The impact of COVID on working women’s lives is the reason for both the modest current improvement in the gender wage gap and the likelihood that it will widen again in the future. Since the pandemic began two year ago, millions of women have left their jobs, at higher rates than men, because of mass layoffs in female-dominated fields and childcare demands triggered by school and daycare closures. Over that period, Payscale’s research shows, the gap between what men and women are typically paid narrowed by three cents, with women earning $....

And what can be said if that quarterback had pulled that off four weeks earlier against another playoff contender … and had done it to yet another playoff team a week before that? Three times in six weeks, with their postseason lives on the line? If that quarterback is Cam Newton, the only thing to say is: He has arrived. Watch out, playoff opponents, you officially have a lot more to worry about than that defense....

Luongo entered his 1,030th game Sunday night at the end of the second period against the Lightning, passing Patrick Roy for sole possession of second place. He will likely remain No. 2, as he is 236 appearances behind all-time leader Martin Brodeur. Luongo made the majority of these appearances during two stints with the Panthers from 2000-2006 and 2013. He also spent eight seasons with the Canucks and reached the Stanley Cup Final in 2011....

In the post, user Bunnyfuller explains how her daughter recently got her first job as a barista in a coffee shop, “She was given her contracts to sign a few weeks ago, and given an employee handbook. In it it says pay should go up once ‘customer trained’ and again when barista trained. She’s definitely completed the assessments for both of these, and when she asked the shop manager about the raise as laid out in the handbook, the manager said ‘oh, I think that’s wrong, that book is from last year’....

There is no instinct more powerful than the urge to protect one’s children. But that impulse increasingly conflicts with the desire to dress them up in helmets and pads and send them crashing into one another. Not many confrontations between parents end up with someone getting killed, luckily. But school and youth-sports officials agree that incidents of sports rage involving players, coaches, officials and parents are rising year by year....

Few topics are more divisive among cat owners than the debate around dressing pets up in elaborate and often inventive costumes. While such outfits may be a source of amusement to many, some pet lovers view the practice as cruel and unnecessary. Speaking to PetCoach, Dr. Nancy Dunkle, the founder of Exclusively Cats Veterinary Hospital in Medford, New Jersey said: “I’ve never seen a cat wearing a costume or clothing that looked happy per his facial and body language....

On August 11, a post titled ‘Collection of the fights between Lee Se Young and Park Eun Bin’ was created, and the video quickly spread on the internet. The videos were a recording of the two actresses physically fighting with each other. However, K-drama fans agree that these videos are rather adorable. The videos were scenes from a drama titled My Love Patzzi, aired 20 years ago in 2002, that the two actresses appeared in when they were both children....

Question is: Will he? Parker is considering a second collegiate season, according to published reports. Multiple NBA general managers believe Parker is headed back to Duke, according to NBA draft analyst Chad Ford of ESPN. Ford said he believes Parker will leave for the NBA. Parker has until April 27 to decide whether to declare for the draft or return to school. Parker is expected to be part of a much-hyped draft class, along with Andrew Wiggins, Julius Randle, Dante Exum, Aaron Gordon and Joel Embiid....

The 23-year-old appeared before Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer, who asked him how he pleads to each killing at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Florida, and to the counts of attempted first-degree murder for those who were wounded in the 2018 massacre. Cruz’s attorneys strongly hinted last week that he will plead guilty to all charges in a bid to avoid being executed - something the parents of several victims have called for ahead of the trial....

Trailing 2-1 heading into the fourth game at the Wanderers, the tourists were dealt a further blow with the news that captain Sarfraz Ahmed had been suspended under the ICC’s anti-racism code for comments made towards Andile Phehlukwayo during Tuesday’s loss in Durban. Shoaib Malik led the side in the absence of Sarfraz, who will also miss the fifth ODI as well as the first two Twenty20s, and the stand-in skipper saw Usman Shinwari and Imam-ul-Haq deliver telling performances....

While the Australian bowlers performed well, it was their batting which let them down as they fell short by a huge margin of 66 runs in the first match. They fought back in the second match just to fall short of 11 runs while the Pakistani team defeated Australia by 33 runs in the 3rd encounter of the series. Here’s a look at the top 3 performers of the T20I series-...

Smart has put in a request to New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and the Executive Board of the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, where she has been incarcerated for over 30 years. According to her lawyers, she requested parole because she has “accepted responsibility for her role in Gregg Smart’s murder, expressed deep remorse and anguish concerning her conduct.” Gregg Smart was shot dead in the couple’s condo in May 1990....

Panama reached Russia 2018 in a dramatic final round of qualifying matches, with Roman Torres’ late goal downing rivals Costa Rica as the United States lost to Trinidad and Tobago. Gomez’s side found the going predictably tough at the tournament, losing all three matches in Group G, including a 6-1 defeat to England in a game where they were 5-0 down at half-time. “Now, for me, it is the time for the difficult act of moving my feet from the place where I have put my heart,” Gomez said in a statement published on the Panama Football Federation’s (FEPAFUT) official website....

Sharma, who hammered an unbeaten 46 off 19 balls, was one of three IPL debutants for Delhi today along side Nepal leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane and South African pacer Junior Dala. Considering how easily Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 188 in the previous game, Virat Kohli opted to put the opposition in. The RCB skipper started with spin and it got him instant breakthrough with Yuzvendra Chahal castling the talented Prithvi Shaw with a wrong one....

The Denver Broncos, for instance, have moved to the top of several power rankings, including Sporting News’s. Was that more because of losses by teams like Seattle, and was the Broncos’ win over the Jets all that impressive? They’ll get a much better test from the 49ers Sunday — and the 49ers are getting a much stiffer test as well, which could give perspective to their Monday night rout of the Rams, after a disturbingly slow start....

One of those individual performances we have our eyes on is LeSean McCoy’s production against one of the game’s worst run defenses. “Shady” is on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook for 95.5 total rushing yards. Betting the OVER (-110) in this spot is a little aggressive, but there are reasons on each side to support that play. For starters, McCoy has been running the ball well of late. A pair of terrible performances (29 carries, 39 yards between Weeks 3 and 4) and his lack of TDs make it seem like he’s having a worse year than he is....
