text: Deluxe CD/DVD edition.The DVD features six iconic Henley music videos and four bonus audio tracks, all soundtrack favorites. The Very Best Of Don Henley is the first career-spanning collection of all his classic solo hits, covering his tenures at Elektra, Geffen and Warner Bros Records. The collection features some of the most enduring songs in recent pop/rock history, such as 'Dirty Laundry,' 'The Boys Of Summer,' 'The End Of The Innocence' and 'The Heart Of The Matter.' These classic songs feature the talents of a veritable `who's who' of writers and musicians including most members of Eagles, Tom Petty's Heartbreakers and Toto, as well as Danny Kortchmar, Martha Davis, Patty Smyth, Axl Rose, Bruce Hornsby, Wayne Shorter, Take 6, Larry Klein, J.D. Souther and Sheryl Crow. Unlike all but a handful of artists in contemporary music, the Grammy-Award winning Henley has had chart hits across numerous radio formats, including Adult Contemporary, Top 40, Classic Rock, Rock, Triple A and even Country radio. It's time to re-discover the thought-provoking music of Don Henley.


Rep. Raúl Grijalva of Arizona, the top Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee, wants to make public the details of a settlement agreement with a former female employee who alleged a hostile work environment and received $48,000 in severance pay in 2015.
Grijalva told E&E News he asked the Office of House Employment Counsel on Tuesday to talk to the former staffer’s legal counsel about waiving the nondisclosure agreement the two parties signed "so that everybody can see" the terms of the case and settlement.
The former aide claimed Grijalva was frequently drunk at work and created a hostile environment in the office — allegations that have "no merit," the Democrat said Tuesday.
"It’s frustrating for me because I feel handcuffed that I can’t respond like I want to," Grijalva said, referring to the confidentiality clause he and the employee signed restricting them from discussing the details of the complaint and settlement.
The aide received the $48,395 settlement after filing a complaint with the congressional Office of Compliance in 2015. In exchange for the payment, the staffer agreed not to sue Grijalva. The money came out of the Natural Resources Committee’s operating funds.
"Every step of the process was handled ethically and appropriately," Grijalva has said.
The woman, who worked for Grijalva for three months, had her pay frozen during settlement talks. The payment amounted to five additional months of salary.
She did not respond yesterday to a request for comment.
The settlement was first reported Monday by The Washington Times. E&E News has since independently confirmed the details of the agreement.
Grijalva agreed to talk in broad terms about the matter Tuesday evening.
Since he is constrained by the NDA, however, "a presumption of guilt" fills the void of an actual narrative, Grijalva said. "And that presumption of guilt gets validated if I don’t have a chance to fight back."
Grijalva said he and the former aide mutually reached the settlement working with the Office of House Employment Counsel and following guidance issued by the House Ethics Committee. The other option would have been to go to federal court to resolve the matter.
The Office of House Employment Counsel yesterday did not respond to questions for comment about the case, or about its general process for handling complaints.
"I have a clean conscience," Grijalva said. "I have no guilt associated with this, but it’s embarrassing to me and the people who work for and with me," said the Democrat. "The sooner this is out in the air, people can draw conclusions if they want to, but at least everyone will be dealing with the same set of facts, and we won’t be going on innuendo, supposition and rumor."
The Arizonan, who was first elected to Congress in 2003, said there haven’t been any other committee settlement agreements with former employees other than the one in question. Adam Sarvana, the panel’s minority communications director, confirmed that yesterday.
Grijalva also said no other complaints have been made to him, formally or informally, about his behavior.
The lawmaker said the 2015 complaint did not involve allegations of sexual harassment. "No, not at all," he said.
The ranking member attributed the dispute with the former aide to "philosophical differences" in their approach to the committee’s work.
"I wanted her to be more assertive and aggressive about the issues we were going to confront [as the minority party]," he said. "I was more of a zealot about these issues, and she was more of a bureaucrat."
"I’m not questioning her capacity to do her work. I never did; it just wasn’t a fit," Grijalva added.
The ranking member is a staunch defender of bedrock environmental laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act. He’s often at odds with the panel’s chairman, Rob Bishop (R-Utah), who takes a much-less-is-more approach to the federal government’s role in overseeing public lands and natural resources.
Bishop on Tuesday would not comment specifically on the matter involving Grijalva, the former aide or the payout of committee money as part of a severance package.
When pressed, however, on whether Grijalva should resign, the chairman offered this: "I don’t want him to resign, I want him to start voting correctly."
Multiple allegations, due process
The brouhaha over Grijalva’s 2015 settlement agreement comes amid a swirl of other, separate allegations against members of Congress in both chambers. Those allegations range from inappropriate touching to sexual harassment and misconduct.
Multiple women have accused Minnesota Sen. Al Franken (D) of groping them; meanwhile Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) is fighting to keep his seat after several allegations of sexual misconduct and harassment, as well as a settlement with a former employee for $27,000 who claimed she was fired after refusing his advances.
Conyers, the longest-serving member in Congress, so far has denied the allegations and does not plan to resign. Franken has apologized.
While some individual House members, including Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) have called for Conyers to resign, Democratic leaders have stopped short so far of publicly advocating for his departure.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joseph Crowley said the "process needs to be fair for all parties involved: It needs to be fair for the complainant, and it needs to be fair for the person that’s being accused."
The New York Democrat called the allegations against Conyers "very, very serious" but added "you don’t want character assassinations, nor do you want victims that don’t get their day in court."
The House Ethics Committee is reviewing the allegations against Conyers in what is a separate process and investigation than what came out of the Office of Compliance.
Crowley said the Office of Compliance has "some very outdated, onerous hurdles for complainants to try to overcome before they can ever have their day in court. We are having very serious ongoing discussions about how we can reform that process."
Democratic Caucus Vice Chairwoman Linda Sanchez also chose her words carefully yesterday.
"Again, I can’t sit and judge a member and call for the resignation unless I’ve been party to hearing all the evidence, and hearing the defense of the evidence," said the California Democrat, also a lawyer. "Trust me, I’ve prosecuted sexual harassment and employment discrimination cases, but, you know I have seen cases where there were cases without merit."
Reforms in the works, comprehensive review
The topic of sexual harassment — and how to upend a Capitol Hill culture that has allowed it to persist for so long — also cropped up during the weekly GOP caucus meeting yesterday, said Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.).
During what Cole called "a lively discussion," lawmakers talked about the bipartisan legislation sponsored by Reps. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) and Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) that seeks to overhaul the sexual harassment reporting process on the Hill to strengthen protections for those who file complaints.
Cole said there was "a sense that the institution deserves better than this, and we’ve got an obligation to act and do something."
In that spirit, the House yesterday unanimously passed a resolution by voice vote that would require the chamber’s members, officers and employees to complete a training program during each legislative session in workplace rights and responsibilities.
"Today’s unanimous vote to mandate yearly sexual harassment training for members and staff is an important step to ensure Congress is a safe and respectful work environment for everyone," said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in a statement.
"The House Administration Committee will continue its work to review and recommend updates to employment rules that govern the House of Representatives so that everyone who has the honor of working in Congress is free from harassment," he said.
Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.), chairman of the House Administration Committee, said yesterday his panel planned a Dec. 7 hearing on the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995.
The law, signed during the Clinton administration, applied several civil rights, workplace and safety laws to Congress and is enforced by the institution’s Office of Compliance. The leadership of the Administration Committee has to approve settlements that come through the OOC.
Harper said during the weekly GOP leadership press conference that since he became chairman at the start of this Congress he has "yet to have a single settlement come to my desk." Since 1997, nearly $17 million has been paid out on approximately 260 claims, Harper said.
The Mississippi Republican said his panel is trying to get a breakdown of how many of those claims involve sexual harassment by members. "I think that’s a fair question [and] something that we should be able to come up with," he said.
During the same briefing, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said the leadership is taking "very seriously" the issue of sexual harassment. "We’re going to continue to do that," he said, "but we need to have a comprehensive review of all these things, so that we can have a comprehensive response."
Leveling the playing field, more accountability for lawmakers
In addition to the Speier-Comstock bill, several House lawmakers introduced bipartisan legislation yesterday that would prohibit the use of federal funds to pay for any future sexual assault or sexual harassment cases involving members of Congress and their staff.
Additionally, the Office of Compliance would be required to make public within 30 days the details of any settlements made under the Congressional Accountability Act, which would include the one reached by Grijalva.
"Think about the incentive system under this regime now, if you are somebody who is in power you can misbehave, the taxpayer will bail you out and then keep it secret from everyone so your taxpayers and constituents will never know about it. That is wrong," said Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), the bill’s co-sponsor.
Lawmakers said they had heard from constituents in recent days who were angry that Congress could keep workplace settlements private and pay them with federal funds without any public record.
"Congress has a 6 percent [approval] rating as a body, and I have one question to ask: Is it any wonder?" said Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.), one of the co-sponsors of the DeSantis bill, who said public perception will not improve until lawmakers are willing to end special legal protections for themselves.

Google has started rolling out the December security patch for its Pixel smartphones. This will be the last security patch for original Google Pixel and Pixel XL before they reach their end of life in terms of security patch support.
Going by the Android security bulletin, the December security patch fixes over 35+ vulnerabilities including severe ones like a remote attacker using a specially crafted message to cause a denial of service attack and more.
This time around there are two security patch levels for December 2019, one dated 2019-12-01 and another one dated 2019-12-05. Devices that rollout security patch level 2019-12-05 must also incorporate the 2019-12-01 patches in addition to all other fixes addressed by previous security bulletins. You can find details about all the exploits patched with the December security update in the Android security bulletin.
Apart from security patches, the update also brings a number of Pixel 4 features to older Pixels according to a Reddit post. This includes the ability to swipe down anywhere on the home screen to expand the notification shade and change the color of system accents, fonts, and icon shapes using Pixel Themes. The Live Caption feature of the Pixel 4 is now also available on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a.
Lastly, the December security patch will allow one to use third-party launchers with the new Android 10 gestures. When Google was beta testing Android 10, its new navigation gestures did not mix well with third-party launchers. While Google got around to fixing this incompatibility when it released the Pixel 4, it kept the changes limited to its newest Pixel. It is only now that the company is rolling out the fix for older Pixel smartphones as well.
For the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, the December security update will start rolling out from next week. It will also include fixes for Bluetooth issues, display flicker issues, static noise in Spotify, improve the haptic vibration intensity, and more which are covered in this Pixel Phone community article.

Weiss Schwarz – A simple outlook on the game
It is technically downtime for L5R. I’m too lazy to build new decks, because the expansion is just over the horizon, and I can’t really test the new set since 33 cards from that set has yet to be previewed. People have told me I should build anyway, based on incomplete preview, but I noted to them, recall that Empire at war previews, “Superior Mobility” was not previewed, and that card proved to be staple in almost all decks for the capability of movement or destruction in one action.
In the meantime, I spend my time playing Weiss Schwarz. As noted in the previous blog, the game is simple. The objective, in a nutshell is to damage opponent’s 28 life.
Basically the game starts with areas in the game, deck area, discard pile (waiting room), stock pile, life pile (called ‘clock’), stage for you to have characters in play, with 3 in the front row (center stage) and 2 behind (back stage), forming a inverted triangle with two of the front character.
You can check the playmat area here. Source = http://weissschwarz.wikia.com/wiki/Play_Area
The basic is to play a character, then you attack. You attack the character in front of you and when the battle begins, the two characters compares the battle points, usually incremental in 500 from lowest printed stat of 500 up to 10,000. The higher stat character ‘wins’ and the one with the lower power stats ‘loses’ and is knocked-out and discarded into waiting room (discard pile). But that’s just a battle between two characters and does not deal any damage to the player.
So how do you deal damage to the player to win?
The real damage dealt is with the soul marker at the lower left bottom of the character card, near the name. So when you attack, you deal damage equal to the character soul power. Denoted by the small symbol similar to “Scouts” logo.
To add some variety and speed up the game, when you attack, you count the soul point of the character and you flip the top card of your deck and see if there’s any soul symbol on that card, if there is, you add the number to the soul damage. Your flipped card will be kept in stock pile, which can be used to pay for abilities and cost of bringing characters into play.
How does soul damage count? Soul damage is taken from the top card of your deck and placed in the ‘clock’ area. Then opponent will flip open any number of cards equal to the soul damage and add it to their ‘life damage’ “clock” area. Once you have taken 7 damage, you can choose one card to be permanent level marker and discard the rest into the waiting room. Levels determined how some cards can be played as they have the Level restriction on their card. Each level gives more and more powerful characters. Most of the level 3 characters are around 10000 power. Powerful, yes. But remember that at level 3, you’re only at most 7 life away from being knocked out. Basically, once you level up to level 4, you’re gone. Game end.
So, it may seem that you can easily take damage in the game and lose quickly to a deck that stacks heavy on soul damage… However, there is a chance that a type of card, climax card will appear during the deck. If it does, the damage is cancelled immediately. And climax cards are usual one turn effect cards, giving powerful abilities for the players. Such as all your characters get +1 Soul points, or +1000 power that sort of thing.
With such a powerful card, how do they balance it? Easy. By making it maximum of 8 copies for any deck. With a max limit of 8, you have 12.5% change of seeing it appear. Making the game somewhat heavy on luck base, but quick game and can be fun.
So the game is balanced by that fact. Soul damage is more important and the game can be wicked fast which makes the game not dominated by having a bunch of high stat number characters. I’ve had games where my opponent have 3 level 3 characters with stats reaching 11k. I just dropped 3 level 0 character, stats no more 3k. But I still kill off the opponent since I deal enough soul damage to him, even when my character all die off since they fought higher stats opponents.
So in a nutshell, I’m liking the game so far, and although it seems simple, there are intricacies involved as some cards have their built-in ability to increase stats, removal, return back to play from being knocked out and all sorts of various stuff.
On the other hand, this is just distraction. I’m just waiting for the release of L5R The Dead of Winter expansion…. I’m very itchy to build a few deck archetypes I’ve been eyeing.

5 Amazing Facts You Would Never Guess About 3D Printing
The first thing that many people are shocked to discover about 3D printing is that the technology is already over 30 years old! For much of that time, it has been mostly a novelty concept. Not many people have had access to the technology until recent years.
But all of that is changing, and it’s changing fast. As the decades have rolled on, this growing niche of manufacturing has begun to establish itself as a safe, fun, and increasingly affordable option even for beginner hobbyists.
Many artists, creative types, inventors, and builders have embraced the opportunity to design, develop, and construct their own personal masterpieces right in their living rooms.
This growing new fan base has laid the groundwork for the niche to rapidly become more accessible to the buying public. Both the cost and the experience required to operate the machinery has plummeted.
Not only are there a variety of affordable 3D printers, but the number of software programs available to help consumers bring their visions to life is becoming amazingly simple!
If you are relatively new to the topic of 3D printer technology, these five fun facts will get you started on your path to better understanding what the buzz is all about…
New Materials Are Being Introduced All the Time
About three years ago, a company named MakerBot released an entirely new set of materials that they figured out how to use as the PLA filament to create new 3D printed products.
The new materials included bronze, limestone, and a variety of woods. The products that can now be developed out of these materials has expanded the creativity and the functionality of the printed object.
For example, the wood can be cut and stained to create stunning pieces of art from a digital file. Metals, like iron, can be magnetized opening up endless possibilities.
“Honey! What Did You Print for Dinner?”
That’s right! It is now even possible to print out some of your favorite foods. Although it still needs some time to mature, this new twist on culinary creativity is already taking hold across the planet.
Pasta, chocolate, cakes, and other edible delights are already being created by using crystalline sugars, and powders as the medium for 3D printed food. Restaurants are already beginning to appear around the world using this type of food preparation.
You Can Build Your Own 3D Printing Machine!
The driving forces behind 3D printing are the creators and designers who come together to form a community to tackle the next roadblock to progress.
This means that many innovators like to try their hands at building their own machines.
There are also a number of kit machines available for purchase for those who want to get a closer look at the nitty-gritty details of how the process works. For others, a pre-built, ready to print model is all they need to present their next creative idea to the world.
The Manufacturing Process Has Been Changed Forever
Probably the greatest benefit of 3D printing is that it has permanently altered the way people get the design products they want.
In the past, a manufacturer had to develop an entire support system to create even a small product. Let’s say a bike company wants a new type of sprocket with an improved design.
The bike company would have to hire a manufacturer to make thousands of these parts in order to offset the cost of setting up to produce the item.
This is no longer the case as 3D printing has scaled down the process, and is capable of being altered to easily go from one project to another without the cost of setup.
If the bike company only wants one prototype before mass production, they can no do it in the comfort of their own offices.
Earth-Friendly Recyclable Materials Reduce Unwanted Waste
One of the aspects of our 3D operation here at Terrafilum that we are most proud of is our ability to recycle the unused materials we sell to our customers.
The beauty of 3D printing is that much of the unwanted, unused materials or even that hideous first design failure doesn’t have to end up in a landfill, or a rubbish pile where it adds to environmental pollution.
Terrafilum provides an exchange program by which customers can return the used, or leftover material to us, and we will recycle it back into the inventory so that literally no waste is being produced from our already eco-friendly materials.
The bottom line, folks, is that the 3D printing revolution is upon us and will soon be so common, and easy to use that children will finally be able to build their own custom toys the minute their minds imagine it.
THAT is progress!


At Atlas Supplymed S.L. we are committed to our customers to offer high quality products as well as innovative products in the market.
Due to the demands that today's market shows us, one of our priorities in the company is the adaptation to the changes that the market demands always looking for innovative products without forgetting quality.

Vertical farming has found its fatal flaw
In June, a A vast new vertical farm has opened on the outskirts of the English town of Bedford. At a flashy opening event, members of the UK Parliament listen that the sparkling facility will one day produce 20 million trees per year. This is the latest opening for Infarm, a European vertical farming company that has raised more than $600 million in venture capital, promising a future where vegetables are grown in technological warehouses. tall stacked with LEDs instead of in an empty field or a greenhouse.
But now, the future of Bedford Farm does not look very bright. On November 29, of the farm co-founder email your workforce announced that it was laying off “about 500 employees”—more than half of its workforce. The email details the company’s plans to downsize its operations in the UK, France and the Netherlands, while focusing on countries where the company has closer links with retailers and the ultimate opportunity to bring higher profits. In September, Infarm laid off 50 employees, citing the need to reduce operating costs and focus on profit.
Just six months ago the vibe from Europe’s largest vertical farming company was relentlessly upbeat, so what’s changed? According to Cindy van Rijswick, strategist at Dutch research firm RaboResearch, some of the pressures that have always existed for vertical farms have really set in in 2022. First, the industry is very vulnerable. when electricity prices increase. Powering all those LED grow lights uses a lot of electricity, and from December 2020 to July 2022, consumer energy prices in the European Union went up. nearly 58 percent. Eighteen months ago, vertical farms in Europe may have spent around 25% of their operating costs on electricity, but that figure could have risen to around 40%, van Rijswick estimates.
At the same time, investors are starting to tighten their belts and look for faster paths to profitability. Vertical farms are expensive to build compared to conventional outdoor farms. AppHarvest — a US-based high-tech greenhouse builder — has been struggling to find enough cash to fund its ongoing operations despite going public in 2021. In its latest quarterly report, the company said there was “significant doubt” about ability to continue Future.
The poor global financial outlook is also weighing on consumers. Most vertical farms grow herbs, shoots, and other leafy vegetables. Leafy vegetables are the industry’s go-to product as they grow fast under LEDs and have a short shelf life and high price tag. But with inflation high, consumers may want to forego expensive vertical-grown herbs for something a little more budget-friendly. That is especially true for vertical farms in Europe. “The European market is a difficult place for vertical farming because there is so much competition from crops grown in fields or in greenhouses,” said Van Rijswick.

DB Regio is currently operating S-Bahn services in Munich under a contract awarded by the Bavarian Railway Company (BEG) in 2017. The contract called for services to be operated using the existing BR 423 and BR 420 vehicles, with some of this fleet due to be replaced with new vehicles during the term of the contact.
Each vehicle must be around 200m long, up to a maximum of 220m, and must be able to operate through the second city centre S-Bahn tunnel that is due to be completed in 2025.
The tender published by DB Regio on October 7 calls for the development, manufacture, commissioning, approval and delivery of up to 200 EMUs, including provision of spare parts and special tools. The trains must be new, functional, ready for operation, fully equipped, comfortable, certified, and cost-effective. The first vehicles are expected to enter service from December 2026.
Financing for the new fleet will be provided through a leasing model, with one or more leasing companies purchasing the trains and leasing them back to DB Regio and any successor operators.
Requests to participate in the tender must be submitted by November 3, with the contract due to run from July 28 2022 to December 31 2034. After examining the requests to participate, DB Regio will ask selected companies to submit offers.
The tender includes a clause that allows DB Regio to cancel the process if services are affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
BEG unveiled a three-stage long-term plan for the operation of the 434km Munich S-Bahn network in February 2016. DB Regio subsidiary S-Bahn Munich was awarded an interim contract that ran from December 2017 until December 2019, when a new long-term contract covering the entire network came into effect.
When this contract expires in 2032, operation of the network will be divided into lots, with each contract running for around 12 years.

Goldman Sachs' London units will be formally investigated by Britain's financial regulator after U.S. authorities sued the bank for fraud. Financial-market regulators in France and Germany are reviewing the lawsuit filed against Goldman Sachs last week by the SEC.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown called on the FSA, which he created in 1997, to investigate Goldman Sachs two days ago, accusing employees of the bank of "moral bankruptcy."
Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling said today that regulators need to take urgent steps and that the charges against Goldman Sachs had "huge ramifications." Darling, who described the securities Goldman sold as "a bag of pus," said the government would look at changing the law if necessary.

The classic tourist route through Johnston canyon to the ink pots beyond
We took a big group out this weekend for Marta's birthday
Click to view full map
We set out for a day in Banff, starting with a hike through Johnston Canyon to the ink pots.
The first part of the trail is the wheelchair-accessible, shopping mall-crowded catwalk through the canyon.
We hiked through, visiting the lower and upper falls, as well as an additional waterfall I hiked into and finally found.
Marta was blindfolded for the drive up, and we left her unable to see for the beginning of the trail.
A blind Marta is surrounded by the rest of the group.

I Proclaim God has given me the victory over every situation I face
“n all things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus our Lord. Romans: 8:37
The theme of Victory in Jesus is really about His victory over sin. When Jesus died on the cross, He took upon Himself all of my sin and your sin and the sin of the entire world, past, present, and future, upon His body on the cross. He purchased us and redeemed our soul. We were bought back when He paid the ransom for our release. He took the keys and unlocked the doors of our prison cells and set us free.
Begin to tap into the supernatural power of your mind to live in the abundance of life that Christ the Conqueror has made available to you

The Way To Write A Book And Get It Published
If you have ever puzzled tips on how to become an editor, you’ve come to the best place. Editing is a good choice as either a side hustle and even as a full-time gig. If you’re reading this article on this site, you almost certainly have a ardour for changing into an writer and… There are plenty of shifting elements in terms of your launch technique, so it’s essential to draft up a plan before you publish your book. Your e-book’s launch group is essentially a gaggle of people which may be thought-about your goal readers. They will help you promote your guide, and might be actively involved within the launch means of your e-book.
Readers can inform if you’re making the organising as you go or if you know more than they do about where the story takes place. Finally, consider your reader’s perspective. Is this book’s central thought what your readers want? Figure out the intersection between what you discover most fascinating and what audiences discover most fascinating. Bibisco is a word processor that emphasizes character.
Changing your writing setting may be beneficial should you typically do business from home. On days when writing is the final thing in your thoughts, strive writing at a public park, a espresso shop, or a library. It’s acceptable if you’re too mentally exhausted to write ghost writing book by professionals. Take a brief break, after which resume your work. Nothing stifles the productiveness of learning tips on how to write a e-book like an disagreeable work setting. Create a setting in your writing house that stimulates constructive emotions and boosts your sense of well-being.
Traditional homes are pickier than ever; producing anything in print is a major investment and threat. They need to know there’s an viewers waiting to purchase. If you need to publish with one of many big New York houses, then you’ll need to submit your work to literary agents. A book proposal argues why your book is salable and marketable in today’s market. Best-selling authors share insights about how they strategy the writing course of from idea to draft to published on Apple Books. I shared above why I consider that first drafts should be written rapidly, in only a few weeks.
The cause reading your manuscript out loud works so well is because you will catch dozens of belongings you would have otherwise missed. Like Paul says, hearing yourself converse forces you to notice dangerous or strange phrasings—even when you don’t know why it’s off, you realize it’s off. If you find taking the time to take a seat and skim out loud difficult , we suggest having a friend allow you to out. If someone is sitting within the room with you, listening as you learn through the manuscript, it’ll create the social strain you need to really do it. When I wrote my first guide, I had teams of proofreaders working through the guide. I did not assume that a single mistake would sneak by, and fortunately locked in the manuscript.
If that is your first book, it’s unrealistic to expect you can write daily for a quantity of months. Instead, aim to put in writing five or six days each week. Today, write a few paragraphs a couple of single thought or piece of analysis in your nonfiction guide. You might need to write a children’s e-book, or a book about a sport or a food regimen regime.
While a 3rd get together writes autobiographies, biographies are written by the individual. Autobiographies and memoirs are self-written works. Urban fantasy, steampunk, excessive fantasy, epic fantasy, dark fantasy, and sword and sorcery are all subgenres of fantasy. In particular fiction genres, similar to magical realism, the pulpy appeal of fantasy is blended with the technical hurdles inherent in literary fiction. Most importantly, you should drive your self to write down about your chosen subject.
They’re thinking about the mixture between your words and an illustrator’s footage. And when you don’t present a solid half with the words, they’re going to say no. But after I see a book where the main character is indistinguishable from every youngster, that worries me. You don’t desire a character who stands in for every child, you need a primary character that feels REAL. And nothing beats the feeling of holding your printed guide in your hands and reading it to a child for the primary time.
Don’t make that too powerful on yourself, however do make it real. Almost anybody ought to be in a position to manage 2,000 words per week, even with a busy life. And most grownup novels are ,000 words long, so in less than a yr, you’ve yourself a e-book, my pal.
Try to present a balanced argument about the worth of the book for its viewers. You’re entitled—and sometimes obligated—to voice robust agreement or disagreement. But understand that a foul book takes as lengthy to put in writing as an excellent one, and every creator deserves honest therapy. Harsh judgments are tough to prove and can provide readers the sense that you just had been unfair in your evaluation. Does it conform to or depart from the conventions of its genre?
Whatever else, write clearly and economically. If your fashion isn’t instant and exact, children won’t have the patience to keep up with you. If a chapter doesn’t drive the story forwards, you’ll lose them. Write vivid characters to an ingenious plot. Write with humour and a little bit of mischief. Use the “snowflake method” to build your structure.
But all of it begins with a good suggestion, motivation, and getting your self to take a seat down and start writing. Eventually, your book thought will turn out to be a complete book, and following this advice will assist you to make it a great book. An experienced writing coach not only knows tips on how to boost authors’ confidence however is familiar with all the phases of writing a guide.
If I wish to write out of order, I add a scene or convo to the plot outline to slot in. Indeed, you can do it longhand with a separate pocket book for outlines. And then edit the primary time on transcription, which is more efficient than writing to screen.
By selecting a format or construction for your guide’s topic, you’ll align your outline in a way that will be helpful when you start to write every chapter. As you ask household and pals to carry you accountable to writing, and as you join with fellow writers, authors, and mentors, you will be asked about your e-book. Having a prepared elevator pitch will assist you to nail the answer without hesitation, every time.


“Time standing still
Not anymore healing anything
But during dreamtime
The synapses come alive”
Reflection Black is the manifestation of the musical visions of one Elis Alex (Ravencult, Nigredo). Originating from the urban landscapes of Athens, Greece. Reflection Black updates the goth genre into the dark, mystical atmosphere of the 21st century by layering synths and intertwining them with intricate guitars and melodic vocal hooks. The band draws from The Sisters of Mercy and The Mission, bringing to mind the modern sound of present acts She Past Away, Drab Majesty, and Twin Tribes.
Reflection Black’s lethargic second single, “Yet Unseen Colours,” comes off of their debut album, Last Stop To Nowhere (Swiss Dark Nights). As he sings about escaping the cold senses through dreamy images, he is accompanied by a dark, low-tempo, post-punk ballad enriched with synth elements and elegant fills. The result is dark, fast, and polished, striking the perfect balance between dreamy synth lines, crystalline guitars, and infectious vocal hooks.
“Yet Unseen Colours serves as an anthemic interlude and an introduction to the following track of the album but it is by no means a filler track,” says Alex. “It is the most emotionally intense track…talking about the exploration of alternate sensory realities through dreams, and the escape from the dull reality of everyday senses.”
The song comes with a psychedelic lyric video by John Kaimakamis. Sing along below:
“Yet Unseen Colours” was produced by George Emmanuel (Lucifer’s Child, Rotting Christ) of Pentagram Studio, with vocals recorded with Sokratis Bebis.
Reflection Black released their debut 3-track EP “Entering Dreamtime” in May 2022 through Razorbleed Productions.

This summer, a fascinating novel evoking imagery from fairy tales likes Little Red Riding Hood arrived – but this one was a little different. Ava Reid’s The Wolf and the Woodsman explores Jewish mythology while leaning into Hungarian history. If you enjoyed Gabriela Houston’s The Second Bell or Katherine Arden’s The Winternight Trilogy or even Cat Valente’s Deathless, this one is for you. And it is a great book to curl up to with a hot cup of cocoa.
Whereas in many fantasy novels, the protagonist is marked out by having extraordinary abilities, not by their lack of them! Why did you want to take this approach?
The Wolf and the Woodsman is a book about exclusion, and I think this theme resonates in every aspect of the book. Évike is excluded from the stories that are told in her village, she’s bereft of the magic that should be her birthright, and she’s even literally given up as a sacrifice, shed like a dress that doesn’t fit. Évike struggles with her identity and where she belongs in the world in the same way that the nation of Régország struggles to define itself (yes, states have identities, and indeed identity crises, too). Both on a micro and macro level, this is a book about narrative, the violence it takes to create and maintain it, and the pain of exclusion from it.
Freedom of religion and escape from religious persecution is a strong theme in the novel. Why did you want to explore this theme? How did using a fantastical setting and paganism help/hinder your attempts to make social commentary in this respect?
Well, I wanted to include Jews in a fantasy world, which is pretty difficult to do without touching on themes of religious persecution. I’m not really interested in writing escapist fantasy (as I’m sure you can tell!) and I didn’t want to shy away from the truly painful histories of religious minorities in Europe.
I would have to say that the biggest difficulty in exploring this theme—and indeed incorporating aspects of Hungarian paganism at all—was the contemporary political context of it all. The Hungarian pagan revival movement is almost universally right-wing, ethnic nationalist, and antisemitic. They view pre-Christian Hungary as purer, unfettered by the presence of immigrants and ethnic minorities (even though this is utterly ahistorical). The turul is one of the symbols associated with the Arrow Cross, the Hungarian Nazi party. As a Jewish person, I knew people would have a problem with me writing this book from the get-go. And the choices I made were very much informed by the contemporary politics of Hungary. There’s a reason why Évike is an outcast even among the marginalized pagans, who are ultimately just as antisemitic as the larger Christian kingdom.
For some time, your main characters are travelling through a hostile land. What are some of your favourite tropes from this sort of epic fantasy quest style narrative?
Funnily enough, after I wrote The Wolf and the Woodsman I swore I was never going to write a “journey” book again (and indeed my second book is a claustrophobic gothic horror). I love exploring a sweeping landscape, all the opportunities for forced proximity between the main character and the love interest—and, really, being able to include so many different monstrous creatures. One of my favorite parts of writing is description and I’m a sucker for a good pastoral metaphor. I think “journey” books give a feeling of both breadth and depth of the world, which is why they’re so appealing (and also why they’re so difficult to write!)
Enemies to lovers is one of the oldest tropes out there – but we never seem to tire of it! Why is this such an enduring trope? Did you hope to bring anything new to it or subvert it in any way? Why did you want to use it?
I think there’s a version of The Wolf and the Woodsman where Évike really is a seer, someone who is gifted with extraordinary abilities and universally adored in her village, and who is tragically given up because they truly have no other choice. And Gáspár really is the golden prince, the chosen son, who hasn’t had his birthright taken from him (or his eye). That would still be an enemies-to-lovers romance, but it would miss something really crucial to the story I wanted to tell.
Ultimately, I wanted to tell a story about two outcasts who share a history of marginalization and exclusion and who understand each other’s pain. Both of them are torn between worlds, both of them are seen as somehow “lacking” (Gáspár quite literally missing an eye; Évike bereft of magic), and both have their bloodlines to blame for it. What I think is universally appealing about the enemies-to-lovers trope is that ultimately it’s about love conquering all. It’s about a connection so strong that it transcends bloodshed and bigotry and years of history and miles of territory. And I think in order for the trope to work, for the romance to be really compelling, you need that point of connection.
Évike is incredibly lonely at the outset of the book, and all she wants is someone who can understand her. She finds that person in Gáspár.
Pitch us The Wolf and the Woodsman! Why should we pick up a copy?
My typical elevator pitch for The Wolf and the Woodsman is that it’s a literary-leaning adult epic fantasy for fans of Naomi Novik and Katherine Arden, but based on Hungarian history and Jewish mythology. It has the eternally-adored enemies-to-lovers trope, coupled with lots of religious angst, a magic system based on body horror if you’re into that particular brand of fantasy, and I think it challenges and subverts a lot of assumptions about nationalism and nation-building in the genre. There’s also a kneeling scene that people seem to really enjoy—if you like your men tortured and pious (think Hot Priest from Fleabag), this is the book for you.
Ava Reid was born in Manhattan and raised right across the Hudson River in Hoboken, New Jersey, but currently lives in Palo Alto, California. She has a degree in political science from Barnard College, focusing on religion and ethnonationalism. She has worked for a refugee resettlement organization, for a U.S. senator, and, most recently, for an AI robotics startup. The Wolf and the Woodsman is her first novel.

While the internet and technology in general has worked to make our lives more efficiently and convenient, it has also increased the spread of misinformation. We can now make dinner reservations and buy movie tickets online, physicians can get x-rays within minutes and we can video chat with mom from half way around the world.
But there have been some drawbacks as well. Namely, the overabundance of medical websites allows us to self-diagnose–usually inaccurately–based on limited information. Trying to learn a bit more about your health isn’t a problem; but thinking you’ve made the correct diagnosis and can therefore formulate your own treatment plan can be very problematic.
This lack of information combined with the multitude of misinformation floating on the internet can cause problems with easy solutions, to worsen. This is especially true when it comes to extreme spikes and dips in blood sugar.
Since more than 70 million Americans suffer from irregular blood sugar, one can only imagine just how much information they receive on a regular basis is completely wrong at best, and harmful at worst. What conventional wisdom tells us about regulating blood sugar is mostly wrong and based on flawed information.
So what is true and it is fiction when it comes to blood sugar regulation?
Fiction — No Symptoms=No Problem
This is perhaps the worse piece of incorrect information at all. Sure there is that popular saying that “no news is good news” but the problem is that many people have no clue what symptoms of too low or too high blood sugar look like.
If your blood sugar is too high you can have problems and not even be aware that they are problems. For example if you urinate frequently or feel nauseous or drowsy, you may be suffering from high blood sugar. Do you have extreme bouts of thirst or hunger? These are yet more symptoms of high blood sugar that you may ignore or chalk up to not eating all day or drinking too much soda or beer.
On the other side, if you have low blood sugar you may find yourself feeling sweaty, anxious, irritable, dizzy and tired. Being extremely hungry and having a fast heartbeat are more symptoms, which most of us consider situational problems rather than irregular blood sugar.
So you may not think you have symptoms of blood sugar when you do.
Fiction — Low Fat Diet Regulates Blood Sugar
This is one of the most common pieces of blood sugar fiction out there because it’s more than wrong; it’s exactly the opposite of true.
Our bodies need fat for fuel and depriving the body of essential fuel will cause it to react in a way that produces nearly all the symptoms of low blood sugar, known as hypoglycemia. This misconception mixes up fat and sugar, when the truth is a low-glucose diet can help you regulate your blood sugar.
Let me be clear, a low-fat diet will help you lose weight which CAN regulate blood sugar, but the truth is that thin people also suffer from irregular blood sugar, which means weight is no guarantee of a regulated blood sugar level.
Too much sugar causes blood sugar to spike and too little causes it to crash. This is why when you eat a donut for breakfast; you have a sugar high followed by a sugar crash once it has been quickly burned. This is the definition of irregular blood sugar.
Fiction — No Natural Solutions
The truth is that the most effective way to regulate your blood sugar is natural, all-natural in fact. For starters instead of eating the traditional breakfast, lunch and dinner, eat smaller healthy meals every 3 or 4 hours. This will not only boost metabolism, but also keep your blood sugar levels even.
Eliminating high sugar and high fat foods can help keep your blood sugar on an even keel. Eat foods like fresh fruits & vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains instead of cupcakes, pizza and candy.
Finally regular exercise is a great way to regulate blood sugar.

GLONASS loses a satellite
A GLONASS satellite has been decommissioned because of a terminal malfunction.
The Russian Federal Space Agency announced on 22 October that it had stopped receiving signals from GLONASS 728 in July - and attempts to fix the malfunction had been unsuccessful. Hence the spacecraft has now been withdrawn from the constellation permanently.
The satellite was launched in 2008 and became operational in January 2009.
There are still 28 satellites in the constellation:
- 24 operational
- 3 spares (1 in each orbital plain)
- 1 under test
GLONASS requires 18 operational satellites for continuous navigation over Russian territory and 24 to provide global cover. So the system is still 'global'.
The Agency explains that, by 2020, it is planned to have 30 Glonass-M and new-generation -K satellites in orbit, including 6 in reserve.
Details from the links below.

A good starting point. That’s how Brian O’Neal described his first season as Ole Miss’ track and field coach. The Rebels finished eighth in the nation last week at the annual NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. It was the best finish in school history but made possible thanks to spectacular efforts of just two athletes, sprinter Isiah Young and pole vaulter Sam Kendricks.
Young scored 14 of the team’s 24 points and he won’t be back next season. Kendricks, a sophomore, will return but it’s clear that the athletes O’Neal redshirted this spring, coupled with a large recruiting class, are needed to get the team ranked higher. (June 14, 2013, Page 6A)

Paradox Podcast Episode 45: The GOP Has 99 Problems and Women Voters Are Just One (with Guest Marybeth Glenn)
Jordan and Matthias welcomed Marybeth Glenn of epic tweet storm fame this week to talk about the future of the GOP, Hillary Clinton’s scorn for the rule of law, and the real conflict of our time: Cubs vs. Cardinals.
Resident feminist and pop-culture-lover Jordan is uncomfortable with the report that the Netflix show “Jessica Jones” has only female directors in its second season. Marybeth demands that the Chicago Cubs lose the World Series. Matthias explains why he thinks Clinton is the true “burn it to the ground” candidate.
The GOP’s Woman Problem … and Millennial Problem … and Urban Problem … and …
We ask Marybeth what brought on her insightful viral Twitter rant about the GOP, sexism, Trump and Republican women.
Marybeth explores the idea of a new conservative party that appeals to “middle-of-the-road” voters and gives her argument why anyone who supported Trump should not helm the GOP moving forward. We discuss Evan McMullin and the possibility of a new party as well as the GOP’s issues with women, millennials, and minority and urban voters.
Jordan predicts that even in the age of binge-watching, it will take her several months to finish “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” because it’s such an intense show. Matthias says there will be no rioting after the election.

For today’s post, which is also my Femme Fatale Friday post of this American Horror Story-themed week, I have decided to do a countdown of Lily Rabe’s top five performances on American Horror Story! Each of these characters has a bit of a Femme Fatale side, so I thought it fitting! Next week, I will go back to a more traditional Femme Fatale Friday form, but I hope you like this week’s little change-up.
Number 5: Eileen Wuornos (AHS: Hotel)
~While this is only a guest spot, Rabe’s portrayal of the ghost of infamous serial killer Eileen Wuornos is really fun to watch. She seemed to really get down the mannerisms of the famous killer and it was obvious that everyone had fun in the scenes, making them very memorable!
Number 4: Shelby Miller (AHS: Roanoke)
~Shelby is a character that moved from LA to her husband’s home state in order to try to recover after a tragic miscarriage. The two would be tortured by ghosts in their new home, The Big Shaker Mansion, until they eventually escaped. They would sign on to do a reality series, and later a follow-up after their marriage crumbled. She is sympathetic, if a sometimes annoying character (at least according to the others who are staying with her for the second show), who goes through great trauma before being killed. The performance is subtle but well done!
Number 3: Nora Montgomery (AHS: Murder House)
~In the first season, Rabe played the wife of an elite doctor to the stars who ended up becoming an addict. This is how he ended up performing illegal abortions in the gorgeous house he built for her (the one that became Murder House). They ended up having their son murdered by the boyfriend of one of his clients. Charles would go on to Frankenstein their son back together, creating a monster, and Nora would kill both her husband and herself. She is a sympathetic yet spoiled character who has to learn the hard way, after decades as a ghost, that she was never cut out to be a mother.
Number 2: Sister Mary Eunice (AHS: Asylum & Freakshow)
~One of the most interesting dual performances on the show is this one. Mary Eunice began as a very sweet-tempered nun, but then she becomes the victim of demonic possession, and becomes a really creepy and entertaining villain! Lily Rabe does an excellent job of balancing both roles this season!
Number 1: Misty Day (AHS: Coven & Apocalypse)
~Of course, Misty is my favorite! She is the free-spirited, empathetic, Stevie Nicks-loving swamp witch. She is so powerful she was able to resurrect herself after being burned to death. She had a kind personality, but still had a tough side, as she always had to take care of herself! She ended up stuck in her personal hell before being rescued in Apocalypse. Even with the timeline reset, she got to come back thanks to Papa Legba sending Nan to retrieve her and bring her back to Cordelia!
~I hope you have enjoyed this countdown. Did I include your favorite Lily Rabe character? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Quest Sells Company for 1 Billion Dollars!
Quest Nutrition (makers of the low-carb bars, cookies, chips, pizzas, protein powder and more) have sold out! The new owners will be The Simply Good Foods Company - a publicly traded company that owns Atkins and a number of other mass market brands. The deal will be for $1.0 billion dollars. Quest has went through some ups and downs over the years from bars not meeting label claims to laying off 524 staff members, but they’ve made off like bandits with this deal and are going to take the money and run! Quest has always focussed on creating snacks high in protein with minimal sugars and net carbohydrates. The pairing of Atkins and Quest unites well-known brands with combined estimated net sales of over $800 million and strong margins.
“The acquisition of Quest strengthens Simply Good Foods’ position within the nutritional snacking category by expanding our portfolio of brands and product offerings while also providing us with greater consumer and channel diversification,” said Joseph E. Scalzo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Simply Good Foods. “This combination delivers on our strategy to become a broader nutritional snacking company that offers consumers a broad range of brands and products that satisfy their nutritional needs. We also believe that our collective brands will benefit from increased cross-selling and marketing opportunities, as well as enhanced go-to-market strategies that will drive meaningful net sales and earnings growth. Quest is supported by an innovative spirit and dedicated employees committed to supporting consumers’ healthy lifestyles, and both Quest and our existing brands will benefit from sharing best practices and insights in marketing, distribution and supply chain management to deliver on our commitment to customers and consumers. Upon the closing of the transaction we look forward to working with Dave Ritterbush, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quest, and his team, and welcoming Dave to the Simply Good Foods Board of Directors.”
“We are excited to join the Simply Good Foods family and I’m personally pleased to be joining the Simply Good Foods Board of Directors upon closing, as we collectively drive the next stage of Quest’s growth,” said Dave Ritterbush, President and CEO of Quest Nutrition. “The Simply Good Foods team has a strong track record in building leading nutrition brands and I feel that Quest will fit perfectly in their overall mission. As part of Simply Good Foods, Quest will benefit from the combination of two great organizations focused on providing consumers with healthier food choices. I’m incredibly proud of everything that Quest and our team has accomplished and excited for the next phase of our growth by joining a larger, more diverse nutritional snacking company.”
Business Reasons Why They Bought Quest
- Quest’s products - primarily, bars, cookies, chips and pizza - compete in many of the attractive, fast growing snacking categories. Quest has an extremely loyal following and favorable demographic profile with strong appeal among consumers 18-44 years old with almost no overlap with the Atkins consumer.
- Given Quest’s growth trajectory, innovation pipeline and identified cost synergies, the new owners believe there is financial flexibility to continue investing in Quest and expand margins (i.e. make more money).
- This transaction will enable Simply Good Foods to benefit from Quest’s effectiveness within e-commerce, social platforms, specialty and other distribution channels, while Quest will benefit from Simply Good Foods’ expertise in building distribution in FDM (food/drug/mass) channels and growing brand awareness via mass media.
- They belive they can achieving an estimated $20 million in cost savings by having Quest and their other brands all under one business.
- The strategic acquisition of Quest, which has net sales and Adjusted EBITDA2 of about $345million and $50 million, respectively, provides Simply Good Foods with additional scale and is complementary to the Company’s long-term net sales and adjusted EBITDA growth algorithm.

“The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The United States… does not challenge that position.”
Thus did President Nixon, in the Shanghai Communique of 1972, accept China’s territorial claim to the island of Taiwan.
In 1979, Jimmy Carter severed relations with Taiwan, recognized Beijing as the legitimate government and dissolved the U.S. mutual security treaty with the Republic of China on Taiwan. We ceased to be obligated to go to war to defend Taiwan.
Fast-forward four decades to the first weekend of President Joe Biden’s administration. Saturday, China sent eight nuclear-capable bombers and four fighter planes into the air defense identification zone of Taiwan.
Sunday, Beijing sent 16 military aircraft into the same region.
Observing U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and visits by U.S. officials, China is issuing us a reminder:
“You Americans are encouraging those on the island who seek independence. Not going to happen. Rather than let Taiwan go, we will fight. Taiwan is a part of China and is a red line for us.”

Radioactivity Detected 60 Miles From Fukushima Power Plant
And keeping the news going is the update from NHK that at least 11 people have died in the second blast reported earlier:
At least eleven people died in a second explosion at the Fukushima nuclear plant in north-eastern Japan on Monday, NHK TV said.
The build-up of hydrogen caused reactor no. 3 to explode at around 02:00 GMT but the government’s top spokesman, Yukio Edano, said its core was still intact. He said there was a “low possibility” of a rise in radiation levels near the damaged plant.
A blast occurred in the plant’s reactor no. 1 on Saturday.
The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., told the TV station that the cooling system at reactor no. 2 has failed.

Some ranges of cannabis

range, while others are more tolerant of higher
temperatures. The size of your exhaust fan will
depend upon the size of your grow area and
amount of heat produced by your lighting
system. HID systems put out a lot
of heat, especially if they
aren't mounted in air-cooled hoods.
Beginners Guide To Growing Marijuana - Potguide.com
It's recommended to set up
your lights, turn them on for a while, and after that
determine how much air
flow you'll require to keep a
comfy temperature level for your plants. This will
permit you to choose an exhaust fan
ideal for your needs. If the
odor of marijuana plants in flower
will cause you problems, add a charcoal
filter to your exhaust fan.
Finally, it's a great idea to
have a continuous light breeze in your grow
space as this strengthens your plants'
stems and produces a less congenial
environment for mold and flying bugs. A wall-mounted
circulating fan works well for this
function-- simply don't point it
directly at your plants, because that can
While there are advanced (and expensive)
systems readily available that control
lights, temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, the
beginner will normally
require a basic 24 hr timer for the
light and an adjustable thermostat switch for the exhaust fan. The
timing of the light/dark cycle is very
important when growing marijuana;
usually you will have your lights on for
16-20 hours per 24 hour duration while the plants are
in vegetative development, then change to
12 hours of light per 24 when you desire them to flower.
You can utilize a timer for your exhaust fan as well,
but investing a couple of
extra dollars on a thermostat switch is a
far better choice. With one of the most standard designs,
you simply set the thermostat on the gadget to
the maximum preferred
temperature level for your area and plug your
exhaust fan into it.
This conserves energy and maintains a constant temperature. Considering that you're
probably not spending many of your time in your grow space, a combination
hygrometer/thermostat with high/low memory function can be
very handy in keeping
tabs on conditions in your space. These little,
affordable devices not

Cannabis chooses a pH between 6 and 7
in soil, and between 5.5 and 6.5 in hydroponic media.
Letting the pH leave this variety can cause nutrient lockout,
implying your plants are unable to absorb the nutrients they need, so
make certain to test your water and
soil frequently and make sure the nutrient mix you are feeding your plants falls within the
Here we'll take a look at the two most popular
approaches and the media they use.
Soil is the most traditional medium for growing
cannabis inside, in
addition to the most flexible, making it an excellent choice for
first-time growers. Any high quality potting soil will
work, as long as it does not include
artificial prolonged release fertilizer (like
Miracle Gro), which is inappropriate
for growing excellent marijuana.
How To Grow
Cannabis: A Beginner's Guide To Safely ...
This can be made yourself by integrating worm castings, bat
guano, and other elements with a great soil and letting it sit for a few weeks, or it
can be purchased pre-made from a couple of
different suppliers. Just like all natural
growing, this method relies on a healthy population of mycorrhizae and soil
bacteria to help with the conversion of
organic matter into nutrients that are useable
to the plant.
Indoor growers are significantly relying on soilless, hydroponic
media for cultivating marijuana plants. This
technique needs feeding with
concentrated options of mineral salt
nutrients that are soaked up straight by
the roots through the process of osmosis. The
method for quicker nutrient uptake causing faster development and larger
yields, but it likewise needs a
greater order of precision as plants are quicker to
respond to over or underfeeding and are more
susceptible to nutrient burn and lockout.
(Thanks To GroBox) Different
products used include rockwool,
vermiculite, expanded clay pebbles, perlite, and coco coir,
simply to call a few.
Commercial soilless blends are
extensively readily available that
combine 2 or more of these media to
produce an optimized growing mix.
Soilless media can be utilized in automated hydroponic setups or
in hand-watered specific containers.
A flood-and-drain, tray-style hydroponic system may
utilize small net pots filled with clay pebbles or
simply a huge piece of rockwool to grow
numerous little plants, while a "super-soil" grow
may use 10 gallon nursery pots to grow a few large plants. Inexpensive
alternatives consist of non
reusable perforated plastic bags or fabric bags, while some
select to invest more on "wise
pots," containers that are developed to
improve air flow to the plant's root zone.
Drain is key, however, as
marijuana plants are extremely
delicate to water-logged conditions, so if you
repurpose other containers, be sure to drill
holes in the bottoms and set them in trays. Growing high-quality cannabis flowers requires more
fertilizer, or nutrients, than most common crops. Your plant
needs the following primary nutrients
(collectively referred to as
macronutrients): Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P) Potassium (K) These
micronutrients are required also, albeit in much
smaller sized quantities: Calcium Magnesium Iron
Copper If you aren't using a pre-fertilized
organic soil mix, you will require to feed your plants
a minimum of when a week using
an appropriate nutrient solution.
This is due to the fact that cannabis has
changing macronutrient requirements throughout its
lifecycle, needing more nitrogen throughout
vegetative growth, and more phosphorus and potassium
during bud production. A lot of
macronutrients are sold in a two-part liquid to
aspects from speeding up

by the plant), implying you'll
require to purchase two bottles (part A and
part B) for veg, and 2 bottles for grow, in addition
to a bottle of micronutrients.
acquired the needed
nutrient products, merely blend them with
water as directed by the label and water your plants with this
solution. You need to
always start at half-strength due to
the fact that cannabis plants are easily burned.
It's often even worse to
overfeed your plants than to underfeed them, and with time you will discover to
"read" your plants for indications of
deficiencies or excesses.
In addition, some places
may have high levels of chlorine in the water system, which can be hazardous to
advantageous soil microorganisms.
For these reasons, lots of
pick to filter the water they utilize in their
gardens. The most important thing to bear in mind throughout this
phase is to not overwater. Marijuana plants are
really prone to fungal root
illness when conditions are too damp, and overwatering
is one of the most common mistakes made by
the beginning grower.
