Proverbs 16:3 Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established. You Can Now get Digital Nikes as Transhumanism Continues to March Forward (Forbes) https://www.forbes.com/sites/martyswant/2021/12/13/nike-moves-deeper-into-the-metaverse-by-acquiring-virtual-sneaker-designer-rtfkt/?sh=79e0f0706655 “Nike is taking another step into the metaverse by acquiring RTFKT Studios, a virtual sneaker and collectibles startup. While the deal is already being seen by many as Nike’s way of saying “Just Do It” to the Web3 era, it’ll also likely signal to NFT startups and legacy clothing brands alike that the world of virtual fashion will further heat up in 2022. Founded in 2019, RTFKT has becoming increasingly popular with sneaker and Web3 enthusiasts, and has gained momentum during the NFT boom that began earlier this year. In February, the startup released several virtual sneaker designs in collaboration with the artist Fewocious and quickly made more than $3 million buy selling more than 600 pairs that can’t even be worn in the physical world. In March, it partnered with Atari on a limited edition Atari-themed virtual sneaker. And just last month, RTFKT partnered with the artist Takashi Murakami on an NFT auction to sell 20,000 3D avatars that are a part of the CloneX collection.

Several universities, such as Georgetown, George Washington and Cornell, have decided to either cancel all indoor events or hold them online, among other restrictions. Georgetown University, for example, is restricting all indoor campus dining to a "grab-and-go" model, where students pick up their food in a dining hall and eat in their private room. The university is also closing fitness centers, and has canceled all events if they cannot be held outdoors or online.” Many universities across the United States have also announced that they will require a coronavirus booster shot as well. Syracuse, George Washington, Northeastern, Notre Dame, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and more have announced booster shots will be required for all eligible students beginning in the spring 2022 semester.
