OHS hopes to change Tennesseans’ perceptions about emergency preparedness and explain what it truly means to be Ready. Preparedness goes beyond fire alarms, smoke detectors, dead-bolt locks and extra food in the pantry. Being Ready includes: getting an emergency supply kit; making a family emergency plan; being informed about emergencies and their appropriate responses; and getting involved in community efforts such as Citizen Corps. By following the simple, yet necessary, steps, you’ll make sure you and your loved ones are ready for emergencies.

UNDERSTANDING NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING
In the early 1970s, John Grinder, an assistant professor of linguistics at the University of Cali-fornia in Santa Cruz, and Richard Bandler, a student of psychology, identified patterns used by successful therapists. They packaged them in a way that could be passed on to others through a model now known as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP.3Neuro-Linguistic Programming embraces three simple concepts. First, the neuro part of NLP recognizes the fundamental idea that all human behavior originates from neurological processes, which include seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling. In essence, people experience the world through their senses. Second, they communicate their experiences verbally, through language;4 therefore, the linguistic part of NLP refers to this use of language to communicate thoughts. Finally, the programming aspect of NLP recognizes that individuals choose to organize their ideas and actions to produce results. Each person also decides how to organize these ideas in a specific manner.
Dr. Michael Persinger NeuroAnatomist believes that the human brain has a weakness in the temporal lobe—the region responsible for making decisions. This weakness can make us all vulnerable to the influence of others.

Birds in the US were threatened by hunting for sport as well as for the fashion industry. Pressure from shooting enthusiasts was intense. Great auks, for example, whose habit of crowding together on rocks and beaches made them especially easy to hunt, had been driven to extinction early in the century. During one week in the spring of 1897, nature author Florence Merriam claimed to have seen 2,600 robins for sale in one market stall in Washington alone. By the turn of the century, the sale of bird flesh was never greater. The second equally great threat to the bird population was the desire for their plumage. In the late 1890s the American Ornithologists' Union estimated that five million birds were killed annually for the fashion market. In the final quarter of the 19th century, plumes, and even whole birds, decorated the hair, hats, and dresses of women.

The Trail of Tears Documentation Act (H.R. 5335) calls for the inclusion of two primary westward trails-the Benge and Bell routes, as well as water routes thru the Tennessee and Arkansas Rivers and the so-called “round up routes” from Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama which the Cherokee were sought out, gathered and subsequently marched to numerous holding camps where the prisoners awaited their forced journey by foot, horseback, boat and wagon to the new “Indian Territory.”
