Lifetime movie ‘An Amish Sin’ aims to shed light on child sexual abuse victims: ‘There’s always hope’

Posted on 24/05/2023

Joanna Yoder is hopeful that a new Lifetime film will raise awareness on a case she’s been trying to spotlight for years.

On Saturday, the network is airing a scripted drama titled “An Amish Sin,” a film in which she served as a consultant. The movie, inspired by true stories, tells the story of an Amish teen who refuses to marry the man who abused her as a child. She goes to escape her insular community and makes her way to a neighboring city. The film stars Dylan Ratzlaff, Kellie Martin and Rukiya Bernard.

“I grew up Mennonite, which is very similar to the Amish,” Yoder explained to Fox News Digital. “… I was 48 years old when I finally got the courage to go to law enforcement and report the crimes that had happened to me when I was a child. It took me years to get to a place where I felt like I was able to do that. I just wasn’t ready or able [to do it before]. It took me a while to heal from my trauma and the things that had happened. But now, I feel like I have a voice. So I wanted to

THORChain network halted following software bug

Posted on 17/05/2023

Cross-chain exchange and proof-of-bond network THORChain was halted earlier today as the result of a bug causing “non-determinism between individual nodes.”

At around 8 pm UTC, the THORChain team initially tweeted that developers were aware of a chain outage and were working to find the root cause of the issue.

Roughly four hours later, the team posted a further update noting that “consensus halts in a distributed state machine are from sources of non-determinism between individual nodes and prevent the ledger from becoming corrupted.”

It stated that the next steps were to find the source of the non-determinism, release an update, and restart the state machine, and while noting that step one was close, there have been no updates since, suggesting the developers are dealing with a fair bit of a headache.

According to THORChain explorer, the network still appears to be halted at the time of writing. However, the token swapping platform

The Network’s Coverage Can Shape the Future

Posted on 25/04/2023

Flashback to two years ago, on the eve of the 2020 presidential election. IndieWire made a recommendation that, even if you never watched Fox News Channel, this might be a good time to give it a shot. We thought it would be interesting, but didn’t realize how right we were.

Fox’s early and near-solitary call that Joe Biden won Arizona had an immense impact on what became a long and drawn-out process of certifying his victory. To this day, that reality hasn’t been accepted by many Republicans — including Arizona’s current Republican nominee for governor, who based her campaign on election denial.

That accurate projection drew the displeasure of the White House, but Fox stuck by it — a decision that deflated then-President Donald Trump’s plan to declare an unfounded victory before supporters that evening.

Early calls can make a huge difference. In 2000, when the national broadcast networks declared George W. Bush the winner only to retract the call 90 minutes later, Republicans then claimed no other result was credible — even when it turned out to be far from resolved.

Despite its conservative bias, Fox News has earned a reputation for playing it straight with

A new blockchain-based international payment system could soon take shape, if Russian President Vladimir Putin gets his way.

The remarks from Putin about a potential blockchain-based digital payment system were given during a conference on artificial intelligence (AI) hosted by the major Russian bank Sberbank. And according to Putin, it is the international sanctions on Russia that has brought to light the need for an alternative payment system.

“All of us know very well that settlements are one of the possible methods of attack under the current circumstances of illegal restrictions. Our financial institutions know this better than anyone else because they are working under them,” the president said in his speech at the event.

The Russian president has for some time now made it clear that he is keen on developing alternatives to today’s international payments system, which he considers is controlled by the West. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Western governments cut off access to the international payments network SWIFT for a number of Russian banks, while also freezing reserve assets held overseas by the Russian central bank.

“The current
