PR Newswire

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Verizon and Newlab today announced results from the first cohort of companies testing new applications of 5G technology through the organizations’ 5G Studio. Earlier this year, Verizon and Newlab launched the 5G Studio to support the development of next-generation industry applications built on Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network.

To facilitate the 5G Studio, Verizon deployed 5G Ultra Wideband and mobile edge compute (MEC) at Newlab’s headquarters in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Leveraging access to 5G capabilities and Newlab’s advanced prototyping resources and product realization support, companies from Newlab’s vast member community and beyond have been able to showcase their technologies to address challenges across industries.

“Verizon seeks to empower innovation using the transformational power of Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband and MEC technologies,” said Elise Neel, VP of New Business Incubation at Verizon. “We are proud to collaborate with Newlab through the 5G Studio to enable leaders at the frontier of the fourth industrial revolution to leverage the extraordinary capabilities of 5G and edge computing to help create the products and ecosystems of the future.”

“5G technology and edge computing are ushering in an unprecedented era of innovation, with profound implications for how we will live and work,” said Shaun Stewart, CEO of Newlab. “Earlier this year, we proudly established the 5G Studio with Verizon, a collaboration intended to harness the immense potential of 5G advancements by providing critical support to companies applying technology to transform industry and society. The results produced by this year’s incredible cohort of 5G Studio companies is a testament to the enormous breadth of these solutions, to the cohort companies’ visions, and to the efficacy of Newlab’s Innovation Studio model in empowering entrepreneurial innovation.”

Amazon Now Carries RelSup Dietary Supplements

RelSup Proprietary Dietary Supplements Support Liver, Digestion, and Metabolic Health

PALM BEACH, FL, Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amazon, the largest online retailer, now carries Relsup’s dietary supplements.

“The RelSup team is excited that Amazon now offers our flagship supplements to its millions of customers,” said Steven Berens, president of RelSup, the U.S. distributor for nutritional supplements. “We are proud that Supracol, Artizak, Lactacol, and Hepazak are available on Amazon.”

RelSup, short for reliable supplements you can trust, has developed dietary supplements that help people stay healthy. RelSup supplements support a healthy lifestyle for people who want to avoid health problems and use quality products that address common health issues, such as lactose intolerance, liver support, and metabolic health.

Amazon now offers the following RelSup supplements:


  • Supracol
    , which targets the colon to support digestive function, contains butyric acid, prebiotics, and probiotics. The Supracol capsule is gastro-resistant, which prevents it from prematurely breaking down and targets the lower intestine.

  • Artizak
    , which supports digestive, liver, gallbladder, and metabolic function. Artizak contains a unique set of ingredients that include artichoke leaf extract, dandelion root extract, inositol, and choline dihydrogen. Artizak comes in a 10ml liquid foil pack.

  • Lactacol


     
    contains an enzyme, lactase, which aids in the digestion of dairy products.

  • Hepazak
    , which supports a healthy liver and detoxification, provides unique ingredients that promote liver injury protection, contains a potent antioxidant, reduces acidosis, and aids in eliminating dyspeptic disorders. Hepazak comes in a 10ml liquid foil pack.

RelSup introduced these products as more Americans are taking dietary supplements than ever before.

Berens said 73 percent of American adults increasingly seek out supplements to support their health regimen.

“We know buying dietary supplements was on the upswing before COVID-19,” Berens said. “The pandemic, however, pushed more people to think about their health and ask themselves, ‘How can I give my body the nutrients it needs to stay physically fit.”

Berens said the coronavirus crisis has led American consumers to take proactive steps to stay healthy.

“People don’t want to wait until they have health issues. People want to avoid health problems and not wait until they have to get healthy after getting sick,” Berens said. “They want effective supplements. They want supplements they can trust. They will find RelSup supplements are effective and trustworthy.

Feedzai launches new solution to democratize the fight against financial crime


  • “Feedzai 
    Solutions” will support digital-first evolution for financial institutions of all sizes using a cloud-only environment

  • Over 40% of
    Feedzai
    customers already benefit from cloud-based solutions

  • New offering doubles-down on deployment
    agility, operational efficiency, industry expertise, and affordability while offering an out-of-the-box experience

SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Feedzai announced today its new fully packaged Feedzai Solutions that can assess risk for single and cross-channel transactions in real-time. With the configuration of machine learning models taking just days instead of months, and a comprehensive library of out-of-the-box scenarios, the new offering presents itself as an agile, easy to deploy, and low resource solution for financial institutions of all sizes that are looking to better protect their customers with quicker time to value.

Feedzai helps financial institutions’ digital-first evolution by leveraging tech components especially critical during a severe digital acceleration journey amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The solution scalability allows financial institutions to improve time to market, while the cloud-based approach enables lightweight flexibility to transform and keep up with customer expectations. Additionally, best-in-class detection capabilities and real-time scoring help financial institutions to filter both new COVID-19 created and old fraudsters.

Cloud-based solutions have always been part of Feedzai’s enterprise portfolio with multiple deployments in all geographies and over 40% of the customers benefiting from it. Recently, this shift has intensified with more than 70% of Feedzai customers in the last 10 months – including globally-recognized Banks and Fintechs – choosing hosted cloud deployments. With this new offering, Feedzai leverages years of experience in operating some of the largest risk management projects across industries in a cloud environment, while also offering access to cutting edge risk management technology that otherwise would only be available to large financial institutions.

Best-in-Class Detection

  • Using Feedzai’s best-in-class technology as a framework, financial institutions of every size can now detect financial crime more efficiently by benefiting from advanced machine learning algorithms and segment-of-one profiling capabilities while also accessing one of the most comprehensive fraud networks in the world.

Operational Efficiency Boost

  • Rather than relying on multiple tools for each individual customer touchpoint, Feedzai’s all-in-one fraud prevention tool ensures that teams can manage risk exposure across the entire customer journey. One consistent tool enables straightforward maintenance, upgrades, data integrations, and orchestration.

Lightweight, Easy-to-Man
age, Tangible ROI

  • Feedzai provides an out-of-the-box, cloud-based solution that can perform in days, not months, allowing customers to benefit from finely-tuned model performance on day one. Rather than spending critical time and significant resources in the configuration stage, risk management teams are now able to achieve tangible ROI in a short amount of time. Best-practice APIs that collect the necessary data for its workflows are also available in the new solution. ISO8583 and ISO20022 compatible APIs allow Feedzai to easily plug into the Financial Institution’s ecosystem.

Customer-centric Experience

  • Truly seamless multi-channel experiences by gathering real-time data and using analytics to understand the customer journey and allow financial institutions to have visibility on the entire risk management cycle.
  • According to Aite, “the scalability of Feedzai’s offering to support a high volume with low latency, as well as the platform’s ability to crunch an enormous amount of data from multiple touchpoints, are also cited as key strengths by a couple of the executives interviewed.” In one bank executive’s words, “Feedzai was built from ground up with scalability and big data in mind, versus others who are trying to adapt legacy technology to bring these in.”

Turnkey Compliance

  • Models, configurations, and best-practices are pre-packaged and comply with regulations such as OCC 2011, SR 11-7, and other legal guidelines. Additionally, Feedzai monitors and explains the system’s overall behavior while providing full autonomy when informing regulators what profiles and features have been created and why decisions were made, thus enhancing transparency and explainability.

Ful
l Risk Life Cycle Orchestration

  • Feedzai’s risk orchestration approach offers unified risk tools and a reporting framework that facilitates operational gains across business lines, a particularly important challenge during COVID time where teams are looking to overcome inefficiencies. Feedzai’s new offering propels a cohesive risk strategy that, at its core, collates information from all perspectives into a single unified decision. Feedzai’s Full Risk Lifecycle Orchestration approach also increases scoring and internal monitoring accuracy, allowing small to midsize teams to discover and stop previously hidden financial crime.

“
Feedzai
now serves over 800 million customers in 190 countries, but our aspirations do not stop there. We believe that by democratizing the fight against financial c
rime and making AI available to a variety of financial institutions that otherwise wouldn’t have access to it, we’re allowing risk management to become a level-playing field,”
said Pedro
Barata

CME Group Announces 17th Annual Student Trading Challenge Winner – the First from Latin America

Innovative global markets competition aims to educate and inspire future finance professionals

PR Newswire

CHICAGO, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CME Group, the world’s leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced the winners of its 17th annual CME Group University Trading Challenge, including the first-place winners from the University of Antioquia in Medellín, Colombia. They are the first team from Latin America to win the global challenge.  

This year’s competition saw participation from more than 500 teams, made up of more than 2,000 graduate and undergraduate students from more than 30 countries around the world. The free, four-week trading competition is open exclusively to teams of currently enrolled students, offering them a chance to learn hands-on techniques for trading futures across all major asset classes on CQG‘s real-time simulated electronic trading platform. Throughout the challenge, students also learned about market events by accessing live Dow Jones newsfeeds and The Hightower Report. 

“Our annual Trading Challenge is an opportunity to educate the next generation of finance professionals about the importance of derivatives markets in the global economy,” said Anita Liskey, CME Group Senior Managing Director of Corporate Marketing and Communications. “Collaborative, online learning experiences are more important than ever in today’s virtual environment, and this year’s strong turnout was a testament to that. We are proud to facilitate a unique platform for thousands of students from all over the world to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world challenges.”

“We would like to congratulate the winning team and honor all students who participated in this year’s Trading Challenge,” said Ryan Moroney, CQG’s President of Europe and the Americas. “CQG remains committed to educating the next generation of derivatives traders. Just like many professional traders, the competition offers students the ability to make trading decisions based on real-time data from CME Group, combined with CQG’s analytics, real-time news feed and commentary, and executed with CQG’s premier trade routing technology.”

“This victory is a source of great pride for the University of Antioquia, and we hope it will contribute to increase the international reputation of Medellín as a South American center of innovation,” said Professor of Physics Antonio Enea Romano, faculty advisor for the first-place team. “This is our second year participating in the challenge, so we were able to leverage our previous experience and grow from our mistakes. We are proud to have the opportunity to show how versatile and successful students with a physics background can be. You don’t need a finance degree to understand global markets, especially with so many educational tools and resources available.”

Students on the following top five winning teams are eligible to receive a cash prize and are invited to attend a one-day, virtual market education conference in December.
