Taboo's Futuristic Marketplace and Revised Roadmap Revolutionizes Global Crypto Entertainment Adoption

Prodigy Press Wire

Taboo, the trailblazer in the crypto adult entertainment industry, is set to launch its ground-breaking new marketplace, welcoming users to explore a future filled with unprecedented opportunities. Recent updates to the project's plans — Whitepaper and Roadmap — reveal strategic insights. Taboo's vision centers on a gated content distribution platform, featuring a marketplace that incorporates live-streaming events, virtual reality (VR), NFTs (non-fungible tokens), a merchandise store, in-person live events, fiat on-ramp purchase solutions, and gamification concepts tailored for investors, consumers, and their valued model partners. Notably, Taboo stands out in the adult content and crypto markets, offering a blend of various features and exclusive events tailored for both investors and consumers. Noteworthy is the fact that there are 3.3 billion adult content consumers, a substantial figure compared to the 400 million global crypto users. Unlike other adult projects, Taboo distinguishes itself by meticulously planning Mansion Events that foster community engagement. These events not only offer engaging experiences with supermodel partners but also foster a sense of community and networking among like-minded individuals. The success of their 1st event in Summer 2022 anticipates an eagerly awaited 2nd event in Q3 2024 for top-tier holders. The marketplace, structured on a four-tier system, promises exclusive content collections, with Tier 4 offering unparalleled access to the world of TABOO, covering both online and in-person events. Taboo’s Upcoming Marketplace, Gamification, and Mass Adoption Taboo empowers users to confidently explore their desires using advanced blockchain technology, ensuring low fees, fast transactions, and easy access to the TABOO world. The upcoming Q4 2023 Marketplace release includes a modernized interface with revamped UI/UX, user-friendly onboarding, and wallet options (custodial or non-custodial) for a seamless experience. This marketplace will enable the ability to purchase $TABOO via trading pairs, such as $TABOO/USDT or $TABOO/BNB, coupled with fiat-to-crypto on-ramp (through bank wire or credit card) and notable APY (Annual Percentage Yield) through staking. This highlights their focus on global mass adoption. Next, a structured supermodel tiering system also awaits, offering increased benefits based on engagement with Taboo. This includes a unique fan-model staking rewards program where fans can stake onto individual supermodel talents' profiles. Simultaneously, they will be unveiling a state-of-the-art Merchandise Store, in partnership with a global brand, providing sustainable products with model-inspired lines. Fostering a unique connection, earnings are shared with models, and exclusive NFT wall art and print-on-demand items add an extra layer of exclusivity. In addition, the updated Marketplace will host a TABOO magazine, blending journalistic integrity, fashion, and stunning models—tailored for the modern consumer. It will feature up-and-coming new model partnerships, showcase models of the month, and provide limited-edition collections from in-house TABOO branded supermodel photoshoots, amongst other undisclosed benefits. A thrilling gamified release lets users explore Taboo's 2024 Calendars featuring exotic shots of their partnered supermodels. Each calendar unlocks bonus rewards, including live-streaming passes, exclusive TABOOPUNKS NFTs (including Gold/Rare Punks), up to 100K+ $TABOO tokens, discounts in their merch store, free TABOO branded merch, and more. Gamification elements, from bonuses to a unique fan-model staking rewards program, incentivize users to actively participate and strengthen the $TABOO ecosystem. To further their mass adoption strategy, the TABOO team is cultivating the User and Model Academy, focusing on educating new model talent, investors, and adult consumer populations not yet crypto-savvy. Within their upcoming Metaverse TABOOVERSE, interactive walkthroughs will guide Web2 users into Web3 domains. Updated Roadmap and Advancements: A recently updated roadmap stretching to 2025 outlines the brand's focus on mass adoption by infiltrating dominant industries. As blockchain technology, NFTs, VR, and AR mature, Taboo stands at the forefront, with technological advancements including individual showrooms, VR rooms, and a full-fledged metaverse (TABOOVERSE) that includes the TABOO User Academy and promises virtual mansion parties and exclusive privileges for Tier 4 holders. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes dominant, Taboo is set to implement AI-driven model companions, bridging the gap between fantasy and reality. The impending release of their native, next-generation blockchain TABOOChain in Q4 2024 will add diverse $TABOO utilities, and unlock cross-chain integrations to expand global reach. In conclusion, Taboo invites users to explore the world of TABOO, emphasizing ongoing rewards, benefits, and unique features.

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.

The World remembers the Nanjing Massacre on December 13 anniversary as new evidence continues to surface

Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre

On November 17, Evan Kail, the American pawnshop owner who donated an album containing photos of atrocities committed by the Japanese Army in World War II in China, updated the complete electronic archive of the album and published a lengthy article titled "Through the Storm" on his personal website. This article recounts his journey over the past year. Last year, Kail claimed to have discovered "new evidence of the Nanjing Massacre," sparking a global discourse on "rethinking the historical facts of the Nanjing Massacre" through social media. His findings garnered widespread attention worldwide. In his article, Kail candidly admits to facing many challenges in his quest for the truth but asserts that, given the chance, "If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't do anything differently." Towards the end of the article, he quotes a line from a thank-you letter he received from the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago last year: "History serves as a mirror for the people today and your donation certainly inspires everyone with a kind heart to safeguard peace." Kail reveals that he reads this letter whenever he feels down, using it as a reminder to bravely face the storm. The search for truth is never easy, prompting us to shift our focus to the other side of the globe. In the city of Nanjing, China, the Memorial Hall for the victims in Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Army stands as a solemn monument on the site where the atrocity occurred. The "Wailing Wall" in the memorial is a shared tombstone for the 300,000 victims of the massacre. On December 13, 1937, after the Japanese occupation of Nanjing, in violation of international conventions, the Japanese military brutally massacred unarmed civilians and disarmed Chinese soldiers. One-third of Nanjing's buildings were destroyed, and the city witnessed nearly 20,000 cases of rape and sexual assault. Substantial public and private property were looted, and the total number of casualties, according to post-war judgments by the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal, exceeded 300,000. The ancient city of Nanjing endured an unprecedented catastrophe. When the "Wailing Wall" was established in 1995, it was 43 meters long and 3.5 meters high, engraved with the names of 3,000 victims of the Nanjing Massacre. In the 28 years since its creation, the wall has seen several expansions, with names now totaling 10,665, and its length has nearly doubled. China's efforts to seek, prove, and commemorate individual lives have never ceased. Since 2014, December 13 has been legistated as the National Memorial Day for the Victims in Nanjing Massacre. This year marked the tenth National Memorial Day. On this day, the China holds a national memorial ceremony at the Memorial Hall, where people pay tribute to the victims, express gratitude to international friends such as John Rabe, John Magee, and Minnie Vautrin, and reaffirm their stance of "Remember history, cherish peace and create a better future" This year, a total of 27 activities were organized. On December 3, survivors Xia Shuqin, Liu Minsheng, and Ai Yiying, accompanied by their families, visited the Memorial Hall. Facing the "Wailing Wall," they bowed, laid flowers, observed a moment of silence, and mourned their relatives and compatriots who perished 86 years ago. However, as time passes, the witnesses are dwindling. Currently, there are only 38 surviving Nanjing Massacre survivors. Survivor Chang Zhijiang's memories live on through his daughter Chang Xiaomei. In recent years, Chang Xiaomei has not only accompanied her father but also participated in various testimony activities. She also wrote and published "The Life History of Nanjing Massacre Survivor Chang Zhijiang." Chang Xiaomei emphasized that as descendants of survivors and inheritors of historical memory, they bear a heavier mission and responsibility. She is one of 23 Nanjing Massacre historical memory inheritors, a number that continues to increase. On December 8, the Memorial Hall announced that it had collected 1,103 pieces (sets) of historical materials this year, including the Japanese Army field daily records, field reports of Japanese 12 th artillery regiment headquarters, and original copies of American newspapers during the Nanjing Massacre. Notably, reports from, New York Times (December 6, 1937) and Chicago Daily Forum (December 14, 1937) about "a race between two Japanese officers to see who will be the first to slay 100 Chinese with the Japanese sword", which have important historical, cultural relic, and exhibition values. The Memorial Hall's collection now totals 193,000 pieces (sets) of various items, with many valuable artifacts coming from overseas, including donations and collections from Japan. On December 9, the Japanese citizens' organization "Continuation of Nanjing Memory Association" held a gathering in Osaka, Japan, calling on the Japanese people to reexamine the historical lessons and significance of the Nanjing Massacre in the context of today's world. Emphasizing the importance of not forgetting history and building peace, over 150 Japanese citizens attended the event, where a documentary film about American doctor Robert Wilson was screened. The film tells the story of Wilson's efforts to save Chinese victims during the Nanjing Massacre. Tamaki Matsuoka, founder of the " Continuation of Nanjing Memory Association" said: "I started going to Nanjing 35 years ago for field investigations, interviewing and collecting testimonies of survivors of the Nanjing Massacre, and collecting testimonies of veterans of the Japanese Army who invaded China in Japan. During this process, I felt that pain caused by the Nanjing Massacre to the survivors remains." Ms. Nomura, a participant at the meeting, said that the history of the invasion of China by the Japanese Army was not covered at all in modern history courses in Japanese schools. Many Japanese young people do not know this history. "This is a big problem." Zhou Feng, Director of the Memorial Hall for the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Army, emphasizes the crucial role the memorial has played in safeguarding the "Unforgettable Memories" of the tragic event. Over the decades, the Memorial Hall has served as an authoritative channel and a sacred space of remembrance, utilizing artifacts to reconstruct a comprehensive understanding of the Nanjing Massacre. Zhou hopes that this profound appreciation for historical memory will inspire more individuals to yearn for and uphold the values of peace. In late October, the exhibition titled "World Memory, Vision for Peace: The Historical Reality of the Nanjing Massacre" toured Madrid, Spain, and Budapest, Hungary. Featuring over 100 historical photographs, 10 tangible exhibits, and 9 replicas, the exhibition narrated the brutal actions of the Japanese Army in Nanjing and the subsequent international tribunal that prosecuted Japanese war criminals. Diaries and letters from Western individuals provided a third-party perspective, reconstructing historical events. This includes reports from Spanish media such as El Diluvio during the Nanjing Massacre and photographic works by Hungarian war correspondent Robert Capa, published in the US magazine Life. These works were capturing international attention for the Chinese battlefield. Marcelo Muñoz, Honorary Chairman of the Spanish Confucius Institute, stressed the importance of remembering history to articulate the truth, uphold justice for the victims, and prevent the recurrence of atrocities. Former Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Medgyessy emphasized that young people need to understand the significance of peace, recognizing that collective human development can only occur in a peaceful environment. Why does the Nanjing Massacre matter to all of us? Because it is a tragedy that belongs to all of humanity, an indelible memory that mankind cannot afford to forget. In 2015, the " Documents of Nanjing Massacre " were included in the UNESCO "Memory of the World Register".This collection comprises 11 groups of archives, including the 16mm film camera and film negatives of American pastor John Magee, the original verdict of the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal against Japanese war criminal Tani Hisao, the testimony of American Miner Searle Bates at the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal, and foreigner diaries titled "Occupying Nanjing - Witness Accounts." These are among the most typical Nanjing Massacre archives. During a recent event of opening precious archives to the public, after closely inspecting the original documents, Nanjing youth Yan Binlin remarked, "Opposing war, cherishing peace, is the common voice of humanity." https://twitter.com/NanjingMemorial https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089685514522 Contact Details Mr. Feng Pingping 452522613@qq.com

Education in Conflict Zones: Advancing Technology for Learning in Chad

Can't Wait to Learn

Amid an escalating refugee crisis and the strain it imposes on Chad's education system, the research initiative led by War Child and funded by GPE KIX, explores the expansion of technology for education, notably the Can't Wait to Learn program. The initiative's aim is to improve and ensure continuity of children's learning for displaced children in conflict affected regions through engaging technology. (Michael Knief/Global Partnership for Education) The challenge Despite its own social and economic challenges, which include poverty, malnutrition and food insecurity, the government of Chad provides shelter and asylum to 1.3 million displaced persons including 1,025,640 refugees from Sudan, Central African Republic, Cameroon and Nigeria. The UN predicts that due to the conflict that erupted in Sudan on April 15, 2023, there will be an influx of 600,000 new Sudanese refugees in Chad by the end of 2023. This burgeoning refugee crisis compounds the strain on Chad's already underfunded education system. Children make up 54% of the forcibly displaced population in Chad, putting significant pressure on the country's education system. With limited funding in the education sector, overcrowded classrooms and a shortage of qualified teachers, hundreds of thousands of children including refugees have limited access to education. "When you have a large population of refugees, with around 750,000 kids knocking on your country's doors, [you can] understand the concern that is shared today." – Saeed Farah, Secretary General of the Chadian Ministry of Education and Civic Promotion To tackle these challenges, War Child, funded by GPE KIX (a collaborative initiative between GPE and Canada's International Development Research Centre) researched the scaling of technology for education in Chad, Sudan and Uganda. The GPE KIX initiative aims to explore how technology programs like Can't Wait to Learn can be scaled, with the overall goal of enhancing the quality of education for refugee and displaced children. Can't Wait to Learn In 2019, War Child launched Can't Wait to Learn in Chad, and introduced an engaging educational platform delivered via tablets and mobile devices. This technology follows the national curriculum and is tailored to cover grades 1-3 (students age 5-14). It offers refugee and internally displaced children the chance to continue their learning journey, advancing at their own pace at school and at home, while earning credits within the host education system that enable a smoother transition into formal schooling. "The Can't Wait to Learn program was designed to help children in conflict situations. This program is designed first by the children themselves, drawing on their everyday lives." – Emmanuel Uwamungu, Project Lead, Can't Wait to Learn, Jesuit Refugee Service What distinguishes the program is the involvement of local learners in its creation: War Child conducted workshops in local communities where they facilitated artistic sessions for children to share their stories and ideas with local artists. These narratives and designs were then woven into the Can't Wait to Learn program, enriching it with the children's perspectives and creativity. The program plays a vital role in strengthening fundamental mathematical and literacy competencies and knowledge and as learners master new skills and concepts in numeracy and literacy, they unlock more challenging levels. The success is in large part because recognizing their own community and context in the learning content is very meaningful and motivating to children. Chad's Refugee Education Strategy for 2018-2019 highlighted the Can't Wait to Learn program as a notable achievement within the education sector. "You can see the impact this program has on the students... They never miss a class, especially on the day of the device-based learning program." Nour Haroun Babakar, Parent Her son, who aspires to be an accountant or pilot, has a newfound enthusiasm for learning, eagerly racing to be the first in class every day. Nour has seen a significant shift: not only are children learning more, but they're also noticeably happier and more engaged outside of lessons. (Michael Knief/Global Partnership for Education) The research GPE KIX supported research aims to explore, extend and integrate the roles of multiple stakeholders – including caregivers, the community, teachers and educators, academic institutions, implementing organizations and policy makers – to deliver sustainable education and the provision of education technology programming informed by evidence. In Chad, the research produced analyses and tools to support the adoption of Can't Wait to Learn by partners and guide its sustained impact at scale. It combined interviews with key members of the government and private companies, organizational document analysis, and social network analysis among technology actors. Using the International Competency Assessment of Numeracy, War Child and GPE KIX also analyzed the learning of over 800 students in 20 schools across three refugee camps in Chad: Djabal, Gos Amir and Goz Beida. In 11 of the schools, Can't Wait to Learn accounted for more than half of the numeracy lessons each week. In the remaining 9 schools, education continued as before. The results Results suggest that between November 2021 and March 2022, children participating in the Can't Wait to Learn program showed noticeably better learning than those in the comparison group. Children using Can't Wait to Learn learned 50% more than children who didn't use the program. Girls learned four times more than boys. Girls started with lower numeracy skills compared to boys but caught up in just 4 to 4.5 months. These results are significant in the face of Chad's learning poverty rate (being unable to read and understand a simple text by age 10) which stands at 98% for children completing primary school. The findings suggest that with the right support, technology initiatives such as Can't Wait to Learn can help bridge the gender gap in educational achievement and improve learning for refugee children in Chad. In terms of the broader research Jasmine Turner, from War Child, highlighted a crucial insight regarding scaling strategies, emphasizing that a "one size fits all" approach doesn't apply universally. In some contexts, governments are readily embracing technology programs, whereas in others, NGOs and private companies are better equipped to facilitate scaling up efforts. Chad's Ministry of Education has endorsed War Child's research and appealed to NGOs to support the scaling up of Can't Wait to Learn in the country.
