Saul Chosen to Be King
9 There was a man of Benjamin whose name was fKish, the son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Becorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjaminite, a man of wealth. 2 And he had a son whose name was Saul, ga handsome young man. There was not a man among the people of Israel more handsome than he. hFrom his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.
3 Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. So Kish said to Saul his son, "Take one of the young men with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys." 4 And he passed through ithe hill country of Ephraim and passed through the land of jShalishah, but they did not find them. And they passed through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then they passed through the land of Benjamin, but did not find them.
5 When they came to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant1 who was with him, "Come, let us go back, klest my father cease to care about the donkeys and become anxious about us." 6 But he said to him, "Behold, there is la man of God in this city, and he is a man who is held in honor; mall that he says comes true. So now let us go there. Perhaps he can tell us the way we should go." 7 Then Saul said to his servant, "But if we go, nwhat can we bring the man? For the bread in our sacks is gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?" 8 The servant answered Saul again, "Here, I have with me a quarter of a shekel2 of silver, and I will give it to the man of God to tell us our way." 9 (Formerly in Israel, when a man owent to inquire of God, he said, "Come, let us go to the seer," for today's "prophet" was formerly called a seer.) 10 And Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.
11 As they went up the hill to the city, pthey met young women coming out to draw water and said to them, "Is the seer here?" 12 They answered, "He is; behold, he is just ahead of you. Hurry. He has come just now to the city, because the people qhave a sacrifice today on rthe high place. 13 As soon as you enter the city you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat till he comes, since he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now go up, for you will meet him immediately." 14 So they went up to the city. As they were entering the city, they saw Samuel coming out toward them on his way up to the high place.
15 Now the day before Saul came, sthe Lord had trevealed to Samuel: 16 "Tomorrow about this time I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, uand you shall anoint him to be prince3 over my people Israel. He shall save my people from the hand of the Philistines. vFor I have seen4 my people, because their cry has come to me." 17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, w"Here is the man of whom I spoke to you! He it is who shall restrain my people." 18 Then Saul approached Samuel in the gate and said, "Tell me where is the house of the seer?" 19 Samuel answered Saul, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for today you shall eat with me, and in the morning I will let you go and will tell you all that is on your mind. 20 xAs for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father's house?" 21 Saul answered, "Am I not a Benjaminite, yfrom the least of the tribes of Israel? zAnd is not my clan the humblest of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then have you spoken to me in this way?"
22 Then Samuel took Saul and his young man and brought them into the hall and gave them a place at the head of those who had been invited, who were about thirty persons. 23 And Samuel said to the cook, "Bring the portion I gave you, of which I said to you, 'Put it aside.'" 24 So the cook took up athe leg and what was on it and set them before Saul. And Samuel said, "See, what was kept is set before you. Eat, because it was kept for you until the hour appointed, that you might eat with the guests."5
So Saul ate with Samuel that day. 25 And when they came down from the high place into the city, a bed was spread for Saul bon the roof, and he lay down to sleep.6 26 Then at the break of dawn7 Samuel called to Saul on the roof, "Up, that I may send you on your way." So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went out into the street.
27 As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to pass on before us, and when he has passed on, stop here yourself for a while, that I may make known to you the word of God."
Saul Anointed King
10 cThen Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head dand kissed him and said, "Has not the Lord anointed you to be prince1 over ehis people Israel? And you shall reign over the people of the Lord and you will save them from the hand of their surrounding enemies. And this shall be the sign to you that the Lord has anointed you to be prince2 over his heritage. 2 When you depart from me today, you will meet two men by fRachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, g'The donkeys that you went to seek are found, and now hyour father has ceased to care about the donkeys and is anxious about you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"' 3 Then you shall go on from there farther and come to the ioak of Tabor. Three men jgoing up kto God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine. 4 And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall accept from their hand. 5 After that you shall come to lGibeath-elohim,3 mwhere there is a garrison of the Philistines. And there, as soon as you come to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down nfrom the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying. 6 oThen the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, pand you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. 7 Now when qthese signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do, rfor God is with you. 8 Then go down before me sto Gilgal. And behold, I am coming down to you to offer burnt offerings and tto sacrifice peace offerings. uSeven days you shall wait, until I come to you and show you what you shall do."
9 When he turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all these signs came to pass that day. 10 When they came to vGibeah,4 behold, a group of prophets met him, oand the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them. 11 And when all who knew him previously saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish? wIs Saul also among the prophets?" 12 And a man of the place answered, x"And who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, w"Is Saul also among the prophets?" 13 When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 ySaul's uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, z"To seek the donkeys. And when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel." 15 And Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you." 16 And Saul said to his uncle, a"He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found." But about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him anything.
Saul Proclaimed King
17 Now Samuel called the people together bto the Lord cat Mizpah. 18 And he said to the people of Israel, d"Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.' 19 eBut today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses, and you have said to him, 'Set a king over us.' Now therefore fpresent yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands."
20 Then Samuel gbrought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot. 21 He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its clans, and the clan of the Matrites was taken by lot;5 and Saul the son of Kish was taken by lot. But when they sought him, he could not be found. 22 hSo they inquired again of the Lord, "Is there a man still to come?" and the Lord said, "Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage." 23 Then they ran and took him from there. And when he stood among the people, ihe was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward. 24 And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him jwhom the Lord has chosen? There is none like him among all the people." And all the people shouted, k"Long live the king!"
25 Then Samuel told the people lthe rights and duties of the kingship, and he wrote them in a book and laid it up before the Lord. Then Samuel sent all the people away, each one to his home. 26 Saul also went to his home mat Gibeah, and with him went men of valor whose hearts God had touched. 27 But some nworthless fellows said, "How can this man save us?" And they despised him and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
Saul Defeats the Ammonites
11 oThen Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged pJabesh-gilead, and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, q"Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you." 2 But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, "On this condition I will make a treaty with you, rthat I gouge out all your right eyes, and thus sbring disgrace on all Israel." 3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Give us seven days' respite that we may send messengers through all the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will give ourselves up to you." 4 When the messengers came to tGibeah of Saul, they reported the matter in the ears of the people, uand all the people wept aloud.
5 Now, behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen. And Saul said, "What is wrong with the people, that they are weeping?" So they told him the news of the men of Jabesh. 6 vAnd the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled. 7 He took a yoke of oxen wand cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of the messengers, saying, x"Whoever does not come out after Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen!" Then the dread of the Lord fell upon the people, and they came out yas one man. 8 When he mustered them at zBezek, athe people of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 9 And they said to the messengers who had come, "Thus shall you say to the men of Jabesh-gilead: 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have bsalvation.'" When the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh, they were glad. 10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, c"Tomorrow we will give ourselves up to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you." 11 dAnd the next day Saul put the people ein three companies. And they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch and struck down the Ammonites until the heat of the day. And those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
The Kingdom Is Renewed
12 Then the people said to Samuel, f"Who is it that said, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' gBring the men, that we may put them to death." 13 But Saul said, h"Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today ithe Lord has worked jsalvation in Israel." 14 Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and there renew the kingdom." 15 So all the people went to kGilgal, and there they made Saul king lbefore the Lord in Gilgal. There mthey sacrificed peace offerings before the Lord, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
Samuel's Farewell Address
12 And Samuel said to all Israel, "Behold, I have obeyed nyour voice in all that you have said to me oand have made a king over you. 2 And now, behold, the king pwalks before you, qand I am old and gray; and behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth until this day. 3 Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and before rhis anointed. sWhose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? Testify against me1 and I will restore it to you." 4 They said, "You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man's hand." 5 And he said to them, "The Lord is witness against you, and rhis anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything tin my hand." And they said, "He is witness."
6 And Samuel said to the people, u"The Lord is witness,2 who appointed Moses and Aaron and brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. 7 Now therefore stand still that I may plead with you before the Lord concerning all the righteous deeds of the Lord that he performed for you and for your fathers. 8 vWhen Jacob went into Egypt, and the Egyptians oppressed them,3 wthen your fathers cried out to the Lord and xthe Lord sent Moses and Aaron, ywho brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place. 9 But zthey forgot the Lord their God. aAnd he sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor,4 band into the hand of the Philistines, cand into the hand of the king of Moab. And they fought against them. 10 dAnd they cried out to the Lord and said, 'We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord eand have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. But now fdeliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve you.' 11 And the Lord sent gJerubbaal hand Barak5 iand Jephthah and jSamuel and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and you lived in safety. 12 And when you saw that kNahash the king of the Ammonites came against you, lyou said to me, 'No, but a king shall reign over us,' mwhen the Lord your God was your king. 13 And now nbehold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, othe Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you will pfear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. 15 But qif you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then rthe hand of the Lord will be against you and syour king.6 16 Now therefore tstand still and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes. 17 uIs it not wheat harvest today? vI will call upon the Lord, that he may send thunder and rain. And you shall know and see that wyour wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking for yourselves a king." 18 So Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day, xand all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 And all the people said to Samuel, y"Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king." 20 And Samuel said to the people, "Do not be afraid; you have done all this evil. Yet zdo not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. 21 And zdo not turn aside after aempty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty. 22 bFor the Lord will not forsake his people, cfor his great name's sake, because dit has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself. 23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing eto pray for you, fand I will instruct you in the good and the right way. 24 gOnly fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider hwhat great things he has done for you. 25 But if you still do wickedly, iyou shall be swept away, jboth you and your king."
Saul Fights the Philistines
13 Saul lived for one year and then became king, and when he had reigned for two years over Israel,1 2 Saul chose three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in kMichmash and the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in lGibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent home, every man to his tent. 3 Jonathan defeated mthe garrison of the Philistines that was nat Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul oblew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear." 4 And all Israel heard it said that Saul had defeated the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become a stench to the Philistines. And the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines mustered to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen and troops plike the sand on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of qBeth-aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were hard pressed), the people hid themselves rin caves and in holes and in rocks and in tombs and in cisterns, 7 and some Hebrews crossed the fords of the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. Saul was still at Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Saul's Unlawful Sacrifice
8 sHe waited seven days, the time appointed by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him. 9 So Saul said, "Bring the burnt offering here to me, and the peace offerings." And he offered the burnt offering. 10 As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came. And Saul went out to meet him and greet him. 11 Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "When I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines had mustered at Michmash, 12 I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the favor of the Lord.' So I forced myself, and offered the burnt offering." 13 And Samuel said to Saul, t"You have done foolishly. uYou have not kept the command of the Lord your God, with which he commanded you. For then the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 But now vyour kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought out a man wafter his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince2 over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you." 15 And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal. The rest of the people went up after Saul to meet the army; they went up from Gilgal3 to xGibeah of Benjamin.
And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, yabout six hundred men. 16 And Saul and Jonathan his son and the people who were present with them stayed in zGeba of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped in Michmash. 17 And araiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned toward Ophrah, to the land of Shual; 18 another company turned toward bBeth-horon; and another company turned toward the border that looks down on the Valley of cZeboim toward the wilderness.
19 dNow there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears." 20 But every one of the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, or his sickle,4 21 and the charge was two-thirds of a shekel5 for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and a third of a shekel6 for sharpening the axes and for setting the goads.7 22 So on the day of the battle ethere was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan, but Saul and Jonathan his son had them. 23 And fthe garrison of the Philistines went out to the gpass of hMichmash.

Unlike previous immigration cycles (1880 or 1920), that saw France look outside its borders for the necessary workforce to build or rebuild the country, this wave of immigration was impacted by decolonization and especially, the Algerian war of independence. Algerian workers would become the enemies of the interior who suffered for a long time the resentment from those with a nostalgic attachment to the idea of racial superiority.
Still, in their wake, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers and their families would come from Portugal, Spain or Italy and gradually integrate "discreetly", without being targeted by political speeches or the police forces.
Their children and grandchildren recall this particular page of French history…from the Algerian war to social advancement through education and hard work; from May '68 to anti-racism, from rock n roll to paid holidays.
For them, the idea of "returning home" was a visit to their fathers' country, but home was where this new generation had built their lives….

Defining Goodwill
You may hear the word "goodwill" thrown around a lot, but what does it really mean? When it comes to selling a business, the term refers to all the effort that the seller put into a business over the year. Goodwill can be thought of as the difference between the various tangible assets that a business has and the overall purchase price.
The M&A Dictionary defines goodwill in the following way, "An intangible fixed asset that is carried as an asset on the balance sheet, such as a recognizable company or product name or strong reputation. When one company pays more than the net book value for another, the former is typically paying for goodwill. Goodwill is often viewed as an approximation of the value of a company's brand names, reputation, or long-term relationships that cannot otherwise be represented financially."
Goodwill vs. Going-Concern
Now, it is important not to confuse goodwill value with "going-concern value," as the two are definitely not the same. Going-concern value is typically defined by experts, as the fact that the business will continue to operate in a manner that is consistent with its intended purpose as opposed to failing or being liquidated. For most business owners, goodwill is seen as good service, products and reputation, all of which, of course, matters greatly.
Below is a list of some of the items that can be listed under the term "goodwill." As you will notice, the list is surprisingly diverse.

As you can tell, goodwill, as it pertains to a business, is not an easily defined term. It is also very important to keep in mind that what goodwill is and how it is represented on a company's financial statements are two different things.
Here is an example: a company sells for $2 million dollars but has only $1 million in tangible assets. The balance of $1 million dollars was considered goodwill and goodwill can be amortized by the acquirer over a 15-year period. All of this was especially impactful on public companies as an acquisition could negatively impact earnings which, in turn, negatively impacted stock price, so public companies were often reluctant to acquire firms in which goodwill was a large part of the purchase price. On the flip side of the coin, purchasers of non-public firms received a tax break due to amortization.
The Federal Accounting Standards Board (FASB) created new rules and standards pertaining to goodwill and those rules and standards were implemented on July 1, 2001. Upon the implementation of these rules and standards, goodwill may not have to be written off, unless the goodwill is carried at a value that is in excess of its real value. Now, the standards require companies to have intangible assets, which include goodwill, valued by an outside expert on an annual basis. These new rules work to define the difference between goodwill and other intangible assets as well as how they are to be treated in terms of accounting and tax reporting.
Before you buy a business or put a business up for sale, it is a good idea to talk to the professionals. The bottom line is that goodwill can still represent all the hard work a seller put into a business; however, that hard work must be accounted for differently than in years past and with more detail.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California has become the first state to require health insurance plans to cover at-home tests for sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, chlamydia and syphilis — which could help quell the STI epidemic that has raged nearly unchecked as public health departments have focused on covid-19.
The rule, part of a broader law addressing the STI epidemic, took effect Jan. 1 for people with state-regulated private insurance plans and will kick in sometime later for the millions of low-income Californians enrolled in the state's Medicaid program.
By making it easier and cheaper for Californians to self-administer tests in the privacy of their homes, the provision could bring better disease monitoring to rural and underserved parts of the state, reduce the stigma patients experience when seeking care and give them more control over their health, say experts on infectious diseases.
"This is the first law of its kind, and I'd say it's kind of cutting-edge," said Stephanie Arnold Pang, senior director of policy and government relations for the National Coalition of STD Directors. "We want to bring down every single barrier for someone to get STI testing, and out-of-pocket cost is a huge factor."
But being first has its downsides. Because the concept of insurance coverage for home STI tests is so new, the state's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, could not establish by Jan. 1 the billing codes it needs to start paying for tests. Federal regulators also haven't approved the tests for home use, which could make labs reluctant to process them. And a state analysis predicts most in-network health care providers won't start prescribing home tests for at least a year until they adjust their billing and other practices.
Nevertheless, the situation is urgent and requires action, said state Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento), a pediatrician who wrote the law.
"We have children born in California with syphilis," Pan said. "You'd think that went away in the Victorian era."
Even before covid, sexually transmitted infections hit all-time highs in the U.S. and California for six years in a row, according to 2019 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Rates of congenital syphilis, which babies contract from their mothers, illustrate the severity of the STI epidemic: Cases were up 279% from 2015 to 2019 nationally and 232% in California. Of the 445 cases of congenital syphilis in California in 2019, 37 were stillbirths.
The pandemic only worsened the problem because health departments were overwhelmed responding to the covid emergency, and stay-at-home orders kept people away from clinics.
In surveys of public health programs across the country since May 2020, the National Coalition of STD Directors found that most respondents — up to 78% in one survey — have diverted some of their STI workforces to test and monitor covid. A report that accompanied the most recent survey found that some STIs were "completely unchecked" due to reductions in clinic hours, diversion of resources, shortages of testing kits and staff burnout.
Some at-home STI tests screen for a single disease but other kits can collect and send samples to check for a variety of infections. Depending on the test, patients collect a drop of blood with a lancet, or swab their mouth, vagina, anus or penis.
Some tests require patients to send samples to a lab for analysis, while some oral HIV tests give results at home in a few minutes.
Ivan Beas, a 25-year-old graduate student at UCLA, was getting tested frequently as part of a two-year research study. When clinics closed during the pandemic, researchers sent him a home kit.
The kit, which tests for HIV, hepatitis C, herpes, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis, was packaged discreetly and came with easy instructions. It took Beas about 10 minutes to prick his finger, swab his mouth and send the samples to the lab.
Beas wanted to continue screening himself every few months after the study ended, he said, but the kit he used retails for $289, which is out of reach for him.
The last time he went to a clinic in person, "I spent two hours waiting to even be seen by a doctor because of how busy they are," he said. Until Medi-Cal begins covering home tests, he said, he will have to find time to get tested for free at a Planned Parenthood clinic.
"If insurance were to cover it, I'd definitely do it more," he said.
Under California's new law, plans regulated by the state must cover home STI tests when ordered by a health care provider.
Privately insured Californians can take advantage of the coverage immediately. How much they will owe out-of-pocket for the tests — if anything — depends on the type of plan they have, whether their provider is in-network, and if they fall into a category the federal government has designated for free screening.
Medi-Cal patients almost never face out-of-pocket expenses, but they will have to wait for coverage because the Department of Health Care Services, which administers Medi-Cal, is working with the American Medical Association and the federal government to create billing codes. The reimbursement rates for those codes will then need federal approval.
The state doesn't know how long that process will take, according to department spokesperson Anthony Cava.
The rule does not apply to the millions of Californians whose job-based health insurance plans are regulated by the federal government.
Other states and organizations have experimented with at-home STI tests. The public health departments in Alabama and the District of Columbia send free kits to residents who request them, but neither jurisdiction requires insurance coverage for them. The National Coalition of STD Directors is sending free kits to people through health departments in Philadelphia; Iowa; Virginia; Indiana; Puerto Rico; and Navajo County, Arizona. The list of recipients is expected to grow this month.
Iwantthekit.org, a project of Johns Hopkins University, has been sending free kits to Maryland residents since 2004, and to Alaskans since 2011. The program is funded by grants and works with local health departments.
Charlotte Gaydos, co-founder of the project, said that requests for test kits during the pandemic nearly tripled — and that she would expand to every state if she could bill insurance the way the California law mandates.
The tests fall into a murky regulatory area. While they have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, none have been cleared for use at home. Patients are supposed to collect their own samples within the walls of a health facility, and some labs may not analyze samples collected at home.
Public health officials cited other potential challenges: Patients may not have the same access to counseling, treatment or referrals to other services such as food banks that they would receive at clinics. And although patients are supposed to self-report the results of their tests to public health authorities, some people won't follow through.
Vlad Carrillo, 31, experienced such trade-offs recently. Carrillo used to get tested at a San Francisco clinic, where they could get counseling and other services. But Carrillo lost their apartment during the pandemic and moved about seven hours away to Bishop, the only incorporated city in rural Inyo County.
"Being away from the city, it took me a whole year to find a way to get tested," Carrillo said.
Carrillo eventually got the kit through the mail, avoiding the stigma of going to the clinic in Bishop, which is "more focused on straight stuff," like preventing pregnancy. Without the test, Carrillo couldn't get PrEP, a medication to prevent HIV.
"Going without it for so long was really hard on me," Carrillo said.

If we tested for Apoe and got Apoe ¾ - what does that mean? Is that heterozygous or homozygous? Mine says it is the APO-E3/E4 genotype. With these SNPs: rs429358(C;T) rs7412(C;C) Can someone de-code this for me?
Wondering about any research or info on using lysine to reduce/control oral herpes infections? Is this effective?
In my experience it stopped minor herpes outbreaks at 500 mg / day…after reading about herpes being assoc. with alzheimers I started with 1 G lysine per day.
Dr. Bredesen mentions using a non-emollient soap after using a sauna. Any recommendations on a good soap brand? I can't find non-emollient soap anywhere.
For most Americans, due to all the costs, this protocol will be out of reach. The sample size all this is based on is very small and I am not totally convinced it will work. However, the marketing is very well thought out. It is a shame when so many folks are dealing with this who are on fixed incomes can't access these recommendations. Especially since Mr. Geffen has been funding this researcher! I don't really see any reviews from patients or their families either which is odd. This information has been out for what 2 yrs now and just now hearing about it. If it was such a slam dunk then why hasn't some group offered to buy the protocol to make it free to all those who need it? Instead it has been sold to a health care marketing company. This health group has bought it and has created this pay to play setup and part of the deal is as more is learned you will learn so there is a monthly subscription which means they haven't figured it out! You have to pay $1400 or rather $1399 for one time fee or monthly fee and it gets confusing as to whether they will do that for U.S. patients. Then you have to find a doctor locally who has signed up with them to access their software, if not they can have a tele doctor help you. I wonder what fees the doctors have to pay? Then you have to pay for labs and they won't know what all the costs for those will be but it sounds like it can be expensive and my guess is your insurance may not cover them since it is probably still considered experimental. It also sounds like your insurance is not going to pay for the 2 hours for the doctor visits much at all. Then you have to meet with the doctor maybe 3 times a year. I just bet they will use the data from these participants to support their protocol and the participants will be paying most of the on going research or their insurance will if they are really lucky. It seems rather one sided. It feels a bit scammy. You would think, if in fact this protocol is the best cure for Alzheimer, that this would be shared world wide for all doctors to implement to patients much like so many other cures that impact a majority. Maybe have the NIH collect the data like The Human Microbiome Project. They can't go there yet or ever and that is why this is being doled out the way it is. This makes me question Rhonda's role in this. I see her tests show she has some genetic leanings for one type of Alzheimers and well she is all in … just in case. She promotes him but has she seen any improvements in xrays of her brain or something? I was hoping that Rhonda was a good source of information but I am now a bit skeptical of her approach and whom she is promoting. For years we have watched these types of sites and each time we are hoping maybe this will be the site that is not just marketing but actually promoting sound and ETHICAL science for human kind not just how much profit can be made. Sadly, as we all know so many take tidbits and exploit them as marketing tools with online heath sites. Is it no surprise so many have become jaded by such sites. Robb Wolf comes to mind with his fancy talk and all the holes in his stuff. The list goes on and on.
Hi! This was a big comment, but I'll do my best to at least address a few points.
First of all, and most importantly, I bear no affiliation or financial ties with this episode's guest or their work. My motivation for having Dr. Bredesen on the podcast is because I value what he's doing and think it offers value to this community. Judging by the overall reception, thankfully, I think quite a few people agree!
You'll notice that while I have linked to the company that offers the protocol within the show notes, in the episode itself it's almost an afterthought. In fact, there are many things shared in the video (e.g. the broad strokes of some of the important biomarkers and even their desired ranges) that should be reasonably useful to a person that may or may not ever go through the official channels to use the protocol.
I think any sort of suggestion that the episode is an infomercial is a vast misrepresentation of the actual content, especially with the effort my team and I put into documenting the literature being referenced.
This point aside, you seem to have two other primary concerns, the first of which is efficacy and the second is the cost of participating in the protocol, which may involve an expensive baseline billed directly (but only if it's not covered by insurance).
As for efficacy, I think it's obvious these are still very early days. Again, there's transparency to some degree about this in the episode (especially when we talk about the 2014 MEND and his upcoming paper that represents a larger number of patients) — in retrospect, it might have been useful to have a more fully formed conversation about that. Needless to say, I still don't think it's good cause to be dismissive.
In particular, I admire the gestalt sort of approach of the Bredesen protocol, because, while the individual "weight" of some of the interventions he's focusing on may, I expect, be re-tuned from time to time to great a more targeted impact, it's obvious that making an honest best effort at taking everything that's known at a mechanistic level about Alzheimer's specifically (and better aging generally) and weaving it into an approach that is immediately usable for those of us at risk presents some value. That's probably the best you can get at this stage. More importantly, he's even set up the infrastructure to allow that to happen under the care of a healthcare practitioner.
In many ways, that's amazing! Turning early research into something clinically useful is a feat in and of itself, but even more so when you take into account that it's entirely at odds with the way healthcare usually works. You may be met with pushback, for example, if you ask for a follow-up hemoglobin A1C just three months after having had one in normative ranges. In the episode, you will hear Dr. Bredesen making this point in a variety of ways, talking about how he believes certain important biomarkers represented as within normal limits are actually not optimal or how some forms of insulin resistance may not be peripherally obvious.
I think anyone reasonable (even amongst the professionals) will be able to follow that as being a perfectly logically coherent thought, but without being able to justify the cost to insurance, they probably have trouble continuing to try to optimize on numbers that are otherwise within normal limits. At least that's my impression from my own interactions as an otherwise healthy but prevention concerned consumer of the healthcare system.
One of the ways around this "systemic glitch" is probably to establish a baseline with a wide array of tests via direct to consumer tests — ones insurance may be hesitant to cover in some cases — and then work on the problem areas once they've been identified and may be easier to justify. In other words, exactly what the company Dr. Bredesen is partnering with seems to be doing.
This is obviously not perfect since it may ultimately mean not everyone will be able to access the care in the same way, but, hopefully, as future clinical success translates into more published case reports the tide will turn and prevention will become a prime mover rather than an afterthought. In general, though, I think it's a pretty good compromise they have going with the current situation and still, in the worst case, a lot cheaper than even a few months of memory care.
Dr. Rhonda is outstanding not only about her knowledge of biochemistry, but also in her presentations. She often contains in index of topic in her timeline so that one does not have to take time to make their own index for future reference for longer presentations. She also contains references to the literature on each topic as part of the video. Hers are the best videos I have seen yet! Dr. Bruce
Excellent interview. It was good to hear the doctor's voice, especially the excitement with which he presents his findings. It is good to hear that so many more people have had great results since the book was written. The excitement in his voice is wonderful to hear. I look forward to his next book. I wonder why the Alzheimer's disease organization does not recognize his groundbreaking work.
Because his research seems to be lacking in transparency and his reported successes are not so evident when subjected to critical scientific scrutiny. He is good in marketing his own book though.
A more detailed (critical) evaluation of his research can be found here: https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/06/24/the-mens-protocol-for-alzheimers-disease-functional-medicine-on-steroids-revisited/
I had to become a contributor after listening to this. If I don't end up with Alzheimer's it will only be because of this interview!
Thank you for this, and all that you do. You've really helped scare me into living a healthier lifestyle.

I had a great discussion this weekend on This Woman's Words radio about Overcoming Barriers to Follow your Passion with Los Angeles based songwriter, musician and
performer John McConnell of ProLyric Productions and John McConnell Music and Houston
based Public Relations expert Vannessa Wade of Connect the Dots PR. Vannessa has been a Guest Blogger on This Woman's Words. We talked about how so many of us have a
passion to be and do so much more than we are currently doing in our
lives. Yet we take the safe route. The reasons for taking the safe route will
vary from person to person. But many of us never get the courage to try.
Both John and Vannessa have great personal stories about how
their journeys continue to unfold. They
both learned quite a bit about themselves in the process. Their stories of overcoming barriers can enrich and uplift us all. I encourage you to learn more about them by listening to the show.
Following a dream or a passion may mean you have to overcome
illness, financial challenges, you may have a partner and children to consider …
but….What would happen if you stepped out
on faith, confidence in your individual or collective excellence or simply on
blind trust in the universe to follow your passion?
I'd love to read your comments.

Cure Back Pain Forever Testimonials
This is one of the best alternative programs for curing back pain that I have ever seen in my 27 years practicing as an orthopedic surgeon. I have to admit that some of Sensei Rostocki's commentary on the methods used to heal back pain was a sensitive subject for me to read about, but I can not deny the truth in many of his ideas. I have since integrated many of the concepts of this program into my own practice.
Dr. Ari Goldstein, Orthopedic Surgeon
The Cure Back Pain Forever Program is great. The books are succinct and easy to read again and again, which is exactly what you will want to do. I refer to the books often and can honestly say that they has done more to help me than any medical treatment I tried over a span of more than 20 years. Thanks Sensei Adam and I share your books with everyone in my life.
Thomas Shuler, Willington, Delaware
I first bought Cure Back Pain Forever in 2006 and used it to supplement my recovery efforts. I was successful and have since shared it with many friends and family. I have sent in my story to this website and had it published and I am so thankful for all the great work you do for people in pain. I must also say that I have used the lessons in this book to better advocate for myself in all health matters and would say it is probably the best money I ever spent. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Alice Westerfield, Columbus, Ohio
I read this website for several months and enjoyed many of the articles. I found myself quoting it when discussing things with my doctor and found them to be interested in my new-found knowledge, which they described as "unusually deep and enlightened". After all this, I thought I would read more from Sensei Adam and decided to buy the complete book bundle, although I was not sure if it would live up to claims made as far as helping my pain. Well, the books over-delivered, much like the material on the website. They provided me with a great understanding of the interactions of mind and body and have helped me to feel better, despite many health issues. My only regret was waiting so long to buy them, since I could have used the help earlier to get through some really rough times, but better late than never.
David Dillman, Roanoke, Virginia
I had read Dr Sarno's books previously, but did not connect to them. I gave up the knowledge approach and tried the medical system once again to no avail. I found cure-back-pain.org and decided to give it another try. I really connected to Sensei Adam's writings and found his way of explaining things to be empathetic and brilliant in its simplicity. I am fully recovered from crippling pain after many, many years of suffering with what I thought were herniated discs. I truly can not express my thanks enough.
Michael Esposito, Newark, New Jersey
This program made me completely change the way I diagnose and subsequently treat back pain. The ideas in these books made me realize that my traditional training in chiropractic was simply not enough to properly treat many chronic back problems. I thank the author for this wonderful program and recommend it to all medical professionals working to treat back pain.
Dr. W.R. Peck, Chiropractor
I am thrilled to endorse this product since it was the ONLY thing that helped me to overcome my own back pain. I was shocked and delighted to finally understand why my back pain had resisted successful treatment for so long. I was a little embarrassed that I did not realize the true nature of my pain on my own. Thank you again, Sensei Rostocki.
Harold Eckstein, Ph.D. Psychologist

Pulling away the layers of the embellished fittings from around under my bust. I couldn't breathe. As soon as I exhaled my head leaned backwards to straighten my spine. I could not fathom the weight. I felt as though, heaven's greatest had forgotten to take His mighty hand off the crown of my skull. My surroundings were muted by the silence of colours escalading through the corners of my eyes as when the sun's rays would highlight the cerulean waters of the ocean; the veil dropped. I fixed the trinklets hooked onto my bangles and ran a sliver of skin down the side of the embroidered bands to the crevice of my breasts. My fingers poised upwards as my gaze lowered, and I started to walk. The circulation in my waist was concealed and the fluidity of my hips began to sway along the weight of my skirt as I caught a glimpse of her. She looked gently and recited, 'chasm-e-badoor' (to ward off the evil eye). I acknowledged her graciously with a smirk. Alas my neck, which had no meaning; as though it never existed, began to let go of its poise. Gravity showed no mercy as I sauntered towards my reigning throne. Photography: HENNYGRAPHY O' Eyes of despair why are you lurking through the windows of my soul. This is my awakening and I have wished for this ever so dearly. The details were ideally a dream, a miraculous world woven of the finest silks and the warmth of the lavender incense had the room glowing. I could not see the aisles of leisure and freedom. I was raised on the mountains where the birds nurtured me with freedom and my relentless behavior gave heed to the winds of the storm. I never even tied my hair. My locks would surround my body as a void of protection and wisdom; virtuous. My veil, the veil you have so well defined as my best also came with a world that you never did tell me as I slept. A world of perplexed thinkers, a surrounding of voices in constant turmoil; one where I would never find peace. Truth is that, you; she, her, you never made it clear or found a reason to exist within the turmoil. You simply lived. Did you? You're probably reading this entry thinking about the stereotypes behind women who are of culture, of belonging to a realm of traditional cultivated thoughts. Minorities? No. We all exist in the world of discomposed thinkers and segregating activists - within our own homes. I love my husband, I truly do but to acknowledge him as my complete that isn't one-hundred percent true. I hasten my ordinary every day without a doubt, my sleep is no longer filled with intrinsic adventures. It is no longer my own. You once recited a dream, a story of warriors and if I recall, it went something like this... Creatures that blossomed from an unearthly Incomparable union of sacred rituals and blessings. Bred in silk-spun wombs Their spines inhaled the nectar They bathed in the syrup of that very nectar Where branches of saffron blended Together with the milk of almonds As the nelumbo nucifera carried them afloat; The Indian lotus. They were raised as warriors Their hands soft as the belly of a hummingbird. They were voices Once. Without pain or cries. There was once a time When all was countless Spirited and free. Thankfully there is still a mother, I wish to be. As I raise my head, the floral garlands on my wrists revive the glow overlooking my view. The glow that one believes to exist when in union with harmony. It was him all along. My grasp is liberated to unfold this very letter that was embedded in my soul. I had been immersed in the depth of his presence, as he held my hand, he looked into my eyes and his smile opens up another portal. I now recall those dreams that you so generously gifted me as a child, "O' love of mine, your being is to be with the very best. The all vital state of your existence is when you know yourself and he accepts you true." Stepping on the stage to be crowned, as his wife, with him, a man - his name was announced. This was your letter and my day is today. Your recitings before I left home were to protect but to also instill the very teachings you were taught. The veil is of a prevailing state. Laughter of a blooming household; a shelter for the traveler, a mirage of passage through cultural narratives. I was the center of my home. The veil was my power and I wore it as my crown. A veil is worn by a Bride on her wedding day, an entitlement not every woman can carry forth. She is a warrior and life is her battle. Credits for the work seen in the highlighted editorial within this written response: STYLE/DIRECTION/HENNA: @breathofhenna WARDROBE: @chandanfashion HAIR: @rachelrenna MUA: @oliviahabeauty JEWELRY: @stelladot_toronto MUSE: @itsnikaneeks Thank you Genna of Loft 404 for allowing me to bring my verses to life. @loft404 An excerpt from a letter I wrote: "I humbly accept this union of tranquil bliss and flourishing friendship, devotion and sentiment. This, now, here is infinite as I have waited for this time of the awakened state. I am aware of your delightedness and as I too am delighted. We are aware of the challenges that will grace us with their hindering ventures. But, you and I both know there is nothing that we have not advanced through. We are OK. My friendship will coexist with my love for you as you are what defines my state of being a woman. I hope you can say the same or at least that this moment acknowledges our harmony together. You bring challenging discourse to our times of union as do I and we are still here. We all possess baggage and we need a state of revival - when I met you, you revived me. You shower me with endless opportunity and you are aware of what whirl winds I attain. Let me be open to you, I will guide you and astonish you with remarks but to cherish you as heaven's greatest gift is to not say the least. You are that presence I had seeked for; a longing I had wondered about since the first marriage I attended. I was ecstatic about the trinkets of embellishments and what love was. The veil, if it may weigh heavy, we will pull through. Never to let go of your hand in times of distraught. You are what defines great men and I have been so very privileged to have you in my life." - HUSSAIN I hope you all have enjoyed another written piece by me and will comment below.

Intel at MWC 2015: SoFIA, Rockchip, Low Cost Integrated LTE, Atom Renaming and 14nm Cherry Trail
by Ian Cutress on March 2, 2015 9:00 AM ESTAfter day zero at Mobile World Congress already boasting some impressive releases, Intel tackles their platform on day one on several different fronts. As part of a pre-briefing, we were invited into the presentation where Intel discussed the current state of their mobile portfolio along with looking to the future. The pre-briefing was run by Aicha Evans, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the Wireless Platform Research and Development Group, who you may remember was interviewed by Anand in a series of videos back in 2013. Ms. Evans' focus stems on the connectivity side of the equation, making sure that Intel's portfolio develops into a strong base for future platforms.
One of the big elements for Intel is the rebranding of their mobile Atom line of SoCs. Up until this point, all the SoCs were difficult to follow and very similar names such as Z3580 or Z3760. This is adjusted into three different segments as follows:
Similar to their personal computing processor line, the Intel Atom structure will take on x3/x5/x7 naming, similar to the i3/i5/i7 of the desktop and notebook space. This is not to be confused with Qualcomm's modem naming scheme, or anything by BMW.
The x3 sits at the bottom, and is comprised of Bay Trail based SoCs at the 28nm node all previously part of the SoFIA program aimed at emerging markets. There will be three x3 parts – a dual core x3, a quad core x3 from the Rockchip agreement, and a final quad core x3 with an integrated LTE modem.
This set raises some interesting points to discuss. Firstly is the use of 28nm is the same node as previous Intel Atoms, and thus should be derived from a TSMC source. It is also poignant to note that for these SoCs Intel is using a Mali GPU rather than the Gen 8 graphics and their own IP. This is due to the SoFIA program being aimed at bringing costs down and functionality into the low price points in a competitive time-to-market.
The Rockchip model, indicated by the 'RK' at the end of the name of the SoC, comes from the partnership with Rockchip we reported on back in May 2014. At the time Intel discussed the roadmap for producing a quad core SoC with 3G for the China market in the middle of 2015, which this provides.
The final part of the x3 arrangement revolves combining a 5-mode LTE modem on the same die. Intel is going to support 14 LTE bands on a single SoC with PMIC, WiFi and geolocation technologies (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou).
The Atom x5 and x7 SoCs represent the next step up, implementing Intel's 14nm process and bringing Cherry Trail to market. The x5 and x7 SoCs are aimed primarily at tablets, but can find their way into sub 10.1 inch tablets as well, providing an interesting counterbalance to the high price premium of Intel Core-M 4.5W products based on Broadwell-Y. While the x3 line will focus first on Android moving into Windows, x5 and x7 is designed to be targeting both, particularly with the bundled Gen 8 graphics and LTE with XMM276x supporting Cat-6 and carrier aggregation.
Not a lot of detail was provided about x5 and x7, suggesting that they are aimed more at late 1H/2H 2015 down the line. This coincides with the next generation of Intel's XMM 7360 modem, featuring up to 450 Mbps downlink and support for up to 29 LTE bands.
One interesting element in the x5/x7 scenario was the bundled platform block diagram provided by Intel, showing clearly the two dual-core Airmont CPUs each with 1MB of L2 cache, Gen 8 graphics, separate security processors and ISP, as well as USB 3.0 support.
Finally, Intel addressed the obvious lack of a high-end mobile SoC that fits into the performance smartphone category. Intel is still working on development of such a SoC in the form of Braxton and we'll have more news on this piece in the future.
We are lining up a chance to interview Ms. Evans about Intel's Atom lineup later this week at MWC, so stay tuned for that.

Atom/W10 phone, please! -
Flunk - Monday, March 2, 2015 - link
Why on earth would you want that? It wouldn't be compatible with any legacy Windows Phone apps so you'd only have WinRT universal apps, which are thin on the ground at the moment.
If you're under the impression it would support Win32 apps, < 8" screens don't support desktop apps. Only WinRT. -
edzieba - Monday, March 2, 2015 - link
"If you're under the impression it would support Win32 apps, < 8" screens don't support desktop apps. Only WinRT."
On the phone display, yes. but it would make for a rather nice dockable device (like the old Atrix 4G, but with Windows 10 rather than Linux). -
Flunk - Monday, March 2, 2015 - link
No, Microsoft is literally stripping the OS of the features required to run desktop apps to reduce the install size on < 8" devices. The actual interface on these devices is going to be quite a bit different from larger Windows 10 devices. I know Microsoft likes to claim that they're all "Windows 10" but the small devices are functionally going to feature only a subset of features. -
jhoff80 - Monday, March 2, 2015 - link
Yeah, I hate that Microsoft is calling both platforms Windows 10. Windows 10 for phones is clearly a different OS, as anyone who has used both can attest to. People seem to be expecting the phone SKU to be the PC version without the desktop, but that's not at all what is happening.
It really should have been "Windows 10" and "Windows 10 Mobile" or something of that sort, because as it is now, "Windows 10" is a different OS from "Windows 10" and it makes it far more convoluted to talk about the two. -
markiz - Monday, March 2, 2015 - link
people will still refer to it as "Windows phone" so I don't see confusion there.
There will also be no overlap between the two with line set at <8"<. -
jhoff80 - Monday, March 2, 2015 - link
And yet people even on this site, a highly technical one, are already thinking that there's a possibility of docking a larger screen to the phone/small tablet version in order to get a full desktop.
The general public is going to get confused. That's the whole reason for the naming in the first place, to trick people into thinking they're the same thing when they're clearly not. -
nathanddrews - Monday, March 2, 2015 - link
That assumes that no vendors will build sub-8" devices with full Windows 10. Has Microsoft officially stated that they won't allow it? -
mcirsta - Monday, March 2, 2015 - link
Well there probably will be a way to do this but it will require some hacks ( unsupported and maybe even a bit over what the license says you can do ones ).
As long as the core OS is there, kernel and drivers and stuff and it's the same Windows some libs and UI and whatever could probably hacked over that.
The only problem so far was that the core OS was different and there weren't that many x86 chips. -
nathanddrews - Tuesday, March 3, 2015 - link
I'll be interested to see if Microsoft expressly prohibits this functionality or if they resort to other market trickery, like making OEMs pay for a full license, thus adding $100 to the price of a phone/phablet. It's not like the hardware isn't fast enough. I've got a Bay Trail tablet that runs Windows 10 desktop just perfectly. What difference does screen size make?
I would do just about anything short of murder to have a Galaxy S6/Note-style device with the full W10 experience. Set it on the desk, have it wirelessly charge while it wirelessly connects to my display and peripherals... That's the future-world I want to live in.
