Ezra Miller S The Flash Reportedly Cutting Reverse Flash From Main Villain Role

The Flash is said to take inspiration from the Flashpoint comic book storyline, but director Andy Muschietti says it will not be the Flashpoint fans may expect.

How To Become A Geo Traveler

Tourism should always sustain and enhance the distinctive geographical character of a place, and that requires cooperation from tourists. The first time I heard about ‘geotourism’ was last summer, while traveling in Alberta. I picked up a map of the Rocky Mountains at a tourist information center. Made by National Geographic, the “Crown of the Continent” map doubled as a geotourism guidebook, explaining where to go and how to have the most eco-minded, sustainable, local experience possible in the region....

How To Build A Self Watering Raised Garden Bed From Scavenged Materials

One effective method of gardening in a spot with subpar soil is to build a raised bed, and as these videos show, they can also be built from scraps, and in a way that allows the garden beds to water themselves. Trying to grow food in a spot with low quality soil is a fairly common gardening challenge, especially in backyards of new constructed homes, where any topsoil has been scraped off before the construction begins....

Is A Net Zero Energy Building Really The Right Target

The phrase Net-zero energy or Zero-carbon has always troubled me. I have noted that I can make my tent net-zero energy if I have enough money for solar panels, but that’s not necessarily a sustainable model. Others have been troubled by the concept as well; Passive House consultant Bronwyn Barry writes in the NYPH blog: " I’m betting that our currently mythical ‘Net Zero Energy Homes’ – however one defines that empty integer – will be buried in a marketing graveyard somewhere....

Three years after Disney completed its acquisition of Fox, Marvel Studios has finally begun to plant the seeds for the arrival of the X-Men as Ms. Marvel revealed Kamala Khan as the MCU’s first.

Moon Knight Star Reveals Doctor Strange Crossover Hopes

The next Disney+ series by Marvel Studios is none other than Moon Knight. The show stars Oscar Isaac’s Steven Grant as he starts to experience troublesome events that begin to make him believe he is going insane; which is understandable. Who wouldn’t think the same when one seemingly develops an alternate persona who goes out in a moon-inspired costume to dole out justice for an Egyptian God? The leading character isn’t the only important part of the upcoming project....

Say Hello To The Goliath Birdeater Spider

Despite its name, this enormous spider is a gentle giant of sorts. The Goliath birdeater spider (Theraphosa blondi) can have a leg span of 11 inches. Only the giant huntsman spider has a longer leg span. But T. blondi beats out every other spider for mass, weighing up to 6 ounces. Imagine holding this eight-legged, dinner plate-sized creature in your hand! The species has poor eyesight and relies on the hairs on its legs and abdomen to sense what’s going on around it....

Why I Spent 1200 On A Toilet Seat And Why You Should Too

In his 1966 book The Bathroom, Alexander Kira goes on at great length at how useless toilet paper is at actually cleaning our rear ends. He quotes a British study that found that 44% of men had stained underwear, and concludes that “we are primarily concerned with the appearance of cleanliness… What we cannot see or directly experience or what others cannot readily see, we ignore.” He recommended the use of a bidet, but regretted that in North America, it was almost unknown or identified with sexual immorality....

Are Hummingbird Feeders Safe For The Birds

Hummingbird feeders are hard to miss. They’re designed that way to entice hummingbirds to visit. But it’s easy to forget about maintaining the feeder. Sure, you refill it, but do you clean it? If not, are you doing more harm than good for the tiny birds? Rest a little easy if you’re lax about cleaning it. A study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, finds that hummingbird feeders probably aren’t the source of pathogens that could harm the birds or even other animals, but you should still clean the feeder on a regular basis....
