1) MyTripStory is a service that helps travelers create exciting stories of their trips automatically using data from their smartphones, social media, and other sources.
2) Two experiments - interviews and a survey - found that active cultural tourists would most likely use the service and pay for printed storybooks or a monthly subscription.
3) The target market is estimated at $53.8 million serving 11 million active tourists who use travel apps, with an estimated 27% annual growth rate.
Sustainable Development: On the Dilemma of a Definition - Aus196 Oladele O. A...deremi
This document summarizes a paper that examines the definition of sustainable development. It begins by providing context on the origins of the term in the 1987 Brundtland Commission report. The paper then discusses how Herman Daly criticized the definition as vague in 1996. It explores how the term has since been applied broadly to many areas. The document analyzes the pros and cons of the existing definition, and suggests the need to reexamine the definition to focus on its goals in today's context. It aims to open debate on a potential new consensus definition of sustainable development.
The document discusses the upcoming UN agreement on a new post-2015 development agenda to replace the MDGs. It will cover sustainable development, poverty eradication, inequality reduction, and environmental challenges. The 17 proposed SDGs are presented. The UN will support implementation through its MAPS strategy of mainstreaming the agenda nationally, accelerating progress, and providing policy support. Means of implementation like financing will be critical to discuss at the upcoming Financing for Development conference. Civil society has an important role to play in supporting governments' implementation efforts.
The document reports on testing and pivoting the initial idea of MyTripStory, a service to help travelers create stories of their trips. Through user interviews and surveys, it was found that most users did not want to spend much time writing stories and preferred easy templates. The idea was pivoted to focus on active tourists who want colorful, snapshot-style trip stories without extensive writing. A final idea is presented where MyTripStory automatically generates stories from trip data like locations, photos and facts, allowing users to easily get exciting stories of their journeys with minimal effort.
PublicationRBM Enhanced Policy Procedures in the UN: UNESCO\'s Casederemi
This document summarizes the impact of Results-Based Management (RBM) on policy planning and reporting within the United Nations, with a focus on UNESCO. RBM has grown as an important management tool to foster strategic planning, program monitoring, and evaluation. While its application has progressed within UNESCO, further steps are needed. Member State involvement in ownership and engagement is critical to achieving reform objectives. The success of RBM depends on inclusiveness, ownership, and all stakeholders understanding the process.
This document discusses UNESCO's adoption of results-based management (RBM) as part of UN reforms. It summarizes key milestones in implementing RBM at UNESCO, including training staff and establishing RBM focal points, and influencing policy planning and debates. Charts are presented showing how RBM has changed the presentation of UNESCO's medium-term strategy and program budget documents to focus on expected results, indicators, and benchmarks rather than process. The findings recommend continuing and improving RBM training for member state officials to further institutionalize a results culture across UNESCO programs and activities.
The document discusses how combining training for pool and gym staff could help ensure adequate response in the event of a major emergency at the facility. It notes that currently only 3 people on average are trained to handle major incidents, but an optimal response requires at least 3 people. Combining staff training in CPR and use of the AED could provide more people prepared to respond without any additional costs. This would help ensure patrons receive necessary care quickly in an emergency until paramedics arrive.

The document reports on testing an idea for a service called MyTripStory, which allows travelers to create stories about their trips. After initial interviews and surveys, the team found that most users don't need detailed statistics and want easy-to-create styled reports. The idea was refined to target active tourists who want colorful, template-based stories without much effort. Competitor research was conducted. The final value proposition is a service that uses manually and automatically collected trip data to generate stories, infographics, or books with minimal user time.
The document discusses using magazines and books in the ESL classroom. It describes how magazines provide authentic materials that can inspire a variety of motivating activities to develop students' language skills. Pictures from magazines can stimulate discussions and introduce topics like colors, clothing, and transportation. Books are also discussed as being crucial for education and providing knowledge. Different approaches for teaching literature, such as cultural and language models, are described. The document provides tips for selecting materials and adapting texts and activities to suit different student levels.
Development Management And The Political Economy Of Africa’S Renewalderemi
This dissertation examines development management in Africa and its evolution with international norms and policies. It is divided into three parts.
