Global MRSA Drugs Market Analysis
Tags: Healthcare Industry, Market Analysis, Market Research Reports, Mrsa Drugs, Healthcare

The global Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Drugs Market size is estimated to be valued at US$ 964.6 million in 2019 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.4% between 2019 and 2028.

The increase in the prevalence of MRSA infections and number of hospitals, growing awareness about a bacterial infection, and increase in immuno-compromised population are expected to enhance the market growth. However, the high cost of novel MRSA drugs and hospital readmissions reduction program is projected to curb the growth of the market.

Market Drivers

MRSA drugs have been gaining significant growth in recent years owing to the rising awareness about MRSA infections. For instance, October is celebrated as world MRSA awareness month and November 18, is celebrated as antibiotic awareness day in Europe to raise awareness of antibiotic resistance and promote the judicious use of antibiotics. Thus, the growing awareness about the cause and treatment related to bacterial infection among the population led to an increased usage of MRSA drug market, which thereby provides a favourable scenario for the market to grow during the forecast period

Growing incidence of infections associated with Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pathogens is creating health concerns among the population. Manufacturers are focusing on product development and launches for the treatment of Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is expected to boost the Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) drugs market growth. For instance, in February 2019, Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. launched NUZYRA (omadacycline) in the U.S. market. The drug is available in a once-daily intravenous and oral antibiotic. It is specifically designed to overcome tetracycline resistance and exhibits activity across a spectrum of bacteria, including gram-positive, gram-negative, atypical, and other drug-resistant strains.

Media Note: Hillary Clinton’s Behavior
By: Zachary Wood
Tags: Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton

What is worse? Bill Clinton’s sleaze and sewage pride, but necessarily that evisceration calls for a vivid book proposal I might explore next year.

For time being, I will comment on Ms. Clinton’s behavior and openly encourage writers and journalists to thoroughly interrogate Hillary Clinton’s use and intent in using state-of-the-art technology.

Hillary is the most maligned presidential loser in American history.

Distilling my own impression: She’s a grating woman incapable of discovering sexual interest in her husband; this woman who, for some reason, married a philandering man who feels nauseous at the thought of their intercourse.

What else? Briefly, Hillary is stiff on the stump, curtly arrogant, clueless on social cues; more obviously fake in her every attempt to relate to people. Rodham frustrates because she feigns political adequacy and her deficits breed self-delusion: It’s like Hillary expects applause from all of her Black rapper friends.

I don’t know. I’ve been reading about new technology lately, talking to family, and researching personal experience. My careful review should aim at Hillary Clinton. Novel invisible technology can be designed and used to control cognitive function, trigger cerebrovascular and cardiovascular obstruction — and inflict penile and testicular pain by castration.

I want to know what Hillary Clinton thinks about these excruciating tech capabilities. I want to know if she has access to or has acquired these technologies.

Does she use them?

I want to know if Hillary Clinton embodies so many physical properties of pig manure that she might ever rationalize castrating, say, a former Clinton supporter who grew tired of her abuse and tried to expose her ruthless cruelty.

My hope is that thoughtful scholars and journalists may consider looking into Hillary Clinton’s history of exacting revenge on her political enemies, and people they care about.

Finally — I will think of a woman I care about who knows Hillary Clinton. I do consider close study of every legal means by which I and other American citizens can pressure Ms. Rodham.

For This Republican, Never Trump Means “I’m With Her”
By: Caroline Mccain
Tags: Never Trump, Hillary Clinton, 2016 Election, Donald Trump, Politics

Can I even call myself a Republican?

Over a year ago, on a walk with a friend through the thick DC humidity, we talked about campaigns and politics and the primaries. We talked about Trump and his outrageousness, his ignorance, and the dangers he’d pose to my party (not hers), and the dangers he’d pose to our world. But then, he was just a joke. I was angry about his comments, but I was still able to laugh them off. He wasn’t a serious threat to our world, because he couldn’t possibly win the nomination. Yet even then, I said to her,

“If Donald Trump wins the nomination, I don’t know if I can call myself a Republican any more.”

And that is where I am. The party I grew up in, the party I want to work in and change and push to be more inclusive, betrayed me and countless others. The party chose for its king a demagogue who wears a wig instead of a crown, and a celebrity in pursuit of fame and fortune rather than service and sacrifice.

If this is where the party is going — building walls to keep immigrants out, irrationally objecting to international trade, railing against marriage equality, then I’m gone. If this is where the nominee — who was for abortion before it was politically expedient, who is a racist and a misogynist, who wants to carpet bomb the Middle East and ban Muslims, wants to take the party — then I want nothing to do with it.

Loyalty to party can never trump loyalty to country. And loyalty to party means nothing when the party has been poisoned.

Whether the party can recover from this cycle remains to be seen. But it’s impossible to predict what will happen to the GOP a year from now. It’s impossible to discern whether this is a reckoning, or simply an adjustment. Whether the party will self-correct or has been irreparably damaged.

There are those who insist the party is dying, and the RNC was its wake. There are others who believe, perhaps naively, that a rebirth is possible. I am hopeful for a rebirth, a restart — but it will be impossible with Trump and his talk-radio minions at the helm.
If politics is now a ‘co-ed sport’, women have to take the ball and run… and run
By: Rashmee Roshan Lall

Edvard Munch’s Two Women on the Shore

I was very taken by Ruth Marcus’s comment in The Washington Post on the great change that has come to US politics: It’s now a “co-ed sport”.

As she writes: “The notion of a woman running for president has evolved from singular curiosity in 2016 (Hillary Clinton and Carly Fiorina, alone in their respective parties) to multicandidate reality in the 2020 campaign. There is no turning back; it is now hard to imagine an all-male Democratic ticket next year.”

True.

But that doesn’t make it any easier for a woman to be elected just on the merits of her case — policy, personality, persuasive powers. Unlike a man, female candidates do have to factor in the effect their gender will have on a political contest. In general, it will mean that a mediocre, passionless male politician could do better (or just the same) as a feisty and impassioned woman. Or that passion in a woman comes across as anger and shrillness (a nasty, shrewish tendency) while it’s considered zealous and honorable if a man makes the same points, in the same way.

All of this is true and we saw the way it played out in 2016 with Hillary Clinton. Somewhat the same problems are coming up with Elizabeth Warren this time round, but I wonder if it’s as much to do with gender as with Ms Warren. She herself uses the words “fighter”, “fighting” all the time. Her policies are bold and left-wing and she is unapologetic about them. I think when her male rivals — Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg respectively — describe her as “angry” and “so absorbed in the fighting”, they are describing what they see and hear about her politics, rather than Ms Warren’s gender.

Women must be watchful for unfair bias but not overly suspicious.

Political Thoughts: Sexism and the Democratic Primary
By: Anthony J. Perry, Ph.D., He Him His
Tags: Hillary Clinton, Amy Klobuchar, Kamala Harris, Democratic Primary, Elizabeth Warren

In 2016, we (yes, I was complicit too), fed a sexist narrative that Hillary Clinton could not be “trusted,” that somehow her preparation, her political savviness, her mere desire and effort to be President was indicative of being “two-faced.” I mean, but is she “likable”? We did not apply that same standard universally and we were wrong. I was wrong. Our patriarchal system of government was not built for women to lead and the way in which the media discussed Secretary Clinton did not allow us to question and challenge that narrative. As Sady Doyle said in 2016, “America loves women like Hillary Clinton, as long as they’re not asking for a promotion.” Let us not repeat the errors of 2016. (Follow Zerlina Maxwell on Twitter).

Yes, we can and should critique the substance of a candidate’s plans, their feasibility, the extent to which their plans consider our own identities and lived experiences. (You also have to read those plans and engage, in good faith, with those plans.) However, let us do so conscious of the role that sexism, misogyny, and misogynoir play in our evaluation of said plans, a candidate’s ability to accomplish what she has set out, and her “electability”/”likability.” Representation for representation’s sake will not undo centuries of sexism embedded in our governmental system (like Barack Obama’s did not upend the racism embedded in it); however, nor will the dog-whistle politics of calling the second Black woman elected to the Senate a “cop,” or calling the first woman elected to the Senate from Massachusetts “unlikable” or playing a “con to convince us that she holds progressive values,” or calling the first woman elected to the Senate from Minnesota “difficult to work for.” If these candidates were Mr. Harris, Mr. Warren and Mr. Klobuchar, I have no doubt they would be praised for their “vigilance,” their “discernment,” how much they ”held their employees to a high standard.”

Read the candidates’ plans (Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar), read more than one article or one tweet about their record, listen to their interviews (“Kamala Harris on Jimmy Kimmel,” “Elizabeth Warren on the Late Show,” “Amy Klobuchar on the Late Show,”), read their books (Harris’ “The Truths We Hold,” Warren’s “The Two-Income Trap,” “A Fighting Chance,” and “This Fight is Our Fight,” and Klobuchar’s “The Senator Next Door”), follow and engage with their surrogates (Bakari Sellers, Doug Emhoff, and BlackWomenViews and for Kamala Harris, Team Warren, Deb Haaland, Ayanna Pressley, and Katie Porter for Elizabeth Warren, and Justin Buoen for Amy Klobuchar).
85 minutes as president. Kamala Harris’ place in history
By: Rashmee Roshan Lall
Tags: Hillary Clinton, Women, Making History, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden

Her DNA ensured Kamala Harris made history on November 3, 2020, when she became the first woman and the first black and South Asian to be elected vice-president of the United States.

On Friday (November 19) she notched up another history-making moment…or roughly 85 historically significant minutes.

She became the first woman to formally assume the powers of the presidency — albeit briefly — while Joe Biden underwent a routine colonoscopy.

Mr Biden transferred power to Ms Harris, as part of a process set out in the US constitution. It’s not a big deal really, as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has pointed out. This too was “the case when President George W Bush had the same procedure in 2002 and 2007,” Ms Psaki said in a statement. Mr Bush’s vice-president assumed the presidency for a short period.

No one paid particular heed at the time. But naturally, because Mr Bush’s vice-president was a man and men have always held the US presidency.

How then to parse the hype over Ms Harris ‘ achievement — for all of 85 minutes?

Well, it is historic, in that it has never happened before. But (and there is a but) the repeated shoehorning of Ms Harris into a ‘first’ and ‘only’ category in the history books brought back memories of Hillary Clinton’s run for the presidency in 2016. At the time, her bid to be commander-in-chief of America’s armed forces was touted as a vote for history, rather than the best candidate. It was a chance to shatter what Mrs Clinton once described, as “the hardest, highest glass ceiling”. I remember writing at the time that “it is almost as patronising for a woman to get a job on account of her gender as it is to be denied it for that reason.”

So too the history books.

End of an era
By: Øyvind Helland
Tags: Hillary Clinton, Religion And Spirituality, History, Donald Trump, Time

It’s nearing the end of misfits. The misunderstood and misinterpreted. We only needed the internet and a ton of understanding. Finally you may Witness our ascension and the proof of an existence beyond us.

“Praying for TIME to disappear". It may not be the end you want it might be the one we need though. At least at first.

Often we need to see the devil first to vobfrint him and turn away. Now, I am NOT saying Trump is a devil, he us far from it. He us in fact a propagator of a typical feminine value; emotion based leadership. It’s SO nice to see and feel and follow in close relations, and SO dooming in complex systems. Oh well, we need a good portion of emotion in office as well. Stone cold Hillary with an almost purely masculine value platform would not have been better and the devil that is here already sound more easily hide until it was too late.

No, it’s good that Trump is steering us straight for the cliff, then we may discover our course and change it *I (just barely) in time.

End if an era. Hopefully not the end of time.
Refusing To Let History Turn Page, Three Political Cadavers Mull Presidential Bids

Refusing To Let History Turn Page, Three Political Cadavers Mull Presidential Bids

No, not again. Please go away! (Credit: salon.com)

Three dinosaurs of the American political landscape — Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders — are considering a run for the White House, all but assuring that the Democrats will lose the presidency once again in 2020.

This tedious trio of fossils needs to make room for some fresh faces and new ideas in the Democratic party, but they are refusing to go away. Not only have they worn out their welcome, they’re really old: by the time the 2020 election rolls around Sanders will be 78, Joe Biden will be 77, and the youngster Hillary Clinton will be 72.

“I may look old, but I’m feeling really good, very strong,” said former VP Biden, as his wife Jill wiped drool from his chin. “Most importantly, my mind is clear thanks to my daily, one-hour regimen of sodoku.”

Sanders says he wants to run again because “my bitter, acerbic, curmudgeonly campaign style is exactly what the Democratic party needs to beat Donald Trump.” Mr. Sanders was apparent forgetting that it’s Mr. Trump’s bitter, acerbic, curmudgeonly style that people hate.

Hillary Clinton is apparently considering another run for the White House because “three time’s the charm, or is it three strikes you’re out? In any case, I do believe 2020 is my year.”

If the presidential ambitions of these three political artifacts aren’t enough to discourage a young generation of voters, perhaps the rumblings of former Vice President Al Gore (age 72 in 2020) or the expected bid of former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg (he’ll be 78 in two years) will be enough to convince progressives to start their own nation.

In other news, former President Jimmy Carter (age 94) says he’ll try out for the 2020 Olympic fencing team.

Kaine Throws Hat in the Ring For VP 2020
By: Simon Black
Tags: Hillary Clinton, Comedy, Virginia, Funny

Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine has announced that he will be running for vice president again in 2020, despite everyone’s wishes.

“I know I didn’t really add much in 2016,” he said. “Maybe it’s my fault Trump is president. I feel bad and I want to make it up to the American people.”

Kaine is willing to run again as Hillary’s VP, or any other candidate who wants him. “I love Joe Biden. Heck, I’d even settle to be on the bottom half of a Bernie Sanders ticket.”

When questioned about the lack of enthusiasm from nearly the entire world for his candidacy, Kaine acknowledges he doesn’t have much of a personality.

“But that’s what makes me vice presidential,” he explained. “You don’t want somebody who’s presidential. You want someone more like me, a little bland, or someone like our current VP. He’s kind of perfect. So unpresidential.”

Hillary Clinton barely carried Kaine’s home state in the election. The two apparently aren’t speaking.

“I love Hillary,” Kaine lied.

“I love Tim,” Hillary Clinton’s spokesperson said.

The Democratic National Committee refused to believe that Tim Kaine was running at all. They put out a statement reminding Americans that you don’t run for Vice President. You get picked by the winning candidate for president.

That’s not stopping Kaine.

“By running for vice president, what I really mean to say to whoever wins the primaries, pick me, pick me, please pick me…”

When questioned, none of the thirty-five already announced candidates for Democratic nomination said they had any interest in picking Kaine as a running mate.

“I’d rather run with a turnip,” said one presidential hopeful, who asked to remain anonymous.
When Did James Comey Become Corney?
By: Robert Pannier
Tags: Hillary Clinton

I will admit that I had not even noticed this until it was pointed out to me, but an interesting thing appeared in the Inspector General report submitted by Michael Horowitz. James Comey’s name is spelled incorrectly throughout the document. Instead of being referred to as “James Comey” He is called “James Corney.” (C-O-R-N-E-Y)

I will admit that the error is hard to see. When one looks at the inspector general’s report (you can read it here) you will see that there is not one instance where his name is spelled correctly. However, the incorrect spelling appears 163 times. Check it out for yourself. Open the document and do a search of “Comey.” You will find no results. Then search “Corney.”

That is simply weird and not easy to see. Because the “r” and “n” blend together so well, they appear to be an “m.”

So, did Horowitz suddenly forget how to spell the former FBI director’s name? Did everyone who reviewed this document before its final submission?

The truth is that this may have been a subtle attempt to save Comey from future embarrassment. Maybe the IG didn’t really want to speak ill of Comey. It would explain how he could find 17 instances of how the FBI falsified documents or misled the court against Trump, yet did not believe there was any bias.

Fortunately, some watchful people out there discovered the discrepancy.

Now, before any of you declare that this document was sabotaged or not legitimate, look at the URL. This is the official site of the Department of Justice where this is being held. No person is registering a .gov address, so this is the official report.

No matter what side of the aisle you are on, literally everyone should despise this guy. I believe Comey had aspirations of being the next J. Edgar Hoover. He was thinking he was going to rule the country from the FBI. This is why he tried to sabotage Hillary Clinton and why he was spying on Donald Trump. He figured he would have dirt on everyone that he could use to blackmail and coerce them for decades.

If the IG was looking to save Comey embarrassment, it didn’t work. If you search “James Corney,” you will be led to James Comey. America’s sleeziest cop will continue to be exposed as a dirt bag. Now that is one thing we should all celebrate.

EPISODE THREE. The gruesome truth behind the torture…
By: Molly Molloy
Tags: Big Stories Matter, Crime, Mexico

Chapter Eleven

THE TORTURE BEGINS

Raul is a soft-spoken man, his skin is smooth and unworried, a handsome face like something seen in cinema, not narco hit squads. He has moved on, and thanks to witness protection, he has embedded himself in America. He runs several small businesses and he has a new family. He has left the past behind, and he only talks now because agent Hector Berrellez has asked him to return to those days and tell what he saw and heard.

Raul comes from the state police. He recalls the same meetings as Berrellez’s other main informations — Godoy and Ramon—leading up to the kidnapping of Camarena, with the same cast of capos, law enforcement, major politicians, and the military. He remembers the day the Jehovah’s Witnesses rang the doorbell. They are praying to God to save them when the bullets tear into them.

“Now,” he allows, “it is a horrible thing but at the time it was what everyone was doing.”

He is at La Langosta restaurant when the two Americans enter and Caro Quintero orders them seized.

He hears Caro Quintero tell presidential hopeful Bartlett Diáz, “Remember us when you get up high.”

Twice Raul sees a different American agent at Fonseca’s home, the guy who comes for money and packs it in a garment bag. He says he’s there when Max Gomez and Bartlett Díaz come by for the money packed in cardboard boxes and Caro Quintero says, “Here’s your money, now let’s get to work.”

And he’s there at the house on Lope de Vega Street on February 7, 1985, the morning of Camarena’s capture. About 40 people have gathered including Caro Quintero and Félix Gallardo and their bodyguards. DFS personnel and state police also attend. At 12:30 p.m. a man shows up who is known to work at the American consulate and immediately the group focuses on the actual kidnapping of the DEA agent. The consulate figure tells Fonseca’s key henchman that everything is set according to the schedule “I gave you earlier.”

A caravan of four vehicles heads for the consulate. One car is dropped off as an escape option if things go bad, the others take up surveillance positions. Fonseca parks two blocks away.

Raul is in the car with the consulate employee who had insisted that Camarena would exit from the south door on Calle Libertad. It is sometime after 2 p.m. The consulate employee suddenly signals “Mira ese es [Look, there he is].” Raul and two other men exit the car and approach Camarena.

The henchman flashes his DFS credentials and says, “The comandante wants to see you.”

Camarena begins to reply, “When we are summoned and our services are needed it is done through…” This response is cut short when the officer sticks a gun into Camarena’s ribs and shoves him into the backseat of the car. Raul pulls Camarena’s jacket over his head and the man from the consulate drives the car back to the house on Lope de Vega Street. The henchman makes a brief radio announcement to those involved in the operation: “The doctor has seen the patient.”
Blood on the Corn: A DEA Agent is Tortured and Killed in Mexico
Tags: Big Stories Matter, Crime, Mexico

Godoy is part of a small army of witnesses who are kept isolated from one another and who usually have no idea that others are stashed in the U.S. and have also become informants. They will be fresh, they will not have a chance to compare stories. They know little of the investigation because it asks questions that hardly matter to them. Enrique Camarena was a foreign agent in their country poking into their business. His torture is not significant. In Mexico, it is well known by everyone that if you are picked up by the police, you will be tortured. If you are picked up by the drug traffickers, you will be tortured. And often the same person works for the police and for the traffickers. Godoy is a perfect example: He is a policeman for the state of Jalisco who is assigned by his comandante to be Ernesto Fonseca’s personal bodyguard. He is on official assignment, on a good career track with bonuses, because Fonseca is a caring boss. And this DEA agent Enrique Camarena fell into his life like a live grenade and blew it up.

Berrellez understood that there is only one way to get to the actual killers — the powerful men who live in safety and who order their murders done for them — and that is through people like Jorge Godoy.

Years later, Godoy leans forward, his breath on my face, his eyes bulging.

“Look at me, look at my eyes” — he points two fingers at his eyes — “do they look like the eyes of a man who shoots someone in the back of the head? No, no, I only shoot in the front, not in the back.”

He is standing, leaning forward. This matters, whether it is true or not. Only in the front, not the back. Such assertions allow these men to hang on to shreds of conscience.

The informants, over 200 of them, the witnesses produced by recruiters Berrellez paid in Mexico, they are unsavory to most people because they have made careers out of crime. And some of the key witnesses had killed U.S. citizens without regrets. Prosecutors hesitate to put a man on the stand who had been part of a team that tortured and murdered two American couples, raping the wives in front of their husbands first. None of this is unusual in a criminal justice system that makes deals with the devil every day.

Berrellez finally decides out of all the informants maybe 10 could be used as witnesses. The others are simply too compromised to withstand cross-examination. But when the Camarena case began to rupture, it was not because of the crimes of the witnesses. The case ran into trouble because of what the witnesses said and the people they talked about.

They take the investigation into that room where Enrique Camarena is screaming. Because they were in the room.

Chapter Four

KIKI
2021: Anything But Static
By: Raymie Humbert
Tags: Year In Review, Television, Radio, Mexico

One station group was swallowed whole this year, and it’s evidently taking its toll on the proverbial digestive system. En Frecuencia was first to report on April 30 that NTR, the Zacatecas-based print and broadcast conglomerate, had purchased ABC Radio. Immediately, NTR national newscasts began to air on the motley ABC chain, and a source close to the stations told EF that the new management’s decisions were causing revenue to fall.

The headline individual deals of 2021 mostly related to two companies who had decided to go on a diet: Grupo Radio Centro, which carried out part of its plan to sell 10 non-core stations in Mexico City, and Grupo ACIR, which has been hiving off some of its interior stations.

By the end of the year, six stations had evident activity toward a buyer or had a new operator take control. El Heraldo Radio acquired stations in Monterrey and Oaxaca; Audiorama picked up XHVOZ in Guadalajara and Grupo Radio Digital has announced it will take over XHKB in the same city (after buying a pair in Mérida); Rafael Aguirre purchased XHPBCQ of Cancún, fulfilling a more than 20-year-old dream; and XHXV-FM in León is announcing a “new era” to come. The company also filed to sell its three US stations in El Paso, Texas, for 1/200 of what it paid for them in 2016; sold Tijuana’s XEAZ-AM to lessee PSN; and spun out its Mérida cluster to Península Studios.

Grupo ACIR made fewer sales. It sold one station apiece in Mazatlán and Culiacán to a group led by Roque Mascareño Chávez and Luis Alberto Díaz, to form the cornerstone of a new statewide service called Vibra Radio where the latter hosts the main newscast. Two Guadalajara-area men acquired XHCIA-FM in Colima.

Also noteworthy were IFT approval of the sales of XHNSS-TDT Nogales, Sonora, to De la Fuente Media Group, which the year before had bought an associated FM on the United States side of the border, and XHPCZA-FM Zacatlán to Daniel Carlos Cázares Álvarez.

2020 demonstrated that although the world has progressed exponentially in terms of technology and human ingenuity, it can come to a standstill by a deadly pandemic. One thing that the ongoing pandemic has taught us, is the power of resilience. Resilience as a strategy has helped businesses and individuals to pivot this crisis by anchoring on hope and being pragmatic at the same time.

We entered 2021 on a much more optimistic note with vaccines finally seeing the light of the day. But the current spike in cases on account of the omicron variant gives us a sense of deja-vu. Unequal vaccine coverage and vaccine scepticism can be blamed to a great extent for the continuing pandemic.

What does this say about human behaviour and society at large? Human behaviour is an interplay of personal beliefs and the environment (social + political narratives) that leads to the shaping of mental models, which influences decision-making.

There is no right or wrong — its all about perspectives.

Another aspect is the prevalence of trends and contra trends at the same time. It is not a new phenomenon, but the intensity displayed now is not seen before. As we look forward to 2022, I have put together an aggregation of 7 trends/contra trends/learnings in this note that encapsulates the emergent reality (behavioural + technology + industry).

Hope you find them useful. Look forward to hearing your thoughts and perspectives.

Wishing you a safer and brighter 2022!

Creators will use JGN DEFI to create NFTs before importing them to the Blind Boxes marketplace

Full support for creator royalties will be included

As a Blind Boxes creator you will need to mint your NFTs before you can sell them on Blind Boxes. Now you can use JGN DEFI to create your NFTs before you return to Blind Boxes to list them for sale.

Minting process

After navigating to the JGN minting page, select the token type you want to mint. BEP-721 and BEP 1155 are the available options.

Next follow these steps to create, but not list your NFTs.

Sailing into 2022

’tis the end of the year, and we have a few things to say, so brace yourselves, for a storm is on the way, me hearties.

Let’s Talk Business

First, let us answer the most asked question so far. Where are the NFTs from the booster pack sales done through Babylons, our first INO platform? And you have the right to know why it took so long, so without further ado, here goes:

NFTs require a special contract for minting and burning, and having one is fairly a simple and easy process — however, having one for a video game, that will be playable, with a fusion system, and the ability to modify/improve/update the NFT without affecting the holders, is another story. We wanted to use the most advanced minting engine/contract possible for our NFTs, one that we can rely on for scaling our business, and growing the ecosystem, one where we won’t ever have to deploy V2 NFTs for, and this is what took us so long.

The minting engine that we currently have is a piece of art that we are extremely proud of, and will be able to allow us to support the games and products, and pretty much anything from our ecosystem, should we ever need it. It’s finally nearing its deployment on mainnet, as we’re wrapping up the testnet version’s QA research.

As an apology to our fellow seafarers, we will be sending out a special, one-time only limited edition NFT for every single Babylons INO participant regardless of the packs you bought. You don’t need to message us or anything, we have the sheet full of every address that contributed, so expect a cool NFT drop that you can utilize in the game, me hearties!

So, when are we sending the NFTs out? First two weeks of January. We can’t give a specific day, but we have a lot of cool things under our sleeves that we will be deploying and launching in the first month of a wonderful new year for crypto, and Yarloo specifically.

Say Hi to the World of MECTA!
Tags: Gaming, Metaverse, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, Nft

A project that is a few years in the making…

We are excited to finally reveal to you what we’ve been working on. We have hit some obstacles on the way, but we stuck to our original vision and were able to carry it out. Mecta has a passionate team that has been working nonstop for this release. We are finally ready to share our incredible mech NFTs and the virtual landscape they are able to fight on.

Get a head start in the first 3 dimensional mech-focused game on blockchain!

Mecta is a breakthrough blockchain game that combines the concept of battling robots and NFTs. Its dynamic combat style and explorable immersive 3D MetaVerse allows for a fun time and potentially a big payday. The NFTs in Mecta are not like the typical “collectible card” NFTs so common in crypto today. Instead, they are usable and functional NFTs that can be inserted into the Mecta Metaverse and become in-game pieces.

Players are able to buy various NFT Mecta Crates to get champions/weapons as well as fight and enhance their Mechs in game. The game allows players to participate in token mining and earn upgrading pieces called artifacts, while enjoying a fun and strategic fighting game in the PVP mode. Players can also earn MECH tokens from sales and trades and winning in the core game or limited time tournaments.

The Metaverse

Mecta is an online multiplayer game where you can team up with friends to adventure across time and space. In the Mecta Universe, you can collect more than one class of Mechs to fight and gather resources for you. With a unique arsenal of weaponries for each Mech, Mecta opens up various combinations of tactics for players to use in game.

Differing from the current norm in blockchain based games, Mecta does not only provide a unique play to earn mechanism, but it also has a fairly low entry to play. You can start with just one Mech game piece. The core earning mechanism is relatively easy to understand — defend to mine tokens and other resources.

Participate in our very first NFT presale soon! (Early 2022)

What will be available?

- Purchase the first Mechs during presale

- Customize your pilot avatar

- Register and visit your mech garage and take a ride on your Mechs

- Participate in our land presale — get a cut of the mined resources for perpetuity

Follow our journey, see completely breakthrough 3D modeling MECH game pieces and learn when the official pre-sale launches!
