Mtn Bike Tourism - Redefining Our Story / Critical Success Factors - Ray Free...Ray Freeman
Mountain bike tourism may provide significant benefit to communities, however, community planners should be cognizant of applicable Critical Success Factors necessary to ensure the execution of a sustainable mountain bike tourism development strategy which meets visitor expectations and reflects community values. The benefits to those communities which get the mix and application of factors correct may include: increased opportunities for recreational mountain biking for diverse participant populations, increased destination awareness, increased revenues, development of community infrastructure, support for community social development, creation of social capital, improved competitiveness, and the promotion of local characteristics.
For communities developing mountain bike tourism in British Columbia, the next challenges remain to maintain the building of momentum while ensuring the sustainability of social, cultural, environmental, and fiscal factor attributes. Consideration of locally prevalent Critical Success Factors and the development and execution of a community mountain bike tourism strategy using the CSFs with a structured planning framework may assist community planners and stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes for community participants and visitors alike. Leading-edge research now allows communities to leverage this strategic planning approach through the use of social media infrastructure and emerging storytelling frameworks with support through non-traditional partnerships and the tourism network system.

The monitoring process includes planning, identifying key issues, developing indicators, collecting and evaluating data, responding to results, and communicating findings to stakeholders.
This study investigated complementary feeding practices for children in their first year of life in Botucatu, Brazil. The researchers interviewed 1,238 caregivers of children under 1 year old during a vaccination campaign. They found that complementary foods were introduced early, leading to low rates of exclusive breastfeeding under 4 months (36.9%). Children under 4 months commonly consumed tea (30.7%) and fruits (54.1%). Food given to children was often inappropriate for their age, such as family foods given to children aged 6-8 months (48.8%) and soup given to over 8 months (71.6%). The findings suggest interventions are needed in the city to promote proper complementary feeding practices.
The document discusses how enterprise learning is transforming from traditional classroom-based training to virtual and social learning models due to advances in technology. It describes how learning content is moving online and becoming more visual, interactive and accessible on-demand. Analytics are also being used to track learning effectiveness.

Some slides from a Bioenergetic Psychology ProgamWalty1970
This document introduces BioEnergetic Psychology and discusses how beliefs affect various aspects of life. It notes that beliefs manifest throughout the body according to research. Changing beliefs can alter thought patterns and behaviors. The document discusses how the subconscious mind, which processes information much faster than the conscious mind, stores beliefs and has enormous capacity. Muscle testing is presented as an effective way to access and change subconscious beliefs by determining if the body agrees or disagrees with statements at the subconscious level. Myths about difficulty and time needed to change beliefs are debunked, stating that like changing a computer document, beliefs can change quickly once the underlying energy field is altered.
Toxic Inheritance – More Than 300 Pollutants In Breast Milk – Time For A New ...Biblioteca Virtual
The document summarizes a study that analyzed scientific literature on chemical pollutants detected in breast milk. Over 300 pollutants have been found in more than 40,000 breast milk samples tested in Germany since 1980. This includes substances that were banned decades ago but persist in the environment and accumulate in fatty tissues. Exposure occurs not just through breastfeeding but also prenatally, as chemicals can transfer from a mother's blood to her unborn baby. The contamination of breast milk is concerning given its importance for infant health and development. However, breastfeeding should not be discouraged. The findings emphasize the need to reform chemical policy like the proposed EU REACH legislation to better regulate the testing and use of chemicals.
