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

Artificial Intelligence In Healthcare: A Potentially Strong Opportunity For BioSig Technologies (NASDAQ: BSGM)?

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM) announced a new collaboration agreement in June with Reified Labs, a technical advisory service specializing in advanced artificial intelligence (AI). Together, BioSig and Reified will research and develop an AI medical device platform with the potential to transform the way doctors treat a range of common health problems from heart arrhythmias to peripheral nerve disorders like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or nerve damage. An AI Medical Device Platform Built On Cutting Edge Research Reified Labs is headed by Dr. Alexander D. Wissner-Gross, one of the advisory firm’s founders and a Harvard- and MIT-trained computer scientist, physicist, investor and entrepreneur. Dr. Wissner-Gross has spent decades researching AI, machine learning, and its applications in healthcare. 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.

Development Of Uranium, Copper And Nickel Resources Is Critical To The Transition To Clean Energy – Sprott’s ETFs Plan To Ride The Forecasted Growth

Benzinga

By David Willey, Benzinga The transition towards low-carbon, clean energy solutions is continuing to pick up pace, and with it, the demand for critical minerals is projected to continue increasing. Critical minerals are the natural resources necessary to generate, transmit and store low-carbon energy. Modern forms of clean energy, such as battery, wind, solar and nuclear all depend upon a steady supply of these critical minerals. To meet goals for lowering carbon emissions, governments and corporations have invested a historic $1.1 trillion into the transition to renewable energy sources. However, estimates say the figure needs to triple to meet net-zero targets. One concern with the transition is whether the supply of critical minerals will be able to keep up with the rapidly increasing demand. Copper, for example, is a critical mineral that is involved in almost every type of clean energy. One projection shows the energy transition demand for copper going from today’s demand of 5 million metric tons (MTs) to 50 million MTs by 2050, with demand expected to drive the commodity’s price up. It is currently worth about $8,500 per MT, however, the global head of commodities at Goldman Sachs expects the price to reach $10,000 in the short term and $15,000 in the longer term. That is one of a number of reasons why Sprott Asset Management, a subsidiary of Sprott Inc. (NYSE: SII), recently launched a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for critical minerals. Sprott Asset Management offers some of the only pure-play ETFs for critical minerals, including the Sprott Energy Transition Materials ETF (NASDAQ: SETM) and the Sprott Lithium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: LITP). One of its ETFs is the Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ: COPJ). It is the only pure-play ETF for small copper miners, and it currently has 39 holdings for $2.51 million in assets. Sprott’s ETFs In Uranium And Nickel Another of Sprott’s ETFs is the Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: URNJ). The company believes uranium is currently in a bull market, with the two previous uranium bull markets occurring in the 1970s and the early 2000s respectively. Investment is pouring into this sector, with 58 nuclear plants currently under construction globally and another 104 plants in the planning stage. URNJ has 32 holdings and $33.1 million in assets. The ETF is focused on tracking the growth of mid-, small- and micro-cap companies involved in uranium mining. A third ETF is the Sprott Nickel Miners ETF (NASDAQ: NIKL). Nickel is an important mineral with a range of uses in clean energy, including in electric vehicles (EVs), battery storage and additional infrastructure. Demand for this critical mineral may increase almost 20-fold between 2020 and 2040 as further uses are found for nickel within the clean energy space. Sprott reports taking advantage of the forecasted growth with its NIKL ETF, the only US-listed ETF with a pure-play focus on nickel mining companies. NIKL has 24 holdings and has $1 million in assets. The ETF tracks companies involved in producing, developing and exploring nickel. For more in-depth coverage of Sprott Asset Management’s ETFs and their role in the transition to clean energy, read this article and this article. Learn more about Sprott ETFs on its website.

Government Regulations, TikTok Fears, Cyber Hacks: Sekur Private Data Ltd. Helps Companies Find Privacy And Security Compliance In An Online World

Benzinga

By David Willey, Benzinga Alain Ghiai, CEO of the cybersecurity and internet privacy company Sekur Private Data Ltd (OTCQB: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FSE: GDT0), was recently interviewed by Ana Berry on the business news show “New To The Street. ” Ghiai spoke about how his data privacy company helps companies find private and secure messaging and communication solutions. The government has been enforcing privacy regulations against certain companies that allowed messaging on non-secure messaging apps. Last year, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued fines totaling close to $1 billion to several banks for allowing their employees to use unauthorized services like private email and Whatsapp for sending banking information. Security concerns also led the government to ban the use of Tiktok on all federal devices. This is driven by fears that user data collected on the app is shared with the Chinese government. Bans have also been introduced or planned by some state governments, as well as several public universities. Data Safety And Privacy With Sekur Sekur actively helps companies satisfy government regulations as well as prioritize data privacy and security. Its suite of privacy solutions includes the SekurMail and SekurMessenger services for encrypted, secure communication. SekurMail is a military-grade, encrypted platform featuring a SekurSend/Reply function that allows users who don’t have Sekur to reply within the Sekur environment. SekurMessenger provides users with a secure Short Messaging Service (SMS) platform that is available in 80 countries for its “Chat-by-Invite” feature, letting Sekur users message non-Sekur users in SekurMessenger simply by clicking on a link sent by SMS or email. SekurMessenger includes a self-delete feature, as well as an archiving feature, an essential option for financial institutions that are required to keep records of all e-communication for seven to 10 years. It also launched its own Virtual Private Network (VPN) service, SekurVPN, to address the large market need for a trustworthy, turnkey data security service. These privacy solutions may be particularly attractive to companies looking to prioritize data security. Cyber attacks and hacks are increasingly common, and the cost of the damage from these attacks will have reached over $10 trillion by 2025. By locating its servers in Switzerland, Sekur can take advantage of the tough Swiss data privacy laws. Ghiai told Berry that users who signed up with the code PRIVACY will get a 15% discount on their monthly or annual subscription to Sekur’s products. This offer is good for five years for uninterrupted subscriptions. Sekur customers who bundle multiple Sekur services will also get a discount on their purchases, and the company reports that this is a popular choice among its subscribers. In a recent statement, Ghiai commented that “Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone, and, as we are not connected to any Big Tech cloud platform, we offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining.” Learn more about Sekur and check out its privacy solutions today.
