LAS VEGAS, Dec. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Remark Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARK), a diversified global technology company with leading artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions and digital media properties, today announced that several large banks in China, including the Bank of China, have installed the Smart Customer Retail Platform created by Remark’s KanKan AI business to act as a centralized, interactive hub for the marketing and sale of the banks’ products and services. For the Bank of China, the installation of the Smart Customer Retail Platform represents the first in a series of systematic upgrades planned by the bank. The initial installations are expected to generate approximately $1.5 million in revenue during Remark’s fourth quarter.

“The banking industry has gradually transformed from the traditional method of bank employees providing services at the counter to highly personalized AI-driven interactive services. Bank of China’s implementation of Remark AI’s system reflects the initial capture of the Chinese banking industry’s estimated $2 billion annual budget upgrade opportunity as 20,000 branches of major banks are scheduled to be upgraded each year,” noted Kai-Shing Tao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Remark Holdings. “The Smart Customer Retail Platform, which integrates Kankan AI platform, can be customized to meet each branch’s marketing goals by personalizing services for each customer.”

KanKan AI’s computer vision technology identifies customers, allowing the banks to know whom they are interacting with and also providing targeted and personalized marketing information. Customers can use the platform to complete transactions such as the purchase of investment products and the completion of credit card applications. In addition, Kankan AI provides valuable feedback to bank managers by analyzing customers’ interactions on a real-time basis.

Given the initial success, KanKan AI is targeting sales to an additional 500 branches of the banks that participated in the recent pilot rollouts of the Smart Customer Retail Platform.

Additional information regarding KanKan AI and its other innovative solutions can be found on its website (www.remarkdip.com).

LANHAM, Md. and LARGO, Md. and WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — 2U, Inc. (Nasdaq: TWOU), a Lanham-based global education technology company, has partnered with Employ Prince George’s (EPG), the principal workforce development entity for Prince George’s County, to launch the Access 2 Education Scholarship Fund. This fund is designed to help build the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region’s pipeline of technical talent and provide access to high-quality training programs for local residents with a particular focus on serving the Black and Latinx communities as well as women and individuals from low-income households. 

“Today is a major milestone for Prince George’s County and Employ Prince George’s as we partner with 2U and the George Washington UniversityCollege of Professional Studies to launch the Access 2 Education Scholarship Fund in order to expand access and build the region’s talent pipeline,” said Walter Simmons, President and CEO of Employ Prince George’s. “Through our partnership with 2U and GW, County residents will be better equipped for in-demand careers in industries where they have been underrepresented for far too long. We are proud to serve our residents by ensuring they have career pathways that lead to success and to employment that will pay a livable wage. We want to prepare people for jobs that can help them purchase a home, and this is an example of that.”

The fund will provide County residents with scholarships to enroll in career-accelerating online boot camps in Coding, Data Analytics, UX/UI, Digital Marketing, and Cybersecurity through a partnership with 2U and the George Washington UniversityCollege of Professional Studies. Adult learners admitted into the program will receive a 65 percent tuition reduction, bringing the cost of the program down to $3,500. A 24-month, interest-free financing option will also be available. Prince George’s County residents can apply for the scholarship through EPG beginning today through Dec. 31, 2020 for courses beginning in January and February 2021. The scholarship will serve between 20 and 30 students to start. 

“We are proud to call Prince George’s County home, and our new Access 2 Education Scholarship and partnership with Employ Prince George’s and the George Washington UniversityCollege of Professional Studies is a great opportunity for 2U to give back to our local community through what we do best—delivering high-quality online higher education,” said David Sutphen, 2U’s Chief Strategy and Engagement Officer. “By creating affordable and accessible career pathways for Prince George’s County residents who have been historically underrepresented in technology-related jobs, this new public-private partnership will help meet one of the County’s most critical needs.” 

A significant issue facing Prince George’s County, the Washington D.C. metropolitan region, and the rest of the country is the persistent tech talent gap, which has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the digital transformation of all industries accelerating, businesses need professionals who are trained in new technologies to execute on their business plans. In partnership with 2U and the George Washington UniversityCollege of Professional Studies, EPG will tackle these gaps head on by creating access to tech training programs that will prepare residents for in-demand jobs. 

“Demand for tech talent in the DMV—and nationwide—will continue far into the future, and our job at GW is to meet that challenge head on by delivering market-driven, relevant, and accessible learning opportunities to students and working professionals in our community,” said Melissa Feuer, Acting Dean of the George Washington UniversityCollege of Professional Studies. “The Access 2 Education Scholarship is a great example of how companies, universities, and workforce development agencies can come together to build and diversify local talent pipelines.” 

Today’s announcement builds on 2U’s current boot camp scholarships aimed at creating a more diverse tech workforce. 2U-powered online boot camps educate working adults across a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels and have a strong track record of meeting the needs of local employers. More than 25,000 participants have graduated from these programs and thousands of organizations employ them, including 50 percent of Fortune 100 companies. In 2019 alone, 2U’s Career Services team—which prepares boot camp graduates to be employer-competitive—made 7,000 referrals to employers. 2U’s boot camp programs are considered top hiring sources among 2U’s network of over 200 employers, including many in Prince George’s County. 

“When workforce development leaders, universities, businesses, and communities work together, a great deal can be accomplished,” said Simmons. “This scholarship is an example of how public-private partnerships can increase access to quality educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations, while ultimately meeting the needs of local businesses.”

Local Employers Invited to Get Involved

To date, the fund has raised over $60,000 with support from companies like Gilbane Construction and Element 84. With additional investments from local employers, the scholarship program can expand even further. Help build a diverse pipeline of local tech talent and benefit from 2U’s talent matching and referral services for those awarded scholarships, while meeting the County’s acute employment needs in the wake of COVID-19. Get more information about the Access 2 Education Scholarship Fund and the talent matching services 2U will provide participating companies, or join our webinar on December 9 to learn even more.

Eat Just Inc. is a global leader with its process of making clean, sustainable meat and eggs

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Eat Beyond Global Holdings Inc. (CSE: EATS) (OTCPK: EATBF) (FSE: 988) (“Eat Beyond” or the “Company“), an investment issuer focused on the global plant-based and alternative food sector, is announcing that its portfolio company, Eat Just Inc., a San Francisco-based food tech company that produces meat and egg substitutes, has been approved to sell its lab-grown chicken product in Singapore. Singapore is the first government to allow the sale of cultured meat.

“Cellular agriculture technology makes it possible to produce meat without the need to actually slaughter any animals,” said Patrick Morris, CEO of Eat Beyond. “The end product is very similar, but it is made without the vast inputs and negative externalities associated with modern factory farming. Singapore’s small geographic footprint and advanced economy have made it a hotbed for cellular agriculture and food tech innovation, and truly the global leader.”

Singapore’s government is aiming to shift its food production so that 30% of food demand will be met by local agricultural production in the next decade. At present, Singapore’s 5.7 million people are highly reliant on other nations, with only 10% of food being produced domestically.

“Lab-grown meat is more humane and sustainable and doesn’t require large amounts of land as traditional agriculture does. The next challenge that must be overcome in this industry is to work out how to reduce the cost of production, as it is currently still very expensive to produce these products,” added Morris. “I believe that we will see this breakthrough in the near future, it’s just a matter of time.”

Eat Just, is currently a private company, but has expressed that it plans to pursue an initial public offering in the U.S. Eat Beyond is committed to working closely with its portfolio companies and is very hands-on, offering support, sharing industry connections, and providing expertise.

Eat Beyond’s portfolio also includes TurtleTree Labs and SingCell. TurtleTree is recreating the full composition, functionality, and taste of milk by developing the technology to produce the unique components of milk sustainably as well as integrating those components into products. SingCell offers a proprietary platform to enable global alternative meat companies to develop scalable processes for clean meat manufacturing.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Deram Records originally released David Bowie’s self-titled debut album on June 1, 1967, the very same day as The Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band. While it was not a hit at the time, over the past 50 years it’s gained a reputation for being a perfect snapshot of the time and has earned plaudits for being one of the first contemporary pop albums to be sung in an English accent. Bowie himself revisited songs from this era in 2000 re-recording the likes of “Silly Boy Blue” for an album called Toy which remains unreleased.

The album may not have been a huge success but there were music writers who saw something in Bowie, the NME called it “All very refreshing” and that he was “a very promising talent.”

The biography prepared at the time describes David Bowie thus “His remarkable powers of observation enable him to write with humour and wit about the people, loved and unloved, and the attitudes, lovely and unlovely, that constitute today’s society. A recent bout of ‘flu enabled him to pen half a dozen songs to go on a forthcoming Deram LP. In fact, David is one of the very few artists commissioned for an album before a single. Simultaneously, David is writing songs and situations for a colour film in which he is to star and putting the finishing touches to a unique cabaret act.“

The album will be released for the first time as picture disc on January 29th and will be made available exclusively via https://UMCUK.lnk.to/DavidBowieLP.

Gold Rush is available on Challenger T/A, T/A 392, SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Redeye models. SRT models in Gold Rush require the Satin Black hand-painted hood, roof and decklid.

For the 2021 model year, Dodge delivers the drag-strip dominating 807-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock, the new 797-horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Redeye, the most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan in the world, and the new 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, the most powerful SUV ever. Combined, these three muscle cars make Dodge the industry’s most powerful brand, offering more horsepower than any other American brand across its entire lineup.

In 2020, Dodge was named the “#1 Brand in Initial Quality,” making it the first domestic brand ever to rank No. 1 in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS). The Dodge brand also ranked No. 1 in the J.D. Power APEAL Study (mass market). These results are historic because it marks the first time a domestic brand has earned top spots in both J.D. Power studies in the same year.

Dodge is part of the portfolio of brands offered by global automaker Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. For more information regarding FCA (NYSE: FCAU/ MTA: FCA), please visit www.fcagroup.com.
