Coping with grief: The things i’ve learnt – Designing Experience. Everyone at some point in their life will experience grief and loss, its an unfortunate, inevitability of life.
The reason grief is so challenging is because it manifests itself physically, psychologically and even spiritually (when you start to doubt your beliefs as to why something so terrible could happen). I’ve learnt that grief is never a straight line or a series of stages like the ones proposed. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, you may feel all of them at once or you may feel depression before denial, there is no set order and there is no set rule book to say you’ll experience them all either.

How does misinformation spread online? In the run up to the 2013 Italian elections, a social media post exposing the corruption of parliament went viral.
Italian politicians were quietly certain that, win or lose, they would be financially secure by taking money from the taxpayer.

Person of the Year 2015 Runner-Up: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. By Massimo CalabresiIllustration by Piotr Lesniak for TIME They rallied to his call: the violent and the suicidal, the lawless and the fanatical, gathering in cyberspace from around the world to pledge allegiance to his self-proclaimed caliphate.
Some acted in his name in the real world, killing hundreds of innocents at hotels, mosques and concert halls from Paris to the Sinai, Beirut to San Bernardino. A handful of adherents were close to him, like the woman who ran his sex-slave operation. Others were thousands of miles away yet under his command and control, like those behind the attacks in France on Nov. 13 that killed 130 people.
Still others may have had no more connection to him than a declaration of allegiance on Facebook—like Tashfeen Malik, who posted right before she and her partner killed 14 people in Southern California on Dec. 2. Here Are All the Roads That Lead to Rome. All roads might not technically lead to Rome—but, if you happen to be in Europe, the majority of them do.

Carlisle State Brewery - Carlisle, Cumbria, UK - the State-managed Liquor Trade This unique experiment dates back to the First World War, with the construction of the country's largest munitions factory to the north of Carlisle on the Scottish Border between Longtown and Gretna.Its construction took two years to complete and finally employed over 25,000 people, some of whom were housed in two new towns constructed in the area.
Unfortunately, these townships could only accommodate a minority of the workers - the majority were forced to live in Carlisle, the only large town within 50 miles.This influx of workers, free of family ties and with a large amount of disposable income had the obvious effect on the liquor trade throughout the town, with clear effects on munitions production and safety. The problem was evident when reviewing the statistics for drunkenness in the area.
From 1914-15 these stood at approximately 250 convictions; this rose to nearly 1000 in 1916. Why Do Some Non-Ginger Guys Have Ginger Beards? Males aged 18 to 60 have been hit by an epidemic of beard growing over the past two years or so.
Experts have underestimated how long it will continue to rage, although if current trends continue, all young urban media professionals will be affected by 2017 (probably).

Guy Martin: My 1,000-mile Indian road trip on a Royal Enfield. In the first episode, we see Grimsby-born Martin crawling through Delhi traffic at three miles an hour, before spending 12 hours in a city station waiting for a delayed train for a part of the journey he would complete by rail.
For the rest of the 1,000 miles, he rode on a Royal Enfield – a British-designed vehicle which went out of production in the UK in the 1970s but remains the most popular bike in India. One dealer Martin meets in the documentary claims he could find a person who knew how to fix the bike on every street corner in the country.

Last summer, sitting outside his pub near Dover, landlord Nigel Wyndmus saw a small dinghy. A cutter from the coastguard drew up alongside. At first he mistook what was happening for a training exercise. "The boat was just a few hundred yards out," Mr Wyndmus said, "and we realised that it was illegal immigrants trying to get to England. " He added: "People coming across on boats was not really considered an option" - he believed it was all done by stowaways boarding lorries and trying to break into the Channel Tunnel.
