But when I gave birth to my daughter in 2013, I worked three days a week. This changed after having my son in 2015, as I transitioned into working four days a week. It was always a juggle balancing my career and spending quality time at home with my children. The parenting shift from nursery to school Some people think that when children are younger, parents are typically able to achieve a better balance in taking care of them, but it gets harder as the children get older....

Here I am, on Saksahanskoho Street, an area peculiar in the cultural landscape of Kyiv. The restaurants are more eastern, the hipsters are more grungy, and the snow seems browner. Most importantly though, Saksahanskoho is where I first played music with my friend Nate—in a dimly lit basement rehearsal studio called Checkpoint. I’m an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Nate, also an American, is a wicked good drummer. Our first jam went well, and soon after we added our bassist David, a third member from the U....

“Since the Boston Marathon is very challenging, particularly the ‘heartbreak hill’ at the 20-mile mark, it will be difficult to achieve a good time. Hence I don’t want to take a risk this year,” said Indian Armyman Rawat, who finished overall 31st in a time of 2 hours 22 minutes at the rescheduled 2021 Boston Marathon in October. “I couldn’t sleep because of the long-distance flight to Boston from India....

Being a teenage girl growing up in the ’80s, I didn’t fit in with the “cool” crowd who dressed in designer brands. But my first job was in retail, shortly followed by visual merchandising, so I’ve always known how important image and how you perceive yourself is. My own body image is something I work on daily. In my role as a brand consultant I work with mostly female-owned small companies and entrepreneurs, I see how much body image can impact individuals....

“I’m not going to lie, I’m shaking over here,” said DJ, a member of the friend group that posts under the TikTok account benztraphouse, before his own experience. One by one, the friend group had a chance to experience what menstrual cramps felt like from the machine. While most of the women in the group seemed unaffected, one even said that the pain delivered by the machine wasn’t as bad as what she experiences monthly, it wasn’t as easy for their male counterparts....

Messi moved to Paris last summer after his contract with Barcelona expired. In the process, the Argentine followed in the footsteps of Neymar, who had shifted to the Parc des Princes from the Camp Nou in 2017. The two players are known for their camaraderie and close friendship since the Brazilian joined Barcelona in 2014. On the Fenomenos Podcast, Neymar said that he had tried to return to Barcelona in 2020....

We’re on lockdown, so my husband, my son and I don’t really leave home at the moment—except just once a week to get groceries. Back in 2008, a few years after I moved to New York, I was at a party and met an air guitarist called Taryn “Bettie B. Good” Kapronika. I’ve always sung karaoke, and I love being on stage, and she said to me, “If you love being on stage, and you love metal, you need to do air guitar!...

Lynch, 34, trained at Balor’s wrestling school in Ireland as a 15-year-old. She gave birth to her first child, Roux, with Seth Rollins in December 2020. It is currently unclear if and when she will make her WWE return. Speaking to WWE Now India, Balor clarified that Lynch trained at his school, but he does not want to take credit for her success. The Irishman added that he will be “very excited” to see the former RAW Women’s Champion compete again....

Hernandez’s goal Saturday in Rostov-on-Don helped El Tri past South Korea and also put him level with Luis “El Matador’ Hernandez with four goals scored at the world’s most important tournament. While criticism still arrives from some corners of the Mexican fan base, something Chicharito said will continue to happen to him and his teammates no matter what they do, the majority of fans are fully upon the bandwagon. That all would change if Mexico fails to pick up a point in Wednesday’s final group match and misses out on the round of 16 for the first time since the 1978 tournament in Argentina....

As a sleep researcher, I’m a bit of an oddity amongst my sleep scientist peers. While the majority of sleep science focuses on how sleep, or lack of it, affects individuals, my research looks at sleep as a shared experience within couples and how sleep (or lack thereof) can affect the quality of our closest relationships and vice versa. I began studying the coupled nature of sleep in 2006 out of a desire to understand how and why some close relationships confer health benefits whereas others confer health risks....

NEWSWEEK: Whose idea was this? “Mark”: We were sitting around at my friend’s apartment one night over a couple of beers. The girl and I had been in a fight, and she kept calling and calling and calling and calling. I couldn’t retrieve my voice mails fast enough before there would be another message. A couple of my friends happen to be in computers, and one guy looked at the other and said, “Look, you’re sitting on a comedic gold mine....

Get odds on Arsenal-Leicester The Gunners are keen to land the highly rated 21-year-old, who played a key role in helping Monaco claim the Ligue 1 title last season as well as reach the Champions League semi-finals.

After being “together for a year and a half,” the Bravo star officially got engaged to her boyfriend in April this year. The star shared the news on her podcast, Currently Cringing, in May. Anisha even picked her own engagement ring as she didn’t have time for surprises.

My college dining hall had little gourd pumpkins, squash and garlic as decorations, and I would take these back to my dorm and cook them for my roommates, using our tiny toaster oven. I realized that that was what brought me the most joy: cooking for others. So I transferred schools, studied food service management at The Rosen College, University of Central Florida, and got a job at the Walt Disney World kitchens, where I fell in love with being a chef....

Celtic sealed a sixth consecutive crown with a 5-0 victory over Hearts on Sunday, before announcing Rodgers’ extension, securing his future until 2021, on Friday.

It is as if my blood has suddenly been placed on a quick-boil stove burner. Immediately following is a burst of perspiration, which seeps out all over my body so I feel like a pin-pricked water balloon. There’s a reason they call it a hot flash. My friend’s husband leans in to hug me. As he wraps his arms around me, I wonder if it is better to hope that by some small miracle he doesn’t notice my back is now damp with sweat or to say something?...

“I’m back.” Now, Newton isn’t quite Michael Jordan, but on Sunday he reminded the world that he’s, in fact, back in the NFL and already scoring touchdowns for the Panthers. Early on in the Panthers-Cardinals matchup in Arizona, Newton entered the game in a goal-line package, and subsequently scored his first TD for Carolina since he was last on the squad in 2019.

The Netherlands international was snapped up by Spurs in 2016 on the back of a season which delivered 31 goals for AZ Alkmaar in all competitions. He never looked like repeating those heroics at White Hart Lane and ended his debut campaign in north London with just six efforts to his name. A failure to settle in the Premier League has sparked further transfer talk, but Janssen is reluctant to be drawn on what the summer holds for him....
