It’s not the “glass ceiling” holding women back at work, new analysis finds

The struggle women face landing senior leadership roles in corporate America is commonly blamed on the "glass ceiling" — the metaphorical gender barrier that blocked their ascent to the highest levels of management. Yet new research indicates that the problems for women in the workforce begin far lower down the professional ladder.Women early in their careers are far more likely to stumble on a "broken rung," or failing to get a promotion out of their entry-level jobs at the same rate as men, according to a new study from consulting firm McKinsey & Co. and Lean In, the nonprofit started by former Meta Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg. For every 100 male employees promoted from entry-level jobs to managerial roles, only 87 women received a similar promotion, according to the rep...

Judge Blocks Provisions In North Carolina’s New Abortion Law, Nearly All Restrictions Still Remain

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A federal judge on Saturday blocked two portions of North Carolina’s new abortion law from taking effect while a lawsuit continues. But nearly all of the restrictions approved by the legislature this year, including a near-ban after 12 weeks of pregnancy, aren’t being specifically challenged and remain intact.U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles issued an order halting enforcement of a provision to require surgical abortions that occur after 12 weeks — those for cases of rape and incest, for example — be performed only in hospitals, not abortion clinics. That limitation would have otherwise taken effect on Sunday.And in the same preliminary injunction, Eagles extended beyond her temporary decision in June an order preventing enforcement of a rule that doctors must doc...

Extreme Heat Threatens the Health of Unborn Babies | WIRED

And hot weather may affect a baby’s development in other ways: A 2021 analysis found a higher incidence of anomalies, such as cardiac defects, spina bifida, or cleft lip, at higher temperatures. A 2019 study took existing research that linked heat exposure to congenital heart defects and extrapolated how many such cases we can expect in the coming years: The authors estimated that over an 11-year period, an additional 7,000 babies will be born with congenital heart defects in the eight US states they studied. According to Bonell, there’s also early evidence from animals that heat stress may be triggering epigenetic changes linked to long-term adult chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.And in the United States, any potential harm to a fetus brings with it other concerns.

Breaking down the 2023 Women’s World Cup purse, prize money – NBC New York

Teams at the Women’s World Cup are looking to collect more than just goals at the prestigious tournament. All eyes are on the record-breaking purse and it’s up for grabs. Thirty-two teams will compete for the prize money and while it's higher than ever before, it’s still less than what was awarded at the 2022 FIFA World Cup for the men. FIFA has said it’s aiming for equal prize money for men and women by the next World Cup cycle in 2026 and 2027. The 2023 World Cup also features a new payment structure that will see every player earn at least $30K and as much as $270K. But how much is the purse itself and how much can teams make per round as the progress throughout the tournament? Here we break it down: What is the 2023 Women’s World Cup purse?

Iron Deficiency Symptoms: Nearly 1 in 4 girls and young women have iron deficiency; here are early symptoms to spot and iron-rich foods to eat

According to the NHS UK, if your diet is partly causing your iron deficiency anemia, then increasing your intake of iron-rich foods can help. It is suggested you consume more dark-green leafy vegetables, fortified cereals and bread, meat, dried fruit like apricots, prunes and raisins, and pulses such as beans, peas and lentils.Further, reduce your consumption of tea, coffee, milk and dairy. Large amounts of these drinks may make it harder for your body to absorb iron.
