About Twitter Profile Labels

Twitter uses visual identity signals like labels and badges on account profiles to help distinguish between various account types and to give more context about them. While some of these labels are generated by Twitter, others are the result of user activity. Here is a list of the labels and badges that are frequently seen on account profiles. Applied Profile labels by Twitter Checkmark in Blue The blue checkmark can indicate one of two things: either that a user's account has been verified according to Twitter's previous verification standards (active, notable, and authentic), or that the user has an active subscription to Twitter Blue, the company's new subscription service that launched on iOS on November 9, 2022. The active, notable, and authentic criteria that were applied in the previous process will not be reviewed for accounts that receive the blue checkmark as part of a Twitter Blue subscription. Here is more information about the blue checkmark. Gold Checkmark The...

Masrur Temple Himachal Pradesh

It is thought that in the eighth century, a monolithic rock was cut into the shape of the temples at Masrur. Many people think that the Pandavas spent some time here during their exile and even attempted to construct a stairway to heaven from this location. The temple still has an unfinished staircase.

Ladakh Phugtal Monastery

From a distance, the Phugtal Monastery resembles a huge honeycomb, and getting there can seem equally intimidating. It is one of the few monasteries in Ladakh that can only be reached on foot and takes a day or two to walk from Raru through Chatang and Purne. It is built around a natural cave in the Lungnak Valley in Zanskar. Route: 463 kilometres from Leh

Rabdentse, often known as India's Machu Picchu, was as the second capital of the former Sikkim monarchy from 1670 to 1814. Some of the royal residence's remnants are still visible, despite the fact that the Gurkha invasion in the 18th century completely devastated the city. The seven-foot-tall white marble slab at the top of the hill is still used for prayer by the locals. Directions: 122 kilometres from Gangtok.

Site names are being introduced on Google Search

In order to make it simpler to understand which website is linked to each result, Search has introduced site names on mobile search results today. We'll also show you how to use structured data to specify your preferred site name. In addition to English, French, Japanese, and German, site names will soon be made available for mobile Google Search results in new languages.   To determine the domain name of a search result, Google Search uses a number of different resources. You can utilise structured data on your homepage to tell Google what the site name should be by specifying your favourite option. Go to the Site name documentation for further details on how to do this. For the most recent best practises, we also advise going over the favicon documentation once more. As long as the icon is at least 48 pixels wide and complies with the current favicon rules, it will be displayed on Search. As always, please let us know in the Google Search Central Help Community if you have any qu...

Describe a recession. Wikipédia is undecided

The Biden administration's insistence that the U.S. economy has not entered an economic slump prompted a frenzy of alterations to Wikipedia's definition for "recession," but the entry has now been put on hold. This week, unauthorised additions were made to Wikipedia by new users. The updates sparked an editing war that compelled registered volunteer editors to constantly undo changes in order to adhere to the site's principles, which in this case called for correct reference and no political prejudice. Wikipedia's "edit warring" policy encourages disputing editors to settle their differences through discussion on a discussion page. The glut of new editors disregarded that best practise and continued to push questionable edits, forcing more seasoned editors to disable the freedom to edit. According to Wikipedia, the page is temporarily "semi-protected" until August 3 and no new or unregistered users are permitted to update it. Top officials...
