Eight Resource Companies You Need To Pay Attention to
Contributed Opinion
Source: Adrian Day��(11/8/22)
Several companies on expert Adrian Day's list have either reported quarterly earnings or had other news. In the case of the larger companies, most have already pre-announced production or sales.
Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX:TSX; GOLD:NYSE) reported results in line with expectations, though free cash flows were weak. The company had pre-announced production, as well as overall costs.
The weaker-than-expected free cash flows reduced the net cash balance and, therefore, the dividend, part of which is based on the company's excess cash balance, to US$0.15 rather than last quarter's US$0.20.
Nonetheless, the stock price decline — it fell over US$2 from Wednesday to Thursday, to as low as US$13, before a partial recovery Friday as gold jumped — appears grossly overdone and is as much a reflection of investor concern about the gold market, and general concerns about the increase in costs at large miners, than about Barrick in particular.
Organic Growth Beats M&A
CEO Mark Bristow said the company was on track to meet annual guidance at the low end of the range for gold and mid-range for copper.
He emphasized that the company was pursuing organic growth, even though it continues to look at M&A opportunities, adding that those that meet the company's investment criteria remain "few and far between."
Barrick has several large-scale organic opportunities, including the Pueblo Viejo expansion, the restart of Porgera, and the new Reko Diq copper project in Pakistan. The company expects to increase reserves, net of depletion, at year-end.
So far this year, it has bought back 1% of its outstanding shares and, together with dividends, has returned over US$1.2 billion to shareholders.
Bristow said the company would buy its own shares when they were materially below intrinsic value, and in comments, he was almost chomping at the bit to start buying shares again, "more, significantly more."
We should join him; buy.
Another Solid Quarter for Wheaton
Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM:TSX; WPM:NYSE) saw sales somewhat down, partly a reflection of two modest streams terminated during the quarter and partly a matter of the timing of sales. Ongoing bottlenecks affected sales, though these are being cleared up.
One major positive was the report that Phase 3 at Vale's Salobo is now 98% complete. Other development projects appear on the track, while a handful of new mines are scheduled to begin construction in 2023.
Given that the last two quarters saw weak results at Salobo, which is Wheaton's largest single asset, there had been concern that the expansion was being delayed. The company has nearly half a billion in cash, no debt, and US$2 billion on an unused line of credit.
A strong multi-year growth profile, rock-solid balance sheet, and conservative management make Wheaton a top pick. Given the jump in the stock price on Friday, we would hold off adding to positions, though you can take new positions here.
Royal Is on Track for a Strong End of Year
Royal Gold Inc. (RGLD:NASDAQ; RGL:TSX) had pre-released sales, which showed a minor miss of estimates largely due to a weak quarter at Cortez. Access to high-grade ore at that mine is now expected this quarter and will help Royal with a strong end of the year.
The company is maintaining its full-year guidance. This quarter is also expected to include the first royalties from its new Cortez royalty, which were not factored into the company's full-year estimates. Note that Royal has two royalties on Cortez.
In addition, the Khoemacau copper mine in Botswana, on which royal has a silver stream, expects to have completed its ramp-up by the end of this year or early next. Most importantly, the mine life of oft-troubled Mount Milligan, Royal's largest asset, has been extended another four years to 2033.
Average annual production is projected at 175,000 oz of gold and 68 million lbs of copper. Royal has streams on both metals.
This had been announced by operator Centerra last month. Royal has US$122 million cash and about $550 million available on its credit facility after paying down another US$50 million during the quarter. It intends to pay down debt further from ongoing cash flow. Royal has some quality assets and near-term growth. It is a buy at this price.
Lara Is a Must Own as the End Game Approaches
Lara Exploration Ltd. (LRA:TSX.V) announced that partner Capstone Copper had earned 49% in the Planalto Copper Project in Brazil after investing more than US$5 million in exploration expenditures. Capstone can move to 51% and become the operator by a US$400,000 payment to Lara, and then move to 61% by delivering a feasibility study.
This news follows the commencement of a new drilling campaign (see Bulletin 838); there is every indication that Capstone intends to continue in the joint venture and potentially look to buy the entire project.
As discussed previously, Planalto is not the only "company maker" that Lara holds. It also controls the Liberdade copper project, also in Brazil, on which it recently won a favorable court ruling in a dispute with Vale; and it owns 70% of the Mantaro phosphate project in Peru, each of which is arguably worth the company's entire market cap., and potentially far more.
With solid management running a lean operation, Lara is one of my all-time very favorite junior companies. (You can assume that clients of my money management hold all the stocks which I discuss favorably in this unaffiliated newsletter. I should disclose, however, that clients own over 16% of Lara.)
This will be a big winner, but in exploration, things take time. Just as I did with Virginia Gold and then with Reservoir Minerals, I have been thumping the table on Lara repeatedly for a while now. This is one you need to own, and I strongly suspect that the outcome will be just as pleasurable as the outcome was for those other two.
The stock is thinly traded, and you don't want to drive it up with your own buying. But a year from now, I suspect, it won't really matter whether you paid US$0.65 or US$0.75, or even more; the important thing is that you own it.
Orogen Implements Strategy While Revenue Increases
Orogen Royalties Inc. (OGN:TSX.V) has optioned the Pearl String gold project in Nevada's Walker Lane Trend to Barrick, giving it the right to earn 100% of the project in return for a US$1.5 million payment and US$4 million in exploration expenditures.
Orogen will retain a 2% royalty. The often neglected Walker Lane trend in southwestern Nevada hosts Anglo's Silicon deposit on which Orogen (and Altius) hold royalties.
Separately, Orogen and Altius have signed a generative exploration alliance, looking for new targets geologically similar to Silicon. Altius will make the initial funding, while Orogen will make available its database and exploration team. Altius holds over 16% of Orogen as well as some warrants.
In Mexico, First Majestic announced a production record at its Santa Elena mine, with "strong production" from the Ermitaño deposit on which Orogen holds a royalty. First Majestic, noting that Ermitaño has higher grades than the Santa Elena mine, said it was processing a higher percentage of ore from Ermitaño.
As with Lara, Orogen is a junior you need to own. Closing Friday at 0.40 x 0.42, it is just above its 6-month average price, where it remains a solid buy.
Midland Continues Exploration Success
Midland Exploration Inc. (MD:TSX.V) reported encouraging success from its recent exploration program in the Labrador Trough, part of a strategic alliance with SOQUEM. Several new mineralized horizons were discovered at surface, with very attractive grab samples. The companies will continue their work over the winter, seeking to understand the geologic setting. We would expect the team to be back in the field next summer.
With strong management, a solid balance sheet, and the activity of multiple projects, many with first-class partners, Midland remains a buy.
Vista Cuts Costs as Deal Process Takes Time
Vista Gold Corp. (VGZ:NYSE.MKT; VGZ:TSX), in its third-quarter report, noted that it was advancing work to maximize value on its Mt Todd project, focusing on controlling costs while the process was ongoing. Fixed-cost spending is running 15% under the US$7 million budgeted for the full year; most of those reductions have been in personnel costs.
And the company also expects a reduction in discretionary spending now the feasibility study and drilling programs are complete; it spent just under US$1 million at Mt Todd in the quarter.
However, even at the reduced rate, its US$9.6 million cash as of the end of the quarter, healthy though that is, represents little more than one year's worth of expenses. Hold.
Gladstone Performs Well in Difficult Environment
Gladstone Investment Corp. (GAIN: NASDAQ) reported a strong quarter with adjusted Net Investment Income, a key metric for Business Development Companies, of US$0.29, up from US$0.25, and total investments valued at US$738 million, up from US$690 million at the end of June.
The company made one new investment of US$39 million, and it recapitalized an existing investment adding another net of US$20 million. The portfolio suffered a small decline in valuations, largely the result of lower multiples being assigned.
Gladstone reported that its portfolio companies were meeting the challenges of the economic environment and higher interest rates, and in fact one company came off non-accrual status, leaving just two companies on non-accrual.
New Dividend Equals Over 10% Yield
As a result of the strong performance, the company increased its monthly dividend by almost 7%, and it announced another supplement distribution of US$0.12. If the company can make similar extra distributions in the coming 12 months, the forward yield would be over 10%. It yields a healthy 6.9% just on the monthly dividends.
With a high yield, a strong balance sheet and low leverage, and growth opportunities, Gladstone remains a long-term holding. However, with the stock price up sharply after its results — and it is up from under US$12 a share three weeks ago — we are holding.
BEST BUYS this week are few; given that the markets have rallied recently, and the gold and resource stocks in particularly jumped sharply on Friday, we are not chasing, even though many of the prices remain attractive on a longer-term basis. In addition to those above, buys this week include Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE) and Nestle SA (NESN:VX; NSRGY:OTC).

Q: aws lambda concurrent executions metric and single one PartitionKey in the kinesis stream I have a kinesis stream configured as an event trigger for my aws lambda.
The kinesis trigger has a config like this:
  Activate trigger: Yes
  Authentication:[{}]
  Batch size: 10
  Batch window: 1
  Concurrent batches per shard: 1
  Last processing result: OK
  Maximum age of record: 10800
  On-failure destination: None
  Report batch item failures: No
  Retry attempts: None
  Split batch on error: No
  Starting position: LATEST
  Tumbling window duration: None
  UUID: b90da7ec-6e4c-4848-99f5-effa2cf5e0cf

I put some records to the kinesis stream with same PartitionKey but some minutes later I open the "Concurrent executions" metric and I see the next chart

In the AWS documentation I read
A partition key is used to group data by shard within a stream. Kinesis Data Streams
 segregates the data records belonging to a stream into multiple shards. It uses the
 partition key that is associated with each data record to determine which shard a
given data record belongs to. Partition keys are Unicode strings, with a maximum
length limit of 256 characters for each key. An MD5 hash function is used to map
 partition keys to 128-bit integer values and to map associated data records to
shards using the hash key ranges of the shards. When an application puts data into
a stream, it must specify a partition key.

Why my lambda executing concurrently? What I should do that that lambda proceed shard from kinesis sequentially without concurrency?

Netzparallelbetrieb bezeichnet den Betrieb von parallel zum Stromnetz verschalteten Energiequellen. Diese sind meistens kleine, dezentrale Quellen wie Windenergieanlagen, Solarstromanlagen oder Blockheizkraftwerke. Die dort gewonnene Energie wird nicht in ein Inselnetz, sondern in das Verbundnetz eingespeist. Durch das Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz und das Kraft-Wärme-Kopplungsgesetz sind die Netzbetreiber in Deutschland dazu verpflichtet, diese Energie abzunehmen.

Die Spannung und die Frequenz der eingespeisten Energie wird durch das Netz vorgegeben. Im Europäischen Verbundnetz beträgt die Netzfrequenz 50 Hz und die Spannung für das Niederspannungsnetz 230 V/400 V. Bei kleinen Solar- und KWK-Anlagen wird in das Niederspannungsnetz eingespeist. Windkraftanlagen und größere Blockheizkraftwerke sowie Biogasanlagen sind an das Mittelspannungsnetz angeschlossen und große Windparks speisen auch auf Hochspannungsebene ein.

Für die Einspeisung muss eine Genehmigung vorliegen und die technischen Vorschriften des jeweiligen Netzbetreibers müssen eingehalten werden. Auf der Einspeiseseite wird dazu ein Wechselrichter oder Umrichter eingesetzt, aber auch Asynchron- und Synchrongeneratoren. In Deutschland ist für Kleinsteinspeiser eine Einrichtung zur Netzüberwachung mit zugeordneten Schaltorganen (ENS) vorgeschrieben, ersatzweise eine jederzeit dem EVU zugängliche Trennstelle. Dies soll z. B. bei geplanten Netzabschaltungen einen Inselnetzbetrieb verhindern, der die Wartungsmannschaft gefährden kann.

I feel bad writing this post as I never went to Girton. I didn't even go to Cambridge! BUT.. My boyfriend did and he is a Girtonian through and through.
This Friday we went to their Spring ball (which felt like winter) and it was such an amazing experience. I have never really experienced a Cambridge ball and this was like a mini festival.
Before we start, I did have problems with wearing heels and changed to flats by Midnight, also I am not an allnighter person so I was very tired but I had so much fun.
Girton Spring Ball 2016 was cancelled, my boyfriend was meant to be the food officer and was very disappointed when it was cancelled with 48 hours to go. So this event was the next one that he had no input in and we did compare it to what the previous one would have been like. However, this did not change my experience.
So we decided to be one of the first people in the queue, so our group was in the queue from 7.30pm until they finally let us in at 9pm. The weather decided not to celebrate the ball, so it tipped it down for most of our time in the queue. I had walked there from the taxi in my flip-flops and just stood in them for the time, but my feet got so cold and waterlogged we were shivering when we got let in!!
There was some food for the queue, I enjoyed a couple of pieces of fudge while waiting. But we were so glad to get inside.
I really enjoyed the mix of food that was there, although I didn't eat much for the first few hours as I had gone past the point of hunger. I did enjoy some Mac'n'cheese with basil oil and bacon on top. Then picked at a hog roast and some arancini, I hate how much food gets wasted at these events though! We also hit the chocolate fountain and the popcorn stands too.
My favourite part was the breakfast rolls, but they wouldn't let me have bacon and a hash brown so I had to have an egg with it and I loved it.
The drinks I really enjoyed, there was a few different places to get cocktails from and we didn't get too many drinks really. Thankfully there wasn't too many queues for the drinks.
However, everyone else was sad there was no bottle baths of beer, but I'm not a beer drinker so I wasn't bothered.
There was an awesome cover band at the end which was so good, we didn't really listen to many of the other bands.
I think we saw the headline DJ for a bit, but that tent was outside and by then it was SNOWING!!!
It looked so beautiful and I enjoyed how it was decorated.
The logistics of it being half outside would have been great if the weather wasn't snowing.
There was the dodgems and some swing boats which seemed really popular.
We wanted to go on the swing boats, literally when the snow became super heavy so I decided against it in my sleeveless dress.
I did love the casino, I always enjoy playing 21s and roulette so I was there for a while. My boyfriend lost his chips very quickly!!
This was a really great night, the food was good and I really enjoyed myself. I can understand I didn't have the same experience as most Girtonian's – especially as they knew everyone. You would not believe how long it took us to do a loop of the event.
I do wish there was some hot drinks available and more space to chill out.
Our survivors photos – We made it to 5am!!
Sounds like you had a fantastic evening, don't worry that you didn't go to cambridge i am sure they still welcomed you and you partied like a gooden even if you were drenched!
This was a really interesting post, enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing.
Looks soo much fun 😀 Great post!
This looked like a ton of fun, is there anyway that us "average people" would be able to go to this event?

Tomb Raider: Chronicles
Platforms: PC, PlayStation, Mac, Dreamcast
After being buried alive in the Temple of Horus at the end of The Last Revelation, our heroine is presumed dead. Friends and colleagues gather at Croft Manor to pay their respects and reminisce over Lara's past deeds.
In flashback sequences the player gets to relive four of these adventures: The hunt for the Philosopher's Stone in Rome, a deep-sea dive off the coast of Russia in search of the Spear of Destiny, a brush with Hellspawn in old Ireland and a foray into a high-tech office complex to retrieve the Iris artifact.
Lara's fate is still unknown, but these four mini-stories helped fill the gap between The Last Revelation and The Angel of Darkness.

This is a terrible company to purchase from. Bought a faux leather sofa bed on the 9th June 2018. I wasn't informed when it will be delivered so I missed delivery 2 times. I called them to re-arrange delivery but was told I have to pay for delivery again which I refused and asked for the order to be cancelled & my money refunded. I was told I will be refunded less the original delivery charge which I agreed to as I was really fed up with their customer service. And almost a month later, I'm yet to be refunded. After several calls, all they keep telling me is that they are awaiting their manager to approve the refund. this is highly insane and looks to me as a fraudulent company.

Graham Watkins & Co provides three letting services: Adverts Only; Let Only; Full Management.
Each of the services varies in its provision and can be tailored to suit individual needs.
1. Advising as to the likely rental income.
2. Advertising and generally marketing the Property.
3. Taking up references including credit reference, and employer or previous landlord reference. Where necessary, additional security would be requested by means of a guarantor. In the case of a company, a full bank reference would be taken. The agent can give no warranties as to the suitability of a prospective tenant.
4. Preparing the tenancy agreement necessary for the Landlord to gain protection of the relevant Rent and Housing Acts.
5. Liaising with a Landlord's mortgagees where necessary with regard to references and tenancy agreement.
6. Taking a deposit from the tenant, dealing with this deposit under the requirements of the chosen deposit protection scheme until the end of the tenancy when the Property and contents have been checked for unfair wear and tear and handling any termination issues with the tenant and the tenancy deposit scheme provider.
7. Arranging with service companies (principally electricity gas & water) for meter readings and advising them of the transfer of service contracts to the tenant at the beginning of each tenancy, subject to the agent being advised of the provider.
8. Regular inspections of the Property are carried out on a quarterly basis. Responsibility for and management of empty property is not normally included, and will only be carried out by special arrangement.
9. Co-ordination of repair or maintenance including arranging for tradesmen to attend the Property and obtaining estimates where necessary, supervising works and settling accounts from rents received.
10. Making payments on behalf of the Landlord from rents received for costs in managing the Property.
11. Carrying out a property inspection and inventory check at the end of the tenancy and, if necessary, preparing and agreeing a schedule of costs relating to any damage or unfair wear and tear prior to releasing the deposit.
12. Collecting and forwarding Landlord's mail.
We currently provide an extensive marketing package that encompasses broad online advertising utilising various property portals and adverts in the local press. We can produce marketing details on your property including colour photographs and floor plans (if necessary) and advertise the property on our website and in our Leek office.
When an application is received for your property it is sent to a referencing company for processing; this process normally takes up to one week (depending on demand). Once the reference has been returned we will discuss the results with you and you can then make an informed decision as to whether or not you wish to grant tenancy to that applicant.
As a landlord it is legal requirement for you to have a valid gas certificate done every 12 months and also when selling or renting a property an Energy Performance Certificate is required.
It is also recommended that the electrics in the property be checked every 5 years. Portable appliances to be left in the property must also be inspected and certified as being in safe working order before we allow the property to be let. This has to be done by a qualified electrician and can either be arranged by you or through us.
We also advise that an 'Inventory and Record of Condition' is carried out which details the condition of the property and its contents. In addition to a written description of condition we can also take colour photographs which can be referred to in the event of dispute.
It is advised that you advertise the property as in a state in which you would be willing to move into yourself. Potential tenants are more likely to take care of a property if they feel it has been looked after in the past.

Joey G Turns It Up: 8 Years And Still Juicy
By Kevin Yeoh • 02 Aug 2010 in News
Every month, DJ, TV host and man-about-town Joey G takes time off his busy schedule to share his thoughts on the dance music scene in and out of Malaysia. He talks JUICE about turning 8.
Text Joey G
First of all, I would like to start by wishing JUICE magazine a very big happy birthday! It has been 8 crucial years since the very 1st edition of JUICE went to press in 2002. That's a total of 98 info-packed editions of the magazine to date, covering everything from events to launches, music to performances, singles to albums and interviews to gossip. It has even educated us on what is hot and not, but most importantly, JUICE is responsible for introducing most of today's biggest and best performers to the masses.
My sidekick Bobo aka Mr. Fluff and I stand as a true testament to that, as it was JUICE that booked us to play our first performance as CosmicSpaceMunkys for their 4th anniversary party called "Hats & Bananas" in 2006 before anybody had even heard of us. DJs, MCs, producers, musicians, artists, designers and many more have at some point or another been featured in the magazine. I think it is safe to say that once you are featured in JUICE, people will know who you are and what you do.
Over the years, JUICE has evolved into a street culture magazine and some people say that it has strayed away from what used to be its core content, which is clubbing and dance music in the genres of house, tech house and progressive. I admit that in recent years, JUICE's coverage of what I would like to call "young music" has made the magazine synonymous with the nu rave, electroklash and indie dance music scenes. But we need to remember that magazines like JUICE are all about covering what is fresh and breaking what is new, and in order to do so, it must be down with what is current. And as the leading sounds of our local dance music scene are forever evolving, it just seems apt that JUICE gives these scenes some props. Magazines like JUICE are very important to the city because they play a major role in shaping the image and perception of our clubbing industry and the growth of its artists.
Tight jeans and colourful sunglasses aside, JUICE has done many great things for the local industry, and I hope the magazine will continue to grow and offer support for all rising stars. In addition, if any of you house music purists want to keep up to date with what is hot and not in the house music realm, then hit me up because that is what I am here for. So once again, here's to the magazine with more juice than a crate of squeezed oranges. Happy 8th Birthday, JUICE!

CLEOBIS AND BITÔN
KLǼOVIS AND VÍTÔN - ΚΛΕΟΒΙΣ ΚΑΙ ΒΙΤΟΝ
FOTO: en:User:Adam Carr Source: File:Ac.kleobisandbiton.jpg - Wiki. Public Domain, by author/photographer
Klǽovis and Vítôn (Cleobis and Bitôn, Κλέοβις και Βίτων)
The story of Klǽovis and Vítôn, two noble young men living in virtue, has been preserved for our benefit in Ἱστορίαι Ἡροδότου. Because of the valor of these youths, the Gods deified them: they are Kouri (Κούροι, plural of Κούρος). As testimony to their arætí (aretê, ἀρετή), statues were created by the Argive sculptor Polymídîs (Polymêdês, Πολυμήδης) and presented as a gift from the people of Árgos (Argus, Ἄργος) to the sanctuary of Apóllôn (Apollô, Ἀπόλλων) at Dælphí (Delphi, Δελφοί). Those sculptures are extant in the archaeological museum and can be viewed to this day.
Iródotos (Herodotos, Ἡρόδοτος) tells us that the rich King Krísos (Croesus, Κροῖσος) of Lydía (Lydia, Λυδία) asked Sólôn (Solon, Σόλων, c. 638 BC–558 BC), one of the Seven Sages of ancient Greece, to tell him who in the world was the happiest, believing himself to be this man because of his considerable wealth and power. To the great irritation of Krísos, Sólôn replied that he believed the Athenian statesman, Tǽllos (Tellus, Τέλλος), was the happiest, for he had beautiful and good children who gave him grandchildren. These grandchildren grew to adulthood. Tǽllos spent his life in happy circumstances and died defending his pólis (city-state, πόλις), being buried with great honor. This answer was very annoying to Krísos, so he asked again, "Who, then, would be second to Tǽllos in happiness?" Sólôn replied that the two brothers, Klǽovis and Vítôn, would be, in his mind, the happiest, and he then went on to tell their story:
" 'Cleobis and Bito,' Solon answered; "they were of Argive race; their fortune was enough for their wants, and they were besides endowed with so much bodily strength that they had both gained prizes at the (Olympic) Games. Also this tale is told of them:--There was a great festival in honour of the Goddess Hera (Íra) at Argos, to which their mother (Κυδίππη, her name according to Ploutarkhos [Plutarch, Πλούταρχος] from a fragment [133]) must needs be taken in a car. Now the oxen did not come home from the field in time: so the youths, fearful of being too late, put the yoke on their own necks, and themselves drew the car in which their mother rode. Five and forty furlongs did they draw her, and stopped before the temple. This deed of theirs was witnessed by the whole assembly of worshippers, and then their life closed in the best possible way. Herein, too, God showed forth most evidently, how much better a thing for man death is than life. For the Argive men, who stood around the car, extolled the vast strength of the youths; and the Argive women extolled the mother who was blessed with such a pair of sons; and the mother herself, overjoyed at the deed and at the praises it had won, standing straight before the image, besought the Goddess to bestow on Cleobis and Bito, the sons who had so mightily honoured her, the highest blessing to which mortals can attain. Her prayer ended, they offered sacrifice and partook of the holy banquet, after which the two youths fell asleep in the temple. They never woke more, but so passed from the earth. The Argives, looking on them as among the best of men, caused statues of them to be made, which they gave to the shrine at Delphi.' "(Ἱστορίαι Ἡροδότου Book I, Chapter 31, trans. George Rawlinson, 1910)
Sólôn continued, saying that the happiness of a life cannot be evaluated until one sees its end, and he went on making many other comments. We learn later in The Histories that wealthy King Krísos was nearly burnt alive and that he lost his fortune and kingdom. Of course, the tale of King Krísos is not the subject of our essay, but rather it has provided the means by which we know the story of the admirable brothers, Klǽovis and Vítôn.

Free Trade = Freedom to Lie on Labels -- Phyllis Schlafly December 17, 1997 column.
We're learning more every month about what "free trade" really means. Not only does it mean NAFTA, stunning defeats in disputes before the World Trade Organization (too bad for Eastman Kodak, which lost its effort to open up the Japanese market and just laid off 10,000 employees), and billion-dollar bailouts of corrupt Asian regimes, but now we find that free trade means freedom to lie to American consumers.
The advocates of now-we-all-live-in-a-global-economy cooked up a sneaky plan for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to change its rules so that products could display the label "Made in U.S.A." even when that label is a lie because up to 25 percent of the product is not made in the U.S.A.
The standard for the last half century has required a product to be "all or virtually all" made in the U.S., with only "negligible" foreign content, in order to carry the coveted "Made in U.S.A." label. This standard has been interpreted to mean 98 percent of the merchandise's value.
The regulatory legerdemain was to be accomplished by a change published in the May 5 Federal Register. However, some people actually read the 16 pages of fine print and, after the firestorm subsided, the FTC backed down and abandoned its proposal.
Nobody was threatening any business's right to sell products that are 25 percent, or even 100 percent, foreign made or containing foreign content, or to charge any price the seller wishes. The issue was over allowing businesses to lie about their products, label them falsely, and deceive their customers about where the merchandise comes from.
This was wholly a truth-in-labeling issue. As Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-SC) said: "Polluting the `Made in U.S.A.' label with non-American products makes about as much sense as calling polyester a natural fiber."
The FTC, which was "surprised" at the fierce opposition to the change, didn't understand that this was an honesty issue. Jodie Bernstein, director of the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection who wrote the proposed change, described it as "a complicated issue" and whined that "I thought we came up with something very reasonable."
Wouldn't you think that protecting consumers against false labeling would be a priority for the Bureau of Consumer Protection? But no apologies were forthcoming; like many current politicians, Ms. Bernstein pleaded the excuse of style rather than substance: "We just didn't communicate the proposal well enough."
What's so fascinating is not only that the grassroots won an upset victory over the bureaucrats, but the way this regulatory war was reported by the newspapers that always line up on the side of free trade and the interests of global economy. The news stories were exemplars of obfuscation.
Those who opposed the change were branded as "emotional" and put down for supporting a "half-century-old standard," a "World War II-era standard." In touchy-feely words, we were admonished that it's "time to update the standard," to "relax the standard," to give the economy "more flexible standards" and "more leniency."
The New York Times admitted that "The idea of changing it grew out of a recognition of America's place in an increasingly global marketplace, and a growing sophistication among consumers, who realize that fewer and fewer goods are made within a single country." That non sequitur is no justification for lying to the American consumers.
Our "sophisticated" American consumers should be allowed to decide for themselves if they prefer to buy products made in the U.S.A., and if they care whether or not a product has foreign content. It is possible that the "Made in USA" label is even more valuable today than it was 50 years ago.
The proposed FTC change was defended as an "effort to recognize the reality of American commerce in the global bazaar." Contrariwise, it was an effort to conceal the reality that multinationals want to sell low-priced foreign goods marketed under a false U.S. label.
The globalist newspapers portrayed the FTC's retreat as a big victory for the unions, who worry about the multinationals moving plants abroad to hire cheap labor. It wasn't just the unions; the successful Made in USA Coalition included agriculture associations, small businesses, consumer advocates, and grassroots Americans.
The FTC was unable or unwilling to estimate how much of our economy would be affected by its proposed ruling, but it seems clear that this was another issue that divided the multinationals, who make extensive use of cheap foreign labor, against smaller, American-owned businesses. The businesses that lobbied to keep an honest "Made in U.S.A." standard included food companies, tool makers, manufacturers of precision instruments, and tile makers.
Rep. Bob Franks (R-NJ), who lined up 150 Republicans and Democrats to sign a House resolution opposing the change, said, "The agency charged with upholding truth in advertising is attempting to pull a fast one on America's consumers." But truth won out, and the FTC had to bugle retreat.

In For the Win by Melynda Price #Release Tour with #Giveaway #RomanticSuspense
In For the Win
Against the Cage Book 5
Genre: Sports Romance, Romantic Suspense
To win his heart, she'll have to give him the one thing that could drive him away—the truth…
Kyle Scott's talent for fighting paved the way for a career he never wanted, but needed to survive. Five years later, he doesn't recognize the man he's become. All his focus and energy has been poured into raising his little sister, leaving no time or interest for anything beyond a casual hook-up—until he meets a woman who sends his life spiraling out of control.
Penelope Cantrel isn't looking for love, but she's always ready for a good time. If she keeps everyone at a distance, they can't discover how broken she is, or the secrets she's running from. When she crosses paths with the sexy MMA fighter, Kyle's reputation as a cage-banging manwhore doesn't concern her. She isn't interested in a commitment. But after their white-hot attraction leads to a night of mind-blowing sex, neither of them will ever be the same again.
When Pen starts receiving threatening messages, her deepest fears are realized as she becomes the obsession of a man who will kill to possess her. Concerned for her safety, Kyle offers to pose as her boyfriend to deter her unwanted admirer, but his heated touches and those not-so-innocent kisses don't feel like he's acting. Could the infamous playboy be falling for her?
As the threat against Pen escalates, her stalker is closer than they thought. Kyle is the only thing standing between her and a madman, but she fears trusting him with her secrets could be a fatal mistake.
Goodreads * Amazon
Tonight, when Pen had crawled into his bed, Kyle foolishly hoped she was feeling it too. But as hot as the sex had been, something was still missing. An emotional connection? He didn't really know, because he'd never felt or wanted one before. But he'd sensed she was holding a part of herself back.
Their disconnect hadn't been physical. Fuck, he'd never felt so much pleasure—ungloved and coming inside her. The sensation, the intensity…there were no words. Even now he was growing hard just from the memory. No, that definitely had not been their problem. The issue, he feared, was emotional. And the struggle to synch Pen's body with her mind was going to be a challenge. Question was, could he do it? Because he was starting to wonder if his efforts wouldn't be fought at every turn.
Something in her past had broken her. He didn't know what, how, or by whom, but her reaction to him earlier left little doubt in his mind. And even the possibility that she'd been abused—physical?—sexually?—filled him with such protective rage, a part of him almost feared discovering the truth. But how could he be the glue to help mend her broken pieces if he couldn't figure out how they fit back together? She was a puzzle, a complex enigma he wanted to solve because deep down he knew the prize would be her heart.
Pen shook her head, looking utterly and completely lost. "I don't know, Kyle. This isn't supposed to be real. And it scares me that you're changing the rules."
"And you didn't change the rules when you climbed into my bed? What the fuck was that about, then? You think because you made them, you can break them without consequence? Or is it because I fuck around that you think you get a pass—that this means nothing to me."
