A group of people thought to be migrants are brought in to Dover, Kent, by a Border Force vessel following a small boat incident in the Channel. Picture date: Monday March 4, 2024. (Photo by Gareth Fuller/PA Images via Getty Images) Rishi Sunak’s pledge to stop the small boats carrying asylum seekers across the Channel is in tatters after hundreds more made the perilous journey. Figures produced by the Home Office showed that 327 made the crossing on eight boats on Sunday, with a further 401 travelling on seven flimsy vessels yesterday. It means that so far this year, 2,983 have crossed the Channel on small boats, almost exactly the same as the same time last year, when 2,953 had made the journey from France. It also means that since he became prime minister in October 2022, more than 40,…
There are three things I find impressive now I’m in my late 20s that I never thought I’d be wowed by; 1) having a good sleep routine, 2) owning a tumble dryer, and 3) possessing an extensive and varied spice collection. Those who agree with me will know that saffron, the notoriously pricey spice, is usually the crowning jewel of most spice lovers’ collections. But you might not have known that the spenny strands are often faked ― and you can tell the difference between the legit and fake kinds with just a sniff. What? I know! It all has to do with how expensive the spice is ― the substance is more expensive by weight than gold. Arash Ghalehgolabbehbahani, a research associate at the University of Vermont, explained to Business Insider that “to harvest the saffron, you need a lot of la…
Massage guns have surged in popularity in recent years, and for good reason: They actually work. According to a 2023 systematic review, massage guns can help improve short-term range of motion, flexibility and recovery. This likely comes as good news to anyone who deals with a lot of muscle stiffness. “I used to think they were just gimmicky things that might feel good in the moment but were not that useful,” admitted physical therapist Ingrid Anderson, founder of Intown Physical Therapy in Atlanta, Georgia. “Now, I believe they have a place for pain relief and treating certain conditions.” But before you whip out that massage gun, are there any parts of the body where a massage gun will do more harm than good? The answer is yes. You should avoid using a massage gun on your neck. If you’…
Is eldest daughter syndrome a real thing? A new study gives it credence. Growing up as the oldest sibling, author Y.L. Wolfe often felt the lines between her role and her mother’s role were blurred. “By the time my youngest brother was born when I was almost 11, I was overwhelmed with feelings of responsibility for his welfare. I used to sit by his crib and watch him sleep just to make sure he was safe,” Wolfe, the oldest of four, told HuffPost. “It wasn’t that I thought my mother wasn’t competent ― but more that I felt we were both responsible for the family by that point in my life,” she explained. “As if I was literally ‘other mom,’ rather than big sister.” In other words, Wolfe is deeply familiar with “eldest daughter syndrome.” The internet is rife with thinkpieces about the pligh…
It’s common for parents to gradually give their kids more responsibilities as they grow up. When those responsibilities are age-appropriate, that can be a good thing and help the child build skills like accountability, independence and teamwork. But when a child is saddled with adult responsibilities, it can turn into a damaging phenomenon known as “parentification.” Parentification is essentially when the child and caregiver swap roles. So the kid is emotionally supporting the adult (known as emotional parentification) and/or managing the logistics of the household (known as instrumental parentification). Emotional parentification tends to be more harmful than the instrumental type. ″[It’s] the phenomenon that happens when a parent relinquishes the role of parent and a child feels the…
Want to protect your brain as you age? Pick up an instrument. If you’re looking to bolster your cognitive abilities and keep your mind sharp throughout your lifetime, you may want to pick up a musical instrument. A recent study published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry found that playing is good for your brain health as you age. Researchers examined 1,107 people in the U.K. over the age of 40 with an average age of 67.82. Participants self-reported their musical experience via a questionnaire and took part in a cognitive assessment, which tested their working memory and executive function. Researchers then studied how four aspects of musicality — listening to music, playing an instrument, singing and self-reported ability — impacted cognitive behaviour and compared t…

Don't ignore the warnings that you've hit your job plateau. Jobs that are OK-but-not-great have their own unique challenges. The longer you stay at these jobs, the more comfortable you may get ― even if it does feel increasingly like your career is stalling. And that’s where you might hit the dreaded “job plateau.” It’s a period of time in a long-term job where you feel stuck, frustrated or bored by what you do. Lisa Orbé-Austin, a licensed psychologist who focuses on helping professionals manage their careers, said she sees a lot of people who will ignore for a long time that they are in a job plateau because it’s often a job they know how to do well. “The beginning of a plateau doesn’t feel terrible,” Orbé-Austin said. “But it’s when that ... becomes kind of a feeling of ‘I’ve done t…
Gary Goldsmith makes his way into the Celebrity Big Brother house The decision to cast Gary Goldsmith in the current series of Celebrity Big Brother has raised eyebrows not just for his connection to the Royal Family, but over an incident from his past. Gary, the uncle of Kate Middleton, pleaded guilty in 2017 to punching his wife in the face during a fight outside their home, for which he was sentenced to a 12-month community order and a £5,000 fine. After he was revealed on Monday night to be one of 12 housemates on the new series of Celebrity Big Brother, the domestic violence organisation Women’s Aid spoke out against the casting choice. “The decision to include a man who has been charged, and pleaded guilty to, assaulting his wife, in the Celebrity Big Brother house demonstrates the…
You may already know that early signs of dementia can show up when you brush your teeth, cook your dinner, or even eat your meals. You likely already also know that drinking too much alcohol, a poor diet, and physical inactivity are all associated with a higher risk of the condition. But ironically, it’s some potentially stressful news for my fellow anxious Annies ― it turns out that cortisol, a hormone your body releases when under stress, is linked to developing dementia. How? A 2017 study looked at the cortisol levels in the urine samples of 1,865 participants who did not have dementia at the start of the research. They then looked at the development of dementia among participants and linked it to their cortisol levels. They found that “Elevated cortisol may affect age-related cogni…

One of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century, Bond – who has died aged 89 – confronted audiences with ‘the crisis in the human species’ Edward Bond, who has died aged 89, was a phenomenal dramatist who wrote more than 50 plays, many of which helped change the face of contemporary theatre. If, in his later years, he was more honoured abroad than in the UK, it was for a variety of reasons. One was his own intransigence, which led him to fall out with many of the major theatrical institutions. Another was that his self-declared mission to confront audiences with “the crisis in the human species” found more willing hearers in France and Germany than at home. Yet he remains one of the great post-second world war dramatists. Continue reading...
Bullying going unchecked and parents fearful of complaining Warnings of ‘excessive demands’ of ‘performance-first’ system Swim England has apologised after a landmark report criticised the “toxic” culture in some clubs, with bullying going unchecked and parents fearful of complaining to the governing body due a perceived risk of retaliation.

Death announced of writer whose searing and controversial plays included Saved and Early Morning Michael Billington on Edward Bond: a phenomenal talent who upturned theatre Edward Bond, the theatrical firebrand who blew up his own career with his refusal to compromise his scorching poetic vision, died on Sunday aged 89. The death of the playwright, known for Saved, Lear and Bingo, was confirmed by the agency Casarotto Ramsay and Associates. “I write of the rape of a corpse with a beer bottle to bring back some dignity to our theatre,” wrote Bond in a programme note to his 2016 play Dea, a retelling of Medea, which piled incest and necrophilia on to the myth’s more familiar crime of infanticide. Typical of his later career, its world premiere was not at a major institution, but at the emba…
