MasterCard Joins Visa, PayPal On The Crypto Payments Bandwagon
Less than two weeks after Visa CEO Al Kelly said the payments giant is in a position to make cryptocurrencies more “safe, useful and applicable” and may add them to the company’s payments network; MasterCard has tonight laid out in great detail why it also plans to start supporting select cryptocurrencies directly on its network. In a detailed and lengthy statement, Raj Dhamodharan, MasterCard's EVP of Digital Asset & Blockchain Partnerships, adds color to CEO Michael Miebach's Q4 pledge to integrate digital currency payments "directly on our network." The company has not yet disclosed which digital currencies it intends to support, or where. As CoinDesk notes, previously, Mastercard supported limited cryptocurrency transactions through its cryptocard partners Wirex and Uphold. But those programs only cover payment, not settlement; the coins are converted to fiat currency well before reaching the merchant.

Roku was founded by Anthony Wood in 2002, who had previously founded ReplayTV, a DVR company that competed with Tivo. After ReplayTV's failure, Wood worked for a while at Netflix. In 2007, Wood's company began working with Netflix on Project:Griftin, a set-top box to allow Netflix users to stream Netflix content to their TVs. Only a few weeks before the project's launch, Netflix's founder Reed Hastings decided it would hamper license arrangements with third parties, potentially keeping Netflix off other similar platforms, and killed the project.[3] Fast Company magazine cited the decision to kill the project as "one of Netflix's riskiest moves". Netflix decided instead to spin off the company, and Roku released their first set-top box in 2008. In 2010 they began offering models with various capabilities, which eventually became their standard business model. In 2014, Roku partnered with smart TV manufacturers to produce RokuTVs with built-in Roku functionality.

TITAN01 USAF E-4B Nightwatch out of Offutt AFB after it's earlier trip to upper Michigan today
Some runway work at it's home base (for now)
This Airfield is slated to close in March and operations transferred to Lincoln while the runway is rebuilt
from Feb 3rd
Transition to Lincoln starts with first aircraft arrival
Normally a 55th Wing OC-135 Open Skies aircraft landing and taxiing to its parking spot is no a big deal, but this particular landing on Feb. 1, 2021, was unlike any other. This flight was Offutt Air Force Base’s first aircraft arrival to the Lincoln Airport, where the 55th Wing and its mission partners will operate all flying operations from for the next 18 months as contractors replace the base’s runway.
