A mysterious poster depicting Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as Captain America, a skinny kid turned comic super hero, appeared last Tuesday in Moscow causing Kremlin irritation.
Wearing a black leather jacket and leather gloves, the Russian president is shown in a spoof movie poster for Captain America: The First Avenger, a movie which hit US screens earlier last month.
The words “Captain Russia: The First Ruler” are emblazoned across the Moscow poster.

Instead of a shield the comic superhero holds in the movie poster, the Russian president is depicted with a huge iPad in his hands.
The Kremlin and the government have been touchy about attempts to hijack the images of Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
A Kremlin official, speaking on condition of anonymity, called the stunt “some sort of stupidity.”
The movie Captain America: The First Avenger tells the story of a skinny kid who is selected for a top secret process which transforms him into a hero with the body of a Greek god who is sent on a mission to fight against the Nazis.

上周二在莫斯科讓克里姆林宮跳腳的，是一張將俄羅斯總統德米崔‧麥維德夫變裝成「美國隊長」的神秘海報。「美國隊長」是位身材瘦小卻躍身成為超級英雄的漫畫人物。
俄羅斯總統穿戴黑色皮夾克與皮手套，呈現在一幅類似上個月初才在美國上映的電影《美國隊長：復仇者聯盟》的惡搞模仿海報。
「俄羅斯隊長：首位統治者」的文字，則橫跨這張在莫斯科出現的海報上。
不同於漫畫超級英雄在電影海報上手持的盾形徽章，俄羅斯總統則是雙手拿著巨大的iPad。
此類試圖冒用麥德維夫與俄羅斯總理弗拉吉米爾‧普廷照片的行徑，已踩到克里姆林宮與俄羅斯政府的敏感神經。
一位不願透露姓名的克里姆林宮官員則說此花招為「某種形式的愚蠢」。

Many of us face common health challenges: tired eyes from long screen use, the search for anti-aging support and the need for weight control without resorting to restrictive diets. While no single food is a miracle cure, berries offer targeted, evidence-based nutritional support that’s easy and delicious to add to your daily routine. For overall immunity and healthy skin, vitamin C is essential. Strawberries provide roughly 10 percent more vitamin C than oranges, while blackcurrants deliver three to four times as much. These tasty fruits also contain abundant polyphenols, which help the body manage oxidative stress, support overall
Concertgoers know the rush all too well — the moment the first notes play, your heart races, and nothing else seems to matter. For many, the excitement doesn’t end when the lights come back on. Some fans try to relive the performance by listening to the same songs for days afterward. __1__ A few days after an amazing show, they begin to feel unexpectedly low. Psychologists have coined a term for this phenomenon: “post-concert depression,” or “PCD.” PCD is primarily related to hormone levels. When you’re at a concert, the excitement causes your brain to release feel-good chemicals like
A new study suggests that chimpanzees can weigh evidence and make rational judgments. In the experiment, researchers placed two boxes in front of the chimpanzees. One box was set up to give strong evidence, such as letting the chimpanzees actually see food inside. The other was designed to provide weak evidence, like producing a rattling sound when it was shaken. The chimps consistently chose the box with strong evidence, even when the weaker clue appeared first. This indicated that they were not fooled by the order of presentation. In another trial where no strong evidence was available, the chimps
Handing down a name over generations is a central part of the Japanese traditional theater art of Kabuki, and that ceremony gets celebrated at theaters and special events every few years. Now, the ritual is taking place with the eighth Kikugoro, who is having that honor passed down from his 83-year-old father, the seventh Kikugoro, who in turn got that name from his father. “Taking on the name is about taking on the spirit and responsibility that’s created and getting passed down over generations by those who came before us,” the younger Kikugoro, Kazuyasu Terajima, told reporters recently.
