Colin Matthew Awards Red Carpet Attendees Display the True Spirit of Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 12, 2025 / The City Los Angeles celebrated with the Be Inspirational Foundation, the Saint Vinson Eugene Allen Foundation, and 2024 honoree actor Ernest Harden Jr. on Saturday Sept. 6, 2025, for the second Annual 2025 Colin Matthew $50,000 Hand-Up Awards and Gala. The iconic Los Angeles Biltmore hotel was "the place to be" on Saturday night – the red carpet was a powerful mix of city officials and A-list celebrities for an evening dedicated to fundraising for adults and children with special needs. This year’s special honorees are legendary stars of television and film – Keith David, Marla Gibbs, Garrett Morris, and Richard Lawson.

Dr. Vinson Eugene Allen and his wife Dr. Connie Yu, founders of the Colin Matthew $50,000 Hand-Up Awards, hosted a sold-out event, with parking to match. The dynamic duo captivated and dazzled a packed audience with heartfelt stories, and lighthearted moments. The couple received humble recognitions from city officials and state representatives, including acknowledgments from the Office of Mayor Karen Bass, the Office of Laura Richardson, Councilwoman Bridget Lewis, the Office of Fiona MA and many others. The award show featured many families and caregivers, who also were celebrated for their heroic stand, fighting battles alone, while living with disabilities.

The energy was exciting as music headliner Club Nouveau ignited the crowd with an energetic performance that drew both attendees and celebrities onto the dance floor. Master of Ceremonies Dannon Green kept the crowd entertained with his comedy styles, while special guest Ernest Harden Jr., a passionate advocate for families with special needs, delivered a heartfelt speech on the importance of community support. The evening also featured a memorable and humorous reunion between Harden (Marcus) and his former co-star from The Jeffersons Marla Gibbs (Florence), whose warm camaraderie delighted the audience.

A standout moment during the award show featured the Allen children. Colin Matthew Allen, age 11, the evening’s namesake and known for his passion for helping others, captivated the audience with an unscripted and genuinely charming surprising address to the crowd. His younger sister, 8-year-old Aliani Allen, followed – her effervescent smile and bubbly demeanor radiating youthful enthusiasm addressing the audience. The elder brother Vinson Eugene Allen Jr., age 13, then delivered an inspiring, heartfelt speech about the extensive work and contributions their parents have provided to thousands of families. His words of gratitude and his commitment to serve alongside his parents created a truly memorable highlight. Vinson Jr., poised and an eloquent speaker, mark him as a promising figure to watch in Los Angeles leadership and as a young Hollywood actor.

Embracing this year’s inspiring theme "The Silent Wave of Love," the Foundation is dedicating a significant portion of the 2025 Colin Matthew $50,000 Hand-Up Award proceeds to its new "Making Dreams Come True" initiative. This ambitious project will give 1,000 children an unforgettable trip to Disneyland Park in 2026. This heartfelt initiative was a central focus of this year’s award show and gala to help make these dreams a reality for so many children. Donate today at beinspirational.org.

For over two decades, Dr. Vinson Eugene Allen and his wife Dr. Connie Yu Allen have dedicated their careers to serving underserved communities throughout California and across the United States.

"The K-pop community’s presence within the Recording Academy has grown significantly in recent years," said Qiana Conley Akinro. "Through the launch of the Gold Music Alliance resource group, we hope to further engage more music professionals from the Asian and Pacific Islander+ community and ensure their voices help shape the future of global music recognition."

"K-pop delivers sounds and messages that resonate worldwide," added Isaac Lee. "In the coming years, HYBE will launch bold new artists who build on the K-pop blueprint while creating something entirely new."

Bing Chen noted, "K-pop’s rise reflects the collective power of authentic cultural expression fused with strategic innovation. Partnering with HYBE and the Gold Music Alliance, we hope to use this blueprint to chart the future of entertainment for all."

A high-level panel moderated by Billboard’s Tetris Kelly brought together Mitra Darab (President, HYBE x Geffen Records), Rick Choi (Global Tour Promoter, Live Nation), Joon Choi (President, Weverse Company), and Jonathan Yip (Grammy Award-winning Producer & Recording Academy LA Chapter National Trustee). Together, they emphasized K-pop’s enduring influence on global touring, streaming, and fan engagement.

"K-Pop is not just a phenomenon. It’s here to stay." – Mitra Darab

"The growth now is exponential. So it feels like, to me, the sky’s the limit." – Jonathan Yip

"K-Pop fans are the most enthusiastic, dedicated, and committed." – Rick Choi

"K-Pop artists really believe the fans are their partner." – Joon Choi

New Dalet intelligent interface simplifies even the most complex production and media supply chain operations, enabling users to streamline workflows through a familiar, natural language user experience.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2025 / Dalet today announced a transformative leap forward for media operations: Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) that unifies the Dalet ecosystem under one natural language conversational‑style user experience. Far more than an AI chatbot, Dalia is an intelligent layer embedded across Dalet Flex, Dalet Pyramid, Dalet InStream, Dalet Brio, and Dalet Amberfin, featuring a family of media-aware agents that act as assistants to facilitate complex workflows across ingest, production, rights management, distribution and archive. By combining the simple-to-use characteristics of SaaS point solutions with the enterprise strength of Dalet’s architecture and workflow expertise, the company has made a game-changing move forward, giving customers both the industry’s most powerful news, sports, and media supply chain solution and its most user‑friendly.

"After a year of shaping and executing our product strategy, we’re thrilled to bring this vision to life," said Stephen Garland, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Dalet. "From day one, we have challenged ourselves and the industry to deliver the kind of seamless, user‑centric experience that consumers now expect. What we’re unveiling isn’t just another tool or AI chatbot. It’s intelligence beyond an agent, a transformational leap that unifies the entire Dalet ecosystem under a single interface. With this launch, media professionals can reimagine how they work, leveraging the full power of our platform through a conversation with a trusted assistant."

Read about Dalet’s product strategy and journey in Stephen’s article: Breaking the Bottleneck: Building Time to Value Solutions.

Built on Dalet’s open core API, the agentic interface sits above all applications in the Dalet portfolio, offering a single conversational entry point to powerful functions. Users can ask the agent to locate assets, build title collections based on rights status, trigger review workflows, or schedule live ingest, and the system will execute these tasks end‑to‑end.

Unlike generic chatbots, Dalet’s conversational AI interface and Agents are "media aware": trained on the company’s own orchestration and media engine, not on customer data. This allows users to securely interact with a full range of media types directly within the chat. Training and analyzing of media is done within the core platform, providing complete control of what engines access customers’ content. Dalet AI Agents understand how to search, clip, transcode, and package content without users leaving the chat. This approach augments traditional user interfaces for many day‑to‑day tasks, giving users the ability to perform complex operations with ease.

Inside Dalet’s Innovative In-House Start-Up
The new Agentic AI capability is the result of Dalet’s bold approach to innovation, driven by Dalet CPTO, Stephen Garland. Building on his proven track record of scaling innovation across other industries, Stephen defined and executed a strategy for media that combines the rigor of an enterprise roadmap with the agility of a startup. To accelerate this vision, he established a "startup within Dalet". The cross-functional team was led by Erwan Kerfourn, together with Matteo De Martinis and Aaron Kroger.

"This started as a ‘Skunk Works’ inside Dalet, a startup-style lab where a cross-functional team could move at breakneck speed," said Erwan Kerfourn. "By combining that freedom to experiment with Dalet’s agile architecture, we turned bold ideas into a market-ready breakthrough. The result is an intelligent layer that feels like a media-savvy colleague, eliminating friction from workflows and giving customers new freedom to create, sell, distribute, and publish faster than ever."

Operating at a rapid pace, while remaining aligned with Dalet’s overall strategy, the team could experiment, iterate, and bring breakthrough ideas to market without disrupting daily operations.

Experience Dalia at IBC2025 – Hall 7, Stand A43
Attendees are invited to schedule a meeting with the Dalia team to explore how Dalet’s latest innovation can help organizations unlock greater operational efficiencies and new business opportunities.

Revolutionary MiOptics to help with headache, concussion/TBI, anxiety, PTSD, sleep, pain and other conditions using Percept Corporation’s patented Narrow-Band Green Light glasses.

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2025 / Percept Corporation and decorated U.S. Navy veteran Shane Osborn announce their strategic partnership to bring MiOptics’ groundbreaking health benefits to veterans, active service members and the public. This collaboration includes a teaming agreement for therapeutic optics products for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), expanding access to a science-backed, noninvasive, drug-free solution for neurological and pain-related conditions – with no known side effects.

Percept Corporation, a leading U.S. technology company, has pioneered the commercialization of MiOptics™, a patented therapeutic optics innovation in Augmented Perception™ technology designed to improve neurological health. Shane Osborn is an American Navy veteran hero who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by President George W. Bush for his extraordinary heroism in safely piloting a damaged reconnaissance aircraft to safety after a mid-air collision over China in 2001.

Osborn, former Treasurer of the State of Nebraska and an experienced businessman, is teaming with Percept Corporation through his Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). He is devoted to helping other veterans like himself who suffer from PTSD, headaches and other conditions related to military service.

MiOptics leverages Percept Corporation’s augmented perception technology, which mitigates disruptive color wavelengths in naturally occurring light. By allowing only narrow-band green light (nbGL) to reach the eyes, the nbGL technology behind MiOptics has been clinically shown to help alleviate migraines, headaches, PTSD-related symptoms, sleep issues and other neurological conditions – all without the need for medications or invasive procedures. This breakthrough has been validated in over 15 independent clinical studies, published in leading peer-reviewed journals such as BRAIN, Journal of Neurology, Psychology Research and Behavior Management, and The Journal of Pain. "This technology has the potential to help patients affected by migraine, photophobia, anxiety and sleep difficulties," stated world-renowned Harvard neuroscientist and current president of the International Headache Society Rami Burstein, Ph.D., who pioneered the research behind nbGL.

As expressed by Osborn, "MiOptics can transform veterans’ health in a way that puts veterans in charge of their own health in a very efficient form that is one-tenth the cost of doctors’ appointments or prescriptions. I have PTSD and resulting headaches. I was having a daily headache attack that took me out of work for two hours. After I put on the MiOptics glasses for the first time, within minutes I felt better and was able to work. The experience was amazing, and I use them all the time now."

Veterans living with headaches/migraines, PTSD/anxiety and other conditions is a major health problem that MiOptics can help address in an efficient and complementary manner with existing VA and non-VA programs. In an interview, Dr. Jason Sico, National Director of the VA Headache Centers of Excellence, stated: "Two million veterans treated for headache is an impressive number. But it’s an underestimate. There are a lot of veterans living and suffering with migraine and other headache diseases who are not being treated. It’s not uncommon for us to hear that people think, ‘The headache is all in my head, and I need to suck it up and deal with it.’"

According to Percept Corporation’s CEO, Dr. Scott Lewis, "MiOptics offers a noninvasive, drug-free and side-effect-free alternative that complements existing VA and private-sector treatments, giving veterans, active service members and their families, and the millions of others in the general public, new tools to reclaim their quality of life." Brigadier General Michael Meese (U.S. Army, ret.), chairman of the VA transition team for the first Trump administration, added that, "MiOptics can be used in conjunction with medical treatments and as an alternative to depending solely on costly medications and access to a medical specialist, which is not possible in many parts of the United States and the world."

In conjunction with the teaming agreement with Osborn, Percept Corporation will be building out the Veterans Preferred Provider Program (VPPP) – a network of the best ophthalmologist and optometrist offices in the country who will work through Percept Corporation and the teaming agreement to offer the VA and local VA hospitals and clinics the opportunity to make novel services such as MiOptics more accessible to veterans and active service members and their families nationwide at discounted rates. A growing list of these providers can be found on the MiOptics.Shop website in the "Find a Clinic Near Me" section. MiOptics can be purchased at these participating offices, through independent North American optical lab partners and directly on the forthcoming MiOptics.Shop.

Based in Las Vegas, Percept Corporation has staff in the U.S. and Italy, in addition to partners in Canada, Europe and Asia. The intellectual property underlying Percept Corporation’s technology includes licenses for over 47 U.S. and worldwide patents.
