Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about
"How I Was Able To Pivot To A New Exciting Opportunity Because
Of The Pandemic" Full description here https://bit.ly/34HhdXK
The COVID19 pandemic has disrupted all of our lives. But
sometimes disruptions can be times of opportunity. Many people's
livelihoods have been hurt by the pandemic. But many people saw
this as an opportune time to take their lives in a new direction.
We would like to interview and feature people who were able to
pivot and take their careers and/or lives in a new exciting
direction as a result of the disruption of the pandemic.
The interview series will have two stages.

Deadline: 5:00 PM PST - 10 November
Query:
For Construction Dive, which covers the nonresidential
construction industry, this article attempts to answer the
question of how much risk construction sites, which have been
deemed essential and have remained open, pose for workplace
outbreaks of COVID-19 as national infection numbers climb.
While county health departments have tracked various outbreaks
in workplaces in general, and construction sites in particular,
it's more challenging to find national numbers that put the
relative risk for construction workers on jobsites in context.
The construction industry as a whole has taken aggressive action
to mitigate risks through PPE, jobsite cleaning and social
distancing. But most construction sites lack running water and
flushable toilets, making good hygiene and hand washing
challenging, and workers are often necessarily in close
proximity to one another to do their jobs.
I'd like to speak with academics, infectious disease experts,
COVID-19 contact tracers and construction professionals to get
the best estimation possible of how many jobsite related
outbreaks have occurred on construction sites, and what the
relative risk is for construction workers. Please contact Joe
Bousquin at jbousquin@industrydive.com.

I know that investing in penny stocks is very risky.
I'm writing a kind of "how-to" guide for the people that
understand the risks of penny stocks and want to invest in them
anyway.
I'm looking for some advice that can help people mitigate some
of the risks and avoid scams.
Ideally, you could help answer some of these questions: 1.
People should "do their research" before picking a stock. What
does that look like for penny stocks? What should they look for?
2. How can a person find an honest broker? What characteristics
should they look for? 3. Are some exchanges better than others?
Which ones? And why?
Thanks!
