With Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelIngo Hofmaier, CFO of LIfezone MetalsRecording date: 30th July 2026Indonesia has fundamentally shifted its nickel strategy—from flooding global markets to actively managing supply through royalties, quotas, and pricing formulas since late 2025. Executives from Canada Nickel and Lifezone Metals describe this as a structural change, not a temporary adjustment. They argue that the era of nickel priced under $15,000 per tonne is over, with $18,000–$19,000 now representing Indonesia's break-even and preferred operating range.Physical supply constraints are compounding policy-driven discipline. Indonesian ore grades fell about 8% last year and are expected to drop another 4–5% this year. Meanwhile, mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) production has slumped roughly 37% from its September 2025 peak, largely due to sulphur import bottlenecks tied to geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.On the demand side, the market continues to overemphasize electric vehicle batteries while underestimating stainless steel, which accounts for the bulk of nickel consumption and is growing steadily at 4.6–4.8% annually. Both executives contend that consensus forecasts around 3% annual demand growth lag real trends, which have averaged nearly 7% since 2019.Canada Nickel's Crawford project in Ontario recently secured a federal Decision Statement, clearing its final major regulatory hurdle. The company now focuses on closing the last 10–20% of its financing package, with a construction decision targeted for 2027. Strategic investors include Anglo American, Agnico Eagle, Samsung SDI, and the Taykwa Tagamou Nation.Lifezone Metals is advancing its high-grade Kabanga project in Tanzania, where nickel grades exceed 2%, supported by copper, cobalt, and silver byproducts. With over $800 million of its $930 million capex already tendered and $37 million in cash on hand, Lifezone seeks to finalize equity financing ahead of a Final Investment Decision. Construction could begin within two to three years thereafter.Together, these developments signal a tighter, more disciplined nickel market—one where Western sulphide projects may finally find viable economic footing.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Dibawakan oleh Karolina dan Agustinus dari Paroki Kristus Raja Bajiro Yogyakarta di Keuskupan Agung Semarang, Indonesia. Yeremia 28: 1-17; Mazmur tg 119: 29.43.79.80.95.102; Matius 14: 22-36.TUHAN YANG DITAKUTI, BUKAN HANTU                                       Tema renungan kita pada hari ini ialah: Tuhan yang Ditakuti, Bukan Hantu.Di dalam masa kesulitan ekonomi lantara musim panas dan kering yang panjang,doa seorang petani dan keluarganya ialah begini: "Ya Tuhan, jangan biarkankami lapar dan haus." Rumusan doa itu disebarkan ke group Whatsapp diParoki, sehingga dalam waktu dekat sudah sekian banyak keluarga petani berdoademikian. Tuhan mendengar doa-doa mereka, sehingga tampaknya di masa yang sulititu para petani tidak kehabisan sumber makanan yang didapatkan dari lahangarapan mereka.                                                             Di dalam kitab suci perjanjian lama dikisahkan bagaimana umat Allah yangmengembara di padang gurun sering mengalami kelaparan karena ketiadaan makanan.Karena itu Tuhan menyediakan mereka manna dan daging, meski tidak cukupmemuaskan mereka. Mereka tetap saja mengeluh dan protes karena hidup sebagaipengembara memang penuh kesulitan dan penderitaan. Yesus Kristus jatuh kasihan pada banyak sekali orang yang mengikuti danmendengarkan Dia. Ia sangat memberikan perhatian kepada semua orang yang sedangmengalami kesulitan, tidak hanya mereka yang lapar dan haus, tetapi semuakebutuhan hidup baik jasmani maupun rohani. Salah satu kebutuhan rohani ituialah rasa takut, yang harus diatasi dengan rasa damai, tenang dan penuhkepercayaan kepada Tuhan dan diri kita sebagai orang-orang beriman.  Pada umumnya, orang-orang menjadi kawatir, ragu, takut, dan tidak percayaketika cobaan dan kesulitan datang menimpa mereka. Di dalam Injil hari ini,dikisahkan bahwa para rasul berada di dalam perahu yang diganggu oleh anginkencang dan gelombang yang ganas. Dalam keadaan yang sulit seperti itu Tuhandatang untuk membantu mereka. Mereka menjadi takut karena menyangka bahwa ituadalah hantu. Umat Israel yang sudah sekian lamanya hidup dalam pembuangan,didatangi oleh suatu kabar yang membuat kaget, yaitu pembebasan dan kembalinyamereka ke tanah airnya.  Rasa takut manusia kepada Tuhan merupakan suatu tanda ia beriman denganbenar. Tuhan datang untuk memperhatikan dan menyelamatkan, sehingga ketakutanini sangat berguna untuk membantu kita agar kita bersiap diri dengansebaik-baiknya, sehingga Ia menemukan kita dalam keadaan beriman yang benar,bersiap untuk menyambut-Nya, dan sedang tekun dalam tugas-tugas kita. Ketakutanseperti ini sangat bertentangan dengan jenis ketakutan kepada pihak lain yangbukan Tuhan, seperti hantu, setan, dan pengaruh lain yang hanya bermaksud untukmengganggu dan mencobai kita. Untuk kehidupan iman yang sesungguhnya dankeselamatan, kita harus takut kepada Tuhan, bukan hantu. Tuhan ada bersama kitauntuk menolong kita, sedangkan hantu tidak. Marilah kita berdoa.Dalam nama Bapa... Di dalam kasih dan kemurahan-Mu, ya Bapa, kami ingin menaruhsegala keperluan kami, khususnya pada hari ini, supaya kami dapat menerimaberkat-berkat-Mu dalam sepanjang hari ini. Kemuliaan kepada Bapa dan Putra danRoh Kudus ... Dalam nama Bapa ...

Delivered by Elyanne from the Parish of Saint James in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Jeremiah 28: 1-17; Rs psalm 119: 29.43.79.80.95.102; Matthew 14: 22-36.GOD IS TO BE FEARED OF, NOT GHOSTS The theme for our meditation today is: God is to be Fearedof, not Ghost. During a time of economic hardship due to a long dry season, afarmer and his family prayed in these words: "O Lord, do not let us gohungry or thirsty." This prayer was shared on a WhatsApp group in the localparish community, and soon many farmers and their families were saying the sameprayer. God heard their prayers, and it seemed that even during this difficulttime, the farmers did not run out of food from their fields.  In the Old Testament of the Holy Scriptures, it is saidhow God's people who wandered in the desert often experienced hunger becausefood was not enough. Therefore, God provided them manna and meat, even though itwas not enough to satisfy them. They still complained and protested becauselife as a wanderer in the desert was full with difficulties and sufferings. Jesus Christ fell pity over many people who followedand heard Him along the way of His public ministry. He was so moved with pity forall those who were experiencing difficulties, not only those who were hungryand thirsty, but all the problems both physical and spiritual of people of Histime. One of those problems which was spiritual in nature is fear. This fearmust be overcome with a life of peace, calmness and trust in God as well as inourselves as believers. In general, people become worried, doubtful, afraid,and distrustful when trials and difficulties come upon them. In today's Gospel,we are told that the apostles were in a boat and they were so disturbed bystrong winds and violent waves. In such difficult circumstance the Lord came tohelp them. They became afraid because they thought that it was a ghost. Inanother occasion, the people of Israel who had lived for a long time in exile,were visited by a shocking news that caused fear, namely their freedom and thepossibility to return to their homeland. A man's fear of God is a sign that he has a truefaith. God always comes to our favors and He certainly saves us. Therefore,this fear is useful to help us prepare ourselves as best as we can, so that Hefinds us in a state of true faith, we are prepared to welcome Him, and we areactive in our daily undertakings. Such fear is very contrary to the type offear towards others who are not God such as ghosts, demons, and other subjectsthat only intend to disturb and tempt us. For us Christian and our journey ofsalvation, we must fear God, not ghosts. God is with us to help us, whereasghosts do not. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... In Your love and mercy, O Father, we wishto put all our needs, especially today, so that we can receive Your blessingsthroughout this day. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit... In the name of the Father ...

The eighth and final episode in a series on the history of Indonesia: a hinge in the world system where colonialism and revolution have decisively shaped the trajectory of global history. This last installment picks up with the 2014 election of Joko Widodo, or Jokowi, to the presidency. That promise was soon betrayed, laying the groundwork for the rise of Prabowo Subianto, a scion of Suharto who represents nearly everything repugnant about the New Order regime. And yet Prabowo's rule remains beset by contradiction and controversy — and Indonesia's political future remains uncertain. Featuring Rianne Subijanto, Made Supriatma, Iqra Anugrah, and Farabi Fakih.

A thousand years ago, in the city of Samarqand, a scholar by the name of Abu al-Layth gave lessons about how to live a good life—a life that was pleasing both to God and to people. He dealt with almost every aspect of life, from how to greet people and how to eat, to how to study and debate. What's more, Abu al-Layth also explained why, linking lessons on manners to clear moral principles laid out in the Quran and the life of the Prophet. At some point, Abu al-Layth's students compiled these teachings into a book called Bustan al-‘Arifin (‘The Garden of the Knowledgeable'). Over the passing of time, its reputation grew and grew, seeing copies and translations being made from the Ottoman Empire to Aceh in what is today Indonesia. And now the book is finally available in English too. Nile Green talks to Peri Bearman, translator of A Guide to a Life of Moral Integrity: An Annotated Translation of Bustān al-ʿārifīn by Abū al-Layth al-Samarqandī (Georgias Press, 2025).

There aren't many people who can say that they have learned their hard-won leadership lessons through the experience of steering an educational transformation across a whole country, let alone a country made up of nearly 300 million people across 17,000 islands! My guest in this episode, Dr. Iwan Syahril, has taken the time and care to reflect on some of these lessons in his fantastic new book, ‘Students, Students, Students!: The Human Journey in Leadership and System Transformation'. But he was also kind enough to join me to reflect on it on the podcast this week. As Iwan argues, the only way to align a massive, complex educational system transformation is a clear, simple purpose and to move away from bureaucratic jargon and complex policies to focus relentlessly on the child. And then for that transformation to be sustainable, it must be rooted in a society's own values rather than imported models. For Indonesia, that meant drawing on the philosophy of Ki Hajar Dewantara and the spirit of gotong royong (mutual cooperation). Iwan is a global leader shaping the future of human-centered education in the age of AI. An authority on leading change at scale, he advises global organizations and governments on building resilient, future- ready systems. His expertise is grounded in his tenure as Director General at Indonesia's Ministry of Education, where he architected the Merdeka Belajar reforms, digitally empowering 3.3 million teachers and improving outcomes for 53 million students. A former Chair of the G20 Education Working Group, his strategic vision is informed by frontline experience teaching in Indonesia, the US, and Canada, and his leadership as Dean of Education at Sampoerna University. He holds graduate degrees from Columbia University, a dual PhD and Honorary Doctorate from Michigan State University, and a fellowship from HP-Cambridge. His work now sits at the frontier of policy, practice, and technology, helping education systems move faster, fairer, and with greater resilience. In his book, Students, Students, Students!: The Human Journey in Leadership and System Transformation, he outlines many of the powerful principles for leading complex change.Iwan's wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwan_Syahril Iwan's website: https://sites.google.com/view/studentsstudentsstudents/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iwan.syahril/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iwansyahril

Delivered by Christine Gunawan from the Parish of Saint Joseph Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Pontianak, Indonesia. Isaiah 55: 1-3; Rs psalm 145: 8-9.15-16.17-18; Romans 8: 35.37-39; Matthew 14: 13-21.OUR DUTY IS TO SHARE The theme for our meditation on this 18thSunday in Ordinary Time is: Our Duty is to Share. There was a 12-year-old boywho was given an apple brought by his parents from abroad. The mother asked himto give some of it to his 9 years old sister. Before doing that, he first askedhis mother as he said: "Mommy, should I share it with her, or give it toher?" The mother was somehow confused by her son's question. So the son explained himself. He said that if he wouldshare the apple he must divide it into two, either the same sizes for himselfand his younger sister or not. Meanwhile, if he would give that apple, it wouldthat there was a possibility to give it all, or not give it at all. The motherwas so proud of her boy's way of thinking. Together with the mother, we all canappreciate and agree with the view of that boy. We all believe that it is truly our responsibility orduty to share the gifts that we have. God has the power and ability to give uswhat is appropriate and sufficient to each of our circumstance and vocation. Forour part, we are not supposed to bother ourselves in giving and try our hardestway to give and satisfy others, for we need only enough kindness and generosityto share what we already have by the grace of God. This kind of conviction is very important for us thefollowers of Christ and the mission we intend to do. The Lord's gift is enoughfor every one to be able to live out one's life in this world. Saint Paul saysin his letter to the Romans that this gift manifests its fulness in the love ofChrist for us. The book of the prophet Isaiah in the first reading todayconfirms the same thing, namely the gift of eternal covenant between God and usis realized in a true love of Jesus Christ, which had been promised long ago asthe Lord already did for David. By realizing that we have these gifts, we should beconfident and willing to share them to our neighbors. Even though perhaps weonly have a very little quantity and quality like those of five loaves and twofish, as the Gospel reading of  todaynarates, we are certainly willing to share them. Whether the little we share issufficient both for ourselves and others, it is by the power of God's love thatwe are willing to give. It is the work of God who provides and gives. God'swill and power make our little and hard work possible. God is pleased to multiply it when we have the spiritof love, joy, and willingness to share. With or without our expectation, themiracles of God happen. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... Almighty and powerful God, strengthen ourzeal to be active and glad in sharing our gifts to our neighbours, and for allthese, may we be always thankful. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the nameof the Father ...

This is in Cambodia when kids are seeing water come out of the ground for the first time in their lives. Also in Cambodia.这是在柬埔寨，孩子们有生以来第一次看到水从地下冒出来。这还是在柬埔寨。This is in Indonesia where women who were watching their kids suffer from malnutrition.这是在印度尼西亚，妇女眼睁睁看着自己的孩子饱受营养不良之苦。These are salt workers which is one of the toughest jobs and it mostly is done by young girls and women.这些是盐工，这是最艰苦的工作之一，主要由年轻女孩和妇女完成。And I was with them, you know, with a health organization because the salt takes a terrible toll on their little bodies.我当时和她们在一起，和一个健康组织一起，因为盐对他们幼小的身体造成了严重的伤害。Annie Griffiths has thousands of photographs she has taken all around the world, one of the first female photographers at the famous national Geographic magazine.安妮·格里菲思在世界各地拍摄了数千张照片，是著名的《国家地理》杂志首批女摄影师之一。In the span of 45 years, she has traveled to over 150 countries and all seven continents.在45年的时间里，她去过150多个国家，足迹遍布七大洲。I've always felt that being a woman was an advantage in my job, both initially getting into photo journalism, and then recognizing that I had half the world pretty much to myself.我一直觉得，作为女性在我的工作中是一种优势，无论是最初进入新闻摄影领域，还是后来意识到我几乎独享了半个世界。I spent about five years doing projects in the Middle East, and many parts of the Middle East and many aspects of their culture are gender separate.我花了大约五年时间在中东做项目，中东的许多地区及其文化的许多方面都是性别分离的。I think that is judged often by the western world, but there again is an opportunity to actually look at it from the women's point of view.我认为西方世界常常对此作出评判，但实际上这也是一个从女性视角去看待它的机会。The women caught by Griffiths' camera survived natural disasters and migrations, discrimination, war, epidemics and famine.格里菲斯镜头捕捉到的这些女性经历了自然灾害、迁徙、歧视、战争、流行病和饥荒后幸存了下来。But she says despite it all, they keep the traditions alive, raise children,grieveand just leave.但她说，尽管经历了这一切，他们依然让传统得以延续，养育子女，承受悲伤，然后悄然离去。So the stories I focus on are where women have found solutions.我关注的故事是女性找到解决办法的地方。It's usually because they come together as a group, and as a group they figure out how to do something better.通常是因为他们以团队形式聚集在一起，并且作为一个团队，他们共同想出如何把事情做得更好。They're the ones planting millions of trees. They're the ones who are you know staying till the last minute after the men leave, and then shepherding their children and sometimes their parents.她们种植了数百万棵树。她们会在男人离开后，一直坚守到最后一刻，照顾她们的孩子，有时也照顾她们的父母。She believes women don't like being victims, and remain hopeful in the grimmest of circumstances.她认为女性不喜欢成为受害者，并且在最严峻的情况下仍保持着希望。And that was the reason why Griffiths decided to found the charity projectRippleEffect Images that founds programs for women in developing countries.这就是格里菲思决定创办慈善项目“RippleEffect Images”的原因，该项目旨在为发展中国家的女性设立各类援助计划。The idea came to her nine years ago when Griffiths saw the data from the United States Agency for International Development on humanitarian aid.九年前，当格里菲思看到美国国际开发署有关人道主义援助的数据时，这个想法便在她脑海中萌生了。Two cents out of every American aid dollar went to programs for women, so 98 went to men's programs.每1美元美国援助资金中，只有2美分用于女性项目，其余98美分则用于男性项目。So I literally called my girl friends who are some of the best photographers in the world, and said, "Look, why don't we learn from the women we observe in the wider world?"我打电话给我那些身为世界顶级摄影师的女性朋友们，然后说：“我们为什么不从在更广阔世界中观察到的女性身上学习呢？”They reported raising over 10 million dollars just in those first six years. So it works you know when you humanize a situation.她们报告说仅仅在最初的六年里就筹集了超过1000万美元。当你将情况人性化处理时，这是行得通的。So you don't talk about the women of Morocco. You show a woman from Morocco and you see the light in her eyes.你不用去谈论摩洛哥的女性，你只要展示一位摩洛哥女性，然后你就能看到她眼中的光芒。But work is not all Griffiths focuses on. She is the mother of two children, and from the very start she promised herself to never part with them for more than two weeks.但工作并非格里菲斯生活的全部。她已是两个孩子的母亲，从最初她就向自己承诺，绝不与孩子们分开超过两周。Most of her work trips with National Geographic lasted at least three months.她在《国家地理》工作时的大部分行程至少持续了三个月。So like their mother, Griffiths's children saw dozens of countries and met thousands of people.像他们的母亲一样，格里菲思的孩子们游览了几十个国家，结识了成千上万的人。I've been traveling with my mom since I was just in her belly, so we've picked up a few stories over the years.从我还在妈妈肚子里的时候起，我就和她一起旅行了，这些年来我们积累了不少故事。We've been to some really remarkable places, feel real highlights over the years.这些年来，我们去过一些非常了不起的地方，真切地感受到了那些精彩时刻。I think that the Middle East is always gonna be really special to me.我觉得中东对我来说永远都会非常特别。In 2008, Griffiths published a book of photo memoirs called A Camera, Two Kids and a Camel that focused on how to reach harmony between work, family and the whole wide world.2008年，格里菲思出版了一本名为A Camera, Two Kids and a Camel的摄影回忆录，该书聚焦于如何在工作、家庭和整个世界之间达成和谐。

Dibawakan oleh Kristina dan Agustinus dari Paroki Kristus Raja Bajiro Yogyakarta di Keuskupan Agung Semarang, Indonesia. Yesaya 55: 1-3; Mazmur tg 145: 8-9.15-16.17-18; Roma 8: 35.37-39; Matius 14: 13-21.TUGAS KITA IALAH BERBAGI Tema renungan kita pada hari Minggu Biasa ke-18 ini ialah: Tugas Kita IalahBerbagi. Ada seorang anak laki-laki berusia 12 tahun diberikan sebuah apel yangdibawa orang tuanya dari luar negeri. Ibu meminta dia untuk memberikan sebagiankepada adiknya perempuan yang berusia 9 tahun. Sebelum melakukan itu, iabertanya dahulu kepada ibunya: "Ma, sebaiknya aku bagi sama adik, atauberikan adik apel ini?"  Ibunya agakbingung dengan pertanyaan anaknya itu. Maka anak itu menjelaskan kepada ibunya, bahwa kalau ia membagi apel itumaka ia akan membagikannya menjadi dua bagian, bisa sama besar atau tidak samabesar bagian-bagiannya untuk dirinya dan untuk adiknya. Sedangkan kalau iamemberikan apel itu, berarti ada kemungkinan ia dapat memberikan semuanya, atautidak memberikan sama sekali. Ibu sangat bangga dengan kemampuan berpikiranaknya tersebut. Bersama ibu tersebut, kita semua dapat memberikan apresiasidan persetujuan kita kepada bocah laki-laki tersebut. Ada sebagian dari kita memiliki keyakinan sebagai dasar perbuatan kasihkepada orang lain, yaitu tanggung jawab atau tugas kita untuk berbagikarunia-karunia yang ada pada kita. Tuhan yang mempunyai kekuasaan dankemampuan untuk memberikan kita yang pantas dan tepat sesuai dengan keadaan danpanggilan kita masing-masing. Bagi kita, sesungguhnya kita  tidak perlu merepotkan diri untuk memberi danberusaha sekuat tenaga untuk memberi, tetapi kita perlu cukup kebaikan dankemurahan hati untuk berbagi yang sudah kita miliki. Keyakinan seperti ini sangatlah penting karena hal ini sejalan denganperutusan kita sebagai para pengikut Kristus. Karunia dari Tuhan bagi kitaadalah cukup kepada setiap orang untuk dapat menjalani hidupnya di dalam duniaini. Santo Paulus berkata di dalam suratnya kepada jemaat di Roma, bahwakarunia itu berwujud dalam kasih Kristus kepada kita. Kitab nabi Yesaya dalambacaan pertama hari ini menegaskan hal yang sama, yaitu karunia perjanjianabadi antara Tuhan dengan kita berwujud dalam kasih setia yang teguh, yangtelah dijanjikan sejak dahulu seperti yang dilakukan-Nya kepada Daud. Dengan menyadari bahwa kita memiliki karunia-karunia tersebut, kitahendaknya percaya diri untuk dapat membagikannya. Meskipun yang ada pada kitahanya sedikit seperti lima roti dan dua ikan, yang dikisahkan di dalam Injilpada hari ini, kita tentu rela untuk membagikannya. Persoalan apakah mencukupikita sendiri dan orang lain jika yang sedikit itu dibagi-bagikan, hal ituadalah pekerjaan-Nya Tuhan yang memberikan. Tuhan berkuasa melakukannya. Tuhan berkenan melipatgandakan itu ketika kita memiliki semangat kasih,suka cita, dan rela untuk berbagi, sehingga tanpa kita duga, keajaiban ataumujizat terjadi. Marilah kita berdoa.Dalam nama Bapa ...

Independent publishing might seem like a small element of Indonesia's cultural landscape: limited print runs, niche books, and audiences that rarely extend into the mainstream. Yet these spaces can matter precisely because they make room for voices, ideas, and forms of cultural expression that have little place elsewhere. This matters in Indonesia today, where civic space is increasingly constrained and marginalised communities, including queer people, face growing stigma, scapegoating, and political hostility. In this context, publishing becomes not only about circulating books but a way of sustaining communities, and creating spaces where people can think, disagree, and imagine different forms of social and political relations. In this episode of Talking Indonesia, Dr Clara Siagian speaks with Syarafina, co-founder and commissioning editor of Cahyati Press, an independent publishing practice based in Bali. Cahyati publishes books, zines, and artist books by writers, poets, artists, and researchers, particularly queer, working-class, and BIPOC voices that are often overlooked by mainstream publishing. Syarafina reflects on her twelve-year journey through independent publishing and on why Cahyati Press came into being. For her, independent publishing is less about size than editorial freedom to publish work because it matters, even when it defies common literary classification or when it is not commercially viable. That freedom takes on particular significance when we talk about queer publishing. As LGBTQ+ people in Indonesia face increasing stigma and political scapegoating, Syarafina argues for the importance of documenting queer lives in all their complexity. This means communicating not only stories of violence and survival, but also stories of friendship, family, work, migration, desire, boredom and joy. Publishing, in this sense, can be a quiet form of resistance which encompasses preserving stories, creating memory, and allowing people to recognise that they are not alone. The conversation also takes us beyond Indonesia. Cahyati Press is part of a growing international network of independent publishers, artists, writers, booksellers and cultural organisers across Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe and beyond. Rather than seeing Indonesia simply as a place where international researchers and artists come to study or work, this network points to Indonesia as a place from which connections are being forged, and cultural conversations are being shaped. Finally, we discuss what independent publishing might offer academics: an opportunity to experiment with shapes, audiences and methods, and to imagine forms of knowledge production beyond the rigid conventions of academic publishing. In 2026, Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University, Dr Clara Siagian from University College London, Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales, Dr Jemma Purdey from the Australia-Indonesia Centre, and Tito Ambyo from RMIT.

Have you ever felt an unexplainable pull towards a place, only to discover it was awakening a completely new version of yourself?In this episode of The Sacred Travel Podcast, Julia sits down with Carolin Föll, founder of ELLELIZA Coaching & Consulting and creator of ELUMINA, a transformational retreat experience in Lombok, Indonesia. Together they explore how Lombok and other islands become catalysts for expansion, why true leadership begins with the nervous system rather than relentless striving, and how the frequency of Lombok invites ambitious women to embody greater success, visibility, and impact—without losing themselves in the process.

Indonesia is rapidly emerging as a serious contender in global toy manufacturing, driven by its huge workforce, competitive labour costs, and a fast‑maturing industrial base. While many in the toy business still view Indonesia through the lens of Java and domestic consumption, the country now offers export‑ready capabilities that mirror what modern toy brands need — especially for electronic, interactive, and connected products. With rising wages in China and brands pushing for diversified "China + 1" strategies, Indonesia's manufacturing evolution is becoming impossible to ignore. Within this landscape, Batam stands out as Indonesia's most advanced electronics export‑manufacturing hub — a unique island‑wide Free Trade Zone just 20km from Singapore, built on three decades of electronics production. In this episode, Steve speaks with Chrispin from Tunas Prima Industrial Estate - https://tunasindustrial.com/en/ - who explains how Batam's deep ecosystem of PCB assembly, battery integration, plastics, finishing, and box‑build makes it a natural fit for toy brands. Add in Disney‑certified factories, a young labour pool, seamless Singapore logistics, and ready‑to‑use industrial infrastructure, and Batam becomes one of the most compelling new manufacturing bases for global toy companies exploring Indonesia for the first time.    

Gold standard PBL isn't a fun project with a poster at the end. Lisa Mireles of PBLWorks explains what a real project based learning classroom looks and sounds like — and how to teach it without falling behind on standards. Lisa Mireles, Ed.D., is Managing Director of Digital Curriculum at PBLWorks (formerly the Buck Institute for Education). She's taught bilingual students in California, led schools in Indonesia and India, served as an IB coordinator, principal, and assistant superintendent, and was named HIDOE Kaua'i Complex Educational Officer of the Year in 2018. In this episode, you'll learn: • What the Gold Standard framework actually contains — seven essential project design elements plus seven project based teaching practices — and why a great project still fails without the teaching moves • What you see and hear in a gold standard PBL classroom: a productive buzz, a project wall with the driving question and milestones, students returning to their need-to-knows, teachers coaching instead of lecturing • Concrete projects outside business and computer science: designing a community microgrid in high school science, designing a custom diamond in middle school geometry, and a second grade community heroes gallery • How PBL turns literacy into an all-day practice — reading, writing, speaking, and listening — rather than something that only happens during the literacy block • Lisa's answer to the time squeeze: coverage isn't enough, and going deeper on power standards teaches more than racing through everything • The principal move worth stealing — have teachers mark what they planned to teach, then revisit after the project to mark what they actually taught deeply. It's always about twice as much. • Where to find more than 100 free project ideas, searchable by grade and subject, that scale up or down for your students Full show notes, resources, and the complete transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e958  If this episode gave you something you can use, take a second to leave a rating or review wherever you're listening. It helps other teachers find the show. And if a colleague is on the fence about project based learning, send this one their way.

With the 2026 summer travel season now at its peak, China's tourism market continues to sizzle, with record-breaking passenger flows and shifting preferences reshaping the holiday landscape, according to travel agencies.各大旅行社表示，2026年暑期旅游正值旺季峰值，国内文旅市场热度持续高涨，出行人次创下新高，游客偏好不断转变，重塑了假日出行格局。Travel booking platforms are reporting strong growth. Tuniu, an online travel agency, said bookings for summer tourism products had risen 17 percent year-on-year as of late July, with domestic travel bookings up more than 20 percent. On online travel platform Qunar, summer car rental bookings have increased by nearly 60 percent year-on-year.旅游预订平台订单量大幅攀升。在线旅游服务商途牛数据显示，截至7月下旬，暑期旅游产品预订量同比上涨17%，其中国内游预订涨幅超20%；去哪儿平台暑期租车订单同比增长近60%。To further stimulate summer consumption, more than 450 million yuan ($66 million) in travel vouchers will be distributed nationwide this summer, according to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.文化和旅游部称，今年夏季全国将发放总额超4.5亿元（折合6600万美元）文旅消费券，进一步拉动暑期消费。More than 30,000 culture and tourism consumption events will also be held across the country. Local authorities will expand the supply of high-quality tourism and cultural offerings, including summer retreats, coastal vacations, nighttime tourism, cruises and yachting, family trips, study tours, culinary experiences and museum visits, the ministry said.全国各地还将举办三万余场文旅消费活动。文旅部介绍，各地持续丰富优质文旅产品供给，涵盖避暑休闲、滨海度假、夜间文旅、邮轮游艇、亲子家庭游、研学旅行、美食体验、博物馆游览等多种业态。Family travel remains the dominant force in the summer tourism market. Parents and kids account for over 60 percent of summer travelers on Tuniu and 45 percent on Qunar. According to Qunar, the top family travel destinations this summer are Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu in Sichuan province, Kunming in Yunnan province and Guangzhou in Guangdong province.亲子家庭游依旧是暑期旅游市场主力军。途牛平台暑期亲子游客占比超60%，去哪儿平台该比例达45%。去哪儿数据显示，今夏热门亲子目的地依次为上海、北京、四川成都、云南昆明以及广东广州。Family travel itself is also evolving. Gone are the days when parents planned trips entirely around their children's needs. This summer, as more people born after 1995 become parents, an "everyone has a good time" approach to family vacations is becoming increasingly popular, according to Qunar.亲子游模式也在不断迭代。过去父母一切围绕孩子需求规划行程的时代已然过去。去哪儿平台表示，随着大批95后步入父母行列，兼顾全家游玩体验、人人都能收获快乐的度假理念愈发流行。Hotels are adapting to the trend by offering childcare services and children's clubs. On Qunar, searches for hotels with childcare services and children's programs rose 40 percent month-on-month. The five most popular search criteria for family-friendly hotels are swimming pools, children's clubs, washing machines, refrigerators and child safety facilities.各大酒店顺应趋势，纷纷推出托管服务、儿童乐园。去哪儿平台上，带有育儿服务、儿童游乐项目的酒店搜索量环比上涨40%；亲子酒店五大热门筛选条件为：泳池、儿童俱乐部、洗衣机、冰箱、儿童安全设施。Yan Yun, a resident of Wuhan, Hubei province, in her 30s, is traveling with her 5-year-old daughter and her brother's family — five people in all — on a nine-day road trip from Shenyang and Dalian in Liaoning province to Yantai, Shandong province, from July 25 to Aug 2.湖北武汉30多岁市民严芸，带着5岁女儿以及哥哥一家，共计五人，开启了9天自驾之旅：7月25日至8月2日，从辽宁沈阳、大连一路前往山东烟台。Still on the road and renting a car for the entire trip, Yan said the journey has been highly enjoyable.全程租车自驾、旅途仍在继续的严芸坦言，这次出行体验十分美好。She said traveling with children slows the pace and requires more negotiation, making the itinerary less predictable.她说道，带孩子出游行程节奏会放缓，凡事需要互相商量，旅途计划不会一成不变。Despite the slower pace, she described the journey as a unique and rewarding experience for the whole family.虽说行程节奏舒缓，但她认为这场旅行给全家人带来了独一无二、充实美好的收获。The growing demand for richer travel experiences has become another defining feature of this summer's tourism market. Tuniu said users are increasingly seeking in-depth and experiential travel, driven by sustained demand for emotional value and experience-based consumption.游客对沉浸式深度体验的需求攀升，是今夏文旅市场另一大鲜明特点。途牛表示，受情感价值需求与体验式消费热潮带动，游客愈发偏爱深度体验游。Li Pengbo, Communist Party of China secretary of the School of Tourism Sciences at Beijing International Studies University and a professor at the school, said the shift reflects a fundamental change in consumer values.北京第二外国语学院旅游科学学院党委书记、教授李朋波表示，这种出游偏好转变，本质上是大众消费观念的更迭。"In the era of 'check-in tourism', when travel opportunities were relatively scarce, simply having been somewhere was valuable. Photos served as proof, and social media posts announced the experience.“打卡旅游盛行的年代，出游机会有限，只要抵达过某地就极具意义；拍照留存当作凭证，再发到社交平台分享，便是旅行的全部意义。”"Today, as travel becomes more routine, the marginal value of simply having been somewhere has plummeted. How did you travel? What did you feel? Do you have a story to tell? These have become the new value anchors," Li said.李教授讲道：“如今旅行早已常态化，单纯到此一游的边际价值大幅下降。人们更在意出行方式、内心感受、旅途故事，这些才是当下旅行新的价值核心。”That helps explain the rapid rise of experiences such as city walks, intangible cultural heritage workshops and local food tours, which offer stories to tell rather than simply places to show, he said.这也就能解释为何城市漫步、非遗手作体验、本地美食探访等项目迅速走红：这类旅行重在收获可讲述的旅途故事，而非单纯打卡景点。Summer also remains the peak season for both outbound and inbound travel. According to Qunar, the most popular outbound destinations include Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Indonesia and the United States. Thailand tops the list, with skill-learning trips — in which travelers learn activities such as cooking, yoga and Muay Thai — driving a 3.3-fold increase in hotel bookings in Chiang Mai.暑期同样是出入境旅游旺季。去哪儿数据显示，热门出境目的地有泰国、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡、中国香港、印度尼西亚、美国。泰国稳居榜首，厨艺、瑜伽、泰拳等技能研学旅行热度高涨，直接带动清迈酒店预订量暴涨3.3倍。Inbound tourism is also booming, with Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu among the most popular destinations.入境游市场同样蓬勃发展，上海、北京、广州、成都最受外籍游客青睐。By source market, the leading countries for inbound travelers this summer are Thailand, Canada, the US, the United Kingdom and Russia. Greek visitors to China increased 9.5 times year-on-year, the fastest growth among all source markets. Visitor numbers from Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Sweden, Finland and Mexico also more than doubled, according to Qunar.从客源国来看，今夏来华游客主要来自泰国、加拿大、美国、英国、俄罗斯。其中希腊来华游客同比暴涨9.5倍，涨幅位居所有客源市场首位；斯里兰卡、蒙古、瑞典、芬兰、墨西哥来华人数也均实现翻倍增长。surge /sɜːdʒ/激增，热潮sizzle /ˈsɪzl/热度高涨，火爆experiential /ɪkˌspɪəriˈenʃl/体验式的plummet /ˈplʌmɪt/暴跌，大幅下降intangible /ɪnˈtændʒəbl/无形的outbound /ˈaʊtbaʊnd/出境的；外出的

“The hard part isn't going global. It's staying operational once you're there.” Senior Retail Analyst Lavina Suthenthiran unpacks the newest Global Lens report in a new podcast series exploring the forces reshaping global retail. Over the coming weeks, she dives deeper into the data, case studies, and market dynamics behind one central conclusion: cross-border growth has shifted from a demand problem to an execution problem. In this episode, Jeremy Goldman joins Lavina to explore the major themes behind that conclusion, and how leading brands are learning from costly mistakes as they build for global growth. DEMAND IS ARRIVING FASTER THAN BRANDS CAN OPERATIONALIZE FOR IT: Discovery has never been easier. Between social platforms and AI, brands can suddenly see demand in markets they never planned to enter. The challenge now is whether brands will be ready on the backend when that demand appears. - Supporting data: ESW research found that 71% of Gen Z discovers products on social media, but only 6% want to complete the purchase there, indicating that discovery and conversion now happen in different places. CAPABILITY GAPS ARE DRIVING CROSS-BORDER FAILURE: When demand comes, brands need to be prepared to deliver. The problem is, most aren't. Failure tends to stem from fulfillment, checkout, planning, and execution weaknesses rather than a lack of appetite. - Supporting data: 7 in 10 cross-border expansions fail, and 7 in 10 failures trace back to a capability gap, not market readiness. LOCALIZATION IS STRUCTURAL, NOT COSMETIC: Local knowledge has to be present before decisions are approved, not after problems emerge. Localization is not just translation or surface-level cultural adaptation. It must shape decision-making, assortment, channels, and service design. Without that local knowledge, brands risk appearing out of touch or missing their audience entirely. DESIGN A GLOBAL OPERATING MODEL, NOT A MARKET-BY-MARKET IMPROVISATION: Fragmented, market-by-market operations eventually collapse. Sustainable international growth requires clear rules on what remains standardized versus what flexes locally. - Supporting data: Skull Footwear used organic demand data across 90+ countries to focus DTC expansion in India, Brazil, and Indonesia, instead of spreading everywhere at once. Listen above to the full discussion, including real-world cautionary tales and success strategies from leaders who have mastered global execution.

In this episode, I sit down with Mildred Pantouw, a public health and international development leader whose career has taken her from Indonesia to the United States, Guinea, and back to Indonesia.Mildred reflects on growing up between two cultures and how navigating life between Indonesia and the United States shaped her understanding of identity, community, and service. She shares how her faith, childhood experiences, and early curiosity about the wider world led her into public health and international development.We talk about her first experiences working in Guinea, the importance of listening before acting, and why trust and relationships matter more than any programme or intervention. We also explore the changing landscape of international development, the need to adapt as traditional donor models evolve, and the role that resilience and hope have played throughout her career.At the time of publication, Mildred serves as Vice CEO of the Center for Indonesia's Strategic Development Initiatives (CISDI), where she works on strengthening primary healthcare through partnerships involving academia, government, and the private sector.Recorded on 10 July 2026.Connect with Mildred on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/mildred-pantouw-77ba454.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

We sit down with Daniel Spencer, a long-time property investor who started in London and now helps clients invest internationally, to unpack what is actually happening on the ground and why Bali property keeps coming up in conversations about overseas real estate.We get specific about the numbers and the mechanics: lower entry prices (including studio apartments), the difference between gross and net rental yield, and why occupancy rate is the make-or-break metric for short-term rentals. Daniel also breaks Bali buyers into three clear groups, from people who visit and buy their first place, to families wanting a base that pays for itself, to pure investors funding off-plan villa communities and focusing on the exit. Along the way, we map Bali's key areas, explain where the “action” sits, and why the island's post-Covid demographic shift towards entrepreneurs, co-working, and wellness is shaping demand.Then we move into the questions everyone asks about property abroad: how the buying process works from the UK, when a local company structure may be needed, what role notaries and legal teams play, and how tax can differ depending on whether you buy a villa, an apartment, or a larger project. If you're researching Bali real estate, Indonesia property investment, or international property for UK dentists, this is a practical starting point for doing your own due diligence.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Directed by action maestro Kenji Tanigaki, The Furious delivers a non-stop, blood-soaked martial arts spectacle. The film follows Wang Wei (Xie Miao), a desperate father who goes on an absolute rampage to rescue his kidnapped daughter after local police turn a blind eye. His only ally is Navin (Joe Taslim)—a relentless journalist hunting for his own missing wife—leading an unlikely duo into an explosive showdown against a ruthless criminal syndicate featuring heavy-hitters like Yayan Ruhian and Jeeja Yanin.Fun Flix Fact: Director Kenji Tanigaki assembled an absolute dream-team "supergroup" of contemporary pan-Asian action talent, uniting stars from China, Indonesia, and Thailand to capture the high-kicking golden energy of classic Hong Kong cinema.Fun Flix Fact: Joe Taslim leaned heavily into his real-life competitive martial arts background—specifically utilizing his elite judo skills—to give his character's combat style a distinct, ground-based brutality that contrasts sharply with the film's flashier aerial acrobatics.To celebrate a major milestone in brutal, hallway-clearing action, we're looking back at Gareth Evans' The Raid: Redemption (2011). We break down how this Indonesian masterpiece completely redefined the modern action genre, turning a single apartment block into an unrelenting survival gauntlet.Fun Flix Fact: The film's legendary fight choreography was developed over months of intensive training by lead star Iko Uwais and co-star Yayan Ruhian (who also brings the pain in The Furious!), utilizing the traditional Indonesian martial art of Pencak Silat to create lightning-fast, hyper-realistic combat.Fun Flix Fact: Despite looking like a massive-budget Hollywood production, the film was shot on a relatively modest indie budget in a single, purpose-built multi-story set in Jakarta, where the sweltering indoor heat and physical intensity forced the cast and crew to undergo daily medical checkups.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters!

Pertengahan Juli 2026, Badan Energi Internasional merilis Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2026. Laporan itu mencatat, dalam 2 tahun terakhir, para perefinasi teratas, Indonesia untuk nikel dan Tiongkok untuk mineral energi lainnya, menyumbang lebih dari tiga perempat pertumbuhan pasokan olahan dunia. Untuk nikel, hampir seluruh pertumbuhan itu datang dari satu pemasok dominan: Indonesia.Direktur Eksekutif IEA Fatih Birol merangkum bahayanya dalam satu kalimat: nilai ekonomi yang sangat besar kini bergantung pada volume mineral yang kecil, dengan rantai pasok yang sangat terkonsentrasi dan karena itu rapuh.

Leopard sharks have nearly vanished from the waters in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. The country is one of the largest shark fishing nations in the world. Now, a first-of-its-kind conservation project is working to bring Indo-Pacific leopard sharks back from the brink of extinction. This international project hatches their eggs and raises shark pups to rewild them into the ocean where they once thrived. Will it be enough?For answers, we talk to freelance journalist Katerina Barton. She takes us behind-the-scenes to a shark nursery and shares what this conservation project could mean for other shark species.Interested in more conservation news?

Golden Gate Ventures is one of Southeast Asia’s most established early-stage venture firms, having backed companies across the region since 2011. They have invested in companies that are now household names in the region. Examples include Gojek, which started as a motorcycle taxi service in Indonesia and grew into a super app spanning payments, food delivery, and logistics, and Grab, which began as a ride-hailing service in Singapore and similarly expanded across Southeast Asia into food delivery and financial services. Jeffrey Paine is a co-founder and partner at Golden Gate Ventures. In this episode, Jeffrey joins Gregor Vand to discuss how the Southeast Asian startup ecosystem has evolved, why the regional copycat model is giving way to globally ambitious technical founders, what companies like Manus and Supabase reveal about Singapore’s emerging role in the global tech landscape, and what advice Jeffrey gives founders today who want to build something that matters beyond their home market.

How much work do you do to keep your household running smoothly? Figures suggest domestic work still falls mostly to women - leading to resentment and burnout. This week we're hearing from Indonesia and Croatia about projects helping change that. In rural Indonesia we visit the island of Rote - and hear how men there are overturning centuries-long attitudes to male and female roles and learning how to cook for their children and look after their homes.In Croatia we meet the men taking part in the ‘Superdads' programme where they discover that cleaning and doing chores brings them closer to their families. It's run by Status M – the only NGO in the country tackling gender-based violence by talking to men about masculinity.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We release a new edition every Tuesday. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions.
