100 Additional Small Businesses Owned by Women and People of Color in Oakland to Each Receive a $10,000 Grant from Comcast RISE, Bringing the Total Oakland Investment to $2 Million

Comcast California

Comcast today announced it will award an additional $1 million in grants to 100 small businesses owned by women and people of color, including Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Asian American owners, among others, in Oakland, bringing the total to $2 million to date. These recipients are part of the more than 9,500 entrepreneurs nationwide who have been selected as Comcast RISE awardees since November 2020. Oakland was one of five cities, including Chicago, Miami, Oakland, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., that was selected to award a $10,000 grant to 100 local businesses from the Comcast RISE Investment Fund, for a total of $5 million across 500 businesses, bringing the amount awarded nationwide to $21 million to date. Through Comcast RISE, the company also announced it will support 13,000 small businesses, owned by people of color and women, with monetary grants; a TV campaign, production of a TV commercial or consulting services from Effectv; or computer equipment, internet, voice, or cybersecurity from Comcast Business by the end of 2022. “We started our tamales business as a street food vendor in the Mission and eventually opened our storefront. Nice months ago, we relocated to a busier location in the Swan’s Market, which was an expensive move,” said Reyna Maldonado, co-owner of La Guerrera’s Kitchen, a family affair run with her mom. “Thanks to the Comcast RISE Investment Fund, we’ll be able to re-invest the funds back into our business.” In addition, Comcast RISE invests in ongoing mentorship and resources to help businesses succeed in the long run. The program has partnered with Ureeka, an online platform for entrepreneurs, to provide grant recipients with business coaching to help build skills in company foundation, growing customers and financial stability.

Can Artificial Intelligence And Big Data Help Predict The Future? Read how FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE) Uses Predictive Analytics.

Benzinga

In complicated multivariable environments, there is no such thing as certainty. Just like the outcome of a soccer game can be impacted by nearly every touch of the ball on the field, other multivariable environments, like a political election or a pandemic, can be impacted by innumerable factors. This makes hunting for a certain outcome a difficult task. With certainty out of grasp, the next best thing becomes calculating probability, a far more feasible alternative. The rise of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) has radically altered the ease with which one can achieve this. With a big enough data set and a well-designed methodology, computer programs can glean hundreds of thousands of data points and categorize outcomes under certain probabilistic brackets. Users of this technology can reap significant benefits in complicated multivariable environments, especially if competitors do not possess this information. For example, it’s easy to envision how knowing that a certain market movement is likely to occur grants traders an edge over more ignorant competitors. The problem: This information is not easy to get. Luckily, certain entrepreneurs have made it their business to create predictive technology. Tim Hwang of FiscalNote Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NOTE), for example, has created a business that specializes in collecting data and repackaging it into actionable insights. Built on popular modern cloud technology, FiscalNote’s Predata Platform leverages big data and AI to predict probabilistic outcomes in highly uncertain environments, reportedly granting their users a huge edge over competitors. A FiscalNote Case Study: Predicting COVID-19 Movement During the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals who could ascertain the trajectory of the virus had supreme advantages over others. With knowledge of the virus’s next likely destination, governments, for example, could set up proper fortifications, and investors could hedge or liquidate positions. FiscalNote’s Predata Platform reportedly achieves this predictability goal. By measuring the finite distribution of human attention on social platforms, Predata’s patented methodology turns anonymized web traffic metadata into quantifiable measures of attention to individual narratives, topics and themes. This can then be used to predict the likelihood of events. At some point in the pandemic, for example, the Predata platform recognized that “global interest in the outbreak was increasingly driven by Italian- and Japanese-language audiences.” The sudden spike in interest from Italian- and Japanese-speaking demographics led to a prediction that COVID-19’s next outburst would be in those areas. “Four days after the Predata alert, Italian authorities reported a sharp rise in coronavirus infections,” FiscalNote says. Predata users were sent individualized alerts of this prediction before it was vocalized by media outlets around the globe. FiscalNote’s Predata platform has been used to make several complicated predictions, ranging from Iran’s possible retaliation to the United State’s Soleimini strike to the risk of an oil supply shock. With the tools to simplify complicated datasets and arrange them into actionable insights, FiscalNote reportedly provides its customers access to some of the most valuable information on the market — before it hits the market. Post-midterm elections, this unique service seems more important than ever. See how FiscalNote can help you prepare for future events here. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

YourUpdateTV

In recent years, plant-based milk alternatives like oatmilk have become incredibly popular, progressing from small coffee shops to the shelves of the largest supermarkets in the country.

Recently, Registered Dietician and Nutrition Expert, Mia Syn teamed up with Oatly to discuss the benefits of oatmilk and how to incorporate it into your favorite recipes during the holiday season. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/HhFWuhFS9CM Whether you’re dairy-free, vegan, or simply looking to switch things up, oatmilk is a versatile and nutritious option with plenty of benefits.

Oatmilk is a great option for those with dietary restrictions, such as lactose intolerance or nut allergies. In general, oatmilk is also better for the climate when compared to dairy milk. The go-to for Mia is always Oatly. The world’s original and largest oatmilk company, Oatly offers a large array of products, from oatmilks to frozen desserts, that can be enjoyed individually or incorporated into some of your favorite recipes. Mia shared some great recipes you can try at home, created by Chef Amanda Cohen, owner of Dirt Candy, an award-winning, Michelin-starred vegetable restaurant in New York City. To accompany your next holiday dinner? Roasted Carrots with an Oatgurt Dressing. A simple and easy way to brighten up a classic side dish, it starts with a cup of plain Oatly Oatgurt mixed with different herbs, spices and olive oil. And for dessert? A deliciously fun twist on classic pumpkin pie, Pumpkin Pie Oat Bars made with Full Fat Oatly Oatmilk. If you’re looking for more, Oatly recently released an entire YouTube series dedicated to finding out if different time-honored recipes could withstand the challenge of swapping in oatmilk in place of dairy called Will It Swap?

OPPO Inspirational Games: Football is Full of Passion and Inspiration

OPPO

SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach - 21 November 2022 - OPPO today published a documentary Inspirational Games based on three witnesses’ stories of the most inspiring games in the UEFA Champions League. The 67-year history of the UEFA Champions League is an epic full of passionate and inspiring memories. Looking at the throwback highlights, we can still feel the passion encapsulated in each moment. For fans of the UEFA Champions League to relive the strong emotions of the most exciting games in history, OPPO hosted a global campaign to vote for the competition’s top three inspiring games of all time. This was followed by actually finding those who witnessed the game during the time, then interviewing them and finally bringing these stories of inspiration to everyone. As part of the campaign “Inspirational Games”, OPPO believes that these stories strike up conversations between even strangers and unify football fans. Furthermore, it rekindles the passion for the game to inspire more people around the world. Nam Kunn records his travel with OPPO Reno8 Pro “Going to the stadium to watch a game always draws your best memory,” Nam Kunn, a graphic designer and photographer based in Paris told us, “Football always brings the strongest emotions and never makes you bored.” As a supporter of PSG since 2000, Nam was a field photographer that happened to witness the amazing 4-0 during the first leg between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, and the histrionic 1-6 during the second. The strongest emotions that football gave him continue to inspire his life till this day. As Nam puts it, supporting a club is more than a logo or a jersey. It describes your values, philosophy, and life. Deriving from his love for football, Nam was inspired to start a project to record the most inspiring moments of his travels, which include fashion, photography, and of course football. For him, football is a sport about cultural diversity. A sport for everyone to connect and share their passion. Tonín el Torero, a hardcore fan who holds another identity as the owner of a famous pub in Madrid would agree with Nam. He shared with us the inspiring moments when his pub brought total strangers from different countries together with football. “The passion for Real Madrid builds bonds.” Tonín recalls the time fans went wild when their team scored an amazing goal. That memory was a perfect depiction of a community coming together to embrace joy and hope. Tonín el Torero Football invokes our emotions and inspires underdogs to outperform their opponents. We’ve heard so many stories from football fans, however, OPPO is lucky to have interviewed Mike Ferney, a visually impaired fan who enjoys matches in a different way. “How could someone who is visually impaired enjoy a football match in a stadium?” you might ask. The answer is passion. The passion for football he had since childhood has now turned into a lifelong habit, and all of the matches that he experienced have become an unstoppable force that drives him ahead. Mike Ferney was diagnosed with visual impairment from birth, but this has not affected his zeal for football and Liverpool which started from a young age and has continued to this day. Though life with impaired vision is difficult at times, Liverpool’s victory at Istanbul moved him deeply at the age of 13. There he learned the life lesson “never give up,” and Mike describes it as his biggest takeaway from Istanbul 2005. “It's being three nil down against one of the best teams in Europe,” Mike still remembers that feeling of intensity while recounting the story, “It could have been easy to roll over and give up, but they carried on. And I think the moment is short. Then things that happen help me believe that, even though it is football, it can be tied to a life lesson.” Mike’s cousin Stephen assists him by giving him a visual description of everything that’s happening on the field, and he enjoys standing in the stadium to experience the matches. Because to Mike, there are more senses to feel at a matchup than simply watching. There is a special energy when you stand in the stadium with the crowd around, Mike calls it the “feeling of synergy,” and that goes beyond visual aspects to various sensations like the noise of fans celebrating and the ground beneath him shaking. Therefore, even with his visual impairment, Mike still experiences the games to a great extent and gains inspiration from football. Mike Ferney (center) watches football game with his cousin and friend For Mike, inspiration also means never giving up his passion for life and inspiring more people with his story. When life gets tough, Mike chooses to go to matches to feel the vibe. The relentless attitude is deeply rooted into his life and also encouraged a group of fans through the bond of Liverpool. Mike started a podcast named “Unfair Rap”, where he retells his story and meets new friends with shared interests and passion. It is always a pleasure for him to inspire the people around him. There are many people like Mike who are inspired by the passion for football, and advancements in technology allow us to better enjoy and record the game with pocket-sized devices, freezing the seconds of inspiration into everlasting memories. OPPO has been exploring more ways for people to enjoy sports under the brand proposition "Inspiration Ahead". Especially assistive technology for people like Mike who have visual impairments or other disabilities to experience more inspiration in their lives. For example, Color Vision Enhancement Technology, which made its debut on the OPPO Find X3 series, was designed to improve color identification abilities for those who suffer from color vision deficiency. Thanks to the technology, the screen displays more accurate colors. OPPO Research Institute Innovation Accelerator, which issued a focus on accessible technology was also a success this year. The accelerator was aimed to turn world changing ideas into reality. Among the winning proposals, we were glad to see innovative ideas like “machine vision solutions for the visually impaired”, and “exclusive mobile phones for the hearing-impaired”. These proposals addressed pressing social issues that deserve our concern. Guided by the brand proposition “Inspiration Ahead,” OPPO will continue to explore meaningful innovations regardless of the difficulties that lie ahead. The search for witnesses for “Inspirational Games” is not an ending, on the contrary, it marks a new beginning. OPPO will help more people enjoy the inspiration in life, and everyone can become a witness to their own moments of inspiration.

Following the first episode, the mermaid transforms into a princess in “Stuck in Time” and sinks further into the depths of the ocean. A beam of light comes to her rescue and places her in the gentle care of a special fairy. Now as a princess, she is travelling in a magical carriage. She believes she is going to a magical palace with dazzling lights. Along the way, she tries on glamourous dresses and basks in the spotlight, pleasantly surprised by everything that the fairy has given her. But as the lights begin to fade, her disappointment grows. The palace that she longed for is getting further from her reach, and she realises that the carriage is travelling in circles with no destination. Moments before the clock strikes midnight, the princess takes a brave step to escape and run towards an uncertain future. As she leaps from the carriage, one of her shoes falls off and remains in the carriage. “Goodbye Princess” animation series episode 2 poster. The poster for episode 2 released on 16 November, shows: At first glance, the carriage appears to be magically taking the princess to a bright future. Upon closer look, the carriage is a prison cell enclosed by iron fences. The great wheel continues spinning, and the once glamourous clothes are changing. But is this the life that the princess desires? The dresses that the princess wears in the carriage are those that Tia has worn on stage during her modeling career. Beyond the dazzling lights that the princess yearns for lies a blurry castle. What does it all mean? How does the castle relate to “ GOODBYE PRINCESS ”?
