The Century to Host Modesto’s First-Ever Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre
MODESTO, Calif., March 29, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The Century will host the premiere of "Death On The Cutting Room Floor", Modesto's first-ever murder mystery dinner event. Featuring the Mayhem Mystery Players, the production will be hosted for three nights in April and includes a three-course dinner.
Set in the glamorous 1950s, guests will be transported onto a set with Roxanne, everyone's favorite movie star, whose newest relationship scandal is causing drama both on and off the big screen. To add to the fun, attendees are encouraged (but not required) to dress in their favorite 1950s-inspired red-carpet fashions as they attempt to solve the murder before dessert.
The dinner will include The Century's house salad, a choice of entrée (chicken with pistachio pesto or vegetarian), and a delicious vegetarian fruit cobbler for dessert. Both entrée options are gluten-free and can be chosen at the ticket check-out.
Guests have the opportunity to attend one of three showings: Thursday the 13th at 7 p.m., Friday the 14th at 7 p.m., or Sunday the 16th at 5:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite or under the events tab on The Century's Facebook page.

Massachusetts Senate President, Speaker of the House, Leaders of Legislature, Medicine, and Advocacy Lead the Nation in the Fight Against Prostate Cancer
BOSTON, March 29, 2023 (Newswire.com) - AdMeTech Foundation, jointly with Senate President Pro Tempore William Brownsberger and Representative Gerry Cassidy, is hosting the 14th Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day. Faina Shtern, MD, President, AdMeTech Foundation, serves as emcee.
This event has brought together Senate President Karen Spilka, Speaker of the House Ronald Mariano, Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Creem, Senate Majority Whip Mike Rush, Representative Bud Williams who is Chair of the Joint Committee on Racial Equity, Civil Rights and Inclusion and Chair of the Black and Latino Caucus, and Representative Carlos Gonzalez who is Past Chair of the Black and Latino Caucus, leaders of medicine, advocacy and community organizations.
14th Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day will honor the memory of two prostate cancer survivors — Representative Stephen Kulik and Mr. Naakh Vysoky. Representative Kulik served as a host of this event and was a key state's champion in the fight against prostate cancer between 2009 and his retirement in 2019. Mr. Vysoky was a lifelong warrior for the underprivileged — immigrants, the elderly, the ethnic and racial minorities; his work was recognized by the U.S. Congress and multiple Boston organizations.
Prostate cancer, striking 1 in 8 men, is the most common male malignancy and the second most common cause of cancer deaths in men. Prostate cancer is a leading health disparity, causing more than two times higher mortality in Black men compared to White men. Elected officials will address prostate cancer as a major public health issue for all men and a crisis in men with Black, Hispanic and Latino heritage, who are at higher risk of delayed diagnosis, poor quality of clinical care and death.
Advocates and prostate cancer survivors will discuss the impact of prostate cancer on men, their families and communities.
Leaders of medicine will review cutting-edge advances in clinical care and research, transforming screening, diagnosis and treatment, improving survival and reducing health disparities. Prostate cancer experts from AdMeTech Foundation, Mass General Brigham and UMass Memorial Health will invite Massachusetts men, aged 40 and older, to take part in the Prostate Cancer Equity Program. This groundbreaking program has been launched recently to expedite access to the latest advances in patient care and support men every step of their medical journey. Supporting organizations include NAACP New England Area Conference and Latino Health Insurance Program, mobilizing participation of the Black, Hispanic and Latino men.
Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day has been critical for setting up a historic precedent by the Massachusetts General Court in recognizing prostate cancer as a public health priority and a leading health disparity since 2011. This event and Prostate Cancer Equity Program are integral components of the broader statewide prostate cancer program, which established a Massachusetts model of national leadership in public awareness, medical education, research and reducing health disparities since 2013.
AdMeTech Foundation organized this event in cooperation with the Prostate Cancer Action Council, including American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Center for Elimination of Health and Social Inequities and Disparities, Community Health Awareness Network, the Latino Health Insurance Program, Massachusetts Prostate Cancer Coalition, Men of Color Health Awareness, NAACP New England Area Conference, and Independent "Blue Ribbon" Expert Panel, consisting of the experts in clinical care and research.

Legacy Suite Recommends Wallet Protection Against ‘Address Poisoning’ Hack
NEW YORK, March 29, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Legacy Suite, developer of digital asset management solutions, warns crypto and Ledger users against "Address Poisoning" attacks that can steal their funds.
Scammers are striking crypto users, including Ledger users, by "poisoning" their account via sending a small amount of crypto, usually USDT, MATIC, TRX, or even NFT, often imitating a transaction recorded in the user's transaction history. It looks very similar to the user's own address, with the goal to grab the scammer's address and send funds to their account by mistake.
Check Every Single Character in a Wallet Address
"Address poisoning is a type of cyber-attack in which an attacker attempts to steal funds from a cryptocurrency wallet by modifying the wallet's address," said Azaz Ahmed, chief technology officer of Legacy Suite. "In this attack, the attacker replaces the legitimate address of the wallet with their own address, which allows them to redirect any funds sent to the wallet to their own account."
The scammer makes a custom address with specific characters that are nearly identical to the owner's address. It often includes the same first and last characters. It is important to check every single character in one's wallet address before sending any transaction.
The scammer then sends a very small amount of currency, even $0, via the almost matching dummy wallet, which poisons one's transaction history.
How to Protect Yourself
Legacy Suite offers the following suggestions for safeguarding against address poisoning:
· Stop copying and pasting your wallet address from your transaction history
· Manually check your address so it is an exact match before sending any funds
· Use your wallet's contact book to manage addresses used often
· Be aware of anyone sending tiny amounts of cryptocurrency
· Double-check your transaction details on your Ledger
Legacy Suite has a wallet monitoring service designed to keep crypto assets secure 24/7 so that one can quickly take action to prevent any potential losses. "Legacy Suite's wallet protection services, such as wallet monitoring and emergency backup wallet, help to protect against critical threats by providing additional layers of security to your cryptocurrency wallets," Ahmed said.
Wallet monitoring constantly monitors activities associated with one's wallet in case any unauthorized changes occur in real time. The owner is immediately notified if any unusual activity is detected like the addition or modification of a new or existing address allowing for prompt action and the prevention of any unauthorized access to one's funds.
"Legacy Suite's Lifeline, emergency backup wallet, is a service that provides you with a secure backup of your cryptocurrency wallet," Ahmed said. "In the event that your wallet is compromised, you can quickly transfer your funds to another wallet. This protects your funds from being lost or stolen in the event of an attack."
The wallet protection services are an additional layer of security to cryptocurrency wallets and protect them from fraud and other types of cyber-attacks.
