- Battery-powered electric vehicles are set to be a significant demand driver for silver in coming years
- The expected increase in annual silver demand from the electric vehicle sector over the next four years is estimated to equal 10% of 2021's global silver production
- Excellon Resources is currently executing ongoing precious metals projects in Mexico, Idaho and Germany
- The company recently revealed that its Mexican operations resulted in a 37% YoY increase in silver production as of the fourth quarter of 2020
Fifty grams is slightly more than the weight of an average golf ball, yet it also represents the estimated silver content contained within a battery electric vehicle ("BEV") (https://ibn.fm/IzGx9). Silver has historically enjoyed widespread usage within the automotive sector, a reflection of its superior electrical conductivity properties, excellent oxide resistance and durability under harsh operating environments. With electric vehicles rapidly rising as a proportion of global automotive sales, the sector is transforming into a powerful demand center for silver, with The Silver Institute forecasting that the automotive industry will absorb nearly 90 million ounces of silver annually by 2025, a significant increase from this year's anticipated demand of 61 million ounces (1,900t). To put that figure into context, the expected annual demand from the electric vehicle sector is expected to increase over the next four years to over 10 percent of annual global silver production, based on 2021 projections (https://ibn.fm/ZuQCf). The surge in demand should be particularly advantageous for companies such as Excellon Resources (TSX: EXN) (NYSE American: EXN) (FSE: E4X2), a silver and base metals producer with precious metal projects in Mexico, Idaho and Germany.
Silver's unique properties make it difficult to replace across a wide and growing array of automotive applications; furthermore, and unlike platinum group metals, the use of silver is not concentrated within a single automotive component like a catalytic converter. Rather, silver components can be found across a myriad of vehicular applications, including reversing cameras, automotive lenses, and fuel management systems, making the precious metal relatively harder to substitute. A recent study carried out by The Silver Institute has estimated the average internal combustion engine ("ICE") vehicle to consume 15-28 grams (0.5-0.9 ounces) of silver, a figure which would increase to 18-34 grams for hybrid vehicles and to 25-50 grams for the average BEV. Notably, that figure does not take into account ancillary services which also require the use of silver, such as the construction of charging stations and charging points for electric vehicles.
While silver's longer-term demand outlook looks bright, driven by surging demand from electric vehicle manufacturers as well as from the solar/photovoltaic industry where silver is a key component utilized in the manufacture of solar cells, sustained growth in silver mine production will necessitate further investment to bring earlier stage projects into production, thereby offsetting losses from reserve depletion and grade decline.
Excellon Resources is currently working towards developing a precious metals growth pipeline across a myriad of geographies, including: Platosa, Mexico's highest-grade silver mine since production commenced in 2005; Kilgore, a high-quality gold development project in Idaho boasting strong economics and significant growth and discovery potential; and an option on Silver City, a high-grade epithermal silver district in Saxony, Germany. Excellon has seen particularly promising results from its Platosa Mine located in Durango, Mexico. Over the course of 2020, the company revealed that its Mexican-based mining operations had resulted in a 37 percent year-over-year increase in silver production, with lead output rising by 32 percent and zine production growing by 19 percent (https://ibn.fm/kQwN4).
Excellon has also updated the market in April 2021 of the results of further underground expansion and exploration drilling at the Platosa Mine, which resulted in the discovery of additional high-grade silver deposits. As per the company's announcement, further definition and expansion of the Guadalupe North, 623, NE-1 and NE-1S mantos, with results from underground drilling including:
- 1,293 g/t silver equivalent ("AgEq") over 6.5 metres (618 g/t Ag, 10.1% Pb and 12.0% Zn) in EX21UG565;
- 1,571 g/t AgEq over 4.6 metres (688 g/t Ag, 14.5% Pb and 14.9% Zn) in EX21UG564; and
- 1,031 g/t AgEq over 4.6 metres (359 g/t Ag, 4.9% Pb and 15.9% Zn) in EX20UG522A, including 1,531 g/t AgEq over 1.3 metres (573 g/t Ag, 8.6% Pb and 21.5% Zn).
With rising environmental awareness and a growing transition away from fossil fuels set to drive further growth of both the electric vehicle and photovoltaic sectors, silver demand and price momentum are expected to continue their ongoing rise in the coming future. Through its various projects and ongoing production momentum, Excellon Resources looks well positioned to capitalize on the precious metal's renaissance.

Let's face it. This week has just been one of those weeks, and it's not over yet. A little silly break is in order:
There, I fell better now.
Consider this a Thursday open thread. I haven't had an open thread in a while, and when things get busy enough it's a time-honored way of filling blog time...

The Bible Answer Man, of all people, wrote about a kid who was paralyzed since birth. He turned away from the family church because people at that church would tell him... get this... they would tell him that he was going to hell because he didn't have enough faith to get up and walk.(The story went on to point out all the misrepresentations by Hinn and others of what it means to be "healed". I won't bore you with the details.)
That's what these faith "healers" do. If Benny Hinn came up to me and waved his hand, I'd laugh. I would also probably barely make it out alive. That's what they do. They make you so afraid to stand out (threatening you with hell) that you have to admit they healed you.
Joke is on them, though. They're the ones definitely asking for hell with their idiotic behavior. I just wish they didn't drag down so many people with them...

Well, since it's an open thread I'll talk a bit about the mind-boggeling mixing of real medicine and quack that is so prominent in my home-country Germany.
Today I accompanied my mum to our GP. We're in a spot of serious trouble at the moment and so I came with her.
Waiting for our appointment, I looked at the list of treatments they offer and about half of them is quack. Homeopathy, acupuncture, naturopathy, you name it, they do it. I'm not totally unsympathetic. The quack has to be paid privately and the real medicine is badly paid by health insurance (they get kind of flat rates for every patient, no matter whether they treat a cold or something serious), but, well, it made me wonder: do they believe in the stuff themselves? Or do they consciously cheat their patients?
She's a really great doctor and really cares, she called me back last night at half six and I have never heard of her trying to treat anything serious with quack...
I'm really not getting it.

While I appreciate the humor, its tempered by my experience with Hinn. He did his vulture routine with my mother as she was dying of ALS. She never went to his "show", but he still managed to extract a good deal of money from her through his minions as she sat in front of the TV waiting for her "miracle cure".
Then for the next two years after she died, his money-grubbing letters followed me around the country ("Your blessed prayer thread [a ratty piece of yarn] enclosed" - send us money...).
He's a vile piece of human waste.

@ mad the swine
do people actually fall down when Hinn waves his hand at them
Worse, they actually start falling before he waves at them (like the redshirt past 0:50), anticipating to be subdued by the Force.
Not to mention the ones who are so afraid that they have to be pushed toward him by two good Samaritans (who got a good backsplash of his power; it's obviously a cone effect). And he generally gives the helpers a generous second helping (collateral damage healing?).
These guys would be thrown out of a LARP club for overdoing it.
Note for future reference: all the people concussed in this video are men, contrary to popular belief about hysterics being a woman thingy.

Thought I'd share my two cents. Back in college, I flirted briefly with the fundie mindset (I got better). One day, a friend invited me to a revival. Imagine yourself in a large hall with a whole bunch of like-minded believers. There's a charismatic speaker that gets everyone's energy flowing, lively music and so on. The crowd basically gets worked into an emotional frenzy, and a sort of group hypnosis sets in. The speaker invites people up for a "blessing". Now, in this setting, the typical thing is that when god's blessing hits you, you fall down. It's a grand play, where everyone has their part. You're into it, invested emotionally. You go up, the speaker places his hand on your forehead and, boom, down you go. You aren't even aware that you are acting; that's how involved you are. And everyone else's expectations reinforce that behavior: you get lots of positive attention if you have a powerful reaction, and concern and disapproval if you don't.
The whole thing is very, very surreal. When I went up for a "blessing" I was sure that I wouldn't drop. I didn't consciously buy into the whole thing and thought that it was just people hamming it up, but no sooner did the hand touch my head than down I went. I lay on the floor for a bit, with tingles shooting all through my body. I'm sure there was probably some flood of pleasure-inducing chemicals in my brain.
So, yeah, it can happen, but only when the recipient of the "power" believes and on some level agrees to play along.

Open thread time! I was wanting to post this but didn't really know where to put it :)
I had a weird dream two nights ago. I was in the audience of the Oprah show when she came to Australia, and somehow I got talking to the person next to me about vaccinations. I asked him if he read any Science blogs, and he said no, so I recommended that he read Respectful Insolence.
Suddenly, Steven Novella comes out of nowhere, says "Orac is such a geek", and disappears. The dream then ended.
I didn't make this dream up! It was crazy.

I recall tuning this guy's show in by accident for exactly the reason JohnV @ 2 suggests. it was in the grid guide as Benny Hinn Show and I thought (wanted to see) Benny Hill.
Benny Hill was a great guy, and a burlesque comic of the old school.
As for Benny Hinn. . . he's also one of a long tradition.
But instead of slightly bawdy music hall comedy, it's a tradition of hucksterism. A tradition like the fictional Elmer Gantry. A thing to be despised. stealing money from the hands of the poor and ignorant.
By the way, James Randi has extensively debunked this guy and others like him. It's worth looking up on his site.

A few years ago the CBC show The Fifth Estate aired a program about Hinn. I figure a few people might be interested in it. Luckily you can see the entire program online. From what I remember it was worth watching though it has been a few years since I last viewed it.

Thanks for sharing that, Todd. People who haven't experienced it for themselves may not realize just how powerful a hold a good speaker can move a crowd, and how easy it is for someone to get caught up in that emotion and act in a way they'd not have predicted.

The Lord Jesus Christ said that many will imitate Him, even supposedly performing miracles in His Name, yet He will tell them, "I never knew you." He also said that whatsoever a man sows, that and only that shall he reap in this lifetime, to the hundredfold return. It is the faith of the believer in the Name of Jesus that brings healing; those who have received their healing through Benny Hinn or Oral Roberts or the local drunk who had a moment of spiritual awakening did not receive it from anyone else but God. Those who go for the "name brand" or "the show" or "the experience" fool no one but themselves.
God is not interested in what seems to be; He is interested in your heart, in having a personal relationship with you through Jesus Christ, the Savior of all mankind. As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I have been so privileged to see people set free from strongholds, delivered from demonic influence, healed of sickness and disease as I followed the command to go into all the world and do so.
I learned first from the Scripture, then from sound teachers and preachers, and then from hands-on application. Truly Jesus spoke that His Kingdom is not of this earth; our natural senses cannot comprehend it. But the born again spirit can learn to comprehend it and as instructed in what is called The Lord's Prayer, establish His will on eart as it is in heaven.
Be careful whom you mock.

Colleen, we are mocking a person who uses faith like yours to fleece people out of real money and causes real harm. Did you notice the tragedy perpetrated by Benny Hinn's fraud in the comment by Yojimbo above, which says "Then for the next two years after she died, his money-grubbing letters followed me around the country"?
Do you actually condone the taking of money from sick people, Colleen? Is it okay because Hinn evokes the name of Jesus Christ? Because, to me, it makes him even more evil.
- Log in to post comments
The root of the problem is that too many ppl are taken in by the "show". I do not condone what you are referring to; I can tell you that early on in my faith journey I learned much about the principle of sowing and reaping...I have given into ministries based on the promises, the images, the charisma, and learned the hard way that when I give, I must seek the Lord for how much and where to. Then, my giving is between me and Him; consider how many people have received gifts from friends and just tossed them aside. The reciever is under no obligation to the giver to respect the gift, if it truly is a gift. Gift have no strings.
And here you go again, judging someone you do not know. By the grace of God, I have never fleeced another person, yet you accuse me of it. Are you familiar with Ananias and Sapphira? They are very real people to me; they each dropped dead for attempting to deceive the Lord. That very much helps me to keep my heart pure.
Would you put a price on a woman tortured by demons for many years being set free because she believed in the Name of Jesus? The price had already been paid in the Blood of Gode on the Cross.
Would you put a price on a young mother seeing the child that the doctors said would be dead of cancer in weeks celebrating that child's 20th birthday?
My faith has caused no one any harm, nor has it demanded any retribution other than a thankful heart directed toward the One who healed them.
Only a fool would argue with the point you make, for it can be illustrated time and time again. Yet, the number of people who have received from the healing hand of God in their lives would prove that faith, when carefully placed in the Lord God, will always prove God at His Word.
Chris, I make no argument with you other than to tread lightly when mocking those who operate in the operations of the Spirit of God. A A Allen was a drop down drunk, yet when under the anointing of God, thousands were healed. Kathryn Kuhlman had her quirky life, but under the anointing of God, thousands were healed.
I would ask you to go to scripture for your facts, and leave each heart to its own pursuit of Truth. smiles

Well, I do not know how to know when posts are made to this, so I bid you adieu. Bottom line, folks, is what do you believe about Jesus Christ? The Scripture says that if you believe that He is the Son of God, that He became a human being to die for your sins and was raised from the dead, and that in Him you have your place in heaven, then you are saved from eternal separation from God Almighty. The only other choice is eternal separation. Jesus divided time; He divided religion from relationship; and He continues to divide believers from unbelievers. He is the Truth, the Way, and the Life, and no one can come into God's Presence except through Him.
Each person who takes up the Cross will answer to God for what he did with it. I cannot answer for you, and no one can answer for me. That is why faith depends on the Truth of God's Word, which can never lie.
Be blessed, all. I think my email address in on this if you would care to contact me. smiles

Excuse me? Is your name "Hinn"? I specifically said " Is it okay because Hinn evokes the name of Jesus Christ?"
I was referring to Hinn. You know, the guy in the video who pretends to cure people in while shouting about your god. How does that accuse you of fleecing people?
I asked if you condoned it, which you do not. I believe that if you wish to be a good Christian, that you should be condemning the actions of Hinn. See, I used his name again, do you understand now who the mockery is being directed towards --- it is not your religion. Hinn is the one making a mockery of your faith!
I seriously hope that you are not homeschooling any children with your level of reading comprehension.

Was the rest of the quote.
I'm not very religous myself, But I'd imagine that even if I was I'd be pretty pissed off about people abusing my faith to get money out of people. Actually I'd probably even more pissed off than I am now.
It's also fairly well documented that he rarely ever actually heals somebody.

Collen, you must read the whole sentence, just like Maleman noted. I could tell you that you took a phrase out of context, making it a lie of omission. But you would probably re-interpret that to me calling you a "liar." No, you were just blinded by your bias, and would see just what you wanted to see.
You should fight against charlatans like Benny Hinn that are mocking faith, and fleecing people out of money.

Ah, Colleen of the Ever-Moving Goalposts -- try and explain away this:
- Log in to post comments
My point simply was that my faith was equate to his faith; that,by implication, includes me in the subject.
There is no point to arguing, however, until one has made a decision about Jesus. Until then, all arguments will simply antagonize the arguers. Gave that up long ago.
I neither condone nor condemn any man, be he Hitler or Hinn. Take that comparison where you may; God is no respecter of persons. One either believes, or does not. There is no middle ground.
To clarify something, though; no man ever heals another. The Lord may use one to heal another, but the glory is God's alone.
I doubt that you called me a liar; no offense was taken. I think part of what disturbs me is that it is so easy to blanketly judge from appearances. Always a big mistake.
There is the story of the man traveling on a train with his three young children, each of whom was running around the train, yelling, hitting other passengers' newspapers. It appeared that he was a most inattentive father to three wild children. When one passenger took it upon himself to tell the man off and ask why he did not control his kids, the man looked into his eyes as if awakened from deep thought.
I am so sorry, he said. We just left the hospital; my wife just died.
I am curious, though, at why you are so angry at God. What disappointment or disillusionment does it seem He has caused you? I am not looking to be anything other than understanding. I was once rather angry at Him.

He stands judged by God, as each of us. His actions, yes, I would condemn; the man, without Christ, he was as hopeless as any other.
John 16 states that the Holy Spirit has been sent for three reasons:
And when he [the Holy Spirit] is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me; [this is the only sin for which a man stands condemned by God; the acts that we call "sins" are subject to repentance and forgiveness]
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; [Jesus has shown us what it is to be righteous, to be without sin; there is no other example]
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. [speaking of the devil, who is the prince of this world. His actions have been condemned, and those who refuse to believe in Jesus, the first reason the Spirit has come to us, default to believing in the devil, and that is the sin for which a man stands judged]
I realize that without a scriptural background, that may mean little to you; nonetheless, that is what the Word of God declares.
Always one must be pointed to Jesus; what do you believe about Him? What do you actually know about Him? He is the dividing line, no matter what the situation.
This could become a productive conversation.
Kindly let me know what is your personal disappointment with God, and perhaps I can help you.

My point simply was that my faith was equate to his faith; that,by implication, includes me in the subject.
I won't engage in a theological discussion about judgment with you, but please understand that the others here accusing Hinn of using faith like yours as a weapon to fleece people are in no way attacking you. Many commenters here, but not all, are Christian. Since Hinn is such a transparent charlatan, many people (religious and not) are of the opinion that his claim to faith is likely to be a lie used to fleece money from faithful people. Don't put yourself in the same boat as him simply because he outwardly claims the "same" faith as you.
There is no point to arguing, however, until one has made a decision about Jesus.
Yes, we can actually discuss things without knowing one another's religious backgrounds.
And finally, let me humbly point out that your condescending comment about being "angry at God" is rather insulting. It's not worth belaboring now, because you already say that your perspective on theological issues has changed. Perhaps you will mature a little more and understand that not everyone who criticizes any alleged Christian is angry at or disappointed in God. Like you, maybe they're just condemning his actions.

I am curious, though, at why you are so angry at God.
How does our disgust with the actions of Benny Hinn translate being angry at any God? I would ask you which "God", but this is not an article on faith and theology. Leave that out.
This is a discussion on a charlatan exploiting people of faith for money and fame, and his gyrations are more amusing with special effects. If you think that somehow that makes us evil and angry at any deity, then you should also tell Ministry Watch, which states:
Each year MinistryWatch.com produces a list of 30 Christian ministries that we believe are among the most exemplary of the many great ministries doing the Lord's work.
They also have this on the same page:
Each year MinistryWatch.com also produces a list of 30 ministries that engage in questionable practices that should cause donors to pause before giving. We refer to this list as "Donor Alerts" as these organizations have various red flag issues including: revocation of tax-exempt status, government investigations of their practices, extremely high salaries, ties to cultic practices and more.
One of those on their Alert list is Benny Hinn:
Manipulates individuals at âhealing crusadesâ for personal gain
While I do not agree with theologically with Minister Watch, I do agree that one should donate wisely. I applaud them promoting deserving ministries like Military Community Youth and World Relief (I wonder if the ministry serving military personnel stationed overseas that my brother used to work for ever qualified). I also applaud them investigating dubious organizations that try to exploit the faithful.

No retention of wild spring Chinook on mainstem Umpqua Feb. 1-June 30
ROSEBURG, Ore. – Retention of all wild spring Chinook (jacks and adults) in the mainstem Umpqua River is prohibited during the Feb. 1 – June 30, 2021 fishing season. Anglers may only keep hatchery chinook.
North Umpqua River anglers can still retain wild spring Chinook as per the 2021 aggregate bag limit regulations.
This emergency rule for mainstem wild spring Chinook was also in effect during the 2020 season to help protect a vulnerable population that returns to the South Umpqua River. Recent low returns of wild spring Chinook to the South Umpqua (120 this year, 64 in 2019, 29 in 2018) are of concern to ODFW and other partner agencies.
Over the past two decades, yearly returns averaged about 200 fish, which is below the 600 fish goal set in ODFW's Coastal Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan (page 167). One of the highest priority conservation goals in the Plan is improving the status of the South Umpqua spring Chinook salmon population. Harvest is one of several limiting factors identified for this population, and harvest in the mainstem Umpqua fishery is considered a significant risk at current abundance levels.
"With continued low returns of spring Chinook to the South Umpqua, we believe this management action is still appropriate to help this vulnerable population," said ODFW District fish biologist Greg Huchko. "It is encouraging to see the numbers increase over the past three years, but we are still well below average."
Poor ocean conditions have resulted in reduced salmon runs on most coastal rivers in recent years. Warmer water temperatures and flows lower than normal on the South Umpqua are also impacting this population.
The South Umpqua run of wild spring Chinook is a unique population that has always faced tough conditions. To survive to spawn, these fish must get above Tiller and spend the summer holding in a limited amount of deep pools where they are susceptible to predation and poaching.
Over the past several years, ODFW and partner agencies have been part of a working group identifying and addressing possible limiting factors and causes of declines for these fish. This year that group worked together to modify the South Umpqua Falls fish ladder to improve passage at lower flows. The working group also plans increased monitoring and research, greater enforcement against poaching, and evaluating and limiting predation impacts on Chinook in the upper South Umpqua.

PARADISE — Former soap opera star and local actress Teal Dougherty leads the cast of "Everybody Loves Opal" in the quirky comedy opening tonight at the Theatre on the Ridge.
The production runs through June 21 in Paradise.
Dougherty, who played the female lead for half a decade in the original 1950s crime soap "The Edge of Night," now plays the loveable, if slightly naive, Opal Kronkie.
Kronkie, "blind to anything short of total goodness," said Director Shaunna Jones, is the epitome of optimism despite living in a dump. Literally. The middle-aged hermit lives in a dilapidated mansion cornering the city landfill.
Eventually the recluse befriends some not-so-honest-folks who concoct the idea of knocking her off for financial gain. The story revolves around these new shady acquaintances, their elaborate ploys and Opal"s strange, yet happy little world.
For instance, one of her many idiosyncrasies includes toting a security-blanket-like little red wagon to collect any junk in sight.
But the die-hard optimist and collector-maniac always sees the sunnier side of life, despite her conartist colleagues" corrupt conspiracies.
Jones, whose forte is directing comedies, said John Patrick"s play is chock full of wisecracks and good humor.
Doughtery is joined by actors Courtney Hatcher (Gloria Gulock), Rich Holst (Bradford Winter), J. Patrick Rogers (Solomon Bozo), Christopher Jones (Doctor) and Teddy Spencer (Officer Joe Hanks).
"This is a dream cast," said Jones. "Everybody comes with a pedigree."
Four of the six actors were engaged in other plays right before "Opal," so the cast has worked with extra focus and energy to produce the comedy, she said.
"Everyone has (really) congealed with their character," the director said. "They are so much fun to work with," despite the long hours that have gone into the production.
Doughtery agreed.
"I am really having the time of my life," the former TV celebrity said.
As for her character, Opal, Doughtery said, "I love to play her. She"s full of joie de viver (joy of life). She"s not very educated, but in terms of the heart she"s very educated. She just thinks the best of everyone." Apparently, even crooks.
To find out exactly why "Everybody Loves Opal," call Theatre on the Ridge at 877-5760 or visit www.totr.org for more information. Tickets cost $8-$16 and are available at the theater, Fir Street Gallery & Gifts in Paradise and The Vagabond Rose in Chico.

Menteith or Monteith (Scottish Gaelic: Mòine Tèadhaich), a district of south Perthshire, Scotland, roughly comprises the territory between the Teith and the Forth. Early forms including Meneted, Maneteth and Meneteth. The area between Callander and Dunblane was historically known in English as the Vale of Menteith.
The name Menteith may be derived from the Brittonic cognate of Welsh mynydd (borrowed into Gaelic as monadh), meaning "mountain, muir",[1] combined with the obscure river-name Teith.[1]
In medieval Scotland, Menteith formed a stewartry and later an earldom, ruled by the Earls of Menteith. Gilchrist is the first known earl. In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Menteth (sic) is one of the "noblemen of Scotland", appearing in Act V, allied with Malcolm and others to oppose Macbeth's usurpation.
The lands and the earldom passed to Walter Comyn (d. 1258) in right of his wife Isabella, and then through Isabella's sister Mary to Stewarts, and finally to the Grahams, becoming extinct in 1694.[2]. The earlier introduction of Sheriffs to Scotland provided a ready-made alternative authority, so the extinction of the earldom did not create a lack of jurisdiction in the area; Menteith was covered by the sheriffdom based at Perth.
In the mid 19th century, local government reforms replaced the ancient provinces by new Counties (shires), aligned to sheriffdom boundaries; hence, Menteith became the south-western portion of the new Perthshire.
Lake of Menteith
The Loch or Lake of Menteith, situated 2 1⁄2 mi (4.0 km) south of Loch Venachar, measures 1 1⁄2 mi (2.4 km) long by 1 mi (1.6 km) broad, and contains three islands. On Inchmahome (Innis MoCholmaig, island of St Colmaig) stand the ruins of Inchmahome Priory, an Augustinian priory founded in 1238 by Walter Comyn, and built in the Early English style, with an ornate western doorway. Mary, Queen of Scots, when a child of four, lived on the island for a few weeks before her departure to Dumbarton Castle, and on to France in 1548. On Inch Talla stands the ruined tower of the earls of Menteith, dating from 1428. The village of Port of Menteith stands on the north shore of the loch.[2]

After the launch of the Yvonne Koné collection on Coggles, we wanted to explore the processes behind the beautiful leather selected for each piece. Located in Tuscany, the leather is hand crafted from start to finish by skilled leather artisans.
The colours selected by Yvonne are inspired by the raw leather and imperfections of the material, each piece of leather is packed with personality and characteristics, instead of hiding these, they are embraced with every piece entirely unique.
Determined to ensure the accessories are of the highest quality, the factory employs a fair labour and sustainable environmental practice. The same amount of care taken in the designing process is extended to the people who make the finished products.
Yvonne is involved in the process from start to finish, from the initial design sketches to overseeing the production process to secure the highest quality pieces possible.
Take a look at images captured during the manufacturing process…

Gelato differs from ice-cream in the fat content – ice cream is usually made with cream, while gelato is milk-based. The trick to this silky smooth gelato is to add some liquid glucose – this lowers the freezing point so it doesn't freeze rock solid. For more summer desserts, check out our ice cream cake recipes, condensed milk recipes, yogurt recipes and sorbet recipes. We've also got plenty more seasonal inspiration in our collection of summer recipes. Churn the mixture in an ice-cream machine, then transfer to a plastic container and put into the freezer until needed.

Advancing multi-state licensing is vital in the age of telehealth
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed increasing pressure on healthcare professionals over the past 2 years. As the virus mutates and variants emerge, demands for COVID-19 drug treatment and vaccinations have increased, resulting in an acute shortage of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
Since the start of the pandemic, patient access to care has been limited for many reasons, including canceled appointments (particularly elective procedures and preventive care visits), reductions in transportation options, and the fear of going to health care facilities.1 Healthcare providers, including technicians, quickly implemented telehealth solutions that enabled patients to receive many healthcare services without leaving their homes. Less than 1% of paid Medicare visits were made via telehealth before the COVID-19 public health emergency was declared in March 2020. A year later, more than 43% of those visits were made at the help of telehealth technologies.2
Pharmacy employees who use telehealth to serve patients in multiple states face many challenges, such as obtaining licenses to practice in each of those states. Pharmacists and technicians must retain their original licenses and must generally be licensed in the state or territory where their patients are located when an encounter occurs, regardless of where the pharmacist or technician may be. find physically.
State discrepancies in continuing education requirements, licensing exams, and license renewal periods further complicate the process. In 2020, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) House of Delegates passed a Policy on Interstate Pharmacist Licensing, which states in part that "ASHP advocates interstate pharmacist licensing to expand pharmacists' mobility and ability to practice, especially during emergencies, and to improve their ability to practice in multiple states, which is particularly important for telehealth pharmacy practice.3
In 2021, the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) evaluated Pharmacy's multi-state practice policies. The APhA House of Delegates subsequently passed policy statements that urge "state boards of pharmacy to reduce onerous administrative and financial requirements for licensing while continuing to ensure patient safety." . The statements also note that the APhA "calls for the development of a profession-wide consensus on licensing requirements for pharmacists and pharmacy personnel to support contemporary pharmacy practice."4
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act allows the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to issue a variety of statements during a public health emergency.5 APhA leaders reached out to HHS officials to advocate for the ability to facilitate multi-state licensing in emergencies where pharmacy workers in one part of the country are needed to support supply pharmacy services in other regions.
In 2019, Idaho became the first state to adopt a mutual recognition pathway for pharmacist licensing. Pharmacists licensed in a state that enters into a Mutual Recognition Agreement with the Idaho Board of Pharmacy do not need to be licensed or registered in Idaho to practice pharmacy or provide pharmacy services to state residents.6 A Mutual Recognition Agreement can be entered into by other states as long as they have similar licensing requirements, require fingerprint criminal background checks, and provide the same multi-state practice privileges to Idaho certified technicians, trainees and pharmacists.6 However, as of February 2022, several states had reviewed Idaho's proposal, but none had yet entered into mutual recognition agreements, according to Jennifer Adams, PharmD, EdD, FAPhA, FNAP, associate dean for academic affairs at the 'Idaho State University College of Pharmacy in Boise. .
Other health professions have taken steps to enable licensing and practice in multiple states. In these cases, state licensing agreements provide an expedited path to licensing for providers practicing in multiple states. For example, a nursing licensing pact has been in place for over 15 years with 34 member states. For doctors, an interstate agreement on medical licensure was agreed between 29 states and became operational in 2017.
A licensing agreement for physiotherapists also started in 2017 with 21 Member States.4 These streamlined systems allow licensees to obtain licenses in other states efficiently and quickly. However, one problem with license agreements is that state licensing authorities may suffer a loss of revenue because they issue fewer licenses than they would if the agreements did not exist. This loss of income may reduce their ability to provide appropriate monitoring and services
to licensees.
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) has taken steps to enable its member boards to harmonize regulations on the practice of pharmacy and address the need for pharmacy employees to be licensed in several states, especially in an emergency. In April 2020, NABP launched the Emergency Passport Program, which allows participating states to authorize interns, pharmacists, and technicians to practice in other states on an emergency and temporary basis.7 The program allows trainees, pharmacists, and technicians practicing in another state to be effectively granted emergency or temporary licensure at no cost to participants by NABP.
Twenty states, including Idaho, have participated in the Emergency Passport Program, and as of February 2022, NABP has processed more than 62,000 applications. More than 57,000 of those applications have been approved by participating states, according to Al Carter, PharmD, RPh, executive director of NABP.
Seeing an increased need for pharmacies and pharmacy employees to provide services in all states in non-emergency situations, NABP launched the Verify program in April 2022.8 This program, which is currently only accepted by North Carolina, provides a way to verify that pharmacist applicants are in good standing in all licensing states, allowing for the issuance of a specific credential to the State.8 This credential has practice authority through a state regulatory or statutory credential and allows pharmacists to provide services such as remote medication order entry and verification in any state.
NABP will charge applicants $50 per year to participate in the program.8 The "NABP wants to establish a platform for consistent processes and procedures across all states," Carter said.
Multistate licensing of pharmacy employees and development of interstate pharmacy practice credentials can help redistribute the pharmacy workforce and prevent acute staffing shortages. National and state pharmaceutical associations can work with pharmacy employers and state regulators to remove many of the barriers that prevent pharmacy employees from providing services in multiple states.
Improving pharmacy practice in multiple states will provide many benefits, including assured continuation of care, expanded access to care for patients in rural areas or living on state borders, faster speed for transfer and reciprocity of pharmacist licenses, increased access to drugs, lower cost for patients. pharmacy professionals who hold licenses in multiple states, and a reduced burden on pharmacies and pharmacist professionals.

However, this was not the case in January 2021 when MG Hector/Hector Plus saw sales of 3,426 units, while Tata Harrier and Safari sales were lower at 2,210 units. MoM sales have seen Harrier and Safari ahead at 3,715 units in December 2021 over 1,215 units of the MG Hector/Hector Plus. Total sales of these four competitors stood at 5,951 units in January 2022, up 20.71 percent over 4,930 units sold in December 2021 and up 5.59 percent YoY over 5,636 units sold in January 2021.
Tata Safari was the 5th best seller in this segment in January 2022 with 1,210 units sold, down 18.30 percent MoM over 1,481 units sold in December 2021. Safari sales cannot be compared on a YoY basis as its second gen model was launched in February 2021. Jeep Compass was 6th in the list with 861 units sold.

Pool Heater Maintenance
Heating & Air Conditioning review in Oakville
I've used Khurram twice now. Last summer I hired him to troubleshoot a pool heater that wouldn't start. He went through a number of troubleshooting steps, and allowed me to watch. He researched repair options and costs, and we jointly decided a repair would be too expensive. This year I brought him back to disconnect the heater. He's punctual, courteous and friendly. Both times he was able to come on short notice. Would definitely hire him again.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $90.00

What steps should the Legislature take to ensure New Mexico has a balanced budget amid falling oil prices and an economic downturn prompted by the coronavirus outbreak?
Each area of spending needs to be reviewed to determine where decreases are appropriate. Across the board cuts are irresponsible. Simultaneously, new funding sources need to be found without raising taxes on the poor or middle class. Cooperation among state, federal, county, and local governments is essential.
What more, if anything, should the Legislature do to address a court ruling that found New Mexico is failing to provide a sufficient education to all students?
Children are our future. Let's ensure good education and care begins early. This means engaging the parents right after a child's birth, providing universal preschool, and creating a robust public education system focused on the basics and STEAM. Teachers, parents, and students need to be included in the decision-making processes.
What changes, if any, should New Mexico make to its gross receipts tax code?
The NM GRT might need a major overhaul or replaced altogether with a different state revenue system. We will have new leadership in the Senate Finances committee next year. We need to end many loopholes, as well as double and triple taxation to ensure NM's tax system is more equitable.
Do you support or oppose legalizing recreational marijuana use in New Mexico and taxing its sales?
Legalizing marijuana for recreational use for "economic reasons" raises many other issues. With so much alcohol abuse in our state already, I would take a clear and honest look at Colorado's experiences before considering. Unless the country legalizes it, our current situation, approved for medical use, seems to be working.
Do you believe changes should be made to the emergency powers held by a governor during a pandemic or other time of crisis. If so, do you believe such powers should be expanded or reduced and in what specific ways?
No, our governor did an excellent job creating private-public coalitions, a universal COVID-19 healthcare system, and evidenced-based mandates. When everyone followed the mandates, shared, donated, and contributed across racial, ethnic, political and socio-economic boundaries we, New Mexicans, met and defeated an insidious enemy virus. NM became an island of hope.
Do you support or oppose repealing a long-dormant 1969 state law that outlaws abortion, except in limited circumstances?
Having had two miscarriages, the word, "abortion," saddens me. I see it often used as a trigger to distract from more pressing issues. Even though it is personal and requires great thought and prayer to decide, we should at least match the federal laws on this matter.
Do you support or oppose enacting a new state law that would allow police officers and other public officials to be sued individually by abolishing the defense of qualified immunity?
Our leaders and public defenders need to be held to the same letter of the law as the citizens they are here to protect and serve. Once the line is crossed, where will it stop? Lawlessness, oligarchy, and rule by force. Do we have legislator immunity in the Constitution?
In recent years, New Mexico has steadily increased spending on early childhood programs, such as home visiting, prekindergarten and child care assistance, and created a new early childhood trust fund. Do you support or oppose a constitutional amendment that would withdraw more money from the Land Grant Permanent Fund to increase funding for early childhood services?
I support an amendment to permit use of Land Grant Funds for early childhood services. Our lands, children's health, and future were sacrificed to build that fund. It should be used for the future. The future is our children and a clean energy economy. Invest with the end in mind.
What changes, if any, should New Mexico make to its election laws and primary system? Do you support or oppose opening the state's primary elections to voters who aren't affiliated with either major political party?
Our current election laws and primary system work, but our Secretary of State is in a better position to make recommendations. As to opening up the primaries, I would rather see ranked choice voting in the general election.
Would you support a merit-based evaluation system to determine how the state spends its capital outlay funding? Should each legislator be required to disclose which projects he or she funded?
Yes, and yes.
New Mexico is highly reliant on the oil and natural gas industries to generate revenue to fund state programs, as evidenced by recent oil boom and bust cycles. What steps should the state take to diversify its economy and revenue base?
Would you support or oppose a moratorium on fracking? And should the state impose additional renewable energy mandates as a way to address climate change concerns?
This issue is complicated since it significantly impacts NM's economy. However, considering the poor financial, worker safety, and environmental conditions surrounding the current fracking industry, a "pause and reflect" is highly appropriate. Let's work on reducing fossil fuel emissions from transportation and heating, as well, for a big impact.
What steps should the Legislature take to address crime and improve public safety?
A combination of funding and responsibility. Our state, county, and local law enforcement departments need to be fully funded, including collaborative technology. And they must also be accountable. Better training, more community policing and stringent oversight will increase public safety and benefit residents and law enforcement officers.
Do you support or oppose the public's right to inspect footage taken by cameras worn by law enforcement officers? Under what circumstances, if any, should police video be withheld from the public?
We need to consult our judicial arm here. Trial lawyers, judges, and DAs would understand the ramifications better. At minimum, restrictions should apply where minors are involved, the identity of a sexual assault victim would be revealed, and if it puts witnesses at risk of reprisal.
Members of New Mexico's business community contend some state laws and regulations need changing so the state can better compete with Texas and Arizona when it comes to attracting companies. What steps do you believe should be taken to improve New Mexico's economic competitiveness?
As a small business owner, I can relate. Businesses stay for various reasons, including a ready workforce, good schools, safe neighborhoods, good health care, and balanced lifestyle. NM needs to improve its infrastructure, including roads and broadband, its government processes, and the collaboration among these stakeholders, especially labor and business owners.
Personal background
1. Have you or your business, if you are a business owner, ever been the subject of any state or federal tax liens?
2. Have you ever been involved in a personal or business bankruptcy proceeding?
3. Have you ever been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of drunken driving, any misdemeanor or any felony in New Mexico or any other state? If so, explain.

Arseblog - the Arsecasts, Arsenal podcasts
Arsecast Extra Episode 439 - 24.10.2021
In this episode we look back at the very enjoyable 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Friday night, and a performance which had everything that was missing from the previous game. We discuss the changes to the line-up, the impact of Alexandre Lacazette, the dominance of the first half and how we maintained it, Thomas Partey's first Arsenal goal, the penalty, a brilliant display from Emile Smith Rowe which was capped with a goal, and just how much there was to like about what we did and how we did it. We then take listener questions about a new deal for Laca, defensive solidity, Gabriel's season so far, the team standing up for each other, Nuno Tavares, the development of the goalkeeping position and lots more.

Hungary's public media group MTVA is launching a new sport channel M4 Sport on 18 July. With the new sport channel, the media group aims at presenting events linked to the 16 branches of sport that receive higher than average central support in Hungary, telesport.hu reported.
The sport channel will broadcast 10 hours of live television programmes daily. In Hungary, M4 Sport enjoys the exclusive broadcasting rights for various sport events including the Formula 1, the 2015 World Aquatics Championships, and the UEFA Champions League.
"From 18th of July, we will be launching a new channel, named M4 Sport, which will be a must credit channel for every service provider, therefore it will be available for everyone," said MTVA CEO Zsolt Laszlo Szabo. "M4 Sport will mainly focus on Hungarian sport events, but two popular international sport competitions, namely the Formula 1 and the UEFA Champions League, will also be broadcasted through it," he added.
Of course, other international sport events of the following year, such as the UEFA Euro 2016 or the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, could also be watched on M4 Sport.

The Bayou Classic, holding its 48th consecutive contest Nov 27, 4:00 p.m., at New Orleans' Caesars Superdome, is considered by most as the "Granddaddy" of all the prominent HBCU football classics.
It has held the consistent distinction of being the most popular, largest drawing and biggest revenue producing HBCU sporting event that celebrates the Black experience.
The game yearly pits two prominent SWAC teams, the Grambling State Tigers and the Southern University Jaguars. Historically, the two schools combined holds the most SWAC football titles (Grambling 25, Southern 19) and Black National championships (Grambling 15, Southern 11) and has represented the SWAC in 13 of the 15 post-season bowl games such as the Pelican, Heritage and Celebration Bowls.
Southern holds a slim 24-23 edge over Grambling in the Classic series.
The Bayou Classic represents a marriage made in heaven when the idea was generated of bringing the two powerhouse Louisiana HBCU football teams to Black culturally rich New Orleans.
They played the first year of the classic at Tulane Stadium in 1974. When the Louisiana Superdome opened the next year, the Bayou Classic moved there and has never looked back.
Natural disasters caused the only two exceptions the Classic was not played in New Orleans. In 2005, three months after the ravaging effects of Hurricane Katrina severely damaged the Superdome, the Classic was played in Houston.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the postponement and rescheduling of the Bayou Classic to April 2021, where it was played at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, Louisiana, because the Superdome was committed to another event.
The Bayou Classic game regularly features many of the best football players HBCU has to offer. But Black college's most prolific head coaches have graced the sidelines at the Bayou Classic during the series.
The iconic Eddie Robinson guided Grambling State through the series until his retirement after the 1997 season. He was replaced by one of his former players and Super Bowl XXII hero Doug Williams who coached the team from 1998-2003 and 2011-2013.
On the Southern sidelines, Pete Richardson ruled for 17 seasons (1993-2009) with Marino Casem (1987-1988, 1992) and Dawson Odums (2013-2020) also guiding the Jaguars.
The overall success of both the Grambling and Southern football programs have been one major factor in the Bayou Classic's prestigious stature in the HBCU community. Other elements however have heavily contributed.
The game and surrounding events have long attracted the appearance of countless Black celebrities in the genres of athletes, entertainers, civil rights leaders, corporate and business leaders and elected officials.
The Classic also soaks in the deep and unapologetic Afrocentric culture deeply entrenched in the city of New Orleans.
And what would a HBCU football classic be without electrifying performances from each of the school's marching bands, Grambling State's Tiger Marching Band and Southern's Human Jukebox, both fighting for bragging rights of their own in the Battle of the Bands?
Economically, the Bayou Classic attracts over 250,000 people overall and pumps upwards of $50 Million into the New Orleans district.
In the name of advanced technology, it was just announced that this Bayou Classic will also be the first game to feature in-game coach to player electronic communication, with the use of players' helmets. The NCAA Football Rules Committee approved the waiver for the game this Saturday.
Events and activities are held from Thanksgiving Thursday to Saturday, when the game is preceded by the Bayou Classic Parade going through the streets of downtown New Orleans.

When you are putting money toward your health, your future and your family's happiness, you'll want to make sure you're making the best decision for your Strathcona alcohol and drug addiction rehabilitation clinic. While the smartest thing to do may still be to dial our hotline advisors so they can discuss your specific needs, reading the ratings and reviews for some of the addiction treatment programs in or around you is another good way to get started.
If you've decided on what amenities you'll want, you can find Strathcona inpatient treatment centers that suit nearly any requirement. From executive treatment for businesspeople to celebrity recovery programs, your city offers many choices, both low-cost and top tier.
Depending on the addiction type and intensity, you or someone you love may require anything from a one month residential drug or alcohol treatment center all the way up to a 120-day or longer one. Certain drugs can be treated with short-term out-patient programs while severe cases may necessitate longer-term treatment center care. However, you can find a Strathcona treatment center to fit just about any requirement.
In determining the price of recovery services in Strathcona, MN, you first have to consider the amenities the center offers and its location in comparison to your own requirements. The prices vary quite a bit for rehab programs. Many can take private insurance, so either check with your provider to see if the price will be partially paid for through your PPO or HMO, or contact our helpline, at no charge for a discreet insurance check.
Whether you need help getting clear of an addiction or live with a husband or wife who does, our helpline is ready to take your call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is answered by friendly advisors, there to discuss the best in-patient prescription and illicit drug abuse treatment programs Strathcona, Minnesota offers. You can review the ins and outs of 1-month addiction recovery programs versus sixty or ninety day ones and make sure the treatment center you find is going to give you everything you need to get clean and sober.
There is no obligation to enter treatment and you can opt out at any time.

Red Guard Comics
The early years of the Cultural Revolution saw almost no official publications of new comics. While during the 1950s several hundreds of new titles were published every year, this number went down dramatically and came to an almost complete standstill after 1966. It began picking up only since after 1970, when at first a good 100 and soon several hundreds of new titles appeared every year (Hwang 1978; Seifert 2001; Seifert 2008).
While the comic presses did not publish much officially, then, in the first half of the Cultural Revolution, a flood of comic strips and caricatures appeared in Red Guard newspapers and pamphlets. In February of 1967, for example, the Red Guard newspaper Jinggangshan wenyi (井冈山文艺) published a parody of Sun Wukong Thrice Defeats the White-Boned Demon (ill. 6.32a, see Wagner 1990, 200-204). Here, the white-boned demon, identified with Liu Shaoqi who was criticized as the "Chinese Krushchev" in the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, is defeated not just three but four times (孙悟空四打白骨精). The Red Guard comic chooses a traditional theme, making it an "old comic" and thus not quite in line with the straightjacket. But it does so in order to attack revisionism, a strategy which was well in line with the policies of the time.
The Red Guard comic declares the white-boned demon to be the major revisionist. This is very apt, as Liu Shaoqi was indeed considered the greatest enemy in early Cultural Revolution political rhetoric. On the other hand, the comic still has Zhu Bajie appear lasciviously: with nipples and navel in full shape and form (6.32b). The comic thus openly subverts the straightjacket, and to do so in 1967 would have chained in some, bringing them into labor service. But the rules were not equally applied across the board, especially to those who called themselves "Mao's Soldiers."
And there is more to be said about this: Admittedly, in the Red Guard comic, the sun shines at the right time, with our main hero Monkey King victorious at the optimistic end (ill. 6.33c, panel 21). But the hero is still not depicted in the prominent manner he would deserve according to the rule of Three Prominences. Indeed, one could argue that it is the demon who achieves greater prominence, for in his/her different incarnations he/she actually receives more close-up shots than does Monkey King.
Moreover, the other characters, too, Zhu Bajie most prominently among them, are shown almost as many times as Monkey King, which again serves to diminish his prominence. Although Monkey King is victorious in the end and seen as a centralized or superior figure in some of his fights with the demons (ill 6.33a&c), this is not always the case in all panels. Indeed, there are several instances in which his fighting abilities do not appear superior and he is almost squeezed out of the picture by his enemy (ill. 6.33b).
Thus, even in heady 1967, undoubtedly one of the most politicized periods of the Cultural Revolution, the regulations of Cultural Revolution Culture could or would not be applied consistently. This period, which has often been characterized as one of absolute dictatorship and monolithic rule over Chinese art and culture, is rather more anarchic than is generally assumed.

Eighth-graders from Jerling Junior High School in Orland Park recently designed and built machines as part of the Fluid Power Action Challenge. Students had to create a machine that used fluid power to run a pneumatic clamp, a hydraulic lift and a rotational arm that was capable of moving a wooden cylinder from one location to another. The challenge began several weeks ago with a workshop where engineers from Deltrol Fluid Products, who sponsor the event, presented the students with information on the engineering design process. Following the workshop, students worked in groups to design and construct their own device for the competition.
