POPULARITY

Selon l'OMS, l'obésité touche aujourd'hui plus d'un milliard de personnes dans le monde, et a entrainé 3,7 millions de décès dans le monde en 2024. Maladie chronique, l'obésité est également une maladie multifactorielle dont les causes peuvent être génétiques, environnementales, neurobiologiques... Comment expliquer l'augmentation exponentielle du nombre de personnes touchées par l'obésité ? Quelles peuvent être les conséquences sur la santé ? Quelles prises en charge existent ? À l'occasion de la journée mondiale de lutte contre l'obésité, nous allons parler de la prise en charge de cette maladie à la fois complexe, liée à des facteurs multiples et variés. L'obésité implique de multiples défis pour les patients concernés : faire face aux conséquences potentiellement nombreuses de ce surpoids pour leur santé (pour le cœur, les articulations, en termes de santé respiratoire ou de fertilité) et surmonter le jugement des autres ainsi qu'un certain nombre de contrevérités au sujet de leur état. L'obésité est une maladie et n'est pas le résultat d'une faiblesse, que seule la volonté pourrait corriger. Lutter contre les préjugés Aborder la question de l'obésité, c'est aussi s'arrêter sur le regard que porte la société sur le surpoids : d'un côté la face normative et restrictive, à quoi faut-il ressembler, quelle est l'image/la morphologie désirable ? Et de l'autre, l'incitation à la consommation, sucrée, salée, ultra-transformée. Prise en charge adaptée Les causes et facteurs multiples du surpoids et de cet excès de masse grasse peuvent nécessiter une approche plurielle : conseils et réajustement nutritionnel, activité physique et à côté de ces changements en termes d'hygiène de vie, des traitements adaptés peuvent être recommandés, tels que la chirurgie bariatrique ou la prescription de médicaments, à l'instar des traitements injectables, appelés analogue du GLP1, recommandés en cas d'obésité chronique récidivante, chez les personnes présentant des complications du surpoids.

What happens when a childhood dream refuses to let go? In this episode, I sit down with cartoonist and Lum and Abner historian Donnie Pitchford to explore how old-time radio, comic strips, and a love for storytelling shaped his life. Donnie shares how he grew up inspired by classic radio shows like Lum and Abner, pursued art despite setbacks, and eventually brought the beloved Pine Ridge characters back to life through a modern comic strip and audio adaptations. We talk about creativity, persistence, radio history, and why imagination still matters in a visual world. If you care about classic radio, cartooning, or staying true to your calling, I believe you will find this conversation both inspiring and practical. Highlights: 00:10 Discover how a childhood love of Lum and Abner sparked a lifelong dream of becoming a cartoonist. 08:00 Hear how college radio and classic broadcasts deepened a passion for old time radio storytelling. 14:33 Understand how years of teaching broadcast journalism built the skills that later fueled creative success. 23:17 Learn how the Lum and Abner comic strip was revived with family approval and brought to modern audiences. 30:07 Explore how two actors created an entire town through voice and imagination alone. 1:00:16 Hear the vision for keeping Lum and Abner alive for new generations through comics and audio.

Michael Hingson 01:21 Well, hi everyone, and welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset. I've been looking forward to this one for a while. We have Donny Pitchford as our guest today. You're probably going, who's Donnie Pitchford? Well, let me tell you. So years ago, I started collecting old radio shows. And one of the first shows that I got was a half hour episode of a show called Lum and Abner, which is about a couple of characters, if you will, in Pine Ridge, Arkansas. And I had only heard the half hour show sponsored by frigid air. But then in 1971 when ksi, out here in Los Angeles, the 50,000 watt Clear Channel station, started celebrating its 50 year history, they started broadcasting as part of what they did, 15 minute episodes of lemon Abner. And I became very riveted to listening to lemon Abner every night, and that went on for quite a while. And so I've kept up with the boys, as it were. Well, a several years ago, some people formed a new Lum and Abner society, and Donnie Pitchford is part of that. I met Donnie through radio enthusiast of Puget Sound, and yesterday, USA. And so we clearly being interested in old radio and all that, had to have Donnie come on and and talk with us. So Donnie, or whatever character you're representing today, welcome to unstoppable mindset. Donnie Pitchford 02:58 Huh? I'm glad to be here. Michael Hingson 03:00 He does that very well, doesn't he? It's a Donnie Pitchford 03:04 little tough sometimes. Well, I'm really glad to be here. Thank you. Michael Hingson 03:10 Well, I appreciate the audio parts of lemon Abner that you you all create every week, and just the whole society. It's great to keep that whole thing going it's kind of fun. We're glad that that it is. But let's, let's talk about you a little bit. Why don't you start by telling us about the early Donnie, growing up and all that. I'm assuming you were born, and so we won't worry about that. But beyond that, think so, yeah. Well, there you are. Tell us about tell us about you and growing up and all that, and we'll go from there. Donnie Pitchford 03:42 Well, I was born in East Texas and left for a little while. We lived in my family lived in Memphis, Tennessee for about seven years, and then moved back to Texas in 1970 but ever since I was a kid this I hear this from cartoonists everywhere. Most of them say I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was five years old. So that's in fact, I had to do a speech for the Texas cartoonist chapter of the National Cartoonist Society. And that was my start. I was going to say the same thing, and the President said, Whatever you do, don't do that old bit about wanting to be a cartoonist at age five. Everybody does that, so I left that part out, but that's really what I wanted to do as a kid. And I would see animated cartoons. I would read the Sunday comics in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and then at some point, my dad would talk about radio, and my mother would talk about listening to radio. We would have the reruns of the Lone Ranger television show and things like Sky King and other programs along those lines, and my parents would all. Way say, Well, I used to listen to that on the radio, or I would hear Superman on the radio, or Amos and Andy or whatever was being rerun at that time, and that fascinated me. And I had these vague memories of hearing what I thought were television programs coming over the radio when I was about two years old. I remember gunshots. I remember, you know, like a woman crying and just these little oddball things. I was about two years old, and I kept thinking, Well, why are we picking up television programs on my mother's radio? Turns out it was the dying gasps of what we now call old time radio. And so at least I remembered that. But when I was about, I guess eight or nine we were, my dad took me to lunch at alums restaurant in Memphis, and I saw that name, and I thought, What in the world? So what kind of name is that? And my dad told me about London Abner, and he said it reminds me. It reminded him of the Andy Griffith Show or the Beverly Hillbillies. I said, I'd love to hear that. He said, Ah, you'll never hear it. He said, those were live they don't exist, but years later, I got to hear them. So yeah, but that's how I grew up wanting to be a cartoonist and coming up with my own characters and drawing all the time and writing stories and that sort of thing. Michael Hingson 06:24 So when did you move back from Memphis to Texas? Donnie Pitchford 06:28 July 2, 1970 I just happened to look that up the other day. How old were you then? I was 12 when we came back. All right, so got into, I was in junior high, and trying to, I was trying to find an audience for these comic strips I was drawing on notebook paper. And finally, you know, some of the kids got into them, and I just continued with that goal. And I just, I knew that soon as possible, you know, I was going to start drawing comics professionally. So I thought, but kept, you know, I kept trying. Michael Hingson 07:06 So you, you went on into college. What did you do in college? Donnie Pitchford 07:11 Well, more of the same. I started listening to some old time radio shows even as far back as as high school. And I was interested in that went to college, first at a college called Kill Gore College, here in East Texas, and then to Stephen F Austin State University. And I was majoring in, first commercial art, and then art education. And I thought, well, if I can't go right into comics, you know, maybe I can just teach for a while. I thought I'll do that for a couple of years. I thought it wouldn't be that long. But while I was at Stephen F Austin State University, the campus radio station, I was so pleased to find out ran old time radio shows. This was in 1980 there was a professor named Dr Joe Oliver, who had a nightly program called theater of the air. And I would hear this voice come over the radio. He would run, he Well, one of the first, the very first 15 minute lemon Abner show I ever heard was played by Dr Oliver. He played Jack Benny. He played the whistler suspense, just a variety of them that he got from a syndicated package. And I would hear this voice afterwards, come on and say, It's jazz time. I'm Joe Oliver. And I thought, Where have I heard that voice? It was, it's just a magnificent radio voice. Years later, I found out, well, I heard that voice in Memphis when I was about 10 years old on W, R, E, C, radio and television. He was working there. He lived in Memphis about the same time we did. Heard him on the campus station at Nacogdoches, Texas. Didn't meet him in person until the late 90s, and it was just an amazing collection of coincidences. And now, of course, we're good friends. Now he's now the announcer for our audio comic strip. So it's amazing how all that came about. Well, I Michael Hingson 09:16 I remember listening to sort of the last few years of oval radio. I think it was, I don't remember the date now, whether it's 57 or 50 I think it's 57 the Kingston Trio had come out with the song Tom Dooley, and one day I was listening to K and X radio in Los Angeles. We lived in Palmdale, and I heard something about a show called suspense that was going to play the story of Tom Dooley. And I went, sounds interesting, and I wanted to know more about it, so I listened. And that started a weekly tradition with me every Sunday, listening to yours truly Johnny dollar and suspense, and they had a little bit of the FBI and peace and war. Then it's went into half and that that went off and Have Gun Will Travel came on, and then at 630 was Gun Smoke. So I listened to radio for a couple of hours every week, not every Sunday night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. And so that's how I really started getting interested in it. Then after radio went off the air a few stations out in California and on the LA area started playing old radio shows somebody started doing because they got the syndicated versions of the shadow and Sherlock Holmes with Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson. And I still maintain to this day that John Gielgud is the best Sherlock Holmes. No matter what people say about Basil Rathbone and I still think Sir John Gielgud was the best Sherlock Holmes. He was very, very good. Yeah, he was and so listen to those. But you know, radio offers so much. And even with, with, with what the whole lemon Abner shows today. My only problem with the lemon Abner shows today is they don't last nearly long enough. But that's another story. Donnie Pitchford 11:11 Are you talking about the comic strip adaptation? Okay, you know how long, how much art I would have to 11:21 do every week. Michael Hingson 11:25 Oh, I know, but they're, they're fun, and, you know, we, we enjoy them, but so you So you met Joe, and as you said, He's the announcer. Now, which is, which is great, but what were you doing then when you met him? What kind of work were you doing at the time? Donnie Pitchford 11:45 Well, of course, there was a gap there of about, I guess, 15 years after college, before I met him. And what ended up happening my first teaching job was an art job, a teaching art and graphic arts at a small high school in Hawkins, Texas, and that was a disaster. Wasn't a wasn't a very good year for me. And so I left that, and I had worked in the printing industry, I went back to that, and that was all during the time that the National London Abner society was being formed. And so I printed their earliest newsletters, which came out every other month. And we started having conventions in MENA, Arkansas and in the real Pine Ridge and the my fellow ossifers As we we call ourselves, and you hear these guys every week on the lemon Abner comic strip. Sam Brown, who lives in Illinois, Tim Hollis, from Alabama. Tim is now quite a published author who would might be a good guest for you one day, sure. And just two great guys. We had a third officer early on named Rex riffle, who had to leave due to various illnesses about 1991 but we started having our conventions every year, starting in 1985 we had some great guests. We brought in everybody we could find who worked with lemon Abner or who knew lemon Abner. We had their their head writer, Roswell Rogers. We had actors, I'm sure you've heard of Clarence Hartzell. He was Ben withers, of course, on the Old Vic and Sade show. He was Uncle Fletcher. We had Willard Waterman, parley Bayer, some of their announcers, Wendell Niles. And my memory is going to start failing me, because there were so many, but we had Bob's, Watson, Louise curry, who were in their first two movies. We had Kay Lineker, who was in their third movie. The list goes on and on, but we had some amazing when did Chester lock pass away? He passed away? Well, Tuffy passed away first, 1978, 78 and Chet died in 1980 sad. Neither of them, yeah, we didn't get to media. Yeah, we didn't meet either one of them. I've met Mrs. Lock I've met all of chet's children, several grandchildren. We spoke to Mrs. Goff on the phone a time or two, and also, tuffy's got toughie's daughter didn't get to meet them in person, but we met as many of the family as we could. Michael Hingson 14:32 Still quite an accomplishment all the way around. And so you you taught. You didn't have success. You felt really much at first, but then what you taught for quite a while, though, Donnie Pitchford 14:45 didn't you? Yes, I went back to the printing industry for about a year, and in the summer of 85 about two weeks before school started, I had got a call that they needed someone to teach Broadcast Journalism at. Carthage High School, and we had a department called CHS TV. I ran that for 25 years. I taught classes. We produced a weekly television program, weekly radio program. We did all kinds of broadcasts for the school district and promotional video. And then in the last I think it was the last 10 years or so that I worked there, we started an old time radio show, and we were trying to come up with a title for it, and just as a temporary placeholder, we called it the golden age of radio. Finally, we said, well, let's just use that, and I think it's been used by other people since, but, but that was the title we came up with. I think in 19 I think it was in 93 or 9495 somewhere in there. We started out. We just ran Old Time Radio, and the students, I would have them research and introduce, like, maybe 45 minutes of songs, of music, you know, from the 30s, 40s, maybe early 50s, big band and Sinatra and Judy Garland and you name it. Then, when the classes would change, we would always start some type of radio program that was pre recorded that would fill that time, so the next class could come in and get in place and and everybody participated, and they went out live over our cable television channel, and we would just run a graphic of a radio and maybe have some announcements or listing of what we were playing. And we did that for several years, usually maybe two or three times a year. And then in I think it was 2004 or so, we had an offer from a low power FM station, which was another another county over, and we started doing a Sunday night, one hour program each week. And I think we ended up doing close to 300 of those before I left. And so we got old time radio in there, one way or the other. Michael Hingson 17:03 Well, I remember. I remember, for me, I went to UC Irvine in the fall of 1968 and by the spring the last quarter of my freshman year, I had started getting some old radio shows. So started playing shows, and then in the fall, I started doing a three hour show on Sunday night called the Radio Hall of Fame, and we did radio every night. And what I didn't know until, actually, fairly recently, was our mutual friend Walden Hughes actually listened to my show on Sunday, and so did the gas means actually, but, but we had a low power station as well, but it made it up, and so people listened to it. And I've always been proud of the fact that during the fact that during the time I ran the Radio Hall of Fame, I'd heard of this show called 60 minutes with a guy named Mike Wallace, but never got to see it. And then it was only much later that I actually ended up starting to watch 60 Minutes. Course, I always loved to say I would have loved to have met, met Mike Wallace and never got to do it, but I always said he had criminal tendencies. I mean, my gosh, what do you think he was the announcer on radio for the Green Hornet, a criminal show, right? Sky King, a lot of criminals. Clearly the guy. Anyway, I would have been fun to meet him, but, Donnie Pitchford 18:31 and his name was Myron. Myron Wallach at the time. Wallach, you're right. I think that's right. Michael Hingson 18:37 But it was, it was fun and and so I've actually got some Sky King shows and green Hornets with him. So it's, it's kind of cool, but Right? You know, I still really do believe that the value of radio is it makes you imagine more. I've seen some movies that I really like for that the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Kevin McCarthy back in 1955 I thought was such a good movie because they didn't show the plants taking over the humans. It was all left to your imagination, which was so cool, and they changed all that in the later remake of it with Leonard Nimoy, which I didn't think was nearly as good, not nearly as suspenseful. But anyway, that's just my opinion. But radio, for me was always a and continues to be a part of what I like to do. And so I've been collecting shows and and enjoying and, of course, listening to lemon Abner, So what made you decide to finally end teaching? Donnie Pitchford 19:38 Well, you know, I could only do that so long. I was getting I was getting very tired, getting kind of burned out, and I had to have a change. There's something had to change. And I was able to take a few years early and retire, and I still the whole time I had a. That it was like a haunting feeling. I, you know, I wanted to be a cartoonist. I would pray, you know, you know, Lord, is there some way can I, can I get out of this? And can I do what I really want to do? And I had some mentors that was finally able to meet people that I would write letters to as a kid, a cartoonist and comic book editor named George Wildman was one of them. He was nice enough to answer my letters when I was a kid, and I'd send him drawings, and he would encourage me, or he would send little corrections on there, you know. And another one was a gentleman named high Eisemann, who passed away recently at age 98 on his birthday, but men like this inspired me, and that it kept at me through the years. I finally met George in 1994 at a convention of the the international Popeye fan club. And I'm I'm at high the same way, and also a writer named Nicola Cuddy, who wrote some Popeye comics. I met him the same way, same event, we all became friends, and I had a good friend named Michael Ambrose of Austin, Texas, who published a magazine devoted to the Charlton Comics company. Sadly, he's deceased now, but Mike and I were talking before I retired, and finally I got out of it. And he said, now that you're out of that job, how would you like to do some art? I said, That's what I want to do. So he gave me the opportunity to do my first published work, which was a portrait of artist George Wildman. It was on the cover of a magazine called Charlton spotlight, then I did some work for Ben Omar, who is bear Manor media publisher for some books that he was doing. One was Mel Blanc biography that Noel blank wrote, did some illustrations for that. This was all happening in 2010 and after that. So I was getting it was getting rolling, doing the kind of work I really wanted to do. And there's a gentleman named Ethan nobles in Benton, Arkansas, who wanted to interview me. I'd gotten, I don't know how he I forgot how he got in touch with me. Maybe he heard me on yesterday USA could be wanted to interview me about London Abner. And so he was starting a website called first Arkansas news. And somewhere in early 2011 we were talking, and I said, you know, you want this to be an online newspaper, right? He said, Yes. I said, What about comics? He said, I hadn't thought about that. So I said, Well, you know, you're a big Lum and Abner fan. What if we could we do a Lum and Abner comic strip? He said, Well, who would Where would I get? Who would do? And I said, Me. So I drew up some proposals, I drew some model sheets, and we did about four weeks of strips, and got approval from Chester lock Jr, and he suggested there's some things he didn't like. He said, The lum looks too sinister. He looks mean. Well, he's mad. He said he's mad at Abner. This won't happen every week. He said, Okay, I don't want LOM to be I said, Well, you know, they get mad at each other. That's part of the that's the conflict and the comedy Michael Hingson 23:30 at each other. Yeah. Donnie Pitchford 23:33 So we, we ironed it all out, and we came up with a financial agreement, and had to pay royalties and one thing and another, and we started publishing online in June 2011, and about six weeks later, the MENA newspaper, the MENA star in MENA, Arkansas, which was the birthplace of Lyman, Abner, Chet Locke and Norris Goff, they picked it up, and then we had a few other newspapers pick it up. And you know, we're not, we're not worldwide, syndicated in print, but we're getting it out there. And of course, we're always online, but and the first Arkansas news went under three or four years later, and so now we have our own website, which is Lum and Abner comics.com so that's where you can find us Michael Hingson 24:24 online. So where's Pine Ridge? Donnie Pitchford 24:28 Pine Ridge is about 18 miles from Mena, Arkansas. MENA is in western Arkansas, and Pine Ridge is about 18 miles east, I believe I'm trying to picture it in my mind, but it's it's down the road, and it actually exists. It was a little community originally named for a postmaster. It was named waters, waters, Arkansas, and in 1936 the real. At cuddleston. He was a real person who owned a store there in waters, and was friends with the locks and the golfs with their parents, as well as Chet and Tuffy. But he proposed a publicity stunt and an actual change of name to name the community Pine Ridge. So that's how that happened. Michael Hingson 25:24 Now, in the original 15 minute episodes, who is the narrator? Donnie Pitchford 25:28 Well, it depends what era their first one trying to remember. Now, Gene Hamilton was an early announcer in the Ford days, which was the early 30s. We don't have anything recorded before that. Charles Lyon was one of the early announcers, possibly for for Quaker Oats. I don't have any notes on this in front of me. I'm just going on memory here. Memory at the end of a long week. Gene Hamilton was their Ford announcer. Carlton brickert announced the Horlicks malt and milk did the commercials when they 1934 to 38 or so. Lou Crosby took over when they were sponsored by General Foods, by post them, the post them commercials, and Lou stayed with them on into the Alka Seltzer era. And his daughter, the celebrity daughter, is Kathie Lee Crosby, you may remember, right, and she and her sister Linda, Lou were a couple of our guests at the National lemon Avenue society convention in 1996 I think let's see. Crosby was Gene Baker came after Crosby, and then in the 30 minute days, was Wendell Niles. Wendell Niles, yeah, in the CBS the 30 minute series and Wendell. We also had him in Mina, super nice guy when it came, when it got into the later ones, 1953 54 I don't remember that announcer's name. That's when they got into the habit of having Dick Huddleston do the opening narration, which is why we now have Sam Brown as Dick Huddleston doing that every week. Michael Hingson 27:27 So was it actually Dick Huddleston? No, it Donnie Pitchford 27:30 was North golf, tough. He always played the part of Dick Huddleston. Okay, the only, the only time that, as far as I know, the only time the real dick Huddleston was on network radio, was at that ceremony in Little Rock Arkansas, when they changed the name of the town that the real dick Huddleston spoke at that event. And we actually, we discovered a recording of that. I was just gonna ask if there's a recording of that there is. Yeah, it's on 12 inch, 78 RPM discs. Wow. And they were probably the personal discs of lock and golf, and they weren't even labeled. And I remember spinning that thing when Sam Brown and I after we found it, it was down in Houston, and we brought them a batch of discs back, and I remember spinning that thing and hearing the theme song being played, I said, this sounds like a high school band. And suddenly we both got chills because we had heard that. I don't know if it was the Little Rock High School band or something, but it's like, Can this be? Yes, it was. It was. We thought it was long lost, but it was that ceremony. Wow. So that was a great find. Michael Hingson 28:45 Well, hopefully you'll, you'll play that sometime, or love to get a copy, but, Donnie Pitchford 28:50 yeah, we've, we have we played it on yesterday, USA. Oh, okay, so it's out there. Michael Hingson 28:57 Well, that's cool. Well, yeah, I wondered if Dick Huddleston actually ever was directly involved, but, but I can, can appreciate that. As you said, Tuffy Goff was the person who played him, which was, that's still that was pretty cool. They were very talented. Go ahead, Donnie Pitchford 29:19 I was gonna say that's basically tough. He's natural speaking voice, yeah, when you hear him as Dick Huddleston, Michael Hingson 29:24 they're very talented people. They played so many characters on the show. They did and and if you really listen, you could tell, but mostly the voices sounded enough different that they really sounded like different people all the time. Donnie Pitchford 29:41 Well, the fun thing are the episodes where, and it's carefully written, but they will, they will do an episode where there may be seven or eight people in the room and they get into an argument, or they're trying to all talk at the same time, and you completely forget that it's only two guys, because they will overlap. Those voices are just so perfectly overlapped and so different, and then you stop and you listen. So wait a minute, I'm only hearing two people at a time, but the effect is tremendous, the fact that they were able to pull that off and fool the audience. Michael Hingson 30:15 I don't know whether I'd say fool, but certainly entertained. Well, yeah, but they also did have other characters come on the show. I remember, yes, Diogenes was that was a lot of fun listening to those. Oh yeah, yeah, that was Frank Graham. Frank Graham, right, right, but, but definitely a lot of fun. So you eventually left teaching. You decided you accepted jobs, starting to do cartoons. What were some of the other or what, well, what were some of the first and early characters that you cartooned, or cartoons that you created, Donnie Pitchford 30:50 just, you mean, by myself or Well, or with people, either way, I did some things that were not published, you know, just just personal characters that I came up with it would mean nothing to anybody, but a little bit later on, I did a little bit of I did a cover for a Popeye comic book. Maybe 10 years ago, I finally got a chance to work with George Wildman, who was the fellow I talked about earlier, and it was some of the last work he did, and this was with Michael Ambrose of Argo press out of Austin, Texas. And we did some early characters that had been published by Charlton Comics. They had, they had characters, they were, they were rip offs. Let's be honest. You know Harvey had Casper the Friendly Ghost. Well, Charlton had Timmy, the timid ghost. There, there was Mighty Mouse. Well, Charlton Comics had atomic mouse, so and there was an atomic rabbit. And Warner Brothers had Porky Pig. Charlton had pudgy pig, but that was some of George's earliest work in the 1950s was drawing these characters, and George was just he was a master Bigfoot cartoonist. I mean, he was outstanding. And so Mike said, let's bring those characters back. They're public domain. We can use them. So I wrote the scripts. George did the pencil art. Well, he inked the first few, but Mike had me do hand lettering, which I don't do that much. So it was that was a challenge. And my friend high Iseman taught lettering for years and years, and so I was thinking, high is going to see this? This has to be good. So I probably re lettered it three times to get it right, but we did the very last story we did was atomic rabbit and pudgy pig was a guest star, and then George's character named brother George, who was a little monk who didn't speak, who lived, lived in a monastery, and did good deeds and all that sort of thing. He was in there, and this was the last thing we did together. And George said, you know, since I've got these other projects, he said, Do you think you can, you can ink this? So that was a great honor to actually apply the inks over George's pencil work. And I also did digital color, but those were some things I worked on, and, oh, at one point we even had Lum and Abner in the Dick Tracy Sunday comic strip, and that was because of a gentleman named Mike Curtis, who was the writer who lived in Arkansas, was very familiar with Lum and Abner, and he got in touch with me and asked, this was in 2014 said, Would it be possible for me to use Lum and Abner in a Sunday cameo? So I contacted the locks. First thing they first thing Chet said was how much I said, I don't think they're going to pay us. I felt like, Cedric, we hunt, no mom, you know. And I felt like he was squire skimp at the time, yeah, but I said, it's just going to be really good publicity. So he finally went for it, and Lum and Abner had a cameo in a Sunday Dick Tracy comic strip, and about four years later, they honored me. This was Mike Curtis, the writer, and Joe Staton, the artist, who was another guy that I grew up reading from as a teenager, just a tremendous artist, asked if they could base a character on me. And I thought, what kind of murderer is he going to be? You know, it was going to be idiot face or what's his name, you know. So no, he was going to be a cartoonist, and the name was Peter pitchblende. Off, and he was, he said his job was to illustrate a comic strip about a pair of old comedians. So, I mean, who couldn't be honored by that? Yeah, so I don't remember how long that story lasted, but it was an honor. I mean, it was just great fun. And then then I had a chance to write two weeks of Dick Tracy, which was fun. I wrote the scripts for it and and then there's some other things. I was able to work with John rose, a tremendously nice guy who is the current artist on Barney Google and Snuffy Smith. We did a story, a comic book story, on Barney Google on Snuffy Smith in a magazine called Charleton spotlight, and I did the colors, digital coloring for that. So just these are just great honors to me to get to work with people like that. And Nick Cuddy, I did some inking, lettering coloring on some of his work. So just great experience, and Michael Hingson 36:02 great people, going back to atomic rabbit and pudgy pig, no one ever got in trouble with, from Warner Brothers with that, huh? Donnie Pitchford 36:09 Well, not, not on atomic rabbit, however, pudgy pig created a problem because George was doing some art, and I think somebody from Warner Brothers said he looks too much like Porky, so the editor at the time said, make one of his ears hang down, make him look a little different. But pudgy didn't last long. Pudgy was only around maybe two or three issues of the comic book, so, but yeah, that's George. Said they did have some trouble with that. Michael Hingson 36:44 Oh, people, what do you do? Yeah, well, I know you sent us a bunch of photos, and we have some of the Dick Tracy ones and others that people can go see. But what? What finally got you all to start the whole lemon Abner society. Donnie Pitchford 37:07 Oh, well, that goes back to 1983 right, and I'll go back even farther than that. I told you that my dad had mentioned lemon Abner to me as a kid. Dr Joe Oliver played a 15 minute lemon Abner show on KSA you at Stephen F Austin State University. That got me. I was already into old time radio, but it was the next summer 1981 there's a radio station, an am station in Gilmer, Texas Christian radio station that started running Lum and Abner every day. First it was 530 in the evening, and then I think they switched it to 1215 or so. And I started listening, started setting up my recorder, recording it every day. And a friend of mine named David Miller, who was also a radio show collector, lived in the Dallas area, I would send them to him, and at first he wasn't impressed, but then suddenly he got hooked. And when he got hooked, he got enthusiastic. He started making phone calls. He called Mrs. Lock chet's widow and talked to her. He spoke to a fellow who had written a number of articles, George Lily, who was an early proponent or an early promoter of lemon Abner, as far as reruns in the 1960s and it was through George Lilly that I was put in touch with Sam Brown in Dongola, Illinois, and because he had contacted Mr. Lilly as well. And before long, we were talking, heard about this guy named Tim Hollis. Sam and I met in Pine Ridge for lemon Abner day in 1982 for the first time, and hit it off like long lost friends and became very good friends. And then in 84 I believe it was Sam and Tim and Rex riffle met again, or met for the first time together, I guess in Pine Ridge. And I wasn't there that time. But somehow, in all of that confusion, it was proposed to start the national lemon Abner society, and we started publishing the Jot them down journal in the summer of 1984 Michael Hingson 39:43 and for those who don't know the Jotham down journal, because the store that lemon Abner ran was the Jotham down store anyway, right? Donnie Pitchford 39:50 Go ahead, yes. And that was Tim's title. Tim created the title The Jotham down journal, and we started publishing and started seeking information. And it started as just a simple photocopy on paper publication. It became a very slick publication. In 1990 or 91 Sam started recording cassettes, reading the journals, because we were hearing from Blind fans that said, you know, I enjoy the journal. I have to have somebody read it to me. This is before screen readers. And of course, you know this technology better than I do, but before any type of technology was available, and Sam said, Well, I'll tell you. I'll just start reading it on tape and I'll make copies. Just started very simply, and from then on, until the last issue in in 2007 Sam would record a cassette every other month, or when we went quarterly, four times a year, and he would mail those to the the blind members, who would listen to those. And sometimes they would keep them, and sometimes they would return them for Sam to recycle. But incidentally, those are all online now, Michael Hingson 41:03 yeah, I've actually looked at a few of those. Those are kind of fun. So the London Avenue society got formed, and then you started having conventions. Donnie Pitchford 41:14 Yes, yes. First convention was in 1985 and we did a lot of things with we would do recreations. We would do a lot of new scripts, where, if we had someone that we got to the point where we would have people that hadn't worked with lemon Abner. So we would have lemon Abner meet the great Gildersleeve. Actually, Willard had worked on the lumen Abner half hour show at some point. I believe les Tremain had never worked directly with them, but he was well, he was in some Horlicks malted milk commercials in the 1930s and of course, the Lone Ranger was never on the London Abner show and vice versa, until we got hold of it. So we had Fred Foy in 1999 and he agreed to be the announcer, narrator and play the part of the Lone Ranger. So we did Lum and Abner meet the Lone Ranger, which was a lot of fun. We had parley bear, so Lum and Abner met Chester of Gun Smoke. And those were just a lot of fun to do. And Tim, Tim would write some of them, I would write some of them, or we would collaborate back and forth to come up with these scripts. Did love and amner, ever meet Superman? No, we never got to that. That would have been great. Yeah, if we could have come up with somebody who had played Superman, that would have been a lot of fun. We had lemon Abner meet Kathie Lee Crosby as herself. Yeah, they met Frank brazzi One time. That must be fun. It was a lot of fun. We had some people would recreate the characters. We had the lady who had played Abner's daughter, Mary Lee Rob replay. She played that character again, 50 years later, coming back home to see, you know, to see family. Several other things, we had London Abner meet Gumby one time. Of all things, we had Dow McKinnon as a guest. And we had Kay Lineker come back and reprise one of her roles, the role she played in the London Abner movie. Bob's Watson did that as well. Some years we didn't have a script, which I regret, but we had other things going on. We had anniversaries of London Abner movies that we would play. So whatever we did, we tailored it around our guest stars, like Dick Beals, Sam Edwards, Roby Lester, gee whiz. I know I'm leaving people out. Michael Hingson 43:52 Well, that's okay, but, but certainly a lot of fun. What? Yes, what? Cartoonist really influenced you as a child? Donnie Pitchford 44:01 Oh, wow. I would say the first thing I saw that got my attention was the Flintstones on on prime time television, you know, the Hanna Barbera prime time things certainly Walt Disney, the animation that they would run, that he would show, and the behind the scenes, things that would be on the Disney show, things like almost almost anything animated as a kid, got my attention. But Walter Lance, you know, on the Woody Woodpecker show used to have, he'd have little features about how animation was done, and that that inspired me, that that just thrilled me. And I read Fred lachel's Snuffy Smith Chester Gould's Dick Tracy. Tracy, which that was a that's why the Dick Tracy connection, later was such a big deal for me. Almost anything in the Sunday comics that was big. Foot. In other words, the cartoony, exaggerated characters are called, sometimes called Bigfoot, Bigfoot cartooning, or Bigfoot characters. Those were always the things I looked for, Bugs Bunny, any of the people that worked on those some were anonymous. And years later, I started learning the names of who drew Popeye, you know, like LZ seagar, the originator, or bud sagendorf or George Wildman, and later high eysman. But people like that were my heroes. Later on, I was interested in I would read the Batman comics, or I would see Tarzan in the newspaper. I admired the work of Russ Manning. Michael Hingson 45:49 Do you know the name Tom Hatton? Yes, I do. Yeah. Yes. Tom did Popeye shows on KTLA Channel Five when I was growing up, and he was famous for, as he described it, squiggles. He would make a squiggle and he would turn it into something. And he was right on TV, which was so much fun. Donnie Pitchford 46:09 We had a guy in Memphis who did the same thing. His name was, he's known as Captain Bill, C, A, P, you know, Captain Bill. And he did very much the same thing. He'd have a child come up, I think some, in some cases, they're called drools. Is one word for them. There was a yeah, in Tim hollis's area, there was cousin Cliff Holman who did that. And would he might have a kid draw a squiggle, and then he would create something from it right there on the spot, a very similar type of thing, or a letter of the alphabet, or your initials, that sort Michael Hingson 46:43 of thing. Yeah. Tom did that for years. It was fun. Of course, I couldn't see them, but he talked enough that I knew what was going on. It's kind of fun. My brother loved them, yeah? So later on, when you got to be a teenager and beyond what cartoonist maybe influenced you more? Donnie Pitchford 47:03 Well, I would have to say George, probably because I was corresponding with him, right? Also, I would see the work of Carl Barks, who created Uncle Scrooge McDuck and the Donald Duck comics and all that. His stuff was all in reprint at that time, he was still living, but I didn't know he could be contacted. I didn't try to write to it, right? Years later, years later, I did get an autograph, which was, was very nice. But those people, a lot of people, Neil Adams, who did Batman, the guys at Charlton Comics, Steve Ditko, who was the CO creator of spider man, but he had a disagreement with Stan Lee, and went back to Charlton Comics and just turned out 1000s of pages, but his work was was inspirational. Another was Joe Staton, who was working at Charleton comics, who I got to work with on several projects later on, and I would say just all of those guys that I was reading at the time. Pat Boyette was another Charlton artist. I tend to gravitate toward the Charlton company because their artists weren't contained in a house style. They were allowed to do their own style. They didn't pay as much. But a lot of them were either older guys that said, I'm tired of this, of the DC Marvel system. I want to just, you know, have creative freedom. Charlton said, come on. And so they would work there and less stress, less money, probably one guy named Don Newton started there and became a legend in the industry at other companies. So I found all of those guys inspiring, and I felt I could learn from all of them. Michael Hingson 48:59 Well, you always wanted to be a cartoonist. Did you have any other real career goals, like, was teaching a goal that you wanted to do, or was it just cartooning it? Donnie Pitchford 49:07 Well, it was just a secondary, you know, as I said, when I started, I thought, I'll just do that for a few years. You know, I didn't know it was going to be like 27 but I we had a lot of success. We had, I had some student groups that would enter video competitions. And for 20 straight years, we placed either first, second or third in state competition with one Summit, one entry, another or another every year. And that was notable. I mean, I give the kids the credit for that. But then about five or six of those years, we had what we call state championship wins, you know, we were like the number one project in the state of Texas. So, you know, we had some great success, I think, in that so a lot of years there, I really, you know, that was a blessing to me. Was that career, you. Well, it just, it just got to be too much time for change. After a while, Michael Hingson 50:05 was art just a talent that you had, and cartoon drawing a talent you had, or, I don't remember how much you said about did you have any real special training as such? Donnie Pitchford 50:14 Well, all of my training was, I just couldn't afford to go to a specialized school. You know, at one time, the Joe Kubert School opened just about the time I graduated high school, it was in New Jersey. I just couldn't make that happen, so I went to state colleges and universities and did the best I could. I took commercial art classes, drawing classes, design classes, even ceramics, which came in very handy when I did some sculpting here in the last eight or nine years and worked as an assistant to a sculptor named Bob harness who lives here in Carthage, but I never had any actual comic strip slash comic book training, so I learned as much of that as I could from guys like George wild. And then after I started the lemon Avenue comic strip, an artist named Joe, named Jim Amish, who worked for Marvel, did a lot of work for the Archie Comics. And tremendous anchor is his. He's really a tremendous anchor, and does a lot of ink work over other artists pencils. Jim would call and say, he said, I want to give you some advice. I'm like, okay, at 3am he's still giving me advice. So I'd go around for two or three days feeling like a failure, but then I would, I would think about all the lessons, you know, that he had told me. And so I learned a lot from Jim and tremendous, tremendous guy. And I would listen to what high, sometimes high would call up and say, Why did you use that purple beg your pardon. So it was fun. I mean, those fellows would share with me, and I learned a great deal from those guys. Michael Hingson 52:11 Are you in any way passing that knowledge on to others today? Donnie Pitchford 52:16 I don't know that I am. I've had an offer or two to do some teaching. I just don't know if I'm if I'm going to get back into that or not. Yeah, I'm so at this point, focused on, quote, unquote, being a cartoonist and trying to make that, that age five dream, a reality, that I'm not sure I'm ready to do that again. And you know, I'm not, I'm not 21 anymore. Michael Hingson 52:45 I didn't know whether you were giving advice to people and just sort of informally doing it, as opposed to doing formal teaching. Donnie Pitchford 52:51 Well, informally, yes, I mean, if anybody asks, you know, I'll be glad to share whatever I can. But yeah, I'm not teaching any classes at this point. Michael Hingson 53:01 Well, you have certainly taken lemon Abner to interesting places in New Heights. One, one thing that attracted me and we talked about it before, was in 2019, lemon Abner in Oz. That was fun. Donnie Pitchford 53:17 Well, the credit for that goes to Tim Hollis. Tim wrote that as a short story years ago when he was first interested in lemon Abner. And I don't know if he ever had that published through the International oz society or not. I don't remember, but Tim later turned that into a radio script when we had a batch of guests. This was in 2001 we had, let's see Sam Edwards, Dick Beals, Roby Lester and Rhoda Williams. And each of them had done something related to Oz, either the children's records or storybook records or animation or something. They were involved somewhere in some type of Oz adaptation. So Tim turned his short story into a radio script that we performed there at the convention. So that was a lot of fun. And then he suggested, Why don't I turn that into a comic strip story? So that's what we did. But that was fun, yeah, and we used the recordings of those people because they had given us permission, you know, to use a recording however we saw fit. The only problem is we had a mistake. The fellow that was running the sound had a dead mic and didn't know it. Oh, gosh. So some of them are bit Off mic in that audio, but we did the best. I did the best I could Michael Hingson 54:40 with it's it sounded good. I certainly have no complaints. 54:45 Thank you for that. Michael Hingson 54:47 I I said no complaints at all. I think it was really fun and very creative. And it's kind of really neat to see so much creativity in terms of all the stuff that that you do. As a cartoonist, me having never seen cartoons, but I learned intellectually to appreciate the talent that goes into it. And of course, you guys do put the scripts together every week, which is a lot of fun to be able to listen to them well. Donnie Pitchford 55:17 And that's what that was, the audience I hoped that we would would tap into right there and it, it was guys like you that would would talk to me and say, What am I going to do? You know, I can't see it. So that's why the audio idea came about. And it's taken on a life of its own, really. And we've got Mark Ridgway, who has created a lot of musical cues for us that we use and Michael Hingson 55:45 who plays the organ? Donnie Pitchford 55:47 That's Mark Ridgway. It is Mark, okay, yes, yes. And it's actually digital, I'm sure. I think it's a digital keyboard, Michael Hingson 55:55 yeah, but it is. It's a, it's a really good sounding one, though. Donnie Pitchford 55:59 Yes, yes. There are a few cues that I did, which probably are the ones that don't sound so good, like if we ever need really bad music. If you remember the story we did, and I don't remember the name of it, what do we call it anyway? Lum tries to start a soap opera. Think this was about a year ago. Yeah, and Cedric is going to play, I don't remember it was an organ or a piano, and I don't remember what he played, but whatever it was, I think was Mary Had Michael Hingson 56:32 a Little Lamb, Mary's, Mary Had a Little Lamb on the piano. Sort of kind played. Donnie Pitchford 56:35 It was played very badly, well that, yes, it was on purpose. When mom plays lum tries to play the saxophone. That was me, and I hadn't played this. I used to play the sax. In fact, I played in a swing orchestra here in Carthage, Texas for about five years back in from the early 90s. And so I had this idea, and I hadn't played the horn probably since, probably in 20 years, and his. So I got it out, and I thought, you know, it's gonna sound terrible because it needs maintenance, but it doesn't matter. It's lump playing it, so I got to play really badly. Michael Hingson 57:14 It was perfect. It was perfect, Donnie Pitchford 57:16 yeah, because it had to sound bad. Michael Hingson 57:19 How do y'all create all these different plots. I remember so many, like the buzzard, you know, and, oh yeah, that was fun. And so many. How do you come up with those? Donnie Pitchford 57:28 Well, I used to get some really good ideas while mowing the yard. Don't ask me, why? Or I get ideas. I get ideas in the weirdest thing, weirdest places. Sometimes I have ideas in the shower. You know, I said, I better write this down. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night with an idea, but there the ideas just come to me. Yeah? The buzzard was fun. I'd had that one. Pretty creative. Yeah, the one about, the one about, let me see. Oh, there was one we did, where wasn't the buzzard? What was that other one? I called the Whisper? Yeah, there was a strange voice that was coming lum thought it was coming from his radio. And he turns his radio off, and He still hears it, and it was a villain who had somehow hypnotized everyone so that they wouldn't see him and he would use his voice only. And then there's a character I came up with, and let me see Larry Gasman played it, and I called him Larry John Walden, and he was the only guy he was blind. He was the only guy that wasn't hypnotized because he couldn't see the you know, I use the old thing about the watch in front of the eyes. I mean, he was the only guy that wasn't hypnotized, so he wasn't fooled by the whisper, and he could track him, because his hearing was so acute that he was able to find him. In fact, I think he could hear his watch ticking or something like that. So he was the hero of that piece. But, well, I just, I just think up ideas and write them down. Tim Hollis has written some of the scripts, maybe three or four for me, I've adapted some scripts that London Abner did that were never broadcast or that were never recorded. Rather, I've adapted a few, written several, and I keep saying, Well, when I completely run out of ideas, I'll just have to quit. Michael Hingson 59:32 Well, hopefully that never happens. What? What are your future plans? Donnie Pitchford 59:38 Well, right now, there's nothing major in the works other than just maintaining the strip, trying to continue it, trying to make it entertaining, and hopefully doing a little work on the website and getting it into the hands of more people. And I'd like to increase. Least newspaper coverage, if at all possible. And because this thing doesn't, you know, it's got to pay for itself somehow. So you know, I'm not getting rich by any means. But you know, I want to keep it fun. I want to keep having fun with it. Hopefully people will enjoy it. Hopefully we can reach younger readers, listeners, and hopefully lemon Abner can appeal to even younger audiences yet, so that we can keep those characters going. Michael Hingson 1:00:29 Yeah, there's so much entertainment there. I hope that happens now in the the life of Donnie Pitchford. Is there a wife and kids? Donnie Pitchford 1:00:40 Yes, there's a wife of almost 40 years. We unfortunately don't have any children. We've almost feel like we adopted several children all the years we were teaching. We we've adopted several cats along the way. And so, you know, we've had cats as pets for almost ever, since we were married. But that's she's, she's great, you know, she's, she's been my best friend and supporter all these years. And we were members of first Methodist Church here in Carthage, Texas, and doing some volunteer work there, and helping to teach Sunday school, and very involved and active in that church. Michael Hingson 1:01:19 So I have a cat, and I hear her outside, not outside the house, but outside the the office here, she wants me to go feed her, and we, we shaved her yesterday because her hair gets long and Matt's very easily. So she got shaved yesterday. So she's probably seeking a little vengeance from that too, but, but my wife and I were married 40 years. She passed away in November of 2022 so it's me and stitch the cat and Alamo the dog, and Karen is monitoring us somewhere. And as I tell everyone, I've got to continue to be a good kid, because if I'm not, I'm going to hear about it. So I got to be good. But it's a lot of fun. Well, I want to thank you for being with us today. This has been a lot of fun. I've learned a lot, but it's just been great to have another podcast talking about old radio shows. And you said again, if people want to reach out, they can go to lemon Abner comics.com if people want to talk to you about doing any kind of cartooning or anything like that. What's the best way they can do that? Donnie Pitchford 1:02:24 Well, they can go to the London Abner dot lumen, Abner comics.com website, and there's a contact a link right there at the top of the page. So yeah, they can contact me through that. Probably that's the easiest way to do it. Michael Hingson 1:02:37 Okay, well, I want to thank you again for being here, and I want to thank all y'all out there. That's how they talk in Texas, right? It's all y'all for everybody. Donnie Pitchford 1:02:46 Well, some of them do, and some of them in Arkansas do too. Well, yeah. Michael Hingson 1:02:49 And then there's some who don't, yeah, y'all means everything, and it Speaker 1 1:02:54 don't, yeah, I don't think squire skimp says it that way. Michael Hingson 1:02:58 Well, Squire, you know, whatever it takes. But I want to thank you all for being here, and please give us a five star rating wherever you're listening or watching the podcast.

Shaun Heinrichs, President and CEO of 1911 Gold Corp (TSXV: AUMB) (OTCQX: AUMBF), joins me to for a comprehensive visual exploration and development update for advancing their True North Project, which includes a permitted mine and mill complex located on the Company's 100%-owned Rice Lake Gold property, spanning 61,647 hectares within and adjacent to the Archean Rice Lake greenstone belt in Manitoba, Canada. Shaun outlines how 1911 Gold believes its land package is a prime exploration opportunity, on a brownfield site, with the potential to develop a mining district centered on expanding resources and eventually moving back into the development of the past-producing True North complex. In addition to the permitted mine, there is a 1300 tpd permitted mill in place, which is expandable to 2250 tpd, which would have access to cheap hydroelectric power, and there is a permitted tailings area. We unpack the key metrics from the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), released to market on February 10th. Shaun also highlights that this PEA doesn't include any of their drilling for the last 2 years, or the drilling they are doing this year, and is modeled off only a portion of the prior 2018 resource estimate. Towards the end of this year the Company will be releasing an updated Resource Estimate incorporating the last few years of drilling, and then an updated PEA incorporating that larger resource model. The initial PEA released this month outlines a robust gold mining operation utilizing the fully built and permitted infrastructure, including shafts, underground workings, and the processing and tailings management facility. 1911 Gold has estimated the infrastructure replacement value as being in excess of $400 million. The plan targets steady-state production of 58,114 ounces per annum with a mine life of 11 years. PEA Highlights: Robust Economics (After-tax): At a long-term gold price of US$3,000 per ounce (“oz”) there is a Net present value (“NPV”) (5%) of $391 million, internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 105%, and a payback period of 2.2 years At a constant gold price of US$4,800/oz, the NPV(5%) grows to $998 million, with no calculated IRR due to no years with a negative cash flow, and an almost immediate payback period of under 1.0 year. Fully Permitted, Low Capital Project: Initial capital expenditures (“Capex”) of $59.2 million, utilizing the currently built and permitted payable infrastructure. Additional Capex of $46.7 million during the first 2 years of ramp-up. Processing: Average diluted mill head grade of 4.32 grams per tonne gold (“g/t”, “Au”) with gold recoveries of 93.5% over the LOM. Cash Costs and AISC: Producing gold at a cash cost of US$1,390/oz and all in sustaining cost (“AISC”) of US$1,897/oz. Near-Term Production: Production due to start in the first half of 2027 with test mining and a bulk sample planned for the second half of 2026. Production Growth: 1911 Gold has identified excellent potential to increase production by developing recently discovered zones such as San Antonio Southeast, San Antonio West, and Shore which are adjacent to existing infrastructure and not included in the study, in addition to regional targets. This led us into the ongoing aggressive exploration program underway at surface for shallow high-grade targets as well as at depth, at their 2 new discoveries: the San Antonio West and San Antonio Southeast. The ongoing drilling is expanding the known resources of around 1.1 million ounces of gold in all categories. With regards to regional targets, there was a 2,200-metre (“m”) diamond drill program completed in December at the Ogama-Rockland gold deposit, located approximately 27 kilometres (“km”) southeast of the True North Gold Project. One surface drill rig was mobilized and commenced drilling on December 12, 2025, and focused on resource expansion and confirmation drilling, with a separate resource update due out from this area later this year.

Avui és dimecres 4 de febrer i, per tant, es commemora el Dia Mundial contra el Càncer. Lloret de Mar, com no podia ser d'una altra manera, s'hi suma amb diferents accions. La primera ha estat aquest matí, quan Oncolliga ha organitzat els Esmorzars solidaris, amb la col·laboració de diferents establiments. Val a dir que La Terrassa del Bella se suma a la campanya demà dijous. Els altres bars participants han estat Sant Pere 70, Parada, Can Carbó, Solivins, Alarcón, Marsol, Can Comas, Anubis i Lo Más. Part dels beneficis es destinen a ajudar els malalts i les seves famílies i també a projectes de recerca. D’altra banda, a partir d’aquest vespre, l'Associació contra el Càncer de Lloret, en col·laboració amb l’Ajuntament, il·luminarà la façana de la Casa de la Vila de color verd. Més enllà de Lloret, aquests dies s'il·luminaran edificis emblemàtics d'arreu de Catalunya i de l'estat. La presidenta de l'entitat, Cristina Pané, apunta que l'objectiu és conscienciar la població per afavorir la prevenció i la detecció precoç de la malaltia. “Il·luminarem l'Ajuntament per conscienciar i per donar visibilitat i que la gent se n'adoni i vegin que ens hem de cuidar per poder posar fre a aquesta malaltia tan terrible”Cristina Pané La façana s’il·luminarà de verd fins diumenge. Una altra iniciativa és la campanya La compra de la teva vida, que comença aquest divendres i s'allarga fins al 15 de febrer. En el cas de Lloret, hi col·laboren els supermercats Consum i Dia i tots els donatius que es recullin s'adreçaran a la lluita contra el càncer. “Les caixeres et diran que arrodoneixis la compra o l'ampliïs amb el donatiu que vulguis i aquests diners serviran per ajudar els malalts de càncer i les seves famílies i per posar una mica de fre en aquesta malaltia tan terrible”Cristina Pané Recordem que l'objectiu principal del Dia mundial contra el càncer és sensibilitzar la població sobre aquesta malaltia i fomentar-ne la prevenció i la detecció precoç. I és que les dades són força alarmants. L'últim informe de la Societat Espanyola d'Oncologia Mèdica apunta que aquest 2026 es preveu que es detectin més de 8.000 casos nous de càncer en persones d'entre 20 i 39 anys. L’augment de casos entre aquest segment de la població es relaciona amb el consum d’aliments ultraprocessats, l’obesitat, disfuncions de la microbiota i un ús excessiu d’antibiòtics. Malgrat aquestes previsions alarmants, Cristina Pané assenyala que cada cop es millora més en la supervivència i l'objectiu és que el 2030 sigui d'un 70%. “La nostra proposta és que el 2030 arribem amb un 70% de supervivència, però això no vol dir que l'altre 30% el deixem pel camí, és veritat que les dades són molt preocupants”Cristina Pané Per tant, avui, 4 de febrer, es commemora el Dia Mundial contra el Càncer. Una jornada impulsada per la Unió Internacional per al Control del Càncer, amb el suport de l'Organització Mundial de la Salut.

El proper 4 de febrer és el Dia Mundial contra el Càncer i una desena d'establiments de Lloret de Mar conviden la població a col·laborar a través d'esmorzars solidaris. La iniciativa és de la delegació de Lloret de la fundació Oncolliga Girona, que es repeteix després de l'èxit de l'any passat. Silvia Serrano, membre de la delegació lloretenca, subratlla que “el càncer està molt present a les nostres vides, tothom coneix algú amb aquesta malaltia” i recorda que “els esmorzars solidaris de l'any passat van tenir bona acollida i volem repetir”. Hi ha més establiments col·laboradors amb la causa que l'any passat. Són els següents: Sant Pere 70, Parada, Can Carbó, Solivins, Alarcón, Marsol, Can Comas, Anubis, Lo Más i la Terrassa del Bella (que ho farà l'endemà, 5 de febrer). Una part dels beneficis es destinaran a ajudar els malalts de càncer i les seves famílies, a més de finançar projectes de recerca i fer donatius als hospitals. A tothom que participi en els esmorzars, se'ls posarà un llaç dels colors que representen els diferents tipus de càncer. Per fer-ne més difusió, es demana als participants que facin una foto i ho pengin a Instagram amb les etiquetes corresponents com #oncolligalloret. “Volem convertir un gest quotidià com esmorzar en una acció solidària”Sílvia Serrano La delegació de Lloret d'Oncolliga Girona es va crear al 2024. Duu a terme accions per ajudar els malalts de càncer com aquests esmorzars, la Cursa de les Mames, recollida de cabells, venda de polseres o projeccions de cinema.

Le gouvernement du Burkina Faso a exprimé sa « reconnaissance » au Togo après l'extradition, le 17 janvier, de l'ancien président de transition, le lieutenant-colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba. Il a été renversé en 2022 par le capitaine Ibrahim Traoré, qui l'accuse régulièrement d'être le cerveau de plusieurs tentatives de putsch, dont celle annoncée au début du mois. Pourquoi cette extradition n'intervient que maintenant ? Éléments de réponse avec le Grand Invité Afrique du jour, Rinaldo Depagne, directeur adjoint pour l'Afrique de l'International Crisis Group, en ligne avec Sidy Yansané. À lire aussiQuel jeu diplomatique joue Lomé dans l'extradition de l'ex-putschiste Paul-Henri Damiba vers le Burkina Faso?
« 72 heures de spéculations, de faux scoops et de rumeurs sur l'extradition de l'ex-président de la Transition du Burkina Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba. Et finalement, constate Aujourd'hui à Ouagadougou, l'info avérée tombe du côté de Lomé : l'illustre exilé renversé le 30 septembre 2022 a été remis au Burkina par le Togo sur requête des autorités burkinabè ». Commentaire du quotidien ouagalais : « le Togo reste fidèle à ses valeurs d'accueil humanitaire pour contribuer à la paix chez ses voisins mais il ne veut pas faire de son territoire un centre de déstabilisation contre ses mêmes voisins ! L'hôte Damiba, par ses implications supposées dans de multiples tentatives de déstabilisation dénoncées par Ouagadougou, semble avoir gravement porté atteinte au sacro-saint principe de neutralité attendu de tout exilé politique fut-il ancien chef d'Etat galonné ! Le Togo prévient ainsi tous les exilés politiques que le temps de l'impunité est révolu ! Accueil et humaniste oui mais déstabilisation Non ! » Le Togo a cédé Finalement, l'ex-officier putschiste a donc bien été lâché par les autorités togolaises… Jeune Afrique nous dévoile les dessous de cette extradition : « Lomé a reçu une demande d'extradition le 12 janvier, avec une accusation "de détournement criminel de deniers publics, enrichissement illicite, corruption, incitation à la commission de délits et crimes, recel aggravé et blanchiment de capitaux". Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba a été arrêté 4 jours plus tard, le 16 janvier, puis écroué. Le même jour, la chambre d'instruction de la Cour d'appel de Lomé donnait un avis favorable à son extradition. Les autorités togolaises, précise encore Jeune Afrique, disent aussi avoir reçu l'assurance que Paul-Henri Sandagogo Damiba aurait droit à "un procès équitable" et qu'il n'y aurait pas de "peine de mort", bien que la peine capitale ait été rétablie au Burkina Faso en décembre dernier ». Accusations et interrogations Alors, complète Afrik.com, « cette arrestation s'inscrit dans la continuité des accusations portées par le régime du capitaine Ibrahim Traoré contre son prédécesseur. Depuis plusieurs mois, le pouvoir burkinabè affirme avoir déjoué différents projets de coup d'État, dont le plus récent aurait été planifié début janvier. (…) Dans ce scénario présenté par Ouagadougou, Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba est désigné comme le principal instigateur présumé. Il lui est reproché d'avoir orchestré la planification des opérations, recherché des financements et établi des réseaux mêlant militaires et civils. Toujours selon les autorités burkinabè, poursuit Afrik.com, des fonds auraient transité depuis l'étranger, notamment depuis la Côte d'Ivoire, afin de soutenir logistiquement cette entreprise. Des arrestations ont été opérées au Burkina Faso et des témoignages filmés de suspects ont été diffusés, alimentant le discours officiel sur l'ampleur de la menace. Cependant, relève encore le site panafricain, l'absence de communication judiciaire indépendante et la diffusion d'"aveux" filmés soulèvent des interrogations au sein de la société civile et parmi certains observateurs internationaux. Plusieurs analystes rappellent que le Burkina Faso traverse une phase de forte crispation politique, où la lutte contre l'insécurité et la consolidation du pouvoir militaire s'accompagnent d'un contrôle strict de l'information. À ce stade, rappelle Afrik.com, aucun procès public n'a été annoncé et aucun document officiel ne détaille précisément les charges retenues contre l'ancien président de la Transition. L'implication présumée de pays voisins dans cette affaire ajoute une dimension diplomatique sensible ». Eteindre toute contestation Le Monde Afrique rappelle le contexte politique actuel au Burkina Faso : « le 1er avril dernier, le chef de la junte, le capitaine Traoré, – qui s'est attribué, en mai 2024, sans élection, un mandat présidentiel jusqu'en juillet 2029 – a solennellement proclamé l'instauration de la "révolution progressiste et populaire" au Burkina Faso. "Nous ne sommes pas dans une démocratie", avait-il dit alors. "ous sommes bien en révolution". De fait, poursuit Le Monde Afrique, le capitaine Traoré a éteint toutes les voix dissidentes, civiles comme militaires. Ses opposants, mais aussi des membres de leurs familles, sont arrêtés (et parfois torturés) ou contraints à l'exil. Certains disparaissent pendant des mois, voire des années, sans que leurs proches n'aient aucune nouvelle. De quoi faire dire à ses détracteurs que le Burkina Faso, "le pays des hommes intègres", n'est plus celui qui il y a peu encore était loué pour la vitalité de sa société civile et de sa presse indépendante ». Enfin, ce commentaire du Point Afrique : la junte burkinabé « gouverne par la peur pour masquer le vide. Au lieu de s'attaquer aux racines du problème, qui ont pour nom corruption endémique, sous-équipement des forces armées, alliances douteuses avec des milices locales, la junte préfère désigner des boucs émissaires ».
[Audio section from Video on 01-21-2026]: Glenn Jessome, President & CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR) (OTCQX:SLVTF), joins me for a special video segment which visually unpacks the key metrics, maps, and forward-looking plan for the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the underground mining second phase of the El Tigre Project. We also review what the combined El Tigre Silver-Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico looks like on a valuation standpoint, when one sees the first phase surface mining stockwork zone in tandem with the underground second phase. The bolt-on PEA is centered on the underground mining economics of the high-grade El Tigre, Sulphide, Black Shale and Seitz Kelly zones. The PEA mine design can be constructed independently of the Stockwork Zone development and is focused on the underground Mineral Resource. Prospective areas exist outside of the areas defined by the PEA and PFS with the historic “El Tigre North Mine” Mineral Resource located 700 metres to the North. Highlights of the PEA , with a base case silver price of $38/oz and gold price of $3,200/oz are as follows (all figures in US dollars unless otherwise stated): After-Tax net present value (“NPV”) (using a discount rate of 5%) of $304 million with an After-Tax IRR of 42.8% and Payback Period of 2.6 years (Base Case); 15-year UG mine life with 3-year historical tailings processing recovering a total of 38 million payable silver equivalent ounces (“AgEq”) or 453 thousand gold equivalent ounces (“AuEq”), consisting of 34 million silver ounces and 130 thousand gold ounces; Total Project undiscounted after-tax cash flow of $496 million; Initial capital costs of $83.5 million, including $10.9 million in contingency costs, over an expected 18-month build, and sustaining capital costs of $213 million over the life of mine (“LOM”); The 2026 PEA mine plan is designed as stand-alone to the PFS, with a potential overlap of initial capital cost of $17M (e.g., grid power, offices); Average LOM operating cash costs of $1,351/oz AuEq, and all in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of $2,019/oz AuEq or Average LOM operating cash costs of $16.05/oz AgEq, and AISC of $23.98/oz AgEq; Average annual production of approximately 2.3 million AgEq oz or 27.8 thousand AuEq oz, consisting of 2.1 million silver ounces and 8.0 thousand gold ounces (refer to Table 10 footnotes for conversion to Eq ozs); and PEA Study of the Southern Veins does not include the 38 million ounces AgEq contained in the Northern Veins (see details in updated Mineral Resource Estimate below). We also go on to unpack all the #exploration upside still at surface, in the underground, and along the district-scale mineralized trend of a number of historic past-producing mines that will have drill programs for many years into the future.

Eteindre toute contestation Le Monde Afrique rappelle le contexte politique actuel au Burkina Faso : « le 1er avril dernier, le chef de la junte, le capitaine Traoré, – qui s'est attribué, en mai 2024, sans élection, un mandat présidentiel jusqu'en juillet 2029 – a solennellement proclamé l'instauration de la "révolution progressiste et populaire" au Burkina Faso. "Nous ne sommes pas dans une démocratie", avait-il dit alors. "ous sommes bien en révolution". De fait, poursuit Le Monde Afrique, le capitaine Traoré a éteint toutes les voix dissidentes, civiles comme militaires. Ses opposants, mais aussi des membres de leurs familles, sont arrêtés (et parfois torturés) ou contraints à l'exil. Certains disparaissent pendant des mois, voire des années, sans que leurs proches n'aient aucune nouvelle. De quoi faire dire à ses détracteurs que le Burkina Faso, "le pays des hommes intègres", n'est plus celui qui il y a peu encore était loué pour la vitalité de sa société civile et de sa presse indépendante ». Enfin, ce commentaire du Point Afrique : la junte burkinabé « gouverne par la peur pour masquer le vide. Au lieu de s'attaquer aux racines du problème, qui ont pour nom corruption endémique, sous-équipement des forces armées, alliances douteuses avec des milices locales, la junte préfère désigner des boucs émissaires ».

C'est à Lomé, au Togo, que va se tenir, après-demain samedi, un nouveau sommet sur la RDC. En effet, le président Faure Gnassingbé a été désigné par l'Union africaine pour faire la médiation dans cette crise meurtrière. Autour du chef de l'État togolais, on attend de nombreux ministres africains des Affaires étrangères et les envoyés spéciaux des États-Unis et du Qatar. Ce sommet pourra-t-il empêcher une nouvelle offensive sur le terrain du M23 et de son allié rwandais ? Christian Moleka est le coordinateur de la Dynamique des politologues du Congo, la DYPOL. En ligne de Kinshasa, il répond à Christophe Boisbouvier RFI : Christian Moleka, ce sommet de Lomé ce 17 janvier 2026, est-ce qu'il peut en sortir quelque chose ? Christian Moleka : il peut en sortir une tentative de coordination des initiatives de médiation qui sont aujourd'hui à la fois africaines et internationales, qatariennes et américaines. Le Togo, qui représente l'Union africaine de la médiation, a depuis 2025 lancé l'initiative qui a pris du temps à s'implémenter. Et donc, il y a une nécessité de tenter de redonner sens à l'initiative, à la fois africaine, mais de coordonner également avec ce qu'il s'est fait à Doha et à Washington. Et donc, la rencontre peut aider à une clarification des rôles, redonner à l'Union africaine probablement une dynamique de dialogue interne et peut-être une dynamique régionale qui prendra en compte les autres acteurs comme l'Ouganda et le Burundi, qui n'ont jamais été pris en compte afin qu'elle ne marche pas, je dirais, sur les plates-bandes de Doha et de Washington. Avant ce sommet, le Congolais Félix Tshisekedi a fait plusieurs déplacements. Il est allé voir le Togolais Faure Gnassingbé à Lomé. Il est allé aussi rencontrer l'Angolais Joao Lourenço à Luanda. Le président angolais lui aurait fait des propositions intéressantes. De quoi pourrait-il s'agir ? Il peut s'agir de la volonté de relancer un dialogue interne, un dialogue national interne congolais. L'Angola qui aujourd'hui voit une rébellion qui peut s'étendre vers le Katanga et donc remettre en question les intérêts économiques du corridor de Lobito, a besoin d'un minimum de stabilité. Et donc, un processus de dialogue interne peut naître de la démarche angolaise. Parce que Kinshasa a refusé à ce jour de prendre l'initiative des évêques, notamment la démarche du pacte social. Et donc, une initiative angolaise qui porterait sur le dialogue national inclusif peut, pour Kinshasa, être un plan de rechange contre la dynamique interne portée par les évêques. Sur le fond du dossier, il y a une paix artificielle qui a été signée le 4 décembre à Washington par les présidents du Congo et du Rwanda en présence de Donald Trump. Mais quelques jours plus tard, les rebelles du M23 et leurs alliés rwandais se sont emparés de la ville d'Uvira, au Sud-Kivu. Qu'est-ce qu'il faut en déduire ? Il faut en déduire que le M23, qui reste l'acteur militaire souterrain, ne se sent pas lié par le processus de Washington et qu'on a un processus de Doha qui, à ce jour, est quelque peu en panne, puisqu'il ne marche pas. Et sans une complémentarité Doha-Washington, il sera très difficile d'avoir sur le terrain des solutions définitives tant que la donne M23 ne sera pas prise en compte. Et donc, la reprise des armes pour le M23, c'est un levier de pression pour pousser Kinshasa à revenir à la table de négociations et à entériner également Doha. Alors, après la prise d'Uvira au Sud-Kivu, le secrétaire d'État américain Marco Rubio a déclaré que c'était une claire violation de l'accord de Washington et que les États-Unis y répondraient. Sous-entendu, il y aurait des sanctions contre le Rwanda. Mais depuis un mois, les Américains n'ont pris aucune mesure. Qu'est-ce que cela vous inspire ? On peut penser déjà qu'il y a une pression sur l'administration américaine pour que les sanctions ne soient pas prises. À Kinshasa, on a pointé du doigt, sans le dire à haute voix, le Qatar, pour que des sanctions ne soient pas prises directement vis-à-vis du Rwanda. Mais on a également une administration américaine qui est, à ce jour, portée par d'autres crises et une attention de moins en moins tournée sur cette question congolaise, avec la dynamique qu'on a au Venezuela, mais également au Moyen-Orient avec l'Iran. Et vous pensez donc que pour les autorités congolaises, peut-être aussi pour les autorités burundaises, le Qatar fait pression sur les États-Unis pour qu'il n'y ait pas de sanctions contre le Rwanda ? Effectivement, je crois que pour Kinshasa et le Burundi, la lecture est très claire : le Qatar a certainement dû peser sur la décision américaine pour ne pas sanctionner le Rwanda. Il y a des enjeux économiques derrière. Le Qatar a énormément investi au Rwanda et donc des sanctions toucheraient aux intérêts également économiques du Qatar. Comment voyez-vous les jours à venir, d'ici la fin de ce mois sur le terrain ? Un enlisement ou peut-être une nouvelle offensive militaire de la part des rebelles du M23 et de leurs alliés rwandais ? Le M23 est en mode observation aujourd'hui. Après la pression américaine sur Uvira, ils laisseront passer la pression. Mais chaque partie s'organise militairement et construit un narratif pour justifier la suite des combats qui pourrait s'étendre cette fois-ci vers le Katanga. L'une des stratégies du Congolais Félix Tshisekedi, c'est d'obtenir un clair soutien des États-Unis contre le Rwanda. Est-ce que cette stratégie peut marcher ou non ? Les États-Unis, pour l'instant, se sont intéressés aux minerais du Congo et ont besoin d'un minimum de stabilité pour faire le partenariat économique. Et donc, c'est un levier sur lequel Kinshasa peut appuyer. Le vrai défi, c'est que vous avez un médiateur américain imprévisible qui est à la fois sur beaucoup de chantiers - le Venezuela, l'Iran, le Groenland - et qui, à un moment donné, sera lui-même enlisé dans une politique intérieure avec les élections de midterm qui viennent. Donc, 2026 peut être une année où la tension américaine sur la crise congolaise peut être réduite. Et donc, à ce moment-là, Kinshasa perdra ce levier américain d'intérêt stratégique sur le conflit.

« Le Baromètre des accords de paix en Afrique a rendu publique lundi, constate le site congolais Actualité.cd, l'évaluation de la mise en œuvre de l'accord de paix de Washington, signé en juin dernier entre la RDC et le Rwanda. Une évaluation qui couvre la période du mois de décembre 2025. » Ses conclusions sont sans appel : « la dynamique observée les mois précédents s'est essoufflée en fin d'année. » En clair, précise Actualité.cd, « malgré l'implication du président américain Donald Trump et l'accélération apparente du processus de Washington — matérialisée par l'entérinement des accords par les présidents Tshisekedi et Kagame — la situation sécuritaire sur le terrain peine à s'améliorer. Kinshasa et Kigali continuent de s'accuser mutuellement de violations des engagements pris, alimentant une méfiance persistante. » Qui plus est, « les discussions de Doha, menées sous l'égide de l'émir du Qatar, connaissent également un net ralentissement. (…) Plusieurs mesures déjà actées, dont le mécanisme de cessez-le-feu, la déclaration de principes et l'accord-cadre, n'ont toujours pas été mises en œuvre. » Pour Kinshasa, pas question de partager le pouvoir « Conflit en RDC : le spectre de l'enlisement », constate également Afrikarabia, site spécialisé sur la RDC. « Les multiples accords signés entre la RDC et les rebelles de l'AFC-M23 n'ont toujours pas réussi à faire taire les armes. Les processus de Washington et de Doha semblent moribonds, la guerre s'installe dans la durée et le président congolais Félix Tshisekedi n'a plus beaucoup de cartes dans son jeu pour reprendre la main. » Certes, précise Afrikarabia, « sur la table, il y a la libération de prisonniers, l'intégration de certains combattants rebelles dans l'armée régulière, mais il y a surtout un partage du pouvoir entre Kinshasa et la rébellion sur l'administration politique, économique et sécuritaire du Nord-Kivu et du Sud-Kivu. Ce que l'AFC-M23 présente comme un "projet fédéraliste". Et cela, Kinshasa n'y est pas du tout disposé, pointe le site, considérant qu'il s'agit, ni plus ni moins, que d'une annexion de l'Est congolais par le Rwanda et ses supplétifs. Félix Tshisekedi s'accroche à la résolution 2773 des Nations unies qui exige un retrait des troupes rwandaises du sol congolais, l'arrêt du soutien de Kigali à l'AFC-M23, et le retrait immédiat des rebelles des zones occupées. Kinshasa estime donc qu'il n'y a rien à négocier avec l'AFC-M23. Le hic, relève encore Afrikarabia, c'est que la réalité du terrain et l'état des rapports de force ne plaident pas en sa faveur. La rébellion n'a jamais contrôlé un territoire aussi vaste. Elle installe ses propres hommes à la tête des administrations et recrute de nouveaux combattants, issus de ses conquêtes territoriales. » « Extrême méfiance » En fait, rebondit Jeune Afrique, « chaque partie s'accuse de mauvaise foi et les débats tournent court. Les mesures de confiance, comme l'échange de prisonniers avec l'aide du Comité international de la Croix-Rouge, n'ont pas encore abouti malgré la signature d'un mécanisme par les deux parties. "Le climat actuel est très tendu, polarisé entre la RDC et l'AFC-M23. Je vois mal comment ils pourront progresser. Il y a une atmosphère d'extrême méfiance des deux côtés", constate une source diplomatique. Malgré l'adhésion aux processus de paix en cours, les deux parties semblent avoir un point commun : elles croient toujours au rapport de force. » Jeune Afrique précise enfin le calendrier diplomatique : « En attendant un nouveau round de négociations au Qatar, les pays de la région ont rendez-vous à Livingstone, en Zambie, aujourd'hui et demain, dans le cadre d'une réunion sécuritaire de la Conférence internationale sur la région des Grands Lacs animée par les ministres de la Défense des 12 pays de l'organisation. Ce sera ensuite au tour de Lomé, au Togo, d'accueillir le 17 janvier une réunion "sur la cohérence et la consolidation du processus de paix en RDC et dans la région des Grands Lacs visant à renforcer la confiance et à faire progresser le processus de paix". » Un intitulé ronflant pour un résultat attendu plutôt mince.
Il y a un mois, le 7 décembre, le président béninois Patrice Talon a échappé à un coup d'État fomenté par une partie de son armée. Un mois plus tard, les commanditaires ne sont toujours pas clairement identifiés, mais le Bénin a expulsé la semaine dernière un agent de renseignement et un policier en poste à l'ambassade du Niger à Cotonou, ce qui a provoqué des représailles de la part du Niger. Est-ce à dire que le Niger pourrait être impliqué dans cette tentative de putsch ? L'éditorialiste Jean-Baptiste Placca répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Jean-Baptiste Placca, ce qui a sauvé le régime du président Patrice Talon, c'est notamment la loyauté de la Garde républicaine du colonel Tévoédjrè. Pourquoi y a-t-il eu cette loyauté au Bénin et pas il y a deux ans au Niger ? Jean-Baptiste Placca : il faut peut-être observer que ce putsch a été fomenté par une toute petite partie d'un seul des cinq principaux corps que compte l'armée béninoise. Ils n'ont pas su convaincre la totalité de leur propre corps, et encore moins d'autres, de les rejoindre. Au Niger, Mohamed Bazoum était de fait un homme seul qui estimait pouvoir faire confiance à une armée qui servait loyalement le régime. Les deux situations ne me semblent pas comparables. Le 7 décembre, le renfort militaire du Nigeria semble avoir été déterminant. Pourquoi ce soutien au régime de Patrice Talon en 2025, et pas au régime de Mohamed Bazoum au Niger en 2023 ? Peut-être que si tous n'avaient pas vécu très mal les désillusions de la chute de Mohamed Bazoum au Niger, ces États ne seraient pas intervenus de la sorte au secours de Patrice Talon. D'une certaine manière, Mohamed Bazoum a sauvé Talon. Les leçons tirées de l'expérience du Niger ont servi le Bénin par rapport à ce qui est arrivé le 7 décembre. Ce dimanche 7 décembre, c'est un groupe de trois pays seulement, le Nigeria, la Côte d'Ivoire, la Sierra Leone qui s'est porté au secours du régime béninois. Est-ce à dire que la Cédéao, c'est terminé ? La Cédéao vit toujours à géométrie variable. Je crois que c'est surtout la solidarité personnelle, entre guillemets, en faveur de Patrice Talon qui a sauvé son régime. Donc pour l'Ivoirien Alassane Ouattara, il n'était pas question de laisser tomber le Béninois Patrice Talon. Non, parce que je pense qu'ils se retrouvent quelque part. Ils se reconnaissent aussi entre États, on va dire francophone, qui ont un certain sérieux à gérer leur pays. Parce que la Côte d'Ivoire est un pays qui évolue, connaît une expansion convaincante comme le Bénin. Et ça rapproche aussi des chefs d'État, c'est-à-dire le sérieux qu'on met à gouverner son pays. Et donc je pense que Alassane Ouattara, et ça n'a pas toujours été le cas, a su, disons, avoir de la sympathie. Ou plutôt Talon a su gagner la sympathie d'Alassane Ouattara. Et c'est tout à fait légitime. On dit qui se ressemble s'assemble dans l'excellence comme dans la médiocrité. On retrouve toujours les mêmes dans les mêmes cas. Depuis un mois, le président béninois Patrice Talon dénonce régulièrement des soutiens extérieurs aux mutins du 7 décembre. Sans doute fait il allusion à ses voisins du Nord, le Burkina Faso et le Niger. Mais est-ce que c'est crédible ? Bon, il est évident que Patrice Talon n'est pas le meilleur ami des pays de l'AES et en particulier du Niger. On imagine que pour accuser de la sorte, il a probablement des éléments qu'il va devoir montrer pour convaincre l'opinion. Et puis probablement viendra le temps des éléments de preuve. On les attend. Et je pense que les Nigériens auraient eu intérêt, effectivement, à ce que le Bénin bascule dans le camp des putschistes, parce que, à ce jour, les importations ou les exportations des Nigériens doivent transiter par le Togo, c'est beaucoup plus long. Ça renchérit le coût de ces marchandises. Et comme le Niger a l'intention de vendre son uranium où il veut, on ne peut pas se balader à travers des zones notamment infestées de djihadistes, avec le « Yellow Cake ». Et le Togo dans tout cela, quel rôle a-t-il pu jouer lors de ce coup d'État manqué ? Alors, à part les informations relatives au transit par Lomé du chef putschiste dans sa fuite, aucune preuve directe n'a été apportée à l'implication du Togo. Les dirigeants togolais semblent assumer leur amitié pour l'AES avec le Niger notamment, mais avec les États de l'AES, en même temps qu'ils cherchent à être médiateurs entre ces pays et les autres. Il n'est pas toujours aisé d'être à la fois acteur et médiateur. Le seul véritable problème du Togo est d'être sans cesse comparé, à ses dépens, au Bénin et au Ghana, ses voisins de l'est et de l'ouest, qui affichent des progrès considérables en termes de développement économique, d'infrastructures et d'évolution démocratique.

Après le Mali, la Guinée, le Burkina Faso, le Niger et fin novembre la Guinée-Bissau, le Bénin a bien failli dimanche dernier (7 décembre 2025) être le théâtre d'un coup d'État militaire... Un groupe de mutins emmené par le lieutenant colonel Pascal Tigri a tenté de prendre le pouvoir en lançant à 2h du matin une série d'attaques contre les domiciles de plusieurs hauts gradés, la résidence du chef de l'État, le Palais présidentiel et le siège de la TV nationale. Les insurgés y ont enregistré un message proclamant la destitution du président Patrice Talon. Mais l'armée régulière est restée républicaine et fidèle à son serment. Après plusieurs heures d'affrontement, le putsch a échoué. Une douzaine d'insurgés ont été arrêtés par les forces béninoises, épaulées par des troupes et l'aviation nigérianes. Mais des dizaines d'autres dont leur chef ont réussi à s'enfuir. Reste beaucoup de questions : le lieutenant colonel Tigri qui se trouverait maintenant à Lomé, au Togo, a-t-il agi de son propre chef ou cette tentative de putsch a-t-elle été commanditée, et par qui ? Cette multiplication des coups d'État ou tentative de coups d'État depuis 5 ans en Afrique de l'Ouest est-elle la conséquence de la menace jihadiste ou traduit-elle un rejet des principes démocratiques ? Quelle est la situation sécuritaire dans la région ? Pourquoi l'alliance des États du Sahel (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger) n'arrive-t-elle pas à endiguer l'expansion des groupes jihadistes ? Que penser de la stratégie d'asphyxie économique de la junte menée depuis septembre au Mali par le JNIM, affilié à al-Qaida à travers un blocus du carburant ? Trois invités : - Niagale Bagayoko, présidente de l'African Security Sector Network - Bakary Sambe, directeur régional du Timbuktu Institute à Dakar - Alain Antil, directeur du Centre Afrique subsaharienne de l'Ifri.
Après l'occupation de la ville d'Uvira par les forces rebelles du M23, la presse congolaise s'en prend vertement au Rwanda : « Kigali poursuit sa folle aventure dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo, dénonce La Tempête des Tropiques à Kinshasa, crachant ainsi sur la communauté internationale et sur les efforts diplomatiques consentis par les États-Unis et le Qatar. (…) Tout porte à croire que les rebelles auraient bénéficié de nouveaux renforts de l'armée rwandaise, avec pour objectif d'élargir le champ d'occupation, violant ainsi ouvertement l'Accord de paix signé le 4 décembre dernier, à Washington, en présence de Donald Trump et de plusieurs dirigeants de la région. » D'ailleurs, la communauté internationale hausse le ton également contre Kigali, relève le site congolais Actualité CD : aux États-Unis, « la majorité républicaine de la Commission des affaires étrangères de la Chambre des représentants a appelé hier à tenir “pleinement responsable“ le Rwanda des engagements pris avec la RDC lors de la signature des Accords de Washington la semaine dernière. “Ces engagements ne sont pas optionnels, et les États-Unis s'attendent à ce qu'ils soient appliqués“, a déclaré la commission, exhortant les dirigeants internationaux à “condamner sans réserve“ les actions de Kigali. (…) Plus tôt, rapporte encore Actualité CD, le Groupe de contact international pour les Grands Lacs – réunissant les États-Unis et l'Union européenne sous présidence allemande – s'est dit “profondément préoccupé“ par la nouvelle offensive du M23. » L'accord de paix piétiné… Pour les autorités congolaises, l'implication du Rwanda n'est plus à démontrer… « Aux yeux de Kinshasa, rapporte Le Monde Afrique, seul l'engagement de l'armée rwandaise a permis l'offensive sur Uvira. Lundi, le président congolais, Félix Tshisekedi, a accusé Kigali de “violer ses engagements“ pris à Washington. “Au lendemain même de la signature, des unités des forces de défense du Rwanda ont conduit et appuyé des attaques à l'arme lourde“, a-t-il dénoncé dans son discours annuel à la nation. Une très bonne source internationale au cœur du dossier, pointe encore Le Monde Afrique, affirme que l'ordre de l'assaut contre Uvira a été pris “au plus haut niveau de l'Etat rwandais avant même le 4 décembre“. Un autre interlocuteur note l'utilisation, ces derniers jours, sur le champ de bataille “de brouilleurs d'ondes de haute technologie, de lance-roquettes multiples, de mortiers de 120 mm guidés par GPS et de drones. Autant d'équipements et d'actions, ajoute-t-il, qui dépassent les capacités du M23“. » Qui plus est, croit savoir Le Monde Afrique, le dernier rapport des experts des Nations unies sur la RDC, qui sera publié prochainement, est accablant. Ce rapport « souligne en effet “la poursuite du déploiement de forces rwandaises au-delà de leurs frontières, le renforcement de leur présence au Nord et Sud-Kivu, positionnées sur les lignes de front et participant directement aux combats“. Les experts estiment qu'entre 6.000 et 7.000 militaires rwandais – “soit deux brigades et deux bataillons de forces spéciales“ – sont déployées dans les deux provinces. Kigali continue de nier sa présence en RDC, reconnaissant seulement l'existence de “mesures défensives“ sur sa frontière. » Des milliers de réfugiés… Conséquence de la chute d'Uvira : « le flot des déplacés submerge le Burundi » voisin… C'est ce que constate Le Journal de Kinshasa. « Des milliers de personnes ont franchi la frontière ces derniers jours, fuyant l'avancée des combattants de l'AFC-M23 à Uvira. Silhouettes courbées sous le poids de ballots précipités, ces civils cherchent un refuge immédiat. La frontière burundaise s'est rapidement transformée en un espace d'accueil, étroit mais vital. Sur place, l'urgence est totale. Les équipes du HCR et de l'Office national burundais de protection des réfugiés se mobilisent pour organiser les arrivées et protéger les déplacés. (…) La vie de milliers de personnes, soupire Le Journal de Kinshasa, dépend désormais de la capacité du Burundi à leur tendre la main. La réponse de la communauté internationale reste cruciale, alors que le monde risque de détourner le regard. » Tigri au Togo ? Enfin, les suites de la tentative de coup d'Etat au Bénin. D'après Jeune Afrique, « l'instigateur présumé du putsch, le lieutenant-colonel Pascal Tigri aurait trouvé refuge au Togo, à Lomé, en franchissant le fleuve Mono. Il aurait ensuite été hébergé dans le quartier de Lomé 2. » Toujours d'après Jeune Afrique, « Cotonou va demander son extradition. Contactée par le site panafricain, une source proche du président togolais Faure Gnassingbé dit ne pas être informée de cette situation. »
Des courts métrages sénégalais pour la première fois visibles au cinéma. Cela se passe à Dakar. Depuis une semaine, quatre films de jeunes cinéastes africains sont projetés deux fois par semaine, le mardi et le jeudi dans les deux grandes salles de la capitale. Le Pathé et le Seanema et suivi d'un débat avec le public. L'occasion jusqu'au 11 décembre de voir le travail de tout jeunes cinéastes qui seront peut-être les grands noms de demain. Kaay Seetaan, (« Viens voir ») en wolof, s'affiche en lettres capitales sur le grand écran. Installé dans un fauteuil de la salle obscure, Armand Komla Sousou 27 ans, originaire du Togo, formé à la réalisation à Lomé puis à Dakar à l'écriture du scénario, peine encore à y croire. Voir son premier film, Marco au cinéma, c'est : « Fabuleux. Je me rappelle encore écrire dans ma petite chambre d'étudiant un scénario et du jour au lendemain le voir porter à l'écran avec des gens qui ont des étoiles dans les yeux, c'est juste fabuleux. » Penda Seck, elle, s'est essayée au métier de réalisatrice et elle aussi est encore émerveillée de l'apprentissage qu'elle vient de faire après cinq mois de formation, à tout juste 22 ans : « Quand tu te retrouves pour la première fois sur un plateau et qu'il y a près de quarante personnes et que tu dois parler à tout le monde en gardant son sang-froid et bien gérer une équipe. Avoir une bonne ambiance sur le plateau, et tout ça pour une première fois : c'est énorme. » « Ça peut être des films d'horreur » Apprendre, c'est bien l'enjeu de cette formation en cinq mois. Financé par la coopération culturelle britannique (le British Council) Le Film Lab, c'est son nom, veut professionnaliser un secteur en pleine expansion, comme l'explique Chloé Orthole Diop-productrice elle-même et qui a supervisé la formation : « Au Sénégal, on est très bon en technique et cinéma, mais pas assez de technicien, en particulier en son, en image et en production. C'est ça qu'on a identifié comme les terrains prioritaires à former. » En tout, seize jeunes, des Sénégalais pour l'essentiel, ont été formés aux métiers de chef opérateur, prise du son, mais aussi compositeur de musique de film ou encore scénariste et réalisateur. Un côté laboratoire que Penda Seck, directrice artistique jusqu'ici, a particulièrement apprécié en tant que réalisatrice : « Tu peux avoir envie de faire autre chose et autre chose, ça peut être des films d'horreur ou du cinéma expérimental. Ce n'est pas parce que je suis Africaine que je ne peux pas faire un film d'horreur. » Au final, c'est le drame psychologique que la jeune femme a exploré. Une histoire très personnelle sur la dépression et le poids du silence qui pèse encore trop souvent au Sénégal sur les femmes mariées qui se doivent d'être des épouses exemplaires.

Les femmes et les hommes ne sont pas égaux face à l'alcool. Si elles sont exposées aux mêmes risques que les hommes, les complications sont plus graves, plus rapides, et parfois spécifiques. Ainsi, l'alcool est l'un des principaux facteurs de risque pour le cancer du sein et causerait ainsi près de 40 000 nouveaux cas par an. L'alcoolisation rend les femmes plus vulnérables aux violences et aux violences sexuelles. Les tabous entourant l'alcoolisme au féminin et les représentations portées sur cette dépendance nuisent à l'expression de la maladie, comme à sa prise en charge. Comment la consommation d'alcool chez les femmes évolue-t-elle ? Comment expliquer la plus grande vulnérabilité féminine face à ces substances ? Quel accompagnement et quelles prises en charge existent ?

Legend of Elements is a 3D idle RPG from the LoM lineage. Core fantasy is “numbers go up,” delivered via auto-progress + layered upgrades, then monetized through stacked gachas and step offers. Ads exist but are effectively a decoy; there isn't even a “remove ads” pack. UA is ~98% Google (YouTube + AdWords) with AI/UGC and “fake gameplay” motifs.Systems & sinks (what actually drives playtime/spend)• Two gachas: character (spirits) and skill, with very low SSR rates; also ad-summon entries (“2 free summons for an ad”).• “Online chest”: ~5x/day random gacha ticks, granted every ~5 minutes online.• 3–4 battle passes active during launch window; heavy event stack and daily quests.• Notification-baiting tactic: tiny “free” rewards (e.g., 5 soft-currency) inside every shop/offer to create badge-clearing behavior and force shop opens.Monetization architecture (how money happens)• Ads are a decoy to lift IAP; no VIP/no-ads pack to sell the removal.• Primary pay drivers: gachas + step offers (offer ladders surfaced early/often).• Panel consensus: at ~$100K/day IAP scale, there's little incentive to optimize ads.UA mix & creatives (why it scales on Google)• ~98% of impressions from YouTube + AdWords; almost nothing elsewhere.• Creative pillars: AI faces/VO, UGC narratives, meme remakes, Genshin/Diablo-style “fake gameplay.”• Uses creator placements (e.g., known Supercell YouTubers featured as ad talent).Servers & competitive pressure (why shard)• Thousands of small shards opened continuously; servers “die,” then merge, resetting the race.• Keep leaderboards small so winning feels plausible; too many whales per shard depresses motivation.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investorsFor an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.With Playablemaker, you can finally create playable and interactive adsNO-CODE + ON-BUDGET + LIGHTNING FASThttps://playablemaker.com/25gamersThis is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

The hotly-anticipated return to THE BOUNTY HUNTER WARS by K.W. Jeter begins with the first four chapters of HARD MERCHANDISE. I was hotly anticipating it, anyway. And we've got a lot of catching up to do: Zuckuss and 4-LOM, Bossk, Neelah, Dengar, and of course, Boba Fett. But first: The Mask of Fear, sandtroopers, and albino hyenas. This week's Article From the Archives: Jih-tan Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/ea6UDt1An#
Join Those Old Fossils for the 4th Bounty Hunter Capture Pod, this time covering the duo of 4-LOM and Zuckuss, as well as the reveal of the results of our mini Committee, ranking the 5 bounty hunter action figures we have covered so far. The team open with a discussion the upcoming Oberon and Vectis auctions happening in October. Moving on to 4-LOM and Zuckuss, we cover the characters, the Kenner name swap. the 4-LOM mail-away offer, share thoughts on the figures, the card backs, the multipacks, and the lack of beyond the toys items featuring the characters. Ron Salvatore from the Star Wars Collectors Archive provides a Rebel Alliance Briefing on the 2 figures, and Mark Andrews from The Variant Villains is back to talk figures variations. No rock is left unturned in our comprehensive overview of these 2 bug eyed bounty hunters.
L'arrivée de la nouvelle administration Trump début 2025 a sonné la fin de l'USAID, l'agence du gouvernement des États-Unis chargée du développement économique et de l'aide humanitaire dans le monde. Selon une étude publiée par The Lancet le 1ᵉʳ juillet, l'effondrement des financements américains qui étaient dédiés à l'aide internationale pourrait entraîner la mort de plus de 14 millions de personnes. Quelles répercussions concrètes cela a sur le terrain pour les acteurs de santé ? Nous posons la question à des activistes de santé en Afrique.

Douleurs abdominales vives et persistantes, fièvre... Ces symptômes assez vagues peuvent recouvrir une multitude de pathologies, parmi lesquelles la crise d'appendicite. La péritonite aiguë est une inflammation locale ou diffuse de la membrane péritonéale. L'appendicite aiguë et la péritonite sont deux urgences médicales qui requièrent une intervention chirurgicale. Souvent confondues, ces deux affections qui concernent l'abdomen sont bien différentes, quoiqu'elles puissent être liées. (Rediffusion) Quels sont les signes ? Concernant l'appendicite, de quel côté a-t-on mal au ventre ? Quels sont les traitements ? Doit-on systématiquement opérer ? Pr Richard Douard, chirurgien viscéral à la Clinique Bizet, Paris Pr Boyodi Tchangai, chef du service de Chirurgie viscérale au CHU Sylvanus Olympio de Lomé au Togo. ► En fin d'émission, nous parlerons de la prise en charge du pied bot en République du Congo et plus particulièrement du travail réalisé par l'association ADRBE (Association pour le Développement et la Réadaptation du Bien-Être) avec son responsable, Thomas Robert Mbemba, kinésithérapeute et coordinateur du Programme Pied Bot CONGO au sein de l'association.

This week we're finally getting serious and doing some deep reflection discussing 2 of our favorite things in the galaxy, the bug head bounty hunter buddies, ZUCKUSS and 4-LOM. It'a all about the legend of 4-LOM and Zuckuss, the behind the scenes story, the myths and mystery surrounding them, what they teach us about ourselves and why we were too scared to eat an eclair from Mrs. 4-LOM in Japan. Plus - Star Wars 77 returning to theaters in 1 year and 8 months?! We're making plans! So take a photo of 4-LOM's crotch, listen today and celebrate the love!
