anyone learn them?

works needs to be done? What training and licensing needs to be

Query:
Conventional loan market share (vs government-backed loans) has
ranged from about 55% to approximately 80% in recent years. What
do you believe drives changes in the popularity of these loans?
Conventional home loans are much more popular in some regions of
the country than in others. According to the National
Association of HomeBuilders (NAHB), "The reliance on
non-conventional forms of financing varied across the United
States. The high was in the West South Central census division
(Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas) at 48.5 percent and
lowest in the Middle Atlantic division (New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania) at 15.8 percent." What do you believe might cause
these differences?
What do you believe is the most pervasive myth about
conventional mortgage financing?
According to National Community Reinvestment Coalition research,
"There are conventional products offered by Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac that mimic FHA lending, but it does not appear that
lenders made a large number of these, instead offering LMI (low
median income) and minority borrowers the higher-cost
government-insured alternatives." Do you believe that
conventional 97 mortgages are being under-utilized in the
marketplace?
Requirements:
This is directed to real estate, mortgage and finance experts

I have several questions I would like experts to answer *in
writing and via email,* so I could expand this article.
1) Now that many more top law schools accept the GRE than
several years ago, does that change the decision-making process
for prospective law students who are trying to decide between
the LSAT and the GRE? Does that make it easier or simpler to
choose the GRE?
2) How should someone choose between the LSAT and the GRE? What
criteria should they use to make that decision?
3) If someone already has an exceptional GRE score, is it in
their interest to take the LSAT?
4) How can someone convert a GRE score to its equivalent LSAT
score and vise versa, and where can someone find reliable
conversion tables?
5) What major changes have been made to the LSAT and the GRE
because of the coronavirus, and how do those changes impact
students?

Query:
It is easy to start a YouTube channel. Or several. But judging
by the amount of 'abandoned' channel with little or no content,
one would assume it isn't that easy to keep up with update
content and constant growth until a channel becomes relevant and
monetizable. How then, to start a successful YouTube channel in
2021?
Requirements:
Looking for content creators who started a channel and managed
to grow in number of subscribers and constant content updates.
How long did it take to reach your first 1000 subs? What was
the biggest challenge, during the journey? And what would you do
differently if you were starting a YouTube channel this year?
Please only reply if your channel has, at least 1000 subs, as
this is for a very specific article.
Thank you in advance for your time and please include your
YouTube URL while replying to this query.

"So you got the job of your dreams, now what? How do you prepare
for the job and keep going with the job and with life when you
may feel like you've now hit a plateau in your professional
life?"
Once you're out of college and finally get your "dream job",
it's time to prepare for that job and the rest of your life.
Once you've prepared for that job it can feel like you have
nothing else to work towards and you may feel like you've hit a
plateau. How can we keep going through that plateau? Once you
have that job of your dreams, how can you keep the excitement
going and keep finding new things to work towards if you start
to feel bored?
Requirements:
I would love to hear from some career coaches, but anyone who's
felt this plateau before after getting their "dream job", or
just a job they really loved, is more than welcome to respond!

problem, the Max Planck scientists say, is that there's no way
to contain such an algorithm without technology far more
advanced than what we can build today. I'm seeking expert
commentary from people with a strong academic background in AI

so by how much? How difficult is it to get a second passport?
What are the benefits (and obligations) of citizenship?

I'm researching a story about long-term stay options (more than
two weeks) for travelers. During the pandemic, there's been a
surge in interest from people who want longer-term, corporate
housing with vacation-rental-type amenities. Some also offer
subscription options that allow you to move from one city to the
next. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has subscribed
to their accommodations over a period of weeks or months. I'm
also interested in getting insights from industry experts on the
long-term accommodations trend. What's the growth like in this
market segment, and how much has the pandemic affected the
growth? What are the major players in this market? And what is
your advice for consumers who want to take a one-, two-, or
three-month trip and are looking for accommodations?
