Mycosphere 6(3), 356–384, doi 10.5943/mycosphere/6/3/11 Abstract A total of 299 substrate samples collected throughout the Sultanate of Oman were analyzed for myxomycetes and myxomycete-like organisms (MMLO) with a combined approach, preparing one moist chamber culture and one agar culture for each sample. We recovered 8 forms of Myxobacteria, 2 sorocarpic amoebae (Acrasids), 19 known and 6 unknown taxa of protostelioid amoebae (Protostelids), and 50 species of Myxomycetes. Moist chambers and agar cultures completed each other. No method alone can detect the whole diversity of myxomycetes as the most species-rich group of MMLO. A significant overlap between the two methods was observed only for Myxobacteria and some myxomycetes with small sporocarps.

    Neuanfang – oder die Frage nach dem Warum Die Welt mit jeder Reise einen Schritt besser machen. Unser Manifest Neuanfang – oder die Frage nach dem Warum … Neuanfang? Ist es berechtigt in dieser Zeit von einem Neuanfang zu sprechen? Ich meine Ja. Wir erleben gerade eine der schwersten Krisen der letzten Jahrzehnte, die mich und meine Firma zutiefst getroffen hat. Eine Krise stellt Fragen an uns, geht an unsere Substanz. Auf was haben wir unser Haus des Lebens gebaut? Hält unsere Vision, unser Lebensentwurf? Krise kommt vom griechischen Wort krynein, was soviel wie Ent- scheidungszeit bedeutet. Krisen sind Zeiten der Ent – Täuschung – wo haben wir uns getäuscht oder täuschen lassen? Krisen sind der ultimative „reality check“ unseres Lebens. Vielleicht ging es Ihnen ähnlich in dieser Zeit? Was hat die Krise zu Ihnen gesagt, welche Antworten haben Sie gefunden? Die Frage, die diese Krise an mich gestellt hat, war die „Warum-Frage“. Warum mache ich das, was ich mache? Warum gibt es Hauser? Warum arbeite ich im Tourismus, obwohl das nie mein Wunsch war? Einige Auswüchse der Tourismusindustrie waren mir schon früh suspekt, lehne ich auch heute noch ab und ich weiß, dass auch in unserem Kundenkreis viele diese Skepsis teilen. Ich wollte mit meiner Arbeit und meinem Leben die Welt besser machen. Mir war es immer wichtig einen Beitrag zu leisten, auch wenn das vielleicht naiv und pathe- tisch klingt. Aber die letzten Wochen haben mir gezeigt, dass dieses Bedürfnis zutiefst in mir steckt und mich stetig antreibt. Das war auch immer mein Wunsch mit Hauser Exkursionen. Wir als Team erleben gerade mehr denn je was uns antreibt und worauf es uns ankommt: Zusammenhalt, das Gespräch mit Ihnen, die Hoffnung in die Zukunft.

    ewew NN ealandealand ZZCities by the Sea By Monica Frim Photography by Monica and John Frim Maurice Shadbolt, the enigmatic writer whose works of fiction and non-fiction greatly illuminated New Zealand culture and social history, wryly didn’t seem to care for the cities of his homeland. In the 1950s, he wrote that New Zealand’s cities “were among the most joyless in human history.” Now, some 60 years later, I’d venture he’d eat those words. We were meandering about the city of Auckland reminiscing about the change that Splayed across some 50 volcanic cones that taper into a skinny neck of land flanked by two had taken place since our first visit more than 30 years ago. At that time, Auckland was large harbours, Auckland is defined by its volcanic bumps and watery indentations. The dormant partway through a major facelift that had many residents and onlookers scratching volcanoes have been turned into city parks like Eden Hill, One Tree Hill, and the Auckland Domain. Protected from their heads in dismay. The new developments took place with little architectural and development, these lush green parklands provide panoramic views over the city and harbor. design control. While some historical buildings were lovingly restored and refurbished, If a city can be both lax and urbane, Auckland is it. Artsy shops, swanky restaurants and world-class museums others fell to the wrecking ball to be replaced by a shuffle of mismatched high rises and galleries co-exist among parklands and walking trails that spider along the waterfront and up the slopes of that elicited complaints about newly created shadows and wind tunnels.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Lauda Evgenia Amey ON A QUEST FOR AUTHENTICITY TO AN IMAGINARY PLACE: A NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE EXPERIENCES OF BRITISH LITERARY TOURISTS Pro gradu thesis Tourism Research, EMACIM Spring 2015 University of Lapland, Faculty of Social Sciences Title: On a Quest for Authenticity to an Imaginary Place: A Narrative Analysis of the Experiences of British Literary Tourists Author: Evgenia Amey Degree program/Field of study: EMACIM, Tourism Research The type of the work: pro gradu thesis Number of pages: 120 Year: 2015 Summary: Literary tourism is a sub-sector of cultural tourism and relates to travelling to places connected to fictional texts and the authors of those texts. Although it is an old form of tourism and lies at the foundation of classic European Grand Tour, it has not received much academic attention until recently and a number of qualitative studies on literary tourist experiences is still limited. The general aim of this study is to address the lack of knowledge on literary tourist experiences by analysing the role of authenticity in literary tourist experience through the analysis of literary tourists‟ accounts of their literary trips. The scientific objective is to explore the connection between the imagination and authenticity at literary tourism sites. An ongoing discourse on authenticity in tourism saw the emergence of different views and resulted in proposition of three types of authenticity, namely objective, constructive and existential authenticity; the first two types are viewed as object-related, while existential authenticity is subject (or tourist)-related and is based on personal experience.
