Doctor Troller's Artwork Fetches $3 Million, Ushering a New Era of Digital Artistry

Doctor Troller

Digital artist Andrew Brown AKA “Doctor Troller” just announced the recent sale of his Gold Shifter painting for a staggering $3 million. The art piece is signed by Brown himself, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. As a prelude to the opening of his art gallery in Soho, this sale accentuates the unique and disruptive narrative that Doctor Troller brings to the traditional art milieu. Enthusiasts and new artists alike await with bated breath the unveiling of his gallery, which promises to be a confluence of audacious creativity and digital innovation. The Ascent of Doctor Troller in Digital Artistry Nurtured in the cultural crucible of London, Andrew "Doctor Troller" Brown’s artistry is a riveting blend of rebellion and innovation. His Chelsea-based endeavors have seen the birth of provocative digital pieces, igniting controversies and sparking debates across both traditional and digital art spheres. His dyslexia, far from a hurdle, propelled him beyond conventional mediums, crafting a narrative that bridges art and body, borne from a "passion of expression through physical action to trigger controversy." His ascent to a net worth of £200 million GBP in 2021 mirrors the crescendo of digital art’s acclaim, marking him as a vanguard in this realm. His artworks, veiled in satire and bold commentary, found their home in digital marketplaces and even traditional auction houses, echoing the appetite for digital artistry in contemporary circles. Pieces like 'Booty Shot' and 'Lightzilla' aren’t mere digital creations, but audacious dialogues challenging societal norms and igniting discussions on empowerment, identity, and the human experience. The recent sale of his artwork for a staggering $3 million underscores the value and desirability enveloping Doctor Troller's creations, heralding an era where digital artistry intertwines with traditional art narratives, challenging the status quo and inviting a discourse that transcends conventional art boundaries. Delving into the Persona of Doctor Troller A troller by nature, a disruptor by choice, and an artist by destiny. Andrew "Doctor Troller" Brown is not just a name but a phenomenon in the digital art realm. His very essence seems to challenge the norm, provoke the conventional, and enthrall the rebel. Born and bred in London's bustling art scene, the streets were his canvas, the public, his muse. His Chelsea abode is not merely a residence, but a forge where digital artistry meets audacious creativity. Dyslexia didn't deter him; it fueled his journey beyond the conventional, driving him to transcend traditional art forms and venture into the boundless realm of digital expression. His creations aren’t just pieces of art; they are dialogues, debates, and disruptions. They challenge societal norms and ignite discussions on empowerment, identity, and the human psyche. Doctor Troller doesn’t just create art; he crafts narratives that challenge, disrupt, and evoke. His inflammatory videos and surreal digital creations are not mere visuals but a rebellion against the conventional and a voice for the unspoken. Doctor Troller’s artistry is a voyage into the unknown, a dive into the abyss of societal norms, and a peek into the future of digital artistry.

Mailbox Express Elevates Customer Interactions Using Comcast Business Technology

Comcast Colorado

“We knew Mailbox Express was special when we worked with Lorraine throughout the Comcast RISE program,” said Robert Thompson, vice president of business services for Comcast’s Mountain West Region. “We are proud that she wanted to continue her relationship with our team, and that our technology solutions are supporting her, and as an extension, her customers with the variety of needs that they have.” Comcast Business today announced that it is providing Mailbox Express with technology solutions – including Comcast Business Internet with Connection Pro, Voice Mobility and Comcast Business SecurityEdge™ – that help the small business provide quality customer service as well as reliable internet access to customers who visit the location. Lorraine Hall, owner of Mailbox Express, bought the company in 2020 with the goal of providing packing, shipping, printing and business service needs to the residents and businesses of Thornton, Colorado. With only one other part-time contractor to help when the business gets particularly busy, Mailbox Express operates primarily as a one-woman business. Customers come to the Colorado-based storefront for a myriad of services, including but not limited to shipping and receiving packages, renting a P.O. Box, renting computers, scanning documents and printing brochures. Because Hall took over Mailbox Express during the height of the pandemic, she was challenged to create awareness for her new business among a community that was not initially able to visit her storefront when it first opened. Thanks to the support provided by the Comcast RISE program, Hall successfully created a television advertisement that educated potential customers on her new ownership of Mailbox Express and the various services that the company offers. While Mailbox Express’ relationship with Comcast Business started with Comcast RISE, Hall chose to stay with Comcast Business as a provider when her support from the program expired because she saw the quality of solutions and support she was receiving. “My business is about so much more than shipping. Many of my customers are older and not familiar with the process of attaining and printing a shipping label, and some are younger customers who need help sending a fax. The services that I offer are possible thanks to the services that Comcast Business provides,” said Hall. “I once had a customer let me know that my computer system was more accessible than the public library. That is some seriously high praise, and a testament to the quality of Comcast Business’ technology solutions.” The technology solutions provided by Comcast Business are tailored to suit Mailbox Express, which relies heavily on technology to ensure support for Hall and her team member, as well as a quality customer experience. Because her business has access to data, implementing SecurityEdge™ solutions was critical to help protect her connected devices. And since there are only ever two employees operating the shipping facility, Voice Mobility has given Hall the flexibility to intercept Mailbox Express’ calls from anywhere. The addition of Connection Pro to Mailbox Express’ technology suite provides powerful 4G LTE backup, giving Hall confidence that she has help to maintain operations during unexpected network outages. About Comcast Corporation Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company that connects people to moments that matter. We are principally focused on connectivity, aggregation, and streaming with 57 million customer relationships across the United States and Europe.

New Business Owner Chris Greene Buys Alloy Printing, Opens Minuteman Press Franchise in White Plains, NY

Minuteman Press International Inc

In April of 2023, Chris Greene made the decision to switch gears and become a business owner. That is when Chris purchased over 40-year business Alloy Printing from Mary Jane and Alan Goldman, which is now operating as the new Minuteman Press franchise in White Plains, NY. The business remains located at 190 East Post Rd., White Plains, NY 10601, a 6,000 sq. ft. facility where it has been operating since 1995. Since buying the business, Chris has already hit several key milestones for Minuteman Press in White Plains. He attributes his sales growth to picking up where the previous owners of Alloy Printing left off – by joining local business organizations and maintaining existing client relationships. Chris has also been building on his established client base by marketing additional products and services such as custom branded apparel. History of Alloy Printing Mary Jane Goldman first joined the printing industry in 1979 when she opened a PIP Printing location in Yonkers. She moved the center to its current location at 190 East Post Rd. in 1995, and then eventually transitioned the business to an independent operation, Alloy Printing. Prior to owning the business, Mary Jane worked as a nurse for 11 years before looking for a change. In a previous interview with The Examiner, Mary Jane explained, “My options were open. I was taking a sabbatical. I could always go back to nursing. My parents had friends that were in printing and did very, very well. And I decided that would be a challenge that I would like to take on.” After initially expanding to three locations, the Goldmans decided to focus only on their White Plains location, where they had been residents since 1987. Mary Jane shared, “Sometimes more isn’t always better.” Alan noted, “[White Plains] is the center of the county. It’s the county seat. It’s where all the action is.” During their years in business, Mary Jane and Alan were active in several local groups including the White Plains Downtown Business Improvement District and many more. New owner Chris Greene has followed their lead, saying, “I was just appointed to the Board of the White Plains Downtown Business Improvement District and am also a member of the Business Council of Westchester. I have found these groups to be very beneficial in terms of networking and building/keeping relationships.” One thing that has never changed in over 40 years is the fact that people need and use print. Alan shared with The Examiner, “We’re supposed to be a more paperless society. But we find it’s not a paperless society.” In the interview, he added, “The internet doesn’t serve what we produce. We’re more of a hands-on, come in, sit down, let’s go over it. What can we do? How can we help? How can we both work together to produce what you want and make you successful? Because if you’re successful, we’re successful.” Welcome to Minuteman Press, White Plains Prior to buying the business, Chris Greene worked in corporate advertising, sales, and marketing. Chris shares, “The three biggest reasons I chose to buy Alloy Printing and transition to Minuteman Press are: My desire to be a business owner and move out of the corporate world; I look at the printing industry as an offshoot to what I was doing in my advertising career; The quality of my experience in learning about Minuteman Press and Alloy Printing.” Chris adds, “The training and support from Minuteman Press has been great. The training helped me develop a solid base of knowledge on how to operate a print business. When I’ve needed support in terms of learning or ramping up my marketing, my RVP Jim Galasso and the entire team have been great in giving me direction. It has been a positive experience all the way around.” When reflecting on the first six-plus months, Chris shares, “When I first started, my number one priority was to reassure our existing customer base that the high quality and customer service that they previously had was not going anywhere. As we look towards further growth, the first area we’ve grown from a product standpoint has been apparel, which we are actively marketing.” He adds, “For me, it’s not about being the boss as much as it’s about how I am spending my day. I enjoy giving our customers the products that we make. That the finished products are directly associated with my ownership of the business is very rewarding.” Minuteman Press in White Plains is located at 190 East Post Rd., White Plains, NY 10601.

Realbricks Aims To Overcome Property Value Barriers In Real Estate Investing For Passive Income

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Begin your real estate investing journey on the Realbricks website! The COVID pandemic has arguably changed the real estate landscape in many ways, and the effects of the post-pandemic boom still persist. The vacation real estate market has experienced increased investment and growth in the post-COVID era. The pandemic led to a surge in interest and demand for vacation properties and more people now prioritize safe and private getaways. According to industry statistics, the vacation rental industry's market value increased by 22.76% from 2020 to 2021. With the low-interest rate environment during COVID-19, many Americans took advantage of the favorable conditions and invested in vacation properties. Sales of vacation homes surged, outpacing the growth in total existing home sales in 2020. The National Association of Realtors reported a 16.4% rise in vacation home sales in 2020, compared to a 5.6% growth in total existing home sales. At the beginning of 2021, about 60% of properties were sold above their advertised prices as a result of the "race for space" among homebuyers. However, many claim that is not just the vacation real estate market that is experiencing growth. Despite some ups and downs in the market, more and more people are looking to rent which makes investing in the rental real estate market attractive. Approximately 41% of Americans are choosing to rent, and rental properties are experiencing an increase in demand based on migration patterns. The apartment rental market in the U.S. was worth $258.4 billion in 2022 and has displayed consistent growth over the past five years. The U.S. alone makes up over 10% of the world’s residential value at an estimated market size of $2.53 trillion in 2023 and is also the world’s largest commercial property market. But even though the market is attractive in many ways, a large portion of investors have historically only had limited access to it due to barriers to entry such as the high amount of investment required – until now. Realbricks is a proprietary technology company that has recognized the increased interest in real estate and aims to democratize real estate investing. The company created a platform that makes real estate investment accessible to anyone, anywhere, empowering individual investors to participate in the real estate short-term rental market. The company seeks to enable people to express their interest in investing in vacation rentals like Airbnbs, long-term rentals, and multifamily properties without ever having to talk to a realtor. Its fractionalized approach to real estate means investors can express their interest to fractionally own rental homes, vacation rentals, and specialty furnished properties that they would otherwise not have access to. Traditionally, real estate investment has been limited to those with significant financial resources and industry connections. Realbricks seeks to disrupt this paradigm by allowing investors to build their real estate portfolios "brick by brick," enabling fractional ownership of properties. Realbricks believes that democratizing real estate investment not only benefits individual investors but also has positive social and economic consequences. The company says that opening up real estate investment to a wider population can support the growth of local communities. As more people invest in properties, Realbricks believes neglected neighborhoods can undergo revitalization, leading to improved living conditions, increased employment opportunities, and enhanced urban development. Expanding investment opportunities also empowers individuals to take control of their financial futures. Real estate has the potential to generate passive income streams and build wealth over time. By enabling more people to invest in real estate, we provide them with an additional avenue for financial security and independence, reducing their reliance on traditional employment and fostering economic empowerment. At the heart of Realbricks' philosophy is its commitment to simplicity and security. The company aims to have its platform prioritize user experience, offering a straightforward login and setup process that caters to both seasoned investors and newcomers to the investment world. However, the company has taken steps to ensure this emphasis on simplicity does not compromise security. All user data is encrypted, and Realbricks aims to provide users with peace of mind as they explore the wide range of fractional investment opportunities available on the platform.

Visa, Inc. Chairman Al Kelly Asked to Revoke Black Lives Matter Endorsement

NLPC

The following letter was sent today by Peter Flaherty, Chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center, to Alfred F. Kelly, Jr., Executive Chairman of Visa, Inc.: The Visa Inc. website still carries your July 15, 2020, endorsement of Black Lives Matter (BLM). We ask that it be taken down. We raised the issue of your BLM support at the 2023 Visa, Inc. annual meeting, but you ignored us. In the wake of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, BLM has shown its true colors. There is more than one entity that calls itself BLM, but the movement has made it clear where it stands. Please be aware: The Chicago chapter of BLM Grassroots tweeted imagery of a hang glider with a Palestinian flag, captioned “I Stand With Palestine.” Hang gliders were used by Hamas terrorists in the murder and hostage taking of innocent civilians attending the Tribe of Nova music festival. The BLM Grassroots national organization issued a “Statement in Solidarity With the Palestinian People” against the backdrop of the Palestinian flag. It read in part, “When a people have been subject (sic) to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense." BLM Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) co-founder Patrice Cullors, called for an “end of the imperialist project known as Israel” at Harvard Law School in 2015. Additionally, as detailed in a series of Complaints we filed with the Internal Revenue Service, BLMGNF is plagued by high living and self-dealing by its past and present leadership. Cullors, a self-proclaimed Marxist, resigned after we exposed the fact that she owned four homes. In the past, you have been eager to involve Visa, Inc. in controversial issues that have nothing to do with the company’s core business, but you have not yet condemned the Hamas attack or antisemitism. We ask that you do so without further delay. ### Contact Details National Legal and Policy Center Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 drene@nlpc.org Company Website http://www.nlpc.org

Connected TV Boom Creates Far-Reaching Opportunities

QYOU Media Inc

ValueTheMarkets News Commentary - In recent years the smart TV market has evolved from traditional digital TVs to more intelligent versions. Now there is a range to choose from with operating systems split between mainstream brands' own systems and open-source operating systems. This article discusses the opportunities this setup affords to a variety of companies including Sony Group Corp (NYSE: SONY), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU), and QYOU Media (TSXV: QYOU) (OTCQB: QYOUF). Companies providing hardware that forms part of the Connected TV (CTV) landscape include Sony Group Corp, Microsoft, and Roku. Meanwhile, open-source operating system (OS) providers like Coolita in India have companies like Panasonic, Croma Electronics and French consumer electronic brand Thomson using its OS. The rise of major hardware and open-source OS providers in the CTV space creates significant opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses in the media and entertainment sector. For starters, the widespread adoption of CTV platforms expands the potential audience for these businesses, making it easier to get their content in front of viewers who are increasingly cutting the cord with traditional TV. QYOU Media (TSXV: QYOU) (OTCQB: QYOUF) is one such company that operates in India and the United States. Coolita recently partnered with QYOU India's QPlay+ to expand its Connected TV distribution via a global partnership. As a part of this strategic alliance, Coolita users in India and across the globe, through their wide range of smart TV sets, including COOCA, METZ, Panasonic, Croma, Thomson and others, will have simple access to stream QYOU Media India's growing portfolio of FAST channels – including The Q, The Q Kahaniyan, Q GameX, Sadhguru TV, and Bollywood Hungama Live on a free ad-supported basis. Early on, Coolita recognized an opportunity for a cost-efficient, user-friendly, and flexible OS in a receptive market. Indeed, the Connected/Smart TV market is booming, with 90% of TVs sold in India last year being Smart TVs. Global ad revenues in this space also surged, hitting $25.9 billion and marking a 13.2% CAGR in 2023. This growth enhances the viewer experience by offering high-quality, localized content. Sony Group Corp (NYSE: SONY), through its Home Entertainment and Sound division, produces LCD televisions, home audio, Blu-ray Disc players and portable audio devices. When it comes to hardware, Sony's TV range is top-class. An 8K TV is four times sharper than a 4K TV and 16 times sharper than a standard 1080p HDTV. This high resolution allows for incredibly detailed and lifelike images, giving viewers an immersive experience. Typically, 8K TVs also incorporate advanced technologies like HDR, wider color gamuts, and faster refresh rates, elevating the overall picture quality. While 8K content is still limited, the TVs usually employ upscaling algorithms to enhance lower-resolution content. The Z9K from Sony stands as a premier 8K TV, epitomizing visual brilliance. Additionally, Sony's 2023 Bravia XR TVs bring forth superior image processing. All Sony TVs from 2023 run Google TV, which offers user-friendly navigation and integrates seamlessly with services from Apple and Amazon. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) aims to drive digital change using smart cloud and edge technology. Its goal is to help everyone and every business globally succeed. Microsoft's primary focus in the entertainment hardware space is its Xbox gaming console series. The Xbox consoles, while primarily designed for gaming, offer streaming capabilities and apps that allow users to access various streaming platforms, effectively turning them into a part of the Connected TV ecosystem. The Xbox serves as a multimedia device, allowing users to stream movies, TV shows, and other content in addition to playing games. In its fiscal 2024, Q1 earnings report Microsoft reported better-than-expected subscriber growth in Xbox Game Pass as well as first-party content, primarily due to the launch of a game called Starfield. Xbox content and services revenue increased 13% and 12% in constant currency, while Xbox hardware revenue declined 7% and 8% in constant currency. Roku ( NASDAQ: ROKU) introduced streaming to TV. It connects users to their favorite content, helps content creators grow and profit from their audiences, and offers advertisers unique ways to reach consumers. Roku TV TM models, streaming players, and related audio devices are sold in various countries, either directly or through licensing with TV brands. Roku's recent Video on Demand (VOD) Evolution study highlights Canadian TV streaming habits. Now, 75% of Canadian internet users choose TV streaming, making it the most favored TV source. Ad-supported TV streaming has seen a rapid rise, with 59% watching it in the past year, a significant increase from 42% the previous year. Additionally, 63% plan to watch ad-supported streams in the coming year. This shift benefits advertisers, offering better targeting and flexibility. Ad engagement on streaming platforms is high, with many viewers responding by visiting brand websites or seeking more product information. This study shows that TV streaming presents unique opportunities for advertisers to effectively reach their audience. The CTV landscape touches a multitude of companies, and Sony, Microsoft, Roku, and QYOU Media are just a few of them. Curt Marvis, CEO of QYOU Media continues to view the CTV space as a strong area for growth in India and beyond in the years ahead. He notes "the partnership with Coolita allows QYOU to further strengthen its digital presence on connected TVs in India while also offering unique curated channels to a global audience."
