SINGAPORE, Feb 28, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Xplr Me (Explore Me) is a digital platform that connects students to tutors, life coaches and mentors from anywhere in the world, while they are sitting in the comfort of their living room. Picking up a new hobby, learning a new skill, or just plain understanding themselves better with the assortment of classes and courses on offer.
Xplr Me goes beyond academics, and is for all age groups and life stages, putting students in touch with educators and coaches from all around the world, who will guide them to success. With life coaches teaching students how to set goals and meet them, to career coaches who will help nail the perfect resume, Xplr Me is not an average enrichment site. Be constantly enriched with continuous guidance and mentorship that will set students up for success.

THE BIRTH OF XPLR ME

Founded by Nirali Mehta in 2021, Xplr Me was born from the frustration of having to find teachers and mentors for herself and her two kids. Traditional classes and teachers were bound by distance and location, and by logistics, especially with the limitations brought by the global pandemic. There was always that feeling of compromise between the best teacher and mentor, and what was on offer and convenient.

Xplr Me completely eradicated this pain point by bringing educational providers and professionals together on to one platform from across the globe. Now, with Xplr Me, anyone on the hunt for classes, mentorship or guidance can visit the website, find a course that best fits their needs, at a time slot that is convenient to them. Imagine, learning a whole new language from a native speaker to the basics of photography with a professional photographer.

Nirali says, "Learning has always been a passion of mine and it has always been a source of frustration when I was unable to sign up for the classes I wanted. When I became a mom to two kids, I began to juggle their schedules with mine, to search for classes that balanced their learning, between academics and life skills. This experience really opened my eyes, to how it's really difficult to find the right person to teach you what you need to learn at that time. That was the starting point for Xplr Me. After all, learning should be part of our life's journey, but struggling to learn need not be."

EXPLORE WITH EASE

Xplr Me features a wide variety of classes from academics to alternative healing, mentorship, counseling, photography, and anything else under the sun. Enthusiasts could pick from an Ayurveda course one day to a Crochet class the next.

With the classes happening completely online, students and teachers don't even have to be in the same country. This gives students the opportunity to learn from people all around the world, and not have to settle with what is closest to them.

On the tech front, Xplr Me uses virtual tools integrated within the platform, and a custom-built calendar and appointment function to empower students to pick and choose timings, class options and tutors. Students can also pick from pre-recorded sessions to live private one-on-one classes, and group classes.

Nirali adds, "The emphasis on non-academic topics was a very mindful one. Life and social skills are just as important, and I wanted to offer that to enhance learning. Furthermore, for adults, especially, it is so difficult to pick up a new hobby with either the stressors of time, work or family coming into play. Xplr Me removes all that so adults can explore and get excited about learning new things, or picking up old hobbies again. Because Xplr Me is so flexible, there really is a whole world to explore and it all starts on Xplr Me!"

Nirali's goal for Xplr Me is to be a platform that will empower not only students but everyone to be able to come home and learn a new hobby, a new experience, or a new learning opportunity without feeling constrained by geographical location.

About Xplr Me

Founded by Nirali X in Nov 2021, Xplr Me (Explore Me) is an unconventional online learning platform that brings a diverse range of academic and non-academic courses to anyone in the comfort of their own homes. Xplr Me goes beyond academics and is for all age groups and life stages, putting students in touch with educators and coaches from all around the world.

London, UK, Feb 28, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Gemie is delighted to announce the completion of the latest $3.8 million fundraising round led by Shima Capital, Infinity Ventures Crypto, and NGC Ventures. The funding will accelerate the development of the Gemie Marketplace and the entertainment-themed metaverse. Newman Capital, Soul Capital, Kenetic, Sparks Digital Capital, ICO Pantera, SL2, Oddiyana Ventures, Beyond NEXT, QUDAX LLC, and AVStar Capital also participated in the round.

The sale will occur on the Pinksale launchpad after a whitelist sale on February 19. The token has also taken security measures, having been audited by Solidproof.

While the game has a strong focus on player-versus-player PvP, there also will be a "campaign" featuring player-versus-environment PvE. The rewards to be obtained will increase as the game advances, and the village develops. Note that to play, you must have at least one Hero, the protagonist NFTs of the game.

The Last War NFTs

The Last War is an NFT project based on the Clash of clans in the third person. Hence, it has different types of NFTs with different functionalities. 

Heroes are the game's most important and necessary component. More than one Hero is required to proceed in the game, and three Heroes are required to enhance the Town Hall to the highest level. Then, the number of Heroes must be increased for the game to evolve.

The items,  other types of NFTs within the game, are small digital assets that provide various community perks and an aesthetic role. The benefits are cumulative up to a certain point.

The skins are NFT items as well. However, they are mainly decorative alterations, except select special skins that provide perks to the village.

The final NFT batch is the bonus, and various NFTs give out bonuses. Bonuses of the same sort can be stacked up to a certain limit (this limit will be set to prevent players from abusing them). The game will decide the limit in the future based on the specific incentive.

$TLW Token

$TLW is a BEP-20 Binance Smart Chain token. With a maximum supply of 21M, it is the major currency of The Last War. It will be required for players and investors to interact in the Last War metaverse.

The Last War ($TLW) can be used in both the market and the game. One can stake it for passive revenue, purchase resources and NFTs in the market, buy builders, expedite improvements on buildings and Heroes, and buy resources and NFTs.

To play the game, you must first acquire a Hero from the market; therefore, purchasing the token is required to participate in the project.

The Last War Marketplace

Following the completion of the first pre-sale, the NFTs purchased will be put into the wallets of purchasers and users who have made donations. The Marketplace will be open for business and available for interested parties to utilize.

Gamers can purchase packs, Heroes, skins, resources, and items there. The resources will be the major source of revenue in the game, and players may sell them to their fellow gamers on the Marketplace in return for in-game cash. To enhance the village and earn resources through gameplay, Players may purchase them directly from the Marketplace, where a 5% fee is charged in-game currency.

Roadmap Details: What is Coming?

For the first quarter of 2022, The Last War will see through the public sale and token launch on Pancakeswap, happening this month. There will also be the NFTs sale, release of the game's alpha PvE and campaign mode, and lastly, staking.

According to their roadmap, the second quarter will launch the PvP beta and the mobile version of the game. There will also be the implementation of the basic functions of the guilds.

The game will grace the third quarter with the guild's final features, war of guilds and more features. The rest of the roadmap is yet to be released, and Last War will share updates accordingly.

About Last War

The Last War is a strategy and village-building game hosted on the Binance Smart Chain. The game's goal is to build an accessible and enjoyable game that will provide you with a sustained extra income. The game will mostly center on player-versus-player PvP, but it will also have a "campaign" in player-versus-environment PvE mode.

Becoming a crypto trader might be intimidating for newbies. Copy trading simply implies mimicking the methods of renowned traders or influencers, which includes directly copying another trader's positions. In this approach, investors pick how much money they want to invest and then mimic the positions taken by the trader they are following. As a result, the investor receives the same returns as the traders. So you may possibly generate money off of the abilities of others.

One significant advantage of copy trading is that even novices who find becoming a crypto trader challenging could invest like an expert. Furthermore, individuals can invest in cryptocurrencies that they have never heard of or know very little about.

What makes Coinboard better than others

Bristol, UK , Feb 9, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Hector Finance has launched its much-awaited stablecoin named TOR that will play a key role in the overall Hector ecosystem. TOR stands for Tyche Owned Reserve. According to Wikipedia, Tyche was the governing tutelary deity who oversaw a city's wealth and prosperity, as well as its fate. She is the daughter of Aphrodite and Zeus or Hermes in Greek mythology, and her role at the time was to deliver messages to humans about external occurrences beyond their control. Tyche is the Greek goddess of luck, chance, providence, and fate.

Terra, one of the most successful algorithmic stablecoins in the space, is the inspiration behind TOR. TOR has the goal of making $HEC more deflationary while also providing the Fantom chain with its own algorithmic stablecoin.

TOR is a new ERC20 coin that can only be created by burning HEC. The HEC pricing oracle, built with Time Weighted Average Price, can be used to swap TOR for newly minted HEC. Oracles are an important part of any stablecoin's base functionality. In the context of blockchain technology, an oracle is a mechanism designed to supply data to smart contracts. In general, a Stablecoin is only valued and trusted if its price remains constant. The price of TOR is $1. What kind of 'backing' does it have? TOR's backing is made up of two layers:

• Smart-contract algorithms and the HEC/stable LP
• The $100,000,000 Hector Finance Treasury

Hector Finance will enable yield farming for the TOR/Stablecoin Curve pools. These pools will help with HEC trading, which we'll go through in further detail in a subsequent article. The gains from Hector Finance Treasury Investments and HEC's emission plan will generate the yield. We aim to provide an APY of at least 20%, making TOR yield farms competitive in the market and providing the most consistent yield farming on the FTM chain.

How does TOR work?

The Hector utility coin (HEC) is the TOR Stablecoin's counterpart. Hector's price rises when demand for TOR rises, according to supply modulation. The primary mechanism for keeping pegs in place is expansion and contraction. TOR's stability is ensured via a simple swap mechanism: at any time, 1 TOR can be switched for 1 dollar's worth of HEC. If the value of TOR falls below $1.00, buyers can purchase it and use the method to redeem it for $1.00, allowing them to profit. Demand for TOR rises when buyers do so, causing the price to rise again until it reaches $1 USD. These financial incentives function quickly to keep TOR stable.

Since Hector Finance owns the majority of HEC/DAI, HEC/USDC, and HEC/frax, sufficient liquidity is ensured when a TOR redeem operation occurs. Despite the existence of a curve pool as "Layer 0" for shifting TOR back and forth, it is still needed to mint/redeem on a much less frequent basis. The price of HEC will (slightly) increase or drop as a result of the mint/redeem at Layer 1. Although the price of HEC has no impact on the minting/redeeming of TOR in Layer 1, if the price of HEC drops more than expected/wanted, the Hector Finance treasury will be used to stabilize the value of HEC through buybacks and burns.

Hector Finance's goal of combining the rebase model with enhanced scarcity will be made possible thanks to TOR. Deflation is the ultimate goal. Because TOR can only be minted by burning HEC, the demand for HEC rises as well. TOR will soon be available for use as collateral in Hector Bank, the decentralized lending and borrowing network built by Hector Finance in partnership with Ola Finance. When TOR is deposited into the lending pool, an oTOR token is provided to the supplier, and the oTOR bears all of the lending interest.

The Road Ahead for Hector Finance

Hector Finance aims to bring as much value to the $HEC token as possible. The project's main goal is to achieve zero inflation so that everyone's share of the pie grows over time. The supply will eventually be lowered to the point where it reaches a number that allows for sufficient burns while also providing competitive rewards. What steps will it take to become deflationary? They will mix the best of both worlds: a rebase project with a competitive APY (in comparison to farming and node projects), as well as an extensive ecosystem of utility to boost the HEC token's value.

The demand for the HEC token will rise as the token's utility grows. With the addition of utility to the token, APY becomes less essential over time, as the value of purchasing the token is now a combination of APY rewards and price increases due to demand and burns. Hector's project revenue is deposited into the DAO Wallet, with excess funds going into marketing, development, salaries, and, most importantly, buybacks and burns.

Cambridge, MA, Jan 28, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Biogen Inc. and Eisai Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) today announced additional details about the Phase 4 post-marketing confirmatory study, ENVISION, of ADUHELM (aducanumab-avwa) 100 mg/mL injection for intravenous use in early Alzheimer's disease, including details of the study's goal for diverse enrollment and primary endpoint.

Biogen aims to enroll 18 percent of U.S. participants in ENVISION from Black/African American and Latinx populations. This goal is reflective of Biogen's ongoing commitment to increase diversity in clinical trials.

"Historically, patients from diverse backgrounds have been poorly represented in Alzheimer's disease clinical trials, and we are committed to changing this," said Priya Singhal M.D., M.P.H., Head of Global Safety & Regulatory Sciences and interim Head of Research & Development at Biogen. "This goal matches the diversity among Americans diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease, while at the same time, the trial will generate substantial data to verify the effectiveness of ADUHELM."

Biogen will implement multiple strategies to help overcome barriers to diverse patient enrollment in Alzheimer's disease trials, such as, lack of access to medical centers, familiarity with benefit/risk profile of treatment, and financial or logistical burdens.

"It's important to see this ambitious focus on diversity being prioritized in enrollment and integrated as a key part of the ENVISION clinical trial, so that we can have data from patients who more closely represent what we see in the clinic," said Dylan Wint, M.D., Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, Nevada.

The companies also announced today that the primary endpoint for the global, placebo-controlled ENVISION trial will be measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) at 18 months after treatment initiation with ADUHELM. The CDR-SB endpoint is a validated measure of both cognition and function that is widely used in clinical trials of patients with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease, is consistent with ADUHELM's Phase 3 EMERGE and ENGAGE studies, and capable of generating robust outcomes. The update also includes an increase in the previously announced enrollment, from 1,300 to 1,500 people with early Alzheimer's disease (Mild Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer's disease and mild Alzheimer's disease), with confirmation of amyloid beta pathology, to further strengthen the data provided by the study.

Although ENVISION and other ADUHELM clinical trials are already planned or underway, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released a draft National Coverage Determination (NCD), which would restrict Medicare coverage of ADUHELM and other amyloid-targeting therapies to patients enrolled in additional clinical trials. Biogen is committed to engaging with CMS to avoid unnecessary duplication of clinical trials and work towards finding a path to offer immediate access to patients to the first FDA approved treatment for Alzheimer's disease since 2003.

In addition to the primary endpoint, CDR-SB, secondary endpoints include Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog 13), Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living Inventory - Mild Cognitive Impairment Version (ADCS-ADL-MCI), Integrated Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (iADRS), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-10).

The initiation of patient screening for ENVISION is planned for May 2022. Based on enrollment rates from the previous Phase 3 trials with ADUHELM, the primary completion date is expected to be approximately four years after the study begins. The companies are grateful to the healthcare professionals, medical centers, patients and families who will participate in this trial.

Previously, in July 2021(New Window), the companies set another substantial diversity goal in the observational Phase 4 ICARE AD trial, which aims to enroll a total of approximately 6,000 patients.

About ADUHELM (aducanumab-avwa) 100 mg/mL injection for intravenous use

ADUHELM is indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Treatment with ADUHELM should be initiated in patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia stage of disease, the population in which treatment was initiated in clinical trials. There are no safety or effectiveness data on initiating treatment at earlier or later stages of the disease than were studied. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on reduction in amyloid beta plaques observed in patients treated with ADUHELM. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s).

ADUHELM is a monoclonal antibody directed against amyloid beta. The accumulation of amyloid beta plaques in the brain is a defining pathophysiological feature of Alzheimer's disease. The accelerated approval of ADUHELM has been granted based on data from clinical trials showing the effect of ADUHELM on reducing amyloid beta plaques, a surrogate biomarker that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit, in this case a reduction in clinical decline.

ADUHELM can cause serious side effects including: Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities or "ARIA". ARIA is a common side effect that does not usually cause any symptoms but can be serious. Although most people do not have symptoms, some people may have symptoms such as: headache, confusion, dizziness, vision changes and nausea. The patient's healthcare provider will do magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans before and during treatment with ADUHELM to check for ARIA. ADUHELM can also cause serious allergic reactions. The most common side effects of ADUHELM include: swelling in areas of the brain, with or without small spots of bleeding in the brain or on the surface of the brain (ARIA); headache; and fall. Patients should call their healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects.

As of October 2017, Biogen and Eisai Co., Ltd. are collaborating on the global co-development and co-promotion of aducanumab.

XREX acquires the Money Service Business (MSB) license from Canada as it seeks to serve more cross-border merchants and expats in North America and around the globe.

Taipei, Taiwan, January 26, 2022 -- XREX Inc. announced today that it has obtained the Money Services Business (MSB) license from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (FINTRAC) under the Canadian government. The license allows the Taipei-based neo fintech firm to extend its crypto-fiat exchange services, which includes cross-border payments, remittances, global transfers, foreign exchange, and virtual assets dealing to clients. 

“Security, transparency, and compliance are the keystones of XREX. As a fully registered MSB under FINTRAC, we are once again demonstrating our industry-leading ability and commitment to creating a secure platform to combat bad actors and protect our users from crypto-related crimes,” said Nick Chang, Head of Compliance at XREX. 

As one of the most vibrant financial markets in the world, Canada is the home of millions of immigrants and cross-border entrepreneurs. Many of whom must handle remittances, receivables, and international payouts of various scales on a daily basis. Partnering with a government-approved platform like XREX is crucial to their success as they transact with their counterparts all over the world each day, in particular India, Africa, and other emerging markets. To date, XREX is the only Taiwan-based firm to have been granted the MSB license from FINTRAC. 

“This license not only recognizes XREX's ability to protect its users, but it also allows Canada-based users to leverage XREX's time-tested platform to safely facilitate their financial transactions at low costs and in real time,” said Catherine Lee, an advisor from Toronto Global, an investment attraction agency that helps the Governments of Ontario attract promising firms and foreign investment to Canada.

As Canada is one of the global standard bearers in financial regulations and digital assets protections, the acquisition of the MSB status is paramount to XREX's goal of serving more clients in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America in near future, said Chang. 

XREX is in the process of applying to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for a Major Payment Institution license, which will allow XREX to conduct money transfers, business payments, money-changing, and digital payment token services. In addition, XREX has completed the filing of its Compliance Statement on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) to Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC).

Founded in 2018 and led by internationally-recognized cybersecurity leader Dr. Wayne Huang, XREX comprises a team of experts in compliance, cryptocurrency, blockchain, fintech, and cross-border payments. XREX's protection and detection mechanisms such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customers (KYC), help cross-border merchants and businesses in emerging markets to compete on a clean and even playing field. 

XREX recently onboarded a full suite of tools from the world's top digital intelligence and forensics providers--CipherTrace and TRM Labs, making XREX one of the most tightly secure and trustworthy crypto firms in the world. 

XREX is a member of the Travel Rule Information Sharing Alliance (TRISA), a coalition of top crypto companies to combat money laundering, scams, and illicit actors in the global crypto industry. Earlier, Wayne published a CEO letter to announce that XREX is Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Travel Rule compliant.
