Virtual Event to Provide High-Level Discussion and Educational Sessions for Third Party and Benefit Administrator Executive Leadership

ST. LOUIS, MO / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 /  The Health Care Administrators Association (HCAA), a leader in education, networking, resources and advocacy for the self-funding industry, today announced the speaker lineup for its 2021 Executive Forum to be held virtually February 8-10, 2021. The premier event will gather third party and benefit administrator executive leadership together for the first time virtually to focus on educational sessions across the theme of "Adapting, Responding and Reconnecting in the New Normal."

"On the heels of our first-ever virtual event in July 2020 – which was also our most attended conference to date – HCAA has been working hard to reimagine what the virtual conference experience can, and should, be for our membership and sponsors," said HCAA Chief Executive Officer Carol Berry, CSFS. "It's a monumental time within the self-funding industry as so many political forces are at work on the horizon.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / CopperBank Resources Corp. ("CopperBank" or the "Company") (CSE:CBK) is pleased to report ongoing progress in generating future exploration targets at its 100% owned Copper Ridge Prospect, located approximately one mile (1.6 km) southwest of its 100% owned pre-feasibility level Contact Copper Project. These projects encompass a contiguous 5,935 acres of private property and Bureau of Land Management holdings located in northeast Elko County, Nevada.

History of the Copper Ridge Prospect Area

The Copper Ridge prospect area was acquired by the previous operator, Enexco International (Enexco), in a September 26, 2011 land acquisition deal from Allied Nevada Gold Corp. Before the land acquisition, no field work was performed by Enexco in the Copper Ridge Prospect area. During the summer of 2012 Enexco collected a total of 28 samples over an area of approximately 1,000 acres (400 hectares) from outcrops with copper oxide showings. Copper oxides chrysocolla, cuprite, and tenorite were found in most locations sampled along with mineral textures indicative of hydrothermal alteration. On August 27, 2012, Enexco reported significant copper assays from the 28 samples, returning copper grades up to 12.4 percent. These results can be viewed in the news section of the Company website, with a reference date of June 7, 2016.

CopperBank CEO comments: "The Copper Ridge area continues to be an impressive exploration project that could unlock significant shareholder value. Our team's long history in the Contact area, combined with Elko County's vast exploration and mining culture, enable us to form various scenarios towards important next steps for the Copper Ridge inclusive of further optimizations at the Contact project area. With improving investor sentiment towards copper, and especially exploration, we want to highlight the various blue sky exploration opportunities that complement our later-stage development projects."

Next Steps And Options For Advancing The Copper Ridge Prospect

The positive results from the historical surface sampling supports further investigation towards future exploration drilling programs at the Copper Ridge and adjacent prospects. Due to the depressed copper pricing environment since the 2011 land acquisition and 2012 sampling program, the Copper Ridge Prospect area has not been drilled tested by the Company and historic activity is limited to small prospect pits and mine workings. The targets at the Copper Ridge Prospect are similar to the tabular sheeted vein systems encountered at the Contact Copper Project's historical reserve area. Exploration success in this area could provide additional copper oxide material for the Contact Copper Project, which has potential to produce 49 million pounds per year of electrolytic copper cathode as outlined in the historical 2013 Pre-feasibility Study. This study can be found on the CopperBank website in the Contact Project area.

Qualified Person

Enexco's samples from the Copper Ridge Area surface sampling program were prepared and analyzed by SGS Minerals Services in Vancouver, Canada, an ISO/IEC 17025 certified laboratory under supervision by Enexco's Qualified Person, William Willoughby, PhD, PE. Dr. Willoughby is a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and has approved the technical portions of this press release.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / The Zoracles development team has leveraged their innovative zero-knowledge range proofs to create a Zk-Snark for credit checks. Previously, the team released code for the derivatives market. That same function can be applied to creating on- chain credit checks by configuring Zoracles Protocol to retrieve an individual's credit score from the main reporting agencies.

Most blockchains present a challenge when it comes to protecting user privacy. Since all transactions are published on the ledger for anyone to read, there needs to be creative and innovative techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs to facilitate confidential transactions. Zoracles protocol enables confidential data to smart contracts with Zk-Snark technology and is extending that functionality to credit checks.

The implications of transmitting private credit scores on-chain should resonate with enterprises such as Credit Karma who have built a $7.1B business on providing credit scores and reports to consumers. Enterprises have struggled with adopting wider blockchain technologies due to the lack of privacy for their transactions. Zoracles Protocol plans to work with enterprises to ease the transition to blockchain with "Snarks as a Service."

The process to begin a Snark development request begins with acquiring a small governing position within the Zoracles Protocol. Enterprises will need a stake to procure the Zoracles development team to make an assessment of the functional requirements of the requester's business process. A scope of work is then created to map a custom Zk-Snark that will satisfy the business requirement for anonymity of blockchain data.

In the future, an enterprise will be able to acquire Zora that will be time-locked based on the Snark complexity. This ensures alignment between Zoracles governance and the "Snarks as a Service" client. Strategic partnerships of this variety will be instrumental in developing a portfolio of unique confidential DeFi use cases that can be utilized by various dApp protocols and enterprises.

Consumers will also benefit from confidential credit checks. Zoracles protocol roadmap includes developing a front-end tool to enable free credit checks without compromising one's credit history on the blockchain. The consumer will have the option of receiving their exact score or an assessment of "excellent, good, fair or bad credit."

The main suppliers of credit reports including Experian, Equifax and Trans Union may express interest in Zoracles Protocol "Snarks as a Service" as the trend to blockchain for enterprises expands with privacy technologies. According to MarketWatch, the global market for credit reporting is $15.17B in 2020 and will grow to $18.82B by 2026. This presents a sizeable opportunity for the Zoracles Protocol to provide innovation with cryptographic proofs that hide sensitive financial data.

Zoracles development team has open sourced their credit checking Zk-Snark solution which is very common in the blockchain space. This is one of the first real- world applications of their technology and may have widespread adoption if the trend from centralized finance to open financial networks continues to evolve.

The team is working with its second strategic partner to bring this Zk-Snark Credit Feature to Ethereum Mainnet by Q1 2021.

About Zoracles

Zoracles partners with DeFi projects using zero-knowledge proofs to provide confidential data to smart contracts. Their end-to-end solution entails VRFs to provide additional security measures for their "Snarks as a Service." Learn more by visiting Zoracles website https://zoracles.com .

GIBRALTAR / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / Gnosis, one of the earliest companies building on Ethereum, has announced the launch of GnosisDAO, the industry's first prediction market-driven collective. This will have the effect of progressively decentralizing Gnosis as a project using a native governance framework powered by their token economy, bringing governance to the coming internet of value.

Joined by the Gnosis Safe Multisig platform, the GnosisDAO will play an integral role in governing the Gnosis product suite, focused on creating decentralized products guided by the ‘value'-based approach of Futarchy, as defined by economics researcher Robin Hanson. The Gnosis ‘DAO of Value' will tap into the project's prediction market technology to transparently guide decisions on development, investments, and governance.

Prediction markets will be created using a new Gnosis Safe Multisig initially funded with 1,000 ETH and 20,000 GNO from the Gnosis treasury. Ultimately, GnosisDAO is to have effective control over 150K ETH and 8 Million GNO. In doing so, Gnosis intends to play a key role in the decentralization of technical and governance layers for products in the web3 ecosystem.

The team behind the venture has spent years developing the necessary technical building blocks to enable permissionless prediction markets, and has been instrumental in the success of platforms like Omen Prediction Markets. $1.24 million of DAI was placed in the Omen market predicting the outcome of the US presidential election.

Initially, GnosisDAO will take the form of a minimum viable futarchy network wherein proposals appear on theGnosis Forum, and GnosisDAO will fund prediction markets on final stage proposals. The prediction markets will provide DAO participants with an estimate of the potential price impact on GNO of a proposal, which can inform their decision-making. In addition to aligning development with the utilization of GNO, funding DAO prediction markets will progressively distribute the Gnosis treasury while potentially rewarding participants for signaling.

GnosisDAO will launch with several pending proposals in place including developing a SAFE governance token for the Gnosis Safe. In addition, members of the Gnosis community are invited to submit their own proposals. These could address such matters as the Ethereum Layer 2s Gnosis should utilize or a proposal for the exploration of yield farming.

The goal of GnosisDAO is to test the limits of what the world's first decentralized, permissionless, and prediction market-driven collective for resource allocation can do.

About Gnosis

Gnosis is the one of the first companies to build on Ethereum, having been founded in 2015 by Martin Köppelmann and Stefan George as part of ConsenSys, the globally leading Ethereum venture production studio. In April 2017, Gnosis raised funds and spun out of ConsenSys to become an independent company. Gnosis offers three leading product lines (prediction markets, DEXs, multisig platform) allowing users to securely create, trade, and hold crypto assets.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:VINO), a company with a growing collection of e-commerce and experiential luxury assets including Algodon Fine Wines, a high-end leather accessories label Gaucho – Buenos Aires, as well as substantial real estate holdings, today announces the addition of David Gilmour to its Board of Advisors. As an advisor, Mr. Gilmour will consult on Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc's consumer products, hospitality, and marketing, as the company endeavors to expand its global reach with the distribution of new health and wellness products to be launched in 2021.

Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. feels Mr. Gilmour is an ideal fit for its advisory board due his shared values of product quality and philosophy, and his broad experience and successes; including having founded Fiji Water, the health & wellness products of Wakaya Perfection, as well as for cofounding with Peter Munk one of the largest gold companies in the world, Barrick Gold, and South Pacific Hotel Corporation, one of the largest hotel chains in the south pacific. Mr. Gilmour has also won multiple awards for his product packaging and designs.

In the wake of the global pandemic, the world is looking more at health and wellness than ever before. With this in mind, Mr. Gilmour has taken a keen interest in Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc's subsidiaries, including Algodon Wine Estates' (www.algodonwineestates.com) wine, wellness, culinary and sport resort and e-commerce products, as well as its focus on promoting healthier lifestyles, wellness and rejuvenation of the mind, body and spirt. Algodon Wine Estates' 4,138 acre (1674 ha) world-class vineyard and luxury real estate development is located in the rolling hills of the Sierra Pintada Mountains in San Rafael, Mendoza, Argentina. The estate's 325 acres of vineyards, as well as its fruit orchards and olive groves, fed by the purest meltwater from the glacial Andes, produce exceptional fruit in a natural environment. These values are strongly aligned with Mr. Gilmour's own most recent venture of the pure, potent organic wellness products of Wakaya Perfection, LLC, a purveyor of high impact and high status nutritional products.

As a health and wellness advocate, Mr. Gilmour's Wakaya Perfection (www.wakaya.com) is a mission-driven wellness enterprise on the 2,200-acre island paradise of Wakaya in the Fiji archipelago which, due to its high-nutrient virgin volcanic soil, served as the brand's very first location in the cultivation of its exclusive formula. Volcanic soil is hailed for its purity and multi-faceted rejuvenating properties that can naturally enhance the quality of lives. The brand's production has since branched out to the main island of Fiji, as well as to Nicaragua, which possess the same high nutrient volcanic ash soil. The company continues to seek out the best volcanic ash soil in the world to continue cultivating products of the highest caliber and service global demand. Wakaya Perfection's product line includes hand-cultivated organic ginger, turmeric, teas, and sea salts, all indigenous to the island of Wakaya. Wakaya Perfection seeks to create the world's most powerful health and wellness commodities for the consumer of today seeking integrity in their product selection; from the quality of its source, to the soil it is grown in, and then on to the shelves. Wakaya Perfection products have been distributed through luxury hotels, resorts, fine-dining establishments and luxury department stores.

"I was pleased to accept the invitation to join the advisory board of Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc because after familiarizing myself with their various activities and assets, I've found they are engaged in areas that I have previously been involved and enjoyed developing and enhancing," says David Gilmour. "I look forward to working with Scott and his team while spiriting in a great future of growth together."

"We could not be more excited to have David join our Board of Advisors," says Scott Mathis, CEO & Chairman of Gaucho Group Holdings Inc. "We feel confident that with David's superb global, real-world experience, he will be a vital asset and advisor throughout our subsidiaries for his marketing, design, hospitality, and advice on the future of quality health and wellness products. We believe his guidance can have a profoundly positive impact on our businesses, and can perhaps be a catalyst to help Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. grow exponentially in the years ahead. I am hopeful this step is the very first in what we envision to be a long and growing relationship of delivering quality health and wellness options to the world. On a personal note, I am very happy to learn from one of the world's great entrepreneurs. I could not be more excited about 2021 and beyond, and about returning to a new normal in a post Covid world."

About Wakaya Perfection

Wakaya Perfection was founded by David H. Gilmour, founder of FIJI Water, and health and wellness advocate. The naturally harvested organic ginger, turmeric, sea salt and more, indigenous to the island of Wakaya, is hand-cultivated in virgin volcanic soil solely for its purity and multi-faceted rejuvenating properties that naturally enhance the quality of lives.

Production volumes are commonly expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") basis whereby natural gas volumes are converted at a ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil. The intention is to convert oil and natural gas measurement units into one basis for improved analysis of results and comparisons with other industry participants. The term BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalent method and does not represent an economic value equivalency at the wellhead.

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 2020 / Clothing company DSPLACE has started a revolution in the world of apparel by introducing a line of refined t-shirts featuring one of the most comfortable fabrics the world has ever known, the Golden Pima cotton. As a result of an odyssey of searching and sourcing, the brand founders have redefined luxury and added value to many people in the globe through their revolutionary product, creating a simple yet sophisticated everyday piece.

In the picture: (SHOOT FOR OASIS CAMPAIGN WEARING THE NOVA LONG SLEEVE TEE)

When many fashion brands rely on "air and hype" to create awareness in the market, the up-and-coming apparel brand looks to challenge the status quo by reviving a focus on high-quality and sustainable production top-tier materials. The company makes use of a rare material called Golden Pima Cotton from the deepest roots of Peru. The fabric industry characterizes the type of natural fiber for its durability and comfort. The result is a highly practical and versatile tee that brings maximum comfort, style, and value for money to its users.

DSPLACE started back in 2016 with the mission to raise the bar of the ready-to-wear industry by creating a fashion brand dedicated to reimagining staple pieces for everyday use. Founded by Venezuelan entrepreneurs Gustavo Deseda and Julio Fericelli, the owners seek to bridge the gap between standard and high-end garments with sustainability in mind. "This is what we think the future of the luxury industry is." share the apparel company's founders.

Their quest for the highest quality product led them worldwide to search for a concept that would reimagine and upgrade the idea of one of the most common attires: the everyday tee. That mission brought together the timeless workings of Pima cotton and the forward-thinking culture attached to the Italian microfiber known as ALCANTARA®.

In this picture: Founders scouting the best location for the OASIS campaign in the Pachacamac desert located in Peru.

Created "by the people and for the people," DSPLACE uses its platform and voice to challenge the fashion industry by injecting high-quality luxury products into the market while also emanating a progressive culture. Connected to that mission is a dedication toward sustainable processes. Through their ethical practices, the clothing brand seeks ways to advance thoughtful design causing no unnecessary harm to the environment.

One advocacy that the company carries is raising awareness against the harmful effects of the fur trade and the needless environmental sacrifice that large companies make toward endangered animals in the name of luxury.

TUCSON, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / The advent of technology in our progressing world has seen the creation of highly specific and functional models, which are constantly making an invaluable difference in the world.

In a highly digitized world, the typical consumer experience has completely transcended into a reality that had no possible ground even a few years ago.

Who would have thought that the insurance sector is also relying on technology? It is a conversation best hosted by Jeff Arnold. Arnold is often attributed as the Ambassador of the Insurance industry and remains a notable profile in insurance.

A Columbia dropout and an insurance prodigy

Arnold enrolled in the Leadership and Management School at Columbia University but dropped out shortly. He has served in the United States Army and took a shot at acting before landing an accidental opportunity in insurance.

With over 31 years of experience in the industry, Arnold is a leading personality whose expert insights on insurance are highly valued. He started back in the 90s with a start-up in Arizona, Western Pacific Insurance Brokerage. Here he led everything the old-fashioned way and experienced the real grind of running a start-up, managing through the intense pressure of competition, and having to face cold, hard rejections. However, Arnold recalls it as the most gifted learning experience of his career, which set his future.

His career reached a culmination in 2014 when he assumed the role of Chief Operating Officer at SILVERROCK GROUP, Inc. He led his role in acquiring building joint ventures with automobile dealerships, comparison websites, and insurance portals. The company mainly specialized in back end operations and quote conversions for insurance operations based on the internet.

Once again, in 2014, Jeff Arnold became the Chief Executive Officer of Abbey Road Insurance Holdings. Being the President and Chief Executive of two firms, Arnold's experience in the landscape of insurance is certainly gifted and puts him in a promising role for overseeing developments of policies and key strategies to harness the industry's potential.

Arnold often speaks on the assimilation of technology in the insurance world, with insurance companies taking the key steps of introducing practices, policies, and operational standards supported and programmed through the input of technology. He constantly argues that the main stakeholders in the future are Generation Z; they are more likely to be the important recipients of technology, and workplaces must introduce a culture that makes way for technology.

Besides, Arnold is the author of two important books, one of which has scored the no. 1 bestseller. The two books are "The Art of The Insurance Deal" and "How to Beat Your Insurance Company", respectively. The latter explores an unconventional subject and is targeted at the customers of insurance giants.

Jeff Arnold also avidly writes about InsureTech and the future of insurance on various platforms.
