“The essence of Shadow Work is responsibility. We explore the darker aspects of ourselves we’ve denied, suppressed or rejected and work on bringing them home. Until we own our anger, our anger owns us. Until we own our darkness, our darkness owns us. Shadow Work allows us to become more integrated with deep, radical self-acceptance.” - Sheleana Aiyana

Facebook tried to buy NSO Group's iOS spyware to monitor iPhone users



Notorious NSO Group have released court documents that show Facebook had attempted to purchase a powerful piece of spyware known as Pegasus. Using Pegasus, after a user clicked a seemingly innocuous link received through a message, the target device would be jailbroken, and malware would be loaded to monitor and steal data. The data is exported, giving users —or Facebook in this case —access to sensitive user data.

Benefits of Companion Planting

There are so many benefits of companion planting. Aside from making nutrients available to other plants (and thus making them taste better), companion planting also achieves the following :

1. Minimizes Risk
If one crop fails or is affected by harsh weather, pests or disease, the overall yield of your plot may be increased by limiting the spread. To minimize risk, you’ll want to focus on creating the best natural growth patterns and diversity in your space. Avoid large monocultures (for example, a giant plot of tomatoes in one section), and instead focus on polycultures that mimick the way plants would grow in nature.

2. Crop Protection
Companion planting can offer shelter from harsh weather (like lots of wind or too much sun) to more delicate plants. Growing delicate plants next to more heartier ones that have the foliage and strength to withstand such conditions will guarantee the growth success of your smaller plants.

3. Trap Cropping
Companion planting also offers the best organic pest management. If one crop is more susceptible to pest infestation, try planting beneficial plants next to that crop that the pests despise. This will assist in protecting the pest-vulnerable plants.

4. Positive Hosting
By planting your fruit and veggies next to plants (like certain flowers) that produce a surplus of nectar and pollen, you can increase the population of beneficial insects while helping you manage your harmful pest population
