<p>&nbsp;A wall of flower petals bursts into a thousand fragments. A huge ball levitates in the air, turning from red to blue to purple. Hundreds of butterflies dart around a screen of tiny water particles.<br />
<br />
This is not a modern art museum, but the latest creation of Japan`s teamLab collective of engineers, artists and architects, anchored around a maze of seven saunas lit up in hues of red, green and yellow.<br />
<br />
The Tokyo-based digital art group took over an empty lot in the city`s glitzy Roppongi district and over the last year erected a gigantic tent housing the sauna rooms and three immersive art installations.<br />
<br />
"Art is traditionally exhibited in luxurious places like palaces or museums - we wanted to create a luxurious state of mind for people to experience it," said Takashi Kudo, a teamLab lab member at a demonstration on Saturday.<br />
<br />
"TikTok teamLab Reconnect" opens runs March 22 until the end of August. For $44 on weekdays and $53 on weekends, visitors can dip in and out of the hot rooms and cold showers, and walk inside the artworks sporting only swimming suits.<br />
<br />
The coronavirus means seating in the biggest saunas was cut from 24 to 12 and ventilation was adjusted to meet government standards for air circulation.<br />

Kudo stood under dozens of large, hand-blown glass lamps from Italy. The lamps slowly changed colours from burnt orange to magenta, illuminating dark corridors separating the rooms.<br />

The team said it wanted to affect all senses, including touch, sound and smell. Aromas such as roasted green tea waft through one of the saunas, and white birch in another.<br />

"Nobody goes to an art museum in this fashion because art is art and sauna is sauna," said Kudo, pointing to his swimming trunks. "What we wanted to try is to combine and offer a very different experience - and a very different experience of this art."<br />

<p>The world watched in rapt attention as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sat down for a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey on March 7. The bombshell interview revealed some startling facts about the couple's lives while they were still a part of the royal family.<br />
<br />
While much is being discussed about the interview- and rightfully so- it has also led to people's eagerness to own the furniture that was used in the interview.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
For the interview, Winfrey and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat in a friend’s garden on wicker and acacia outdoor chairs, which belong to the design collection of the former Brady Bunch star Christopher Knight.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The episode aired on Sunday and by Tuesday the chairs from the Christopher Knight Home Burchett collection, which cost approx $554 a pair, had sold out online across retail websites.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The interview had an impact on the popularity of the patio chairs and led to Knight, who played Peter Brady on the hit show, writing a status on Facebook expressing gratitude for the exposure his brand got.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“In Oprah’s sensational interview with Prince Harry and Meghan this week, who would have thought the furniture would have been noticed at all, but it was…and not even by me!” Knight wrote. “I am honoured to have the patio chairs from my collection become the seat of the most fascinating famous sit down in recent history.”<br />
<br />
In the two-hour-long interview, Harry and Meghan opened about mental health, racism and the reason why they decided to move to the US.&nbsp;</p>

"Freedom of speech is a hill I`m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I`m off to spend more time with my opinions," he told his 7.8 million Twitter followers.</p>

<p>Disneyland is aiming to reopen in late April at limited capacity after California eased Covid-19 restrictions, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said Tuesday.</p>

<p>The world's second-most visited theme park has been closed for almost exactly a year, with the mega attraction near Los Angeles unable to reopen last summer even while other Disney resorts did so worldwide.</p>

<p>"Here in California, we're encouraged by the positive trends we're seeing and we're hopeful they'll continue to improve and we'll be able to reopen our Parks to guests with limited capacity by late April," said Chapek.</p>

<p>A precise opening date would be confirmed "in the coming weeks," he added.</p>

<p>The statement during Disney's annual shareholders meeting follows state officials' announcement last week that reopening criteria for theme parks and outdoor stadiums will be relaxed from April 1, as a winter spike in coronavirus cases rapidly recedes.</p>

<p>Theme parks will only be allowed to reopen if their county drops below the state's most-restrictive coronavirus "tier," and then initially at 15 percent capacity and for California residents only.</p>

<p>Chapek cautioned that Disneyland could not reopen on the first day of next month as it would take time to recall more than 10,000 furloughed staff members, and to retrain them in pandemic safety measures.</p>

<p>Disney, along with other operators and local officials, has ramped up pressure on state officials to allow swifter reopenings, after previous guidance meant theme parks would be among the last places to reopen in California.</p>

<p>The company had to scrap a planned July restart for Disneyland last year following a public row with state officials over safety guidelines, and partly blamed California restrictions for 28,000 job losses in September.</p>

<p>Chapek said the reopening would be welcomed by Disney staff and was "also good news for the Anaheim community, which depends on Disneyland for jobs and business generated by visitors."</p>

<p>During the shareholders meeting, Chapek also announced that streaming service Disney+ had passed 100 million subscribers, just 16 months after its much-hyped launch.</p>

<p>The platform's growth has trounced expectations, and has come at a time when Disney's parks, travel and film businesses are hobbled by the pandemic.</p>

<p>"Our direct-to-consumer business is the Company's top priority, and our robust pipeline of content will continue to fuel its growth," said Chapek.</p>

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to embrace parenthood once again and are gearing up to welcome a new family member. After revealing their second child's gender in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the couple's photographer shared a new picture of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with their son on Monday. Photographer Misan Harriman shared an adorable family photo from the couple's maternity shoot on Monday, hours after their sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey aired, which saw them share the news that their second child on the way is a girl. The black-and-white shot features Meghan holding big brother-to-be Archie above her baby bump. As Archie snuggles into his mother's shoulder, a barefoot Prince Harry stands behind his wife with his arms around her.

Meghan, Harry share new family photo hours after Oprah interview

<p>It might have a reputation as the birthplace of sexy lingerie, but even in France titillation is taking second place to comfort and practicality.<br />
<br />
The very word "lingerie" is a French export -- used from Japan to Holland to Brazil -- but France has been slow to adapt to a changing mood in the global industry which no longer treats expensive underwear primarily as a weapon of seduction.<br />
<br />
The shift has been noticeable in recent years in other Western countries, measured most notably in declining sales at Victoria's Secret, the US store that brought sexy lingerie to the mass market in the 1970s and then made billions worldwide by promoting images of impossible physical perfection.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Judging by its typical billboards and shop windows, France held out longer than others, but could not ignore the change forever.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"The priority is no longer seduction, it's no longer about attracting men's attention," said Pascale Renaud, who directed a short film to launch this year's French expo, Promincor-Lingerie.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
No photo-shopped sexualised models in her film -- instead it is women of all sizes and ages, exercising, dancing, meditating, riding motorbikes... essentially, being real people.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Women are playing things differently these days... We see it in all the publicity," said Renaud.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Things that were seen as faults in the past -- a few extra kilos, lines, scars -- today, these are signs of individuality."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The products featured at the expo were themselves signs of the changing mood.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Empreinte's plus-size bras were pitched as something "to be forgotten once they are on", while another model in black lace was trailed as "sports chic", with the focus very much on assisting posture and distributing weight.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Another with straps that can be crossed at the back was specially designed to cushion movements associated with boxing and horse riding.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Women complain that they can only find bras that either squash or bother them, or don't offer support. It has taken several years to get here," said its director Noemie Berthaux.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>- 'Inclusivity' -</strong><br />
<br />
As with so much else, the pandemic has accelerated the trend.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
With many turning to yoga during the past year's lockdowns, the bra-and-leggings combo has become particularly popular.<br />
<br />
Ethical concerns as well as practical ones are driving the change.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"After #MeToo, pictures of objectified women with large breasts and idealised bums are no longer acceptable," said Brigitte Chauchon, commercial director for Lejaby.<br />
<br />
"There's a strong demand now for inclusivity. We are moving away from this model of women with perfect measurements."<br />
<br />
That means au revoir to push-up bras in favour of practical shapes, ecologically-sourced materials and maximum comfort.<br />
<br />
Glamour still exists, but its meaning is being redefined.<br />
<br />
Flesh-coloured tones, once seen as dowdy and unflattering, are "now much more fashionable," said Stephanie Perele, a director at her family's brand, Simone Perele.<br />
<br />
"We're now having fun working with transparent designs, adding little details."<br />
<br />
"Underwear can be invisible, like a second skin, but still very sophisticated," added Chauchon.<br />
<br />
"It's about women who are pleasing themselves, comfortable in who they are, who have their own lives that are free from traditional demands."</p>

Even in France, lingerie shifts from sexy to comfortable

<p>California health officials set new ground rules on Friday that would allow Walt Disney Co`s Disneyland and other theme parks to reopen on a restricted basis as early as April 1, after a closure of nearly a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.<br />
<br />
Theme parks and amusement parks would be permitted to resume operations at a severely limited capacity next month as long as the counties where they are located move out of the most restrictive "purple" tier of California`s colour-coded system of public health constraints by then.<br />
<br />
Anaheim-based Disneyland lies in the heart of Orange County, which like neighbouring Los Angeles and San Diego counties, has remained purple for months, where the prevalence of COVID-19 cases and infection rates are deemed to be dangerously high.<br />
<br />
But Governor Gavin Newsom, under mounting pressure to lift social and economic restrictions as the spread of COVID-19 slows, announced on Thursday a "modest loosening" of tier definitions by factoring in increased vaccinations in vulnerable communities.<br />
This would allow counties designated purple, for example, to progress more quickly to the less-stringent red tier, which under previous ground rules still required theme and amusement parks to stay shuttered.<br />
<br />
Friday`s announcement means those venues could reopen at 15% capacity if they go from purple to red by April 1. The next tier up on the color ladder, orange, would allow theme park reopenings at 25% capacity, and the least restrictive tier, yellow, would permit operations at 35%.<br />
<br />
Masks and other safety measures would be required, and the parks initially would be open only to state residents.<br />
Outdoor stadiums, ballparks and live performance arenas would also be allowed to reopen at reduced capacity, starting April 1, under a similar regimen.<br />
<br />
However, traditional opening day turnout for Major League Baseball could be an extremely muted affair in Southern California, with no more than 100 spectators allowed for venues located in purple counties.<br />
<br />
That would currently include the home stadiums of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Diego Padres and the Anaheim Angels. San Francisco and Oakland, home of the Giants and the Athletics, respectively, are currently designated red, which would limit seating to 20% capacity.<br />

California health officials set new ground rules on Friday that would allow Walt Disney Co`s Disneyland and other theme parks to reopen on a restricted basis as early as April 1, after a closure of nearly a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

California health officials set new ground rules on Friday that would allow Walt Disney Co`s Disneyland and other theme parks to reopen on a restricted basis as early as April 1, after a closure of nearly a year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Theme parks and amusement parks would be permitted to resume operations at a severely limited capacity next month as long as the counties where they are located move out of the most restrictive "purple" tier of California`s colour-coded system of public health constraints by then. Anaheim-based Disneyland lies in the heart of Orange County, which like neighbouring Los Angeles and San Diego counties, has remained purple for months, where the prevalence of COVID-19 cases and infection rates are deemed to be dangerously high. But Governor Gavin Newsom, under mounting pressure to lift social and economic restrictions as the spread of COVID-19 slows, announced on Thursday a "modest loosening" of tier definitions by factoring in increased vaccinations in vulnerable communities. This would allow counties designated purple, for example, to progress more quickly to the less-stringent red tier, which under previous ground rules still required theme and amusement parks to stay shuttered. Friday`s announcement means those venues could reopen at 15% capacity if they go from purple to red by April 1. The next tier up on the color ladder, orange, would allow theme park reopenings at 25% capacity, and the least restrictive tier, yellow, would permit operations at 35%. Masks and other safety measures would be required, and the parks initially would be open only to state residents. Outdoor stadiums, ballparks and live performance arenas would also be allowed to reopen at reduced capacity, starting April 1, under a similar regimen. However, traditional opening day turnout for Major League Baseball could be an extremely muted affair in Southern California, with no more than 100 spectators allowed for venues located in purple counties. That would currently include the home stadiums of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Diego Padres and the Anaheim Angels. San Francisco and Oakland, home of the Giants and the Athletics, respectively, are currently designated red, which would limit seating to 20% capacity. Ken Patrick, president of the Disneyland Resort, said in a statement that the decision meant "getting thousands of people back to work and greatly helping neighbouring businesses and our entire community." But it remained unclear whether rising vaccinations and falling COVID infection rates would go far enough for Anaheim to go from purple to red by the first of next month.

<p>Buckingham Palace on Wednesday ordered a probe on the bullying allegations that have been levied on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.&nbsp;<br />
<br />

<br />
On Wednesday, the palace announced they will launch a probe into the allegations, which were reported by The Times in the UK on Tuesday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"We are clearly very concerned about allegations in The Times following claims made by former staff of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex," the palace said in a statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Accordingly, our HR team will look into the circumstances outlined in the article. Members of staff involved at the time, including those who have left the Household, will be invited to participate to see if lessons can be learned."</p>

<p>"The Royal Household has had a Dignity at Work policy in place for a number of years and does not and will not tolerate bullying or harassment in the workplace," the statement further said.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Reports state that the Palace in looking at examining all the allegations and is likely to speak to everyone who is involved in the case. <strong>Harry and Meghan</strong> will not be a part of the initial inquiry.</p>

<br />
According to the report in The Times, the complaint was made in October 2018 by the couple's former communications secretary Jason Knauf who claimed that Meghan compelled two personal assistants to quit their jobs and undermined the confidence of a third staff member.<br />
<br />
Knauf reportedly submitted the complaint in an effort to protect other palace staffers who were allegedly bullied by the Duchess of Sussex and even reduced to tears at times. One royal aide, who anticipated a confrontation with Meghan, is alleged to have told a colleague, "I can't stop shaking."<br />
A source told The Times that when Harry first heard of Knauff's complaint, he pleaded with him not to pursue the HR complaint.</p>

<p>Lawyers of Meghan and Harry have denied being part of any such meeting and also denied that the Duke of Sussex would have interfered with any staff matter.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
In a statement issued to People, Meghan's representative denied the allegations and stated, "The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma. She is determined to continue her work building compassion around the world and will keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and doing what is good."<br />
<br />
Sources close to the Sussexes are calling the case a 'smear campaign' against the couple. "Let's just call this what it is — a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation. We are disappointed to see this defamatory portrayal of The Duchess of Sussex given credibility by a media outlet. It's no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining The Duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and The Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years."<br />
<br />
The allegations come 5 days before Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah is set to premiere. The interview is reportedly going to be a candid one with Meghan speaking about her journey as a royal family member and subsequent Megxit.&nbsp;</p>

Buckingham Palace launches probe after former staffer accuses Meghan Markle of bullying 

<p>Six children`s books written decades ago by Dr&nbsp;Seuss were pulled from publication because they contain racist and insensitive imagery, the company formed to preserve the American author`s legacy said on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
The books - "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," "If I Ran the Zoo," "McElligot`s Pool," "On Beyond Zebra!" "Scrambled Eggs Super!" and "The Cat`s Quizzer" - are among more than 60 classics written by Dr Seuss, the pen name of the writer and illustrator Theodor Geisel, who died in 1991.<br />
<br />
"These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong," Dr Seuss Enterprises said in a statement explaining why it was stopping their publication.<br />
<br />
The books, originally published between 1937 and 1976, contain numerous caricatures of Asian and Black people that incorporate stereotypes that have been criticised as racist.<br />
<br />
The most famous Dr Seuss titles - "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham" - were not on the list of books that will be yanked from publication. "Oh, the Places You`ll Go!" often tops the New York Times bestseller list during graduation season, and also was not on the list of scrapped books.<br />
<br />
The controversy over Dr Seuss imagery has simmered for years. In 2017, then-first lady Melania Trump offered a donation of 10 Dr. Seuss books to a Cambridge, Massachusetts, school. Its librarian turned down the gift, saying images criticised as "racist propaganda and harmful stereotypes" filled their pages.<br />
<br />
"Open one of his books ("If I Ran a Zoo" or "And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street," for example), and you`ll see the racist mockery in his art," librarian Liz Phipps Soerio told Melania Trump in a letter.<br />
<br />
Dr Seuss Enterprises said it worked with a panel of experts, including educators, to review its catalogue and made the decision last year to end publication and licensing. Among the publishers are Random House and Vanguard Press.<br />
<br />
The company said the move was the first step in its efforts to promote inclusion for all children.<br />
<br />
"Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr Seuss Enterprises` catalogue represents and supports all communities and families," the company said.<br />
<br />
Not everyone was pleased to hear in the news. In New York City, Greg Zire, 46, said the decision was another example of "cancel culture."<br />
<br />
"It`s getting to the point where, you know, you get deleted from history," the culinary sales worker said. "What people need to realise is, if Dr Seuss can get cancelled, what can`t be?"<br />
<br />
On eBay, some of the discontinued titles surged in value on Tuesday. A copy of "If I Ran the Zoo," with a starting price of $48 in the morning, was commanding a bid of $410 within an hour.<br />
<br />
Philip Nel, a children`s literature scholar at Kansas State University, likened the decision to stop publication to the recall of an outdated, dangerous product.<br />
<br />
"In the 1950s, cars did not have seat belts. Now, we recognise that as dangerous - so, cars have seat belts. In the 1950s, lots of books recycled racist caricature. Now, Random House is recognizing this as dangerous," Nel said.<br />
<br />
Nel said the author, who also wrote "The Sneetches," a parable about discrimination and racial intolerance, wasn’t conscious of how racism influenced his visual imagination.<br />
<br />
"At the same time he`s writing books that attempt to oppose discrimination ... he`s also recycling stereotypes in other books."<br />
<br />
Dr Seuss Enterprises made the announcement on March 2, the anniversary of Geisel`s birth in 1904. In 1998, the National Education Association designated his birthday as Read Across America Day, an annual event aimed at encouraging children and teens to read.</p>

<p>A painting by Sir Winston Churchill dating back to World War II era and owned by Angelina Jolie has been auctioned for £8.285m (USD 11 m approx).<br />
<br />
The painting was auctioned at a price four times more than its estimated cost and beat the previous record price for a Churchill which sold under £1.8m (USD 2m approx).&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Jolie had been the owner of the painting for a while now before she decided to put it on auction.<br />

<p>Six months after the deadly&nbsp;chemical explosion that brought Beirut to its knees, designer Nada Ghazal,&nbsp;a jewellery designer, and survivor of the blast is channelling her memory in form of art.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
According to Ghazal, she has designed a ring representing the resilience and strength of a city that will not be brought down, inspired by the cloud of dust that rose from the blast.</p>

<p>In her interview with Forbes, she opened up behind the idea of bringing it all together. “The challenges we go through, versus the big smiles we always have, there’s something unexplainable there. There’s some kind of magic in this country," said Nada Ghazal, of her fellow Lebanese.<br />
<br />
The chemical explosion in Beirut last August,&nbsp;destroyed a large part of the city center, leaving 207 people dead, and over 300,000 homeless. It caused an estimated $15 billion in damage to property across the city, destroyed Ghazal's workshop, existing store, and the flagship into which she was about to move, and caused significant damage to her home.</p>

<p>The 'Blast ring' is&nbsp;an 18kt yellow gold ring that rises off the hand to a gentle peak, set with champagne diamonds reminiscent of the dust clouds she saw after the explosion, according to Ghazal's description to Forbes.&nbsp;Underneath, the ring dips down below the finger, symbolizing the challenges that threaten to drag us down, while the top reaches tall up towards the sky, diamonds glinting in the sun. The ring features her trademark volume paired with the soft gleam of a matte gold finish, a strikingly elegant statement piece with meaning.</p>

<p>“We, as Lebanese, have had so many challenges," she said in her interview. "But we are not only out-of-the-box thinkers, we have removed the box altogether when it comes to creative ways to survive and also thrive.” And as Beirut emerges from the ashes once again, Ghazal has created a timely reminder that with resilience, creativity, and strength, we can all rise up.</p>

<p>"I created Fuse Rock a few months back while Lebanon was, as it still is, going through one of its toughest times. I wanted to feel strong, to be defiant, to stand up despite it all. I needed to garner my strength and visualize it in this sketch which then became our Fuse Rock Ring," she explained the design&nbsp;in a Facebook post.<br />

<p>It's interesting to note that Ghazal isn't the only Lebanese artist inspired by the aftermath of the blast. Many artists who lost their livelihoods and businesses&nbsp;to the blast are coming out with interesting ways to channel the pain.<br />

According to Marie Claire report, many jewellery designers are recreating the lost beauty of the city in their pieces, while tapestry artists are channelling the process of recovery and the devastation caused by the blast, in artful showcases.&nbsp;</p>


Six months after the deadly chemical explosion that brought Beirut to its knees, designer Nada Ghazal, a jewellery designer, and survivor of the blast is channelling her memory in form of art.

Six months after the deadly chemical explosion that brought Beirut to its knees, designer Nada Ghazal, a jewellery designer, and survivor of the blast is channelling her memory in form of art. According to Ghazal, she has designed a ring representing the resilience and strength of a city that will not be brought down, inspired by the cloud of dust that rose from the blast. In her interview with Forbes, she opened up behind the idea of bringing it all together. “The challenges we go through, versus the big smiles we always have, there’s something unexplainable there. There’s some kind of magic in this country," said Nada Ghazal, of her fellow Lebanese. The chemical explosion in Beirut last August, destroyed a large part of the city center, leaving 207 people dead, and over 300,000 homeless. It caused an estimated $15 billion in damage to property across the city, destroyed Ghazal's workshop, existing store, and the flagship into which she was about to move, and caused significant damage to her home. The 'Blast ring' is an 18kt yellow gold ring that rises off the hand to a gentle peak, set with champagne diamonds reminiscent of the dust clouds she saw after the explosion, according to Ghazal's description to Forbes. Underneath, the ring dips down below the finger, symbolizing the challenges that threaten to drag us down, while the top reaches tall up towards the sky, diamonds glinting in the sun. The ring features her trademark volume paired with the soft gleam of a matte gold finish, a strikingly elegant statement piece with meaning. “We, as Lebanese, have had so many challenges," she said in her interview. "But we are not only out-of-the-box thinkers, we have removed the box altogether when it comes to creative ways to survive and also thrive.” And as Beirut emerges from the ashes once again, Ghazal has created a timely reminder that with resilience, creativity, and strength, we can all rise up. "I created Fuse Rock a few months back while Lebanon was, as it still is, going through one of its toughest times. I wanted to feel strong, to be defiant, to stand up despite it all. I needed to garner my strength and visualize it in this sketch which then became our Fuse Rock Ring," she explained the design in a Facebook post.

<p>&nbsp;What makes Indians meditate? According to a recent survey by meditation and mindfulness app ThinkRight.me, it is the pursuit of happiness, peace, and personal growth that keeps most Indians going in the meditatation sphere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Spanning 1,000 individuals between the age group of 18 to 60 years, across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Pune, the survey also cites stress management and better sleep as other key areas where meditation has helped individuals. From an app data perspective, almost 40 per cent of the users of ThinkRight.me meditated daily in 2020, spending a total of 2.64 billion minutes on the app in the entire year.<br />
<br />
The survey also revealed how meditation helps different age groups differently. Peace and happiness top the charts across all age groups -- and goes up as one grows older, as one in two people aged between 36-45 years meditate for peace and happiness compared to 1 in 5 among the 18-25 age group.<br />
<br />
The age bracket of 18-25 years and 46-55 years showed similar patterns; the quest for peace and happiness was followed by better sleep, personal growth, and stress management, in that order.<br />
<br />
When it comes to city-specific analysis, most women in Mumbai meditate to seek peace and personal growth, while Punekars and people in Bengaluru are in search of peace and happiness.<br />
<br />
Delhiites turn to meditation for better sleep and stress management.<br />
<br />
As per Rajan Navani, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of JetSynthesys, the company which owns the app,"India often tops the charts when it comes to studies on stress and anxiety. We launched ThinkRight.me two years back to make the benefits of meditation accessible to all. We are big believers of the power of thinking right, therefore the name, because our thoughts do guide how our day and life pan out. All the daily affirmations and guided meditation sessions on ThinkRight.me are born out of this core belief, and we hope to use these survey findings to make TRM an even more compelling proposition. With time, we also hope more people take to meditation and a more mindful way of life so collectively there`s a positive change in people`s overall mental and emotional well-being."<br />

The onset of 2020 brought with it Covid-19, a global pandemic which has been harsh on most individuals and the app data is proof of that reality.<br />

According to this platform with over 2 million downloads, the maximum traffic seen on the app was during the months of April 2020 to June 2020, during the Covid-19 induced lockdown, with daily active users increasing by 50 per cent coupled with a significant increase in subscriptions too.

<p>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a few changes to their&nbsp;Archewell Foundation website.</p>

<p>According to&nbsp;Us Weekly, the royal couple appears to have edited the website and removed personal photos&nbsp;of the royal prince. The series of photos missing from the site includes that of Prince Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, as well as an image of Meghan with her mom Doria.<br />
<br />
The site previously paired these images with the message,“I am my mother’s son. And I am our son’s mother. Together we bring you Archewell. We believe in the best of humanity. Because we have seen the best of humanity. We have experienced compassion and kindness, from our mothers and strangers alike.”</p>

<p>Archewell’s homepage now shows Meghan and Harry doing charity work, along with the slightly less personal message,“Welcome to Archewell. Through our non-profit work, as well as creative activations, we drive systemic cultural change across all communities, one act of compassion at a time.”<br />
<br />
This change comes&nbsp;post&nbsp;the Sussexes&nbsp;officially stepped away from senior royal duties and were relieved&nbsp;of their patronages.<br />
<br />
The couple will be seen next in a&nbsp;tell-all interview with Oprah where absolutely nothing is off the table. Meghan is expected to cover“everything from stepping into life as a royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is handling life under intense public pressure,” while Harry will then join her to talk about“their move to the United States and their future hopes and dreams for their expanding family.”<br />
<br />

The CBS broadcast network released two brief clips from Winfrey`s interview with the couple, which is scheduled to air on March 7. It is the first TV interview the couple, formally known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have given since making their homes in California last year.<br />
<br />
"My biggest concern was history repeating itself," Harry said, apparently referring to his mother Princess Diana, who was hounded by the British press and died at age 36 in a car crash in Paris after her divorce from Prince Charles.<br />

<p>A pain in the neck happens to be the fourth leading cause of disability globally, lagging behind ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and lower respiratory infection. Neck pain can interfere with daily life, including the ability to feel productive, sleep, and enjoy time with family. It is a common occurrence among the working population usually engaged in tech jobs or desk jobs.<br />
<br />
<br />
Srikanth H.S, Sr. Naturopath, Jindal Naturecure Institute, points out that there are several factors that can result in neck pain like stress, poor posture, obesity, muscle inflammation, arthritis, and injuries.<br />
<br />
"The best way to deal with neck pain is to minimise it in the first place. Naturopathy offers safe and effective alternatives to deal with neck pain without falling prey to the side-effects of pharmaceutical drugs. Blending in the goodness of natural therapies like yoga, massage, herbs, and acupuncture, along with lifestyle modifications, naturopathy can bring huge relief from neck pain," he says.<br />
<br />
Risks of Neck Pain<br />
<br />
The expert says:"The common causes of neck pain are muscle strain and nerve compression. However, the symptoms alone cannot indicate which one of these is occurring. Muscle strain usually results from poor posture, repeated lifting, sleep, stress, or anxiety. Nerve compression can occur when a disc in the spine slips out of its position and pinches or presses the nerves, or when the tissues in the neck get inflamed or swollen causing the nerves in the area to get squeezed. Whatever the cause, ongoing chronic neck pain shouldn`t be neglected as it can lead to a lifetime of disability or even permanent damage."<br />
<br />
He suggests naturopathy ways to treat neck pain:<br />
<br />
Yoga<br />
<br />
The ancient art of yoga has been demonstrated to help people with chronic pain including neck pain. Studies have shown that yoga asanas help to reduce pain perception, improves mobility, and decrease inflammation. Even 15 to 20 minutes of yoga exercises a day can relax the body, stretch the muscles, increase blood circulation, and minimise the chances of neck pain. Some of the common yoga asanas which can be practiced for neck pain are Marjariasana (Cat Pose), Bitilasana (Cow Pose), Balasana (Child`s Pose), Natarajasana (Reclining Twist Pose), Viparita Karani (Legs up the wall Pose), and Savasana (Corpse Pose).<br />
<br />
Massage<br />
<br />
Several studies have pointed out that massage therapy can offer relief from neck pain and improve range of motion when performed by qualified professionals. Massage therapy usually involves the use of the hands to manipulate soft tissues, like the tendons and muscles, increase blood circulation, and reduce muscle tension. It helps to ease up the sore, numb and stiff muscles in the spinal area and neck region.<br />
<br />
Herbs<br />
<br />
Herbal treatments have been used for ages to treat pains of different sorts. Herbal remedies can be sipped like tea, infused in the bathwater, used as an oil, or inhaled as aromatherapy. Devil`s Claw is a popular herb that can substantially reduce neck pain and even improve physical functioning in osteoarthritis patients. Other than that, Lavender, Kudzu, and St. John`s Wort are some of the most popular herbs that help relieve neck pain and lower back pain. For maximum effects, these herbs should be taken under the guidance of expert professionals.<br />
<br />
Acupuncture<br />
<br />
Acupuncture is a thousand of years old technique that involves pricks in the skin with needles at specific points on the body. The frequency and duration of acupuncture sessions may depend on how long the neck pain has already lasted, and also severity of the symptoms. Some studies have revealed that acupuncture can stimulate biochemical changes both locally (where the needles are placed) and in the central nervous system. These biochemical changes may help to bring pain relief and other beneficial effects in some cases.<br />
<br />
Lifestyle Modifications<br />
<br />
Lifestyle modifications play a significant role in the management of neck aches and stiffness. Practicing good posture while at work or home should be a key priority for those suffering from neck pain. Getting good sleep and maintaining the spine in a comfortable position throughout the night, regular neck exercises, and taking breaks in between work and stretching are some of the ways to reduce strain on the neck and keep it relaxed.<br />

The risks of a neck-pain and how to manage it

<p>Exercising regularly has many health benefits, but did you know aerobic exercise could also benefit older adults living with Alzheimer`s dementia?According to a new research, aerobic exercise may help in slowing memory loss for older adults living with Alzheimer`s dementia.<br />
<br />
The findings of the study were described in a recently published article, `Cognitive Effects of Aerobic Exercise in Alzheimer`s Disease: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial`, in the Journal of Alzheimer`s Disease. ASU Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation Professor Fang Yu led a pilot randomised control trial that included 96 older adults living with mild to moderate Alzheimer`s dementia.<br />
<br />
Participants were randomised to either cycling (stationary bike) or stretching intervention for six months. Using the Alzheimer`s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognition (ADAS-Cog) to assess cognition, the results of the trial were substantial.<br />
<br />
The six-month change in ADAS-Cog was 1.0+-4.6 (cycling) and 0.1+-4.1 (stretching), which were both significantly less than the expected 3.2+-6.3-point increase observed naturally with disease progression."Our primary finding indicates that a six-month aerobic exercise intervention significantly reduced cognitive decline in comparison to the natural course of changes for Alzheimer`s dementia," Yu said.<br />
<br />
Yu added, "However, we didn`t find a superior effect of aerobic exercise to stretching, which is likely due to the pilot nature of our trial. We don`t have the statistical power to detect between-group differences, there was substantial social interaction effect in the stretching group, and many stretching participants did aerobic exercise on their own."<br />
<br />
Yu noted that their results are encouraging and support the clinical relevance of promoting aerobic exercise in individuals with Alzheimer`s dementia to maintain cognition."<br />
<br />
Aerobic exercise has a low profile of adverse events in older adults with Alzheimer`s dementia as demonstrated by our trial," said Yu. Yu concluded, "Regardless of its effect on cognition, the current collective evidence on its benefits supports the use of aerobic exercise as an additional therapy for Alzheimer`s disease."

<p>The coronavirus virus lockdown took a toll on our mental as well as physical well-being. The quarantine period was a tough one for people. There is a steep rise in the number of people who have gained oodles of weight during the pandemic, owing to many challenges and disruption in their regular routine.<br />
<br />
Long work from home hours contributed to a sedentary lifestyle where people were required to sit for hours without any movement. Furthermore, less sleep, stress, unhealthy diet and overeating also contributed to weight gain. The fact that gyms were closed didn`t help either. The quarantine period also led to change in mental states that contributed to emotional eating and people struggled to stick to their fitness routine.<br />
<br />
There are various reasons behind why people must have piled up those excess kilos during the coronavirus lockdown, say experts. They attribute a sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity and movement, faulty eating habits, and stress to be the culprits behind weight gain.<br />
<br />
"Weight gain happens when your daily calorie intake surpasses your expenditure. The amount of calories consumed during Lockdown on a daily basis was very high. People were not used to consuming food together on a daily basis for such a long period of time. Right from morning teas to evening snacks, breakfast, lunches, dinners and late night snacks or desserts all were made and consumed," explains Dr Kiran Rukadikar, Founder, DietQueen.<br />
<br />
She adds:"Eating is a mood elevator and stress reliever. More you eat, the happier you become. But this is adding more issues to your health. Now that we are getting control over the pandemic, it`s our own duty to take care of ourselves. As the whole world is getting back to normal, so should you."<br />
<br />
These weight loss strategies will help you get back on track. Suggested by Sukhvinder Singh Saggu, Bariatric surgeon, Apollo Spectra Delhi, here are some vital tips to battle the bulge, stay fit, and lead a healthy life:<br />
<br />
Try to de-stress<br />
<br />
It is a known fact that stress can give a tough time to your body. Likewise, many studies also suggest that stress can invite weight gain. If the reason behind your weight gain is stress then you need to calm down. It will be imperative for you to improve your resilience. Try to motivate and support yourself when a challenging situation arises. You can de-stress can opting for yoga and meditation. You can also try some breathing exercises that will help you calm down. You can do what you like. Just listen to the music to unwind, dance, cook or do gardening. Follow a proper routine.<br />
<br />
Journaling can be a good idea<br />
<br />
You will have to write down whatever you eat, how much oil you use, or what you have during your snacks. Yes, it is understood that you`re eating habits must have gone for a toss so it is essential for you to avoid binging or emotional eating. Plan what you will have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you get any mid-night cravings then try to indulge in healthy options like yogurt, crackers, makhana, and try to drink a lot of water. Try to limit junk, spicy, oily, and processed foods. Set proper meal timings. Do not eat your dinner late and then sleep immediately. Portion control is equally important. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables to stay hale and hearty.<br />
<br />
Walk around at home<br />
<br />
If you are working from home and are required to talk on the phone then just try to walk around your house while doing so. Common, after all, it will be good for you, right? Try to set a target every day and see to it that you complete it. Set smaller goals. It is the need of the hour to exercise at home. You can also do other activities such as aerobics, weight training, or Zumba at home.<br />
<br />
Eat in moderation, reduce high calorie fried foods and sweets. Your kitchen is the beat weight loss centre, and Balanced Home Diet is the best diet.<br />

<p>For Bollywood, beautiful women have fair skin, according to an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based computer analysis which reveals that conception of beauty has remained consistent through the years in the film industry centred in Mumbai.<br />
<br />
The automated computer analysis was led by Indian-origin researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in the US.<br />
<br />
The research revealed that babies whose births were depicted in Bollywood films from the 1950s and 60s were more often than not boys; in today`s films, boy and girl newborns are about evenly split.<br />
<br />
In the 50s and 60s, dowries were socially acceptable; today, not so much.<br />
<br />
The researchers, led by Kunal Khadilkar and Ashiqur KhudaBukhsh of CMU`s Language Technologies Institute (LTI), gathered 100 Bollywood movies from each of the past seven decades along with 100 of the top-grossing Hollywood moves from the same periods.<br />
<br />
They then used statistical language models to analyse subtitles of those 1,400 films for gender and social biases, looking for such factors as what words are closely associated with each other.<br />
<br />
"Most cultural studies of movies might consider five or 10 movies," said Khadilkar, a master`s student in LTI.<br />
<br />
"Our method can look at 2,000 movies in a matter of days."<br />
<br />
For instance, the researchers assessed beauty conventions in movies by using a so-called cloze test.<br />
<br />
Essentially, it`s a fill-in-the-blank exercise: "A beautiful woman should have BLANK skin."<br />
<br />
A language model normally would predict "soft" as the answer, the researchers noted.<br />
<br />
But when the model was trained with the Bollywood subtitles, the consistent prediction became "fair".<br />
<br />
The same thing happened when Hollywood subtitles were used, though the bias was less pronounced, said the study.<br />
<br />
To assess the prevalence of male characters, the researchers used a metric called Male Pronoun Ratio (MPR), which compares the occurrence of male pronouns such as "he" and "him" with the total occurrences of male and female pronouns.<br />
<br />
From 1950 through today, the MPR for Bollywood and Hollywood movies ranged from roughly 60 to 65 MPR.<br />
<br />
Looking at words associated with dowry over the years, the researchers found such words as "loan," "debt" and "jewelry" in Bollywood films of the 50s, which suggested compliance.<br />
<br />
By the 1970s, other words, such as "consent" and "responsibility," began to appear. Finally, in the 2000s, the words most closely associated with dowry -- including "trouble," "divorce" and "refused" -- indicate noncompliance or its consequences.<br />
<br />
"All of these things we kind of knew," said KhudaBukhsh, an LTI project scientist, "but now we have numbers to quantify them. And we can also see the progress over the last 70 years as these biases have been reduced."<br />
<br />
The findings were presented at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence virtual conference earlier this month.<br />

Bollywood still links women's beauty to fair skin: AI

<p>Canaries, parakeets and zebra finches will no longer chirp from small cages in the shadow of Notre Dame cathedral, after Paris voted to close its 19th-century bird market, deeming it inappropriate for this day and age.<br />
<br />
Held on Sundays, the market on the Ile de la Cite island in the Seine river has been a magnet for tourists and Parisians with children for decades, but an animal rights group`s campaign against it and plans to renovate the site led to a city council decision to close it.<br />
<br />
"The market had become the epicenter of bird trafficking in the Paris region, including of endangered birds," Paris deputy mayor Christophe Najdovksi told Reuters.<br />
<br />
"A second reason for closing it is that the conditions in which the birds are presented are no longer acceptable," he said.<br />
<br />
Dating from 1808, the bird market is expected to close when the city completes renovation of the flower market hall, with historical cast-iron awnings, on the same spot in 2023-25.<br />
<br />
Until then, bird lovers can still buy a parakeet for 10 euros ($12) or canaries and other songbirds for 25 euros.<br />
<br />
The city said 13 people have a licence to sell birds at the market but only seven use it and most of them also sell other things like pet supplies.<br />
<br />
"In coming months, we will help the bird sellers transition towards a new business model," Najdowski said.<br />
<br />
Albert Badalamenti, who has been selling birds on the market for 38 years, acknowledged that some sellers were not respecting the rules but said it was up to police to enforce those.<br />
<br />
"They said they would recycle us, find us another job. What I fear is bankruptcy. What are we going to do with all this stock?" he said, pointing at outdoor aviaries holding hundreds of birds at his breeding station north of Paris.<br />
<br />
Animal rights activist Amandine Sanvisens of Paris Animaux Zoopolis said the bird market closure is long over due.<br />
<br />
"Animals are not merchandise. They should not be sold like shoes or handbags."<br />

<p>Adolescents and teens may be more likely to be bullied by their friends or friends-of-friends than peers who are not closely linked, a new study suggests.<br />
<br />
The study, published in the American Journal of Sociology, found that peer aggression occurred at higher rates between friends, and friends-of-friends, than between those not closely tied.<br />
<br />
"People often assume that bullying occurs between relative strangers, or that it targets those on the fringes of the social network," said researcher Diane Felmlee from the Pennsylvania State University in the US.<br />
<br />
"Those do occur, but in our study, we find that the rate of peer aggression is significantly higher between those students who are closely linked," Felmlee added.<br />
<br />
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 20 per cent of students aged 12 to 18 report being bullied at school during the school year. And while many anti-bullying programmes exist, the researchers said they are not always effective.<br />
<br />
For the study, the team used data from more than 3,000 students that was collected in waves, starting when the students were in grades six, seven and eight and finishing when they were in grades eight, nine and 10, respectively.<br />
<br />
The researchers constructed "aggression networks" by asking students to nominate up to five classmates who had picked on or been mean to them, allowing the researchers to identify both bullies and victims.<br />
<br />
One of the students who reported being the victim of a friend noted, "Sometimes your own friends bully you. I don`t understand why, why my friends do this to me."<br />
<br />
Additionally, participants who were friends in the fall of the school year were over three times as likely to bully or victimize the other by the spring of the same school year.<br />
<br />
Being bullied by a friend was also linked to significant increases in anxiety and depression and lower levels of school attachment, the researchers said.<br />

Adolescents and teens may be more likely to be bullied by their friends or friends-of-friends than peers who are not closely linked, a new study suggests. The study, published in the American Journal of Sociology, found that peer aggression occurred at higher rates between friends, and friends-of-friends, than between those not closely tied.

Adolescents and teens may be more likely to be bullied by their friends or friends-of-friends than peers who are not closely linked, a new study suggests. The study, published in the American Journal of Sociology, found that peer aggression occurred at higher rates between friends, and friends-of-friends, than between those not closely tied. "People often assume that bullying occurs between relative strangers, or that it targets those on the fringes of the social network," said researcher Diane Felmlee from the Pennsylvania State University in the US. "Those do occur, but in our study, we find that the rate of peer aggression is significantly higher between those students who are closely linked," Felmlee added. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 20 per cent of students aged 12 to 18 report being bullied at school during the school year. And while many anti-bullying programmes exist, the researchers said they are not always effective. For the study, the team used data from more than 3,000 students that was collected in waves, starting when the students were in grades six, seven and eight and finishing when they were in grades eight, nine and 10, respectively. The researchers constructed "aggression networks" by asking students to nominate up to five classmates who had picked on or been mean to them, allowing the researchers to identify both bullies and victims. One of the students who reported being the victim of a friend noted, "Sometimes your own friends bully you. I don`t understand why, why my friends do this to me." Additionally, participants who were friends in the fall of the school year were over three times as likely to bully or victimize the other by the spring of the same school year. Being bullied by a friend was also linked to significant increases in anxiety and depression and lower levels of school attachment, the researchers said.
