Manufacturing Day offers career exploration opportunity
Note to media: Coverage is welcome at participating manufacturers (list below) between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2. Contact Ken Scott for location details: firstname.lastname@example.com or (231) 995-2212.
TRAVERSE CITY — Two dozen local manufacturers will open their doors to 600 area middle and high school students, triple the inaugural 2014 attendance, as Traverse City marks its second annual Manufacturing Day Oct. 2.
Manufacturing Day is an annual national event designed to showcase the career opportunities modern manufacturing technology offers. Last year eight manufacturers in the Traverse City Airport Industrial Park hosted 200 students, with each student visiting three busineses. This year, students will again visit three manufacturers located on eight different bus loops in Grand Traverse and Kalkaska counties. Representing industries including automotive manufacturing, food production, precision tool and screen printing, the event is designed to showcase the diversity and opportunity of manufacturing careers to a future potential workforce.
"It shows students that there's another avenue after high school," said Dan Oberski, principal at Traverse City West High School, which will send students to the event. "It's been something that's been overlooked for so long."
Overlooked because manufacturing today is a far cry from the Industrial Revolution-era images students might see in their textbooks, of dirty, gritty, largely urban factories.
"Manufacturing Day illustrates we have some real booming, bustling businesses right here in town," Oberski said.
NMC Training Specialist Kennith Scott said engaging students is key to local manufacturers, who face the dilemma of growing markets but an aging skilled workforce.
"It's just putting energy into the problem and getting the community to see the opportunities," in skilled trades like machining, fabrication and welding, Scott said.
Northwestern Michigan College is coordinating the event in collaboration with the Grand Traverse Area Manufacturing Council. Participating manufacturers include Kennametal, RM Young Co., Clark MFG, SMI Aerospace, National Vacuum Equipment, CPM Extrusion, Tool North, Tran Tek, Forkardt, Microline, Plascon, United Engineering Tooling, Britten Studios, TentCraft, Bay Motor Products, SMI Automotive, Cone Drive, Strata Design, Cherry Capitol Foods, RJG , Kalkaska Screw, Coding Products and Hayes Manufacturing
Established in 2012, Manufacturing Day seeks to expand knowledge about and improve the general public's perception of manufacturing careers and the industry's value to the U.S. economy. The Traverse City event is one of more than 1,000 planned around the nation.

Kanye West has announced he is cancelling his weekly Friday music giveaway after tracks from his forthcoming album leaked online.
The rapper-producer has been giving away new songs each week under the banner 'Good Fridays' via his Twitter account.
However, West has informed fans there will be no free music this week (October 1) after songs from his album, expected to be out in November, have circulated online via various blogs.
Among the songs that have appeared is one featuring samples from Bon Iver and Gil Scott-Heron.
Writing on Twitter, West said he was upset by the leak, particularly because the versions circulated are not finished and he had been generous supplying music for free already.
"Due to blogs leaking unfinished songs from my actual album I've decided to pass on Good Fridays this week," he wrote this morning (September 30).
"It's messed up that one hacker can mess everything up for everyone… I love to take a year to finish my songs and deliver them to you guys in their most completed form. It would have seemed like since I give free music every week even the lowest form of human being would respect that enough not to leak unfinished songs from my real album."
Of the record itself, West told fans that he had not finalised an exact release date or album title yet despite completing it.
"I'm still contemplating my album date. I'm finished with it but when should I drop?" he asked. "I can't decide on my album title either uuuugh!!!!"
For some new music from West, his regular DJ A-Trak, Armand Van Helden and the likes of Vampire Weekend, Santigold and Pharrell Williams, check out Duck Sauce's new video 'Barbra Streisand' which sees a host of artists paying tribute to New York and, apparently, the singer.

Memphis forward picks Mizzou
In today's era of recruiting coverage, it's almost impossible to keep a decision as secret as Johnathan Williams III managed to do heading into his Thursday evening announcement.
Affectionately known to his family and friends as J3, the 6-foot-9 senior at Memphis (Tenn.) Southwind effectively hid whether or not he would choose Georgetown, Michigan State, Missouri, Tennessee or George Mason -- where his brother J2 plays and where he quietly snuck in a visit over the weekend -- prior to his announcement that was live streamed on the Rivals.com network.
When it came time to announce, the No. 48 player in the class of 2013 selected Missouri, Georgetown, Michigan State, George Mason from the hats laid out in front of him and officially became a member of Frank Haith's Tigers.
"Mizzou is a great school," said Williams III as he donned a Tigers hat.
A long and fluid forward who can handle the ball some and is a good shot blocker, Williams III is a lean athlete who runs the floor. He is a good passer for his size, will rebound in and out of his area and has a body that can easily be built upon.
Over the past year or so, Williams III has been battling injuries and because of that his play has been a bit up and down. If his health has improved and he's become more consistent, he's got the tools to make a climb in the national rankings.
A four-star prospect, Williams III joins a class that already includes Rivals150 point guards Wesley Clark and Travis Jorgenson.

It is no longer gossip that the seemingly never ending North Eastern scourge called Boko Haram may have been finally pushed to near submission even as it is obvious that the Nigerian Army under the leadership of Lt. Gen Buratai whose total commitment has led to the recorded success by the ever committed Army.
Only March 24th 2016 had the renowned and revered sect leader, Mallam Abubakar Shekau had publicly declared his surrender due to the intense offensive of the Army and the recovery of their dream republic erstwhile annexed by these secessionists.
Only about two years ago there were security reports that Shekau may have died as a result of wounds he sustained during a shoot-out with security agents. The reports suggested that he was almost captured, but his aides managed to evacuate him across the border to Cameroon.
It would be recalled that there was also a time when the media had it that he had been apprehended. Contrary to such reports the seemingly invincible Shekau resurfaced with renewed gusto and zeal to foment more trouble even as the movement grew with every regeneration.
However, worthy of mention is the ability of the Nigerian Military to end the ever regenerating powers of the once mysterious sect leader-Shekau, who for every time a statement was put out regarding his death, made it a point of duty to reassure his followers that he was still alive and that their course is a worthy one supported by God Almighty.
His medium of choice being videos that many have had to wonder if it really is the terrorist leader or his clone, ironically has become the message of disillusionment.
The recent surrender of the dreaded terrorist, attributed to the intense offensive by the military has not only changed the leadership but also necessitated a significant change in the methods. This is even as the arrest of the shadow recruitment wing of the Boko Haram terrorist group, Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh El Zakakky has significantly deflated the activities of the Nigerian subsect of Syrian ISIS which has been the major supporters of its Nigerian cell- Boko Haram.
This commendation is not complete without recognising the recent change in tactics which has announced the fear in the heart and operations of these fanatics who erstwhile had the guts and effrontery to broadcast videos with bravado exposing the face of their mystified leader, Abubakar Shekau who paraded their military might alongside threats which loquaciously flowed with accompanying braggadocios.
Today it has been announced that there is a change of leadership in the sect owing to the military's might and subsequent surrender of Shekau. The terrorist group which announced its change in an interview in IS's weekly Arabic magazine Al-Naba said the leadership for its West African branch, Boko Haram, has been adjusted.
This is even as Abu Musab Al-Barnawi, who was previously spokesman for the Nigerian-based Islamists did not say what has become of the group's former leader Abubakar Shekau. It is curious also that the video does not say what has become of the group's former leader Abubakar Shekau.
He was also heard from in an audio message last August, saying he was alive and had not been replaced – an IS video released in April said the same even as only yesterday he appeared to debunk Al-Barnawi's claim to have changed leadership.
Abu Mus'ab Al-Barnawi, who appeared in the declaration video, wore a turban but unlike it is customary with the sect, his face was blurred out and it was filmed as a sit-down studio interview; meanwhile compared to the fearless stature presented by Abubakar Shekau, his delivery in the Hausa language was considered and softly spoken, Barnawi pulled no punches.
Shekau was often filmed in the open, surrounded by fighters, loudly proclaiming his threats, victories and giving rambling ideological lectures.
This controversy is certainly not removed from the recent cowering attitude exhibited by the group due to force from the Nigerian military command since it opened base in North East, thus the now observed division in the sect leadership with Shekau surrendering and Barnawi taking shadowy control without the usual gusto cum bravado.
It has also been argued that apart from the recent fear that has been sent into the dwellings of these religious radicals, it believed that the decision to hide the face of their leader may be because of his close ties to the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, Boko Haram's recruitment agency in all their campaigns in the North East.
Meanwhile authorities have also suggested that the choice of an unknown and obscure commander was to still maintain the useful impact which the IMN has continued to make in furthering the activities of die hard Boko Haram terrorists that have refused to surrender, just as Al-Barnawi in his interview had declared further that his group "remained a force to be reckoned with" while emphasising a new membership drive, an obvious sign that they have been massively depleted by continuous military campaigns

Beirut (Agenzia Fides) - The Maronite Bishops express their concern over the imbalance that is being produced regarding access to public offices and state financial resources, with silent discrimination that see Christians penalized. The concern emerged during the last monthly meeting of the Assembly of Maronite Bishops, who met on Wednesday, February 3 at the patriarchal see in Bkerke, under the presidency of Patriarch Bechara Boutros Rai.
For years - denounce the Bishops - a silent erosion of the Christian presence in state roles is being produced, to the benefit of Shiite and Sunni components. Recently, obvious manifestations of this phenomenon took place in the hierarchy of the Ministry of Finance. At the same time, as documented by recent journalistic investigations, only 27 percent of projects recently implemented by the Ministry for public works have affected areas inhabited by the Christian population.
The Maronite Bishops see a serious pitfall for national coexistence in this phenomenon and invite politicians and institutions to abide by Article 95 of the Constitution, where it is written that different religious communities must be "equally represented" in the public administration" . In recent days, similar concerns were expressed also by Greek-Melkite Church.
In the statement released at the end of the Maronite Synodal Assembly, sent to Agenzia Fides, the Maronite Bishops also see the rapprochement of Maronite political forces, such as the Lebanese Forces and the Free Patriotic Movement (see Fides 19/01/2016 ) as a positive sign, expressing the hope that this process favors the end of the institutional paralysis in which the Country has been struggling since May 2014, and will eventually be able to elect a new President. (GV) (Agenzia Fides 05/02/2016)

Even before we started out with the FOEX Plugin Framework, we created a browser addon to improve the APEX Application Builder. Making things better and easier to use is the core of everything we do.
A long time ago we noticed that the APEX Application Builder was missing some features, so we added them through a browser addon. Back then, this was called the ApexLib APEX Developer Addon and added features like Code Syntax Highlighting, Keyboard Shortcuts, an improved Search Box, and much more to APEX starting with Version 4.0
In 2012, when we first released the FOEX Plugin Framework, we added more FOEX specific functionality and released the browser addon as the FOEX Developer Addon, or FDA in short. Those new features are mainly (one step) wizards to create new FOEX pages or FOEX regions, and an optimization of the way some settings are displayed in the Application Builder.
Then APEX 5.0 came along and we found some things to improve there as well, all in the one browser addon. It finds out which APEX version and which FOEX version (if any) it runs, and enables/disables features accordingly. See some examples:
With APEX 5 we also started to provide special keyboard shortcuts. In the example below we open the help screen simply by typing the word "help". Then, we change to List of Values by typing "glo" and finally to APEX Lists with "gli". All those shortcuts work anywhere, as long as the cursor is not inside an input field, which you can exit by hitting Esc.
Now if the FOEX Developer Addon detects you are in an application equipped with the FOEX plugins, you get some additional features and buttons on the screen:
We also love APEX so much, we put a bug in it, to make debugging a page easier 🙂
Hope to sparked a bit of interest, now head over to https://www.foex.at/foex-developer-addon and get the addon for Google Chrome or Firefox.
We are going to add more and more interesting features, not only for our FOEX Plugins, but for all types of APEX applications, so stay tuned!

I became hooked on caffeine in junior high. One summer, I realized that without a morning glass of tea, I would have a headache by mid-morning. Yesterday, I spoke about our nation's obsession with caffeinated and sweetened beverages. Why are young people turning ever more predictably to these coffee-drinks? Is it even something we need to be concerned about?
Lets start with the most obvious benefit of coffee: caffeine. As we all know, caffeine acts as a stimulant, improving concentration and increasing alertness. Coffee's origins date back as far as the ninth century, but it wasn't until the 1800s that caffeine, itself, was isolated and identified as the magic component giving coffee its stimulating effects. Unfortunately, tolerance to caffeine can develop rather quickly. And too much of a good thing can mean tremors, restlessness, anxiety or insomnia. Trying to quit caffeine? You might find yourself in withdrawl, with headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating or even depressed mood. In general, though, there is no good data to say that caffeine in moderation is really "bad" for you.
Which leads us to the second component of most of these caffeinated drinks: sugar. Like soda and juice, the sugar content in one beverage can be astounding. In my favorite go-to drink, a medium nonfat vanilla latte, I discovered there are 35 grams of sugar – that's about 8 teaspoons! The news is worse for my innocent milk tea. In one serving there are 52 grams of sugar, totaling 13 teaspoons. Now what about one of the large frozen mocha-flavored drinks topped with whipped cream and chocolate flavored drizzle – the ones similar to what I witnessed those school-aged children drinking? Well folks, 87 grams. That's about 22 teaspoons of straight sugar!
With numbers like these you begin to see why these drinks might not be such a good idea after all. Sugar not only leads to tooth decay, as our mothers warned us. Sugar also leads to plaque build up in arteries and insulin resistance, putting us at risk for heart disease and diabetes. In addition to juice and soda, these drinks need more recognition as being active players in our nation's slide into obesity.
Do you have a rule about coffee or tea drinks in your house? What kinds of healthy options can we start offering our young teens? I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments! Plus, put your favorite drink to the test. To give nutrition facts more meaning, divide the grams of sugar on the nutrition label by 4 in order to get the number of teaspoons of sugar in one serving. You might be surprised.

January 2015….
It was the 11th hour before my novel series was to launch. I loved the final draft of the book cover design. The editorial department had done its jobs with the manuscript. The social media platform had been previously primed with nearly 15,000 followers. The administrative team was ready to execute the launch.
But at that 11th hour, I opened an e-mail message.
The words were innocent enough, but they hit like a sledge hammer to my solar plexus. The poison of doubt spread through my veins.
I cancelled the launch. I stopped writing fiction. I stopped writing my blog. 2015 was the first year of my life that I failed to read one book.
April 1, 2016.
Back in the 1980s, I used to say, "If life give you lemons, piss on 'em!"
There's no better time that April Fools' Day to revive my passion: fiction.
Stay tuned….

WASHINGTON — A festering conflict between the Central Intelligence Agency and its congressional overseers broke into the open Tuesday when Senator Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee and one of the C.I.A.'s staunchest defenders, delivered an extraordinary denunciation of the agency, accusing it of withholding information about its treatment of prisoners and trying to intimidate committee staff members investigating the detention program.
Describing what she called a "defining moment" for the oversight of American spy agencies, Ms. Feinstein said the C.I.A. had removed documents from computers used by Senate Intelligence Committee staff members working on a report about the agency's detention program, searched the computers after the committee completed its report and referred a criminal case to the Justice Department in an attempt to thwart their investigation.
The 6,300-page report has been at the center of a bitter dispute between the committee and the agency, which says it contains many inaccuracies that must be corrected before it is released.
Ms. Feinstein's disclosures came a week after it was first reported that the C.I.A. last year had monitored computers used by her staff in an effort to learn how the committee may have gained access to the agency's own internal review of the detention and interrogation program that became perhaps the most criticized part of the American government's response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Ms. Feinstein said the internal review bolstered the conclusions of the committee's still-classified report on the program, which President Obama officially ended in January 2009 after sharply criticizing it during the 2008 presidential campaign.
For an intelligence community already buffeted by controversies over electronic surveillance and armed drone strikes, the rupture with Ms. Feinstein, one of its closest congressional allies, could have broad ramifications.
Ms. Feinstein has proved to be a bulwark for intelligence agencies in recent years: publicly defending the National Security Agency's telephone and Internet surveillance activities, the C.I.A.'s authority over drone strikes and the F.B.I.'s actions under the Patriot Act against a growing bipartisan chorus of critics.
"Feinstein has always pushed the agency in private and defended it in public," said Amy B. Zegart, who studies intelligence issues at Stanford University. "Now she is skewering the C.I.A. in public. This is a whole new world for the C.I.A."
Ms. Feinstein, who had refused to comment on the dispute between the C.I.A. and her committee, took the Senate floor on Tuesday morning to say the agency's actions had breached constitutional provisions for the separation of powers and "were a potential effort to intimidate."
"How this will be resolved will show whether the Intelligence Committee can be effective in monitoring and investigating our nation's intelligence activities, or whether our work can be thwarted by those we oversee," she said.
Hours later, John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director, forcefully denied Ms. Feinstein's assertions that the agency had carried out a broad effort to spy on the committee's work.
"Nothing could be further from the truth," Mr. Brennan said in response to questions during an appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington.
Referring to Justice Department inquiries now underway, Mr. Brennan urged Senate critics to await the results of those reviews before leveling accusations against the C.I.A.
"When the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong," he said.
Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, declined to say whether Mr. Obama had spoken to Mr. Brennan, who served as a White House adviser during the president's first term, about the C.I.A. controversy. "Well, let me just say, folks here and in the administration have been in regular consultation with Chairman Feinstein about the broader issues here," Mr. Carney said. "We've made clear that we want to see the report's findings declassified."
In her 45-minute speech, Ms. Feinstein gave the fullest public account of the years of back-room jousting between her committee and the C.I.A. over the agency's detention program, and its use of secret prisons and brutal interrogation techniques like waterboarding that critics described as torture.
The dispute came to a head in mid-January when Mr. Brennan told members of the committee that the agency had carried out a search of computers used by committee investigators at a C.I.A. facility in Northern Virginia, where the committee was examining documents the agency had made available for its report.
Ms. Feinstein said on Tuesday that during the meeting, Mr. Brennan told her that the C.I.A. had searched a "walled-off committee network drive containing the committee's own internal work product and communications" and that he was going to "order further forensic evidence of the committee network to learn more about activities of the committee's oversight staff."
The C.I.A. had carried out the search to determine whether committee investigators may have gained unauthorized access to the internal review of the detention program that the agency had carried out without informing the committee. Ms. Feinstein on Tuesday vigorously disputed this allegation, saying the document had been included — intentionally or not — as part of a dump of millions of pages the C.I.A. had provided for the Intelligence Committee.
Mr. Brennan, in a January letter to Ms. Feinstein that a government official who did not want to be identified released on Tuesday, said the committee had not been entitled to the internal review because it contained "sensitive, deliberative, pre-decisional C.I.A. material"— and therefore was protected under executive privilege considerations.
The letter, attached to a statement that Mr. Brennan issued to the agency's employees on Tuesday, raised questions about Ms. Feinstein's statements earlier in the day concerning at what point the committee came into possession of the internal review.
The C.I.A.'s acting general counsel has referred the matter to the Justice Department as a possible criminal offense, a move Ms. Feinstein called a strong-arm tactic by someone with a conflict of interest in the case. She said that that official had previously been a lawyer in the C.I.A.'s Counterterrorism Center — the section of the spy agency that was running the detention and interrogation program — and that his name is mentioned more than 1,600 times in the committee's report.
Ms. Feinstein did not name the lawyer, but she appeared to be referring to Robert Eatinger, the C.I.A.'s senior deputy general counsel. In 2007, The New York Times reported that when a top C.I.A. official in 2005 destroyed videotapes of brutal interrogations of Al Qaeda detainees, Mr. Eatinger had been one of two lawyers to approve their destruction.
Ms. Feinstein specifically mentioned the destruction of the tapes as justification for her staff's removal of copies of parts of the internal C.I.A. review from the Northern Virginia facility and decision to take the documents to the committee's offices on Capitol Hill.
She said it was necessary to "preserve and protect" a copy of the review, which she said "corroborates critical information" of the committee's own investigation.
Ms. Feinstein said that on two occasions in 2010, the C.I.A. had removed documents totaling hundreds of pages from the computer server used by her staff at the Northern Virginia facility. She did not provide any details about the documents, but said that when committee investigators confronted the C.I.A. they received a number of answers — first a denial that the documents had been removed, then an explanation that they had been removed by contractors working at the facility, then an explanation that the removal of documents was ordered by the White House.
When the committee approached the White House, she said, it denied giving such an order.
Ms. Feinstein's broadside rallied Senate Democrats, but divided Republicans.
Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, said that he supported Ms. Feinstein "unequivocally" and that he was "disappointed" in the C.I.A.'s conduct. When Mr. Reid brought up the speech at a closed-door lunch of Senate Democrats, Ms. Feinstein received a standing ovation.
Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, who for years has done battle with the C.I.A. over the agency's detention and interrogation program, called the allegations "very disturbing" and suggested an independent investigative body might need to be impaneled to get to the bottom of the dispute.
Most Republicans on the Intelligence Committee, however, either refused to comment on the chairwoman's charges or said she had no right to air such grievances in public.
"You have to understand, as a longtime member of both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, I personally don't believe anything that goes on in the Intelligence Committee should be discussed publicly," said Senator Richard M. Burr, Republican of North Carolina.
But such conflicts with the executive branch tend to unite congressional Republicans and Democrats like little else.
In 2006, when the F.B.I. searched the Capitol Hill office of Representative William J. Jefferson, Democrat of Louisiana, for evidence of corruption, his most vocal defender was a Republican, Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, who said the raid was a violation of the Constitution's protection of congressional speech and debate.
"The Senate is bigger than any one senator," said Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, trying to rally lawmakers behind Ms. Feinstein.
"The members of the Senate must stand up in defense of this institution, the Constitution and the values upon which this nation was founded," he said.

- The IOCG project is found in the Olympic Dam province in SA
- Argonaut and Aeris hold the Torrens Copper project as a JV
- Drilling is underway as the partners hope to make discoveries at depths similar to BHP's Oak Dam West copper discovery
What does Argonaut Resources do?
Argonaut Resources NL (ASX:ARE) holds base metals assets in Australia and Zambia and lithium projects in Canada. It is run by exploration director and CEO Lindsay Owler, a geologist and geophysicist with more than 20 years of experience in mineral exploration and development. Owler has 10 years of executive experience and has established and led mineral exploration operations in Australia, North America, Africa and South-East Asia.
What does Argonaut Resources own?
The key asset in Australia is the Torrens joint venture copper project in South Australia near projects owned by OZ Minerals Limited (ASX:OZL) and BHP Group Ltd (ASX:BHP) (LON:BHP) (NYSE:BHP) (NYSE:BBL).
Torrens project features copper-gold mineralisation and drilling of a large copper-gold anomaly the project restarted less than 3 weeks ago.
The Torrens anomaly has 28 distinct target zones and a larger footprint than BHP's nearby Olympic Dam mine.
Gravity and magnetic targets at Torrens are about 40 kilometres northeast of BHP's standout Oak Dam West copper discovery.
Oak Dam West is about 65 kilometres southwest of the major miner's large Olympic Dam operations which is targeting 215,000-tonnes copper production target for the 2018-19 financial year.
Argonaut's 30%-owned Torrens project is run as a joint venture with Aeris Resources Ltd (ASX:AIS), which holds the remaining 70% of the JV.
Aeris is a copper producer that also has the Tritton Copper Operation in NSW.
At the South Australian exploration project Torrens, the JV partners have committed to an initial 8-10 hole, $5 million program on Lake Torrens.
They began their redrilling effort at the IOCG project in January 2019 after BHP identified a major potential new IOCG system in November 2018 in the Olympic province, at similar depths to be targeted by Torrens project drilling.
The program is part of a wider, extensive 25-30 hole $15 million program previously expected to take 18-24 months.
Drillers will target geophysical anomalies with similar properties to the Oak Dam West, Olympic Dam and Carrapateena copper deposits.
An environmentally sensitive, heli-portable drilling rig is being used and holes will be drilled to about 800-1,500 metres deep targeting dense, iron-rich rocks believed to contain copper-gold mineralisation.
Argonaut and Aeris confirmed in 2007-08 mineralisation at the major iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) system at Torrens which is found beneath several hundred metres of sedimentary cover.
Western Mining Corporation had originally identified the system in the late 1970s. One of its successors, WMC Resources, was rolled into BHP in 2005.
If Argonaut and Aeris make a discovery at Torrens, there is scope for a very large tonnage deposit and successive discoveries.
The partners have an extended history with the Torrens project and celebrated last year as the company "unshackled" the project and resolved a number of legislative issues.
In April 2016, the Federal Court refused three applicants requests for native title over Lake Torrens, with the primary decision upheld by the Full Federal Court in March 2017.
The applicants' April 2018 motion seeking special leave to appeal was then declined by the High Court of Australia in a judgement in October 2018.
In the March 2018 quarter, the company had been granted an approval under section 23 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988 by South Australia's Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation.
The High Court ruling in December quarter of 2018 became a final green-light for the partners who then opted to go ahead with their fully-funded stage I drilling program at Torrens.
Partners Argonaut and Aeris then started the March quarter of 2019 with drilling in January 2019 and also added to Torrens exploration project ground.
In January 2019 Argonaut accepted offered terms for ELA 2018/160, a 198 square kilometre exploration licence area in three parts, with part of the land adjoining the Torrens licence and a separate part covering a Red Dam IOCG target.
Another junior company operating in the area, Auroch Minerals Ltd (ASX:AOU), holds a likely eastern extension to the Torrens JV's gravity anomaly.
Auroch plans to drill the area dubbed the Torrens East Copper Project and views it as highly prospective.
What is Argonaut Resources' backing?
Argonaut had $4.7 million cash at the end of December quarter 2018 and was expecting cash outflows of $859,000 in the quarter.
It had $545,000 budgeted for exploration and evaluation.
Aeris had $21.7 million of useable cash for exploration and its Tritton operation at the end of the December quarter.
The partners' March quarter results are expected by the end of April 2019.

"The hunt for copper under Lake Torrens is finally underway," Argonaut CEO Lindsay Owler said.
"The Argonaut board is thrilled to have reached this milestone after pursuing access approvals for so many years.
"The high-grade copper discovery nearby at Oak Dam West confirms what Argonaut management has always believed: the Stuart Shelf has a huge copper endowment."

Just a few thoughts as we head into the wedding season, 2018, when blue skies and fresh hope will be the order of the day (I know it's been snowing down south and the thermometer has been near zero) but stay with me.
My mind has been particularly on a wonderful young couple due to be married in August. I've known the bride to be since she was about fourteen. It's going to be my pleasure and honour to preside at the wedding as a family friend. However, I couldn't resist thinking of one or two comments I'd read from young children on the subject of romance, love and marriage – 'out of the mouths of babes they say'. One little girl aged 8 summed up the romance of dating like this –
'When a person gets kissed for the first time, they fall down for at least one hour...
High expectations, then, no pressure on the groom! Another, slightly more 'knowing' little girl of nine, came up with this world weary observation –
'Beauty is only skin deep, but how rich you are can last for a long time.'
All very perceptive and thought provoking, but not as helpful an insight as a line from the Anglican service, where marriage is spoken of as a 'way of life that a couple enter into, that requires sacrificial commitment from both partners'.
Love is very powerful and I believe we're designed for love in its widest and deepest sense and funnily enough the one human being who truly showed us what love is, wasn't married, but he sure was committed to all men and women. With that (and marriage) in mind I give the last word to the wisdom of scripture –
'Think hard about who you will be closest to, because they will be the primary shapers of who you will become' (Proverbs 13: 20)
Have a wonderful and blessed summer season,
Your friend in Christ,
No one has commented on this post yet.

In practice, getting the barness stable and fitting nicely, avoiding the brakes and gear cables, is a little more fiddly than one might imagine.
I choose a harness (like the Wildcat Gear Mountain Lion) rather than a waterproof bag (like a Revelate Designs Sweetroll) because it avoids the necessity of seam sealing or using waterproof materials. It's also much more versatile - holding a variety of bags and types of cargo.
I added double-layered elastic straps to jam items for quick access, like gloves and a buff.
I salvaged the majority of the material from a suitcase. The main body is a piece of relatively flexible plastic. I reckon the degree of flexibility is an important consideration - too flexible and it won't provide support - the bag will flop around the place. However, if it's too stiff it won't conform to the load well when it's cinched tight. Additionally, it could fatigue and break.
The rest of the materials are from various places.
Removable spacers. The spacers are sections of a second suitcase, cut into a shape to accommodate the brakes.
Sections of inner tube line the inner of these straps. This provides a bit more grip when cinched against the bars. It's also possible to add a few more layers, due to the compressibility of the rubber, this should put the straps under tension, increasing the stability further.
This lower strap arrangement wraps around a "Crud Fast Fender Front Mud Guard" with the mudguard section removed. This isn't the only way of fulfilling this role, but it's simple and I'm lazy. I'm slightly worried the bag will eventually fatigue the plastic stays, but only time will tell.
I added another length of (hidden) plastic to reinforce the main section. All the holes were made by pressing a tack through the section and then sewing through. I'll probably glue something over the treads on the internal side, for protection from wear and tear. The fabric on the back is pretty unnecessary, but it doesn't add much weight. The edging is more important - preventing chipping/abrasion and softening the edge where the barness meets the dry bag.
At some point I'll add a removable mesh pocket stretched across the front for quick access to a rain jacket and gloves.

Generic Viagra is an oral drug that contains Sildenafil Citrate which represents a phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor that works by increasing blood flow into the penis in the process of sexual stimulation. The compound is a famous sexual enhancer that helps men in achieving and maintaining the erection. It is a well known compound for treating the impotency condition.
It is just as useful in men who might end up with an erection, but without the ability to maintain it throughout the entire sexual act. Viagra cannot be taken by healthy men and it cannot improve the sex performance in bed. The compound should not be taken more than once a day.
The average Viagra dosage is 50 mg, taken approximately one hour before the sexual activity. The dosage may vary from 25 to 100 mg depending on the accomplished effect. Increased alcohol consumption or heavy meals rich in fatty ingredients may delay the effect of the drug with up to half an hour.
Viagra is quite rare in side effects; however men sometimes can experience headache; heartburn; stuffy nose; diarrhea; dizziness; flushing; upset stomach, ringing in the ears; severe or persistent dizziness, seizure and painful or prolonged erections.

David Cameron will attempt to breathe fresh life into his flagging "big society" initiative when he launches a £600m fund to support grassroots social projects on Wednesday.
The prime minister will announce that £400m from dormant bank accounts will be used to help finance the scheme, dubbed Big Society Capital. A further £200m will come from Britain's four largest high street banks – Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC and RBS.
The fund will help local groups take control of their post office and provide capital for charities and voluntary groups bidding for government contracts. There will be a strong focus on helping the long-term unemployed back into work.
Cameron, who has faced criticism for failing to define the big society, will hail the scheme as one of the world's most important social investment funds. He hopes it will show that the big society is more than just an election slogan.
Cameron declared on the eve of the Tory manifesto launch before the general election that he was inviting the British people to join his government as part of an open, big society. But many Tories said the idea, seen as the brainchild of Cameron's policy guru Steve Hilton, was ill-defined and difficult to explain.
Ministers say it has taken two years to establish the fund, which will be run independently of the government by the former JP Morgan global head of research Nick O'Donohoe, and chaired by Sir Ronald Cohen, the Apax founder.
The European commission had to declare that the fund did not break its state aid rules. There were lengthy negotiations with the high street banks who made £200m of capital available under the terms of the Merlin deal with the government.
The prime minister will say: "For years, the City has been associated with providing capital to help businesses to expand. Today, this is about supplying capital to help society expand. Just as finance from the City has been essential to help businesses grow and take on the world, so finance from the City is going to be essential to helping tackle our deepest social problems.
"Big Society Capital is going to encourage charities and social enterprises to prove their business models – and then replicate them. Once they've proved that success in one area they'll be able – just as a business can – to seek investment for expansion into the wider region and into the country. This is a self-sustaining, independent market that's going to help build the big society."
Cohen, the driving force behind the fund, said: "What we've done for business entrepreneurs we must now do for social entrepreneurs. We must give them the resources to innovate in the way we resolve social issues. Big Society Capital aims to transform the flow of capital into the social sector and to boost significantly its ability to improve people's lives."
Nick Hurd, the minister for civil society, said: "This is a time when we need to be doing more to back our social entrepreneurs. For many years, charities and social enterprises have been telling government how hard it is to access long-term capital. We have listened and within two years have delivered a new institution that will make it easier."

IAS recently sat down with Miguel, an actor, director and graduate of the 2014 semester to talk about what brought him to the program, his work at home in Portugal and the incredible theater project he started with a group of students from Baqa, culminating in a couple of performances, one at the school's graduation and the other at IAS's semester end party. Below is our interview and a video of the girls rehearsing!
Intensive Arabic Semester: What brought you to Intensive Arabic Semester? How did you encounter the program, and what drew you to it?
Miguel Barros: I found out about the course from a friend, he told me about the different components: the language, culture and everything surrounding it.
And of course there's my interest in conflict resolution, which is really the work that I do at home through theater. And this country (Israel) is really loved by everyone that thinks about conflict resolution, which, of course, includes myself.
IAS: Tell us about the work that you do at home. How is it related to your interest in conflict resolution?
MG: I am the director of a project called Teatro Ibisco, started in 2002, which is part of the umbrella Choices project.[*] We are a theater, which hosts kids from difficult socioeconomic and familial backgrounds, at risk of becoming gang members, working with them through theater to gain tools to become citizens.
Generally my work can be classified as conflict prevention and resolution work. The theater teaches our actors (the kids) to have awareness and critical sense towards society, and works against victimizing themselves—thinking the system is against them. Sometimes, of course, the system is, but if they have a pessimistic point of view, it absolutely will be. We're now working with the 2nd generation of kids, the 1st is now teaching the second! In addition to our theater work, the project has expanded, we have opened spaces for the community, a bar, gallery, gym and now have two auditoriums.
IAS: Wow! So can you tell us a bit about your experience with IAS, and the work you've done here?
MG: Well, first, I fell in love with the language and tried to make the best of the course, which meant absorbing and experiencing as much as I could. Listening to people talking about their lives, their own perspective, the idea of how they deal with the many issues that are related to this country.
After a few weeks, I thought it would be interesting if I could implement the methodology I use in Portugal—working with kids, not necessarily from troubled neighborhoods, but people who had different perspectives in the country. So I started not one but two projects. One in Haifa in collaboration with Agial youth group and one in Baqa at the Ibn Al Haytham school. The one in Baqa, due to logistics and immense support from the school continued and developed, ultimately giving birth to a 10 minute play.
IAS: How did the play come to be? What did the project look like?
MG: Well, we started with a group of girls and boys, but that dwindled to a group of girls. This was actually very positive; it helped the girls feel comfortable as young women in theater. They call themselves Bannaat Baqa (The Baqa Girls) and they went through the process of preparing a whole play through our methodology. I had originally thought just to do one workshop, but it morphed and we had rehearsals once a week for 3 months.
First we did exercises and relaxation skills, gaining self-confidence and communication skills—the work is always based on improvisations. At first I gave ideas for them to work on, and they would tell little stories about these subjects. The girls then took these ideas, telling stories and presented them to each other in groups of 3 or 4, and everyone gave their opinion, after which I would work with them, explaining errors made in the storytelling, in terms of "good theater" and they would revise them.
After this process the girls democratically decided which improvisations (which were all in Arabic, at the beginning I thought they might be bilingual, but this wasn't a priority so we followed natural impulses—the best improvisations were in Arabic.) would be taken as the basis for the play. We then worked to improve them, decided as a team how to find a common narrative, make all things a part of a whole. We had one class on how to structure a narrative, how to have conflict which is a must. Found a way of making all the bits and pieces a single story and now we have a ten-minute play!
In the end, the girls chose an improvisation about a disabled girl with 6 sisters, none of whom respect her. They are very cruel, sometimes because they want to be, sometimes just by accident. And then the story unfolds from there. It's all about empowerment.
IAS: How exactly did the first ideas develop?
MB: Well, at the advice of Haneen (English teacher, and coordinator of the school/IAS exchange) we took up the Ministry of Education theme for schools in Israel this year, "Embracing the Other."
IAS: An amazing process! And did the girls perform the plays? Have other people seen them? What have you taken away from seeing their experience?
MB: Yes, it was performed twice! Once for the school's graduation in front of hundreds of people in Baqa, and the second time at the IAS end of year celebration at Givat Haviva.
In terms of the experience, I was not worried about making it as perfect as a professional show—I was much more interested in the process. In the play we use one of [Mahmoud] Darwish's poems about the Other, a traditional song, and Zaghrouta, the traditional Palestinan unulation, which did initially pose a problem. There was concern about the girls projecting such a noise in a public way.
This was hard; there were so many questions of identity tied into it. I felt there was concern about kind of countering the collapsing of globalization—where everyone having the same identity with the same songs, same cars, same lifestyles. It acted in two ways, the inclusion of traditional cultural elements in the play, but also some discomfort about the kind of activities the girls were partaking in, which maybe went against traditional cultural ideas of what is acceptable for them to do.
But I really believe everyone needs to find the roots of their culture, it is a very fluid thing (identity too) you can be a lot of things at one time. But for an Arab being an Israeli should not be about forgetting their Palestinian roots, and this is one of the things that's so beautiful about this country. Arabs will have a big responsibility in the future because they live in a very different way than the Arabs in the much of the Arab world given Israel's plurality.
In the end it was about so much more then the play, knowing the girls before and after the process, you see such an incredible change and that's what we're here for. Giving the person the tools for her to empower herself, giving her tools and choices. It's not about changing them the person changes herself.

In East African Highland, cooking banana is the major food. The bananas are harvested when they are still green, then chopped and steamed. Even though it is a good source of starch, there are micronutrients in it. So Scientists in Australia have decided to do something about it. They have created vitamin A rich golden banana that could be the perfect solution for this problem.
These golden-orange-fleshed bananas are rich in pro-vitamin A, which could save several lives of children who die from a deficiency vitamin A every year. According to Agriculture biotechnologist James Dale, it is estimated that 650,000 to 700,000 children world-wide die from pro-vitamin A deficiency annually, with another 300,000 losing their sight. Golden banana could substantially reduce those numbers.
The golden banana was obtained by taking genes from a species of banana from Papua New Guinea, which is high in provitamin A but is present is a small amount and inserted into a Cavendish banana, which is the high-yielding species. Provitamin A, once taken by the body, converts it into vitamin A.
Researchers from the Queensland University of Technology were funded 7.6 million dollars by the Bill Gate Foundation over the last ten years to research the banana. The latest research findings are published in Wiley's Plant Biotechnology Journal.
In this study, the research team presented results from their proof of concept field trial in Australia, in which they had aimed to achieve a specific level of provitamin A within the fruits produced. They found they had succeeded the target with one line of bananas more than doubling it.
Over the years, they have been able to develop a banana which has achieved excellent provitamin A levels, hence the golden-orange rather than cream-colored flesh. This is a major milestone for them as the golden banana can prove to be a boon for the poorest communities in Africa. The researchers claim to have tested hundreds of different genetic variations in their lab and field trials in Queensland until they got the accurate result they wanted.
These elite genes have been sent to Uganda in test tubes where they are inserted into Ugandan bananas for field trials. The next step is to see whether the results are replicated or not.
It is hoped that farmers might be able to start growing the golden bananas a large scale by around 2021.

Leon Uris
In the immediate post-War period he churned out a number of dreary bestsellers, each fixated on Making an Important Statement about a Key Event of Our Times, blah blah blah. Most of them are very badly written indeed: the Uris oeuvre is definitely recommended to aspiring writers who need reassurance that even their humble efforts can, with luck, get published. If you must read one, QB VII is probably your best bet, a courtroom thriller that (unusually for Uris) actually manages to kick up a head of steam. It suffers, though, from a profound sense of egomania (Uris clearly overidentifies with the author protagonist) and an uncomfortable fascination with atrocity details that borders, to my mind, on pornography.
Poking around Amazon, I see that somebody's going to reissue Exodus as a "Modern Classic". Please God, no.

Writers: Rob Zombie
Tagline: Hell doesn't want them. Hell doesn't need them. Hell doesn't love them. This world rejects them.
Plot: A little while after the murders of the young people from HO1KC The Firefly family must escape Their house because it is surrounded by police. Capt. Spaulding meets up with Baby and Otis to find a hiding place. Meanwhile, Officer Whydel, Sherrif Whydel's brother seeks revenge on the family who became known as The Devil's Rejects.
Cast: Sid Haig – Captain Spaulding
Bill Moseley – Otis
Sheri Moon Zombie – Baby
William Forsythe – Sheriff Wydell
Ken Foree – Charlie Altamont
Review (spoilers):
First time I watched this movie was few years ago. I couldn't remember everything from that watching so I watched it again today. I have to say that The Devil's Rejects is a better movie than House Of 1000 Corpses. Rob Zombie evolved in film making since then. HO1KC was just another Texas Chainsaw Massacre copy but The Devil's Rejects is something much more.
The semi original idea that I instantly liked is that the bad guys from the HO1KC are now "good" guys which we follow during the movie (they are being referred to as The Devil's rejects). The Devil's Rejects consists of Otis, Baby and Captain Spaulding. They are all so sinister and brutal in their killing but still likeable and from time to time funny so I cheered for them to win in the end. Their main enemy is a good cop went bad. He seeks revenge on them because they had killed his brother. He chases them around the country as they are running away from the police. As you can see the plot is nothing special, actually the whole script is below average. There are lot of plot holes and the dialogue is sometimes absolutely cheesy.
The best thing in the whole script is the guy who holds a bar in which The Devil's Rejects seek shelter, his name is Charlie. His character surely had some Tarantino influences in it but I won't call this a rip off but a good thing, he was one of the highlights of the movie. The other highlight is Captain Spaulding, Sid Haig managed to put up a good job. Kudos to him! Otis, as a character, was also ok, I guess. Some time he seemed like a mindless baboon but he did have his good moments. The only character I couldn't really stand was Baby. I'm not a big fan of Sheri Moon Zombie nor her acting, she is a little irritating. I know that she is Rob Zombie's wife and he loves her but I don't think he should use her in his every movie, using same actors over and over again just limits his potentials as a movie maker. I also have to mention that Danny Trejo had some screen time in this movie, he's a living legend: ).
Soundtrack of The Devil's Rejects also had a big role in the average movie feeling. Rob Zombie (a music maker himself) chose some decent song which perfectly fit the movie's atmosphere – including the Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic "Freebird" which is used in the final scene (which is also the best scene in the whole film). Besides that, The Devil's Rejects relies on some torturing scenes which are the only horror elements you will see. Those torture scenes are somehow weak and not very original but still cool, unfortunately, the overall feeling about them is nothing special.
I found The Devil's Rejects to be a very enjoyable movies, as I said before, much better than HO1KC. It seemed that Rob Zombie's directing career went suddenly up with this one but he went on to remake Halloween. I think he only managed to piss of Halloween fans by doing so and Halloween fans are the last thing you want to piss off.
My Rating: 7/10… A sequel that is really worth watching

Following the rollout of the Fibre Optic Cable, otherwise known as the national backbone, the prices for internet servicesdropped while speed increased
Joel Gasagure, the Rubavu District IT officer, says the fibre optic, which now connects all corners of the country, increased the speed of the internet which in return did not only speed-up the service but also reduced the amount of money they paid to the service providers.
He said the last charge with their last internet provider, was about Rwf995,000 per month, adding the current contract with Broadband System Corporation, that started last year, is Rwf 600,000 for both the internet and the web hosting.
"The speed of the internet provided by Rwandatel was too slow and this used to upset my clients. With the fibre, internet provided by BSC is very fast and reliable," said Daniel Niyonsenga, who owns Bits 'n Bites cyber café in Kimironko, a Kigali suburb.
He said the speed has led to an increase in the number of clients which has resulted into good business.
The acting CEO of BSC, Antoine Sebera, said that previously, the only way to get the internet was via satellite which, according to him, was too expensive.
He said with the national backbone, the charges per megabyte gradually reduced from $ 2, 500 before 2009 to and $125 (2012), adding that the prices will keep on going down as the number of subscribers increases.
So far, $96 million has been spent on the fibre optic project, which, he said, is to be implemented in three phases.
The first two phases, have been completed and these included connecting all of the 30 districts, eleven border posts, government buildings and some other key buildings now benefit from the cable.
The third phase according to Sebera, is to extend further the cable to ensure that beneficiaries are reached at the grassroot ,level.
This will be implemented in partnership with local internet services providers, who include; Tigo, Airtel, ALTEC-Stream, ISPA and 4G Networks.
"I am optimistic that through this collaboration, we will be able to extend this service to the masses," Sebera noted.
Sebera acknowledged Wibros are still few to fully access the internet from the Fibre Optic Cable but, he added, this will be handled in collaboration with service providers.
He urged the youth to make the fibre optic cablemore productive by developing a variety of applications in entertainment, business, health and many other areas.
National backbone reduces internet prices, increases speed

ASKING FOR HELP (14 week old)
After rescheduling Santiago's abdominal ultrasound 4 times (no exaggerations made), I decided to call my former counselor. It became clear to me that all my copying mechanisms were failing in lifting my sadness and that anger and desperation were building up rapidly. I also realized that my husband was more concerned about my well being at this point than Santiago's and that was not fear to him. In my first session, I talked for at least 45 minutes without taking a breath and then I cried, I cried a lot! The first big realization I had was that I was going through a grieving process regardless nobody was dead. I was grieving that "the way I always imagined having my baby" was not going to happen for me. When I walked into a room, people would not come to me to tell me how beautiful my baby was (most of them wouldn't) and my biggest concern raising a baby would not be his teething pains or an ear infection. Dr. Kubler-Ross identifies 5 stages of grief and I definitely walked through all of them:1) Denial: despite the fact that I was told twice by different doctors that Santi seemed to have JXG, I did not believe it until the biopsy results came. Even then, I still thought that his case would not be severe against her dermatologist's warning. For a long time I would skip going to the histiocytic websites because those diseases were really bad and my Santi's was not. 2) Anger: to say that I was mad is an understatement, I was furious. I was angry at God, at myself, at my husband, at my family and at the whole world if you asked me. Why was this happening to my little angel? Why us? It is estimated that 500 kids are diagnosed each year in the US with some type of histiocytic disorder. The chances are almost as tiny as to win a lottery, a very bad one and yet we got the winning ticket! 3) Bargaining: I started to negotiate with God. I asked him to take the JXG away from Santiago and give it to me instead. I also offered him to give me any other type of disease he wanted if JXG was not of his preference. I started to pray to Saint Expedito, a Saint that helps in urgent causes (I still did not want to believe that JXG came to stay for a long time). I used to pray three times a day, sometimes four. I knew I was not praying, I was telling God what to do. 4) Depression: when I realized that God and Saint Expedito were not doing what I asked, after I was mad to almost all my family members and friends, and I had several fights with my husband, I gave up. I felt completely powerless over JXG. It was obvious to me that there was nothing I could do about the spots besides watching them grow. I felt that I was failing Santiago as a mom. I had a horrible sense of loneliness. Nobody seemed to completely understand what I was going through, not even my husband. Close ones either tried to minimize my feelings, wanted me to be "positive" or they seemed to be in a worse place than I was. 5) Acceptance: when my counselor suggested that I should try loving Santi's bumps since they were part of his body, I thought she went crazy. When she said that she was concerned that I did not want to come out of my house and wanted me to join a "mommy class", I thought she was insane. When she pointed out that Santi and I were more "normal" than not, I thought: "that is because you don't know how people look at us" and when she kept repeating that I was a smart and loving person and she knew that I was going to figure this out with time, I could not visualize it either. However, the fact that she could was already making me feel better.
*My eternal thankfulness to Marilyn, who have helped me work the most difficult issues in my life and have always listened to my truth without judgment.

Looking for more advice on shotguns parts and gear, check out our recent review of the best shotgun stock kits.
FARMINGDALE, NY –-(AmmoLand.com)- The Mako Group, a leader in marketing and distributing weapons accessories, announces our new line of Remington and Mossberg shotgun stocks. All three types of unique stocks, (1) folding, (2) folding collapsible and (3) shock absorber collapsible, are solutions to the market's numerous requests. Each stock is designed to be very tough and robust, with superior features not found anywhere today!
- Tactical Folding Buttstock with an Embedded Adjustable Cheek Piece (Remington 870 – UAS870; Mossberg 500/590 – UAS500. MSRP $160.00). This is a completely new innovative, ground-breaking design for rifle stocks! The folding joint can be mounted to fold on either the left or right side, with clearance for trigger use. To fold the stock, simply push the button and a spring locks the stock in the folded position. To unfold, just pull on the stock. In addition, the stock has a slim and low profile, and the rubber buttplate reduces recoil and slippage.
- AR15/M4-style Folding and Collapsible Buttstock (Remington 870 – AGRF870-FK; Mossberg 500/590 – AGMF500-FK. MSRP $207.70). This product includes The Mako Group's best-selling GLR16 buttstock which folds (as described above), has 5-collapsible positions, comes with an M4-style aluminum buffer tube, and includes two battery-storage compartments – one in the GLR16 and one in the pistol grip.
- AR15/M4-style Collapsible Buttstock with Shock Absorber (Remington 870 – AGR870-FKSB; Mossberg 500/590 – AGM500-FKSB. MSRP $255.00). This product also includes The Mako Group's best-selling GLR16 buttstock (as described above) and has a unique, one-of-a-kind, shock-absorber system which reduces the actual recoil. Combined with a 5-position collapsible stock – the product is the only one of its type and price point in the market place today!
All three product designs include a pistol grip, which is made from composite materials, with a rock-solid one-piece ergonomic design and special non-slip texturing. The pistol grip allows a natural fighting stance hold on the shotgun and is slightly angled to counter recoil. In addition, there is improved muzzle control performance during fire and a storage compartment for batteries or a cleaning kit. No gunsmithing is required.
Also available are folding buttstocks with adjustable cheek pieces for the AK-47/74 and VZ-58 in polymer (UAS-AKP and UAS-VZP) or metal (UAS-AK and UAS-VZ) versions.
All of these stocks are manufactured by FAB Defense in Israel.
"We are very excited about our new shotgun stocks!" says Addy Sandler, The Mako Group's CEO. "For the past year or two we constantly received inquiries for (1) recoil-reducing solutions, and (2) a way to fold the shotgun stock to a more compact size. The Mako Group's new shotgun stocks are one-of-a-kind solutions to provide our customers with these much-requested capabilities."
