The watchdog said it was also a well-established stereotype that women were not skilled at using technology and the sentence "We'll do the SEO thing" was likely to be understood to mean that female "bosses" in particular needed outside help with IT matters.

The app has been downloaded more than 300 million times worldwide and is available in more than 30 languages.

The Devils are also heading into a pivotal stretch of play, albeit with the math clearly on their side. New Jersey is four points behind the first-place Carolina Hurricanes in the Metropolitan Division and on its way to making the playoffs for the first time since the spring of 2018 and just the second time since reaching the Stanley Cup Final in 2012.

"The third period -- it was right there, except we made a couple big mistakes we haven't made," Devils coach Lindy Ruff said.
"With five minutes left, the other team should have to earn the opportunity.

tech giants and start-ups have in recent months attracted intense regulatory scrutiny on both sides of the Atlantic amid worries that some deals may be killer acquisitions where the goal is to shut down nascent rivals.

BRUSSELS, March 22 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google is set to gain unconditional EU antitrust clearance for its acquisition of Croatian maths app Photomath, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

They acknowledged that the "execution might unintentionally come across as sexist and demeaning to women" but said they had taken steps to rectify this by removing the word "girl" from the ad and issuing a public apology on their website.

The Capitals will look to begin crawling back into the playoff picture when they host the New Jersey Devils in the first of four straight games against teams ahead of them in the Eastern Conference wild card race.

The loss was the eighth in the last 11 games (3-8-0) for the Capitals, who have gone 10-15-1 since Jan. 1 to fall into a tie for 10th place in the Eastern Conference entering Wednesday with the Buffalo Sabres and Ottawa Senators.

A television ad for computer firm PC Specialist which featured only men and a poster ad for People Per Hour stating "You do the girl boss thing" have been banned for perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes.

While the Senators and Sabres made moves to bolster their rosters at the trade deadline, the Capitals -- who have made the playoffs in each of the last eight seasons, tied with the Nashville Predators for the second-longest active streak in the NHL behind the Penguins -- made six deals in which they traded six veterans and acquired six draft picks.

Some eight viewers complained that the ad perpetuated harmful gender stereotypes by depicting men in roles that were stereotypically male and implying that it was only men who were interested in technology and computers.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the ad repeatedly cut to images of only men, who were both prominent and central to the ad's message of opportunity and excellence across multiple desirable career paths.

The ad for PC Specialist, a manufacturer and seller of bespoke PC computers, featured three men performing different activities including producing music and coding with a male voice-over which stated: "For the players, the gamers, the ‘I'll sleep laters', the creators, the editors, the music makers. The techies, the coders, reading programs homeschool the illustrators … From the specialists for the specialists."

The ASA said it was a well-established stereotype that men were more suited to positions of authority in the business world than women, and said that using the term "girl boss" implied that the gender of the person depicted was relevant to their performance in a managerial or entrepreneurial role.

The poster ad for PeoplePerHour, an online platform giving businesses access to freelancers, seen on the London Underground in November, featured an image of a woman and the text: "You do the girl boss thing. We'll do the SEO thing," referring to search engine optimisation.

The ASA said 19 people complained that the ad perpetuated harmful gender stereotypes by depicting a woman running a business in a patronising way and by implying that women were not technologically skilled.
