The statement read, "First of all we would like to wish everyone Ramadan Mubarak and encourage everyone to be kind and peaceful always but furthermore on the holy month of Ramadan. We felt it was necessary to clear up the matter officially regarding Mc Stan since Abdu is receiving some backlash and hate without the public actually knowing any scenario. On March 20, Sajid Khan visited Abdu and Mc stan was calling Sajid's phone. Abdu was so excited and happy to speak to Stan taking the phone "Salamalaikum mere dil, mere jaan how are you my brother I miss you so much."

In a recent podcast, MC Stan revealed that at the after-party of Bigg Boss 16, Salman Khan gave him golden advice that he will never forget. He said, "I was surprised to see that Salman sir spoke to me so humbly, he is a person like us. He gave me advice that I will never forget. He told me that now I will see people around me who will keep influencing and boasting to me for their profit and I need to be aware of such people. I did notice after becoming the buzz, I came across such people and started shutting them away."

MC Stan further shared in the podcast about his habit of maintaining exclusivity. After Bigg Boss 16 he lost that filter and now people have come closer to him. However, this has its pros and cons too. He said, "I want to keep things under wraps because, from the place I come, everything is dangerous and life-threatening. One of the major reasons why I didn't want my family to come to Bigg Boss 16. I didn't want my brothers' normal lives to come into the limelight, neither my mom nor Buba. Now that they are, I am being extra careful."

MC Stan revealed that he had witnessed his friend's murder on his birthday. He got candid about the incident on the podcast and said, "We were cutting the cake of his birthday on the street and there were few goons who had come to celebrate the birthday too. They removed talwars and auzars and with the same talwar that my friend cut the cake with, he got stabbed. My other friend and I were shell-shocked. We went home running and I puked remembering the bloodshed. I was disturbed by this incident for a long time. Since then, I wanted to leave the neighbourhood and settle in a safer place."

The statement further mentioned how during Stan's Bengaluru show, his management misbehaved with him, "11th March Abdu and Stan were both in Bengaluru. Abdu spoke to Stan's manager saying he wanted to support his brother by attending and not performing to which Abdu got a response from security team and organizers that Stan does not want Abdu in the venue. Abdu then thinking this was a mistake from the stan team, tried to go to the venue as a normal guest with a ticket only to be sworn at very bad words by Stan's management and to be turned away at the normal entrance and have the car damaged and panels broken. (sic)"

Abdu's team also revealed in the statement that few music labels wanted MC Stan and Abdu's collaboration but the rapper's turned them down saying he doesn't want to work with Abdu, "Following these events two record labels have called stating that they wanted collaboration between Abdu and Stan but they were informed by Stan and his team do not wish to work with Abdu. Abdu never asked for these collaborations or requested, these were independent labels who wanted this collab. Abdu was naturally disappointed and saddened due to the response as he believed him and Mc Stan are friends and naturally out of manners and respect discussing these things privately first before public hearing is more respectful."

Media statements – Have your say on the State’s new screen … – Media Statements

The community is invited to have their say on the development application for Western Australia's first dedicated screen production facility.

The facility is proposed to be located along Marshall Road, to the south of Whiteman Park, and would provide purpose-built sound stages and other onsite screen production facilities to enable the production of film, TV and screen projects.

The development application has been submitted by Home Fire Creative Industries Pty Ltd, the preferred proponent as part of the active Market-led Proposal. The application includes architectural designs and technical reports for traffic, waste and bushfire management, and landscaping.

The Western Australian Planning Commission will consider the application as the proposed site is located within the recently approved Planning Control Area 174 - METRONET Bennett Springs North (Marshall Road).

This PCA will ensure the coordinated and strategic development of the land within this area to ensure proposals align with the purposes identified for the land.

If the Market-led Proposal is approved by the State Government, Home Fire will construct, operate and maintain the facility.

Comments on the development application close at 5pm, Friday 30 March 2023 and can be made by visiting https://consultation.dplh.wa.gov.au/land-use-planning/screen-production-facility

Comments attributed to Planning Minister Rita Saffioti:

"I encourage everyone with an interest in Western Australia's screen industry to have their say on the development application for the proposed screen production facility.

"The recent announcement identifying the new proposed site along Marshall Road, in the vicinity of the Malaga METRONET station precinct, has enabled Home Fire to undertake the necessary plans and assessments to complete the development application.

"The site is part of the recently approved Planning Control Area which is in the vicinity of future strategic community and employment hubs in Perth's growing north-east with two high-frequency train stations, homes and businesses, and now the potential for a one-of-a-kind screen production facility.

"The PCA will enable coordination of all upcoming development within this area to ensure the corridor benefits from the McGowan Government's significant infrastructure investment."

Comments attributed to Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman:

"The McGowan Government is committed to delivering a screen production facility to help attract film, TV and screen projects to WA.

"It was a 2021 Election commitment and is a component of the WA Screen Industry Strategy, which is currently being developed to ensure the State is best placed to grow the film and screen sector over the coming decade.

"I am excited about the opportunities that a facility of this kind can bring to our passionate and extremely talented creative sector. I encourage you to have your say on this next step."

Opportunity to support sustainable growth of agriculture in the Tweed – Tweed Shire Council

Council is seeking expressions of interest from members of the community to join two management committees: the Rural Land Industry Management Committee and the Koala Beach Wildlife and Habitat Management Committee.

Manager Sustainability and Environment Jane Lofthouse said the management committees would play a significant role in decision-making, by providing advice, recommendations and support to achieve important sustainability and environmental outcomes in the Tweed.

To support sustainable primary production on local farmland and the productivity of our agricultural sector, the newly establishedRural Land Industry Management Committee will use their experience and knowledge to provide advice, recommendations and support to Council, which in turn will lead to better outcomes for our Shire, Ms Lofthouse said.

Member responsibilities for this committee include communication and policy advocacy between industry, rural landholders and government on issues relating to agriculture, delivering on-ground regenerative farming activities in their respective industries and recommending opportunities that will enhance sustainable agricultural industries in the Tweed.

Council staff really value the support, advice and recommendations we receive from these management committees and so it is important we have the right representation.

I encourage passionate, experienced, local people engaged in agricultural businesses or those with a related qualification like planning, agronomy or economics to get involved. There are a number of successful local agricultural enterprises in the area that we can look up to, but it is only by working together that we can make the Tweed better tomorrow than it is today.

This new committee will consist of 10 members to be appointed for the current term of Council and will meet twice a year.

Council is also seeking expressions of interest from residents and landowners interested in joining the Koala Beach Wildlife and Habitat Management Committee.

Koala Beach Estate is a residential development located between Pottsville and Hastings Point on the Tweed Coast. The development includes 270 hectares of bushland reserved for nature conservation and is home to at least 24 threatened species and ecological communities.

Each property owner in Koala Beach Estate pays a special rate which contributes to the ongoing management of its environmental values, Ms Lofthouse said.

The Koala Beach Wildlife and Habitat Management Committee is one formal way that residents and landowners at Koala Beach can provide input to the management of the unique environmental values of the estate.

Find out more about the committees, roles and responsibilities and complete an Expression of Interest form at yoursaytweed.com.au. Expressions of interest close on 19 April 2023.

National Poison Prevention Week reminder: Poisonings are … – OHSU News

This National Poison Prevention Week is a great time to consider poison risks in the home and take steps to make the environment safer by keeping and storing all potentially poisonous substances, including medicine, up high and out of reach and sight of children. (Courtesy of Safe Kids Worldwide)

Each year, the Oregon Poison Center at Oregon Health & Science University manages 50,000 cases from families, medical professionals and others in the community seeking information and emergency treatment advice about poisonings. About 90% of these cases are people coming into contact with dangerous or potentially dangerous substances 75% of which are unintentional or accidental.

To reduce the number of these incidents, during National Poison Prevention Week, March 19 - 25, the Oregon Poison Center at OHSU reminds the community that poisonings are preventable and urges practical safety precautions at home.

The top causes of Oregon Poison Center cases each year are from household cleaners, personal care products, alcohol and drugs, and medicines, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins and supplements. The unique geography and potential hazards in the centers service area means it also treats exposures to cannabis, marine biotoxin and envenomation, or animal venom, as well as wild mushroom and plant poisonings, among others. While not every exposure is considered toxic, some substances are especially dangerous, even in small amounts.

Robert Hendrickson, M.D. (OHSU)

The accidental poisonings that we are most concerned about are medications, because they can lead to the most severe injuries, says Rob Hendrickson, M.D., medical director of the Oregon Poison Center at OHSU and professor of emergency medicine in the OHSU School of Medicine.

Poison prevention starts with safe storage: It is critical to store medicine, cannabis and other potentially poisonous substances safely, especially if there are children in the home, Hendrickson says. Simple measures like using a medicine lock box can have a big impact.

On average, 90% of poisonings happen in homes. National Poison Prevention Week is a great time to consider poison risks in the home and take steps to make the environment safer.

Strategies for preventing poisonings include:

More poison prevention tips, information and other poison safety resources are available at theOregon Poison Centerwebsite or by request from the center.

What is Media? – Definition from Techopedia

Media is the plural form of medium, which (broadly speaking) describes any channel of communication. This can include anything from printed paper to digital data, and encompasses art, news, educational content and numerous other forms of information. Anything that can reach or influence people, including phones, television, and the Internet can be considered a form of media.

In the context of informatics, media means both the devices used to store data (hard drives, CD-ROMs, diskettes, etc.) as well the ones used to transmit it (cables, wires), or even propagate it in its many forms (videos, sounds, podcasts, etc.). In modern times, media are gravitating more and more towards the digital side of this field.

Modern digital media include all forms of communication that are transmitted electronically across the world through computer networks and fiber optic cables. Some of these modern forms of media, such as the Internet or social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) have completely revolutionized our world.

The history of media is often (somewhat jokingly, but also seriously) seen as a tautology. Recorded history itself requires some form of media on which it can be stored and passed along through time. The innovation of printing press technology culminated in many different shifts in Western culture, from the intellectual realm to the legal space and beyond.

Twentieth century digital technology gave rise to digital media, which in turn facilitated the creation of the internet. Academic research, in addition to American military support, led to the development of ARPANET, in which the decentralization of data and packet-switching technology foreshadowed the rise of the internet, and thus framed the modern digital media landscape.

There are several forms of media available today, although some have fallen into obsolescence already:

Traditional media includes newspapers, journals, radio, television, magazines, and even billboards. Traditional media is broadly divided into two subcategories: print media and broadcast media.

Print media is the oldest form of media and includes all types of printed paper publications, such as newspapers, magazines, books, reports, clinical journals, leaflets, essays etc.

Broadcast Media was introduced at the beginning of the 20th century in the form of radio and (later) television. As the introduction of TV downsized the importance of radio as a means for people to access information in the form of news, broadcast TV is now starting to fall behind as online media sources take over.

Digital media, which makes up an increasingly vast portion of modern communications, is comprised of intricately encoded signals that are transmitted over various forms of physical and virtual media, such as fiberoptic cable and computer networks. Modern digital media include the Internet as a whole, but on a more granular level, media is used to indicate websites, blogs, podcasts, videos, digital radio stations, and mobile phones, as well as the communication methods used to transmit data such as instant messaging, video calls, and emails.

Computer media is a term that is often used in informatics with several different meanings. It is used to describe the electronic devices used to store data, such as hard drives, USB drives, DVDs, CD-ROM, and floppy disks. It also refers to the transmission media (cables) used to link workstations together such as coaxial cables, fiber optic cables, and traditional electrical wires (twisted-pair wires). More broadly, all technologies used to communicate information such as videos, pictures, sounds, and presentations are often referred to as media or multimedia (if they combine different types of media).

Mass media include all of those media channels which can reach a large number of people at the same time. Traditional mass media include TV and radio channels, as well as national and international magazines, while digital mass media mostly refers to social media platforms and popular online magazines. Some find it reasonable to include some video games such as massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs).

Social Media have been mentioned already, as these platforms are included in both the mass media and digital media categories. They consist of applications and websites used by people to share content in real-time, using their computers or smartphones. They represent a revolutionary technology that influenced the last decade by allowing everyone to share virtually any kind of information at the global level
