Query:
Discuss how/if families from popular holiday movies (Home
Alone, It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story) could get their
homes insured for the holidays, and if insurance companies would
even consider doing so given the hi-jinks they get into! So for
instance, in a Christmas Story, examine one of the scenes, like
where the neighbor's dogs run through the living room on
Christmas and wreak havoc in the kitchen! Would that be covered
under home insurance? What about the Christmas tree burning
down or the explosion (at the end of the movie) in National
Lampoon's Christmas? You can pick any relevant examples for the
other movies.
Do you need special insurance for the holidays (i.e. for
decorations, family parties, etc.)? What does most homeowners
insurance cover in regards to holiday incidents? Are fires
covered from Christmas trees, Hanukkah candles, holiday lights,
etc.? What about incidents with fireplaces or while cooking?
Requirements:
You must be a trustworthy authority on the subject based on
experience, education, and/or institutional affiliation.

Query:
For the Content Marketing Institute's "Articles" page
(https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/blog/), would like short
(one paragraph) input from content pros/content marketers on
"What COVID Taught Me about Content." Would like a mix of best
practices/advice/observations (but just one tip per quoted
professional/expert) that is COVID-related when it comes to
content storytelling, client relations, SEO/metrics, connecting
to target audiences, messaging, etc. Example I'll use for my own
input: "My agency's clients are being very considerate about
approaching the topic in a sensitive, tasteful manner. They seek
content that explains how they can solve organizations'
post-pandemic problems. But they don't want to come across as
exploitive of the situation or otherwise "ambulance chasing."
It's a fine line to walk. But I've found that the time-tested
lessons still apply here: Focus on results-based, good
storytelling. Present the client as a helpful resource in a time
of need, as opposed to being self-promotional about products and
services." (This was less than 100 words ... Probably best for
all responses to be less than 100 words.) Please include your
name, title, organization and preferred link. For every expert
quoted, I will provide full identification and a link in this

will be able to make more informed investment decisions.

can new investors participate in the primary market? Are
institutional investors the only ones with access to the primary
market? What are the benefits of investing in the primary
market? When do investors invest in the primary market? How long
does it take for a company's shares to hit the secondary market?
Requirements:

on the subject of primary and secondary markets. Any advice you

you are lying? How do hirers/employers feel about people who lie
on their resume? Could it affect the company if they were to

training that they weren't planing to? Why else is it a bad idea
to lie about? And what would you consider bad things to lie
about on your resume?
