The Rape Aggression Defense Basic Personal Defense System is a national program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques taught for women only. All courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors. The goal of R.A.D. is to provide realistic self-defense options to women, regardless of their level of physical conditioning. Students at all levels of ability, age, experience, and strength will be provided with techniques and information that can be effectively used from the first day of class. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program, nor does it require students to be athletes in training to succeed. The R.A.D. system will provide students with the knowledge to make an educated decision about personal defense. We provide information on physical and non-physical options, as well as insight into the attacker mindset. Every student receives a manual for reference and practice. Once a student has completed a R.A.D. program, their signed manual becomes a ticket for free lifetime return and practice with any R.A.D. instructor in the US and Canada. The widespread acceptance of the R.A.D. system is due to the ease, simplicity, and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, legal defensibility, and unique teaching methodology. R.A.D. is the only self-defense program endorsed by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) Q Aug 30 Nov 15 9:00 10:00 am Tue $15 Marihya Houck Q Aug 30 Nov 15 6:00 7:00 pm Tue $15 Marihya Houck Q Nov 5 9:00 am 4:30 pm Nov 6 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm $15 Marihya Houck TAE KWON DO/MIXED MARTIAL ARTS Students will learn basic Self-Defense strategies from various Martial Arts, with an emphasis on practical application.

You may think the Celts were early occupants of the British Isles and you are partially right. Their obscure origins, however, lie in the Bronze Age, long before the 5th Century BC when their language was spoken from the Alps to the Baltic Sea and became one of the first languages to divide off from the basic Indo-European tongues. As a nation of warriors, they invaded Greece and sacked the great temple at Delphi only to gain more renown for their widespread trade routes and sophisticated art forms. The Celts vastly influenced the founding of Italian (thus Roman) culture, together with that of Germany, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. St. Paul wrote one of his letters to their church at Galatia. After being almost exterminated, they survive to this day most strongly in Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Learn about this segment of your ancestry over some 3500 years of recorded history that will almost undoubtedly entitle you to also claim the glorious and victorious heritage of THE CELTS Q Oct 11 Nov 22 7:00 9:00 pm Tue $55 Shirley Ayn Linder CONCEALED HANDGUN This is a licensed class.

The class will also make a field trip to a working tank battery. Manuals will be used along with video instruction. Classroom discussion and overheads will enhance the exchange of ideas and clarify the processes. This course assumes that the student has limited experience with the topics covered and that they have a basic understanding of fluid flow, temperature and pressure. Location: PPDC Building, 105 W. Illinois.

20 Midland College Continuing Education Course Schedule PETROLEUM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CENTER TECHNICAL - GEOLOGY & GEOPHYSICS Exploring for Missed Pay in Old Wells Using DST Data (PTRT 2005) Who Should Attend? This course is for geologists, engineers & technicians who encounter or utilize DST results and reports in their exploration & production decisions. In fact any professional who needs to make more sense of the numerous old DSTs, which are present in so many wells, often with confusing results. Particularly appropriate for those prospecting for bypassed pay using logs and geology, who may wish to verify their conclusions from the DST or for regional geologists using show maps of DST results. Location: PPDC Building, 105 W. Illinois. G Q August :00 am - 5:00 pm Mon-Wed $575 $600/OS Hugh W. Reid Introduction to Log Interpretation and Quality (PTRT 2010) This 3-day course is designed to provide participants with fundamental principles necessary to understand and interpret open-hole logs. The concepts will assist participants to recognize permeability, hydrocarbons and identify rock and fluid types. The session will also include illustrated techniques for recognizing log validity. Participants are encouraged to bring their own logs to complement existing reallife case studies. Location: PPDC Building, 105 W. Illinois. G Q Oct :00 am - 4:00 pm Wed-Fri $1,095 $2,020/OS Gary Batcheller Log Analysis of Shaly Sandstones (PTRT 1091) The presence of shale or clay in a sandstone reservoir has two effects on petrophysical logs: it lowers resistivity and it causes the porosity logs (sonic, neutron, and density) to generally record too high of a porosity. The lowering of formation resistivity results in the over estimation of the reservoir s water saturation so that a hydrocarbon zone appears water productive. The course will review the types of clay minerals and how they affect both the resistivity and porosity logs. Location: PPDC Building, 105 W. Illinois. G Q Dec 13 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Tue $375 $400/OS Dr. George Asquith Quick Guide to Carbonate Well Log Analysis with Flow Chart, Case Studies and Problems (PTRT 2010) The one-day course in carbonate log analysis is built around a Flow Chart for Carbonate Well Log Analysis. The flow chart is designed so the user can determine carbonate pore type or types, and if the carbonate is water-wet or oil-wet using comparisons of nuclear porosity/sonic porosity/resistivity porosity plus comparisons of Archie (a=1,m=n=2) and Ratio Water Saturations. Next, on the flow chart the moveable hydrocarbon index (Sw/Sxo) and bulk volume water (BVW) values are used to determine if the carbonate reservoir is hydrocarbon or water productive. The final steps on the flow chart are the additional techniques that are used in the final analysis of carbonate reservoirs. Location: PPDC Building, 105 W. Illinois. G Q Dec 14 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Wed $375 $400/OS Dr. George Asquith TECHNICAL - ENGINEERING Well Control School (PTRT 2010) This course is approved by IADC (International Association of Drilling Contractors). It is designed to present the latest technology, equipment, and procedures utilized in maintaining control of a well during drilling and workover operations and to offer cost effectiveness and efficiency to the industry. Designed for drilling and workover personnel, especially drillers, toolpushers, operator representatives, engineers, or anyone involved in operating and servicing wells. Registrants have the option of surface only or surface and sub-sea stack designation. WellCAP certificates are awarded upon successful completion of this course. Registration limited to 18.
