Snow days, virtual opera: The office holiday party goes on

Office holiday parties are tricky in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. With dancing, drinking and fancy dinners a no-go because of virus concerns, companies are getting creative about their holiday office parties this year. Hire Space, a U.K event booking site, is organizing 70 virtual office parties in December, according to co-founder Edward Poland. The caution in the private sector contrasts with the White House, which has been hosting a series of indoor holiday celebrations. A statement released by the State Department said all events followed the department’s own “Diplomacy Strong” virus protocols.

Business owners upbeat about vaccine, wary as virus spreads

Promising news about a coronavirus vaccine has small business owners feeling more upbeat despite the virus's continuing spread. News about the vaccine has encouraged Ross, CEO of online educational company Test Prep Insight, to hold off on any major changes. The vaccine news gives the couple hope that Humble Travel in Cedar Falls, Iowa, will reach its 60th anniversary in 2021. “Having a vaccine for COVID-19 available makes a decision to keep Humble Travel open much more of a viable proposition,” he says. The vaccine news makes Cooke more optimistic about the future of the fledgling business, but also brings a new set of questions.

Burrow, Bengals hit road vs Browns on NFL's 100th birthday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (9) reacts after running for a touchdown during the first half of an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Sunday, Sept. 13, 2020, in Cincinnati. Outside, Burrow got lessons on Paul Brown, Jim Brown, Boomer Esiason, Bernie Kosar, The Ickey Shuffle and Dawg Pound. “In my eyes I played terrible through 3 1/2 quarters and then played up to my standards in the last drive and almost won the game,” Burrow said. RUN OVERThe Bengals significantly overhauled the NFL’s worst run defense of last season — 149 yards allowed per game —- and had a tough start against the Chargers, who ran for 155. Bengals coach Zac Taylor expects Bullock, who fully practiced on Tuesday, to handle kicking duties against the Browns.

Rural families without internet face tough choice on school

Barlow Mitchell sits outside the Lee County Public Library while using the public WIFI, in Beattyville, Ky., Wednesday, July 29, 2020. Andy Beshear said this week the state is exploring ways to expand internet access in hard-to-reach areas. Some teachers had to go into their classrooms to get internet access, despite recommendations that they stay home, according to Lee County School Superintendent Sarah Wasson. In an effort to accommodate those without reliable internet, students will submit their work periodically on USB drives. The lack of internet access often dovetails with and is likely to reinforce other inequalities.
