Mary is based in London and graduated from the Royal Drawing School in 2018 and Goldsmiths College London's BA in Fine Art and contemporary critical studies in 2010.Her works have been the subject of solo exhibitions at Moskowitz Bayse (Los Angeles) and Lychee One (London), and have recently been included in group exhibitions at The British Museum, White Cube, Union Pacific, and Huxley-Parlour (London), Hweg (Penzance), F2T Gallery (Milan), Harkawik (New York), and Clint Roenisch (Toronto), among others. I visited Mary a few days after her most recent show ‘Careful not to fill an Emptiness' opened at Moskowitz Bayse in London, which is where our conversation takes place. So as our conversation predominantly references the work within it, a fitting introduction to the work in the show, and to lead into our conversation as a whole would be to read an excerpt from her press release.The experience of the body can't be measured in feet or by the length of its limbs. But as a changing and curious instrument, the body knows space as something foreclosing – an abrupt cul-de-sac in a dream – and sometimes so blown open it can feel like sensory deprivation, extending past any textured surface or distance in time.The artworks in Careful not to fill an Emptiness move into spaces which have held – and been held by – the body. Here, these spaces are loosely described by paint or in dry materials on paper. They are shared and solitary at once: a group of figures stand together with their heads bowed, someone holds out a flower to another who is angled away and appears not to see them but is still supported by bodies on either side. When an object or body is depicted, a surrounding space forms by default. Around the bodies of natural elements, Mary Herbert paints a kind of default landscape that doesn't need to be clearly defined to be occupied. It is a not-quite place that exists despite the body's vulnerability, despite the human dualisms of language.

Courthouse Steps Decision: Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County, Colorado

This case concerned the question of whether the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires an agency to study environmental impacts beyond the proximate effects of the action over which the agency has regulatory authority. When the Surface Transportation Board granted a petition from the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition to construct and operate an 80-mile Utah railway, they conducted an environmental review in which they considered direct impacts of the highway on nearby land, water, and air. But they did not consider certain environmental “downline impacts” or possible effects on historic sites along the Union Pacific line in Eagle County. The county challenged their review as inadequate, while the Board argues that these effects were either too minimal for serious analysis, or outside the scope of their authority.This case was decided 8-0 on May 29. The Court ruled in favor of the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition, concluding that the federal environmental review process does not have to consider “downline” impacts. Join us in discussing the case and its decision with Mario Loyola and Austin Lipari, who wrote amicus briefs in support of petitioners.Featuring:Prof. Mario Loyola, Senior Fellow for Law, Economics, and Technology, The Heritage Foundation; Professor, Florida International UniversityModerator: Austin Lipari, Counsel, Boyden Gray PLLC--To register, click the link above.

But it isn't until the nation is thrown into Civil War that the government passes a bill to construct a transcontinental railroad. Two companies are formed: the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific. The Union Pacific begins building west from Omaha.

More on dividend growth investing  -> Join our market newsletter!  Schedule a meeting with us ->  Financial Planning & Portfolio Management Almost everyone knows that tariffs and trade wars have sent global markets spiraling, with the Dow down 17% and the S&P 500 down 20% from their highs, based on our recording date. While technically that implies we have entered a bear market, it also means better prices for long-term cash flow. It is human nature to get nervous when markets seem to be on the brink of panic, but dividend growth investors should see times like these as a gift.  In this episode, Greg tackles the tough headlines and sinking sentiment in today's markets. As recession fears grow and the market experiences significant volatility, Greg explains why focusing on sustainable cash flow and quality companies provides stability for long-term investors. From investor psychology to long-term GDP trends, Greg discusses how disciplined dividend investing turns market panic into wealth creation. Later, he highlights our recent purchase of Union Pacific ($UNP) as proof of concept. EDIT: In the episode, Greg mentions that paying $30 for $1 of earnings is about a 2.5% earnings yield. This comment was made in error; the correct number is a 3.33% earnings yield.Topics Covered: [01:00] Why focusing on cash flow provides clarity in a chaotic market[02:48] First quarter portfolio performance and the power of staying invested[05:00] Reframing a bear market: buying cash flow at a discount[06:55] How GDP and earnings trends support long-term optimism[10:17] Why market corrections test your investment mindset[11:50] Comparing stock ownership to rental property — and why we forget it's the same[16:33] Real numbers that contradict the media narrative (household debt, corporate cash, etc.)[24:52] New position: Why we bought Union Pacific and what makes it a dividend powerhouse[28:40] The case for quality, patience, and diversification during uncertainty[31:33] Index funds, dividend ETFs, and staying positioned for the rebound[34:01] The most dangerous investing phrase: "It's different this time"Send us a textBook time on our calendar here If you submit a question to us and we use it in an episode, we will send you an official The Dividend Mailbox Yeti® Tumbler -> Email us at ethan@growmydollar.com.Notes & Resources:DCM Investment Reports & ModelsVisit our website to learn more about our investment strategy and wealth management services.Follow us on:Instagram - Facebook - LinkedIn - XIf you enjoy the show, we'd greatly appreciate it if you subscribe and leave a review

Move Over, Sir! How Women Took the Throttle on America's Railroads The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series, right here on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's episode is part of our special 60th Anniversary celebration with Smithsonian Associates—marking six decades of education, inspiration, and powerful storytelling. And this one, friends, is both powerful and long overdue.   You're about to hear a remarkable conversation with Smithsonian Associate Patricia LaBounty, curator of the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, about an exhibit that challenges history's blind spots and spotlights the women who helped build—and quite literally run—the railroads of America.  Patricia LaBounty will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates, and the title of her presentation is Move Over Sir: Women Working on the Railroad.  More details are available via links in out show notes today.    The exhibit is titled “Move Over, Sir!”, and the title isn't just clever. It's a line drawn in iron, a statement about persistence in the face of exclusion. When we think of the railroad, we often picture smoke-belching locomotives, dusty rail yards, and stoic men in overalls. What we don't picture—at least not often enough—are the women at the telegraph, in the ticket booth, on the repair lines, and yes, in the engineer's seat. From the Civil War, when more than 100,000 women filled vital rail roles as men went to battle… to the 1930s when Union Pacific created women-only cars staffed by trained nurse-stewardesses… to trailblazers like Bonnie Leake, the first female engineer at UP, and Edwina Justus, the first Black woman in that role—this is history that's gritty, inspiring, and still unfolding.   Smithsonian Associate Patricia LaBounty joins us to share these stories and more: women who were told to step aside, sit down, or stay home—and who refused. These are the voices that helped carry this country forward, and it's our honor to put them front and center today.   So, settle in. You'll never hear the words “all aboard” quite the same way again. Here now, with the music of Glen Miller echoing in the background—a nod to the rail era that changed this country—our conversation with Patricia LaBounty, curator of “Move Over, Sir!” at the Union Pacific Railroad Museum.   And this is The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang. Let's begin.   That's our show for today. Again, a very special thanks to Patricia LaBounty, curator of the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, and to all those women—past and present—who've shown what strength, skill, and leadership look like on and off the tracks.   Patricia LaBounty will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates, and the title of her presentation is Move Over Sir: Women Working on the Railroad.  More details are available via links in our show notes today.    To hear more inspiring conversations like this one and explore our full archive of interviews, visit us online at notold-better.com.

This case concerns the question of whether the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires an agency to study environmental impacts beyond the proximate effects of the action over which the agency has regulatory authority. When the Surface Transportation Board granted a petition from the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition to construct and operate an 80-mile Utah railway, they conducted an environmental review in which they considered direct impacts of the highway on nearby land, water, and air. But they did not consider certain environmental “downline impacts” or possible effects on historic sites along the Union Pacific line in Eagle County. The county challenged their review as inadequate, while the Board argues that these effects were either too minimal for serious analysis, or outside the scope of their authority. Oral Argument is set for December 10, 2024.

About 20 years ago, Joey Santore went from illegally riding freight trains across the country to working as a “train man” for Union Pacific. His official duties, which included driving the trains, gave him a unique look at the decline of the East Bay's industrial sector and blue collar workforce. Spending time in decaying factories and train yards also sparked his interest in nature, as he saw plants and animals returning to repopulate these post-industrial spaces. Eventually Joey finally got fed up with his corporate railroad bosses and quit working on trains in order to focus full-time on nature. His wildly successful podcast and video series Crime Pays, but Botany Doesn't now attracts legions of fans from all over the world who tune in to hear Joey share his vast knowledge of plants along with a healthy dose of socio-political analysis thrown into the mix.

With a significant historic resource, recent validation of high-grade mineralization, and an experienced management team, Myriad is well-positioned to create value for investors as they advance the project amid a favorable uranium market environment.The Copper Mountain project boasts an extensive drilling history from the 1970s, with Union Pacific's uranium subsidiary investing over C$117 million (in today's dollars) and completing 2,000 drill holes. Union Pacific estimated uranium resources ranging from 15 to 30 million pounds, with the potential to exceed 65 million pounds. Myriad's primary objective is to validate this historic data and expand upon the findings, and recent drilling results have been highly encouraging.A 34-hole drill program completed by Myriad confirmed the presence of high-grade uranium mineralization, with some areas yielding grades up to 8,000 ppm, significantly higher than the expected 2,500-3,000 ppm range. CEO Thomas Lamb noted, "We've gone beyond what Union Pacific found, too, which is very cool."Myriad is taking a strategic approach to exploration, prioritizing high-grade zones and areas with significant expansion potential. The company has identified priority targets that Union Pacific was unable to fully advance, as well as new prospects within their expanding project area. This targeted approach allows for efficient resource allocation and minimizes the risk of dilution for investors.Wyoming, where the Copper Mountain project is located, is widely regarded as one of the best jurisdictions for mining, particularly for uranium. Myriad has found the permitting process to be straightforward and efficient, with no unexpected delays. The company is currently applying for a comprehensive plan of operations, which will permit a significant number of drill holes for the upcoming spring, summer, and fall seasons.Myriad's success is underpinned by an experienced management team and a strong roster of technical advisors. CEO Thomas Lamb brings extensive experience in advancing exploration projects worldwide, while the company's geologist, George van der Walt is praised for his exceptional planning and organizational skills. Advisors Jim Davis and Doug Christofferson contribute vast industry experience, with Davis having worked at Copper Mountain previously.The uranium market is experiencing a period of heightened interest, driven by supply constraints, geopolitical factors, and growing demand for clean energy. Myriad is well-positioned to capitalize on these market dynamics, with a substantial historic resource and promising exploration results in a top-tier jurisdiction.In conclusion, Myriad Uranium represents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the uranium exploration sector. With a significant historic resource, validation of high-grade mineralization, an experienced team, and a strategic approach to exploration in a top-tier jurisdiction, Myriad is poised to create value for shareholders as they advance the Copper Mountain project.View Myriad Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/myriad-uraniumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Hangama Amiri, an acclaimed Afghan-Canadian textile artist, joins us to share her remarkable journey from painting to textiles, drawing deeply from her Afghan heritage and personal history. In our conversation, Amiri explains how she transforms fabrics to tell a story with her art and how powerful the medium is to express authenticity and connection.We also shine a light on the resilience of Afghan women through salon culture, a fascinating aspect of Amiri's experiences during her visits to Afghanistan that have become prominent in her work. These salons are more than spaces for beauty—they are bastions of resistance and entrepreneurship in male-dominated settings. Amiri reflects on the art world's often narrow views on textiles and shares insights inspired by her academic journey, challenging the notion that textile art is merely craft. Her experiences at NSCAD and Yale underscore the importance of diversity and representation in fostering artistic growth and confidence.In our final segment, Amiri reflects on her transition to an independent artistic practice and the freedom it offered to develop her unique voice. Aspiring artists will find her advice invaluable: understanding your relationship with your materials and staying true to your intuition as key to authentic expression. ---Hangama Amiri holds an MFA from Yale University, where she graduated in 2020 from the Painting and Printmaking Department.

Interview with Thomas Lamb, CEO of Myriad Uranium Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/myriad-uranium-csem-upcoming-exploration-program-to-advance-wyoming-uranium-project-5620Recording date: 4th SeptemberMyriad Uranium Corporation is positioning itself as an intriguing player in the resurgent uranium market, with its Copper Mountain project in Wyoming offering a unique blend of historical data and modern exploration potential. As the nuclear industry experiences a renaissance driven by clean energy demands, Myriad's strategic approach to uranium exploration presents an opportunity for investors to gain exposure to this critical sector.The Copper Mountain project, located in the heart of Wyoming, comes with a significant advantage - an extensive historical dataset from Union Pacific's exploration efforts in the 1970s. This data, representing an investment of approximately 117 million Canadian dollars in today's terms, includes information from 2,000 bore holes and identifies seven uranium deposits. The historical estimates suggest a potential of over 65 million pounds of uranium across the project area, providing Myriad with a substantial head start compared to many greenfield exploration projects.Myriad's CEO, Thomas Lamb, emphasizes the company's strategy to not only validate this historical data but to expand upon it. The company plans to commence drilling within weeks, focusing on high-grade zones that were previously overlooked. Lamb explains, "We've since discovered... that the high-grade mineralization sits in almost vertical structures instead of these flat-lying pods." This insight opens up the possibility of discovering higher-grade resources that could significantly enhance the project's economic potential.One of the key aspects of Myriad's approach is its plan to drill deeper than previous efforts. Historical drilling rarely went beyond 600 feet, but Myriad intends to explore down to 1,500 feet in some areas. This strategy could lead to the discovery of additional mineralization, potentially expanding the resource base significantly.Despite its relatively small market capitalization, Myriad has attracted attention from sophisticated investors. The company recently completed a successful fundraising round, with plans to raise up to $5 million to finance its exploration efforts. The ability to attract investment from experienced players in the uranium sector, including a personal investment from a prominent fund manager, suggests confidence in both the project's potential and the management team's ability to execute.However, investors should be aware of the risks associated with early-stage uranium exploration. While the historical data provides a strong foundation, Myriad still needs to validate and bring these resources up to current standards. The success of the upcoming drilling program in intercepting high-grade mineralization will be crucial in determining the project's value.The broader uranium market context adds another layer of potential to Myriad's story. With uranium prices showing signs of recovery and long-term contract prices trending upwards, the company is well-positioned to benefit from improving market conditions. Lamb notes, "Fundamentals are great. For those of us who are lucky and have a solid project, everybody wants to talk to us."For investors looking to gain exposure to the uranium sector, Myriad Uranium offers an intriguing proposition. The combination of extensive historical data, a focus on potential high-grade mineralization, and a strategic location in a uranium-friendly jurisdiction presents a unique opportunity. As the company advances its exploration efforts and works towards validating and expanding the historical resource, it has the potential to create significant value for shareholders in the context of a strengthening uranium market. —View Myriad Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/myriad-uraniumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
