people in the UK and the US. In education, the use of student data for purposes beyond schooling drew criticism in the UK. Secret agreements allowing authorities to monitor benefit claims raised fears of increased surveillance, eroding public trust in technology, and disproportionate targeting of low-income families (source Schools Week). These few examples illustrate the need for transparency, accountability, and robust oversight of AI systems, which are central topics the AI Accountability Lab seeks to address through research and evidence-driven policy advocacy. The AIAL will be housed in the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity. Professor Gregory O'Hare, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Head of School of Computer Science & Statistics at Trinity, said: "The new dawn of AI associated with generative AI has heralded a velocity of AI adoption hitherto fore not witnessed. The provenance of such systems is however fundamental. The AI Accountability Lab will be at the forefront of research that will examine such systems; through algorithmic auditability it will create a National and European Centre of Excellence in this space, delivering thought leadership and informing best practice." Professor John...

Creates nationwide permits to allow for transmission projects for people, water, wastewater, carbon dioxide, fuel, and oil and gas pipelines that do not result in a “loss greater than 1/2 acre of waters of the United States for each single and complete project” In reissuing these nationwide permits, the EPA would not be required to consult with a state nor any other Federal agency and these permits will get to short cut environmental assessments that are required by the National Environmental Policy Act. Limits judicial review Puts a 60 day time limit after the permit is issued for a judicial review Doesn't allow anyone who didn't file a comment during the public comment period to file a lawsuit. If someone did file a comment, they may not file a lawsuit about anything that they didn't address in their comment.

Prohibits enforcement of any similar rule that could be written in the future. The standards could be met via the production of cleaner fossil fuel powered vehicles, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and electric vehicles. EPA estimates the air pollution reductions would provide ~$13 billion in reduced annual health care costs by preventing the emission of thousands of tons of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds. EPA estimates the new standards would save Americans $46 billion per year in fuel costs and $16 billion per year due to reduced maintenance and repair costs for drivers, totaling ~$6,000 over the course of a new vehicle's lifetime. ← find how your Senator voted here Intended Effects of S. 4445: Guarantees an individual's rights to receive fertility treatment, make decisions regarding the donation, use, storage, and disposal of oocytes, sperm, fertilized eggs and embryos, and enter contracts with health care providers to enact those decisions. Guarantees a health provider's right to provide fertility treatments and provide for testing, use, storage, shipping, and disposal of genetic material including oocytes, sperm, fertilized eggs, and embryos. Guarantees a health insurance provider's right to cover fertility treatments. Guarantees a manufacturer's right to manufacture, import, market, sell, and distribute drugs and devices that are used for fertility treatments. Allows lawsuits against any State or individual who interferes with the right to fertility treatments by the Attorney General, health care providers, and individuals adversely affected. This would supersede any State law regardless of when it was enacted and prohibits enforcement of any state law that is in conflict with these rights. Requires the Department of Defense to provide fertility treatments (specifically three egg retrievals and unlimited embryo transfers) to active duty military members and their spouses. Requires health plans, Medicaid, and Medicare that cover obstetrical (child birth related) services to also provide coverage for fertility treatments. Background sources for S. 4445: Maya C. Miller.

Rick Larsen (D-WA): My colleagues have criticized EPA's use of its Clean Water Act review or veto authority. Yet, the record shows EPA's use of this authority has been consistent with congressional intent. I see no reason for removing this authority. Since enactment of the Clean Water Act in 1972, EPA has only exercised this authority 14 times—most recently in relation to large-scale mining proposals in Alaska and West Virginia. EPA's use of this authority has, in fact, been bipartisan. EPA used it 2 times during Democratic administrations and 12 times during Republican administrations. Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO): This bill will cut red tape, strengthen the permitting process in favor of those seeking the permits, provide clarity to the EPA to ensure that they are following what the law intends, and, most importantly, fight back against the militant climate agenda. Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO): Our court system is already being attacked from every angle. Let's not let the environmentalists continue to manipulate the courts to push their climate religion. It should be an efficient and speedy process so businesses can build the infrastructure that our country depends on. Rep. David Rouser (R-NC): Mr. Chairman, in closing, I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this bill, which provides energy predictability and certainty that our utilities, energy, manufacturing, and agricultural industries need to succeed, which are so critical to American greatness in energy, food production, and the manufacturing necessary to improve the standard of living of every American. That is what this is about, Mr. Chairman. Music by Editing Production Assistance

After falling into the abyss in Númenor, Sauron re-establishes his kingdom in Mordor and makes war upon Men and Elves. Sauron takes Minas Ithil. Isildur flees in search of Elendil. Anárion fights back Sauron, but recognizes that a greater force is needed. The Last Alliance is formed, and war is waged against Sauron. Anárion is slain, but the assault comes all the way to the tower of Barad-dûr, where it is sieged for seven years. Sauron comes forth and kills Gil-galad and Elendil, but Isildur cuts the Ruling Ring from Sauron's hand, and he is vanquished for a time. Elendil refuses to destroy the One Ring.
