GSI Exchange and Royal Canadian Mint Announce Limited Release of 2020 $10 1/4 oz Gold Bull Coin

GSI Exchange, a top-rated coin, bullion, and precious metals dealer based in Calabasas, California, in coordination with the Royal Canadian Mint, recently announced a limited release sale of the highly anticipated 2020 $10 1/4 oz Gold Bull Coin. The obverse of the coin depicts the powerful and inspiring Aquitaine Bull, aptly described as the "Gold Bull," designed by famous Canadian artist Steve Hepburn.

The coin contains 1/4 oz. of .9999 fine gold and bears a 10 Dollars (CAN) face value.

There is a great deal of investor and collector interest in the first run of the 2020 Gold and Silver Bull Coin! GSI Exchange has the unique opportunity to offer first right of refusal on the coins to its customers and clients.

"We believe this IRA-eligible issue represents a unique opportunity in today's investment-grade bullion market," explains Anthony Allen Anderson, Senior Partner at GSI Exchange. He continues, "with U.S. political uncertainty at its highest level in decades and impeachment fears mounting, a trade war that shows few signs of abating and continued saber-rattling in the Middle East, gold bullion which has historical, artistic, and tangible value, remains the best hedge against volatile stock markets and political uncertainty. It is time to ride the Gold Bull."

The Royal Canadian Mint describes the coin as follows; "With a stance as commanding as the bronze bull of Manhattan's Wall Street District, this Aquitaine Bull brings its own breed of economic optimism and strength to this bullion coin. The characteristic upswing of a charging bull's horns symbolizes the rising stock prices of a "bullish" growth investment market. The bull is in direct contrast to the downward slash of a bear's paw during a "bear market" where decreasing stock values warrant caution until the trend reverses."

"The Aquitaine Bull has been valued by farmers as long ago as the Middle Ages in the French Aquitaine District. U.S. and Canadian ranchers began discovering the breed in the early 1970s, and quickly embraced its easygoing and hardy nature, and its ability to forage on rocky or sparse terrain. The Blonde Aquitaine Bull is a moderate-sized breed that delivers excellent returns due to its high growth rate, lean muscling, and calving success. It's an enduring and dependable breed that promises to build a momentum of optimism and confidence well into the 21st century!"

In 2016, for the first time in its history, the Royal Canadian Mint instituted a unique Bullion DNA process to protect buyers and sellers of Gold and Silver bullion from coin counterfeiting. The Bullion DNA device works by reading a micro-engraved security mark appearing on the reverse of the coin. The mark, consisting of a textured maple leaf and the last two numerals of the coin's production year, visible only under magnification, is laser-engraved on the dies, which are used to strike these coins. Each die is registered in a secure database after a microscopic view of the mark is captured and converted into a complex, encrypted digital code using the Mint's digital non-destructive activation (DNA) technology. When a genuine coin is placed in the Bullion DNA device, it can read the security mark like a fingerprint and match it to a registered Royal Canadian Mint die. Read this for more information.

The expected low-mintage, unique anti-counterfeit protection, and high collector and investor interest in these coins can contribute to price appreciation significantly greater than the intrinsic value of the metal.

"The Blonde Aquitaine Bull or 'Gold Bull' is already one of our most talked-about coins, and supplies are extremely limited," says Anderson, "we are fortunate to be the first retailer to offer these coins to our clients at prices too low to publish, but only while they last."

Latina Keynote Speaker and Author Karla Monterrosa Honors #Metoo Movement with Courageous Story of Healing from Sexual Abuse

The rise of the #MeToo and Time's Up movements have exposed cases of sexual abuse within workplaces in the fields of government, entertainment, sports, and various other industries. Child sexual abuse has been missing from the conversation, which is surprising. The prevalence and effects of sexual abuse are devastating.

Considering that one out of every ten children experiences sexual abuse by the age of 18 and there are over 42 million survivors of sexual abuse in the United States, the #metoo movement is only the beginning. Statistics tell us that women who have experienced abuse are prone to re-experience abuse again later and adopt harmful beliefs about sexuality, leaving them vulnerable to revictimization.

Karla's journey started as a Salvadoran immigrant, and she built up two decades of experience in community and economic development before leaving her career in city government to truly walk in her purpose. Her personal experience of healing from her own sexual abuse, both as a child and in the workplace, prepared her for her career as an author and keynote speaker, with a passion to reach women who have experienced abuse.

Through her unique coaching program, Unbraided Life (http://www.unbraidedlife.com), Karla guides survivors of abuse to discover their specific needs and develop actionable strategies. She's penned multiple online pieces about her journey from abuse as a Latina and immigrant, and the trials and tribulations she faced to overcome her own personal experiences, to then build a program, and now book, to empower others.

Karla is a certified Mending the Soul support group facilitator, but it's her almost two decades of experience in community and economic development that make her programming practical, unique, and transformational.

You can find Karla on the internet at http://www.unbraidedlife.com, @_UnbraidedLife on Instagram, Unbraided Life on Facebook.

A complete list of currently included genetic conditions in our Health Markers report is available here.

According to Basepaws Founder and CEO, Anna Skaya, PKD affects about one in three Persian breeds and its related gene pool. PKD is a result of a genetic fault in kidney cell development that leads to multiple cysts forming in the kidneys. HCM is the most common feline heart disease impacting up to 15 percent of all cats. Retinal atrophy is a gene mutation causing severe degeneration of vision impacts millions of cats each year.

StarCompliance Announces The Launch Of STAR Mobile: The App That Brings Essential Desktop Compliance Capabilities To Personal Devices

StarCompliance today announced the launch of a new mobile app: STAR Mobile. STAR Mobile brings critical compliance functionality from Star's employee conflicts monitoring desktop application to mobile devices. The app is designed to make complying with firm policies simpler and easier. By increasing employee participation, and hence the volume of data entered into the STAR system, activities can be meticulously monitored and employee and firm risk can be further reduced.

"Once we decided to build a mobile app," says StarCompliance CEO Jennifer Sun, "we asked ourselves, what kind of mobile app do we want to build? We surveyed the market and realized that the few employee-conflicts mobile apps available were basic, one-size-fits-all entry screens. They looked good, but the functionality wasn't there. So we spent our time developing a solution that mirrors the configurability of our desktop app and delivers it in an easy to navigate mobile app." Click here to read the latest news.

In 2018, 52.2% of all online traffic worldwide was conducted on mobile phones.* Along with increasing pressure from regulatory bodies on the financial services industry and its employees, Star saw a need for a mobile solution to support compliance teams around the globe in their ongoing effort to increase employee engagement. "The fact that StarCompliance is prioritizing the development of a mobile app perfectly highlights why my firm continues to work with them," says one compliance manager at a global asset management firm scheduled to adopt STAR Mobile. "It's extremely important that our technology partners be forward-thinking, and always ready to listen to us and address the changing needs of our user base. Mobile capability is more than just a wish list item. In today's business world, it's a requirement."

STAR Mobile's level of data granularity and data security is equivalent to that of the STAR desktop app. With STAR Mobile, end users can pre-clear personal trades and disclose transactions. Outside sales teams can submit and update gift and entertainment declarations in real time. Similarly, supervisors can review and approve escalated requests, require clarifying information, and stay better informed of their employees' day-to-day activities. All mobile app activities feed immediately back into the STAR desktop app for review, reporting, and auditing purposes.

"We wanted people to want to engage with this app," says Sun. "Not only did we focus on app capabilities, we took the time to focus on user interface and usability. A client once said to me that their employee population is getting younger and younger and more and more mobile. So their technology strategy has shifted, and is now centered around making functionality available on mobile devices to increase employee productivity. This story inspired us to build a better mobile app for compliance than what was available on the market, with a particular focus on increasing both productivity and employee engagement." Be alert to the latest news.
