This document discusses the importance of time management and balancing work, play, and life. It highlights some negative outcomes of poor time management like pressure, lost opportunities, and being overloaded. The document then provides tips for improving time management such as organizing, focusing, delegating, prioritizing, planning, creating to-do lists, and streamlining activities.
1. A team of students was assigned a project to design ways to increase social interaction for the elderly via Facebook.
2. They explored several design iterations including a teddy bear that used gestures to communicate, an orchid plant that responded to sound levels, and an anemone sculpture that sent messages through moving tentacles.
3. The final prototype was an anemone sculpture that could detect sound levels and tentacle positions to send predefined messages to Facebook, allowing for social interaction and communication for elderly users.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

My reflection on engaging with homeless people during co-design practice at Homeless SMS.
1. The study tracked 291 visitors in Delft city center over 10 weeks using GPS devices to understand preferences and behavior patterns.
2. Analysis found it was difficult for visitors to reach all desired shopping destinations due to their distance and dispersion throughout the city center. Streets oriented in certain directions provided stronger orientation and wayfinding cues than others.
3. There was a "cognitive gap" between the central Markt area and the peripheral Zuidpoort parking garage in visitors' mental maps, showing how geographic configurations can influence preferences.
This document summarizes the process of prototyping a social media service for homeless people over 10 weeks and 3 iterations. The first iteration tested a web-based SMS tool with 7 homeless people from a shelter and 4 from the streets, but only 4 people used it. The second iteration changed to using Twitter with support for 5 shelter participants, but engagement dropped off. The third iteration implemented the SMS service through an existing homeless service provider with 20 participants, but engagement also dropped off over time. The summary emphasizes lessons learned around communication challenges, not taking technology access for granted, failing fast and learning, the importance of core users, and protecting relationships with participants.
The document discusses research conducted with homeless people in London to understand their needs and daily experiences. A team developed the research project through co-creation with experts, homeless individuals, and organizations. The research methods included volunteering at a homeless hostel, shadowing outreach teams, and immersive observation to build empathy and relationships. Findings showed that homeless people's social networks and daily routines varied, with some maintaining connections while others were isolated. The research also mapped the common geographic areas frequented and phases people experience over time from becoming homeless to rehabilitation.

This document summarizes a presentation about the Homeless SMS project, which uses basic mobile technology to provide services and support to homeless people. The project started in 2010 in London and has expanded to the Netherlands. It partners with local organizations in Eindhoven to test messaging-based services like appointment reminders and weekly activity updates. Through prototyping and testing different value propositions with homeless youth and staff, the project aims to support reintegration into society and reduce costs associated with homelessness. The presentation concludes with lessons learned about giving people mandate and time for public innovation.
Prototyping involves constructing future situations with real people to evaluate design solutions. [1] Prototypes of a mobile service for the homeless were created through storyboarding and experiential testing to validate the concept. [2] Three iterations were run with homeless participants using Twitter to test the idea of an SMS service connecting them to local resources. [3] Positive outcomes included users receiving assistance like eye exams and job opportunities, showing the potential of the concept.
The document lists various keyboard shortcuts for formatting text, moving the cursor, working with dates and times, entering special characters, and performing other common tasks in Microsoft Excel 2007. It provides the shortcut key combinations to bold, italicize, underline, and strikethrough text as well as cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo actions. Cursor movement shortcuts, shortcuts to select entire rows, columns, or worksheets, and shortcuts for navigating between worksheets are also included.
Nancy documents her retirement in the coastal community of Panacea, Florida through photos and brief captions. The photos show the natural springs that drew people to the area historically, her house on a creek, the community pool she shares with part-time residents, local shops and restaurants, boating, fishing, wildlife sightings, and festivals that celebrate the local culture. Nancy expresses enjoying the slower pace of life and welcoming nature of the community.
Este documento describe la segunda etapa de un proyecto para construir la Escuela de Ciencias Médicas y Biológicas "Dr. Ignacio Chávez" en el campus Zamora de la Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo. La primera etapa incluyó la construcción de aulas, laboratorios y servicios sanitarios, y la segunda etapa contempla la construcción de más aulas, laboratorios y un auditorio. El objetivo es proporcionar los espacios necesarios para completar el programa de estudios de la facultad de medicina y divulgar

Rich Tullo Editorial on Mark To Market and FASB 157ttgoods
The document discusses reforms needed to the mark-to-market accounting rule (FASB 157) to help address the financial crisis. It argues that FASB 157, which requires securities to be valued based on their last sale price, even if that price does not reflect true value, has led banks to post losses on mortgage securities and curtail lending. Reforming the rule to value securities based on their "call price" (the price a bank would sell them at) would result in prices closer to intrinsic value and support markets. While the Treasury plan addresses some issues, a complete overhaul of securities regulations is still needed to prevent future crises.
System software controls internal computer operations like input/output and includes the operating system, language processors, device drivers, and utility software. An operating system coordinates hardware and software resources and acts as an interface between users and applications. Language processors translate high-level programming languages into machine code, compilers convert entire programs at once while interpreters convert line-by-line, and device drivers allow operating systems to communicate with hardware.
