  • RatanCoin, the Revolutionary Multi-Utility Token

    How RatanCoin is changing the future of Utility-Tokens

    India, December 04: As the world continues to form its divided opinions around cryptocurrencies, there are other use cases built on blockchain technologies such as Utility-Tokens. The good thing about utility tokens is that they are going to be unaffected by the regulations suggested by any government across the world and can give equally great returns to investors as more and more circulation happens. This makes utility tokens a more rewarding and safer investment when it comes to leveraging the blockchain.

    One of such high potential utility-tokens is RatanCoin, which was conceptualised with the vision to enhance the trust of people in the upcoming technologies. RatanCoin is the world’s first asset value validation coin which helps in evaluating and providing complete transparency in terms of the ownership and the fair market value of all your digital assets. It is built on Polygon Chain and is inspired by the Sanskrit word ‘Ratna’ which means ‘a jewel’.

    As seen before, people buy stuff for a few dollars and sell it for exorbitant amounts. There also have been people who have been scamming people and conducting rug-pulls very frequently. RatanCoin was launched to prevent such things and build a more inclusive ecosystem by including the real value of the asset and details regarding the previous purchase and sale of the digital asset.

    To accelerate the acceptability of RatanCoin, the creators are launching their own projects in Ratan Network which will operate in domains of NFTs, Gaming, Digital Asset Marketplace and Trading Platforms. They are also in talks with private investors to raise funds to build these so that they can have a very solid foundation.

    RatanCoin’s positive presence in the industry aims to create a more personal link between technology and users. They already have an active community on Twitter, Telegram and Facebook, and have already conducted an oversubscribed airdrop round.

    How and Why?

    But how functional is RatanCoin really? RatanCoin as a token is already under development and is being tested through the projects of Ratan Network. They have already released their first project – ‘Ratan of Ages’ which is an NFT collection listed on OpenSea. The next application of RatanCoin will be on Metahics, the digital graphics stock platform which will provide themes and templates for graphic designers which can be purchased through RTN. This will be followed by Flux Games wherein users will be rewarded by RTN for playing games. The development of this is going in full swing, with an estimated release in the first quarter of 2022. Fourthly, they will be having a trading automation tool named ‘God of Trade’ which will be the most advanced tool to validate and check the real value before trading any currency. They even have 4 more projects lined up for the year 2022 to make the journey of RTN holders more rewarding.

    Presale is coming on 07/12/2021

    RatanCoin plans to be the first step in building trust among the users of Ratan Network. And to make it successful, the coin will be launched via pre-sale which is already around the corner, starting from 7th December 2021 and will be live for one week. The total funds raised through the pre-sales shall contribute towards the liquidity of the token with a lock-in period of one year to ensure stability.

    The Future of Ratan Network

    The successful implementation of RatanCoin and its implementation in the first 4 projects are just a start. In the next 3 years, RatanCoin is aiming high and intends to scale up globally, all while creating strong technological developments.

    The roadmap outlined in RatanCoin’s Whitepaper highlights the company’s future plans. After the presale, which is coming soon in December 2021, the next steps include auditing the company’s finances, implementing the token, and listing it on all major price-tracking platforms.

    Once RatanCoin is released, it is expected to reach 10 times its price within the first 24 hours thanks to the 20% liquidity lock. Apart from the financial strategy, on a broader scale, the value of RatanCoin is linked to the success of Ratan Network, the development of the 4 projects, and the initiatives planned for the coming years.

    With RatanCoin in circulation as a token, RatanCoin.com and the other business lines will be ready to be developed and advanced in order to support the global expansion of the company.

    More information about RatanCoin

    RatanCoin is a utility token that aims to revolutionize the blockchain-based assets market. It was founded in India in 2021. Karan Bindal, the CEO, had this vision to create a token that would help people get more trust in technology and prevent people from taking unfair advantage of newcomers or people with lesser knowledge. Starting with the projects of Ratan Network, they plan to integrate it with other providers and platforms in this domain. With a constantly expanding team and clarity of the road ahead, RatanCoin is surely bound to scale enormously ahead.

  • Unleash the Power of Gut-Brain-Axis with Gba Nutraceutical Drops by Vaidyaraj Anil of POOPpeepers.com

    Vaidyaraj Anil and family have a long lineage as traditional family Vaidyas serving the society, since 1905

     

    December 04: Handling stress well is the key in preventing Mental Spectrum Issues like Anxiety and Depression, which in some cases lead to OCD, Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia.

    Vaidyaraj Anil’s POOPpeepers.com offers a gut-based solution, which is 100% natural, safe and evidence-based for stress to Schizophrenia, using the Gut-Brain Axis (GBA) concept.

    POOP Reflects Gut. Gut Reflects Brain. POOP Reflects Brain. Fix POOP to fix Brain. The Bristol Stool Chart defines the various poop types and what is desirable.

    Gut Health is compromised by environmental and lifestyle factors, including food habits. In today’s toxic environment, there is absolutely no escape.

    Indians are fast waking up to the importance of gut health. The West has been on it, for almost 10 years now. Millions of people use specific bacteria-induced Probiotics every day. Vaidyaraj Anil’s innovation over-rides these with ZeroCFU No Bacteria Gba Drops – the safest and most effective option – for anyone with or without a Mental Spectrum Issue.

    The optimally balanced mix of micro-organisms in your gut ( read: large intestine or colon) is required for the body to operate.  You may not realize it, but the gastrointestinal system contains trillions of bacteria, fungi, and even viruses, which are collectively known as the Microbiome. Out of these, 90 % reside in your gut, and hence the Gut Microbiome.

    These serve a variety of vital tasks in the human body and literally define its immunity.

    We came across an eminent personality, Vaidyaraj Anil who Shares with us”A Hunger for Sweets or Sugary foods & all the Good things of Modern Living”.

    He Says, Make you Gut Good, & literally, Blame the Rest on it. Let Your Life Run on a ‘Gut Cruise’ Mode.

    Fiber-rich foods, such as Wheat-based Goods, Cereals, fruits, Green Vegetables, and so on, are good for a Healthy Gut. Every One Knows.

    BUT – Vaidyaraj Anil Says Do Not Bother About Food Choice.

    Fix Your Gut Naturally by using Gba Nutraceutical Drops and then Allow your Gut to make its Choice of Food & its Quantity for you.

    Get On to the ‘Gut Cruise’ Mode. You Would Never Go Wrong. A Good Gut Can Only Do Good for You. The Trillions of Wise Men (Read Bacteria ) Know What is the Best for You.

    We Discovered that Vaidyaraj Anil, who has developed the Banyan Tree Based Gba Nutraceutical Drops, which he says are the World’s Best ZeroCFU ( CFU is Colony Forming Units – Read No Bacteria ) Probiotics for Gut, Says –

    There is no need to Micro-analyze the POOP, to Select & Impose Live bugs onto it, like the West Does, with his Innovation.

    It is All Supposed to Work Holistically, Naturally, and Irrespective of Anything by the Principle of Natural Selection, De-Selection of the Bugs within, all by itself.

    “The ‘Second Brain’ is scientifically shown to be the Gut Microbiome,” he explains. It has been designated as the Newest Human Organ because of its incredible importance in Vital body functions.

    With Respect to Any Disease or Health issue, One Must Research and Study the Gut and the Gut Microbiome Connection, and one shall be Surprised to See the Correlation & Impact of Gut.”

    With His Start-up Venture, Vaidyaraj Anil  attempts to ably Provide a Natural, 100% Herbal & Safe Gut Based Solution to all Mental Spectrum Issues including Stress, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, OCD , BiPolar to Schizophrenia and Psychosis, using the Gut Brain Axis ( GBA) Concept.

    Since 1905, Vaidyaraj Anil and family have been serving society, as Traditional Family Vaidyas.

    “You are the Result of Millions of Our Prayers to God for Help.” – Such Compliments from Parents of Schizophrenic 19 to 22 years young sons and daughters, is what makes our day & our life, says Vaidyaraj Anil.

  • Thermo Fisher Scientific’s TaqPath COVID-19 Tests can detect the presence of the Omicron variant in SARS-CoV-2 samples

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 01: Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, confirmed that its TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit*, and TaqPath COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit can accurately detect the presence of the new Omicron variant in SARS-CoV-2 samples. The test works on the primer-probe detection method and is not impacted by the emerging B.1.1.529 or Omicron variant.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) classified the Omicron variant as a SARS-CoV-2 “variant of concern” with more than 30 mutations in the spike protein alone. This variant has caused renewed restriction across countries and research to examine the variant’s impact on the efficacy of existing vaccines and tests.

    The TaqPath COVID-19 assays detect SARS-CoV-2 infections by identifying the presence of three gene targets from the orf1a/b, S, and N regions of the virus. While the S gene target in the test is impacted in the presence of Omicron variant mutations, the orf1a/b and N gene targets in the TaqPath COVID-19 tests have been determined to not be impacted by any of the mutations.

    “Thermo Fisher is committed to supporting the world’s pandemic response by developing innovative, adaptive and resilient testing solutions. Our TaqPath Assays are developed with additional built-in checks to ensure that clinicians, researchers and public health officials have access to effective tools to accurately detect mutations as the virus continues to evolve,” said Amit Chopra, managing director India and South Asia, Thermo Fisher Scientific.

    The Omicron variant has been found to include the 69-70del mutation of the S gene, first identified as a mutation in the Alpha variant. This mutation causes a dropout of the S-gene target in results from the TaqPath test, which could indicate to clinicians and researchers a possible Omicron variant infection. Confirmation must then be performed by sequencing the sample.
