5 Principles That Will Revolutionize the Way You Study the Bible/
Bible literacy is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart (which you may have already picked up on if you hang around here a bit).
I talk a whole lot about what Bible literacy is, why it's so important, and how we can get there in my book, His Word Alone: A call to put down your Bible studies and pick up your Bible. Let me know what you think! I would honestly love to hear from you.
It is my fervent desire that all Christians would come to know and love God's Word. The reason I am so passionate about the serious, intentional, and individual study of the Bible by Christians is because His Word is the very means through which the Lord has claimed my heart and transformed my life.
His Word has met me right where I was at the time, no matter where or when. His Word has relentlessly pursued me through the hard work of marriage, the endless delights and difficulties of raising small children, every insecurity and uncertainty a thirty-something-stay-at-home-mom could muster, and all the other ups, downs, ins, and outs of everyday life. There is no pain to which God's Word does not speak, no joy that it does not birth.
And perhaps the most beautiful thing of all these is this: When we commit ourselves to the reading and studying of His Word, God Himself meets us there. I know this to be true.
But I also understand that setting out to study the Bible on your own can be intimidating.
So, I'm here to help.
In my last post, I gave some tips on how to begin reading and understanding the Bible, including 5 questions you can use to guide yourself through any book, chapter, or segment of Scripture. In today's post, I'm going to tell you 5 things I wish I had known about the Bible before I even began studying it. These 5 principles will change the way you approach Bible study by widening your viewpoint of God's Word and correctly orienting you to it. So let's get to it.
Principle #1: The Bible is a book about God.
Ok, granted, this may seem obvious, but hear me out on this one. This one truth, more than any other Bible study tip I have ever received, absolutely revolutionized my understanding of the Bible.
When we study the Bible, it's important that we keep the point of the Bible at the center of our study, and the point of the Bible is God Himself. Because God is the point of the Bible, everything in the Bible points to Him. Every book, every story, every character, every event - they all reveal information to us regarding the nature and character of God. As you read, you can keep this in mind by continually asking yourself questions like these:
What does this book, chapter, event, character tell us about God?
How does God reveal to us who He is through this account?
What do I learn about God's unchanging nature through this story?
The Bible is the primary tool through which God reveals Himself to us, which makes God-centered Bible study one of the most powerful means through which we draw near to him. Keeping the above questions in mind as you study the Bible will help you keep the point of the Bible at the center of your study. It will help you remember that the Bible is first and foremost, a book about God.
Principle #2: The Bible is not a book about you.
Point #2 is a necessary corollary of Point #1. If God is the main point of the Bible, then that must mean that you and I are NOT the main point of the Bible. That means that the Bible is not about us. It's about Him. However, many of us learned to read the Bible as if it really is all about us. Think about how often questions such as these run through your mind as you approach Bible study:
How is this information going to help me?
Improve my relationships?
Help me steward my resources?
Shape the way I make decisions?
I'm not saying that these are bad questions to ask. But they mustn't be the primary questions we ask. The only "me" question that is of primary importance in Bible study is, "What does this information reveal to me about my God." This is because the Gospel is not about who you are, but about who He is.
A good rule of thumb for Bible study is this; the "He" has to come before the "me."
We will learn a lot about who we are as individuals, as well as human nature in general, through Bible study. However, that is not why we study the Bible.
We study the Bible to learn about God. Only after we nail down what a particular book/verse/character reveals to us about God, will we then ask ourselves, "In light of what this passage reveals to us about God, what do we learn about the nature of people in general or me in particular?"
Principle #3: The Bible tells one big story.
The Bible tells the most amazing story of all-time. The point of the entire Bible is to tell this one story. Even though the Bible is composed of 66 different books, written by over 40 different people (the majority of whom never knew each other), during a period of over 1600 years, the theme of this one story is unmistakable and there is one consistent message from God to man.
Having a correct understanding of the grand-scale Biblical narrative is crucial to a proper understanding of each individual character, book, story, and event in the Bible. We have to study each portion of the Bible in light of the bigger story in which it is embedded.
Principle #4: The Bible is about real people.
Coming to understand this principle absolutely brought the Bible to life for me.
The stories we read in the Bible are true stories that happened to real people.
These stories reveal to us information about an actual, living God.
Although I certainly didn't recognize it at the time, for so long I read the Bible as if it were some sort of fable or fairy tale; a book full of principles for how to live and what kind of person I should be. This, however, is not the heart of the Bible. The heart of the Bible is that we would come to know God through our reading of it. And God chooses to reveal to us who He is through the stories of His people. His real people. And their true stories.
As we read the Bible with this in mind we come to see that the people in the Bible are not so different from you and I, and their stories bear a striking resemblance to our stories. As we come to know them and their stories, we better recognize God in ours.
Principle #5: The Bible is a supernatural book.
Although written by human hands, the words of the Bible are divinely inspired, with authorship of the book ultimately being attributed to God Himself. Because of this, the Bible is no ordinary book and we cannot fully understand it through ordinary means. That means the we are dependent on the Holy Spirit in our study of God's Word.
We use the minds God gave us to study, explore, and press into God's Word, and then we wholly depend on the Spirit to lead us to trust it, accept it and walk in it.
So there you have it. The 5 principles that have revolutionized the way I study the Bible. I hope you find them helpful as you seek to meet God through His Word. If you have a Bible study tip that's changed the way that you study, I'd love to hear it! Comment below and let's learn from each other as we press into God's Word.

Nissan - Famous For Cars Like The Famous 2005 Nissan Maxima - Is Currently Getting Engaged In Electric Cars
Nissan has produced an extensive range of popular cars and trucks, initially for domestic consumption but exported all around the world since the 1950s. When Nissan created such champions as the 2005 Nissan Maxima and also Titan trucks, competitors came up with a hybrid car in to add to their offerings. Nissan has by no means had much interest in becoming a major force in the hybrid car market. What precisely they have developed and intend to dominate with is an electric car. Nissan decided to go with a car that is 100% electric. That''s ideal, no gas, no tailpipe - 100% electric powered.
Nissan introduced electric cars in Europe during 2010 with completely different business models in different countries. Nissan Motor Company has nearly completed development of a lithium-ion battery making use of a lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide cathode (NMC). The brand new system, that will reportedly provide almost two times the potential of Nissan/AESC''s current manganese spinel cell. Nissan declares the car has a range of 100 miles, but one expert has indicated 70 is most likely more reasonable given the actual size of the pack. So far as range, this really is no opposition to traditional Nissan cars such as the 2005 Nissan Maxima, but for an electric car it is impressive. Nissan was able to fill the ground with 660 pounds of Lithium-Ion modules much like those seen in cell phone and laptops. Nissan has additionally announced its partnership with the NEC Corporation to make newest-generation lithium-ion batteries. Nissan expects the battery to keep 70 to 80% of its capacity for 8 years however they don''t guarantee it. They are surely offering an 8 years or 100''000 miles warranty for the battery.
The brand new Nissan Leaf is expected to be promoted in North America as is the 2005 Nissan Maxima as well as other Nissan standards, but also Europe, and Japan, beginning in late 2010. Nissan has announced it will manufacture the new Leaf compact electric powered car at its Sunderland plant in the UK. The annual production capacity will be 50,000 cars at Sunderland. The Nissan LEAF has met with excellent reviews and has even garnered the 2011 World Car of the Year Award.

Last update: 2004-09-28. The latest version of this
article can be found at
GERMAN: Die deutsche Version dieses Artikels steht unter http://www.installsite.de/go/gdiplus.htm
You've probably already heard about the critical security vulnerability that Microsoft has discovered in their GDI+ library. (If you haven't, you should immediately read the JPEG Processing (GDI+) Security Update bulletin.) The first exploits surfaced only a few days after the bulletin had been released.
While most articles about this topic describe which actions you should take as a user of Microsoft products, this article will focus on the implications this vulnerability has for software developers, particularly in setup programs.
Note: You may be redistributing GDIPLUS.DLL without being aware of it. Many development tools have an option to automatically include required runtime files in your setup. In case of Windows Installer (MSI) tools this is usually accomplished by adding the gdiplus.msm merge module to your setup. Therefore it may not be immediately obvious to you that GDIPLUS.DLL is included in your setup.
In order to exploit the vulnerability, a specially crafted JPEG image would have to be displayed by the GDI+ library. This could be an image on a web site or in an e-mail, or from any other source. If your application displays images from untrusted sources, which includes user supplied photographs or a user selectable logo for instance, your software poses a critical risk for your customer's computer. Any processing of JPEG using GDI+ in your application could expose the vulnerability. On the other hand if you use GDI+ only to display hard coded images that are built into your application and cannot be replaced by the user, the risk is comparatively low.
In this section I'll introduce several scenarios. Once you have identified the scenario that applies to you, a description of the actions I'd recommend to you can be found in the next section.
First of all you need to update the redistributables on your development and build machines. If your application uses GDI+ in a vulnarable way, e.g. you display JPEG files from untrusted sources, you need to create an update for your application and send it to your customers as soon as possible. If your application uses GDI+ in a less vulnerable way, you should include the new GDIPLUS.DLL in your next regular update.
The .NET Framework redistributable versions 1.0 SP2 and 1.1 without SP are both affected by this vulnerability. You should update the .NET Framework redistributables on your development and build machines to version 1.0 SP3 and/or 1.1 SP1. If your application is using GDI+ in a vulnerable way, you should also send the appropriate .NET Framework service pack to your existing customers, or advise them to install the service packs using Windows Update. Although Windows Update automatically offers the .NET Service Packs as "high priority" updates there are users who have disabled Windows Update, or companies that are blocking automatic updates until they are approved by their IT administrators. Therefore you may want to notify your customers that they are at risk and encourage them to install the update.
Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server include gdiplus.dll out of the box. If you only target these platforms and therefore don't need to redistribute the DLL, Windows Update should take care of the issue. However there are users who have disabled Windows Update, or companies that are blocking automatic updates until they are approved by their IT administrators. If your application uses GDI+ in a vulnarable way, e.g. you display JPEG files from untrusted sources, you may want to notify your customers that they are at risk and encourage them to install the update.
You're in luck - this time. You should update the redistributable files on your development machine anyway. And you should prepare a method to inform your customers should the need arise in a similar situation in the future.
Whatever action you take: act quickly. Only three days after the vulnerability has been published the first images are available on the web that crash Internet Explorer by causing a buffer overrun. They don't seem to include malicous code yet, but that won't take long I suppose.
If you are using Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003 you should download and install the appropriate patch from Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028. This will update the gdiplus.msm merge module for use in Visual Studio's Deployment projects.
If you are redistributing the GDIPLUS.DLL by itself you can download the GDI+ Platform SDK Redistributable from Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028. This package only includes the GDIPLUS.DLL, but not an updated merge module.
If you are using an earlier version of Visual Studio, or don't have Visual Studio at all, there is currently no way to obtain the updated gdiplus.msm merge module from Microsoft. However InstallShield X includes Microsoft merge modules such as gdiplus.msm, and InstallShield has made the fixed gdiplus.msm file available for download from their merge module gallery.
The GDI+ vulnerability is fixed in the recently released service packs for the .NET Framework. These service packs are:
The redistributable install packages for .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1 do not have the service pack built in. This means that you need to install the respective service pack in addition to the .NET Framework base package.
InstallShield X has built in functionality to install the .NET Framework if needed and plans to add support for the latest service packs. Alternatively you can find sample code to detect .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1 and service packs in Aaron Stebner's WebLog. (Aaron works at Microsoft, creating the setup for Visual Studio). The service packs and all other .NET Framework redistributables can be downloaded from the Microsoft .NET Developer Center.
Rebuilding your application and setup with the fixed version of GDIPLUS.DLL is only the first step. You also need to send that updated version to your customers. One option is auto-updating applications, e.g. using the Updater Application Block. But this doesn't work well for applications that have been installed using a Windows Installer (MSI) setup. In this case you should create a small or minor update, either as a Windows Installer Patch (.msp file) or as a full MSI Package (.msi file).
If your application is vulnerable to the GDI+ security issue your should inform your customers proactively to make sure they install your application updates or the .NET Framework service pack in a timely fashion. One way would be to send e-mail to your customers. The problem with this approach is that you may not have the e-mail addresses of the persons who actually use your software, or your e-mail address database is out of date, or your e-mail could end up in the spam bin.
InstallShield X
In my opinion a better solution are update notification services which can notify your users that an update for your application is available or advise them to install the .NET Framework service packs. InstallShield X includes such a service at no additional cost. InstallShield Update Service polls a web site for updates on a regular basis. If you are using InstallShield X you may already ship the update notification client without being aware of it, as this option is turned on by default. In this case all you need to do is go to the configuration web site and publish a notification.
Even if you are not affected by the GDI+ problem I would recommend including an update notification client with your setup to be prepared for similar emergencies in the future. To emphasize this here's a quote from industry expert and book author Mike Gunderloy in ADTmag:
"I expect quite a few application vendors are going to be spending time in the near future devising ways to notify their customers that it's time to install a security patch, even though Windows Update won't necessarily inform them that this is the case. If you're one of them, you have my sympathies."
You can avoid such headaches by preparing for situations like this. With InstallShield X you can add the Update Service client to your setup with a single click, and there are no extra costs to be prepared for emergencies.

Certain SlingBoxes have the a built in IR sensor that allows it to learn the IR remote control codes from a physcial remote control. You'll be able to save the remote profile to your Sling Account and upload it to your Slingboxes for use in your Slingplayer program Sling Media has created a beta website that you use to learn remote codes. (http://betaremotes.slingbox.com)
Slingbox compatible modelsEdit
- Pro
- Solo
- Pro-HD
Sling Account Edit
- with Admin access to the respective Slingbox
Operating SystemsEdit
- Windows XP
- Vista
Web BrowserEdit
- Internet Explorer 7
- Internet Explorer 8
- Firefox 3
Web Slingplayer Plug-in*Edit
- Version 188.8.131.52 or higher
- Some of the files have been moved around but the javascripts haven't been updated to reflect those changes. If you have a problem downloading the plug-in from the betaremote website, then you'll need to download the current Web Slingplayer Plug-in from (http://watch.slingbox.com) prior to using to the Betaremote website.
In order to use the Betaremote website, you'll need to log into your Sling Account. If you've connected to the website without logging into your Sling Account then you'll be redirected to "accounts.sling.com"
Get StartedEdit
This is the front page of the Betaremote site. There's nothing much to do here except to click "Get Started" button to begin the process.
Choose DeviceEdit
The next page from the Betaremote title page is the Slingbox selection from your Slingbox Directory. If you have multiple Slingboxes then you should choose the one closest to you. This is important since there is a short time-out period which you can teach the remote codes. Running back and forth really isn't an option. If your computer isn't next to your Slingbox, then it would be a good idea to either use a laptop or a wireless input device so you can interact with the website while being next to your Slingbox.
Add / Select a RemoteEdit
This is the main control panel for Betaremotes. Here you'll have four basic options.
- Back: Returns to the previous page
- Import Remote: Import Remote Control Panel
- Create Remote: Remote Learning Tool
- Pre-existing learned remote profile(s)*: Configuration and export options
The top row of pre-existing remotes will not show up until you created at least one learned remote profile. If you have already created remote profiles, or imported them into your Sling Account then allow a minute for them to appear. It takes time for the Web Slingplayer plug-in to parse through the available remotes. Also, if you share a Slingbox with seperate Sling Accounts, you will only be able to see the remotes associated with each specific account.
Remote Learning Tool Edit
The remote learning tool is a configuration wizard which can be broken down into five steps.
Defining the remote profile is the easiest step of the process. It affects how the remote appears in Pre-Existing Remote Profile.
At this screen, there are four settings to define the profile.
- Device Type
- DVD Player (14 buttons)
- VCR (41 buttons)
- DVR (41 buttons)
- Satellite (31 buttons)
- DVD Recorder (14 buttons)
- Cable Box (31 buttons)
- Manufacturer: Manufacturer of the Set-top Box.
- Model Name: Model of the Set-top box.
- Remote Nickname: Name of the Remote Profile.
The device type selection will determine the total number of buttons which the Remote Learning Wizard will walk you through. Don't worry if the configuration wizard skips any buttons that you want to program. You can enable the greyed out buttons during the testing process then teach them during the reprogramming step.
There will be an embossed arrow on the bottom left-hand corner of the Slingbox which will indicate the "general" vicinity the remote will need to be pointed. You'll probably need to adjust the distance and angle as your teaching the first few keys. Despite the instructions, you may have to hold the remote against the Slingbox, a few inches away, or somewhere in between. It may take quite a few attempts before you find the right position for a consistant read.
As you're teaching each button, it will be outlined in yellow and toggle to green when its complete. You will have about 5 seconds for it to "see" a signal otherwise it will timeout. The mouse pointer will change a few seconds after it recognizes an IR signal and may take another 5 to 10 seconds to learn the code. This is why its a good idea to perform it with a laptop next to the Slingbox or have someone help with the process.

During the process, you'll have three options, continue, skip, and retry. While you're teaching the Slingbox, you will be promted with the button that's next. Pressing "Continue" will start the learning process. Opting to "Skip" the button will grey out the button and move to the next button. If the learning process times out or fails then you'll also have the option to "Retry" until it is successful.

Once you've gone through systematic number of buttons then you'll be prompted to test the buttons.
During the testing phase, you're not confined to a rigid path as you were with the teaching process. You can hop around a bit. When you initally come to this step, you will see two types of buttons on the remote; enabled and disabled. The disabled buttons will look greyed out, whereas the enabled buttons are more vibrant.
Pressing on an enabled button will mark the button blue and initiate the IR commands to be sent through the Slingbox. This will be followed by a dialog box asking whether the key worked or if you want to disable the button. At this point, if you select "Yes" then the button is marked with a green outline to signify that it has been tested. Selecting "No" will outline the button with yellow which allows you to queue the keys to be reprogrammed later. Finally "Disable" will grey out the button.
Pushing a disabled button will pop-up a message specifying whether or not you want to program it. Marking "Yes" within the dialog box will mark the button with a yellow outline. It will then be included with the other buttons marked yellow when you elect to reprogram them. If you select "No" to this dialog then the button will remain disabled.
Once you've finished testing the buttons, you can press "(re)Program" to go through the process of refreshing the buttons which have been marked yellow. It's always a good idea to test the buttons and reprogram them if necessary that way you don't have to spend time going back and forth.
If you're comfortable that you've completed the process, you can skip the reprogramming by selecting "I'm Finished" at anytime during the testing phase. This will forward you into the uploading the remote to your Slingbox. However, regardless of the color outlines around the buttons, any buttons marked disabled will not be accessible. Also, you'll be able to push any buttons that were enabled whether or not they actually work.
The process of reprogramming is the exactly the same as teaching, except you only have to reprogram the buttons which were marked with a yellow outline during the previous phase. Once you've completed this process you are sent back into testing.
At this point, all that is necessary is to pick the video source, select continue, and wait for the upload to complete.
Three selections for input:
- Composite
- S-Video
- Component
"ANT - External box (cable box, satellite reciever, DVR, etc.)" is not currently a valid selection
That's it. You've completed the Remote learning process. The remote skin that's associated with this profile is SlingCustomRemote and looks slightly different than the one seen here.
Pre-existing learned remoteEdit
This is the control for a specific pre-existing remote. Here are your options.
- Back - go back to the previous screen
- Delete - deletes this remote
- Edit - reconfigures this remote
- Save to File - exports this remote profile into an "myRemote.lrz" file.
This option will remove the respective remote from Slingbox's profile that associated with your account.
The process of editing is the exactly the same as reprogramming, where you can enable greyed out buttons or remark active buttons with a yellow outline in order to change them. Once you've queued which buttons you'd like to change then click [(r)eProgram] to begin the teaching process. Once you've completed reprogramming you are sent back into testing, and finally uploading when you're finished.
Save to FileEdit
Opting to save the select file, will export the learned profile into a LRZ file. If your operating system has User Access Control (UAC) enabled. You should make sure to save it to a directory where you have write permissions. Note there's no browse button, so you'll need to specify the full directory path and filename if you need to change it from the default location.
Import RemoteEdit
Importing a LRZ file will upload the specified remote profile onto your account tied to the Slingbox. There is no browse button, so you'll need to specify the full directory path and filename if you need to change it from the default location. Please note it can take up to a minute for the new profile to appear into your account. If it doesn't show up then check the next section about sharing remote profiles.
Sharing Remote ProfilesEdit
Saving the LRZ file is helpful to share the remote profile to different Slingboxes. However, we've noticed that sharing LRZ between user accounts isn't reliable. This archive format has been nicknamed SlingMedia Compressed Binary (SMCB). Which was taken from the magic numbers within the file header. It is unuseable by any other programs than Sling Media's tools.
Instead of sharing the LRZ file, it is more effective to share the learntremote's guid. This information can be used with the JP1 tools in order to create remote update BIN files for the Slingbox. These BIN files are much more portable and will benefit more people.
The logfile is called, "WebSlingPlayer.txt" and can be found in the following locations.
- Vista "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Sling Media\WebSlingPlayer\"
- XP "C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Sling Media\WebSlingPlayer\"
Seach for pattern "guid=" within the web slingplayer logfile to for the remote guid. The learntremote guid will be a 36 digit identification with letters, numbers, and four dashes. Once found, look for the previous occurrance of the guid string, which should be part of a complete URL. Cut and paste this URL into a new browser window and suffix .xml onto the end and bring up the page. Once the page is loaded, use File > Save Page As to save a local copy. When saving the page, please ensure that the local copy also has the .xml suffix.

Trump Appointees: Read, Remember, and Take Action
April 14, 2017
Filed under Opinions
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
President Donald Trump is assembling an administration, and the individuals he chooses will have important and enormous power over the federal government. Individual political views aside, American citizens tend to be uninformed about and uninterested in these nominees, despite their importance. The Panther Press has assembled a detailed, but by no means comprehensive, list, focusing on the most important posts being filled. Consider taking a moment today, six months from now, and a year from now in order to check on their accomplishments, failures, or mistakes. Civic engagement does not end with voting.
Rex Tillerson has been confirmed as Secretary of State. He is the former chief executive of Exxon Mobile. He was awarded the Russian Order of Friendship by Russian leader Vladimir Putin in 2013. His stance on climate change is difficult to gauge- he has said that the impact of climate change could be catastrophic, but he has also worked for an oil company for 41 years (BBC, Dec 13 2016). Pennsylvania's Senator Pat Toomey voted for Mr. Tillerson, while Senator Bob Casey voted against.
Next, James Mattis has been chosen for Secretary of Defense. Mattis will be the first Secretary of Defense who is also a former general since 1950. Congress needed to waive a requirement that he wait seven years after active military duty to take the position (Boston Globe, Dec 5 2016).
Steve Mnuchin has been chosen as Secretary of the Treasury. He is described as an "entrepreneur, a Wall Street investor and a Hollywood producer," and has worked for Goldman Sachs and a few other major banks (NY Times, Nov 30 2016). He has not exhibited any interest in public policy or politics prior to now. He served as the Trump campaign's national finance chairman, and is reputedly a good boss and worker (Politico, Nov 29 2016). The Senate has confirmed has appointment. Jeff Sessions has been confirmed as Attorney General. He has called the Obama administration's position on immigration "breathtaking" and its refusal to block gay marriage "shameful." He "will most likely push for wholesale changes and hard-line stances on immigration, terrorism, crime, drugs and guns. Democrats fear he could wipe away progress in civil rights, changes in sentencing and police accountability" (NYT, Nov 18 2016). Mr. Sessions will almost certainly not be able to roll back marijuana legalization, although he opposes it strongly (CNBC Dec 9). More importantly, Mr. Sessions has a controversial record on civil rights: "The last time Sessions faced a confirmation vote, in 1986, his nomination was voted down by the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee after they were confronted by Sessions' extensive history of racist comments and actions… Sessions referred to the NAACP and other civil rights organizations as un-American groups that "forced civil rights down the throats of people." He was accused of using his authority as a U.S. attorney to disrupt and prosecute civil rights activists who were registering African-Americans to vote. He also reportedly said he thought the KKK was "OK" until he found out its members smoked pot."- US News and World Report, Dec 7 2016
Wilbur Ross has been chosen as Secretary of Commerce. Ross has worked in "distressed investing", referring to finding companies which are on the verge of bankruptcy or severely financially distressed, then buying their assets or stock, which are available at a discounted price because the company is desperate. Ross invested in Trump's casino business in this capacity (WSJ, Dec 27 2016). The commerce secretary traditionally does not do much, although the Wall Street Journal predicts (or hopes) that this is a genius move by Trump. According to the Journal, Ross will use his skills to invest in collapsing foreign companies around the world, which would fit Trump's isolationist views. Ross, while advising Cyprus' banking sector prior to his selection by Trump, called Brexit a "god-given opportunity" for Cyprus, Ireland, and Scotland to steal trade from the UK (CNBC, Dec 27 2016).
Tom Price will be Secretary of Health and Human Services. Price has vowed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. His proposal does focus on providing more financial and regulatory aid for higher-income Americans buying health insurance. Additionally, he believes that Medicare should be replaced by a voucher system (which essentially means privatizing Medicare which, again, may be extremely harmful for low-income recipients) and objects to government funding of Planned Parenthood (Canadian Broadcasting Channel, Nov 30 2016). The Senate has confirmed his appointment.
Ben Carson has been chosen to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development. A few days before the announcement, a close friend said that "Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience. He's never run a federal agency." (NPR, Dec 5 2016). That same friend was interviewed on NPR and asked what qualifies Dr. Carson, a former neurosurgeon, to run HUD. He said "his life." Dr. Carson did live in subsidized housing while growing up, but he has not since going to college, and has never been involved in housing or real estate professionally.
Rick Perry has been chosen to head the Department of Energy. In 2012, as a Republican candidate for president, Perry "could not recall the name of the third federal agency he vowed to eliminate as president while speaking on a primary debate stage. It was none other than the Energy Department that he will now lead, and the gaffe became known primarily for the word with which he ended his live misery: 'Oops'" (CNN, Dec 14 2016). Ironically, Perry actively used government involvement in the energy sector to pump money into Texas' oil industry as Governor of the state. Perry has been a director of the company building the Dakota Access Pipeline since 2015. There will need to be a Senate confirmation.
Betsy DeVos has been confirmed as Education Secretary, by a 50-50 Senate tie which Vice President Mike Pence broke. She is independently wealthy, and has spent millions of dollars pushing to expand educational voucher programs in Michigan, her home state, and beyond over the past few years (Washington Post, Nov 23 2016). The voucher programs which DeVos helped to create in Michigan are widely considered to be a severe failure, and to have significantly harmed the education of students, particularly low-income students, in school districts where the voucher system was used (Washington Post).
As one of Trump's advisors, Stephen Bannon will be Trump's chief strategist. He previously ran Breitbart News, infamous for articles which are racist, homophobic, misogynist, transphobic, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, xenophobic, etc (Washington Post, Nov 15 2016). Glenn Beck calls Bannon a "nightmare" and compared him to Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist (Washington Post). Some journalists have pointed out that Bannon rarely makes explicitly bigoted statements, but he helped to build Breitbart News. Whether or not Bannon genuinely believes the ideas Breitbart and Trump spread, he has enabled, promoted, and helped to create both of them. Mr. Bannon is now a member of the White House National Security Council due to an Executive Order signed by President Trump. Trump reportedly did not know that the order included language on Mr. Bannon or that he was adding Mr. Bannon to the council (New York Times, Feb 5).
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has stepped down as Trump's national security adviser. He has tweeted that "Fear of Muslims is RATIONAL" (Vox, Nov 21 2016). Vox summarized the last few years of Flynn's career, saying that Flynn "was fired from his last job in the military, sat next to Russian President Vladimir Putin after giving a paid speech in Moscow, called for Hillary Clinton to be imprisoned, and said Obama was a 'liar' with no plan for defeating ISIS." Recently he appeared at a paid series of events in Moscow (Washington Post, Nov 18 2016). He has been replaced by the far less controversial General H.R. McMaster, who is well-respected in Washington, but differs from President Trump in his positions on many key issues, including how the US should approach dealings with Russia and how to combat radical Islamist terrorism (Reuters, Feb 22).
Reince Priebus will be Trump's Chief of Staff. Trump called him a "superstar" during his victory speech. Priebus helped to lead the GOP "autopsy" of the 2012 election, which recommended that the party move in exactly the opposite direction that Trump has (NPR, Nov 14 2016). For appointments not made yet, Guardian, Politico, and the Washington Post all have appointment trackers, and I strongly urge you to use them; the individuals Trump chooses will be able to make decisions in relative privacy, and are extremely difficult to remove once they've been confirmed or formally appointed. Paying attention and staying involved now is the best way to ensure that your views impact the way in which the country is managed.

Dental Diagnostic Tools
The days when the doctor's eyes and an explorer were the only diagnostic tools to be found in a dental operatory are fading ever farther into the industry's rearview mirror. Alongside the ever advancing field of digital imaging, dentists today have a large selection of diagnostic tools and systems to choose from. These systems can help clinicians spot caries and decay, screen for possibly cancerous oral lesions and even examine a patient's saliva to determine their risk for periodontal issues and other diseases.

Aaaand I'm back, having been run over by a reindeer named either "Stomach Virus" or "Food Poisoning". I'm not sure which is to blame, but after four days subsisting on toast, ginger ale and equally unpalatable reruns of Married...With Children, I'll never again be eating any food described as 'Jumbo' nor anything that a menu upsells with the phrase 'bigger than your head'.
So the Days of Fail continue and will run through the end of the year rather than stopping at Christmas because it's more than fitting that even chronicling my failures is littered with...failure. Anyway, today's installment is about one of last summer's painful attempts at conjuring a personal life. Sadly, my longest relationship in 2008 was with my plantar wart, The New Boyfriend running in second place by six months and two cartons of Compound W.
Day 3: The Pick Up Artist
Note: Originally published in 2oSB Blog Swap (6/08)
Last Monday* was my friend's birthday which meant that I invited several people over, made poorly mixed drinks, served store-bought spinach dip and a variety of toothpick pierced treats–because everything from melon to McNugget tastes better with a splinter of wood jammed through its center–and hoped no one would notice that I'd already licked the salt from most of the pretzels. When my sad little plates of crappetizers were gone, we decided to walk down the street to the kind of restaurant that doesn't mind a party crowd, especially since I frequently see a member of the staff fishing some shitfaced customer out of their koi pond.
We had to wait for a table and took turns staring at the couples slowly picking the crust from their salmon steaks, debating whether they were more likely to speed things up if we gave them pitiful, practiced "Man in the Mirror" expressions or if we just glared, with the facial equivalent of a Harrumph when they stopped chewing long enough to steal a sip of sweet tea.
While were waiting, a guy walked in and signed his name to the waiting list, circling the single digit he left on the notepad to draw extra felt-tipped attention to the fact that he was a party of one. He had an outfit straight from the Jeff Spicoli Starter Kit–a tight Ocean Pacific tee, well-worn khaki cutoffs, and a couple of days worth of stubble. He was mid-to-late thirties and incredibly hot, wearing biceps that said "I could pull a tree stump out with my hands" and a slightly bewildered expression that responded "But I never learned to read".
My friend A and I started talking to him in that drunken sort of way where you ask a question and immediately respond by giggling and twisting your hair into tiny spikes. He was just in town for a few days, he said. We expressed delight because WE LIVE HERE! IN THIS TOWN! WHERE YOU ARE! He said he'd just stopped in for a burger and a beer, a revelation that made A squeal and me yank my hair into a style last seen on Sonic the Hedgehog because WE WERE EATING AND DRINKING THERE TOO! THIS IS SO GREAT! HOLY SHIT! He laughed cautiously, keeping one hand on the handle of the door and a fishbowl full of business cards between us.
Someone called for our party–mangling the mess of consonants I call a last name–and guided us to a table safely away from the other patrons. We quickly settled in and within a single inning of the Braves game flickering silently on Fox Sports South, we'd had enough beverages to start referring to the waitress as 'Special Angel'. Spicoli had been seated at the bar, but he would occasionally turn around to cast a sidelong glance to our table, either because he was interested or because he's never heard someone use the phrase "ballsack" that loudly in a dinner conversation.
As other customers grabbed their things, leaving after swapping a tip for an Andes mint, it was pretty obvious that Spicoli was hanging around for us. Or– I liked to think–for me, even though every time he would look at us, I'd give him a jazz hands-y wave, fluttering my fingers like windchimes before burying my face in my bowl, listening to my laughter echo off the porcelain.
The next time I looked up, he brushed the side of his face, a gentle gesture that meant 'you have sundried tomato stuck to your skin.'
When Special Angel started stacking the chairs upside down on the tables–the universal sign for 'You're not getting another vodka tonic'–and the rest of the waitstaff rolled the silverware tightly up in paper napkins to make little spoon-filled spliffs, Spicoli threw a couple of bills on the bar, hopped from his stool and headed for the door, throwing us a peace sign as he walked by.
"WAIT!" A shrieked, "Pull up a chair!" And–for whatever reason–he did, taking the seat with the sort of guarded curiosity you use when a park ranger asks if you'd like to touch the copperhead he's been holding.
"So." she began, slapping his knee like he wasn't a complete stranger. "Do you like dogs?"
She didn't start by asking his name, his business, whether or not he'd ever set any children on fire. No, she was most concerned how he felt about domesticated mammals. Excellent.
Spicoli cocked his head a bit, imitating the animal he was being asked about. "Um, yeah, sure."
"GREAT!" A shouted, clapping her hands. "BECAUSE J-MONEY HAS A DOG!"
She continued to interrogate him for the better part of thirty minutes, asking all of the important questions, like whether he was married (He wasn't.), whether he had a job (He did. With benefits, he added, perhaps anticipating the next question), and whether he had been to Australia (He had not). We were about to find out whether liked Tom Petty songs, when he sat up and announced that he was getting cold and was going to go grab a change of clothes.
We assumed that he'd decided not to spend any more time in our lives or, quite possibly, had gone to call the authorities, when he knocked on the just-locked door, already back and wearing a pair of blue jeans in less time it took me to wipe the remaining tomato bits off my face.
"Wow, you must be staying close to here!" I said, jumping into the convo for the first time since discovering that neither he nor I had ever been pregnant, another excellent sign as far as our compatibility was concerned.
"Kind of," he said, shrugging and giving us a blank expression like a carved pumpkin whose candle had been blown out. "My stuff is in my van."
"Heading to your hotel?" I asked, pleased that I could even follow the conversation at this point since I was pretty sure I'd given myself fetal alcohol syndrome.
"Nope. I live in my van."
We stared at him. If we'd been in a cartoon, you would've heard the sound of a single percussive tinkle as we all blinked in unison.
A spoke first. "Wow." She rebounded. "Do you have curtains?"
He did not.
And that was when she decided that the night was over.
She turned around to face the half of the restaurant that was shrouded in darkness. "Well. I guess Special Angel isn't going to refill your pilsner." In response, another bank of lights went out, followed by the rhythmic click of the back room breakers being turned off.
We all walked out together, unsure of what to do next. We hadn't anticipated this plot twist, which was passable in a Debra Messing mini-series but not in my life. I don't have high standards (see: Boyfriend, My Former) but somewhere on my wishlist between 'two distinct eyebrows' and 'aversion to sweater vests' is the hope that his permanent residence doesn't have a dashboard or a cardboard evergreen dangling from the rearview.
I wanted to say something–to ask for his VIN number maybe?–but instead we just waved, returning his peace signs with ones of our own. We started stumbling home carefully, hoping to avoid the koi pond and wondering when it had gotten so cold.
* Again, this ran in June and doesn't reflect an attempt to double dutch The New Boyfriend. I tend to be more monogamous than most tapeworms.

Published in the June edition of the peer-reviewed journal Obesity, the cross-cultural study finds that women are more likely to categorize themselves as overweight than men, both overall and within each ethnic group. In addition, African Americans are least likely and whites most likely to consider themselves overweight. The study finds that even among many adults of average or normal weight -- men in particular -- a self-perceived weight problem correlates with sedentary behavior.
White women of average weight are the only ethnic-gender group studied in which the proportion of sedentary individuals is not higher among those who consider themselves overweight, versus average weight, the study shows. White women are also the only ethnic-gender group in which average-weight individuals comprise the majority.
The researchers noted that in addition to cultural expectations, greater access to fitness programs, "walkable" neighborhoods, quality child and elder care, and flexible work hours all help make the choice to be active easier for white women overall than their Latina and African American counterparts.
"These data suggest that our society's emphasis on weight loss rather than lifestyle change may inadvertently discourage even non-obese people from adopting or maintaining the physical activity necessary for long-term good health," said Dr. Antronette Yancey, lead author of the study and associate professor of health services at the UCLA School of Public Health.
"All groups may benefit from messages that shift the focus away from a specific target weight and associated calorie counting, and instead promote increased physical activity and healthy eating habits," Yancey said. "We still need to learn more about the relationship between overweight self-perception and healthy lifestyle change, and the apparent protective role of the cultural valuation of thinness and stigmatization of obesity in the battle of the bulge." The study used data from the 200203 Los Angeles County Health Survey, a random telephone survey conducted by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. Of 14,154 eligible adults contacted, 8,167 completed interviews, or 58 percent. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from self-reported weight and height, and each individual was classified as underweight, normal, overweight or obese. Self-perceived weight status was measured using direct questions asking participants to identify themselves as overweight, underweight or average for their height. Sedentary behavior was measured using standardized questions from an adaptation of the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
Among specific findings:
- The prevalence of overweight and obesity among adult Angelenos by race/ethnicity and gender was fairly typical of national samples. The combined prevalence of overweight and obesity was highest in African Americans and Latinos, intermediate in whites, and lowest in Asians-Pacific Islanders. The pattern was consistent among both men and women within each group.
- 73.2 percent of overweight/non-obese and 24.1 percent of average-weight women considered themselves overweight, compared with 44.5 percent of overweight/ non-obese and 5.6 percent of average-weight men.
- 41.3 percent of overweight/non-obese African Americans identified themselves as overweight, compared with 60.6 percent of overweight/non-obese whites.
- Overweight self-perception, versus average-weight self-perception, correlated with sedentary behavior among average-weight adults (45.3 percent versus 33.0 percent), overweight adults (43.4 percent versus 33.6 percent), average-weight and overweight men (38.4 percent versus 27.8 percent), overweight whites (41.9 percent versus 29.7 percent), and African Americans and Latinos (41.6 percent versus 33.9 percent).

Brisbane are poised to select captain Tom Rockliff for Sunday's AFL clash with West Coast at the Gabba but will only play him if he can prove he's ready.
The winless Lions have missed Rockliff since he suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung during the round one loss to Collingwood.
Initial predictions suggested the 25-year-old would miss six weeks with the injury.
But coach Justin Leppitsch believes if Rockliff can prove his fitness in a training session on Thursday he'll be good to return against the Eagles.
"I'd love to give you an answer right now but we'll have training this afternoon, more than likely pick him in the team and then wait and see how he goes," Leppitsch said.
"He has to be able to do all the movements that are in the game, if he can do all those he'll more than likely wear a brace so the impact won't be an issue and then we've ticked all the boxes haven't we."
One thing Leppitsch says he will not do is rush Rockliff back into his team.
Despite the Lions desperately seeking their first win of the campaign, Leppitsch says there's no benefit to throwing Rockliff back into the mix before he's ready.
"Tom will only come back if he's fit to play," he said.
"It doesn't bother me if we're 0-18, you're only playing a fit player."
Leppitsch says Matthew Leuenberger will present a selection headache after making his comeback from injury in the Lions' reserves last weekend.
The Lions coach says Stef Martin did a satisfactory job against Adelaide last week and he's not going to pick two ruckmen simply to combat the Eagles' Nic Naitanui and Scott Lycett.
"One thing that was proven against us when we had two rucks, the opposition came in with one and did okay, I don't think that's necessarily the issue," he said.
Leppitsch admits he is getting feelings of deja vu when it comes to the Lions' winless start after they went 0-5 at the start of 2014.
The Lions snapped that losing run with a victory over St Kilda on Anzac Day in Wellington and Leppitsch said he was hopeful the Anzac weekend would prove a good one again for the club.
"Maybe it's destiny again? Maybe next year we can bring round one back to Anzac Day?," he said.
"We'll wait and see. Let's hope it starts this week, start to bring the positivity back."
