And now, racing ahead, Sunny has gone on to mint her NFTs. Minting is a process through which digital art becomes a part of the Ethereum blockchain - a public ledger that is unchangeable and tamper-proof. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="wazirx" comment="wazirx" text="wazirx">wazirx</cmsannotation> International celebrities such as Ellen Degeneres, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan have previously ventured into NFT as crypto currency has become a global rage and Sunny's minting has surely taken the Indian crypto enthusiasts by storm. The actress announced her first collectible on Twitter as she tweeted, "MEET the MISFTIZ ! This is misfitz HONEY! She loves the color pink...boys with tattoos...and then eats them for lunch. What the world has been waiting for!!! #SUNNYLEONENFT collectibles. Check them all out on http://Sunnyleonenft.com (sic.)" The actress took the lead among Indian actors to secure their digital assets when she broke the news about her association with NFT, two months back. This made her the first Indian actress to roll out her own NFTs. Talking about the collectible, an excited Sunny says, "This was a private sale and it sold out immediately. I am beyond excited about the hype behind my collection and the support from the community. In many ways, I am myself a misfit so there wasn't anything that's more appropriate than this collection." Talking about how she views crypto, the actress said, "I really believe crypto is the future of the world and NFTs give me an opportunity to express myself with art. Now we are beyond excited for the public sale to start in a few days." For her NFTs, Sunny has partnered with Mintdropz, as speaking on her association, she said, "With Mintdropz, we are creating new ways to connect with my audience and deliver varied experiences to engage with my audience that other platforms just can't provide."

The coin is now up 400% from the time Facebook announced it is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-new-name-meta-rebrand-metaverse-zuckerberg-apps-2021-10">changing its name to Meta</a> on Thursday.On Monday, the digital asset was trading 14% higher at $3.21 as of 10:36 a.m. ET. It is currently the 36th largest coin by market valuation, according to CoinMarketCap.<a href="https://play.decentraland.org/">Decentraland</a> is an ethereum-based token that can be used to pay for virtual plots of land. This includes casinos, art galleries, and theme parks. Landowners have complete control over what they can do with their lots and can charge users who visit them, according to its <a href="https://decentraland.org/whitepaper.pdf">white paper</a>.The virtual space within Decentraland is called "land," a non-fungible, scarce digital asset maintained in a smart contract, which is an agreement stored and executed in the blockchain when predetermined conditions are met.Decentraland is not controlled by a centralized organization, its white paper said. The team behind mana started working on it in December 2015 with the goal of providing an infrastructure to support a shared virtual world, also known as a metaverse, its white paper said.The coin's purpose fits with Facebook's <a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2021/10/facebook-company-is-now-meta/">goal</a> "to bring the metaverse to life and help people connect, find communities and grow businesses.""The Facebook announcement created a rush to purchase land parcels in decentraland as a way to get exposure to the metaverse sector," Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com, told Insider. "As demand for this new asset class expands, you will see more demand for digital real estate, thus driving up the value of the currencies used in these metaverses, like mana."

The SQUID crypto coin was trading at $0.003203, reports CoinMarketCap. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="wazirx" comment="wazirx" text="wazirx">wazirx</cmsannotation> The developers behind the crypto project have left the project after the price of its affiliated token crashed to nearly zero. They claimed on its official Telegram channel that its developers do not want to continue running the project due to the stress of dealing with scammers. "Someone is trying to hack our project these days. Not only the twitter account @GoGoSquidGame but also our smart contract. We are trying to protect it but the price is still abnormal. Squid Game Dev does not want to continue running the project as we are depressed from the scammers and are overwhelmed with stress [sic]. We have to remove all the restrictions and the transaction rules of Squid Game. Squid Game will enter a new stage of community autonomy," the developers' Telegram channel wrote.

Called "rug pull" by crypto investors, such digital scamming happens when the creators of the crypto quickly cash out their coins for real money, draining the liquidity pool from the exchange. Launched last week, the Squid Game crypto project gained instant popularity and the token rose by more than 35,000 per cent in just three days - despite several red flags including grammatical and spelling errors in the project's white paper. Its Telegram channel, set up by the unknown scammers, also didn't allow comments from outsiders.

Squid Game cryptocurrency trading at $0, scammers make $2.1 million

IT major Infosys has instrumented a new plan to beat Trump's propaganda, according to news agency PTI. Infosys has been in favour of a healthy mix of local and global personnel even though hiring locals in overseas markets often pushes up operational costs for IT outsourcing companies. With the US mulling over various measures to make visa norms stricter under the <keyword id="6354484" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Donald-Trump">Donald Trump</keyword> administration, Indian IT firms have been contemplating tweaking their business models and accommodating more locals. "We are closely monitoring the overall situation with respect to visa... in the last 24 months, we have focused on increasing our presence in the US with a lot more local hiring," Infosys Chief Operating Officer U B Pravin Rao told investors on a recent conference call. He added that at this stage, Infosys has not seen any "undue things" that will impact the way it does business. "In this year, we will continue that focus. We will accelerate it. We will also start looking at developments and training centres in the US as well," he said. Rao, however, did not talk about the investments Infosys will make on the expansion. The North American markaccounted for over 60 per cent of Infosys' USD 10.2 billion revenue in the 2016-17 fiscal. During his election campaign, US President Trump had promised stricter immigration laws and protection of local jobs. Besides, a legislation (Lofgren Bill) in the US was introduced that proposed doubling of the minimum wages of H-1B visa holders to USD 130,000. Most recently, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had come out with a policy memorandum that potentially makes it difficult for Indian technology professionals to work in the US at entry-level positions. Any change in visa norms can affect the movement of labour as well as spike operational costs for the IT players. Indian firms like <keyword id="6357150" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="TCS">TCS</keyword>, Infosys and <keyword id="10862" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Wipro">Wipro</keyword> that are dependent on visas are now focusing on bringing on board more locals to comply with the norms. Once considered an industry bellwether, Infosys has had its share of challenges over the past few years. Apart from competition from rivals like TCS and <keyword id="28721" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cognizant">Cognizant</keyword>, it is also facing a public spat between founders and the Board over allegations of corporate governance lapses. Under CEO Vishal Sikka, the company has been trying to turn things around. The former <keyword id="6358384" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="SAP">SAP</keyword> executive has set up an ambitious target for Infosys reaching USD 20 billion revenue by 2020 with a strong focus on new technologies like automation and artificial intelligence. While Sikka himself has admitted that the goal is "aspirational", the company has continued to invest in start-ups working on these new-generation technologies. "...our FY17 revenues from new software and software- related services including Mana, Panaya, Skava and Edge grew at more than 42 per cent," Sikka said. He added that the company will report revenues on a quarterly basis from the new software and offerings such as digital, Internet of Things and cybersecurity from this fiscal onwards. The new services are also helping the company generate over USD 125,000 per year in revenue per employee.

Bad day for brain drain in India: Infosys to hire local talents in USA

December is a BIG movie month.
For those heading out to theaters on Christmas, there are eight <keyword id="406" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="Movies">movies</keyword> coming out. Of those, four are big wide releases. 
Not sure what to see? We've broken down which films are worth watching for everyone.
<h2>1. Skip: "<keyword id="1764599" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="47-Ronin">47 Ronin</keyword>"</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image">Universal Pictures</div></div>What it's about: Reeves swings around a sword as a samurai as he leads an army of 47 warriors to avenge the death of their master.
The only reason to see it: Keanu Reeves.
It's the actor's return front and center in a big-budget film for the first time in 10 years.
Why you should pass: 
I love Reeves, but after some thought, I'm not convinced from the trailers this looks like a great film. Maybe it's the monstrous woman turning into a cheesy-looking CGI dragon, maybe it's the fact the film has a tumultuous production story - it's been pushed back <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/47-ronin-first-trailer-2013-7" target="_blank">since Nov. 2012 with a budget estimated at $225 million</a> - either way, both leave me hesitant about the film.
At the least, you should check out the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-47-Ronin-Graphic-Novel/dp/1611801370" target="_blank">graphic novel</a>.
Worth noting: Since his time away on screen - his <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=matrixrevolutions.htm" target="_blank">last</a> <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=somethingsgottagive.htm" target="_blank">big films</a> were in 2003 - Reeves has become Internet famous gaining traction for viral meme <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/keanu-is-sad-sad-keanu" target="_blank">Sad Keanu</a>.
The once-Matrix actor really resonates with fans and no matter how bad this movie may be it may very well end up surprising at the box office despite all the competition.
<h2>2. Run out and see: "<keyword id="1274262" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="The-Wolf-of-Wall-Street">The Wolf of Wall Street</keyword>"</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image">Paramount Pictures and Red Granite Pictures</div></div>
What it's about: Leonardo DiCaprio is back as <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/category/the-great-gatsby" target="_blank">another wealthy socialite</a>, this time as crooked stockbroker Jordan Belfort.
Why this is a must-see: 
Other than the sex, drugs, and over-the-top wild parties on screen?
1. This "Anything for the Oscar" GIF of Leonardo DiCaprio
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=cz_J-DKNHMo">Paramount Pictures</a></div></div></div>
This is DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese's fifth time working together on a film. Despite DiCaprio's <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000138/awards?ref_=nm_awd" target="_blank">two Oscar nominations for Best Actor</a>, he has yet to win an Academy Award.
2. Early <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/wolf-wall-street-martin-scorsese-leonardo-dicaprio-oscar-race-screening-reactions" target="_blank">viewers</a>, including one from our <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-wolf-of-wall-street-movie-preview-2013-12" target="_blank">video editor Justin Maiman</a>, are raving about the performances.
3. If that isn't enough, our own Linette Lopez got her hands on the script for the film last year and picked out the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/15-wolf-of-wall-street-scenes-2013-6" target="_blank">15 scenes she can't wait to see</a>.
Why you should pass: That sounds like the wrong move here.
<h2>3. Overrated: "Grudge Match"</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://grudgematchmovie.com">Warner Bros. Pictures</a></div></div>What it's about: Robert DeNiro and Sylvester Stallone are returning to the boxing ring to go a few rounds for the title of top boxer.
Why to watch: The addition of Kevin Hart for comic relief may be the only saving grace to an otherwise campy film that seems outdated and unnecessary. 
Why to pass: Do you really want to watch "Rocky" vs. "Raging Bull"? I'm not sure how many crowds of audiences have been saying they want to see such this "epic" fight onscreen.
How many other films with two older actors trying to recapture the spotlight have you seen do well this year? ("<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=burtwonderstone.htm" target="_blank">The Incredible Burt Wonderstone</a>" with Jim Carrey and "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=tomb.htm" target="_blank">Escape Plan</a>" with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger are a two examples that come to mind.)
This isn't something like "The Avengers" vs. "The Justice League" that may get fans all riled up.
<h2>4. Steer clear: "<keyword id="1783874" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="The-Secret-Life-of-Walter-Mitty">The Secret Life of Walter Mitty</keyword>"</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdZ2cCMVKxU">20th Century Fox / The Secret Life of Walter Mitty trailer</a></div></div></div>
What it's about: Based on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-World-Secret-Walter-Blazers/dp/0895987201/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1386531960&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=the+secret+life+of+walter+mitty" target="_blank">James Thurber book</a>, Ben Stiller stars as a shy guy constantly lost in a daydream who finally goes on a big life adventure.
Who should see it: Fans of the book. Kristen Wiig / Stiller fans.
Why you should pass:
Collective <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_secret_life_of_walter_mitty_2013/" target="_blank">early reviews for the film</a> agree Mitty's dead on arrival with the adaptation lost in its own fantasy.
If we're being serious, between "<keyword id="1785981" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="American-Hustle">American Hustle</keyword>," "The Wolf of Wall Street," and this pick, we'd go with either of the former choices.
<h3>The four other movies out Christmas Day:</h3>
5. "August: Osage County": How can you go wrong with Meryl Streep AND Julia Roberts?A group of women come together for a family crisis. Ewan McGregor also stars in the film produced in part by George Clooney. Worth a watch.
6."Labor Day": Kate Winslet plays a mom who unknowingly gives a ride to an escaped convict (Josh Brolin). See it.
7. "Justin Bieber's Believe": A follow-up documentary to the singer's 2011 "Never Say Never" movie that teenage girls and "Beliebers" may want to check out, but that will probably get lost among all the other big releases. Skip.
8. "Walking With Dinosaurs 3D": Stick with Disney's animated flick, "Frozen." of is supposed to deliver a look at what it was like when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. The title sounds like the film is geared toward one demographic, but upon viewing the trailer it feels like a kid's film (a la "The Land Before Time"). Having 3D in the title doesn't do the film any favors as audiences often assume that means you must see the movie in that format. Skip.
<h2>Other films you'll want to check out:</h2>
Maybe you don't want to see any of those movies. 
There are a few other movies coming out RIGHT before the holidays you should consider:
<h2>Must-See: "American Hustle"</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image">Francois Duhamel / Sony Pictures</div></div>Release date: December 20
After last year's Oscar winner, "Silver Linings Playbook," director David O. Russell is back with actors Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. This time Amy Adams and Christian Bale join as two con artists trying to take down corrupt politicians.
Early reviews for the film are saying this could very well be O. Russell's next big Oscar win.
<h2>For the diehard film fan: "Her"</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image">Warner Bros. Pictures</div></div>Initial release date: December 18
Need something a little more quirky? Look no farther than Spike Jones' romantic dramedy about a man (Joaquin Phoenix) who falls in love with an operating system (voiced by Scarlet Johansson).
<h2>For the Peter Jackson fan: "The Hobbit: <keyword id="1968613" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="The-Desolation-of-Smaug">The Desolation of Smaug</keyword>"</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image">Mark Pokomy / Warner Bros.</div></div>Release date: December 13
Weren't a fan of the first film? The second of the trilogy should be the movie where the majority of the high-action takes place. 
Don't take our word for it, the majority of early reviews say the second installment is better than the first. 
Fans of Benedict Cumberbatch ("Sherlock") will appreciate him voicing the menacing dragon Smaug. "Lord of the Rings" fans will welcome back the return of Orlando Bloom as Legolas.
If you're worried about the surreal 48 frames per second that the first film was shown in, you won't have to deal with that this time around. 
<h2>For the Disney fan: "Saving Mr. Banks"</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image">Disney</div></div>Release date: December 13
Love "Mary Poppins" or Walt Disney? This film will tell you how the legend himself brought the film to the big screen. If you thought you were signing up for a film about Disney himself, look elsewhere. You may not get the full (true) story of the adaptation but you will get strong performances from Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson.
<h2>Must-watch comedy: "<keyword id="1743514" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Anchorman-2">Anchorman 2</keyword>: The Legend Continues"</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image">Gemma LaMana / Paramount Pictures</div></div>Release date: December 18
The news team reassembles!
Even if the movie's bad - and with all of the marketing oversaturation lately it very well could be - it won't matter. Fans have been waiting for nearly a decade to see Ron Burgundy reunite with the Channel 4 News team. And great Odin's raven are there a number of cameos - Tina Fey, Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford, and more. If it's the last thing we do, we'll be seeing this sequel - for better or worse.
