Instagram Head Adam Mosseri Says “Threads Is Not Going To Amplify News”

New Instagram app ‘threads’ are not prepared to challenge Elon Musk’s X if statements made by Adam Mosseri recently hold. Instagram head Adam further stated that the company didn’t intend to ‘amplify’ news on this platform. Users can also delete the Instagram account if they don’t prefer the “Threads” concept.

Although his position is not that unsure, it is discourteous if someone is looking to exit X in favor of benefits.

As per Meta’s information, social media platforms, like Facebook and Instagram, have had difficult relationships with news publishers over a few years. They have even had fights regarding publishing fake news, accusations, and clickbait of multiple political biases.  

Meta-owned ‘X’ social media platform has the potential to pull X users who are unsatisfied with Musk’s changes. At an Instagram creator event held last week, Mosseri expressed his statement, “We want to empower creators in general. We try not to slant too hard into the news. We’re not anti-news.”

While it is reasonable to say that Threads might be too new to have this solid approach to handling modern news. The requirement for X alternatives has become more popular in increasing the number of misinformation. Regarding additions, Mosseri is incorrect that Threads is not getting any news. Recently, the company has deleted many news-related search terms, such as ‘covid,’’ the Washington Post,’ and so many others.

Taylor Swift Postpones Rio Concert Following Fan’s Death: Safety Concerns 

Taylor Swift announced the cancellation of her Rio concert amid safety concerns. The high temperatures are also posing as a threat. The statement comes a night after a fan 23-year old Ana Clara Benevides Machado passed away before the singer's era tour. It was held at Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Swift posted on her Instagram stories, saying, “I’m writing this from my dressing room in the stadium. The decision has been made to postpone tonight’s show due to the extreme temperatures in Rio. The safety and wellbeing of my fans, fellow performers, and crew has to, and always will, come first.” The temperatures prevalent in Rio have become a cause for concern. There have been several concerns about the conditions at the concert venue. On Friday, the temperatures reached a height of 35 degrees Celcius in Rio. Swift fans raided the stadium to watch Swift. Video footage from the concert saw Swift perform in front of a crowd of 60,000. It also shows how water was distributed with the music stopping momentarily. “If somebody says they need water when it’s this hot, they really need it." Swift was recorded to have said so. Rio de Janeiro's Mayor Eduardo Paes spoke on the issue, “The loss of a young woman's life yesterday at the show in Engenhão is unacceptable. Obviously, we are still finding out more details about the circumstances of what happened,” he wrote. “In any case, I have already ordered the municipality's Executive Chief of Operations to demand action with the production of the show.” Brazil’s National Consumer Secretary, Wadih Damous, also spoke out following Benevides Machado’s death. He said, “In addition to the Distribution of free water, through ‘hydration islands,’ which are easily accessible and visible to the public, bottles will be allowed for personal use."

Nativity Scene Invokes Simplicity And Joy Pope At Audience

Nativity Scene Invokes Simplicity And Joy: Pope At Audience

At the General Audience, Pope Francis has reflected on the first Nativity scene that was created 800 years ago by St Francis in the small Italian town of Greccio. Pope Francis returned to the image of the creche which was inaugurated 800 years ago by St Francis of Assisi. The Pope explained the reason behind organizing a living Nativity in the small UMbrian town pf Greccio. He said, St. Francis was not trying “to create a beautiful work of art, but, through the Nativity scene, to provoke amazement at the extreme humility of the Lord, at the hardships He suffered, for love of us, in the poor grotto of Bethlehem.” He identified two characteristics of the Nativity scene: soberness and joy. The first characteristic is starkly in contrast to the reality of Christmas given the hyper-consumerism that the holiday now signifies. He proclaimed that “the Nativity scene was created to bring us back to what truly matters: to God Who comes to dwell among us.” The Pope further said that the Nativity scene is not just for children but adults too. “Children — but adults too! — often love to add to the Nativity scene other figures that have no apparent connection with the Gospel accounts. “Yet, each in its own way, these fanciful additions show that in the new world inaugurated by Jesus there is room for whatever is truly human and for all God’s creatures. From the shepherd to the blacksmith, from the baker to the musicians, from the women carrying jugs of water to the children at play: [A]ll this speaks of the everyday holiness, the joy of doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way, born whenever Jesus shares his divine life with us.” Eight centuries later in Greccio, the Franciscan friars have rejoined the Nativity scene themselves.

3 Tips on How to Prepare for Transferring to an American High School

The intake of foreign students by US high schools has been going down gradually, reports China Daily USA. The highest number of transfers currently comes from China (NBC News), but South Korea isn’t that far behind. These students, as well as all others who come to US high schools from foreign countries, face many challenges. Adapting to new circumstances is never easy for teenagers. Therefore, it’s essential to be well prepared to reduce the stress of this change. 3 Tips for International Students Transferring to an American High School Now, let's discuss the top 3 tips for international students transferring to an American high school at present. 1. Get into sports and/or other activities: Sports play an important part in American high schools, so a good way to ease integration is to join a team. Football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, track and field, tennis, and swimming are some of the most popular options. If you aren’t particularly talented in any kind of sport, you will have other activities to get into. Music and drama clubs are very common as well as school newspapers and science clubs. Getting involved in any activity will help the transfer student make new friends and assist with navigating the complex social hierarchy system of US high schools. 2. Get additional training in language and culture: Studying English to pass tests necessary for acceptance into a high school in class will help you get that acceptance. However, being immersed in a new culture and language is very different from the class environment. Getting some help with adaptation both before and during the transition will be a great help. One can work with tutors or get into specialized classes when arriving to the US. Joining extracurricular activities will also help learning both the language and culture. But if possible, one should get some prior experience. According to Forward Pathway, visiting specialized summer and winter camps for students can be an important step for smoothing out their integration. Such camps do not only help children learn more about American culture and improve their English. They get them some experience of the US educational system. Note that some cities in the US offer free English classes in libraries and community centers. Consider checking out those in your area as this will also help you meet new people and better integrate into the community. 3. Choose a high school wisely: It’s essential for international students to choose a high school that will be able to offer exactly what they need. Private high schools in the US might have specialized advanced classes and extracurricular activities that students will need for their future education. Unfortunately, the private education sector in the US is expensive. Public high schools, on the other hand, all comply with the state curriculum. Note that it’s decided by the state, so you need to check out the curriculum before deciding on the transfer destination. You will also need to check what kind of assistance the school can provide to ESL students. If you are looking for maximum immersion in the American culture, a public high school is the best. Private schools are the better choice for specialized education.
