D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University. He worked at IBM’s T. J. Watson Research Center in New York between 1984-2000. During 1987 and 1989 Fall Terms, he took a sabbatical from IBM to teach two courses and supervise two Ph.D. students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Between 1993-1995, along with others, he built and sold a "Supply Chain Management Solution" for paper mills and steel mills, which was the first commercial Artificial Intelligence based solution of its kind. By optimizing paper machines, trimmers, winders, warehouses, transportation, and the loading of trucks and railroad cars, their solution saved paper mills substantially in the mills’ operating costs. In 1993, Madison Paper Company in the United States was the first to buy this solution. And the company used this solution until 2017, when it was sold to a Norwegian paper company.
Between 1996-1997, Dr. Aggarwal joined the Strategy Department of IBM Research Division, which was then greatly involved in strategizing and organizing chess matches between Deep Blue and Gary Kasparov. In July 1997, IBM Research Division announced the formation of “IBM’s India Research Laboratory” (IRL). Dr. Aggarwal “founded” IRL inside IIT Delhi on April 1, 1998. By August 2000, he had grown it from "ground zero" to a 60-member team (with 30 PhDs and 30 people with master’s in computer science and related areas).
In January 2001, he co-founded Evalueserve (www.evalueserve.com ), which currently has more than 4,500 employees and provides various kinds of research, analytics, and consulting services to clients worldwide. In 2003, he wrote the first article regarding “Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO),” which estimated the amount of such work that would be outsourced from high-wage countries (like the United States) to low-wage countries (like India). Today, KPO is a well-known term in the outsourcing industry and is considered a sector on its own with more than 300 KPO companies in India alone.
In February 2014, Dr. Aggarwal founded Scry Analytics (now “Scry AI”) that performs research and development (R&D) in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and related areas. Scry AI ( www.scryai.com ) also has five product groups and a distributed platform for Internet of Things. These improve efficiency of business workflows regarding quality, timeliness, revenue, cost, customer experience, compliance, and operational risks. Scry AI has its primary center in San Jose, California. And it has three other centers in Gurgaon, Pune, and Hyderabad, India.
He has published 120 research articles, has been granted 8 patents from the US Patents and Trademark Office, and has been an editor of several academic journals in Computer Science. Furthermore, between 1998-2000, he was a member of Executive Committee on Information Technology of the Confederation of the Indian Industry (CII) and the Telecom Committee of Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). During 2002 and 2005, he was on the executive board of TiE’s (The Indus Entrepreneur). In 2008, Dr. Aggarwal received Distinguished Alumnus Award from IIT Delhi. In December 2000, he published a book titled, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution & 100 Years of AI (1950-2050)”, which is available on Amazon and other book stores.

Hind Kurhan is the co-founder of Thesis Defense and a veteran of the security auditing space. She transitioned into the web3 space after building a career in operations and project management in web2 and international humanitarian work. Prior to joining Thesis as a Founder in Residence and co-founding Thesis Defense, she led business development and partnerships and ConsenSys Diligence and was the Director of Security Consulting at Least Authority.
As a result of her personal, academic, and professional background, both in technology and international development — and after direct exposure to people disenfranchised as a result of the struggle for power and the inequitable distribution of income, goods, and resources — Hind’s unique upbringing instilled a passion to promote and work towards a world where justice prevails over power.
Hind believes that web3 is one of the vehicles for that to be realized by providing equitable access to technology, opportunity, and assets — in addition to promoting autonomy, anonymity, and self-sovereignty. By applying the core tenets of web3, Hind hopes we can together resolve global issues as it pertains to privacy and security, gender, access to capital, the disparity in income and wealth, the impacts of climate change on the disenfranchised, and conflicts arising from global hegemony.

Jack Gibson is an international. serial entrepreneur and financial thought leader. He began his journey at 19 in direct sales from his college dorm room in a nutrition distribution company, where he built a multi-million dollar venture before he was old enough to rent a car. After a series of stock market setbacks, he became obsessed with learning everything about Real Estate Investing and built another multi-million dollar portfolio generating passive income.
But who is this Jack guy, really?
He's a proud parent of two boys who make it their mission to bring out his inner teenager. When he's not playing around with them or focusing on business ventures, he's playing high stakes poker (he's competed in the World Series of Poker and has been known to lose several thousand dollars on a single hand) or he's attempting snowboard jumps that have landed him in the ER. He's not perfect. He's made plenty of costly mistakes in business and investing, that put him in the depths of depression. But he fought through it and has turned those mistakes into lessons he can teach aspiring entrepreneurs and wealth builders.

Gleb Zamyatin, MSc is a very successful businessman in the corporate world. To be exact, recently his startup fuels24.com was valued at $7.5 mln. "Gleb" worked as a CEO at a leading energy middle-market investment bank where he raised capital and bought middle-market energy businesses on a daily basis. One day an unseen force pushed Gleb to pause and examine his life and career. Gleb wondered, what is actually important to him? What, if anything, does he really enjoy about mergers and acquisitions? Then, the voices of the Universe called to him and showed him that these questions were about much more than just himself. Gleb realized that what he loved most was guiding, encouraging, and supporting people, showing them how to be the best they could be. Gleb felt the light of the universe filling him with a sense of purpose. He realized that this was more than his goal in life, he understood that he had been given a sacred mission on Earth. He was shown the pain, the suffering the entirety of the unrealized potential amongst us. He saw the full oppressive strength of our social preconditioning, he saw us struggle and toil in hate, jealousy, and greed in vain. Gleb had awoken and seen clearly that he must be a guide, a friend, a master, that he had the power and the duty to show people the true way of awareness and conscious being. He had to show people the sacredness within themselves which they couldn’t find on their own. Gleb decided to redirect all of his time and energy to focus on sharing the wisdom he’d acquired. He decided to help people develop their potential fully, to teach them the life lessons they needed to learn in order to achieve their dreams.

He said “Yes,” and the rest is now success history and still paying dividends for Mr. Jones to this very day.
UNITED STATES TREASURY DEPARTMENT After leaving the Air Force, Mr. Jones entered the U.S. Treasury Department as a Senior Network Operations Center Engineer. 100’s of Millions of Dollars are spent to teach STEALTH Program Members how to “Think Differently”, “Outside-The-Box.” Mr. Jones began applying said methodologies gained from the STEALTH Program to solve long-standing problems within the Treasury Department and thus, he began creating solutions that were adopted Agency-wide.

Justin Trevor Winters… yes, he goes by all three of his names which seems a little extravagant… is the Co-Founder & CEO of Verified Labs, an award-winning team of Web3 producers, artists, and architects building the biggest and most unforgettable experiences in the Metaverse. He began his career in the entertainment industry representing writers and directors including Stuart Beattie, writer and creator of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and Kathryn Bigelow, the first female director to win an Academy Award. What Justin didn’t realize is that when you’re surrounded by talent, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have talent, but he decided to pursue his own screenwriting career anyway. Lucky for him, his very first feature, Killing Winston Jones, a dark-comedy about killing yourself in order to leave a legacy, was produced and starred Richard Dreyfuss, Danny Glover and Jon Heder. He obviously peaked, and people began to think he was a much more accomplished writer than he actually was, which led to a full-time assistant professor position at Loyola Marymount, a top 10 screenwriting school mind you, and countless lectures at conferences and universities around the world. Did I mention he was nominated for an Outstanding Teacher Award? He didn’t win of course, but he’d blame that on “optics.” He currently oversees the vision and ongoing operations of Verified Labs. His goal is to create a virtual version of Universal Studios, and his five-year plan slash exit strategy includes a monumental acquisition and several Mai Tai’s on a beach in the Caribbean... or just the metaverse.

Jamil chats with Matt Dixon from EVAI to learn more about this interesting project.
Discovering the True Underlying Economic Value with Research and Ratings Methodologies that Leverage AI and Machine Learning, with Matt Dixon and EVAI
Matt Dixon, CEO and Founder of Evai.iohas over 30 years of experience in the financial services sector. A former consultant to the World Bank and FCA CF30 accredited financial advisor, he has been inspired to use his experience to bridge the worlds of traditional finance and digital asset investment.Before founding Evai in 2019, Matt designed and implemented successful algorithmically traded funds regulated by the FCA. The concept for the Evai.io business was formed when he returned to education to study his MsC at the University of Brighton, where he was introduced to Professor Andros Gregoriou.During the course of his studies, Matt and Andros discussed the failure of financial ratings during the 2008 economic crisis and debated ways in which the learnings could be applied to the fast-growing cryptocurrency sector. The vision was to create a world-first decentralised and unbiased cryptoasset ratings platform driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning.Over the last two years, Matt has evolved the Evai cryptocurrency ratings concept from an exploratory whitepaper into a fully-fledged crypto technology company that has attracted over $5m in funding and currently employs 50 staff. The sellout funding rounds have enabled the Evai team to fast track the ratings platform development with the Evai Ratings launching in May 2021.Evai OverviewFounded in the UK in 2019, Evai has set up its global HQ in Dubai’s CV Lab ecosystem offices within the new DMCC Crypto Centre, which is rapidly establishing itself as a hub for the development and application of crypto and blockchain technologies
Evai has pioneered the world’s first decentralised and unbiased cryptoasset ratings platform to allow investors to assess the true value of crypto, DeFi and NFT assets. The unbiased platform is needed in the marketplace which is now worth over $2 Trillion and features over 12,000 assets.
Ratings on 1000+ cryptoassets are now available on the Evai platform and over 2,000 will be available by the end of 2021. Access to the Evai ratings is free and users can sign up at Evai.io
$5 million has been raised to fund and fast track the development of the industry leading Evai ratings platform, which is built on world renowned economic research and driven by AI and ML
Leading economic research developed by Professor Andros Gregoriou of the University of Brighton has been used to develop and optimise the unbiased Evai cryptoasset ratings platform.
Professor Andros Gregoriou of The University of Brighton, Co-Founder and Chief Research Officer at Evai, has written over 100 leading research papers and has presented his work to the CFA, FCA, London Stock Exchange and is an advisor to the Bank of England.
His globally recognised work includes the 2011 Liquidity Asset Pricing Model and 2019 Seven Factor Pricing Model, which was developed following analysis of 80 years of data from all US listed securities between 1927-2014. Professor Gregoriou has developed the unique multi-factor model to provide an autonomous solution for universally recognised unbiased ratings on all cryptoassets
Dr. Marwan Al Zarouni, CEO of Dubai Blockchain Center has recently joined the Evai team as a Blockchain advisor and has been working on initiatives to develop the platform and grow adoption via education programmes and events in the region.

Jamil talks with Jeremy Kauffman, Founder and CEO of LBRY and Odysee in a really interesting conversation about the potential for a freer and less corporate controlled environment for online content creators.
Big Tech and the Securities Exchange Commission: Good Sportsmen, Unfair Censors, or Common Thugs?, with Jeremy Kauffman, Founder and CEO of LBRY and Odysee
Jeremy created LBRY because he fell in love with the idea of a shared, global content network that is owned and controlled by no one. LBRY is now used by more than 20 million people each month.
There's certainly people who join LBRY because of YouTube's restrictive policies, but there's lots of other reasons:
On YouTube, you build a following owned by Google. On LBRY, you build a following that cannot be taken away. On YouTube, you lose 30-50% of revenue to Google. On LBRY, you lose nothing (odysee.com may take a cut eventually, but you're not trapped in the same way, since everything is open source / forkable) On YouTube, you're the product. On LBRY, you're an owner and have much more control (psychologically appealing even if you're not breaking any rules) On LBRY, funds settle in minutes with no minimums
You can tell the broad appeal LBRY has from all of the creators on it, compared to what you'll see on "alts", which typically is only the content that gets in trouble.

Representing traders financially injured on Binance and the importance of Blockchain Ethics with David Kay @ Liti Capital
David Kay
Executive Chairman & Chief Investment Ofcer, Liti Capital
NYC-based David Kay is the Executive Chairman and Chief Investment Ofcer of Liti Capital. A qualified lawyer and investment banker, and one of the most successful and in-demand litigation finance strategists in the history of the 15-year-old litigation finance industry, David joined Liti Capital in early 2021.
Before joining Liti Capital, David provided board representation, corporate governance, capital raising, and strategic planning advisory services to several public and private multi-billion dollar organizations.

While at the fund, David conceived and developed an investment strategy that focused on investing in (i) international commercial litigations and arbitrations and (ii) other complex special situations.

David led the deployment of capital at the funds, and he was responsible for building out the entire team and executing the strategy across approximately 40 investments in more than 17 countries.

Representative cases included: Delta Airlines, Loral Space & Communications, Calpine Corporation, Anchor Glass Container Corporation and Vertis Communications.David earned his Bachelor of Arts in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania.

James Fahy, with his co-founder, Ciara Walsh are the brains behind the most flexible and robust cashless tip payment service on the market.
As the Covid pandemic was at its height, James had noticed that cash was literally disappearing from sight as the whole world embraced digital and mobile based payment systems. As a result, when businesses finally started to reopen, thousands of service and hospitality staff saw their income drastically reduced because no one had any cash to tip. In addition, the customers that added a tip to the bill often did not know if their server got the tip.
James realised that something had to be done and JUSTTIP™ was born in July 2021
Since then, James and Ciara have successfully on boarded over 160 locations across Ireland and built an executive management team brimming with talent and experience. But that was just the start; Justtip is now live in London and Las Vegas.

The Artistic Expression of War to Improve the Environment and Re-establish Masculine Identity with Bran Symondson
Bran Symondson is a British photographer, artist, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and art collector.
He is considered to be one of the most acclaimed reportage photographers of the 21st Century. Bran started his career in the 1990s working alongside renowned photographers such as Gavin Bond, David La Chapelle, and Nadav Kander.
In 2004, Bran started the selection process to join the British Army Special Forces Reserves. After completing pre-deployment training in 2007, Bran was deployed to Afghanistan, Helmand Province.
During the tour in Afghanistan, Bran continued to capture images on his camera of the civilians he met along the way, collating images of the land and people - he vowed to himself he will create some inspiring art if he ever made it back to London. He documented his life-changing experiences under gunfire with a simple Canon G9 camera, these significant images culminated in his first show “The Best View of Heaven is from Hell”.
The photographs Bran took of young Afghanistan boys holding decorated AK47s with butterfly stickers and flowers gave Bran the idea to embellish the assault rifle with money and butterflies.
It was during his last tour of duty training the Afghan National Police (ANP), which now patrols this province, that Symondson became fascinated with the force’s distinctive ethos. So he returned as a civilian photographer “embedded” with them to document something far more unique than the endless fields of opium.
The Sunday Times decided to commission Bran to go back to Afghanistan and re-shoot the images as a civilian photographer. After being awarded the 2011 Amnesty International Media Award for his photograph “Lost Boys”, Symondson decided to develop the concept of his photographs further and he began to work on the sell-out show “AKA Peace”.

Leveraging Virtual Data Rooms and Title Registry for Crypto Adoption, and Accounts from the PayPal Wars with Eric Jackson at TransitNet
Eric M. Jackson Early-PayPal. Technology Executive and Serial Entrepreneur. Author of “The PayPal Wars.”
Eric M. Jackson is a technology executive who played a critical role in building PayPal and subsequently created multiple successful businesses. An award-winning author and sought-after speaker, Jackson is part of the so-called PayPal Mafia that went on to found and develop some of the world’s top technology companies.
Early in his career, after a brief stint as a financial consultant, Jackson was recruited by Peter Thiel to join the startup team at PayPal. There he served as PayPal’s first head of U.S. marketing and oversaw its initial product marketing efforts. At a critical moment when the young company was bleeding millions of dollars each month, Jackson was placed in charge of developing and implementing PayPal’s transaction-based revenue model, which helped turn around its fortunes and lead it to profitability. During Jackson’s time at PayPal, the company grew from 2,500 users to 25 million, went public, and was acquired by eBay.
Currently, Jackson is the CEO and co-founder of CapLinked, a venture-backed technology company that develops cloud-based information control software. Dubbed the “go-to place for setting up and closing deals” by the Wall Street Journal, CapLinked’s diverse list of global clients include Amazon, Ernst & Young, FTI Consulting, Roche, Founders Fund, Hess, KPMG, Takeda, and many others.
Jackson is also the co-founder of TransitNet, a fintech company that provides tools to assist with title verification for cryptocurrencies. The company’s title registry service allows parties to generate a trusted third-party record of ownership for crypto wallets. Additionally, following his time at PayPal, Jackson founded a venture called World Ahead Media, which he grew to profitability before it was acquired. He also served on the boards of a number of organizations and technology startups, including CritiqueIt, Inc., a collaboration software company that was acquired in 2018 by 2U, Inc. (Nasdaq: TWOU).
His book, The PayPal Wars, which chronicles the tumultuous origins of PayPal, won the Writers Notes Book Award and was hailed by Tom Peters as “the best description of business strategy unfolding in a world changing at warp speed.”
A frequent commentator on technology and policy, Jackson has appeared on Bloomberg, CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC, and he has been quoted in publications ranging from The Economist to the New York Times. Jackson has spoken at conferences around the world, including the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul, the Lang Di Fintech Conference in Shanghai, and the inaugural Reboot Conference in San Francisco. He also served as the keynote speaker at events hosted by the Cato Institute, the Reason Foundation, and the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. Jackson graduated with honors from Stanford University, where he was editor-in-chief of The Stanford Review, studied overseas in Moscow, and served as a student representative on the university’s Board of Trustees. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.

Jonathan Dickson
About the artist
Born in Dublin, Jonathan is a Kildare based visual artist. After graduating from the National College of Art and Design in 1991 he went on to lead a successful career as a multi-award winning illustrator and designer. During 2006 he dedicated himself to further artistic development outside the design industry. Positive reaction to work created subsequently led him to make the decision to leave this career behind and commit full time to painting. Since then he has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
His work is held in public, corporate and private collections in Ireland, Europe and the USA. He has also been the recipient of a number of public, corporate and private commissions.
Artist statement
I paint and document what I experience around me (the visceral as much as the visual) as acutely as I can. Certain places and objects I experience resonate and won’t let me go until I work through them, sometimes I know why during the process and sometimes the obsession is revealed afterwards. I’m ever increasingly aware that hindsight reveals far more about my work than anything I could ever conceive up front and I’m happy to allow this to continue (for now). Allied to this I have a deep curiosity about the nature of perception and memory (both visual and conceptual) and how it affects the subjects that call to me.

Here are some of the things they discussed
- What is your own background? It is a logical background to what you do now?
2.Give us with a brief overview of Blockchain Coinvestors and Fifth Era along with an overview of your investment mandate principles.
-
You are a best selling author and researcher. You recently conducted an in-depth focus study of 10,000 institutional investors and high net worth individuals about some common myths and fears concerning Bitcoin. Could you please provide us a snapshot of some of your key findings? What were they?
-
The #1 fear was Bitcoin isn’t safe to own. How do you feel about that result and what measures do you feel would support your investors in changing their minds?
-
Of the remaining concerns, what one most surprised you and why?
-
What result did you most expect to see but maybe expected a larger percentage of concern? Why?
-
Bitcoin has only been adopted by a small number of Fortune 1000 companies publicly, including Microstrategy and Tesla. The actual number is in contrast to your focus group findings about Wall Street greed, though both your HNW audience and my blue collar friends feel the same way. How do you see, in actuality, Bitcoin and Wall Street playing out in the short, medium and long term?
-
What do you think it will take to really achieve mass adoption?
-
In addition to Bitcoin, I noticed your firm recently took on coin investments in both Aave and Uniswap, which are open sourced decentralized protocols on the Ethereum network. As an Aave investor, that captivated my interest. I would expect a Silicon Valley VC to be more interested in a VC backed crypto such as Maker or Compound. What prompted your interest in Aave and Uniswap?

Jamil talks with Victor Gry, from Kiev to understand what is happening on the ground there. See more on their YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY8sDvZdWEA
What is your background? Is it a logical background for what you have been doing up until now?
Hi Jamil
Thank you for the opportunity to communicate with you. Russia started a war against the civilian population of Ukraine. At the moment, hostilities on the side of Russia continue for the seventh day. And my experience as a journalist tells me about the need to tell what is happening in my country to the citizens of Europe. Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24 at 5:00 am, when the civilian population was sleeping, unaware of Putin's terrible plans. Of course, today, the second of March, the key to victory is the united actions of Ukrainians in the struggle for their freedom. It is understandable and pleasant that we receive support from the European Union and the understanding that Ukraine can become a full-fledged member of the community. Ukrainians proved their masculinity, unbreakable temper and will to win not by word but by deed.
Your communication tower was struck late last night. What’s the current state of affairs where you are in Kyiv?
Ukraine is being invaded throughout the country. You probably know that the President of Belarus, Lukashenko, adopted a number of amendments to the constitution of Belarus in an emergency referendum, which now makes it possible to place nuclear weapons on the territory of the country. Two dictators, Putin and Lukashenko, should be brought before the tribunal, the court in The Hague intends to investigate the crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine. Their actions are a direct threat today not only to Ukraine, but also to Europe. You can observe the rhetoric of some of the leaders of the Kremlin towards Europe. From Belarus, fighter jets are flying towards us, bombing not only military bases, but also civilians, who are forced to hide in the basements of their houses from bomb attacks. One of these attacks was intended to leave the country without television, one rocket was aimed at destroying the TV tower in Kyiv, and the second rocket bombed the Babi Yar Holocaust memorial complex.
Now the connection is established, the blow was inflicted on the building of the control room near the TV tower. The building where people worked.
What is happening in Ukraine, you can see directly
broadcasts on YouTube channels. It is pleasant to realize that volunteers are coming to Ukraine from 16 countries of the world who are ready to fight shoulder to shoulder with the Ukrainian people against the aggressor. Their total number has already exceeded 1000 people.
You organized a volunteer organization. What is your organization doing right now? Fighting? Mobilizing people? How’s it going?
Volunteer organizations work in Kiev, and my son is organizing in one of them. As a journalist, I keep in touch with them. All forces have been gathered to fight to prevent the capture of the Capital. The territorial defense, created from the men of Kyiv, is designed to prevent looting in the city during the curfew. A very active mobilization of people, the civilian population helps the military and local activists from the territorial defense in cooking, there are volunteer centers for cooking and providing food.
We need help to purchase and provide food, essential goods to everyone who is now on the defensive and in the mobile volunteer groups in Kyiv.

Hi I am from Ukraine, I am 25 years old. I work as an IT specialist, I have my own web development team, designers, programmers and other specialists. Now I'm in my apartment, but we sounded sirens all night and we were sitting in bomb shelters, today the Russians dropped bombs on our city again, several dozen people were injured and several died, people are buried in the backyards of their homes, it's very awful in relation to ordinary civilians. You can probably see this in the news. Yesterday in Irpin near Kyiv, terrorists killed a journalist from the United States who worked and showed the truth to the New York Times. Two more of his comrades were injured and are currently in hospital in Kyiv.
Crypto worms is my own NFT project that I started creating six months ago. Most of the NFT from it was sold in the beginning and now people are just trading it. The game itself is for 2 people who play in battle with each other with different skills and weapons (the game is still under development.) These are people who trade NFT for resale and people who want to wait for the release of a game where they can reproduce their NFT to treat others, receive crypto tokens worms and health elixirs. Crypto game is not just a game, you can play it and earn more. 5. pUtin is a small man who is not friendly with the head and creates big problems for the whole world, Ukraine suffers the most in this confrontational people are losing their homes. The city of Mariupol, where 500,000 people lived, has been wiped off the face of the earth. It is scary to look at it. Now everyone is helping the country as best they can, some are volunteering to prepare food for soldiers and refugees, some are defending our land and their city with a machine gun. I, in turn, joined the funds and decided to make a charity project for people who lost their homes and to support our army, our army is many times smaller than the Russian, but our people are much smarter. Pictures for the NFT project are ready now I am working with NFT crypto markets where we will be added.
The project already has the name Strong Ukraine. Each picture of the project is unique and reflects the strength of spirit of the people. The NFT theme has been popular for a year now. I also successfully trade various collections and help with creation. Now there are a lot of videos on YouTube to create a collection in different languages, everyone can understand this. Or write to me if you want to trade or create your own collections, I can help if I am interested in the project. I have 50 unique pictures and the time provided is no longer needed as my collection is created in one style and other creators will find it difficult to understand my style. Now there is a greater need for advertising the project on a large scale not only in Ukraine but around the world. We now buy a lot of helmets and body armor, as well as night vision devices and thermal imagers. All this is needed. Now our volunteers bring us money, we buy it with money donated by people and add our own when needed.
To say what you can help us need to understand what country you are from and how you can help. It is a financial aid whether you can buy the things we need and transfer or accept women with children. Sites such as solsea and solanart help in the quick verification procedure, and I will ask them to post on the main page and on social networks as much as possible. The Crypto worms project has nothing to do with the Strong Ukraine charity project, these are different projects. Soon we will win over and return our territories, and all the partners who supported us and the people who helped financially and in all other ways will celebrate our common victory. Glory to Ukraine!

He is also a startup investor and mentor at Singularity University and StartX. He is a member of the AIMA blockchain committee and Digital Currency Trade Association (DCTA).
About Swarm Markets (website)
Acceleration of digital transformation and historically low interest rates is pushing more capital onto the Blockchain. With increasing regulatory crackdowns on the crypto industry, companies in the sector are responding in different ways.
Swarm Markets is skating to where the puck is heading by having authorisation from The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), from day one. It's licensed protocol will be the first of its kind to enable retail and institutional market participants to trade both crypto and digitised traditional financial instruments, like securities and commodities, in one place.
We know institutions need to work with licensed platforms that remove counterparty risk and give access to legally digitised tokens in order to access DeFi. This is demonstrated by the 1,500+ people signed up to our liquidity provider programme who have pledged over $45 million in assets.
In the future, there will not be a difference between TradFi and DeFi, rather everything integrates as 'Fi'. We know we will have achieved our goal to integrate traditional finance with the DeFi ecosystem, when people will access financial products and services and without even realising they're on the blockchain.

David “Oz” Osterczy is a multi-award winning abstract visual artist described as a “digital impressionist.”
Displaying from New York to Los Angeles, Oz has brought joy and creativity to the masses for over a decade. His unique visual interpretations of nature stand out and elicit questions and curiosity from patrons and clients.

During the Covid-19 protocols of 2020 Oz shifted all work to online. After repeatedly being asked “how do you do that?” pertaining to his abstracts, Oz realized that people truly wanted to know “how he does that” and began to teach free online courses in Digital Abstract Art creation to give back to a society hungry for beauty and community.
“I am of service to mankind, and I serve with my creations” is his credo. “My art is unique in several ways. First it is infused with Reiki healing energy to not just be a joy for your senses, but to heal you mind, body, and soul. And I can match any color, any pattern to produce a perfect match for any space, anywhere!”
Oz has won several awards for his service to mankind that have nothing to do with art. When need or disaster strike, Oz shows up. After Hurricane Sandy on the east coast in 2012, Oz volunteered for 20 straight months of weekends to gut and rebuild hundreds of homes in New York and New Jersey. He flew down to Texas after Hurricane Harvey to assist along the Texas/Louisiana border and Houston. And when hungry children are in need, Oz delivers food backpacks to schools so that the kids can eat over the weekends.
If you are a decision maker in need of unique, abstract art, Oz will guide you to a joyful direction. His dream contacts are interior designers that deal with high net-worth clients, or anyone in the position to display his artwork in large commercial spaces.

This positive and practical initiative has been launched with the goal of making an immediate and timely action to help in Ukraine. See more on the Safe Harbour for Ukraine website here and on the gofundme page here.bour for Ukraine website here and on the gofundme page here.
Safe Harbour for Ukraine
A group of friends in Ireland are sending a bus filled with essential supplies to the Polish/Ukraine border and are returning with 40 women and children displaced by war.
The goal is to provide accommodation and integration support for our guests for as long as is necessary. They will be treated with dignity and respect.
This is a community based project with support from Cronin’s Coaches, Dennehy Commercials, and the enormous goodwill of the Irish people.
The bus is leaving on St Patrick’s Day and will return approximately five days later. We are relying 100% on the goodwill of people in Ireland to make this happen. If you can help, especially by providing shelter in your home we’d love to hear from you. If you can’t provide shelter we have a list of urgently needed supplies below. In the coming days we will launch a GoFundMe page so you can make a cash donation.
Our GoFundMe page is here.
OFFERING ACCOMMODATION
Finding suitable accommodation for our guests is the most challenging part. Your help would be greatly appreciated. You might have a spare bedroom you can offer, or even an entire property that’s not fully used. Right now we’re looking for properties in Cork and Limerick city, preferably within walking distance of shops and a bus route.
It’s a big thing to offer a room in your home. Most of our guests do not have fluent, or even any, English. They’ve all been through a horrific experience. None of us know how long this war will go on for but we would ask that if you are making a commitment it is for at least three months.
If you feel you could help, please fill out the form by clicking here
DONATING ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES
Refugees arriving at the Polish/Ukrainian border are tired, hungry and many are sick. We are providing supplies to those who have managed to cross the border and make it safely into Poland.
If you can help we would greatly appreciate it. Please pack goods ideally into cardboard boxes or transparent plastic bags, label them, and deliver them to us at Cronin’s Coaches in Cork (Eircode: T23 A0CX), or Dennehy Motors in Limerick (V94 FYY6).

Cool interview by Jamil with English graffiti legend Darren Cullen aka SER
Graffiti Artist Darren Cullen aka SER from South London began his graffiti career way back in 1983 aged 10 years old, at the very birth of British graffiti. His path in graffiti started like many graffiti artists with the birth of hip-hop culture in the early 80s. Exploring every aspect of the graffiti-writing scene SER found himself emblazoning his name across the streets and walls of London. This led to a greater need to increase his presence to the public so began the systematic destruction of the train networks and rail infrastructure across the UK & the world. There then comes a point in every graffiti artist’s life when their illegal activity becomes of great interest to the Police and having a prison cell as a second home isn’t that appealing so SER needed to rethink. This spurred SER into forming the Graffiti Kings collective with some of the world’s best graffiti & street artists to go legit and take on the world. Darren Cullen aka SER - Graffiti Kings founder/head honcho/artist
The only Graffiti Artist approved by the British Government & official Graffiti Artist for the London2012 Games..... Just saying

Musician and collective conscious cyborg Orrin, releases a new eco-friendly NFT album in collaboration with Mintbase
Fascinating interview by Jamil.
Orrin is a collective conscious and cyborg sent by a higher civilization to warn humans about the incoming apocalypse. Orrin was discovered by millions through a series of viral clips pulled from an episode of the Dr. Phil Show. Orrin’s mother and sister, concerned about Orrin’s realization, appeared with Orrin to seek help from Dr. Phil. Orrin’s composure throughout the show, along with much of what is said throughout the episode, has hooked viewers, leading to thousands of jokes in the comment section of the video.
So who is Orrin?
Orrin graduated from NYU’s Stern Business School with a 3.9 GPA, but everything changed following this. For the last couple of years, according to their mother, Orrin has claimed to be a music-making cyborg. Orrin is a collective, and therefore speaks using “we”, not “I”, a particular element of the Orrin persona that “borg” fans have gravitated towards. There are many notable quotes from the episode, such as “we are not hungry, thank you” and “we are not a fan of bananas, so we remove those,” which have drawn people further into Orrin’s persona. Orrin seems to embrace these jokes without breaking character.
Press release -
We are very excited to announce the NFT collaboration between Mintbase and a cyborg from the future called Orrin.
Orrin is choosing Mintbase and NEAR to deliver this message using a series of NFTs combined with the release of the cyborg’s new album, MUTANT

In his entrepreneurship, Sam is always looking for ways to help out others and protect our planet. This same philosophy will be applied to Sam’s extracurricular endeavor to mitigate the climate impact of his DJ activities as much as possible. He is aware of the fact that as a DJ he flies all over the world and thus has a large carbon footprint. For this reason, his flight behavior is measured and calculated, visitors to Heartfeldt events are asked about their way of transport to his shows and 1% of the stream earnings of Heartfeldt Records releases goes to Heartfeldt Foundation. “The whole idea is to maximize the impact of what I’m doing,” Sam elaborates. “The transition to a circular economy is something that we are all part of and I think companies and people who are trying to do their best for the environment, should get attention and support.” As an ambassador of Plastic Promise, Plastic Soup Foundation and partner of Blond:ish Bye Bye Plastic, many positive adjustments are already made within the events sector. Sam Feldt believes sustainability is needed in all areas of our consumption. He is therefore open to working with all interested parties in order to investigate the ways in which life, from everyday consumption of food and drinks to flying and performing music, can be made sustainable.

Hey all! My name is Stephanie Ishler. I am a self-taught American artist and internet personality.Born and raised in small town Pennsylvania, I spent over 6 years in South Korea.

There I live with my husband and two cats who frequently appear as subjects in my paintings, and inspired my NFTs.

Leveraging Blockchain Technology to Reunite Families Impacted by Failures in Local Judicial Court Systems, with Kristine Smith
Kristine A. Smith is a Star Producer and Ambassador for the Erasing Family Documentary, (www.erasingfamily.org) a free non-profit feature-length film about family court induced trauma and real-life reunifications , the film is endorsed by the American Psychological Association. This film is designed to help erased kids open up to reuniting with their parents.
Kristine Smith has been written about in Jamil Hasan's bookBlock Chain Ethics, in Chapter 4 "Cracking the Glass Ceiling". Jamil writes of Krissy’s sudden status as a newly minted “bitcoin” millionaire in 2017 and her struggles as a “non-custodial” parent and her ongoing custody battle in Chester County Pennsylvania “Family” Court. Jamil details the story of how Krissy made money on cryptocurrency to donate to Ginger Gentile the Director of the Erasing Family social impact documentary, in order to make it free and available to educate the masses (including divorce attorneys!!) on the mental health crisis caused by “Family” Court..
Krissy Smith has been a proud and loud voice for the #PsychiatricSurvivor and the #FreeBritney movements. In the state of Pennsylvania, Krissy is an advocate for 50-50 Shared Parenting. She believes that anything less than that will perpetuate the mental health crisis underlying many suicides, homicides, and mass shootings in our society. Smith doesn’t want others to suffer the same fate she has, missing out on the holidays with her offspring. To achieve that goal, she has been rallying support for HB 1397, a proposed Parenting Time bill in Pennsylvania. This bill promotes gender equality in custody determinations and aims to protect the right of children to continue to have both parents meaningfully involved in their lives following a separation or divorce.

The Power that Improvements on Supply Chains using Blockchain has on Global Social Impact, with Samantha Ouyang and TKS
This is part 2 of a 4 part continuing series on the Knowledge Society Samantha Ouyang, TKS Activator
Samantha is a 17 y/o TKS Activator who has been working in blockchain research and development for the past 18 months, taking special interest in the social impact of blockchain. She first started off by researching cryptography, the technical workings behind blockchain, and current limitations, publishing her own articles and videos explaining technical components and reviewing interesting applications. She then moved into blockchain development after teaching herself Solidity, building her own decentralized applications (dApps) and other blockchain-related projects to tackle global issues. This included dApps and frameworks to secure property rights in developing countries, prevent cyberattacks on nuclear power plants, render the pet industry more transparent, combat bias in AI, and reduce blood donation expiry, winning hackathons and other competitions that allowed her to present her ideas to companies such as S&P Global. Her efforts compounded and she was soon presented with a job offer.
For 5 months, she worked as a smart contract developer at ViewFin, a global fintech company based in Toronto and Shanghai. As the youngest employee, she integrated a decentralized indexing protocol into the company's token exchange platform and spearheaded her own project there to prevent child labour in the chocolate supply chain. Over the summer, she got to conduct research on smart contract evolution under the guidance of a professor at the University of Waterloo as well. As she grew her network in the blockchain enterprise solutions community, she has also gotten the chance to moderate fireside chats with leaders in the blockchain industry and spark insightful conversations on the potential of blockchain in ESG. She hopes to take her work in blockchain further by delving into IoT, bridging the gap between hardware and software so that she can innovate with the synergized power of both.

Paddy Power is a veteran of the gaming industry. As a fourth generation ‘bookie’ he has helped create, develop and ultimately personify one of the wagering world’s most famous brands, ‘Paddy Power’.Paddy Power (the brand!) is a cornerstone of the Flutter Group, which has grown to become the world’s leading gaming and wagering company, with brands including Fanduel under its umbrella.Paddy’s expertise throughout his career has been mainly focussed on the fearless pursuit of creating an iconic, relevant and relatable brand.
Paddy Power has consistently been the most famous betting brand in the UK & Ireland and has won countless awards for various campaigns over the past two decades, both within and outside it’s sector.Paddy’s successful campaigns are as varied as setting up a ‘bookie stall’ in St. Peter’s Square to shout odds on the next Pope during the 2005 Papal Election (the Vatican Guard were none too pleased!), to launching a ‘Rainbow Laces’ campaign, persuading Premier League footballers to wear Rainbow Laces to raise awareness of homophobia in Football.‘What would nobody else dare do?’ Is a question Paddy and his team often asked, and the answer invariably led to an unexpected and successful campaign. Like persuading Prof. Stephen Hawking to become a Paddy Power brand Ambassador for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 2014 - his job was to mathematically calculate how to take the perfect penalty to help England get over their awful record in penalty shootouts….as it turned out England were so bad they didn’t make it far enough in the tournament to even have a penalty shoot out!
In more recent times Paddy has hosted a 26 show series of The Green Room, a weekly sports & entertainment show on Irish national TV, and has made various sports and culture documentaries on behalf of Paddy Power (the brand) as they spread their reach away from the traditional core territories.This type of uninhibited, creative thinking and action (along with a vastly superior social following to its peers) has consistently been the difference which has created an unrivalled brand affinity among Paddy Power advocates.As a founder and President of ASX, Paddy's ambition is to facilitate a new era of engagement among sports fans where they can be entertained on their own terms rather than the more traditional terms of those gone before.
