Far-left anarchist groups, known as "Black Blocks" ran amok in Paris on Tuesday after joining the traditional May Day rally in Paris. Shouting "Rise up, Paris" and "Everyone hates the police", the hooded and black jacketed youths threw petrol bombs, setting fire to a McDonald's restaurant near Austerlitz station, forcing the riot police to use water cannon and tear gas in an effort to disperse them.

Google’s parent company Alphabet is the best employer in the world, according to data compiled by Statista and Forbes, on best publicly-listed companies to work for. Alphabet topped the list with a perfect score of 100, with employees citing the company’s image, working conditions and diversity as the reasons for its top rating. And no, having an office where you can nap isn’t the reason that more than two million people every year apply to work at Google. Image by Brooks Kraft LLC/Corbis via Getty Images
The troubling saga of H1-B workers’ spouses on H4 visas in the US has worsened after President Donald Trump's ascent to the White House in 2016. H4 visa holders were not allowed to work for pay in the US until the Obama government changed the rule in 2015. Within weeks, anti-immigration groups filed a case challenging the concession and that case is still going on. At its heart, most of the women who are highly qualified, are simply expressing a desire to work in a land espousing liberty and equal opportunity. Image by Yichuan Cao/NurPhoto via Getty Images
It’s a pop-up, but it takes 25 staffers on any given shift drawing from a San Francisco employee pool of 120 to run the Museum of Ice Cream. To get a job at the Museum, show up at the weekly casting call. And prepare for the first question: “What’s your ice-cream name?” That will be your identity. The job: mop scuff marks off the pink, alphabet-patterned linoleum, replace the cracked whipped-cream cans on the wall, offer ice-cream cones and cotton candy and mint mochis at precise moments and exert subtle crowd control, all the while keeping an easy jibe. The recruits’ average about 20 years old, so forget applying, you millennial! Image by Kelly Sullivan/Getty Images for Museum of Ice Cream
