A 17-year-old Muslim girl identified as Nabra was kidnapped and beaten to death early Sunday morning in Sterling, Virginia. She was reported as missing at roughly 4 a.m. and now police believe they have found her body in a pond. According to Buzzfeed, Nabra was headed to Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center with friends at 3:30 a.m. They had taken a break from prayers in order to eat and, having done so, were returning to the Center. But before they arrived, two men with baseball bats emerged from a car and began attacking them. Everyone in the group fled to safety, or so they thought at the time. When the friends reassembled, they realized Nabra was nowhere to be found. “They all dispersed after the incident, and when they met back up they realized she was missing,” ADAMS board member Rizwan Jaka told Buzzfeed. At approximately 3 p.m. officers found the body of a female they believe to be Nabra in Sterling, Virginia. They have yet to confirm her identity. “Our detectiv

Worshippers leaving a London mosque just after midnight on Monday were helping an unwell elderly man when a van deliberately targeted them, eyewitnesses said, driven by an attacker who shouted: “I want to kill all Muslims”. The van swerved towards the people outside the Finsbury Park Mosque in north London just as they began to assist the man, who had collapsed. “He turned left into the alleyway, and he just drove at people,” eyewitness Abdiqadir Warra told AFP. “Some of them he took a few metres. A man was inside in the van, I saw with my eye, and the old man was also on the ground, and I see some people were also injured. Some of them were very bad.” Locals then pounced on the driver and pinned him down while waiting for the police to arrive. “The man, he tried to escape… but they caught the driver,” Warra said. Eyewitness Khalid Amin told BBC television that the van turned deliberately left and “just hit the people”. One man was trapped under the van and peo

Aero Contractors Airline, at the weekend, gave out no fewer than 10 returned flight tickets to members and officials of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), in Sokoto State. The tickets enroute Sokoto-Abuja or Lagos were offered to six corps members who emerged winners at this year’s NYSC beauty pageant show sponsored by the airline. The contestants were drawn from ten Platoon units established in the camp with fashion parades, quiz that centred on both National youths’ scheme knowledge and current affairs. Three NYSC officials were also benefited from the gesture. Speaking at the event, the Station Manager of Aero Contractors, Alhaji Abdulmalik Jubreen, said the gesture was another ways of showing appreciation to corps members flying the airline. Jubreen who described the airline as NYSC friendly flight in the state since its debut operation in 2013, also added that the airline supported the event as part of its social responsibility. His words: “Our target is

The Facebook logo is displayed in a start-up companies   [+] A day after Facebook launched a  blog series  exploring its safety and privacy measures, the  Guardian  has reported that some of the company’s own moderators found themselves at risk on the platform. According to the  Guardian,  Facebook “inadvertently” exposed the personal details of content moderators to suspected terrorist users on the site. The security slip reportedly affected over 1,000 Facebook employees in 22 departments through the company’s moderation software, which employees use to review and, as appropriate, remove content flagged for sexual material, hate speech, or terrorist propaganda, among other things. Approximately 40 of those workers affected were from a counter-terrorism unit in Dublin, Ireland, at Facebook’s European headquarters. The breach reportedly resulted from a bug in Facebook’s moderation software that was discovered in 2016, and which caused the personal profiles of content mod

Instagram is  creating a standardized format  that should make it clearer to everyone when a post has been paid for by an advertiser. These aren’t for ads that businesses buy directly from Instagram, but rather for influencer marketing, where brands pay celebrities and other users with a significant online following to promote their products. It’s an area that every big  tech  and  media  company seems interested in, but it’s also creating questions around disclosure and transparency. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission recently sent letters to  more than 90 influencers  reminding them that they need to “clearly and conspicuously” disclose when their posts are sponsored. That means they shouldn’t hide the disclosure under the “more” button, or use ambiguous language like “Thanks, [Sponsor Name Here]!” Instagram’s Creative Programs Director Charles Porch told me that most influencers and advertisers are looking for a clear, straightforward way to make these disclosures. “

In 600 B.C. in present-day Israel, a soldier named Hananyahu sent his friend a request that many of us might empathize with: Send more wine. He wrote his message on a piece of pottery that archaeologists found in 1965. For years, biblical scholars and researchers have studied the front side of the ink-inscribed pottery shard, known as an ostracon, which was commonly used to write receipts, lists or even letters. They deciphered the Hebrew words about money and Yahweh, which the man had sent to his friend Elyashiv, but it wasn’t until recently that they came across an appeal for alcohol written on the back side. That’s because for nearly 50 years archaeologists thought the back of the ostracon was blank, when really the ink was invisible. Now, using multispectral imaging technology, researchers have unveiled three lines of words hidden on the ancient text message. They published their findings Wednesday in the journal  PLoS One "Getting a letter from Hananyahu af
