The global fast-food chain is planning to begin paying entry-level workers between $11-17 per hour, while shift managers can earn between $15-20 per hour. And employees will soon have access to emergency backup child care, along with other perks that have typically been reserved for “middle class” workers. This could represent a long-overdue first step in an industry-wide shift when it comes to employees in the service industry, especially fast food....

“We were, quite frankly, quite surprised how frequently people were presenting with injuries relating to grooming,” coauthor on the study Benjamin Beyer, a urologist at the University of California, San Francisco, told The Guardian. “You are getting at all the nooks and crannies of your body—you are going to get places you can’t see very well.” Pubic hair removal is a mixed bag, scientifically speaking. On one hand, the practice has been linked to better genital self-image and higher levels of sexual responsiveness....

The singer shared a video of him holding his daughter Vida when he asks her if she likes “the princesses.” “No,” she firmly replies. What do you like?” Bublé asks Vida. “I like Marvel,” she declares. Bublé is clearly excited by his daughter’s revelation, as he is nodding his head happily as she once again confirmed her love for the MCU. “I should have seen it coming….Her first words were ‘I AM INEVITABLE!...

But all these years later, the most memorable part of that video was the dancing of Alyson Stoner. She was just seven years old when she beat out hundreds of other kids to land the gig. In front of a set that looks like a post-apocalyptic playground, her light pink outfit and pigtails made her stand out, as did her energetic dancing and advanced breakdancing moves that would be impressive for even an older, more experienced dancer....

When I was doing my radiology residency, my mom was really pressuring me to meet someone. I’m Indian, and she went the arranged marriage route. One of my mom’s friends found a woman in England that they thought would be perfect for me. She was a doctor, too. I got her contact information and we talked over the phone and email for about three months. Then she flew down from England to meet me in person....

My kids are stuck inside. Like stuck stuck. There’s a park near our house, but it’s pretty well populated and the coronavirus cases in our area are seriously high. So we won’t let the kids go outside without a mask. The thing is, they refuse. Our 4-year-old just hates it. The 7-year-old seems freaked out by it. Either way, neither will put it on. It reminds me of getting them into the right coat for a chilly day....

You have both had the misfortune of being born during Interesting Times. You don’t have to wonder what it would be like to grow up in an era of great peril or in a society divided or with the stakes impossibly high. That is your reality for the indefinite future. You, consequently, do not have the luxury of apathy. You do not have the luxury of nihilism. You do not have the luxury of the sidelines....

Netflix posted four photos from the film that reveal some of the on-screen collaborators Sandler will appear with again in the film. Julie Bowen, Sandler’s co-star in Happy Gilmore, and Kevin James, who hitched his wagon to the Happy Madison train a while ago appear in two of the photos. Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph, like Sandler alumni of Saturday Night Live, also make an appearance in the photos in some A+ costumes....

The album is set to be rereleased in November to celebrate its three decades of existence and the former Nirvana drummer acknowledged that it’s possible the cover could be changed. “I have many ideas of how we should alter that cover but we’ll see what happens,” Grohl told The Sunday Times. “We’ll let you know. I’m sure we’ll come up with something good.” But the change may have less to do with the anniversary and more to do with the lawsuit, as Spencer Elden, the baby who was featured on the cover, filed the suit against the surviving members of the band and Kurt Cobain’s state back in August....

What’s the Hunter Moon? Simply put, it’s a full moon, which means it qualifies for a cool nickname. In this case, the reason it’s called the Hunter Moon is not all that complicated. The brightness of this full moon allowed hunters to track game into the night. According to AccuWeather, the name tracks all the way back to Native American folklore and is how “tribes back then kept track of the seasons by giving a distinct name and meaning....

The payments of up to $300 for kids five and under and $250 for kids six to 17 represent half of the total value of the tax credit. The other half will be paid out when parents file their 2021 income tax returns next year, lessening the amount they owe and/or coming back to them as part of their refund. If you meet the income requirements to be eligible for the credit and you’ve set up direct deposit with the IRS then you already have your money....

But they are different. The way any set of siblings is different, yes. But also more so. Penelope routinely engages with other toddlers. Clementine prefers to be on her own when she’s in close proximity to others. She also tends to avoid direct eye contact. That’s because Clementine, my wife and I recently learned, is autistic. Clementine was officially diagnosed with autism at 21-months-old. My wife and I are not sure if her diagnosis will be a life-altering condition or have no impact at all....

What Is Parechovirus? Like RSV, one of the big scary viruses for infants, parechovirus has mild symptoms in older kids but can be deadly serious for young babies, and it’s currently making the rounds. On Wednesday, the CDC issued an alert warning physicians and parents that the virus had been documented in several states and that all the samples collected have been for the most severe variant of the virus, PeV-A3....

Not exactly seduction-speak, this is the kind of statement that typically precedes sex these days. My husband, Jason, and I are parents to a 3-and-a-half-year-old and 5-month-old, so we’ve become sexual opportunists. More often than not, he’s the instigator, pulling me in as I’m pouring myself a glass of pinot noir and settling in to watch Stephen Colbert gab with celebrities. Still, on most nights, TV and wine are my reward for getting through the day — not sex....

Crusts – as my 4- and 5-year old sons remind me often – are yucky. Those two, prodigious loaf munchers, are loath to consider a sandwich or slice of toast if the aforementioned bread is ringed by crust. They demand nothing but the good stuff. They demand nothing but the highlights. But life is not like that. Food is not like that so I have begun to say no. “You don’t have to eat them,” I explain, “but I’m not cutting them off either....

Patagonia Rank: 14 2017 Rank: 9Number of Employees: 1,550 In 2016, Patagonia’s Malinda Chouinard and her longtime colleague and friend Jennifer Ridgeway released a book entitled, Family Business: Innovative On-Site Child Care Since 1983. The tome is a guide to creating a family-friendly workplace and no two people could have been better positioned to author it. As the title suggests, Patagonia, which offers 12 weeks of fully paid leave, has demonstrated a commitment to families for 25 years....

When John, Ringo, and George were tripping on acid, Paul initially resisted their peer pressure. He contemplated the consequences for taking a mind-altering substance with his dad’s warnings of caution in the back of his mind. His father probably didn’t have this scenario in mind when advising his son, though. “Yeah. I heard it changes you and you’ll never be the same again,” McCartney said in his interview with GQ....

That means more daylight in the afternoon and evenings in the darkest months of the year, (yay!) but also darker mornings (boo!) at the same time. Some experts aren’t sure we should do it while others say jumping back and forth is terrible for us — after all, data has shown that adverse heart events and car accidents, and the like jump significantly in the day following springing forward in particular....

PNC Financial Services Rank: 33 2017 Rank: N/AFull-Time Employees: 53,000Median Salary: N/A Headquartered in Pittsburgh, PNC is one of the largest diversified financial services institutions in the United States and employs tens of thousands of people in 19 states and the District of Columbia. In 2016, PNC enhanced its parental leave policy to give eligible fathers, mothers and adoptive parents up to six weeks of leave at full pay. PNC is a particularly appealing employer for parents in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, where the company provides 20 days of onsite backup childcare....

With a healthy pregnancy and no complications, I couldn’t comprehend what had led to my baby requiring extraction via major abdominal surgery rather than emerging from the opening nature designed for this purpose. I felt a deep, abstract sense of incompletion along with a surreal physical urge of still needing to push something out — a phantom baby. I spent nights on the couch hidden behind my phone, reading up on the controversial practice of AROM (Artificial Rupture of Membranes, aka “breaking the water”) and how “cephalopelvic disproportion,” aka CPD, (baby too big to fit through the pelvis) was far more rare an occurrence than listed on reasons for a c-section, how “failure to progress” can be merely another term for “failure to wait....
