Companies' Post-COVID Dilemma: Will the Rise of Remote Work Become a Permanent Pandemic Legacy?3/10/2021 When COVID-19 suddenly forced millions of Americans to work from home (WFH), employees and employers alike feared confusion, dislocation, and lost productivity. Instead, remote work proved to be one of the rare pandemic experiments that nearly all agree has gone better than expected. A year on, as vaccines finally put a return to the office within sight, companies are rushing to decide where WFH fits as a permanent part of their post pandemic strategy.

After nearly a month and a half of confusing limbo, former Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo finally resigned March 2 after she was sworn in as Joe Biden’s commerce secretary. Dan McKee was sworn in shortly after as governor and immediately signed an executive order pledging the “highest standards of integrity” in his administration. Now, for someone who has worked his way up Cumberland town council, to mayor, to lieutenant governor, the question now becomes, what does he stand for? Will he continue in lockstep what Raimondo pushed for, or break and create his own identity? Here’s our biggest expectations for governor McKee. Ryan L. Fox
Since 2001, the series Hard Knocks has been giving NFL fans what they wanted: an in-depth look on how an NFL team conducts operations both on the field during training camp, game day preparations, what it’s like being an NFL coach and GM, plus more. It’s unfiltered, uncensored, and best off all, it’s not staged. You can bask in the glory of players who perform well as well as feel the sting when they have to be released from the team. Over the years, we saw a multitude of teams go on Hard Knocks like the Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams, the New York Jets, and Dallas Cowboys to name a few. However, there are teams who have yet to make an appearance like the New England Patriots, the San Francisco 49ers, as well as many others. With the 2021 NFL Season approaching fast, there are teams that are getting floated out there who could be on Hard Knocks 2021. That being said, there are a few teams that yours truly wouldn’t mind watching them for this year’s edition of the show. State House, Providence – Rhode Island House Republicans submitted legislation to ensure proper checks and balances on the Governor’s powers during a declared State of Emergency. They also submitted a bill – Designated Support --to ensure safe, personal contact with loved ones in congregate care facilities. These measures address the gaping holes in our emergency statutes that have been exposed over the past year under a government by executive order, with scarce legislative involvement.
