Synopsis:  What happens when the President threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act? Two leading voices weigh in on how Congress, veterans, and citizens can push back against rising militarization. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description [original air-date November 2025]:  The U.S. military is sworn to serve the Constitution, but that's getting complicated under Donald Trump. The President has deployed National Guard troops to half a dozen U.S. cities against the wishes of local officials and ICE agents are roaming around communities acting under unclear rules. Now the President is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. What difference would that make? Laura's guests are U.S. House Representative Pramila Jayapal and Marine veteran Janessa Goldbeck, who say it's time to reject authoritarianism and uphold the Constitution. Congresswoman Jayapal is the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement and represents Washington State's 7th Congressional District. She has been at the forefront of congressional oversight and opposition to the Trump administration's immigration policies. Captain Goldbeck is CEO of Vet Voice, a national nonprofit that mobilizes veterans and military families to shape American democracy and defend the values they swore to protect. What can Congress, veterans and the general public do to stop the militarization of our cities? Join us for this powerful conversation, plus a commentary on the other times that the U.S. government has turned its military inward. Note: This conversation took place prior to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in MN] “What we're seeing now is the president attempting to reshape the U.S. military into a tool of his own domestic political control . . . And then to deploy uniformed service members and the National Guard across the country against the wishes of local elected leaders . . . I feel a lot of sadness and frustration on behalf of those who are serving in uniform today who are being put into this very partisan political position by the United States president.” - Janessa Goldbeck “What law enforcement should be doing — of any kind, whether it's ICE, National Guard, whoever — is trying to deescalate. What we clearly see this set of military actors doing is escalate, right? When you crack down brutally, when you shoot a rubber bullet at a faith leader in Chicago, or when you violently push someone down to the ground, who by the way happens to be the father of three U.S. Marines . . . I think that is really an attempt to suppress any kind of dissent.” - Rep. Pramila Jayapal Guests: •  Captain Janessa Goldbeck: Marine Corps Veteran; CEO, Vet Voice Foundation •  Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal: D-WA, 7th Congressional District Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Auckland fashion brand 'Kowtow' says it has achieved a world first, turning their garments, once they reach the end of their life, into organic biochar This ancient process locks in the carbon contained within the garment, enriching the soil instead of releasing emissions To talk us through the process Jesse is joined by Kowtow Founder Gosia Piatek.

The Japanese government needs to show the safety of soil from decontamination work after the 2011 nuclear accident in Fukushima Prefecture, postdisaster reconstruction minister Takao Makino has said.

Are you just along for the ride, or are you an apprentice to Jesus? In week two of our Grow month, Dan challenges us to step into the real work of discipleship. We can't simply bypass our pain or ignore our humanness in the name of being spiritual. Instead, we are invited to hold our new creation identity in one hand and our process of sanctification in the other. By taking ownership of our inner world and tending to the soil of our hearts—assessing our friction, getting curious about our triggers, and partnering with the Holy Spirit to process our history—we make room for explosive, hundredfold growth. Transformation takes work, but we do it anchored in the grace and goodness of God. Let's let Jesus into our deep places to do what He paid for in our lives.

One of the most important jobs of a farmer is to prepare the soil for the seeding of plants. Soil must be tilled, fertilizer must be added, and seeds must be carefully placed in the ground in a way that they can grow and flourish. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you in today's message that the process of being born again starts with the seed of the Kingdom of God being planted in your heart. That seed doesn't take root at the same time for everyone, but the fruit it bears is always based on God's perfect timing!

What if the water you drink could change your brain, your energy, and even how you age?In this episode, I sit down with Mario Brainovic, researcher and founder of Analemma Water, to explore the concept of “coherent water” and how modern environmental stressors like EMFs may be disrupting the structure of the water in and around us. We dive into the science behind water coherence, brainwave changes, mitochondrial energy (ATP), NAD levels, and what this could mean for brain fog, fatigue, sleep, and long-term cellular health in midlife women. Mario shares the results of double-blind human studies, plant research, and emerging data on how structured water may impact heart rate variability, microbiome diversity, and overall resilience. This conversation stretches from hard science to big-picture thinking about energy, biology, and our connection to the natural world.This episode might change how you think about the most basic input your body receives every single day.

Send a textSoil biology is quickly becoming one of the most important conversations in modern agriculture.In this episode of the Profitable Steward Podcast, Jared Sorensen interviews soil scientist Steve Diver to explore how carbon farming and soil biology form the foundation of regenerative agriculture.With more than 40 years of experience in horticulture, soil science, and sustainable agriculture, Steve breaks down the science behind soil health and explains how farmers and ranchers can use natural biological processes to rebuild soil structure, increase organic matter, and improve farm profitability.Topics covered in this episode include:• The history and evolution of regenerative agriculture • Why soil organic matter and carbon farming drive soil fertility • How soil microbes, fungi, and mycorrhizae influence plant health • The role of cover crops, grazing management, and biodiversity in soil regeneration • Practical ways farmers can transition from chemical-dependent systems to biological farming systems • The power of multi-species grazing, mob grazing, and livestock integration • How microbial inoculants, compost extracts, and biological amendments work in regenerative systemsWhether you are a rancher, row crop farmer, soil health advocate, or simply interested in sustainable agriculture and regenerative farming practices, this conversation provides practical insights on building living soil systems that support both productivity and profitability.

One of the sweet spots in any system is when you can turn a "waste" product into a beneficial output. Wool, unfortunately, has become one such product. It isn't as high quality in wetter environments and certain breeds also struggle to produce high quality wool. Add to that the difficulty of those who know how to or want to shear sheep and you can see how this has led to a drying up of the wool market in many places. Israel Vasek has found a way to take these undervalued wool fleeces and turn them into a powerful, carbon rich, soil amendment. We are going to discuss that process with him today as well as the results of some of the studies using wool pellets as a soil amendment.Sponsors:Kaizen SolutionsSunshine Bible AcademyRelevant Links:Wooly Naturals

In this first installment of a three-part vineyard nutrition series, Dr. Markus Keller joins us to break down one of the most influential nutrients in vineyard management: nitrogen. We explore from the ground up.  Dr. Keller explains what nitrogen is, where it comes from in vineyard soils, and why it plays such a critical role in vine growth, fruit set, and overall vine performance. While nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere, vines rely on soil processes to convert it into plant-available forms like nitrate. Dr. Keller details how nitrogen influences vigor, canopy density, fruit set, berry size, phenolic development, and even wine quality. The episode also dives into how soil type, organic matter, temperature, moisture, and cover crops affect nitrogen availability. For growers across diverse regions, this conversation highlights why vineyard nutrition strategies must be site-specific. Whether you're managing high-vigor blocks or navigating lean soils, episode one of our three-part series equips vineyard owners and operators with foundational knowledge to make smarter nitrogen decisions. In this episode, you will hear: Nitrogen primarily comes from soil organic matter, not rock minerals Microbial activity drives nitrogen availability in vineyards Both deficiency and excess nitrogen can reduce vine balance and fruitfulness Soil moisture and temperature strongly influence nitrogen mineralization Leaf blade tissue sampling offers improved precision for nitrogen analysis Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

Doug Fifer of Fifer Family Farms joins Jeff, Mary, and Eric for a second episode to discuss how Doug manages change, inputs, and tighter margins with his farming and cover cropping systems. Doug acknowledges that we are all creatures of habit and have our comfort zones.  Doug began experimenting and stretching his comfort zone with no-till farming and cover crops in 2010. As Doug built his cropping system and expanded his focus on cover crops as an integral input for soil biology and building organic matter, Doug's only regret is that he did not start when he was 25 rather than 50 years old. Doug reiterates that farmers are facing higher input costs and tighter margins; therefore, farmers need to be mindful of their actual return on investment (ROI) rather than solely focusing on yields. Return on investment is the bottom line. Cereal rye and vetch are two of Doug's go-to cover crops. However, he planted an 11-species cover crop mix last fall and will be doing a side-by-side comparison of the effects of the two systems on corn production.

March has arrived and the soil is finally starting to warm up. This week on the podcast In this week's episode of The Veg Grower Podcast, Richard is welcoming in the month of March. I share updates on soil temperatures, warming beds for early sowings. We also have our Seed of the Month, and this month's book review. There's also a simple seasonal recipe using purple sprouting broccoli. Down the Allotment After weeks of rain, a few dry days have finally helped the soil begin to dry and warm. Richard has also been checking temperatures with a soil thermometer. Although readings are still around 5–7°C, things are moving in the right direction. Richard goes on to talk about how he's using cloches to warm the beds ahead of direct sowing, and why he prefer them over black plastic or weed membrane. There's also a bit of reflection on how the allotment is looking overall as we head into the new season. In the Potting Shed With the shed averaging around 11°C this week, Richard has moved some of his peppers and chillies out from indoors to free up space. They're looking happy, and the shed is now ready for more seed sowing as temperatures continue to stabilise. Seed of the Month Cauliflower This month's featured seed is a multi‑headed cauliflower from Premier Seeds Direct. Richard explain's why this variety caught his attention. It produces a main head plus several smaller ones. Making it ideal for gardeners working with limited space. Richard also touches on why cauliflowers can be tricky, the importance of consistency, and how he start's his in root trainers to avoid disturbing their roots. In the Kitchen Purple sprouting broccoli is at its peak right now. This week's Richard's recipe is a simple roasted lemon and garlic purple sprouting broccoli with crispy chickpeas. It's quick, flavourful, and perfect as a side dish or a light meal. Full details are shared in the episode. Book of the Month For February Richard is reviewing No Dig by Charles Dowding. Although many of the principles are now widely known, the book still offers clear explanations and accessible science behind the no‑dig method. Richard share's his thoughts on why it's still a worthwhile read, especially for newer gardeners. Richard's also introducing next month's book: A Year on the River by Fiona Sims, which explores growing, foraging, and cooking from a narrowboat. Richard wrap's up the episode with a listener message about straw bale gardening and share why squashes and cucumbers are a great place to start. As always, Richard invite listeners to leave a review, join the Supporters Club, or get in touch via the website or social media.

Synopsis:  Members of PNLL are experimenting with new ways of doing politics and economics in communities across the US, focusing on local solutions and shared resources. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: People across the country are resisting authoritarianism in creative and powerful ways, and this is just the start. The folks at The People's Network for Land & Liberation (PNLL) say the forces that got us here are bigger than one bad leader; entire systems must be taken down. Building a brighter future requires a vision of economic and social justice — and lots of practice. Today on Laura Flanders & Friends, we look at some of those practical experiments and paths for radical change, and discuss why they're just as important as resistance. The members of PNLL, a multiracial, multiethnic consortium of six community-based organizations, are doing politics and economics differently in real places across the U.S. right now. Joining us are Edget Betru, an attorney, activist and Coordinator of the People's Network for Land & Liberation; David Cobb, PNLL staff person and Co-coordinator of the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network; and Blair Evans, Founder and Executive Director of Incite Focus, a production and training lab based in Idlewild, Michigan. Find out how to build for the future — even in the toughest circumstances. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on William Morris's News From Nowhere. “We've been colonized in our minds . . . Involving people in day-to-day produce, meeting their needs through a different way, through thinking, Hey, who in my neighborhood knows how to fix this? . . . It's really that shift in consciousness that needs to happen that's going to allow for this new economy to emerge.” - Edget Betru “My mama and my mamaw and my papa who raised me taught me a lesson as a little boy, and that is, there's enough to go around as long as we share. That made sense to me when I was five years old. It makes sense to me now when I'm 63 years old. There's enough to go around as long as we share. It's just as simple as that.” - David Cobb “We can make things that make things, we can design and build our own equipment that can then use locally sourced materials, hyper localizing the supply chain . . . We can stop feeding the monster that's consuming us and actually disconnect from that process and use what we have.” - Blair Evans Guests: • Edget Betru: Coordinator, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Board Member, Community Movement Builders • David Cobb: Staff, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Manager, Butterfly Impact Fund; Co-Coordinator, U.S. Solidarity Economy Network • Blair Evans: Coalition Member, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Founder & Executive Director, Incite Focus; Designer & Trainer, Fab Lab Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

This week we welcome Dr. Mike Fidanza from Penn State University, a globally recognized authority on fairy ring in turf. Our conversation digs into how this fungus establishes itself in the soil and why the traditional explanations only tell part of the story.For years, fairy ring was blamed solely on decomposing organic matter. While that plays a role, Dr. Fidanza explains why the issue runs deeper. He challenges the idea that carbon-based fertility causes fairy ring and instead points to the complexity of the soil biome and microbial interactions.Much of his current research focuses on how soil biology, moisture management, and drought stress influence the development and severity of the disease. He recently explored these themes in Golf Course Industry in his article, The Interactions of Plant Soil Microbes Under Drought Stress.A key takeaway from our discussion is that fairy ring often thrives where biological processes are not fully supported. When nitrification slows and ammonium lingers, fungi can take advantage of that imbalance. Healthy biological activity helps keep nutrient cycling moving and reduces the conditions that favor disease.This conversation reinforces what we've long discussed: managing turf challenges starts below the surface. Soil biology, carbon availability, and balanced nutrient cycling all play a critical role in creating resilient turf systems.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

We're closing out our AI and Culture series with Nikki Silvestri, CEO and Founder of Soil and Shadow, international keynote speaker, and environmental advocate. Nikki has spent her career asking hard questions about who benefits and who bears the cost, and she brings that same lens to AI. This conversation covers environmental impact, personal responsibility, and what it means to lead with ethics when technology is moving this fast.What We CoverThe Commons vs. the Wild West – AI is actually both happening simultaneously, and the education gap is the biggest driver of why.The urgency is real – The pressure to adopt AI isn't false. Productivity expectations are shifting and jobs are being replaced. But individual blame isn't the answer.Environmental impact in context – Data centers use energy and water, but so does streaming, Zoom, and Spotify. A systems view means holding the whole picture, not just the sound bite.The regional advocacy gap – Placing data centers in drought-prone or already-stressed regions has real consequences, and local advocacy matters more than most people realize.BYO AI and Shadow Tech – 70-75% of organizations have no AI policies, but the same percentage of people are using it individually. That gap is where risk lives.Using AI to reclaim your time – Nikki's personal case for how AI is giving her back the mental and psychic energy that intellectual work used to drain, especially for women and neurodivergent leaders.What to actually do – Understand your footprint, advocate for democratic infrastructure, use free templates to get your team aligned before you spend money on outside help.Bullish or bearish? – Both. The power of the tool is real. The incentives of the companies building it are not in your favor.Key Takeaway Growth mindset. A lot is changing fast and it is scary. Stay at the growth edge, but you don't have to make yourself unsafe to do it.Guest Resource Nikki Silvestri and Soil and Shadow: soilandshadow.com We Want to Hear From You Send your questions to podcast@cocreatework.com and subscribe to our newsletter at cocreatework.com.As always, thank you for your leadership.Resources:Leading through growth takes intention.

Sponge, Funnel, Strainer, or Sieve? Which kitchen tool will help you live? God is faithful, a patient planter, and loyal Are you rocky, thorny, or fruitful soil? In Matthew 13, Yeshua invites us into the classroom of the Kingdom—where learning isn't passive, and growth takes intention, patience, and discernment. This week at Tikvat Israel, we'll explore how parables, kitchen tools, and soil all point to the same question: will we simply notice the lesson, or will we bear fruit thirty, sixty, and even one hundred fold? Check it out in this week's sermon from Rabbi David on the New Covenant Parsha (Matthew 13): What Kind of Student, Soil, and Kitchen Tool are You?

This week, Joanne welcomes master gardener Ingrid Janssen to the podcast to discuss the inspiring work being done by Little Forests Durham, a nonprofit organization focused on planting Miyawaki mini forests throughout Durham Region. About Little Forests Durham Little Forests Durham is a volunteer-run community non-profit organization based in Durham Region, Ontario, Canada, focused on giving tools, knowledge, and support to people, communities, organizations and local authorities to plant Little Forests in their neighbourhoods and communities. Topics Covered Ingrid's background as a Durham Master Gardener, seed collector, and advocate for native trees How Little Forests Durham was founded in 2024 and inspired by Little Forests Kingston What a Miyawaki mini forest is and how the method aims to compress forest succession into 20-30 years Why these forests are planted using dense layers of native trees and shrubs to mimic a natural forest community The importance of soil preparation, including cardboard, compost, and mulch to suppress weeds and build fungal-rich soil How sites are chosen through collaboration with municipal staff, parks departments, and local partners Why publicly accessible land is a priority for Little Forests Durham projects The logistics behind site prep, including access for trucks, compost delivery, mulch spreading, and volunteer coordination How volunteers help with planting days, often in large numbers, making it possible to plant hundreds of trees and shrubs in a short time Why planting design still matters, even in a more naturalized system, with careful placement of canopy trees, understory trees, and shrubs The realities of maintenance, including weeding, invasive species removal, tree protection, fencing, and monitoring for drought How mini forests help address climate change by increasing biodiversity, cooling urban spaces, and creating habitat for wildlife The role of partnerships with organizations such as Rotary Clubs, conservation authorities, Green Communities Canada, Greenbelt Foundation, and Trees for Life The group's ambitious goal of planting 30 mini forests by 2030 in Durham Region How listeners can support the effort through volunteering, joining the team, donating, or helping bring projects to their own communities The idea that homeowners can create smaller-scale versions in their own yards, known as pocket forests Ingrid's love of native trees, with a special mention of her flowering dogwood, grown from seed she collected herself Takeaways and Tips Mini forests do not require huge spaces. Even a small corner of a park or a backyard can support a meaningful planting. Native trees and shrubs matter. They support biodiversity, wildlife, and long-term ecological health. The Miyawaki method is about community. It brings together people, plants, fungi, wildlife, and local organizations in one shared effort. Good site access is essential. Successful projects need room for compost, mulch, tools, and tree delivery. Volunteer-friendly planning makes all the difference. Clear layouts and simple planting instructions help create a positive experience. Soil prep is key. Cardboard, compost, and mulch help suppress weeds and create better conditions for young trees to thrive. Maintenance matters. The first few years require protection from rabbits, trampling, invasive weeds, and possible drought. Climate action can be local. You don't have to wait for large systems to change. Communities can begin by planting trees where they live. Small efforts add up. Whether it is joining a planting day, donating materials, or creating a pocket forest at home, every action helps.

We often talk about ancestors as if they were only ever human. But long before your great-grandmothers, before the first person who carried your family name, there were millions of years of organisms learning how to live on this planet, and you inherited everything they figured out.In this episode, we explore what it means to treat a plant, a stone, or a handful of soil as an elder, because the non-human world has been negotiating change, endurance, and time longer than our species has existed, and something in us still knows how to listen to that kind of wisdom.Today is perfect for anyone who feels isolated in their uncertainty, who wants to practice a different kind of knowing, or who suspects there's something they've been missing by treating the natural world as scenery rather than something more relational.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:iPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) Magickal Communities: Join UsMagickal JournalFive Minutes of Magick Amazon UKFive Minutes of Magick Amazon USWebsitewww.MagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click here

A square foot of topsoil typically hosts thousands of dormant seeds deposited by previous floras.  Nathan Lambstrom of Lambstrom Garden Ecology discusses his research into how this "soil seed bank" can enhance or derail ecological restoration, and how to manage your "account" to benefit your garden.

What's the biggest mistake people make when buying homes on land? They treat them like normal neighborhood houses. We are breaking down the massive, consequential mistakes buyers make when purchasing acreage, small land properties, or big backyard homes, mistakes that don't show up… until six months later. Or until the next monsoon hits. This conversation was sparked by a massive Texas downpour. Watching water pour across roads, topsoil wash away, and properties flood made one thing clear: If you don't understand how water moves on a property, you could be buying a very expensive problem. When you buy 1, 2, 5, or 10 acres, you're not just buying a house. You're buying responsibility for how that land performs. And the city isn't always managing it for you. Water is just one example. The same goes for:• Wind exposure • Soil quality • Utilities • Livestock rules • Solar • Drainage ditches • Gutters & runoff management These aren't reasons to avoid homes on land, WE LOVE THEM. They're incredible. But they require a different level of expertise and awareness. If you're thinking about buying or selling a big backyard or acreage property in DFW, this is exactly the kind of stuff you need to know before it becomes a surprise.

Honoring a soil building heroIn this rebroadcast of Episode 185, Greg honors the late Dr. Elaine Ingham, a global leader in soil biology and founder of Soil Food Web Inc. Dr. Ingham shares her journey from childhood microbiology lessons to groundbreaking research on the soil food web. The episode explores composting, soil biology, succession, and how restoring microbial life can regenerate ecosystems and dramatically increase yields.Our Guest: Dr. Elaine Ingham is the Founder, President and Director of Research for Soil Foodweb Inc., a business that grew out of her Oregon State University research program. Behind her user-friendly approach to soil lies a wealth of knowledge gained from years of research into the organisms which make up the soil food web. Her goal is to translate this knowledge into actions that ensure a healthy food web that promotes plant growth and reduces reliance on inorganic chemicals. Elaine also offers a pioneering vision for sustainable farming, improving our current soils to a healthier state, without damaging any other ecosystem. In her spare time, Elaine publishes scientific papers, writes book chapters and gives talks at symposia around the world.Key TopicsElaine InghamSoil Food Web IncOregon State UniversityEnvironmental Protection AgencyUniversity of GeorgiaColorado State UniversityUnited NationsMonsantoSoil food web (bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, microarthropods)Genetically engineered Klebsiella planticolaBiosafety protocol debateEcological succession and weedsComposting (thermal, vermicomposting, static)Soil microbiome and human health connectionKey Questions AnsweredHow did Dr. Elaine Ingham begin her journey into soil microbiology?Introduced to microscopes at age six by her veterinarian father, she developed early scientific curiosity.

Interview with Charlie Greig, CEO of Metal Energy Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metal-energy-tsxvmerg-unlocking-ontarios-massive-lithium-potential-drilling-dec-2023-4221Recording date: 19th February 2026Metal Energy Corp (TSXV: MERG) is preparing to drill its first holes on the NIV copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry project in British Columbia's Toodoggone district, one of the province's more active mineral exploration corridors. The company is led by Charlie Greig, a veteran exploration geologist whose prior work contributed to the assembly of the GT Gold Saddle discovery — a porphyry deposit sold for approximately $450 million in 2021. Greig and his technical partner, geophysicist Alex Walcott, have been building a dataset on the NIV property since 2010, funding much of the early work themselves before bringing in outside capital.The NIV property covers roughly 5 kilometres of strike length and sits in the same volcanic and intrusive rock package that hosts established porphyry deposits elsewhere in the Toodoggone. Soil geochemistry shows elevated copper, gold, and molybdenum values running continuously along the trend, while induced polarisation surveys have identified chargeability anomalies at depth consistent with a sulphide-bearing system. Porphyry-style sheeted veining visible at surface adds further geological weight to the target. Critically, all three datasets — geochemistry, geology, and geophysics -align spatially, giving the team a well-defined set of drill targets ahead of its first program.The project has drawn strategic investment from two significant industry names. Centerra Gold, which operates a mine approximately 40 kilometres to the north, and Teck Resources have each taken a 9.9% equity stake following independent technical review. Their involvement provides both financial support and meaningful third-party validation of the project's geological merits.The 2026 drill program is expected to total between 5,000 and 6,000 metres across 10 to 12 holes. Nearby, Amarc Resources' AuRORA copper-gold discovery in the same district serves as a direct geological analogue, while an adjacent Northwest Copper drill intercept confirms porphyry-style mineralisation within 1–2 kilometres of NIV ground.View Metal Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/metal-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Synopsis: What's it take for an independent media collective to last for almost 60 years? This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).
