Instagram to Introduce “Take a Break” to Protect Teens From Harmful Content

Instagram has caught flak recently for having harmful content that’s causing mental health issues in teens. As a result, the social media giant is now trying to mitigate the problem by introducing a new feature called “take a break”.

Facebook vice president of global affairs Nick Clegg said that:

We’re going to introduce something which I think will make a considerable difference, which is where our systems see that a teenagers is looking at the same content over and over again, and it’s content which may not be conducive to their well being, we will nudge them to look at other content.

He added that they are pausing work on the Instagram Kids apps and giving parents optional controls to supervise teens. They are planning to introduce a “take a break” feature instead which will simply tell teens to take a break from Instagram or steer them away from harmful content.

Clegg did not reveal a timeline for this feature, but a Facebook spokesperson has told The Verge that the feature is not in testing yet, but it will be soon. This means that we will likely not see it this month, but near the end of the year. Instagram head Adam Mosseri has also said that they are currently “exploring” new features.

We will update this space as soon as there are new updates.

Financial Crisis in Sindh’s Boards May Delay Exam Results

The deepening financial crisis in several Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) of Sindh has made it difficult for boards to pay salaries to their employees.

According to reports, depletion of funds has been reported in Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Larkana, and Sukkur educational boards, due to which salaries of the employees have been delayed.

For the second consecutive month, the Mirpur Khas board released salaries with a week’s delay, while other boards issued salaries using savings accounts due to a lack of funds in their general accounts.

The financial situation of the matriculation and intermediate boards of Karachi is not very encouraging either. According to reports, they will not have enough money in their accounts to pay salaries after December.

The boards made several requests for funds from the provincial government but to no avail.

Chairmen of the boards have said that they will not be able to compile the examination results if funds were not released immediately.

“Such a situation may lead to a delay in announcement of results, which could disturb the entire academic calendar,” an official of the Hyderabad education board said.

He said that the board employees would go on strike from 11 October.

Meanwhile, the All Pakistan Clerks Association has also threatened to boycott work in offices if the funds for their salaries are not released.

Afridi Reveals the Opening Pair Who Should Replace Babar & Rizwan in World Cup

Former Pakistan captain, Shahid Afridi, believes that the explosive opening batters, Sharjeel Khan and Fakhar Zaman, should be the openers for the national T20 team. Afridi opined that the power-hitting ability of the duo should be utilized in the powerplay as they possess the ability to take the game away from the opposition in the first six overs.

Afridi talked about Pakistan’s T20 team in a video on his official YouTube channel. Afridi said that both the openers should be properly used in T20 cricket as both of them are match-winners.

“Everyone has their opinion, but I think that Fakhar Zaman and Sharjeel Khan should be Pakistan’s openers in T20 cricket. Even if one of them clicks, we will win the game inside the first six overs,” Afridi stated.

The legendary all-rounder said that Pakistan’s decision to use Fakhar in the lower middle-order does not make sense as Fakhar has played as an opener throughout his career. He said that Fakhar has the ability to take on the opposition and should be played in his natural position as he can shift the momentum towards Pakistan in the powerplay.

Fakhar has been demoted down the order to accommodate an opening partnership of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, both of whom have been in sublime form. The two batters have been Pakistan’s most successful batters over the past year and have scored heavily as an opening pair.

The 44-year old also commented on wicket-keeper batter Azam Khan’s exclusion from the 2021 T20 World Cup squad. Afridi said that Azam is not ready for international cricket and advised him to work on his batting and fitness to make a comeback to the national T20 side.

Mohammad Amir Takes a Dig at Pakistan’s Selection Policy

Former Pakistan pacer, Mohammad Amir, has taken a sly dig at Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) selection policy for the upcoming 2021 T20 World Cup. Amir hinted that PCB decided to make changes to Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad after pressure from the cricketing fraternity.

PCB decided to make three major changes to the initial squad as the former captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed, young exciting batter, Haider Ali, and explosive opener, Fakhar Zaman, replaced Azam Khan, Khushdil Shah, and Mohammad Hasnain in the 15-man squad.

Amir took to Twitter to take a dig at the PCB. Amir tweeted that fast bowler, Wahab Riaz, and opener, Sharjeel Khan, should have been included in the squad as well but the PCB decided to select two players of their liking and were forced to select the other due to media pressure.

Amir tweeted, “I still believe Shoaib Malik, Sharjeel Khan and Wahab Riaz should be in the squad, but hwa wohi hai 2 tere or 2 mere but it’s time to support our team.”

Veteran middle-order batter, Shoaib Malik was included in the squad later on as middle-order batter, Sohaib Maqsood was ruled out of the tournament after suffering a back injury.

Amir expressed his delight at Malik’s inclusion and tweeted in his support once again.
