Hey my name is Jeff with BioNetwork and today I'm going to put your microscope knowledge to the
test. Let's take a look at some of the issues that my students deal with.
I'm going to be answering some of the questions that you've submitted. If you
haven't already, check out our step-by-step demonstration on how to use
a microscope including oil immersion. Use the link in the description below.
In this first scene our lab tech is going to make three mistakes. Watch carefully
and see if you can find all three.
Did you see them? Well here's her first mistake.
She's starting with the 10x low-power objective. Remember the low to high rule.
Always begin with the 4x scanning objective. She's only using one eye. This
is a binocular scope so it's good idea to leave both eyes open.
And last the scope should always remain flat on the table. You may need to stand
to reposition yourself to see better, but you don't want to tilt the scope and
risk moving your specimen or dropping the scope. And here she's demonstrating
the right technique...starting with the scanning objective, both eyes open
and the scope flat on the table. And that leads us to our first viewer question.
The microscope in our class has two eyepieces but I feel like I can see it
clearer with one eye closed. Do I have to use both eyes? Good question. Keeping one
eye closed can cause some pretty bad eye strain especially if you're doing it for
a longer period of time. Adjust the distance until you can see a
single circle of light in your field of view. Then you can comfortably see with
both eyes. When I was a student I remember one of the hardest things was
actually finding the specimen. I'd focus in on something and it turned out to be
a an air bubble or a fingerprint. With practice you'll learn to identify common
artifacts like dye crystals, air bubbles, and debris. Hey, here's an interesting
situation. Why are we only seeing part of the image? The objective wasn't fully
clicked into place. That's more like it. Here's another viewer question. The
scanning objective is easy to use, but I often can't find the same part of the
specimen using the higher magnifications. Any advice? This can be tough for
beginners. Let's walk through the steps and see if we can help you out.
The lab tech has the specimen in focus using the scanning objective. She centers the
specimen in the field of view. That will make it easier to find with the next
objective. Now change to the low-power objective. See how your field of view
decreases, and the specimen isn't quite centered anymore . What do you need to do?
We need to recenter the specimen. Move the stage slowly and adjust the fine focus.
You also may need more light. Let's talk about oil immersion. We need to use oil
to see at the highest magnification. Without getting too technical there's an
air gap between the top of the coverslip and the front lens. This gap actually
causes light to bend or refract. These scattered rays of light don't travel
through the objective lens and are lost to the image. Oil affects the light a lot
like glass does, so we replace the air gap with oil and suddenly we're able to
see higher resolution images. This lab tech is about to make a serious oil
immersion mistake. Do you know what it is? That's right - you don't want to use
coarse focus with oil immersion because raising the stage can crack the cover
slip slide and even the objective - a really expensive repair. So remember only
use the fine focus with oil immersion After you've finished you need to clean
the oil from the objective. Which of these products can you use? Kimwipes or
paper towels can scratch the lenses so only use lens paper. Here's our final
viewer question. BioNetwork, the microscope in your demo looks way
different from the ones in our lab. How does this video help me? Good question.
We used a fluorescent scope in our demo because it is an attached camera which
allows for video recording. Every lab is going to have different scopes, but the
fundamentals are all the same. Objectives, coarse and fine focus, diaphragm and
condenser, eyepieces... you'll need to familiarize yourself with the
controls on your scope, but you can follow all the same steps in our video.
Use the comments section below to keep the questions pouring in.

Wonky 9 Patch How to PLUS 4 Tips for Successful Quilt Blocks | Whitney Sews - Duration: 6:29.
Hi everyone! I'm Whitney and I post sewing tutorials every Wednesday here on Whitney
Sews. Today I'll be showing how to sew wonky 9 patch quilt blocks. Make sure to stick around
to the end because I'll be sharing some extra tips to make this block and all your other
quilt blocks more successful. If you haven't already, make sure to hit that red subscribe
button down below so you don't miss out on any of my future tutorials. Now let's get
into the video.
To make the wonky 9 patch blocks you will need 9 different fabrics cut into squares,
a rotary cutter, and new blade, a clear ruler, and a cutting mat. I really recommend using
a square ruler to cut your fabric. Mine is a 12.5 inch square that came in a pack with
a few other square rulers. I'll have all the supplies I used linked below in the description
box.
Decide how you want your wonky blocks to look. I went with a more symmetrical look, but you
can make yours however you want. Just keep in mind that you don't want any pieces to
be skinnier than 1.5 inches. Stack all nine fabric squares up as straight as possible.
Use a ruler and rotary cutter to carefully cut through all the layers at once. Make two
cuts in each direction – four cuts in total leaving you with nine stacks of pieces.
Take the first piece off the second stack and put it on the bottom. Then take the top
two from the third stack and put them on the bottom. The top three from the fourth stack
and so on until each stack has a different fabric on the top.
Now it's time to piece them all together. Sew the top piece from each stack together
in rows of three. Then sew the three rows together. Make sure to press each of the seams
with your iron so they all lay flat and look nice. Repeat until you have all nine of your
blocks sewn together. This is a pretty quick and easy block to sew together and once you
add some sashing and borders you can turn it into a great baby quilt or lap quilt. I'll
have a separate video later showing finishing the quilt.
Now onto those extra tips for better quilt blocks. The most important for this particular
block is to have a sharp rotary cutter blade and make accurate cuts. I switched my rotary
cutter blade to a new one right before starting. I have a little video showing how to easily
and safely change your rotary blade that I'll link right up here in the information icon.
The next tip is to have a consistent seam allowance. Not everyone can sew a perfect
¼ inch seam...but as long as you keep your seam allowance consistent
it will keep your block looking great. You also want to make sure you press every seam
nicely and alternate the directions you press the seams so they nest nicely when you sew
the blocks together. My last tip is to consider using starch. I
usually don't use starch, but it really helped on this project to keep all my cuts and seams
nice and straight without any stretching or warping.

How can I know God's will for my life? The Christian Bro Code Podcast Episode 01 - Duration: 35:28.
alright bro this is a very first episode of the Christian bro code podcast raise
your right hand and repeat after me I am a Christian bro I live according to the
Bible I bring glory to the father by being more like Jesus every day through
the power of the Holy Spirit this is my Christian bro oh let's get started
you're singing to the Christian bro code podcast a discipleship podcast for man
dedicated to adding value to your spiritual growth with your host Mario
Escobedo hey bro what's up welcome to the very first episode of the Christian
bro code podcast thank you so much for tuning in to this very first episode I
expect that there will be many more after this one and I really hope that
you'll be a faithful listener to the Christian bro-code podcast here's what I
want you to do I want you to join the conversation I don't want this to be me
just talking at you or talking to you I want this to be a conversation and so I
want you to stick around to the end of this podcast of this episode and I'm
going to tell you how you can do that how it is that you can be part of the
conversation and the community of the Christian bro code podcast and let me
tell you this before we jump into today's topic of the very first episode
of the Christian bro code podcast I am recording in the real world what
does that mean it means that I don't have a professional recording studio I
have a space at home where I'm recording so that means that from time to time you
might hear dogs barking in the background you might hear some dishes
and pots and all that stuff in the background kids screaming all that look
I'm recording in the real world I know that you know what I'm talking about
because you're a bro just like I am I'm a regular bro just like you just have to
make do with what I have so what we're going to do is that if we hear that
stuff in the background we're just going to ignore it just power on power through
because that's what christian bros do alright so let me let me set up this
this episode let me set up the theme the topic for today's episode and by the way
as I proceed through the episode I'm going to be introducing to you some
articles of the Christian bro code and in today's topic I think I'm going to
bring out two maybe three articles of the Christian bro code and so stick
around to listen to some of those articles for the Christian bro code but
let me start by saying this when I was 16 around 16 I wanted a read 1998 1988
Toyota 4x4 pickup truck I was about 16 years old and I had my first summer job
and you've got to know that I was convinced that this was God's will it
was God's will for me to have a red 1988 Toyota 4x4 pickup trunk how how did I
know that it was God's will for my life very simple I had my first job it was at
a window tinting shop my job was pretty much just to keep the place clean well
there was a co-worker there his name was Julio and Julio had a red 1988 Toyota
4x4 pickup truck beautiful thing big tires
red grade racing stripe racing stripe across the side roll barred KC light I
know you know what I'm talking about inside grey grey cloth interior black
leather on the dashboard all that stuff and he had a great stereo system in
there it wasn't one of these like the mini trucks that used to be around in
the late 80s early 90s all year was nothing but boom boom boom bass no
stairs this stereo in Julio's truck was it was nice it was nice good clean sound
nice thumping bass but still nice clean sound and so I fell in love with this
truck and at some point I became convinced that it was God's will okay
God's will for me to have that truck or one just like it and so I asked Julio if
he would sell it to me of course he knew that I'd never be able to buy it so he
said yeah sure I'll sell it to you and so from that point forward I started
praying just as often as I could for that red 1988 Toyota 4x4 pickup truck
because I knew it was God's will for me to have it and so when I go to church
any time they'd preach it really didn't matter what the sermon
about or what the preaching was about I would be the first one at the altar it
could be a sermon about marriage and of course I wasn't married at 16 I didn't
care I was the first one at the altar and I was praying and I was asking God
God I know this is your will for my life so please open the doors open the
floodgates of heaven and provide the way for me to have this pickup truck now how
did I know that it was God's will very simple because of my prayer all right
two things in particular that I was praying that convinced me that it was
God's will for me to have this red 1988 Toyota 4x4 pickup truck the first aspect
of my prayer is without this is without till the Lord Lord I know it's your will
because anytime I Drive that truck and I I drive onto the high school parking lot
of my school I'm going to have the stereo really loud I mean Lord that has
to be why Julio you moved Julio to put that great stereo system in there it's
for me right because anytime I anytime I drive on to the parking lot of my high
school that music is going to be loud and it's gonna be nothing but Christian
music and so everybody is going to know that I'm a Christian and then I would
add this on top of that prayer God there are some youth from our church who can't
come to our Thursday night youth group service I know it your will for me to
have this truck because I will go pick them up now with prayer like that with
logic like that you can see how I was convinced that it was God's will for me
to have that 1988 Toyota 4x4 pickup truck and as you're listening you
probably saying yeah bro I can totally feel it I I totally feel it man your
prayers were sincere and by the way my prayers were really sincere there was no
doubt in my mind they were sincere sincere prayers that I was elevating to
God because everyone's going to know I'm going to Christian I'm a Christian and
I'm going to go be able to pick up people to bring to youth group well you
might be able to guess that I didn't end up getting that read 1988 Toyota 4x4
pickup truck I something went wrong something went
wrong with God's will somewhere God or I messed up and of course it wasn't God it
was me now many many years later I did end up getting a Toyota it just isn't
exactly what I had in mind in fact I still have this Toyota it's a 2005
toyota sienna minivan I've been driving this minivan
for 11 years we recently got a new car but of course my wife is driving that
I'm stuck with the 11 year old minivan which by the way raised two girls when
they were young toddlers which means that that minivan has spills stains all
over the place and there's there's this smell in that minivan that I have no
idea what it is and I haven't been able to get rid of it something went wrong
with God's will I was praying and I was convinced that I was supposed to have a
red 1988 Toyota 4x4 pickup truck and I ended up with a minivan and as you're
listening you can probably relate to what I'm talking about because I'm sure
that there have been times in your life when you were convinced that something
that either you want it or you sensed was right for you or for your family you
felt that it was God's will for you and it didn't turn out the way that you
expected or you wanted and you were left a little bit confused about God's will
for your life we're about this situation or whatever maybe it was a job maybe it
was a moving to a new town buying a house whatever but there are probably
been times when you've thought one thing about God's wood and something
completely different happens and so here's here's a question or a problem
that I want to tackle in this episode of the Christian bro-code podcast figuring
out God's will for my life is there a better way or should I just
guessing because honestly sometimes it feels that I'm kind of guessing when it
comes to God's will for my life now it when I say that here's kind of what I
mean if I can give you a visual figuring out God's will for your life I've often
thought of it in this way it's kind of like trying to hold on to a fish that
you just pulled out of the water it's it's wet it's slippery and you can kind
of kind of think I've got it I think I've got a hold of it but then it's
slippery and it's flipping and floundering all over the place and
sometimes you've got a really good grasp on it but most of the time you don't
it's just slippery it's just kind of going all over the place and you know
sometimes that that can be how God's will for your life may feel that
sometimes you have a really good idea a really clear direction about what God's
will for your life is but a lot of times it feels like if you're just trying to
grasp it somehow and you can't really hold on to it and I know that as a
Christian bro one of the things that you want is to live your life according to
God's will for your life and so that's why I'm posing that question to you or
that question in this episode figuring out God's will for my life is there a
better way or should I just keep guessing because sometimes it does feel
like I'm guessing and before.we or or as we continue here's something I want you
to know about God's will God wants you to know his will for you he's not
playing some sort of cosmic guessing game with you saying nope
guess again nope guess again and then having a laugh with the angel saying can
you believe that bro actually thought that that was my will what a wild get
what a crazy guess now God isn't playing some kind of cosmic guessing game with
you when it comes to his will for your life he wants you to know his will for
you the problem as I see it isn't so much with the sender that is God it's
with us that the receivers God hasn't stopped communicating his will for you
or for any one of us but sometimes it's just that we're not in a place where we
can receive that communication so with with that having said that here's the
big idea for this conversation the conversation of this very first episode
of the Christian bro-code podcast here's the big idea that I want you to walk
away with after listening to this episode
to figure out God's will for your life be in a place where you can hear God's
voice I'm going to repeat that this is the big idea the one thing I want you to
walk away with after having heard this episode the big idea is to figure out
God's will for your life you got to be in a place where you can hear God's
voice where am I getting that from 1st Samuel Chapter 3 this is the story of
the prophet Samuel but this is before he became the prophet Samuel as you and I
know him the great prophet to Israel sent by God
the one who anointed the first two kings of Israel this is before all of that
this is when Samuel was still a little bro he wasn't a full-grown bro yet he's
still a little bro but in 4 Samuel 3 in that very first episode that we read
about Samuels life Samuel was doing two things that put him in a place where he
could hear God's voice and remember if you want to figure out God's will free
life you have to be in a place where you can hear God's voice I see him first
samuel 3 that samuel did something do two things in fact that put him in a
place where he could hear god's voice now if you remember the story
Samuels mother Hannah made a vow to the Lord that Samuel would serve God for the
rest of his days and now samuel is there at the temple serving under eli as the
fulfillment to the valve that his mother hannah had made now what's the first
thing samuel did to put himself in a place where he could hear god's voice
the first thing he did we find out in verse 1 samuel was serving the lord
verse 1 says the boy samuel ministered before the lord under eli that word
ministered another word for it is served the boy samuel served before the lord
under eli so if you're having trouble figuring out what God's will for your
life is you need to put yourself in a place where you can hear God's voice and
one of the worst things you can do if you're trying to figure out God's will
for your life one of the worst things you can do is to do nothing is to go to
church and just get there when it starts sit down enjoy the service and leave as
soon as it's over and not think of for the rest of the week now notice how
Samuel and this is before Samuel knew God's will for his life he doesn't know
at this point that he really was called to be this incredible prophet for the
people of Israel doesn't know that yet he hasn't been read that hasn't been
revealed to him yet the Lord hasn't spoken to him yet and yet even before he
know God he knows God's will for his life he is already serving that's that's
key because I feel that there are a lot of bros out there who are trying to
figure out God's will for their own life or for their family or stuff like that
for their work their career but they're so focused on that that they forget that
if you're going to figure out God's will for your life you've got to serve you've
got to be doing something in service to the Lord now listen I'm going to share
with you a Christian bro code article right now it's actually article number
five of the Christian bro code Christian bro code article number five this is a
personal conviction of mine my wife and I we've been living this way for as long
as we've been married but I want to share this with you as a from one
Christian bro to another Christian bro Christian bro code article number five
but Christian bro serves at the place where he's being spiritually fed let me
repeat that Christian bro code article number five a Christian bro serves at
the place where he's being spiritually fed now listen to me there's nothing
wrong with you serving at your kids school volunteering that it's fantastic
there's nothing wrong with you serving at the soup kitchen there's nothing
wrong with you handing out blankets under bridges there's nothing wrong with
you serving at it not at nonprofit organizations charitable charitable
organization at all those things all that stuff is awesome that stuff is
great you should be doing that that's good stuff however it's my personal
conviction I think I can back this up with Bible that a Christian bro serves
at the place where he's being spiritually fed in my opinion I think
the the first place you should be serving the the place at the very top of
your list of where you should be serving is your local church the place where you
are being spiritually fed I just take that and I think I think that's solid
advice I think that's a solid article for the Christian bro code a Christian
bro serves at the place where he's being spiritually fed now let me tell you this
that even we you're serving there may be times where
when you're serving yeah you're putting yourself in a place where you can hear
God's voice but don't expect everything to be daisies and roses right it's not
going to be completely easy the path isn't going to be free of obstacles and
let let me share with you an experience that I had that really made me question
if I was doing the right thing when it came to God's will for my life now let
me set you up for this let me set up the the background and the story for this I
had been married for about a year and a half this was in about 2001 I've been
married for only a year and a half our daughter was literally our firstborn
daughter was literally one week old and we had just moved to Waco Texas from
Fort Worth Texas just moved to Waco Texas where I was going to start a
degree at Baylor University now I mentioned that because I knew that this
was God's will for my life because I was doing this to prepare
myself even more to serve God so how couldn't this be God's will for my life
all right so it's the first day that we get to
Waco my brother-in-law his name is Tony he drove up from San Antonio and he
helped us move Thanks I'm still I'm still very thankful to Tony for doing
that that's a real burl right there anyway we had just unloaded everything
from the moving truck at our new place in Waco unpacked boxes all that stuff
and my wife said hey we need some ice would you go down to the convenience
store and get some ice so Tony and I get in the car and we head on over to the
convenience store only about three or four blocks from the house where we were
living and we get there no parking in the front so we have to park on the side
of the convenience store and we can see behind the convenience store from where
we're parked there's this dumpster there and in front of the dumpster there's
this guy without a shirt and he's wearing samurai pants I kid you not no
shirt on wearing samurai pants that's not strange enough the dude was
practicing samurai sword was on the dumpster he had a real life
as far as I could tell from the distance where I was
he had a samurai sword and he was practicing his samurai sword moves on
the dumpster and he wasn't going to call crazyer no no it was very methodical
very strategic just practicing his samurai sword moves on the dumpster at
the convenience store three blocks from the new house where my wife of a year
and a half was and where my one week old daughter was Tony and I just looked at
each other and he looks at me and says bro where did you move to and that
thought was running through my mind too I was like God seriously I think I've
been married for a year and a half I'm I'm barely becoming a man you know it's
about that age and I was about 24 or 25 where you feel that you're becoming your
own man right you're you're kind of breaking the ties with your with your
home with your parents and you're you're becoming you're becoming your old man
I'm a man I'm providing for my family I can protect my family and all of a
sudden Here I am in this new town and three blocks from my house I didn't know
dude lived I just needed three blocks for my house at a convenience store this
guy was practicing the samurai sword moves believe me that moment right there
was a moment when I doubted if I was doing the right thing in following God's
will and I thought it was cool I thought I
thought things were well because I was doing it because I wanted to serve God
now that feeling kind of past and something that really helped me become
Vince that what I had done was God's will for my life was that we found a
church there in Waco first banished Assembly of God Church and Waco shoutout
we loved that church with all the people of that church and we just started to
serve at that church we would I mean I would play the keyboard on the worship
team I taught some classes young adults Sunday School classes and we also
cleaned the church that we were we were in charge of an entire wing of the
church and we vacuumed we clean restrooms we clean chalkboards audits we
just we just served and through serving number one it confirmed that yeah we
were doing what God's Will was for us at the time but number two with time
that gave us clarity as to where God was leading us and I'm convinced that
because we were serving at the place where we were being spiritually fed
that's the reason why we were able to have such clarity as we moved forward as
to what God's will for our life and for our family was so again Christian bro
code article number five a Christian bro serves at the place where he's being
spiritually fed if you're having trouble figuring out God's will for your life to
start serving and I would say start serving at your local church now what's
the second thing samuel did samuel pursued god's presence the first thing
was that samuel served the second thing is that samuel pursued god's presence
look at what verses two and three four samuel chapter three verses two and
three say they say this one night eli this is the high priest under whom
samuel was serving eli whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely
see he was lying down in his usual place verse three the lamp of god had not yet
gone out and samuel was lying down in the house of the lord where the Ark of
God was now look at what look at where samuel was he was lying down in the
house of the Lord where the Ark of God was you probably know the Ark of God as
the Ark of the Covenant and for the people of Israel the Ark of the Covenant
or the Ark of God represented God's very presence the Ark of the Covenant and for
the people of Israel I think it's safe to say that it almost embodied for the
people visual it embodied God's very presence and that's where Samuel was he
was near God's presence now check this out Samuel have been serving all day at
the Tabernacle he was doing whatever a little bro does when you're dedicated to
serve at the tabernacle he does that ll day every day and then when it's time to
go to bed when it's night-night time like we say with our five-year-old
foster daughter when it's night-night time Samuel doesn't go like to a bedroom
somewhere over there he goes down he lies down in the house of the Lord for
God's presence is and I I have to believe that this wasn't the only time
that Samuel I have to believe that Samuel did this
content that this was a practice of his that he was continuous in the habit of
lying down in the house of Lord where God's presence was for God's Ark was
Samuel pursued God's presence if you're having trouble figuring out God's will
for your life let me tell you this forget about pursuing God's will just
pursue God there's nothing wrong with pursuing God's will and asking God hate
show me what your will is but it can become a dangerous thing when you put
pursuing God's will above we're in front of just pursuing God so the right thing
to do is to pursue God and when you do that you put yourself in a place where
you can hear God's voice because you're pursuing God of course when you pursue
God's presence you're going to be in a place where you can hear God's voice and
consequently you'll be able to hear and determine what God's will for your life
is so here's another Christian bro code article Christian bro code article
number three I should hire like an English do to read these write read the
Christian bro code articles hiring my neighbors English it really is I wonder
if it you could give like a good English sound to these articles right I'm gonna
I'm just going to go ahead and do it Christian bro code article number three
a Christian bro must be serious about pursuing God's presence a Christian bro
must be serious about pursuing God's presence let me share with you another
another experience that I had ironically enough this took place when we made
another movie we've moved a bunch of times in our marriage this happened when
we moved to San Antonio to become pastors of the church we were on staff
now Westover Hills espanol this happened just like the thing that happened in
Waco with the samurai sword guy that happened on the very first day that we
moved to Waco this experience I'm going to share with you happened on the very
first day we moved to San Antonio now understand that when we moved to San
Antonio we did research because we knew that this was God's will for us and we
knew that this was our last move that we wanted to spend the rest of our ministry
days at Westover Hills espanol so we did research and we say
we want to find a place to live where we will eventually buy we got here when
rented and we don't want to be moving school districts and schools and all
that stuff so we did a lot of research we looked for good schools we looked for
good neighborhoods something that was still within our budget but that was
good you know and we found this place in Northwest San
Antonio that we fell in love with and we good schools good neighborhood etc etc
etc so we moved in and the day that we move in all of my wife's family is there
at the new house with us she's the youngest of six siblings and five of
them and her parents live in San Antonio so everyone was at her house helping us
unload it's the it's the end of the day the ladies my wife and her sisters they
go off to buy some food for everybody and so at the house it's just me my two
brothers-in-law Tony and David and all the kids all the nieces and nephews and
cousins we're all there at the house and we're still doing those things at the
house we're up in the second floor of the house and all of a sudden we all
hear this commotion outside we run to the window that's facing the street and
we're kind of it's not a cul-de-sac but it's a little curved so we can see two
houses down from us it's almost directly in front of us kind of like a cul-de-sac
but not really but we can see 2010trip us I'm gonna have Tony and David come on
to the podcast when we do it so they can verify everything I'm saying two houses
down from us there are like three or four police cars a SWAT team van guys in
bulletproof vest vests with assault weapons shotguns pistols bulletproof
vests they just come pouring out of this SWAT team van and they're about to
conduct this raid on the house two houses over from where we had just moved
in have two daughters and a wife little daughters at that time they were like
ten and seven my wife and it's one of those things that again I start thinking
did we hear God right did we make the right move now
Tony the bro who was there with me and Wako he was there with me again and
almost like instantly it was like we both remembered the hueco samurai sword
guy and Tony looks at me and I look at Tony and Tony just like shaking his head
and I think he told you something like this bro you don't know how to pick
houses something's wrong with you and I what in the world is going on well it
turns out just as parenthesis it turns out that it was a misunderstanding I
ended up talking to the neighbor the next day and he was freaked out of
course it was a misunderstanding they had the wrong guy who had the wrong
house that bets things right but the guy bro tells me the next day yeah man I'm
sitting at home watching TV and I hear this knock on this door but it's like
this forceful knot and I go and when I open the door there's these flashlights
shining at me and all these dudes with assault weapons pointed right at me it
ended up being a mistake there wasn't him that they were looking for but Kimmy
imagine that situation can you imagine being two houses down on the very first
day that you moved into a house and you see this you're thinking did I move in
next to a drug dealer didn't what what's happening here and you can begin to
doubt God's God's will for your life but this is where I'm saying that a
Christian bro must be serious about pursuing God's presence because it's in
God's presence that has a bro you can go and maybe the weakness that you can't
show or don't want to show in front of your wife and in front of your daughters
you can show that weakness in God's presence you can be weak in God's
presence in fact the Apostle Paul said and one of his writings that God's
strength is perfected in our weakness and as Christian bros I know it's not
our thing we don't want to be weak we don't want to show weakness in front of
our kids and in front of our our wife that's fine but school is something that
a bro does but there are times we do have to show weakness in the best place
for a Christian bro to do that is in God's presence because it's in God's
presence for we're strengthened it's in God's presence where we're comforted
it's in God's presence where God tells us hey don't worry about the SWAT team
I've got everything under control it's all right you made the right move
don't worry I'm with you going to continue guiding you and I can
remember after that moment I'm thinking God we moved to San Antonio to answer
the call to pastor and this is happening this isn't the right way this isn't a
good way to start off our pastoral career and I can remember having to get
into God's presence and saying God you need to strengthen me you need to you
need to reassure me that this is the right thing that we're doing and I've
learned as a pastor just as a Christian bro the importance of pursuing God's
presence that's why it's Christian bro code article number three a Christian
bro must be serious about pursuing God's presence when you do that that's one of
the things that you have to do to put yourself in a place where you can hear
God's voice and this is that's the big idea for this episode to figure out
God's will for your voice I'm sorry to figure a God's will for your life you
have to be in a place where you can hear God's voice you do that by two things
Christian Braille code article number five a Christian bro serves at the place
where he's getting spiritually fed and Christian bro code article number three
a Christian bro must be serious about pursuing God's presence so let me throw
that word of encouragement out to you that word of exhortation that if you're
trying to figure out God's will for your life and you're having trouble you're
frustrated you really don't know what direction to take I would say serve and
start by serving at your local church and do what you have to do to pursue
God's presence read your Bible daily half time and prayer spend time in
worship don't don't delegate your worship time
just two Sundays or Wednesdays or whenever you're in church set apart
sometimes where you have personal and intimate worship time with God where you
don't ask for anything all you do is you worship you're just in this presence and
all you do is worship a Christian bro must be serious about pursuing God's
presence and so those are the two things that I see that are necessary to put
yourself into place where you can hear God's voice and that will result in God
revealing his will for your life too you all right bro that's it for this
episode and I really hope this added value to your spiritual growth and

(MUST WATCH)18 Ways to Prepare for Economic Collapse | Surviving the Coming Economic Collapse - Duration: 45:30.
Nuclear warfare is not necessary to cause a breakdown of our society.
You take a large city like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago — their water supply comes
from hundreds of miles away and any interruption of that, or food, or power for any period
of time you're going to have riots in the streets.
Our society is so fragile, so dependent on the interworking of things to provide us with
the goods and services that you don't need nuclear warfare to fragment us anymore than
the Romans needed it to cause their eventual downfall.
— Gene Roddenberry
While some may consider such a discussion a waste of time, more and more people are
coming to the conclusion that preparations of some sort are warranted in our current
troubled environment — on many fronts.
How much preparation individuals are willing to do is usually in direct correlation to
their belief that something catastrophic could happen, making life as we know it a much more
difficult task.
It is a proven fact throughout history that when disruptions of any kind occur, those
who made even the smallest preparations typically fare much better than those who gave no thought
at all in this regard.
Today I want to share with you a list I have compiled of the things that could potentially
happen — and that threaten our way of life in a small or large degree.
There is no way to predict these things, but anyone with common sense can see that the
possibility is likely we could experience one or more of these events at some point
in the future...
Any single event or combination of events could cause terrible and debilitating circumstances
for a short or long period of time:
Natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, tornados, volcanic eruptions, solar flares,
earthquakes, and other geophysical events Possibility of wars, nuclear wars, nuclear
reactor meltdowns, and radiation fallout Financial meltdown (derivative, debt crisis,
economic collapse and/or bond implosion) causing currencies to implode and governments to topple
Problems with the exploration, delivery, or production of oil, the lifeblood of modern
economies Spread of disease such as the Black Plague
or a bird flu pandemic Power grid failure
Political anarchy or revolution Racial strife or civil war
Electromagnetic pulse event
With any of these scenarios listed above (and there is a host of others I have probably
not even thought about), you could have localized, national, or global unrest and even war for
an indefinite period of time depending on the scope and duration of the event(s).
An item that is not on the list — but could be equally devastating to individual families
— is the loss of a job.
Losing a job can be a catastrophic event if one is not properly prepared.
Most families find themselves living paycheck to paycheck with little in the way of savings
and almost nothing in the way of preparations.
For years, I had brought up the issue of preparedness to a close friend of mine.
When I first started talking about it, my friend and his wife basically blew me off...
but I kept bringing the topic up.
Eventually they thought it prudent to at least get some sort of food storage together.
Their family was accustomed to an upper middle class income and living comfortably in suburbia
with their three children...
About a year after making their food preparations, the breadwinner of the family lost his job
and ended up working a series of almost minimum wage jobs trying to make ends meet.
He kept applying for better-paying jobs in his field of expertise — but no matter how
qualified he was nobody was interested in hiring someone at his previous salary level
or his age (late fifties).
The family's lifestyle was devastated and they eventually lost their home...
In a recent conversation with this friend, he told me that without their food storage,
things would have been immeasurably more difficult.
He thanked me for being a good friend and pushing the issue when he and his wife weren't
listening.
The family is now living a greatly reduced lifestyle, but keeping their heads above water
and continuing with their preparations.
I share this story because on an individual basis, there is a host of things that can
happen in which being prepared could make a huge difference.
We often, as a people in general, terms take things for granted and think 'this' or 'that'
will never happen to us.
In addition to a major job loss due to a myriad of reasons, you could lose your health or
the ability to do your job.
Unfortunately, things of this nature are happening to more and more people every day.
In fact, I'm certain all of us have been affected to some degree by similar stories of friends
and relatives.
Our Current State of Affairs
The world in general seems afflicted on so many different fronts.
When you look at the list above, any rational person could easily see one or more of these
scenarios occur within their lifetime.
Aside from the geophysical things that seem to be going haywire, and could be explained
simply as the planet's cycles, there are plenty of man-made catastrophes that loom
on the horizon...
Never has the planet had as many people as it does now.
With increased population numbers, there is increased pressure for resources.
This is a key point on why you want to stay invested in commodities of all kinds.
More countries seek nuclear devices than ever before and recent advancements in technology
make this much easier than any time before in history.
Biological and chemical weapons are also much easier to manufacture — and are being stored
by an increasing number of very scary countries.
Oil markets are tighter than ever as demand from countries like China and India increases,
but new supply cannot keep up with the increasing demand.
The financial debacle of the world economies needs no introduction to my readers.
In short, bad times — really bad times — for any number of reasons could and probably will
be coming to a location near you.
Unless you and your family take this possibility quite seriously, if and when something does
happen, you could very well find yourself in some extremely difficult circumstances.
Just look at the latest news coming out of Greece, as reported by Reuters, below...
This is happening right now — and it's only going to spread.
When the political and economic systems of entire nations collapse the consequences are
devastating.
Earlier this year pharmacies and hospitals in Greece were unable to provide life saving
medicines due to a shortages caused by a freeze in the flow of credit from manufacturers to
distributors to patients.
A collapse in the country's economy has forced many Greeks to turn to black market
barter economies and has left millions financially devastated, with no hope of finding an income
stream for the foreseeable future.
The credit system of the entire country is in shambles.
So much so that reports are emerging about food shortages and hunger within the Greek
prison system, suggesting that serious problems in the food delivery chain have begun to materialize.
As Nigel Farage warned recently, we are beginning to see the rise of extreme political parties
as a consequence of the total and utter desperation of the populace.
Today the news gets even worse.
Greece's Regulatory Authority for Energy (RAE) announced an emergency meeting to deal
with what can only be construed as a tell-tale sign that this crisis is very rapidly reaching
critical mass and may spiral out of control in the very near future:
Greece's power regulator RAE told Reuters on Friday it was calling an emergency meeting
next week to avert a collapse of the debt-stricken country's electricity and natural gas system.
"RAE is taking crisis initiatives throughout next week to avert the collapse of the natural
gas and electricity system," the regulator's chief Nikos Vasilakos told Reuters.
RAE took the decision after receiving a letter from Greece's natural gas company DEPA,
which threatened to cut supplies to electricity producers if they failed to settle their arrears
with the company.
You may have thought the financial collapse of 2008 was bad.
That was just a warm-up.
The main event is staring us in the face, and the whole of Europe has front-row seats.
What is happening in Europe is just a precursor for what will eventually be coming to the
United States...
I personally witnessed what can happen within a very short period of time when food is no
longer available to the public.
I was in my early twenties, living in Paris, France.
Because of an extended truckers' strike, the food stores were cleared out within 24 hours
of the announcement.
Within five days, normally law-abiding citizens took to the streets and began threatening
anyone who had food...
Those with no food quickly crossed the line of sanity and started desperately looking
to take food from those who had it by any means necessary.
These events were never properly covered by the news media (what a surprise!), but I saw
firsthand how uncivilized a so-called "modern country" can become within a matter of days
because of a lack of food.
If I had not witnessed this myself, I probably would not believe this could happen so easily.
And even as a strong young man, I found myself quite frightened at times before the trucks
started rolling again.
That particular truckers' strike lasted three weeks — but it left me with a lasting impression.
The following are Items to Consider that I feel are prudent as you make your own preparations
based on the problems that could potentially threaten our way of life.
Each of the items below could fill a book... but my intent is to at least get you thinking
about the most important things related to being prepared.
1.
Should I stay or should I go?
Many have already decided where they will go if and when any such disaster occurs.
One of the questions I get more than any other regarding this topic is: Should I stay in
the United States or leave to another country?
Personally, I know many who have already left the United States — and they have never
looked back.
I have been invited to their retreats in Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina, and the Caribbean
Islands, and they seem very happy with their decision to leave.
This is a huge decision.
My hope is that the following discussion may be of some help when thinking about this topic.
Because I travel internationally so much in my search for quality mining assets, I often
compare notes on my trips with other folks (geologists, newsletter writers, etc.) about
their travels...
One of the realizations you see firsthand as you travel extensively worldwide is the
extreme wealth, extreme poverty, and extreme corruption that exists in all of its world
flavors.
If you think the United States is corrupt, you should try going to Peru, or Bolivia,
or Panama.
And if you think those countries are corrupt, you haven't see anything compared to Russia,
Haiti, India, or some places in Africa...
The fact is corruption and the growing global police state is EVERYWHERE!
So while we certainly see much to complain about in the United States, which is definitely
going the wrong way fast, from what I have seen in most other places on the planet, the
U.S. is still less corrupt than most.
There are bad apples everywhere throughout politics, local police, FBI agents, and most
certainly the court system — but for every bad apple, there are probably three times
as many honorable people who are truly just trying to do their jobs.
Leaving the country is a decision you must make before the event takes place due to the
sheer amount of time and effort it takes to accomplish such a task.
You must also think about being away from family and friends who don't share your
enthusiasm to leave the country and what affect that could have on everyone over time.
For most, I think it's probably best to just hunker down in your own country (U.S.
or Canada) and prepare as much as you can.
If you can afford a retreat cabin somewhere far away from the big cities, that would probably
be best — but again, you still need to get there once the event occurs.
Studies have clearly shown that once a SHTF (Sh*t Hits The Fan) event occurs, you have
two to three days to get to where you ultimately want to hunker down.
After that, travel becomes extremely dangerous and it is unlikely you will reach your final
destination.
Highways will become kill zones targeted by the bad guys.
To a gang of armed looters who forgot to prepare or plan ahead before the event, there is not
a better target than an RV loaded down with stored food, ammo, and gold.
Don't be foolish and attempt travel once things have gone south: If you need to get
somewhere, plan to leave the moment the event happens and arrive where you want to be within
72 hours.
This may require several false starts (meaning the situation looked bad at first, but didn't
materialize, and you need to return home) on your part as events start to unfold.
But it's better to be safe than sorry if you are planning to get somewhere when an event
happens.
Military strategists know from historical accounts of what happens when governments
fail or when SHTF events affect a country: The rule of thumb is that roads are to be
avoided at all costs.
If you cannot afford a retreat cabin of some sort, there are things you can do to hunker
down in your own home...
First, you need to stock up and find a way to defend it.
Like-minded friends and neighbors can be a huge support network — as long as they have
prepared as well.
There is a great book (it's not well-edited, but has solid content) on how to live in your
home and defend it called Holding Your Ground: Preparing for Defense if it All Falls Apart
by Joe Nobody, which in itself is a lesson in laying low.
This book isn't about turning your home into a concrete bunker armed to the teeth;
it's more about using cosmetic deception to fool would-be marauders into thinking your
place has already been hit.
It includes plenty of clever techniques that go far beyond "shooting back."
Ultimately, everyone must decide for themselves based on finances, family concerns, and individual
preferences what he can or cannot do in his preparations.
Hopefully, this discussion will help you make the best choices for what is in your best
interest.
2.
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
This is a good motto to live by, despite how you think about things.
Individuals can still hope for the best (that things can and will eventually work out),
but what good is your prosperity going to do if you don't have anything to eat or
a safe place to hang out for an extended period of time?
Why not prepare while you still can — when things are readily available and can still
be purchased at cheap prices?
The coming hyper-inflation will make any such purchases beforehand look very intelligent...
To prepare for the worst, you need a plan.
Why are most people so against doing basic preparations that could be the difference
on how they survive — or whether they survive?
History shows time and again that those who prepare always fare better than those who
did not.
Having a plan and being determined to act on that plan will always be the best way to
handle any contingencies, should they occur.
After disaster strikes, your mind is going to be racing around like a car on a race track.
Pre-planning and having a written set of measures to take will make someone's life go much
smoother when the SHTF.
Your own personal plan is ONLY what best fits what you are going to do during and after
a disaster.
People should also have back-up plans — Plans B and C, at least — because nothing ever
seems to go as planned.
Haphazard approaches to the aftermaths of catastrophes are kind of like a chicken running
around without its head.
3.
Prepare 72-hour "bug-out" bags.
This is an easy, cost-effective preparation that makes a ton of sense — no matter what
happens.
Even a small preparation like this can have an enormous impact on how you survive the
first few days after any type of catastrophic event.
I'll bet there were a lot of people after Hurricane Katrina that would have loved to
have such a bag for each member of their family...
This could be a backpack or bag of some sort for each family member that contains all the
items that individual may need during the first 72 hours after a disaster strikes.
Items to include in such a bag would be toiletries, important papers (see below), change of underwear
and clothes, some bottled water, snacks, a few bags of freeze-dried food that only require
two cups of hot water to reconstitute within self-contained bag, water purification device,
metal cup and small pot for boiling water, backpacker mini-cook stove with fuel, sleeping
bag, towel, ability to make fire, flashlight with extra batteries, glow sticks, ground
cloth, tarp, rain gear, plastic forks, knives, spoons, parachute cord, personal cleaning
wipes, a first aid kit and medication, good sharp knife and a multi-tool, fishing line,
small fishing hooks, compass, cash, physical gold and silver, map of areas you may need,
and any other items that would make sense for you.
Special items required by the elderly, babies, and pets need to be considered as well.
Important paperwork you should bring with you includes: birth certificates, insurance
policies, passports, medical records, pet medical records, bank account information,
deeds and titles to cars, homes etc., computer backup.
Gather these and put them in a suitable container and wrap in plastic against the elements.
Having such preparations after a tornado, hurricane, or any calamity would allow you
to grab and go because it's already prepared.
Each member of my family has such a bag.
I keep each one of them in the basement of our house in a heavy-duty large trash bag
for protection against the elements.
4.
Understand what "just in time inventory" is — and how this can affect you.
Most Americans take for granted the intricate systems that make it possible for us to engage
in seemingly mundane day-to-day tasks like filling up our gas tanks, loading up our shopping
carts at the local grocery store, obtaining necessary medications, and even pouring ourselves
a clean glass of water...
When we wake up each morning, we just expect that all of these things will work today the
same way they worked yesterday.
What very few people have considered is the complexity involved in the underlying infrastructure
that allows goods, services, and commerce in America to flow.
Fewer still have ever spent the time to contemplate the fragility of these systems or the consequences
on food, water, health care, the financial system, and the economy if they are interrupted.
The truth is our "just in time" inventory and delivery systems leave us incredibly vulnerable
to a nationwide disaster.
You see, it is very expensive to hold and store inventory, so most manufacturers and
retailers rely on a continual flow of deliveries that are scheduled to arrive "just in time,"
which significantly reduces their operating expenses.
This is considered to be good business practice for manufacturers and retailers, but it also
means that if there was a major nationwide transportation disruption, our economic system
would grind to a halt almost immediately.
Once store shelves are picked clean, they would not be able to be replenished until
trucks could get back on the road.
In the event of a major nationwide disaster, that could be quite awhile.
A report prepared for legislators and business leaders by the American Trucking Associations
highlights just how critical our "just in time" inventory and delivery systems are,
and assesses the impact on the general population in the event of an emergency or incident of
national significance that disrupts the truck transportation systems responsible for carrying
some ten billion tons of commodities and supplies across the United States each year.
A shutdown of truck operations as a result of elevated threat levels, terrorist attacks,
or pandemics would, according to the report, have "a swift and devastating impact on the
food, health care, transportation, waste removal, retail, manufacturing, and financial sectors."
So too would events such as an EMP attack or a coordinated cyber-attack that could shut
down global positioning systems and the computers responsible for inventory control.
Another potential scenario that is more likely now than ever before is liquidity problems
within the financial system stemming from currency crisis or hyperinflation...
All of our "just in time" delivery systems are built upon the unhindered transfer of
money and credit, but when credit flow becomes restricted or money becomes worthless, no
one will be able to pay for their goods.
Likewise, no one will trust the credit worthiness of anyone else.
This is exactly the scenario playing out in Greece right now and the consequences on the
health care industry in that country have left many without life saving drugs.
When there's no money, no one will be transporting anything.
The effects of a transportation shutdown for any reason would be immediate (in some cases,
within hours) and absolutely catastrophic.
While an event that disrupts truck transportation systems may seem unlikely to many, recent
history suggests it is fully plausible — and the blowback can be devastating...
A day after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, panicked government officials stopped
all transportation flow into the region, forcing hundreds of trucks loaded with emergency supplies
like food and water to wait for permission before they could enter the area.
As a result, thousands of residents of the city were left without items essential for
survival.
It took days before truck routes were re-opened and supplies were allowed to flow.
Government officials acting on limited information, lack of knowledge, and personal politics were
responsible for restricting the flow of goods into New Orleans, potentially killing hundreds
of people in the process.
What this incident demonstrated is that when the trucks in America stop, all commerce and
delivery stops with it.
5.
Educate yourself on and take measures to store food.
There is plenty of material available on the Internet about the best ways to store food.
I personally have read many books on the topic, and one of the most important features is
trying to gather materials that have a long shelf life and which keep their nutritional
value...
Most store-bought items have very short shelf lives and don't work well for long-term
food storage.
Canned goods can work, but these must be stored in a cool, dry environment well below room
temperature for increased shelf life (but not freezing).
Costco and Sam's Club are best for these types of purchases.
Freeze-dried food can also work, but can be rather expensive — and the taste can sometimes
be questionable.
(There are many different manufacturers, and you need to educate yourself before purchasing.
I like tasting the items first before making any major purchases.)
Better yet is to store staples such as wheat, rice, beans, sugar, oats, etc. — which,
if stored properly, can last up to 30 years.
I look at my food storage as an investment, and I want it to have a long life.
There are various methods of storing these staples, and each person should consider what
method would work best for their circumstances.
In my own search for getting food storage together, I have come across some great resources
that may be able to help you as well...
One company that has many of the products I ended up buying is Grandma's Country Foods
located in Salt Lake City.
They have a wide assortment of items related to preparedness and their pricing is excellent.
The product they are most famous for is their powdered milk.
I have tried at least a dozen different powdered milk products, and this is the only one my
kids and I can actually drink.
They also have 45-pound containers of white or red winter wheat, which is ideal for long-term
storage.
You then, of course, have to have a way of grinding this wheat to make flour, but you
get the idea...
Some other items that I have tried from Grandma's Country Foods that I really like are their
canned real butter (long shelf life) and dehydrated foods, which taste better than others I've
bought.
(Another good source for good tasting freeze-dried foods is Mountain House.
An Internet search will give you multiple sources for obtaining Mountain House products.)
6.
Obtain water and purify it.
In my search for "safe drinking water," I found what I consider the best available situation
on the planet...
The Lifesaver water bottle uses the latest technology to provide clean, pure drinking
water.
I have spent a lot of time searching the best way to purifying water, and in my opinion,
there's nothing better.
Also under the water category, it is wise to consider some form of water storage — whether
it's five-gallon containers, 55-gallon plastic drums, or some other form of storage, all
of which can be obtained from many different sources.
The bottom line in water preparedness is to always have a safe source(s) of clean drinking
water and a way to store it.
To most this may sound absurd, since you can get clean drinking water from the tap in your
home, but in times of emergency and/or civil unrest, the water may be shut off — or you
may be displaced from your home and will need a way to access clean water.
This leads to the discussion of having a stocked-up safe haven place with two sources of water
that is far away from a major city in case of a SHTF event.
This is one of the most rehashed subjects of survival, but probably the most important
one.
Most people just assume the taps will continue to flow and water will be there.
People need to know that unless water is from a spring, it will likely need to be purified
— and this means some reliable filters or boiling (which requires heat from a fire along
with pots to boil it in).
Aside from drinking, water is also needed to rehydrate food, make milk from powder,
and of course, for personal hygiene.
How much water will be needed and used is something that is often vastly underestimated.
7.
Know how to protect yourself.
This almost certainly means owning a firearm and knowing how to use it to protect yourself
or others.
Many TV survival documentaries show people who feel they can defend themselves with knives
or clubs, but in reality, they are going to lose 98% of the time against someone else
with a firearm.
Someone that has been specifically trained on how to use firearms in a defensive manner
will almost always win the day in a gun battle.
You can't just own a gun; you have to know how to use it at a very high level.
You also need to know how to clean your weapons and take care of them.
Access to a gunsmith may or may not be available to you during an emergency situation...
Some people think they cannot use a firearm against another person, but this feeling changes
abruptly when they see one of their family members at risk.
Some people still cannot use a firearm in any circumstance, and these people should
consider some form of self-defense such as the non-lethal devices (stun batons, pepper
sprays, TASERS, even baseball bats).
People can feel that everyone will come together and rebuild society, and many good people
will — but there are plenty of bad people in this world.
And it may come down to you or them.
Everyone needs to practice over and over with any self-defense armament they have so there
is no hesitation when it comes to saving one's life from someone that is willing to take
yours or your loved ones'.
For a handgun, I recommend a 45-caliber for men and a 9MM for women.
Most women find the kick of a 45-caliber handgun too much to handle when shooting and are more
comfortable with a 9 MM.
Colt, Smith and Wesson, H&K, Sig Sauer are some of the best name brands in handguns to
consider if you don't already own a handgun and need to purchase one.
A 45-caliber handgun has more stopping power than a 9 MM, but any well-placed shot with
any type of gun can mean game over for an intruder or attacker with malintent.
Some other types of guns to consider are a good defensive shotgun (12 gauge) with large-size
buckshot and a long-range rifle with a quality scope.
If you are not familiar with guns, it is best to find a friend who is who can help you through
the process of buying handguns, shotguns, or rifles.
Once you have the guns you want, it then becomes necessary to know how to safely use those
guns without hesitation if needed.
If you are not familiar with the handling of guns I highly recommend you find someone
that can properly train you in a safe environment.
I have sent my entire family to what I consider the best gun training that exists on planet
earth for civilians.
The name of the place is called Front Sight and is located an hour outside of Las Vegas,
Nevada.
More on them at www.frontsight.com.
If that is too far to travel, there are plenty of other training facilities around the country
you can find with a local search on the Internet.
For those who live in Canada...
From what I understand, it is illegal to own handguns in Canada — but not hunting rifles.
I recommend getting familiar with the process of obtaining any kind of weapons the Canadian
government will allow citizens to own for hunting purposes or self-defense.
Unfortunately, the "bad guys" always have illegal guns — even in Canada.
So it is in your best interest to go through whatever permitting or paperwork hassles necessary
to obtain legal weapons of any kind in your own country.
8.
Have a way to cook food in case the power is off.
A story below from someone who experienced an earthquake serves as a great reminder why
we want to have the ability to cook our own food during a crisis...
A few years ago, I remember people waiting in long food lines after the San Fernando
earthquake hit California.
Many of the people in the damage zone spent hours in breakfast lines, then long lines
for lunch, then a repeat for dinner.
They had to spend many hours a day in food lines because either they had no food reserves
or had no means of cooking their stored food.
A little preparation can go a long way in preparing for emergencies.
Had these good people stored a little food, fuel, and invested in a good quality Dutch
oven, they would be set for cooking in their backyard instead of relying on Federal troops
to supply their family's nutrition.
Good quality Dutch ovens are fun to use, the food always tastes great, and they're invaluable
in emergencies.
They require charcoal to prepare your food.
Another option is a Volcano cook stove, which also uses charcoal — but saves two-thirds
of the amount normally needed when cooking with Dutch ovens.
Charcoal is safe and easy to store, eliminating the need to store dangerous liquid fuels for
emergency cooking.
Most good Dutch oven cooks choose Kingsford brand charcoal because of the consistency
of the product.
If it takes 15 briquettes to cook a chicken once, it will likely take 15 the next time.
9.
Understand the psychology of desperate people.
This is a difficult one.
After a SHTF (Sh*t Hits The Fan) event, people will not behave normally.
That neighbor who was in control during many minor emergencies may be the one pounding
on your door with whacked-out eyes demanding what you have because they did not prepare
for anything.
Someone in your own survival group may just blank out in a zombie-like stare.
Unexpected times bring out the best and worst in people — and you need to prepare for
this possibility.
You yourself could lose it.
Again, preparing for this will help should it occur.
You always hope that disasters will bring out the best in your fellow human beings,
but often this is not the case.
10.
Maintain proper hygiene.
This is one of the top priorities within the armed forces because disease and sickness
can and do take down the toughest of soldiers.
People must realize that after a terrible disaster, it is not like someone going camping,
comes back dirty, and taking a nice long shower or a hot bath...
After a SHTF event the water to the faucets, as well the hot water heater, may not work.
Bathing on at least a semi-regular basis is necessary to avoid all sorts of bacteria from
building up on the skin and causing a variety of concerning ailments that will then have
to be treated.
People should plan on how they will keep themselves clean — think sponge baths or using personal
wipes as an option.
11.
How to dispose of waste and proper sanitation.
In third world countries and the pre-flush toilet era, one of the leading causes of illness
and death was (and still is) improperly discarded waste.
If the toilets won't flush because there is no water to make them work, human waste
is going to be a huge whopping problem for people trying to survive.
Even improperly burying human excrement can lead to disease.
Portable toilets, toilet paper, and disinfectant (bleach, for one) should be one of the top
items in any survival kit.
Disposal of other trash is an issue that can bring hungry dangerous animals around drawn
to the stench.
Burning of trash is one method; plastic trash bags and the means to find some place to dump
them is another alternative.
12.
Learn to control pests and other vermin.
This is a problem that led to about half of Europe dying several hundred years ago with
the Black Death.
Fleas and ticks carry some terrible diseases.
Even people that stay inside their own homes will have to deal with this problem.
People outside will have to contend with the fleas, ticks, flies, mosquitoes, mice, rats,
and so on...
There are many repellents in nature that can help: citronella, even the smell of garlic
will repel most vermin.
Stocking up on insect and other commercial repellents is always an excellent idea.
It only takes one bite to make a person deathly sick.
13.
Understand radiation fallout and how to protect yourself.
This is one of the least understood of the survival precautions taken.
There are hundreds of nuclear power plants that could fail after the world as we know
it goes down the tube.
There are still tens of thousands of nuclear weapons available for war should countries
decide to use them.
Fallout is something that you might not even see... and until you are sick, you might not
even know you have been contaminated.
The purchase of a radiation detector that is protected against EMP is a wise idea.
Understanding about radiation accumulation dosage (rad) and how to shield oneself from
exposure is paramount.
14.
Learn first aid.
Treating yourself and/or others will probably be the only thing someone can do, as medical
professionals are going to be few and far between.
Many places offer free classes on first aid because they want people in the community
to be prepared.
A good first aid book along with a first aid kit is something every household should have
before, during, and after a disaster.
Primitive conditions should be expected when anyone is helping someone after a catastrophe.
A stockpile of antibiotics is always a good idea.
Even acquiring the skill of making your own antibiotics can save lives as infection is
something that will become an epidemic, especially with minor cuts and abrasions.
My family has gone as far as being trained to stitch up wounds.
We decided as a family that we would learn this skill in case anyone we knew was in need.
We have purchased the sterile suture kits and could stitch small to medium size wounds
as good as any doctor at this point.
We have been trained by medical professionals on a whole assortment of skills — from putting
an IV in someone's arm to treating major trauma.
This also requires having the right supplies and equipment.
From my viewpoint, this is a skill set that is valuable in any circumstance — but particularly
in SHTF events when medical personnel may not be available in a convenient time frame.
15.
Learn about nutrition.
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are nothing to fool around with.
Just consider what scurvy, the lack of Vitamin C, can do to someone...
Many survivalists and "preppers" make the critical mistake of only being concerned about
calories to keep them going.
Certain vitamins (A, B1-B12, C, D, E, K), minerals (Calcium, Copper, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium,
Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium, Selenium, Zinc) and trace minerals are necessary to
keep a body going.
Each person needs different amounts and any survival food supply should take this need
as important as the food itself.
Many survival foods have some of what your body needs, but sadly lack in others...
Vitamin and mineral supplements should be stocked with food if someone is unsure about
what they are getting.
Trace mineral drops are a liquid that can solve this problem, and are a good addition
to any emergency supply.
16.
How to start and maintain a fire.
This is for everyone.
Having a fire and keeping it going when you need it has been the essence of survival for
thousands of years.
Fire cooks, heats water, keeps you warm, sterilizes items, and gives light.
Having a lighter, matches, and a starter is one thing; but actually keeping the fire going
is another...
Making sure the fire does not cause damage to your home or shelter is something not everyone
thinks about.
Burning of toxic wood or other material is something to remember as well.
While most everyone thinks that using a fire is rudimentary, there is much more to it.
As a matter of fact, a church group recently tested some of their members and gave them
matches to start a file.
Most of the people had trouble starting a basic fire even though they had matches.
This is a skill that you must acquire that allows you to consistently start a fire anywhere
at any time.
You should also learn to start a fire without matches.
There are several books listed at the end of this report that can show you how this
is done.
17.
Learn how to grow food and/or find it.
People's supplies will only last so long, and eventually self-sufficiency will mean
acquiring your own food — by either growing it or hunting for it.
Many people are into seed storing, and in many cases, growing your own food will feed
the family.
However, growing food has many drawbacks that people need to look at.
Water is an issue in dry areas as irrigation is very man- or animal-power intensive.
One of the gravest things to contemplate is actually guarding your yield, as two-legged
problems could be a bigger issue to your crops than some beetle infestation.
Hungry people will see food growing and take it, 24 hours a day.
No one can grow enough food to feed all those seeking food.
From a practical sense, it might be a better idea for some to go the hunter-gathering route.
There are many good survival shows on television today that are very informative on surviving
off the land.
Learning these skill sets can make a huge difference in any survival situation.
18.
Last-minute items to secure from a grocery store.
Hopefully you already have your long-term food storage and other preparations in place:
canned goods, grains, rice, pasta, paper products, and freeze-dried foods that store well over
time...
This should allow you to concentrate on these other items while most other people are trying
to secure what you already have.
Once a SHTF event occurs, you may want to quickly go to the grocery store to secure
these last-minute items before the shelves are empty.
These are typically items that don't store well for the long-term, but would be critical
to own once a breakdown occurs.
Studies have shown these short-term storage items go first when a crisis happens.
Most of these products have a shelf life of less than 18 months:
Bottled Water Powdered Milk
Pancake mix (never use beyond shelf life, as this has been known to cause toxic shock)
Ramen Noodles Popcorn
Cereal Beef Jerky
Cooking Oils Nuts
Dried Fruits Power Bars
Juice Powders Spices (salt, pepper, etc.)
Honey Crackers
Baking Essentials (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder)
Coffee Alcohol for medicinal purposes or for bartering
Hard Candies Baby Food, Diapers, Wipes
Pet Food These are just some suggestions that people
need to address now — before trying to survive the aftermath of a horrible event.
People who prepare have to realize that when civilization stops functioning, so too does
everything that most of us depend on.
There may never be a safety net there for us WHEN our stocked-up survival supplies run
dry.
Much of survival is having supplies — as well as backups for when food, water, and
other necessities cannot be found.
The other part is being ready for everything our new situation could throw our way.
For this, we all need to learn survival skills.
When someone thinks about their personal needs, an individual can probably add many more survival
skills to the items we have talked about above.
You want to become quite proficient in these skills before the SHTF so you and your family
have a better chance of surviving.
Doomsday Prepper Shows
Lately I have been entertained by the recent "Doomsday Prepper" shows on television
that portray the preparations of people who are concerned about various potentially life-threatening
scenarios.
In most of these cases, while many have made some great preparations in some instances,
they are woefully unprepared in other key circumstances...
In one case, there was a lady who was obviously very prepared with food, but wanted nothing
to do with other important preparations such as protection.
Here she is on national television telling the world where she is and all about her food
preparations.
She has absolutely no protection and won't even consider it.
In my opinion, she clearly does not understand how many unwanted people are going to come
for her food when a major crisis hits.
Some of those people will probably not even think twice about killing her to obtain it.
If you have not yet watched any of these shows, they can give you some ideas for your own
preparations.

Famara Diedhiou signs for Bristol City as club smash transfer record with £5.3m - Duration: 3:02.
Famara Diedhiou signs for Bristol City as club smash transfer record with £5.3m
BRISTOL CITY have smashed their transfer record to sign striker Famara Diedhiou from French club Angers. 3million deal eclipses the £3. 2m City paid two summers ago to the same club for Jonathan Kodjia, who moved to Aston Villa for £15m last year.
Senegal international Diedhiou, 24, has agreed a four-year deal and becomes the Championship sides second new summer signing. Italian defender Eros Pisano, 30, arrived on Tuesday on a free transfer from Hellas Verona.
Robins boss Lee Johnson said: I think hes going to be a huge player for us. He fits the bill for us because hell complement all of our strikers perfectly.
Hes powerful, hes quick and I think hes got the potential to get even bigger and stronger physically.
Forward Diedhiou scored nine goals in 36 appearances in Ligue 1 last season for Angers, who paid £1. 36m to sign him from Sochaux last summer.
City were in the market for a striker after 26-goal Tammy Abraham returned to parent club Chelsea.
Johnson added: Im absolutely delighted. Obviously its our record signing, which is amazing. Its never easy to bring in a player when the competition is so high.
Diedhiou started out in the French lower leagues with ASM Belfort, Epinal and then Ajaccio before joining Sochaux in 2014.
He was Ligue 2s leading goalscorer in the 2015-16 season while on loan at Clermont before moving on to Angers, and has made six appearances for Senegal.

Jessica, Great Financing For Military - Duration: 1:31.
My name is Jessica Skaggs and originally I am from a small town in New York but currently
I am stationed at Fort Drum New York.
I'm completing my Master's in Procurement and Acquisitions Management.
Using the Bursar's office to handle the Topup program using the Post 9-11 GI Bill was
absolutely seamless.
I was a little nervous because I didn't know initially when I signed up for the degree
program if it was going to be a situation where I had to pay it upfront, because these
things always get so muddy or cloudy, but for anyone who is thinking about using Webster
and using their GI Bill in addition to TA they are absolutely 100% knowledgeable for
their military students.
And all you have to do is call them and let them know what you're plan is and they
walk you through all of the steps that you need to take and they literally hold your
hand and tell you what you need to do next and if you have any questions and they tell
you what to fax and what to mail and what to send.
It is absolutely seamless and I never had an issue, not one time.
So it was really a pleasant experience and I recommend it anybody.
My name is Jessica, and I am proud to be a Gorlok.
