BOSTON Cape Cod Healthcare will take your donation in U.S. dollars and now, in cryptocurrency.
Twice this year, an anonymous donor has given the company $400,000 worth of bitcoin, a virtual form of payment managed by a computer network called a blockchain. The donation had little precedent in the world of health care, said Chris Lawson, Cape Cod Healthcare’s senior vice president and chief development officer. As cryptocurrency use becomes more popular, he said, the organization soon could be a first of many.
“I think what’s going to occur without having a crystal ball is that more and more charities are going to recognize that this is a real opportunity in terms of building philanthropic support,” he said.
Why is Jerry Ortega making an appearance?

This episode seems to have two characters that we re sure to focus on. One of course is Jorge Garcia as Jerry and the other is Terminator s Robert Patrick as Ian Cain. The other guest stars include Carey Van Driest as Dr Novak, Sunny Mabrey as a recruiter, Daniel O Callaghan as an older man/Dr. Viskoff and Jordan Trovillion as a nurse. Episode 7 also saw Frankie back played by Aly Michalka! It seems as though these guest stars bring a lot of substance to the episodes and the streak continues on to episode 8! It seems that Jerry is set to help Taylor and Bozer work through another Codex mess!

QUINCY City councilors are enthusiastic about a plan to bring citywide internet to Quincy, which proponents say would improve reliability of service, introduce competition to the market and ultimately drive down prices.
Ward 3 Councilor Ian Cain first floated the idea to councilors in mid-2018, and brought consulting company EntryPoint Networks to present a proposal to city council last November. On Monday, councilors heard once again from the company s CEO, Jeff Christiansen, who said an overwhelming number of residents surveyed are on board with a city-run internet service in Quincy.
Christiansen said about 10,000 residents responded to an EntryPoint survey about their internet use, how much they pay and if they d support a citywide network. He said about 80 percent of respondent said they d participate in municipal broadband, and that Quincy residents are, on average, paying about $93 per month for internet roughly $20 more than the nationwide average.
