We talk about Lithium-ion batteries on aircraft with the president and chief executive officer of UL Standards & Engagement. In the news this episode, we have some recent Lithium-ion battery issues on commercial flights, the A320-family corruption of flight data due to solar activity, and network-based location trackers for checked bags. Guest Jeff Marootian is the president and chief executive officer of UL Standards & Engagement (ULSE), a nonprofit safety advocacy organization. Jeff leads global efforts to advance safety and sustainability through standards development and advocacy. He is also a leading authority on rechargeable batteries and travel safety. ULSE has developed a new campaign to raise awareness of the fire risks associated with rechargeable devices in aviation at A Simple Step for a Safer Flight. It provides good information for people planning to travel. Jeff explains that Lithium-ion battery incidents are rare, but their frequency is increasing in airports and in the air. ULSE advocates for keeping rechargeable devices within arm's reach, and certainly not in checked baggage. We look at Lithium-ion thermal runaway, and Jeff tells us that it often results from batteries that are damaged, poorly constructed, or lack certification to a safety standard. Other topics we cover include the use of containment devices on airplanes, the need for a consensus process to deal with devices that are smoking or on fire, and how a coalition of stakeholders is working to address these concerns. Jeff also tells us what to look for when making a decision to purchase a rechargeable device. For more, see: Lithium-Ion Battery Incidents in Aviation: 2024 Data Review. Previously, Jeff led the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy, following roles as Senior Advisor to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and as a Special Assistant to the President in the Biden-Harris White House. Aviation News Eight People Rushed To Hospital After Smoking Battery Pack Fills Airplane Cabin With Toxic Fumes While passengers were boarding a Scandinavian airline SAS A320 at Norway's Oslo Airport, smoke started pouring out of a portable battery pack in a passenger's bag, filling the cabin with toxic smoke. The crew used a Halon fire extinguisher on the bag and removed it from the plane, then transferred it to the tarmac, where the airport fire brigade took over. The battery pack did relight before it was contained. Eight people were taken to the hospital with suspected toxic smoke inhalation, and all were discharged within 48 hours. United Flight Diverts to Dublin After Another Laptop Falls Into Business Class Seat A passenger’s laptop computer became trapped in the business class seat on United Airlines Flight UA925 flight from London to Washington. The plane was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Dublin. Solar flare vulnerability in A320 software forces emergency action by airlines In a recent press release, (Airbus update on A320 Family precautionary fleet action), Airbus said, “Analysis of a recent event involving an A320 Family aircraft has revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls.” Airbus consequently identified a significant number of A320 Family aircraft currently in service that may be impacted. The “recent event” was the uncommanded drop in altitude by a JetBlue A320 on October 30, 2025 that resulted in injuries and an emergency landing. Airbus says that “The subsequent investigation [After the incident] identified a vulnerability with the ELAC B hardware fitted with software L104 in case of exposure to solar flares. This identified vulnerability could lead in the worst case scenario to an uncommanded elevator movement that may result in exceeding the aircraft structural capability.” Airlines are instructed, according to The Air Current, “to either roll back to an earlier version of the software or replace the affected elevator aileron computer (ELAC) hardware with one containing the older software version. The maintenance action is expected to take three hours, according to the Airbus advisory.” AirTag's newest feature could work even better now for many travelers The Apple AirTag is useful for tracking the location of objects. There are other Bluetooth and network-based trackers available from Tile, Samsung, Chipolo, and other manufacturers. Air travelers use these trackers to locate their lost luggage. Last year, Apple introduced a “Share Item Location” feature. With the latest upgrade, you can share an AirTag's location with select airlines, allowing them to locate your luggage quickly. The AirTag API enables the seamless flow of detailed location information directly into an airline's backend. Apple and Delta have developed a tool that airlines can use.

Kodal Minerals PLC (AIM:KOD) CEO Bernard Aylward talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's successful first shipment of lithium concentrate from its Bougouni Project in Mali, marking a significant milestone for the company. Aylward confirmed that the shipment was completed faster than expected, noting the efficient transport and port-loading process. “The transport to the port actually was very fast as well. And we were very pleased that there were no hiccups here,” he said, highlighting the reliability of West Africa's trucking network. He explained that the $24 million from this initial shipment significantly strengthens Kodal's near-term cash position. The funds will support the ramp-up of stage two at Bougouni, continued drilling, and repayment of shareholder loans. The company is also focused on ensuring the Dense Media Separation (DMS) plant operates at optimal levels. With lithium prices improving, Aylward acknowledged the financial upside: “The better the price, the better it is for us and our shareholders and our joint venture.” He also emphasised the broader community impact, saying, “It's actually affecting the community. It's the positive effect on the people around us and Mali.” Looking ahead, Kodal plans to provide an update on mine site activities and expects to reach nameplate production levels following recent engineering enhancements and de-bottlenecking at the plant.

My whole life, I've been told that the first year of parenthood will be one of the hardest years of one's life. But with almost four months under my belt as a brand new 40-year-old dad, my experience has been very different. Being a parent is easier than I expected.This year, I've managed to write two books, my income has increased while my working hours have decreased, and I manage to work out and make love to my wife a few times a week.

Interview with Stephen Hanson, President & CEO of Surface Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/surface-metals-csesur-former-lithium-player-pivots-to-nevada-gold-with-walker-lane-project-7467Recording date: 21st November 2025Surface Metals Inc. (CSE: SUR) has strategically positioned itself across two commodity cycles through its April 2025 acquisition of the Cimarron gold project in Nevada whilst maintaining a diversified lithium portfolio anchored by a 300,000+ ton LCE resource at Clayton Valley, California. This dual-commodity approach provides investors with exposure to gold's current bull market and lithium's structural electrification demand.Following recent meetings on Wall Street and Bay Street, President and CEO Steve Hanson reports renewed institutional appetite for junior and mid-cap mining opportunities. Major banks including JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and HSBC forecast gold reaching $5,000 per ounce in 2026, driven by central bank accumulation, interest rate dynamics, and geopolitical tensions. Simultaneously, lithium markets show stabilisation following the 2023-2024 correction, with institutional interest returning to quality projects.The Cimarron gold project, located in Nevada's prolific Walker Lane trend approximately 35 kilometres south of Kinross's Round Mountain mine, benefits from extensive historical work conducted by Newmont and Echo Bay during the 1980s-1990s. Surface Metals has digitised this historical database and created three-dimensional geological models, positioning the company to commence phase one drilling in early 2026 with clear targeting rationale. The programme aims to confirm historical high-grade intercepts, validate a non-43-101 compliant resource, and expand towards a million-ounce target. Shallow oxide mineralisation suggests potential heap leach processing economics - a lower-cost development pathway relevant for junior companies.Surface Metals' lithium portfolio demonstrates geographic and geological diversification across three projects. The Clayton Valley brine project sits immediately northwest of Albemarle's Silver Peak operation - North America's only producing lithium brine facility operational since 1966. The company targets a preliminary economic assessment in 2026, evaluating direct lithium extraction technology offering faster processing and higher recovery versus traditional evaporation ponds. Neighbouring operator SLB's 2025 demonstration facility successfully produced lithium from similar brine chemistry, de-risking technology application.Fish Lake Valley represents exposure to sedimentary claystone lithium mineralisation, sitting contiguous to Ioneer's Rhyolite Ridge project backed by Ford, Toyota, and Panasonic offtakes with 2026 construction commencement planned. Surface Metals actively seeks joint venture partners to fund initial drilling. In Manitoba, NASDAQ-listed Snow Lake Resources earns into the company's pegmatite project through funded exploration whilst Surface Metals maintains carried interest without capital outlay.Capital efficiency distinguishes Surface Metals' approach. The company has reduced operational costs whilst advancing projects through partnership structures and targeted technical work avoiding dilutive capital raises during unfavourable market conditions. Sector consolidation reduced lithium-focused companies from 200-250 to approximately 60, with Surface Metals amongst survivors maintaining intact portfolio positioning to capture recovery momentum.Management contemplates multiple value realisation pathways including asset sales, joint ventures, or corporate restructuring to separate gold and lithium portfolios. In market conditions where commodities experience distinct cycles, portfolio separation could unlock valuation disparities whilst providing shareholders direct exposure to preferred commodity themes.All projects benefit from tier-one North American jurisdictions with established infrastructure, proximity to operating mines, and relatively streamlined permitting. Nevada exploration permits typically achieved in 90-120 days. As gold supply deficits emerge from major producers exhausting high-grade reserves, and lithium supply security achieves strategic priority, Surface Metals' portfolio positioning addresses structural market dynamics favouring quality junior mining opportunities in premier jurisdictions.View Surface Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/acme-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

NIO reports Q3 2025 earnings on November 25, 2025, just five days away, with all eyes on whether the company can achieve its first quarterly profit in Q4 despite an escalating battery supply crisis. This episode provides a critical update on the battery shortage situation that has worsened significantly since last week.The battery crisis has reached new levels of desperation. Purchasing managers from major Chinese automakers are now stationed outside CATL headquarters carrying their company seals, booking hotels nearby, and moving their purchasing offices next to battery factories. Senior executives are personally leading battery task forces to secure supply. XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng revealed he has been drinking with all battery manufacturer bosses over the past two weeks trying to secure allocation.CATL reported Q3 2025 revenue of RMB 104.186 billion, up 12.9 percent year-over-year, with net profit of RMB 18.549 billion, up 41.21 percent. The company was operating around the clock in October with production capacity almost unsustainable. JP Morgan's supply-demand model shows power battery industry capacity utilization will exceed 80 percent for the first time since 2022.The crisis is concentrated in two areas: high-nickel ternary batteries used in premium models priced above 300,000 yuan including NIO ES8, Li Auto L8, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, and Aito M7/M9, plus lithium iron phosphate batteries being diverted from automotive to energy storage applications.Lithium carbonate futures prices have surged 20 percent over the past month, with the most-active contract on Guangzhou Futures Exchange jumping 9 percent in a single session to 95,200 yuan per ton on November 17, approaching the psychological 100,000 yuan threshold. Since November alone, lithium has accumulated nearly 17 percent gains. Ganfeng Lithium Group Chairman Li Liangbin predicted 30 percent demand growth next year, with scenarios projecting lithium could reach 150,000 to 200,000 yuan per ton if demand accelerates.Four factors are driving the lithium price surge: First, China's energy storage lithium battery shipments reached 165 GWh in Q3 2025, up 65 percent year-over-year, with first nine months totaling 430 GWh exceeding 30 percent of all 2024. Energy storage uses the same lithium iron phosphate chemistry as mass-market EVs, creating competition for supply.

Chris Temple, Editor and Publisher of the National Investor, joins us live at the New Orleans Investment Conference to delve into US policy around critical minerals, and to help us separate the signal from the noise from all the focus in bills and executive orders on copper, uranium, rare earths, antimony, tungsten, lithium, and other strategic metals. We've seen a lot of volatility in many of the related resource stocks, and so we dive into a nuanced longer-form conversation about the investing angle in these various sectors.   We start off discussing the mixed bag coming from US policy around the extraction, processing, and refinement of critical minerals and energy metals from this administration compared to prior administrations.   On one hand we've seen positive funding measures and compressed permitting timelines emerge with initiatives like Fast-41, or the strategic position in MP Materials, or the approval of the Ambler Road for Trilogy Metals.  On the other hand, Chris argues that this is far too little, too late, and that it will take a much larger concerted effort and far more funds to really move the needle on domestic supplies of critical minerals and strategic metals.    We get into the challenges around processing and refinement, being much larger problems that most policy makers realize, and without a quick fix.   The question arises of how much can get realistically get done to help the extractive industries over the next 3 years, or potentially only 1 more year, depending on how mid-term elections turn out.   Chris also points out that many of these initial support bills and executive orders are encouraging, but most will need follow up support and follow through policies to assist, and it remains unclear if we'll see that pan out in the medium to longer-term.   Chris highlights discrepancies in policy and reality, like Rio Tinto's Resolution Mine in Arizona is on the Fast-41 list, but still has huge hurtles to overcome on a state and local stakeholder level to be able to move forward.  He also highlights that the Teck-Glencore JV at NorthMet in Minnesota, which is a world-class critical minerals project that has been stalled by multiple operators and government bodies and lobbyist groups for all of this century.  He also highlights the government investment into Lithium Americas Thacker Pass Project as potentially misguided use of funds that will be far more capital intensive than other options would have been. Chris reminds listeners that with all those projects, if they do ever get fully approved, they would still be many years from producing more of these critical minerals.   Chris reiterates that his top commodity sector for investing is still uranium due to all the tailwinds for nuclear energy.   He is also far more comfortable investing in traditional energy with oil and nat gas companies, than even some of the critical minerals for the longer-term, as we are far further from phasing out fossil fuels that people were led to believe in years past, and there are still opportunities in the energy stocks.   Click here to follow along with Chris at the National Investor website.   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.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 11-06-2025:>/p> Dr. Dawn interviews Cindy Jackonette and Dr. Michael Alexander about a fundraiser for pancreatic cancer awareness on November 15th at Bargetto Winery from 2-5pm, supporting the Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group. Dr. Alexander explains pancreatic cancer has only 10-15% five-year survival rates and is difficult to screen for. Screening involves complex endoscopy procedures examining pancreatic ducts, CT scans and biomarker scans. The disease represents 3% of cancer cases but 8% of deaths. Immune checkpoint inhibitors show limited success except in Lynch syndrome patients with DNA repair defects. The Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group donates annually to local cancer organizations and is all volunteer-run with minimal overhead. An emailer asks when her 56-year-old half-African American son should get colon cancer screening given his father and uncle both had the disease. Dr. Dawn explains African Americans have increased risk and recommends immediate colonoscopy despite the ideal screening window being 10 years ago. She emphasizes identifying whether he produces polyps, which would require surveillance every 3-5 years. Unlike pancreatic cancer, colon cancer is highly curable when detected early, with death rates dropping 30-40% since colonoscopies became standard in the mid-1990s. She recommends preventive measures including daily 200mg ibuprofen (if no ulcer history) and a high-fiber diet rich in colorful vegetables containing antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and DNA damage from free radicals. An emailer from Israel asks about supporting his 38-year-old son's rectal adenocarcinoma treatment. Dr. Dawn recommends nutritional strategies including juicing 10 different fruits and vegetables daily, 20mg melatonin for synergy with chemotherapy, vitamin D supplementation, and L-glutamine as primary food for bowel healing and lymphocyte function. She suggests DHA fish oil to enhance chemotherapy effectiveness, green tea for oncogene inhibition, astragalus herb to increase phagocytic activity and natural killer cells, and rotating water-extracted mushroom formulas with beta-glucans, particularly maitake and shitake. Glutamine also protects mucous membranes from radiation burns. Dr. Dawn discusses alarming cancer rate increases among young adults in Corn Belt states including Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Kansas. Since 2015, these states show 5% higher cancer rates for ages 15-49 compared to national averages, with particularly elevated kidney and skin cancer rates. Young women face 66% higher skin cancer risk than peers in other states. . Governor Kim Reynolds invested $1 million for research while Bayer's attempt to shield Roundup from lawsuits failed. Dr. Dawn notes Roundup now contains diquat after removing glyphosate. It has taken decades to accumulate evidence of glyphosates harms, She warns that absence of evidence of Diquats being harmful isn't evidence of safety and that Ames testing suggests high mutation potential. An emailer shares a JAMA article on lithium for Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Dawn explains that calcium dysregulation through NMDA receptors plays an upstream role in Alzheimer's pathology. Lithium, a bipolar disorder treatment, can reset deranged calcium gates, inhibiting mitochondrial damage and tau protein production. She emphasizes tau protein as the true culprit in Alzheimer's while amyloid beta is more symptomatic. Correcting calcium homeostasis allows neuronal autophagy systems to clear waste more efficiently rather than being overwhelmed. She reports dramatic peanut allergy declines following 2017 pediatric recommendations for introducing peanuts at 4-6 months based on the LEAP study showing 81% reduction. Between 2017-2020, peanut allergies dropped from 0.79% to 0.45% of all children under 3, with overall food allergies declining 36%. Studies also show pregnant mothers eating peanuts reduces offspring allergy risk by promoting immune tolerance. We conclude with breakthrough wireless retinal implants for macular degeneration, where cameras on glasses convert images to near-infrared signals to retinal implants which stimulate surviving retinal neurons. The prototype allowed patients to improve by two lines on eye charts and perceive facial expressions and read smaller print.

My guest is Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, professor of translational medicine and human genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. He explains how, unbeknownst to most doctors, many approved medications can successfully treat or even cure diseases other than the ones they are typically used to treat. He shares his story of escaping death from Castleman's disease by discovering a life-saving treatment using repurposed drugs that were approved for other purposes. Our conversation explores how researchers, physicians, and you—the general public—can explore novel treatments and cures to conditions the medical profession has deemed untreatable, including cancers. We also discuss the crucial role of mindset in battling diseases and the lesser-known use of compounds to promote health and longevity. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Dr. Aaron Breidenbach recently completed his PhD dissertation in Physics at Stanford.  His doctorial studies focused on the growth and magnetic measurement of the crystals Herbertsmithite and Zn-Barlowite.  His work went a long way towards proving that these crystals are "quantum spin liquids," a novel state of magnetic matter that has potential applications in quantum computing. These same crystals also grow naturally in the Atacama desert, where the local Atacamenian people hold rich animistic traditions which weave in their mountains and mummified ancestors through spiritual traditions.  Sadly, these living mountains are currently being over-mined for Copper and Lithium.  This process has led to many ecological issues, including the poisoning of the Atacamenian groundwater with arsenic.  The cruelest irony is that Herbertsmithite, a strong candidate to the the silicon of quantum computing, is regularly found in toxic waste tailings from these mines.   Aaron now is embarking on a journey to the Atacama to try to help restore these animistic traditions, bring balance to the land, and help advance the future of quantum computing.  For more information about Aaron, please see:  https://thequantumshaman.wordpress.com/ This podcast is available on your favorite podcast platform, or here:  https://endoftheroad.libsyn.com/episode-326-dr-aaron-breidenbach-quantum-computingcrystalsanimismatacama Have a blessed week!

Am 1. November jährt sich zum ersten Mal das Unglück von Novi Sad. Zu Mittag war damals das Vordach des Hauptbahnhofes eingestürzt. 14 Menschen kamen vor Ort  ums Leben, zwei weitere erlagen später ihren Verletzungen. Das Unglück löste die größte Protestwelle in Serbien aus. Der Vorfall wurde zum Symbol für die korrupte Regierung von Präsident Aleksandar Vučić. Der Politikwissenschaftler Vedran Džihić vom Österreichischen Institut für Internationale Politik (oiip) lässt im Gespräch mit Solmaz Khorsand das vergangene Jahr Revue passieren, analysiert die Protestbewegung, die mit brachialer Gewalt vom Staatsapparat niedergeschlagen wird und die viel zu spät in die Gänge gekommene Solidarität Europas für die Demonstrierenden.   Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Du "Ganz offen gesagt" auf einem der folgenden Wege unterstützt:Werde Unterstützer:in auf SteadyKaufe ein Premium-Abo auf AppleKaufe Artikel in unserem FanshopSchalte Werbung in unserem PodcastFeedback bitte an redaktion@ganzoffengesagt.atTranskripte und Fotos zu den Folgen findest Du auf podcastradio.at

Lithium levels in the brain drop in people with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's, fueling memory loss, brain inflammation, and the buildup of toxic proteins Low-dose lithium has been shown to preserve memory, improve attention, and stabilize mood without the kidney and thyroid risks tied to prescription-strength doses A clinical trial found that lithium slowed progression from early memory problems to Alzheimer's, lowering key disease markers and improving daily functioning Whole foods, mineral-rich water, magnesium, and zinc all support healthy lithium balance and give your brain the nutrients it needs to resist decline Removing vegetable oils, lowering excess iron, and boosting antioxidants like glutathione work alongside lithium to protect brain cells and preserve long-term memory
