Some general comments about #WhatsApp forwards (especially during emergencies). Please try and verify news, before blindly forwarding. (1/n)
Google for more details, check multiple sources, VALIDATE against Websites/Twitter/Facebook feeds of 'official', 'verified' entities. (2/n)
When forwarding information, try and avoid plane text (it has no validating authority or time-stamp). Instead forward validated links. (3/n)
Example: instead of forwarding a traffic update text, better to forward this link from a validated source: (4/n)
Most 'official' authorities on Twitter, Facebook have a 'verified' "Blue-Tick". Or visit official websites of city/state/center govts. (5/n)
...and once again, do check the TIME-STAMP of the official news update as well. I have seen 'official' but old news getting forwarded. (n/n)

Today is 158th birth anniv of Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande.
He wrote the first modern treatise on Hindustani classical music.

Bhatkhande traveled throughout India, meeting with ustads and pandits, and researching music, and studying ancient texts.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu_Na…
"After the death of his wife and his daughter, Bhatkhande abandoned his legal practice and devoted the rest of his life to systematizing the prevailing forms of Hindustani music and building on that system a coordinated theory and practice of music."
"Bhatkhande's first published work, Swar Malika, was a booklet containing detailed descriptions of all prevalent ragas. In 1909, he published Shri Mallakshaya Sangeetam, in Sanskrit, under the pseudonym 'Chatur-pandit'."

The government filed a motion last night asking the judge to impose sanctions on one of El Chapo's lawyers.

The issue: El Chapo's wife used a cellphone in court, which prosecutors say led to "unuathorized" and "impermissible" contact with her husband

documentcloud.org/documents/5296…
El Chapo is being held under strict "Special Administrative Measures" or SAMs which prevent him from having contact with basically anyone other than his lawyers, including his wife. Such contact "could result in death or serious bodily
injury to others."
The motion is heavily redacted but prosecutors claim to have video evidence that shows El Chapo's wife used the phone "in concert with an attorney visit" following two trial days last week.

With the White House allegedly doctoring footage to make it look like @CNN's Jim Acosta assaulted a journalist, & cos a lot of folks didn’t pay attention in history class, I figured I’d talk briefly about the of doctoring images by those in power, to rewrite the past. THREAD /1
These days it’s criminally simple to alter footage, even more so to edit a photograph. This wasn’t always the way, however. In order to successfully alter an image, not only were photographic skills needed, but a very handy eye with scalpel, glue, paint and other tools. /2
This meant that images, on the main, were more trusted - look at the Cottingley Fairies. To us, they look like laughable fakes, but they sucked in a hell of a lot of people at the time, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. /3 qz.com/911990/the-cot…

Totally didn’t start out to make this an MC Escher tweet experiment, but here we are. If you haven’t already, read all this, and then we’re going to talk about something called Reflexive Control
twitter.com/i/moments/9853…
Reflexive control is an old Soviet tactic. Here’s a formal definition:
a means of conveying to a partner or an opponent specially prepared information to incline him to voluntarily make the predetermined decision desired by the initiator of the action.
There are lots resources about this on the web, but this is the most mainstream/digestible article I’ve found so far:
