histotripsy--can cure cancer a new way treatment

Histotripsy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses focused ultrasound waves to mechanically destroy unwanted tissue without surgery, needles, radiation, or heat. Unlike many other ultrasound treatments that burn tissue, histotripsy works by creating tiny bubbles (called cavitation bubbles) inside the targeted tissue. These bubbles rapidly expand and collapse, breaking the tissue apart into microscopic fragments. The body's immune system then gradually clears away the destroyed tissue over the following weeks or months. 6 What is histotripsy used for? Histotripsy is currently being used or studied for treating: Liver tumors (both primary liver cancer and cancers that have spread to the liver) Kidney tumors (under investigation) Prostate enlargement (research) Some blood clots Other solid tumors in clinical trials One of the first FDA-authorized uses was for destroying liver tumors. Advantages ✅ No surgical incision ✅ No ionizing radiation ✅ No needles ✅ Usually preserves nearby healthy tissue ✅ Often performed as an outpatient procedure ✅ Shorter recovery than traditional surgery Limitations Not every tumor is suitable. The tumor must be visible with imaging and reachable by the ultrasound beam. Some tumors are too large or are located too close to sensitive structures. It is currently available only at selected medical centers. Is it painful? Patients are typically under general anesthesia during the procedure, so they do not feel pain while it is being performed. Recovery is generally much quicker than after open surgery. How effective is it? Early clinical studies have shown promising results, especially for liver tumors. In many patients, doctors have been able to destroy the targeted tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding liver tissue. Researchers are continuing to study its long-term effectiveness and its use for additional types of cancer. How is it different from traditional ultrasound? Histotripsy Conventional focused ultrasound Breaks tissue mechanically Destroys tissue by heating it Uses cavitation bubbles Uses thermal energy No burning of tissue Creates high temperatures Highly precise Also precise, but heat can spread slightly If you're asking because of a specific medical condition—such as liver cancer, kidney cancer, or another tumor—I can also explain whether histotripsy might be an option in that situation. translate it into Chinese Histotripsy（组织碎化超声治疗） 是一种无创医疗技术，利用高强度聚焦超声（Focused Ultrasound），不用开刀、不开针、不用放射线，也不是靠高温烧灼，而是通过超声波将目标组织机械性粉碎。 与传统利用高温烧毁组织的超声治疗不同，Histotripsy 的原理是利用超声波在目标组织内产生大量微小的空化气泡（cavitation bubbles，空泡）。这些气泡会在极短时间内迅速形成、膨胀和塌陷，产生强大的机械力量，将组织击碎成极细小的碎片。随后，这些碎片会被人体的免疫系统逐渐吸收和清除。 Histotripsy 可以治疗哪些疾病？ 目前已经应用或正在研究的疾病包括： 肝脏肿瘤（包括原发性肝癌和肝转移瘤） 肾脏肿瘤（临床研究中） 前列腺增生（研究中） 某些血栓 其他实体肿瘤（临床试验中） 目前，Histotripsy 最成熟、最广泛应用的是肝肿瘤治疗。 Histotripsy 的优点 ✅ 无需开刀 ✅ 无需穿刺或打针 ✅ 无放射线（没有辐射） ✅ 不依赖高温，因此对周围正常组织损伤较小 ✅ 很多患者当天或短时间内即可回家 ✅ 恢复时间通常比传统手术快 Histotripsy 的局限性 并非所有肿瘤都适合使用。 肿瘤必须能够通过影像清楚定位，并且超声波能够到达。 肿瘤过大或位置紧邻重要血管、胆管等关键结构时，可能不适合。 目前只有部分大型医疗中心提供这项治疗。 治疗过程中会痛吗？ 通常患者会接受全身麻醉，因此治疗过程中不会感觉疼痛。治疗结束后，恢复通常比传统开腹手术快得多。 Histotripsy 的效果如何？ 目前临床研究结果显示，Histotripsy 在治疗肝肿瘤方面具有良好的前景。许多患者的肿瘤能够被精准破坏，同时尽可能保留周围正常肝组织。不过，医学界仍在继续研究其长期疗效以及在更多癌症中的应用。 Histotripsy 与传统聚焦超声（HIFU）的区别 Histotripsy（组织碎化超声） 传统聚焦超声（HIFU） 利用机械力粉碎组织 利用高温烧毁组织 依靠空化气泡作用 依靠热能作用 不会烧灼组织 会产生高温 对目标组织定位精准 也很精准，但热量可能扩散到周围组织 简单来说： 传统 HIFU： 像用火把肿瘤「烧死」。 Histotripsy： 像利用无数微小气泡把肿瘤「震碎、打碎」，然后让身体慢慢把碎片清除掉。 由于 Histotripsy 不依赖高温，因此有望减少对周围正常组织的热损伤，是近年来肿瘤治疗领域一项非常有前景的新技术。

new treatment of cancer--histotripsy

A revolutionary new cancer treatment called Histotripsy is showing incredible promise by literally liquefying tumors using focused sound waves—no surgery, no chemo, and no radiation needed. Developed by pioneers Dr. Zhen Xu and the late Dr. Charles Cain at the University of Michigan, this FDA-approved technology is now being used at leading hospitals like Johns Hopkins and the Cleveland Clinic. How it works: - A robotic arm delivers precise high-intensity ultrasound waves straight to the tumor. - These waves create tiny gas bubbles inside cancer cells that rapidly expand and collapse. - The mechanical force destroys the tumor cells, turning the mass into liquid debris that the body naturally clears away. - It also appears to stimulate the immune system to better recognize and attack remaining cancer cells. - Because it relies on mechanical disruption rather than heat or radiation, it spares healthy surrounding tissue. Patients often undergo the quick outpatient procedure and go home the same day. It is currently treating liver tumors, with trials expanding to kidney and brain cancers. This could be a game-changer in the fight against cancer. See less

8/7/ pRAMA, SPIRITUAL LEVEL IS VERY LOW. pRA: Spiritual level is very low. TAKE 100 YEARS, still the same. When i came to the United States, i never seen any samahdhii. When I came to the I came to the United States, I had never seen anything like that before.after 50 60 years, their level remain in the beginnng. Only experience more and more, many many sadmadhi, then you can say you know Him. Anisha and Tussita they don't want to be in DC, when i was there. They would leave DC HAWhen I was there, they would leave DC HALL They thought that Ganesha was willing to be with them in .D.C? Who wants to be with them? They are demons. The people want to be with them they are the same. Same kind of demons. If you like to be with them. Be my guest. then, don't be with me. i don't want to be with you. Most ordinary citizens in the West are not aware what your leaders, what your diplomats are trying to do in trying to preserve Western control of the world. And often using methods and principles that in theory go against western principles. For example. You believe in meritocracy? You believe that if anyone should be chosen to run an organization, it should be the best possible person. Doesn't matter whether it's white, black or Asian or African. Doesn't matter if it's the best person, we take it, right? Now, two of the world’s most impostant international economic organizations are the IMF and the Wold Bank. In theory, they serve the world. So anybody in the world should qualify to run the IMF and the World Bank. Even now, to become the head of the IMF, you must be a European. Become the head of the World Bank, you must be an American. And 88% of the world's population don't qualify to run the world's institution. That is so unwise. So unwise. These are supposed to be global institutions. Why do you insist that only Westerners can run it? Why do you say only 12% of the work and run the world's institutions? Clearly, these are decisions made by your leaders. And all of these decisions will come to haunt you as the world changes now. here in Prama, Lesbian and Homosexual is normal. Ganesha, this kind of saint is abnamal. The main difference compare to other placce. You know why? Because Ganesha is a Chinese. My neighbor is white. Prama is the headquarter of racism. Katuah is the core of Prama. To those margii, Chinese margii is too strong, too high to understand. Too high to believe. So they don't believe Ganesha is that high enough they could and it. Ganesha said he can read BaBa's mind. They don't believe it. Ganesha said he is the king of the vibration. They don't believe it. Why? A oerson can read BaBA's mind. this level is too high. They can not believe it. Ganesha is a Chinese. He knows more than Hiramaya, Anisha and Tusiita. But The Katuah HOA didn't want Ganesha to be the president of kATUAH HOA. Hiranmaya played a trick to become a President again instead of Ganesha. Even Ganesha wanted volunteer to serve the Katuah HOA. Two days ago, Micah tried to test Ganesha know his mind. Ganesha aksed him that he has second lesson yet. He said he did. then, i told him since he came in the house until now, he havnt ever performed the second lesson. 8/5 If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, it is said that you are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva who has returned to fulfill a great vow and that you are destined to accomplish great things in this lifetime. Rudranii and I both have ring fingers that are longer than our index fingers. Two days ago, Micah asked me, "What do you think about suffering?" BaBa once told me that I had committed to coming into this world with Him to do His work. That is why I have been suffering since I was born. Even today, my suffering has never ended. Now, I believe that my wife and I are being bullied because of racism within this Prama community. 無名指若長過食指，是來兌現大願的轉世菩薩，命中註定要成大事 8/2/2026 here just like West Virginia., 穷山恶水之地， 不会出精英， These margii don't know how to do meditation, they only want to become a family acarya.

That's why P.R.Sakar never want to come to America. When BaBA shouted workers and margiis is normal. He hardly shouted at margii but not in Taiwan. We all experienced His shouting. An Indian acarya told me American margii could not take crash. You crash them, they leave. 6/30/2026 在灵性上他爬得太高了，高到没有人能够构得著。 Ganesha's sin is that he has reached such a high level of spiritual attainment that no one can match or reach him. Nirmala was diagnosed with cancer several years ago. She decided to return to her homeland in Taiwan in the hope of recovering from her illness. Why did Nirmala return to Taiwan at the end of her life? Because she was not happy living in America. When BaBa came to Taiwan in 1978, He invited me to visit Him in India during an evening field walk. He said to me, "This time I have come to see you. Later, you should come to India to visit me." Why didn't BaBa want to come to America? Years ago, Ganesha had a crash with Anisha. Without first discussing the matter with Ganesha or giving him an opportunity to explain his side of the crash, Visha Mitra and Ramesha acted after receiving a telephone call from Anisha. Based solely on that communication, they made a decision and sent Ganesha an email directing that he was not permitted to attend any Katuah HOA meetings because of his crash with Anisha. Ganesha responded by requesting the legal or governing authority for their decision. Specifically, he asked them to identify the law, bylaw, covenant, policy, or other rule that authorized them to prohibit him from attending HOA meetings. 6/27 plant some bak choi seed 为什么巴巴不要到美国？ 就是因为美国白玛琪， 高傲， 自大，偏激， 忌妒，太粗钝了，所以派我来，我来了，就是给他们看看，灵性高的人是高在那里，让他们有个瞭解， 不然他们还不知道自己是多么地幼稚。 5/23 plant bitter gourd 5/22 plant potato in the big box, plant cucumber to replace where the bean is sage, oagono, times, rosemary, basil, basil and rosemary are good for mosquito, sage is good for tomato, Several herbs are well known for helping repel mosquitoes naturally: Citronella — one of the most famous mosquito-repelling plants; often used in candles and oils. Lavender — mosquitoes dislike its scent, while many people find it pleasant. Basil — especially lemon basil and cinnamon basil can help deter mosquitoes. Mint — peppermint and spearmint may repel mosquitoes and other insects. Rosemary — good around patios; the smell becomes stronger when leaves are crushed or burned lightly. Lemongrass — contains citronella compounds naturally. Catnip — some studies found it can repel mosquitoes effectively. Marigold — often planted near vegetables to discourage insects. 5/7 here in prama, many people didn't know how to sit properly to do meditation. Do you know that I use my third eye to see BaBa’s mudra? i thoght i would share my experience with people when it was BaBa's birthday, but i don't think they like it. i gave up. They thought i was alone. I don't feel i'm alone. or i feel lonely. do you know the meridian is different from the nadi and cakras? do you know the achievement of all the lessons we have learned? Like we want to go to Delaware sirport? we know we need to take bus 56. so bus no 56 will take you to your target. You spend the money and time. You take the bus and the bus take you to the Delewar airport. in the same way, where you want to go to come to Ananda Marga? Curious? or you have a purpose? power? fame? name? and money? i see many people like power and fameAnd fame.they like to control people, margii, and so, they want to be an acarya. but they fail to be an acarya, they go on the road. they are controlling people. they have power. sometimes, they feel no fun. they thought they don't want to be an acarya. they want something else. they want to have different experience, so they fail on acaryship. they become an ex. then they become an ex, they still want power, fame, name and money. so come to Prama, you see these kind of people, they kind of ex. 5/6 fix 106 problem. able did it. just the facut head replace it the shower works, but leaks, washer not good, we replace a new one, bot the part from ACE. 5/5 他用生命跟低灵交换灵力。低灵控治了他。大家应引以为戒。台湾最多人搞这个， 特别是算命的，中国懂这个的不多。连佛光山的星云都是，显出他们都有些灵力。 “When I listen to their Baba’s stories, I can tell what level they are at.

Acaryas make correct statements when they follow what Baba said. However, they often make mistakes when they try to elaborate on or integrate Baba’s philosophy is into their own personal experience. Vimanananda gave three times Shastra. Three times, I corrected his viewpoint when he developed Baba's lesson and integrated it with his spiritual experience." Didi Hitaeshna reminded this verse in Ananda Sutra. Hita Esana, I’m supprised when she told me she is no longer with Ranqi. Later I found out she may have crash with Vimananda. Again, This evil dada. Always do something very bad under his power. Dada I.K. same thing. He crashed out dada I.K. dada I.K. had to move out from New York Jagrti. Then, they sold New York Jagrti and got a million dollar. Sent the money to India. Ranqi bought a small house for Jagrti instead. Really, evil man doing evil things. Today, among the American presidential candidates, there are no candidates whom I find suitable." One is elderly and aging, and the other is considered unconventional and unpredictable.

how to harvest sweet potato

Harvesting sweet potatoes is easy if you know when and how to dig them. 1. Know when they're ready Sweet potatoes are usually ready 90–120 days after planting, depending on the variety. Signs they're ready: The leaves begin to turn yellow or the vines start to die back. The roots are a good size (typically 3–6 inches long). Harvest before the first frost, as frost can damage the roots. Since you're in western North Carolina and it's now August 1, if you planted them in early July, they will most likely be ready in October. 2. Stop watering About 7–10 days before harvesting, stop watering. This helps the skins toughen up. 3. Dig carefully Cut the vines back if they're in the way. Use a garden fork or shovel, starting about 12 inches (30 cm) away from the main stem. Loosen the soil gently and lift the entire plant. Pull the sweet potatoes out by hand. Be careful not to stab or cut the tubers. Damaged sweet potatoes don't store well. 4. Don't wash them Brush off loose soil, but don't wash them immediately. Water can encourage rot during storage. 5. Cure them Curing improves sweetness and helps them last longer. Temperature: 80–85°F (27–29°C) Humidity: 85–90% Time: 7–10 days A warm room, garage, or porch with good ventilation often works well. 6. Store them After curing: Store at 55–60°F (13–16°C). Keep them in a dark, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not refrigerate, as cold temperatures can damage their texture and flavor. Properly cured sweet potatoes can keep for 4–8 months. A tip for checking early If you're unsure whether they're ready, carefully dig up one plant first. If the sweet potatoes are still small, cover A tip for checking early If you're unsure whether they're ready, carefully dig up one plant first. If the sweet potatoes are still small, cover the rest back up and let them grow another couple of weeks. when will be the first frost on the east coast? i'm living in nc. The first frost varies quite a bit depending on where you are in North Carolina because of the mountains, foothills, and coastal plain. Since you said you live in Marshall, North Carolina (near Asheville), here are the typical first frost dates: Marshall / Asheville area (mountains): October 10–25 Foothills (Hickory, Morganton): October 20–November 5 Piedmont (Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh): Late October to mid-November Coastal Plain (Wilmington, New Bern): Mid-November to early December Outer Banks: Often late November to December, and some years there is no frost until much later. For Marshall, NC, it's safest to expect your first frost around mid-October. Some years it can come as early as the beginning of October or as late as early November. This is important for your sweet potatoes: Plan to harvest them before the first frost, ideally in early to mid-October. Even a light frost can damage the vines, and a hard frost can reduce the storage quality of the roots if they're left in the ground. If you'd like, I can also give you: the average first frost date specifically for Marshall, NC, the first freeze date (32°F / 0°C), and a month-by-month vegetable planting and harvest calendar for your area. Sweet potato leaves are edible and very nutritious. They are commonly eaten in China (地瓜叶), Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia, and many African countries. How to harvest sweet potato leaves Wait until the vines are established. Harvest after the vines are about 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) long and growing vigorously. Cut the tender vine tips. Use clean scissors or pruning shears. Cut the top 4–8 inches (10–20 cm) of the vine. Include the young leaves and tender stem. Leave enough leaves on the plant. Don't remove more than 20–30% of the foliage at one time. The remaining leaves continue making food for the sweet potatoes underground. Harvest regularly. You can harvest every 1–2 weeks during the growing season. Regular picking encourages the plant to produce more side shoots and more tender leaves. Which leaves are best? ✅ Young, bright green leaves and tender stems. ❌ Avoid large, tough, older leaves, which can be fibrous. Before cooking Rinse the leaves well. Remove any tough lower stems. Cook by stir-frying with garlic, adding to soup, or blanching briefly before seasoning. If you're growing sweet potatoes mainly for the roots Harvest leaves lightly. Removing too many leaves can reduce the size of the sweet potatoes because the leaves provide the energy that fills out the tubers. Since you're growing sweet potatoes in North Carolina, you can continue harvesting the leaves until the weather cools in the fall, then stop a few weeks before you plan to harvest the roots so the plant can focus on enlarging the sweet potatoes. the rest back up and let them grow another couple of weeks.

the difference between purslane and potulaca

You can plant purslane safely — you just need to put it in the right place, because your wife isn’t wrong: purslane spreads fast, and if you plant it right next to your shrubs, it will creep into them. Where to plant purslane? Short answer: Plant purslane in open, sunny areas with clear borders, not directly inside or right against existing bushes. Use spots where you can easily control its spread. 🌿 Where purslane won’t invade your bushes Along garden edges — driveways, walkways, patio borders. It stays low and you can trim it easily. In containers or raised beds — zero risk of invasion. In a dedicated sunny patch — purslane loves heat and poor soil, so even a dry corner works. Between widely spaced plants — only if you’re willing to pull runners that wander too far. 🌱 Where you should NOT plant purslane Right under shrubs or bushes It will spread into the root zone and become annoying to remove. Next to slow‑growing ornamentals Purslane grows faster and can outcompete them. Anywhere you don’t want a groundcover Purslane is a champion spreader. 🌼 How to keep purslane contained Mulch around your bushes — purslane hates thick mulch. Create a physical border — bricks, stones, edging. Harvest often — the more you pick, the less it spreads. Pull runners early — they come out easily. 👍 Best practical placement for you Since you already have bushes your wife is worried about, the safest choice is: A sunny, open spot away from the shrubs — or a container. Purslane thrives even in poor soil, so you don’t need a fancy setup. What’s the actual difference? 1. Botanical identity Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) Edible, widely used as a leafy vegetable. Small yellow flowers. Smooth, fleshy oval leaves. Grows like a low, spreading weed. Very hardy and drought-tolerant. Produces many viable seeds. Portulaca / Moss Rose (Portulaca grandiflora) Ornamental, not edible. Bright, rose-like flowers in many colors. Thin, needle-like leaves. Grown in containers or flower beds. Often sterile hybrids. 2. Why people confuse them They share: The same genus (Portulaca). Succulent leaves. A love for heat and sun. Garden centers often mislabel them, which adds to the confusion. 🧭 Quick way to tell them apart Leaf shape: Purslane → flat, oval, fleshy Portulaca → thin, needle-like Flower type: Purslane → small yellow Portulaca → large, colorful, rose-like Edibility: Purslane → edible Portulaca → ornamental only If your question is about edibility, the answer matters: Only purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is safe and nutritious to eat. Portulaca grandiflora is not edible. If you want, you can send me a photo and I’ll identify which one you have. Chinese use portulaca as a medicine Chinese herbal medicine does use Portulaca — but specifically Portulaca oleracea, which is purslane, not the ornamental moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora). So when Chinese medicine mentions “马齿苋 (mǎ chǐ xiàn),” they are talking about purslane, the edible species. 🌿 In Chinese medicine: Portulaca = 马齿苋 = Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) What it’s used for In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), 马齿苋 is considered: Cold in nature Sour in flavor Enters the Large Intestine and Stomach meridians Common uses Clears heat and toxins Treats dysentery and diarrhea Helps with skin infections (boils, eczema) Used for urinary tract infections Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties Forms used Fresh herb Dried herb Decoctions (boiled tea) External washes for skin issues 🌸 Important distinction TCM uses only Portulaca oleracea Not the ornamental Portulaca grandiflora (moss rose). The two plants look different and have different chemical profiles. 🧭 Quick ID for the medicinal one (马齿苋) Leaves: flat, oval, smooth Flowers: tiny yellow Growth: low, spreading weed Edible: yes If you want, you can show me a photo and I’ll confirm whether yours is the medicinal purslane or the ornamental portulaca. what is tcm? TCM = Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s the traditional medical system practiced in China for thousands of years. It uses a very different framework from Western medicine — focusing on balance, energy flow, and the body as an interconnected system. 🌿 What TCM includes Herbal medicine (like purslane 马齿苋, astragalus 黄芪, ginseng 人参) Acupuncture Cupping Moxibustion (burning mugwort near the skin) Tui Na (Chinese medical massage) Dietary therapy Qi Gong / Tai Chi (movement practices for health) 🧭 How TCM views the body TCM uses concepts such as: Qi (vital energy) Yin and Yang (balance of opposing forces) Meridians (energy pathways) Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) Illness is seen as an imbalance or blockage in these systems. 🌱 Why purslane is used in TCM Purslane (Portulaca oleracea, 马齿苋) is considered: Cold in nature Sour in flavor Good for clearing heat, detoxifying, and reducing inflammation It’s used for: Diarrhea / dysentery Skin infections Urinary infections Heat-related conditions

An Indian acarya told me American margii could not take crash. You crash them, they leave. 6/30/2026 在灵性上他爬得太高了，高到没有人能够构得著。 Ganesha's sin is that he has reached such a high level of spiritual attainment that no one can match or reach him. Nirmala was diagnosed with cancer several years ago. She decided to return to her homeland in Taiwan in the hope of recovering from her illness. Why did Nirmala return to Taiwan at the end of her life? Because she was not happy living in America. When BaBa came to Taiwan in 1978, He invited me to visit Him in India during an evening field walk. He said to me, "This time I have come to see you. Later, you should come to India to visit me." Why didn't BaBa want to come to America? Years ago, Ganesha had a crash with Anisha. Without first discussing the matter with Ganesha or giving him an opportunity to explain his side of the crash, Visha Mitra and Ramesha acted after receiving a telephone call from Anisha. Based solely on that communication, they made a decision and sent Ganesha an email directing that he was not permitted to attend any Katuah HOA meetings because of his crash with Anisha. Ganesha responded by requesting the legal or governing authority for their decision. Specifically, he asked them to identify the law, bylaw, covenant, policy, or other rule that authorized them to prohibit him from attending HOA meetings. 6/27 plant some bak choi seed 为什么巴巴不要到美国？ 就是因为美国白玛琪， 高傲， 自大，偏激， 忌妒，太粗钝了，所以派我来，我来了，就是给他们看看，灵性高的人是高在那里，让他们有个瞭解， 不然他们还不知道自己是多么地幼稚。 5/23 plant bitter gourd 5/22 plant potato in the big box, plant cucumber to replace where the bean is sage, oagono, times, rosemary, basil, basil and rosemary are good for mosquito, sage is good for tomato, Several herbs are well known for helping repel mosquitoes naturally: Citronella — one of the most famous mosquito-repelling plants; often used in candles and oils.

Zuccini found Stink bug use soapy water

1. Hand-pick them (best for a small garden) Go out in the early morning or late evening when the bugs move more slowly. Knock them into a bucket of soapy water (1–2 tablespoons of dish soap per gallon of water). Wear gloves because stink bugs release a strong odor when disturbed. 2. Remove the eggs Check the undersides of the leaves for clusters of eggs. They may be light green, bronze, or copper-colored, depending on the species. Scrape them off with your fingernail or a piece of tape and drop them into soapy water. 3. Use insecticidal soap Spray insecticidal soap directly on young bugs (nymphs). It is less effective on adult stink bugs because their shells are hard. Spray in the early morning or evening. Avoid spraying during the hottest part of the day. 4. Neem oil Neem oil can help reduce young stink bugs and other garden pests. Spray every 7–10 days if needed. Follow the label directions carefully. 5. Keep the garden clean Remove weeds and old plant debris where bugs hide. Harvest zucchini regularly. At the end of the season, remove old zucchini plants so bugs have fewer places to overwinter. Is it a stink bug or a squash bug? Many people confuse these two insects. Squash bugs are much more damaging to zucchini, pumpkins, and squash than true stink bugs. If you can upload a close-up photo of the bug (or describe its color and shape), I can tell you which one it is and recommend the best treatment. can soapy water kill stink bug? Yes, soapy water can kill stink bugs, but it works best if the bugs are submerged in the water. Simply spraying them lightly with soapy water often doesn't kill adult stink bugs because they have a hard, protective outer shell. Here's how to use it effectively: Fill a bucket or jar with water. Add about 1–2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap per gallon (3.8 liters) of water. Knock or shake the stink bugs into the bucket. Leave them submerged for several minutes. They will die. Will spraying soapy water on zucchini work? Young stink bugs (nymphs): It may kill them if you spray them directly. Adult stink bugs: Usually not very effective. Hand-picking them into soapy water works much better. Is it safe for zucchini plants? A mild soap solution is generally safe if used occasionally, but: Spray in the early morning or evening, not in hot midday sun. Don't use too much soap, as high concentrations can damage leaves. If you use dish soap, test it on one or two leaves first and wait 24 hours to make sure it doesn't cause leaf burn. An insecticidal soap made for plants is even safer. If the bugs on your zucchini are actually squash bugs (which are commonly mistaken for stink bugs), I can also show you the best way to eliminate them, since the treatment is a little different. when will be the end of the season? Since you're in western North Carolina (Marshall/Asheville area), the zucchini growing season usually ends with the first hard frost. Here is the typical timeline: July–August: Peak zucchini production. September: Plants usually keep producing, although yields may begin to slow. October: Production declines as nights get cooler. Late October to early November: The first frost usually kills zucchini plants. This is generally considered the end of the season. Zucchini is a warm-season annual and cannot survive frost. Even a light frost (around 32°F / 0°C) can severely damage or kill the plants. Before the season ends Continue harvesting zucchini every 1–3 days. Frequent picking encourages the plant to produce more fruit. Remove badly damaged or diseased leaves. Keep watching for squash bugs and stink bugs, as their numbers often increase toward the end of summer. Once frost kills the plants, pull them out and dispose of them rather than leaving them in the garden, since pests can overwinter in the plant debris. If you're asking because you're wondering how much longer your zucchini will produce this year, you can usually expect another 2–3 months of harvest from late July, provided the plants stay healthy and the weather remains favorable.

崔孝一

一个连中文都不会说的朝鲜人，竟然为了明朝的皇帝绝食饿死在了崇祯的灵前。这不是一个虚构的故事，它的名字在我国的史料里面几乎已经被忘记了。但在朝鲜，它被尊为千古异事。非常详细的记录了他的一生，他的名字叫崔校一，大明的军队在万历年间的时候，在朝鲜的土地上和倭寇血战七年，所以当后来清军杀入到中原的时候，那个屠城掠地的时候，很多人依然把大明当作是灯塔，以及道义的象征。于是崔孝一就做了一件极其悲壮的事情，他长途跋涉渡海归民，从山东一路向北，成为山海关守将吴三桂手下的一名军官。他英勇善战，立过很多军功。那个时候有一批像他那样的朝鲜意识，在异国的土地上，为了守护心中最后的那一片华夏正统。但大明最终还是没了。1644年3月19日，崇祯皇帝在眉山自缢，消息一传到边关去。史书记载，全军披麻戴孝，哭声震动整个荒野，所以崔孝一在这一片哭声当中，做了一件非常壮烈的事。天子殉国，他这个外邦将士手里的刀，突然不知道应该往哪里挥了。紧接着，更大的冲击来了。他的领导吴三桂投降了，引清兵入开。如果是你这一刻，你会选择什么？是不是跟着自己的领导吃香的喝辣的了。崔孝一选择了所有人都想不到的第三条路。他没有回去，也没有投降，独自一人到了崇祯皇帝的陵墓，日夜跪在灵前，不食不饮。只是痛哭故国的恩义哭信仰的崩塌哭那个跨海而来，却没有始终守住的那个江山。绝食17日之后，他死在了异国的土地上，一个朝鲜人在异国的土地上，为了一个从未谋过面的皇帝殉葬了自己。我们在感叹崔孝一的悲壮，你也会想象大明当时有多么的好。如果没有大明朝当时跟倭寇的死战，在朝鲜这片土地上守护朝鲜，帮助朝鲜，哪有崔孝一后来感念大明的恩情。它殉的是什么？它殉的是君王吗？它殉的是明朝吗？它殉的是一份不被磨灭的那个骨气，我们应该记住它，它的墓碑不在厚重史册的险要处，却在我们每个人的心中。在滚滚的历史长河当中，我们不应该忘记这一段如此悲壮的历史。 A Korean man who couldn't even speak Chinese starved himself to death in front of the spirit shrine of the Ming emperor Chongzhen. It sounds unbelievable, but this is not a fictional story. His name has been almost forgotten in Chinese historical records, yet in Korea he is remembered as an extraordinary figure. Korean historical accounts record his life in remarkable detail. His name was Choi Hyo-il (Cui Xiaoyi). During the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty, Ming armies fought the Japanese invaders on Korean soil for seven long years. Later, when the Qing armies swept into China, conquering cities and seizing territory, many Koreans still regarded the Ming dynasty as a beacon of civilization and a symbol of righteousness. Inspired by this belief, Choi Hyo-il made an extraordinary decision. He crossed the sea to China, traveled from Shandong all the way north, and eventually became an officer under the command of Wu Sangui, the general guarding Shanhai Pass. He fought bravely in battle and earned many military honors. Choi was not alone. There were other Koreans like him who fought on foreign soil to defend what they believed was the last legitimate Chinese civilization represented by the Ming dynasty. But in the end, the Ming dynasty fell. On March 19, 1644, the Chongzhen Emperor hanged himself on Meishan (Coal Hill) after Beijing fell. When news reached the frontier, historical records say that the entire army dressed in mourning clothes, and their cries echoed across the wilderness. Amid this sea of grief, Choi Hyo-il made a tragic decision. With the emperor dead, this foreign-born officer suddenly no longer knew where to point his sword. Then came an even greater shock. His commander, Wu Sangui, surrendered and opened Shanhai Pass to the Qing army. If you had been in his position, what would you have chosen? Would you have followed your commander and accepted the rewards that came with surrender? Choi chose a third path—one that almost no one could have imagined. He neither returned to Korea nor surrendered to the Qing. Instead, he went alone to the tomb of the Chongzhen Emperor. There he knelt day and night before the emperor's spirit shrine, refusing both food and water. He wept for the fallen nation that had shown kindness to Korea, for the collapse of the ideals he believed in, and for the empire he had crossed the sea to defend but could not save. After 17 days of total fasting, he died on foreign soil. A Korean, in a foreign land, sacrificed his own life in mourning for an emperor he had never even met. As we reflect on Choi Hyo-il's tragic devotion, we may also wonder what kind of nation the Ming dynasty must have been to inspire such loyalty. Had the Ming armies not fought desperately against the Japanese invaders to defend Korea, had they not protected and assisted the Korean people, there might never have been a Choi Hyo-il who felt such profound gratitude toward the Ming. What, then, did he truly die for? Was it merely for an emperor? Was it simply for the Ming dynasty? No. He died for an unbreakable sense of honor, loyalty, and moral conviction. We should remember him. His memorial is not found only in the dusty pages of history, but also in the hearts of those who remember such unwavering devotion. As the great river of history continues to flow, this profoundly tragic chapter should never be forgotten.

when and what to plant in Marshall

Since you live in Marshall, NC (USDA Hardiness Zone 7a) and your average first frost is around October 13, here's a planting calendar for the rest of the year. Month What to Plant July Sow beans, cucumbers, carrots, beets, Swiss chard, and another crop of basil. Start broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale indoors for fall. August Plant carrots, beets, kale, collards, mustard greens, turnips, lettuce, spinach (late August), radishes, and bok choy. Transplant broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower into the garden. September Continue sowing lettuce, spinach, arugula, radishes, cilantro, and Asian greens. Plant more kale and mustard greens. October Harvest warm-season crops before frost. Continue planting garlic, spinach, lettuce (under row covers), radishes, and winter onions. November Plant garlic until the ground freezes. Mulch garlic and perennial herbs. Harvest kale, collards, spinach, carrots, and turnips. December–February Plan next year's garden. Start onion seeds indoors in January if growing from seed. March Plant peas, potatoes, onions, spinach, lettuce, carrots, beets, radishes, and turnips. April Plant broccoli, cabbage, kale, and other cool-season crops. Wait to plant tomatoes and peppers outdoors. Early May After the last expected frost (around May 1–10), transplant tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, basil, cucumbers, squash, beans, and other warm-season vegetables. Crops that do especially well in Marshall Cool season: Spinach, kale, lettuce, Swiss chard, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, beets, peas, radishes, garlic, onions. Warm season: Tomatoes, peppers, beans, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, basil, Malabar spinach, bitter melon. Since I know you grow Malabar spinach It is very frost-sensitive. Harvest it until the first frost in October. Before frost, you can save seeds from mature berries or take stem cuttings to root indoors for next year. A tip for fall spinach For Marshall, the best time to sow spinach is late August through mid-September. Spinach germinates best when soil temperatures are below 85°F (29°C), so if the weather is still hot, keep the soil moist or provide a little afternoon shade to improve germination. With your climate in Marshall, you can harvest fresh vegetables from March through December, and with row covers or a cold frame, you may even be able to harvest spinach and kale throughout much of the winter. Meteorological summer Meteorologists define summer as: June 1 – August 31 So, by this definition, summer ends on August 31 every year. Astronomical summer Astronomically, summer ends at the autumnal equinox, which usually falls on September 22 or 23. In 2026, the autumnal equinox is on September 23, so summer officially ends then. For gardening in Marshall, NC In terms of weather, Marshall often stays quite warm into September. Typical conditions are: July: Highs around 85–87°F (29–31°C) August: Highs around 84–86°F (29–30°C) September: Highs around 77–80°F (25–27°C), with cooler nights (around 55–60°F / 13–16°C). For gardeners, the intense heat usually begins to ease in late August, making it an excellent time to plant fall crops such as: Spinach Lettuce Kale Broccoli Cabbage Carrots Radishes Even though the weather becomes cooler in September, you can still expect about 3–5 weeks before the average first frost around October 13. That gives many cool-season vegetables plenty of time to establish before colder weather arrives.

how to prune levander

为了让 薰衣草（Lavender） 健康生长并开出更多花，最好 每年修剪一到两次。 什么时候修剪 花谢后（最佳时间）： 夏末或初秋，当大部分花朵凋谢后进行修剪。 春季轻剪： 当新的嫩芽开始生长时，剪掉冬天冻伤或枯死的枝条。 如何修剪 剪掉所有残花花梗。 将绿色枝叶修剪约三分之一， 保持植株 圆润、紧凑的形状。 不要剪到没有叶子的老木质枝条。 薰衣草通常 不会从光秃秃的老木头重新发芽。 把植株修剪成圆丘状， 这样可以防止植株老化后 中间裂开或变空。 如果薰衣草已经长得很杂乱 如果木质枝条附近还有绿色新芽， 可以修剪到 绿色新芽上方一点的位置。 如果植株大部分都是光秃的木质枝条， 只要 轻微修剪。 不要大幅剪进已经枯老的木头里，否则可能会把植株剪死。 让薰衣草长得更好的小技巧 充足阳光： 每天至少 6–8小时日照。 排水良好的土壤： 薰衣草 最怕根部长时间潮湿。 浇水方式： 植株长稳后，少浇但浇透。 少施肥： 肥料过多会让叶子长得很多，但花会变少。 如果你种的是英国薰衣草（English Lavender）或其他品种，修剪方法基本相同。 如果你告诉我具体是哪一种薰衣草，或者发一张照片，我可以给你更详细的修剪建议。

Japan occupied Taiwan for 50 years. During that period, approximately 630,000 Taiwanese were killed by Japanese. When Japan surrendered unconditionally at the end of World War II, about 100,000 Japanese soldiers remained in Taiwan. Many Japanese women did not want these soldiers to return to Japan. They believed the soldiers should have died on the battlefield or taken their own lives rather than surrender. As a result, some of these soldiers settled in different parts of Taiwan, particularly in the south. Over time, they married local women and had children. In recent years, some people have argued that the descendants of these Japanese settlers have become a significant social and political force in Taiwan. According to this view, they support the idea of Taiwan becoming independent.

中国的伟大

英国侵略中国三次，英国胜. 法国侵略中国两次, 法国胜. 德国侵略中国一次，德国胜. 沙俄侵略中国一次，沙俄胜. 日本侵略中国三次。日本胜. 两次胜一次败。中国在清朝民国的时候被其他国家随意践踏抢掠了好几次，结果还要反过来向他们赔偿。当时的老百姓可谓是生活在水深火热当中。当时清政府外交官谭锦镛在旧金山遭美国警察侮辱，不堪受辱的他, 最终选择自尽，正可谓弱国之下屈辱。鸦片战争之后，英国少校大肆宣扬这是一个不敢打仗的只会赔钱的富有大国。但朝鲜战争后，彭德怀元帅带着志愿军以一国之力打的欧美联军节节败退，用彪悍战绩告诉全世界西方列强出几千人拿几门山炮, 就能在中国的土地上横冲直撞的历史一去不复返了。新中国成立之前，除了抗日战争以外，所有的侵略战争，中国一次都没有赢过。然而，当新中国成立以后，英国认为中国仍旧是软柿子，再次意图侵略中国。这一次英国皇家海军被胖揍，紫石英号军舰被打得抱头鼠窜，我们建国还不到一年。就敢和老美以及他的小弟在朝鲜死磕。建国还不到十年，手里还没掌握核武器的时候，就敢和拥有核武器的苏联翻脸掀桌。建国才13年，拿着轻武器就敢揍印度，打出印度六十年的梦魇，后来让印度不得不将首都改为新德里。新中国成立以后，中国一次也没有输过。咱们享受着平安富足的生活，要时刻记得是谁给我们带来的这一切的背后，都是无数英雄抛头颅洒热血，牺牲自己换来的。1949年开国大典时，我们因飞机不够要掉头飞两遍，周总理说，飞机不够，我们就飞两遍。到如今，我们已经拥有了歼二零飞机编队。1993年老美关闭GPS，导致中国的银河号货轮被困海上33天。第二年，美国再次毫无理由地宣布拒绝我国加入国际空间站。1996年没有GPS的我们导弹全部发射失败。2003年，我们申请加入欧盟伽利略导航系统，真金白银的掏了两亿欧元，最终遭到了欧盟的戏耍。2011年NASA宣布，欧美所有航天项目禁止中国参与，甚至声称空间站里不能有中国人，就在欧美塔脖子和层层的技术封锁之下，我们的英雄儿女愣是只用了短短的十几年就完成了飞天遁地入海奔月四件大事，嫦娥五号带着土壤返回了地球，美国为了研究数据。只好腆着大脸求我们主动分享。欧洲宇航员为了进入咱们的天宫太空站，竟然主动学起了中文，就是一个机会，中国航天员和欧洲航天员在中国一起训练。2015年美国一份机密文件曝光，上面写着在上世纪五十年代。他们曾计划用870枚核弹摧毁我国。

Years ago, Ganesha had a crash with Anisha. Without first discussing the matter with Ganesha or giving him an opportunity to explain his side of the crash, Visha Mitra and Ramesha acted after receiving a telephone call from Anisha. Based solely on that communication, they made a decision and sent Ganesha an email directing that he was not permitted to attend any Katuah HOA meetings because of his crash with Anisha. Ganesha responded by requesting the legal or governing authority for their decision. Specifically, he asked them to identify the law, bylaw, covenant, policy, or other rule that authorized them to prohibit him from attending HOA meetings. There are too many ex in Prama. It means too many losers in here. Those loser made this Prama became a racist headquarter. All the Ex are losers. Exes are losers.

What’s wrong with India? India lost the war to Pakistan. How many fighter jets did it lose? Six. The Indian pilots reportedly hadn't even seen their enemy before they were shot down. Modi told the whole country to celebrate the victory for ten days—a ten-day holiday. The whole world knows that India lost the war; only the Indian people don't seem to know it. They built a tank, but the tank can't run properly. They built a submarine, but the submarine can't even dive underwater. Their aircraft carrier took twenty years to build and was still only half finished. Yet they put the carrier into the water and took pictures of it.

Do Your Best, but Don't Force What Cannot Be Forced

In this life, there are simply too many things beyond our control. Everyone carries their own burdens, like hidden currents beneath the surface that never find words. Every situation comes with its own helplessness, like a ferry waiting endlessly for an arrival that never comes. Since nothing in life can be perfect, don't keep your brow furrowed in worry. Do your best, but don't force what cannot be forced. Act according to your abilities, and live by the seasons of your own life. Be a little gentler with yourself, and let the wind carry your tears away. Be a little less concerned with being right all the time, and allow yourself to stop looking back. When has life ever been flawless? Who isn't stumbling forward while trying to save themselves along the way? Don't cling to yesterday's regrets and refuse to let go. Don't spend sleepless nights guarding tomorrow's worries. Don't chase after someone else's shadow and forget your own path. Don't trap yourself in dreams of perfection until your hair turns gray.

Amish Garden

The idea that Amish gardens have “no weeds” is a bit exaggerated, but many Amish gardeners are very good at weed control because they use old-fashioned intensive gardening methods consistently and early. Their gardens often look very clean because they combine several techniques together. Here are the main methods commonly associated with Amish-style gardening: 1. Heavy Mulching This is probably the biggest secret. They cover bare soil with: straw hay dried leaves grass clippings shredded bark newspaper/cardboard under mulch Mulch blocks sunlight so weed seeds cannot germinate. For vegetable rows, straw mulch is especially common. Example of straw mulch in vegetable gardens 7 Benefits: fewer weeds keeps soil moist cooler roots in summer less watering improves soil over time 2. Hoeing Tiny Weeds Early Amish gardeners usually do not wait until weeds get large. They often: hoe every few days remove weeds when they are tiny “thread stage” seedlings cultivate shallowly after rain A sharp stirrup hoe or wheel hoe can clear a large garden quickly. Traditional wheel hoes and hand cultivation 6 The key: Small weeds are easy. Big weeds become a battle. 3. Close Plant Spacing Once crops grow large enough, their leaves shade the soil. This reduces weed growth naturally. Common examples: dense beans squash spreading over soil potatoes hilled closely lettuce planted thickly 4. Deep Rich Soil Healthy soil helps crops grow faster than weeds. Many Amish families use: composted manure animal bedding compost piles crop rotation Strong plants shade weeds sooner. Compost-rich traditional gardens 6 5. Never Leave Soil Bare Bare ground invites weeds. After harvesting, they may: plant cover crops add mulch sow fall rye or clover This prevents weed seeds from taking over. 6. Consistent Daily Attention A major difference is discipline. Many Amish gardeners: walk through gardens daily remove a few weeds immediately never let weeds seed A 10-minute daily habit prevents huge weed problems later. Practical “Amish-style” Weed Control Plan for Home Gardens If you want similar results: Put down cardboard/newspaper first Add 3–6 inches of straw mulch Water deeply but less often Hoe tiny weeds once a week Never leave empty soil exposed Add compost every season You can reduce weeds by 80–90% without chemicals. One Important Thing Even Amish gardens still have weeds. The difference is: they prevent weeds early they stay consistent they use mulch heavily they cultivate often 以下是阿米什式园艺最常见的除草秘诀： 1、厚覆盖（Mulching） 这可能是最大的秘诀。 他们会在土壤表面覆盖： 稻草 干草 落叶 割下来的草 树皮碎屑 报纸或纸板（下面垫一层） 覆盖物能阻挡阳光，让杂草种子无法发芽。 在蔬菜行之间，最常见的是铺稻草。 稻草覆盖的菜园 6 好处： 杂草明显减少 保持土壤湿润 夏天降低根部温度 减少浇水次数 长期改善土壤 2、杂草小时就锄掉 阿米什人通常不会等杂草长大。 他们经常： 每隔几天就锄草一次 在杂草还是小芽阶段时就清除 下雨后浅浅松土除草 一把锋利的锄头或手推除草轮，就能很快清理大片菜地。 传统锄草工具 6 关键在于： 小杂草很容易处理，大杂草就会变成战争。 3、密植 蔬菜长大后，叶子会把地面遮住。 阳光照不到土壤，杂草自然就少了。 例如： 密种豆类 南瓜藤铺满地面 土豆高培土 生菜种得比较密 4、肥沃深厚的土壤 好的土壤能让蔬菜长得比杂草更快。 很多阿米什家庭会使用： 堆肥 发酵后的动物粪肥 动物垫草堆肥 轮作制度 作物长得强壮，就能更快遮盖土地，压制杂草。 富含堆肥的传统菜园 7 5、永远不要让土地裸露 裸露的土地最容易长杂草。 收获以后，他们通常会： 种覆盖作物 再铺覆盖物 播种黑麦或三叶草 这样杂草种子就不容易占领土地。 6、天天管理 最大的不同之一，就是“勤快”。 很多阿米什人会： 每天巡视菜园 看到一点杂草马上拔掉 绝不让杂草结种子 每天花10分钟，后面就不会变成大工程。 如果你想做“阿米什式”无草菜园，可以这样做： 先铺纸板或报纸 上面覆盖 3–6 英寸厚的稻草 深浇水，但减少浇水次数 每周锄一次小草 不要让土地空着 每季加入堆肥 这样通常能减少 80–90% 的杂草，而且不需要化学除草剂。 有一点很重要 其实阿米什人的菜园也有杂草。 区别在于： 他们在杂草很小时就处理 长期坚持 大量覆盖 经常松土除草 所以整个季节看起来几乎像“没有杂草”。 How to Keep Cardboard from Moving 1. Wet the Ground First Before laying cardboard: water the soil lightly damp soil helps cardboard stick better Then wet the cardboard after placing it. Wet cardboard becomes heavy and stays flatter. 2. Overlap the Pieces Do not place cardboard edge-to-edge. Overlap each piece by about: 4–6 inches Otherwise weeds grow through cracks. Example of overlapping cardboard sheet mulching 6 3. Put Mulch on Top Immediately This is the real secret. As soon as cardboard is down: cover it with straw leaves wood chips compost Usually 3–6 inches thick. The mulch weight holds the cardboard in place. If you wait too long before mulching, wind will move it. 4. Use Rocks, Bricks, or Boards Temporarily While working: place rocks on corners use bricks put wood boards across edges After mulch is added, you can remove them. Using weights to hold cardboard 6 Important Tips Remove Tape and Glossy Parts Avoid: plastic tape shiny printed cardboard wax-coated cardboard Best cardboard: plain brown boxes shipping boxes appliance boxes Use Thick Layers for Bad Weed Areas For strong weeds: use 2 layers of cardboard Especially for: grass crabgrass invasive weeds Punch Holes for Plants For tomatoes, peppers, squash: cut an X shape plant through the opening The cardboard slowly decomposes naturally. A Very Easy Method Many people do this: mow grass very short put cardboard directly over grass soak with water cover with 4–6 inches straw or wood chips wait 2–4 weeks plant into it This kills most grass and weeds without digging. One More Trick from Experienced Gardeners Do the work: after rain OR early morning when air is damp Dry windy afternoons are the worst time to lay cardboard. So the garden looks nearly weed-free most of the season.

Who is Evil?

Mayadish studied the history of England. While studying English history, he came to the conclusion that “China is evil.” If China is evil, that would mean that Chinese people are evil. It is an interesting conclusion. What was the logic behind it? I do not know. But the conclusion itself is important: that Chinese people are evil. BaBa said in Supreme Command, “Without Yama and Niyama, Sadhana is an impossibility.” This means that if a person does not follow Yama and Niyama, they cannot properly practice meditation. According to that logic, Chinese people should not be able to meditate. However, when BaBa visited China in 1978. He said that the best meditators were from China. So, is Mayadish evil, or are the Chinese evil? I believe Mayadish has not been able to practice meditation properly for many years already.

To understand the American character, we all know this is an empire that cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in its eyes. Back then, the Soviet Union merely flexed a little muscle and was dragged into a Cold War that ultimately destroyed it. Japan only bought a few major buildings in the United States, and then came the Plaza Accord, which broke its backbone. The European Union had just begun issuing the euro to challenge the U.S. dollar, and war erupted right on its doorstep. America’s methods for taking down the number-two power are practically written into textbooks — a pirate instinct carved into the genes of the Anglo-Saxons.

Lavender

Hey plant lovers, Welcome back to Plantillee. Today we're talking about lavender and specifically about the handful of things I learned that completely transformed how mind grows because for years I was making mistakes with lavender that I didn't even know were mistakes. And I'm willing to bet you're making at least two of them right now. Lavender is one of those plants that seems like it should be easy. It grows wild across the Mediterranean. It survives on rocky hillsides with almost no soil and no irrigation. It thrives in conditions that would kill most garden plants. So when you bring one home, stick it in a nice pot with good soil. Water it regularly and give it a comfortable spot on your porch. You expect it to do great, and then it doesn't. The leaves go gray, the stems get woody and bare at the base, the flowers are sparse or nonexistent, and within a year or two, the plant looks like it's given up on life. The problem isn't that lavender is hard to grow. The problem is that almost everything we instinctively do to take care of a plant is the opposite of what lavender wants. And once you understand why, once you stop treating lavender like a regular house plant and start treating it like what it actually is, a Mediterranean drought survivor that thrives on neglect and stress, everything changes, the growth changes, the fragrance changes, the blooming changes. Before we get into it. Hit subscribe if you want real, practical plant knowledge every week. Plantillee is for people who want their plants to actually thrive, not just survive. Let me start with the single most important thing I learned, because this one detail fixed more problems than everything else combined. Lavender does not want rich soil. It wants poor, fast draining, almost gravelly soil. This goes against every instinct most plant owners have. When we buy a new plant, we give it the best potting mix we can find. Rich, dark, moisture-retaining, full of organic matter. And for most plants, that works. But for lavender? The rich soil is a death sentence in slow motion. Here's why. Lavender evolved on limestone hillsides and rocky coastal slopes around the Mediterranean Sea in southern France, Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey. The soil in those environments is shallow, alkaline, mineral-rich but nutrient-poor, and drained so fast that water passes through within minutes of a rainstorm. The roots are never sitting in moisture. They're in a well-aerated, almost gritty medium that dries out quickly and completely between rains. When you put lavender and standard potting mix, which is designed to hold moisture, the roots stay wet for too long. Lavender roots are extremely susceptible to fungal root rot. They didn't evolve to handle persistent moisture. In the wild, they deal with brief, intense rainstorms followed by days or weeks of dry heat. Constant dampness around the roots creates conditions for fungi that the plant has no defense against. The roots decay, nutrient uptake fails, the foliage grays out, and the plant slowly dies from the ground up while you keep watering it, making the problem worse with every well-intentioned drink. The fix is simple and immediate. Mix your potting soil with at least 30 to 50% perlite, coarse sand, or fine gravel. Some lavender growers go even further using a mix that's 70% mineral material and only 30% organic potting mix. In the ground, heavy clay or rich garden soil with sand and gravel before planting. If your soil doesn't drain fast enough that water runs through it visibly within seconds of pouring, it's too heavy for lavender. This single change, switching from moisture retentive soil to fast draining gritty mix will fix more lavender problems than any other adjustment you can make. The plant will respond within weeks, roots will recover, new growth will be firmer and more aromatic, and the woody bear stem problem that kills most lavender plants starts at the root level, literally, with soil that stays too wet. The second revelation was about watering, and it connects directly to the soil issue. Lavender needs dramatically less water than most people give it. Once established, A lavender plant in the ground in most of the United States needs supplemental watering only during extended dry spells, and even then, a deep soak once every two to three weeks is enough. In a pot, water only when the soil is completely dry, not just. surface dry, but dry 2 to 3 inches down. Stick your finger in. If there's any moisture at all, wait! Over watering lavender doesn't just cause root rot. It also reduces the concentration of essential oils in the leaves and flowers, which is what gives lavender its fragrance. Research on lavender oil production and commercial farming confirms this. Plants grown under mild drought stress consistently produce higher concentrations of linalool and linalyl acetate, the two primary aromatic compounds in lavender oil then plants that receive regular irrigation. The plant produces more fragrance when it's slightly thirsty. Comfort makes it lazy. Stress makes it aromatic. 嘿，植物爱好者们，欢迎回到 Plantillee。今天我们来聊聊薰衣草，特别是那些我后来才学会、却彻底改变我种植方式的关键经验。因为很多年来，我一直在犯一些错误，而且我根本不知道那是错误。我敢打赌，你现在至少也犯了其中两个。 薰衣草是一种看起来应该很容易种植的植物。它在地中海地区野生生长，在几乎没有土壤、没有灌溉的岩石山坡上也能存活。它甚至能在大多数园艺植物都会死亡的环境里茁壮成长。所以，当你把它买回家，种进一个漂亮的花盆里，放上优质土壤，定期浇水，再给它一个舒适的门廊位置时，你自然会以为它会长得很好——结果却不是。叶子开始发灰，枝干变得木质化，底部光秃秃的，花开得很少甚至不开花，不到一两年，这株植物看起来就像放弃了生命一样。问题不在于薰衣草难种，而是在于：我们本能地对植物做的大多数“照顾”，其实刚好和薰衣草真正想要的完全相反。而一旦你明白原因，一旦你不再把薰衣草当成普通室内植物，而开始把它当成它真正的样子——一种来自地中海、靠干旱与贫瘠环境生存、甚至喜欢“被忽略”和承受压力的植物——一切都会改变。它的生长会改变，香气会改变，开花情况也会改变。 在开始之前，如果你想每周都获得真实、实用的植物知识，记得订阅。Plantillee 是为那些希望植物真正“茁壮成长”，而不仅仅是“勉强活着”的人而存在的。 先让我讲我学到的最重要的一件事，因为这一点解决的问题，比其他所有因素加起来还多：薰衣草不喜欢肥沃的土壤。它喜欢贫瘠、排水极快、几乎像砂石一样的土壤。这和大多数植物爱好者的直觉完全相反。我们买新植物时，总会想给它最好的培养土：肥沃、深色、保水性强、富含有机质。对于大多数植物来说，这确实有效。但对薰衣草来说？这种肥沃土壤，等于是慢性的死亡判决。原因如下：薰衣草原本生长在地中海沿岸的石灰岩山坡和岩石海岸上，例如法国南部、西班牙、意大利、希腊和土耳其等地。那些地方的土壤通常很浅、偏碱性、富含矿物质但营养贫乏，而且排水速度极快——雨一下，几分钟内水就流光了。它的根从来不会长时间泡在湿气里。它们生长在一种通风良好、几乎带颗粒感的介质中，两场降雨之间会迅速而彻底地干燥。当你把薰衣草种进普通培养土时——而这种土本来就是为了“保水”设计的——根部就会湿太久。薰衣草的根特别容易感染真菌性烂根病，因为它们从来没有演化出应对持续潮湿环境的能力。在野外，它们面对的是短暂猛烈的大雨，然后是连续数天甚至数周的干热天气。如果根部长时间潮湿，就会形成真菌滋生的条件，而薰衣草对此几乎没有防御能力。根开始腐烂，营养吸收失败，叶片发灰，而你还在不断浇水——每一次“好心”的浇水，其实都在让问题变得更严重。解决方法其实非常简单，而且见效很快：在培养土里至少加入 30% 到 50% 的珍珠岩、粗砂或细碎石。有些专业薰衣草种植者甚至会使用 70% 矿物材料、只有 30% 有机培养土的混合介质。如果是地栽，就要在种植前往厚重黏土或肥沃园土中混入砂石和碎砾。如果你的土壤排水不够快，浇水后不能在几秒钟内明显流走，那它对薰衣草来说就太重了。仅仅这一项改变——从“保水土”改成“快速排水的颗粒土”——就能解决大多数薰衣草的问题，比任何其他调整都更有效。植物会在几周内开始恢复。根系恢复健康，新长出的枝叶会更结实、更香，而那种最终害死大多数薰衣草的“木质化光秃枝干”问题，其实从根本上来说，就是因为土壤太湿。第二个让我彻底改观的认知，是关于浇水的，而且它和土壤问题直接相关：薰衣草需要的水，远比大多数人给它的少得多。一旦定植成功，在美国大多数地区，种在地里的薰衣草只有在长期干旱时才需要额外浇水。即便如此，每两到三周深度浇透一次就已经足够。如果种在盆里，则只在土壤完全干透时才浇水。不是表面干，而是往下 2 到 3 英寸都干了才行。把手指插进去检查。如果还有任何湿气，就继续等。给薰衣草浇水过多，不只是会导致烂根。它还会降低叶子和花朵中精油的浓度，而这些精油正是薰衣草香气的来源。关于薰衣草精油生产与商业种植的研究已经证实：在轻度干旱压力下生长的薰衣草，其所含的芳樟醇（linalool）和乙酸芳樟酯（linalyl acetate）——也就是薰衣草香味的两种主要芳香成分——浓度明显高于那些经常灌溉的植株。薰衣草在“稍微缺水”的时候，反而会更香。太舒适，会让它变懒。适度的压力，才会让它释放香气。 This is why lavender grows in Provence. 500. Smells more intensely than lavender grown in a well-watered American garden. It's not the variety, it's the growing conditions. Hot, dry, nutrient-poor, wind-exposed, and neglected by any standard normal plant care. And the lavender responds by producing the most concentrated, fragrant oils it can. The stress is the signal. The fragrance is the response. The third revelation was about pruning, and this is the one that prevents the number one cosmetic problem with lavender, the woody, leggy, bare-stemmed look that makes older plants look like they're dying even when they're technically alive. Lavender grows on a woody base. Every year, the lower portions of the stems harden into wood while new soft green growth emerges from the top. If you never prune, the plant grows taller and taller on an increasingly woody skeleton. The base becomes bare. The green growth retreats to the tips. The plant looks like a stick with a small tuft of leaves at the top. It's still alive, but it's ugly, and it blooms less every year. Here's the critical rule that changed everything for me. Never cut into the woody part of the stem. Lavender cannot regenerate from old wood. If you cut a stem below the point where green growth exists, that stem will never produce new growth again. It's dead. This is the opposite of most shrubs, which can be hard pruned to the ground and come back. Lavender can't do that. Once wood is wood, it's done. The correct technique is to prune into the soft green growth only; about 1/3 of the way down from the top, shaping the plant into a rounded mound. Do this twice a year. Once in early spring after the last frost when you can see new green growth emerging, and once in late summer after the main bloom is finished. Each pruning stimulates branching, which keeps the plant dense, compact and full of the green growth that produces both leaves and flowers. If you start this from the plant's first year, you'll maintain a tight, rounded, heavily flowering bush for 10 to 15 years. 正确的修剪方法，是只修剪到柔软的绿色新生枝条部分；大约从植株顶部往下修剪三分之一的位置，同时把整株修剪成圆拱形。一年要修剪两次。在早春霜冻过后,进行一次（修剪）第二次是在夏末、主要花期结束之后进行。每一次修剪都会刺激植株分枝，这能让薰衣草保持浓密、紧凑，并持续拥有大量绿色新枝，而这些绿色枝条正是长叶子和开花的关键。如果从植株第一年开始就这样修剪，你就能在未来 10 到 15 年里，一直维持一株紧实、圆润、花量丰富的薰衣草灌木。 If you've neglected pruning for several years and the plant is already woody and bare at the base. You can sometimes rescue it with a gradual renovation. Cut back 1/3 of the oldest stems each year over three years, allowing new growth to slowly replace the woody skeleton. But not every plant recovers from this. Prevention is far easier than rescue. The 4th revelation was about sunlight, and this one is straightforward but worth emphasizing. Because it's the second most common reason lavender doesn't bloom. Lavender needs a minimum of six hours of direct sun per day. Not bright indirect light, not morning sun with afternoon shade. Direct, full unfiltered sunlight for six hours minimum, 8 hours, ideal. In the Mediterranean, lavender grows on open south-facing hillsides where there's zero shade from dawn to dusk. When you place lavender on a north-facing porch, under a tree canopy, or in a spot that only gets a few hours of morning light, you're depriving it of the energy it needs to produce flowers. The plant might survive in partial shade, but it won't bloom well, and the growth will be laggy and weak as it stretches toward whatever light it can find. 如果你已经好几年没有修剪，而植株底部已经变得木质化、光秃秃的，有时候仍然可以通过“渐进式更新修剪”来挽救它。方法是：连续三年，每年剪掉最老枝条的三分之一，让新的绿色枝条慢慢取代那些木质化的老枝骨架。不过，并不是每一株都能恢复。预防，远比事后抢救容易得多。 第四个让我彻底改观的认知，是关于阳光的。这一点其实很简单，但非常值得特别强调，因为这是薰衣草不开花的第二大常见原因。薰衣草每天至少需要六小时的直射阳光。不是明亮的散射光，也不是只有上午晒太阳、下午阴凉的环境。而是真正直接、完整、无遮挡的阳光，每天至少六小时。理想情况则是八小时。在地中海地区，薰衣草生长在朝南、完全开阔的山坡上，从日出到日落几乎没有任何遮阴。如果你把薰衣草放在朝北的门廊下、树荫底下，或者一天只晒得到几小时晨光的位置，你其实是在剥夺它制造花朵所需的能量。薰衣草在半阴环境里或许还能活着，但它不会开得好。而且植株会因为拼命朝有光的方向伸展，长得细长、松散而虚弱。 If you're growing 805 Wing lavender indoors, it needs the brightest window you have, ideally S facing, and even then supplemental grow lighting during winter makes a significant difference. Indoor lavender is challenging precisely because most homes can't provide the light intensity this plant evolved for. It's not impossible. But it requires the sunniest spot in your home and realistic expectations about bloom quantity compared to outdoor plants. The 5th revelation was about fertilizer, and this one is simple. Don't ! Lavender needs almost no fertilizer in its native environment. It grows in nutritionally poor soil and thrives because of it, not despite it. High nitrogen fertilizers cause lavender to produce soft, floppy, leggy growth. With reduced oil content and fewer flowers, the plant grows bigger but weaker, more susceptible to disease, and less fragrant. If you feel compelled to fertilize, use a light application of a low-nitrogen, higher potassium formula once in early spring. But honestly, most lavender performs better with no fertilizer at all, especially if it's planted in amended soil with some mineral content. The plant finds what it needs. It's been doing that on rocky Mediterranean hillsides for thousands of years without anyone helping. The 6th revelation was about air flow, and this is one that indoor growers and container gardeners. Often missed entirely, lavender needs excellent air circulation around its foliage and especially around its base. In the wild, it grows on exposed hillsides where wind moves constantly through the plants. That wind does two things it keeps humidity low around the leaves, preventing fungal diseases, and it dries the soil surface quickly after rain. Protecting the roots In a still humid indoor environment or in a crowded garden bed where plants are packed too close together, moisture lingers on the leaves and around the crown. That's an invitation for grey mold, powdery mildew, and crown rot. Space your lavender plants at least two to three feet apart outdoors. Indoors, place them where air moves. Near a window that opens, or use a small fan to create gentle circulation. Now let me talk about varieties, because choosing the right lavender for your climate is something most people get wrong, and it's a mistake you can't fix with better care. English lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, is the classic variety and the heartiest. It survives winters and zones. 5 through 9 produce the most intensely fragrant flowers and are the types used in essential oil production. If you live anywhere in the continental United States except the Deep South or extreme desert southwest, English lavender is your best bet. Popular cultivars include Hid Coat, which has deep purple flowers on compact plants and. Instead, which is slightly shorter and excellent for borders and containers, French lavender Lavandula dentata has serrated leaves and blooms almost continuously in mild climates, but can't handle cold winters. It's ideal for zones 8 through 11, which means coastal California, the Gulf Coast, and the low elevation SW. It's beautiful, but it won't survive a Northeast or Midwest winter outdoors. Spanish lavender, Lavandula stokas, is the showiest variety, with distinctive rabbit ear petals on top of the flower heads. It's also a warm climate, only zones 7 through 10, and it's the most sensitive to humidity if you live in the humid Southeast. Spanish lavender will struggle even if temperatures are warm enough. Lavandin, Lavandula X intermedia, is a hybrid between English lavender and spike lavender. It produces the largest plants, the most flowers, and the highest oil yield. Province Grosso and Phenomenal are popular cultivars. Lavandin. Is more heat-tolerant than English lavender and is the variety you see in those iconic purple fields across southern France. If you want the biggest, most dramatic lavender display, Lavandin is the choice, and phenomenal in particular was bred for humidity tolerance, making it the best option for the Mid-Atlantic and Upper South. Let me bring this together with the seasonal care timeline that puts everything into practice in early spring. Once the last frost has passed and you see new green growth emerging from the base, do your first pruning. Shape the plant into a rounded mound, cutting into the green growth only, removing about 1/3. Clean up any dead stems from winter. This is the only time you might lightly fertilize if you're going to it. All late spring through summer is the hands-off. Water only when the soil is completely dry. Deadhead spent flower stalks by cutting them back to the first set of leaves below the flower. This encourages repeat blooming and varieties that rebloom, and keeps the plant looking tidy. Harvest flowers for drying when the buds are showing. Color but not fully open. That's when oil concentration peaks. Late summer, after the main bloom is finished. Do your second prune. Same technique, 1/3 off the green growth, shaping into a mound. This pruning prepares the plant for fall and prevents it from going into winter with long, vulnerable stems that can break under snow. More ice. And here's a bonus that comes from that late summer prune. Every stem you cut is a potential new plant. Lavender propagates easily from cuttings, which means one healthy plant can become ten within a single season. Take 4-inch cuttings from semi-hardwood stems, meaning stems that are partially woody at the base but still green and flexible. The tip Strip the lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone if you have it, though it's not strictly necessary. Stick the cuttings into a pot of damp perlite or a 5050 mix of perlite and sand. Keep them in bright, indirect light, mist lightly every couple of days, and within four to six weeks, you'll have rooted cuttings ready to pot up individually. This is how lavender farms in Providence multiply their stock. It's how American herb gardeners have been sharing lavender for generations. And it means your investment in one good lavender plant can furnish your entire porch, your garden border, and your neighbor's window box for free. One more thing about harvesting, because timing this correctly makes the difference between lavender that smells incredible. And lavender that smells like dried grass. The best time to harvest lavender flowers for drying is when about half the buds on a flower spike have opened and the other half are still closed. That's when the essential oil concentration peaks. If you wait until all the buds are fully open, you've already lost a significant percentage of the volatile aromatic compounds to evaporation. The scent is literally floating away in the air you're enjoying, which is great for your garden experience, but not great for your dried lavender bundles. Cut the stems long, at least 8 to 10 inches. Bundle 5 to 10 stems together with a rubber band or string. Hang the bundles upside down in a dark, dry, well-ventilated space. The Closet. Covered porch or a dry basement works well. Direct sunlight fades the color and degrades the oils, so darkness matters. In one to two weeks, the flowers will be fully dry and the fragrance will be concentrated and preserved, stored in an airtight container away from light. Dried lavender retains its scent for a year or more. Foam stop watering. Seriously, unless you're in an extreme drought, your lavender doesn't need supplemental water going into dormancy. The drier it goes into winter, the better it handles the cold. In zones 5 and 6, a light layer of gravel mulch around the base, not bark mulch which holds moisture, protects the crown from freeze thaw cycles. Winter, leave it alone. Resist the urge to prune. Resist the urge to tidy up dead looking growth. Lavender is dormant. The dead looking stems above the woody base are protecting the crown and the dormant buds inside. Wait until spring until you see green before you touch it. If you follow this timeline consistently, year after year, your lavender will develop into a dense. Grounded, heavily flowering Bush that lives for 10 to 15 years or more produces increasingly intense fragrance as it matures and requires less attention with each passing season. The first two years require the most discipline. After that, lavender rewards patience with compound interest. Everything I've described comes down to one principle. Stop treating lavender like it needs your help. Give it some drainage, air, and space. Water it less, feed it less. Prune it twice a year and leave it alone the rest of the time. The plant knows how to grow. It's been doing it on Mediterranean hillsides since before recorded history. Your job isn't to nurture it. Your job is to. To create the conditions that evolved for and get out of the way. Since I learned that my lavender has never looked better.

Take care of your plants dot DO take care of your plants. 一旦最后一次霜冻过去，并且你看到植株基部长出新的绿色嫩芽，就进行第一次修剪。把植株修剪成圆拱状，只修剪绿色的新生部分，大约剪掉三分之一。同时清理冬天枯死的枝条。如果你真的想施肥，这是唯一可以稍微施一点肥的时候。从晚春到整个夏季，基本上就是“少管它”的阶段。只有当土壤完全干透时才浇水。花谢后，把残花花梗剪回到花朵下方第一组叶子的地方。这能促进一些会重复开花的品种再次开花，也能让植株保持整洁美观。如果想采花来干燥保存，应在花苞已经显色、但尚未完全开放时采收。因为这个阶段精油浓度最高。到了夏末，主花期结束后，进行第二次修剪。方法相同：剪掉三分之一的绿色部分，并修成圆丘形状。这次修剪能帮助植株为秋季做好准备，避免带着过长而脆弱的枝条进入冬季，否则这些枝条在积雪或冰冻下容易折断。另外还有一个来自夏末修剪的额外好处：你剪下的每一根枝条，都有可能成为一株新的薰衣草。 薰衣草非常容易通过扦插繁殖，也就是说，一株健康的植株，在一个季节内就能变成十株。选取大约4英寸长的半木质化枝条，也就是基部已经有些木质化，但顶端仍然绿色柔软、有弹性的枝条。去掉下部叶子，如果有生根粉，可以把切口蘸一下，不过并不是绝对必要。然后把插穗插入潮湿的珍珠岩，或者珍珠岩与沙子1:1混合的介质中。把它们放在明亮但避免直射阳光的地方，每隔几天轻轻喷雾保湿。四到六周后，你就会得到已经生根、可以单独上盆的小苗。 这就是普罗旺斯（Provence）的薰衣草农场大量繁殖薰衣草的方法，也是美国香草园艺爱好者世代分享薰衣草的方式。这意味着，你只需买一株好的薰衣草，就能免费种满整个门廊、花坛边缘，甚至送给邻居窗台种植。关于采收还有一点非常重要，因为采收时间会决定你的薰衣草是香气惊人，还是闻起来像干草。最佳采收时间，是当一个花穗上大约一半花苞已经开放，而另一半仍未开放的时候。这时精油含量达到最高峰。如果等到所有花苞完全盛开，你其实已经失去了大量容易挥发的芳香化合物。香味已经飘散到空气中了——这对你在花园里的体验很好，但对制作干燥薰衣草束却不理想。 剪下长长的花梗，至少8到10英寸长。每5到10枝扎成一束，用橡皮筋或绳子固定。然后把花束倒挂在阴暗、干燥、通风良好的地方。衣柜、遮盖式门廊，或干燥的地下室都很适合。 阳光直射会让花色褪去，也会破坏精油，所以保持黑暗非常重要。一到两周后，花朵就会完全干燥，香味也会被浓缩并保存下来。之后放入密封容器中，并避光保存。干燥薰衣草的香味通常能维持一年甚至更久。秋天时停止浇水。真的，除非遇到极端干旱，否则薰衣草在进入休眠期时不需要额外补水。它在越干燥的状态下进入冬天，抗寒能力反而越强。在美国5至6耐寒区，可以在植株基部铺一层薄薄的碎石覆盖物——注意不要用树皮覆盖物，因为树皮会积水。碎石能保护植株基部，避免冻融循环造成伤害。冬天时，不要动它。克制住修剪的冲动，也不要急着清理那些看起来已经枯死的枝条。薰衣草只是进入了休眠状态。那些木质基部上方看似枯死的枝条，其实是在保护植株中心和内部休眠的芽点。 等到春天看到新的绿色生长后，再开始处理。如果你年复一年坚持按照这个时间表管理，你的薰衣草会逐渐长成一株浓密、稳固、花量巨大的灌木，可以活10到15年以上。随着成熟，它的香味会越来越浓郁，而你需要付出的照顾却会越来越少。前两年需要最多的耐心与自律。之后，薰衣草会像“复利”一样回报你的耐心。 我所描述的一切，其实都归结为一个原则：不要总把薰衣草当成需要你不断帮助的植物。给它排水良好的土壤、空气和空间。少浇水，少施肥。一年修剪两次，其余时间别去打扰它。植物自己知道该怎么生长。它在地中海山坡上已经这样生长了几千年，甚至早于人类有历史记录的时候。你的工作不是“精心呵护”它，而是创造适合它自然演化的环境，然后别挡它的路。自从我明白这一点后，我种的薰衣草状态从未如此好过。如果这改变了你对薰衣草养护的看法，请订阅 Plan Tellier。在评论区告诉我，你种薰衣草时最大的困难是什么？我很想听听。照顾好你的植物。真的，要好好照顾你的植物。

为什麽外邦要烧毁圆明园两次

圆明园在1860年已经被烧过一次了。到1900年的时候，剩下的建筑已经不多了，很多地方就是废墟。但是八国联军进了北京之后，再一次对圆明园进行了彻底的系统的毁灭性的破坏，这一次连废墟都不放过，他们把剩下的石雕砸碎，把残留的金属构件熔炼，把还能用的木料拆走，把地基都给你刨了，他们在找什么，他们在销毁什么，他们在找司仪管的痕迹。明朝的司仪管到了清朝，功能有所变化，名称也变了，变成了四译馆，或者会同四译馆，但核心功能之一，培养翻译人才，整理周边国家和民族的语言文字。保存相关的典籍资料，是一直延续下来的，而且这个机构跟圆明园有着千丝万缕的联系，大量的图书教材档案图纸，就保存在圆明园及其周边的附属机构里。八国联军里的很多人，尤其是那些随军的学者，传教士，间谍，他们非常清楚这些东西在哪里。他们的目标非常明确，抢走能抢走的，烧掉抢不走的，彻底抹去一切欧洲文明曾向中国学习的证据。

二战日军投降，中国要求日本赔偿， 是美国强迫蒋介石不准要求赔偿

日本对华赔偿问题战后几十年来一直成为学术界与当政者之间的争论话题。事实上，蒋中正对赔偿一事从未松口，他并且同意战后日本以实物作为赔偿的一部分。1945年8月15日蒋中正的为抗战胜利告全国军民及世界人士书中对战后日本的态度十分明确，他说，我中国同胞须知“不念旧恶”， 及 “与人为善”为我民族传统至高至贵的德性。我们一贯声言，只认日本黩武的军阀为敌，不以日本的人民为敌，今天敌军已被我们盟邦共同打倒了，我们当然要严密责惩他，忠实执行所有的投降条件。八一五的时候，他的宣言，说：我们要“与人为善”， 我们不是要复仇。以牙还牙，以眼还眼，但是日本人要根据波茨坦会议负责赔偿。而且委员长对这件事非常认真，非常重视，因为委员长和中国整个政府当时希望用这个赔偿的物资，振兴我们的中国的工业，蒋介石也冤枉的，他派的代表在日本跟日本人拍桌子大闹要求赔偿；是美国人，后来通知蒋介石，美国政府叫蒋介石不许要日本赔偿， 因为我们需要把日本重新建设起来，抵抗苏俄，你中国需要钱，将来我们美国给你，美国给了没有， 没有！后来一直到了韩战以后，美国才来美援，那些美援不是送给我们的，要照利息还的。 The issue of Japanese reparations to China has remained a topic of debate between scholars and political leaders for decades after the war. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek never softened his position on reparations, and he also agreed that part of Japan’s postwar compensation could be paid in goods and materials. In his August 15, 1945 address to the Chinese people and the world announcing victory in the War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek made his attitude toward postwar Japan very clear. He said that the Chinese people must understand that “not dwelling on past evils” and “treating others with kindness” are among the highest and noblest virtues of the Chinese nation. He stated that China had always regarded only Japan’s militarist warlords as the enemy, not the Japanese people themselves. Now that the enemy forces had been defeated jointly by China and the Allied powers, China would, of course, strictly punish them and faithfully carry out all the terms of surrender. In his August 15 declaration, he said that China should “treat others with kindness”; China was not seeking revenge, not “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” However, Japan still had to make reparations in accordance with the decisions of the Potsdam Conference. The Generalissimo took this matter very seriously and attached great importance to it, because both he and the Chinese government hoped to use those reparations materials to rebuild and revitalize China’s industry. In a sense, Chiang Kai-shek was also treated unfairly. The representatives he sent to Japan argued fiercely with the Japanese side, pounding the table and demanding reparations. But later, the Americans informed Chiang Kai-shek that the U.S. government did not want China to demand reparations from Japan, because the United States needed to rebuild Japan in order to resist the Soviet Union. The Americans told Chiang Kai-shek: China needs money, and in the future, the United States will provide it. But did America actually provide it? No. It was not until after the Korean War that American aid finally arrived. And even then, that aid was not simply given to China for free — it had to be repaid with interest.
