Lawyers Predict Ripple Win and XRP Rally – Shiba Inu and Everlodge Set for Explosive Fourth Quarter

Total Media

The price of XRP has been predicted to rally as lawyers forecast a victory for Ripple in the SEC case. Also, as the crypto market enters bull territory, Shiba Inu and Everlodge are two altcoins predicted to record great gains. In this article, we will take a look at the predictions for these three trending cryptocurrencies. Join the Everlodge presale and win a luxury holiday to the Maldives Lawyers Predict Ripple Win and XRP Lawsuit The almost three-year-long Ripple lawsuit is expected to reach a conclusion soon. With the SEC recently dropping all charges against the Ripple executives, lawyers expect the verdict to go Ripple’s way. As a result, the XRP coin has been projected to embark on a major rally. Lawyer Bill Morgan gives the SEC a 3% chance of winning its appeal against Ripple and XRP. However, Jeremy Hogan is less bullish, predicting that the SEC still stands a 14% chance of winning an appeal. Regardless, Ripple and XRP still remain the overwhelming favorites to win this case. There is more positive news for the altcoin, as there are rumors that France’s CBDC efforts might involve XRP. Because of this, crypto analysts have predicted that the price of XRP could increase significantly after a Ripple victory. From $0.5338, many crypto analysts predict that the XRP price could reach its all-time high at $3. Experts Predict 600% Price Increase for Shiba Inu When the Shiba Inu layer 2 network, Shibarium, launched in August, many investors expected a price spike. The Shiba Inu coin, SHIB, would decline from $0.00001100 to $0.000006710 in October. However, SHIB is now showing signs of recovery. Joining the crypto market rally, the price of Shiba Inu has increased above the $0.000007200 resistance. However, crypto analysts predict that SHIB could see more gains in the coming days. According to Finder’s panel of analysts, the Shiba Inu price could increase by 600%. However, unlike previous bull markets where the SHIB price grew in weeks, these gains are expected to happen over two years. This will see the price of Shiba inu reach a high of $0.00004930 by 2025. Everlodge Set To Democratize the Real Estate Industry Real estate is one of the biggest industries in the world, with a valuation of over $280 trillion. However, the high cost of properties has prevented investors from joining this profitable industry. However, Everlodge is launching to democratize this industry by building a blockchain property marketplace. Everlodge would allow every investor to participate in real estate investment with as little as $100. To achieve this, Everlodge will list properties on its marketplace. The title deeds and ownership documents of these listed properties will be digitized and minted as an NFT. The platform will then use fractionalization to divide the NFTs into smaller portions. These NFT fractions will act as shares in the properties and allow investors to buy as low as $100. In addition, the ecosystem also includes a Launchpad. Property developers can use the platform's Launchpad to raise funds for their upcoming real estate projects. This hybrid property co-ownership model of Everlodge provides nearly everyone the opportunity to finally own a piece of real estate. As a result, crypto analysts are hyper-bullish about the platform’s utility token, ELDG. Now trading at $0.023, ELDG has been projected to reach a value of $0.50 before the year’s end.

National Survey Reveals Women of All Ages Cite Mental Health as Their Number One Health Concern

LevLane

LevLane Advertising, an award-winning full-service agency headquartered in Philadelphia, has released the results of its 2023 Women’s Health Concerns Survey of 400 women, ages 18+, which explores how women are approaching various aspects of their health and wellness. The survey, which was conducted by a market research provider on behalf of LevLane, paints a concerning picture, as women report deprioritizing sexual/reproductive health and almost every other aspect of their well-being, while mental health concerns take priority. This is true even in the younger age groups where sexual health is traditionally considered as a primary concern (ages 18-34). Across all ages 18+, just 6% of all women reported sexual health as their number one priority. The majority of women (53%) reported mental health as one of their top three health concerns, with 26% saying that it was their number one concern. Stress management (45%), sleep health (33%) and heart health (32%) were among the other top concerns, while reproductive/sexual health (19%), diabetes (18%), pregnancy/post-partum (11%) and menopause/perimenopause (11%) were ranked lowest overall. Women 55+ were the only age group to report something other than mental health as their top concern. That cohort reported both heart health and stress management as tied for their number one priority. “Coming out of COVID, we expected to see a bump in mental health as a concern, but we were all taken aback by just how many women across all age groups cited it as their top concern,” said Liz Weir, chief marketing officer at LevLane. “Even in younger age groups, where we would expect to see more of an emphasis on sexual and reproductive health or pregnancy and post-partum, we found that women are putting those things on the back burner to prioritize mental health.” The study is the first in a series planned by the agency. The forthcoming surveys will continue to focus on specific aspects of women’s health with the goal of better understanding the broader women’s healthcare landscape. “In their efforts to address mental health concerns, an unintended consequence could be neglecting other very critical aspects of their well-being,” said Karla Loken, DO, OBGYN, FACOOG and chief medical officer for FEMSelect. “We need to address women’s health comprehensively; neglecting one area will ultimately lead to consequences in another. Women are juggling a lot of things, and this research is signaling that women need more support, including education and awareness on promoting a balanced approach to physical, mental and emotional health.” The study also found that many women are opting out of support, with half (50%) of the respondents saying they are not seeking support for their top concern/priority and have no intention of doing so. Additional Survey Findings: - 10% of Women 18-24 reported sexual and reproductive health as a top priority - 35% of women 35-44 said mental health was their top priority - Women 18-24 were the age group most concerned with cancer as a top 3 priority - Women 35-44 were the only age group to include obesity as a top 3 priority or concern - Women in the 18-34 bracket tend to start their health journeys with online search or through friends and family - Women 34+ tend to start their health journeys with their primary care physicians (PCPs) For complete survey results, please contact Lauren Stralo below.

Analyst Price Prediction: BNB and Dogecoin To Recover, New Project To Surge 280%

Total Media

Binance celebrated its 25th quarterly burn where it burnt 2.14 million BNB tokens. Investors are sceptical that this could affect BNB’s price. Dogecoin's price is still on the decline as the DOGE community hopes for Elon Musk’s X platform to adopt the meme coin. Meanwhile, a new crypto project, Everlodge, has caught the attention of analysts in the past few weeks. Summary: The BNB price is showing signals of a potential rally on the weekly chart. Development on the Dogecoin network dropped significantly. Analysts have forecasted a price surge of 280% for Everlodge. Everlodge (ELDG) Forays Into the Vacation Rental Market According to research, the global tourism sector has become a booming market since the Covid-19 pandemic. Statistical data shows that the number of hotels and resorts worldwide is over 700,000. However, only a few people have enough money to invest in such properties. Fortunately, Everlodge is here to level the playing field for every investor. Everlodge is an upcoming Web3 platform designed to solve challenges in real estate. People will be able to buy and sell real estate properties cheaply by using the fractionalization of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). NFT fractionalization entails dividing a full NFT representing a real estate property into fractions that people can buy with as little as $100. These NFTs have real value and can be used as collateral for loans. In the meantime, Everlodge is in the fifth presale stage. Its ELDG token is up for grabs at just $0.02. Those who buy the Everlodge token will enjoy passive income, discounts, governance rights, and a chance to win a free vacation to the Maldives. Analysts have forecasted that ELDG's value will go up by 280% by December. What is Next for BNB (BNB) Price After Token Burns? Binance Coin (BNB) is making waves in the cryptocurrency sector as it burns 2.14 million BNB tokens. This burn strategy is part of the platform's strategy to reduce the supply of BNB and increase its price. Following the burn, the price of BNB rose by 3%, to touch $213. In addition, the token has managed to maintain a 3.3% gain on the weekly chart. Looking at the price chart, the BNB coin is currently bouncing between $205.23 and $222.43. Firstly, there is an initial support level of $195.97, which acts like a safety net. Additionally, there is a stronger support at $178.77. Also, network activity on the BNB Chain has been on the rise. The network recently released the Greenfield mainnet. The aim of this storage network is to transform Web3 data usage and ownership. Crypto analysts remain bullish on the BNB coin and predict a price pump to $230 in the coming weeks. What is Happening To Dogecoin (DOGE)? Dogecoin (DOGE), the famous meme coin has been stuck in a tight trading range in the past few months. Dogecoin's price has struggled to go above $0.06 for the last two months. This lack of progress comes at a time of uncertainty in the wider cryptocurrency market. Additionally, Dogecoin's daily transaction volume has dropped, showing a lack of user interest in the coin. The price of Dogecoin has fallen from $0.06011 on October 16th to $0.058986 on October 18th. Also, development on the Dogecoin network has plunged in the past months. Nevertheless, crypto analysts are still bullish on the price of Dogecoin given its latest listing on BitTrade. They have forecasted Dogecoin's price to rise to $0.0723 when market condition improves.

Cutting Through the AEP Clutter

YourUpdateTV

Millions of older Americans rely on Medicare as a crucial support for their health care. Yet, choosing a health plan that fits their needs can be overwhelming, particularly since nearly 90% of adults struggle with understanding health-related information. This can make the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) – which runs from October 15 th to December 7 th – feel like an obstacle course Medicare beneficiaries must navigate every year. A video accompaying this release can be found here: https://youtu.be/F-MZ0L3t9Zw Recently, Terri Swanson, President of Medicare for Aetna, a CVS Health company, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the annual enrollment period and tips for consumers on how to choose a plan. When selecting a plan, the first thing people should consider is their own health needs, which can help cut through the clutter of information and make a decision that’s right for you. Medicare decisions can be confusing, so it’s important to seek out trusted sources of information and ask yourself some basic questions before choosing a plan. The three main questions people should ask themselves are: Will this plan fit my budget? This includes the monthly premium, as well as out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, copays and coinsurance for doctors’ visits, hospital stays and other health services. Are my favorite doctors, hospitals and pharmacies in the plan’s network? Are my prescription drugs covered and what are they going to cost? With these three pieces of critical information, consumers can begin the process of narrowing down their plan options and finding the one that’s right for their budget and specific health needs. In addition to the basics, like coverage for doctors and prescription medications, most Medicare Advantage plans offer a variety of additional benefits that can create further value. Examples include dental, vision, hearing, fitness membership, over-the-counter products, transportation to and from doctors’ visits and even healthy foods. To begin the process of selecting a plan, people should go to Medicare.gov. Once there, they can enter their zip code and see all the Medicare plans available in their area.

About Terri Swanson As President of Medicare for Aetna, a CVS Health company, Terri oversees the sales, operations and business strategy for Aetna’s robust portfolio of Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare prescription drug plans and Medicare Supplement plans. Terri is proud to lead a team that advocates for the older adult population, helping nearly 11 million Aetna Medicare members nationwide achieve their best health.

GLOBAL ENGINEER GIRLS ACHIEVES MILESTONE IN KOSOVO TOWARDS GENDER EQUALITY IN STEM

Limak

GLOBAL ENGINEER GIRLS ACHIEVES MILESTONE IN KOSOVO TOWARDS GENDER EQUALITY IN STEM Prishtine, October 18, 2023 - Global Engineer Girls (GEG), the international philanthropic initiative aiming to improve women’s representation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), proudly announces the graduation of 20 young women from its flagship program in Kosovo. Implemented by Limak Group in partnership with the UNDP in Kosovo, GEG Kosovo empowers young women and girls enrolled in STEM education and provides them with opportunities to gain crucial experience in a male-dominated industry. The project aims to inspire the next generation of female engineers, and highlight the strides made towards gender equality in STEM education. The graduation ceremony marked the successful completion of a year-long journey of scholarships, training, mentorship, and internships, all provided by GEG Kosovo. The ceremony also highlighted the projects undertaken by the girls during their participation in the program, including digital communication, effective team management, personal brand-building, communication, and interpersonal skills. These projects serve as compelling evidence that extending opportunities to girls is a vital way to prepare them for successful futures in the STEM world. President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, in her speech, mentioned, "We must ensure that all our bright minds have equal opportunities to pursue the education of their choice. We need these equal minds in order to address the critical issues of our time, such as climate change and AI. We cannot afford to exclude half of our population from the most pressing challenges of our era. It is imperative to collaborate and work together to achieve equality more swiftly. These young girls serve as clear examples of the potential within our youth. It is our duty to ensure that young women and girls feel empowered to pursue their dreams, regardless of the path they choose. They must harbour no fear or hesitation in stating, 'I want it, and I will make it.' Every girl holds a guaranteed place in our future. I encourage each girl to carry forward the legacy of GEG.” Chair of Limak Holding and Limak Foundation, Ebru Özdemir, said: “It's truly an important milestone for GEG and our vision at Limak. I’m thrilled to see the progress of the GEG Kosovo participants over the past year, and I am certain they all have a bright future ahead of them. Engineering isn’t a man’s world anymore, so it is our responsibility to continue to create opportunities for young women to succeed in STEM by supporting them in their studies and careers.” GEG Kosovo extends its gratitude to its supporters, mentors, parents, and volunteers, who have enabled the success of this program. Their collective efforts have empowered young girls to overcome challenges, build confidence, and unlock their full potential. Moving forward, GEG Kosovo remains committed to expanding and enhancing its programs to reach even more young girls, empowering them to break down barriers and become leaders in STEM fields. About Global Engineer Girls Global Engineer Girls (GEG) is an international philanthropic initiative that aims to inspire the next generation of female engineers. The inception of GEG was driven by Limak Group of Companies' culture and its Chairperson's, Ebru Özdemir's, deep personal commitment to improving women's representation in STEM. GEG provides girls and women with education, mentorship and career opportunities in Turkey, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Kuwait and beyond. GEG's predecessor, the Engineer Girls of Turkey (EGT), was launched in Turkey in 2015. Since its inception in 2015, the GEG university programme has benefited 710 young women by providing support for female students enrolled in chemical, civil, computer, electrical- electronic, environmental, industrial, and mechanical engineering departments in Turkish universities. This support has included funded scholarships and mentoring by hundreds of professional volunteers, as well as online training programs, soft skills and English language courses, internships, and employment opportunities at Limak's companies and partner companies.
