250 million market cap on 32 million in sales?
How many people did ILUS products rescue in Florida so far, the PR below is from 22 months ago, plenty of time to prepare for the big moment when your products were needed most:
“OTC:ILUS acquires FB Technologies a global technology company in the Fire & Rescue market & appoints new CEO & Board
United States, New York, Jan 26, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - NEW YORK, January. 26, 2021 /Issuewire/ -- Ilustrato Pictures International Inc (OTC: ILUS), Mr. Larson Elmore has stepped down as CEO and appointed Mr. Nicolas Link as CEO, with immediate effect. The outgoing Larson Elmore spent almost 2 years looking for the right merger candidate for ILUS. The new CEO, Nicolas, is highly experienced as an entrepreneur, having founded and grown multiple international companies over the past 20 years in numerous countries including Asia, Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Under Nicolas, ILUS is refocusing as an M&A company, executing a roll-up strategy acquiring companies that are technology orientated, mainly but not limited to the Fire & Rescue sector globally. The company will also change its name to ILUS International Inc, with immediate effect, and has launched its new website. The first acquisition signed is an international technology group FB Technologies Global Inc, known as FireBug Group, which was founded by Nicolas Link in the UK and has a highly experienced management team with factories in the United Kingdom & Dubai, focusing on technology for the Fire & Rescue sector including the first 6x6 Electric UTV (EV) and who manufacture rapid response vehicles that are usually at least 63% more efficient than conventional Fire Fighting Vehicles. FireBug Group has invested almost $4mil into its Research and Development over the past few years and has received numerous patents, the company has been backed by 2 family offices in Europe who provided the initial founding capital. FireBug Group commercialized their product range in 2018 and have already supplied to many of the world’s leading brands in more than 20 countries. Nicolas CEO said, “FireBug merging into ILUS provides the ideal platform for the companies to grow their Brand, Footprint, Revenue, and the Shareholder value exponentially”.”
When is this roll up strategy going to bear fruit if 22 months after the beginning of the strategy their Rescue vehicles and products aren’t highlighted or even mentioned in the timeframe of the biggest rescue operation of the decade so far? Who is locking up their shares without knowing where the revenue is coming from first.
I agree with that logic
It is claimed that Sanchez owned a private company prior to this entire process, and that the private company made loans and continues to. Many businesses in Florida may need a loan soon if Sanchez can communicate that as an opportunity worth exploring. Any company that provides loans a few hundred miles from a 500 year flood event should in theory make a profit if that is what Sanchez intends.
25 days since PR, let’s go here, all the way up on massive lithium haul, begin mining operations
“and we are keenly awaiting the initial mineral resource estimate now that we have all drillhole assay results from our flagship project at Vallee."”
Been waiting 15 months for this to go to a proper SP as EV technology and green technology are at the forefront of US government spending, this is the moment.
“What Is OTT TV? What Makes It Different from Traditional TV?

What Is OTT TV? What Makes It Different from Traditional TV?
Table of contents
Except for the world wide web delivering extra services to the user, traditional media consumption is also moving to online platforms. No more need for the cable TV or satellite TV subscriptions – you can watch films or shows having a high-speed Internet connection. It is now enough to load up an OTT app like YouTube TV or Hulu on a preferred device to cast to the favorite streaming channel of your choice.
OTT TV or over-the-top television is currently one of the hottest trends in the video streaming industry. According to eMarketer, the average time spent on OTT TV exceeded 62 minutes in 2020. As this field expands, advertisers and marketing specialists should learn more about over-the-top, and this article contains the necessary information.
What is OTT TV?
As mentioned above, OTT stands for “over-the-top.” OTT TV is also known as online television. Shortly, it is about streaming across various OTT devices. Unlike with traditional cable or satellite television, watchers can access OTT platforms whenever they want, from anywhere on the map. This is a new approach to delivering video content over the web with no need for traditional television providers. Instead, consumers pay internet providers.
Examples of over-the-top include Xfinity, Verizon, and Spectrum. Many modern devices are compatible with OTT services. It is enough to have a stable internet connection to enjoy videos.
The recent growth of over-the-top providers has been enormous. Netflix is currently the most popular OTT channel with a total of 214 million paid subscribers. Experts predict that the number of subscription OTT video service viewers in the United States alone will go up by 11 percent in 2022.
CTV statistics prove its popularity as well. For Roku, it’s more than 55 million monthly active accounts; for Amazon Fire TV, this mark is 50+ million monthly active users worldwide. Android TV managed to make it through to over 80 million monthly active OTT devices, and Apple TV reached 28+ million active OTT devices in the United States alone. These facts all prove the popularity of OTT solutions.
Video streaming is the most popular version of over-the-top media services. However, other types of content are also suitable for OTT solutions.
For instance, audio streaming is another over-the-top category, as are podcasts and online radio channels. Voice calling platforms (VOIP) that integrate with mobile networks to boost some features are OTT services too (e.g., WeChat or Skype). Finally, there are OTT-based messaging services like Facebook or Google that allow people to connect easily.
How does OTT TV work?
Consumers can access over-the-top services in numerous ways by using different OTT devices, both desktop and mobile. A user may only need to pay for a subscription to the OTT platform of their choice so it’s possible to choose between monthly and annual subscriptions. Disney+ and Netflix are two examples that function this way. Some OTT services do not charge fees. Instead, they make money from OTT TV by showing advertisements during shows and films. Pluto TV and Tubi work this way.
Primary OTT benefits that make this model attractive
Many studies prove how prevalent over-the-top consumption has become. For example, one report discovered a ratio of 1.64 OTT subscriptions per one household in the US in 2020. This boom has been caused by the number of businesses investing their funds into OTT ads and increase in demand because of more people staying at home, and they do it for several good reasons.
Affordable Pricing
When users choose over-the-top platforms, they do not pay a TV-cable organization to watch videos. Most of the content is accessible via the web. To use an OTT app, customers should sign up and pay for a monthly subscription. For an affordable price, they can then watch multiple videos.
Full Control
OTT TV allows having complete control of your revenue. OTT apps allow you to thoroughly monitor your content, target audience, brand, revenues, and data. It makes it possible to decide on your rates or pick a subscription-based model. Consider YouTube as an example of the opposite, where the platform algorithmically defines the entire process. Thus, there is no way to impact the advertisements on YouTube.
Instant Playback
Those who love specific shows would benefit from using an OTT app as well. The thing is, they can watch top-preferred moments over and over again. It is enough to pay for the subscription on time, and any limitations will be removed.
Smooth Transition
OTT allows a smooth transition from traditional TV. Much of the programming is carried over from conventional TV media, which is why the formatting is similar too. A company that decides to move from traditional television to OTT content obtains the ad advantages of utilizing the viewable traditional TV commercial breaks alongside the data-focused targeting of the online environment.
Choice of Content
Traditional TV cable companies only offer a limited list of shows and films. As for OTT, this service suggests a greater variety of unique videos that cannot be found on traditional television. Users only have to authorize and subscribe to view that original content.
Expanded reach
Businesses that choose OTT can significantly expand their audiences. This model provides advertising on a one-to-one vector. No matter what a user is watching and where they are, it’s possible to target them at any part of the world. Over-the-top delivers a treasure trove of data about what consumers prefer watching. It helps to detect their behavioral patterns so marketing experts obtain a comprehensive user portrait rendered in figures.
Free choice of the service provider
Consumers can select a video provider by setting up a dedicated OTT TV app or employing pre-installed solutions. Over-the-top provides the flexibility to adjust your models for maximum uptake.
Compatibility with Multiple Devices
Cable TV requires a television set. On the contrary, consumers can enjoy videos from a wide range of OTT devices if they choose OTT TV services. For instance, it’s possible to access content from a mobile phone, laptop, desktop computer, Smart TV, and gaming console without the hassle of cables and other technology.
Wider opportunities: three monetization models to consider
Many creative methods to generate revenues with OTT exist in 2021. From advertisements and subscriptions to transactions, you should first ensure that it is the right fit for your consumer.
Several monetization models for your OTT TV are known. Each of them provides certain monetization opportunities.
SVOD Model. Subscription Video on Demand frameworks make it possible for over-the-top providers to propose an “ad-free experience,” as their profit comes from user subs. For a small recurring fee, users can obtain access to a great library of videos. Netflix falls into this category, making a 23.8% increase year on year. Other examples of successful SVOD services include HBO Go, ESPN+, Peloton, and Simply South.
AVOD Model. In the Ad-based Video on Demand model, providers generate revenue by selling ad space to outside organizations. Viewers do not have to pay anything but watch ads to access their preferred content. Pluto TV and Dailymotion fall into this category.
Hybrid Model. This combines the features of the two previous models. Let’s consider Hulu as an example. This service has a couple of subscription alternatives. The first one requires paying $5.99 every month, including advertisements. If a user chooses another subscription that costs $11.99 monthly, they can enjoy an ad-free experience.
It is up to you whether your customers will have to pay a fixed fee to access premium videos or view content for free, having to watch some ads.
So, the question is how to monetize your OTT TV. Several reliable ways exist, but the best one is creating your own OTT TV application.”

This announcement marks Versus first long-term foray into television and streaming media. The multi-year agreement includes adding interactive and second-screen elements to shows and content connected to a new OTT channel that will launch in Q4 2022.

Sponsorships and advertising on streaming media is going to be more personalized, more contextual, and more rewarding than traditional linear broadcast TV ads could ever be" said Matthew Pierce, Founder and CEO of Versus Systems.

That's where Versus is going to succeed. We're bringing our best-in-class in-venue fan engagement platform to fans at home."”

U.S. Patent Office Grants New Patent Claims For Versus Systems' Streaming Media Rewards Platform
Versus Systems Inc. ("Versus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:VS) announces that, pursuant to a Versus filing made in 2019, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has now allowed 20 new claims associated with a new patent titled "MANAGING IN-CONTENT CHALLENGES FOR MULTI-PLAYER GAMES." The USPTO has now issued U.S. Patent No. 11,376,498 to Versus to cover games and challenges that produce real world rewards inside of apps and streaming media.
Versus' new patented claims protect several methods for managing first and second-screen games inside of apps, television broadcasts, and streaming media, with a focus on how to provide different digital and physical prizes to different players based on their performance in the games and eligibility criteria such as age and location. This IP could allow content creators and distributors new ways to help audiences earn rewards while watching and interacting with their favorite shows, including live sports, game-streams, and reality TV. This technology has the potential to dramatically increase the potential number of participants in sweepstakes, tournaments, and rewards-based competitions. Versus will be using its patented technologies in-venue, at NFL, NHL, NBA, NCAA, and other sporting events and, beginning in Q4 of this year, in Over-The-Top (OTT) television and streaming media.
Versus' growing patent portfolio now includes multiple granted US and international patents, with dozens of claims around the management of prizing in games, dynamic regulatory compliance, single and multiplayer prizing, competitive balance, and rewards in streaming media.
In addition to these new claims granted by the USPTO and their other issued patents, Versus continues to actively develop and file patent claims for new technologies focused on prizing and rewards inside interactive media, securing intellectual property protection accordingly, both in the United States and other Patent Cooperation Treaty countries.
"Versus is very proud of its growing patent portfolio around in-game rewards. We are creating innovative, unique technologies for both content creators and audiences," said Matthew Pierce, Founder and CEO of Versus Systems. "The streaming media landscape is changing so fast - from Disney to Amazon to Discovery to the evolving college football landscape, fans should expect a better experience than traditional TV commercials. Content, even branded, sponsored, and ad-supported content, should be more personal, more contextual, and more rewarding. Audiences should be able to earn rewards and prizes that they care about while watching their favorite content. These patents help with that. Our whole portfolio does. We want to make things more fun, and we're eager to use this patented technology to do that."

How are ILUS’ companies stepping into the breach:
“They have a global presence with billions under their management. Most importantly, they believe in our vision and growth strategy for the Emergency Response and Industrial sectors, and we are confident that they are the right partner for our next phase of growth," said ILUS CEO, Nicolas Link.”
Wikipedia-
“Insured storm damage estimates in Florida are approximated at up to $47 billion according to CoreLogic.[131][132][133]”
Time to prove that this emergency response business is real or fake, you’d think they would be involved or mention it, hey this is our moment, finally we can prove ourselves and what we have built to respond to this lucrative disaster. But they said nothing, completely ignored it so far like the company is being run by a bot. Flood the zone with your products to make money, let shareholders know, absolutely hilarious if you think about it, like a perceived water company that claims to have water stored and then a drought happens and they talk about a share lock up instead. Hey what about all that water you said you had, there is a 500 year drought maybe sell the water now.
“Given the plans we are rolling out, I am confident that ILUS will be the industry leader in wildland firefighting by the end of 2023. I am looking forward to signing off on the final plans for all the divisions in Serbia next week,” said ILUS Managing Director, John-Paul Backwell.”
Let shareholders know you care about relevant current events.
If we don’t hear something this week about how Georgia Fire and Rescue is seeing increased sales in relation to Hurricane Ian, ILUS might well be written off as mismanaged, buying worthless ghost companies to create the perception of fake progress. If a company with that sales opportunity can’t capitalize and communicate that capitalization in a timely fashion, then that would be quite a revelation, maybe even leading to an IRS investigation. DRCR is another company affiliated with ILUS’ owners that failed to communicate its progress effectively in September. There are other company’s with a much lower OS with tangible operations, products and aggressive sales with much less of an opportunity than the weather disaster has provided to GFRS and which are not ghosting shareholders. If you can’t sell fire and rescue supplies during a 500 year flood and that is your primary business, then what can you sell? It would be literally one of the funniest and at the same time non-lucrative revelations via silence in OTC history imo.
“By 10:35 UTC on September 28, Ian strengthened further to 155 mph (250 km/h) as it neared Southwest Florida,[19] despite outflow being restricted in its southwestern quadrant by moderate wind shear.[20] At 19:05 UTC, Ian made landfall on Cayo Costa with sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) and an estimated central pressure of 940 mbar (28 inHg), becoming the first Category 4 hurricane to impact Southwest Florida since Charley in 2004, which also made landfall at the same location.[21][22] Ian then made a second landfall just south of Punta Gorda near Pirate Harbor at 20:35 UTC with 145 mph (235 km/h) winds.”
ILUS sent two PRs on September 29th with no mention of Georgia Fire and Rescue Supply, 24 hours after Hurricane Ian made Florida landfall.
Georgia Fire and Rescue should report increased sales because of Hurricane Ian

“Jan 26th, 2021, Acquired Firebug Group
March 25th, 2021, Acquired the Vehicle Converters LLC

March 31st, 2022, Acquired Georgia Fire & Rescue Supply LLC
May 28, 2022, Acquired WikiSoft Corp”
The clean up in Florida and Georgia will be a massive task in the billions and supply chain issues require government officials to find product and suppliers anywhere they can find them quickly. As a company located north of the disasters GFRS and ILUS sales executives should be working the phones and emails of government agencies and other groups to make product available in the time of highest demand. The Governor of Florida called this a 500 year flood, if ILUS bought this company for a reason this is their moment, let’s see if they can capitalize on the opportunity. Communication with shareholders regarding how they are stepping up in a crucial time will show the world that ILUS is company serious about generating revenue, building trust in the company. Should hear something this week as would be expected normally when a company owns that type of a company in the vicinity to a disaster of that magnitude directly related to the company’s industry.
They said info in September on share lock up and share buyback in the PR, the buyback info therefore has to be imminent to retain credibility, pre-market Monday, the insiders should infer via PR very soon that they will buy in big to the 2 year lock up, thus reducing the near term effect of the high OS, this is what is expected to occur imo
“Given the substantial progress that has been made by the company in the third quarter, it recently confirmed that it will be making important announcements on the following milestones during the month of September 2022:
-- Filing of its Form 10-12G Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
-- Investment Bank which the company is working with to complete its first planned subsidiary up list to a major stock exchange
-- Announcement regarding planned Share lock-up and Share buy-back
-- First site which the company is acquiring in Serbia and details on the Investment Project and its incentives
-- $100m Revenue acquisition by the company's industrial subsidiary, Quality Industrial Corp. (OTCQB: QIND)
-- Further acquisitions which are in their final stages

Irwin Naturals Acquiring Ketamine Media
Nation's Leading Growth Platform for Ketamine Clinics to Drive Expansion of Irwin's Emergence Clinics ChainGlobeNewswireSeptember 29, 2022
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Irwin Naturals Inc. (CSE: IWIN) (OTC: IWINF) (FRA: 97X) ("Irwin" or the "Company") today announced a definitive agreement to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Keta Media, LLC dba Ketamine Media ("Ketamine Media"), the nation's leading growth platform for clinics offering ketamine-assisted therapy. With a global network dedicated to improving patient outcomes, KM has established relationships with clinics in over 45 states and three countries and connects providers and patients using a unique patient-centered approach to communication.
Irwin CEO Klee Irwin says, "While this transaction will contribute immediately to our profitability, this acquisition is driven predominantly by strategic considerations. Ketamine Media will support our mission to bring healing to people suffering from mental health disorders. We are in acquisition discussions with many clinics who tell us that Ketamine Media has been almost solely responsible for their growth, and we are excited to have them as part of the Irwin family."
Irwin anticipates that the acquisition will help accelerate the identification and completion of new potential clinic transactions and that it will be able to leverage KM's capabilities to increase utilization rates at its existing and future Emergence-branded clinics. KM's approach to education and awareness creation fit seamlessly with Irwin's mission to bring a truly disruptive therapy with significantly higher cure rates, as compared to traditional therapies, to the masses.
Chris Walden, CEO of Ketamine Media, added, "We will continue providing the high level of services our clients are accustomed to. For us, this deal will give us access to growth capital that will allow Ketamine Media to add new advisory services that will greatly benefit all our clients at a much more rapid pace. Ketamine Media wants to help encourage more collaboration within this emerging space between providers in local markets. During our discussions with Irwin Naturals, we identified a number of parallels in our belief system, including a desire to help our existing book of business to achieve the outcomes that led them to sign up with KM. We believe that Irwin Naturals will be successful in their strategy to become a leading international brand of psychedelic mental health clinics."
This Agreement is subject to certain customary closing condition and regulatory approvals. The total consideration at closing will be paid in cash consideration, including the assumption of certain debts of Ketamine Media. The total consideration is to be paid in a combination of cash and stock, with the maximum payable contingent on a number of milestones related to profitability and operational goals. Further detail will be provided upon closing.”

CEO’s in the United States have a constitutional right to complain about the current administration, regulations, overreach, etc, often times they are valid criticisms, but they have a responsibility to show they are doing the right thing or their criticism becomes valueless, when they act irresponsibly and those wealthy individuals around then allow them to act irresponsibly they bring pressure upon the credibility of the entire capitalist system that becomes difficult to morally defend, unless strict law enforcement actions which begin to generate accountability for the financially irresponsible and/or excessively silent are implemented. One CEO might think, “I’m just one person, my actions and example mean little in the grand scheme of things”, but that assertion would be incorrect. Every action by every person on earth is part of something called “the butterfly effect”, every action responsible or irresponsible makes waves of consequence in all directions like dropping a rock in the ocean. The greater the irresponsibly the greater the effect of the waves, law enforcement is the sea wall that can absorb negative energy from irresponsible behavior and turn it back towards its source, protecting investors for example from the effects. When law enforcement chooses to or for some reason cannot prevent the let down of society which depends on them and allows criminal financial behavior the butterfly effect of financial irresponsibility becomes the new rule and the new chaotic order and that is what the current order is imo, a system in chaos, hence why 87,000 IRS agents are being hired to try to stem the tidal effects or the previous order.
“Why do you think that the private company is GQG - that is absurd because GQC is a new empty shell”
I do not think that, and your assumption is the source of your confusion imo.
“Yes I do, the previous years there wasn't any revenue because GQC is a new shell created by Sanchez.”
If you want to believe that Sanchez’ private company before buying the shell had and has zero revenue then you can continue to believe that. If you want to believe that Sanchez has no intention of using the public company to generate value, loans and wealth for himself and shareholders then that is actually the predominant reality since no value has yet been generated, that is your opinion and so far it is correct, as we are now two weeks overdue for a PR, your assertion in those regards would be correct every day that silence continues imo, hence the economic need to remove public companies from CEO’s who ghost shareholders for 180 days and to confiscate from their banks accounts and personal assets that can be liquidated all funds and items of value required to refund shareholders for illegal ghosting while owning a ticker symbol. That law would restore some respect to and honor of owning a ticker symbol and reduce fraud by 95% in one year. Furthermore CEO’s who remain silent for 180 days would be automatically investigated for criminal fraud by the IRS, turning over all company documents and communications within two weeks to the IRS and other federal authorities, it would not be an arbitrary process or a decision, the above law actions would occur as soon as the day 181 trading session begins and the companies subject to the law enforcement actions would appear on a an IRS queue inbox.
Big chance here going forward imo, charts are ready, effective marketing

Emmaus Life Sciences Announces Collaboration with Kier (Junior) Spates to Share Personal Experience with Sickle Cell Disease and Endari(R)
Nationally Syndicated Radio Programming Will Educate and Support SCD Patients
Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (OTCQX: EMMA) a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company and leader in the treatment of sickle cell disease, today announced a collaboration with the Steve Harvey Morning Show cast member Kier (Junior) Spates to share Mr. Spates' personal experience with the use of Endari(R), Emmaus' prescription L-glutamine oral powder, to treat his sickle cell disease, or SCD.
https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1361168/Emmaus_Medical_Inc_Logo.jpg
SCD is endemic in the African American community yet remains a significant unmet healthcare need -- despite the advent of Endari -- for many possible reasons, including a historical lack of treatment options and inadequate access to primary care. As a result, many SCD sufferers are reluctant or unsure how to seek a doctor's assistance in managing their disease, leaving untreated the debilitating pain, anemia and other symptoms of the disease which lead to premature death among SCD patients as compared to the general population.
"Our collaboration with Mr. Spates will help destigmatize SCD and inform 9 million weekly listeners to Mr. Harvey's popular show, including those who with SCD, about Endari," said Yutaka Niihara, M.D., M.P.H., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Emmaus. "We admire and appreciate Mr. Spates' courage in living with this disease and publicly sharing his experiences and would like to extend our public thanks to Mr. Harvey and the show's producers for their cooperation."
"I've been taking Endari since April and found it to be beneficial in my treatment regime for sickle cell disease," said Mr. Spates. "Since adding Endari to my treatment protocol I have had fewer crises. After many conversations with Emmaus, I decided to become a consultant to the company because I understand firsthand how this disease devastates the Black community. I support and understand Emmaus' commitment to take a holistic approach to the treatment of sickle cell disease."
George Sekulich, Senior Vice President of Global Commercialization at Emmaus, added, "This new collaboration, like our recently announced telehealth services, is intended to reach Americans nationwide who lack information regarding available SCD treatment options such as Endari. We believe that Mr. Spates' experience will resonate with his and Mr. Harvey's audience."
About Endari(R) (prescription grade L-glutamine oral powder)
Endari(R), Emmaus' prescription grade L-glutamine oral powder, was approved by the FDA in July 2017 for treating sickle cell disease in adult and pediatric patients five years of age and older. Sales of Endari(R) began in the United States in 2018.
Indication
Endari(R) is indicated to reduce the acute complications of sickle cell disease in adult and pediatric patients five years of age and older.
Important Safety Information
The most common adverse reactions (incidence >10 percent) in clinical studies were constipation, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, cough, pain in extremities, back pain, and chest pain.
Adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation included one case each of hypersplenism, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, burning sensation, and hot flash.
The safety and efficacy of Endari in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease younger than five years of age has not been established.
For more information, please see full Prescribing Information of Endari at: www.ENDARIrx.com/PI.
About Sickle Cell Disease
There are approximately 100,000 people living with sickle cell disease (SCD) in the United States and millions more globally. The sickle gene is found in every ethnic group, not just among those of African descent; and in the United States an estimated 1-in-365 African Americans and 1-in-16,300 Hispanic Americans are born with SCD.1 The genetic mutation responsible for SCD causes an individual's red blood cells to distort into a "C" or a sickle shape, reducing their ability to transport oxygen throughout the body. These sickled red blood cells break down rapidly, become very sticky, and develop a propensity to clump together, which causes them to become stuck and cause damage within blood vessels. The result is reduced blood flow to distal organs, which leads to physical symptoms of incapacitating pain, tissue and organ damage, and early death.2

VERB Announces New Program to Expand and Drive Revenue on MARKET.live
'Creators on Market' Program Pays Creators and Influencers to Choose From Tens of Thousands of Products From Popular Brands and Retailers Available on Market.live, and Sell Them to Their Fans and Followers Via Livestream Shopping. There is No Need for the Creators to Purchase or Handle Inventory or ShippingGlobeNewswireSeptember 29, 2022
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. and LEHI, Utah, Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verb Technology Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERB) ("VERB" or the "Company"), the leader in interactive video-based sales-enablement applications, including shoppable livestream video, today announces a new program to drive revenue on its MARKET.live livestream social shopping platform. The new program, tentatively titled 'Creators On MARKET,' provides social media content creators and influencers the ability to monetize their fan base more effectively, in ways not available on social media and ecommerce platforms.
Rory J. Cutaia, VERB CEO, explains the new program in a video available on MARKET.live. You can watch it here.
Through this new program, popular social media creators and influencers can quickly and easily create their own branded store on MARKET.live and then populate that store by choosing their favorite products from among tens of thousands of products available from select sellers on MARKET.live, including those from major brands and retailers. They can offer those products for sale to their fans and followers through the videos they are already creating and be paid a fee of between 5% to 20% of the gross sales revenue they generate. They will have no need or costs to purchase and maintain inventory and all the shipping and handling is done for them without charge.
The Company plans to launch an aggressive marketing campaign, targeting tens of thousands of creators and influencers on certain social media platforms.
The following is a transcript of the video by VERB's CEO, Rory J. Cutaia, explaining the new program, available now on MARKET.live:
Greetings - VERB fans, followers, shareholders, stakeholders, thank you, thank you very much for joining me on MARKET.live. I'm Rory Cutaia, CEO here at VERB.
So by now, you know that MARKET is a world class livestream social shopping platform. You also know that we have attracted, and continue to attract some of the world's biggest brands. Each week, you're seeing more and more brands activate on the platform, and you're seeing more and more live events.
Now, MARKET will continue to evolve and among the many exciting things you can look forward to seeing on MARKET, is original shoppable entertainment content. Production companies are actually currently developing shoppable original entertainment specifically for MARKET - this is that realization of our vision for VERB.TV you've heard me talk about extensively. I expect that quite a bit of that content will be available on MARKET before year-end.
You may have also seen the recent press releases about the upcoming Coresight Research 10/10 Livestream shopping festival, which will be streamed live on MARKET. And it is indeed an honor to have had MARKET selected to host that festival for Coresight Research - because - look - they are experts in retail technology - and an early advocate of livestream shopping.
We're also working to bring you live shoppable sporting events. And as we get closer to finalizing those opportunities, we'll share more information.
As you've heard me say previously, this is a numbers game. Since our revenue is function of the number of sales that take place on the platform, all of these initiatives are designed to attract more and more viewers that become shoppers on the platform, which in turn attracts more and more sellers to the platform, and so on, as each feeds the other - the more sellers on the platform, the more shoppers on the platform, and the more shoppers on the platform, the more sellers on the platform. It's an eco-system.
And it's this eco-system that we sought to create - an eco-system that is unique to MARKET, and one that drives the sales from which our own revenue is derived.
And it's certainly our expectation that the greater our revenue, the greater our share price. And that is our focus.
So today I'd like to announce a new program that we believe will accelerate the growth of that eco-system - rapidly and exponentially.
But first let me provide some context. You've all heard the term "creator economy". Well let me tell you something - the creator economy is exploding, and there's nothing that inflation or any of the other crazy things happening in this world are going to do to slow this down.
So think about this: How many creators and influencers produce videos on social media channels to promote their favorite product? How many unboxing videos are produced on YouTube every single day? How many style and fashion videos are produced? How many make-up and cosmetics videos? How many electronics videos?
Now think about how many people watch those videos and then they go out and buy those products.
Well - what if the creators and influencers producing those videos could actually sell those products to the millions of fans and followers that watch their videos.
Well under a new program we've created at MARKET - they can.
We're tentatively calling it Creators On Market.
Under this new program, creators and influencers can choose their favorite products from among tens of thousands of products from almost 300 brands and retailers on MARKET - right - choose them from the brands that are already on MARKET - choose those products - and then feature those products in the videos they are already creating - with one major difference - their fans and followers can actually buy those products in those videos - and the creators and influencers - they're going to get paid for doing so - they can receive anywhere from 5% to 20% of the gross sales that they generate - and best of all - for them - they don't have to make any investment in the inventory - they don't have to have any relationship with the manufacturers or the brands and retailers, and they don't have to hassle with doing any of the fulfillment, they don't have to do any of the picking, the packing, the shipping - that is all done for them.
The only thing they need do is go to MARKET.live, set up their storefront. But look - here's where it gets interesting. They can then stock their stores simply by choosing the products they know and love that are available from other stores and brands already on MARKET, and then feature those products in their videos and invite their fans and followers to watch. That's it.
And we're not talking about products from brands no one ever heard of - we're talking about products from Target, Best Buy, Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta, Loft, Saks Off 5th, SSENSE, The Container Store, among many, many others.
So, we believe we can attract as many as 1,000 active sellers to MARKET, each of whom have large followings, by this time next year - possibly, possibly, many, many more. And then, on even the most modest revenue assumptions from each seller, we believe this represents a meaningful, meaningful enhancement to our revenue, which we believe should lead to a higher share price.
So, in the next several weeks, we will launch an aggressive marketing campaign on various social media channels targeting specifically, those creators and those influencers that promote, but don't currently sell, those products from among the categories of products available from select retailers on MARKET right now. This is our low hanging fruit.
Creators and influencers can apply for early access to the program, with preference given to those with the largest established base of followers. We're going to provide a robust set of tools and resources to assist these creators and influencers to achieve success on MARKET.
And by the way, look - they don't need to abandon what they're already doing on other social channels, this is really just an enhancement to what they're already doing - making adoption of this new program an easy decision. This will allow these people that are creating all this content, to actually monetize that content in a way they can't do anyplace else.
Creating value that is actually reflected in our share price? - well look that's not easy in these difficult economic times - but it remains our sole focus and we believe that this new program, coupled with what we believe is the best livestream shopping platform in the world, will create the quantifiable value our shareholders have come to expect and certainly deserve.
So thank you for your time. Now go ahead and shop our stores on MARKET and be entertained by the livestream sessions. And we'll catch up again real soon. Thank you so much for your time.”

Cepton Adds Lidar Digital Twin To NVIDIA DRIVE Sim, Advancing The Development Of Safe Autonomous Driving Technology
Collaboration enriches NVIDIA DRIVE Sim's library of vehicle, sensor and traffic models for accurate testing and validation
Cutting-edge simulation platform provides true-to-life representation of Cepton lidar applications across various automotive use cases
Users can test multiple Cepton lidars in a high-fidelity virtual setting to accelerate and scale deployment
Cepton, Inc. ("Cepton" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:CPTN), a Silicon Valley innovator and leader in high-performance lidar solutions, announced that it is collaborating with NVIDIA to add Cepton lidar models into NVIDIA DRIVE Simâ?¢.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220921005471/en/
DRIVE Sim is an end-to-end simulation platform that enables large-scale, physically based multi-sensor simulation to support the development and validation of autonomous driving.
As a member of the NVIDIA DRIVE Sim ecosystem, Cepton is adding an accurate digital twin of its lidar technology to the platform. These models will help automakers and autonomous vehicle developers accelerate lidar deployment while minimizing real-world test driving.
The Cepton lidar extension offers high-fidelity simulation and visualization of Cepton's state-of-the-art lidar sensors. Cepton is the first lidar partner to provide dual near- and long-range simulation. This capability is simulated and demonstrated in NVIDIA's DRIVE Sim platform. The two-fold detection enables blind spot elimination (near-range Nova lidar) coupled with obstacle detection at highway speeds (long-range Vista-X series), across various true-to-life driving scenarios.
By working with NVIDIA, Cepton aims to expedite the development of lidar-based assisted and autonomous driving functionalities for global customers. DRIVE Sim enables users to easily work with Cepton's lidar models in a virtual setting to prototype a range of sensor integration options, visualize lidar scan patterns in different environments and optimize their sensor configurations with tunable settings such as frame rate, field of view and range of interest.
In addition to helping users identify the right Cepton lidar sensors for their specific application needs, simulation also helps developers integrate Cepton lidars with other sensor modalities, such as camera and radar. Beyond testing and integration, Cepton's lidar models can be used with NVIDIA DRIVE Replicator to generate synthetic datasets for training AI Deep Neural Networks for multi-sensor fusion and AV perception.
"Lidar is essential to autonomous mobility, but deploying lidar at scale entails extensive testing and validation, sometimes in scenarios difficult to access in real life," said Dr. Jun Pei, Cepton's co-founder and CEO. "Simulation plays a significant role in bridging the gap between concept and deployment, and that's why we are thrilled to offer access to simulated models of our lidars on the NVIDIA DRIVE Sim platform.
"With DRIVE Sim's powerful ray-tracing engine, we can build fully configurable, physically accurate models of our entire suite of products. These capabilities will enable developers to be more efficient and build safer products."
Zvi Greenstein, general manager for Simulation at NVIDIA, said: "A rich sensor ecosystem is critical for robust AV development and validation in simulation. With the addition of Cepton sensor models, developers have access to a physically based lidar model that will significantly reduce the need for real- world data collection and testing."
Cepton's patented lidar technology enables an optimal balance between performance, reliability and cost efficiency. Cepton offers a comprehensive portfolio of lidar solutions, including lidar sensors for near-range to ultra-long range and intelligent perception solutions for automotive and smart infrastructure applications. With their compact size and seamlessly embeddable design, Cepton lidars can be integrated in a variety of vehicle locations without disrupting the appearance of modern passenger cars. Multiple simulated lidar integration options will be available as part of Cepton's lidar models on NVIDIA DRIVE Sim.
DRIVE Sim is built on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform for connecting and building custom 3D pipelines, and is architected from the ground up with multi-GPU support for large-scale, multi-sensor simulation. It is open, modular and extensible, leveraging the Omniverse Kit SDK, so developers can build compatible models, 3D content and validation tools. Users can create their own plugins or choose from a rich library of vehicle, sensor and traffic models provided by DRIVE Sim ecosystem partners such as Cepton.
