- di default dà la categoria 35 - Case Affitto, in cui è possibile cercare per località (come i motori di questo settore), peccato che ci sia un solo immobile, e che per trovarlo non basti cliccare sulla freccia senza inserire altri parametri di ricerca, ma bisogni cliccare sulla categoria in alto
- di default la data degli annunci è quella del giorno in cui si accede (???)
- per elencarli tutti, in questo momento: cat.35 Case Affitto: 1; cat.34 Case Vendita: 1; cat.38 Immobili Affitto: 5 (in due pagine...); cat.37 Immobili Vendita: 5 (sempre su due pagine...); cat.41 Località Turistiche: 1; cat.08 Consulenza - Outsourcing: 1; cat.02 Finanziamenti Compravendita Aziendale: 53 (in 18 pagine, senza la possibilità di visualizzarli diversamente, e tutti in data 4 novembre 2007, domenica, strano...); cat.24 Offerte Impiego: 1; cat.39 Professionisti: 5
- si possono cercare annunci anche in date successive a quella odierna, fino al 31.12.2041 (!!!)
- tutte le altre categorie sono a 0 (zero) annunci, e cioè: Viaggi Vancanze - Agriturismo; Domande Impiego; Formazione - Stage - Offerte; Rappresentanza Offerte - Franchising; Auto - Moto - Nautica; Aziende Forniture - Servizi - Applicazioni Web; Finanza - Leasing - Assicurazioni; Trasporti - Noleggio; Arte - Mostre - Antiquariato; Cinema - Teatro - Musica; Eventi - Fiere - Convegni; Varie; Necrologie

Review
"So you thought information technology in the form of 'e-government' would save taxpayer dollars, improve government performance, increase transparency and accountability, and promote democratic participation--and all in a hurry too? Some first-rate scholars of the subject show how the several truths about these matters are much more complicated, and the reasons for them sometimes paradoxical."--Eugene Bardach, Department of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley Book
Description
Developments in information and communication technology and networked computing over the past two decades have given rise to the notion of electronic government, most commonly used to refer to the delivery of public services over the Internet. This volume argues for a shift from the narrow focus of "electronic government" on technology and transactions to the broader perspective of information government--the information flows within the public sector, between the public sector and citizens, and among citizens--as a way to understand the changing nature of governing and governance in an information society. The chapters discuss the interplay between recent technological developments and evolving information flows, and the implications of different information flows for efficiency, political mobilization, and democratic accountability. The chapters are accompanied by short case studies from around the world, which cover such topics as electronic government efforts in Singapore and Switzerland, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's effort to solicit input on planned regulations over the Internet, and online activism "cyberprotesting" globalization.

La Lego e l’USI costruiscono “ponti” online
Il New MinE Lab della Facoltà di comunicazione e trivioquadrivio, società di consulenza strategica e di formazione manageriale di Milano, hanno avviato un progetto di ricerca congiunto per sviluppare un nuovo modulo Lego Serious Play™, l’innovativa metodologia di sviluppo organizzativo fondata sull’impiego dei celebri mattoncini Lego®.
Obiettivo della ricerca è la progettazione di un modulo dedicato a facilitare la comunicazione fra committenti e sviluppatori di applicazioni online, come per esempio siti web, applicazioni di eLearning, eCommerce, gestione digitale dei documenti e così via.
Il nuovo strumento sviluppato da New MinE Lab e trivioquadrivio – denominato provvisariomente REAL TIME WEB – affiancherà quelli esistenti: Real Time Identity e Real Time Strategy, sviluppati originariamente all’IMD Business School di Losanna.
I workshop Lego Serious Play™, in cui vengono utilizzati i moduli, sono realizzati in esclusiva da una rete di 46 partner attivi in 21 paesi del mondo. Trivioquadrivio fa parte di questo network dal 2003, e nel 2005 è stata nominata best partner world wide. Da quest’anno fa parte del gioco anche il New MinE Lab dell’Università della Svizzera italiana.

sulla storia di "Shibboleth"
e nella sua origine biblica, dal Libro dei Giudici (cap. 12):
[1] Ora gli uomini di Efraim si radunarono, passarono il fiume verso Zafon e dissero a Iefte: "Perché sei andato a combattere contro gli Ammoniti e non ci hai chiamati con te? Noi bruceremo te e la tua casa".
[2] Iefte rispose loro: "Io e il mio popolo abbiamo avuto grandi lotte con gli Ammoniti; quando vi ho chiamati in aiuto, non siete venuti a liberarmi dalle loro mani.
[3] Vedendo che voi non venivate in mio aiuto, ho esposto al pericolo la vita, ho marciato contro gli Ammoniti e il Signore me li ha messi nelle mani. Perché dunque siete venuti oggi contro di me a muovermi guerra?".
[4] Iefte, radunati tutti gli uomini di Gàlaad, diede battaglia ad Efraim; gli uomini di Gàlaad sconfissero gli Efraimiti, perché questi dicevano: "Voi siete fuggiaschi di Efraim; Gàlaad sta in mezzo a Efraim e in mezzo a Manàsse".
[5] I Galaaditi intercettarono agli Efraimiti i guadi del Giordano; quando uno dei fuggiaschi di Efraim diceva: "Lasciatemi passare", gli uomini di Gàlaad gli chiedevano: "Sei un Efraimita?". Se quegli rispondeva: "No",
[6] i Galaaditi gli dicevano: "Ebbene, dì Scibbolet", e quegli diceva Sibbolet, non sapendo pronunciare bene. Allora lo afferravano e lo uccidevano presso i guadi del Giordano. In quella occasione perirono quarantaduemila uomini di Efraim.
[7] Iefte fu giudice d'Israele per sei anni. Poi Iefte, il Galaadita, morì e fu sepolto nella sua città in Gàlaad.
