== Email system == This article provides a basic description of how the Internet email system works. See the references and bibliography for more on the protocols used in message transfer, the format of messages, or any of the protocols and services at the "relay-level" of a mail handling system. <ref>There is a brief discussion in [[Messaging application protocols]] and complete details in [Klensin08], [Resnick08], and [Crocker08].</ref> Good elementary discussions of these topics can also be found in most texts on computer networks. <ref> See Bibliography [PnD07] and [Stevens04].</ref>  Internet mail has evolved without much central planning to a collection of very diverse and astonishingly complex systems. Like the [[Internet]] itself, it is helpful to study these systems the way a biologist would study an organism, or a social scientist the behavior of a group. Who are the Actors in a typical email system? What are their roles and responsibilities in handling the mail? What are their relationships with each other? What are their motivations? How can we build better security systems? A typical mail handling system has a network of Relays, <ref>Do not confuse [[SMTP]] Relays with [[router]]s or packet switches. Relays use SMTP/TCP/IP, and the functionality of routers is entirely encapsulated within the IP layer of this protocol stack. We can ignore routers in this discussion. They are "transparent" to SMTP. </ref> each temporarily storing the message, performing some specialized function, and passing it on to the next Relay using the [[SMTP]] protocol. You can tell how many Relays handled a message by looking at the Received lines in the message header. There should be one for each Relay. Figure 1 shows a typical system with the Relays grouped into functional blocks. In this diagram, we have named the blocks by the role they play in processing a message, and assigned each role to a different Actor (User or Agent). However, each Actor can have multiple blocks, each block can have multiple hosts, and each host can have multiple Relays running as independent daemon processes. A Transmitter might have a dozen Relays, operating in parallel to handle a large mailflow, or widely dispersed to serve users all over the world. An MDA might have a process dedicated to managing a large mailstore, another running a POP/IMAP server, and another providing a webmail interface.

 '''Figure 1 Actors (Users and Agents) and roles (functional blocks) in a typical email system.''' To understand a mail handling system, including its security vulnerabilities, we need to focus on the roles and responsibilities of each Actor and the relationships between them. Figure 1 is a simplified model of just one system. There are many other possibilities. We might add a Forwarder between the Receiver and the MDA, or an Open Relay floating in the cloud. We might join two blocks under one Agent. We might add another layer of organization, showing a group of Actors organized as a Mail Receiving Network <ref>{{citation | author = K. Moore | title = Recommendations for Submission of Email and Relaying of Email Between Mail Networks | year = 2005}}, http://www.cs.utk.edu/~moore/opinions/email-submission-recommendations.html </ref> or an Administrative Management Domain. <ref> Administrative Management Domain (ADMD) is the more general term proposed in [Crocker08]. This could include Mail Receiving Networks or any other cooperating group of Actors.</ref>  Yet another layer could be shown by grouping the Relays according to who owns the equipment. <ref> These are the [[Autonomous System]]s of the physical network. As with routers, however, it is much simpler to think of this layer as transparent to the level we are modeling (even if the Actors in our model happen to be also network owners). This is a frequent point of confusion, particularly for people who would like to hold network owners responsible for the content of the messages they carry.</ref> A diagram like Figure 1 could get quite complex. A shorthand notation will allow us to show the relevant networks, actors, roles, and relationships. Here is a basic system with four Actors (two Users and two Agents), organized as two networks: <ref> These "networks" are of Actors and their relationships, not routers and data links.</ref>   |--- Sender's Network ---| |-- Recipient's Network -| / Author ==> MSA/Transmitter --> / --> Receiver/MDA ==> Recipient / Border The double arrow shows a direct relationship between Actors (e.g. a contract between the Author and his Email Service Provider ('''ESP''')). The single arrow shows only the direction of mail flow. There is no relationship between Agents across the Border to the open Internet. The / shows multiple roles being played by one Actor. Using these diagrams, we can model almost any system, and include a lot of detail on relationships, but not lose the simplicity of Figure 1. The elements of the model (Actor's roles) are the fundamental building blocks.  Here is an extension of the basic system, adding a Forwarder role, played by the same Actor as the Receiver. Both the Receiver/Forwarder and the MDA have a direct relationship with the Recipient, so they have an indirect relationship with each other. These details are important in discussions of authentication protocols. |-------- Recipient's Network ---------| / --> / --> Receiver/Forwarder ~~> MDA ==> Recipient / Border If we wonder why email continues to be such an insecure system, we can study this last example. Authentication protocols that try to correlate the Transmitter's domain name to the connecting IP address can fail when a Forwarder is involved. We cannot just dismiss Forwarding as an "edge case", however. It is important for a user who changes jobs or ESPs, and would like to continue receiving mail at his old address. Let's follow a message from start to finish. The scenario begins with an Author composing a message using his mail client. There are countless mail clients available, just like there are many web browsers to choose from. In fact, most web browsers now include a mail client, or at least a mechanism to invoke the user's preferred client when he clicks a mailto: link in a webpage. When the Author clicks SEND, his mail client connects to an MSA at his ESP, and the message is transferred using SMTP. A key responsibility of the MSA is to authenticate the Author. This can be done with a password, by assigning the client a static IP address, or by having the client on the MSA's local network, not directly connected to the Internet. Most large ESPs operate their own transmitter Relays, but smaller companies, and organizations with a lot of bulk mail, often subcontract this specialized role to another Agent. The Transmitter's responsibilities include prevention of outgoing spam, and providing some means to prove their identity to unrelated Receivers. It isn't enough to say "HELO, this is trustme.com". Any spammer can do that. The Transmitter must provide some "out-of-band" data using a service like DNS that is more trusted than email. The Receiver's responsibilities include a number of functions we might call "Border defense" – blocking a DoS attack, authenticating the sender, and various spam-blocking strategies, including whitelisting, blacklisting, statistical analysis of message content, and use of heuristic rulesets that have proven effective in separating spam from legitimate mail. Border defense should be done at the Border. Loss of mail due to violations of this principle is common. A forwarded message can look like a forgery, and then the MDA has a tough choice – drop the message with no notice to the alleged sender, or send the notice and risk being reported for "bounce spam". The problems with mis-configured mailsystems can be avoided if all Actors understand their roles and relationships. When a Recipient sets up forwarding from his old Receiver/Forwarder to his new MDA, he should make sure that the Forwarder is whitelisted by the MDA. Forwarders should make sure that Recipients (non-expert users) understand this. MDAs should understand that forwarding is a common need, and make it easy for Recipients to whitelist their Forwarders. == Notes == {{reflist|2}} == Subtopic: Related Articles == ===Parent topics=== {{r|Computer network}} {{r|Internet}} {{r|Email}} ===Subtopics=== [[SMTP|Message Transfer (RFC-5321, SMTP)]] Message Formats (RFC-5322, MIME)]] Authentication Methods (overview, see Other for details) ===Other related topics=== {{r|Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP}} {{r|Transmission Control Protocol|TCP}} {{r|Messaging application protocols|POP/IMAP}} (feel free to tear that article apart) {{r|Email History}} {{r|Email Abuse}} (gives me an image of a message being beaten with a clue stick, but I'm weird) {{r|Email User Programs}} [[SPF]] (Disambiguate from Shortest Path First?)

We will add lots of subtopics expanding on details such as message formats and transfer protocols. Topics relating to email security are also proper subtopics, because it is much easier to discuss email security once you understand how the system works. Email abuse (spam, phishing, etc.) is a related topic, because it does not expand on or depend on this article. == Subtopic: Email Authentication == ??? <subtopic> Email authentication methods fall into two categories. Methods like SPF, SenderID, and CSV rely on the fact that certain IP addresses are firmly under the control of a sender (an individual or organization identified by its domain name). Methods like DKIM rely on a digital signature verifying the entire message and most of its headers. Both depend on the security of DNS. The assumption is that only the domain owner has access to the DNS records under his name. With IP-based methods, the sender publishes in DNS the IP addresses authorized to use his domain name. With signature-based methods, the sender publishes a public key. IP methods can be very efficient, rejecting an entire session without transferring any messages. End-to-end signature methods can be very secure, even with an un-trusted Forwarder in the middle. </subtopic>

Search Engine Optimisation, SEO, is a process whereby we make sure you website is structured such that it can be understood by Search Engines.
This marketing discipline focusses on obtaining visibility in organic search engine results, i.e. Getting high enough in the search engine results listing such that searchers come to your website for free. This is quite different from paid advertising. Search Engine Optimisation requires diverse skills to implement effectively as it encompasses both the technical and creative elements necessary to improve the ranking of your website.
Throughout this process we must not forget, in the pursuit of the elusive search engine friendliness, that we should be making our website customer friendly or they may not interact even if they did find you from a search.
Here is a simplified representation of the process we go through to improve your website ranking.
If you are confused about this stuff, you are not alone, and we're here to help.
Why Can't Search Engines analyse my site without SEO?
The search engine algorithms employed by the major search engines are indeed very clever and becoming smarter all the time. They are not yet smart enough to work out what search queries best match your business so we need to give them this information in no uncertain terms.
While the search engine companies are working to improve their technology to crawl the web more and more deeply to give users the most relevant options, It remains very important to make sure that when they crawl your pages, the information they collect relates to your customers.
The internet is becoming increasingly competitive so it is increasingly important that our search engine optimisation really is relevant to know search queries thereby giving your business an advantage in visitors and potential customers.
The major commercial search engines are Google, Bing and Yahoo. The majority of web traffic is driven by these three so they are the ones we need to concentrate on to improve your ranking. While Social Media can generate traffic to your site these search engines are the big players.
The real value of these Search Engines is that they provide targeted traffic, i.e. people who are looking for you or someone like you. So, if search engines cannot determine what you are all about they can not present your website as an option for the person making the search.
What people type into search engines are called search queries and these are highly valued assets for the process of search engine optimisation. If your website text matches the search query this targeted traffic can provide publicity, revenue and deliver exposure like no other marketing channel.
Investing in Search engine optimisation SEO can provide greater returns than any other form of internet marketing.
When you ask us to look at your Search Engine Optimisation we make an initial assesment for free. We will also give you an estimate of what it will cost to get your home page optimised. There is no obligation to comission us to coplete the work.
Often ignored and not widely understood Structured Data factilitates an exchange of information between your website and Search Engines.
There is a huge amount of information you can send to search engines using this protocol. This means that there is no confusion as to what is your address, phone number, location, opening times, contact information, etc.

While earning her degree in Architecture from the University of Kentucky, Charlotte Stengel studied in the Mediterranean, Europe and India. She practiced in the traditional field of architecture for several years and it was her love of science that led her to do graduate work in Medicine. In medical school, at the University of Louisville, she met Dena Wilson and their collaboration as study partners grew during long hours of gross anatomy, neurology and the rest of the med school curriculum. Along with classes and research, came children, and Stengel, deciding that her responsibilities to her family at that time took priority, stepped away from medical school. She continued to design in her husband's firm, Stengel Hill Architecture. During this time, the path to ARCHITYPE was forged.
The QUIVER, Stengel's first design, was created out of the need for a professional and sophisticated bag in which to carry drawings and documents to client meetings. Her friend, Dena Wilson, liked it so much that she requested one to carry as a handbag. The bag received many requests and raves and the two women decided to partner again...As business partners. In May 2008, Stengel and Wilson launched ARCHITYPE, a design house specializing in original leather bags and accessories. The flagship gallery in Louisville, KY, also designed by Stengel, displays all of ARCHITYPE's originals. Architecture and Science inspire Stengel's designs and her bags reflect thoughtful functionality and sophisticated simplicity.
Dena Wilson received her degree in Spanish and her degree in Medicine from the University of Louisville. She practiced Medicine in the Psychiatry Residency program in Louisville. During her educational preparation and medical residency, Wilson started her family of three children. Choosing to make family-life her main priority while her children were young, she left the residency program to devote herself as a full-time mother. Maintaining her interest in psychology, life sciences and an intellectual interest in Human Behavior, Wilson, like Stengel, continued to study neuropsychology at the graduate level. She and longtime med-school friend, Stengel, began to study Jungian literature and archetypes.
During this time, Stengel had designed the QUIVER, a utilitarian bag for architectural drawings, and Wilson loved it. Wilson saw the inherent value in exploring the psychological impact of an everyday functional product, namely a handbag. How does such an item reflect and possibly affect its owner? Furthermore, Wilson's life on a viable Bison Ranch further inspired her to utilize the sustainable by-product of leather as the medium for such a product. The synchronicity of Wilson's and Stengel's lives, interests, and principles rooted the formation of ARCHITYPE, the name playing on the reference to Stengel's background in Architecture and Wilson's background in Psychiatry. As Co-Proprietor of ARCHITYPE, Wilson focuses on Company Development through marketing and distribution in stores in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast, as well as maintaining the flagship store, ARCHITYPE Gallery, in Louisville, KY. Wilson enjoys watching how customers respond to ARCHITYPE designs and how each person finds self-expression in an ARCHITYPE Bag.


We booked an excursion to Can Gio which was advertised as a Mangrove Forest Reserve where you can interact with the monkeys and other animals. We thought it would a great day trip keeping in theme with our animal adventures.
We drove for an hour and then took a ferry across the river to the island.
Then we took a canoe ride through the mangrove jungle. What it turned out to be was a tour of the command post for the guerrilla Viet Cong during the war and a tour of the area.
It included a video of the Sac jungle and the efforts for liberation and freedom for the people. Not really what we thought we would be doing. Yes there were plenty monkeys but they were so aggressive that we did not dare trying to interact with them. There was a crocodile farm where the animals were HUGE. Like 15′ long huge.
We stopped at a resort and had a really nice lunch and the best part of the day which was a swim in the pool.
What is that strange bumpy fruit on the side of the road? It's not often we find a fruit we have never tried before so we had to so it. It was a "water coconut". A palm that grows in water. The fruit is like a young coconut. It was a little bland but with a little sugar was nice.

BUCKINGHAM TWP., Pa. (WPVI) -- Firefighters battled a fire at a Peddler's Village business in Bucks County.
Firefighters were called to the Buckingham Township shopping district shortly before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Arriving crews found The Nut Kettle store fully engulfed with flames.
The fire was placed under control around 7 p.m.
"Peddler's Village is currently open for business with regular hours Tuesday evening, despite the small fire that broke out earlier in one building that houses Shops #63, Nut Kettle, and #64, St Jude's. There were no injuries and the fire has been contained. The other businesses in the Village are not affected," a statement read on Peddler's Village website.

There is a lot of belief building in the Buffalo Bills' locker room this offseason. Mario Williams, Mark Anderson, Marcell Dareus, and Kyle Williams form a scary defensive line.
The team's offense looks primed to improve after a few years under Chad Gailey. Fans are thinking playoffs. Running back C.J. Spiller is thinking higher.
"We split with New England. We had the Giants on the ropes. We are close to being a Super Bowl team," Spiller told NFL Sirius XM Radio on Thursday. "We have to protect the ball."
That's the beauty of the NFL. The Washington Redskins swept the New York Giants last year, so they have reason to believe they are close. Spiller's Bills gave the New England Patriots problems, so they should feel confident they can make a big step forward.
The difference between the Patriots and the Bills is consistency. New England doesn't fall into tailspins like Buffalo did at the end of last year. New England survives injuries and the tough parts of their schedule.
The toughest hurdle for the Bills may be eradicating the losing culture on the team. It's been so long since the Bills have been in the playoffs. Things will go wrong this year. It won't all be smooth. When that happens, the Bills need to respond better than they did in 2011.

Legal Technology Cyberpunk
"Legends are born here."
This is the catchphrase of the new Cyberpunk 2077 game that is expected to hit the stores in November, and supposedly turn the gaming world upside down. Given the previous background of CD Project, the creator of the game, Cyberpunk 2077 has every chance of becoming a commercial success (which is only proven by the fact that half of the AXDRAFT team has listed pre-order forms and are anxious to hit the play button).
It already kind of feels like the legends are not only born in metropolis Night City in California, but at CD Project company in Poland.
Now why am I even talking about this?
As I am looking at the futuristic game concept arts, two questions are pulsing in my head:
What can make a legal tech company really legendary?
What future awaits the legal tech and legal industry in general?
I don't think I am the first person to ponder over the first question. Some would say that a legendary company is a jigsaw puzzle built with such details as brilliant customer care, an easy-to-use product with intuitive interfaces that meets the needs of the audience, whimsical messaging, and thousands of hours of hard work under the hood.
Which is true, of course, these are the essential building blocks in any success story. But is it all it takes to become legendary though?
I'd say no.
I'd even say hell no.
Much rather it is about breaking the mold and neglecting the retroactive approach that is all too tempting to resort to. It's about crashing the tradition that many in legal cling to, and building a new tradition in its place. The theory of creative destruction is at the core of any transformation in the legal industry.
So the answer to my first question is:
A truly legendary legal tech company is the first to identify and embrace the downfall in legal processes—and build innovation on the ruins of the previous experience, shaping it into a form no one could have expected.
Sounds kind of dystopian, doesn't it?
Not much so if you look at it from a more synergistic standpoint. Which brings us to my second question. What does the future have in store for legal tech in the long run?
Off the top of my head, I came up with two scenarios for the development of legal operations in the future:
1. Legal services are fully robotized
In our digital era, this is what every expert is covertly afraid of—that technology will overtake the industry and make human services unnecessary one day. With the giant leaps that AI and machine learning technologies are taking it's no wonder that lawyers are feeling a bit uncertain, and hence, reluctant to trust legal tech.
I would not be so sure as to claim that this is the ultimate and inevitable path the industry is going to take. In fact, we ran a small quiz on our Twitter page asking the audience whether they think it is possible that technology replaces lawyers one day and 67% responded "Not in this lifetime."
This is backed up by the fact that legal operations, although being automated, are still very contextual, and require non-algorithmic thinking and a supreme level of sentiment analysis to account for all the flexibility of the human mind.
We're just not there yet technologically, so I guess we're safe for a half-century or so 😊
2. Legal tech becomes the "vital implant" for any lawyer
Unlike the previous path, this one seems a lot more viable.
In Cyberpunk 2077, modifications and cybernetic implants are two of the widely used tropes, tracing back to endless sci-fi novels exploiting the same concept. While I am very curious to see to which lengths they will go presenting the idea of body modification in-game, both in emotional and informational aspects, it occurred to me that modifications in a broader sense are already used so widely in so many areas that we barely even notice it.
First home phones modified the way we communicate, then cell phones, and now social media. And yet they didn't fully replace the previous ways to connect with people, but merely added to the accessibility and simplicity of communication. The same goes for many things, which we barely even notice now, and which complement our life and make it easier.
So why should the legal industry be any different?
Right now we are still at the dawn of legal tech adoption on a large scale. There are still legal experts who prefer to work the old school way—printing, redlining, manually signing, scanning, and emailing their contracts, for instance.
But the tendencies suggest that they will end up as the few sooner or later (and I vote for sooner). So modification is gaining momentum here, and similar to implants in Cyberpunk 2077, all of them are designed to amplify possibility and automate redundant and mindless tasks. More so, now is the best time to start employing these legal process modifications into your workflows, to start gaining extra value and improve the quality of legal work before the bar is raised and you'll need to keep up.
That's what we built AXDRAFT for, to modify your contract management. Who knows, maybe we'll end up a legend too one day 😏
After all, we're all living in the world "of endless opportunity" aren't we?

Your Child at the Centre
From humble beginnings in 1955, today we nurture more than 600 students from new and 'next generation' families in the northern suburbs of Adelaide.
As the City of Elizabeth was established and industry such as the GMH factory was introduced, the City of Salisbury boomed and The Dominican Sisters of North Adelaide were invited to open a co-educational Catholic primary school.
Beginning with one building comprising three classrooms which also served as the St Augustine's Parish Hall, the sisters initially travelled by car to Salisbury each day. Before long, a second building with two more classrooms was needed.
In the late 1960s after a fire burned St Finbar's School to the ground, the Salisbury Catholic Parish decided that rather than rebuild on that site, they would build a new building on the current school site and this would become the only Parish school. By the 1970s an 'open space unit' was built.
Our motto of 'Truth' comes from the Dominican 'Veritas'.
At St Augustine's, we pride ourselves on striving for truth in all things.
Our community today
For the last 35 years, the school's population has been steady at around 600. Physically, the school has grown with the addition of more classrooms, basketball and other courts, and a learning centre which includes a computer lab.
Investment in the training and development of our teaching and support staff has led to specialist programs and services, including Out of School Hours Care, a performing arts program and robotics and other STEM initiatives.
We are inspired by the work of St Augustine of Hippo and use our understanding of the changing needs of families in our local community, to equip students with a strong sense of identity, a mission of hope and optimism, empathy for others and a continuing search for truth.
As we strive to create a healthy environment for every child in our care, it is our hope that each person in our school community can feel an appreciation of their worth and the value we place on giving them an opportunity contribute to the life of our school as they journey in faith and time.

Australia should host US nuclear subs: CSIS

Maritime and
Undersea Warfare
By: Reporter
A report from a United States think tank has said that basing US nuclear attack submarines in Australia would boost the strengths of the US and its allies in the South Pacific.
The report from Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), written by former director of Asian Affairs for the National Security Council under George W. Bush, Michael Green, and Andrew Shearer, a former national security adviser to Tony Abbott, said the establishment of nuclear support infrastructure in Australia would be one of the best ways to "push back" against increased efforts from China to project its military power in the region.
"It is time to step up Quad-centered maritime presence and military capability-building in the Indian Ocean," the report said.
"Two cost-effective ways to do this would be to increase interoperability through an expanded Malabar exercise series and to establish a rotational presence of US surface combatant vessels at HMAS Stirling in Western Australia (and consider the possibility of investing in the nuclear support infrastructure necessary for basing of attack submarines as well)."
The report comes after fears have been heightened China is looking to take a more assertive role in the Indo-Pacific region by building up a string of bases and dual-use ports, including in Vanuatu, less than 1,500 miles from Australia's north-eastern coast.
Vanuatu has dismissed the reports that discussions were underway with China to establish a military base, but the move would come as no surprise given the relationship between the two nations. The Chinese government has previously provided a $54 million concessional loan for a Chinese company to build a 360-metre wharf at Luganville and Chinese state-owned enterprise, the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, has signed a contract with Vanuatu to expand Bauerfield International Airport, the main aviation gateway to Vanuatu.
The report from Green and Shearer suggested, along with having nuclear submarines and supporting infrastructure based in Western Australia, members of the 'Quad security' - the US, Australia, Japan and India - offer "expanded support for civil society-building, transparency, and accountability" in littoral states participating in China's Maritime Silk Road development strategy to ensure greater attention to anti-corruption, labour and the environment.
"Members of the Quad should develop a more attractive alternative to the Maritime Silk Road through the Asia Development Bank, the Japan Bank for International Co-operation, the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation and other institutions committed to quality infrastructure projects that have better economic impact and lower life-cycle costs," the report said.
Green and Shearer also argued Australia, the US and Japan should work with India to "build a greater maritime domain awareness in the Indian Ocean", including by building up and networking the capacity of littoral countries.
A joint taskforce dedicated to anti-piracy and other operations was also floated in the report.
"Members of the Quad should establish a combined joint taskforce for low-intensity operations such as counter-piracy and humanitarian and disaster relief for the Indo-Pacific that would be inclusive of all regional navies and would establish clearer norms and communication with the People's Liberation Army-Navy and Chinese Coast Guard."

There is pandemonium in Zamfara state following the outbreak of a strange disease that has killed four people already.
Alhaji Salisu Isa-Dangulbi, Chairman of Maru Local Government Council in Zamfara, said on Tuesday that four persons had died of a strange disease in Bindin village of the area.
The chairman told newsmen in Gusau that the council had mobilised a team of medical experts headed by its Director of Health to control the situation.
He said, "We have also reported this situation to state government through the ministries of health and local government for further action.
"We are waiting for the medical team to finish its work so as to know the cause of the outbreak.
The residents of the area had said that many people were affected by the disease which manifested in high fever, red eyes and swollen heads, culminating in death within three hours.
A resident, Kabir Mikailu, said that over 10 people had died in the village and many others were rushed to General Hospital Dangulbi and the Yerima Bakura Specialist Hospital, Gusau.
According to him, the diseases affected mostly women and children and called for speedy response to curtail its spread.

Q: Post body raw json to server retrofit 2? I have a rest web service on a server with postman. How can I send this request to the service?
Body->Raw->JSON(application/json)
[{"NewDigit":"0070297","ReadingStatus":"1","WaterMeterStatus":"1","SCode":"113950","ReportedIssues":"","LNG":"0.0","LAT":"0.0"}]

And this is my Header on the Postman:

Authorization:bearer 123 Content-Type:application/json

and server return this to me:

"OK"

Now I want to implement that with retrofit. This is my interface:
public interface IPostReads {
    @Headers( "Content-Type: application/json")
    @POST("/readings")
    Call<String> savePost(@Header("Authorization") String Authorization, @Body RequestBody body);
}

And this:
public class PostReading {
    private PostReading() {}
    public static final String BASE_URL = "http://185.113.58.156:9100/";

    public static IPostReads getAPIService() {
        return RetrofitClient.getClient(BASE_URL).create(IPostReads.class);
    }
}

I have the following code for the post request:
String[] parts = params[0].toString().split(";");
ir.behineh.wepapiinterface.PostReadingToServer.IPostReads taskService = ServiceGenerator.createService(ir.behineh.wepapiinterface.PostReadingToServer.IPostReads.class);
Call<String> tasks = taskService.savePost("bearer "+parts[1].toString(),RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("application/json"),parts[0].toString()));
try {
    String x=tasks.execute().body();
    Log.d("behzad post output:",x.toString());

} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

I get a response with code 200, but the server returns an error. I think there is something wrong in the body parameter.
What happens?
Thanks.

A: Remove / from @POST("/readings") => @POST("readings") because you already added it on base url at the end.

When one thinks of Mexico as a motorcycle destination the first thought is generally of motocross or adventure riding in Baja. So, contrarians that we are, the QCrew thought we'd explore a different aspect of motorcycling in Mexico – cafe culture.
D.F. (De Effe is what we insiders call Mexico City, much in the same way some people refer to Washington as "D.C.") is a long way from Baja, and riding is an entirely different sport. This is a beautiful and cosmopolitan place and we enjoy recreational riding and driving in and around the city – but not so much for commuting. If you really need to be somewhere the traffic, as in any thriving global city, is daunting. But a cruise to a fantastic dinner or club downtown or to view roads and sites steeped in history and breath taking vistas can be memorable on a bucket-list scale.

What are the major challenges, fault lines, and potential adversities (these terms are used synonymously), that China's economic development will encounter over the next decade? How severely will China's overall economic performance be affected if these adversities occur separately or in clusters? This book addresses these key questions. China has confronted in the past two decades five of the eight fault lines that the authors consider (unemployment, corruption, water resources, HIV/AIDS, and financial fragility), and, nonetheless, it has sustained high rates of economic growth. Therefore, in assessing the potential effects of these fault lines on China's future economic performance, the authors focus on whether, why, and by how much their intensities may increase — that is, on changes, rather than on the prevailing levels of each fault line. For the other three fault lines examined, which have not previously occurred or recurred — oil price shocks, foreign-direct-investment shrinkage, and serious military conflicts-the authors consider the circumstances under which they might arise and their resulting economic effects.
The research described in this report was sponsored jointly by the Office of Net Assessment in the Department of Defense and the Smith Richardson Foundation. The research was conducted in RAND's National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center.

Neighbour of murdered Tunisian opposition leader: "I heard four shots"
The head of a Tunisian opposition party was shot dead this morning in Tunis. Bel Fekih Amine, a neighbour of his, lives right above the scene of the crime. He told us what he witnessed.
The scene of the crime this morning. Photo Bel Fekih Amine.
Chokri Belaid, the secretary-general of the Unified Democratic Nationalist Party, was shot as he left his house in the neighbourhood of El Menzah VI. His wife announced that he was hit by two bullets. His brother, meanwhile, immediately accused Ennahda, the Islamist party in power, of being responsible for Belaid's murder. Tunisia's prime minister Hamadi Jebali denounced this as an "act of terrorism" against the entire country, and promised to do everything in his power to find the culprits.
Belaid was a well-known opposition figure, who was quite critical of the current government. He had recently joined a coalition of left-leaning opposition parties, the Popular Front.
Over the past few months, several opposition parties as well as union leaders have accused pro-Islamist militias of orchestrating attacks against members of the opposition.
A few minutes after hearing the shots ring out, our Observer filmed the scene from his balcony.
"His wife screamed: 'They killed him, they killed him'"
Bel Fekih Amine lives in the neighbourhood of El Menzah VI in Tunis.
I was eating breakfast this morning when I heard four shots ring out. I didn't react right away because I didn't realise they were gunshots. About five minutes later, I heard someone scream, "They killed him, they killed him." It was his wife. I ran out to my balcony and saw his body lying on the ground.
By the time I starting filming, an ambulance had already arrived. Help arrived very quickly because there's a firehouse just a few dozen metres down the road.
Police investigators at the scene of the crime.

The Week Ahead: ECB Rate Decision; Morrisons, Slack, Peloton Results
David Madden
Watch our week ahead video preview and read our pick of the top stories to look out for this week (7-11 September). UK market analyst, David Madden, talks about the huge tech-driven decline in stocks and some optimism surrounding the health crisis, and looks at the week's major events.
JD Sports half-year results
Tuesday: In its full-year numbers in July, JD confirmed that revenue had increased by 30% to £6.11bn, while EBITDA on a comparable accounting basis increased by 28% to £623.6m. However, the retailer warned that the Covid-19 pandemic will have a material impact on next year's results. Stores began to reopen in April and the majority are back in business, but footfall at shopping centres and on the high street has been weak as many people avoid such areas for health purposes. This blow has been cushioned by strong online sales during lockdown. JD will resume paying dividends when conditions allow, but given the current climate, dealers are not holding out much hope. In 2019, JD acquired Footasylum and earlier this year, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) ordered JD to spin off the group as the regulatory body felt the acquisition would lead to fewer discounts, less choice for consumers, and worse customer service. In the current environment, JD Sports might find it tough to claw back its original investment in the company.
Slack Technologies Q2 results
Tuesday: Slack floated in June 2019, and traded above $40 on its debut, but by November the messaging service's share price had dropped more than 50%. Like other stocks, it endured a big sell-off amid the pandemic, but rebounded as working-from-home increased, as traders realised that certain businesses might thrive in the new environment. In June, the stock almost reached its all-time high in advance of the Q1 figures being released. The loss per share was ¢2, while that was smaller than the ¢6 loss per share that traders were expecting. Revenue was $201.7m, which exceeded the consensus estimate of $188.1m. Quarterly revenue growth was 50%, only fractionally higher than the 49% growth posted in the previous quarter. The stock tumbled on the back of the update because, although the revenue numbers were very good, they weren't amazing when compared to similar companies. Around the same time, Zoom Communications registered a 169% surge in quarterly revenue. Many companies saw a colossal jump in demand for their services amid the pandemic, but Slack wasn't one of them. If the stock can't reset its all-time high in the wake of the lockdown, when will it?
Bank of Canada rate meeting
Wednesday: In Canada, economists are not expecting any change to the current policy, with interest rates at 0.25% and weekly government bond purchases of CAD$5bn. The Canadian economy has held up relatively well during the pandemic. The unemployment rate topped out at 13.7% in May, and has been coming down since. Average wages have been falling too, which in the current climate can be seen as positive for the economy. This drop is probably down to lower income workers re-entering the workforce, with the average therefore falling. The June retail sales report showed huge growth at 23.7%, and the May update was revised higher to 21.2%. Before the pandemic kicked in, the Bank of Canada (BoC) typically paid close attention to what the US Fed did in terms of interest rates. Lately, the US central bank has made no major changes to its monetary policy, so that makes it more likely the BoC will not alter its own stance. The Canadian economy is heavily connected to the oil industry, which hit a five-month high in August: news which should help the country.
China trade, CPI & PPI (August)
Monday/Wednesday: Lately, Chinese imports have been subdued, which suggests the recovery is tapering off. The exports component has been robust, but it's believed that personal protective equipment has been a large part of the figure, so demand outside of China is probably a lot weaker than the readings suggest. At the start of the year, the consumer price index (CPI) inflation rate was comfortably above 5%, so demand was clearly strong. The painful lockdown of the economy dented demand, but it has been recovering since the economy reopened. The recent low in the CPI rate was 2.4%, less than half that of the high achieved in the first quarter. Recently the CPI rate has risen, as domestic demand has increased. Reports from companies that operate in China, such as BMW and Burberry, have confirmed that demand has increased too. The resumption of commercial activity has seen the release of pent-up demand. Retail sales have also been improving. The producer price index (PPI) rate was barely in positive territory at the start of the year, and then it was dragged down to -3.7% in May, but it has risen since then. There has been a decent rebound in oil and metal prices in recent months, which has been a factor in the move higher in the PPI level. The industrial production metric took a knock on account of the health crisis, but its growth has been reasonably consistent in the last few months. Traders will be interested to see if the CPI and PPI rates continue to recover.
Dunelm full-year results
Thursday: In its fourth-quarter update in July, Dunelm announced that it expects full-year pre-tax profit to be £105 - £110m, which would be a fall from the £125.9m from last year. Full-year sales fell by 3.9% to £1.05bn. The health crisis prompted store closures, but the reopening process began in May. In the last quarter, online and home delivery sales surged by over 105%, offsetting the impact of the lockdown. It is estimated that social distancing and extra health and safety expenses are costing the firm roughly £150,000 per week. Technology costs are tipped to increase by £8m next year. Rising expenses is not ideal, but that is the price of doing business in this climate. The company said that it does not expect to tap into the Covid-19 corporate financing facility, and that sends out a positive message in relation to its financial stability. The retail environment remains uncertain, but at least Dunelm are well positioned to cope in changing circumstances. The stock has been driving higher since March so it appears that traders have high hopes for the announcement.
ECB rate decision
Thursday: The ECB is likely to keep its monetary policy on hold, with a refinancing rate of 0% and deposit rate at -0.5%. The pandemic emergency purchase programme (PEPP) is likely to remain at €1.35tn. In June, the bank increased the PEPP by €600bn, and the timeline for running the scheme was extended until mid-June 2021. The ECB meeting in July was reasonably uneventful, although it was revealed the rate at which it was buying bonds has tapered off a bit. In late July, EU member states managed to broker a deal in relation to the €750bn coronavirus rescue fund. The old divisions of the bloc resurfaced, whereby southern states such as Italy and Spain wanted to have a very high proportion of the fund to be dished out as grants, while northern members like the Netherlands, Austria and Finland were pushing for a higher percentage of loans to be distributed. In the end, it was agreed that €390bn will be issued as grants, while the initial proposal was for €500bn. €360bn worth of low-interest loans will be issued. The so-called 'frugal' group, which included the likes of the Netherlands, will receive larger rebates, and that's what led to the compromise. The ECB is likely to comment on the fact there was a cooling off in the latest services and manufacturing numbers from the major eurozone economies, in particular, Spain and France. The ECB is working on the basis that the ruling from the German constitutional court in regards to the bond buying scheme will not impact its stimulus package.
Morrisons half-year results
Thursday: Morrisons, like other supermarkets, saw a jump in activity at the height of the pandemic. In May, the firm revealed its first-quarter figures which covered the 14-week period from early February until mid-May. Like-for-like sales excluding fuel jumped by 5.7% in the timeframe, but in weeks 12 until 14, jumped by 10.8%. Morrisons announced that it was taking on 25,000 new members of staff to cope with the surge in demand. Workers were hired across the stores division, supply chain and online operation. It was announced that it would operate a click-and-collect service from almost 280 stores by mid-June. The group revealed its partnership with Deliveroo, whereby items could be delivered from 130 shops in as little as 30 minutes. In July, Kantar posted its report on the British supermarket sector. UK grocery sales increased by 16.9% in the 12 weeks until 12 July. Of the big four supermarkets, Morrisons outperformed as sales jumped by 17.4%, while Asda's sales only increased by 11% – the slowest rate of the big brands. The online grocer, Ocado, recorded a huge rise, over 45%.
Peloton Q4 results
Thursday: The stock price has enjoyed a bullish run lately as it has set all-time highs. The fitness group benefitted massively from the gym closures during lockdown. The firm sells spinning bikes for $2,245/£1,990, as well as treadmills for the US market at $4,295, and customers subscribe to classes remotely. The company listed on the stock market last September and the share price was largely range bound until March, when it took-off. The third-quarter update in May was well received, as revenue jumped by 66% to $524.6m, exceeding the $487.7m forecast. The loss per share was ¢20, while equity analysts were expecting the loss per shares to be ¢17. The company announced the loss was largely down to non-recurring legal costs. Subscription revenue jumped by 92% to $98.2m, and that equated to 19% of total revenue. The full-year subscription revenue outlook was upped to $1.72-$1.74 billion, up from between $1.53bn and $1.55bn. Over the past few months, the share price has pushed higher even though gyms around the world have reopened, so dealers are still clearly optimistic on the stock. It is possible that some Peloton clients will stay loyal to the service in light of paying such a high price for the equipment, but it is also likely that the company will be less optimistic in its outlook for 2021 as the surge in demand experienced in March and April is unlikely to be repeated.
US weekly jobless claims
Thursday: The US labour department has altered the way it measures the metric, so that it takes account of seasonal adjustments. Last week's figures were well-received, as the jobless claims reading was 881,000 – the lowest since lockdown crippled the economy. The continuing claims update fell to 13.25 million, down from 14.49 million. Economists were expecting a reading of 14 million. It's clear the labour market is improving, albeit at a slow pace. The employment components of the latest ISM manufacturing and non-manufacturing reports showed small increases, but remain stubbornly low.
UK GDP (July)
Friday: The UK government was relatively slow to lock down the economy, so the true impact of the shutdown wasn't seen until April, the first full month of the lockdown. The economy contracted by 20%, the largest negative reading on record. Since then, things have started to improve, as sections of the economy have reopened. The May and June monthly readings were 1.8% and 8.7% respectively, though the economy was coming from low bases. Roughly speaking, economic output is 17% below the pre-pandemic level. Pubs reopened in July, along with restaurants, hairdressers and barbers, so the reading should reflect a sizeable rise in economic activity. Approximately 80% of UK economic output comes from the services sector and the services PMI report for July was 60.1 – its fastest rate of expansion in years, but once again, coming from a low base. The property market has been upbeat recently too. According to Nationwide, annual house prices increased by 1.6% in July, and Halifax said there was a 3.8% increase on a yearly basis.
US CPI (August)
Friday: The July reading caught some economists by surprise by coming in at 1%, a sizeable increase on the 0.6% that was posted in June, and the consensus estimate was 0.8%. The core level was impressive too as it was 1.6%, and that was a big rise on the 1.2% registered in June. The fact the core reading also jumped suggests that underlying demand is strong. At the recent Jackson Hole Symposium, Jerome Powell, the Fed chair announced the bank has changed its inflation policy to an average target of 2%, from a fixed target of 2%. As a reaction to the pandemic, the Fed has embarked on an extremely loose monetary policy, and such a move means that higher inflation is a risk. Mr Powell, said the Fed would be happy to allow inflation to run over 2% for 'some time'. The time frame was left deliberately vague so they can change their policy as they go along. Seeing as the Fed are happy for inflation to overshoot the 2% mark, it suggests they feel that higher inflation is in the pipeline. It looks as if the central bank will be keeping interest rates close to zero for years to come, but they did make it clear they would be willing to change their policy should there be a big jump in inflation.

The Gold in These Hills
by Joanne Bischof
Narrated by Emily Sutton-Smith
One wild and mysterious ghost town. Two second-chance love stories. And the century-old legacy that binds them together.
Upon arriving in Kenworthy, California, mail-order bride Juniper Cohen is met by the pounding of the gold mine, an untamable landscape, and her greatest surprise of all: the kind and loving man who awaits her. But when the mine proves empty of profit, and when Juniper's husband, John, vanishes, Juniper is left to fend for herself and her young daughter in the dwindling boomtown that is now her home.
Juniper pens letters to her husband but fears she is waiting on a ghost. Perhaps worse, rumors abound claiming the man she loves could be an outlaw. Surviving in a ghost town requires trusting the kindness of a few remaining souls, including the one who can unlock the mystery of her husband's disappearance—and Juniper's survival depends not only upon these friends but also the strength of heart she must fight to maintain.
Present day. Trying to escape the heartache of his failed marriage, Johnny Sutherland throws himself into raising his children and restoring a hundred-year-old abandoned farmhouse in what was once known as Kenworthy, California, in the San Jacinto Mountains. While exploring its secrets he uncovers Juniper's letters and is moved by the handwritten accounts that bear his name—and as a love story from the past touches his own world, Johnny might discover yet that hope and resilience go hand in hand.
With The Gold in These Hills, acclaimed and beloved author Joanne Bischof returns with an absorbing masterpiece of faith, perseverance, and love that changes the course of history.
