The mask becomes all the more important when you are attending a gathering - social, political or religious.So, what does one do while attending a wedding? Well, there can't be any compromise with masks. If you are fond of jewellery, this picture shared by IPS officer Dipanshu Kabra could help you a bit.On May 7, Mr Kabra shared a picture of a woman attending a wedding function, wearing a pink sari and all her jewellery.

Mario joins in on the fun by Liam Doolan 3 hours ago © NintendoTwitter users this week got quite the surprise when the social media platform announced it would allow "bigger and better" images to be shared within tweets. Basically, photos will now be displayed in all their glory. Apart from users, video game companies have also joined in on the celebrations by sharing extra tall and wide photos. Earlier today, Nintendo of America tweeted a full-size render of Pokey from the Super Mario games. Of course, this didn't stop fans from speculating about what else it might mean... If you want to see the lower half of the Pokey, head on over to Twitter. Nintendo Europe and Australia also shared a few more images. One of Mario on a flag pole and the other of a Piranha Plant: And here are some other gaming companies who have used this as an opportunity to promote their own products and series: What do you make of the Pokey Nintendo posted? Think it could lead to anything else? Share your thoughts down below.

Much like several other celebrities, Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar have been doing their bit to help people during the Covid-19 crisis by amplifying calls for medical help, donating oxygen concentrators and also urging others to help in whatever way possible. However, a Twitter user accused Akshay Kumar and his family of not doing enough for the people during the pandemic. Twinkle responded to the user by saying how she and her family have been helping people in multiple ways to fight the battle against Covid-19.TWINKLE RESPONDS TO TWITTER USER’S ALLEGATIONOn May 5 (Wednesday), Twinkle Khanna shared a post on Twitter wherein she urged people to donate for oxygen concentrators for hospitals in India so that more lives can be saved. This was an initiative in association with ANNADA and Daivik Foundation. A retired IAS officer shared Twinkle’s post on Twitter and wrote that Akshay Kumar is one of the richest artistes in the country and it would have been better if their family would have shown a little more kindness. The user tweeted in Hindi, which roughly translates to, “Twinkle ji, your husband is among the richest artistes in this country. Rather than pretending to help people by collecting…

There’s nothing sexier than safety and incremental reach, and Twitter touted both during its NewFronts presentation on Wednesday. “The TV-like quality of the content is clear,” said JP Maheu, Twitter’s VP of US client services. To be fair, Twitter does have partnerships with numerous premium publishers, including a long-standing relationship with NBCU. And there’s more: new deals with Tastemade, Refinery29 and music encyclopedia Genius and content agreements with the MLB and the NHL. But brand safety has been a perennial challenge for a service that bills itself as home base for “what’s happening,” because sometimes what’s happening is toxic. And so alongside its new content deals, Twitter highlighted a new pre-roll offering called Curated Categories, whereby Twitter-curated sets of publishers are bundled around specific themes and niche topics. Think “light-hearted content,” “basketball,” “soccer” or “gaming personalities.” “We have a social and ethical responsibility to make Twitter a safe place for everyone – including brands,” said Doug Brodman, Twitter’s director of agency and platform solutions in North America. Epic Battle Let the…

Twitter has announced a range of new video partnerships at its annual NewFronts event, including exclusive sports content from the MLB, WNBA and NHL, new news broadcasts from NBC, and other, exclusive video agreements that will further expand Twitter's partner content slate. The big focus this year, at least from a sporting perspective, will be the Tokyo Olympics - if, of course, the event does indeed go ahead amid the ongoing pandemic. Twitter confirmed in 2019 that it had secured a deal for exclusive Olympics content (when it was scheduled for 2020), and today, the platform provided further details its arrangement with NBC, which will include an original live video show for Twitter called 'Talkin’ Tokyo', hosted by Adam Rippon and featuring other Olympic celebrities. NBC will also host a daily poll which will let Twitter users vote on a 'live look-in' on NBC’s Primetime or Primetime Plus Olympic broadcasts each night, while it will also supply real-time video highlights throughout each day of the event. On other sports, Twitter will also continue to broadcast live content and highlights from MLB, live pre-game shows for the NHL, while it will also air 12 live WNBA games throughout the season. Twitter has also announced…

An analysis of published studies indicates that Twitter may be a useful learning tool in dental education. The analysis, which is published in the Journal of Dental Education, included 7 studies. Studies indicated that the real-time question and answer sessions using Twitter work well in an educational setting. Also, the semi-anonymous interactions on Twitter can be beneficial for students unwilling to speak in front of their peers. Twitter can also make lectures more engaging, and it can be used to ask questions that assess student comprehension. The investigators noted that there are significant barriers to Twitter's use in dental education, however, including privacy and concerns about professionalism. "We live in a dynamic world where the use of social media such as Twitter has become part of our daily life. It is amazing that many dentists and dental students from all over the world use Twitter as a live platform in discussing clinical cases and sharing news, knowledge, and experiences," said senior author Omar Kujan, DDS, PhD, of The University of Western Australia. "Our study is the first to collate the current evidence regarding the use of Twitter in dental education. Our findings supported the potential for Twitter as a useful…

Geoff Wade’s Twitter feed was relentless.The researcher in Canberra’s federal parliamentary library has published more than 42,000 tweets full of links to news stories about China, especially the country’s ruling Communist Party, and photos of people at events Wade frequently claimed had links to CCP influence operations.The stoush has moved beyond the Australia-China Twitter community, bringing together concerns about CCP influence, free speech and Australia’s stifling defamation regime.Credit:BloombergDepending on who you ask, Wade’s feed is a trove of information for researchers, journalists and even MPs with concerns about China’s repression of democratic activists and minority ethnic groups at home, and increasingly assertive agenda abroad.But others see it as a scattershot list that, intentionally or not, casts suspicion on people for attending events such as Lunar New Year celebrations that may have only the vaguest, if any, links to the CCP.In February, Wade’s feed went quiet after his boss told him to take a pause following questions from journalist Marcus Reubenstein and a highly critical article on his little-known website, APAC News, about Wade’s social media use.LoadingThe article prompted James Paterson, the chairman of Parliament’s joint committee on intelligence and security, to warn foreign governments were targeting researchers critical of China.…

Social media platform Twitter has suspended the account of Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut for violating its rules on Tuesday. While the reason for the suspension is not known yet, she had made comments on Tuesday on the alleged violence in West Bengal after Mamata Banerjee-led All India Trinamool Congress won the assembly election earlier this week.

This is not the first time Twitter has suspended Ranaut's account. In January, Ranaut's account was put under ‘read-only’ mode by the US-based tech company for two tweets that allegedly incited violence. "We’ve been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behavior that has the potential to lead to offline harm. The referenced account has been permanently suspended for repeated violations of Twitter Rules specifically our Hateful Conduct policy and Abusive Behaviour policy," a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement.
