'Our Safe Home' initiative to promote cohesive society, family stability

Suhar: The General Directorate of Social Development in Al Batinah North Governorate has officially launched the 'Our Safe Home' initiative, aiming to strengthen family bonds and promote societal stability. The event, hosted at Al Khaleej Hall in the Wilayat of Saham, was held under the auspices of Dr Khalid bin Ali al Alawi, General-Director of Consumer Protection in the governorate, and was attended by community leaders, social specialists and local families. This initiative reflects the Ministry of Social Development's broader commitment to fostering a cohesive, resilient society, which is one of the key pillars of Oman Vision 2040. By supporting family well-being and raising awareness of evolving social dynamics, the programme contributes directly to the Vision's priority of empowering human capital and safeguarding the identity and unity of Omani society. Three impactful presentations were featured at the launch. The first, "Red Flags," delivered by Mohannad al Jahwari, focused on early indicators of family distress and the importance of early intervention. The second, "Generation Z in a World of Comparisons," presented by Thuraya al Qartoobi, tackled the pressures faced by young people, especially those stemming from social media, peer comparison, and identity development. The final presentation, "Digital Upbringing in a Rapid World," by Laila al Mazrouei, discussed how digital life is reshaping parenting methods and communication within families. A closing panel discussion moderated by psychologist Ali al Zadjali offered further reflection on how Omani families can adapt to rapid societal and technological changes. The event witnessed a wide range of attendees, proving the popularity of the concepts discussed. Alia al Balushi, a mother from Saham, said, "It gave me real insight into the digital world my children are growing up in." Salim al Hosni, a university student, added, "Hearing professionals talk about our generation's struggles made me feel supported and understood." By launching such initiatives, the ministry contributes meaningfully to the goals of Oman Vision 2040, building a socially secure, mentally resilient, and future-ready nation.

'You've got super Max'- Former Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner warns McLaren as Max Verstappen remains unbeatable

Guenther Steiner warned McLaren to maintain perfection, as Max Verstappen remains their biggest threat despite their current dominance this season. (Credit: Getty Images) Former Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner has warned McLaren that for them to remain on top, they have to be close to perfect, as they should consider Red Bull's ace Max Verstappen their biggest threat. McLaren has the fastest and most reliable car this season and is leading the team championship, and their drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri , are also leading the driver standings after doing really well at the Miami Grand Prix. Operation Sindoor India's air defence systems shoot down Pak drones in J&K, Punjab & Rajasthan India-Pakistan tensions: Delhi airport issues travel advisory Operation Sindoor: Multiple explosions heard at several Pakistan air bases Gunther Steiner on how McLaren could remain in top spot In the Miami Grand Prix, McLaren finished first and second, with Mercedes' George Russell landing in third—almost 38 seconds behind them. So far this year, McLaren has only lost one race, which was in Japan, where Verstappen won. During the races, McLaren has been working well when it comes to managing their tyres. But when it comes to qualifying, which is just one lap to set a fast time, they've shown some weakness and can be beaten. So McLaren still has to focus. Guenther Steiner, Former principal of the Haas F1 Team , while speaking on Red Flags podcast said: "We all know that McLaren's the best car at the moment. In the sprint race, yeah, they won it, but it was not so dominant. ' Guenther Steiner's 2025 Miami GP Review | Vankah Hours S2E7 He said: "In the race, over distance, [they have] the better tyre management. What are the takeaways? They are the strongest team out there. But they still in qualifying, they didn't get it on pole. There's still work to do for them as well. So I wouldn't say that they are as dominant as some other teams were in the last few years. They still need to get everything perfect to be dominant." Gunther Steiner warns McLaren of Max Verstappen While Red Bull's ace Max Verstappen managed to secure pole position in at least 50% of the grands prix this year, with McLaren being very beatable in qualifying. However, he has not been able to fight the McLaren duo this year, as it has been very close, yet too extreme. Guenther Steiner explained: "I think, first of all, you've got super Max in a qualifying lap, It's the guy as well. He can pull it off the one lap, because the car gives him one lap. But it's just the tyres. They degrade quicker than the other teams. But in one lap, they can get it done."
