It's important to note that raising your score is a bit like losing weight: It takes time and there is no quick fix. In fact, quick-fix efforts can backfire. The best advice is to manage credit responsibly over time.
High outstanding debt can affect a score.
This approach could backfire and actually lower score.
FICO® scores distinguish between a search for a single loan and a search for many new credit lines, in part by the length of time over which inquiries occur.
Don't open accounts just to have a better credit mix - it probably won't raise your score.
In general, having credit cards and installment loans (and paying timely payments) will raise your score. Someone with no credit cards, for example, tends to be higher risk than someone who has managed credit cards responsibly.

The function and survival of pancreatic β cells critically rely on complex electrical signaling systems composed of a series of ionic events, namely fluxes of K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Cl− across the β cell membranes. These electrical signaling systems not only sense events occurring in the extracellular space and intracellular milieu of pancreatic islet cells, but also control different β cell activities, most notably glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Three major ion fluxes including K+ efflux through ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, the voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channel-mediated Ca2+ influx and K+ efflux through voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels operate in the β cell. These ion fluxes set the resting membrane potential and the shape, rate and pattern of firing of action potentials under different metabolic conditions. The KATP channel-mediated K+ efflux determines the resting membrane potential and keeps the excitability of the β cell at low levels. Ca2+ influx through CaV1 channels, a major type of β cell CaV channels, causes the upstroke or depolarization phase of the action potential and regulates a wide range of β cell functions including the most elementary β cell function, insulin secretion. K+ efflux mediated by KV2.1 delayed rectifier K+ channels, a predominant form of β cell KV channels, brings about the downstroke or repolarization phase of the action potential, which acts as a brake for insulin secretion owing to shutting down the CaV channel-mediated Ca2+ entry. These three ion channel-mediated ion fluxes are the most important ionic events in β cell signaling. This review concisely discusses various ionic mechanisms in β cell signaling and highlights KATP channel-, CaV1 channel- and KV2.1 channel-mediated ion fluxes.

RELA, NF-kappaB p65 subunit, is involved in the transcription regulation of many genes including those genes involved in apoptosis, response to stress and inflammation.
RELA is a subunit of NFKB and is not essential for virus-stimulated IFNB expression, instead, RELA sustains autocrine IFNB signalling prior to infection. The absence of RELA causes significant delays in IFNB induction and consequently defective secondary antiviral gene expression. RELA maintains autocrine IFNB signalling in uninfected cells, facilitates inflammatory and adaptive immune responses following infection, and promotes infected cell survival during this process.
A RELA isoform, p43, lacks the transactivation domain but is still able to potentiate anti-viral innate immunity.
During the transcriptional response to Sendai virus infection, POLR2F(RNA Pol II) is recruited by IRF3 and NFÎºB to control virus induced gene activation.
Paramyxoviruses trigger the DNA-damage response, a pathway required for RPS6KA5 activation of phospho Ser 276 RELA formation to trigger the IRF7-DDX58 amplification loop necessary for mucosal interferon production.
Human papillomaviruses impair the acetylation of NFÎºB/RelA K310 in keratinocytes by augmenting the expression of interferon-related developmental regulator 1 (IFRD1) in an EGFR-dependent manner.
Haploinsufficiency of A20 (HA20) is caused by high-penetrance loss-of-function germline mutations in TNFAIP3 with increased degradation of NFKBIA, nuclear translocation of RELA, increased expression of NFÎºB mediated proinflammatory cytokines, and defective deubiquitinating activity.
MIR223 regulates macrophage function by modulating cytokine production and NF-ÎºB activation through inhibition of RELA phosphorylation and nuclear translocation.
Enterovirus 71 2C protein binds to RELA and IKBKB to inhibit NF-kB activation and evade innate immune defenses.
[Mus musculus] Rela is a subunit of NFKB and is not essential for virus-stimulated Ifnb expression, instead, Rela sustains autocrine Ifnb signaling prior to infection. The absence of Rela causes significant delays in Ifnb induction and consequently defective secondary antiviral gene expression. Rela maintains autocrine Ifnb signaling in uninfected cells, facilitates inflammatory and adaptive immune responses following infection, and promotes infected cell survival during this process.
[Mus musculus] Rela is critical for pulmonary host defense during Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia in alveolar macrophages. During pneumococcal pneumonia, only the earliest induction of cytokines depends on transcription regulated by Rela in myeloid cells, and this transcriptional activity contributes to effective immunity.
[Mus musculus] Rela is required for Il17a production in T cell in response to bacterial infection. Rela deficient T cells resulted in a diminished innate immune response to E. coli infection.
[Mus musculus] Tnfaip3 is regulated by both Nf-ÎºB and p38-dependent Cebpb in response to LPS in macrophages.
[Mus musculus] The noncanonical NFÎºB pathway regulates histone modifications at the Ifnb1 promoter resulting in attenuated recruitment of Rela and histone demethylase, Kdm4a, to the Ifnb1 promoter. This provides a mechanism for regulating the induction of type I interferons .
[Mus musculus] Lysophosphatidic acid plays an anti-inflammatory role in macrophages by diminishing lipopolysaccharide-induced phosphorylation of Mapk14 and Akt1, as well as Rela nuclear translocation.
Number of Interactions This gene and/or its encoded proteins are associated with 570 experimentally validated interaction(s) in this database.
They are also associated with 108 interaction(s) predicted by orthology.

After dropping out of high school at age 16 to become a tattoo artist, Kat Von D quickly became a TV star of the cable reality show Miami Ink. Already the queen of body modifications with ink, it’s not much of a jump for her to start having plastic surgery. Even though Kat Von D plastic surgery has never been confirmed, many famous plastic surgeons agree that there’s solid evidence that she’s had work done. Did Kat Von D have plastic surgery?
In July of 2005, Kat Von D made a big splash in the reality TV show Miami Ink, staying with the show for four seasons until she was asked to leave for personal reasons. Not being satisfied with leaving the business, she started her own spin-off show on TLC called LA Ink. The show premiered to 2.9 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched debuts in the history of reality television. Along with producing and starring in several reality shows, Kat Von D has continued her career as a tattoo artist and written several books about her experiences. Kat Von D cosmetic surgery stories have been following her through her entire career. All of the publicity she receives puts her in the spotlight every day, so for someone in her position body modification is a part of life.
Kat Von D started with a simple rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job. A nose job is one of the most common forms of plastic surgery and many celebrities have had a rhinoplasty procedure. Even though she denies it, you can tell she’s had some work done by the change in her nose’s width and size. This is something that you can’t do with makeup because the entire shape of the end of her nose has changed. Her entire nose has been remodeled to be slimmer and shift focus to the rest of her face and body. Her new nose looks great, but it’s much different looking than before.
Her plastic surgery doesn’t stop at a simple rhinoplasty. She’s been rumored to have breast implants ever since she was seen on LA Ink going in for a breast implant consultation. On the show, it was done as a joke, but the doctor wholeheartedly recommended the procedure and said that Kat Von D was a good candidate for breast enlargement. Even though she hasn’t confirmed or denied any of the breast implant rumors, photographs of the star clearly show a significant increase in size. One expert says that she went all they way from a B cup to a D cup overnight and it can only be attributed to plastic surgery.
Without having to look too closely, you can also see that Kat Von D has also had a few Botox treatments as well as a major facelift. Her brows have moved up her face almost an inch, as well as a tattoo starting on her left temple moving up towards her forehead. Along with that, her cheeks have been plumped a bit, and the skin has been pulled back to complement her cheekbones. Her plastic Surgery has been relatively subtle, but you can still tell that she has had a lot of work done. Fans and critics agree that even with all the body modification she’s just as beautiful and interesting as ever.

Apple has made an unprecedented move and announced it is relaxing the rules for applications on the App Store.
In a statement, the computing giant announced that it is "relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code.
"This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need."
Apple has always been a tad cloudy on what it will or won't allow on the App Store, so this is a move that will please developers looking to get their applications on to the iPhone.
It also means that third-party developer tools for iOS apps will be allowed - which is a huge turnaround for Apple.
"We have listened to our developers and taken much of their feedback to heart," Apple explained in its statement.
"Based on their input, today we are making some important changes to our iOS Developer Program licence."
It continued: "For the first time we are publishing the App Store Review Guidelines to help developers understand how we review submitted apps.
"We hope it will make us more transparent and help our developers create even more successful apps for the App Store."
There's no word on when the review guidelines will be published, but this is an important step for Apple and shows the company is listening to the myriad devs who have contributed to the App Store – which currently houses over 250,000 apps.

Filkins is a New York Times correspondent and this collection of reports follows the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, touches upon the 9/11 attack in New York City, and then moves on to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The bulk of these stories feature reports he wrote while stationed in Baghdad from 2003 through 2005. In the early sections, the stories are not presented chronologically, jumping from one conflict to another in no particular order. The pieces are interesting but the lack of continuity is disorienting. Once he turns his attention to the chaos of the civil war that erupted after the American invasion of Iraq, this style of presentation is quite effective. His focus for the most part is not on the battlefield; rather, he concentrates on the people caught in the war’s crossfire, combatants and innocents alike. Filkins is clearly fearless, and compassionate too, better still he is brutally honest in reporting the ongoing conflict. He does not shy away from the evil and disregard of human life that he observes in the unfolding civil war. Even so, he highlights the kindness and compassion that occurs despite the bloody campaign of terror turning neighbor against neighbor. A thoughtful observer, Filkins takes the reader outside the Green Zone into the homes of locals simply trying to stay alive during a time of chaos. More often than not, even as bombs exploded all around them, they offer him a cup of tea as an act of hospitality. These stories present the human side of the Iraq war in a heartbreaking fashion.
The Other centers around two unlikely friends coming of age in Seattle: John William Barry, born into wealth, and Neil Countryman, from the blue-collar side of the tracks. The bond that joins them when they meet in 1972 at a track meet is their competiveness and a love of the great outdoors. This leads them to explore Washington’s remote backcountry. It is there they learn how to survive harsh conditions, relying on their wits and each other. After getting lost and suffering near starvation on one such outing, they become blood brothers, swearing to always be there for each other. But during their college years, Neil sets out on a path that leads him toward a life as a teacher and devoted family man, while John William drops out of school and society itself, moving deep into the woods where he shuns all the trappings of the modern world. As his best, and only friend, Neil is enlisted in helping John Williams “disappear.” This act, which will later lead to tragedy, entangles him in a web of secrets he must keep as his friend slowly goes “mad” living for years as a hermit. This novel is a story of youthful idealism and the compromises that adulthood brings. How a shared vision can lead to different ends, influenced by upbringing and brain chemistry. Guterson is the author of Snow Falling on Cedar and East Of The Mountains, both excellent works of fiction. He does not disappoint in this though provoking novel of friendship and what it means to live an honest life.
The nine stories in this collection deal with twentieth century women attempting to master the complexities of life. While a few of the stories focus on a specific moment in time, most follow a character across generations or an entire lifetime. This allows the reader to have a better understanding of what motivates and drives the women portrayed. None of the stories disappoint but Delicate Edible Birds truly stands out. Among a group of war correspondents fleeing Hitler’s advancing army in 1940 France, a lone, high-spirited woman reporter learns the high price she must pay for trying to be “one of the boys.” The theme that runs throughout is on woman’s struggle to achieve inner strength or personal freedom. Groff is an excellent writer and these stories will resonate with many. My problem with collections such as this is the stories tend to blend together, so few stick in one’s memory. But at least in the case of this book, the stories are captivating while being read.
Driving is something most of us do on a daily basis without giving it much thought. The automobile has long played a major part in American life; we define ourselves by what we drive and how we do so. But there is more going on behind the wheel than even the most experienced driver knows. In this well-researched book, Vanderbilt is not just writing about road safety, he is showing how our minds work and how we interact with each other while hurtling down the roadway. It is a complex subject where physical, psychological, and technical factors intersect. The conclusions presented here are based on numerous studies and will surprise many. He shows why most of us are worse drivers than we care to admit. Safety protections often cause people to be less attentive (and thus less safe). While roundabouts feel dangerous and chaotic to the average American, they are much safer than intersections and help to reduce congestion to boot. Speed and fatigue are the two biggest contributing factors to fatal crashes, but the inherent risks of human nature also play a big part. As Vanderbilt points out, since the 1960s less than 5,000 people have been killed by terrorism in this country. In contrast, each year the number of people killed in car crashes in the United States tops 40,000. Although we find it acceptable to sacrifice civil liberties to curtail the threat of terrorism, there is strong resistance to traffic measures designed to reduce traffic fatalities. This book should be required reading for anyone who drives a car. Even the most seasoned driver will benefit for taking it out for a spin. Thankfully, while educational, Vanderbilt makes sure it is also an entertaining ride.

Autosuggestion is a mindfulness technique to aid the healing process from pain. It’s very easy to implement so you can start controlling your thoughts with positive intention towards relieving pain.
Autosuggestion uses repetition of a mantra or affirmation to focus the mind on healing through the process of brain neuroplasticity – a fancy term that means the brain can rewire itself. Emile Coué was a French pharmacist and psychologist who mastered the art of mindfulness, and helped thousands of people master and control their thoughts’ and minds’ to heal chronic pain and other conditions.1 He learned about these skills from a pioneer and father of hypnotherapy, Dr. Liebeault, during the late 1800s in Nancy, France. He witnessed firsthand the power of suggestion experienced during hypnosis and how it transformed many people’s lives and improved their health. He expanded this knowledge, developing his own conscious suggestion technique known as autosuggestion.
He explained that the past is gone and there is no point in focusing upon it. He also explained that the future is in your hands and what you do in the present moment changes everything. Neuroscience now shows imagination can help people help reduce or stop pain with repetitive thought patterns to lead the body forward towards better health.
Autosuggestion is an simple technique for those interested in learning how the brain responds to conscious repetitive statements towards health. Autosuggestion is complementary to other mindfulness techniques like meditation, expressive writing, praying and laughing to grow their brain neuronal network towards healing from pain.
Emile Coué wrote an amazing book in 1922, entitled, “Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion.” The recent edition in 2016 accounts Coué’s record of case histories describing how people healed through his technique of reciting the mantra, “Every day in every way I am getting better and better.” It’s worth a read if you are interested in learning more about this technique.

Detailing the physical features, habits, territorial reach and other identifying qualities of the Oriental Cockroach.
An affinity for moisture helps direct the infamous Oriental Cockroach into human habitats.
Found in all three countries of North America, the Oriental Cockroach is not originally from the continent. Despite the common name, it may not even originally come from Asia either. Regardless of its origin, it has established itself as one of a handful of pest cockroach species. Its ordinary habitat is woodland leaf litter and other moist areas, but its innate attraction to water and moisture has led the species to more developed areas. Because of its affinity for wet terrain, it is also called a Waterbug. Populations of Oriental Cockroaches commonly infiltrate sewer systems and pipelines, crawling on pipes and entering homes, offices, and other buildings through small openings, like those around pipes. They seek shelter in crawlspaces, cellars, and basements where high humidity is often normal. Once inside, they explore for food sources and sometimes hide in sink and tub drain holes. Their sudden emergence from drains terrifies the best of us. They tolerate dry areas well enough to also hide under furniture, behind radiators, and in dark closets. This adaptability makes them a serious nuisance indoors. This is also the type of cockroach seen scurrying out from under outside containers, like garbage cans.
The average lifespan of an Oriental Cockroach is about 18 months. They mature the first year, molting many times until they become winged adults. Long-winged males and the short-winged females cannot actually fly though. After mating, dark, tubular egg sacs the size of Tic-Tacs called ootheca are wedged in cracks, crevices, and other hiding places to increase the chances of offspring survival. Each brown capsule can carry over a dozen tiny eggs. Both nymphs and adults feed on pretty much anything, even filth and sewage, but they are especially fond of starchy items like crumbs, cereal, cookies, and most foods stored in pantries or cupboards.
Infestations are difficult to control and may require multiple treatments, possibly from a professional. Finding and destroying egg capsules in tiny cracks is hard, even with spray insecticide, so it is reasonable to think complete eradication from a home or building may require months of applications to reduce the living adult population and then the younger, newly born nymphs. There are some things one can do to make it harder for Oriental Cockroaches to enter a building in the first place: seal gaps in door and window trim, as well as gaps around any incoming pipes. Use an appropriate insecticide to spray around the exterior and interior of the building. Fix water leaks, even small ones, to help keep areas dry and less attractive.
Chances are, however, if you are reading this, they have already found a way in. If they have infiltrated the premises, still consider making it harder for more to come in by plugging exterior gaps. Cockroach bait (i.e. 'roach motels') can poison adults and nymphs. Insecticidal sprays created just for cockroaches can help reduce their presence in sprayed areas. The destruction of ootheca is necessary to prevent reoccurring population booms, so look for and destroy any dark brown capsules hiding in corners, cracks in the floor or walls, and even in drains. Drain caps will prevent hiding adults or hatching nymphs from scaring people when water is turned on. Fortunately, this species of cockroach is a slow mover compared to others. This may be a small comfort in the event of an infestation, but it also means slippers and shoes are useful tools for reducing the population. If the situation seems beyond control, call in the professionals.

socialImedian is the latest project from Jobster founder Jason Goldberg. Currently in private beta, it's a bookmarking tool, similar to Twine, that aggregates information around various News Groups that cover any topic under the sun. socialImedian has sent over a few thousand invites for Mashable readers. Click here to register for an account, and type in "Mashable" for the beta invite code.
When you first start out, you can easily search for News Groups to join up with, or create one of your own. To make things easier, as with all good social bookmarking tools, social(median has a browser plugin for easy clipping as you surf the web.
The bookmarking tool is pretty basic: title, URL, and description. There's not even an option for designating which News Group you'd like to add a particular item to while bookmarking URLs. socialImedian is still very much in its beginning stages, however, so new features are sure to come about as the team continues to build out its feature set, and work from user feedback.
What I do like about socialImedian is its ability to enable clipping from other users' sources, directly from the socialImedian site. While the continuous search and discovery tools aren't completely circular within the network, this particular feature helps users better explore and utilize the site's user-collected data. Once you've interacted with the site on these levels, socialImedian will then deliver custom news to you. For every News Group, you can indicate what delivery schedule you'd like.
The concept is of course not new by any stretch of the imagination, and I think that the space is more than ready for an open approach for importing and sharing bookmarks across such networks. Beyond this, I think that with so much development going on in the mobile sphere, the space is also ready for better abilities to "bookmark" the non-digital life for digital purposes, and leveraging that for social purposes as well. Evernote is doing some exploration towards this end, but I'm pretty interested in seeing how such bookmarkin tools can be further utilized for personal purposes.

They were never intended to be a money-making proposition, and should not be converted into one.
Zinke has suggested fees charged to enter some parks should be increased substantially. New funding is needed to address the National Park Service’s $11 billion maintenance backlog, he explains.
In testimony before a congressional committee, Zinke noted that an annual pass allowing admittance to all parks costs just $80 a year. Senior citizens can get lifetime passes for that much.
That certainly is true — for those who have $80 to spare. Some people don’t.
Zinke’s idea is that one-time admission to popular parks, such as Yellowstone and Grand Canyon, should cost as much as $70 per vehicle. Presumably, he thinks the annual and senior citizen passes should be priced higher, too.
To some extent, fees are a good idea to help maintain parks. It makes sense that people who use certain public facilities should bear more of the cost of keeping them in good condition.
There needs to be a limit, however. Our parks were intended to be places of recreation, relaxation and education for all Americans. Pricing them out of reach of some should be rejected.
Perhaps Zinke needs to stop and reflect that not everyone can afford to drop $80 on an evening of entertainment at the theater.

European businessmen are showing serious interest in business projects in the Crimea, Russian Deputy Economic Development Minister Alexei Likhachev said.
"In the most surprising way the subject of Crimea is actively being heard: European business in a range of countries is demonstrating considerable interest in Crimean engineering transport, communal infrastructure, tourism, port logistics and in the region as a whole, in which there has not been serious attention before now," Likhachev told the press this week before a meeting Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's with Russian trade representatives abroad.
Russia will create the necessary conditions for doing business in Crimea, spending money on infrastructure. "Therefore, Crimea is a new appealing subject in our dialogue with European business. Everybody understands that Russian authorities will pay special attention to Crimea, particular care will be taken and that means investments are more secure, it means co-financing from the state will be found, which immediately increases business interest considerably," he said.
Crimea will now become the subject of a separate conversation with Europe and not just European business, the deputy minister reckons.

Great things, Thou hast done, O Lord, my God. I would name them and proclaim them, but they are more than I can tell. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
A couple of weeks ago, this sermon basically wrote itself, I just didn’t know it at the time. Its not that I put pen to paper…or in this electronic age, digits to keys…but every insight I have on this morning’s Gospel lesson was gleaned from a family meal up at Bucks Lake.
And my answer was simple: I let him watch TV!
And that it the main point I would like to make about our Gospel lesson this morning, we need to be watching more television, or at least emulate children’s TV.
Ok. This is pretty common stuff. The disciples, once again, are described as being a little dense and timid. Nothing really new there.
Now, I could give a whole sermon on how the disciples mistake Grace for a meritocracy. They were called by Christ, through no accomplishment of their own. And certainly, they can’t be heralded as the most capable lot of disciples, because again and again they fail to understand what Jesus is actually teaching them. But here they are, boasting in their status as one of Christ’s disciples, trying to determine which one of them is the greatest.
Now, a lot of preachers will talk about a child’s innocence as the key to understanding Jesus’ allegory. Maybe, but I want to suggest a different childlike quality was what Jesus actually meant to highlight.
Children are inquisitive little creatures. They want to understand the world around them and to know how things work. I have spent the last two years explaining why the sky is blue, where planets come from, why Disneyland is shaped like spokes on a wheel, why moss grows on the north side of the tree, and other of life’s mysteries to Abby and John. And I am absolutely and completely convinced that this is the quality that Jesus wants in his disciples.
What is so maddening to me is the fact that, not only do the disciples fail to understand Jesus’ teaching about his suffering, death, and resurrection, but they’re also too afraid to ask Jesus any questions about it!
Can you imagine how valuable, how absolutely priceless it would be to hear Jesus explain why the Messiah has to suffer death? To have Jesus explain the relationship between suffering and faith. To describe that teaching as illuminating would be a grotesque understatement. If we had, in Jesus’ own words, a teaching which once and for all said God values service and sacrifice more than strength and power—that alone would be enough to bring the light the world with our hope in Christ.
But we’re never given that opportunity. And as maddening as the disciples’ failure to understand or even ask questions with the hope of understanding may sound to us, how often are we guilty of precisely the same thing? How often are we afraid to ask a question because we think we should know the answer, or because we’re afraid our question is stupid, or even because we’re afraid of the answer?
After all, if knowledge is power, then ignorance is weakness.
How did John learn to use the word “nocturnal” properly and in context? Well, I’m not ashamed to admit that he learned it from TV. He loves this PBS program Wild Kratts, whose narrative is driven by asking questions. Why does the cowbird lay its eggs in another bird species’ nest? Why do owls hunt at night? What’s it called when an animal is active at night and sleeps during the day?
And so, if we are to grow in faith, we need to start asking questions, too.
And that is the good news this morning: All we need to do to is to watch more kid’s TV.
Now, I have folded a lot of laundry in front of our television, so I am somewhat of an expert on the subject of children’s television, and what our best kid’s show value more than anything is curiosity. They honor the sacred act of asking questions. That’s how people learn: they ask questions. They assert that there is a greater cost in not asking than in not knowing.
Here we are, some 2000 years later. Trying to understand the nature of Jesus’ predictions of his own suffering and death. We are trying to comprehend our place in society. We are surrounded by a materialistic world which preaches that our value lies in what we have, not in what we give. That power is best demonstrated by how many people serve us, rather than by how many we serve. We Christians are a strange bunch, and if we want to stand as Christ’s disciples, then we better be pretty sure we understand what kind of ministry he was calling us towards.
And the only way we discover that is in asking questions.
In his Gospel, Mark loves to link fear and faith. But I also think that Mark also links fear with ignorance. We don’t know, so we don’t act. Ignorance becomes indecision. But, there are those in Mark’s gospel who have learned the truth about this Jesus the Christ. And what they have learned about his mission, about his ability to heal, about the coming kingdom he heralds, leads directly into inspired action. They have learned who this person is and what he represents, and they go off into the world proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ.
Why does Jesus want us to understand that we should welcome him as a child does? Well, the innocence and trust that children exemplify are certainly part of it, but more and more I think that Christ wants us to come to him with our questions. He wants our questions about everything. Why bad things happen to good people? Why does evil exists? How long until we can relegate war to our history? What does God want with us? What does God want for us?
If we approach Jesus like this, as a child unafraid of learning, it is then that we can learn about the nature of God and creation and salvation. But we won’t learn those lessons squabbling about who among us is the greatest, and we certainly won’t learn them if we are too afraid to ask the big questions.
We have to ask. And we shall be answered.

What is the Nascar Survivor Pool?
The idea of this pool is based off of the NFL Survivor Pool, where you try to correctly pick the winner of one game each week, but you can only pick each team one time. In the Nascar Survivor Pool you will be picking one driver each week, and you can only pick a particular driver one time.
This races counted toward this pool are the 36 points races. If you find this pool idea late, you can start at any race during the season. The grid above has enough space for 10 participants. If you plan on having more in your pool simply print multiple copies. The gray boxes across the top row are where the participant names are to be placed. Each week the participants are to submit their driver pick to the pool administrator. It is at the admin's discretion as to when the picks must be submitted. There are basically two ways: You can allow them to wait until after the qualifying rounds are complete, or you can request all picks be submitted before the qualifying rounds start. Simple write the driver's name or car number under the participant's name and in the corresponding race number.
The scoring is simple, points are awarded in reverse order of the finish. If the driver chosen gets first place, the participant will be awarded 43 points. If the driver chosen gets last place, they are awarded 1 point. Below is a full point chart. Write each player's points for that week beside the driver name/car number. After the last race simply add up all of the points and write the points in the row labeled total, the person with the highest total wins.

I’ve always been drawn to matters of the heart and the amazing connection that exists when you bring family together. Before my career as a wedding photographer, I was a cardiology nurse. I worked with patients intimately and incorporated their families into the treatment and healing process. It was a beautiful time in my life because I was so intertwined with patients as they went through something profound. What I love about documenting a wedding day is that I also work so closely with couples, and with their family. I am able to witness and participate in an event that will forever be remembered and celebrated. It is truly an honor and a privilege to have that close connection to those I’m photographing.

CHARLESTON, S.C., Dec 11 (Reuters) - A Christian university in South Carolina discouraged some students who reported being sexually assaulted as children or on campus from going to the police and made them feel they were responsible for the abuse, a report released on Thursday said.
Bob Jones University's attitude over nearly four decades toward student reports of sexual abuse or assault was "blaming and disparaging," according to nearly 62 percent of survivors who took a confidential survey as part of an independent investigation commissioned by the university.
In an apology to victims, university President Steve Pettit said the school had changed its practices in recent years to "make it clear the biblical lesson of forgiveness does not imply that the victim is in any way responsible for the sexual assault or abuse they experienced."
One person who replied to the survey said students were told "that a woman who was raped or sexually abused brought it on herself." Another victim who reported being abused by a grandfather said Bob Jones University staff asked: "Did your body respond favorably? If it did, then you need to repent."
The university said on Thursday that an appointed committee would review the findings and make changes as needed "to better reflect our values and show victims the love of Jesus Christ."

Isadore Nadel came to Oklahoma in 1919 to open a grocery store and join his extended family. He began investing in shallow oil in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1935, Herb Gussman, Nadel’s son-in-law, joined the company. Gussman would later go on to lead one of the largest oil producing companies in both Osage, Oklahoma and Kansas and make significant contributions to the modern oil industry and community in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Stephen Heyman and Jim Adelson joined the leadership team in 1965 and 1986, respectively, and still guide Nadel and Gussman today. Under their leadership, Nadel and Gussman grew aggressively into other basins in the United States.
Today, we are primarily focused on operated and non-operated opportunities that require horizontal drilling and completion technology in both conventional and unconventional plays. We have projects across the United States, including Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota, New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana.

This is an awesome series, with a huge collection of other material to investigate. I am excited to see the next post.
Absolute must read for testers. In fact, I am posting links to this series on our internal testing forum today.
Awesome, just so freaking awesome! Looking forward to reading this series.
Great blog, and am looking forward to reading the next installment.
Let me start with saying that I like your post. It rightly links the broader field of science to testing. There’s only one thing I can add. Why not expand this to the whole of software development. Isn’t it about time that not only testing is taken out of the exact science corner and to apply this to software development as a whole. Who can keep insisting that development is the same as engineering. Granted developers stil need to apply logic and consider technical /physical constraints to some extent. Even so development is mainly about providing solutions for user problems in such a way that they value and appreciate the solution. And nowadays developers do that by applying knowledge, information and interaction to one of the programming languages and not by steering electric current through wires or resistors. So let’s start and look at software as the result of applied natural and social science and use the knowledge base of both.
Thanks for mentioning my blog entry. I think that particular addition was based on a chat I had with Michael Bolton. I don’t think I originally came up with it, but more that Michael and probably also James already came up with it.

In a key speech delivered in May 1989 to AIPAC, US Secretary of State James Baker III placed the blame on Israel for the Arab-Israel conflict, and seemed to echo Arab propaganda, urging Israeli leaders to abandon the “unrealistic vision of a Greater Israel” that includes the West Bank and Gaza Strip. He then laid out the American position on what is now called the Arab-Israeli peace process. He urged self-government for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza in a manner acceptable to Palestinians, Israel, and Jordan, a formula designed to provide ample scope for Palestinians to achieve their full political rights while also providing ample protection for Israel’s security. This utopian vision has failed to materialize.
Following up on Israel's Four Point Plan of May 1989 in September 1989, Egypt and Israel discussed several peace proposals that foundered over the issue of participation by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). At that time, it was the firm policy of Israel not to deal with the PLO, believing that 1988 PLO statements about a change of policy toward Israel were not sincere. In an attempt to help break the deadlock, the US became more actively involved. On November 1, 1989, US Secretary of State Baker formally submitted his Five-Point Election Plan to Israel and Egypt, although they had reviewed drafts beforehand. It was based on Israel's Four Point Plan of May 1989 and did not go into detail. It was intended as a framework under which Egypt would facilitate bringing Palestinian Arabs (but not the PLO) into a process of discussion about elections to establish proper representation for the Palestinians, and potentially other issues. Israel agreed in principle in November but attached two reservations: that the PLO not be involved in the naming of Palestinian delegates and that the discussions be limited to preparations for the elections. The Israel National Unity government fell in March 1990 in a vote of no confidence precipitated by disagreement over the government's response to the Baker initiative. Prime Minister Shamir formed a new government in June 1990 and rejected the Baker Plan. Baker attempted to work with Shamir who continued to reject Baker's five point plan, even after most of the Israeli demands had been accepted. Shamir's government took the view that the plan was too risky and the US was willing to sacrifice Israel and the Jewish people for their own interests. Frustrated by this process, Baker sarcastically provided the White House telephone number suggesting that Shamir call when he was "serious about peace". Baker's reputation was as a deal maker, and an artful mediator. However, he is known as more pro-Arab than pro-Israel and has been quoted as making anti-Semitic remarks.

Far too many people are unsatisfied in their romantic relationships. They change partners--hoping for a different outcome--only to find themselves dissatisfied all over again. As Paulo Coehlo once wrote, "Every time we repeat the same mistake, the price goes up."
In this presentation, I unearth the secrets to finding a productive and happy romantic relationship. We cover: (1) why relationships are integral to lifelong happiness and success, (2) the biggest mistakes that sabotage your chance at a productive romance, and (3) the small, proactive behavioral shifts that produce big results. Marrying personal experience with professional acumen, my presentation is warm, engaging and funny. One recent attendee wrote, "I'm only giving you a 10 because I can't give you a 100--you were just that good."
Using love lost as a catalyst to a brighter, better you.
Over 50% of marriages end in divorce. After traumatic betrayal and loss, many people find themselves devastated and stuck in grief and anger--unable to face the future with optimism and hope. I believe that heartbreak is the first step to a new beginning. In this course, I cover: (1) the science behind why heartbreak hurts, (2) how to grieve productively and learn from your mistakes (to avoid repeating them), and (3) why forgiveness is integral to attract new love. This presentation is a powerful step for people who yearn to unleash their most vibrant and authentic self.

Below is an essay on "Child Abuse" from Anti Essays, your source for research papers, essays, and term paper examples.
Child abuse is an American epidemic. In 2005, more than 3.5 million children were reported as victims of child abuse or neglect. The staggering truth is that before today is over, four children will DIE because their little bodies cannot bear any more abuse.
While the rate of deaths from abuse has been decreasing, it is still far too high! 80% of these losses were children age 4 or younger. Infants under one year of age are the most common fatalities.
Children age 3 and younger are consistently the most victimized group.
62% of pregnant and parenting teens were raped, molested, or sexually assaulted prior to their first pregnancy.
and 30% more likely to commit a violent crime as an adult.
In 2005, African-American children, American Indian or Alaska Native children, and Pacific Islander children had the highest rates of victimization. White and Hispanic children had the next highest rates, and Asian children had the lowest rate.

Had a reader request the users manual for her 2004 Sunnybrook.
I wrote Sunnybrook and they graciously supplied it to me ( Thanks Sunnybrook ).
Here is the manual for the 2004-2005 Sunnybrook Fifth Wheel Travel Trailer Owner Manual.
( Click on the link if you are unsure what to do ).
I just bought a 2005 Puma 5th wheel 253 FBS and need a owners manual/wiring/plumbing layout.
Dennis – let me see what I can find. Our Puma’s manual was pretty sketchy on details like a plumbing layout so you might want to set your expectations low!
I have confirmed with Forest River that the only manual available is the owners manual that you can find on Palomino’s site OR here ( http://rv52.wpengine.com/rv-users-manual-information-palomino-puma-users-manual/ ). I’m sending this to your email too just in case you don’t get followups from the site.
My dad passed away in June. He had a beautiful 2008 Mobile Scout 5th wheel trailer, 35′ with 3 slide outs. This RV now belongs to me. I have searched everywhere and can not find an owners manual. I can’t find any manuals for this RV. I called the dealer (found the information on the title) and was told ‘we have nothing like that,’ Without any type of manual i have no idea how to put out and then retract the slideouts, where the propane is, you get the picture i hope, creek and paddle come to mind. any suggestions on obtaining a manual??
In general, RV MFG users manuals are TERRIBLE. My guess is that even if you find the right one (and I’ll look around for you too) is that you’ll be terribly disappointed and still won’t get your answers.
I’ve broken them between interior and exterior. Someday, in amongst my infinite and copious time, I’ll join them together to make a users manual that hopefully fills in the gaps.
But I think any RV users manual will be about the same. So I wouldn’t put too much stock on the manual, especially one that is specific. The MFG just don’t put that much effort into the manuals.
Hope this helps and I’ll look around a bit for you.
thank you so much for your reply I really do appreciate it. I’ll be looking at your ebookd tonight.
I have a 36ft 5th wheel sunny brook titan 2005 and my dryer will turn on and with nothing in it it will get extremely hot,but if you put wet clothes in to,it will hold a lot of moisture and will not dry the clothes,i can not find a filter to clean.please any help?
I wonder if the dryer hose is plugged?
Trying g to find a owners manual for 2006 Sunnybrook Sunsst Creek travel trailer that has a slide out.
Linda – what exactly are you trying to find? Here is why I ask. RV owner’s manuals are amazingly vague. They write a very generic manual that can cover most of their models. If a person’s perspective is that an RV is more like a car and would have a users manual like CAR companies make – I believe that is the wrong perspective. An RV owners manual is more like the owner’s manual to a house (u r lucky to get something like this). Why? Because RV manufacturing is much, much more like a home builder process and mentality than a car mfg thought process.
Take the internal appliances/features – In a car, almost every feature is unique and created by the car company – or for the car company per the car company’s detailed specification. In an RV, the features are generally purchased from a supplier catalog and not created custom for the particular RV (Airstream might be slightly different). That means that the manual is expected to come from the supplier, not the RV company. So the BEST strategy is to collect the manuals from each supplier item in your RV – then you have a really accurate manual “set”.
Then the only thing that would be nice to know is the exact routing/location of water, electric and other things. But I’ve rarely seen very good documentation on that subject.
So, you’ll typically be disappointed with the manual. The info in there is general and more about satisfying the requirements of shunting liability rather than being a great owners manual.
I agree about the lack of specifics in Sunnybrook RV manuals. I have a 2004 (I think) Sunnybrook Titan m-28RLKS that was purchased used by my father. It has many features that are different than are described in the Sunnybrook 2004-2005 manual. I am lucky, however, to have most of the appliance manuals. But information about the electric and water systems is lacking. For example, my electric “box” is located on the floor instead of an upper cabinet and has some very different components. I called Winnabego, now the owner of Sunnybrook, and was told that they did not get manuals for the earlier trailers. So it seems to be up to new owners to figure out what’s in each trailer and how it works.
I am looking for an owners manual for a 2007 Sunny Brooke Brookside 31′ travel trailer. Do you know where I can get that?
We have a 2004 Sunnybrook Titan fifth wheel triple axle, we had a blow out on the right side and torn off the fender skirt, we can’t find anyone that has one in stock or will make one, need to get fender skirt replaced soon.
Amazon had a really good selection here ( https://amzn.to/2nEAa6X ). Did any of them look like they would fit? You might need to get a pair if you want them matching. Most of them at least put the dimensions on so maybe you could find a match? Most of the low ratings seem to be about cost, but $250 for a pair of fenders that have a low volume of sales seems fair to me. Did they seem to be in stock? Maybe you just have to put the order in and wait? I’d be very interested to hear about your experience.
Those blow-outs are super scary. I’m glad a fender is all that got hurt.
Did you call Sunnybrook (Forest River) to see what they had?

Will Apple Finally Part Ways With Samsung?
According to an HSBC report, Apple is finally moving on from its biggest competitor in a way that would benefit Taiwan Semiconductor.
It's always been a strange relationship between Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung (NASDAQOTH:SSNLF). On one hand, these two companies compete among high-level devices including tablets and smartphones. However, Apple depends upon Samsung as a supplier to fabricate the heart of its devices -- Cupertino's signature A-line series of chips. In a recent HSBC research note, analysts Steven Pelayo and Lionel Lin estimate that Samsung produces 60%-70% of Apple's current-gen A9 chip.
More recently, however, Apple has been looking to divest itself from Samsung's clutches. Starting with the A8 chip, Apple decided to use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSM) as the lead fab. Later iPhone teardowns found Samsung providing up to 40% of fabrication. In the current A9 chip, this dual-sourcing strategy continued.
But that's not the biggest news from HSBC's report: It appears Apple has finally decided it's time to make the jump to Taiwan Semiconductor as its only source of fabrication for its next-gen A10 chip. If true, this could be a big win for TSMC at the expense of Samsung's future revenue and profit drivers.
For Samsung, this would serve as both a tangible loss and a symbolic one. As for the former, in its third-quarter earnings report, Samsung reported its first year-on-year operating profit increase in the past seven quarters. The reason for this reversal was not the company's smartphone line, but rather its semiconductor business, which increased a massive 62% over last year's result, contributing nearly 50% to Samsung's total operating profit.
Going forward, Samsung specifically noted 14-nanometer foundry growth, in reference to the fabrication node it manufactures Apple's A9 chip on, as a source of future earnings improvement. And while Apple should still contribute to Samsung's operating profit in the short term, this would hurt Samsung's year-on-year comparisons when this revenue and profit no longer show up on Samsung's income statement.
In addition, the symbolic blow could affect Samsung's 14-nm business. Earlier reports were that iPhones equipped with Samsung's A9 chip were prone to overheating with noticeably worse battery life. And while Apple later rebutted the reports, stating that the battery-life variance was only 2%-3%, moving away from Samsung amid quality reports has the potential to scare other smartphone makers away from Samsung, much as the company itself did to Qualcomm after reports that its previous-gen Snapdragon 810 flagship chip was prone to overheating.
Whether it's Apple's desire not to depend upon its main competitor, poor performance from Samsung-fabbed A9 chips, or seeming superior next-gen technology (see below), this would be a huge win for TSMC. Right now, Apple contributes more than 14% to TSMC's top line, with forecasts that the company will contribute $3.7 billion in the nearly completed fiscal 2015 versus companywide revenue estimates of $26.24 billion.
According to the report, TSMC is working with Apple to introduce integrated fan-out packaging, a breakthrough that will lead to thinner and lighter chips. As a result of this new technology, and it reportedly winning the full production, forecasts are that TSMC will increase its Apple-related revenue next year 24% to $4.6 billion. If so, this is a big win for TSMC at the expense of Samsung.

>> sure who to ask these days, either.
> Hmm. I guess technically HP owns it now?
You're probably thinking of XX2247 LLC, which apparently is the successor to Mentec.  But I remember some discussion about what Mentec actually owned vs. what DEC/Compaq/HP retained.  Or maybe I'm mixed up with the company that now works on VMS.

Audiobook review of Play that Funky Music White Koi | Books, Movies, Reviews. Oh my!
This contemporary cozy mystery has it all, from the local doomsday prepper to an out of control pet monkey, a mother who would drive a saint to drink, and of course a dead body in the Koi pond.
Lemon Layne isn’t looking to get into any more murder mysteries but then Cappie comes to her house and they discover a dead body in her Koi pond. Of course, Cappie who is the fun loving conspiracy theorist sees that she has two punctures in her neck, starts speaking of vampires!! You just got to love Cappie!
Lemon really doesn’t want to get involved but when someone dies in your Koi pond how could you not be curious and want to find out what happened. She can’t help it if people talk to her and she finds out all about Amy from her friends and they were into alternative medicines, etc.
I am getting to where I enjoy Hollie Jackson more and more with each read. She does a good job with this series.

CHINA - As one of the busiest ports in China and the only land port in the country that conducts 24-hour clearance, customs staff at Huanggang Port watch about 24,000 vehicles traveling back and forth between Hong Kong and Shenzhen through its 18 passes every day.
Like the other 16 ports in the booming southern city of Shenzhen, Huanggang customs is at the very frontline of the country's anti-smuggling battle.
Lai Jinbiao, a customs police officer who has worked at the port for 10 years, said customs staff face enormous pressure every day to fight smuggling.
"The peak time is from 10 am to 7 pm, and on average I examine 200 to 300 cargo trucks a day amid exhaust gas and dust," he said.
"Our biggest concern is letting smuggled products slip through our hands."
Lai said smugglers usually mix target products in normal cargos.
Electronic devices such as iPhones, seafood and precious fur products are the most popular for smugglers.
Wang Zhi, deputy director of the Shenzhen Customs District, said the fight against smuggling is particularly serious in Shenzhen because of its proximity to Hong Kong, an international free port.
The two cities share a land border, and the closest distance between the two coastlines takes only five minutes to cover by speedboat.
"Because of the proximity, smugglers can use all means, including digging tunnels and setting up cableways in the sky, to transport products," said Wang, who is also head of the anti-smuggling bureau of the Shenzhen customs.
Meanwhile, Shenzhen boasts convenient transportation to facilitate the distribution of smuggled products - another factor that puts the city at the frontline of anti-smuggling efforts.
An average of 570,000 people and 42,000 vehicles travel between Shenzhen and Hong Kong every day. And every year, more than half of the seized smuggled products in China, in terms of value, come from customs in Shenzhen, Wang said.
Electronic goods like cell phones and digital cameras, and luxury goods like watches, are preferred for smuggling because they have a high value and are easy to carry.
Raw materials such as rare earth and food are commonly found in export smuggling, Wang said.
He said customs officials have adopted a number of measures to fight smuggling, such as tightening cooperation with their counterparts in other parts of China, particularly Hong Kong.
Shenzhen has set up a risk-management platform, which connects with all other customs in the country.
The platform carries information on all major smuggling cases other customs have handled, including the key suspects and vehicles involved, Wang said.
"We have a blacklist, and keep a close watch on these people and their lives," he said.
"It's also important to watch the companies these people register. Many smugglers have registered companies both on the mainland or in Hong Kong or even abroad for the convenience of money laundering."
Shenzhen customs, Hong Kong customs and Hong Kong marine police have also been working closely together.
They exchange information and organise regular meetings, and cooperate in big cases, especially in drug anti-smuggling actions, Wang said.
Thanks to the efforts, customs in Shenzhen had cracked 291 smuggling crimes involving 1.48 billion yuan (S$290,000) from January to October this year, according to official figures.
Of these cases, 31 are categorized as very serious, each involving a value of more than 10 million yuan.
In one case, uncovered in early November, customs staff in Shenzhen seized thousands of bullets and many gun parts.
Inspectors found 1,000 pellets for air guns from the luggage of a Hong Kong resident on Nov 1.
After questioning, the man confessed that he has buyers on the mainland.
With the information he offered, anti-smuggling police went to Guangzhou and Guiyang cities, and seized four suspects, 29 guns, 2,200 pellets, 4,000 bullets and many gun parts, according to information provided by the Shenzhen Customs District.
Despite the achievements, Wang said that there is no end in the fight against smuggling.
Wang said that in the future, customs staff will continue to keep a close watch on cases that can do huge harm to society, including the smuggling of drugs and weapons.
Garbage from abroad such as poisonous electronic waste and medical waste that smugglers try to bring into the mainland and sell in the name of "recycling" are also major targets of the crackdown.
However, customs police said it's difficult to stop all smuggled products at the border.
"At present, suspicious products, detected through intelligence gathering or risk management analysis, will be stopped to receive an X-ray inspection," said Chen Haibin, an anti-smuggling policeman at Dapeng Port under the Shenzhen Customs District.
"But only about 5 per cent of the total cargo is checked, so it's inevitable some smuggled goods can go through," he said.
"Sometimes it's really difficult to strike a balance between maintaining customs clearance efficiency and fighting smuggling."
