This document discusses the importance of reconciliation and dialogue. It argues that reconciliation is challenging but necessary to mend relationships harmed by misunderstandings, prejudices and unkind acts. True reconciliation requires humility, courage, generosity and forgiveness. It also discusses the need for dialogue between religions to promote understanding and cooperation. Dialogue can help address tensions but requires a willingness to forgive wrongs of the past. The season of Lent is an opportunity for reflection on relationships in need of healing through reconciliation and dialogue.

The document summarizes key things that students in an education class hopefully did not learn about educational technology. It lists 5 myths: 1) Technology is the single most important thing for education, 2) Technology alone causes learning, 3) No technology means no engagement, 4) Technology guarantees engagement, 5) Completing the class means being up-to-date on ed tech. It encourages students to think of critiques for each myth and discuss how engagement depends more on content than the technology itself.

Dossier WWF monitoraggio biodiversità Rete Natura 2000 - 2013WWF ITALIA
Il monitoraggio del WWF è stato svolto con un metodo “speditivo”, basato sulla “conoscenza” diretta delle aree da parte dei gestori e degli esperti delle oasi (expert based) che, oltre ad essere stato realizzato in tempi brevi (5 mesi) è stato svolto con pochissime risorse grazie anche ai 190 esperti volontari.
Sono stati complessivamente raccolti 7238 dati, di questi il 16,5% cioè 1191 (84 habitat e 1107 specie) rappresentano segnalazioni nuove rispetto a quanto riportato nei Formulari di Rete Natura 2000 .
Il 2,8%, cioè 185 (10 habitat e 175 specie) tra specie e habitat attualmente sono scomparse o, comunque, non più segnalate; l’1,5%, cioè 112 tra habitat o specie non sono mai stati presenti e rappresenterebbero un errore nel Formulario di Natura 2000. Infine, è emersa la necessità di un approfondimento di indagini e ricerche in quanto risulta che complessivamente per circa il 30% degli habitat sono necessari approfondimenti; analoga la situazione delle specie per le quali complessivamente per il 38,3 % è indispensabile avviare approfondimento, studi e monitoraggi.
Una giornata per ispirare, informare e coinvolgere il pubblico sull'importanza dell'orso e del suo ambiente naturale per il futuro di tutti noi.

The document discusses the importance and priorities of smart cities. It notes that 50% of people currently live in urban areas, consuming 75% of resources and producing 80% of carbon emissions. By 2050, 70% of the world's population is projected to live in urban areas. The document argues that smart cities using data and technology can help address these issues by creating more sustainable, connected, and participatory communities. It outlines Italy's approach to smart cities, resources available, and the goals of its upcoming Smart City Exhibition 2014 conference in Rome.

The document summarizes a presentation about a living lab project at Villa Durazzo-Pallavicini park in Genoa, Italy. The park and its botanical garden were perceived as valuable but unsafe by citizens. To address this, a user-centered design process was used where users helped evaluate and design solutions. Proposed solutions included using QR codes and apps to provide information to users, a central database to manage data, improving the tourism website, and installing a video surveillance system to make the park safer. The goals were to improve access to nature for citizens and make the city's green spaces cleaner and safer places.
The document discusses a project in Fundão, Portugal, a small municipality struggling with problems related to its low population density, unemployment among young people with high education levels of 30%. The project aims to attract talent and investment through an open innovation strategy using a living lab, fab lab, co-working spaces, and revitalizing rural schools to rebuild the social and economic conditions in a low-cost and practical way. The key aspects that helped the project's success were its proximity, agility in prototyping solutions, and having political support for an open and transparent process.
The document discusses a project in Florence, Italy to create a smarter, city-wide wireless user experience. It outlines some of the challenges faced, including getting private businesses involved and developing a sustainable business model. The proposed strategy is to use the wireless network to promote new business models and offer a unique user experience with free content and apps. This would help boost online service and app adoption. The proposed solution involves formal partnerships between public bodies and private parties to provide a consistent wireless experience across the city while allowing for separate systems and content. There are still challenges around legal and business model issues.
The document discusses smart mobility solutions for cities. It describes how city mobility is a major issue as people have multiple transportation options but few ways to choose affordable and environmentally-friendly options with real-time information. It then outlines problems like traffic congestion and lack of integrated information systems. The proposed strategy is to integrate and aggregate and then disaggregate multi-channel transportation data from various sensors and sources in an open-source system. This would provide real-time information on traffic, parking, events and more to citizens. The solution aims to address specific groups' needs through crowd-sourcing and co-design.
This document summarizes a presentation given at the SCE2012 conference about a project called the Smart Square. The Smart Square is a virtual citizen community created by the municipality of Athens to promote citizen involvement in city governance and service codesign. It aims to improve citizen-city communication channels and make them more interactive. The key component is a mobile application called MySquare that allows citizens to create and participate in local digital discussion spaces about any city area or issue. The goal is to empower citizens, improve awareness and sense of belonging, and help prioritize needs in city service production.
Jesse Marsh gave a presentation on the human-oriented smart city projects of 14 major European cities. The Pecha Kucha format was used, with each city giving a short presentation on their strategies around open data, technical and social innovation, citizen engagement, and empowerment to create more human-centered smart cities. Representatives from the cities then provided further discussion and responded to issues raised by experts and the public audience.
Jon Kingsbury gave a presentation at a Smart City conference on the role of creativity and creative industries in Smart Cities. He discussed how creative industries can help cities by using data to experimentally test new ideas and gather feedback to build creative capacity. He argued the value of thinking about the "Creative Economy" more broadly than just specific industries. Kingsbury took questions on how creative industries can most powerfully contribute to networked cities and how cities can develop their creative abilities.

“ADOTTA UN MONUMENTO”
Iniziativa benefica dei Geologi Ferraresi
Dr. Geol. Antonio Mucchi
In rappresentanza dei colleghi ferraresi partecipanti all’iniziativa
3. “ADOTTA UN MONUMENTO”
L’iniziativa dei geologi ferraresi con il patrocinio
dell’Ordine dei Geologi dell’Emilia Romagna
è rivolta ai Comuni dell’Alto Ferrarese colpiti dal
sisma del Maggio 2012 .
I geologi ferraresi hanno offerto gratuitamente
la loro prestazione professionale per la
redazione della relazione geologica -
geotecnica, comprensiva di indagini in sito ed
analisi geotecniche di laboratorio.
4.
5. L’iniziativa è nata a seguito di una telefonata del collega Walter che
frastornato e addolorato per quello che stava vedendo nei luoghi
colpiti dal terremoto mi diceva “Antonio dobbiamo
assolutamente fare qualcosa” . Ho avuto un attimo di pausa,
pensavo che noi geologi ferraresi eravamo stati esclusi in Regione
dal gruppo di lavoro che doveva studiare il fenomeno e quindi di
fatto tagliati fuori. Improvvisamente con rabbia e determinazione
gli dissi “Walter offriamo un’indagine gratuita per un edificio o
un monumento pubblico in ogni Comune colpito in segno di
solidarietà per la NOSTRA GENTE ”. Walter rispose “Io ci sto ” .
Non è certo stata un’idea geniale , ma spontanea e dettata dal
cuore che condivido con i 37 colleghi ferraresi che hanno aderito
all’iniziativa.
E’ bastato un giro di telefonate e in poche ore abbiamo organizzato
nove gruppi di lavoro, che ho avuto il piacere di coordinare in
questa avventura che rimarrà una bella pagina per la storia della
geologia ferrarese.

8. Le indagini sono state eseguite nel rispetto delle Norme Tecniche Delle
Costruzioni che prevedono l’obbligatorietà della relazione geologica e
geotecnica .
Norma purtroppo non sempre rispettata, oppure lo è solo per soddisfare un’
esigenza burocratica .
Le indagini eseguite per l’iniziativa “Adotta Un Monumento” hanno toccato i
seguenti aspetti:
- Modello Geologico
- Modello Geotecnico
- Indagini Geognostiche (sondaggi, penetrometrie, rilievi sismici)
- Analisi Geotecniche di laboratorio
Aspetti che permettono al progettista di prevedere il comportamento del
sottosuolo sia sotto le normali sollecitazioni dovute alla presenza
dell’edificio stesso, sia in condizioni di evento sismico (pericolosità sismica
locale)

17. Non è il terremoto ad uccidere , ma uccide il crollo dei fabbricati.
Lo stato delle conoscenze attuali permette di ridurre l’impatto dei
terremoti , questo concetto si deve necessariamente trasformare
in una politica di prevenzione e messa in sicurezza del territorio
quale opera pubblica più importante del paese
“Strategie di prevenzioni più efficaci farebbero non solo
risparmiare decine di miliardi di dollari ma
salverebbero decine di migliaia di vite. Costruire una
cultura di prevenzione non è facile. Mentre i costi
della prevenzione debbono essere pagati nel
presente, i suoi benefici si avvertono in un futuro
distante. Per di più i benefici non sono tangibili:
ESSI SONO I DISASTRI CHE NON SONO ACCADUTI”
(Kofi Annan, WSSD 2002)
18. E’ possibile parlare di
“SMART CITIES” senza
una preventiva messa
in sicurezza del
territorio ?
Grazie per l’attenzione
