Chapter One
A New Cure, A New Faith
Phineas Pankhurst Quimby was born in Lebanon, New Hampshire, in 1802. He spent most of his life in Belfast, Maine, where he worked as a watch-and clockmaker. One day in 1838 Quimby went to hear Charles Poyen, a French mesmerist, who happened to be passing through Belfast. Mesmerism was a theory first proposed by Franz Anton Mesmer (1734-1815), who apparently had "discovered" the principle of animal magnetism and had become well known in Europe for his "marvelous cures."
Upon hearing Poyen, Quimby immediately became a convert and took up mesmerism on a part-time basis. With the help of a man named Lucus Burkmar, Quimby began giving exhibitions of mesmerism throughout New England. Over the years--exactly when is not clear--Quimby renounced mesmerism. By 1859, when he set up his medical practice in Portland, Maine, Quimby had dissociated himself from mesmerism and a host of other healing movements. Announcements specifically billed him as "opposed to Deism or Rochester Rapping Spiritualism." He was said to offer instead "Spiritual Science."
Newspapers throughout New England came to cover what was reported as a startling development, the discovery of "a new principle of treatment of diseases." Apparently, Quimby's novel medical practice involved "investigations in psychology." The press reported that Quimby's "new theory of disease" was "so contrary to the commonly received opinions" that people "hardly dare believe there can be any truth in it." Quimby would treat his patients simply by "sit[ting] down beside [the patient], and put[ting] himself en rapport with him." He did "not use medicine or any material agency, nor call to his aid mesmerism or any spiritual influence whatever." Rather, observers maintained, "his power over disease arises from his subtle knowledge of the mind."
What mid-nineteenth-century Americans found strangely fascinating--Quimby's reliance upon psychology to diagnose and heal--has become commonplace today. So thoroughly infused are we with psychological conceptions of health that it is almost impossible to imagine that such a conception might be new or even nonexistent. Yet, in Quimby's story we see a snapshot of America's journey to the therapeutic altar. Several decades before Freud came on the scene, Quimby proclaimed the mind's role in producing illness. He also announced that the psyche had curative powers if only man knew how to harness them. Quimby claimed to have the secret to such a therapeutics. The secret lay in science and in faith. Quimby's "mental therapeutics"--or mind cure, as it came to be called--preached a "therapeutic ethos," a new psychological gospel.
Quimby's New Moral Calculus
After Quimby's death many of his followers sought to explain the essence of his methods and philosophy; however, the best source is his own writings. Quimby's four-hundred-page tome Science of Health and Happiness explores a wide range of topics, including language, mind, patriotism, the cause of man's troubles, the rich and the poor, music, parables, death, imagination, the efficacy of prayer, shadow and substance, superstitious beliefs, the identity of man and God, right and wrong, the senses, knowledge and wisdom, odor, the standard of law, character, happiness, conservatism, intelligence, aristocracy and democracy, and false reasoning.
Despite the book's many subjects, Quimby's interest, at least in his own eyes, was actually quite singular: "I frequently introduce subjects into my articles which do not seem to have any bearing on the subject of disease, but they do." Writing before the era of specialization but at a time when science was acquiring enormous prestige, Quimby related all topics to disease. Indeed, he criticized his contemporaries for failing to recognize the centrality of health and happiness to all aspects of life. In particular, he took the religion, medicine, and the morality of his day to task for embracing an untherapeutic agenda.
Quimby denounced religion as it was currently practiced for contributing to sickness and distress. Indeed, he went so far as to argue that "religion and disease is synonymous" (235). According to Quimby, religion promoted disease by idealizing suffering. He insisted that most people "believe ... if they suffer, it is for their good to convince them of the weakness of man's wisdom and his dependence on a superior power and if they suffer for his sake they will receive a reward in heaven that shall recompense them for all their suffering" (177). Mocking his contemporaries, Quimby rejected a logic that connected deprivation and reward.
Quimby objected to religion's convincing believers that denial in this world would result in salvation in the next: he lambasted those who "tell you, you are in danger of losing your soul" and those who "offer great inducements for you to enlist in the army of the Lord and fight for their own particular creed, promising you a crown of glory at the end of the war or when you die, so you are deprived of every pleasure you might otherwise enjoy, and torment yourself to death, merely for what you are promised at the end of your lives." Quimby viewed his contemporaries' obsession with punishment and the afterlife as both sacrilegious and unhealthful.
By contrast, Quimby imagined his "spiritual science" as a religion that was therapeutic. It sought to help man understand himself. Quimby's God not only had no need for punishment but had done everything in his power to help man achieve health and happiness in this world. According to Quimby, postponement of happiness was a false idea, a form of idolatry that man practiced at his own peril. Indeed, Quimby argued that man had both a moral and a medical obligation to get out from under such falsehoods. He preached that spiritual science would lead the way out.
It would do so by curing the sick of their false beliefs. Quimby maintained that such an approach was one that Jesus himself had practiced. He sought to save his followers "from the misery of belief, and introduce a new science of kingdom, where there would be no offering up of prayer or forgiving of sins, but a consciousness or science that would put them in possession of a knowledge of themselves." Quimby imagined religion as a science that helped man gain self-knowledge and find happiness. His therapeutic vision of religion was one in which self-consciousness released man from ideas that bound him to his troubles.
Quimby believed that to be cured, man had to cast off false ideas promoted not only by religion but also by medicine. He accused doctors of promoting the false idea that disease was physiological in origin and material in nature. He scoffed at such falsehoods, ridiculing physicians who asserted that disease was "a certain something that comes in various shapes and on various accounts or causes, and attacks people in various parts of the body." A consideration of the evidence demonstrated the absurdity of this medical principle: "If [the disease] is a thing of itself, did anyone ever see it? In all postmortem examinations and dissections of bodies which have taken place, had the thing dissected been found in the body?" Confident that the answer to both questions would be no, Quimby concluded, "You know yourself that it [is] not a material thing of itself." For Quimby the problem with the medicine of his age was not simply that it did not hold up to Victorian standards of evidence--a faith in the visibility or readability of truth--but that it was lethal.
Quimby viewed the medicine of the age as superstition with deadly consequences. It deserved not respect but contempt. "For instance a physician, from his theory, which is based on the lowest grade of ignorance and superstition produces a chemical change in your friend and blows him up or kills him from his science, and your friend gives him credit for being a scientific man. Now to kill a person by the theory of science of the faculty is one of the easiest things in the world." Quimby attributed medicine's murderous record to its emphasis on physiology. In Quimby's view, doctors failed to cure because they neglected the mind; they mistakenly believed the body to be all important.
According to Quimby, even when medicine did not kill, it did more harm than good. He gave as an example the case of a woman with "a very fine piano." The woman in question placed "a great value" upon the piano. She "feel[s] annoyed by everyone coming in and thrumming on the keys." Indeed, when anyone approaches the piano the patient becomes nervous. Eventually a physician is sent for. "He comes in as ignorant of music as the rest, goes to the piano and begins to look at it." As the doctor fiddles with the piano the patient becomes increasingly agitated. The doctor says, "You look sick and your blood is low. You need some little tonic.... I will leave you some powders." On his way out the doctor strikes the piano keys once more, and the patient's condition worsens.
In a few days the doctor returns: "The sight of the doctor reminds [the patient] of the instrument and [the patient] grows nervous." This process is repeated until "they have run through the medical faculty." So consumed with the body are the doctors that they fail to understand the patient's possessive attitude toward her piano. They also fail to comprehend the power of imagery and association, for even the sight of the doctor recalls the patient's feelings of possessiveness and nervousness. Because medicine focused on the corporal and neglected the patient's mind, it did not succeed. In this case, material interventions were bound to fail, according to Quimby, because the woman's sickness stemmed from an emotional association, a set of feelings about the piano.
Few today would dispute Quimby's theory of association. Psychotherapists believe that images can trigger emotional as well as physical reactions and that therapists need to be sensitive to the patient's psychological history. Quimby's appreciation of psychodynamics makes him strikingly modern. Yet, his account of going through the entire medical faculty and even his description of the piano lady's problem is thoroughly nineteenth-century. Quimby's vision of psychodynamics is utterly mechanical and literal. The doctor's presence calls up unpleasant experiences, and "the sight" of him makes the piano lady ill.
Quimby maintained that despite the damage done by doctors in such a case, his "true" or "spiritual" science could cure. It was an effective medicine, for it took account of the role of beliefs in producing sickness. Quimby placed ideas and the mind at the heart of his medicine. What his contemporaries called disease, Quimby saw as the external manifestation of internal error or ignorance. Disease existed in the mind "in the form of belief, and the body being under the control of the mind, and subject to its influence is molded and affected just in proportion to the state of mind, in its belief." The trick to therapeutics, according to Quimby, was to set the mind in the "true direction." A sick person, "deceived by error" and "in trouble," needed to be shown his "false direction." He needed to be put "in possession of a science" that taught "that thought is matter governed by another power and that his own belief is the cause of his trouble, and that to correct his belief is his cure." According to Quimby, his spiritual science was such a science.
With his spiritual science Quimby forged not only a fundamentally new vision of religion and medicine but indeed a new morality. Dismissing self-denial as untherapeutic, immoral, and sacrilegious, Quimby's new moral calculus emphasized the ideal of self-fulfillment. His science, or medicine, was designed to secure happiness. In fact, he argued that contentment and growth were the standards by which his healing methods could be judged. As his book, Science of Health and Happiness , indicated, all interventions that resulted in the patient's feeling better were clearly successful. This new perspective links Quimby to the modern therapeutic project. Independent of Freud, Americans chartered their own therapeutic course.
Quimby's therapeutic morality was created out of a Victorian vocabulary of moral absolutism and self-improvement. It relied heavily on the dichotomies of truth and falsehood, right and wrong, knowledge and ignorance. It defined these absolutes, however, in terms of subjective feelings of health and well-being. The goal of Quimby's medicine was to put man in possession of truth so that he could be cured of his false ideas. Quimby admitted only two kinds of ideas, true and false ones. False ideas made people sick. As Quimby explained it, "The effect of error is discord, disease, and death." Conversely, truth "takes matter in a deranged state, giving a true direction, and the effect is harmony, happiness, and peace." Quimby's emphasis on acquiring truth and banishing falsehoods links him to the Victorian culture from which he came. Victorians devoted considerable energy to the elimination of falsehoods, viewing their prevalence as one of the major problems of the age. But whereas most other Victorians mobilized for the purpose of enhancing the chances for salvation and improving character, Quimby did so to improve health and happiness in this world.
Quimby also put Victorian techniques of self-improvement to new uses. Victorians embraced self-consciousness as a technique for overcoming moral turpitude. Rejecting the corporal punishment of their forebears, they substituted the mind for the body as the site of social control. They advocated extreme self-consciousness as the way to guard against sinful or evil tendencies. Indeed, the Victorians made self-control and self-policing a favored pastime. Quimby drew upon this legacy to advance therapeutic goals. He advocated self-consciousness as the way to keep happy and achieve a state of perfect health. For Quimby, policing the mind for wrong ideas was a technique not of salvation but of self-fulfillment.
With such a vision, Quimby exceeded the bounds of mid-nineteenth-century American culture and laid the ground for modern therapeutic culture. Indeed, he put himself directly at odds with the "self-improvement" literature of his age. Whereas the didactic energies of the Victorians went into promoting diligence, perseverance, and self-denial, Quimby's went into promoting personal contentment. He repeatedly insisted that "happiness being man's aim, it is what we are all striving for" (90) and that "every idea going to destroy the progress of happiness must perish" (149). He defined his therapeutic mission in terms of eliminating unhappiness: "My method is based on a science ... which destroys opinions on all subjects which tend to disturb man's happiness" (5). Condemning his contemporaries for promoting a morality of grief and discouragement, Quimby proposed a morality of happiness.
It is perhaps Quimby's concern with unhappiness and personal troubles that marks him most conspicuously as an important precursor to the therapeutic gospel of modern America. In his practice Quimby saw patients who suffered from what he called false ideas, what today would be called emotional problems. Reviewing his years of medical service, Quimby described his patients as consumed with troubles stemming from incorrect beliefs and mental distortions: "I have sat with more than 300 individuals every year for 20 years, and for the last 5 years I have averaged 500 yearly, people with all sorts of diseases in every possible state of mind, and with hypochondriacs and insanity brought on by all kind of ideas that people believed in" (90). It was to these ideas and inner problems that Quimby directed his therapeutic attention. As Quimby himself continually put it, "My practice is unlike all medical practice. I give not medicine or outward applications. I tell the patient his troubles."
Like a modern-day therapist or counselor, Quimby addressed himself to the mind and its role in hindering happiness and development. He was committed to what today would be called emotional growth. As he explained this interest, "That which gives me the most satisfaction is to develop a mind capable of development." Quimby devoted himself to excavating those mental constructions that prevented self-development and distorted man's view of himself. He blamed feelings for skewing man's image of both himself and the world: "Your feelings as far as I have gone are witnesses that testify against you. You have none to appear on your behalf and you are cast into prison by these false witnesses" (56). Quimby imagined himself in the role of a lawyer, defending the patient against his own feelings and ideas, He sought to expose the mind's role in misrepresentation. Quimby was convinced that if man understood himself, he could correctly interpret himself: "If man knew what he was composed of, that is the identity called man, then his wisdom would put a different construction on his acts" (116). Doctors could help patients by getting at their true identity, by helping them correctly interpret their acts and feelings. Within a thoroughly Victorian vocabulary, Quimby, like a modern-day therapist, called upon his clients to obtain self-knowledge.
His actual medical practice also links him to modern-day therapy. While Quimby treated and analyzed a variety of cases, he was particularly excited about the role of spiritual science in what we today would call interpersonal relations. He was convinced, for example, that mental treatment could have a profound effect on troubled marriages, for he thought marital problems stemmed from "ignorance of ourselves." Quimby extolled the practical implications of spiritual science for marital troubles: "I have also found that I can change the mind so that a person that is hated can be loved ... and also that the person that is changed can respect what he never had any respect for" (149). Recognizing the power of the therapeutic gospel to shape personal relations, Quimby lamented its limited use.
Quimby describes one case, for example, that could have been solved if only it had been brought to him early enough. In the case of the "Divorced Lady" the husband and wife had loved each other when they married and continued to do so until the lady "took cold and was very sick." Once sick, "she lost all patience, had no confidence in her husband, forsook his bed, and would not have anything to do with him." The rejected husband got a divorce. Looking behind the behavior of the couple, Quimby finds a wealth of subtle psychological motivations that explain how their love turned into hatred.
According to Quimby, the lady's "sickness caused her husband to fear for her life." But she "put a false construction on his fears; for his love when she was well did not excite her fears." Apparently, she was unable to recognize her husband's love for her at least in part because when she was well he did not express his love through fear. In addition, her fear that her husband did not love her "attached to her trouble, made her worse so that the more he would try and please her, the more he tormented her till each one's love turned to hatred, and at last they were divorced." Quimby blames fear for distorting the true situation. He is certain that if she could have been made aware of the "insane idea" that was causing the "discord," she could have been cured. Generalizing, Quimby concludes that "insanity consists in some little discord that might be corrected, if the person knew it" (40-40. But most people, Quimby sadly reports, remain completely ignorant of the psychological method of treatment.
Quimby, of course, was right to view his therapeutics as marginal. Few of Quimby's contemporaries believed that most problems had psychological origins or that mental sources of illness and discontent were as important as physical sources. They did not agree with Quimby that if man was "as careful as to what he does believe as he will be about what he eats or drinks," travel could resume on the "true scientific highway" and happiness and health could be reestablished. They did not see consciousness as the key to health and happiness, even though they saw it as the key to salvation and virtue. During Quimby's lifetime, the therapeutic gospel he forged out of the religion and medicine of his day, a gospel that emphasized happiness and demanded faith in psychological cures, remained on the sidelines of American culture.
In the 1890s, however, approximately forty years after Quimby articulated his core therapeutic principles, mind cure, or mental therapeutics, became the rage. The movement that embraced mental healing became known as New Thought. Its devotees could be found in large urban areas as well as smaller cities and towns. For example, major centers of New Thought included Hartford, Connecticut, San Jose, California, Walla Walla, Washington, Pueblo, Colorado, Fort Worth, Texas, Eliot, Maine, Jackson, New Hampshire, and Oscawana, New York. There were local New Thought organizations, like the League for the Larger Life, whose mission was "to spread a knowledge of the fundamental principles that underlie healthy and harmonious living" and "to assist the individual in the solution of personal problems," and the Church of the Higher Life, "where words of cheer and friendly fellowship might be given and exchanged." It had a corps of fifty-two letter writers who wrote "cheerful words" to anyone who for any reason felt "shut in from fellowship with the outside world." In addition to local organizations, New Thought had a national organization, the National New Thought Alliance, and even an international organization, the International Divine Science Association.
Most New Thought activity, however, was not directed toward those who had personal contact with the movement's instructors, organizations, or healers. Rather, it was directed toward the anonymous readers of books and periodicals. In many ways New Thought was a movement of the printed word, promoting its ideas through a broad range of publications, including philosophical treatises, novels, and practical-advice literature. It was really New Thought's self-help books that captured the public imagination. Ralph Waldo Trine's In Tune with the Infinite , for example, sold more than 1.5 million copies. Elizabeth Towne's books, which included Practical Methods for Self-Development and How to Use New Thought in Home Life , sold more than 100,000 copies each. Henry Wood's Ideal Suggestions through Mental Photography , Helen Bigelow Miriam's What Shall Make Us Whole , and Annie Payson Call's The Power of Repose were also New Thought bestsellers.
New Thought reached its broadest audience through magazines. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries more than a hundred New Thought magazines reached a mass audience. Nautilus , for example, had an estimated 45,000 subscribers and a circulation of 150,000. Unity magazine achieved a similarly large circulation. Other important New Thought magazines include Fulfillment (later Aspire ), Wayside Lights , the Universal Truth Monthly, Success Magazine, Realization, Mind, Mental Science Magazine , the Journal of Practical Metaphysics, Immortality, The Higher Law, Harmony , and Now , "a monthly journal of positive affirmations devoted to mental science and the art of living." New Thoughters even boasted a magazine for German Americans, Das Wart , and one for children, Wee Wisdom . At the height of its popularity New Thought had an advice column published in the mainstream women's magazine Good Housekeeping .

Sometimes it's easy to forget, as we've become comfortable with Willie Nelson just what a game-changer he has been. When it came to casino showroom entertainment back in 1978, Willie Nelson broke all the rules. Nobody had seen anything like him in an atmosphere defined by the traditional crooners in tuxes – Tony Bennett, Franks Sinatra, Eddie Fisher. Blue jeans rarely made an appearance, least of all on the headliner.
Yet, here came Willie, booked into the South Shore Room at Harrah's Lake Tahoe, one of the most elegant showrooms in the state, brought in by his agent, the legendary Jerry Weintraub (who died just a few weeks ago). He wore blue jeans and that bandana, which has since become inevitably associated with him. His band was a motley assortment.
Audiences had only recently become accustomed to any country music in that room at all. Eddie Arnold broke that mold. But Nelson was no tuxedoed Eddy Arnold, no Mel Tillis in bright blue and glitter. There were many in the audience who walked out. Who did this man think he was? But as quickly as they walked, someone filled their seats, someone waiting in the cancellation line who knew what he didn't want to miss.
Nelson did back then what he has done since. He started with "Whiskey River" after saying "Good evening" and ended 90 minutes later with a "Good night." Nary a minute of banter for the entire show. It was not necessary. Still isn't. The man's wit is still in his arrangements, phrasing and mastery of lyrics, and there is no longer any need to defend him.
Friday's set list at Thunder Valley is completely unpredictable. Nelson draws from a deep well of hits, dating back to his early days as a sessions player in Nashville.
And there's a bonus this show: Nelson will be joined by Alison Krauss and Union Station and their excellent bluegrass and country takes. For a simple introduction to this Krauss' talent, listen to "Raising Sand," her 2007 six-Grammy-Awards-winning album with Robert Plant. Union Station includes another Grammy winner – Dobro master Jerry Douglas, whose new band the Earls of Leicester recently headlined the Lake Tahoe Bluegrass Festival. (7 p.m.; $49.75-$189.75;

What will the format of the tryout look like?We'll do a combination of technical exercises, small-sided games, and full-field scrimmages in order to determine the technical ability of all of the players and suitability for the 9v9 and 11 v 11 formats.
How will the players be evaluated?Players will be evaluated primarily in these four areas PSIA – Personality, Skill, Intelligence and Athleticism
How will the players be grouped?The players are divided into groups based on their current teams and ongoing evaluations throughout the year. There will be movement from group to group during the two day tryout based on each player's individual performance level.
Do the players need to be at both nights of the tryout?Yes, they do. In the event of a conflict, please tell us in advance that your child may be absent so that we can plan accordingly.
Is there really any need for a tryout?Yes. While we evaluate players as much as possible throughout the year, the coaches need to make comparisons in our own controlled environment. There are also a number of players new to the club who come to tryouts every year. Players will be selected on merit and not necessarily according to where they have played previously.
When will the teams be formed and when should I expect a phone call?Teams will be formed after the May identification sessions, and will be contacted by the specific head coach. We will offer supplemental DA Identification sessions mid July to finalize all DA rosters.
Parental Involvement at the tryoutsParents will be asked to sit away from the field during the tryouts. We will not have parents sit by the side of the field as we need to be able to communicate directly with the players without them being distracted.
How many players will there be on each roster?Roster sizes differ from team to team as we seek to find the most appropriate spot for each player. Rosters sizes for U11 – U12 typically range from 12-14 players with some exceptions, and roster sizes for U13 -- U14 typically range from 15-17 players with some exceptions.
Can my child play multiple sports?Yes!!! It is a popular myth that Pride players cannot have multiple commitments or play several sports. We have world class athletes on many of our teams at the moment. Those teams require great commitment, but we feel that well-rounded athletes can contribute significantly to our program. We will not discourage players from sampling what is out there. Players and parents, alike, should simply communicate with the coach ahead of time and work together to ensure a positive experience for all concerned.

There were Methodist in Davidson county, North Carolina as far back as the 1820's with many being organized prior to 1900. In a history of Thomasville, there is a list of "other younger churches," (Wheels of Faith and Courage, Matthews and Sink). In this list are Bethel Methodist Church (1920's), Trinity Methodist Church (1922), Johnsontown Methodist Church (1929), Pine Woods Methodist Church and Pleasant Grove Methodist Church.
In 1921, Mrs. Lillie Morgan started a Sunday School in an empty house belonging to Jewel Cotton Mill on Johnson Street for those who lived near and did not attend church elsewhere. This same year, the Reverend James H. Green held a revival meeting in Thomasville, and following this meeting several got together and organized a church. The following persons were charter members of the church: Mrs. R. M. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Morgan, Mrs. Odessa Morgan Crotts, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Daligney, Mr. and Mrs. Nelison Loflin, Miss Cleta Loflin, Mrs. John Connor, Mrs. Lillie Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Brown.
Donations were given amounting to $3,000 at an organizational meeting and the church structure was started on Blair St. The property for the church and the adjoining property for the first parsonage were donated by Mrs. A. V. Crutchfield. The Reverend W. A. Newell, The Presiding Elder, preached the first sermon in the new church in May 1922. Since no name had been decided on, the church was known as East Thomasville Methodist Episcopal Church, South. At a later time, the church was renamed Trinity by the Reverend Mr. Newell. The first pastor of the church was the Reverend J. C. Richardson, 1921-1923. The church had a membership of 25 at the time of organization.
Trinity Church was served by the same pastor as Bethel Methodist Church, thus the Trinity-Bethel Charge was formed in 1925. In 1929, Johnsontown Church was added to the Charge. In 1939, following unification of the three main Methodist denominations, Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, South, became Trinity Methodist Church and a member of the Western North Carolina Conference of The Methodist Church.
The first parsonage, which would later serve as a church hut, was completed in 1927 during the ministry of the Reverend R. J. Houck. In May 1951, the church bought a tract of land on Blair St. Extension for the construction of a new parsonage. The parsonage construction started in 1953 and was completed in 1954 during the pastorate of the Reverend McRae Crawford. The cost was approximately $8,000. The membership of Trinity Methodist Church in that year was approximately 254. In September of 1957, Trinity Methodist Church finished paying Bethel Methodist Church their equity in the old parsonage, owned by the two churches. On May 29, 1960, the Reverend John H. Carper, Thomasville District Superintendent, dedicated the parsonage.
On February 18, 1959, the congregation of Trinity Methodist Church voted at a church conference to become a station church after almost forty years of being on a charge. Following this move, the congregation voted to purchase a 6.6 acre lot on Liberty Dr. for the future relocation of the church. The debt for the lot was liquidated in February of 1960. The building fund for starting a new church was begun on July 1960. The groundbreaking service for the Education Building of Trinity Methodist Church was held on October 15, 1961. The opening service was held in the new building on September 30, 1962. Membership was 276 at that time. The Building Committee was composed of the following: C. E. Shell, Austin Reddick, Jack Grayson, C. R. Tysinger, Murphey Bates, Mrs. Thomas Myers, Mrs. Edward Hale, and The Reverend A. R. Davis.
The Parsonage on Blair St. was sold in September 2000 and plans to build a new one were established. A lot was purchased from Mrs. Bill Murphy at 130 Maplewood Ave, in the Fair Grove Forest development. After construction was completed, it was dedicated in August 2001 with Reverend Jerry Webb and family living there.

The first update of 2019 is out for the Facebook-owned WhatsApp for iOS devices.
WhatsApp version number 2.19.10 has brought several new features like 'Reply Privately' in WhatsApp Groups, the ability to add stickers to photos and videos, and 3D Touch support to preview a contact's status.
Here's a peek at what's fresh in this version of WhatsApp:
Reply Privately: The Reply Privately feature has been available for the Android users since last month. Here, WhatsApp allows the participants of a group to reply privately to a chat. Just long press the message you wish to reply and tap on 'Reply Privately'. This will open the chat with the sender of the selected message, quoting that specific message. This option was already available for iOS when the user wanted to reply to a message from a group where he was no longer a participant, but WhatsApp has finally extended this feature, allowing any type of participant to use it.
See Also: WhatsApp Is Set To Start Displaying Adverts To Users Beginning From 2019
3D Touch actions for WhatsApp status: The nifty 3D touch features have been part of iPhones since iPhone 6S. Now, WhatsApp will let iPhone users take a peek into a contact's WhatsApp status in the Status tab. The user can also mute the status in the status tab. Not all iPhones support 3D touch though. 3D Touch was introduced by Apple in 2015 with the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus models. Even the new iPhone XR doesn't support 3D Touch. It uses Haptic Touch instead.

Stickers on images, videos & Gifs: WhatsApp now lets the user use any stickers on images, videos and GIFs. Just tap on the smiley icon and then scroll down to find stickers. You can also resize the sticker and place it wherever you want in the videos or photos.

Designed by Tour 18, the Augusta Pines golf course opened in 2000.
Augusta Pines has a 100,000 square foot clubhouse, a state-of-the-art practice facility (including six target greens and sand bunkers). The course negotiates mature pines, dogwoods and oaks. A total of 30 acres of lakes come into play on the eleven of the eighteen holes.
Par for the course is 72. From the back tees the course plays to 7,041 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5,007 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 6, a par-5 that plays to 604 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 17, a par-3 that plays to 149 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for # 4, a 470 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Augusta Pines is # 17, a 149 yard par-3. The dramatic finishing holes are back-to-back island greens, the par-3 seventeenth and par-5 eighteenth.
$71 (cart included), played on Sunday, July 2011 at noon
I thought the course was in great shape, especially considering the drought conditions in Texas. One of my favorite courses in the Houston area.
$66 (cart included), played on Thursday, February 2008 at 10am
Better courses nearby...........Nice but not worth the price

It is HIGHLY treatable.
Honestly, I'm living proof of that!
I know so many others that have come out of their anxiety feeling like a Rockstar. What differentiates us from you? The one who's reading this wishing life was different, wishing all of the pain and suffering would go away, wishing that all those overthinking thoughts would just disappear and all would be blissful again… To those of you who feel like it'll never go away, keep reading and you'll find out why.
Now I'm the type of person who says things the way they are… and it's not easy for some people to listen to what I have to say. As humans, other than anxiety created because there's a bear chasing us… we create our own anxiety.
It easy to blame all our anxiety on the weather, on other people, on certain events, on our parents or even on "it just comes for no reasons" but we all know deep inside that you are FULLY lying to yourself.
Seriously lying to yourself. Now some other people might take your bullshit, and pity you. But I know better, I know you are SO MUCH stronger than this. You are so much more alive than this. You are so much more truthful than this. And you have the power to accomplish anything you want…. But it seems like you don't actually want it. The only difference between the victims and the victors is that one decision. ONE DECISION. That you will never give up on yourself no matter how hard it is. No matter how much it hurts, and no matter how much people are not helping. It was that one decision that I wouldn't let anxiety win this battle, that I was going to change and do everything in my power to have a joyful life again.
WE ARE SOUL BEINGS, and our body knows how to cure itself. In this case, our mind has the most power… and how to we change our minds? Well, there's 3 main areas to focus on.
1. Lifestyle
Seriously, what are you eating?
How are you moving your body?
What supplementations are you taking?
How is your sugar intake, how is your alcohol and caffeine intake?
Do you take care of yourself? Do you mediate?
Do you do yoga?
You need a lifestyle that nourishes every part of your body. You need to move, and feel good on the inside. Everything starts with the inside, and in fact… feeding your body with the proper nutrients, water and exercise might just be the key "or the cherry on top as we say" to all your problems. There's a reason why we have 10000 health and wellness coaches around the world, they KNOW that this is a key component to a better mental health. That is certainly a clue.
2. Spiritual
What do you believe in?
Do you follow your gut?
Do you accomplish what you want?
Do you people please?
Do you lack directions and faith?
Do you forgo your intuition?
As a spiritual mentor, I see this A LOT. We listen to what we THINK is the right thing without actually listening to what our soul is screaming at us to do.
We live by pleasing people and saying yes to everything. We fear that someone will judge us, and that we'll make the wrong choice. BUT in fact, we NEVER make the wrong choice, because at the time we make it, it's the right choice… unless it's taking a human/animal life, then that's wrong.
Our soul is screaming at us to do something we love, to live life to it's fullest, and to be US (who we truly and deeply are)!
A lot of the anxiety in the world today is due to Spiritual Anxiety… we don't actually say yes to the things we want… and we are so preoccupied by listening to everyone else, comparing ourselves on social media, and just living in complete and utter fear of change.
Our soul is our guidance, our soul is telling us what we have, and how we will be so much happier but unless you start to listen to it. Nothing will actually change. #Fact
3. Mindset
Do you grow yourself?
Do you make an effort to learn new things?
Do you see the positive in each and every situation?
Do you count your blessing?
Do you listen to podcast or audiobook to feed your mind? Do you believe in yourself?
Do you love yourself? Do you take time to fully embrace who you are?
I could talk about this for days, mindset is a huge component when it comes to anxiety.
Here's another big aspect or trigger within anxiety: lack of self love. In fact Self love, and spiritual lack are the two main factors in today's mental health world.
It's a snow ball effect. If you start with a small diminishing thought, I promise next thing you know… you'll die because you stepped foot out of the house.
And I can guarantee that that first thoughts was something along the lines of "I don't like the way I look", "I'm not worthy", "I'm not where I want to be", or "I'll live comfortably and accept it".
But what if you change those thoughts to, "hey I love my hair today", "I'm worthy of a beautiful loving life", "I have made so much progress in the past year, I'm super proud of myself", "I'm getting closer to my goal", "I want a badass life, and I know that little by little I'll get there".
How different is that?
Wow what a change in vibration and energy. The way you speak to yourself on a daily basis creates your life, and it will propel you in the direction that you want. MINDSET is very important.
Now let me finish this post by saying this. You have all of the power to fight this off and it is right inside of you. You have the opportunity to let go of the things that have hurt you in the past and truly move on. You have all the power to forgive yourself and make the decision that you want a better life for yourself. By taking the time to do something you love or do something that makes you happy on a daily basis, you are choosing yourself before anything else. I promise you'll see magic happening right before your eyes.
You are amazing.
You are strong.
You are beautiful.
And YOU can do this.
I love you xo

35 Great Vastu Tips to Welcome Good Times and Fortune in 2018
Category : Rooms
India is an ancient land of tradition. Our forefathers invented the science of Vastu, which remains hidden in nature. But, what actually is it? To put it in simple words, Vastu is the science of direction that effectively combines all the five elements of nature. Then, it strikes a balance of those elements between man and objects. It is a subtle, yet effective way to bring harmony and channelize energies all around an individual.
Here are #35 DIY vastu tips to bring positive changes to your luck in the upcoming 2018
- Place at least one happy family picture in your living room. If there's enough space and possibility, try to include as many happy photos of you and your family members there as possible.
- Make sure, your prayer room and washrooms are distant apart. Even if there's a latrine near to the prayer room, stop using it.
- If you want to have an aquarium in home, it is better to place it in the north-eastern corner of the living room. Some hard-core vastu enthusiasts will also suggest placing 9 gold fishes and 1black fish in the aquarium to ensure the best results.
- All academic activities should be done facing the east. Ask your kids to study facing the direction in which the sun rises every morning for better academic performances.
- While you sit down for your prayers or worshipping, make sure that you face the north-east direction.
- Make sure, your dining space or hall is never at the front of the house and naturally exposed to everyone, who crosses over your threshold.
- The southern wall of the living room is the best spot to hang a picture of sunrise. Make sure you don't miss out this one.
- Always stay prepared to usher in Lakshmi ji – the goddess of wealth, good luck and fortune – to your home. Keep your home free from stale food, stale flowers, waste materials and useless articles and things. Keep making room for the new things and objects.
- Maintain exemplary cleanliness and hygiene all around the house.
- Make sure, your home has natural air flow and there are enough numbers or quantity of water resources inside.
- Ideally, there shouldn't be any obstruction, in form of other buildings or anything, surrounding your piece of land.
- Tall trees like banyan, peepal, neem or that of any thorny trees should not cast their shadows on your building.
- There must atleast one Tulsi or Basil plant in every household. This plant must be placed in the north-east direction of the plot.
- Make sure that all the windows of your house open in the outward direction. They should not open inward.
- Take necessary measures so that your latrine seat is installed on the south or the west and you face the north while downloading.
- Keeping the bathroom and latrine doors closed as much as possible cuts down the chances of quarrel among household members.
- To facilitate ceaseless flowing in of money, place the almirahs should open to the north. Similarly, keep the cash boxes in the southern direction of your room.
- Mops and brooms should be kept away from sight. You may keep them in a secluded corner of the kitchen where it is difficult for you as well as for others to see them.
- Arrange all your furniture in form of a circle, square or an octagon.
- You can have tiny decorative shrubs and plants inside home, especially Tulsi but place them either in the north or the east. Make sure, they don't grow above 1.5 meter.
- Never ever decorate your kitchen with a mirror.
- Keep all the corners of the rooms well-lit after dusk. This keeps away the negative energy.
- Avoid using separate mattresses and bed sheets in your bedroom.
- Ideally, there should not be any water feature or plants inside the bedroom.
- Television sets and computers should be placed in the south-east corner of the study or living room. They should not clutter up the space in your bedroom.
- The main door to your home should have bright illumination.
- Vastu experts suggest, there shouldn't be any tall tree close to your building. However, such trees – like coconut, palm, mango and others – should be planted either in the south or the west. Make sure, there's no such tree in either the east or the north.
- Marble is a holy stone. Avoid marble flooring in bedrooms and washrooms. Ideally, marble flooring must be restricted to your prayer room alone.
- Thorny plants like cactus stirs tension in the surrounding environment. Avoid such plants at home. However, roses and certain thorny medicinal herbs are different from cactus and are allowed indoors in Vastu science.
- Display paintings on your walls that reflect positivity, like rising sun, moutain range or mountain tops, sea or ocean, flowers, people making merry and of course laughing children. Avoid paintings that show scenes of war, poverty or old lady crying.
- Leave the doors and windows in the north-east direction widely open as much as possible throughout the day regularly to let the positive energy flow inside.
- Be careful so that no bed in the household is placed under a beam.
- Grease the hinges regularly, so that your doors open without making any noise and attracting attention.
- Place a statue of Vajrangbali ji or Lord Hanuman ji in the south-east direction. It repels hazards and chances of arson.
- Place the stove or the burner in the south-east direction in the kitchen, so that you should face the east while you cook.
Follow the tips given above to build a vastu-friendly environment in your home.

Plant Spotlight: "Madagascar Lace Plant", Aponogeton madagascariensis
12 Feb, 2019
via The Wet Spot Tropical Fish
As the species name suggests, Aponogeton madagascariensis originates from the island of Madagascar, located off the eastern coast of Africa. Commonly known as the Madagascar Lace Plant, the defining characteristic of is this species of Aponogeton is the lack of connective tissue that forms the surface of its leaves and lends the plant a somewhat delicate and 'lacy' appearance. Like most Aponogeton, Madagascar Lace Plants are easy to grow in the aquarium. The skeletal appearance of the leaves belies the toughness of this unusual plant. It requires medium lighting and is unfussy about water hardness, temperature or pH (although below 8 appears to be the general consensus). To ensure the health of this plant, it's important that the foliage remain free from debris or algae that would otherwise impede photosynthesis and cause leaves to die.
Characteristic of its genus, Madagascar Lace Plants have bulbs that store nutrients the plant can use to sustain itself through dry periods as well as a dormancy period during which the plant will lose its larger leaves, sprout smaller ones or become completely denuded. At this point, the plant should be left alone to regenerate itself naturally and does not require being completely removed from the aquarium to "rest" as other Aponogeton do.
Under most tank conditions, A. madagascariensis remains a modest size plant that can be used in most aquariums. Adding CO2 fertilization and an enriched substrate produces much larger leaves and exponential growth that can easily overwhelm a 90-gallon tank. Once hailed as the "king of aquarium plants", Madagascar Lace Plants are nonetheless an impressive addition to any hobbyist desiring an unusual and striking specimen to add to their collection.

Patients with type 2 diabetes should be treated to achieve an A1C between 7% and 8% rather than 6.5% to 7%, the American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends in an evidence-based guidance statement.
An A1C test measures a person's average blood sugar level over the past two or three months. An A1C of 6.5% indicates diabetes.
"ACP's analysis of the evidence behind existing guidelines found that treatment with drugs to targets of 7% or less compared to targets of about 8% did not reduce deaths or macrovascular complications such as heart attack or stroke but did result in substantial harms," said Dr Jack Ende, president, ACP. "The evidence shows that for most people with type 2 diabetes, achieving an A1C between 7% and 8% will best balance long-term benefits with harms such as low blood sugar, medication burden, and costs."
ACP recommends that clinicians should personalise goals for blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes based on a discussion of benefits and harms of drug therapy, patients' preferences, patients' general health and life expectancy, treatment burden, and costs of care.
The rationale in guidelines that recommended lower treatment targets (below 7% or below 6.5%) is that more intensive blood sugar control would reduce microvascular complications over many years of treatment. However, the evidence for reduction is inconsistent and reductions were seen only in surrogate microvascular complications such as the presence of excess proteins in the urine.
If patients with type 2 diabetes achieve an A1C of less than 6.5%, ACP recommends that clinicians consider de-intensifying drug therapy by reducing the dosage of current treatment, removing a medication if the patient is currently taking more than one drug, or discontinuing drug treatment.
"Results from studies included in all the guidelines demonstrate that health outcomes are not improved by treating to A1C levels below 6.5%," Ende said. "However, reducing drug interventions for patients with A1C levels persistently below 6.5% will reduce unnecessary medication harms, burdens, and costs without negatively impacting the risk of death, heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, amputations, visual impairment, or painful neuropathy."
ACP also recommends that clinicians should treat patients with type 2 diabetes to minimise symptoms related to high blood sugar rather than targeting an A1C level in patients with a life expectancy less than 10 years due to advanced age (80 years or older) or chronic conditions (such as dementia, cancer, end stage kidney disease, severe COPD or congestive heart failure, and patients residing in nursing homes), as the harms of A1C targeted treatment outweigh the benefits in this patient population.
"Although ACP's guidance statement focuses on drug therapy to control blood sugar, a lower treatment target is appropriate if it can be achieved with diet and lifestyle modifications such as exercise, dietary changes, and weight loss," said Ende.
Noting the policy implication of its recommendations, ACP suggests that any physician performance measures developed to evaluate quality of care should not have a target A1C level below 8% for any patient population and should not have any A1C targets for older adults (age 80 and older) or younger individuals with limited life expectancy because of other serious diseases and illnesses.
More than 30m Americans have diabetes, and 90% to 95% of them have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes most often develops in people over age 45, but more and more children, teens, and young adults are also developing it.
ACP's guidance statements involve a review and methodological critique of existing and sometimes conflicting guidelines rather than a systematic review of available evidence.
Description: The American College of Physicians developed this guidance statement to guide clinicians in selecting targets for pharmacologic treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The National Guideline Clearinghouse and the Guidelines International Network library were searched (May 2017) for national guidelines, published in English, that addressed hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) targets for treating type 2 diabetes in nonpregnant outpatient adults. The authors identified guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement. In addition, 4 commonly used guidelines were reviewed, from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and American College of Endocrinology, the American Diabetes Association, the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, and the US Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense. The AGREE II (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II) instrument was used to evaluate the guidelines.
Guidance Statement 1: Clinicians should personalize goals for glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes on the basis of a discussion of benefits and harms of pharmacotherapy, patients' preferences, patients' general health and life expectancy, treatment burden, and costs of care.
Guidance Statement 2: Clinicians should aim to achieve an HbA1c level between 7% and 8% in most patients with type 2 diabetes.
Guidance Statement 3: Clinicians should consider deintensifying pharmacologic therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes who achieve HbA1c levels less than 6.5%.
Guidance Statement 4: Clinicians should treat patients with type 2 diabetes to minimize symptoms related to hyperglycemia and avoid targeting an HbA1c level in patients with a life expectancy less than 10 years due to advanced age (80 years or older), residence in a nursing home, or chronic conditions (such as dementia, cancer, end-stage kidney disease, or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or congestive heart failure) because the harms outweigh the benefits in this population.

I'm so excited, it's all I can do to not jump in the car RIGHT NOW and hit the road!
That's right, in a little more than a week (8 days and 22 hours, to be exact), Ozzy von Humboldt and I will be embarking on our first epic road trip together! I'm expecting to cover about 5,000 miles across the west and Midwest U.S. in 17 days.
I'll be writing and sharing photos of our adventures here for anyone interested in road tripping fun with their canine copilots.
Stay tuned!
Now back to my long pre-trip to do list…

Hey all! Guess what?!
I'M GOING TO TANZANIA THIS SUMMER WOO!! I know, I know, shocking, seeing as I'm basically there at least once a year.
BUT, this time is going to be different!
I'll explain.
This past summer I met with a fellow of the Gates Malaria Partnership, and she offered an internship opportunity to me and my SO (significant other), Fransuave, at a lab in Muheza, Tanzania.
This lab works on malaria research, so we literally get to help the employees of the lab find cures for different strains of malaria. HOW COOL IS THAT?! (Here's the lab webpage in case you're curious: https://www.nimr.or.tz/research-centres/amani-research-centre/)
While there, we are also going to conduct our own independent research centered around job satisfaction. We chose this topic to study because we are both Psychology majors and are both interested in improving the lives of individuals in a workplace setting.
Just casually out here doing big things, getting stuff done, being super research-y and awesome.
All that being said, it isn't a paid internship. We'll be staying in a guest house attached to the lab, so our cost of living will be very low, but trust me when I say plane tickets do not come cheap. Seriously, you can travel to Australia for cheaper. I know, I checked.
Fransuave is on his A-game (of course, he's incredible,) and has already created a GoFundMe page to raise money for his plane ticket and some expenses of the trip. If you'd like to donate to help Fransuave pay for this internship, here's the link: https://www.gofundme.com/malaria-research-internship
UPDATE: I realized I didn't give any information about Fransuave! Franz is a Psych major too, and is in his third year at UGA. He currently works 2 extremely impressive jobs (like literally he gives the president of UGA current news updates in one of them) and has taken student loans out to help pay for rent and tuition. Fransuave is one of the most responsible, hardworking people I have ever met in my entire life. He is ambitious and basically a genius and is definitely worth any donations given. Trust me, this guy's resume sells itself. I'm incredibly fortunate to be dating such an amazing man.
Be on the lookout, I'll be selling handcrafted items and odds-and-ends soon to raise money for myself!
It is Giving Tuesday, so I wanted to post this today, but if you don't feel lead to give or don't feel you're able to, that's totally okay! I appreciate you so much for keeping up with me and the things Franz and I are doing. I am so thankful for all of you, God really allows this blog to bless me because of you guys. It not only connects me to people I otherwise may not be able to contact, but it really makes me feel loved by all the people who take the time to read my posts.
I love you all, and I can't wait to update everyone on this exciting life development!

Travel planning and booking can be stressful but it doesn't have to be. Back then, if you wanted a flight or hotel booking, you'd need to drive into town and search for a travel agency that will do the booking for you. Not only was this impractical, it's also annoying in more ways than one. Travel agents would often persuade you into adding insurance or other unnecessary fees that will rarely help you. Fortunately, the development and growth of the internet has given birth to a whole new industry: the online travel agency business. In this post, we'll specifically talk about FlightHub. This Canada-based OTA is known by travelers for providing some of the best ticket deals in the market today. Why use FlightHub? Let's find out.
A brief information on FlightHub
FlightHub has been operating in the travel business for over two decades. The organization started as a relatively meager travel office in Ontario, Canada. This was prior to when the web turned out to be generally known and utilized by the general population. In the long run, FlightHub accepted the doors to grow their client base. The organization began enlisting programming engineers, website designers, and more travel operators. The software engineers and designers helped outline and keep up the sites while the travel experts enhanced the clients' web based booking process.
Today, FlightHub offers online flight booking, hotel booking, auto rentals, and they even offer cruise trip tickets.
Why you should start using FlightHub
Online travel agencies exist because travelers want to be able to book their flights quickly and easily. However, as with any kind of business, not all OTA's are the same. Here are some of the reasons that make FlightHub better than other online travel agencies today.
1. FlightHub lets you enjoy the freedom of creating your own itinerary
Several travel agencies offer pre-made travel itineraries. For those who want to have a complete travel plan all throughout their journey, it can be helpful. But a majority of travelers claim that they enjoy their trips more if they have the chance to actually have their own time to explore things. While FlightHub does offer travel guides, you don't necessarily have to travel them. By booking your trips on FlightHub, you can set your own itinerary that is perfectly tailored to your needs. Go ahead and take your time. Enjoy your destination as much as you like and don't worry about tight schedules because you have your own time on your hands.
2. You can save a lot when booking with FlightHub
Many people think that booking directly from the supplier (i.e. airlines, hotels, car rental websites, etc.) are going to make their trips cheaper. This is a misconception. In fact, most discounts and promos are available when you buy from ticket distributors like FlightHub. How? This is because FlightHub has collaborated with these suppliers. Because of this, the company is entitled to have first-access to the limited time promos, discounts, travel bundles, and other things that can make your trip a lot cheaper. For example, instead of booking a flight and a hotel accommodation separately from the suppliers, FlightHub allows you to buy both at a much cheaper price.
3. Always have support from the FlightHub team
While the website and mobile app are very easy to use, there are still some times when we need the support of a live travel agent. If ever you get confused or would like to request a quote, the FlightHub customer support team is always there to help you out. The company has a 24/7 toll-free hotline which you can call at 1-800-900-1431. This is what separates FlightHub from other online travel agencies. If you really are not sure on how to search and book your flight, you may ask their support team to book your tickets for you!
Try FlightHub on your next trip
Do you have an upcoming trip? Why not try FlightHub? The combination of cheap tickets, freedom to make your own itinerary, and the stellar customer service will definitely impress you. If you do decide to use FlightHub, kindly let us hear about your experience in the comments below!

The United States is the largest candy consuming country in the world. According to the National Confectioners Association, Americans spend over 30 billion dollars on confectionery products each year and annual sales are expected to grow. With all that demand, it's no wonder that countries around the world export billions of dollars' worth of confectionery and chocolate products to the U.S. each year. In 2013, the U.S. imported approximately 1.6 billion dollars' worth of confectionery products and 2.1 billion dollars' worth of chocolate products, with Canada and Mexico being the largest suppliers.
With holidays like Halloween, Easter, and Valentine's Day, the U.S. is a great market for candy, but foreign candy manufacturers should be aware of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations that can prevent candy shipments from reaching the country. For example, FDA has multiple Import Alerts that subject certain candy products to detention without physical examination (DWPE) at ports of U.S. entry. Import Alert 33-10 subjects shipments from red-listed companies to DWPE due to candy contaminated with lead. Import Alert 34-02 subjects shipments from red-listed companies to DWPE due to candy imbedded with non-nutritive objects. According to the alert, FDA does not allow non-nutritive objects to be partially or fully imbedded in confectionary products unless FDA has issued a regulation that exempts the particular object.
Certain Import Alerts pertain to any and all companies shipping candy to the United States. Under Import Alerts 33-04 and 33-15, all shipments of candy pacifiers and gel candies containing Konjac are subject to DWPE because they pose a potential choking hazard. Candy manufacturers can be affected by non-candy-specific Import Alerts as well. Import Alert 45-02, which subjects foods containing illegal or undeclared colors to DWPE, lists plentiful candy manufacturers. Many candy manufacturers can also be found on the red list for Import Alert 99-19, which is for products contaminated with Salmonella.
It's important to be aware of FDA Import Alerts that may affect your shipments. Registrar Corp's FDA Compliance Monitor allows users to check whether their own company or their suppliers are subject to an FDA Import Alert. If so, Registrar Corp may be able to help you petition for removal. For assistance with FDA Import Alerts or other FDA regulations for candy manufacturers, contact Registrar Corp at +1-757-224-0177 or Live Help is available 24 hours a day at www.registrarcorp.com/livehelp.

Nephrologists have proposed probiotic treatment for chronic kidney diseases to prevent further damage to the kidneys.
Dr Pradeep Deshpande, senior nephrologist at Gandhi Hospital, said, "The food we eat is broken down into toxic compounds which are difficult for the kidney to filter. People with kidney problems find it difficult to deal with these toxins.
Hence, the kidneys have to work harder. Introducing probiotics with medicines can reduce the toxins." Drugs are unable to reduce the toxins created by food. Dr K.S. Nayak, senior nephrologist, Deccan Hospital, said, "Our concern is that it is very expensive. The cost must be worked out for the patient's benefit."
With the stress being put on saving organs due to scarcity of cadavers or living donors, doctors are looking at options that would help save the kidneys. Only 20 per cent of the patients are able to get kidney treatment and opt for transplant facilities.

Forest Animals Printable Card Game Go Fish
Create your own card game with these fun cute forest animals cards!
Part of the fun of game school is that we can be creative and make up our own games. I made these forest animals cards and we created our own game with them called Don't Wake the Bear. It's kinda like Old Maid but you with a bear. Okay maybe it's not super creative but it was a lot of fun. This is a match 4 set but you can make it a match 2 or how many you want to match easy.
Print, glue to cardstock or construction paper and laminate the cards. I cut the cards out first and then laminated them to the construction paper and cut a small edge around to keep the two pieces together. The ones that fell apart I used a glue stick to keep them together. Liquid glue causes issues with the ink and construction paper.
Game 1: Go Fish Match 4
- Deal out 6 cards to each player.
- Play Go Fish rules.
Game 2: Don't Wake The Bear
- Remove all but 1 bear card from the deck.
- Play like you would play Old Maid with the bear being the old maid card. Whoever has the bear at the end of the game woke up the bear.

It's the worst case scenario. Your house in on fire, and everyone is home. It's too big to put out, so your first priority is now getting out safely. Do you know what to do?
Get Out if You Can
Get up right away and try to get out. Do not waste time trying to collect items and belongings. You may have only a few precious seconds to escape. Things are replaceable, but you are not. If there are others in the room or house with you, call out their names to make sure they are awake and aware of the hazard.
As you are making your escape, keep these things in mind:
- Before opening a door, check to see if there is smoke coming out from under it or if the door and handle are very warm or hot. If either of these are true, do not open the door. Keep it closed and find another route.
- If there is smoke in the air, get as low as you can and keep your nose close to the floor. Smoke is poisonous and inhaling enough of it can knock you unconscious or kill you. Most deaths from home fires are not caused by burning but by smoke poisoning.
- Open only the doors that you need to and close the doors you can to slow the spread of the fire.
- If you are escaping with others, try to stay together.
Make sure you and your family are familiar with where fire escapes are (if you live in a high rise apartment) or your fire escape plans (if you live in a house).
Your Clothes Catch Fire
Maybe something lands on you as you're walking to the exit or you brush a little too close to some flames that surprised you. Your clothes catch fire.
As soon as you notice, you need to stop running or moving forward. Running around will only fan the flames and make it worse. Stop, drop, and roll. Flames burn upwards, so the longer you stay standing, the closer they get to your face and head. Lie down and roll around to try to smother the flames. If there is a heavy coat or blanket that you could drape over you, use it; that will help to smother the flames as well.
You're Trapped
All of your potential escape routes are blocked, and you can't get out.
Look around for any windows that you could potentially go through. We do not recommend going out any windows that are not on the ground floor. If you are on a higher floor, it's a better bet to try to slow the fire than to try to jump out of windows. On the ground floor, if you can open the window, try to go through it. If it's a bit of a jump, throw bedding or cushions onto the ground to break your fall. If you can't open the window, try breaking it with a heavy object. Aim for the bottom corner of the window. Cover jagged edges with clothes or blankets so that you don't scratch yourself when getting out.
If there are no windows that you can get out of, try to slow the progression of the fire. Close all the doors and stuff cushions, towels, and bedding at the bottom of the doors to block smoke. If you are on a higher floor and can open the window, do so and use it to get attention and call for help.
You Made it Out
Do a headcount to check that everyone who should be out is out. When the firefighters arrive, tell them if there is anyone missing. Do not go back into the house under any circumstances. Wait a safe distance away from the building for the fire to be put out. If you tell the firefighters that there is someone still inside, they will be able to find them and get to them much more quickly than you can. If you go back into the house, it gives firefighters another person to find, slows down their search for anyone else, and it puts your life in danger.
