Finding Humour in Dark Times: Performance Artist Tom Marshman
Currently showing at Camden People's Theatre, performance artist Tom Marshman's play Kings Cross (Remix) is a glorious celebration of a bygone era. The show is a tightly crafted journey through the stories of some of the people who made up the 1980s Kings Cross LGBTQ scene. Bursting with warmth, charm and affection, the play is a must see for anyone interested in learning more about London's alternative history.
'Strong and Stable My Arse' is all of us
The Londoner behind 'Strong and Stable My Arse'. It's a simple message. A slogan that's straight to the point. 'Strong and Stable My Arse' is a statement everyone can understand with a wry grin as they spot it slathered onto billboards, phone boxes and brick walls around the UK. So who could possibly be behind such a simple, cheeky, dig in the ribs campaign? Someone who knows his audience, who knows the mindset of the British like the back of his left hand.
Top Four "Imma Get Greedy" Second Helpings of Bank Holiday
For some, a second bank holiday brings with it an extra day of anxiety as you wonder how to fill the 24 hour void that desk bound coffee fuelled typing usually fills. If you're not content to lie horizontal letting gravity slide pizza down your throat, here's our plans for your second Bank Holiday of the month.
Theatre of Changing Spaces: Kings Cross in the '80s
"Only last night I found myself lost / by the station called King's Cross. / Dead and wounded on either side / you know it's only a matter of time." [Pet Shop Boys - Kings Cross] It's the night after the play and I'm standing at the bar of 'The Big Chill House' on Pentonville Road in Kings Cross. It's 'Throwback Thursday' (#TBT) and happy hour is definitely over.
Local Creatives: Laura Bird Ceramics
Ceramics with charisma. Local pottery genius, Laura Bird has of course graced the digital pages of It's Nice That, sold out in Anthropologie* and taken her seat at many a London ceramics stall since just recently starting her career in ceramics. It's no surprise she is well loved: her unique and gentle humour exudes from every jar, planter and candlestick holder, adorned with cheeky expressions and impish grins.
Twin Peaks Supper Club, North London
At the time of writing this the menu has just been released for Food by Feast's new supper club. I imagine, however, that by the time you read this every dining space will be swiftly filled. If you aren't acquainted with the duo yet (tsk), they're the genius collaboration of Cordon Bleu chef and food writer Olivia Potts and Guardian food writer and cook, Kate Young. Having successfully completed the likes of a Gilmore Girls supper club to rapturous applause and smacking lips recently, the latest menu experience is Twin Peaks inspired and looks equally witty and delectable.
Get Your Shaman On: Gong Bath in Stokey
Sound healing in Stoke Newington. This Thursday 18th May, The Mystery School of Sound are running a de-stress gong bath experience in Stoke Newington Ramadan Mosque. Alongside guided meditation, healing process and gong performace, you'll get a mini intro to healing traditions of the druids and hermetic teaching.
Pop Up Cinema: Celebrate Cannes in Kentish Town
Patron Cave a Manger's pop up cinema are shacking up at The Rose and Crown in Kentish Town to screen The Artist. Soak up the atmoshpere of the Festival du Cannes with swanky popcorn and elegant cocktails. Get red carpet ready for this special screening of The Artist - the ridiculously popular award winning silent French film that everyone fell in love with.
Stokey Food Market: Fundraising for the Community
Unfortunately rising rents are affecting community spaces in Stoke Newington and their availability. St Mary's Centre currently provides a space for projects including the Foodbank, Hackney Migrants centre and the Night Shelter but they're at risk of losing their space. To help raise funds to redevelop the space and increase awareness, they are organising a weekend food market in Stokey. The pop-up food market is a launch event for their huge fundraising drive to rebuild the community rooms attached to St Mary's Church in Stoke Newington.
Eating North London: Healthy Chocolate Breakfast with Kate Oates
Healthy chocolate mousse and sexing up your smoothie with Kate Oates. We have found ourselves a yoga guru in Kate Oates, a healthtastic yogi based in Crouch End. When we met her last year she hinted at a few of her own culinary creations and boy were we intrigued. Asking for an exclusive recipe for you health conscious readers, we received a taste sensation of an idea for chocolate breakfast.
Alternative Speed Dating with Single Cylinders
"All My Single Cylinders, All My Single Cylinders". Two girls, sick to the back teeth of Tindering and Bumbling about the bars of London, decided to create their own speed dating night. Involved in the biker community of East London they have created a special series of nights combining live music, motorbikes and speed dates. Bolt Motorbike Shop of Stoke Newington is their latest venue, providing a more intriguing backdrop for your date night and quashing the usual awkwardness of sparse, brightly lit speed dating scenarios. You can admire the motors, enjoy your free drinks and listen to some live music with some top notch handpicked company.
Pop Up Proper Piirakka in Finsbury Park
In case you've never had a piirakka, (also known as Karelian pasties, pies or pirogs) they're a delicious Finnish treat that you need to try immediately. Whether savoury or sweet, they're basically a light pastie made with rye flour and a pretty unique variety of filling options. Meet Aapo Nieminen, a native Finnish local who grew up with piirakka. After getting tired of asking friends and family to bring him these naughty little pasties whenever they visited he came up with a plan. "They are an important part of everyday finish life. One day I thought why not just make them yourself?"
North London Bike Tour: Giro d'North Four
The lycra is optional. Coffee however, isn't. On Friday 197 cyclists descended on Sardinia to compete in the 100th edition of the Giro d'Italia. For those of you that don't have wardrobes filled with lycra you might never of heard of it but Think Tour d'France but in Italy. Still drawing a blank?
Millenial Munchers Heaven: Cookie Dough Cafe
Naked Dough have appeared like a pair of beautiful fairy godmothers to lead me to an actual edible cookie dough dance party. Plus they didn't even tell me what I should wear, they genuinely don't care. Naked Dough is a new restaurant serving edible cookie dough from tubs, cones and even carry home pots. The ingredients are raw egg free and the flour is heat-treated so you need not worry-like-Edwina-Currie about salmonella and stomach bloat (unless you're gluten free of course. In which case I'm sorry you've stumbled upon this torture page of an article).
'Not another psych night' at Nambucca
"Ooh they're doing a psych night at Moth Club Tina!" "What, again?" It's a familiar sentence. Fast becoming a buzzword for young musos and Beyond Retro dwellers alike, psych music is no longer just for the suede fringed waistcoat wearing Acid Jazz lovers who curse their parents they weren't born in 1966. No no. The psych music spectrum has spread it's bendy wings and shaken off it's lava lamp skin to embrace a whole host of musical genres. From William Burroughs to Pet Sounds to Thee Oh Sees, the genre's had a birth, decline and resurgence. Nambucca in Finsbury Park are totally capitalising on this revival with their new monthly night, SIKE! This Thursday 11th May, they're bringing four different acts who are all covering different elements of the psych scene.
Beer and Bagels at The Good Egg, Stokey
Back in 2014 The Good Egg was hatched, mixing Californian sunshine with Tel Aviv traditions to bring one heck of a menu to Stoke Newington. Food critics, instagrammers and swathes of Stokey baby holders flocked to it's doors to get stuck in to the Jerusalem breakfast, merguez sausage and indeed eggs washed down with spicy brunch cocktails.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Thailand for 2 weeks. We were all over that country and this was by far the best hotel we stayed in for the price. Rooms were great, hotel staff was really good. Pool was nice, but would have been nicer if it stayed open longer. Place needs a hot tub. Location is not the best but if you want just a nice relaxing few days away from all the madness of the Beach areas around Phuket and not spend crazy amounts of money, this is a great place. Food was good. Yes it is a little bit far from the beachs. There is a few scooter rental places near the hotel, you can rent them for about 1000 baht for 3 or 4 days. A scooter ride will take about 30 minutes to Patong and another 20 to Karon. It is not a bad ride, my wife and I did it everyday for 4 days straight on a single scooter; its not that bad. Beds were lttle bit hard......not good for honey moons : ) If you are a just a couple the vllas are the way to go. I cant speek for the other rooms. We liked the hotel and will go back in the future.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/30/14 -- Detour Gold Corporation (TSX:DGC) ("Detour Gold" or the "Company") reports its financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2014. This release should be read in conjunction with the Company's first quarter 2014 financial statements and MD&A report on the Company's website or on SEDAR. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Q1 2014 Highlights
-- Gold production of 107,154 ounces -- Revenues of $110 million on sales of 84,560 ounces -- Total cash costs of $976 per gold ounce sold(1) -- Net loss of $54.9 million or $0.38 per share; Adjusted net loss of $28.1 million or $0.20 per share(1) -- Signed a 6-year fixed rate electricity contract at Cdn$0.05/kWh -- Closed equity financing for gross proceeds of Cdn$173 million -- Repaid $40 million of debt -- Cash and short-term investment balance of $145.2 million at March 31, 2014
Paul Martin, President and CEO commented, "In the first quarter, we achieved our gold production target and saw a reduction in our total cash costs. Our focus remains on further improving mill availability and mine output to attain our operational targets for 2014. The progressive ramp-up of the mill to 55,000 tpd (design capacity) in the fourth quarter will be the main driver for higher production and lower costs. With the progress made in the first quarter, we remain on track to meet our gold production guidance of 450,000 to 500,000 ounces at total cash costs of $800 to $900 per ounce sold(1)."
Summary Operational Results
In the first quarter of 2014, gold production met expectations at 107,154 ounces. The mill processed 4.1 million tonnes (Mt) of ore at an average grade of 0.90 g/t with recoveries of 91%.
The mill facility processed an average of 45,282 tonnes of ore per day (tpd) in the first quarter with 80% availability versus the targeted rate of 82%.
During the first quarter, a total of 19.2 Mt was mined versus budget of 20.9 Mt with mining rates averaging 213,000 tpd. The 1.7 Mt shortfall resulted mainly from in-pit rehandling to advance the southwall pushback, which is expected to be completed this summer and will provide improved access to higher grade ore. In addition, one shovel was removed from the pit for 10 consecutive days for the processing of a higher grade stockpile to test grade control. Despite the shortfall, the run-of-mine ore stockpiles increased by approximately 500,000 tonnes during the quarter for a total of 2.8 Mt grading 0.78 g/t.
(1) Refer to the section on Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures at end of the press release. Reconciliation of these measures is described at end of the press release and in the MD&A for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Total cash costs for the first quarter of 2014 were $976 per ounce sold(2), in-line with expectations, and $198 per ounce less than the fourth quarter of 2013 (first quarter of commercial production).
Detour Lake Mine Operation Statistics Q1 2013 Q2 2013 Q3 2013 Q4 2013 Q1 2014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ore mined (Mt) 1.29 2.70 4.16 4.09 4.88 Waste mined (Mt) 9.12 9.96 12.42 16.80 14.29 Total mined (Mt) 10.41 12.66 16.58 20.89 19.17 Strip ratio (waste:ore) 7.1 3.7 3.0 4.1 2.9 Mining rate (tpd) 123,000 160,000 180,000 203,000 213,000 Ore milled (Mt) 1.02 2.87 3.88 3.41 4.08 Head grade (g/t Au) 0.64 0.76 0.72 0.81 0.90 Recovery (%) 80 82 85 92 91 Mill throughput (tpd) 12,941 31,513 42,141 37,090 45,282 Mill availability (%) 66 68 78 66 80 Ounces produced(1) (oz) 16,841 57,897 75,672 81,877 107,154 Ounces sold (oz) 4,052 37,870 75,600 95,000 84,560 Average realized price(2) ($/oz) - - $1,340 $1,269 $1,301 Total cash cost per oz sold(2) ($/oz) - - $1,214 $1,174 $976 Mining (Cdn$/t mined) - - - $2.60 $2.87 Milling (Cdn$/t milled) - - - $11.75 $11.13 G&A (Cdn$/t milled) - - - $4.13 $3.57 Total unit costs (Cdn$/t milled) $29.15 $28.22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unit operating costs totaled Cdn$28.22 per tonne milled, approximately 5% above budget, due to the slightly lower mill throughput. Unit mining costs were higher than plan due to the shorfall in ex-pit tonnes. Unit milling costs improved with lower reagents consumption. It is anticipated that unit operating costs will continue to trend downward through 2014 with increasing mine and mill throughput rates.
Summary Financial Results
Revenues in the first quarter amounted to $110.0 million from gold sales of 84,560 ounces at an average realized price of $1,301 per ounce(2) versus the average London PM fix gold price of $1,293 per ounce. Ounces sold during the first quarter were lower than production mainly due to re-building of the gold-in-circuit inventory following the drawdown at year-end 2013 and gold-in-transit to refineries.
The Company recorded a net loss of $54.9 million, or $0.38 per share, in the first quarter of 2014. The net loss includes $60.6 million of non-cash items, including depreciation and depletion of $30.6 million, a fair value loss on the convertible notes of $16.5 million as a result of share price appreciation, accretion charges of $6.0 million, an unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $4.3 million and share-based compensation expense of $3.2 million. Adjusted net loss(3) in the first quarter amounted to $28.1 million, or $0.20 per share, as a result of recording operating losses while the mine continues ramping up to full production levels.
(1) Includes pre-production ounces prior to the declaration of commercial production on September 1, 2013.
(2) Refer to the section on Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures at end of the press release. Reconciliation of these measures is described at end of the press release and in the MD&A for the relevant periods.
Cash flow used in operating activities amounted to $32.1 million as a result of cash outflows relating to a $26.4 million increase in inventories (ore stockpiles, gold-in-circuit and gold-in-transit to refineries) since year-end 2013. In addition, the Company's receivables balance increased by $13.5 million in the quarter due in part to an audit and the Company expects to collect these in the second quarter.
Capital expenditures totaled $17.4 million for the first quarter of 2014. There was no capitalization of stripping costs during the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $145.2 million at March 31, 2014. The cash position reflects the net proceeds from the bought deal offering and the repayment of $40 million of the $70 million drawn under the revolving credit facility. During the quarter, the Company completed its negotiation with its equipment lease provider to defer the first and second quarter principal lease payments in 2014, which have a total value of $14.7 million.
Financial Risk Management
In accordance with the Company's gold sales risk management policy, management is permitted to enter into transactions to hedge up to 50% of the Company's 2014 forecasted gold sales. The policy was put in place to reduce gold price risk as the Company continues to ramp-up its operation to design capacity by the end of 2014. In January 2014, the Company entered into a series of forward sales contracts pursuant to which the Company sold forward a portion of its gold sales in 2014. During the quarter, the Company realized a loss on settlement of its gold forward positions of $5.6 million as spot prices trended higher through the quarter. As at March 31, 2014, the Company had a total of 70,000 ounces of gold hedged, representing approximately 20% of the Company's 2014 remaining forecasted gold sales.
At April 30, 2014, the hedge coverage ratio was approximately 30%.

2014 Exploration Program
The Company's initial 8,000 metre drilling program in the Lower Detour area, approximately 6 kilometres south of the Detour Lake processing plant, was extended as a result of encouraging preliminary results and a longer winter drilling season.
The Company has now completed the program with 14,874 metres in 40 holes and received assay results for approximately 30% of the program. Results of the entire program are anticipated to be released by the end of the second quarter.
A new mineralized system has been identified to the north of Zone 75 after following up on the high grade intercept of 17.3 g/t over 4.4 metres (DLD-13-075, last hole of the 2013 drilling program). Approximately 11,638 metres in 30 holes tested this new zone (referred to as Zone 58N). The mineralized system extends over a strike length of 300 metres and has been tested from surface to a depth of approximately 300 metres. The gold mineralization is found within an altered feldspar porphyry intrusive containing quartz and/or quartz-tourmaline veins with pyrite and visible gold.
2014 Outlook
The Company continues to focus on completing the ramp-up of the Detour Lake mine to design capacity by improving operating efficiencies. The main focus for the second quarter is to complete the southwall pushback which, along with the completion of the final south ramp access, will provide improved access to higher grade ore. As per the mine plan, gold production is expected to be higher in the second half of 2014 as mining activity reaches the higher grade benches and the mill throughput progresses towards design capacity of 55,000 tpd in the fourth quarter, thereby further reducing unit operating costs.
Capital expenditures are expected to be higher in the second and third quarter as the construction of the tailings facility accelerates.
The Company maintains its gold production and cost guidance for 2014.
2014 Guidance ============================================================================ Total gold production (oz) 450,000-500,000 H1 2014 200,000-225,000 H2 2014 250,000-275,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total cash costs ($/oz sold)(1) $800-900 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sustaining capital expenditures ($ millions)(2) $131 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures
The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures in this press release. The Company believes that these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.
The non-IFRS measures are defined below and are reconciled with the reported IFRS measures. Refer to the Company's MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2014 for full details.
Total cash costs per gold ounce sold
Detour Gold reports total cash costs on a sales basis. Total cash costs per gold ounce sold include production costs such as mining, processing, refining and site administration, agreements with Aboriginal communities, less non-cash share-based compensation and net of silver sales divided by gold ounces sold to arrive at total cash costs per gold ounce sold. The measure also includes other mine related costs incurred such as mine standby costs and current inventory write downs. Production costs are exclusive of depreciation and depletion. Production costs include the costs associated with providing the royalty in kind ounces.
Three months ended March 31 ------------------------------------ 2014 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Production costs $ 83,132 $ - Share-based compensation (583) - Silver sales (6) - ------------------------------------ Total cash costs $ 82,543 $ - Gold ounces sold 84,560 - ------------------------------------ Total cash costs per gold ounce sold $ 976 $ - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Average realized price and Average realized margin
Management and investors use these measures to better understand the gold price and margin realized throughout a period. Average realized margin represents average realized price per gold ounce sold less total cash costs per gold ounce sold.
Three months ended March 31 ------------------------------------ 2014 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metal sales $ 110,015 $ - Silver sales (6) - ------------------------------------ Revenues from gold sales $ 110,009 $ - Gold ounces sold 84,560 - ------------------------------------ Average realized price $ 1,301 $ - Less: Total cash costs per gold ounce sold (976) - ------------------------------------ Average realized margin per gold ounce sold $ 325 $ - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjusted net earnings (loss) and Adjusted basic net earnings (loss) per share
Adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share are used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods.
Adjusted net earnings (loss) are defined as net earnings (loss) adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company, including: fair value change of the convertible notes; the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses, non-cash unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments including hedges, accretion on convertible notes, unwinding of discount on decommissioning and restoration, impairment provisions and reversals thereof; and other non-recurring items.
Adjusted net earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of share outstanding under the basic method of earnings (loss) per share as determined under IFRS.
Three months ended March 31 ------------------------------------ 2014 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net earnings (loss) $ (54,943) $ 23,413 Adjusted for: Fair value (gain) loss of the convertible notes 16,479 (38,635) Foreign exchange (gain) loss 73 2,283 Non-cash unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments 4,252 - Accretion on convertible notes 5,953 - Unwinding of discount on decommissioning and restoration provisions 94 31 ------------------------------------ Adjusted net earnings (loss) before tax $ (28,092) $ (12,908) Adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share $ (0.20) $ (0.11) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company has included the additional IFRS measure "Earnings (loss) from mine operations" in the financial statements. Management noted that "Earnings (loss) from mine operations" provides useful information to investors as an indication of the Company's principal business activities before consideration of how those activities are financed, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate and exploration and evaluation expenses, finance income and costs, and taxation.

Mathieu Neu
22 March 2013, at the French presidential palace. Facing André Marcon, President of the CCI France, but also in the presence of Jean-Louis Nesti, President of the CCI of Corrèze, François Hollande stated his desire to sign a Confidence Pact between the State and the national network of Chambers of Commerce. The aim: to demonstrate the government's place alongside all French CCIs when it comes to injecting the local economy with dynamism and modernity. The State Head's commitments are to be translated by initiatives serving enterprises in different domains: youth employment, simplification of administrative procedures, financing, updating of production apparatus, and support in international procedures.
The signing of this Confidence Pact is to take place by the end of June this year. "CCIs play an essential role for companies, particularly during crisis times. As the representatives of companies, they are legitimate as political relays throughout the French territories," recalled the President of the French Republic. What remains to be ascertained is what Chambers concretely expect from these presidential vows.
André Marcon made it known during his visit to the presidential palace that "the network was completely mobilised around these objectives and ready to commit to acting in favour of the country's economic recovery." Meanwhile, the Paris Chamber of Commerce underlines the importance of defining a clarified and stable tax and labour framework in order to restore the confidence of various economic players. To establish its wish list, it relied on its last annual survey carried out at the end of 2012 amongst 5,000 enterprises throughout the country, in collaboration with Médiamétrie. The conclusions of this survey reveal "a general degradation" in the situation of companies. Several indicators such as turnover, financial situation, investment and employment, reveal a slowdown suffered by SMEs in particular throughout 2012.
The indicators translate growing concern amongst company heads regarding future prospects. Large companies also indicate an unusual level of concern. "The ambient pessimism and fear of the future represent extra obstacles for SMEs. To restore their confidence, new tools, regulatory improvements, are key elements for bringing back vigorousness and dynamism," underlines André Marcon. "Funds available via the Banque Publique d'Investissement (BPI or Public Investment Bank) should be able to play a major role. Company heads expect considerable guarantees in terms of financing solutions." The CCI France is also adding its stone to the edifice in this domain by envisaging the creation of an observatory aimed at measuring the lever effect that the BPI will bring to enterprises. Findings can thus feed discussions in the context of steering committees determining the improvements to implement.
The CCI of Paris believes that the Confidence Pact desired by the French government will be more efficient if tangible measures are specified to promote entrepreneurship and the development of company projects. The Chamber also comments that the responses to the survey carried out with Médiamétrie should be read as an appeal by company heads for the setting up of an economic and tax environment that is more favourable for enterprises. "Beyond the urgency of cleaning up public accounts, the government should pay attention to the need to raise national competitiveness. While a competitiveness shock is needed rapidly to cut company production costs, companies also need more flexibility to adapt to changing environments. The capacity to invest in order to innovate is an indispensable condition for better quality," indicates the Chamber.
According to André Marcon, the same goes for entrepreneurial spirit: "facilitating all systems surrounding company creation and management is absolutely necessary to whet the desire to do business."
