Chef Christian Bowman’s Unique Culinary Creations Fuel The NBA’s Talented Athletes


Christian Bowman cooks for NBA Talent

A rising star in both men and women’s health and lifestyle audience, it takes a chef who has cooked for stars like Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook, and Jimmy Butler, to know how to compose a diet fit for a champion.

In the United States, we regard chefs as a talented creative and necessary resource of our time. With countless awards, reviews, and media, there is no shortage of phenomenal restaurants for guests to visit. Meet the chef behind the scenes in the private kitchens of the most exceptional talent in the world. Christian Bowman, Chef to NBA All-Stars and celebrities, is a culinary master with raw natural born talent.

A team is more than just the players and, much like an excellent recipe, requires specific ingredients to thrive: family, dedication, loyalty, community, love, and health. Without all of these ingredients, persistence somewhere weakens. Food is the common ground that links everything together, and Chef Christian Bowman’s diverse and unique palate is what is needed both on and off the court.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Christian grew up in a very rough part of South Central LA, where, unfortunately, gangs and drugs are present. Chef’s faith in God, his friendships, and his family, as well as his hard work in the culinary industry, now inspires the community. Chef Cbo’s value is widely recognized in celebrity communities as perfectly tailored dishes that are always new and innovative. We are seeing a rise in the demand for portioned and unique ways of eating. The meal-kit industry now valued at over 1.5 billion dollars and rising needs chefs with Cbo’s talent to push forward and stand out among competitors.

A rising star in both men and women’s health and lifestyle audience, it takes a chef who has cooked for stars like Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook, and Jimmy Butler, to know how to compose a diet fit for a champion. Requested by the best personal trainers, celebrities, and athletes, Chef Cbo knows how to accommodate the needs of his client without hesitation. His real gift lies in his limitless creativity and beautiful spirit. He will launch a recipe blog taking you behind the scenes of his best recipes in January 2020.

As we see significant and long overdue recognition for our African American chefs here in the US, he is one to watch. This holiday season, he recommends a Spiral Honey Baked Ham as the main dish to be a crowd-pleaser and for more plating ideas follow him on Instagram @chefcbo

Clever Ways That Will Help Drivers Lower Their Car Insurance Premiums


News Image

“Nowadays, saving money on car insurance has become easier than ever before. From improving the credit score to bundling multiple policies, there are multiple methods that can help anyone save money on car insurance”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how policyholders can obtain cheaper car insurance.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/lower-car-insurance-premiums/

There are many drivers that consider car insurance to be too expensive. However, car insurance is a necessity for many drivers that can’t imagine doing their daily routines without driving their vehicles. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways that can help drivers save money on car insurance.

To lower the price of car insurance, drivers should follow the next tips:


  • Keep a clean driving record. Drivers that manage to avoid getting a traffic ticket or causing an accident for a specific number of years, will be rewarded with a discount by their insurers.
  • Pay for the whole policy at once. Policyholders can save hundreds of dollars per year, if they decide to pay for the whole policy at once, rather than paying monthly for car insurance premiums.
  • Improve the credit score. The credit score is an important factor that helps the insurers determine the insurance premiums. Drivers with an average or poor credit score will pay more than those that have a good or excellent credit score.
  • Drive less. Drivers that for different reasons are driving fewer miles than usual, should contact their insurers and check if they can qualify for a low-mileage discount.
  • Select a higher deductible. The deductible is the amount a policyholder has to pay out of his pocket whenever he is filing a claim. Raising the deductible will help drivers pay less on car insurance.
  • Bundle multiple policies. Drivers that have multiple policies like car insurance, homeowner’s insurance, renter’s insurance or life insurance, should contact their insurance providers and check if they can bundle multiple policies. Usually, insurance companies will offer great discounts to policyholders that are combining multiple policies with them.

The latest AI breast cancer identification system, Transpara™ 1.6 will be showcased at RSNA 2019


News Image

What’s exciting about Transpara 1.6 is that there is now evidence to show that it is catching high grade cancers earlier so that treatment can begin earlier and so improve a woman’s chances of a cure

Transpara™ 1.6, the leading Artificial Intelligence decision support system for breast cancer screening, that uses deep learning algorithms to automatically detect potential breast cancer in 2D and 3D DBT mammograms, will be unveiled at the Annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting, December 1-6, 2019 (ScreenPoint Medical, South Hall #4380).

The software uniquely ranks mammograms on a 10-point scale indicating the short term risk that cancer is present. Independent clinical validations demonstrate that this Transpara Exam Score can reduce workload and help radiologists prioritise patients for further investigation. Interactive decision support is provided to assist radiologists with image interpretation. Studies have shown that Transpara matches the performance of radiologists , thus acting as a ‘second pair of eyes’ which increases diagnostic confidence and accuracy .

Transpara is CE Marked for use with 2D mammography and 3D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images from multiple vendors and is installed at leading breast imaging centers in Europe. Transpara is FDA Cleared for use with 2D mammography in the U.S. and is pending FDA Clearance for use with 3D DBT.

“The showcasing of Transpara 1.6 at RSNA demonstrates our focus on continually improving to ensure we can provide our clients with the best commercially available breast AI,” said Nico Karssemeijer, CEO for ScreenPoint Medical. “We understand that reading 3D mammography presents radiologists with huge workload and reading time challenges compared to 2D. With feedback from the field, we redesigned the Transpara 1.6 interface and utilised our patented co-registration slice technology to optimise reading workflow and to ensure peace of mind. Users just click on the region of interest on the synthetic 2D image and are immediately taken directly to the exact slice which saves time.”

“ScreenPoint’s aim is to help radiologists to identify and diagnose breast cancer as early as possible whilst minimizing problems associated with mammography including over-diagnosis. What’s exciting about Transpara 1.6 is that there is now evidence to show that it is catching high grade cancers earlier so that treatment can begin earlier and so improve a woman’s chances of a cure,” said ScreenPoint co-founder, Professor Sir Michael Brady.

Pieter Kroese, COO of ScreenPoint Medical, said: “International interest in the success of the Transpara system has been growing rapidly: Transpara is now being used or piloted in around 20 countries around the world and the feedback from radiologists has been universally positive. We are extremely fortunate to have some excellent partners who have seen at first hand the benefits Transpara can bring to increasingly busy radiologists.”

Transpara is marketed in the USA by Siemens Healthineers USA and Volpara Solutions, a wholly owned sales and marketing arm of Volpara Health Technologies.

Following the successful launch of ScreenPoint Medical’s medical education program at EUSOBI this year, ScreenPoint is collaborating with Siemens Healthineers for Transpara self-reading workshop sessions (10:15 – 5:00pm, Sunday 1 December -Thursday 5 December) in the North Hall at booth #8563”

Transpara will also be featured in an abstract accepted for presentation: ‘Artificial Intelligence Detecting Breast Cancer in a Screening Population: Accuracy, Earlier Detection on Prior Mammograms and Relation with Cancer Grade. Sunday, Dec. 1st 11:55am to 12:05pm in Room S406A.’

“For our users, being able to manage and optimise Microsoft, Google and Facebook Ads in one platform will make optimisation easier and quicker than ever before, removing any barriers between them and their competitors.”

The Microsoft Advertising partner program recognises expertise within the search industry to celebrate growth and provide exclusive access to partner events.

“Seeing how much they’ve achieved over the past 12 months gives us confidence in their ability to succeed”.

Since becoming a Google Partner in July 2018, the Nottingham-based company cruised past its original target by 3,000% and maintained consistent triple-digit quarterly growth. Within that time, they also secured two multi-million-pound investments from business magnate Fred Done which allowed them to invest heavily in product development.

Director and co-founder David Sharpe added: “As well as broadening our solutions for businesses, the Microsoft partnership helps validate that the Adzooma team are achieving their mission to make online advertising more accessible, easier and more effective for all businesses.”
