I read most of Gallen’s mournful comedy aloud to my wife, and even with my mangled Irish brogue, we loved it. (Alas, I discovered too late the book’s online glossary, which would have helped me swear with these earthly characters.) But you don’t need me: Just listen to the audiobook of “Big Girl, Small Town” narrated by Nicola Coughlan, the comic genius who co-stars in the sitcom “Derry Girls.”

It was 8:30 p.m. on Friday night, and offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson had to make the most important play call of the 2020 Rutgers season — and, truth be told, probably his marriage. Run or pass? Not here, in a hospital delivery room. This was different. This was not a game.

Some of the electric vehicle startups that have gone public in 2020 have resembled business plans more than businesses, with years to go before having production models on the road, let alone profits to show for it. Many are great business plans no doubt, and that’s how companies are built. But not all investors are eager to bet on

If you’re a band releasing new music, do you plan a hometown release show, or maybe a two-week tour somewhere? Or do you do something else entirely?
In January, before the COVID pandemic hit Pennsylvania, members of the rock band Wallace started recording the first tracks of what would become “Grapefruit” – a series of music videos that interconnect with a film. The band, which features two members originally hailing from Lancaster, is now based

Even if you served in the military years ago, you may be eligible for valuable grants or interest-free loans for veterans — and not even know it. This year, special funds have been expanded to help vets and their families deal with COVID-related financial challenges.
These programs, from military aid societies and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), can provide thousands of dollars to certain veterans and their families for emergency expenses, college scholarships,

KYOTO, Japan — Naomi Hasegawa’s family sells toasted mochi out of a small, cedar-timbered shop next to a rambling old shrine in Kyoto. The family started the business to provide refreshments to weary travelers coming from across Japan to pray for pandemic relief — in the year 1000.
Now, more than a millennium later, a new disease has devastated the economy in the ancient capital, as its once reliable stream of tourists has evaporated. But
Acorns and Robinhood are online investment tools both geared toward younger, newer investors, but they are still quite distinct. Acorns is a robo-advisor tool that helps people invest by automatically skimming the spare change off their digital purchases. This overage is then invested according to the platform’s algorithms and recommendations, and the result is a set-it-and-forget-it portfolio. Robinhood is a streamlined platform designed to make investing as easy and comprehensible as possible.

“If you lived under intimidation and threats constantly, you know, what would you do? I think Elizabeth turned inside and survived,” Ed told Katie Couric on Dateline in October 2003 during the family’s first TV sit-down since Elizabeth came home. Every network had been angling for the big interview, and NBC got it as part of a package deal with Doubleday, which was publishing the Smarts’ book. (CBS, however, aired the first TV movie, The
Dua Lipa’s Thanksgiving-weekend Studio 2054 livestream was a smashing success: It drew five million viewers — a number that Lipa’s team says is a new record for livestreams — and brought a starry guest list that included Kylie Minogue and Elton John. Fans can definitely expect more livestreams from Lipa, her management team tells Rolling Stone.
But on a broader scale, Lipa’s show was also a highly successful guinea-pig case for the music business, which
‘Tis the season for shopping, and between Black Friday to Cyber Monday, we’ve scooped up amazing deals on toys, kitchen goods, fashions, and more. But there’s more to the season than just buying presents. That’s the idea behind Giving Tuesday, a holiday that falls on the Tuesday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

My grandparents, Dub and Millie Fuller, both came from large white families, neither of whom had much money between them.

ANTIOCH, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition is opening a new community center in southeast Nashville.
According to the executive director of TIRRC, the nonprofit chose Antioch for the hub and neighborhood meeting space because the area is under-served.
“Of all the neighborhoods in Nashville, Antioch has fewer nonprofits, fewer green spaces and fewer art exhibitions or spaces,” said Lisa Sherman Nikolaus.
