There is still a debate which is greener, washing by hand or using a dishwasher, but if you do have a dishwasher or are thinking of getting one, here is some more in-depth knowledge to keep that dishwasher running green. 1.

The Earth is filled to the brim with color, but some places stand out for their breathtaking natural beauty. The most colorful places in the world are often created with the help of pigmented bacteria, millions of years’ worth of sedimentary layering, and erosion. Sometimes colorful nature is incredibly biodiverse, home to thriving ecosystems, and full of opportunities for scientific research and discoveries. Other times, colorful natural landscapes are largely uninhabitable due to extreme weather conditions or lack of resources....

If your dreams of becoming a yoga master didn’t quite work out as planned, chances are you have an old mat or two kicking around the house.

With Safran and Gunn in charge, some big decisions have been made for the franchise’s future.For one, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman 3 is no longer happening, and the actress’ future in the role is now in question....

When someone has been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as long as Tom Hiddleston, they develop a prestige on set with Marvel Cinematic Universe newcomers. Hiddleston is one of the longest-running MCU veterans remaining on the roster. In fact, with future projects in the books for Scarlett Johansson, Hiddleston (along with Chris Hemsworth) is only behind Paul Bettany for longest-running MCU actor. This type of tenure comes with a natural sense of leadership, especially when an actor like Hiddleston emerges as the title character after so many years in a sidekick role....

James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has been a much-anticipated movie for quite a long time. So what’s held up the movie? Well, first there was the snafu between Gunn and Disney, then the director had to make The Suicide Squad, and then he even managed to create an entire Peacemaker television series—all before reuniting with the Guardians. Despite all of those distractions, they did end up bringing something pretty important to the upcoming Marvel movie: Chukwudi Iwuji....

2018’s Black Panther was a monumental film for a lot of reasons. For one, what it was able to do in the name of representation was massive, and endlessly important. While Chadwick Boseman sadly won’t be able to see the franchise move on, his legacy will be forever with the series. There’s another character featured in the first entry that looks to become the most important part of the franchise now: Letitia Wright’s Shuri....

Many people tend to compare the strength of different characters, but what about someone’s intellect?There are a few contenders when it comes to those who rank the highest.For one, there’s the famous Tony Stark, whose technology has done quite a lot in the MCU—both good and bad.

The sequel to one of Marvel Studios’ most financially successful and culturally resonant films, Black Panther is coming in hot. Indeed, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will move the franchise forward in seemingly bold new directions, albeit without its original lead actor, Chadwick Boseman, who tragically passed away in August of 2020. Relatively little is known about the movie’s storyline, although it’s all but confirmed that a certain long-awaited Marvel character will make their debut in it....

One of the newest stars of the MCU is Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ Simu Liu. His tenure as the Master of Kung Fu started last year, and he’ll no doubt go on to see many more appearances in various films within the next few years. A sequel to his solo project has not yet been announced and neither has the heroes’ next cameo—maybe Captain America 4? Either way, the moment someone enters the Marvel Cinematic Universe, their fanbase undoubtedly skyrockets....

Marvel Studios has been on a roll recently. Black Widow finally got to see the light of day, and in doing so did very well for Disney both in theaters and on their streaming service. Even more than that, there have now been three different Disney+ shows which have completed their runs, with each one topping the others’ popularity. There was Wanda’s exploration of grief and trauma in WandaVision, Sam and Bucky’s journey into Steve Rogers’ legacy, and just recently, Loki’s examination of self-identity....

Ms. Marvel holds a key place in the MCU’s Phase 4 slate, as it sets the new hero up for her first movie appearance in The Marvels alongside Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers and Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau....

For a show so focused on time travel and the Multiverse, Disney+’s Loki didn’t venture into other time periods all that much.There were certainly some moments in the first season, such as Tom Hiddleston’s brief stint as D.B. Cooper or trying to find Sylvie in a 2050 climate apocalypse.The biggest example of his visitations to other times was when he and Owen Wilson’s Mobius went to Pompeii before it blew itself out of existence....
