Query:

Seeking women's health specialists -- ideally OBGYNs and IBCLCs
-- to discuss breast soreness *during pregnancy* for a piece
that will offer an overview of WHY this happens, along with
recommendations for alleviating discomfort.

1. What causes breast tenderness during pregnancy? What
physiological changes are happening? (Please describe everything
in simple, easy-to-understand terms as much as possible; touch
on all relevant issues at play like hormones, increased fat and
blood flow, etc.)

2. Can breast tenderness be an indicator or "sign" of pregnancy,
and if so, how soon after conception could it begin?

3. How long does this discomfort typically last? Is it most
common during a certain trimester?

4. What related changes are happening to the nipples, areolas
and veins of the breast? What sort of discomfort is expected?

5. What can pregnant people do to reduce discomfort? Looking for
ALL types of solutions here: (safe) OTC solutions, treatments
like warm compresses, changes to supplements or nutrition if
applicable, lifestyle tips (like wearing a supportive bra,
sleeping on side vs. stomach, etc.) and anything else that could
be helpful.

6. Are there any products you recommend that could help with
breast tenderness during pregnancy? For example, a balm/cream or
special compresses?

7. Did these questions spark any other thoughts or ideas that
you think would be relevant to share for this piece?

Requirements:

Must be a licensed health expert (ideally OBGYN or IBCLC).
Please send link to personal bio (ideally at the medical

2) Summary: You took accelerated payments. CMS isn't paying your practice claims. Now what?

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b343@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 3 August

Query:

CMS started giving out accelerated and advance payments in April
and distributed over $40 billion to providers who needed help
during the pandemic.

Now CMS says it's recouping that money -- by not paying current
claims.

Some practices may find themselves suddenly providing Medicare
and Medicaid service without payment -- and, thanks to the slow
recovery, they may not be ready for it.

What would you advise medical practices that are in the
predicament and *still* need help getting through?

Thanks, Roy Edroso Part B News https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

Requirements:

experts, especially those with experience with financially

Email: query-b347@helpareporter.net

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 3 August

Query:

The CMS Accelerated and Advance Payment program is recouping
tens of billions of dollars by stopping Medicare and Medicaid
payments to providers -- some of whom may not be ready to pay
back.

Medical organizations like the American Hospital Association and
the AMA are lobbying CMS to hold off on this recoupment.

Will that happen? Will Congress or CMS do something else to help
providers who aren't ready to pay back and need assistance?

Thanks, Roy Edroso Part B News https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

Looking for experts on U.S. health care policy and
legislation/regulation especially as it applies to COVID-19

4) Summary: Telehealth for deaf, ESL patients -- what do providers need to know/do?

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b34a@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 3 August

Query:

The pandemic has caused many medical practices to pivot to
telehealth or telemedicine -- but it has not relieved providers'
civil rights responsibilities to disabled patients as overseen
by HHS' OCR.

Telehealth may be a godsend to patients with mobility issues --
but what about patients for whom communication is itself an
issue?

Take deaf patients, some of whom may not be able to lip-read
over a video connection -- or who may not be able to use video
at all, and request telephone service modified for their needs.
What are the provider's best options?

And for patient for whom English is an issue -- can the tools
normally used by providers be optimized for telehealth, perhaps
by videoconferencing with a translator?

Thanks, Roy Edroso Part B News https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

Requirements:

Seeking experts in telehealth - telemedicine and the needs and
rights of disabled persons under federal health care programs.

Name: Ilana Kowarski U.S. News & World Report

Category: Education

Email: query-b3b7@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: U.S. News & World Report

Deadline: 2:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

I am expanding a story about the GRE by adding a section about
GRE subject tests. This is the story I will be expanding:

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/articles/what-the-gre-test-is-and-how-to-prepare

For the purposes of that slight content expansion, I am
interested in written responses to the following questions.
Please reply in writing, and please provide your full name and
whatever professional title you prefer. Also, please understand
that my editors do not permit promo links, so although I
understand why sources request them, I am not allowed to include
those links in stories.

1. How do GRE subject tests differ from the general GRE exam?
Given that each subject test concentrates on a specific subject,
how can future test-takers ensure that they know a subject well
enough to ace the associated subject test? How does taking a
content-based exam differ from taking a skill-based exam?

2. Under what circumstances is it necessary or advantageous for
a grad school applicant to take a subject test?

3. Do you have any tips to offer regarding how to prepare for
any of the GRE subject tests, which include tests in biology,
chemistry, math, physics, psychology and literature written in
English? Are any of these tests exceptionally challenging?

4. How much test prep time is typically necessary for a subject
test? Which test prep techniques would you recommend? How should
someone decide whether to study on their own or enroll in a prep
course?

Requirements:

GRE test prep tutors with experience preparing students for GRE
subject tests

Grad school admissions officials and faculty members associated
with a grad program that requires a GRE subject test

The responses should be in writing.

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 5 August

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin with The Mortgage Reports website
(www.themortgagereports.com). I'm looking to interview real
estate faculty, lenders, financial experts, Certified Mortgage
Planning Specialists, lenders/loan officers, property attorneys,
and other real estate experts (no real estate agents/brokers
please) for the following story:

How did homeownership spike to 12-year highs during coronavirus?
This story will explore reasons why homeownership spiked to a
12-year high during the first half of 2020 (read
http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/07282020_homeownership.asp for
details) and what happens next. Note that I can only accept
full-sentence written responses (which I can use as quotes) for
this article. My deadline for written answers to these questions
is noon central, Wednesday, August 5.

QUESTIONS: 1. Why has homeownership increased so much in recent
months, especially considering the pandemic? What factors are
behind this trend? 2. Looking closer at the Census report in the
linked article above, between 1997 and around 2005, it took
about eight years for the homeownership rate to go up
approximately four percentage points; yet in the first half of
2020, it took just a few months for the rate to go up around
three percentage points. Why? What happened here? 3. Why do you
believe individuals have decided to buy homes and increased
rates in the past few months? (e.g., low mortgage rates, new
work from home policies, etc.)? 4. What hidden factors might
also be behind the homeownership numbers spiking so high (e.g.,
foreclosure moratoriums, etc.)? 5. Where do you expect the
homeownership rate to land by the end of the year and into 2021
and why? What factors may have a significant effect on the
homeownership rate looking ahead? 6. Do you think homeownership
numbers will continue to rise for people who can afford to
purchase post-COVID-19? Any other predictions? 7. Any other
thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 8. What is your
full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?

67) Summary: Flood Risks Are Rising. Are Home Buyers More Cautious?

Name: Marilyn Kennedy Melia Real Estate Weekly/syndicated to newspapers

Category: General

Email: query-b3b6@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Real Estate Weekly/syndicated to newspapers

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

The past decade's steady flow of news reports of flooded homes
and desperate owners who don't have insurance is validated by
researchers. For instance, a recent report by non-profit First
Street Foundation finds 14.6 million properties qualify to be
designated by FEMA as in "flood hazard zones", defined as having
a one percent chance annually of flooding. The National Flood
Insurance Program, though only identifies 8.7 million properties
as in a hazard zone, but it doesn't dispute First Street's
findings, since government mapping can be outdated or not as
comprehensive. Given that flood risk is high-- not just in
coastal regions but in cities like Chicago where storm water
overflow and rivers widening causes flooding in non-hazard
zone-- are buyers doing more due diligence in researching flood
risk? Or, when buyers find a home they love, that they can
afford, does that largely over-ride flood risk?

Requirements:

I'm looking for comments from real estate agents, homeowner
insurance agents, representatives from homeowner advocacy
groups, and especially from home buyers themselves.

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 11:00 PM EST - 31 July

Query:

I'm working on an article for Bustle called "How Quarantine Led
To Glacial Relationships."

Unlike turbo relationships -- which move fast as a result of
quarantining together -- COVID has resulted in many "glacial
relationships."

These move slowly because couples can't see each other as often,
if at all. As a result, the relationship feels delayed, they
might put off plans to move in together, etc.

If you are a relationship therapist, please reach out!

1. Why has quarantine slowed down, or put a pause, on many
relationships?

2. What are some ways for couples to stay connected and keep
their relationships moving forward, even if they can't see each
other as much during quarantine?

Thanks!

Quarantine has caused many relationships to move at a "glacial"
pace because you're far apart. Perhaps you haven't seen each
other in a few months, don't see each other as often, had to put
off plans to move in together or meet each other's families, etc.

Questions: 1. What was your relationship like before quarantine?
What did you imagine 2020 would have in store for you?

2. In what was has quarantine slowed down your relationship?
(Has it prevented you from moving in together, seeing each
other, etc.) And what impact has that had?

3. How have you stayed in contact during quarantine? And what
are your plans for when it's over?

Thanks!

companies impacting the available supply to meet that demand?

--What particular cities, regions, or types of rental locations
(e.g. airports) around the U.S. have shown the highest demand
for rental cars? How are rental companies responding and
adapting to meet the rising demand in particular cities?

--What patterns or predictions do you foresee for the rental car
industry for the rest of 2020 in relation to virus cases,
seasonality, price changes, or other factors? For instance, air
travel saw an initial slump in the spring, followed by a slight
resurgence in early summer, then again another slump recently as
cases continued to rise in many states.

car for a leisure getaway in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic?
These are some thought-starters, but I'm open to any other tips
you may have! For example, booking directly with the company or
