In one court in Kent, most cases relate to term-time holidays, but non-attendance is a complex issue and post-pandemic rates remain high As the long school summer break approached its mid-point recently, Margate beach was crowded with families enjoying the brief reprieve between the year’s fourth and fifth heatwaves. For most, thoughts of the classroom were probably not at the forefront of their minds. But for the seven mothers and two fathers who were summoned at 10am to a stuffy room in the to
Boats carrying hundreds of people are a clear and alarming trend. But where do such large vessels come from? Providing a large dinghy for use in the choppy seas of western Europe was not a problem, as long as the order was for more than 20 vessels, they said. The sales manager at the Chinese company even had an online brochure for an undercover Guardian reporter, posing as a prospective client, to peruse. They had a production capacity of 500 boats a month and, yes, it was possible to get even b
The year of Anne Hathaway is kicked into hyperdrive. Following the release of the legacy sequel "The Devil Wears Prada 2," the indie art house film "Mother Mary" and on the heels of Christopher Nolan's epic "The Odyssey," the Oscar winner now stars in the new movie "The End of Oak Street" (and she still has another movie slated for this fall!). She and Ewan McGregor are Denise and Greg Platt, a not-so-happy couple who put on a happy face for their two teenage children, Audrey and Brian (Maisy St

Soaking your burger bun in the grease and juices leftover from cooking the patty to add extra flavor may seem intuitive, but one chef says it's "one of the worst things you can do." To form a nice crust on the bun, executive chef Michael Hawk of the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, Florida, said to toast it in butter to create a barrier that's both flavorful and adds texture.

The coverage of political scandal is one of the most obvious fields of study for anyone looking at media bias. The same people who unconvincingly claimed President Barack Obama's presidency was "largely scandal-free" can manufacture a scandal a day under President Donald Trump. The allegedly outrageous scandal of this week happened in Turkey , where the Secret Service advised Trump to switch to a different military plane to fly home while the press (and top administration officials) stayed on Ai

Nazeeh Johnson's story is a heartbreaker and not because he learned on Friday that the NFL is suspending him six games for violating league policy, but because that violation is apparently linked to the Tennessee Titans player and his wife trying in vain to start their family.
