Saul Takes His Life
10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. 3 The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him.
4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and abuse me."
But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. 5 When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died. 6 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.
7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 They stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news among their idols and their people. 10 They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung up his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all their valiant men went and took the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones under the great tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
13 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord; he did not keep the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium for guidance, 14 and did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
David Becomes King Over Israel
11 All Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, "We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the Lord your God said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.'"
3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel.
David Conquers Jerusalem
4 David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites who lived there 5 said to David, "You will not get in here." Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.
6 David had said, "Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander-in-chief." Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command.
7 David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David. 8 He built up the city around it, from the terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. 9 And David became more and more powerful, because the Lord Almighty was with him.
David's Mighty Warriors
10 These were the chiefs of David's mighty warriors—they, together with all Israel, gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised— 11 this is the list of David's mighty warriors:
Jashobeam, a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter.
12 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty warriors. 13 He was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At a place where there was a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines. 14 But they took their stand in the middle of the field. They defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory.
15 Three of the thirty chiefs came down to David to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. 16 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. 17 David longed for water and said, "Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!" 18 So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the Lord. 19 "God forbid that I should do this!" he said. "Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?" Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it.
Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.
20 Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. 21 He was doubly honored above the Three and became their commander, even though he was not included among them.
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab's two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 23 And he struck down an Egyptian who was five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver's rod in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear. 24 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. 25 He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
26 The mighty warriors were:
Asahel the brother of Joab,
Elhanan son of Dodo from Bethlehem,
27 Shammoth the Harorite,
Helez the Pelonite,
28 Ira son of Ikkesh from Tekoa,
Abiezer from Anathoth,
29 Sibbekai the Hushathite,

30 Maharai the Netophathite,

31 Ithai son of Ribai from Gibeah in Benjamin,
Benaiah the Pirathonite,
32 Hurai from the ravines of Gaash,
Abiel the Arbathite,
33 Azmaveth the Baharumite,
Eliahba the Shaalbonite,
34 the sons of Hashem the Gizonite,
Jonathan son of Shagee the Hararite,
35 Ahiam son of Sakar the Hararite,
Eliphal son of Ur,
36 Hepher the Mekerathite,
Ahijah the Pelonite,
37 Hezro the Carmelite,
Naarai son of Ezbai,
38 Joel the brother of Nathan,
Mibhar son of Hagri,
39 Zelek the Ammonite,
Naharai the Berothite, the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah,
40 Ira the Ithrite,
Gareb the Ithrite,
41 Uriah the Hittite,
Zabad son of Ahlai,
42 Adina son of Shiza the Reubenite, who was chief of the Reubenites, and the thirty with him,
43 Hanan son of Maakah,
Joshaphat the Mithnite,
44 Uzzia the Ashterathite,
Shama and Jeiel the sons of Hotham the Aroerite,
45 Jediael son of Shimri,
his brother Joha the Tizite,
46 Eliel the Mahavite,
Jeribai and Joshaviah the sons of Elnaam,
Ithmah the Moabite,
47 Eliel, Obed and Jaasiel the Mezobaite.
Warriors Join David
12 These were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; 2 they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed; they were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin):
3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, 4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite, 5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6 Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; 7 and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
8 Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles in the mountains.
9 Ezer was the chief,
Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth and Makbannai the eleventh.
14 These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand. 15 It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, "If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you."
18 Then the Spirit came on Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said:
"We are yours, David!
We are with you, son of Jesse!
Success, success to you,
and success to those who help you,
for your God will help you."
So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands.
19 Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, "It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.") 20 When David went to Ziklag, these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. 22 Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.
Others Join David at Hebron
23 These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul's kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said:
24 from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle;
25 from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100;
26 from Levi—4,600, 27 including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men, 28 and Zadok, a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;
29 from Benjamin, Saul's tribe—3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul's house until then;
30 from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800;
31 from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000;
32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;
33 from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000;
34 from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;
35 from Dan, ready for battle—28,600;
36 from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000;
37 and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000.
38 All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king. 39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, for their families had supplied provisions for them. 40 Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisin cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy in Israel.

45 It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53 Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever." 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Many Disciples Desert Jesus
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them."
66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
67 "You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God."
70 Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!" 71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)

As a Phoenix, Arizona bankruptcy attorney I talk to quite a few people. Many of them have the common misconception that if they were to file bankruptcy they would lose everything that they own. This is not the case. The bankruptcy code provides that debtors may keep certain property that they own. The property a debtor is able to keep is known as exempt property. All of 11 U.S.C. § 522 deals with exemptions. The bankruptcy code provides for a federal bankruptcy exemption scheme. It also allows states to opt out of the federal scheme in favor of their own scheme. Arizona has opted out of the federal scheme as shown in A.R.S. 33-1133(B). This means that if you file your bankruptcy in Arizona more than likely you will have to use the exemptions provided by Arizona.
So how do you tell whether state or federal exemptions will be used in your case? If you have lived in Arizona for the last 730 days you must use Arizona's exemptions. If you have not lived in Arizona for the last 730 days you must use the exemptions of the state where you lived for the 180 days prior to the 730 days. If you didn't live in one place for the 180 days you would use the exemptions of the state where you lived for the greater part of that 180 days. 11 U.S.C. § 522(b)(3)(A). Some states require you to be a resident of that state to use its exemptions. If you are required by the bankruptcy code to use such a state's exemptions, it might make you ineligible for any exemption. In that case, you may use the federal bankruptcy exemptions. 11 U.S.C. § 522(b)(3). Since this law firm operates in Phoenix, Arizona, this article will be limited to Arizona exemptions.
Most of Arizona exemptions are found in Title 33 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. However some are "hidden" in other areas. Some of the more common property exemptions include a homestead, a motor vehicle, a bank account, wages and household goods and furnishings. Let's discuss some of the Arizona exemptions.
If you own your residence you'll be happy to know that Arizona allows for a $150,000.00 homestead exemption. To qualify for this exemption, the property must be your "interest in real property in one compact body upon which exists a dwelling house in which the person resides, interest in one condominium or cooperative in which the person resides, a mobile home in which the person resides or a mobile home in which the person resides plus the land upon which that mobile home is located." A.R.S. 33-1101. This exemption applies only if you reside in the property. There is no exemption for rental or commercial property. Notice that it allows for your "interest". To calculate your interest you will deduct any liens that are secured by the homestead. Your interest would be the value of the homestead minus any liens against the property.
Another common concern that debtors have is their transportation. In Phoenix, most people have a private vehicle for their transportation. Arizona allows a $5,000.00 exemption in a motor vehicle, per person filing. A.R.S. 33-1125(8). This can be combined in one vehicle or divided between two vehicles. A.R.S. 33-1121.01. If you are married, you would have a $10,000.00 combined exemption in one car or $5000.00 in each of two cars. If a person is physically disabled their allowed exemption in a motor vehicle increases from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00. Again, this allowance is your interest in the property. If you have a lien against the property, you would deduct that from the value of the property to determine your interest.
Bank accounts are another exemption that concerns almost everyone filing a bankruptcy. Arizona allows $150.00 per person in a single bank account. A.R.S. 33-1126(9). This exemption is also given on a per person basis. So, a married couple can combine their exemptions to $300.00 in one account or separate them into two accounts and have a $150.00 exemption each.
· 2 beds, with bedding, plus 1 bed for each dependant.

Involvement of organized crime in legal cannabis preventable
Legalizing recreational cannabis was supposed to end organized crime's control over the cannabis industry. But without a public registry of beneficial owners and publicly operated stores, we have no way of knowing what's happening.

Tsunami Preparedness - Saving Lives and Protecting Property
Ryan Arba is the branch chief for the Cal OES Earthquake and Tsunami Program. In this episode, Ryan talks about the program, its federal partner NOAA and the focus of this year's Tsunami Preparedness Week events.
The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, Earthquake, Tsunami and Volcano Program is continuously researching, learning, and collaborating with science, industry, and academic experts to develop and confirm the latest, best available knowledge base to help make California's residents and visitors safer in the event of tsunamic activity. By mapping potential inundation and evacuation areas, providing assistance in response and evacuation planning, implementing outreach, education and warning signage at the coast, as well as determining ways to improve preparedness and resilience of California's ports and harbors, our staff strives to ensure everyone on the coast remains safe before, during and after the next tsunami.
Catastrophic tsunamis are rare, we may have a tendency to get complacent and think that one will never happen while we're at the beach. However, every coastline in the world is vulnerable to a tsunami. Although a tsunami cannot be prevented, you can diminish adverse impacts through community preparedness, timely warnings and effective response.
California's 2017 Tsunami Preparedness Week is March 27-31. On March 29, Cal OES, the California Geological Survey (CGS) and the NWS will conduct a conference call with emergency managers from counties along the coast to test several aspects of the tsunami response, including the ability of the National Tsunami Warning Center (NTWC) to send and coast emergency organizations to receive specific tsunami alert messages.
During the conference call, representatives from the NTWC, Cal OES and CGS will also test their ability to accurately calculate and verify information contained in draft Tsunami Evacuation Playbooks that will be used by local emergency to determine if an evacuation is necessary and, if show, for how big of an area. The test also allows emergency managers from coastal communities to confirm their ability to receive playbook-related information, test their ability to make decisions regarding evacuation, and as well as to test their abilities to communicate information to port and harbor officials as well as to test their reverse notification and other warning systems reaching people in coastal hazard areas.

Follow This Beauty Hero Giving Hope to the Hopeless
by Anne Moratto | February 20, 2020
"I was super excited to speak to young students. Some are already working on their own beauty products, some are self-taught makeup artists. When I left the school all I could think of was how can I help them stay motivated in such an environment."
A selfie with the team at the Luxor Spa in Nigeria.
Maisie Dunbar, doing what she loves.
Next time you need a little pick-me-up, or you start to doubt the power beauty has to transform lives, go follow the work of Global Beauty Ambassador, Maisie Dunbar. A cosmetologist (who has specialized in nail care), salon owner, product developer, motivational speaker and trainer, Dunbar has been uplifting the professional beauty industry for years with her vibrant, positive presence. And today she is taking her good energy around the world, especially to her native Africa, where she has made it her mission to help lift men and women out of poverty by leading them to a career in beauty.
Just before she returns to Ghana (and then travels on to Nigeria and Gambia), we spoke to Dunbar, a native Liberian, about how she is offering a promise of a brighter future to so many through her talks, teaching, and training.
"My purpose is to give hope to the hopeless, and it has been an amazing journey," she says on a call from her home base in Silver Springs, MD. "When I visit homes in Africa with no electricity, no running water, and meet people making impossible choices just to survive, I know that I am no different than they are but I have been given opportunities that they haven't. And I want to make every place better than it was when I arrived. I want to help by showing them a way up through a life in beauty."
Three years ago in Liberia, she found a young man doing nails by the side of the road. Dunbar approached him, and has since mentored him, so that today he is saving money, and putting plans in place to become a manicurist on cruise ships. "I once saw a guy pull up on his bicycle, at a rest stop, with eyelashes and glue in his back pocket. I watched him do a woman's eyelashes right there—no sanitation whatsoever—and when he was done, he got on his bike and rode away, to his next appointment. But these are people with real skills and a desire to be better; they just need to have some guidance and fine-tuning."
To that end, she has worked with a spa in Nigeria to train the staff and management team on best practices. She is also helping create standards and design a curriculum for a cosmetology school in Nigeria. "I want to duplicate this in each African country where I have contacts. They all need some kind of standards."
Dunbar has been able to put beauty products in the hands of grateful students, thanks to product donations from Paul Mitchell, Zoya and Kupa. "I see hope in their eyes when they receive these products which would have otherwise been very hard for them to come by."
At a workshop in Nigeria, Dunbar spoke to a room of aspiring beauty professionals, sharing her own career path. She offered to give away an electric nail file to someone who would answer a question and two hands went up. The young girl who received the file started crying… and then the girl who'd also put up her hand, also started crying.
"I asked each of them, 'why are you crying?'" Dunbar says. "The girl who won the file said she had been there all day, waiting to hear me (I was supposed to go on at 11:00 and it was now 5:30) and that she had borrowed the money to be able to come. This nail file, she said, would completely change how she was able to do nails and service her clients. And then I asked the girl who didn't win the file, 'why are you crying?' and she said, 'I'm not a manicurist, I'm a hairstylist, but something told me to put up my hand and if I had won, I was going to give the nail file to her, the girl who did win.' It was so moving. And if I didn't commit to making these trips—which are expensive and often hard—I would have missed this moment, this chance to sow a seed of hope into someone's life."

Pop culture is an ever-evolving concept and has become increasingly popular. It refers to popular trends and activities across different cultures and age groups and is often associated with music, film, and fashion.
The title track of the pop culture phenomenon is one of the essential elements of the cultural movement. It can set the tone and shape the overall message of the trend or moment. It serves as a rallying cry, a call to arms, or a way to express and share the feelings and values of the people who are part of the culture.
Pop culture title tracks typically come from famous and respected musicians, although they can also come from lesser-known artists or bands. They generally have a catchy chorus, a memorable hook, and a powerful message. In some cases, the title tracks are covers of existing songs adapted to fit the theme of the moment.
The title track of a pop culture movement can unite people, provide a rallying cry for those who are part of it and celebrate the moment. It can also challenge cultural norms, push boundaries, and inspire others to join the movement.
These tracks are often heard in movies, television shows, and other media, and they can be used to communicate a message or to create a mood. They can also evoke nostalgia, remind listeners of a particular moment, or celebrate it.
Pop culture title tracks can also be used to explore the relationships between different cultures or groups, to explore the impact of technology on culture, or to examine the influence of popular culture on our everyday lives. By exploring these topics, the title track of a pop culture moment can help us understand how we live and think in our current society.

Unpacking Cross-Border E-Commerce with IPC
Cross-border e-commerce has changed tremendously in recent years and keeping up with market variations has never been easy.
Founded in 1989, the International Post Corporation (IPC) is dedicated to "helping postal operators achieve profitable growth through market knowledge and innovation." As part of their efforts to continuously improve their postal services, the team has launched a series of Cross-Border E-Commerce Shopper surveys to provide insight into consumer preferences and experiences around the world.
In the latest episode of the "Unpacking E-commerce Logistics'' series, we sat down with Holger Winklbauer, Chief Executive Officer of the IPC. Being a senior executive of experience in strategy development and having held several executive positions within the HR for more than a decade prior to IPC, he answered all our queries regarding cross-border e-commerce as well as the IPC's latest survey.
What Is IPC Cross-Border E-Commerce Shopper Survey?
According to Holger, IPC has long been doing market research for members in several countries. The Cross-Border E-Commerce Shopper survey, in particular, involves asking consumers who utilize cross-border shipping services about their past experiences. They did it in a cost efficient way, starting small with a few countries, subsequently piloting it and finally getting the final results.
Holger said that in the 2016 edition, they launched the survey in 26 countries and there were approximately 24 thousand consumers who participated in it. The survey as a whole focuses on questions around sustainability, dispute, resolution, and also the timing of the various postal services. This offers IPC an overview of their service quality as well as the customer satisfaction levels. In the 2020 survey, they also investigated the influences of the COVID-19 on the shipping experience.
The Evolution of the Cross-Border E-Commerce Shopper Survey
Domestic Retailers Expansion
In Holger's view, there are two prominent trends in the e-commerce market nowadays. First and foremost, the share of e-commerce shopping has increased significantly in comparison to the entire commerce. More and more consumers have been choosing to purchase online instead of the traditional way, which has been shown clearly in many reports. Holger also mentioned the complexity when delivering products from China. Based on his observations, it would take a long time to ship a product from China to other areas, even several weeks, especially during the peak-COVID period. Tax burden and capital capacity going down are also the reasons facilitating the growth of domestic retailers.
Moreover, according to the survey, customers nowadays do not pay much attention to the origin of products anymore. Instead, they just want to know when their order will be delivered and they would be happy if it is as fast as possible.
Variations in Customer Behavior
Germany, China, UK and US have been the four biggest e-commerce exporters in the world but now, 3 of them lost their share (China, UK and US). Meanwhile, Germany has seen a slight increase in recent years. In fact, in Europe, Germany has many neighboring countries which enables them to reach and connect with other nations better. Besides, as Holger mentioned above, duties and taxes changes also made it more complicated for the US and China to deliver goods on time.
Advice for Cross-Border E-Commerce Retailers
The first thing Holger highlighted when a company wants to sell internationally is that they need to have quality delivery service. Companies need to develop various ways to facilitate the shipping experience of customers, such as delivering goods to your home or delivering it to neighbors, lock house or a pickup point in case receiver is absent. Secondly, companies need to ensure the delivery speed as consumers always hope to receive their products as soon as possible.

No evidence of Borrelia mayonii in an endemic area for Lyme borreliosis in France

Borrelia mayonii is currently the latest species belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) complex to be discovered. Interestingly it is involved in human pathology causing a high fever. We looked for its presence in post- tick bite febrile patients as well as in Ixodes ricinus ticks in an endemic area of France.
After ensuring that our molecular technics correctly detected B. mayonii, 575 patients and 3,122 Ixodes ricinus nymphs were tested. Neither B. mayonii nor another species of the B. burgdorferi (s.l.) complex previously not reported in Europe has been identified.
For now, B. mayonii seems to be an epiphenomenon. However, its discovery broadens the etiology of post-Ixodes bite febrile syndromes.
Lyme borreliosis is reported as the most common tick-borne disease in the United States [1] and all the northern hemisphere. Since the early research of Baranton and colleagues [2], several species belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) (s.l.) complex have been described. Four are currently the main etiological agents of human Lyme borreliosis in Europe [1], and Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu stricto) (s.s.) was considered for a long time as the only species isolated from human clinical samples on the American continent [3, 4]. The recent discovery of Borrelia mayonii [4] questions this idea. This newly identified bacterium seems to display unusual clinical characteristics. Unlike the other species of the B. burgdorferi (s.l.) complex, uncommonly high fever due to unusual high spirochetemia as well as cutaneous rashes was observed in patients infected by B. mayonii [4]. It is, therefore, the first time that a member of the B. burgdorferi (s.l.) complex had been shown to induce high fever as reported for relapsing fever Borrelia, thus expanding the field of symptoms found in Lyme borreliosis. We, therefore, investigated its potential presence in patients presenting with fever after a suspicion of tick bite in Alsace, a French region endemic for Lyme borreliosis [5], and also in Ixodes ricinus, the vector of B. burgdorferi (s.l.) in western Europe [1].
DNA extracts from whole blood samples of 575 febrile patients sent to our laboratory between January 2010 and July 2016 were studied. All patients included in this study hailed from northeastern France and developed either a fever above 38 °C within three weeks after a tick bite or fever of unknown origin with exposure to a tick bite in an endemic area of Lyme borreliosis during spring and summer (April to October). All the subjects enrolled in this study completed a written informed consent. In parallel, 3,122 I. ricinus questing nymphs collected monthly by flagging in four separate locations in Alsace from April 2013 to December 2015, were investigated.
Both patients and ticks were tested for B. burgdorferi (s.l.) using an in-house Taqman® real-time PCR assay [6], targeting a conserved region of the flagellin gene (fla) of the B. burgdorferi (s.l.) complex. Borrelia turdii whole DNA at a concentration of 1 pg/μl was used as a positive control. The genotyping of B. burgdorferi (s.l.) species was performed on positive samples with another real-time PCR assay using hybridization probes targeting species-specific regions of the fla gene [6]. To ascertain that the techniques correctly detect B. mayonii, we firstly aligned our primers and probes in silico with the 476 bp fragment of the corresponding fla gene (GenBank KR154295.1). Then, the B. mayonii type strain ATCC BAA 2743 was cultured in the BSK-H medium (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Quentin Fallavier, France). Borrelia mayonii whole DNA was extracted with the MagNA Pure system (Roche Diagnostics, Meylan, France). After extraction, DNA concentration was measured by NanoDrop 1000 Fluorospectrometer (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Villebon sur Yvette, France). To evaluate the sensitivity of our technique, a dilution range was tested.
Analyses of results showed that B. mayonii was correctly detected by our B. burgdorferi (s.l.) PCR assay up to a concentration of 2 bacteria/μL; similar results were found with the main pathogenic species. Moreover, B. mayonii is never misidentified by our typing assay and amplicon sequencing would have confirmed B. mayonii identification. Only one out of the 575 blood samples tested from the post-tick bite febrile patients was positive for B. burgdorferi (s.l.). This sample was further identified as being B. afzelii by our typing assay and confirmed by sequencing. Interestingly, this patient had a co-infection with the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEv). He had, without previous vaccination, anti-TBEv IgG and IgM and thus met the ECDC Laboratory criteria for a confirmed TBE case [7]. On another serum tested one month later, the anti-TBEv IgM had disappeared. The involvement of B. afzelii in clinical manifestations of this patient is questionable since TBEv infection is known to induce fever and headache [8]. Among the 3,122 tested nymphs, 12.7% were infected with B. burgdorferi (s.l.), and only Borrelia species commonly found in this area were identified, such as B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. burgdorferi (s.s.). All ticks were negative for B. mayonii, and no other Borrelia species was identified.
The discovery of B. mayonii questions the paradigm of the absence of fever in Lyme disease. Considered as unusual [1, 9,10,11], high fever is not a cardinal symptom of Lyme disease, but three out of the six patients previously described by Pritt and colleagues [4] had fever above 38 °C with even two exceeding 39 °C. This new clinical picture broadens the symptom spectrum of Lyme disease, justifying the extension of investigation to an additional member of the B. burgdorferi (s.l.) complex in febrile patients in France. Neither B. mayonii nor another new species of the B. burgdorferi (s.l.) complex has been identified in our patient cohort. For now, B. mayonii should be considered an epiphenomenon [4]. The vector competence of Ixodes scapularis has been clearly demonstrated [12], but the competence of I. ricinus and I. persulcatus for this new Borrelia species, remains to be proven. Nevertheless, potential new members of the B. burgdorferi (s.l.) complex could be responsible for high fever and should be included in post-tick bite febrile syndrome active surveillance. This new pathogen monitoring should be initiated on European, Asian and American continents along with other etiological agents of post-tick bite fever.

Church of England pays damages over abuse claims
duration 7 July 2010
image captionTeresa Cooper claims she faced physical and sexual abuse
The Church of England has paid substantial damages to a woman who claims she was forcibly drugged and sexually abused whilst in the care of a church-run children's home.
Teresa Cooper, 43, has spent the past 18 years trying to expose what she said happened in the home in the 1980s.
Ms Cooper said her time in the church-run Kendal House children's home in Gravesend, Kent, was a "nightmare".
In agreeing an out-of-court settlement the Church has not accepted liability.
Ms Cooper arrived when she was 14 and over the next three years says she faced physical and sexual abuse, as well as being forcibly medicated with high doses of drugs.
'Move forward'
A BBC investigation last year examined her detailed notes and found over 32 months she was given drugs on more than 1,200 occasions. They included major tranquilisers, anti-depressants and drugs to counteract side-effects.
The home closed in 1986.
The Diocese of Rochester said there was no admission of liability, but it hoped the settlement would help Ms Cooper move forward.
In a statement it said: "In reaching the settlement, no admissions of liability were made.
"It is our fervent hope that the terms of the settlement agreed will assist Teresa Cooper move forward with her life."
Despite the out-of-court settlement, the woman still wants an investigation into why she and 18 other girls who she believes were also drugged at the home, have had children with birth defects.
She said: "I want to make sure the Church of England understands and publicly acknowledges what happened to me and dozens of other girls at Kendal House and I would like to see a genuine Christian will to help others who suffered like me.
"Anything less will be seen as an attempt to brush the scandal under the carpet in a cynical damage limitation exercise."

Q: cURL post not working PHP I'm having trouble using cURL for a specific page.
A live code working: http://svgen.com/jupiter.php
Here is my code:
    $url = 'https://uspdigital.usp.br/jupiterweb/autenticar';

    $data = array('codpes' => 'someLogin', 'senusu' => 'somePass', 'Submit' => '1');
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "FileHere");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "FileHere");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, CURLPROTO_HTTP);
    curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

Although I had used the same url and post data, file_get_contents worked:
    $options = array('http' => array('method'  => 'POST','content' => http_build_query($data)));
    $context  = stream_context_create($options);
    $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);

    var_dump($result);

Someone could help me?
Thanks.

A: $data = array('codpes' => 'someLogin', 'senusu' => 'somePass', 'Submit' => '1');

should have been
$data = http_build_query(array('codpes' => 'someLogin', 'senusu' => 'somePass', 'Submit' => '1'));

It automatically url encodes your query string as well and is safer than manual methods..

A: make your post data as:
$data = array('codpes' => 'someLogin', 'senusu' => 'somePass', 'Submit' => '1');
$postData = "";
foreach( $data as $key => $val ) {
   $postData .=$key."=".$val."&";
}
$postData = rtrim($postData, "&");

and change:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

to
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);

A: Try these:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, '/etc/pki/tls/cert.pem'); // path is valid for RHEL/CentOS

This makes sure the resource you're "curling" has a valid SSL certificate. It is not recommended to set "CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER" to false (0).

A: Most probably it is the SSL verification problem.
Add
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);

Also if you use CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS option, it should be HTTPS since you are posting to a secure url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, CURLPROTO_HTTPS);    // you currently have http

A: You're on a secure connection, why are you using :
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, CURLPROTO_HTTP);

Use instead :
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, CURLPROTO_HTTPS);

i read something somewhere about someone who got their robot and andriod phone to communicate with each other to a point that the guy could use his android phone to control his robot...i would like some kind bored soul to post ths line of code and instructions becuase i have searched forever and i cant find anything on the matter...THANK YOU!
okay, so i succesfully got my NXT to recignize and connect to my phone that uses an app and enterd all the data correctly (i hope) and it still isnt working...also what is the signifigance of bluetooth compatability on the NXT? i always thught a bluetooth is something you talk into for a phone call but its looking more liek anyhting that is remotly used is bluetooth...can someone elaborate please?
Here is a very simplified explanation. There is something call Bluetooth profile. Bluetooth provides a low bandwidth communication channel at short distance. The profile specifies high level protocol that is using this communication channel. There is the hand-free profile for using with cell phones. There is also a serial port profile. That's what NXT is using.
and is that file defaulted and already loaded into the nxt?
Profile is not a "file". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile for an explanation. I believe the NXT supports the serial port profile (SPP). In the simplest term, the NXT Bluetooth reports itself as a serial port. When the Bluetooth driver on the PC sees a Bluetooth serial port, it creates a COM port for it. Applications such as RobotC can then open the "serial port" and communicates with it using serial protocol.
First, how do you use your phone to control the robot? Do you have a phone app for it? Connecting to the robot does nothing until some app sends joystick events to the robot. If you don't have a specific NXT Bluetooth phone app, that could be your problem.
in order to control the robot with bluetooth do i need it to work with remote control and connect to the wifi?
and i assume that the codes we have for remote control will also work with the bluetooth thing?
Yes, you can do teleop remote controlling the robot either via Bluetooth or WiFi. Our team uses Bluetooth when testing and practicing with the robot. There is no difference in the code whether you are using Bluetooth or WiFi.
so then about the app...how do i get the thing to work?
do i start up the tele-op code, then try to make it go forward and stuff?
I do not have an Android phone and I have never tried the app you mentioned. So it would be a little difficult for me to know how to make that app work with the NXT. Is your robot program written with the FTC competition template? If so, your problem may be in the waitForStart statement. This makes the robot wait for FCS (Field Control System) to send the "Start" signal to all the robots in the field. If you are controlling it using your android phone, I suspect it doesn't send the "start" signal. If that's really the case, you can remove the waitForStart line from you code and it should allow you robot to receive joystick messages from your phone.
Are you still talking about using the Android phone or are you talking about a real joystick (or game controller) that hooks to your laptop and your laptop is communicating with the NXT via Bluetooth?
