TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/16/14 -- Victory Nickel Inc. ("Victory Nickel" or the "Company") (TSX:NI) today announced that it has filed its financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Commissioning of the 500,000 ton per annum frac sand processing facility in Seven Persons, Alberta (the "7P Plant") is continuing, and frac sand sales began during the first quarter. Given Victory Nickel's significant in-situ nickel resources, the Company remains encouraged by the fact that nickel was one of the best performing metals on the London Metal Exchange during the first quarter of 2014.
In March, 2014, Victory Nickel and its subsidiary Victory Silica Ltd. ("Victory Silica") announced that commissioning of the 500,000 ton per annum 7P Plant was underway and that frac sand sales had begun. Effective March 31, 2014 the 7P plant was still being commissioned and accordingly is not being depreciated. Any sales generated during the commissioning period are being offset against pre-operating expenditures. During the first quarter, sales totalled $274,000.
The construction and commissioning processes have been affected by the severe weather conditions experienced throughout Canada and the US this past winter. Not only was the 7P Plant site impacted, but so were Victory Nickel's suppliers.
"As an example, delivery of concentrated sand was delayed because rail companies were forced to reduce the number of cars pulled due to the impact the severe cold has on air brake performance, causing backups and delays in delivery of rail freight of all types," said Rene Galipeau, CEO. "At the 7P Plant site, frost penetrated to depths never before experienced and resulted in damage to gas lines and dryer gears, causing potholes and heaving of warehouse floors. Hopefully this is behind us and production can ramp up to the expected levels in the near-term. On the bright side, all forecasts suggest a strong 2014 for the fracking industry as activities return to normal following the annual spring break-up during which time fracking activity slows significantly."
"According to New York-based investment bank Cowen and Company, US frac sand pricing was up 4% in March and another 1% in April, marking the highest month in the index since January 2013 (see graph below). In addition, a weakening Canadian dollar and strengthening nickel price bode well for Victory Nickel's Minago nickel project," added Mr. Galipeau. "As of May 15, the nickel price on the London Metal Exchange was US$9.36. The IRR of the Minago project based on the Minago Feasibility Study ("FS") at the metal prices and US-Canadian dollar exchange rate on May 15, 2014 is 17.7%. At a discount rate of 8%, the net present value of the Minago project is approximately $322 million; this compares with an IRR of 22.4% at the FS Base Case prices."
About Victory Silica Ltd.
Victory Silica Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is charged with a phased plan to establish the Company in the frac sand market. In Phase 1, the Company has begun processing sand imported from Wisconsin at the 7P Plant and selling the processed frac sand to customers on a spot basis. The 7P Plant is well located in an area populated with fracking companies, its potential customers, and is within only a few hours' trucking distance of major oil or gas play well sites. Phase 2, which includes the construction of a concentrator in Wisconsin, is expected to reduce costs and assure security of sand supply through the control of a frac sand mine in Wisconsin. In Phase 3, the Company intends to construct a larger frac sand plant to process and distribute both imported and domestic sand, which may potentially, but not necessarily, include sand mined as a co-product of development at the Company's Minago project. The Company has already identified a site in Winnipeg, Manitoba for this purpose.
About Frac Sand
Frac sand is a proppant used in the oil and gas business as a part of the hydraulic fracturing process - a means of increasing flow to the wellhead. Frac sand must have particular characteristics including achieving certain levels of crush resistance, sphericity and roundness, and it is therefore a relatively rare commodity. Vast quantities of frac sand are consumed, and more is needed all the time, as shale gas and oil plays in Canada and the US rise to prominence.
About Victory Nickel
Victory Nickel Inc. is a Canadian company with four sulphide nickel deposits containing significant NI 43-101-compliant nickel resources and a significant frac sand resource at its Minago project. Victory Nickel is focused on becoming a mid-tier nickel producer by developing its existing properties, Minago, Mel and Lynn Lake in Manitoba, and Lac Rocher in northwestern Quebec, and by evaluating opportunities to expand its nickel asset base. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Victory Silica Ltd., Victory Nickel is attempting to establish a presence in the frac sand market prior to commencing frac sand production and sales from Minago.

The Crowd Control Family is pleased to bring you Detlef
Detlef is without a doubt one of the most exciting up-and-coming names currently working in the underground scene. In a very short time he has released and remixed with well respected labels including Hot Creations, Defected, Knee Deep In Sound, and Moon Harbour earning support from the likes of Lee Foss, Marco Carola, Matthias Tanzmann, Yousef, Hot Since 82, and Jamie Jones to name a few.
Equally at home in the booth as he is in the studio, the unique party vibe that he brings to his DJ sets has quickly made him one of clubbers' favourite names. Often billed on the same line-up with industry giants, Detlef is definitely one to follow.
Support From: SHUSKI & LENNON, RIZO & PRIMITIVE, CHANCELLOR
2016 so far has been career defining for Latmun, with all 3 EP's he's put out breaking into the top 10 on the Beatport Tech House releases. This started off with his 'Def' EP on VIVa, which received support from scene heavyweights like Skream, Claptone, Claude Vonstroke, Mathias Tanzmann, Steve Lawler and many more, it still continues to soundtrack the biggest festival stages today. The Dance & Bop EP on Wow! Recordings had similar success and carrying on the momentum through to his most recent offering via Leftwing & Kody's Lost Records. 'Cosmic', the titular track shot all the way up to number 5 in the top 100 tracks chart, showing he earnt being named one of the stand-out artists of 2016. The recent and most exciting project has come about when Green Velvet asked him to remix his seminal classic - Flash - alongside the likes of Eats Everything and Oliver $. Considering the relatively short time he's been in the limelight, he's already made a lasting impression, one that has been rewarded with an impressive touring schedule including a number of dates in Ibiza, Berlin, Austria, Belgium and even as far afield as LA.
Latmun is an all round lover of music, the rest can be denoted by virtue of listening and experiencing what he brings to the dance-floor for yourself.

Unlike white fat, which stores energy and comprises most body fat, this good fat, called brown fat, is active in burning calories and using energy. In a paper published last April in The New England Journal of Medicine, C. Ronald Kahn, M.D., Aaron Cypess, M.D., Ph.D., and their colleagues demonstrated that brown fat not only exists in adult humans but is metabolically active. This advance could pave the way for new treatments both for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Discover honored the research by the Kahn lab scientists and their colleagues at Joslin, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital, along with related work by two collaborations among European research groups.
Founded in 1980, Discover Magazine reaches more than 6 million readers and draws more than 1.7 million unique visitors to its Discovermagazine.com Web site each month. The Discover Top 100 is published in its annual Year of Science issue, which is consistently the magazine's newsstand bestseller. This year, a special double January/February issue begins reaching subscribers this week and goes on newsstands next week.
Joslin Diabetes Center is the world's preeminent diabetes research and clinical care organization. Joslin is dedicated to ensuring people with diabetes live long, healthy lives and offers real hope and progress toward diabetes prevention and a cure for the disease. Founded in 1898 by Elliott P.

Two-dimensional magnetic structures are regarded as a promising material for new types of data storage, since the magnetic properties of individual molecular building blocks can be investigated and modified.

Scientists at the Swiss Nanoscience Institute at the University of Basel and the Paul Scherrer Institute published their findings in the journal Nature Communications.
Ferrimagnets are composed of two centers which are magnetized at different strengths and point in opposing directions. Two-dimensional, quasi-flat ferrimagnets...

In the race to produce a quantum computer, a number of projects are seeking a way to create quantum bits -- or qubits -- that are stable, meaning they are not much affected by changes in their environment. This normally needs highly nonlinear non-dissipative elements capable of functioning at very low temperatures.
In pursuit of this goal, researchers at EPFL's Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements LPQM (STI/SB), have investigated a nonlinear graphene-based...

The effect of personalized ventilation (PV) on people's health, comfort, and performance in a warm and humid environment (26 and 28°C at 70% relative humidity) was studied and compared with their responses in a comfortable environment (23°C and 40% relative humidity). Thirty subjects participated in five 4-h experiments in a climate chamber. Under the conditions with PV, the subjects were able to control the rate and direction of the supplied personalized flow of clean air. Subjective responses were collected through questionnaires. During all exposures, the subjects were occupied with tasks used to assess their performance. Objective measures of tear film stability, concentration of stress biomarkers in saliva, and eye blinking rate were taken. Using PV significantly improved the perceived air quality (PAQ) and thermal sensation and decreased the intensity of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) symptoms to those prevailing in a comfortable room environment without PV. Self-estimated and objectively measured performance was improved. Increasing the temperature and relative humidity, but not the use of PV, significantly decreased tear film quality and the concentration of salivary alpha-amylase, indicating lower mental arousal and alertness. The use of PV improved tear film stability as compared to that in a warm environment without PV.

When we arrived at La Residence, we were on foot, in the heat, after spending the night on the Unification Railway. As we arrived to the front steps, there was a large group of tourists also entering. However, the doorman spotted us immediately, belong the sea of tourists, and helped us with our bags, and we immediately felt at home and well taken care of.
The decor, the history, the service, as far as we know, everything was perfect.
The pool is huge, the breakfast is unbelievably lavish. They don't serve Vietnamese coffee (single espresso with condensed milk) but we asked for it, and it was brought to us, outside by the garden, and it was great to have a late drink and listen to the frogs in the coi pond. We did not eat in the restaurant, but could use bicycles to go anywhere we wanted...a perfect stay.

Former Ambassador, Human Rights Activist
Pollster YouGove is into full on propaganda mode. They present results dished up with explanatory press releases for right wing journalists to push. This one was commissioned by Murdoch.
But if you burrow down into the actual data, which no journalist ever does, sometimes there are results which are quite interesting. It is important of course to note that the sample is a self-selecting one of the kind of people who volunteer for online polls, and is then adjusted to account for a number of things including a historic tendency to underrate the Tory vote, so the Tory numbers are consciously increased.
The first warning light flashes at me in the subsamples. The headline 48-24% Tory lead over Labour includes an extraordinary 29% Tory vote in Scotland. That is quite simply impossible. If it proves to be true, I will walk the length of Holyrood Road on my knees. It is bollocks.
That aside, the brittleness of the support the media have whipped up for hard Brexit is shown in a series of questions about the EU. Now it is true – and this was headlined by YouGove and the media – that by a narrow 46-43% the poll states that people believe Britain is right to leave the European Union. (32-60% in Scotland).
But dig into that and you find that support for May's Brexit is quite extraordinarily brittle. This is the truly striking lesson from this poll, and nobody has picked up on it.
Look at the answers to these questions. In each case I have excluded the don't knows and recalculated from the table:
Do you think Britain will be better off or worse off after we leave the EU?
Better off: 33%
Worse off: 44%
No Diff 23%
Do you think Britain will have more or less influence in the world after we leave the EU?
More influence: 23%
Less influence: 43%
No Diff: 34%
Do you think leaving the EU will have a good or bad effect on British jobs?
Good for jobs: 29%
Bad for jobs: 41%
No Difference: 30%
Do you think leaving the EU will have a good or bad effect on British pensions?
Good for pensions: 10%
Bad for pensions: 32%
No Difference: 58%
Do you think that leaving the EU will have a good or bad effect on the NHS?
Good for the NHS: 30%
Bad for the NHS: 34%
No Difference: 36%
Do you think there will be more or less immigration into the UK after we leave the EU?
More immigration: 3%
Less immigration: 56%
No Difference: 41%
So Theresa May wishes to hustle to a quick election victory on what she views as a national consensus building around hard Brexit. But that consensus is extremely brittle.
A majority of the population believe that Brexit is bad for the economy, bad for jobs, bad for the NHS, bad for pensions and bad for British influence in the world. The population are being stampeded into a direction that they plainly believe to be against their own self-interest. This makes May extraordinarily vulnerable to pushback on the EU. That should benefit the LibDems. It also shows that the SNP is wrong to backpedal on the EU to placate the Sillars vote. The pro-EU answers to each of those questions in Scotland alone are simply overwhelming.
Brexit's only salience is on one single issue: immigration. But this poll does something still more interesting. It provides absolute proof of what I have been observing and commenting on for the past ten years, that the anti-immigration movement is founded on pure and simple racism.
Cutting immigration is the only alleged positive a majority see from Brexit. But they do not believe that this cutting of immigration will improve jobs, the economy, pensions, or the NHS. All the canting justifications for cutting immigration are cut through, because this poll reveals that people do not expect to see any of those effects. No, Brexiteers want to cut immigration simply because they are racists and do not like foreigners.
But given that May wants to fight this election solely on Brexit, and given that the only area of traction Brexit has is immigration, we can expect to see the nastiest anti-immigration campaign ever waged by a mainstream party. We can also expect to see repeatedly what Adam Boulton did to the Lib Dems Sarah Ludford on Sky News and hour ago. As soon as the EU was mentioned, Boulton aggressively intervened by invoking dog-whistle anti-immigration racism.
That is why Conservative policy today is near identical to the BNP manifesto of 2005, which promised:
– Severe cuts in immigration
– Leaving the EU
– Bringing back grammar schools
– Increased military spending
– More "security" and "strong leadership"
– Foreign policy driven by "British national interest" not human rights
– Reduce development aid
A Tory vote is a racist vote. Full stop.
The post Theresa May's Brittle Shield Wall appeared first on Craig Murray.
T-May is using any tactic she can to delay any Brexit and that includes letting the SNP punch above it's weight.
Nothing will change after the election even if the "Cons" get a few more seats but Labour can get stuffed because they are out in the open trying to veto what we voted for.
All the top MP's work for bankers, we only have one party and thats the bankers party who pays their wages using blackmail and bribes

Is your content marketing missing the mark?
Does it ever seem like the content you create falls flat on its face or that the leads you're generating aren't worth following up?
New innovation energy retailer is launching in Australia and wants to shift the focus to customer centricity
Innovation energy retailer, Mojo Power, is launching its brand in Australia and has its eyes on disrupting the domestic market with a more customer-centric focus.
The new model means customers sign up to a flat-rate subscription based on the level of service support required from Mojo. In doing so, they get access to energy at wholesale rates without any cost mark-ups.
According to Mojo's CMO, Mark Khademi, the company's key priority is providing the best service to customers, while helping them become more energy efficient. For those families with large electricity bills, that could mean substantial savings.
"Unlike existing electricity retailers, which make more money the more electricity their customers use, at Mojo, we don't profit from energy consumption," he told CMO. "We charge a flat monthly fee called an EnergyPass that allows customers to access our wholesale rates. For the first time, the interests of the retailer and those of its customers, to use less electricity and lower their bills, are completely aligned."
Khademi claimed one of Mojo's differentiators is this pricing offer, where the company separates the service provided from the amount of electricity used. This allows Mojo to offer a range of service levels for different types of consumer.
The company also plans to roll out Mojo-owned smart meters, which allow customers to see how much they've spent at any point in time.
"We can even predict how much your bill will be each month and Mojo can use this data as well to recommend the right tariff for each individual customer and to tailor specific solar and home battery storage technologies for every home," Khademi said. "This is how we bring customer-centricity to energy."
Why the traditional model is ready for disruption
Khademi anticipates this new customer focus will disrupt the energy sector, which he claimed has traditionally been more profit than consumer driven.
"Mojo is set to disrupt an energy category that for too long has been run in the interests of big businesses rather than the consumer," he said. "At its core, the Mojo brand is about absolute alignment with its customers. But most energy retailers get this fundamentally wrong.
"While price will always be important, we're trying to reinvent our category by introducing real differentiation through the data and insights we can provide, empowering our customers to make informed decisions about their energy use."
As a young business, Khademi said just understanding who the brand's 'customer' is can be a challenge.
"This is where we've focused much of our efforts to date," he explained. "Carrying out analysis on the market, seeing how customers interact with the brand and our messaging whether it be online or in person.
"It's too easy as a business grows to get disconnected from your customers. In any business, I'd encourage everyone to spend some time every month on the frontline and speak to real customers. I've always found this an insightful way to understand some of the challenges your brand faces."
Taking the brand to the next level across Australia
Mojo Power recently teamed up with creative media agency, Naked Communications, to help take its marketing mission and brand to the next level as it begins its launch journey across Australian states and territories.
"We are looking forward to working with Naked, whose passion and desire to challenge convention was clear in their pitch to us," Khademi said. "Our ambition is to be Australia's most trusted energy provider. We're building a brand that is forward looking and that positions us to educate the market on the changes and opportunities that are approaching, such as home battery storage. We know we have a great business model, and now it's time to build a great brand."
Naked Communications' managing director, Tim Kirby, saw Mojo's inspirational vision as timely in an industry hungry for innovation.
"This is a category that is in desperate need of innovation, and the Mojo business model delivers exactly that," he said. "So our task of launching the business and building the brand is an exciting one, and something we are getting stuck in to from day one."
The brand will be launching to NSW customers over the coming months, before expanding to other states.

It's love, that's for sure ❤
It started with Motherhood.
Kids In Bibs started in 2014 when I decided to make a living from selling crocheted bibs and burp cloths. I originally began creating the pieces for my son, who was just under a year old at the time. Since then, I gave birth to another sweet little boy who inspired me to make more creations. My children are my muses and even when they're grown, I will still look back to their infancy for inspiration.
My new line of sewn products came about when my time was divided more among both the children. Crocheting, while enjoyable, takes much more time and customers were having to wait for their orders to be made. With sewing, I am able to have faster turn-around so my customers may enjoy their purchases as soon as possible. The bandannas are more convenient, in my opinion, as well. They are more of an accessory that can be worn all day long. Babies drool to no end and the options are to change their clothes multiple times a day, have a large sightly feeding bib on them, or have them wear a cute bandanna that coordinates with their clothing. My son has quite a few, as he is the most slobbery baby I know!

I have a big announcement: U-Handbag will cease trading this year in October 2017. From October all products, patterns and kits will no longer be available to buy anywhere. All product and *sewing pattern support will also no longer be available as of October. After 12 years of running U-Handbag I feel a need for a whole new adventure. I am not going away (I will have connections to the craft world), I am starting something new... I hope you will watch this space where all will be revealed.
*I will continue to provide support for my Craftsy classes, additionally this blog will remain online.
Do any of you remember this fella? He was our dog Beans and he featured in this blog's very first post back in 1st November 2006!
My reasons for a new direction change are several. They centre upon my role a as mum, my role as a designer and my personal connection with craft.
I have been so very lucky. From modest beginnings my business has spawned books, films and countless bag patterns and it has grown beyond all expectation. I am so grateful for your support and the encouragement you have given U-Handbag over the years. U-Handbag has been fun to run and I will miss you lovely bag makers! I hope that you have had fun too and that some of you will join me in my next journey. Thank you, I couldn't have done this without you. Lisa Xx
As one of the many scholars involved in writing the open letter calling on Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy to retract the essay "In Defense of Transracialism," by Rebecca Tuvel, I am compelled to come forward and attempt to reclaim a narrative spinning increasingly out of control.
First, I want to clarify the anonymity of the authorship of the letter. The writing was a collective effort by a dozen or more scholars — the majority faculty members and all of us in philosophy — weighing in on drafts, contributing to and editing sections, requesting additions, and demanding deletions. Many of us became involved at the request of black and/or trans scholars who feel completely demoralized by Tuvel's article and the failure of peer review that it represents. Speaking for myself, I signed and circulated the letter because I know, firsthand, of the damage this kind of scholarship does to marginalized groups, especially black and trans scholars, in philosophy.
The letter was addressed specifically to Hypatia's editor and associate editors. All of those involved in the writing of the letter care deeply about the journal, and our effort is itself an expression of our commitment to it. Given our various roles as authors, readers, and longstanding reviewers for the journal, we were alarmed about the failure of the peer-review process that allowed the publication of Tuvel's article. Some readers have stepped back and come to understand our dismay.
Tuvel received substantive critical feedback at conferences from scholars in critical race theory and trans studies. We do not understand how this failed to shape the review process and can only assume that such scholars were not selected as peer reviewers. We argue, then, that the peer-review process failed, in this instance, in at least two ways. First, it failed a junior scholar, Tuvel, by allowing subpar scholarship to be published in a flagship journal. Second, it failed the field of feminist philosophy as a subdiscipline that continues to struggle to break from the longstanding habits of the broader discipline of philosophy. More specifically, the article's publication signals an arrogant disregard for the broad, well-established, interdisciplinary scholarly fields of both critical race theory and trans studies. For an article that is explicitly about the concepts of the transracial and transgender, that omission is egregious.
While feminist philosophy should imply a critique of the field of philosophy itself, the open letter to Hypatia wasn't aimed at the discipline over all. None of us ever expected it to circulate so widely, to garner so many signatures, or to become the object of news stories. Yet, largely due to the fast response by Brian Leiter, the letter and the quickly issued apology by a majority of associate editors of Hypatia quickly became whipping girls, as it were, for the discipline as a whole. This has been, for me, the most astonishing part of the saga. Why would a discipline that has shown a systemic disregard for feminist scholarship suddenly care about this critical dialogue within it?
Regardless of what you think about the specifics of this case, what happened next is unconscionable: Jesse Singal of NY Mag (who has a penchant for writing high profile articles that depict transgender activists as out-of-control and anti-science, and with whom I've had previous run-ins) decided to write an alarmist article decrying the open letter to Hypatia as a "witch hunt." This helped to inspire a "pile on," as pundits far and wide who couldn't give two-shits about feminist philosophy weighed in on the matter, and attempted to portray this as yet another liberal-attack-on-free-speech (a position that I've previously critiqued as disingenuous and hypocritical).
Historically, "witch hunts" refer to when the masses, consumed by moral panic, attack people on the margins based on the assumption that these marginalized groups will infect or contaminate greater society with their wayward or evil beliefs and practices. So it seems extremely farcical (not to mention scaremongering) for people in the dominant majority to complain that one of their own kind is the victim of a "witch hunt" solely because a few people in the marginalized minority have challenged or critiqued their views.
So, a scholar failed to follow best practices around the treatment of marginalized communities. Critics pointed out the problem. She acknowledged her error and the harm it caused, corrected it, and apologized. Truly, this is a crisis of totalitarianism in the academy.
