Furthermore, our revolving credit facility contains certain other operating and financial covenants. Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our revolving credit facility may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. If our cash flow from operating activities becomes insufficient, we may be required to take certain actions, including delaying or reducing capital or other expenditures, selling properties or other assets or seeking additional debt or equity capital in an attempt to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may be unable to take any of these actions on favorable terms or in a timely manner. Further, such actions may not be sufficient to allow us to comply with the financial covenants that are included in our revolving credit facility or service our borrowing obligations in full and, in any event, may have a material adverse effect on our business. If we violate any of the restrictions, covenants, ratios or tests in our revolving credit facility, a significant portion of our indebtedness may become immediately due and payable, our lenders’ commitment to make further loans to us may terminate. We might not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments. Any subsequent replacement of our revolving credit facility or any new indebtedness could have similar or greater restrictions. Please read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Our Revolving Credit Facility.”

Consistency is one of our biggest challenges. Working in large-scale cannabis growing, you must maintain consistency and quality. To ensure this, we meticulously follow precise practices: using an irrigation and nutrients system, performing in-field daily plant inspection to detect problems and bad insects, using a formulated growth substrate, working closely with qualified cannabis laboratories to ensure the plant’s quality and using statistical analytical methods to ensure consistency and repetition.

The Malleus Malleficarum (“The Hammer of Witches”), a best-selling 1486 witch hunting manual, argued that “When a woman thinks alone she thinks evil.” If to think alone, to act in the world, to claim your body as your own is evil, it is no surprise that the witch is a politicized figure, a feminist and queer heroine. In their 1968 manifesto, the women’s liberation activists from W.I.T.C.H. (Women’s International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell) proposed that “A witch lives and laughs in every woman. She is the free part of each of us.” It is this history—from 1486 on—that explains today’s global feminist protest chant, “We are the granddaughters of all the witches you could not burn!”

Abstract: A spinal stabilization system may include a pair of structural members coupled to at least a portion of a human vertebra with connectors. Connectors may couple structural members to spinous processes. Some embodiments of a spinal stabilization system may include fasteners that couple structural members to vertebrae. In some embodiments, a spinal stabilization system, provides three points of fixation for a single vertebral level. A fastener may fixate a facet joint between adjacent vertebrae and couple a stabilization structural member to a vertebra. Connectors may couple the structural members to the spinous processes of the vertebrae. Use of a spinal stabilization system may improve the stability of a weakened or damaged portion of a spine. When used in conjunction with an implant or other device, the spinal stabilization system may immobilize vertebrae and allow for fusion of the implant or other device with vertebrae.
