Thierry Small scored against his old club as Preston beat Charlton 2-0 in the Sky Bet Championship.The 21-year-old was getting token jeers from the away following and he responded with a deflected opener in the 67th minute.

Jeremy Ngakia scored two goals in as many first-half minutes to hand Watford another comeback victory as they edged a 2-1 Championship win at home to Oxford.A double from Ngakia – thanks to two blunders from Oxford goalkeeper Jamie Cumming – cancelled out a Max Alleyne own goal, as they went a goal behind for the fourth time in their last six games.

Zak Sturge’s first goal for Millwall capped a 3-0 victory over West Brom in the Sky Bet Championship that put their midweek hiding at the hands of Coventry behind them.Lions boss Alex Neil made seven changes in response to his side’s third home loss in four games on Wednesday and what he got from his new-look line-up was a vastly improved showing in both boxes. Captain Jake Cooper lifted the mood with his first-half opener and after Femi Azeez’s stunning strike doubled their advantage, former Chelsea youngster Sturge rifled in as West Brom were beaten for just the second time…

For Dawon Matthews, pursuing entrepreneurship has always been a “no brainer.”After he was charged with a felony at age 19, Matthews couldn’t find a job in the corporate world, so he decided to carve his own path, he says.”Once they see a felony behind a person they don’t even care about what credentials you got.

When most people prepare for a newborn, they’re focused on baby names, sleep routines, and diapers. As a child life specialist, therapist, and mom of two, I did one other thing early on: I created an email address for each of my kids and started writing to them long before they’d be able to read any of my messages. It’s a time capsule, and one day, they’ll be glad it exists.It was practical to secure email addresses using their names before they were taken. But I also knew the deeper value. Having worked with families facing illness, grief, and loss,…
