Lana Davis and David Davis set aside their differences and discovered a newfound respect for one another. DALLAS — Last summer, as she watched protestors march against racial injustice, Lana Davis was stunned. Stunned by what she saw in the Facebook comments section. “It was getting really, really sad and depressing and so I guess I was just at a point where I was like, ‘I have to say something,’” Lana said. She directed much of her frustration at one man, in particular: David Davis. She told him that his comments were rude and disrespectful. Lana said she was hoping it would start a conversation, but admits she didn’t expect a response. To her surprise, Lana actually did get a response. She and David went back and forth until eventually, David expressed his disappointment. “And I thought, ‘what am I doing,’” David said. “Somebody once said when you’re talking, you’re not listening. I was doing a lot of talking and not a lot of listening.” David’s change of heart began when he messaged Lana privately and heard her out.  » Read More

A face painted in green, blue and orange stares back at you from a Snapchat camera, like a collage representing the myriad colours of Holi, celebrated with gusto in India, particularly its North.At another time, one can even grow cat or rabbit ears and whiskers with large eyes. Why, you can even get the colour of the iris changed to blue or golden. A piece of psychedelic art?Nope. These are, in lens creation parlance, filters (static overlays over the camera) or lenses. In other words, augmented reality (AR) animations with the use of 3D modeling, which can be created using tools offered by Snapchat’s Lens Studio or Facebook and Instagram’s Spark AR Studio.That itself would be creative hype, but the joy is magnified in the knowledge that many of these lenses are being created by college going kids from India’s rural regions and are accessed by people across the world.Moneycontrol spoke to four such lens creators, who in addition to being popular campus figures, are also raking in the moolah by working with firms in India and overseas.Take for instance 20-year-old Thakur Vivek Singh, an official lens creator for Snapchat.

Nickelodeon has linked up with Snapchat to tap into fan culture and bring outfits featuring some of its classic characters to Snap’s Bitmoji avatars. Snapchatters and Bitmoji users will be able to choose from nine curated outfits, featuring references to SpongeBob SquarePants, Rugrats, Garfield, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which can all be customised further. Users will see their chosen Nickelodeon designs across Snapchat and Bitmoji, including in chat and games, on Snap Map, in lenses, and in personalised content like Bitmoji Stories. “This partnership combines two brands that embody positivity, humour and fun at the heart of everything they do, and we’re excited to launch a collection that caters to our Gen Z and millennial audiences who grew up with these nostalgic characters – and that are still very much loved to this day,” said John Imah, Head of Games & Entertainment Partnerships at Snap Inc.

A Saline County man appeared in federal court Thursday after he was arrested Tuesday afternoon on charges of transportation, possession and receipt/distribution of child pornography after a raid by FBI agents at his home. Daniel Smith, 46, of Hensley appeared by audio before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe for an initial appearance to have his rights explained to him. After determining that Smith was qualified to have legal counsel appointed for him at no charge, Volpe appointed Little Rock attorney J. Blake Byrd to represent him. Regarding bail, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristin Bryant told the judge that the government's request was that Smith be held in detention until trial. Byrd requested to reserve the right to a bail hearing at a later time. "I'll enter a detention order with full reservation rights," Volpe said. "No objection, Your Honor," Byrd said. Smith is currently being held in the Saline County jail. According to an FBI affidavit, Smith came to the attention of federal authorities when the FBI received a tipline report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children filed by the online microblogging and social networking site Tumblr last September. The report noted that 33 files containing child…
