Arizona is breaking the mold again with an interesting approach, at least for XRP Ripple holders. While other states are tentatively exploring Bitcoin, a bold proposal in the Grand Canyon State aims to establish a digital asset reserve fund that specifically includes XRP and DigiByte. Supported by several lawmakers, the proposal aims to broaden the state’s holdings beyond a single dominant asset.

In ancient Egypt, writ­ing hiero­glyphs was a high­ly spe­cial­ized skill, one com­mand­ed by only a small frac­tion of the pop­u­la­tion.

The most mon­u­men­tal or reli­gious­ly impor­tant texts, how­ev­er, got carved into stone, thus ensur­ing the words a kind of eter­nal life — a par­tic­u­lar con­cern in the cas­es of tomb…

Robert Carlock, the showrunner for “30 Rock” and creator of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” is back on network TV with a show that could be called “Remember How Funny Tracy Morgan Can Be?” A show built around Morgan’s goofy, likable personality, “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” features Carlock’s quick wit, spoofing sports culture and documentary filmmaking while ultimately being about second chances and defying expectations. Most importantly, after some rocky early episodes, it’s a consistently funny show that could stand alongside Carlock’s previously acclaimed creations. Co-created by Carlock and Sam Means (an Emmy winner for “The Daily Show with…

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko was praised by interim boss Michael Carrick after he came off the bench to score for the third time in four matches in the 1-0 victory at Everton. Sesko ran on to Bryan Mbeumo’s pass to calmly slot his sixth goal in his last seven appearances – having managed just two goals in his first 17 games for the club this season. Sesko has still not managed to force his way into the starting line-up and, while Carrick said there was maybe some frustration for the £66m summer signing, the 22-year-old was not complaining. “I…
