Anticipation for Marvel Studios’ newest film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is at a fever pitch. While the trailers have only given a small taste of what the movie has in store, one thing’s for certain: Tenoch Huerta’s Namor is poised to be a fan favorite.As the ruler of the undersea kingdom of Talocan, Namor winds up coming into conflict with the Wakandans for some yet-to-be-revealed reason. But what has been revealed is a seemingly quite comic-accurate take on one of Marvel’s most enduring characters....

The second trailer for What If…? was released last week and it showed an insurmountable amount of new footage and implications of an ongoing story throughout the first ten episodes. Not only did fans see multiple Variants of their heroes teaming up, but the rumored villain for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have been seen, too. An additional scene not seen in the trailer was previewed by Marvel Studios Producer Victoria Alonso at the Women in Animation panel at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival....

It’s cold out there; be prepared. It’s cold out there; even in the northeast and in Canada where people are used to it, it is colder than it has been in decades. Many of our homes were not designed for this kind of cold, and it is possible or even likely that water pipes might freeze. It will be a bigger problem in the parts of the country where this kind of cold is really unusual; up north, builders don’t put pipes in outside walls, and everybody knows to shut off the hose bibs that run outside....

If you’re trying to grow a lawn as eye-catching as the field at a Major League Baseball stadium but you’re losing the fight with crabgrass, you can blame the U.S. Patent Office, circa 1849. That’s when the Patent Office was the forerunner to the Department of Agriculture as the agency responsible for approving plant introductions into the United States. It was also the year patent officials authorized the importation of a common crabgrass, called large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), one of about 60 species of crabgrass....

You’re at the park with your dog as he finds another four-legged buddy to play with. The two dogs seem to be having fun, but something feels amiss. Your dog is extra rambunctious and is really pushing the other dog around. Maybe the other dog is handling your dog’s overly rough-and-tumble attitude with patience. Or perhaps the other dog begins to hide behind or between his owner’s legs, looking for a break from your bossy dog....

In Toronto and New York, Vision Zero is just talk. It’s time for action. In Toronto where I live, a woman was killed while crossing the street by what The Star describes as “the driver of a truck.” A moment later, she was run over again. Both drivers took off. I have highlighted a couple of points in the Star’s description: Of course, the Police spokesperson is quoted in the Sun: “The truck kept going, didn’t skip a beat,” Moore said, adding it’s possible the driver was unaware a pedestrian had been hit” – already setting up a defense for the driver....

According to James Gunn, Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord isn’t Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’s only hero. While it’s true that Peter Quill was the first member of the crew that audiences met, the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise has always been an ensemble. Through two films, roles in both Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, and most recently The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, fans have seen the team grow as individuals and a family....

Warning — This article contains major spoilers for Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Zack Snyder’s Justice League has now finally been released after nearly four years of fans wanting to see the director’s vision for DC’s greatest heroes. DC fans clamored for The Snyder Cut very soon after 2017’s Justice League was finished by director Joss Whedon and released into theaters. After poor critical reviews and an underwhelming box office performance, fans were left disappointed but knew there may be a better version out there....

Marvel Studios is using Phase 4 to usher in a new era in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After multiple promotional leaks, teaser footage within sizzle reels, and some exciting interviews with the cast, fans finally have a full trailer look at Eternals Academy Award Winner Chloe Zhao is set to lead this gang of space-god-like protectors in what looks like the most visually unique MCU project to date. And while this 2-minute look at Eternals gives audiences the best look yet at the star-studded roster, there is still plenty of mystery surrounding this film....

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Episode 6 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Marvel Studios is currently reaping the rewards from its second Disney+ exclusive The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, for which the sixth and final episode just went live.

Deadpool 3 was recently reported to still be expected to be rated R like the previous two installments, which would make it the very first R-rated production from Marvel Studios. This would open the door for so many other characters like Blade and even Moon Knight, despite the latter debuting on a streaming network said by Bob Iger to be exclusively for “family-friendly” content. Just because Moon Knight won’t have gratuitous violence, like ripping someone’s face off, doesn’t mean that it can’t still explore heavier and more mature topics that Marvel Studios has yet to explore at this point....

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will feature Jonathan Majors as the MCU’s new menacing villain, Kang the Conqueror, and a new interview has shed some light on how the Marvel newcomer used past villains like Ultron and Loki as inspirations for his performance. Majors has been at the forefront of Ant-Man 3’s promotional drive through various interviews, especially after the thrilling first footage of Thanos’ bigger and more dangerous successor in the movie’s trailer....

Morbius is the next Spider-Man-related flick on Sony’s slate, following on from the bewildering financial success of both Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home. With the release date just around the corner, the marketing push is full steam ahead to get the living vampire in front of as many viewers as possible.Unfortunately for Morbius though, early reactions have been less than favorable. Critics were disappointed by the film’s inconsistent narrative, whereas responses from a fan screening ended up being even harsher towards the movie....

Marvel Studios has taken the opportunity to expand its horizons within the Marvel Cinematic Universe with introductions for a hoard of new characters. This kicked off last year with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and it continues now with Ms. Marvel as Iman Vellani’s series adds its own legacy to Marvel’s growing story. Through its first three episodes, Ms. Marvel has taken plenty of inspiration directly from Kamala Khan’s comics run as she shows her immense knowledge about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes....

This week is National Pollinator Week, which aims to increase our awareness of the importance of pollinators in our lives, and to help more of us protect and support their populations by providing essential food sources and habitats for them. One of the best ways we can do that is to create pollinator-friendly elements in our yards, gardens, and neighborhoods, which can help to enable and sustain healthy populations of these critters that are crucial to our own survival....

Organized pet thieves steal cats and dogs for two main purposes—to use as bait in dogfighting and to sell to laboratories through B dealers. Because pet theft is illegal, it is difficult to estimate the number of animals involved, but it is believed to be in the tens of thousands annually. How Are Cats and Dogs Stolen? Cats and dogs can be stolen from front yards, backyards, cars, streets, or sidewalks when the guardian goes into a store and leaves the dog tied up outside....

After making his return to the Star Wars universe in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett will give Temuera Morrison’s bounty hunter of a show of his own. Not only will the series follow up from the post-credits sequence of Din Djarin’s solo show, but it will also provide “a number of answers” about Boba Fett’s past on Tatooine. The seven-episode series sees Boba Fett teaming up with Ming-Na Wen’s Fennec Shand, as the two attempt to mop up the desert planet’s criminal underworld....

In what may be the least singular statement ever, I will tell you that lasagna is a popular thing in my house. What’s not to love? It’s the ultimate deliciously gooey comfort food and can be adapted to suit the variety of eaters in our family – vegan, vegetarian, and even the tomato-averse adult in the house....

A single 16-ounce serving generates, on average, 4.5 pounds of perfectly edible food waste. A few months ago, I wrote an article called ‘Stop Juicing. Start Eating’ that pointed out the nutritional pitfalls of drinking too much juice. Lack of fiber and too many calories in a single glass are the main issues. But there’s another side to juicing that should be considered. As pointed out by Elizabeth Royte for Modern Farmer, juicing creates tons of perfectly edible food waste....

They have their virtues, but concrete and petrochemical sandwiches shouldn’t be on the green building menu. Insulated Concrete Forms are a clever building system where two slabs of insulating foam are separated by plastic ties; you just stack them up, throw in some reinforcing bars if required, and fill with concrete. It makes a very energy efficient wall, the formwork is the insulation, and they are terrific in hurricane and tornado country....
