I Will Wait Till The End…..Chapter 13

Posted: February 12, 2013 in STORY

Jenny shut her eyes closed and prayed to god to save her. He cried for help for Ron. She went numb when she felt man over her go numb and collapsed over her. She slowly opened her eyes to see a man standing with his gun pointed out other two men. As Jenny was pinned to the floor she had difficulty to see her rescuer. Tears were flowing from her eyes. Without her knowledge she was sobbing. The man without changing his expression said “its ok, you are safe now”. While he spoke he fired his gun twice killing both the men instantaneously. Jenny shivered feeling cold. The dead man’s blood was all over body. She tried to push the dead man from her body. She wanted to run away from that dead man. She tried pushing him but she couldn’t move. She said “help me, take me out from here”. The man pushed the dead man from her body and pulled her. As Jenny was hysteric she was not in right condition do anything. There she stood stained with blood. Her cheeks were swollen, lips were bleeding and eyes were puffy. Before the man could do anything. She hugged him tightly and said “what took you so long Ron, I called you over and over. Why you couldn’t come fast? He touched me everywhere and I felt snails all over my body. You promised me you will save me and protect me. What happened today? Why you couldn’t come earlier tell me Ron talk. You know I would have killed myself if he would have raped me. I am yours Ron and only yours, nobody can touch me other than you. I love you Ron…”

Before the guy could say anything Jenny fainted in his arms. He looked at the woman in his arms and his hands itched to touched the hair fallen over her closed eyes. Then something caught his attention. He pulled the chain out from her torn top. He smiled seeing the angel. He said to himself “Angel, indeed you are an angel. I envy the man whom you love so dearly.”

He slowly lifted her up in his arms and started walking towards his van. He felt guilty for not coming bit faster. Every time he looked at her face his heart cried with pain. When he realized how much effect this woman has over him he chuckled and started the engine.

(Those who cursed me thinking something bad gonna happen to Jenny please take your curse back…….:)

We will examine all your current marketing tools, data and both qualitative and quantitative results to create a strategy which you can follow to  grow and connect with your online audience to build the know, like and trust factor which will lead to sales.

The strategy document will encompass your current and future marketing objectives taking into account:

  • Your target audience – we will create specific user personas which will represent your ideal customer. Marketing copy can then be crafted with them always in mind.

  • Your business goals and objectives
  • Your current overall marketing plan
  • Your competitors
  • Your ‘why’

We believe that your customers only want to talk to authentic, responsive brands who say the kind of things they want to hear. Building a relationship with them as a brand they trust is the key to all future dealings.

Even though you may also be considering Paid Social (and indeed you should definitely have a Facebook Advertising budget if you are posting on a Facebook business page), you need organic reach too to advertise cost-effectively.

Peter Renfro has always enjoyed working, starting at the age of 15. He also has had a knack for spotting jobs in burgeoning industries.

Renfro first started his career as a computer programmer in the early 1980s, where he worked on mortgage software systems. That led to a job in 2000 in the mortgage industry, which he left eight years later as he saw the impending financial crisis due to lax underwriting standards and massive Wall Street bets on the housing sector.

Renfro found a new up-and-coming field even though he was career transitioning in his 50s: solar energy. In 2009, he helped start a company that would install panels on homes and businesses. “I thought I had a bright future, pardon the pun. It was something I really believed in and wanted to make a difference,” the Forestville resident said.

Perfume have announced an autumn release date for a new bonus edition of their album LEVEL3. The worldwide release in October will come just before the Japanese girl group make their US concert debut in early November. LEVEL3 was released in Japan last year, and the worldwide re-release will be via label Astralwerks.

“Perfume WORLD TOUR 3rd”, which will see the group perform in the United States for the first time, takes the trio one step closer to their stated ambition of “going global”. Although it’s a “global tour”, there are only five dates. The tour kicks off in Taiwan on October 31, followed by appearances in Singapore and the United Kingdom, before landing in the United States to play the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on November 9, and the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York on November 15.

EDM-focused label Astralwerks, which is parented by Universal, is based in New York and is home to Swedish House Mafia, The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim and Eric Prydz. On the revamped LEVEL3 (Bonus Edition), which will be released digitally on October 7 and on physical media later in the month, fans can look forward to two new remixes of the trio’s single ‘Spending All My Time’: one by Greek-Belgian electro DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and a radio mix.

Family Movies That You Loved As a Kid That Your Kids Will Love Now

Though quite a few attention is given to the large blockbuster summer action movie, it turns out that one of the hottest markets in a movie is own family movies. Films made for the complete circle of relatives are a special breed unto themselves because, in many methods, they become defining movies of a technology. Moreover, the class of ‘own family movie’ changed into a reasonably fluid one, and movie makers do their excellent to satisfy the desires & dreams of virtually any own family obtainable. Sounds clean, right? Consider for a 2d how commonly you’ve not tried to talk to a chum about your own family only to be met with both wild fascination or whole bewilderment at the difference from their very own relations.

All families are distinctive, so whilst a movie studio sets out to make an own family film, they’re attempting to hook up with every family member unit, thereby making a movie that has that means for all worried. This is not any clean mission.

Rather than try to wax significantly approximately the

Nation of family film protocol and politics, it is probably pleasant too, not less than, communicate approximately a few particular films that not only fit the mold of a ‘circle of relatives film’ but also bridge the space among generations. Namely, what films did you experience as a kid which are movies your children may also locate to be as exceptional? If sharing the wonders of your LP or 8-music collection are any indication, this can be almost not possible.

Let’s look at “Honey, I Shrunk The Kids”. Not only did this movie prove to be famous enough to spawn sequels, it becomes additionally a big enough hit to spawn a Disney adventure! The film handled the ramblings of a well-meaning father who become too clever for his, or all and sundry else’s, very own proper. By manner of one among his many bizarre inventions, his children, as well as the neighbor’s children, are contracted down to the scale of insects. In their minute country, they conflict nature in all of its glory, coping with the bigger philosophical impact of man as opposed to nature (by way of way of a lawnmower), in addition to the concept that nature can occasionally be packed with difficult training. We research that opposites appeal to, bullies have hearts, and that occasionally what makes us one of a kind is what makes us precise.

Our other access is “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

This is a movie about a younger boy living in poverty but additionally keeping the perpetual desire for the destiny. He becomes enthusiastic about a contest promising some fortunate youngsters a chance to excursion the sweet manufacturing facility of the titular man or woman & actually have a threat to have a lifetime supply of sweet. The younger boy and his grandfather be a part of the alternative contest winners & their respective chaperone for a tour of an area of desires. What doesn’t youngster dream of a manufacturing unit packed with not anything but candy? Lessons are taught, and we get a glimpse of a top-notch movie person that might become “meme-worthy” fodder.

Women of Texas Music

Mary Jane Johnson fencepost

Mary Jane Johnson (photo courtesy of Texas Monthly™)

March is Women’s History Month, and in recognition of that the Crossroads Music Archive at the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library has curated an exhibit entitled The Women of Texas Music.

Mary Jane Johnson La Fanciulla

The most prominent musician among those featured is Mary Jane Johnson. Counted among the great dramatic sopranos and considered one of opera’s premiere interpreters, Johnson has toured North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Among her many heralded interpretations, that of Minnie in La Fanciulla del West stands out. It has been heard on stages around the world including the Teatro Communale in Bologna, the Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago, at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, on tour in Japan with La Scala, and with the Santa Fe Opera Festival. Her career went to the next level when she appeared with Luciano Pavarotti in a televised performance as Musetta in Puccini’s La Boheme with the Opera Company of Philadelphia.

Susan Grisanti, known as the “First Lady of Classical Guitar in the Southwest,” was a recognizable figure in Lubbock, Texas music for over four decades. A gifted guitar instructor, she taught over 5,000 students during her career and served as a resident house musician at local Lubbock institutions. The Crossroads Music Archive contains the materials donated after her death in 2013. In fact, the “Susan Grisanti Memorial Fund” was established to help preserve her music legacy at the Crossroads Music Archive.

Texana Dames CD front

Beginning in the 1950s, the Hancock Family helped usher in the era of modern Lubbock Music. The family has participated in notable bands from The Roadside Playboys to the Texana Dames. The Dames was an all-female trio, with mother Charlene Hancock and siblings Traci and Conni Hancock. Their career spanned some 25 years. The Dames music varied from cumbia to country, and was a favorite for dancers.

The Heart Beats were an all-female garage rock band based in Lubbock and founded around 1966. They were led by drummer and lead vocalist Linda Sanders, along with younger sister Debbie Sanders (guitar), Debbie McMellan (bass guitar), and Jeannie Foster (guitar and keyboards.) They attracted nationwide attention in the summer of 1968 when they won the battle of the bands on the popular ABC-TV variety show Happening 68, hosted by Mark Lindsay and Paul Revere of Paul Revere & the Raiders.

The materials documenting the lives and careers of musicians both female and male can be found at the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library. In fact, our always-helpful Reference Staff would be happy to arrange for you to view them yourselves.

Robert Benitez Robles Papers

Robert Benitez Robles Autograph Party

This collection is primarily comprised of Robert Robles’ letters, manuscripts, personal documents, photos, and documentation of his service to the Mexican American community. Documents and correspondence also relate to Robles’ work for the Republican party in Arizona.

Robert Benitez Robles was born in 1908 in Clifton, Arizona to Mariano Robles and Aurelia Benitez, both first-generation Mexican immigrants from Zacatecas. During much of his life, Robles was treated as a second class citizen due to his Mexican heritage, but, as he wrote in his autobiography, was “never discouraged” and he set attending college as a goal. After a short time working in a mine in Clifton, he enrolled at Arizona State Teachers College (later Northern Arizona University) in Flagstaff, Arizona. For a while, Robles taught, specializing in teaching bilingual students. In 1944, though he was over the draft age and a father and husband, Robles volunteered to join the war effort as a transport airman for the Navy until he sustained a back injury and was honorably discharged in 1945. After the war, Robles became an insurance agent for New York Life until his retirement in 1973.

New videos circulating on social media appear to show members of the U.S. Marine Corps drinking beer bongs, partying, and repeatedly yelling “fuck n****rs.” Because when we send our troops, we’re only sending our best, right?

The Snapchat videos were shared on Twitter Friday by teacher and activist Zellie Imani, who asked, “Is this commonplace @USMC?”

According to Imani, the Marine Corps has not yet addressed the videos or issued any type of statement.

Some Twitter users promptly sought to identify the racist revelers and claimed that they are stationed in Japan, although Splinter could not immediately verify this.

Here’s another one:

Update, Sunday, 10:25 a.m.: The U.S. Marines responded to Imani Saturday via Twitter promising to investigate:

Attic Insulation Erie PA

Are you looking to save a considerable sum of money on your energy bills, regardless of the season? Do you want to ensure that your house is completely protected from extreme weather conditions? If you have answered “yes” to one or both these questions, you have to resort to attic insulation services. We are here to help you with these. We have been in this industry for quite a long time; therefore, we understand why attic insulation in Erie PA is important for you to bring down your winter heating and summer cooling electricity bills.

Why do you need attic insulation services?

Attics are the places that are prone to moisture, heat and pests. It is important to check the attics regularly so that you can identify gaps or creaks at the early stages itself and do corrective action to seal them. When you choose us for your attic insulation requirements, you don’t have to worry at all. One of our experts will reach your place at the appointed time and inspect the attic with absolute precision.

We will clean the attics thoroughly and help you get rid of problems such as dust, pests and mold, before we proceed to insulate your attics. We have a team of attic insulation experts who ensure that you can enjoy excellent climate control right inside your homes, without having to spend too much on your energy bills.

attic insulation erie pa

What do we do as part of attic insulation?

After we inspect your attic, we ascertain the extent of damage that has happened in the insulation there. We then opt for the latest insulation methods to give you an energy-efficient home within a short while. More often than not, we use cellulose insulation for insulating your attics. This is because this is not only a cost-effective and modern method of insulation, but also the most eco-friendly attic insulation methods in the market today.

What are the common methods we follow?

Attic Insulation in Erie

As part of our attic insulation services, we offer you three methods to choose from – blown-in-insulation, batt insulation and spray foam insulation Erie PA.

We usually use fiberglass or cellulose (though cellulose is more effective than any material) in this process. Here, recycled paper or fiberglass is converted into small pieces and sprayed into the attic, so that the floors and the remote nooks and crannies are covered with proper insulation. We opt for this method rarely, because it is not a water-resistant technique.

In the batt insulation process, we use fiberglass or Rockwool. Here large rolls of batts are arranged on the attic walls so that the heat can be block transferred properly through these walls. However, since it is not a water-resistant method, we don’t use this very frequently.

Spray foam is one of the best ways to insulate an attic. It is preferred by many commercial and residential building owners because it is very effective and gives them full value for their money. Spray foam insulation works because of the action of two chemicals – isocyanate and polyol resin. As these chemicals expand and combine, spray foams become very easy to apply on the narrow crevices and remote areas of your attic. This protects your attic against all types of issues such as water damage, mold, pest infestations and the like.

Call us right now to get your attics insulated at an affordable price!

Children – Set Lineage to Birth #birth #ancestors #lineage

RootsMagic 7 and prior has the peculiar shortcoming that ancestral lineage reports, charts and other important functions follow the lineage set by the parent family displayed in the last view of each person in one of the Main screens. If the last time you viewed your mother showed her stepfather as her father, then her birth father’s line is completely omitted while the stepfather’s line is included. This affects several reports and charts:

  • Ancestor narratives
  • Ahnentafel
  • Ancestor Box Chart
  • Pedigree Chart
  • Photo Tree
  • Ancestor Wall Chart

Moreover, it also affects the filter for selecting ancestors of the highlighted person in RootsMagic Explorer’s Mark/Unmark Group functions used for

  • other reports
  • GEDCOM export
  • colour coding
  • Named Groups

RootsMagic provides no option for any of these to be directed to follow the birth line despite having the feature in the Edit Person window to set the type of relationship between a child and a parent couple to other kinds such as adoptive or step. There seems to be little point to the Relationship setting because it is visible only in the Edit Person screen and is otherwise totally ignored. There has been a long outstanding Wish List item for the system to put the relationship setting to effective use.

Meanwhile, here is a potentially useful script if you have the typical family tree with several people having more than one parent couple and want to restore the focus to the birth line without having to manually search for those with other relationships to ensure that their Main View is set to the birth parents. It has been tested on a small trial database so, as always, be sure you have a backup before using it on your database or try it on a copy of your database. If you have the same database open in both RootsMagic and the SQLite manager from which you ran the script, you will not see any effect in RootsMagic until you refresh the Main Screen by switching to a different View.

Sets the displayed lineage to that of the Birth parents so that
lineage views and reports follow the birth line.
In the case of multiple birth parents (permitted by RootsMagic),
sets the birth family to the one with the highest Proof setting,
else to the lowest FamilyID.
It does not (or cannot?) cover all possible combinations that
a user might wish to allow or consider to be the preferred lineage
because a parent family (couple) may have only one member (mother
or father) and each spouse of a couple may have any of the four
proof settings for the birth relationship (0-undefined, 1-proven,
2-disproven, 3-disputed).
-- this view of the parents includes only birth parents in descending order of proof
SELECT  ChildID, FamilyID FROM ChildTable
WHERE RelFather = 0 AND RelMother = 0  -- birth relationships
AND ProofFather < 2 AND ProofMother < 2  -- relationship proof is proven or undefined
ORDER BY ChildID, ProofFather DESC, ProofMother DESC -- priority to 'proven' relationships
-- set the display lineage to the birth parents with highest level of proof and
-- do not touch persons with no parents
UPDATE PersonTable
  SET ParentID =
    (SELECT FamilyID FROM BirthCouple BC

What’s the difference between…ALL vs. WHOLE?

What’s the difference between ALL and WHOLE?

Ever wondered when you should use ALL and when you should use WHOLE? What is the difference between the two?

Both can be used with a singular noun and both mean «complete» or «every part of it», so then why do we need both words if they mean the same?

You’ll have to read all the article or the whole article to find out.

#1 We use ALL + determiner (a, an, the, every, my, his, her) + noun.
We use determiner + WHOLE + noun.

So there is a difference between word order, when we use ALL and WHOLE.

With ALL the determiner comes just after and it comes just before with WHOLE.

For example:

  • Katie spent all the summer studying for her exam.
  • Katie spent the whole summer studying for her exam.

#2 ALL is generally not used before indefinite articles (a, an)

For example:

  • She ate the whole loaf of bread. (NOT – She ate all a loaf of bread)

#3 With uncountable nouns we prefer «ALL» instead of «WHOLE»

For example:

I’ve drunk all the milk. (NOT – I’ve drunk the whole milk.)

I would like to plot 3-dimensional data on a two-dimensional scatter-plot.
Is there a way I can automatically modify the plot symbol (e.g. changing size or color) to indicate the value of a third variable? E.g. How can I plot weight vs. age and indicate the value of muscle mass for each value weight-age pair by making the plot point proportional to the subject's muscle mass?

Redefining consent will lead to changes in sexual assault charges

State Hornet

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Email This Story

The “Yes Means Yes” bill has passed, redefining when sexual consent was given from an “affirmative consent” standpoint, which breaks down how to more clearly articulate sexual assault.

The bill, created by Senator Kevin de Leon, is geared toward reducing sexual assault allegations on college campuses that accept state financial aid. The bill currently awaits Governor Jerry Brown’s signature by the end of September.

A very important aspect of the bill is the definition of what giving affirmative consent means. The bill describes affirmative consent as an ongoing clarification of consent from those involved.

A lack of consent or silence cannot be taken as consent and the consent can be revoked at any time. The bill already makes more clarifications than the simplistic “no means no” approach.

Another crucial and interesting aspect of the bill is the clarification of what circumstances make it unacceptable for affirmative consent to be given.

This includes: moments of sleep or unconsciousness, being under the influence of drugs and alcohol, the complainant cannot understand the meaning of sexual consent and activity or the complainant cannot communicate due to a physical or mental condition.

There is a very intriguing article written by Zaron Burnett III discussing and defining rape culture. In his article he explains that men participate in rape culture just by being a man.

He talks about not having to feel vulnerable when walking alone down a street, but how women do not have that option.

The definition of rape culture provided in his article according to Marshall University Women’s Center: “is an environment in which rape is prevalent and in which sexual violence against women is normalized and excused in the media and popular culture.”

He goes on to describe how such an environment “is perpetuated through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies, and the glamorization of sexual violence, thereby creating a society that disregards women’s rights and safety.”

Burnett’s perspective looks at how rape is thought of and continually carried out.

The new definition of sexual consent will help clear sexual allegations up a lot, but it would also be very helpful to educate people on what rape culture is and change the way women are projected in society.

When speaking to Burnett through email he explained how he has an optimistic view on how this bill will be interpreted in our culture.

“We’ve defined no as the refusal of someone’s advances, primarily,” Burnett said. “Traveling to the other end of the spectrum we find the definition of “yes”: a person provides consent, is conscious and understands the implications of their consent.”

He explained that from his perspective as a man, he always makes his implications clear and never invades a woman’s personal space.

“As a guy, we often wish there were clear indicators of a woman’s intent,” Burnett said. “By requiring that we ask for them, either verbally or with body language, I think that helps make clear the difference between yes and no.”

The new bill will help make sexual consent allegations more clear and more easily understood for all.

Kimberly Nava, spokesperson for Sac State stated  that it is too early for Sacramento State to comment on what they will specifically do as Gov. Brown has not yet signed the bill.

However, Nava did state that sexual violence has is a topic receiving a lot of attention and that awareness is important at this time.

“We want to make sure the campus community knows where to report incidents of sexual and domestic violence, and where to get help,” Nava said. “We will be conducting an awareness campaign beginning this semester.”

If you need violence and sexual assault services you may contact the Sacramento State Victim Advocate (916) 278-3799 or the University Police (916)  278-6851. For more information on violence and sexual assault visit

2018.03.21 Expecting a Chinese guest?

It will soon be time for a visit with the Heavenly Palace. A stranger from east, the far east, is coming our way.

It’s easy to find news reports about China’s Tiangong-1 space station, translated as Heavenly Palace, but there’s one report that prompted Scott Porterfield from Sylvania to send a link my way:

“A crippled, out-of-control Chinese space station containing ‘highly toxic’ chemicals is falling back to Earth and may strike lower Michigan. The country’s first prototype station is expected to strike the Earth around April 3.”

Even Snopes, the arbiter of fake vs. real news, says it’s going to happen. Now isn’t that something to look forward to…. Snopes does add that it’s nothing to worry about.

China launched its mini-space station in 2011. The 19,000 pound model was designed for use as a test platform for a future full-size station. Two space crews have spent time in the Palace.

Then things turned sour. The Chinese government announced in 2016 that it was no longer able to communicate with Tiangong-1. There wasn’t much more said, but other researchers have concluded that the China National Space Administration has no way to control when and where it would land.

Initial estimates put the crash at mid-March, plus or minus two weeks, but Scott sent the report calling for April 3. I suppose April 1 might be a better day for it to happen.

The craft is expected to burn up when it reënters the atmosphere, but due to its size, some pieces could survive and strike the earth. Is that what they mean by nothing to worry about? What if the space station’s toilet comes hurtling onto Morenci or Fayette?

The odds of being hit, they say, are one in a million times smaller than that of winning the Powerball jackpot. Sure, but don’t forget, someone always does win the lottery eventually.

Russia crashed a 265,000 pound space station into the Pacific Ocean in 2001. That was a better move than NASA’s first SkyLab (165,000 pounds) that crashed into rural Australia in 1979—from a mostly uncontrolled orbit.

Here are the facts to comfort you: Throughout the history of spaceflight, an estimated 11.9 million pounds of debris “are thought to have survived reëntry, with no reported casualties.” No one has ever been harmed, and only one person–a woman in Oklahoma—was brushed on the shoulder by debris but was unharmed.

And a little less comforting: “There's a good chance that gear and hardware left on board could survive intact all the way to the ground, aerospace engineer Bill Ailor told Business Insider.

For example, after NASA’s Columbia space shuttle broke up, a working flight computer was located. More good news: International space law covers compensation for damage. Someone in China will send a check, however, I’m certain you won’t get to keep the computer that just crashed through your roof.

It wouldn’t be an exciting story if nothing were said other than the fact that it will fall somewhere around the world and that no one will be injured. That’s why “experts” report that anywhere between 10 and 40 percent will survive reëntry and strike the ground, and southern Michigan is prime territory—as is New Zealand.

Heavenly Palace was 218 miles above Earth in May 2017. Falling 525 feet a day, the altitude dropped to 155 miles late last month. Getting closer and closer to burn-up day.

But will burn-up day really fall on April 3? No, no, no, that’s a Tuesday, our deadline day. We won’t have time for space debris on a Tuesday. If it falls here, you know it’s going to be five minutes after deadline and we’ll miss the coverage.

A flashy Chinese space toilet stuck in the asphalt at Main and North, and it will be old news a week later.

I am trying to see how these two are equivalent. So say Y = BX1 + e1, and x1 is endogenous. and say I have a Z s.t. E[Z'e]=0, and say the linear project of x1 onto z is given by X1= piZ + N. Now, if I were to use instrumental variable approach, I would get estimate my parameter by:

cov(piZ,y)/var(piZ), which I can rewrite as

and if I use a control function approach estimating y = BX1 + pN + e2, my parameter would be estimated by (assuming x1 = qN + l)

Now these arent these only equivalent if q =1?

Life Changing 3 Seconds

I am an avid believer in the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, actually I’m an avid believer of all the Amendments. I have a legally issued Concealed Carry License and pretty much everywhere I go, that allows legal carry, I am armed and I am vigilant. Vigilance, not to be confused with paranoia, is a state of mind, a constant awareness of your surroundings and looking for those things out of place or those actions that might shed light on a potential lethal threat. I take this right, and the responsibility it represents, very seriously.

The right to carry a concealed weapon is accompanied by a significant expectation of responsibility and associated risks, and by that I am not talking about just the risk associated with someone looking to put a bullet in your nostril. I’m talking about your actions just prior to, during, and after a lethal force encounter. Let’s look at four risks, one at a time; keeping in mind each of these risks would need a 100 page book to adequately explain.

1 – Shots on Target: If you are not extremely proficient with your weapon of choice you may open the door to not only serious litigation but also present more of a threat than the initial reason which precipitated you drawing your weapon. If you draw your weapon and expend 5 rounds at the threat and miss, you have endangered the lives of anyone in the vicinity not to mention you have just openly, and with great flare, identified yourself as a prime target to the initial threat. Even if you hit the aggressor 1 out of 5 times and eliminated the threat you have still greatly endangered the lives of innocents; and the courts will make you pay dearly for your lapse in proficiency. If your skills are not sufficient enough to end the threat with expeditious efficiency then you have become a 2nd and equally dangerous threat to innocents within 200 yards of your mussel.  That 3″ shot-group on the range at 30 feet becomes a 6″ shot group during a gun fight; and that increase only jumps 100% if you are really good and have nerves of steel.

2 – Ammo on Hand: If, after the encounter and after the local Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) has confiscate your weapon (and they will) they find ball ammo in your magazine you could find yourself in serious trouble. Especially if an “innocent” behind the aggressor is hit with your round after it passed through the active shooter. Be mindful of local laws pertaining to the type of ammo that is required, or even suggested. A suggestion on a quiet and uneventful day becomes a requirement during stormy litigation.

3 – The 3 Second Event: Let’s explain this in a hypothetical scenario. You’re at the mall, minding your own business, you hear shots and screams. Being a conscientious minded person who has a legal carry permit and armed, you run toward the commotion, with weapon drawn, to protect innocents. A police office, or armed security guard, hears the same shot and they too run, with gun drawn, toward the sounds of hostility to protect innocents.   Senses are heightened, adrenaline is pumping, and tunnel vision has set in. The LEO sees you running with gun drawn and shouts for you to stop, but the adrenaline in your system, the hysterical screams and shouts, and the plethora of activity associated with an active shooter encounter overload your senses and you do not hear the warning to stop. If you are lucky you only feel the pain of the bullet entering your body after the LEO has stopped what is perceived as the threat. If you are unlucky, meaning the LEO is very proficient, you won’t feel a thing but rather drop to the floor and are dead before you do. Keep this in mind—if you are perceived as someone worth shooting, you are worth shooting twice, or probably three times. The truth is, there’s nothing hypothetical about this; this real life scenario played itself out at a mall in Hoover, Alabama over the Thanksgiving weekend of 2018.

4 – The Aftermath: If you survive the initial encounter there are significant chances you will be taken into custody. During the investigation, if anything is found to be “questionable” or a statement you make contradicts what others say, the chance of being arrested are high. Let’s say everything was textbook. You saw, you acted, you ended a legitimate threat, and the District Attorney shook your hand as you walked out of the courtroom; all is good with the world. Not really. There will, more often than not, be a civil suit against you from the family members of the person you shot, or the person you shot if your shot was not as precise as you would have liked. Even if found innocent the legal fees along can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. The prospect of being found guilty are too pricey to even contemplate.

Like I say, each of these four aspects would require a book to fully explain so don’t hound me with, “Well, what about this, and that, and that and this…” Also like to say these are only 4 of probably 227 other risky aspects of lethal force encounters, maybe 228.

1 – Train, train, practice, practice, and practice some more, and when you have done all of that and feel good about your level of proficiency, train and practice some more… and train with a professional, not that old retired Vet at the VFW down the block and around the corner. Do not think a 3” shot group at 30 feet at the range is a measure of your proficiency under high stress.

2 – Know the law, it can help you or it can bury you. Don’t assume, just because you are in the right, that you are right.  Say nothing to nobody until you have a lawyer at your side.

3 – If you feel a need to run toward danger, be smart, be aware, and take nothing for granted. You might be the good guy but you might look like a bad guy with a gun.

4 – Get liability insurance. Costs roughly a dollar a day and many of you spend three times that much each day at Starbucks so don’t not do it because you think it cost too much. The alternative will cost you the price of a Starbucks franchise and then some. You may very well work the rest of your life to support the family of the person who just tried to kill you, and they may possibly laugh all the way to the bank while living in your house. Also, after the encounter, do not say a word (to ANYONE) until you have a good lawyer at your side. I know, I said this before, but it’s worth saying again. Your only initial comment to any LEO on scene should be something along the lines of, “Officer, I fully intend to comply with your instructions and answer all your questions, but I want to call my lawyer first.” Saying ANYTHING other than that to ANYONE may not end well. The dynamics of a lethal force encounter plays tricks on your memory.  Give yourself time to calm down and talk to a lawyer first.  Plus, keep in mind anyone you talk to about the encounter, other than your lawyer, can become a subpoenaed witness against you and what you think you told them may not be what they heard but whatever they think they heard you say is more than enough to be twisted and misquoted ending in you giving your house to a bad guy (or bad guy’s family) and you will live in a cardboard box.

2 thoughts on “Life Changing 3 Seconds

  1. As always very good information and great points to ponder and act on. On this I have a question about liability insurance. How do you approach that, if you call your insurance company with this question how would you go about asking. I have a gun, guns or other statement, would the insurance company choose not to cover you for that? Cancel all your coverage or raise all your rates? 2nd amendment rights and Gun control are a very political and emotional issue for many.

    1. Recommend getting insurance from a company specific to weapons carry… NRA has a policy and there is also others. I use USCCA ( They offer several policies for different levels of coverage.

The Helmet Law – To Be or Not To Be

Since there is no law that requires people to ride motorcycles we can surmise the main reason we ride is because we want to. We can also surmise, from our own experiences, riding is risky business.

Book Review : The Lamb’s Agenda

lambIt is not difficult to see political agendas at play in our world today. Each party has their own platform, or set of values and priorities they choose to filter their decisions through. Each one also has a list of actions they would like to take and reforms and programs they would like to institute. Their agenda is their mission statement. Their agendas are shaped by their personal convictions and the advancement of that agenda supersedes all else. In his new book, “The Lamb’s Agenda; Why Jesus is Calling You to a Life of Righteousness and Justice”, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez introduces the reader to a new agenda. The Lamb’s Agenda is not represented by a donkey or an elephant, rather has the cross as its motivating symbol. Rodriguez believes we are on the brink of the Third Great Awakening and that the understanding and embracement of the Lamb’s Agenda will bring it to pass. Rodriguez gives an opening definition of this new agenda, He writes, “The Agenda of the Lamb reconciles both the vertical and horizontal elements of the cross, a platform of righteousness and justice. In other words, the Christian nexus of a kingdom-culture ethos and a transformational mission directive that is not either-or but both-and.”

Rodriguez speaks of righteousness and justice throughout his book. He does so in relation to the cross of Christ. He writes, “The cross is both vertical and horizontal. Vertically, we stand connected to God, his kingdom, eternal life, spiritual truths, divine principles, and glory.” This is the righteousness element. “Horizontally, to our left and to our right, we exist surrounded by and revealed through community, relationships, family, culture, and society.” This is the justice element. Rodriguez believes that the church of today needs to learn to live in this “nexus of the cross”, that place where vertical and horizontal meet each other. He writes, “This nexus is the place where conviction marries compassion, where the fish intersect with the bread, where truth joins hands with mercy.” After making his case for why the Lamb’s agenda is worth out time and attention, Rodriguez lists the four enemies of the Lamb’s Agenda. First, Moral Relativism which is characterized by the absence of absolute truth in our world today. Second, Cultural Decadence which is characterized by the increase and approval of open public sin. Third, Spiritual Apathy which is characterized by the lack of fire and passion and consumer mentality of God’s people. Lastly, Ecclesiastical Indifference characterized by the lukewarm, disconnected, and spiritually inept church of today. About the church, Rodriguez writes, “We need a church a church committed to saving the lost and transforming our communities, addressing sin while confronting injustice. We need a church that will be pro-life and antipoverty, that will strengthen marriage and end human trafficking. A church is not an either-or proposition; it is a both-and community. It is righteousness and justice.”

Several chapters of the Lamb’s Agenda deal with the reconciliation of attitudes, actions, and leadership. Rodriguez speaks of reconciling Billy Graham and Martin Luther King, Jr. He speaks of reconciling John 3:16 and Matthew 25, melting God’s love for the world with the need to show that love to the “least of these”. He speaks of reconciling the Vertical Lamb and the Horizontal Lion. The most powerful chapter is Reconciling Imago Dei with Habitus Christus. Imago Dei speaks of the image of God that lives all human beings. Habitus Christus refers to the habits and actions of Jesus Christ. The marriage of these two perspectives will, as Rodriguez explains, will cause the church to refocus and refrain from choosing righteousness with justice and justice without righteousness. Rodriguez has written a great book. The Lamb’s Agenda is practical, convicting, challenging, and passionate. The message of this book, loving God vertically and caring for others horizontally is one that our churches need to hear today. Rodriguez has a winner here. Smart. Intuitive. Timely. In closing, Rodriguez writes, “I am convinced that God is not done with America and America is not done with God. For at the end of the day our nation will be saved not via the agenda of the Donkey or that of the Elephant. Our nation’s only hope is found in the Agenda of the Lamb.”

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their Blogger Review Program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

Competition Litigation

Our competition litigation practice is a recognized market leader, with top ranked counsel handling the full spectrum of client issues, from cartel investigations, prosecutions and resolutions, to immunity and leniency applications, to contested mergers and other civilly reviewable matters before the Competition Tribunal, to defence of class actions and other lawsuits alleging competition law violations and economic torts. Stikeman Elliott’s competition litigators are known for dynamic and highly effective courtroom advocacy and a razor-sharp strategic approach, and that reputation serves our clients exceedingly well as they face the Competition Bureau, Public Prosecution Service of Canada, and class action plaintiffs.

We are privileged to be engaged on virtually every significant competition litigation matter – criminal investigations, class actions and reviewable matters – in Canada. We litigate cases across the country in a coordinated and strategic way, always understanding the interplay between regulatory, criminal, civil, and reputational exposures, and with a deep understanding of and focus on our clients’ business and business objectives. We work closely with our colleagues on the solicitors’ side of the practice, identifying and working together to minimize the risk of litigation exposure.

Clients faced with criminal exposure may choose to avail themselves of the Competition Bureau’s immunity and leniency programmes, in which case we have unmatched experience and relationships with the Bureau to achieve successful outcomes and minimize other exposures. For clients who choose to fight criminal charges, our team’s fearless advocacy and creativity in tackling novel issues leads to great results. In class action litigation, which is typically commenced in multiple Canadian jurisdictions, our litigators drive to a successful conclusion on a national basis, be it a contested result or a favourable settlement. It is fair to say that we act as counsel on more Canadian class actions involving allegations of anti-competitive conduct than any other Canadian law firm, most recently on matters including credit cards and interchange fees, e-books, multiple auto parts, roll-on/roll-off shipping, air cargo, LCD, capacitors, diamonds, and franchise cases, among others.

Stikeman Elliott also defends clients in contested applications brought by the Commissioner of Competition regarding reviewable matters before the Competition Tribunal, such as competitor collaborations, marketing practices and contested merger cases, as well as acting in private business-to-business litigation. We represented respondents in the first two cases brought under the new competitor collaboration provisions of the Competition Act (one of which is ongoing), and are also currently litigating a deceptive marketing practices application at the Tribunal.

AU - Kadam, Leena AU - van Dijk, Marie AU - Kohan-Ghadr, Hamid-Reza AU - Kilburn, Brian A. AU - Hartman, Craig AU - Mazzorana, Vicki AU - Visser, Allerdien AU - Hertz, Michael AU - Bolnick, Alan D.

Randall AU - Drewlo, Sascha Y1 - 2016/11/02 UR - http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/8/363/363re4.abstract N2 - Single-gene mutations are responsible for a large number of diseases and contribute to a sizeable fraction of pediatric hospitalizations and deaths. Current methods for prenatal diagnosis of such mutations are limited because they are invasive (except for detection of circulating fetal DNA, which is safe but can be difficult to perform accurately) and most cannot be performed early in pregnancy. Jain et al. now demonstrate a way to isolate and analyze trophoblast cells, which carry fetal DNA, by noninvasively obtained Papanicolaou smears. The authors show that analysis of the DNA in these cells presents an accurate reflection of the fetal genotype as early as 5 weeks of gestation, without the risk posed by invasive procedures.Single-gene mutations account for more than 6000 diseases, 10% of all pediatric hospital admissions, and 20% of infant deaths. Down syndrome and other aneuploidies occur in more than 0.2% of births worldwide and are on the rise because of advanced reproductive age. Birth defects of genetic origin can be diagnosed in utero after invasive extraction of fetal tissues. Noninvasive testing with circulating cell-free fetal DNA is limited by a low fetal DNA fraction. Both modalities are unavailable until the end of the first trimester. We have isolated intact trophoblast cells from Papanicolaou smears collected noninvasively at 5 to 19 weeks of gestation for next-generation sequencing of fetal DNA. Consecutive matched maternal, placental, and fetal samples (n = 20) were profiled by multiplex targeted DNA sequencing of 59 short tandem repeat and 94 single-nucleotide variant sites across all 24 chromosomes. The data revealed fetal DNA fractions of 85 to 99.9%, with 100% correct fetal haplotyping. This noninvasive platform has the potential to provide comprehensive fetal genomic profiling as early as 5 weeks of gestation. ER -

Saint Mark’s Hospital is small enough to give each of our patients the individual attention they deserve, but big enough to offer the valuable services of medical specialists.

Vascular Surgery is no exception. We're staffed and equipped to treat vascular conditions and diseases of all degrees, from poor circulation in your feet to blood clots in your arteries.

Armed with the latest technology, our Hybrid Operating Room offers advanced imaging hardware to enable minimally invasive surgical techniques, and a support staff that receives ongoing training to fully realize the benefits of technological advancement, vascular surgery at St. Mark’s Hospital is at the forefront of modern medicine.

But that doesn't mean we've abandoned our old-fashioned approach to individualized patient care. At St. Mark’s Hospital, that's something we'll never outgrow.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a bulge in the portion of the aorta (a blood vessel) where it passes though the abdomen carrying blood to the abdominal organs, pelvis, and legs. Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is performed when an AAA grows too large or the aorta wall becomes too weak. Many times a repair can be done minimally invasively. Depending on the size and location, a stent (wire mesh) is inserted into the aorta to treat the aneurysm.

Carotid Endarterectomy

Carotid endarterectomy is used to remove plaque from the carotid artery, which carries blood to the brain. This procedure is often done to reduce the risk of a stroke in patients who have had transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). The affected artery is opened, cleaned, and repaired. In some situations, a stent is inserted into the carotid artery to treat the blocked artery.

Femoropopliteal Bypass Surgery

Femoropopliteal bypass surgery is used to bypass a blocked artery in the leg, restoring proper blood flow to the lower leg and foot. Doctors use a vein from another part of the body or an artificial vessel to graft around the blocked artery.

Varicose Veins Center

Do you often hide your legs because of the way they look? You may have noticed tiny red or blue bursts (spider veins). Or maybe you have veins that bulge or look twisted (varicose veins). If so, there are treatments that can help.

What Are the Average Stock Market Returns by Month?

Stock market chart

Some months have better average stock market returns than others.

The stretch from November to May tends to be positive, while June to September is often flat or negative. This is why the phrase “sell in May and go away” was coined.

From 1980-2018, April has been the best month of the year for the stock market, with an average 1.52% gain in the S&P 500. However, September has been the worst month, with average returns of -0.70%.

The average monthly S&P500 stock market returns from 1980 to 2019 were:

  • January: +0.82%
  • February: +0.29%
  • March: +0.96%
  • April: +1.51%
  • May: +0.97%
  • June: +0.02%
  • July: +0.79%
  • August: -0.15%
  • September: -0.70%
  • October: +0.92%
  • November: +1.48%
  • December: +1.11%
  • Average: +0.67%

Here’s a chart that shows this visually:

Average monthly stock market returns

How are we doing in 2019?

Stock returns in 2019 have been remarkably consistent with the average return of the past three decades.

Of course, this does not guarantee that returns at the end of 2019 are going to be good. The annual trend is just based on averages.

For example, the last three months of 2018 were terrible for the stock market, where the S&P500 tanked 19.9% from its peak.
