Murillo B.E. was born in 1617 in Seville, Spain and was orphaned at a young age, living with a local artist who influenced his early religious works. Some of his drawings were sold to churches and his paintings emphasized the peaceful, joyous aspects of spiritual life. In his later years, he helped found a public Academy of Art and served as its president, but died in 1682 while painting a mural on a monastery wall.
Ray Boggs presented on IT spending trends among small and medium businesses. He found that SMB IT spending is growing faster than total corporate IT spending. Many SMBs plan to delay, reduce, or focus their IT spending on tactical projects in the next 12 months due to economic concerns. SMBs are interested in software-as-a-service solutions for benefits like paying for capabilities as needed. However, they also have security and cost concerns about these solutions. Dell then presented on their new managed services approach to address SMB needs like reducing downtime and costs while freeing up resources. They outlined service plan levels and features to provide remote monitoring, resolution, and management support for SMBs.
The document discusses different views on beauty and taste from an aesthetic perspective. It references works of art and examines theories from philosophers such as Kant, Hume, and Duchamp. Kant's view of beauty is summarized as seeing it as the subjective effect of a specific geometry, where beauty is perceived purposiveness without an actual purpose through distinterestedness, formalism, and universal subjectivity.
