New Device is Helping Patients Make Strides with their Mobility

YourUpdateTV

For those living with mobility impairments, wheelchairs, walkers and canes are a necessity for everyday life. While technological advancement has completely transformed almost every sector over the last century, innovation in mobility aids has largely remained the same. Recently, Founder and CEO of CIONIC, Jeremiah Robison, as well as Patty Glatfelter, a multiple sclerosis patient whose life has been transformed thanks to the Cionic Neural Sleeve, conducted a satellite media tour to share insights on the Cionic Neural Sleeve that's earned recognition as one of Time's Best Inventions of 2023. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/ZyJLaAuRp2c People living with mobility impairments are asking for, and deserve, better tools, harnessing the power of modern technology. Motivated by his daughter Sofia’s mobility challenges from cerebral palsy, tech innovator Jeremiah Robison founded CIONIC to harness the technological advances in continuous diagnostics and machine learning to help the mobility impaired not only regain mobility in the moment, but potentially improve it by strengthening and retraining the body over time. CIONIC is a neurotech company on a mission to superpower the human body to reach its fullest potential. CIONIC’s vision is a world beyond disability and limitations, enabled by personalized healthcare technology. The company’s premier product, the FDA-cleared Cionic Neural Sleeve, is changing the lives of people with upper motor neuron conditions (multiple sclerosis, stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury and more) drastically increasing their ability to walk, move and balance. Voted one of Time’s Best Inventions of 2023, The Cionic Neural Sleeve analyzes, predicts, and augments muscles in the leg to improve walking, updating with each step the wearer takes. To learn more visit cionic.com Jeremiah Robison Bio Jeremiah Robison is the Founder and CEO of CIONIC, an innovative company that builds lightweight and durable bionic clothing driven by powerful algorithms that adapt in real-time to each individual's mobility needs. He started the company in 2018 after his daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and he was frustrated at the lack of effective technology available to help improve her mobility. Four years later, CIONIC introduced the breakthrough, FDA-cleared Cionic Neural Sleeve, the first product to combine sensing, analysis and augmentation into a wearable garment. Prior to CIONIC, Jeremiah spent twenty years at the intersection of data, algorithms, and the human body, driving innovation in sensing and machine learning at Apple, Openwave Systems, Slide, and Jawbone. Jeremiah has a BS and MS in Computer Science from Stanford University. About Patty Glatfelter Patty Glatfelter, 69, a Florissant, CO resident who has had multiple sclerosis (MS) for 37 years, has been using the Cionic Neural Sleeve for almost a year now. Patty, a former physical therapist, retired back in 2008 because of her limitations to provide care due to her MS. Before the Cionic Neural Sleeve, she couldn’t walk 50 feet and experienced periods of remissions, as well as stages where she relied on a walker, cane, and wheelchair. It was a rollercoaster ride for about eight to ten years. Her doctor even thought that within the first three to five years of her MS diagnosis, she would be in a wheelchair permanently. Her quality of life was limited. She had to cook sitting down and could stand for about 15 minutes before needing a break. She couldn’t take socks out of the dryer or go for walks outside of her house on the mountains alone. Ever since she started using the Cionic Neural Sleeve, she instantly saw a difference. She notes that she was “astounded by how well [I] was walking.” The Cionic Neural Sleeve has restored her ability to do many everyday things, including taking clothes out of the dryer, going for walks, taking vacations, climbing lighthouses and seeing friends and family. She even notes that she is better now than she was ten years ago. She describes the experience as “a perfect storm in a good way.” Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

The Transformative Power of AI: How the Theories Group Disrupts the Media Landscape

Prodigy Press Wire

The emergence of new technologies, the development of digital platforms, and changing consumer behavior have significantly transformed the media and publishing industry. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the primary drivers of this change. Over the years, AI has become an instrumental tool in addressing the challenges shared by both media and publishing, such as engaging end-users, predicting trends, and monetizing content. AI contributes to the media industry through recommendation engines. It became an essential tool to identify and understand the target audience's preferences in an era where personalized content has been replacing mass media. Meanwhile, in content creation, AI automates story generation, enhances content, generates highlights, and even creates subtitles and captions. It has also become vital for content consumption and sentiment analysis due to its capability to refine and discover future trends. Theories Group, a leading AI-driven digital media group based in Sweden, acknowledges the immense potential of AI in steering the industry toward a future where intelligent media transforms the way society consumes and interacts with content. Theories specialize in high-intent niches, connecting consumers with top brands worldwide. Its philosophy is based on the belief that there must be a way for technology to enhance processes efficiently. Following this ideology, Theories' vision is to operate thousands of brands in hundreds of languages across all digital channels to revolutionize the industry. Leveraging AI's proficiency in data and analytics, Theories Group has acquired three companies under its wing, with a fourth incoming. Deployr, the first of its companies, is a technology-focused venture dedicated to building an automatic publication platform. Cliqer, on the other hand, specializes in content creation driven by search engine optimization (SEO), focusing on global lead generation in over 70 markets. Meanwhile, RVSHR is an affiliate company serving over 300 brands in more than 30 markets daily. Theories' journey illustrates the significance of adaptation and innovation in the field. The group initially started as a tech startup to produce marketing web pages programmatically in multiple languages. This laid the foundation for Deployr. Theories later delved into a marketing affiliate business, successfully funding itself to run Cliqer and RVSHR, each contributing to Theories' overarching vision. Like many other companies in the online business landscape, Theories experienced remarkable growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in 2022, the group had to reassess its traditional business model to ensure continued growth following the shift from online to offline activities. Spearheaded by its CEO, Jonas Angleflod, Theories Group navigated the challenges it faced. Theories' team of experts refined the group's approach to producing higher-quality content at significantly lower costs. The group pivoted away from its initial model, right-sized its operations, and leveraged AI to streamline its processes. "For us, AI isn't just a means to cut costs. We embrace it for its potential to add value," the CEO remarked. In 2023, Theories achieved an astounding turnaround. This prompted the decision to venture into creating news outlets on a massive scale. The forward-thinking group of companies envisions the future of publishing moving toward more personalized and localized content, and it aims to be at the forefront of this changing landscape. When asked how Theories leverages AI to guarantee this, Angleflod answered, "AI enables us to be relevant for our customers, capturing trends globally and locally. It's all about staying on the pulse of what's happening now and delivering content that aligns with high-intent searches." Essentially, AI enables Theories to identify global trends and delve into local nuances. The use of AI also extends to content research. AI technology automates the process of understanding the implications of trending topics, determining the questions users are seeking answers to, and creating content that directly addresses these needs. Unlike human writers who may lack cultural references for specific regions, AI possesses the capability to understand them, allowing it to connect the dots swiftly and accurately. This advantage significantly enhances efficiency. Angleflod emphasized, "Our approach to AI implementation is not about replacing existing processes. We augment them. Our goal is to add value in areas where conventional processes face limitations. For example, we can cover feature articles with local flavors in 100 countries. We focus on providing relevant, localized content adapted to diverse target groups to ensure that readers and consumers have an enriching experience. This is beyond challenging without AI assistance." Theories underscore its commitment to intelligent automation, promising to embed research, topic relevance, fact-checking, tonality, brand consistency, and editorial oversight into its processes to provide outputs of the highest quality. It plans to expand from eleven brands in over 50 countries to a thousand online brands in 100 countries within the next five years. With this, Theories Group is set to reshape media production and consumption with its bold vision, innovative strategies, and unique approaches that integrate the power of AI.

BitMEX CEO Warns of March Banking Crisis Risks Triggering 40% Bitcoin Price Plunge

Meme Moguls

In an alarming prediction, the CEO of BitMEX has warned investors of a potential banking crisis in March, which could trigger a 40% plunge in Bitcoin prices. On a brighter note, Meme Moguls is currently in its presale phase, offering an exciting opportunity for early investors to get on board before the predicted 100x. Let's jump into the details of these two contrasting events. The Potential Banking Crisis In March Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has forecasted a substantial downturn in the cryptocurrency market during March. He attributes this prediction to implications of the Bank Term Funding Program, the Reverse Repo Program, and the upcoming rate decision by the Federal Reserve. 1) Reverse Repo Program The Reverse Repo Program (RRP) uses securities and bonds as collateral to regulate short-term liquidity. Arthur Hayes points out that there has been a constant injection of liquidity into the financial markets driven by a reduction in the RRP balance. However, Hayes argues that this trend will come to an abrupt stop in March. Reduced liquidity in the financial markets could lead to a ripple effect on various industries, including cryptocurrencies. 2) Bank Term Funding Program The Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) is scheduled to expire on March 12. Arthur Hayes has speculated that U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen may initially hesitate to extend the BTTP program, which could cause a massive liquidity crunch in the financial markets. Hayes contends that should this scenario lead to the downfall of several central banks, akin to the financial collapses experienced in March of the previous year, it could compel Yellen to reconsider and ultimately renew the BTFP. However, this may be too late to prevent a substantial downturn in the cryptocurrency market. 3) Federal Reserve’s Rate Decision The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) must make a decision on whether to keep interest rates low or raise them on March 20th. Rates were raised in March 2021, but there is now a possibility that rates will be cut by 0.25% in the following meeting. Arthur Hayes' March Bitcoin Prediction Hayes predicts that the convergence of these elements could result in a drop of as much as 40% in Bitcoin's value. He foresees the drop occurring around the 12th of March, coinciding with broader financial market movements. Nevertheless, Hayes anticipates a recovery before the Federal Reserve meeting, spurred by the prospect of additional liquidity being pumped into the market. He also highlighted the Bitcoin halving due in April, which could see another bullish run for the cryptocurrency. Then there is the Bitcoin ETF, which has just been approved by the SEC. This could lead to a mass influx of institutional investment, potentially bolstering Bitcoin's value and mitigating any potential slump. Meme Moguls: A P2E Phenomenon in the Making Meme Moguls is poised to make a substantial impact in the play-to-earn (P2E) gaming market. Here, players can enjoy a fusion of learning, entertainment, and financial opportunity — with memes at the center of it all. Players are given $100,000 in virtual money to start their trading journey. Although this starting capital is not real, players can earn MGLS tokens and unique NFTs by excelling in trading contests and achieving specific goals. There are one-on-one battles, paid trading competitions, and a challenging "Beat the Market" mode, where players strive to outdo conventional indices like the S&P 500. Successful traders have the opportunity to ascend to 'Meme Mogul' status, where they can share their expertise for passive income. MGLS Tokens: A Potential 100x Surge Central to Meme Moguls' gameplay is the MGLS token. It not only functions as an in-game currency but also empowers players with governance rights, allowing them to influence platform developments. Additionally, staking MGLS tokens in the liquidity pool can yield passive income for holders. MGLS tokens can now be purchased for just $0.0027 during the 4th presale stage, representing a 42% surge since the presale began. This price will keep rising until all 1.8B tokens allocated to the presale are sold. With a market cap of just $8.10M at the current stage and a product that could be a massive hit in the $20B memecoin market, MGLS' potential for growth is significant. It's not improbable to predict a 50x increase in token value as the platform gains traction. Visit Meme Moguls Meme Moguls and all cryptocurrencies are subject to significant price fluctuations and volatility. Investing in or holding Meme Moguls tokens carries substantial risks, including the potential for total loss. Past performance should not be considered indicative of future results.

Is a Recession Looming in 2024? Hedging through Real Estate Investing with DLP Capital

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga As we march forward into 2024, the whispers of a potential recession continue to fester, echoing the financial challenges many Americans faced in 2023. Despite some positive signs in the economy, such as GDP growth and favorable unemployment data, the specter of a downturn looms, fueled by factors like the long and variable impact of the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes and a globally interconnected economy showing signs of strain. Europe, China and much of the developed world have effectively already fallen into a recession or are likely to do so, and experts predict a slowing of the global economy in 2024, so preparing for a potential downturn isn’t unreasonable. Looking specifically at the U.S., many experts including JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM), PIMCO, and Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB) have shared their concerns of at least a mild recession, with TD Securities noting, ”We put the odds of a U.S. recession at around 65%," citing interest rate effects, risk of government shutdown and a weaker labor market as the causes. With that uncertainty in mind, there are some resilient investments that may often be capable of weathering recessions better than others. One such asset is real estate – especially rental housing which is increasingly in demand in America. Why Real Estate Often Stands Strong During Recessions Real estate has historically demonstrated a remarkable ability to weather economic storms, particularly recessions. This stability stems from the intrinsic value of real property and its less direct correlation with market whims and investor sentiment shifts, which often plague the stock market during economic turmoil. When economies struggle, tangible assets like real estate can become a safe haven for investors seeking stability and more predictable cash flows. However, it's not just about stability. Real estate can also be a source of growth during downturns. While other investments may plummet in value real estate, such as multifamily properties or single-family rental communities, can hold their value and in some cases appreciate. This resilience can be attributed to several factors. First, real estate has an immutable role as a basic necessity. Everyone needs a place to live and keeps using real estate (their apartment, rental home, etc.) regardless of broader economic conditions. A family budget may get cut, but rent would usually be one of the last things to go. The demand for rental homes has especially been skyrocketing as the high cost of homeownership is increasingly unattainable for so many Americans. Second, real estate is used as a hedge against inflation. Because it’s a real, tangible asset, monetary debasement doesn’t impact its real value; it actually increases its nominal value, protecting wealth. Finally, rental income can provide steady investment cash flow. Harnessing The Power Of Real Estate With DLP Capital Enter DLP Capital, an organization harnessing the power of real estate to offer investors stable yet lucrative investment opportunities. With a range of funds like the DLP Preferred Credit Fund, DLP Building Communities Fund, DLP Lending Fund, and DLP Housing Fund, the firm targets annual net returns between 9% and 13%. However, its funds focus on much more than financial returns; they're about creating and preserving affordable workforce rental housing, a mission that serves a dual purpose of providing above-market returns for investors while addressing a critical societal need. DLP's funds are structured to capitalize on the strengths of real estate as an investment class. For instance, the Lending Fund focuses on first-position loans to seasoned real estate operators, such as multifamily owners, leveraging the security of real estate collateral. The Housing Fund and Building Communities Fund each take a more direct approach, investing in multifamily rental communities and new development projects, respectively. This diversification across different aspects of real estate not only spreads risk but can also provide resilience in downturns. A Path to Financial Stability and Growth In the face of a potential 2024 recession, DLP Capital's real estate-backed funds present potentially compelling strategic investments for investors. Its funds offer a direct path to surviving economic uncertainty with tried and true safe-haven assets but also provide opportunities for meaningful gains with target returns in the double digits. Nobody knows where the economy is headed, but the resilience of real estate investments can strike a great balance between asset protection and growth, regardless of economic fluctuations.
