Ronald Stöferle: Gold has Entered the Public Participation Phase

Ronnie Stöferle, researcher and fund manager at Incrementum and author of the In Gold We Trust report, emphasizes that gold remains a critical asset as its role evolves alongside shifting global dynamics. Over nearly two decades, Stöferle has observed significant changes in how gold is perceived and demanded, particularly driven by emerging markets like Saudi Arabia, India, China, and Turkey. These regions now account for the majority of physical gold demand, both from central banks and private investors, underscoring a growing recognition of gold's value as a safe haven and store of wealth. Stöferle highlights that while gold is often seen as low volatility, it is currently in the "public participation phase" of its bull market cycle. This phase is characterized by increased media attention, higher price forecasts, and broader acceptance into investment portfolios. Despite gold's recent rise to around $3,300 per ounce, Stoferle maintains a bullish outlook, projecting a long-term target of $4,800 by the end of the decade. He attributes this confidence to underappreciated demand from emerging markets and growing skepticism toward traditional financial systems. The discussion also delves into the distinction between "safe haven gold" (physical gold stored securely) and "performance gold" (silver mining stocks and commodities). Stöferle suggests that while physical gold serves as a defensive hedge, performance gold offers higher potential returns. However, he cautions investors to actively time their exposure to these assets due to their volatility. Additionally, Stöferle addresses the role of Bitcoin alongside gold, viewing it as a complementary asset within a broader portfolio diversification strategy. He notes that while Bitcoin faces skepticism from traditional financial institutions, its adoption is steadily gaining traction, particularly among younger investors.

In today's episode, we are delving into the otherside of corporate greenwashing, moving away from how governments regulate corporations against greenwashing and towards how corporations also sometimes use legal tools against activists, journalists, and organisations fighting for environmental justice. These lawsuits are called SLAPPs, which stand for Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. But it is also quite an apt term that perfectly captures the impact of these lawsuits. SLAPPs are increasingly used by corporations and other powerful actors to intimidate and silence opposition and critics, raising some serious concerns about free speech, public interest advocacy, and corporate accountability.

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Joshua Aikens from Zonos as we explore this essential question ahead of the Housing Action Coalition Forum on October 30th. Joshua brings a wealth of experience from the tech industry and shares his nuanced perspective on the often-overlooked requirements of renters in Washington County.

Administrative Law: Introduction to Administrative Law

1. Administrative Agencies and Their Functions: Administrative agencies are independent entities established by the government to carry out specific functions and implement public policies. They play a vital role in regulating various aspects of society, such as environmental protection, healthcare, consumer safety, and financial markets. Agencies exercise quasi-legislative, quasi-executive, and quasi-judicial powers, enabling them to create rules, adjudicate disputes, and enforce laws. 2. The Rulemaking Process: Administrative agencies have the authority to promulgate regulations, which are binding rules that have the force of law. The rulemaking process typically involves several steps, including public notice, comment period, and final rule publication. Agencies must comply with procedural requirements and provide a reasoned explanation for their decisions when issuing regulations. 3. Adjudication and Enforcement: Agencies also have the power to adjudicate disputes and enforce laws within their jurisdiction. Adjudicatory proceedings involve formal hearings, where evidence is presented and a decision is made by an administrative law judge. Agencies can impose sanctions, such as fines, license suspensions, or cease-and-desist orders, for violations of their regulations. 4. Judicial Review: Decisions made by administrative agencies are subject to judicial review by the courts. Individuals or entities affected by an agency's action can challenge its legality, fairness, or procedural compliance in court. The courts can review the agency's record, consider legal arguments, and overturn or remand the agency's decision if necessary. 5. Public Participation and Transparency: Administrative Law recognizes the importance of public participation in the decision-making process. Agencies are required to provide opportunities for public comment during the rulemaking process and to consider public input when making decisions. Transparency is crucial to ensure accountability and legitimacy in administrative actions. 6. Balancing Interests and Expertise: Administrative agencies often have to balance competing interests and consider complex technical issues when making decisions. They rely on their specialized knowledge and expertise to develop evidence-based regulations and policies. Agencies must strive to achieve a fair and equitable outcome while fulfilling their statutory mandates. 7. The Growth of Administrative Law: The scope of Administrative Law has expanded significantly in recent decades due to the increasing complexity of modern society and the need for specialized regulation. Agencies play a crucial role in addressing contemporary challenges such as climate change, cybersecurity, and healthcare reform. 8. Challenges and Criticisms: Administrative Law is not without its challenges, including concerns about bureaucratic inefficiency, lack of democratic accountability, and potential regulatory overreach. Critics argue that agencies may become too powerful and insulated from public scrutiny. 9. Global Perspectives: Administrative Law is not unique to the United States; many countries have their own systems of administrative law and regulation. Comparative studies of administrative law can provide insights into different approaches to governance and regulatory frameworks. 10. Future Developments: The future of Administrative Law is likely to be shaped by technological advancements, globalization, and evolving societal values. Agencies will need to adapt to new challenges and opportunities while maintaining their commitment to fairness, transparency, and the public interest. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Known for merging powerful perspective shifts with actionable insights, Ruth brings a unique blend of experience to her work as a relevance strategist for arts organizations.Currently serving as Chief of Staff at the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation, Ruth previously spent nearly two decades in the arts sector as an opera singer, choral director, and music educator.Drawing on 23 years of experience in the cultural and nonprofit sectors, including six years' immersion in innovation frameworks, Ruth helps arts organizations rethink audience development and arts marketing through a customer-centric lens.Her perspective as a relevance strategist has been shaped by her unique journey: growing up in blue-collar Maine, convincing teenagers to love choral music, training and performing as an opera singer, engaging with donors and opera patrons, and supporting the research of a Harvard Business School professor.This diverse range of experience provides Ruth with a distinctly empathetic and inclusive viewpoint, enabling her to connect with and advocate for a wide range of stakeholders in the arts industry.Find at more about the workshops: http://www.cultureforhire.com/a-path-forwardFind the slide deck: https://www.cultureforhire.com/articles/82-22 Listen to Ruth's original podcast appearance in Episode 169! Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/tC3fv_7EKY8 The Music (ed) Matters Podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Perform International.

China cut graphite imports to the US, worrying EV carmakers. Can Canada come to the rescue?

If the US is going to supercharge its production of electric vehicles and its batteries, it's going to need a lot more graphite.Graphite is a key battery component, and currently, much of the supply comes from China — particularly when it comes to the highly processed form used in electric vehicles (EV). Amid increasing tensions, the Chinese government placed new export controls on shipments of graphite on Dec. 1. And the recent move is getting attention in North America, where companies are eyeing graphite deposits that could feed the domestic supply chain. Some 30 miles outside Nome, supplies for Graphite One's remote mining exploration camp wait at a staging area the company uses for its helicopters.

Lisa Murkowski traveled to the area, to what the US Geological Survey says is the country's largest graphite deposit. She flew in by helicopter to the remote site tucked between mountains and a huge tidal estuary.There, she visited an exploration camp that belongs to a Canadian company, Graphite One. With help from the US government, it could one day become the site of a mile-wide, open pit mine. In Nome, US Sen. Lisa Murkowski walks away from a helicopter that flew her to the Graphite One project, a mining exploration camp that the Canadian company is developing to build an open pit graphite mine. Credit: Berett Wilber/The World While construction is still years away, the project is getting a grant of nearly $40 million from the US Department of Defense to speed up its development — a step that Murkowski supported.“If we're going to talk electric vehicles, if we're going to talk about the contents of your cell phone, you're going to want graphite,” she said in a video she later posted to social media. “You're going to want American graphite. And why not Alaskan graphite?”Graphite One is among a number of mining companies developing new mineral deposits in Alaska. And while this work is supported by the US government, many of the companies are headquartered in Canada or elsewhere.Gracelin Baskaran, a mining economist at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the US has not focused on mining in “a very long time.”“We have actually turned to companies like Rio Tinto, Anglo American, BHP,” she said. “We turn to these giant mining companies, and sometimes we forget that they're not American.”Some of the Indigenous people with ties to the area of the Alaska graphite deposit would rather see the graphite stay in the ground. Teller and Brevig Mission are the two Iñupiaq villages nearby, and Brevig Mission is only accessible by plane or boat. The nearest full-sized grocery store is 70 miles away, so many residents subsist on harvests of salmon, moose and berries in the vicinity of Graphite One's project. The main store in Teller lacks fresh produce and charges steep prices for groceries, making hunting and fishing essential for the village's Iñupiaq residents. Credit: Nathaniel Herz/The World “The further they go into the mine, our subsistence is just going to move further and further away from us,” said Gilbert Tocktoo, president of Brevig Mission's tribal government. “Sooner or later, it's going to become a question of: Do I want to live here anymore? Or do I want to make a choice to move?”Graphite itself isn't toxic, but Graphite One is still examining whether mining it could generate heavy metals. The mining techniques under consideration pose a relatively low risk, said Dave Chambers, president of the Montana-based Center for Science in Public Participation, which provides technical assistance to tribal and advocacy groups on mining issues. But, he added, that doesn't mean “no risk.”“There is always a possibility for some sort of catastrophic failure — but that doesn't happen very often,” he said. “There's also a possibility there will be no impact — that doesn't happen very often, either.”Some residents of the nearby villages say they're open to the development.“If it's good and clean, so be it — it's money,” said Nick Topkok, a Teller resident.Topkok, who was taking a break from hanging salmon to dry on the beach in his village of Teller, said he doesn't oppose Graphite One. Four in 10 residents live in poverty in Teller, and Topkok said a mine would create jobs in a place that needs them badly.

Salmon are an essential food source for Teller residents, who must drive 70 miles on a gravel road to reach affordable groceries. Credit: Berett Wilber/The World He said it also might help the town finally get running water and sewer systems for the homes there; right now, nearly everyone in town uses what's known as honey buckets for their toilets.“It's money for 50 years or more,” he said. “I'll be dead by then. But it'll affect my kids financially.”Topkok's kids aren't in Teller right now. He said they moved away because there are no jobs in town. He's done some work driving boats for Graphite One in the past. And he said he thinks the mine can coexist with the locals and their fish and game harvests.“Anchorage, Alaska, you've got moose running around, you've got bears running around, they'll be adapted, you know,” he said. “It's going to take a year or two, and they'll be right there.”Graphite One's mine, if it's opened, would benefit the area economically. A regional Indigenous-owned corporation recently said it would invest $2 million in the project.But, ultimately, it's a foreign mining company that will be calling the shots — because Graphite One has the mining rights to the land, not Indigenous corporations or tribal governments. The Tuksuk Channel, which reaches inland to the Imuruk Basin and its surrounding tundra, is a vital area for harvests by residents of the nearby Iñupiaq villages of Brevig Mission and Teller. Credit: Berett Wilber/The World Graphite One's Canadian chief executive, Anthony Huston, pointed out that the project would come with other benefits: training, jobs and college scholarships.“I think to myself, ‘What can I do to give these people the potential for a job one day, the potential to put gas in their ski-doo, to be able to live and work and stay in their village, if that's what they choose to do?'” he said. “And that's where I see Graphite One really stepping in.”Huston said he understands the importance of protecting the environment and locals' subsistence harvests — and the company has spent some money to back up that commitment. Earlier this year, it decided to fly in fuel to its remote camp rather than barging it through an environmentally sensitive channel, which would have been cheaper. But objections remain. Conservation groups have challenged other large Alaska mining projects in the courts, and at least one has already expressed opposition to Graphite One. Company officials say they expect intense battles over permitting in the years to come.An earlier version of this story was produced by Northern Journal, APM Reports and Alaska Public Media as part of the Public Media Accountability Initiative, which supports investigative reporting at local media outlets around the country.

As AI presents technical and engineering innovations, the systems present fundamental risks to people, their families, and their communities. Public participation in AI will not be easy. But there are foundational lessons to apply from other domains. Author and legal scholar Michele Gilman's latest policy brief, Democratizing AI: Principles for Meaningful Public Participation, builds on a comprehensive review of evidence from public participation efforts in anti-poverty programs and environmental policy that summarizes evidence-based recommendations for how to better structure public participation processes for AI. To discuss the policy brief, we invited Michele Gilman to be in conversation with Harini Suresh, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Brown University, and Richard Wingfield, Director of Technology and Human Rights at BSR. This conversation was moderated by D&S Participatory Methods Researcher, Meg Young, and D&S Policy Director, Brian Chen.

Rollan started his career at the bottom working his way through college, and eventually getting his Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Liberty University and Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) from California InterContinental University. He has led small and large companies and helped underserved people start businesses around the world. He believes that entrepreneurship is the single, greatest economic engine on earth that levels the playing field and does not discriminate. He has extensive experience with good governance, infrastructure, foreign affairs, education, and diplomacy. He served with former Congresspeople and Ambassadors on a U.S. Delegation to South Sudan in 2021 and 2022 where he assisted with the stabilization of the transitional to permanent government. Previously, he has served as an advisor to national governments on matters of diplomacy, national security, entrepreneurship, education, clean water, wastewater, and waste-to-energy infrastructure. His mission has been to solve complex systematic and structural problems for access to clean water, business and literacy education, and food security in Africa to accelerate the transformation of Africa's economic, technology, education, social welfare, and healthcare sectors.  It was through these efforts that the burden and calling for leading America 2.0 to prepare the ground for an America capable of leading the 22nd century was birthed. The more time he spent in Africa, the more glaring were the cracks and threat to America's global leadership position that the current rut of vile political discourse does not address or secure for our continued global leadership into the 22nd century.  He has written books, created entrepreneurship programs, women's empowerment and vocational trainings, and individual mentorship programs to empower people from all walks of life.

Regional demand for renewable hydropower from the Mekong River and its tributaries in Laos is on the rise. In June 2022, Laos exported one hundred megawatts of hydropower to Singapore via Thailand and Malaysia – a historic milestone that further establishes Laos as the battery of Asia. However, these developments take place amid rising concerns for the ecological future of the transboundary Mekong River and the millions of people who depend on it. Joining Dr Natali Pearson on SSEAC Stories, Dr Ming Li Yong exposes how further hydropower development on the Mekong River could negatively affect ecosystems, resulting in decreased food security and jeopardising livelihoods in the river basin. She also discusses processes of public consultation and how they fail to consider local communities' opinions on these contested projects. About Ming Li Yong: Ming Li is a Fellow at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawai'i. She researches transboundary water governance and hydropower development in the Mekong River Basin. Her research focuses on community-based natural resource management, civil society movements, public participation, and the institutional arrangements that influence the politics of water resources development in the Mekong region. She received her Ph.D. from The University of Sydney and has previously taught courses on environmental ethics, sustainability, and food at the School for Field Studies and Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia, and at the National Institute of Education in Singapore.
