OWC secured coverage in El Nuevo Herald for Abogada Julia

If you work overtime and are not paid, if your salary is lower because you are undocumented, if you are a victim of abuse because of your immigration status, if you are threatened with a call to “la migra,” you should know that you can apply for a T visa.

This would allow someone to obtain a work permit, a Social Security number and immigration protection, says attorney Giulia Fantacci, who works with survivors of human trafficking to legalize their status in the United States.

Fantacci, who has offices in Miami, and has Hispanicized her Italian name to become “Abogada Julia,” as she identifies herself on social networks, explains that this visa can help people who suffer sexual exploitation, and also those who have their wages “kidnapped,” one of the forms of labor exploitation.

“It can be a person who comes across the border and once they are in the country, they are not free to go where they want, they are forced to be in one place and they find themselves as a slave,” notes Fantacci, who has documented and told the stories of many people in the two years her office has been working with a large number of T-visa applicants.

Mastering Generative AI To Become a Trillionaire? | eNews from OWC

Mark Cuban feels the world’s first trillionaires will be people who master AI. OWC is mastering the generative AI of ChatGPT and has found it has a lot going for it. For one thing, it’s free. It works 24/7 and is always there for a text at midnight. It’s a good listener, never interrupts, fulfills tasks faster than a speeding intern and can tell us what we want to know.

If you ask ChatGPT for help in business, it can spit out solid first rough drafts of documents, provide instant responses to frequently asked questions and become a reliable guide for visitors to a website or mobile app. It can gather customer feedback effortlessly and hold a conversation well. Like a self-driving car, it can almost drive.

The problem is we still have to sit behind the wheel with both hands, ready to swerve if disaster looms. And that’s no better than the way we humans already do it! OWC has experimented with ChatGPT, also known as generative AI, and we suggest you do too.

Just keep both hands on the wheel because:

ChatGPT is a tool, nothing more. Generative AI brings us sources scraped from the Internet that have not been fact-checked and therefore rely on human feedback for accuracy and personalization. It can help with efficiency in pulling data together, but not a finished product.

ChatGPT can organize information, but not think. Companies and their customers, investors and employees know the difference, although the difference is coming as a surprise to college students whose ChatGPT essays are recognized by their professors. Only you know your customer’s needs and can personalize the content accordingly.

ChatGPT is learning on the job. In the real world, inaccuracies, biases and errors can get you fired. With ChatGPT, it is par for the course. Mistakes can impact the bottom line. Until a chatbot, or a self-driving car, can be held responsible, it can’t be trusted. Our partners at Digijaks explain that generative AI, such as ChatGPT, Google’s AI-powered search engine Bard and Microsoft’s Sydney, will change brand and individual reputation and search results – and Digijaks provides steps on what to do now to get ahead of the curve. Don’t miss their insights here.

We’re for innovation here at OWC, and always ready for greater efficiency and use of everybody’s time. That’s true for every business, or none of us would survive.

Someday, generative AI like ChatGPT will have a role in everything we do, perhaps even right up to the warm handshake that seals the deal.

When that day comes, shake on it. You can download ChatGPT today: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt.

Jessica Grib nearly died giving birth to her daughter, almost becoming a statistic impacting hundreds of women every year. Each year in the US, around 700 women who give birth die due to complications during childbirth.

Grib developed blood pressure issues around 35 weeks pregnant.

“I was chasing around a toddler so I thought this is just kind of pregnancy-related symptoms,” said Grib.

On Sept. 29, 2016, she had an emergency C-section and delivered her daughter. But that’s when things changed.

“I crashed and coded, the doctors and nurses came flooding into the room. They handed my daughter to my husband and said you need to get out,” Grib said.

Doctors say she flatlined for 36 hours, kept alive with the help of a small heart pump, called Impella.

“She suffered peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). PPCM is a form of heart failure that causes the heart chambers to enlarge and weaken at the end of pregnancy.

Two weeks after giving birth she was finally able to meet her daughter Amelia. She’s since made a full recovery and even had two additional children. But her story is one she wants others to hear.
