May 2023 saw hardware wallet manufacturer, Ledger, unveiling its novel service, Ledger Recover, a platform designed for secure seed phrase storage—a necessary component for cryptocurrency recovery. Despite Ledger's assurances of fragmenting and encrypting seed phrases across multiple entities, critics within the crypto community voice concerns over potential security risks, including data theft and privacy breaches linked to the requisite provision of email addresses and phone numbers. Amidst debates on self-custody versus third-party storage and the ever-evolving digital security landscape, Ledger emphasizes its service's optional nature, allowing users to continue managing their recovery phrase independently. This narrative underlines the importance of understanding and navigating digital security in our data-intensive world, where private key loss and third-party key theft are distinct possibilities.

All-Cause Mortality
The US faces a serious health disadvantage as life expectancy drops for the second consecutive year and maternal mortality rates reach an all-time high. While the US has higher survival rates for cancer, better control of blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and lower stroke mortality, these achievements aren't enough to offset other problems. Higher child poverty, gun violence, racial segregation, social isolation, and poor city design are some of the factors contributing to this health disparity. The US's shorter life expectancy is estimated to cost the country $100 billion annually in extra healthcare costs. The reasons for the decline in life expectancy can't be ascribed only to the COVID-19 outbreak, as the US faces significant challenges that need to be addressed by policymakers.

News Corner
This news corner is about decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and their legal status. Currently, DAOs have no legal status in most jurisdictions, but some lawyers are optimistic about the concept as a movement for the modernization of the corporate world. The Howey Test is not used by the Cayman and British Virgin Islands legal system, which is seen as a favorable jurisdiction for DAOs to operate. However, if a DAO is not wrapped into a corporate shell, it could be viewed as a general partnership and individuals involved could be held liable for the actions of the DAO. Despite the challenges, many lawyers are optimistic about the future of DAOs as a new way of organizing businesses.
