How can municipalities in Central Europe create favourable conditions for local business? What and how can municipalities learn from each other? How can each individual in the local area contribute? And what requirements have to be met before know-how can successfully be transferred on a communal level? To answer all these questions, the authors of this book draw on results from a six-year research programme and comprehensively discuss the manifold opportunities, restrictions and prerequisites of establishing favourable conditions for small and medium enterprises in rural municipalities in Central Europe.

Community-based Entrepreneurship and Rural Development: Creating Favourable Conditions for Small Businesses in Central Europe (Regions and Cities)

Reference

Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Rural Europe investigates how social entrepreneurship advances social innovation in rural Europe and contributes to fighting social and economic challenges in these regions. Based on longitudinal data collected in four European countries, this book explains how social enterprises enact their business model based on an entrepreneurial reconfiguration of resources they obtain from their network relations, and how their activities empower local communities, driving change and eventually innovation. In these activities, the entrepreneurial mindset and the role as intermediary between different groups and domains of society help to reframe challenges into opportunities. The argument in this book develops from a description of what social enterprises report to do to an analysis of how they do it, and results in an explanation of why they take these actions. In doing so it gradually broadens the view from a focus on the social enterprises themselves to their interactions and network partners and, finally, to their positioning in societal fields. The presented model complements network theory with the concept of strategic action fields. This book reveals the crucial role of social entrepreneurship in innovation in rural regions, and the rich insights provided have far reaching implications for research, practice and policy. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the interface of social entrepreneurship, innovation, and regional/rural development, either on a practical or academic level.

ABOUT THE BOOK: This book is the culmination of investigative methods, interview techniques, case assessment and reporting applications that Mr. Lang has developed during his 30-year quest to understand the UFO Phenomena. In an effort to encourage investigators to look at a broader spectrum of evidence he presents practical objective investigative methodology, while exploring the high strangeness that is so often associated with UFO reports and then sharing his thoughts about how it all relates to Human consciousness.

This book was written for the general public, who may be interested in the UFO subject but may not know a lot about it. Unlike my first book, which was written to provide advance technical training for UFO investigators and individuals who have been involved in UFO research for many years, this book is written in general terms to permute public understanding. If you are a newcomer interested in UFOs, you need the history lesson to understand the whole picture. The UFO story is not at all new, although many recent newspaper reports and public disclosures, which have been released over the last four years would lead most people to think that this is something new that just recently started to emerge. You need to understand that in fact this is not the case! The first part of this manuscript was created to walk the reader through a series of historical events relating to UFOs, that started in back in the 1940s, and lead to development of highly classified secret research projects over the last 75 years. Hopefully this will provide some insight into how the secrecy surrounding UFOs started and evolved over the years. Next looking at the covert government operations and how they classified and manipulated UFO technology, working closely with defense contractors, ultimately keeping it hidden from congress as well as the American people. I think it is important for the public to understand how much has happened over the last 75 years involving secret research and advancements in technology that used funding from covert government tax sources and allowed the Military Industrial Contractors, through the use of misplaced power as President Eisenhower said, to have total control and make billions of dollars for their own interests. I believe we are coming to critical point where the greatest mystery in human history is about to be unveiled through a slow and systematic release of information and disclosure about UFOs.

Seeing Who You Really Are: A Modern Guide to Your True Identity

Watkins Pub Ltd

Douglas harding (1909–2007) began asking the question 'Who am I?' as a young man. Rejecting his father's fundamentalist religion he decided to put aside what he'd been told about himself and look for himself at his identity. Harding made an astonishing discovery – his body was not just his human frame but was a many-levelled system ranging from the most distant galaxy to the nearest particle. At the centre of this all-inclusive onion-like structure Harding found his True Self, the formless Reality behind all his appearances. Harding wrote many books about 'who we really are', exploring its profound implications in our lives and its connection with the core message of the world's great religions. He also invented experiments that point directly to the 'headless' Reality at our centre. Harding's work is a paradigm shift, a leap into a profoundly new way of seeing ourselves. This graphic biography reveals who this great man was and what he discovered.

Douglas Harding (1909-2007) iniziò chiedersi 'Chi sono io?' ancora quando era un ragazzo. Dopo aver rifiutato la religione fondamentlista del padre decise di mettere da parte quello che gli era stato detto riguardo a se stesso e di guardare in prima persona. Harding fece una stupefacente scoperta - il suo corpo non consisteva solo nella sua struttura umana ma era un sistema multilivello che andava dalla più distante galassia fino alla più vicina particella. Al centro di questa struttura omnicoprensiva simile a una cipolla arding trovò il suo Vero Sé, la Realtà senza forma presente dietro tutte le sue apparenze. Harding scrisse molti libri riguardanti 'chi siamo noi veramente' esaminando le sue profonde affermazioni nelle nostre vite e la loro connessione con il messaggio centrale delle grandi religioni del mondo. Egli inventò anche degli esperimenti che indicano direttamente la Realtà 'senza testa' nel nostro centro. Il lavoro di Harding è un cambiamento di paradigma, un salto in un modo completamente nuovo di vedere noi stessi. Questa biografia grafica rivela chi era questo grande uomo e che cosa ha scoperto
