Hi, bloggers and late followers,
It's time to market your WordPress site
As we create new content, it can be a strain on our brains. The reason is we intend to discover the wheel.
When you think you have to write something new whenever you hit the publish button and don't have the time to research it and get it yourself, you become tired of your own doing.
Blogging becomes a challenge when you try to make a living with it. Here are some tips that helped me with monetizing my blog.
1 ). Showing your offers directly on your blog post.
The way to commercialize is to show and display what you offer to the customer or reader instantly.
One of the strongest points is that there is no delay in your online presence. Also, the content on your blog looks more in sync with your story.
2). Link your content from YouTube and market it to who it matters.
The top search engine is Google, the second place is Microsoft Bing, and the third place is Yahoo. Without a doubt, Google has more fun social services to offer to its customers than others.
With the arrival of YouTube and Google Drive, it is pretty clear to offer your content commercially. You can do this by simply inserting the relevant link into your blog.
3). Mark content for Google "image" search and PageRank.
As you know, you can search for content based on the images with Google. The way you mark content for Google images is to add your logo, and brand, and write down a description for it.
Your description will be converted to a mark on the image result page, this can gain in PageRank.
Anytime and whenever I design something and upload it to my blog, I add my logo, brand, or slogan.

4). Time to monetize your blog.
Be trustworthy with your blog job and work forward. Divide your work into what you can do yourself and what you have to outsource to a professional.
In that way, you don't have to overload yourself if your project demands a designer or animator to go look at what they're offering. Maybe you get it done with a partnership or a low-budget offer.
5). Make it affordable and low-budget.
I offer an affordable price rate for any low-budget project. So you don't go into debt, but you have a professional and complete piece of content to show.
If someone does not trust you in the completion of the project, then the client is not worth your time.
Making a living with blogging is not that easy. Many topics are written, when it comes down to marketing and money. Some marketers forget the management part of content creation.
Many bloggers are stuck, bored with blogging, and bounce their blogs. The reason is simple, they think every time I must rediscover the wheel of marketing (NOT).
To market your WordPress site right you start at the basis.
Keep it simple and start with the basic idea of general business. Be patient with it, results do not happen overnight.
If you don't know where to start, try adding my 5 tips.

The town has over 80,000 residents, many of whom drive 45 minutes to Toronto via the DVP/Hwy 404 for work or commute to other surrounding communities.
Newmarket has been identified as one of the top communities to live in Canada, largely because of its unique combination of big city amenities and the charm of a small town.

This recipe makes toothsome, very short, very consistent shortbread. 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup self-rising flour 1 cup cornstarch 1 cup confectioners' sugar 1 1/4 cups butter, softened
Combine flours, cornstarch, confectioners' sugar in large bowl and mix well.
Knead in butter. (Betty does this in a large bowl, but it can also be done on a board.)
Continue until the mixture forms a very smooth ball. (Betty works with it for some minutes and then, using plenty of muscle and her whole hand, she presses the dough together and pushes and turns it against the bowl, repeating this motion 100 times before being sure it is ready. She insists that a shortcut here is a mistake.)
Spread the dough edge to edge in a 9-by-9-by-2-inch pan. Smooth the top, using the paper in which the butter came. (This will produce shortbread about one-inch thick. If you prefer it thinner, use a larger pan.) Prick the shortbread with a fork in straight lines. (Penetrate the surface about 1/8-inch deep.)
Bake at 375 degrees F. for 20 to 30 minutes or until just slightly golden (a pale blonde color).
Remove from oven. Sprinkle with caster sugar (or substitute granulated sugar), and cut into 24 "fingers" in the pan. Leave to cool completely.
Lift fingers out of pan, and place on a cookie sheet. The fingers should not touch each other. Bake at 325 degrees F. for five minutes, then turn oven off. (The purpose of this extra baking is to get rid of the "raw bit" in the center of the fingers.)
Let them sit in turned-off oven for 2 to 3 hours.

Report: Arsenal's Nelson to move on loan to Hoffenheim
Yet another English youngster is looking abroad for playing time.
German newspaper BILD reported on Wednesday that 1899 Hoffenheim is closing in on a loan deal with Arsenal's Reiss Nelson. The 18-year-old attacker made three Premier League appearances last season but has found himself on the outside of the first team squad this year, leading for him to look elsewhere for first team minutes.
[ MORE: All of PST's MLS coverage ]
Nelson follows fellow England youth international Jadon Sancho, who moved to Borussia Dortmund in 2017 and has played Bundesliga matches, something he was unlikely to get in the Premier League with Manchester City. Keanan Bennetts left Tottenham this summer for Borussia Monchengladbach, Ronaldo Viera Nan left Leeds for Sampdoria, and Kaylen Hinds, a former teammate of Nelson with Arsenal, is in his second year with Wolfsburg. Man City also loaned 21-year-old Patrick Roberts to Girona, in La Liga.
It's a positive sign for England's youth department to see players move abroad and challenge themselves when playing time doesn't appear at home, and could certainly bode well for the future.

Raceway Venray 2019: Jentsen Adriaenssens clinched V8 Oval Series title
Jentsen Adriaenssens grabbed the first ever Dutch Championship title of the V8 Oval Series at Raceway Venray – The Belgian fended off all attacks by Jeroen van Eerd
The first ever Dutch Championship of the V8 Oval Series at Raceway Venray went to Jentsen Adriaenssens in his #61 ASCAR Ford Mustang. The Belgian made no mistakes in the last three races of the 2019 and cruised to victory by finishing tenth, third and fourth. Adriaenssens fended off all attacks by Jeroen van Eerd, who was the best driver in an offset car in 2019.
It was only Adriaenssens' second year in the V8 Oval Series, but the 22-year-old race driver adapted fast to oval racing. He was incredibly fast in his second season on the wheel of his ASCAR Ford Mustang, which was formerly driven by 2016 SuperCup champion Patrick van Eck. Adriaenssens also won the track championship ahead of van Eerd.
"I feel great as we started racing here last year and it was my first time in cars and on an oval," tells the new champion 'Leadlap.net'. "This year we managed to fight for the title and it's great that we made such big steps forward this year. It's just great."
"We also got a little bit lucky with the car we rented here as it's very fast. We actually didn't change much. This year we had a broken axle and we installed a less wider one. The car improved and here we are. I will probably defend my title next year in the same car."
22 different drivers were classified in the 2019 championship with nine different countries represented. During the final races, the Briton Colin White grabbed two wins in his Chevrolet Camaro. The final race of the season was won by Ralph Verberkt after an intense battle with White for several laps. The Briton scored the win in the daily classification. The 2020 season kicks off on April 14.

When Molly was born a little over three years ago, we were shocked to learn that she was diagnosed with Down syndrome. There were no warning signs and no prior family history – it was a complete surprise to all of us.
While we were excited about Molly's arrival, we were also very unsure of what the future would hold for her future and our family's future. Besides the great support system with family and friends, I found myself finding comfort and support in books.
Last week, as I was cleaning out my bookshelf I found all of the books that gave me hope and strength as we started our journey into the world of Down syndrome. Just seeing those books took me back to a dark place, but I was reminded of how far I've grown as a person and how much we've learned as a family.
A few days ago, I learned about a new mom just starting down a similar path as mine with her newborn daughter. I instantly knew where those books of hope belonged – so I mailed them to her. My wish is that those books provide strength and hope to her just as they did to me.
Here's a look at the books –
Gifts: Mothers Reflect on How Children with Down Syndrome Enrich Their Lives – I read this book cover to cover… and cried the entire time. It's real life stories written by moms about their child and journey in the world of Down syndrome. It's a book that made me realize I was not alone.
Gifts 2: How People with Down Syndrome Enrich the World – This book also needs a 'tissue alert' as family members and everyday people share stories about how people with Down syndrome have brightened their worlds. These short essays are heartwarming and offer stories of acceptance and live.
Babies with Down Syndrome: A New Parents' Guide – I like to think of this book as a "What to Expect When Your Expecting" book for mothers of children with Down syndrome. Reading this book was at times a tough read about the road that was ahead for Molly, but I learned an incredible amount of information from it. As someone with no knowledge of Down syndrome, this book really explained the delays and overall areas of concern.
Gross Motors Skills in Children with Down Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals (Topics in Down Syndrome) – Some may see this book as too technical and scientific because it's written from a professional point of view, I found it helpful in learning ways to help Molly grow and exercise too.
Road Map to Holland: How I Found My Way Through My Son's First Two Years With Down Syndrome – Written by a special needs mom, this story is widely known through the special needs community. And like the others, it's a 'tissue alert' book that taught me acceptance and that the dark/sad feelings I had were normal.
Have you read any of these books?

Instagram influencer Cora Smith 'paints rosy picture' of Dominican Republic, despite being sexually assaulted and threatened
An Instagram influencer has opened up about her harrowing ordeal during a trip to the Dominican Republic with her husband after she was nearly abducted and sexually assaulted in the country.
Cora Smith is famous on Instagram for her travels around the world with her husband Jay. However, she says she felt compelled to paint a rosy picture of their three-month vacation to the DR in 2018 to her approximately 26,000 followers as if it was an "obligation", according to a New York Post report.
"You feel this obligation to be honest, but a fear of rejection if you are," Smith said in an interview with Business Insider. "I didn't tell my story, and I think it's out of fear."
The couple, hailing from Orlando, Florida, accommodated themselves in various Airbnbs in Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, and Costambar. Smith recounted their second day in Santo Domingo where she was approached by a man in a car while out jogging in the street. Jay was napping at the time.
According to her, the man got out of his vehicle and opened the passenger door, inviting her in. However, Smith quickly turned the opposite direction and bolted from the scene. Then, in Punta Cana, Smith was riding her bike while her husband was ahead of her when three men rode up to her on a motorbike and groped her.
"They were violating me in every way you can except being raped," she said. "I kept trying to kick them away but I had no control of what was happening. They pushed my bike to try to get me to fall over. I'm yelling for my husband but he's ahead of me and he couldn't hear me."
After the harrowing ordeal, Smith didn't feel safe leaving her husband's side in the Dominican Republic. Nonetheless, the couple continued to stay in the country as they couldn't afford to change their elaborate travel agenda. "We really kind of isolated ourselves to protect ourselves from the dangers of where we were," Smith said.
What's more? Smith said she couldn't even approach the police, as they previously threatened to throw her husband behind bars if he didn't give up his wallet. "We were very worried about bashing anyone or anything. In all honesty, influencers are too scared to tell the truth and feel they need to show the beautiful side," Smith said. "Most people only want to hear the positive things."
The couple's Instagram photos from their DR trip, however, tell quite a different story — filled with palm tree-lined beaches, gorgeous sunsets, and drinks with a group of friends. According to Smith, they didn't make money off the vacation as they didn't have a huge following at the time.
The avid traveler first shared her nightmarish experience in a blog post last year. She wanted to make her ordeal more publicly known following the recent news of a series of deaths in the DR. Apart from the deaths, Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz was sitting at a bar in Santo Domingo when he was shot out of the blue. Also, a mother from Delaware was brutally attacked at a resort in the country.
"It's not a safe country, and it's not just the five-star resorts," Smith said. "I feel like I can't sit here and listen to the prime minister say, 'Our country is safe' because it's not safe."

Reflecting on my experience in ministry, especially as a teacher and preacher, I have changed a lot over the years. I'd like to think I can call it "growth." As a means of encouragement, I wanted to share some of what my path has been like. You might be able to locate yourself somewhere along a similar path.
A Reluctant Volunteer
One of my favorite transitions in Scripture is Moses. When God invites him to be part of the greater story of what God is doing in history, he makes every excuse he can think of, most of which people still make all the time.
You want me to do that? But I'm nobody. I'm not that good of a speaker. I don't have any credibility. What if they don't know enough about you to even appreciate the message? Can't you just send someone else?
I have often heard it taught that Moses had a speech impediment. Moses claims to be "slow of speech and tongue." My personal theory is that Moses didn't really have any impediment. I think he was just making an excuse. Either way, have you ever considered that nearly the entire book of Deuteronomy is one big whopping sermon by Moses? Whatever his issue was, he grew, and he got past it. I believe that with God's help, we also can grow past any similar barriers we might try to set up for ourselves.
Appropriate Hesitancy
Some hesitancy about speaking on God's behalf is entirely appropriate. Our words have enormous power to shape people's lives and their perception of God. No matter how much we encourage people to study and think on their own, they are always going to give heavy consideration to what they've heard from "experts." If we are to stand before the people of God to serve as a mouthpiece of God, it is appropriate for us to take on this task with enormous humility, reverence, and sincerity.
I often felt timid as I began ministry. I used to be so nervous every time I preached that I couldn't eat for at least 2 hours before I was going to speak. I would tremble and shake and worry terribly about how it would go, then afterward I would agonize over every little time I fumbled a word or made some minuscule mistake.
With time, I've gotten past most of what I might call "stage fright" but I think it is important never to lose sight of the fact that these are God's people, God's church, God's word, and God's agenda. I'm just (attempting to be) a messenger. There is something healthy about always remembering that I am not trying to form a cult of personality around myself but to be like a compass that faithfully points people to God. God must increase and I must decrease. It is no small task to try and live into this goal.
Developing as a Messenger
My dad never liked the saying that "Practice makes perfect," because almost all of us have room for improvement in some way. Not to mention that what might be a perfect thing for one person might seem useless to another. There is no "perfect" sermon. Instead, Dad always said, "The more you practice, the better you get." This is definitely true.
Even though I have been preaching for a number of years now, there has been a progression over time of what is at the forefront of my mind as I prepare and speak. It may be helpful to think of these things as a sort of stacked bowls or Russian nesting dolls where one fits inside the other.
As you stack bowls, the bottom ones always contain the top ones, but it is the one at the bottom that you are primarily holding onto. Similarly, even though my driving thought
Speech 101
Preaching and teaching are, of course, forms of public speaking. I can distinctly remember during the first sermon I ever preached in my undergraduate preaching class, having to consciously think things like, "OK, now that I'm at point #2, I will hold up my hand and make this gesture…"
Early on in speaking and teaching, there is no harm in giving attention to the basics of good presentation skills. Those may even be the things you think about the most as you get going. I have benefited greatly over the years at the Lipscomb University Preaching Workshops–grueling as they have been–to have the opportunity to preach and to both receive and offer gentle critiques from and for peers. Often I noticed that our speakers were fairly strong on content, but it had been so long since we had really thought about our techniques that many of us had simple distracting tendencies or mannerisms of which we were unaware or had become blind.
Even still, I regularly watch my sermon videos. It is amazing how when someone tries to explain something to you it can be hard to grasp, but when you watch yourself, you can almost immediately say, "Oh, I should have paused longer here," or "I keep using that word too much," or "Oh, that's what they meant when they told me about that thing I'm doing."
Quality Content
When I got my first preaching job at a small country church in Arkansas, I was 23 years old. I said to myself, "I don't have any wisdom, life experience, or credibility, but I can at least make sure I provide them with solid Scriptural content."
I was always meticulous in my research. Whether I was preaching through a book or some topic of interest, I made sure that every time I tried to bring them the best research that I could. I know my sermons were often lacking in other aspects, but the church was very kind to
It is so important to cultivate good habits of
- I got so wrapped up in the researching that I waited far too late to begin the composition, eating into Saturday evenings, and not allowing me sufficient time to refine and polish my lesson.
- I had a tendency to write sermons that sounded more like research papers for my professors than like messages from God to God's people. Truthfully, being so close to Searcy, Arkansas, I always had in my head that a professor might show up to visit, and I needed to be sure he would think I had been academically responsible. Again, the church was so kind and patient with me as I continued to grow.
Artistic Technique
Once you get comfortable enough speaking in front of people and get into a pattern of study for your sermons and lessons, you begin to feel freer to think about the packaging of what you present.
I spent a long time infatuated by authors like Fred Craddock, Tom Long, and Eugene Lowry about the art of sermon-making. During this
At the same time, I also had the experience of observing my listeners. Some of the lessons I thought were brilliantly composed turned out to be snooze fests. Others that I gave on weeks where my time was limited, that were thrown together with insufficient thought or polish, I would have people responding to with tears. This helped me begin to understand that all ministry is fundamentally God's work, dependent much more on how God uses our efforts than on the perfection of our efforts themselves.
Felt Needs
While I don't think I could say I have ever been a dedicated "felt needs" kind of preacher or teacher, I have noticed readily that the more I work at speaking into people's lives, the more they respond. They like a nice presentation and a refined technique, but if you can help them as a spouse, parent, or employee, they will wait with anticipation for every word you have to say.
I have deliberately worked at trying to allow more space in my sermons for emphasis on what people ought to do with what they're hearing. Even though I received wonderful homiletical training in approaches like Craddock's Inductive Method that tries to trust people to reach their own conclusions, I discovered that Craddock may assume too much about how anxious people are to do this on their own, as well as how well they are able. There is value in clear proclamation. Interpretation and self-application are abilities that can be refined and developed but may also need some coaching.
A downfall of being too anxious to speak to people's felt needs is that preaching loses its Gospel edge and becomes more of a life coaching session. There may be good advice, but there isn't enough to overcome the weight of the world without the power of a Savior whose grace makes up for what we lack and whose Spirit enables us to be more than we could ever be on our own, even with the very best types of behavior modification.
Driven By God's Mission
I think the single largest shift in my preaching occurred when I had a strong spiritual experience, confirming to me that I am where I am supposed to be and that I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. In
Early in my ministry, I interviewed Dave Matthews who was preaching at the Downtown Church of Christ in Searcy, Arkansas about longevity in ministry, seeking his advice along with that of several other ministers. He said over and over again that the bedrock of his ministry is that it is rooted in prayer. He told me about several amazing ministry moments in which he had been able to participate that all began with prayer. Early in my ministry, I failed to see the significance of what he was trying to tell me, but I've gradually learned he was absolutely right.
As I developed the practice of setting aside a full week each year for prayer and seeking God's will for my teaching and my work, as well as more regular times of silence and prayer before I research or compose lessons, I have had similar experiences in seeing God's will and actions more clearly because I was carving out more time to pray about these things. God can use our abilities and skills, and when we develop ourselves in the skills of our vocation, God is honored by these efforts. But in the end, all ministry is fundamentally God's ministry.
I try to remind myself that even if every person of faith in the world chose to keep silent, Jesus said–hilariously, I think–that we could be replaced by rocks who would cry out in our place if need be. I am replaceable, but God would prefer to utilize me while I'm here. God's effectiveness doesn't depend on my knowledge. It doesn't hinge on my skill sets. It doesn't hinge on my wisdom of what word people need to hear. God can use these things, but God doesn't depend on them.
But when I open myself up to the work of God through my life and in my teaching in prayerful, deliberate ways, God shows up and works through my efforts, even as feeble as they sometimes are. The more I have put my trust in God's competency to accomplish his purposes, rather than on my own, the more I've seen God establish the things that I've tried to offer to him.
The driving thought in my mind as I prepare to speak has increasingly become that these are God's
Working Things Together for Good
What I have described is my own path. I expect every preacher and teacher's path is unique, but perhaps you can find some points of connection in your own journey.
It will never stop being important for me to give thought to how it is I present what I have to say. It will always matter that what I present derives from the Scriptures in healthy and responsible ways, engaging both my intellect and my creativity. I will always need to stay close to the people whom I serve so I can better discern what word from the Lord they might need to be hearing. Sometimes each of these things might individually be worthy of special attention and better balance in my life.
But what holds all these things together is the love of God which moves through us, and the help God provides to us in carrying out God's purposes. In seeking God's will and inviting God to work through us in prayer, we do what I believe may be the most important work of ministry. The more we grasp and practice this, the more useful we become.

Lunar Eclipse of the Wolf Moon, January 20, 2019. The temperature was -3 degrees so I would go inside to warm up between taking photos. The night was absolutely glorious, as there had been an ice storm the day before and everything was coated with a sheet of glistening ice. This is a time-lapse composite taken from the beginning through the totality of the eclipse.

The discovery of another unapproved variety of GM wheat in Montana this summer has increased pressure on the government to change the way it regulates the technology
EXCERPT: Freese, whose organization is calling for a moratorium on all biotech trials "until the USDA can get its act together", said it is not clear that contamination can be prevented. He said the department should at least impose much stricter regulation, such as larger buffer zones between the test crop and non-GMO varieties, more field trial inspections, and increased fines to penalize companies that violate a testing protocol or fail to do an adequate job cleaning up after conducting a field trial.
"The contamination episodes show how weak and full of holes the regulatory system is and, frankly, farmers deserve much better from USDA," he said.
GMO wheat issue intensifies
Christopher Doering
Great Falls Tribune, 26 Oct 2014
The discovery of another unapproved variety of genetically modified wheat in Montana this summer has increased pressure on the government agency in charge of overseeing biotech crops to change the way it regulates a technology used on millions of acres across the United States.
In September, the Agriculture Department's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said it found the Monsanto wheat two months earlier on a research field at Montana State University, more than a decade after the crop was legally tested there between 2000 and 2003. The finding came as the USDA concluded a nearly yearlong probe into a similar wheat discovery in Oregon found in May 2013. In that case, the government was unable to determine how the modified seeds developed by Monsanto appeared eight years after testing ended for the biotech variety. Neither wheat strain has been approved for sale or consumption.
The popular crops are staunchly defended by farmers who depend on genetically altered seeds to provide them with higher yields, better quality products and lower consumption of chemical sprays to rebuff attacks from weeds or insects; the result is a boon to their bottom line. The United States is by far the world's largest grower of biotech crops, planting 173 million acres in 2013 — almost 40 percent of all biotech acreage globally.
But food and environmental groups are skeptical about the safety of these crops in everyday foods and the environment in which they grow. The discovery of unapproved wheat has renewed calls for APHIS to adapt a slower, more stringent approval process — a change that could cause havoc for agricultural producers eager to get their hands on the newest varieties.
"I'd like to say it was surprising that these events happened, but it's not really. It's become the norm, rather than the exception," said Bill Freese, a frequent critic of biotech crops who is a science policy analyst at the Center for Food Safety. "They're not able to prevent contamination from these experimental (genetically engineered) crops to commercial crops, and that's just caused headaches, huge headaches, very serious financial losses for American agriculture. What's it going to take to have proper oversight?"
Each year, hundreds of tests are conducted around the United States, mostly on corn, soybeans and alfalfa by seed giants including Monsanto, Syngenta and DuPont Pioneer. In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, APHIS authorized planting of more than 500 crops that could be tested on as many as 11,300 sites across the nation.
APHIS said of the 500 crops, there were 11 incidents of noncompliance with field test regulations reported, with five of those being minor violations, largely tied to incorrectly filled-out paperwork. None were considered major incidents such as unauthorized plantings without a permit. APHIS would not publicly disclose the location of the violations.
Genetically modified seeds were first introduced commercially in the United States in 1996 with the launch of Monsanto's Roundup Ready soybeans — a plant that tolerates the company's Roundup herbicide while nearby weeds are killed. Since then, biotech has blossomed into a major force in agriculture to include corn, papaya, sugar beets, cotton, and squash.
Freese, whose organization is calling for a moratorium on all biotech trials "until the USDA can get its act together", said it is not clear that contamination can be prevented. He said the department should at least impose much stricter regulation, such as larger buffer zones between the test crop and non-GMO varieties, more field trial inspections, and increased fines to penalize companies that violate a testing protocol or fail to do an adequate job cleaning up after conducting a field trial.
"The contamination episodes show how weak and full of holes the regulatory system is and, frankly, farmers deserve much better from USDA," he said.
John Youngberg, executive vice president with the Montana Farm Bureau, said discoveries such as the recent wheat varieties can provide fodder for critics and make it more difficult for farmers and biotech crop supporters.
"We're watching this sort of thing," Youngberg said. "It's easy to say it's bad for you. It always casts a cloud over" the benefits of the technology.
Youngberg said biotech proponents initially spent too much time touting the benefits of the crops for farmers, rather than sharing with consumers how they benefit from the seeds through cheaper foods and a more robust supply.
"We need to try to do a better job of getting that message out," he said.
Michael Firko, deputy administrator of APHIS' Biotechnology Regulatory Services, said the agency believes the current process used to regulate field trials "is more than sufficient" and improvements have made a moratorium unnecessary.
Here's how the trial process works: Almost three-quarters of trials are approved by APHIS under an expedited system covering plants deemed to be low risk and where the agency has prior knowledge; the rest are covered as part of a permit process for unfamiliar or novel genes that need to be more closely regulated.
APHIS inspects all trials being conducted under the permit process at least once a year, and as many as seven times for plants designed to produce a pharmaceutical drug or an industrial protein. The trials approved under the expedited system are randomly selected by a computer to be reviewed, meaning about 16 percent to 17 percent of them are inspected annually.
In recent years, APHIS cited several steps it has taken to tighten its oversight of field trials, including streamlining compliance and enforcement, improving the process it uses to determine which field trials to inspect, increasing the number of inspections conducted annually and educating those conducting the trials about how to comply with the regulations.
"We have in place science-based requirements for field trials that ensure there is not an introduction of these crops while they are being field-tested," Firko said. When asked if the recent wheat discoveries could slow the growth of genetically modified crops, Firko said APHIS will continue to regulate "and give rigorous review" to new biotech varieties the agency is asked to review for approval.
Greg Jaffe, director of the Project on Biotechnology for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said the USDA needs to be more transparent about how many inspections it conducts, how they target those inspections and what they find. He also said that while the department sets buffer zones to be put in place between biotech field trials and traditional varieties, it fails to do enough testing to make sure the boundaries are large enough to be successful.
"I would hope that USDA would use this as an opportunity to do some research about the efficacy of their field trail conditions that they put in place," he said.
Still, Jaffe said, because neither of the wheat findings had an impact on the environment or food safety, there is little impetus for the government to move expeditiously to make changes to its oversight. "Overall, there are hundreds and hundreds of field trials done every year, and we're talking about some fairly isolated incidences that luckily did not have any trade, food safety, or environmental impacts," he said. "These incidences, while troubling, don't really have any impact so USDA will move much more meticulously."
The Center for Food Safety and other groups that have renewed calls for tougher government oversight following the rouge wheat discoveries point to a series of other high-profile contamination cases the past 15 years as evidence of both the inability of the government to regulate agricultural biotechnology and the hit to the pocketbook these findings can have on Corn Belt farmers who depend on the popular crops for income.
After the discovery of Oregon wheat, Japan, South Korea and other countries temporarily stopped buying U.S. wheat. And China, a major buyer of U.S. corn, has rejected imports since November after it said officials found evidence of a genetically modified corn seed developed by Syngenta that the nation has not approved. Trade groups estimate the rejected shipments have cost U.S. farmers more than $1 billion through lower corn prices, leading producers in nearly a dozen states and agribusiness companies such as Cargill to sue Syngenta.
In 2000, the U.S. corn market was battered after a variety of biotech corn known as Starlink, approved for animal feed but not human consumption, turned up in some grocery store products. Among the most publicized was Kraft Foods, which announced a nationwide recall of taco shells, the first of a food made from genetically modified ingredients.
Lola Raska, executive vice president of the Montana Grain Growers Association, said the recent wheat finding has not damaged trade relations and farmers are optimistic that biotech wheat will one day be approved to help them remain competitive.
"Our growers know they need access to the most advanced technology available, including biotech seed varieties, in order to continue producing the high quality wheat Montana is known for worldwide," Raska said. "Crops that already use biotechnology, like corn and soybeans, are becoming more adaptable and more profitable to grow in areas that have traditionally grown crops like wheat and barley."

Tips and Tricks on How to Find a Good Mechanic You Can Trust
If you have automobile problems, don't get taken for a ride with these tips and tricks on how to find a good mechanic you can trust.
Does your car have a lot of mechanical issues?
Car owners never expect to have to put so much into maintaining their vehicles, but wear and tear is a real thing and you want someone you can trust making the repairs. Today, we're going to give you some tips on how to find a good mechanic.
Most mechanics are honest, trustworthy, and capable, but there are some that'll try to take you for a ride. Don't let your lack of car knowledge be the thing that costs you extra money on repairs, let us help you learn what to look for in a mechanic and what to avoid at all costs.
Maintenance Versus Repair
Before you start searching for a good mechanic, you need to do a bit of learning on your own. The biggest thing to consider is the difference between routine maintenance and repairs. This should help you determine what you're looking for.
Car maintenance is what you need to do regularly to ensure that your car functions as smoothly as possible. Repairs are needed when there's a specific problem preventing the car from running properly.
Finding a mechanic you can trust will depend on what you need them to do. Most shops will be able to perform basic maintenance on any vehicle, but not every shop specializes in every type of repair. Finding a shop that can handle a wide range of mechanical problems helps build trust between the mechanic and driver.
Don't Wait Until You're Desperate
One of the biggest mistakes that drivers make is neglecting routine maintenance and waiting until they've got huge problems before they find a mechanic. Bringing your car in when you need to spend hundreds of extra dollars for repairs isn't going to get you off on the right foot with your mechanic.
You have to understand the mechanic's position here. They can't, in good faith, send your car back on the road without doing the work to make it run safely. When you don't take care of your car, you have to understand that it's going to cost money to repair, regardless of who the mechanic is.
It's best to take it in somewhere when you're due for a checkup. Let's now discuss how to find quality mechanics.
Looking At Online Reviews
Mechanics tend to thrive or fall on their reputation, so a good place to start is by checking out reviews online. The shops that have a high rating from lots of customers, coupled with a list of positive reviews, are where you should start your search.
Most auto repair shops will proudly display testimonials on their website to show off the quality work that they do. Reading these can help you get a better idea of the type of people that'll be working on your vehicle.
Other Things You Can Look At
Aside from business reviews on Google, Yelp, and other listings sites, you can also look at the Better Business Bureau or the AAA's Approved Auto Repair network. If an auto shop is highly rated and registered on these outlets, then it's probably a safe bet that they're going to do an honest and good job on your car.
An ASE certification means that your mechanic has passed a test and has two years of experience on the job. They have to renew this every five years, so having this certification means that your mechanic is competent.
Don't Go for Cheap Rates
It's easy to get tempted by cheap prices advertised by auto mechanic chains, but price shouldn't be a key factor in your decision. When it comes to car repairs, you first need to take the quality of service into account, then the trustworthiness of the mechanics.
The cost comes into play, but only after you've satisfied the first two requirements. A cheap mechanic isn't necessarily bad, but low prices are more likely a tactic to draw customers in, only to be upsold and have shoddy repairs done.
Good mechanics will have fair rates and shoot straight about the work that your car needs. They should be able to lay out why certain repairs need to be made, how soon they need to be made, what'll happen if they aren't made, and help you decide what to do.
Ask Questions and Build Trust
When you're conducting your mechanic search, have a list of candidates and talk to them before agreeing to anything. Don't be afraid to ask questions about the repairs that they want to make. Bad mechanics will try to take advantage of your lack of car knowledge, but asking questions will show that you aren't going to be a pushover.
If you're unhappy with or untrusting of answers that a certain mechanic gives about your car repairs, you can rule them out and move on to the next one.
Warranties are another important part of auto repairs.
Make sure to ask about the warranty on the repairs before they happen. These things can vary depending on the status of your vehicle and the work being done, but a great warranty policy can help establish trust between you because it shows self-confidence in their abilities.
Testing Them Out
Last, but not least, trying out different mechanics for different small issues can help you make the right decision. If you're satisfied with the work but aren't too happy with the price, take it to another mechanic next time. Maybe that mechanic will have better rates, but the work isn't quite as good.
Remember what we said earlier. Always go with the quality of work over the up-front cost because the cost of repairs won't mean anything if you have to go back in for more repairs in a few months.
The Many Benefits of Learning How to Find a Good Mechanic
The benefits of learning how to find a good mechanic are huge. Having someone you can trust with all of your maintenance and repairs will put your mind at ease on and off the road. At A Plus Transmission, we've been serving Brighton, MI and the surrounding area for over 40 years.
All of our mechanics have ASE certification and experience with repairing and maintaining all makes and models. If you need an auto mechanic you can trust, then look no further than A Plus.

An Australian company operating an aquaculture farm in Malaysia is leading the first initial public bid to accept cryptoactives in Australia.
Australia's first crypto-compatible IPO will accept TetherNOTICS
The cryptoma-friendly capital raising platform of Australia, Stax, announced that its client West Coast Aquaculture Group (WCA) will be conducting the first initial public offer of the country which accepts virtual currency as payment.
For researcher, DeFi would need more fixed rate loan protocols
Investors who participate in the WCA offer will be able to buy shares of the company using Tether (USDT) or Australian dollars. USDT was chosen over Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) because of its price stability.
Speaking to Cointelegraph, Stax CEO Bitcoin System Kenny Lee stressed that stablecoins offer the benefits of cryptomoeda without the volatility of other digital assets:
"The acceptance of USDT in an IPO is a transformational move in Australia and a significant advance towards the adoption of cryptomoeda in general. This paves the way for the future of capital markets. "
Lee noted that Stax is considering supporting additional stablecoins in the future.
The WCA operates a large marine farm in Langkawi, Malaysia, where it mainly produces fresh grouper for wholesale and retail customers in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. The capital raised will be used for fund expansions, including the purchase of a new hatchery and nursery.
The WCA is offering between 10 million and 14 million shares at US$0.50 each, representing between 8.78% and 11.87% of the total available. The minimum target is $5 million.
Digital Yuan will fight 'dollarization,' says former PBC president
Following the flotation, the WCA plans to float its shares on the Sydney Stock Exchange, with the shares expected to start trading close to November 19
SSX CEO Michael Go applauded Stax for facilitating a capital increase to support USDT, saying:
"This is the first historic development in the Australian market that will dictate the future of capital raising, especially for growth companies".

Mark Pauline is currently replacing the steel baseball bat wielded by the Motoman at the Explosion of Ungovernable Rage show in Santa Rosa three years ago with a motorized flamethrower.
According to Mark, "This SRL project is a lightweight high powered flamethrower attachment for the SRL Armored Motoman UP50 6 axis robot arm. The arm has a capacity of 50 kilograms. The flamethrower will weigh around 90 lbs and will bolt to the end effector bolt circle. The fan motor is a modified 550cc Kawasaki Jet ski motor with around 60 HP. It spins the forged aluminum fan at 8500 rpm, generating 15000 cfm of air. Diesel fuel will be injected into the air stream using a Parker Macrospray fuel vaporizing nozzle at a rate of 9 gallons per minute. This will generate a flame about 25′ long. Due to the fine fuel vaporization, the flame will be clean burning and very hot. The arm will be programmed to move the Flamethrower in ways that will strike fear into the hearts of fire dancers everywhere!"
The Flamethrower Attachment can be seen here under construction, mounted to its rotating engine fixture.

University of Connecticut students are ordering books for classes online more than ever. As a result, mailrooms are backed up, lines of students waiting for textbooks are routine and Co-op profits have fallen.
This is a known problem. What isn't common knowledge is a possible solution.
One example UConn could follow is that of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which has instituted an online Amazon bookstore on campus. This means students can order textbooks online and have them waiting in an on-campus site the next day.
Amazon promised a nearly 30 percent student savings rate for books during the contract and logistical negotiations with UMass. The company guarenteed free, one-day shipping to a location on-campus and students off-campus. The estimated savings of $380 per student was attractive to James Sheehan, UMass Amherst's vice chancellor of administration and finance.
"We know students struggle with the high cost of textbooks and other course materials, and they have been moving to online purchasing," Sheehan said. "We are delighted to help them get the most competitive prices and first-rate service. By seamlessly linking our online campus information system to Amazon, we will make it convenient as well as economical for students to get the items they need for their classes, delivered in one day with no shipping charge to campus and nearby addresses."
This bookstore is the third of its kind nationwide, with other Amazon-run locations in Indiana at Purdue University and California at the University of California, Davis.
Amazon bid for the UMass bookstore contract against other online retailers. UMass Amherst gets a cut of Amazon's sales – a 2.5 percent commission – and in the first three years the company will pay the university a higher amount annually – $375,000, then $465,000, then $610,000.
Amazon vied heavily for the UMass contract due to the university's location nearby other Amazon distribution centers, low market competition and the institution's sizable student body.
Gabriella Fishkind, a 5th-semester behavioral marketing and communication double major, applauded UMass' efforts in obtaining Amazon's online-on-campus hybrid bookstore.
"I found the experience easily accessible and reasonably priced, ordering my books the first day of classes and receiving them in a specialized room with individualized lockers in Campus Center by the next morning," Fishkind said. "The process is beneficial to both students and professors, ensuring students are able to receive the necessary materials to keep up with classes from the get-go."
The bookstore, in its first year, is running relatively smoothly. Fishkind recounts what buying books was like before the Amazon-controlled bookstore, during her freshman and sophomore years. Her experience sounds all too familiar to that of UConn students of late.
"In past years, I've found myself waiting for more than two weeks for textbooks to arrive, delaying my ability to keep up with class material," Fishkind said. "The new arrangement with Amazon is efficient and effective, offering numerous choices for a variety of books such as paperback, hardcover, rentals, or even online text subscriptions. The variety of options, along with the free shipping also allows students to spend less money on textbooks than in past years when students have bought directly from a publisher or a local bookstore."
UMass spokesperson Ed Blaguszewski said student benefit was the driving force behind the move.
"We really recognize that textbooks and course materials are a major expense for students, and those have continued to go up over time," Blaguszewski said. "This is about convenience and saving money for students."
With four times as many packages in UConn's mailrooms this year compared to last year, it may seem like the university already has a lesser version of UMass's Amazon bookstore.

Editor's Note:
The Case Challenge series includes difficult-to-diagnose conditions, some of which are not frequently encountered by most clinicians but are nonetheless important to accurately recognize. Test your diagnostic and treatment skills using the following patient scenario and corresponding questions. If you have a case that you would like to suggest for a future Case Challenge, please contact us.
A 71-year-old man presents to the emergency department with severe pain in the epigastrium. The pain started 1 day ago, reportedly after he ate a large fatty meal for lunch. The patient reports two similar episodes in the remote past after eating fatty meals, which resolved with over-the-counter antacid therapy. However, the current pain has been resistant to multiple doses of over-the-counter antacids. Positional changes do not affect the pain.
The patient denies having pain that is radiating to his shoulder, down his arm, or to his jaw or back. Because the pain was unremitting, he presented to the emergency department. He denies fevers, chills, change in urine or stool color, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

The Sunstone Education Foundation started in 1974 as a magazine that published on Mormon "experience, scholarship, issues, and art." Then, in 1978, it branched out into symposia and regional conferences.
Today, more than 40 years later, the Sunstone Salt Lake Symposium draws together more than 2,500 attendees to talk about Mormon history, theology, politics, culture, and more. The attendees hail from all over the Restoration spectrum.
Because the Symposium hosts such a diversity of thought and belief, it can be a challenge for attendees to interact constructively with people who have opposing views. But this challenge is also an opportunity to expand our minds and empathize with each other. As Joseph Smith put it, "by proving contraries, truth is made manifest."
To participate in Sunstone you only need to have an interest in Mormonism and a willingness to engage respectfully, thoughtfully, and intelligently.
Come, join us!
What to expect at the symposium:
Each summer, the Sunstone SLC Symposium hosts over 100 presentations on Mormonism, given by scholars, writers, podcasters, and activists from many points on the orthodoxy spectrum: mainstream Latter-day Saints, fundamentalists, polygamists, non-Mormons, ex-Mormons, and members of the many different sects of the Restoration movement. You can view our current program here.
The sheer number of Symposium sessions might seem overwhelming, but we're here to help.
How to attend:
This information is provided for details on attending an in-person conference. For more information on our 2020 symposium, visit our symposium page here. There will not be a 2020 New Attendees Dinner.
- Register online at sunstone.org, (You can register at the door, but it's a little more expensive). Make sure to add a ticket for the Saturday evening banquet. It will be recorded as "Awesomest Mormon Party Ever" in your Book of Remembrance.
- Watch your inbox for updates and info about the conference
- Register for our New Attendees Dinner Orientation
- Parking is free and all around the venue, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a spot.
- Walk to the South Towne Expo Center main doors! (Or sprint! The first 50 attendees each morning get a "door buster" prize!)
- Pick up your name badge and program at the registration/check-in desk.
- If you need children's workshops, they will be available onsite for $1 an hour.
- Flip through the program and mark which of the 6–8 concurrent presentations you'd like to attend each session. If you plan to attend a popular presentation, make sure to get there early—seating is first come first served.
- The Expo Center will have concessions open all day for your convenience. Our food guide has more info!
- Don't miss our evening plenary sessions. These are the highlights of the Symposium!
- Bring a little extra cash. Benchmark Books will be hosting a book store onsite. And you're sure to see something amazing on Handcrafters Row where Mormon memorabilia and crafts will be for sale.
- Saturday evening, party with us at the banquet! (You bought your ticket, right?)
That's everything! Get ready to have a great time with your favorite Mormon scholars, historians, podcasters, bloggers, and friends!
1.Can I register for individual sessions?
Yes. Individuals sessions are $22 each, but once you hear one presentation, you'll likely want to stay for more. It is a better deal to register for the entire conference.
2. Does the Symposium offer discounts?
Yes. People who volunteer for one day of the conference can attend the rest of the conference at a discounted rate. To volunteer email Lindsay at email@example.com with "Volunteer" in the subject line and the dates you are available to attend the conference.
3. Is Sunstone anti-Mormon? Will I get in trouble with my church leaders if I attend?
Let's put it this way. Sunstone's director of publications is the Sunday school president for his LDS ward. The majority of Sunstone attendees are active Latter-day Saints, and are often a part of the lay leadership (bishop, Relief Society president, stake president, etc.). They actually find that the Symposium strengthens their interest in Mormonism and gives them fresh ways to approach it. Come see for yourself how big, vibrant, diverse, and open a gathering of Mormons can be!
4. Is Sunstone too faithful or apologetic to those who have left the Church?
Let's put it this way: Sunstone's assistant director is the host of the podcast A Year of Polygamy. In other words, we're not afraid to talk about the hard stuff. But instead of hashing out the same old arguments, we encourage our attendees to forge new insights amongst themselves. This can only be done when we talk respectfully, intelligently, honestly, and openly. We hope everyone leaves the Symposium with at least one of their ideas tantalizingly challenged.
5. Can I bring my children?
Children two and under are permitted into sessions as long as parents make sure their children are quiet. If your child is loud or distracting, please take them into the hallway. Children over three are welcome to attend Children's Workshops in room 400 at the north end of the venue. Prices are $1 per hour, per child.
6. How can I be a part of next year's Symposium?
The Call For Papers deadline is March 1, 2020, though you can definitely submit your presentation before then. The 2020 Call For Papers will open September 1, 2019.
7. How do I find out more information about the symposium?
Here's the landing page for all symposium-related information. Don't forget to register!
8. Do you hold events in other areas?
Yes! Sunstone is expanding! While the SLC Summer Symposium is our biggest event, we also hold smaller regional conferences in many locations. Check out our current event schedule.
Mission of Sunstone
The mission of The Sunstone Education Foundation is to sponsor open forums of Mormon thought and experience.
We examine and express the rich spiritual, intellectual, social, and artistic qualities of Mormon history and contemporary life. We encourage humanitarian service, honest inquiry, and responsible interchange of ideas that is respectful of all people and what they hold sacred.
We aren't alone! Check out some quotes from LDS and Mormon leaders below:
"I admire men and women who have developed the questing spirit, who are unafraid of new ideas as stepping stones to progress. We should, of course, respect the opinions of others, but we should also be unafraid to dissent–if we are informed. Thoughts and expressions compete in the marketplace of thought, and in that competition truth emerges triumphant. Only error fears freedom of expression… This free exchange of ideas is not to be deplored as long as men and women remain humble and teachable. Neither fear of consequence or any kind of coercion should ever be used to secure uniformity of thought in the church. People should express their problems and opinions and be unafraid to think without fear of ill consequences. … We must preserve freedom of the mind in the church and resist all efforts to suppress it."
— Hugh B. Brown
"I did not like the old man being called up for erring in doctrine. It looks too much like the Methodist, and not like the Latter-day Saints. Methodists have creeds which a man must believe or be asked out of their church. I want the liberty of thinking and believing as I please. It feels so good not to be trammeled. It does not prove that a man is not a good man because he errs in doctrine."
— Joseph Smith, History of the Church, 5:340
"If we have the truth, it cannot be harmed by investigation. If we have not the truth, it ought to be harmed."
– President J. Reuben Clark
"…regardless of your circumstances, your personal history, or the strength of your testimony, there is room for you in this Church."
— President Dieter Uchtdorf
"I think you'd be as aware as I am that that we have many people who are members of the church who do not have some burning conviction as to [the origins of the Book of Mormon], who have some other feeling about it that is not as committed to foundational statements and the premises of Mormonism. But we're not going to invite somebody out of the church over that any more than we would anything else about degrees of belief or steps of hope or steps of conviction. … We would say: "This is the way I see it, and this is the faith I have; this is the foundation on which I'm going forward. If I can help you work toward that I'd be glad to, but I don't love you less; I don't distance you more; I don't say you're unacceptable to me as a person or even as a Latter-day Saint if you can't make that step or move to the beat of that drum." … We really don't want to sound smug. We don't want to seem uncompromising and insensitive."
– Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
"Let us have the courage to defy the consensus, the courage to stand for principle. Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval. Courage becomes a living and an attractive virtue when it is regarded not only as a willingness to die manfully, but as the determination to live decently. A moral coward is one who is afraid to do what he thinks is right because others will disapprove or laugh. Remember that all men have their fears, but those who face their fears with dignity have courage as well."
– Thomas S. Monson, "Courage Counts," Ensign, Nov. 1986, 41.
"As a means of coming to truth, people in the Church are encouraged by their leaders to think and find out for themselves. They are encouraged to ponder, to search, to evaluate, and thereby to come to such knowledge of the truth as their own consciences, assisted by the Spirit of God, lead them to discover. Brigham Young said: 'I am more afraid that this people have so much confidence in their leaders that they will not inquire for themselves of God whether they are led by him. I am fearful they settle down in a state of blind self-security. … Let every man and woman know, by the whispering of the Spirit of God to themselves, whether their leaders are walking in the path the Lord dictates, or not' (Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe [1941], 135). In this manner no one need be deceived."
– James E. Faust, "The Truth Shall Make You Free," Ensign, September 1998
"Brothers and sisters, as good as our previous experience may be, if we stop asking questions, stop thinking, stop pondering, we can thwart the revelations of the Spirit. Remember, it was the questions young Joseph asked that opened the door for the restoration of all things. We can block the growth and knowledge our Heavenly Father intends for us. How often has the Holy Spirit tried to tell us something we needed to know but couldn't get past the massive iron gate of what we thought we already knew?"
– Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Acting on the Truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ," Worldwide Leadership Training, 2/11/12
"In this Church there is an enormous amount of room—and scriptural commandment—for studying and learning, for comparing and considering, for discussion and awaiting further revelation. We all learn 'line upon line, precept upon precept,' with the goal being authentic religious faith informing genuine Christlike living. In this there is no place for coercion or manipulation, no place for intimidation or hypocrisy."
– Jeffrey R. Holland, "A Prayer for the Children," Ensign, May 2003
"Some are lost because they are different. They feel as though they don't belong. Perhaps because they are different, they find themselves slipping away from the flock. They may look, act, think, and speak differently than those around them and that sometimes causes them to assume they don't fit in. They conclude that they are not needed. Tied to this misconception is the erroneous belief that all members of the Church should look, talk, and be alike. The Lord did not people the earth with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to value the piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the complex beauty of the symphony. All of Heavenly Father's children are different in some degree, yet each has his own beautiful sound that adds depth and richness to the whole. This variety of creation itself is a testament of how the Lord values all His children. He does not esteem one flesh above another, but He "inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; … all are alike unto God."
– Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Concern for the One," Ensign, May 2008
"Sometimes, well-meaning amplifications of divine principles—many coming from uninspired sources—complicate matters further, diluting the purity of divine truth with man-made addenda. One person's good idea—something that may work for him or her—takes root and becomes an expectation. And gradually, eternal principles can get lost within the labyrinth of "good ideas." This was one of the Savior's criticisms of the religious "experts" of His day, whom He chastised for attending to the hundreds of minor details of the law while neglecting the weightier matters…Because love is the great commandment, it ought to be at the center of all and everything we do in our own family, in our Church callings, and in our livelihood. Love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. It is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. It is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk."
– Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, November 2009
"Some members exclude from their circle of fellowship those who are different. When our actions or words discourage someone from taking full advantage of Church membership, we fail them–and the Lord. The Church is made stronger as we include every member and strengthen one another in service and love."
– Jeffrey R. Holland, "Helping Those Who Struggle with Same-Gender Attraction," Liahona, October 2007
"We have heard men who hold the priesthood remark that they would do anything they were told to do by those who preside over them (even) if they knew it was wrong; but such obedience as this is worse than folly to us; it is slavery in the extreme; and the man who would thus willingly degrade himself, should not claim a rank among intelligent beings, until he turns from his folly. A man of God would despise the idea. Others, in the extreme exercise of their almighty authority have taught that such obedience was necessary, and that no matter what the saints were told to do by their presidents, they should do it without any questions. When the Elders of Israel will so far indulge in these extreme notions of obedience as to teach them to the people, it is generally because they have it in their hearts to do wrong themselves."
– Joseph Smith, Millennial Star, Vol. 14, Num. 38, pp.593-595
"More thinking is required, and we should all exercise our God-given right to think and be unafraid to express our opinions, with proper respect for those to whom we talk and proper acknowledgment of our own shortcomings. We must preserve freedom of the mind in the church and resist all efforts to suppress it. The church is not so much concerned with whether the thoughts of its members are orthodox or heterodox as it is that they shall have thoughts."
– Hugh B. Brown, "A Final Testimony," Edward B. Firmage, The Memoirs of Hugh B. Brown: An Abundant Life, Signature Books, Salt Lake City, 1988, pg. 135-140 http://www.
"But while the Atonement is meant to help us all become more like Christ, it is not meant to make us all the same. Sometimes we confuse differences in personality with sin. We can even make the mistake of thinking that because someone is different from us, it must mean they are not pleasing to God. This line of thinking leads some to believe that the Church wants to create every member from a single mold—that each one should look, feel, think, and behave like every other. This would contradict the genius of God, who created every man different from his brother, every son different from his father. Even identical twins are not identical in their personalities and spiritual identities. It also contradicts the intent and purpose of the Church of Jesus Christ, which acknowledges and protects the moral agency—with all its far-reaching consequences—of each and every one of God's children. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are united in our testimony of the restored gospel and our commitment to keep God's commandments. But we are diverse in our cultural, social, and political preferences. The Church thrives when we take advantage of this diversity and encourage each other to develop and use our talents to lift and strengthen our fellow disciples."
– Dieter F. Uchtdorf April 2013, "Four Titles"
"The first and fundamental principle of our holy religion is, that we believe that we have a right to embrace all, and every item of truth, without limitation or without being circumscribed or prohibited by the creeds or superstitious notions of men, or by the dominations of one another, when that truth is clearly demonstrated to our minds, and we have the highest degree of evidence of the same."
– Joseph Smith, Jr., Letter from Joseph Smith to Isaac Galland, Mar. 22, 1839, Liberty Jail, Liberty, Missouri, published in Times and Seasons, Feb. 1840, pp. 53–54
"I want to say to my friends that we believe in all good. If you can find a truth in heaven, earth or hell, it belongs to our doctrine. We believe it; it is ours; we claim it."
– Brigham Young, Discourses of Brigham Young. Selected by John A. Widtsoe. 1941.

People struggling with substance abuse or a mental health disorder need treatment from a skilled, licensed facility. Yet the thought of entering such a program may seem financially impossible. How can you pay for this type of care? Most often, there is insurance for rehab and supportive services available to help you.
If you believe you need and can benefit from drug and alcohol treatment, or if you have a mental health disorder, call FHE Health. Don't give up, and don't put off calling due to financial concerns. Our team can and will help you. For a free, no-risk consultation or just to get immediate help, call (833) 596-3502 right away for a skilled professional who can assist you.
Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Addiction or Mental Health Treatment?
In many cases, insurance plans cover the cost of addiction and mental health treatment 100 percent. Individuals who are unsure if their private health insurance offers this coverage can contact our team at FHE Health. We can verify coverage for you in a matter of minutes. This will tell you exactly what type of care your plan covers and what that means for your care with us.
The American Medical Association sees drug and alcohol addiction as medical conditions that are diagnosable as well as treatable. As a result of this definition and their classification as substance use disorders, health insurance must cover these types of conditions under their treatment plans for those holding their policies.
Treatment for alcohol and drug addiction as substance use disorders allows for the same level of coverage as any other ailment. Just as a person's heart disease or cancer must be covered, so must substance use disorders.

What Does "Verifying" My Insurance for Rehab Mean?
As noted, we can verify your coverage. To do this, we gather information about what type of insurance you have (based on your coverage provider and policy number) and then contact your insurance provider to find out what type of coverage you have that applies to the services we offer. This process does not mean we will provide services or that you have to receive services from us. However, in a matter of an hour or less, in most cases, you'll know what type of coverage you have and what the costs to you may be.
Our process verifies the status of your plan, the care your plan pays for and the deductibles you must pay. This is a free process, will have no impact on your employment or insurance, and it is also 100 percent confidential.
FHE Health also accepts private health insurance purchased on the Health Insurance Marketplace as well as state-government organized plans. We're happy to give you more information when you contact our admissions counselors.
More Questions about Treatment?
We offer 100% confidential and individualized treatment
What Type of Insurance Plans Do You Accept for Rehab Services?
We accept most types of health insurance plans for rehab. This includes insurance under the Affordable Care Act ("ObamaCare") or Health Insurance Marketplace plans. We also accept supplemental plans and other forms of insurance for rehab (government-backed as well as private health plans).
When you contact us, we can verify any insurance company you may be affiliated with and provide you with information about what coverage is available to you.
What Types of Rehab Services Are Typically Covered By Insurance?
Every plan is different. However, most plans cover the cost of addiction treatment and mental health treatment rather extensively. Among the coverage provided by most plans are the following types of service.
- Assessments: Initial assessments for drug and alcohol addiction as well as for mental health disorders are a component of most health plan coverage. This includes coming to our location, meeting with our team and having a full psychiatric evaluation completed.
- Psychiatric Services: Working with a psychiatrist for substance use disorder is a covered service under most plans. Our team is licensed and certified to provide these services to you, which means these services are recognized by most health insurance plans.
- Detoxification: Individuals who are in a critical state of care and are using alcohol or drugs right now can receive detox coverage. This pays for you to receive care at our facility to allow you to detoxify or remove the chemical substances from your body that you're addicted to. This is done in a medically supervised facility by trained and licensed medical doctors. Individuals who have mental health disorders and need to be stabilized can also receive coverage for immediate needs like this. Detox services are available on an emergency basis but also as the first step in treatment for many patients. Our counselors help determine who needs to enter detox.
- Inpatient, Residential Care: Many people need inpatient care, in which the individual enters a treatment program and remains there. Though this is not the same as hospitalization, the setup is similar in that you remain at our location for a specific number of days or weeks. The length of residential care depends on the patient's needs. We can verify how much time your insurance provider offers to you through your plan.
- Outpatient, Ongoing Care: Outpatient care is typically necessary for most people; some individuals need only this type of treatment. Your insurance plan will cover outpatient care including individual and group counseling sessions. Our outpatient care is a recognized service covered by most plans.
The specific type and amount of coverage you have depends on your plan. When you call our admissions counselors, we will verify this information for you.

How Are Substance Use Disorders and Mental Health Treatment Covered?
Federal law puts in place your right to receive coverage for substance use disorders and mental health conditions. This is done under the 2008 Affordable Care Act and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act.
These laws created significant changes to health insurance policies. Under them, conditions such as substance abuse disorders and other behavioral health conditions are recognized conditions, and health insurance companies are required to provide coverage for them. Insurance companies must provide care for diagnosing and treating these conditions the same way they would any other medical condition a person has. This includes all private and public health insurance plans.
Previous to these laws, individuals with a substance use disorder often lacked health insurance coverage as a result of being deemed to have a pre-existing health condition. They could not obtain private health insurance plans or purchase coverage through some providers because they already had a substance use disorder. The Affordable Care Act limits this. Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, including substance use disorders and mental health conditions, can now obtain a health insurance policy without fear of being turned down due to a pre-existing health condition.
If you don't have health insurance but wish to obtain a plan that covers your care here at FHE Health, our team can help you apply for coverage. This can help to reduce your costs significantly.

That is, we can provide you with information about our services, and you can pay out-of-pocket for the care you need. We are always upfront about costs and offer competitive rates.
