Imagine moving to NYC to build a better life for your family, only to end up renting a room from the worst fake landlord imaginable. That is the exact nightmare 27 year old Chinelle Browne walked into in Brooklyn. Chinelle, a loving mom of four from Guyana, was hustling to get established in New York so her husband and kids could move over. She rented a room in Brownsville, but quickly realized the place was a dump with no hot water or reliable electricity. What she did not know was that her 42 year old landlord, Leah Cuevas, did not even own the building. She was running a shady scam and pocketing cash after the real owner died. On July 5, 2014, Chinelle confronted her and refused to pay rent for afor a house Leah didnt even own, Leah snapped. The argument turned violent, and Leah stabbed Chinelle over 30 times before chopping up her body and scattering her remains across Long Island. This trail of body parts left investigators scrambling to identify the victim and track down a killer  Players:  Chinelle Browne -victim Leah Cuevas - murderess When: July  2014 Where: New York City, NY Sistas Who Kill everywhere you listen to podcast.  Follow us on Socials:  IG:   / sistaswhokillpod   TIKTOK:   / sistaswhokillpodcast   YOUTUBE: @sistaswhokillpodcast  FACEBOOK:   / sistaswhokillpod   TWITTER: https://x.com/SistasWhoKill?lang=en Shop Our Merch: ShopSistasWhoKill.com  Want to advertise with us?

$200 for cement. $500 for a business upgrade. A few receipts and a real relationship. That's the kind of giving that actually lands, and it's what we dig into with Forrest Mcsweeney, founder of the Uplift Project, a grassroots nonprofit focused on direct microgrants and practical support in rural Guyana.We talk about Forrest's unconventional upbringing traveling through Central and South America, the outdoor work that funds his seasons, and the six-month solo road trip that sharpened his sense of what matters. Then we get into the story that crystallized his philosophy: a family in Senegal that had everything needed to expand their home except the last $200 for cement. That “last hurdle” becomes the lens for understanding poverty, dignity, and why bottom-up solutions often outperform top-down charity.From there, Forrest breaks down how the Uplift Project operates with transparency and accountability: interviewing local entrepreneurs, prioritizing women with children, documenting exactly what a $500 grant will buy, and following up with photos and receipts. You'll hear what that looks like on the ground in remote communities reachable only by boat, plus the ripple effects of funding a seamstress's solar-powered setup, a baker's larger oven, and emerging needs like rainwater tanks for clean drinking water, school supplies, and uniforms.If you care about sustainable development, nonprofit transparency, and real-world impact per dollar, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a rating or review so more people can find these stories.To learn more about Forrest and The Uplift Project check out www.upliftproject.org.

In this episode, I talk with Forrest McSweeney, founder of The Uplift Project, a nonprofit working with small business owners and families in remote communities in Guyana. Forrest's connection to South America began when he was just three years old, traveling with his father and experiencing communities and cultures far beyond the typical tourist destinations. Those early experiences gave him a lasting perspective on how differently people can live depending on where they are born.Forrest explains how The Uplift Project identifies hardworking entrepreneurs who have the skills and determination to grow but lack the capital to take the next step. From providing a larger oven to a baker, a sewing machine to a seamstress, or equipment to farmers, the goal is to give people the tools they need to build something sustainable for themselves and their families. We also talk about clean water, school supplies, resilience, and the lessons Forrest has learned from the people he meets. His approach is simple: listen to what people say they need, trust their ability to build, and make every dollar go as far as possible.To find out more about The Uplift Project, visit https://upliftproject.org/You can connect with Forrest on all social platforms  @UpliftProjectgy  Want to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?

Dr. Claude Chan was a family and emergency room physician in LA before continuing his career in the Air Force. But how does an immigrant from Guyana, orphaned as a young boy, become a success story? Claude's answer: God alone. His stories of God's miracles of provision throughout his life convey his relationship with God as a Person, rather than Christianity as a doctrine. You'll glean lots from this humble, gifted communicator.To read Claude's memoirs, Reflections of An Immigrant: My Sixty-eight Years In God's Boot Camp  (As of July 2006), click here. Claude quotes Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." He sings the song, "The Power of Your Love."

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO, and Jason Brewster, VP of Operations, for Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSX.V: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), both join me for a special video presentation and visual review of the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment and an exploration update, from the combined Wenot and Gilt deposits at the Company's 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.    The Omai Gold Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent, intrusion-hosted Gilt Deposit, with a combined total mineralization in the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of ~8 million ounces of gold in all categories.   2,495,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE), averaging 2.04 g/t Au in 38.1 Mt and 5,465,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), averaging 1.59 g/t Au in 106.6 Mt    Highlights of Omai Project Preliminary Economic Assessment   6.327 million ounces of gold (“Au”) projected life-of-mine (“LOM”) payable production over 18 years $4.0 billion after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate at base case $3,600/oz gold, increasing to $5.5 billion at $4,200/oz gold 24% after-tax internal rate of return at $3,600/oz gold, increasing to 30% at $4,200/oz gold $1.427 billion initial capital and sustaining and growth capital of $928 million over LOM 4.1 year payback at $3,600/oz gold, decreasing to 3.4 years at $4,200/oz Au $1,501/oz gold average cash operating costs and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”)1 of $1,608/oz $8.093 billion cumulative after-tax cash flows2 over 18 years 351,488 oz Au per year projected average production over LOM, with peak year gold production reaching 435,667 ounces 1.35 g/t Au average head grade and 93% process recovery 5.9:1 average strip ratio for the open pit LOM   This updated PEA, reinforces the potential for Omai to become a very large-scale mining operation with a clear path to bringing significant economic benefits to the people of Guyana.   We also discuss the dual path of the company now, split between ongoing exploration, and all the project derisking being factored into development and the upcoming updated economic study.     If you have any questions for Elaine or Jason regarding Omai Gold Mines, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to see the latest news from Omai Gold Mines.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

It's time to get on board the Apex Express.   [00:00:34] Miko Lee: Tonight on Apex Express, I'm going beneath the surface with two incredible artists, Margaret Cho and Masaki Fujihata. I'm your host, Miko Lee.   [00:00:57] These are two artists who've been working in their fields for decades. Margaret Cho, stand-up comedy, sitcom, filmmaking, writing, and Masaki Fujihata, a pioneer in new media art. And here's what they have in common. They've both shifted with the times, but they never lost their own voice. Their vision has stayed singular, even as the world around them have changed. So stick with me. First up, my conversation with Margaret Cho   [00:01:29] Welcome Margaret Cho to Apex Express.    [00:01:32] Margaret Cho: Thank you.    [00:01:34] Miko Lee: I wanna start with my question I ask most of my guests, which is who are your people and what legacy do you carry with you?    [00:01:41] Margaret Cho: I think my people are Asian American, my people are queer, my people are all ages, my people are progressive, my people have hope for the future. That's what I'm hoping. I think that's it, and that's who I am too.    [00:01:56] Miko Lee: Thank you. You started stand-up so young in this very Bay Area, and I think you started at age 14. I'm wondering what's your earliest childhood memory of being a performer?    [00:02:08] Margaret Cho: My earliest childhood memory of being a performer was I was actually a singer. I was a singer in a band of children, and I was probably maybe five years old. We were on a show on KTVU. I believe it was called Asia Now, and it was filming in the studio and I wouldn't stop waving at my mother, who was just off camera. And after the performance the band leaders asked me not to come back. Aw. I remember that because I could not stop waving at my mother and so I kept breaking that fourth wall. That was my first memories of performance.   [00:02:47] Miko Lee: And what did that feel like to you?    [00:02:50] Margaret Cho: I didn't really get the idea. I didn't really understand television exactly quite. I didn't understand why we were performing. I didn't understand why I couldn't say hi to my mother while I was performing. I didn't have a real comprehension of like even like rejection of what that meant or even performance or what that meant or television. So all these things that I come to learn about very well, rejection, performance, and television is my whole life. But back then I didn't understand the importance of all those things.    [00:03:22] Miko Lee: But there must've been some kind of zhuzh for you that you said, “Ooh, I wanna keep doing this,” right?    [00:03:28] Margaret Cho: Yeah, I think so. Much later though, you know, I did perform as a pianist. I was a classical pianist. I was also a ballet dancer. So those things required performance, which actually would make me really, really nervous, I think because in piano you're playing a classical piece. You're playing Beethoven, you're playing Mozart. So if you make a mistake, everybody's gonna know. Also with ballet you're choreographed and you're in as a troupe. If you're doing choreography with a bunch of other people- If you make a mistake, everybody's gonna know. But with comedy, mistakes are a little bit more of, something you can gloss over a bit. There's a little more control there, a little more room for chaos, which I absolutely need, I think, as a performer.   [00:04:22] Miko Lee: Mm, this is interesting. You've already described some of the different types of performance that you do, and you've also done so many things in your life. But I'm wondering if there is a type of art form that still makes you nervous.    [00:04:34] Margaret Cho: Music. I think playing an instrument in front of people, I think because when I was a child and would perform these recitals, I would be so nervous. There were a couple of times in recitals where I had to start over, you know? When you're, like, eight or nine years old and you make a mistake and have to start over, and this audience is, like, hundreds of people, it's, like, really mortifying. I still carry that. I play m- numerous instruments, and I really dread playing them in public. What helped me a little bit is busking, which I did quite a lot of over, over the years because when you're playing out on the street, there's a… I don't know. It's like people are not really paying attention to you, and therefore you're kind of in this divide of I'm in performance, but I'm also kind of not. So that helped. In general, I refrain nowadays from when I do music, I don't usually play my instrument along with the band. I usually just focus on singing. Even that is quite nerve-wracking. Singing and doing music still, even though I've been doing it really my whole life, there is something about it that, that quite, um… because when you're singing, you're actually also the instrument. So there's a bit of more required. That's why I always prefer comedy. Your quality of voice doesn't matter because the music you're making doesn't have to sound pleasing.    [00:05:59] Miko Lee: And when you were busking, what instrument were you playing?   [00:06:02] Margaret Cho: Guitar. Ah. So I would play guitar, sometimes a six-string banjo, sometime, I'd play all manner of sort of guitar-necked instruments, which can go from, guitar to mandolin to a cello that's, it has a guitar neck, so I can play- Ah that as well. So all those things, I cheat at everything 'cause I have a guitar neck.    [00:06:21] Miko Lee: I love that. The improv just comes out of you in all different ways, I guess.    [00:06:27] Margaret Cho: Yeah.   [00:06:27] Miko Lee: So you have been a path maker, rule breaker in so many aspects of your life, from comedy obviously, and producing and starring in the first Asian American TV show, actor, fashion maven, author, rapper, podcast host, and out and proud queer role model. I'm wondering, what's a career dream that you aspire to?    [00:06:46] Margaret Cho: Ooh, well, I wanna be an old lady crime show, like Murder She Wrote. I wanna just solve crimes. I love, like, a British crime show, like an old lady solving crime. Like a Prime Suspect, like a Helen Mirren. I love that kind of genre of television, and so I would love to mature in that 'cause, like, it's so interesting and also so rich and, I feel really drawn to it. So that's something that I haven't… I'm a participant in a lot of those types of shows. I'm on a show called Bull Trent, which is very much that, which is really cool. And then I've been on Law & Order, which is the ultimate, SVU is the ultimate sort of crime show. So I would love to engage in that genre more.   [00:07:31] Miko Lee: Ooh, are you developing that on your own?    [00:07:34] Margaret Cho: I'm not, but I am participating in lots of other people's versions of it. They're not out yet, so they will be coming, forthcoming.    [00:07:44] Miko Lee: Coming soon, and then your own version starring you. Yes. The- Yeah … modern Murder She Wrote. I would love it. In what town would this be? In San Francisco or in-    [00:07:53] Margaret Cho: Oh, San Francisco would be great. Yeah. San Francisco or, like, Marin.    [00:07:56] Miko Lee: Oh, God. That would be really funny.    [00:07:58] Margaret Cho: Sausalito. Sausalito would be so fun. You know, Napa Valley. You know, something, like, very, like, th- this community that looks very, like Saint Helena, like Calistoga, s- community that's very quaint and peaceful and, like, kind of like foodie oriented and, like, very, you, you know, you think very upscale, but actually there's a lot of dirty dealings going on underneath the surface.   [00:08:20] Miko Lee: The wine country Murder She Wrote.    [00:08:23] Margaret Cho: Yes, I love it.    [00:08:24] Miko Lee: I would watch that. That's fun. So you also have expressed your art in so many ways. Your body is filled with so many tattoos. I think you have over 70. Which of your tattoos evokes the strongest emotion for you?    [00:08:38] Margaret Cho: Well, right now I'm in this, like, trend only getting art from Korean artists, and these are guys. People from Korea who are tattooing now are really the best in the world. They are the state of the art. Like, their eye and their talent is just so innovative. There it's semi-illegal, so they do it under duress, you know, and they have to sort of do all these different things to do it. But their ability to just visualize things that are just, that seemed impossible, you know, these miracles on skin that they can do. The art now I'm really resonating with. There's an artist now that works exclusively in Dancheong, which is a kind of the color scheme of Korean temple art. And so all of his tattooing reflects that. And so I'm working on a very, very large piece on my leg that is, all Dancheong, which you know, for me, like having had lots of different kinds of tattoo, like I had sort of Japanese traditional and a lot of American traditional, and a lot of just kind of different kinds of art. Now to just really delve into the art of my ancestors is quite powerful, and by being done by very young, very skilled tattoo artists from Korea. You know, so I get to speak in Korean to them. We communicate in a language that is shared, that's ours, which is very different from the way that I've communicated with all of the other artists that I've had over my time as a tattooed person. So, um, yeah, tattooing for me, it's, it's all about Korea right now.    [00:10:21] Miko Lee: And what inspired your first tattoo?    [00:10:25] Margaret Cho: My first tattoo was done by Don Ed Hardy, who is a legendary Bay Area tattooer, also, an amazing guy and he was a friend of the employees of my father, who, my father owned Paperback Traffic, which is his gay bookstore just going in the 1970s. And so a lot of people were getting tattooed by Don Ed Hardy. They were getting full body suits in the '70s and '80s, and the, the, um, images, like, so on our refrigerator as a… When I was a child, my father would put up, um, the full body tattoos of these guys that worked for him. So that's what I would see every day. Instead of, like, our graded papers or, like, stuff that you usually have on a refrigerator, it was photographs of completely tattooed people. Um, and that really stayed with me. And so when I was ready to be tattooed, and this is, like, 2002, um, my father's employees and all of our, like, old friends took me down to see Don Ed Hardy, who was doing these body suits, and, he gave me my very, very first very large Japanese-inspired piece on my stomach and back. And that kind of started it off. I got the most painful, most difficult place in your body tattooed first, which is, like, basically your stomach, and your sternum, your chest. All those areas are really, like, those are the worst, and I got that over with. And so I realized, oh, I could actually keep on doing this. And I always knew that I would be heavily tattooed because of that.   [00:11:59] Miko Lee: So your first one you chose really big, not just like a small something. You got a really big one.    [00:12:03] Margaret Cho: Yeah.    [00:12:04] Miko Lee: Wow. Yeah. Just jump in, girl. Just jump in.    [00:12:07] Margaret Cho: Well, I just knew that was right, and I knew also this was probably, like, the only time that I would be able to get a very large piece from Don Ed Hardy, you know? Yeah. People know him, of course, from the clothing line- That's right … and the sort of Y2K influence. But he is so much more than that. His influence on tattooing is really significant. That was towards the end of his tattooing career. He didn't have many years where he kept doing it after, 'cause he explained to me that he absorbs the pain of people. Wow. And so he realized, like, that probably wasn't so good for him physically as he aged, I was really lucky to get what I got from him, which is a very, very large piece and a very important piece.   [00:12:51] Miko Lee: Amazing. And as you're talking about your childhood and growing up in the bookstore, it just makes me reflect on how your childhood was so unique and so interesting. Mm-hmm. And I'm wondering if today you were to make a television show about your childhood, how very different… With, with more artistic freedom. It would be so fun. It would be so fascinating. There's so many more streaming options than just the three networks that we grew up with. Yeah. So, what would that be like for you to do a TV show on your childhood now?    [00:13:23] Margaret Cho: I would love it. I mean, I would love to create that world, recreate that world, because, you know, we had the influence of, like, people who were doing a lot of very early body modification, meaning these full, full body tattoos, and, like, body piercing, which was such a different thing. I mean, in the 1970s we had the rise of Harvey Milk you know, and his assassination.    [00:13:44] Miko Lee: Mm-hmm.    [00:13:44] Margaret Cho: We also had the devastation of the People's Temple, which was all San Francisco people.    [00:13:50] Miko Lee: Yep, yep.    [00:13:51] Margaret Cho: It happened in Guyana, people don't realize this originated in San Francisco and came from there. All the people who died were San Franciscans, and Oakland, Bay Area people. This is our people. My parents actually rented the recently vacated People's Temple for my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary. Wow. Like, crossing the police tape. To go in and have a Korean party, and then my mother's, “Lot of ghosts.” She saw all the ghosts.   [00:14:19] Miko Lee: Yeah, I'm sure.   [00:14:21] Margaret Cho: “Ghosts, ghosts, lot of ghosts. Well, ghosts don't really do anything. They just make food get cold very fast.” You know, like that kind of a thing. So it would be a great TV show, I think.    [00:14:32] Miko Lee: Ugh, I would watch that too. We're talking about your new show, Choligarchy, which is gonna be at Berkeley Rep, and I read that you said it brings you back to your roots as a political comedian. Can you share more about this?    [00:14:44] Margaret Cho: Well, I had the luxury of the Obama administration where I didn't feel like I had to fight so hard to be heard and seen as a queer Asian American woman, 'cause I worked on the Obama campaign, I worked on, getting people registered to vote in 2008 in Philadelphia. I worked on all these different things with Cal Penn in 2008 to assure a kind of future where we are gonna have something different, and then we did. And then so I got to spend about eight years where I could do dance, I could do music, I could kinda like drift into these other arenas of work that I hadn't been able to do because, before, had been, like, so much about fighting the Bush administration, so much about fighting what was going on. So now to be able to return to a thing that I'm very used to, like political commentary, where I'm really focused on using my voice to affect change and to create change, and it's really profound, you know? I love doing this show. It's got me thousands and thousands of death threats, which is also really terrifying and bizarre. I've always had a kind of very confrontational relationship with conservatives, but now it's escalated to the point of, like, oh, I actually do fear for my safety. But I think that it's worth it. The message is worth it, and I'm proud to do this show, and I'm very, very excited to bring it to very progressive Berkeley, which they're gonna hear it better than anyone. I do think Berkeley is even more progressive than San Francisco. So it's exciting.    [00:16:27] Miko Lee: Well, San Francisco is filled with tech bros now, so it's a very- Yeah … different vibe than when we were-   [00:16:32] Margaret Cho: That's right.   [00:16:32] Miko Lee: growing up. I'm wondering, I heard you say about how different it was during the Bush regime, which is actually relatively tame in retrospect compared to the fascistic times we're living in now. I'm wondering how different, now that you're going back to the kind of political roots, how different is it from that Bush time in your approach to your comedy?    [00:16:51] Margaret Cho: Well, Bush never descended into a cult. Bush never had the sort of magnetism as a person, to demand the cult-like sort of atmosphere that sort of exists now, where we have a leader who will gladly let all of his followers be on a decoy plane while he rushes away in a catering van. We think the decoy plane, that's really America. Like, the decoy– we are all, as a nation, on the decoy plane. He's happily content to let us all die to ensure his safety. It's like they're, and they're still gonna follow him after that. So that's a cult, you know? This is a different beast than we're dealing with just sort of patriotism or the idea of like xenophobia or the idea of wanting this kind of America that Bush wanted. Bush couldn't create that because he was not a cult leader, whereas now we have a bona fide cult and cult leader on a path to destruction.    [00:17:57] Miko Lee: So given this time that we're living in and how complicated it is, I'm wondering, especially as you're going on tour with this show, what brings you comfort and makes you feel connected to home when you're on tour or when you're away?   [00:18:10] Margaret Cho: Well, my dog is with me all the time, so that's really special. She'll be there at Berkeley. She's really, really amazing. I'm a big fan of social media. It's connecting with people on there, and people are encouraging me through there. There's a lot of points where I carry home with me. I'm also, at home on the road, because I've been traveling and performing for over 40 years, so it's a place that I feel a great deal of comfort in.    [00:18:35] Miko Lee: Because you mentioned social media, I'm just wondering, isn't that where the death threats are coming from, though, is social media? Or are you getting them in—   [00:18:42] Margaret Cho: Yes. But I'm also get, I get them on my phone. I get them, like they—   [00:18:45] Miko Lee: Oh, you, they- Yeah … find your cellphone and contact you—   [00:18:47] Margaret Cho: Yeah.   [00:18:48] Miko Lee: directly? Wow.    [00:18:49] Margaret Cho: Yeah, I get them, like, you know… I'm also concerned about, I've been doxxed, you know, they threatened to kill my dog, and I'm like, “She's white. She's one of you. Why would you kill her?” It's kind of funny.   [00:19:01] Miko Lee: But you don't respond to any of these folks, right?    [00:19:04] Margaret Cho: No, you can't, because you just don't know what… I always think about, like, Melissa Hortman. They killed her dog. I don't wanna be another example of, like, MAGA lunacy. When you speak out and you are a symbol of what they don't want. They don't want women, they don't want people of color talking. When you are that you're really in the line of fire. That's why traveling works for me, I get to be very, very stealth and hidden. Um, and that's kinda also why I travel so much, is to be stealth. Mm. I get so much encouragement from social media. I don't wanna cut myself off from it. But yeah, you have to be careful.    [00:19:42] Miko Lee: So you feel like that balance outweighs it?    [00:19:45] Margaret Cho: Yeah, for sure.   [00:19:45] Miko Lee: And I'm wondering if you think there's something that's misunderstood about you?    [00:19:49] Margaret Cho: When I'm talking and people don't like what I'm saying, they will say, “Oh, look at this has-been talking again.” And I'm like, “I'm not talking because I think I'm a celebrity. I'm talking because I am alive, and everybody who is alive has the right to speak.” I think this is really important. I don't talk because I feel like I have a responsibility to talk because I represent anything. No, I talk because we should all be talking. We should all have a voice. I don't have a sense of importance about myself or who I am or what I do. I think that everybody should be talking, and now we should all be talking because now we are all on that decoy plane, and he will leave us to die. So I'm going to say something about it. People have a myth about celebrity that somehow it involves our ego, and that's why we feel compelled to have a voice. But I think we should all have a voice no matter who we are.    [00:20:41] Miko Lee: I've heard you call yourself the patron saint of outsiders. Can you talk about what that means to you?    [00:20:47] Margaret Cho: I think for me it means to be able to have, my queerness front loaded, my Asianness front loaded, my gender front loaded, all these things that I want to be able to talk to those who feel like they don't feel represented by mainstream culture, by white supremacy. If you have felt rejected or even just not included by society at large, I wanna hear your voice. I wanna hear your opinion, and I wanna know you.    [00:21:15] Miko Lee: And last question, why should folks go and see Oligarchy at Berkeley Rep?    [00:21:20] Margaret Cho: Oh, it's Choligarchy.   [00:21:20] Miko Lee: Choligarchy.   [00:21:22] Margaret Cho: It's my nation. It's my dictatorship. In my dictatorship, we have universal healthcare. In my dictatorship, we have a universal living wage. If we actually made the billionaires pay their share, if we actually stopped supporting Israel and Argentina, other countries which I don't know why we give them so much money, but we do, if we stop doing that, we stop supporting the billionaires, if we stop giving corporations handouts, we could actually have a universal living wage where everybody in this nation would just be able to just live. We could just live because we are American. We could just live. And then your work could be what you really wanna do. That would be such an important change to the way that we exist as Americans. And we could do that if we actually stopped giving b- bailouts to corporations, actually made billionaires pay their share, and stopped giving money to countries that are not ours. That's what my platform is. That's what I run on, and that's what I plan to do.    [00:22:35] Miko Lee: And folk can find out more by going to see the show at Berkeley Rep, and we'll put a link in our show notes. Thank you so much, Margaret Cho, for joining us on Apex Express.    [00:22:45] Margaret Cho: Thank you.    [00:22:46] Miko Lee: Next up, get a preview of an upcoming unique performance at Oakland Asian Culture Center. Listen to Sawaal Jawaab    MUSIC   [00:24:01] Miko Lee: That was Sawal Jawab with Arjun Verma, Eman Hashimi, and Pezhham Akhavass in Interweaving: Indo-Persian Exchanges, a one-night-only performance on Friday, September 11th at the Oakland Asian Culture Center. The concert's a rare opportunity for Bay Area audiences to experience the interplay of some of Asia's richest classical music traditions from India, Iran, and Afghanistan. Next up, we hear from two voices, multimedia artist Masaki Fujihata and Carin Adams, senior curator at the Oakland Museum. Masaki Fujihata is a world-renowned sound, installation, interactive, and new media artist. He's also a professor at Keio University. His work has been shown all around the world, and now it's coming to the Oakland Museum, opening September 18th and running through the end of December. The piece is called BeHere / 1942, A New Lens on the Japanese American Incarceration, and it's a new augmented reality work. So tune in to my interview with Masaki and Carin Welcome to Apex Express, multimedia artist Masaki Fujihata and Carin Adams, senior curator at Oakland Museum.    [00:25:13] I'm so happy to have you both with me, and we're talking about the new exhibit BeHere / 1942: A New Lens on the Japanese American Incarceration, which opens at the Oakland Museum from Friday, September 18th to Sunday, December 27th. So thank you so much for joining me. I wanna start with a question I ask all of my guests. I'm gonna start first with you, Carin, and then I'll go to Masaki, and the question is, who are your people, and what legacy do you carry with you?    [00:25:53] Carin Adams: Oh, wow. I think there are lots of different facets of my family and who I think of as my people. Um, I think in, in this work in particular, I'm really, um, thinking a lot about my grandparents, my, my mother's parents, and, um, my mom, who's turning 91 in, um, October, and, um, her and her siblings' experience, um, being incarcerated in Tule Lake. So- Mm … that, I think has, has a lot to do with wh- why I'm here, and thank you so much for having me.    [00:26:36] Miko Lee: Mm-hmm. Thank you so much. And Masaki, what about you? Who are your people, and what legacy do you carry with you?    [00:26:43] Masaki Fujihata: Yeah, in my case, my, career started with the computer graphics long time ago in the '80s, so I came in, uh, Bay Area and, uh, West Coast quite frequently to join a big, uh, conference and so on. But then in '90s, I was very many times to be invited to be in Europe, so-called media art, i- is so dominant. So my curiosity is about the visual arts plus computer technology. Then nearly 10 years ago, I started to play with augmented reality. I recognized AR is a very good technology to put the history in actual moment. So the title Be Here 1942 means, I try to call the people in the past in the present. After one of my friend, the professor at UCLA invite me to be in Los Angeles, then we started to focus onto the Japanese Americans' history. That was the first, a kind of coincidence, but it was, very interesting to me because, I was born in Tokyo and grew up here in Tokyo, so usually I didn't think about who is a Japanese. [00:28:10] Along with this production, I studied a lot, not only the racial problems, but also the identity, , not only the personal identity, but also identity of Japanese and also American. It's really difficult to understand what's is the identity in the America because so many different people are living together and of course there are several conflicts. This is very good study for me, through the new media technology and, through the meeting with the people. Some of them really had, severe experience inside the camp. I never had a chance to think about these opportunities. Then I really want to recreate what had happened in the 1942. That was my point of view for this project.    [00:29:08] Miko Lee: I'm wondering when you were growing up in Japan, did you learn about the Japanese American incarceration?    [00:29:15] Masaki Fujihata: Maybe, maybe, but a tiny. Most of the young students just thought, oh, this is the history, not mine    [00:29:27] Miko Lee: And did you… Were there kibei that were there? Cause I know there were a lot of Japanese Americans that had been pushed out and repatriated to Japan. Did you grow up knowing any of those people?    [00:29:39] Masaki Fujihata: Mm, not, not really. Not really. Um, how can I say? Mm, maybe this is the education, the Japanese education. They didn't talk much about the history. The first part is an ancient moment, is very, very, you know, impressive. But, at the end of the term, so the modern age usually passing very, very fast.    [00:30:10] Miko Lee: Oh, interesting.    [00:30:11] Masaki Fujihata: Yeah, so n- not only about, history between America and Japan, but also China and Japan.   [00:30:18] Miko Lee: Mm-hmm.    [00:30:19] Masaki Fujihata: We have very few knowledge in, on the context of, uh, history education. I mean—   [00:30:24] Miko Lee: So sort of World War II- I mean- and forward? From World War II—   [00:30:27] Masaki Fujihata: Yeah, yeah …   [00:30:28] Miko Lee: You didn't really learn about it?   [00:30:28] Masaki Fujihata: Yeah, modern age. Modern age. I believe this is very big problem in the education.    [00:30:35] Miko Lee: That's so interesting. So the first that you really learned about the Japanese American incarceration was during, when you started this project at UCLA? Is that right?    [00:30:44] Masaki Fujihata: Yeah, yeah. I know something about the history in the US, but when I started to do research, there are many details, and every people's history is very, very different. So the textbook of the history is just the surface- So that's why I wanted to show more the detail through a new media technology.    [00:31:16] Miko Lee: I read a quote from you that said, “My aim was to peer deeply into photographs to derive from them more than was visible on the surface.” Can you talk a little bit more about what that means to you?   [00:31:29] Masaki Fujihata: Yes, because, I started to think about to focus on the moment when they ride the bus. So then, of course, I did some research to read some oral history, but, most of them didn't tell about the moment because I think this was just one hour or two hours for waiting. I suppose they usually don't want to remember, and also they thought that this is not important day, then they forgot.   [00:32:04] Miko Lee: What was it about the bus that you were curious about?    [00:32:08] Masaki Fujihata: We planned to realize our project, to think about the beginning. What is the beginning? There, there are quite many novels and writings about the life in the camp because of, of course, this is so heavy. Four years in the camp is unbelievable. According to my research, some people said they thought the war will ends in three months. But in there they spend in the camp, over four years. So of course, this is a heavy story and also while in the inside the camp. There are some conflict between the first generation, second generation or American side or Japanese side. The beginning is, of course, the Pearl Harbor raid, but, the bus, suddenly one day the bus came into your town and you were asked to ride the bus, and before riding they didn't tell them where they are going. So so if it happened now, how can we behave? So this is my question. This is the beginning, and they didn't know what will happen in the future. And then in parallel, I did some research to see the photographs because, there are many documentary photographs were in the archive, in National Archive, and also Library Congress. I tried to, see the photography, but as I said, when see the picture, you know, the detail is telling a different story, against the comment. The comment is just they are lining up for riding a bus or something, or Japanese American families get together and waiting. Of course they have some name card. At last I found through one of small girl's eye, there is a reflection of the photographer. But, not only the photographer, there are two, three, or four more people standing with the cameraman. Then, of course I understand they are all Caucasians. They are not Japanese American people. So for the little lady, for the little girl, when she was surrounded by, white officer, perhaps military police, she has nothing to do. But on the surface of the photography, she's smiling. So this contrast is the beginning. So this is a problem about media, visual media. So then I really want to share this experience with the other audiences through the exhibition. That was my intention.   [00:35:18] Miko Lee: And had you seen the photographs from Dorothea Lange and Russell Lee prior to working on this project?   [00:35:25] Masaki Fujihata: Of course, I know these names because they are very famous,, documentary photographer, the magazine Life started to publish from the year 1933, it was hit, so popular. I was really surprised because they did the job to make a document for Japanese Americans, and there is over 4,000 pictures left in the archive. I saw all of these so many times, so I can tell each picture. I can tell what is the difference, between the Dorothea and Russell Lee. So each photographer has, different characteristics. But I really surprised because, Dorothea Lange's photography is very different from others. And—   [00:36:18] Miko Lee: And the government didn't like them. They locked them away for years because they were too real.    [00:36:25] Masaki Fujihata: Yeah, and because, Dorothea's photography is always associated with the object inside the photography. She tried to understand who is she, who, who is—-    [00:36:38] Miko Lee: Mm-hmm …    [00:36:39] Masaki Fujihata: and try to have a good relationship with the object. Most of the photographer, like a press cameraman, it's just go there, “Hey, smile,” and shot is their, you know, way of business. But Dorothea's way is very different, so sometimes, I can tell she is always calculating the distance from her to the object. I enjoyed very much to have a chance to see all of these details. Of course, another luckiness because all of these photograph were shot by the government, then all of these are now public domain. Even me from Tokyo, I can see so many photographs with high resolution. I think those are made after year 2000 because of the technology came in. Then now they are supplying 3,000 by 4,000 pixels. That's why I could enlarge and to see the reflection on the girl's eye. It's a coincidence, but also it's the evolution of computer technology from analog photography. So this is also interesting part to share with the audience.   [00:38:01] Miko Lee: Thank you. Carin, I wonder if you could talk about what an audience will see when they come in to see the exhibit.    [00:38:08] Carin Adams: The exhibition is going to happen inside and outside the gallery. So if people are visiting the museum coming up through our entrance on Oak Street, they will have an opportunity to enter the augmented reality application that Masaki has designed where they're, standing there grounded in, the architecture of the Oakland Museum. But they're also seeing people, dressed as if they were in 1942, waiting with their belongings and their family members. They'll be able to see the buses that lined up on Oak Street in '42. There was a civil control station that was across the street, and Dorothea Lange took some very famous photographs of people waiting with their belongings in front of their houses that, on the museum side of the street. Masaki has adapted the augmented reality that he first developed for Los Angeles for Oakland. So people on entrance onto our campus will have that experience, and then if they come into the gallery, then they'll really be entering into the gaze of these eyes. They'll be surrounded by very high resolution images that Masaki has blown up, to mural size. You're forced to encounter the people that were reflected in the eyes of the subjects that Lange photographed.    [00:39:45] Miko Lee: Thank you, and I know that in the collection, you've had these Dorothea photos for a long time, right, in the Oakland Museum's—   [00:39:53] Carin Adams: Yeah. The Oakland Museum is the holder of the Dorothea Lange archive, including some of her images of the incarceration. The Bancroft Library also has extensive holdings of her work and material , related to this history. And of course, Masaki did lots of research in the National Archive and Library of Congress.   [00:40:16] Miko Lee: Masaki, I know this is the second version of the show since you have opened it first at JAMM and at UC, with UCLA. Yeah. What was it like for you to recreate it for the Oakland Museum? How has that experience been?   [00:40:30] Masaki Fujihata: I'm very, very lucky to find OMCA. Mm-hmm. We started to think about the production in OMCA. I made a research through, of course Dorothy Lang's photography. Then there is a number of the street, 1117 Oak Street is the place where people apply their address and family name. The Civil Control Station is that address. I was very surprised because this is a street in front of the museum, and actually the other side of the street was the Civil Control Station where the bus came in. So this is exact place I really wanted to put my augmented reality models. So I was very shocked because I never think about the museum is a real place.   [00:41:24] Miko Lee: So it's truly a place-based piece of art because that is the history coming alive in that very spot.    [00:41:31] Masaki Fujihata: Yes. Yeah. So, all the projects start from the realization of augmented reality.    [00:41:39] Miko Lee: Mm-hmm.    [00:41:40] Masaki Fujihata: So augmented reality is a kind of tech term, but augmentation is adding some information rather than the first wa- surface or rather than the display. In this case, we are putting the happenings in the 1942 in present, and then try to make a contrast between now and the past. The exhibition inside the gallery is showing a kind of process of the research to make this augmented reality piece because for making the 3D model data, we invite many volunteers into a special studio. I have to direct them. I have to prepare some scenario for them. In some cases, you are the university students. Coincidentally, you met the professor, while waiting for the bus. This is a fiction I made. When I need to make a scenario, I really need a research what is possible, what is not possible. So then the photography help me a lot to make a small scenario.    [00:43:01] Miko Lee: How many volunteers worked with you on this?    [00:43:04] Masaki Fujihata: I think totally 64 volunteers.    [00:43:08] Miko Lee: Wow. That is amazing.    [00:43:10] Masaki Fujihata: Each one was asked to walking towards the point where the bus would come, and then the second part is waiting, and then the third part is just lining up for the bus. So there is three different scenario. Then each person appears three times. Then totally you will see nearly 200 people.    [00:43:37] Miko Lee: Wow. And I understand that you use, in order to utilize the AR, you use cameras that kind of replicate those used during the incarceration, and I'm wondering what made you decide to choose that?   [00:43:53] Masaki Fujihata: So I try to know the core idea of each technology, because the technology is usually used for capitalism. My manifest is liberate technology from capitalism. So technology has another dimension, not only for serving for the capitalism to make money for your life more rational, but the technology also can give you a chance, who are you? What is life? What is the world? So I really want to use the technology another dimension of the technology usually used by the companies, and capitalism. In this case, this project is really good because very nice photography was left in the archive. But imagine in the 1942, photography was a high technology. Very few technicians or rich people could have the camera. Now so popular everybody has a camera inside their mobile phone, but it was high tech. And now augmented reality is somehow popular technology, but no one didn't use the AR technology to think about what we are doing as an art. So I wanted to use augmented reality to, to think about what is our life    [00:45:32] Miko Lee: Ooh, that is so interesting. I really appreciate that. And I'm wondering because you've seen audiences go through the first exhibit, I'm wondering if anything surprised you by audiences that have seen it and what, what you'd like people to walk away with after going to your installation.    [00:45:51] Masaki Fujihata: I was really surprised because this was my first case the audience had a tear. So after they saw the augmented reality, some of the person said, “Masaki,” I suppose, she suppose that, “Perhaps my grandfather was here.” Could feel the same impression or imagine, she could imagine what had happened on her grandfather So it's a bit like a cinema, but there is no written story, so each person can explore the images through a tablet. But, uh, maybe five minutes later, uh, the user will feel inside the scene. So In another words, I can say you are going to feel you are inside a cinema studio. You will be captured by the camera. And also another, okay, another interesting aspect because, I could develop this project because the photographs were left made by Dorothy and other people, uh, professional documentary photographer made these photography. So photography was left. And then, um, while you are using iPad in the entrance plaza of, Oakland Museum, you will see many Japanese people wearing the costume and, waiting for the bus. But now you are the cameraman. You believe you are seeing what had happened through the display, but, imagine for them inside the image were looked by you. So this is the viewer you are going to see, but also from them, from the object, you are the cameraman.   [00:48:04] Miko Lee: So you want people to feel both sides, both being the watcher but also in it—   [00:48:09] Masaki Fujihata: Yeah.   [00:48:10] Miko Lee: Immersed in the experience.    [00:48:11] Masaki Fujihata: Yeah, hunter.    [00:48:13] Miko Lee: Mm.    [00:48:13] Masaki Fujihata: Image hunter, yeah.    [00:48:15] Miko Lee: Image hunter, mm. I, I feel like you're saying utilizing technology as a tool for your emotions as opposed to a capitalistic gain. I'm wondering if you're working with AI at all, and your thoughts about it. Because you've really been on the forefront of so much multimedia since the '80s and I'm just wondering now people are just talking about AI and the impact of artists  and I wonder what your thoughts are about that.   [00:48:39] Masaki Fujihata: I, I think, uh, it's too early to, uh, work with AI as an artist because, uh, e- even the developer of, uh, AI didn't know what happened inside, so it's a black- totally black box. So that's interesting part of AI. Uh, maybe you know some, some story about this. Very recently, uh, the AI ju- just hack the connection, then they escape from the inside the laboratory to go outside the internet. So this could happen. Uh, that's why, because a human couldn't imagine. So the AI doing something different, and it's really a black box. Then, uh, that's interesting point. If I can be inside the development company as an artist, I can make something interesting hacking software, but it's a huge business, and, uh, I think this is not the moment for the artist. And also, as you know, all the data inside the AI is, uh, happenings in the past.    [00:50:02] Miko Lee: Right.    [00:50:04] Masaki Fujihata: And then, right, the present is important for the humans. What is the role of the artist? There is some, uh, sentence, artist is the person who is creating something new which has not exist before. so, uh, we are not AI, so w-we have to know who, what we should do in contrast to AI is the important moment    [00:50:37] Miko Lee: Thank you so much. I wonder if you would want to just reflect briefly on how this, this piece that you're presenting at Oakland Museum is very resonant right now in America because of the current politics of incarceration of peoples and you know, we're at the same, at the exact same concentration camps where Japanese Americans were held. Immigrants are being detained and put there right now. I'm wondering how this piece speaks to the moment that we're living in in the United States right now.   [00:51:13] Masaki Fujihata: Um, please do not make more mistakes that American government did before in 1942. So Our project can be a kind of reference what the American government did after the Pearl Harbor.    [00:51:39] Carin Adams: Masaki, would you wanna talk a little bit about the new piece that you're making?    [00:51:45] Masaki Fujihata: Oh, I see, I see. I think- That's a good idea. I, I totally forgot. Yeah. Thank you, Carin. Because I proposed to Carin and museum about to make a new piece. The idea is about, uh, the poster. The, that they… So the, in Okura case, maybe, uh, to l- late April in 1942, the poster paste on anywhere, everywhere inside the town, and talking about the, at the certain day, you cannot be stay here. You will be criminal. So, so this is the s- starting point. Then they need to come to the civil control station to sign up, and then one week later, the bus came in, then they need to go to the camp. Then the poster is now very famous, but, uh, usually, people didn't read it Then I, I asked to, collect volunteers to ask read this text on the poster, uh, several different locations inside the Oakland. So when you see the final result, the view of the people reading the text aloud is very peaceful, very bright, California sunshine and there is a lake behind and sometimes, you know, the buses came and stop and go there. So this is very peaceful, but the content is very strong- strongly contrast- co- contrasted. So it's a command from the government. I really wanted to, to make this contrast through this new production. So you, you will see three vertical monitors, and, 25 different group of people. I think there was nearly 45 people helped me to realize this   [00:54:02] Miko Lee: What is it you hope to evoke by adding this new piece of the relocation poster?   [00:54:08] Masaki Fujihata: I really wanted to involve some of the young generation and family and also, known Japanese American people. So all of these people, of course, have some fear against the, this moment, and then try to, uh, send messages. So they helped me to realize this.   [00:54:39] Carin Adams: The video is really going to provide the soundtrack for the exhibition. There is no sound in any of the other film elements or in the AR other than what visitors bring in conversation into the space. But they'll be able to hear the local volunteers that Masaki assembled reading the exclusion order text and we're expecting that to be very profound- impactful. And yes, some of the people who volunteered for this new video element were incarcerated themselves, others are descendants, and then there are just people who are representing different immigrant experiences who wanted to participate.

Jaymee Jay joins us on a swapcast with William Ramsey & Hans Utter to discuss the Jonestown massacre & it's psychological connections to the Covid-jab campaign of 2021. This is part 19 of our Manchurian Candidate series. Jim Jones was an evil man running multiple mind control experiments in the jungle. With cult programming, psychic driving, shame & humiliation he dominated the individuals who moved to his compound in Guyana. This deep state operation was an experiment to learn how best to manipulate a crowd into murdering themselves and their children. Ironically, this cyanide poison was not only mixed with Flavor-aid, most of the deaths were due to injections from hypodermic needles.

Note: As a reminder, Rumcast Reserve bottles are officially available in stores and shipping from our online retailer! You can grab your bottles here.You can watch the video version of this episode on YouTube.This is an episode that's been months in the making. After our Rumcast Reserve project, Main Rum Company put together a mystery box of old and rare cask samples that they promised would wow us. Thanks to U.S. customs, it took nearly a year for us to actually get our hands on the samples, but once we finally did we can definitively say they did not disappoint. They were some of the finest rums we've ever tasted.For an extra bit of fun, we decided to try our luck at guessing their origins. This episode shows you how we did, all in real time, followed by a ranking of our personal favorites at the end. Here's a look ahead at what we tasted:1992 Pampero aged for 34 years in ex-bourbon and ex-Scotch malt whisky casks, 42.3% ABV1989 (or 1991?) Caroni aged 34-37 years in an ex-rum cask, 45.4% ABV, TMC8 mark1983 blend of various Hampden and Long Pond marks (including DOK, HGML, CH, H, HLCF, LPS, and STC♥E), full aging details not revealed, 48.6% ABV, listen for more detailsBlend of Barbados, Jamaica, and Guyana rums with an average vintage of 1990, though rums from '82, '83, '86, and '89 are also in the blend, 48.9% ABV1989 Guyana (Uitvlugt Port Mourant) aged for 37 years in ex-bourbon and ex-Scotch malt whisky casks, 56.7% ABV1984 Clarendon (MMW mark) aged for 42 years (including 34 at origin) in an ex-rum cask, 59.7% ABVThese were all cask samples from Main Rum Company, so everything is cask strength and single cask. Have a listen, and see how wrong we were!

Julian Chenin calls IMAGE “Disneyland for geoscience,” and after walking the exhibition floor it is easy to understand what he means. But for ROGII, the real value is what happens when people stop at the booth, pull out a notebook, and start sketching an idea together. Julian describes it as innovation happening in real time, with people from different parts of the subsurface workflow suddenly in the same conversation. Those conversations have mattered as ROGII has grown from a company focused mainly on geosteering into a much broader part of the subsurface workflow. This year Julian is hearing renewed interest in older assets, northern Brazil, Guyana, Africa, the Gulf of Mexico, and underdeveloped unconventional plays. His point is that exhibiting is not simply about showing what you already built. Sometimes the conversations on the floor help determine what you should build next.

Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett is a Guyanese diplomat and candidate for Secretary-General of the United Nations. If selected, she would become both the first woman and the first person of Indigenous descent to lead the world body. She joins Mark for a substantive conversation about her vision for the UN at a moment of profound strain on the multilateral system. Drawing on her experience representing Guyana on the Security Council, Rodrigues-Birkett discusses what she learned about the UN's strengths and limitations in preventing and resolving conflict—and what she would do differently as Secretary-General. She also lays out her approach to global development and global health, and makes the case for diplomacy and international cooperation as essential tools for tackling the challenges ahead.

What if making the world a little better didn't require a grand gesture?What if it started with noticing the person standing beside you?In this episode of Casa De Confidence, Julie DeLucca-Collins sits down with author, podcaster, storyteller, and Master of Divinity Kirsten Rudberg for a conversation about spirituality, human connection, storytelling, healing, and finding meaning in the seemingly ordinary moments of life.Kirsten describes herself as a pantheist, believing that everything is sacred and that we live in an intelligent universe with which we can co-create. Her worldview has been shaped by an unconventional childhood spent in Guyana, Pakistan, and the United States, exposing her early to different religions, cultures, foods, traditions, and ways of understanding the world.That curiosity eventually led Kirsten to seminary, despite not identifying with one particular religion.Julie and Kirsten explore what happens when we stop trying to fit spirituality, people, and even ourselves into neat little boxes.They also talk about something remarkably simple that we often underestimate: the power of making another human being feel seen.A compliment to a stranger. Letting someone go ahead of you in line. Buying someone a cup of coffee. Taking the time to listen to a story from someone whose life looks nothing like yours.These "bite-sized blessings" may seem small, but they can create ripples we never get to see.In This EpisodeWhat You'll HearWhat pantheism means to Kirsten and how it shapes her worldviewHow growing up in Guyana and Pakistan influenced her openness to different cultures and beliefsWhy Kirsten pursued a Master of Divinity without subscribing to one particular religionHow storytelling can build empathy between people who disagreeWhy Kirsten calls her podcast a "tithe to the universe"The relationship between trauma, healing, resilience, and how we interact with othersWhy being seen can be one of the greatest gifts we give another personHow living in Santa Fe has influenced Kirsten's spirituality and creativityReconnecting with the land and recognizing our responsibility as stewards rather than simply consumersHow words and everyday interactions can create meaningful changeKirsten's unexpected three-year experience of being supported through house-sittingWhy opening our hearts to strangers might be one small way to change the worldKirsten leaves us with a beautifully simple challenge:Talk to a stranger. Be friendly. Be someone others can talk to. Invite people into your sandbox and have fun.Because sometimes the smallest interaction becomes exactly the blessing someone needed that day.

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:HPQ Silicon Inc. (TSX-V: HPQ) (OTCQB: HPQFF) (FRA: O08)HPQ Silicon and its partner Novacium received their first commercial order for GEN3 silicon-anode battery packs, which will power FPV drones destined for a French Army regiment. The order marks the entry of Novacium's silicon-based anode technology into the French defence supply chain and the shift from testing to commercial deployment. While not financially material, it provides a reference point that could support HPQ's North American battery strategy under its ENDURA+ brand.PyroGenesis Inc. (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY1)PyroGenesis signed a EUR900,000 (about CAD$1.44 million) contract to supply two plasma torch systems, rated 300 kW and 40 kW, to a European research institute focused on non-ferrous metallurgy and critical minerals. A 60% down payment is expected within weeks, with delivery targeted for Q2 2027. The deal deepens PyroGenesis' ties to leading metallurgy research facilities and supports its push into cleaner metal-processing applications.Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF)Omai Gold released a Preliminary Economic Assessment for its 100%-owned Omai project in Guyana, outlining an after-tax NPV of US$4.0 billion and a 24% IRR at a $3,600 per ounce gold price. The plan combines the Wenot open pit and Gilt underground deposits to produce 6.3 million ounces of gold over an 18-year mine life. At recent spot prices near $4,200 per ounce, the after-tax NPV rises to US$5.5 billion, underscoring significant leverage to gold.Independence Gold Corp. (TSXV: IGO) (OTCQB: IEGCF) (FSE: 625)Independence Gold intersected 9.07 g/t gold and 70.56 g/t silver over 31.04 metres at the Tommy Vein on its 3Ts project in British Columbia, including a higher-grade 9.77-metre section at 18.24 g/t gold. A second nearby hole returned 5.86 g/t gold over 27.63 metres. The results validate the company's structural targeting model and point to potential for wider, higher-grade zones supporting future resource expansion.Onyx Gold Corp. (TSXV: ONYX) (OTCQX: ONXGF)Onyx Gold hit 1.7 g/t gold over 67.0 metres at Argus Main, including 13.2 g/t over 6.0 metres and visible gold grading 73.4 g/t over one metre, on its Munro-Croesus project near Timmins, Ontario. The broader Argus Gold System now shows mineralization across roughly 1.4 km of strike and more than 700 metres vertically. The company is about 75% through a fully funded 110,000-metre drill program with roughly $14 million in cash.Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF) (FSE: ZX7)Gladiator Metals intersected 40.0 metres of 1.98% copper, 0.31 g/t gold, 13.29 g/t silver and 920 ppm molybdenum at its Cowley target in Yukon's Whitehorse Copper Project. Every hole on the Northern Limb has returned significant near-surface copper-gold-silver-molybdenum skarn, and the company has expanded planned drilling from 8,000 to more than 14,000 metres. Elevated molybdenum grades add a potentially valuable credit given molybdenum's roughly US$70,000-per-tonne price.New Break Resources Ltd. (CSE: NBRK) (OTCQB: NBRKF) (FSE: O91)New Break Resources drilled 5.28 g/t gold over 11.2 metres and 3.95 g/t gold over 14.0 metres at its Moray gold project south of Timmins, Ontario.Bottom Line: Today's tape was driven by strong gold and copper drill results, major resource milestones like Omai's multi-billion-dollar PEA, and companies expanding market access and defence and critical-mineral supply-chain roles. Together they show a small-cap sector delivering tangible exploration and development progress.Stay ahead of the market — follow AGORACOM for more breaking small-cap news and insights.

El petróleo volvió a ubicar a América Latina en el centro del tablero energético mundial. Pero la pregunta que casi nadie hace en voz alta es otra: ¿alguna vez, en la historia de la región, una bonanza de materias primas terminó bien?Un shock externo —la guerra en Ucrania y el conflicto entre Estados Unidos, Israel e Irán en el estrecho de Ormuz— redujo la oferta mundial de crudo y abrió una ventana inédita para productores como Brasil, que ya exporta más petróleo que soja, Argentina y Vaca Muerta, Guyana y su meteórico despegue, y Venezuela, que reabre sus reservas —las mayores del planeta— tras la salida de Nicolás Maduro. El riesgo detrás de esa renta tiene nombre: la enfermedad holandesa.Conversamos con Marco Aurelio Peña Morales, investigador, economista y abogado nicaragüense, autor del nuevo DP Enfoque de Diálogo Político sobre geoeconomía petrolera regional, para entender cuánto puede durar esta ventana de oportunidad y qué países están en riesgo de desperdiciarla.Enlaces relevantes:DP Enfoque "¿De quién es el petróleo latinoamericano?

Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (NASDAQ:MAKO) (TSXV:MKO), joins me for a comprehensive review of all 4 company Projects, on an operational, developmental and exploration perspective.   The Company operates the high-grade San Albino gold mine in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. Mako owns the Moss Mine, an open pit gold mine in northwestern Arizona, which is ramping up into commercial production. Mako now controls the permitted development-stage Mt. Hamilton Gold-Silver Project located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA. Mako also holds a 100% interest in the development-stage Eagle Mountain Project in Guyana, South America.   Q2 2026 Highlights   Financial $62.6 million in Revenue $31.7 million in Adjusted EBITDA  $25.9 million in Mine OCF ( $13.9 million in Net Income $112.9 million in Cash, Trade Receivables and Marketable Securities $1,996 Cash Cost ($/oz sold)  $2,286 AISC ($/oz sold): San Albino $1,535 and Moss Mine $3,708 Return on Equity ("ROE") of 36.6% and Return on Assets ("ROA") of 23.8%   Growth $2.9 million in exploration and evaluation expenses ($1.4 million in areas surrounding San Albino, $1.4 million at Eagle Mountain, Guyana and $0.1 million in Mt. Hamilton)   The Company currently has a cash and gold-linked securities balance of approximately $112 million, which along with operating cash flow from their two mines, is more than sufficient to fully fund the two remaining development projects, without the need for any external capital. Over the ensuing weeks, the Company plans to unveil its plans for lowering its cost of capital, which could include a pathway for substantial shareholder capital returns.   We went on to review all the ongoing exploration work at San Albino, and Akiba outlined the development progress and next steps for growth at the Moss Mine, the permitting update and rough timeline for development at Mt Hamilton, and the permitting progress being made at Eagle Mountain.       If you have any further questions for Akiba regarding Mako Mining, then please email them into me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Mako Mining at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.     Click here for a summary of the recent news out of Mako Mining.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Are there any countries that might be able to ease the global energy stress?Saudi Arabia might be able to ramp up output, but Houthi attacks could take that away in an instant. Producers like Guyana, Brazil, Venezuela, Canada, and Angola can only add small, incremental volumes, but most major expansion projects are years away.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4hSheOj

Cricket attracts romantics. Whatever the form, so much of the game's prose is dedicated to reflection and understanding. Whilst many fine writers have penned creative words, poetry isn't as strongly associated. Catching The Light, compiled by authors Nick Hogg and Tim Beard, spans a wide range of contributors, from England's John Arlott to Guyana's John Agard, through to Tim Key and Zaffar Kunial of the modern day. From the joy of taking a single catch to references to the 9/11 terror attacks, the subjects are diverse and intriguing.

In this episode, Mariana Campero sits down with Guillermo García Alcocer, former chairman of Mexico's Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) and one of the region's premier energy policy experts. Together, they break down Mexico's dramatic shift from a dominant energy exporter to a country relying on the U.S. for over 70% of its refined fuels and natural gas. They explore the strategic trade-offs and vulnerabilities of this dependence on cheap American gas, as well as the pragmatic policy shifts being implemented to power Mexico's booming manufacturing sector and data centers. They also discuss the unrealistic outlook for Mexico's new policy on fracking, Pemex's mounting debt burden, and why public-private "mixed contracts" struggled to attract bidders.  Finally, they look at the broader regional landscape, examining how the rise of energy players in Guyana, Brazil, and Venezuela could permanently redirect vital capital away from Mexico, and why Mexico's own energy policies mean fewer companies are moving to Mexico. 

Comenzamos un nuevo tema del mes en el que hablamos de sectas. En este episodio conocemos la historia del Templo de los Pueblos, la secta liderada por Jim Jones que en 1978 acabó con la vida de 918 personas en Jonestown, en plena selva de Guyana.

Why do some brands become part of our lives while others disappear?In this episode of Entrepreneur Authorities, Joe Pardavila sits down with branding expert and author Ernie Ross to explore the hidden forces that shape the way people connect with products, companies, and ideas.Ernie is the founder of an award-winning branding and innovation agency and the author of Intangience: How Human Connection Creates Value Between People, Brands, and Ideologies.His work focuses on a simple idea: something only has value when it holds meaning for someone.During the conversation, Ernie explains why Coca-Cola has become one of the most recognized brands in the world, why traditional advertising often falls flat, and how entrepreneurs can shift their messaging from features and functionality toward genuine emotional connection.He also shares stories from his work on political campaigns in Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago, including a classified ad that helped create a national conversation and a powerful 30-second campaign built around a melting candle.The conversation covers:• Why successful brands focus on meaning• What Coca-Cola understands about human connection• The difference between value and worth• Why facts alone rarely persuade people• How emotional messaging changes buying decisions• The difference between propaganda and poignant messaging• How to identify the business you're really in• Why entrepreneurs should view their company through the customer's perspective• The economic opportunities emerging across the CaribbeanErnie also shares a practical exercise from Intangience: ask what you're offering your customer beyond the basic function of your product or service.Chapters00:00 Introduction00:54 Why meaning creates value01:45 Growing up in Guyana under a dictatorship02:36 What scarcity teaches us about value03:07 Why messages need to resonate03:43 What Coca-Cola really sells05:41 How Coke created a brand built around connection06:54 How Coca-Cola became associated with Christmas07:17 The challenge of telling an emotional story08:00 The pillars of purpose10:16 The difference between value and worth11:43 Why advertising fails13:01 How framing changes perspective15:11 The flower shop example every entrepreneur should hear17:07 Propaganda versus poignant messaging20:12 The broken mirror lesson21:42 Building political campaigns that connect emotionally22:31 The classified ad that went viral25:28 A campaign that helped change Guyana28:22 The overlooked business opportunities in the Caribbean32:00 The first exercise entrepreneurs should take from Intangience32:43 Final thoughts

For the first time in 25 years Mikey travels back to Guyana, his mother's mother country and meets his dad.Tune in for part 2 of this Indie episode where Mikey reveals what it was like returning to Guyana as a man, connecting with his cousin, seeing his granny in her element, and finally having the nerve to meet his father. What was meant to be a one time adventure turned into Mikey and his dad spending every day with each other, which allowed Mike to feel like a little boy again. For the first time in his life, Mikey shares a beer with his dad, shares a car, finds out his dad can sing, and tells him he loves him. The re-introduction was divine and the time together blessed and healed a wound that Mikey thought would never close.Later Mikey shares a final message to his dad and then baby Noble before closing out the episode.These series of episodes have been special to Mikey and he hopes you enjoy.Items Mentioned:To hang out with us and support our work as independent creators, join us on Patreon at http://bit.ly/JOINBMM there you'll get access to our Discord channel, unedited, edited and ad-free episodes, zoom meetings with us, and more.Follow us on Social MediaFB: http://bit.ly/BMMonFBIG: http://bit.ly/BMMonIGContactEmail: blackmilmar@gmail.comLeave a voicemail: 770-750-4098Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week's Office Hours covered a range of topics. Bose raised questions about making plans as a Christian and the role of the enemy, to which Pastor Amos responded by emphasizing a balance between planning and praying, citing biblical examples. Sonja inquired about the story of Jacob wrestling with God, and Pastor Amos explained the difference in engagement with God between the Old and New Testaments, focusing on identity in Christ. Bose also discussed the stronghold of cultural traditions in the church, particularly regarding marriage roles, and Pastor Amos agreed on the need for prayer and teaching to address these imbalances. Stephanie asked about the biblical perspective on supporting Israel, and Pastor Amos provided a nuanced view, acknowledging Israel's prophetic significance while noting that they are still accountable for their actions. Deborah shared her reflections on entering her 60s, seeking wisdom on what to carry forward, and received encouragement from Pastor Amos and others about embracing the new decade with wisdom and purpose. The conversation ended with a prayer for the victims of a ferry disaster in Guyana and for various personal and global concerns. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

What if the biggest risk in your practice is the one sitting quietly in a policy binder you haven't opened in two years? In this episode, Tracy Cherpeski talks with Dr. Natasha Guess, founder of Guess Compliance Consulting, about why healthcare compliance is an operational system — not a legal checkbox.  Born and raised in Guyana, South America, Natasha saw what happens when healthcare structure is missing — and built a career helping small and mid-sized practices in the U.S. and Canada protect their patients and their businesses. She shares the three compliance gaps she finds in nearly every practice, why your vendor agreements deserve a quarterly review, how growth quietly creates new exposure, and the one step you can take this week to strengthen your foundation.  Whether you've been putting off a compliance review or you're not sure where your gaps are, this conversation makes the whole topic feel manageable — and gives you a clear place to start.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page 

Dr. Imogene Drakes is a career scientist, spiritual researcher, and international speaker. She grew up in Guyana's multicultural society before moving to the United States in 1989. Her early passion for science led to a journey that would take her across six continents in search of the truth about religion, mythology, and science. Dr. Drakes managed clinical and forensic analyses in Guyana and served as lecturer for the Guyana Police Academy. After relocating to the US, she worked in clinical laboratory science, retiring as a Laboratory Director in 2025. Her diverse interests include teaching public health at SUNY Downstate, singing in a gospel choir, and volunteering as a board member in her community. Dr. Drakes has been recognized for outstanding community service and has presented at major medical society meetings, including as the opening presenter of the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Vermont Medical Society. Dr. Drakes is the author of "Around the World in 42 Days". In episode 692 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what lessons from her multicultural upbringing continues to shape her worldview today, what were the key decisions that shaped your professional path, what inspired her to take a solo journey through 10 countries and 11 ancient sites in just 42 days, what her travels taught her about uncertainty and self-discovery, how college students can find meaning and growth even if they don't have the resources to travel around the world, what are some simple techniques students can use when they're feeling overwhelmed, how to pause when feeling peer pressure and make better decisions in those moments, how to create cultures where people feel safe speaking up when something doesn't feel right, an example of public health achievements that came through laws and policies that most people never think about, and questions about life and purpose students are asking today that she thinks deserve more attention. Enjoy!

#236 - The Darien Gap has a legend attached to it, but Daniel Eggington brings the parts that don't fit the movie version: endless wet days, rivers fought step by step, fear used as a tool, and the mental math of staying alive when you're deep in the jungle with no easy reset button. Daniel doesn't chase comfort or bragging rights. He chases places where there's no blueprint, because that's where he learns fastest and where the story is earned instead of staged. We start with the moment that set his trajectory: leaving the UK as a teenager for Sumatra after working at a zoo and falling in love with wildlife. From there we dig into expedition travel the way it actually works: preparing for snakes and insects, relying on locals for real knowledge, and keeping your impact low. Daniel shares his Guyana journey down the Essequibo River by dugout canoe, including encounters with local belief systems like Kanaima and how culture can shape safety choices as much as terrain does. Then we go deep on the Darien, including geopolitical shifts, how different groups control different areas, why “permission” is part of the route, and what a truly miserable day looks like when you're soaked, underfed, and still pushing forward. We also talk endurance training, why people choose suffering in controlled doses, and Daniel's next massive goal: a first-of-its-kind Congo River walking expedition planned for 12 months or more, supported by a broader team and modern field comms. If you're into extreme adventure, jungle survival, expedition planning, and the mindset behind big goals, hit play, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs a push.
