ELYSIAN BREWING TEAMS UP WITH GEORGETOWN

Brace yourselves, mortals and otherworldly souls, for Elysian Brewing, the masterminds behind the first-ever Imperial Pumpkin Ale, are back to send shivers down your spine this Halloween. There’s nothing scarier than standing face to face with the empty shelves of a costume store right before Halloween, so two Seattle staples have joined forces to prevent last-minute costume debacles and ensure you have something memorably terrifying in time for Halloween. Georgetown Morgue, Seattle’s premier haunted house, and Elysian Brewing are set to summon terror on the Emerald City with the introduction of “Morbid Makeover,” a sweepstake that will offer five winners the chance to undergo the ultimate haunted makeover.

As part of “Morbid Makeover,” five twisted souls will encounter an eerie transformation that will leave them spooked at the site of their own reflection. Each of the unlucky winners will partake in an exclusive costume fitting at the infamous Georgetown Morgue, where they will have the chance to take on a bone-chilling Halloween persona, guided by the nimble hands of the haunted house’s professional team of costume designers and makeup artists. From sinister doctors and malevolent nurses to ravenous zombies and creaking skeletons that are sure to haunt your dreams, each custom costume will be more hair-raising than the next and, best of all, it’s theirs to keep.

Seattle residents ages 21+ who are brave enough to enter can do so by visiting any of Elysian’s three pubs to fill out an entry form between Tuesday, October 10 through Wednesday, October 18. No purchase is required to enter, so do so at your own risk. Winners will be notified on Thursday, October 19, and following their fitting, will pick up the personalized costume and have their makeup applied on Saturday, October 28, at Elysian Brewing’s Capitol Hill location.

“We brewed a possessed pumpkin beer with Chucky in 2022, and created the world’s scariest delivery service the year prior to that,”saidJoe Bisacca, co-founder of Elysian Brewing. “Morbid Makeover is the next chapter in Halloween horror courtesy of Elysian Brewing. If you haven’t already guessed, we’re about as pumped up for Halloween as we are for pumpkin beer.”

Once equipped with an extraordinary costume, all that’s needed is a party to flaunt it at. On Saturday, October 28th, from 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM, Elysian will also transform its Capitol Hill brewery into the ultimate destination for horror fans and thrill seekers alike as they host a free Halloween party for ages 21+ filled with pumpkin-infused elixirs, pulsating beats spun by a menacing live DJ, pumpkin-tapping ceremonies that might just awaken ancient spirits, and a cauldron full of spine-tingling surprises.

Those located outside of Seattle can still participate by purchasing one of Elysian’s famous Pumpkin Packs, which are available nationwide. Head over to find.elysianbrewing.com to locate one near you. Trust us, this variety pack is to die for!

Quantum Insights for Bitcoin Enthusiasts

As quantum computers loom on the horizon with the potential to disrupt cryptographic security, exploration delves into the quantum threats and strategies for future-proofing Bitcoin. The aforementioned potential quantum advancements could possibly reshape the cryptocurrency landscape. In the realm of digital currency, platforms like https://profit-edge.com/ offer users a glimpse into the intricate world of crypto trading. As you delve deeper into quantum insights, understanding these platforms becomes paramount for any Bitcoin enthusiast.

The Quantum Threat to Bitcoin

Quantum computing represents a significant leap in computational ability, a leap that could, in theory, disrupt the cryptographic systems that underlie most of our digital infrastructure, including Bitcoin. Traditional computers, based on classical physics, interpret information as either zeros or ones.

This inherent power of quantum computers has the potential to easily break traditional encryption methods, especially those that have remained unchallenged by classical computers. Bitcoin’s security, for instance, relies heavily on cryptographic techniques. Its very essence, from the generation of wallet addresses to the validation of transactions, depends on cryptographic algorithms that were designed to be secure against conventional computers.

One particular vulnerability is Bitcoin’s use of public key cryptography. When a Bitcoin transaction is signed, the public key is revealed. With current technology, deriving a private key from its corresponding public key is unfeasible due to the immense computational power required.

But it’s not just the individual transactions that are at risk. If quantum computers can break the cryptographic foundation of Bitcoin, they might be able to forge transactions or even undermine the blockchain’s integrity. This threat extends to potential risks like address reuse and issues like transaction malleability, which can further weaken the robustness of the Bitcoin network.

Future-proofing Bitcoin against Quantum Threats

As the quantum threat looms on the horizon, the Bitcoin community is not sitting idle. There’s a growing recognition that preparation is key to safeguarding the future of cryptocurrency in a world where quantum computers could potentially crack the cryptographic foundations that secure it.

One promising avenue of defense is the adoption of post-quantum cryptography. Unlike classical cryptographic methods that rely on mathematical problems difficult for classical computers to solve, post-quantum cryptography aims to create algorithms that remain secure even against the computational prowess of quantum computers. This includes cryptographic schemes that leverage the inherent complexity of mathematical problems that are hard even for quantum computers to tackle.

The exploration of post-quantum cryptography is not limited to the Bitcoin community alone. The broader cryptographic and cybersecurity research community has been actively engaged in identifying and developing quantum-resistant cryptographic primitives. These endeavors, along with collaboration between researchers, developers, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, will be crucial in fortifying Bitcoin’s defenses against quantum threats.

In addition to adopting new cryptographic techniques, the Bitcoin community has been actively discussing and proposing various initiatives to enhance the network’s quantum resilience. These initiatives range from upgrading the network’s protocol to implementing measures that detect and respond to potential quantum attacks.

Quantum Advancements Beneficial to Bitcoin

Beyond the realm of threat, quantum advancements also bring potential opportunities and enhancements to the world of Bitcoin. While the focus has often been on the vulnerabilities that quantum computers pose to cryptographic security, there’s a flip side to this narrative – the potential benefits that quantum technologies could offer to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

One of the most exciting possibilities lies in the realm of quantum-enhanced security. Quantum cryptography, a field that exploits the principles of quantum mechanics to create inherently secure communication channels, could play a pivotal role in bolstering the security of Bitcoin transactions. Quantum key distribution (QKD), for instance, enables two parties to establish a shared encryption key with absolute security, as any eavesdropping attempts would disturb the quantum state and be immediately detectable.

Additionally, quantum technologies might bring efficiency upgrades to the process of Bitcoin mining. Mining, a resource-intensive process that validates and adds new transactions to the blockchain, could potentially benefit from quantum computing’s ability to solve complex mathematical problems more efficiently.

Moreover, quantum computing could enable advancements in transaction processing. Bitcoin’s current transaction processing time can sometimes lead to delays, especially during periods of high demand. Quantum computing’s computational power could help streamline and expedite transaction confirmations, making the entire system more responsive and user-friendly.

Conclusion

The interplay between quantum mechanics and Bitcoin illustrates a dynamic relationship between challenges and opportunities. As the quantum threat underscores the need for vigilance, the proactive approach to quantum-proofing Bitcoin showcases the resilience of the cryptocurrency community.

Rarely has a book series created its own unique category, a cross between Charles Dickens and Ian Fleming, while removing common literary devices such as mythology and witchcraft. Teenagers and adults connect with genuine characters and authentic situations in a world people can relate to. This type of writing breaks the fourth wall of fiction, reaching the hearts and minds of all demographics. Quoted as “a combination of C. S. Lewis and Dan Brown,” other reviewers have said it’s a blend of “Oliver Twist, Les Miserables, and Sherlock Holmes.”

The first of seven live-action Britfield movies will redefine the industry, causing a major paradigm shift. Several award-winning directors are being considered, along with top British actors for the main and supporting roles of Detective Gowerstone, Professor Hainsworth, and Mr. and Mrs. Grievous. 12-year-old Sarah Wallace and Tom will be played by two up-and-coming young actors. Pre-production is tentatively planned for spring 2024, followed by principal photography in England and Eastern Europe in the fall of 2024. Global release could be as soon as November or December 2025.

The Britfield & the Lost Crown series is unique for the literary and film industry as it does not rely on heightened fantasy, demigods, or superheroes. Taking place in current time and using authentic locations, the real-life story creates a new category of family adventure and entertainment. Based on industry research, Britfield is projected to become one of the most successful films in cinematic history, rivaling the original Star Wars (1977), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005), Night at the Museum (2006), and Harry Potter (2001-2011).

How PSLF Shapes

The Next Generation of Healthcare Professionals

A career in healthcare is an exciting endeavor that comes with diverse experiences and the ability to positively impact people’s lives. However, the journey to becoming a healthcare professional often comes with a significant price tag in the form of student loans. For many aspiring healthcare professionals, there is relief through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. Let’s explore how PSLF is shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals by providing much-needed student loan forgiveness opportunities.

The Burden of Student Loan Debt in Healthcare

Healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, dentists, and pharmacists, often require extensive education and training. As a result, many accrue substantial student loan debt while pursuing their degrees. The weight of this debt can be a burden, especially for those passionate about providing care to underserved populations in public sector jobs, which may come with lower salaries upon graduation.

The Promise of Public Service Loan Forgiveness

The PSLF program, established in 2007, was designed to address this issue. It offers a clear path to loan forgiveness for individuals who work in qualifying public service jobs, including healthcare roles, typically after making 120 qualifying monthly payments. For healthcare professionals, this means that a significant portion of their student loan debt can be forgiven in exchange for a commitment to serve in public health settings.

Influencing Career Choices

PSLF has a profound influence on the career choices of aspiring healthcare professionals. Many individuals are drawn to healthcare careers out of a genuine desire to help others and make a difference in their communities. However, the burden of student loans can lead some to prioritize higher-paying positions in private practice over lower-paying but socially impactful roles in public service.

PSLF aims to change this dynamic. It allows healthcare professionals to pursue their passion for public service without being saddled with insurmountable debt. This freedom of choice enables them to work in areas with the greatest need, such as rural communities, underserved urban neighborhoods, and public health organizations, where their skills are often in high demand.

Expanding Access to Healthcare

The impact of PSLF on healthcare access cannot be overstated. By incentivizing healthcare professionals to work in underserved areas and nonprofit organizations, the program helps ensure essential care to vulnerable populations. Patients in these communities benefit from improved access to medical care, preventive services, and health education.

Supporting Long-Term Health Goals

The PSLF program also aligns with the long-term health goals of the nation. By fostering a new generation of healthcare professionals dedicated to public service, it contributes to the overall well-being of communities. Preventive care, disease management, and health education become more accessible, leading to healthier populations and reduced healthcare costs over time.

A Healthier Future

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare in the United States by expanding healthcare access, supporting underserved communities, and opening up more career paths for young healthcare leaders. As the program continues to evolve and adapt, it holds the promise of an even brighter future for healthcare professionals and the patients they serve.

GEGO. MEASURING INFINITY

Gego is one of the most significant artists to emerge from the Latin American scene during the second half of the 20th century, whose career traced a markedly individual path, which defied categorization.

– Organized chronologically and thematically, the exhibition examines the artist’s formal and conceptual contributions through her organic forms, linear structures, and modular abstractions.

– Through nearly 150 sculptures, drawings, prints, textiles, publications, and photographs, Gego. Measuring Infinity situates the artist’s practice in the artistic contexts of Latin America and considers her intersections with and departures from key art movements, such as Geometric Abstraction or Kinetic Art.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents Gego. Measuring Infinity, a major retrospective offering a fully integrated view of the work by German-Venezuelan artist Gertrud Goldschmidt (b. 1912, Hamburg; d. 1994, Caracas), also known as Gego, and her distinctive approach to the language of abstraction. Sponsored by Seguros Bilbao (will become Occident) and arranged chronologically and thematically, the exhibition examines the artist’s formal and conceptual contributions through her organic forms, linear structures, and modular abstractions.

Nearly 150 works from the early 1950s through the early 1990s are featured including sculptures, drawings, prints, textiles, and artist’s books, alongside photographic images of installations and public artworks, sketches, publications, and letters. Situating Gego’s practice in the artistic contexts of Latin America that transpired over the course of her lengthy career, the survey also considers her intersections with—and departures from—key transnational art movements such as Geometric Abstraction and Kinetic Art.
