The city of Forest Lake is interested in developing the former Northland Mall site (West of Highway 61 just South of 11th Ave. SW) into a city services complex that would consolidate many of their departments into one location. These departments are currently spread throughout the city, and reside in buildings that have long exceeded their useful life and intended capacity. This video was designed to create public awareness of the severe inadequacies, inefficiency and disrepair of these buildings, in an effort to gain support for the proposition of the required funds to acquire and develop the new site.

The document proposes a mobile app called GoDo that helps groups of friends plan events together. It aims to make event planning less stressful by finding common interests among friends and suggesting nearby activities based on those interests. The app allows users to select friends from Facebook, see shared preferences, get event recommendations, and vote on a final decision. A sample user scenario shows how the app could help a woman name Jenny plan an outing with new acquaintances. The document also describes competitive analysis, key features, screenshots of the app interface, and results from user testing.
Sara organized a community clothes and goods drive to donate items to local charities. She created flyers with the donation details and distributed them to gather interest. On the scheduled collection day, Sara picked up donations from 12 homes, collecting several large bags of items. The donations were then sorted and dropped off at women's shelters and other charities. Sara found the drive to be a success and plans to organize another one with an expanded reach.

The document discusses Malaysia's Multimedia Super Corridor initiative which aims to transform Malaysia into a modern state by 2020. One program under this initiative is the Smart School Flagship Application, a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Education and Multimedia Development Corporation. The initiative provides ICT expertise to schools and aims to impart a desire for learning to all generations through reinventing teaching/learning processes, management/administration, and equipping stakeholders with technology skills. Some challenges in implementing the Smart School program include a lack of readiness to change, passive students, lack of parent/community involvement, and infrastructure/network limitations.
The document discusses using a data logger and pH sensor to measure the pH of milk over time when exposed to air. It finds that the pH decreases as lactic acid is produced by bacteria, causing the milk to sour. The experiment shows the pH dropping from 6.75 initially to 4.8 after 4 days. Data loggers can automatically collect environmental data and produce graphs, but have disadvantages of cost and potential data loss if malfunction.
The document describes an experiment to measure the pH of milk as it sours over several days. A data logger connected to a pH sensor is used to automatically record the pH readings of milk left at room temperature. The results show the pH decreasing over time as lactic acid bacteria convert lactose to lactic acid, making the milk more acidic. The sour milk has a pH below 6.5. Further studies proposed include repeating the experiment with unpasteurized and UHT milk, storing milk at different temperatures, using different milk sources, and different milk brands.
How to choose the right voice for your ivr systemtheivrvoice
The document discusses factors to consider when choosing a voice for an interactive voice response (IVR) system, including experience, track record, and whether a male or female voice is best suited to the type of business. It notes that while technology is important, the voice directing callers should not be an afterthought. Continuity of voice throughout the IVR call flow is also important to support the customer experience. Female voices may be perceived as more persuasive and soothing for many businesses, though male voices are sometimes preferred for industries like automobiles. The right voice paired with an effective call flow can help callers feel at ease.
