His first appearance was in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avengers alongside his childhood friend Steve Rogers, and he’s been going strong ever since. From being a best friend to a brainwashed enemy, and back to an ally, the one-armed character has had quite the journey.

There may be no more perfect food than the avocado, at once utterly decadent but decidedly healthy; an opinion backed by the fact that 1.6 billion avocados were consumed in the United States in 2012. During the Super Bowl alone, 12 million pounds of avocados were transformed into guacamole; Cinco de Mayo and Independence Day see even more of the chunky green dip being devoured. We have become a nation of guacamole lovers....

Even though he hasn’t had a solo movie since 2008, Bruce Banner has had quite the journey across the MCU. He has gone from a giant, rage-filled brute with a propensity for large-scale destruction to the quieter, more reserved Smart Hulk, a fusion of both the Banner and Hulk halves. And now, Bruce is back alongside his cousin Jennifer Walters in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, a series that sees Jen inadvertently absorb some of Bruce’s gamma-irradiated blood and become a Hulk herself....

If your house is anything like mine, mornings are rapid and sometimes chaotic....

It’s impossible to explore Star Wars’ storied history without noting the remarkable accomplishments of Industrial Light & Magic. The visual effects company founded by George Lucas in 1975 is responsible for thousands of breathtaking shots in the galaxy far, far away, allowing for The Maker’s vision to become a reality. Work has been outsourced to ILM for countless iconic projects over the last several decades, many of which audiences would never realize....

When gardeners head to nurseries in the coming weeks, a significant number of the ornamental plants on display won’t be native to North America. At least 50 percent of woody plant species from U.S. wholesale growers are not native to North America, according to a report by Virginia Cooperative Extension. On retail nursery benches, however, the ratio of non-natives to natives is more of a mystery. “There is no number like that I am aware of,” Joe Bischoff, former director of government relations with the American Nursery and Landscape Association (now known as AmericanHort), told MNN in 2013....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to cap off the main trilogy of Peter Quill and his ragtag team of misfits, but doing so requires them to face a maniacal new MCU villain that was revealed in its new trailer. While the discussion surrounding Vol. 3 has been centered around the last adventure of this iteration of the Guardians, the attention has slowly been shifting to its main villain, the High Evolutionary, who is a character portrayed by Peacemaker actor Chuduwuki Iwuji....

From sun requirements to soil type, here are the important things to consider when choosing a location to grow your own food. Growing our own produce has got to be one of the more empowering things we can do. It creates the most eco-friendly, least costly, freshest, healthiest, and most delicious food; and importantly, gives the home gardener control over how what they eat was produced. Farmer’s markets are great for people who have access to them, but many do not and having a garden is a good antidote to having to rely on big ag and a convoluted food system....

After years of live-action Star Wars being strictly reserved for the big-screen, Lucasfilm broke new ground with The Mandalorian as it took the galaxy far, far away to Disney+. While television projects are generally much less visually impressive than theatrical releases, the blockbuster series perfectly matched the visual spectacles of the sci-fi franchise. Following two critically acclaimed seasons, The Mandalorian has been praised by the Star Wars fandom for fulling characters from many forms of media to tell its original story....

Marvel Studios inches closer and closer to Chris Hemsworth’s return as the God of Thunder in July’s Thor: Love and Thunder, the fourth solo movie since he started the original Avenger in 2011.

These are very common in Europe but new to North America. We need a lot more of them. Accepted wisdom in North America is that the Passive House standard is just for houses, too expensive, and too hard. Many people ask, “Why bother when you can pop a solar panel on top and get Net Zero?” That accepted wisdom got challenged last year with the big House at Cornell Tech, and another kick was delivered with the recent opening of The Heights in Vancouver by Cornerstone Architects....
