Minuteman Press Franchise in Cranberry Township, PA Moves to New Location

Minuteman Press International Inc

The Minuteman Press franchise in Cranberry Township has moved to a brand new facility located at 1185 Freedom Road, Cranberry Twp, PA 16066. Rich Coyner has owned the business for six years, while the shop itself has been operating for over 20 years. Rich shares, “Our original location was initially setup to accommodate offset presses and a backroom operation with little retail-facing space. We moved away from the offset press business five years ago and needed a fresh look that allows our customers to see how technology has changed the way we deliver printed services to them.” He continues, “We moved into a larger space that is wide open and enables our clients to see more of our operation and capabilities. Our digital presses are near the front of the store and clients can see how we move a job from print to completion. We also added a larger lobby area with display racks for logo apparel and a display case for our promotional products lines. Our lobby is also wide open and accessible for customers in accordance with ADA guidelines.” Growing the Business When asked how he’s grown Minuteman Press in Cranberry Township since purchasing the business six years ago, Rich highlights the following: “ Diversification / Expansion of Products – When I purchased the business, the focus was only on printing paper products. We have expanded into promotional products, logo apparel, EDDM and direct mail, wide format printing, and more. I eliminated our offset presses, purchased a Xante Envelope Press, added 2 new digital presses and upgraded all of our equipment by purchasing a new challenge cutter, Baumfolder Folding Machine and Graphic Whizard Perf & Scoring machine to ensure we could provide quality products in a timely manner. We also expanded our marketing efforts to pursue promotional products and apparel opportunities from our existing customer base. Acquisition – I acquired an independent print shop that was a few miles north of me and rolled his business into our existing operation. Networking – I am a Board Member on the largest Chamber of Commerce group in the Greater Pittsburgh area – The Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber – and I leverage these networking opportunities and relationships to market my business. Community Welcome Wagon – I’ve also partnered with the local Welcome Wagon business – North Pittsburgh Greeting Co. – who welcomes all new businesses to the area and provides them a list of local businesses and goodies to help them get their business off the ground. We offer 500 Free Business cards and 500 Envelopes as a way of welcoming them to the area and letting them know we can support their printing and marketing needs.” Rich adds, “We have a great team that enjoys meeting the needs of our customers. I know that if I continue to invest in good people, new technology and keep things moving forward, the customers will stay with us. At Minuteman Press, we continue to evolve and strive to get better at everything we do to make sure our customers are happy and satisfied with our work. If we can provide a solution, we do it! And if for some reason we can’t, we’ll point them in the right direction.” Career Change & Franchise Support Prior to buying the business, Rich shares, “I spent over 30 years in the transportation & logistics industry, 20-plus years working in Corporate America for three Fortune 500 companies and the last 12 years running a privately held third-party logistics organization. I knew how to run a company but was not sure what I wanted to do so I became involved in franchise consulting as a Certified Franchise Consultant. I came across Minuteman Press in Cranberry Twp and decided to purchase it. I knew how to run a company but knew nothing about the printing industry, so I did some research and worked with the local SBDC to better understand the industry and its future potential.” Over the past six years, Rich has continued to receive ongoing franchise support from Minuteman Press International. He explains, “Minuteman Press provides a great platform to run your business along with a diverse vendor base to meet just about any needs a customer may have. Their FLEX software is a great tool for managing day-to-day operations and my central facility work is about 35%-40% of my business because we have such great vendors in the Minuteman Press program. I can do more sales with less staff using the central facility model.” Advice for Others As for what advice he would give to other business owners, Rich says, “The best advice I can give is run your business – don’t let it run you. It’s important to not let the business run you as you need to let your employees run the day-to-day and you need to be thinking big picture. Know what you want to be today, tomorrow and the next day – the world does not stand still so if you slow down it will pass you by.” Rich adds, “Also, treat your employees well! Without your team, you cannot meet the challenges of being a successful business owner.” For more information on Minuteman Press in Cranberry Township, PA, visit their website: https://minuteman.com/us/locations/pa/cranberry-township/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and read Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com Contact Details Minuteman Press International Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com

The Department Of Education Issues Recommendations For How Educators Should Approach The Use Of AI – Benzinga Dives Deeper With EdTech CEO

Amesite Inc.

By David Willey, Benzinga Follow the latest news from Amesite, Inc. Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, CEO of Amesite, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST), recently appeared on Benzinga’s All Access Live, a live show where Benzinga highlights companies and leaders who are transforming their industry. Amesite is an eLearning platform and content provider powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The company is looking to revolutionize the traditional educational experience and harness the power of AI for the next generation of learners. Amesite has had an AI-first approach from its inception, and Dr. Sastry spoke about how this “build-to-integrate” approach has given the company both philosophical and technical advantages in the market. The company sees that the world is moving rapidly toward the integration of AI across all sectors, and it believes that this is creating a need for services that make AI readily available and part of daily life. Also, on a very practical level, Dr. Sastry believes companies that don’t adopt AI will quickly become obsolete and be left behind in the fast-changing economic environment. Amesite is addressing this need both by integrating AI technology into its platform and by educating its users in AI competence. One way it is doing this is by offering a free course on the fundamentals of ChatGPT. Amesite’s AI-First Framework In fact, Amesite moved early to integrate language learning model (LLM) technology, and it recently announced the launch of its Version 6.3 (V6) platform, which incorporates GPT4 technology. This means that courses hosted on Amesite’s platform take advantage of cutting-edge AI features to provide a premium Learning Management System (LMS). Dr. Sastry explained how with Amesite, people can harness AI to answer questions and create content, enabling the delivery of mass customized, deeply engaging learning experiences. Dr. Sastry credits their provision of AI solutions as one of the reasons why Amesite delivers a high retention rate of 99% for learners on its platform. Dr. Sastry highlighted Amesite’s GPT-4 powered AI bot, which is available 24/7 to provide learners with support and answers to their questions. The platform also has a feature that allows for contextualized information. That means courses on popular topics will include a sidebar populated with current news stories to complement the course material with up-to-date sources. These features, and Amesite’s approach, make it an increasingly popular choice for organizations looking to leverage AI. “The world is moving very fast,” said Dr. Sastry. “You have to have the infrastructure and the mindset. We are an AI-first company, we have been thinking about this for a long time, and we’re integrating it very rapidly.” Amesite recently published a free integration white paper that can be downloaded by the public here. The Need For An AI-Powered Learning System The interview occurred following the Department of Education issuing recommendations for how educators should approach the use of AI in a learning environment. A survey of 1,000 college students found that more than 60% had used ChatGPT for help with homework, and a third had used it on a written assignment. This means that it is important to integrate ChatGPT and other AI tools into the classroom, not only to provide learning benefits but because it is crucial for helping students approach technology in a controlled and supportive environment. This is what Amesite is looking to do through its premium platform and eLearning service. Amesite has already worked with numerous institutions, including universities, museums, and corporations, to deliver important educational and upskilling training. Read more about Amesite’s position as a cutting-edge adopter of AI in education. Amesite Inc., an artificial intelligence driven platform and course designer, provides online products in the United States. The company uses machine learning to offer a mass customized experience to learners. Its customers include businesses, universities and colleges, K-12 schools, and non-profit organizations. The company was incorporated in 2017 and is headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Charge Enterprises’s Laser-Focused Strategy To Capitalize On The Growing Need For Infrastructure To Support Dealerships As They Transition To EVs

Charge Enterprises, Inc

By David Willey, Benzinga Stay up to date with Charge as it helps roll out EV infrastructure across America. Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) continue to rise and are anticipated to pass 1 million for the first time in 2023. However, managing the transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric cars is complex and involves boosting consumer confidence and the infrastructure to support the transition. Major car manufacturers like Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM) are dependent on their franchised dealerships to assist in the adoption of EVs. GM is investing $35 billion between 2020 and 2025 to support the EV transition and has enrolled nearly 1,000 dealerships in its Community Charging Program. Meanwhile, Ford will spend $50 billion on EV investments by 2026, in an effort to increase its EV adoption rates. 65% of its dealerships have already joined Ford’s EV certification program, which requires each dealership to spend up to $1.2 million on the switch. The majority of this spending goes towards installing EV infrastructure. Overall, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dealerships are predicted to spend $5.5 billion on EV infrastructure, with an estimated cost of $100,000 to $1 million per store. Charge Enterprises Is Working With Dealerships In Transition As dealerships continue to grow their share of EV sales, they are reportedly frequently the face of the EV transition and the main point of contact for consumers. In places like Detroit, Michigan, which will be part of a major new binational EV corridor, dealerships could be essential for giving car buyers the confidence that the EV network is scaling. The importance of having public, properly functioning charging stations was underscored in a 2022 survey of customer sentiment that revealed widespread frustration with malfunctioning EV charging stations. If EV sales continue to increase, the supporting infrastructure appears to be straining, as charging points can underperform and issues can go unaddressed as they arise. This problem, combined with the continued push for public stations from OEMs and dealerships, could positively impact companies like Charge Enterprises Inc. (NASDAQ: CRGE). Charge specializes in broadband, wireless and EV charging infrastructure. Charge plans to deploy a multi-phased strategy, initially where investment in the EV charging revolution is taking place, the nation’s approximately 18,000 franchised auto dealers. Starting with the largest automotive OEMs, their dealers, and their fleets, the company’s goal is to capture a significant portion of these retail dealerships - creating a dealer ecosystem that will lead to repeat customers and recurring revenue. Charge plans to execute this strategy while remaining agnostic to the hardware it installs. This means it isn’t competing directly in the crowded, charging hardware market. As the charging infrastructure market is so large, Charge has set its sights on the dealership sector, and it is keeping its strategy laser-focused on fulfillment in this sector. The company set the goal to collaborate with 1,000 dealerships by the end of 2025, and it has already made significant gains toward this goal, reaching 15% of its target by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Based on the current backlog, pipeline data, and current industry pricing, the company believes the initial installation projects at these 1,000 locations could represent approximately $365 million in potential revenue upon completion of all phases of the projects. The company was featured in a recent Forbes article that highlighted the upward trajectory of Charge as it deepens its position in the EV market. As of March 31, 2023, its EV division made up 20% of the $107 million of reported backlog within the company’s infrastructure segment, and the company worked with 20 different brands in the last quarter alone. It has also already collaborated with leading power and EV development companies, while maintaining its flexible, capital-lite approach to the market. Charge Enterprises Inc. operates as an electrical, broadband, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure company. The company provides clients with end-to-end project management services, including advising, designing, engineering, acquiring and installing equipment, monitoring, servicing, and maintenance. It operates in two segments, Infrastructure and Telecommunications. The Infrastructure segment offers broadband and wireless, electrical contracting, electric vehicle charging, and fleet services. The Telecommunications segment provides internet-protocol-based and time-division multiplexing access for transport of long-distance voice and data minutes; domestic switching and related peripheral equipment services, and carrier-grade routers and switches for internet and circuit-based services, as well as connection of voice calls and data services. The company was formerly known as TransWorld Holdings Inc and changed its name to Charge Enterprises, Inc. in January 2021. Charge Enterprises, Inc. was incorporated in 2003 and is based in New York, New York. This post contains sponsored content.

Recently, Airbnb Superhost, Katy Severe, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about her experience being Airbnb host and share tips for any educators considering Hosting during the summer break. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/ZeizUJJRJQ8 Like other Americans, teachers have had to navigate the rising cost of living, often on tight salaries. To help make ends meet, teachers have taken to hosting on Airbnb as an option to help supplement income during summer months and beyond. In 2022, teachers collectively earned more than $330 million1 - including $110 million2 during the summer months alone. This money helps provide a meaningful boost in income when class is not in session, and can help cover household bills, pay for everyday expenses, and fund hobbies outside of the classroom. Educator Hosts have long been a part of the Airbnb community. In 2022, the number of US educators hosting on Airbnb increased by nearly 10 percent3 compared with the previous year, underscoring the fact that more and more teachers are taking advantage of the economic benefits of home sharing. Hosting is now easier than ever Airbnb has made it easier than ever to become a Host with Airbnb Setup and over 25 new features and upgrades for Hosts. For those looking to become a Private Room Host, Airbnb recently introduced Airbnb Rooms, an all-new take on the original Airbnb that helps guests travel more affordably, connect with people and have authentic experience, and get to know their Hosts. In 2022, over 25 percent of US teachers on the platform were private room Hosts4. In the current economic environment, Airbnb believe this idea is more important than ever. These teachers understood the assignment by taking advantage of hosting on Airbnb, and guests are giving them A+’s all around. Make your home do the work this summer by signing up to Host on Airbnb. Every Host’s experience hosting is unique. Host booking numbers may vary widely depending on many factors, including availability, price, acceptance and cancellation rates, and the demand in the listing location. 1According to internal Airbnb data between January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 of Hosts who self-reported as teachers or professors. 2According to internal Airbnb data between June 1, 2022 and August 31, 2022 of Hosts who self-reported as teachers or professors. 3The number of self-identified teachers or professors who earned income by hosting from January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 compared to January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021. 4According to internal Airbnb data between January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 of Private Room Hosts who self-reported as teachers or professors.

In the fall of 2019 they bought their dream home, complete with a 'mother-in-law' unit in the basement. Following the pandemic, Katy and her husband decided to list their basement suite on Airbnb. Almost two years later, Katy has earned super host status with close to 300 5-star reviews and no plans to stop hosting anytime soon! Katy holds a Masters degree in education and is in her 16th year of teaching. She started her teaching career as a fourth grade teacher in Oregon before moving to Iowa in 2011. The extra income earned from hosting has allowed Katy to work part-time as an adjunct instructor at a local university, and also start her own tutoring business. When she's not teaching, Katy enjoys spending time with her family, exploring the outdoors, gardening, reading, and creating art. About Airbnb Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home and has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe.

Through Reified Labs, he and his team of scientists and engineers have collaborated with dozens of biotechs and medtechs to develop cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment tools for healthcare providers. In a statement on the collaboration, Dr. Wissner-Gross said that the potential applications of AI and digital signal processing “continues to present a promising opportunity for realizing key medical advances relating to disorders of the peripheral nervous system.” Past collaborations with Reified have already been fruitful for BioSig, resulting in published research on AI-enhanced ECG mapping and multiple patent applications. In fact, back in September of 2020, an abstract titled Computational Reconstruction of Electrocardiogram Lead Placement, co-authored by Dr. Alexander D. Wissner-Gross of Reified LLC and Dr. Suraj Kapa of the Mayo Clinic, et al., was published illustrating that the transformative potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning in healthcare is vast. To develop the platform, the companies will train the AI platform using electrocardiogram (ECG) ad intra-cardiac electrogram (IECG) data from BioSig’s patented PURE EP platform, which has already been used in over 3,000 procedures and featured in peer-reviewed clinical research. PURE EP is a breakthrough technology that captures cardiac signals while eliminating environmental noise for clearer, sharper data, even for the subtler or more complex signals that are easy to miss with conventional ECG and iECG tech. This has potentially helped make cardiac ablations — a procedure used to treat irregular heartbeats — faster and more precise. It’s provided similar benefits to other procedures as well as become a helpful tool in leading labs, including Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute and Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute. By training the AI on this precision signaling data along with additional healthcare datasets, the team hopes to develop more advanced electrophysiology tech for healthcare providers. Once trained, the AI could help with real-time data analysis and improve every stage of the clinical workflow. The resulting tech could then be integrated into PURE EP to add even more functionality to the platform. This post contains sponsored content.
