Call me a sucker, but I really like the latest Paramount+ Home of Star Trek commercial
THAT SAID - the Prodigy erasure stings. To me it definitely feels like Paramount is implicitly saying it’s not a part of Star Trek anymore since it’s not on the platform
But if Threshold taught us anything, it’s that you can’t remove something from canon just because you decided you didn’t like it anymore. Prodigy is Star Trek, and it will continue being Star Trek even with a new home
#star trek prodigy#saved star trek prodigy#Star Trek#prodigy is hecking amazing#the prodigy erasure has stung since it was announced they were cutting it#I get that it’s now Netflix’s property and they can’t claim it anymore#prodigy is the most hopeful of the newer iterations to me#long story short I’m a sucker for some nostalgia but that doesn’t mean Paramount hasn’t done some terrible things to the franchise#the commercial is good very nostalgic they’re (almost) all there#remember when they tried to disown threshold come on#you can’t put the salamanders back in the shuttlecraft#they’re out there and they are BELOVED#also bring back ridiculous and bad Star Trek cause ‘fortune favors the bold’ and those silly episodes represent risk taking#risk taking can lead to some of the best works#‘risk is our business’ Kirk himself said it!#do you think we would have Far Beyond the Stars without Move Along Home?#the risk taking is part of why I love voyager (and threshold) so much such high highs and low lows just hits all the right notes#I also have issue with the writing being tightened down so hard that no one can breathe#meta

In the perpetually evolving world of online commerce, the importance of efficient and secure e-commerce payment processing solutions has never been more critical. As businesses adapt to the digital age, ensuring seamless transactions while mitigating risks is essential. This article delves into the future of E-Commerce Payment Processing and how it's set to revolutionize the way we conduct online transactions, from accepting credit cards for high-risk industries to providing hassle-free services like credit repair payment gateways and CBD merchant accounts.

The Power of Payment Processing for High-Risk Industries
When it comes to payment processing for high-risk businesses, traditional methods often fall short. These enterprises, including those involved in credit repair, have faced numerous challenges in accepting payments. However, the future is bright as innovative high-risk merchant processing solutions are emerging. These solutions not only enable them to accept credit cards but also offer enhanced security measures, reducing the risk of fraudulent transactions. One of the key advantages of these high-risk payment gateways is their ability to tailor services to the unique needs of high-risk industries. Whether you're in the credit repair business or dealing with CBD products, having a CBD payment processing system that understands the intricacies of your industry is a game-changer.
The Convenience of Credit Card Payment Services
In the world of E-Commerce, convenience is king. Consumers expect a seamless shopping experience, which includes hassle-free payment options. This is where credit card payment services play a pivotal role. By partnering with a reliable credit and debit card payment processor, businesses can offer their customers a variety of payment methods, enhancing their shopping experience and ultimately boosting sales. The future involves cutting-edge technology that ensures the security of sensitive data. With the rise of cyber threats, consumers are more cautious than ever about sharing their financial information online. Hence, investing in a top-notch online payment gateway is not just a choice but a necessity for businesses aiming to thrive in the competitive e-commerce landscape.
Merchant Processing: A Gateway to Success
A significant component of E-Commerce Payment Processing is merchant processing. This service bridges the gap between businesses and their customers, facilitating transactions smoothly and securely. By partnering with a reputable provider, businesses can ensure that they can confidently accept credit cards for e-commerce operations without the fear of payment disruptions. For high-risk industries, such as credit repair and CBD, finding the right high-risk merchant account is crucial. This ensures that businesses can conduct their operations without unnecessary hindrances. In the coming years, we can expect to see more tailored solutions for these industries, making it easier than ever to accept credit cards for credit repair and accept credit cards for CBD products.
The Future of E-Commerce Credit Card Processing
As we look ahead, the future of E-Commerce credit card processing is rife with possibilities. The technology driving this industry forward is poised to enhance security, streamline transactions, and open new avenues for businesses. With the rapid growth of online shopping, it's essential for businesses to stay ahead of the curve. One of the most promising developments is the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into credit card payment processing systems. These technologies can identify patterns of fraudulent activities and protect both businesses and consumers. Additionally, they can personalize the shopping experience, making recommendations based on past purchases and preferences.

do you think doordash can like ban me if i start seeking out every ghost kitchen/virtual restaurant in my area and rating them all one star while pointing out they're ghost kitchens i think it'd be really funny if i did that
#i'm really high and think this sounds like fun#because fuck ghost kitchens they're soulless and the height of capitalistic greed who drown out local/small businesses#they often have their ratings botted to be high and compete with again smaller businesses#several virtual restaurants is often actually one real restaurant usually from a chain selling extra cheap food in the back but upsold#and they're a fucking health risk#i'd be doing a service#wildemusings

This is because organ transplants are a big deal, and will be until we get to the point of growing organs from your own stem cells. You have to be on strong immunosuppressants, which is a massive host of issues. Like "you should probably wear a mask whenever you go in public, have to take a multi pill regime, and be constantly cleaning your hands. And at the same time most vaccines either won't be safe or won't work". The long term part of the study is finding that there doesn't seem to be an association between the gestating parent being on immunosuppressants and future health of the child. But the vague reference the article makes to some medical professionals thinking that this is foolish really underplays the risk of the procedure. And that you don't get to keep the uterus.
Here's a list of side effects (and this is just the drug side effects, to say nothing of the risk of rejection or side effects specific to it being the uterus, the severity of the surgery, and the complications from pregnancy)
In normal medical stuff, transplant is a last resort. Not just because of limited supply, but because it is so risky.
"The first modern attempt at transferring a uterus from one human to another occurred at the turn of the millennium. But surgeons had to remove the organ, which had become necrotic, 99 days later. The first successful transplant was performed in 2011 — but even then, the recipient wasn’t immediately able to get pregnant and deliver a baby. It took three more years for the first person in the world with a transplanted uterus to give birth.
More than 70 such babies have been born globally in the decade since. “It’s a complete new world,” said Giuliano Testa, chief of abdominal transplant at Baylor University Medical Center.
Almost a third of those babies — 22 and counting — have been born in Dallas at Baylor. On Thursday, Testa and his team published a major cohort study in JAMA analyzing the results from the program’s first 20 patients. All women were of reproductive age and had no uterus (most having been born without one), but had at least one functioning ovary. Most of the uteri came from living donors, but two came from deceased donors.
Fourteen women had successful transplants, all of whom were able to have at least one baby.
“That success rate is extraordinary, and I want that to get out there,” said Liza Johannesson, the medical director of uterus transplants at Baylor, who works with Testa and co-authored the study. “We want this to be an option for all women out there that need it.”
Six patients had transplant failures, all within two weeks of the procedure. Part of the problem may have been a learning curve: The study initially included only 10 patients, and five of the six with failed transplants were in that first group. These were “technical” failures, Testa said, involving aspects of the surgery such as how surgeons connected the organ’s blood vessels, what material was used for sutures, and selecting a uterus that would work well in a transplant.
The team saw only one transplant fail in the second group of 10 people, the researchers said. All 20 transplants took place between September 2016 and August 2019.
Only one other cohort study has previously been published on uterus transplants, in 2022. A Swedish team, which included Johannesson before she moved to Baylor, performed seven successful transplants out of nine attempts. Six women, including the first transplant recipient to ever deliver a baby back in 2014, gave birth.
“It’s hard to extract data from that, because they were the first ones that did it,” Johannesson said. “This is the first time we can actually see the safety and efficacy of this procedure properly.”
So far, the signs are good: High success rates for transplants and live births, safe and healthy children so far, and early signs that immunosuppressants — typically given to transplant recipients so their bodies don’t reject the new organ — may not cause long-term harm, the researchers said. (The uterine transplants are removed after recipients no longer need them to deliver children.) And the Baylor team has figured out how to identify the right uterus for transfer: It should be from a donor who has had a baby before, is premenopausal, and, of course, who matches the blood type of the recipient, Testa said...
“They’ve really embraced the idea of practicing improvement as you go along, to understand how to make this safer or more effective. And that’s reflected in the results,” said Jessica Walter, an assistant professor of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, who co-authored an editorial on the research in JAMA...
Walter was a skeptic herself when she first learned about uterine transplants. The procedure seemed invasive and complicated. But she did her fellowship training at Penn Medicine, home to one of just four programs in the U.S. doing uterine transplants.
“The firsts — the first time the patient received a transplant, the first time she got her period after the transplant, the positive pregnancy test,” Walter said. “Immersing myself in the science, the patients, the practitioners, and researchers — it really changed my opinion that this is science, and this is an innovation like anything else.” ...
Many transgender women are hopeful that uterine transplants might someday be available for them, but it’s likely a far-off possibility. Scientists need to rewind and do animal studies on how a uterus might fare in a different “hormonal milieu” before doing any clinical trials of the procedure with trans people, Wagner said.
Among cisgender women, more long-term research is still needed on the donors, recipients, and the children they have, experts said.
“We want other centers to start up,” Johannesson said. “Our main goal is to publish all of our data, as much as we can.”"

Are Government Bond Rates Rising? What It Means for Investors
In today’s volatile financial landscape, government bond rates are a significant factor influencing investment decisions. Recently, investors have noticed fluctuations in these rates, raising questions about the long-term effects on portfolios, particularly for those seeking stable, low-risk bonds. This article examines why government bond rates are rising, the impact on investors, and how you can identify the top bond investment opportunities in this evolving environment.
What Are Government Bond Rates?
Government bond rates refer to the interest rates paid by the government to bondholders. These rates, set at the time of issuance, influence the returns investors receive and serve as a benchmark for other interest rates in the economy. Government bonds are typically viewed as low-risk bonds because they’re backed by the government’s credit, making them a popular choice among conservative investors.
Why Are Government Bond Rates Important?
Government bond rates impact a wide array of financial instruments, from mortgages to corporate bonds. When government bond rates rise, it often signals changes in the economy, particularly regarding inflation and interest rates. Investors monitor these rates closely, as they provide insights into the economy’s health and influence decisions on whether to seek low-risk bonds or higher-yield alternatives.
Why Are Government Bond Rates Rising?
Several factors contribute to rising government bond rates, including:
1. Inflation Concerns
When inflation rates increase, the purchasing power of future bond payments decreases. To compensate, governments often raise bond rates to make bonds more attractive to investors and offset inflation risks.
2. Economic Growth
When economies grow, central banks may raise interest rates to prevent overheating, which also affects government bond rates. As a result, rising government bond rates often correlate with economic expansion, as central banks aim to balance growth and inflation.
3. Interest Rate Policy Changes
Government bond rates are sensitive to policy changes by central banks. If a central bank raises interest rates, government bond yields typically follow suit. This adjustment ensures that the bond market remains competitive and attractive to investors.
4. Supply and Demand Dynamics
In times of high demand for government bonds, yields may decrease due to competitive pricing. However, when demand slows or supply increases, bond rates rise to attract more investors.
Understanding these factors helps investors make informed decisions, especially those interested in top bond investment opportunities and low-risk bonds.
The Impact of Rising Government Bond Rates on Investors
1. Attractive Returns for Bond Investors
Higher government bond rates mean better returns for investors. For those seeking stable income from low-risk bonds, rising rates offer an opportunity to earn more with minimal risk, making government bonds more appealing.
2. Portfolio Adjustments
Rising government bond rates can lead investors to rebalance their portfolios. For example, investors may shift from stocks to bonds as bonds become more lucrative, particularly if stock market volatility remains high.
3. Changes in Borrowing Costs
Higher government bond rates also increase borrowing costs. This can affect the economy and businesses, potentially impacting corporate bond yields and prompting investors to favor top bond investment opportunities with government securities instead.
4. Opportunity for Laddered Bond Portfolios
Bond ladders involve purchasing bonds with different maturities, creating a steady stream of returns. With rising government bond rates, laddered portfolios can offer enhanced returns over time, as higher-yield bonds replace maturing ones.
Evaluating Top Bond Investment Opportunities Amid Rising Rates
When government bond rates rise, it creates a unique environment for bond investors. Here are some strategies and opportunities to consider:
1. Short-Term Bonds for Flexibility
In a rising rate environment, short-term bonds provide flexibility, allowing investors to reinvest in higher-rate bonds as they mature. Treasury bills, for instance, have short maturities and can help investors capitalize on rising rates.
2. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)
TIPS offer protection against inflation, making them attractive when inflation is high and rates are rising. Their principal adjusts with inflation, ensuring that returns align with real purchasing power.
3. Laddered Government Bonds
A bond ladder, which includes bonds of varying maturities, allows investors to manage risk while benefitting from higher rates over time. This strategy reduces the risk of reinvesting all funds at once and provides a steady income stream.
4. Municipal Bonds
Municipal bonds, issued by local and state governments, provide tax advantages that can add to their appeal. Although slightly riskier than federal government bonds, they are generally stable and can offer competitive returns, especially in a rising-rate environment.
5. Diversified Bond Funds
For those preferring a managed approach, diversified bond funds focused on government bonds and other low-risk bonds can offer exposure to rising rates. Managed funds adjust holdings to take advantage of rate changes, simplifying investment decisions for individuals.
Strategies to Navigate Rising Government Bond Rates
With the right strategies, investors can leverage rising rates for financial gain:
1. Monitor Rate Changes Regularly
Tracking rate announcements and economic reports allows investors to make timely adjustments, especially for those relying on low-risk bonds. Staying informed can help investors seize opportunities as rates increase.
2. Balance with Other Assets
While government bonds are low-risk, combining them with other assets like high-yield bonds or stocks can enhance returns. A diversified portfolio balances stability with growth potential, even in a rising-rate environment.
3. Reinvest Interest Payments
Reinvesting interest payments or returns from maturing bonds can boost the compounding effect, particularly as bond rates rise. This approach enables investors to grow wealth steadily, even with conservative investments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Are government bond rates expected to keep rising?
Government bond rates are influenced by economic conditions, inflation, and central bank policies. If inflation and growth continue, rates may rise, but they can also stabilize depending on economic policy.
2. How do rising government bond rates impact low-risk bonds?
Rising rates increase returns on government and low-risk bonds, making them more appealing to investors seeking safe, stable income. However, existing bonds with lower rates may decrease in value in the secondary market.
3. What are some top bond investment opportunities amid rising rates?
In a rising-rate environment, short-term bonds, TIPS, municipal bonds, and laddered bond strategies offer appealing opportunities for investors.
4. Are government bonds still a good investment in a high-rate environment?
Yes, government bonds remain attractive for risk-averse investors, as they provide stable returns even when rates are high. Higher rates offer better yields without sacrificing safety.
5. Should I choose short-term or long-term bonds when rates are rising?
Short-term bonds are often preferred in rising-rate environments, as they allow for reinvestment at higher rates sooner. However, long-term bonds can lock in current rates if you expect rates to stabilize or fall in the future.
Conclusion: What Rising Government Bond Rates Mean for Your Investment Strategy
Rising government bond rates present both challenges and opportunities for investors. Higher rates enhance the appeal of government bonds, especially for those seeking stable, low-risk bonds. By understanding the factors driving rate changes, investors can make strategic adjustments to their portfolios, capitalize on top bond investment opportunities, and balance low-risk bonds with other assets for a diversified approach.
Whether you’re an experienced investor or new to the bond market, navigating government bond rates effectively can pave the way for secure, long-term growth.

Understanding Business Lines of Credit: How They Work and When to Use Them
In today's fast-paced business world, having access to flexible financing options is crucial for maintaining a smooth cash flow and seizing growth opportunities. One of the most versatile financing solutions available to businesses is a business line of credit. Unlike traditional loans, which provide a lump sum of money upfront, a business line of credit offers a revolving source of funds that you can draw from whenever you need it. By understanding how they work and when to use them, you can make informed financial decisions that will benefit your business in the long run. To explore your options, consider Greenbox Capital for business lines of credit tailored to various needs
What Is a Business Line of Credit?
A business line of credit is a flexible financing option that allows businesses to borrow funds as needed, up to a predetermined credit limit. It works similarly to a credit card but often with lower interest rates and more significant borrowing potential. Once approved, you can withdraw funds from your line of credit whenever your business requires financial support, such as covering operational expenses, purchasing inventory, or managing cash flow gaps.
How Does a Business Line of Credit Work?
A business line of credit functions on a revolving basis, meaning you only pay interest on the amount you borrow, not the entire credit limit. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:
Approval and Credit Limit: Once your business is approved for a line of credit, the lender will assign a credit limit based on your business's financial health, credit score, and revenue. This limit represents the maximum amount you can borrow at any given time.
Drawing Funds: You can draw funds from the line of credit whenever needed, up to your credit limit. The funds can be used for various purposes, such as covering unexpected expenses or taking advantage of growth opportunities.
Repayment: As you repay the borrowed amount, those funds become available again, allowing you to continue using the credit line as needed. This revolving nature makes it a flexible and ongoing financing solution.
Interest Charges: You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, not on the entire credit limit. This means that if you only use a portion of the available funds, your interest charges will be lower.
Types of Business Lines of Credit
There are two main types of business lines of credit: secured and unsecured. Each has its advantages and is suitable for different business needs.
1. Secured Business Line of Credit
A secured line of credit requires you to pledge collateral, such as inventory, equipment, or real estate, to secure the borrowed funds. Because the lender has an asset to fall back on in case of default, secured lines of credit often come with lower interest rates and higher credit limits.
Pros:
Lower interest rates
Higher credit limits
Easier approval for businesses with limited credit history
Cons:
Risk of losing collateral if you default
Lengthier application process due to collateral assessment
2. Unsecured Business Line of Credit
An unsecured line of credit does not require any collateral, making it an ideal option for businesses that prefer not to risk their assets. However, since there is no collateral to back the loan, lenders typically charge higher interest rates and may offer lower credit limits.
Pros:
No need for collateral
Faster approval process
Suitable for businesses with solid credit history
Cons:
Higher interest rates
Lower credit limits
More challenging approval process for businesses with limited credit history
When Should You Use a Business Line of Credit?
A business line of credit can be a valuable financial tool in various situations. Here are some scenarios when a line of credit is most beneficial:
1. Managing Cash Flow Gaps
One of the most common uses of a business line of credit is to manage cash flow gaps, especially for businesses with seasonal fluctuations. For example, a retail business might experience slower sales in the off-season but still need to cover expenses like rent, utilities, and payroll. A line of credit can provide the funds necessary to maintain operations until sales pick up.
2. Covering Unexpected Expenses
Unexpected expenses can arise at any time, such as equipment breakdowns, emergency repairs, or sudden increases in inventory costs. A business line of credit can help you cover these costs without disrupting your cash flow or resorting to high-interest loans.
3. Taking Advantage of Opportunities
Sometimes, an unexpected opportunity arises that could benefit your business, such as a bulk discount on inventory or a chance to expand your operations. Having a line of credit in place allows you to act quickly and capitalize on these opportunities without waiting for loan approval.
4. Building Business Credit
Using a business line of credit responsibly can help build your business credit score over time. By making timely payments and keeping your credit utilization low, you demonstrate to lenders that your business is a reliable borrower. This can improve your chances of securing larger loans or more favorable financing terms in the future.
