Five Things to Know, June 24, 2024 The American Legion JUN 24, 2024 1.

Inside the ‘wild’ charges against Dem power broker George Norcross by Nikita Biryukov, New Jersey Monitor June 18, 2024 The indictment unveiled Monday that accuses insurance executive and Democratic power broker George Norcross III of overseeing a criminal enterprise is replete with accusations of threats, intimidation, and political corruption that go on for 111 pages.

In an era where digital transformation is inevitable, traditional sectors like pension funds are exploring innovative solutions to enhance their operational efficiency and financial health. Bitcoin, as a pioneering digital asset, offers unique opportunities for the pension fund industry. By integrating blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, pension funds can address some of their most pressing challenges, including transparency, transaction costs, and portfolio diversification. The Rise of Cryptocurrency in Financial Strategies Incorporating Bitcoin into pension fund portfolios is not merely a trend but a strategic move towards diversification and risk management.

BY Slim Randles A building project (for those of us who are carpenterially challenged) can be a confusing nightmare of little whatchits we never learned the name of and have no idea how to use. Oh, if we need a two-by-four that's eight feet long, we're on pretty safe ground and can head on over to MundoSlab, the building center that dedicates about half an acre to tar paper. It's fun going over there, and you never know when you'll find something you can't live without. You can buy the stuff in there from the kid who mowed your lawn until a month ago. But when the real tough parts of a project come along, you know, things that involve plumbing or wiring, there's only one place to go ... the old-fashioned hardware store.

aource Humane Society The Humane Society of the United States has released its annual Horrible Hundred report which exposes problematic puppy mills throughout the country, underscoring the necessity of New Jersey’s proposed legislation (S2511/A4051) to cut off the puppy mill-to-pet store pipeline. This annual report is compiled by researchers as they comb through federal and state inspection records for instances of animal welfare violations and suffering. Public records show that numerous breeders cited in the report have supplied puppies to New Jersey pet stores in recent years. For example, Wayne Puppies, a New Jersey pet store, acquired puppies in December 2023 from a Missouri breeder featured on this year’s Horrible Hundred report. The breeder, Raymond Lawson/The Silver Spur, was issued a letter of warning by Missouri state inspectors after they found 10 violations during a single visit in September—violations included housing puppies on dangerous flooring that could entrap their legs,...
