Pistol Bay Mining with Zinc like a Phoenix from the Ashes, Early Bird Special Report

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2016 / Today, Stephan Bogner from Rockstone Research published an initiating coverage report on Pistol Bay Mining Inc. (TSX.V: PST).

When initiating coverage on Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. 2 weeks ago, the stock traded at $0.16 CAD (today at $0.39 CAD). When initiating coverage on Aurvista Gold Corp. in May, the stock traded at $0.23 CAD (today at $0.30 CAD). Obviously, the early bird catches the worm. Pistol Bay Mining Inc. has nearly 14 million shares issued and outstanding, and a current market capitalization of less than $750.000 CAD.

According to the company, other worthwile projects are presently seeked to create shareholder value. Once the ongoing financing has been closed, some of the proceeds are expected to be invested into its 100% owned Dixie Zinc-Copper Project in the prolific Red Lake Mining District of Ontario. This project was acquired already last year, when the commodity markets were culminating in its depressed state, hence it may turn out as a superb bargain (especially when exploration starts and succeeds). Of all commodities, zinc enjoys one of the most positive fundamentals for higher prices going forward and appreciated by almost 50% so far in 2016.

On top of that, Pistol Bay owns the 3 uranium projects C4, C5 and C6 in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, located adjacent to the Wheeler River / Phoenix Deposits of Denison Mines Corp. and Cameco Corp. Pistol Bay optioned this project to Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Uranium Corp., who informed the company that they will continue exploration on this property in 2016. Rio Tinto previously announced its intention to exercise its option to acquire 100% interest by paying $5 million CAD within the next 3.5 years and granting a 5% net profits interest to Pistol Bay.

Financial Blog Makes Currency Conversion Data Analysis Simpler Than Ever

As the global economy constantly changes, it is important to stay up to date on the latest news and data. ExchangeRates UK provides all the necessary information in a onestop location free
to the public.

London, United Kingdom – July 29, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

Since2005, ‘ ExchangeRates UK ’, a financial blog dedicated to providing up to date and punctual data on currency and conversion rates, has been comparing and tracking foreign exchange rates to display to the general public. In addition, the blog provides readers with the most recent currency related news, useful tools such as conversion calculators, speculatory articles, and more. With such information, readers are able to stay informed with the most valuable data on what is important to them: their money. Exchange rates are the current going rates at which one currency can be exchanged for another. These rates are constantly changing as the global economy does the same. As the economy of one nation becomes stronger, the value of their currency may rise to compensate, changing the exchange rate of their currency to another. Such information is priceless to consumers, economists, and investors alike. The rate of currency exchange shapes the value of a currency, as it is only worth what others are willing to exchange for it. This balance of trade between currencies shapes national economies, international trade, and overall monetary value. Staying up to date and monitoring these exchange rates can be invaluable to those dealing with foreign exchanges.

Similarly, the speculation and monitoring of trends within exchange rates is equally, if not more important than staying up to date. While anyone can read data that is current, it takes a special mindset to view trends and evaluate data to accurately predict the future trends of a currency. Speculation of exchange rates is key to investors. Properly predicting the strengthening or weakening of a currency can lead to a massive pay off. Much of this speculatory data is more relevant than ever in 2016, where Britain has left the European Union, the Kurds fight for their own nation state, and international trade is rapidly changing. For example, with the recent news of ‘Brexit’, a majority predicted that Britain would remain within the European Union, and thus maintain their economic ties. “ Sentiment is dominant, as we note
the continued rise in odds favoring a ‘Remain’ result for Thursday’s referendum on EU membership—climbing above 80% for the first time since late May ,” states a testimony in an article by UK economist and writer for Exchange Rates UK, Colin Lawrence. However, the unexpected occured, and the British pound exchange rates plummeted, causing a massive dent in the global economy.

Properly monitoring, displaying, and analyzing data of global exchange rates is not only valuable, but essential to controlling international trade. ExchangeRates UK understands the gravity of this, and has provided a public website with credible resources that is absolutely free. Users can find practical data, read articles and speculation from a team of credible authors with years of experience, view the latest news, and evaluate exchange rates that are updated every minute, for no cost at all. This is because ExchangeRates UK looks out not for themselves, but for their clientele.

Build the Hidden Fortress Roastery Cafe Project is Launched by Amelia Loftus

Loftus Hopes to Raise Enough Money to Move Her Small-Scale Coffee Roaster into New and More Spacious Digs

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2016 / Amelia Loftus, founder of Hidden Fortress, a small-scale, solar-powered coffee roaster, is pleased to announce her intentions to move her successful coffee operation into a larger space. Calling her project Build the Hidden Fortress Roastery Cafe, Loftus is currently trying to raise money for the beautiful and conveniently located new building in Watsonville, California.

To learn more about the Hidden Fortress and Loftus’ plans to bring her delicious and organically grown coffee into the appreciative hands of as many people as possible, please visit https://goo.gl/Db9d2Y.

As Loftus noted, she founded Hidden Fortress in 2012 and operates the business full time. She has roasted coffee since 2000, and is extremely knowledgeable about what it takes to create delicious, organic and sustainably grown coffee.

“Our primary sales outlet has been our farmer’s market coffee booth, which is also solar powered,” Loftus said.

“Our coffee business has grown steadily over 3 years and we have outgrown the 2 pound solar and propane powered coffee roasting machine we use.”

While Loftus is excited to expand her coffee roasting operation into a much bigger leased space in Watsonville, she also understands that achieving this goal will take a great deal of money. This inspired her to launch a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter. Loftus hopes to raise $25,000 through crowdfunding in order to move into her new space as soon as possible.

“Our location is next to a business park where many large local work places such as Granite Construction, Nordic Naturals, the community hospital, and Foxx Racing Shox are located,” she said, adding that it is a central location with easy freeway access, ideal for drop in visitors and is a great launching point for her and her husband to get to the farmer’s markets.

“The plans include the installation of 2 small roasters, and a full food prep kitchen area so we can make fresh lemonade and syrups for our coffee bar.”

About Hidden Fortress Roastery Cafe:

Amelia Loftus founded Hidden Fortress in 2012 and operates the business full time. This includes keeping up the farm with help from her husband, Patrick. The couple roasts organic coffee at their farm and sells it at farmer’s markets. They are about to build their roastery cafe and need a cash boost to finish.

Theralase Files ITA Application to Health Canada

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2016 / Theralase Technologies Inc. (“Theralase®” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TLT) (OTC: TLTFF), a leading biotech company focused on the commercialization of medical devices to eliminate pain and the development of Photo Dynamic Compounds (“PDCs”) to destroy cancer, announced today that it has filed an Investigational Testing Authorization (“ITA”) with Health Canada for approval to use its patent pending TLC-3200 Photo Dynamic Therapy (“PDT”) Laser System and TLC-34XX Dosimetry Fibre Optic Cage (“DFOC”) technology, in conjunction with its Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”) approved lead PDC, TLD-1433, in a Phase Ib clinical trial for the treatment of Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (“NMIBC”).

The TLC-3200 PDT Laser System delivers green laser light, at a wavelength of 525 nanometers (“nm”), while the DFOC technology precisely monitors the laser light to provide a uniform distribution of the laser light energy, in the correct dosage, to the bladder wall.

The clinical procedure for the Phase Ib study to treat NMIBC, titled “A Phase Ib Trial of Intravesical Photodynamic Therapy in Patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer at High Risk of Progression Who are Refractory to Therapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (“BCG”) and Who are Medically Unfit For or Refuse a Cystectomy” is to:

Intravesically instill a sterile water based solution of TLD-1433 via catheter, through the urethra, into the bladder of a patient inflicted with NMIBC, who has failed standard of care and who is not indicated or refuses to have their bladder removed
Allow the solution of TLD-1433 to absorb into any resident bladder cancer tumours for approximately sixty minutes
Void the bladder and flush the bladder twice with sterile water to remove any excess TLD-1433 solution not absorbed by any bladder tumours
Admit the patient into the operating room and administer a general anesthetic
Insert a rigid cystoscope through the urethra of the patient into the bladder
Fill the bladder with sterile water to provide shape to the bladder
Insert the TLC-34XX DFOC device into the bladder via the cystoscope’s working channel and connect it to the TLC-3200 PDT Laser System
Deploy the DFOC in the bladder (like an umbrella) to strategically place optical detectors at twelve (12) predetermined locations along the bladder wall to precisely monitor the laser light to provide a uniform distribution of the laser light energy, in the correct dosage, to the bladder wall

Pending Health Canada approval of the ITA, Theralase will immediately commence enrollment of patients into a Phase Ib clinical study in the treatment of NMIBC. The primary outcome measures of the Phase Ib clinical study will be safety and tolerability, with a secondary outcome measure of pharmacokinetics (where the drug accumulates in tissue and how it exits the body) and an exploratory outcome measure of efficacy.

Roger Dumoulin-White, President and CEO of Theralase stated that, “The Company and its team of dedicated professionals have worked tirelessly over the last 7 months to design, optimize, test and manufacture the hardware and software of the TLC-3200 PDT Laser System and the TLC-34XX DFOC technology and to compile the data for a Health Canada ITA application, providing support for claims of: biocompatibility, sterility, electrical safety, functionality and mechanical integrity of the technology. We look forward to a favourable and timely review by Health Canada to allow us the ability to commence the Phase Ib clinical study for NMIBC.”

About Theralase Technologies Inc.

Theralase Technologies Inc. (“Theralase®” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TLT) (OTC: TLTFF) in its Therapeutic Laser Technology (“TLT”) Division designs, manufactures, markets and distributes patented super-pulsed
laser technology indicated for the: elimination of pain, reduction of inflammation and dramatic acceleration of tissue healing for numerous nerve, muscle and joint conditions. Theralase’s Photo Dynamic Therapy (“PDT”) Division researches and develops specially designed molecules called Photo
Dynamic Compounds (“PDCs”), which are able to localize to cancer cells and then when laser light activated, effectively destroy them.

Philadelphia SEO Company WitBlade Reveals Most Common Mistake in E-Commerce, Launches Repair Service

July 29, 2016 – – In today’s tech world, anyone can start an online business with relative ease. E-commerce has emerged as one of the most popular ways for people and businesses to make money online.

Whether a business is selling its own product or drop-shipping a majority of their orders, success often hinges on the ability to gain more and more traffic to the website. This often comes with clever advertising campaigns and useful content on the site itself.

Few people, however, are in the know about technical SEO and often neglect some very important aspects of their web presence. “We are now in the age of the ‘semantic web,’ where machine learning and AI are heading to the forefront of SEO,” says Ryan Rodden, schema.org markup expert. “Store owners need to provide as much information to the search engines as possible or products will not be eligible for rich snippets and extended features offered in Google search.”

Rodden says that few e-commerce websites take advantage of schema.org code, and most business owners are not even aware that it exists, which he revealed in a recent interview on Schemaapp.com.

The following is an example search results display:

It’s fairly obvious that the star ratings, vote count, and pricing (“free”) from the second listing stand out prominently. This display can lead to more clicks to a particular web page, where a product is sold.

The fact is almost any e-commerce site can gain a product listing like this by following the correct guidelines available from Google and the database at schema.org.

Many e-commerce stores have the code implemented, but don’t realize that the guidelines and standards have changed. Google offers a way to determine if a product listing is missing critical information. For example, it will provide a warning if the markup is not quite correct:

It will also reveal errors that need to be fixed. More often than not, this disqualifies a product listing or blog post from gaining rich snippets in the search results page:

Rodden says that this mistake is very common when evaluating an e-commerce website. The issue is found on small e-commerce startups to online giants where many people shop daily.

“It’s by far the one thing that few online stores seem to get right, let alone understand. After evaluating hundreds of websites, it’s easily the most frequent mistake.”

Online stores can see an increase in traffic and conversions by correctly implementing the code according to the most recent set of guidelines presented by the major search engines, including Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Most business owners are not aware of this and must rely on a search marketing expert like Rodden to provide a solution.

WitBlade, a search engine optimization company based out of Philadelphia, PA, now offers a service to address the issue for companies that need a quick fix.

“Some businesses don’t need a full blown advertising campaign, but they do need a tune-up when it comes to properly implementing the code according to the new standards. We offer this solution as a stand alone service,” says Rodden.

As technology advances, many businesses have converted their services or offerings to an online ordering format. This requires technical knowledge and brings in a new era of SEO techniques that will set a new standard for the online shopping experience.

Preneed Specialist Highlights The Importance Of A Funeral Pre-Planning Checklist

July 29, 2016 – – Preneed Specialist has highlighted the need for a checklist that people can use for preplanning their funeral. The company states that preplanning is essential in being fully prepared for the inevitable and in helping family and loved ones to better handle the grieving process.

“People don’t want to think about funerals, and often, loved ones are so engrossed in their own grief that planning can be virtually impossible,” says Brian Beck, president of Preneed Specialist.

The company states that preplanning takes the stress off loved ones, and gives them the time that they need to grieve properly. The checklist for preplanning funerals can help consumers to have the funeral that they want, with the specific songs, prayers, and even pallbearers that they choose, while taking the pressure off family members during this difficult time.

The preplanning checklist includes everything related to a funeral from flowers to pallbearers to requests for donations to charities. The company states that it can simply be printed off, filled out, and then taken with the consumer when they go to speak with a local funeral director.

“This way, you have everything that you want all organized into a document that you can easily deliver to your chosen funeral director,” states Brian Beck. “You’ll get the funeral that you want and your family will have time to grieve your passing as they should.”

The checklist is designed to provide peace of mind both to the consumer filling it out and more specifically, to friends and family upon his or her passing. The company states that planning the service in advance allows consumers to specify the exact type of service that they want, and allows the consumer to make the difficult decisions about certain aspects that can often leave grieving families uncertain.

It allows the consumer to choose whether or not a wake or visitation should be set up prior to the service, and everything about the service itself, including where it should be held, how long it should last, and various other aspects.

Meanwhile, Preneed Specialist is a company that offers print, direct mail, and social media advertising to funeral homes and the pre-need industry. This allows them to spread the word about how their services can benefit people.
