Bahrain, MIT collaborate to advance the natural pearl business using technology

With the aid of Massachusetts Institute of Technology experts, Bahrain is working to revitalize its pearl industry.

A three-year partnership between the top US institution and the Bahrain Institute for Pearls andIt will make it easier to distinguish between farmed pearls made by humans and highly valued natural pearls.

This is a component of the Bahraini government's dedication to natural pearls, a pricey commodity that for thousands of years served as the primary source of wealth for the Gulf region, including the UAE.

Danat is dedicated to Bahrain's goal of preserving and advancing its history of pearling.

In order to enhance and solidify Bahrain's position as a major producer of natural pearls, the country of Bahrain launched a national plan to revitalize the pearl industry in 2017.

Gemstones (Danat), a gemological laboratory that specializes in the examination and research of genuine pearls, has been established.

In order to individually identify a natural pearl and assure traceability "from sea to consumer," this research will attempt to determine the region of origin and manner of growth.

Admir Masic, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at MIT, and Vladimir Bulovic, the Fariborz Maseeh chairman in emerging technologies and professor of electrical engineering and computer science, will be in charge of the partnership between Danat and MIT.

The initiative will automate the classification of pearls using machine learning, allowing researchers to look into ways to come up with a special identity for each pearl.

Working with Danat gives us a special chance to use the methods for multi-scale materials characterisation developed in our lab to find potentially species-specific pearl fingerprints, according to Mr Masic.

"A large variety of diverse species generate pearls, which are extraordinarily intricate and intriguing hierarchically arranged biological materials."

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Sudan have a long-standing history of bilateral relations.

Over the years, the UAE has been a strong supporter of Sudan's development and prosperity. As Sudan faces challenging times, it is important that this support continues. The UAE has been a key player in Sudan's development, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, health, education, and renewable energy. In recent years, the UAE has also provided aid and support to Sudan in the aftermath of natural disasters, such as floods and droughts. This assistance has played a crucial role in mitigating the effects of these disasters on the people of Sudan. The current situation in Sudan is particularly challenging, with political instability and economic difficulties plaguing the country. The people of Sudan are facing a myriad of issues, including inflation, unemployment, and a lack of basic necessities like food and clean water. In addition, the ongoing conflict in the region has only exacerbated the situation, causing immense suffering to the people of Sudan. In light of these

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Saudi Arabia can import halal Kobe beef from Japan

Japan is now the third nation authorized to export beef to the Muslim world, along with Saudi Arabia. At a signing ceremony, Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan Al-Saud and Tomoshige Kanzawa, president of the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association, confirmed the certification for the Kingdom. In Saudi Arabia, beef can only be consumed if it has been processed in accordance with religious regulations and is marked as halal. Thirteen Arabic-speaking nations now have access to halal Kobe beef thanks to Saudi business Fam Al-Ghidha. In order to sign the agreement and sample Kobe beef, Prince Faisal traveled to Japan. Motohiko Saito, the governor of Hyogo Prefecture, and Masao Imanishi, the deputy mayor of Kobe City, also attended the ceremony. For the first time in Japan, the meat center in Sanda City, central Japan, achieved halal certification in October of last year. The145 heads of halal Kobe beef are expected to be sent to Saudi Arabia this year. In a
