Moreover, over the past week, its InvestorsObserver Sentiment Score has been "Neutral," suggesting a balanced market outlook with no strong buy or sell signals. Additionally, Elon Musk's love for Dogecoin (DOGE) has helped its price jump. He calls himself the "Dogefather," and even changed X's logo.

New Era in DeFi: Everlodge (ELDG) Outshines Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL)

Total Media

Ethereum (ETH) is the leading DeFi project with a TVL of more than $30 billion. While Solana (SOL) is hot on the tail of Ethereum with its fast transaction speeds and growing popularity, a new player has entered the DeFi game — Everlodge (ELDG). This new DeFi project is especially intriguing as it surged by 170% during a presale phase of discounted tokens. Let's examine Everlodge's offering and why it's creating quite a buzz in the DeFi world. Revolutionizing Real Estate Investment with Everlodge (ELDG) Everlodge is reshaping the $280T real estate industry by using blockchain technology to transform physical properties into digital assets. This enables anyone to invest, trade, and own a fraction of the world's real estate. $100 is all that retail investors need to own a fraction of some of the most sought-after properties in the world. Everlodge isn't just revolutionizing ownership but is also energizing the broader real estate sector. The Launchpad function is a central hub between ambitious property developers and a community of investors. It's a place where developers can easily secure development capital while investors gain access to exclusive pre-sale deals. Then there's the Rewards Club, a testament to Everlodge's vision of delivering unparalleled experiences. Whether it's enjoying complimentary stays, monetizing acquired nights, or leveraging property-related NFTs for loans, there are rewards for all to enjoy. While the Everlodge platform has yet to launch, the ELDG token can be bought for just $0.027 during the presale. This price will keep increasing as word spreads about the project's potential. Once on exchanges, ELDG is expected to surge by 30x when the platform launches. ELDG tokens are well worth holding onto as they come with staking rewards, exclusive deals, discounts on stays, reduced fees, and more. This means that holders may not only benefit from potential token price appreciation but also from additional incentives. Everlodge is the perfect example of DeFi's true potential in the real world. The real estate market is one of the largest and most valuable in the world, and by integrating blockchain technology, Everlodge could become a household name. Visit Everlodge Ethereum (ETH) Price Analysis and Resistance Hurdles Ethereum continues to reign as the leader in smart contract technology, boasting a formidable market capitalization of $270 billion and a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $28.50 billion. Ethereum has been a linchpin in the DeFi arena, powering popular projects like Uniswap, MakerDAO, and Aave. However, Ethereum is starting to lose its sheen as scalability and high gas fees pose major obstacles to further growth. The rise of Solana, Avalanche, Comos, and other Layer-1 solutions has intensified competition, with Ethereum facing challenges in maintaining its dominance. This seems to be reflected in the Ethereum price, which is hovering at the lowest ETH/BTC ratio since June 2022. The ETH/USD chart shows more positive signals, but Ethereum still struggles to surpass the $2,500 resistance area. Yet, there are positive developments for Ethereum. Notably, Blackrock and other institutional entities are seeking the SEC's approval for spot Ethereum ETFs, which could propel ETH to new heights and potentially ignite another bull run. The development of layer-2 solutions, like Arbtrium, Optimism, and Polygon, also boost Ethereum's scalability and address its high gas fees. Plus, the anticipated EIP-4844 update will take fees to below a dollar. Whether these technical developments can take Ethereum to the $10,000 price level remains to be seen. Some early Ethereum fans are now using their ETH tokens to join the Everlodge presale, especially while tokens remain at low prices before price discovery begins. Assessing Solana (SOL)'s Market Potential Solana is on a mission to be the fastest and most user-friendly blockchain, and it's gaining significant traction in the DeFi space. Solana fans appreciate that products can already be built on the platform and that it can process thousands of transactions per second. Unsurprisingly, Solana's TVL has grown to $898m, and there are over 50 million transactions daily. The price of Solana reflects the growing interest in the platform, with the current price of $69 representing a 762% gain since January 1st, 2023. But just how much higher can Solana go? The chart shows that $80 is the next strong resistance level to overcome. This price hasn't been achieved since May 2022, so it is unlikely to break it on the first attempt. There is also the looming threat of the FTX Estate selling off billions worth of SOL tokens in the near future. The buying pressure will need to be strong to soak up this sudden influx of tokens, and it will be interesting to see how the market reacts. Solana also faces competition from other layer-1 solutions such as Algorand, Avalanche, and Kaspa. Solana would need a market cap of roughly $900 billion to keep up with Everlodge's expected 30x boom upon release. That's why some Solana holders are taking their 2023 profits and diversifying into the Everlodge presale to potentially catch another huge return.

Bull Run Bonanza: How to Carefully Pick the Next 100x Altcoin King

RoundHouse Media

The crypto bull market has a history of making many millionaires. In previous bull cycles, some top altcoins achieved ROIs greater than 100x. Since we have entered another bull market, altcoins are set to experience parabolic increases. But how do you identify the best cryptocurrencies to invest in? This article will explain how to carefully pick the next altcoin set for a parabolic rise and offer examples of such altcoins. >>BUY $GFOX TOKENS<< Understand the Crypto Market Like every other market, the cryptocurrency market experiences phases of accumulation, uptrends, distribution, and downtrends. The best cryptocurrency investments are often made during the accumulation period or just before the uptrends start. The massive price surge of Ripple ($XRP) in 2017 and Shiba Inu ($SHIB) in 2021 happened during these phases. Thankfully, the cryptocurrency market just exited an accumulation period. This means we’re still in the early stages of the new bull cycle. Find a Project With Potential While we have established now’s the right time to invest, how do you find the best cryptocurrencies to invest in? During the previous bull markets, the biggest gainers were little-known projects. However, they all share similar traits; they were unique projects that sought to establish a new model in the cryptocurrency market. One project treading down this route is Galaxy Fox ($GFOX). This crypto presale project has merged the exciting world of meme coins with play-to-earn (P2E) gaming. By doing this, Galaxy Fox hopes to create a new category of meme coins with real-world utility. The game revolves around unique fox characters engaged in interplanetary combat. Players will embark on an epic journey after selecting their own unique Foxes for the fascinating web-3 game. The best players will receive in-game items and $GFOX tokens for their abilities and accomplishments. >>BUY $GFOX TOKENS<< Get in Early and HODL Through the Bull Market Finding projects as unique as Galaxy Fox is not enough to ensure a 100x price surge during the ongoing bull market. You need to get in early after finding the best crypto to invest in right now. Galaxy Fox has seen a flurry of investors. The project has received more than $820,000 in the last couple of weeks as it has been ranked as one of the best ICO presales. The surge of interest has seen the ERC20 coins of the platform, $GFOX, increase by more than 70% to trade as high as $0.001122. However, it still remains decently priced for investors looking to jump in. Next, you need to HODL through the bull market. For example, the massive Ripple surge in 2017 took approximately 9 months to peak. Shiba Inu experienced it in seven months. With its unique proposition, $GFOX has been ranked among the best cryptocurrencies to invest in for this bull market. Closing Thoughts While often dubbed “overnight millionaires,” investors who reap the most in bull markets spend a good amount of time waiting. So the best strategy is to buy now and hold through the bull market to enjoy the forecasted 100x price growth of $GFOX. Learn more about Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) here: Visit Galaxy Fox Presale | Join The Telegram Group | Follow Galaxy Fox on Twitter Memecoin market is saturated with silly dog coin knock-offs and dodgy Pepe joke coins. What was once a thriving and fun-filled space has lately devolved into a wasteland of coins that lack real utility or serious development – or even something just to make you laugh, like OG memcoins of the past Doge and Shiba Inu once inspired.

Vinpearl Golf: Embarking on a Global Odyssey of Excellence

Vinpearl

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 December 2023 - In an extraordinary convergence of 60 globally renowned golf legends and hundreds of golf enthusiasts from across the globe, Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam 2023 has etched a unique mark on the international stage. Nestled against the picturesque backdrop of Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa, this remarkable event stands as a testament to Vinpearl Golf's commitment to excellence, transcending the realms of competitive prowess and embracing an unparalleled resort experience amidst the breathtaking allure of Hon Tre. A Golf Extravaganza at Vinpearl Nha Trang Initiating within the esteemed Legends Tour, a premier professional golf tour in Europe, the revered golfing legends commenced their journey to claim the championship cup from the iconic Tram Huong Tower, symbolizing the heart of Khanh Hoa. The procession gracefully wound along the Tran Phu coastal road, circumscribing Nha Trang port in VinFast VF 9 vehicles, receiving an awe-inspiring welcome from the sports community at Hon Tre. From November 28 to December 2, 2023, Vinpearl Nha Trang hosted a spectacle of competition, witnessing 60 golf "legends," including luminaries such as Euan McIntosh, Emanuele Canonica, John Price, James Kingston, Adilson Da Silva, Stephen Dodd, Joakim Haeggman, Peter Baker, and Markus Brier. This historic event marked the inaugural hosting of a European professional golf tournament in Southeast Asia. After two days of Pro-Am camaraderie with Vietnamese and international golfers, the legendary golfers embarked on three riveting official rounds. Adilson da Silva, the Brazilian maestro, displayed exceptional form, leading the scoreboard after the initial two days and continuing his stellar performance on the final day to claim a deserving victory. The accolades included the Dong Son Bronze Drum replica trophy—a poignant symbol of Vietnamese tradition—and a prize package valued at an impressive 93,500 USD. Scott Hend secured second place, while Ricardo Gonzalez and Michael Campbell, the US Open 2005 champion, shared third place. The top three contenders were awarded prizes totaling 200,000 USD, with the organizers revealing plans to elevate future event prize funds to an astounding 1 million USD. Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam 2023 unfolded at Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang, an 18-hole golf masterpiece nestled on the island paradise of Hon Tre. With its internationally acclaimed design, this course seamlessly blends the dreamy expanse of the azure sea with the majestic grandeur of the mountains, offering legendary golfers undulating fairways, hilly terrain, and ever-changing sea breezes—a concoction of challenges that captivated players. Over three days of competition at Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang, 60 legendary golfers delivered awe-inspiring performances, showcasing perfect swings, precise putts, and astonishing ball trajectories. Notably, on the second day of competition, a Hole-In-One (HIO) was recorded at the par 3 Hole 13 by legendary English golfer Malcolm MacKenzie after an exquisite swing. This particular hole, characteristic of Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang, provides a panoramic view of the sea, a sloping terrain towards the green area, and presents various challenges to golfers with wind, undulating terrain, and deep sand traps. Therefore, when the English legend sent the ball over a distance of 150 yards from the green tee straight into the hole, onlookers erupted in cheers, astonishment, and admiration. The prestigious prize for Malcolm MacKenzie included an "all-in-one" vacation at Vinpearl valued at 250 million VND and a one-year stay at the Pullman Vung Tau Hotel, part of the DIC resort system, worth 100 million VND. A Legendary Journey of Golfing Experience Beyond the confines of a golf tournament, Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam 2023 transcended into a luxurious travel journey, offering golfers an unparalleled experience within the distinctive ecosystem of Vinpearl Nha Trang.

Various scenes are adorned with a simultaneous burst of "festival colors," recreating special occasions such as Christmas and welcoming the new year in 2024, providing a sense of familiarity to international visitors. In the four days of complete relaxation before venturing into the mentally challenging rounds on the Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang course, seasoned golfers immersed themselves in boundless joy through an unforgettable experiential journey. This included a splendid stay in luxurious beachfront villas amidst the ocean, overwhelming emotions and awe while enjoying the multimedia Tata Show performance at the renowned VinWonders Nha Trang theme park, health and spirit rejuvenation through premium spa treatments at Akoya Spa, natural mud baths on Hon Tam Island, and indulging in dinners featuring high-quality local specialties and global culinary excellence in the romantic setting of resort restaurants nestled in the bay.

New Report Highlights Weight Stigma in Media and Calls for Change

Media Empathy Foundation

A new national survey conducted for the Media Empathy Foundation sheds light on pervasive weight stigma in media, revealing that individuals with higher body weight perceive negative stereotypes, body shaming, weight blaming and exclusion from leading roles in TV and other forms of media. The report, titled “Weight Stigma and Media: Assessing the Impact”, draws attention to harmful impact and emphasizes the need for more inclusive and respectful representations across all channels. The study surveyed more than 1,200 U.S. adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, a demographic that accounts for 42% of American adults within the range of obesity according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The findings reveal a concerning pattern of problematic media portrayals with potentially detrimental consequences and underscores the need for consistent, compassionate, and accurate representation of individuals with higher body weight in media. The findings were discussed by a panel of leaders in media (Deborah Roberts, Al Roker and David Sloan) and academia (Rebecca Puhl, PhD and Holly Lofton, MD) at the Edge in NYC. “Weight stigma in the media exists in both blatant and subtle ways, reinforcing harmful attitudes and societal weight bias of people with higher body weight. There is a clear need for more respectful and compassionate media portrayals of people of diverse body sizes,” said Rebecca Puhl, PhD, Deputy Director for the Rudd Center for Food Policy & Health and Professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences at the University of Connecticut. Key findings from the report include: High Prevalence: Most respondents assert that social media (73%), TV shows and movies (65%) and TV news (55%) often or sometimes perpetuate negative stereotypes about individuals with higher body weight. Only a small minority (5% or less) feel that this never happens. Health News Stereotyping: Respondents say that health news reports tend to blame people for their weight (70%) and suggest that all people with higher body weight are unhealthy (79%). Terminology Matters: A notable 88% of those surveyed find the term “fat” to be offensive or inappropriate, more so than “morbidly obese”, while “plus-size” and “overweight” are seen as appropriate by more than half. Negative Personal Impact: One in three respondents report that media portrayals have made them feel disrespected, with about as many reporting negative effects on their body image and self-esteem. One in four report negative effects on their mental health. Desired Change: Respondents are calling on creators to focus on character attributes beyond body type and to eliminate weight-based stereotypes, humor, or derogatory portrayals, advocating for more inclusive roles and realistic character development, as well as emphasizing health and wellness without resorting to shaming. Holly Lofton, MD, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine and Surgery and Director of the Medical Weight Management Program at NYU Langone Health added, “It’s important that health news media more consistently report on the complex causes of obesity rather than assuming it’s the result of poor willpower or self-discipline.” “The media industry shapes the way we think and has the power to create a more aware and supportive culture for people with higher body weight,” said Helene Ellison, Founder and President of the Media Empathy Foundation. “That’s our hope in bringing weight stigma to the forefront.” The report was produced for the Media Empathy Foundation by Langer Research Associates and was made possible thanks to the support of Novo Nordisk Inc.

BEST 3 STEP WINTER BEAUTY ROUTINE

Flora Mirabilis

Simplify and destress your cold-weather beauty routine with Flora Mirabilis (Latin for the wondrous flower). The cult-favorite line created by LA-based holistic esthetician Jordan LaFragola offers the most effective 3 step skincare routine that simplifies, destresses, and makes your routine more economical. The only three products you need for beautiful skin- perfect for travel and gifting! STEP ONE: CLEANSING CLAY is a rich, creamy blend of oils and clay that deep cleanses without drying skin out. Goes on like a cream and emulsifies to a silky lather with water, washing clean and leaving skin soft, smooth, and perfectly cleansed. Linoleic acid-rich carrier oils support healthy barrier function, decreasing moisture loss and nourishing the skin. Essential oils rich in terpenes are anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and detoxifying to purify the skin. Kaolin, the mildest of clays, does not pull oil from the skin and instead gently removes surface impurities, making it ideal for everyday use. Apple Cider Vinegar powder lowers the PH of the blend, so it is balanced and beneficial to the skin. The cleanser doubles as a mask when left on the skin! The tube is 5 layer aluminum barrier laminate and shapes to the clay when squeezed. 3oz, $60 STEP TWO: The ultra-clean FACE OIL moisturizer is handcrafted in small batches from 10 transformative plant-based ingredients that brighten, balance, soften, and restore skin, enabling a full range of results in a single step. Sacha Inchi, Apricot Kernel, and Pomegranate Seed oils form the blend's base. These hypoallergenic fruit seed oils are rich in fatty acids, giving the oil its smooth, lightweight texture and intense skin nourishing abilities. Vanilla and Saffron are infused for an antioxidant boost that leaves skin bright and glowing. Essential oils of Sandalwood, Frankincense, Lavender, Rose, and Oud are rich in phytonutrients that restore balance to your skin and give the oil its subtle, gender-neutral scent. Since the beginning, Flora Mirabilis FACE OIL has been handcrafted in small batches for friends, private clients, and niche boutiques. It features a natural, subtle, gender-neutral scent of wood and resin. The bottle is spill-proof and break-resistant, presented in custom-designed white glass with a hand-finished wood cap and a Renaissance-inspired floral motif. EWG Verified™, Leaping Bunny certified, and clinically tested on people, never animals. It is dermatologist-tested and free of synthetic ingredients, fragrances, dyes, and other common skin allergens. The hypoallergenic formula is recommended for even the most sensitive skin. 30ml, $120 STEP THREE: The heavyweight facial massage BEAUTY TOOL is forged from medical-grade 304 stainless steel and used to encourage lymphatic drainage, boost circulation, and relax tense muscles, promoting a healthy, glowing complexion. The ergonomic shape rounds inward on one edge and outward on the other to fit the face and neck contours, with blunt, pointed tips for acupressure and precision work around smaller areas. It is break-proof and designed to last a lifetime. $60 Flora Mirabilis offers a three-piece set, packaged in a wooden gift box and tied with a decorative ribbon. Includes full-size FACE OIL, CLEANSING CLAY, and stainless-steel BEAUTY TOOL. $220 Contact Details Spotlight Beauty PR spotlightbeautypr@gmail.com
