A 'Butterfly Awakens' Book Event: Get Inspired by the sweet life of books, art, music, lite bites, and good food. The perfect boost of endorphins during May: Mental Health Awareness Month.

Join S.H.I.N.E. Networking Inc. for A Night of Awakening Creativity guided by author Meg Nocero of The Magical Guide to Bliss and Butterfly Awakens, "A Happying Event" meant to inspire guests to awaken to La Dolce Vita and come alive to the beauty of dreams while remembering to play. This event will take place at the Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida, on May 5, 2023, at 7 p.m.

When Miami resident Meg Nocero lost her mother to breast cancer, she found grief a force to be reckoned with, one that shifted her priorities from a successful but demanding career as an immigration attorney for the federal government to focus on her physical and mental health and find her bliss. Nocero created a guide, The Magical Guide to Bliss, seven years ago. After she followed it, she wrote Butterfly Awakens: A Memoir of Transformation Through Grief ($18.95, She Writes Press, September 2021), a unique story of what she discovered during this journey that brings readers through the grief process, her rejection of a toxic work environment, struggles with a medical diagnosis and a determination to place her faith in intuition. Nocero invites everyone to come along and come alive to the beauty of life and, of course, there will be dancing. 

Under Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar of the Happiness Studies Academy, Nocero studied the science of happiness and created this "Happying Event," a presentation based on the S.P.I.R.E. elements of whole-being happiness: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Relational, & Emotional. 

In that respect, S.H.I.N.E. Networking Inc. is pleased to host international painting artist Hector Prado, who will do a live painting. In addition, music artists Jon Saxx, Ava Simone, and DJ Lawrence Newberg will be performing. Dr. Ceci Shaw, author of "The Spell" and Quantum Energy Medicine Practitioner; Mike Zubi, lead instructor at Rode and motivational guru; and David Landau, editor extraordinaire, will present as well. It will be a night full of creativity, music, and dancing.  

S.H.I.N.E. Networking and Meg Nocero are excited to invite everyone for an evening of magical inspiration. Enjoy the lite bites and BUTTERFLY drinks and PLAY. Meet the creatives and get inspired to begin your own journey. The Board of S.H.I.N.E. Networking Inc. will also present the 2023 Inspiration Award to actor and director Miguel Luciano for his role as teacher and director with the kids in Miami for over 15 years.

The one-off award marks the 25th anniversary of the prize by recognising the outstanding work of all previous 24 prizewinners. Shapiro's 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare won the prize in 2006 and explores the year that Shakespeare produced some of his greatest works

EDINBURGH, Scotland, April 27, 2023 (Newswire.com)

1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare by James Shapiro is tonight, Thursday, April 27, named winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 'Winner of Winners' Award. The winner was announced by Chair of Judges, Jason Cowley, at a ceremony hosted at the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh. 

The Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction Winner of Winners Award marks the 25^th anniversary of the UK's premier non-fiction book prize by crowning the best work of non-fiction from the last 25 years of the prize. As the winner, Shapiro will receive £25,000.

The winner was chosen by a judging panel comprising of: New Statesman editor-in-chief, Jason Cowley (chair); academic, critic and broadcaster, Shahidha Bari; journalist, author and academic, Sarah Churchwell; and biographer and critic Frances Wilson. Their selection was made from a shortlist of six books, taken from the previous 24 prizewinning books.

In the course of 1599, Shakespeare completed Henry V, wrote Julius Caesar and As You Like It in quick succession, and produced the first draft of his greatest play, Hamlet. In his winning book 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare, Shapiro shows how The Bard progressed from his tale of two star-crossed lovers to Hamlet. Shapiro finds one question the most pressing: how did Shakespeare become Shakespeare - one of the greatest writers who ever lived?

James Shapiro is Professor of English at Columbia University, where he teaches Shakespeare. His earlier books have received international acclaim, including 1606: The Year of Lear, which won the James Tait Black Prize; 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare, which won the Samuel Johnson Prize; and Shakespeare in a Divided America, selected as one of the 10 best books of the year by the New York Times. Shapiro is also the author of Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare?, Oberammergau: The Troubling Story of the World's Most Famous Passion Play, Shakespeare and the Jews, and Rival Playwrights: Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson, and edited the Library of America anthology, Shakespeare in America. His reviews have appeared in The New York Times Book Review, Times Literary Supplement, the London Review of Books, and other publications. He has served on the board of directors of The Royal Shakespeare Company, and advises productions for the Public Theatre in New York and other companies. Shapiro was a collaborator on The King and the Playwright, a series he hosted for the BBC and also hosted the BBC The Mysterious Mr. Webster. In 2011, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is currently serving as a Booker Prize judge.

Jason Cowley, Chair of judges, says:
"1599 is a remarkable and compelling book. A history of four masterpieces and of so much more, it produces a life of Shakespeare, about whom so little is known, through an ingenious fusion of history, politics, and literary criticism. The result is a poised and original re-imagination of biography. Shapiro returns Shakespeare to the stage of his own world, and in so doing, he transforms our understanding - not only of the great works but also of the social atmosphere of his times. Erudite, accessible and formally bold, it will appeal to anyone interested in history, politics, literature and good writing."

Peter Singlehurst, Partner at Baillie Gifford, says:

"The strapline for the Baillie Gifford Prize is 'all the best stories are true'. But it is not necessarily their factfulness that makes these books so special, it is the stories about people, ordinary and extraordinary. Choosing one book seems an impossible task and we thank the judges for taking on the unenviable responsibility. Many congratulation to James Shapiro."

Sir Leonard Blavatnik, Head of the Blavatnik Family Foundation, says:

"For twenty-five years, the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction has recognized immensely talented authors. We congratulate James Shapiro on this exceptional achievement. We are proud to be the long-time sponsor of the podcasts showcasing the short-listed books and their authors, as well as the annual celebratory gala in London when the winners are announced."

President of digital asset management solution developer sees potential for policies to spur greater consumer and business adoption of cryptocurrencies and government investment in infrastructure.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
President Biden recently signed an executive order establishing a national policy on digital assets, including cryptocurrencies. The order creates an opportunity for policies that, if designed properly, could promote wider adoption of cryptocurrencies by consumers or businesses, according to Gordon Bell, President of Legacy Suite, developers of a comprehensive digital asset management solution including a crypto wallet and monitoring. 

The executive order, signed March 9, recognizes the tremendous scope of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies. The market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is more than $1 trillion, and about 16% of Americans - approximately 40 million people - have invested in, traded, or used cryptocurrencies. 

Bell, a Harvard-educated financial analyst with three decades of experience in investment banking and portfolio management, sees the Biden Administration's action as a potential boon for the digital asset field.  

"While government regulation can often hinder a business, in this case, we believe a supportive regulatory environment can play a significant role in inspiring the mass adoption of cryptocurrency, by providing a clear legal framework for its use and reducing its perceived risks," Bell said.  

The executive order addresses multiple issues, several of them essential to the growth of digital assets. They include: 

• Developing policies to protect consumers, investors and businesses.
• Supporting technological advances and responsible development of digital assets, while prioritizing privacy and security and reducing climate impacts.
• Promoting equitable access to safe and affordable financial services, with an approach to digital asset innovation that aids communities lacking access to financial services.

Bell cited the example of the regulation of security token issuances, or any issuances, as a means of providing investor protection and benefiting the crypto sector as a whole.  

"Taken as a whole, government regulations can help establish a sense of legitimacy and trust in the cryptocurrency market, providing a level of certainty and stability that is crucial for consumer acceptance," he said. 

Bell hopes to see the executive order lead to measures designed to prevent fraud, protect consumers, and ensure that exchanges and other cryptocurrency-related businesses comply with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations. 

However, Bell said the Biden policies should go beyond measures that inspire consumer confidence, to providing direct support to the cryptocurrency sector.

One powerful step would be government investment in blockchain technology, the underlying technology behind cryptocurrencies. "That would demonstrate a commitment to innovation and support the development of a robust and secure digital infrastructure," Bell said. "In turn, that would encourage the private sector to develop more use cases for blockchain and cryptocurrencies, which can ultimately spur wider adoption." 

Finally, government tax policies also can play a strong role in promoting widespread adoption of digital assets, Bell said. He suggested tax incentives, such as exemptions for certain types of cryptocurrency transactions from taxes, or tax breaks for businesses that use digital assets for payments, as tools to encourage transactions in digital assets. 

"Clearly, the Biden Administration recognizes the enormous potential benefits of digital assets, but also the potential risks to consumers from rapid growth with no oversight," Bell said. "Having one unifying framework for the government's cryptocurrency policies can inspire confidence in the market and facilitate the transition to a more decentralized, digital economy."

Developer of password manager and crypto wallet solutions offers tips on how to keep wallets protected from new cyberattack.

NEW YORK, March 29, 2023 (Newswire.com)

Legacy Suite, developer of digital asset management solutions, warns crypto and Ledger users against "Address Poisoning" attacks that can steal their funds.

Scammers are striking crypto users, including Ledger users, by "poisoning" their account via sending a small amount of crypto, usually USDT, MATIC, TRX, or even NFT, often imitating a transaction recorded in the user's transaction history. It looks very similar to the user's own address, with the goal to grab the scammer's address and send funds to their account by mistake.

Check Every Single Character in a Wallet Address

"Address poisoning is a type of cyber-attack in which an attacker attempts to steal funds from a cryptocurrency wallet by modifying the wallet's address," said Azaz Ahmed, chief technology officer of Legacy Suite. "In this attack, the attacker replaces the legitimate address of the wallet with their own address, which allows them to redirect any funds sent to the wallet to their own account."

The scammer makes a custom address with specific characters that are nearly identical to the owner's address. It often includes the same first and last characters. It is important to check every single character in one's wallet address before sending any transaction.

The scammer then sends a very small amount of currency, even $0, via the almost matching dummy wallet, which poisons one's transaction history.

How to Protect Yourself

Legacy Suite offers the following suggestions for safeguarding against address poisoning:

·         Stop copying and pasting your wallet address from your transaction history

·         Manually check your address so it is an exact match before sending any funds

·         Use your wallet's contact book to manage addresses used often

·         Be aware of anyone sending tiny amounts of cryptocurrency

·         Double-check your transaction details on your Ledger

Legacy Suite has a wallet monitoring service designed to keep crypto assets secure 24/7 so that one can quickly take action to prevent any potential losses. "Legacy Suite's wallet protection services, such as wallet monitoring and emergency backup wallet, help to protect against critical threats by providing additional layers of security to your cryptocurrency wallets," Ahmed said.

Wallet monitoring constantly monitors activities associated with one's wallet in case any unauthorized changes occur in real time. The owner is immediately notified if any unusual activity is detected like the addition or modification of a new or existing address allowing for prompt action and the prevention of any unauthorized access to one's funds.

"Legacy Suite's Lifeline, emergency backup wallet, is a service that provides you with a secure backup of your cryptocurrency wallet," Ahmed said. "In the event that your wallet is compromised, you can quickly transfer your funds to another wallet. This protects your funds from being lost or stolen in the event of an attack."

The wallet protection services are an additional layer of security to cryptocurrency wallets and protect them from fraud and other types of cyber-attacks.
