Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") should not be construed as alternatives to comprehensive loss or income determined in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and, therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company defines EBITDA as IFRS net loss excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes that EBITDA is a meaningful financial metric as it measures cash generated from operations which the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives.

Zearn

The Tennessee Department of Education announced the Official List of Textbooks and Instructional Materials for mathematics. Through an intensive review by the Textbook and Instructional Materials Quality Commission, Zearn was selected and is the only nonprofit curriculum publisher solely dedicated to K-8 math learning. Materials on this list are approved for use by districts from 2023-2029. Zearn Math for Tennessee is a blended K-8 curriculum that offers a comprehensive suite of digital and print materials. Statewide, districts can select from the list of instructional materials that is best suited for their teachers and students. “At Zearn, we believe all kids are math kids, and our aim is to complement the work of great teachers,” said Shalinee Sharma, CEO and co-founder of Zearn. “We developed Zearn Math for Tennessee to support teachers to ensure every student develops a deep understanding of math.” Before this adoption, in 2021, Zearn Math was used – from urban counties like Hamilton to the more rural ones like Sullivan – as a digital complement to core instruction. In fact, more than 12,000 Tennessee teachers and 2,000 Tennessee parents utilized Zearn in support of 1 in 6 elementary-school students statewide. Additionally, in 2022, Zearn Math was selected through a competitive process to provide math learning content and real-time, progress monitoring for districts participating in the TN ALL Corps. The TN All Corps is a nationally recognized tutoring model endorsed by the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University. “When Zearn Math was being used as a digital complement, we felt honored that more than 90% of Tennessee teachers who use Zearn said they would recommend it to another teacher,” Sharma said. “We are equally honored to have been selected by the Textbook and Instructional Materials Quality Commission, which is composed of school leaders, teachers, librarians and residents, all of whom have a stake in student math learning.” Zearn shows promising evidence to accelerate student learning at scale. In statewide analyses, students who use Zearn grew math scores 2.5 times more than matched students who didn't use Zearn. Consistent Zearn usage also resulted in double digit proficiency gains across student subgroups.

Minuteman Press Florida Franchise Owners Celebrate 15-plus Years in Business

Minuteman Press International Inc

Minuteman Press International is proud to acknowledge the following franchisees in Florida who are celebrating 15 years in business. Below you will find their insights on owning a business as well as their advice to other aspiring entrepreneurs and Minuteman Press franchise owners. Kathy Collier Alford Minuteman Press, Town ‘n’ Country, FL “I am not sure where 15 years has gone. Before I opened my shop in November 2007, I was in retail management for 25 years opening new markets all over the country. When I decided to do something different, all I knew is that I wanted to work for myself. Minuteman Press was in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 and looked interesting. My brother originally brought Minuteman Press to my attention as I would have never thought about owning a print shop because I did not know anything about the industry. We contacted the Florida Regional VP, went on a few shop tours, and here I am 15 years later! In the beginning, Minuteman Press has a system for growing your business, and I followed it. You must get plugged in! I did not even know what networking meant. I joined and visited various local groups and met so many people in the beginning that I still print for today. I joined a Chamber of Commerce; I got involved in philanthropy groups that I never had time for in my corporate life. I got involved in the community around my shop, and all of these experiences have been super rewarding. I would never have thought that owning my own printing franchise could help me grow as a person. I learned about all of these amazing things that I did not even know were going on, and I feel super blessed. Minuteman Press also has systems in place to help with pricing and growing my customer base. The Minuteman Press FLEX software has helped tremendously; FLEX has taken us to a whole new level of technology, pricing, emailing, invoicing, etc. If I was to dole out any advice to a new owner it would be to: Teach your staff customer service and treat them right; you cannot do this alone (they are part of my family) Get to know your neighborhood, join groups, and get involved Do the things that have worked that Minuteman Press has already proven can work Build relationships and customer referrals (referrals are the best compliments you can get) Use SEO to your advantage Work hard and you will earn it!” Ken & Lisa Rose Minuteman Press, Clermont, FL Ken Rose is the former Co-Director of Training for Minuteman Press International. Ken and his wife Lisa moved to Florida and from Long Island and they have now owned Minuteman Press in Clermont for 15+ years. Ken shares the following advice that carried over from his time at Minuteman Press International that has helped him achieve success and longevity over the years as a Minuteman Press franchisee: No matter what is going on, you have to have a positive attitude Plan your day the night before and arrive early Do what you say you’re going to do, and do it (Roy Titus, co-founder, Minuteman Press International) Be proud of what you do & always tell people who you are & what you do (Roy Titus) Be active in the community through clubs and organizations, and be visible Pay yourself a fair wage (Roy Titus) Jeff Reich Minuteman Press, Cape Coral, FL Jeff Reich has been the owner of Minuteman Press in Cape Coral, FL for 15+ years. Short and sweet, the advice Jeff shares is as follows: Understand your customers' expectations and exceed them Be persistent Deliver great quality In congratulating these owners, Florida Regional Vice President Larry Trimble says, “I am thrilled to be able to celebrate these impressive milestones with Kathy, Ken & Lisa, and Jeff as well as all of the incredible Minuteman Press franchisees across Florida who have achieved such accomplishments. It is a pleasure to be able to support them with their businesses and I look forward to continuing to do so.” For more information on #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and to see more Minuteman Press franchise reviews, visit https://minutemanpressfranchise.com.

With Labor Market Still A Concern, Are There Endless Opportunities In The Online Learning Market For This Burgeoning AI Company?

Amesite Inc.

Learn More about Amesite Inc. by gaining access to the latest research report Many organizations are struggling with the digital transformation efforts they have begun, according to David Rogers, a professor at Columbia Business School in New York City. While the reasons vary, the most common is that there is a talent and skill shortage. While upskilling could be the solution, not many organizations prioritize it. As PA Consulting Chief Research Officer Charlene Li says in the “Digital Transformation Refocused: New Goals Require New Strategies” report published by Harvard Business Review, not enough businesses focus on the transformation part of digital transformation, which is about people. Bridging the Gap With Ed-Tech? Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST) is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software company providing cloud-based learning and content creation ecosystems for educational institutions, businesses and organizations. Amesite recently launched Version 5 (V5) of its AI-driven online learning platform. The upgraded version was built for scale-ability to deliver to large user bases with features that lead the industry. V5 also offers the capability to integrate the platform with other software programs and partner sites seamlessly. Amesite’s V5 platform equips customers with a holistic learning ecosystem and offers capabilities from an e-commerce solution to auto-enrollment of users to streamlined deployment in just 24 hours. The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics says there are more than 65,000 medium and large companies. With the current skill and talent shortage, most of these organizations could be looking to onboard, train and upskill a large number of their employees. Amesite says its V5 platform is scalable and capable of meeting the needs of over 65,000 customers. The launch of V5 is part of Amesite’s long-term goal of becoming a leader in the e-learning space alongside players such Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR) and 2U Inc. (NASDAQ: TWOU). The global e-learning market was valued at $215 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2028. With V5, Amesite also aims to help with workplace training both in the U.S. and globally. The U.S. workplace training industry had a market value of $165 billion in 2020, according to Statista. Global Market Insights reports that by 2028 the industry is projected to reach $1 trillion. Partnership Deals Amesite has had a number of collaborations and its partnership with Wayne State University’s College of Engineering is a proof point that Amesite is building systems that retain customers – and enable them to scale. The company announced the expansion of its partnership with the university, which will integrate its V5 e-commerce solution into its system. The new development will enable learners to register, pay and enroll for courses directly on the university’s website, increasing the accessibility and engagement of Wayne State University’s nearly 30,000 engineering alumni and hundreds of thousands of other professionals. Amesite says its platform will help Wayne State and other partnering universities scale globally, by delivering tailor-made programs suited for their learners. By offering on their own brands, universities can use Amesite’s solutions to leverage their strengths, rather than compete their products against other universities’ offerings on common sites. The results speak for themselves considering that Wayne State reports 98% retention across its Amesite-powered programs in the three years it has worked with the company. Amesite also highlighted the platform’s capabilities and recently reported on the successful delivery of a “Full Scale, Global Enterprise Learning Solution” for the EWIE Group of Companies (EGC) in a press release and case study. “We know that people are our most important resource. Having people with the most advanced skills is a huge competitive advantage for us,” said Jay Mullick, President of EWIE Group of Companies. “Amesite is at the center of all our business process training at EGC. We have appreciated the support of their team throughout the relationship. Using Amesite’s global upskilling technology platform enables our people to gain the know-how to meet our most demanding customers’ needs, quickly and efficiently.” For Amesite, the market potential looks significant and promising because of the many thousands of educational institutions, organizations and businesses seeking the type of services the company offers. The company’s list of recent achievements also includes winning an exclusive partnership with NAFEO, a national membership organization that represents 106 HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities ). With this partnership, the Company is targeting $10M in revenue, by raising support for NAFEO to launch partnerships with its member Colleges and Universities — this represents a massive opportunity with a large group of educational institutions in its own right and could point toward further success for additional significant partnerships. NAFEO members enroll more than 700,000 students, they have 72,000 faculty, and 7 million alumni worldwide.

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology Produces 'Change Makers'

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

The next generation of mental health professionals - some 275 “change makers” were awarded master’s and doctoral degrees last Friday at two commencement ceremonies for the Washington, DC campus of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. The graduates enter a profession dealing with severe shortages at a time when experts say as many as one-in-five people in this country suffer from a mental disorder, and only half of those who need help can get it. In addressing the graduates, Dr. Michele Nealon, Psy.D. President of The Chicago School, said “I hope that your time as a Chicago School student has lit a fire within you – a fire to provide empathetic support for those in need. I urge you to follow your passion for service as far as you can and to light the way for others.” Joining Dr. Nealon in awarding diplomas was Dr. Donald Schultz, Ph.D, Chief Academic Officer of The Chicago School and Dr. Thelma Day, Ph.D., recipient of an honorary degree for her contributions as a counselor-educator, organizational leader and college professor. One of two student speakers was Dr. Akshaya Parthasarathi, Ph.D., a data analyst at the federal Office of Minorities and Women Inclusion, tasked by the U.S. Congress to develop policies to ensure equitable treatment of all by the nation’s financial institutions. She shared her story as an international student who is grateful to her professors and fellow students. “What looked like a distant dream for a girl from India, to study abroad in an institution like this, was made possible because of each of you. Accepting me as I am--allowing me to be different--has let me grow into a global citizen with varied experiences and stories in my pocket,” she said. “My goal is to share these experiences with people of the world, to show the power of community, and the success one can achieve when people let you be you.” Another student speaker, Dr. Bethany Patterson, Ph.D., serves as clinical director at Helianthus Positive Behavior Supports, provider of counseling services to children and families in Virginia and North Carolina. She told her story, as she sought an institution that would support her role as a military spouse and mother of three. “I needed a school that was supportive and respectful of the military lifestyle because I had unique needs,” she said. “I found a place where the learning environment is optimized by active learners with diverse cultures,” she said. “Today I embody The Chicago School’s values of innovation, service, and community-- I am giving back by creating a space to encourage other military spouses to further their education.” The Chicago School serves a majority minority student body in which two of three students identify as individuals of color. The 43-year old non-profit institution has more than 6,000 students enrolled in 30 degree and certificate programs. About The Chicago School of Professional Psychology: Integrating theory with hands-on experience, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology provides education rooted in a commitment to innovation, service, and community for thousands of diverse students across the United States and globally. Founded in 1979, the nonprofit, regionally accredited university now features campuses in iconic locations across the country (Chicago, Southern California, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Dallas) and online. To spark positive change in the world where it matters most, The Chicago School has continued to expand its educational offerings beyond the field of psychology to offer more than 30 degrees and certificates in the professional fields of health services, education, counseling, business, and more. Through its engaged professional model of education, commitment to diversity and inclusion, and an extensive network of domestic and international professional partnerships, The Chicago School’s students receive real-world training opportunities that reflect their future careers. The Chicago School is proud to be a part of TCS Education System, a nonprofit, integrated system of colleges and universities that works collaboratively to advance student success and community impact.

THE INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AT UNION INSTITUTE & UNIVERSITY SENDS OUT CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ONEJUSTWORLD AWARDS

The Institute for Social Justice

The Institute for Social Justice (TISJ) at Union Institute & University recently launched OneJustWorld.org, an online community that seeks to mobilize individual and group action for measurable impact. Today TISJ announces a call for nominations for the OneJustWorld Awards. Award winners will be announced in February in conjunction with the World Day of Social Justice. This will be the first year of these awards, which will recognize and honor those who have demonstrated their leadership and commitment to putting social justice into action in the areas of education, economics, environment, health, safety, and social impact. Anyone can submit a nomination to recognize individuals and organizations that have made a measurable and meaningful contribution. Nominations can be made online here. “There are amazing people out there doing amazing work,” said Betsy Martin, TISJ Executive Director. “The OneJustWorld awards are to honor and recognize the courage and persistence of changemakers across multiple areas of society. In order to achieve our goal of a more just world, action must be taken in every community; including workplaces, organizations, and neighborhoods. In addition to the awards, OneJustWorld is helping to facilitate the pursuit of social justice through community action by setting up regional Community Action Councils across the country to identify and bring together as many current and aspiring leaders and changemakers as possible. These awards and Action Councils are ways that TISJ can support change leaders, honor them, and celebrate voices with impact.” While much of the interaction with OneJustWorld.org is online, reaching communities in-person is equally important. Community Action Councils (ACs) are being organized in four regions: South, West, Northwest, and Midwest/East. The first four meeting cities will be selected as the launching point for their region and anyone interested in becoming an Action Council member outside of the designated city, but within the region are also invited to join in on the city’s initial meeting. Meetings will be offered both in-person, at Union Institute & University Centers, and on Zoom. The first meeting will be on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 in Cincinnati Ohio for the Midwest and East regions. Hollywood Florida will kick off the South region. Los Angeles California will host the Southwest and Sacramento California, the Northwest. These meeting dates are listed on the website. Another way to add your perspective to the community is through OneJustWorld’s “Share My Voice” campaign. Community members are invited to listen to and share the stories and voices regarding all aspects of social justice: What have been your challenges or how have you put social justice into action? Who has inspired you or what have you done to inspire others? What does one just world look like to you? OneJustWorld would like everyone to “Share Your Voice.” Adding your voice via “Share Your Voice” is quick and easy. Simply go to the website and set up an account using your email address. Once you’re logged in, add your voice by entering your response in the box below “What Does One Just World Look Like to You?” You can type in a response and also share images or video.

Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV:VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") announced on October 13, 2022 that it has signed an arm's length definitive agreement dated Oct 12, 2022, to acquire Alberta-based Synergy Aviation Ltd. This acquisition will solidify Volatus’ position in Western Canada providing privileged access to much of the oil and gas industry. Synergy’s leadership in the sector combined with Volatus’ drone technology solutions will positionthe Company with a strong competitive advantage to introduce innovative, efficient, green, remotely operated drone solutions to fulfill regulatory and asset monitoring requirements. Founded in Alberta in 2014, SynergyAviation is an industry leaderin aerial surveillance, pipeline integrity monitoring, and specialized geomatics, patrolling and inspecting more than 500,000 KM of pipeline right of way stretching from the coast of British Columbia to the Manitoba/US border. The company provides Canada’s largest oil & gas producers and pipeline operators with uninterrupted, consistent and highly detailed right-of-way integrity data. “Pipeline inspection, much like other long linear inspection requirements, has traditionally been completed using crewed helicopters and small fixed wing aircraft,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “Leveraging Synergy’s oil & gas presence combined with our existing pipeline operations in Ontario will allow us to introduce the power of innovative drone solutions to meet regulatory compliance and asset management requirements with improved efficiencies and a material reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.” There are nearly 5 million kilometers of oil & gas pipelinein North America requiring annual inspections and, in many cases, weekly patrols to meet regulatory and asset management requirements,” said Todd Tkach,President of SynergyAviation. “Becoming part of Volatusgives us the added geomatics capabilities, market reach, and the opportunity to disrupt traditional methods in this sector. Synergy recorded unaudited revenues of $7 million with a 14% EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) during the first nine months of 2022 and is targeting year end revenuesof $9 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Volatus will make an equity investment of $2.29 million in Synergy Aviation over the course of 10 months from closing in exchange for newly issued shares that will represent 51% of all outstanding shares. The investment will be used by Synergy for ongoing expansion activities. The transaction is scheduled to close on October 31 st conditional on satisfactory completion of due diligence, approval of the respective Board of Directors, and regulatory approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. Subject to operational and financial metric as defined in the definitive agreement, the Synergyinvestors will have an option,expiring in December2024, to sell the remaining 49% equity to Volatus at the same valuation at Closing in exchange of Volatus shares based on 30 days VWAP (volume weighted average price) on date of Closing with a minimum floor price of $0.65 per share and maximum. The total maximum cash value of the shares if all shareholder shares are converted will be$2,205,000. This announcement marks another step in a series of interrelated technology, regulatory, and commercial milestones intended to drive and scale the commercialization of drone technologies. Recent announcements include the launch of the Aerieport drone nesting station, regulatory authority to remotely operate a drone at an airport, the remote operation of drones in Las Vegas from our operations center 3,000 km away, and most recently, a collaboration agreement with Accipiter Radar to provide for larger scale deconfliction between drones and low flying aircraft.
