Drivers in the minor metals market beyond 2020Neal Brewster
Unless you were selling gold or palladium 2019 was a somewhat disappointing year for most commodity markets. This was partly as a result of the inevitable supply response to an improvement in prices seen in 2018 but also reflected weakening demand growth over the course of the year. Subdued global economic growth seems likely to persist in 2020 and the number of risks to that growth remain significant.
Over the medium term, through, the outlook for the minor metals is positive. Whilst Chinese demand for commodities generally is slowing minor metals will benefit from "late cycle" demand and the majority of the world's population has yet to fully industrialise. For some minor metals demand growth will be supercharged by changes in end use markets - of which electric vehicles is an important (but only one) factor. On the supply side sustainability issues: Financial, consumer led and pressures from government and civil society will be rising challenges.
This presentation, from Roskill's recent New York conference, discusses some of these issues, the threats opportunities arising and some ways in which mining companies and metals consumers need to respond.
Let me know if interested in talking about any of this.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
