50 best apps for kids from 2013 that parents can trust
Oh SpongeBob. The memory of seeing my sons' favourite square-panted cartoon character putting his name to a mobile game selling Jellyfish Jelly in-app purchases for up to £69.99 still makes me sad. Nickelodeon is far from the only big brand pushing the upper limits of IAP in its children's apps though, as that 10...

The Duchess of Cambridge will deliver her baby in one of the most exclusive private maternity facilities in Britain, it is understood.

Al Kazeem wins at Royal Ascot
The burgeoning reputation of Al Kazeem is greater still after his success in the Prince of Wales Stakes, the feature race on day two at Royal Ascot. Consistent Irish success at the meeting helped to send off Camelot as the favourite but last year's Derby winner was only fourth and now seems a busted flush. It cannot...

Claude in the Spotlight by Alex T Smith - review
This book is about a dog called Claude who really likes dancing, especially on his bottom. It is a very funny book, with lots of great pictures, which made me laugh.

Chris Froome given space by Bradley Wiggins' Tour de France absence
The questions about Bradley Wiggins kept coming but Chris Froome remained as tranquil as the vibe on the Côte d'Azur, where he is making his final preparations in readiness for next week's 100th edition of the Tour de France.

Semantic Polarities and Psychopathologies in the Family – review
It will be pointless to pretend this is an ordinary review.
