Canadian Diamonds - Why You Should Buy Them Now

By: Kay Reimer

The last Northern gold rush occurred in the late-19th century in the Yukon when tens of thousands of prospectors made their way to Dawson City to find their fortunes. Since then, miners and oil workers have continued to seek wealth in the North. In the past decade, history has repeated itself with the discovery of diamonds in Canada's North.

Diamond exploration in Canada began in the 1960s, but major discoveries of diamond-bearing kimberlite ore did not occur until the 1990s. With the discovery of diamonds in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in 1991, Canada has risen to become one of the top three diamond producers in the world in terms of value, behind Botswana and Russia. Currently, Canada produces 15% of the world's diamonds. According to Statistics Canada, 13.8 million carats of diamonds worth approximately $2.8 billion have been mined in Canada between 1998 and 2002. To put it in perspective, each day Canada produces one 1.5 kilogram bag of diamonds worth $1.5 million. It is hoped that the diamond mines will provide income for decades to come.

In 1991, the first diamonds were found at Point Lake near Lac de Gras in the Northwest Territories, some 300 kilometers northeast of Yellowknife. Soon after the initial find, two diamond mines were opened in this region, the Ekati and Diavik mines. Diavik is approximately 100 kilometres southeast of Ekati. A third diamond mine, Jericho-3, began production in 2005, in Nunavut. A fourth diamond mine, Snap Lake-4 in the Northwest Territories, should begin production in 2007.

The Jericho-3 mine is located near the north end of Contwoyto Lake in West Kitikmeot, Nunavut Territory (NT). It is operated by the Tahera Diamond Corporation, which has been exploring for diamonds in Nunavut for the past seven years. Operations will commence with an open pit mine, and despite the harsh climate, it is planned to operate year-round. It is currently projected that the mine and processing plant will have an 8-year life and employ a total of approximately 125 to 175 employees and contractors.

The majority of shares in the Ekati mine (80%) are owned by the Australian mining conglomerate BHP Billton. The remaining 20% are owned by prospectors Charles Fipke and Stewart Blusson. The Ekati Diamond Mine is the only diamond mine owned by BHP Billiton and produces nearly four per cent of current world diamond production by weight and six per cent by value. The mine is expected to be viable for 20 years.

The Diavik mine, located about 300 km (180 miles) north of Yellowknife, is owned by Britain's Rio Tinto PLC (60 per cent) and Toronto-based Aber Diamond Corp. (40 per cent). It employs 700 workers and produces 8,000,000 carats annually for total sales of $100,000,000 Cdn. The area was first surveyed in 1992, construction began in 2001, and diamond production started in 2003. It provides approximately 5% of world diamond production. The mine is also expected to remain in operation for 20 years.

The Snap Lake mine, owned by DeBeers and operated by DeBeers and AMEC consultants, is starting this year and is expected to remain in production for 20 more years. This mine is located under a lake and will be the first entirely underground diamond mine in Canada. DeBeers also owns the Victor mine, an open-pit diamond mine in a remote area in the James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario, approximately 90 km west of the coastal community of Attawapiskat.

Canada's diamond industry has a world reputation for both quality and integrity. In recent years, there have been ethical problems with African diamonds, which can originate in unstable countries such as Sierra Leone and Angola where diamond sales fund terrorism, war and weapons sales. Canadian diamonds are traceable, as each one is etched on the girdle with a serial number as well as a microscopic Canadian logo such as a maple leaf or a polar bear as a trademark. The pictorial logos vary with the companies selling the diamonds.

Canadian diamonds, especially those from the Ekati mine, are high quality and extremely white. They're also fashionable, which was demonstrated when the Canadian teen singer Avril Lavigne attended the 2003 MTV Awards in New York wearing Canadian diamonds worth $50,000.

The mines provide high-income jobs with an average salary of $63,000, many of them permanent, not just the temporary make-work projects for which the Aboriginal communities of the Canadian north are well known. Almost 40% of the jobs are done by aboriginals. For instance, one diamond-cutting operation in the Northwest Territories is majority-owned by the Yellowknife Dene First Nation.

Some of the more specialized jobs, such as diamond cutting, are done by professionals from Armenia, Israel, China and Vietnam who earn salaries of more than $100,000. Many of the diamonds are cut and polished in facilities in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Matane, Quebec. Between 1998 and 2001, employment in the diamond mining industry in the North increased from 90 to 700 workers, with estimates of more than 2,000 jobs currently. Another 2,000 jobs are created in support industries for the mines and their workers. Diamond mining produces more than just diamond sales. It also funds many other activities such as construction, road-building, Arctic and sub-Arctic surveying and engineering projects.

Diamond fever in Canada's north shows no signs of abating, and an article in the Toronto Globe and Mail in February 2004 reported that prospecting companies have laid claim to more than 70 million acres in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The newspaper said the most dramatic increase in diamond prospecting is in Nunavut, where the number of prospecting permits grew to 1,518 in 2004 from just 190 in 2003.

Starting on Dec. 1, 2003, companies were given one month to apply for prospecting permits, resulting in long, round-the-clock lines at offices in Yellowknife and Iqaluit. There is a charge of 10 cents an acre to register a claim, $1.50 to $2 an acre to stake a claim. With 70 million acres involved, the cost of these claims is expected to generate up to $140,000,000 in government revenue even before the mines open. Prospectors desperate to finish filing their claims have even been known to drop claim stakes from helicopters in poorly-accessible areas.

An economic boom is occurring in the north as tradesmen move into the area to fill jobs in the mines. This has raised the cost of living in the north, which was high to begin with due to the cost of transporting food and other necessities to isolated northern communities. In such places as Yellowknife, a basement apartment can rent for as high as $1,500 a month.

In 1998, Yellowknife Mayor Dave Lowell said that the diamond rush might have saved his town from economic decline. "Quite simply, it is our future," Lowell said. "We'd be going into quite a recession if it wasn't for the diamond mine."

Start an Online Business and Make Money Online Through Affiliate

by Misty Daniels

The internet despite of its vulnerability to fraud offers great opportunity to make money online. Among the many legitimate ways of generating income online where many known internet marketers got rich is through affiliate marketing.

According to Wikipedia, "Affiliate Marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts." With this definition, affiliate marketing can simply be said earning by referral.

Contrary to the well known "Easy Money Schemes", affiliate marketing is not so. To make money online through affiliate marketing, much effort is needed. Although it is possible to start off without having to invest money by using free services, it is highly recommended to use paid ones because you can highly depend on the quality of service that they offer.

Your success on this kind of internet business will greatly depend on the efforts and strategies you apply to promote a certain product. Here are a few of the many things that you need to consider to make hit success.

1. Niche. You need to choose the niche that you will create. You need to know the things that people cannot live without. The basic needs are the best choices. Money, food nutrition, education and many other must haves. Choose the niche that best interests you because this will make your output better than any other.

2. Product. With this online business, you don't need to own a product which is the best thing about it. However, you need somebody else's product to promote. Choosing which product to promote on your chosen niche is vital. You need to make sure that the products you choose are related to your chosen niche. It will be unprofessional to see a product on your site that is not related to your niche plus the search engines will not like to see unrelated products on your website.

3. Website. You might have read that there is no need for you to have a website to engage in this business but I am saying otherwise. If you want to make it big, you need a website for your promotion. This is where you will be posting your articles. It should be noted that many sites hate it when you post with an affiliate link on their site so it is best to have your own site. Your website is the key to your success.

Affiliate marketing is a serious business and would never be a success if you leave it on autopilot. Many internet marketers who make money online through this hire virtual assistants, web developers and link builders to do all the daily activities for them. This is an excellent way since you can focus on other things but it is best to have hands on during the first few days of setting up your marketing business.

Porsche Or Ferrari - What You Need To Know

Porsche and Ferrari are German and Italian sides of the same coin, interpretations of the sports car idea. Both founded by a dominant patriarch, both honed in racing, both more than 50 years old, both with engineering and styling integrity. Whether on the track of Le Mains or on the streets, the two have always been put head-to-head and compared. Even the most naive motorist associates these two names with both performance and style.

We’ve decided to compare the methodical Porsche 911 Carrera 4S and the passionate Ferrari F430 because both of them astonish with their performance while attempting to maintain a reasonable amount of practicality but do not pretend to be anything other than sports cars.

A modern sports car should feature these characteristics: it should be started easily, maneuvered around town, blasted on a couple of country roads, it looks and performs the part on a racetrack but at the same time it is very safe.

The easier way to separate the two cars is by measuring figures since both of them have mastered the modern sports car requirements and basically there’s no other way to choose between these two phenomenal cars.

What initially impresses is Ferrari's lightning fast 4-second 0-100km/h acceleration and thrilling exhaust tone. As the occupants are pinned to the seats, the new generation 4.3-litre V8 pushes out 368 snarling kilowatts. Porsche’s acceleration also offers that kick in the pants a super car should deliver, although it is 0.8 seconds slower at the 100 km/k mark.

With such acceleration performance, it comes natural for both cars to excel in the braking department. The two cars offer optional ceramic discs for impressive stopping.

Porsche’s engine gets the upper hand as it is more refined and on the economy rank leaps ahead Ferrari with a 11.8 liters per 100 km as opposed to 18.3 liters. Both cars deliver the power through impressive 6-speed gearboxes and offer top rate handling performance.

Both F430 and Carrera4S offer great interior comfort and even if the space is limited, the occupants don't feel claustrophobic and flustered. Although an impressive mix of suede, carbon fiber and aluminum abound in the Ferrari, the Italians stand no chance when it comes to the high finish level attained by the Germans.

Speed and silence are key elements for any super car. The look and appearance is the biggest draw card. The Carrera 4S is a typical Porsche, despite the new proportions. It is a great looking car, like any other 911 but somehow the styling no longer creates the jaw dropping reaction that the Ferrari does. Indeed, traditionalists may say that Porsche pays homage to its roots, but the truth is that Ferrari F430 simply draws the attention.

However, even if Ferrari F430 takes your breath away with its appearance, the super car title goes to the Porsche Carrera 4S with a more complete all round package.

Why online casinos and online poker rooms can be hazardous (part 1)

Gambling is about taking risks. You play a game and you play against the odds. You win some and you lose some. It’s all in the game, you claim. It doesn’t really matter because it’s in the human nature to take risks. Sometimes, if you lack certain stimuli in your daily life, life can get pretty boring. Some will turn to drinking, some will turn to drugs. Others will start to gamble. And why not? You just want to have a good time and forget those little petty worries that constantly seem to plague you in your everyday live.

Gambling is all about taking calculated risks and it is about trust. Because you have to trust your adversary enough to think that the odds of the game are evenly distributed. If you lose, it must just be the result of a temporary stroke of bad luck. Better luck next time.

But what if the company behind the games isn’t as trustworthy as it should be? Would you know and would you want to know? And even more important: how would you know?

Suppose you like to visit some online casino or online poker room. Is it reputable? Is it honest? Does the fact that it is based or registered in a far away Middle American country like Belize worry you at all? Maybe it should…

Because why in heavens name would you even consider setting up a company as a shell or letterbox company established in an offshore jurisdiction if you have nothing to hide or nothing to fear. Why in Belize or Cyprus or, say, Mongolia?

And, to be able to play, you always have to download a little program. Which is, of course, very understandable. How would they otherwise know who is playing and when. Or where to transfer your money (to you if you win or from you if you lose). But how do you know that you only have downloaded the required software? Are you really certain that your computer isn’t being infected with some sort of unwanted spyware cookie, spyware or adware? Or, worse, a Trojan…

You like to take risks but there is far more to loose than just some money. Your privacy is the very first item to fall victim to these rogue online casinos and online poker rooms. That’s not good at all but even more worrying is that you could, theoretically, have downloaded software that could compromise your financial security because some programs could easily gain access to your precious bank account and transfer al the money to the aforementioned country.

This is not about taking risks but more about falling victim to criminal acts. In short: it’s not a risk you should be willing to take.

Why online pharmacies could be bad for your health (part 3)

Right. Here’s a question for you. Suppose you have some unnamed problems in bed and you have visited your doctor because of that. But then your doctor thinks your problem is not a medical problem but ‘merely’ a psychological problem. Yes, you do have Erectile Dysfunction (ED) but no he won’t prescribe you Viagra®. What do you do now?

You’ve just read my two previous columns and now you know that these infamous internet pharmacies can’t be trusted to supply you with the desired sildenafil (Viagra®). You now have a serious problem but you think you’ve got a solution. You decide to buy a ‘dietary supplement’ that has the same effects as the sildenafil (Viagra®) you want.

Dietary supplements aren’t as closely watched and regulated as regular drugs. They’re just vitamins, herbs, micro-nutrients, and more. But it is the ‘and more’ that is the real problem. Some of these ‘dietary supplements’ are in fact illegal drugs that contain potentially harmful undeclared ingredients.

The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned consumers not to purchase or consume Zimaxx, Libidus, Neophase, Nasutra, Vigor-25, Actra-Rx, or 4EVERON. These products are promoted and sold on web sites as ‘dietary supplements’ for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) and enhancing sexual performance, but these products have not been approved by FDA (nor will they ever be), and there is no guarantee of their safety and effectiveness or of the purity of their ingredients.

FDA advises consumers who have used any of these products to discontinue use and to consult their doctor.

Chemical analysis by the FDA revealed that Zimaxx contains sildenafil, which is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Viagra®. The other products contain chemical ingredients that are analogues of either sildenafil or a related pharmaceutical ingredient called vardenafil, which is the active ingredient in Levitra®, a prescription drug that, like Viagra®, is approved in the United States to treat ED. There is no mention of any of these ingredients in any of these illegal products’ labelling.

“These products threaten the public health because they contain undeclared chemicals that are similar or identical to the active ingredients used in several FDA-approved prescription drug products. This risk is even more serious because consumers may not know that these ingredients can interact with medications and dangerously lower their blood pressure,” said Dr. Steven Galson, Director of FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

This deception poses also a threat to consumers because the undeclared ingredients may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates. ED is a common problem in men with these conditions, and they may seek products like the ones noted above because these products claim that they are ‘all natural’ or that they do not contain the active ingredients used in FDA-approved ED drugs.

Furthermore because the manufacturing source of the active ingredients in these ‘dietary supplements’ is unknown, there is no assurance that the ingredients are safe, effective or pure.

The lesson that can be learned from this is: never try to circumvent your doctor because he can always be trusted to try to keep you alive…

Why online pharmacies could be bad for your health (part 2)

The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) is a semi-official organisation that monitors if countries implement agreements made by the United Nations on drug control. They just published their annual report. In it are interesting numbers about abuse but it contains also startling evidence that the writers of this annual report haven’t got a clue what is happening in the real world.


Simply put: they still think that you can send your grandmother to her doctor, claiming she doesn’t sleep to well or that her leg hurts so much. The medication she is prescribed is then ‘diverted’ and can be used by you. Only in the last paragraph of the press release the INCB acknowledges that “the increasing use of internet as a global drug market has further contributed to the spread in the abuse of prescription drugs”.


But it still makes an interesting read. The abuse of prescription drugs has already surpassed abuse of illicit drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, in some parts of the world. For example, in the United States, the abuse of prescription drugs, including pain killers, stimulants, sedatives and tranquilizers, has gone beyond the abuse levels of practically all illicit drugs, with the exception of cannabis. The abuse rate is higher than that of drugs as extacy, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroine. The number of Americans who abuse controlled proscription drugs nearly doubled from 7.8 million to 15.1 million from 1992 to 2003. Abuse of Oxycodone (OxyContin®), a painkiller, increased by almost 40%, to an annual prevalence of 5.5% among students in their final year of secondary school from 2002 to 2005. Hydrocodone (Vicodin®) is also widely abused, with a prevalence of 7.4% among college students in 2005.


The demand for these drugs is so high, that it has given rise to a new problem – that of counterfeit products. Strong demand on the illicit markets of Scandinavia for flunitrazepam (Rohypnol®), a sedative, is increasingly met by illicitly manufactured counterfeit preparations. The demand of the illicit market in North America for OxyContin® has lead to distribution of counterfeit products containing illicitly manufactured fentanyl.


An equally serious consequence is that abuse of prescription drugs can have lethal effects. An increasing number of deaths related to abuse of narcotic drugs, including fentanyl and oxycodone have been recorded in North America and Europe.


Aggravating the risk is the tendency of drug abusers to create their own recipies – for instance they remove, with the help of instructions freely available on the internet, the active substances from high dosage formulations and separate drugs from inactive ingredients, making them even more potent.


It makes one wonder why some governments are waging a war on drugs when they stubbornly forget to look in the obvious direction. Want an answer? It’s all about politics and it’s all about money. It’s politics because politicians never were interested in drugs and drug abuse in the first place. They are in politics for the voters and personal power. If voters want a war on drugs, they will get one. But they direct the war in a direction that will not hurt the companies (read: sponsors) that create these equally potent drugs.


Because the Vicodin®, abused by Dr. House (‘he solves mysteries where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is a irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients’), you order via an online pharmacy is exactly the same product from exactly the same company as the Vicodin you get from your doctor.


Or isn’t it?

What is "Index.dat" file?

In the Microsoft Windows operating system, index.dat is a file used by the Internet Explorer web browser. The index.dat file functions as an active database, which runs as long as Windows is active. It functions as a repository of redundant information, such as web URLs, search queries, and recently opened files. Its role is similar to that of an index file in the field of databases, where a technique called "indexing" stores the contents of a database in a different order to help speed up query responses. Similarly, when the Autocomplete function is enabled in Internet Explorer, every web address visited is sorted in the index.dat file, allowing the Internet Explorer to attempt to find an appropriate match when a user types in an edit field. Separate index.dat files exist for the Internet Explorer history, cache, and cookies.


Index.dat files are not only a privacy threat but they are hard to find and even harder to delete. In fact, in most cases it is impossible to delete Index.dat files manually because Internet Explorer and Windows use them constantly.


But don't be afraid that your privacy is compromised irreparably because iSysCleaner can delete these files for you. Please download iSysCleaner here, run it and your privacy is restored.

Why online pharmacies could be bad for your health

These days we are constantly bombarded by countless spam messages and a great deal of these unwanted messages contain offers for all kinds of medication that can be bought on countless online pharmacies. Normally it’s just irritating but it gets ever more irritating because it has just been reported that almost 90% of all e-mail is completely useless spam. And more and more of it is trying to sell you medicines, like Viagra.

I always wonder what sort of people would order any kind of medication in such questionable stores.

Because you have to diagnose yourself as no doctor will ever knock on your door to check if you are really physically or psychologically ill, what illness you could possibly have, and which medication is best to treat your symptoms. No, in these online pharmacies you are your own doctor and you prescribe your own medicines.

The right medicine for the right illness makes you better. At least, that’s the current medical theory. The wrong medicine, in contrast, could make your existing and possibly illusionary illness worse or create a new one to accompany the one you already have. It could even kill you.

So, what sort of customers do these companies cater to? Out of pure greed they cater to desperate people.

People, for instance, who are feeling so depressed that they want to step out of this life and use online pharmacies to get their medication to accomplish that goal. They just order a huge amount of sedatives, no questions asked, swallow them all at once, and they just fade away from this life into the next. And, more often than not, leaving their grieving family and friend behind with lots of unanswered questions and doubts.

Another problem arises when you are already using some sort of medication that has been prescribed by your regular doctor, that you believe that they work insufficiently in your particular case, and you’ll decide to order some new ones on the internet.

Recently we had some tragic examples of this behaviour when model and actress Anna Nicole Smith (and shortly before that her own son) was reported to have died as a result of taking a mix of medications, that interacted with each other and so sedated her vital organs, like respiration, that her death was the unwanted outcome.

And these companies often sell their products to people who are addicted to drugs but who are living in countries where the police and the justice system are treating users harshly. People who are afraid of getting caught by the police sometimes turn, in some desperation, to these online pharmacies and order medications that have the same effect as the drugs they were addicted to. And they are always safe because the orders are delivered on their doorstep by their trusted mailman. Until death catches them here too.

In the end you are also at serious risk to be conned out of your money. Some of these online pharmacies will not hesitate to deliver worthless and useless pills. You think your sex life will improved markedly with a little blue Viagra pill but imagine the deception when it turns out that you have swallowed a simple placebo.

Most of these shady companies have their origins in far away countries like India or China. And who knows what they put into their pills.

Would you ever trust them?
