nutrients is red meat high in, and what do those nutrients do
for the body? (vitamin B12 and zinc, for example) 6. Any tips on

77) Summary: Looking for couples in LDRs who have had tough conversations during the pandemic.

Name: Carolyn Steber Bustle

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-beup@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 8:00 PM EST - 20 October

Query:

I'm working on an article for Bustle called "The State Of
Long-Distance Relationships."

I'd love to hear from you if you've been forced to have tough
conversations with your long-distance partner, due to the
pandemic. Have you had to talk about moving in together, your
future goals, or other things you weren't necessarily ready to
talk about?

Here are a few questions:

1. How long were you together prior to the pandemic? And how has
it impacted your LDR?

2. Please share the ways in which the pandemic has "forced" you
to have tough conversations, perhaps before you were ready.
(Moving in, future goals, whether you want kids, etc.)

I can keep you anonymous, or just use your first name/age. Thank
you!

78) Summary: FLIRTING and COMMUNICATION EXPERTS: How can we learn to flirt again?

Name: Tracey Duncan Bustle

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-bev2@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 9:00 AM EST - 22 October

Query:

My A/C repair man is super hot. Today when he came to my house,
we flirted through my screen door. At least I think we did. I
don't really interact with that many humans these days, so it
feels hard to tell. I want to talk to a flirting or
communication expert about flirting 101 for those of us who may
have gone a bit feral.

Here are my questions: 1. What's your name, pronouns, location,
title, specialty, and any academic affiliation? 2. Do you think
social distancing has negatively impacted our flirting ability?
3. Do you think the pandemic will change the way we flirt
forever? 4. How can we learn to flirt again? 5. What are some
easy ways we can practice? 6. It seems to me like flirting has
to be kind of innate, like we have to mate, so...am I wrong
about this? I guess I want to trust human evolution to keep the
spark alive. Is this wishful thinking? 7. What else?

Thank you!

Requirements:

sweats that we've been seeing? - Are consumers buying this
pivot, or are they still interested in their home-uniforms
(their leggings, sweats, comfy clothing)? I'd love any stats as
well. - Where do you see this elastic/ flexible waistband trend
going - and is it here to stay? - Is this the way forward for
jeans that have suffered greatly during the pandemic? - What's
your full name, title and where are you based? Thanks

Name: Nicole Dieker Haven Life

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-bevz@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Haven Life

Deadline: 10:00 AM CST - 21 October

Query:

Given the two big narratives from the year -- the ongoing
pandemic and the ongoing fight for racial justice -- what can we
expect from holiday shopping this year? Here are some of our
assumptions:

1. Stores will be limiting shoppers, and Black Friday lines will
be terrible.

2. Many shoppers will be looking to support Black-owned
businesses, small/local businesses, and other places to "vote
with their dollars."

3. Shopping online or shopping curbside might impact what you
buy -- some product categories lend themselves to shopping
online, while others don't.

4. Some might opt for gift cards as a way of supporting small
businesses.

Republicans or are Democrats mobilizing in other ways?

Name: Keith Loria Food Quality & Safety

Category: Public Policy and Government

Email: query-bev0@helpareporter.net

Deadline: 4:00 PM EST - 21 October

Query:

The US Food and Drug Administration on Oct. 16 requested
information about sugars like D-tagatose and isomaltulose that
are metabolized differently than sugar. Such information
eventually could lead the FDA to change how the sweeteners are
labeled on the Nutrition Facts Label in a way that could make
sugar reduction less difficult to achieve.

Hoping to have these questions answered: 1. Why would this be an
important step by the FDA? 2. Why are these non-traditional
sugars better for people?

All help appreciated!
