“Europe looks more like emerging markets than it does North America,” Joe Faraday, Baillie Gifford's new head of European equities, suggests in this conversation. He means that growth takes many forms across the continent, creating an eclectic mix of companies to choose from and specific circumstances to consider. As he reveals, it's led him to reposition the portfolios under his watch, broadening the types of companies they contain.Background:Joe Faraday is our head of European equities and investment manager of the Baillie Gifford European Growth Trust and European Fund.In this conversation, he tells Short Briefings… host Leo Kelion about some of the stocks he has added to and removed from the portfolios of our European Growth Strategy. Faraday took charge earlier this year with a mandate to improve performance.“We've changed rather a lot,” he says, regarding efforts to broaden the mix of growth themes the portfolios he manages tap into, while ensuring that he grounds each buy or sell decision on an intimate understanding of each stock.Companies discussed include:Piraeus Bank – Greece's biggest lender, expanding its reach with new insurance, asset management and digital banking servicesLPP – the Polish retail group behind Sinsay, the rapidly growing fashion and homeware brand big in central and eastern EuropeTotalEnergies – the French energy group involved in exploration and production, liquefied natural gas and renewablesRheinmetall – the German defence contractor, whose activities range from drones and armoured vehicles to ammunition and satellitesBending Spoons – the Italian app acquirer that rearchitects and revitalises mature digital businessesRational – the German manufacturer of ‘combi ovens' designed for commercial kitchensResources:A disciplined case for European GrowthEuropean megatrends: what's on my mind?Supercommunicators by Charles DuhiggThe European opportunity setThe Short Briefings… archive Companies mentioned include:·       Airbus·       Allegro·       Bending Spoons·       CaixaBank·       Dino Polska·       Exail·       Iberdrola·       Piraeus Bank·       LPP·       LVMH·       Nexans·       Rational·       Rheinmetall·       TEKEVER·       TotalEnergiesTimecodes:00:00  Introduction01:50  From paint-making to portfolio management03:30  Investment track record05:25  Broadening the growth types07:05 Megatrends and individual circumstances08:45  Rearmament, energy security and consumption10:30  “Europe's not like Marmite”11:45  TotalEnergies – a mega energy business16:30  Rheinmetall – a catch-all defence contractor19:05  LPP – the Zara of eastern Europe22:20  Piraeus Bank pushes into insurance24:40  LVMH and the outlook for luxury26:40  Building on Bending Spoons28:50  “Decisive action has been taken”29:35  Book choiceGlossary of terms (in order of mention):Small-cap: Shares in companies with relatively small total stock market values.Compound: Gains that build on earlier gains, so an investment's value can grow at an increasing rate over time.Exploration and production: The part of the oil and gas industry that searches for reserves and extracts them.Liquefied natural gas (LNG): Natural gas cooled into liquid form so it can be stored and transported more easily.Integrated power: A business that combines several parts of the electricity system, such as generation, trading and supply, often across conventional and renewable sources.Capital allocation: The decisions a company makes about how to use its money, including investing in operations, buying businesses, repaying debt or returning cash to shareholders.Free cash flow: Cash left after a company has paid its operating costs and the investment needed to maintain or expand the business.Capital markets day: An event where a listed company gives investors and analysts detailed information about its strategy, operations and financial prospects.International Monetary Fund (IMF): An international institution that monitors economies, advises governments and can lend to countries facing financial difficulty.Flotation: The process by which a private company lists its shares on a public stock market, often through an initial public offering (IPO).

In this episode we chat to Andrew Chubb, CEO of Awale Resources, to discuss the company's exploration journey at the Odienné Gold-Copper Project in Côte d'Ivoire and what it really takes to make a significant mineral discovery.   We explore what gave Andrew the early conviction to keep pushing at Odienné what the successes and importantly the failures have taught the team, and what still needs to be demonstrated for the project to emerge as a significant gold-copper district.   We also get Andrew's perspective on the wider exploration industry: how technology is changing the way we explore, knowing when to keep drilling or walk away, why billions spent on exploration aren't resulting in more major discoveries, and what advice he would give the next generation of geologists. KEY TAKEAWAYS Disciplined mineral exploration relies on letting incoming data continuously refine deposit models rather than becoming emotionally attached to initial theories. Côte d'Ivoire has evolved into a premier mining-friendly jurisdiction due to forward-thinking policy, rapid 4-year development timelines, and extensive regional electrification. The lack of tier-one discoveries from massive global exploration spending highlights the advantage agile junior explorers have over large producers when executing field programs. Having significant exploration capital requires geologists to maintain financial discipline, evaluate mining economics early, and avoid overextending on early-stage targets. BEST MOMENTS "If you look at it from a geologist perspective... there's sort of a bit of a joke that goes around geologists of 'he who sees the most rocks wins'." "People ask the question, you know, 'Would you put your house on a project?' I effectively did... I was all in, if you like, from a poker perspective." "I sort of have a philosophy of you never completely discount a target, you just put it on the shelf. Because the next one... might actually give you insights into what you got wrong on the last one." "Don't think that you've got—'Oh, I've got 20 million bucks, I can do what I like'... Still think about your budgets carefully and how you're going to apply them, and let the geology tell the story."

Space Nuts: Moon impact, Roman Observatory launch, and Neptune's odd moonsAndrew Dunkley is joined by Professor Jonti Horner, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Southern Queensland, for a wide-ranging astronomy update. They cover SpaceX's out-of-control rocket body hitting the Moon, the imminent launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Observatory, and a new result that may explain the strange origin of some of Neptune's moons.We discuss why lunar impacts matter far beyond the Moon itself, how Roman will study exoplanets and dark energy, and why clay minerals on Neptune's small moons are such a big clue about a violent early solar system.Key topicsSpaceX's rocket body impacted the Moon after being left in a long, uncontrolled orbitWhy lunar impacts are a real concern for future habitats, infrastructure, and Apollo heritage sitesThe sheer scale of human-made objects that have already hit or landed on the MoonElon Musk's vision for lunar factories, rail-gun launches, and large-scale off-Earth manufacturingWhy the same company could end up both creating the risk and needing to solve itThe Nancy Grace Roman Observatory launching around 9 months ahead of scheduleRoman's 2.4 metre mirror, 300 megapixel wide-field camera, and hydrazine-fueled journey to L2How Roman will study dark energy, gravitational lensing, exoplanets, and free-floating planetsNew James Webb observations of Neptune's moons showing clay-type minerals on Larissa and GalateaWhy those clays suggest a much older, more violent system shaped by Triton's capture and moon-to-moon collisionsTimestamps:00:00 - Studio prep, muting phones, and getting ready to record01:53 - Episode intro: SpaceX lunar impact, Roman Observatory, and Neptune moons03:00 - Jonti Horner joins the show04:26 - SpaceX rocket body crashes into the Moon07:03 - Predicted impact plume and expected crater size08:54 - Korean spacecraft Danuri captures post-impact images10:19 - Why Moon impacts matter for future lunar bases11:47 - Protecting Apollo landing sites and lunar archaeology12:15 - More than 3,000 human-made objects have hit the Moon14:32 - Law, responsibility, and the problem of cleanup beyond Earth16:07 - Musk's plans for Moon factories and Starlink-style expansion18:12 - Rail guns, Optimus robots, and scaling lunar industry19:34 - SpaceX's own industry could be threatened by its own debris21:24 - Balancing commercial benefits and environmental costs23:46 - The Nancy Grace Roman Observatory launch approaches26:03 - Roman's orbit, hydrazine fuel, and five-year mission plan27:57 - From WFIRST to Roman: how the telescope evolved29:23 - Roman's mirror, 300 megapixel camera, and survey power30:14 - Exoplanets, microlensing, and the coronagraph33:29 - Roman's launch status and the excitement ahead34:17 - Neptune's moons and the role of TritonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support.

Andina Copper CEO Joe van den Elsen joins Mining Stock Daily to discuss the rapidly developing Cobrasco copper porphyry project in Colombia. With 11 reported drill holes outlining mineralization across roughly 1.2 kilometers of strike and only about 40% of the anomaly tested, Joe discusses Cobrasco's potential scale, the emerging near-surface high-grade story, and the strategy behind adding a second drill rig. The conversation also covers what remains unknown about the system, why Andina isn't rushing toward a maiden resource, the ingredients that could make Cobrasco a world-class copper project, and how Colombia's new political administration could change the permitting and investment environment.

Le Svalbard, archipel façonné par les glaces depuis des millénaires, voit aujourd'hui ses paysages se transformer à une vitesse vertigineuse sous l'effet du dérèglement climatique. Pour faire entendre les voix de scientifiques encore trop peu écoutés, le compositeur Yann Tiersen imagine un journalisme musical où la musique devient un langage de transmission. Au printemps 2025, il embarque à bord de son voilier Ninog avec la réalisatrice Coline Béal, direction les confins du Svalbard. Ensemble, ils poursuivent une même quête artistique : enregistrer les trémolos des glaces, composer la mélodie d'un territoire qui vacille et la faire résonner avant que le silence ne l'engloutisse.L'ensemble des morceaux qui ponctuent cet épisode en interludes sont les improvisations originales composées par Yann Tiersen au fil de son voyage au Svalbard.

What's the last thing you learned simply because you wanted to know?Episode summaryWhy do we feel the need to justify what we learn? My guest on this episode is Annie Wagstaff, a musician and composer whose career has taken her around the world touring with Take That and into writing music for advertising. But alongside her work in music, Annie has developed another passion: learning about whatever happens to make her curious.That could be vine tomatoes, animals, colour, knots, the human body, or simply something she notices while walking through a supermarket.Annie shares what she discovers on social media, not because the knowledge necessarily has an obvious purpose, but because she finds it interesting. And that raises a fascinating question: what happens to the natural curiosity we have as children as we become adults?In our conversation, we explore creativity and constraints, sonic branding, why children pick up stones while adults tell them to put them down, the pleasure of knowing a little about a lot, short attention spans and hyperfocus, authenticity in an age of AI, and why learning something without knowing what you're going to do with it might be exactly the point.We also talk about Take That, vine tomatoes, staring at flowers, doomscrolling, notebooks, knots and sailing — the kind of eclectic mix that an episode about curiosity really ought to contain.Guest bioAnnie Wagstaff is a London-based guitarist, musician and composer.She has worked as a session musician, toured internationally with Take That, and composes music for advertising and other commercial projects.Earlier in her career, Annie also released her own music and built a large following online through her guitar playing.More recently, she has used her social channels to share the things she learns simply because they interest her — turning subjects ranging from science and animals to everyday observations into short, accessible explorations of curiosity.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 — Why curiosity matters05:00 — Touring the world with Take That10:00 — Writing music for advertising15:00 — Sonic branding and the power of sound17:00 — From “Guitar Girl” to curiosity creator22:00 — Vine tomatoes and unexpected rabbit holes25:00 — Why children are naturally curious34:00 — Flowers, distraction and noticing the world38:00 — Becoming a “knowledge butterfly”45:00 — Authenticity, social media and AI50:00 — Why does knowledge need a purpose?55:00 — Rediscovering curiosity — from five minutes to sailingLinksAnnie's Website: anniewagstaff.com including her booksTikTok: @annieplaysguitar on TikTokLinkedIn: Annie Wagstaff on LinkedInInstagram: @annieplaysguitar on InstagramYouTube: Annie Plays Guitar on YouTube

Jenna and Mark are excited to welcome Joel Sartore to the Cincinnati Zoo Tales Podcast to discuss the recent release of The Photo Ark: Animals of Earth (20th Anniversary Edition), out now.  In 2017, Sartore was at the Cincinnati Zoo where the ‘National Geographic Photo Ark' Exhibition was on display at the Cincinnati Zoo.    Over the last two decades, Joel has traveled the world documenting more than 17,000 animal species in zoos, animal sanctuaries, and more as part of the Photo Ark, one of the most ambitious wildlife photography projects ever undertaken. The project has inspired millions through books, exhibits, speaking engagements, and conservation partnerships.   Joel also discusses the upcoming opening of his brand-new exhibit Photo Ark: Animals of Earth at the National Geographic Museum of Exploration in Washington, D.C. Joel is also coming out with a new children's board book at the top of next month called National Geographic Photo Ark Bodies / Cuerpos, which introduces young readers to parts of the body through stunning photographs of animals from around the world, pairing each English word with its Spanish translation to help little ones build early vocabulary in two languages.

Rudy de Waele (LI) and Alex de Carvalho (LI), co-founders of Voices of Emergence — a relational learning ecology bringing together conversations, community, learning journeys and gatherings — together with Samantha Sweetwater (LI, website), co-created The Invitation earlier this year: an intimate gathering of around 50 people exploring what becomes possible when we create the conditions for deeper relationship, collective learning and meaningful action. We spoke of archetypical patterns and synchronicities as well as the the principles and collaborations that need to be in place for a gathering like this to take shape. This is a topic of particular importance in our times as there is symmetry between how we gather and what we can discover. Remembering and adapting technology for gathering in new ways is crucial to move us towards different possible futures. This conversation touches that. Enjoy!

This episode covers three very different astronomy stories and then moves into a lively Q&A with listener questions. Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson discuss a possible sugary molecule in the center of the Milky Way, the risk lunar landers may contaminate ice that could preserve clues to life's origins, and a new way to track lost dogs using satellite connectivity. The second half of the episode answers questions about moons with atmospheres, secret astronomy, hot Jupiters, and black hole mergers.Key topicsIn this episode, Fred Watson explains an update from Peter Verweyen on MOND, now referred to as Aether Scalar Tensor Theory, and how it relates to dark matter and dark energy debates.We discuss the detection of erythrulose, a sugar molecule found in interstellar gas clouds near the center of the Milky Way, and why this matters for prebiotic chemistry.Fred describes how molecules like sugar can form in cold molecular clouds before stars and planets exist, making some ingredients for life surprisingly common.We discuss a new study warning that rocket exhaust from future lunar landings could contaminate ice in permanently shadowed craters at the Moon's south pole.The Moon's polar ice may contain ancient prebiotic molecules delivered by comets, asteroids, and dust, making it a possible time capsule for the chemistry that led to life.We discuss the practical and ethical problem that landers have to use rocket engines, and those exhaust plumes may spread methane and other organics across the lunar surface very quickly.Fred shares how satellite-based direct-to-cell or direct-to-mobile systems could help locate lost dogs in remote places without cell coverage.We discuss how this kind of tracking builds on existing GPS pet trackers, and how it could be useful in wilderness areas, while also noting the limits and concerns in national parks.Timestamps(00:00) Start of the episode and what's coming up(03:12) MOND update and the new AEST name(07:10) A sugary molecule in the center of our galaxy(09:51) Why sugar can form in deep space before stars exist(12:24) Why lunar landings could contaminate the Moon's ice(14:54) The Moon as a time capsule for prebiotic molecules(16:24) Methane exhaust and rapid contamination risk(18:37) Should the Moon be protected like a national park?(20:28) Satellite tracking for lost dogs in remote areas(24:52) Direct-to-mobile satellite technology explained(25:44) The Judas goat program and invasive species controlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support.

"I wish people understood that the pace of change across this region is not gradual anymore. It's moving very quickly and in many cases faster than traditional global markets expect." Conflicts and disrupted energy flows have put energy security back at the center of the conversation, and Yogaani Bhatia is seeing what that means for geophysics across the Middle East and beyond. Exploration is gaining renewed attention, Saudi Arabia is building out a major mining sector, and countries such as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are investing in geological knowledge and new resource development. Behind all of it is the same need: understand the subsurface well enough to make better decisions. And as investment accelerates, the challenge is not simply having better technology. It is having the people who know how to use it. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Energy security is making subsurface knowledge strategic again: Pressure on energy flows is reinforcing the need for secure, diversified resources. Exploration is increasingly viewed not only as a commercial activity, but as a strategic capability tied to long-term energy and resource security. > Some of the fastest change is happening across the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and Asia Pacific: Saudi Arabia is expanding mining, Central Asia is investing in geological knowledge, Africa is seeing renewed frontier exploration, and Asia Pacific is advancing offshore energy, CCS, and geothermal. > Energy and minerals draw on many of the same geophysics skills: Imaging, interpretation, data integration, and other subsurface expertise developed in oil and gas are increasingly crossing into mining, critical minerals, geothermal, and carbon storage. > Better technology still depends on people who know how to use it: The AI and digital conversation is shifting from whether the tools have value to how they improve workflows and decisions, while organizations also face a growing need to develop talent and transfer knowledge.

What if you stopped trying to get your relationship with food “right” and started getting curious instead?In this episode, I explore something I believe can completely shift the way we approach food, health, and change: curiosity.Think back to when you were a child. You naturally asked:What would happen if I tried this?What would happen if I did that?Curiosity led you.But somewhere along the way, many of us stopped exploring and started demanding certainty. We created rules, deadlines, expectations, and pressure.“I'm going to stop eating carbs.”“I have to lose 10 pounds.”“I have to get this right.”“This better work.”And suddenly, our relationship with food became driven by urgency instead of curiosity.Where Did Our Curiosity Go?As children, curiosity was a natural part of how we experienced the world.We experimented.We explored.We tried things.But as adults, we often feel like we need to know the answer before we begin.Instead of asking: “What would happen if I tried this?”We tell ourselves:“This has to work.”That pressure changes everything.Curiosity Creates SpaceCuriosity isn't absolute.It's not urgent.It's not fear-driven.It's creativity. Exploration. Expansion.Curiosity allows you to become comfortable with the unknown.You don't have to know exactly what will happen.You can simply become willing to discover.What If You Started Experimenting?What would happen if you started eating more of something that supports you every single day?What would happen if you started your morning with a 20-minute walk?What if you tried it for 20 days or 30 days and simply observed what happened?You don't have to turn every new habit into another rigid rule.You can experiment.You can notice.You can learn.And you can allow the experience to teach you something about yourself.Maybe You're Not the ProblemIf you've been struggling with food for years, you may feel like you're too far gone.But I want you to consider something different:You may actually be exactly where you need to be to begin.You know what isn't working.You've tried the things you've been told to try.And if those approaches haven't created the change you want, maybe it's time to stop assuming that you are the problem.Maybe it's the system.Maybe it's the approach.Maybe it's time to ask a different question.You Don't Have to Live in ShameWhen something doesn't work, we often turn the blame inward.Why can't I do this?What's wrong with me?Why can't I just stick with it?That cycle can leave us feeling powerless, confused, guilty, and ashamed.But what if you replaced self-blame with curiosity?Instead of asking: “Why can't I do this?”Try asking: “What can I learn from this?”That one shift creates a completely different conversation with yourself.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

The U.S. jobs market is cooling — but mining has a very different labor problem: finding the right talent. Veteran geologist and mining expert Steven Enders joins Maggie Lake to explain why the quality of people and management teams can make or break a mining project — even as the industry faces enormous demand for critical minerals. Enders breaks down the looming copper supply gap, why new mines remain so difficult to build, where we may be in the commodity cycle, and why AI can help the mining industry — but won't solve its biggest problems. Plus: why he's skeptical of mining project forecasts, what investors should look for in management teams, and the warning signs that tell him a commodity cycle may be getting mature. Topics include: • U.S. jobs market and mining's talent challenge • Copper demand and the global supply gap • Mining stocks and commodity cycles • How to evaluate mining management teams • AI in mining and mineral exploration • Capex, opex and why mining projects run over budget • M&A and signs of a mature commodity cycle

In this episode we chat to Randy Turner, President and CEO of Independence Gold. Randy is a highly regarded geologist with a track record of discovering, advancing and creating value from mineral projects. He played a key role in the discovery of the Snap Lake diamond deposit, later acquired by De Beers, and was also involved in the early history of what became Artemis Gold's Blackwater mine. In this episode we discuss what attracted him to the 3Ts Gold Project in British Columbia, the project's fascinating journey from Teck to Independence Gold, what he looks for in a successful discovery, how technology is transforming exploration, and what's next for the 3Ts project. KEY TAKEAWAYS Randy Turner brings over 55 years of geological expertise to Independence Gold, having previously played a key role in major discoveries such as the Snap Lake diamond deposit and the early acquisition of the Blackwater gold project. Independence Gold is focusing its exploration efforts on the 3Ts Gold Project in British Columbia, which sits adjacent to the massive 20-million-ounce Blackwater gold deposit. Successful modern mineral exploration relies on combining advanced technologies like AI, geophysics, and geochemistry with traditional, boots-on-the-ground geological analysis. Independence Gold operates as a pure-play exploration company with a target strategy to grow the 3Ts resource to approximately 1 million gold-equivalent ounces before seeking a buyer or development partner BEST MOMENTS "In most cases around the world, all the easy deposits have been found... It's now taking more geology, back to the basics of geology—technologies, AI, geophysics, geochemistry." "We can't totally rely upon technology to make all these discoveries—we still have to be using our brains and our geological backgrounds to put all this together." "Good old boot and hammer work is what we call it—geologists getting out, banging rocks, and almost sniffing the core, looking at it, studying it." "We're explorationists—we're there to find, we're there to discover. But you bring in the other guys, the more senior companies, that will look at it to develop it and put it into production."

I gave a lecture about "Blending the Elements of Experiential Design" on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at Seattle XR in Seattle, Washington. (PDF of Slides]. At the end, I run through some examples of the types of interdisciplinary fusion that I see within the context of immersive storytelling and immersive art. This lecture also digs into the process-relational philosophical foundations, as well as how I'm gaining additional inspiration from Empedocles, Aristotle, and the Classical Quadrivium (Four Arts) of Math, Music, Geometry, and Astronomy. For my 30+ hours of coverage of Venice Immersive, then I apply this archetypal framework to help describe the context, quality, character, and story of each of these projects. You can see an overview of how I've been using this framework in this PDF on "Venice Immersive 2025 Archetypal Categorizations" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01M5NcOYzx0 One of goals of this talk was to further define the archetypal nature of the elements, and how I'm conceiving of them as a possibility space of design tradeoffs (C.S. Peirce's "Firstness"), but also as the concrete decisions that an experiential designer makes ("Secondness"), and then finally how these decisions are experienced more from a phenomenological experience as the audience as we feel, sense, act, and make sense of these experiences, and what they might mean ("Thirdness"). I do not actually dive into Peirce's concepts of Firstness, Secondness, or Thirdness in this specific talk, but I wanted to elaborate on these concepts in this write-up as these have been crucial concepts to help translate the overall abstract Firstness quality of my talk, and ground it into the Secondness of something that is a bit more practical and pragmatic. For Peirce, his semiology is grounded into a triune theory of actualization that goes from a non-Boolean possibility space as Firstness, and then grounds into a Boolean actualization of secondness, and then an interpretant mediates from the concreteness of the Secondness object back to the Firstness of the fundamental archetypal qualities or meaning. I find speculative philosopher James Bradley's summary of the Peirce's triune semiology to be the most easy to digest in his essay titled, "Beyond Hermeneutics: Peirce's Semiology as a Trinitarian Metaphysics of Communication." I can also recommend this article on "Peirce's Theory of Signs" from the The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy for a comprehensive recap, and there's also this excellent YouTube series primer by Philosign's Markus Raninen titled The Basics of Semiotics. But here's Bradley's description of Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness, which I find myself coming back to again and again. "Within the fundamental speculative triunity of activity, difference and order, or firstness, secondness and thirdness, semiology is an analysis of order or thirdness… Thirdness is analyzed as idea or sign, as the exchange of information between individual entities, and as interpretation; in other words, thirdness is itself a threefold of sign, object and interpretant. Here, sign occupies the position of firstness because it is the potentiality for interpretation; object occupies that of secondness because it is determinate; and the interpretant occupies that of thirdness because the interpretant has the sign-interpreting or sign-ordering role, and so has the status of a third. [24] Thus for Peirce semiology is the analysis of the triune relation of sign, object and interpretant." It's still a bit obtuse, and one way that I like to think about it is through the experience of communication. You have a possibility space of meaning you want to convey (Firstness of the sign/potential), then you choose specific words that convey that meaning (Secondness of the object), then someone listens to those words and phrases, and then connects those words back to a meaning space (Thirdness of the interpretant mediating between the two). For Peirce, each of the Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness can also refer to themselves, like you can have a Firstness of Thirdness or Secondness of Firstness. It gets a little bit confusing, but I found the following graphic from Collected Essays in Speculative Philosophy (2021) by James Bradley and edited by Sean McGrath to be very useful. Within the context of immersive storytelling, then it's a semiotic process of communication of meaning where you're able to use all sorts of affordances from game design, literature, social dynamics and relations, music, film, lighting, architecture, dance, theme park design, sensory design, and embodiment. My Elemental Theory of Presence attempts to simplify this into the following: Fire Element of Active Presence: Interactivity, Agency, Game Design Air Element of Mental & Social Presence: Meaning, Semiotics, Language, Possibility, Form, Relationality Water Element of Emotional Presence: Experiential Processes, Story, Film, Music, Cycles, Time Earth Element of Environmental & Embodied Presence: Sensory, Immersive, Worldbuilding, Space I elaborate on the various philosophical frameworks that I'm leaning up within this talk that I gave on June 6, 2026, but since then I've been diving more into Peirce and his Triune Metaphysics and Semiology of Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness, which has been a helpful framework as I've been applying the elements to my Venice Immersive Coverage and categorizing the elemental center of gravity for each of the nearly 40 projects that I covered. Again see this framework in this PDF on "Venice Immersive 2025 Archetypal Categorizations" to see how I have been thinking about each of these projects. I used this approach in the introductions for each of my podcast episodes from Venice (see the links down below). Firstness of Fire: Creativity, Novelty, Intention, Purpose, Goals, & Aristotle's Final Cause Secondness of Fire: Interactivity & Core Gameplay Loops Thirdness of Fire: Agency & Will For Active Presence Examples of Fire: Game Design, Locomotion Options: No Movement, Automatic movement, Teleportation, or free roaming. The LIVENESS of the Live, To what degree does the experience encourage the expression of will and agency? And to what degree does that alter how the narrative unfolds (narrative agency vs participatory interactive moments that customize and flavor the experience)? Adventure, Exploration, Creativity, Novelty, Freedom, Will, and Collective Action. System Dynamics, & iterative feedback loops Firstness of Air: Peirce's "Sign," Intended Meaning, Pattern & Form, Archetypal Possibility Spaces, Relationality, & Aristotle's Formal Cause Secondness of Air: Peirce's "Object" Within A Triadic Semiotic Process (i.e. a specific action, word, harmonic, or action that points to a larger meaning.) Thirdness of Air: Peirce's "Interpretant," Sensemaking Thoughts, Expectations, & Social Dynamics For Mental & Social Presence Examples of Air: Literature, Language, Semiotics, Communication, Symbols, Abstractions. Single Player vs Multi-Player, Suspension of Disbelief and Plausibility, Social Dynamics, Anticipation of the Future, Possibility Spaces, Types of Choices. Realms of Speculative Imagination, How is meaning communicated? Dialogue amongst characters, voice-over narration, environmental storytelling, non-verbal associative dream logic. Mental friction from puzzles. Rules & Mechanics. Use of certain types of AI and Conversational Interfaces with Virtual Beings Firstness of Water: Time, Cycles, Harmonics, Value, & Aristotle's "Material Cause" (in Whitehead's event ontology, then base reality is processes, relationships, and possibilities of value & not Substance) Secondness of Water: Experiential Processes That Provide Contrasts Thirdness of Water: Feelings for Emotional Presence Examples of Water: Cinematic Film Tradition, Music, Harmonics, Rhythm, Pacing, Editing, Contrasts, Emotion, Memory, Dreams, Images, Soul, Psyche, Symbols, Lighting, Mood, Collective Unconscious Firstness of Earth: Space, World, Context, & Aristotle's Efficient Cause Secondness of Earth: Environment & Worldbuilding With Situated Perspectives in that Context Thirdness of Earth: Sensory Perception & Sense of Place for Embodied & Environmental Presence Examples of Earth: Worldbuilding of a spatial context & culture. Architecture, Theater, Theme Park Design, Dance, Are you a ghost or an embodied character? Sensory Experience: Touch/Haptics, Hearing/Spatial Sound, Smells, Vision. Relation of Immersive Tech to Environment as either VR, MR, or AR. Virtual CGI vs Cinematic 180/360 Video, Again, check out this PDF on "Venice Immersive 2025 Archetypal Categorizations" to see how I've ranked nearly 40 projects from Venice Immersive 2025 on the relative elemental center of gravity. Some projects feel more like a cinematic immersive film, which would be a bit more biased towards the Water Element. Some projects are more focused on the experience of a world that was build, and more focused on the Earth Element. Some projects are asking you to Read a book together with other people, which is more focused on the Air Element. And then other more game-like experiences are focused on using interactions as their primary mode of engagement, and so they're more focused on the fire element. There are 64 total combinations of the elements in terms of the first, second, third, or four centers of gravity, and you can see the comprehensive visualization here: Technically, all four elements are always happening all at once all at the same time. However, in experiential design, then creators can emphasize and blend elements together. So I find that ranking the elements can be helpful in determining an overall center of gravity, and that looking at the first two centers of gravity can achieve a sufficient job of creating some ad hoc, immersive and "elemental genres....

Interview with Chad Peters, President & CEO of Ridgeline Minerals Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ridgeline-minerals-tsxvrdg-600m-free-carry-potential-on-partner-funded-crd-discovery-8609Recording date: 7th August 2026Ridgeline Minerals has completed the sale of four early-stage Nevada gold exploration projects to Nevada Gold Mines (NGM), generating US$23.15 million in cash and a return of more than 350% on its invested capital. The transaction, which closed on August 3, involved Ridgeline's interests in the Swift and Black Ridge earn-in agreements, as well as its Bell Creek and Atlas projects.The sale gives Ridgeline approximately C$33 million in cash and C$3 million in marketable securities. Together, those assets exceed the company's market capitalisation of about C$24.5 million, substantially reducing its near-term financing and dilution risk. Management says the strengthened treasury will support new project staking, exploration, potential acquisitions and, possibly, shareholder returns.Ridgeline retained its flagship Selena project, a 39-square-kilometre carbonate replacement deposit target being advanced through a US$20 million earn-in agreement with South32. South32 has committed US$4 million for drilling in 2026, fully funding the programme. The project gained importance after the 2025 discovery of high-grade massive sulphide mineralisation at the Chinchilla Sulphide zone. South32 has compared the early-stage discovery with its Taylor deposit in Arizona, although Selena does not yet have a formal mineral resource estimate.The company also continues to own Big Blue and Coyote outright. Big Blue is a copper-silver-tungsten exploration project with encouraging historical and recent drill and trench results. Coyote is an undrilled Carlin-type gold target located near NGM's Black Ridge project and approximately four kilometres from the Fallon gold resource, making it a potential partnership or transaction candidate.Ridgeline additionally holds a 17.3% stake in Spartan Metals and a 1% royalty on metals from Spartan's Eagle tungsten project. The company's next challenge is converting its financial strength and exploration portfolio into further discoveries, particularly through Selena's 2026 drilling and future work at its 100%-owned Nevada properties.View Ridgeline Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ridgeline-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

I interviewed Singing Chen about The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up on Monday, September 1, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up: "After the sudden death of his wife, Guan discovers her unfinished novel — a tale intertwining the endangered clouded leopard and the Rukai tribe's sacred origin myth, which tells of their descent from the elusive animal. Grief-stricken and seeking connection, he sets out on a surreal journey into dreamlike scenes — a maze of the subconscious, mistshrouded forests, ancient tree hollows and symbolic inner landscapes. Adapted from a short story by acclaimed Taiwanese author Wu Ming-Yi, The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up is a single-user, free-roaming VR experience that blends literature and memory into an intimate exploration of love, loss and self-reflection." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Exploration of indigenous myths [9] as the protagonist goes on an epic journey into these imaginal (or real) realms [9]. It's a husband whose's wife [7] has died [8], and he's picking up clues from her work [10] as a writer as he explore her office [10], gets lost within a maze [12], and then he embarks on this adventure [9] deep into nature and the forest [4] Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Blends a number of different spatial capture techniques from traditional CGI modeling to Gaussian Splats. Very high resolution spatial capture. Lots of theme park type of feel whilst exporing the maze portion, and recreated a spatial journey where you feld like you had some wandering agency. But it was all still very contained and constrained, but felt like a bit of using your body movemnt to edit and pace through the piece. You're mostly an invisible ghost without any embodiment, although there are some scenes where you have agency to move around, but there's other scenes where you're more of an invisible audience. Some incredible technical breakthroughs to fuse it all together.2nd Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Very narrative and story-driven overall, with a lot of influences from the cinematic tradition, especially during the first half. There's some cinematic cut scenes inspired from film. Some spatial embodied movement of spatial storytelling, The last half involves more of theatrically staged dialogue, where the overall spatial context stays static, and so the experience of time is more like being at a thearical play. Having volumetrically captured actors actually makes a huge difference in communicating the subtleness of emotionality via their facial expressions that is much harder than how emotions are captured on film. This piece stands in the volumetric capture techniques, fused with traditional CGI as well as with Gaussian Splats.3rd Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Based upon a book, and so it has quite a literary feel, but also some scenes with extended dialogue. Overall, it's a bit of a mystery as the husband investigates the research archives of his wife, who was digging into an indigenous myth, and he comes to find out that it is completely TRUE. So there's lots of elements of magical realism, but also poetic dreamlogic and spatial storytelling. The maze scene has some post-it notes that deliver voice over. It's a single-player experience, but you share spatial contexts with some volumetrically-captured performances.4th Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: No real narrative agency, but there's a chance to explore a room of objects, but also the maze scene gives the experience of a lot of agency as you can chose how you move through and at what pace. Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Grief from a death and loss, and going on a spiritual adventure, to find connection. From the description about the book author that inspired the piece, they say, "he weaves dreams, memory and multiple dimensions of time and space has long inspired me." Turning inward to explore spatial contexts that symbolically represent an inner journey of discovery. "Grief-stricken and seeking connection, he sets out on a surreal journey into dreamlike scenes — a maze of the subconscious, mist-shrouded forests, ancient tree hollows and symbolic inner landscapes" Artist Statement: "Wu Ming-Yi is one of Taiwan's most influential contemporary novelists. The way he weaves dreams, memory and multiple dimensions of time and space has long inspired me. When the chance came to adapt The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up into VR, I knew it would be a daunting yet necessary journey. Wu's writing evokes vivid imagery, spatiality and bodily presence — qualities that resonate with VR's immersive nature. Through free-roaming exploration, I aimed to recreate a journey of loss, memory and Indigenous mythology. This project is a dialogue between literature, technology and emotion — one that seeks to spark empathy across cultures." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEUki2mN-ps This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

Russell Shorto, author of Smalltime: A Story of My Family and the Mob, provides a historical and personal exploration of organized crime in the small industrial town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, framing the American Mafia as a "mirror of American capitalism." The story traces the family's roots back to Sicily, where the author's great-grandfather, Antonino Scioto (later Tony Shorto), emigrated to work in coal mines before his mysterious murder in Italy in 1920. This tragedy forced his son, Rosario "Russell" Shorto, to become the family's provider at age six, eventually finding his way into the world of bootlegging and gambling during Prohibition. Russell developed specialized skills as a card and dice cheat, finding a mentor in a neighborhood "Black Hand" leader. In the late 1930s, Shorto partnered with Joe Regino, a mobster sent from Philadelphia to establish a local franchise. Their base of operations, City Cigar, became a central hub for a gambling empire that included the numbers racket, pinball, and card games, all protected by a sophisticated system of bribing local police and politicians. Shorto emphasizes the social context of ethnic prejudice, noting that many Italianimmigrants turned to the "underworld" because legitimate economic paths were often closed to them. The book also examines the internal family toll of this lifestyle—secrets, alcoholism, and the strain of living multiple lives—as the author and his father attempt to reconstruct the history of a man who never "broke cover." The empire eventually crumbled under the pressure of federal investigations led by Bobby Kennedy and local fallout from the unsolved 1960 murder of bookie Pippy diFalco. (2)1899 CAMBRIA COUNTY, PA
