ऑस्ट्रेलिया टीम के पूर्वकप्तानमाइकल क्लार्क ने दावा किया कि 2018-19 टेस्ट सीरीज टीम इंडिया ने इस कारण जीती, क्योंकि ऑस्ट्रेलियाई खिलाड़ियों ने आईपीएल कॉन्ट्रैक्ट के कारण कोहली के खिलाफ स्लेजिंग नहीं की। क्लार्क ने कप्तान टिम पेन को लेकर तल्ख टिप्पणियां की। उन्होंने कहा कि ऑस्ट्रेलियाई टीम आईपीएल के कारण अपना सामान्य खेल नहीं दिखा सकी। क्लार्क ने कहा कि इंटरनेशनल लेवल पर भारत फाइनेंशियल तौर पर शक्तिशाली है। टिम पेन ने क्लार्क की बात का खंडन किया।

पेन ने कहा कि हम कोहली को उकसाना नहीं चाहते थे। ऐसे में वह अच्छा खेल दिखाता है, तो क्लार्क या पेन कौन सही है। मुझे लगता है कि क्लार्क मजबूत, कठोर, टकराव वाले माने जाते थे। लेकिन पेन सरल स्वभाव के हैं। द. अफ्रीका दौरे पर बॉल टेम्परिंग के कारण स्मिथ और वार्नर पर बैन लगा। इससे ऑस्ट्रेलियाई क्रिकेट को काफी अपमानित होना पड़ा। भारतीय सीरीज के पहले ऑस्ट्रेलियाई टीम मैदान पर आक्रमक थी। पेन टीम के नए कप्तान थे। जबकि कोहली बड़ा नाम था। इसका प्रभाव दिखा। बड़े खिलाड़ी दबाव में हमेशा अच्छा खेल दिखाते हैं।

भारत को पहली बार जीत मिली
क्लार्क का बयान अनुचित था, क्योंकि कोहली ने अच्छी कप्तानी कर टीम को पहली बार जीत दिलाई। कोहली ने हालांकि बहुत अच्छा प्रदर्शन नहीं किया जैसा उन्होंने इंग्लैंड और दक्षिण अफ्रीका के खिलाफ किया था। ऑस्ट्रेलिया को उम्मीद नहीं थी कि पुजारा अच्छा प्रदर्शन करेंगे, जो अंत में निर्णायक साबित हुआ। यह, वास्तव में उस सीरीज की वास्तविक कहानी है, जिसे बताया और लगातार बताया जाना चाहिए।

अंचल में हरा सोना अर्थात तेंदूपत्ता की तुड़ाई एवं खरीदी की शुरूआत मंगलवार से हो गई। बागबाहरा वन परिक्षेत्र के अंतर्गत लघु वनोपज सहकारी समिति सुखरीडबरी में इस अवसर पर जनपद अध्यक्ष स्मिता हितेश चंद्राकर के साथ सांसद प्रतिनिधि एवं लघु वनोपज संघ के पूर्व जिला अध्यक्ष हितेश चंद्राकर ने विधिवत पूजा-अर्चना कर खरीदी प्रक्रिया का शुभारंभ किया। वहीं दूसरी तरफ संग्राहकों को 2018 के लाभांश का 750 करोड़ रुपए तक नहीं मिला है। दीवाली के पूर्व ही संग्राहकों के खाता में पहुंच जाना था। जबकि यह राशि राज्य लघु वनोपज संघ में जमा है। संग्राहक-मजदूर दो साल से अपना हक लेने के लिए भटक रहे हैं।
तेंदूपत्ता संग्राहक भरी दोपहरी में परिवार सहित मिलकर तोड़े गए तेंदूपत्ता की गड्डी बनाकर शाम 4 बजे इसे फड़ में पहुंचाते हैं। इसके तहत उन्हें मिलने वाला संग्रहण दर की राशि नहीं मिल रहा है। जिले का लगभग 20 करोड़ सहित प्रदेशभर का लाभांश 750 करोड़ रुपए आज तक वितरण की बजाय अनावश्यक रूप से रोक कर रखा गया है। यह सरकार की मनमानी है। इस मौके पर सुखरीडबरी समिति के देवनारायण महोबिया, खेदु चक्रधारी, गोपाल ध्रुव, केशव ध्रुव आदि मौजूद रहे।
पूर्व मे संचालित योजनाओं को भी फिर से शुरू करें
सांसद प्रतिनिधि हितेश चंद्राकर ने कहा कि राज्य शासन द्वारा तेंदूपत्ता संग्राहकों को उनकी वाजिब हक की लाभांश राशि का तत्काल भुगतान किया जाए। ताकि इस आपदा के समय उन्हें राहत मिल सके। छत्तीसगढ़ सरकार द्वारा तेंदूपत्ता संग्राहकों के लिए जारी अनेक योजनाओं को बंद कर उनके साथ कुठाराघात किया गया है। प्रतिभावान छात्र-छात्राओं को मिलने वाली प्रोत्साहन (छात्रवृत्ति) को भी बंद कर दिया गया है। तेंदूपत्ता मजदूरों को उनके कमाई मे से दिये जाने वाले लाभांश राशि सहित पूर्व मे संचालित योजनाओं को पुनः लागू किये जाने की मांग की गई है।

After suspending Cambridge Analytica from its platform in March, Facebooks data management issues remained the lead social media news story throughout 2018. The companys constant stream of user privacy challenges left little space for other social platforms to make waves — but, some still managed. Twitter put its focus on election integrity and performed a massive purge of bad user accounts. While Facebook and Twitter focused on cleaning up timelines, Snapchat, Pinterest and LinkedIn continued to build out their ad offerings.

Nearly all platforms released new political advertising policies, and you could not open an app without bumping into a Story. (In fact, now that Snapchats original concept has made its way to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, the real question is why does not Pinterest have them?) In its spare time, Facebook did its best to recruit more video creators, YouTube gave its creator base more monetization opportunities, and Instagram launched a video platform. Not to be left out of the mix, Reddit wrapped up its first major redesign in over a decade.

Social media sites and apps are constantly changing and evolving to match the needs of their user base — for good, and for ill. Whether its Facebook Watchs new shows actually making it worth using, or Snapchats reviled redesign, social media changes can be a polarizing topic for the millions of people who use the sites every day.

But sometimes, the changes just raise the whole site or app a bit, and make the experience of using them better (or mercifully less tedious). These are the best social media changes we saw this year.
