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.

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.

95% of Mobile Apps fail the OWASP MASVS Industry Standard for Mobile Security Finds NowSecure Industry Benchmark

NowSecure

NowSecure, the recognized experts in mobile security and privacy, announced today at OWASP Global AppSec DC their new security benchmark analysis shockingly reveals 95% of ~6,500 popular mobile apps fail to meet the world’s most recognized industry standard for mobile app security - the OWASP MASVS. These results raise the alarm that all organizations building mobile apps and downloading commercial mobile apps for use should immediately review their mobile app security strategies and shift to a more rigorous approach for security and privacy. It also demonstrates that regulators, auditors, risk committees and cyber insurance companies need to raise the bar on mobile app security and privacy before the next major breach occurs. Established by industry experts and practitioners across the global community, the OWASP Mobile App Security (MAS) Project with the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) serves as the most recognized standard for mobile application security. OWASP MASVS sets a minimum bar for mobile app developers to follow when building apps securely and provides security teams with the ideal testing strategy as part of the organization’s proof of controls. The 2023 NowSecure benchmark mobile app security analysis shows 95% of nearly 6,500 leading mobile apps fail at least one of the seven OWASP MASVS categories that cover the mobile app attack surface. Across the seven OWASP MASVS categories, the areas of highest failure rates are: 54% of mobile apps fail MASVS-NETWORK exposing critical user information transmitted between mobile app and backend systems over the internet that could be remotely intercepted to harvest company data, steal user credentials, profile backend attacks, phish users, and violate privacy mandates. 47% of mobile apps fail MASVS-PLATFORM allowing theft of sensitive data through interprocess communication between other mobile apps and leaving the mobile app open device-based attacks. 43% of mobile apps fail MASVS-CODE indicating improper coding practices such as failure to properly validate information, use of insecure third party libraries and failure to use mobile app protections built into mobile OS and development languages. These weaknesses put organizations at risk of system breaches, data loss and privacy exposures that can tarnish the brand, reduce revenue, damage customer trust, incur regulatory fines and invite lawsuits. “Clearly mobile developers and security teams are not meeting industry recognized minimum bar standards, putting their organizations and billions of mobile users at risk” said NowSecure CEO Alan Snyder. “The OWASP community of experts working for over a decade has delivered a proven global standard for mobile app security. All organizations building and using mobile apps should use the OWASP MASVS proven industry standard to reduce risk, demonstrate proof of controls and streamline the development process as they mobilize the business safely and efficiently.” NowSecure recommends all organizations take action to address these significant gaps in mobile app security, including Review the OWASP MAS project resources to understand mobile app security requirements and testing processes. Train developers on secure coding best practices and testing teams on testing techniques. Establish release policies across dev, devops, security and compliance teams using OWASP MASVS requirements. Deploy policy-based, continuous automated mobile app security testing in pipelines, feeding issues and embedded remediation to developers to speed resolution. For highest risk mobile apps with critical intellectual property, highly sensitive data or transactions, add expert pen testing using OWASP MASVS and OWASP MASTG. Generate OWASP MASVS self-attestation reports or use third party pen testing attestation reports to demonstrate to customers that the organization has taken proven measures. For third party mobile apps purchased, downloaded and used, ensure that the mobile app developer provides an attestation of OWASP MASVS compliance. The NowSecure OWASP MASVS Benchmark testing methodology leverages NowSecure Platform automated mobile application security testing software that performs a battery of more than 600 security and privacy tests using SAST, DAST, IAST and APISec technologies with results mapped to OWASP MASVS categories. NowSecure took a snapshot of benchmark data from the MobileRiskTracker in October 2023. For this benchmark analysis, NowSecure used the mobile app data set from the NowSecure MobileRiskTracker ™ - a live benchmarking tool continuously monitors the security and privacy of 6,434 Android and iOS mobile apps from the Apple App Store™ and Google Play™ representing a range of industries, including finance and banking, mHealth, high tech, retail, travel & hospitality and government, among others. NowSecure partners with the OWASP Mobile Application Security (MAS) Project community in several ways. In addition to providing financial support as a God Mode sponsor, NowSecure has been honored as the first OWASP MAS Advocate for significant contributions to the initiative and provides dedicated staff experts to support the project. NowSecure delivers the industry’s only full suite of mobile app security and privacy solutions including NowSecure Platform for automated security and privacy testing, NowSecure Workstation kit for pen tester productivity, NowSecure Supply Chain Risk Management, NowSecure expert Mobile Pen Testing as a Service (PTaaS), and NowSecure Academy training courseware for dev and security teams.

I-ON Digital Corp. Enters into Agreement to Finalize Acquisition of Controlling Stake of Orebits Corp. and its Patented Gold-Digitization Technology

I-ON Digital Corp.

I-ON Digital Corp. (OTC: IONI), a pioneering force in institutional-level asset digitization and securitization solutions, proudly announced a significant milestone. Today, the Company has entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement with Orebits Acquisition Group, LLC to acquire 910,000 shares of common stock of Orebits Corp. (“Orebits”), representing a controlling interest in Orebits. The Company currently anticipates that the transaction, subject to closing conditions, will close effective with the end of the fourth quarter of 2023. By virtue of its controlling stake in Orebits, I-ON will acquire a controlling stake in Orebits’s patented gold-digitization technologies. With the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the Company gains ownership of approximately 9,700 Orebits.AU gold-backed digital securities, which will be seamlessly converted into ION.au: I-ON 's proprietary digital asset class. The consummation of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement will, by extension, put the Company in position to further leverage its recently completed secure hybrid blockchain platform and, further, advance the Company's vision and propel the future of digitized assets. The Company onboarded an initial block of gold-backed digital assets in the second quarter of 2023. As enhanced by the Company’s hybrid blockchain platform and related workflow management, the Company estimates the transaction to be valued at approximately $18 million. The actual value of the transaction may vary depending on market conditions and the results of a year-end audit. The Contribution and Exchange Agreement further propels I-ON 's overall strategy to revolutionize the way physical gold, precious metal, and mineral claims are converted into digital assets and asset-backed securities allowing claim holders to monetize and leverage their in-situ (in ground) and unrefined reserves. I-ON 's innovative asset-digitization platform, which utilizes next-generation hybrid blockchain technologies together with state-of-the-art smart contracts and advanced workflow management AI, allows mineral and precious metal reserves to be digitized into secure asset-backed securities that provide reserve owners and peripheral investors with new financial channels to maximize liquidity without requiring them to physically remove these assets from the ground, thus protecting the environment and revolutionizing the mining industry as a whole. "We believe that this acquisition is a significant milestone for our company," said Ken Park, I-ON 's Chief Marketing Officer and Director. "In addition to increasing our balance sheet, this transaction will finalize the acquisition of a controlling interest in Orebits Corp., which was at the forefront of mineral asset digitization over 5 years ago, along with its patented technologies and assets, adding substantial value to the Company and our shareholders, while moving us closer to our ultimate goal of becoming the leading provider of asset digitization and securitization in this emerging industry." Management expects that the expanded portfolio of I-ON.au will expand the market acceptance of the Company's asset-backed digital securities, representing the emergence of entirely new financial instrument class that can be leveraged for financing, collateralization, and/or the hypothecated use within a wide range of ESG-friendly bond offerings. With ION.au, claim holders, investors, and the precious metals industry can take advantage of an entirely new range of financial opportunities from their in-situ and unrefined gold, precious metal, and mineral reserves. The transaction represents a huge step forward in the Company's pursuit to become the leading provider of cutting-edge asset digitization solutions and provide greater financial opportunities for both claim holders and investors alike, through the digitization and securitization of gold, precious metals, and minerals reserves, and the cultivation of other next-generation technology-driven asset-backed financial instruments. I-ON Digital Corp (OTC: IONI) is a leading-edge provider of asset-digitization and securitization solutions engineered to provide a secure, fast, transparent, and institutional-grade ecosystem that digitizes documentary evidence of ownership, in accordance with a rigorous onboarding and acceptance process, into secure, asset-backed digital certificates that bring liquidity and accepted value to a wide-array of asset classes. I-ON develops, acquires, and deploys a portfolio of novel and patented next-generation technologies that have been integrated and engineered into a comprehensive ecosystem built on a zero-trust, hybrid blockchain architecture that utilizes state-of-the-art smart contracts and sophisticated workflow management AI Technologies to digitize ownership records of recoverable gold, precious metal, and mineral reserves into digital certificates that facilitate wealth transfer through new asset-backed financial instruments and asset classes that provide reserve owners and investors a new channel to maximize portfolio liquidity. By offering services associated with asset digitization and securitization, and by licensing the Company's expanding intellectual property portfolio, I-ON is able to generate revenue through transaction fees while actively growing innovative platforms beneficial for next-generation transactional models.

Meme Coin Resurgence On The Way, and Is This The New Leader?

RoundHouse Media

There is little doubt that meme coins are a crucial part of crypto. They might be considered "jokes" without utility, but a revolution is happening. TL;DR: - Meme coins are worth over $16 billion and continue to rise in value. - Top meme coins, including Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, were hit hard by crypto bears in 2022, but there is a revival with emerging projects. - NuggetRush is a new meme coin project that's breaking into the scene with unique offerings and a desire to add utility to meme coins. Looking at market cap alone, meme coins are worth upwards of $16 billion, and the value keeps on rising as creators innovate, aiming to fuse enhanced functionality and fun while using the same old crypto rails for security and accessibility. In 2022, top crypto coins and meme projects, including Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), were battered by crypto bears, losing over 85% of their 2021 peaks. However, looking at recent events, there is a revival on-course with emerging projects, including PepeCoin (PEPE) and a new entrant, NuggetRush (NUGX), dominating headlines and attracting supporters across the crypto divide. The questions are: With Bitcoin and crypto prices bottoming up and breaking higher from 2022 and 2023 pits, will the uptrend be sustained to trigger resurgence in the meme coin scene? Will ambitious meme coin projects like NuggetRush draw benefits and raise millions in their ongoing presale? This article looks to find answers: >> Buy NuggetRush Now << The Meme Coin Revival To have a clearer understanding, we have to cycle back. Dogecoin is the first meme coin, created as a joke based on the Shiba Inu dog. It has since floated higher and is a top-20 coin by market cap. Dogecoin's surge to emerge as a top crypto is partly because of celebrity support and Elon Musk, the billionaire leader of Tesla and SpaceX, and the owner of X, the social media platform. With Bitcoin and Ethereum prices rising, DOGE is up 30% from October lows, clearing above the critical resistance level. Optimists expect DOGE to reclaim 2021 highs of around $0.78; an elusive target. While Dogecoin bulls are buoyant, Shiba Inu continues to build, diversifying their base. Their primary objective is to expand on Shibarium, a scaling solution forked from Polygon. The team expects Shibarium to offer relief for its holders and developers looking to build on this platform. Despite the initial hype, SHIB, the native token of Shiba Inu; and BONE, the token priming Shibarium, have remained under pressure. Even so, experts doubt the recent upswing until there is a sharp close above August 2023 highs. Market observers expect meme coins to be driven by other facets of crypto, including decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Modern meme coins like NuggetRush have integrated these elements into their operations, giving them an edge and, most importantly, increasing the utility of their native ERC-20 coin, NUGX. Is NuggetRush The New Leader? For the approach adopted by NuggetRush (NUGX), especially their desire to add utility to meme coins, NUGX stands to gain in the next bull run making it a top crypto to buy for astute investors. NuggetRush is building a play-to-earn (P2E) game where meme coin fans can participate, monetizing their skills when earning rewards. While NUGX is a meme coin, adding the P2E game to the equation and merging NFTs and DeFi elements means the token has more utility. At the core, NUGX will be used to distribute rewards for gamers while concurrently helping deserving artisanal miners. NuggetRush gaming characters are available as NFTs, and players can customize their own. The difference is that once they have them, they can stake them, earning up to 20% APY. The NuggetRush presale is ongoing. In this top ICO, over 15 million NUGX have been sold, each at 0.010 USDT, in Stage 1. However, the token could list at $0.020, meaning early adopters stand to double their initial investment on launch day. >> Buy NuggetRush Now << Conclusion The broader crypto market revival appears to be drawing more people to consider meme coins. Dogecoin and other legacy projects are popular, but NuggetRush is breaking into the scene, partly thanks to its unique offerings and desire to add utility. For this reason, some investors say NUGX is one of the best crypto to buy now. Thus far, more investors are exploring the project, with some considering NUGX as they diversify their portfolios.
