Iofina PLC (AIM:IOF, OTC:IOFNF) CEO Dr Tom Becker speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the iodine producer confirmed that IO#9, launched in June 2023, is now successfully producing 100-150 metric tonnes annually after a period of running below capacity. Becker goes on to reveals plans for a tenth plant, leveraging lessons from IO9's slow start. This new plant, situated near IO#9 in western Oklahoma, is part of Iofina's ongoing expansion, with a potential launch in mid-to-late next year. The company aims to streamline processes and has made additional hires to facilitate this growth. He also addresses efforts to bolster sales and marketing efforts, which include hiring a senior sales and market manager. This role will enhance customer relationships and explore new specialty chemical products. Additionally, Iofina is conducting R&D and scaling up new product lines, with upcoming website enhancements to support marketing and communication. Regarding iodine prices, a crucial aspect for Iofina, Becker noted a slight decline from previous highs but expects stable prices around $65-$70 per kilo. The demand for iodine, particularly in injectable contrast agents, remains strong, suggesting continued high market prices, barring any major disruptions. #Iofina #TomBecker #ProactivInterview #IodineProduction #IO9 #ChemicalIndustry #SpecialtyChemicals #GrowthStrategy #IofinaExpansion #IodineMarket #IndustrialChemicals #BusinessInsights #CEOInterview #ChemicalManufacturing #MarketTrends #StrategicGrowth #IodinePrices #ChemicalSector #IndustryUpdate #BusinessDevelopment #ChemicalInnovation #CorporateStrategy #IofinaPLC #TomBeckerInterview #ChemicalIndustryNews #BusinessGrowth #IofinaUpdate #ChemicalBusiness #IodineDemand #IofinaProgress #ProactiveInvestors #Iofina #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Dan & Paul sit down with Linda Codega, the exceptional journalist at io9/Gizmodo who broke the story of WOTC planning to de-authorize the Open Game License that's been used for D&D-compatible and other games for over 20 years -- and subsequently forced a total surrender by WOTC on their sinister plans! How did Linda catch and produce this game-changing story? How does one balance journalism and activism? Will the D&D and indie gaming industry ever be the same? Linda Codega, for Io9 in January 2023, reported on the details from a leaked full copy of the OGL 1.1 including updated terms such as no longer authorizing use of the OGL1.0. Codega explained that while the original OGL granted a "perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license" it also included language around authorized versions of the license – "according to attorneys consulted for this article, the new language may indicate that Wizards of the Coast is rendering any future use of the original OGL void, and asserting that if anyone wants to continue to use Open Game Content of any kind, they will need to abide by the terms of the updated OGL, which is a far more restrictive agreement than the original OGL". The document also states that the intention of the OGL was not "to fund major competitors and it wasn't intended to allow people to make D&D apps, videos, or anything other than printed (or printable) materials for use while gaming". In a statement to EN World, Dancey – former VP of Wizards of the Coast and the architect of OGL1.0 – said, "my public opinion is that Hasbro does not have the power to deauthorize a version of the OGL. If that had been a power that we wanted to reserve for Hasbro, we would have enumerated it in the license. I am on record numerous places in email and blogs and interviews saying that the license could never be revoked". Following an apology issued by Wizards of the Coast, the company released a new draft (titled OGL 1.2) for public comment on January 19. It would put some of the Dungeon & Dragons mechanics under a Creative Commons license, while other material would be covered by OGL 1.2. Unlike the leaked OGL 1.1, the proposed OGL 1.2 contains "no royalty payment, no financial reporting, no license-back, no registration, no distinction between commercial and non-commercial". The proposed OGL 1.2 does de-authorize the OGL1.0a; it would also be "irrevocable, although there's still a severability clause should a part of the license is held to be unenforceable or invalid". Along with the proposed OGL 1.2, Wizards released a separate virtual tabletop (VTT) policy. On January 27, 2023, Wizards of the Coast announced that following feedback during the open comment for OGL1.2 they had decided to release the System Reference Document 5.1 (SRD 5.1) under an irrevocable creative commons license (CC-BY-4.0) effect immediately and would no longer pursue deauthorizing the OGL1.0a. Wandering DMs Paul Siegel and Dan “Delta” Collins host thoughtful discussions on D&D and other TTRPGs every week. Comparing the pros and cons of every edition from the 1974 Original D&D little brown books to cutting-edge releases for 5E D&D today, we broadcast live on YouTube and Twitch so we can take viewer questions and comments on the topic of the day.

Word has leaked that WOTC aims to terminate the OGL license used for 3rd-party D&D-compatible products for the last 20+ over years. Can they do it? Are all existing 3rd-party products about to be made illegal? What can it mean for the hobby and industry going forward? In August 2022, Wizards of the Coast launched a public playtest of the next version of Dungeons & Dragons under the One D&D initiative. In November 2022, there was reported speculation that the OGL would be discontinued for this new iteration of Dungeons & Dragons based on unconfirmed leaks. In response to the speculation, Wizards of the Coast stated in November 2022: "We will continue to support the thousands of creators making third-party D&D content with the release of One D&D in 2024. While it is certain our Open Game License (OGL) will continue to evolve, just as it has since its inception, we're too early in the development of One D&D to give more specifics on the OGL or System Reference Document (SRD) at this time". Following concerns raised by third-party Dungeons & Dragons creators on the potential changes to the OGL, in December 2022, Wizards of the Coast released additional details on the upcoming OGL 1.1 which will go into effect in 2023. This new license will clarify that it only applies to "printed media or static electronic files (like epubs and PDFs)" and "only covers material created for use in or as TTRPGs"; OGL 1.1 will not cover other content such as video games or virtual tabletops (VTTs). Content creators using OGL 1.1 will be required "to put an official OGL badge on their products". Revenue related to OGL content must be reported to Wizards of the Coast if that revenue exceeds $50,000 annually; creators who make at least $750,000 in income annually will be required to pay a royalty starting in 2024. Linda Codega, for Io9 in January 2023, reported on the details from a leaked full copy of the OGL 1.1 including updated terms such as no longer authorizing use of the OGL1.0. Codega explained that while the original OGL granted a "perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license" it also included language around authorized versions of the license – "according to attorneys consulted for this article, the new language may indicate that Wizards of the Coast is rendering any future use of the original OGL void, and asserting that if anyone wants to continue to use Open Game Content of any kind, they will need to abide by the terms of the updated OGL, which is a far more restrictive agreement than the original OGL".

OGL 1.1 risks killing the thriving ecosystem of valuable third-party content for Dungeons & Dragons.

Dave Weekley and Germain Lussier from iO9.com discuss Rings of Power, DC Shakeups, Superhero Sly, and more.

Warning: Do not listen to this episode unless you have seen the Disney+ Marvel Studios 2022 series, “Ms. Marvel.” or do not mind hearing key plot points. Ms. Marvel is the 7th Marvel Studios series to premiere on Disney+ since the streaming service began. It introduces high school student Kamala Khan, who soon finds she has unique powers. She is of Pakistani descent and is the first Muslim superhero in the MCU. Swara Salih, a writer for IO9 and Nerds of Color, joins the show. His Iraqi background gives him a unique perspective on this character. Like the podcast did with Black Panther and Shang-Chi, the question is raised on how this character makes a Muslim person feel to see that representation in a superhero series. In addition to the cultural impact, this episode discusses the audience reaction and the show's place in the overarching Marvel Cinematic Universe. Salih is a host of 2 podcasts, The Middle Geeks and Into the Spider-Cast. Follow him on social media @spiderswarz.

We've got a very special bonus episode for y'all! Last week, the newest installment in the Candyman series dropped and it's basically the whole thesis of our show. What if a white savior movie got remade by Black people? So we absolutely had to talk about this one.  Helping us break things down are film critics, Charles Pulliam-Moore (@CharlesPulliam) of iO9 and Valeria Complex (@Valeriecomplex) also of iO9, Deadline, Den of Geek and more.  We discuss the differences between the 1992 original and the newest film, the many themes layered throughout, what works, what doesn't, and the future of Black horror.  Check out their individual reviews here: Charles - https://gizmodo.com/candyman-review-nia-dacosta-film-1847501789 Valerie - https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/candyman-review-horror-movie-update-is-a-missed-opportunity/

Sure, she’s got telekinetic powers – a skill that the government is all too happy to make use of, sending her on secret break-in missions that no ordinary human could carry out. But all she really wants to do is kick back, have a beer, and pretend she’s normal for once. But then a body turns up at the site of her last job – murdered in a way that only someone like Teagan could have pulled off. She’s got 24 hours to clear her name – and it’s not just her life at stake. If she can’t unravel the conspiracy in time, her hometown of Los Angeles will be in the crosshairs of an underground battle that’s on the brink of exploding…

Recent footage has surfaced rumored to be from the defunct Star Wars: Underworld TV show Lucasfilm was developing in the mid-to-late-2000’s. Germain Lussier writes an article for iO9 breaking down the footage and essentially confirms its authenticity. We discuss the footage, Lussier’s article, and what are thoughts are on the footage and behind-the-scenes production we get to see. Plus, Josh shares a little bit about the Google Doc attached to the footage which goes deep into the history of the production and how it did expand on canonical content.

This week on Priority One --- We trek out a deleted scene from Discovery Season 2, catch a glimpse of Captain Pike, and celebrate Anthony Rapp's engage-ment! In Star Trek gaming, we enter the Breach, Strike Wing Escorts are available, and are you ready to step onto the Holodeck. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we'll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: Have you seen the new Short Trek, "Ask Not"? What did you think? AND CQ: Would you pay $48 to experience the Star Trek Discovery Away mission for 26 minutes? Do you plan on going to the VR experience in the future? TREK IT OUT by Shane Hoover Discovery Season 2 Deleted Tilly Scene The second season of Star Trek Discovery released this week on Blu-Ray and DVD. In a teaser last week on the IO9 website, CBS released an exclusive deleted scene featuring Tilly and her Mycelial parasitic pal, May Ahearn. The scene opens on Tilly trying to ignore the mysterious May by reading a PADD. May peeks around the edge and grins. Tilly, exasperated, tries to flee to the bathroom of her quarters, only for May to suddenly appear in that room. Clearly on the edge, Tilly declares that she can't be in the Starfleet Command Training Program if she's mentally unsound, to which May quips "Well that hardly seems fair!". May argues that Tilly's mind works in “Fascinating ways. I'm inside it, feeling the throb of your neurons, the rush of hot oxygenated blood coursing between hemispheres.” To which a confused Tilly responds, "Are you coming on to me?"  May convinces Tilly to help her in her quest to observe and speak to the Captain. She promises that she can help Tilly reach her ultimate potential and change the universe for the better. Once she's gotten her message to the Captain through Tilly, May swears she'll be gone. And the scene ends.  The Season Two Blu-Ray release boasts over four hours of special features, including behind-the-scenes featurettes, cast and crew insights, and two of the show's Short Treks - "Runaway" and "The Brightest Star". If this deleted scene is any indication, some great material from Season Two wound up on the cutting room floor! Captain Pike Short Trek Teaser StarTrek.com dropped a sneak peek at the upcoming Captain Pike centered Short Trek, "Ask Not" this week. As Pike narrates that the Enterprise has picked up a distress call from the U.S.S. Bowman, we see a young Starfleet officer in red working frantically at a console. Suddenly, the two wall displays behind her explode in a shower of fire, smoke, and glass. The scene fades to black and announces that the Short Trek would release on November 14th. Next, we see Pike himself declaring to someone offscreen, "I need you to let me out of here." We see an officer in gold, presumably Pike, being led by two guards through a bulkhead door in restraints and a black hood. Next, we see a dark-haired young woman declare that he's a prisoner whose orders carry no weight. An angry Pike barks "Cadet! I am giving you a direct order to release me!" The cadet refuses, and Pike warns that she will never see the inside of a starship again. Ominous music swells as the scene cuts to the Short Treks logo and the date November 14.  There are plenty of sudden cuts and one-sided conversations in this teaser.  So it's possible, even likely, that the relationship between the captive Pike and this cadet will not play out entirely as it seems. What's certain, though, is that Anson Mount's Pike will find himself in chains and in peril aboard another Starfleet vessel. Is he the victim of a trap? Was there a mutiny or piracy aboard the U.S.S. Bowman? What are Number One, Spock, and the Enterprise doing to rescue their Captain?  If you haven't already, check out the Short Trek now on CBS All Access. Star Trek: The Animated Series Leaving Netflix Streaming giant Netflix announced this week that all seasons of Star Trek: The Animated Series will be removed from the service on December 1, 2019. This announcement applies only to Netflix viewers in the United States, for now. The show, which aired for 22 episodes over two seasons, has been carried by Netflix since 2016. Though there has been no announcement, it seems likely that the show will be moving to CBS All Access after it leaves Netflix. While not widely considered essential Star Trek viewing, the Animated Series carried on the tales of the U.S.S. Enterprise where TOS left off. Almost the entire original cast returned to voice their characters for the show. If you're a Trek completist who hasn't yet seen it, or if you just enjoy the wilder side of Trek explored by these animated stories, you can still catch it on Netflix for now. Anthony Rapp's Engagement Star Trek Discovery actor Anthony Rapp took to Twitter this week to make a big personal announcement. He tweeted “So something happened tonight. I asked Ken if he would marry me and he said yes. I am so very happy, and I'm so very thrilled to share this news” The tweet was accompanied by a smiling picture of the happy couple. Voices of actors and fans from around the Star Trek world chimed in to share their best wishes. Everyone here at Priority One Podcast would also like to send our very best wishes and congratulations to Anthony and Ken! Captain Spock Statue Are you a die-hard collector of Star Trek merchandise? Then you might be interested in a brand new exclusive Captain Spock statue announced for pre-order by Sideshow and Darkside Collectibles Studio. According to the announcement it is “Recreated from original CBS Studio Inc. archived materials and through a thorough examination of the original filming costumes the statue features a breathtaking likeness of actor Leonard Nimoy as Captain Spock of the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE as he appears in the Paramount Pictures STAR TREK II The Wrath of Khan film directed by Nicholas Meyer in 1982. Leonard Nimoy, posed in the official Starfleet salutation, measures over 25 inches and is presented in an authentically sculpted detailed captain's costume. The statue captures the noble feeling and character of Spock and is accompanied with the United Federation of Planets flag.” The statue is truly amazingly detailed, capturing one of Nimoy's greatest performances as Spock in one of the most beloved Star Trek films. Two versions are available, one with Spock's hands behind his back, and another depicting Spock in the act of the famous Vulcan salute. The statue's $1299 price tag might deter all but the most determined collectors, though.

Miss Kitty Returns! Or does she? Is she back? Is this a total stranger? Who the hell knows?!?!? Does Bruce even care at this point? Bruce takes in the stray and it suddenly dawns on Alfred that he's going to have to change the litter tray as they drive off into the night and back home for some delicious cold soup. Joining today's investigation is a writer and vampire expert (how fitting for a Bat flick) - it's Variety editor Meredith Woerner! She has even booped the nose of ol' Rocket Racoon, so Meredith is more than capable of tackling a Bat and his Cat! The next episode follows on Monday. Same Bat Pod, different Bat Minute!

Andi and Lise celebrate their 50th show with the 2015 movie Mad Max: Fury Road, an Oscar-winning post-apocalyptic tour de force with overt and covert feminist themes. Fury Road’s pulse-pounding pacing, gorgeous and brutal cinematography, and tight writing intertwine into layers of characterization and narrative. Don’t let the title fool you; Charlize Theron’s Imperator Furiosa is the focus, here, and her journey both literal and thematic provide the underlying structure of the movie while Tom Hardy’s Max is the viewer’s window into Furiosa’s life and motivations when he’s thrown into her escape plan from a tyrannical ruler. The alliance Furiosa and Max forge while they race to escape the clutches of Immortan Joe and his forces is masterful story-telling, and will stay with you long after the movie ends. Find out more: The Verge Interview with director George Miller, NPR Screenrant, behind the scenes iO9, interview with Tom Hardy Charlize Theron on Fury Road, Elle Charlize Theron interview Also, Lise geeked out about the Netflix animated series The Dragon Prince, and Andi shared her thoughts on the movie Alita: Battle Angel. https://lezgeekoutcast.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/lgo_50_fury_road.mp3

Every so often, my work obsessions bleed into my extracurriculars, and Annalee Newitz was more than happy to help me geek out about robotics. We sat down a few months back in New York, while she was visiting for Book Expo America, in advance of her first novel, Autonomous. The book tackles questions of civil rights in a world where people own machines that are virtually human, exploring the cross section of her longstanding interests in technology and social justice. Newitz has been writing professionally about technology since the 90s, with a lengthy resume that includes top names like Popular Science and Wired, along with a stint as an analyst for the Electronic Frontier foundation. In 2008, she was tapped to launch and run iO9, a Gawker (now Gizmodo)-owned blog steeped in her love for science fiction. In this conversation, Newitz discusses the state of artificial intelligence and robotics and addresses of the tough questions society will have to answer as our creations become more and more like us.

Today on the 5: io9 feels that using the phrase "It's for the fans" as a response to criticism is an insult. I disagree.

Charlie and Christian examine DC Comics’ latest attempt to reinvent their publishing line. Is it really about defeating despair with hope, as writer/executive Geoff Johns has said? And is this friendly to new readers?

The hosts don't forget (Thanks to GallifreyPublicRadio.com) that The Doctor does indeed have a device that can download comics from the future and that we all both wants it and are a bit scared of all the content we’d have to “catch up” to. And how we’d all use the TARDIS to go jump through time to catch all the great upcoming movies not on opening weekend and how Biff Tannen wasn’t all that wrong in Back To The Future. Also, how we’d use the TARDIS to raid recent shipwrecks for their precious metals without getting in trouble with the law.   The hosts join listener Starsaber and iO9 in speculating on the future of Joss Whedon in Marvel or DC following Avengers 2 (http://io9.com/what-happens-to-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-when-joss-1656990975). And we discuss Jay’s top 5 Marvel character list:   Jay Witten To stargatepioneer@gonnageek.com Nov 9 at 5:34 PM Took me a little while to put them in the right order, but here they are. 1. Spiderman 2. Spiderman (Ben Reilly) 3. Spiderman (Miles Morales) 4. Spiderman 2099 5. Kane (failed Spiderman clone, later stabilized and is now Scarlet Spider)   Ok, I'm kidding....kinda.   For real now.   1. Spiderman (Peter Parker, though my favorite costume is the Ben Reilly version from the Sensational Spider-Man title.) 2. Gambit 3. Venom (Eddie Brock) 4. Deadpool 5. Hulk   All three hosts are revving to see Big Hero 6. If you’ve seen it drop us a line and tell the hosts what you thought of it! Also, the hosts discuss L+7 ratings (including the latest 3.0+ point jump from L+Same Day ratings) and what they might mean in the future for advertising and product placement in the television shows we love to watch in the future.   Haley’s not-seen movie list now includes: Showgirls, Top Gun, Skyfall, Magic Mike, Starman, Highlander and Much Ado About Nothing.   The crew discuss The Fantastic Four Movie, the new Victor Domashev (Dr. Doom) and why all the hosts really would like at least The Fantastic Four villains back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (The Skrulls, Galactus, Silver Surfer).   Of course there’s science in this episode as Stargate Pioneer brings forth a DARPA article on possible future Helicarriers (to be powers by nuclear power plants and flown over enemy territory via Haley) and Wired.com’s latest article on why no one can lift Thor’s hammer (spoiler: Gravitrons).   There seems to be a hiccup in how YouTube is counting views for the new Avengers 2 trailer that was released with additional footage. If anyone knows exactly how the YouTube counts views (especially with a replaced file) please let us know!   Haley and Lauren shower Stargate Pioneer with their knowledge of Attilan and how StarPi’s son Sandrock Kai teased his Dad about crossing the DC-Marvel streams. This episode had a plethora of great lines and quotes including an homage by Skye to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and how much of an Epic Fail Coulson’s 0-8-4 reveal was to Skye.   Stargate Pioneer pleads with Disney, ABC and Marvel to NEVER see the T.A.H.I.T.I. mind erasing device again.   We learn that the T.A.H.I.T.I. alien host is thousands of years old and Haley questions why the nuclear option to destroy the “host.” And Lauren regales us with her knowledge about genetic memory and retroviruses. For a great counter argument to genetic memory check out the new series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson (stop killing Pluto as a planet, dude!).   In this week’s episode The Writing On The Wall the show reveals to us a possibility for Fitz to regain his brain’s backup files! Yay Science Babies!   Plus we get friction between Science Baby (Simmons) and Mack (Science Babysitter).   The hosts attempt to get a timeline on just when S.H.I.E.L.D.’s T.A.H.I.T.I. project occurred and where the painting carvings and the chalkboard writing from last year came from.   The shady Hydra Goldbricks Boston tavern is a reference to Fury calling folks Goldbricks. And why Goldbricks isn’t a real apt descriptions for Fury to be saying anyway.   Ward’s dead man switch bugs Haley. A lot. And Lauren equates it to the thermal detonator in Star Wars.   The hosts discuss all the fun things that should have been on Bakshi’s cell phone to make it more entertaining for the viewers.

Today on the 5: This article on io9 about important inventions made me really think about what device I couldn't live without.

Allen Amis is a costume and prop builder working out of Chandler, Arizona. He got his start when Star Wars costuming ignited his passion for building and weathering sci-fi armor. He's won awards and accolades for his ability to bring artistic concepts and renderings to life as wearable costumes and displayable props. His most famous costume, The Samurai Boba Fett, is a show-stopper that even took a prize at Star Wars Celebration, the largest Star Wars convention in the US, and was featured in IO9, Geek Tyrant, and more. He recently finished a full-set Mass Effect Commander Shepard armor, Borderlands masks for an upcoming UAT fan film, finished a Fallout-inspired Mandalorian armor set for the Artmor Charity Auction, Appeared in the widely popular cosplay calendar MenvsCosplay, and has appeared in his Samurai Boba Fett in the hugely popular "Bohemian Rhapsody: Star Wars edition" paradoy video created by the Digital video team at UAT. He's always eager to help fans get their start on bringing their favorite costumes to life, and does several panels and talks throughout the year on the building process. You can catch Allen displaying and even wearing some of his creations at local Comic Book Conventions, Art Walks, and Charity functions throughout the year.
