(CONIX) has enabled financial institutions and payment processors to aggregate payment anomalies in a shared SaaS database. Creating a shared national duplicate and fraud detection database is imperative in meeting the challenges of today's increasing payment alternatives.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-1104-conix_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="CONIX Systems, Inc." title="CONIX Systems, Inc." class="alignright" align="right" />MANCHESTER, Vt., Feb. 22, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; With FFIEC compliance in force, operating efficiency paramount, and fraud evolving rapidly, <a href="http://www.conix.com/">CONIX Systems</a>, Inc. (CONIX) has enabled financial institutions and payment processors to aggregate payment anomalies in a shared SaaS database. Creating a shared national duplicate and fraud detection database is imperative in meeting the challenges of today&#8217;s increasing payment alternatives. </p>
<p>To that end, CONIX, a leading international provider of payment processing solutions to the financial services industry, has developed an integrated duplicate detection and fraud detection system that can be implemented as an in-house solution. This system also enables payment processors to provide hosted solutions to financial institutions. </p>
<p>&#8220;Inter-bank payment data sharing has been a common industry vision to police fraud for generations,&#8221; said CONIX CEO Mike Charles. &#8220;It was not so long ago that banks shared payment data via tapes or diskettes. We&#8217;ve simply taken a proven industry protocol for collaboration and updated it to the quintessential 21st century venue. Moving into a shared environment enables financial institutions to identify and resolve duplicate payments and fraud suspects across the payments industry in Day 1 prior to posting.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since launching its automated enterprise duplicate detection solution <a href="http://www.conix.com/Products/dd.asp">Dupe Detective</a>(R) in 2005, CONIX has concentrated on helping financial institutions and payment processors adapt to the shift toward electronic payment types. In 2010, based on the challenges of its customers, CONIX launched <a href="http://www.conix.com/Products/fraudDetective.asp">Fraud Detective</a>(R). Like Dupe Detective, Fraud Detective processes payments from all payment sources and channels, including image exchange, ACH, RDC, and Mobile Capture. In tandem, Dupe Detective and Fraud Detective enable Day 1 identification and disposition of duplicate payments, fraud suspects, and other critical anomalies in a common rules-based review process. Both products are designed to run in an ASP environment.</p>
<p>&#8220;CONIX provides the unique infrastructure needed for a national duplicate detection and fraud detection database serving the banking and payment processing industries. We have created Day 1 payment processing software and services for top-tier financial institutions and payment processors for more than two decades. We have developed and delivered server-based solutions to the industry that are unsurpassed in performance and quality because we keep our ear to the ground and value our customers&#8217; input,&#8221; said CONIX Managing Director of Sales, Steve Fortson. </p>
<p>These integrated systems share CONIX Systems&#8217; browser-based interface, providing authorized system access from anywhere. Through this interface, users can define and manage a bank&#8217;s business rules and filters, and review and decision suspects. Full audit and detailed reporting is also provided. </p>
<p>Enterprise duplicate and fraud detection enables the resolution of payment anomalies prior to posting and sending transit work for collection. The CONIX solution reduces a financial institution&#8217;s research and adjustments caseload, ensures that customer accounts are never affected, and supports loss prevention. A national database will effectively eliminate duplicate events in all inter-bank transactions, and provide an environment in which institutions can &#8220;connect the dots&#8221; on payment fraud schemes.</p>

A local celebration will be held on Saturday, March 3: &#8220;Beauty Inside Out Fierce You&#8221; is an event for professional and entrepreneurial women to attend, be empowered, gain personal and business insight through educational seminars, have fun with fashion and build their business networks.</p>
<p>During an equally powerful after-event workshop on Saturday March 3 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dallas, author and former Texas child bride Dr. Trevicia Williams will extend education and empowerment to mothers and teen daughters while addressing the alarming statistic that Dallas Texas is #1 in the nation for repeat teen pregnancies.</p>
<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancies teen pregnancies in the U.S. is declining; however, Texas is still number 3 in the nation for teen births.</p>
<p>In the spirit of prevention and healthy relationships, Dr. Trevicia Williams designed the free &#8220;Real Beauty Inside Out&#8221; workshop for mothers and teen daughters to communicate, connect, build, bond and grow as a result of the interactive intervention.</p>
<p>&#8220;Getting through the &#8216;I Love You But I Can&#8217;t Stand You Right Now&#8217; time in the relationship can be tough,&#8221; says Dr. Trevicia Williams. Mothers and teen daughters will learn tools for effective communication and the fundamentals of building healthy relationships.</p>
<p>The workshop will also empower mothers and teen daughters during the sometimes stressful and rebellious teen years, says Dr. Trevicia Williams. This limited seating free workshop draws participants from the Dallas, Highland Park and Frisco Independent School Districts.</p>
<p>&#8220;Communication is the lifeline of all relationships and this workshop helps mothers and daughters open up,&#8221; says Dr. Trevicia Williams.</p>
<p>Psychologist, talk show host and author of child bride memoir, &#8220;There Are Pearls In The Pain of Every Experience&#8221; (ISBN: 978-0974351988), Dr. Trevicia Williams ( <a href="http://www.treviciawilliams.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.treviciawilliams.com" target="_blank">http://www.treviciawilliams.com</a> ), is on a mission to empower girls and women worldwide. From Texas child bride and teen mother to life strategist, Dr. Trevicia shares hard-earned wisdom and real-life strategies that inspire teens and motivate parents to unleash their power to communicate, realize their self-worth, build healthier relationships and realize their fullest potentials.</p>
<p>Dr. Trevicia Williams echoes Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew in questioning the effectiveness of reality shows like Teen Mom and MTV&#8217;s 16 and Pregnant. The shows focus on the realities of teens during adolescent years and the pains of growing up while being pregnant, but, simultaneously, seem to glamourize teen pregnancy.</p>
<p>&#8220;Leah Messer and Chelsea Houska teen mom reality stories can be prevented: Teens should stay teen. We should encourage children to be children, girls to be girls and boys to be boys, while they are children,&#8221; says Williams.</p>

<p>&#8220;Understanding Satisfaction with the Donor Experience&#8221;</p>
<p>Hamilton will join CMI client Angie Moore, senior vice president, CRM at Merkle, Inc. They will discuss the importance of constituent satisfaction and how it is imperative for nonprofit organizations in order to generate greater financial returns and improve donor retention.</p>
<p>Hamilton and Moore will share new results from a groundbreaking study that marries constituent attitudes with their giving behavior. The study was conducted across four health charities to provide a rich understanding of the nonprofit landscape. They will address the primary drivers of positive and negative experiences and how improvement in these areas equates to increased retention, donations and overall constituent value. Also, attendees will learn how this information can be used to prioritize marketing investments for the greatest gains with specific targeted donor segments.</p>

In fact, using effective segmentation strategies to understand donors and their decisions is key to growing and retaining a donor base without breaking the bank.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/12-0222-bonnefoib_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="Bonne Foi Beauty" title="Bonne Foi Beauty" class="alignright" align="right" />HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Feb. 22, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Bonne Foi Beauty Products, an anti-aging skin care line, today, releases its Nourishing Face Cream which will further enhance the Bonne Foi line.</p>
<p>Created primarily for night time use, the <a href="http://www.bonne-foi.com/face-treatment">Nourishing Face Cream</a> will nourish, rejuvenate and moisturize your face, firming your skin and improving its overall appearance. Those with particularly dry skin or those who live in very cold climates may wish to use it as a day cream as well.</p>
<p>Its main ingredients include white shea butter, beeswax and seaweed extract. In clinical trials, shea butter was found to moisturize the outer layer of skin, protect against climate and UV aggressions, and prevent wrinkle formations. The seaweed extract, found in many of our products, is what helps firm skin, restore elasticity, and improves the complexion providing a more youthful skin tone. </p>
<p>Bonne Foi&#8217;s Nourishing Face Cream does not contain any petroleum by-products or mineral oil as these ingredients can clog pores, suffocate skin, and cause premature aging.</p>
<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/12-0222-bonnefoi_72dpi.jpg" align="left" style="margin-right:20px;" alt="" />The chemist that formulated the Nourishing Face Cream had been developing <a href="http://www.bonne-foi.com%20">anti-aging products</a> for more than a decade when he began developing the Bonne Foi line of products. The formula is based on the theory developed by Dr. Peter Agre, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2003 for his ground-breaking discovery of aquaporins which is used in the Bonne Foi product line. Aquaporins allow anti-aging and nourishing ingredients to penetrate skin down to the cell level.</p>
<p>Bonne Foi anti-aging skin care products are specially formulated to work for people of all ethnicities and on a wide variety of skin types and tones. This Nourishing Face Cream completes our night-time skin care regimen. </p>

<p><strong>About Bonne Foi Beauty:</strong><br />
Bonne Foi Beauty is based in Huntington Beach, California, and began formulating anti-aging skin care products in 2010. Based on Nobel Prize-winning chemistry, Bonne Foi produces a line of natural skin care products formulated to rejuvenate skin and greatly slow down the aging process. All Bonne Foi products are 90 percent natural and contain no harmful chemicals or toxins. Bonne Foi means &#8220;Good Faith&#8221; and with good faith its wish is for everyone to age gracefully.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/12-0221-360mort_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="360 Mortgage Group, LLC" title="360 Mortgage Group, LLC" class="alignright" align="right" />AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 21, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; 360 Mortgage Group, a privately owned wholesale mortgage bank, has announced the release of Broker Docs, a closing document clearing functionality now available online to all 360 Mortgage Group brokers. This new feature to 360 Mortgage Group&#8217;s suite of proprietary online origination tools is expected to shorten closing time by at least 50 percent.</p>
<p>Developed by 360 Mortgage Group Chief Operating Officer Andrew WeissMalik, Broker Docs automatically and instantaneously delivers closing instructions to a closing agent whenever a broker submits a documentation order request and a &#8220;Clear to Close&#8221; has been issued within the file. This allows closing agents to work on a file prior having a 360 Mortgage Group closer review it, thereby reducing the time required to close a file. </p>
<p>&#8220;Instead of having to wait on our staff to process a doc order request and deliver closing instructions to the closing agent, now the originator stays in control of the delivery of closing instructions,&#8221; WeissMalik said. &#8220;As far as we can tell, no other wholesale lender is offering this kind of tool to its brokers.&#8221;</p>
<p>The development of Broker Docs is the latest in a series of proprietary tools 360 Mortgage Group has developed to empower its brokers to complete as much of the origination process as possible. Previous advancements include the development of FHA Connection, which allows 360 brokers to pull case numbers directly from FHA&#8217;s portal, and an online chat tool that instantly connects brokers to a 360 account executive. </p>
<p>&#8220;360 Mortgage Group does not hire anyone it can&#8217;t explicitly trust to deliver zero-defect, salable loans,&#8221; WeissMalik added. &#8220;We have built our technology platform with an eye towards putting as much control as possible in the hands of our brokers, and our minuscule default rate demonstrates that trust has not been misplaced.&#8221; </p>
<p><strong>About 360 Mortgage Group, LLC:</strong><br />
Established in 2007, 360 Mortgage Group, LLC ( <a href="http://www.360mtg.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.360mtg.com" target="_blank">http://www.360mtg.com</a> ) is a privately owned mortgage bank that has successfully utilized its high-technology platform to provide better communication and customer service to business partners.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/12-0221-ngdata_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="NGDATA" title="NGDATA" class="alignright" align="right" />GHENT, Belgium, Feb. 21, 2012 (SEND2PRESSS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; NGDATA (<a href="http://www.ngdata.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.ngdata.com" target="_blank">www.ngdata.com</a>) today announced that the company will raise capital to accelerate its growth activities in the United States and continue investments in the development of its big data management platform. NGDATA enables organizations to obtain real-time business insights based on large amounts of data gathered from their audiences. These valuable insights are used to make quick and efficient decisions and improve business performance.</p>
<p>NGDATA, founded by seasoned entrepreneurs Luc Burgelman, Frank Hamerlinck, Steven Noels and Jurgen Ingels, recently acquired Outerthought, a Belgium-based company with a strong track-record in big data technology. This acquisition is a first step in NGDATA&#8217;s goal to become a major player in the big data solutions industry.</p>
<p><strong>Big Data, Big Business:</strong><br />
Market studies show that the future success of companies will depend on their ability to capture, analyze and gain insights from their audiences. Companies want to capitalize on the massive amounts and more complex sets of data they can gather to inform and facilitate fast decision-making. Using big data will help to better understand customer behaviors and get much more accurate insights. This allows companies to execute targeted actions, such as personalized advertising, detection of fraud, one-to-one marketing, etc.</p>
<p>NGDATA targets consumer-facing industries as a big data software provider and is now seeking to secure capital to fuel the company&#8217;s continued growth. The additional funds will be used to accelerate the development and roll-out of the product roadmap and support business development activities in the United States.</p>
<p>Key to NGDATA&#8217;s growth strategy is the further development of &#8220;<a href="http://www.ngdata.com">Lily</a>,&#8221; a big data management platform. Lily is set to revolutionize the way companies aggregate vast amounts of data, extract business insights and use this enriched data to impact business operations. Lily provides a user-friendly interface and machine learning engine to easily manage extensive data and quickly obtain powerful insights to generate real-time recommendations and improve business performance.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our unique big data management platform is the result of significant R&amp;D investments and demonstrates NGDATA&#8217;s commitment to develop technologies that have a tremendous positive impact for our customers and partners,&#8221; said Luc Burgelman, Chief Executive Officer of NGDATA. &#8220;We want to secure additional capital to expand our technology lead, increase customer adoption and accelerate our business development efforts.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Experienced management and investors to drive growth:</strong><br />
Driving this business growth are founders and private investors Luc Burgelman, Frank Hamerlinck, Steven Noels and Jurgen Ingels who bring a wealth of combined experience to NGDATA. While Ingels will have an advising role, both Burgelman and Hamerlinck take on an active role in the senior management of NGDATA as CEO and COO. They are joined by Outerthought founder Steven Noels who remains at the forefront of NGDATA as VP Product. Over the past few years, Noels has steered Outerthought towards an established position in the big data market.</p>
<p>Luc Burgelman and Frank Hamerlinck were co-founders, CEO and COO/CTO respectively, of Porthus which went public in 2006 and was acquired by Descartes Systems Group in March 2011. Luc Burgelman was EVP Global Marketing and Product Strategy at Descartes and currently holds board positions at multiple technology companies.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/12-0221-eshee_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="E'shee Clinical Esthetic" title="E'shee Clinical Esthetic" class="alignright" align="right" />PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 21, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; E&#8217;shee Clinical Esthetic announced this week a new addition to its product line of <a href="http://www.esheeesthetic.com/advanced-skin-care-serums.html">skin serums</a> &#8211; Elixir of Life KI Therapy Serum &#8211; designed to deliver ultimate skin rejuvenation. </p>
<p>This new skin care product is based on a combination of stem cell and infrared nanotechnology. It is the most potent skin care formula that combines gene therapy (FGF-1 peptide) and Far Infrared Powder (FIR) to rejuvenate and restore the beauty of damaged or aging skin. </p>
<p>This new Elixir of Life Serum helps to activate the body&#8217;s stem cells to repair damaged tissue and skin regeneration. </p>
<p>&#8220;Results are proven. The FGF-1 peptide &#8211; the stem cell activator &#8211; helps to increase new skin cell growth at least 10-20 times faster than with other skin care products,&#8221; says Nataly Giter, founder, E&#8217;shee Clinical Esthetic. </p>
<p>Elixir of Life is ideal for people with circulation problems due to external factors such as pollution, and physical problems due to illness, medications or smoking. It works to repair dark circles and broken capillaries; delays the overall <a href="http://www.esheeesthetic.com/">skin aging</a> process through skin repair and re-growth; and also works to properly heal and repair scar tissue. </p>
<p>People of all ages &#8211; men and women &#8211; will see physical results within 30 days. Skin will be healthier and firmer with a smoother and more even skin tone. </p>
<p>&#8220;Ultimately, this new product helps to restore blood flow; aids with toxin removal; repairs broken capillaries; and reverses skin damage. We are very excited to offer this to anyone wishing to dramatically improve their skin care,&#8221; says Giter. </p>
<p><strong>About E&#8217;shee Clinical Esthetic:</strong><br />
E&#8217;shee was launched in 2009 by Nataly Giter, a hands-on skin care professional with more than 20 years of experience. Through research and practical experience, she learned about the most effective ingredients for advanced <a href="http://www.esheeesthetic.com/about.php">skin care</a> and became associated with Dr. Chiu, a professor from Ohio University and the first global pioneer to clone the human FGF-1 gene.</p>
<p>Together with Dr. Chiu and their combined connections to industry professionals, they utilized FGF-1 to create an extraordinary anti-aging product line, using 99 percent pure FGF-1 peptide &#8211; the best quality available outside of the human body.</p>
