This document discusses Christmas traditions in Mexico, including La piñata, La Rosca de Reyes, and Las posadas. It also encourages practicing Spanish by singing Feliz Navidad, the lyrics of which wish someone a Merry Christmas from the bottom of the heart.
This document summarizes information presented by Jari Makkonen of Finpro about opportunities for tourism from China to Finland's Saimaa region. It notes that China is Finpro Asia's largest market, with over 60% of its volume, and that its main services include identifying the right markets and partners. It also provides statistics on China's booming outbound tourism, with the number of travelers abroad expected to reach 100 million by 2020. However, it acknowledges some challenges to attracting Chinese tourists to Saimaa, such as its unknown status in China and lack of amenities like Chinese food or guidance. An adapted "force field analysis" weighs factors for and against Chinese tourism to the region.

The document discusses transportation costs for soybeans from Iowa to China compared to costs from Brazil. Transportation costs make up a larger percentage of total costs for Brazilian soybeans due to higher domestic transportation costs. The document also discusses how the expansion of the Panama Canal could impact transportation efficiency and notes several US inland waterways that transport large amounts of grain and other commodities. It warns that the aging locks and dams on these waterways present a risk to agriculture if they experience failures or closures due to lack of funding for repairs and updates.

It also examines how the film represents social groups as a working class family and its target audience of teenagers. The document considers appropriate media institutions for distribution and promotion strategies to attract the intended audience.

The document discusses the growing number of non-human devices connecting to mobile networks compared to human users. It notes that delivering contextual content and services across different platforms will depend on relevance for users, with competition for attention through ambient media. The social aspects of data are becoming less important than what can be done by analyzing, filtering, combining and personalizing the data. It advocates for creating "Story Systems" that allow content and context to create meaning across devices. Finally, it provides contact information for mobile consultancy, creative strategy, multi-platform content production and creativity/innovation workshops.
This document discusses a research project that used biographic narrative interpretative method (BNIM) interviews to explore first-year student experiences and sense of belonging at three London universities. It provides background on the challenges of developing a sense of belonging at diverse urban universities. The research methodology included a questionnaire and qualitative BNIM interviews to understand students' narratives of belonging. An excerpt from one interview, called "The Boxer," is presented which shows the student's combative narrative style drawing on boxing analogies.
This is a report drawing upon the research carried out for the 'Student Sense of Belonging' project, a collaboration between researchers in London Universities interested in the first year experience. This report provides interim observations with reference to a three-university study into the implications of students’ sense of belonging in UK tertiary education. The study employs a survey measurement based on the Psychological Sense of School Membership (Goodenow, 1993), which was administered to over 1,300 first-year, first-semester students. To enrich the survey data, descriptions related to the ‘sense of belonging’ phenomenon were recorded via the Biographic Narrative Interpretive Method (Wengraf, 2007) and will be subject to further analysis via this method in later stages of the project. Initial findings include emergent themes and practice-based opportunities to increase students’ sense of belonging. Appendix A (p 10 onwards) will be of interest to those seeking international student views on the induction process.
