  Play It Right - The Remarkable...

  A real-life underdog tale of one man turning the tables on the casinos and Wall Street without selling his soul to the devil
  		 
  All around the world, the words “Wall Street” conjure up a powerful image. For some, it is the center of America’s capitalist system and the engine of its economic growth. For others, it is the home of rapacious bankers and reckless traders whose greed would lead to a global financial crisis. For an Indian-born blackjack player, Wall Street represented something else entirely — a chance for him to play in the largest casino in the world.
  		 
  Kamal Gupta’s improbable journey, from a wide-eyed Indian immigrant to an ultimate insider in the rarefied world of investment banks and hedge funds, is a uniquely American story. Nowhere else would it have been possible for a scrawny computer scientist to enter the world of high finance solely on the basis of his gambling abilities. After spending seven years creating an investment methodology, Gupta went on an incredible run, generating an unprecedented 103 consecutive months of positive returns while managing money at large hedge funds. His success did not go unnoticed, and he found himself under constant pressure to take bigger risks to make even more money. He refused and always played it right, knowing that there was such a thing as “enough” money, something very few, if any, of his Wall Street peers understood.
  		 
  Much like Maria Konnikova’s bestseller, The Biggest Bluff, Play It Right isn’t so much about money as it is about the human condition and beating the odds, whether at a casino, on Wall Street, or in life itself.

  Brain training, which is also known as cognitive training, is a memorandum of normal activities to retain or enhance one's cognitive skills. Typically the term cognitive skills apply to flexible intelligence elements such as working memory function and professional memory. Cognitive training represents the idea that by exercising the brain, cognitive abilities can be retained or improved, similarly to how the exercise of the body enhances physical health.  
  Brain training can take place in several ways, such as physical fitness training, engaging in online games or performing cognitive assignments in conjunction with a training schedule, playing video games involving visuospatial thinking, and participating in distinct activities such as dance, music, and painting. Numerous surveys have shown that life-long facets of brain structure remain plastic to the core. Brain plasticity represents the brain's aptitude to adapt and evolve as an environmental response.  
  Reports in cognitive training often decipher neuroanatomic ideologies like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to research how training influences the structure and function of the brain. There is a broad discourse within the scientific clan about the feasibility of brain training systems and controversy as regards the ethics of applying brain training technologies to prospective undefended topics.
