Learning To Follow Through On Projects and Not Procrastinate
The document discusses strategies for avoiding procrastination using magnetic sign holders. Common reasons for procrastinating include not knowing the next steps, boredom, difficulty of the task, frustration, and perfectionism. Magnetic sign holders can be used to display outlines of project steps, contact info for help, facts to further the project, details of past similar work, and general guidelines. They can also hold inspirational photos, images of future goals, mementos of loved ones benefitting from the work, and quotes or past achievements. Keeping these items visible where work is done or where procrastination occurs can provide motivation to stay on track.
Powerful presentations
This document provides guidance on creating effective stakeholder presentations. It discusses techniques for performance driven presentation design, including having specific objectives, analyzing stakeholders, sequencing content, and defining success criteria. It emphasizes spending 50% of effort on stakeholder analysis to understand their concerns, personalities, agendas, and expertise. Content should be sequenced from problems to solutions, funneling data and using evidence, anecdotes, and highlights. Presentations must also define the required response or actions and associated metrics. Additional tips provided include using graphics and charts, effective slide layout, and managing audio/visual elements. Strong delivery requires a persuasive speaking style, effective use of speech, voice, and non-verbal communication, and building rapport with audiences. Present
Alex_Chan_Strategic_Planning
This document outlines a strategic planning meeting agenda. It includes discussions of conducting a SWOT analysis to understand strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The group will then brainstorm goals they want to accomplish in the next two years. They will identify key steps needed to achieve each goal, considering available resources and constraints. Each committee will then develop a 2-year work plan outlining their goals and the key steps, resources, and constraints to accomplish them. The work plans are due to the program coordinator by April 1st.
Lawn Conversion Policy
This document discusses a referral from Supervisors Yeager and Cortese to the County Administration regarding creating a lawn conversion policy and 10-year moratorium on new water-intensive landscaping on County property. It provides background on water conservation efforts already undertaken by the County and Valley Water District, including converting lawns to drought-tolerant plants and offering rebates. The referral would have additional decorative lawns on County property converted and explore funding opportunities for conversions, while refraining from new water-intensive landscaping for 10 years with exceptions.
Manali cpd
Manali Moradiya is a student in the E.C. branch who wrote about personality development. The document discusses N.D. Sir, a 40-year-old teacher with 12 years of experience who believes in internal and external success. It emphasizes the importance of time management, having a positive attitude, and setting high goals. According to N.D. Sir, job satisfaction comes from within and engineers will learn more from life experiences than their education.
Office of LGBTQ Services
This document is a referral from Ken Yeager, a member of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, to establish an Office of LGBTQ Affairs. Yeager cites statistics showing disparities faced by the LGBTQ community in areas like poverty, homelessness, health, education and criminal justice. He notes efforts the county has already taken but argues a coordinated office could better assist departments in eliminating disparities. The proposed office would provide training, assistance, promote best practices, external relations and measure progress. The referral asks the County Executive to report back with considerations for establishing such an office.
IndyStar - Bill Clinton
Former President Bill Clinton gave a keynote speech at DePauw University where he received a warm welcome from thousands of students and local residents who braved cold weather. In his speech, Clinton praised the students' commitment to volunteer work. He delivered an optimistic message about overcoming adversity and making a positive difference. Clinton urged listeners to work together across differences and never give up on their goals and dreams.
Urban Ag Incentive Zones
- The document recommends that the Board of Supervisors direct the Administration to report back on an ordinance to create an Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone in Santa Clara County as authorized by state law. This would provide a property tax reduction to encourage urban farming on vacant land.
- There are approximately 91 parcels in unincorporated San Jose that could be eligible for this designation. It is estimated the maximum potential property tax revenue loss to local governments over 5 years would be $762,000, though likely less since not all parcels would participate.
- Supporters argue this would promote local food production, community benefits from urban farms, and help non-profits and landowners with associated costs.

WIRELESS BLACK BOX REPORT FOR TRACKING OF ACCIDENTAL MONITORING IN VEHICLES
The following paper is to develop a
wireless black box using MEMS accelerometer and
GPS tracking system for accidental monitoring.
MEMS is a Micro electro mechanical sensor which is
a high sensitive sensor and capable of detecting the
tilt. This device can perform all the tilt functions like
forward, reverse, left and right directions. The system
consists of cooperative components of an
accelerometer, microcontroller unit, GPS device and
GSM module. If any accident occurs, this wireless
device will send mobile phone a short massage
indicating the position of vehicle by tracing the
location of the vehicle through GPS system to family
member, emergency medical service (EMS) and
nearest hospital. . The threshold algorithm and speed
of motorcycle are used to determine fall or accident
in real-time. In this project we are also using
temperature sensor and CO sensor which are
interfaced to the micro controller. With the help of
temperature sensor we can measure amount of
temperature exhausted from the vehicle. CO sensor
will sense the amount of CO gas emitted from the
vehicle. Whenever the CO gas level exceeds the
threshold limit then the motor of the vehicle is
stopped. Ultrasonic sensor in the module is used to
detect any obstacle in the surroundings of the vehicle
and intimates the microcontroller and the controller
calculates the distance between the vehicles and if the
distance is very less, then vehicle stops automatically.
