Strength training is a type of physical exercise specializing in the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction which builds the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. When properly performed, strength training can provide significant functional benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being, including increased bone, muscle, tendon and ligament strength and toughness, improved joint function, reduced potential for injury, increased bone density, increased metabolism, increased fitness, improved cardiac function, and improved lipoprotein lipid profiles, including elevated HDL ("good") cholesterol. Training commonly uses the technique of progressively increasing the force output of the muscle through incremental weight increases and uses a variety of exercises and types of equipment to target specific muscle groups. Strength training is primarily an anaerobic activity, although some proponents have adapted it to provide the benefits of aerobic exercise through circuit training. Sports where strength training is central are bodybuilding, weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, Highland games, shotput, discus throw, and javelin throw. Many other sports use strength training as part of their training regimen, notably American football, wrestling, track and field, rowing, lacrosse, basketball, poledancing (or polefitness), hockey and football. Strength training for other sports and physical activities is becoming increasingly popular. Endurance (also related to sufferance, resilience, constitution, fortitude, and hardiness) is the ability of an organism to exert itself and remain active for a long period of time, as well as its ability to resist, withstand, recover from, and have immunity to trauma, wounds, or fatigue. It is usually used in aerobic or anaerobic exercise. The definition of ''long'' varies according to the type of exertion - minutes for high intensity anaerobic exercise, hours or days for low intensity aerobic exercise. Training for endurance can have a negative impact on the ability to exert strength unless an individual also undertakes resistance training to counteract this effect. Many personnel consider endurance to be an indicator of progress, when strength and cardio training. A person is able to accomplish or withstand a higher amount of effort than their original capabilities means their endurance is increasing expressing improvement. In looking to improve ones endurance they may slowly increase the amount of repetitions or time spent, if higher repetitions are taken rapidly muscle strength improves while less endurance is gained. Increasing endurance has been proven to release endorphins resulting in a positive mind. The act of gaining endurance through physical activity has been shown to decrease anxiety, depression, and stress, or any chronic disease in total. Although a greater endurance can assist the cardiovascular system it does not imply that any cardiovascular disease can be guaranteed to improve. "The major metabolic consequences of the adaptations of muscle to endurance exercise are a slower utilization of muscle glycogen and blood glucose, a greater reliance on fat oxidation, and less lactate production during exercise of a given intensity." The term stamina is sometimes used synonymously and interchangeably with endurance.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) represent one of the largest families of integral membrane proteins in eukaryotes. Approximately 34% of FDA-approved drugs interact with GPCR. Despite recent GPCR structure reports, the number of unique structures known represents only a small percentage of all therapeutically-relevant GPCR. Experimental and computational approaches have been applied to the goal of decreasing this structural knowledge gap. Experimentally, water-soluble (WS) mutation sets intended to be transferrable throughout the GPCR family have been designed. A Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) fusion partner was used as a folding reporter with a WS-GPCR mutant to more efficiently screen culture conditions for optimal protein expression in E. coli. Increasing the inducer concentration and post-induction growth time at low temperatures were observed to increase the amount of protein found in the soluble fraction based on whole-cell fluorescence measurements. Chaperone (GroEL) discovery in purified WS-GPCR mutant samples prompted the search for removal strategies during protein purification. Attempts to remove GroEL by applying strategies found in the literature were unsuccessful. The MOE Patch Analyzer tool was used to calculate hydrophobic surface patches on WS-GPCR mutants generated in silico. Addition of mutations at positions 1.31, 6.39, 6.57, 7.37, 7.48, and 7.51 on the 2-adrenergic receptor M15 mutant decreases the calculated size of major hydrophobic surface patches and may prove useful in future efforts to eliminate the GroEL interaction with WS-GPCR mutants. A computational benchmark study comparing performance of loop modeling algorithms available in the Rosetta and Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) software suites was also performed. Extracellular loop 2 (ECL2) from various GPCR served as the modeling targets. Results from this benchmark study suggest that out of 1000 total loop models generated, the KIC with Fragments (KICF) and Next Generation KIC (NGK) algorithms within Rosetta sampled more models with near-atomic accuracy than the Cyclic Coordinate Descent (CCD) algorithm or the de novo search method within MOE for ECL2 targets with 24 residues or less. For longer loop modeling targets, it is likely that increased sampling is necessary to obtain models with near-atomic accuracy..

Prayer didn''t work. Fasting didn''t work. Psychotherapy and inner healing didn''t work. Deliverance failed. And reparative therapy made me want to commit suicide.I tried everything over the course of twenty years to rid myself of same-sex attraction. I realized I could no longer deny who I was simply because my spiritual community held narrowly prescribed notions of what was acceptable, moral, and holy. So I decided to be true to myself, to discover who God had really made me to be. I came out of the closet and took Christ with me."God loves the sinner but hates the sin," she said. The only Christian from my former life who maintained contact with me through my early coming out process finally said she was concerned with my "lifestyle choice," implying I had chosen a life of sin.I answered with a long letter sharing my feelings and espousing my hard-earned beliefs. Response to a Concerned Heterosexual Christian is adapted from this reply. It details my struggle and everything I did to overcome it.With twenty years in the evangelical charismatic church, a masters in biblical studies, years in Christian publishing and missions work, and time spent pastoring, Lee Allen Howard presents this contemporary issue from a personal viewpoint that''s scripturally educated.Do LGBT people need to be fixed, healed? Does the stance of conservative Christianity represent the nature of God and Christ to everyone? Do we have scriptural precedent to acceptLGBT people just as they are?If you''ve struggled with these issues regardless of your orientation, you owe it to yourself and all those inside and outside of Christ''s fold to foster a new understanding, "That they may be one as we are one" (John 17:22).
