LOKI :❤️🔥

Loki is an American television series created by Michael Waldron for the streaming service Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character of the same name. Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it shares continuity with the films of the franchise and takes place after the events of the film Avengers: Endgame (2019), in which an alternate version of Loki created a new timeline. Loki is produced by Marvel Studios, with Waldron serving as head writer. Loki premiered on June 9, 2021, with its first season concluding on July 14, consisting of six episodes. It is part of Phase Four of the MCU. The first season has received positive reviews, with praise for the performances and visuals.

Loki

EPISODES

Loki is arrested by the Time Variance Authority (TVA) when he creates a new timeline after escaping from the Battle of New York with the Tesseract in 2012.The TVA resets the timeline, and this “variant” Loki stands trial in front of Judge Ravonna Renslayer for crimes against the “Sacred Timeline”. Loki blames the situation on the Avengers, who had traveled back in time to 2012, but Renslayer says their actions were meant to happen unlike Loki’s escape. Agent Mobius M. Mobius takes Loki to the Time Theater to review his past misdeeds and question his history of hurting people. He reveals that Loki, in his intended future, inadvertently causes the death of his adoptive mother Frigga. Loki attempts to escape, but gives up after realizing that the TVA’s power exceeds that of the Infinity Stones. He returns to the Time Theater and watches more future events, including his own death at the hands of Thanos. He then agrees to help Mobius hunt another Loki variant who has killed several TVA agents and stolen their timeline-resetting charges.

Tom Hiddleston As LOKI

Tom Hiddleston as Loki:
Thor’s adopted brother and the god of mischief, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name.This is an alternate, “time variant” version of Loki who created a new timeline in Avengers: Endgame (2019) beginning in 2012. Because of this, he has not gone through the events of Thor: The Dark World (2013) or Thor: Ragnarok (2017), which reformed the previously villainous character before his death in Avengers: Infinity War (2018). Head writer Michael Waldron compared Loki to Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs since both were adopted and love being in control. Hiddleston expressed interest in returning to the role in order to explore Loki’s powers, particularly his shapeshifting, which plays into the series’ exploration of identity. Loki’s sex in the series is denoted by the Time Variance Authority as “fluid”, referencing the character’s genderfluidity in Marvel Comics that had previously been speculated on for the MCU given his shapeshifting ability.Waldron said he was aware of how many people identify with Loki’s genderfluidity and were “eager for that representation”. The series also reveals Loki as bisexual, becoming the first major queer character in the MCU.The series explores more of Loki’s magic abilities, such as his telekinesis and magic blasts.

CREATION OF MULTIVERSE IN EPISODE 6

In Loki’s ending, the answer to this puzzle is provided, as Loki and the Lady Loki variant Sylvie meet He Who Remains; the creator of the TVA and crafter of the Sacred Timeline, who quickly explains that he made both in order to stop a multiverse wide war. Despite telling the protagonist duo that killing him will leave another of his variants in his place, Sylvie murders He Who Remains – a decision that, as the show’s ending reveals, places Marvel villain Kang in charge of the TVA and thus the MCU timeline, seemingly.

Science textbook analysis

Of class 6th NCERT book

We all are going through this science book in class 6th. But now we will see how much our book are gender netural. At class 6th students started their puberty. It is important that our textbook should be gender netrual.

About the book 

The textbook is published  by the National Council Of Educational Research and Training. This textbook is an updated version. The syllabus is based on the latest pattern of CBSE. All the three subjects- physics, chemistry and biology are included in the syllabus.

Grade 6th science textbook is fully child centric. The pictures are bright and big. The colour of the textbook is really attractive and good. The quality of paper used to develop the content is flexible and does not leave any impression behind the page. The pages are properly numbered and activities are low cost or no cost activities. The activities can easily be performed by the student and provide them a better conceptual understanding. Assessment, evaluation, learning and facts are in different colours so the child can attract them.

Cover page of the textbook

The cover page of the science textbook for 6th class are designed by Mr. Dev Anand and Mr. Sunil Kumar. The cover page designers are both men. There is no woman. The government should include the woman candidate too for designing the cover page. Might the cover page be more attractive. 

The director of the book is also a man and even the production committee is also heard by Mr. Anil kumar sharma. I found that all the members of the design  production and direction committee are men. There is no participation of women in any such work. 

Introduction is also given by an male IAS officer Mr. Binay Bhushan- director of education and sports. There are many other women IAS officers who worked in the education department.

Textbook development committee 

The textbook development committee consists of 26 members in itself. The number of women participants is ten which is not even half the man participants. The higher ranking office belongs to one woman out of 10. 

Chapter1 ; food: where does it come from 

Page no. 2 image no. 1.3- transportation of wheat 

Here a man carries the food to the market. A woman can represent the same. The content developer should use a woman representative too. A sixth class student considers that transportation is only related to man. Women do not participate in this work.

Chapter 2: component of food

Page no.15 image there is a fat boy who represents the over eating. They can use the girl too. But there is a stereotype that a girl should be slim. It will be ok if a man is overweight.

Chapter 3; fiber to fabric

Page no.20, 21 and 22 image no. 3.7, 3.11 and 3.13, the work represents the status of women. The women are working with charkha and weaving meaning at home whereas men are working in the field of cotton. But the reality is different as shown in pictures.

Chapter 5:separation of substance 

Page no 37 image 5.4 and 5.5- there is a man who worked in the field and the woman works with the execution method of separating wheat and dust.  The picture shows the gender roles of men working in the field and women working at home.

Pageno. 38 image 5.7- man is working on a filtration method. The man is labour but why do they use only men and women also do the same thing in the same way.

Chapter 9: living -features and habitat 

Page no. 88 image no. 9.10- in the growth process images mostly man used as the representative. I rarely see any woman as the representative of the growth process . Do women have a different growth process than men? 

Chapter 10; measurement of speed and distance 

In this chapter women’s representation is neglected . All the activities are performed by a single gender ( male). Might be content developers consider that women are not good in numbers so he does not include pictures of women.

Chapter 15; air in our surrounding 

Page no. 148 image 15.5 – the mountaineer is a man why not a woman. The women also climb the mountain but the picture again is a reflection of less representation of women in the text development committee.

Page no. 150 image no. 15.8 There is a policeman who controls the traffic. When they look at the book he /she considers that only a man could be a traffic police woman not.

Dialogue 

The textbook consists of two characters known as the bhuju and pheli. Pheli is a girl who is very curious to know everything whereas bhuju is a boy who knows everything and performs activities. I feel that somewhere the content developer considers that girls are curious whereas boys are silent observers

. 

Conclusion 

The science textbook of 6th class is published by the NCERT. The book is updated but somewhere gender equality is missed by the content developer. The picture can develop a gender role distinguished in the child mind. Same as the pheli bhuju creates and thinks that girls are curious and boys have answers to the all query. We should neglect this type of representation of women in the textbook and there is an urgent need for more female participants in content developing and cover designing.

Rath yatra during pandemic

Rath yatra during COVID-19

Rath yatra is celebrated every year on dwitiya tithi of shukla paksh at ashada maas (hindhu calendar). This year it was celebrated on July 12 Monday 2021. It is one of the biggest yatra in India.

Jagannath rath yatra is devoted to the one form of lord vishnu. Jagannath- lord of the world- in sanatan dharm hindhu consider the bhagwan vishnu as the preserver of the world. Bhagwan vishnu preserves the whole cosmos from the evils- written in shrimad bhagwat katha. 

Jagannath temple is situated in the puri odisha. It was built by the king indradyumna. He was the bhakt of jagannath. His wife gundicha is known as jagannath swami maternal aunt (masi). She was blessed by the jagannath that he would come at her place for eight days every year on ashada maas on dwitiya  tithi of shukla paksh. 

 In Jagannath temple, bhagwan jagannath is worshipped along with his brother balbhadr and sister subhadra. It is the only temple in the world where brother and sister is worshipped.

Jagannath temple is one of the most beautiful monuments of Indian architecture. The temple is near the ocean. There is a sudarshan chakra at the top of the temple. The flag is daily because they believe that if the flag is not changed on a single day the temple will remain closed for the upcoming 18 year. The height of the jagannath temple is 65 metres. The roof of the temple is supported by 12 pillars. There is a mukti mandap which is made up of granite in the area of 900 square feet in square shape.

During the pandemic, only a few members of the temple committee participated in the yatra. The members are fully vaccinated and found negative in covid-19 test. Maha pandit of the temple said over a lakh people used to participate in the rath yatra. People from all over the world come here to see the precious yatra of bhagwan jagannath from temple to gundicha temple. It is the celebration of ten days in  which hera pancham (fourth day of rath yatra) and the return yatra. I hope that everything will be fine soon so people can celebrate the yatra as earlier. 

The court of puri ordered that the yatra must be in a limited area of puri. In other states the rath yatra is banned by the supreme court. The prime minister of India shri narendra das domodar das modi also greeted the people of the nation on the occasion of the rath yatra. The government of India is preparing for the third wave of covid-19.  If they allow the gathering of people for the rath yatra, it causes the risk of increasing the case of covid-19 in the nation.

We hope that this pandemic will be over soon and we can celebrate the other rath yatra with full of joy and love. Because it is not only a rath yatra, it is a symbol of brotherhood, unity and harmony.

Working out haan!

Exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness.

It is performed for various reasons, to aid growth and improve strength, preventing aging, developing muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, improving health and also for enjoyment. Many individuals choose to exercise outdoors where they can congregate in groups, socialize, and enhance well-being.

In terms of health benefits, the amount of recommended exercise depends upon the goal, the type of exercise, and the age of the person. Even doing a small amount of exercise is healthier than doing none.

Physical exercises are generally grouped into three types, depending on the overall effect they have on the human body:

Aerobic exercise is any physical activity that uses large muscle groups and causes the body to use more oxygen than it would while resting. The goal of aerobic exercise is to increase cardiovascular endurance. Examples of aerobic exercise include running, cycling, swimming, brisk walking, skipping rope, rowing, hiking, dancing, playing tennis, continuous training, and long distance running.
Anaerobic exercise, which includes strength and resistance training, can firm, strengthen, and increase muscle mass, as well as improve bone density, balance, and coordination. Examples of strength exercises are push-ups, pull-ups, lunges, squats, bench press. Anaerobic exercise also includes weight training, functional training, eccentric training, interval training, sprinting, and high-intensity interval training which increase short-term muscle strength.
Flexibility exercises stretch and lengthen muscles. Activities such as stretching help to improve joint flexibility and keep muscles limber. The goal is to improve the range of motion which can reduce the chance of injury.
Physical exercise can also include training that focuses on accuracy, agility, power, and speed.

Types of exercise can also be classified as dynamic or static. ‘Dynamic’ exercises such as steady running, tend to produce a lowering of the diastolic blood pressure during exercise, due to the improved blood flow. Conversely, static exercise (such as weight-lifting) can cause the systolic pressure to rise significantly, albeit transiently, during the performance of the exercise.

Heavy Rainfall next five days

Delhi, UP, Uttarakhand and Himachal to Receive Heavy Rainfall Next Five Days.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall at some places of North India, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, during the next 5 days. 

The department has also issued an orange alert in Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir. It also issued a yellow alert in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, which are facing heavy losses due to cloudburst. The Metrological department issued a red alert for Madhya Maharashtra and Goa.

The prediction are taken at a time when monsoon has entered in most of the states of the country.

Following are the meaning of the color of the alert issued by authorities::

Green Alert: It means there is no danger as there is no chance of rain.

Yellow Alert: This alert means that there will be rainfall and weather will remain unclear

Orange Alert: This means that there is a full possibility of rainfall and thunderstorms. So one should not go out unless it is absolutely necessary.

Red Alert: Red Alert means warning of dangerous weather. Through this alert, people are warned against going out of their homes.

The moisture-laden winds are advancing from the Bay of Bengal towards all parts of the country due to changes in conditions that promote the advancement of these winds.

Calling Sehmat – movie based novel ( RAAZI )

  • How was Sehmat Khan alone able to influence the course of the Indo – Pakistan war of 1971? Is patriotism still in the hearts of people. The answer to this question is given in the book Calling Sehmat itself. Still people keep their country or watan on the first priority.
  • The book Calling Sehmat is written by Harinder Sikka. This book is not a history lesson but a lesson to learn in life. People still sacrifice their LIFE for the sake of the country and the safety of the country. It is a true story about a girl called Sehmat who was studying in Delhi and became an Indian spy who can be solely responsible to save India from losing the Indo – Pak war of 1971.
  • Sehmat was the only child born to Tej and Hidayat. She was born to a muslim father and hindu mother and hence she was very secular because she had seen two people practicing different religions and still living in peace under the same roof. The young Sehmat agrees to marries a officer of Pakistan army even if she loves someone else. She gathers information about Pakistan while living in her in laws house and maintaining a healthy married life. Sehmat eventually founds about the sinking of india’s pride that is INS Vikrant.
  • The story gives us the ray of hope that there are still people who stake their life for the country. It also showcasts the bravery of the Kashmiri people.  I would like to give this book a rating of 9.5/10. I would recommend this book to all those who truly believe in patriotism. It is a mixture of thiller , suspense and mystery. The plot of the book is set in an amazing way
