Diginex launches Front-to-Back Digital Assets Trading, Portfolio Management and Risk Platform Powered by Itiviti

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, Feb. 17, 2021 — Diginex Limited (Nasdaq: EQOS), the digital assets financial services company, and Itiviti, a leading technology and service provider to financial institutions worldwide, today announced the launch of ‘Access’, a front-to-back trading, portfolio, and risk management solution that enables the trading of cryptocurrencies and crypto derivatives across several platforms.

Access is powered by Itiviti’s Tbricks, an award-winning trade automation technology and infrastructure that is recognized globally as one of the most popular institutional trading platforms available.

Access provides investors with an aggregated order book across exchanges, and the ability to ensure best execution across their previously disparate liquidity pools. Execution, order and portfolio management are streamlined for investors through a robust front, middle, back office with real time risk and P&L.

Tbricks is a next-generation, cross-asset trading system optimized for low latency, high throughput and scalability. Already in use with many tier one sell-side firms and banks, today’s launch will mean that clients of these firms will now have instant ability to trade crypto currencies and manage their risk and portfolio in the same way as any other traditional asset classes.

Richard Byworth, CEO of Diginex, commented: "This launch provides yet another onramp for institutional adoption of Bitcoin and Digital Assets. Itiviti has a proven track record in providing market leading technology for traditional asset classes to both buy-side and sell-side institutional investors. Diginex brings many years of experience in crypto and digital assets combined with a robust approach to compliance and risk management."

Continued Byworth: "We see increasing demand for cryptocurrency exposure from institutional investors and believe this will be a dominant theme in 2021. With the launch of Access, investors can now manage their portfolios using institutional technology that is tailored specifically for cryptocurrencies."

"We are excited to announce our growing partnership with Diginex," said Rob Mackay, CEO of Itiviti. "With the integration and launch of Access on Tbricks, trading across different crypto exchanges will now be open to institutional investors across the globe and expose them to Itiviti’s advanced automated trading technology."

Leave a comment

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 17, 2021 — Pearl Abyss announced today that the new Archer class has finally arrived along with his awakened form Fletcher in Black Desert Mobile. To celebrate the arrival of this class, Adventurers can get various special rewards that will help them grow their new characters faster for a limited time. 

New Class Archer and Awakened Form Fletcher Now Available in Black Desert Mobile
New Class Archer and Awakened Form Fletcher Now Available in Black Desert Mobile

Starting today, Adventurers who play the new class can now choose between Archer, which is both the original and Ascended form of this class, or Fletcher, the class’s Awakened form. Both are bow wielders but have completely different combat styles. 

The Archer’s main weapon is the Crossbow. Attached to his arm for maximum speed and agility, this main weapon makes the Archer faster than any other class in Black Desert Mobile. A divine gauntlet, the Ra’ghon, gives him the power of light, which allows him to fire magical arrows to rain down deadly damage upon his enemies.

The Fletcher, on the other hand, uses the Greatbow as his main weapon, which shoots large, spear-like arrows called Divine Piercers that cast fatal damage to enemies. He can track down enemies from afar with this weapon set, earning him the title of the "Overseer of Battle." 

To celebrate the arrival of the Archer and Fletcher, special login rewards will be available, including a Level 60 Character Generator Coupon, a Tier 5 Panda, and an Abyssal Accessory Selection Chest. These rewards will help Adventurers level up their characters quickly.

Last but not least, all gear and equipment can now be used by Adventurers regardless of their Black Spirit’s Awakening level. With this update, everyone can start equipping high-grade gear and weapons to take on more difficult challenges.

The collaboration between the musée du Louvre and CASETiFY introduces some of the most recognized artwork in the world to the global case brand’s premium tech accessories.
The collaboration between the musée du Louvre and CASETiFY introduces some of the most recognized artwork in the world to the global case brand’s premium tech accessories.

Inspired by the museum’s extraordinary impact and cultural influence, CASETiFY’s direction for the tech accessory collection leans into its often recognized "normcore" style, paying homage to celebrated classic art.

For more information on the collection, the brand CASETiFY, its partners and products, please visit www.CASETiFY.com.

More about the Louvre’s masterpieces used in the collection:

Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo, known as the Mona Lisa (the Joconde in French), Leonardo da Vinci.

This portrait was created in Florence around 1503. It is thought to be of Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine cloth merchant named Francesco del Giocondo – hence the alternative title, La Gioconda. However, Leonardo seems to have taken the completed portrait to France rather than giving it to the person who commissioned it. After his death, the painting entered François I’s collection.

Aphrodite, known as the "Venus de Milo"

This graceful statue of a goddess has intrigued and fascinated many since its discovery on the island of Melos in 1820. Is it Aphrodite, who was often portrayed half-naked, or the sea goddess Amphitrite, who was venerated by Melos? The statue reflects sculptural research during the late Hellenistic Period: classical in essence, with innovative features such as the spiral composition, the positioning in space, and the fall of the drapery over the hips.

La Grande Odalisque, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres

Ingres transposed the theme of the mythological nude, whose long tradition went back to the Renaissance, to an imaginary Orient. This work, his most famous nude, was commissioned by Caroline Murat, Napoleon’s sister and the queen of Naples. Here, Ingres painted a nude with long, sinuous lines bearing little resemblance to anatomical reality, but rendered the details and texture of the fabrics with sharp precision. This work drew fierce criticism when it was displayed at the Salon of 1819.

Liberty Leading the People (July 28, 1830), Eugène Delacroix

The Paris uprising of July 27, 28, and 29, 1830, known as the Trois Glorieuses ("Three Glorious Days"), was initiated by the liberal republicans for violation of the Constitution by the Second Restoration government. Charles X, the last Bourbon king of France, was overthrown and replaced by Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans. Delacroix, who witnessed the uprising, perceived it as a modern subject for a painting; the resulting work reflects the same romantic fervor he had applied to Massacre at Chios, a painting inspired by the Greek war of independence.

Built on a mission to connect individuals through their tech accessories, CASETiFY now serves as the leading Gen Z brand, delivering personalized cases to millions of customers around the world.

About the Musée du Louvre

Royal palace turned universal museum in 1793, the Louvre has been at the core of French history for over eight centuries. Today, it features some of the finest collections in the world, spanning 9 thousand years and 5 continents.

Menarini Silicon Biosystems announces launch of CellMag™ product line offering affordable Gold Standard Circulating Tumor Cells capture

Leave a comment

CELLMAG – a cost effective, manual and simple approach for the enrichment and staining of extremely rare cells from blood

BOLOGNA, Italy and HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa., Feb. 16, 2021 — Menarini Silicon Biosystems, a pioneer of liquid biopsy and single cell technologies, announced today the launch of its innovative CellMag product line for the manual enrichment and staining of rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs). This new product line, composed of the CellMag CTC Epithelial Cell kit, a magnetic tool and consumables, will allow all liquid biopsy and CTCs Laboratories to have access to a manual system using the same ferrofluid technology offered by the Gold Standard CELLSEARCH system.

This easy to use technology offers researchers who work on translational projects a reliable tool to study the heterogeneous biology of CTCs, whose presence in blood has been associated with poor prognosis in metastatic carcinomas[1].

Despite different available methods to capture CTCs, only the information obtained from CTCs that have been captured by the CELLSEARCH ferrofluid technology have shown a robust clinical value in different settings[1]. Research laboratories will appreciate the convenience, simplicity and affordability of CellMag. Researchers can analyze and characterize enriched CTCs from a molecular perspective with a high level of specificity, gaining valuable insights into how certain tumors progress and disseminate throughout the body. "CellMag is a manual system for the capture and enhancement of CTCs using the established ferrofluid technology. Perfectly tailored to our research needs, it offers a manual version of the reference CELLSEARCH platform," said Dr. Catherine Alix-Panabières, Associate Professor and Director of the Laboratory of Rare Human Circulating Cells (LCCRH) at the University Medical Center of Montpellier, France.

The CellMag CTC Ephitelial Cell kit allows research centers, focusing on liquid biopsies, to conduct highly specific, established and standardized immunomagnetic enrichment and staining of CTCs in peripheral blood. Following the positive selection of enriched cells, performed by capturing cells through ferrofluids labeled with antibodies that target the (EpCAM) antigen, the staining procedure delivers cells that are ready for enumeration, isolation and downstream analysis. The final step of cell sorting can be performed by the DEPArray system or other downstream applications including flow cytometry, fluorescent microscopy or molecular and phenotype analyses.

For Fabio Piazzalunga, President and CEO of Menarini Silicon Biosystems: "Our manual CellMag product line allows all liquid biopsy and CTCs Laboratories to reach high specificity in cell enrichment and staining, leveraging the established CELLSEARCH ferrofluid technology. With this simple and standardized solution we are committed to helping all researchers develop scientific understanding and improve medical knowledge related to human diseases." 

The CellMag product line family will be expanded in the coming months to offer a series of additional kits for the enrichment of other rare cell types.

About CELLMAG™

CELLMAG is intended for Research Use Only (RUO) – not for use in diagnostic procedures. This product line allows for highly specific and standardized cell enrichment and staining. Cells captured with the CellMag technology are comparable to those captured with the CELLTRACKS® AUTOPREP® System. The product line is composed of an epithelial CTC kit, for ferrofluid-based EpCAM positive CTC enrichment, a magnetic tool and consumables. The process involves a sample preparation phase, followed by the magnetic separation of CTCs, sample washing, permeabilization and staining.

For more information on the CELLMAG product line, please refer to www.siliconbiosystems.com/cellmag

About Menarini Silicon Biosystems

Menarini Silicon Biosystems offers unique rare cell technologies and solutions that provide clinical researchers with access to unparalleled resolution in the study of cells and their molecular characterization.

Menarini Silicon Biosystems, based in Bologna, Italy, and Huntingdon Valley, Pa., U.S., is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Menarini Group, a multinational pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostics company headquartered in Florence, Italy, with more than 17,000 employees in 140 countries.

Revolut Junior: The Financial App for Children Parents Didn’t Know They Needed

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, Feb. 15, 2021 — The average child in Singapore starts receiving pocket money at 7 years old. This is the perfect age for parents to begin engaging their children in conversations about money. Enter Revolut Junior ("Junior") the financial app designed for kids but controlled by a parent or a legal guardian.

Revolut Junior––already launched in more than 30 markets globally––is now available to Revolut customers and their children/wards in Singapore.

A customer who holds an account with Revolut Singapore ("Revolut") can set up a Junior account for free. Revolut Standard customers can set up 1 complimentary Junior account, Revolut Premium customers can set up 2 complimentary Junior accounts, and Revolut Metal customers can set up 5 complimentary Junior accounts. They will also be able to order a specially designed Revolut Junior Visa debit card for their child/ward.

So, just what is it about Revolut Junior that makes it a must-have for both parents and children?

1. It gives parents a great opportunity to talk to their children about money

As society becomes increasingly cashless, children may become less aware of the role that money plays in their everyday lives. Is money a purely digital concept? An infinite resource?

Parents can draw parallels between the money deposited in their child’s Junior account and their own salary credits, to educate their children on the importance of earning and managing money, and demonstrate the concept of opportunity cost.

2. It helps children understand the difference between a Need and a Want

Revolut’s popular digital money tools have been adapted to make learning fun for youngsters. Revolut Premium and Metal customers will have access to additional features on the Revolut app, such as "Tasks" and "Goals", to inspire their children to work towards and save up for a goal. Using this feature, parents can assign a task (and corresponding e-money reward) to their child. When the child checks off the task as "complete" on their Revolut Junior app, parents simply have to acknowledge this on their own Revolut app and the promised reward is transferred to the Junior account. Seeing their account balance go up is a great way to reinforce a child’s habit-reward loop.

If the youngster desires a big ticket item, e.g., an electric guitar, parents/guardians can agree to meet them halfway and have them save up a portion of the cost as a Goal. Revolut Junior empowers children to make independent financial decisions while giving parents a way to track and manage security settings remotely.

3. It gives your child visibility about their money

Children signed up with a Junior account will have the option of downloading the Revolut Junior app on a smartphone.They will be able to access this and personally observe their account balance go up and down. Unlike more traditional offerings, the Revolut Junior app is designed with children in mind for easy and tactile use!

The parent’s Revolut app should ideally be used in tandem with the Revolut Junior app. Children can track, "earn", and manage their allowances while their parents will be able to add and withdraw money, utilise security features (such as the ability to freeze/unfreeze the Junior card), and appoint a Co-Parent to give another adult the ability to control the Junior account.

For more information about Revolut Junior and the applicable terms and conditions, please visit https://www.revolut.com/en-SG/legal/revolut-junior . Revolut Junior is available to all Revolut customers in Singapore, please ensure your app is updated to the latest version.

Safer medical devices with Picosun’s antimicrobial ALD coatings

Leave a comment

ESPOO, Finland, Feb. 13, 2021 — Picosun Group, the leading provider of AGILE ALD® (Atomic Layer Deposition) thin film coating technology and solutions, reports excellent aseptic properties measured from its ALD materials.

Numerous ALD oxide coatings deposited with Picosun’s processes showed remarkable reduction of microbial growth and had low values of bacterial endotoxin contamination(*). The coatings were characterized by an independent third party laboratory according to ISO 22196:2011 antimicrobial standard and ANSI/AAMI ST72:2019 bacterial endotoxin standards. These results, along with the earlier tests validating the non-cytotoxicity of Picosun’s ALD films, prove the safety and aseptic benefits of these materials in medical devices, both implanted and external ones.

Millions of people worldwide live with medical implants and the trend is towards even more complex solutions that combine highly advanced microelectronics with miniaturized devices embedded into sensitive areas of the body such as brain, spine, eyes, and heart. Protecting these devices from the corrosive environment of the human body, and vice versa, is of utmost importance considering the safety, correct operation, and lifetime of the implant.

Picosun is the trailblazer in providing medical ALD solutions to device manufacturers. Picosun’s ultra-thin, biocompatible ALD coatings guarantee hermetic encapsulation of the implanted device, with a fraction of film thickness compared to other coating methods and with superior film uniformity and conformality, ensuring pinhole-free coverage over even the smallest details of the device. Extended lifetime and operational reliability of the implant reduces the need for corrective or replacement surgeries, thus saving expensive hospital stays and improving the patient’s quality of life. For manufacturers, hermetic protective coating enables use of more common base materials, e.g. stainless steels instead of precious metals, which in turn makes the manufacturing process easier and saves costs.

"The aseptic properties of our ALD films are so excellent that they surpass even the strictest requirements of the medical implant industry. We are excited to bring our new, advanced medical ALD solutions to the market and help our customers keep spearheading their industries with safer, longer-lasting and user-friendly products," states Juhani Taskinen, Head of Medical Business Area of Picosun Group.

Picosun provides the most advanced AGILE ALD® (Atomic Layer Deposition) thin film coating solutions for global industries. Picosun’s ALD solutions enable technological leap into the future, with turn-key production processes and unmatched, pioneering expertise in the field – dating back to the invention of the technology itself. Today, PICOSUN® ALD equipment are in daily manufacturing use in numerous leading industries around the world.

Latest platform developments bring retailers greater flexibility and control over creation and delivery of interactive e-commerce experiences

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 13, 2021 — Bambuser today announced the launch of new dual host broadcasting capabilities and compatibility with external cameras and software, two in-demand features that give brands and retailers greater flexibility and control over their Live Video Shopping productions. The product updates closely follow several other major platform enhancements released to help customers increase awareness of and drive traffic to their interactive e-commerce initiatives. 

Dual Hosting for Split Screen Broadcasting
Bambuser’s Dual Hosting solves production challenges posed by stay-at-home recommendations and social distancing requirements, enabling Live Video Shopping events to have hosts and guests in different locations. As part of the Broadcaster app for iOS, Dual Hosting enables brands and retailers to easily produce shows featuring different hosts, guests and other influencers, each from a different location. The platform currently supports two simultaneous connections without lag, quality degradation or interruption to the platform’s e-commerce functionality. 

During extensive beta testing, Bambuser observed lifts in viewer engagement metrics such as the quantity of activities in the live chat during shows that leveraged dual hosting. The company attributes this improved performance to the more immersive and conversational nature of the split screen, dual host experience. 

Bambuser’s dual host broadcasting is currently in final testing and will be rolling out broadly within the next couple of months. To see how the dual host streaming works, check out this video: http://bmb.sr/dual. 

External Camera Compatibility
Expanding on the platform’s extensive mobile capabilities, Bambuser now supports the use of external hardware and software in show production. By leveraging Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), Bambuser now provides brands and retailers with more opportunities to create shows using the cameras and other tools of their choosing. With this added flexibility, they have more opportunity to deliver unique experiences and polished programs in line with their brands.

"Every day, our development team focuses on anticipating the needs of our customers as well as our customers’ customers. We’re incredibly proud to announce dual hosting and external camera compatibility, as we believe these features deliver benefit to both those groups," said Jesper Funck, Chief Product Officer at Bambuser. For our retail and brand partners, we’re giving more power to customize the format and production quality of their shows. For their customers who participate in Live Video Shopping, we’re offering more engaging and interactive experiences that are consistently the highest quality possible."

A pioneer in live video streaming since inception in 2007, Bambuser is pursuing an aggressive product development strategy to ensure the platform remains the most feature rich and robust available. The company is leveraging the recent investment of $60 million from renowned fashion and technology investor Anders Holch Povlsen along with Lancelot Asset Management AB, TIN Fonder and Handelsbanken Fonder, to accelerate its timeline for rolling out new capabilities.

BEIJING, Feb. 12, 2021 — The Chinese New Year 2021 is special due to the COVID-19 pandemic which is not over yet.

A notice was issued a few weeks ago encouraging people to stay where they work and live during the 2021 Spring Festival holiday, from Feb. 11 to 17, to reduce the risk of the virus spreading. 

Beijing, with a permanent migrant population of nearly 10 million, is ready to accommodate the people with a hearty and homelike reception.

The Beijing Municipal Government has rolled out measures to ensure those who stay in the city enjoy the Spring Festival, including issuing shopping coupons and free entrance tickets. Besides, mobile phone users in Beijing are eligible for receiving 20 gigabyte free data packages during the festival.

Tens of millions of its citizens will be benefited by these favorable policies.  

"We will be rehearsing and practicing during the Spring Festival," said Song Yan, a Peking Opera performer with 40 years’ experience. His Peking Opera troupe have also arranged festive performances in smaller venues to celebrate the New Year.

Josh Dominick works as a volunteer in a non-profit group to help the disabled. He has been living in Beijing for 20 years. "Making dumplings is like everything else. Practice always makes perfect. I hope that the dumplings I make this year will not fall apart," he said.

Yang Jiaxi (nicknamed Qiuqiu), an eight-year-old ice hockey player, has been playing ice hockey for more than four years. Now, he attends ice hockey training twice a week, even during the Spring Festival and dreams to become an excellent ice hockey player in the future.

Produced by the Information Office of Beijing Municipal Government, the seven-episode "I am in Beijing for Spring Festival" video series will show you how people from different countries and different backgrounds spend their Spring Festival in Beijing.
