Very important message that can save your life
Important message
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor , and in the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side… If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

|
(October 9, 1916 – December 1, 2010)
Family and Education
Millican was born in Wilson, Arkansas. As a young man, he worked as a part-time reporter for Dun and Bradstreet while earning a bachelor of science degree in Business and Religion from Union University. He graduated in 1941 and was named pastor of Olive Branch Baptist Church in Mississippi.
Millican later entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kentucky. But, he returned to Jackson, Mississippi to serve as a coordinator for the 44th College Training Detachment of the United States Army Air Forces from 1943 to 1945.
He married Frances Hilliard on May 15, 1945 in Jackson, Tennessee.
Millican returned to school, and in 1946 earned his master of arts degree in Economics from George Peabody College, then joining the Commerce Department at his alma mater Union University. He would move south to Gainesville, Florida in 1948, to earn a Ph.D. in Business Finance and Economics from the University of Florida. Millican joined the university faculty, and was appointed the Assistant Dean of the Warrington College of Business Administration in 1956. Soon thereafter, he left for Texas where he became Dean of the School of Business Administration at Hardin-Simmons University.
In 1959 he moved to Tampa, Florida, to become Dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of South Florida.
University of Central Florida Presidency
In 1965 he was appointed the founding president of a new state university in Florida, then without a name or even a campus. Millican, with the advice of a citizen advisory group, selected the name “Florida Technological University,” though it is now known as the University of Central Florida.[1] The campus site he selected was just east of Orlando, Florida. He is also credited with establishing twin tenets for the university, “Accent on the Individual” and “Accent on Excellence.” Millican also chose the new university’s motto: “Reach for the Stars.” And, he was a co-designer of its distinctive “Pegasus” seal. The highlight of Millican’s presidency was at his new university’s commencement ceremonies in 1973, when he played host to President Richard Nixon.
Millican stepped-down as university president on January 31, 1978, but remained on the faculty. He was given the title of “President Emeritus,” and taught classes in finance. Due to his role in shaping the university, Millican is considered by many to be the “Father of UCF.”[2]
Later years
After leaving UCF, Millican served as the president of nearby Lake Highland Preparatory School from 1982 to 1985, and continued as President Emeritus-Consultant until 1993. Millican returned to serve the University in 1993 as President Emeritus and Special Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer of the UCF Foundation. Millican died on December 1, 2010, at his home in Central Florida.[2]

Sri Daya Mata —Mother of Compassion—[1] who was born Faye Wright, was the president and sanghamata (mother of the society) of Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF)[2] of Los Angeles, California, and the Yogoda Satsanga (YSS) Society of India.[3][4]
(January 31, 1914 – November 30, 2010)
Faye Wright was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, to a prominent family of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon Church).[5] Her ancestors were among the original Mormon pioneers[5][6] to the Salt Lake Valley. Her grandfather, Abraham Reister Wright, was an architect of the LDS Church’s Salt Lake Tabernacle.[7][8] She has been listed as a “Famous Utahn” by the Utah Office of Tourism.[9]

Daya Mata’s brother Richard Wright served as Yogananda’s personal secretary for many years,[11] appearing in his Autobiography of a Yogi. Her mother was also an SRF member. Daya Mata (Faye Wright) and Ananda Mata (Virginia Wright, Daya Mata’s sister) served on the SRF Board of Directors.[12]
Daya Mata authored three volumes: Only Love’: Living the Spiritual Life in a Changing World,[13] Finding the Joy Within You: Personal Counsel for God Centered Living,[14] and Enter the Quiet Heart: Creating a Loving Relationship with God.[15]
At the time of her 2010 death, Sri Daya Mata had been president of Self-Realization Fellowship since 1955. She had been living with her sister in a Sierra Madre house purchased in 1966 and commuting to SRF headquarters in Mount Washington. She was one of the first women to lead a worldwide religious organization and monastic order.[16]
She died on the evening of November 30, 2010, in Los Angeles.
