Rob Alverson Shares Insight into How He is Revolutionizing Nightlife with Mad Money ATMs

NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE / November 25, 2020 / Right now, in Nashville, Tennessee, one man is revolutionizing the city's nightlife scene and is on track to change the way fast money operates in cities nationwide. Rob Alverson is the founder of Mad Money ATMs, a company that provides Nashville businesses with ATMs at no charge to them. With the hope of expansion soon, Alverson is not only working to grow his own business but is also providing opportunities for growth to businesses all throughout the city of Nashville.

With Mad Money ATMs, businesses in Nashville are able to provide the option of an ATM to their customers without spending a dime. The process of these ATMs is set up so that people who use the ATM will also pay a small surcharge that goes to Mad Money ATMs. Alverson explained the company's process with the following example: "It's essentially recycling cash. Someone withdraws $20 from a machine and that $20 along with the surcharge fee gets sent to [Mad Money]," explains Alverson. The profits received by Alverson's company, then, is what is used to maintain already existing machines and keep up with the increased demand for new businesses.

Not only does Alverson enjoy the success he has been seeing with this company, but he also enjoys the value he can provide to other businesses. "Having an ATM in a business can allow them to go cash only or simply increase their foot traffic by having a machine," shared Alverson. "Also, I love the idea of passive income, essentially having our machines do the work for us." Operating in areas that see a high volume of people, Alverson's machines are usually found in bars and restaurants throughout Nashville's nightlife, but they are also found at gas stations, barbershops, and other small businesses.

Rob Alverson grew up in the city of Nashville and has had an affection for the city since he moved from Detroit as a child. With a knack for entrepreneurship, Alverson has pursued many different entrepreneurial ventures in his life to this point and, through trial and error, found success with Mad Money ATMs at age 25. "Be patient and consistent and understand it doesn't happen overnight. Step outside your comfort zone." These were the tips Alverson shared for how he stayed determined and dedicated to his career goals, but also what he recommends other aspiring entrepreneurs do.

Currently in the middle of the company's most successful year-to-date – during a global pandemic nonetheless – Alverson is expecting even better revenue in 2021 along with potential expansion outside of Nashville. Three years into his venture with Mad Money ATMs, Alverson has overcome rejection and his own self-doubt and replaced the negative energies in his life with a strong support system and a clear vision. Now, the young entrepreneur is poised to revolutionize small business nightlife nationwide.

Arcology Network Exploring Coin-Offering

ARCOLOGY NETWORK ACHIEVES MAJOR TECHNICAL MILESTONES TOWARD POTENTIAL COIN OFFERING

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 25, 2020 / Codebase Ventures Inc. ("Codebase" or the "Company") (CSE:CODE)(FSE:C5B)(OTCQB:BKLLF) is excited to announce that the Company's holding, Arcology, a cluster-computing powered AI blockchain ecosystem with unlimited scalability, is exploring a potential coin offering, following the results of its first Testnet where the Arcology team achieved major product development milestones.

A coin offering is a natural step to add to the Arcology roadmap based on the success of the first Arcology Testnet. Noting that scalability is single biggest obstacle of blockchain based systems, Arcology demonstrated significant capabilities on this front including:

Highly scalable: With a cluster of commodity computers Arcology has achieved very high results with 33,602 transactions per second (TPS) running complex smart contracts. (The TPS varies depends on number of machines used, the more the faster, which is a unique feature for Arcology. Preliminary results show TPS of 33,602 on a cluster of 12 machines running complex smart contracts, not simple money transfer)

Arcology withstood a very high workload for a prolonged period of time. Arcology has good stability.

The Smart contracts used in the test were written in native Solidity, which is the Ethereum programming language for developer applications on Ethereum network. Arcology has shown excellent compatibility with Ethereum.

"Arcology is designed as a platform for both public and private blockchains," says Arcology Founder and CEO, Mr. Laurent Zhang. Arcology's landscape consists of two independent and standalone platforms named Arcology Network (public) and Arcology Enterprise (private), which based on the same technology core. Arcology Network is a permission-less platform like Bitcoin or Ethereum, while Arcology Enterprise is targeting enterprise users requiring specific privacy features."

Arcology's coins are the native currency of the Arcology network, which mediate all the transactions happening on the platform. The Arcology coins serve some key roles for the network to work properly, including:

Users pay transaction fees for using the platform when the Mainnet is live.

Application developers would deploy their dAPPs on Arcology and earn a profit

Arcology coins would enable the holders to participate in the platform governance

The coin holders are entitled to take a certain percentage out of transaction fees

"As the Arcology team continues to push steadily on the technical side, we are investigating all aspects of a coin offering as a major step in our future," said Mr. Zhang. "Currently, on our roadmap, we are anticipating that the first coin offering would take place prior to the Mainnet going live in the coming months. We are investigating the most favourable approach, and considering all regulatory requirements toward an offering of between 5% – 10% of planned coins to eligible investors in the first coin offering."

u-blox Capital Markets Day

Reports increased business activity led by APAC region and automotive sector
No paradigm shift expected on long-term strategy and growth drivers; however near-term outlook impacted by uncertainty from Covid-19

THALWIL, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / November 25, 2020 / u-blox (SIX:UBXN)(OTCPINK:UBLXF), a global leader in wireless and positioning technologies, today is hosting its annual Capital Markets' Day for analysts and investors. As part of its business update, u-blox reports that it is observing increased activity across the company's segments and industries following the downturn experienced during the second and third quarters of 2020 due to the difficult Covid-19 environment. u-blox' business activities have rebounded most strongly in APAC where economies reopened earlier compared to other regions. The company also reports that the automotive sector, which was severely impacted by global production and business shutdowns, has exhibited resurgent activity and is a key driver leading the recent rebound of the company's performance. Monthly bookings of purchase orders have increased strongly each sequential month since May.

While recent developments are positive, there is still considerable uncertainty heading into 2021 given the mounting risks from the second wave of Covid-19 infections and ensuing lockdown situations worldwide. The company is focused on ensuring that it remains in a strong financial position and has instituted cost saving and efficiency measures totaling CHF 15 million annualized. R&D priorities and expenditures are being scrutinized in order to balance u-blox's technology leadership and innovation with free cash flow objectives.

Despite the present challenges posed by Covid-19, the company sees no paradigm shifts on the key megatrends driving the long-term strategy and growth perspectives and continues to focus on creating the next generation of wireless connectivity technology.

On the product side, in early November u-blox launched u-blox M10, its latest highly integrated GNSS (global navigation satellite system) platform which was fully designed in-house. With M10, u-blox sets a new benchmark in ultra-low power high performance positioning applications. The M10 is tailored to the needs of wearable and industrial applications, providing ultra-low power positioning performance without sacrificing accuracy and availability. It is ideal for a wide range of small battery-powered applications, including consumer sports watches and asset trackers for varied items such as shipping containers or livestock management. The enhanced capability of u-blox M10 is expected to fuel numerous innovative applications.

Outlook – Full Year 2020
u-blox previously withdrew its full-year 2020 guidance at its half-year 2020 reporting date due to lack of visibility. At this time, due to UK Takeover Code rules and the recent announcement of a possible offer for Telit Communications plc, we are currently unable to provide guidance for full year 2020. The company expects to be able to provide earnings guidance in the near future and will provide an update in due course.

Today's Capital Markets' Day Webcast will take place at 16.00 CET
u-blox is hosting today its Capital Markets' Day event for analysts and investors. Management will conduct a series of formal presentations, followed by a question and answer session. The slide presentation and webcast will be accessible via the Investors section of the company's website at https://www.u-blox.com/en/reporting-center#tab-presentations

Ovation Science Seeks Greater US Distribution as the Cannabis Market Continues to Grow

Amended US Licensing Agreement Allows for US Expansion

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / (CSE:OVAT)(OTC PINK:OVATF) – Ovation Science Inc. ("Ovation" or the "Company") announces that by mutual agreement its Licensing Agreement of November 10, 2017 with Lighthouse Strategies, LLC. ("Lighthouse") has been amended in order to facilitate Ovation's prospective expansion plans into additional states beyond Nevada in the US (the "Amendment"). Due to the continuing refinement of Ovation's business strategy for its cannabis products and because of Lighthouse's success in Nevada with Ovation's topical cannabis products, Lighthouse will focus its efforts on expanding its leadership in topicals in Nevada for a period of one year; renewable by mutual consent. In connection with the Amendment, Lighthouse will have the exclusive rights to Ovation's topical products containing THC and sold exclusively in Nevada dispensaries and the non-exclusive rights to Ovation's topical CBD products in Nevada only. Along with the previous terms of the Agreement, the Amendment specifies a Minimum Quarterly payment.

"The cannabis industry has evolved tremendously in the past three years when we first introduced Ovation's formulations into the US marketplace and notably even in the past two weeks following the US election." said Mr. Terry Howlett, President of Ovation. "We are focused on creating greater shareholder value and therefore are excited to now have the opportunity to seek additional licensees across the United States with this new Amendment in place. Our strategic growth plan is to secure multi-state operators through-out the US that have the infrastructure and marketing expertise in their regions to launch Ovation's CBD and THC topical products of which we have over 25 formulations developed including our beauty line ARLO CBD Beauty and our wellness line Invibe®MD. We have already proven the superiority of our products in Nevada with Lighthouse and believe this can be duplicated and expanded into other states." He added, "We also realize that there are Canadian and European companies that are seeking a foot-hold into the US market with science-based cannabis topical products and we will pursue those opportunities as well."

The recent changes to the cannabis market have highlighted greater opportunity for expanded US distribution of Ovation's patented topical and transdermal products. The pandemic has not slowed down overall cannabis sales, in fact, most US states and Canada showing record sales since the spring. (Sources: NewCannabisVentures.com, Sept 2020 "July Cannabis Sales Surge in 5 Western States" and Statista.com: www.statista.com/statistics/1045766/cannabis-store-sales-canada/). The election results showed that the legalization of marijuana continues to be widely accepted as shown by the recent unanimous approval of five more states legalizing medical or recreational marijuana (Arizona, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota). Additionally, there are over 90 bills in front of Congress including a comprehensive Democratic initiative called the More Act which could legalize cannabis federally. (TheFreshToast.com, Oct. 22, 2020: "Why The 2020 Election Could Change Everything For The Cannabis Industry".) This new legislation will be decidedly impactful for the cannabis industry with edibles and topicals standing to gain significantly from these changes to federal restrictions (Source: Happi.com 04.10.20 "MarketWatch: CBD Edibles & Topicals Expected to Gain Share of Cannabis Market").

Medical marijuana is now legal in 36 states plus the District of Columbia with 15 states having both medical and recreational cannabis approved. According to Statista.com, by 2024 retail sales of marijuana could reach as high as US$ 12 billion in sales, with medical marijuana sales expected to double. The CBD skin care market, one of markets where Ovation is position, is projected to reach US$959 million by 2024 (Source: Prohibition Partners: "The Impact Series: Disrupting Beauty.")

City Trees and State Flower Join Forces To Create a Limited Edition Wedding Cake Concentrate

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / CLS Holdings USA, Inc. (OTCQB:CLSH) (CSE:CLSH), the ''Company'' or ''CLS'', a diversified cannabis company operating as Cannabis Life Sciences, just announced the limited-edition collaboration between its branded division, City Trees, and State Flower, a renowned cannabis cultivator with distribution and cultivation operations in San Francisco and Las Vegas.

The two sustainability-minded brands make a perfect pair for this collaborative project. With City Trees' commitment to recyclable packaging and environmental stewardship and State Flower's complementary ethos, featuring Environcann certified cultivation practices, the two companies have come together to produce a concentrate that is both mindful of the planet and of the highest quality.

The selected strain, Wedding Cake, was chosen for this collaboration for its longstanding popularity across multiple markets. Further, the robust resin production of this strain creates higher yields during the extraction process, and the distinct strains crossed to produce this cultivar create a full-bodied, unique aroma and terpene profile that is highly desirable in the cannabis industry. This collaboration project represents the first live resin – produced from fresh plant material rather than dried and cured material – interpretation of this highly sought after strain as presented by State Flower.

Through a carefully curated Vendor Qualification process, City Trees and State Flower elected to collaborate in a joint effort to represent the unique expertise presented by both organizations, while embracing their shared focus on sustainability and quality. Combining forces offered an opportunity for both organizations to showcase the best of what they offer in one product. This collaboration represents the first co-branded offering from City Trees as it looks to expand and refine its concentrate division – a category in which City Trees has seen over 115% growth in unit sales year-over-year through September 2020.

While this project is the first fully co-branded concentrate released from the City Trees laboratory, the brand has now produced extraction products in coordination with multiple renowned cultivators in the Nevada cannabis market through its toll processing services. CLS, through its City Trees division, continues to forge strong partnerships with its peers in pursuit of its mission to produce the highest quality, cleanest extraction products available in the cannabis industry.

Planet 13 Announces Record Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Planet 13 Holdings Inc.

Planet 13's financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

Larry Scheffler, Co-CEO of Planet 13 said, "Our performance in the third quarter exceeded expectations – leading to our highest quarter of sales ever. Despite being impacted by the ongoing global pandemic and our Las Vegas SuperStore only at 50% capacity, we achieved 36% higher revenue compared to pre-COVID quarters. This is a testament to the strength of Planet 13's business model and the success of the operational improvements we put in place to ensure our ability to serve local customers. As Las Vegas returns to normal and the economy recovers, we will undertake further strategic initiatives to grow revenue at the SuperStore and increase our sales to local customers in Las Vegas."

"In the third quarter, our in-house brands contributed 25% to SuperStore revenue – continuing to be one of the most recognized and fastest-growing segments within the Planet 13 portfolio. In the wholesale market we saw increasing sales month over month throughout the quarter and continuing into October. Building on this momentum, we continue to invest in cultivation with our recently announced acquisition of a 45,000 square foot facility in Las Vegas, better positioning us to supply wholesale and retail sales within the state," commented Bob Groesbeck, Co-CEO. "We are excited to leverage our knowledge and experience from Nevada to California, with the opening of our new dispensary in Santa Ana in 2021 – the world's second largest dispensary. Planet 13 is well capitalized, and we look forward to executing on future expansion into other major growth markets."

Financial Measures

There are measures included in this news release that do not have a standardized meaning under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures and metrics presented by other publicly traded companies. The Company includes these measures because it believes certain investors use these measures and metrics as a means of assessing financial performance. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is calculated as net earnings before finance costs (net of finance income), income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization of intangibles and is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
