70 Years Since The End Of WWII
Although VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day) is recognized on September 2nd, Japan's actual surrender date was the fourteenth of August, nineteen forty five.
The war in the Pacific was hard fought and bloody. The tide had definitely turned, and the U.S. military was fighting island by island towards Japan. Resistance was fierce. Casualties on both sides were high.
The U.S. had developed the atomic bomb. The U.S. government was anxious to end the war, and stop the loss of American lives.
On August 6th, 1945, the United States military dropped an atomic bomb over the city of Hiroshima, Japan in an effort to force Japan into an immediate, unconditional surrender. Instead of immediately surrendering, the Japanese government debated what to do. So, the U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb on August 9, 1945 over the city of Nagasaki, Japan. August 9th is also the day that the Soviet Union entered the war with their invasion of Manchuria.
On August 14, 1945, Japanese Emperor Hirohito cabled the U.S. to surrender, and agreed to the terms of the Potsdam Declaration. On August 15, 1945, news of the surrender was announced to the world. World War II was finally over. Hostilities ended. On September 2, 1945, the Japanese formally surrendered aboard the U.S. battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. President Truman declared this to be V-J Day.

Study Results
Mushrooms Linked With Immunity
A recent study published in the online Journal of the American College of Nutrition shows a correlation between mushrooms and immunity. The study suggested that eating four ounces of cooked shitake mushrooms daily for four weeks resulted in better-functioning gamma delta T-cells and fewer inflammatory proteins in blood, both of which are signs of a stronger immune system. Study leader Susan S. Percival, says the findings apply to all types of edible mushrooms, not just the shitakes.

Chapter III: Green Bay
Jean Nicolet was commissioned by Samuel de Champlain, the founder of New France, to form a peaceful alliance with Indians in the western areas whose unrest was interfering with French fur trade. Nicolet founded a small trading post here in 1634, originally named La Baye or La Baie des Puants (French for "the stinking Bay"). When Nicolet arrived in the Green Bay area, he encountered the Menominee, as this was their territory. He also met the Ho-Chunk. Nicolet stayed with this tribe for about a year, becoming an ally. He helped open up opportunities for trade and commerce with them before returning to Quebec.
In 1671, a Jesuit Mission was set up in the area. A fort was not added until 1717 and gradually associated development took place. The town was incorporated in 1754. As Great Britain took control of French areas during the Seven Years' War, this town came under British control in 1761.
The first permanent French settlers were Charles de Langlade (called the "Founder and Father of Wisconsin") and his family from Canada, who moved to Green Bay in 1765, becoming the first European-American settlers in today's Wisconsin. Langlade establishing a trading post in Green Bay in 1745, and moving there permanently in 1764. The French residents at the trading post in what is now Green Bay, referred to the town as "La Bey", however British fur traders referred to it as "Green Bay", because the water and the shore assumed green tints in early spring. The old French title was gradually dropped, and the British name of "Green Bay" eventually stuck.
The Green Bay area was still under British control until the 1783 treaty formally ended the American Revolutionary War. The Erie Canal was completed in 1825, linking New England with the Great Lakes. This led to the advance of Green Bay as a trading center. After statehood, there was a shift away from fur trading toward lumbering. Today's major local industry had its start in 1865 when the first paper mill was built. Wisconsin's first newspaper, The Green Bay Intelligencer, was started in 1833. The town was incorporated as the city of Green Bay in 1854 and the Green Bay Area Public School District was founded in 1856. In 1919 The Green Bay Packers (named after their sponsor, the Indian Packing Co) were organized. As of the census of 2010, there were 104,057 people, 42,244 households, and 24,699 families residing in the beautiful city of Green Bay.

FICO® Score Versions
Why Is My Credit Score Different From One Creditor To Another?
FICO® Scores have been in use for over 25 years by many kinds of lenders to make more informed credit granting decisions. To keep up with behavioral trends of consumers and to suit the evolving needs of lenders, the FICO® Score model has been redeveloped over the years. The result is that there are multiple FICO® Score versions available in addition to the most widely used version, FICO® Score 8.
When a new FICO® Score version is developed, we release it to the market. From there, each industry determines if and when it will upgrade to the latest version. It helps to think of the versions as older or newer generations of smart phones. They all share the same base functionality, but the latest versions also have unique updated features to meet evolving user needs.
Industry-specific FICO® Scores are versions of FICO® Scores that are optimized for a certain type of credit product, such as auto loans or credit cards. The foundation of these versions is the same as the base FICO® Score versions, but they are fine-tuned based on industry-specific risk behavior.
With all FICO® Score versions, the keys to FICO® Scores remain the same: Make payments on time, keep credit card balances low & open new credit accounts only when needed.
