Teri M. Brown’s latest novel, Daughters of Green Mountain Gap, has taken the literary world by storm, earning multiple prestigious awards and critical acclaim.

- A Riveting Story of Family, Tradition, and the Clash Between Old and New
At the heart of Daughters of Green Mountain Gap is the story of three generations of women—Maggie McCoury, her daughter Carrie Ann, and her granddaughter Josie Mae—each grappling with their own beliefs, challenges, and identities. Maggie, a respected Appalachian granny woman, is a generational healer who relies on the wisdom passed down through family traditions, folklore, and insights from a local Cherokee tribe. She believes that the roots, herbs, and a dash of mountain magic she uses are the best remedies for the ailments of her community.
In contrast, her daughter Carrie Ann has embraced modernity. Armed with her university education, she is convinced that the answers to life’s problems lie in the scientific medicine available at the town’s apothecary. The tension between the two women’s beliefs creates a powerful dynamic, as they clash over the best ways to heal and protect their loved ones. Josie Mae, the granddaughter, finds herself torn between these two worlds—caught between the deep-rooted traditions of her grandmother and the modern approaches advocated by her mother.
As the narrative unfolds, the family faces a profound crisis that neither tradition nor science seems capable of resolving. This crisis forces them to confront their deepest fears and question the very foundations of their beliefs. The novel not only explores the intricacies of family relationships but also sheds light on broader themes such as racism, fear of change, and the loss of traditions in a rapidly evolving world.

Riema Labs Inc. (Nubit) Unveils Goldinals: The Unified Protocol for Bitcoin Assets
Summary: Riema Labs Inc. (Nubit) introduces Goldinals, a Bitcoin-native token protocol designed to unify fragmented asset standards, enable programmability, and bring trustless innovation to Bitcoin.
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands – Bitcoin’s growing ecosystem has given rise to various meta-protocols like BRC-20, Ordinals, and Runes, creating a fragmented and often inefficient environment for digital assets. Riema Labs Inc. (Nubit), a pioneer in Bitcoin-native infrastructure, has unveiled Goldinals, a unified protocol for Bitcoin assets, a trust-minimized fungible token standard that promises to unify these protocols and bring advanced programmability to Bitcoin, all while adhering to Bitcoin’s core principles of security and decentralization.
What Is Goldinals?
Goldinals is a unified protocol for Bitcoin assets.
Bitcoins unmatched security has solidified its dominance, but its lack of global state and native programmability has limited its utility for asset issuance. Protocols like BRC-20 and Ordinals rely on off-chain indexers, introducing inefficiencies and trust issues.
Goldinals eliminates these pain points by bringing two advancements:
- A unified, trust-minimized protocol that allows seamless interoperability across existing standards like BRC-20, Ordinals, Runes, and CAT. Developers no longer need to design fragmented, one-off solutions for new assets.
- Native programmability powered by BitVM, enabling the on-chain execution of advanced logic such as token gating, multi-signature wallets, and conditional transfers–all without sacrificing Bitcoin’s core principles of security and decentralization.
For developers, Goldinals offers an ERC-20-inspired API—Deploy, Mint, Transfer, and Burn–making it intuitive to create scalable applications. For users, Goldinals ensures that all operations are validated directly on-chain, delivering a seamless, secure, and unified experience for Bitcoin-native assets.
Unifying Bitcoin’s Asset Ecosystem
Bitcoin’s asset ecosystem has become a tangle of competing protocols, each with its strengths and limitations. BRC-20, for example, enabled native tokens on Bitcoin but relies heavily on centralized indexers for state management, creating vulnerabilities. Ordinals revolutionized data inscription but offers limited programmability. Other protocols, like CAT, require changes to Bitcoin’s consensus rules, which makes widespread adoption impractical.
Goldinals solves these problems by unifying Bitcoin’s asset ecosystem into a single standard that combines compatibility, security, cost-efficiency and scalability. Key features include:
- Full compatibility with existing protocols like BRC-20 and Ordinals, ensuring that developers don’t need to reinvent the wheel to build new features.
- Interoperability across applications, enabling seamless integration of both current and future innovations.
- Trust minimization, achieved by validating every operation directly on Bitcoin using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and BitVM, eliminating reliance on centralized services or external indexers.
- Reduced transaction costs and improved scalability, powered by ZKPs for state compression and BitVM for off-chain computation. This ensures even complex operations are efficient, cost-effective, and secure.
Goldinals creates an environment where wallets, exchanges, and developers can operate without fragmentation, turning Bitcoin into a cohesive platform for decentralized finance, token issuance, and programmable assets.
Goldinals: The Gold Standard for Bitcoin Assets
Goldinals doesn’t merely address Bitcoin’s current challenges–it redefines its future. By combining trust minimization, native programmability, and ecosystem unification, Goldinals enables applications and assets that were previously unimaginable on Bitcoin. From trustless crowdsales to DeFi protocols, Goldinals is paving the way for Bitcoin to become the ultimate platform for decentralized innovation.
As Bitcoin’s ecosystem continues to expand, Goldinals is set to become the definitive standard for fungible tokens, driving adoption and innovation across the network.

BitRivals Announce Initial Alpha Offering in AlphaLauncher.io – A Whole New Generation of Web3 Gaming
BitRivals, the revolutionary Web3 gaming platform, will have an Initial Alpha Offering via AlphaLauncher.io on January 13, 2025, at 2 PM UTC. This date represents a new important milestone in BitRivals’ quest to rewrite gaming rules, allowing users to join a decentralized, player-centric ecosystem. It is here to introduce the new play-to-earn model, where actual rewards for gaming are possible and give ownership of in-game assets in ways never seen before.
The BitRivals IAO occuring on January 13, 2025, at 2 PM UTC on AlphaLauncher.io. The total raise is $200,000, and the IAO will be in the USDC. One token will be sold for $0.01. The offering will be on the Base blockchain, and participants can buy up to $999 per wallet. There will be a structured vesting schedule: 20% of the tokens at the TGE, then a 15-day cliff, then linear vesting over the next five months. More than that, BitRivals provides a 24-hour ClaimBack policy, which makes the platform very flexible and game-fair to every participant.
What’s special about BitRivals?
BitRivals is not just another Web3 gaming platform; it’s a different paradigm regarding how users interact with these digital ecosystems. BitRivals focuses on just three basic principles of change that will alter how users experience gaming:
Ownership redefined through the implementation of blockchain technology, BitRivals hands over to players complete ownership over all their in-game assets. In full tokenization of assets, one can trade, sell, or keep them in ownership at any moment. The amount of control placed in a player’s hands thus re-positions it to assume an authoritative stance above the dictations that traditional game models often bring on in-game.
BitRivals uses the FCFS model with no restrictions so that anyone can participate in the IAO. The processes are so uncomplicated and open that whether one is a fresh beginner or an old hand at Web3 has little bearing on this, so let it be all-inclusive.
A Seamless Experience for Participants
Events such as the IAO will take place on AlphaLauncher.io, one of the more trustable platforms for blockchain-based token launches. Users seeking to participate in the BitRivals IAO are invited to follow the simple steps:
- Visit AlphaLauncher.io: Head to the platform’s website to get started with the IAO registration process.
- Setting up your wallet on the base chain: Ensure your wallet is set to interact with the Base blockchain, which hosts the BitRivals ecosystem.
- Learn More About BitRivals: To learn about the game, ecosystem, and many other things, check out the website BitRivals.
- Join on January 13th, 2025, at 2 PM UTC: Be prepared to purchase BitRivals tokens when the IAO goes live.
How to Get Involved:
For more information about the IAO, interested parties can visit AlphaLauncher.io for more details and preparation for the January 13 launch.

Major Reforms to Driver CPC Announced to Enhance Flexibility for Professional Drivers
A series of pivotal changes to the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) have been introduced to provide greater flexibility and address challenges faced by professional drivers. These updates aim to simplify training requirements for lorry, bus, and coach drivers, with new options tailored for those driving exclusively within domestic borders.
The Driver CPC is a vital qualification for professional drivers, designed to uphold safety and competency standards across the transport sector. The recent changes reflect a commitment to streamlining processes while maintaining high levels of professionalism in the industry.
Key Features of the New Reforms
- Introduction of National and International CPC Options
Drivers now have the flexibility to choose between two tailored qualifications:
- National Driver CPC: Specifically designed for drivers operating only within domestic borders, this option offers streamlined training requirements.
- International Driver CPC: Retaining the structure of the traditional CPC, this qualification is ideal for drivers who work across both domestic and international routes, ensuring compliance with broader standards.
2.Flexible Training Sessions
Training sessions under the National Driver CPC have been restructured to allow shorter durations, as little as three and a half hours. This contrasts with the previous minimum of seven hours, giving drivers and their employers more flexibility in scheduling.
3.Increased Online Learning Opportunities
To modernize the training process, both qualifications now permit up to 12 hours of e-learning. This enables drivers to complete a significant portion of their training online, providing a convenient and cost-effective option without sacrificing quality.
4.New Qualification Cards
Updated Driver Qualification Cards (DQCs) are being issued to reflect the changes:
- National CPC holders will receive cards clearly marked “DOMESTIC USE ONLY.”
- International CPC holders will continue to use the existing card design.
Drivers are reminded that DQCs are required to be carried at all times when operating a vehicle professionally.
Enhancements for Returning Drivers (Effective February 2025)
Additional measures have been introduced to support drivers returning to professional roles after a lapse in their CPC:
- For CPCs Expired Between 60 Days and 2 Years:
- Drivers can requalify by completing 35 hours of training (National or International CPC).
- Alternatively, a seven-hour “return to driving” module is available, allowing immediate resumption of domestic driving. This must be followed by an additional 28 hours of training within 12 months.
- For CPCs Expired Over 2 Years:
- A full 35 hours of training (National or International CPC) is required to regain qualification.
These updates are designed to streamline the requalification process, addressing one of the industry’s longstanding challenges.
Industry Impact and Benefits
These reforms are set to benefit drivers and transport operators by reducing barriers to entry and compliance. With the transport sector facing ongoing driver shortages, the updates are expected to improve recruitment and retention while maintaining high safety standards.
An industry representative remarked:
“The introduction of the National CPC is a significant milestone for the transport sector. It provides much-needed flexibility for drivers and operators, particularly those focused on domestic operations. These changes are practical, forward-thinking, and a step in the right direction.”
The revised structure of training courses is also being welcomed by employers, who now have more options to support their workforce without compromising operations.
A Path Forward for Professional Drivers
The Driver CPC reforms reflect a clear focus on adapting to the needs of the modern transport industry. By providing flexible options and modernizing training delivery, the changes aim to support drivers and operators in meeting today’s demands.
Drivers and employers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new rules and select the qualification that aligns with their operational requirements. For further guidance, professional training providers and industry organizations are ready to assist with compliance and implementation.
