American Rare Earths Limited CEO Donald Swartz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the promising zircon co-product potential alongside Rare Earth Elements (REEs) processing at the Halleck Creek project. This development is part of a research collaboration with the School of Energy Resources at the University of Wyoming. Zircon supply is currently limited but is crucial for high-growth industries such as ceramics, electronics, and nuclear energy, all of which are experiencing increasing global demand. Zirconium, the primary mineral in zircon, can be efficiently separated and upgraded due to its high density. This process can be integrated into the REEs pre-concentration steps in the Halleck Creek flowsheet, potentially providing substantial economic value when produced as a co-product alongside REEs. Historical assay results for zirconium at Halleck Creek indicate an average in-situ grade of 2,077 parts per million (ppm), compared to the average crustal abundance of 300 ppm, highlighting the significant concentration at this site. Swartz explained that through their research collaboration with the University of Wyoming, ARR has found that zircon is more prevalent at Halleck Creek than previously believed. Current beneficiation work includes testing methods to separate and further concentrate zirconium using gravity separation and the magnetic removal of paramagnetic minerals to upgrade the material. These processes aim to maximize the economic potential of zircon as a co-product, enhancing the overall economics of the Halleck Creek project. The exploration and development efforts at Halleck Creek are focused on realizing the full potential of the site. The identification and extraction of zirconium alongside REEs could generate significant additional revenue for the project. This dual-product approach leverages the existing infrastructure and processes for REEs, making the extraction of zirconium both efficient and cost-effective. Swartz emphasized that this opportunity has the potential to transform the economic landscape of Halleck Creek. By diversifying the product output to include both REEs and zirconium, ARR is strategically positioning itself to capitalize on the growing demand for these critical materials. The successful integration of zirconium extraction into the REEs processing flow could lead to improved project viability and profitability. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearths #asx #arr #otcqb #arrnf #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

I'm doing a show about gold at the Edinburgh Fringe. If you are in Scotland between August 4th and August 20th, plesase come. It's at Panmure House in the room in which Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations. You can get tickets here.Thousands of years before the dawn of civilisation, as prehistoric man hunted and gathered his way through the Stone Age, he might have come across six native metals - metals which occur in nature in a relatively pure state: silver, tin, lead, iron, copper and goldHe found gold in river beds - nuggets, mixed in with sediment, relatively easy to find, collect and shape. Gold doesn't naturally combine with other metals in nature, so it is easy to identify. It shone, it glistened and so man adorned himself with it - as well as with bones, teeth, precious stones and shells. Archaeological evidence from Spanish caves shows that gold was used by human societies as early as 40,000 years ago. This predates agriculture and the development of settled communities. It is the earliest example of human use of any kind of metal, and its purpose was as jewellery. The first records of man using copper came tens of thousands of years later. Lead, tin and iron's first use, when advances in metallurgy took us into the Bronze Age, came even later. The use of gold for personal adornment was an established practice, even in prehistory. (Even copper's first use was as jewellery). It is easy to make anthropological interpretations. Gold, a symbol of beauty, power and status, also indicates reproductive fitness: Look at me, I have access to this rare, shiny substance.Stone Age man had the same basic instincts as we do today - the same urges, desires and compulsions: fear, desire, love, hate, greed. Nothing inspires greed like gold. Survival is the most basic compulsion: to find water, food and shelter, for yourself and for those close to you. Then there is the survival of your species: the need to reproduce. If you are to survive, thrive and reproduce, so does the species as a whole grow stronger. Thus can an individual's self-interest be good for the species as a whole. What often goes unmentioned, though, is our instinct for beauty.  What we find beautiful is also often good for us in some way. We are instinctively repulsed or alarmed by things that are dangerous – snakes, spiders, a cliff edge, loud noises - but things that aid our survival we find beautiful - the sound of running water, a fit and healthy potential mate, an open landscape with water, varied animal and plant life, good visibility and shelter. And we find gold beautiful. The experience of beauty, whether derived from nature, art, music or even mathematics, correlates with activity in the emotional brain - in the medial orbito-frontal cortex. Beauty has long been associated by philosophers with truth and purity – also qualities commonly associated with gold. Our instinct for gold and the emotions it inspires from beauty to desire are basic. There has not been a culture in all history that did not appreciate the value of gold. It is a primal instinct. “The desire for gold,” said Wall Street trader Gerald Loeb, “is the most universal and deeply rooted commercial instinct of the human race.”The artefacts found in those Spanish caves suggest that the people who lived in them had some basic skills. (Gold, which is relatively soft, is fairly easy to shape even using simple tools). Like shells, bones, stones, even hand axes, gold would have been used as reward as well as for decoration: as an expression of gratitude, as a prize for completing a task, for heroic deeds, as a tool in barter and exchange - as early money, in other words,. Even in prehistory gold was performing the role it has always performed - and always will: to store, display and exchange value. Subscribe to this brilliant newsletter.Transcendent Treasure: Gold's Link to the DivineGiven its unique characteristics - beautiful, eternal, immutable - it is no surprise that  gold found special status at the dawn of civilization. Our prehistoric ancestors cherished gold even before they were able to speak. Nor did that captivation fade after pre-history. Whether Asian, African, American, Mediterranean, Germanic or Celtic, gold occupies a place in the history and mythology of almost every ancient culture, the most valuable of all metals. As money, it was at the core of all their economies, however primitive.Today we know of 90 metals or more. Many you've probably never heard of, let alone touched or seen.  The likes of Cesium, Nihonium, Flerovium, Moscovium, Livermorium, Yttrium or Zirconium. Until the 13th century we knew of just seven: gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, iron, and mercury. There were also only seven known celestial bodies: the sun, the moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Each metal came to be associated with a celestial body - silver with the moon, iron, rusty and red, with Mars, Mercury with its namesake, Jupiter with tin. With its glimmering yellow colour, gold was associated with the sun. To the ancient Greeks, and other cultures besides, the sun was a golden chariot driven by the sun god, Apollo, across the sky each day. The Egyptian sun god Ra was depicted as a yellow blaze of gold. The Incas of South America believed gold to be the sweat or tears of the sun. The Latin word for gold, aurum, derives from Aurora, the goddess of dawn, who rose each morning to announce the sun's arrival. The root of the word by which the Celts and Greeks referred to gold was the Sanskrit “Harat” which means colour of the sun. Plato and Aristotle both thought gold was actually obtained by combining intense sunlight with water.The symbol for the Sun (a circle with a dot in it - ☉) was once the alchemical symbol for gold. There are seven days of the week, too, and in many cultures so did each metal come to be associated with a day. Gold's day, of course, was Sunday.Tell someone about this really interesting article.While silver was perceived as feminine, gold was a masculine metal, connected not just with the sun but with the lion, a symbol of strength. This association lives on today, from the lion rampant (standing on its hind legs) found on so many family crests to the three gold lions on the English coat of arms. Gold represented wealth, prosperity, authority and charisma. It was a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment, its radiant qualities mirroring the illumination provided by the sun. And so scholars and sages adorned themselves with it to reflect their intellectual and spiritual pursuits.The sun's energy was thought to have infused gold with special healing properties. Ancient healers and priests often used gold in their remedies and elixirs, attributing its regenerative powers to the sun's life-giving energy. Wearing gold could help physical well-being and aid in recovery from ailments. The ancient Greek sun god Apollo was the god of healing and diseases, while his son, Asclepius, was the god of medicine. Apollo delivered people from epidemics, but could bring ill-health and deadly plague. Modern science confirms these instincts, with Vitamin D, which we get from sunlight, now being seen as so important for our general well-being. As the sun was a guardian against darkness and evil, so could gold ward off negative energies and offer spiritual protection, thus talismans and amulets were often made of gold. Kings and queens decorated their bodies with gold to demonstrate their power, to impress, to dazzle, to command and to authenticate their god-like status. Because of gold's imperishable characteristics many imbued it with divine qualities, and it is forever associated with the eternal, the permanent and the incorruptible. From Hercules' quest for the Golden Apples of Hesperides (which bestowed immortality) to King Arthur's knights' search for the Holy Grail to Frodo's attempt to destroy the precious ring of power in The Lord of the Rings, gold has become a symbol of incorruptible quest, purity, ambition and purpose. The golden thread left for Theseus by his lover Ariadne to help him escape the minotaur and the labyrinth symbolises an enlightened or clear path. Even today the young student gets a gold star, the athlete a gold medal. It is a symbol of achievement.In Scotland between Aug 4th and Aug 20? I'm doing a show about gold at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Today on Holistic Dentistry, we review the dangerous ingredients that are commonly used in conventional dental cleanings. Most dentists are unaware that their products contain toxic chemicals, so it is up to you to advocate for healthier options. We hope to support you on your journey to holistic health by analyzing these compounds and educating you on their uses and the known risks associated with them.  Toxic chemicals such as aluminum hydroxide, zirconium silicate, fluoride, and even gluten, are frequently used for teeth cleanings. In large doses, these ingredients can have serious side effects, and with many dentists recommending bi-annual cleanings, you run the risk of unnecessary toxic exposure.  These ingredients are dangerous, but we do have alternatives. With this podcast, we hope to build awareness and educate patients so that we can replace these toxic chemicals with holistic ingredients. Join us as we educate and advocate for healthier ingredients.   Key Takeaways: [1:00] Toxic ingredients found in common tooth polish  [3:00] Risks of chronic exposure from Zirconium silicate   [5:00] How Silicone Carbide affects asthmatic patients  [7:00] Side effects of Aluminum hydroxide  [12:00] Artificial colors and flavors  [16:00] Requesting gluten-free paste  [21:00] What's the problem with fluoride treatments  [27:00] How Glutoalerhyde irritates the gums, eyes, nose, and throat   Resources: BeverlyHillsDentalHealth.com |  Instagram  DrSandaMoldovan.com | Instagram  Orasana.com | Instagram  Orasana Water Jet Heal Up!

How did gold come into existence? No one really knows.Its origins are thought to lie in supernovae and the collision of neutron stars. It was present in the dust which formed the solar system four and a half billion years ago and came to earth via the asteroids that then bombarded the planet.According to the Bible, gold and silver are products of God. “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts” in the book of Genesis. Although - given that in those days the distinction between God and King was not that always that distinct - that might he been a ploy to control capital.Given its unique characteristics - beautiful, eternal, immutable - it is no surprise that  gold found special status at the dawn of civilisation. Our prehistoric ancestors cherished gold even before they were able to speak. Nor did that captivation fade after pre-history. Whether Asian, African, American, Mediterranean, Germanic or Celtic, gold occupies a place in the history, legend, mythology and folklore of almost every ancient culture: the most prized of all metals. Today we know of 90 or more metals. Many you've probably never heard of, let alone touched or seen.  The likes of Cesium, Nihonium, Flerovium, Moscovium, Livermorium, Yttrium or Zirconium. But until the 13th century we knew of just seven: gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, iron, and mercury. There were also only seven known celestial bodies: the sun, the moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Each metal came to be associated with a celestial body - silver, light and shining, with the moon, iron, rusty and red, with Mars, Mercury with its namesake, Jupiter with tin. With its glimmering yellow colour, gold was associated with the sun.To the ancient Greeks, and other cultures besides, the sun was a golden chariot driven by the sun god, Apollo, across the sky each day. The Egyptian sun god Ra was depicted as a yellow blaze of gold. The Incas of South America believed gold to be the “sweat of the sun.” The Latin word for gold, aurum, derives from Aurora, the goddess of dawn, who rose each morning to announce the sun's arrival. The root of the word by which the Celts and Greeks referred to gold was the Sanskrit “Harat” which means colour of the sun. The symbol for the Sun (a circle with a dot in it - ☉)  was once the alchemical symbol for gold. Plato and Aristotle both thought gold was obtained by combining intense sunlight with water. We actually find gold in tiny particles embedded in ancient rocks, or as grains or nuggets in riverbeds where it collects after rushing water eroded away the rocks.There are seven days of the week too, and so did each metal come to be associated with a day. Gold's day, of course, was Sunday.Unlike feminine silver, gold is a masculine metal, connected not just with the sun but with the lion, a symbol of strength. It represents wealth, prosperity, authority and charisma. It was an aid to healing, to protection, to growth, and knowledge - all qualities associated with the sun and the gods of the sun. The ancient Greek sun god Apollo was also the god of healing and diseases, while his son, Asclepius, was the god of medicine. Apollo delivered people from epidemics. What's that about Vitamin D (which we get from sunlight) being an aid against COVID, while Vitamin D deficiency is linked to more severe cases? Apollo was also a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague.Gold, like obscurity, is immortal. It is permanent, never rusting, nor tarnishing.

How did gold come into existence? No one really knows.Its origins are thought to lie in supernovae and the collision of neutron stars. It was present in the dust which formed the solar system four and a half billion years ago and came to earth via the asteroids that then bombarded the planet.According to the Bible, gold and silver are products of God. “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts” in the book of Genesis. Although - given that in those days the distinction between God and King was not that always that distinct - that might he been a ploy to control capital.Given its unique characteristics - beautiful, eternal, immutable - it is no surprise that  gold found special status at the dawn of civilisation.

 Il était une fois le lapidaire ou l'art de faire briller les pierres En latin « lapis » veut simplement dire « pierre » et le mot lapidaire vient du latin lapidarius qui signifie « taillé dans la pierre ». Aussi le mot lapidaire, pour ceux qui n'ont pas fait de latin peut prêter à confusion.  Pour mémoire quand Marbode, l'évêque de Rennes, publie « De lapidis » ou « Liber lapidum, seu De gemmis », « De lapidibus » avant 1090, il exprime ainsi Le Poème des pierres précieuses. Et le traité du chevalier Jean de Mandeville qui était né vers 1300 dont le titre est “le Lapidaire” contient une description des pierres précieuses et de leurs vertus magiques mais rien du tout concernant la taille de pierre. Alors le mot « lapidaire » depuis l'antiquité où l'on trouve les écrits de Pline l'ancien ou encore Damigéron et pendant le Moyen Age s'applique aux écrits et à ceux qui cherchent à connaitre les pierres gemmes, les classifier, rechercher leurs particularités voire leurs pouvoirs. Et pourtant, les lapidaires-tailleurs de pierre s'inscrivent dans une tradition remontant au IIe siècle avant Jésus-Christ. En soit, la taille des pierres date des australopithèques et la pierre polie du Néolithique. Mais je vais me concentrer sur le domaine de la joaillerie où le lapidaire est celui qui taille les pierres précieuses et les pierres fines de façon à révéler toute leur beauté et les rendre dignes d'orner les bijoux pour en faire de véritables joyaux.  Une dernière précision de vocabulaire, le lapidaire taille toutes les pierres gemmes SAUF le diamant, qui lui, est taillé par un diamantaire, ce qui apporte d'autres confusions parce que celui qui vend et connait les diamants s'appelle aussi diamantaire, mais cela fera l'objet d'un autre podcast. Globalement il y a 3 procédés pour polir et tailler les pierres gemmes. Il y a d'abord les pierres roulées. Elles sont polies et poncées dans un tonneau avec des abrasifs. Les contours des pierres sont adoucis. Par exemple, les pierres que l'on prend en main pour faire de la méditation ou celles des massages aux pierres chaudes sont des pierres roulées. Leurs touchers sont agréables mais cette technique ne permet pas de révéler toute la beauté des gemmes. En effet, le secret du lapidaire est de savoir révéler l'intensité de la couleur et la brillance ou les feux des pierres et pour cela le lapidaire est un Maître en géométrie comme en réflexion de la lumière. Le second procédé est la taille en cabochon. Un cabochon est une pierre qui est coupée et forme un fond plat et dont le haut est poli, arrondi ou convexe. Dans l'Antiquité, quand on ne savait pas encore facetter les pierres, les gemmes étaient toutes taillée en cabochon ce qui permettait de concentrer l'intensité de leur couleur.  Et aujourd'hui, la taille cabochon est privilégiée pour les pierres opaques ou celles qui ont des propriétés optiques spéciales comme l'effet d'étoile qu'on appelle l'astérisme, ou par exemple l'effet d'oeil du chat qui vient de la chatoyance, l'irisation que l'on voit sur les labradorites ou l'adularescence que l'on trouve par exemple dans les pierres de lune. Comme la taille cabochon permet de mettre en valeur l'intensité de la couleur, elle est quelquefois utilisée pour garder le maximum de valeur à des gemmes de qualité moyenne et garder un poids intéressant puisque la valeur d'une pierre est aussi déterminée par son caratage. Mais cette taille cabochon peut aussi être choisie parce que le joaillier l'a décidé ainsi. Cette taille cabochon peut aussi être façonnée avec des coins arrondis ce qui crée une sorte de dôme à pan coupé, on parle alors de forme « pain de sucre ». La Maison Fred est très connue pour ce type de taille. Et quand la gemme est de forme cabochon sur le dessus mais facettée en dessous on parle alors de « cabochon suiffée », la pierre a alors une couleur intense mais le facettage du dessous produit un éclairage tout en douceur, un vrai raffinement. Le troisième procédé du lapidaire est bien sûr la taille à facettes. Il n'y a pas une date précise d'invention du facettage mais plutôt des évolutions techniques qui ont amené les lapidaires d'aujourd'hui vers un perfectionnement dont l'objet est de rendre la gemme étincelante et réfléchissant la lumière de tous ses feux. Dès le XIIIe et XIVe siècle on voit apparaitre quelques pierres facettées. Vers 1476, l'invention d'une roue horizontale qui permettait de meuler donne la possibilité de créer des plans facettés compliqués et un facettage géométrique et symétrique.  Aussi dès la Renaissance, l'art lapidaire se développe à Bruges, Venise, Florence puis dans l'ensemble de l'Europe. En France, Mazarin, grand amateur de pierres précieuses, encourage le travail des lapidaires et joue un rôle important dans la promotion de ce métier dont la région du Jura est un lieu historique. Les efforts d'innovation se concentrent d'abord sur le diamant et une première taille en brillant, c'est-à-dire la forme ronde, aurait été créée par Louis de Berquen, à Bruges, en 1485. Mais c'est en 1919 qu'un ingénieur et diamantaire belge, Marcel Tolkowsky, publie un traité théorique sur les dimensions idéales du diamant. Il définit des angles de coupe de 41 degrés pour les pavillons et de 34 degrés pour les couronnes. La taille brillant comporte donc 58 facettes parfaitement régulières, ce qui donne au diamant le maximum d'éclat quitte à diminuer un peu son poids. A partir des travaux de Tolkowsky, les lapidaires vont s'attacher à privilégier les feux d'une gemme et la norme s'étend à toutes les pierres précieuses et fines et pas seulement au diamant. Au-delà de la taille brillant, combien de tailles connaissez-vous et comment les fait-on ? J'identifiais la taille émeraude celle qui ressemble à la forme de la place Vendôme, la taille baguette qui est rectangulaire, la taille poire qui est ronde en bas et pointue sur le dessus, la taille marquise qui ressemble à un œil, la briolette qui crée comme une résille sur toute la pierre et bien sûr la taille cœur. Et en fait j'étais assez fière de moi car je pensais connaitre le principal. Mais comme je vérifie toujours, je suis allée à la rencontre de Sébastien Hourrègue, un lapidaire qui sous la marque Sebstones officie au cœur de l'Atelier de l'Objet, situé en parallèle du faubourg Saint Honoré près de la place Vendôme. En véritable amoureux des gemmes, il m'explique le respect des lapidaires pour cette matière si spéciale et si ancienne qu'ils se considèrent modestement comme des passeurs, chargés de la magnifier et de la sublimer.  Il me montre les différentes meules avec lesquelles il travaille. Ce sont des sortes de disques soit diamantées dans la masse soit diamantés par électrolyse qu'il choisit selon le grain dont il a besoin pour polir et tailler. Elles sont couleur acier mais quand on les regarde de près on voit le reflet de lignes croisées qui chatoient de reflets bronze. Il en prend grand soin et les fait re-surfacer chaque année.    Pour me faire comprendre le geste du lapidaire, il prend ce qu'il appelle un crayon et qui est un embout métallique, il met à l'extrémité un peu de cire qu'il appelle un ciment, chauffe le tout et quand le ciment est souple il ajuste dessus une pierre. L'embout métallique est alors mis dans une gaine qui est composée de 64 à 128 crans pour faire tourner la gemme par rapport à la meule. Sébastien pose d'un côté la pierre sur la meule et l'autre côté de son « crayon » spécial s'insère dans une évention qui comporte une trentaine de trous permettant de donner un angle précis à la facette. Il m'explique que la taille d'une pierre a pour objectif de créer la réfraction de la lumière parfaite. Le facettage a pour but de faire circuler la lumière dans la pierre entre la couronne c'est-à-dire le dessus et la culasse c'est-à-dire le dessous.  Il s'agit d'atteindre l'angle idéal qui est celui où la réflexion de la lumière est totale sans dépasser l'angle critique, qui permettrait à la lumière de fuir la gemme comme elle le fait en traversant une fenêtre, d'où le terme de « pierre fenêtre ».  Et bien sûr chaque type de pierre a sont propre indice de réfraction et donc un angle critique différent et donc les degrés pour tailler la culasses comme la couronne sont tous différents.  La ligne de jonction entre la taille de la couronne et de la culasse est le feuilletis. Le lapidaire doit la réussir la plus plate et la plus mince possible. Comme le feuillettis est au confluent des courbes et des angles, il pourrait avoir naturellement une forme de feston, ce que méprise les lapidaires qui visent à amincir ces lignes de clôtures pour plus d'élégance ce qui démontrent aussi leur dextérité. Au-delà de créer la forme d'une pierre, le lapidaire peut aussi intervenir pour l'améliorer. Il peut « ajuster sur œuvre » c'est-à-dire retailler une pierre pour qu'elle s'insère parfaitement dans un bijou. Il peut repolir une pierre pour lui redonner de l'éclat parce que quand on vit avec son bijou, au bout d'un moment la pierre subit des altérations qui la ternissent. Mais le lapidaire peut aussi valoriser une pierre. S'il y a un petit éclat dans la culasse, une petite imperfection qui n'est pas centrale ou si la couleur n'est pas uniforme. En effet si une pierre n'a pas une couleur identique partout, en la taillant de façon à focaliser la couleur au centre de la culasse on lui donne une visibilité homogène. Mais ce qui m'a le plus bluffé c'est quand Sébastien Hourrègue m'a montré différents types de taille. D'abord je croyais les connaitre mais en fait il y en a beaucoup plus : taille ovale, coussin, Asscher, Ceylan, radiant, trillion et encore ce ne sont que des tailles conventionnelles. On appelle non-conventionnelle toutes les autres. Ce genre de taille reflète de façon magistrale l'art du lapidaire mais le consommateur habituel ne les connait pas ce qui fait par ailleurs le bonheur de connaisseur collectionneur. Pour expliciter ces tailles non-conventionnelles, Sébastien commence par me montrer la taille du célèbre diamant bleu de louis XIV qu'il a reproduit, en CZ Oxyde de Zirconium, une matière de synthèse créé en laboratoire pour imiter le diamant.  Puis il me présente une améthyste d'une forme générale presque poire mais qui montre à partir du centre une multitude de tailles qui produit à la fois une impression de rayonnement et de profondeur tout en donnant l'illusion de multiples couches comme la dentelle bouillonnante de la jupe haute-couture d'une débutante présentée à la cour. Puis Sébastien me montre une autre taille. Il me présente en parallélépipède rectangle dont la taille donne l'impression de faire courir sur toutes les faces des entailles franches et droites comme des branches de sapin. Enfin, Sébastien me dévoile une pièce qu'il avait réalisée pour un concours. Dans un cercle, une tête d'ange solaire, façon Louis XIV, irradie à l'infini et se reflète tout ou partie, en concave et convexe sur les strates d'un heptagone à différent pan coupé. Une pure merveille !  Ainsi se termine cette histoire d'Il était une fois le bijou sur la profession de lapidaire, défini en France par arrêté et qui appartient à la liste des métiers d'art. Je vous souhaite une jolie semaine et vous donne rendez-vous dimanche prochain. Si cette histoire vous a plus envoyez moi plein de bisous sur les réseaux sociaux d'Il était une fois le bijou et encouragez moi en partageant les bijoux bisous tout autour de vous. A bientôt pour un prochain bijou, un nouveau bisou du dimanche soir. Site Twitter Facebook Instagram LinkedIn

Dawg proudly presents King of the Monsters May25th 2019

We give you more this week with special guest Tahlya returning to join us once again, yay, this is awesome right from the start. This episode is full of fun and laughter, starting with a new record from a weird type of Zirconium at capturing and absorbing neutrons like a sponge. Johnny better watch out, he might get trapped.Then we look at the news from Venom 2 and the new director. Is it going to be good or bad? We don’t know yet but the premise holds strong, just hope that Guardians of the Galaxy survives the new director it is facing. The DJ has definitely delivered with this topic, although he makes a suggestion of a cameo from Spiderman, so not a cool idea.Then we give you even more again, with a double header from Tahlya with Resident Evil 2 news giving fans of the classic franchise. This then moves into the Kingdom Hearts latest release. This is confusing when we look at the release schedule. For example Kingdom Hearts X followed by Kingdom Heart 2.8. Seriously, did these guys employ an Apple genius reject? This leads into the most entertaining part of the episode when we discover Tahlya has an issue with David Cage, a Frenchman with the most inept directing style.

This week I have several items to discuss including a new company that is making a 3D identical titanium and Zirconium dental implant that is designed to fill the socket of an immediately extracted tooth.  This would be and will be an amazing technique and I am fascinated by the idea.  The episode ends with some dental fun facts!
