Regeneration With Purpose: Why Wirral’s Economic Future Is Gaining Real Momentum
By Warren Ward, Chair of Wirral Chamber As Chair of Wirral Chamber of Commerce I can say with confidence that the future is bright for Wirral and we should say it with confidence. Through its economic strategy, Wirral Council is focusing less on regeneration as a visual exercise and more on what really matters: creating places that support enterprise, attract investment, retain talent and generate sustainable employment. Because successful regeneration isn’t about buildings.
A cost-effective way to crank up your composite soil samples Original

Try refreshing your browser, or tap here to see other videos from our team. The most common soil sampling practice is to collect one composite sample per field. This article will describe a low-cost way to take your composite samples to a new level. An appropriate composite is based on 12-20 sub-samples or “cores” collected from the most productive areas of a field.
Why should nitrogen get all the buzz?
A successful canola crop needs a lot of nitrogen, which is why nitrogen earns A-list buzz. That same successful crop also depends on a strong supporting cast – phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and micronutrients. University of Saskatchewan researchers recently updated the nutrient uptake and removal guidelines for 14 annual crops grown in Western Canada.

Sooner or later we all face death. Will a sense of meaning help us?
‘Despite all our medical advances,’ my friend Jason used to quip, ‘the mortality rate has remained constant – one per person.’ Jason and I studied medicine together back in the 1980s. Along with everyone else in our course, we spent six long years memorising everything that could go wrong with the human body. We diligently worked our way through a textbook called Pathologic Basis of Disease that described, in detail, every single ailment that could befall a human being.
The ROI For 4R - Canola Digest
Farms have a key goal: To be profitable. When it comes to fertilizer management, the Canadian canola industry also has a goal: To see canola growers utilize 4R nutrient stewardship practices on 90 per cent of canola acres by 2025. The two goals can go hand in hand. Fertilizer Canada, in its 2021 survey of farmers, found that 4R practices are utilized on just over 50 per cent of canola acres. For farmers who have not adopted 4R practices, recent economic analysis may provide some incentive.
Check your field account balance
One sample or many? One composite sample per field can provide a general impression of soil nutrient levels. For the composite, take 15-20 cores from the most productive areas – not hill tops, not low spots, not saline areas. Divide each core by depths and put them into separate pails. Suggested depths are 0-6” and 6-24”, or a three-way split of 0-6”, 6-12” and 12-24”. Submit a separate sample for each depth.
The risk of seed-placed fertilizer on canola emergence
It’s important not to use too much. Apply just enough to give each seed equal access to starter phosphate prills or droplets, but not so much that the ammonium reduces emergence. A seed-placed rate equivalent to 20 lb./ac. of P2O5 (~40 lb./ac. of monoammonium phosphate) will balance those two objectives. This approach shows the interactions of the Right rate at the Right time in the Right place as part of 4R Nutrient Stewardship.
Risk of seed-placed fertilizer on canola emergence
Seeding might be starting a little later than normal this year.

Article content Toxicity and salt effect from fertilizer can damage canola seed and seedlings, and reduce the return on investment for seed. One way to increase canola emergence rates is to keep all fertilizer out of the seed row – except for a starter rate of phosphate.

Philosophers in love
Philosophy can sometimes be an exercise in abstract, "pure" reason, unsullied by the demands of the body or the contingencies of history. Philosophy, we're often told, should reach for transcendence, concerning itself with ideas and the pursuit of a kind of truth that exists above and beyond the messy stuff of the material world.

Use soil tests to take advantage of a challenging year
The principles of 4R nutrient management include a couple of jobs that could be done in the fall. One is soil testing – a relatively easy practice that doesn’t require a large investment. The other is fall banding of nitrogen. Some Novembers provide weather suitable for both of these jobs. Soil tests for sure. Soil analysis is useful every year, but may be especially useful this year with low and variable yields due to drought.
Letter to the editor: Gore was not driving the Indians out as were the Americans
As a land surveyor and registered Potawatomi, I hope this is helpful regarding the name Gore: The name Gore Range or Gore added to subdivisions, streets, passes, ranches, churches and businesses indicates where in our state a place is located. Any name of any feature on a map is an American endeavor for an organized society.

Knausgaard on writing
January 26, 2020 · 1:27 pm Inadvertent by Karl Ove Knausgård My rating: 5 of 5 stars This essay cuts to the heart of what writing is with the clarity of a diamond. Knausgaard talks about his failures and successes in trying to write authentically without artifice or pretension. His method involves stripping away all hindrances to capturing the truth of a moment or an experience.
Writing Tips
January 13, 2020 · 8:21 pm Letters to a Young Writer: Some Practical and Philosophical Advice by Colum McCann My rating: 5 of 5 stars Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s ‘Letters to a Young Poet’, McCann’s book contains lots of really helpful little gems for the young (and not so young) writer. The prose is fresh, honest and pleasantly surprising, and refreshingly free of tired old cliches like ‘show don’t tell’.
Knausgaard's Struggle
January 13, 2020 · 8:11 pm A Death in the Family by Karl Ove Knausgård My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’ve been looking forward to reading this for some time and it did not disappoint. Knausgaard is rigorously honest, but most if this honesty is targeted at himself and his own (often ‘unacceptable’) thoughts and feelings. He comes across as an outsider looking in on life, in the tradition of Sartre’s Roquentin in Nausea.
Read. Plot. Write.
That’s my 3-step approach to planning, structuring and writing a chapter. Or a book. Or an essay for that matter. I write narrative nonfiction: biography and cultural history. I’m often trying to capture a time in history, or a particular person’s contribution to history, so I need to research and absorb lots of disparate facts before trying to string it all together into a coherent, engaging narrative. I’ll take you through the 3 steps I’ve developed, and describe how they work for me.
Her name was Marielle Franco
I first heard about Marielle Franco in April this year. While visiting Rio de Janeiro in Brazil as a tourist with my family, I found myself in a bar late one night with an expat who had lived in the country for more than thirty years.
Writing Residencies
This year I was lucky enough to be selected for 4 writing residencies: The Vermont Studio Center in the United States, and The Can Serrat International Art Residency in Barcelona In March this year, I spent three weeks at the Arteles Creative Centre in the Finnish countryside. This was the first residency I had ever attended. Although excited and honoured to be selected (the application process is quite competitive), I was actually a little apprehensive before I left my comfortable Brisbane home.

The sunlight had magically poked through the winter aspen forest in such a way as to warm through two areas in the snow, both of them survey monuments lying about four feet apart. One was a 3 and 1/4-inch aluminum cap, stamped with the surveyor’s state license number, posted with a government-issued, yellow “Forest Service Boundary” sign. The other was a smaller aluminum cap, with gray-aged wood laths leaning over it.

Igor Kidinski, or Eager (the Kid) as he was known, started to shout “Got it!” when he saw a point on the ground. But then he saw Glutton, also known as The Old Man (Glenny Dale), already looking at a different point.
Warren H. Ward - West Plains Daily Quill: Obituaries

Retracement in the Land of the Free
Art of Retracement By Warren D. Ward, PLS “I have to walk like a moose through this stuff!” claimed Glenny Dale, known on this crew as Glutton, The Old Man, because of his old legs. He had found a game trail that gave him about eight inches of flat path. But he had to tightrope his way through this thick sagebrush and forested hillside by lifting high one knee at a time, steeply uphill: an exhausting, slow process. “You look like a moose!” giggled Igor Kidinsky, whose crew name was Eager, The Kid.
