The importance of water.

All plants and animals need water to survive. There can be no life on earth without water. Why is water so important? Because 60 percent of our body weight is made up of water. Our bodies use water in all the cells, organs, and tissues, to help regulate body temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because our bodies lose water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it’s crucial to rehydrate and replace water by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water.

Water helps by creating saliva

Water is the main component of saliva. It’s critical for breaking down solid food and keeping your mouth healthy. If you find your mouth is drier than usual, increase your water intake. If that doesn’t work, see your doctor

  • It regulates body temperature

Staying hydrated is critical to maintaining a normal body temperature. Our bodies lose water when we sweat, and in hot environments. Sweat keeps our bodies cool, but our body temperatures will go up if we don’t replenish the water we lose. That lack of water causes dehydration, which in turn causes levels of electrolytes and plasma to drop

  • Water aids cognitive functions

Proper hydration is crucial to staying in good cognitive shape. Research has shown that inadequate water intake can negatively impact our focus, alertness, and short-term memory

  • Water protects the tissues, spinal cord, and joints

Water  helps lubricate and cushion our joints, spinal cord, and tissues. This helps us to be more physically active, and reduces the discomfort caused by conditions such as arthritis

  • It helps excrete the waste in our bodies through perspiration, urination, and defecation

Our bodies use water to sweat, urinate, and pass healthy bowel movements. We all need water to replenish fluids lost from sweating. We also need water in our systems to have healthy stools and avoid constipation. Drinking enough water helps our kidneys to work more efficiently  thus preventing kidney stones

  • Water maximizes our physical performance

Drinking plenty of water while working out, taking part in sports or just being on the move, is essential.  Keeping ourselves hydrated also affects our strength, power, and endurance

  • It helps to boost our energy levels

Drinking water helps to boost our metabolic rate. This boost has a positive impact on our energy levels. Drinking 500 milliliters of water can boost the metabolic rate by 30 percent in both men and women, one study has found. Negative effects of exercising in the heat, without staying hydrated, can result in serious medical incidents. In fact, extreme dehydration can cause seizures, and sometimes, even death.

  • Water prevents overall dehydration

Dehydration is the result of the body being deprived of adequate water. And,  since water is critical for the successful functioning of many bodily functions, dehydration can be very dangerous. Even leading to fatal consequences. Severe dehydration can lead to serious outcomes, including:

  • swelling in the brain
  • kidney failure
  • seizures

Make sure to drink enough water to replace what’s lost through sweating, urination, and bowel movements, to avoid dehydration.

The importance of water.

It’s pretty obvious that having adequate water in your body  is critical to nearly every part of it. Not only will maintaining your recommended daily intake help you to maintain your current state of good health, it could also improve it in the long run. The amount of water you need will depend on the environment and climate you live in, how physically active you are, and whether you are suffering from an illness, ailment or  any other health problems.

Here are some ways to make sure that  you drink enough water:

  • Carry a water bottle with you wherever you go. Keep taking sips from it as and when you feel the need
  • Track your water intake. Make sure you consume the optimum amount every day, which is a minimum of half your body weight, in ounces/milligrams

Education in the present

Education is very important in every individual’s life as it is very important for the living. The person who is educated will be well treated by the society and will you have good potential wherever he or she goes. Education as the extra energy to the individual’s life and a moles the individuals character into a good one. It is very important to be educated as the competition in the world is comparatively very high.

Online classes are the greatest and the biggest task to all the students. It is so difficult for all the students to understand the topics in a detailed manner. Even though the students try their level best to understand the topics during the online class, it is only the 50% of learning but the topics are not understood properly but the students and face lots of difficulties.

It is also equal difficult to conduct exams to all mine because it’s exams are connected through online then there is a chance formal practices. Basically, students commit malpractices during exams in a view to get good marks but not about the knowledge. So,many of the students commit malpractices.

Ways to improve the education system

* skill – based learning :

As of now , the education system is such that everyone is forced to study science and math. If this system can be revamped to identify the strengths of a student, then they can be given appropriate training in the chosen field. This will ensure that the child shines in that particular field.

* Rural Education :

As the sad thing about the Indian education system is the fact that its focus is only on urban clusters. There are hardly any decent centres of learning in the rural areas. This is especially true in terms of higher education. If a country has to actually develop, urban and rural development have to go hand in hand.

* Gender Neutral Education :

The education system has always favoured men over the fairer sex. The major change that must be brought about is to involve women in the same. Particularly subjects that are now considered to be the strength of men alone ( like carpentry, engineering, etc). Should be made more accessible to women. Pioneer women in these fileds should be given due encouragement and appreciation.

* Teacher Training :

India has a very good quality of dedicated teachers. However, the sad fact here is the fact that after they join this service, they receive little or no training. In such a situation, giving them periodic training will not just ensure that they are updated with the changing times, but will also improve the entire education scene of the country by leaps and bounds.

* Infrastructure :

As in every other sector, the indian education sector is one that suffers from the acute death of infrastructure. Most of the government schools do not even have proper chairs, tables, restrooms, let alone a playground, libraries and laboratories. Thus ,the first step in revamping the education scene in the country should begin with improving the infrastructure so that the students are given an evironment where they can learn to the best of their abilities.

* subsidising professional courses :

It is a sad reality that many meritorious students are not able to afford professional corses because of the sheer expense involved in the same. This is all the way truer in case of students from the general category who do not have access to many scholarships. In such a situation subsidising the cost professional education will ensure that the same is within the reach of deserving students from the lower and lower middle class strata of the Indian society.

* Basic computing In Rural Areas :

On one hand , India is a land of IT giants; on the other, rural India is completely digitally ill- equipped, in a sitiation like this, the first change that the education system must bring forward is to start free computing classes for skill development in rural areas. Only then will rural Indian move in the same pace as that of the urban Digital India and the country embark on the journey of development.

* Make sports compulsory :

One of the main reasons for the alarming rise in suicide amongst students in the country is the fact that they cannot handle stress. That in turn is because they are subjected to too much mental pressure. By making sports compusory it can be ensured that all the students indulge in some sort of some physical activity. This will lead to their mind performance better and enable them to grasp their theory lessons well.

* Educate parents :

Most of the times it is seen that the children’s woes centre atound that of their parents. In the Indian scenerio, parents are the ones who force their wards into a career they do not like. As a result students do not excel and upon failing to meet their parents expectations, they suffer from a number of mental health issues. To prevent such a thing from happening, the first step that must be taken is to educate the parents about the different carrer options that are available to the students and the possible scope of future in them.

* Remove The Reservation system :

The reservation system in India has been so obsessed with providing the best of opportunities to the reserved that it misses out on many opportunities for the ones who actually deserve the same. This results in not just personal loss for certain people but also brain drain for the entire country and fosters a massive loss to the nation’s economy.

Today’s education system may be good to score marks, but fails to retain the knowledge once students have completed their examinations. This leads to young minds being stifled at an age when they should be asking questions, learning and gaining knowledge, and developing a thirst for more knowledge.

CYBER CRIME : CLASSIFICATION AND IMPACTS

INTRODUCTION

Cyber ​​crime can be termed as illegal use of the internet and computers. Computers can be victims of crime or be used as a criminal weapon. This crime has become a regular part of our daily lives. Every day one person or another becomes a victim of cyber crime. The Internet is accessed by many people at the same time for various purposes, and these hackers are making a way out of these opportunities.

TYPES OF CYBER CRIME

1)Identity theft – This involves obtaining personal information about the user by sending unsolicited emails or by using a criminal website to steal sensitive information similar to an authorized website.
2)Identity Theft – This involves obtaining information about credit or debit cards or banking details, some unwanted payments can be easily deducted after hacking.
3)Malware Attack – Malware is a malicious software designed to damage computers or systems. This is done to gain credible information or to commit certain crimes through the system.
4)ATM Fraud – The ATM machine has been completely stolen in this case. Criminals have developed a way to access all the information on the card and pin, continuously succeeding in duplicating the cards and using the same to withdraw money.
5)Cyber ​​Stalking – A criminal is involved in tracking that person through online actions. They can even send malware to damage systems to get specific information. Includes user abuse.
6)Pornography – The act of introducing a sexual activity containing a video, through sexual websites.
7)Download – In this case, the email was received and appears to be from a real source, but it is not the same. It’s broken.
8)Criminal crime – Unauthorized access to confidential information. Many times when government websites are hacked and corrupted files contain important information.

AWARNESS

1)Strong passwords should be used. Password should be complex, you might guess.
2)Use antivirus programs to keep the system free of malware.
3)Continue to update the program.
4)Be aware of and use the presence of intelligence to prevent identity theft.
5)Let your children know online, so that they can report any abuse or abuse when they pass.
6)Keep privacy settings on social media.

CYBER SECURITY

Cyber ​​security protects our system, network, devices and programs from malicious software attacks. Illegal data acquisition can therefore be suspended.

Importance – Information relating to any significant national problem or other data intended for personal use, if shared will create a number of problems. Therefore in the event of a multi-level security test, important data and data can be retained in the leak.

TYPES OF SECURITY THREATS

1)Network Security – Protects the network from malware attacks and thus uses a secure network.
2)Cloud security – Means data protection from cloud resources.
3)Information security – Helps protect data from unauthorized or illegal access.
4)End User Safety – User should be aware of when installing any external devices in the system, opening any emails or links.
5)Application security – helps keep the system and software safe.

CONCLUSION

Cyber ​​crime is spreading its arms day by day. The safest way to avoid becoming a victim of its ill effects is to follow safety precautions. There are various ways in which we can protect our confidential information from being disclosed. We should always focus on awareness as – ‘Prevention is better than cure’, especially if there is no cure.

Toxic Positivity

Toxic positivity is a relatively new term but most definitely not an uncommon concept. This “good vibes only” approach, is a type of coping mechanism, wherein people pretend like everything is perfectly fine and invalidate their obviously distressing feelings. 

Saying things like “everything happens for a reason” and “look on the bright side”, they suppress any negative emotions and refuse to address negative experiences. Ignoring reality seems like a good option in the short-run but all those bundled up emotions eventually escalate and cause long-term repercussions. 

Take the COVID-19 Pandemic. All we hear is bad news – families losing jobs, the economy falling, people falling sick and dying. We’ve all wanted to cut ourselves from reality and live in our own happy world. Although this comes with good intentions, it only makes things worse in the long run. Such thoughts get toxic when we become dismissive of our inevitable sadness. Of course, being grateful for what we have is imperative during such times. But so is taking care of our mental health, and that includes acknowledging all our emotions, even the pessimistic ones. 

We don’t realise how we say such things, not only to ourselves, but also to others. When consoling a friend, saying something like “there are people suffering more” is the worst thing you could do. It not only invalidates their feelings, making them feel worse, but also dismisses the idea of actually helping them resolve the issue. These micro aggressive comments can aggravate situations and ruin relationships altogether.  

The difference between positivity and toxic positivity is the ‘solution-focused’ approach. Positivity involves addressing the negative, and attempting to find an effective solution to improve it. Hence, solution-focused. Toxic positivity, on the other hand, negates true human emotions and considers being “just happy” the better option. It is an inauthentic and inconsiderate thought-process. 

How does one overcome this? It is important to recognize that regardless of how positive we try to be, at the end of the day, we’re all human. We are bound to react to different situations in different ways. Negative emotions are natural and it is important to acknowledge it, both with yourself and others, and try to find a solution. Bad days are there to remind us that we have good ones to look forward to.

EDGAR ALLEN POE: THE RAVEN

First published in January 1845 Poe’s The Raven appeared in the New York Evening Mirror. The poem is about a distraught lover who was visited by a raven, an ominous bird who ultimately drags his soul “shall be lifted nevermore!” In other words, the raven’s ‘Nevermore’ goads the speaker into madness, as he is denied of the solace, he endeavors to find through his rendezvous with the raven.

Before he met the raven, the speaker was trying to meditate on his studies. He was completely torn apart because of losing his dearest, who died a premature death. Hence, he was actually trying to “borrow from my books surcease of sorrow.” But he was interrupted by a knocking at his chamber door. The speaker was instantly filled with terror and his heart began beating fast. He consoled himself, saying that it must be ‘some visitor’ ‘tapping’ at his chamber door. And on opening the door, he found none waiting outside. Yet, he waited for a while, perhaps hoping for a comeback of his deceased ladylove in some mysterious form. Hence, he called out her name and is vexed when only the echo murmured back the word ‘Lenore!’ amidst the stillness of the night. However the knocking was again heard even ”louder than before” The speaker presumed that it was the wind striking against the window pane. He opened the window and was awed to see an enormous raven settled itself on the bust of Pallas, lying close to the chamber door and further wondered the speaker saying, “Nevermore” when asked what its name was. The next moment he thought the bird would ultimately fly away in the morning by which time the storm would surely end. Earlier his friends had also flown away thereby deserting his hopes. In the same way the bird would also leave the speaker the next morning, the thought of which made him sad. But, the bird replied to him saying, ‘Nevermore.’

The speaker was then assured of the fact that the bird knew only to speak the word nevermore. Perhaps its owner was unhappy in life and thus, taught his bird, the speaker was thrilled with the thought that after all it was his unique experience to rendezvous with a talking bird, sitting on the bust of Pallas, beside his chamber door. He thus, pulled a cushioned seat close to the Pallas bust and wondered what actually this ominous bird signified its horrible eyes seemed to peer deep into the core of his heart. Yet, he sat with his head bending on the cushion’s velvet lining. He remembers how his ladylove used to sit by his side on the lamplight on a cushioned seat. But, since she had passed away, she would nevermore press the velvet of the cushioned seat.

Meanwhile, the air inside the chamber grew thicker because of being mysteriously fragranced by some unknown power. The speaker fancies that the air inside his chamber had been perfumed by angels who had brought a burning censure with them invisibly into the chamber so as to cheer him up. And the perfume in the air was introduced by the angels to drug the speaker and let him forget his grief of losing his Lenore. But, the raven hearing him spoke, “Nevermore” as usual.

This however infuriated the speaker and he wondered whether the raven before him was a mere bird or a devil. He wanted to know from the bird, whether it had come to lure him to evil or had just accidentally rushed into his chamber so as to seek shelter against the storm outside. Even he asked the bird if it knew about any balm in Hades that could pacify his grief. But the raven only said “Nevermore” to all his questions. Yet he asked him if he could tell whether his wounded soul would meet his beloved, the saintly Lenore, in heaven. But, the answer was the same – “Nevermore”.

Failing to elicit any suitable answer from the raven, the speaker finally ordered the bird to be away from his sight. After all the bird is a liar and it seemed to the speaker that the raven had thrust its break into his heart. Hence, the speaker commanded the bird to leave his chamber and fly into the storm outside. But, the ashamed raven continued sitting on the bust and replied “Nevermore” its eyes were demonic and the lamplight which was glowing inside the chamber shed the shadow of the bird on the floor. The speaker felt that his soul which lay in that shadow would be lifted from there “Nevermore”.

Does An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away?

Ever since our childhood we have been growing up with the say ‘ An apple a day keeps the doctor away.’ But is the say accurate or we have been fallen in the trap?  The phrase was first coined in 1913, it was based on a Pembrokeshire proverb that originated in 1866. The initial adage was “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.”

A 100 gram of an apple contains 52 calories with 0.3 gram protein, 13.8 grams carbohydrates, 10.4 grams of sugar and 0.2 grams of fats. It is composed of 86% of water. Although their carb and sugar contents are high, their glycemic index (GI which is a measure of how food affects the rise in blood sugar levels after eating) is low, ranging 29–44. The fiber that an apple contains is very beneficial as it has many health benefits such as improved digestion. It is also rich in various antioxidant plant compounds such as Quercetin, Catechin and Chlorogenic acid.

Apples are rich in Vitamin C and Potassium. One of the researches revealed that people who eat more apples have comparatively reduced risks of cancer. There is also a reduced risk of diabetes 2. It also leads to less acid secretion and as a result there will be less calcium loss. There is also reduction of coronary heart disease. There is reduced risks of strokes.

According to one of the study  39.0% of apple-eaters avoided more than one yearly doctor visit, compared with 33.9% of non-apple eaters.

So we can say that though the adage is not entirely true because a person eating apples may catch a disease, it is apt to say that people eating apples have reduced risks of getting diseases as compared to people who do not eat apples.

Prevent covid from impactig your credit score

 – Since the beginning of March, COVID-19 has turned millions of Americans’ financial situations upside down.

While the economy is showing signs of recovery, many Americans are still unemployed and having to dip into their savings to cover basic living costs. To that end, the question remains: How do you protect your credit score? Read on for some tips.

• Contact your lender aas soon as possible if you can’t make a payment. On-time payments are the largest factor affecting your credit score. Many lenders continue to offer emergency support such as deferral or forbearance options that may allow you to reduce or suspend payments for a fixed period. However, if those terms are set to expire soon, you should “call your lender to discuss what options are available,” says Rod Griffin, senior director of consumer education and advocacy for the credit reporting agency Experian.

• Look for ways to boost your credit score. If you have limited credit history, building credit can be challenging. Experian’s free tool, Experian Boost, can help raise your FICO score instantly by giving you credit for on-time utility, phone and streaming service payments.

This type of alternative financial data, known as “consumer-permissioned data,” allows you to manage your data with confidence and qualify for better credit. In fact, two out of three Experian Boost users see an increase in their credit score with an average increase of about 12 points. That’s enough to make a significant difference when applying for a loan or any type of credit.

• Consider getting a balance transfer credit card or one with an introductory offer. Handled responsibly, this actually has the potential to increase your credit score while either buying you time to pay off your debts or getting a “welcome bonus” of perhaps hundreds of dollars. If you’re looking for personalized credit card options, tools like Experian CreditMatch can help you get the right card based on your financial profile.

• Pay attention to your utilization ratio. Your credit score is based on your total balance-to-limit ratio (a.k.a. “utilization rate”). Adding a new credit card increases your total available credit. As long as your total credit balance remains the same, you’d be decreasing your utilization rate, which can potentially boost your credit score. Be sure to transfer balances to the card with lower interest and be mindful of temporary low interest rates.

While any balance can cause scores to decline, you should keep your utilization under 30 percent, both overall and on individual accounts. Shooting for a top credit score? “Keep your utilization in the single digits, or even better, pay your credit card balances in full each month,” says Griffin.

• Fight fraud by checking your credit report regularly.According to the Federal Trade Commission., there’s been a huge jump in attempted credit – and debit-card fraud since the pandemic hit; consumers have lost more than $100 million to COVID-19-related fraud

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON CIVIL AVIATION SECTOR OF INDIA

OVERVIEW :-

COVID-19 has emerged out as the greatest challenge to the world community in the past 100 years. Due to it, millions of people are affected and lakhs of people have to lost their life. It also has broken the backbone of all the countries. The economy of every country around the world suffered massively. Whether it is manufacturing sector or any kind of service providing sector, it has dismantled everything. The Civil Aviation Sector of India is no other exception to it . It has also suffered huge losses due to COVID-19. People working in this sector washed hands from their jobs. All the airlines saw a historic decline in their revenues and many went into losses.

WHAT COVID-19 HAS DONE…????


The major reason for these losses is due to COVID-19 related restrictions on travel. All the countries banned people from other countries to enter in their country.

Due to this, passengers footfall on the airports have declined. International and domestic flights were cancelled. People working in this industry had no work. Many airlines including Government of India owned AIR India took steps like lay off employees.

EFFECTS OF COVID-19 :-

  • IndiGo incurred net losses of ₹ 2,884 crore and rupees 1,194 crore in Q1 and Q2 of this fiscal respectively. SpiceJet posted net losses of ₹ 600 crore and ₹ 112 crore in Q1 and Q2, respectively.
  • “The revival of overseas travel is expected to be slower and more challenging than domestic. This will hurt Air India in particular as around 60 per cent of its revenue was earlier generated from international operations,” said aviation consultancy firm CAPA in October. In the financial year more than 200 million passengers travelled in India. But this number has declined to about only one-forth in the next year.
  • CAPA India estimated a loss of more than USD 6.5 Billion in the financial year 2021.
  • The Airports Authority of India (AAI) — responsible for managing and maintaining civil aviation infrastructure across the country — reported a 92 percent fall in its revenue from Rs 2,973 crore during April-June 2019 to Rs 239 crore during the corresponding period in 2020, a government reply to the Lok Sabha on September 22, 2020, said.
  • Civil aviation has been severely hit with the tourism sector being down, and the former has a huge debt on them,” Sanat Kaul, Chairman (India Chapter) International Foundation for Aviation, Aerospace & Drones (IFFAAD), said.
  • “The revenue impact on the Indian aviation industry for FY21 is likely to be over 50 percent, and job losses, including compulsory leave without pay, are likely to be around 30 percent-plus,” Manvi Hooda, Practice Lead Consulting & Research, CAPA South Asia, said.
  • The passenger footfall across AAI airports saw a significant drop from 14.5 million in January 2020 to 27,687 in April 2020.

POST-COVID TIME FOR CIVIL AVIATION SECTOR :-

“Post-COVID, we need an aviation reform agenda, which must be well-directed and result in a sustainably profitable aviation industry,” said Hooda of CAPA India.
“This must include reducing negative fiscal regime, including aviation turbine fuel in the GST and ensuring that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security turn into independent institutions. Privatisation of Air India and more AAI airports, and dismantling of government ownership of aviation assets, except for ATC, should also be expedited” she suggested. Further, strategic reforms like long-term airport master plan and remote airport infrastructure to deliver tangible results under the ‘flexible use of airspace’ should be envisaged, she advised.

It will take time to completely free the world from the pandemic COVID-19. Till then, all the appropriate Covid protocols must be strictly followed by everyone during their journey so that civil aviation sector health can be improved.

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.

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.
