We see them in the garden frequently, but what makes a beetle a beetle?
Beneficial soldier beetle (UCANR)
Entomologists estimate that there are 400,000 - 1,000,000 species of beetle in the world. Beetles make up 40% of all insects and 25% of all life forms! They are members of the Coleoptera order. That name comes from Greek words that mean "sheathed wing". The word beetle comes from the Old English word bitula, which means 'to bite'. Fossil records show that beetles have been around for 300 million years.

Beetle anatomy
Basic beetle anatomy has stayed relatively the same since their prehistoric beginnings. [If it ain't broke, why fix it - right?] Like most insects, they have three major body parts (head, thorax, abdomen), antenna, wings, compound eyes, and protruding jaws. They are protected by an especially hard exoskeleton made up of plates called sclerites and they have claws on the lower segment (tarsi) of each leg.
Wings - Most beetles have two pairs of wings. The front pair have evolved into hardened shell coverings called elytra. The back pair are used for flying. (Some species have lost the ability to fly.)
Jaws - Beetle jaws (mandibles) move side-to-side, rather than up and down. Generally, males have more elongated mandibles than females.
Eyes - All beetles have compound eyes, which means their eyes are made up of many viewing screens. Among insects, honeybees are considered to have pretty good vision at 1/60. [What we can see from 60 feet away, a bee could only see 1 foot away] What they lack in vision, they more than make up for with adaptability and resilience. For example, aquatic whirligig beetles have split eyes that allow them to see both above and below the waterline!
Antenna - A beetle's segmented antenna are used to smell things and to feel around.

Beetle lifecycle
Beetles are found everywhere on earth except for the polar ice caps. They go through distinct developmental stages that look very different from other stages. This is called complete metamorphosis. They start out as eggs that hatch into larvae. Beetle larvae eat a lot! Then they enter a resting pupal stage, where they are transformed into an adult beetle. Beetles tend to be very territorial and mating rituals are particularly brutal. Burying beetles wage war against their neighbors until only one male and one female are left to reproduce, ensuring the strength and fitness of there local gene pool. A female beetle may lay as many as several thousand eggs in her lifetime. Most species abandon the eggs as soon as they are laid, while a few create nurturing habitats for their young and stick around to protect the eggs from predators.
Beetle communication
Beetles use chemicals called pheromones to communicate and to seek out mates. The aggregative pheromone calls other to a feeding site, while the anti-aggregative pheromone tells others to stay away. Some beetle species use a scraper on their abdomen to make sounds that are not audible to us humans. Pheromone traps, strong winds, and loud noises can really mess up a beetle's romantic intentions.

Feeding habits of beetles
Most beetles prefer eating dead plant material and dung. Many beetles are host-specific, which means they have favorite foods, and some are omnivores, eating plants, earthworms and snails. There are only a few predatory beetles and a handful that prefer carrion.
Beetle defense
Beetles use camouflage, toxicity, mimicry and active defense measures to stay alive. Some species look like bird poop, while others look too much like wasps for predators to give them a taste. Other species use color to blend into the scenery. They can also secrete chemicals that make themselves taste bad. Some of these chemicals also provide protection against microbes. Very often, beetles get these chemicals from the plants they eat. Some species can spray these chemicals with surprising accuracy! Larger beetles have horns or spines, used to attack would-be predators.
Beetles as pollinators
While not significant pollinators, beetles are generally attracted to large, flattened or cup-shaped off-white or green flowers, such as dill, carrot, and other umbellifers, or those with heavy scents similar to decaying matter.
Beetles as pests
Since larval beetles tend to feed voraciously on agricultural crops, they are mostly considered pests. According to a study by Mississippi State University, the boll weevil came into the U.S. from Mexico in 1892. Traveling an average of 100 miles a year, this little beetle has cost the cotton industry an estimated $13 billion! Beetles are also responsible for destroying American elm populations because they can carry Dutch Elm Disease.
These are some common beetles found in the garden:
Lady beetle
Colorado potato beetle (a huge pest that has become resistant to most pesticides)
Ground beetle (feed on fly eggs, caterpillars and other pests)
Rose curculio (feeding causes ragged blossoms)
Bean weevil
Pea leaf weevil (chews notches on leaves and can kill seedlings)
Cucumber beetle
Wireworms (orange cylindrical larvae feed on roots and new shoots)
Green fruit beetle (adults feed on ripe fruit)
Soldier beetle (this highly beneficial predator loves to eat aphids and they pollinate flowers!)
So, beetles can be good or bad, from a gardener's perspective. Take a stroll through your garden and see what's crawling (or flying) around!


[url][/url]JINAN Cheap Buccaneers Jerseys , Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- Zhan Wenlian's husband and son did not discuss whether to bury her ashes in a cemetery or scatter them at sea. Instead, they had her body frozen, hoping future technology will someday return her to them.
Then her body was quickly transferred to a laboratory at Shandong Yinfeng Life Sciences Research Institute Jordan Whitehead Buccaneers Jersey , where her body temperature was lowered and her blood was replaced with a mixture of anti-freeze and organ-preserving chemicals.
The temperature of her body was further lowered before she was wrapped in a "sleeping bag" and put in a metal capsule. The capsule was stored in a liquid nitrogen container at a temperature of minus 196 degrees Celsius.
"The device will monitor the temperature and volume changes of the liquid nitrogen. Approximately every ten days, staff will add liquid nitrogen," said Zang Chuanbao, director of the institute's cryo-medicine research center.
"I thought she was just lazy and fell asleep. She just pressed the pause button on her life," said Gui Junmin, Zhan's husband. He said Zhan wished to donate her organs and body for scientific research.
The expensive procedure was funded by the Jinan-based research institute Alex Cappa Buccaneers Jersey , which was established by Yinfeng Biological Group in 2015. Its research fields include gene engineering, stem cell technology, human cell and organ storage and resurrection.
"Theoretically, her metabolism and cellular activity are stagnated. There is no issue with keeping her body like this for centuries. Perhaps, one day when technology advances, she can be resurrected Jordan Whitehead Jersey ," said Zang.
The institute extracted stem cells from Zhan's blood, which could potentially be beneficial for her revival or for her family members.
Zhan was the first Chinese national to have her entire body cryogenically frozen. In 2015, Chinese science fiction editor Du Hong, 61, died of pancreatic cancer and had her head cryogenically frozen and stored at the headquarters of Alcor Life Extension Foundation in the United States.
In 1967, American scientist James Bedford became the first cryogenically frozen human. Around 300 individuals have had either their whole body Alex Cappa Jersey , head or brain frozen in liquid nitrogen, and many more prospective candidates signed up.
There are only a handful of facilities around the world dedicated to cryo-preservation, such as U.S.-based Alcor Life Extension Foundation and KrioRus in Russia.
"I have peace of mind knowing that no matter what happens in the future... I am signed up [for cryonics] and there is that possibility I could wake up in the future," Alcor member, Dr. Kathleen Cotter, commented on the company's website.
However Ali Marpet Buccaneers Jersey , such options are not without controversy, as many scientists see the difficulties in the process.
"The procedure has been done, but it is too early to call it successful," said Ouyang Xilin, a doctor at First Affiliated Hospital of Chinese PLA General Hospital.
"We are not sure about the vitality of organs, tissues and cells Donovan Smith Buccaneers Jersey ," he said.
"Avoiding damage to the body during the temperature changes is key to the procedure," said Xu Yi, a biology professor at University of Shanghai for Science and Technology.
"Freezing human bodies has been discussed worldwide for decades. It is not possible now to resurrect them, but the procedure is a period of experimentation," Xu said.
In addition to skepticism on the feasibility of resurrection, critics are concerned that it may pose challenges for medical ethics and legal systems as there are no laws or regulations on cryonics in China.
Some people worry that if future technology allows immortality Noah Spence Buccaneers Jersey , the rich and powerful may monopolize the benefits of prolonging life.
"The technology may lead to the most terrible cases of injustice," said Tian Fu, associate law professor at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
"If some time in the future, you passed away but your mother was still in the world, what would you do?" Gui asked his son, who supported the decision to freeze his mother.
"I would tell my children why we made this decision today and where their grandmother was so they can tell their children Vernon Hargreaves III Buccaneers Jersey ," his son answered.
Gui believes advances in medical technology will one day allow his wife to wake up, but he may be unable to live long enough to see that day. He said when he dies, he wants to be frozen to allow the chance for a reunion.
Now, the family is collecting photographs and recording what is happening in the family, in China and beyond. They will store the information in her files at the institute.
"One day when she wakes up, she can learn what happened when she was absent Kendell Beckwith Buccaneers Jersey ," Gui said.
Previously various weeks we view the price of gasoline rise greater than inside the past, which can be difficult on people who have an affordable that's tight. Though gas costs came up lower a little little bit, you will still might wish to it is able to it's doable to to decrease the bucks you spend out regarding gas. You can come across several different approaches that you could save petrol, and cut costs.

The décor in The Alchemist is exactly what you'd expect from an ultra-modern cocktail bar - lots of copper trimmings, dark wood, and highly detailed pencil illustrations everywhere. It's clearly become a popular place to visit since opening as part of the new Westgate shopping centre, and there were at least two Christmas gatherings going on when my partner and I arrived there for Sunday lunch.
We started off in the bar area, with a couple of cocktails from the period table-inspired menu. I chose a Roses, a deliciously creamy cocktail with Baileys, syrup and real rose petals, that was strong and flavourful without being too much for my as-yet empty stomach. My partner, not much of a drinker, went for a non-alcoholic Strawberry Colada, which tasted like a cross between a milkshake and a particularly decadent smoothie.
Pre-drinks finished, we were soon shown to our table. Unfortunately, this was rather cramped, squashed between two other small tables with little room for us or the people behind us to manoeuvre - probably a result of the busyness of the restaurant. We looked through the menu while more cocktails were delivered to the tables around us, including several smoking, bubbling concoctions that fully lived up to the restaurant's name.
If you have specific dietary requirements, you won't go hungry at The Alchemist. There were several vegetarian and vegan options on the menu, and, when taking our order, the waiter checked whether we had any food allergies that we'd like the kitchen to know about. My partner was delighted to find that there were not one, but two veggie burgers available, and neither was the lazy option of 'Portobello mushroom in a tired-looking bun' sadly beloved of many restaurants.
We started by sharing a portion of seitan 'chicken wings', which were even better than I expected - very spicy, with a great texture that wasn't too far away from the real thing. The portion size was generous, and one serving was enough to split between two people.
For our main course, I chose chicken in a basket (the non-vegetarian version this time, although more seitan was an option), while my partner selected the Moving Mountains veggie burger. My chicken arrived in a very well-presented hen-shaped basket, with a side of coleslaw, salt and pepper fries, and a strong, tangy barbecue relish. The chicken itself was perfectly cooked - no grease, no gristle, no stray pieces of bone, just tender chicken in a crispy crumb. According to my partner, the Moving Mountains burger was one of the best vegetarian burgers he'd ever eaten - it seems that The Alchemist places just as much care and attention in creating flavourful dishes for their vegetarian customers as they do for the meat-eaters.
The service at The Alchemist was prompt and friendly, without being overbearing, and the allergy check from our waiter was reassuring - I'd feel comfortable taking my friends with food intolerances there for a meal. While a meal at The Alchemist is not a budget option, you get large portions of great quality food and excitingly-flavoured drinks for your money, in a fun and buzzing environment that has a great view from the Westgate's roof terrace across the spires of Oxford. For a party or a treat where you can find something on the menu for everyone, The Alchemist is a great choice.

New report reveals need for more women in P&L roles in pharma industry
A new report by The Pipeline has indicated the need for the appointment of more women in profit and loss (P&L) roles in order to eliminate hindrance to gender diversity in the UK's pharmaceutical industry.
Titled Women Count 2018, the report tracked and examined the number of women on Executive Committees of FTSE 350 companies over the past three years.
Statistics revealed a lack of progress on gender diversity in senior roles in the FTSE 350 companies, with the ratio of women on Executive Committees being stagnant at 16%.
The survey found that men hold 95% of all P&L roles on Executive Committees, while majority of women have functional profiles, including human resources (HR), marketing, legal and compliance.
The percentage of women in P&L roles has decreased since last year and now stands at 5%, while the proportion of women on executive boards has remained at 8% in the same time period.
"The Pharma sector has a higher representation of women on Executive Committees compared with the FTSE 350 average."
It was observed that the Pharma sector has a higher representation of women on Executive Committees than FTSE 350 average at 25%. The numbers are also said to have increased slightly compared with last year.
The proportion of women in P&L roles in the Pharma sector was slightly higher at 8% than the 5% average.
Based on these results, the company urged the Pharma industry to take better measures to improve the statistics and reach the government's target of 33% women on FTSE 100 executive committees by 2020.
The Pipeline co-founder Lorna Fitzsimons said: "This is an alarm bell for everyone who supports the Hampton-Alexander recommendation to government to achieve 33% representation of women on FTSE 100 executive committees and their direct reports by 2020.
"Government and business leaders must sit up and take notice. If we carry on as we have been doing – we will miss these targets. This doesn't just fail women but it fails us all and our economy too."

As the SKWAWKBOX covered earlier, dozens of Palestinians were killed and thousands wounded as Israeli forces opened fire on crowds protesting and commemorating the 70th 'Nakba Day'. The confirmed death toll has now reached fifty-five, with 2,700 wounded.
Throughout that six-week period, the UN's Secretary General has been calling for an independent investigation into these incidents, one that should urgently determine whether international law has been broken, and hold the Netanyahu government to account for their actions. The UK should lead calls for the UN Security Council to order such an investigation today.
These incidents must also be the catalyst for urgent and concerted international pressure on the Netanyahu government to lift the blockade on Gaza, and end Israel's illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories. No longer can Netanyahu act as a law unto himself, under the protection of the Trump administration, whose decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem today has further inflamed the situation.
In the meantime, we urge the Israeli forces serving on the Gaza border to show some long-overdue responsibility to their fellow human beings, and stop this vicious and utterly avoidable slaughter of peaceful protesters demanding the right to return to their homes.


What happens when will be no more Bitcoin?
Last month, Bitcoin's blockchain reached a very important milestone: the 17 millionth BTC was mined. Obviously, this number is very important, as it confirms that there are just four million tokens left to mine, before the final cap of 21 million BTC is reached. Still, there's no need to panic about this, because it will take a lot of time.
According to CoinTelegraph, Bitcoin's blockchain protocol makes mining more difficult, as more miners join the party, not to mention that the rewards for mining a block is reduced by 50% every time 210,000 blocks are mined.
Currently, miners get 12.5 BTC for unlocking a new block, but starting with May 2020, they will get only 6.25 coins. As for the last Bitcoin that will be mined, this is expected to happen somewhere in 2140, presuming that no other changes to the protocol will be made.
Until now, it's taken just 9 years to mine more than 80 percent of the total coins that will ever be available, split in a bit over 520,000 blocks.
What's next after the last token is mined?
Miners are still motivated by the incentives they're receiving now, but when the 21 million cap will finally be hit, there will basically be no more BTC rewards for them. Still, transactions will be validated and stored on blocks in the blockchain. In this condition, miners will only benefit from transaction fees. But will this be enough for them?
On the other side, let's not forget that Bitcoin transactions are now processed by the network in order of the transaction fee associated to that specific transaction. The higher the fee, the bigger the interest for a miner to prioritize the transaction.
Basically, this will be the method of rewarding Bitcoin miners in the next century, one there will be no more tokens to be unlocked. And it's a statement coming directly from Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin whitepaper.

The user has some software that uses XML and related XML technologies (infoset-based, etc.) internally, but wishes to produce HTML that will be served as text/html.
Even if data is internally managed in XML, or XML-based DOMs, etc., it is possible to use serializers that produce HTML (I.e. content that would be properly interpreted if served as text/html).
A solution that has been mentioned is using polyglot markup. This solution requires restricting the problem statement by stipulating additional restrictions on the properties of the text/html content to be produced.
The text/html content is constrained in such a way that when parsed as XML, it produces the same parse tree (except for how the xmlns attribute on the root element is represented) as it would produce if parsed using an implementation of the HTML parsing algorithm.
For the user to be able to produce text/html content using an XML toolchain, every document (s)he wants to consume has to be polyglot. If the content to be produced is Web content in general, there's no way to force all of it to be polyglot, and the polyglot solution isn't applicable.

As expected, there's a lot of doubt circulating about Twitter's ad program. If Wall Street could look beyond one quarter at a time, perhaps they'll give Twitter some breathing room to prove that its ad operations are beginning to work. (WSJ)

Them's fightin' words. (Bloomberg)

This requires business model change: product > service > marketplace > repeat.
Continue to be digitally resilient: connected, empowering others, build to last, and profitable.
While certain aspects of B2B and B2C marketing are similar, there are nuances in how content strategies are developed for each.

The Hidden Message Behind Verizon's AOL Takover


Mutia, T. M., 2016, The impacts of geothermal power plant emissions on terrestrial ecosystems in contrasting bio-climatic zones, PhD dissertation, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Iceland, 147 pp.
Very little is known on the ecosystem impacts of emissions from geothermal power plants. The emissions, comprising mainly of non- condensable gases (NCGs) i.e. carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, methane and trace elements such as arsenic, boron, antimony and mercury, have the potential to deposit and accumulate in ecosystems. At elevated levels, some NCGs can cause ecosystem stress, especially H 2 S and the trace elements. The aim of this thesis is to assess the effects of these elements on terrestrial ecosystems around two geothermal areas in contrasting biomes i.e. Kenya and Iceland. Dominant plant species around each geothermal study area, Tarchonanthus camphoratus shrub in Kenya and Racomitrium lanuginosum moss in Iceland, were used as bio-indicators and concentrations of sulphur, arsenic, boron, antimony and mercury were mapped in their tissues and soils at increasing distances from the power plants along the prevailing wind direction in field surveys. Patterns of plant growth and health along the same distances and wind direction gradients were also studied to assess any potential effects related to the power plants. Controlled experiments were thereafter carried out on the same plant species to assess in detail the effects of the most abundant phytotoxic NCG, i.e. H 2 S gas, on plant growth and health. Results of the field surveys and experiments indicated that the main geothermally emitted component, H 2 S gas, deposits and accumulates in plants and soils. The measured trace element concentrations in plants and soils (from the field surveys): arsenic, boron, antimony and mercury, did not show strong patterns attributable to the geothermal power plant emissions. Further, results of the surveys in relation to geothermal power plant emissions showed weak indications of effects on Tarchonanthus camphoratus shrub growth and health around the Olkaria geothermal power plants in Kenya, while in Iceland, the growth of Racomitrium lanuginosum moss was reduced around the Hengill geothermal power plants. Additionally, the experiments showed that, 30 µg/L aqueous H 2 S (10.96 ppm in air) may be a tolerable limit for plants around geothermal power plants in Kenya and Iceland. These findings serve as important baseline data toward environmental monitoring and management around both geothermal power plant areas in Kenya and Iceland; this information is also of utmost importance in advising the public and decision makers in Kenya and Iceland on the ecosystem (terrestrial) impacts of geothermal power plant emissions.
Áhrif efnalosunar frá jarðvarmavirkjunum á vistkerfi eru almennt fremur illa þekkt. Losunin samanstendur aðallega af óþéttanlegum lofttegundum, þ.e. koldíoxíði, brennisteinsvetni og metani, en einnig af snefilefnum eins og arseni, bór, antimon og kvikasilfri sem geta öll safnast fyrir í vistkerfum. Við hærri styrk geta þessi efni valdið álagi á vistkerfi, einkum brennisteinsvetni og snefilefnin. Markmið verkefnisins var að kanna áhrif þessara efna á landvistkerfi við jarðvarmavirkjanir við líffræðilega mjög ólíkar aðstæður, þ.e. í Kenýa og á Íslandi. Ríkjandi plöntutegundir umhverfis virkjanasvæðin, Tarchonanthus camphoratus runni í Kenýa og Racomitrium lanuginosum mosi á Íslandi, voru notaðar sem líffræðilegir vísar og styrkur brennisteins, arsens, bórs, antimons og kvikasifurs mældur í þeim og í jarðvegi í mismunandi fjarlægð frá virkjununum í stefnu ríkjandi vindátta. Vöxtur og heilbrigði plantna voru einnig könnuð í sömu fjarlægðum til þess að meta möguleg áhrif er tengjast jarðvarmavirkjunum. Einnig voru gerðar staðlaðar tilraunir þar sem áhrif brennisteinsvetnis á vöxt og heilbrigði tegundanna tveggja voru könnuð. Niðurstöður vettvangsrannsókna og tilrauna benda til þess að brennisteinsvetni, eitt meginefnið sem losað er frá jarðvarmavirkjununum, safnist fyrir í plöntum og jarðvegi. Styrkur snefilefnanna arsens, bórs, antímons og kvikasilfurs í plöntum og jarðvegi benti hins vegar ekki til þess að þau mætti rekja til losunar frá virkjununum. Við orkuverin í Olkaria í Kenýa komu fram fremur veik en neikvæð áhrif á vöxt og heilbrigði runnans Tarchonanthus camphoratus. Þessi áhrif voru hins vegar merkjanleg á mosann Racomitrium lanuginosum við íslensku orkuverin við Hengil. Tilraunir sýndu að bæði í Kenýa og á Íslandi virðist styrkur H2S sem nemur 30 μg/l í vatnslausn (10,96 ppm í lofti) vera efri þolmörk fyrir tegundirnar tvær. Þessar niðurstöður leggja mikilvægan grunn að umhverfisvöktun og við stjórn jarðvarmaorkuvera bæði í Kenýa og á Íslandi. Að auki eru þær mjög mikilvægar bæði fyrir almenning og við alla ákvarðanatöku er snerta áhrif losunar efna frá jarðvarmavirkjunum á vistkerfi í báðum löndunum.

The Best Casino Games Based on Pop Culture
February 19, 2019 by FOG! Command
There are only so many themes that one can come up with when designing a casino slot. The classic themes of fruits, bars and 7s have been done to death, so it's only normal that games developers look for outside influences.
Over the last few years there has been a drive towards creating slots on anything remotely linked to popular culture, with everyone from Guns n' Roses to Sex and the City getting the slot machine treatment. Below we have picked some of the best:
Highlander Slot
Starting with a cult classic, the Highlander Slot is based on the 1986 Christopher Lambert fantasy-vehicle. It's officially licensed, meaning real imagery, video clips and sounds are taken from the film. You'll find Lambert and the other actors – with the notable exception of Sean Connery. The highlights are the retro 80s vibe and imagery, but there is also a very lucrative free spins feature based on "The Quickening".
Playboy Gold Slot
Ok. So, it's 2019 and Playboy probably isn't the most revered example of pop culture, given its representation of women. However, the Playboy Gold slot is not about stripped-down women at all. It's about great gameplay on an innovative reel set, as well as lots of big-money special features. In addition, whether you like it or not, the music track, which sounds like Nile Rodgers playing guitar on a 70s porn film, will be stuck in your head for days.
Like the movie, Jurassic Park slot from Microgaming was a huge hit. Also like the movie, the slot got a big reboot with Jurassic World. Like the original, Jurassic World is a bold, ambitious slot full of special feature and big cash bonus games. The graphics are top notch too. You can check it out, along with Highlander Slot and Playboy Gold above, at https://www.luckycasino.com/ja/, which offers language options for Japanese, English, Swedish and Finnish players.
Yep, Seth McFarlane's comedy bear has his own slot game. What makes it a great slot is that it doesn't simply just brand the game with Ted's image and then play out as a regular game. Rather, Ted is endlessly inventive, with around seven or eight bonus games all of which tie in nicely to the theme of the movie. So, expect plenty of references to beer, marijuana, casual sex and so on.
Superman Roulette
How do you make a superhero roulette game? You add prizes worth thousands to the mix. Superman Roulette is essentially just regular roulette, with a few exceptions in terms of style and bonus games. However, what makes this game worth your attention is the four progressive jackpots that can be won with any spin. The biggest jackpot, the Grand Jackpot, can be worth millions.
Another title that is available to play at Lucky Casino, the Game of Thrones slot is actually available in two versions, one with 15 paylines and one with a whopping 243 lines. The advice is to play the former, as it could lead to huge payouts in the lucrative free spins feature. Again, it's an officially licensed product, so expect plenty of images and sounds from the hit television series.
Like the tv show, Battlestar Galactica pushes the boundaries when it comes to creativity. It was one of the first slot games to rip up the rule book entirely, offering three different game modes, each with different ways to win, themes and special features. A classic.

Has there ever been a better movie marketing campaign than "Deadpool 2"?
Courtesy Twentieth Century Fox
Media are best understood as a competition for attention on internet-connected screens. Phones, tablets, laptops, monitors, TVs—it's all just glass.
By Ashley Rodriguez
Published May 21, 2018 This article is more than 2 years old.
If you shopped for a Blu-ray copy of Predator, Fight Club, or Office Space at Walmart last week, you might have noticed an unfamiliar character dressed in red spandex with two katana swords strapped to his back. That's Deadpool, and he's not in any of those movies.
The Marvel anti-hero crashed the covers of classic Fox films in Walmart stores across the US last week to promote his new movie Deadpool 2, which hit US theaters over the weekend. The film had the second biggest R-rated opening ever, behind the original Deadpool, with $125 million at the domestic box office and another $176 million abroad, according to ComScore. This, while Avengers: Infinity War was still in theaters and just ahead of the next Star Wars release, no less. It's thanks in part to the brilliant and shameless stunts Twentieth Century Fox pulled to promote the "merc with a mouth."
Since taking on the role of Deadpool in 2016, actor Ryan Reynolds has adopted the character's persona in real life. When he's not tweeting sarcastically about parenthood, tickle fights, or chimichangas, he's trolling Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman on Twitter or trading playground insults with co-star Josh Brolin on the BBC Radio 1.
The scrappy marketing campaign for the original film featured movie posters billing the bloody action flick as a romantic Valentine's Day comedy, a Tinder profile for the mercenary, a Yule Log—err, "Pool Log"—with a flaming bag of poop, and other elements that hit on nearly every platform one can think of.
Marketing for Deadpool 2 began more than a year ago when Reynolds, in his Deadpool garb, impersonated Bob Ross to tease the movie. For Thanksgiving, Deadpool graced Good Housekeeping magazine as a special guest editor. He "learned" Portuguese ahead of the Comic Con Experience in Brazil. He released funny cards for Valentine's Day in February, and an Easter coloring book in April, among other stunts. And fellow Canadian treasure Celine Dion was tapped for the movie's soundtrack and music video.
Deadpool also appeared in ads for Espolòn tequila, Trolli gummy candy, 7-11 stores, and other brands. The marketing onslaught made it impossible not to have seen at least one ad for the movie.
Reynolds, as himself, performed an unsettling rendition of "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie while dressed as a unicorn on South Korean TV, as well. This was presumably to promote Deadpool 2. But who really knows with this guy?

I was approaching the West Medford commuter rail crossing when the lights started flashing and the bells started ringing because a train was coming. A woman put her head down and ran through the alarms, hoping to catch a bus. She ran head-first into the descending barrier, her feet came out from under her, and she crashed.
No blood, and after a minute she got up and walked off. She said that would teach her not to run with a hat on. I figured she wasn't likely to have learned anything.


Marketplaces in North Korea have expanded over the span of more than 10 years despite the North's crackdown on them in 2010, a report showed Tuesday, indicating markets' critical role in the North's economy.
An analysis of satellite imagery showed that most markets in North Korea have "either grown or remained virtually unchanged" in recent years despite the North Korean regime's crackdown on them, according to the report by Benjamin Katzeff Silberstein, a non-resident Kelly Fellow at the Pacific Forum CSIS.
"This is yet another indication among many that the markets are a crucial part of the North Korean economy, and the fact that they have grown in many cities would seem to imply that their importance is growing," the report said.
The report, titled "Growth and Geography of Markets in North Korea," was written based on satellite imagery to delve into how North Korea's markets have changed in size over time.
In the western border city of Sinuiju, the total market space in the city grew by 114 percent between 2003 and 2014, the report said. The North's border city of Kaesong saw aggregate market size grow by around 16 percent in the cited period.
Pyongsong, about 30 kilometers north of Pyongyang, was an exception as the closure of the wholesale market in 2010 decreased the city's market size by 70 percent.
The report said that satellite imagery cannot capture whether markets are actually operating, but relevant datasets showed "policies of market repression have not translated into permanent closures and removals of markets."
It also said aggregate market space per capital is larger in North Korea's southern areas than in the northern parts, indicating that domestic agriculture may also be a major driver of the market economy.

Nigerian singer KentOxygen is Engaged!!
Nigerian singer – KentOxygen (Kayode Hassan) got engaged to the love of his life – Funmi recently. The singer, who bears a striking resemblance to Falz the Bahd Guy, shared their love story and pictures from their engagement shoot with us. The engagement shoot was photographed by our vendor – DO Weddings.
It was a sunny Sunday afternoon in December 2003; I went visiting my friend at his church and just at the choir stand, I saw two girls singing and smiling. One was tall, the other was short. The tall girl caught my attention because she was very beautiful, her smile was like a shiny star and she also looked very much like a friend of mine. Her name is Oluwafunmilayo. Quickly, I made enquiries and was told she wasn't my friend's sister and was a very decent girl. The following year, we became really good friends. I would always visit her at her mother's shop.
In September 2006, I visited her as usual at her mother's shop. Behold her mother went south on me and told me to stop coming to visit her because she needs to focus on her studies as she just gained admission into the university. I was shocked but said nothing. Funmi and I stopped talking for a while but we couldn't hold it so we got back to talking.
I decided to ask her out and told a close female friend of mine. She talked me out of it and told me how one of our friends tried asking Funmi out and Funmi embarrassed him. So I went for another girl.
In 2009, while I was in a relationship, I still wanted Funmi, so I told her about my feelings. She told me I had to leave the girl I was seeing before she could say yes to me but indecision rocked my entire system and so I did nothing. Funmi went on to date another guy who was my friend. I felt bad but knew that I could not eat my cake and have it.
Fast forward to 2013, I was eventually single, she had broken up with my friend so I asked Funmi out and told her how much I wanted her. Unfortunately, she was in a relationship and would not break up the relationship because all seemed to be going in well. Urghhhh. I resigned to faith.
On the 29th of May, 2014 (my birthday), I was home alone. Funmi came to celebrate with my twin and I. We took pictures and watched a movie together. The thought of asking her out came to me again. I immediately cautioned myself from it because she already told me she wasn't interested in a relationship after eventually breaking up with her boyfriend.
Two days later, on her way from work, she decided to come over and stay with my twin and I for the rest of the day. At about 10pm, we were in the room together and my mind wouldn't let me rest. It was as though 'if I didn't ask her out, I wouldn't survive the night' so I said it the only way I could, in an un-composed way. I'm sure that was the worst speech I ever made in my entire life.
After saying my jargon, she smiled and said. "Keeenny". Immediately, I jumped up, ran out of the room to cool off. Where I was sat, a voice came to me saying "it is settled".
The following morning, as I was about going out, she told me we would talk later about it. We later talked about it and the rest is history. A story that now results in spending the rest of our lives together.

ROY BROOKS & THE ARTISTIC TRUTH - Ethnic Expressions
★Limited first edition
★with obi
Rare, spiritual and groovy, this is the ultimate live album, the pinnacle of the spiritual jazz scene! Detroit's proud drummer Roy Brooks' epic blackness is back!
Hardcore craftsman artist and drummer, who began his career in the 50s and remained at the forefront of the scene until his death in 2005, starting with the Horace Silver Combo in the early 60s and continuing with bands such as Stanley Turrentine, Youssef Latief and Charles Mingus. Roy Brooks. The drummer, who also played on Detroit's Wenden Harrison albums and was part of Max Roach's renowned M'boom project, recorded this live performance in NYC in November 1973 under the name The Artistic Truth, a group he led in the early '70s. Recorded live in NYC in November 1973 under the name of The Artistic Truth, this album easily surpasses the Baystate release in terms of quality and density. The band featured Reggie Workman (b), Olu Dara (tp), Joe Bonner (p), Cecil Bridgewater (tp), Sonny Fortune (as) and other prominent black musicians, with Eddie Jefferson joining on vocals on two tracks. This is a live document of five songs and 48 minutes of spiritual soul, packed with the raw, unrelenting groove of spiritual jazz from this era.

How to Import Goods From Vietnam
By: Tom Streissguth
uba-foto/iStock/Getty Images
How to Become an Import-Export Agent
Vietnam has become a major U.S. trading partner and an important source of clothing, shoes, furniture, agricultural goods and machinery. If your goal is to import goods from Vietnam, you have to cover several important bases before the freight arrives in your warehouse. Above all, ensure that you're complying with export-import laws on both sides of the Pacific and that all duties and tariffs are paid.
Verify Legalities
Ensure that you are importing goods in compliance with Vietnamese and U.S. law. Vietnam bans the export of arms and ammunition, relics, natural woods, wild animals, toxic chemicals and certain technologies, such as encoding software used by the government. An up-to-date list of banned exports can be found at various government and private websites, including the authoritative Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency.
Arrange for clearance of your goods through Vietnamese customs. Government agents employed at international ports such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are responsible for verifying that all taxes and duties have been paid, that the goods may be legally exported and that all paperwork -- packing lists, invoices, bills of lading and labeling -- meets the legal requirements. Many importers employ the services of a customs clearance agent in Vietnam to handle this often intricate and tedious task.
Engage a shipping agent if you are dealing in bulk products or large quantities of goods. Knowledgeable local agents will perform a wide range of useful services for U.S.-based importers. They can reserve space aboard ships, handle transshipment of goods through a Vietnamese port -- by truck or railcar to the dock -- and negotiate freight and loading and unloading charges. Shipping agents and customs agents perform very different -- and vital -- services; a shipping agent may not offer expertise in customs legalities, for example, and a customs agent won't normally engage cargo transportation.
U.S. Customs and Tariffs
Prepare U.S. customs paperwork, which is available online in English and Vietnamese, and calculate your tariff payments. Any required paperwork must be presented at the port of entry by the importer or his agent. Vietnamese goods now enjoy "nondiscriminatory" tariff rates levied by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Services. The Harmonized Tariff Schedule lays out these rates in detail; under the category "Live Animals," for example, horses and cattle are free of import duty, while chickens run 9 cents a head and goats 68 cents each. Your freight may qualify for a preferential tariff rate by the terms of a trade agreement; check the Customs and Border Protection website for current information.

Interview with Ryan Hemsworth
Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing Ryan Hemsworth over Zoom video!

The genesis of Ryan Hemsworth's new project, Quarter-Life Crisis, can be traced all the way back to his childhood bedroom in Nova Scotia, where the producer spent the bulk of his high school years listening to emerging indie acts and playing guitar. Not loving the sound of his own voice and without a band, he eventually started making music on his laptop, which earned him accolades as he stepped out into electronic and club music scenes. His prolific output, paired with a voracious appetite for a wide range of genres and creation of his own label Secret Songs, has made Hemsworth a fixture since he released his debut solo album, Guilt Trips, in 2013.
But now, Hemsworth's trying his hand at something unexpected that is nonetheless close to his heart and origin story as a musician. Quarter-Life Crisis is a collaboration with various artists who've come to prominence over the past couple of years, many of whom got their start playing scrappy DIY shows.
The self-titled debut EP was released on December 4th, 2020 via Saddle Creek and features contributions from Frances Quinlan (Hop Along), Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), Charlie Martin (Hovvdy), Yohuna, and Claud. It showcases Hemsworth in a new phase of his career, one that is perhaps a bit less indebted to the nightclub dance floor.
Collaboration is paramount to Hemsworth's process, and though he produced all of the instrumentation on the album, he left the lyrics and intention of the song up to the contributors. The resulting collection shape shifts from track-to-track, taking on new personalities as it moves between artists.
Working with musicians who largely fall into the category of "indie" gave Hemsworth the opportunity to revisit some of the artists who inspired him to become a musician in the first place. He cites bands like the Cardigans, Grandaddy, Bright Eyes, and Sparkle horse as being foundational to his writing process this time around. Quarter-Life Crisis a sharp turn away from his last project, 2019's CIRCUS CIRCUS, which he made alongside the Japanese rap duo Yurufuwa Gang, but for Hemsworth, working in a wide array of genres and modes keeps him on his toes, and ultimately, keeps his career interesting.
