Volatus Aerospace Receives Canadian Transportation Agency License for Drone Cargo Services

Volatus Aerospace Corp.

Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV: VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has been issued a Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) License for domestic service, all-cargo aircraft. This license builds on the existing capabilities authorized by CTA licenses held by Volatus subsidiaries Partner Jet Inc. (Volatus Aviation) and Synergy Aviation. The addition of this license allows the Company to build its drone cargo capability under the Volatus brand in preparation for the anticipated Transport Canada/FAA regulatory changes. “Positioning Volatus with this license is an important step toward our long-term vision of drone cargo operations, when we are scheduled to take delivery of the first 3.8 tonne Natilus Kona uncrewed regional feeder aircraft (announced in a press release on January 25, 2022 ),” says Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace Corp. “It is still early days for large, commercial drone cargo and our primary revenues for the next few years will continue to come from data, analytics, intelligence and equipment sales.” “Today, our cargo business is limited to smaller drones, which are practical for inter-island, remote areas, industrial sites, medical and offshore applications. These current use cases continue to build our experience and reputation as an operator of cargo drones,” added Michael Hill, Regional Director for Volatus. About Volatus Aerospace: Volatus Aerospace Corp. is a leading provider of integrated drone solutions throughout North America and growing into Latin America and globally. Volatus serves civil, public safety, and defense markets with imaging and inspection, security and surveillance, equipment sales and support, training, as well as R&D, design, and manufacturing. Through our subsidiary, Volatus Aviation, we are introducing green and innovative drone solutions to supplement and replace traditional aircraft and helicopters for long-linear inspections such as pipeline, energy, rail, and cargo services. Volatus is committed to carbon neutrality; the fostering of a safe, equitable and inclusive workplace; and responsible governance. About Natilus: Natilus was founded in 2016 to commoditize the air cargo transport industry by designing and manufacturing one of the world’s first autonomous aircraft for efficient and sustainable freight transport. This new fleet of blended wing body (BWB) autonomous freight aircraft will increase volume by 60% and lower costs by 60%, while reducing carbon emissions by 50%. Natilus aircraft use existing ground infrastructure and standard air cargo containers to produce an innovative turnkey solution for customers. The first in a family of aircraft, the Natilus Kona, is expected to carry up to 4.3 metric tonnes of freight, fly as far as 900 nautical miles, and cruise at 220 knots. To date, Natilus has an order book of $6B for 460+ aircraft. Volatus has the rights to the first aircraft production slot.

Minuteman Press International Founder & CEO Bob Titus Reflects on 50 Years in Business

Minuteman Press International Inc

In 2023, Minuteman Press International is proud to celebrate 50 years in business! The first Minuteman Press center opened in Plainview, NY in 1973. Roy Titus, founder of Minuteman Press along with his son Bob Titus, decided to open the shop after running a successful operation for Parent’s Magazine. While working with other printers for Parent’s Magazine, Roy realized that the printing industry was a huge market that had untapped potential. In 1973, that first Plainview shop served as a quick printing operation that filled the need for 1-color, short-run orders that needed to be done fast. From there, Roy tapped into the potential of the industry, creating the first one-stop Minuteman Press design, marketing, and printing center. Products and capabilities expanded, and over the past 50 years, Minuteman Press has continued to be at the forefront of the printing industry as leaders and innovators. It all started with that first Plainview shop in 1973, where Roy, along with his son Bob and childhood friends Jim Galasso and Dave Scadin, laid the foundation for the worldwide franchisor that Minuteman Press International is today. Bob Titus, who remains our CEO today, shares his thoughts, experiences, and memories of what it was like laying the groundwork in 1973. What was it like working in the Plainview shop in 1973? Bob Titus: “Jimmy Galasso and I ran the shop together, and a couple of months later we brought in Dave Scadin. I have known both of them since I was 6-years-old. I came home from college, and Jimmy was working at a sporting goods store. He came to our house and when my dad offered him the job, he said yes. We needed someone else down the road, and that’s when Dave joined us after working for the Town of Oyster Bay. Originally, Dave was making deliveries for us, but one day our press broke. Dave came into the shop and told us to get out of the way. He fixed the press and from that point forward he was our press operator. Over the years, we’ve had 36 people from Oyster Bay High School and St. Dominic’s High School work with us. It all stemmed from us as childhood friends working together and then expanding from there. It’s been an incredible ride.” What was it like working with your dad Roy Titus? How did you get started running the shop? Bob Titus: “My dad and I didn’t work in the shop together but he would come in and give us great ideas. He was really smart, and did things like start our marketing program and add pickup and delivery as a service to our customers. For me, this all started with my dad hiring an old-time printer named Tom, who taught me and Jimmy Galasso how to run the press and do bindery work. One day, a real estate customer came into the Plainview shop and my dad happened to be there. They wanted flyers printed and delivered down the street to their office once the job was done. Tom said we don’t do delivery, and my dad stepped in and said that yes, we’ll deliver the job once it’s finished. Tom said we wouldn’t want to get into delivery, and Roy disagreed. My dad saw this as a great service we could provide that would make it easy for customers to do business with us. He also decided that we don’t have to wait for customers to come in, and that we can go to the customers ourselves. At the time, the huge commercial printers were looking for home run clients, and they were not going door to door. We started going door to door, starting in the retail area, and we were picking up business.” “The two biggest things we did to really get the shop going strong were: Marketing to the customers, going to them and not waiting for them to come to us; Adding pickup and delivery options at a time where others just weren’t doing that. My dad always told us to never say no to the customer. No matter what the customer wants, get it for them.” -Bob Titus How did Minuteman Press originally grow from there into a franchise? Bob Titus: “First, our Plainview shop went from an AB Dick 1-color press to an older Multi-Graphic Press that really improved the quality of the work we were doing. When we opened the second Farmingdale store, we purchased a new Multi-Graphic Press along with our first 3M camera that lead to us implementing the franchise model for other shops. We found that the 3M company invented a plastic plate camera where the plastic plates would cost about the same as a paper platemaker. The plastic plates allowed for metal plate quality that wouldn’t stretch and allowed for 2-color printing. The salesman told us the camera could help us produce 2, 3, and 4-color printing with plastic plates that don’t stretch like paper plates, and he was right. The cameras did everything the salesman said they could do. We first hired Mike Jutt as our press operator for the Farmingdale shop, where we first used the press with the 3M camera. He did a great job and the Farmingdale center became the prototype for the Minuteman Press franchise. When we started franchising, we asked Mike to create the training program to teach the owners our system. He created and implemented the training program, and he’s done an absolutely fabulous job for 50 years. Mike ultimately became our Executive VP & Director of Training, and is still going strong today.” “I want to share one quick story from our Farmingdale shop. This speaks to the importance of being involved in the community and joining local clubs and organizations. At that time, Farmingdale merchants held their Hardscrabble Day. Families would come to the event and one year, they needed to hire a clown at the last minute. My dad volunteered to pay for the clown, who would blow up balloons for the kids and put smiles on their faces. The families were happy, the merchants saw us as saviors for stepping in to help, and many of them started using us for their printing. That $50 investment and ‘saving the day’ lead to a lot of business.” -Bob Titus “Because the press and camera worked so well in Farmingdale, my dad ordered another one for our Plainview shop, and then a third one. When the head honchos at 3M saw that we had purchased 3 cameras in 6 months, they paid us a visit to see what we were doing. On their end, they were having trouble selling the cameras because other printers were reluctant to change. They said we had a terrific idea for using these cameras and suggested we franchise. 3M really believed in our concept and our program, and so they offered financing to new owners. They allowed the owners to form a shell corporation so that they wouldn’t have personal liability. We then went to a franchise show at the NY Coliseum, just looking to put people into business in the Tri-State Area, and we would support those owners. At that show, we had one prospect who wanted to open in Boston, and another one who wanted to open in Los Angeles. At first, we said no to going out of state, but they were persistent. At that point, my dad reached out to six quality people who had worked for him in the past, who had sons that were around my age. My dad felt this would be a great business for a father and son, and he was able to hire them. He had them go to six different cities - Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, and Los Angeles – and hire a press operator. They ran these Minuteman Press shops with the press and 3M cameras, and followed our business model. Then, they franchised and supported the new stores that opened around them while also working in their own shops. As these cities expanded with more franchises, we could no longer run our own stores while supporting the new owners. That is when we made the decision to sell those original shops we owned and support the owners full-time. We had the press operator, the marketing person, and the regional vice president for those locations, and that’s how our local support teams were originally formed. Ultimately, we sold hundreds of 3M cameras, and they also were able to sell the ancillary materials needed for those cameras. This really helped us get going as a franchise, and the company-owned stores became profitable very quickly because of the new marketing program we introduced. As we generated more and more business and sold those satellite stores, that’s how we created the support teams that laid the groundwork for our regional teams today.” What are some the key ways that Minuteman Press has evolved over the years? Bob Titus: “One of the biggest changes we’ve ever made was when my dad introduced the royalty cap to our owners around 1977-78. The owners thought we were crazy, but what happened is that this really incentivized our owners to sell more and more. At the time, we saw owners who were making 15K/month at the time start selling 20, 30, 40K, 50K. My dad sent them a letter and told them to act as if you’re paying the full royalties, and use that money to reinvest and build the business. Many of our owners bought into this idea. They appreciated the royalty cap but also understood how important it was to hire that extra marketing person, or add that piece of equipment, etc.” Other key changes Bob noted are: We originally created manual price lists that went from 50 to 1,000 copies, for 1-color printing on 8.5 x 11, 8.5 x 14, or 11 x 17. Eventually, we decided to develop pricing software. Our original pricing software was on a Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack. It was developed by an owner in Dallas, Texas, who had a computer background and previously worked for EDS (Electronic Data Systems). We then hired IT people to create our first software program. This laid the groundwork and planted the seeds to what is the incredibly dynamic FLEX pricing and management software today. When copiers were invented in the 1970s, people wrongly predicted that all of the printers would go out of business. Instead, when Xerox machines were introduced, printers bought the machines and grew their sales. To this day, our partnerships with Xerox and Konica-Minolta have been a tremendous asset to our owners. Everything we’ve done / added from a products and services standpoint has worked. We would add new products based on what our owners would be farming out. That’s how we added apparel and promotional products, as it just made sense to add those based on what they were selling. Other key changes and points of growth include direct mail / EDDM, digital printing, wide format printing. “We started this business by filling a void for our clients. To this day, we continue to fill that void in different areas that make sense and meet their needs.” -Bob Titus Is there anything else you’d like to share? Bob Titus: “My dad was president of Minuteman Press for the first 20 years, and we were in pure growth mode in terms of opening new franchise locations. We expanded from the USA into Canada, and I even ran the Toronto office for two years. For the next 25 years of our history, I was president of the company. We expanded even further internationally to the UK, Australia, and South Africa. I felt that my job was to improve on existing services and add services that made the most sense for our owners. We would conduct studies and see what’s next, then implement new items to benefit our owners. Everything we did and still do, we always try to think of how we can best help them. For over 3 years now, my son Nick has been president of the company. He took over for me just 3 months before the pandemic. Looking back on it now, this is one of the best decisions we made to elevate him to president when we did. There is no way I could have carried us through the way he did. Everything he did and everything our team did was just tremendous. There were daily communications, the Bounce Back program, and so much hard work and dedication. His vision helped all of us adapt. Even though I already knew this, it just assured me that everybody’s in great hands.” Bob concludes: “Looking back, I think of the longtime owners that helped us build the company. And then I think of every owner out there who has since helped us build, whether they realize it or not. We are all like family, and we’re in this together. Let me also say that what makes me feel so gratified is when the business is turned over from parents to their kids. It’s always such a great feeling to see a business that people worked really hard to build carry through to the next generation. I know that from experience, as both a son and as a dad. Over 50 years… it’s certainly been an incredible ride.” For more information on Minuteman Press products and services and to find your local Minuteman Press franchise, visit https://minuteman.com.

NFL Player Helps to Rebuild Homes and Communities During Super Bowl Weekend

YourUpdateTV

Nationwide, more than 2.6 million homeowners live in deteriorating, physically inadequate homes that threaten their health and safety. And it’s happening in neighborhoods all across the nation, even those five miles away from State Farm Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LVII. Recently, NFL Running Back Leonard Fournette teamed up with Rebuilding Together and Lowe’s on a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the Kickoff to Rebuild initiative and how they are helping communities in need. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/mJCI8JgqHNs Rebuilding Together, a leading national nonprofit rebuilding communities in need, has partnered with Lowe’s, the Official Home Improvement Sponsor of the NFL, to provide essential home repairs for six families in Glendale’s beloved Ocotillo Rose neighborhood. Through Kickoff to Rebuild, a Super Bowl sanctioned event, the organization has helped repair more than 170 homes, engaged more than 5,000 volunteers and invested more than $5 million to communities in need. This year’s event was led by the nonprofit’s local affiliate, Rebuilding Together Valley of the Sun, which has helped provide more than 500 Arizona families with safer community spaces and healthier homes over the past 30 years. As part of this project, volunteers repaired leaking roofs and ceilings, completed grab bar installations and window replacements, as well as beautified houses by painting and landscaping. Additionally, the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Phoenix Swift Kids Branch – located in the heart of Glendale and home to 120 youth – received various repairs and upgrades to help keep the club an engaging place for over 120 youths.

Highly Incentivized Scramble For Commercial and Residential Solar As Some Energy Bills Expected To Skyrocket 50% - 200%

SinglePoint Inc.

By Michael O'Connor, Benzinga Of the total new electricity-generating capacity added in the United States last year, 46% was solar power. Even as supply-chain disruptions led to increased costs for solar panels, 2021 broke records with more than 500,000 solar installation projects completed in a single year for the first time – ever. Now with the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. solar market could experience even more of a boom — the Solar Energy Industries Association® (SEIA) recently issued a press release around a report on September 8, saying that “the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will help the U.S. solar market grow 40% over baseline projections through 2027, equal to 62 gigawatts (GW) of additional solar capacity, according to new forecasts in the U.S. Solar Market Insight Q3 2022 report”. President Joe Biden referenced some of these points in the recent State of the Union address, showing continued dedication to the topic that some companies in the industry noted is a good sign of government follow-through. “The Inflation Reduction Act has given the solar industry the most long-term certainty it has ever had,” said Michelle Davis, principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie and lead author of the report. “Ten years of investment tax credits stand in stark contrast to the one-, two-, or five-year extensions the industry has experienced in the last decade. It’s not an overstatement to say that the IRA will lead to a new era for the U.S. solar industry.” The Biden Administration aims to transition the nation's grid to at least 40% solar by 2035. For this ambitious goal to become a reality, solar energy providers have many panels to install. And large companies in the space, such as First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) and Enphase (NASDAQ: ENPH), will benefit significantly from smaller companies that sell and install the projects to the property owners. Occurring at the same time, there are reports of massive price increases for energy that could be digging into businesses' bottom line nationwide and encouraging a significant uptick in commercial solar spending and installation. Wil Ralston, CEO of emerging solar player SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING), said, “Many of our clients and partners are experiencing unprecedented increases in their electricity bills. As a part of our sales process, we evaluate potential customers’ energy purchasing needs, and we have seen utility bill increases ranging from 50% to 200% on commercial utility prices. Our company aims to help offset and reduce those expenses through direct energy purchases agreements and renewable energy solutions such as solar and energy storage.” While Europe has garnered many headlines for enormous spikes in energy costs primarily due to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the rest of the world may be just a little behind. Many businesses that are already being incentivized by the Inflation Reduction Act are most likely experiencing an additional effect of rising electricity costs — the upshot of which could be a unique and crucial time for solar installers and service providers. Ralston added, “Between generous tax credits and rapidly rising energy costs, there never has been a time in the past that the economic decision to go solar has been more obvious to many potential customers. And with SinglePoint’s vertically integrated structure, we feel we are well-positioned to capitalize on the expected surge in solar energy going forward.” SinglePoint is a company working to make the solar industry more customer-friendly. The rapidly growing renewable energy solutions company has been developing a diversified portfolio of services, including the acquisition of The Boston Solar Company, LLC, a leading solar installer based in Massachusetts. The company reported Q3 Revenue of $6,589,227 vs. Q3 2021 of $273,877 — SinglePoint’s strategy has been to build a nationwide network of solar panel installers to help transform the complicated landscape of the solar industry into one that’s easier to navigate for both residential and commercial customers. SinglePoint, with a market capitalization of only $5.37 million, may be worth watching for a positive revolution in the market to reflect this revenue growth.

ESG Stocks Poised To Pop in 2023 (VKIN, ABB, EADSY, NIO)

CapitalGainsReport - Market & Financial News Commentary

Investing in smaller ESG (environmental, social, and governance) stocks can bring a number of benefits to investors. These companies often focus on sustainability and social responsibility, which can lead to strong relationships with stakeholders and a positive reputation. Additionally, smaller ESG stocks are often less established and may have more room for growth, providing investors with the potential for higher returns. ESG factors can also be extremely important in risk management and ensuring the company's long-term stability, which results in a more resilient investment portfolio. According to Dow Jones' survey of 200 financial leaders, ESG investments are projected to more than double in the next three years, accounting for 15% of all investments by 2025. ESG is here for the long run. By considering smaller ESG stocks, investors can align their values and financial goals while potentially reaping the benefits of a more responsible and sustainable investment strategy. Here are four ESG stocks to put on your watchlist for 2023. Viking Energy Group Inc. (OTC: VKIN) is an ESG, growth-oriented, diversified energy company. Viking provides customized energy and power solutions to commercial and industrial clients in North America and holds interests in oil and natural gas assets in the United States through a number of subsidiaries in which it holds a majority stake. Technologies that fall under the VKIN umbrella range from carbon capture to green biodiesel production. Viking Energy also has the licensing rights to the technology of ESG Clean Energy LLC for Canada and 25 other markets in the United States. Last year, VKIN secured a US Patent (No. 11,286,832) relating to the IP and other rights licensed by VKIN from ESG involving a Bottoming Cycle Power System related to its carbon capture technology. The patent covers the invention of an ‘exhaust-gas-to-exhaust-gas-heat exchanger.’ Furthermore, the company owns a majority stake in entities with intellectual property rights to a fully developed, ready-for-market proprietary Medical & Biohazard Waste Treatment System based on Ozone Technology, as well as an Open Conductor Detection System for power grid use. VKIN recently announced an update regarding its medical waste treatment technology. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. Utility Patent No. 11,565,289 to Viking Ozone Technology, LLC, the company's majority-owned subsidiary. The patent is titled "Multi-Chamber Medical Waste Ozone-Based Treatment Systems and Methods." VKIN states that a related international application is in the works, and in the near future, a few nations will be chosen for national phase coverage. The company believes that the approval of this US patent application will result in the issuance of additional related patents in other countries. This utility patent relates to Viking Ozone's proprietary methods and devices utilizing ozone-based treatments for biohazardous waste. Viking expects to use this technology in waste treatment and disposal systems, such as those used in hospitals, prisons, laboratories, military bases, and care facilities. According to the World Health Organization, managing medical waste requires greater diligence and care in order to avoid negative health effects. As the demand for medical waste grows, it is critical to prioritize waste treatment and disposal options that are both safe and environmentally responsible. VKIN is leading the market with their revolutionary patent and should be at the top of any savvy investor's watchlist for ESG stocks in 2023. ABB Ltd. (NYSE: ABB) is a technology leader in electrification and automation, focusing on a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. The company’s solutions connect engineering know-how and software to optimize the way things are manufactured, moved, powered, and operated. ABB announced a fourth-quarter profit of $1.13 billion on Thursday of last week. The Zurich-based business reported 60 cents in earnings per share, beating Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of the four analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of 39 cents per share. The industrial automation company outperformed Wall Street expectations with revenue of $7.82 billion during the quarter, whereas the three analysts surveyed by Zacks expected a revenue of $7.58 billion. For the year, the company reported profits of $2.48 billion, or $1.30 per share. Revenue was reported at $29.45 billion. ABB shares have increased by 16% since the beginning of the year. ABB is well-positioned to benefit from growing demand for industrial automation and robotics, while margins are expected to expand as a result of the company’s restructuring. Airbus SE (OTC: EADSY) gains from the theme of "air taxis," which are highly automated aircraft designed to cover short distances of less than 250 kilometers, or around 150 miles. Deloitte Insights estimates that the market for so-called electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles in the United States could top $17.7 billion by 2040 and reach $3.4 billion by 2025. CityAirbus NextGen is a brand-new flying cab that Airbus unveiled in 2021. By 2035, the company hopes to have the first commercial aircraft with zero emissions. On February 3, EADSY announced they had won a federal contract award for $198,256 from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, for aircraft parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. This just represents one win for the company lately, putting them in the right place to have a solid 2023. Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) is a pioneer and a leading company in the premium smart electric vehicle market. NIO was founded in November 2014 with the mission to shape a joyful lifestyle around electric vehicles.
