Gold Hart Copper CEO Isaac Maresky joins Trevor Hall to discuss new geochemical results from the company's Nessa Complex in Chile, where a large soil survey identified multiple gold, copper and silver anomalies coincident with a regional magnetic target. Maresky explains how upcoming trenching and geophysical work could move Nessa toward its first drill program, potentially beginning later this year or early next year. The conversation also covers pending RC drill assays from the high-grade trench at Tolita, the potential acquisition of the Copioso asset, and the impact of Chile's winter weather on upcoming exploration work.

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) says it has identified regulatory failure in satellite spectrum licensing following an inquiry. The Authority says this has led to it drafting amendments to the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations of 2015, and the Radio Frequency Spectrum Fees Regulations of 2010. The Ammendments aim to enable direct-to-device satellite connectivity for all South Africans, including underserved communities. This means that connectivity will no longer just rely on terrestrial networks, but also satellites. This came out of the virtual public hearings on the Draft Amendment to the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations of 2015, and the Draft Amendment to the Radio Frequency Spectrum Fees Regulationso of 2010.

What separates an exceptional executive from an outlier founder? For Sequoia Capital partner Bogomil Balkansky, learning the difference required recalibrating his own definition of talent. In this episode of Technoventure, Peter High speaks with Balkansky about how Sequoia evaluates founders when there is little data to rely on, why intuition matters in early-stage investing, and what his experiences at VMware and Bebop taught him about building enduring companies. They also explore the evolution of Wiz, AI's impact on cybersecurity, and why the companies that define a technology era may not be the ones that first blaze the trail. You'll hear: What makes a founder an “outlier” Why great employees do not always become great founders How Balkansky approaches high-stakes, one-way-door decisions Why startups should earn the right to become platforms How AI could create a new generation of cybersecurity champions Listen to the full conversation for an investor-operator perspective on founders, markets, risk, and building through disruption.

John Batchelor introduces Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium, to discuss the transition from the death of Julius Caesar to the rise of Augustus. Strauss identifies Plutarch and Cassius Dio as the primary historical sources, noting they had access to earlier, now-lost records. The discussion focuses on three main figures: Mark Antony, Octavian, and Cleopatra. At Caesar's death, Mark Antony was a consul and Caesar's lieutenant, hailing from the high Roman nobility. In contrast, Octavian (later Augustus) came from an equestrian family but gained status as Caesar's great-nephew and adopted heir. While Antony was a seasoned warrior, Octavian focused on political acumen. The Second Triumvirate, consisting of Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus, was formed to punish Caesar's assassins, leading to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC, where Antony emerged as the hero while Octavian struggled.

SHL, one of the pioneers in industrial and psychological assessment, has now built a new instrument to assess an individual's readiness for AI. Sara Gutierrez, Chief Science Officer at SHL, explains how SHL is addressing this challenge. Drawing on SHL's 45-plus years of talent intelligence and behavioral science and a large study of millions of data points, Sara introduces a skills model built on four factors – AI literacy, analytical thinking, continuous learning, and AI promotion – that together define who is truly ready to become a superworker – any employee who uses AI to elevate their work to create more impact and have more meaningful work. The conversation is full of grounding data. Across more than one million assessments, SHL found that graduates and early career workers know how to use AI tools but not necessarily how to use them well, while seasoned professionals show strong contextual judgment but struggle to reimagine solutions from scratch. Neither generation arrives superworker-ready and each needs help to develop the superworker readiness. And it's not technical skills that differentiate superworkers from the rest. Powerskills – those durable human skills, like adaptability, critical thinking, and learning orientation – predict who will thrive as AI reshapes every role, and every worker can develop them. The proof is in a real case: a media and telecommunications company used SHL's AI readiness model to de-risk an AI transformation. Enthusiasm for AI was high, but gaps in applying it responsibly – using guardrails, exercising judgment on outputs – were putting success at risk. The assessment gave leaders something they rarely have: a data-backed, actionable development plan to help all employees thrive. Employees welcomed the personalized recommendations. The lesson, as Sara puts it, is that leaders must frame the assessment not as evaluative but as developmental and supportive – because with 70% of employees not trusting that their employer knows how to use AI responsibly, trust is the whole game.

Andy Burnham, the former mayor of Greater Manchester and new leader of the Labour Party, took the final steps on Monday to succeed Keir Starmer and become the UK's seventh prime minister in a decade.The Department of War on Monday identified two U.S. soldiers who were killed in Iranian strikes in Jordan. First Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, were killed during Friday's attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on American military deaths in the Iran war.

Colonel Jeff McCausland describes how, on the morning of July 1, 1863, Union General John Buford's cavalry identifies Confederate infantry advancing from the west toward the vital crossroads of Gettysburg. Recognizing the critical nature of the terrain, Buford deploys his men on McPherson's Ridge and Oak Hill to delay the advance, sending an urgent request to General John Reynolds for infantry support. The "speed of trust" between the two commanders facilitates a rapid Union response, but tragedy strikes when General Reynolds is killed by a Confederate marksman while directing troops near Herbst Woods. Command devolves to Abner Doubleday and later General Howard as the Union line collapses under pressure from General Richard Ewell's forces arriving from the north. Despite the breakthrough, Ewell famously hesitates to seize the high ground at Culp's Hill and Cemetery Hill as ordered by Robert E. Lee, a pivotal decision on the first day. (1)1863

Joel Kotkin examines the definition of fascism, arguing that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is not a fascist because she respects democratic norms.

(8) James Tabor concludes by examining the "Q Source," a collection of Jesus' teachings found in Matthew and Luke. He identifies a shared theological tradition among John the Baptist, Jesus, and James, characterized by values like non-violence and the "kingdom within." Tabor posits that Mary, as the family's matriarch, was the primary source of these core values. By stripping away later theological layers that "angelized" her, he seeks to honor the historical Mary as a powerful Jewish mother who shaped the spiritual foundation of the entire movement.1898 RANMALLAH

Jeremy Zakis reports on an unusually early and severe cold snap hitting the eastern seaboard of Australia, which he identifies as the arrival of El Niño. The "arctic blast" arrived over a month earlier than expected, bringing frost even to sea-level areas like Sydney and temperatures near zero degrees Celsius in elevated regions like Canberra. Jeremy notes that while the cold makes roads slippery, local birds are adapting rather than migrating; they "puff up" their feathers to conserve heat and stay still in the trees to avoid the freezing air. Unlike extreme heat, this cold has not yet caused bird fatalities. (1/4)1900 QUEENSLAND
