(December 13, 2021) Two pharmaceutical companies have issued recalls in December due to manufacturing issues that may impact the safety and quality of their drug products.

Edge Pharma issued a voluntary recall for all drug products produced in its FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility in Colchester, VT.  Edge stated that products were removed as a result of “process issues” that may have impacted the sterility of its drug products.  The recall includes a wide variety of sterile products.  These include lidocaine, vancomycin, norepinephrine, and methotrexate, as well as a number of non-sterile products.  The use of non-sterile drug products that are intended to be sterile may result in serious, possibly fatal, infections.

Also this month, Teligent, Inc. issued a voluntary worldwide recall on two lots of their topical lidocaine solution due to superpotency.  The two lots had been distributed throughout the United States.  Superpotent lidocaine can be dangerous to patients and has the potential to cause systemic toxicity leading to hypotension, brachycardia, and possible cardiovascular collapse. In October, the New Jersey company issued a similar recall in connection with five lots of topical lidocaine solution.

Fortunately, no adverse events related to the December recalls by either Edge or Teligent have been reported.

What do you get when you combine Super Mario Brothers, Elon Musk's puppy Floki, and cryptocurrency?  You get Mario Floki silly!  Remember the excitement while playing through the 8-bit side scroller as you collected coins, gobbled power-ups, and pounced on enemies to rack up the points?  I can hear the victory music playing as I slide down the pole at the end of each stage.   Guess what, you can still get that nostalgia from the original game but here's the twist – you can earn crypto just by playing it!  Read on to learn how -  Let's-a GO!!!

What Is Mario Floki Exactly?

The crypto and blockchain space is growing rapidly these days especially in the past year.  Bitcoin just hit an all-time high and is continuing to push upwards while NFTs just hit the mainstream market.  Metaverses are hot and it seems like every day new cryptocurrencies are being created.  Amongst the noise, are tons of token projects and meme coins that took the spotlight.

MARIO FLOKI: GAMING NOSTALGIA WHILE EARNING CRYPTO 
There is a fair share of Mario-inspired projects along with a plethora of dog-themed ones. Yes, Mario Floki is a token project but it isn't just your typical meme coin.  Instead, Mario Floki is a token project that has a “Super Mario Brothers meets Floki Shiba Inu” theme.  Both are super cute and recognizable - so why not right?  It sounds good but what exactly makes up Mario Floki's token project?  

Imagine earning token rewards just by playing a Super Mario-themed mini-game, then using them to earn BUSD.  There's also an NFT marketplace where you can buy, sell, trade, or HODL your favorite characters.  Aside from all of this, players and holders can use the tokens to actively or passively earn BUSD through their DeFi protocol.  This is all pretty impressive but it doesn't end there.  As a member of the Mario Floki community, you are actually contributing to the welfare of kids (more on this later)!  

The Pillars Of The Mario Floki World

We've all seen projects fail after the initial hype dies down and most of the whales have liquidated their holdings.  The overall trading volume reduces shortly thereafter, usually in parallel with the mounting FUD.  The fate of a token without utility, or at least a solid use case, is often destined to the graveyard of dead crypto projects.  Luckily for the Mario Floki community, several pillars establish the foundation of their token project.  Let's take a look at each pillar in detail.  

Play-To-Earn Gameplay

NFT games like Axie Infinity have taken the crypto gaming industry by storm this year and the blockchain gaming movement isn't stopping any time soon.  Mario Floki capitalized on this movement by creating their play-to-earn (P2E) game which is reminiscent of the original Super Mario Brothers (SMB) side scroller.   Who doesn't want to play games while earning, right?

The characters that can be chosen are all inspired by the cast found in SMB and the storyline is similar to it too.  You'll be able to select a character like MarioFloki, or FlokeyKong, or a host of other familiar characters and progress through the levels while racking up points, collecting power-ups, and gaining experience.   Princess PeachFloki is being held captive so it's your job to clear the stages of the MushroomFloki Kingdom and fight your way towards the final boss, BowserFloki.  

All of this sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it?  Here's the thing – Mario Floki isn't trying to reinvent the wheel or tap into the metaverse.  Their intention is simple:  Let players have some fun with mini-games and let them earn $MRFLOKI tokens at the end of each level completion.  The P2E mini-game format is perfect for those who like to game but don't want to invest hours upon hours to level up their characters only to receive marginal payouts.  Playing the game is simple too.  

You're allocated three tries, or “lives”, per day which is similar to how the original SMB game was set up.  There isn't a reset or pause button so there is an element of FOMO on token earnings per day if you were to lose all of your tries.  You'll definitely want to hone your skills because the difficulty increases with every stage but the overall game is simple enough that the barrier to entry is quite low.  Because the P2E game maintains interest via the leadership rankings, players are incentivized to keep on playing and to continue unlocking rewards.   The players at the top of the rankings will receive prizes that are set by the community but you'll need to be actively playing and maintaining your position to see what they will be.

Rewards, Charity, And Earning Mechanics

Okay, so you're getting good at the P2E game and are accumulating tons of $MRFLOKI tokens.  What do you do with them?  After accruing at least 100 million $MRFLOKI tokens you can earn crypto passively.   Yep, you read correctly!  The Mario Floki team calls this the “Super BUSD Bonus” where players can earn BUSD rewards automatically every hour just as long as this minimum holding quantity is held.  Since BUSD's price is relatively stable, you can rest assured that your cashouts from crypto to fiat will be fairly accurate and predictable.  

Other competitor tokens require a much higher minimum holding quantity - some as high as 10x more.  The $MRFLOKI token supply is limited to only 1,000,000,000,000 which is also comparably low to other competing projects.   What this means is that the relative token scarcity and the low minimum holding quantity for earnings make it attractive for passive income investors.  With the law of supply and demand in full effect here, you can expect the price of each token to increase in value as time passes, especially as interest in the project grows.  

As a $MRFLOKI token holder, you will be earning on every transaction.  The tokenomics is set up so that for each type of transaction (either buy or sell), tax is collected and redistributed to different sections of the operations and as rewards to HODLers.  You stand to earn anywhere from 6-8% BUSD for these transactions so it pays to HODL – the more you hold, the more you will earn in taxes.  What's interesting here is that from the taxes collected from the sell transactions, a portion goes to charity.  

Mario Floki wants to give back, not only to the community of investors but also to those in need.   Mario Marathon is an online fundraising organization for children in need and the team at Mario Floki drew inspiration from them and mirrored their idea.  The team is working to establish partnerships with charities that specifically work towards the betterment of children's lives.  Think of the children out there with no food, shelter, medicine, have disabilities, or lack opportunities.  What this means is, you as a $MRFLOKI token holder will be contributing to these charities and therefore helping to transform people's lives.   

NFTs And Giveaways

The Mario Floki team is working to partner up with various exchanges soon so make sure to keep up with them via their Telegram account.  Once they are listed, you can expect their token value to spike pretty much immediately, so watch out for that.  The team plans to issue daily quizzes so that all levels of investors in the community and even non-investors have fair earning opportunities. These provide another avenue of earning rewards and while securing whitelist spots for giveaways.  

Remember we talked about the playable characters in the P2E game?  Special edition characters can be purchased through the NFT marketplace.   These aren't your typical NFT digital art, however.   You can marvel at its beauty but because only a limited supply of each character are minted, they will truly be scarce and as the project increases in popularity, they will become coveted items.   

As an added incentive, these NFT's can be playable in the P2E game.  The difference with these NFTs versus the stock characters is that they will have special attributes, like the ability to throw barrels if you have one of the special edition Flokey Kong NFTs.  Because the NFT can be used within the P2E game, you have an advantage in the game and this can ultimately play in your favor when earning rewards.  

Why Should I Join Mario Floki?

Mario Floki is DeFi token project that allows players, investors, HODLers to earn crypto while buying and trading within their NFT marketplace.  The $MRFLOKI token is directly correlated to your BUSD earning potential.  The more you have the more you can earn passively but it isn't just a means to earn crypto.  

Mario Floki combines Defi and crypto P2E gaming while contributing to the betterment of children's lives – all through a fun, playful, and familiar cast of characters.   If this isn't a win for all, I don't know what is.  The presale is coming up very soon so make sure to get in on the action as soon as possible.

vEmpire DDAO (https://v-empire.digital/), a project dedicated to restoring fairness to the Metaverse, today announced the launch of vEmpire: “The Beginning,” a blockchain-based two-player trading card game, that revolves around the expansion of a fictional empire by invading “decentraland,” a part of the metaverse and a tug-of-war for power between Romulus and Remus, two sons of a former emperor, staunch enemies of each other.

Romulus is a strong leader, who wins hearts with responsibility and promises of power and wealth. In contrast, Remus is sly and conniving, using underhand tactics to gain an advantage in a battle. While not as popular as Romulus, Remus cannot be bested easily in the long run.

Players get to choose which faction that they would like to play as. They will then be automatically matched up with an opponent taking the opposite side. Each faction has up to 40 faction-specific cards, as well as 12 universal cards that belong to both factions. When preparing for battle, players must choose 25 cards from their deck, which will make up their “Legion”.

“Each brother has at his disposal an army, with troops who have unique abilities. Players can choose their soldiers for different scenarios to counter any advantage their opponent might have. Players can either take an “all-out” attack approach, and throw their strongest troops at their opponent to win through brute force, or use tactics to outplay opponents by strategically removing their key players and increasing the number of cards in hand,” Dom Ryder, Founder of vEmpire said.

“Players are required to choose a faction and back a brother to the end, seeing him to his rightful place as the new Emperor. Players have to invest their time and resources to train their army into an unstoppable force, to conquer the Metaverse.”

Each player is randomly assigned a hand of 15 cards from their Legion. The remaining cards go into their “Battle Deck”. Although players' hands are dealt only 15 cards, some cards have abilities that enable players to dip into their Battle Deck, and access cards that they may not have been assigned in their original hand.

A virtual coin is flipped at the start of the game and the winner of the coin toss gets to play the first card. Players then take turns to play their cards until either both players decide to end the round or run out of cards.

Although the objective is to win rounds, there are a total of three rounds to play. This means that players will need to keep cards in reserve for later rounds. If a player runs out of cards before the game finishes, they will forfeit the following rounds. At the end of each round, all cards on the battlefield are sent to each player's respective discard pile and the following rounds are played with the cards remaining in the player's hand.

For holders of any of the Founding Soldiers NFTs, when choosing their Legion, if a card is picked for which they own the NFT for, they will be able to take the NFT and visually replace the generic card in play. While owning the NFT of a respective card will provide in-game boosts, the significance of the boost will not be overpowered and strategy will still primarily dictate the winner. In-game boosts simply give players an edge in battle.

Players are encouraged to have a powerful computer and graphics card to enjoy the games' fullest potential. The game is not currently operational on Macbooks. For more information and to download the game, visit: https://www.sandbox.game/en/create/game-maker/.

Metaplace revenue model 

Metaplace generates revenue by charging a commission transaction fee of 0.5 to 1% on each transaction. The sale of utility tokens is another method of generating revenue. The utility token sale function is based on constant intertemporal utility and positive marginal utility. The fee model, on the other hand, includes the function 0e-δτ X (ƒ+κτ)dt Where the fee charged К should be less than or equal to F-ƒ. The fee functions like a tax that increases the price consumers pay and decreases the equilibrium quantity to qdX(ƒ+КƮ). And δ is the interest rate, d is the subscript of the inverse demand function.

Mission and vision 

Metaplace aims to elevate traditional ecommerce through revolutionizing the e-marketplace by bringing similar features to a decentralized blockchain structure. Metaplace also adds other crypto features that include staking and metaverse to enhance user experience. Our mission is to create a decentralized marketplace for the future. A one stop shop for all goods and services ranging from crypto assets to real estate. Our users will be able to find anything and everything here. Our community standards will be mentioned on the platform, and regularly checked based on user engagements. We aim and hope to provide a safe community with extraordinary services
