Cary Joji Fukunaga has been given a license to film. The director of the highly praised first series of HBO's “True Detective” was uncovered as the director of the next James Bond movie Thursday.
The 41-year-old is the first American to direct a James Bond movie and replaces(替代) the British director Danny Boyle, who give up last month naming “creative differences”.
The official James Bond Twitter account and website told Fukunaga's role in the production, which will begin filming on March 4.
Daniel Craig last starred as James Bond in 2015's “Spectre.”
“Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig announced today that Bond 25 will begin filming at Pinewood Studios on 4 March 2019 under the helm of director, Cary Joji Fukunaga with a worldwide release(发行) date of 14 February 2020,” the statement read.
“We are delighted to be working with Cary. His versatility(多才) and innovation(创新) make him an excellent choice for our next James Bond adventure,” said Wilson and Broccoli. Fukunaga most recently directed "Maniac." a dark comedy for Netflix starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill. He also directed the 2015 film “Beasts of No Nation” starring Idris Elba.
The film will be Craig's fifth and final appearance as Bond after starring in “Casino Royale,” “Quantum of Solace,” “Skyfall” and “Spectre” The film will be released on February 14, 2020.
The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max's internals are nearly the same: With each, you get a 12 megapixel camera, better-sounding speakers and the ability to pack two SIM cards into one device for international travelers or people who have to turn between a device for work and one for personal use.
The phones come with Apple's new A12 bionic chip, which helps make Face ID and games load faster. Apple played up the speed of these new phones during its product announcement, and they are fast. But so were the models before them.
Both models feature beautiful OLED screens that make watching videos, especially on the XS Max, totally surprising.
Battery life is also improved on both devices. Apple (AAPL) says you can spare about 30 minutes longer on the XS compared to last year's X, and 90 minutes longer on the Max. It's not a game changer, but we'll take any extra minutes we can get.
There is one major difference between the iPhone XS and XS Max: size. The Max is unquestionably big, but it's technically the same size as the iPhone 8 Plus. The edge-to-edge screen creates the illusion(幻想)the device itself is 21% larger than its predecessor, but it'll fit in your hands just as easily (or not) as older Plus models.
But it's hard to shake the feeling that the device is big just to be big. Unlike the Samsung (SSNLF) Galaxy Note or the iPad, the XS Max doesn't support many features tailored for bigger screens, such as another row of apps or a side-by-side display that lets you use two apps at once. It's a missed opportunity.
The real star of the new models is the camera. A new feature called Smart HDR shoots a four-frame object taken at different exposures and settings and mixes them together to create more detailed shots — similar to an existing feature on the Google Pixel 2.
But the likely fan favorite feature is a change to the iPhone's Portrait Mode that lets you change the depth of a photo after you take it, allowing you to have more creative control. For example, you can snap a shot of a friend on a beach and change the background for an artsy feel. If you decide later you want to see more of the ocean, you can change the background via the edit button.
It's an impressive feature, but the results also depend on your photo skills and the lighting. When it's good, it's really good. When it's not, you'll still get a good-looking picture. The Pixel 2 and Samsung Galaxy S9 offer a similar feature, too.
The XS and XS Max come with headphones, but unlike last year, you won't find an adapter included in the box. This means you'll need to spend $9 more if you want to use an old pair of headphones. It's Apple's way of saying it's finally time to get over the fact there's no longer a headphone jack.
Flying insects are polluting new environments by eating microplastics in polluted waters and carrying them through the air, a new study has found.
UK researchers found that microplastics -- pieces of plastic less than 5 millimeters in size -- remain in the bodies of mosquitoes and other waterborne insects even after they become flying adults.
The findings mean that pollution from plastics being dumped into our oceans is being carried into the air, and raises concerns that birds and other creatures that eat the insects are also being polluted.
The team from the University of Reading in England and Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland, inserted two minuscule pieces of polystyrene, each weighing just over one gram per cubic centimeter, into young mosquitoes and observed the insects throughout their life cycles. They found that the particles did not disappear from the mosquitoes' systems after the insects moved between life stages and started to fly, and were present inside the fully formed insects. “When the microplastics become the adults, it represents a potential aerial pathway to pollution of new environments,” the authors wrote in the study.
“Thus, any organism that feeds on terrestrial life phases of freshwater insects could be affected by MPs found in aquatic ecosystems ( 水生态系统),” they added, using an abbreviation for microplastics. Freshwater insects such as mosquitoes are eaten by birds, amphibians, insects and fish, according to the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States. More than 150 million tons of plastic are floating in the world's oceans, with an additional eight million tons entering every year, according to the World Economic Forum. Plastic can be eaten by fish, birds and marine mammals, and can damage marine ecosystems such as coral reefs.
“This disturbing study raises real concerns about the spread of plastic pollution: it really is present everywhere, not just the marine environment,” said plastic pollution campaigner Emma Priestland from the charity Friends of the Earth.
“Knowing that plastic can be moved from the larval stage to the adult mosquito, which then serves as food to a multitude of larger animals, highlights the urgency with which we need to.”
A study from 2015 estimated that the total amount of floating plastic in the oceans could triple by 2025.
The trade fight between the United States and China increased Monday as the two economic superpowers hit each other with their biggest round of tariffs ( 关 税 ) yet. The Trump administration added new 10% tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods just after midnight ET (noon in Beijing), coveringing thousands of products, including food seasonings, baseball gloves, network routers and industrial machinery parts. China fired back immediately with new taxes of 5% to 10% on $60 billion of US goods such as meat, chemicals, clothes and auto parts. The moves lead to the growing conflict between the world's top two economies.
“We are squarely in the midst of the 'it'll get worse before it gets better' phase,” Aninda Mitra, senior analyst at BNY Mellon Investment Management, said in a note after the latest tariffs were announced last week. President Donald Trump's waves of new tariffs on China now apply to over $250 billion of Chinese goods, roughly half the amount the country sells to the United States. The latest round affects thousands of products bought by US consumers, including hundreds of millions of dollars of furniture and electronics imports (电子进口). The US tariffs added earlier in the year mostly hit industrial goods.
The measures are meant to punish China for what the Trump administration says are unfair trade practices, such as intellectual property (知识产权) theft.
Beijing has rejected ( 拒 绝 ) the US assertions ( 断 言 ), accusing the United States of protectionism and bullying. It has fired back with tariffs on American goods worth more than $110 billion.
The Trump administration has made “false accusations” and sought to “add its own interests on China through great pressure,” the Chinese government said in a lengthy white paper published Monday about the two countries' trade relationship, according to state news agency Xinhua. Unbelievably, the latest round of US tariffs is set to increase at the end of the year from 10% to 25%. China hasn't yet spelled out how it will respond to that.
Trump has also threatened ( 威胁) tariffs on another $267 billion of Chinese products. That would mean the US measures effectively cover all China's annual goods exports ( 出 口 ) to the United States (the total for 2017 was about $506 billion).
China, which imports a far smaller amount from the United States, is running out of new products to target, but analysts say it still has other options to fire back. They include charging even higher tariffs, adding import quotas, limiting Chinese citizens' travel to the United States for study and tourism, and reducing taxes for companies affected by the tariffs.
At a meeting of the State Council, China's Cabinet, on Tuesday, Premier Li Keqiang said it is important to keep the social insurance premium(保险费) policy stable(稳定), which to a large extent has eased people's worries at a time when a new regulation on premium collection has aroused public concern.
The general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council recently issued a reform plan for tax collection, which includes pension, medical, unemployment, occupational injury and maternity insurance will be uniformly collected by the taxation authorities from Jan 1, 2019.
In fact, the taxation authorities have been collecting social insurance premiums for more than one decade. Social insurance premiums in 19 provinces and regions are collected by the local taxation authorities.
In particular, companies have expressed concern over the uniform collection of social insurance premium by taxation authorities mainly for three reasons.
First, the new regulation indicates the reform of the collecting system as a result of institutional reform of the State Council. The companies are worried especially because they believe compulsory collection of social insurance premium will increase their expenditure on social insurance.
Second, since the taxation authorities are fully in charge of social insurance premium collection, the companies fear that the establishment of a new collection system will prevent enterprises escaping paying the social insurance premium.
Third, the media have reported that lately the local authorities in provinces such as Jiangsu, Heilongjiang and Hubei have been ordering enterprises to pay the arrears ( 欠 款 ) in social insurance premium they should have paid in the past years.
These factors have increased the companies' concern over the new premium-collection regulation. Some people assume the reform will increase the companies' cost, and some companies have even begun to lay off employees fearing that “winter is coming”.
Thanks to the current premium-collection system, the companies have managed to not pay a huge amount of social insurance premium. Take urban workers' basic pension insurance for example. It is estimated that the companies have paid only about two-thirds of the total amount of social insurance premium. Calculating on the basis of the data for 2017, this year the actual social insurance premium collection is 3.34 trillion yuan ($487.71 billion), while the total amount should be 5.08 trillion yuan. The due amount is more than one-third of the total that should have been paid.
