After more than eight decades of serv- ing Norwegian immigrants on the South Da- kota prairie, a one-room country schoolhouse built in 1883 begins a new life in Norway. This is a personal story. It begins in 2000 when Richard Christopher of Letcher, Sanborn County, about 22 miles northwest of Mitchell, read my query in a publica- tion seeking information about an obscure Norwegian-American photographer, O.S. Leeland, who had operated portrait studios in nearby Mount Vernon and Mitchell, S.D. The correspondence that ensued be- tween Christopher and me, at the time a New York City curator and writer who had collected early real photo postcards by Lee- land, ended with a visit when I attended Memorial Day services at Trinity Lutheran Church and cemetery. At that time, I was amazed to find a one-room school in Chris- topher’s backyard. Christopher loved the school that he had attended through the eighth grade. When the Elliott township school district was consoli- dated in 1968, Leet School, like so much in rural America, became a useless anachro- nism.

It provides insights into challenges and success factors of strategic planning, the importance of a local tourism network and how strategy monitoring can provide motivation and engagement from stakeholders. The research is drawn from current the strategy documents and from primary research done by interviewing a small sample of core stakeholders, the tourism operators, in each destination. The findings are then supported with existing tourism literature, and as well business literature to be able to reflect on similar challenges from another perspective. The research adopts a qualitative framework, where in-depth semi-structured interviews are used to gain understanding of the relationship between stakeholders and strategy.

  • To Analyze Thrill, Define Extreme Sports
    fpsyg-09-01216 July 21, 2018 Time: 15:45 # 1 ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 24 July 2018 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01216 To Analyze Thrill, Define Extreme Sports Ralf C. Buckley* International Chair in Ecotourism Research, Griffith University, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia Emotions are a signaling system, evolved by providing selective advantage through enhanced survival and reproduction. The selective advantage conferred by thrill or exhilaration, however, remains unknown. Hypotheses, as yet untested, include overcoming phobias or honing physical skills as juveniles, or exhibiting desirability during mate selection. Extreme sports can provide an ethically and experimentally feasible tool to analyze thrill. To use this tool, extreme sports must first be defined in a non-circular way, independent of participant psychology. Existing concepts, from different disciplines, focus, respectively, on drama, activity types, or consequences of error. Here, I draw upon academic and popular literature, and autoethnographic experience, to distinguish extreme from adventurous levels for a range of different outdoor sports. I conclude that extreme outdoor adventure sports can be defined objectively as those activities, conditions, and levels, where participant survival relies on moment-by-moment skill, and any error is likely to prove fatal. This allows us to examine the motivations, experiences, and transformations of individuals who undertake these activities. In particular, it will Edited by: Eric Brymer, allow us to examine the emotional experience of thrill, previously studied principally as Leeds Beckett University, an aspect of personality, from new neurophysiological and evolutionary perspectives.

Extreme sports can provide an analytical tool to answer that question.
