      txt: The Festival of the city-enterprise - www.festivaldellecittaimpresa.it A Festival that wants to tell the transformations of the North East and think about the future. The urban centres are the protagonists, the symbols of the industrial transformation that has taken place during the last decades. Today they are representative models of a constantly moving system, lived as an experimental place, together with the cities that are the symbols of the cultural life. A network event that takes place in some cities-enterprise which constitute the symbol of the transformation of the Venice area's economic and social fabric, and that will connect them to Verona, Venice and Trieste, symbols of the three region's cultural life in turn, where some key events will take place. Locations Rovereto (TN): The culture of sustainability - science and enterprise meet in Technopolis. Schio (VI): Reinvent the worlds: how art and culture can create new scenarios after the crisis. Union of the cities Camposampierese (PD): The networks of knowledge and communication. Montebelluna-Asolo (TV): Design as a competitive factor for the enterprise. Vittorio Veneto (TV): Spaces and landscape of a European capital: ideas for a new balance. Maniago (PN): The new cultural industries: the movie factor. Interland Udine (UD): The new "Marco Polo". Culture as a dialogue and exchange factor between the markets and peoples from East to West. link: The Festival of the city-enterprise program

      txt: (pdf file) 2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures launched at UNESCO
      The main goal of the Year will be to demonstrate the benefits of cultural diversity by acknowledging the importance of the constant transfers and exchanges between cultures and the ties forged between them since the dawn of humanity. As cultures encompass not only the arts and humanities, but also lifestyles, different ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs, the protection and promotion of their rich diversity invites us to rise to new challenges at the local, national, regional and international levels. This will involve integrating the principles of dialogue and mutual knowledge in all policies, particularly education, science, culture and communication policies, in the hope of correcting flawed cultural representations, values and stereotypes.

      ok. From a Venetian point of view this kind of ideas inspire a sarcastic smile. But: what we need now is this: different perspectives on reality / [it] ok. Da un punto di vista veneto queste idee ispirano un certo sorriso sarcastico. Però. Quello che serve ora è questo: sguardi diversi della realtà. txt: Jane McGonigal at TED: Gaming can make a better world
      "Reality is broken," says IFTF's Jane McGonigal. "And we all need to tap into a collective sense of urgent optimism—as well as the ability and capacity to act now—to make the future."

      Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future

      [tweetmeme] txt: Carpe diem - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
      In Horace, the phrase is part of the longer Carpe diem quam minime credula postero – "Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future", and the ode says that the future is unknowable, and that instead one should scale back one's hopes to a brief future, and drink one's wine. Compare with the Biblical "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die", a conflation, with emphasis on making the most of current opportunities because life is short and time is fleeting – an existential caution.

      [txt] 5 Tips for Startups and Entrepreneurs - www.readwriteweb.com
      If a simple garage was good enough for Larry Page and Sergey Brin to start goliath search engine Google, it should be good enough for new startups trying to break out at a time when the odds are against them. So the advice of the day? Stop paying $5 for a latte, invest in a basic coffee machine and start innovating.
