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.

Future of School Files Counterclaims Against Stride, Inc. for Breaching Agreement to Donate $2.3 Million

Future of School

Future of School, Inc., a national nonprofit that seeks to advance innovative K-12 and blended learning programs, recently filed counterclaims in a lawsuit filed against it by Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN). The counterclaims allege that Stride, a publicly traded education company, reneged on its agreement to donate $2.3 million to Future of School after it repeatedly and publicly announced its financial support of the charity. Stride publicized the pledged donations in multiple public filings, including its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report, as well as in filings with the SEC and IRS. Future of School was founded in 2015. Before it transitioned to a public charity, it was a private foundation originally formed by Stride itself. From 2016 to 2021, Future of School awarded more than $2.3 million in higher education scholarships and provided more than $430,000 in grants to individual educators to support and recognize educators for their innovative blended and online programs. Future of School also created a remote learning relief fund during the pandemic to assist educators. Through robust outreach, creative grant-making programs, a national Podcast series, and rewarding students who forge new learning pathways with scholarships, Future of School has impacted thousands of students and teachers across America. In June of 2021, Stride’s CEO James Rhyu agreed to donate $3.5 million in unrestricted funds over a five-year period. At Stride’s request, Future of School and Stride executed a signed agreement formalizing the commitment to donate the funds. And in 2021, Stride donated the first $1.2 million. According to the counterclaims, in mid-2022, as Stride’s stock price experienced significant volatility, the company unilaterally informed Future of School that it would no longer be honoring its obligation. The counterclaims further allege that Stride failed to follow through on $2.3 million in promised donations, causing considerable harm to the nonprofit, as the funds were intended by Stride to allow Future of School to complete its transition from private foundation to public charity. After Future of School identified Stride’s breach of the agreement and demanded that it honor its commitment to donate the funds, Stride ceased communicating and instead filed a lawsuit. Since Stride failed to provide the money it promised, Future of School has been forced to cut its staff and vital programs that have served students, educators, and parents across the country since 2016. On the other hand, Stride has continued to reap the benefits of its former partnership with Future of School through ongoing publicity, even after reneging on its charitable pledge. The counterclaims state that “Stride made significant efforts to portray itself as an ESG-focused corporation and consistently reported on its donation commitment to Future of School, bringing the company significant positive publicity, both in the eyes of the general public and institutional investors.” Nevertheless, Stride sued Future of School to try to get a court to declare that the agreement to donate the funds is not enforceable. Future of School is a national public charity mobilizing change in American K–12 education from a one-size-fits-all system to one that ensures all students reach their unbounded potential no matter where their learning takes place. More information is available at www.futureof.school. A copy of the counterclaims and other documents related to the lawsuit can be downloaded here and at LawsuitPressRelease.com.

SPARK Microsystems and UBITO to Develop Wireless, Battery-less IoT Sensors Leveraging UWB Technology

SPARK Microsystems

SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation ultra-wideband (UWB), and UBITO, part of FRABA group and offering components for magnetic sensing, energy harvesting and wireless transmission, have partnered to develop a range of UWB-based wireless sensing and IoT solutions. This partnership will allow UBITO to leverage SPARK Microsystems’ UWB technology for wireless, battery-less sensor applications in multiple industries, including smart home, industrial automation, and condition monitoring. “A revolution in sensing technology – sensors with no wires or batteries – is achievable today thanks in part to innovations like SPARK UWB that deliver extreme energy efficiency to significantly reduce overall sensor power requirements,” said Raphael Mehrbians, CMO, SPARK Microsystems. “The combined benefits of SPARK’s UWB technology and UBITO’s energy harvesting make this partnership ideal for short range wireless communications targeting sensors and IoT applications.” UBITO’s products are based on its unique Wiegand energy harvesting technology for contactless, battery-less, and wireless sensors. The expanded product portfolio of UBITO solutions will generate sufficient energy to power wireless data communications and other sensing and IoT technologies over the UWB spectrum. These solutions will leverage SPARK Microsystems’ UWB technology to wirelessly transmit data at low-power, ultra-low latency, and high-speeds. UWB is an ideal wireless transmission technology solution because its transmitting power is only consumed by short pulses instead of a constantly powered frequency generator. The joint solutions will support the rapid development of IoT applications and are more sustainable because they will not require batteries to operate. The aggregate energy savings and reduced battery usage will ultimately help reduce landfill waste, CO 2 emissions and other toxic environmental contamination. “With SPARK’s UWB, a single pulse provides enough energy to wirelessly transmit data from a wireless sensor node supplied by energy harvesting from a Wiegand generator,” said Toby Best, General Manager, UBITO. SPARK is offering demonstrations of the joint UWB-based wireless sensing and IoT solutions at CES 2023. The demonstrations will show how SPARK’s UWB technology is used to wirelessly transmit data at low-power, ultra-low latency, and high-speeds in UBITO Wiegand wireless IoT solution. About SPARK Microsystems SPARK Microsystems is a fabless semiconductor company that is leading the way towards ultra-low power wireless communications for consumer and IoT-connected devices. With its patented technologies, SPARK Microsystems is bringing to market a high-performance wireless transceiver that allows for orders of magnitude improved power consumption, latency and more accurate ranging and positioning, while providing higher data rates than competing technologies. For more information, please visit www.sparkmicro.com. About UBITO UBITO is a newly formed enterprise that specializes in the development and promotion of Wiegand technologies for commercial and industrial applications. It functions as a concept incubator, while also marketing Wiegand sensor products for industrial application such as fluid meters and multiturn rotary encoders. UBITO is a member of the international FRABA group, whose history dates back to 1918, when its predecessor, Franz Baumgartner elektrische Apparate GmbH, was established in Cologne, Germany to manufacture relays. Since then, the company has played a trendsetting role in the development of rotary encoders, inclinometers and other sensor products. For more information, please visit www.ubito.com.
