Owen Beck wanted for Rangers transfer but there is one condition
The former Dundee defender spent last season on loan at Blackburn Rovers from Liverpool Rangers are keen to land Owen Beck but it could depend on Ridvan Yilmaz being sold. The Light Blues have confirmed an interest in the Liverpool left-back. They have indicated they would be keen on a permanent deal but it would depend on Yilmaz going. The Turkish defender has been consistently linked to a move back home since he arrived at Ibrox. The 24-year-old has been trailed by the likes of former club Besiktas and Galatasaray. Rangers are aware of interest again and could sell this summer if the price is right. Russell Martin is looking to put his own stamp on the squad and that is why he has already brought in Max Aarons and has targeted Conor Coady. Beck is another who fits the bill but Rangers also have Jefte and are unlikely to bring in a third left-back. Beck has previously shown up well in a loan spell at Dundee and was previously a target for Celtic. He has struggled to break into the Liverpool first-team on a regular basis and has also been out on loan at Blackburn Rovers. English Championship new boys Wrexham have also been linked with a move for Beck.

ARIANNE PHOSPHATE ANNOUNCES PARTICIPATION IN GRANT AWARD FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF QUEBEC Français
SAGUENAY, QC, June 25, 2025 /CNW/ - Arianne Phosphate (the "Company" or "Arianne") (TSXV: DAN) (OTCQX: DRRSF) (FRANKFURT: JE9N), a development-stage phosphate mining company, advancing the Lac à Paul project in Quebec's Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, is pleased to announce that Minister Blanchette Vezina, Minister of Natural Resources and Forests, recently announced the awarding of several grants totalling over $750,000 for R&D projects in the circular economy of critical and strategic minerals. As part of these grants, Arianne, with two other companies, received funding to participate in a project aimed at strengthening the supply chain for local integration of the Lithium-Iron-Phosphate ("LFP") sector in Quebec. For Arianne, the objective is to reduce the environmental impact and production costs associated with the optimization of inputs and processes association with lithium-iron-phosphate production using purified phosphoric acid. In 2024, both the Quebec and Canadian governments added the phosphate-bearing mineral apatite to their respective critical mineral lists. As well, in June of 2024, Arianne published a prefeasibility study on a downstream facility to produce purified phosphoric acid ("PPA") from high-purity phosphate concentrate. PPA is a necessary ingredient for use in both the food industry and advanced battery technologies. Considerable interest has been shown in advanced battery technologies and the growing use of LFP batteries in both electric vehicles and energy storage systems. In 2024, the LFP battery became the most widely used battery chemistry globally. Arianne's Lac à Paul deposit is geologically rare (igneous) allowing the Company to produce a phosphate concentrate that is ideally suited for integration into the LFP ecosystem and, the Company is widely regarded as having an opportunity to address the growing Western demand as supply chains shift from China. Discussions with industry players continue to advance and the Company has been active in this pursuit. Over the past month, Arianne has participated in several conferences and, is proud to be a Silver Sponsor and presenter at the Oreba3 battery technology conference to be held in Montreal July 6-8, 2025, to discuss the use of phosphate in the LFP battery and the opportunities for the Company. As well, Arianne has granted 600,000 stock options to Mr. Jeffrey Beck, CEO of Arianne Phosphate, in lieu of any salary or cash remuneration for his employment with the Company. These options entitle Mr. Beck to purchase one common share of the Company until June 23, 2035, at a price of $0.155 per share, this being the closing price of the Company's shares on the trading day of the grant. The options are subject to a vesting period and are also subject to regulatory approval. Mr. Beck added, "continuing to tie my remuneration to the future fortunes of the Company is a welcomed opportunity as prospects for the Company look very encouraging."

I'm the CEO of Rocket Lab. I get up at 4:30, avoid meetings, and fly a helicopter — here's a typical day in my life.
Peter Beck is the founder and CEO of Rocket Lab, one of SpaceX's biggest rivals. Beck travels to the California headquarters and watches launches, but mainly lives in New Zealand. His daily routine includes an early wake-up, a mandatory sweet at lunch, and very few breaks. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Peter Beck, the founder and CEO of Rocket Lab. It's been edited for length and clarity. I started Rocket Lab in 2006, after skipping out on college. We began in New Zealand as a small advanced technology house and launched our first rocket in 2009. Eventually, I went to Silicon Valley and raised our first bit of capital. That's when we started building Electron, our partially reusable two-stage rocket, and we're now working on Neutron, our medium-lift rocket scheduled to launch this year. The company has gone from generating a few million to hundreds of millions in revenue. It's felt like a sprint pretty much the entire time. Here's a typical day in my life when I'm working from New Zealand, instead of traveling to our California headquarters or watching a rocket launch. I wake up between 4:30 and 5:00 every morning I'm a terrible sleeper, which at least makes it easy for me to get out of bed each morning. When my body naturally wakes up between 4:30 and 5:00 am, I first check to see if anything critical has happened overnight — if something has, I'll head down to my office, because I don't want wake my wife. It's already morning or midday in America when I wake up, so I jump straight into emails even if nothing massive happened in the few hours I was asleep. By 6:00, I'm in the shower; by 7:00, I'm on the road to work. The drive is around 45 minutes, and I usually use it for phone calls. Most days I wear a tee shirt or maybe a quarter zip to work. You're lucky if you ever see me in a suit. I avoid coffee, though not by choice. I love the taste, but it makes me feel terrible, so I settle for catching whiffs of others' drinks. My desk is pretty bare — other than the bits of old rocket I start my day by saying hello to the people around me. There's no pump, no fanfare. We just dive straight into work. Rocket Lab's offices are open-air, but our lawyers recently got annoyed at me for having sensitive conversations in public, so we built a meeting room next to my desk. Now, I nip in there for any confidential calls. With the private meeting space, my desk got even sparser. I used to have a few photos, but now it's just my laptop and bits of rocket from old launches. Some are reminders of success, others reminders that this business can bite you in the ass at any moment. Other than the rocket remnants, I'm a big fan of Post-Its. I have a row of them across the bottom of my computer screen. All the way left are the most urgent problems, and farthest right are things I can deal with later. I like technical questions and avoid all but the most necessary meetings When there are challenges, I enjoy getting into the engineering details. Nowadays, I'm dealing with a lot of technical and production questions about Neutron. These unexpected moments are the most intellectually stimulating parts of each day. I try to avoid meetings whenever I can, but there are a few scheduled ones I have to attend. We have a set of rules in each meeting room, and if you're not adding value, you should leave. If there's a choice to make, I'd much rather pull up a chair at someone's desk than call a lengthy group meeting. I don't take many breaks during the day — I'm at work to get stuff done. Biology calls, though, and when I'm hungry, I'll go down to the cafe for lunch. The cafe didn't serve cake initially, so I mandated that there has to be a sweet at the end of every lunch. Now, there's always a slice of cake to choose from, along with an ice cream machine. Most days, I try to eat with a random group in the cafeteria, though I'll bring my plate to my desk when it's especially busy. I always try to make it home for family dinner I try to leave the office a little bit after 5 to get home in time for dinner with my wife and two teenage kids. I'm not normally involved in the cooking, which is probably for the best. We're all busy people, but there aren't excuses for skipping out on the meal, which is usually the most enjoyable part of my day. We're all jokers, so dinner often consists of us talking about our days or taking digs. After dinner, it's back to work. My time at home is for deeper thinking, whereas my time at the office is for solving practical problems. If I have a big choice to make, I'll collect opinions throughout the day and then eventually sit down with a glass of wine to mull it over. I go to sleep as soon as I start to get ineffective, which is earlier and earlier these days, typically around 10 or 11 p.m. I'm an active relaxer — which can include helicopters or race cars I consider myself an active relaxer, meaning I have to do an activity to destress. My favorite way to active relax is to fly a helicopter. When I'm flying, I have to shut out everything else, or I risk crashing. I try to fly at least one hour each week, usually on a Sunday or a Monday. Occasionally, I'll relax by flying a jet or driving a race car — really anything where there's no possibility of thinking about work.

Rangers ‘keen on Liverpool star as they plan transfer swoop 12 months after Celtic targeted him'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS will be looking to ramp up their transfer business as the Champions League qualifiers edge closer and closer. And the Gers are reportedly monitoring the situation of a very familiar face indeed. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Owen Beck in action for Liverpool Credit: AP 3 Beck enjoyed a stellar spell in Scotland with Dundee Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 He was named to the PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the Year in 2024 Credit: Willie Vass Rangers' new American supremos Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe were in Glasgow in Monday as shareholders voted through their investment plans at an EGM. It means the planned £20million cash injection from the US owners has now been rubber-stamped and transfer business can now get underway. Lyall Cameron is the only new addition so far, with the midfielder having signed a pre-contract agreement back in January to join from Dundee. A deal for Max Aarons looks to be extremely close with the Bournemouth right-back having been spotted in Glasgow. Now, the Gers have been credited with an interest in a player on the other side of the defence. According to The Times, the Light Blues are 'keen' on signing Owen Beck from Liverpool. Rangers' interest comes just a year after he was heavily linked with a move to Celtic. Beck, 22, is a familiar face to Scottish football fans after a successful time of things at Dundee. A Liverpool academy product, Beck spent the first half of the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Dens Park and received much acclaim for his performances. Dee fans were gutted when the Reds recalled back at the start of the January transfer window with Jurgen Klopp dealing with an injury crisis at left-back. New Rangers chiefs Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe's first interview Beck would subsequently make his English Premier League debut as a substitute against Bournemouth later that month. Celtic had also been linked with a swoop for Beck in that transfer window, but his Liverpool appearance put an end to the prospect of a move to Parkhead. That's because Fifa rules prevent a player from turning out for three different clubs in a single season. A potential new club's loss was Dundee's gain. Beck rejoined the Dark Blues at the end of the January window and saw out the campaign in the Scottish Premiership. He scored twice in 25 league appearances with his form recognised at the end of the season when he was named to the PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the Year. The defender spent last season on loan at Blackburn Rovers. Beck has now emerged as a target for Rangers but the Light Blues aren't the only club keen. Championship newcomers Wrexham are interested too in signing Beck, who is a Wales under-21 international. A potential Ibrox arrival for Beck would add fresh doubts regarding the future of Ridvan Yilmaz. The Turkish left-back has been consistently linked with a move back to his homeland. Yilmaz and Jefte are the two current left-backs in the Gers squad. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
