An NFT Collection of Sir Geoff Hurst's Memories of the 1966 World Cup Go to Auction to Support Alzheimer's Charities

Benzinga

Sir Geoff Hurst, one of the last living English footballers who retains vivid memories of the historic 1966 World Cup Final, has digitally preserved his recollections from the famous victory against West Germany in the form of an NFT for auction. As England bid for a first major tournament since the heroes of 1966, the project, named THE EVERLASTING MEMORY, will raise funds and awareness for two charities close to Sir Geoff's heart - Alzheimer's Research UK and the Alzheimer's Society. A 1 of 1 NFT and open edition NFTs, will be auctioned off via online digital art auction site Rarible. The multiple edition NFT goes on sale on the 3rd December, whilst the one-off goes on sale on 16th December - as the current Three Lions team progresses through the tournament in Qatar. Just three members of the heroic 66' England team are still alive, including Sir Geoff, with a heart-breaking number of England's finest football heroes tragically losing their lives to Alzheimer's. The artwork generated by Sir Geoff's vocal memory, has been created by artists Harry Yeff and Trung Bao, creators of the world-renowned VOICE GEMS system. A 200 000 particle system that turns voice recordings into one of a kind world class sculptures. The pair have been collecting the world's most iconic voices and memories for the VOICE GEMS 1000 Year archive. Two worlds' collided when VOICE GEMS founder Harry Yeff met Sir Geoff at Wembley earlier this summer - the scene of the famous World Cup Final - and where Sir Geoff opened-up about his memories to inspire Reeps One’s NFT creation. Having seen his teammates suffer from the terrible disease, Sir Geoff admits his memory of the World Cup could also fade - which makes his involvement in the project even more poignant. As the Three Lions shoot for glory in Qatar, and following the incredible Euros performance of The Lionesses in the summer, the hat-trick hero hopes preserving his memories, digitally, will inspire future generations to come. The World Cup winner, said: “As time passes, and memories fade, the 1966 World Cup is still etched in my brain, and I am fortunate to be able to recall that life changing experience even at the ripe old age of 80 years. Watching from the side-lines as teammates from that World Cup winning side have been impacted by the awful disease that is Alzheimer’s, has been a humbling experience. These amazing men were more than teammates, they were heroes to me - and to the rest of the nation. Raising vital funds and awareness for charities like Alzheimer’s Research UK and the Alzheimer's Society, is close to my heart and getting involved in an NFT project to do that has been an eye-opening experience. Of course, I've read about this new world of NFTs, and my Grandson has often talked about them - to be able to call on my own memories of 66' and immortalise them digitally for future generations was what really intrigued me. In a World Cup year, when Gareth's boys aim to emulate our 66' team in Qatar it is the perfect moment for this project to take place - and I'm hoping we can raise awareness and funds in the form of a donation to help fight this horrible disease.” Reeps One, a London Born leading artist in the space, commented: "Receiving the call that Sir Geoff Hurst wanted us to preserve his 1966 memory is not something I will forget fast. Arguably there is nothing more iconic in sports than that hat-trick. Growing up in London's Walthamstow it's been a moment that has come up again and again in my life. I have been around the world twice collecting voices for the VOICE GEMS project, but this is Legendary. A legendary voice for a legendary cause. A memory frozen in time" This post contains sponsored advertising content. This content is for informational purposes only and not intended to be investing advice.

Small And Medium Sized Businesses Are Losing Money When They Send Funds Overseas

FatBrAin

For every company, protecting and increasing cash flow is one of the main concerns. However, so many companies do not have the resources to properly evaluate where they have unnecessary losses and how to optimize systems to increase their cash flow. This is especially true of small and medium-sized enterprises, also known as SMEs. SMEs make up over 90% of businesses around the world and approximately half of employment. In the U.S., SMEs account for 44% of all U.S. economic activity and produce the bulk of GDP output. SMEs are crucial to the economy but that doesn’t mean they always have the necessary support to excel in the growing technological world. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data have the potential to revolutionize the workforce. These technologies are able to increase efficiency and diversify revenue streams, among other things. However, the companies utilizing these technologies are often large enterprises like Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and government agencies. FatBrain AI (LZG International, Inc.) (OTCQB: LZGI) (“FatBrain”) is looking to change this status quo. FatBrain markets itself as “AI for Everyone” and caters to SMEs. The company is interested in simplifying decision-making for SMEs and giving them the power to harness big data and AI to grow and expand their businesses. FatBrain believes that SMEs often do not have the manpower or capital to derive plausible solutions for their business because there is too much data and too many variables to contend with. This is where AI comes into play. AI allows these businesses to make effective changes toward growth and efficiency without depleting their resources. For example, one product the company offers is its FX Transaction Offering. Its program, FatBrain FX Fair Value Report (FVR) reviews your foreign exchange (FX) transactions and performs possible savings calculations. According to the International Monetary Fund, banks charge up to 25x more in transaction costs than the market FX rate. This impacts the bottom line of SMEs that engage in global commerce. FatBrain is an expert in foreign exchange and international payment services; the company has worked across a diverse amount of sectors that engage in global commerce and has helped companies find the most competitive rates of exchange along with recommending hedging strategies. FatBrain uses its cutting-edge AI for in-depth analysis of a company's historical transactions to identify FX cycles. From there, FatBrain makes recommendations and provides expert coaching to anticipate currency dynamics and match the company’s purchase cycles to unlock FX transaction savings. For SMEs, this makes a world of difference. FatBrain AI (LZG International, Inc.; OTC: LZGI) is the first and leading provider of powerful and easy-to-use AI solutions to millions of businesses of tomorrow driving the majority of the global economy, empowering them to grow, innovate faster and savemoney. FatBrain’s innovative solutions transform continuous learning, narrative reasoning, cloud, blockchain and Web3 technologies into auditable, explainable and easy to integrate products. FatBrain’ssubscription model allows all companies to deploy its advanced AI solutions quickly and easily, securely utilizing them on premises behind their firewalls or via cloud.

This allows us to deliver coached, personalized AI solutions at hyperscale. FatBrain unifies insights from SaaS applications, turbo-charged by peer and market dynamics: 1) Realize attainable goals from explainable peer performance. 2)Turbo-charge human expertise with superhuman AI insights. 3) Accelerate growth through the contributory network effects. 4) Simplify harnessing data across common apps and market signals.

Announcing the 2022-2023 Class of AAJA-SF Bay Area’s Rising With the Tides Fellowship

Comcast California

Comcast, NBC Bay Area and the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA-SF Bay Area) are proud to announce the fellows and editorial coach who have been selected for the 2022-2023 Rising With the Tides ( RWTT ) program. This year’s program will fund stories by three talented young Bay Area journalists — Kate Selig, Kori Suzuki and Junyao Yang — who will share portraits of the region’s Asian American population and the issues that the community faces. Selig is a Stanford undergraduate student and the news editor of The Stanford Daily. Her RWTT -supported story will focus on the effort to preserve Cantonese language programs at higher education institutions in the Bay Area. Suzuki is an audio and visual journalist and a student at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. For RWTT, Suzuki will trace the history of Japanese American recreational basketball leagues in the Bay Area and will follow one East Bay program through its current season. Yang is also a student at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism, and her RWTT -supported story examines the unique challenges faced by Chinese immigrant women who are victims of domestic violence. Selig, Suzuki and Yang will receive guidance during their reporting from this year’s RWTT editorial coach, Karishma Mehrotra. She is a Fulbright fellow and her work has appeared on Radiolab, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, The Indian Express, Scroll.in and Bloomberg Businessweek. Mehrotra has reported across beats, usually focused on forward-looking issues: technology, urbanization and climate. RWTT launched in 2020 as an effort with Comcast to support journalists who were facing career and financial insecurity during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Past RWTT grant recipients have had their stories published in the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, NBC Bay Area and Wired. They also participated in AAJA-SF Bay Area’s sold-out live storytelling fundraiser, Hella Asian, held at KQED’s headquarters. All fellows will participate in a story showcase at the project’s end in early spring 2023. The RWTT fellowship is a part of AAJA-SF Bay Area’s mission to support AAPI journalists and storytelling, diversity in newsrooms and to ensure fair and accurate coverage of communities of color.
