Tompkins is supporting Spinrite's operations nationally in their Atlanta, Georgia distributed logistics location and outbound shipments have begun.

In early 2019, Spinrite acquired Coats & Clark, effectively doubling their e-commerce logistics requirements to support both their Yarnspirations.com and RedHeart.com online shopping sites in the U.S. and Canada. Following this acquisition, it was quickly realized that current in-house and outsourced logistics solutions would not meet their needs. After considering multiple providers, Spinrite selected Tompkins as its order fulfillment provider due to its efficient and effective distributed logistics operations, enabled by proprietary technologies and the t-Sort robotic automation system. Based on Spinrite's online order expansion and high number of units per order, Spinrite strives for e-fulfillment operational excellence to best serve and retain its loyal customers, as well as attract new ones by more rapid deliveries of perfect orders from multiple fulfillment centers in both the U.S. and Canada.

"We will use our highly integrated network of people, technology and physical assets to help Spinrite manage their goods more efficiently throughout their supply chains," said Jim Tompkins, CEO of Tompkins International. "We will provide value to Spinrite in the form of cost and risk reductions, process efficiencies, consistently reliable outcomes, technological innovations and customer service that are both highly responsive and proactive."

Relative to today's announcement, Liz Ridout, VP, Digital Marketing & eCommerce of Spinrite, stated, "Since beginning to work with the Tompkins team in June of 2019, we have been incredibly impressed with their logistics capabilities, timeliness and quality of the responses they have provided. Tompkins also did a great job of simplifying everything for us at every step along the way. We look forward to a long and growing relationship with Tompkins as the Spinrite business expands."

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 sample of keynote topics she offers:
7 Steps Toward Healing
Marriage, Motherhood, and Memories
Breaking the Cycle of Abuse

Cats Now Have 10 Lives: Basepaws Launches Highly Anticipated New Health Report

Basepaws, the first company to offer comprehensive, at-home feline DNA testing (think 23andMeow), has announced just in time for the holidays the launch of their new Basepaws Health Report. The new report includes 39 genetic mutations that correspond to 17 genetic health conditions. This vital information now aids more than 47 million US cat households if their beloved feline has tested positive for a genetic variant associated with any of the genetic diseases included in the Basepaws database and has the potential to save lives with prevention and education.

One of the most innovative feline health companies, Basepaws gained immediate acclaim after appearing on ABC's Shark Tank earlier this year. In its initial offering to cat owners, Basepaws provided breed relativity information alongside with a similarity to the wild cats. Today, the highly anticipated new Health Marker report has launched, which analyzes 39 genetic markers that are associated with 17 genetic diseases, including polycystic kidney disorder (PKD), Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and retinal degeneration. 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.

"Cat owners are now armed with advance insights in their Health Report about their cat's healthcare needs, making it possible to potentially mitigate or even prevent illness down the road. We know already our products save lives."

Basepaws offers cat lovers a fascinating window into their cats' origins and breed makeup. Even more important are the implications for cat health and the knowledge base of veterinary science.
