We are looking forward to further enhancing ACF and helping to contribute to the advancement of the sector's capabilities."
Kwan continues; "The recent COP26 meetings highlighted a global effort to address this crisis - international collaboration and partnerships are critical to establish plans, and to take action against the consequences of climate change. Not least the Singapore government demonstrating the urgency to tackle Singapore's climate strategy in global warming and rising sea-levels."
The previous organizers MGV will continue to work on the event as consultants to MMI Asia, to ensure a smooth transition and consistency for the show and its stakeholders.
Tony Stephenson of MGV, and former Event Director of ACF, says: "There is clearly a need for a strong regional meteorology, flood and air quality show in Southeast Asia, and it's now time for us to pass the baton to a major organiser such as MMI with the resources to continue developing the event. We're sure that the new ownership will be highly positive for the long-term future of ACF, and we're grateful to all the loyal supporters, sponsors and exhibitors who have been with us for the past eight years; we look forward to continuing to work with them as well as MMI in future."

DarkShield Games Pioneering the Play to Earn Market
The studio launched a variety of 2D and 3D RPG games with great success in the past. Now, the team has their eyes set on a bigger goal, bringing the play-to-earn gaming model to the market. The play-to-earn concept is simple. Players have the chance to earn rewards that can be converted to real-world assets. This business model incentivizes users to play more and unlocks all the effort, funding, and time put into gaming titles.
GameFi
GameFi is the merger of gaming and finance. In the past, this merger consisted of MMRPG's (massive multiplayer role-playing games) originally as many now have working economies. These games have long offered fiat auction houses to let players unlock value. However, these centralized systems were slow and the players had no real way to verify the scarcity of the items they were purchasing.
The randomness of some NFT-based games can make it difficult to predict your income. Since NFTs are unique digital assets, their value is determined slightly differently than normal cryptocurrencies.
Rather than reviewing the assets market cap, NFT's value comes from their capabilities, scarcity, and their personal connection with the collector. The more you play and the better your chances of securing major wins.
What Makes DarkShield Different
DarkShield is different than other gaming studios in a couple of days. For one, the studio only works with play to earn blockchain games. As such, the developers can direct 100% of their focus on making these titles as fun and profitable as possible. Additionally, DarkShield operates on a multi-chain infrastructure which helps to reduce the cost of playing and opens up the ecosystem for more players.
DarkShield leverages the power of the Binance Smart Chain. The BSC is a fourth-generation blockchain that supports full DeFi capabilities including staking, farming, and lending. This multi-purpose digital asset can be used to send value, pay fees, staking, and as an in-game currency across multiple titles.
The DarkShield Marketplace
Users can collect valuable in-game assets in the form of cryptocurrencies and NFTs when they play DarkShield games. Once you have some treasure, you can head over to the marketplace to convert your winnings into other popular cryptocurrencies or digital assets. The DarkShield marketplace operates as a non-custodial peer-to-peer market for all digital assets acquired within the studio's titles.
DarkShield Studios believes that blockchain gaming can be so much more. The team wants to bring AAA-level quality gaming to the sector with cross-chain capabilities. Users will be able to sell and trade valuable NFTs they earned through gameplay. Additionally, the system will support NFT lending.
P2P Lending
Peer-to-peer lending systems leverage large smart contracts called lending pools to provide a more democratic and open process. Unlike your local bank branch, there are no gatekeepers on these loans. Your approval is strictly based on your collateral. As such, it's a more transparent and just process that doesn't require you to jump through unnecessary hoops to access funding.
About DarkShield
DarkShield has the business model and technology to provide users with a more robust and fruitful experience. The developers have been hard at work researching the best features to add to their titles. Now they are ready to begin releasing these next-gen titles to the public. For now, the group has just released a working demo of their first game, Zygut. Like all DarkShield games, you can earn some serious cryptocurrency playing and having fun.

HOWLX Launches With Gaming Profits Generating Mechanisms
The game completed its presale that took place on 2nd December. The fundraising event occurred through a whitelist, where only early listed members received tokens. As of now, you can purchase the token on PancakeSwap.
Rising Above Top-Grossing Games
The two games in development by the HOWLX are HOWLX 5V5 and HOWLX (SHIBA UNLEASHED). HOWLX created the games with characters representing the "Heroes of DEFI." The tokens described are DogeCoin, Shiba Inu, Akita Inu, and Saitama Inu.
The concept behind the two games on the HOWLX platform is to create engaging, exciting, and entertaining games. Furthermore, due to the brutality in both games, the project is seeking a PEGI16 rating.
HOWLX Games aims to be the first crypto-community-created gaming project like Call of Duty and Fortnite.
The HOWLX Metaverse
In addition to the games, the initiative is creating its Metaverse. The project's objective is not simply to construct another want to be Metaverse where individuals may build or do anything they want without making a beneficial contribution to the actual world. Their objective is to create a Metaverse that tackles real-world issues and, eventually, improves people's lives.
They created five similar islands with the same plan and structure in response. The reason for this is to ensure that all landowners receive equal treatment. Every island has a town center with a specific focus. The town center operates so that it centers on sports. HOWLX will essentially enable the island to engage with industry-leading organizations such as the NFL, NBA, FIFA, and others to create value and address real-world problems.
You can finally build anything you want on the land. HOWLX has the ambition to make the metaverse plug and play. This move allows anyone to design structures without any coding or experience easily.
Profit-Sharing and Earning on the Platform
The game, as mentioned, will share profits with investors via the ecosystem, for both games, through the staking platform. The platform is still in the works as a web-based application that will be mobile responsive and connected with blockchain technology. Notably, the amount of incentive you receive is related to the number of tokens you hold.
You can also earn BNB reflections just by holding the HOWLX token.
What is Next for HOWLX?
So far, according to their roadmap, the project has produced the fightpaper and conducted the private sale. The next thing you should be looking out for in 2021 is the presale listings on both CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap. Furthermore, HOWLX will reveal the characters over this time.
For 2022, the platform will reveal the Game 2 beta and the reward platform. HOWLX will also launch the metaverse and movie update during this phase. Other notable developments are the Certix audit and NFT sale.
About HOWLX
The HOWLX gaming project is a new venture that includes two free-to-play + pay-to-play games with a profit-sharing model. Also, it has a Metaverse with integrated cross-chain NFT interoperability. It also features a limited series comic book (NFT), a staking platform, and a 2d/3d Cartoon animation series (to be featured on Netflix).

3air Ready to Solve Telecommunications Problems in Africa with Upcoming Public Sale
3air will kick off its public sale on November 26, as seen on the presale page.
3air Token Public Sale Details
The platform is building its upcoming public sale on the successful private sale rounds, which saw numerous participants joining. Currently, users register for the public sale and are awaiting Know Your Customer (KYC) and AML verifications.
The platform will sell the token at $0.06 at the public sale, which will offer the initial and final supply of tokens in presale rounds. To enter, you will need a minimum ticket of $600, while the maximum investment opportunity stands at $49,800.
The team securely developed the token on Cardano, utilizing the blockchain's IOHK Atala Prism Identity Management solution.
The platform will dedicate 20% of the 1 billion maximum token supply to the public sale. This allocation differs from the seed sale and private rounds, which represented 1% and 11% of total supply, respectively.
3air provides a detailed breakdown of its token sales. Also, the company believes that the disclosure of the token's distribution is crucial to prevent future supply changes.
The platform reassures its user base that all token distributions run on smart contracts. Therefore, you will receive your tokens once the sale closes automatically through an app on your ADA wallet.
Unfortunately, some countries will not be able to participate in token sales. The US, North Korea, Zambia, Central African Republic, British Virgin Islands, China, Venezuela, Iran and Iraq.
Tapping into Untapped African Markets
Investors have long recognized the African continent as a region full of potential and talent. However, the current lack of broadband internet and its supporting infrastructure causes a digital divide that slows down economic growth.
African cities can grow faster and thrive with more reliable internet connectivity. However, building telecommunication lines and burying fiber network cables requires substantial investments in infrastructure. Currently, internet providers focus primarily on business districts only, and Internet connections are limited and unreliable. A report by the World Bank estimates that it would take over $100 billion of investment and 10 years to achieve widespread broadband connectivity using traditional means.
3air recognizes this need for high speed internet and aims to close the digital divide faster and at lower costs. In a simulation of market potential using Nigeria as an example, 3air estimates that the value of the Nigerian markets' untapped annual revenue for Internet services is worth $60 billion. Establishing more affordable and faster internet connectivity would therefore not only benefit local populations, but token holders as well.
3air uses all these factors as motivation to provide broad premium bandwidth in African cities to previously underserved areas. In this regard, the platform relies on a talented and experienced team of specialists in IT, blockchain, marketing, and telecommunication.
Blockchain technology is leveraged by 3air to provide a trustless, decentralized environment that maintains security and user data protection. Users will be able to create digital identities, enabling access to bankless payments, health, work and education. Internet, TV and IP Telephony subscriptions will be paid for using the 3air token. The token will also be used for bandwidth sharing, HW insurance and maintenance, rewards, referrals, staking and community governance.
Fruitful Partnerships
Besides developing on Cardano, 3air is acquiring more partnerships to drive its vision to completion. One of these strategic collaborations is with the telecom service provider K3 Telecom. The Swiss company's patented technology will develop the broadband connection for 3air using innovative wireless technology that is able to set up high speed internet connectivity in a new region in a matter of months.
Its optic grade air connectivity can provide 1Gbps internet speed and over 150 television channels. The technology, K3 last mile, is ready for the world, utilizing innovative technology, a functional business plan, and a successful proof of concept in Sierra Leone. Other 3air partnerships include collaborations with IT TIM, CV Labs Global, and iceaddis.
These business and technological joint efforts show 3air's commitment to providing Africa with better internet connectivity. Thanks to its innovative projects and ideas, individuals and businesses in African cities will finally upgrade to fast and cost-effective internet services.
