Internet Better Tourism
ToscanaLab (day two)
Gipsoteca dell’Istituto d’Arte di Porta Romana, a Firenze
29 Giugno 2010
in collaborazione con BTO Educational
Il panel Internet Better Tourism all’interno di ToscanaLab 2k10 ha cercato di fotografare lo stato dell’arte e proverà a rispondere al quesito:
quello che stiamo osservando cos’è?
Non certamente un punto d’arrivo, ma solo la fotografia di un qualcosa che sta evolvendo molto rapidamente.
Cosa cambierà quando tutti gli attori – chi viaggia e chi è nella filiera turistica - consapevolmente s’incontreranno in un ambiente probabilmente diverso da quello che vediamo oggi?
Attraverso una conversazione con i partecipanti all’incontro, mettendo a confronto tante esperienze diverse, si è indagato su “cosa deve ancora accadere perché si entri nella fase in cui tutti gli attori sono perfettamente consapevoli del cambiamento in atto”
Clean water = ducks splashing = frisky behavior.
This one is rated R. I'm sure this is nothing you haven't seen before, but it does contain some good underwater swimming shots (from both Dewey and Daisy), plus it's not every day you see a little Call duck try to mate a Silver Appleyard.
Unfortunately, I guess Flickr doesn't like anything longer than 1.5 minutes, because the end of this got cut off. After it ends here, Daisy finally flung Eddie off of her, then he climbed right back up.
And Todd's commentary and chuckling can be easily heard...sorry about that. He got me laughing and I'm afraid the camera wiggled a little for awhile there. At any rate, here's your amateur ducky love video.
===General information=== Primrose is a type of herbaceous plant that belongs to the family Primulaceae (primrose family). It originates from Europe and mostly inhabits temperate areas of Northern hemisphere. It grows on the moist, but well-drained soil, in partial shade. These conditions are typically for the grasslands, woodlands, hedgerows and areas near the roads. Primrose is often cultivated in pots or gardens in decorative purposes (because of its beautiful flowers). Besides that, primrose is used in treatment of various disorders (in folk medicine). The damp shady conditions found in woodland are perfect for primroses where they can grow in small clusters across the woodland floor. Primrose has hairy stem that can reach 4 to 12 inches in height. It has tongue-like, green leaves. They are wrinkled and toothed on the edges. The leaves are arranged in the form of a rosette at the base of the plant, close to the ground. Primrose produces individual flowers that are usually yellow colored. Flowers have short flower stalks. Some varieties of primrose produce white, red, pink and purple flowers.. Primrose blooms from March to May. When the winter is mild, blooming can start in December. Primrose produces bisexual flowers of two types: pin and thrum. Even though both types of flowers contain both types of reproductive organs, the male are female parts are not equally prominent. In the pin type of flowers, style (female reproductive organ) is exposed, while stamens (male reproductive organs) are located below. In the thrum type of flowers, stamens are prominent, while style is located deeply inside the flower. Unusual morphology of the primrose flowers ensures cross-pollination (flowers cannot perform self-pollination). Insects with long tongues (such as butterflies) collect pollen from one flower and transfer it on the style of another flower when they land on the primrose to feed on nectar. Fruit of primrose is capsule filled with miniature black seed. The Latin name for the primrose is "Primula". It originates from the word "primus" which means "first" or "early". The name refers to the fact that primrose is one of the first plants that bloom in the spring. The leaves and flowers of primrose are edible and often consumed in the form of salad. Young flowers of primrose can be used in the manufacture of wine. The Dried leaves can be used for the preparation of tea. Primrose is important source of food for the rare species of butterflies such as Duke of Burgundy Butterfly. Primrose was often used in treatment of paralysis, gout and rheumatism in the past. Tincture (alcoholic solution) of the primrose is used in treatment of insomnia, restlessness, headache and cough today. Primrose was used for the preparation of magic potions during the Middle Ages. The 19th of April is traditionally Primrose Day, marking the death of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli on April 19, 1881. Queen Victoria sent primroses to his funeral. Every year on April 19 primroses are placed by Disraeli’s statue outside Westminster Abbey. Primrose is a perennial plant, which means that it can survive for more than 2 years in the wild. According to an old English superstition a child who ate a Primrose might see a fairy. In Germany it was thought that the first girl to find a primrose at Easter would marry that year. The motto of the Scottish Clan Primrose is Fide et Fiducia (By Faith and Trust) Shakespeare introduced the phrase “the primrose path” or “the primrose way” to signify a lazy and pleasant route through life The Greeks called the primrose “flower of the 12 gods” (dodecatheon) through a belief in its power to heal diseases including paralysis ===Other common names=== Primrose Common primrose English primrose Blue primrose Culver keys ===*Useful resources=== ift.tt/2GEQzBf ift.tt/2FR2sCC ift.tt/2G3Ha8m ift.tt/2tUqIlZ ift.tt/2FY21K3 ===Scientific classification=== Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Asterids Order: Ericales Family: Primulaceae Genus: Primula *Information sourced from the above sites
Il cecchino miope
La comunicazione del territorio come autocelebrazione
Proprio così, dalla lettura di una freschissima analisi di come stanno comunicando il proprio territorio, le Regioni, le ApT e i Club di Prodotto e altri sembrano proprio dei cecchini miopi, capaci solo di parlare a "se stessi". Il pomeriggio di Day TWO è proseguito con una ricerca sul tema e poi con un dibattito moderato tra creativi.
E' un tema "delicato", che abbiamo trattato con le pinze....
Alla guida del dibattito, Roberta Milano - Co-founder BTO Educational

I Big Data sono diventati da un po’ un argomento mainstream.
E spesso sono dipinti come una sorta di panacea che promette di risolvere tutti i problemi in molti settori, turismo compreso.
Solo che nel settore travel, i big data sono davvero strategici: sono utili per capire le tendenze, ottimizzare il marketing, decidere dove destinare risorse e tempo.
In questo panel prendiamo in considerazione due casi molto concreti.
Boxever, che utilizza in chiave big data tutto quello che le persone lasciano in rete mentre prenotano un volo o una vacanza e li usa per ottimizzare il processo di vendita e soprattutto conoscere meglio i propri clienti.
Andalucia Lab è un esempio di un territorio che utilizza i big data per ottimizzare marketing e comunicazione, analizzando quello che emerge anche per decidere dove destinare il proprio budget a sostegno della Destinazione Andalusia.

Infographic shows the relatively small percentage of people who suffer from depression who may be helped by ketamine, according to clinical studies. Of the 17 million people in the US estimated to suffer from depression, only 10 million receive treatment. Half of those are helped by that treatment, with only about a third experiencing full recovery. Treatment-resistant patients have severe disease and don’t respond to current medications. Studies suggest that about 60 percent of this group may find relief with ketamine

•University Scholarship Program
To stem the exodus from the Holy Land and more specifically from Israel, the FFHL is holding the ‘educational doors of opportunity’ open for the Christian community in the Holy Land. The Franciscan Foundation pays for 4 years of college including tuition and books for economically marginalized students who maintain a B average throughout high school. These scholarship grants are available to any student from any Christian denomination wishing to apply for a four year college program. The winners of the scholarship grants are chosen by the FFHL Scholarship Board made up of four professors residing in the U.S.
Each student selected must show a letter of acceptance from the university they are planning to attend and once that is validated, they can begin studies in the fall and payment for their school tuition commences.
In 2014, 124 (114 BA candidates and 10 MA candidates) students attended college on a scholarship provided by the FFHL at a cost of $575,000 paid by FFHL.
•Child Sponsorship Program
The FFHL conducts a Child Sponsorship Program to provide primary and secondary educational financial assistance for economically marginalized families who are unable to pay for their annual tuition of $500.00 due to economic difficulties. FFHL believes that every child should have an opportunity to an education and no one should be turned away from attending class. The child sponsorship program is a seven year commitment from the 6th grade through the 12th grade.
The children attend the Terra Santa schools, administered by the Franciscan Custody, which are unique because their philosophy is to bring individuals together without any bias either to social class or to Christian or non-Christian students in terms of educational activities. The schools acquaint the student with the values of family life and of society so as to benefit from both. Each school attempts to meet the needs of all those who are deprived physically, morally, economically, and to welcome them as family. The policy of the Franciscan Terra Santa Schools has always been openness and service towards all.
In 2014, the FFHL Child Sponsorship Program provided $109,000 for 218 economically marginalized children, who would otherwise not be receiving an education, to attend classes in schools in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Ramleh and Bethlehem.
•Magnificat Scholarship Program
Music Scholarships: FFHL provides tuition for young children who are gifted musically and wish to learn piano, violin, flute or composing. The Magnificat Institute in Jerusalem counts among its ranks 200 Muslim, Christian, and Jewish students, mainly children, who are studying various disciplines. The Institute has over 20 teachers and three choirs. The primary goal of the Institute is to foster encounter, dialogue, peaceful coexistence, and human and social development amongst people and children of diverse cultural and religious backgrounds in the Holy Land. Learning music in Jerusalem provides a very worthwhile alternative to otherwise difficult living situations in many families. The Institute is in effect a laboratory for peace and sharing , with teachers and pupils who are Israelis and Palestinians, Jews, Muslims and Christian, all united by music to build up a new Jerusalem of peace.
In 2014, the FFHL provided 15 students scholarships to the Magnificat Institute at a total cost of $11,570.
•Vocational/Technical Scholarship Program
Vocational/Trade Educational Grants provide funding for tuition and books for a two year program to learn plumbing, electricity, metal works, carpentry, auto mechanics, hotel management, telecommunications and food cuisine.
In 2014, the FFHL provided 25 students vocational school scholarships at a total cost of $32,500.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns was opened by Dan Barber in the spring of 2004 within the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, a non-profit farm and educational center located on 80 acres of former Rockefeller estate in Pocantico Hills. The center was created by David Rockefeller, his daughter Peggy Dulany, and their associate James Ford as a memorial for Peggy Rockefeller, who died in 1996. The farm-to-table destination, housed inside a former dairy barn, emphasizes seasonal and locally sourced ingredients including many from the surrounding fields and pasture.
Blue Hill at Stone Barns won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant in 2015 and the James Beard Award for Outstanding Service in 2017. It was named the restaurant of the year by Eater in 2016 and reached Number 11 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants List in 2017. Executive Chef and co-owner Dan Barber, who opened the original Blue Hill restaurant in Greenwich Village in 2000, received the James Beard Award for Best Chef: New York City in 2006 and the James Beard Award for the country’s Outstanding Chef in 2009. He was named one of the Best New Chefs by Food and Wine Magazine in 2002, and was named one of he world’s most influential people in Time Magazine's annual Time 100 in 2009. He wrote a book, The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food in 2014 and was appointed by Barack Obama to serve on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition
