Health officials across northern and western India, including the capital, New Delhi, have said they are in crisis, with most hospitals full and running out of oxygen.

TW: This article talks openly and frankly about the death of loved ones Death doesn’t usually come up over an oat latte or a bottomless brunch. It doesn’t feel appropriate to ask your boss for a month off after a significant loss, despite the fact that your life has changed irreversibly. There’s an expectation that grief expires, that its grip on our heart relaxes and we can continue on with our lives once a certain amount of time has passed. But that’s simply not true. Grief is still a taboo subject. It is discussed straight after the death happens when there’s a wave of support but, a few weeks later, it begins to dwindle as life (and supposedly grief) moves on. In the UK, there’s no standardised bereavement leave so the only option is returning to work, and ‘normal’ life, a few days or weeks later. From then on, grief is swept under the carpet. It isn’t thrown into conversation over a coffee or slipped into a “How are you?” text from your friend. Those who are not going through it treat grief as if it is a burden; it weighs down a chat with an invisible black cloud that nobody knows how to deal with. There is a community on TikTok where this is not the case. The #grief hashtag on TikTok has over 436 million views, with thousands of stories of bereavement offering a much-needed dose of reality to those suffering in silence. On GriefTok, there’s no sugar-coating the loss of loved ones, no aesthetic filters to soften the blow. No one here is biting their bottom lip so as not to cry. Instead, users openly and honestly share the truth of unpredictable, lifelong grief. It is a nonjudgmental space where no one has to explain how grief feels as everyone else who is grieving already understands. According to Child Bereavement UK, one in 29 children between the age of 5 and 16 have been bereaved of a parent or a sibling — on average that’s one child in every class. In the UK alone, 111 children under the age of 18 lose a parent every day. I was one of those children. I was 16 when I lost my dad to a brain tumour. Having to explain to every single person that your parent has died is emotionally exhausting, especially when they respond with that look. It was refreshing, then, to find TikTok user @hiitsmisspetch making light of this experience in a video, listing the things people have asked her about her parents before responding, emotionless: “They’re dead.” @hiitsmisspetch Stuff people say whose parents have died #parents #grief #loss #griefandloss ♬ Oh No – Kreepa It is the honesty of @cayleighs_car_chats who records herself singing along to “Killing Me Softly” before bursting into tears as she remembers singing the song with her brother and sister who passed away. It is the raw display of emotion from @kristen_barness who records a video through floods of tears, sharing how her sister used to do her makeup when she felt insecure. Now that her sister’s gone, she struggles to do it herself. Videos from brave women like this remind us that even small, everyday tasks are filled with emotions and memories which make daily life so bittersweet after losing someone you loved. Users on GriefTok often choose to capture a very specific moment in their grief journey for their videos, from revisiting a parent’s grave after 20 years to letting go of their possessions and the empty chair at the dining table. Each video is a snapshot of living with loss which beautifully encapsulates the sadness and the joy in remembrance. Since bereavement isn’t discussed openly, we haven’t all developed the language to talk about grief. Out of fear of saying the wrong thing, friends stop mentioning the death at all. Yet according to a survey by Child Bereavement UK, 26% of adults who have lost a close family member wish their friends would mention by name the person who died, while a tenth of all adults say some of their friends actively avoided them after they lost a loved one. It’s never been more important for grievers to feel heard; the UK saw 70,000 excess deaths in the pandemic, bringing the total of bereaved individuals to an estimated 2.6 million in 2020 alone. @cayleighs_car_chats #grief is Killing Me Softly… #grieving #griefjourney #griefandloss #fypage #fyp #reality #normalizegrief ♬ original sound – Cayleigh Pina As anyone who has been bereaved will tell you, grief doesn’t have an expiration date. It’s not something you ‘get over’; you can feel the loss as fervently as ever, decades after it happened. As someone who is well acquainted with grief, I found the discussions about grief on TikTok heartbreakingly honest and relatable. When my dad died, I felt like a part of me died with him. He was 46, full of life and, until he was diagnosed, the healthiest person I knew. Death is always a shock, even if someone has a terminal illness. Nothing quite prepares you for their death nor anyone else to be able to support you. I felt so alone in my grief, even though my family and I were going through the same loss. I had to sit my GCSE exam several hours after he died, go to school every day, get my A-levels. I was forced to return to everyday life as though nothing had changed and, while I tried, sometimes I couldn’t get out of bed. I shut down because I didn’t know how to express how I felt. I certainly didn’t know that I’d have to learn to live with my grief – that it doesn’t go away. @kristen_barness ##imissyousissy ##llt ##grief ♬ Heal – Tom Odell The pain is in the small moments too, as TikTokers Cayleigh and Kristen highlighted. I’d go out for dinner with my family and the waiter would remove the fourth place at the table. I’d listen to my friends tell me what they were getting their dad for Father’s Day or how they’d argued with him over a party. Death fundamentally makes people very uncomfortable. But as @hiitsmisspetch’s video and the thousands of comments beneath it point out, sometimes the reality of a situation needs to be said directly, in order to just get through it. Initially I didn’t know how to talk about grief; I didn’t have the words as I hadn’t been taught them. GriefTok is a space for everyone to share the intimate and painful details of death in a very public, frank way. As a watcher, I don’t have to comment or engage if I don’t feel up to it. I can just listen to stories and feel less alone in my grief as I know the other users understand. Listening also helps you develop the language to talk about your own grief: sometimes people can describe how you’re feeling even when you can’t. The GriefTok community is changing the dialogue around grief for the better by offering more than a condolence after a death. It’s about sustaining a lifelong and compassionate conversation about grief. In the same way that you’ve probably tried the TikTok wrap hack or used the platform to learn a new dance, think of GriefTok as a reminder to check in with your grieving friends months and even years after the death; keep the dialogue honest and ongoing. Sadly, everyone will get to know the shorthand of grief eventually in their lifetime. Until that day, observe GriefTok, empathise and, most importantly, bring that dialogue into the real world.

Dear Daniela,How important is it to drink water for your skin? I constantly hear beauty influencers and celebrities saying that water is their ultimate beauty secret, and I see people on TikTok challenging themselves to drink these massive bottles of it every day. I know water is good for you but will it really affect my skin? How much do I need to drink?Alannah, 29 As a cub reporter, I was sent backstage at more fashion shows than I can remember. I would have to sweet-talk stern women with clipboards and ear pieces to get in, then duck flying cans of hairspray and sidestep clothes rails speeding towards me. My goal? Approach the models and ask them for their ‘beauty secrets’ while they sat in hair and makeup, legs akimbo, in a folding chair, scrolling on their phones. Sometimes one of them would reveal a cool French pharmacy product I’d not heard of before, or maybe even tell me their favourite facialist. But for the most part they’d intone: “I drink a lot of water.”You’re absolutely right that water is non-negotiable in anyone’s daily regime, for health and beauty reasons, and like you I’ve seen the curious trend of the ‘two gallon’ challenge. If you were previously exclusively drinking juice, fizzy drinks or coffee, drinking more water will almost definitely make you feel better. I mean, humans are about 70% water. We’re cucumbers with imposter syndrome! But what is the tipping point in terms of it actually helping our skin? “Water is the main component of our cells and tissues, and represents the majority of our body’s composition,” confirmed Dr Costas Papageorgiou, a plastic surgeon and aesthetic doctor. “Some studies show an increase in what we call ‘deep’ skin hydration after additional water intake, as well as reductions of the clinical signs of dryness and roughness, plus an increase in the elasticity of the skin. However, a clear definition of our daily water requirements does not exist,” he added.There are a few guidelines bouncing around. Dr Papageorgiou pointed to an American recommendation of 2.7 litres and 3.7 litres a day for men and women respectively, and a more conservative recommendation from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of 2l and 2.5l of water per day for women and men. The British Dietetic Association suggests even less at 1.5 to 2 litres a day. The popular maxim that eight glasses a day is the magic number comes from a recommendation made all the way back in 1945 and even in that recommendation, the following sentence noted that most of that water is actually found in foods. Apples, spinach, tomatoes – lots of fruits and vegetables are high in water, and it’s advisable to eat your water as well as drink it. “Cutaneous water content, or the amount of water in the skin, is known to play an important role in different skin functions, such as the water ‘barrier‘ and water deficiency is associated with several dermatological dysfunctions,” explained Dr Papageorgiou. Not staying adequately hydrated could indeed make your skin feel tight, dry and itchy, especially if you’re already prone to eczema or dermatitis. Hydrated skin also reflects light better, which can give you a dewier, fresher face, but there’s no study which says a certain, exact amount will tip you over into ‘unlocking’ the benefits of skin hydration. No doubt anyone who has acne will have been told at some point to drink more water, which must be just as annoying as “just wash your face”. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there’s nothing to say that chugging Evian will do much for breakouts. “More research is needed to confirm whether drinking more water can improve acne,” said Dr Papageorgiou. “Water is essential to proper detoxification, as it helps carry nutrients through your body, flush out toxins and keep your liver and kidneys working efficiently.” One really important thing to take away there: when Dr Papageorgiou says ‘detoxification’, he’s talking about your body’s own detoxification system of kidneys, liver and sweat, not green juices, herbal teas or ‘clean’ eating. The best way to think about water as part of your skincare routine is as a foundational layer that will almost undoubtedly support your skin’s health but probably won’t fundamentally change how it looks or feels in the same way skincare or even injectables might. If you know you don’t drink much – or really any – water and your skin is feeling dry and/or you’re bothered by breakouts, increasing your water consumption is probably advisable and hopefully it will help. Just like sleep and diet, you need to be at a point where what you’re aiming for is doable, sustainable and enjoyable for you. Some people need nine hours of shut-eye, others really are fine on five. Some people feel that dairy plays havoc with their complexion, others mainline cheese with little ill effect. Overhydration is absolutely a thing and it does happen. While I have no authority to comment on the safety of ‘water challenges’, some of the bottles I’ve seen people fight their way through are alarmingly large – even if it’s not dangerous, it’s almost certainly superfluous. One thing’s for sure: if someone tells you their only beauty secret is to drink water? Take it with a pinch of salt.Daniela Got a question for our resident beauty columnist Daniela Morosini?

Scanfil Group’s Interim Report for 1 January – 31 March 2021: Brisk trend in demand continued from the end of 2020 January - March Turnover totalled EUR 163.3 million (Q1 2020: 144.1), an increase of 13.4%Operating profit EUR 10.0 (8.6) million, 6.1% (6.0%) of turnover, an increase of 15.5%Net profit was EUR 7.6 (7.5) millionEarnings per share were EUR 0.12 (0.12)Dividend of EUR 0.17 per share for year 2020 to be paid on May 3, an increase in dividend for 8th consecutive year Future Outlook Scanfil estimates that its turnover for 2021 will be EUR 600 – 640 million and its adjusted operating profit will be EUR 40 – 44 million. The guidance for 2021 involves uncertainty arising from the potential negative impact of the availability of certain materials, especially semiconductors, and the COVID-19 pandemic on customer demand and the delivery capability of the component supply chain. Long-Term Target Scanfil’s long-term target: In 2023, Scanfil is organically aiming for EUR 700 million turnover and 7% operating profit.

The customer demand recovery that had already started in the latter part of 2020 continued positively during the quarter. Demand for products related to sustainable energy, indoor climate, automation, collection solutions and elevators developed especially strongly. The trading business, which is now expected to be completed, was still contributing about EUR 8.1 million to sales during the quarter. COVID-19 is not over yet, and we successfully continued the fight against it; the performance of our personnel and factories has remained high this year. Although the availability of certain materials was critical, we did not suffer from any major material restrictions during the quarter. Continuous attention was paid and lot of actions taken to mitigate the risks and ensure the materials for production. Profitability developed as expected. The operating profit for the quarter was EUR 10.0 million, 6.1% of turnover and an increase of 16% on the previous year. A strong sales volume, especially in March, supported profitability, especially in factories in China, Poland and Estonia. However, low profit trading sales and Hamburg production transfer with an ongoing factory ramp down required extra resources and costs, which negatively impacted the operating profit margin slightly. Scanfil’s financial position is strong, allowing the planned investments and enabling flexibility for opportunities. In the first quarter, the net cash flow from operations, before investments and financial items, was EUR 7.7 (5.6) million. The equity ratio was 52.1%, and net gearing 5.9%. We continue the year with confidence. We have seen customers’ forecasts gradually rising, bringing confidence in demand. Key risks are associated with the continuing coronavirus pandemic and the availability of certain materials. We have identified these risks and launched appropriate mitigation actions. We are keeping our guidance unchanged and expect our turnover for 2021 to be EUR 600 – 640 million and our operating profit to be EUR 40 – 44 million. We’ve had a good start to the year! I want to thank our committed personnel for a job well done, and our customers for their support and trust.
