Since the inception of cryptocurrencies, crypto traders have relied on hardware wallets as their preferred method of offline asset storage. While most traditional hardware wallets are safe and secure, they are not impervious to hacks, leaks, and breaches. For that higher level of protection, traders are turning to devices with biometric authentication, such as the D’Cent Biometric Hardware Wallet.

The device’s security features are robust and comprehensive. It uses an integrated fingerprint scanner and a PIN entry system for authentication. These checks must be passed to access funds and complete transactions. As an added security measure, the device also comes with a stainless steel seed phrase recovery plate for private key engraving.

In addition to being highly secure, the D’Cent Biometric Hardware Wallet is designed to be lightweight and ergonomic. The device weighs just 36 grams and can fit in most pockets. It also has a 128 x 128-pixel screen with directional buttons for easy navigation.

To manage assets, traders download the D’Cent app to their tablet or smartphone, and pair it with their D’Cent Biometric Hardware Wallet using the integrated Bluetooth connectivity. The wallet currently supports Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, SRP, RSK Smart Bitcoin, and ERC-20 tokens, with more being added constantly.

“The D’Cent Biometric Hardware Wallet is exactly what I was looking for,” said a satisfied customer. “It safely secures my tokens and allows me to control them through the app on my phone. But it won’t let me do that until my fingerprint is scanned, which is really reassuring. It’s got all the bases covered.”

Tunnel Now, a trenching and excavation company based in Houston, now offers an updated range of services, assisting contractors and individuals with repairs underneath a building’s foundation. The company offers tunneling services for under-slab plumbing, foundation, electrical, and cable issues.

For more information, go to https://www.tunnelnow.com/under-slab-plumbing-repair-cost

Under-slab plumbing is installed underneath the concrete foundation of a building when it is being constructed. It includes any plumbing-related lines, such as drainage systems that transport wastewater and sewage to the main sewer system and water pipes that supply water to the property. Because these pipelines are located underneath the structure, they are difficult to access when plumbing problems arise. With the update, Tunnel Now continues to provide clients with cost-effective solutions for managing these repairs.

Tunnel Now works with plumbing companies, foundation repair contractors, electricians, and individuals who require assistance with under-slab tunneling, trenching, excavation, and pier drilling. When handling a plumbing issue, for instance, once the plumber identifies the problem, the excavation team digs a trench, tunnel, or access hole to reach the damaged pipes.

To complete the job, they either use a mini excavator for heavy lifting or dig by hand for difficult access locations. Finally, when the repair is done, they put the soil back into the area and tamp it down to fill any void created.

Tunnel Now provides each client with a cost estimate before under-slab plumbing repairs through a series of questions that determine the scope of the work required, such as how far beneath the structure they will need to excavate.

The company also offers house leveling and foundation repair services. With over 12 years of experience in the field, they handle all types of foundations, from pier and beam to block-based ones, to solve the underlying problems.

A satisfied client said: “They did an awesome job tunneling and leveling our home. The crew was clean, nice, and very knowledgeable. If you are in need of leveling your home or fixing your underground plumbing, then I suggest calling this company because they are great and honest.”

Regarded by The Crypto Merchant as the “world’s first hardware wallet with biometric security measures,” the new D’Cent Biometric Hardware Wallet uses a built-in fingerprint sensor to recognize authorized users. The wallet also has Bluetooth capabilities, allowing for more streamlined asset management.

More details can be found at https://www.thecryptomerchant.com/products/dcent-biometric-hardware-wallet?_pos=1&_sid=c37c1666b&_ss=r

Since the first hardware wallet was released over six years ago, cryptocurrency security products have improved considerably. Companies have invested significant resources into the research and development of storage solutions, resulting in innovative devices such as the D’Cent Biometric Hardware Wallet recently added by The Crypto Merchant now dominating the market.

The D’Cent Biometric Hardware Wallet is unique in that it employs multiple security measures to protect assets. Its FingCapacitive Touch Sensor fingerprint scanner is its primary method of authentication. However, the device also utilizes PIN authentication and seed phrase recovery, even including an engravable recovery plate in its packaging.

The wallet is also very simple to use. It features a clear 1.1-inch OLED display screen that is navigated using four directional buttons. Because of its Bluetooth capabilities, the device can also be easily paired with tablets and smartphones to send, receive, and manage cryptocurrencies. Setting up the device only takes a few minutes, also.

At present, the D’Cent Biometric Hardware Wallet is only compatible with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, SRP, RSK Smart Bitcoin, and ERC-20 tokens. However, more currencies are being added regularly. Customers can also manage NFTs through the device’s DAPP browser function.

“I’ve only been using this device for a couple of days and I have to say it’s one of the more efficient hardware wallets I’ve had,” said a satisfied customer. “Set up was easy and connecting to Bluetooth is painless. The biometric fingerprint scanner is awesome and the 4-button design really helps when adding mnemonic seeds. I highly recommend this product.”

The D’Cent Biometric Hardware Wallet is available for purchase on The Crypto Merchant website.

According to The Crypto Merchant, Fortknoxster’s DieFi platform allows users to store all of their crypto credentials in one safe and secure place. Moreover, in the event of an emergency, memory loss, or death, these credentials can be released to assigned beneficiaries, to prevent them from being lost.

More details can be found at https://fortknoxster.com/aff/r/Thecryptomerchant/?campaign=Amplify

Fortknoxster created DieFi to safeguard Web3 and other future decentralized services. DieFi users can store crypto, digital assets, NFTs, ledgers, files, and other crypto information on the platform, and it is all secured using the latest end-to-end encryption and security measures.

After registering their assets, users choose beneficiaries who would gain access to the assets in the event of an emergency, memory loss, or death. Users are also required to set up a Dead Man’s Switch timer, which automatically grants access to the beneficiaries after a designated period of inactivity. The assets, beneficiaries, and timer can all be edited at any time.

A third-party security company specializing in ID verification technology performs DieFi’s access verification online. The process involves strict real-time ID and facial-recognition scans of the beneficiary, security question responses, and 100s of other checks using sophisticated AI- and ML-assisted techniques.

DieFi is non-custodial, chain agnostic, and future-proofed to accommodate coming chains. It was built by cybersecurity experts and audited by third-party security researchers and specialists. The platform is based on zero-knowledge principles, so nobody at Fortknoxster has access to the information stored on the platform.

“By eliminating the human element, we make it easy and secure to store and update all your credentials in one secure platform,” said a spokesperson for the company. “You can store passwords, wallet seed phrases, recovery information, trading passwords, 2FA info, and much more.”

About The Crypto Merchant

Founded in 2017 by New York City-based early crypto adopters, coders, miners, and investors, The Crypto Merchant has since become an industry leader in crypto security products. They are an authorized retailer of Trezor, Ledger, Shift Crypto, Billfodl, Cryptotag, and KeepKey wallets and recovery tools.

The recently released hardware wallet is hack-proof, protecting the user’s assets from any form of cyberattack. This makes it ideal for retail investors seeking a safer haven from online wallets and exchanges.

For more information, visit https://www.thecryptomerchant.com/collections/hardware-wallets

According to blockchain data firm Chainanalysis, 2022 was the “biggest year ever” for cryptocurrency hacking incidences. It estimated that $3.8 billion was stolen from businesses in that year, $500 million higher than in 2021.

“Securing the entire chain is a task beyond any retail investor,” a spokesperson from The Crypto Merchant said. “But you can take steps to safeguard your own assets. By storing your crypto in a hardware wallet, you’re effectively putting it beyond the reach of bad actors.”

These storage vaults are virtually hack-proof, and unlike online wallets, they do not become outdated, so investors do not need to buy the newer models after a year or so of use. The information within the hardware wallet cannot be leaked or breached because it is not connected to the internet.

The Trezor Model T is one of the company’s most advanced hardware wallets. While being solidly built, the wallet also contains a number of security features that make it impervious to hacking.

For one, it uses a touchscreen for verification. The Crypto Merchant explained that this is preferable to entering one’s recovery seed or passphrase in a computer, which is vulnerable to malware carrying key loggers. As an added security feature, the device uses a randomized keypad, which makes key logging difficult if not impossible.

If the device gets lost, users can still recover the contents of their wallets through Trezor T’s Shamir backup feature. Shamir is a new security standard that allows users to create multiple recovery shares (a portion of a cryptographic secret) and configure the number of shares needed to create a recovery seed.

About the Company

The Crypto Merchant is one of the largest retailers of hardware wallets in the US. What separates it from other retailers is that its inventory is carefully curated and that it only supplies authentic products sourced directly from suppliers.

“With crypto, you can’t be too careful. Buying from just any store is not a good idea because your product could arrive tampered, which will only create more problems,” the company representative said. “With The Crypto Merchant, you won’t have to deal with that experience.”

The newly announced learning textbooks guide high schoolers through the company’s emotional intelligence curriculum which increases their cognitive competencies and ability to overcome adversity. “My Best Me” is an evidence-based program that uses hope-centered science to teach high school students how to effectively set goals and build the pathways and willpower needed to achieve those goals.

Interested parties can learn more at https://hoperisingedu.com/product/grade-9-classroom-pack/

With this announcement, Hope Rising offers grade-appropriate classroom packs that contain student workbooks and a teacher guide so students and educators can develop their hope-based skills alongside one another. These classroom packs also contain access to online teacher training and support, family engagement activity pages, editable student worksheets, and a one-year subscription for digital copies of the student workbooks and teacher guide.

In recent studies, seven out of ten American teenagers reported that anxiety and depression were major problems for people their age in their communities. An additional 26% of teens reported these issues as minor problems. With widespread depression and anxiety, high school classrooms are experiencing high rates of absenteeism, class disruptions due to self-destructive behavior, and declining academic performance.

“My Best Me” teaches high school students how to establish long-term habits for improving and maintaining their own mental, emotional, and physical health. This EI curriculum also encourages hope in students by teaching them how to set positive goals and achieve them through personal accountability, willpower, and actionable pathways.

To date, schools using “My Best Me” have reported a 68% decrease in suspension and expulsions, 81% fewer dropouts, a 44% lower occurrence of chronic absenteeism, and higher graduation rates.

About Hope Rising

Hope Rising is an emotional intelligence curriculum developer that has designed the world’s first hope-centered EI curriculum for K-12 students. The company strives to offer educators a fully-structured program for helping students develop necessary psycho-social skills that can be easily incorporated into the primary academic curriculum. Hope Rising created “My Best Me” in grade-appropriate versions for kindergarteners up through high school seniors.

“In increasing numbers, educators in classrooms nationwide are seeing more and more children exposed to adversity, stress, and trauma,” said one spokesperson for the company. “The impact of this trauma on the learning environment is felt throughout the hallways of schools as students struggle with academic performance, disruptive behaviors, and emotional insecurity.”

At a time when student mental health is in the spotlight, the National School Chaplain Association is announcing an online, accredited program for individuals interested in serving elementary school students struggling with suicidal ideation.

Interested parties can visit https://nationalschoolchaplainassociation.org to learn more.

Following the announcement, the association is partnering with Oklahoma Christian University to offer the online program, which trains chaplains to act as a bridge between secular and spiritual life in the community. Chaplains also provide counsel and advocacy, teach life improvement skills, and work to improve the overall mental health of students in their school environment.

While schools traditionally focus on suicide prevention in upper grades, studies show that elementary-age students aren’t immune. Student risk for suicide does increase with age – it’s the second leading cause of death for children ages 10 through 14, according to a recent report from Education Week. But it’s also the 10th leading cause of death for kids aged 5 through 9. Having depression or an attention deficit disorder increases a primary school student’s risk for suicide, however, less than a third of childhood suicide victims have been previously diagnosed with a mental illness.

Instead, most suicides in younger children are spurred by situations like school disruptions, divorce, substance abuse, or depression in a parent, according to the report. Chaplains can provide a listening ear and emotional support in many of these situations. And they do so regardless of students’ race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Through its partnership with NSCA, Oklahoma Christian University offers three paths to becoming a school chaplain. While no previous experience is necessary, the requirements vary based on applicants’ earlier education or ministry background.

Despite the current cultural environment, chaplains should be critical team members on any school staff, NSCA representatives say. Religion is declining in the United States, but the need for spiritual care is on the rise, according to the association. Chaplains are present everywhere from the New York City Metropolitan Transit System to labor unions and even the government. Even in many secular and public institutions, chaplains help individuals navigate the intersection of mental and spiritual health.

“There is more to personhood than biology. Humans are spiritual beings who need spiritual care,” a representative from the association said. “Chaplains provide the spiritual counsel students seek.”

The company aims to use this updated curriculum to provide educators with a structured format for teaching middle schoolers how to use hopeful, positive thinking to improve their academic performance. Among other things, the curriculum, called “My Best Me”, teaches students how to understand and effectively manage their stress and emotions to optimize their classroom interactions, relationships, and learning capacity.

Interested parties can learn more at https://hoperisingedu.com/sample-text/

The new comprehensive emotional intelligence curriculum can be incorporated into the school’s primary programming in one-hour blocks each week, or as the directors see fit. The middle school version of the “My Best Me” curriculum comes with an age and grade-appropriate student text, as well as a corresponding teacher guide.

The rates of depression, anxiety, and self-destructive behaviors see a remarkable increase during the peak pubescent years, according to recent neurological studies. This increase is linked to the flood of developmental hormones the body undergoes during this time. Because of this intense formative transition the mind and body endure during puberty, building a solid foundation of personal identity, confidence, and empathy is particularly important for middle schoolers.

While the lessons in “My Best Me” can be reorganized to fit a teacher’s primary curriculum, the middle school student text begins by encouraging students to consider their identity, personality, and character qualities. This section teaches students to appreciate their unique minds and bodies and to set goals that speak to their individual strengths.

In addition to the section on identity, “My Best Me” teaches students how to maintain their emotional, physical, and mental health, the importance of community, their relationship with the natural environment, and finally, economics and financial literacy. The curriculum centers hope in all of these sections, encouraging students to use positive thinking and hope-based behaviors to understand themselves, connect with others, and achieve the future they desire.

About Hope Rising

With its award-winning emotional intelligence curriculum, “My Best Me”, Hope Rising strives to bring the power and science of hope into K-12 classrooms around the world. The company’s team collectively has decades-worth of professional experience in the education and non-profit sectors and uses this to provide hope-centric support for students, faculty members, and education directors alike.

“Infusing skills to learn to hope in our Emotional Intelligence curriculum encourages students to work toward a better tomorrow,” said one spokesperson for the company. “When educators teach Emotional Intelligence along with strategies to nurture hope, the impact is felt beyond the classroom. Higher hope equates to academic improvement, emotional livelihood, and thriving teachers.”

By expanding its curriculum, the company intends to provide K-12 educators with an emotional intelligence curriculum that can deepen their trauma-informed perspective while teaching students resilient behaviors. Along with the interactive student materials for “My Best Me”, educators receive a teacher guide, online teacher training, and access to a private Facebook group where teachers can collaborate, ask questions, and share ideas.

Interested parties can learn more at https://hoperisingedu.com/product/school-license/

With this expansion, Hope Rising offers educators a fully-formed and flexible emotional intelligence curriculum. Lessons in “My Best Me”, which are designed to be taught in 45-minute blocks, are non-sequential, so educators can pair them with corresponding sections of their primary curriculum or even match them with current events.

66% of adults in the United States have endured at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE) in their lifetime. As such, educators can expect that two-thirds of their students will have experienced at least one traumatic event, or ACE, by the age of 16. These experiences can lead students to have learning impairments, difficulty regulating their emotions in class, or an overwhelming sense of being unsafe or unable to trust their teachers and classmates.

“My Best Me” focuses on building trust, empathy, respect, and openness in the classroom. Educators can use the detailed lessons to establish an open dialogue with students about personal development issues that would be inappropriate for other class times. The curriculum teaches students about their identity and role in relationships, the importance of mental, emotional, and physical health, and the power of setting and achieving goals and practicing positive thinking.

Hope Rising’s “My Best Me” curriculum was certified by the Hope Research Center at the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa. This certification means that “My Best Me” teaches hope as a psychological mindset that drives resilient behaviors in students and educators. Hope Rising strives to use the evolving research on the science of hope to continually improve and deepen its emotional intelligence curriculum.

“Hope delivered through Emotional Intelligence (EI) enhances students’ cognitive competence giving them integrated skills needed to deal effectively and ethically with daily tasks and challenges,” said one spokesperson for the company. “My Best Me is an evidence-based EI curriculum that can increase the social and emotional skills that will help nurture and support hope in classrooms.”
