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.

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.

The pathways on the island are adorned with radiant rows of shimmering trees, creating a magical and ethereal atmosphere as they sway in the wind. 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.

News Release

Kaleo Forecasts 40% Price Pump For Floki; BONK and Meme Moguls Hits New All-time High

Total Media

A pseudonymous crypto analyst known as @CryptoKaleo on X has predicted that Floki will rise 40%. Meanwhile, BONK and Meme Moguls have set a new price record. Analysts have also predicted that the value of Meme Moguls will rise by 100x, making it among the top altcoins to watch. Let’s see why these tokens are up. >> Can You Predict The Next 1000x Meme Coin? Become A Meme Mogul Today << Can Floki (FLOKI) Rally 40%? On Wednesday, a pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst, Kaleo, @CryptoKaleo, predicted a 40% surge for Floki, a meme coin. Kaleo compared Floki and a meme coin based on Solana called BONK. The analyst noticed a consistent pattern in Floki’s recent price changes. To emphasize the similarities, Kaleo provided a short-term technical analysis comparing the breakout models of BONK and Floki. According to them, “the structural similarities are quite evident. A 40% increase in Floki price would not be surprising, considering it would still be 20% below its all-time high.” According to data from CoinMarketCap, the Floki price has jumped 25.6% on the 7-day chart from $0.00003233 to $0.00004431. BONK (BONK) Overtakes FlokI Inu’s Market Cap BONK (BONK), a dog-themed cryptocurrency token built on the Solana blockchain, has experienced tremendous growth. It currently holds a position among the top three “dog-themed coins” based on market cap. As of December 8, data from CoinMarketCap showed that BONK has a market cap of $753 million. Floki, on the other hand, has a market cap of $385 million. The token’s trading volume has seen double-digit gains in the past week. The price of BONK has seen growth of 956.0% in the previous month, a 1,800% surge from late October to late November. On the weekly chart, the price of Bonk has soared 203.8%, reaching a new all-time high of $0.00001251 on December 8. BONK’s notable success is due to the resurgence of its parent network, Solana. The token has recovered in 2023 from its 2022 crisis. Meme Moguls (MGLS) Does Not Depend On Hype, Unlike Floki and BONK Meme Moguls (MGLS) has positioned itself as the best crypto investment by merging memecoins and play-to-earn gaming into a single platform. Unlike most memecoins, MGLS derives its value from real-world uses rather than relying solely on hype. It serves as both an in-game currency and a governance token within the Meme Moguls ecosystem. Within the ecosystem, community members and friends can also arrange tournaments on the Meme Moguls platform and engage in simulated investment games. These tournaments can range from casual fun to featuring prize pools and entry fees, fostering collaboration among users while providing opportunities to win prizes and rewards. This aspect positions Meme Moguls as the preferred choice for those seeking entertainment and potential rewards, often dubbed the best crypto investment. This strategic approach is anticipated to drive demand for Meme Moguls’ native token, MGLS, even higher. Meme Moguls seamlessly incorporates NFTs into its ecosystem. As a result, users can purchase and sell rare NFT characters that enhance trading capabilities and improve trading conditions. Importantly, the rarer the NFT, the more favorable the conditions, including leverage and spreads. The value of the MGLS token currently stands at $0.0021. Market experts have projected a 100x price increase during the presale. Conclusion In summary, the top altcoins to watch out for more gains are Floki, BONK, and Meme Moguls. However, Meme Moguls is the only meme coin with utility on the list. This has fueled the increased interest in the project.

Crypto Analyst Ali Martinez Makes a Bullish Cardano Price Prediction; Everlodge To Combine AI Technology With Real Estate Investment

Total Media

Recently, the prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez made a bullish Cardano (ADA) price prediction that has excited the crypto community. Simultaneously, Everlodge (ELDG) - a new DeFi project, announced plans to integrate cutting-edge AI technology into its ecosystem. Because of this, many experts now believe that this rising presale star (now in Stage 8) can experience a 3,000% value growth in 2024. Keep on reading as we go over these developments in greater detail. How High Can Cardano Go? Ali Martinez's optimistic prediction has placed Cardano (ADA) in the spotlight, forecasting a potential surge in its value. Over the past month, the Cardano price has increased from $0.38 on November 9 to $0.62 on December 9. According to Martinez, Cardano may soar to $0.75 before the end of 2023. The Cardano crypto technical analysis backs this claim as it trades above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Moreover, this altcoin has experienced 17 green trading days out of the last 30. This is a noteworthy 57%, bolstered by a low price volatility of 7.31% during that time. If Cardano can maintain this uptrend, reaching $0.75 before the year ends may be plausible. That is why Cardano is a good altcoin to watch at the moment. Everlodge (ELDG): One Of The Best Crypto Coins The global hospitality industry was valued at $4.5T in 2022, and Everlodge (ELDG) plans to dominate it with its unique platform. It will create the first property marketplace to mint real-world properties into NFTs and then fractionalize them. As a result, you may become a fractional owner of a New York hotel on the blockchain and join the world's top 1% for a low price. The crypto community is also excited about Everlodge's AI integration. Notably, this AI-driven tool will monitor and scan property prices all over the globe. Using predictive algorithms can help you discover undervalued markets that could skyrocket soon. For example, if you used the tool two years ago, it would have pointed to Dubai as the next real estate hotspot. All this is powered by the ELDG native token, which is now in Stage 8 of its presale, costing only $0.027. Millions of tokens have been sold in just a few months as investors want to grab them before their value surges. With early buyers gaining 170% ROI, this fear is well-warranted. Holding it will also give you benefits such as discounts or passive income via staking. With Everlodge's innovation, it may become a fan-favorite for millions of people. Therefore, experts remain bullish as they forecast a surge to $0.038 before the presale ends. History shows us that a Tier-1 CEX listing could cause a 30x value growth for ELDG when it launches. With a limited-time 10% deposit bonus, those purchasing this DeFi token are now positioning themselves for tremendous returns. An Era of Anticipated Growth and Innovation As the crypto community anticipates the potential surge in Cardano's value fueled by Ali Martinez's prediction, Everlodge's integration of AI technology adds a layer of sophistication to real estate investment. It will add to your investment experience while also helping your decision-making. Thanks to its lower market cap of $14M, Everlodge may surpass Cardano, making it the best crypto to invest in.

News Release

Galaxy Fox's Stage 3 is Almost Sold-Out. Here's Why It’s So Hot

RoundHouse Media

Watching for boisterous early movers proved a reliable strategy for turning modest sums into huge crypto stacks in 2017 and 2021. Luckily for investors, 2024 will offer a repeat of the pattern, and finding these small-cap gems before they launch is a one-way ticket to netting 1000X returns in this cycle. Galaxy Fox ’s ( $GFOX ) stage 3 is about to sell out. Could it be one of these early movers and a top crypto to buy in 2023? Here’s what we know. Galaxy Fox ($GFOX): A New Generation of P2E Galaxy Fox is leading the next generation of play-to-earn tokens, and this unique hybrid has risen rapidly, establishing itself as a top crypto to invest in before the 2024 GameFi-driven bull market. One of the only tokens uniquely positioned to enjoy two narratives. Galaxy Fox’s viral aesthetic, micro-cap, and deflationary tokenomics put it in the memecoin race, and its runner game puts it on the GameFi stage. The team has purposely enhanced the protocol's viral nature, allowing the possibility of it mooning overnight. A highly novel introduction from Galaxy Fox is a protocol-level marketing budget. Marketing is the key component of success in a bull. Galaxy Fox routing 2% of buy and sell taxes to the protocol Treasury- responsible for funding community initiatives and marketing efforts- outlines a constant revenue stream for ecosystem expansion. Additionally, revenue generated by real-world merchandise feeds the Treasury. As marketing attracts more users, the Treasury will accrue greater revenue, and further efforts will draw in new users. This is how Galaxy Fox activates a powerful flywheel for acquiring users. This business sense naturally makes $GFOX one of the best cryptocurrencies to buy for people who understand marketing dynamics and the importance of new users. All users in the Galaxy Fox ecosystem can compete in its Web3 runner game. Those skilled enough to end the season in the top 20% will earn prizes exchangeable for $GFOX tokens- a top crypto to buy in 2023 for any users confident in their gaming abilities. But Galaxy Fox offers more earning opportunities and moves away from the classic play-to-earn model, which only rewards a small percentage of skilled players. Instead, everybody staking $GFOX earns. Investors earn residual income via Stargate – the protocol’s staking module. Stargate accrues 2% of all ecosystem transactions and distributes these among stakers. Using taxes as opposed to emissions means these rewards have no theoretical cap and will grow in tandem as the ecosystem expands. $GFOX Full Scale Rush Into Stage 3 Galaxy Fox has blitzed past $750,000 and already entered stage 3. Those lucky enough to buy during stage 1 have already enjoyed two price increases. Given its current pace, investors who want to lock in the remaining seven price increases will have to move fast. The window of opportunity steadily closes- the days when investors can buy discounted $GFOX are numbered. Closing Thoughts: Move Fast and Securing Upside Crypto has always rewarded investors who move fast, take risks, and try new things. Galaxy Fox’s genre-bending approach to product development- releasing a memecoin/ P2E hybrid- makes it one of this year’s most exciting propositions. And its sub $1 million market cap looks primed to fly in the current market environment. Participate in the presale today and enjoy all the incoming staggered price increases. There is no telling how high $GFOX can soar, and entering price discovery in current market conditions could see prolonged vertical growth. Discover why analysts call $GFOX a top crypto to buy in 2023 and get an allocation before the GameFi bull market begins. Learn more about $GFOX here: Visit Galaxy Fox Presale | Join the Community 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 â or even something just to make you laugh, like OG memcoins of the past Doge and Shiba Inu once inspired.
