For GOBankingRates, usually syndicated with Yahoo Finance, I am
writing a piece about holiday splurges that financial experts
approve. Looking for 4-6 total splurges that would be
considered OK in the short-term for the holiday season. For
example, can an expert justify spending the money on a pumpkin
spice latte a few times a week? What about buying gifts for
others they have not been able to see, or spending more on
streaming services as the pandemic rages on? What's worth the
"splurge" and why?
I know that to an extent the presiding logic is that you should
buy something only if you can afford it in cash and if it will
fulfill a need (or some such), but I do need to highlight
specific categories and types of purchases. I am rounding up 7
items/types of items. Please submit a full quote/paragraph or
more with your full title, a hyperlink to your website, your

Query:
Feature: Growing While Remote Expanded remote work is here to
stay. Even though businesses are starting to cautiously reopen
offices, the benefits of remote work to businesses -- lower
costs, happier and possibly more productive employees and the
ability to recruit talent everywhere -- are too great for
businesses to ignore. But transitioning existing employees to
home offices is one thing; onboarding new employees who will
work remotely from the start is another. These workers need to
be trained and incorporated into office culture, even as they
also need company-issued endpoints. How can tech help
organizations grow in virtual environments? What about hybrid
environments where entire workforces might be in the office
part-time on different days? What are the tech-management
considerations of long-term remote-work and hybrid environments?
Businesses need equipment -- endpoints, collaboration tech and
security -- but they also need to think about how these
technologies might be used differently than before.
Requirements:
I'm looking to speak with IT sources at U.S.-based nonprofits
about how tech has helped support their organizations' growth
during the time of remote work. The tech can be almost anything
(datacenter infrastructure, user devices, networking refreshes).
We're not really looking to highlight small, standalone software
offerings, although we could feature big collaboration techs
like Zoom, Webex, and Teams.
I'm happy to have vendors put me in touch with sources, but
please note that I can NOT user quotes from vendors,
aggregators, or IT consultants in this article. I also cannot
feature organizations in healthcare, education, or government.
Thanks!

19) Summary: Law school application increases: What should J.D. hopefuls make of this?Name: Ilana Kowarski U.S. News & World Report
Category: EducationEmail: query-bml0@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: U.S. News & World Report
Deadline: 2:00 PM EST - 3 December
Query:
LSAC data reveals that the number of J.D. applicants is more
than 30% higher now than it was at this point in 2019. Why is
this happening? Are people simply applying earlier this cycle
than usual, or is there likely to be an overall surge in demand
for spots at law schools? If this is a surge, what are the
primary causes? Is it the economic downturn and the increase in
news stories about law given the large amount of Supreme Court
stories this year? Are there any other factors behind this? Is
there something making people more interested in the legal
profession?
Is this admissions cycle progressing differently or at a
different rate because of COVID? How much do the numbers mean?
What should J.D. hopefuls do now?
Should law school hopefuls be applying to more safety schools
and a higher number of schools than usual?
Would it be a good idea to wait to apply until a less
competitive admissions cycle when you might get into a better
law school?
How can a J.D. applicant who is determined to apply this year
optimize his or her admissions chances despite the rise in
overall competitiveness?
Who, if anyone is more likely to apply now than in the past? Is
it nontraditional applicants such as those who are older and
pursuing a second career, is it recent college graduates who are
having trouble finding post-college employment, or is it a
combination of these two groups?
Requirements:
Law school admissions officers and admissions deans

Hi, there!
I hope this note finds you well. I'm a health reporter for
Refinery29, and I'm working on a story about "happiness guilt."
It's been a challenging year for many, so having good news
(whether it's a promotion, engagement, baby, etc.) can feel
great, but also potentially prompt feelings of guilt (especially
when it comes to sharing news with our friends). I'm hoping to
talk with people who've gotten good news and experienced this
feeling this year. I'll ask questions about what prompted this
feeling, and how you got through it. I'll handle your story with
care.
Thanks kindly in advance for your time and help!
Warm regards, Molly

I am writing about spam messages that reference Covid-19 in

offer cures, warnings about the need for a test, or special
offers" and that consumers should not click on links in texts
related to the virus. What are recent examples of Covid-themed
spam? What is the damage from these emails and texts? What can
people do to spot Covid-19 spam and avoid infection? What
solutions are working now? I prefer security experts and sources
close to the issue to comment for this article. Security experts
