Two Chinese coast guard ships entered Japanese territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture, southernmost Japan, on Tuesday.

This week's solo episode of The Totally Wholesome (Not Dirty) Podcast is… chaos in its purest, most honest form — just the way we like it. I go full stream-of-consciousness: nicotine cravings, handstand delusions, social media rants, holiday misery, brain chemistry, betrayal, boundaries, gift-giving insanity, and why I might actually be the human embodiment of the Grinch.

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

Henry Kaiser: The Builder of Liberty Ships — Arthur Herman — Herman profiles Henry Kaiser, the second transformative figure in Freedom's Forge. Kaiser, a road construction entrepreneur who had previously coordinated monumental infrastructure projects including the Boulder Dam, demonstrated relentless commitment to ambitious thinking and delivery ahead of schedule and under budget constraints. In late 1940, Kaiser persuaded both British and American governments to contract him to construct "throwaway freighters"—Liberty ships—despite possessing no prior shipbuilding experience. Between 1941 and 1945, Kaiser successfully built 2,710 Liberty ships, fundamentally enabling Allied logistics and supply operations. 1941

Our second in a series of podcasts about New York City and American immigration history. Between the late 1890s and early 1920s, over 2 million Jews from Eastern Europe fled their homes and made the long journey to America, escaping persecution and violence in their native countries. Many were fleeing state-sanctioned antisemitism in Russia.This mass immigration effort was, in large part, brought about by three entrepreneurial men: Albert Ballin, the director of the Hamburg-America line; Jacob Schiff, the German-born New York-based philanthropist and financier; and the Gilded Age financial titan J.P. Morgan.It is through the research and writing of historian Steven Ujifusa that many details of this story have finally been brought to light in his book The Last Ships from Hamburg: Business, Rivalry, and the Race to Save Russia's Jews on the Eve of World War I. In this special presentation of the Gilded Gentleman podcast, Steve joins Carl to discuss these momentous events. In addition, Steve shares his personal story about how he uncovered little-known material to bring this history to life. Check out last week's show on Ellis Island after you've listened to this one.

There's a place on Earth where oceans collide, winds scream, and waves rise like walls. Sailors call it the most dangerous sea passage on the planet — and for centuries, countless ships have vanished there. Freezing waters. Sudden storms. Magnetic disturbances. Hidden rocks waiting beneath the surface. Even today, modern ships struggle to cross it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ghost ships do exist, and their mysteries aren't always solved. MV Joyita was a wooden vessel built in 1931 as a luxury yacht that ended its service abruptly and mysteriously in 1955. The last sighting of Carroll A. Deering at seas was on January 28, 1921, when a lightship noticed it off the coast of North Carolina. SS Baychimo is perhaps one of the most notable ghost ships in history. Let's find out about these and other ships that went missing for unknown reasons. Learn more about your ad choices.

A look at the weather, the ship schedule, and a note about short winter daysThe weather is about to do its thing again: wind, rain and elevated seas. Ships are coming and going as usual, so far. And for those feeling down about our short days, consider Utqiagvic (or Barrow), Alaska, which saw its last sunset of the year earlier this week. They'll live in darkness for 64 days until the sun returns in January.

Today, John Healey joins the podcast after a Russian ship suspected of mapping undersea cables pointed lasers at RAF pilots tracking its activity near UK waters. The Defence Secretary gave a speech at Downing Street that morning describing the move as “deeply dangerous.” It comes on the same day that a report from MPs says that the UK lacks a plan to defend itself from a military attack.Adam and Chris speak to John Healey about the escalating threat to the UK, lifting the lid on what conflict looks like in a world of undersea drones and cables, and what is being done to shore up UK military defences in what Healey calls a “new era of threat.”You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

Interview with Thomas Mumford, President of Scottie Resources Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/scottie-resources-tsxvscot-funded-to-advance-high-grade-2m-oz-gold-asset-in-bc-golden-triangle-5191Recording date: 17th November 2025Scottie Resources is positioning itself as a near-term gold producer through a direct ship ore (DSO) model that bypasses traditional milling infrastructure, targeting commercial production by mid-2028 at its flagship property 40 kilometers north of Stewart, BC. The company's strategic approach leverages existing deep water port facilities and high-grade mineralization outcropping at surface to accelerate project timelines while minimizing capital intensity in an environment of sustained elevated gold prices.The project's location adjacent to North America's northernmost ice-free deep water shipping port provides critical infrastructure advantages. Recently acquired by the Nisga'a First Nation in partnership with Tsimshian people, this facility already services established operations like Brucejack and Red Chris, eliminating concentrate transportation challenges that typically burden remote exploration projects. President Thomas Mumford emphasizes this represents "a simple project" that capitalizes on regional infrastructure rather than requiring standalone processing facilities costing $300-500 million.Ocean Partners secured an 11% equity position while committing $25 million US toward construction financing and an offtake agreement covering the feasibility-level resource. CEO Brent Omland joined Scottie's board concurrent with the transaction, aligning producer and offtaker interests. The agreement incorporates flexible buyout provisions and per-ton penalties rather than restrictive covenants, preserving Scottie's optionality as the project scales. This partnership capitalizes on favorable smelter market dynamics, with structural supply deficits in China driving negative treatment charges that enhance margins for direct ore shipments.Project economics demonstrate significant leverage to elevated gold prices, with preliminary economic assessment showing an NPV of $216 million CAD at $2,600 per ounce expanding to $670 million CAD at $4,200 per ounce with a 150% internal rate of return. The initial 18-month open pit phase targets 80,000 ounces at 7.7 grams per ton, generating sufficient cash flow to self-fund underground development and repay initial capital expenditures. This rapid payback profile reduces execution risk while accelerating unencumbered cash flow generation.Total capital requirements of $130 million CAD will be met through Ocean Partners' facility, traditional project financing structures evaluated post-feasibility study, and open pit cash flow. The company recently launched a $23 million financing round with strong insider participation, including mining entrepreneur Ross Beaty's 5% position. Management plans a competitive process for remaining funding, targeting a 70/30 debt-to-equity ratio that minimizes shareholder dilution while leveraging institutional appetite for senior secured positions in near-production precious metals projects.Permitting progresses through two-year environmental baseline studies initiated summer 2025, positioning Scottie to submit a Joint Permit Amendment Application in 2027. This streamlined pathway modernizes the property's historic mining permit rather than requiring full environmental assessment. Using Ascot Resources' eight-month approval precedent for a more complex operation, Mumford projects mid-2028 permitting completion enabling commercial production that year.First Nations relationships benefit from unique circumstances involving the Nisga'a Nation, BC's only treaty First Nation, whose recent port facility acquisition creates direct economic alignment with regional mining success. The company is negotiating an Impact and Benefit Agreement formalizing commercial terms and community commitments that underpin social license. Beyond near-term production, Scottie maintains active exploration targeting resource expansion from 700,000 ounces toward 2+ million ounces through a planned 10,000-meter drilling campaign in 2026.View Scottie Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/scottie-resources-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I spent some quality time digging into the origins of a word in common use. In doing so, I contacted the Postal Museum in the United Kingdom and received a lovely reply that included a photo of a document in their archive. The document, a Post Office Circular from Friday, December 30, 1904, number 1641, introduces a new service offered by the Post Office. Let me read to you what it says, and I quote: "Telegrams to and from Ships by Wireless Telegraphy. "(To be noted at Telegraph Offices only.) "With the present Circular is enclosed a list showing the wireless telegraph stations in the United Kingdom worked on the Marconi Company's system, and the hours up to which telegrams can be received at those stations for transmission by wireless telegraphy to certain ships fitted with Marconi apparatus. By another notice in this Circular, Postmasters and others concerned are requested to enter the names of the stations in the Code Book with the necessary particulars. Ships will be issued for insertion in the Post Office Guide. "On and from the 1st January, 1905, Telegrams may be accepted from the public on the following conditions:- "Subject to the Inland Regulations with regard to counting, the charge, which must be prepaid in the usual way by means of stamps, will be at the rate of 6 1/2d. [six-and-a-half pence] a word, with a minimum of 6s. 6d. [six-and-a-half shillings] per telegram. "The name of the wireless station will in each case pass as one word in the address. "The word 'Radio,' which is not charged for, should be telegraphed in the Service Instructions." When I read that, it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. The introduction of a Wireless Telegram service, under the service heading of "Radio", with a photo of the actual document that introduced it into the world. I also learned that there's a dozen pennies in a shilling and over the years before decimalisation in 1971, the composition of coins changed, which made converting this into today's money interesting. As an aside, the Royal Society has a wonderful article: "The science of money: Isaac Newton's mastering of the Mint" Back to radio, this is 1904 bleeding edge technology and it's priced accordingly. The starting price for a radio telegram on new years day 1905: six bob and six; or three florin and sixpence; or a crown, a bob and a tanner; is worth just over 34 Great British Pounds today, that's just on 45 US Dollars, or nearly 69 Australian Dollars. That's the minimum price. The price per word, sixpence and halfpenny [sixpence hayp-ny] is just over 2 Great British Pounds today, nearly 4 US Dollars or almost 6 Australian Dollars. Compare that to the price of SMS, which started at about 21 cents here in Australia, today it's about 3 cents per message of 160 characters. This seems like a lucrative business to be in, but I digress, again. From my current, and ongoing research, it appears that until this point, the early 1900's, the word "radio" was always accompanied by another word, for example in this context, "radio telegraphy", another combination of the day is "radio active", as well as "radio tellurium", which today we know as polonium. Moving on, the response I received from the Postal Museum included other gems, including a reference to the "1904 Wireless Telegraphy Act", from the 15th of August, 1904, where I found something fascinating, from Section 2 paragraph 1: "Where the applicant for a licence proves to the satisfaction of the Postmaster-General that the sole object of obtaining the license is to enable him to conduct experiments in wireless telegraphy, a license for that purpose shall be granted, subject to such special terms, conditions and restrictions as the Postmaster-General may think proper, but shall not be subject to any rent or royalty." I think that's the birth of amateur radio licensing in the United Kingdom, right there. As an aside, because I cannot help myself, the definition for the expression "wireless telegraphy", is pretty interesting too, reminding me of a quote, variations going back to at least 1866, incorrectly attributed to Einstein that goes something like this: You see, wire telegraph is a kind of very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, and they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. Seems that the drafters of the "1904 Wireless Telegraphy Act" had the same thing in mind when they wrote: "The expression 'wireless telegraphy' means any system of communication by telegraph as defined in the Telegraph Acts, 1863 to 1904, without the aid of any wire connecting the points from and at which the messages or other communications are sent and received" Now, as I said, I'm still working on this, because the word "radio" as a concept had to have been conceived before the Post Office Circular was written, printed and published. It might transpire that this was the brainchild of a single individual, or it might be that this was a term whose time had arrived, or this might not be the first occurrence of the word "radio" as a concept. Today we think nothing of it when we use it to turn on the radio, listen to, or talk on the radio, radio for help, break radio silence, and plenty of other uses of this now ubiquitous word. Thanks again to the Postal Museum for finding and photographing the Post Office Circular for the 30th of December 1904, which at this stage appears to be the first occurrence of the word "radio" on its own, and for referring me to the 1904 Wireless Telegraphy act which appears to be the birth of "amateur radio" in the United Kingdom. You can find both documents on my project site at vk6flab.com. I should also mention the brave individuals who took the time to share with me how to refer to Old British Money, any mistakes are all mine. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

In this episode, we explore the comprehensive strategic investments cruise lines are making to dominate global waterways, focusing on simultaneous fleet refinement, massive capacity expansion, and entry into highly competitive markets.We look at how Princess Cruises is maintaining a competitive edge through targeted revitalization, such as the extensive two-week dry dock of the Sapphire Princess. This refit centered on transforming existing spaces into premium dining venues, including the acclaimed Crown Grill Steakhouse and the new Makoto Ocean Edomae-style sushi venue by Chef Makoto Okuwa. Beyond dining upgrades, this strategy supports targeted market expansion, as the Sapphire Princess prepares for diverse itineraries, culminating in Princess Cruises' most expansive Japan season ever in 2027.Next, we dive into the staggering growth of Viking Cruises, which recently expanded its total fleet to 103 vessels with the addition of nine new river ships.

The new ships, including those purpose-built for Egypt's Nile River (Viking Thoth and Viking Amun), solidify Viking's leadership in vessel count and demonstrate remarkable profitability. Viking's committed orderbook anticipates a total fleet of 135 vessels by 2031.Finally, we examine the strategic shift by Trafalgar, a major guided vacation company, as it makes a decisive entry into the river cruising industry. Trafalgar's expansion reflects a move to meet the rising demand for immersive European journeys. The company plans to debut its first-ever river cruise fleet in 2028, leveraging its decades of guided travel expertise to redefine the luxury river cruising standards with innovative vessel designs and curated shore excursions.We discuss how these three diverse strategies—refinement, capacity growth, and new market entry—reflect the industry's renewed confidence and focus on delivering elevated, experience-driven products across river and ocean segments.

3. Kievan Rus Assimilation and the Unsolved Mystery of the Salme Ships Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age In the east, Rurik and his company founded what became Kievan Rus, shifting their power base south from Novgorod (862) to Kiev. Although people of Norse heritage controlled the area initially, they were a minority who mastered cultural assimilation with Slavic groups. Norse names like Ingvar and Helga became Slavicized as Igor and Olga, demonstrating extensive cultural mixing. The text also covers the mystery of the Salme ships in Estonia, recently discovered. These two ship burials, dated around 750 AD and predating Lindisfarne, contained the remains of dozens of high-status individuals from Sweden who died violently, likely on a diplomatic mission. One leader was buried with the king piece of the popular board game Hnefatafl placed in his mouth—an intentional act of storytelling.
