The Internet is increasingly populated with false and misleading videos viewed by millions.

The Fact Checker set out to develop a universal language to label misleading online video and hold creators and sharers of this misinformation accountable. wapo.st/manipulatedvid…
Some video is taken out of context; other content is deceptively edited or, in the worst instances, deliberately altered.

This guide is intended to help viewers navigate this dangerous information environment and start a necessary conversation. wapo.st/manipulatedvid…
Misrepresentation: Presenting unaltered video in an inaccurate manner misrepresents the footage and misleads the viewer. Using incorrect dates or locations are examples of subverting context. wapo.st/manipulatedvid…
Isolation: Sharing a brief clip from a longer video creates a false narrative that does not reflect the event as it occurred. Point-of-view videos also belong in this category when they promote only one angle of a story. wapo.st/manipulatedvid…
Omission: Editing out large portions from a video and presenting it as a complete narrative, despite missing key elements, is a technique used to skew reality. wapo.st/manipulatedvid…
Splicing: Editing together disparate videos fundamentally alters the story that is being told. wapo.st/manipulatedvid…
Doctoring: Altering the frames of a video — cropping, changing speed, using Photoshop, dubbing audio, or adding or deleting visual information — can deceive the viewer. wapo.st/manipulatedvid…
Fabrication: Using Artificial Intelligence to create high-quality fake images simulates audio and convincingly swaps out background images. Deepfakes and other synthetic media fall into this category. wapo.st/manipulatedvid…

Exclusive: ICE raids targeting as many as 2,000 migrant families are slated to start Sunday in major U.S. cities wapo.st/2Y3DNE7
Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan has urged ICE to conduct a narrower, more-targeted operation that would seek to detain a group of about 150 families that were provided with attorneys but dropped out of the legal process and absconded. wapo.st/2Xp222t
McAleenan warned that arresting migrants in their homes and at work sites risks separating children from their parents in cases where the children are at day care, summer camp or friend’s houses and not present for the raids wapo.st/2Xq9XwA

He always hated women.

Then he decided to kill them.

His attack at a yoga studio offers a chilling look at male supremacy, a movement with ties to other hate groups. wapo.st/2IvyLcL
Male supremacy is a hatred that experts in extremism warn is becoming more common and more dangerous, providing what amounts to a new feeder network for white supremacy and neo-Nazi groups. washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
Misogyny is being stoked within hundreds of online chat rooms and forums, echo chambers of grievance that drive some men to cyberbullying and a far smaller number to violence. washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

Stoked to announce @ZooKeys_Journal published our @BatumiRaptors data paper! It explains how our #citizenscience project monitors the autumn #migration of >1.000.000 #raptors in the Eastern Black Sea Flyway, and how to use our #openaccess data @GBIF/@NLBIF! - 1/n

#ornithology
Many #raptors migrate primarily by thermal #soaring. To do so they travel by day and avoid high mtns and open sea. This leads to spectacular raptor aggregations in overland #flyways. One of the world´s largest raptor flyways occurs along the eastern Black Sea coast in SW Georgia.
The Eastern Black Sea Flyway has its narrowest point just north of #Batumi, where the coast and Lesser Caucasus form a clear "bottleneck". The mtns are not extremely high but present a significant barrier for #raptors on #migration due to low and dense cloud cover. @BatumiRaptors

I have other airing out to do- I'll start sometime before #LivePD starts. I can unequivocally prove a KNOWING, SPANNING, & HIGHLY ILLEGAL PLOT, that violated every last right, every iota of sanctity, and does implicate, Judges, Sheriff Employees, Multiple Public Defenders, etc..
I know this is probably pissing in the wind, but, hey @PascoSheriff #PascoSheriff @ChrisNocco think I can get the 1-24-19 courtroom video? You know, the one where public defenders try to SET ME UP & ATTACK ME? In knowing allowance and knowing participation with the judge no less?
You all know, the day where false #discoveries were slammed in my lap to goad me on to outburst as my lawyer got LOUD ON PURPOSE? Where I finally got back subpoened evidence that was purposely kept from me for a year and half? #LivePD doesnt though, so for refreshers....

#Tathya with Apoorvanand
In the context of the Sajjan Kumar conviction in the 1984 genocidal violence against Sikhs, we need to rethink about other incidents of violence that have happened in the country, says Prof. Apoorvanand.
We wish you a #MerryChristmas with the Christian Qawwals of Delhi.
"People look at me and wonder who I really am. I have only one answer for them. I am you," says Bernard Rufus, also known as Sahil Sufi Nizam, a popular singer of Christian Qawwalis.

My Dear Igbo Compatriots, your leaders, not President Buhari, are your enemies

Politics anywhere in the world is a fierce battle. Like war, all is fair in politics. In Nigeria, tribe & religion determine, to a very extent, political victories

I wonder if the above assertion is debatable. I have seen a lot to come to this conclusion
In my entire political life, i do not know a Nigerian politician who's loved and hated in equal measures like the current occupant of Aso Rock - PMB

Like all mortals, PMB has his weaknesses and these weaknesses have been over-exaggerated by his political foes

That's politics!!

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
