The baffled tube holds 14 oz. of mercury, which raises the length of time that the shot's impulse is spread across, thus lowering felt recoil. * Chamber Empty button: on the forend, allows unloading of unfired shell without releasing additional shells from the magazine. Recoil reducer Recoil without the internal reducer is very harsh using the 3.5 inch shells. The shotgun is very light due to its composite/steel construction. This light weight shotgun lends itself to heavy recoil using heavy loads with high velocities. The recoil reducer helps reduce the felt recoil and allows the shooter to obtain a faster second shot. The recoil reducer consists of two elements; the apparatus that connects to the stock via the buttstock compartment, and the mercury element that is inserted into the recoil apparatus. This unit is available as a kit for installation in regular Nova shotguns as well.

"Lake Park, a mile-long park on a bluff above Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is an urban park covering . Design Lake Park was designed in the late 19th century by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed Central Park in New York City along with many others. Believing that access to nature had a civilizing and restorative effect on the urban public, Olmsted designed Lake Park in the Romantic tradition, with a preference for natural (over formal) landscaping, winding paths, a variety of vistas, incorporation of wildlife, and a balance between active recreation and more passive enjoyment. With Description Lake Park in 1890. Historic North Point Lighthouse at horizon. Covering on the shore of Lake Michigan, the park is part of a mostly contiguous stretch of lakefront amenities that extend north from Milwaukee's downtown, including Bradford Beach, various parks, McKinley Marina, and the Milwaukee Art Museum. The park terrain includes both bluffs and ravines. In addition, Lake Park is home to the last remaining Indian mound in the city of Milwaukee. The others were destroyed by early settlers of the city and surrounding area. It also contains the North Point Lighthouse, which was built in 1855. A 6-hole golf course was built in 1903, expanding to 18 holes in 1930. History In July 2016, Lake Park became a popular location for Poké- Stops in the game Pokémon Go. In August 2016, the Milwaukee County Parks Department asked Niantic to remove the game stops until a permit was received, in compliance with a county ordinance.

"Fred Sherman (January 7, 1924 – September 12, 2009) was an American economist, businessman and business commentator based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sherman broadcast as a business commentator on KYW News Radio for more than 25 years until his retirement in January 2009 due to budget cuts at the station. He was known to radio and television audiences for his trademark sign-off, "I'm Fred Sherrrrrman." Sherman was born in Brooklyn, New York, to parents, Nathan and Eva (née Josephthal) Sherman. His father owned a candy store, while his mother was a teacher. He graduated from Washington Heights High School in the Manhattan and took courses at New York University, but did not earn a degree from NYU. He would later enroll at Temple University. Sherman enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II, and served in the 82d Airborne Army Rangers. Sherman flew missions over Nazi-occupied France before and after the 1944 D-Day Invasion. Sherman considered becoming a journalist following World War II, but began working at his father-in-law's furniture business instead. He left the furniture business when he was 60 years old and obtained his stockbroker's license the same year. He eventually became the chief economist for both Sovereign Bank and Royal Bank America, which is based in Narberth, Pennsylvania. Sherman became involved with radio as a business commentator during the 1980s. Sherman contacted Don Lancer, the business and financial editor of KYW 1060 radio, noting that the station's coverage of financial news was dull. Sherman told Lancer that he could make KYW's coverage more lively and entertaining. Sherman was hired by Lancer after an audition. He used humor, irreverence and wit to reach his audiences. Sherman was known for his trademark, elongated sign-off, "I'm Fred Sherrrrrman", at the end of his commentaries. He began saying his name that way after hearing another reporter use the same speaking style. The sign-off, which earned Sherman both praise and criticism, made Sherman into a local celebrity in the Philadelphia region. Sherman remained as a business commentator at KYW for twenty-five years, until KYW cut his commentaries in January 2009, citing financial constraints. Sherman also appeared on The Money Show on WPEN and contributed weekly television business segments to the Sunday morning news on WCAU NBC 10. Fred Sherman, a resident of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, died on September 12, 2009, at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia at the age of 85. Sherman had suffered from several health problems, including kidney ailments, and injuries from a car accident several weeks before his death may have contributed to his declining health. He suffered the car accident shortly after returning from a trip to Europe in July 2009, and had been hospitalized on several occasions since the accident. Sherman was survived by his longtime fiancee, Diane Williams. The couple had met 17 years prior to his death when Williams approached Sherman for financial advice at one of his speeches. He was also survived by his son, David Sherman. Another of his sons, Henry Sherman, died in 2000.
