Germanyʼs farmers feel the heat of climate change German farmers are no strangers to the elements, but this summer has brought home the realities of climate change, and the need to start adapting. How can farmers adapt to the changing conditions?

Carved into a block of wood and given pride of place in the parlor of an old farmhouse 100 or so kilometers (around 62 miles) northwest of Berlin, is a quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: Was du ererbt von deinen Vätern

hast, erwirb es, um es zu besitzen. From

his place at the head of a solid wooden table, farmer Hans-Heinrich Grünhagen recites the words that were also a feature of his western German childhood home. Loosely translated, they mean: To own your inheritance, you have to use it well. He interprets them as a reminder of his "duty" to tend the land in his custody with such care, that when it passes to his children, it is in better condition than when he took it on.

World-class designer Karl Lagerfeld at 85 (probably) Heʼs been designing collections for Chanel for 30 years, photographing fashion, devising advertising campaigns and collecting masses of books.

So how old is Karl Lagerfeld? Is he 80, or perhaps 83 years old? Or maybe 85? Was he even born on September 10? He once told a reporter he hadnʼt a clue about his actual birth

date because his birth certificate was destroyed in the bombing of the Altona neighborhood of Hamburg in World War II. That aside, questions about his age annoy him. He simply couldnʼt care less. "I feel young anyway," he says. Currently, Lagerfeld says 1935 is his year of birth — for a long time, he declared it was 1938 — but a look at the Hamburg baptism register reveals the year 1933.

ʼYeah, nahʼ: Kiwi startup defies German giantʼs order to stop saying ʼhelloʼ New Zealand startup My Food Bag, which delivers fresh ready-to-cook ingredients, issued a tongue-in-cheek response to a cease-and-desist notice from Berlin-based Hello Fresh. Hello Fresh had taken issue with its Kiwi competitor using the phrase "Hello Fresh." The letter, published in the New Zealand Herald and other domestic media, is replete with Kiwi colloquialisms and phrases in the countryʼs indigenous Maori language. The response, from Aotearoa, the Maori name for New Zealand, begins with a Maori greeting, to HelloFresh executives Thomas Griesel and Dr. Christian Ries. "Kia ora" is translated as "hello." "Kia ora Herr Griesel and Herr Ries, Greetings from Aotearoa. We donʼt often get heavyweight German multina‐ tional corporations taking the time to write to us Kiwis."

The report said heʼd likely been detained for "political publications." Austrian journalist Max Zirngast was detained by security forces in Turkey on Tuesday morning, according to the magazine that he worked for. Re:voltmagazine reported on Twitter that Zirngast and "several others" were arrested in Ankara around 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning by "anti-terror" authorities. They posted a picture of Zirngast as well as a photo of security forces allegedly removing him from what appears to be an apartment building.

According to re:volt, Zirngast has lived in Turkey for several years, where he works and is studying. Ismail Küpeli, a political scientist and journalist, wrote on Twitter that Zirngastʼs arrest was likely tied to his work, and not to any alleged "terrorist" activities.
