Source text - English [...]One day last month, Baysie took me on a coolhunt to the Bronx and Harlem, lugging a big black canvas bag with twenty-four different shoes that Reebok is about to bring out, and as we drove down Fordham Road, she had her head out the window like a little kid, checking out what everyone on the street was wearing. We went to Dr. Jay's, which is the cool place to buy sneakers in the Bronx, and Baysie crouched down on the floor and started pulling the shoes out of her bag one by one, soliciting opinions from customers who gathered around and asking one question after another, in rapid sequence. One guy she listened closely to was maybe eighteen or nineteen, with a diamond stud in his ear and a thin beard. He was wearing a Polo baseball cap, a brown leather jacket, and the big oversized leather boots that are everywhere uptown right now. Baysie would hand him a shoe and he would hold it, look at the top and move it up and down. The first one he didn't like:"ohkay". The second one he hated: he made a growling sound in his throat even before Baysie could give it to him, as if to say:" Put it back in the bag now!"But when she handed him a new DMX RXT -a low-cut run shoe in white and blue and with a translucent "ice" sole, which retails for a 110 $- he looked at it long and hard and shook his head in pure admiration and just said two words:" no doubt". Baysie was interested in what he was saying, because the DMX RXT she had was a girls' shoe that actually hadn't been doing all that well. Later she explained to me that the fact that the boys loved the shoe was critical news, because it suggested that Reebok had a potential hit if it just switched the shoe to the men's section. How she managed to distill all this information from the crowd of teenagers around her, how she made any sense of the two dozens shoes in her bag, most of which (to my eyes anyway) looked pretty much the same, and how she knew which of the teens to really focus on was a mystery.
Translation - Italian Il mese scorso, Baysie mi ha portato con lei per un coolhunting nel Bronx e Harlem. Trascinava una grossa borsa di tela nera con 24 tipi diversi di scarpe che la Reebok sta per mettere in commercio e appena imboccata la Fordham Road, ha messo la testa fuori come una bambina facendo caso a tutto ciò che indossava la gente per strada. Siamo andati da Dr. Jay’s che è il posto cool dove comprare scarpe da ginnastica nel Bronx. Baysie si è accovacciata sul pavimento e ha iniziato a tirare fuori le scarpe dalla borsa una ad una, sollecitando le opinioni dei clienti radunatisi intorno a lei che facevano domande in rapida sequenza. Lei ascoltava attentamente un ragazzo che doveva avere 18 o 19 anni, con un diamantino all’orecchio e la barba rada. Indossava un cappello da baseball Polo, una giacca di pelle marrone e un paio di stivali di pelle oversize che adesso, si vedono ovunque in città . Baysie gli passò una scarpa che lui prese e iniziò a squadrare dall’alto in basso rigirandosela tra le mani. La prima non gli piaceva “ohkay.” La seconda la detestava: emise un suono roco e gutturale ancor prima che Baysie potesse passargliela come per dire: “rimettila nella borsa adesso!”. Ma quando gli passò una delle nuove DMX RXT – una scarpa bassa da corsa in blu e bianco con una suola color ghiaccio traslucida che al dettaglio sta a 110 $- la guardò a lungo e con interesse, scuotendo la testa in pura ammirazione e disse solo due parole: “non c’è dubbio”. Baysie era interessata a quello che lui diceva perché la DMX RXT che aveva con sé era una scarpa da donna che in verità non andava molto bene. In seguito mi spiegò che il fatto che i ragazzi apprezzassero le scarpe da donna era un dato cruciale perché suggeriva il potenziale successo che la Reebok avrebbe avuto se avesse reso quella scarpa un articolo da uomo. Come fosse riuscita ad estrapolare questa informazione dalla folla di teenagers intorno a lei, come fosse riuscita a gestire quelle due dozzine di scarpe nella sua borsa, molte delle quali (almeno ai miei occhi) sembravano piuttosto simili tra loro e come potesse sapere quali fossero i ragazzi ai quali dare retta, rimaneva comunque un mistero.

Il tema delle città rurali del mondo che vogliamo promuovere ha l’obiettivo di portare il mondo a seguire un modello naturale in stretta armonia con le esigenze di sviluppo della società umana. Il significato di “sconfinato” è lo sviluppo ininterrotto della civiltà umana in cui il ruolo fondamentale è giocato dalle costruzioni e i suggerimenti sul piano artistico e culturale.

Definizione dell’incarico
Background e obiettivi:
In occasione del 40° anniversario delle relazioni diplomatiche tra Cina e Italia, il Ministero dell’Economia e delle Finanze durante l’anno culturale della Cina in Italia, organizzerà la “Mostra per i risultati dei 30 anni di cooperazione finanziaria sino-italiana”. La Mostra e’ divisa in quattro sezioni: collaborazioni, successi, costanti sviluppi e reciproci vantaggi. Attraverso la combinazione di immagini e testo si vuole dare una vivida e accurata immagine dei contenuti con particolare attenzione ai risultati ottenuti dalla cooperazione bilaterale finanziaria sino-italiana a partire alla riforma di apertura, ai programmi chiave delle varie fasi di sviluppo della cooperazione finanziaria sino-italiana, dando risalto alla cooperazione a partire dalla fase iniziale per ovviare alla scarsità di fondi, alla fase intermedia di apporto di nuove attrezzature tecnologiche, fino ad arrivare alla fase attuale di promozione della conoscenza dei contenuti della cooperazione, che nelle varie fasi hanno contribuito allo sviluppo della società e dell’economia del paese e delle relazioni tra i due paesi.
Attraverso l’esposizione dei successi che la Cina è riuscita ad ottenere utilizzando gli aiuti finanziari forniti dal governo italiano, si vuole promuovere il rafforzamento dei contatti ad alto livello tra i due paesi, il consolidamento dei rapporti di cooperazione tra i due paesi, l’ampliamento della collaborazione operativa tra i due paesi per la formazione professionale nei settori ambientale, medico e culturale, la promozione della cooperazione finanziaria in Italia a tutti i livelli, il rafforzamento degli scambi, la realizzazione del mutuo profitto, la promozione dei rapporti amichevoli tra i popoli dei due paesi.
Ricevuta l’autorizzazione del Ministero delle Finanze, l’ufficio per il programma di sviluppo della cooperazione sino-italiana (di seguito denominata Uff. sino-italiano), è responsabile della pratica realizzazione dell’evento in oggetto. Pertanto ricerca un’agenzia specializzata (di seguito denominata allestitore) a cui affidare la concreta organizzazione della manifestazione.
Obiettivo dell’incarico
L’agenzia dovrà fornire i servizi di seguito elencati:
Raccolta Materiale: raccolta del materiale relativo ai contenuti della mostra da utilizzare per la realizzazione dell’esposizione.
Progetto di allestimento: progetto grafico della mostra
Da realizzare per la mostra: Fotografie per la mostra, comprendenti una presentazione/didascalia in cinese e italiano. E’ necessario che ogni opera/pezzo possa essere smontato e successivamente rimontato. Lo spazio sara’ di 300 metri quadrati, con un allestimento di 90 metri lineari. Il contenuto delle foto verterà sulla cooperazione sino-italiana, incluse le tenute dalle alte cariche di entrambi i Paesi, i progetti di cooperazione bilaterale, e i successi della cooperazione ed altri temi.
Allestimento e smantellamento: la durata dell’evento sara’ di 3 giorni (compreso il giorno della cerimonia di apertura)
Allestimento: i lavori dovranno essere conclusi un giorno prima dell’inaugurazione. Dovra’ inoltre essere garantito un regolare funzionamento di tutta la strumentazione.
Smantellamento: lo smantellamento di tutta la mostra avverra’ entro un giorno dopo la chiusura dell’evento.
N.B.: il costo per lo staff addetto all’allestimento e allo smantellamento deve essere incluso nel preventivo totale, evidenziandone il costo unitario.
L’allestitore dovrà designare un grafico e altro personale incaricato della gestione del progetto per l’esecuzione del servizio. Il responsabile del progetto avrà l’obbligo di coordinarsi con l’ufficio per la Cooperazione Sino Italiana durante le fasi di sviluppo del progetto quando necessario e nei tempi richiesti mantenendo i contatti attraverso colloqui telefonici, e-mail oppure riunioni ufficiali. Qualsiasi suggerimento o modifica dovranno essere sottoposti a verifica della Coop. Sino-Italiana. Lo staff dovra’ provvedere ai cambiamenti a seguito delle richieste che perverranno dalla Coop. Sino-italiana.
Le attivita’ sopra esposte saranno svolte sotto la completa supervisione della Coop. Sino-italiana e i servizi forniti dall’agenzia necessiteranno di conferma da parte della Coop. Sino-italiana.
