Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 9:00 AM CST - 7 September

Query:

he other day, an old friend, who is also a recovering addict,
called. He sounded manic. "I've been smoking pot," he said, "and
it's the best thing that ever happened to me." I had no idea how
to respond. This is a person who had been sober for decades and
who had helped me get clean. I don't know whether him smoking
weed is a cry for help or a healthy enough coping strategy? I've
never been a fan of abstinence-only addiction recovery, but I
also know that harm reduction can be a slippery slope if it
isn't monitored. What does harm reduction mean right now and is
it changing? I would like to talk about whether marijuana has a
role to play in helping people recover from addiction to other
substances or process addictions.

NOTE: This is very similar to a recent pitch I made.The
difference is that the focus has changed to what role weed can
play in recovery.

Here are my Qs: 1. Is there benefit to using marijuana to help
recover from other kinds of addictions? 2. What are the risks?
3. Have you seen any research or do you have any anecdotal
evidence about whether weed is more helpful or harmful to folks
struggling with other addictions? 4. What do you think,
generally, of smoking or ingesting marijuana as a harm reduction
strategy? 5. Anything else?

forehead eyerolling. Must we milk everything? I'd like to talk
to an RD about the non-animal milk situation and which, if any,
are actually healthy.

Here are my questions: 1. What are the health benefits of using
non-dairy milks? 2. Is one better than others, nutritionally
speaking? 3. Are there any that are bad for us? 4. Other
thoughts?

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 12:00 PM CST - 7 September

Query:

There were zillions articles about "boosting your immunity" at
the beginning of the pandemic. I think we all know there's no
shortcut to this -- no chugging vitamin C, etc. That doesn't
work. We can, however, start to build better habits now, a few
months before flu season and a potential coronavirus wave. I
would like to talk to a medical doctor about what we can do to
stay healthy.

Here are my questions: 1. What habits are most important in
keeping our immune systems in proper working order? 2. What
habits would you recommend that people take up now in order to
be in the best possible shape for flu season? 3. I am pretty
sure that "immune boosting" is a marketing term. Am I wrong? Are
there supplements or practices that boost the immune system? 4.
If you could make all of your patients develop three healthy
habits that are most effective in insuring immune function, what
would they be? 5. Anything else

9) Summary: Study shows blood pressure reducing drugs do not increase risk of cancer

Name: Moira McCarthy Healthline Media

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b89y@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Healthline Media

Deadline: 3:00 PM EST - 6 September

Query:

Looking for a quick quote from a Cancer expert on this (I'll
link some info below) -- I want to ask you:

--Why was there a suspected link for so long --Is this good news
for those MD's fighting cancer? --Overall -- what does this
study mean to you?

here is a press release on it:

There is no evidence that blood pressure lowering drugs increase
the risk of cancer, according to the most extensive study
conducted on the topic. The late breaking research is presented
today at ESC Congress 2020.1

"Our results should reassure the public about the safety of
antihypertensive drugs with respect to cancer, which is of
paramount importance given their proven benefit for protecting
against heart attacks and strokes," said study author Ms. Emma
Copland, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, UK.

A potential link between blood pressure drugs and cancer has
been debated for more than 40 years. The evidence for an
increased or decreased risk of cancer with the use of
antihypertensive medication has been inconsistent and
conflicting.

This was the largest study on cancer outcomes in participants of
randomised trials investigating antihypertensive medication -
around 260,000 people in 31 trials. Investigators of all trials
were asked for information on which participants developed
cancer. Much of this information has not been published before,
making the current analysis the most detailed yet.

Five antihypertensive drug classes were investigated separately:
angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II
receptor blockers (ARBs), beta blockers, calcium channel
blockers (CCBs), and diuretics.

The investigators estimated the effect of each drug class on the
risk of developing any type of cancer, of dying from cancer, and
of developing breast, colorectal, lung, prostate and skin
cancers. They also examined whether there were any differences
according to age, gender, body size, smoking status and previous
antihypertensive medication use before taking part in the trial.

During an average of four years, there were around 15,000 new
diagnoses of cancer. The researchers found no evidence that the
use of any antihypertensive drug class increased the risk of
cancer. This finding was consistent regardless of age, gender,
body size, smoking status and previous antihypertensive
medication use.

Each drug class was compared against all other control groups,
including placebo, standard treatment and other drug classes.

There was no important effect of any individual drug class on
overall cancer risk. The hazard ratio (HR) for any cancer was
0.99 (95% confidence interval [CI]]) 0.94-1.04) with ACE
inhibitors, 0.97 (95% CI 0.93-1.02) with ARBs, 0.98 (95% CI
0.89-1.08) with beta blockers, 1.06 (95% CI 1.01-1.11) with CCBs
and 1.01 (95% CI 0.95-1.07) with diuretics. In statistical
terms, these effect sizes were not significantly different from
each other, so there was no evidence of an increased risk of
cancer with any of the drug classes.

Similarly, there was no evidence that any type of
antihypertensive medication had an effect on the probability of
developing breast, colorectal, lung, prostate or skin cancer.

When participants were followed throughout the course of each
trial, there was no indication that the risk of cancer increased
with longer duration of use of these treatments.

Ms. Copland said: "Our study has addressed an ongoing
controversy about whether antihypertensive medication increases
the risk of developing cancer. We used the largest
individual-level randomised evidence on antihypertensive
medication to date and provide evidence for the safety of blood
pressure lowering drugs in relation to cancer."

Name: Brian O'Connell SHRM.org

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b85o@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: SHRM.org

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 7 September

Query:

A new study shows that 33% of U.S. employees don't what's
expected from them at work, leading to less engaged and less
productive workers.

It's up to managers to set the stage for a worker's production
and perfomance - but that isn't easy. In this story for SMRH/HR
Magazine, we're providing tips to show how managers can clear a
path to performance and set solid expectations from team members.

We'd like to answer these queries in the story:

1. How important is it in the managerial hierarchy to set
expectations from company team members? What are the benefits
and what are the drawbacks of not doing so?

2. How can managers create and manage a system where employee
expectations are set and where staffers follow the script?

3. What are the best tips for managers in setting employee
expectations and why do they work so well?

4. What are the biggest mistakes managers make when trying to
set up reliable and quantifiable systems of performance
expectations?

5. Any personal stories from managers who have successfully set
up team member expectations? What were your big lessons learned?
And what would you do over again?

All comments welcome. Thank you.

Requirements:

Office managers, management execs, business owners, workplace
managers, management experts, HR experts, leadership experts,
managers who have set up employee expectation campaigns.

16) Summary: Five Signs You're a Horrible Boss

Name: Brian O'Connell SHRM.org

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b85z@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: SHRM.org

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 7 September

Query:

A recent study shows that 42% of staffers have "quit their job"
over a horrible boss.

That scenario leads not only to a loss of talent, but also
higher recruiting and training costs, and potential dissent from
those employees left behind. To nip that issue in the bud,
managers should self-evaluate and see if they carry any of the
following signs of a "horrible boss."

This story is fairly straightforward. We're trying to identify
the major red flags that signal a manager is failing to persuade
and lead his or her team - and how to fix the problem before
talent leaves the company - or the manager leaves.

We'd like to answer these questions:

1. How big a problem is a failing boss in the workplace? What is
the fallout - examples, please.

2. What are the major signs of a horrible boss from the
employee's POV? What sticks out the most - and what sticks in
the craw of frustrated workers?

3. What's the difference between a disgruntled worker taking
his/her job frustration out on a manager and a legit worker with
a legit complaint on a manager's weak points? In other words,
how can company decision makers truly understand they have a
horrible boss problem when employees bring it up?

4. What are the necessary steps a manager can take when
confronted with the real evidence that he or she is failing the
team and alienating workers? What are the best steps going
forward?

5. iI it possible for a bad boss to reclaim the respect of team
members and the C-Suite, or is a horrible boss scenario enough
to have the manager leave the company and instill new management?

6. We love personal stories of working with or being a horrible
boss, if you're up to it. Personal stories tend to stick in
these pieces.

All comments appreciated. Thank you.

Requirements:

managers and bosses, workplace experts, HR experts,
management/leadership experts, business owners, people who have
worked for a horrible boss and lived to tell the tale.

Deadline: 2:00 PM EST - 7 September

Query:

I'm writing about the rioting and looting that have been taking
place and the assumption many have that insurance will cover the
losses. I'll be examining what degree of coverage businesses
typically have for looting and rioting, whether many small
businesses have such coverage, the degree of coverage, whether
any major carriers are paying out significant claims, how much
would actually be covered, what techniques carriers are
using/might use to minimize payouts, the amount of time it takes
a business to get compensation, what happens to rates, and
historically what has happened in such situations (areas that
have seen destructive rioting in the past and how long it took
for businesses to recover). To these ends, I'd like to speak
with experts in insurance coverage and practices,
representatives of insurance carriers,
historians/economists/other academics who can address insurance
issues and also past recoveries, and small business and
commercial property owners who have been adversely affected by
the recent events.

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 11 September

Query:

The pandemic restrictions mean that many seniors in nursing
homes and care facilities won't be able to vote as normal this
year. I'm hoping to speak to a voting rights advocate/expert
and/or senior care facility owner/administrator who can talk
about this issue and lend suggestions to ensure these residents
can still vote. I hope to get responses to the following
questions:

Senior care facility residents may face physical issues that
prevent them from leaving the property to vote. What are some
traditional ways that facilities can help ensure these residents
can still vote (ignoring the pandemic for now)?

What are some traditional barriers that exist to senior care
residents voting (pandemic aside)?

The pandemic complicates efforts that senior care facilities
might traditionally implement, like taking residents
off-property to vote or hosting voting facilities right on the
property. How can facilities adapt to social distancing
requirements while still ensuring that residents can vote in the
coming election?

We still have some time before the election - what steps would
you recommend senior care facilities take now to prepare and
help ensure their residents can vote?

Interviews can be performed via email or phone. The published
article will include a link back to your website and a head
shot. Thank you!
