The cane beetle, Dermolepida albohirtum, is a native Australian beetle and a pest of the sugar cane. Adult beetles eat the leaves of sugar cane but greater damage is done by their larvae hatching underground and eating the roots, which either kills or stunts the growth of the plant. The grub feeds off the roots of the sugar cane during all three stages of its life. The third stage occurs during February to May where it aggressively feeds on the sugar cane���s roots.
The cane beetle, Dermolepida albohirtum, is a native Australian beetle and a pest of the sugar cane. Adult beetles eat the leaves of sugar cane but greater damage is done by their larvae hatching underground and eating the roots, which either kills or stunts the growth of the plant. The grub feeds off the roots of the sugar cane during all three stages of its life. The third stage occurs during February to May where it aggressively feeds on the sugar cane���s roots. This is where they cause the most damage to the plant.The grub burrows down to turn into a pupa once it is fully fed after 3���4 months of aggressive feeding. The pupa develops into a beetle within a month. The beetles do not emerge from the soil until the weather conditions are adequate.Larvae, which are known as greyback cane grubs, are small white grubs.Adult beetles are white with speckles of black and often smell like rotten pork.Female beetles lay their eggs in the soil of sugar cane about 20���45 cm deep generally choosing the tallest cane. A female beetle can lay up to 3 clutches, 20-30 eggs per clutch.The beetles can also found in the Philippines and are known by the local name salagubang.Methods of control include applications of Metarhizium anisopliae. The greyback cane beetle was, along with the Frenchi cane beetle, Lepidiota frenchi, the reason that the cane toad (Rhinella marina) was introduced in Australia. The cane toad was supposed to combat the beetles, to protect the sugar cane. However, it didn't, and became a major pest.Pest control against Cane Beetles also damages a large variety of other insects and invertebrates that can be beneficial to the ecosystem thus preventing the use of pesticides.

John "Jack" Rackham (26 December 1682 ��� 18 November 1720), commonly known as Calico Jack, was an English pirate captain operating in the Bahamas and in Cuba during the early 18th century. (Rackham is often spelled as Rackam or Rackum in historical documentation, and he is also often referred to as Jack Rackham.) His nickname was derived from the calico clothing that he wore, while Jack is a nickname for "John".Rackham was active towards the end (1718���1720) of the "Golden Age of Piracy" which lasted from 1650 to 1730. He is most remembered for two things: the design of his Jolly Roger flag, a skull with crossed swords, which contributed to the popularization of the design, and for having two female crew members: Mary Read and his lover Anne Bonny.Rackham deposed Charles Vane from his position as captain of the sloop Ranger, then cruised the Leeward Islands, Jamaica Channel, and Windward Passage. He accepted a pardon some time in 1719 and moved to New Providence, where he met Anne Bonny, who was married to James Bonny at the time. He returned to piracy in 1720 by stealing a British sloop, and Anne joined him. Their new crew included Mary Read, who was disguised as a man at the time. After a short run, Rackham was captured by Royal Navy pirate hunter Jonathan Barnet in 1720, and was hanged in November of that year in Port Royal, Jamaica.Beyonc�� Giselle Knowles-Carter (/bi����j��nse��/; born September 4, 1981)[3][4][5][6] is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, she performed in various singing and dancing competitions as a child and rose to fame in the late 1990s as lead singer of R&B girl-group Destiny's Child. Managed by her father, Mathew Knowles, the group became one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. Their hiatus saw the release of Beyonc��'s debut album, Dangerously in Love (2003), which established her as a solo artist worldwide, earned five Grammy Awards and featured the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy".Following the disbandment of Destiny's Child in 2006, she released her second solo album, B'Day (2006), which contained hits "D��j�� Vu", "Irreplaceable", and "Beautiful Liar".

Solange and Beyonc�� are the first sisters to have both had No. 1 albums.[25] Mathew is African American, while Tina is of Louisiana Creole descent (African, Native American, and French).[24][26][27][28] Through her mother, Beyonc�� is a descendant of Acadian leader Joseph Broussard.[26]Beyonc�� attended St. Mary's Montessori School in Houston, where she enrolled in dance classes. Her singing talent was discovered when dance instructor Darlette Johnson began humming a song and she finished it, able to hit the high-pitched notes.[29] Beyonc��'s interest in music and performing continued after winning a school talent show at age seven, singing John Lennon's "Imagine" to beat 15/16-year-olds.[30][31] In fall of 1990, Beyonc�� enrolled in Parker Elementary School, a music magnet school in Houston, where she would perform with the school's choir.[32] She also attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts[33] and later Alief Elsik High School.[24][34] Beyonc�� was also a member of the choir at St. John's United Methodist Church as a soloist for two years.[35]When Beyonc�� was eight, she and childhood friend Kelly Rowland met LaTavia Roberson while in an audition for an all-girl entertainment group.[36] They were placed into a group with three other girls as Girl's Tyme, and rapped and danced on the talent show circuit in Houston.[37] After seeing the group, R&B producer Arne Frager brought them to his Northern California studio and placed them in Star Search, the largest talent show on national TV at the time. Girl's Tyme failed to win, and Beyonc�� later said the song they performed was not good.[38][39]In 1995 Beyonc��'s father resigned from his job to manage the group.[40] The move reduced Beyonc��'s family's income by half, and her parents were forced to move into separated apartments.[24] Mathew cut the original line-up to four and the group continued performing as an opening act for other established R&B girl groups.[36] The girls auditioned before record labels and were finally signed to Elektra Records, moving to Atlanta Records briefly to work on their first recording, only to be cut by the company.[24] This put further strain on the family, and Beyonc��'s parents separated. On October 5, 1995, Dwayne Wiggins's Grass Roots Entertainment signed the group. In 1996, the girls began recording their debut album under an agreement with Sony Music, the Knowles family reunited, and shortly after, the group got a contract with Columbia Records.[30]Career 1997���2002: Destiny's Child Main article: Destiny's Child The group changed their name to Destiny's Child in 1996, based upon a passage in the Book of Isaiah.[41] In 1997, Destiny's Child released their major label debut song "Killing Time" on the soundtrack to the 1997 film, Men in Black.[39] The following year, the group released their self-titled debut album,[38] scoring their first major hit "No, No, No". The album established the group as a viable act in the music industry, with moderate sales and winning the group three Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards for Best R&B/Soul Album of the Year, Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist, and Best R&B/Soul Single for "No, No, No". The group released their Multi-Platinum second album The Writing's on the Wall in 1999. The record features some of the group's most widely known songs such as "Bills, Bills, Bills", the group's first number-one single, "Jumpin' Jumpin'" and "Say My Name", which became their most successful song at the time, and would remain one of their signature songs. "Say My Name" won the Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and the Best R&B Song at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards.[36] The Writing's on the Wall sold more than eight million copies worldwide.[38] During this time, Beyonc�� recorded a duet with Marc Nelson, an original member of Boyz II Men, on the song "After All Is Said and Done" for the soundtrack to the 1999 film, The Best Man.[42]LeToya Luckett and Roberson became unhappy with Mathew's managing of the band and eventually were replaced by Farrah Franklin and Michelle Williams.[36] Beyonc�� experienced depression following the split with Luckett and Roberson after being publicly blamed by the media, critics, and blogs for its cause.[43] Her long-standing boyfriend left her at this time.[44] The depression was so severe it lasted for a couple of years, during which she occasionally kept herself in her bedroom for days and refused to eat anything.[45] Beyonc�� stated that she struggled to speak about her depression because Destiny's Child had just won their first Grammy Award and she feared no one would take her seriously.[46] Beyonc�� would later speak of her mother as the person who helped her fight it.[45] Franklin was dismissed, leaving just Beyonc��, Rowland, and Williams.[47]The remaining band members recorded "Independent Women Part I", which appeared on the soundtrack to the 2000 film Charlie's Angels. It became their best-charting single, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for eleven consecutive weeks.[36] In early 2001, while Destiny's Child was completing their third album, Beyonc�� landed a major role in the MTV made-for-television film, Carmen: A Hip Hopera, starring alongside American actor Mekhi Phifer. Set in Philadelphia, the film is a modern interpretation of the 19th-century opera Carmen by French composer Georges Bizet.[48] When the third album Survivor was released in May 2001, Luckett and Roberson filed a lawsuit claiming that the songs were aimed at them.[36] The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 663,000 copies sold.[49] The album spawned other number-one hits, "Bootylicious" and the title track, "Survivor", the latter of which earned the group a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.[50] After releasing their holiday album 8 Days of Christmas in October 2001, the group announced a hiatus to further pursue solo careers.[36]In July 2002, Beyonc�� continued her acting career playing Foxxy Cleopatra alongside Mike Myers in the comedy film Austin Powers in Goldmember,[51] which spent its first weekend atop the US box office and grossed $73 million.[52] Beyonc�� released "Work It Out" as the lead single from its soundtrack album which entered the top ten in the UK, Norway, and Belgium.[53] In 2003, Beyonc�� starred opposite Cuba Gooding, Jr., in the musical comedy The Fighting Temptations as Lilly, a single mother with whom Gooding's character falls in love.[54] The film received mixed reviews from critics but grossed $30 million in the U.S.[55][56] Beyonc�� released "Fighting Temptation" as the lead single from the film's soundtrack album, with Missy Elliott, MC Lyte, and Free which was also used to promote the film.[57] Another of Beyonc��'s contributions to the soundtrack, "Summertime", fared better on the US charts.[58]2003���2007: Dangerously in Love and B'Day A woman, flanked by two male dancers, holds a microphone in one hand as she dances Beyonc�� performing "Baby Boy", which spent nine consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart[59] Beyonc��'s first solo recording was a feature on Jay Z's "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" that was released in October 2002, peaking at number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.[60] Her first solo album Dangerously in Love was released on June 24, 2003, after Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland had released their solo efforts.[61] The album sold 317,000 copies in its first week, debuted atop the Billboard 200,[62] and has since sold 11 million copies worldwide.[63] The album's lead single, "Crazy in Love", featuring Jay Z, became Beyonc��'s first number-one single as a solo artist in the US.[64] The single "Baby Boy" also reached number one,[59] and singles, "Me, Myself and I" and "Naughty Girl", both reached the top-five.[65] The album earned Beyonc�� a then record-tying five awards at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards; Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Dangerously in Love 2", Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Crazy in Love", and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "The Closer I Get to You" with Luther Vandross.[66]A woman stands with a microphone Beyonc�� performing "Listen" from the motion picture Dreamgirls during The Beyonc�� Experience tour. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance as Deena Jones in the film. In November 2003, she embarked on the Dangerously in Love Tour in Europe and later toured alongside Missy Elliott and Alicia Keys for the Verizon Ladies First Tour in North America.[67] On February 1, 2004, Beyonc�� performed the American national anthem at Super Bowl XXXVIII, at the Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas.[68] After the release of Dangerously in Love, Beyonc�� had planned to produce a follow-up album using several of the left-over tracks. However, this was put on hold so she could concentrate on recording Destiny Fulfilled, the final studio album by Destiny's Child.[69] Released on November 15, 2004, in the US[70] and peaking at number two on the Billboard 200,[71][72] Destiny Fulfilled included the singles "Lose My Breath" and "Soldier", which reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[73] Destiny's Child embarked on a worldwide concert tour, Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It and during the last stop of their European tour, in Barcelona on June 11, 2005, Rowland announced that Destiny's Child would disband following the North American leg of the tour.[74] The group released their first compilation album Number 1's on October 25, 2005, in the US[75] and accepted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March 2006.[76]Beyonc��'s second solo album B'Day was released on September 4, 2006, in the US, to coincide with her twenty-fifth birthday.[77] It sold 541,000 copies in its first week and debuted atop the Billboard 200, becoming Beyonc��'s second consecutive number-one album in the United States.[78] The album's lead single "D��j�� Vu", featuring Jay Z, reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[65] The second international single "Irreplaceable" was a commercial success worldwide, reaching number one in Australia, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand and the United States.[65][79] B'Day also produced three other singles; "Ring the Alarm",[80] "Get Me Bodied",[81] and "Green Light" (released in the United Kingdom only).[82]Her first acting role of 2006 was in the comedy film The Pink Panther starring opposite Steve Martin,[83] grossing $158.8 million at the box office worldwide.[84] Her second film Dreamgirls, the film version of the 1981 Broadway musical[85] loosely based on The Supremes, received acclaim from critics and grossed $154 million internationally.[86][87][88] In it, she starred opposite Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, and Eddie Murphy playing a pop singer based on Diana Ross.[89] To promote the film, Beyonc�� released "Listen" as the lead single from the soundtrack album.[90] In April 2007, Beyonc�� embarked on The Beyonc�� Experience, her first worldwide concert tour, visiting 97 venues[91] and grossed over $24 million.[note 1] Beyonc�� conducted pre-concert food donation drives during six major stops in conjunction with her pastor at St. John's and America's Second Harvest. At the same time, B'Day was re-released with five additional songs, including her duet with Shakira "Beautiful Liar".[93]2008���2010: Marriage, I Am... Sasha Fierce, and films A woman stands looking out to a crowd Beyonc�� performing "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" during the I Am... World Tour. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, earned the Grammy Award for Song of the Year and spawned the Internet's first major dance craze. On April 4, 2008, Beyonc�� married Jay Z.[94] She publicly revealed their marriage in a video montage at the listening party for her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce, in Manhattan's Sony Club on October 22, 2008.[95] I Am... Sasha Fierce was released on November 18, 2008, in the United States.[96] The album formally introduces Beyonc��'s alter ego Sasha Fierce, conceived during the making of her 2003 single "Crazy in Love". It was met with generally mediocre reviews from critics,[97] but sold 482,000 copies in its first week, debuting atop the Billboard 200, and giving Beyonc�� her third consecutive number-one album in the US.[98] The album featured the number-one song "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"[99] and the top-five songs "If I Were a Boy" and "Halo".[65][100] Achieving the accomplishment of becoming her longest-running Hot 100 single in her career,[101] "Halo"'s success in the US helped Beyonc�� attain more top-ten singles on the list than any other woman during the 2000s.[102] It also included the successful "Sweet Dreams",[103] and singles "Diva", "Ego", "Broken-Hearted Girl" and "Video Phone". The music video for "Single Ladies" has been parodied and imitated around the world, spawning the "first major dance craze" of the Internet age according to the Toronto Star.[104] The video has won several awards, including Best Video at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards,[105] the 2009 Scottish MOBO Awards,[106] and the 2009 BET Awards.[107] At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the video was nominated for nine awards, ultimately winning three including Video of the Year.[108] Its failure to win the Best Female Video category, which went to American country pop singer Taylor Swift's "You Belong with Me", led to Kanye West interrupting the ceremony and Beyonc�� improvising a re-presentation of Swift's award during her own acceptance speech.[108] In March 2009, Beyonc�� embarked on the I Am... World Tour, her second headlining worldwide concert tour, consisting of 108 shows, grossing $119.5 million.[109]Beyonc�� further expanded her acting career, starring as blues singer Etta James in the 2008 musical biopic Cadillac Records.

Although the film received negative reviews from critics,[115] the movie did well at the US box office, grossing $68 million���$60 million more than Cadillac Records[116]���on a budget of $20 million.[117] The fight scene finale between Sharon and the character played by Ali Larter also won the 2010 MTV Movie Award for Best Fight.[118]At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, Beyonc�� received ten nominations, including Album of the Year for I Am... Sasha Fierce, Record of the Year for "Halo", and Song of the Year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", among others.[119] She tied with Lauryn Hill for most Grammy nominations in a single year by a female artist.[120] Knowles went on to win six of those nominations, breaking a record she previously tied in 2004 for the most Grammy awards won in a single night by a female artist with six. In 2010, Beyonc�� was featured on Lady Gaga's single "Telephone" and appeared in its music video.[121][122] The song topped the US Pop Songs chart, becoming the sixth number-one for both Beyonc�� and Gaga, tying them with Mariah Carey for most number-ones since the Nielsen Top 40 airplay chart launched in 1992.[123] "Telephone" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.[124]Beyonc�� announced a hiatus from her music career in January 2010, heeding her mother's advice, "to live life, to be inspired by things again".[125][126] During the break she and her father parted ways as business partners.[127][128] Beyonc��'s musical break lasted nine months and saw her visit multiple European cities, the Great Wall of China, the Egyptian pyramids, Australia, English music festivals and various museums and ballet performances.[125][129]2011���2015: 4 and Beyonc�� The upper body of a woman is shown as she sings into a microphone Beyonc��'s sound became mellower with 2011's 4 which focused on traditional R&B styles.

It became the most successful tour of her career and one of the most successful tours of all time.[149] In May, Beyonc��'s cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" with Andr�� 3000 on The Great Gatsby soundtrack was released.[150] Beyonc�� voiced Queen Tara in the 3D CGI animated film, Epic, released by 20th Century Fox on May 24,[151] and recorded an original song for the film, "Rise Up", co-written with Sia.[152]On December 13, 2013, Beyonc�� unexpectedly released her eponymous fifth studio album on the iTunes Store without any prior announcement or promotion. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, giving Beyonc�� her fifth consecutive number-one album in the US.[153] This made her the first woman in the chart's history to have her first five studio albums debut at number one.[154] Beyonc�� received critical acclaim[155] and commercial success, selling one million digital copies worldwide in six days;[156] Musically an electro-R&B album, it concerns darker themes previously unexplored in her work, such as "bulimia, postnatal depression [and] the fears and insecurities of marriage and motherhood".[157] The single "Drunk in Love", featuring Jay Z, peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[158] In April 2014, after much speculation,[159] Beyonc�� and Jay Z officially announced their On the Run Tour. It served as the couple's first co-headlining stadium tour together.[160] On August 24, 2014, she received the Video Vanguard Award at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. Knowles also won home three competitive awards: Best Video with a Social Message and Best Cinematography for "Pretty Hurts", as well as best collaboration for "Drunk in Love".[161] In November, Forbes reported that Beyonc�� was the top-earning woman in music for the second year in a row���earning $115 million in the year, more than double her earnings in 2013.[162] Beyonc�� was reissued with new material in three forms: as an extended play, a box set, as well as a full platinum edition. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), in the last 19 days of 2013, the album sold 2.3 million units worldwide, becoming the tenth best-selling album of 2013.[163] The album also went on to become the twentieth best-selling album of 2014.[164] As of November 2014, Beyonc�� has sold over 5 million copies worldwide[165] and has generated over 1 billion streams, as of March 2015.[166]At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2015, Beyonc�� was nominated for six awards, ultimately winning three: Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for "Drunk in Love", and Best Surround Sound Album for Beyonc��.[167] She was nominated for Album of the Year, but the award went to Beck for his album Morning Phase.[168]2016���present: LemonadeBeyonc�� performing during The Formation World Tour in 2016 On February 6, 2016, Beyonc�� released "Formation" and its accompanying music video exclusively on the music streaming platform Tidal; the song was made available to download for free.[169] She performed "Formation" live for the first time during the NFL Super Bowl 50 halftime show. The appearance was considered controversial as it appeared to reference the 50th anniversary of the Black Panther Party and the NFL forbids political statements in its performances.[170][171][172] Immediately following the performance, Beyonc�� announced The Formation World Tour, which highlighted stops in both North America, and Europe.[173][174] It ended on October 7, with Beyonc�� bringing out her husband Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Serena Williams for the last show.[175] The tour went on to win Tour of the Year at the 44th Annual American Music Awards.[176]On April 16, 2016, Beyonc�� released a teaser clip for a project called Lemonade. It turned out to be a one-hour movie which aired on HBO exactly a week later, April 23 at 10:00 pm EST; a corresponding album with the same title was released on the same day exclusively on the streaming platform Tidal.[177] Lemonade debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making Beyonc�� the first act in Billboard history to have their first six studio albums debut atop the chart; she broke a record previously tied with DMX in 2013.[178] With all 12 tracks of Lemonade debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Beyonc�� also became the first female act to chart 12 or more songs at the same time.[179] Additionally, Lemonade was streamed 115 million times via Tidal, setting a record for the most-streamed album in a single week by a female artist in history.[180] The album is Beyonc��'s most critically acclaimed work to date, receiving universal acclaim according to Metacritic, a website collecting reviews from professional music critics.[181] It is the 23rd album to receive a five-star rating from Rolling Stone.[182][183] Several music publications included the album among the best of 2016, including Rolling Stone, which listed Lemonade at number one.[184] As of November 2016, it has sold 1.5 million copies in the US.[185] The album's visuals were subsequently nominated for 11 MTV Video Music Awards in 2016, the most ever received by Beyonc�� in a single year, and went on to win 8 awards, including Video of the Year for "Formation".[186][187] The eight wins makes Beyonc�� the most awarded artist in the history of the VMAs (24), surpassing Madonna (20).[188] For the 59th Grammy Awards, Lemonade led the nominations with nine, including Album of the Year, and Record of the Year and Song of the Year for "Formation".[189] Beyonc�� occupied the sixth place for Time magazine's 2016 Person of the Year.[190] In January 2017, it was announced that Beyonc�� would headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival of the same year. This would make Beyonc�� only the second female headliner of the festival since it was founded in 1999.[191]Artistry Voice and songwriting With "Single Ladies", clearly I'd just gotten married, and people want to get married every day���then there was the whole Justin Timberlake thing [recreating the video] on "Saturday Night Live", and it was also the year YouTube blew up. With 'Irreplaceable,' the aggressive lyrics, the acoustic guitar, and the 808 drum machine���those things don't typically go together, and it sounded fresh. 'Crazy in Love' was another one of those classic moments in pop culture that none of us expected. I asked Jay to get on the song the night before I had to turn my album in ��� thank God he did. It still never gets old, no matter how many times I sing it. ��� Beyonc��[192] Jody Rosen highlights her tone and timbre as particularly distinctive, describing her voice as "one of the most compelling instruments in popular music".[193] Her vocal abilities mean she is identified as the centerpiece of Destiny's Child.[194] Jon Pareles of The New York Times commented that her voice is "velvety yet tart, with an insistent flutter and reserves of soul belting".[195] Rosen notes that the hip hop era highly influenced Beyonc��'s unique rhythmic vocal style, but also finds her quite traditionalist in her use of balladry, gospel and falsetto.[193] Other critics praise her range and power, with Chris Richards of The Washington Post saying she was "capable of punctuating any beat with goose-bump-inducing whispers or full-bore diva-roars."[196]Beyonc��'s music is generally R&B,[197] but she also incorporates pop,[198] soul and funk into her songs. 4 demonstrated Beyonc��'s exploration of 1990s-style R&B, as well as further use of soul and hip hop than compared to previous releases.[192] While she almost exclusively releases English songs, Beyonc�� recorded several Spanish songs for Irreemplazable (re-recordings of songs from B'Day for a Spanish-language audience), and the re-release of B'Day. To record these, Beyonc�� was coached phonetically by American record producer Rudy Perez.[199]She has received co-writing credits for most of the songs recorded with Destiny's Child and her solo efforts.[36] Her early songs were personally driven and female-empowerment themed compositions like "Independent Women" and "Survivor", but after the start of her relationship with Jay Z, she transitioned to more man-tending anthems such as "Cater 2 U".[200] Beyonc�� has also received co-producing credits for most of the records in which she has been involved, especially during her solo efforts. However, she does not formulate beats herself, but typically comes up with melodies and ideas during production, sharing them with producers.[201]In 2001, she became the first African-American woman and second woman songwriter to win the Pop Songwriter of the Year award at the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Pop Music Awards.[24][202] Beyonc�� was the third woman to have writing credits on three number one songs ("Irreplaceable", "Grillz" and "Check on It") in the same year, after Carole King in 1971 and Mariah Carey in 1991. She is tied with American songwriter Diane Warren at third with nine songwriting credits on number-one singles.[203] (The latter wrote her 9/11-motivated song "I Was Here" for 4.[204]) In May 2011, Billboard magazine listed Beyonc�� at number 17 on their list of the "Top 20 Hot 100 Songwriters", for having co-written eight singles that hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She was one of only three women on that list, along with Alicia Keys and Taylor Swift.[205]Influences Beyonc�� names Michael Jackson as her major musical influence.[206] Aged five, Beyonc�� attended her first ever concert where Jackson performed and she claims to have realized her purpose.[207] When she presented him with a tribute award at the World Music Awards in 2006, Beyonc�� said, "if it wasn't for Michael Jackson, I would never ever have performed."[208] She admires Diana Ross as an "all-around entertainer"[209] and Whitney Houston, who she said "inspired me to get up there and do what she did."[210] She credits Mariah Carey's singing and her song "Vision of Love" as influencing her to begin practicing vocal runs as a child.[211][212] Her other musical influences include Aaliyah,[213] Prince,[214] Lauryn Hill,[209] Sade Adu,[215] Donna Summer,[216] Mary J. Blige,[217] Janet Jackson,[218] Anita Baker and Rachelle Ferrell.[209]The feminism and female empowerment themes on Beyonc��'s second solo album B'Day were inspired by her role in Dreamgirls[219] and by singer Josephine Baker.[220] Beyonc�� paid homage to Baker by performing "D��j�� Vu" at the 2006 Fashion Rocks concert wearing Baker's trademark mini-hula skirt embellished with fake bananas.[221] Beyonc��'s third solo album I Am... Sasha Fierce was inspired by Jay Z and especially by Etta James, whose "boldness" inspired Beyonc�� to explore other musical genres and styles.[222] Her fourth solo album, 4, was inspired by Fela Kuti, 1990s R&B, Earth, Wind & Fire, DeBarge, Lionel Richie, Teena Marie, The Jackson 5, New Edition, Adele, Florence and the Machine, and Prince.[192]Beyonc�� has stated that she is personally inspired by US First Lady Michelle Obama, saying "She proves you can do it all"[223] and she has described Oprah Winfrey as "the definition of inspiration and a strong woman".[209] She has also discussed how Jay Z is a continuing inspiration to her, both with what she describes as his lyrical genius and in the obstacles he has overcome in his life.[224] Beyonc�� has expressed admiration for the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, posting in a letter "what I find in the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, I search for in every day in music... he is lyrical and raw".[225][226] In February 2013, Beyonc�� said that Madonna inspired her to take control of her own career. She commented: "I think about Madonna and how she took all of the great things she achieved and started the label and developed other artists. But there are not enough of those women.".[227]Stage and alter ego A woman in a yellow dress, flanked by three female dancers, salutes to the crowd Beyonc�� performing "Run the World (Girls)" on the 2011 Good Morning America Summer Concert Series In 2006, Beyonc�� introduced her all-female tour band Suga Mama (also the name of a song in B'Day) which includes bassists, drummers, guitarists, horn players, keyboardists and percussionists.[228] Her background singers, The Mamas, consist of Montina Cooper-Donnell, Crystal Collins and Tiffany Moniqu�� Riddick. They made their debut appearance at the 2006 BET Awards and re-appeared in the music videos for "Irreplaceable" and "Green Light".[199] The band have supported Beyonc�� in most subsequent live performances, including her 2007 concert tour The Beyonc�� Experience, 2009���2010 I Am... World Tour and 2013���2014 The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.Beyonc�� has received praise for her stage presence and voice during live performances. Jarett Wieselman of the New York Post placed her at number one on her list of the Five Best Singer/Dancers.[229] According to Barbara Ellen of The Guardian Beyonc�� is the most in-charge female artist she's seen onstage,[230] while Alice Jones of The Independent wrote she "takes her role as entertainer so seriously she's almost too good."[231] The ex-President of Def Jam L.A. Reid has described Beyonc�� as the greatest entertainer alive.[232] Jim Farber of the Daily News and Stephanie Classen of Star Phoenix both praised her strong voice and her stage presence.[233][234]Described as being "sexy, seductive and provocative" when performing on stage, Beyonc�� has said that she originally created the alter ego "Sasha Fierce" to keep that stage persona separate from who she really is. She described Sasha as being "too aggressive, too strong, too sassy [and] too sexy", stating, "I'm not like her in real life at all."[45] Sasha was conceived during the making of "Crazy in Love", and Beyonc�� introduced her with the release of her 2008 album I Am... Sasha Fierce. In February 2010, she announced in an interview with Allure magazine that she was comfortable enough with herself to no longer need Sasha Fierce.[235] However, Beyonc�� announced in May 2012 that she would bring her back for her Revel Presents: Beyonc�� Live shows later that month.[236]Public image A woman waves to the crowd on a red-carpet Beyonc�� at the premiere for her 2006 film, Dreamgirls Beyonc�� has been described as having a wide-ranging sex appeal, with music journalist Tour�� writing that since the release of Dangerously in Love, she has "become a crossover sex symbol".[237] Offstage Beyonc�� says that while she likes to dress sexily, her onstage dress "is absolutely for the stage."[238] Due to her curves and the term's catchiness, in the 2000s (decade), the media often used the term "Bootylicious" (a portmanteau of the words booty and delicious) to describe Beyonc��,[239][240] the term popularized by Destiny's Child's single of the same name. In 2006, it was added to the Oxford English Dictionary.[241]External imageKnowles' Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover from February 15, 2007In September 2010, Beyonc�� made her runway modelling debut at Tom Ford's Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show.[242] She was named "World's Most Beautiful Woman" by People[243] and the "Hottest Female Singer of All Time" by Complex in 2012.[244] In January 2013, GQ placed her on its cover, featuring her atop its "100 Sexiest Women of the 21st Century" list.[245][246] VH1 listed her at number 1 on its 100 Sexiest Artists list.[247] Several wax figures of Beyonc�� are found at Madame Tussauds Wax Museums in major cities around the world, including New York,[248] Washington, D.C.,[249] Amsterdam,[250] Bangkok,[251] Hollywood[252] and Sydney.[253]According to Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, Beyonc�� uses different fashion styles to work with her music while performing.[254] Her mother co-wrote a book, published in 2002, titled Destiny's Style[255] an account of how fashion affected the trio's success.[256] The B'Day Anthology Video Album showed many instances of fashion-oriented footage, depicting classic to contemporary wardrobe styles.[257] In 2007, Beyonc�� was featured on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, becoming the second African American woman after Tyra Banks,[258] and People magazine recognized Beyonc�� as the best-dressed celebrity.[259]The Bey Hive is the name given to Beyonc��'s fan base. Fans were previously titled "The Beyontourage", (a portmanteau of Beyonc�� and entourage). The name Bey Hive derives from the word beehive, purposely misspelled to resemble her first name, and was penned by fans after petitions on the online social networking service Twitter and online news reports during competitions.[260]In 2006, the animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), criticized Beyonc�� for wearing and using fur in her clothing line House of Der��on.[261] In 2011, she appeared on the cover of French fashion magazine L'Officiel, in blackface and tribal makeup that drew criticism from the media. A statement released from a spokesperson for the magazine said that Beyonc��'s look was "far from the glamorous Sasha Fierce" and that it was "a return to her African roots".[262]Beyonc��'s lighter skin color and costuming has drawn criticism from some in the African-American community.[263] Emmett Price, a professor of music at Northeastern University, wrote in 2007, that he thinks race plays a role in many of these criticisms, saying white celebrities who dress similarly do not attract as many comments.[263] In 2008, L'Or��al was accused of whitening her skin in their Feria hair color advertisements, responding that "it is categorically untrue",[264][265] and in 2013, Beyonc�� herself criticized H&M for their proposed "retouching" of promotional images of her, and according to Vogue requested that only "natural pictures be used".[266]Personal lifeA woman stands next to a man who is performing using a microphone Beyonc�� performing on the I Am... Tour with Jay Z, whom she married in 2008 Beyonc�� started a relationship with Shawn "Jay Z" Carter after their collaboration on "'03 Bonnie & Clyde",[267] which appeared on his seventh album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse (2002).[268] Beyonc�� appeared as Jay Z's girlfriend in the music video for the song, fuelling speculation about their relationship.[269] On April 4, 2008, Beyonc�� and Jay Z married without publicity.[94] As of April 2014, the couple had sold a combined 300 million records together.[160] They are known for their private relationship, although they have appeared to become more relaxed in recent years.[270]Beyonc�� suffered a miscarriage in 2010 or 2011, describing it as "the saddest thing" she had ever endured.[271] She returned to the studio and wrote music in order to cope with the loss. In April 2011, Beyonc�� and Jay Z traveled to Paris in order to shoot the album cover for 4, and unexpectedly became pregnant in Paris.[272] In August, the couple attended the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, at which Beyonc�� performed "Love on Top" and ended the performance by revealing she was pregnant.[273] Her appearance helped that year's MTV Video Music Awards become the most-watched broadcast in MTV history, pulling in 12.4 million viewers;[274] the announcement was listed in Guinness World Records for "most tweets per second recorded for a single event" on Twitter,[275] receiving 8,868 tweets per second[276] and "Beyonce pregnant" was the most Googled term the week of August 29, 2011.[277] On January 7, 2012, Beyonc�� gave birth to a daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.[278]Beyonc�� performed "America the Beautiful" at the 2009 presidential inauguration, as well as "At Last" during the first inaugural dance at the Neighborhood Ball two days later.[279] They held a fundraiser at Jay Z's 40/40 Club in Manhattan for Obama's 2012 presidential campaign[280] which raised $4 million.[281] In the 2012 Presidential election, Beyonc�� voted for Obama.[282] She performed the American national anthem at his second inauguration.[143] The Washington Post reported in May 2015, that Beyonc�� attended a major celebrity fundraiser for 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.[283]In 2013, Beyonc�� stated in an interview with Vogue that she considered herself to be "a modern-day feminist".[284] She would later align herself more publicly with the movement, sampling "We should all be feminists", a speech delivered by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie at a TEDx talk in April 2013, in her song "Flawless", released later that year.[285] She has also contributed to the Ban Bossy campaign, which uses television and social media to encourage leadership in girls.[286] Following Beyonc��'s public identification as a feminist, the sexualized nature of her performances and the fact that she championed her marriage was questioned.[287]Beyonc�� publicly endorsed same sex marriage on March 26, 2013, after the Supreme Court debate on California's Proposition 8.[288] The singer has also condemned police brutality against black Americans. Beyonc�� and Jay-Z attended a rally in 2013 in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the shooting of Trayvon Martin.[289] The film for her sixth album Lemonade included the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Garner, holding pictures of their murdered sons in the video for "Freedom".[290] In a 2016 interview with Elle, she responded to the controversy surrounding her song "Formation" which was perceived to be critical of the police. She clarified, "I am against police brutality and injustice. Those are two separate things. If celebrating my roots and culture during Black History Month made anyone uncomfortable, those feelings were there long before a video and long before me".[291]Wealth Forbes magazine began reporting on Beyonc��'s earnings in 2008, calculating that the $80 million earned between June 2007 to June 2008, for her music, tour, films and clothing line made her the world's best-paid music personality at the time, above Madonna and Celine Dion.[292][293] They placed her fourth on the Celebrity 100 list in 2009[294] and ninth on the "Most Powerful Women in the World" list in 2010.[295] The following year, Forbes placed her eighth on the "Best-Paid Celebrities Under 30" list, having earned $35 million in the past year for her clothing line and endorsement deals.

[...] Because she made not one but two of the decade's greatest singles, with Crazy in Love and Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), not to mention her hits with Destiny's Child; and this was the decade when singles ��� particularly R&B singles ��� regained their status as pop's favourite medium. [...] [She] and not any superannuated rock star was arguably the greatest live performer of the past 10 years."[309] In 2013, Beyonc�� made the Time 100 list, with Baz Luhrmann writing "no one has that voice, no one moves the way she moves, no one can hold an audience the way she does... When Beyonc�� does an album, when Beyonc�� sings a song, when Beyonc�� does anything, it's an event, and it's broadly influential. Right now, she is the heir-apparent diva of the USA ��� the reigning national voice."[310] In 2014, Beyonc�� was listed again on the Time 100 and also featured on the cover of the issue.[311]Beyonc��'s work has influenced numerous artists including Adele,[312] Ariana Grande,[313][314] Lady Gaga,[315] Ellie Goulding,[316] Rihanna,[317] Kelly Rowland,[318][319] Sam Smith,[320] Nicole Scherzinger,[321] Jessica Sanchez,[322] Cheryl,[323] JoJo,[324] Meghan Trainor,[325] Grimes,[326][327] Rita Ora,[328] Zendaya,[329] Alexis Jordan,[330] Bridgit Mendler,[331] and Azealia Banks.[332] American indie rock band White Rabbits also cited her an inspiration for their third album Milk Famous (2012),[333] friend Gwyneth Paltrow[334] studied Beyonc�� at her live concerts while learning to become a musical performer for the 2010 film Country Strong.[335]Her debut single, "Crazy in Love" was named VH1's "Greatest Song of the 2000s",[336] NME's "Best Track of the 00s"[337] and "Pop Song of the Century",[338] considered by Rolling Stone to be one of the 500 greatest songs of all time, earned two Grammy Awards and is one of the best-selling singles of all time at around 8 million copies. The music video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", which achieved fame for its intricate choreography[339] and its deployment of jazz hands,[340] was credited by the Toronto Star as having started the "first major dance craze of both the new millennium and the Internet",[104] triggering a number of parodies of the dance choreography[341][342] and a legion of amateur imitators on YouTube.[339][341] In 2013, Drake released a single titled "Girls Love Beyonc��", which featured an interpolation from Destiny Child's "Say My Name" and discussed his relationship with women.[343] In January 2012, research scientist Bryan Lessard named Scaptia beyonceae, a species of horse fly found in Northern Queensland, Australia after Beyonc�� due to the fly's unique golden hairs on its abdomen.[344] In July 2014, a Beyonc�� exhibit was introduced into the "Legends of Rock" section of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Beyonc�� and her mother founded their family's company Beyond Productions, which provides the licensing and brand management for House of Der��on, and its junior collection, Der��on.[392] House of Der��on pieces were exhibited in Destiny's Child's shows and tours, during their Destiny Fulfilled era.[395][396] The collection features sportswear, denim offerings with fur, outerwear and accessories that include handbags and footwear, and are available at department and specialty stores across the US and Canada.[392]In 2005, Beyonc�� teamed up with House of Brands, a shoe company, to produce a range of footwear for House of Der��on.[397] In January 2008, Starwave Mobile launched Beyonc�� Fashion Diva, a "high-style" mobile game with a social networking component, featuring the House of Der��on collection.[392] In July 2009, Beyonc�� and her mother launched a new junior apparel label, Sasha Fierce for Der��on, for back-to-school selling.

The 50-50 venture is called Parkwood Topshop Athletic Ltd and is scheduled to launch its first dance, fitness and sports ranges in autumn 2015.[400][401] The line was launched in April 2016.[402]Philanthropy A woman is surrounded by several others, all behind a piece of white tape Beyonc�� (center) and her mother, Tina, (left) at the opening of the Beyonc�� Cosmetology Center on March 5, 2010 After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Beyonc�� and Rowland founded the Survivor Foundation to provide transitional housing for victims in the Houston area,[24] to which Beyonc�� contributed an initial $250,000.[403] The foundation has since expanded to work with other charities in the city,[404] and also provided relief following Hurricane Ike three years later.[405]Beyonc�� participated in George Clooney and Wyclef Jean's Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief telethon[406] and was named the official face of the limited edition CFDA "Fashion For Haiti" T-shirt,[407] made by Theory which raised a total of $1 million.[408] On March 5, 2010, Beyonc�� and her mother Tina opened the Beyonc�� Cosmetology Center at the Brooklyn Phoenix House, offering a seven-month cosmetology training course for men and women. In April 2011, Beyonc�� joined forces with US First Lady Michelle Obama and the National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation, to help boost the latter's campaign against child obesity[409] by reworking her single "Get Me Bodied".[410] Following the death of Osama bin Laden, Beyonc�� released her cover of the Lee Greenwood song "God Bless the USA", as a charity single to help raise funds for the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund.[411]In December, Beyonc�� along with a variety of other celebrities teamed up and produced a video campaign for "Demand A Plan", a bipartisan effort by a group of 950 US mayors and others[412] designed to influence the federal government into rethinking its gun control laws, following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[413] Beyonc�� became an ambassador for the 2012 World Humanitarian Day campaign donating her song "I Was Here" and its music video, shot in the UN, to the campaign.[414][415] In 2013, it was announced that Beyonc�� would work with Salma Hayek and Frida Giannini on a Gucci "Chime for Change" campaign that aims to spread female empowerment. The campaign, which aired on February 28, was set to her new music.[416] A concert for the cause took place on June 1, 2013 in London[417] and included other acts like Ellie Goulding, Florence and the Machine, and Rita Ora.[418] In advance of the concert, she appeared in a campaign video released on May 15, 2013, where she, along with Cameron Diaz, John Legend and Kylie Minogue, described inspiration from their mothers, while a number of other artists celebrated personal inspiration from other women, leading to a call for submission of photos of women of viewers' inspiration from which a selection was shown at the concert. Beyonc�� said about her mother Tina Knowles that her gift was "finding the best qualities in every human being." With help of the crowdfunding platform Catapult, visitors of the concert could choose between several projects promoting education of women and girls.[419][420] Beyonc�� is also taking part in "Miss a Meal", a food-donation campaign,[421] and supporting Goodwill charity through online charity auctions at Charitybuzz that support job creation throughout Europe and the U.S.[422][423]Discography Main article: Beyonc�� discography See also: Destiny's Child discography Dangerously in Love (2003) B'Day (2006) I Am...

{{Infobox mythical creature |name = Minotaur |image = Minotauros Myron NAMA 1664 n1.jpg |caption = Minotaur bust, ([[Nation |Region = Crete |Parents = Cretan Bull and Pasipha�� }} In Greek mythology, the Minotaur (/��ma��n��t����/, /��m��n����t����r/; Ancient Greek: ��������������������� [mi��n������tau��ros], Latin: Minotaurus, Etruscan: ��evrumine��) was a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet Ovid, a being "part man and part bull". The Minotaur dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.The term Minotaur derives from the Ancient Greek ���������������������, a compound of the name ���������� (Minos) and the noun ������������ "bull", translated as "(the) Bull of Minos". In Crete, the Minotaur was known by the name Asterion, a name shared with Minos' foster-father."Minotaur" was originally a proper noun in reference to this mythical figure. The use of "minotaur" as a common noun to refer to members of a generic species of bull-headed creatures developed much later, in 20th-century fantasy genre fiction.
