Dear Users, We are expanding our support to include Chinese language E-mail and Website support. This was a busy week as we were busy installing a Workstation to fully support Chinese e-mail and Chinese website development. Now we are able to better support e-mail correspondence in Chinese as well as to prepare us to better translate our website into Chinese (Simplied Characters first, Traditional Characters later). One of our workstation will always be running the Chinese system so as to allow us to correspond and work on our Chinese version of the website. Apologise if our e-mail/forum response have been a little delayed this week as we install this multi-language suppo…

Dear Users, Since a recent update to the Free Element / Ba Zi element. We have made an additional improvement to that report and several other reports. 1. FREE ELEMENT / BA ZI REPORT ============================== The report will still treat all analysis a weak element. This is because the full analysis requires lots of computing power and this computing power is reserved only for our paid users who help to pay for the hosting cost. The Big Luck Period will now give the same analysis of their true element strength. However, this is still limited only to the 12 big luck periods. However, this means that this portion of the analysis should produce the same big luck reading…

I was inspired by Reader Digest's `Laughter is the Best Medicine' which I truly enjoyed since young to come up with Caricatures on Feng Shui and related subjects. As the heading says it all, ` Laughter is the Best Medicine'. In addition, a picture is said to paint a thousand words! The first images went up on 16 April 2000. Have a good laugh! Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. Drawing from Glyn's personal comments that she enjoyed them; I agree with her that these illustrations can also be considered `Greater Education' series.

Dear Users from Argentina, Subject: E-mail Address ending with .ar (Argentina) 1. Please take note that our servers have blocked the entire .ar (Argentina addresses). 2. Therefore, any user who comes from Argentina and using e-mail address e.g. abc@cde.ar or abc@xxxx.ar will not be able to participate thru the mailing list option. 3. This is because many of the ISPs (large and small) in Argentina allow their servers to open relay spams. And some of them have even forged some of our domain names. This has led to receiving forged or rejected mails - supposely from us. 4. And these ISPs are not responsive and continue to allow open relays e.g. allowing their users or third …

Dear Users, One of our new initiatives was to convert some of our fixed resources into Mandarin (Chinese) - the native roots of Chinese Geomancy. We had previously converted a few of our pages in 1999 to Mandarin (Simplied and Traditional Mandarin). But at that time, Mandarin speaking users were few. With the emergence of China, (where Geomancy was banned during the communist era); today, more Chinese are surfing the net. Many Chinese nationality have a thrist for Geomancy and have written in us to consider having simplified Mandarin. We will be converting gradually, some of our resources into Simplied Mandarin first. As our site is pretty huge, we will be converting the…

" To be or not to be a member " Perhaps, we could ask `Sherlock Holmes' or Dr. Watson? 1. Often, the question comes to our mind: 2. Many sites in the Internet `requests' that you become a member. 3. Usually, this is `required' in order for us to post a question or use the tools available in the site. 4. Many of us are apprehensive of becoming `members' of so many sites. And each of us have our various concerns:- 4.1 How am I able to remember so many login accounts and passwords? 4.2 Will my information be safe? 5. What is the rationale for becoming a `member'. 5.1 Frankly, it is not so much of becoming a `member' that is important. 5.2 The main rationale is because, onl…
