Floe Oral Care receive £419k of grant funding from Innovate UK to combine artificial intelligence and salivary diagnostics

Floe

Floe Oral Care, a London-based healthtech startup, has won a grant for the development of its oral health test to monitor oral and systemic health through the power of saliva.The funding will enable the team to develop a machine learning algorithm that will search for patterns in order to uncover new insights and make predictions about the development of oral disease and its impact on the rest of the body. These insights will subsequently drive behaviour changes, both in terms of product and lifestyle recommendations, and the need for professional dental care. Our mouth is the primary gateway to our body, serving as the first line of defense against pathogens or, in cases of poor oral health, opening the floodgates to infection and inflammation throughout the body. A growing body of scientific literature shows how chronic inflammation of the mouth increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even Alzheimers, and yet we continue to treat our oral health as an afterthought. Floe wants to change that by giving oral health its rightful place as a fundamental pillar of overall health and wellbeing. “Everyone knows prevention is better than cure. In reality though, getting access to some of the most impactful and motivating information there is — data about how you’re really doing on the inside —is extremely difficult and costly” Floe co-founder and CEO William Welton says. The NHS is an incredible institution and is mostly ‘free’ but because it’s so challenging to access, people have to wait until they’re sick before lifting the lid on their bodies. The consequence? We’re locked in a reactive health paradigm. Until now, people haven’t been able to access the tools that enable them to take control; to own and to make better decisions about their health. By providing them with key insights, Floe’s aim is not only to empower and motivate the user but also to help the NHS direct resources to where they are most needed. Floe’s current investors include Holland & Barrett and various high-profile angels in the healthcare and commercial sectors. Recent Floe investor Avi Lasarow, who founded DNAfitand took Prenetics public on Nasdaq as CEO commented: “ Withover 20 years experience building innovative health businesses, I know you need the perfect combination of team and tech, and the guys at Floe have both in abundance. I look forward to supporting the business as they grow and seeing Floe change the way we approach oral care for years to come.” Join the waiting list for Floe’s oral health test here.

Transforming Plastic Waste Management: The Impact of SMX’s Track and Trace System

Security Matters PLC

Plastic waste has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental issues of the 21st century, posing significant threats to ecosystems and life on Earth. Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans, landfills, and even in remote parts of the world, causing devastating impacts on wildlife, marine life, and the overall health of our planet. These synthetic materials, designed for durability and longevity, can take hundreds of years to decompose, thereby persisting in the environment for extended periods. Microplastics, tiny fragments resulting from the breakdown of larger plastic items, have infiltrated even the most remote corners of the globe and are increasingly found in the food chain. Moreover, the production and disposal of plastics contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, further exacerbating climate change. Addressing the plastic waste crisis requires innovative solutions that not only enhance recycling efficiency but also promote a circular and sustainable economy. SMX’s Innovative Technologies Stands Ready To Help Improve The Pressing Plastic Waste Issue SMX (NASDAQ: SMX), is an innovative circular economy company, set to revolutionize the plastics industry with its cutting-edge track and trace technology. This organization is dedicated to digitizing physical objects on the blockchain, a strategy aimed at promoting a circular and closed-loop economy. Their patented technology utilizes an indelible chemical-based biomarker to "mark" any object—solid, liquid, or gas. This unique barcode can be deciphered using the company's proprietary 'reader,' which pulls up the corresponding stored data, safeguarded by the immutable nature of blockchain technology. In April 2022, the company made headlines in the recycling world after successfully concluding commercial readiness trials for their pioneering plastic tracking system. At the heart of this innovation is an industrial-grade identification, authentication, and sorting conveyor belt designed specifically for the plastics sector. As they anticipate the commercial deployment of this revolutionary technology, SMX is actively engaged in promising discussions with various strategic partners, promising a new era for plastic recycling. SMX Technology Can Track and Trace Plastic Throughout Its Lifecycle, Helping the Environment & The Plastics Industry SMX’s innovative technology stands to greatly benefit the plastics industry by reducing waste and increasing recycling, ultimately bolstering environmental sustainability while also enhancing the industry's efficiency. Their patented marking technology, which assigns a unique chemical-based biomarker to objects, enables an unprecedented level of tracking and tracing throughout the lifecycle of plastic products. This paves the way for more effective sorting and recycling, since stakeholders can now precisely identify the type of plastic, the manufacturer, the percentage of recycled content, and even the number of times it has been recycled. The revolutionary conveyor belt detector, an integral component of their comprehensive solution, provides reliable data readings at every stage of the supply chain. This allows stakeholders to seamlessly transfer ownership of materials and products, record essential data, and attach critical documents via the intuitive interface. This game-changing innovation provides unparalleled transparency, enabling users to effortlessly track and trace plastic packaging throughout every stage of the value chain, from sorting to mechanical recycling. Such heightened transparency and traceability facilitates the creation of a digital twin of the product, thus illuminating every stage of its value chain. This can drastically improve the sorting capabilities of recycling and waste management facilities, and subsequently increase the percentage of plastic that is effectively recycled. By doing so, SMX’s technology aids in driving a more sustainable future for plastics, promoting a circular and closed-loop economy that mitigates plastic waste and its associated environmental impact. Moreover, this cutting-edge system has the potential to unlock the ability to reclaim and reuse all types of plastic content, bridging the gap for plastic circularity. By offering a solution that can be customized to individual requirements, such as detecting specific "marked" polymers among other waste, SMX is well-positioned to revolutionize plastic waste management and recycling. The versatility of SMX’s technology extends its applications across a broad range of industries from automotive to electronics, fashion and food. The chemical-based marker is applicable to solids, liquids, and gases, while the conveyor belt system can be tailored to specific needs, such as reading various types of packaging, detecting marked polymers among other waste, and modifying the dimensions and speed of the conveyor belt. As global concerns about plastic waste and sustainability persist, SMX’s innovative track and trace technology offers a promising solution to increase recycling efficiency and foster a circular and closed-loop economy in the plastics industry.

What indie beauty brand do Sharon Stone, Katie Couric, Naomi Watts and Gwyneth Paltrow all love?

Biography

Sharon Stone says it’s like “caviar for the skin.” Naomi Watts posted an Instagram “shelfie” featuring her favorite, Gwyneth Paltrow chose it for her Goop gift guide and Katie Couric continues to rave about it on her social media. So, what’s the buzz all about? Linda Thompson founded her beauty brand, Biography in 2020. The line is made up of high-quality, carefully blended “active” oils for face; and now NEW oil-infused formulas for the body, all designed to protect the skin and leave it clarified, rejuvenated, hydrated and renewed. Thanks to celebrity makeup artists who constantly request Biography for their clients, in just two short years, the brand has developed a cult-like following, and has been picked up by top retailers including Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. Here’s why. Actives are ingredients that actively work toward an intended purpose or specific skincare concern. These ingredients have been proven scientifically to change the structure of the skin at a cellular level. They work to repair, rejuvenate, hydrate, protect and nourish cells. Biography uses these potent “active” ingredients at carefully blended concentrations to address specific concerns. “For people with sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin, we recommend Long June calm face oil. It contains lightweight, soothing chamomile and apricot seed oil, so it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling moisturized and soothed,” explains Thompson. One of the star ingredients in Biography’s Petty Grudges repair blend is rosehip seed oil, vitamin C phenols, and trans-retinoic acid that help repair UV damage, lighten dark spots, and soften fine lines. Biography’s Golden Ray glow face oil contains a few different actives, one of which is French marine algae. “At the concentration in Golden Ray, that algae is clinically proven to stimulate collagen production, which improves elasticity and softens wrinkles,” Thompson says. “Carrot seed oil — another active that’s packed with vitamins A, C, and E — works in tandem to help repair sun damage and scars, boost collagen, and moisturize your skin. It’s a really powerful, but gentle, product great for people with aging or damaged skin,” Thompson says. Thompson recommends applying face oil on damp skin so it locks in hydration for a longer-lasting, dewy look. Regardless of post-cleansing products, face oils should be the final step in a skincare routine. This is because oils create an occlusive layer on the skin, which not only seals in moisture but creates a smooth canvas under sunscreen and makeup. In addition to the newness of the mini size oils, created due to popular demand, the brand has just launched an oil-infused Hand and Body Wash and a Hand and Body Cream. The wash is a gel-like cleanser that gently purifies skin, while finely-ground Quartz and Pumice work to exfoliate leaving skin softened and buffed. Other actives include Butterfly Bush and White Peony. The Hand and Body Cream is instantly absorbed and offers up to 12 hours of hydration with skin-softening effects thanks to ingredients like Babassu seed oil, Butterfly Bush, Camellia seed oil, and a Watermelon/Quinoa blend. Both the Wash and Cream are available in two unique scents. First Edition is reminiscent of a private library in an old-world cathedral, with scents of leather-bound folios, pencil shavings, musty floorboards with a whiff of freshly picked early blooms. O pen Garden suggests a bursting, humid greenhouse with fresh, yet tender blossoms. Think if Monet’s ‘Water Lilies’ were a clean fragrance.

CardSnacks Helps Loved Ones Send the Perfect E-Card with AI-Powered, Personalized Greeting Suggestions

CardSnacks

With Mother’s Day and Father’s Day holidays approaching, CardSnacks, the leading platform for individuals and businesses to send personalized e-greetings and gift cards, has introduced an artificial intelligence feature to assist senders in finding the right words to express their love and appreciation. For the first time, CardSnacks users will be able to employ AI-powered technology to build personalized greetings or use AI to suggest the right sentiment and approach for their own words. “Anyone who has ever sat down to write a personalized greeting knows that finding the right words to say is often hard,” said Mark Wachen, founder and CEO of CardSnacks. “With our new AI technology, users can now bring to life their own feelings faster and easier. Whether they adopt the AI suggestions fully or simply use them as a starting point for their own creativity, we are providing our users with a faster, more simplified approach to best express how they feel about those they love or respect.” The new AI feature allows users to set the stage for what they want to say. After choosing from one of the thousands of card options available, senders can then select their relationship to the recipient and the emotion they want to convey. Afterwards, CardSnacks provides AI-powered, personalized greetings to consider. For example, senders could choose a Mother’s Day card cover and then provide the app with details on the recipient and the type of message they want to create. Should the card be funny, sentimental, or heartfelt? Does your mother have specific interests or hobbies you want to mention? Do you want to send a regular message, or perhaps a rhyme? Through CardSnacks proprietary, easy-to-use AI card builder, a sender can input this information, and a customized greeting will be created in just seconds. Here’s a video that shows an example of what the experience would be like for a user of the CardSnacks app: cardsnacks.net/AI This does not mean, however, that you must use what the CardSnacks AI engine suggests. Users can edit the responses or create their own, using the AI feature solely as a way to get the thoughts started. Indeed, users can further add their own personalization by adding photos, videos, stickers and choosing music from tens of thousands of popular songs available in the app. And they can also include a gift by attaching a gift card from the over 400 leading retailers available in the CardSnacks app. “Until now, people had a choice that fell between pre-printed, canned messages and blank cards that sometimes challenged them to be creative,” Wachen said. “Our new feature is an ideal application of AI as it provides a fun easy way to take the thoughts in your head and instantly turn them into a fun, personalized greeting.” The feature is available now to all CardSnacks premium members, and for a limited time, can be sampled by free users as well. The feature is available on iOS, and will be coming to Android and the Web soon. About CardSnacks CardSnacks is the leading platform for individuals and businesses to send personalized e-greetings, invitations, and gift cards. It is based in New York, with employees in California, London, and Israel. CardSnacks is available in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and on the web.

Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder to Criticize Warren Buffett and Bill Gates for Politicized Philanthropy

National Legal & Policy Center

National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) is the sponsor of a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder proposal to separate the roles of Chairman and CEO. On April 21, we filed a proxy memo in support of our resolution, explaining why we believe the succession plan is inadequate and that the company should be less identified with Warren Buffett’s politics. Here is the statement NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty plans to make at the Berkshire annual meeting on Saturday, April 6 in Omaha, Nebraska: I am Peter Flaherty, Chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center. If we had an independent chair, the Company would be less identified with Mr. Buffett’s political activities. He’s donated more than $100 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As Bill Gates explained when the couple was still together, “ although the foundation bears our names, basically half our resources have come from Warren Buffett.” If “woke” culture is a disease, then philanthropy is the virus. The Gates Foundation bankrolls the teaching of Critical Race Theory around the country, including that math is inherently racist. The Gates Foundation offers a Gender Identity Toolbox, which asserts that gender is the result of “socially and culturally constructed ideas.” This is a lie. Gender is not a cultural construct. It is a genetic and biological fact. We know how much Bill Gates cares about children. He met and traveled with Jeffrey Epstein MANY times AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex crimes. The Gates Foundation had a huge influence over the COVID response fiasco. Bill Gates defended China’s COVID policies and still discounts the possibility that the virus originated from a lab, even though U.S. intelligence agencies disagree. The Gates Foundation may be the largest single donor to the “dark money” machine known as Arabella Associates which funds causes like defunding the police that are making American cities unlivable. Money goes, too, to groups conducting threatening and vulgar protests at their homes of Supreme Court Justices. Mr. Buffett has quietly funneled more than $4 billion to groups supporting abortion on demand through the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation. That’s $4 billion, with a B. Advocacy disguised as philanthropy. Bill Gates has lamented political polarization and even worried aloud about a civil war. But it is billionaires who are funding the most shrill and extreme activists who are tearing our country apart. Ironically, Mr. Buffett has pointed out that corporate executives can make a lot of people mad when they insert themselves into controversy. Anheuser-Busch is finding that out. It cannot renounce its Dylan Mulvaney transgender promotion because it is handcuffed by its longtime support for activists who would turn on them in a minute. Anheuser-Busch gets a perfect grade on the Human Rights Campaign scorecard, as do Berkshire portfolio companies like Coca-Cola, Bank of America, and Apple. Bank of America and Apple help bankroll this group, which wants biological men to compete in women’s sports. Worse, it is currently pressuring state legislatures to allow sex change operations on children, and to keep their parents out of the decision. Let’s revisit Coca-Cola, which I discussed at last year’s meeting. CEO James Quincey, a British citizen, tried to kill Georgia’s voter integrity law in 2021 by making inaccurate and inflammatory statements about it. That’s the law that President Biden called “Jim Crow 2.0,” and which prompted Major League Baseball to move the All-Star game out of Atlanta. Mr. Buffett jumped on the bandwagon, too, by signing a statement by corporate leaders suggesting that Republicans seek to restrict ballot access based on race. Two years later, we can now evaluate that accusation. Last year, an election was held in Georgia. Turnout was record breaking. According to an independent poll, 99% of voters said they had “no problem” casting ballots. 92% said the new law either had no impact on their ability to vote or made it easier. James Quincey was wrong, and Mr. Buffett, so were you. ### To schedule an interview with Peter Flaherty, please contact Dan Rene at drene@nlpc.org or Jackie Jones at jackie@truthpr.com Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action.

Michael Jackson Most Requested Artist for a Hologram Concert in Canada

Intelligiants Ltd

Rogers Centre Toronto, voted most popular venue Ticket prices could be on par with live concerts Interest in hologram festivals, art and fashion shows Holographic technology has been around for decades, but in recent years, advancements in light, sound, and stage technology, for holographic and virtual concepts have been developed and tested: Tupac Shakur’s virtual performance at Coachella Festival 2013 was the starting point and fans have seen the likes of Michael Jackson, Ronny James Dio and Whitney Houston in concert thanks to the holographic technology. ABBA stopped touring in the early 1980s but has broken new ground with their virtual ‘Voyage’ show in London, England. The hologram concert premiered in May 2022, and on 17 April 2023, the millionth visitor saw the ‘Abba-tars live’. In March 2023, ABBA announced that the show will tour the world: A new exciting format that could be a peek into the future for shows and events based on holographic technology. Canadian PartyCasino asked 1000 Canadians 14 questions on hologram concerts, ticket prices, type of venues and what artists or groups they would consider paying for, in a virtual concert. Michael Jackson at Rogers Centre, Toronto? In a list of 14 Canadian venues with capacities ranging from 800 to 54 000, Rogers Centre took the first spot with 11,70% of the votes, followed by Air Canada Centre, Toronto (10,80%) and BC Place Stadium, Vancouver (10,30%). One section of the survey looks at artists from the past and whom the poll takers would like to see in a hologram concert from each decade: 1960s: • The Beatles 14,40% • Elvis Presley 12,70% 1970s: • Queen 10,50% • Pink Floyd 6,10% 1980s: • Michael Jackson 19,40% • Whitney Houston 7,90% The survey also shows that the interest in new formats of holographic experiences is high and that the audiences are potentially willing to pay concert ticket prices for the experience, with over a third of the participants picking price points over 100 Canadian dollars (CA$100-124: 20,30% and CA$125-149: 13,10%). Other holographic experiences that the survey looks at include music festivals, theatre plays and fashion shows. The full survey results can be seen in a blog post here.
