Query:
Good afternoon!
My name is Emilia Paluszek and I'm writing from ETNT Health to
see if you'd consider contributing a quote in an article we're
writing called "What Your Urine Color Says About You."
ETNT Health is a content feed that provides simple,
science-based solutions for people who want to live a longer,
happier life. The stories appear on MSN.com--Microsoft's
homepage--resulting in a massive reach.
Our stories are generating millions of pageviews every month.
For a sample of a recent hit, see here:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/70-things-you-should-never-do-for-your-health/ss-AADKOI5
For my current piece, I'm asking doctors to provide an answer to
the following questions:
What does your urine color mean? How can you get it back to a
healthy/normal color?
We'd run your quote and your name and link back to your
website--or wherever you'd like.
We believe that it will improve the relationship between doctors
and patients and help patients get the most out of their time
with their doctors leading to improving their health. We'd love
to share your advice with our millions of readers looking for
expert health solutions. And if you'd consider being available
for future stories, do let me know. We have many more in the
works, and have so much respect for the work you do.
Thank you for considering.
All my best, Emilia Paluszek

Query:
With the pandemic forcing more people to work remotely, stay at
home or adjust their routines, there are many items we suddenly
find we need or want, but are limited in supply or sold out.
Examples: bicycles, portable air conditioners, air purifiers,
inflatable swimming pools. This story will look at things one
should buy now for winter, so you don't discover they are
unavailable. What are items that consumers will suddenly realize
they should get depending on where they live. For instance, if
you now walk or run and can't use your gym, you may want to look
into snowshoes or special "grips" for your running shoes. Same
for cyclists who may need special tires for winter riding. Maybe
space heaters for the home office? Or fit pits and heat lamps
for the patio (since many of us plan to use the patio more).
Looking for what would be on your "buy now" list and the
rationale behind why you think they will be popular.

Looking at IRS statistics on taxes by adjusted gross income
(AGI), there are some patterns. The many making $50K or less a
year contribute a single-digit percentage of total individual
taxes. The bulk (more than 40%) comes from those making $200K to
$500K. The very wealthy overall pay a percentage close to their
percentage of total AGI, and AGI doesn't necessarily reflect
full income. I'm looking for economists and tax experts
(accountants, lawyers, policy experts) who can help explain why
things work the way they do and the implications for individuals
and the country.

1. When are protests effective and when does it cross the line
into intimidation? This week, there were instances of D.C.
protesters harrassing white diners, demanding they raise their
fists in solidarity. In Appleton, Wis., there were reports of
intimidation, property damage and assault against people walking
the streets. 2. Do these incidents hurt a sympathetic cause? 3.
Is it playing into the hand of President Trump, whose party is
focusing on stoking fears of "lawlessness" and "mob rule"? 4. Is
it misleading to focus on harrassment and intimidation when
people are being hurt or killed by excessive police force, an
armed protester or people driving cars into demonstrations?
Requirements:
Looking for experts, academics, analysts on civil rights,
activist movements, protests. Also looking for law enforcement,
