The annual return on savings accounts grapples with reaching the inflation rate.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada – December 28, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

As America and Canada officially mark the inflation rate exceeding one percent, the annual return on savings accounts grapples with reaching that point. As a result, even those traditionally conservative with resources are willing to accept a modicum of risk in order to maintain the total worth of their portfolio. Konstantinos Kazinakis, a financial expert with United Bunkers Investors Corporation, evaluates investment security measures such as bond EFTs (exchange-traded funds) and TIPS (treasury inflation-protected securities) to safely and successfully grow wealth and overcome the complexities of today’s markets.

Bond EFTs offer an accessible, inexpensive and flexible choice. Liquid and easy to trade, bond EFTs function much in the same way a stock on the exchange does; and like a mutual fund, they combine assets and utilizes professional managers to invest exclusively in a portfolio of bonds, only with a passive management strategy that minimizes the amount of buying and selling. Konstantinos Kazinakis notes that attractive features of bond EFTs are diversification, price transparency and the regular income streams. A great range of structure and term length means that some track wide indexes of thousands of bonds backed by favorably rated corporations, mortgages and the U.S. Treasury, while others are more focused indexes with narrow maturity ranges. Advantages include almost instantaneous details on value, as prices are updated every 15 seconds throughout the trading day, virtually eliminating uncertainty about performance; additionally, payments are usually distributed frequently, often on a monthly basis. With intraday trading availability and potential returns, EFTs are also alluring for their many market segment options, including those targeting foreign currencies, municipal bonds, low-risk Treasuries and riskier, higher-yield corporate bonds.

At any point, market volatility is inevitable—especially in the short-term. Konstantinos Kazinakis reminds investors that undertaking a patient but adaptable approach can prove to be a wise course of action. If used too inflexibly, the buy-and-hold technique will undermine earnings otherwise produced by selling early, yet remaining firm can strengthen portfolios against varying trends, while qualifying for lower rate taxes—and inflation always remains an issue in the long term. A tactic for adding further diversification and maximizing a portfolio’s risk-reward payoff, TIPS are considered a reliable choice. For those preparing retirement plans, 10-year TIPS are an effective way to ensure future value with a guaranteed rate of return by the US Federal government, and are adjusted twice per year to guard against fluctuating prices and inflation.

Equity investment professional, Konstantinos Kazinakis has more than two decades of experience providing clients with trade financing, debt restructuring, and investment strategies that anticipate market trends, pricing, and demands. As President and Chief Operating Officer of United Bunkers Investors Corporation, he has managed transactions valued at over $1.5 billion as well as the successful repositioning of $1 billion of non-performance loans. As a recognized leader in the oil and petroleum industry, Mr. Kazinakis provides financing for advanced payments to wholesalers, bridge financing, receivables discounting, additional inventory, cargo transit, debt, property management, and mezzanine or working capital. United Bunkers Investors Corporation is supported by Financial Technology trade financing platform for a high technology solution to the global trade finance market, which is worth more than $ 4 Trillion US dollars a year, the gap is currently around $1.4 Trillion for the innovation in making trade financing more efficient and to protect against all risk.

Prem’s collection is a mythical one in rock photography circles.

London, United Kingdom – December 28, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

One of those rare defineable music opinions is that The Rolling Stones are one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. From a musical standpoint alone, a compelling case can be made as the band has created some of the most memorable and iconic songs the genre has seen. However, it may be the visual aspect of the band that truly sets them apart from any other. The Rolling Stones set the standard for how a rock band should look and behave. Now, German publisher TASCHEN, editor Reuel Golden, and the band itself is offering an unprecedented look into their fifty-year history in a collectible book titled simply “The Rolling Stones”. And along with photos and illustrations from the band’s personal archives, many previously unseen, legendary photo collector and exhibition curator, Raj Prem, has provided a number of extraordinary prints for this definitive book.

Prem’s collection is a mythical one in rock photography circles. Featuring snaps of the Stones, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan among others, his passion has resulted in his tracking down the rarest and most captivating photos he could find. In order to make sure the best images are accessible to fans, he also collaborates with photographers – representing them, managing their archives and organizing exhibitions. A true pioneer, Prem and long time collaborators San Francisco Art Exchange (SFAe) launched the world’s first rock photography show in 1997, highlighting his belief that these photos are indeed fine art. He has worked with many photography greats, including Gered Mankowitz, Robert Freeman, Michael Joseph, Iain Macmillan, Michael Cooper, Peter Webb, Jerry Schatzberg, Dominique Tarlê, Terry O’Neill, and Pattie Boyd. The former music journalist holds a special place in his heart for the Rolling Stones, however. Photographs such as the ones of the Stones’ 1965 US tour shown at that very first exhibition and those from “The Decca Years”, an exhibition which depicted the Rolling Stones rise from chart attractions to leaders of the counter culture movement, have wowed audiences and were procured largely due to Prem’s dedication. Take a read of Keith Richards’ best-selling autobiography Life, and you will notice that many of the photos are credited to ‘the Raj Prem collection’.

It is of little surprise, then, that when the band and the publishers of this definitive volume were collecting what needed to be the ultimate in Rolling Stones prints, they quickly contacted Prem. Containing over 500 pages of images from some of the time’s most iconic photographers, The Rolling Stones will consist of a limited collector’s edition run of 1,500 units – each one numbered and signed by the band. Further, six art editions will feature runs of only 75 each and come with a photographic print. The fact that number of photos from Prem’s collection, taken by Philip Townsend and Peter Webb, have been included in this book, which seeks to tell the tale of the Stone’s storied history, is something that truly means the world to the collector and fits perfectly with his ethos. As he has been quoted saying: “It’s the back stories I find really interesting.”

Raj Prem is an internationally renowned collector and curator of rock and roll photographs. He also represents the photographers and organizes exhibitions allowing their work to be seen. He often collaborates with Theron Kabrich and Jim Hartley at the SFAe gallery, arguably the most successful outlet for celebrity photography (www.sfae.com), as well as with Kate Boenigk at the Proud Galleries in London, which currently display some extremely rare Abbey Road prints. He also maintains connection to other spaces such as London’s famed Atlas Gallery and rock ‘n’ roll specialists Snap Galleries. Through his company, Raj Prem Fine Art Photography Ltd., he has taken his collection to numerous galleries in countries around the world, including the USA, UK, Dubai, Hong Kong, Japan, and the Netherlands.

This new single is a song for my son bereaved from his mum, a pebble for him to find out his way as the « Petit Poucet » from Perrault. I have been overwhelmed by the early response to the work, and hope the song strikes a chord with mothers everywhere.”

The Self Love Edition of #breakingbravely, by Stacie Winkfield, launched to #1 Best Seller on December 13, 2017, sharing tools to help people break free from the things that have held their heart hostage so that they can live their best life now.

Detroit, USA – December 28, 2017 /MM-VG/ —

Stacie Winkfield of Maximize Your Capacity is proud to announce the successful launch of her book, “Breaking Bravely: The Self Love Edition” which quickly achieved #1 Best Seller status in Amazon on December 13th. The book is the first of a 3-part series which focuses on helping people become the best version of themselves.

Winkfield, a single mother with a past history of abandonment and depression, now coaches individuals to overcome blocks in their life. She believes the book, “Breaking Bravely” is a way of life. It is a combination of tools to help people discover and fulfill their purpose. Rebuilding a life requires tools that sometimes weren’t handed down to people so they must seek the nourishment to expand their souls and feed their spirit, which can be found within the book.

Winkfield really wants the world to know that, “Changing your story can change your life. When I first started my journey broken, I didn’t know where I was headed, I just knew anything was better than where I had started. I had to retrain myself … to take me from the woman I was, to the woman I had always known myself to be. I searched for the answers … And when I could not find the book that I needed, I wrote it.”

Concepts inside the book such as radical forgiveness are not only about forgiving everything that was seen, said and done, but forgiving everything unseen, unsaid, and undone. “Breaking Bravely” teaches people to never make themselves small to fit into the space others have created for them and how to release control by acknowledging that to really love a thing is to let it go.

When Winkfield talks about, “Do It Afraid,” she is encouraging others to have the courage to remove toxic people from their life in order to move forward in their purpose, even if that means walking alone. She experienced this in her own life after a 2 year probation where she had to learn how to overcome her anger with self-love and remove toxic people from her own life.

As Winkfield says, “Your darkest place is the birthplace to your greatest creation.”

“Breaking Bravely was an amazing read and has given me the permission to make some difficult decisions when I was afraid. This is a must read for people ready to live their best life now.” Gorjess Creationz, Amazon reviewer

Cash remains the preferred form of consumer payments, especially among the rural population, primarily due to limited knowledge of payment cards or limited access to banking infrastructure. Cash is primarily used for making small-value payments at retailers, and for the payment of utility bills, taxes, and transport fares. A significant proportion of the population is engaged in informal activities, including farmers, street vendors, domestic servants, and self-employed workers. The payment card market is growing strongly but not explosively, and current trends make it unlikely that there will be a major shift in the near future. Various charges on cards and bank accounts also reduce the appeal of payment cards for most Mexican consumers. Contactless cards and mobile proximity payments are not widely used in Mexico, although the major banks have made some attempts to boost adoption of these technologies.

Key findings:

To further enhance financial inclusion, Mexico joined the UN’s Better Than Cash Alliance in June 2016. The move comes after the government introduced a national policy on financial inclusion to promote the use of electronic payments across the country and reduce the dependence on cash. With 86% of the 124.6 million population owning mobile phones, Better Than Cash Alliance aims to harness the popularity of mobile phones for digital payments.

The uptake of alternative payments is gradually increasing in Mexico, with banks launching new solutions in the market. In partnership with Mastercard, Banamex launched its digital wallet, Banamex Wallet, in February 2016. The Android-compatible mobile app can be used to make contactless m-payments, which are authorized by a four-digit PIN. Users can add all Mastercard-branded credit cards to the wallet. Earlier in June 2014, BBVA Bancomer launched its mobile wallet BBVA Wallet in Mexico. The wallet allows secure NFC payments at merchant locations that accept contactless payments. Available on phones with Android 4.4 and above, other phones can use the wallet through NFC stickers.

To combat fraudulent payment activities in Mexico, banks and scheme providers are taking a number of measures, with one example being Mastercard’s introduction of the Identity Check Mobile solution in November 2016. The solution allows card holders to verify online payment by scanning their fingerprint or taking a selfie. Unlike existing identity verification methods – which take shoppers away from a merchant’s website or mobile app and often require them to remember and enter a password – Mastercard Identity Check Mobile verifies the user via technologies such as biometrics and one-time passwords. Earlier in January 2015, Oberthur Technologies (OT) partnered with Mexican payment processing services provider Promocion y Operacin SA (PROSA) to launch OT Motion Code technology. With Motion Code the card’s CVV code is replaced with a mini-screen on which the CVV code changes automatically at regular intervals, making it impossible for fraudsters to misuse.
