BOOK TITLE: The Decisive Decade: American Grand Strategy for Triumph over China AUTHOR: Jonathan DT Ward HEADLINE: Taiwan: The 'Lock on the Island Chain' and a Key to China's Regional Dominance   China's military analysts view Taiwan as the "lock on the island chain," crucial for projecting power into the Western Pacific and throughout Asia's maritime geography. Seizing Taiwan would permanently alter Asia's military balance and enable China to exert significant power, potentially even creating famine in the Japanese islands. Taiwan also represents economic leverage due to its role in semiconductor production and holds ideological significance for Xi Jinping. 1950 PEKING STUDENTS, PLA

This Episodes Questions: Recently discovered your podcast on Spotify. Looking to upgrade from my JGAurora A5S. I'm wanting to start printing some small functional parts that will be used outdoors with ASA. Just wondering your take on the Centuri Carbon vs k1 vs P1S. All claim to print well with ASA. Looking to save money, but willing to pay a little more for a P1S if it is that much better. How does the print quality compare between these 3 machines especially for materials like ASA and are the extra features of a P1S or K1 in your opinion worth the increase in price from the elegoo? I don't mind tinkering a little bit with a cheaper machine, but I also want it to be reliable out of the box. Thanks! Jon I currently own a Bambu Labs P1S and I'm very happy with it. However, I'd like to get a second 3D printer dedicated solely to printing TPU. That way, I can keep the Bambu available for PLA and other materials. The TPU I plan to use is 85A shore hardness, and I'll mainly be printing RC crawler tire inserts. Appearance of the print isn't important—just functionality. Really enjoy the show! Thanks. Dan

China's V-Day military parade, scheduled for Sept 3 in Tian'anmen Square in Beijing, will be the first of its kind since China embarked on a new journey to advance Chinese modernization on all fronts. 中国定于 9 月 3 日在北京天安门广场举行的胜利日阅兵，将是中国踏上全面推进中国式现代化新征程以来的首次此类阅兵。 A total of 45 formations and echelons will be involved in the grand parade. During the march-past, foot formations, battle flag formations, armament columns and flag-guarding aerial echelons will pass through the square in order, while fly-pasts are conducted overhead, according to the People's Liberation Army officials presiding over a news conference on Wednesday. 据解放军官员在周三新闻发布会上介绍，此次盛大阅兵将有 45 个方（梯）队参与。分列式中，徒步方队、战旗方队、装备方队、护旗梯队将依次通过广场，空中梯队将进行飞行表演。 The parade will provide the world with a rare chance to see the achievements of the PLA's modernization endeavors in recent years, which have created a new system of services and arms. The four services are the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Rocket Force, and the four arms are the Aerospace Force, the Cyberspace Force, the Information Support Force and the Joint Logistics Support Force. 此次阅兵将为世界提供一个难得的机会，见证中国人民解放军近年来现代化建设的成果 —— 解放军已构建起全新的军兵种体系，包括陆军、海军、空军、火箭军四个军种，以及航天军、网络空间军、信息支援军、联勤保障军四个兵种。 The Army now accounts for less than 50 percent of the total active-duty personnel; noncombat units have been cut by nearly two-fourths; and the officer corps has been reduced by 30 percent — all to streamline the military and improve its combat capabilities, according to the news conference. 发布会上透露，为精简军队编制、提升作战能力，陆军现役兵力占比已降至 50% 以下，非战斗单位缩减近四分之三，军官队伍精简 30%。 With a high level of informatization and intelligence, the weapons and equipment to be displayed are expected to demonstrate the strong adaptive capability of the Chinese armed forces in response to the transformative sci-tech developments and the evolution of war forms. 受阅武器装备信息化、智能化水平高，有望展现中国军队应对科技变革与战争形态演变的强大适应能力。 The parade will not only showcase a series of new-generation armaments but, more importantly, that under the leadership of the Party, the country and the armed forces have grown stronger and have the ability to win wars. 阅兵不仅将展示一系列新一代武器装备，更重要的是，它将彰显在党的领导下，国家与军队日益强大，具备打赢战争的能力。 In 2014, the country designated Sept 3 as Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45). The parade will showcase that the great spirit of the Chinese people in that war lives on. 2014 年，中国将 9 月 3 日设立为中国人民抗日战争胜利纪念日。此次阅兵将展现中国人民在抗日战争中铸就的伟大精神代代相传。 The international community should recognize the fact that China made a major contribution to the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War by tying down and fighting the bulk of Japanese forces, and wiping out more than 1.5 million enemy troops. 国际社会应当认识到，中国在世界反法西斯战争胜利中作出了重大贡献 —— 牵制并抗击了大部分日军，歼灭日军超 150 万人。 In 1945, after 14 years of resistance, China achieved victory at a tremendous cost of 35 million military and civilian casualties, accounting for one-third of the total casualties suffered by all countries in World War II. 1945 年，经过 14 年浴血奋战，中国取得抗战胜利，为此付出了 3500 万军民伤亡的巨大代价，占二战各国总伤亡人数的三分之一。 Japan surrendered on Sept 2,1945, signing the Instrument of Surrender to China and other Allied powers. China celebrated the victory the following day. 1945 年 9 月 2 日，日本宣布投降，向中国及其他同盟国签署投降书。次日，中国庆祝抗战胜利。 China's victory in the war 80 years ago was a triumph of justice over evil, light over darkness, and progress over reaction. China was the first country to fight against fascist aggression. With huge national sacrifice, the Chinese people held their ground in the World Anti-Fascist War's main theater in the East. 80 年前的中国抗战胜利，是正义战胜邪恶、光明战胜黑暗、进步战胜反动的胜利。中国是最早抗击法西斯侵略的国家，中国人民以巨大民族牺牲，在世界反法西斯战争东方主战场坚守到底。 While demonstrating the Chinese military's strong ability to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, the parade is also a signal that the country upholds peace and will firmly defend international fairness and justice. 此次阅兵在展现中国军队捍卫国家主权、安全、发展利益强大能力的同时，也向世界传递出中国秉持和平理念、坚决捍卫国际公平正义的信号。 With the rise of the hegemony and unilateralism of some countries that seek to define the world order according to their will, the international community should stand united to jointly defend the postwar international order. 当前，部分国家霸权主义、单边主义抬头，企图按自身意志定义世界秩序，国际社会应团结起来，共同维护战后国际秩序。 A country committed to peace and stability, China will work together with peace-loving countries and people across the world to uphold and advocate the correct historical view of World War II, resolutely safeguard the postwar order, firmly defend international fairness and justice, staunchly oppose all forms of hegemonism and power politics, and jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity. 中国始终是致力于和平与稳定的国家，将与世界上所有爱好和平的国家和人民一道，坚持和弘扬正确的二战历史观，坚决维护战后秩序，坚定捍卫国际公平正义，坚决反对一切形式的霸权主义和强权政治，共同推动构建人类命运共同体。

Devynioliktame amžiuje gyvenusio lietuvių tautosakininko Antano Juškos knyga turi intriguojančią istoriją. Juška, pasišventęs gelbėti lietuvių kalbą, užsirašinėdavo žodžius, tarp jų ir dainas, suorganizavo, ko gero, pirmąjį dainų konkursą Lietuvoje. Jo dainų rinkinys išleistas spaudos draudimo laikotarpiu ir slapta atgabentas į Lietuvą vienai iš jo konkursų laimėtojų. Ta pati knyga nuskendo kartu su Titaniku, o maždaug prieš dešimtmetį iš jo iškelta. Plačiau Ieva Radzevičiūtė.

Com parlar del pregó sense saber veritablement com serà el pregó?. No sempre és fàcil, però la gent de Retrio, que d'experiència en tenen una mica, ja avança que esperen un pregó que no pugui deixar indiferent a ningú. Queda clar, ni que sigui pel que són, que la música tindrà un paper important i que el de demà, a la Plaça de l'Ajuntament, serà un dels concerts més especials: el pregó de la Festa Major de Sitges 2025. En parlem amb l'Òscar Ferret, en Joan Pinós i en Pinyu Martí. L'entrada Retrio i un pregó, com es preveu, molt musical.

China will not back down, but will instead more resolutely safeguard its national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, authorities and experts said, after the Philippines and the United States separately dispatched warships, warplanes and official vessels to intrude into the territorial waters and airspace of China's Huangyan Island within just two days.中国方面表示，不会退缩，而是会更加坚决地捍卫本国的领土主权和海洋权益。这是有关官员和专家在菲律宾和美国分别派遣军舰、战机和公务船只在短短两天内擅自闯入中国黄岩岛领海和领空之后所发表的言论。 China's Navy forces expelled a US destroyer that illegally intruded on Wednesday into China's territorial waters near Huangyan Island in the South China Sea, according to a spokesperson with the People's Liberation Army.据中国人民解放军发言人表示，周三，一艘非法闯入中国南海黄岩岛附近领海的美国驱逐舰被中国海军部队驱离。 Senior Captain He Tiecheng, a spokesperson for the naval forces of the PLA's Southern Theater Command, said in a statement that the US destroyer USS Higgins illegally entered China's territorial waters off Huangyan Island without the approval of the Chinese government. The statement was released by the PLA Navy's South Sea Fleet.中国人民解放军南部战区海军部队的高级舰长何铁成在一份声明中表示，美国“吉辛”号驱逐舰未经中国政府批准擅自进入黄岩岛附近的中国领海。该声明由中国人民解放军海军南海舰队发布。 The spokesperson said that the theater command's Navy forces organized to track, monitor, issue warnings and expel the US warship in accordance with laws and regulations.这位发言人表示，海军部队指挥部门依照法律法规组织行动，对这艘美国军舰进行了跟踪、监控、发出警告并将其驱离。 "The actions of the US military seriously infringed upon China's sovereignty and security, severely undermined peace and stability in the South China Sea and contravened international law and basic norms governing international relations," He said, adding that the naval forces of the Southern Theater Command maintain high alert at all times.他表示：“美国军方的这些行动严重侵犯了中国的主权和安全，严重破坏了南海地区的和平与稳定，并违反了国际法和国际关系的基本准则。”他还补充道，南部战区的海军部队始终处于高度戒备状态。 On Monday, the China Coast Guard expelled multiple Philippine Coast Guard vessels, government ships and so-called fishing boats from the territorial waters around Huangyan Island. Meanwhile, Philippine military aircraft also intruded into the airspace over Huangyan Island.周一，中国海警部门驱离了多艘菲律宾海警船只、政府船只以及所谓的渔船进入黄岩岛周边的领海区域。与此同时，菲律宾军用飞机也擅自闯入了黄岩岛上空的领空。 Gan Yu, spokesman for the China Coast Guard, noted that the CCG took necessary measures in accordance with the law, including monitoring and blocking, to expel the Philippine vessels. Gan emphasized that China's on-site operations were "professional, standardized and legitimate", adding that the Philippine vessels had used the pretext of supplying fishing boats, ignoring China's repeated dissuasion and warnings and insisting on intrusion.中国海警局发言人甘宇指出，中国海警局依照法律规定采取了必要的措施，包括监测和拦截，以驱离菲律宾船只。甘宇强调，中国的现场行动“专业、规范且合法”，并补充说，菲律宾船只以提供给渔船补给为借口，无视中国多次的劝阻和警告，执意闯入。 "Huangyan Island is China's inherent territory," he said. "The CCG will continue to conduct rights protection and law enforcement activities in the waters of Huangyan Island lawfully to firmly safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests."他说：“黄岩岛是中国的固有领土。中国海监局将继续依法在黄岩岛海域开展维权和执法行动，坚决捍卫国家领土主权和海洋权益。” Zhang Junshe, a former researcher at the PLA Naval Research Academy, said that the Philippines' deployment of various vessels and warplanes for intrusion indicated a "premeditated provocation". "The Philippines aims to continuously intrude into the airspace and waters here in various ways to achieve a de facto long-term presence, thereby attempting to assert its so-called sovereignty, which will surely be met with China's strong countermeasures," he said.张俊社，原海军研究院研究员表示，菲律宾部署各类舰艇和战机进行入侵行动表明这是一种“蓄意挑衅”。他说：“菲律宾旨在通过各种方式不断侵入此处的空域和海域，以实现事实上长期的占领，从而试图彰显其所谓的主权，这必将遭到中国的有力反击。” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian condemned the actions of the Philippines on Tuesday, saying that they seriously infringed on China's sovereignty and rights and interests, seriously harmed maritime peace and stability, and were of a malign nature.外交部发言人林坚周二对菲律宾的行为予以谴责，称其严重侵犯了中国的主权和权益，严重破坏了海上和平与稳定，且具有恶劣性质。 Lin emphasized that the facts have proved once again that the Philippines' deliberate infringements and provocations at sea are the root causes of the tense situation. He urged the Philippines to immediately cease its infringements and provocations.林强调，事实再次证明，菲律宾在海上蓄意的侵犯和挑衅行为是局势紧张的根源。他敦促菲律宾立即停止其此类行为。 Zhang, the researcher, said that Lin's response sent a clear warning: China will not back down but will instead take more decisive and tougher measures to safeguard its national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. "China's resolve will not be intimidated by the provocations of the Philippines and other external forces," he said, criticizing the US for its interference in the region.这位研究人员张表示，林的回应传递出了明确的信号：中国不会退缩，而是会采取更果断、更有力的措施来捍卫国家的领土主权和海洋权益。他说：“中国的决心不会因菲律宾等外部势力的挑衅而动摇。”他还批评了美国对该地区的干涉行为。 Liu Lin, a professor of international strategy at the Party School of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, noted that the Philippines also meticulously prepared video materials for propaganda to shape a hyped narrative. "The Philippines is clearly the provocateur, yet it has carefully planned and prepared various video materials each time, attempting to portray itself as a victim in the international arena to garner sympathy," she said.中共中央党校国际战略学教授刘琳指出，菲律宾也精心准备了宣传视频材料，以构建一种夸大其词的叙事。她说：“菲律宾显然是挑起事端的一方，但每次它都会精心策划并准备各种视频材料，试图在国际舞台上将自己描绘成受害者，以博取同情。” territorial sovereigntyn.领土主权/ˌterəˈtɔːriəl ˈsɒvrənti/ maritime rights and interestsn.海洋权益/ˈmærɪtaɪm raɪts ənd ˈɪntrəsts/

China's military is not a real army - it's the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party. Ideology is paramount and corruption is endemic. Plus, the People's Liberation Army hasn't fought a war since 1979. Xi Jinping calls it “the peace disease”. In episode two of this three-part series, Venetia Rainey looks at the PLA's weaknesses and how the Chinese president Xi is trying to fix them, from endless purges of top generals to a specially built training centre in Mongolia and live-fire drills around Taiwan. This series on China's military dives into the strengths and weaknesses of China's military and its remarkable transformation over the last few decades from obsolete to world-class.How significant is China's military buildup? What does Xi Jinping's ongoing purge mean for the People's Liberation Army? And how likely is an invasion of Taiwan in the next few years? As the US pivots to the Indo-Pacific and the threat of a truly global war looms, understanding the evolving role of China's military on the world stage has never been more important.Listen to episode one of this series on China's military here.

All-out disaster relief and rescue operations are underway in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province as torrential rainfall wreaked havoc in northern China since the beginning of the week, damaging roads, disrupting power and water supplies, and prompting mass evacuation.自本周初以来，中国北方地区遭遇了持续的强降雨，造成了严重的破坏，导致道路损毁、电力和供水系统中断，并引发了大规模的疏散行动。目前，北京、天津和河北省正在全力开展救灾和救援工作。As of Tuesday evening, the death toll from severe downpours in Beijing was 30, with 28 deaths reported in the city's mountainous Miyun district and two in Yanqing district, while eight more people died in Hebei, where a landslide struck Luanping county, according to local authorities.截至周二晚间，北京因强降雨造成的死亡人数已达30人，其中位于山区的密云区有28人死亡，延庆区有2人死亡，而河北省也有8人丧生，该省的滦平县发生山体滑坡事故。此数据由当地有关部门提供。The rainstorm alert in Beijing, where 80,332 people were moved to safety, was canceled on Tuesday as the rain bands weakened and shifted eastward. The city, however, remains on its highest level of flood-control emergency response.北京的暴雨警报已于周二解除，当时有80332人已被转移至安全地带。由于雨带减弱并向东移动，该警报得以取消。不过，该市仍处于最高级别的防洪应急响应状态。Vice-Premier Zhang Guoqing, who has been entrusted by President Xi Jinping to oversee relief and rescue efforts in Beijing, led relevant department officials on Monday night to Miyun, where they met and consoled affected residents and guided flood prevention and disaster relief work.周一晚上，国务院副总理被习总书记委以重任，率领相关部门官员前往密云，与受灾居民会面并给予他们安慰，同时指导了防洪和救灾工作。Zhang emphasized that during the crucial period for flood control, special attention should be paid to vulnerable groups including the elderly, the ailing, and people with disabilities, ensuring their safe relocation. It is important to scientifically manage the flow and discharge of floodwaters and make every effort to minimize disaster losses, he added.张强调，在防汛的关键时期，应特别关注老年人、患病者和残疾人群体，确保他们能够安全转移。他还指出，要科学管理洪水的流动和排放，尽一切努力减少灾害损失。The maximum rainfall across entire Beijing was registered in two Miyun towns at 543 millimeters, with nearly 17,000 residents relocated in Miyun district as of Tuesday morning, according to the Beijing municipal government.据北京市政府消息，北京全市的最大降雨量出现在密云的两个镇，达543毫米。截至周二上午，密云区已有近17000名居民被转移安置。Along a stretch of the Chaohe River in Miyun, fast-moving, muddy floodwaters submerged lower tree branches, although heavy rain had eased to a drizzle by Tuesday noon.在密云县的潮河一段河段，湍急浑浊的洪水淹没了较低处的树枝，尽管周二中午时分雨势已减弱为小雨。Gao Jianhua, a grassroots leader at the Armed Police Force Beijing Corps, was among nearly 1,000 soldiers deployed to build flood barriers near the district's Ningcunxin bridge.高建华是武警北京总队的一名基层干部，他与近1000名士兵一起被派往该地区附近的宁村新桥附近修建防洪堤。"When we started work around 8 pm on Monday, it was pouring. We could tell with our own eyes that the water level was quickly rising. The situation felt critical and urgent," Gao said, adding that they worked nonstop for 12 hours to complete the basic structure of a 1.6-kilometer-long embankment.“周一晚上8点我们开始施工时，雨势正猛。我们亲眼看到水位在迅速上涨。那种情况显得十分危急且紧迫。”高说道，并补充说他们连续工作了12个小时，才完成了1.6公里长的堤坝的基本结构。"A total of 100,000 sandbags were used, meaning that each soldier had loaded and transported about 100 sandbags throughout the process," he said, adding that reinforcement of the sandbag barrier was underway.“总共使用了10万个沙袋，这意味着每位士兵在整个过程中平均搬运和运输了约100个沙袋。”他说道，并补充说沙袋屏障的加固工作正在进行中。Meanwhile, in Tianjin, local resident Cui Chuanying carefully stepped on scattered stones across a waterlogged road, a large suitcase in one hand while with the other he guided his 10-year-old son, as they prepared to leave their village battered by heavy rains with the help of rescuers.与此同时，在天津，当地居民崔传英小心翼翼地踩着路上散落的石块，他一手提着一个大行李箱，另一只手则牵着10岁的儿子，他们正借助救援人员的帮助，准备离开被暴雨冲毁的村庄。"We arrived at a speed skating training center in the city's Jizhou district on Friday. Heavy rainfall began on Sunday evening, washing away bridges and cutting off electricity, communication and water supplies," Cui said.崔先生说：“我们于周五抵达了该市吉州区的一个速滑训练中心。周日晚上开始下起了大雨，冲毁了桥梁，还导致电力、通讯和供水中断。”About 20 children, along with their coaches and parents, were trapped at the training facility, he said. "We felt hopeless in the beginning, as all we could do was wait. When we heard this (Tuesday) morning that People's Liberation Army rescuers were coming, we were overjoyed," he said. "Now we know we are safe in their hands."他说，大约20名儿童以及他们的教练和家长被困在训练设施内。“一开始我们感到很绝望，因为我们所能做的只有等待。当周二早上听说人民解放军的救援人员要前来时，我们欣喜若狂。”他说，“现在我们知道我们的生命已交到了他们的手中，我们是安全的了。”Cui and his son were among the more than 10,500 residents evacuated from Jizhou.崔先生和他的儿子是从吉州撤离的超过10500名居民中的一员。Lu Chenyang, a PLA soldier and a member of the rescue team sent to the district, said their main tasks were evacuating residents from flooded villages and clearing roads.陆晨阳是一名解放军战士，也是被派往该地区的救援队伍成员。他表示，他们的主要任务是将洪水淹没的村庄中的居民疏散出来，并清理道路。"The biggest challenge is the severe road damage. Some sections are completely destroyed, forcing us to rely on small paths, rural trails and temporary routes we cleared ourselves (to evacuate people)," Lu said.“最大的难题在于道路遭到严重损毁。有些路段已经完全坍塌，这迫使我们只能依靠小径、乡村小道以及我们自己开辟的临时通道（用于疏散人员）。”卢说道。"Since 8 am on Tuesday, our team of 100 soldiers has relocated nearly 600 stranded residents, and we will continue restoring village access," he added.“从周二早上8点开始，我们由100名士兵组成的救援队伍已经成功转移了近600名被困居民，并且我们还将继续修复村庄的通行道路。”他补充道。As the skies cleared around Tuesday afternoon, some residents of Putaoyuan village in Beijing's Miyun district returned home to start cleaning efforts.周二下午，天空逐渐放晴，北京密云区普桃园村的一些居民纷纷返回家中，开始进行清理工作。Zhang Changqin, a 65-year-old seafood vendor, put on his rain boots and navigated piles of debris to reach his damaged truck that was overturned by floodwaters. He said he planned to repair the vehicle himself instead of filing an insurance claim, so that he could resume business as soon as possible.65岁的海鲜商张昌琴穿上雨靴，穿过堆积如山的杂物，终于找到了被洪水冲翻的受损卡车。他说自己打算自己修理车辆，而不是申请保险赔偿，这样就能尽快恢复营业了。"I have experienced earthquakes and floods in the past, but never one this severe," Zhang said. "Nevertheless, I choose to keep a positive mind. Things may look bleak now, but once we rebuild our village, I believe it would become even more beautiful than before."“我过去经历过地震和洪水，但从未遇到过如此严重的灾害。”张说道，“不过，我还是选择保持乐观的心态。眼下情况或许很糟糕，但一旦我们重建了村庄，我相信它会比以前更加美丽。”disaster relief and rescue operationsn.救灾和救援行动/dɪˈzɑːstə(r) rɪˈliːf əndˈreskjuː ˌɒpəˈreɪʃnz/mass evacuationn.大规模疏散/mæs ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃn/

Ponosna sem tudi na izjemno logistično zahteven projekt, ki sem ga postavila kot odgovorna urednica revije Bloomberg Businessweek Adria. Bilo je zanimivo, intenzivno, hvaležna sem za izkušnjo. Hvala ekipi, ki je zagnala projekt. Ekipi, ki zdaj vodi projekt, želim vse najboljše. Po 20 letih dela "za druge" enostavno čutim, da je zdaj pravi čas, da "delam za sebe". Tu ni omejitev, kaj smeš in česa ne. Ni omejitev v razpolaganju s časom, denarjem, znanjem, izkušnjami … Preprosto je svoboda. Meja je nebo. Kjer ni omejitev, ni stabilnosti in so večja tveganja. Toda, tako kot pri investiranju, kjer praviloma ni garancij, je tudi v življenju treba obvladovati tveganja. Kako? Da lahko živite, tako kot želite, je med drugim dobro imeti finančno zaledje, da ko ali če padete, pristanete na blazini. Varčujte, investirajte, bodite proaktivni. V zadnjih 20 letih sem investirala tudi do dve tretjini svoje plače oziroma dohodkov. Plača že dolgo ni moj edini vir dohodkov, pač pa le eden izmed. In ko plača ni več najbolj pomembna postavka na TRR, je to še en od signalov, ki ti kažejo, da je čas za spremembe. Velikokrat slišim: "Ko bo prišel pravi čas, za to ali ono, bom … (zamenjal službo ali partnerja, odšel na svoje, imel otroka, vzel sabatikal … )". Toda, naš čas je omejen, zakaj ga zapravljamo.

"A world where materials are in harmony with nature." Wouldn't that be amazing? I truly believe, that biophilic designers can specify this change, and also help scale innovation to make this happen.The global plastics crisis is stark: over 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced annually, with a staggering 99% being fossil-based and 91% never recycled. The plastics industry contributes 3.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to 1.8 billion tonnes of emissions. Hao Ding, Global Marketing Director at Total Energy Corbion, unveils the potential of Polylactic Acid (PLA) - a bio-based material that could help how architects and designers approach sustainability.PLA stands for Poly Lactic Acid, a bio-based plastic material made from renewable resources like sugarcane or corn. Specifically, as Hao explained in the interview, it's produced through a process of fermenting plant sugars to create lactic acid, which is then polymerised into a plastic-like material. Unlike traditional petroleum-based plastics, PLA is:- Made from renewable resources- Biodegradable- Reduces carbon footprint by up to 75%- Food contact approved- Usable in multiple applications like packaging, 3D printing, textiles, and medical packagingA key difference is that PLA starts from plants that absorb CO2 during growth, whereas conventional plastics are derived from oil pumped from underground. When composted, PLA breaks down completely without leaving persistent microplastics, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastics. PLA can reduce carbon emissions by up to 75% compared to conventional plastics. "PLA can replace most conventional plastics and offer similar performance." Architects and designers can leverage PLA in multiple applications.Design and Construction Applications:1. Furniture packaging materials2. Exhibition and conference temporary structures3. 3D printed decorative objects4. Cavity wall insulation5. Prototype and model making6. Textile and upholstery applicationsEnd-of-Life Solutions:- Mechanical recycling: Melting and repurposing PLA products- Chemical recycling: Low-temperature process breaking down materials- Composting: Complete degradation without microplastic residueI think there is an exciting potential for designers here looking for alternatives to plastics, and it is something that as artists, specifiers, designers we can ask our suppliers to look at for us. Let's help them find alternatives and help scale biobased materials that have the potential to replace plastics in our environment.Hao showcased intricate 3D-printed examples, including life-sized hands holding a bowl and a detailed dragon sculpture, demonstrating PLA's capacity for complex, nature-inspired designs.Recommendations for Architects and Designers:- Explore PLA alternatives in packaging and temporary structures- Consider PLA for decorative and functional objects- Investigate textile and upholstery applications- Prioritise end-of-life solutions in material selectionHao's parting message resonates with hope: "2030 is not far away, and we all have targets to achieve." For architects and designers committed to sustainability, PLA represents an exciting pathway to more environmentally responsible design.To find out more visit: https://totalenergies-corbion.com/biobased/ If you like this, please subscribe!Have you got a copy of the Journal?

In the 95th episode of the WGI Unleashed podcast, we're thrilled to introduce you to Darcy Nuffer, PLA, a Studio Manager on our Landscape Architecture team in Austin, Texas!  Join us as hosts Dan and Katie sit down with Darcy for a lively and thoughtful conversation that spans continents, career pivots, and sustainable design. From her roots in Michigan to her leadership in one of WGI's most creative practices, Darcy's story is anything but ordinary…. and it's packed with surprises you won't want to miss.  Early Days of Development  Growing up near Lake Michigan, Darcy spent her youth immersed in nature. Volleyball games, water skiing, campfires, and long summer days at her family's cabin instilled in her a deep appreciation for the great outdoors. This early connection with nature became a foundation for what would soon become her future career, despite landscape architecture not being her initial calling.  Darcy's first academic pursuit came in the form of writing. She dreamed of becoming a novelist, even moving to London after college on a student work visa to soak in new experiences that would fuel her creative ambitions. But it was there, while exploring Europe's rich urban landscapes, that Darcy's fascination with urban communities and the built environment began to take root.  Path Through Design and Sustainability  After relocating to Austin, Darcy worked for the City of Austin's Watershed Protection Department, where she met a landscape architect who inspired her career shift. Intrigued by the blend of ecology, design, and community, Darcy pursued a graduate degree in landscape architecture, becoming part of the inaugural class of the University of Texas at Austin's newly established program.  From there, her journey took her to San Francisco, back to Austin, through the 2008 financial crisis, and even into work on the Sustainable Sites Initiative at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Eventually, she returned to the City of Austin, stepping into the very role once held by the mentor who first introduced her to the industry that she had grown to love.  Leading with Purpose at WGI  Today, Darcy brings all of that experience and passion to WGI. As a Studio Manager, she plays a critical role in growing the firm's public landscape architecture practice, particularly through projects with the City of San Antonio. From park master planning to sustainable green infrastructure, Darcy leads with a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and design excellence.  She also plays a key role as a frequent collaborator within WGI's multidisciplinary efforts, adding landscape architecture insights to a wide range of public and private projects that enhance Civil Engineering, Buildings, and Land Development service offerings…. to name a few.  But she doesn't stop there – Darcy is also expanding WGI's sustainability offerings, including LEED and Sites certifications, and routinely consults with clients on how to integrate conservation and resilience into the built environment.  A Love for Sketching, Gardening, and Storytelling  When she's not managing major projects or mentoring fellow designers, Darcy can be found tending to her garden, working on her hand-built accessory dwelling unit in Austin, or sketching the urban landscape during WGI's lunchtime “sketch crawls.”  A self-proclaimed poetry lover and former published poet in a local Austin publication, Darcy still dreams of writing a book one day, and she even has a few ideas tucked away…. And did we mention she's a trained blacksmith? That's right – Darcy took classes at Austin Community College and still has a collection of hammers she forged herself.  Why WGI?  Darcy highlights the diversity of work, supportive team culture, and the opportunity to wear many hats as her favorite parts of being at WGI.  “No two projects are the same,” she shares, “and I love collaborating across disciplines to solve new challenges every day.”  Tune In  This episode is packed with thoughtful reflections, unexpected talents, and creative inspiration – from London pubs to leading sustainable park development across Texas and a whole lot more.  So, tune in, and as always, stay curious, stay driven, and keep unleashing your full potential!  Visit your favorite podcast app now and subscribe to WGI Unleashed to receive alerts every time a new episode drops.  You can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, or wherever you find your favorite podcasts.

James Fanell Gordon Chang THIRD HOUR 11:00-11:15 1/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by Svetlana Lokhova (Author) Format: Kindle Edition On a sunny September day in 1931, a Soviet spy walked down the gangplank of the luxury transatlantic liner SS Europa and into New York. Attracting no attention, Stanislav Shumovsky had completed his journey from Moscow to enroll at a top American university. He was concealed in a group of 65 Soviet students heading to prestigious academic institutions. But he was after far more than an excellent education. Recognizing Russia was 100 years behind the encircling capitalist powers, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had sent Shumovsky on a mission to acquire America's vital secrets to help close the USSR's yawning technology gap. The road to victory began in the classrooms and laboratories of MIT – Shumovsky's destination soon became the unwitting finishing school for elite Russian spies. The USSR first transformed itself into a military powerhouse able to confront and defeat Nazi Germany. Then in an extraordinary feat that astonished the West, in 1947 American ingenuity and innovation exfiltrated by Shumovsky made it possible to build and unveil the most advanced strategic bomber in the world. Following his lead, other MIT-trained Soviet spies helped acquire the secrets of the Manhattan Project. By 1949, Stalin's fleet of TU-4s, now equipped with atomic bombs could devastate the US on his command. Appropriately codenamed BLÉRIOT, Shumovsky was an aviation spy. Shumovsky's espionage was so successful that the USSR acquired every US aviation secret from his network of agents in factories and at top secret military research institutes. In this thrilling history, Svetlana Lokhova takes the reader on a journey through Stalin's most audacious intelligence operation. She pieces together every aspect of Shumovsky's life and character using information derived from American and Russian archives, exposing how even Shirley Temple and Franklin D. Roosevelt unwittingly advanced his schemes. 11:15-11:30 2/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by Svetlana Lokhova (Author) Format: Kindle Edition 11:30-11:45 3/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by Svetlana Lokhova (Author) Format: Kindle Edition 11:45-12:00 4/8: The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for America's Top Secrets by Svetlana Lokhova (Author) Format: Kindle Edition FOURTH HOUR 12:00-12:15 France: Heat wave and country lanes.
