TRACR and Sarine Technologies Sign Agreement for Pioneering Diamond Traceability Solution

The collaboration enables a scalable and cost-effective diamond traceability solution in support of transparency and trust across the supply chain HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2025 – Tracr™ Limited (“Tracr”), the world’s first fully distributed diamond blockchain platform enabling the registration of rough diamonds at source, and Sarine Technologies Limited (“Sarine”), a global leader in precision technologies across the diamond pipeline, have announced the signing of a collaboration agreement that enables each party to offer scalable, cost-effective and enhanced verification services for tracing diamonds from their source. The collaboration will enable algorithmic matching of diamonds at scale, starting from the source. Both parties will use their respective capabilities to increase process efficiency and reduce the need for duplicate processes by existing participants. Utilising Tracr’s blockchain technology, Sarine’s diamond scanning solutions, and both companies’ sophisticated diamond identification and matching algorithms, the collaboration will create an interface between Tracr’s platform and Sarine’s cloud, which will facilitate, if enabled by participants, the seamless matching of diamond data across different stages of a registered diamond’s journey. A key benefit of the arrangement will be the ability to offer objective verification of a diamond’s journey from a producer’s rough supply to a manufacturer’s polished production using verifiable diamond scanning information. Introducing a new objective verification capabilitythrough a robust algorithmic matchingprocess will help Tracr and Sarine participants benefit from enhanced provenance assurance, in turn enabling them to offer customers, diamond brands and consumers enhanced confidence in the provenance of a diamond. By enabling the option of registering their diamonds’ data, including diamond scans, to the Tracr platform using Sarine software, participating diamond businesses will be able to have their diamonds benefit from objective verification as the data is algorithmically checked against the corresponding existing diamond data. This includes diamonds from De Beers Group supply uploaded to Tracr, which currently number more than three million. With De Beers now registering single country of origin for all rough diamonds larger than one carat, the solution also has the potential to function as a customs service to facilitate the traceability of a diamond’s origins as it crosses international borders, in line with the requirements of the G7 Diamond Protocol. With the new traceability solution being based on Tracr’s and Sarine’s existing infrastructure, which is widely used in the industry, the solution is expected to have minimal impact on participants’ supply chains, supporting its ability to be scaled quickly and effectively. Furthermore, Tracr’s and Sarine’s matching processes will be conducted using data from a variety of existing diamond scanning technologies and enabling businesses to benefit from enhanced provenance assurance. This will help to reduce operational complexity and make the matching process more efficient and scalable. Wesley Tucker, CEO of Tracr, said: “We believe this collaboration will deliver a step change in traceability and provenance assurance in the diamond industry. By enabling the connection between our blockchain technology and Sarine’s advanced precision technology, we are creating a new, cost-effective and highly scalable solution that can be implemented at pace. It has been great to work with Sarine on developing a solution that is both innovative and practical, and we see huge potential for it – both for meeting rapidly evolving consumer expectations and in support of the fast-changing regulatory landscape.” David Block, CEO of Sarine Technologies, said: “We believe that this cooperation will greatly enhance the much-needed ability to trace diamonds to their source, providing the industry with greater transparency and the consumers with heightened confidence. It has been a pleasure working with the Tracr team on this initiative, and we look forward to supporting our customers in implementing these capabilities to enhance their operations.” Hashtag: #Tracr #DeBeersGroup #NaturalDiamonds http://www.debeersgroup.com/http://www.linkedin.com/company/de-beershttp://www.twitter.com/DeBeersGrouphttp://www.facebook.com/DeBeersGroupOfCompanies/http://www.instagram.com/debeersgroup The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

CGTN: From GDP growth to tech, foreign investment boost, China brings confidence to the world in 2025

CGTN published an article outlining key takeaways of the Chinese government work report, which was submitted to the country’s national legislature for deliberation on March 5. The story expressed China’s full confidence in its economic development prospects for 2025 and highlighted China’s contribution to global development. BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswre – 5 March 2025 – The world has once again turned its eyes to Beijing as China Wednesday announced its economic growth target rate of around 5 percent in 2025 at the opening meeting of third session of the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC), China’s national legislature. On a global scale, an around 5 percent growth rate would place China among the world’s fastest-growing major economies, with the economic increment equating to the annual output of a medium-sized country. Justin Lin Yifu, dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University, pointed out that China’s stable and dynamic economic growth in 2025 is a certainty regardless global uncertainty. Lin, the former senior vice president and chief economist of the World Bank, is confident that China’s gross domestic product (GDP) is on track to grow at a rate of at least 5 percent, sustaining its position as a key driver of global growth by contributing over 30 percent to global expansion. “That is good news – not just for China but also for the world at large,” he added. The government work report, submitted to the national legislature for deliberation on Wednesday, expressed China’s willingness to work with other members of the international community to promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization. “We will remain firm in pursuing a mutually beneficial strategy of opening up, oppose hegemonism and power politics, oppose unilateralism and protectionism in all forms, and uphold international fairness and justice,” the report affirmed. Deficit-to-GDP ratio at 4 percent The report outlined China adopting a more proactive fiscal policy and applying an appropriately accommodative monetary policy. Thus, China’s deficit-to-GDP ratio for this year is set at around 4 percent, an increase of one percentage point over last year. Tian Yun, a Beijing-based economist, noticed it marks the first time on record that China has set the deficit-to-GDP ratio at 4 percent. It sent out multiple signals on Chinese policymakers’ stepped-up efforts to navigate challenges and boost high-quality economic development, Tian said. It also indicates that fiscal spending will play a significantly stronger role in supporting economic growth and that the efficiency in using fiscal spending should be higher this year, he added. Boosting social vitality Calling for stimulating the vitality of the whole society, the report vowed that China will firmly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, strengthen the domestic economy, drive its expansion and broaden international cooperation through further opening up. To fulfill the target, China will issue a total of 1.3 trillion yuan (about $182 billion) of ultra-long special treasury bonds in 2025, up 300 billion yuan from last year, and earmark 735 billion yuan in central government budget for investment in 2025. The report highlighted China’s commitments to expanding higher-standard opening up, stabilizing foreign trade and investment and fostering a first-rate business environment. Since last year, China has fully applied the negative list for cross-border trade in services, launched opening-up trials for valued-added telecom services, biotechnology and wholly foreign-owned hospitals and has given all the least developed countries with which it has diplomatic relations zero-tariff treatment for 100 percent tariff lines. Innovation-driven development The report on Wednesday said the country will insist on innovation-driven development, pledging to advance tech self-reliance, accelerate major science projects and build an environment for innovation. Enterprises like Xiaomi deeply understood the importance of innovation and high-end development. When speaking at the Deputies’ Corridor before the opening of NPC session, Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi as well as an NPC deputy, stated that Xiaomi’s major achievements are underpinned by its innovation strategy. Noting that Xiaomi maintained its position among the top three global smartphone manufacturers for 18 consecutive quarters, Lei said it also reflects the growing global recognition of Chinese technology products and brands. China will reform research institutes, strengthen collaboration between industry and academia, give enterprises a bigger role in innovation and create a top-tier talent pool to support young scientists, the report said. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2025-03-05/How-does-China-bring-confidence-to-the-world-in-2025-1BuwEnFFUwU/p.html Hashtag: #CGTN The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Renowned International Artist Jimmy Marble’s Portrait Artworks by vivo V50 Portraits of Love with the vivo V50 As part of the officially opening of the vivo VLOVE Portrait Gallery, vivo hosted a special session with five of the photographers and asked them to share how they push the boundaries of imaging technology through mobile photography. They also detailed their creative process for capturing love with the ZEISS Professional Portrait capabilities of the vivo V50. “My focus is on capturing portraits that feel authentic – images that go beyond aesthetics and reveal the soul of the subject,” explained Urasha Jakkachaphol, who is from Thailand. “Whether it’s the intensity in someone’s gaze, the vulnerability in their posture, or the power of body language, my goal is to create images that make people feel something real.” The technical precision of the vivo V50 let Urasha use light, depth of field, and perspective to create her portraits expressing “The Presence of Love”. “Through intimate portraiture, this series captures the subtle beauty of connection: the tenderness of a couple’s gaze, the peace of self-reflection, and the warmth of vulnerability,” she says. “I’m passionate about natural light photography, so I need a camera that doesn’t compromise on image quality under any lighting conditions. The collaboration between vivo V50 and ZEISS allowed me to shoot spontaneously, intuitively, and authentically. Whether it’s the soft morning light or intense midday sun, it captures it all perfectly. Urasha’s favorite feature is the ZEISS Multi-Focus Portrait mode. “It creates depth and separation, with the subject sharp and the background smoothly fading out, making portraits more intimate,” she says. “Coupled with its rapid autofocus, I never miss those fleeting, vivid expressions. William Seng used the vivo V50 to capture loving moments he observed in Malaysia’s urban cityscape. “I wanted to capture selfless love, a love that asks for nothing in return, and a love for one’s passion,” he says. He noted that convenience is one of the advantages of mobile photography. “The V50 is always in my pocket and delivers amazing quality,” he says. “For me, the 50mm portrait lens on the V50 is the most powerful. Capturing instant portraits on the street is quite challenging. With the 50mm, I don’t have to get too close to the subject to capture a portrait, which is helpful. The sharpness of the portraits is impressive, and the details captured by the V50 amazed me.” Capturing the connection between the subjects in a portrait is paramount for Gabriel Santos of Spain. “If you can make that connection not only visually stunning but also authentic, then you have created a mesmerizing portrait,” he says. “vivo and ZEISS have done an outstanding job with this phone. Even in low light, it produces excellent portraits. You can slightly underexpose to create more contrast and capture more intimate moments or overexpose in darkness to reduce contrast. The phone is equipped with three primary portrait lenses: 24mm, 35mm, and 50 mm, each suitable for different shooting scenarios.” “Mobile photography is more flexible and spontaneous compared to traditional cameras,” says Aung Kyaw Tun. “It allows me to capture

Octa broker announces a new powerful AI tool within its OctaTrader platform

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 March 2025 – Global broker Octa recently released a new AI feature to its proprietary trading platform, OctaTrader. Embedded into the platform interface, the new tool is called ‘AI pattern search’ and serves to make trading analytics more precise and time-efficient. The experts at Octa explain the main use cases and scope of this new powerful tool. The issue with chart patterns Every seasoned trader understands the value of technical analysis. Chart pattern recognition is one of the key areas of knowledge that allow traders to navigate the ever-changing financial markets with confidence. Mastering chart analysis requires learning to spot various patterns and predict where the market is headed. It is essential to determine if the pattern signals bullish or bearish momentum and whether it may lead to a reversal or continuation of the current trend. Of course, learning every single pattern by heart takes a lot of time. What’s more, quickly and efficiently recognizing patterns directly from the chart can place a significant cognitive burden on traders, regardless of experience. This is especially true about those engaging in fast-paced trading styles since it leads to facing multiple important decisions throughout every minute of trading sessions. However tiresome and energy-consuming it may be to spot every single pattern every single time, this aspect of trading should not be ignored but rather approached with greater efficiency. OctaTrader: bringing AI analytics to the table To improve pattern-based chart analytics and drive consistency in trading, OctaTrader, Octa broker’s proprietary trading platform, released a new tool called ‘AI pattern recognition’. It allows traders to expand the trading experience by tapping into the power of AI. As its name suggests, the new tool scans a vast database of historical data to find the most relevant technical analysis patterns for a chosen instrument and time frame. To do that, it first automatically analyses current price dynamics and then uses machine learning algorithms to spot actionable trends. As a result, OctaTrader users effortlessly gain access to an actionable analytical pattern for the asset of choice. In a couple of clicks, the pattern can be copied to the trading chart to apply the analytical insights to trades. AI Pattern Recognition currently covers all the tradable assets available on the OctaTrader platform and is easily customisable to fit the client’s trading style. Power in unity The new AI Pattern Recognition feature is embedded in the Octa app so that users can save time switching between different web resources and platforms when searching for relevant patterns. The tool can be used in synergy with another OctaTrader’s signature feature, the analytics hub Space. The Space feed embedded in the Octa app provides expert-curated insights and educational articles that help traders assess market fluctuations and gain relevant financial knowledge. As such, Space offers human expertise, while AI Pattern Recognition brings deep machine knowledge to the table. The synergy of these two tools allows traders to spot relevant patterns—and then validate decisions by deep diving into the financial theory, if necessary. According to the Octa broker, the AI Pattern Search tool will be further improved with new machine learning models for handling support and resistance levels and candlestick patterns. These incoming updates will extend the tool’s scope and add more flexibility to OctaTrader clients’ routines. Following the latest trend of deeper penetration of AI in FinTech, OctaTrader now combines advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities with extensive expert intelligence. Using the new AI Pattern Recognition tool, OctaTrader clients can significantly ease the cognitive load of analysing the charts, making sessions more efficient and decision-making more informed. ___ Disclaimer: Trading involves risks and may not be suitable for all investors.
