Academic Leader Tells PhD Grads About His Beginnings at UT Dallas
Jain Went on to Become Dean of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and of INSEAD
Dr. Dipak Jain's acceptance into a UT Dallas management science doctoral program in 1983 was the first step in a distinguished academic career.
It's been 31 years since Dr. Dipak Jain received a letter from UT Dallas accepting him into a management science doctoral program 8,000 miles away from home.
The letter was unexpected. Jain had not been able to provide requested GMAT scores because access to the test was difficult from where he lived in India.
"Honestly, I come from such a remote part of India, and I had never heard the letters G-M-A-T," he said during a speech at a doctoral hooding ceremony Aug. 15.
But Jain's transcripts and letters of recommendation had impressed Dr. Ramaswamy Chandrasekaran, who taught in the program and is now an Ashbel Smith Professor of computer science and operations research.
"He took a leap of faith and sent me a letter of admission with full financial aid," Jain said.
That letter was the first step in a distinguished academic career. After earning his PhD, the Naveen Jindal School of Management graduate began his teaching career at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in 1986. He served as dean there from 2001 to 2009. In 2010, he was named dean of INSEAD, an international graduate business school based in France. He stepped down and returned to teaching earlier this year for health reasons.
JSOM Professor Dr. Ramaswamy Chandrasekaran received words of gratitude from his former student.
Jain entered the UT Dallas PhD program in 1983 and studied under Dr. Frank M. Bass, one of the founders of marketing science. Bass, who died in 2006, developed mathematical and statistical models to answer marketing questions. Bass and Dr. Ram Rao, a Founders Professor who teaches marketing, co-chaired Jain's dissertation committee.
At UT Dallas, Jain used his mathematics and statistical training to build an expertise in market segmentation and competitive market structure analysis and forecasting models.
Jain studied diffusion theory, the process of how consumers accept new products or ideas, introduced by Bass, said Dr. Hasan Pirkul, dean of the Jindal School and Caruth Chair.
"He's one that I have always listened to, read about, read his writings and tried to learn because in addition to being a distinguished academic, he's also a distinguished dean," Pirkul said at the hooding ceremony.
Dr. Shun-Chen Niu, a professor of operations management who taught when Jain was a student, remembers Jain as a persistent researcher who did not give up on tough problems. He said Jain taught courses as a PhD student.
"His small office was always jammed with students," Niu said. "That is, he was extremely popular with students. He has a great passion for teaching."
Dr. Hasan Pirkul (left), dean of the Naveen Jindal School of Management, welcomes Dr. Dipak Jain to UT Dallas.
Jain has received numerous honors for his teaching and research. He is author of three books and 60 articles and has served in editing roles for leading marketing academic journals, including Marketing Science, which Bass co-founded.
In 2003, he was appointed as foreign affairs advisor to the prime minister of Thailand and has served as a consultant and a director of major corporations.
Jain left the INSEAD dean post in March to focus on teaching. He had to cancel a graduation speaking engagement at UT Dallas last year as he underwent treatment for a brain tumor.
"I wanted an appointment with God. He refused and said, 'You still have to be a graduation speaker at UT Dallas,'" he said. "So I'm here."
Jain said his health is now excellent. In his speech to the newly hooded PhDs, Jain described how his UT Dallas professors went out of their way to help him. There was Chandrasekaran's "leap of faith" by accepting him. The professor also arranged a ride from the airport and provided him a place to stay when he first arrived to Texas. And there was Bass' patience when he turned in a hand-written dissertation, which he later hired someone to type.
Jain said the mentoring and other support made it possible to meet the inevitable challenges he faced along the way. Even criticism helped him succeed as he embarked on his academic career.
"Many students say the world is so big, how can I make a difference? To the world, you may be a person, but to a person, you may be the world."
Dr. Dipak Jain
He said that when he first began teaching at Kellogg, three students came to his office to give him some feedback after the first week of class.
"They said, 'We met and it seems you don't know the subject,'" he said. One of them said that Dr. Jain had not taught anything beyond the assigned reading.
"He said, 'You basically read the first two chapters of the book – but you read it very well,'" Jain said. "What he said was absolutely true."
He said the students made it clear they had not come to complain.
"They said, 'We all believe there is a great teacher in you and this evening is our promise we will make it happen,'" Jain said.
Jain said that his experiences have taught him something: "No challenge is greater than the force behind you." He told the graduates: "On behalf of the UT Dallas community, we are behind you."
Jain repeated an inspirational quote: "Many students say the world is so big, how can I make a difference? To the world, you may be a person, but to a person, you may be the world."
Then he made a gesture to the person who had opened up his world with a letter, which he still keeps.
"The person who is the world for me is Chandrasekaran."
"Give him a hand," Jain said, motioning to Chandresekaran as the audience applauded.

Former Marine Accused Of Shooting His Friend In The Back Argues Self-Defense
Laurence McKee, a 29-year-old ex-Marine, is charged with second-degree murder in the Aug. 27, 2016, slaying of tugboat captain Justin Scott in New Orleans
By Matt Sledge, The Advocate | Published Jan 24, 2019 7:44 PM
For more than two years, Laurence Andrew McKee stood accused of callously shooting a friend in the back in a New Orleans apartment after a night out drinking.
On Wednesday, defense attorneys presented an alternative theory: that McKee shot to defend himself from a drunken aggressor, and that the bullet could have ricocheted into his back.
McKee, a 29-year-old ex-Marine, is charged with second-degree murder in the Aug. 27, 2016, slaying of tugboat captain Justin Scott at the apartment in the 1700 block of North Broad Street where McKee lived.
With the possibility of life imprisonment looming, McKee's trial is proceeding in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court.
Assistant District Attorney Jason Napoli said in an opening statement that some of what happened inside the apartment on Broad Street may never be known, since the sole witness is dead. But he told jurors that forensic evidence painted a clear picture of a man cut down as he was trying to leave.
The two men had been out drinking earlier in the night. Napoli said that recovered text messages showed they became separated at some point.
The pair wound up at McKee's apartment. Prosecutors believe that some kind of dispute quickly escalated inside the apartment. Shortly before 1 a.m., McKee called 911 to ask for an ambulance.
"He puts on a show," Napoli said. "He knows he's got some trouble. He calls the police and says, 'My friend was trying to choke me out. He attacked me. I was in danger. So I shot him.' "
Yet when police arrived at the apartment, discrepancies began showing up, Napoli said. Most of Scott's body was lying out the apartment's door. There were few signs of a struggle inside the residence. Most troublingly, Scott had been shot in the back instead of the chest, as McKee claimed.
McKee wept as he spoke to the 911 operator. But detectives reviewing the call realized that McKee continued talking, apparently after he thought he hung up.
"What he didn't realize is that it was still being recorded, and all those tears and all that sorrow for his friend go away real quick," Napoli said. "You'll hear him say, very clearly, 'You stupid (expletive), you (expletive) up.' "
Napoli predicted the defense team would twist the facts to make it seem that Scott deserved his fate. He also lambasted McKee for showing up for jury selection Tuesday in a Marine Corps corporal's uniform, even though he was dishonorably discharged.
"How in the world are we justifying this? How in the world are we calling this necessary?" Napoli asked. "They'll attack Justin's character, they'll come up with some crazy theory, I'm sure. But it won't change the basic facts of this case."
Defense attorneys Jerry Settle and Eusi Phillips gave it their best shot in their opening statement and their cross-examination of a forensic pathologist.
They said that while Scott's family packed one side of the courtroom, McKee's loved ones assembled on the other side also deserved a fair hearing.
Phillips said his client had been the victim of a rush to judgment by police detectives. He also promised that McKee will take the stand to explain himself.
"The truth, you will see, will get in the way of this great story they're telling you," Phillips said. "We're not going to dirty Justin's name. We're not going to paint him out to be some villain. We're going to tell you what happened."
Soon afterward, jurors listened as Settle questioned Dr. Erin O'Sullivan of the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office.
A toxicology report on Scott's blood suggested that he had a blood alcohol content of 0.512 at the time of his death, more than six times the legal limit to drive.
"That is an extremely high level of alcohol in the blood," O'Sullivan said. "It's so high we asked the lab to double check and make sure there wasn't a problem with the test."
An alcohol level that high would leave most non-alcoholics comatose, she said, and she suspected that the blood sample had somehow been contaminated.
She said readings of the blood level in his urine and vitreous fluid suggested the true number was still high, between .167 and .185.
Settle also zeroed in on the state's assertion that Scott was shot in the back.
"Isn't it true, doctor, that the trajectory of that bullet could have changed when it hit another object before it entered the body?" he asked.
It was, O'Sullivan said. But an autopsy cannot reveal a bullet's path before it enters the body, she added.
McKee has been free since he posted $500,000 bail in January 2017.
Judge Tracey Flemings-Davillier is overseeing the case.

Q: Ruby bcrypt non-salt password comparison I'm confused about bcrypt password hash retrieval and comparison.  They are indeed equal, yet the comparison returns false.  BTW I am using Sinatra, not RAILS.
My code has salt in it, but I can't even get non-salted to work.  I can't see what's wrong here as it all outputs as being equivalent.
    require 'pg'
    require 'bcrypt'

    pw = 'trump_hairs'
    # salt = 'grains'           # not used for this trial

    # salty = pw + salt
    # salted = BCrypt::Password.create(salty)
    hashed = BCrypt::Password.create(pw)
    # p salted
    conn = PG.connect( dbname: 'alphaDB' )

    if true
        @res = conn.exec_params(
            %q{ INSERT INTO USERS ( username, password, email, status) VALUES($1, $2, $3, $4) },
            ['peter', hashed, 'peter@gmail.com', 'on'] )
    end

    ######## this record works out just fine.  pw is a text field

    @res = conn.exec_params(
        %q{ SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = $1 },
        ['peter']   )
    r = @res.getvalue(0,0)

    puts BCrypt::Password.new(r)
    held = BCrypt::Password.new(r)
    p held
    p held.equal? hashed
    puts (hashed == held ? "success" : hashed)

I create the password and enter a record with hard-coded fields and the hashed password.  I then perform a SELECT for the same username (no duplicates, so it's unique)(the boolean on the INSERT allows me to turn off the INSERT for repetitive SELECT trials), and I get the identical password hash.
Then it all falls apart.  It won't compare to true.  I have no idea why.  I expected it to be true.  The part I'm not getting past is from the bcrypt documentation:
my_password = BCrypt::Password.new("$2a$10$vI8aWBnW3fID.ZQ4/zo1G.q1lRps.9cGLcZEiGDMVr5yUP1KUOYTa")
my_password == "trump_hairs"     #=> true (my password inserted here)

I'm missing something, and would like to implement a salt as well.  Cheers

A: Actually BCrypt::Password overrides the == method. So in your code held == pw line returns true because it calls BCrypt's == method. When you use pw == held Ruby uses String's == method which returns false.
In that order if you want to check your hashes validness. You must use the BCyrpt::Password object on the left side.

A: Upon further investigation, the BCrypt::Password methods and parent methods return different results:
    require 'bcrypt'

    @res = conn.exec_params(
        %q{ SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = $1 },
        ['peter']   )
    r = @res.getvalue(0,0)
    puts "r:" + r

    held = BCrypt::Password.new(r)      # Password
    puts "held: " + held
    puts held == pw                     # => true
    puts pw == held                     # => false
    puts held.eql?(pw)              # => false
    puts pw.eql?(held)              # => false
    puts held.equal?(pw)            # => false
    puts pw.equal?(held)            # => false
    puts held != pw                     # => false
    puts held === pw                    # => false
    puts
    puts held.inspect                   # => "$2a$10$mmTIpDHa9VZDrYZpRj9.x.R1/ihCEcjqwQZQbHsFwnn/tzDHtd9x6"

Results:
    r:$2a$10$mmTIpDHa9VZDrYZpRj9.x.R1/ihCEcjqwQZQbHsFwnn/tzDHtd9x6
    held: $2a$10$mmTIpDHa9VZDrYZpRj9.x.R1/ihCEcjqwQZQbHsFwnn/tzDHtd9x6
    true
    false
    false
    false
    false
    false
    false
    false

    "$2a$10$mmTIpDHa9VZDrYZpRj9.x.R1/ihCEcjqwQZQbHsFwnn/tzDHtd9x6"

So I've posted this to Github and noted that the first comparator, in that order, must be observed.

Q: How to find all non duplicated items in an array of Strings? I want to find all non repeating items in an array of Strings.
Suppose I've:
String[] str = {"Red", "Red", "Green", "Green", "Blue"};

I'd like to find "Blue" as it is not repeating again.
How can I achieve this?

A: One of the solution is to create the Map with String as a key and Integer as the value. You will have to iterate through the array and increase the amount of the String in a map.
String[] str = {"Red", "Red", "Green", "Green", "Blue"};
Map<String,Integer> stringsCount = new HashMap<String,Integer>();

for (String s : str){
    if (!stringsCount.containsKey(s))
        stringsCount.put(s, 1);
    else
        stringsCount.put(s, stringsCount.get(s) + 1);
    }

And then you can print every String which was counted only once:
for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry : stringsCount.entrySet())
    if (entry.getValue() == 1)
        System.out.println(entry.getKey());

A: You could:

*

*sort the array

*create an empty list

*iterate over the sorted array: if element == previous element then do nothing else add previous element to list

At the end of the iteration, the list will contain unique elements only.
Note that this (obviously) does not preserve the original order.

A: You can use HashSet for this. For example, this should work:
Set<String> getUniqueWords(String[] words) {
    Set<String> uniqueWords = new HashSet<>();
    Set<String> foundWords = new HashSet<>();

    for (String word : words) {
        if (foundWords.contains(word)) { //O(1)
            uniqueWords.remove(word);    //O(1)
        } else {
            uniqueWords.add(word);       //O(1)
        }
        foundWords.add(word);            //O(1)
    }

    return uniqueWords;
}

So using this approach, you will have (theoretically) linear time complexity, since you get the unique words in a single loop through the array.

The Biological Reality: There ARE Psychological Differences between Men and Women

Men and women think differently - I don't think anyone will argue that point with me at all! In my work as a therapist, I see males and females totally disillusioned with the selection of mates of the opposite sex to choose from. I think that the problem is largely due to a misunderstanding of how males and females differ on the biological level, and how that difference affects everything from communication style to thought processes, and perceptions of reality. But what influences that thinking and what "biological reality" differences do males and females really have? And how does the 'sexual revolution' affect relationships and marriage?
We all have hardwiring in our brains – ways of thinking and behaving that have been biologically programmed into us over the thousands of years that the human species has been evolving. For example, males have been more inclined to promiscuity than females as their genetic programming, evolving from the caveman era when men died young, is wired to spread the seed of the species by fertilizing as many willing females as possible.
Females were biologically programmed for centuries to be less promiscuous than males, to hold up the morals of society and were instilled with strong values such as marriage, commitment, love and harmony. Since the dissolution of courtship and females' dismissal of their biological role as preserver of the species, males now expect (and in some cases demand) that females have sex with them on their terms, which, more often than not, require no demonstration of their commitment to or investment in, the female. While this behaviour can be explained partly through male programming, the change in attitudes and values in females has seen sex turn into an act for pleasure and exploration for both males and females alike to the detriment of the courtship process and thereby, commitment, marriage and a safe haven for children with both a mother and a father in the same home. The morality of men has never been the shining beacon of their character, so when females loosened up, men really loosened up! Males do have the capacity to evolve beyond this programming, and make commitments to females and their offspring, but why should they when commitment is no longer a requirement for sexual intercourse?
It is imperative for females today to re-educate themselves on their roles; as independent free thinkers who are the masters of their personal destinies and as the holders of the keys of genetic immortality. Understanding how and why males think the way they do and finding quality males who are willing to challenge the 'common' thinking is a learning process that can and must take place if the human species is ever to evolve and sustain itself.

Simply put, usually it goes to the player who has the combination of high point totals and low penalty minute totals. Pavel Datsyuk has won the award three years in a row, and is one of the finalists for the award again this year.
Joining Datsyuk on the list of finalists are: New Jersey LW, Zach Parise and Tampa Bay RW, Martin St. Louis.
Obviously, all three candidates are stellar options… but let's briefly take a look at each player (as we have done with the other awards).
As of April 12th, 2009… the recipients for three of the many yearly NHL awards were decided: The Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy (which is awarded to the most proficient goal scorer each season), the Art Ross Trophy (which is awarded to the most proficient point getter each season), and the Presidents Trophy (which is awarded to the team with the best record at the end of the regular season).
These awards are not determined by votes and as of the end of the last regular season game this past Sunday night, their winners have been determined.
Every year as the NHL regular season wraps up, I find myself attempting to make predictions as to which teams will advance through the playoffs.
This year is no different… so I've decided to break down my thoughts regarding the upcoming playoff series' of the Eastern Conference. The Western Conference predictions will be posted tomorrow.

Financial plans in place to ensure new Hebburn 'Tri-Station' plans can go ahead regardless of hurdles, say chiefs
Burnley v Newcastle United: Is it on TV? what time is kick off? where can I follow it? what are the odds?
Newcastle United make the trip to Burnley on November 26 as they look to stretch their winning run to three matches.
Friday, 23rd November 2018, 2:47 pm
Updated Friday, 23rd November 2018, 2:54 pm
Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez is preparing his side for a trip to Burnley on November 26
Rafa Benitez's side went 10 games without a win before securing back-to-back home victories against Watford and Bournemouth in recent weeks.
Remarkably, the Magpies have moved up to 14th in the Premier League table, however do hold just a one-point advantage over the drop zone.
A win at last season's surprise package will only increase their chances of pulling away from danger and in the process, mark their first away win since April 15.
What time is kick off?
Kick-off at Turf Moor is at 8pm on Monday, November 26, 2018.
Can I watch it on a live stream? Is the match on TV?
The game is live on Sky Sports Main Event and Football. It will be the sixth time the Magpies have featured in front of the live TV cameras this season having featured against Tottenham Hotspur, Cardiff City, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.
How can I follow Burnley v Newcastle live?
You'll be able to follow all the latest updates and team news via the Newcastle United section on the Shields Gazette website.
Who will be in the teams for the match?
Newcastle will be without Paul Dummett following an injury he picked up on international duty with Wales. Jamaal Lascelles, Jonjo Shelvey and Yoshinori Muto remain doubtful after receiving knocks in the 1-0 win over Watford, three wins ago.
In their place, Javier Manquillo is likely to step in for Dummett while Fabian Schar, Ki Sung-yueng and Ayoze Perez are expected to keep their places for the third successive game.
Ex-Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson will miss the clash as he continues his recovery from a hernia injury.
Joe Hart is set to feature in goal while a back four of Charlie Taylor, Ben Mee, Kevin Long and Matt Lowton is unlikely to change.
Sean Dyche has three physical strikers to select from in Chris Wood, Sam Vokes and Ashley Barnes as he looks set to stick with a two-man partnership.
Who is the referee?
The man in the middle is Anthony Taylor. His assistants are Gary Beswick, Adam Nunn while Simon Hooper is fourth official.
It will be the second time Taylor has refereed a Newcastle game this season having oversaw the 3-2 defeat at Manchester United.
What is the form of the Clarets and Magpies?
Only goal difference separates Newcastle and Burnley following the Magpies' recent revival.
Following on from their exploits last year in which they remarkably secured a place in the Europa League, the Clarets have struggled to maintain that kind of level of performance.
Without a win in their last five, Burnley will be looking to collect just their second home win of the season on Monday night.

Housecleaning, as an activity, has the unfortunate distinction of having accumulated more gadgets than tools. Maybe it's because it isn't esteemed enough to merit the distinction of its own tools. Baloney! Anything that takes this much time needs its own tools. Any other task that is taken seriously has developed its own equipment, and by now you must surely know that we take housecleaning seriously.
As we've said before, the major tool in saving time is a cleaning apron. That's what is going to make it possible for you to move your other tools, supplies and equipment around the room with you within arm's reach. And what are you going to put in this apron? Well, we happen to have a few suggestions. First, you should carry with you a set of three tools adaptable enough to be useful in all sorts of circumstances and in all sorts of rooms in the house: a heroic version of a toothbrush, a single-edge razor blade in a holder, and a small scraper or putty knife.
The rest of the stuff in the apron will be supplies (e.g., furniture polish) and equipment (e.g., cleaning cloths) needed to get the job done. Also lined pockets for debris or a wet sponge. It's that simple. But it took us four or five years to get it that simple – after dozens of design changes to make the apron's seven pockets and two loops work just right.

Raiders' Incognito suspended 2 games over personal conduct
Published 4:44 pm EDT, Friday, July 12, 2019
NEW YORK (AP) — Oakland Raiders guard Richie Incognito has been suspended without pay by the NFL for the first two games of the regular season for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
Incognito pleaded guilty in April to disorderly conduct in Scottsdale, Arizona, after being accused of threatening employees at a funeral home where his father's body was being held.
The Raiders signed Incognito in May. He sat out last season in retirement.
The 36-year-old Incognito has played 11 years in the NFL, making the Pro Bowl four times. He is a leading contender to start at left guard in Oakland.
But he has also been suspended for bullying former Miami teammate Jonathan Martin, allegedly made racist slurs to an opponent during a playoff game in January 2018 and has had two run-ins with police since he retired following the 2017 season.
Incognito is eligible to participate in offseason and preseason practices and games. He may return to the Raiders' active roster on Sept. 16.

Sale Price: $12.2
The Journey to the Sacred Garden by Hank Wesselman, Ph.D. is a Guide to Traveling in the Spiritual Realms. At the heart of spiritual awakening lies the discovery that each of us can achieve the direct, transformative connection with the sacred realms—a connection that defines the mystic. The Journey to the Sacred Garden guides us along a well-traveled path into this extraordinary experience and includes an experiential audio CD of shamanic drumming and rattling, providing us with an effective, easily learned technique for expanding awareness and shifting consciousness safely. The first goal: to find our Sacred Garden, a place for personal empowerment; as well as physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual restoration. Once there, we learn through direct experience that the garden can be used as a gateway into the other levels of the inner worlds. Anthropologist Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., reveals that our garden operates by four primary rules: 1. Everything in the garden is symbolic of some aspect of ourselves or our life experience. 2. Everything in the garden can be communicated with, enhancing understanding. 3. The garden can be changed by doing work. 4. When you change your garden, some part of you or your life will change in response. The accompanying drumming CD will help you find your own sacred garden! Anthropologist Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., received his doctoral degree from the University of California at Berkeley and has worked with an international group of scientists for much of the past 30 years, exploring Eastern Africa's Great Rift Valley in search of answers to the mystery of human origins.

Professional Surfer Felicity Palmateer Talks Best Surfing Destinations, Bikinis & Lots More!
September 27, 2018 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)
Photo Credits: @ladyslider
Felicity Palmateer is a Professional Surfer, Artist & Conservationist, from Australia. In 2015, she rode the biggest wave ever ridden by a female Australian surfer at Cowaramup Bombora off the coast of Margaret River, south of Perth. Since then there has been no stopping and she has been chasing bigger and higher waves. Felicity Palmateer talks about her passion for surfing and what it takes to be a professional one, exclusively on Women Fitness.
You are a Professional Surfer, Artist & Conservationist. How do these roles define you?
Felicity Palmateer:
Surfing has played the biggest role in my life and most of my decisions are based around surfing – where I live, who I spend my time with, my itinerary, training schedule, diet and so forth. I enjoy being really fit and a day does not go by where I am not checking the surf or planning for it in some way. And surfing is where I draw much of my inspiration from with regards to my art. The colours I use, mediums and the images I am inspired by have largely been coastal or ocean related. I have held two solo exhibitions and have a few commercial collaborations at the moment – with Nudie Juice, Billabong and iBark (phone covers). My next project includes an audio-visual element, photography and art and has been two years in the making. Stay tuned! The conservation stuff is usually all marine-based too. Understanding and helping to preserve marine life is a passion. I was included on a shark-savers mission to the Galapagos, travelled to the Seychelles where some ground-breaking reef restoration science is underway, have visited the Great Barrier Reef as a guest of Tropical North Queensland, and participate regularly in fundraising work with SurfAid International. All that and more keeps me very busy! And it's all based around my love for surfing.
Your workout routine?
When I'm home, I train at Elevation Fitness on the Gold Coast and they have great facilities. Including an altitude room, where you can work out at reduced oxygen levels. Nam Baldwin has been a big influence for me, in the past 24 months, he trains lots of surfers including World Champions Mick Fanning and Steph Gilmore, and it was Nam who helped me prep for the Big Wave events at Jaws. Before Hawaii each year I'll usually include pool training and B.E.T. (breath enhancement training). Recovery is important, I'll hit the P3 sports recovery centre when I'm finished at the gym and alternate between hot and cold pools. On the road, I'll do running, stairs, various body weight exercises and stretch. But usually when I'm home is where I'll put in the work.

Pets in my life or my pets or childhood pets: My first pet was a dog and his name was Mickey. We grow up together and he brought me joy for 13 years. I grew up in a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals. I currently have two dogs named Bear and Bella. I also have a Calico kitty cat named Penelope. They are my joy and I would not know what to do without them.
What I enjoy most about being a pet sitter/dog walker: What I enjoy most is that each pet has a different personality and they will show you what they feel and how happy they are to see you. I love to be around them and spend time outside walking or playing together.
My funniest pet moment: Every time that I get ready to bath my dogs, they jump on the bed and just stare at me with pitiful eyes. So, every time I ask: Who is going first? Bear will quickly touch Bella's back with his paw to let me know that she is going first, sometimes the technique works; sometimes he is the first one!
What animals teach us: They teach us how love is pure. They do not need fancy houses or huge backyards to live, they are grateful for what they have and they will be loyal and will love you no matter what happens.
Experience with "special needs" pets: Bear is scared of everything and he suffers from severe anxiety.

Going to the local gun range is good but very limited. Everyone should indeed visit their local gun shooting range periodically to maintain their skills and familiarity with their tools. You don't want to grab your gun in an emergency and have to spend time trying to remember how to make it go bang. But as I said, a simple gun range is limited in that you may not use a holster at most ranges, you can't move from your lane position with a loaded weapon, and it's all very calm and relaxed while you fire at a static paper target with maximum accuracy. As such, range shooting does not come anywhere close to a real life situation where you might have to defend your life or your family.
Enter IDPA which stands for International Defensive Pistol Association. It was founded in the mid 90s to provide more realistic scenarios for competition and training. It simulates self defense scenarios and real life encounters to give participants active concealed cover training that goes beyond simply standing at a range bench and killing paper. Now, no simulation is ever going to actually provide the anxiety of a real life gun battle but it at least gets you moving and using more of your brain to complete the scenarios.
I knew that I needed to be there by 8:00 AM to be able to attend a newcomer briefing, which I did. However, there were a lot of people who showed up to participate which took a long time to get them all signed in. Sixty six participants showed up which is the most they've had in several months. In addition, there were 16 new shooters all wanting to try an IDPA match for themselves. So as registration went long, so did the newcomer briefing.
At the briefing we were schooled on safety rules, protocol, safety rules, scoring, safety rules, garments (you are supposed to be dressed for concealed cover), safety rules, advice on how to approach the match as a new never been tested first time shooter, and more safety rules.
Your gun never leaves its holster except and unless directed by a "Safety Officer" (SO) to do so, or at the safe handling zone.
Your finger must never be on the trigger except when aimed and ready to fire at a threat (target), especially when moving to the next firing position.
Your gun must be unloaded at completion of each stage in the presence of the SO who must see the magazine ejected, see an empty chamber and witness the trigger pulled at which time he will declare the range 'safe' and instruct you to return the gun to your holster.
Never drop your gun. It will result in a disqualification.
Never shoot at the ground, accidently or otherwise, within 6 feet of yourself or anyone else (disqualification).
The gun muzzle must not break the 180 degree rule.
Needless to say, they take safety very seriously, as they should. They want everyone to be able to walk out of there. You are all playing with a potentially dangerous and lethal tool. But after all of that, they want everyone to have fun with it – which I think is impossible not to do. I mean, you're going to have fun. I don't know how you can help it.
So, off we went to our respective groups for the match which had already begun. There are 8 stages grouped in 4 locations with 2 each. Each group of about 15-20 people went to one of the four bays where there are 2 stages. As each group of two stages is completed, you move as a group to the next bay of two stages until everyone has completed all eight stages. On this day, that took us over 6 hours. They tell me that normally they are about 4-5 hours.
Now, normally I am a very good shot at a regular range or out at one of our fun shoots with the Big Thunder Gun Club in the desert, but this is a new dynamic. You have a lot of things to think about and you have to move too. Most of the stages required you to move either from one firing location to another or to move while shooting. On my first stage, I think I completely missed two of the targets or at least scored a "failed to neutralize" (FTN). Hey, it was my first time. My second and third stages were a little better but not much. However, by the time I got to my fourth stage, I had calmed down and was scoring much better as I took my time to aim, and some of the basics started to set in and become more natural.
The stages are set up with simulated walls as "hard cover", sometimes with windows or doors, sometimes barrels as "hard cover" and cardboard targets, which are in a rough human silhouette, that represent a threat that must be taken out. However, some of the cardboard silhouettes represent an innocent bystander or hostage, and of course, you're not supposed to shoot those. I've got to say though, some of the hostages had a bad day, although not by me. I think I only shot one in the head on my first stage.
Scoring is fairly simple. You are timed on each stage. The SO asks for you to acknowledge when you are ready, says "stand by" and a buzzer goes off giving you the signal to go. You draw you gun from concealment and proceed to attack the course and the threats. After two shooters have gone and the range is declared "safe" by the SO, we all move up to the target area where the scores are read and the holes taped up for the next shooter. The scoring is minus zero (-0) for a center of mass shot or head shot, minus one (-1) for the next ring, and minus three (-3) for the outer most ring. If all shots land in the minus three zone you receive a "failure to neutralize" (FTN) which is a minus five (-5) added to your minus threes. Any "procedural" violations such as not remaining behind cover will give you a minus five (-5). Each of these numbers represents a half second that is added to your time. They add them all up, multiply them by 0.5, and add that many seconds to your score. Simple, right? Well don't worry. They do all of the scoring. All you have to do is shoot and help tape the holes in the targets.
Most of the stages require about 15 – 18 shots to complete and one took a minimum of 22 which required three magazines. We live in a land of ten round magazines so that is the most you can have in any magazine whether it holds more or not. Most of the threat targets are static but there are some moving targets thrown in as well.
They tell you how many shots you are to put in each of the threats. It could two or three, or even two to the body and one to the head. You may have to shoot each threat with two or three consecutive shots or in "tactical sequence" which would mean that you would give each of say, three targets one shot, and then follow with a second shot to each.
I found it comforting in that the Safety Officers and seasoned veterans are all very friendly and helpful in that they want you to have a good time and learn from the experience. Several times the SO we had in our group coached me on some things I might want to work on or pointers on how to better do something. They of course, knew that I was a first timer since they give all the newbies a name tag which tells everyone that it is indeed your first time. There was never any condemnation, only encouragement, guidance and a sharing of wisdom that has come from experience.
In as much as this was my first time, I don't expect I had a very good score, as I was walking through most of the stages just to get the hang of it, (in fact they advise that for newbies). Although, I did pick up the pace a little near the end as I got more familiar with the concept. I did notice some of the other newbies having a much more difficult time with it than I, so I doubt I will be in last place. But more than anything, I was competing against myself – trying to see how I would do with something new. I'm sure I'll get better the more I do it. So I think I would give myself a passing grade. What's more, I had a lot of fun doing it. Can't wait until next time.
My impressions were all positive. If you are interested in developing your tactical skills I believe you really should try this. It is an excellent way to provide you with some practical training that goes beyond simply standing and shooting. The course scenarios at IDPA matches are designed to simulate potentially life threatening encounters and test the skills that would be required to survive such encounters. In addition, you end up meeting some great people all the while you're having a great time.
