Stage 10- Born to Rhone Deux
Nestled beneath the impressive Mont Blanc, Europe's rooftop at 15,771 feet, is the Rhone-Alpes region which borders Switzerland and Italy. The area extends out toward the Rhone wine areas west of Lyon.
It's capital, Lyon is the second largest in France and a mecca for gourmands. The region itself offers 24 microclimates allowing for a wide variety of agriculture and food production. So with the chicken farms of the Bresse and the cattle ranches of Charolais, wild game (guinea fowl) of the Dombes, fish from the Savoy lakes, fruits and vegetables of the Rhône valley and the poultry of theForez region are all within easy reach and supply Rhône-Alpes battalion of grand chefs. There are a total of 62 Michelin-starred restaurants of which five have three stars and 11 have two stars. The 10 Beaujolais crus and the wines of Côtes-du-Rhône, along with a wide range of cheeses including Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage (AOC), Reblochon (AOC) all pairing well with the region's specialties.
Today the start of the race shifted to a different starting point due to a farmer's protest. They were protesting the reintroduction of wolves in the Alps. So naturally my mind wandered to what these farmers where growing and what the organics looks like here ?
Organics is still a relatively niche market in France, representing only 0.5% of total retail food sales. More and more supermarkets are outlets for selling organics. Biocoop is a smaller version of our Wild Oats or Whole Foods. It has over 230 stores today and is expanding everyday--much like Whole Foods. Health food stores and open air markets make up 35% of total sales; supermarkets 45%.
In 1981 organic legislation was passed; in 1985 the state-approved organic logo started appearing gaining wider acceptance of organics in France and throughout Europe. Products with this logo contain more than 95 percent organic components, and are produced or processed within the EU.
By 1999 more than "60 percent of the organic land is located in the six regions of Basse Normandie, Bretagne, Pays de la Loire, Languedoc-Roussillon, Midi-Pyrénées and Rhône-Alpes, which account for less than 40 percent of the French agricultural area." (French Ag Report 2003)
The Rhône-Alpes is one of the most dynamic regions in France in the agro-food industries. The irony is that while some of the best producers, farmers and cheesemakers can be found so can the French HQ of Monsanto, one of the leaders in GMOs as does Bayer Crop Science, one of the largest "crop protector" companies.
All of this makes me believe that there is room for opportunity everywhere, much like there is here in the U.S., for organic advocacy. The region also sounds very similar to the Bay Area and California in general. Well, all except for the Alps.

In September 1991, for the 1992 model year, Lexus announced the second-generation Lexus ES (XV10) almost one year after the introduction of the second-generation Acura Legend, but before Infiniti finally decided to add a similarly classed sedan, the J30. The second-generation ES shared its design with the new generation Toyota Windom (XV10), which was officially announced in Japan on September 30, 1991, introduced at the October 1991 Tokyo Motor Show, and exclusive to Toyota Japan dealership sales channel called Toyota Corolla Store as the top level luxury sedan. The Windom itself shared elements with the latest generation of the Japan-market Toyota Camry Prominent (V30).
Inside the cabin, the second-generation ES featured California walnut trim on the center console, leather seats, an eight-speaker premium sound system, and keyless entry. The added wheelbase length and overall width made for increased legroom and shoulder space than the previous model. Compared to its Camry relative, the ES 300 featured separate styling, a different suspension setup with front and rear independent MacPherson strut, and added weight amounting to 90 kg (200 lb). Much of this is due to increased dimensions, asphalt insulation in the body panels and additional on-board equipment. As with its predecessor, anti-lock brakes were standard.
The ES 300 sported a 138 kW (185 hp) 3.0-liter 3VZ-FE V6 engine and had an advertised 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) time of 7.9 seconds. In Japan, where the ES was badged as the Toyota Windom, a 2.5-liter 4VZ-FE version producing 128 kW (172 hp) was made available in October 1993. Lexus offered a standard five-speed E53 manual transmission and optional four-speed A540/1E automatic.
Production assembly of the ES 300 commenced on September 9, 1991, and the sedan went on sale later that year in the U.S. as a 1992 model. The sedan was not released in Europe, where similar Toyota models were offered. The second-generation ES was a major sales success, becoming Lexus' best-selling vehicle overall. In its first full year of sales, the ES logged 39,652 units, and throughout the following years of its production run, sales reached near or above that figure. Although the initial US base price was $26,550, this increased to over $30,000 in later years. By 1994, in part because of the rising yen and high demand, the manufacturer's suggested retail price had increased to $31,200, 19.3 percent more than the original 1992 figure. In 1993, a passenger airbag was added as standard equipment
Minor updates were introduced in 1994 for the 1995 model year (August 1994 production), including: a revised grille insert, new headlights and fog lights, outside air temp readout, and CFC-free air conditioning. In North America, the 1994 update introduced the new all-aluminum 1MZ-FE engine with 140 kW (188 hp). This change in engine resulted in a change in model code for the car (now known as the MCV10 series). Other markets retained the 3VZ-FE engine (and thus retained the VCV10 model code).
In September 1995 for the 1996 model year, Lexus offered an ES 300 "Coach Edition", featuring select Coach leather trim in the interior and a set of Coach luggage. Despite being its final year of sales, the 1996 ES 300 logged a 21 percent increase in sales over the previous year in the US, and 40,735 units were produced that year.

Creeping salt water forces Cape May City to consider more desalination
Jon Hurdle, NJ Spotlight
Cape May City (smallbones from Creative Commons (CC0 1.0)
Salt water is continuing to creep into private wells and some deep aquifers on the Cape May peninsula, forcing some homeowners to consider other sources of drinking water, and prompting Cape May City to plan a sharp increase in capacity for a plant that desalinates sea water, state and local officials said.
Although salinity levels in about two dozen "sentinel" wells — those designed to provide an early warning of salt water intrusion — are still below limits set by the state Department of Environmental Protection, coastal communities are being urged to consider their options for ensuring that drinking water supplies are sustainable in the long term.
The increasing salinity that has contaminated the peninsula's public and private wells for decades is driven mostly by the withdrawal of fresh water reserves, allowing more salt water to intrude into aquifers, and worsened by sea-level rise, experts said. They urged private well owners and public water suppliers to consider the long-term future of water supply in an area that has become a poster child for dealing with salt water intrusion.
"Any coastal community should be looking at a wide variety of alternatives," said Jeffrey Hoffman, the state geologist, in an interview with NJ Spotlight. He urged operators of public water systems to consider moving wells away from underground salt water, interconnecting with neighboring water systems, or installing desalination plants, such as that — the first in New Jersey — built by the City of Cape May in the mid-1990s.
But the best solution to a threatened water supply is water conservation, Hoffman said. He cited, as an example, the City of Cape May's efforts to urge its many visitors to save water, in a town whose population surges from a year-round 3,800 to some 45,000 in the summer season.
Coastal private wells at risk
Private wells near the coast are especially at risk, Hoffman said, because they are susceptible to changes in surface water, which could be contaminated with seawater as oceans rise.
"Homes near the shoreline, if they have shallow aquifers, do have the threat of becoming salty especially if they are in a development or if there are many homes pumping water," he said. "If you have a very shallow well near the coast, and sea level were to rise three feet, that would be additional pressure sending sea water" toward parts of the aquifer where fresh water has been withdrawn.
The vulnerability of shallow wells near the coast is shown by the DEP's testing of its "sentinel" wells. Those near the shore have contained chloride levels more than twice the level found in inland wells, Hoffman said. Any private well owner facing the same problem may simply have to drill a deeper well, at a cost of around $10,000, Hoffman said.
Seas at the Jersey Shore are expected to rise by up to 2.1 feet between 2000 and 2050 because of increasing ocean volumes and global ice melt, according to the Science and Technical Advisory Panel, a body set up by the DEP and Rutgers University last year.
The United States Geological Survey, which studied salt water intrusion on Cape May in the 1990s and 2000s, said that intrusion may become a problem for wells in shallow coastal aquifers, or in aquifers where the withdrawals lower the water level below sea level. In 1992, the agency said more than 100 domestic wells and about 20 public and industrial wells on Cape May had been abandoned because of salt water intrusion.
Impact on other Shore towns
Coastal communities further north, from Stone Harbor to Atlantic City, are unlikely now to be affected because they take water from the 800-Foot Sand, a major aquifer that's expected to supply fresh water for "hundreds of years," the agency said in a statement.
The main threat to drinking water in coastal areas is not sea-level rise but over-pumping of aquifers that are then vulnerable to salt water intrusion, officials said. Demands on those aquifers are increased by coastal development that brings more people and, by building more houses, roads and driveways, reduces the area of pervious surface that allows aquifers to recharge when it rains.
"Every time they put another basement down or a roof down, there's a little bit more of an area where the rain can't get into that aquifer," said Carl Behrens, superintendent of the City of Cape May Water and Sewer Department. "That probably has pretty close to the same effect as our pumping rates."
The ongoing construction of houses in flood-prone coastal areas is one of the issues being considered by the DEP in its current regulatory review known as NJ PACT, or Protecting Against Climate Threats.
Behrens's current focus of concern is the increasing salinity of the Cohansey aquifer, from which the city draws about a third of its water through one well — Well 5. Three others are sunk into the salty 800-Foot Sand, whose water is treated in the city's desalination plant, which started operation in 1998.
Recent testing of the Cohansey well showed it exceeding a health guideline for sodium set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, but any exceedance is brought down by blending the water with that produced by the desalination plant, Behrens said.
"It's safe, but it's getting to a point where it is concerning," he said.
Increase capacity of desalination plant by 50%
That's why Behrens wants to see the plant's capacity increased by at least 50% to 3 million gallons a day, with the Cohansey well kept in reserve, to ensure the city will reliably be able to supply water to its residents and many more tourists, who are arriving in increasing numbers as the season gets longer with the warming climate.
But the proposed capacity increase is on hold while the Cape May City Council considers what it can afford in a budget that, like that of every other state and local government, has been devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.
"COVID-19 just has everybody shellshocked, and I think council, rightfully so, is being very careful about any capital expenditures," Behrens said. "We have to make the money before we go and spend it."
Still, the expansion will have to be made eventually because existing capacity won't always meet demand, he said.
"Cape May is in a terrific position but it's not a matter of them deciding if they want to spend the money. They've got to decide when they want to spend the money," he said. "It's inevitable; we're going to have to expand."
By building the existing plant for $5 million, the City of Cape May was an early adopter of desalination as a means of sustaining its drinking water supply. The initiative has worked for more than 20 years but now needs to be expanded to meet increasing demand, said Ed Mahaney, the former mayor who oversaw the plant's construction.
State, federal funding
Ratepayers did face higher bills to pay for the new plant, but not significantly so, because state and federal funding paid most of the bill, he said.
When the town studied its water-supply options in the mid-1990s, four of seven alternatives involved sinking more wells into the Cohansey aquifer, all of which would have "exponentially" increased salt water intrusion, Mahaney said. That forced the eventual decision to rely largely on desalinated water.
"Today, two-thirds of the water comes from the desal plant, so when that Well 5 goes, we've got to have enough capacity," he said.
In the island community of Wildwood, north of Cape May, concern about salt water intrusion led water managers in the 1960s to install the nation's first aquifer storage and recovery system, in which fresh water from the mainland is injected to island wells outside the tourist season.
The system continues, and there's no salt water problem with either the monitoring wells or the "production" wells that supply water to the public, said Michael McIntyre, director of Wildwood Water Utility.
But the apparent stability of current supply doesn't stop him from considering other options to sustain supply in the future, such as the desalinization plant that he has discussed with water managers at neighboring Lower Township. "You never know, you still have to explore your options and you have to be ready," he said.

BURNETT PLANS TO BEAT HASKINS IN WORLD TITLE SHOT
Boxing News / June 5, 2017 June 5, 2017 / By f/s
Belfast talent putting faith in trainer to take IBF World title
Ryan Burnett believes he has the perfect man in his corner in Adam Booth to get the gameplan right to take the IBF World Bantamweight title from Lee Haskins when they clash at the SSE Arena Belfast on Saturday June 10, live on Sky Sports.
Burnett faces the Bristol ace in his first World title shot and it's a welcome return to his hometown after over three and a half years on the road.
Burnett's last outing in Belfast in November 2014 was his first fight with Booth and the pair have moved seamlessly to 16-0 and on the brink of World glory as their partnership has blossomed in Booth's Surrey gym.
Booth has been in the corner for many World title fights with David Haye and Burnett feels that having those expertise behind him can be the difference.
"Adam believes I am ready for it and he's a man who has been there and done it," said Burnett. "Adam knows how to put a game plan together to beat a southpaw, and I have every faith in Adam. If I am calm, relaxed and I deliver what Adam tells me to do on the night, I'll win that belt.
"I'm always learning with every fight and every day in the gym with Adam. People were saying a year ago that I was ready for a World title shot so that must mean I am even better placed for it now. Adam makes the decisions of what the right move is for me.
"Adam has given me intelligence on what I actually have to do. All the skills are there, but he's teaching me how to control it. That's what we work on every day – understanding what you have to do and how you have to do it.
"I needed to sit back, peel away the layers and understand what I am doing. Adam's work speaks for itself. He's been in the sport for a long time and he's a well-respected coach. I've come to the gym willing to listen and learn because I know that Adam has so much knowledge to give, so if Adam says jump, I say how high."
Burnett challenges Haskins on a huge night of action in Belfast where Paul Hyland Jr faces Adam Dingsdale for his first pro title, with the IBF European Lightweight strap on the line.

Q: How to mock Axios fetch in react testing I am new to react testing and I just wanted to write a test for fetching API data of a react component.
Here is my component which fetches data successfully.
ListData.js
const ListData = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState([]);
  const [searchValue, setSearchValue] = useState("");

  useEffect(() => {
    axios
      .get("https://images-api.nasa.gov/search?media_type=image")
      .then((response) => {
        setData(response.data);
      })
      .then(
        (response) => {},
        (err) => {
          console.log(err);
        }
      );
  }, []);

}

And I tried to write the test for the above code as follows
import { rest } from "msw";
import { setupServer } from "msw/node";
import ListData from "./Components/ListData";

const body = { hello: "world" };

const server = setupServer(
  rest.get(
    "https://images-api.nasa.gov/search?media_type=image",
    (_, res, ctx) => {
      return res(ctx.status(200), ctx.json(body));
    }
  )
);

describe("ListData", () => {
  beforeAll(() => server.listen());

  afterEach(() => server.resetHandlers());

  afterAll(() => server.close());
});

Bu I got error saying Your test suite must contain at least one test., What did I miss here?

A: you are exactly missing what the error says u are missing, a test.
If you add some test that error will disappear.
describe("ListData", () => {
  beforeAll(() => server.listen());

  afterEach(() => server.resetHandlers());

  afterAll(() => server.close());
  it('should do something', () => {
    expect(true).toBe(true)
  })
});

Also, I recommend you set up msw server on a jest setup file otherwise you will need to repeat this setup on every test file:
// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['./jest.setup.js'],
}

// jest.setup.js
import { server } from './mocks/server.js'
// Establish API mocking before all tests.
beforeAll(() => server.listen())
// Reset any request handlers that we may add during the tests,
// so they don't affect other tests.
afterEach(() => server.resetHandlers())
// Clean up after the tests are finished.
afterAll(() => server.close())

You can follow these docs: https://mswjs.io/docs/getting-started/integrate/node

Renewal SA renewed | SA Liberals celebrate | Not quite NASA
In today's Notes On Adelaide, new faces for the Renewal SA board, the SA Liberals gather to celebrate a double-edged anniversary, Stephan Knoll's main man and his close links to The Overland's difficult journey, and how our Space Agency measures up internationally.

New faces at Renewal SA
There are more changes at the state's embattled urban renewal agency, Renewal SA.
Infrastructure Minister Stephan Knoll has appointed two new faces to the agency's board – Department of Premier and Cabinet chief Jim McDowell and high-profile accountant Con Tragakis.
The pair rounds out the seven-person board, which also includes former Victorian Labor frontbencher Bronwyn Pike, former Adelaide Airport boss Phil Baker, former Environmental Protection Authority chief Helen Fulcher, ALP veteran Terry Groom and property consultant David McArdle.
McDowell, who evidently boasts a way with words, has held a host of leadership roles, including as Chief Executive of BAE Systems Australia and as Chancellor of the University of South Australia, before his recent appointment as Steven Marshall's permanent replacement for sacked DPC boss Don Russell.
Chartered accountant Tragakis is the former Chairman of Partners for KPMG in SA, and currently runs his own advisory firm east2. He is also a prolific tweeter.
Population growth now on the SA agenda. Currently 0.67% – need to target 1% to 1.5% to get things moving in the long term. https://t.co/pAE41IK2zs
— Con Tragakis (@ConTragakis) October 31, 2018
The pair will replace the late Geoff Knight, the former high-ranking bureaucrat who died after illness last month, and development consultant Bob Boorman, who quit the board earlier this year.
Renewal SA has had its share of drama of late, with two of its four executives taking sudden and unexplained leave in September.
Knoll told InDaily the new appointments "further enhance the board's credentials and knowledge", with both men bringing "a huge amount of corporate experience across many industries".
Insiders say Tragakis is tipped to take over as chair once Pike's term expires.
SA Liberals celebrate their greatest victory
The blast of wintry weather in Adelaide this week has added to the nostalgia for a few Liberal true believers, as they mark a quarter of a century since their biggest election victory.
In the wake of the State Bank collapse – and on a similarly unseasonably wet December day – the then-Labor government was decimated at the ballot-box by an angry and demoralised electorate, with Dean Brown's government sworn in 25 years ago today.
Brown told InDaily he would be joining past and present Liberal ministers at a celebration tonight to mark the occasion, organised by Deputy Premier Vickie Chapman, whose father Ted was one of Brown's key confidants.
The 120-strong guest list includes Premier Steven Marshall and federal frontbenchers Christopher Pyne and Simon Birmingham, as well as Brown's former rival and successor John Olsen, who is now the party's state president.

Brown led the Libs to a remarkable 60.9 per cent two-party vote, taking 37 of the 47 seats in the House of Assembly.
However, he recalled today "the mess we were left with – the State Bank, SGIC, Beneficial Finance, the economy – our very high unemployment and a very significant debt".
But he noted the importance of "the fact we set out with a very clear plan".
The mood will be buoyant after a big week for the Libs, with major announcements on Whyalla and an SA-based space agency.
Brown, however, isn't one for self-promotion – a point emphasised by former staffer and journalist Christian Kerr in a Facebook tribute last night.
"It is 25 years since a wise, good and humble man – maybe a bit too humble – was entrusted with the job of premier of South Australia by an overwhelming majority of the people of the state in daunting conditions," Kerr wrote.
"The state remains the ugly duckling of our federation [and] I fear it may flag before it ever flies… but it has had some great leaders from both sides of the fence, backed up by conscientious and hardworking ministers.
"Dean is a self-effacing man who has always concentrated on the job at hand rather than glory, but his efforts must not go without recognition."
And indeed they didn't, with several commenters chiming in with their own reflections.
Celebrity chef Ian Parmenter noted that "it was because of Dean Brown and John Olsen that we got Tasting Australia off the ground in 1997", remarking that it is "still the best food festival the country has ever hosted!"
Sue Lawrie, a serial Liberal candidate and Pyne staffer, pointed out this week's "wild, wet and windy" weather – "exactly like that day 25 years ago".
The most telling contributions, however, came from a couple of Labor luminaries, with current frontbencher and party powerbroker Tom Koutsantonis commenting: "I always had time for Dean, he is a good man."
That was followed by a statesmanlike reflection from the man who stepped in to lead Labor to its most bitter defeat – former Premier Lynn Arnold, now an assistant priest at St Peter's Cathedral.
"Someone reminded me this week of this anniversary," he wrote.
"A quarter of a century! How time flies. Dean was a worthy successor."
Over it
Who's advising Transport Minister Stephan Knoll on The Overland debacle? Quite possibly, someone with an intimate knowledge of how the historic service has chugged into trouble.
Knoll was like the cat that ate the cream this week when the Victorian Government stepped in to save Australia's oldest city-to-city passenger rail service – the Overland connecting Adelaide and Melbourne.
Knoll, fast emerging as the State Government's keenest budget slasher, had decided against continuing a subsidy for the service which has operated at a loss for many years.
The annoyed Victorian Labor Government stepped in to fill the breach – at least for the next 12 months.
Knoll welcome the move on Twitter: "SA taxpayers shouldn't subsidise this service and people need to vote with their feet and use the Overland if they want it to continue!"
Labor said that was "pathetic".
So taxpayers just saved $1.2m and Labor label it pathetic https://t.co/X7d5C0v3Zs
— Stephan Knoll (@stephanknoll) December 11, 2018
One wonders what advice he has been receiving from his newly-minted department boss, Tony Braxton-Smith.
Braxton-Smith has much experience in the travails of The Overland – he once ran it as boss of Great Southern Rail.
In 2005, he led the charge to secure a new funding agreement with then Labor Transport Minister Pat Conlon.
As a result of this pitch to Cabinet, The Overland secured Government funding and changed to a daylight service.
He also pushed a cunning plan to make the subsidy a zero-sum game for Government (kind of…).
"In relation to funding, we note that over the next five years the total sum is approximately the same as the amount we will pay your department on the ground lease of Keswick…," he wrote to Conlon. "Should it be convenient, we will be pleased to consider an agreement offsetting one against the other."
Maybe a similar level of creativity is needed today.
Not quite NASA
Steven Marshall had one of his best moments as Premier this week when he was joined by PM Scott Morrison to announce that Adelaide had won the right to host the Australian Space Agency.
Morrison said it had been was the Premier's powers of persuasion – over and above anything and anybody else – that won the day for SA.
"It was Steven Marshall," said the Prime Minister, met with laughter from the assembled press pack and others.
"I'm not kidding – it's Steven Marshall."
He added: "When we first started discussing this and we were putting out all the states, Steven Marshall had one message to me when it came to the space agency, which was 'beam me up, Scotty!'"
Marshall, for his part, repeatedly thanked the PM for choosing South Australia and expressed sincere gratitude to all involved in the campaign to convince the feds to let us have it.
Well, not all involved.
Liberal Party turncoat, Weatherill Government Defence Industries Minister Martin Hamilton-Smith, launched the campaign early last year, having extolled the state's ambitions in a space industries strategy published in 2015, but failed to rate a mention.
Regardless of the origins of its conception, the Australian Space Agency has very big ambitions for a very small office.
By coordinating, licensing, regulating and assessing space-related activities, and identifying "opportunities", the agency is tasked with indirectly creating 20,000 jobs and tripling the value of the Australian space industry to $12 billion.
With a budget of $41 million over four years – just over $10 million a year – that might be a bit of an ask.
Certainly, it's no NASA.
The Advertiser on Wednesday.
The annual budget of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency is $19 billion, and growing.
While having a different role to many of them, the Australian Space Agency will also be relatively quaint in comparison to other publicly-funded space agencies across the globe.
Agencies representing Russia, Germany, France, Japan, Italy, China and India each boast budgets in the billions of US dollars.

The players who own goals have been scored in League history
Arribas is one of the players most own goals in league history. PHOTO: Brand
Who are the players who more goals have been scored an own goal? Note by scoring goals is a nice thing but do own goal by scoring both no longer although it is more common than it seems. Football history is full of Own goals thus, we will remember who those players who more times have done in the history of the Spanish League.
Players with more own goals in the league
Alejandro Arribas: Central Madrid is one of the players who has scored more goals in own net with 5 distributed between Osasuna (1), Thunderbolt (1), Sevilla (1) and Deportivo La Coruna (2) spearheading this particular ranking with players who come here then.
Fernando Caceres: the "negro" It was one of the best plants that have gone through the history of the Spanish League. He played at a good level at Zaragoza, Valencia and Celta. However during his time in the Spanish championship, he scored 5 goals in his own net.
Loren: in the 80-90 He played of forward in Real Sociedad, but also he had a step by Athletic. From overnight, He went to play from end to center, from night to day, but he did not forget the nose for goal but to get the Own goals. Did 5 sometimes.
Sergi Barjuán: bravo side of Barcelona, the Spanish team and Atletico Madrid in its final stage as a professional was one of the players who scored several goals in own goal throughout his long career. Specifically he made 5, in its own frame.
Diego Rodríguez: It was a fierce exchange that made the best of his career in that the embattled Sevilla 90 but also she had its passage through the Betis when he was young. Also noteworthy as being a player who delivered some wax, He was labeled 5 Own goals.
But for curious data Diego Mariño. Footballers those described above goals were scored in more than a decade of race in all cases however, Levante goalkeeper got into an exercise of bad luck in one of them, a whopping 3 Own goals this season 2015/16.

Low chance of LPA becoming a storm, but will bring rain in Palawan, Visayas, Mindanao
Pagasa satellite image as of 7 a.m., March 9, 2022
MANILA, Philippines — The low-pressure area (LPA) south of Zamboanga City will bring rain in the southern portion of Palawan and in Visayas and Mindanao, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Wednesday.
According to Pagasa, the LPA was last spotted 45 kilometers south of Zamboanga City as of 3 a.m.
"Nananatili itong mababa ang tsansa na maging bagyo at dahil sa LPA, nakakaranas tayo ng maulap na kalangitan na may mga pag-ulan sa bahagi ng Mindanao, Visayas at ganoon din sa southern portion ng Palawan," Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said in a weather forecast.
(This LPA still has a low chance of developing into a storm but it is causing cloudy skies with rain in Mindanao, Visayas, and in the southern portion of Palawan.)
Meanwhile, Aurelio said that the shearline, or the convergence of cold and warm winds, is affecting the eastern Visayas. He added that the northeast monsoon, locally known as amihan, affects Luzon and the rest of Visayas.
Based on Pagasa's forecast, the northeast monsoon will bring cloudy skies with light rains in Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Quezon, and Bicol Region, and partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains in Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.
Below is the forecast temperature range in key cities or areas:
Metro Manila: 24 to 32 degrees Celsius
Baguio City: 15 to 24 degrees Celsius
Laoag City: 23 to 31 degrees Celsius
Tuguegarao: 21 to 28 degrees Celsius
Legazpi City: 23 to 29 degrees Celsius
Puerto Princesa City: 25 to 32 degrees Celsius
Tagaytay: 20 to 29 degrees Celsius
Kalayaan Islands: 26 to 32 degrees Celsius
Iloilo City: 25 to 30 degrees Celsius
Cebu: 25 to 30 degrees Celsius
Tacloban City: 25 to 29 degrees Celsius
Cagayan De Oro City: 25 to 29 degrees Celsius
Zamboanga City: 25 to 29 degrees Celsius
Davao City: 24 to 31 degrees Celsius

Working on a calculator in her math class, senior Masa Arnaoot and her family left Syria for the United States just after civil war engulfed the country.
The Syrian Civil War, a conflict that takes place nearly 7,000 miles away in the Middle East, is a world away for most students on campus.
But for senior Masa Arnaoot, the conflict strikes close to home, real close.
Residential block in downtown Damascus looks peaceful despite a civil war raging in Syria's countryside.
The conflict in Syria erupted just before Arnaoot and her family left Syria to live in the U.S.
Arnaoot's father got his education in the U.S. before moving back to Syria, and he wanted the same for his daughters.
Despite the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Syria, Arnaoot says that when she left, she felt somewhat safe in her home town.
While Arnaoot's immediate family moved to the U.S. when the Syrian civil war broke out, some family members on her dad's side remain in Syria.
The Zulghina family still lives where Arnaoot and her family used to: the capital of Syria, Damascus.
Noor Zulghina, Arnaoot's cousin who still lives in Syria, says that their family has become accustomed to living in war conditions.
Zulghina says that despite the harsh conditions brought about by the war, it has managed to bring out the good in people.
The Zulghina family still lives where Arnaoot and her family used to: the capital of Syria, Damascus. However, Noor says that staying in Damascus is worth it.
The war continues to be a barrier for the Arnaoot family, as the family says they have planned to return to Syria to see their family again, but have been dissuaded from going each time by events from inside Syria.
This year's reason for not going to Syria was the sarin attack on April 4 in the town of Khan Shaykhun, a rebel held territory a little over 50 miles from Damascus.
An outdoor fountain park in Damascus Syria still brings some locals outside despite the 5 year civil war raging outside the city.
Arnaoot said she supported the actions President Trump took when retaliating to the most recent chemical attacks.
With the Syrian Civil War nearing seven years of existence and the conflict having no end in sight, Arnaoot hopes people realize that despite the war, Syrians did not lose their humanity.

For us mums and dads it can be a shock when your children grow up – suddenly those little people who have taken up every ounce of your spare time for the past 18 years are adults, ready to take on the world and go out alone. And as you look at them, beautiful young people with their line-free faces, with more energy than you can ever remember having, it's easy to feel left behind. It doesn't have to be that way.
Now that your children are flying the nest, you have more time to devote to yourself, your own health and wellness. Hollywood mums Cindy Crawford, Goldie Hawn and Reese Witherspoon all have stunning grown children to be proud of – but to look at them you'd hardly know they weren't their daughters' sisters, rather than their mothers.
We take a look at the tricks our favourite celebrity mums are using to make sure they look every inch as glowing and beautiful as their children.
Yasmin Le Bon is "embracing" ageing but when she turned up at London Fashion Week with her daughter Amber, 28, the 52-year-old former supermodel looked like her daughter's twin! The pair wore outfits that complemented each other's colour scheme, and with their lustrous locks and stunning facial features it certainly did not look like there was 24 years between them.
When it comes to beauty, she has a few secrets. Her key to taking care of her skin from the inside out? "Take a good balanced supplement," she says. Lumity is her supplement of choice, and not only does it help her achieve her stunning glowing skin, it also has a great effect on her hormones post-menopause.
At 51 years old, Cindy Crawford looks as beautiful as ever and is a positive inspiration for mums everywhere. Her stunning daughter Kaia, 16, has just started modelling and looks set to have a career as stellar as her mother's. Beautiful genes are at play here, without a doubt! "Beauty, to me, is really about two things: confidence and passion," says the former supermodel, perhaps explaining how she seems to get more stunning with each passing year – there's nothing like the passing of years to build confidence in who you are. But there are also a few fabulous self-help tips we can borrow from Cindy.
Firstly, exercise your neck. "If you keep those muscles toned, it helps preserve the line of your jaw," Cindy advises. She recommends lying on your back and raising your head off the surface. Then, without putting your head back down, bend your chin to your chest. Then put your head down. She does three sets of 10 but advises working up to it.
This mother and daughter duo don't only share their incredibly beauty, but also their fun, bubbly personality. They're both busy mums, and while there's 33 years between them (Goldie is 71, Kate, 38) it's not just down to chance that they both looks so beautiful – it's down to healthy living.
At 41 years old, there's no question that Hollywood's sweetheart Reese Witherspoon could be her daughter Ava's twin. Now 18 years old, young Ava has inherited both her mother's stunning looks and her flowing blond locks. But ask mum Reese about their similar appearance and she's in no doubt as to who looks best!
The main reason Reese and Ava mange to look so great is their shared a commitment to healthy living. Reese is a dedicated runner and is often seen pounding the pavements near her Los Angeles home, with a trainer or other mum friends. And as soon as her kids, both Ava, and her middle child, Deacon, now 13, were old enough, Reese got her kids to come along on runs with her too.

Home Small Business EBay Wins Patent Ruling
EBay Wins Patent Ruling
By Tim Gray | March 30, 2005
Online auction giant eBay won the latest round in its patent infringement fight with MercExchange Tuesday when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office handed down a ruling that could invalidate one of the Virginia-based company's patents.
If the action is upheld it would invalidate the patent that led to a $25 million judgment against eBay.
MercExchange, a vendor of custom software for online auctions, messaging and streamcasting, first sued eBay in November 2001 for allegedly violating three of its patents. The suit revolves around eBay's "Buy It Now" feature, which lets users pay through PayPal with a credit card or with other PayPal funds.
The patent office ruled the patent to be invalid because it claimed the inventions were either obvious or had been anticipated by other patents, according to a statement posted on its Web site.
"The patent office rulings have put a major cloud over MercExchanges's key patents," Jay Monahan, eBay vice president of intellectual property, said in a statement. "eBay has maintained all along that the patents are not valid, and the patent office seems to agree."
As previously reported by internetnews.com, a federal jury ordered eBay to pay $35 million in damages after it found the company infringed on several MercExchange patents.
However, in response to eBay's March 2004 request, the patent office reexamined the patent and released its ruling Tuesday.
MercExchange will have a chance to appeal the ruling, which could spark another round of legal wrangling between the companies.
"We will deal with this office action, like all previous office actions during the prosecution of our patents in the ordinary course," Thomas G. Woolston, the owner of MercExchange, said in a statement.


The word "bellicose" is defined by Merriam Websters as "favoring or inclined to start quarrels or wars".
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has accused Iran of building sites to produce missiles in Syria and Lebanon during a meeting with the UN secretary-general, António Guterres – part of increasingly bellicose rhetoric from Israel and the US against Tehran.
So, what "bellicose rhetoric" by Israel is Beaumont referring to?
The remarks, made by Netanyahu at the beginning of a meeting with Guterres on Monday, come against a background of growing Israeli anxiety over the expanding Iranian influence on its northern border.
Netanyahu accused Iran of turning Syria into a "base of military entrenchment as part of its declared goal to eradicate Israel".
Earlier in August, Israeli media broadcast what it said were images from Israel's Eros B satellite, showing a site in north-west Syria near the town of Baniyas that it claimed was intended to be a missile storage site.
Were you able to spot the "bellicose" Israeli rhetoric? We certainty weren't. Is Beaumont suggesting that Israeli warnings concerning ongoing Iranian threats to annihilate Israel represent "bellicose" rhetoric? Of course, such bellicose threats by Iranian leaders are ubiquitous, and impossible to deny. As recently as this past February, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei characterised Israel as a "cancerous tumor" and called for a "holy intifada" to destroy the country.
It really takes a lot of ideological conditioning to cover tensions between Israel and Iran, and not only ignore or obfuscate Iran's genocidal threats, but to frame Israel as the belligerent party in the dispute.
Beaumont is a prick. I wish that he would get off his arse and go and do some reporting from the destroyed Syrian towns. Or from the Syrian refugee camps in Jordan.
I wonder, if he did go to the Syrian refugee camps, if he would self identify as a Guardian reporter?
How dare Jews point out whenever somebody that has declared their intent to commit genocide against them is actually doing that! This is 'bellicose rhetoric', then everything that the Guardian posts against Israel is bellicose rhetoric.
I asks myself how Guardian will describes if Israel will publicly declared, Israel will destroy Jordan ir Lebanon, etc, etc ?
Alternatively, I wonder how the Guardian descries North Korea's Kim and his bellicose threats against the United States of America.
Jez, North Korea, though a despicable regime, seeks to develop its own Nuclear deterrent. US has one, UK has one, poverty stricken India has one. Israel(not a signatory to the the NPT) even has one.
Threats and sanctions first appeared from Western countries in an effort to have NK stop its development. NK has threatened back.
Actually, the US had an agreement with NK whereby it would eventually end its nuclear program. They took the money and reneged. Surprise!

Aztec calendar, dating system based on the Mayan calendar and used in the Valley of Mexico before the destruction of the Aztec empire. Like the Mayan calendar, the Aztec calendar consisted of a ritual cycle of 260 days and a 365-day civil cycle. The ritual cycle, or tonalpohualli, contained two smaller cycles, an ordered sequence of 20 named days and a sequence of days numbered from 1 to 13. The 13-day cycle was particularly important for religious observance, and each of the 20 numbered cycles within the ritual year was associated with a different deity. Similarly, each named day was associated with a unique deity, and scholars believe that the combinations of ruling deities were used for divination. The civil year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each, plus an additional 5 days called nemontemi and considered to be very unlucky. Again as in the Mayan calendar, the Aztec ritual and civil cycles returned to the same positions relative to each other every 52 years, an event celebrated as the Binding Up of the Years, or the New Fire Ceremony. In preparation, all sacred and domestic fires were allowed to burn out. At the climax of the ceremony, priests ignited a new sacred fire on the breast of a sacrificial victim, from which the people rekindled their hearth fires and began feasting.

My next challenge involved building and growing Junior Achievement here in Central Oregon where I worked with our local schools and a high-level Advisory Board to provide educational opportunities for students in the areas of entrepreneurship, job skills, and financial literacy. My most recent career opportunity was with St. Charles Health System, the largest employer in Central Oregon.
As an active volunteer in the Bend-LaPine school system, I have driven various leadership positions with the PTA and in the classroom, working closely with teachers and leading reading groups. Today, I serve on the Welcome Committee for our neighborhood Homeowners Association in Three Pines.
In my free time, I enjoy exploring local hiking trails, the Cascade lakes, and waterfalls in the area with friends, family and our dog, Buddy Beeh. During the winter months, the 20-minute drive to Mt. Bachelor is our playground.

How To Register A Trademark in 4 Easy Steps
// textarea { width:600px;height:80px; }
If you want to protect your company's brand and identity, trademark registration is essential. Many companies put off filing an application, because they think the process is too complex, or even unnecessary. It might be an involved process, but it can be broken down into four easy steps. Follow along and learn how to file a trademark application with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) with minimal frustration.
Perform A Comprehensive Search
Do you like wasting money? If so, then you can skip Step #1. For everyone else, performing a comprehensive trademark search is the most important step in the process. How can you expect the USPTO to approve your trademark application if you haven't checked to make sure that it isn't too similar to another registered trademark?
There is a standard to which new trademarks are held:
Likelihood of Confusion
If the mark on an application might cause consumers to confuse the applied-for mark with an existing trademark, the USPTO will reject the application. So not only do you have to look for exact matches of your mark, but you also have to look out for marks that could be considered "confusingly similar".
That's why a trademark attorney can provide invaluable assistance. While anyone can search Google and the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) for free, an attorney provides two distinct advantages:
1. An attorney has the experience to properly use the TESS database. Remember, your search isn't complete if there are no exact matches. An attorney can seek marks that could be considered "confusingly similar".
2. An attorney has access to databases containing common law trademarks and state trademark registrations. Not all valid trademarks are registered with the USPTO. Searching common law trademark databases and state trademark databases further ensures the validity of your trademark application.
Here's a prominent example. In 2010, Snooki, of Jersey Shore fame, attempted to trademark her name. However, her application was preliminarily refused because the rights to a similar name, "Adventures of Snooky," had already been registered for a series of children's books. Although the names were spelled differently, the USPTO refused Snooki's application, because the similarity of the names was enough to potentially confuse consumers in the marketplace. An experienced trademark attorney could have caught the alternate spelling, Snooky in addition to Snooki, and saved the Jersey Shore star a few hundred dollars.
File a Trademark Application
If you did your due diligence with Step #1, you're ready to file your trademark application. In one way, it's as easy as filling out an online form. In another way, there are some complexities. You of course have to fill out the application with care and attention to detail. But you'll have an important choice to make before you type one letter on the application.
TEAS or TEAS Plus?
When you go to the trademark application webpage, you'll see this choice. The simple method is to file the TEAS form. It costs $50 more, but it requires far less of the applicant. If you prefer to save $50, TEAS Plus is a great option.
What's required of you on a TEAS Plus application:
You must fill out every field — they're all mandatory
You must select a class of goods or services from the Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual. On a basic TEAS form you have an opportunity for free-text entries, but on the TEAS Plus form you have to stick with the classes and descriptions that the USPTO provides.
You agree to file all future communications through the TEAS system
You agree to receive all future communications from the USPTO via e-mail
You pay all fees at the time of application
IMPORTANT NOTE: The USPTO will charge you the extra $50 per class of goods and services if at any point you violate these terms.
It's worth noting that the contents of the trademark application form can have important legal implications that you may not understand on your own. For this reason, it's best to have an attorney on hand to guide you through the process.
Monitor Your Application
The third step is the easiest of them all, but it's also the most frustrating. You'll probably spend a lot of time refreshing web pages, hoping that there's some update on your trademark application. Chances are that after you file your application you'll have some waiting to do. The general timeline before you hear anything:
The good news: You will eventually hear back from the USPTO. The better news: if the examining attorney finds no fault with your application, you'll move on to Step #4 and be one step closer to a final trademark registration.
The bad news: You could face some rough times at this point. The USPTO might issue an Office Action. Or worse, you might get the dreaded:
Relax. Chances are the USPTO won't outright refuse your application. Typically they'll give you six months to amend your application and resubmit, correcting the issues the examining attorney raises.
One big reason the USPTO issues Office Actions: the mark is merely descriptive. Apple ran into this problem when they filed a trademark application for IPAD MINI. They filed the application in November 2012, not long after the product launched. But the USPTO issued an Office Action, stating that the mark was merely descriptive. Apple already owned trademark rights to "IPAD" and MINI acts merely as a description of the existing mark. Later the USPTO changed its initial refusal and allowed Apple to continue with its registration, provided that it disclaims any rights to the use of the word MINI apart from the mark as shown.
Finalize Your Registration
Approval of your trademark application is a big milestone, but it is not the end of the process. Although the USPTO has many resources at its disposal, it cannot examine likelihood of confusion in the same way as trademark owners can. To ensure that your mark does not potentially cause confusion among consumers, the USPTO will publish your mark in the Trademark Official Gazette, a weekly publication. This is where your mark is put to the test.
Any companies that believe your registration may infringe on their own trademark rights has 30 days to state its opposition. If a company does file an opposition, your case will move to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).
If a company does oppose your trademark registration, it is not the end of the world. In many cases, companies will file oppositions to any mark that bears even the slightest resemblance to one of their marks. They want to fully protect their trademark rights and avoid dilution of their mark. There is a chance that your mark will pass through eventually (though possibly after you spend money on legal defense).
A prominent example involves video game developer King.com Ltd., makers of the massively popular game Candy Crush Saga. When Stoic Studio filed a trademark application for their game, The Banner Saga, King.com filed an opposition. They had a pending application for CANDY CRUSH SAGA and didn't want Stoic's use of the word SAGA to dilute their own mark. The public at large might have seen this as ludicrous — the games are nothing alike and surely King.com can't own the word "saga" — but King.com was merely trying to prevent dilution of its own mark. A year before that, the developer Alfred Ransom of Runsome Apps, filed an opposition to King.com's trademark application for CANDY CRUSH SAGA. Since 2010, Ransom has owned trademark rights to the name of his game, "CANDYSWIPE".
In early 2014 all cases were settled. King.com and Stoic Studios will continue with their respective trademark applications, while Ransom will continue to own trademark rights to "CANDYSWIPE".
If no company opposes your mark, congratulations! The USPTO will send you a certificate of registration by mail. Typically this will take about three months. You will also receive instructions about how to preserve your trademark, so that you don't lose rights over time.

Q: Debian wlan0 interface not found I have troubles to configure my wireless card in Debian Wheezy. I followed the instruction from: https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi
It is a fresh debian install, before this i ran Ubuntu but because I had some troubles with it (not wireless related problems) I decided to give Debian wheezy a try.
Note: Wireless worked out of the box running the latest Ubuntu version.
Before installed the Debian I checked my wireless card it told me it was:
8086:0083 Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [Condor Peak]

Note: internal wireless card on laptop: Dell XPS L502x
this card is also in the list of supported devices, so i installed Debian, installed the iwlwifi module. that enabled the 'Wireless' tab at the network manager. But iwconfig tells me that there is no wlan0 interface found.
so i ran lspci -nn | grep Wireless on the debian terminal and it stated: (see the difference to the numbers in the beginning)
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [Condor Peak] [8086:0083]

output: rfkill list all (i had to install rfkill first, maybe it is a sign more is missing? )

Wireless-N 1000 BGN, REV=0x6C

Do i have to manually 'start' the wireless card before it is able to scan the networks? Do you have any suggestions for me to make it work?

A: Problem solved!
i had to install the following package: firmware-iwlwifi (0.36+wheezy.1) [non-free]

Individuals Are Continents; or, Why It's Time to Retire the Island Approach to Addiction.
Title Individuals Are Continents; or, Why It's Time to Retire the Island Approach to Addiction.
Authors Tootle, William, James Ziegler, and Merrill Singer
Journal Substance use & misuse
Date Published 2015 Mar 16
Abstract Individuals are not island isolates. This is an old insight that finds expression in indigenous worldviews, ancient philosophies, religious doctrine, and modern social theories. Even so, science remains encumbered by the false dichotomies and reductionism inherited from the capitalist revolution and reinforced by the fragmentation of modern life. This same heritage encumbers addiction research and efforts to devise effective interventions. It does so because the island concept at its core filters out the most decisive factors contributing to addiction. We therefore recommend its replacement with what we call the continental concept of the individual, which conceives of society and the natural environment as extensions of individual corporeal bodies. Such a theoretical reorientation has significant implications for intervention research and practice. More specifically, it radically expands the scope of what constitutes a valid intervention in the first place. We call this reorientation the continental approach to drug addiction.

Illegal cigarettes found in premises rented by PMB man
The Pietermaritzburg regional court heard yesterday that cigarettes found at premises rented by a man, now standing trial, did not have the SA diamond stamp.
Warrant officer Barend Pienaar said this meant tax was not paid on them.
He was testifying in the trial of Ismail Adam Bhiku (27), who is charged with being in possession of illicit goods, for which he did not pay over R3 million tax to SARS.
It is alleged that Bhiku leased a storage unit at the Yellowdot Storage Park in Howick. Police searched the unit on August 12, 2016 and found cigarettes that are not meant to be in the country. They included 20 master cases and 41 cartons of Pacific cigarettes, 41 master cases and four packets of Dullah cigarettes, 77 master cases of Chelsea cigarettes and 49 cartons and eight packets of Seville cigarettes.
The following year in December, police searched his residential address and found 216 master cases of Pacific Blue cigarettes.
Pienaar said Bhiku was shown a search warrant before police searched the unit, adding that photographs were taken of the unit before and after the officers entered it. Pienaar said that when the cigarette boxes were inspected, the tar and nicotine content depicted on the boxes was higher than what is allowed in South Africa.
Bhiku denies the allegations. He said he had sublet the unit where the first batch of cigarettes was found.
He also said that the police search warrant issued did not comply with the legal standards set out in the law. Thus, any item found is inadmissible in legal proceedings.
Bhiku also said that the unit was searched in his absence and that the warrant was issued on information that was not verified or correct.
Of his home being searched, Bhiku said that police came to the premises, which he owns with someone else, on the pretext of serving a summons on him. A search warrant was produced and the premises were searched.
He said the search warrant also did not have any legal basis. It should have had an accompanying affidavit to allow him the opportunity to challenge or dispute it.
The case continues today.


The ritzy Manhattan condominium owned by late talk show host and comedian Joan Rivers sold for nearly $30 million this week, reportedly to royalty from the Middle East.
The apartment was listed for sale in February, five months after the "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best" star and "The Celebrity Apprentice" winner suddenly died while undergoing an endoscopy in New York City.
CNBC reported Wednesday that the buyers were members of Middle East royalty, but their identities were not revealed.
Rivers' condo has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, and occupies the top three levels of the apartment building located at 1 E. 62nd St. in Manhattan.
"It's what Marie Antoinette would have done, if she had money," Rivers once quipped.
A couple years ago, she described the condo as "Louis XIV meets Fred and Ginger," the New York Daily News reported.
Whoever the buyer was, they likely paid cash for the apartment, the CNBC report said.
