Query:
A lot of students are struggling with remote learning, but for

specialized learning programs can impede progress significantly.
I'm curious what resources parents are using for remote learning
and socializing for their special needs kids. Are there certain
platforms, or programs, or companies offering innovative
solutions attuned to people with disabilities? I'm interested in
resources for everything from speech delays and autism to more
severe motor disabilities.
Requirements:
Parent of student with special needs who is navigating remote
learning. Or company/program that is adapting to meet this need.
Or an expert on what a digital/remote program effectively

This is a challenging time for higher ed pro's. There have been
many layoffs/furloughs, and there stands to be more. Those who
are still employed tend to feel appreciative. But their work is
hard, whether they are operating remotely or reporting to
campus. In both cases, they are often picking up extra
responsibilities for colleagues whose positions have been
eliminated. We want to support those who have managed to retain
their positions, but are feeling stressed and guilty at work and
are experiencing a version of survivor's guilt. Seeking quotes
for these questions: 1. How might those who are experiencing
survivor's guilt in the workplace put their guilt/worry into
perspective? 2. What do they owe their employers and what don't
they owe their employers? Looking for a couple reminders to help
them re-center and focus themselves. 3. How can emloyees be
strategic about embracing the opportunity they have and not
becoming too emotionally weathered by this experience? 4. What
are a couple ways they can exercise good self-care at this time?
5. Anything else you'd like to say on this topic? 6. Your name,
title. I can also add a link. Thank you!

Query:
Hey HARO family,
I'm a Cointelegraph journo, currently working on a piece where
I'm analyzing why despite many countries like the UK, India, the
US, etc being faced with the prospect of an unparalleled
recession, crypto hasn't been able to surge as many had expected?
Looking to gain some insights in regard to the following
questions:
(i) Despite many powerhouse economies like the United Kingdom,
India, the United States either being in the midst of a
recession or on the verge of one, what are some of the factors
that have prevented bitcoin and other cryptos from breaking out
despite the economic conditions being so ripe? For example, even
folks like George Ball and Warren Buffet (among many others) are
speaking out against the instability of the USD.
(ii) Are the issues preventing crypto from surging linked to
things like a lack of market confidence, investors seeing more
value in precious metals, etc or due to the fact that people
still don't see merit in most crypto offerings available in the
market today? Would you care to share your insights on the
matter, please?
(iii) Even though BTC has failed to gain massive ground against
fiat, how have the top cryptos in the market fared against other
traditional market commodities - oil, stocks, precious metals,
etc? Would you be able to highlight some examples in this regard
(possibly even some statistical data for direct comparison)?
(iv) The performance of the USD dollar has continued to remain
quite strong despite the ongoing financial crisis. Is this is a
direct result of the recent money being printed by governments
all over the world? Also, many had predicted that the recent
stimulus packages would result in more and more money being
pumped into crypto - thus leading to another massive bull run?
Could you please comment on why this scenario did not come to
fruition?
(v) Please feel free to add any more data that you may see fit
as to why crypto did not rise and reach the masses as many all
over the world had imagined
For your time, we will be more than happy to add your name,
company details, etc in the piece. However, my editors do not
allow me to add any backlinks in the piece.
Requirements:
Comments should only come from crypto experts who have
previously been associated with the traditional finance market
or reputed analysts operating within the banking sector.
