Financial Aid Instructions
How to Apply for Financial Aid
- Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov.
- You will receive a Federal Student Aid Report (SAR) from the federal processor after you submit your FAFSA. If you provide your email address on your FAFSA, you will receive online SAR information as soon as 24 hours after your FAFSA is processed. The SAR tells you if you are eligible, financially, for federal financial aid.
- Check Raidernet to follow up on the status of your application. If your application is selected for Verification, you will be required to provide appropriate verifying documentation before aid can be disbursed to you. Continue to check RaiderNet after you submit the documents to make sure they are complete and no other documents or signatures are required.
- Standards of Academic Progress (SAP). Your cumulative GPA and successful completion rate must be up to the tiered standard; you also must be below the 150% rule. Students who fail SAP can submit a financial aid appeal if they have mitigating circumstances. See Academic Progress Policy under the Forms tab.
- If you are eligible for aid you will receive a Notification of Financial Aid Award from us. You will receive Notification of Financial Aid Award through the U.S. Postal system, your college e-mail, as well as RaiderNet, stating the terms and conditions of aid programs awarded..
- Meet the priority deadline dates. Do not assume that you will have financial aid if you do not meet the priority application dates. Students who complete their FAFSA and submit the proper documentation by the priority deadline dates and remain eligible will have approved aid for registration.
- Purchasing textbooks and supplies. Students whose financial aid is awarded prior to the end of the add/drop period each semester will be able to purchase text books and supplies from the College Store if they have enough financial aid to cover their tuition and fees.
- Enrollment Alerts. Financial aid will pay for only those courses required for your degree. If you receive an enrollment alert, you are registered in classes that are not required for your degree. it is your responsibility to change your schedule or add a secondary objective.
- Bright Futures. It is the student's responsibility to know the criteria for renewal. Please check the Bright Futures website http://www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org/SSFAD/factsheets/BF.htm. Bright Futures students must indicate the school where they are going to receive aid. If you change your mind which school you are going to attend, be sure to change your school on the Bright Futures website. Full instructions are available under the Scholarships tab.
- Withdrawing from course. Withdrawals will affect your Standards of Academic Progress (SAP). If you are on a Bright Futures Scholarship, you will have to repay that portion of your scholarship. If you are on Federal Aid, you will repay only if you withdraw from all of your courses before the last day to withdraw from the college.
RaiderNet will advise you about all these items:
- Look for RED FLAGS on your Raidernet financial aid status page. They will alert you to missing requirements that need to be completed before your financial aid can be approved.
- The FASFA tells you if you are eligible financially, however, you must also meet the GPA requirement, successful completion rate and the 150% rule, collectively called Standards of Progress (SAP). Red flags will alert you if you have a problem with SAP.
- If you are selected for verification, you will be required to submit additional documentation. Look for red flags.
- If you are required to submit copies of your tax return transcript, remember they must be SIGNED!
- Raidernet will list the documents that are required. Submit all required documents in a timely manner.
Don't forget to read your NWFSC student email!
Read all emails and letters sent from Financial Aid carefully and do what is required
in a timely manner.

At Cluttershrink®, we aim to make your life more enjoyable. We do that by partnering with you to reduce stress, create structure and order in your life, and save you time and money. Those things are accomplished by getting organized – in your home, office and life.
Your life may seem like one big "to do" list. Scheduling time to get organized might seem difficult for you, but we will do everything we can to accommodate your lifestyle and schedule organizing sessions at times that are convenient for you.
Cluttershrink® is a professional organizer, providing consultations, hands-on organizing assistance, virtual consultations and coaching, and seminars in the greater Philadelphia area and the entire Mid-Atlantic region. Services outside this region can be arranged.
Sessions are scheduled with a three hour minimum. This timeframe allows us to make the best use of your time and enables you to see results quickly.

a: Cluttershrink® will teach you new organizing techniques and tips. If we are working together in person, we will actually go through and containerize your items with you. We are not afraid to crawl on the floor, dive into unopened boxes, or sort through piles of mysterious papers. We approach every project with enthusiasm to make the organizing process interactive and enjoyable for you.
q: How long will it take to complete my organizing project?
a: The time it takes to complete a project varies depending on the goals you have set for yourself. Your commitment to completing the project is of the utmost importance. If you have a deadline to meet such as a presentation at work or an upcoming move, we will do everything possible to ensure that you meet that deadline. You set the pace for the project.

This is the homepage for the Incremental λ-Calculus project. Our goal is to extend database technology for low-overhead incremental computation, based on finite differencing, and apply it to higher-order languages.
On GitHub!
A theory of changes for higher-order languages — incrementalizing λ-calculi by static differentiation (updated version). With Yufei Cai, Tillmann Rendel, and Klaus Ostermann. PLDI '14, pp. 145–155.
If the result of an expensive computation is invalidated by a small change to the input, the old result should be updated incrementally instead of reexecuting the whole computation. We incrementalize programs through their derivative. A derivative maps changes in the program's input directly to changes in the program's output, without reexecuting the original program. We present a program transformation taking programs to their derivatives, which is fully static and automatic, supports first-class functions, and produces derivatives amenable to standard optimization.
We prove the program transformation correct in Agda for a family of simply-typed λ-calculi, parameterized by base types and primitives. A precise interface specifies what is required to incrementalize the chosen primitives.
We investigate performance by a case study: We implement in Scala the program transformation, a plugin and improve performance of a nontrivial program by orders of magnitude.
This project benefited from code and ideas of many different people:

How are the ideas behind nature vs. nurture related to "Innatism?"
- print Print
- list Cite
Expert Answers
pohnpei397 | Certified Educator
Innatism is the philosophical position that corresponds to a belief in the power of nature as opposed to nurture.
According to innatist thinkers, people are born with ideas already in their minds. They argue that the mind is not really a blank slate in the way that "tabula rasa" thinkers such as John Locke argue that it is. If people have ideas and concepts in their minds innately, then nature has a great deal of influence on the human being. However, if Locke is correct and the mind is a blank slate at birth, then what we become is completely dependent on our nurture and nature has no role in defining us as human beings.

The following excerpts from the writings of Gene Edwards are
available on this page:
The Secret of the Christian Life
What have you been told is the secret to the Christian life?
Pray and read your Bible? Go to church? Witness? Speak in tongues?
Let me go on record. I do not believe anything on that list
even comes close to the issue of how to live the Christian life.
All have one inherent flaw. The fatal flaw? Every item on the
aforementioned list assumes that it is possible to live the Christian
life. Can you live the Christian life? The answer is no, a resounding
NO! You cannot live the Christian life.
That list takes for granted you can live the Christian life.
Also note that you are the center of every item on that list.
Call it "you-centeredness." You out there living the
Christian life. You cannot live the Christian life. Jesus Christ
could not live the Christian life. None of us can live the Christian
life! If Jesus Christ cannot live the Christian life, what makes
you think that you can? You can give up trying to live the Christian
life! We can all testify what a colossal failure we have been
at trying to live the Christian life.
God the Father lives the Christian life. "How does God
the Father live the Christian life?" He doesn't. He is the
Christian life. He is the highest life. God the Father is the
wellspring, the source, the first motion, and the fountainhead
of the Christian life.
The Father indwelt His Son here on this earth for thirty-three
years. The Father lived the Christian life inside Jesus Christ.
It was the Father's life, and the Father's life alone, which
lived the Christian life inside your Lord. It is the Father's
life, and the Father's life alone, that ever lives the Christian
life. It is the Father's life, and Father's life alone, which
will live the Christian life in you. Embrace a formula or a list
in order to "live the Christian life," and you are
doomed to frustration.
But on the day you quit trying to live the Christian life
...then you will finally give Him the freeway to live out in
you what is so easy and so simple and so organic for Him to do.
Hopefully, you just got set free from a long list of do's and
don'ts (the "do's" you can't do, and the "don'ts"
you always do). Why look so shocked; stop and think about it.
You never were any good at living the Christian life. Admit it.
From: The Secret of the Christian Life

Discussion in 'Pesticide & Herbicide Application' started by GrazerZ, Apr 23, 2001.
grazerz- good luck on the account! I wish I had more like it dave g
How is this one going for you as of 9-1-2001?
I wish you well, what have you learned and what would you do the same or different on large jobs like this.
What type of equipment did you start with and did you need to upgrade? Thanks.
what kind of trees are you deep root fertilizing and what r u fertilizing the trees with. Do you know how much water and material you need for trees and your charging this guy $ 7.50 a tree LOL. I dont fertilize trees for less than $ 75 a tree and we also fertilize trees twice a year with slow release fertilizer.
Kevin M you would price the 200 trees at $15000 per visit for a total of $30000 a year? I've never done this before and have only seen one or two companies that do it here.
Yeah I would charge that much and I use top shelf fertilizer and I doubt most of the trees need to be done but just once a year and also since your the only guy in town set the price for top shelf and high-tech work I do it every day. I have fertilized thousands of trees and I make very good money at it.
Hey guys, thanx for asking about the program. Here in Maine we have had little to no ran in the last two months. It has put a real wrench in my schedule. I have delayed my mid summer fert and grub applicattions until this week. Also the broadleaf weed spraying was half done when the drought hit us, so I'm waiting for a bit more rain. Fall is a good time for weeds anyway.
As for the trees We fertilized all of them with Arbor-green from lesco. I have to say that the trees look great,especially compared to how they looked last year. Oh by the way, I deep root injected them on a two year program. The fert is a little pricey at around $50.00 per bag. For the two year feeding that will make 100 gallons.
I figured this job based on time rather than square footage.We just had too many trees of diffrerent sizes. I estimated my time at $100.00 per hour after overhead costs. I did the job in two half days of four hr each so I averaged after materials($300.00) $150.00 per hr. Which I though was pretty slick and the customer is thrilled because he can see the differance also.
As for the regular turf stuff, I just explained the situation to him and he is a reasonable man. There are two buildings on the property that have irrigation and they look great so they serve as a contrast to the turf that dose'nt have irrigation. To keep him happy I did spray 40 linden and crabapple trees with Talstar when the Jap beetles hit us. I did it as part of the program sice we made out well on everything else and it is a big account. Hope this helps.

Could Recent Mortgage Law Challenges Mean More Homeowners Won't Face Foreclosure and/or That They Were Illegally Foreclosed On and Can Keep Their Homes?
ForeclosureBusinessNews.com: "Foreclosure News the Average Joe Can Use!" Find Trusted Vendors, eg, Foreclosure Lawyers, Mortgage Consultants, Cleaning Co's, Etc.
In this past Tuesday's post here, we discussed the organization known as MERs, which has filed to foreclose on thousands of homeowners across the country, and now courts are challenging their ability to do so.
If you've never heard of MERs, don't worry, you're not alone. Most homeowners haven't – that is, unless and/or until they face foreclosure. To recap, MERs is . . .
the Mortgage Electronic Registry Systems . . . This company, owned by the major banks, was set up in the mid-1990s by the Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Its goal was to expedite the home loan process. . . .

Scraping content (eg, using software to illegally copy and paste copyrighted content from websites and blogs) is becoming a common practice which affects every site owner. So if you see this content someplace else, please take a quick moment to send an email to [info]at[ForeclosureBusinessNews.com] (remove brackets, of course) so that we can take the appropriate action. Thank you in advance for your help.
Why It's Important For Homeowners Facing Foreclosure to Know What MERs Is
In short, because now courts are challenging their ability to foreclose at all on a homeowner. Why? Because they don't own an underlying interest in the property.
Only a party with an "interest" in a property can file to have it foreclosed on (eg, a bank/lender, a contractor who has a lien against it, a homeowners association (HOA) when a home owner doesn't pay their dues, etc.).
MERs' position, by its own admission, was only to "keep track of changes in servicers and mortgage ownership . . . Foreclosure really was not central to [its] core business and the organization never received income from foreclosures."
So, what does all of this mean for the Average Joe homeowner?
Main that your home may have been illegally foreclosed on because the organization "helped make possible foreclosures that otherwise might not have taken place because the necessary original documents were missing," according to the Reuters article, Exclusive: Facing criticism, MERS cuts role in foreclosures.
What Should You Do If You're a Homeowner Who's Received a Foreclosure Notice from MERs
There are so many intangibles that it's hard to lay out a specific course of action for every homeowner. Many lenders have their own programs where they're trying to work with borrowers – so some are being proactive on their own.
But, if you suspect that your home was illegally foreclosed on and you can't get any cooperation from your lender, it might be time to consult a foreclosure attorney to at least discuss your options – that is, if you even want to keep your home.

Governor Steve Beshear today joined with local and state officials to celebrate and ceremonially open a reconstructed section of KY 1649 designed to improve safety and traffic flow in Casey County.
The $3.9 million project eliminated a sharp curve and corrected a steep grade.
"The most important role of state government is to protect the health and safety of Kentucky's citizens," Gov. Beshear said. "That includes making our highways as safe as possible. By eliminating a very sharp curve, we may be able to save lives in this growing area."
The project involved the reconstruction of KY 1649 (Dry Ridge Hill) from Bowman Trail and Noe Road to just west of KY 70. Crews also constructed asphalt drains to correct storm water drainage issues. The improved roadway reduced a 16 percent steep grade to a safer 6 percent slope.
"I'm happy to see this project completed, because it will really make that section of road safer and easier to travel. I want to thank the Governor, my fellow legislators, and the Transportation Cabinet for helping to bring all of this together," said Rep. Terry Mills, of Lebanon. "Now that this long-awaited project is complete, school children, local business operators, and Casey County residents can travel more safely in this area. I will continue to work hard to improve travel for residents of Casey County."
"Road improvement and maintenance is one of the most important issues for a community," said Sen. Chris Girdler, of Somerset. "The changes to KY 1649 will provide a much safer route for all of us, and in the long run will give us greater opportunity for economic development and job creation."
The work was completed in November 2012 by the Allen Company.

Lorenzo has been playing piano since he was 5. In his own words, "I knew from an early age that the piano would accompany my entire life, and in particular composition".
His music combines elements of classical music with a tonal contemporary sound. Lorenzo has been composing since early childhood, but it was only when he was 13 that his compositions grew in structure and form, following the thorough study and analysis of the work of the great composers (in particular, Bach and Beethoven) under the supervision of pianist and conductor Emilio Rabaglino.
Lorenzo has written over 200 compositions. Most are composed for piano and some are for orchestra or small ensemble. He performs his compositions and teaches in North-West London.
Piano Lessons
Mastery at the piano involves not only being able to play the correct notes at the correct time, but also being able to express feelings, and making a piece of music sound communicative and beautiful. The objective is to develop in each student a comprehensive understanding of music that enables them to play the piano with utmost enjoyment and musicality, while finding their own voices.
It is also very important that students become independent learners. This is achieved by teaching them how to listen, evaluate, and make the necessary changes in their own playing.
Lorenzo offers private piano tuition in his studio in Edgware (North West London). He takes on students of all ages and abilities, as long as they are keen to learn and prepared to practise between lessons.
Music Theory
Why is learning music theory important? Music theory brings meaning to what would otherwise be an anonymous sequence of notes. If you understand music, you can analyse works of notable composers, improve your sight reading, memorise any score in a much shorter time and figure out the formal structure of pieces. Knowing music theory will expand your musical horizons and make you a better musician.
As many students know, to take ABRSM grades in any instruments above grade 5, one needs to complete grade 5 music theory. Because of this reason, and also due to the fact that theory is often perceived as hard and boring, study of theory is often delayed until too late.
It is therefore a good idea to work through music theory grades sequentially, and apply the knowledge gained as the classical pieces are learned. The study of theory should be complementary to any music studies.
We run classes and offer individual tuition, as well as make available material which will help prepare for ABRSM (or other boards) theory exams.
Music Aptitude Tests
The Music Aptitude Test (MAT) is a test used by many selective secondary schools to identify a child's musical talent and grant admission to the school. We have been successfully preparing students for MAT for over 10 years, both through teaching and making available sample test materials.

Lewis Hamilton v Fernando Alonso (McLaren)
A simmering hostility born of each driver's belief that they were the leading light on McLaren's team reached its nadir at the Hungaroring in 2007 when Hamilton ignored team orders in qualifying and the Spaniard responded by blocking him in the pit lane in a tit for tat move. The pair were not on speaking terms after that and Alonso left for Renault at the end of the season before Hamilton went on to claim the world title.
Dwain Chambers v Darren Campbell (British 4x100m relay team)
Campbell was so incensed by the inclusion of convicted drugs cheat Chambers in the foursome for the 2006 European Championships that he refused to talk to his team-mate and would not join the lap of honour when they won gold.
Danny Cipriani v Josh Lewsey (Wasps)
The Wasps players traded punches when a training drill became a little overheated in October 2008. Cipriani was just returning from injury, Lewsey was struggling for form, as were the team. "Rugby is a fiery and physical game and incidents like this happen in training sessions all the time," said a club suit, trying to defuse the situation.
Gabriela Szabo v Violeta Beclea Szekely (Romanian distance runners)
From the moment in the early '90s when the younger Szabo emerged to challenge Beclea, the two runners were at odds with each other. Szabo was loved for her looks as much as her talent, something that bothered Beclea, as did Szabo's cutting comments when Beclea failed a drugs test in 1996. In 2001 Szabo branded her rival 'too ugly' to be invited to one meeting and backed up those thoughts in an interview with Playboy magazine. Beclea sued her bête noir for $100,000, but settled out of court in the end.
Tonya Harding v Nancy Kerrigan (US Olympic ice skating squad)
After US pin-up Kerrigan was assaulted with a blunt instrument to her leg and forced out of the 1994 national figure skating championship, which she was predicted to win, Harding stole the show and earned a place on the team for the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. It later emerged that Kerrigan's assailant had been Shawn Eckardt who, along with Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly had committed the crime to help Harding with her blessing. At the games a tearful Harding came only eighth while Kerrigan took silver in what was dubbed the 'Battle of wounded knee'.
Lee Bowyer v Kieron Dyer (Newcastle United)
On pitch dust-ups between footballers are ten a penny but none live as long in the collective memory as vividly as this episode. Bowyer was said to have been angered by Dyer failing to pass to him and, with Aston Villa's Gareth Barry trying to play peacemaker, a spot of fisticuffs ended with a wild eyed and snarling Bowyer, shirt torn from him, being hauled off to cool down. Perhaps even more memorable was the press conference then manager Gaeme Souness made the pair attend like a pair of naughty schoolboys to say sorry. "We're teammates and we have disagreements," said Dyer, "but we shouldn't fight in front of 50,000 people."
Natalie Tauziat v Amelie Mauresmo (French Davis Cup and Olympic squad)
Mauresmo came to prominence in winning the Australian Open as a 19-year-old but her physical build attracted negative comments from other women on the tour – Martin Hingis famously describing her as 'half man'. Tauziat, her French compatriot, went further. In her book, Underside of Women's Tennis, Tauziat lambasted Mauresmo for public shows of affection with her lesbian lover. Mauresmo refused to represent France at the Sydney Olympics if Tauziat was selected. She wasn't.
Tom Daley v Blake Aldridge (British synchronised diving team)
Aldridge suggested his dive partner and Britain's youngest ever Olympian had denied him a chance of getting the gold medal he felt he deserved due to a perceived attack of nerves in the final in Beijing that they came last in. Chief among his bugbears was the 14-year-old Daley remonstrating with his older partner for chatting to his mother on the phone before the sixth and final dive. Daley, the freshly crowned world champion in the 10m individual event, now partners Max Brick after his relationship with Aldridge became irreconcilable.
Shoaib Akhtar v Mohammad Asif (Pakistan)
Tensions always run high in the Pakistan cricket team and never more so than when Shoaib and Asif came together in a practice session for the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa, the former clouting the latter with a bat following some verbals and being sent home from the tournament.
Michael Westbrook v Stephen Davis (Washington Redskins)
The gridiron players never enjoyed cordial relations and a bitter feud that had lasted years came to a head when Westbrook, enraged by Davis allegedly implying he was gay, attacked his tormentor viciously during training in 1997. Westbrook apologised to the club and David but later, in perhaps ill-considered words, told of the reason for his rage. "For about three years, I wanted to lock myself in the house," he said, "and never come out."

President Bush's decision to pull the US out of the ABM treaty was largely political. None of the systems being tested would violate the treaty, and nothing that violates it could be deployed before the 2004 elections in any case. Advocates of arms control decried the move, but opponents noted that three decades of arms control had little practical effect. It was deterrence, they insist, not treaties, that kept the world safe. The Soviets built a vast arsenal under the existing treaties, which most experts agree, they violated constantly. In a related event, Boeing's three-stage booster for the intercept-kill vehicle failed again on 13 Dec. The booster program is two years behind schedule and shows no sign of working.--Stephen V Cole

During the last few years, Swami had made a few divine
prophecies regarding certain epoch making events. The prophecies were made
at different points of time and I have no records about the dates on which
they were made. It is possible that some of these prophecies were also
made earlier or on occasions when I was not present. I can only say that
I heard these prophecies from Him during the last four to five years. It
is interesting that some of these have already occurred. The important
world prophecies by Swami are briefly mentioned below:
I am told that Swami had prophesied more than a decade ago that his life history and mission would get propagated through a system of telephone cables and computers. When this prophecy was made home computers were a rarity and no one had even dreamt of something like Internet and none could have visualized what He was actually referring to.
He has recently prophesied that in future Hanumanth Jayanthi
Celebrations could be watched live on the Internet all over the world.
I have heard Swami mentioning about a phenomenal change
in the world towards the end of the century. On 14th March 1998, he again
prophesied that the world was heading towards a crisis. Before the turn
of the century that is, between 1999 and 2000, the world will undergo a
terrible calamity that will be most excruciating for five days. The crisis,
which would last five days, would occur in two stages. During these five
days people all over the world would neither take food nor sleep out of
fear. But the worst thing would not happen as feared by people. The tension
that would be caused by the crisis would create immense faith in God and
would leave the people more Godfearing and virtuous.
He had prophesied that water and glycerin would be discovered on the moon.
Ever since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in 1969, it was regarded as an arid place devoid of a life-supporting atmosphere. They could have discovered the presence of ice had they landed in the Polar Regions. However, the latest discovery about the presence of ice on the moon by Dr. Ala Binder, Chief Investigator for the NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration), imparts a quantum leap to our knowledge.
For more details regarding the recent discovery of ice on the moon, you may refer the Hindu newspaper dated 9th March 1998.
We shall now await the discovery of glycerin too.
Swami had prophesied a couple of years ago that a new planet would be discovered.
Since October 1995, astronomers at San Francisco State University and elsewhere have detected eight planets orbiting sunlike stars. On 25th April 1997 a group of astronomers reported that they had detected another new planet orbiting the G0V sun-like star Rho Corona Borealis. The planet orbits once every 39 days, at a distance of 0.23 Astronomical Units...closer than Mercury, and with a mass above 1.1 times that of Jupiter. Astronomers at the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts; the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado; and the Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pennsylvania, have also found evidence for the planet. Swiss astronomers of the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland have also reported finding a planet. Further details on new planets can be obtained from the San Francisco State University.
We have to wait and see whether this is the planet that Swami had prophesied about. Swami had also indicated that following this discovery; our astrologers would get confused as their predictions are normally based on nine planets (navagraha system). He, however, mentioned that a solution would be arrived at to dispel the confusion.
To ascertain the probability of a human settlement on planet Mars, I surfed through the Internet and obtained the following details. Scientists at the Ivy League University and NASA research centers have searched for decades to find the best way to colonization of Mars. Their research has already produced working plans for a number of colony types. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, metals and solar energy are required for settlement on Mars. Carbon dioxide is found in abundance in the Martian atmosphere. It can be used to fuel plants that will convert it into oxygen for life support. Recent studies with potato plants have found the plants can support respiratory needs and nutrition for extended periods of time. However, there are problems of cost, solar radiation, absence of ozone layer like protection against ultraviolet rays etc. But according to Arthur C. Clarke, the problems of vegetation, surface water, climate change and even the creation of an ozone layer can be solved, leaving gravity as the only remaining problem for life on Mars. It is understood that NASA is envisaging settlement on Mars sometime in the late 21st century. Thus, in the current scenario it may sound like fiction but going by the enthusiasm evinced by scientists it would materialise atleast in the distant future, if not during our lifetime.
According to the International Astronomical Union a huge asteroid, a one-mile-wide object, capable of destroying the civilization may hit the Earth at 6.30 p.m. on 26th October 2028. The asteroid codenamed 1997 XF 11 is likely to zoom past the Earth at a distance of 30,000 miles. It may collide with the Earth at more than 17,000 miles per hour and explode with the energy of almost two million Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs. Even after spotting the asteroid and tracking its path, astronomers, as usual, differ on the chance of a collision with the Earth. However, people need not worry about it, as it would not lead to the annihilation of civilization on our planet. The point is that what the astronomers have discovered through powerful telescopes our Swami had long back seen in His cosmic consciousness. For more details about the asteroid, you may refer the Hindu newspaper dated 14th March 1998 or contact the Telegraph Group Ltd., London.
Around 30 UFO (unidentified flying objects) sightings have been reported between 1917 and 1990. In ancient roman times, chariots flying in the sky were reported and then later in the 1880-90s witnesses reported seeing airships. Now witnesses report seeing super sleek discoid objects. It is claimed that there are two types of aliens, the Tall Blondes and the Grey types, which are both humanlike. The Greys have large heads, small fragile bodies, small nose and ears and longer fingers. Probably there are other types of aliens, and we have to wait and see which alien Swami had referred to.
The truth about alien landings is hidden from public gaze probably because scientists are yet to unravel the mystery of the alien technology or for military or political reasons. Many people (Bob Lazar being the most prominent) have claimed that the US government indeed possesses this alien technology and are trying to reverse engineer it. There have also been several claims that the US government actually possesses an alien spacecraft although not fully understanding the propulsion technology behind it.
I have heard Him prophesying many a time that the Sun
had cracked. It may not cause any major problems on the Earth; however,
minor problems like electricity failure have already occurred in parts
of the Earth.
According to Swami, after the turn of the century, religion
will get relegated to the background, as people would lose faith in religious
practices and religious leaders. People would ignore religion and become
more God fearing and virtuous.
Swami had prophesied that certain life-giving and vital
herbs would be revealed to a devotee in Madras who has reportedly noted
down the names of herbs revealed to him through dreams. It is understood
that he has even collected some of these herbs and is awaiting further
revelation. This prophecy has special significance because it was Lord
Anjaneya who brought the Sanjeevani herb to save Lakshmana.
Our dream to fly would, thus, materialise soon. Imagine men and women
going for shopping with attached wings, avoiding traffic jam putting our
two winged friends to shame. So parents better beware! Your children would
demand flycycles instead of bicycles. Better lock your balconies because
enterprising flycyclists can enter your apartments unnoticed and render
you poorer. Ofcourse, there would be no traffic jam nor any constable to
book offenders! Next time when you hear someone calling you better look
up as well; it could be your friend on wings.
Banks and financial institutions would also suffer. Thus computers are
expected to conk out atleast temporarily causing civil emergencies as well
as military myopia.
Swami has said that towards the end of the century the world would have
to face problems on three fronts.
The problems would begin by 13th/14th of October 1999 and would extend
up to March 2000. People would neither eat nor sleep but keep praying for
the survival of the world as there would be no apparent solution. But with
divine intervention, solution would come in nine hours. When the worst
is over, people all over the world would heave a sigh of relief and realise
that it was divine intervention alone that saved the world.
Today we are standing on the brink of a great cyclical change and a
change is imminent. He is one of the instruments at the hands of God to
bring about this change. The twilight has already set in and one can not
dismiss the whispers of a distant thunder. Obviously, the night will be
darkest before the dawn. As Socrates said there seems nothing to be done
except crouch behind the wall until the storm passes by.
One of the prerequisites for surviving the impending crisis and the
change thereafter would be faith in God. His mission is to instill faith
and love towards fellow beings in a materialistic and tormented world with
the help of the miraculous Super Consciousness that He is born with. His
extra ordinary powers are Gods gift for us.
As He said once, If Lord Vishnu were to appear before us, some
would even ask for His identity card. That is the kind of faith people
have today. Jesus once told Philip, For a long time I have been
with you all; yet you do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen
the Father. Why, then, do you say, Show us the Father? Do you not believe,
Philip, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that
I have spoken to you, do not come from me. The Father, who remains in me
does his own words. John 14:9. Then a week after Resurrection,
when Thomas doubted him, Jesus said, Do you believe because you see
Me? How happy are those who believe without seeing Me. John 20:29
God promised Abraham and his descendents that the world would belong
to him. This promise was made, not because Abraham obeyed the law, but
because he believed and was accepted as righteous by God. For if what
God promised is to be given to those who obey the Law, then mans faith
means nothing and Gods promise is worthless. Romans 4:13 14.
The mission of Sri Vikraman Swamiji is also none other than to instill faith in a Supreme power and to encourage people to worship that power in whatever form or name they choose.

Get set for dirtier CR trains tomorrow
17,000 CR workers call for a day's strike to protest delay in clearing their dues
If you are a Central Railway (CR) commuter who is already disgusted with dirty trains, platforms and railway stations, then be prepared for the worse.
Citing problems in timely payment of minimum wages and travelling allowances as prescribed by the Ministry of Labour, approximately 17,000 contract workers — associated with the union-body of Central Railway (CR) — have called for a day's strike. The strike will commence at 6 am tomorrow and will end at 6 am on Friday. Apart from Mumbai division, workers from other divisions such as Pune, Bhusaval, Solapur and Nagpur, will also be a part of the strike.
Those participating in the strike are responsible for cleaning the stations, dustbins, garbage and muck off the tracks, coaches, supplying bedding inside AC coaches on long distance trains, among others.
"There will be at least 8,000 workers in the Mumbai division who will not be working. It will affect cleanliness on both local and long distance trains equally. We will be meeting the officials from the Labour ministry on June 27," said S D Gangurde, general secretary of Railway Theka Mazdoor Union (CR) yesterday.
Some of the union members said that cleaning of trains stationed at major car sheds and yards such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Sanpada, Kurla, among others, will be affected greatly.
Nothing to worry
Railway officials, however, claim that the impact of the strike will be very limited as most of the jobs have been outsourced to private contractors. "The impact of the strike shouldn't be drastic as most of the works, including cleaning, have been outsourced," a senior CR official said.

2012 sport-netting dates and regulations announced
Recreational netting for whitefish-tullibee opens on Friday, October 12 on designated lakes that are less susceptible to sudden changes that impact water temperature, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
These lakes, known as Schedule II lakes, offer recreational netting on the following schedule:
--Schedule II A lakes open Friday, October 12 and close Sunday, December 2.
--Schedule II B lakes open Friday, November 2 and close Sunday, December 9.
--Schedule II C lakes open Friday, November 9 and close Sunday, December 9.
Schedule I lakes, which are more susceptible to factors that impact water temperatures, will be opened and closed on a 48-hour notice posted at lake accesses and other public places.
Netting in infested waters may be restricted or closed to sport netting of whitefish and tullibee.
Lakes closed to recreational netting in 2012 are:
--Burgen Lake
--Lakota Lake
--Osakis Lake
--Victoria Lake
About 700 people obtain special permits to net for whitefish-tullibee each year. DNR bases netting schedules on expected water temperatures. As the water temperature cools, game fish head to deeper water, and whitefish-tullibee come to shallow water for fall spawning. Netting is allowed when there is little chance that game fish populations would be negatively impacted by recreational netting in shallow water.
Minnesota law restricts the size of the net and its openings; requires that netting be done in water not deeper than six feet unless specifically authorized; stipulates that netted fish cannot be sold; and requires that only rough fish caught in the net may be kept.
State law also limits net size to 100 feet long and three feet wide; allows one person to use no more than two nets; and forbids recreational netters from possessing angling equipment when netting whitefish-tullibee.
A complete list of all Schedule I and II lakes, status of the seasonal openings and closures, as well as detailed netting regulations, are available online at www.mndnr.gov/regulations/fishing or by calling the DNR information center at (651) 296-6157 or 1-888-MINNDNR (646-6367).

Another of the images made from our Italy trip with John and Jackie Doogan. Again featuring an arch , a belief structure. This one seems to be bridging a gap between two buildings, dwelling places?, the hard physical world? The light space above is undoubtedly spiritual with its spire and lone bird in flight. Is the arch a belief structure that actually supports that spiritual space? Or does it form a gateway to that world? Or both . Is that spiritual space a religious one?, that needs a belief structure to support it. I'm a spiritual person but not a religious one, but I do seem to get churches and crosses in my images for some reason. It also seems to me that the archway it holding the two buildings apart and that they might slam shut without it. The doorway on the right seems important, does it lead into the physical world? If that's so then this space exists in the gap between physical matter, between moments.

NEW VIDEO: She Read The Book, Kind Of….
Tomorrow the How Not To Act Old book officially hits the stores, but our woman somehow managed to snag an advance copy and read it cover to cover.
Well, she read all the good parts. While also leaving a voice mail for her daughter, sending mass emails to her friends, and cooking a pot roast for dinner. So she doesn't necessarily remember every single word….
And now she can't find her book. Better run right out and buy another copy.
Thanks to the fabulous director and photographer Alexa Garbarino, whose own gorgeous book Ripe is coming soon; to the scarily talented Age Policeman Noah Levinson; to the brilliant novelist Debbie Galant, who was moved to burn her leopardskin clothes after I borrowed them; and to Fitzgerald's 1928 in Glen Ridge, NJ for the gorgeous location.

With Tenerife Franchise Entry, Monton Proves It's For Real ({{commentsTotal}})
Originally discounted as a prank by the local press, textile company Baltika has confirmed that it will open its first Monton brand store in Spain in August after striking a franchising deal on March 13.
The agreement with Mirworld Organization was the outcome of a year-long negotiation.
"Mirworld is a company with a considerable retail network and franchising agreement and will be a strong partner," said Andres Käär, director of wholesale and franchising operations at Baltika. "Monton is the younger, more trend-conscious partner who offers them a portfolio mainly geared at luxury and premium trademarks.
The first store will open on the island of Tenerife, in the new Parque Santiago mall.
Baltika officials said they saw the Canary Islands as an "interesting" way to enter the mainland market.
Monton previously had a franchise only in Belarus. The trademark, launched in 2002, accounts for 48 percent of Baltika's retail sales. It's marketed in over 50 brand stores in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and Russia.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in terms of their presidential race moved their political war on Twitter, and this time Clinton absolutely beat Republican frontrunner with 480 mentions for #deliteyouraccount.
Since elections started Twitter had become the platform for online wars between frontrunners. And here we have the story about how one tweet and just tree words made Hillary Clinton as popular as never before.
Who started this Twitter War
The very time Barak Obama endorsed Clinton saying that she's got courage, compassion and the heart to get the job done, Donald Trump wasted no time and immediately responded it on his Twitter account:
However, Clinton did not hesitate and with the same velocity just in three words responded to this condemnation. «Delete your account» in an hour became one of the most widely shared tweets of this 2016 campaign and the most ever shared Clinton's tweets ever.
Several hours later it became an absolutely trend on Twitter and Facebook and was surfing the web till it raised 480 hundred tweets and 610 hundred likes. Just in one day Clinton's independence on Twitter soared and raised up over 74,000 mentions.
Radio stations, publishers and even brands such as ASOS could not ignore this aftermatch. Surely, there is no need to mention trolls who hastened to come up with funny memes such as Ryan Sikes's deletos.
Twitter's politicians
Despite the fact Trump continued this battle and tweeted another mordant response: «How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up–and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?» which couldn't beat #Deleteyouraccount, Clinton won this round.
Remarkably that in 2015 when president Obama became a later twitter adopter, several mass media announced that researches found that Donald Trump, Jeb Bush and other Republicans used their Twitter accounts to talk about God and religion saying «we» and «ours». And they were likely to use emotional language and tweets full of swear words and anxiety.
Dr Matthew Purver from Queen Mary University of London mentioned that social media provides a great amount of data which can be used to examine and understand offline behavior. He also predicted that such platforms as Twitter could be a ground in laying out people's personality:
«This means we could use Twitter data in future to better understand people's behaviour and personality, while also using psychological research to understand more about Twitter users».

Google bought Motorola Mobility primarily for the patents, and it was a protective move designed to put them on equal footing with Apple and Microsoft. In my opinion, they had no intention of keeping the company intact, and they are now in the process of discarding the pieces they don't need...
Microsoft has a good partner in Nokia, which has a very strong patent portfolio of it's own. Microsoft won't make it's own smartphones, unless it buys Nokia outright. Besides, who would buy an inferior Microsoft WP8 smartphone? Nokia's reputation for producing quality devices is well deserved, and it's unlikely Microsoft will risk alienating it's own partner by attempting to market something that won't sell anyway.
Also, the jury is still out regarding the success or failure of WP8. Android fanboys will say WP8 is a total failure, but they are not interested in making honest and objective evaluations, and their opinions should be typically disregarded due to an obvious bias against Microsoft and it's allies.
If Microsoft did market it's own "Surface Phone", then Nokia would likely jump ship to Android, and possibly market both types of devices. However, such a move would see WP8 quickly lose steam, and then fade away. Microsoft needs Nokia in order for WP8 to succeed, and will not risk ruining the business relationship.

Google bought Moto strictly for patent protection. Motorola has what 2 maybe 3% of the market and is cutting back over a 1000 jobs.

yeah, go to android and be in a shadow of samsung...and try to beat them, this way nokia has no real competition and is top hardware manufacturer for OS, but I do think they should make android device as well as windows devices

Once Microsoft decides to make their own phones, Nokia should diversify. Android!!!!

If this phone will be Google Play compatible, it sounds exciting indeed.

And why on Earth would a MS Surface phone be Google Play compatible?
44. roscuthiii (Posts: 2353; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
My guess is he's thinking of Bluestacks. So, not really Google Play exactly, but capable of running Android apps.

28. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
no actually it will be wonderful since Nokia has always targeted what user likes to do i like wp but its also true MS dont completly listen to users but nokia has a long history of user friendly excpet going with MS most will say ofcourse if they make another OS this can turn to their own favor android is not best option maybe good enough but not for users at all
6. akki20892 (Posts: 3902; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Nokia you should go with your own linux OS & has a top apps Or go with Android will be hit of the year Phone, great phone with great os......!!! Elop mention that they will go with other os (ex: Android) interesting in future when nokia release android phone....!!!
36. volcano (Posts: 348; Member since: 25 Jan 2013)
ya sure because google doesn't own Motorola and they don't have their own phones
8. avin007 (Posts: 139; Member since: 28 Feb 2013)
If microsoft launch their own phone nokia will be history(with symbian phones displayed at cultural museums of finland).....symbian is gone and now they may possibly lose love and care of windows.....microsoft got what they wanted....popularity and recognition in mobile arena via nokia. They can afford to show middle finger to nokia...good luck elop
29. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
well still WP is more sold only because of nokia others aint doing as good as them besides MS sufrace was cool but not as affortable to get it
9. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1239; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
Microsoft would be stupid to make their own phone. They should just have Nokia build whatever they want since they're only one step away from owning them anyways.
10. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Ok....so are they assuming MS would do their own hardware? Why assume MS would just alienate the OEM(s)?
If I'm not mistaken....Surface tablets are made by OEMs, right?
11. bojan (Posts: 188; Member since: 06 Oct 2012)
Nokia you need to go Andriod or you will be ditched soon by Microsoft and it would be too late for you to join Andriod
14. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
no android!! there's a ton of open software out there! they could use sailfish and also firefox (since they support it with thier here maps)
you should realize that not all people like android and its not the only choice!! they can still go their own way, if they develop their own home grown OS, symbian and meego

I notice much ado about Christopher Pyne's launch today of the $70m 'independent public schools' policy. Others analysed this thoroughly before the last federal election – the knowledgeable Bronwyn Hinz here and here for example. And you will find plenty of discourse over the merits of independence for public schools such as this from Save Our Schools.
Of course, as Bronwyn Hinz points out, Victoria's schools have been independent in the sense that Pyne means for 20 years. I doubt many would want to go back to centralised control. So there wouldn't appear to be much in today's announcement for Victoria and $70m won't spread too far given the number of schools across the nation. If there's money available then of course we'll be in line but the focus – building leadership capacity and community engagement – is the day to day work of schools anyway (although we could always do a little better at the latter).
My concern is with the muddled thinking behind the policy. There seems to be a prevailing view on the conservative side of politics that non government schools are somehow 'better' because they are independent of government control and supposedly engage better with their communities. The sooner this is knocked on the head the better. Not only does it allow politicians to hide from the realities of what makes schools 'perform' but it leads to waste of time, energy and money. And worst of all it's patronising.
There are two very simple reasons why, on average, non government schools do better than their public counterparts. They can set their own enrolment policies and they have more money – including the right to set compulsory school fees. That's it. It's not about whether a school is government or non government. The top performing schools in Victoria years on year are public schools – the select entry government schools. It's all about the student cohort.
With the exception of some low fee independent schools, most independent schools aren't interested in educating challenging students. Low SES students with high academic or sporting ability might get a guernsey through a scholarship – topping up and cherry picking are common practice – which serves the dual purpose of assuaging the conscience of leaders in those schools and further denuding public schools of talent. I find it rather ironic that public funding of non government schools puts many of them in a position where they can strip talent from public schools. Catholic schools are a slightly different case, they straddle the middle ground but long ago gave up their original educational mission and are comfortable with a role somewhere between the public and independent sectors and the student cohort that goes with it.
Whatever your view of the relative merits of public and independent schools don't fall for the line that improvement is about governance, values or community engagement. I could improve our school's results overnight by exiting the students who we know will struggle to achieve strong academic results or by excluding them through setting compulsory fees. But the government won't allow us to do either and I wouldn't want to. I want to be able to sleep at night knowing that our school is inclusive of all comers.
So Pyne's independent schools policy is a distraction and there's scant evidence to suggest that it will lead to improvement. The right course to take, and the one backed by research and public opinion, is to recast school funding along the lines proposed by the Gonski reforms. There's an argument that these reforms don't go far enough and won't completely address the growing divide between the haves and the have nots in schools and in our communities. But our national interests are not served by the current funding model and no amount of 'independence' without funding reform is going to fix that problem.

What I learned emceeing TEDxWayPublicLibrary
Last night I had the privilege of emceeing the inaugural TEDx event in my current hometown. (TEDx is an initiative of the TED Conference that allows communities to organize local TED-style events.) TEDxWayPublicLibrary was the vision of Natalie Dielman, program coordinator at our incredible local library (I've written before about my appreciation for Way Public Library). Natalie organized a planning committee that threw themselves into the task, and the event was sold out a couple weeks ago.
Our theme was "A Community of Ideas," admittedly broad, but somehow all five presentations, plus the few TED talk videos we featured, together drove home a message about what we can see and hear in the everyday if we just pay closer attention.
C.R. Kasprzyk, a composer finishing his doctorate in music composition and digital media at Bowling Green State University, gave a gorgeous presentation on "Sustainability and Found Composition." He played his own recordings of walleye, bats, a glacier, ambient city sounds and more (hear samples on his website), and talked about his compositional philosophy of letting his surroundings direct his work, demonstrating how all earthlings (human and otherwise) are connected. Cory has a effervescent charm that really connected with the audience.
Julie Rubini told her personal story about how she was inspired to found Claire's Day, an annual children's book festival and literary outreach program that helps thousands of children in our area, after her young daughter died unexpectedly. She has since published Hidden Ohio, and is working on two other books. She was passionate about the transformative power of bringing authors and illustrators face-to-face with kids.
And last night I saw, in person, one man move the arm of another man using a human-human interface. Tim Marzullo, a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Michigan and co-founder of Backyard Brains, gave a mesmerizing, rapid-fire demonstration (involving bilingual slides and an unscripted device repair) of some of his neuroprosthetic research. In less than 20 minutes, he made an incredible case for inexpensive tech and community maker spaces to foster DIY science around the world.
Our city has a top-ranked public school system, but Tom Hosler, school superintendent, argued from statistics and personal experience that public education needs a new model. Instead of giving kids "faster horses," a la Henry Ford ("If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses") it's time for real innovation in education – and he has a vision more communities should get behind.
We closed with a rousing call to action from Ken Leslie, former professional comedian and founder of 1Matters.org, a national nonprofit that works to house the unhoused. Once a homeless addict, his life was turned around by the realization that "when you feel you matter to no one, go care for someone." Preaching the "power of one," he had the whole crowd smiling in minutes (and had me laughing in the Green Room the second he walked in). Moose fist bump, Ken!
It was a great evening for the 100+ of us gathered around the TEDxWayPublicLibrary stage, discussing together how learning to look closer and listen more attentively makes our community more interesting and more humane. So many people came up to me during the breaks to say how excited they were to have access to such a program right in their neighborhood.
It was a bit of a milestone for me too. I've spoken in public many times before, but I've never introduced the mayor and anchored a 3-hour live event. As an introvert, I surprised myself at how much I enjoyed the back and forth with the audience, the on-the-fly connecting the threads of each presentation, and the general energy of the event. I was exhausted by the end of the night – and still feeling it today, too, if I'm honest – but so glad to have been a part of it. I'm sincerely grateful to Natalie and everyone at the Way for giving me the opportunity.

What do I do in a terrorist attack?
In the last 2 days Ive been asked repeatedly, What do I do in a Terrorist attack?
This is directly related to the terror attacks in California and Paris. People are scared and rationally or not its how they feel. My personal belief is all of these attacks are to make people feel scared and react irrationally. So, regardless of my personal feelings concearning motivation or emotional reaction this is what I recommend
First you should be asking "What do I do BEFORE a terrorist attack?"
1) Get yourself healthy and in shape
No, round is not a shape. You want to survive an explosion, bullet wound or other trauma? You need to get into a condition which promotes healing instead of hindering it.
Being able to run like hell is a life saving skill. Ability to pick up your child, or 2 and run out of a kill zone is a life saving skill. Having your children remember you as the Dad who saved them is much better than them remembering you as having a heart attack in the attempt.
Look around you. There are people who are disabled who do something to keep in shape. Doesn't matter what you do, or how you achieve results, get off the sofa and DO SOMETHING.
2) Accept you are responsible for yourself
That's right, its all on you. If something happens to you, at some point you made a bad decision. Its not anyone else's fault but yours. Accept it and start thinking before you act. If you are reading this you are on the right track. If you are one of those who asked me, then you get a double word score but still its on you.
Addictions are a big part of this, and I am no exception. I have zero shame about Oreo cookies. I can eat the whole family size box in one sitting and I know it. So I don't buy them, and don't keep them where a moment of weakness could occur.
Discipline is key.
3) If you choose to carry a weapon then you are also obligated to know how to use it.
I have a simple drill I show those who I want to see survive an ugly encounter.
The disclaimer, If you shoot yourself doing this you shouldn't have anything more dangerous than a box of crayons in your holster.
Personal responsibility, enough said.
Its an oldie but a goodie because you cant fudge it, cant make it easier and you have to face exactly how good (or bad as most often is the case)
The playing card drill, or the rule of 3's. Hunt101.com
This is ALWAYS timed from the concealed carry rig you wear right now. In real clothes. That means if its winter you don't get to strip down to a T-shirt to do it.
So, from the holster, reacting to an outside stimulus( a buzzer or whistle), draw and fire 3 rounds, in 3 seconds into a 3 inch circle. 333. Use a playing card for a target, they are cheap and come 54 to a pack, for less than a dollar most places.
So simple a baboon could remember it.
Except heres the rub. You have to Identify the threat, Identify the target and Identify your surroundings in the same 3 second drill. Because life is not a range with safe directions and no bystanders.
Start at 3 yards. Yeah whatever. Bet me you can do it the first time and Im going to laugh at you. Then Ill take your car keys because Im going to make this bet hurt.
3 yards, draw, fire and hit a 3 inch circle in 3 seconds, 3 times.
9 rounds total, try not to shoot yourself here.
When you can do that, back up to 5 yards, then 7, then 10. Every round you fire is accountable, just like real life.
You are not allowed to miss, ever. Negligent homicide, manslaughter, gross negligence, stupid in public ad infinitum…..
If you miss any of the 3, ANY OF THE 3 rounds, you move back to the distance you were, in the last evolution. That means if you are 100% at 3 yards but at 5 you tank, then 3 yards is what your effective range is.
It also means you need to reevaluate what you carry. The size of the hole at the end of the barrel has less to do with the results, and more to do with your ego.
If you can shoot this out to 10 yards and you smoke it with a 22 WMR, but go up to a 9mm you miss? Guess what? You need to practice, or carry the gun you shoot the best.
4) All the wargaming in your head doesn't remove the reality you will be wrong
It doesn't matter what fantasy you have in your head about how the fight is going to go. You will be outnumbered, out gunned and surprised because they have the advantage of choosing where and when the fight happens.
That's the big secret behind Spec Ops and why they win more than loose. They choose when they fight. And they train every day.
Another secret. And this is how they fire the 333 drill so effectively. They pay attention to what is going on around them. And that brings us to …
5) Pay attention to your surroundings
This is so simple and obvious but is the first to be forgotten.
If you walk into a robbery, terror attack, industrial accident whatever….Its on you. You missed a key event, you either didn't see it, didn't hear it or just didn't trust your feelings something intangible was wrong.
You have to remove the distractions from your life. Personal responsibility at its finest.
Ive seen men who could smoke the 333 drill out to 15 yards, trip over their feet texting and walking. Its not just a range drill, its a life drill.
6) Fear is not a reason to curl up in a ball, its a motivation to get better
We all, at one point have the same dream. We are in a fight, no matter how hard we hit, how fast we run, how many times we shoot, the bad guy just wont stop.
Its a simple dream, and an obvious cause.
We simply aren't good enough and our brain knows it. We haven't trained enough, worked hard enough or spent enough time on the mat to be confident inside.
Solution, again is get off the sofa, work out on the mat. Learn a martial art, Im a huge believer in AMOK as both an empty hand and knife skill set. Its a fast learn and very effective. A great confidence builder as well when you look at phone booths and know a knife fight at that distance is not only survivable but winnable.
If you don't know how to fight with a firearm, or a blade or just bare hands take a class that teaches you how to FIGHT, not just stand in front of a target and shoot.
Most of all, you need to believe, today you aren't good enough. Training every day will make you better.
7) Know what you are good at, and more important what you are not
If you are an average guy with an office job and a family, you need to start with- How am I going to get the family to safety?
Not go into Rambo mode and get killed because you didn't see the extra bad guy behind you.
Evacuating the family is always a good first choice, and first responders off duty are of the same mindset. Get the family safe, then deal with the threat.
It might be a very fast transition, but that's where the professionals are first.
8) A weapon is a tool , not a crutch
Having it does not suddenly make you a Super Secret Squirrel Ninja. It just means you have a tool in your possession. You are the operator of the tool and you ultimately determine the results.
One of the things Ive learned over my very long career carrying a badge and gun is , even when justified does not mean you should. Sometimes you are in situations where surviving is better than being a hero.
Especially when you wont change the outcome of the event.
Train your brain first.
9) Learn more than basic first aid and carry a First Aid Kit (FAK) in your ability level
Yeah, not really sexy but bleeding out after you evac your family because you have a compound fracture from running away isn't sexy either. But a trauma kit with chest tubes and tourniquets you don't know how to use is nothing but a hazard to yourself and family.
You learned to fight, you learned to shoot, you need to learn about all the things to keep you alive in case you " Bobbed instead of Weaved"
10) Learn about people, what fits in the picture and what doesn't
The USMC has a program called the Combat Hunter.
Its written here in language pretty much everyone can understand. And its a great book for not just learning how and why, but also for first responders to see what leads to mass shootings, bombings and the people who do it.
Ive written about it before but it has become more important now with the terror attacks at home. Knowing something is not right based on who fits and doesn't, and the right decision to leave when something isn't right is the most important thing to take from this post.
What do I do in a terrorist attack?

MOST OF YOU MAY BE familiar with the history of the Newport Subdivision and the street called "Poppet's Way" in Crosby. For those who aren't, here is a synopsis:
Until the 1960's or 70's the land was owned by one family. They had been plantation owners prior to the Civil War, and had free blacks for hired hands afterward. The owners deeded a few acres of land for their hands to use as a burial ground. When the property was sold, the burial plots were sold with it, and the seller apparently made no mention of the potter's field to the buyer. Eyewitness testimony also exists that implies that the buyer should have known of its existence any way. Apparently when they cleared the land they bulldozed several wooden crosses and a picket fence. The first people to put a house above the old cemetery were Ben and Jean Williams. They noticed the strange sink holes in their backyard, but thought nothing of it. They endured strange insect infestations and animal behavior, then they began to see and be chased by black forms. When their neighbors unearthed 2 bodies while digging a swimming pool, they realized what was going on. They have since moved out of the state and written a book about their experience called the "Black Hope Horror."
Our first investigation began late on the 14th of November, 1998. When we found the correct end of the street, we noticed a negativity that was not present elsewhere in the subdivision. We proceeded into the woods beyond the barracade at the east end of the street. about 200 yards into the woods we spotted one of the black figures reported by the Williamses. The only way to describe it is black-on-black. Terri Higgins and Dean Phillips were standing only about 10 feet from it but they didn't spot it. Pete Haviland, Nichole Dobrowolski and Katie Phillips spotted it immediatly. Pete made eye-contact with it and felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. He, Nichole and Katie immediately left the area. By the time they had reached the street Pete was doubled-over in pain. We left soon afterwards. Pete's photographs revealed 2 hazy black figures, and they would be posted here but they don't scan well. He nicknamed them Bob Duckandcover and Bob Jr.
Our second investigation was conducted during the Christmas season with Dean, Katie, Nichole and her husband, Jeff. We did not see, sense or document any paranormal phenomena at that time.
Our third investigation occured a month later. Present were Dean, Katie and Terri, and the black figures were back. Katie spotted several of them circling the group as soon as the sun began to set. Then she noticed Dean standing stock-still, staring at something. She turned to see what he was staring at and spotted 2 of them staring back at him. Neither said a word at that time. Later comparison of notes revealed that they had seen the exact same thing. Dean left to borrow Terri's camera to photograph them and when he returned they had ducked behind some foliage. Terri's photographs revealed nothing unusual. Katie's camera malfunctioned during the investigation. We left soon afterwards.
Current residents claim no paranormal activity in their homes, but we have been contacted by one person who lived across the street from the old Williams home and she said she constantly felt as though she was being watched. We have also been contacted by a peace officer who used to patrol the area. According to him, the agency responsible for keeping the peace in the Newport Subdivision sometimes gets false alarms from the homes on the east end of Poppet's Way. They'll respond to the call only to find no one in the house, nothing amiss and the television set turning itself on and off.
