U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone for the firm's flagship exchange-traded fund (ETF). The company's gold-focused ETF, the U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (GOAU), is now officially trading on the Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC)—the Colombian Securities Exchange. This strategic move marks an important step in U.S. Global Investors' ongoing efforts to expand the accessibility and global footprint of its ETF offerings. By entering the Colombian market, U.S. Global is now providing Colombian retail and institutional investors with an opportunity to gain exposure to the gold and precious metals sector through a diversified and professionally managed ETF product. GOAU offers investors access to companies that are directly involved in the production of gold and other precious metals, including those engaged in active mining operations as well as firms that operate on a royalty or streaming model. The ETF is now part of the Nuam Market, a regional integration initiative that links the stock exchanges of Colombia, Chile, and Peru, aiming to create broader capital market opportunities across the Andean region. As Holmes highlighted, GOAU becomes only the third gold-related ETF currently listed on the BVC, joining a physical gold ETF and a UCITS-compliant gold equity ETF. Holmes emphasized that the expansion into Colombia demonstrates the company's commitment to making its investment products more accessible to international markets and serving the evolving needs of investors across different regulatory and economic environments. The company anticipates growing demand in Colombia and throughout Latin America as investors seek reliable, performance-oriented tools to participate in the ongoing strength of the gold and precious metals markets. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #grow #etf #trip #travel #colombia #SmartBeta #ETFs #NYSE #SmartBeta #GoldStocks #RoyaltyCompanies #GoldMarket #InvestingInGold #LatinAmericaMarkets #ColombianStockExchange #FrancoNevada #WheatonPrecious #RoyalGold #GoldInvestment #ETFs

Carolyn Holmes’ new book, The Black and White Rainbow: Reconciliation, Opposition, and Nation-building in Democratic South Africa (U Michigan Press, 2020),takes its title from a cartoon that captured the complicated nature of democratization and nation-building in South Africa in the period that followed the end of apartheid. As Holmes explains in her deeply researched book, the promise of a diverse “rainbow coalition” that was to characterize the “new” South Africa has been caught within the structural and political constraints of a nation that is in tension within itself in a variety of different ways. The Black and White Rainbow examines the tensions at the heart of democracy building—which sets different groups in opposition to each other in the competition of ideas and policies that come from those ideas—and nation building—which works to bring together disparate groups of people into a unified whole. These competing forms of creating political structure within a country have worked to reify some of the racial distinctions that were to be overcome in this new South Africa. Holmes also highlights the quandary within South Africa in terms of trying to transition from the previous, apartheid state to a new, diverse country; this quandary is one that combines the yearning to move on and put the violence and difficulties of the past behind, and the need and desire not to forget these scars of the past. Holmes pulls together a variety of sources for her research—but most impressive are the interviews she was able to do in order to get at the idea of identity in South Africa and what this idea means to a variety of South African citizens. These interviews also posed complexities for Holmes, in terms of the answers she received and some she did not, when subjects of her interviews cut her off. The structure of the interviews, the questions asked, and how the interviewer exists in that space and context were also considered in terms of the information and the analysis of the responses. This is a multi-layered analysis that brings together political science as a framework for the investigation, but also integrates ethnography and sociology to help deepen the analysis and the understanding that comes from these interviews. The Black and White Rainbow: Reconciliation, Opposition, and Nation-Building in Democratic South Africa is a fascinating interrogation of nation-building in South Africa, and what this means for the country and for the citizens within it as they continue to struggle to live together in a democratic state. At the very center of this struggle is the question of identity, which itself is not a new concept, but is the focus of so much research and analysis in many different countries. Lilly J. Goren is professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), as well as co-editor of Mad Men and Politics: Nostalgia and the Remaking of Modern America (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015).

Actions taken at the outset of an investigation at a fire and arson scene can play a pivotal role in the resolution of a case. Careful, thorough investigation is key to ensuring that potential physical evidence is not tainted or destroyed, or potential witnesses overlooked. Arthur Conan Doyle’s literary detective Sherlock Holmes is quoted as saying, 'It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly, one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts.' As Holmes pointed out, many types of investigations are susceptible to prejudgment, but few as often as fire scene investigations. Fires, by their destructive nature, consume the evidence of their initiation and progress as they grow. Investigations are compromised, and often scenes are further destroyed by the activities of the fire service, whose primary responsibilities are to save lives and protect property against further damage. In this podcast, I explore how cases of arson are determined, the motivating factors for someone to commit such an attack and what fire patters can reveal to the trained eye. I also make reference to a number of high profile cases involving fire investigations.
"forbear from crossing the moor in those dark hours" [HOUN] One of the most iconic characters in the Sherlock Holmes stories is not a character at all. It's Dartmoor. As Holmes himself said of it, "Never been there? Ah, well, I don’t suppose you will forget your first visit.” Dartmoor is a land that's filled with beauty, mystery, and intrigue. In other words, the perfect setting for a Sherlock Holmes story. It's just a Trifle.

During the Second World War millions of Britons tuned in nightly to hear the broadcasts of Lord Haw-Haw coming from Nazi Germany. Though the label was broadly applied to a number of English-speaking broadcasters, it was most famously associated with William Joyce. In Searching for Lord Haw-Haw: The Political Lives of William Joyce (Routledge, 2016), Colin Holmes provides a study of Joyce's life that unravels many of the mysteries and misconceptions surrounding it. He chronicles Joyce's early years in Ireland, where his work as an informer and his family's association with the British during the War of Independence led to his relocation to London after the Irish won their independence. There he quickly found a home in the embryonic Fascist movement, in which became a leading figure. His clashes with Oswald Mosley in the mid-1930s brought about Joyce's purge from the British Union of Fascists in 1937 and the formation of his own National Socialist League. Yet it was Joyce's relocation to Germany on the eve of war in 1939 that won him the attention he long craved, as he quickly established himself as the Nazi's leading English-language propagandist. As Holmes shows, however, this fame came at a price, as Joyce's efforts on behalf of Germany led after the end of the war to his arrest and execution for treason the last person in British history to face such an ignominious end.

In Searching for Lord Haw-Haw: The Political Lives of William Joyce (Routledge, 2016), Colin Holmes provides a study of Joyce’s life that unravels many of the mysteries and misconceptions surrounding it. He chronicles Joyce’s early years in Ireland, where his work as an informer and his family’s association with the British during the War of Independence led to his relocation to London after the Irish won their independence. There he quickly found a home in the embryonic Fascist movement, in which became a leading figure. His clashes with Oswald Mosley in the mid-1930s brought about Joyce’s purge from the British Union of Fascists in 1937 and the formation of his own National Socialist League. Yet it was Joyce’s relocation to Germany on the eve of war in 1939 that won him the attention he long craved, as he quickly established himself as the Nazi’s leading English-language propagandist. As Holmes shows, however, this fame came at a price, as Joyce’s efforts on behalf of Germany led after the end of the war to his arrest and execution for treason the last person in British history to face such an ignominious end.
