Speaker 2: is quietly kicking the tires on the Republic's parliament speaker

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,240

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,080

Speaker 2: by some in the Trump administration as at least a

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,640

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,560

Speaker 2: cents nationwide, according to Triple A. In Massachusetts, the average

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: is three to seventy seven. That's up another three cents

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: overnight and almost twenty cents higher now compared to just

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,400

Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies say courts do not send notices through texts,

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: as well as links nor QR codes. Their advice is

36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: to delete report as junk and contact the court directly

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:10,239

Speaker 2: At this time, we're seeing partly cloudy skies in Boston

65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: thirty three degrees right now. It's actually the real field

66
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: temperature is still playing a role and we're stuck in

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: the upper teens, and that's because we've got a brisk

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: breeze blowing at around fifteen mile per hour gust this morning.

69
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: We'll see a mixture of clouds and sun throughout the day,

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: with developing more sunshine later on. Today. Hies will eventually

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: jump into the lower forties, but it'll be a chilly

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: breeze blow and partly cloudy in the thirties overnight tonight,

73
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,200

00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: highs in the lower fie fifties tomorrow with a mix

75
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: of sun and clouds. It's a mostly cloudy Thursday, with

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: highs approaching the middle sixties, and then we settle back

77
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: into the middle fifties with a shower around coming up

78
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: on Friday, right now thirty three, partly cloudy here in Boston,

79
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: six oh five on this Tuesday morning. It's your job

80
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: these days, on your terms.

81
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 5: It's an idea that's gained traction amongst some in the

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 5: nine to five crowd. Micro shifting a method upon which

83
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 5: employees alter their work schedule to allow time during the

84
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 5: day to attend to personal matters.

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: Interesting.

86
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 5: That's a good idea, especially for uber drivers, also known

87
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 5: as parents.

88
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 1: Catch up five.

89
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: Kids, take time off, take the kids to school and.

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: Pick them up, take them to a doctor's appointment.

91
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Essentially, you can break up your day around you one.

92
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: I like it.

93
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, different experts say in some cases it increases productivity

94
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 5: with intense periods of focused work. It's not for everybody.

95
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 4: There might be distractions.

96
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: I think people would be confused by that.

97
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 6: I don't think that would be helpful at all.

98
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 5: Chris Fohm at WBZ, Boston's news radio.

99
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: Another new study this morning finds once again that all

100
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: paychecks are not created equals.

101
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 6: Ayscale found women are still being paid less regardless of

102
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 6: education level, and the gap widens even more with age.

103
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 6: The company's Lulu Cycling.

104
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: Women earn eighty two cents for every dollar earned by

105
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 3: a man, which is down one cent from last year,

106
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: and that translates into a lot of money year over year,

107
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: about fourteen three hundred dollars less per year in median pay,

108
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: or more than one million dollars in lost earnings over

109
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: a forty year career.

110
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 6: And with roughly eighty million women in the workforce, that

111
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 6: translates into one point one trillion dollars in lost earnings

112
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 6: each year.

113
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: At CBS's Cammy McCormick, now, the number show over a

Speaker 2: a million dollars shorts compared to men. An already large

Speaker 2: full refund after foreign objects like glass particles are found inside.

121
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,919

Speaker 2: frozen fried rice and have since been expanded to include

123
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: more than thirty five million additional pounds of product, which

124
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,680
