Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine has not halted the surrogacy boom there. Instead, the industry has adapted, despite the war risking surrogate mothers’ physical and mental wellbeing. Why is Ukraine the main surrogacy hub in Europe – and at what cost?

Some experts speculate that these are early signs of AI moving into the workforce and replacing jobs. Microsoft is one company at the center of this debate, so Monica sat down with its president Brad Smith to ask: is AI already taking our jobs? And if so, what can we do about it?

50 years ago, on Friday, April 4th 1975, two guys from Seattle launched a software company in a strip mall in Albuquerque NM.. That business would soon relocate to Redmond, Washington… and those Lakeside kids, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, did all right. The Windows operating system would go on to dominate the personal computer industry. Today, Microsoft is one of the most profitable companies in the world. And its presence laid the groundwork for the Puget Sound region as a hub for engineering and technical talent. The path to where we are now had some bumps: Antitrust problems, and product flops. But after 5 decades the company endures, and thrives – as one of the biggest players in the emerging AI space. Holding onto that status, and figuring out the next big thing in the tech world, isn’t easy. In light of the big 50-milestone, KUOW labor and economy reporter Monica Nickelsburg recently sat down with Microsoft’s vice chair and president Brad Smith to discuss the past, and the future, of the company.Guest: Monica Nickelsburg, KUOW labor and economy reporter and co-host of the Booming podcast Related Links: Booming - KUOW Tax the rich?

Experts say kids are spinning out online. Can Washington lawmakers help by putting seatbelts on social media? Parents, tech workers and even kids are asking for social media regulation, and there’s a bill moving through the Washington State Legislature that could make it happen. Senate Bill 5708 would block apps like Instagram and Snapchat from using addictive algorithms to keep kids scrolling. It would also require apps to stop sending push notifications late at night and during school hours. Monica talked to social psychologist Ravi Iyer from the University of Southern California about what these regulations might mean - not just for kids, but parents and the companies themselves.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal, founder and CEO of InvestorKit, and Jack Fouracre, partnership manager at Fouracre Financial, discuss the three key traits of a booming property market in Australia. According to the co-hosts, smart investors who want to grow their portfolio must understand the property markets and recognise the three key factors that allow them to make data-driven decisions. Arjun and Jack said that the primary key criterion is the number of days a property stays on the market (DOM), with a reduction in DOM indicating a hot market where properties sell quickly, enhancing buyer urgency and seller confidence. The second trait is tight rental markets, as shown by low vacancy rates, which indicate strong demand and drive up property values. Finally, the third trait is inverse growth rates, where markets that underperformed in the past, like Sydney and Perth, are poised for a rebound. Using Townsville as an example, the co-hosts share strategies on identifying the three key factors that signal a growth cycle and a good property investment.

Today, let's acquire Wasim Munayyer's insights into the freight tech industry and its rising demand! Wasim shares his extensive experience in recruiting and logistics, the significance of industry knowledge for candidates entering tech companies, the positive momentum in freight tech-driven by factors like the re-industrialization of the United States, and his perspectives on recruitment trends!   About Wasim Munayyer Wasim started his career working for technology recruiting firms in his home state of New Jersey as well as one of the largest firms in NYC. Later he joined Yusen Logistics, tasked with driving corporate recruitment for their North America business. It was in those years Yusen still had 3 divisions; Domestic Transportation, Freight Forwarding, and Contract Logistics. Making over 200 hires in 2 years across 3 divisions offered a thorough introduction into multimodal logistics. Wasim also lead corporate recruiting at Ports America for 2 years, adding a layer of knowledge in terminal/port operations. Being on the client end of the recruiting firm relationship for 4 years in this industry, Wasim realized that the industry was evolving into a space that would demand technology driven supply chain talent and that there was not a search firm out there which offered this blended niche talent.   Connect with Wasim Website: https://munayyergroup.com/  Email: wasim@munayyergroup.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wasimmunayyer/   

This is episode 214 and we're going to probe the fascinating and these days, hidden history of Port Elizabeth or Gqeberha, a bit about indentured Indians arriving in South Africa, and a spot of Boer Republic rebellion. It's hardly ever a quiet day in sunny South Africa. In the eyes of most folks of the south, the Windy City features as a minor point on the urban map and in popular consciousness. The people of the city however are fiercly patriotic, and fiercely independent. Always smaller than Cape Town in terms of population size, never the seat of government, it's enormous importance as a premier centre of trade and finance in southern Africa has been readily overlooked. Yet from the 1850s all the way through to the 1880s, Port Elizabeth was called “The Liverpool of the Cape” and for some years in that period, was the centre of the Cape's economy. Coming soon, however, was the discovery of Diamonds that would shift power to Kimberley, then later in the 1880s, to gold and power would shift again to Johannesburg. The period of the mid-19th Century, saw the financial heart shift from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth although the elites of Table Bay continued to hold sway. A commercial elite of merchants, accountants, lawyers and other professions controlled the economies of Cape Colonial towns. Cape Town was the seat of government, it's population had grown to 25 000 people and was easily the largest urban centre in southern Africa. There were only 17 joint stock companies in 1859. Only five towns outside Cape Town, Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth had local banks. There was a cozy and close link between the merchants of Cape Town and the government. Similar links existed between local government officials and merchants in the smaller towns which enhanced the ability of local commercial heavyweights to control trade through their districts. There was a constant tussle between the local merchants and the businesses that controlled the ports. Port Merchants were closer to the maritime traffic, closer to the heart of the empire, London, and acted like a commercial filter between the periphery and the centre. In 1857 Merchant John Paterson gathered a few like-minded entrepreneurs around him and floated the Standard Bank of Port Elizabeth. It sank almost immediately, funds were hard to come by. These merchants however had direct links with London, they bypassed the Cape Towners — and by this time half the ships sailing between South Africa and Britain were leaving from Port Elizabeth. Paterson gathered his entrepreneur pals together again in March 1859 and sailed to England where he launched his prospectus the the Standard Bank of British South Africa in April 1860. A Group of Cape Town merchants were not to be outdone by this eastern Cape upstart and in July the London and South Africa Bank .. henceforth to be known as the L and SA Bank, came into being. Governor Sir George Grey was very interested in all of these moves, and is believed to have intervened to help the Cape Town group as they negotiated for a charter and necessary capital. Port Elizabeth traders regarded the L and SA bank in a negative light. Despite their reservations, they could not deny the power of the bankers of Cape Town — a branch of the L and SA bank was opened in Port Elizabeth in 1861, and eventually, The Standard Bank's progenitor, Paterson, managed to scrounge together the funds and opened in 1862. South Africa was changing fast by 1860. In Natal, Grey believed the answer to the chronic labour shortage was the introduction of indentured Indians. These were to make their way to Natal over the next few decades, but Grey's initial request was rejected by the Indian Government. Speaking of success, that is a not a word you'd probably have used to describe the Boer Republics of 1860. They were sinking deeper and deeper into confusion and outright impotence.

Interview with Nic Earner, Managing Director of Alkane Resources Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/alkane-resources-asxalk-fully-funded-growth-plan-exploration-upside-for-potential-re-rating-6182Recording date: 18th February 2025Alkane Resources, an ASX-listed gold producer operating in New South Wales, is capitalizing on record-high Australian gold prices of around A$4,600 per ounce. The company has positioned itself for strong performance with recent operational improvements and a strategic hedging approach.For FY2025, Alkane expects production to be in the lower range of its 70-80,000 ounce guidance, with all-in sustaining costs (AISC) between A$2,400-2,600 per ounce. Production is projected to be closer to 80,000 ounces in FY2026, with AISC expected to decrease to around A$2,000 per ounce after completion of development work in the new mining area.The company has recently completed significant infrastructure investments, including a flotation and fine grinding circuit that has increased gold recoveries by 7%, along with a new pace carbon-in-leach plant. While these investments have resulted in higher near-term costs, they are expected to improve long-term operational efficiency.Alkane's hedging strategy leaves two-thirds of its production exposed to current high gold prices, with only one-third hedged at A$2,850 per ounce through June 2027. At current spot prices, this results in an average realized gold price of approximately A$4,000 per ounce.The company's flagship Tomingley Gold Operations, including its underground mine and satellite deposits of Roswell and San Antonio, demonstrate significant exploration potential. Since 2013, the operation has exceeded initial expectations, having mined about 650,000 ounces from an initial 370,000-ounce mine plan, with substantial reserves still remaining.Financially, Alkane maintains a strong position with A$40 million in cash and bullion as of December 2024, expected to increase in the current quarter. The company's debt structure includes A$45 million in bank debt, with A$5 million scheduled for repayment by June 2025.Looking ahead, Alkane is developing a new open pit mine alongside its underground operations, which should provide additional operational flexibility. The company's growth strategy is supported by extensive exploration upside, with its underground operations and satellite deposits remaining open at depth.The broader market environment appears favorable for Alkane, with gold prices at record highs in Australian dollar terms, driven by global economic factors including monetary stimulus, inflation concerns, and geopolitical tensions. As an Australian producer, Alkane benefits from both the high gold prices and the stability of operating in Australia's established mining jurisdiction.View Alkane Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/alkane-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
