A partnership between Charlottesville Tomorrow, journalist Jordy Yager, and Vinegar Hill Magazine has received $35,000 from the Facebook Journalism Projects COVID-19 Local News Relief Fund Grant for a new series, Determined: Stories of Resilience in a Broken Ecosystem, that examines the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on African American communities through the lens of the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH).

News isnt black and white, and neither is our community, Giles Morris said. In partnering together, Charlottesville Tomorrow and Vinegar Hill Magazine are honoring our shared values and together creating a new model for local reporting that prioritizes inclusion.

Charlottesville Tomorrow was selected from over 2,200 entries alongside 200 other local news organizations (including three in Virginia) who together will receive $16 million in grants as part of Facebooks $100 million global investment in local news.

I think covering health in a local community right now is a really important thing to be doing, said Josh Mabry, Local News Partnerships lead for Facebook. So the fact that you guys are building out comprehensive COVID-19 resources and making sure that the most critical information can be free, thats really important work that I think is very worthy of funding at this moment.

Vinegar Hill Magazine, founded in 2011 by Eddie Harris to support and project a more inclusive social narrative, focuses on lifting up stories of innovation, community activism, and culture in Charlottesvilles African American communities.

With this partnership we hope to further Eddies original mission of creating a more inclusive social narrative in Charlottesville, said Vinegar Hill Magazine Content Manager and Digital Strategist Sarad Davenport. The stars have finally aligned.

In creating Determined, independent journalist Jordy Yager seeks to offer an intimate portrait of people struggling to survive the COVID-19 crisis but also to shine a light on the brokenness of the systems designed to serve our communitys most vulnerable populations.

The pandemic has brought lots of talk and acts of togetherness, and yet, as we see now more than ever, our communities are also filled with injustices that often occur in segregated and isolating realities, Yager said. With this series, we aim to bring you detailed accounts of these long-standing and interconnected systems and the stories of community members waging daily battles, on micro and macro levels, to change and overthrow them.

Digital Humanities Fellow at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center and founder of the Mapping Cville project, Yager recently won a first place for multimedia features from the Virginia Press Association for his Charlottesville Tomorrow story The Reimagining of Friendship Court. His work has been published by National Public Radio, The New Yorker, the Columbia Journalism Review, and many state and regional news outlets.

Jordy has embodied our principles of truth, equity, and community as a local journalist throughout his career, added Charlottesville Tomorrow Editor Elliott Robinson. We are so proud to publish his work again.

Art for the series is the work of Sahara Clemons a multimedia artist, designer and activist born in Washington, D.C., and based in Charlottesville, Virginia. Her work has been shown at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Second Street Gallery, The Bridge Progressive Arts Institute and McGuffey Art Center.

The project, which is being co-produced by Charlottesville Tomorrow and Vinegar Hill Magazine, will appear on both organizations platforms with the goal of reaching the largest, most diverse audience possible.

From the Newsroom - Charlottesville Tomorrow

MASSENA The show must go on COVID-19 or no COVID-19.

Local musicians are unable to play public concerts because of the coronavirus, so theyve taken their music to social media, like Facebook.

Its a family affair for Ben Todd and his family, Alisah, Catie, Jillian and Shannon. They can be found at 6 p.m. Fridays, gathered at their home for Couchfest, an effort that raises money for local organizations. Each Facebook Live performance lasts about an hour, and can be found at https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.todd.58.

Mr. Todd said the original plan by musician Andy Van Duyne was to hold Coronafest at Brick & Mortar Music in Potsdam. But then, as the coronavirus continued to spread, nonessential businesses like Brick & Mortar Music closed their doors to the public.

Because of the way things played out, it didnt come to fruition. So we just changed the name of our series to Couchfest. It just kind of stuck. It gives us something to look forward to, Mr. Todd said.

Couchfest Volume 1 raised money for the Potsdam Rescue Squad. That event did so well that they raised money for the Helping Hands food pantry the following week.

Those two brought in over $2,000 each, Mr. Todd said.

The Todd family followed up with a concert for the Snack Pack program in Potsdam, Theyve also used one of their performances to encourage people to support local restaurants, many of which are still offering takeout service.

They just held Volume 8 on Friday, raising money for support pets for the Office for the Aging.

All in all, I think were up to $8,500 thats been raised. When I say we, its really the people who tune in and click on the donate button. Were giving our time and everybody else is actually donating. There have been some significant contributions in there, Mr. Todd said.

As I contact people who operate these charities or these organizations, I get to hear stories about ways this is impacting other parts of the population. It solidifies the need and the reason for doing this, he said.

Singer-songwriter Shawn Stoddard also takes to the Facebook Live airways from 8 to 10 p.m. Saturdays at https://www.facebook.com/shawn.d.stoddard/. He calls his performances Quarantinepalooza: Streaming Live From the Shed. Session 7 will be held this Saturday.

Until the coronavirus hit, Mr. Stoddard had been booked for performances until mid-December. Once the pandemic hit and businesses closed, the doors were also closed on his income.

My last gig was out in the Carthage area, Great Bend at the Whistle Stop Tavern on March 15. Ive been out of this for six weeks now, he said.

His Facebook Live concerts are free. However, donations are appreciated and can be made at http://www.paypal.me/ninadennypr.

With every donation, the donor will receive a thank you package delivered to their doorstep via the U.S. Postal Service. If someone gave a donation and their child was watching the live stream, they can note that in the comments along with the sex of the child and a gift will be sent to the child.

Donors are also added to a drawing for a chance to win a free two-hour gig once the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Christine Tupper from Colton was the first winner.

Mr. Stoddard recalled how the Black Crowes had performed online at the beginning of the COVID-19 shutdown, and that gave him the inspiration to follow suit.

I decided, What the heck, well come up with a good name for it, he said.

Hell never be at a loss for music. Mr. Stoddard said he has 286 songs to date.

Ive been kind of saving them up over the years, he said.

Viewers will hear music that varies from classic rock to blues. In addition, viewers can make requests during the performance.

Well put up a live feed. Anyone can join the live feed. They can also hit the Share button and start their own Watch Party, he said.

Mr. Stoddard said the plan is to stream Quarantinepalooza live every Saturday until the state reopens for business. Since the stream is live, the posts will be deleted the next morning, along with everyones comments.

Andy Van Duyne was hoping to do live concerts with different artists each week at Brick & Mortar Music, until businesses closed because of the coronavirus. The plan was to find a charity and connect with it.

However, the music went on. While there are no live performances, Mr. Van Duyne had acquired software and video equipment that allowed him to broadcast concert videos by local musicians on Facebook Live. North Country Musicians TV can be found at 7 p.m. Wednesdays at https://www.facebook.com/NCM-TV-107828064193040.

He said the programming allows musicians to reach new listeners for exposure, and serves as a platform to highlight and support programs and charities that assist area residents.

I said, What if I grab a performance from several people... and put together a little package and start doing the show, Mr. Van Duyne said.

The music viewers will see varies. There are fiddlers, classical guitarists, rock bands and more. Some have recorded their music using video on their phone. Others have more elaborate setups with a camera and sound system. And yet others have supplied past concert footage.

Its basically a local music sampler. Theres just an amazing amount of music available. Any style is fair game, so you never know what youre going to hear. Seventy-five percent of the people I use are doing this actively on their own. Most of these people are doing online videos already. Everybody I play has got a Facebook presence, Mr. Van Duyne said.

He highlighted 21 different artists last Wednesday.

It went about an hour and 20 minutes, he said.

As the music plays, a crawler at the bottom of the screen lists organizations that are available for assistance, like food pantries, as well as restaurants that are still open for take-out.

Its ways people can help others or help themselves, he said.

Mr. Van Duyne said when life returns to normal, viewers who enjoyed the musicians can seek them out to hear more.

Whatever bar, whatever restaurant, whatever concert stage, be looking for these people, he said.

Local musicians take to Facebook Live for music sessions - NNY360

Tim's Big Day: Arizona Diamondbacks' and Auburn native Tim Locastro walks to his position in right field during the game against the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y., July 31, 2019. Locastro went to Yankee Stadium once in his life as a seven-year-old fan and now returns for the first time as a major leaguer. Locastro's day wall filled with career firsts for the young player including a solo hom run in the ninth inning.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder and Auburn native Tim Locastro will participate in a Facebook Live interview with The Citizen this week.

Locastro will be interviewed by The Citizen's Robert Harding at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 13. The interview will be streamed live at facebook.com/auburncitizen.

Locastro is in his second season with the Diamondbacks. He batted .250, stolen 17 bases and set a single-season club record with 22 hits by pitches in 2019. He also hit his first major league home run a solo shot at Yankee Stadium against the New York Yankees, the team he rooted for as a youngster.

He was considered a lock for the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster in 2020, but Major League Baseball hasn't played a single regular season game due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It's possible the MLB season will start without fans, but no decision has been made by the league.

Politics reporter Robert Harding can be reached at (315) 282-2220 or robert.harding@lee.net. Follow him on Twitter @robertharding.

Now, you can do a 3D or augmented reality search on Google for about 11 human body systems and several other cellular structures. The feature allows you to move the image, and also view it up close.

Facebook has made a cool face-lift to its webpage. Among the other changes, the social network offers dark mode for its desktop users.

Microsoft is putting any end to the reply-all nightmare by blocking replies to email threads.

Qualcomm launches its new snapdragon 768G processor that will enhance gaming experience and improve performance by about 20%, compared to its predecessor, the company claims.

And finally, AMDs latest line-up of Ryzen Pro processors are out, and they might intensify competition between AMD and Intel.

3D and AR Search on Google

Its one thing to read about the human skeletal system, and quite another to see it up close to understand how it fits together and the different bones in the human body.

It is now possible to explore 11 human body systems with Augmented Reality (AR). Google has partnered with BioDigital, a biomedical visualisation company, to make users do a 3D or AR search of the human body.

You can search for the circulatory system and tap view in 3D to view the heart close up and see how the nerves connect to it. The 3D image also has labels on each part to learn more about it, and view life-size images in AR to better understand its scale.

With this new search feature, users can also explore the Apollo 11 spacecraft in 3D. And not just with large objects, you can now search for the animal cell and zoom into its nucleus to see how it stores DNA.

Google is also partnering with Visible Body, a human anatomy visualisation application, to help people search for mitochondria to learn about it and see whats inside it.

This search feature is available on smartphones and tablets; the 3D search option is not available in PCs.

When you search for animal cell in your phone in a chrome browser, the 3D model search will be listed below. You can click it to view the AR image and learn more.

Facebooks desktop page gets a much-needed face-lift

Facebook has been making a lot of changes to its app; but its webs experience wasnt getting a lot of attention until last years F8 event.

At its developers conference in April 2019, the company said that it was working on a new desktop layout.

On Friday, the social network launched its new Facebook.com page. The face-lift significantly changes the page layout, and enables users to opt into the new dark mode.

The new page is divided into three columns, with the central one showing newsfeeds. This column has four tabs which allows users to switch between their timeline newsfeeds, videos, groups and gaming.

Thats right, the new layout has a separate tab for viewing live games.

The left column has large fonts with a predominant focus to let the user to search for newsfeeds or videos.

And the last column has something more than birthday and anniversary reminders. It lists names of your Facebook friends so you can quickly jump into a chat or video call with them.

Microsofts new reply-all feature

Microsoft is launching a new reply-all block feature for Office 365. The feature is designed to stop reply-all email storms. Its that situation when thousands of people start responding to an email thread because someone forgot to BCC recipients.

The protection feature will be welcome news for large organisations where the reply-all avalanche is most prevalent. It is currently launched to spot 10 reply-all emails to over 5000 recipients in 60 minutes, Microsoft said in a post.

The feature will subsequently block replies to the thread for four hours.

The company plans to gather usage telemetry and customer feedback to tweak, fine-tune and enhance the protection feature to make it more valuable to a broader range of Office 365 customers.

For many college seniors, school is a time for self-exploration, considering options, leisurely contemplating the future.

Yet thats rarely the case for computer engineering students who either attend the worlds best universities or rise to the very top of their classes. Almost immediately after choosing their courses during the first week of school, they typically find themselves at their college career fair, wondering if they should interview with the likes of Google or Facebook . And, when they do, they often receive an offer with a signing bonus and often with a 48-hour exploding deadline.

The perception is that saying no means becoming forever blacklisted by that outfit. But serial founder turned investor Ali Partovi who has enjoyed success over his career with, and alongside, twin brother Hadi insists its smoke and mirrors. There are only so many great students graduating, and there are way, way, way more jobs to be filled than there are CS graduates. Like, the students should be giving the companies deadlines.

To get out that message that students have options and neednt allow big tech companies to narrow these prematurely Partovi is organizing something new. Through his four-year-old networking organization, Neo, and its associated venture fund, he is staging a kind of virtual matchmaking extravaganza on August 8 that introduces students to an entirely different kind of opportunity.

Called Neo Startup Connect, the idea is to introduce students it vets to fast-growing but stable companies like the design software Figma, which just announced $50 million in Series D funding last week.

Partovi thinks there are opportunities to learn a wider number of things at companies that have closer to 100 people than tens of thousands. He also believes theres a world of startups that might align better with students interests, if only they knew about them.

Every day, says Partovi, Ill be talking to a someone who is a top student from, lets say, Princeton, and this person tells me that shes passionate about healthcare and machine learning, and she has a job offer to join Goldman Sachs. And Ill be like, Why would you go join a bank or a hedge fund?'

Of course, its in Partovis interests to foster all of these connections. In fact, Neo Startup Connect is a natural offshoot of what Neo has been working on in recent years, which is trying to identify the strongest engineering talent coming out of schools and promising to invest in anything the students might launch later on based on the belief that theyll invariably become successful. The approach has become more widespread throughout Silicon Valley, but it means playing the long game. With Neo Startup Connect, Partovi can have a more immediate impact on someones future, as well as strengthen Neos relationships to companies that Neo has either backed in the past or might like to back in the future.

In addition to Figma, some companies participating in the event include Forethought, a past TechCrunch Battlefield winner whose AI systems boost customer support productivity; and Notion, a buzzy maker of collaboration software that announced $50 million in funding at the start of the month and counts famed angel investor Ram Shriram as an early backer. None are backed by Neo.

Other participants that have received funding from Neo include the on-demand trucking platform Convoy, which closed on $400 million in Series D funding late last year; Bubble, a no-code point-and-click programming tool that has disclosed just $6.25 million in seed funding to date; and the AI chip company Luminous, which last year raised $9 million in seed funding, including from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick and current Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi (who happens to be Partovis first cousin).

As for the advantage to the students themselves, Neo is promising to not only widen their eyes and their opportunity set, but to make the application process easier by first screening them itself using a coding assessment program used by Quora and other companies, as well as through in-person interviews. (These will be conducted by Partovi, along with a mix of seasoned veterans from the Neo community, he says.)

Whether that screening process fully satisfies participating companies is a question mark. For example, Kris Rasmussen, the vice president of engineering at Figma, says via email that while Neo does a great job of surfacing highly qualified candidates for us from their community, he adds that all Figma candidates go through the same technical interview process.

In other words, there are no shortcuts.

Neos endorsement definitely counts for something. Partovi is highly networked. He has co-founded numerous companies, including LinkExchange, which sold to Microsoft for roughly $250 million in stock in the late 90s. He also has a solid track record of investing in talented founders, including Mark Zuckerberg and Drew Houston of Dropbox.

Ive come to trust that when Ali has vetted someone, theyre going to be world-class in terms of both IQ and EQ, says Deon Nicholas, the CEO of Forethought, whose participation in the August event is a no-brainer. The only hard part is to make sure [the participating students] dont take offers from Google, he adds.

It raises the question of whether its so terrible to start a career with a tech giant in the first place.

Partovi himself interned at Microsoft as a Harvard student, then bounced between Oracle and a tech startup after graduating. Nicholas worked for some sizable companies, too, including Dropbox and Pure Storage.

Not to put too fine a point on things, but Rasmussen also worked for Microsoft straight out of college, though he spent less than a year with the corporate behemoth. Asked over email if he regretted logging time with the company before heading into the startup world and eventually to Figma, he skipped over the question.

Is it possible we ask Partovi that freshly minted college graduates can learn a lot from inside a big company, including how that company works with startups? Is it possible the credential boosts their earning potential? Gives them more options?

Partovi says he wont argue with any of these questions. Different paths are right for different individuals from a corporate job, to joining a startup, to starting your own.

Unfortunately, he continues, even for the most entrepreneurial, top-performing students, the startup path has systemic impediments. Its unmapped, unguided, intimidating, and has structural obstacles. If Neo can help remove these obstacles, hell have succeeded.

In a world where ever bigger companies continue to absorb the best talent, one might argue that society could also benefit from intervention in the way things currently work.

Skipping past the tech giants might not be such a gamble, in any case. According to one former recruiter for Google, most candidates who turn down the company stay on its radar.

In some cases, it will keep trying to hire them for the rest of their lives.

(Note: If youre a student who is interested in participating in Neo Startup Connect, the outfit opened registration today and will be screening candidates through the end of June. Partovi says the plan is to accept and try to place roughly 150 individuals.)

This early Facebook investor wants to find smart students a job at the next Facebook - TechCrunch

LONDON -The name of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Yemeni Nobel Prize winner Tawakkol Karman stood out as an odd addition to the list of Facebook's first 20 oversight board members.

The new oversight body includes four chairs: Former Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Stanford Law School Professor Michael McConnell, Columbia Law School Professor Jamal Greene and Dean of the Universidad de los Andes Faculty of Law Catalina Botero-Marino.

Apart from Karman, other members include Kenyan human rights activist Maina Kiai, Pakistani digital rights activist Nighat Dad and former editor of the Indonesian publication Jakarta Post, Endy Bayuni.

Facebook said it selected the four co-chairs who in turn helped choose the rest of the 16 members.

"The Oversight Board is an external body that members of our community can appeal to on some of the most significant and challenging content decisions we face," announced Facebook.

The social media company pointed out that it expected the members "to make some decisions that we, at Facebook, will not always agree with but that's the point: they are truly autonomous in their exercise of independent judgement."

The decisions by the oversight board are expected to influence "content moderation guidelines" for Facebook and Instagram.

Brent Harris, Facebooks director of public policy, said the company will implement the boards decisions unless doing so violates the law. Over the next few months, the body expects to grow to around 40 total members.

Radicalisation experts believe that by choosing Karman for the influential role, Facebook failed to recognise the link between the Muslim Brotherhood's ideological advocacy and extremist activity.

A number of countries in the region have branded the Brotherhood a terrorist organisation. The terrorist links of the organisation are under investigation in several Western nations. A number of al-Qaeda leaders have initially been active with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Facebook has repeatedly come under fire for failing to adequately address the proliferation of extremist ideologies on its platform. After being assailed by critics, including European legislators, Facebook declared last year its intent to update its policy on "combating hate and extremism."

But ironically, a clarification it issued last September seemed to discount the link between terrorism and extremist ideology.

"We are always looking to see where we can improve and refine our approach and we recently updated how we define terrorist organisations in consultation with counterterrorism, international humanitarian law, freedom of speech, human rights and law enforcement experts," Facebook said. "The updated definition still focuses on the behavior, not ideology, of groups."

When Karman won the 2011 Nobel Peace prize for her "role in Arab spring protests," the Muslim Brotherhood's website, Ikhwanweb, released a statement on Twitter identifying her as a Yemeni Muslim Brotherhood member," sparking widespread speculation and criticism about her connection to the group.

Despite tactical disagreements about alliances in Yemen's war, Karman is a leading figure ofYemen's Islah Party, a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate.

Karman has repeatedly defended the Muslim Brotherhood, even describing the group as "one of the victims of official tyranny and terrorism in the region, which Trump gives his supports and assistance." She has said she believes the movement's role in the region will "necessarily" grow in the future.

Many social media users in the Middle East and North Africa region reacted to Facebook's selection of Karmancwith confusion and derision as the Yemeni writer is more known for her Islamist activism and divisive stances than for public service commitment.

According to experts, Facebook is mainly driven by a desire to influence politicians and decision makers in the West so as to avoid regulatory restrictions that could impact its revenue.

Facebook continues to push specious arguments to create confusion and fear among lawmakers in an effort to maintain the status quo and limit the tech industrys liability and responsibility, said Counter Extremism Project (CEP) Executive Director David Ibsen.

Rather than dictating to public officials on how to keep the public safe, Zuckerberg and his company should instead halt their lobbying efforts and focus on keeping extremist and terrorist content off their platforms," he said.

The choice of Karman to Facebook's advisory board will add to suspicions about the social media body's political leanings and is unlikely to enhance the company's credibility in the Arab world, experts say.

Facebook sparks controversy by naming Brotherhood figure to oversight board - The Arab Weekly

An Indianapolis police officer shot and killed a man who the authorities said had fired toward the officer on Wednesday evening, in an encounter that appeared to have been captured live on Facebook.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said its chief and deputy chief had both been driving home from work at about 6 p.m. when one of them noticed a man driving recklessly and tried to pull him over. The man did not stop, and the officers pursued him for about 10 minutes before being called off by supervisors.

About five minutes later, another officer ran after the man after he saw him park the car behind a building housing a locksmith and flee on foot. After a short chase, the officer shot and killed him.

Chris Bailey, an assistant chief of police, told reporters at the scene that the driver had fired first at the officer. Mr. Bailey said that the officer and the driver were the only ones at the scene during the encounter and that a gun was found near the driver.

Later, a statement from the police said there had been an exchange of gunfire but did not mention who fired first or whether a gun was recovered. The Facebook video that apparently showed the shooting did not show the driver with any gun, though much of the encounter happened off-camera. The officer, who was not injured, had also used his stun gun, the police said.

The officer and the driver were both black, Mr. Bailey said. Neither man was immediately identified by the authorities.

By nightfall, more than 100 people had gathered near the scene in northwest Indianapolis, some of whom chanted No justice, no peace, according to The Indianapolis Star.

The Facebook video, which was widely circulated Wednesday evening, shows a man recording himself as he drives away from a police cruiser, speaking into the phone camera about how he does not want to go to jail.

As he parks the car and flees, he repeatedly asks someone to Please come get me and says he is at the intersection of 62nd Street and Michigan Road. The police later said that the driver who was killed had left his car there.

The police said they had chased the driver after seeing him nearly strike several cars while exiting the interstate. During the chase, the driver operated at speeds nearing 90 m.p.h., the police said.

In the video, the man runs for about 25 seconds before someone shouts at him, at which point he shouts back and appears to fall. For a split-second, what appears to be a police officer can be seen behind him. Moments later, 12 loud bangs can be heard, followed by two more after a brief pause. At that point, about 3,700 people were watching the live video.

After the shooting, a man can be heard saying police-action shooting before repeatedly saying Oh my God and using expletives.

One morbid comment uttered off-camera has drawn wide criticism online. After the shooting, as the dropped phone continued to record the sky above the scene, someone can be heard saying, Think its going to be a closed casket, homie, followed by laughter. It is not clear who made the comment, and police officials did not immediately respond to an inquiry about it.

Mr. Bailey, the assistant chief, said the department was aware of the video and had sought to preserve it as evidence. The officer who shot and killed the driver will be placed on administrative leave as the department investigates.
