Bitcoin investors are eyeing Rollblock as the next 1000x growth token, riding its early-stage presale fever before the profit-taking phase kicks in. With the cryptocurrency sector moving to innovative, high-growth projects, Rollblock's blockchain technology paired with internet gambling is attracting attention. As it moves through its presale stages, interest in Rollblock indicates investors are betting big on its future potential. Bitcoin Nears $100K Amid Optimism for Crypto-Friendly Regulation Bitcoin might quickly cross the $100,000 mark 2 years after the plunge beneath $17,000 which followed FTX's collapse. This sharp rally comes amid optimism that the new Trump administration will relax regulatory standards for crypto-friendly entities. Industry players hope Trump will in reality act on his campaign promise to help make the U.S. "the crypto capital of the planet" and begin a strategic reserve of Bitcoin. His win in the U.S. presidential election gave Bitcoin fans renewed confidence in its future after promising to relieve regulatory obstacles and also help the digital currency expand. This has produced an expanding legitimacy for Bitcoin, which is still a favorite amongst retail investors. This decentralized nature of ownership is exemplified by information from the Block that 88.07% of Bitcoin's circulating supply is owned by retail investors. Indicating additional institutional interest, the launch of BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF saw a record $1.9 billion in notional value traded on its debut. Regardless of concerns that Bitcoin would become centralized, the ETF launch lowers barriers to entry for everyday investors, keeping Bitcoin accessible to everyone. Why Rollblock’s $0.036 Presale Price is a Golden Investment Opportunity Rollblock is fast transforming into the next big thing in the online gambling space, which is estimated to hit over $500 billion. Dedicated to transparency, Rollblock utilizes blockchain to provide over 7,000 provably fair games—a great platform for players searching for a transparent gaming experience. All betting odds, transactions, and other essential data are recorded and can not be changed or manipulated using blockchain. This transparent approach resolves some of the major issues facing online gambling—cheating—and differentiates Rollblock from its competitors. Rollblock's crucial innovation is its revenue-sharing model: token owners get a cut of the platform's earnings. This ensures users get excellent gaming and benefit directly from the platform's growth. Rollblock balances player interests with the long-term success of the platform. Further enhancing its appeal, Rollblock's smart tokenomics include a deflationary strategy: 30% of casino revenue is used to buy back tokens, with 60% burned to reduce supply, and 40% distributed to stakers. This strategy enhances scarcity and value while offering consistent returns for participants. Currently priced at just $0.036 in its 8th presale stage, Rollblock presents a compelling opportunity for investors looking to get in on the ground floor of a project that promises both long-term growth and rewarding engagement.

By A Staff Reporter,Kathmandu, Dec. 5: We must envision democracy as not merely a political framework but also a social system—one that upholds the dignity of every individual, inspires a sense of boundless potential, and fosters an environment of safety and security for all, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli of Nepal said in his speech on ‘Comprehensive democracy: A journey towards Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali’ delivered at the Peking University of China in Beijing on Wednesday. “While taking forward the ideas of democracy, debates emerged regarding its class character, leading to the distinction between what is often termed ‘Old’ and ‘New’ democracy,” he said. According to him, in ‘old’ democracy, a privileged class—often referred to as the bourgeoisie—took the lead, while the toiling masses remained subordinate throughout the process of political transformation, while the ‘new’ democracy in contrast saw the working class take the forefront, collaborating with oppressed and exploited groups from various strata of society. He informed the students and academicians there that for much of its history, Nepalis endured autocracy, with no opportunity to participate in governance. “Nepal's journey to political transformation stands as a unique model in global history. Unlike many movements worldwide, where political struggles were predominantly led by parties representing a single class, Nepal's political revolution was a collaborative effort, uniting representatives from competing classes,” stated PM Oli. He said that Nepal’s political history is unique in the sense that both major political forces—Left leaning and the Right leaning— when they divide, monarchy usurps more power; yet, when united, they have consistently succeeded in subduing autocracy and advancing people’s freedom. “Guided by the philosophy of Marxism, and under the visionary leadership of the People's Leader Madan Bhandari, my party developed the principle of People's Multi-Party Democracy (PMD),” he said while talking about his political party – CPN (UML), and added that this doctrine represented a creative application of Marxist ideals, tailored to Nepal’s unique historical, and socio-political context. According to him, the PMD consists of synthesis of three key dimensions of the people's struggles in Nepal: patriotism, social change, and democracy. While advancing the idea of PMD, people's leader, Madan Bhandari said: "Principles are for life, not life for principles." “This vision of comprehensive democracy embraces the political, economic, social and cultural aspects to empower the individual and society. And all these aspects are mutually reinforcing,” PM Oli said. He also said that democracy cannot thrive in the echo-chambers built by algorithms of new technology. He said, “For us, prosperity means economic growth with equity—ensuring a level-playing field for all, equitable access to quality education and healthcare as fundamental rights and providing social safety nets and empowering marginalised communities.” Speaking on Nepal-China relations, PM Oli said that as trusted neighbours and steadfast partners, the two nations collaborate closely in various areas of mutual interest. “China’s miraculous economic development offers valuable lessons for Nepal as it embarks on its own developmental journey,” he said.This Christmas, elevate your holiday spread and stocking-stuffers with delectable delights from Eastwood Richmonde Hotel’s kitchen.

The Gunners took two points out of Liverpool’s lead at the summit of the Premier League after Jurrien Timber and William Saliba struck in the second half – both from corners – to condemn Amorim to his first defeat as United boss. The hosts’ second-half strikes took their goals-from-corners tally to 22 since the start of last season – a statistic that is unmatched by any other team in the division. Asked if Arsenal are one of the best teams he has come up against on corners, Amorim replied: “If you follow the Premier League for a long time you can see that. “They are also big players and you see every occasion when (Gabriel) Martinelli and (Bukayo) Saka have one-on-ones, a lot of times they go outside and they cross, and they know that if the cross goes well, they can score, and if it is a corner they can score, too, so we have to be better on that. “You have seen in all Arsenal games that every team have had problems with that (corners). And the difference today was the set-pieces. “You see a goal and then the momentum changed, and it is really hard for us to take the full control of the game after that.” Timber leaned into Rasmus Hojlund at the front post before diverting Declan Rice’s set-piece into the back of Andre Onana’s net after 54 minutes to send Arsenal into the lead. Thomas Partey’s header from Saka’s corner then deflected in off Saliba’s shoulder with 17 minutes left. Arteta and the club’s set-piece guru Nicolas Jover embraced on the touchline as Amorim was left with his head in his hands. The Arsenal supporters cheered raucously every time they won a corner – landing 13 in all without reply. However, Arteta moved to play down the significance of Arsenal’s set-piece threat. “We need that, but we want to be very dangerous and very effective from every angle and every phase of play,” said Arteta. “Today we could have scored from open play like we did against West Ham and Sporting. Last year we scored the most goals in the history of this football club. Arsenal have won four consecutive Premier League matches against Man Utd for the first time ever! 💫 pic.twitter.com/biv1kvsJEP — Premier League (@premierleague) December 4, 2024 “Not because of only set-pieces, but because of a lot of things that we have. We want to create individual and magic moments, too.” Arsenal’s win against United – the first time they have recorded four victories in a row against the Red Devils in the league – was their fourth in succession since the international break. They will head to Fulham on Sunday bidding to keep the momentum going. Arteta continued: “The will to win is there. We try our best to do that. We won four in a row, but it doesn’t matter. We have to go to Fulham now, try to be better than them and try win the game. “It’s every three days that we play. It’s a crazy schedule. We’re going to need everybody and to mentally be very strong.”Morgan Rogers’ fourth goal of the season, an Ollie Watkins penalty and Matty Cash’s finish put Villa 3-0 up after 34 minutes. Mikkel Damsgaard pulled one back for Brentford in the second half but the damage had been done as Villa ended their eight-match winless run in all competitions. Emery was relieved to end the unwanted streak but quickly turned his attention to the next fixture against Southampton on Saturday. “We broke a spell of bad results we were having,” the Villa boss said. “We started the first five or 10 minutes not in control of the game but then progressively we controlled. “Today we achieved those three points and it has given us confidence again but even like that it’s not enough. We have to keep going and think about the next match against Southampton on Saturday. “The message was try to focus on each match, try to forget the table. How we can recover confidence and feel comfortable at home. Today was a fantastic match.” Tyrone Mings returned to the starting line-up in the Premier League for the first time since August 2023. Emery admitted it has been a long road back for the 31-year-old and is pleased to have him back. He added: “Mings played in the Champions league but it’s the first time in the league for a year and three months. “I think he played fantastic – he might be tired tomorrow but will be ready for Saturday again. “It was very, very long, the injury he had. His comeback is fantastic for him and everybody, for the doctor and physio and now he’s training everyday.” Brentford fell to a sixth away defeat from seven games and have picked up only a solitary point on the road this season. They have the best home record in the league, with 19 points from seven matches, but they have the joint worst away record. Bees boss Thomas Frank is confident form will improve on the road. He said: “On numbers we can’t argue we are better at home than away, but on numbers it’s a coincidence. I think two of the seven away games have been bad. “The other games we performed well in big spells. I’m confident at the end of the season we will have some wins away from home.” Frank felt Villa should not have been given a penalty when Ethan Pinnock brought Watkins down. He added: “I want to argue the penalty. I don’t think it is (one). I think Ollie kicked back and hit Ethan, yes there is an arm on the shoulder but threshold and all that – but that’s not the reason we lost.”None
This will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. A Long Island man with Down syndrome has proved that nothing can stop his dreams — as he has built and runs the world’s largest online sock company and has been able to hire a staff filled with others who face similar challenges. John Cronin, 28, co-founded the Farmingdale-based John’s Crazy Socks in 2016 with his family because of his love of wacky socks and has since become a hosiery mogul, selling upward of two million orders with 4,000 designs and donating nearly $800,000 to charities. “I’ve got a very meaningful job here,” the 28-year-old, told The Post. Since hitting it big in the stocking market, Cronin has had many honors, such as being invited to speak to Congress and the United Nations on behalf of those with differing abilities. The local entrepreneur, who often travels for speaking engagements, even developed a friendship with the late President George HW Bush. The two would send each other socks. Cronin, a Huntington resident and former Special Olympian, began his enterprise after struggling to find a job after high school, he said. The young man approached his family and insisted they start a sock company because he would collect wacky ones while on vacation. “I know how fun it is, and I wanted to share that. I couldn’t be the only one who wanted to buy them,” Cronin said. He now runs the business with his parents, Mark and Carol, and his older brother, Jamie. Orders range from prints that raise awareness for causes such as Down syndrome and autism to socks that celebrate different holidays and snacks. They also sell crowd favorites with Harry Potter and SpongeBob themes. Cronin wears many hats in his role and does whatever the company needs. He also created a special Down syndrome awareness sock, among other designs. Early success came as he stole the show and hearts of customers. Initially, Cronin would often hand-deliver socks. “John would walk up to a house and be invited in for ten minutes,” his mother Carol, 66, who handles bulk orders, told The Post. “One time, he even came back with a $10 tip.” Now servicing 89 nations, each fulfillment still gets a personal touch by being packed with a special note and candy. Cronin is known professionally as the brand’s “chief happiness officer.” The fun-loving co-founder — he recently wrote “Let’s Go Mets” to a Pennsylvania customer who ordered Phillies socks — boasted that Jeff Bezos isn’t doing that. A chance to shine As the business grew, so did Cronin’s mission. He made it a pillar objective to give employment opportunities to others with differing abilities. Cronin personally knows how hard it can be to land a job. “I couldn’t do it without them,” Cronin said. “They work so hard, and they make it possible to show [what people like us can do].” Cronin’s brother Jamie, 31, oversees the warehouse personnel. It is currently at 35 for the busy holiday season. He quickly recognized that staff is held to the same standard and task intensity as anyone else. Given the high order volume, Jamie also stressed the need for efficiency and worker independence. “We are a for-profit business at the end of the day,” he told The Post. Carol added that their hard-working employees’ error margin is well below 1%. The numbers relay a mighty sentiment from Jamie’s “second in command, ” Gary Rottkamp, 57, who has autism. He strongly believes those with differing abilities deserve a fair shot at work. “They should give people a chance to see if they can do the job correctly,” Rottkamp told The Post. “It’s best for business.” Rottkamp has worked at John’s Crazy Socks for seven years. The reason is simple. “It’s fulfilling to me,” he said. “The people here are wonderful.”

Atria Investments Inc Grows Holdings in Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF)Reigning champion Kansas City edged Carolina and Detroit ripped Indianapolis on Sunday to reach an NFL-best 10-1 while Dallas shocked arch-rival Washington to snap a five-game losing streak. Patrick Mahomes threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns and Spencer Shrader kicked a 31-yard field goal on the final play to lift Kansas City over the host Panthers 30-27. Chuba Hubbard's 1-yard touchdown run and a 2-point conversion run had put Carolina level with 1:46 remaining, setting the stage for the Chiefs' seven-play, 57-yard march to set up the winning kick. Joining the Chiefs with a 10th triumph to keep a conference lead was Detroit, with Jahmyr Gibbs rushing for 90 yards and two touchdowns and David Montgomery running for another score in the Lions' 24-6 triumph at Indianapolis. A wild finish with 38 points in the last 5:16 marked the Dallas Cowboys' 34-26 victory at Washington, where the Commanders appeared to have lost, then made an amazing comeback only to fall in the end. Cooper Rush's second touchdown pass, a 22-yarder to Luke Schoonmaker with 5:16 remaining, gave Dallas a 20-9 edge, but Jayden Daniels threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz and ran for a 2-point conversion to pull Washington within 20-17. KaVontae Turpin answered with a 99-yard kickoff return touchdown on the ensuing play, but again the Commanders responded as Austin Seibert kicked a 51-yard field goal and Daniels connected with Terry McLaurin on an 86-yard touchdown pass with 21 seconds remaining. Seibert, however, shockingly missed the conversion kick to keep Dallas ahead 27-26 and the Cowboys added a Juanyeh Thomas 43-yard kickoff return touchdown on the next play to seal victory. At Miami, Tua Tagovailoa threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns to spark the Miami Dolphins over New England 34-15. At Chicago, Minnesota's John Parker Romo kicked a 29-yard field goal with 2:10 remaining in overtime to lift the Vikings over the host Bears 30-27. Sam Darnold threw for 330 yards and two touchdowns as the Vikings improved to 9-2. At Houston, Chig Okonkwo caught a 70-yard go-ahead touchdown pass from Will Levis in the fourth quarter as Tennessee upset the host Texans 32-27. Levis threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns and Tony Pollard ran for 119 yards and a touchdown as the Titans reached 3-8 and Houston fell to 7-5. Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield threw for 294 yards to spark the Buccaneers over the host New York Giants 30-7. js/sev
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mark Few liked what he saw unfold at San Diego State's Viejas Arena when his No. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs made their first foray outside of Spokane, Washington, this season. A double-digit victory in a packed, loud arena. Toughness from a deep, experienced lineup that once again is driven to win an elusive national championship. And, peeking a few seasons ahead, he saw an SDSU team that he views more as a future Pac-12 partner than rival. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A team that previously boycotted at least one match against the San Jose State women's volleyball program will again be faced with the decision whether to play the school , this time in the Mountain West Conference semifinals with a shot at the NCAA Tournament on the line. Five schools forfeited matches in the regular season against San Jose State, which carried a No. 2 seed into the conference tournament in Las Vegas. Among those schools: No. 3 Utah State and No. 6 Boise State, who will face off Wednesday with the winner scheduled to play the Spartans in the semifinals on Friday. Wyoming, Nevada and Southern Utah — which is not a Mountain West member — also canceled regular-season matches, all without explicitly saying why they were forfeiting. Nevada players cited fairness in women’s sports as a reason to boycott their match, while political figures from Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Nevada suggested the cancellations center around protecting women’s sports. In a lawsuit filed against the NCAA , plaintiffs cited unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State volleyball team, even naming her. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity and through school officials has declined an interview request. A judge on Monday rejected a request made by nine current conference players to block the San Jose State player from competing in the tournament on grounds that she is transgender. That ruling was upheld Tuesday by an appeals court. “The team looks forward to starting Mountain West Conference tournament competition on Friday,” San Jose State said in a statement issued after the appeals court decision. “The university maintains an unwavering commitment to the participation, safety and privacy of all students at San Jose State and ensuring they are able to compete in an inclusive, fair and respectful environment.” Chris Kutz, a Boise State athletics spokesman, said in an email the university would not “comment on potential matchups at this time.” Doug Hoffman, an Aggies athletics spokesman, said in an email Utah State is reviewing the court’s order. “Right now, our women’s volleyball program is focused on the game this Wednesday, and we’ll be cheering them on,” Hoffman wrote. San Jose State, which had a first-round bye, would be sent directly to the conference title game if Utah State or Boise State were to forfeit again. If the Spartans make the title game, it's likely the opponent would not forfeit. They would face top-seeded Colorado State, No. 4 Fresno State or No. 5 San Diego State — all teams that played the Spartans this season. The conference champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. AP college sports: https://apnews.com/hub/college-sportsMore options are available to area residents calling for emergency help, including live streaming video, text messaging and text translation. The Hastings Police Department Tuesday announced the launch of Prepared Live. Prepared Live is a program that enables the 911 Dispatch Center to livestream videos, text message, and translate text messages from mobile callers in real time. The addition to the dispatchers’ current technology will improve law enforcement’s ability to effectively and efficiently respond to both emergency and non-emergency calls for service in the area. Participation in live streaming video during a call is voluntary as consent of the caller is required. If the caller consents, they will receive a livestream link via text from the dispatcher, enabling them to activate live video so the dispatcher can see what they see. The new technology can provide critical information to dispatchers and first responders before arriving at a scene. For non-emergency situations, citizens can text the Hastings 911 Center at 402-461-2364 to report something that does not require immediate law enforcement, fire, or emergency medical service response. Non-English speaking citizens can text the Hastings 911 Center in their native language and the system will translate it so dispatchers can quickly assist them.Trump Nominates Billy Long as IRS Commissioner
