Query:

I'm working on an article for Supermajority News about
underrepresentation in clinical trials for the COVID-19 vaccine,

about the potential ramifications of a rushed vaccine and lack
of diversity in trials and what can be done legally &
legislatively to prevent this.

I'm interested in talking to a few different people with
experience in clinical trials:

-Any professional (doctor, pharmacist, etc) who is working on a
COVID-19 vaccine trial. (Particularly interested to speak to
someone involved in recruiting subjects for these trials)

-Any woman (especially BiWOC) who has participated in a COVID-19
vaccine trial.

DEMONSTRABLE attention to this issue. Don't send me lip service
about how this is "an important part of your platform" - show me
what you have DONE on a legal and legislative level to ensure
that these vaccines trials are equitable and inclusive (i.e.,
efforts for removal of the regulatory burden, lobbying for
additional research funds, efforts to ensure accountability).

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b3v2@helpareporter.net

Deadline: 11:00 AM EST - 5 August

To live below your means you must not spend more money than you
earn. If you spend less to the amount of money you make each
month from your job and other sources of income, you're below
your means. Living below your means may seem easy to do, but
people have been living beyond their means, either because of
poor budgeting or through no fault of their own (e.g. they
aren't being paid a living wage or other factors like
unemployment). Folks around the country are struggling to make
ends meet, especially this year, so living below your means
might be a way through to a better and more fortuitous 2021 and
beyond.

With that I have three very simple questions:

1. Why should people live below their means? 2. Are there any
suggestions you can offer someone who is looking to live below
their means? 3.To those people who are struggling to make ends
meet...those who are looking at the idea of living below their
means as a financial impossibility, do you have any suggestions
or words of advice for them to get on the road to financial
stability?

Requirements:

You must be a financial expert, accountant, financial planner,
or financial psychologist in order to be considered.

We're doing a story on how parents can pack a lunch that kids
will eat when they go back to school. What should (and
shouldn't) be in the lunchbox? What are some better-for-you
options that parents can put in the lunchbox that won't come
back at the end of the day? And should parents include their
kiddos in on the menu? How can doing so ensure that they'll eat
their food?

Please respond directly to jennifer@celebrityparentsmag.com with
the subject line Lunchbox. Please include your title and link to
your site. Thanks!

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

provide a custom night light, be hard-wired or powered via a
long-term battery (10 years battery lifespan), and more. This

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 10, 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

77) Summary: DERMATOLOGISTS AND TATTOO ARTISTS: How should we take care of new tattoos?

Name: Tracey Duncan Bustle

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b3ta@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 6 August

Query:

I am heavily tattooed. When I first started getting inked up, I
would meticulously care for each new piece of skin art, but over
the years, I've gotten a little laissez faire about it. I clean
a new tattoo about once a day, pat it dry, and rub some coconut
oil into it if it seems patchy. Otherwise, I just ignore it.
Honestly, I feel like the more I ignore a new tat, the quicker
it heals, but I'm not sure this is a doctor recommended
approach. I'd like to talk to tattoo artists and dermatologists
about what they think.

Here are my questions: 1. What are best practices for caring for
a new tattoo? 2. What do you think of my less-is-more approach?
3. Should different kinds of people (with different kinds of
skin types or conditions) take care of healing tattoos
differently? 4. Are there any products you specifically
recommend? 5. Are there any products you DO NOT recommend? 6.
What could happen if a tattoo heals badly? 7. How common are
badly healed tattoos in otherwise healthy folx? 8. Anything else?

Please reply directly to this post. Please do not add me to your
mailing list without explicit permission. Thank you!
