This is a lightning talk I gave at the 2017 NICAR conference in Jacksonville, FL (March 3, 2017) in which I shared some of my favorite strategies for overcoming roadblocks in FOIA requests.
This presentation was given by Atlantic Media Strategies at ComNet15, The Communications Network annual conference. The presentation was part of the pre-conference workshop, The Art of the Social Blockbuster: Building Audience on Today’s Web. The workshop was led by Jean Ellen Cowgill, President, Atlantic Media Strategies.

PHOTOCATALYTIC DEGRADATION AND REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS IN PHARMACEUTICAL WAST...Journal For Research
In recent years pharmaceutical wastes (PW) deposal of has become a major difficulty for the environment. Therefore, pharmaceutical waste removal is very necessary before its discharge from the pharma industry. The separation of drugs containing organic compounds in wastewater streams is failed by convectional and biological treatments. Thus, the reduction of harmful effects of pharmaceutical compounds is possible by heterogeneous photocatalysis process. Herein we reported the degradation of pharmaceutical concentration in pharmaceutical waste by heterogeneous photocatalyst ZnO doped with Selenium prepared by cost effective hydrothermal method. In addition the heavy metals in pharmaceutical waste were also removed by ZnO/Se nanocomposite. The average band gap of nanocomposite (~2.5 eV) increase the photocatalytic activity and degrade the organic compounds in pharmaceutical waste. The heavy metals get adsorbed on the high surface area of nanocomposite and removed completely by filtration method. The Selenium doped ZnO photocatalyst semiconductor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDAX) and also the characteristic crystalline forms of ZnO/Se nanocomposite was confirmed by XRD. The functional groups and particle size distribution of ZnO/Se nanocomposite was characterized by FTIR and DLS respectively. The reduction of organic compounds in the pharmaceutical waste was confirmed by COD analysis and removal of heavy metals was performed by AAS analysis.
INVESTIGATION OF RESIDUAL STRESSES IN WELDING AND ITS EFFECT ON MECHANICAL BE...Journal For Research
AISI310 is widely used in the manufacture of heat exchangers, radiant tubes, muffles, furnace parts, food processing equipments. Welding is widely used fabrication method in such type of industrial applications; but unfortunately welding induces few problems such as residual stresses and induced distortions. Residual stresses have significant effect on performance of the weld joint subjected to loading. The AISI310 is welded using matched filler material. Thus the weld joint consist of two different materials having different behavior under tensile loading. In this study residual stresses are estimated by using Labeas and Diamantakos formula and values are assigned as an initial stress in FEM of weld joint. The weldment specimen model is subjected to tensile loading and effect of residual stress on local yielding is investigated. The ANSYS is used for this purpose. The response of weld joint to monotonically increasing tensile load is determined experimentally by conducting the transverse and longitudinal tension tests on UTM. The stress-strain behavior of the weld joint is studied vis a vis virgin 310 stainless steel alloy.

What has happened to the income share of the richest fifth of the U.S. population over the past 40 years?
A result that happened to the income share of the richest fifth is that they became more rich than they were. According to the book average income in 2006 richest fifth of the U.S households is $149,963. About 15 times as much income as the poorest fifth. From 1970- 2014 more unequal distribution.
What groups in the U.S. population are most likely to live in poverty?
The group may vary because that depends since the federal government has set up calculations that depend on the family size and gets adjusted every year depending on the changes in the level of prices.
When gauging the amount of inequality, why do transitory and life cycle variations in income cause difficulties?
While trying to distribute benefits in order to reduce poverty there are some difficulties dealing while dealing with improving society such as Welfare people take advantage of the options that are available so they can adjust with the requirements to apply for welfare such as they get encouraged to break up or encouraged to have babies in order to be qualified to gets those benefits by the government. Or instead of curing their illness that prevented them from working they exaggerate so they can keep benefit from those programs.
How would a utilitarian, a liberal, and a libertarian each determine how much income inequality is permissible?
In utilitarian cases the government tried to have more utility for the poor that way to rich people that way to avoid an inefficient use of resources.
Liberals insist on having policies available in order to protect people against the risk of lawsuit or other events.
Libertarians want to enforce more restricted laws that protect individuals and provide equal opportunities.
What are the pros and cons of in-kind (rather than cash) transfers to the poor?
The pros on in-kind process is that they provide them with a supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program SNAP so they can provide them to buy food on the store and Medicate Government tent to help poor people from surviving but do not encourage them to work.
Describe how antipoverty programs can discourage the poor from working. How might you reduce this disincentive? What are the disadvantages of your proposed policy?
The disadvantage of providing them benefits is that people get discouraged and aimed not to work. Some of them they are not 100% dissabled they still have some skills and availability to do certain things that will help the society, before providing full benefits to poor people they should test their percentage of abilities. Or at least reduce benefits when their income start to raise or provide benefits for limited period of time the verify who really needs it.

Nonprofit Insights: The Overhead Myth - What It Is, Why It Matters...and What...VolunteerMatch
You may not know it by name, but most nonprofit organizations have fallen victim to the Overhead Myth, a misconception that spending money on administrative and fundraising costs is a bad thing. It's been confusing donors for too long about what matters when judging a nonprofit, and it is actively harming our ability to solve the world's problems.
In October 2013 VolunteerMatch hosted a special edition of the Nonprofit Insights webinar series and welcomed Jacob Harold of Guidestar and Ann Goggins Gregory of the Bridgespan Group, in conversation with Greg Baldwin of VolunteerMatch. They discussed the cultural values and past behavior of nonprofits, businesses and funders that have led to the current problem, and answer the critical question of "What now?"
Whether you work at a nonprofit or a company, changing the conversation about the overhead ratio is absolutely necessary for ensuring the health of the nonprofit sector, our communities and our world. Watch this webinar to learn what your role can and should be in ending the Overhead Myth.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
