Public speaking is a great way to demonstrate your expertise. Even being asked to speak is a recognition of your professional standing. It's a chance to give back. And, there's just something about wearing a "Speaker" badge at an event that makes people pay more attention to what you have to say, even in conversations over coffee. It can connect you to potential clients and employers. Come and listen to Carl Friesen who will present on this career development topic at our conference on June 14, 2019 in Toronto.

Minute fossils pulled from remote Arctic Canada could push back the first known appearance of fungi to about one billion years ago — more than 500 million years earlier than scientists had expected.
These ur-fungi, described on recently in Nature, are microscopic and surprisingly intricate, with filament-like structures. Chemical analyses suggest that the fossils contain chitin, a compound found in fungal cell walls.

Most of the water used by people in Egypt comes from the Nile River, which originates from precipitation over mountainous areas in the Ethiopian highlands. In areas far from the Nile River Valley, however, where water is scarce and the population is growing, groundwater is the only available freshwater resource. Knowing how much water is available in the groundwater aquifers and how fast it is being replenished is vital for providing the population with water for drinking and irrigation. Determining the age of water sources helps in those calculations.

Thousands of people are expected to roll through the upcoming Canadian Mining Expo.
The Big Event is returning to the McIntyre Community Centre in Timmins June 5 and 6, and will feature more than 400 displays. "The event has grown so large you can't get a motel here in Timmins or a hotel, and you can't get a motel or hotel in Cochrane, so it's getting very, very large. And it's a good thing," said Glenn Dredhart, president and CEO at Canadian Trade-Ex, which hosts the show.

Work on a series of water infrastructure projects to better protect Kitchener, ON, from potential flooding are getting underway in the city west of Toronto.
The federal government announced just shy of $50 million in funding for the slew of construction jobs, adding to $72 million pledged by the local government.
The Grand River snakes through Kitchener producing an inherent risk of flooding, but the latest stormwater upgrades aim to reduce the number of people at highest risk by about 75 per cent.

A startling discovery has the potential to change diamond exploration in Canada and around the world.
Research by geologists from the University of Alberta and De Beers Group, the world's largest diamond company, showed that "economic" diamond deposits can come from lherzolitic diamond substrates, a common rock type in Earth's mantle, which until now had only been peripherally associated with diamond formation.
