This study investigates the status of poets and poetry in sixteenth-century Ottoman Damascus by focusing on soldier-turned-poet Māmayya al-Rūmī (d. 985-7/1577-9). As a poet he received patronage from local centers of prestige; however, such support seems to have been at best sporadic. While his dīwān (collection of poetry) is replete with poems celebrating his poetic ingenuity—notwithstanding the fact that he was not a native Arab, it is also a testimony to his frustrations with lack of financial security and his diminishing social status. In addition to gloomy poetry, he also composed a great number of panegyrics in honor of Ottoman sultans, scholars, and administrators. What was Māmayya's position in the literary culture of sixteenth-century Damascus as a Rūmī? What was the role of panegyric poetry in this period? Did poets voice their concerns about lack of appreciation? This study explores these questions by focusing on a selection of poems by Māmayya al-Rūmī with references to his contemporary, and later poets.

The" hakimul Ummah" of the Deobandis loved money through out his life!
He said " if I had Rupees 10,000 , I would have distributed among the people and they would have automatically become wahabis !
But what was the last will of shaykh Thanvi?
And this humble man ( haqeer) married another woman in last Ramadhan in 1334 AH , so take care of her also after my death. Try to arrange Twenty Rupees monthly for her , or even Rupees Ten will do. You can also distribute Rupees fifteen monthly to my both wife after my death!

Local company buys two medical office buildings
By MICHAEL BRAGA
A local company has bought two medical office buildings off Sawyer Road totaling 22,366 square feet for about $1.7 million.
Sarasota Commons Medical Group -- The Tanner Division financed the purchases with $1.5 million in loans from Regions Bank, records show.
One of the buildings at 4000 Sawyer Road was previously owned by chiropractor Abraham Kozma. Kozma paid $1.15 million for the 5,734-square-foot building in April 2005 and sold it to Sarasota Commons for $605,000.
The other building at 4020 Sawyer Road was previously owned by 4020 Investments LLC, a Sarasota company managed by Stephen B. Keyser. Keyser's company paid $1.75 million for the 16,632-square-foot building in June 2005 and sold it to Sarasota Commons for $1.1 million.
The deals follow on the heels of an $8.8 million deal for a pair of medical offices properties earlier this month.
HR Acquisition I Corp., a subsidiary of Nashville-based Healthcare Realty, sold a 10,084-square-foot office condominium at 5440 63rd St. E. and a 51,874-square-foot office complex at 3501 Cortez Road W.
The two medical buildings now belong to River Landings Medical Center LLC and Bay Area Medical Plaza LLC, two Illinois companies managed by the same businessman.

Family of American Russia detainee Paul Whelan worried over his whereabouts
Marine veteran has not been heard from since November 23
The family of Paul Whelan said that he has never failed to call on a regular basis. Reuters

It has been one week since the family of Paul Whelan, an American detained in Russia since 2018, heard from the former US marine.
Mr Whelan calls his parents daily and his family said he would never miss calling on Thanksgiving.
"It's very weird that he wouldn't call on Thanksgiving," said his twin brother, David. "Obviously it's an important holiday for our family and he's very sentimental about those sorts of holidays."

Biden calls family of American Paul Whelan imprisoned in Russia
Mr Whelan's father turned 85 on Wednesday, a milestone his family said he would never miss the opportunity to call for, if he was able.
David Whelan said officials had told the US embassy that his brother had been moved to the prison hospital, but he said that does not explain the lack of communication.
"On at least one other hospital visit, he has been able to call home," he told The National.
Though Mr Whelan has gone long stretches without communicating with his family before, it is rare that they go unexplained.
"It's really disconcerting that suddenly he would disappear," his brother said.
US officials said they are trying to confirm where Mr Whelan is being held but they have not yet been successful.

"We have been trying to get more information about Mr Whelan's condition and his whereabouts," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby on Wednesday.
"And as we speak this morning, regrettably, we do not have an update specifically about where he is or what condition he's in."
Mr Whelan is serving a 16-year sentence for espionage after being detained four years ago while visiting Moscow for a friend's wedding.
"We certainly share the anxiety and the concern of the family," Mr Kirby said.
"We are deeply concerned about the lack of information and the lack of contact from Paul, and we're working on it as hard as we can through the diplomatic channels."
The families of Mr Whelan and of basketball star Brittney Griner, who is serving a nine-year sentence in a Russian prison after being convicted of drug-trafficking charges, have called on US President Joe Biden to find a way to bring them home.
In April, the Biden administration successfully negotiated the release of Trevor Reed, another former marine held in Russia, in exchange for Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot who was serving a 20-year jail sentence in the US for conspiring to import cocaine.

Many of us know video games can be addicting. We might know that from first hand experience sitting in front of a monitor or we may simply know someone who became very involved in a game. As traders, we know that those games can be a big business.
One example of the business of video games is Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI). Activision Blizzard is a developer and publisher of interactive entertainment content and services.
The company develops and distributes content and services across various gaming platforms, including video game consoles, personal computers (PC) and mobile devices.
Founded in 1979 as the first independent video game software developer and distributor, the company launched a series of multi-million unit selling titles in the early 1980's for the Atari 2600 including Pitfall, Kaboom! and River Raid. And since then, the company has continued to deliver popular games.
Popular games in the current roster of products include Call of Duty, Destiny 2 and Crash Bandicoot.
Over the past twelve months, sales of games and other products topped $6.9 billion. Strong sales and earnings have made the stock a long term winner, gaining more than 3,100% since 2004.
Recent price action shows that the stock remains a top performer but the move to the up side has slowed.
Now, the stock could fall into a trading range that could last until earnings are released. The company has scheduled its fourth quarter earnings announcement for February 8. Over the past 15 years, the stock has shown a tendency to drift in a narrow range while awaiting these results.
Seasonal trends like that can be useful for traders to consider. News, like earnings announcements, tends to be scheduled near the same time of the year in successive years. This results in patterns and those seasonal patterns can tell traders what to expect.
Seasonal trends are simply tendencies and should never be the sole reason for taking a trade. In this case, the chart pattern aligns well with the seasonal pattern.
ATVI has rallied sharply in the past few weeks and is now overbought. An overbought stock is likely to pull back or at least consolidate its gains for some period of time. For ATVI, the chart pattern suggests a consolidation is likely, the same conclusion reached with an analysis of the seasonal pattern.
It's possible the consolidation will last until the earnings report. After that, the stock could make a significant price move. But, until then traders are likely to look for other opportunities as they wait for news from the company.
Selling the options will generate $2.30 in income ($0.95 from the call and $1.35 from the put). Buying the options will cost $2.10 ($1.30 for the call and $0.80 for the put). This means opening the trade will result in a credit of $0.20, or $20 for each contract since each contract covers 100 shares.
The maximum risk on the trade is equal to the difference in strike prices ($2.00) minus the premium received ($0.20). This is equal to $1.80, or $180 since each contract covers 100 shares. Many brokers will require a margin deposit equal to the amount of risk. That means this trade may require just $180 in capital.
The potential reward on the trade ($20) is about 11% of the amount risked, a high potential return on investment for a trade that will be open for about one week. If a trade like this is entered every week, a small trader could quickly increase the amount of capital in their trading account.
This trade could also be closed out early, ahead of the earnings report, to reduce the potential risks of the trade. It could still deliver its maximum gain even if the position is closed before the expiration date of the options.

EPA Sued Over Failure to Close Pesticide-Coated Seed Loophole Killing Bees and Endangered Species
https://centerforfoodsafety.org/files/lawsuit-filed-coated-seeds_29820.jpg
SAN FRANCISCO—Yesterday, Center for Food Safety (CFS) and Pesticide Action Network of North America sued the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over the agency's failure to regulate pesticide-coated seeds, harming bees and other pollinators. These crop seeds are coated with systemic insecticides known as neonicotinoids, the most widely used insecticides, and have devastating environmental effects. CFS filed a rulemaking petition back in 2017 that would close the loophole, but EPA has still never addressed it.
"Nearly five years ago, we provided EPA the legal blueprint to solve this problem and the legal impetus to do it, yet they have still sat on their hands," said George Kimbrell, CFS legal director and counsel in the case. "While EPA fiddles, grave harm to bees and other pollinators continues. That delay must end."
Crops grown from coated seeds, such as corn, soybean, and sunflower seeds, cover over 150 million acres of U.S. farmland each year. Neonicotinoids are taken up into the plant's circulatory system as the plant grows, permeating leaf, pollen, nectar, and other plant tissues. Neonicotinoids affect the central nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. Sublethal impacts include impaired navigation and learning. As a result, beneficial insects, valuable pollinators, and birds—including threatened and endangered species protected under the Endangered Species Act—are killed or injured. Additionally, more than eighty percent of the pesticide coating can leave the seed, contaminating the air, soil, and waterways of surrounding environments. Most notably, clouds of neonicotinoid-laced dust released during planting operations has caused mass die-offs of honey bees and wild native bees.
"Science has shown that coating seeds with pesticides is not only ineffective, but can cause real harm to pollinators, workers, and farmers," said PAN senior scientist Margaret Reeves, a plaintiff in the case. "The vast majority of acres planted in crops such as corn, soybean, and cotton are planted with pesticide-treated seeds, yet farmers know less about pesticides applied to their seeds than pesticides applied in other ways. EPA must regulate this use and mitigate this danger."
The 2017 petition demanded EPA close a regulatory loophole that allows seeds coated with systemic pesticides (coated seeds) to evade the registration and labeling requirements of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA currently exempts coated seeds from FIFRA's registration requirements and has failed to assess the risks of these unregulated seeds—while never providing the public with any justification for this exemption.
CFS, through its Pollinators & Pesticides program, has long advocated for thorough, science-based safety testing and proper regulation of new pesticide product uses prior to any marketing and cultivation of crops, in a manner that minimizes lethal and sublethal effects on non-target species. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are Pesticide Action Network of North America and Center for Food Safety, represented by counsel from the Center for Food Safety.

Home IP & Tech Law EDPB responds to questions on processing health data
EDPB responds to questions on processing health data
courts Mar 29, 2021 comments off
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) recently responded to questions submitted by the EU Commission seeking clarification on the consistent application of the GDPR to health research. The responses cover 21 questions and provide clarity on issues such as: the legal basis for processing health data; processing of special categories of data on a large scale; and further processing of previously collected health data. While it is clear that many questions remain unanswered, further responses are expected in forthcoming guidance currently being prepared by the EDPB.
All processing of personal data concerning health must comply with the data protection principles set out in Article 5 of the GDPR, along with one of the legal grounds set out in Article 6 and Article 9 of the GDPR.
The EDPB acknowledges that a number of legal bases may be relied upon for processing health data. While explicit consent can be used, reliance on this legal basis requires confirmation that no imbalance of power exists between data subjects and researchers.
The EDPB notes "Member State and/or Union law is needed in order to stipulate a legal obligation (c) and/or a task carried out in the public interest (e) under Article 6 GDPR and to stipulate reasons of substantial public interest (g), reasons of public interest in the area of public health (i) and/or scientific research purposes (j) under Article 9 GDPR". This means there is a divergence in national rules for the processing of genetic, biometric, and health data. In recognising the issues with GDPR compliance when conducting a health research project in multiple Member States, the EDPB recommends the use of the same legal basis for processing data associated with the project. The EDPB calls on the EU Commission to introduce a common framework for the exchange of health data as part of the European Health Data Space.
The notion of broad consent
In responding to questions relating to "broad consent", the EDPB suggest that while Recital 33 of the GDPR opens up a possibility to mitigate the requirement of specificity of consent, it is subject to a stricter interpretation and requires a high degree of scrutiny as it relates to special categories of data. When the purposes cannot be fully specified, a controller is expected to ensure transparency and have adequate safeguards in place for example, allowing data subjects to withdraw or further specify their consent.
Processing of special categories of data on a large scale
In determining whether it is mandatory for the controller to carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) prior to processing health data for scientific research purposes, the EDPB recommends that the controller should not solely focus on Article 35(2)(b) of the GDPR (which requires a DPIA prior to processing special category data on a large scale), but to take into account Article 35 of the GDPR as a whole. The EDPB point out that the Guidelines on DPIA provide a useful set of criteria and examples for determining whether processing is "likely to result in a high risk", and thus require a DPIA to be carried out. It is important to note that variations exist between Member States in relation to the types of processing that warrant a mandatory DPIA.
When addressing the above questions relating to the possible legal basis for processing, the concept of broad consent, and the meaning of "large scale" processing the EDPB refers the Commission to its previously published guidelines on the interplay between the GDPR and the Clinical Trials Regulation (previously discussed here) and its updated guidance on consent.
Transparency of data processing
In repose to the EU Commissions question on exemptions available from transparency, the EDPB highlight the obligations for controllers set out in Articles 13 (data obtained from the data subject) and 14 (data not obtained from the data subject) of the GDPR as key element of transparency. Before further processing takes place, the controller should provide the data subject with information on that other purpose and with any relevant further information (Article 13(3) and Article 14(4)). Article 14(5)(b) of the GDPR, which should be interpreted in a restricted way, provides an exception to this obligation for scientific research. In confirming that no exception exists for Article 13 of the GDPR, the EDPB suggest that controllers should act appropriately at the time of collection of the data and implement 'more dynamic ways' of informing data subjects about future research.
In relation to retention of data, the EDPB confirms that personal data could be stored for longer than is necessary for the initial purpose if retained solely for scientific research purposes. Such scientific research much be performed in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR.
Further processing of previously collected health data
The presumption of compatibility under Article 5(1)(b) of the GDPR can only be used under the condition that in such further processing for scientific research purposes adequate safeguards as required by Article 89(1) of the GDPR are respected. When further processing of health data relies on the presumption of compatible use, the controller must take Article 9 of the GDPR into account. This is important, as the exemption to the prohibition on the processing of health data that a health care provider relied on for the original purpose may not extend to the further processing of health data for scientific research purposes.
The EDPB makes clear that numerous questions could not be comprehensively answered and called for more time for "in-depth analysis and/or a search for examples and best practices". In relation to questions on further processing of previously collected health data, anonymization of data, and international cooperation the EDPB did not provide full answers and instead refers to its forthcoming guidelines on the processing of personal data for scientific research purposes.
In addition to having a legal basis under Article 6 and Article 9 of the GDPR, researchers subject to Irish data protection laws must also comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 (Section 36(2)) (Health Research) (Amendment) Regulations 2018 (S.I. No. 314/2018) (discussed here), as well as the new Data Protection Act 2018 (Section 36(2)) (Health Research) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (S.I. No. 18/2021) (the 2021 Regulations). Amongst other things, the 2021 Regulations reformulate the definition of explicit consent, introduce the concept of "deferred consent", and provide clarification on the appeals process and pre-screening. The Department of Health has produced useful guidance on the 2021 Regulations, which is available here.
The EDPB is currently developing further guidelines on the processing of personal data for scientific research purposes, which we hope will elaborate further on the above issues. The EDPB aims to publish these guidelines in the course of 2021. In the meantime, the responses provide welcome clarity on the consistent application of the GDPR to health research.

Online Security & Media Law Costs 2022 888011000 110888 The Federal government has actually published the lengthy anticipated Online Security and also Media Law Costs 2022 which it has actually hailed as a"watershed minute as we relocate from self-regulation to a period of responsibility in online safety and security ".

Just "assigned" service providers will fall within the range of the Online Security Codes, which will certainly be the key device for online security law. The possible variety of controlled provider is extremely broad– any kind of on the internet service that assists in user-generated material. Both exclusive messaging and also online storage space solutions are possibly in extent. Damaging online material "Dangerous online web content" which will certainly fall within range of online security guideline is proposed to encompass: Web content that is regarded prohibited under a variety of certain Irish criminal regulation statutes. The Expense recognizes 40 offence certain classifications which will come within extent. Particular categories of dangerous material which satisfy a particular danger threshold: online content whereby an individual harasses or degrades an additional person; on the internet content through which a person advertises or encourages practices that characterises a feeding or eating disorder; on the internet web content through which a person promotes or motivates self-harm or self-destruction; online web content through which a person provides understanding of techniques of self-harm or suicide. Online Security Codes The content of online safety and security codes will certainly not be known for a long time, as they must await for the implementation of the Expense and also the facility of the Media Commission before the process for their promulgation can start. Nonetheless, the Expense lays out specific issues which the Online Safety Codes might provide for, which gives an indicator of their anticipated content: Requirements, techniques as well as steps that provider have to adhere to consisting of in relation to the moderation of material, or how it is provided; Assessments by service providers of the availability of harmful on the internet content; The making of reports; and The handling of individual issues by company. Problems mechanisms The Media Compensation will certainly produce a system for alerts by chosen bodies concerning issues they may have in relation to particular online security matters they have understood online service providers that fall within the range of the Costs.

Israel and Palestine - Can they live in peace together?
David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister, envisaged that within two or three generations Jews returning from different lands to Israel would enjoy a common culture with shared values. The reality today is somewhat different. Many analysts fear that the gulf separating the ultra-orthodox community from secular Israelis is as great a threat to its future as the threat from the hostile nations surrounding Israel.
In 2008, historian, Meir Abelson was asked by a radio station in Miami to give a telephone interview lasting an hour to mark Israel's 60th birthday. He was given 12 questions to which he had to give concise answers.

Since the first time I talked to these two, I knew right away that they were the most relaxed, chill, carefree people and we would have a blast hanging out together. I'd been wanting to do a shoot in a lake for so long, and when I mentioned the idea to Jess & Trevor they were just totally 100% for it!
We found an area at this Lake that felt just like a private secluded beach and I photographed these two while they splashed around in the water and just hung out with each other while the sun went down behind us.
So many times during this shoot I just stood back and captured what was going on as they were being themselves and genuinely having a blast being in the presence of one another. It was such a fun dreamy WET evening and I'm so glad we did their engagement photos in the water.
Congrats you guys, so happy for you!

In 2003 the Fair Credit Reporting Act was amended to allow every consumer in the United States free access to their credit reports once every 12 months from any company that maintains it. The one legitimate website where you can claim your Federally guaranteed free credit reports is www.annualcreditreport.com. Despite the fact that we're guaranteed these free credit reports, very few of them are claimed by consumers. So the question I have is….Why are they going unclaimed?
Each of the recognized credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) maintains credit files on over 200 million consumers. There are three nationally recognized credit bureaus, so that equals 600 million credit reports that could be claimed every 12 months. According to the CDIA (The credit bureau's trade organization), only 25 million files have been claimed each year since the beginning of 2004. 25 million divided by 600 million is 4.2%, which is a small fraction of what we COULD be claiming. When you add Innovis Data Solutions to the mix the total number of credit reports we could be claiming climbs well past 600 million. Point being…that 96% figure in my title is probably too low.
1. Consumer's don't know their rights – Other than consumers who are "in the know" with respect to their credit report rights, very few consumers know about the amendment to the FCRA or the annualcreditreport.com site.
2. Confusion over where to get their free reports – Any given day you will see or hear an advertisement for free credit reports or free credit scores. Why? Credit reports and scores have become big business and the credit bureaus are profiting through aggressive marketing.
3. Do we want to see what's there? – Consumers who have bad credit generally know they have bad credit so they're avoiding their reports for fear of confirmation of the bad news. This is like not going to the doctor because you don't want to hear what he has to say.
What's really sad is that there's no evidence that the abysmal percentage of free credit reports claimed will ever increase. In fact, it will likely go down as aggressive "free" report advertising continues and the coverage of the 2003 amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act completely dies off.

Q: ASP.NET MVC - Is local time in Razor View calculated on the Client or server? This may be a stupid question, but when I write the following in my razor view in ASP.NET MVC 3 is the local time calculated on the client or the server?
@Html.LabelFor(x=>x.MyDate.ToLocalTime())

I'd imagine it is the server-side, since the view is assembled on the server before sending it back to the client, but I'm not entirely confident.
Thanks
JP

A: This is server side. Your Razor views are executed on the server, thus all DateTime.ToLocalTime() methods are evaluated on the server using the server's time zone.
If you need it to evaluate in the context of the client, then you'll need some way to allow the client to supply its time zone information, and then use the TimeZoneInfo and TimeZone classes to work with that time zone, probably using TimeZone.ToLocalTime() method.


Blog Fingerstyle guitar arrangement of "Your Mother Should Know"
Measure 1 – Use your thumb to strum down on the notes on beat one. You'll do that again on the E7 chord later in the song. This saves you from having to pinch the pair of notes with your thumb and index finger and thus have to stray from the standard finger assignment to the strings (i.e. thumb handles strings 6-4 while index, middle and ring take care of strings 3, 2, 1 respectively).
Measure 2 – Use your left hand thumb to play the root note of this F major chord.
Measure 4 – use your right hand (picking hand) index or middle finger to play that F note on the "and" of 2, not the thumb.
Measure 9 and 10 – this is a little tricky, but not impossible. You have to switch fret hand fingers on the root notes. You start off playing the root of G7 with your second finger, and then while playing the open notes switch and put your third finger down on the root note to make it easier to use the first and fourth finger to play the melody notes. If your fingers are long enough, in theory you could leave the second finger down the whole time and just really stretch between the first and second finger (this is all in reference to the fret hand). On Measure 10, you start off with your third finger on the root note, and then have to switch to the second finger. Once again, you could alternatively lay your index finger down over the fourth through first strings to cover the E bass note and the melody note, but either way is fine.

Australian Open: Lehecka 'super excited' to play Tsitsipas after beating Auger-Aliassime
Andy Cheung/Getty Images
Jiri Lehecka had not anticipated still being in the Australian Open at this point but his latest victory against a seeded player saw him advance to the quarter-finals on Sunday.
The Czech youngster produced another impressive showing to beat number six seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 4-6 6-3 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (7-3) in the fourth round.
Despite having never won a main draw match at a grand slam prior to this tournament, Lehecka has now defeated three seeds, having also dispatched of Borna Coric (21) and Cameron Norrie (11) during his passage to the last eight.
"Honestly, it feels amazing," he said after the victory. "To be in the quarters, I wouldn't believe it if somebody told me this when I was on my way over here.
"I'm super excited for everything that will come next. Of course, I'll try to do my best to recover well and to show my best tennis again in my next match."
While his Canadian opponent utilised his serve well, hitting 20 aces, it was on net points where Lehecka thrived, winning 33 of 41 while Auger-Aliassime managed just 11 of 26.
The 21-year-old has another big test next as he faces third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, having lost to the Greek in their one previous meeting in Rotterdam in February despite winning the first set.
"I'll be super excited [to face Tsitsipas]," Lehecka said. "I will go for that revenge, for sure. I know that he will remember how we played last year in Rotterdam. One set I was the better player on the court. Then he overtook the match. But I think that he will remember, and he will know what my strengths are.
"He will feel that I can get him under pressure. At the same time, I know that he's a great player. I mean, he's number four in the world.
"I know how to play against him."

GALLERY: Display of Volkswagen Karmann Ghia causes a stir outside Ely Cathedral
PALACE Green in Ely played host to more than 50 vintage vehicles over the weekend as part of an international rally.
Volkswagen Karmann Ghia from all over the Europe were in Cambridgeshire for three days for an annual gathering and showcase event.
The cars, some of which had come from as far away as the Netherlands and Germany, caused quite a stir in front of Ely Cathedral, with dozens of residents and visitors turning out to admire the collection.
Co-organiser Veronique Baker-Malone, of Haddenham, said: "The event went extremely well, it was a far bigger turnout than we have ever had before and one of the biggest gathering of Karmanns we have had in this country.
"There was a good turnout in Ely in particular and lots of interest from people. People were coming out of work to have a look."
After taking in Ely, the vehicles travelled to Histon, Impington, Cambridge and over to Bedford as part of a three-day tour.
The Karmann Ghia was in production from 1955-1974 and combined the mechanics of the Beetle and the styling of the Italian-made Ghia.

Lacewing BE is a safe, environmentally friendly, all-natural insecticide. LaceWing has undergone extensive trials to meet the needs and concerns of both hobbyists and commercial growers.
Lacewing BE kills spider mites and their eggs. It is also effective in killing thrips, fungus gnats, whitefly, and aphids. It is also gentle on plants and will not burn them, even if applied when the lights are on or in full daylight.
Lacewing BE also contains humic acid and a scientifically formulated compost tea which acts to strengthen and feed plants that are under stress when insects attack them. Many growers are reporting that their plants look healthier and stronger after using Lacewing.
Lacewing BE is a contact killer. In order to be maximally effective, complete coverage of the leaf foliage and stems of the plants is required. When plants are heavily infested, spraying Lacewing two days in a row with two days off is the most effective cycle. Repeat the cycle until the infestation is under control.
*For preventative use, Lacewing can be sprayed once a week.
