The insects will infiltrate a much bigger geographical area than similar occurrences in most years because they’re part of the dual emergence of two particular periodical cicada broods. Although the full-scale emergence isn’t underway yet, experts have some guidance on how to prepare for cicada season. A periodical cicada that has just shed its outer skeleton crawls among holes dug by emerging cicada nymphs on May 20, 2021, in Takoma Park, Maryland. A young tree in Takoma Park, Maryland, is draped in netting in May 2021 to protect its small branches from being damaged by periodical cicadas laying their eggs in them. It’s not clear why periodical cicadas evolved to emerge every 13 or 17 years.

Coach Allister Coetzee has long targeted this fixture as the one to break his team’s unwanted record run of 25 consecutive losses in the World Cup since they made their debut in 1999. "The players know what a win means for the country, it can change a lot. Prop Johan Coetzee and wing Gerswin Mouton are therefore the only players to have started all four matches in France. Namibia lost 26-18 to Uruguay in Montevideo last month and Coetzee believes that elusive World Cup win is there for the taking.

(foto) Cel mai nou trend în materie de hairstyle pe Instagram: rădăcinile acoperite cu sclipiciVopsirea părului în culori stridente precum argintiu, albastru marin, roz sau curcubeu este mereu o mișcare destul de îndrăzneață. Dar atunci când rădăcinile încep să se remarce, ce metodă ar trebui să adopți? O nouă tendință a luat amploare pe Instagram și ne oferă o soluție inedită – acoperirea rădăcinilor cu sclipici. Femeile nonconformiste au adoptat rapid această modă pentru a distrage atenția de la diferența de nuanță din părul lor, în timp ce alții consideră că arată inestetic și că se aseamănă prea mult cu mătreața. Voi ce credeți?
