YourUpdateTV
Emmy Award-Winning Television Host and Lifestyle Expert, Marisa Brahney partners with Afterpay, Famous Footwear and The Vitamine Shoppe. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/e_oyhHkTPXo It is the time of year parents break a sweat thinking about the back-to-school scramble, which includes scheduling, extracurricular activities, and shopping. In fact, according to the National Retail Federation, consumers are expected to spend record amounts for both back-to-school and back-to-college shopping this year. Spending is likely to reach an unparalleled $41.5 billion, which is up from last year’s $36.9 billion. Families with children in elementary through high school are projected to spend an average of close to $900 on back-to-school items this year. Emmy Award-Winning Television Host and Lifestyle Expert, Marisa Brahney shares a few of her favorite ways to get ready for another school year. FOOTWEAR One of the most popular back-to-school items continues to be footwear. Brahney says she’s not surprised, because all three of her kids and their friends love getting new shoes for the new school year. Additionally, as a parent, she mentions how kids’ and teenagers’ feet grow fast, and for that very reason, she keeps an eye on all the latest styles. Famous Footwear is the back-to-school destination for the whole family and home to brands consumers all know and love, including Nike, Crocs, Converse, New Balance, HeyDUDE and Doc Martens, just to name a few, all at a great value. Famous is the premier one-stop destination for back-to-school shopping, which makes the entire experience convenient. Whether online or in-store, families can find a wide selection of styles and trends. The lifestyle expert points out one of the things that stands out to her as a mom, and that’s Famous for the Perfect Fit. “Kids feet grow FAST! If you’re shopping in-store, seek out a helpful Famous Footwear Sizing Expert to ensure your kids’ shoes fit just right,” says Brahney, adding, “There are so many great styles to choose from for your kids to step into the new school year in style.” For more information visit any of the 900 Famous Footwear stores nationwide or online at famousfootwear.com.

Brahney says this is a high-energy time of year and parents and caregivers need to make sure everyone in the family has all the nutrients they need to make it through a busy day. “I keep an eye out for all the latest and greatest ways to do it,” says Brahney, adding “One brand, MaryRuth’s offers high-quality supplements for the whole family, with delicious tasting formulas that make maintaining healthy routines easy for kids and parents.” The best place to shop for these supplements is The Vitamin Shoppe and vitaminshoppe.com, the leading destination for lifelong wellness solutions.

Brahney highlights how back-to-school shopping can quickly add up and be a financial stress. “No matter the type of budget, whether robust or conservative, it really comes down to how shoppers plan on paying for their back-to-school items,” says Brahney, adding, “That’s why I really like the Afterpay app. As one of the leading buy now, pay later platforms, it’s a budgeting tool—so I can ease back into back-to-school shopping.” Afterpay partners with thousands of brands to offer interest-free, pay-in-four installment payments, which allows shoppers to buy all their back-to-school necessities now and pay over time, without the worry of interest and revolving debt posed by credit.

News ReleaseCould HybriU, Ambow Education’s (NYSE: AMBO) New AI-Powered Education Solution, Revolutionize The $600+ Billion Learning Market?
Ambow Education Holding
By David Willey, Benzinga Ambow Education Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: AMBO) is bringing innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technology to the educational sector. It has launched HybriU, an AI-powered digital education platform that is designed to empower students and bridge the gap between academia and industry. Ambow’s HybriU employs cutting-edge connective technology that transcends the traditional barriers between languages, regions, academia and industry to create a seamless online and offline learning experience. Ambow is a technology-driven educational company that primarily operates in the U.S.. Its new HybriU platform is powered by the powerful, patented OOOK technology, which was created to help provide students with modern educational and workforce training. With the launch of HybriU, Ambow is looking to turbocharge the use of AI in online learning. The online education sector is projected to grow from its 2022 value of $192 billion to $602 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2% during the forecast period. Recently the World Economic Forum (WEF) declared that AI has immense potential to create inclusive systems of learning for students and to enhance the experience of teachers. This is the potential that Ambow is looking to harness with its revolutionary HybriU platform. What Does HybriU Do? In an interview, Ambow's President and CEO Dr. Jin Huang identified some key solutions that HybriU provides, including its scalable, affordable technology, as well as its smart classrooms and labs. Huang was recently listed on CIO’s “ 10 Most Innovative CEO’s To Watch In 2023.” HybriU’s capabilities include simultaneous content creation with instant AI translation. This allows students to study in their native language, improving global access to educational material. The platform also eliminates the need for distinct online content creation, as it automatically generates educational content directly from online and offline sessions, including those in a traditional classroom, lab, or corporate training session. Using the OOOK technology, HybriU can also create customized content that is adapted to diverse student populations. One way it provides more inclusive content is by offering live subtitles and an AI-generated voiceover that provides the content in the student’s native language. The platform also has a mechanism for providing real-time feedback to help promote continuous improvement of the experience for both teachers and students. With HybriU’s digital classes, students won’t need to take notes, as the AI will direct the teacher’s transcripts straight to their account. Students can tag or comment on the transcript, and an AI-powered indexing and tagging system allows for an efficient organization of the content. Student comments also provide teachers with immediate feedback on their lessons to enhance their curriculum and teaching style. HybriU also has the capability to create marking material for AI-generated online courses. These include sales posters and short videos to maximize the reach and impact of the course content. With all these capabilities, Ambow believes that HybriU will help reshape the traditional educational landscape and create a more inclusive, efficient and effective learning experience. "During the second half of 2022, we completed the sale of our overseas assets and transitioned our business operations to the U.S. where we introduced HybriU, our industry-leading hybrid learning platform designed to tackle the challenges of the new education paradigm," said Dr. Jin Huang. "We believe that HybriU brings the education industry its first fully integrated, interactive, online and offline instruction platform. This places Ambow at the cutting edge of a game-changing transition toward hybrid learning with HybriU's ability to facilitate borderless education opportunities by removing historical barriers between online and offline, languages and regions, as well as academia and industry.” To sign up for a free demo of HybridU, visit http://www.hybriU.com or www.ambow.com. Ambow Education Holding Ltd. is a leading cross-border career educational and technology service provider, offering high-quality, individualized services and products. With its extensive network of regional service hubs complemented by a dynamic proprietary learning platform and distributors, Ambow provides its services and products to students in China and United States of America.
