BetterU Education Corp. $BTRU.ca – PayPal $PYPL enters India’s $215 B education market #edtech via online platforms $ARCL $CPLA $BPI $FC.ca

PayPal enters India’s $215 B education market via online platforms

  • One of the world’s largest online payment companies, PayPal, is now integrating its services with Indian online education platforms.
  • The US-based company has been active in India since 2008 in the cross-border payments business.

One of the world’s largest online payment companies, PayPal, is now integrating its services with Indian online education platforms. The US-based company has been active in India since 2008 in the cross-border payments business. In 2017, PayPal launched its domestic operations in India. In April last year, PayPal went live for consumers of (domestic) online retail in India. Today PayPal works closely with companies like MakeMyTrip, Freshmenu, etc.

Among the verticals that PayPal has specialised in globally is education, a market worth $215 billion in India.

According to PayPal’s statistics, for 218 million students India has only two million teachers; a ratio of 140:1. More than two million students are already paying online for education, and this is expected to reach 10 million by 2021.

Currently, a large number of parents who lead busy lives, find it difficult to keep up with the simplest of tasks such as paying school fees – just because the options to make these payments are few. Schools are now open to bank transfers, but there is scope to further simplify the experience of the parent. This is where PayPal makes its entry.

Increasing reach of ed-tech platforms

Government initiatives like Digital India and SWAYAM have been trying to enable online education by offering courses free of cost for children as well as adults. There is increased awareness since many (private) players are entering the space, following different models.

For instance, startups like UpGrad, Edureka, Unacademy, and Udacity, focus on online test preparation. Simplilearn and GreatLearning aim to upskill professionals. Startup unicorn BJYU’s, as well as Vedantu and Toppr, target students from 5th-12th grades. Needless to say, these platforms offer a huge clientele for PayPal, which is already present on some of them.

Narsi Subramaniam, Director, Growth, Paypal India.

The average ticket size for transactions on PayPal in the Indian education sector is $20-50. The KYC process on Paypal is done on the website itself (with no physical visits) and is approved in 24 hours provided it meets requirements.

In a chat with YourStory, Narsi Subramaniam, Director, Growth, PayPal India, said that PayPal is generally agnostic to business models.

“We are just enabling payment. We partner with them for solving problems like multiple parties (like parents/students, tutors, schools etc.) being involved in using their website/app for payments, invoicing their payment options, and making the commission process (from the online platform) easier,” he added. 

Enabling multiple platforms

The entry into ed-tech industry was only a matter of time for PayPal, as there is growing acceptance of technology in simplifying the overall experience of education.

Narsi claims that users of online certificates and test preparation using PayPal have already grown on its existing platforms.

PayPal claims to take care of the end-to-end payment management. It is now focusing on the following:

1.    Primary and secondary schools, since CBSE is encouraging schools to go cashless

2.    Online platforms assisting in preparation for tests like GME, GRE, CAT etc.

3.    Reskilling courses for working professionals (already contributes to 40 percent of overall volume on transactions enabled by PayPal)

4.    Higher education (both online and offline platforms)

5.    Casual learning for music, dance, yoga

Narsi added that PayPal has enabled invoicing capabilities for small institutions as well, so that they can send the relevant link to parents and minimise the process. He asserted that this is a great opportunity for tutors who are now onboarding online platforms, as the quantity and quality of online players is increasing. “Online tutorials can go global easily. Four out of ten online math tutors are from India,” he pointed out. 

Since PayPal enjoys familiarity among its target audience, thanks to the brand value, the move into education sector could be a win-win situation for both parties.

Palladium To Hit $2,000 In 2019 – Bank of America

Neils Christensen Thursday March 07, 2019 11:02

  • analysts added that they see prices rising as high as $2,000 an ounce.
  • June palladium futures last traded at $1,473.40 an ounce

(Kitco News) – Renewed strength in the U.S. dollar, trading near a three-week high, is weighing on the entire precious metals market but that won’t be enough to stop the long-term uptrend in palladium, one bank says.

The precious metal has fallen from its record highs above $1,500 an ounce, but analysts at Bank of American Merrill Lynch (BoAML) said that it still has plenty of opportunities to move higher. The bank is lifting its price forecast this year, saying it sees the metal averaging $1,800 an ounce, a 22% increase from its previous estimate.

The analysts added that they see prices rising as high as $2,000 an ounce. June palladium futures last traded at $1,473.40 an ounce, down 0.87% on the day.

“In our view, palladium is firmly supported by fundamentals on the physical market,” the analysts said.

The bank said that prices will rise as inelastic demand is coming to a head with inelastic supply.

“For years, this has not been an issue, but persistent inventory declines have increasingly raised apprehension over the availability of the precious metal,” the analysts said. “Inelastic supply and demand, combined with market deficits, meant that there was no price at which the market would have cleared.”

While supply continues to tighten, the analysts at BoAML said that they don’t see demand shifting anytime soon as automakers continue to focus on reducing emissions. Palladium is a critical component in catalytic converters in cars with gasoline engines.

The analysts said although higher prices could force some automakers to substitute palladium with cheaper platinum, they don’t see it happening en masse. Quoting industry research, the analysts said that palladium is slightly more effective compared to platinum.

“We understand that car producers will at least for another 12 month retain the immediate focus on emissions, rather than reducing palladium costs,” the analysts said. “This implies that demand will likely remain supported, even when factoring in the recent underperformance of global auto sales.”Source: https://www.kitco.com/news/2019-03-07/Palladium-To-Hit-2-000-In-2019-Bank-of-America.html

Global Native Advertising Market Set to Be Worth over $400 Billion by 2025

  • Analysis of overall digital ad spend growth, combined with native advertising trends per market, globally, has revealed that native advertising spend is expected to increase by 372% from 2020 to 2025.
  • This represents an increase in the native advertising market from $85.83 Billion in 2020 to a total global value of $402 Billion by 2025.

ADYOULIKE, the leading in-feed Native Advertising technology, has released in-depth research forecasting the global growth of the native advertising market to 2025.

Analysis of overall digital ad spend growth, combined with native advertising trends per market, globally, has revealed that native advertising spend is expected to increase by 372% from 2020 to 2025. This represents an increase in the native advertising market from $85.83 Billion in 2020 to a total global value of $402 Billion by 2025.

The US will continue to be the biggest native advertising market by 2025, up from $29.56 Billion in 2020, to $139.5 Billion by 2025. The market in Western Europe is predicted to grow to be worth $92.37 Billion by 2025, with the UK, Germany and France predicted to be the biggest native advertising markets. The UK market will be the largest native advertising market in Europe, estimated to grow from $5.81 Billion in 2020 to $27.42 Billion by 2025. Meanwhile Germany will increase from $4.43 Billion to $20.90Bn by 2025. France will increase from $2.03Bn in 2020 to an estimated global value of $9.58 Billion by 2025.

Central to the growth in advertising spend on native up to 2025 is the proliferation of infeed native, often referred to as native display, which will continue to be driven over the coming years by programmatic native and wider use of outstream native video advertising formats.

Marketing Technology News: Experian Finds More Than a Third of Companies Are Still Unprepared to Respond to a Data Breach

This form of native advertising, with strong mobile, programmatic and video distribution credentials is anticipated to continue to drive native advertising growth in the years to come. According to eMarketer, two-thirds of all programmatic ad dollars will go to mobile, not desktop ads, by 2020. In addition, 83.6% of all digital video ad dollars in the US, will move via automated channels in the next twelve months. These major trends in digital advertising buying habits augur well for all things native.

Marketing Technology News: Shift Technology Lands $60 Million in C-Round

Julien Verdier, CEO, ADYOULIKE, comments;

“We are entering a new phase in native advertising’s journey – universal acceptance and global domination. Our research shows major increases in native advertising spend in all continent’s globally. The value of infeed native advertising formats is now undisputed. Advertisers are increasingly recognising the value of the format and the performance for most campaigns backs out, which is why native is predicted to experience significant annual growth rates every year globally up to 2025.

“Thanks to continued technical innovation, easily traded programmatically, with video and display capabilities, the future is strong for native ads in general. Native advertising will be the number one digital advertising format of the 2020s. Our research and wider market trends back this up. We are excited to share with the market our findings.”

#ZeU to Provide RNG & #Blockchain Technologies to Gaming Operator $SX.ca $SXOOF

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:43 PM on Friday, March 8th, 2019
  • Announced that its subsidiary, ZeU Crypto Networks Inc., has agreed to provide its patent pending Blockchain Random Number Generator and other related blockchain technologies to St. James House PLC (LSE:SJH),
  • A UK licensed gaming operator, formerly known as BoxHill Technologies, by way of Joint-Venture for the establishment of a blockchain lottery.

Montreal, Quebec / March 8, 2019 – St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, ZeU Crypto Networks Inc., has agreed to provide its patent pending Blockchain Random Number Generator and other related blockchain technologies to St. James House PLC (LSE:SJH), a UK licensed gaming operator, formerly known as BoxHill Technologies, by way of Joint-Venture for the establishment of a blockchain lottery.

Lottery Joint Venture

The binding term sheet entered by the main parties is subject to a definitive contract. The agreement calls for the establishment of a new lottery joint venture with its main license in Malta. The Company’s partner and license operator in this joint venture is St-James House PLC (LSE: SJH).

The Lottery JV will be established as a new company in Malta and will combine St-James’ expertise in regulated lottery management and administration with ZeU’s innovative blockchain-based technology.

St-James House who will act as the lottery operator, will hold a 45% equity interest in the Lottery JV and the other shareholders will be ZeU with 19.9%, St-Georges with 19.9% and the balance with independent investors.

All technology operating costs of the Lottery JV will be met by ZeU and in return, ZeU will charge a service fee that will not exceed 90% of the revenues from the Lottery JV. Profits generated by the Lottery JV will be distributed as a dividend to the shareholders, i.e. ZeU and St-Georges will each receive 19.9% of the expected profits of the Lottery JV by way of a dividend. St. James House will appoint three directors to the Lottery JV and ZeU will appoint one director. St. James House will apply to the Maltese authorities on behalf of the JV for the appropriate licence to operate an online gaming operation.

Additional Consideration

In excess of the 19.9% of the net profits that it will receive and of the revenues generated and of the fees that will be collected for the technology usage, ZeU will receive from St. James House’ new UK Subsidiary, LottoCo, 100,000 non-voting, zero-coupon redeemable preferred shares of a par value of 2 pence (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares will be redeemable in 21 years, the redemption price of the Preferred Shares to be fixed within 3 months after the issue of the audited accounts of the Lottery JV for the second year of operations and will be based on an independent valuation report. At the discretion of ZeU, the Preferred Shares may be exchanged on the basis of one Preferred Share for two ordinary shares of 1 pence each in St. James House (“Ordinary Shares”), with notice to be given one day before the preferred shares are due to be redeemed in 21 years, i.e. a maximum of 200,000 Ordinary Shares may be issued.

“(…) This is a first important step for ZeU, without dismissing the potential income derived from the JV, we believe that this lottery operation will allow us to showcase our Random Number Generator technology to the world. Other potential users are currently being approached, from lottery and gambling/gaming operators to financial service industry security software providers. This mandate will initiate the transition of the company from a small R&D operation to a commercial provider of blockchain solutions. We are up for the challenge and I am personally very proud of our team and what we achieved over a relatively short period (…)” commented Frank Dumas, ZeU’s President & CEO.

Important Conflict of Interest Disclosure

Lord Tim Razzall, Director of ZeU, is also the Non-Executive Chairman of St. James House PLC. He has recused himself from Board meetings and resolutions regarding this transaction. Lord Razzall owns less than 1 per cent of the common shares of St-Georges and is not a director of St-Georges.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

FRANK DUMAS, DIRECTOR & COO, ST-GEORGES ECO-MINING; PRESIDENT & CEO, ZEU CRYPTO NETWORKS.

The series will leverage the distribution of its online network of over 75M website visitors, the additional 50M YouTube visitors, and the tens of thousands of attendees at its live video game expo, EGLX. The tournament will begin this summer and end with grand finals at EGLX 2019, on October 18-20, 2019 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (“MTCC”), downtown Toronto. The event will be broadcast live and will be released by episodic video after the finals.

The unique series aims to discover up and coming talent in the Esports industry and follow their personal and professional journey as they compete to be recognized as the next big Esports superstar and win a large grand prize. Enthusiast currently has over 400 major gaming influencers within its online communities and will invite some of its top talent to lead the teams of aspiring participants as they battle to gain the same notoriety as the celebrities. The series will capture footage of the Esports professionals as they interact with the Rising Stars for the viewing enjoyment of the entire Esports industry. Fans will be able to watch the journey unfold as episodic content on Enthusiast Gaming’s online network, live streams during the event, and in the audience at EGLX in Toronto.

Menashe Kestenbaum, CEO of Enthusiast commented, “Our vision has always been to provide a home and community to dedicated lifestyle gamers. Until now we’ve done that separately through our online communities as well as our live events. We have now made our first major step towards bringing our online and offline communities together in an integrated, strategic relationship. With 2019 now projected to be the first billion-dollar year for Esports and attract brands across all industries, EGLX Rising Stars will provide another platform for Brands targeting the Esports Industry.”

As Esports popularity and viewership continue to grow, Enthusiast continues to invest and focus its efforts on providing a place for Esports enthusiasts to discover content and join like-minded communities. Recent acquisitions of the digital properties Daily Esports and Operation Sports, as well as hosting one of the largest Esports competitor events at EGLX 2018 established Enthusiast Gaming as a leading provider of Esports content. The Rising Stars series is a continuation of its 2019 Esports growth plans to focus its efforts on providing Esports enthusiasts with both the content and the community to follow, discover and experience the growing Esports industry.

The traditional focus of Esports events is limited to only broadcasting the live competitive match with commentators. Through Enthusiast’s content distribution platforms, The Rising Stars series will disrupt the current model, and include entertaining online and live content, such as, player narratives and storylines; behind the scenes footage of influencer personalities; and an overall unique spectator experience. The company intends for the content to be enjoyed and viewed beyond the event itself, throughout the year.

Earlier this week, Enthusiast announced that EGLX will take place in Toronto October 18-20, 2019 with nearly double the square footage of its prior event. The EGLX Rising Stars series will be a major focus of this year’s event.  Plans were also announced to expand EGLX’s footprint into the United States, which will allow US Esports competitors to participate within its Rising Stars tournament series in 2020. The company will provide further updates in the coming months.

Tartisan Nickel Corp. $TN.ca Provides Corporate Update on Projects and Planning $ROX.ca $FF.ca $EDG.ca $AGL.ca $ANZ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:23 PM on Wednesday, March 6th, 2019

Not for distribution to U.S. news wire services or dissemination in the U.S.

  • Provides an update on corporate activities on the suite of Company projects in Canada and Peru.
  • Tartisan CEO Mr. Mark Appleby noted, “2019 will bring a resurgence of exploration at Kenbridge to be financed initially by the return of the Financial Assurance funds pending approval of Tartisan’s remediation of the Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project, meaning that share dilution can be avoided while still generating exploration.”

TORONTO, ON / March 6, 2019 / Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN; OTC QC: TTSRF; FSE: A2D PCM) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on corporate activities on the suite of Company projects in Canada and Peru.

Kenbridge Nickel-Copper Deposit, Atikwa Lake Area, Ontario

First, access road rehabilitation has been completed over the 13.2 km length to the site. This allows a lower-cost resumption of exploration in that air transport from nearby Sioux Narrows Ontario is not needed to the same extent. The line cutting program on the Kenbridge Nickel Copper Project has commenced and as at the date of this news release, two lines have been completed. Line cutting commenced at the southern mapped extremity of the Kenbridge Deposit as it averages some 90m in width; as well, one of the primary exploration targets for a similar depositional environment with historic surface mineralization is found on the west end of the second cut line in the program.

In this way, the Company may start the induced polarization geophysical survey on the two completed lines with the ability to lay out the lines on the frozen lakes, where required, and still hit one of the major exploration targets on the Kenbridge Property, while the rest of the line cutting grid is cut. The Company has made the decision to not pursue the drone-based magnetometer survey at this time.

MineMap Pty. Ltd., of Midland, Western Australia, has been contracted to provide an updated resource model and results of same are expected later in 2019 as well as an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report.

Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project, Iroquois Falls, Ontario

The Company successfully closed the sale of the Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project to VaniCom Resources Limited of Perth, W. Australia, in October, 2018. Tartisan Nickel retains the Financial Assurance Bond held in trust by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

As a result of the sale Tartisan also owns 1,750,000 shares of VaniCom Resources Limited.

To that end, the Company has filed a Progressive Rehabilitation Report with the Ministry so as to facilitate the release of funds, which total some C$240,000. Tartisan is actively working with the Ministry to address comments.

Tartisan CEO Mr. Mark Appleby noted, “2019 will bring a resurgence of exploration at Kenbridge to be financed initially by the return of the Financial Assurance funds pending approval of Tartisan’s remediation of the Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project, meaning that share dilution can be avoided while still generating exploration.”

At the Company’s Peruvian projects, site visits are planned for April, 2019 at which point exploration and development strategies should be put in place to create potential additional shareholder value. A key focus will be to define the manganese content of the Don Pancho Project, including core review, QA/QC confirmation sampling, and block modeling the Don Pancho project to the extent possible with existing drilling.

$HPQ.ca Gen2 PUREVAP(TM) Testing of Tapping Section of Pilot Plant Design and Subsystems, De-Risking Up-Coming Pilot Plant Trials $PYR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:15 AM on Tuesday, March 5th, 2019
  • Announced the receipt of a progress report from PyroGenesis Canada Inc (TSX Venture: PYR) describing continuous development testing of the pilot plant design and reactor related subsystems of the Silicon Melt Drainage (Tapping) part of the process.  
  • Work of the Gen2 PUREVAP™ Commercial Scalability Proof of Concept platform is undertaken in order to minimize the risk of design failure during the pilot plant trials schedule to start mid-2019.

MONTREAL, March 05, 2019 – HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. (HPQ) (TSX VENTURE:HPQ) (FRANKFURT:UGE) (OTC PINK:URAGF) is pleased to announce the receipt of a progress report from PyroGenesis Canada Inc (“PyroGenesis”) (TSX Venture: PYR) describing continuous development testing of the pilot plant design and reactor related subsystems of the Silicon Melt Drainage (Tapping) part of the process.  This work of the Gen2 PUREVAP™ Commercial Scalability Proof of Concept platform is undertaken in order to minimize the risk of design failure during the pilot plant trials schedule to start mid-2019.

DRAINAGE OF LIQUID SILICON MELT AT THE BOTTOM OF REACTOR (TAPPING) CRITICAL TO PROCESS

Drainage of silicon (tapping) is one of the most important aspects of the process.  Efforts have been made by PyroGenesis to optimize the design of the melt drainage subsystems of the pilot plant.  In order to test design efficiency and to generate computational studies to predict the tapping behaviour of liquid silicon in the Gen3 pilot plant, a few silicon melting and tapping tests using GEN2 reactor have been conducted to date.

SIMULATED TAPPING DONE USING GEN2

To simulate the tapping process of the pilot plant unit, the Gen2 reactor was ramped up to operating parameters with a standard mixture of quartz and carbon introduced at the beginning.  Once the reactor reached operating temperature as-received Si is introduced in the reactor for effective melting.  Once the whole Si mass melted, the tap hole was opened to drain the liquid metal and the data from the test was then used to generate computational studies.

Mr. Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silicon Resources Inc stated: “We are very happy to show our first ever public picture of the Gen2 in action.  What these tests demonstrate is the incredible versatility of our Gen2 PUREVAPTM QRR platform, highlighting the advancement being made on the project and toward de-risking the mid-2019, Gen3 commercial scalability testing phase”.

Pierre Carabin, Eng., M. Eng., Chief Technology Officer and Chief Strategist of PyroGenesis has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release.

This News Release is available on the company’s CEO Verified Discussion Forum, a moderated social media platform that enables civilized discussion and Q&A between Management and Shareholders.
