March 16, 2022, the Scheibye-Knudsen Lab, University of Copenhagen and Deep Longevity are excited to reveal the speakers for the 9th Aging Research & Drug Discovery Meeting, the largest scientific academic, and industry conference that will transpire on August 29 - September 2, 2022 on-site at the Ceremonial Hall, University of Copenhagen, and online.
According to the United Nations, the proportion of people aged over 65 now outnumber children younger than 5. The enormous growth in the elderly population is posing a significant healthcare challenge to societies worldwide. New sweeping interventions for reducing age-associated morbidities and frailty will undoubtedly be a key to reduce the health- and socioeconomic challenges that come with an aging society. Again this year we have an incredibly exciting program with global thought-leaders sharing their latest insights into aging and how we target the aging process ensuring everyone lives a healthier and longer life.
Despite pandemics and the shocking conflict on the European continent, the ARDD 2022 conference will be held in person at the University of Copenhagen. We are extremely excited about the program and the possibility of meeting friends and colleagues outside of zoom. This year we are maintaining our focus on young scientists who will be the future of our field and we have a large number of speaker slots for these rising stars." said Morten Scheibye-Knudsen, MD, Ph.D., University of Copenhagen.
Many credible biopharmaceutical companies are now prioritized aging research for early-stage discovery or therapeutic pipeline development. It is only logical to prioritize therapeutic targets that are important in both aging and age-associated diseases. The patient benefits either way. The best place to learn about these targets is ARDD, which we organize for nine years in a row. This conference is now the largest in the field and is not to be missed, said Alex Zhavoronkov, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine and Deep Longevity.
Aging research is growing faster than ever on both academia and industry fronts. The ARDD meeting unites experts from different fields and backgrounds, sharing with us their latest groundbreaking research and developments. Our last ARDD meeting took place as a hybrid meeting and was a great success and we will repeat this model for ARDD 2022. said Daniela Bakula, Ph.D., University of Copenhagen

About Scheibye-Knudsen Lab
In the Scheibye-Knudsen lab we use in silico, in vitro and in vivo models to understand the cellular and organismal consequences of DNA damage with the aim of developing interventions. We have discovered that DNA damage leads to changes in certain metabolites and that replenishment of these molecules may alter the rate of aging in model organisms. These findings suggest that normal aging and age-associated diseases may be malleable to similar interventions. The hope is to develop interventions that will allow everyone to live healthier, happier and more productive lives.
About Deep Longevity
Deep Longevity has been acquired by Edurance RP (SEHK:0575.HK), a publicly-traded company. Deep Longevity is developing explainable artificial intelligence systems to track the rate of aging at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, system, physiological, and psychological levels. It is also developing systems for the emerging field of longevity medicine enabling physicians to make better decisions on the interventions that may slow down, or reverse the aging processes. Deep Longevity developed Longevity as a Service (LaaS) solution to integrate multiple deep biomarkers of aging dubbed "deep aging clocks" to provide a universal multifactorial measure of human biological age. Originally incubated by Insilico Medicine, Deep Longevity started its independent journey in 2020 after securing a round of funding from the most credible venture capitalists specializing in biotechnology, longevity, and artificial intelligence. ETP Ventures, Human Longevity and Performance Impact Venture Fund, BOLD Capital Partners, Longevity Vision Fund, LongeVC, co-founder of Oculus, Michael Antonov, and other expert AI and biotechnology investors supported the company. Deep Longevity established a research partnership with one of the most prominent longevity organizations, Human Longevity, Inc. to provide a range of aging clocks to the network of advanced physicians and researchers. https://longevity.ai/
About Endurance RP (SEHK:0575.HK)
Endurance RP is a diversified investment group based in Hong Kong currently holding various corporate and strategic investments focusing on the healthcare, wellness and life sciences sectors. The Group has a strong track record of investments and has returned approximately US$298 million to shareholders in the 21 years of financial reporting since its initial public offering. https://www.endurancerp.com/

‘Daily life tasks’ shown to slash your risk of heart disease and stroke by up to 50% – Express
Posted: at 8:17 pm
Participants wore a research-grade accelerometer for up to seven days to get accurate measures of how much time they spent moving and, importantly, the types of common daily life behaviours that result in movement and are not often included in prior studies of light and moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity.
Those prior studies typically focused on intensity and duration of activities like running and brisk walking while the current study measured smaller movements at varying intensity during activities like cooking.
During this study, 616 women were diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, 268 with coronary heart disease, 253 had a stroke, and 331 died of cardiovascular disease.
"Much of the movement engaged in by older adults is associated with daily life tasks, but it may not be considered physical activity. Understanding the benefits of daily life movement and adding this to physical activity guidelines may encourage more movement," said senior author Andrea LaCroix, Ph.D., M.P.H., Distinguished Professor and chief of the Division of Epidemiology at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health.

Opinion | This Is Why Autocracies Fail – The New York Times
Posted: at 8:17 pm
Joe Biden correctly argues that the struggle between democracy and autocracy is the defining conflict of our time. So which system performs better under stress?
For the past several years, the autocracies seemed to have the upper hand. In autocracy, power is centralized. Leaders can respond to challenges quickly, shift resources decisively. China showed that autocracies can produce mass prosperity. Autocracy has made global gains and democracy continues to decline.
In democracies, on the other hand, power is decentralized, often polarized and paralytic. The American political system has become distrusted and dysfunctional. A homegrown would-be autocrat won the White House. Academics have written popular books with titles like How Democracies Die.
Yet the past few weeks have been revelatory. Its become clear that when it comes to the most important functions of government, autocracy has severe weaknesses. This is not an occasion for democratic triumphalism; its an occasion for a realistic assessment of authoritarian ineptitude and perhaps instability. What are those weaknesses?
The wisdom of many is better than the wisdom of megalomaniacs. In any system, one essential trait is: How does information flow? In democracies, policymaking is usually done more or less in public, and there are thousands of experts offering facts and opinions. Many economists last year said inflation would not be a problem, but Larry Summers and others said it would, and they turned out to have been right. We still make mistakes, but the system learns.
Often in autocracies, decisions are made within a small, closed circle. Information flows are distorted by power. No one tells the top man what he doesnt want to hear. The Russian intelligence failure about Ukraine has been astounding. Vladimir Putin understood nothing about what the Ukrainian people wanted, how they would fight or how his own army had been ruined by corruption and kleptocrats.
People want their biggest life. Human beings these days want to have full, rich lives and make the most of their potential. The liberal ideal is that people should be left as free as possible to construct their own ideal. Autocracies restrict freedom for the sake of order. So many of the best and brightest are now fleeing Russia. The American ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel, points out that Hong Kong is suffering a devastating brain drain. Bloomberg reports, The effects of the brain drain in sectors such as education, health care and even finance will likely be felt by residents for years to come. American institutions now have nearly as many top-tier A.I. researchers from China as from the United States. Given the chance, talented people will go where fulfillment lies.
Organization man turns into gangster man. People rise through autocracies by ruthlessly serving the organization, the bureaucracy. That ruthlessness makes them aware others may be more ruthless and manipulative, so they become paranoid and despotic. They often personalize power, so they are the state, and the state is them. Any dissent is taken as a personal affront. They may practice what scholars call negative selection. They dont hire the smartest and best people. Such people might be threatening. They hire the dimmest and the most mediocre. You get a government of third-raters. (Witness the leaders of the Russian military.)
Ethnonationalism self-inebriates. Everybody worships something. In a liberal democracy, worship of the nation (which is particular) is balanced by the love of liberal ideals (which are universal). With the demise of communism, authoritarianism lost a major source of universal values. National glory is pursued with intoxicating fundamentalism.
I believe in passionarity, in the theory of passionarity, Putin declared last year. He continued: We have an infinite genetic code. Passionarity is a theory created by the Russian ethnologist Lev Gumilyov that holds that each nation has its own level of mental and ideological energy, its own expansionary spirit. Putin seems to believe Russia is exceptional on front after front and on the march. This kind of crackpot nationalism deludes people into pursuing ambitions far beyond their capacity.
Government against the people is a recipe for decline. Democratic leaders, at least in theory, serve their constituents. Autocratic leaders, in practice, serve their own regime and longevity, even if it means neglecting their people. Thomas J. Bollyky, Tara Templin and Simon Wigley illustrate how life expectancy improvements have slowed in countries that have recently transitioned to autocracies. A study of more than 400 dictators across 76 countries by Richard Jong-A-Pin and Jochen O. Mierau found that a one-year increase in a dictators age decreases his nations economic growth by 0.12 percentage points.
When the Soviet Union fell, we learned that the C.I.A. had overstated the Soviet economy and Soviet military might. Its just very hard to successfully run a big society through centralized power.
To me, the lesson is that even when were confronting so-far successful autocracies like China, we should learn to be patient and trust our liberal democratic system. When we are confronting imperial aggressors like Putin, we should trust the ways we are responding now. If we steadily, patiently and remorselessly ramp up the economic, technological and political pressure, the weaknesses inherent in the regime will grow and grow.

What Adaptations of Little Red Riding Hood Tell Us About the Lasting Power of Fairytales – Book Riot

We forget a lot of things as human beings. And with the passage of time, memory tends to fade and fade until it disappears all together. Its sad, but with the full spectrum of human history and emotion, its not surprising that some stories and ideas just disappear. But of course, there are some that remain. Perhaps not in their original form, but the essence of the story remains. And if were lucky, its original intent also remains. Some of the most lasting stories are not historical accounts of kings or queens or even empire-shaking wars, but rather fairytales.
Is it just Disney we have to thank for this? Or is there something more to fairytales that fuels their longevity?
Merriam Webster defines a fairytale as a story (as for children) involving fantastic forces and beings (such as fairies, wizards, and goblins). Sounds a little ridiculous, yes? But I hypothesize that unlike other types of stories, fairytales told to our children have a specific purpose that wont shed away with time. Many fairytales are meant to teach lessons, to instill a communitys values, and/or to impart cultural knowledge. My grandmother used to tell me all sorts of stories based on Hindu epics, which I used to listen to with rapt attention. Her retellings helped me form my identity as an Indian American and maintain a close relationship with the culture of the motherland. These stories also helped me connect with fellow Indians and Indian Americans because one had to be part of the community to understand just how real they were (and still are) to us. These epics gave all us a shared language that remained intact on a new continent.
I also remember my friends mom telling me the story of Rumpelstiltskin, which is still one of my favorite fairytales. Although I have no cultural tie to the story, knowing it gave me some important context because the story is referenced so much in the western canon. It helped me form my identity as a kid growing up in the west and understand certain cultural references with ease.
Because fairytales are commonly told to children, its not unusual for parents and guardians to adapt the stories a little. This penchant for adaptation and retelling has historically found its way to publishing. More recently, young adult (YA) novels of various fairytale retellings are published by the dozen each year.

Take Little Red Riding Hood, a rather creepy and gruesome tale of a little girl just trying to be a good granddaughter. The story of Little Red Riding Hood dates back to pre17th century European folktales, and theres evidence to suggest that similar stories have been told in 10th century France and even North Africa. This means that the story popularized by the Brothers Grimm is more than likely much older and with some, possibly, complex and interconnected roots.
In the story, she ventures into the dark woods to bring food for her elderly grandmother. A place that was known to house dangerous creatures. But still, she went. Why on Earth is that a story parents and writers still tell to children and young adults alike? Does it come down to teaching children to never speak to strangers? Is it a warning to not go out after dark, even if a loved one needs us to? Or is it a warning that the world is a dark, dangerous place, so be prepared to live in it?
Ive noticed several YA and adult crossover books in particular that have retold the story of Little Red Riding Hood to some degree, such as Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge, For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten, and Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce. Although each story is unique, I noticed something similar in all of them: Each one rests on the premise that a young girl needs to venture into a dangerous, dark, and unknown place to face a monster or some sort of evil/danger. There is a practical lesson here. We like to think that the modern world is safe for young girls, but reality would suggest otherwise. Crime statistics against women and children are still holding strong around the world. It is sad that an age-old fairytale is still holding true. That a young girl who needs to take care of an elderly family member faces danger in doing so. Although Little Red Riding Hood is still a horrific fairytale with immense entertainment value, its core lesson easily translates to these modern retellings, which provide a more modern context to the message and add to the cultural narrative.
To that end, Im convinced that each fairytale has a core lesson that remains intact, despite being told and retold over the centuries. I have to wonder if its these lessons, both explicit and implicit, that lend themselves to the longevity of fairytales. Retellings not only take advantage of the creative capital given to us by previous writers, but also serve as a way to continue a cultural narrative and instill certain lessons for the next generation.
When I was a girl, I honestly thought that Little Red Riding Hood was a horror story meant to scare me from the dark. But with the benefit of hindsight and having read several retellings/adaptations, I am now convinced that its a story that tells young girls that yes, the world is dark and dangerous. I mean, why on Earth did her grandmother live in those woods? But at the end of the day, its the world we live in, and we have to face it because unfortunately, we have people relying on us. Thats not to say that we shouldnt work to make the world safer, because we should. But fairytales like Little Red Riding Hood at least give us a dose of reality.

The four ‘SZNZ’ of Weezer – NPR
Posted: at 8:17 pm
Some 300 years after Antonio Vivaldi captured the feeling of springtime with his Four Seasons, another composer is drawing from the same inspiration Rivers Cuomo of Weezer.
His band, never one to take much time off, is putting out a quartet of albums this year in much the same spirit as Vivaldi. Cuomo has titled the series SZNZ and is beginning, of course, with Spring. It's out this Sunday which happens to be the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere.
Morning Edition's A Martinez spoke to Cuomo about the cathartic new release, written during lockdown, and maintaining relationships three decades into a band's life.
This interview has been edited and condensed. To hear the broadcast version of this story, you can use the audio player at the top of this page.
A Martinez, Morning Edition: So, Rivers Vivaldi might have gotten the jump on you here, having written The Four Seasons some 300 years ago. Was that work an inspiration at all for you on this?
Rivers Cuomo: Yeah, absolutely. In each of the four EPs [of SZNZ] at least one of the songs interpolate one of his riffs. So it was fun to take a bit of one of his ideas and set my own lyrics to it and try to make it sound like a modern rock song. But I think most people are going to hear like, for example: The first song on Spring is called "Opening Night." People are going to hear that and be like, "Wait a minute, what is that?" And then they're going to be like, "Oh my God, I know that from some commercial or some... I don't know, something. It's some classical thing." Yeah, it's from Vivaldi.
Tell us what your approaches to this project are what's your mission statement?
Well, we actually had a mission statement, so I'm glad you asked. It was to pick up where we left off with our last album, OK Human. It was Weezer with an orchestra; setting aside all commercial concerns and just really delving into my love for classical music and opera music and writing on the piano instead of an electric guitar, and just trying to go all-out with the crazy composition and the melodies. And so that's what we did... and I think we pretty much hit the nail on the head.
I think there is a lot to be said for a group that can stay together as long as you have. I think of Pearl Jam that group has stayed pretty much the same for a long, long time. What do you think accounts for that longevity, that ability to stay together and not get on each other's nerves to the point where you just want to never be near each other again?
I feel like we all benefited a lot from getting married not to each other and going through couples therapy and learning how to communicate and compromise. We didn't have any of those skills when we started and there were definitely some rough patches, but everyone's so chill now. It's great.
I think it's really reassuring to know that things can last even through some rough spots.
I'd be glad if people get that sort of reassurance from our story because we all come from broken homes. And I know for me it was super important.
Back to SZNZ. When you're thinking about spring songs, what kind of ideas and concepts come to mind?
Well, it's definitely thinking a lot about, you know, the typical things you think about coming back to life, rebirth, coming out of a long, cold hibernation. In terms of spirituality like, living more in the moment and not being too hung up on self-denial, enjoying life. Those sorts of themes.
And that is exactly what I heard in the song "All This Love." It seems to almost be a nod to the pandemic and that we're all kind of coming out of it. It feels like we're entering a better stage, or maybe a more-free stage. Tell us about that song.
That song is all about just this incredible feeling of pent-up energy and wanting to express yourself and go out and be social and share your love. The chorus is really explosive and says, "I got all this love, I've been saving it, saving up, let me let it out." And it's just a really, really explosive feeling. In contrast, the first verse is [paraphrasing] "I've been stuck inside and I got this mask on my mouth, I forgot how to sing, I forgot how to love and live."
And on another level, thinking of how I've, at times, had this tendency to be too intellectual and not instinctual enough about art. There's a very obscure nod to the scientific way of creativity, a reference to Benjamin Franklin [in] the opening line, with "the key and a kite, waiting for lightning to strike camping out in the field by my house." So that's me thinking too hard about how to go about my creativity instead of just letting it flow.
Were you always more intellectual instead of instinctual when it comes to your art?
I've had that instinct since before Weezer even existed. I mean, I remember being a teenager and being so curious about music theory and at the same time, thinking, "Wait a minute, that's not cool. You're not supposed to study music theory if you're a rock musician." So there was always a struggle for me.
But I'd say in recent years, I've really found a great balance and am feeling more instinctual than ever at the same time, I have tons of spreadsheets and computer programs that I've written to help me along. I'm firing on all cylinders, for sure.
Now, have you started thinking about SZNZ: Summer yet?
Yeah, I'd say like everything is 90% written as of last year this is what I did during the lockdown. So I have these folders, four folders of really well-written-out songs. I'm working with another producer now on the summer songs and we hope to have fall done before we leave for Europe at the end of May, and then finish winter in August.
Is that a normal pace for you? I don't know I'm not a musician, it just sounds like a lot.
I mean, a lot of the songs are short... It's a lot. It's definitely a lot. And you know, we've announced it. We've committed to doing it... and yet we haven't actually done it yet. So it's uh, it'll be a challenge. But everyone knows what we're in for and we're all into it and we want to do it. And hopefully we don't drive our managers too crazy, because it's going to be a ton of work.
Do you work better that way? You know, announcing something, committing to do it even though you haven't done it yet?
Oh no, I don't. I don't think it really affects me either way. Like, I am very, very excited to work every day just for the sake of creating something, and I don't necessarily need the motivation of having a deadline.
Speaking from a journalist's point of view: if there is no deadline on me, I don't know if I'll ever turn anything in, ever. [Laughs] So I wonder if you work that way too as an artist?
No, I don't. I just love building stuff, and every morning I wake up and come down to my studio and build stuff, and then we have to figure out what to do with it.
What kind of reaction have you gotten from fans of yours? Sometimes, I think fans get a little too in love with what they liked about you when you started, and maybe don't like it when an artist tries to do new things.
We definitely went through that phase, like in the beginning of the 2000s. It was real tough. But it seems like we're surrounded by fans who are super excited about new music and they themselves are actually frustrated when they encounter other people who have closed minds [towards] the new stuff. So it feels like we've got a great, great little neighborhood around us.
And that being said, one of our concerns was like, "We don't want to burn the audience out," because we've been putting out a lot of music. We did two records last year and this will be another 28 songs this year.
I might be wrong on this, but it feels in what I've heard that you're using a lot more acoustic instruments for the spring collection. Was that by design?
Oh, absolutely. Spring is chock full of acoustic and ancient-sounding instruments. Recorder, acoustic Guitar, mandolin, 12-string. So yeah, it's a very natural, woody type of sound.
The whole time I was writing and recording. I was imagining myself in the movie production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, when they wake up in the forest. It's just such a beautiful, magical scene ... all these woodland creatures and fairies. But that's just spring.
Summer is going to move into a completely different emotional and sonic terrain where it's going to be much more aggressive and angry and you won't hear those woody sounds anymore. And then fall is going to be a much more like, technological element and dance rock. And then with winter, we return to a more acoustic, mournful tone.
I just realized, Rivers, that this is a strictly northern hemisphere kind of record are our fans in Australia, New Zealand going to be upset?
I'll tell you, we did make one concession already we changed "fall" to "autumn." Apparently no one uses the word fall except for Americans.
Weezer's new EP, SZNZ: Spring, is out Mar. 20.

Find the Best Online Roulette Gambling Games Today – Bettors Insider
Posted: at 8:15 pm
There are many ways to entertain yourself online. Playing games is definitely one of those ways. The best casino games out there these days are roulette, and they come in various permutations. You may enjoy French, American, and European roulette which will make the experience a lot more fun than you expect at first blush. Players who wish to try these versions of the game are advised to turn to the top roulette casinos.
There you will discover numerous versions of the game but also learn why some games tend to be more generous than others. Roulette games give a lot of fun, and while they do have a gambling element to them, you can use your knowledge to minimize chances of loss.
Roulette is dubbed a gambling game, and this is understandable. After all, it takes luck to end a gaming session with a net win. However, roulette for all the chance the game has is also a game of skill where you can use your knowledge of the game to make the best and smartest decisions.
For one, you can bet in a way that is consistent with a good strategy. Whether this is Martingale or Fibonacci will be down to you, but the truth is that both strategies offer some leeway, and you will have no trouble adjusting your bets in real time. Whats so special about these two strategies, you may wonder?
Well, as things stand, Fibonacci and Martingale still depend on chance, but the fact is that you can use smart bet sizes and consistency to incrementally expand your bankroll. Martingale essentially works by placing a bet, and if that bet loses, you double up your stake. You keep doubling up until you have recovered your loss and then return to the basic unit.
Fibonacci is a fixed sequence of numbers. You place one number in the sequence and then go to the next and to the next one. You will similarly move down the sequence depending on whether you win or lose your selection.
There are many roulette games to try out there as well, but which are the best, you may wonder? Well, this depends on what you are looking for. In terms of pure return to player, you may want to stick with the French version of the game as it will provide you with the best returns. French roulette can push the house significantly down and run a small 1.36% house edge at all times. This is because the game has two rules called Le Partage and En Prison. Effectively, they negate the negative impact of your roll ending up on zero by either returning your stake or giving you a second chance to roll.
So, French roulette is best, but finding one that features all the additional rules that make it such is not easy as well. That is why most people are sticking with European roulette. The European version is also called a single-zero version. Here the house edge is 2.70%, and its considered the best base version (with 37 total numbers) to play.
Another one is the American roulette which has two zeros, and here the house edge increases a bit. On the flip side, you have a small advantage because you may place your wagers on a new special type of bet.
The first thing to remember is that roulette should be fun. If you want to play the game, you should only do so because you want to enjoy yourself first and to win money next. The game of roulette is not created to make you richer, but its certainly created to offer you a chance to win some money in a surprising and satisfying way.
For example, French roulette is obviously the most beneficial one from an RTP point of view, but when you consider entertainment value, then you would probably want to play Immersive or Lightning Roulette by companies such as Evolution Gaming. It all comes down to personal choice so what is yours?

How Did a College Professor Win $8 Million At Roulette Over 5 Years? – Entrepreneur
Posted: at 8:15 pm
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
The odds of winning at a casino are not very good at all. And for roulette, it's even worse. As financial author J.B. Maverick reports in Investopedia, the house has a 5.26 % edge on an American roulette wheel, a percentage that's much higher than other games like blackjack. What does this mean?
"A roulette wheel is numbered from one to 36, so you might think this puts the odds for winning a single number bet at 36 to one," Maverick writes. "However, roulette wheels also have a zero, and sometimes they have a double zero and even a triple zero. The actual odds of winning are thus 37 to one, 38 to one, or 39 to one, not 36 to one."
Maverick reports that a casino wins about $50,000 for every $1 million played, and the house winnings get bigger the longer the player participates. If person is making $5 bets on every spin of the wheel and the wheel spins 50 times an hour, they'll wind up losing 5% of their money over four hours. Only 13.5% of gamblers actually wind up winning at the roulette wheel, according to Maverick's research.
Dr. Richard Jarecki, a medical professor at the University of Heidelberg, was one of the 13.5%. But the professor didn't just win. He won big. In fact, over a five-year period between 1964 and 1969,Jarecki won $8 million from roulette at various casinos. How?

By noticing a flaw ... and then painstakingly working at exploiting it. According to this great story in The Hustle, Jarecki found that roulette wheels, like all other mechanical devices, demonstrated wear and tear after a period of time. These tiny defects "chips, dents, scratches, unlevel surfaces might cause certain wheels to land on certain numbers more frequently than randomicity prescribed."
So what did Jarecki do? He went to work. He spent countless hours in numerous casinos, in addition to the hours he spent at his job, manually tracking tens of thousands of spins and analyzing the data for abnormalities.
I [experimented] until I had a rough outline of a system based on the previous winning numbers, he told the Sydney Morning Herald in 1969. If numbers 1, 2 and 3 won the last 3 rounds, [I could determine] what was most likely to win the next 3.
Jarecki visited numerous casinos in Europe. He hired people to help him log the data. He spent days and nights analyzing that data. Then he did what any entrepreneur does when ready to take a risk: He borrowed 25,000 from a private investor, and over six months he quietly, slowly and cautiously placed his bets. The results were a net profit of 625,000 (roughly $6,700,000 today). By the end of 1969, Jarecki had made almost $8,000,000 in today's dollars.
Nothing he did was illegal, but it was annoying and costly to the gambling industry. Ultimately, Jarecki's highly publicized successes caused the industry to undertake a complete overhaul and digitization of their roulette tables. So sorry dont get any ideas.
Nevertheless, Jarecki noticed a flaw and he took advantage of it. He also proved three other very important things that every entrepreneur should know. The first is that making money is not easy. This was no get rich quick scheme. Jarecki had his successes over a number of years and after spending thousands of hours doing the research and collecting the data. He also invested his own money by hiring people to help. This took time and a lot of work.
Second, it really is all about the data. Collecting and then deeply analyzing the trends revealed from information about any business, activity, demographic, industry or geographic region will oftentimes reveal things to exploit. Most of us arent data driven people. We have romantic ideas about making money. Were usually not willing,or patient, enoughto do the research.

Finally, if you're going to make big money, you're going to have to risk big money. Jarecki couldn't do this on his own. He used his own money to hire people to help. Then when he was convinced of future success, he had to persuade an outside investor to make a significant investment, and you can only imagine how that pitch meeting went. But apparently he was convincing enough to sell his project. Im sure there were many sleepless nights during that time.
There are few people in this world that are willing to do all of the above, and even fewer that ultimately succeed the way Jarecki did. Are you one of those few people? If you are, then Im envious. If youre not, then join the crowd.

I played pregnancy roulette with my best friend we did NOT get the results we were expecting… – The US Sun
Posted: at 8:15 pm
THEY decided to play a game of "pregnancy roulette" as a bit of fun.
But two women were left speechless when they discovered during the game that they were BOTH pregnant.

Jessica Oakes took to TikTok to share a video over which she wrote "POV: pregnancy roulette with the bestie".
In the clip, she and her pal were seen popping to the shops to buy two Clearblue pregnancy tests.
They then took it in turns to go into the toilet and take the test, after which they put the stick in a empty tissue box.
Once they'd both done the tests, they sat on the bed and reached into the box to pull one out.
Jessica went first, and kept the test close to her chest as she took a peek at the result and then nodded excitedly at her friend after apparently witnessing a positive.
However, the result didn't seem like much of a shock to Jessica - unlike her friend.
As she pulled out the stick and had a look, she couldn't hide the shock on her face as she realised that was positive too.
"Always trust your gut #pregnancyroulette," she captioned the video on TikTok.
In the comments section, people were quick to offer the pair their congratulations, as well as tagging friends to take part in the game with themselves.
"Get the tests ready were doing it!" one woman wrote.
While another added: "I wanna do it obviously they will both be negative but why not?"
As somebody else commented: "Lets make it an every month thing!"

The Russian roulette of geopolitics will favour cryptos – Mint
Posted: at 8:15 pm
Russias attack on Ukraine has upset all the well-integrated and familiar geopolitical, geo-economic pieces. The global order of the past 30 years resembled a giant jigsaw puzzle with many uneven fragmentssuch as, a rules-based global trade and financial system, or a unipolar global political systemwhich somehow fit snugly into one recognizable template. All these pieces are now up in the air.
Nobody can predict where the pieces will fall, whenever they fall, but one outcome seems quite likely: the new, emergent world order is likely to see accelerated acceptance of official cryptocurrency. Western economies, of necessity, will be in the vanguard as Russia weaponizes crypto-products to get around sanctions and precipitates cyber-warfare to implant measured chaos. According to US-based media outlets, 21 American companies, including gas producer Chevron, faced cyber-attacks days before Russian forces crossed into Ukraine. In this chaotic reordering of the global financial system, it will be interesting to see where and how India manages its cyber strategy, especially in erecting a regulatory framework for private crypto-products and rolling out a central bank digital currency (CBDC) with a design that is transparent, user-friendly, hack-proof and interoperable with other CBDCs. Speed will be key here.
The fast-transforming financial landscape has forced even the US to bring forward its CBDC plans. President Joe Biden has mandated government agencies and ministries to start developing a digital US dollar and to come out with a report highlighting the risks and advantages of such a move.
The US move comes after many months of debate over whether the worlds most powerful currency would bite the digital bullet. Whatever the outcome, an American CBDC is bound to be a crucial turning point for the global financial system. Bidens executive order is explicit: My Administration sees merit in showcasing United States leadership and participation in international fora related to CBDCs and in multi country conversations and pilot projects involving CBDCs. Any future dollar payment system should be designed in a way that is consistent with United States priorities and democratic values, including privacy protections, and that ensures the global financial system has appropriate transparency, connectivity, and platform and architecture interoperability or transferability, as appropriate."
It does look like a rear-guard action to maintain the dollars superior status as a global reserve currency. In an article for US-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, analyst James Andrew Lewis writes: The end of American ascendancy undermines the architecture of global governance and security Rule of law and norms for responsible behavior, the themes that have guided digital governance, are now open to question and inadequate to guide policy in a confrontation."
Coincidentally, in January 2022, the US central bank, the Federal Reserve released a report titled Money and Payment: The US Dollar In The Age of Digital Transformation, seeking stakeholder feedback on the desired architecture for a digital dollar, including all its perceived risks and benefits. The idea behind seeking expert help is to minimize architectural flaws. This exercise is expected to continue independently, in parallel, while the US treasury department, headed by former Fed governor Janet Yellen, will also submit a report to Biden in September on the potential benefits and risks of a CBDC. Bidens executive order focuses heavily on inter-agency coordination for finalizing Yellens report, somewhat like a war-time effort, suggesting that the US government probably sees cryptos as the next battlefield.
India too has publicly announced a CBDC launch. But, so far, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has shared little information about its likely contours: whether priority will be for wholesale or retail modules, the choice of technology, whether external agencies will be involved, or how the design will incorporate special features suited for the Indian financial system.
Going by what RBI deputy governor T Rabi Sankar said during the February monetary policy media briefing, the central bank is seemingly handicapped by legislation: In the current Union budget, it has been proposed to amend the RBI Act which will enable RBI to issue the digital rupee. Once that is done, we can try releasing pilots, proofs of concepts of CBDC."
This cloak of secrecy extends to the government as well and muddies policy discussion on cryptos. The government promised to bring in legislation for regulating crypto-products in the country and publicly stated that a draft bill has been circulated for stakeholder feedback. But nobody knows the contents of the draft or among whom it has been circulated. The normal practice is to make the draft bill available to everybody and not to only a select group; a wider and universal circle of stakeholders improves input quality, minimizing opportunities for cronyism or surreptitious backdoors built into the CBDC design.
The government, though, has proposed a tax on profits from crypto trading, triggering speculation that taxation legalizes crypto products, adding to confusion. The Centre probably had its reasons for confidentiality but, post-Ukraine, the decks been reshuffled. This might require a change in strategy, one that blends domestic political compulsions with emerging geopolitical trends.
