Little owls day

New Delhi : In a bid to promote Sanskrit, the Centre has recently launched an app called 'Little Guru' for people who want to learn the language. The app has been developed by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and aims to make learning Sanskrit easy and entertaining by gamifying it. The app has been produced by Bengaluru-based Gamapp Sportswizz and is available on the Google Play Store. Dinesh K Patnaik, DG, ICCR said, "Little Guru is a beautiful symbol of what we proposed to do in teaching to people across the world. This app will help students, teachers and monks to be able to get an app that will help them learn easier at their own pace, whatever time they want. It helps you do better." He explained, "We realized something, we need something more modern, more up to date which works with technology to bring this ancient language to the people.

On April 22, we'll celebrate Earth Day. Once more we'll honor the Earth, talk about our environmental challenges, feel good for having done so, feel depressed about climate change and move ahead to another year of doing ... well, we're not quite sure yet. But we better do something and we better do it fast. According to climate scientists (although they vary in their appraisal of how long this could take), there's no doubt that the trajectory we're on could lead to social upheaval the likes of which we've never seen in the modern era. Entire swaths of nations, even continents, could become uninhabitable due to heat. Such a predicament would create massive food shortages and the implosion of entire economic systems. That in turn would create hundreds of millions of climate refugees, a number vastly beyond anything our systems would be able to absorb. Imagine the equivalent of today's southern border crisis happening pretty much all over the developed world at once, at the same … [Read more...] about Too Little, Too Slow, Too Late is Not an Option | Opinion

An unfortunate consequence of today’s mass consumerism lifestyle is that the average consumer has very little knowledge of the true impact of our buying decisions. It’s a pity but we don’t really know what goes into the product we buy and use. We can only guess at what toll was exacted upon the environment just so we could have those cute slippers with the faux fur trim. And then there’s all that plastic and packaging waste that’s choking our planet to death with every passing second. But we don’t have to stand idly by. Buying from manufacturers whose practices and beliefs align with ecological, ethical practices is an effective and satisfying way to make sure we are truly doing all we can for our precious planet. Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the brands that you can shop and support for this Earth Day. Fashion 1. Pedro After its third consecutive year of celebrating Earth Day in 2020, Pedro launched an eco-conscious line, rePEDRO of which at least one material is … [Read more...] about Shopping green: Celebrate Earth Day with these labels that give back

Monday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson responded to criticism from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) after the organization called for his firing over remarks Carlson made about “replacement” and the types of immigration policy supported by the modern Democratic Party. The FNC host noted the reactions his remarks also inspired from the “little gatekeepers on Twitter,” which he said turned out to be true in this case. However, as Carlson pointed out, the ADL also made a similar argument regarding Israel and the population growth of Palestine. Transcript as follows: CARLSON: Last week, we said something on television that the usual chorus of hyper aggressive liars is now pretending was somehow highly controversial. Ordinarily, we’d ignore all of this. Once you’ve been denounced as a white supremacist for quoting Martin Luther King, you realize none of it is real. It’s all another form of social control. Honestly, who cares what they think? But in this one case, we thought … [Read more...] about FNC’s Carlson: ADL, ‘Little Gatekeepers on Twitter’ Will Fail to Have This Show Pulled Off the Air
