Dubai, UAE / December 2, 2021 / SEAPRWire / – The Axltoken pre-sale is finally going live soon. At the pre-sale, participants will get the chance to secure $AXL tokens. Whatever they will purchase during the pre-sale can only be accessed at the end of the sale. The pre-sale will happen in two phases. The first phase will be hosted on Gate.io as a public sale, while the second phase will be hosted on BSCPad and ETHPad as a private sale. Axl token is the native currency of the AXL project. Axl is a decentralized exchange based on a smart chain routing that supports both the Ethereum chain and the Binance smart chain. Users who have digital assets on either platform can make their trades without switching from one platform to the other. This helps in reducing operational costs. Users also have the option to switch from one blockchain to another. The exchange will support Liquidity Providing, Yield Farming, Staking, Launching IDO, NFT, and Lending & borrowing. Even though the $Axl will be the native token of the platform, the $Axls will be used as a reward token of the system. The AXL tokens can be used for trading on the AXL DEX. Since cross-chain interoperability is allowed, they can use the tokens on either blockchain. Through the AXL platform, users can access the NFT platform for a chance to mint their NFT or get an opportunity to buy their favorite NFT. The ecosystem features up to 10,000 unique collectible characters that AXL Inu inspires. They contain 20 ELONs and 80 zombies. AXL will provide liquidity to market makers. That means that when market makers give assets to the platform, they get a reward in return which will be in the form of AXL tokens. Most of the time, market makers make an income from the trading fees. Yield farming is an income-generating activity for platform users. One can lock up their assets in a liquidity pool for a certain period in yield farming using smart contracts. They can then get a share of the yield, a portion of the transaction fees, or interest from lenders or governance tokens. The platform has a staking option where AXL holders can stake the tokens in the staking pools and get rewards and transaction fees. When the pre-sale is over, four staking pools will be available, which will be distributed fairly between the Ethereum chain and the Binance Smart chain. Users will either stake AXL and get it as a reward or stake AXL UniSwap LP tokens or Pancake Swap LP tokens in return for AXL tokens. The decentralized exchange option is not an ordinary one as there is a DEX aggregator that will help one get the best prices for their trades. When a trader places a transaction, it is split across several DEXes and the liquidity pool to ensure the trader gets the best deal. Since the system is decentralized, there are fewer intermediaries, and hence users will enjoy speed, automation, and security. Connecting lenders and borrowers will be seamless, which helps in earning rewards. Through the platform’s IDO launchpad, AXL pad, different crypto projects will launch an IDO and distribute tokens. The various projects will have to access AXL tokens as it is the native currency of the ecosystem. Users can buy $AXL at a fixed rate of 0.00075 USD per 1 $AXL during the pre-sale. The Pre-Sale will only support ETH and BNB. All $AXL purchased can be accessed at the end of the pre-sale. The token has a total supply of 100B, and only 25% of it will be available during the pre-sale. To participate in the pre-sale, one has to decide on their preferred network, either ETH or BSC. They will then need a MetaMask wallet and send their ETH or BNB in it. They can then swap their ETH or BNB for the AXL token. About AXL Axl is a Decentralized exchange located on ETH Chain (ETH) and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) with an ecosystem that features: Liquidity Providing pool, Yield Farming program, a Staking program, Launching IDO, NFT Minting, and Lending & borrowing platform.

SINGAPORE - A three-year-old girl required stitches on her face after she was attacked by a pet peacock in Serangoon on Sunday (Nov 28).

SINGAPORE - There will be more entry restrictions at pre-schools and early intervention centres from Saturday (May 8), including a ban on all parents except those with newly enrolled children. Mixing of children between different classes will also not be allowed, while field trips and other large group activities conducted outside centres will be suspended. These are part of efforts to tighten Covid-19 measures at centres, in line with the national effort to slow viral transmission, said the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) on Wednesday. However, children under seven will not be required to use the TraceTogether application from May 17 - the date the usage of the contact-tracing system becomes compulsory at venues. The rules will be implemented together with the current set of Covid-19 rules in place at pre-schools, including more cleaning, temperature and health checks up to three times a day, and cohorting in centres. From Saturday to May 30, only people who are needed to support operations within centres, those performing necessary functions such as licensing, and parents accompanying newly enrolled children will be allowed into centres. All other parents will not be allowed in. Pre-schools and early intervention centres are advised to conduct parent-teacher conferences online, and conduct virtual tours for prospective students, said ECDA. Contractors providing supplementary programmes such as enrichment will only be allowed to serve up to four pre-schools during this period, to reduce the risk of transmission between centres. However, an exception will be made for providers of the Development Support-Learning Support programme and Development Support Plus programme. The agency also said that children will only be allowed to participate in activities within their own class and in small groups, as part of measures to tighten the movement of staff and children. The centres will conduct these sessions for groups of five children, down from eight - in line with national guidelines. It added that outdoor activities during this period may continue, in these smaller groups. However, large-scale outdoor activities such as learning journeys and field trips will have to be postponed for now.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Australian golfer Adam Scott has withdrawn his name from consideration for a berth at the Tokyo Olympics, joining top-ranked Dustin Johnson in opting out, according to the Golf Channel. Johan Elliot, Scott's manager, told the network that the timing of the July 29-Aug 1 tournament in Japan doesn't fit into the Aussie's schedule. Scott, ranked 35th, also opted not to compete at the 2016 Rio Olympics, citing the Zika virus outbreak as well as scheduling issues. "With the world being the way it is, Adam is gone four to five weeks at a time this year during his playing blocks," Elliot told the Golf Channel in a statement. "With three young children at home, this time in the schedule will be devoted to family. It is pretty much the only time up until October when he has a chance to see them for a stretch of time and not only a few days a week." The Olympic event at Kasumigaseki Country Club is set to be played two weeks after the British Open and a week before a WGC event in Memphis, Tennessee, ahead of the US PGA playoffs. Johnson opted out of competing for the US Olympic squad last month, citing scheduling and travel issues. Australia's two top-ranked players would be in position to compete in Japan. Those currently are 25th-ranked Cameron Smith and 37th-ranked Marc Leishman with Matt Jones next at 53rd.

BUCHAREST (AFP) - Olivier Giroud’s magnificent bicycle kick broke Atletico Madrid’s resistance and earned Chelsea a crucial away goal on Tuesday (Feb 23), a 1-0 victory giving Thomas Tuchel’s side a slender advantage in the Champions League last 16. Giroud’s acrobatic strike was initially ruled out for offside but stood after VAR showed Mario Hermoso had got the final touch, delivering a huge blow to Atletico’s hopes of reaching the quarter-finals. Diego Simeone’s side had put on a typically disciplined defensive performance until that point but Giroud’s moment of genius means they will have to score in London on March 17 if they are to avoid an early exit. Chelsea, meanwhile, passed their biggest test since Tuchel was appointed at the end of January, backing up a strong run against lesser lights in the Premier League with a polished display against one of Europe’s elite. Giroud’s goal in the 68th minute was only the third Atletico have conceded in 14 home legs of the Champions League knockout stages under Simeone, even if this fixture was at home only in name. Restrictions imposed by the Spanish government meant the game had to be played in Bucharest instead of Madrid, despite the return match remaining at Stamford Bridge in three weeks’ time. Tuchel admitted the switch gave his side an advantage but Simeone refused to complain on Monday, insisting he felt fortunate to play during the pandemic, “however and wherever that might be”. Their defeat makes it three home losses out of three for Spain’s teams in the Champions League last 16 so far, after Barcelona were thrashed by Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla were beaten by Borussia Dortmund last week. Hudson-Odoi gets another chance Callum Hudson-Odoi started for Chelsea, despite Tuchel criticising the 20-year-old’s attitude against Southampton on Saturday. Atletico started with Suarez, Joao Felix and Angel Correa but an attacking line-up took up a typically defensive shape, a six-man wall quickly forming in front of Chelsea in the opening stages. The first half was tight, each side able only to create openings but failing to find the pass to make a chance. Edouard Mendy’s heavy touch in the opening minutes almost gave the chasing Saul Niguez a tap-in while Timo Werner’s angled shot was saved by Jan Oblak and Suarez miskicked at the near post. Chelsea looked most dangerous down the flanks, where Marcos Alonso and Hudson-Odoi pushed Atletico back. Atletico had space on the break but lacked the precision to capitalise. Felix sprung into life early in the second half, feeding Thomas Lemar and then meeting the Frenchman’s cross with an acrobatic volley that flew over. The game looked destined to finish goalless only for Atletico to briefly lose shape, allowing the instinctive Giroud to take advantage. Alonso had raced away from Marcos Llorente down the left and his cross was diverted backwards to Giroud, who brilliantly bicycle-kicked into the corner, but looked offside, only for the replay to show it was Atletico’s Hermoso who had given him the assist. The goal stood and Chelsea’s players celebrated, seemingly as surprised as anyone and delighted with a precious advantage.
Online marketplaces such as Carousell are the go-to platforms for many Singaporeans to buy anything from beauty products to electronic gadgets. And now, they are also a virtual shop space to purchase bookings at public sports facilities such as badminton courts. The issue of third parties reselling badminton court bookings was first reported by The Straits Times on Jan 24. Social players had voiced their anger and frustration at being unable to book the courts at ActiveSG's sports halls and the OCBC Arena at the Singapore Sports Hub, only to see the slots being resold for a profit on various platforms such as Carousell, Meetup, Facebook and Telegram.

BRIGHTON (AFP) - Leandro Trossard rocked Tottenham's top four challenge as the Brighton forward sealed a shock 1-0 win for the Premier League strugglers on Sunday (Jan 31). Jose Mourinho's side were hoping to get back on track after losing to Liverpool on Thursday, but instead they suffered a damaging second successive defeat. Trossard netted in the first half at the Amex Stadium and, with Tottenham's Harry Kane sidelined by injury, the visitors lacked the quality to salvage an equaliser. Tottenham are languishing in sixth place, with just two wins in their last nine top-flight matches. They trail six points behind fourth placed Leicester, albeit with a game in hand, after only their second defeat in 10 away league games this season. The title bid that looked possible for Tottenham in December is fading fast as leaders Manchester City are now 11 points clear of the north Londoners. A victory against seventh-placed Chelsea on Thursday is essential to halt Tottenham's sudden decline away from the Champions League places. Fourth-bottom Brighton moved seven points clear of the relegation zone after extending their unbeaten league run to three matches. The Seagulls were the only team in the top four divisions in England without a home league victory this season, but they finally ended that dismal sequence at the 11th attempt. Spluttering Spurs Gareth Bale was handed only his second league start since returning for his second spell at Tottenham. The on-loan Real Madrid forward replaced Kane, who suffered his latest in a long list of ankle problems against Liverpool, but once again he failed to impress. Brighton nearly made the perfect start when Pascal Gross hit the outside of the post after good work from Alexis Mac Allister. Mac Allister fired over from long range soon after as Brighton's vibrant start pushed Tottenham onto the back foot. The hosts deservedly took the lead with a flowing move in the 17th minute. Mac Allister picked out Gross and his cut back found Trossard for a clinical close-range finish.

Bale was subdued in attack but the Wales star came in useful at the other end when he nodded clear just as Lewis Dunk's header was flying towards the top corner. Mourinho sent on Carlos Vinicius in place of centre-back Davinson Sanchez at half-time. The on-loan Benfica striker made an immediate impact with a towering leap to meet Bale's corner with a header that was blocked by Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez. Tottenham still couldn't find their rhythm and, after Hugo Lloris saved well from Ben White's deflected effort, Mourinho hauled off the disappointing Bale and introduced Lucas Moura. It made no difference and Brighton could have doubled their lead when Mac Allister shot into the side-netting from a tight angle before Neal Maupay headed wide from Solly March's cross. Vinicius offered a glimmer of hope with a powerful effort from the edge of the area that Sanchez pushed away, but it was too little too late for spluttering Tottenham.

VALENCIA (REUTERS) - Valencia forward Carlos Soler scored a hat-trick of penalties as his side beat La Liga champions Real Madrid 4-1 at home in an extraordinary match on Sunday (Nov 8). Karim Benzema put Madrid ahead with a scorching strike from outside the area only for Valencia to pull level eventually with the first of Soler's three penalties after a most unusual turn of events. Soler saw his spot-kick saved by Thibaut Courtois and then hit the post on the rebound, while team mate Yunus Musah netted the loose ball, only to see the goal ruled out after a VAR review showed him encroaching in the area. A re-take was ordered and Soler made no mistake at the second attempt. Valencia took the lead before halftime through a freak own goal from Raphael Varane, who unwittingly sent the ball flying over his head and just over the line, the goal being awarded several minutes later following another VAR review. Valencia's teenage forward Lee Kang-in almost struck a third early in the second period but Courtois turned his shot onto the post. The home side kept up the momentum though and won two further penalties, for a foul by Marcelo on Maxi Gomez then a handball by Sergio Ramos. Soler converted each time, becoming only the third player in the history of La Liga to score three penalties in a single match.
