The University of Toronto has founded Canada’s first university-specific esports scholarship. It will be funded by alumnus and global equities investor Victor Xin.The Victor Xin Scholarship in esports will be awarded to one full-time undergraduate student in Applied Science & Engineering with at least a 3.5 GPA, who has a “passion for esports or gaming” and participates in the UofT esports club. U of T does not specify how much the scholarship is worth, but does note that the first scholarship will not be awarded until fall 2018.“There are trailblazers on campus who are rallying a different set of students to build campus organizations focused on an alternative way of learning to lead and succeed in life,” Xin said in a press release. “Society may not recognize them yet – but we shouldn’t let them fall through the cracks.”According to a press release, Xin played StarCraft while he was in the Engineering program in 2008 and started the U of T esports Club. He now mostly plays Dota 2 when he has the time.U of T joins a growing list of universities and colleges that have begun to offer esports scholarships. In 2016, the University of California at Irvine launched a scholarship program, while Robert Morris University and the University of Pikeville both kicked off esports scholarship programs in 2015.

Tetra BioPharma Enters into a Clinical Research Partnership with Sante Cannabis, Quebec’s Leading Medical Cannabis Institution $TBP.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:10 AM on Monday, January 23rd, 2017

Tbp large

  • Entered into a clinical research partnership with Santé Cannabis
  • Santé Cannabis will be working with PPP to develop the late phase clinical trial protocols that will be used to obtain substantial evidence of the safety and efficacy of PPP001 required for a new prescription drug approval from Health Canada and the USA Food and Drug Administration
  • Ground-breaking trials seek to receive the first approval for a Canadian-manufactured cannabis-based prescription medication

OTTAWA, ONTARIO–(Jan. 23, 2017) – PhytoPain Pharma Inc. (“PPP“), a subsidiary of Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (“TetraBio” or the “Company” or “TBP“) (CSE:TBP)(CSE:TBP.CN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a clinical research partnership with Santé Cannabis. Under the partnership, Santé Cannabis will be working with PPP to develop the late phase clinical trial protocols that will be used to obtain substantial evidence of the safety and efficacy of PPP001 required for a new prescription drug approval from Health Canada and the USA Food and Drug Administration (“FDA“). These ground-breaking trials seek to receive the first approval for a Canadian-manufactured cannabis-based prescription medication.

Santé Cannabis is a private clinic specialized in the clinical application of medical cannabis for the treatment of pain and other chronic and terminal health conditions. The clinic’s team of physicians and support staff has unparalleled experience in the assessment and monitoring of medical cannabis patients. Santé Cannabis is the leading medical cannabis research institute in the province of Québec and the primary recruitment site for the province-wide Quebec Cannabis Registry. “Our clinic has provided services to almost 2,000 patients referred by over 1,500 physicians across Québec,” states Erin Prosk, Director of Santé Cannabis. “It is clear that both the medical community and the Quebec patient population are in desperate need of information about the potential benefits and risks of medical cannabis treatments. The status of medical cannabis as an unapproved treatment dissuades many physicians from writing a prescription and requires patients to pay for treatments out of pocket. Of the 2,000 patients that we have seen, there is not one who is not burdened by this financial barrier.”

Dr. Antonio A.L. Vigano, MD, MSc, will lead the Santé Cannabis team to administer the Phase II-III clinical trials in close collaboration with Dr. Irina Kudrina, MDCM, CCFP, CSP, and Santé Cannabis Medical Director Dr. Michael Dworkind, MD, CCFP, FCFP. Dr. Vigano is an attending physician in the Supportive and Palliative Care Service at the McGill University Health Centre and an Associate Professor in the McGill University Department of Oncology. He is the Director of the McGill Nutrition and Performance Laboratory and the Cancer Rehabilitation (CARE) Program. Dr. Vigano has assessed and followed approximately 400 patients during his 18-month tenure at Santé Cannabis. “It has become clear that medical cannabis can be a critical complementary therapy for the treatment of pain,” states Dr. Vigano. “Administering these late phase clinical trials is necessary to rigorously validate the efficacy and tolerability that I observe every day with my patients at Santé Cannabis. If specific medical cannabis products and protocols such as that we will design for PPP001 can withstand the pharmaceutical approval process, it cannot be denied as a valid pain therapy. Cost-coverage should be a logical next step.”

Dr. Irina Kudrina is a McGill-certified pain physician and an attending physician and head of the chronic pain services at the Queen Elizabeth GMF-U and Assistant professor and clinician-researcher at the McGill University Department of Family Medicine. “At present, medical cannabis has already become an important medicine in the fields of oncology, chronic pain, neurology and others. In a clinical review* published in Journal of the American Medical Association (2015), Harvard-based researchers highlighted its use in some medical conditions as being supported by high quality evidence. In Canada, the efforts by regulatory, medical, and pharmaceutical bodies and by the patient advocacy movements have been targeting multiple structural, legal and information barriers still prevailing from the times when long-term high dose opioid therapy was prescribed to chronic pain patients despite its chronic toxicity effects and without high quality evidence for such use. While the clinical use of medical cannabis remains a stigmatized and poorly researched option for some medical conditions, sufficiently large-scale late-phase clinical trials on efficacy, safety and tolerability of medical cannabis are long overdue. These studies might open the door for another class of medications in an attempt to fill the current significant gap for more long-term pharmacological options.”

*(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26103031)

PPP entered into this partnership because of Santé Cannabis’ unique expertise and dedication to a pharmacovigilance approach in medicine. The clinic has established clinical practices that help minimize adverse effects in patients and will help design the treatment protocols for the Phase II-III studies. According to Dr. Guy Chamberland, Chief Scientific Officer and Regulatory Affairs, “Adequately designing a late phase clinical trial for the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of inhaled Cannabis requires clinical teams experienced in handling the administration of Cannabis by inhalation to patients. The medical experts of Santé Cannabis complement the scientific and medical experts of our Clinical Advisory Board and provide PPP with an exceptionally solid foundation for the clinical development of Cannabis products as prescription drugs.”

Once authorized by Health Canada, Santé Cannabis will be recruiting participating physicians and patients from the Montreal area throughout 2017. For more information, please contact the clinic by email at [email protected].

About Santé Cannabis:

Santé Cannabis is Québec’s only medical clinic and resource centre dedicated to the clinical practice and research of medical cannabis treatments. Since opening in November of 2014, physicians at Santé Cannabis have assessed almost 2,000 patients referred by more than 1,500 physicians across the province of Québec. Santé Cannabis currently administers several clinical study protocols, including the Québec Cannabis Registry in collaboration with the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre and in accordance with the regulations of the Collège des Médecins du Québec.

Big Ten Universities Entering The New Esports Realm $GMBL

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:05 AM on Friday, January 20th, 2017

Vgabmlinglarge copy

Members of Robert Morris University eSports teams practiced League of Legends in Chicago in 2014.Nathan Weber for The New York Times
  • In a recognition of the popularity of e-sports on college campuses, most Big Ten universities will field teams in the multiplayer online game League of Legends and compete in a style resembling conference play, in a partnership with the Big Ten Network.
  • Besides streaming competitions on the internet, the Big Ten Network will broadcast select games, including the championship in late March, weekly on its cable network, which is available to more than 60 million households nationally.

Riot Games, League of Legends’ creator and publisher, and the Big Ten Network — which is owned by Fox and the Big Ten Conference — announced the partnership Thursday morning in a joint statement.

In the first broadcast, on Jan. 30, teams from the Big Ten’s two newest members, Rutgers and Maryland, will face off, according to a Big Ten Network spokesman.

A number of popular games, including Madden-brand football video games, fall under the e-sports rubric. In League of Legends, two teams of five — composed of a set of stock characters seemingly inspired by fantasy novels — try to destroy a glowing object, called a nexus, on their opponent’s side.

In the Big Ten Network’s League of Legends season, teams in the Big Ten’s East and West divisions will play each other in best-of-three, round-robin competitions, and the top four from each division will then enter a single-elimination bracket. (The two Big Ten universities not participating this year, Nebraska and Penn State, are in different divisions. The Big Ten has 14 members.)

While lacking the mainstream visibility of traditional college sports, e-sports are wildly popular, even as spectator sports, among young people of the type sought after by both colleges and advertisers. Professional gaming contests frequently sell out major arenas, including Madison Square Garden, and several top European soccer clubs have signed e-sports playersas brand ambassadors.

Riot already runs a League of Legends College Championship, and the champion crowned by the Big Ten Network season will compete in the final rounds of that annual event.

  • Planning is underway to drill test its lithium bearing pegmatite zone discovered in the summer 2016 exploration program on ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium’s (T-NMX) Whabouchi Deposit and the newly discovered Doris zone

Vancouver, BC / January 18, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that planning is underway to drill test its lithium bearing pegmatite zone discovered in the summer 2016 exploration program on ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium’s (T-NMX) Whabouchi Deposit and the newly discovered Doris zone.

On January 17th, 2017 Nemaska Lithium announced “With the Doris zone discovery in late fall it is prudent to consider the possible impact of its eastward continuance…” In the news release of November 28th, 2016, Nemaska Lithium stated, “the Doris zone, contains 5 interconnected dykes and has now been confirmed on 420m of lateral extension and up to a maximum depth of 440m where it joins the main dyke.” “Doris appears to run parallel to main zone which extends for 1.2km to the northeast.”

Durango’s 100% wholly owned NMX East ground adjoins Nemaska Lithium on the eastern perimeter where Nemaska Lithium’s Doris zone remains open, less than 1.5km from the proposed mining pit. Durango’s geological team confirmed a pegmatitic intrusion running parallel to Nemaska Lithium’s main zone where it tested positive for anomalous Lithium and rubidium as per the news release on September 21, 2016. A map of the zones comparative with Nemaska Lithium Inc. may be viewed on the Durango website.

Tetra Bio-Pharma CSO Discussing Task Force Recommendations, DEA — CFN Media $TBP.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:58 AM on Tuesday, January 17th, 2017

Tbp large

  • Exclusive interview covering the effect recent Canadian Cannabis Task Force recommendations and DEA actions could have on Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc.
  • United States government has permitted individual states to legalize the drug, but the Drug Enforcement Administration recently cracked down on cannabidiol (CBD) makers and President Trump’s cabinet picks are opponents of legalization

SEATTLE, WA–(Jan 17, 2017) – CFN Media Group (“CannabisFN”), the leading creative agency and digital media network dedicated to legal cannabis, announces publication of an exclusive interview and story covering the effect recent Canadian Cannabis Task Force recommendations and DEA actions could have on Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (OTC PINK: GRPOF) (CSE: TBP) as the company continues development of smokable marijuana as treatment for a variety of conditions.

The United States government has permitted individual states to legalize the drug, but the Drug Enforcement Administration recently cracked down on cannabidiol (CBD) makers and President Trump’s cabinet picks are opponents of legalization. In Canada, voters approved the nationwide legalization of cannabis with the election of Prime Minister Trudeau, but the framework governing the program is only now starting to become clear.

Tetra Bio-Pharma has already started down the pharmaceutical path by undergoing clinical trials for medical cannabis in its natural form. The company believes that smokable marijuana may provide patients with a better natural alternative to synthetic cannabinoids and extracts. With the large number of existing users, the company also has access to a lot of data to support its clinical studies.

In the interview, Tetra’s Chief Science Officer, Dr. Guy Chamberland, points out that medical cannabis patients are keen on receiving reimbursements since they cannot afford regular access without it. At the same time, physicians have been hesitant to prescribe medical cannabis without robust clinical trials demonstrating both safety and efficacy. These demands could lead to a much more ‘pharmaceutical’ approach than existing medical cannabis programs.

The initial undiscounted value of the earn-out was approximately US$1.5 million.

The principals of Haze will continue to work with Namaste as we assume full operational management of the site.”

HPQ Silicon Receives 43-101 Report on Beauce Gold Property and Prepares For Spin Out And Dividend In Q1 $HPQ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:59 AM on Friday, January 13th, 2017

Hpq large

  • Received the required 43-101 Technical report for the Beauce Gold property, a prerequisite of the listing documentation for the planned spin-out of the company’s gold assets
  • Spin out and dividend of Beauce Gold Fields Expected by March 31, 2017

January 13, 2017 / Montreal, Quebec, Canada HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (“HPQ”) (TSX Venture: HPQ) is pleased to update shareholders regarding the status of its gold asset spinoff, as well as, announcing it has received the required 43-101 Technical report for the Beauce Gold property, a prerequisite of the listing documentation for the planned spin-out of the company’s gold assets.

UPDATE – SPIN OUT AND DIVIDEND OF BEAUCE GOLD FIELDS EXPECTED BY MARCH 31, 2017

On March 11, 2016, the company announced its plans to spin out its gold projects and issue a dividend to shareholders. The purpose of the spinout is to segregate the company’s valuable but diverse holdings to unlock even greater value for shareholders.

The Company will transfer all of its gold assets into a newly formed subsidiary called Beauce Gold Fields Inc./Les Champs d’Or de Beauce Inc., then dividend out 80% of the Capital of the subsidiary to its shareholders.

In order for the final transfer of Beauce from HPQ, the following steps have been taken:

1. An independent board of directors of the subsidiary Beauce Gold Fields Inc./Les Champs d’Or de Beauce Inc is in the process of being named. The new Board will be able to approve gold property transactions between Beauce and HPQ.

2. The Company has completed the required Listing Statement and prescribed documentation that will be submitted to the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) to be eligible for listing on the Exchange.

3. The completion of a new 43-101 on Beauce for the purposes of designating it the Property Of Merit for the new company.

HPQ-Silicon is aiming to have the spinoff completed and dividend shares of the new subsidiary delivered to shareholders during Q1 2017.

Bernard Tourillon, chairman and chief executive officer of HPQ Silicon stated: “We are very excited that the spin-out is nearing completion. We have seen a resurgence in the values of high quality gold projects and, given the fact the Beauce Gold project holds the largest historical placer gold deposit in eastern North America, we believe an independently traded Beauce Gold Fields will unlock meaningful value for our shareholders. Moreover, a singularly focused HPQ will provide an optimal environment to complete our goal of becoming the lowest cost producer of solar grade silicon metal on the planet.”

Beauce Gold 43-101 Technical Report

As part of the listing application documentation, the preparation and filing of a new 43-101 Qualification Technical report on the Beauce Gold property was required for it to become the Property Of Merit to Beauce Gold Fields.

The Company has received a 43-101 Technical report on the Beauce Gold property by Mr. Benoit Violette, P.Geo. Mr. Violette competed a full overview of the geology and of all historical and current exploration work. He concludes that in addition to the residual-alluvial mining potential for which the property is advanced in the permitting process, the Beauce Gold Project is a property of merit with a significant potential for the discovery of primary gold mineralization related to the source of the alluvial-residual deposits of the Gilbert River drainage. In the past, because of the relative ease of accessibility of the gold in this environment and the inexperience of the successive owners and operators with hard rock mining, this potential has been neglected. Further exploration is recommended to be carried-out by Beauce Gold Field Inc.

About The Beauce Gold Property

The Beauce Gold Project is a unique, historically prolific gold field located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec. Comprising of a block of claims 100% owned by HPQ Silicon, the project area hosts a six (6) km long unconsolidated gold bearing sedimentary units (a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite) holding the largest historical placer gold deposit in eastern North America. The gold in saprolite indicates a close proximity to a bedrock source of gold providing significant potential for further exploration discoveries.

Property Highlights

  • -Certificate of authorizations (CA) allowing the start of first phase mining activities on the Rang Chaussegros sector of the Beauce Gold project-Polygonally calculated Gold Exploration Target, for the entire historical placer channel ranging between 61,000 ounces (2,200,000 m3 @ 0.87 g Au/m3) and 366,000 ounces* (2,200,000 m3 @ 5.22 g Au/m3)-Significant potential for further exploration discoveries, geology suggest a proximate bedrock source of gold.-176 acres of real estate 100% owned by HPQ Silicon-Property held four historical gold mining operations-Property produced the largest gold nuggets in Canadian mining history (St-Onge Nugget 43 oz, McDonald Nugget 45 oz, Kilgour Nugget 51 oz)
