Comment by Joe Dales on March 11, 2014 at 4:28am: “

14th London Swine Conference (LSC) moves to Hilton”

London ON, March 4, 2014

– The theme is “Positioning for Success” as the pork industry

prepares to gather in London for the fourteenth annual LSC. These two full days of

presentations and workshops have moved to the Hilton London for Wednesday and Thursday,

March 26 & 27, 2014. Speakers will cover topics ranging from practical on-farm decision

making and management to the impacts of international trade on pork production.

“I am excited about the timely topics with something for everyone” says conference Chair

Teresa Van Raay. The program will once again be targeted for sow herds on Wednesday, and

wean to finish on Thursday.

“With speakers from across the continent and a new venue I am

looking forward to seeing everyone at this premier swine industry conference.”

Wednesday’s Sow

-focused agenda will include ‘Lessons Learned from PEDv’, along with

experts in the areas of group sow housing, nutrition and lactation, and On

tario’s position in the

global marketplace. At the farm level, workshops will consider piglet and milk management,

reproductive troubleshooting, feeding the sow, and practical aspects of group sow housing.

On Thursday, the focus is on Wean to Finish. Topics such as real factors that affect

profitability, the importance of international trade to Ontario production, and national health

status monitoring will be covered. Farm level workshops will include managing pile-ups,

benchmarking and measuring profitability on-farm, spotting problems early, higher fiber diets,

and improving feed efficiency.

As always, the LSC program will include leading researchers, industry experts and pork

producers. This unique mix of perspectives provides new insights and can lead to lively

workshop discussions. Presenters this year will include: Steve Pollmann, Murphy Brown

West; Doug MacDougald, South West Ontario Veterinary Services; Chris Byra, Canadian

Swine Health Intelligence Network; Ron Bates, Michigan State University; Laurie Connor,

University of Manitoba; Chantal Farmer, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada; Ruurd Zijlstra,

Ltd.; Kathleen Sullivan, Trade Consultant.

Century Lithium Advances Demonstration Plant Relocation To Tonopah And Provides Reagent Cost Structure Update

Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z) ("Century Lithium" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the relocation of its Lithium Extraction Facility ("Demonstration Plant") to the Company's site in Tonopah, Nevada, USA. Current market conditions also highlight the competitive advantage of the Company's 100%-owned Angel Island lithium project ("Angel Island") in Esmeralda County, Nevada and its integrated chlor-alkali process as global sulfur and sulfuric acid prices rise. "During the last five years, Century Lithium developed an integrated process flowsheet that successfully produced battery-grade lithium carbonate from Angel Island claystone. The patent-pending process uses salt, rather than sulfur-derived reagents, which distinguishes Angel Island from spodumene and most sedimentary lithium projects globally," said Bill Willoughby, President and CEO of Century Lithium. "Moving the Demonstration Plant to Tonopah lets us show the operating benefi

Secretary of State Zerucelli highlights suspension of the federal fuel excise tax on gasoline and diesel and other affordability measures to lower costs for Canadians

The global landscape is rapidly changing. In response, Canada's new government is focused on what we can control – building a stronger, more independent, more resilient economy. We're building an economy where Canadians are empowered with greater security, certainty, and a lower cost of living. Global conflict and ongoing supply disruptions in the Middle East are driving up fuel prices around the world. To make Canada more energy secure and less reliant on external factors, our government is advancing major projects to realise Canada's full potential in clean and conventional energy. We're building big in electricity, LNG, and nuclear to provide all Canadians with clean, reliable, and affordable power. As we build for the long term, we are providing immediate relief to bring down costs for Canadians right now – including cutting taxes for 22 million Canadians, cancelling the consumer carbon tax, and protecting and expanding vital social programs. In that spirit, the Honourable John Z
