NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Flatiron School, a global institution that trains students in 21st-century skills like software engineering, data science, cybersecurity and UX/UI design, today released its 2020 Jobs Report. Independently examined by external auditors Moody, Famiglietti & Andronico, LLP to ensure transparency and authenticity, the annual report details job placement data for 2,262 students who graduated from an online or on-campus program between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019.

According to the results, which consist of responses from 1,736 on-campus students and 526 online students, Flatiron School graduates secured positions quickly, and with competitive salaries. Fifty-three percent of job-seeking graduates accepted jobs within 60 days, and 86% of job-seeking graduates accepted jobs within the reporting period, despite the impact of COVID-19. The average salary of global Flatiron School graduates who accepted full-time positions and disclosed compensation was nearly $70,000. The average salary of U.S. graduates was nearly $75,000. For perspective, in 2020, the entire household median income in the United States was $68,400. Those that took full-time contract, internship, apprenticeship, or freelance positions started at an average hourly rate of $32 per hour, more than four times the federal minimum wage ($7.25).

Graduates were hired across companies of all sizes and industries, including Twitter, Facebook, Slack, Spotify, NBA and MLB. Graduates accepted full-time roles in software engineering, data analytics, technical teaching, product management, UX design, UI design and other technical disciplines including cybersecurity.

«I am so proud of my career. I am so proud to call myself an engineer. I’m so proud to represent women in technology. I’m proud to represent Black Americans,» said Olivia Auzenne, a Software Engineering graduate. «I have a sense of pride when people ask me what I do and I can say, yeah, I’m an engineer at a notable company.»

The 2020 Jobs Report revealed positive movement for women in tech. The average salary for job-seeking graduates who accepted a full-time annual salaried job was 6% higher for women compared to men ($72,280 vs $68,365). In addition, 90% of women accepted full-time jobs while 83% of men accepted full-time jobs. With 32% of the 2,262 Flatiron School students being women, Flatiron School continues to work to drive positive change by partnering with like-minded organizations, offering scholarships and empowerment initiatives like Women Take Tech.

«We created a purpose-driven company as a response to our experience in tech and passion for driving stronger education, removing the high costs, barriers to entry, and stale classroom experience,» said Adam Enbar, chief executive officer and co-founder of Flatiron School. «Eight years later, I’m proud that so many students of all backgrounds have entrusted us with their education, and their futures. Our graduates more than doubled in 2019 and exhibited their strength in 2020, a time of great challenge and change. I’m excited to see what we do in 2021.»

The 2020 Jobs Report also revealed:

  • Areas in need of tech talent – of the 1,286 graduates who accepted offers within the reporting period, 69% were in Engineering, 12% were in Data Analytics, 7% were in Technical Teaching, 4% were in Product Management or Technical Project Management, 3% were in other technical disciplines, such as QA, Technical Sales, Technical Writing, Cybersecurity Engineering, or Cybersecurity Analysis, and 5% were in UX and UI design.
  • Online vs. On-Campus Programs – On-Campus Programs had a job placement rate 2 percentage points higher than Online Programs.
  • Regional differences in hiring – geography impacted job placement rates and the size of the company at which grads accepted roles. For example, 43% of Brooklyn campus graduates went on to work at large companies, whereas 48% of Londoners went on to work at smaller shops with less than 50 employees. 50% of graduates in Washington D.C. accepted a tech job within 30 days while 47% of graduates in Houston accepted a tech job within 30 days.
  • Accessible tuition rates – of the 1,942 graduates included in this report, the average tuition bill, excluding students who received full scholarships and students who enrolled in a regional Pilot Data Science program, was $13,383.

Pandemic Year Brought Incredible Surge in ‘Million-Dollar Cities’

SEATTLE, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Although the typical value of a home in the United States is about $263,000, the number of «million-dollar cities» spiked sharply last year,  according to a new Zillow analysis.  There are 45…

SEATTLE, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Although the typical value of a home in the United States is about $263,000, the number of «million-dollar cities» spiked sharply last year,  according to a new Zillow analysis.  There are 45 more U.S. cities1 with a typical home value of at least $1 million than there were a year ago — the largest increase in at least a decade.

There are now 312 million-dollar cities, up 104 from five years ago. Nearly half of those 104 crossed that threshold in 2020, a reflection of the flaming hot market last year that saw home values appreciating near 7.5% annually in November as demographic trends and pandemic effects brought surging demand through most of 2020.  This follows a year in which home prices appreciated at the lowest rate since 2013 and a net of two cities fell below the $1 million threshold.

Million-dollar cities are fairly congregated geographically, with 70 percent concentrated within nine coastal metro areas. Among those, 61 are in the San Francisco metro area, 51 are clustered around New York City and 39 are in the Los Angeles area. The metro areas of San Jose (20 cities), Boston (11),  MiamiFort Lauderdale (11), Seattle (9) and Washington, D.C., (8) also have multiple cities where the typical home price exceeds $1 million.

«In 2020 home values soared nationwide because of incredible demand across all price tiers, which we expect to continue well into 2021,» says Zillow senior economist Chris Glynn. «Despite the label, there are homes available in these communities for less than $1 million, but buyers must be realistic about their wish list and act quickly in the current market, especially since homes are selling in a matter of days in many places.  For sellers, it is possible to capitalize on the recent growth in these markets and relocate to far less-expensive markets – particularly with an increase in remote work offering flexibility in the job market.»

Atherton, Calif., near San Francisco, has the highest typical home value in the country at about $6.6 million. Hunts Point, Wash., near Seattle, is No. 2,  with typical values around $6 million. Sagaponack, New York, and Jupiter Island, Fla. (Port St. Lucie metro area), follow with typical values over $5 million. There are six additional cities with typical home values over $4 million, 21 more with values over $3 million, and another 38 with values over $2 million.

Historically, the list of million-dollar cities is dominated by areas that offer natural amenities like proximity to the ocean and mountains, and many of the cities that joined the list this year fit that mold. Some newcomers include Potomac, Maryland; Longport, Long Beach Township, and Allenhurst in New Jersey; and Westhampton and the Town of Shelter Island in New York. Calistoga and Yountville in California’s Napa Valley also crossed the $1 million threshold in 2020, as well as Incline Village, Nevada, in the Lake Tahoe area.

«An increased demand in places like Potomac and other more expensive areas around the county is happening because of the pandemic-driven need for more indoor and outdoor space, home offices, pools and more,» said Samer Kuraishi, a Best of Zillow Premier Agent and President of The ONE Street Company, a boutique real estate firm in Washington, D.C. «We’re seeing more buyers from afar using technology to tour homes and buy ‘sight unseen.’ The sellers who have a great media package, including a floor plan with dimensions, virtual staging and 3D imaging, have the edge in such a competitive market.»

If current rates of appreciation hold, two additional Coastal California cities could join the $1 million club in the coming months — El Cerrito and Cayucos.

The preliminary unaudited revenue results described in this press release are estimates only and subject to revision until the Company reports its full financial results for 2020 during its earnings announcement planned for late February.

«I’m proud that our Penumbra team around the world was able to help our customers address the needs of many more patients during the challenges of the global pandemic,» said Adam Elsesser, chief executive officer and president, Penumbra, Inc. «We remain committed to our mission of meeting the needs of patients and all who serve them across our neuro, vascular and virtual reality franchises.»

The Company is scheduled to present at the 39th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, January 12, 2021, at 10:50 a.m. Eastern Time.  An audio webcast of this presentation will be available by visiting the investors’ section of the Company’s website at www.penumbrainc.com. The audio webcast will be available on the Company’s website for at least two weeks following the event.

1 See «Non-GAAP Revenue» for important information about our use of this non-GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Revenue
In addition to revenue prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles («GAAP»), the Company uses non-GAAP revenue in this press release.  The Company defines non-GAAP revenue as revenue excluding the impact of the December 15, 2020 voluntary recall of the Jet 7 Xtra Flex.

Full reconciliation of non-GAAP revenue to GAAP revenue is set forth in the tables below.

Our management believes non-GAAP revenue provides useful information to investors in assessing the performance of our business and provides meaningful comparisons to prior periods and thus a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure.  In addition, non-GAAP revenue enables comparison of the Company’s revenue results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP revenue measures.

The non-GAAP revenue measure included in this press release may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP revenue measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP revenue. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP revenue to GAAP revenue included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.

Li-Cycle and New Flyer Team Up to Complete Heavy-Duty Battery Recycling Pilot

ONTARIO, Canada, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Li-Cycle Corp. (Li-Cycle), North America’s largest lithium-ion battery recycling company, today announced its successful completion of a battery recycling pilot with New Flyer Industries Canada ULC and New Flyer of America Inc. (together «New Flyer»), subsidiaries of NFI Group Inc. («NFI»), one of the world’s leading independent global bus manufacturers.

ONTARIO, Canada, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Li-Cycle Corp. (Li-Cycle), North America’s largest lithium-ion battery recycling company, today announced its successful completion of a battery recycling pilot with New Flyer Industries Canada ULC and New Flyer of America Inc. (together «New Flyer»), subsidiaries of NFI Group Inc. («NFI»), one of the world’s leading independent global bus manufacturers.

New Flyer provided Li-Cycle with 45 end-of-life lithium-ion battery modules (used for research and development)  totaling 3,200 pounds; these batteries will be processed at Li-Cycle’s Spoke facility and turned into black mass, an industry term for a mixture of lithium, nickel, cobalt and copper. Li-Cycle’s Hub processes black mass in order to produce critical, battery-grade materials from recycled sources, as well as other recycled materials that can be returned to the economy.

«We are thrilled to team up with New Flyer to help spearhead the closed-loop resource recovery of electric bus batteries,» said Li-Cycle Chief Commercial Officer Kunal Phalpher. «As of 2019, approximately 425,000 of the world’s buses are electric. By recycling thousands of pounds of lithium-ion batteries, we’re serving the dual purpose of reducing hazardous waste, while recovering critical materials so they can be reintroduced into the supply chain. The compounded benefits of this partnership will have a significant positive environmental impact, which can be a model for cities around the world.»

Lithium-ion batteries have traditionally been impractical to recycle, creating hazardous waste and the loss of valuable, finite materials. Historically, many have been landfilled or partially recycled through pyro-metallurgical processes, which have only an average recovery rate of 40%. However, these methods are inefficient and lead to environmental decay, wasted resources, and have a negative impact on an otherwise environmentally friendly vision of electrification.

«As our customers transition to zero-emission mobility, they do so with a focus on cradle to grave sustainability. The demand for battery recycling is growing, so too is the desire to lessen environmental impact on our communities. Our pilot with Li-Cycle is delivering just this and we are optimistic in offering battery recycling in future,» said Chris Stoddart, President, New Flyer and MCI. «We’re committed to providing sustainable mobility solutions from procurement through vehicle retirement. Working with Li-Cycle delivers a triple sustainability benefit: we recover critical resources and divert them from landfills, provide them for re-use in the battery supply chain, and do so through Li-Cycle’s proprietary clean recycling process that minimizes impact to surrounding environments.»

New Flyer and Li-Cycle are both members of CALSTART, an international nonprofit dedicated to accelerating the pace of clean technology and the adoption of clean transportation.

Ajay Kochhar and Tim Johnston co-founded Li-Cycle in 2016 with a vision to be the most sustainable, vertically integrated and globally preeminent lithium-ion battery resource recovery company. Li-Cycle’s Spoke & Hub Technologies provide a low cost, safe, and environmentally friendly process that can recycle all types of lithium-ion batteries, with an unparalleled recovery rate of ≥95% of all materials. Li-Cycle’s industry-leading innovations make it uniquely positioned to support a key element of the growing international movement towards zero carbon technologies. The company recently closed a Series C equity funding round to fund further facility deployment and to drive expansion into international markets.

About Li-Cycle Corp.
Li-Cycle Corp. (Li-Cycle) is on a mission to leverage its innovative Spoke & Hub Technologies to provide a customer-centric, end-of-life solution for lithium-ion batteries, while creating a secondary supply of critical battery materials. Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are increasingly powering our world in automotive, energy storage, consumer electronics, and other industrial and household applications. The world needs improved technology and supply chain innovations to better manage the end-of-life of these batteries – and to meet the rapidly growing demand for critical and scarce battery-grade materials through a closed-loop solution.

About New Flyer

Khaled Salem, U.S. Senate Candidate for New York, Demands that Donald Trump Pay for Damages to Capitol

NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Khaled Salem, who is running for the U.S. Senate in New York, today issued a statement demanding that Donald Trump pay for the damages he caused to the U.S. Capitol building by inciting a violent riot there on January 6.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Khaled Salem, who is running for the U.S. Senate in New York, today issued a statement demanding that Donald Trump pay for the damages he caused to the U.S. Capitol building by inciting a violent riot there on January 6. He urged all Americans to file lawsuits against Trump, as an individual, for the destructive consequences of the lethal spree conducted by his followers. In his view, the insurrectionist violence and vandalism will cause real financial harm to Americans in the forms of increased taxes and borrowing to pay for repairs and increased security over the long term.

«This is not an abstraction,» Khaled explained. «We all know that this little man’s temper tantrum led directly to hundreds of thousands of dollars in physical damages to the Capitol. But, going forward, the increased security services and adding of security features to government buildings everywhere as the result of this violence is going to cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. Why should we shoulder this burden? It’s a worthwhile matter to pursue, in my view.»

In addition, Khaled condemned the anti-democratic actions of the rioters and their primary instigator. «This is now what America is about, and everyone who participated in this disgraceful incident is well aware of this fact. The irony is that the protesters were demanding democracy—but they were engaging in fascist tactics. We elect representatives to govern in the name of the people. If we don’t like them, we vote them out. We don’t threaten to kill them if we disagree or contest an election.»

As a U.S. Senator, Khaled is committed to serving the people of New York state with dignity and honor, two qualities that were sadly lacking on January 6. In his view, the attacks and threats made on that day are an unfortunate extension of the personal attacks that are now so common in American politics. «If you don’t agree with someone, you can be productive and make a difference by engaging in an argument with their policies. But if you degenerate into personal attacks, you’re accomplishing nothing for the country,» he added.

Khaled also remarked, sadly, «Let’s also never forget that a brave police officer was beaten to death by this mob. Trump and his supporters essentially engaged in a terrorist act against all Americans. This tragic event should negate Trump’s chance to run again for the presidency in 2024. The rule of law must prevail.»

Khaled, a longtime resident of Brooklyn, is renowned as a fighter for human and religious rights for Americans at home and abroad. In addition to advocating for the release of American detainees in the Arab world and elsewhere, he advocates for less restrictive immigration laws. His other policy positions include the following highlights:

  • A stop to the policy of showing place of birth on U.S. passports, a practice that leads to discrimination and harassment of American citizens when they travel abroad.
  • Laws and procedures to reduce domestic violence nationwide.
  • A reduction in U.S.  Military activity and presence in the Middle East.
  • A policy that requires these regions pay for American military services.
  • The establishment of a home loan program for middle class single parents.

Khaled is running in the next general election, scheduled for November 8, 2022. Thirty-four of the Senate’s 100 seats are being contested in these elections.

Glass fiber composites comprise a major share in terms of both value and volume.

Monomers account for the largest share of the overall market in terms of both value and volume. Government regulations such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) standards in the U.S.  carbon emission targets in U.S. have put pressure on OEMs to incorporate lightweight materials to reduce the overall vehicle weight, which has led to increased use of GFRP in the automotive industry. However, due to pandemic COVID-19, the sales of automotive composites decreased due to disturbance in supply chain.

Exterior applications account for the largest market share in the global automotive composites market in terms of value and volume.

The exterior parts include major components such as bumper beam, fender, front end module, door panels, and hood, among others. The use of composites in the automotive industry is an emerging trend as these composites help in achieving high-performance properties such as high stiffness, lightweight, and high strength to weight to ratio. However, because of COVID-19 as well as downturn in the automotive industry, the demand for automotive composites is reduced all over the globe. The exterior segment is at the forefront with the highest consumption of automotive composites globally since it help reduce the weight of the exterior parts hence enabling a weight reduction of the complete car body and make it more fuel-efficient. Germany is the largest consumer of automotive composites. Subsequently, certain Asia Pacific countries such as China and Japan consumed a considerable share of automotive composites in 2019. There is a huge decline in demand in the APAC region due to a complete and partial lockdown in the region.

Non-electric vehicle type dominates the market in the global automotive composites market during the forecast period in terms of value and volume.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), management uses non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing our core business and business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors’ ability to view the Company’s results from management’s perspective. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company currently defines non-GAAP net income as net income (loss) before amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, executive transition costs, acquisition costs, fair value adjustments, depreciation adjustments, stock-based compensation, and the tax effects of the foregoing adjustments.
