  Inside the Oval Office
The Oval Office is the president's formal workspace, where he confers with heads of state, diplomats, his staff, and other dignitaries; where he often addresses the American public and the world on television or radio; and where he deals with the issues of the day.
The first Oval Office was built in 1909 in the center of the south side of the West Wing; in 1934 it was moved to its current location on the southeast corner, overlooking the Rose Garden.
Among the features that remain constant are the white marble mantel from the original 1909 Oval Office, the presidential seal in the ceiling, and the two flags behind the president's desk--the U.S. flag and the President's flag.

 Jefferson's Monticello: Oval Flower Beds
There are two elements to the Monticello flower garden: the twenty oval beds immediately around the house and the winding walk flower border that defines the West Lawn.
Although there were earlier references to the flower "borders," it was not until 1807, when Jefferson began to anticipate his retirement from the presidency, that the flower gardens began to assume their ultimate shape.
Although there were later notations concerning plantings in the oval beds in Jefferson's Garden Book, a remarkable diary detailing a lifetime of horticulture at Monticello, the 1807 plan was the most complete.

 Experiments with Oval
That is, we believe the primary innovation in Oval is a user interface that has two important properties: (1) It is simple and intuitive for users to understand, and (2) It provides users a surprisingly large amount of functionality for creating and modifying a wide range of applications.
However, in working with Oval, we realized that nearly every time a user wants to perform a "type operation" (such as adding fields, setting default values for a field, and so forth) the user is already in the context of a specific instance of the type.
For instance, the templates in Notes are equivalent to object types in Oval; the databases in Notes are equivalent to folders in Oval; and the views in Notes are equivalent to views of collections of objects in Oval.
