YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/m_aCzxxxWh4 Recent advancements in science show that there is so much you can do as you age to boost brain health. From diet and exercise to social connection, research is piecing together the puzzle of how to best care for your brain to help prevent neurological disease, and how to treat it if it develops. A newly expanded research study from the Michael J. Fox Foundation, The Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI), is helping scientists better understand what it means to be at risk for brain diseases such as Parkinson’s. Through important contributions from study volunteers – via online questionnaires and at clinical sites around the country -- PPMI is revolutionizing what we know about Parkinson’s today. Would it surprise you to learn that new research points to long-term smell loss as a potential indicator of Parkinson’s? Or, that people who are recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s are the most valuable contributors to this groundbreaking research? There is so much being done to better understand, identify and treat Parkinson’s – the world’s second most common brain disease. And PPMI is helping the field get closer than ever to answering those questions. The Study That Could Change Everything PPMI is on a mission to understand who is at risk for Parkinson’s, who gets it and why. The study’s recent expansion means that anyone over age 18 can help, regardless of whether you have Parkinson’s disease or not. The more people who join PPMI and share valuable health data online, the faster we can change everything about how brain diseases like Parkinson’s are diagnosed, treated and ultimately, prevented.

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. All Comcast RISE recipients will also have a specialized online networking community within Ureeka with access to educational resources, sources of capital, and vetted experts such as U.S. Black Chambers, National Asian Pacific Islander Chamber of Commerce & Entrepreneurship, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Association for Enterprise Opportunity, Walker’s Legacy and Operation Hope. Comcast RISE was formed in late 2020 to give small businesses owned by people of color the grants needed to not just survive, but thrive. From bakeries and barber shops to childcare centers and cleaning services, Comcast RISE has supported a variety of businesses, diversifying our local economies in more ways than one. There are more than 9,500 recipients from 704 cities across 37 states within the program. In November 2021, Comcast RISE announced a major expansion to all women-owned businesses nationwide. “It has been gratifying to see over 600 diverse California businesses across all industries and experiences benefiting from the Comcast RISE program,” said David Tashjian, Senior Vice President of Comcast for the California Region. “We want small businesses owned by women and people of color to continue to grow and thrive, overcoming the challenges of the current economy.” All eligible applicants will receive a monthly Comcast RISE newsletter with educational content, and all small business owners can visit the Comcast RISE destination on the X1 platform featuring aggregated small business news, tips, insights, and more. Just say “Comcast RISE” into the X1 voice remote. Comcast RISE is part of Project UP, the company’s comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities.

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.

Breaking the Stigma Around Obesity and Weight Loss Medication

YourUpdateTV

There is a long history of stigma surrounding obesity and weight loss medications. When diet and exercise don’t lead to effective weight loss, sometimes it’s our biology that’s holding us back. Recently, Dr. Rekha Kumar, Head of Medical Affairs at Found, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about personalized weight loss and its benefits. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/qUhnxU91uPY Science shows that our biology can dictate up to 70% of weight gain, loss, and maintenance — yet the weight loss industry still reduces a person’s success to diet, exercise, and willpower. A variety of biological factors like genetics, hormones, metabolic rate and others contribute to our body’s “setpoint weight,” which is a certain weight that your body favors that is usually at the higher end of the scale. Your body wants to stay at this weight and fights hard to keep you there, and will even lower your metabolism or amp up your hunger signals to get back to your set point weight. Blaming obesity on a lack of willpower can take a psychological toll, causing people to feel shame, guilt, frustration or judgment, and fail to address biology as the core issue. Why Prescription Medication for Weight Loss? Obesity is a complicated disease that affects 40% of the US population, and it takes a personalized approach to each individual’s biology to treat it. Prescription medication can help people lose weight by fighting against their biology. Some medications work by suppressing appetite, and others work by curbing cravings. Weight loss medications have different mechanisms, and a doctor will have to evaluate if you're a good candidate for any of them. Not every medication is right for every person, and it’s common that if one doesn't work, a clinician might recommend trying a different medication. Historically, clinical care pathways for obesity management have only been available for patients at premiere academic medical centers, and typically have long wait lists. The Found’s program addresses a clear gap in access to weight care: Today, more than 40% of Americans have obesity, and yet only 1% of physicians specialize in obesity medicine. The medications Found offers are supported by clinical evidence to be highly effective and safe for helping aid with weight loss. Found has seen that members receiving medication plus behavior change support on the Found program have lost at least 13% more weight, and in some cases up to 229% more weight, than people receiving the same medication in clinical studies. Found is the largest online weight care clinic in the country, helping more than 160,000 Americans with their weight loss journey to-date. Found offers 13 different medications that can be combined to create more than 60 different possible treatment paths, available through their Prescription Program, each uniquely paired to address a person's biological and medical history. Found’s wide toolkit of medications fundamentally helps to serve a broader audience than others in the space. The Practice of Responsible Prescribing Found-affiliated providers are trained in the Found treatment protocol, which looks at various factors to determine the medication that will be safest and most effective for a member’s individual needs.Found-affiliated practitioners prescribe both FDA-approved branded anti-obesity medications as well as off-label generic combinations when determined safe by the treating clinician. The medications prescribed are the same medications that are offered in premiere academic medical centers.Treatment through the Found platform expands access to obesity treatment by bypassing long waitlists for appointments and copays for visits at in-person clinics. Found-affiliated medical providers are expected to always provide treatment and care that is in the best interest of their patients. For more information on Found’s weight care program, please visit joinfound.com Bio for Dr. Rekha Kumar, M.D., M.S. Dr. Rekha Kumar is recognized as an international leader in the field of Obesity Medicine. She is Head of Medical Affairs at weight care platform Found, as well as a practicing endocrinologist at an academic medical center in New York City. She also served as the former medical director of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Dr. Kumar has lectured internationally on the topic of the medical assessment and treatment of obesity. She has published several papers and textbook chapters in her field and serves as an Associate Editor of the journal Obesity. She is frequently quoted in the media on topics ranging from the diabetes epidemic in the United States to discussing fad diets, exercise trends, and the complications of Covid-19 in patients with obesity. Dr. Kumar’s areas of expertise include the clinical assessment of patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome, the effect of obesity on reproductive health and fertility, and thyroid disease. Dr. Kumar completed her undergraduate studies at Duke University then received her master’s degree in Physiology from Georgetown University. She continued on to receive her M.D. from New York Medical College and completed her residency training in Internal Medicine at the New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill-Cornell Medical College.

Plant-Based Holiday Meals

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. You may be surprised to learn that oatmilk has a variety of uses beyond your morning cup of coffee – including taking the place of traditional dairy in some of your most beloved recipes. 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. Derived from plant-based ingredients, meaning its free from any animal-based byproducts, oatmilk provides a number of nutrients, including fiber and vitamin B12. 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.
