1) Summary: 5 Things For Total Outdoor Zen

Name: Carrie Havranek Nutritious Life

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b3c8@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Nutritious Life

Deadline: 8:00 AM EST - 3 August

Query:

This is a fun, tip-oriented piece on how to put together your
outdoor space, no matter how big or small. What colors? What
lights? What vibe? Practical advice is useful too--if you live
in a city and only have a balcony, how can you give it a moment
of Zen? If you live in close proximity to noise but have a front
porch, how can you use plants to screen/create privacy? How to
create your own little oasis in these trying times? And if
you've got a cool study about the rejuvenating benefits of
nature, time outside, creating a sanctuary no matter where you
live, we'd love more info.

Requirements:

Looking for people who work with products, companies,
mindfulness experts, wellness, design and green living.

2) Summary: Wellness Music: The Latest in Music Apps

Name: Carrie Havranek Nutritious Life

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b3c9@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Nutritious Life

Deadline: 8:00 AM EST - 3 August

Query:

New apps that pull your biometric, mood and situational data are
creating ever-evolving soundscapes designed to improve your
wellbeing. There is a growing scientific consensus that music
can and should be used as precision medicine. And within the
"wellness music" trend, one of the most fascinating sub-angles
is the rise of "generative" music apps and platforms that pull
your biological, brainwave and mood, and situational data to
create a custom-made-for-you, always-adapting "playlist"
designed to boost your wellbeing anytime you want to tune in.
With generative music, the "song" never remains the same.
Looking at things like Weav Run and Vibe; and looking for any
others that are similar.

Requirements:

Would llke to speak to tech, wellness and psychology experts
familiar with this technology and how it works, and how it can
affect the mind and body. Someone who can comment on the healing
quality of music would be great, too. App developers who have
launched products like Weav Run and Vibe are welcome; others we
haven't found yet, we'd like to hear from you

21) Summary: Herman Cain and the politics of a pandemic.

Name: Brian Krans Healthline

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b3ef@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Healthline

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

Hello.

I'm writing a piece for Healthline.com regarding the death of
Herman Cain. I'm looking for people to offer their opinions if
his death could change the way some people view COVID-19,
especially after bragging that there would be no masks at
Trump's rally in Tulsa.

He may not be the same as Rock Hudson and AIDS, but could Cain's
death, namely with social media and people getting their
information in bubbles, change people's minds? (Fox News, for
example, is hardly covering the death).

Perhaps maybe people will realize that if you are careless
during this pandemic that you can die.

So, what do you think? Will it have an impact, or will people
keep believing/doing what they've always done?

Perspectives in response to this query are much appreciated, as
I am on a tight deadline.
