Historically, people wait until after the holidays to split up -
has the pandemic/quarantining changed that? And how else has the

changed (e.g., one person followed health precautions and the
other did not)? Can people even afford to get divorced anymore?
Is there a big backlog in the family courts because many were
closed for so long? Are they expecting a big surge in cases once
courts resume business as usual?

Looking for expert insight. Please identify and provide

finance or marketing promises and myths about ways you can help
yourself retire early, that aren't actually as simple as they

For example - creating a blog that generates a passive stream of
income, which doesn't always work and also requires a
significant commitment to be successful.
What are some of the other examples like this - things that are
promoted as paths to early retirement that may or may not work
or may take far more effort than is made clear.
Requirements:
Please provide a link to your professional bio establishing your
related expertise.
Please provide your submissions in this format:

commentary and insight explaining why this particular tactic to

Query:
As employees' desires and demands evolve, it can be challenging
for companies to keep up. With the holidays over, and we
approach the season of reflection, let's take a look at what
gifts and perks are really making the mark with employees. From
an employee perspective, I would love to hear:
What is the best gift you've ever received from a boss/company?
What is something surprising or special your employer has done
or said that has meant a lot to you, beyond common benefits like
days off and competitive pay? Like giving all employees doordash
gift cards for Friday night dinners at home. Why do you think
it's important for employers to listen to what their employees
really want and need rather than send a generic gift?
Requirements:
I would love answers from 1. An employee perspective 2. OR an
HR/leader POV on what they have seen and heard really work /
anecdotes.

Hi, I'm doing a story about a specific real estate developer
facing a Securities and Exchange Commission fraud complaint. I'm
looking for someone who can comment about real estate developers
who are facing or have faced charges by the SEC. I'm hoping that
same someone can comment on real estate developers that are
barred by a judge from raising more funds without the SEC's
express permission.
Requirements:
Ideally, the person who can comment on the topics I mentioned in
my query is based in the United States and has knowledge of real
estate developers who are facing or have faced SEC fraud
charges. Some of the questions I have for this person: does the
SEC often go after real estate developers? Is there any recourse
for a developer who is barred by a judge from any more funds
without the SEC's express permission?

Query:
Hi--in light of Amazon's announcement it bought 11 planes from
Delta and WestJet to build out its cargo network, I'm curious if
this is a sign to things to come. I wrote last year about how
Amazon was one of the few companies in a position to scoop up
empty real estate vacated by retailers/restaurants that closed
as a result of the pandemic--and with the travel industry's
well-documented woes in the last year, I'm wondering if there's
a similar story in potential for Amazon to build out Amazon Air
by scooping up assets from struggling airlines?
Requirements:
Retail/logistics/travel experts, please--thanks!

appraisers, and other real estate experts. Open to mortgage
professionals who work at banks and other direct lenders if they

of the loans I mentioned above that you're familiar with.
