Steve Jobs shares three stories from his life in his 2005 Stanford commencement address:
1. He dropped out of college after 6 months but took a calligraphy class that influenced Apple's emphasis on beautiful typography decades later, showing the importance of exploring curiosities.
2. He was fired from Apple at 30 but it allowed him to start new successful ventures like NeXT and Pixar, teaching that losses can enable future gains.
3. Receiving a cancer diagnosis he was told would kill him in months inspired him to follow his passions and not let fears deter him, as death is inevitable for all.

Tess of the D'Urbervilles caused controversy when it was published due to its subtitle referring to Tess as a "pure woman" despite her acknowledged sexual and criminal experiences. However, Hardy meant "pure" to refer to her nature and spirit, not her physical actions. Throughout her interactions with Alec, Tess gives no encouragement to his advances and maintains her modesty and independence. Her mother views Tess's experience as a natural occurrence according to nature, which is neither good nor evil. While Tess's actions make her physically impure, mentally and spiritually she remains saintly, with strong revolutionary intent.
Luc Betbeder provides a status update on the Medicine Web Refresh 2011 project. The goals of the project were to refresh key Medicine websites, spotlight people and projects using content from the Research Gateway, separate content from design, use a modular framework, and embrace social media. The methodology involved reviewing other websites, selecting Drupal as the CMS, prototyping using Research Gateway data, and engaging a design firm. Results included piloting the new NDARC site template and planning rollouts of other sites by end of year.

The document provides design guidelines for multi-display environments in command and control centers. It recommends (1) balancing information across public, private, and group displays to accommodate different roles and needs, (2) designing for ecologies of complementary static and dynamic displays, and (3) leveraging constraints of the environment to avoid information overload while supporting collaboration.

This document contains questions and answers about a poem titled "He Had Such Quiet Eyes". The poem tells the story of a woman who is deceived by a man with quiet, deceitful eyes. She did not listen to advice and realize what kind of man he was. In the end, she is left with regrets for having been so easily fooled. The document examines themes of deception, regret, and the importance of listening to advice before getting into a relationship.
The document discusses proactive service discovery in the UbiCollab platform. UbiCollab allows for ubiquitous and pervasive collaboration across distributed devices. It uses a proactive approach to service discovery where resources advertise themselves using codes, rather than relying on retroactive discovery. Proxies act as software drivers that expose APIs for applications to control heterogeneous resources. The system allows for on-the-fly discovery of services and integration with other projects like ASTRA.
