Month: November 2015

The first trailer for Captain America: Civil War is here. It’s Iron Man vs. Captain America and holy crap this looks awesome.

Directed by the Russo Brothers, the film opens May 6. It’s some time after the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron and the world thinks superheroes need some kind of supervision. Iron Man agrees, Captain America does not, and that divides the heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe right down the middle.

While this first trailer is heavy on the Captain America stuff – Falcon, Widow, Bucky – there’s a whole other side to this movie too. There’s Iron Man, War Machine, the first appearance of Black Panther (who gets a few brief shots in the trailer), as well as Ant-Man, Vision and pretty much everyone minus the Guardians, Hulk and Thor.

And we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention your friendly neighborhood webslinger too, Spider-Man, who’ll appear in this movie played by Tom Holland.

I mean, this is basically Avengers 3 years before Avengers 3 is actually getting made and this trailer only tells a sliver of the story.

Oh, here’s the poster too.

And some awesome GIFS

That’s Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) kicking Bucky/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan)

Here’s Falcon (Anthony Mackie) with some nifty moves.

And here’s Bucky and Cap fighting Iron Man at the same time.

Earlier this month, on November 5, two dams retaining tons of iron-mining waste near the Brazilian town of Bento Rodrigues burst, releasing a massive flood of thick, red toxic mud that flattened buildings and trees, smothered the small town, and left at least six dead. The wave of toxic sludge—tested and found to contain high levels of mercury and arsenic, according to a BBC report—then moved downstream, into the Rio Doce (Doce River), and spent two weeks making its way several hundred miles downstream, finally reaching the Atlantic Ocean. According to Reuters: “Scientists say the sediment, which may contain chemicals used by the mine to reduce iron ore impurities, could alter the course of streams as they harden, reduce oxygen levels in the water and diminish the fertility of riverbanks and farmland where floodwater passed.”

Google’s Got a Fantastic New Star Wars Easter Egg 

A strong leader knows that different team members often require different communication tactics, and the “DiSC” behavior assessment system might help you speak everyone’s language and get through to them.

The DiSC behavior assessment is based on the theories of psychologist William Moulton Marston, and it centers on four major behavioral traits that everyone has on some level in the workplace: dominance, influence, compliance, and steadiness. The graphic below from Eastern Nazarene College’s business management masters program explains how to determine what behavioral traits your team members have, how they prefer to work and communicate, and most importantly, how to provide feedback to each type of person. For example, if you’re dealing with someone that has a lot of dominance (they’re competitive, decisive, and independent), direct compliments are a great way to praise them and criticism needs to be very specific. Check it out below to learn more.

The crew of the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower showed that they’re just as excited as us for Star Wars: The Force Awakens with this parody of the movie’s teaser. Can you still call it a sweded trailer if it has actual fighter planes in it?
