One of the main problems faced by small rural farming units is to develop and implement managerial models that contribute to leverage their natural potential and boost their productive development. In order to mitigate the impact of this problem, a cross-section, exploratorydescriptive, non-experimental and prospective research was carried on, between 2008 and 2011. The main propose of this research was to design a model for autonomous development which integrates the public, private and academic sectors in order to ensure the use of the resources in a sustainable and competitive manner taking into account agricultural practices, water resources, technological park, non-traditional activities (tourism and aquaculture ) and government public policies. ; Uno de los principales problemas que enfrentan las pequeñas unidades agrícolas rurales es establecer e implementar un modelo de gestión que aproveche sus potencialidades e impulse su desarrollo productivo. Con miras a suplir dicha carencia, se realizó una investigación de tipo transversal, exploratoria-descriptiva, no experimental y prospectiva entre los años 2008 y 2011. Su finalidad principal fue generar un modelo de desarrollo para una entidad autónoma e integrar tres sectores (público, privado y académico) de tal manera que garantizaran el aprovechamiento de los recursos de manera sostenible y competitiva, a partir del desarrollo de la vocación agropecuaria, el recurso hídrico, el parque tecnológico, las actividades no tradicionales (turismo y acuicultura) y la gestión pública

AbstractWe use new individual‐level data from MasterChef, a television show in the United States in order to objectively capture situations of fear of failure. We codify situations in which the contestants are on the verge of being eliminated from competition and situations where they explicitly express fear of failing. These new data have the distinct advantage of being purely objective. We cover ten seasons, from 2010 to 2020 and include nearly 200 observations to study the role of fear of failure on performance. Using ordinary least squares, we show that extreme fear of failure is associated with an increase of two to four positions in the final placement of the cooking competition. This positive link between fear of failure and performance tends to contradict the conventional wisdom in both psychology and behavioral economics that such a link tends to be negative. Our findings are robust to broad changes in specification.

"Within the Shadow of "I do" is an amazing story of strength, courage, suffering and triumph, as the author shares her unbelievable memories of how she was able to stay in a marriage for more than 4 decades to a monster who tormented and abused her... mentally and emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Beverly Chong did everything she could to keep the vows she had made to this man, for better or for worse, because she knew how sacred the vows were to her God. She believed in the sanctity of marriage, and she believed God would see her through. Beverly fought hard for years to turn her cheek and look the other way, and to pray and bear it, even after her children were born. Then she vowed to keep them safe from her abuser for many years thereafter. Until that day she knew she could take it no more, and she literally ran away from home ...thousands of miles away with just the clothes on her back. The long, painful months Beverly spent on her knees, healing and praying, eventually gave her the courage to journal her journey, which is now this amazing book Within the Shadow of "I do". Her greatest hope is that her story will help in aiding other women with their own struggles of abuse and to guide them to the only One who can give them the strength they will need to endure it all... Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior"--

"This book covers Singapore's key arts policies and art institutions which have shaped the cultural landscape of the country from the 1950s to the present. The scholars and experts in this volume critically assess arts policies and arts institutions to collectively provide an overview of how arts and culture have been deployed by the state. The chapters are arranged chronologically to cover milestone events from the forging of 'Malayan culture'; the government's 'anti-yellow culture' campaign; the use of 'culture' for tourism; the setting up of the Advisory Council on Arts and Culture, the Renaissance City Report, the setting up of the School of the Arts, and others. Putting to rest the notion that Singapore is a 'cultural desert', this volume is valuable reading for students of cultural policy, policy makers who seek an understanding of Singapore's cultural trajectory, and for international readers interested in Singapore's arts and cultural policy."--Publisher's website.
