Kanota, Rajasthan, is a dusty obscure hamlet these days. But it once bridged India’s two ancient kingdoms: the Mughal court in Agra and the Royal court of Jaipur. On this road lies the Villa Palladio boutique hotel and resort. A colorful history Jaipur is known as “the pink city” for its pastel buildings. The Villa is half an hour away, but it feels like its own world. For one thing, it’s not pink. It’s also not decked out in the floral or geometric patterns Jaipur is known for. Instead, the structure has walls in a shade of scarlet borrowed from…

The research looked at how wellbeing changed in 72 countries as use of the social media platform grew.

Several countries, including the UK, are considering legislation to protect social media users from online harms. Meta, which owns Facebook, has faced scrutiny following testimony from whistle-blowers and press reports based on leaks that suggested the company’s own research pointed to negative impacts on some users. This research only looked…

The contestants were asked to take off their tops for “body checks” and photographs two days before the finals on 3 August, one of their lawyers said. The organisers allegedly told the women they had “to examine any scars, cellulite or tattoos on their bodies”. “I feel that my rights have been violated,” one of the contestants said. “It has affected me mentally. I have had trouble sleeping,” she said, speaking to the media, alongside other complainants, earlier this week. Local television blurred their faces in…

Shares of WeWork, the once globally hyped office space sharing company, have plunged after it raised “substantial doubt” about its future. The company’s shares fell by close to 24% in extended trading in New York. The firm added that its management needed to raise additional capital to keep it afloat over the next 12 months.
