Nuggets’ Jamal Murray says T-Wolves’ defensive narrative fueled Game 5 eruption

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:24 GMT

Jamal Murray sliced through the guts of Minnesota’s defense before flipping the ball, blindly, in the vague direction of the hoop.After his reverse layup fell on the first possession of the second half, Murray was planted on the baseline, preening at his circus shot and the foul that came along with it.“I mean, I do that sometimes,” he said from the postgame podium after torching the Timberwolves for 35 points in 41 minutes, ousting Minnesota from the playoffs with a gripping Game 5 win. Murray’s passionate, emotional brand of basketball was vital against a T-Wolves team that refused to quit, and on a night when Denver didn’t engage until the second half.Without Murray’s rare ability to perform when the pressure mounts, the Nuggets are probably headed back to Minneapolis for Game 6. Instead, they’ve bought themselves a handful of invaluable rest days before opening on Saturday against Phoenix in Game 1.Like Easter eggs buried throughout the lower bowl, Murray dropped little hi...

New EU crypto rules are good news for consumers and fight against money laundering, but their heavy carbon footprint remains a major concern

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:24 GMT

The new EU legislative package on crypto-assets that was voted by the European Parliament on 25 April will ensure better protection of consumers and a more effective fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. However, with this rapidly developing market, more action is necessary to offset risks, urge S&Ds. Furthermore, from an ecological point of view, a huge carbon footprint of crypto-assets remains a major concern. They use up as much energy as electric cars. Throughout the process of adopting this legislation, the S&D Group has been pushing for clearer and more stringent rules on the sustainability standards, but these efforts were unfortunately blocked by the conservatives and the liberals, with the support of the far-right in the Parliament. We will continue to strive for environment-friendly cryptocurrencies. Eero Heinäluoma, S&D negotiator on the EU legislation on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), said: “The EU is a pioneer in regulating the cry...

Europe pioneering crypto-currencies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:24 GMT

“The new European rules for crypto-currencies are a quantum leap forward for all - for customers, investors, service providers and for innovation in Europe," said Stefan Berger MEP, who negotiated the new European regulatory framework for crypto-assets (MiCA), which were voted on by the European Parliament on 25 April.“We are paving the way for a harmonized market that will provide legal certainty for crypto-asset issuers, guarantee equal rights for service providers and ensure high standards for consumers and investors. With millions of Europeans already using Bitcoin and other digital assets, it was high time to set clear rules to ensure against abuses like fraud, money laundering and tax evasion”, Berger emphasised.So far, there have been no EU-wide rules for crypto-assets, only divergent national laws. “With this Regulation, we are providing the trust that young technologies need in order to develop further. We are bringing stability to a young, unpredictable industry,” accordin...

“Tenemos que estar preocupados”: organizaciones alertan por ataques a otras píldoras abortivas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:24 GMT

WASHINGTON DC – Organizaciones defensoras del aborto en Estados Unidos alertaron este martes sobre un posible ataque a otro tipo de píldoras abortivas, después de que el acceso a la mifepristona se viera amenazado recientemente.Tanto la mifepristona como el misoprostol son píldoras abortivas ampliamente utilizadas en EEUU para interrumpir el embarazo. El Tribunal Supremo del país decidió el pasado viernes mantener el acceso a la píldora abortiva mifepristona, suspendiendo de momento las restricciones que un tribunal de apelaciones había ordenado la semana pasada.Tras los esfuerzos para restringir su uso, ahora las organizaciones alertan de que el misoprostol está en el punto de mira de los detractores del aborto en el país.Mini Timmaraju, presidenta de la organización NARAL Pro-Choice America, explicó que, después de “ir detrás de la mifepristona sin éxito”, los extremistas tratarán de atacar al misoprostol: “Tenemos que estar preocupados por eso”, añad...
