Want a job at McDonald’s? Just ask your smartphone.Starting Wednesday, McDonald’s Corp. will let job seekers start an application by using voice commands with Amazon’s Alexa or Google’s Assistant.If users say, “Alexa, help me get a job at McDonald’s,” Alexa will ask which country they want to work in and play McDonald’s catchy “I’m lovin’ it” jingle. After that, users can share their phone number and get a link to continue the application process. Alexa also shares some facts about working for the company, such as how it can lead to jobs in other fields.The function is available in the U.S., Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. McDonald’s is also exploring adding the feature in other markets. It’s not yet available through Apple’s Siri.The move is an unusual one. While some job recruitment companies have built voice-recognition systems on Google and Amazon’s platforms, but both companies say McDonald’s is the first direct employer to use its platform in this way. McDonald’s developed the technology itself.For McDonald’s, voice-initiated hiring is a way to stand out in a tight job market. The U.S. unemployment rate of 3.7% is near a 50-year low. Unemployment is also below 4% in the U.K. and Germany.McDonald’s employs 2 million people at 38,000 restaurants worldwide, and its needs are constantly changing based on turnover and seasonal demands. Over the summer, the Chicago-based company said it was hiring 250,000 people in the U.S. alone. McDonald’s is currently seeking 338 part-time crew workers in the New York area and 414 in Toronto, according to company hiring sites.Applications by voice — dubbed McDonald’s Apply Thru — are also part of a broader effort to use technology to streamline every part of the restaurant, said David Fairhurst, McDonald’s executive vice president and chief people officer. For customers, that means digital ordering kiosks and mobile ordering; for employees, it means online scheduling and virtual reality games to train store managers. 2049

Viewers of ESPNU this afternoon got quite a surprise when the entire 64-team bracket for this year's NCAA women's basketball tournament was accidentally revealed on screen, which quickly was spread on social media on Monday. Because of the error, ESPN and the NCAA moved up the official selection show from 7 p.m. ET to 5 p.m. ET. Whoops!This caused havoc for many teams already planning to gather with fans this evening to watch the selection show.ESPN released a statement Monday afternoon to explain the error. “In working with the NCAA to prepare for tonight’s Women’s Selection Special we received the bracket, similar to years past," the statement read. "In the midst of our preparation, the bracket was mistakenly posted on ESPNU. We deeply regret the error and extend our apology to the NCAA and the women’s basketball community. We will conduct a thorough review of our process to ensure it doesn’t happen in the future. We will now broadcast the full bracket at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN2, and the regularly-scheduled show on ESPN at 7 p.m.”As some learned at 3 p.m. ET on Monday, Louisville, Mississippi State, Baylor and the defending champion Notre Dame were declared the four No. 1 seeds for the tournament, which begins on Friday. 1250

When astronaut Scott Kelly was preparing to head to space for a year-long mission on the International Space Station in 2015, he immediately thought about his brother.“This was going to be unique for NASA,” Scott Kelly says in an interview from Space Center Houston. “The first U.S. crew member spending a year in space… maybe there was some value in taking advantage of the fact that…I had an identical twin brother.”His identical twin happens to be former astronaut Mark Kelly, who would be on earth during the same period of time. Scott saw potential to learn something.“I think as an astronaut we have an obligation to promote science, perform the science, to be engaged in science,” he says.The journal publication Science was very interested in the idea. All they needed now was a team of researchers for what would be known as the 850

Wednesday's 0 million Powerball drawing produced no winners, and the estimated jackpot for Saturday's drawing has increased to an estimated 5 million.That number will likely increase before Saturday's drawing takes place.According to Powerball's website, there was one person in South Carolina who matched five numbers plus the "power play" on Wednesday, winning million. Four people in Florida, Kentucky, New Jersey and South Carolina matched five numbers, winning million.A 5 million jackpot would be the seventh largest lottery drawing in US history. The largest Powerball jackpot of .59 billion took place in 2016. A winning ticket for the second-highest lottery drawing at .4 billion was sold in October. 741

Wearing a face covering in public is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Still, not everyone is wearing one. A new study offers some insight into why."In particular, just by looking around, it was quite obvious that maybe there were some gender differences," said Valerio Cabraro, a researcher with Middlesex University in London. Cabraro teamed up with the Mathematical Science Research Institute in Berkeley, California to survey roughly 2,500 people, half men and half women, about wearing a face covering out in public."We did find men are less likely than women to state that they wear a face covering anytime they leave the home, when engaged in essential activities and when around people outside the house," said Cabraro.When asked their reasons for not wearing a mask, a few answers stood out.The survey showed clear gender differences in the answers, with more men stating that wearing a face covering was shameful or a sign of weakness. "Wearing a face covering is a sign of weakness, wearing a face covering is shameful and the stigma associated with wearing a face covering is preventing me from wearing one," said Cabraro.The survey also found men are more likely than women to think they will not be affected by the coronavirus. Whether wearing a mask or not, psychologists say seeing other people out in public who are not wearing a mask can affect how safe you feel."I think there’s kind of a fear of individuals feeling vulnerable having a perception of being in fear by wearing a mask, that wearing a mask does for some people resemble I’m afraid, I’m vulnerable," said Dr. Apryl Alexander, a psychologist and associate professor at the University of Denver. Alexander says most people have spent the last 60 days at home, missing important events or milestones in their lives, and are eager to get back to normal. This desire to move on from this sense of loss can affect whether people feel inclined to wear a face covering while out in public. "If I see people not wearing masks, for me that communicates, ‘Do you care about my safety and my wellbeing and the safety of people here?’” said Alexander. “And then I think for some people they might think, ‘Well is it safe? Is this all blown out of proportion? Is the danger not really there, that this person feels comfortable not wearing a mask?’"Alexander says she hopes both men and women adhere to the CDC guidelines about wearing masks out in public and that the exhaustion they feel from having to quarantine doesn't give them a false sense of safety during this time. 2628
