TAMING THE TROLLS
Most of us probably use social media and agree that it’s a great innovation. But there’s a nasty side to it too; those who use their keyboards as weapons of hate. Rather than Facebook and Twitter doing everything in their power to silence the idiots of the internet, it seems these tech giants welcome the trolls. Former executives reveal the dirty tricks used to encourage bullies and explain how good it is for profits. It’s a cynical business model, but now victims of this online bullying are fighting back.

What does it mean long-term?

Angel Babies
Confronting difficult subjects head on is never easy. Often stories about miscarriage can fall into that category. It’s a topic few people talk about and even understand. But there is a simple yet hard-to-believe fact which means it must be given more attention. About one in four pregnancies ends in a miscarriage, and when it does, it’s often associated with shame, blame and guilt. Now some parents are speaking their truth and no longer ignoring it.
