Dell has announced something that will bring a wondrous joy to every photo and video editing professional: a 32-inch monitor with the resolution of 7680 x 4320, putting the PPI at 280.
If you are more familiar with Apple’s marketing speak; this 8K monitor is what Apple would call a ‘Retina Display.’ It’s truly insane. This one display is the equivalent of four 4K displays or sixteen 1080p displays stacked together side-by-side.
In fact, that’s how Dell is asking is expecting customers to rationalize its price; pretend that you are buying four 4K monitors.
Dell is making sure every unit that rolls out the factory is accurately color-calibrated; the monitor has 100% coverage for the AdobeRGB color gamut as well.
This product is only the 2nd of its kind; while Sharp introduced a 27-inch 8K monitor in October last year, it never actually hit the retail shelves. Dell, on the other hand, is pushing this display for production.
The only display technology that supports the 8K resolution is DisplayPort 1.4; though, you might need quite a lot of graphics horsepower to push pixels for such an extraordinary resolution.
Dell hasn’t made more details clear: we don’t know what inputs this monitor has, or whether it somehow uses multiple inputs to render one image – like a multi-monitor setup would.
Pricing & Availability
As mentioned in the title, the price sits at a whopping $4,999; considering how unique this product is, the price is worth paying, if you seek what the monitor has to offer.
Dell has given it a name that simply rolls off the tongue: UP3218K, and expects it to go on sale by March 23rd.

International cricketing legend Brian Lara was in Dubai this weekend as guest of honour at the official inauguration of a new cricket academy. The GEMS Heritage Cricket Academy situated in the grounds of the recently opened GEMS Heritage Indian School is a one of its kind world-class facility. The cricket academy is open to children from as young as 3 up to 16 years old, and features state of the art technology and technology driven training by ICC qualified coaches.
Speaking to Connector on the new academy, Brian Lara said "This is very, very impressive. The fact that they want to create an environment, an academy where cricket can be played from a very early age, bodes well for the future. In the UAE we have of course a lot of different cultures, a lot of kids from all around the world, who have this opportunity in perfect weather conditions, especially between October and April. It is gong to be an awesome sight to see in about 5 to 6 years, when we see the great benefits of this.”
Also at the ceremony was Sunny Varkey Founder of GEMS Education, who said: “I am proud to see the establishment of such an important initiative to promote cricket – a sport so loved in India, my home country, as well as in the UAE, my home. I am also immensely pleased to see this special academy come to fruition as one of the standout USPs of GEMS Heritage Indian School. We are laying the foundations of a glorious cricketing future for our students, the school, GEMS Education and the nation as a whole, and I look forward to seeing the cricketing stars of tomorrow develop their skills today in our academy.”
The official inauguration also featured the launch of the Heritage Cup, an inter schools cricket tournament featuring the top talent across 21 schools in the UAE, with the aim to showcase the up and coming cricket talent in the country, and give young players the chance to put into play all they have practiced throughout the season and test their skills against each other.

On February 25, 2016 the Permanent Committee of the Polish Council of Ministers approved and recommended a Bill to amend the Tax Ordinance introducing an anti-tax avoidance clause (the “GAAR”). We estimate that the Bill will soon be accepted by the Council of Ministers and presented to the Polish parliament.
The GAAR is designed as a new tool that the tax authorities can use to reclassify business transactions in situations where a taxpayer was demonstrated to have achieved substantial tax profits through tax avoidance strategies. The draft amendment will now allow the authorities to ignore artificial legal arrangements, which means taxpayers may end up having to pay the avoided tax with default interest and become exposed to criminal fiscal liability.
Applicability of the GAAR
The GAAR is to apply to legal arrangements devised first and foremost with the view to achieving a “tax benefit” that is inconsistent with the purpose and substance of tax laws in the given situation and if use of solutions of this kind is “artificial”. The bill requires certain circumstances to be taken into account when deciding whether a solution was in fact artificial or not. The first thing to consider is whether the solution in question is not excessively complex. For example, a transaction may be split up without any reasonable justification and carried through with the involvement of intermediaries despite there being no good business reason to involve them; there may be elements of the transaction designed to achieve a situation identical or nearly identical to the baseline situation, or mutually compensatory elements or elements that cancel each other out. Also, a solution may involve business risks incommensurate with the anticipated benefits other than tax gains, with the disproportion being so glaring that no rational entity would wish to opt for the given course of action. If that is the case, the arrangement will not be viewed as legitimate, as acceptable to a responsibly operating entity, pursuing lawful business objectives other than tax benefits inconsistent with the purpose and substance of tax laws.
Applicability of the GAAR is to be limited to cases when a taxpayer achieved an aggregate “tax benefit” in excess of PLN 100,000 in a given settlement period. The tax benefit may consist in the taxpayer reducing, avoiding or postponing its tax liability, creating a tax payment surplus or an entitlement to a tax refund, or increasing the amount of tax payment surplus or tax refund.
Consequences of the GAAR application envisaged in the Bill
In case of finding out that there are grounds for GAAR application, Minister of Finance, in a tax decision will determine or set the amount of tax due, confirm a tax payment surplus or set out the amount of this surplus and of the tax refund while ignoring the legal arrangements employed by the taxpayer and taxing the actual business transactions that took place (whenever circumstances suggest that these transactions were driven only by tax advantages), or while taking into account what is described as the “appropriate legal construction”, by which is meant a course of action which the taxpayer could have taken in the given circumstances if it wanted to act reasonably in pursuit of lawful objectives other than the achievement of tax benefits (in all other cases). The tax authorities would need to: (i) prove that the taxpayer’s intention was indeed to avoid taxation, (ii) demonstrate the tax benefit gained as a result, and (iii) demonstrate that an appropriate legal construction was available to the taxpayer.
The Bill provides that tax assessment decisions issued in cases concerning tax avoidance cannot be immediately enforceable. Once these decisions become final and non-appealable, the taxpayers will face no financial penalties other than default interest.
While a tax assessment proceeding is pending in tax avoidance cases, the parties involved may seek an opinion from the Council for Tax Avoidance Matters. This will be a collegiate body independent of the tax authorities, comprised of members: recommended by the Minister of Finance, appointed from among university academics, members of the Science Academy of Poland or research institutes, and recommended by the President of the Supreme Administrative Court from among the retired judges of this court, the Joint Government and Local Government Committee (Komisja Wspólna Rządu i Samorządu Terytorialnego), the Polish Tax Advisors Chamber (Krajowa Izba Doradców Podatkowych), the Minister of Justice, and the Social Dialog Council (Rada Dialogu Społecznego). The Council will issue non-binding opinions on whether the GAAR was applicable in a given case or not, at the request of the authority conducting the proceeding or of the taxpayer in the appeal proceeding.
Amendment of the VAT Act
In principle, the GAAR will not apply in cases concerning VAT, although the Bill adds a definition of “misuse of the law” to the VAT Act. In practice, solutions serving the same purpose as the GAAR are relied on in VAT-related cases adjudicated by the Court of Justice of the European Union and administrative courts.
Proposed legal remedies against the application of the GAAR
The Bill provides that the Minister of Finance may issue opinions disallowing the application of the GAAR. The intention is for these opinions to accord protection to taxpayers by providing guarantees that the GAAR will not apply to them. That said, the Minister of Finance will be able to amend an opinion already issued, on an ex officio basis, if it is found to be inconsistent with rulings of Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal or the Court of Justice of the European Union, with no additional protection offered to the taxpayer if this happens. If the described circumstances provide that the GAAR might be implemented, the Minister will refuse to issue an opinion.
Proceedings to issue an opinion of this kind will be conducted in accordance with special rules, and the entity applying for it will have to pay a fee of PLN 20,000. Both the opinions issued and the decisions to refuse them will be appealable to the competent administrative court.
New scope of protection accorded by tax rulings
The Bill also provides for important changes in the scope of protection offered by tax rulings. These will not cover facts or elements of future events constituting tax avoidance or VAT abuses. Moreover, if the GAAR is applied or a case of VAT abuse identified, the rule whereby a taxpayer acting in compliance with a tax ruling may not suffer harm or may benefit from increased protection will no longer apply. What this means is that if the GAAR is applied, the taxpayer may end up having to pay the outstanding tax with interest and face criminal fiscal liability without the benefit of protection accorded by its tax ruling. The Bill provides that the above rule will not apply to tax rulings issued before the new law comes into force.
The Bill represents yet another attempt at implementing a general anti-tax avoidance clause in Poland. Despite declarations to the contrary in the statement of grounds for the Bill, this new piece of legislation is not in line with the fundamental recommendations formulated by the Constitutional Tribunal when reviewing the previously proposed version of the GAAR (judgment of May 11, 2004, case file no. 4/03). The definition of “tax avoidance” includes vague wording requiring further interpretation. Also, no clear boundary was staked out between legitimate tax planning and tax avoidance.
Hearing what the Ministry of Finance has been saying recently, seeing the pace Parliament is now working at and bearing in mind the vacatio legis proposed for the new legislation (30 days), we could see the Bill passed into law in the second quarter of 2016. Once it becomes law, the GAAR will have the capacity to severely impact assessments of ongoing transactions.
The new regulations, being substantive in nature, will apply exclusively to actions taken after the Bill becomes law. That said, the Bill’s reasoning contains the warning that, “taxpayers ought to discontinue artificial solutions currently serving to avoid taxation” during the vacatio legis period. In practice, given the complexity of the existing solutions that might attract the attention of the authorities, each of them must be reviewed with an eye on the risk of the GAAR being applied.
We will keep you updated on any new developments, to give you sufficient advance warning of impending changes in the law. This will enable you to prepare for the promulgation of the GAAR.

20 -- Contemplation -- 20
HEXAGRAM NUMBER TWENTY –
Other titles: View, The Symbol of Steady Observation, Looking Down, Observation, Viewing, Looking Up, Observing, Admiration, To Examine, Rulers and Their Subjects, Introspection, Perception, Contemplation of the Work
Legge: Contemplation shows us a worshipper who has purified himself, but must still present his sacrifice with that dignified sincerity which inspires reverence.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Contemplation . The ablution has been made, but not yet the offering. Full of trust they look up to him.
Blofeld: Lookingdown.[This word often means “contemplation" and I have so translated it when the context so requires.] The ablution has been performed, but not the sacrifice. Sincerity inspires respect. [This is generally understood to mean that the first step has been taken or that one has bound oneself to follow a certain course...but that the main duties are yet to be performed.]
Liu:Observation. The hand-washing ritual is completed, but the sacrifice is still to come. All done and looked upon with sincerity.
Ritsema/Karcher:Viewing: hand-washing and-also not worshipping. Possessing conformity, like a presence. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of something seen from a distance, out of immediate reach. It emphasizes that carefully observing and divining the meaning is the adequate way to handle it...]
Shaughnessy: Looking Up. Washing the hands but not making offering; there is a return with head held high.
Cleary (1): Observing, one has washed the hands but not made the offering; there is sincerity, which is reverent.
Wu:Admiration indicates a worshipper washing his hands in preparation for the offerings, but not participating in it. He shows sincerity and awe.
Legge: The image of earth and wind moving above it form Contemplation. The ancient kings, in accordance with this, examined the different regions of the kingdom to see the ways of the people, and set forth their instructions.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The wind blows over the earth: the image of Contemplation. Thus the kings of old visited the regions of the world, contemplated the people, and gave them instruction.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes wind blowing across the earth. The ancient rulers visited the different regions to keep watch over their people and carefully instruct them.
Liu: The wind blowing over the earth symbolizes Observation. The ancient kings visited their territories, observed the people, and gave instruction.
Ritsema/Karcher: Wind moving above earth. Viewing. The Earlier Kings used inspecting on-all-sides, viewing the commoners to set-up teaching.
Cleary (1): Wind is over the earth, observing. Thus did the kings of yore set up education after examination of the region and observation of the people.
Cleary (2): Wind travels over the earth – observing.Kings of yore examined the regions and observed the people to set up education. [In Buddhist terms, the ancient Buddhas examined the “regions” of possible experience and observed the people in various states of being, then set up various teachings to accommodate them, just as the wind travels over the earth reaching everywhere.]
Wu: The wind pervades above the earth; this is Admiration. Thus the ancient kings inspected various regions of the country, observed the sentiments of the people, and laid down their instructions.
Confucius/Legge:Observation from above -- from the trigram of Flexibility surmounting the trigram of Docility. The ruler is in his correct central position, and thus exhibits his lessons to all below. He has purified himself, but not yet sacrificed. All beneath look to him and are transformed. When we contemplate the spirit-like way of heaven, we see how the four seasons proceed without error. The sages, in accordance with this spirit-like way, laid down their instructions, and all under heaven yield submission to them.
Legge: The Chinese character from which this hexagram is named is used in the sense of both seeing and being seen. The theme is the sovereign and his people -- how he shows himself to them, and how they in turn perceive him. The two dynamic lines at the top belong to the ruler, and the four magnetic lines below represent his subjects. In the Judgment the ruler is portrayed as a worshipper at the commencement of a sacrifice. He is the great Manifester in line five.
The lower trigram symbolizes earth, with the attribute of Docility; the upper trigram symbolizes wind, with the attributes of Flexibility and Penetration. Wind moving above the earth has the widest sweep, and nothing escapes its influence. The personal influence of the ruler effects much, but the ancient kings wished to add to that the power of published instructions which were specially adapted to the character and circumstances of the people.
The spirit-like way of heaven is the invisible order underlying the laws of nature. [Ed. Note: Ritsema/Karcher use the phrase: "Viewing Heaven's spirit tao... The all-wise person uses spirit tao to set-up teaching." Spirit(s), SHEN: independent spiritual powers that confer intensity on heart and mind by acting on the soul, KUEI; gods, daimons. Tao: way or path; ongoing process of being and the course it traces for each specific person or thing; keyword. The ideogram: go and head, leading and the path it creates.]
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: Contemplate your motivations and discern the purity of your intent. "Put your money where your mouth is.” or "Walk your talk.”
The Superior Man evaluates and rectifies his attitudes.
The "ancient kings” in the Image symbolize the creators of an original state of perfection -- an archetypal model toward which the superior man aspires. This idea is common to all mystical traditions, many of which depict this state in the image of an ideal or prototypical man. Here is a summary of the Gnostic conception:
Not only the body but also the "soul" is a product of the cosmic powers, which shaped the body in the image of the divine Primal (or Archetypal) Man and animated it with their own psychical forces: these are the appetites and passions of natural man, each of which stems from and corresponds to one of the cosmic spheres [i.e., planets] and all of which together make up the astral soul of man, his "psyche."
H. Jonas -- The Gnostic Religion
In the Kabbalah, the template of this archetypal man (named Adam Kadmon) exists in each of the four realms of consciousness corresponding to intuition, intellect, emotion and sensation, and "he" is perceived as androgynous in all of these worlds except the last -- the "sensation” world of our physical spacetime reality.
The Adam of these first three worlds was androgynous. The Adam of the fourth world is the Adam of the expulsion, the Adam of flesh traversing the desert of his exile, and the Adam capable of reproducing himself now that he is no longer androgynous.
C. Ponce -- Kabbalah
Considering that androgyny is one of the symbols used in the Western Mystery Tradition to depict the correct union of male and female forces within the psyche, we quickly recognize that the properly matched male and female correlate lines in theI Ching are a Chinese depiction of the identical concept. Note that the messages of the following three quotations are in complete accord with the goal of the Work as outlined in theI Ching:
Somewhere there is an Adam within each of us in need of restoration, in exile from the Garden. The aim of Kabbalism is the restoration of the divine man in the medium of mortal man. We are the laboratory and we are the workers who work in that space.
C. Ponce --Kabbalah
Within our six-foot body we must strive for the form which existed before the laying down of heaven and earth.
The Secret of the Golden Flower
The destiny of man is to build the Heavenly Jerusalem on Earth. In other words, to civilize a planet. It is the aim of the occultist, in consort with all men of good will, to bring about this heavenly fact into earthly reality. And the only way it will come about is by every man doing the right thing at the right time for twenty-four hours a day.
Gareth Knight -- The Work of a Modern Occult Fraternity
The ancient kings in hexagram number-20 base their laws upon their recognition of diversity among the various forces which make up the kingdom of the psyche. Their divine regulations therefore represent the proper ecology existing between heaven and earth, yin and yang, male and female, Logos and Eros. In this regard, theI Ching's version of the Archetypal Man might be seen as hexagram number-63, Completion, in which the polarity of each of the lines is in perfect correlation. (See the editor's commentary on Hexagram number 11 for further insights into this idea.)
The theme of the hexagram is Contemplationof your situation to see if your attitude meets the archetypal standards of the Work. The worshipper in the Judgment has purified himself for sacrifice but has not yet carried it out. Wilhelm uses the word "ablution” in his translation of the Judgment. An ablution is a ritual cleansing associated with a religious rite:
Ablution: In alchemy ... the adept worker achieves [success] only by purifying his soul of all that commonly agitates it. Washing, then, symbolizes the purification not so much of objective and external evil as of subjective and inner evils ... The principle involved in this alchemic process is that implied in the maxim "Deny thyself."
J. E. Cirlot --Dictionary of Symbols
It is important to note that the sacrifice has yet to be performed: preparation is meaningless until it is acted upon. Psychologically, this refers to intellectual "gnosis" which still needs to be grounded in behavior.
Wisdom is achieved very slowly. This is because intellectual knowledge, easily acquired, must be transformed into `emotional,' or subconscious, knowledge. Once transformed, the imprint is permanent. Behavioral practice is the necessary catalyst of this reaction. Without action, the concept will wither and fade. Theoretical knowledge without practical application is not enough ... Intellectually the answers have always been there, but this need to actualize by experience, to make the subconscious imprint permanent by `emotionalizing' and practicing the concept, is the key.
Brian L. Weiss, MD -- Many Lives, Many Masters
Without changing lines, Contemplation is an oracular invitation for you to consider your situation and especially your motivations in regard to it. One way of doing this is to reduce everything to a brief written statement, including your best conscious conclusions. Then ask for a comment from the oracle -- often it will become apparent that you have been undergoing a kind of examination.
SUGGESTIONS FOR MEDITATION
The ancient kings are mentioned in the Images of both this figure and number twenty-one, Discernment, immediately following. What are the differences between Contemplation and Discernment, as depicted in these images? How does the concept of sacrifice relate to this, as mentioned in the Judgment? Compare the Judgment of this hexagram with hexagrams and lines 17:6, 45:2, 46:2, 46:4, 47:2, 47:5 and 63:5 for further insights on this extremely important tenet of the Work.
Legge: The first line, magnetic, shows the looking of a child -- not blamable in those of inferior rank, but a matter of regret in superior men.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Boy-like contemplation. For an inferior man, no blame. For a superior man, humiliation.
Blofeld: Looking at things in a childish way is not blameworthy in ordinary people, but in the Superior Man it is a misfortune. [ It might be supposed that the Superior Man is incapable of such conduct; hence this passage must refer to one who is trying to be or who thinks himself a Superior Man.]
Liu: Childish observation. For inferior people, no blame. For superior people, humiliation.
Ritsema/Karcher: Youthful viewing. Small People: without fault. Chun tzu: abashment.
Shaughnessy: The youth looks up; for the little man there is no trouble, for the gentleman distress.
Cleary (1): Ignorant observation is not blamed in inferior people, but is shameful in superior people.
Cleary (2): Naïve observation is blameless in undeveloped people but shameful in developed people. [When undeveloped people are like children, this is not considered bad, but if developed people are like children, there is no way to govern nations and bring peace to earth.]
Wu: His view is like that of a child. There will be no error for a little man, but humiliation for a jun zi.
Confucius/Legge: This indicates the way of the inferior people. Wilhelm/ Baynes: The way of inferior people. Blofeld: For such conduct is suited to people of inferior worth. Ritsema/Karcher: Small People: tao indeed. Cleary (2): The naïve observation represented by the first yin is the way of underdeveloped people. Wu: Because this is the way of a little man.
Legge: Line one is magnetic and in the lowest place, which is also improper for it. This suggests the symbol of a thoughtless child who cannot see far -- one who takes only shallow and superficial views.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: At the outset, the man does not comprehend the nature of prevailing forces nor does he perceive them as a connected whole. The superficial view is acceptable for the masses, but the superior man should know better.
Wing: Are you just looking at the surface of the situation and its most superficial effect upon you? This is an inferior, unenlightened form of contemplation. The superior mind will attempt to see the situation as part of a larger whole. This way you can know its actual meaning in your life.
Editor: Legge's original translation of this line says "lad” instead of child. I have altered it to be more in conformance with the magnetic line. No meaning is lost. The line is completely unambiguous in all translations.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: But when I became a man, I put away childish things.
I Corinthians 13: 11
A. An image of immature and superficial perception.
B. Grow up and accept your responsibilities.
Legge: The second line, magnetic, shows one peeping out from a door. It would be advantageous if it were merely the firm correctness of a female.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Contemplation through the crack of the door. Furthering for the perseverance of a woman.
Blofeld: Watching through door-cracks is of advantage to women.
Liu: Observation through the cracks of doors. Women benefit by perseverance. [Now is a better time for action than for quiet.]
Ritsema/Karcher: Peeping-through Viewing. Harvesting: woman Trial.
Shaughnessy: Peeking a look up; beneficial for the maiden to determine.
Cleary (1): Peeking observation is beneficial for a woman’s chastity.
Wu: Onepeeps through a door. It will be advantageous for a persevering woman.
Confucius/Legge: The firm correctness of a woman in peeping out from a door is also a thing to be ashamed of in a superior man. Wilhelm/Baynes: "Contemplation through the crack of the door" is humiliating even where there is the perseverance of a woman. Blofeld: Nevertheless it is also shameful. [If the enquirer or the one for whom the enquiry is being made is a woman, she will gain by keeping a secret watch, but it cannot be done honorably in this case.]Ritsema/Karcher: Truly permitting the demoniac indeed. Cleary (2): (It) can also be shameful. Wu: It is nevertheless awkward.
Legge: Line two is magnetic in her proper place, showing a woman who lives retired and only able to peep through the crack of her door at her fifth-line correlate. But ignorance and retirement are proper in a woman.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The housewife is understandably ignorant of worldly affairs. But such a narrow, subjective view of reality is shameful for persons in public life.
Wing: If you have goals more ambitious than maintaining your own private world, if your dreams extend into the affairs of society, then you must develop a broader viewpoint. If you relate everything that comes your way in terms of your own life and attitudes, you cannot develop.
Editor: As hopefully enlightened moderns we wince at what seems to be outrageous male chauvinism in some of the lines of theI Ching, but if we understand the symbolism psychologically a non-sexist message comes through. (Dream symbolism also often offends our conscious convictions.) Female figures usually represent our instinctive responses and the emotional-feeling aspects of our personality. Correct behavior demands that emotional responses be kept in their proper place at "home" within the psyche. This line implies that the situation demands a more dynamic approach. Note however, that there is no overt value judgment other than by implication; the puritanical Confucian commentary is not necessarily always applicable. The line sometimes just portrays a partial, incomplete view of the situation, saying in effect that "there is more to the subject than meets the eye.”
If the doors to perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has so closed himself up till he sees all through narrow chinks of his cavern.
A. You have a restricted (possibly narrow-minded) point of view -- dispassionately widen your horizons.
Legge: The third line, magnetic, shows one looking at the course of her own life, to advance or recede accordingly.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Contemplation of my life decides the choice between advance and retreat.
Blofeld: By contemplating our own lives, we learn to advance or retreat as required by circumstances.
Liu: Observation of the circumstances of our lives determines whether to advance or retreat.
Ritsema/Karcher: Viewing my birth, advancing, withdrawing.
Shaughnessy: Looking up at my life advancing and retreating.
Cleary (1): Observing personal growth, promoting and repelling.
Cleary (2): … advancing and withdrawing.
Wu: He examines his own life to determine whether to advance or retreat.
Confucius/Legge: She will not err in the path to be pursued. Wilhelm/ Baynes: The right way is not lost. Blofeld: This is the way to keep to the right path. Ritsema/Karcher: Not-yet letting-go tao indeed. Cleary (2): One has not lost the way. Wu: He has not forsaken the principle.
Legge: The magnetic third line at the top of the lower trigram of Receptivity belongs to one of utmost docility. She wishes to act only according to the exigency of the time and circumstances, and will advance or recede accordingly.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man contemplates the effects of his actions in relation to the exigencies of the times rather than indulging in idle speculations. Only in this way is he able to formulate useful guidelines for behavior.
Wing: In order to make the correct decisions in your life, you must gain objective self-knowledge. This is not accomplished by exploring your own dreams, attitudes, and opinions. These are useless in self-examination. Instead, contemplate your effect upon the world around you. There you will find yourself.
Editor: Illusions of "free-will” to the contrary, it is probably accurate to say that most life experience is not within our control. If this is true, then our only meaningful choice is to determine how the Tao is flowing and then to put ourselves in harmony with it. Ritsema/Karcher's Confucian commentary reminds us of this: “Not-yet letting-go tao indeed.” The oracle is asking you to make a decision based on your own insight. You may regard it as a test.
Self-reflection or--what comes to the same thing--the urge to individuation gathers together what is scattered and multifarious, and exalts it to the original form of the One, the Primordial Man. In this way our existence as separate beings, our former ego nature, is abolished, the circle of consciousness is widened, and because the paradoxes have been made conscious the sources of conflict are dried up.
Jung -- Transformation Symbolism in the Mass
A. Examine your options in the matter at hand. What will be the consequences of the choice you contemplate in terms of the goals of the Work?
Legge: The fourth line, magnetic, shows one contemplating the glory of the kingdom. It will be advantageous for her, being such as she is, to seek to be a guest of the king.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Contemplation of the light of the kingdom. It furthers one to exert influence as the guest of a king.
Blofeld: Contemplating the conditions of a realm guides us as to whether we should become the ruler's guests. [In ancient China, many scholars, such as Confucius himself, wandered from kingdom to kingdom and princedom to princedom seeking a ruler wise and virtuous enough to profit by their teachings. It was by observing the splendors or miseries of each realm that they were able to form preliminary judgments and thus decide whether the ruler might be worth approaching or not. The implication is that we must not accept something as good without waiting to discover whether the alleged good qualities are genuine.]
Liu: Observation of the glory of the country. It is beneficial to exert influence as the guest of the leader.
Ritsema/Karcher: Viewing the city's shining. Harvesting: availing-of guesting tending-towards kinghood.
Shaughnessy: Looking up at the state's radiance; beneficial herewith to be entertained to audience by the king.
Cleary (1): Observing the glory of the country, it is beneficial to be a guest of a king.
Wu: He admires the glories of the nation. It will be advantageous to be an honored guest of the king.
Confucius/Legge: She contemplates the glory of the kingdom. Thence arises the wish to be a guest at court. Wilhelm/Baynes: One is honored as a guest. Blofeld: Those engaged in this way enjoy universal esteem. Ritsema/
Karcher: Honoring guesting indeed. Cleary (2): Esteeming guesthood. Wu: And the king honors his guest.
Legge: Line four, in a properly magnetic place is just below the properly dynamic fifth-line sovereign. She is moved accordingly, and stirred to ambition. The "glory of the kingdom" is the virtue of the sovereign and the noble character of his administration.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The person who is aware of the factors leading to the glory of the nation should be appointed by the king to an authoritative position. He should be honored rather than used as a tool.
Wing: You can now progress by Contemplating society and determining the best cause, leader, or organization you can join or support. This social awareness and its enactment will further your growth, for you can transcend your position as one of the masses and exert significant influence.
Editor: The first line of this hexagram is ignorant and superficial, and not a proper correlate. Line four correctly turns her eyes upward, sees the magnificence of the Work and accepts her responsibilities as an honor and sacred trust. The difference between lines one and four is the difference between callow ignorance and wisdom. The difference between lines three and four is the difference between ego issues and devotion to the Work.
Whereas in some traditions the object is to become detached from the world, Kabbalah states that while we are in exile we do the work given to Adam that is to till the ground and await the coming of the Messiah. This will occur when we are fit to receive him, and he may arrive at any moment for each of us. So our position is plain. We are where we are needed. No one can fill our place. Each one of us has a particular job in the universe, and we have the capability of fulfilling that destiny. But before we can perform it with the maximum efficiency, we have to know what we are and what is our capacity. For this purpose the Kabbalah is studied.
Z.B.S. Halevi -- Adam and the Kabbalistic Tree
A. Examine the situation at hand and do what needs to be done in accordance with the goals of the Work.
B. One accepts responsibility for the Work as an honor.
C. The Self is the source of your truth -- how may you best serve its purposes now?
Legge: The fifth line, dynamic, shows its subject contemplating his own life course. A superior man, he will thus fall into no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Contemplation of my life. The superior man is without blame.
Blofeld: The Superior Man does no wrong in keeping a watch upon our lives. [It is not wrong for us to be curious about the affairs of others if our motive is to be of more help to them.]
Liu: Observation of ourselves. No blame for the superior man.
Ritsema/Karcher: Viewing my birth. A chun tzu: without fault.
Shaughnessy: Looking up at my life; for the gentleman there is no trouble.
Cleary (1): Observing personal growth, a superior person is blameless.
Cleary (2): … Developed people are impeccable.
Wu: He examines his own life. The jun zi is without blame.
Confucius/Legge: He should for this purpose contemplate the condition of the people. Wilhelm/Baynes: "Contemplation of my life,” that is, contemplation of the people. Blofeld: In this passage, "our lives” means the lives of the people. Ritsema/Karcher: Viewing the commoners indeed. Cleary (2): What is appropriate for a great leader is balance in action. Wu: He actually looks after his people.
Legge: Line five is dynamic, and in the place of the ruler. He is a superior man, but this does not relieve him from the duty of self-contemplation or examination.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man in a position of power studies the impact of his life upon the welfare of others. If he so conducts himself that the condition of the people is always good, he will not fall into error.
Wing: You will gain an understanding of what the future holds for you by Contemplating the effect of your life upon others. If your influence and example are good, then you are without blame. This, you will find, is its own reward.
Editor: Notice that the Confucian commentary equates the contemplation of the life course of the ruler with the contemplation of the condition of the people. Psychologically, "the people” are the various components of the psyche, and the line is an injunction to compare our current situation with the ideal image of the Work alluded to in the Judgment. In other words, the oracle will not answer your question until you have first made a sincere effort to analyze your situation. Often this will result in a different perspective, and either cancel the original question or evoke an entirely new one.
The motions akin to the divine part in us are the thoughts and revolutions of the universe; these, therefore, every man should follow, and correcting those circuits in the head that were deranged at birth, by learning to know the harmonies and revolutions of the world, he should bring the intelligent part, according to its pristine nature, into the likeness of that which intelligence discerns, and thereby win the fulfillment of the best life set by the gods before mankind both for this present time and for the time to come.
Plato -- The Timaeus
A. Differentiate your thoughts and feelings and compare your situation with the ideal toward which you aspire.
Legge: The sixth line, dynamic, shows its subject contemplating his character to see if it be indeed that of a superior man. He will not fall into error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Contemplation of his life. The superior man is without blame.
Blofeld: Nor will it be an error for the Superior Man to contemplate his own life.
Liu: Observation of the lives of others. No blame for the superior man. [This is a time of discontent.]
Ritsema/Karcher: Viewing one's birth. A chun tzu: without fault.
Shaughnessy: Looking up at his life; for the gentleman there is no trouble.
Cleary (1): Observing the growth, the superior person is blameless.
Cleary (2): … Developed people are impeccable.
Wu: He looks pensively at the life of the people. The jun zi is without blame.
Confucius/Legge: He cannot even yet let his mind be at rest. Wilhelm/ Baynes: The will is not yet pacified. Blofeld: He contemplates his own life when troubled as to what course to take. Ritsema/Karcher: Purpose not-yet evened indeed. Cleary (2): The mind is not yet at peace. Wu: His aspirations have not been all fulfilled.
Legge: There is a slight difference in the sixth line from the fifth which can hardly be expressed in a translation. By making a change in the punctuation, however, the different significance may be brought out. Line six is dynamic, and should be considered out of the work of the hexagram, but he is still possessed by its spirit, and is led to self- examination.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The sage, who is living outside the routine of the world, contemplates his own character, not as an isolated ego manifestation, but in relation to the laws of life. He judges freedom from blame to be the highest good.
Wing: You are somewhat beyond the situation and able to contemplate your life without egotistical involvement. You will discover, here, that freedom from error and blame are the highest good. Egoless contemplation is the key.
Editor: Psychologically interpreted, the fifth line represents an ego contemplating his multi-faceted psyche; here, the sixth line has risen above that standpoint to contemplate the nature of the whole reality with which it wishes to unite. Line five asks us to look within to see if the motivations of the psyche are in accordance with the goals of the Work; line six asks us to examine our comprehension of the individuation process itself to see if it is correct.
Note that Liu translates this as contemplating “the lives of others” and Wu “the life of the people” – in these versions the object of contemplation is placed outside of the observer’s psyche. When differentiating line 5 from line 6, this interpretation of their slight divergence makes the most sense. Sometimes there is an implication that you may misunderstand something pertaining to the Work.
The Self, being individual and unique, is made manifest in the individuation process of the individual. But the Self is also universal and eternal, and under this aspect it is made manifest in a process we can only call the individuation of mankind. It is a collective process that takes the form of a gradual extension and differentiation of consciousness over the millennia. The drama began in the gray mists of antiquity and continues through the centuries into a remote future.

On a 93 Explorer, there are 2 options. Being a 93 Ford, it might be the same. There are no Guarantees.
If the truck has speed control, then there is a horn relay. It looks like it is under the dash near the steering column.
If it dosen't have speed control, it is only the switch in the steering column.
In my explorer book, it goes from fuse #8 to either the relay or switch, and then to the horns.
Try to run a jumper from the hot (+) terminal of the battery to the horn to make sure the horn actually works.
Just realized one more thing.
Check the fuse box under the hood. In my explorer, the power for the horn and several other devices routes first through the power distribution box under the hood.

- H-6.5 D-6
Gold and silver vessels were cherished commodities in Tang-period China, and Persian Sasanian and Sogdian metal techniques and shapes blended with those popular during the Roman-Byzantine Empire to provide inspiration for Chinese metalworkers.1
Although several metal Roman-Byzantine stem cups have been unearthed in China at sites dating from the Northern Wei period (A.D. 386-534) and Sui dynasty (A.D. 581-618), similar cup forms, often with accompanying trays, were made in pottery in China during this time.2 It was not until the Tang period, when artistic influences from the Near East and Central Asia increased, that metal models were created by Chinese artisans. By then precious-metal stem cups were desired by the elite throughout China, and examples were painted onto tomb walls even in the northwestern province of Xinjiang. In addition, representations of the metal models were carved into the stone wall of a Tang-dynasty emperor's tomb just outside of Chang'an.3
The egg-shaped Shumei cup with a flared lip, complemented by a stem featuring a ringed area and a broad foot, was initially cast in bronze. A chased cloud pattern decorates the upper frieze of the cup rim.4 Below the frieze, on the surface of the body, is a scene featuring mounted hunters and animals (which is chiseled). This Near Eastern design, dating in the West as early as the sixth-fifth century B.C., is known as the "flying gallop" and appears on Tang-period textiles and tomb wall paintings, as well as on metal vessels.5 The cup's remaining exterior surface features a series of ring-matted designs. This piece has been stripped by time of its initial high-gloss, golden luster, acquiring instead a gilt honey-toned surface.
A silver cup patterned with similar designs was excavated from Hejia village, and another silver stem cup was found at Sha'po village near Xi'an.6 In the United States, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco has a gilt bronze example that closely resembles the Shumei piece, as does the British Museum. The Carl Kempe collection has two silver stem cups similar in shape to the Shumei cup but patterned with floral scroll, grape, and leaf motifs.7
1. Kaogu 1994.2, pp. 174-83; Wenwu 1996.5, pp. 42-43.
2. Two stem cups were found at Datong: see Wenwu 1990.5, pp. 4-5. A Roman-Byzantine silver cup was also unearthed from a tomb dated 608 near Xi'an and belonging to Li Jingxun, whose ancestors held office in Hexi. Moreover, a tomb belonging to Li's great-grandfather, Li Xian of Northern Zhou (557-581), unearthed in Ningxia province contained a gilded silver ewer and a bowl thought to be Bactrian or Sasanian (Wenwu 1996.2, pp. 45-50). For examples of pottery stem cups with trays found at Jiangxi province and dating from the Six Dynasties period see Wenwu 1996.2, p. 43, fig. 14:1.

5. Concerning the "flying gallop" motif in Persian art see Rostovtzeff 1937, pp. 44-56; Jaffe and Colombardo 1983, p. 187. Although Chinese artisans began to paint hunting scenes onto tomb walls during the fourth century (see Tongguo wall painting, Zhu Dongshou, Zhongguo bihua shigong, 1995, fig. 10), it is not clear if this theme was inspired by the Near East or had developed independently. By the Tang period, though, there is a definite Near Eastern influence. For Tang-period hunting scenes painted onto walls see Fontein and Tung 1976, pp. 92-93, figs. 111, 112. For a textile with the flying gallop motif see Five Thousand Years of Chinese Art Committee 1992, p. 66.

The sides of this tall stem are decorated with a chased ground against which horseback pursue deer with half bows, and the attendants to the horseback hunters come towards them on horse back, driving the animals with catapult‐like weapons. The upper band of the torso is decorated with vining plant motifs and the area beneath the horsemen shows grass on land spits. The lower face of the torso is carved with a fretted pattern filled in with a chased design. The lower face of the cylindrical section shows a seven‐petal flower motif (though one of the petals has been beaten in twice, showing a graver's mistake). The upper section of the stem shows complex four‐petal flower motif with an inner layer of smaller petals. All of these patterns have been carved into the metal with a engraving tool.
The images here have been largely engraved into a linked set of somewhat elongated triangular panels, and there are some places where the graver tilted the engraving tool to create linear pattems.
The style of the images and the engraving techniques are gentle and have lost a bit of their sense of detail, which would seem to indicate that this cup is from the Late Tang, close in date and style to the Gold ewer with mandarin ducks and foliage scrolls (Xianyang Museum) excavated from the storing site at Xianyang, Shaanxi.

The Project 22800 (NATO reporting name: Karakurt-class) Corvette Burya (257) carrying Kalibr (SS-N-27 Sizzler) cruise missiles and built by the Pella Shipyard for the Russian Baltic Fleet is undergoing shipbuilders sea trials at Baltic Fleet sea ranges. The shipbuilders sea trials are an obligatory stage to complete the construction of any ship and are designed to check the performance of its systems and mechanisms at sea and their compliance to the approved specifications, schemes, technical descriptions and operational instructions. The Burya is the second Project 22800 ship being built by the Pella Shipyard that will carry the new Pantsyr-M antiaircraft missile/gun system developed by the Instrument-Making Design Bureau as its organic weapon.
The Karakurt class, Russian designation Project 22800 Karakurt (European Black Widow), is a new class of Russian corvettes (small missile ships in Russian classification) which have been entering service with the Russian Navy since 2018. The class is intended as a more seaworthy, blue-water complement to the Buyan-M class corvettes, designed for the littoral zone and which as of 2015 serve in Russia’s Caspian Flotilla, Baltic Fleet and Black Sea Fleet. The ships are designed to be armed with Kalibr or Oniks anti-ship cruise missiles and have an endurance of 15 days. They are also to be a cheap alternative for larger Admiral Grigorovich class frigates, for which construction was delayed due to the suspended military cooperation with Ukraine.
Project 22800 derives from Project 12300 Skorpion, a proposed 1990s Almaz design for a 500-ton displacement missile boat, and was also heavily influenced by Project 21631, the Buyan-M corvettes. Ships of the class have a stealth shaped superstructure with an integrated mast carrying four phased array radar panels. The primary armament consists of Kalibr cruise missiles or P-800 Oniks supersonic anti-ship missiles carried in eight UKSK VLS cells in the rear part of the superstructure, behind the bridge. The corvettes built for the Russian Navy will be equipped with a 76.2 mm AK-176MA automatic dual-purpose gun, a modernized version of the AK-176. However, at least on the first ship, the 100 mm A-190 was installed.
The 3M-54 Kalibr, (??????, caliber), also referred to it as 3M54-1 Kalibr, 3M14 Biryuza (??????, turquoise), (NATO reporting name SS-N-27 Sizzler and SS-N-30A) is a family of Russian cruise missiles developed by the Novator Design Bureau (OKB-8). There are ship-launched, submarine-launched and air-launched versions of the missile, and variants for anti-ship, anti-submarine and land attack use. Some versions have a second propulsion stage that initiates a supersonic sprint in the terminal approach to the target, reducing the time that target’s defense systems have to react, while subsonic versions have greater range than the supersonic variants. The missile can carry a warhead weighing up to 500 kilograms (1,100 lb) of explosive or a thermonuclear warhead.

The scenes of violence from Jerusalem are shocking: because they wanted to confiscate banned Palestinian flags, Israeli police officers attacked the group of mourners who were carrying the coffin of Al Jazeera employee Shireen Abu Akleh out of the hospital.
Again and again the officials even beat the coffin bearers with their batons – in front of the TV cameras of the world, without respect for the peace of the dead, without respect for the mourning.
Shireen Abu Akleh was fatally injured by a projectile while filming in the West Bank on Wednesday.
The TV journalist, a Palestinian Christian, was held in high esteem by the population. Her funeral in her native city of Jerusalem drew thousands of people.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell expressed shock. “The EU condemns the disproportionate use of force and the disrespectful behavior of the Israeli police towards the participants in the funeral procession.”
Jen Psaki, the US President’s spokeswoman, criticized the incident and commented on the “deeply disturbing” images: The United States had “respected the funeral procession, the mourners and the family at this sensitive time.”

Paige Migneault Door Knob May 20th, 2018 - 10:41:29
Also a good resistive structure is needed. Deadbolts are used along with exterior door levers. We have to pull out these deadbolts latches if we want to replace the knob. Interior knobs have a basic structure somewhat simpler than an exterior knobs properties so they are simpler to replace. The main screws need to be removed first using a screwdriver. Then the two knobs on each direction will automatically come out. After that faceplate screws on the edges need to be taken out to remove the latching parts. Then the main plate needs to be taken out removing the anchor screws. These are the basic tasks to remove a door knob. Then the question of installing the new door knob arrives.
If you want to find a suitable door handle that would be best for you you can find it through a complete analysis of available handles on the market. This is very easy to do online. Companies provide product descriptions online for the convenience of customers. So you can be free of stress in finding suitable door handles. Be cautious about your choice because you need to decide on all the necessary things that a door handle needs. Think about the options on the handle formats like deadbolts etc. After doing this you can use a door handle to help make a beautiful home.
This is why we are looking for a quality door knob that can fulfill our needs properly. And when it comes to inside door knobs the concerns certainly increase in number as we have to make a proper match with all the other interior parts of our house. Interior rooms are different from exterior ones in both purpose and facility. For example exterior doors are exposed to the outside which makes it essential for them to be an attractive bright color to magnetize others focus. Again they are more often reached for by people from the outside.
If the door opens outwards the flat side should look outwards too if it opens to the inside the flat side should look inwards. Now slip in the cylinder through the door knob hole while holding the opening and closing mechanism pushed in so that it fits into the space provided for it in the door knob cylinder. Find the two large screws and the metal cover that go on the inside and screw it in place. Make sure it is tight but not overly tight. Test this by tuning the outside knob the opening and closing mechanism should retract without resistance.


A day after a patient’s relatives allegedly beat up Dr Tushar Thakate, resident doctor at KEM Hospital, members of the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) met Manisha Mhaiskar, additional municipal commissioner (health) to discuss security demands at civic hospitals.
“We have been assured that our demands will be met, so we have called off the strike for now. The security situation inside KEM is inadequate. Crowded areas like the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) should have at least five security guards round the clock,” said a KEM Hospital doctor and MARD member, who wished to remain anonymous.
“Every general ward, too, should be assigned two guards,” the doctor said.
The demands of the resident doctors were very well put forward, Mhaiskar said. "Our immediate concern now will be to train existing security staff at civic hospitals,” Mhaiskar said.
“We are also looking at posting more ex-servicemen as security staff at major hospitals. The dean is also working out internal re-organisation of security personnel at KEM Hospital.”
The police have yet to make any arrests in the case.

On the front of the photograph are Japanese characters, believed to be Judy’s name. Judy was dating or seeing U.S. Army soldier Charles G. Blevins of Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, while he was on furlough in Japan from service in Korea with an artillery unit. The name “Johnnie” is written in English on the back of this photograph [circa 1952].

The Mysterious Play: Another Act
Written By Natsuyumeno Makoto
* * * * * * * * Disclaimer: Fushigi Yuugi and all of it's characters belong to Watase Yuu, Flower Comics, and many other important peoples that I know I have forgotten. Basically, all I'm trying to say is that this was made for entertainment purposes only and I am not claiming these characters in any way whatsoever. Any other characters I add are all made up by me so please, don't steal them. * * * * * * * *
It was a cold day in early December when the story began anew. The story was The Universe of the Four Gods. In it, it would have the same characters as before, but also, some new ones. Seven young men and women, each one unique in their powers and personality, will meet as one in Konan, the country of the South.
Together, they will become known as the Suzaku Guardians. Together, with the Suzaku Seishi and the Suzaku no Miko, they will fight the Seiryuu Seishi in a war that will surpass both this world and theirs. For these seven warriors, this will be the adventure of a lifetime...
"Yui-chan, where did you say we're supposed to meet everyone?" Yuuki Miaka, now a young woman with long brown hair asked.
"At the National Library silly. Now c'mon, we're late," her companion, and best friend, Hongo Yui replied.
"Oh yeah, sorry. It's just that, well..." Miaka broke off her sentence before she could bring herself to say what she had wanted to say.
"You still bummed about your breakup?" Yui asked gently.
Miaka nodded. Yui glanced at her friend, wishing their was some way she could help. But she couldn't mend a broken heart. Yui gaze rested comfortably on the road ahead of her, as she concentrated on driving on the icy roads. It was early December, and Yui didn't want to take any chances.
"I just wish there was something I could do, something I could say. Maybe, that would bring him back..." Miaka said hopefully.
"Gomenasai, but you can't make someone fall in love with you, no matter how much you want them to," Yui said.
"I know." Miaka replied.
For the rest of the car ride, both girls were silent, with their own thoughts. Meanwhile, in the National Library, five young women were waiting for Yui and Miaka to show up. Well, actually, four of them were sitting while one was pacing up and down the aisles, trying to find an interesting book to page through.
Ariana Parker sighed and rested her chin in her hands. "They're late, aren't they?"
Aoisieno Minamida nodded, "Yes, they're late."
"Wonder what's keepin' them." Fate Melody commented.
"Probably ice and the likes of that." Willow MacCloud replied.
Natsuyumeno Makoto walked up to her friends and sat down. Minamida turned to her and asked, "No luck huh?"
Makoto shook her head, "Nope. Good God, how hard can it be to find a book on ancient China?"
Her friends just shrugged helplessly. Suddenly, the door opened, sending a gust of wind in along with a blonde and a brunette. All five girls got up to greet the newest snow bounders.
"Yui, Miaka! How are you?"
"Long time no see guys. Where ya been?"
"Cold out ne?"
Yui grinned and answered each question in order, "Fine, we've been busy, y'know, with school and stuff. And yes, it's very cold out."
As soon as everyone was settled around the table, and they all had their book bags sitting on it, ready to pull out whatever was necessary, the girls began to discuss their projecct.
"...So, we need to find a book on ancient China right?"Miaka asked.
"Yes," Fate replied.
"And we have had no luck whatsoever trying to find a book to research." Ariana added.
"Well damn, what do we do now?" Yui asked.
All the girls sat pondering, for only a moment. Then, with out warning, as if in unison, all seven of the girls stood up. They all grabbed their assorted book bags, purses, and jackets and left the table. None of them realized they were headed toward the Important Documents Reference Room. As they all piled into the dark room, they all seemed to know exactly where to go. Yui picked out the familiar red book, and set it down.
Once everyone was in a circle around her, Yui began to read the text. As she read, a red light enveloped the young women, engulfing it in it's warmth. Before any of them could cry out, everything went black.

Yield is the amount of cannabis flower that a grower harvests from a crop, and it’s the foundation of any cannabis cultivation business.
The greater the harvest, the more profitable the business, and the aspiration to increase yield permeates every part of the cannabis grow industry. New technologies promise to improve yield, growers boast about the size of their yield, and business plans forecast a rapid start-up with subsequent huge yields.
But it’s the last point that warrants the most caution. Unrealistic forecasts can leave investors angry, growers under pressure, and licensing entities wondering what happened.
The most common question from start-ups planning their cultivation business is, “How much cannabis will one plant yield?” They’re asking the wrong question. What they should be asking is, “How much flower can I expect from a given amount of true flowering space?”
True flowering space is that area of a farm, greenhouse, or indoor grow facility that is solely dedicated to flowering plant production. After all, flowers are where the money’s at. But not all available space in a cultivation facility is dedicated to flowering plant production. A lot of space is taken up by administrative offices, locker rooms, shipping and receiving areas, electrical rooms, supply closets, and storage areas. Even the cultivation footprint of a facility is not 100% dedicated to flowering plants.
About 25% of any cultivation footprint is required for stock plant production, asexual propagation, and vegetative plant growth. Stock plants or “mother plants” are stout, bushy plants that are constantly pruned to force the production of fresh shoots, also called vegetative cuttings or clones. These clones are cut from the mother plant and rooted to form new plants, which must undergo a period of vegetative growth to produce healthy roots and a robust branching system that will support the weight of the flowers later in production.
The remaining 75% of the cultivation footprint is still not wholly dedicated to flowering plants since some space is required for walkways and working areas at the entrance, rear of a grow room, and along the walls. What remains after subtracting all of these necessary evils is the true flowering space, which we can now use to conservatively forecast plant yield.
Many variables can affect the yield of an individual plant. Genetics play an influential role since some varieties are heavy yielders and others are notoriously light. The amount of time spent in the vegetative growth phase also affects the weight of a plant’s harvest. A plant that begins flowering after just two weeks of vegetative growth will be much smaller and yield less than a plant that begins flowering after ten weeks of vegetative growth.
To account for these variables, it’s best to calculate yield per square meter/square foot of true flowering space—regardless of whether that space is occupied by one large plant or several small ones. Growers should expect about 350 grams of dry flower per square meter of true flowering space, or about 35 grams per square foot, per harvest.
Construction of a greenhouse or indoor grow facility should not take longer than six months to complete. This assumes that the company had identified vendors, received quotes, and completed all architectural designs before receiving a license. Be aware that drilling wells or bringing electrical service to the grow site can drag out construction much longer. Lead time for most grow equipment is generally eight weeks in places like the US and Canada. If the equipment can’t be sourced domestically, anticipate a slightly longer lead time for ocean freight shipping.
Once the facility is complete, cultivation begins. Some newly regulated cannabis markets prohibit starting production by acquiring live plants. Buying plants or seedlings from the illicit market can help jump-start production, but few regulatory programs will allow that. When Canada first began licensing commercial cannabis companies, licensees could acquire live plants or choose to start production from seed. Launching a cultivation business with live plants in Colombia is prohibited, so all new license recipients must begin production from seed.
Regardless of how new cultivators source their genetics, they’ll want to refine their selections and build up a stock plant reserve to ensure that they can offer a consistent product. Genetics are refined by flowering a crop, selecting the best performing plants, and culling the rest. Refining will take about four months, and building up stock plants from the “cream of the crop” will take another two months. The first commercial-scale run will take about four months to complete.
So, between construction (six months), refining of genetics and building stock plants (six months), and completing the first real production run (four months), a new cultivation business should anticipate having product for sale approximately 16 months after receiving their license. Give yourself a buffer by promising regulators and investors an 18-month timeline, and your business should be in excellent shape.

On Wednesday, Phyllis was admitted to Maple Grove hospital with Atrial fibrillation (congestive heart failure). Upon further examination, it was determined that that the mitral valve in her heart was not functioning and would need to be replaced.
Thursday afternoon, Phyllis was transferred to North Memorial Hospital. An echo was scheduled to determine if there were any further vascular concerns that could be addressed during surgery to ensure the best possible outcome.
In the middle of the night, Phyllis experienced further complications (pulmonary edema and mitral regurgitation) which resulted in transfer to ICU and moved to critical condition.
It is now Friday morning, she is hooked up to a respiratory machine which is giving her some relief from the discomfort as well as providing her kidney's much needed supplemental support. As a result of the congestive heart failure, secondary concerns continue to crop up as her other organs are strained.
At present, she is stable and resting. The Echo has been put on hold until her kidney function can be stabilized. The dye associated with this procedure can cause further strain. The interaction between cardiac and renal dysfunction may be critical for disease progression.
Because she is in ICU, she is unable to have visitors or accept phone calls. Please check back to this site for updates.
Please pray for healing, peace and pain relief.
PULMONARY EDEMA: Pulmonary edema is a condition caused by excess fluid in the lungs. This fluid collects in the numerous air sacs in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe.In most cases, heart problems cause pulmonary edema. But fluid can accumulate for other reasons, including pneumonia, exposure to certain toxins and medications, trauma to the chest wall, and exercising or living at high elevations.
Pulmonary edema that develops suddenly (acute pulmonary edema) is a medical emergency requiring immediate care. Although pulmonary edema can sometimes prove fatal, the outlook improves when you receive prompt treatment for pulmonary edema along with treatment for the underlying problem. Treatment for pulmonary edema varies depending on the cause but generally includes supplemental oxygen and medications.
MITRAL REGURGITATION: Mitral regurgitation is leakage of blood backward through the mitral valve each time the left ventricle contracts. A leaking mitral valve allows blood to flow in two directions during the contraction. Some blood flows from the ventricle through the aortic valve — as it should — and some blood flows back into the atrium. What is the problem that results from mitral regurgitation? Leakage can increase blood volume and pressure in the area. The increased blood pressure in the left atrium can increase pressure in the veins leading from the lungs to the heart (pulmonary veins). If regurgitation is severe, increased pressure may result in congestion (or fluid build-up) in the lungs.

The Giants are adding some depth to their secondary and special teams.
Michael Thomas, a safety who has played five years with the Dolphins, has agreed to a two-year deal with the Giants, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Thomas played just 14 percent of the Dolphins’ defensive snaps last season, but he played 64 percent of Miami’s special teams plays.
Thomas originally entered the NFL with the 49ers in 2012 as an undrafted free agent and spent his rookie year on the practice squad. He signed with the Dolphins in 2013 and has played in Miami since.

A group of highly-intelligent girls from Afghanistan who were denied entry to the US have won a top prize at a European robotics festival.
The all-girls team hit the headlines when they were briefly denied entry to the US over the summer, writes the Independent.
They won the Entrepreneurial Challenge at the Robotex festival, often referred to as ‘Europe’s biggest robotics festival’, in the Estonian capital of Tallinn.
This all-girls robotics team from Afghanistan was once denied entry into the U.S. — now they're champions pic.twitter.com/IMP92U6zqA

The festival, which ran from November 24th to 26th, challenged entrants to solve a real-world problem that would also appeal to potential customers.
Three of the 12 members of the team from Herat, the third-largest city in Afghanistan, won the competition with a robot prototype that ‘used solar energy to support small-scale farmers manage their land’.
Said T Jawad, Afghanistan’s ambassador to the UK, said in a statement:
We are extremely proud of the wonderful accomplishments of the Afghan All-Girl Robotics Team.
They are an excellent example for people around the world of what can be accomplished by young Afghans if given the right support and the opportunity to excel in their education.
They are undeniably the future of Afghanistan.
Excellent!! Congratulations ladies!!

The team’s win consists of a ‘small cash prize and an invitation to take part in a larger event in the US in May where they will compete for investment money which they can use to start their own company, the embassy in London said.
Speaking this summer, after being denied US entry, 14-year-old Fatemah Qaderyan, who was part of the team who made two journeys to the US Embassy in Kabul, said:
We still don’t know the reason why we were not granted visas, because other countries participating in the competition have been given visas.
No one knows about the future but… we did our best and we hope that our robot could get a position along other robots from other countries.
Inspiring to meet w/ the Afghan girls robotics team & delighted they won silver medal for courageous achievement. Congratulations! pic.twitter.com/g9gnBB8aW7
— Sen. Susan Collins (@SenatorCollins) July 19, 2017
Her teammate, 17-year-old Lida Azizi, was understandably less forgiving of the situation and said:
All of the countries can participate in the competitions, but we can’t. So it’s a clear insult for the people of Afghanistan.
After a public outcry, US officials reversed their decision and granted the girls an exemption, called a parole, that allowed them to travel.
Amazing work ladies!

Excitingly, reviews of Dark Farm are coming in, leading up to my launch date of 5 May 2021
Now my writing, editing, formatting and cover design have been finalised, I’ve posted Dark Farm on book review sites BookSirens and NetGalley. If you would like your own free advance review copy, you can register with these groups, or else access a PDF, EPUB or MOBI version of Dark Farm for free on my site.
Here are the first two reviews, along with links to the posts:
Rubie C, Reviewer, NetGalley
What a book! This I would put under dark magic. Its crazy. Dark, beautifully written. Really enjoyed this fun read! See post.
Catherine, Reviewer, BookSirens and GoodReads
I clicked on Dark Farm because the cover intrigued me, reminding me of a Lovecraftian monster, which made sense once I read the synopsis. Dark Farm is heavily inspired by the universe of Lovecraft, a treat for me who’s a huge fan of this author’s work, but I admit I had doubts about how this book would manage to pull it off and keep its promises. It seemed really ambitious – and it is. It’s the first time I’ve read anything by this author, so I didn’t know what to expect at all when it came to his writing and imagination. There’s a lot in this first book of a new fantasy series, which can lead to disaster in some of my previous reading experiences where the author doesn’t really seem to know where they’re going and what to do with all of this.
I’m glad (and kinda impressed, to be honest) that it’s not the case here. Dean Alan Raven seemed to have done a lot of thinking, maybe many early drafts to see how he could put things together in a way that makes sense instead of being a mess by trying to include as many things as possible. His writing style makes clear that he knows fantasy and horror and the story is compelling from the first chapter to the last one (by the way, Mr Raven, I do hope you won’t make us wait too long after that ending because I need the second book!) The world-building and the magic system are strong enough and exactly what I was in the mood for.
Another thing that made me want to read this book is the story between two brothers. I love stories with siblings, that’s no secret. Kane is a great character, and I loved his motivation and will to protect his brother. It’s not just a story about monsters, gods and the threat of apocalypse, it’s also a story about family. The other characters are all compelling in their own way, and they’re different from each other. It’s annoying when you have a cast of characters where you struggle to differentiate them from each other, but it’s definitely not the case here. Arika is one of the most interesting characters in my opinion, and Wilfred one hell of a sorcerer. I loved that the Necromonicon was included, we’re definitely in a Lovecraftian universe but without reading a fanfiction by a fan of the author – Dark Farm is also its own story. I also got old horror/fantasy movies vibes, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the author was a fan of the genre both in literature and cinema.
I won’t say much more, because it would spoil the story. If you’re interested in an original dark fantasy/horror and if you’re a fan of Lovecraft, I definitely recommend to read this book. See post.

FROM Anna Palmer
Is Government the Problem or the Solution? Politics has always been about who controls government. Now it's about the value of government. Since the days of Ronald Reagan, Republicans have been promising tax cuts and "smaller" government. But "progressive" Democrats say don't forget -- strong government led America out of the Great Depression, creating history's most prosperous nation. We hear how the battle is playing out today, on the road to the White House -- and in Topeka, Kansas.
Is Venezuela becoming a dictatorship? Venezuela may have the world's largest oil reserves, but it's a nation in trouble… economically and politically. Is a populist promise to rescue democracy turning out to be a prelude to dictatorship?
