HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PACIFIC COAST OIL TRUST (NYSE: ROYT) today announced that it has received notification from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of its determination to suspend trading of the Trust’s units of beneficial interest (the “Trust units”), effective as of the close of trading on August 5, 2020, and to initiate proceedings to delist the Trust units. The determination to commence the delisting proceeding results from the Trust’s inability to satisfy the continued listing compliance standards set forth under Rule 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Trust units fell below $1.00 over a 30 consecutive trading-day period that ended November 25, 2019, and the Trust was unable to regain compliance with the applicable standards within a cure period that concluded on August 5, 2020.
As a result of the suspension, the Trust expects that the Trust units will begin trading on August 6, 2020 under the symbol “ROYTL” on the OTC Pink Market, which is operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (“OTC Pink”). To be quoted on OTC Pink, a market maker must sponsor the security and comply with SEC Rule 15c2-11 before it can initiate a quote in a specific security. OTC Pink is a significantly more limited market than the NYSE, and the quotation of the Trust units on OTC Pink may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential unitholders and could further depress the trading price of the Trust units. There is no assurance that an active market in the Trust units will develop on OTC Pink.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sunshine Boats and Motors, in conjunction with Yamaha Marine, announced today that Dustin Bearden is the first apprentice to successfully complete the Yamaha Marine Apprentice Program (YMAP) offered through Yamaha Marine University™ (YMU). YMAP includes 4,000 hours of comprehensive, hands-on Yamaha outboard technician training supported by an online platform.
The program pairs seasoned mentors in dealership service departments with novice technicians to help them learn the key skills they will need to further develop their careers in the marine industry. Dealership owner and Yamaha Master Technician Pete Magnuson served as Bearden’s mentor throughout the program.
“We’re incredibly proud of Dustin’s accomplishments. As a former apprentice myself, I understand the importance of programs like YMAP,” said Magnuson. “Dustin plans to continue his training as he works toward his Yamaha Master Technician certification. Once he has achieved this goal, Sunshine Boats and Motors will have three master technicians on staff: Dustin, co-owner Marvin Lawler and myself. Our ability to serve our customers only improves with Dustin on board.”
Magnuson learned about YMAP in 2018 through Jeff Crain, his Yamaha Marine District Service Manager. Together, Crain, Magnuson and Bearden walked through the software until mentor and apprentice were in the habit of logging hours every morning to keep track of their progress. The veteran marine dealership owner quickly took note of the advantages offered through the program.
“Through YMAP, we both learned a lot about time management and efficiency. When you log hours every day, you have a deeper understanding of how you spend your time and which jobs require more attention,” said Magnuson. “Jeff was also an invaluable resource for us. He is the one responsible for making sure this program was registered with the state of Florida as well. He handled the paperwork end for us so that we could focus on the work we had to complete.”
Though Sunshine Boats and Motors is a smaller shop, its 25-year presence in Tallahassee makes it one of the more established shops in the area. The addition of another qualified technician gives the shop an even bigger competitive advantage. For Bearden, the experience working side-by-side with a knowledgeable mentor is invaluable.
“When I graduated from trade school, I worked with a career services representative to try to find a dealership close to my hometown of Thomasville, Ga.,” said Bearden. “Sunshine was a perfect fit for me. Working with two master technicians in a small shop setting and leveraging the tools we had through YMAP, I was able to gain a lot of experience in a short period of time. I’ve also attended a couple of Yamaha Training classes in Kennesaw, and I look forward to completing my Master Technician certification within the next two years. This program has without doubt put me on a fast track to solidifying my career as a successful technician.”
For more information about the Yamaha Marine Apprentice Program, please visit ymutechs.com or call (800) 854-4876 Option 3.
Yamaha Marine products are marketed throughout the United States and around the world. Yamaha Marine U.S. Business Unit, based in Kennesaw, Ga., supports its 2,400 U.S. dealers and boat builders with marketing, training and parts for Yamaha’s full line of products and strives to be the industry leader in reliability, technology and customer service.

Three executives renowned for vision and execution join the hyper-growth SaaS company to help drive supply chain digitization and transformation across the B2B space
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#leadership--ClearMetal, a leader in Continuous Delivery Experience (CDX) for supply chain and logistics solutions, today announced the addition of Ed Feitzinger to its Board along with two new Executive Advisors, Tom Linton and Walter Charles III.
Feitzinger was most recently VP of Global Logistics for Amazon, with prior roles as CEO of UTi Worldwide and VP Global Logistics at HP. At Amazon, Feitzinger was responsible for international inbound and outbound international logistics, as well as customer fulfillment in Amazon’s emerging countries. Linton most recently served as Chief Supply Chain Officer at Flex and was Chief Procurement Officer at both LG and Freescale. Charles served as Senior Vice President and Chief Procurement Officer at Allergan and held similar roles prior at Biogen, Kellogg, Kraft and Johnson & Johnson.
ClearMetal’s software platform helps companies dramatically reduce freight variability and improve customer experience. “E-commerce has made every shipper acutely aware of the impact of the supply chain on customer experience,” said Feitzinger. “I was captivated by how ClearMetal enables dynamic, door to door freight management, increasing on-time delivery over 50%, improving cash-flow, reducing inventory, and enhancing ClearMetal client’s customer experience.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed that supply chains are not set up to handle continuously evolving customer demands. Current available data is inaccurate, systems are antiquated and processes are generally rigid and conducted on a static versus continuous basis. For example, transport lead-times and customer promise dates are often generated by using a transit table that’s many months or a year old; shipments are usually monitored manually from carrier websites and statuses are emailed in excel files to customers. By contrast, ClearMetal’s CDX Data Platform is based on a continuous methodology and uses machine learning software to dynamically provide accurate lead-times, automatically monitor in-transit shipments and exceptions, and leverage real-time order visibility from supplier to customer all via a cloud-based software platform, portal, and set of APIs.
“Supply chain is about resiliency, agility and transparency,” said Linton. “Digitization alone counts for nothing if you do not provide your organization with a platform that enables these three elements. ClearMetal has cracked the code by providing trusted data that is foundational for any modern supply chain. Their applications geared toward dynamic transport planning, improvement of on-time-delivery metrics, and customer transparency are all exceptional while ClearMetal’s customer portal provides the differentiation that many supply chains need.”
ClearMetal’s ‘Continuous Delivery’ solutions help companies determine an accurate lead-time, promise-date, and inventory level based on freight transportation mode, carrier, routing and the likelihood of exceptions along that route. This solution set also enables real-time monitoring and exception management of shipments in transit. These capabilities help reduce transportation costs and improve reliability and cashflow. ClearMetal’s ‘Continuous Experience’ solutions include a unique Connect Portal that enables end to end visibility of shipments coming from suppliers, going out to customers, and while being handled by partners. This portal enables a company to receive inbound visibility of shipments coming from its suppliers so that the company can more accurately plan manufacturing production, drayage, and warehouse labor. In turn, the portal also provides this same order-level visibility of shipments sent outbound to customers-- enabling these customers to not only receive exception alerts but also self-serve by viewing the real-time status of shipments coming to them via a single trusted screen.
“As a CPO at a number of companies, I’ve seen my teams continually face the challenge of improving on-time-in-full metrics while simultaneously slashing logistics costs, all without the tools to enable success,” said Charles. “ClearMetal has something unique here, allowing procurement and supply chain teams to have near real-time insight on all inbound shipments as well as dynamic, trusted data to reduce wasted operational expenses.”
About ClearMetal:
ClearMetal, Inc., based in San Francisco, CA (USA), is a leader in the Continuous Delivery Experience (CDX), enabling supply chain organizations to optimize logistics and provide their customers with easy access to trusted, live information about their shipments and a customer experience that is a differentiator and revenue accelerant. The ClearMetal CDX Platform uses proprietary machine learning to break free from static-visibility paradigms and turn supply chains from a cost center to a competitive advantage. ClearMetal was founded by top software engineers, data scientists, and operations researchers from Stanford University, Google, and Silicon Valley and is funded by Eclipse Ventures, Prelude Ventures, Innovation Endeavors, NEA, SAP.io, Prologis Ventures, PSA Unboxed, DCLI, and the founders of GT Nexus, Navis, and Uber Freight.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AI--International energy IntelliTech company Kaiserwetter Energy Asset Management (Kaiserwetter) today announces the launch of ARISTOTELES 3.2, the next-generation of its multiple award-winning, cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform ARISTOTELES, to equip users with unprecedented insight into the technical and financial performance of their renewable energy assets.
“As a result of continuous innovation by the Kaiserwetter team, we are beyond pleased to offer ARISTOTELES users a broader scope of data intelligence for their renewable energy investments,” said Hanno Schoklitsch, CEO of Kaiserwetter. “With this upgrade, Kaiserwetter makes its debut in the solar power sector which, like wind power, represents an industry that is critical to fulfilling our core mission of accelerating the decarbonization of our global energy system.”
Kaiserwetter’s flagship IoT & AI platform – ARISTOTELES – leverages smart data analytics, predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms to maximize the power generation of connected renewable energy installations. With the actionable data intelligence ARISTOTELES offers, financing banks, investors and asset owners can evaluate their respective portfolio’s operational and financial status to help enable early asset failure detection, inform investment decisions and secure their debt service coverage ratio.
“Our next-generation of ARISTOTELES is capable of delivering the same caliber of data intelligence for solar power systems. Equally exciting is the addition of global electric power markets analytics, which users can use to calculate and predict in real-time the revenues generated by their connected assets,” said Schoklitsch. “This yields insights into the tradability beyond regulatory feed-in tariffs and helps to compare the long-term attractiveness of different markets since our platform accounts for historical electric power market activity, too.”
The launch of this expanded version of ARISTOTELES coincides with the rapid technical improvement of solar power equipment, including PV modules, which has made solar energy significantly more cost-effective, productive and competitive with wind and other energy sources than it was just one decade ago. Investors have taken note and have progressively ratcheted-up their engagement in the solar power sector.
Kaiserwetter upgraded ARISTOTELES to facilitate and accelerate this trend. Today, ARISTOTELES is capable of integrating data from solar power installations ranging in size from 10 kilowatt (kW) PV roof systems to over 200 megawatt (MW) utility-scale solar parks and using machine learning algorithms to forecast power output, anticipate the effects of context factors and benchmark the financial performance of a user’s assets against that of their peers.
By integrating electricity market data, ARISTOTELES enables the comparison of a user’s own revenues with global electric power market price curves, making analysis of potential asset revenue more precise than ever. In combination with external data, such as meteorological factors, ARISTOTELES enables investors and renewable energy asset owners to both continuously maximize the operational and financial performance of their wind and solar investments and minimize investment risks.

Public Safety Power Shutoffs Predicted to Be Smaller, Shorter and Smarter in 2020
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is conducting a company-wide, full-scale emergency exercise to prepare for the upcoming wildfire season this week.
During the five-day exercise, employees from across PG&E’s service territory simulate real-life events that could happen during a real Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). The drills include testing new procedures that will improve communications to customers, shorten the length of power outages and reduce the number of customers affected when power has to be shut off in an effort to reduce the risk of wildfires.
Several real-world activities, including line inspections by both ground crews and helicopters are happening to familiarize crews with conditions on the ground and provide additional inspections to lines in high-fire risk areas. During the drill, PG&E and contractor personnel will practice those inspections in order to reduce the time it takes to safely return electrical service to its customers. No actual power interruptions will occur related to the drill.
Michael Lewis, interim president of Pacific Gas & Electric Company, said the exercise, which follows similar three-day exercises in June and July, creates invaluable experience for the company’s frontline workers, and improved coordination with state and local partners.
“Nothing is more important than keeping our customers and their communities safe. We also know that when we call a Public Safety Power Shutoff to meet that responsibility, it can disrupt lives and cause hardship. These exercises help us ensure that if we forecast dangerous weather and a real event becomes necessary, we will be ready to respond efficiently and effectively, while doing everything we can to minimize those impacts,” Lewis said.
The sole purpose of a PSPS is to reduce the risk of major wildfires caused by our infrastructure during severe weather. In the event of extreme weather conditions, PG&E will proactively de-energize lines, shutting off power for the safety of customers and communities. During an actual PSPS event, crews will inspect every component along de-energized lines in high fire-risk areas —inspecting from the sky and from the ground—to identify and repair damaged lines or equipment before restoring power.
Smaller, Shorter and Smarter
PG&E understands how challenging these power shutoff events are for its customers, particularly as people are spending more time at home. That’s why PG&E will only call a power shutoff when it is absolutely necessary for public safety and the company is working to make these shutoffs smaller, shorter and smarter in 2020 and beyond.
PG&E is using more than 730 advanced weather stations to pinpoint where severe weather is happening, installing technology that limits the size of outages and reduces the number of customers affected, and it is increasing its helicopter fleet from 35 to 65 exclusive use helicopters while adding more field crews cut restoration times in half.
Resources
PG&E offers our customers plentiful information that can help them prepare for a PSPS event.
