AscendEX Lists Battle of Guardians Token, BGS

International, Jan. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AscendEX is thrilled to announce the listing of the Battle of Guardians Share Token (BGS) under the trading pair BGS/USDT starting on January 14th at 2 p.m. UTC.

Battle of Guardians (BOG) is a real-time, multiplayer NFT fighting game that allows players to utilize their NFT assets as fighting avatars in an all-out battle of skills, where heightened skill is recognized with in-game rewards. Developed in Unreal Engine and built atop the Solana Network, BOG was designed with multiplayer capabilities that allow global players to engage in fierce, multi-realm battles in the expansive Sci-Fi game ecosystem. The project currently offers a selection of 30 unique NFTs and is equipped with an NFT Synthesis feature that allows players to upgrade the tier of their fighting avatars. BOG is being developed for PC-based gaming, with iOS and Android cross-platform multiplayer features becoming available in the future.

Recently, the play-to-earn model has become the standard for new-to-market, blockchain-based gaming ecosystems. The convergence of gaming and finance through NFTs has become an exciting and interactive way for players of games, and owners of NFTs, to earn real-world rewards. BOG aims to emphasize the “play” aspect of the play-to-earn movement by offering multiple modes of play. In BOG gameplay, players can battle in Player vs. Environment (PvE), Player vs. Player (PvP), or Tournament modes, using their collection of NFT avatars. With a tiered system of playable NFTs, a variety of gaming modes, and a rewards model in place, BOG will become the go-to platform for players to test their skills and agility while earning rewards in-game.

A unique feature of BOG’s NFT structure is the ability for players to rent NFTs, which adds yet another revenue stream for players looking to leverage the BOG ecosystem. Owners of specific NFTs can rent their assets out to players who are eager to play the game, but do not yet want to commit to purchasing their own asset. By implementing this mechanism, both established players and inquisitive newcomers can earn increased in-game rewards, maximizing the utility of the NFTs featured in the BOG game.

To further incentivize players for continued gameplay and reward players for remarkable in-game achievements, Battle of Guardians will feature two tokens: the Battle of Guardians Share token (BGS) and the Fighting Points token (FP). Both tokens will be utilized within the game’s various modes for purchasing NFT characters and in-game assets, whereas BGS can uniquely be leveraged as a governance token to contribute to the development of the game. Players will also have the ability to stake their BGS tokens to generate additional yield and further their involvement in the BOG ecosystem.

AscendEX is excited to debut the trading of the BGS token and support the growth of the play-to-earn GameFi Ecosystem.

Petróleos Internacionales del Caribe and SeaOne Holdings Announce Agreement for CGL Technology Licensing MOU

HOUSTON, Jan. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Petróleos Internacionales del Caribe (“PIC”) and its operating division in Mexico Petróleos Internacionales del Caribe Inc., Surcusal México (“PICMEX”) and SeaOne Holdings, LLC (SeaOne™) jointly announced today their agreement to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) in principle granting PIC an exclusive license to commercialize SeaOne’s patented Compressed Gas Liquids (CGL™) technology, systems and designs throughout the Americas’ and its 300 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone (“EEZ”).   PIC’s first use of the license will be fuels supply, terminals, infrastructure, and power projects in México.

Since 2017 PIC evaluated advanced solvation and storage technologies and delivery systems pioneered by SeaOne which meet the ever-changing gas market conditions. PIC’s due diligence process placed a strong emphasis on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) aspects in addition to total cost. After careful research carried out with SeaOne, PIC selected the CGL technology as the optimal means of delivering natural gas from the United States to its projects in México.

SeaOne’s patented CGL technology is a revolutionary means of transporting and delivering natural gas and natural gas liquids in one liquid gas cargo at moderate, non-cryogenic temperatures. As CGL is stored at a modest pressure and temperature, the boiloff and venting issues associated with Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) does not occur in the CGL containment system while in transit or in storage. Thus, the carbon footprint of the entire value chain from solvation through delivery to the customer is minimized compared to other methods of transporting and delivery of natural gas.

The SeaOne intellectual property covered by the license is supported by 9 core U.S. patents, with supporting engineering and designs. The core CGL patents are the basis of 84 international patents, and 72 global trademarks that cover the composition of CGL (natural gas and natural gas liquids in a solvated solution) and methods for producing, storage, loading and unloading cargo containment systems in the CGLC, and associated onshore and offshore production and receiving terminals. The patents, designs and systems also include various transportation solutions that have been developed by SeaOne.

“The PIC-SeaOne partnership is a powerful combination to supply fuel for our power plants and our customers in Mexico and throughout The Americas,” said Michael Hood, Chairman and CEO of PIC. “Together, utilizing SeaOne’s proprietary systems, PIC will execute industry leading technology solutions to help address the fuel supply and electricity needs of Mexico’s citizens, businesses, and government.” SeaOne’s technical solutions are robust and cutting edge like no other, and will exceed the single most important part of our future “Emissions and Reductions”, of carbon footprints throughout the globe.

“We are very enthusiastic about partnering with PIC,” SeaOne’s Chairman and CEO, Forrest Hoglund, said. “CGL increases access to affordable, lower emission fuels. These projects will provide Mexico, and other countries in Central and South America, and the Americas with affordable fuels and power, as well as significant carbon emissions reductions, a key component in achieving sustainability and balanced ESG goals.”

Petróleos Internacionales del Caribe and SeaOne Holdings to Nominate Shipbuilder for CGL Carriers

HOUSTON, Jan. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Petróleos Internacionales del Caribe (“PIC”) and its operating division in Mexico Petróleos Internacionales del Caribe Inc., Sucursal Mexico (“PICMEX”) and SeaOne Holdings, LLC (SeaOne™) jointly announced today that following PIC’s pre-FEED studies for its projects in México, they will nominate the builder of their required Compressed Gas Liquids Carriers (CGLC) by the end of the third to fourth quarter of 2022. This follows PIC and SeaOne’s Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to enter into an exclusive license agreement for PIC to use SeaOne’s patented Compressed Gas Liquids (CGL™) technology for PIC’s projects in México and throughout the Americas.

PIC will utilize the CGLCs to transport the fuel required by PIC’s combined-cycle power plants in multiple locations in México. The nomination of the shipbuilder will follow an extensive selection process in which shipyards worldwide will be invited to tender. A sizeable fleet of CGLC vessels will be built to transport and deliver natural gas as a liquid gas cargo, Compressed Gas Liquids (CGL™). The shipbuilder to be awarded this contract will enjoy a robust order book for many years.

SeaOne’s patented CGL technology is a revolutionary means of transporting and delivering natural gas and natural gas liquids in one liquid cargo at moderate, non-cryogenic temperatures. As CGL is stored at a modest pressure and temperature, the boiloff, venting and environmental issues associated with Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) does not occur in the CGL containment system while in transit or in storage. Thus, the carbon footprint of the entire value chain from solvation through delivery to the customer is minimized compared to other methods of transporting and delivery of natural gas.

PIC’s natural gas CGL cargoes will be transported and stored within SeaOne’s proprietary containment systems, which is the subject of more than 10 years of development and is fully approved by the American Bureau of Shipping. The Compressed Gas Liquid Carriers (CGLCs) will be classed by the American Bureau of Shipping and fly the flag of The Marshall Islands.

They are designed to meet or exceed the highest international standards for gas carriers and will be among the most technologically advanced ships in the world with a strong emphasis placed on safety and crew comfort. Additionally, during design, particular attention will be made to maximize operating efficiency and minimize emissions of the CGLCs. Each ship will be outfitted to permit a rapid changeover in the type of fuel to be used as technology improvements permit.

“The PIC-SeaOne partnership is a powerful combination to supply fuel for our power plants and our customers in Mexico and throughout The Americas,” said Michael Hood, Chairman and CEO of PIC. “Together, utilizing SeaOne’s proprietary systems, PIC will execute industry leading technology solutions to help address the fuel supply and electricity needs of Mexico’s citizens, businesses, and government.”  SeaOne’s technical solutions are robust and cutting edge like no other, and will exceed the single most important part of our future “Emissions and Reductions” of carbon footprints throughout the globe.

PM applauds home affairs sector’s contributions to building of renovated government

The home affairs sector plays an important role in building a renovated, upright, disciplined and effective government that serves the people, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh affirmed on January 12.

Speaking at an online conference held by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Government leader attributed achievements Vietnam recorded in 2021 to contributions of the sector.

The sector has worked as an advisor of the Government and the PM in building and consolidating institutions, he said, highlighting its consultancy in organising the general elections of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and all-level People’s Councils for the 2021-2026 tenure.

The PM lauded progress in decentralisation, personnel management, administrative reforms and State management in emulation and reward, and religious affairs.

Pointing out limitations like sluggishness in institutional building and those regarding State management, PM Chinh said the sector should set out standards, criteria and procedures to fulfill its tasks, and maximise democracy and collective brainpower.

The immediate task for the sector is continuing to join the COVID-19 combat, socio-economic recovery and development, and social welfare, he said.

The sector and the Ministry of Home Affairs need to play a more active role in institutional building and consolidation to remove barriers to national development, focusing on State management institutions, the PM said.

PM Chinh mentioned other tasks like administrative reforms and Party building and rectification, saying he believed that the sector will make better performance of its political tasks this year.

Additional policies needed for better elderly care: NA Vice Chairman

Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to issue additional policies for better care and protection of Vietnamese senior citizens at the sixth Congress of the Vietnam Association of the Elderly on January 14.

Held both in in-person and virtual forms, the congress gathered over 400 delegates, representing some 9.7 million members of the association nationwide.

In her opening remarks, Chairman of the Vietnam Association of the Elderly’s Central Committee Pham Thi Hai Chuyen said over the last five years, the association has actively engaged in the formation of important legal documents and policies designated for the elderly.

Chief among these are the national action programme on older people for the 2021 – 2030 period and policies on social security and health insurance which have helped enhance elderly care and promote their role in society, she said.

The Vietnamese elderly have also further upheld their role in building the Party and the government, preserving traditional cultural values, safeguarding the country’s sovereignty over land and maritime territories, maintaining social order and security, fighting crimes and corruptions, protecting the environment, and developing new-style rural and civilized urban areas.

NA Vice Chairman Man, for his part, hailed the association for its dedicated commitment in fostering the elderly care and engaging them in socio-economic development and national construction and safeguarding. The association has been functioning well as the voice of the elderly, representing their wishes, legitimate rights and benefits, he said.

The congress elected a 93-member executive committee, with Nguyen Thanh Binh, permanent deputy head of the Party Central Committee’s Organisation Commission, voted as new chairman for the 2021-2026 term.

According to the association, there are some 11.4 million senior citizens at 60 years old and above across Vietnam, accounting for 12 percent of the population. Over 9.7 million among them are members of the association, up 1.1 million from the figure reported at the start of the association’s previous term.

Now, 95 percent of the elderly in Vietnam are health insurance holders. Most hospitals are giving priority in healthcare services for those aged above 80 years old./
