Image
Rahul Gandhi had lambasted Twitter for interfering in India's political processes A week after temporarily suspending Indian National Congress (INC) leader Rahul Gandhi's Twitter handle, the social media major today went ahead and restored the account. Gandhi's Twitter account was temporarily suspended after the party leader had tweeted pictures of the family of a nine-year-old rape and murder victim from Northwest Delhi.

Twitter halts account verification process citing need for improvement

Image
Several fictitious accounts that seemed to be part of a botnet were wrongfully verified. NEW DELHI — Twitter, the popular microblogging and social networking site, has paused its account verification programme, citing a need to improve the application and approval process that allows users to join the blue check mark club. According to The Verge , its decision to stop allowing new individuals to request for verification comes after the site revealed that numerous bogus accounts that seemed to be part of a botnet were erroneously validated. If you applied for verification recently, there's a possibility you'll receive it — Twitter Verified has stated that it will continue to assess existing applications, thus the freeze is just stopping new applicants from applying. Twitter verification process is coming back soon To put it another way, if you were able to apply previously, Twitter's CEO says you can still do so. The platform hasn't said if it would adjust the standard...

Diabetic Blindness: New biomarkers may help detect early eye abnormalities

Image
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease in the United States, and it is a leading cause of blindness NEW DELHI — According to a recent study done at the Indiana University School of Optometry, new biomarkers identified in the eyes might unlock the secret to helping control diabetic retinopathy and possibly even diabetes. The findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal ' PLOS One .' Diabetes can damage the eyes early before the alterations are evident with a routine clinical examination. However, recent retinal research has established that these changes may be assessed earlier than previously assumed using sophisticated optical methods and computer analysis. The capacity to detect biomarkers for this potentially blinding illness might lead to the early detection of those at risk for diabetes or vision loss and enhance clinicians' ability to manage these patients. Diabetic retinal damage can be detected early Early detection of diabetic retinal...

Zomato struts its stock; Restraint should be the retail investor’s keyword

Image
Zomato shares: Is investing a healthy proposition for retail investors? It’s been a while since Zomato listed its shares on the bourses. The shares listed at a hefty premium indeed grabbed eyeballs and investor interest in huge numbers, making a mega debut for the company on the stock exchanges. It is now time to look at whether investing in Zomato stocks is a healthy proposition.  If one looks at it from a retail investor’s perspective, reservation tends to rear its head. Lending an ear to a section of the analysts clarifies that it would be advisable for short-term investors to book profit. In contrast, long-term investors need to hold on so that they stand a chance to accumulate on a depression. This also means that the stock wouldn’t be of any help in the short term other than keeping retail investors’ money on the ice. Though the stock had a blockbuster opening when it was listed, it is being foreseen by market experts that the stock is unlikely to bring in significant returns...
