Le Paris Saint-Germain a une nouvelle fois impressionné en Ligue des champions avec sa victoire 7-2 à Leverkusen. En Europe, le parcours est parfait d'un point de vue comptable et frôle la perfection dans le contenu terrain. En championnat en revanche, le PSG de Luis Enrique semble un peu plus poussif et reste sur deux matches nuls consécutifs et une seule victoire sur les quatre dernières journées. Comment expliquer cela ? Est-ce simplement une question d'intention de la part des joueurs de Luis Enrique ? Est-ce un calcul risqué ? Pensez-vous que cela puisse être préjudiciable pour le titre de champion ? Marseille de son côté se déplace en leader à Lens. Est-ce un match piège pour les hommes de De Zerbi, quelques jours après leur défaite à Lisbonne face au Sporting ? L'OM est-il plus à l'aise dans la peau du chasseur ou du chassé ?

It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

What does it mean to be a culture-maker? John Mark explores the cultural mandate from Genesis and argues that God commands all human beings to make culture—both corporately by building civilization and individually by discovering our unique vocations. He walks through eight practical questions to help us discern our God-given identities and callings.Key Scripture Passages: Genesis 1:26-28; Acts 9:1-16; Psalm 33:15This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.
