If you haven't made or purchased an emergency survival kit, do that right away. If you build your own go-bag or survival kit, make sure to include five-year-shelf-life food and water (most store products will spoil over time or require refrigeration), thermal blankets, and a radio-flashlight combination that does not require batteries. Look at one of the pre-made kits at SurvivorMall.com and copy what you see there. You should include enough of the basic survival products stored in a single safe place at home to cover each member of your family for at least one week. I also suggest you place a "walk-out kit" in each vehicle that you or family members might use for long trips. If you do nothing else, at least do this. Consider your particular situation. Do you live in the country or city? In a home or apartment? Do you have kids? Pets? Specific medical needs or prescription drugs? Think about what it would take for each member of your family to have the things they need besides food, water and shelter, to stay healthy. Create a list of these items and where they are located in your home. Place that list in several safe places as well as each survival bag and the glove box of every vehicle. Finally: Place copies of your important documents in a waterproof and portable container (insurance cards, birth certificates, deeds, photo IDs, etc.). Have an extra set of car and house keys.

die hard User ID: 251131 United States 06/15/2007 09:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Study: Most people don't plan ahead Published: June 15, 2007 at 6:32 AM YORK, England, June 15 (UPI) -- Contrary to economic theory, British researchers found that people often do not plan ahead when formulating a plan of action. University of York researchers say the findings may have implications for public policy on long-term financial planning. In a series of studies, the researchers show that when faced with a decision-making process designed to test whether they plan ahead, more than half those taking part fail to think ahead. One experiment included two decision points, each of which gave two options. It was designed so decision makers who planned ahead achieved the best outcome, while those that did not took a route that only appeared to be most favorable. Thirty-six percent took the optimal decision at the first node, while 97 percent did at the second node. [link to www.lightreading.com] Last Edited by Phennommennonn on 10/16/2011 12:21 PM |

This can be aided by doing physical actions similar to what you might do were the desire already real (like walking down the block imagining your on an exotic beach). To condition yourself mentally for an UNDESIRED event in the manner described in the article would be beyond stupid. It would be like trying to fireproof your home by dosing it with gasoline, lighting a match and observing what burns first. Always act from a position of strength, not fear. |

The commercial framework of this trade was integrated into ethnic, cultural, and religious systems, yet for its efficient operation could not rely solely on these social institutions. Temporary cooperation of itinerant slave traders is considered and then projected onto the broader patterns of commercial organization. It is shown that similar pressures resulted in comparable outcomes: partnerships were formed to take advantage of economies of scale in commercial services and to limit cooperation problems. This demonstrates that the organization of the trans-Saharan slave trade was economically rational and can be analysed in terms of cooperative and non-cooperative strategies. Moreover, it is argued that the trade was not restrained by social institutions but versatile in adapting its economic institutions to specific market imperfections. It is concluded that recent economic models are more useful in explaining the economic behaviour of slave traders than conventional neoclassical economics. [link to journals.cambridge.org] |

The police came by and said the dam broke and there was a flood comming. The preacher said 'God will save me.' Then the flood came and a guy on a boat said to the christian, 'get on my boat' and the christian said 'God will save me.' The next day his house is flooded and he is on the roof. A heliocopter comes by....blah blah blah. Anyway....God said 'Did you know I gave you legs?' or something like that.... LOL |
