Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b16m@helpareporter.net

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 20 July

Query:

Doctors often made amendments to their notes, and sometimes they
will have forgotten to note time when notating a time-based

later.

Some take this to unseemly lengths -- adding time as a matter of
course, or making changes long after the service, when the
provider's memory may not be accurate.

When do such amendment become a problem that, if picked up by
auditors, might leads to denials, takebacks, or worse?

Query:

I'm looking to interview a psychologist, psychiatrist or mental
health expert about the mental health benefits of travel.

My questions are below:

1. Traveling is often seen as an indulgence or a luxury. But for
many (myself included), traveling always seemed to help make me
feel better. What are the mental health benefits of traveling,
be it just a day trip, a road trip or a longer vacation? 2. What
are some ways to maximize the benefits of getting away from your
daily routine/home and get a mental health break too? 3.
COVID-19 has prevented us from traveling domestically and
internationally. Even short overnights or daytrips to the
beach/nature bring risk. Why is being locked at home and unable
to travel having such an impact on our mental health? 4. Is it
possible to draw any similar mental health benefits from a
staycation? If so, what would your advice be for someone looking
to have a stay-cation at home? 5. Camping has been seen as a
fairly low-risk way of vacationing -- plus it's in nature. Do
you think camping could help with mental health?

Requirements:

Must be a mental health expert.

Media Outlet: One Million by One Million

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 20 July

Query:

Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting companies with at least $5 million in annual
revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are interested
in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is willing to
discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and process of
company building, spanning topics such as bootstrapping,
financing, positioning, customer acquisition, channels, team
building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue level, industry
(Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile,
Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming,
Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the story
angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.

Requirements:

When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.

Articles we develop through these interviews often get
repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs) and among the top 100 influencers on
the topic of cloud computing. Indicate in your pitch the revenue
level, as we use this as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. Please also provide the story
angle, talking points, etc., so we can gauge what is the thought
leadership point of view we will be highlighting in the series.
Our audience is extremely sophisticated, so the conversation
needs to be equally interesting. Sramana Mitra was also named as
one of the top 10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015

cybersecurity 2) How to communicate the importance of security
measures such as multifactor authentication 3) How HR can work
with IT to secure employee personal devices

Query:

Remember the begnning of the pandemic when we all thought there
was going to be a massive baby boom? If you know anyone who
lives with a sexual partner, you have probably heard that a lot
of people are experiencing really low libidos right now. A new
study by Justin Lehmiller (my fave sex researcher) looked at the
frequency and kinds of sexual expierences folks are having right
now, and what he and his team found is really interesting:
people might be having less sex, but they're being more creative
about it. I would like to talk to people who are having creative
sex and sex therapists about why this might be happening.

Here are my questions: 1. If you are a layperson, what is your
name, age, profession, and location? If you are a psychologist,
what is your name, location, title, and academic affiliation?
2. Laypeople, how's your libido? Psychologists, what's going on
with our libidos? 3. Laypeople, are you having more creative sex
right now? Psychs, why might this be happening? Laypeople, why
do you think it's happening? 4. Laypeople, tell me your sexy
story in a SFW way. Psychs, how can we get creative in this
moment? 5. Anything else?

Please reply directly to this post. Please do not add me to your
list and PR folks, I love y'all, but I need the answers right
here and will only respond to inquiries about connecting me off
HARO for a really spot on source. Thank you.

Requirements:
