What started as niche competitions among video game enthusiasts has now evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry. eSports events are regularly broadcasted on major networks, and professional gamers have gained celebrity status. With millions of fans worldwide, it was only a matter of time before the rise of eSports betting became a significant trend.
The Evolution of eSports Betting
In recent years, the world of online gambling has been revolutionized by the introduction of eSports betting. Traditional sports betting has always been popular, with fans placing wagers on their favorite teams or athletes. However, the emergence of eSports betting has opened up a whole new market for enthusiasts who want to bet on their favorite video game players and teams.
The process of placing eSports bets is similar to traditional sports betting. Gamblers can choose from a wide range of markets, including match winners, tournament outcomes, and in-game events. The popularity of eSports has attracted major bookmakers and online gambling platforms, offering competitive odds and exciting betting options to entice users.
The Appeal of eSports Betting

As the industry expands, it must ensure the integrity of its competitions and protect consumers from fraudulent activities. Collaborations between gambling regulators, eSports organizations, and bookmakers are crucial to maintaining a fair and transparent betting environment.
Another challenge is the potential for match-fixing and cheating within the eSports community. The rapid growth of the industry has made it a prime target for unscrupulous individuals seeking to exploit the system for personal gain. Implementing strict rules and regulations, as well as robust anti-cheating measures, is necessary to maintain the integrity of eSports betting.

After two years of stable growth and diversification, Panama-based reinsurer Barents Re now has its sights set even further afield as it plans a greater presence in Europe.
Panama-based reinsurer Barents Re says that a series of solid successes in recent years around its expansion plans into the Middle East have given it the encouragement potentially to launch into yet more geographical areas including parts of Europe, Russia and sub-Saharan Africa.
The company has enjoyed rapid growth and has already established a footprint in several markets beyond its Latin America base. In the past two years, it has opened offices in Miami, Paris and Beirut—something that has been complemented by solid growth in its established markets.
John Fitzpatrick, chief risk officer of Barents Re, says much of this growth has been organic and within its traditional disciplines. Its main focus is on specialty lines such as bonds, engineering, affinity group accident and health and niche products where it can partner with clients.

The New Woman Behind the Camera
Harry Cooper, Mark Godfrey, Alison de Lima Greene,Kate Nesin
During the 1920s the New Woman was easy to recognize but hard to define. Hair bobbed and fashionably dressed, this iconic figure of modernity was everywhere, splashed across magazine pages or projected on the silver screen. A global phenomenon, she embodied an ideal of female empowerment based on real women making revolutionary changes in life and art—including photography.
This groundbreaking, richly illustrated book looks at those “new women” who embraced the camera as a mode of expression and made a profound impact on the medium from the 1920s to the 1950s. Thematic chapters explore how women emerged as a driving force in modern photography, bringing their own perspective to artistic experimentation, studio portraiture, fashion and advertising work, scenes of urban life, ethnography and photojournalism.
Featuring work by 120 photographers, this volume expands the history of photography by critically examining an international array of canonical and less well-known women photographers, from Berenice Abbott, Dorothea Lange and Lola Álvarez Bravo to Germaine Krull, Tsuneko Sasamoto and Homai Vyarawalla. Against the odds, these women produced invaluable visual testimony that reflects both their personal experiences and the extraordinary social and political transformations of the era.

Calcitonin (CT) is a 32 amino acid peptide synthesized by the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid. It acts through its receptors to inhibit osteoclast mediated bone resorption, decrease calcium resorption by the kidney and decrease calcium absorption by the intestines. The action of calcitonin is therefore to cause a reduction in serum calcium, an effect opposite to that of parathyroid hormone. The calcitonin gene transcript also encodes the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which is thought to be a potent vasodilator. The tissue specificity of the transcript produced depends on alternative splicing of the CT/CGRP gene transcript. In the parafollicular cells of the thyroid 95% of the CT/CGRP is processed and translated to produce CT, however, in neuronal cells 99% of the CT/CGRP RNA is translated into CGRP. The C cells of the thyroid give rise to an endocrine tumor, medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), which occurs in a sporadic (75% of cases) and hereditary form (25% of cases). Familial MTC is associated with C cell hyperplasia (CCH), whereas sporadic MTC is thought not to be. However, in the general population CCH is present in 20-30% of thyroid glands, either with normal histology, thyroiditis or follicular tumors.
Calcitonin is recommended for the detection of specific antigens of interest in normal and neoplastic tissues, as an adjunct to conventional histopathology using non-immunologic histochemical stains.

Gilbert Arenas Profits $600k Off Calabasas Home
We previously reported the former NBA baller couldn’t pay for his children’s private school tuition because he was in a financial crunch. Gilbert later dispelled that issue later on his social media page with his kids…
What money problems? According to TMZ, Gilbert recently sold his $2.75 Calabasas crib for $3.35 million. That’s a cool $600K real estate deal if you’re trying to keep count. Gilbert and Laura Govan infamously lived in the mansin together before kicking his baby mama to the curb back in 2014.

Robyn is a Swedish singer and songwriter. Her first album came out in 1995, when she was 16 years old. It went platinum in the US, double-platinum in Sweden. Since then, she’s been nominated for five Grammys and started her own record label. But there was an eight-year gap between Robyn’s album Body Talk, which came out in 2010, and her most recent album, Honey, which came out last October. Time, Rolling Stone, and Pitchfork all named it one of the best albums of the year.
For Song Exploder, Robyn breaks down the song “Honey,” the title track from that album. The first time the public heard the song was in a 2017 episode of the HBO show Girls, but that’s not the final version that was released on the album. In this episode, Robyn traces the long history of how she made “Honey,” a song that The New York Times called “her masterpiece.”
Robyn discusses the process she took in writing her track Honey. Whether it be the discovery of a seed in a sample, hours a riffing to find a melody and additional production from others. In the end, the initial beginning is there in beat and spirit, but has been progressively mixed out.
