But ten years ago, talk of cryptocurrencies or decentralised finance, and you were a conspiracy theorist. Fast forward ten years and more than 23,000 cryptocurrencies are spanning nearly 600 crypto exchanges - from the slightly lesser known Fantom Price to the Ethereum Price, these coins are almost beginning to dominate traditional financial systems - and so they should. But the story behind the story is this - not everybody understands cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. For that reason, not everybody trusted it. We trust traditional banks because, well, everybody does. So, how have we gone from an 'unknown' financial system to one whose adoption is almost out of control? Let's explore. The Beginning The beginning is a difficult place to start. Technically, the journey of... Read more →

Promise In Early Intervention Treatments A new blood test is showing “high accuracy” in screening for Alzheimer’s Disease markers, before the onset of symptoms according to a study published in JAMA Neurology this week. The study involved testing blood for a key biomarker of Alzheimer’s, a protein called phosphorylated tau or p-tau21, which increases at the same time as other damaging proteins — beta amyloid and tau — build up in the brains of people with the disease. The study found a simple blood test to be up to 96% accurate in identifying elevated levels of beta amyloid and up to 97% accurate in identifying tau. Currently the only testing for these build ups in the brain can be performed with a brain scan or spinal tap, both of which can be inaccessible and costly. Last year, Quest Diagnostics brought a blood test assessing beta amyloid protein to market for... Read more →

“You know why divorces are so expensive? They're worth it.” Willie Nelson Understanding the divorce process in Washington State Divorce is a complex and emotionally difficult process. It often takes a great deal of time and effort to reach a final resolution. In Washington State, many factors affect the length of the divorce process. Divorce can be delayed because of the mandatory waiting period set by law. Washington state law gives couples at least 90 days from the date of filing before they are finalized in their divorce. This waiting period allows spouses to discuss the possibility of reconciliation or further negotiations on important issues such as child custody, property division, and spousal support. Another factor that affects the length of Washington divorces online is the complexity of each case. If spouses have multiple assets or serious disagreements over child custody or alimony, it may take longer to reach a... Read more →

In the evolving landscape of New Jersey's gambling industry, 2023 marked a significant milestone. The state's casino and sports betting operators, along with their online affiliates, accumulated a record-breaking $5.8 billion in revenue, an 11% increase from the previous year. Online platforms like Zodiac Casino are on the rise across the world, and New Jersey is no exception. However, this surge in digital gambling casts a shadow over traditional casinos, particularly in Atlantic City, where two-thirds are still grappling with reduced in-person winnings compared to pre-pandemic levels. The Nuances of Digital Gambling Success The data from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement paints a nuanced picture. While overall earnings soared, reaching a zenith unseen since 2006, only half of this revenue originated from the casinos' primary domain – their physical premises. This shift highlights a critical transformation: the burgeoning role of internet gambling and sports betting, which contributed nearly... Read more →
