Many beginners start exploring UX through online coding courses, because these programs help you understand how digital products are built and why design decisions matter. You do not need prior experience
Public transport operator EBS has placed an order with BYD for 73 electric buses, which will enter service in Zeeland from December 2026 under the brand Reizen Door Zeeland, the name under which the company will operate public transport in the province. The news is shared by EBS itself with a press note. The order comprises 64 twelve-metre buses and 9 fifteen-metre buses, with the first vehicles expected to be delivered in summer 2026.
Fiona Hinze can see it coming when she spins around the streets of San Francisco: An indicator showing that her wheelchair battery is running out of juice. Hinze is always with someone when she's out with her power chair. When the battery dies, she switches on the manual mode, takes the chair out of gear, and asks her companion to push her chair - which weighs a couple hundred pounds, plus her body weight - to her car.
Under the proposals, buses that currently serve Oxford Street would be rerouted to the north, heading along Wigmore Street and Henrietta Place. Two new pairs of bus stops with shelters and countdown displays would be installed along this route. It's expected that the diversion would add no more than a minute to journey times.
Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan said: "We need urgent action to give the nation's high street a new lease of life." PA Media "I'm pleased that we're now moving ahead with our exciting plans to regenerate this iconic area, backed by the vast majority of Londoners and businesses," he added. The mayor explained that the new proposals, released on Friday, "map out the potential next steps" of the plan. Sir Sadiq said he "encourages everyone to have their say on the proposals".
Fernando Andrade understood this intimately when he began designing the Amazon Bus Station in Belém, a project born not from architectural ego but from genuine public consultation with the people who would actually use it. They asked for four things: protection from the weather, environmental comfort, durability, and reasonable cost. What they got exceeded every expectation: a soaring, sculptural shelter that treats public transit users as deserving of the same design attention typically reserved for museums and corporate headquarters.
Doctors said Wong likely wouldn't live beyond the age of 18, which she said limited her early worldview in ways that ultimately pushed her toward justice work. 'Doctors told my parents I wouldn't live past 18, so I grew up never imagining what grownup old ass Alice would look like, and this is why visibility, being able to tell our stories and controlling our own narratives, is why I do what I do,' Wong said during a 2024 summit, per the Chronicle.
I really hope my casting sets precedent, says Bode, adding: It's just navigating a world and a system that we have just not been acknowledged in as we should be.
"Earning the distinction of being the first Accessibility Verified state reflects Oregon's deep and ongoing commitment to welcoming all travelers," Kevin Wright, the VP of brand stewardship at Travel Oregon, said in a statement shared with Travel + Leisure. "Through this designation, we're building a tourism landscape where inclusion is meaningful and central to the visitor experience."
The Barbican is a maze. A beautiful brutalist, multi-levelled maze of crisscrossing walkways in the sky - but still a maze. In a way, that's part of the cultural institution's charm, always leading visitors to discover surprising corners of the site. There are, however, a few downsides to the Barbican's labyrinthine layout. Sometimes you'll try to meet a friend before a show and find yourself at the opposite side to where you're meant to be (or worse, in the car park).
Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the Royal National Institute of Blind People urged the authorities to act "immediately" to fix the issue. The charity said it was concerned the puddle was affecting some people's ability to "walk safely and independently" in the area. Campaigns officer Clay Nash said the flood water blocks access to a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing that allows blind and partially-sighted people to safely cross the road to reach Moorfields Eye Hospital.
I regularly restart my Pixel 9 Pro, and there's a good reason for that. Actually, there are several reasons why I regularly restart my phone (weekly -- at least). Here's a short list for you to ponder: Improves performance by clearing temporary caches. Enhances security by disrupting possible cyberattacks and clearing possible malware stored in memory. Resolves issues such as if your phone has slowed down, is getting hot, apps are crashing, and you're having connectivity issues, a restart often will fix those issues.
Retailers obsess over traffic and promotional strategy, but holiday performance ultimately comes down to how many shoppers make it from product page to cart to confirmation. Baymard Institute reported that 70% of shopping carts are abandoned, representing billions in lost revenue each year. In normal weeks, that's painful. During Cyber Week and the weekends that follow, it's revenue walking out the virtual door.
Pedestrians are forced to sprint past it for fear of a tidal wave from passing taxis; elderly people have been known to test the amphibious capabilities of mobility scooters; and passengers in a rush have to choose between wet socks or missing their train. Stretching several metres between Upper Woburn Place and Gower Street, the pool on the busy road in Camden has earned local notoriety for stubbornly reappearing following rainfall and evading highways workers' efforts to drain it.
Taking therapy sessions beyond the four walls of the office transforms practice. While traditional indoor sessions offer a predictable and stable environment, outdoor sessions provide a co-created experience by combining therapy with the benefits of time in nature with physical movement. The walk-and-talk therapy format has grown rapidly over the past five years, accelerated by the pandemic and therapists taking sessions outdoors to reduce COVID-19 exposure risks.
As someone living with chronic illness, I've had to be creative when it comes to where I work. On good days, I'm in my actual office, but when I'm flaring, I'm usually curled up in bed with my laptop on its side, which is obviously not ideal. Finding a setup that's actually stable and ergonomic has been a struggle, to say the least. That's why this rolling bedside table from FlexiSpot caught my eye - it looks like it could genuinely make life easier.
Clancy has now posted a personal statement on the Twitch X account, apologizing directly to Emiru and taking responsibility for the incident. "It shouldn't have happened and we take that very seriously," Clancy said in the statement. "We failed, both in allowing it to occur, and in our response following. We mismanaged our communications about the incident, and that includes the comments I made. I apologize to Emiru for all that took place."
October 2025 has been absolutely incredible for tiny home enthusiasts. We've seen designs that push boundaries, challenge conventions, and prove that small spaces can deliver big on style and functionality. These aren't your typical cookie-cutter tiny houses cramming everything into a loft bedroom. Instead, we're looking at homes that solve real problems and create genuinely livable spaces. What strikes me most about this month's standout designs is how each one tackles a different challenge in tiny living.
Mitcham and Morden MP, Dame Siobhain McDonagh, has called on LINK, the operator of the UK's banking hubs, to rethink its decision that the area is ineligible for one. With the closure of Lloyds, Mitcham will lose its last remaining bank a lifeline for many local people and small businesses who rely on in-person banking, said Dame Siobhain. They shouldn't have to travel to another town just to access basic financial services.
Campaigners including Tanni Grey-Thompson have warned that disabled drivers are at risk of being locked out of the electric car transition because of inaccessible chargers. The former Paralympics champion and the Electric Vehicle Association England are pushing for the government to introduce standards to ensure chargers are easy to reach. The number of public chargers across the UK is rising rapidly, with 17,400 two an hour installed in the year to July. However, the lack of standards means that disabled drivers have often been unable to trust that they can use them.
