Hi there! I'm looking for U.S. gardening/home and/or history
experts who can share some thoughts on the proposed White House
renovation to the rose garden.
Please send me responses via email. Some thought-starter
questions: What do you think of these proposed changes? Is it
time for an update to the rose garden? Could you share some
guesses as to what current garden trends the White House might
incorporate? Does the rose garden have the power to shape
gardening trends itself? Could we see other gardens follow suit
or make similar changes? What changes would you like to see
incorporated?

they think about home design/renovation/updates? What power or
significance do outdoor spaces play in our everyday lives and
how we feel? What lesson can regular homeowners learn from White
House renovations, design choices, etc.

Hello. My name is Erik Martin and I am a reporter for HomeStyle,
a nationally syndicated home improvement/design section
published weekly in newspapers across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview interior designers, contractors, appliance experts,
remodelers, real estate brokers/agents, and other experts for
the following story:
Latitudinal laundry: Lack space? Get a stacked washer/dryer or
combo unit. This article will explore the pros and cons of
buying and using either a stacked washer/dryer set or a
combination unit (the latter which washes and dries the clothes
in the same appliance), which can save precious floor space and
make it more efficient. Below is a list of questions I'm seeking
answers to. I can only accept written responses via email. My
deadline is noon central, Monday, August 3, 2020.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it a smart idea to opt for a stacked
washer/dryer pair or an all-in-one combo unit, especially if you
lack the space? 2. Who is a good candidate for either option,
and why? 3. If the reader is a renter, what will they need to do
first (e.g., get permission from the landlord, determine how and
where the unit(s) can be placed, etc.)? 4. What are the pros and
cons of a stacked washer/dryer pair (stacked meaning one unit
stacks atop the other to save space)? What is the typical price
range for this option? 5. What are the pros and cons of a combo
unit that includes washing and drying features in one appliance?
What is the typical price range for this option? 6. What are the
challenges involved in hooking up/installing and in using either
of these options? 7. Which option do you prefer here and why? 8.
What are some things to consider carefully before committing
to/purchasing/installing a stacked pair or combo appliance? 9.
Any other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this topic? 10. What
is your full name, title, company, city/state location, and
email address?

Hello. My name is Erik Martin and I am a reporter for HomeStyle,
a nationally syndicated home improvement/design section
published weekly in newspapers across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview fire safety experts, interior designers, contractors,
remodelers, real estate brokers/agents, and other experts for
the following story:
Where there's smoke, there's smart: Why a smart smoke and carbon
monoxide detector is essential for your home. Conventional smoke
and/or carbon monoxide detectors are crucial for keeping you and
your family safe. But the latest versions of these devices
(including Nest Protect, First Alert ZSmoke, and others) are
much smarter; they can speak to you, send alerts to your phone,
provide a custom night light, be hard-wired or powered via a
long-term battery (10 years battery lifespan), and more. This
story will explain the latest features and technology and how
these smart detectors greatly improve upon typical detectors,
where and how they are best installed, what you'll pay, and
tips/insights from experts. Below is a list of questions I'm
seeking answers to. I can only accept written responses via
email. My deadline is noon central, Monday, August 3, 2020.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it a smart idea to upgrade your older smoke
detector and carbon monoxide detector for ones with smart
features? 2. Can you name some of the latest/most popular smart
smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and alarms (brands/models)? 3.
What are some of the latest and most in-demand features found in
smart smoke alarms and smart carbon monoxide detectors (such as
Nest Protect, First Alert ZSmoke, etc.), especially features not
found in conventional units? 4. How are these smart devices
typically powered and best installed (best locations)? 5. Do
these smart devices last longer (expected lifespan, battery
replacement time, etc.)? 6. How much do these smart devices run
(give a price range)? 7. Who are good candidates for upgrades to
smart smoke/carbon monoxide detectors? Why are these smart
device upgrades worth it? 8. What are the minimum requirements
(e.g., strong home Wi-Fi, must use an app, etc.)? 9. What are
some things to consider carefully before committing
to/purchasing/installing a smart detector/alarm? 10. Any other
thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this topic? 11. What is your
full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?

Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter with CTW
Features. We will be publishing a nationally syndicated special
section called "Holiday Gift Guide" in late fall that will
publish in newspapers and websites across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for past syndicated content
samples from CTW Features). For one of the stories running in
this section, I'm looking to interview toy store
experts/merchants, retail consultants, consumer product
analysts/experts, holiday gift experts, online retail
professionals, and others for the following story:
How to shop for kids' gifts now that the traditional toy store
is extinct. Toys 'R Us and other similar brick-and-mortar
retailers have closed up shop. So how can you best locate and
purchase worthy gifts for youngsters these days? This article
will provide tips for online toy shopping and suggest major
brick-and-mortar retailers that still carry a good supply of
toys in their stores; plus, recommendations for how to reduce
giver regret (e.g., always get and include a gift receipt,
consider a gift card instead, etc.) I can only accept
full-sentence written responses (via email) that I can use as
quotes. My deadline is noon central, Tuesday, August 4.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why have all the brick and mortar toy stores
disappeared? What factors are behind this trend? 2. How does
this make it tricky or more challenging for adults to buy kids
toys and presents around the holidays, considering there aren't
any real toy stores to visit any longer? 3. Where are toys being
bought now instead? Name some (a) brick and mortar chains that
offer a good selection of toys and (b) online stores that also
offer a good variety of toys 4. How do you recommend shopping
for kids toys this holiday season? What detailed tips do you
suggest, especially if you prefer to see and touch the product
in person but may not be able to due to lack of toy stores? 5.
What tips do you recommend to help clueless adults buy the right
toy/kids gift, especially if they really don't know how or what
to buy for a particular child (blind buying)? 6. What tips do
you recommend to reduce gift giver and receiver regret (e.g.,
always include a gift receipt in the box/package, give the child
a plastic or e-gift card instead that they can use to buy toys
online or in a store, etc.)? 7. Any other thoughts, tips, or
suggestions on this topic? 8. What is your full name, title,
company, city/state location, and email address?

We are working on a story based on a recent survey conducted by
a cultural anthropologist that found quarantine and the
COVID-life that has followed has strengthened relationships
between mothers and daughters.
In writing about this survey, we would love to include the
perspectives of family therapists, relationships experts, and
other cultural anthropologists who can answer the following
questions:
1. The survey found that family relationships were strengthened
across the board, but none so much as mother/daughter
relationships - why might that be?
2. What about a time of international turmoil might bring
mothers and daughter's closer together?
3. What are the chances these shifts will persist long-term?
4. How can mother's and daughter's continue to nurture their
relationships, even as life slowly returns to "normal?"
5. Is there anything else you think our readers should know on
this subject?

With all the talk of kids going back to school and people
debating how vulnerable they are/aren't to the pandemic, we'd
like to help parents out with a straightforward explainer on how

(From toddlers to teens.)
I would love to hear from pediatricians, child development
specialists, and child therapists who can provide examples of
how to best approach the mask conversation (so that kids might
actually be willing to wear them) for children in the following
age ranges:

Ages 5 and 6 (early education):
Ages 7 to 10 (elementary):
Ages 11 to 13 (middle school):
Ages 14 to 18 (teenagers):
