1. Introduction

Verification of the Forecast is understood here as establishing the presence of synchronism between the predicted trends of events and the actual ones.

Data Acquisition Approach

Since the troubles pertaining to the Forecast occur daily in the world, preferably those events which present in a definite sense an extreme or systematic nature were included in the Summary of events (hereinafter referred to as Summary). It must be noted, however, that this Summary might not be considered as complete, since collecting the respective data was hampered by the following obstacles:

Firstly, the international press presenting the worldwide data is practically absent in the region in which the author lives, except for the July-October file of the International Herald Tribune which miraculously emerged at the City's library, and Radio Liberty and VOA Russian services.

Secondly, systematic access to WWW is drastically restricted to the author due to the known circumstances of protractedly unpaid salary and economic depression.

Thirdly, until the HB's ephemeris, exact to within seconds of arc has been obtained, the available divergent versions permitted qualitative forecasting only. This is the main cause the author had abstained from specifying the Sun/HB conjunction focal meridians for time points T2-T8 in the earlier Forecast. Just obtaining the proper ephemeris has permitted the preparation of the grounded quantitative forecast, viz. to correctly specify the hours and minutes for the T2,T3 time points, and subsequently, their focal meridians (See Table, below). Nevertheless, in compliance with the conclusions it is hardly to be taken that we are late with these corrections.

Establishing of Synchronism

Though the events of the current year might present a subject to more profound examination (including statistical analysis), we are always required to stop somewhere, as nobody could envelope immensity. Thank God, the analysis of the collected data definitely shows, at least in the opinion of the author, a relatively high degree of synchronism for the Forecast to be considered verified. In order to avoid excessive enumerating of facts, the Summary is not discussed below in a per-event way. Instead, the conclusions relevant to the peculiarities of this synchronism are made which could be easily tested by searching the Summary through, since it presents the distribution of the events in compliance with the forecasted factors of influence and focal time points. The diagram, as well, presents distribution of focal meridians.

The events, which set up the records in respective spheres and/or are synchronously developing in compliance with the forecasted time and space trends, make this testing a captivating business.

Generalizations

The established synchronism not only supports the suggested comet influence and forecasting approach, but the resulting statements also give grounds for (or even requiring) further study, because even the presented data, as we may see, lead to far-reaching conclusions pertaining not only to understanding the factors of influence of both this comet itself and the comets in general, but, probably, to mundane astrology on the whole, due to the Solar activity factor. At least, in those fields where, as in meteorology, the cause of variations in dynamics of the phenomena is observed.
