Here are a few requirements that you should be aware of. (1) You do not need to be an expert in EPA regulations, water contamination, PFAS, or how municipalities work. I will set up a paid one-hour call with you to teach you everything about PFAS, EPA rules, give you background information about what response to expect on each question. (2) You should enjoy speaking to people. You do not need to sell them anything. You are simply trying to better understand their needs and what are they doing about it. (3) Enter the notes in a spreadsheet and spend another (paid) hour with me walking me through your work and answering questions that I might have. Project Details (1) Interview about 15 water departments of towns (less than 5,000 residents). The goal will be to pick just one town in each state and concentrate on those where PFAS has been found. I will train you how to find those. (2) Do a quick search on Google for "name water department" and identify the person who may be managing the town's water. (3) Make a phone call to that department/person and, while I will give you a spreadsheet to complete, you will be asking a few simple questions (I expect the phone call to last no more than 5-10 minutes unless you end up with someone who is in a chatty mood). You can simply tell them that you are calling on behalf of a company (my client) that wants to help water departments comply with recent PFAS regulation announced by the EPA. The questions will be something like: (a) Are you aware of the recent EPA rules about PFAS limits and I am wondering what plan do you have in place to comply with those? (2) What are your challenges and how can a company help? (3) While you are trying to get the funding and a plan to install a system to take out PFAS, how do you plan to help your community not having to drink PFAS contaminated water? (4) Have you developed an estimate for how much it will cost your town? (5) Have some residents of your town already contacted you about PFAS and what are the expecting from you?

I am a course creator who using Zoom to do a lot of screen recording for my courses. Something went wonky with my last round of recordings, and my videos now have random black boxes in them (see attached snapshot). This has happened before, and I've been able to get away with fixing it on Canva, but this time, based on where the boxes are located, it's too complicated for my skills. For the corner video of me talking on the right, I'd love to somehow enlarge it to cover the black box. As for the other little random squares, I have no idea how to completely remove those from the video. I assume, for a professional with the right tools, this will be an easy fix. On a side note, if you could explain to me why this might be happening and how I could prevent this from happening in the future, I'd greatly appreciate it. I know it has something to do with the fact that I just hooked up a second monitor to be able to use two screens at my desk. This is when the problems started with screen recording and random black boxes.
