By Michael A. DeDonno Ph. D
As a part-time day trader, I was finding reasonable success in the current market. However, on May 6 the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its biggest intraday loss in 20 years. This sudden decline put me on an emotional rollercoaster causing me to make poor buying and selling decisions for the remainder of that day. In effect I was on tilt.
In 2006, a French soccer player head-butted his opponent in response to extended taunting. The French player was subsequently ejected from the game and soon after the French team lost the World Cup title to Italy. As poker players, we have all experienced bad beats and sometimes even unexpected big wins. In reality, going on tilt can happen in any competitive situation. It’s virtually impossible to eliminate the emotional responses caused by a tilt event. Therefore we must take the time to better understand what’s happening within our bodies and develop specific techniques to minimize the emotional effects of the tilt event.
The Mayo Clinic highlights various physiological responses to stress, including increased heart rate, loss of focus, restlessness and irritability. In any competitive situation these factors can have a negative effect on performance. When we think about stress, it’s generally thought of as a result of a negative event. For example, stress certainly is felt when we lose a job, struggle with our finances, argue with a loved one or lose a monster hand in a poker game. The latter event is synonymous with “going on tilt.” However, research has shown the physiological feelings of stress can be felt during positive events. It’s not uncommon to experience increased heart rate and a loss of focus when we get offered a big promotion at work, are welcomed at our own surprise birthday party, or win a monster hand at a poker table. Researchers have demonstrated this change in physiology alters our decision-making strategies. In most competitive situations, a deviation from a planned strategy can have negative consequences.
Tilt is generally limited to poker, and despite its definition consistently being aligned with the game it’s never been accepted into mainstream dictionaries or other competitive activities. In Super System, Doyle Brunson said tilt is “When a player starts playing bad (loses his composure), usually after losing one or more big pots, he’s said to be on tilt.” However, tilt can be more generally defined for competitive activity as any unexpected event that causes a significant change in our physiology. This definition also allows tilt to serve as the opposing effect of being “in the zone.” Athletes often use the phrase “in the zone” as a mental state whereby they’re fully immersed in a zone of focus resulting in optimum performance.
It’s no surprise to any poker player that researchers have found negative events cause a change in behavior. After a big loss (or series of losses), individuals have a tendency to become more risk-seeking. This behavior is thought to be due in part to the break-even effect. Individuals who experience a big loss quickly try to regain the lost money hoping to get back to at least a break-even point. Researchers also have found behavior changes after a positive event, such as a big win (or a series of wins). In some instances individuals become more risk-seeking (e.g., more loose or aggressive).
This behavior has been termed the “house-money effect.” Fundamentally, this effect occurs as the individual views the winnings as house money and becomes looser with the money. Conversely during a big win, individuals may become more conservative. This is due to what A.M. Isen called the “mood maintenance hypothesis” in 1987’s Advances in Experimental Social Psychology.
Essentially, individuals become more conservative to maintain the positive feelings from the win. In each of these scenarios, the underlying factor is a change in decision-making. So why does this change occur? The answer in part comes from our physiology.
During a moment of stress, your body signals the adrenal glands, small glands located above each kidney, to release cortisol. Initially, the release of cortisol prepares the body for the stressful event. It dilates your pupils, increases blood flow in the muscles of our limbs and liberates sugar and fat in our body to be used as fuel, to fight an enemy or run from a predator. This is commonly termed the “fight or flight” response. Unfortunately research has shown cortisol to have negative effects on such things as cognitive performance and digestion.
As a result of these negative consequences, cortisol has been popularized as the stress hormone. The feelings felt upon the release of cortisol include a heightened state of arousal, anxiety and altered awareness. These feelings are common during a tilt event.
So, after the release of cortisol, how do we bring ourselves back to a comfortable state of mind? There are several techniques that can be performed at the poker table. The first activity is to breathe. We have a tendency to stop breathing during stressful moments. Oxygen aids in blood circulation, which aids in bringing cortisol levels back to normal.
Another effective technique is a form of cognitive therapy. Remind yourself poker’s a game of probabilities and any outcome can occur at any time. If you made a bad decision, remind yourself that mistakes will occur and accept it as a lesson learned. This aids in accepting the event and moving forward. Another technique is expressing your immediate emotions.
Research has shown suppressing emotions can impair cognitive performance. Expressing your emotions does not mean having a temper tantrum at the table, but a quick release of emotional feelings. This may include a verbal “sigh” or some other action that expels the emotional energy. If these actions do not bring you back to a normalized state, it may be necessary to take a break from the table. Taking a brisk walk will increase circulation and help bring cortisol levels back to normal. Another technique that can help is throwing cold water on your face. The mammalian diving reflex has shown that cold water on the face optimizes respiration and reduces heart rate 10-25 percent, which can lower anxiety and blood pressure.
In addition to immediate actions, it’s important to maintain a stress management program. This ongoing program should include exercise, a healthy diet, reducing caffeine and sugar, avoiding alcohol, cigarettes and drugs and getting enough sleep. Always remember poker players are competitors and as a result need to take a holistic view of their abilities, including mind and body.

A new study has highlighted the acute financial burden on carers amidst the cost-of-living crisis, with 41% saying they are struggling financially.
Concerned about the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on its members, Network, providers of discount schemes for 2.7 million key workers including carers commissioned research to understand the effect of the enormous pressures facing carers in the current climate.
The research has found that 41% of carers are in financial difficulty and describe their financial situation as either; ‘making ends meet, but no more’; ‘falling a little behind, relying a bit on credit’: or ‘a very difficult situation-heavily in debt’.
Aaron, a carer, said, ‘I have cut out completely any treats this month to make sure I can pay bills at the end of the month… I am afraid to spend on anything which is not essential.’
Network is calling on policymakers to make key workers more aware of the availability of discount schemes so that carers, are able to take advantage of the additional helping hand that these schemes provide.
Discount schemes also have the additional benefit of boosting morale at a crucial time when recruitment and retention are among the biggest challenges facing the care sector.
Commenting on the pressures faced at work, carer Ewan said: ‘I have often wondered what would happen if I said I cannot cope with this anymore! … I am sure I won't last until retirement age with the current workload and stress I feel.’
Significantly, the research reveals that 91% of key workers who have access to one of Network’s discount schemes have a better quality of life and save an average of over £2,200 a year. The study also shows the impact of discount schemes on recruitment and retention, with 46% saying they feel more loyal to their role and 37% are more likely to recommend their workplace to others.
A carer, Suzy, added, ‘The impact of the discounts gives me peace of mind, which is good for my wellbeing and quality of life and alleviates the worry of the cost of items which I do need to purchase.’
Storm Postlethwaite, Managing Director of Network, said, ‘Our key workers make an extraordinary and invaluable contribution to the country every day, and yet many are faced with financial hardship and increasing pressures due to workforce shortages and the cost-of-living crisis.
‘While times are tough, it is vital that we offer a helping hand to relieve some of the pressures and provide some additional reward and support. Discount schemes are an important way in which we can achieve this and show our appreciation. We are therefore calling on the Government to ensure that employers are aware of the schemes available to help their staff cope with the cost-of-living crisis.’

Can you tell if meat is bad after cooking?
Does cooked spoiled meat taste bad?
What Does Bad Steak Taste Like? While it isn’t recommended to check for spoiled steak by tasting, meat that has gone bad will have a rancid taste. If your steak tastes extremely sour or bitter, it’s definitely gone bad.
Can you cook slightly spoiled meat?
Cooking the spoiled meat will kill bacteria on the cooked surface the same way it would in unspoiled meat. However you will probably not like the taste of spoiled meat. Not true. Pathogens encountered in regular raw meat thrive just as well when it’s spoiled.
Does cooking spoiled food make it safe?
If the food has spoiled due to botulism, there is not much you can do to make sure it is safe. You may be able to kill the bacteria and destroy toxin directly in the food by prolonged heating (at least according to the USDA fact sheet below), but even so the spores of the bacteria are heat resistant.
What happens if you eat spoiled cooked food?
“If you do eat a food past the expiration date [and the food] is spoiled, you could develop symptoms of food poisoning,” said registered dietitian nutritionist Summer Yule, MS. The symptoms of foodborne illness can include fever, chills, stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Is it OK to eat meat that smells a little?
Perform a smell test
Though the scent of fresh ground beef is barely perceptible, rancid meat has a tangy, putrid odor. Once it goes bad, it’s no longer safe to eat. The scent changes due to the increased growth of spoilage bacteria, such as Lactobacillus spp.
How long after eating spoiled meat will I get sick?
The time it takes food poisoning symptoms to start can vary. Illness often starts in about 1 to 3 days. But symptoms can start any time from 30 minutes to 3 weeks after eating contaminated food. The length of time depends on the type of bacteria or virus causing the illness.
How can you tell when meat is spoiled?
Spoiled meat will have a distinct, pungent smell that will make your face scrunch up. Texture – In addition to an unpleasant scent, spoiled meats can be sticky or slimy to the touch. Color – Rotten meats will also undergo a slight change in color.
How can you tell if cooked meat is bad?
One of the signs of spoilage in cooked meats is an off, rancid odor. If your meat smells unpleasant or offensive, it’s likely spoiled and you should discard it. Icky odors are caused by the gasses emitted by microbes breaking down the meat and feeding on the proteins, fats and carbohydrates contained in it.
Why is spoiled food harmful?
Exposure to dangerous bacteria
Food poisoning could be mild or severe, but sometimes, contracting food poisoning can expose you to dangerous bacteria or toxins, including Listeria, Campylobacter enteritis, Cholera, E. … “Microorganisms such as molds, yeasts, and bacteria can multiply and cause food to spoil.
Does cooked meat smell bad?
Many types of spoiled meat will exhibit a soured smell when cooking. Spoiled meat also tends to have a slimy and dull finish to it, and may have discoloration on its surface. However, other spoilage bacteria will present no visible clues.
What happens if you eat something rotten?
Foodborne illness, more commonly referred to as food poisoning, is the result of eating contaminated, spoiled, or toxic food. The most common symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Although it’s quite uncomfortable, food poisoning isn’t unusual.

Kassel. As Managing Director, Dr. Frank Voßloh has been head of Sales at Viessmann Deutschland GmbH in Allendorf, in the German state of Hesse, for around five years. In an interview he provides an insight into how the mid-sized company is driving forward the energy transition in the boiler room.
The costs for the energy transition keep on rising. That’s a burden not only on private citizens, but also on companies. How can companies meet this challenge?
Starting from the mid-2000s, the Viessmann Group reviewed all its processes, in particular in manufacturing, increased energy efficiency, replaced fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, and switched to “green energy” from German hydroelectric power. As a result, we thus managed at our corporate headquarters in Allendorf (Eder) to meet the energy and climate policy targets that Germany set itself for 2050 as early as 2012, and reduced CO2 emissions, for example, by 80 percent in the process. The costs of this “Efficiency Plus” project, which we implemented as part of our sustainability strategy, amount to more than 200 million euros, although we have already achieved payback in the form of avoided energy purchases.
What, in your view, is the most efficient option for driving the energy transition in the boiler room at home?
The fact is that over two thirds of the 21 million heat generators installed in Germany are completely outdated and waste energy unnecessarily. Our aim is to clear the renovation backlog in the boiler room. If we could leverage this efficiency potential, we could theoretically save as much energy as all the German nuclear power plants produce together. With our comprehensive product range for all sources of energy and all types of application, we offer tailored solutions to anyone running such a system.
Germany aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 80 percent by 2050. What role will conventional energies still play then?
The significance of conventional energies will have to decline if we are to meet the ambitious political climate targets. However, due to its low CO2 emissions compared with coal and oil, natural gas is certainly in the best position to remain with us for a long time to come. Our Vitovalor 300-P fuel cell heater, which produces heat and power at the same time, shows that even appliances based on natural gas are highly innovative and that the potential of new technologies is far from exhausted.
Your company, the Viessmann Group, and WINGAS GmbH signed a sales and marketing cooperation agreement at E-world in Essen at the beginning of 2017. What does Viessmann hope to achieve through this partnership, and what are its specific objectives?
The aim of our cooperation is to reinforce the perception of natural gas as a source of energy among the general public. Natural gas is of key importance, particularly in the building sector, since it is used by two out of three heat generators. Working together, we will therefore exploit sales synergies to also target customers in the commercial and industrial sector. And, of course, we also want to continue to convince private customers of the future potential of the fuel for the heating market. In particular, we have also started to jointly support external projects in the new buildings sector and to promote innovative natural gas technology in existing buildings. Financial subsidies are available for this purpose, a wide range of contracting schemes and additional extended warranties, e.g. for futuristic fuel cells for the combined production of heat and power.

I agree with the distinction of "errors" between "fighter plane" and
"fighter sub", but I am not sure the former is, stricktly speaking, an
error. If it is, it must be rather pervasive.
Consider the first line of the Wiki article for "strike fighter":
"A strike fighter is an American designation for a Fighter-bomber. A
multi-role capable combat aircraft set up to operate primarily in the
tactical bombing role. In the UK, the strike role refers to that of an
aircraft delivering nuclear payloads."
For one, aside from the traditional strategic bombers that carry
massive nuclear payloads, the majority of contemporary aircraft are
designed for fighting capacity--hence the F designation. Here, Wiki on
F-117 also helps directly:
"The operational aircraft had the official designation of
"F-117A". Most modern U.S. military aircraft use post-1962
designations in which the designation "F" is usually an air-to-air
fighter, "B" is usually a bomber, "A" is usually a ground-attack
aircraft, etc. (Examples include the F-15, the B-2, and the A-6.) The
F-117 is primarily a ground-attack aircraft so its "F" designation is
The same cannot be said about F-22 (just discontinued, having
initially replaced F-117 and F-117A, and leaving the official FB-22
designation in mothballs) and F-35 (mired in delays and budget
overruns, but intended to replace F-22)--these are considered
combination aircraft or what the British military routinely designates
as FB (in contrast with G or GR for "ground attack"). Given the lack
of the B designation (e.g., B-1 and B-2) for most current military
aircraft, the error is understandable. And the jargon for these seems
to be "fighter", as "fighter-bomber" is more unwieldy and just
"bomber" slowly slips into oblivion.
The use of "fighter" for sub is, of course, non-standard. But to refer
to the U-boat in question as "attack sub" would also be contrary to
current practice--like British use of "attack" and "strike" in
reference to aircraft, from I've been able to tell, "attack sub"
refers to the larger contemporary subs that are capable of carrying
nuclear payloads, not merely to any sub that's capable of a torpedo
attack. Come to think of it, the English-speaker practice of refering
only to German WWI and WWII submarines as U-boats is just as silly as
calling them "fighter subs"--AFAIK U-boot is the generic German term
for all submarines. On the other hand, the term might be a bit more
than a calque--the WWI and WWII subs were all designated U-##, so the
name might have been derived from that rather than from the German
term. I suppose, we'll never know.
This leads to an interesting terminological error in the 2000 film
U-571. The US sub crew distinguishes between "U-boats" and the German
"supply sub" that brings engine parts to the disabled U-571. At no
time in the film is the "supply sub" referred to as a "U-boat". Of
course, the entire film is completely ahistorical, as the plot is
closer to the *British* capture of the U-110 in 1941 and not to the
*US Navy* capture of U-505 in 1944. (U-571 was sunk with all hands in
1944 and was never captured.)

Open data for COVID-19 map
To illustrate the spreading and emerging situation for the Corona-virus, we integrated the open data available on the global maps.
Originally there were two data sets compared: confirmed and active cases on one hand and and recovered and unfortunate death cases on the other. The data will be updating on a daily basis, and it gives a good view to compare the cases between areas.
The data source of John Hopkins after the 27th March no longer included the recovered numbers because of difficulty acquiring reliable info. Therefore the numbers after that were estimated based on data from Hubei China.
We also erased the other layer of recovered vs. death cases, and the coronavirus map is clearer to interpret now. Some of the points of interest have been combined, e.g. the US situation is visualized in one bubble entity.
For the details, please have a look at the Info of the map.
How to get introduced to the map?
and click open any of the bubble for the detailed information.
How does the timeline develop?
The exponential curves can be found in each of the country one by one. After two months, the active and confirmed cases have flatten in Hubei, China, which had been the starting point of the epidemic. The epidemic wave had reached its peak. Some countries, like Finland, follow a bit late, but the disinfectant curve seems to be alike.
The colors of the curves relate to the bubble on the map. If you want to check out the timeline of the confirmed cases, just follow the red timeline.
Open data on COVID19 map
The global data combined by the John Hopkins University from medical hubs around the world and published by GitHub data repository for further use.
The data will updated on a daily basis, and the exact numbers of cases may be a day behind from the national authorities announcements.
Data from github.com COVID-19
Coronavirus comparison on map
The coronavirus situation is evolving at different pace in different countries, and to illustrate this variation in the country-by- country perspective, the figures can now be compared in relatively different order of magnitude.
By comparing the data, the information brought to the map gives a quick picture of the situation and illustrates the progression of the COVID-19 virus and its impact on the population.
Citynomadi is now a Climate Sponsor!
Naturally the globe and nature are close to our hearts. Now there are 50 trees planted in Central Finland, sponsored by Citynomadi. You can also help your own way.

The FDA has approved the subcutaneously injected PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9) inhibitor alirocumab (Praluent – Sanofi/Regeneron) as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy for adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) or clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who require additional lowering of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) (Box). It was not approved for general use in statin-intolerant patients. Alirocumab is the first PCSK9 inhibitor to be approved in the US. Evolocumab (Repatha – Amgen), another PCSK9 inhibitor, was recently approved in Europe and has been recommended for approval for the same indications in the US by an FDA Advisory Committee.

In an escalating war of words, a senior Iranian military official has said it is Iran's "inalienable and legal right to confront and destroy terrorists' dens in any depths of the neighboring country's soil, in case the Pakistani government takes no serious measure."
The statement comes days after the Iranian Chief of Army Staff warned of launching attacks against terrorist 'safe havens' operating along the Pak-Iran border.
Speaking to an Iranian news agency Fars, Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Army, Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan expressed his regret on what he observed was Pakistan's inability to curb terrorism.
"Unfortunately, the regions adjacent to Iran's eastern borders have turned into a shelter and place for training, preparing and equipping the terrorists who are mercenaries of Saudi Arabia and are supported by the US," he said.
Explore: Balancing act
On April 27, ten Iranian border guards were killed by militants in an ambush along the Sistan-Balochistan province. Iran said Jaish-al-Adl, a militant group, had shot the guards with long-range guns, fired from inside Pakistan.
Deepening the rift between the two neighbours, the Iranian police, in a statement carried on Iranian state media said “the Pakistani government bears the ultimate responsibility of the attack”.
The head of the Iranian armed forces then warned Islamabad that Tehran would hit bases inside Pakistan if the government does not confront militants who carry out cross-border attacks.
Pakistan's foreign office, which had expressed grief over the violent incident, today, summoned the Iranian ambassador to formally register its protest against the statement issued by Iran's army chief over the possibility of carrying out military strikes on Pakistani soil.
However, Iranian military officials seem adamant that Pakistan's role in maintaining peace along its border requires much more attention and vigilance.
“I ask the government of friendly and neighboring Pakistan, which this blind and cowardly act has taken place on their side of border, to take a responsible step and identify, introduce and punish members of the terrorist and Takfiri groups, who are behind this crime, as soon as possible," the brigadier said.
In 2014, Iran warned it would send troops to Pakistan to retrieve five Iranian border guards kidnapped by Jaish al Adl.
Pakistan said at the time that such action would be a violation of international law and warned Iranian forces not to cross the border.
Iran refrained from sending troops when a local cleric stepped in and resolved the situation.
Four of the guards were released a few months later, but one was killed by the militants.
Jaish al Adl is a militant group that has carried out several attacks against Iranian security forces with the aim of highlighting what they say is discrimination against minority groups in Iran.
The group claimed responsibility for attacks that killed eight border guards in April 2015 and 14 border guards in October 2013.

IPL 2020 Live Score, KKR vs CSK Live Cricket Score Streaming Online Updates: MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings would hope to maintain the momentum against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League clash on Wednesday.
IPL 2020, KKR vs CSK Live Cricket Score Online Updates: After enduring a setback in the initial stages, MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings are finally getting back on track and would hope to maintain the same momentum against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League clash on Wednesday. The team secured a resounding victory against Kings XI Punjab with their star opener Shane Watson finding some form of late.
Their opponent Kolkata Knight Riders too have had a decent outing with two wins in four matches. However, they will enter the contest on the back of defeat and will take this opportunity to overturn their fortunes. Stay tuned for all the updates from this contest.
IPL 2020, KKR vs CSK Live Cricket Score Online:
Sunil Narine has looked woefully out of sorts, managing only 27 runs from four matches at 87.09 strike rate. Is it time to rope in BBL sensation Tom Banton in place of the Windies cricketer?
Facing criticism for a below par show despite having a star-studded line up, skipper Dinesh Karthik needs some quick soul searching to find answers in the clash tonight.
The team acquired England’s World Cup-winning skipper Eoin Morgan but the KKR management, reposed confidence in Karthik and asked him to lead the side. However, a few of his baffling decisions apart from his own poor run with the bat — 37 runs from four matches — has put the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman in the line of fire.
Promoting himself ahead of the star duo of Morgan and Andre Russell and preferring Sunil Narine in the opening slot over Big Bash sensation Tom Banton — who has been compared with Kevin Pietersen — has put 35-year-old Karthik in the dock.
Hello and welcome to the LIVE COVERAGE of the Indian Premier League match between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. The match is crucial for both the sides, considering their form in the ongoing campaign. Both the teams are stuggling to finish games, but CSK did reflect the heavyweight tag in their previous encounter. The team secured a 10-win wicket and will be high on confidence. KKR, on the other hand, are entering the contest on the back of a defeat and would look to overturn their fortune in the clash tonight. Stay tuned for LIVE UPDATES!
What’s the head-to-head record?
The two teams have faced each other 20 times so far, with CSK holding a 13-7 head-to-head win/loss record over KKR. Chennai beat Kolkata in both the clashes last edition, and Imran Tahir put up standout performances (2/21 and 4/27) in the two matches.

I am planning to shift to the hills permanently in the next few years. No, its not only got to do with my love for the Himalayas but the ever increasing pollution levels in urban cities. We all know the air quality levels in NCR and I have seen the side effects first hand. Our bodies need ‘clean air’ and the long term damages of poor air quality can lead to problems of varies levels. While this has also invented the air purifier industry in India, I was particularly looking for a good car air purifier as I end up spending 3-4 hours on the road on an average.
The Moonbow car air purifier came to the rescue last month. Launched at Rs 6,990 a while back, I have used this in various cars – from the big XUV to the little Beat. It goes about doing its duties silently, slowly converting the poor air inside your car into clean and pure one. All you need to do is plug it into your car’s 12V power outlet.
The Moonbow car air purifier can easily cover an area of 15-20 square feet. The company claims it can remove upto 99% of bacteria, dust, odor and mold. If you use this on a long term basis, even removing the upper filter is an easy job. So how does this work? There are four steps involved here:
- The pre-filter traps large particles such as human hair strands, pet dander and even dust particles
- The carbon filter then neutralizes the odor
- The HEPA filter inside removes microscopic particles as small as 0.3 microns – these include fine dust and pollen.
- Finally, the Energizer releases more than 12 million negative ions/cc to improve the air quality inside the car by combining with dust or reacting with odor molecules.
The Moonbow car air purifier can easily be installed behind the headrest of the co-driver seat. However, as I use different cars at home, I usually keep it on the co-driver seat itself. This device has a big visible indicator which has various light colors as per the air quality:
- Red means the air contains a lot of harmful substances.
- Blue means the air quality is average and can be improved.
- Green means the quality of air is very good.
Another feature I love is the almost ‘touch’ like button for turning it ON or OFF as visible in this quick video:

With 60-point underdog Savannah State on tap for Saturday Hurricanes coach Al Golden figures to get plenty of his young players some work this week. But who will Golden and his staff try to keep out of the game to keep them on target for a redshirt at season's end?
"We're trying to hold [fullback] Walter Tucker, [cornerback] Ray Lewis, [offensive lineman] Sunny [Odogwu] and [quarterback] Kevin Olsen," Golden said Wednesday after another soggy practice in Coral Gables. "Obviously [offensive lineman] Hunter Knighton is out [with an injury] so we're redshirting him. We're playing [receiver] Stacy [Coley], [tight end] Stan [Dobard], [running back] Gus [Edwards], [offensive lineman Alex] Gall and I think everybody else has a role."
The Hurricanes added 14 high school seniors and prep school players to their roster in their last recruiting class and two junior college signees. So far the four Golden mentioned targeted for redshirts and Gall are the only players who haven't seen playing time yet.
"This will be his first go," Golden said. "We've been spending two weeks getting him ready for this. We realized we didn't have enough depth to push through the season after the opener. We've been pushing Alex for the last 2 1/2 weeks. He'll be ready for his opportunity this weekend."
As good as it feels to get a few kids redshirted to help build depth, Golden says the Canes "aren't out of the woods yet."
"As you guys have indicated many times, our scholarship numbers are not where they need to be," Golden said. "Therefore were not as deep as we want to be at all positions. But we can afford to redshirt some guys and I feel like we are building depth. But we got to be careful. It can't be a fool's gold depth.
"We got to understand that on the d-line we're top heavy. And we need help quickly. We need help at mid-year at that position for instance. Wide receiver we have on scholarship and we have six healthy. That's a bad number. We need help at wide out. I can go on down the line, but those are the two areas in addition to the offensive line I think you guys know are really focal points for us in recruiting right now."
MORE NEWS AND NOTES
> Golden, who missed Tuesday's press conference because he was feeling ill according to UM, said Wednesday he was feeling better. "I hope my energy [is contagious] but nothing else," he quipped.
> Safety Deon Bush, who said Tuesday he was still feeling sore, apparently was checked again medically on Monday, Golden said, and obviously cleared to continue practice. Bush had off-season sports hernia surgery and hasn't played yet, but is hoping to get in on Saturday.
"Good week so far," Golden said. "We doubled back and made sure medically that he was really good on Monday just to make sure he felt good and had piece of mind. He's really had a good week. I'm anxious to see Deon continue to get better this week and get his conditioning where it needs to be and move forward."
> Even though his team is a heavy favorite this weekend, Golden said the focus he keeps stressing to players is self improvement. He said there was plenty Florida exposed to keep UM busy the past two weeks. As for bench marks he would like to see the offense hit -- 45 percent conversions on third down and 80 percent scoring on red-zone visits.
> Of facing an FCS Tigers team this week, Golden said: "There is a big disparity going from an SEC opponent to this week. What I'm trying to teach is that it really doesn't what the other team does. At the end of the day it's about us executing."
Golden said the fact Miami is even playing Savannah State is just part of the "system we live in right now."
"Nobody was sending us sympathy cards last year when we played three of our first four on the road at Manhattan [Kansas] and at Soldier [Field in Chicago]," Golden said. "That's the system we're in. I would like for it all to be uniform. I'm sure most coaches would also. Right now all I care about is getting each individual player better."

Brazil’s newest hero will be expected to shoulder the expectations of millions this summer.
As hosts, the Selecao will be expected to win their sixth FIFA World Cup despite the fact that this team led by Luiz Felipe Scolari is far from special.
That may be a harsh assessment of a side which just convincingly won the 2013 Confederations Cup—seen as a dry run in South America for next summer’s spectacle—but man-for-man, this XI is nowhere close to the glories of old.
Scolari knows this, and in turn, he’s built a Brazilian side around their precocious, awe-inspiring talent. Neymar operates in a free role from the left-hand side of the Selecao’s system, with striker Fred deployed to detract attention and create room for his countryman to work in.
The Barcelona trickster has pace, quick feet, an eye for goal and a stunning pass, so keep your eyes peeled whenever he gets on the ball in the final third.

Port St Lucie Real Estate Market Report
Port St Lucie Home Sales 1st Quarter 2015
The Port St Lucie home sales market report compiled by the Florida Association of Realtors shows a $30,000 increase in Median Sales Price in Q-1 of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
The Median sales price for homes sold in Port St Lucie in 2015 was $165,000 while in 2016 the median is registered at $195,000. Other noteworthy figures in this report were both the Median Time to Contract and Median Time to Sale. The 47 days for Median Time to Contract of sold homes in Port St Lucie indicates a healthy real estate market with homes going under contract well below the 60 days threshold. The Median Time to Sale , on the other hand, portrays a bigger picture.
The 47 days for Median Time to Contract of sold homes in Port St Lucie indicates a healthy real estate market with homes going under contract well below the 60 days threshold. The Median Time to Sale , on the other hand, portrays a bigger picture. The significance of this numbers remains in the anticipated effects of closing time after the enactment of the Consumer Protection Act, or as otherwise known Dodd-Frank Act, in October of 2015. The well-publicized changes had a noticeable effect on the mortgage industry, which created the discussion of prolonged closing periods.
The Q1 Median Time to Sell in 2016 proved otherwise by dropping to 95 days from 96 days in the same quarter the previous year or -1%. the first 47 days from the 95 days was allocated to marketing and only the last 48 days was contributed to the closing process. This is while the cash sales, which reduces the necessary time for closing was down -27% from the first quarter of 2015.
The $30,000, or +18.2% increase in Median Sale Price of homes sold in Port St Lucie in the first quarter of 2016 is another wake-up call for the buyers who are still waiting to purchase a home in port St Lucie since last year. This is while the buyers who did purchase a home have created an equity of $35,940 with Median Price of $195,000. This trend is here to stay for a while.
In conclusion, the upward trend is here to stay for a while and if remains in the same pace it would reward over $70,000 to the lucky home buyers in Port St Lucie who purchased during the first quarter of 2015 or over $35,000 to the buyers who purchased their homes in the first quarter of 2016. With interest still at historically low rates and great for sale home prices in Port St Lucie, this prediction seems to be on the target.
Please contact us for more information and a detailed reports on quarterly sales for single family home, townhomes and villas in St Lucie, Martin and Palm Beach counties.

LORDSTOWN,, Ohio -- General Motors is investing $50 million for a new flexible trim shop and upgrades to the press room at the Lordstown Complex to support production of the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze compact sedan.
Some construction work has begun at the complex, the company said in its announcement. Chevrolet will announce timing of the next generation Cruze later.
“This investment will enhance our customer responsiveness while providing our team with the tools and processes needed to be the best at building the next generation Cruze,” said Bob Parcell, Lordstown plant manager.
Separately, UAW Locals 1112 and 1714 announced they are purchasing the
1-millionth Cruze, which was built April 10 at Lordstown. The milestone Cruze, a hot red LT model with RS package, will be raffled to a Lordstown employee with all proceeds of the raffle donated to local charities.
“We want to thank our team members at Lordstown for their dedication and commitment to Cruze and we want to thank our million plus customers across North America and our Chevrolet dealers for their support and enthusiasm for this great car,” said UAW Local 1112 President Glenn Johnson and UAW Local 1714 President Robert Morales in a joint statement.
The Chevrolet Cruze for North America was launched at Lordstown Sept. 8, 2010. Since then, Cruze has become GM’s best-selling car and was the seventh best-selling car in the U.S. through March this year.
In 2013, Lordstown launched the all-new Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel, which offers the best highway mileage of any gas-only or diesel engine in America and was recently named by diesel enthusiasts as the Diesel Car of the Year for 2013.
Since 2009, GM has invested approximately $250 million at Lordstown. The complex has built more than 15 million vehicles since opening in April 1966.

It is no longer anything new that Kanye West is located at the center of various controversies.
This time, his situation has worsened if possible, since he has made such sensitive statements that his Twitter account has even been suspended. The rapper, also known as Ye, has stated during a commercial break for the program “Inowars”, by the American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, that he likes the figure of Adolf Hitler , which joins his previous and numerous accusations in against him for antisemitism. “I love the Jews, but I also love the Nazis,” he said in the interview.
During the meeting, Jones asked West about the controversial actions of the American artist, who lost his contract with Adidas for comments that the company called “unacceptable, hateful and dangerous.” In this sense, the presenter has assured that Ye “is neither Hitler nor a Nazi”, after which the rapper has taken the floor. “From this guy (Hitler) who invented the highways and invented the same microphone that I use as a musician, you can’t say out loud that he ever did anything good and I’m sick of it. I have tired of the classifications ”, he has expressed. ” There are many things I like about Hitler. Many things ”, Ye continued during his speech in“ Infowars ”.
Subsequently, he explained that “every human being has something of value”, “especially Hitler”. Elsewhere in the interview, the host is heard arguing that “most Jews are great people,” though he agrees that there is a “Jewish mafia.” ” I don’t like the word ‘evil’ next to (that of) the Nazis ,” the rapper has also said. “I love the Jews, but I also love the Nazis,” he added, after which Jones laughed, according to Billboard magazine.
Since his Infowars website was founded in 1999, Jones, who is a radio presenter, has had a large following. Among the conspiracy theories he has promoted is that the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington were organized by the government.Just clarifying that his account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering pic of me being hosed by Ari.
The suspension of the rapper’s Twitter account occurred after he posted an image of a Star of David with a Nazi swastika inside, hours after his statements on the aforementioned program. It has been, in fact, Elon Musk himself who has explained how the artist has violated the rules of the social network for inciting violence: “I have done the best I could. Despite that, Kanye West has once again violated our rule against inciting violence. The account will be suspended ”, he stated.
The social network Parler has announced its decision to cancel the sale of the platform to Kanye West after the rapper’s statements about Adolf Hitler. The social network, which is used as the preferred alternative by conservatives, including some ultra-rightists in the United States, has announced its decision to abandon the purchase deal it reached with the now known as Ye, CNN has reported.
In a statement, Parler’s parent Parlement Technologies said it “has mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intended sale of Parler.” “This decision was made in the interest of both parties in mid-November. Parler will continue to look for future growth opportunities and platform evolution for our vibrant community,” he added.
The singer’s comments have prompted major brands long associated with him across his music, fashion line and businesses to cut ties, a move Ye says has cost him hundreds of millions of dollars.
Twitter has suspended his account for “inciting violence”, shortly after West confessed that “I love Jews, but I love Nazis too. There are many things I like about Hitler.”


Scores of people have been killed in Afghanistan after a NATO air strike targetted two hijacked fuel tankers. The vehicles had been taken by the Taliban but it is unclear how many insurgents and how many civilians died when the trucks exploded.¨Afghan President Hamid Karzai has condemned any civilian loss of life saying it was unacceptable. NATO has dispatched a senior team to talk to witnesses to find out what happened. The NATO attack was about 7 kilometres south west of Kunduz city in the far north of Afghanistan in the early hours local time. Earlier the fuel trucks had been reported hijacked and two of the drivers beheaded by the Taliban. While under Taliban control one tanker had become stuck in a river bed and according to some reports the Taliban were giving some of the fuel away to local families. Anyone immediately near the tankers was burned beyond recognition by the explosions.

After last night's debut, the consensus is clear: With I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! airing four nights a week for 4 weeks, viewers will be the ones begging to get out:
- Overdramatic Hills stars Spencer and Heidi Pratt “furnished most of the limited entertainment value while sending the irritation level off the charts,” writes Frazier Moore for the AP, but “the Pratts are just two people. There's little hope they can save this show.”
- The “celebrities” are actually somewhat entertaining, writes Ken Tucker for Entertainment Weekly, but the challenges—"eating disgusting things; having bugs crawl over the contestants—were the stuff of 1,000 old reality shows."
- “The first episode was a yawn,” writes Paige Wiser for the Chicago Sun-Times, but we can always hope someone has “some sort of breakdown.”
- At least the show serves as a reminder to “the 99% of the population that never watches the Hills how much richer their lives are thanks to that choice,” concludes Brian Lowry in Variety.

It gets really frustrating when feminism (or what is understood to be feminism) is forced to fit into tradition. Tradition, no matter how much this angers my male friends, is not sacrosanct, if at all such a term means anything. It is heavily biased in favour of men, the upper castes, and the landed class. For instance, what do you make of a tradition where the word for ‘husband’ (pati) just as often means ‘owner’?
Of late, a marriage between the inherently patriarchal familial tradition and feminism has been proposed. Under this deal, historically patriarchal traditions have been made to pass off as free will, and what is worse is that this allowance to exercise “free will” (as long as it conforms to patriarchal traditions) is portrayed as progressive and “feminist”.
This is the art of patriarchal doublespeak, where deference for the man and his family pass off as love, a sexist division of labor within marriages, as responsibility, and the oppressive institution of forever reinforcing stereotypes of womanhood, as the “sanctity” of the traditional Indian familial structure.
Tradition is heavily biased in favour of men, the upper castes, and the landed class.
I was checking out my Quora feed last week, when I came upon this excellent question
‘As an Indian wife, what do you wish your husband knew?’
It had an even more excellent answer. Point number 6 read:
“Your wife needs privacy and alone time occasionally. She can’t be at your /in-laws / your siblings’ service at all times.”
This sounded wrong and confusing to me. Why would a wife need basic rights like privacy and alone time only occasionally? The next part of the answer was even more muddled up. Why does she have to be in the service of her in-laws at all?
The rest of the answer had similar problems. Then, I decided to suggest edits for the answer to the original answerer, and help them put their consciousness of establishing equality in the household and between both spouses. Snippets from rest of the answer, with suggested edits, are as follows:
Your wife may or may not know cooking, which isn’t in any way related to your marriage. If she does, she obviously cannot cook like your mother, because, hey, no two people in the world cook alike. If she doesn’t, offer to teach her this very valuable life-saving skill.
Your taste and your wife’s taste will be different, because you are both grown human beings that have developed their own personalities. She will not automatically like what you like, because she is not a sentient robot whose only aim is to respond favourably to your likes and dislikes.
You should know cleaning, washing, sewing, and cooking. Your wife may not have had exposure to these exciting skills, as she may have read books, written code, or scored goals all her life. How about you offer to teach them to her too.
Your wife needs privacy and alone time whenever she desires, as she is not bonded to dedicate her life and body to the service of your family. This could come as a surprise, but she is an autonomous individual, guided by her own will. She need not be at your service at all.
And this was the brightest.
Your wife will rest as and when she pleases. It may surprise you to know that your wife is an actual human being with a brain that can make decisions for herself regarding when she wants to relax. You do not have to decide for her whether she “deserves” a day of relaxation or not.
I was barely done with the answer, when I scrolled down to the comments section. People’s responses to the answer only worsened my dilemma. A lot of people had justified the domestication of women on the grounds of convenience, and one even went so far as to say:
Which, quite brazenly, dismissed the need for any equality at home whatsoever, and aggressively asked for a “service attitude” in women:
What is disturbing is the matter-of-fact tone of such comments that don’t assume even a perfunctory agreement with the spirit of equality associated with feminism. Even the lip-service of “progressive” social media dwellers is absent here. Only an aggressive brandishing of chauvinistic male entitlement is on full display.
the undertones of the entitlement of the pampered Indian male to the services and submission of his wife are hard to miss.
Almost everyone else in the comments section pointed out how women don’t pay for household expenses and hence must not object to being forced to do household chores, when the answer to that is the domestication of women in history came much before them being considered fit enough to work and earn a living.
After men have made women feel inferior for generations, after they have denied women education and careers, after forcing women to do household work, after isolating women to the zenana – these privileged upper-class patriarchs on the internet ask why women don’t pay for household expenses.
The original Quora answer can be seen as trying to effect a change, but the undertones of the entitlement of the pampered Indian male and his family to the services and submission of his wife and her family, are hard to miss. ‘Privacy’ and ‘alone time’ are made to sound like luxuries, and being in the service of the husband’s family is presupposed here. While assuming that adapting to the husband’s family could take ages is alright – why does it have to happen at all?
Evidently, the seemingly progressive section of population wishes to achieve a bargain where the pretence of equality and freedom for women can be maintained with the highest possible level of exploitation in the household. Just like it has been at workplaces, where a semblance of parity often opens doors for rampant masked exploitation. Terms like working women, independent women, emancipated women are made out to be antagonistic to the existence of humanity. Hardly has even such a semblance been reached in the household, and the propagandists of a heteronormative system allotting roles to the sexes have already begun wailing in unison at the ruin of their happy dream of patriarchy.
Here’s to hoping there will be a time the male population realizes that this is about recognizing women as humans and not about somehow making a housewife out of a female life partner. Here’s to hoping we menfolk understand that wives have nothing to do with our families and that ‘rest’ and ‘independence’ to them mean the same as it does to us.

"McDonald further investigates county cemetery, coroner and infirmary records and is able to glean, in a catalog manner, some information on causes of death and injuries among the Japanese in Butte County from 1896 to 1913.

Late last week Capcom announced the latest addition to the blue bomber's collection of adventures with Mega Man Universe for the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 as a downloadable title, although this game seems to be a little different than past Mega Man adventures. For one, it's being completely designed and conceived by the character's creator, Keiji Inafune. Second, it's aiming for our nostalgia bones with plenty of references to past games in the series both obvious and subtle. And finally... well, just take a look at the trailer.
Yes, it appears that Mega Man Universe crosses Mega Man with other beloved Capcom properties such as Street Fighter and Ghouls 'n' Ghosts. There's a lot for old-school Mega Man fans to love in that trailer (Prop-Tops! Mets! Tellys! Cut Man!) with a promise of even more crossover elements in come. The big issue today is that nobody really seems to know what to expect from this game beyond that. Many are assuming that the trailer is representative of the art style itself, but I'm not so sure about that. The trailer was created by a team of more than fifty people from i am 8-bit Productions & Buddy System Studios and uses fully-sculpted physical objects for animation instead of digital effects. I really doubt that we're seeing anything indicative of the final game in action here. I think it's just a concept announcement and teaser. Hopefully video or screenshots of the game in action will follow shortly.

BEYOND | The New Normal of Partisanship in a Post-Truth World
As a working mother of two small boys, Emily Ashmead and her husband have had a lot to deal with over the last year. While it can be a demanding task raising a young family under normal circumstances, these past several months have created unique challenges. But it has also brought some surprising perspectives to some people, like Ashmead. Parents and non-parents alike are caught in a political spectrum that no longer revolves around a simple opinion.
Today everyone’s life seems to depend on the political affiliation of the people around them.
“The past year has been hard. I think everyone is at their wit’s end and, in turn, are making some bad decisions,” said Ashmead. “In the past, when big things happened to our country, it seemed to unite us, but this has gone completely opposite.”
She added: “I never knew a fact-based medical condition could become a problem of politics, but I was wrong. It’s been shocking and sad to see so many of my friends attack each other over what seems to be a one-sided issue.… People are getting sick and dying, so I’ll do everything I can think of to stop that from happening. People are always more important than politics to me, so doing the little things like wearing a mask or getting a shot is easy. I’m a registered independent voter, but I’m leaning more Democrat all the time because the way they handled COVID more aligns with my opinions.”
Politics is a funny thing. Between the juxtaposition of a changing world and long-standing traditions in government lies a world of ever-changing values and goals.
Some people are passionate about politics. Others hardly even pay attention. But in the end, we are all affected by politics and the effort of politicians working in our government. COVID-19 has added another slab onto the seemingly unending layers of nuance and pressure that politics involves.
After the 2016 election, matters of the state became a focus of discussion for numerous households that had never touched on the subject previously: sides were chosen, tempers flared and divisions expanded. Then COVID came, and it was like using a glass to magnify the heat of the sun.
Things were already intense because of issues related to income disparity and racial tensions. Most people were feeling frustrated and helpless before the pandemic – after, everything was that much worse.
The pandemic in and of itself is such a unique experience. Usually, significant events like natural disasters affect a portion of the people in our country. However, with COVID, everyone has been affected and all have made adjustments and sacrifices in our lives. Some have sacrificed time with their families, livelihoods and sometimes even personal safety to care for others.
Usually, during significant events, a plan is in place, precautions are taken for known dangers. For example, cordoning off areas affected in a hurricane or earthquake are cordoned off, allowing only the experts access to maintain safety. During COVID, there were no safe spaces, no experienced experts, no set plan of action. No one knew what to do or what not to do. But everyone desperately wanted someone to take charge and make things better. Many in the medical and political field stepped up to act, and lines became blurred. The government was running medicine and medicine was running the government. As a result, chaos has spread almost as fast as the virus.
A desire to control this chaos has led to some of the strictest mandates and restrictions ever placed on the United States. Compounding the uncertainty are the inconsistent messages given as reasoning for impositions and restrictions.
“I trust institutions less, my trust in government was already pretty much eroded before all this, but this just kind of exemplifies some of that,” said Kory Stone of Mattoon, Illinois.
Keenly interested in science, but not as a scientist by profession, Stone said he had more hope in the scientific community.
“I always thought it was maybe just a little more pure but I’ve come to find out it’s not, you know in how much money and stuff influences it, which has always been evident, but it’s just so blatant nowadays,” Stone said. “So, it’s not about political parties necessarily. It’s just about corruption in government and big business and pharmaceuticals or even big nonprofit organizations.”
Megan Rich of Litchfield, Illinois, like Ashmead also a young married mother, has not found things to be as one-sided, but instead has feelings of mistrust similar to Stone’s, who has no children of his own. Rich explained how media rumors after Trump was elected had her believing his administration would lead the nation into World War III. But, she says, “I remember feeling relieved when we made it through his first year in term.”
“One day I read an article that stated that under his administration President Trump would have to maneuver through our nation’s next pandemic. I chalked it up to social media rumors again and dismissed it,” Rich said. “However, in March 2020, when our state shut down for a Shelter in Place order, I found myself wondering if the pandemic was indeed a ‘Plan-Demic.’ ”
Rich said she believes COVID-19 is real, but she also thought Trump received a lot of backlash.
“It honestly seemed to me that the sickness, death, trauma, fear and despair was indeed furthering the Democratic agenda,” Rich said.
It has become evident that many people feel insecure and uncomfortable with our government and its handling of the pandemic. Still, others feel just the opposite, with more trust in government than their fellow citizens. One thing is sure; there are as many opinions in the U.S. as there are people.
Many people, like Rich, are willing to compromise but feel the actual needs of their family are getting lost in fights over things like mask mandates. She said her children’s personalities have changed, and her boys are afraid to go into public places without masks.
“My husband and I have never discouraged masks,” Rich said. “We talk about school settings optimistically. I never want my three children to feel like a mask will ruin their day or keep them from thriving, but it’s sad to hear them communicate that they’re afraid if they test positive for COVID-19 that it means they’ll die. Those conversations make me want to turn off media and ignore politics and stray from the supposed ‘science’ I am being presented with.”
Dave White of Fillmore has similar feelings about the fearmongering associated with the pandemic.
“I have stopped watching the news as much because I don’t care to hear about how many new COVID cases/deaths there are,” said White, who believes the state’s numbers are manipulated to push a political agenda.
“As far as the lockdowns. I understood last year, at first, but to me it’s not dangerous enough to bankrupt middle-class America and also now everyone is seeing the result of the lockdown with no help, no products available etc.,” White said.
He added: “If you choose to vaccinate or not, your choice. Same as masks. If you are concerned with your health then you can personally choose to stay home, mask up or whatever your particular opinion is.”
White has had COVID twice himself and had begun to consider taking the vaccine but changed his mind after seeing that the government was imposing their will on his personal health choices.
“I was on the fence as to getting the vaccine after my second and more serious COVID [infection], but then when our president demands we all get it or else – such as losing jobs, not traveling, withholding taxpayer-provided programs. Nope.” White said. “I jumped right off the fence. No vaccine for me.”
White’s wife, Lisa, on the other hand is vaccinated. While many are frustrated and engaging in politics, Lisa White said she remains uninterested in politics and also questions much of what is said in politics and the media.
“I don’t live in fear nor am I angry. I just live,” Lisa White said.
Sara Mullen is a second-year student at Lincoln Land Community College. She plans on continuing her education at Brigham Young University, where her focus will be Constitutional Law.

If you want to buy the best of the best when it comes to knives you cann't do better than buy a Benchmade Knife. Of course you have to be the type that doesn't mind spending an arm and a leg to have the knife that is made from the strongest steel with the strongest lock and the most indestructable\beautiful handle. That is the least you can expect from Benchmade knives! Benchmade has made a point of making knives with the best quality steel on earth, Benchmades rarely need sharpening at all. One time I was out shooting and I wanted to hang one of those thick chilli cans on a wire to shoot at, I didn't think I had anything really suitable to put a hole in the can, but then I grabbed my Benchmade and started drilling right through the metal can with the point. After I was done shooting for the day I was thinking "great, now I go home and sharpen my benchmade"... (the steel is so hard they take longer to sharpen) But when I checked the blade it was every bit as sharp as it was, in other words sharp enough to shave with!
Even though they are expensive, the Benchmade Knife Co. is my favorite tradark name, it's a name I can trust to give me the best for my money.
