Rebroadcast September 26, 2014 It's been almost two months since 18 year old Michael Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson, MO police officer Darren Wilson, but the reverberations surrounding his death continue. Brown's death was the fourth last summer in as many weeks in which an African American man was killed by law enforcement. In a special conversation this week, Basic Black goes beyond the headlines to explore the racial, historical, and cultural underpinnings of the relationship of law enforcement to communities of color and the meaning of protest in a post-civil rights movement era.

People using a coworking space.; Credit: Cross Campus

In a sign of increased desire of professionals to work remotely, the successful Santa Monica shared workspace Cross Campus is opening a second location in Pasadena later this month, and the company hopes to open eight others in Southern California and beyond in the next two years. 

Dubbed by one user as  the “nerve center” of the Silicon Beach tech scene, Cross Campus opened its membership-based workspace facility in Santa Monica in 2012.   

But co-founder Ronen Olshansky said the shared workspace phenomenon isn't limited to coders. 

"Fewer and fewer people are making the traditional drive into the corporate office," Olshansky said. "They're working remotely as professionals, going off on their own as freelancers, or they're starting their own companies as entrepreneurs."  

A forecast from Forrester Research says that 43 percent of workers will telecommute by 2016, compared to estimates of about a quarter of the workforce telecommuting last year. 

Olshansky said that, for many people, working from home or in a coffee shop isn't productive. 

That's led shared workspaces to pop up in Los Angeles, Culver City and Santa Monica. Among them: Maker City L.A., WeWork, NextSpace, Coloft and Hub LA.  

Los Angeles-based tech investor David Waxman said these kind of shared spaces are crucial for the early stages of tech ventures.

"When you’re just starting out, and capital is very scarce, having not to commit to an entire office but having part of an office is very important," Waxman said.  “There comes a collective energy when a bunch of entrepreneurs get together in the same space, even if they’re not working on the same project."

And he said Pasadena is a good choice for a shared workspace.

"It is the home of Caltech, the Arts Center, and IdeaLab — probably the world’s first tech incubator — started there," he said.

But he said the need isn't limited to Pasadena.

"In Silver Lake, in South Pasadena, in Glendale, you see a lot of little pockets of  people getting together, and as soon as there’s a critical mass, we’ll see co-working spaces like Cross Campus come into being," said Waxman, who named his investment firm TenOneTen after the two freeways that connect Santa Monica and the Westside to Pasadena. 

Alex Maleki of IdeaLab in Pasadena is happy a well-known company is opening up in his city. 

"Anything that helps attract talent and capital to the region," Maleki said, "is absolutely fantastic."

Tectonic Metals Inc. (TSXV: TECT; OTCQB: TETOF; FSE: T15B) announced the successful closing of its private placement, which was significantly oversubscribed, raising CA$5,349,171. This amount surpassed the company's initial target. Initially announced on October 4, 2024, this extension raised an additional CA$1,691,712 through the issuance of 28,195,200 units priced at CA$0.06 per unit. This total combined the funds from the second tranche with those from the initial tranche and previous offering rounds.

Each unit in the placement includes one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant, with each full warrant exercisable at CA$0.10 until two years from the offering's close. LIFE units from the offering are freely tradeable, while non-LIFE units are subject to a four-month hold period. In this latest tranche, CA$591,708 was generated through LIFE units, with 9,861,800 common shares and 4,930,900 warrants issued, while HOLD units contributed CA$1,100,004, resulting in the issuance of 18,333,400 common shares and 9,166,700 warrants.

Finder's fees in cash totaling CA$98,143 were paid to Canaccord Genuity Corp., Haywood Securities Inc., Ventum Financial Corp., Roche Securities Ltd., Gerhard Merkel, and Black Oak Ventures Ltd. Additionally, Tectonic issued 1,635,714 non-transferable common share purchase warrants to these finders, each exercisable at CA$0.10 until November 1, 2026. The cumulative finder's fees for both the extended and initial offerings amount to CA$226,029, with 3,767,153 finder's warrants issued. This private placement was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV).

Why Gold?

On October 29, Kitco Media's Gary Wagner reported on gold nearing US$2,800, attributing this surge to a mix of "geopolitical conflicts, Federal Reserve interest rate normalization, and strong demand from global central banks." This combination, which Wagner referred to as a "perfect storm," has pushed gold prices up by approximately 35% this year. Emerging market central banks have notably increased their gold reserves as part of a strategic shift away from the U.S. dollar, adding further support to the metal's robust price performance.

Further insights from LiveMint on October 30 revealed a strong performance in the gold sector, with MCX gold rates surging in India. This was partly fueled by cultural factors and a rise in retail demand. Chintan Mehta, CEO of Abans Holdings, emphasized gold's safe-haven appeal, stating, "Gold stands out in times of uncertainty . . . a complete safe-haven unlike silver." Despite potential near-term dips, Mehta suggested that such declines would present valuable buying opportunities amid continued demand for gold.

In a November 4 report, Egon von Greyerz, founder of VON GREYERZ AG, highlighted the consistent historical role of gold as a protective asset. He took particular note of gold's rise in times of financial instability. He observed, "Gold doesn't lie…an ounce of gold in 1923 was worth 87 trillion Marks," underscoring gold's resilience during currency devaluations. He further anticipated that gold's journey was "only starting now," driven by the ongoing devaluation of fiat currencies.

Tectonic's Catalysts

The capital raised through Tectonic's private placement aims to support exploration and development at the company's Flat Gold Project in Alaska, a promising district-scale opportunity for open-pit heap leach gold mining. As outlined in the company's October 2024 investor update, Tectonic has prioritized "economic mine" criteria, highlighting heap leach processing potential, high gold recovery rates, and infrastructure access through on-site airstrips and nearby river barge routes, which reduce logistical costs.

The company's exploration strategy benefits from strong partnerships and technical expertise, particularly its milestone partnership with Doyon Limited, Alaska's largest private landholder, and Crescat Capital, which together hold significant ownership in Tectonic. Additionally, Tectonic's technical team has established a 100% drill success rate at the Chicken Mountain target, identifying zones of gold mineralization and potential higher-grade starter pits. According to Tectonic's October 2024 presentation, the company's "disciplined, upfront de-risking strategy" aims to secure long-term value and sustainable operational progress at the Flat Gold Project.

Analysts Talk Tectonic

Additionally, Maund remarked on Tectonic's strategic partnerships. These include Doyon Ltd., which holds nearly 10% of the company's stock, underscoring strong local support and shareholder stability. These factors contributed to his confidence in the stock's growth potential, concluding that the current price represented a strong entry point.

"By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith" (Heb. 11:7).

True faith works.

When James said, "Faith without works is dead" (James 2:26), he stated a principle that's consistent throughout Scripture: True faith always produces righteous works.

The people described in Hebrews 11 made their genuine faith known in the things they did. The same applies to us today. Paul said, "The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age" (Titus 2:11-12).

Perhaps better than anyone else in history, Noah illustrates the obedience of faith. Scripture characterizes him as "a righteous man, blameless in his time . . . [who] walked with God" (Gen. 6:9).

I remember a sportscaster interviewing a professional football player and asking him what he thought of his team's chances of winning the Super Bowl. The player replied, "We believe that if we just do what the coach says, we'll win." The team had absolute confidence in their coach, but they realized they had to do their part as well.

That illustrates the quality of faith Noah had in God, whom he trusted absolutely as he pursued a task that seemed utterly foolish and useless from a human perspective. Imagine instantly surrendering all your time and effort to devote 120 years to building something you'd never seen (a vessel the size of an ocean liner or battleship) to protect you from something you'd never experienced (rain and flooding). Yet Noah did it without question.

Noah's faith is unique in the sheer magnitude and time span of the task God gave him to do. He didn't argue with God or deviate from his assignment. Is that true of you? Are you pursuing your ministry as faithfully and persistently as Noah did his? Is your faith a faith that works?

Suggestions for Prayer

Thank God for the ministry He's called you to. If you sense there's more you could be doing, ask Him for guidance. Pray for added faithfulness and tenacity in serving Him.

Read the account of Noah in Genesis 6:1—9:17.

Beyond The Door

Directed by Ovidio G. Assonitis (as O. Hellman) and released in 1974, a year after The Exorcist proved to be box office gold, Beyond The Door introduces us to Jessica Barrett (Juliet Mills), her husband Robert (Gabriele Lavia) and their two kids, smart-mouthed Gail (Barbara Fiorini) and pea soup loving Ken (Davd Colin Jr.). They live a good life and seem quite happy together, but when it turns out that Jessica is pregnant, things get a little tense. Regardless, they decide they'll make the best of the situation but after a visit to Dr. George Staton (Nino Segurini), a man who also happens to be their best friend, Jessica realizes that something is odd: she figures she can't be more than a few weeks into her pregnancy, while he insists she has to be at least three months.

Fr. Philip calls us to engage in the practices of prayer, fasting and generosity - the basic building blocks of Christian faithfulness.

Fr. Philip LeMasters reflects on the struggle to believe when the circumstances we face seem overwhelming, growing in faith into the image of Christ.

The Lord said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” The only way to shine like a city on a hill or a lamp on a stand in a world darkened by sin is to live in a way that provides a beacon of hope for the fulfillment of the human person in God.

Christ did not offer Himself on the Cross and rise from the dead in order to make us well-adjusted citizens of this world, but to heal every dimension of our brokenness so that we will shine brilliantly with His divine glory.

Through the Lord’s great Self-Offering, even the most wretched person may enter into the blessedness of the Kingdom through humble faith and repentance. Even the most notorious sinner may become a glorious saint and shine brightly with eternal glory.

We have everything that we need to follow in the path of the apostles and saints in humbly obeying our Lord. That is how we can become radiant with the divine glory and obey the Savior’s calling: “Follow Me.”

Holy Week is not a time for rational theological speculation and argument. It is, instead, a time for entering into the deep mystery of the love of our Lord, of the great “I AM” Who remains infinitely beyond our full comprehension.

Fr. John explores how the Church began to address, confront, and challenge the pagan culture of the Roman Empire, particularly during the third century.
