Iran menjawab ultimatum 15 mata Trump – media

(SeaPRwire) - Teheran telah menolak peta jalan tersebut, dengan mengatakan ia tidak akan membenarkan presiden AS menentukan syarat AS telah menghantar kepada Iran cadangan perdamaian 15 mata yang menuntut pembongkaran program nuklearnya, sekatan roket, dan penghentian sokongan kepada sekutu rantau, demikian laporan media AS dan Israel. Pegawai Iran dilaporkan telah menolak peta jalan tersebut, dengan mengatakan perang akan berakhir mengikut syarat Teheran. Rancangan ini pertama kali dilaporkan oleh New York Times pada Selasa, dengan sumber mengatakan ia telah disampaikan melalui Pakistan dan tidak jelas sama ada Israel menyokong cadangan itu. Akhbar itu tidak memberikan butiran rancangan, dengan hanya mengatakan ia meliputi program nuklear dan roket balistik Iran. Kemudian, Israeli Channel 12 menggariskan 14 daripada 15 mata dalam rancangan itu. Rangka kerja itu dilaporkan menuntut Iran membongkar sepenuhnya kemudahan nuklearnya di Natanz, Isfahan, dan Fordow, mengharamkan secara kekal pengayaan uranium di tapaknya, dan memindahkan simpanan uranium terkaya kepada IAEA mengikut garis masa yang disetujui. Teheran juga akan dikehendaki meninggalkan rangkaian kumpulan bersenjata rantau, meletakkan had ketat pada program roket balistiknya, dan mengekalkan Selat Hormuz terbuka sebagai lorong maritim bebas. Sebagai balasan, semua sekatan berkaitan nuklear akan diturunkan dan Washington akan membantu program nuklear awam Iran, termasuk Loji Tenaga Nuklear Bushehr, yang mempunyai penyertaan Rusia. Teheran menafikan bahawa ia telahadakan perbincangan dengan Washington. Leftenan Kolonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari, jurucakap komander angkatan tentera Iran, membuat ejekan terhadap AS kerana “berunding dengan diri sendiri.” Iranian Press TV melaporkan, dengan merujuk kepada sumber, bahawa Teheran telah menolak peta jalan tersebut, dengan mengatakan perang akan berakhir pada “masa yang dipilih sendiri oleh [Iran].” Beliau juga berkata Teheran tidak akan membenarkan Presiden AS Donald Trump menentukan syarat, dan bahawa penyelesaian harus mengandungi “jaminan konkrit.” Beberapa media melaporkan bahawa Iran telah menuntut agar AS bersetuju dengan konsesi penting untuk menamatkan perang. The Wall Street Journal berkata Teheran menegaskan bahawa Amerika menutup semua pangkalan militernya di Teluk Parsi, menjamin tiada operasi ketenteraan lagi, menurunkan semua sekatan, dan membenarkan pengumpulan bayaran daripada kapal yang melalui Selat Hormuz, serta mengecualikan program roket balistik Iran daripada perbincangan selanjutnya. Menurut Reuters, Iran juga mahu AS membayar ganti rugi kerugian waktu perang dan memperoleh kawalan rasmi ke atas selat tersebut. Berkomentar mengenai cadangan Trump yang dilaporkan, Menteri Ekonomi Israel Nir Barkat berkata ia kelihatan “indah di atas kertas,” walaupun Iran tidak berkemungkinan menerima ia.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Perang Iran ‘lebih buruk’ daripada Irak – Perdana Menteri Sepanyol kewangan

Perang Iran ‘lebih buruk’ daripada Irak – Perdana Menteri Sepanyol

(SeaPRwire) - Pedro Sanchez telah memberi amaran tentang "kesan yang lebih luas dan lebih mendalam" daripada kempen AS-Israel terhadap Tehran Perang AS-Israel yang sedang berlangsung terhadap Iran akan mempunyai "kesan yang jauh lebih buruk" daripada pencerobohan Iraq yang diketuai AS pada 2003, kata Perdana Menteri Sepanyol Pedro Sanchez, sambil mengesahkan semula penolakan Madrid untuk mengambil bahagian. Bercakap di dewan rendah parlimen pada Rabu, Sanchez menggambarkan konflik itu sebagai "bencana mutlak," dengan mengatakan ia telah "merosakkan undang-undang antarabangsa dan menyusahkan Timur Tengah." Beliau menambah bahawa ia telah menyala semula ketegangan di Iraq dan Lubnan, meningkatkan ketidakselamatan di negara-negara Teluk, dan memperburuk cabaran tenaga global. "Kami tidak menghadapi senario yang sama seperti dalam perang haram di Iraq," kata Sanchez. "Kami menghadapi sesuatu yang jauh lebih buruk, dengan kesan yang jauh lebih luas dan mendalam." Beliau mengkritik kerajaan 2003 yang diketuai Perdana Menteri ketika itu Jose Maria Aznar kerana menyokong pencerobohan Iraq yang diketuai AS dan kemudiannya mengerahkan tentera Sepanyol ke negara itu. "Kami berkata tidak kepada pengulangan kesilapan masa lalu; kami berkata tidak kepada berpura-pura sebagai demokrasi, yang sebenarnya adalah keserakahan dan pengiraan politik," kata Sanchez. "Ringkasnya, kami berkata tidak kepada perang." Sanchez menyatakan bahawa Iran lebih besar daripada gabungan Jerman, Perancis, dan Itali dari segi wilayah dan mempunyai keupayaan ketenteraan yang ketara, termasuk peluru berpandu balistik jarak jauh. Beliau berkata Tehran telah menghabiskan dekad-dekad untuk membina pertahanannya, merujuk kepada penubuhan Republik Islam selepas revolusi 1979. Memberi amaran tentang kesan ekonomi, Sanchez berkata: "Perang ini adalah kesilapan besar yang kosnya kami tidak terima dan tidak sanggup membayar." Beliau menyebut bahawa kerajaan minggu lepas meluluskan pakej €5 bilion untuk melindungi isi rumah Sepanyol. Sepanyol adalah antara negara-negara EU yang paling terbuka dalam menentang perang. Madrid telah menarik duta besarnya dari Israel dan menurunkan hubungan diplomatik. Pendirian itu juga telah merenggangkan hubungan dengan Washington. Sepanyol telah menolak untuk membenarkan AS menggunakan pangkalan tentera bersama untuk operasi yang berkaitan dengan konflik, dengan alasan kedaulatan. Ini mendorong kritikan daripada Presiden Donald Trump, yang telah mengancam tindakan perdagangan dan menyebut kegagalan Madrid untuk memenuhi sasaran perbelanjaan pertahanan 5% NATO. Walaupun terdapat retorik, Menteri Luar Negeri Sepanyol Jose Manuel Albares berkata awal bulan ini bahawa hubungan dua hala kekal "normal."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Gergasi Permainan Sepanyol Codere Dijual Pada €2 Bilion iGame

Gergasi Permainan Sepanyol Codere Dijual Pada €2 Bilion

(AsiaGameHub) - Codere, syarikat perjudian kedua terbesar di Sepanyol selepas Cirsa, ditawarkan untuk dijual pada penilaian sekitar €2 bilion ($2.3 bilion). Syarikat itu telah mengambil firma AS Jefferies dan Macquarie Capital yang berpangkalan di Australia sebagai penasihat kewangan untuk menyediakan proses jualan, menurut laporan daripada penerbitan berita Sepanyol Expansión. Jualan Dijangka Selesai Pada Musim Panas Proses ini masih berada di peringkat awal, dengan tarikh akhir sementara pertengahan Mei untuk pihak-pihak yang berminat mengemukakan tawaran tidak mengikat mereka. Tawaran mengikat kemungkinan akan dikemukakan sekitar Julai, dengan perjanjian pembelian dimuktamadkan pada Ogos. Ditubuhkan oleh keluarga Martínez Sampedro pada tahun 1980, syarikat itu telah mengalami beberapa penyusunan semula dalam tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini. Pemegangan saham semasa syarikat kini dibahagikan antara kira-kira 84 dana pelaburan, dengan Davidson Kempner memegang pegangan 13.3%, diikuti oleh Palmerston Capital (5.6%), Deltroit (5.47%), System 2 Capital (5.15%), dan Invesco (5.14%). Syarikat Dalam Status Kewangan Yang Kukuh Perjanjian dengan pemiutang pada 2024 menukar kira-kira €1.2 bilion hutang kepada ekuiti. Gonzaga Higuero, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif syarikat, berkata perjanjian itu adalah "kejayaan muktamad untuk Codere, jaminan untuk masa depan yang memastikan kedudukan kewangan kami dan melancarkan semula keupayaan syarikat untuk mencapai objektif pertumbuhan yang ditetapkan." Pada 2024, kumpulan itu mencatatkan hasil sebanyak €1.346 bilion ($1.56 bilion), dengan EBITDA diselaraskan sebanyak €179 juta ($207 juta). Syarikat itu beroperasi di tujuh negara: Sepanyol, Itali, Argentina, Mexico, Panama, Colombia, dan Uruguay, dengan kedua-dua tapak perjudian fizikal dan platform dalam talian. Perniagaannya termasuk mesin slot, dewan bingo, terminal pertaruhan sukan, arked, bilik permainan, bar, dan litar lumba kuda. Bahagian dalam taliannya disenaraikan secara berasingan di Nasdaq, tetapi itu juga akan disertakan dalam jualan. Ia menyumbang 12% daripada jumlah hasil pada 2024. Sepanyol Bukan Lagi Sumber Hasil Tertinggi Walaupun syarikat itu ditubuhkan di Sepanyol, pendirian tegas negara itu terhadap perjudian telah menyebabkan pengurangan hasil di negara tersebut. Codere adalah antara beberapa syarikat yang didenda oleh pengawal selia Sepanyol tahun lepas di tengah-tengah tindakan tegas terhadap perjudian. Syarikat itu didenda €17,500 kerana menggunakan sistem teknikal yang tidak diluluskan. Itali dan Mexico masing-masing menyumbang 21% dan 17% daripada hasil syarikat pada 2024. Sepanyol, sementara itu, menjana sekitar 16%. Syarikat perjudian di Sepanyol mesti mengikut peraturan yang lebih ketat, termasuk memaparkan mesej amaran yang dikatakan kuat seakan-akan tembakau. Negara itu memperkenalkan langkah-langkah tersebut tahun lepas. Mesej baharu tersebut termasuk: Ketagihan judi adalah risiko berjudi Kebarangkalian untuk menjadi penjudi yang kalah adalah 75% Kerugian untuk semua penjudi adalah empat kali ganda lebih besar daripada kemenangan mereka Menteri Hak Sosial Pablo Bustinduy telah mengetuai reformasi tersebut, menyatakan bahawa "tanggungjawab tidak sepatutnya jatuh pada pengguna tetapi pada pihak berkuasa, yang mempunyai tanggungjawab demokratik untuk memastikan persekitaran yang mereka akses adalah selamat." Tidak jelas sama ada peraturan yang lebih ketat Sepanyol ke atas syarikat perjudian akan memberi kesan kepada potensi jualan Codere. Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia kandungan pihak ketiga.

Amid a complex environment of mounting external pressures and internal challenges, China continued to advance high-quality development, with the overall economy maintaining stable performance and achieving steady progress. With stable economic growth, corporate demand for commercial space has increased. Coupled with accelerated urbanization and the development of new business districts, demand for commercial properties has continued to rise, supporting the growth of commercial property management and leasing activities. In addition, the Chinese government has introduced a series of favourable policies for the commercial real estate sector, focusing on inventory digestion and optimization of industry planning, thereby providing further support to the property management and leasing industry.The Group’s managed properties mainly comprise commercial assets. Despite macroeconomic conditions and market competition, tenancy arrangements, lease agreements and occupancy rates remained stable in 2025. However, rental levels for newly signed leases were lower than in previous periods. To mitigate the pressure arising from rental adjustments, the Group will continue to enhance customer satisfaction by incorporating value-added services into new lease agreements, including property maintenance and upkeep, facilities management and community event planning.The Group’s existing properties are primarily located in Chengdu, Sichuan and Kunming, Yunnan—two key regional cities—and comprise three commercial buildings: Everbright Financial Center, Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building. Benefiting from their prime locations and high-quality facilities, these properties have attracted a sizable number of state-owned enterprises and large institutions, providing a solid foundation for the Group’s leasing business. In recent years, the Group has successfully introduced tenants from emerging sectors such as software and technology, while also offering digitalised services to tenants. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to promote diversified business development and strive to attract more high-quality commercial tenants.In addition, the further escalation of the situation in the Middle East in March 2026 has led to rising energy prices, heightened inflation expectations and slower economic growth, all of which are core factors affecting overseas investment decisions. Accordingly, the Group will carefully reassess its asset allocation and regional risks with respect to its overseas investment plans. Despite the current significant volatility in the global economy, the Group will adhere to the principle of prudent operation, flexibly seize investment windows, and ensure the safety of capital operations.The Group continues to leverage technology to advance smart property management, enhance operational efficiency and elevate the customer experience. By strengthening digitalisation and refined management capabilities, the Group aims to further improve service quality and customer satisfaction.By fully leveraging the synergy with its parent company, China Everbright Group, while actively developing diversified value-added services to broaden its revenue mix and enhance brand influence. As the industry undergoes transformation and upgrading, the Group remains committed to prudent operations, a strong focus on risk management and internal controls, agile responses to macroeconomic and policy developments, continuous optimisation of its asset portfolio, further strengthening of its resilience against market uncertainties, and also actively explore new development opportunities to create greater value for the shareholders.About Everbright Grand China Assets LimitedEverbright Grand China Assets Limited is engaged in the businesses of property leasing and the provision of property management services under China Everbright Group.

Pembuat ChatGPT tutup aplikasi teks-ke-video yang tular kewangan

Pembuat ChatGPT tutup aplikasi teks-ke-video yang tular

(SeaPRwire) - Pengumuman ini dibuat hanya enam bulan selepas OpenAI melancarkan aplikasi Sora yang berdiri sendiri, dan sebelum IPO yang berpotensi Pengeluar ChatGPT, OpenAI, telah mengumumkan bahawa ia akan menutup aplikasi Soranya, yang menjadi tular musim luruh lepas sebagai platform untuk berkongsi video pendek yang dijana AI tetapi juga menimbulkan kebimbangan mengenai deepfake yang realistik. Dalam kenyataan ringkas pada X pada hari Rabu, OpenAI berkata ia “mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada aplikasi Sora,” tanpa memberi sebab. “Kepada semua yang mencipta dengan Sora, berkongsi, dan membina komuniti di sekelilingnya: terima kasih,” tulis syarikat itu. “Apa yang anda cipta dengan Sora adalah bermakna, dan kami tahu berita ini mengecewakan.” OpenAI pertama kali melancarkan Sora pada akhir 2024. Alat itu mendapat perhatian arus perdana selepas pelancaran model generasi keduanya dan aplikasi yang berdiri sendiri pada September lepas. Aplikasi itu dengan cepat menduduki carta Foto dan Video iOS, apabila pengguna mencipta klip tular dari angka sejarah fotorealistik hingga gabungan budaya pop sureal. OpenAI sebelum ini tidak menunjukkan sebarang tanda ia sedang berusaha untuk menutup Sora. Pada Disember, ia malah mengumumkan perjanjian $1 bilion yang kini dibatalkan dengan Disney untuk membawa watak dari francais seperti Marvel dan Star Wars ke platform itu. Bagaimanapun, Sora menghadapi tentangan yang semakin meningkat mengenai deepfake, maklumat palsu, dan penggunaan tidak sah imej selebriti dan bahan hak cipta. Kumpulan pengguna, ahli akademik, dan tokoh industri mengingatkan risiko termasuk imej tanpa keizinan dan hakisan pekerjaan kreatif. OpenAI terpaksa mengehadkan gambaran AI tokoh awam seperti Michael Jackson dan Martin Luther King Jr. berikutan tekanan dari estet dan kesatuan, termasuk guild pelakon AS SAG-AFTRA. Seorang jurucakap Disney berkata syarikat itu kini akan mengakhiri perkongsiannya dengan OpenAI. “Memandangkan bidang AI yang masih baru berkembang pesat, kami menghormati keputusan OpenAI untuk keluar dari perniagaan penjanaan video dan mengalihkan keutamaannya,” kata jurucakap itu dalam kenyataan bertulis kepada media. “Kami akan terus meneroka teknologi AI yang menghormati IP dan hak pencipta.” Sementara itu, penutupan Sora juga berlaku sebelum IPO berpotensi OpenAI, yang dikatakan boleh berlaku pada tahun ini. Penganalisis melihat langkah itu sebagai peralihan pemotongan kos, memandangkan penjanaan video AI memerlukan kuasa pengkomputeran yang mahal yang mana OpenAI dilaporkan telah berjuang untuk mencari model perniagaan yang mampan. Laporan menunjukkan keutamaan dalaman sedang beralih ke bidang yang lebih komersial seperti AI “rakan sekerja” dan robotik. OpenAI berkata ia akan segera memberikan butiran mengenai jadual penutupan dan bagaimana pengguna boleh menyimpan video mereka.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Hungary Tidak Menghiraukan Kritikan EU Berhubung Hubungannya dengan Rusia dan China kewangan

Hungary Tidak Menghiraukan Kritikan EU Berhubung Hubungannya dengan Rusia dan China

(SeaPRwire) - Budapest tidak akan menjejaskan kepentingan kebangsaan mereka di bawah tekanan dari Brussels, kata Menteri Luar Negeri Peter Szijjarto Menteri Luar Negeri Hungary Peter Szijjarto telah memberitahu ketua dasar luar EU Kaja Kallas bahawa Budapest akan mengekalkan hubungan dengan Rusia dan China walaupun terdapat penentangan dari Brussels, kata juru bicara kerajaan. Pada Isnin, Perdana Menteri Hungary Viktor Orban memerintahkan siasatan ke atas tuduhan pendengaran telefon Szijjarto oleh sekurang-kurangnya satu negara anggota EU. Langkah ini diikuti dakwaan oleh Washington Post dan Politico bahawa Szijjarto telah menghubungi rakan sejawatan Rusia beliau, Sergey Lavrov, semasa rehat mesyuarat EU untuk memberinya “laporan langsung tentang perkara yang telah dibincangkan.” Szijjarto menafikan dakwaan tersebut, menggambarkannya sebagai “pembohongan dan berita palsu.” Skandal ini meletus hanya beberapa minggu sebelum pilihan raya parlimen di Hungary, dengan ketua pembangkang, Peter Magyar, mengeksploitasinya untuk menuduh diplomat itu “menghakis kepentingan Hungary dan Eropah.” Magyar mengancam untuk memasukkan Szijjarto ke penjara seumur hidup jika parti Tisza beliau memenangi undian pada 12 April. Dalam catatan di X pada Rabu, Zoltan Kovacs, juru bicara antarabangsa kerajaan, berkata bahawa menteri luar negeri telah menjalankan perbincangan dengan Kallas dan menyampaikan kepada beliau bahawa “Hungary akan terus terlibat dengan rakan kongsi global – dari AS ke Türkiye, Serbia, Rusia, China, dan lain-lain – kerana keputusan ini mempengaruhi kerjasama tenaga, keselamatan, dan ekonomi kita.” “Kita tidak akan menyerahkan kepentingan kebangsaan, walaupun terdapat campur tangan perisikan asing yang sangat serius dalam pilihan raya Hungary – dengan penglibatan Brussels,” kata Szijjarto seperti yang dipetik oleh juru bicara. Menurut Kovacs, menteri luar negeri memberitahu Kallas bahawa pendengaran telefonnya, yang menjadi mungkin selepas Szabolcs Panyi, wartawan Hungary yang mempunyai hubungan dengan Tisza, menyerahkan butiran kenalan beliau kepada pegawai keselamatan EU, adalah “bahagian daripada operasi yang bertujuan untuk mempengaruhi pilihan raya.” “Biarlah mereka yang menuduh kita sebagai pro-Rusia atau pengintip, yang bersedia membayar tiga kali ganda lebih untuk gas dan elektrik daripada hari ini,” kata Szijjarto seperti yang dipetik oleh juru bicara. “Tenaga Rusia yang terjangkau” adalah sebab utama kos utiliti yang rendah di Hungary, tambah menteri itu. Budapest telah mendakwa berulang kali bahawa Brussels mahu melihat kerajaan baru yang pro-EU berkuasa di Hungary. Orban telah bergaduh dengan Brussels mengenai pelbagai isu dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, termasuk penentangannya terhadap bantuan ketenteraan EU kepada Ukraine, larangan propaganda LGBT, dan penolakan untuk menerima pendatang bukan Eropah.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Each DLE-R unit will include a Tveskaeg system to measure lithium and the order of additional units highlights its importance to our operations, particularly as we prepare for rapid global deployment to meet burgeoning demand lithium.Our existing two systems perform flawlessly and intuitively - so much so that our team has named them Forky and Hilda (after King Sweyn ‘Forkbeard' Tveskaeg and his wife). This is our second major order, in what we expect to be many."- Charlie McGill, CEO, ElectraLith"There is nothing better than visiting a customer on the other side of the globe and seeing our technology in use with happy customers like Charlie and his team. Our talented employees back at Skjernvej in Aalborg deserve the credit for the technology simply working and the customers being happy. That we can also bring home an order for additional instruments naturally makes me extra pleased."- Martin Mindorf, CCO, NanoNord"It is a great honour to be part of the historic state visit to Australia, and we are honoured by the attention from especially H.M. the Queen on this trip. The Queen quickly understood the potential of the technology in Australia and asked curiously about how Tveskaeg is used in connection with lithium extraction. NanoNord and ElectraLith are a great example of how our countries can work together, and there is great potential out here, particularly for the extraction of metals that are critical for the green transition. Beyond ElectraLith, we also have several exciting customers and prospects that we need to come back for."- Martin Mindorf, CCO, NanoNordAbout ElectraLithElectraLith is an American deeptech pioneer developing DLE-R - a proprietary electrochemical technology for lithium extraction and refining. The technology produces battery-grade lithium hydroxide or carbonate without water, chemicals, or waste, and can be powered by renewable energy.In December 2024, the company closed a materially oversubscribed Series A round of approximately USD 17 million with investors including Rio Tinto, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum, and In-Q-Tel. In 2026, ElectraLith was selected a Top Innovator by the World Economic Forum and has pilot projects planned in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Argentina.About NanoNordNanoNord was founded in 2001 by inventor Ole Nørgaard Jensen, who previously sold the Bluetooth pioneer company Digianswer to Motorola. The company develops and manufactures MR-based measurement equipment under the name Tveskaeg, used for applications including sodium measurement in food, lithium measurement in the mining industry, and nitrogen and phosphorus measurement in agriculture. Customers include global names such as Kraft-Heinz, Orkla, and Imerys. In the other industries, such as the food industry, NanoNord equipment eliminates the need for silver nitrate titration, and in several European countries, Tveskaeg technology is currently being tested for agricultural applications, where it has the potential to optimise the use of slurry, resulting in less groundwater pollution and better utilisation of nutrients.NanoNord is foundation- and family-owned, with the Lauritzen Foundation as a major investor, and continues to be led by founder Ole Nørgaard Jensen as CEO. In Australia, NanoNord is represented during the state visit by Martin Nørgaard Mindorf, CCO, the next generation of the family.Contact information:Martin MindorfCCOmm@nanonord.dk+4596341590Charlie McGillCEOcharles.mcgill@electralith.comSOURCE: NanoNord Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Adyton Reports 6.60g/t Au, 2.44% Cu and 39.8g/t Ag Within 164m @ 0.82g/t AuEq Including 53m at 1.60g/t AuEq Within 164m at 0.82g/t AuEq from the Northeastern Extension Target, Feni Island

Brisbane, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 25, 2026) - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) ("Adyton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive expansionary drill results from its ongoing exploration program at the 100% owned Feni Island Gold-Copper Project, located on the productive Lihir Trend, Papua New Guinea (PNG). This announcement provides all the assay results for expansionary hole FDD017 (preliminary results were first reported on February 18, 2026).Hole FDD017 previously returned 53m @ 1.29g/t Au (gold only) and now, incorporating newly released copper assays, reports as 53m @ 1.60g/t AuEq representing an approximate 25% increase in reported grade. In addition, strong silver (Ag) and molybdenum (Mo) results further support the presence of a highly fertile epithermal-porphyry at Kabang.KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF DRILL HOLE FDD017Final assays for hole FDD017 have delivered another >100g*m intercept, further confirming strong Au-Cu mineralisation in the north-eastern extension targetHole FDD017 yielded:53m @ 1.29g/t Au, 0.26% Cu (1.60g/t AuEq; from 151m)within a broader interval of 164m at 0.63g/t Au, 0.15% Cu (0.82g/t AuEq for 134g*m; from 36m);including a higher-grade interval that returned: 5m @ 3.6g/t Au, 1.48% Cu (5.63g/t AuEq: from 198m)In addition to gold and copper, FDD017 also reports significant silver and molybdenum signalling strong system fertility for a large alkalic epithermal-porphyry system:5m @ 22.3g/t Ag (from 198m) and 6m @ 275ppm Mo (from 295m; peak Mo 579ppm)These final assay results for hole FDD017 confirm the North-Eastern zone at Kabang is strongly mineralised and prospective for gold and copper and continues to expand this zone beyond the current resource model.Ground based IP/MT survey progressing well; looking to deploy within 2Q 2026."FDD017 continues to exceed our expectations, delivering a meaningful uplift in grade with the inclusion of copper and highlighting the strength of the broader mineralized system at Feni. The increase to 1.60g/t AuEq over 53 metres, combined with strong silver and molybdenum values, reinforces our view that Kabang represents a highly fertile and evolving epithermal-porphyry system. Importantly, this hole further confirms the scale and continuity of mineralization in the north-eastern extension, which remains open and continues to grow beyond the current resource footprint." said Tim Crossley, CEO.Adyton is looking forward to receiving additional assays from nearby drillholes within this zone and updating the market accordingly.SIGNIFICANT INTERCEPTSTable 1 shows the Significant Intercepts for gold and copper assay results received to date (new assays this release for FDD017 only).

Of note, geochemical zonation appears to be vectoring towards a hydrothermal fluid source to the SW and to depth - exactly where the Danmagal porphyry is located. Furthermore, the Kabang drilling has encountered smaller apophyses of porphyry style intrusives and copper mineralization, and the current geological model suggests that Danmagal is the likely source of these.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/289847_b8a30a4df4e5ea26_005full.jpgFUTURE CATALYSTS & OUTLOOKAdyton is well-funded with C$16.75m in cash and cash equivalents, 100% earmarked for the Feni Au-Cu Project (plus G&A). The company is executing a systematic exploration strategy to grow the MRE and discover new deposits.

These stores will further enhance the Group’s competitive edge in the luxury watch retail market and strengthen its market leading position.Ms. Cindy Yeung, Chairperson of Emperor W&J, said, “Facing the volatile global economy with abundant challenges, the Group expects that consumers will tend to be cautious regarding overall spending. However, gold jewellery, as an alternative form of investment, will continue being well received by Chinese consumers. With the establishment of the strategic partnership with Mr. Chan, the Group will effectively expand its retail network footprint with diversified market segmentation strategies, thereby capturing a share of the enormous opportunities in the Chinese Mainland market.”Ms. Yeung concluded, “The Group expects that the pace of recovery of the global luxury retail market, especially in the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, will be maintained. Free from the concerns of a potential earthquake and political tensions, Chinese consumers generally regard Hong Kong as the destination for luxury watch shopping. This is also supported by tourism stimulus measures such as high profile concerts and mega international events, which will attract more mid-to-high-end consumers to Hong Kong. The Group will continue enhancing its competitive edge and further expand its market presence, and strive to seize the opportunities.”About Emperor Watch & Jewellery LimitedWith long establishment history of over 80 years in Hong Kong since 1942, Emperor W&J (887.HK) is a leading retailer principally engages in the sale of European-made internationally renowned watches, and jewellery products under its own brand, “Emperor Jewellery”.

Strive Gaming and PlayStar Casino announce strategic partnership iGame

Strive Gaming and PlayStar Casino announce strategic partnership

(AsiaGameHub) - Strive Gaming, a modern multi-state, multi-tenanted platform provider crafted specifically for the North American market, has announced a new partnership with leading online casino operator PlayStar. Under the agreement, Strive will supply its market-leading PAM technology to support PlayStar’s ongoing growth across North America. PlayStar will shift its New Jersey operations from its current player account management (PAM) provider to the Strive platform, with subsequent launches planned in additional regulated regions, including Ontario and Alberta in Canada. PlayStar selected Strive following a comprehensive evaluation process as it sought a platform partner capable of backing its long-term aspirations across North America. Strive’s exclusive focus on the U.S. market, coupled with the strength and scalability of its technology, positioned it as the clear partner of choice. Max Meltzer, CEO at Strive Gaming, said: “PlayStar is a highly ambitious operator with a distinct vision for building one of the top casino brands in North America. They were in search of a platform partner that grasps the realities of operating in the U.S. and Canada and can support them as they scale across multiple regulated markets. “Our focus on North America, combined with the robustness and flexibility of our platform, made this a natural fit. Both companies are on strong growth paths and share similar ambitions for the region, so we’re excited to support PlayStar as it continues to expand.” PlayStar Casino has rapidly established itself as one of the success stories in the regulated North American casino market. The company has successfully built meaningful market share and a dedicated player following. Partnering with Strive marks the next phase in its growth strategy as it looks to expand further across North America. Fredrik Liljewall, CEO at PlayStar, added: “As we continue to scale our presence across North America, selecting a platform partner with a strong regional focus and the ability to support our long-term ambitions was crucial. “Strive’s technology, deep understanding of the North American market, and collaborative approach made them the clear partner for PlayStar. We look forward to working closely together as we migrate our New Jersey operations and expand into additional jurisdictions, including Canada.” This partnership marks another significant milestone for Strive Gaming, which now supports more B2B PAM customers in the U.S. than any other platform provider. The inclusion of PlayStar further strengthens Strive’s growing portfolio of operators and reinforces its position as a supplier of choice for ambitious brands seeking to launch and scale in the North American market.

Sistem persaraan kita mendapat gred C-plus; para pembuat dasar mempunyai peluang untuk menaikkannya ke gred A berita

Sistem persaraan kita mendapat gred C-plus; para pembuat dasar mempunyai peluang untuk menaikkannya ke gred A

(SeaPRwire) - Juta-juta orang Amerika tidak mempunyai simpanan yang mencukupi untuk persaraan — dan jutaan lagi tidak tahu dari mana harus memulakan. Dengan Presiden Trump baru-baru ini menunjukkan sistem persaraan Australia sebagai blueprint potensi untuk AS, ini adalah saat yang jarang berlaku di mana momentum reformasi benar-benar sedang membangun. Pembuat dasar harus mengambil peluang ini. Pertimbangkan seorang pekerja muda yang memulakan pekerjaan pertama mereka hari ini. Undang-undang baru-baru ini bermakna mereka berkemungkinan terdaftar secara automatik dalam 401(k) dari hari pertama — kemajuan sebenar. Tetapi jika kita melompat ke beberapa dekad kemudian: pekerja yang sama mungkin telah bekerja dengan enam majikan, mengumpul jalinan akaun kecil, dan masih menghadapi soalan yang mengganggu jutaan orang Amerika: Adakah ini mencukupi? Cerita ini semakin menjadi norma. Jangka hayat yang lebih panjang, kerjaya yang kurang linear, kos sara hidup yang meningkat, dan belanjawan kerajaan yang lebih ketat sedang menentukan semula apa maksud keselamatan persaraan. Akta SECURE 2019 dan penggantinya pada 2022 telah membuat kemajuan yang bermakna — tetapi jurang dalam perlindungan jangka hayat, kecukupan simpanan, dan liputan masih wujud. Dengan rancangan 401(k) dan 403(b) kini menjadi tulang belakang persaraan untuk kebanyakan orang Amerika, kes untuk reformasi yang lebih mendalam adalah mendesak. Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index — yang menilai sistem persaraan di lebih 50 pasaran berdasarkan kecukupan, kelestarian, dan integriti — menjadikan masalah ini nyata. AS skor baik dalam integriti tetapi sentiasa ketinggalan dalam kecukupan dan kelestarian, iaitu tempat di mana reformasi boleh memberi kesan segera yang paling besar. Hasilnya: AS berada di tengah-tengah kedudukan global manakala negara seperti Australia memimpin. Tanpa reformasi, lebih ramai orang Amerika berisiko mencapai persaraan tanpa pendapatan yang mencukupi — atau alat untuk mengakses apa yang mereka telah simpan. Di mana reformasi paling diperlukan 1. Ubah simpanan menjadi pendapatan yang berterusan Menyimpan hanyalah separuh cabaran. Masalah yang lebih sukar adalah menukar baki 401(k) kepada pendapatan yang boleh dipercayai dan tidak akan habis. Selalunya, pekerja berubah pekerjaan dan mengeluarkan wang dari akaun kecil daripada memindahkannya — mengurangkan simpanan persaraan mereka secara kekal. Dengan populasi AS yang berumur lebih 60 dijangka berganda pada 2050, risiko jangka hayat bukanlah perkara abstrak. Proses rollover yang lebih mudah dan pendedahan yang lebih jelas akan banyak membantu pekerja memelihara simpanan mereka — dan merancang persaraan yang boleh berlangsung selama 30 tahun. 2. Tutup jurang liputan Simpanan persaraan di AS masih sangat tidak sekata. Pekerja muda, pekerja separuh masa, dan penjaga adalah yang paling kurang layanan — dan ramai di antaranya mempunyai sedikit keterlihatan tentang sama ada mereka berada di landasan yang betul. Tiga penyelesaian yang disasarkan boleh menutup sebahagian besar jurang itu: pendaftaran semula automatik untuk pekerja yang sebelum ini memilih keluar; meluaskan liputan kepada pekerja di bawah 21 tahun, berdasarkan pengembangan Akta SECURE untuk pekerja separuh masa; dan sumbangan tangkapan khas untuk penjaga yang sementara meninggalkan tenaga kerja. Bersama-sama, perubahan ini akan meluaskan akses dan memberi ganjaran kepada pekerja yang paling berisiko ketinggalan. 3. Memodenkan pelaburan — dan mengurangkan risiko undang-undang Pada 2025, Presiden menandatangani perintah eksekutif yang mengarahkan pengawal selia untuk melegakan sekatan ke atas pelaburan pasaran swasta dalam rancangan 401(k) — mengikuti pendekatan lama Australia. Memberi akses kepada penyimpan kepada ekuiti swasta, modal ventura, dan aset digital boleh meningkatkan kepelbagaian dan hasil. Tetapi ramai majikan masih menunggu panduan jelas mengenai pelabuhan selamat fidusiari, kecairan, dan yuran sebelum bertindak. Membenarkan rancangan 403(b) — yang meliputi jutaan pekerja kerajaan dan bukan untung — untuk melabur dalam amanah pelaburan kolektif, seperti yang sudah boleh dilakukan oleh rancangan 401(k), akan mengurangkan kos dan meluaskan akses untuk segmen tenaga kerja yang kurang layanan. Risiko undang-undang juga menjadi halangan yang semakin meningkat. Rancangan yang dibiayai oleh majikan telah menghadapi lonjakan litigan dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, dan pembuat dasar harus meneroka cara yang disasarkan untuk menghalang tuntutan undang-undang yang tidak perlu sambil mengekalkan tuntutan yang sah berdaya maju. Pencen masih penting Kebanyakan simpanan persaraan baru kini mengalir ke dalam 401(k) dan 403(b), tetapi bahagian penting dari kekayaan persaraan sedia ada masih berada dalam pencen faedah ditentukan tradisional. Memodenkan sistem tidak boleh bermakna meninggalkan apa yang masih berfungsi. Menurunkan premium Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) akan menggalakkan majikan untuk terus menaja rancangan DB. Fleksibiliti yang lebih besar dalam menggunakan aset lebihan DB juga boleh memberi manfaat kepada kedua-dua pekerja dan penaja rancangan. Pembuat dasar juga harus menyokong reka bentuk DB yang mengurangkan turun naik kewangan untuk penaja — seperti rancangan majikan gabungan, yang akan memudahkan organisasi kecil untuk menawarkan pencen sama sekali. Inti perkara Dasar persaraan yang lebih baik bukanlah tentang memenangi kedudukan global. Ia adalah tentang memastikan generasi akan datang boleh bersara dengan maruah — walaupun kerjaya menjadi kurang linear dan jangka hayat menjadi lebih panjang. Reformasi yang digariskan di sini — mengembangkan pilihan pendapatan seumur hidup, menutup jurang liputan, memodenkan peraturan pelaburan, mengurangkan risiko undang-undang, dan mengukuhkan perlindungan pencen — akan menjadikan sistem AS lebih tahan lasak dan lebih adil. Tetingkap untuk bertindak adalah terbuka. Pembuat dasar tidak harus membiarkannya tertutup.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Goldman mengangkat peluang tabung kematian ekonomi ke 30% akibat naiknya inflasi, turunnya perspektif GDP dan lonjakan harga minyak berita

Goldman mengangkat peluang tabung kematian ekonomi ke 30% akibat naiknya inflasi, turunnya perspektif GDP dan lonjakan harga minyak

(SeaPRwire) - Goldman Sachs menyuarakan nada berhati-hati terhadap ekonomi AS, meningkatkan ramalan inflasi dan mengurangkan prospek pertumbuhan sebagai tindak balas kepada lonjakan harga minyak yang disebabkan oleh gangguan di Selat Hormuz. Namun, walaupun risiko kemelesetan meningkat, kebanyakan kes asas Wall Street kekal sebagai pertumbuhan yang lebih perlahan — bukannya kemerosotan yang nyata.Dalam kemas kini ekonomi mingguan AS yang diterbitkan pada hari Selasa, Goldman Sachs berkata ia kini menjangkakan minyak mentah Brent akan purata $105 setong pada bulan Mac dan $115 pada bulan April sebelum turun semula ke $80 menjelang akhir tahun, dengan andaian gangguan bekalan Hormuz berlaku selama kira-kira enam minggu. Berdasarkan prospek minyak yang disemak semula itu, bank tersebut menaikkan ramalan inflasi PCE utamanya sebanyak 0.2 mata peratusan kepada 3.1% menjelang Disember 2026 dan menurunkan sedikit anggaran pertumbuhan KDNK setahun penuh kepada 2.1%. Goldman Sachs juga menaikkan kebarangkalian kemelesetannya sebanyak 5 mata peratusan — kepada 30% — sambil menegaskan bahawa kemelesetan masih bukan kes asasnya.Satu jaminan relatif: Goldman Sachs tidak menjangkakan kejutan minyak akan menjejaskan jangkaan inflasi secara berterusan. Malah kejutan tenaga utama dalam sejarah baru-baru ini tidak menghasilkan anjakan berterusan dalam jangkaan pengguna dan perniagaan terhadap harga, kata bank itu, walaupun ia menandakan psikologi inflasi pasca-pandemik sebagai risiko yang perlu diperhatikan. Sesetengah penganalisis melihat kebarangkalian kemelesetan yang lebih tinggi Pendapat di seluruh Wall Street berbeza secara ketara, dengan sesetengah pihak menawarkan amaran yang lebih drastik daripada Goldman Sachs tentang potensi kemelesetan. Bob Michele dari JPMorgan telah memberi amaran bahawa perang Iran bukan sekadar "bonggol kelajuan" inflasi, menolak unjuran Fed sendiri dan berhujah bahawa tekanan harga boleh kekal tinggi sehingga separuh kedua tahun ini. EY-Parthenon meletakkan kebarangkalian kemelesetan pada 40%, memetik kesan berantai pada infrastruktur LNG dan sistem penapisan melampaui pasaran minyak itu sendiri. Ketua Ekonomi Moody’s Analytics, Mark Zandi, telah berhujah bahawa kebarangkalian kemelesetan adalah hampir seimbang — sebelum perang meletus. Namun yang lain melihat keadaan ekonomi dengan lebih optimis. BNP Paribas berhujah bahawa AS "berada dalam kedudukan yang baik untuk menyerap kejutan itu," merujuk kepada status Amerika sebagai pengeluar minyak mentah terbesar di dunia dan pengeksport tenaga bersih — satu kelebihan struktur yang tidak wujud semasa kejutan minyak pada tahun 1970-an dan 1980-an. Harga minyak yang lebih tinggi mengagihkan semula pendapatan dalam ekonomi AS dan bukannya mengalirkannya ke luar negara, sekali gus mengehadkan kerosakan makro. AS juga menggunakan tenaga yang jauh lebih sedikit bagi setiap unit KDNK berbanding dekad-dekad sebelumnya, mengurangkan impak inflasi yang dibawa oleh kejutan bekalan masa lalu. Fed melangkah di atas garisan yang halus Federal Reserve mengekalkan kadar polisinya stabil pada 3.5%–3.75% pada mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pasaran Terbuka Persekutuan (FOMC) minggu lepas — satu keputusan yang disifatkan oleh Goldman Sachs sebagai "sedikit lebih hawkish daripada yang dijangkakan". Pengerusi Jerome Powell mengakui risiko inflasi daripada minyak sambil meletakkan kebimbangan pekerjaan dan harga pada tahap yang sama, memberi isyarat bahawa pemotongan kadar tetap mungkin tetapi tidak akan berlaku dalam masa terdekat. Goldman Sachs masih menjangkakan dua pemotongan 25 mata asas pada bulan September dan Disember, membawa kadar kepada 3–3.25% menjelang akhir tahun, dan menolak penetapan harga pasaran yang telah mula mengambil kira kenaikan kadar. Hasilnya sangat bergantung pada satu pembolehubah: berapa lama gangguan Hormuz berlarutan. De-eskalasi yang pantas akan membolehkan premium risiko minyak pudar dan mengehadkan kerosakan ekonomi kepada beberapa persepuluh mata peratusan pertumbuhan. Sebaliknya, konflik yang berpanjangan akan mengukuhkan kos tenaga, menyekat perbelanjaan pengguna, dan memaksa Fed ke sudut yang semakin tidak selesa. Goldman Sachs kini meletakkan senario terburuk itu — yang teruk dan berterusan — sebagai risiko ekstrim, bukannya ramalan. Buat masa ini, kes asas di kebanyakan Wall Street adalah ekonomi yang perlahan tetapi bertahan — dengan inflasi yang berjalan lebih panas daripada yang diinginkan oleh Fed, pertumbuhan di bawah potensi jangka panjangnya, dan berita geopolitik beberapa bulan akan datang yang akan menentukan senario mana yang akhirnya menang.

Exclusive: Platform AI Origin Capai $30 Juta Pendanaan Baru untuk Memberikan Tampilan Pengguna kepada HRB (Chief Human Resources Officer) Mengenai Penggunaan dan Pengeluaran Manfaat

(SeaPRwire) - Origin, sebuah syarikat pemula yang berpangkalan di London yang membina platform berkuasa AI untuk membantu syarikat multinasional menguruskan faedah pekerja mereka, telah mengumpul $30 juta dalam pembiayaan modal teroka baharu.Pembiayaan tersebut, yang dipanggil oleh syarikat sebagai pusingan Siri A+ lanjutan, menjadikan jumlah keseluruhan dana yang dikumpul oleh Origin dalam tempoh 12 bulan yang lalu kepada lebih daripada $50 juta.Pelaburan terbaru ini diketuai oleh Notion Capital, yang juga mengambil bahagian dalam Siri A awal Origin. Felix Capital, yang mengetuai pusingan sebelumnya, Acadian Ventures, dan semua pelabur sedia ada yang lain turut mengambil bahagian, kata syarikat itu. Ia juga menyatakan bahawa ia telah memperoleh “pembiayaan pertumbuhan tambahan” daripada HSBC Innovation Banking U.K. bersama-sama dengan pusingan teroka baharu tersebut. Pelabur budiman Origin termasuk Paul Daugherty, bekas ketua pegawai teknologi dan inovasi Accenture; Jacqui Canney, ketua pegawai orang dan pendayagunaan AI di ServiceNow; dan Tudor Havriliuc, bekas naib presiden sumber manusia di Meta, yang memegang jawatan tersebut dari 2010 hingga 2022. Syarikat itu enggan memberikan penilaiannya berikutan pembiayaan terbaru ini, tetapi menyatakan ia adalah penilaian yang lebih tinggi daripada penilaiannya selepas Siri A awal. Origin diasaskan oleh Chris Bruce dan Pete Craghill, pasukan kepimpinan di sebalik Darwin, sebuah syarikat perisian teknologi faedah, yang asalnya dipanggil Thomsons Online Benefits, yang telah diambil alih oleh Mercer pada tahun 2016. Pada masa pengambilalihannya, Darwin memegang 80% bahagian pasaran bagi pasaran pentadbiran faedah global bukan AS, menurut Bruce. Bruce memberitahu bahawa idea untuk Origin datang daripada perbincangan yang beliau lakukan dengan Craghill pada musim panas 2023 di mana mereka berdua memerhatikan bagaimana kemajuan dalam AI dan model bahasa besar kini boleh menangani masalah yang telah mereka cuba dan gagal selesaikan sepenuhnya 15 tahun sebelumnya: memberikan syarikat besar gambaran yang jelas tentang apa yang mereka belanjakan untuk faedah pekerja secara global. “Ia sememangnya tidak mungkin tanpa AI,” kata Bruce. Bagi kebanyakan organisasi, faedah adalah kos kedua terbesar mereka, tetapi mereka kekurangan keterlihatan terhadap apa yang mereka belanjakan. Bruce berkata seorang ketua pegawai kewangan pelanggan memberitahunya bahawa syarikat itu percaya ia membelanjakan kira-kira $750 juta untuk faedah tetapi tidak mempunyai cara untuk mengesahkan angka tersebut. “Saya mempunyai keterlihatan pada setiap baris bajet dalam organisasi, kecuali faedah,” Bruce mengenang kata-kata CFO tersebut. Punca masalah itu, kata Craghill, adalah data faedah dalam organisasi multinasional tersebar di seluruh PDF, polisi insurans, platform vendor, dan dokumen tempatan dalam berpuluh-puluh bahasa. “Anda mempunyai semua data tidak berstruktur ini di seluruh dunia, dan tiada penyelesaian untuknya,” kata Craghill. “Ia sentiasa menjadi masalah manusia.” Beliau berkata Origin menghabiskan 18 bulan pertamanya memberi tumpuan untuk menyelesaikan cabaran pengambilan data, belajar cara menilai kualiti dan kesempurnaan bahan sumber yang sangat tidak konsisten. Platform Origin, yang dikuasakan oleh enjin AI yang dipanggil syarikat sebagai Cuido, mengambil dan menyusun data yang berpecah-belah itu—daripada polisi, kontrak, pembaharuan, laporan broker, dan platform vendor—ke dalam satu sistem rekod yang boleh disoal selidik. Menggunakan platform tersebut, eksekutif HR boleh menjejaki perbelanjaan dan penggunaan faedah, serta mengendalikan pembaharuan, semakan polisi, dan aliran kerja tadbir urus. Pekerja juga boleh menyoal platform Origin untuk bertanya tentang faedah yang tersedia untuk mereka. Dalam syarikat multinasional dengan tawaran faedah yang kompleks di geografi yang berbeza, mendapatkan jawapan kepada soalan yang kelihatan mudah ini sering kali mengambil masa berhari-hari. Kini, ia hanya mengambil masa beberapa minit. Walaupun itu baik untuk pekerja, ganjaran sebenar untuk menggunakan platform Origin adalah ia membantu syarikat merasionalkan perbelanjaan faedah mereka, mengurangkan pertindihan, atau membantu mereka menyatukan penyedia, menurut Bruce. Syarikat yang CFO-nya menganggarkan beliau membelanjakan $750 juta setahun untuk faedah, kini menjangkakan untuk menjimatkan sekitar $75 juta dengan menggunakan platform Origin, kata Bruce. Seorang lagi pelanggan Origin menyatukan 13 polisi insurans tempatan ke dalam satu pelan serantau, mencapai penjimatan kos sebanyak 20%, menurut syarikat itu. Platform Cuido milik Origin telah dicipta bersama dengan kerjasama beberapa majikan multinasional besar yang berkhidmat sebagai pelanggan utama Origin, termasuk Pfizer, Comcast, dan BP. Bruce berkata syarikat itu telah mendekati 11 syarikat multinasional utama dua tahun lalu, berkongsi visinya, dan meminta mereka mendaftar sebagai pencipta bersama yang membayar. Tujuh daripada 11 syarikat tersebut bersetuju. Sebuah syarikat teknologi besar yang pada mulanya menolak untuk membina sistem yang serupa secara dalaman akhirnya menyertai Origin 10 bulan kemudian selepas meninggalkan usahanya sendiri, kata Bruce. Origin kini mempunyai kira-kira 75 pekerja dan pasukan pasaran di Amerika Syarikat serta United Kingdom dan Eropah. Syarikat itu menggunakan apa yang dipanggil Bruce sebagai “model harga berasaskan nilai” yang terikat dengan kerumitan organisasi pelanggan, termasuk bilangan negara di mana ia beroperasi. Pembiayaan baharu Origin akan digunakan untuk memperdalam integrasi ke dalam platform pengurusan modal insan sedia ada, seperti daripada Workday dan Peoplesoft milik Oracle, supaya maklumat faedah boleh diakses di tempat pekerja sudah bekerja, dan untuk mengembangkan keupayaan rakan kongsi Origin bagi broker, perunding, dan penanggung insurans. Andy Leaver, rakan kongsi operasi di Notion Capital, berkata dalam satu kenyataan bahawa firmanya menggandakan pelaburan dalam Origin kerana kelajuan dan pelaksanaan pasukan tersebut. “Faedah adalah salah satu fungsi perusahaan utama terakhir yang masih ketinggalan oleh gelombang pendigitalan sejak 25 tahun yang lalu,” kata Leaver. “AI kini membolehkan pembinaan sistem rekod dan kecerdasan sebenar untuk faedah.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Sumitomo Heavy Industries and NEC to develop system capable of identifying and reporting near-miss incidents

TOKYO, Mar 25, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. (SHI) and NEC Corporation (NEC) will begin joint development in April 2026 of a system that automatically identifies near-miss incidents at construction sites and generates reports as part of promoting safety. The system utilizes camera footage and sensor data collected from hydraulic excavators, aiming to prevent accidents.Overview of safety measure implementation using the jointly developed systemBackgroundConstruction industry operations are heavily influenced by unpredictable factors such as weather, geological conditions, and constantly changing work environments, resulting in frequent hazardous incidents. To enhance safety, there is growing demand for new support systems that leverage digital technologies. One such demand is for a system capable of automatically extracting, visualizing, and summarizing potentially hazardous scenes ("risk scenes") from site-specific and time-dependent video footage and work logs. However, within the construction industry, no technology is currently available for comprehensively supporting the entire process—from the accumulation of video data on construction machinery operations, to the extraction of risk scenes, the analysis and visualization of near-miss incidents, and, ultimately, the generation of reports in an end to-end manner.Against this backdrop, SHI—leveraging its expertise in construction machinery and data analytics—and NEC, with its long-cultivated capabilities in video recognition and cutting edge generative AI technologies, will jointly initiate the development of a first-of-its-kind system for the construction industry that automatically extracts near miss incidents and generates corresponding reports based on camera footage and sensor data captured from hydraulic excavators.OverviewThe new system will utilize an extraction AI model, trained on real world hydraulic excavator data accumulated on the SHI Group’s ICT/IoT common platform "SHICuTe" (1), to first identify and extract risk scenes from recorded video footage. These risk scenes, together with operational data from the hydraulic excavators, will then be analyzed using NEC’s proprietary technology that combines video recognition with generative AI (2), and stored as multimodal data incorporating temporal and spatial information. Based on this data, along with SHI’s expertise in construction-site machinery operations and human workflows, the system will cross reference hazardous and prohibited behavior data—which are defined by accidents, construction equipment failures, and operations requiring particular attention—as well as company specific data. Based on these matching results, the system will automatically identify the risk scenes that should be reported and automatically generate high quality near miss reports that provide a concise summary of the circumstances surrounding each incident.Prior to this initiative, a technical proof of concept was conducted in September 2025 to verify a system that automatically extracts near miss incidents and generates reports from video footage captured by cameras mounted on hydraulic excavators. The results confirmed that, based on the risk scenes extracted from the footage, the system was able to report near miss cases—including potential accident scenarios and their associated circumstances. Building on these outcomes, the joint development starting in April 2026 will aim to further expand the types of near miss incidents that can be identified and enhance the report generation capabilities in line with customers’ safety management needs, thereby contributing to the realization of safer construction sites.Process for generating near miss reportsOutlookIn fiscal year 2026, technical development and validation of the system will be advanced by utilizing on site data and safety management expertise from SHI, together with AI technologies and advanced technology consulting services provided by NEC, with the aim of achieving practical implementation in fiscal year 2027. Looking ahead, the companies plan to broaden the system’s applicability beyond scenes where physical contact between workers and machinery may lead to occupational accidents to include unsafe conditions that may not be readily recognized by workers, as well as considerations for site specific operational rules, thereby further expanding its scope of use.SHI and NEC will continue to combine their respective strengths to develop and validate new technologies, contributing to the realization of safer construction sites.(1) SHICuTe is a common platform that enables cross functional development of capabilities across the product lines of the SHI Group.
