1911 Gold Corporation Chairman Gary O'Connor joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the start of a 2,200-metre diamond drilling program at the Ogama-Rockland gold deposit, located southeast of the company's True North Gold Project. The program has already commenced, with one surface diamond drill rig mobilized to site. The drilling campaign is designed to support both resource expansion and confirmation, as the company continues to advance its understanding of the Ogama-Rockland deposit and its potential integration with existing infrastructure at True North. The Ogama-Rockland gold deposit currently hosts an NI 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource of approximately 1.28 million tonnes grading 8.17 grams per tonne gold, containing an estimated 337,000 ounces of gold. O'Connor emphasized that the deposit's high-grade nature and shallow mineralization make it an attractive near-term development opportunity. According to O'Connor, the planned eight drill holes will focus on confirming the updated geological model and testing extensions of high-grade, quartz-vein-hosted gold mineralization at relatively shallow depths. Drilling will target both down-dip and along-strike extensions of the main vein system, as well as newly identified parallel structures that emerged from recent relogging and resampling of historical drill core and updated geological modelling. In addition to expanding the resource base, the company plans to conduct metallurgical test work on drill core samples collected during the program. This testing will evaluate the suitability of processing material from Ogama-Rockland at the existing True North processing facility, potentially providing a streamlined development pathway and capital efficiencies. Following completion of the drill program and analysis of the results, 1911 Gold plans to deliver an updated underground mineral resource estimate in the first half of 2026. The company views this program as an important step in unlocking additional value at Ogama-Rockland while leveraging its established infrastructure at the broader True North project. #proactiveinvestors #1911goldcorporation #1911gold #tsxv #aumb #otcqx #aumbf #GoldExploration #MiningNews #TrueNorthGold #OgamaRockland #DrillingUpdate #PEA #ResourceUpdate #GoldMiningCanada #TSXV #JuniorMining

Power Metallic Mines CEO Terry Lynch joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's ongoing drilling activities and its planned listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Lynch noted that although the listing process experienced a brief delay due to the U.S. government shutdown, the company now expects to debut in New York in January. “They'll start the new year off with a bang in New York,” he said. At the company's recent annual general meeting, shareholders raised concerns about the recent decline in share price. Lynch attributed the drop to broader market conditions and a fund sell-off, despite strong operational news. He emphasized that the company's fundamentals remain robust and that investor interest has strengthened in recent weeks. Power Metallic Mines is currently executing a large-scale 100,000-metre drill program with five rigs active and additional rigs—potentially a sixth or seventh—expected to join. Assay results from this summer's drilling campaign are anticipated shortly after American Thanksgiving. The company continues to expand its resource base across four key targets and advance toward future development milestones. “We're bullish on all of them,” Lynch said, underscoring confidence in the projects currently being drilled. #proactiveinvestors #powernickelinc #tsxv #pnpn #otcqb #cmetf #nickel #mining #invest #investing #PowerMetallicMines #MiningIndustry #PolymetallicExploration #Copper #Nickel #TSXVenture #TerryLynch #ProactiveInvestors #InstitutionalInvestment #Gold #Silver

Up to the 18th century, making and trading things was harder than it needed to be. You had to deal with a bewildering patchwork of local constants and norms. It was actually the French Revolution & administrators who came out of it that started to codify how we measure things. The standards they adopted were ultimately formalized in 1875 at a Convention  whose name you may recognize, the Metre - or should I say Meter -  Convention.  The Standard set at the convention spread beyond France to most of Europe, removing friction in commerce and everyday life. Engineers could spec parts to the same tolerances; pharmacists could dose reliably across borders; food producers could print consistent nutritional labels; shipbuilders and container makers could agree on common dimensions; and architects and builders could order materials that matched on site. Over decades that shared language of measurement turned local guesswork into dependable infrastructure for industry, science and trade. Today, About 95% of the world's population lives in countries that have officially adopted the metric system. "Metric" in that sense solved disagreement about how much — it replaced local guesswork with a shared language of measurement so engineers, traders and regulators could trust one another. Businesses face the same problem today — only the units have changed. Instead of metres and kilograms, modern organizations trade in clicks, sessions, impressions, cost, conversions and revenue. These are the metrics that power decisions, budgets and boardroom arguments. If one team's "conversion" counts form submissions, another's counts purchase intents, and a third's counts paid signups, you get the same mess Europe lived with before standardization: wasted effort, mistrust, and bad decisions. That's why the digital-era equivalent of adopting the metric system matters: a single, governed vocabulary of business metrics (clear definitions, lineage, owners and calculational rules). Give everyone the same definition of "revenue," "LTV," or "ROAS" — and the same ability to trace where those numbers came from — and you turn noisy arguments into aligned action. In short: standardize the units, restore trust in the numbers, and your dashboards start to behave like the modern factories that metrication once enabled for Europe. Turn to how many marketing teams are now constrained by the disparate marketing measures we have - it's the choke-point preventing us from sharing dashboards between groups, asking bigger questions, and getting full bang for money spent on our analytics infrastructures. If we're going to keep our sanity, we must get on with Metricizing our metrics. Going down a path where business metrics are treated as standardized units opens up possibilities as big as the Metric System opened up for our global economy.  Our guest is a Proud Swiss-Canadian, technologist and entrepreneur. In 2001 he co-founded analytics software company Klipfolio, one of whose products aims to address metric management. Note that I'm having him on today to give his personal perspective - there's no sponsor or affiliate relationship here. When he's not working in or talking about analytics, you'll find him cycling in the city we both call home.

BW Epic Kosan (BWEK), a world leader in LPG, petrochemicals and speciality gas transportation, has signed an agreement with bound4blue for the installation of a 24 metre tall eSAIL suction sail on the 2007-buit Helena Kosan. The autonomous wind propulsion system, to be installed in 2026, will allow BWEK to save fuel, cut emissions, reduce costs and simplify regulatory compliance, as the Singapore-based company invests to support industry decarbonisation goals. Suction sail uses LPG to power tankers Safe, simple sailing "The tanker and LPG market is a key growth area for bound4blue, so it's fantastic to agree a contract with the world leader in last-mile delivery of LPG, petrochemicals and other specialty gases," comments José Miguel Bermúdez, CEO & Co-founder, bound4blue. "Our mechanically simple solution delivers unique benefits for the segment, with the ability to position the sail's maintenance door far above the deck and thus entirely remove the system from hazardous areas. This means non-explosion proof units can be installed easily on a vessel such as an LPG carrier, or any other tanker, negating the need for more costly, complex ATEX-proof solutions." "When this simplicity is added to the proven performance and benefits of the system, which is also compact in size due to its exceptional propulsive efficiency, you have a technology perfectly suited to help owners such as BWEK meet ambitious commercial and environmental goals. We're thrilled to partner with the team for this exciting project." Market benefits The DNV Type Approved eSAIL works by dragging air across an aerodynamic surface to generate lift up to seven times greater than rigid sails of the same size, delivering greater power through smaller vessel footprints. In doing so, fuel use and emissions are reduced, easing compliance with regulations such as EU ETS, CII, FuelEU Maritime (with additional benefits through the wind reward factor) and the newly proposed IMO GFI framework. Recent orders for eSAILs have been placed by companies such as Maersk Tankers, Marflet Marine and Klaveness Combination Carriers, with new installations completed for Odfjell, Eastern Pacific Shipping and Louis Dreyfus Company. Investing in the future "We are committed to investing in proven technology that supports and enables our drive to reduce operational environmental footprints," explains Jakob Bode, CEO, BWEK. "We have so far introduced a range of innovations including ultrasonic transducers, graphene-based propeller coatings and advanced weather routing to cut emissions and empower efficiencies, in addition to actively participating in projects to advance the adoption of green fuels such as ammonia." "Wind power was identified as having potential and, after careful studies, bound4blue's eSAIL was selected as the system of choice. We look forward to benefitting from its simplicity and efficacy in action on the Helena Kosan from 2026 onwards." Plug and play The installation will be carried out in a simple two-step process, with preparatory work conducted at a scheduled dry docking in 2025 and a 'plug and play' fitting of the unit the following year. bound4blue's eSAILs are suitable for both newbuilds and retrofitting across the vast majority of vessel segments, including, but not limited to, Tankers, Bulkers, Ro-Ros, Cruise ships, Ferries, Gas Carriers, and General Cargo vessels. The technology offers a typical payback period of less than five years. bound4blue About bound4blue bound4blue develops automated wind-assisted propulsion systems as a turnkey solution for all shipowners and shipping companies seeking to reduce fuel costs and polluting emissions. bound4blue's eSAIL system is a validated solution for saving fuel and emissions, completely autonomous, with low maintenance and easy installation onboard, being the most cost-efficient wind propulsion technology today. It is suitable for Tankers, Bulkers, Ro-Ros, Cruise Ships, Ferries, Gas Carriers, and General Cargo vessels,...

El Baròmetre Bicicleta 2025 vol recollir l'opinió dels ciclistes d'arreu de l'estat francès per avaluar les infraestructures creades pel transport en bicicleta a tot l'estat, seguint els criteris de seguretat a les carreteres i pistes ciclistes, la qualitat dels equipaments i de la senyalització, així com la disponibilitat dels aparcaments i serveis per a bicicletes. L'última edició d'aquest baròmetre va ser el 2021 i va tenir 277.000 respostes de 1.620 municipis arreu de l'estat, convertint-se en l'enquesta ciutadana més gran del món sobre el ciclisme.

The next time you pick up a bag of spuds from the supermarket or fill up the car with petrol, you can thank the Treaty of the Metre for the metric system that underpins daily life.The treaty was signed exactly 150 years ago, when delegates from 17 countries gathered on a Parisian spring day to establish a new and standardised way of measuring the world around us.But the metre's inception predates the treaty that bears its name by nearly 100 years. So how did it come about, and how has its definition changed over the centuries?

It's 150 years today since the Metre Convention was signed - a pretty radical initiative at the time that had a massive global impact.

Paul Van Metre was the co-founder of a successful machine shop that manufactured custom parts for the aerospace and medical device industries. Over 15 years, they created and improved software to run their entire business, which created huge efficiencies and helped them manage their growth. They sold that business in 2014 to focus on selling their complete software platform, called ProShop, to other forward-thinking machine shops.  ProShop is now one of North America's leading ERP (enterprise resource planning) software platforms for machine shops. The software manages every aspect of a machine shop business, from orders, finances, inventory, and shop floor operations.  The company grew quickly with no outside funding as happy customers spread the word in their industry. Their software company focuses on processes, customer service, and company culture. In 2024, ProShop received a $32 million growth equity investment from Mainsail Partners, which allowed the founders to take money off the table and fund new growth.  Learn more at practicalfounders.com.
