Kimberly Roberts depended on her obstetrician/gynecologist to provide the best care for her. So when she became pregnant, it was only natural to follow his advice and deliver her baby at DeKalb Medical. It's a decision that led to an ongoing relationship with DeKalb Medical and the wealth of resources it offers expecting and new parents.
Kimberly and her husband found the DeKalb Medical maternity staff to be caring and sensitive to their lack of experience and worries as first-time parents. "We didn't know what to do with Benjamin and could have felt a little intimidated by the nurses who know so much," she said. "It wasn't like that at all. They let us experience things on our own with the baby in our room, yet they were right there when we needed them to help us or we had questions."
Although the DeKalb Medical maternity facilities as "like a resort or a hotel and nothing like a hospital," according to Kimberly, it was the high level of personal attention and service by the staff that made her delivery and hospital stay a pleasant one. "The staff makes you feel like you are their only priority when they are with you," she recalled.
Kimberly realized that level of service even before her baby boy was born as she and her husband participated in classes including a maternity center tour, childbirth preparation, newborn baby care and breastfeeding. After the baby arrived, Kimberly joined a new mother's group. "These groups are a very valuable part of the support DeKalb Medical provides, even after you deliver your baby. For me, they have been crucial in helping me as a mother, and I've made some very good friends thanks to DeKalb Medical."

If all goes as planned, the way homelessness is managed in Regina is soon to change in a pretty big way.
If all goes as planned, the way homelessness is managed in Regina is soon to change in a pretty big way.
But in order for that to happen, the current way poverty is managed needs to be disrupted.
That disruption is believed — and proven in other cities — to be done by using a Housing First Model.
On Friday, the city's pilot Housing First model was officially launched.
The simple explanation of Housing First is that it offers those experiencing poverty a place to live and then surrounds that person with supports to manage the issues — such as mental health or addictions — that contribute to poverty.
While it sounds simple, it's a pretty dramatic departure from the way poverty is looked at right now.
Sam Tsemberis developed Housing First in the 1990s and has seen the idea find success around North America. He was in Regina to speak at the launch.
As it is now, those living in poverty often have to prescribe to certain organizations' criteria in order to get help.
In Regina, for example, many of the shelters and services available for those in poverty refuse help to anyone who is intoxicated or on drugs. In order to access many of the houses made available for the homeless, people have to prove they have been sober for an extended period of time.
That model, of course, doesn't work for those battling hard-to-beat addictions.
"There is no other venue for them other than trying, failing and feeling defeated," said Tsemberis.
Housing First aims to change that by offering services to those in greatest need and, at the same time, giving them keys to a place to live.
"There is a huge cultural wall to many of the practices and values of the program," said Tsemberis. "You get through the wall by saying 'we're going to end homelessness for people on our streets.' There you have consensus."
A few years ago in Regina it was tough for housing advocates to get anyone to listen about the merits of Housing First, largely because of that wall. Over the years, support has slowly grown.
The federal government bought into the idea years ago, and is funding Regina's pilot project, which is being coordinated largely by the YMCA and run by the Phoenix Residential Society.
Pamela Reimer, director of homelessness partnering and housing first initiatives at the YMCA, says there are many challenges already with rolling out the program.
"One of the biggest issues our team has already come up with is the whole harm reduction process of it," she said.
Harm reduction is a touchy subject in Saskatchewan. There was much debate when a needle exchange program, which allows users to trade in dirty needles for clean ones to help stop the spread of diseases, was brought in about a decade ago.
Reimer said similar harm reduction strategies — such as allowing alcoholics small amounts of liquor so they avoid drinking harmful alternatives, such as Listerine — are few and far between.
In order for the pilot project to work, the options to treat people with programs such as that will likely be needed.
"We need to come together as a community and offer options to people so they can actually succeed," said Reimer. "We can't tell them it's our way or the highway."
Those pushing forward the Housing First model largely agree many of the challenges can be overcome, especially if more funding is made available.
"We're not going to be able to meet nearly even a third of the individuals who actually are going to need the support because we don't have the funding available right now," said Reimer.
The province has committed itself to supporting Housing First, but only when "the province's fiscal capacity allows".

People on the Move
Gawker gets a new CTO and more...
Gawker Media hasn't exactly been under the radar in the past few weeks, but Nick Denton slipped in an important new hire announcement amid the chaos.
The company named Ian Fette its new CTO. He'd previously been engineering manager at Google, leading several projects including the development of the Google Chrome Web browser.
"Fette's arrival next week is a new impetus for the Technology team that underpins our media brands and the communities of writers and readers that gather round them," Denton says in an internal memo. "He will be a great addition, applying experience in machine learning and other software skills to the media platform. Ian will also be a part of the Managing Partnership."
But while Gawker adds one, it's losing several to buyouts. Seven editorial staffers have reportedly jumped ship so far, including Gawker Media executive editor, Tommy Craggs, and Gawker editor-in-chief, Max Read.
Here are the rest of this week's people on the move:
Advertising Age announced several promotions:
Ken Wheaton becomes editor in charge of all editorial operations for the brand. He had been managing editor and a regular columnist since 2012 and was the founding editor of Small Agency Diary.
Natalie Zmuda has been named managing editor at Ad Age where she'd been editor, CMO strategy.
Nat Ives has been named executive editor. He had been media reporter/columnist.
Matt McAllester has been named Europe editor at Newsweek. Most recently, he had been Europe editor at Time.
Architectural Digest has hired Erica Duecy as digital director of its website. Duecy had served in the same position for Saveur.
Tim McCaughan has been named managing editor at Blue Nation Review. He had been senior supervising producer, political unit, at CNN.
Hannah Orenstein has been named writer at Seventeen.com. She had been editorial intern at Cosmopolitan.com.

AIL Ulster Bank League Division 1A – Saint Mary's College vs Young Munster match report
Saint Mary's College were in pole position at the top of the AIL division 1A table going into Saturday's final round match against Young Munster at Templeville Road. With the sun shining high above Templeogue , and a large crowd in full song, the stage was set for a pulsating game of rugby. Young Munster had the better of the opening minutes but their first foray up the Mary's 22metre line ended spectacularly with a red card being shown to winger Darragh O'Neill who was adjudged to have committed a dangerous tackle. The home support would be forgiven for expecting this to have taken the sting out of Young Munster's threat but O'Neill's sending off seemed to galvanise his team's resolve. During this early period the Limerick side's positive attitude in attack forced Mary's into coughing up penalties. Two converted penalties in quick succession by Willie Staunton, and a yellow card against Mary's Gavin Dunne for obstructing an opposition player, ensured this tie was not a foregone conclusion.
Despite a penalty breaking up a run of phases near the Mary's try line, Young Munster continued to press forward for more scores. Munster's success in two consecutive lineouts provided the foundation for another attack that was only thwarted when Mary's player Conor Hogan managed to retrieve a loose ball near his own try line and desperately kick it out over the sideline. However with another lineout success in the bag Young Munster simply tucked the ball away and advanced over the try line for Ger Slattery to touch down. Staunton's easy conversion kick increased the gap between the sides to 13 points and the boys in blue were now in danger of facing an insurmountable challenge. Mary's next attempt to advance was broken up with several unforced errors and a number of scrums awarded to the visitors in the middle of the pitch. The opening half descended into a litany of errors by both sides yet a late penalty conceded by Young Munster, which resulted in a yellow card being shown to James O'Neill, enabled Gavin Dunne to kick over the home side's first score of the game. Half Time: Saint Mary's College 3 Young Munster 13.
Mary's attempts to get a rhythm going in their forward play would continue to be undone by inaccuracy and unforced errors. In fact a further penalty conceded in front of their own posts allowed Staunton to tack on another 3 points. Some kind of inspiration was required at this stage if the Templeville Road side wanted to claim the AIL title and it was duly provided by two substitutes, Mark Sexton and Ciaran Ruddock. Ruddock's tenacity in claiming a ball that was bouncing away from him helped Mary's claim vital possession near the Young Munster 22metre line with the resulting play leading to a Mark Sexton try. Dunne's conversion reduced the arrears to 6 points. The mercurial nature of the home side's display reared its head upon the restart when Mary's gave away possession followed by a penalty right in front of their own posts. Staunton made no mistake with his kick and Young Munster again edged further ahead of Mary's.
At 10-19 Saint Mary's character was being clearly tested with the Ulster Bank League title at stake. Playing against 14 men, and trailing by 9 points, Mary's could ill afford to concede any more scores. As it happened Young Munster would not score again in what would be a thrilling conclusion to the match. Mary's tightened things up defensively and began to cut down on handling errors and missed passes. A Dunne penalty kick, combined with Hooker Richard Sweeney playing an active part in earning his side another penalty following an attacking scrum, saw Mary's claw back the arrears to just 3 points. Mary's were finally coming to life but with the clock running down, and the lively Mark Doyle breaking the opposition line from a good Young Munster turnover , one wondered would another opportunity arise for the home side. Entering the final minutes, and with hopes fading, Young Munster's huge clearance kick stayed in play giving Mary's another bite at the cherry. Darren Hudson's decision to aim a long sweeping pass across the back line, instead of taking the ball into the tackle, created the overlap that helped Mary's carry the ball up to the Young Munster try line. Following a period of pressure at the line substitute Sexton landed down for his second try of the day which gave his side advantage for the first time in the match and got the blue crowd in full voice. Dunne's conversion rounded off proceedings and wrapped up the Ulster Bank League for Saint Mary's.

Anyone who was in Denver understands the chaos and sheer terror that radiated from Littleton that day. I was on my way to meet a co-worker for lunch. She worked just blocks from Columbine. Police cars sped previous, lights on and sirens blaring, at no much less than 60 miles an hour. Straight down Wadsworth, a major road connecting most of the metro spot cities in Denver, the police vehicles came. And then some far more. And then even more. I could virtually hear the calamity from the place I was.

Westwood Village History
Once the picturesque Wolfskill Ranch, surrounded by lush hills and citrus farms, Westwood Village emerged as Southern California's original urban village nearly 100 years ago. The development - designed around an idyllic Mediterranean theme - was considered one of the best-planned and most beautifully laid-out commercial areas in the nation. Westwood Village's proximity to Hollywood also made it an ideal home for iconic theaters, including the Majestic Crest Theatre, Regency Theatre's Fox Westwood Village Theatre, and Bruin Theatre. Thanks to these establishments, the neighborhood became known as "The movie premiere capital of the world," a distinction it still holds. Today, the area remains an icon of casual, glamorous Los Angeles living, defined by sidewalk cafes, upscale boutiques, green spaces with flowering, fragrant flora, and star-studded events. And our stylish hotel is in the heart of it all.
Where is Westwood Village
Bordered by the opulent mansions and estates of Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and Bel-Air (Los Angeles' Platinum Triangle), Westwood Village combines Hollywood glitz with rustic Californian beauty - as well as close proximity to the ocean. Clay roofs, decorative Spanish tiles, paseos, fountains, and open-air courtyards create a picturesque scene. Westwood Village is also home to the seven-acre Mildred E Mathias Botanical Garden.
Things to do in Westwood Village
Year-round sunshine and creative freedom, combined with the charm of Westwood Village's tree-lined streets, make the area a magnet for a dynamic mix of creatives, celebrities, students, engineers, directors, Noble Prize winners from UCLA, and up-and-comers of all kinds. They congregate to pick up organic fruits and vegetables from the outdoor market, while live musicians provide the soundtrack. Numerous nearby museums and annual festivals, including music, book, and film events, offer endless opportunities for enriching things to do. Lounges and neighborhood bars provide the space for both relaxed gatherings and high-profile meetings. At night, these venues transform to host premieres and parties, infusing the area with an intoxicating energy. Be sure to experience it all during your hotel stay.

Process analysis and economic evaluation for Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) production by fermentation
- 2.6k Downloads
- Citations
Several processes for the production and recovery of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) by Alcaligenes eutrophus, Alcaligenes latus, Methylobacterium organophilum, and recombinant Escherichia coli were designed based on the previously reported data and analyzed by computer-aided bioprocess design. PHB productivity, content, and yield significantly affected the final price of PHB. For the annual production of 2,850 tonnes of purified PHB, the process employing A. eutrophus with the recovery method of surfactant-hypochlorite digestion resulted in lowest price of PHB, $ 5.58/kg. As the production scale increased to one million tonnes per year, the price of PHB dropped to $ 4.75/kg. The cost of carbon substrate significantly affected the overall economics in large production scale. Therefore, the production cost can be considerably lowered when agricultural wastes, such as whey and molasses, are used.

Our School Council meet every Tuesday lunchtime, with two representatives from each class from Year 1 up to Year 6, discussing topical issues that arise.
Recently, we had the pleasure of interviewing some candidates for the Deputy Headteacher position. We understood that this was a very important opportunity to help our school community choose a new member of our excellent staff team. We created our own questions and each person had the job of asking one or two questions and we all gave their answers a score out of 10. It was quite a grilling and we were very impressed with all the answers. Congratulations Mr Klee, we cannot wait to work with you.
We also organised Red Nose Day where everybody was invited to wear red for 50p, buy red noses for £1 and buy cakes from 20p-£1. We would like to say a huge 'THANK YOU' to everyone who donated to our cake sale, it was great event.
We raised a massive £401.24 which is truly fantastic! Your generosity will help people who don't have the things we often do not think about like clean clothes, food to eat, the right medical help and a school to learn new skills.

However the scientists are trying to come up with different theories to give the explanation of how the universe functions. Different scientists from different institutions are trying to explain these functionality relationships by trying to come up with different laws that govern the universe. These forces include the force of gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear and weak forces.
The scientist including the likes of Albert Estein, Isaac Newton, and Niels Bohr tried to explain the world of everything. Albert Estein (the father of gravity) said that everything in the universe is made of the tiny strings and they form the components of nature.
At the age of 26, Isaac Newton, came up with different laws to explain the universe. These include the force of gravity law where two processes occurs that is the pull and the push force. An example was given using an apple falling from a tree. The two forces play part to pull and push. He further said that nothing can go as faster as lightning. This led to Maxwell to come up with the theory of Electromagnetic force, which is the combination of electricity and magnet. Maxwell further continued by saying when the light is moving, it creates dots and dash. Therefore four simple equations, which is gravity; electromagnetism and string were combined to form one equation.
After these forces still the scientist battle to come out with the real explanation that govern the universe. These is seen when another scientist called Niel Bohr come up with the suggestion that the universe behave in a strange way which is predictable.
In 1930s, it was also discovered that gravity and electromagnetism are not the only forces which describes how the world works, says Nima Arkani from Harvard University. The other forces were also discovered that include the nuclear force which consists of protons and neutrons and the weak force. The other theory was that of quantum mechanics, suggesting that Universe is formed as a result of the big bang some 14billion years ago. As a result the Universe gets small.
Therefore this issue of how the universe work is still unknown though different scientists are trying to come with different theories. At the moment there is no clear explanation pertaining the way which the universe functions.

Recommendations for Floodway Vegetation Managment
By using the velocity contours from the hydraulic model, the restoration planner can target where on the floodplain vegetation can be used or placed to affect desired outcomes. Areas of slow velocity, 1 – 2 feet per second, can usually be planted with trees and shrubs at fairly moderate densities (200 plants per acre) because the slow velocity is caused by the geomorphology of the channel and the characteristics of the flow at various depths, not the vegetation. Higher velocity areas (5-10 fps) can be planted with flexible-stem plants and grasses that lie down under the weight of the rapid flow.
The characteristics of flexible stem species offer management options that are not currently being utilized by floodway managers.
1. Flexible stems slow erosion while maintaining conveyance.
Example planting designs:
2. Levee surface erosion
Riparian trees and shrubs can be planted near the base of a levee to form a wall of vegetation that will break the force of wind waves and protect the levee from erosion. Surface erosion on the face of the levee could be slowed or halted by planting short-stature flexible-stem species on the levee such as blackberry or rose. Alternatively, a wide row of large trees and shrubs could be planted parallel to the base of the levee to intercept wind waves before they can break on the levee and cause erosion.
3. Reduction of maintenance cost
By using the velocity contours from the hydraulic model, the restoration (and maintenance) planner can target where on the floodplain vegetation can be placed to affect desired outcomes.

Grab your aprons, because we're off to Chef Lucas' Kitchen! Birthday boy Lucas rounded up some hungry friends (a.k.a. sous-chefs!) for his Modern Bistro-Inspired Top Chef Birthday Party… but really all the credit goes to mommy/creative party genius, Amy Liu Bissett of A Dazzle Day.
Her design skills never cease to amaze, and this time she gave the kids an awesome excuse to "get messy in the kitchen" AND get photo-booth-silly for the camera – which is exactly what every kid really wants, right!? ;)
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:
- Make Your Own Pizza activity + personalized "Chef Lucas' Kitchen" pizza boxes
- Chef hat sugar cookie decorating activity + chocolate mustache topped cupcakes
- Colorful aprons & chef hats, herb-filled mason jars, and "Bon Appetit" drink flags
- Chalkboard style invitations & printables by Tania's Design Studio
- Fun favor box with a kid-sized whisk, rolling pin, wooden spoon, & mini oven mitt cookie cutter
- Awesome veggie sticks presentation featuring striped candy cups + darling circle toppers
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Amy Liu…
Chef's party is always a fun theme to design and execute. The kids get to make their own pizza, decorate cookies and it's okay to make a mess, so what's not to like?!
I prepared a box filled with kid sized cooking tools like wooden spoon, whisk and rolling pin with a mini cookie cutter. They get to use them to cook something with their family. What a fun favor box to take home!
I've worked with Tania from Tania Design Studio once again and I loved the birthday printables she designed!

Safer munitions may seem like a contradiction in terms, but modern designers put a lot of effort into creating weapons that do the least unintentional harm after or if they fail to do their job. A case in point is a new limited-range bullet invented by Brian Kim, Mark Minisi, and Stephen McFarlane at the US Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC). Recently awarded a US patent, the proof-of-concept bullet disables itself after flying a preset distance.

A spinal stroke is where there is a disruption in the blood supply to the spinal cord which may cause damage to the nerve messages transmitted along the spinal cord.
Each person is affected differently by a stroke so your treatment will depend on your individual symptoms. The bowel and bladder functions are most commonly affected by a stroke.
A sluggish bowel can be improved by a regular balance diet, drinking 1.5 litres fluid per day and prescribed medication to aid with faecal bulking and passing of regular bowel movements. Physiotherapy exercises to train pelvic floor muscles could also be of benefit. I would suggest you discuss this further with your doctor.

Engineers Without Borders - Asheville Chapter has been planning a project over several years which involves improving access to clean water for the residents of Uluthe, Kenya. Uluthe is a small village of around 700 people and is part of the Mungao sublocation of 8,000 people in the Western part of Kenya near Lake Victoria. I've been fortunate to be included as a member of the 'implementation team' which will travel to Kenya assist in the completion of the project. Our goal is to provide the existing health clinic, which currently has no source of clean water, with a well. I sincerely thank you for your support to help cover travel expenses for me and my team.

When I started The Little Cosplay Things in 2011, it was at the height of this hype on Tumblr where there was a "little ___ things" for everything (books, athletics, cooking, etc). I decided to make The Little Cosplay Things not really expecting to get the response I had.
At the time I was a little distant from the hobby partially because I had no job, I was a senior in high school, and cosplay wasn't really in the forefront of my mind. However, I knew I wanted to get back into it, and was going to use the blog as a way to kick start my love for it again. I wanted to highlight the things people loved about the hobby and knew I wanted it to be submission based to act as a collective of positivity.
Unfortunately in the beginning, I was young and still learning about the world. I made a few pretty offensive posts, which I am very embarrassed about looking back, but I have since learned from my mistakes and would never agree with some of the things younger me had said.
Towards the end of 2014 submissions started slowing down (and I'm not sure if it was because I was rather inactive or we just ran out of things to say about cosplay without being redundant). I was working through college and becoming more invested in actually cosplaying so I just didn't have time. I closed the blog in February of 2015, with over 20,000 followers..
I made a lot of wonderful friends through running The Little Cosplay Things that I still know and talk to. I love running into people who used to follow the blog and the nice things they have to say about it. It makes me really happy to know I could have contributed to the community in a positive way, even if only a little. For some people, cosplay is what gets them through their week, or their month. Happiness is something to look forward to, and if that means we are putting our happiness in the hands of dressing up for one weekend, then indeed - In Cosplay We Trust. <3
So, to start out talking about my cosplay: I exclusively cosplay things that I love. I am wholly against cosplaying things for likes, or to impress the cute person you met at the last convention, or any other reason besides it's something you love and want to put your life into. Cosplay can be expensive and time consuming and why would you want to waste your time and money working on something you don't even like all that much. I also believe that there is no such thing as cosplaying for your body type. Want to know how to get that cosplay body? Put a cosplay on your body. I cosplay a lot of spandex clad super heroes despite being plus-size. Mostly because I love them. But also partially because it's important to show people that you can cosplay literally whatever you want no matter who you are.
My genderbend Animal Man (or Animal Ma'am) was debuted at Comikaze Expo 2014. I am an aspiring zookeeper, so I naturally had a gravitation towards a super hero that was animal based. Animal Man can take on the abilities of any animal, alive or extinct, through a power called The Red. He can regrow limbs per earth worms. He can punch like a pistol shrimp. He can do so many cool things, but he is a rather C-List super hero. AKA my favorite kind of superhero.
My friends and I call this cosplay my traffic cone cosplay because it is very 80's and very orange. When I first wore it, no one knew who I was, especially because I was cosplaying the orange suit from the Grant Morrison run and his suit in the New 52 is blue and white and very different. But because of Buddy's status as a low key hero I wasn't surprised. It was really odd to me when I wore Animal Ma'am again to Big Wow 2015 and a BUNCH of people knew who I was!
He's honestly my favorite hero, so I was so excited to see people recognize the outfit. The process for making Animal Man was relatively straight forward. I painted some Rayban's yellow. The orange suit was a zentai suit from Party City with the feet and the face and the fingers chopped off, and the large blue lycra "A" was hand stitched. I added the black boot covers and face hole, which is all lycra, and threw on a denim jacket. I made the gloves removable for easy phone and money handling access. It was a really simple process, but it's one of my favorite cosplays ever!
Moving on to Cammy, I've always had a thing for Cammy. Even when I was just a young nugget floating through the internet, she's a strong blonde lady with big thighs. Me too. I decided I wanted to cosplay the pink suit version from Street Fighter IV after buying the figure and having a solid reference and I got a squad on board to do Street Fighter alternate outfits at DragonCon 2015.
The next time I wore Cammy was at Silicon Valley Comic Con 2016 (swapping out our Sakura for Venom Spitter's Akuma) and the response was so much greater. It also helps that we know a lot more people over on our home turf. It always is overwhelming - albeit fun - when you can hardly walk five feet without getting stopped for a picture. Because at the time of DragonCon I was inundated with work and school, I employed Calamity Caller Cosplay to make my suit for me. I made the hat and the bracers. The suit is made out of a pink stretch knit and she followed a hand made pattern from a body cast we made. The tie and the shoulder pads were filled with high density foam. The bracers are a mix between poster paper, high density foam, and craft foam. This cosplay is now long gone off to a landfill and here's why (and can sometimes be something overlooked): The bracers were delicate and cumbersome. Hitting people accidentally always stuck me with fear that a chunk flew off or I hurt someone else. The knit that I used probably wasn't made for apparel because (and here's a pretty not-sexy reason) I'm a sweaty person and unfortunately you could tell with this suit! In a lot of pictures, my arms are at odd - sometimes forced - angles to hide this. It's pretty embarrassing! And when things like this come up, you can either attempt to fix it or move on! (I chose the latter. Too many other things to cosplay!)
Lastly, Iron Fist. I actually can't remember my first exposure to him, or why I was so enamored, but he's probably one of my favorite heroes ever, right next to Animal Man. I debuted this cosplay also at DragonCon 2015. I had a lot of people really excited for Iron Fist. Someone actually ran the wrong way up an elevator to hunt me down to talk to me about my cosplay. I know he started to get a more recognition because of the Ultimate Spider-Man TV show, and even more so when they announced he was getting his own Netflix show, so in the time I've worn this cosplay I've always had a good response.
This cosplay was also painfully straightforward. It's a backwards green zentai suit, with the head, hands, and feet cut off. Handmade hand wraps and sash. Painted slip on shoes. The mask I opted out of wearing on my face because I am TERRIBLE at applique so I figured it would be forgivable if I just wore it on my forehead. The dragon Shao Lao I paint on my chest, but I should really practice a better technique because it's hardly visible, honestly. I was excited to use the little yoga I knew and my high kicks to bring to life my pictures for Iron Fist. It's one of my favorite cosplays to wear because of how simple and low maintenance it is.
Through the process of cosplay I have learned the importance of putting pride into your work. I have learned that staying true to yourself and your interests is the most rewarding thing. I have learned the importance of asking for help and that no one can face all challenges - no matter how big or small - alone. I have also learned that being unashamedly who you are is the fastest way to make lasting friends.

Grove at Grand Bay
2675 South Bayshore Drive Coconut Grove, FL 33133
The Grove at Grand Bay is a new proposed project in Coconut Grove. Grove at Grand Bay is planned to be build on South Bayshore Drive in Coconut Grove, on the site of the soon-to-be-demolished Grand Bay hotel and will feature two towers. Both Bayfront towers will offer 20 stories with 59/38 residences. This Condominium would be the first new condo tower since the Grovenor House that was developed in 2007. Grove at Grand Bay is an exclusive condo tower with 96 residences and close to many stunning historic sites. To be a resident in Grove at Grand Bay means to live in a walking distance to the best public and private schools in Miami-Dade. The Grove at Grand Bay is next to ocean front parks like Monty's, Dinner Key Marina, Fresh Market, Sunset Place and Merrick Park.
Inspired by the natural beauty of Coconut Grove, Bjarke Ingels, of BIG Architects, has reimagined the highrise condominium with the boldness and ingenuity that have made him the most talked about architect of his generation.
From any distance and every angle, Grove at Grand Bay is destined to capture every eye and imagination. Those fortunate enough to reside within will find their lives enriched by profoundly innovative design that marks these 96 exceptional residences as the world's most highly evolved condominiums.
Grove at Grand Bay has just been announced by the world renowned development team - Terra Group. This 96 apartment, twenty (20) story condominium will feature two towers that will rise in Coconut Grove at 2669 Bayshore Drive on the site of the old Grand Bay Hotel. The location is two blocks from the Village Center of Coconut Grove and all that is offered there. The views of Biscayne Bay are right out your window or from your expansive balcony.

Random BSOD, different errors. Weird sound.
I have a Samsung laptop and for a past few months I was getting BSOD every two weeks. I haven't done anything with it and now the sound from speakers got weird as well. When I try to play music from youtube I get buzzing sound. And also few BSOD recently. Two of them were when I was trying to scan laptop for rootkits.
Attached are files from SF debug tool and SF diagnostic. I have scanned for viruses and malware but nothing.
Laptop is Samsung NP-RY520-A07UK
windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Intel Core i3-2330M CPU @ 2.20GHZ
Memory 4GB
Intel HD Graphics Family
Antivirus Norton 360
|My System Specs
|17 Feb 2014
Although this is a first, your problem seems to come from Malwarebytes. The specific driver is
What is the mbamswissarmy.sys file?
Deactivate Malwarebytes or remove and see if the problem is solved.
If it is solved and you still want to use Malwarebytes. If you have the paid version my suggestion is just to use it for scans.
I use Malwarebytes as most members here there has never been a problem.
It is my informed opinion that there is a conflict between Norton and Malwby
You can try Microsoft Security Essentials as an AV. There will be no conflict.
|My System Specs
|17 Feb 2014
Thanks for quick reply. That is weird as I have been running both softwares on my other laptop for almost two years now and with no problems.
I have uninstalled the MalwareByte (it was only free version so I will not be using it again). Would you recommend any other malware scanner?
After MalwareByte has been removed I got the BSOD again. Zip from SF diagnostic attached. And I still have weird sound when streaming videos from youtube. Would this be a problem with sound driver?
And I just got black screen as well, with nothing happening.
|My System Specs
|17 Feb 2014
This time the driver was different
This appears to be your Wi-Fi driver, BUT. It is also used in Norton. Make a system restore point.
Uninstall Norton. Replace with Microsoft Security Essentials.
If the BSODs stop. Reinstall Malwarebytes. if they are gone. I would leave well enough alone. Forget about what you paid for Norton. There is a conflict, so why pay.
As I said in my first post, I thought Norton was involved.
|My System Specs
|17 Feb 2014
Ok, Ive done as advised and got two new BSOD. One during uninstall of Norton 360 and second one after I have installed Microsoft Security Essentials, updated it and scanned my laptop.
Also when I was trying to write this reply my laptop froze and got black screen. And still have problem with sound.
Attached are minidump files.
Any idea what could be the cause?
Forgot to mention that I can't turn on real-time protection on MSE after my laptop froze. And the laptop is not very responsive.
|My System Specs
|17 Feb 2014
Allow me to explain exactly what is happening.
The reports that you have been submitting, as a rule, give clues as to the cause. Each report is a bit different and then it is up to the analyst to determine the true cause.
In your case every time you indicate that the problem has returned and you submit new reports they are all consistent as to the cause. This time it is:
Driver sabi.sys | ProcessAdvisory.com
We have to determine the cause using other means. Run in safe mode. Does the problem still occur? Either way report back.
Did you make the antivirus scan?
|My System Specs
|17 Feb 2014
I have started the laptop in safe mode and seems to be ok (at least for now). Laptop is very responsive.
The audio service isn't runing but i dont know if it supposed to run in safe mode. When I click on the speaker icon it's trying to fix the problem but is unable to do so.
Problems found:
One or more audio service isn't runing not fixed
|My System Specs
|17 Feb 2014
Keep running in safe mode. If you do not have problems, we will use the clean boot procedure to see exactly what is the cause of your problem
If you do get a bsod in safe mode, not good, probably means hardware problem.
|My System Specs
|17 Feb 2014
No problem. I will keep it running in safe mode and will keep you updated.
Update: After running it for about an hour in safe mode it is working fine.

This week sees the return of Microsoft's bloodiest franchise, along with with the world's most beloved female treasure-hunter making her way to PS4. Additionally, we take a one-way ticket to suplex-city, and get our swords, guns and wangs out (seriously, it's not what you think it is). So hold onto your hats, gamers – here's our picks for the games releasing this week, 10-14 October 2016:
Gears of War 4
Release date: 11 October 2016 (Xbox One)
Just about everything of Gears of War 4 screams something new. A new developer, new characters, and a new setting, Gears 4 is looking to take the franchise into the new generation with some fresh ideas, albeit with the same brutality that made the original a hit. The sequel follows protagonist JD Fenix (son of Gears of War's Marcus Fenix) and his squad, along with the new enemy that plagues the world post-Gears 3. In addition to the usual chainsawing, cover shooting action, the new entry will also feature new weapons, some giant new enemies, some familiar faces, and some mech segments (yip, that's right).
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration
Release date: 11 October 2016 (PS4)
If you need a reminder of your age, Square Enix is set to release Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration this week, which will see the return of gaming's most persistent adventurer. The game, which, as the name suggests, is the PS4 release of the critically-acclaimed Rise of the Tomb Raider (which first released on Xbox One last year), along with a whole bunch of extras. The new 20 Year Celebration edition features the full game and all content from the Rise of the Tomb Raider Season Pass, which includes Baba Yaga: Temple of the Witch, Cold Darkness Awakened, two new DLC episodes called Blood Ties and Lara's Nightmare, all DLC outfits, weapons, and Expedition Cards. and a new Extreme Survivor ultra-hard difficulty for the main campaign.
Release date: 11 October 2016 (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3)
Grab your spandex and tights, WWE is rolling back into town this week! As with most annual sports instalments, WWE 2K17 will enhance and improve the foundations set by past entries in the franchise. In addition to the rock solid fighting mechanics, the biggest addition is a reworked WWE Universe Mode. For those new to the series, WWE Universe Mode is a sort of gamified take on the weekly antics you might catch while watching an episode of Raw, SmackDown or NXT. This year's WWE game will feature a new "Show Presentation" system, made to make players feel like they are plowing through the weekly scheduling rotation. Unlike standard matches, this mode offers all of the drama and rivalries you see on TV, along with the possibility of run-ins, attacks before and after matches and more. Also new to this year's WWE Universe mode in 2K17 are promos. The game actually incorporates a "Promo Engine," creating the kinds of events and banter you'd see between weekly bouts.
Shadow Warrior 2
Release date: 13 October 2016 (PC)
2013's Shadow Warrior reboot wasn't the best game to come out that year, but it was a sadly overlooked throwback to the age of brutal first-person shooters. Shadow Warrior 2 is the natural evolution of Flying Wild Hog's offbeat FPS following the further misadventures of former corporate shogun Lo Wang. The sequel sees the return of the "bullets and blades" combat style, allowing players to switch between guns and swords on the fly, as well as introducing co-op to the game. It's also said to include an enhanced damage and dismemberment system, and procedurally generated environments.
Skylanders: Imaginators
Release date: 14 October 2016 (PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U)
Skylanders: Imaginators, the sixth instalment in studio Toys for Bob's action-adventure toy bonanza, will finally let Skylanders players have been dying to do: create their very own Skylanders. Players can use the flexible build-a-character feature to design their very-own Skylanders hero. Everything from its look, weapons, powers, techniques, and even voice can be customised. The game itself promises a long single player adventure, local two player co-op adventure and multiplayer kart racing. Skylander Academy will again return as the game hub and custom character photos can be taken at selfie spots which are then used to decorate the Academy.

Call of Duty Black Ops
Last weekend my Dad bought me a computer game called Call of Duty Black Ops. I had been playing the game at my cousin's house before my dad bought the game and so that is why I asked him to buy it for me.
When I got home I installed the game. I went straight to online play in which you play against other people around the world. Man it is fun. When you level up you unlock guns, perks, equipment, lethal grenades and non-lethal grenades.
The guns usually get better and better the higher your level when you unlock them, but sometimes the guns get good, and then get bad again. This confused me a lot. I prefer using an assault rifle with an ACOG scope mounted on the top of it for better accuracy, and I also enjoy using sniper rifles.
Perks are the things that help you in the game. You always have three perks. Each one helps you in some way. For example the perk called Lightweight allows you to run faster.
Equipment is anything you put down on the ground and it stays there until you blow it up, etc. Equipment includes C4, Claymores, CCTV cameras, and motion sensors.
Lethal grenades are your classic frag grenade, your semtex, and a good old tomahawk.
Non-lethal grenades are the smoke grenades, flashbangs and concussion grenades. All of these assist you in some way.
In Call of Duty Black Ops when you unlock something, you still have to buy it after that as well, so you have to remember to save up your money that you earn from taking out opponents and winning rounds.
Although it is at the top of the list, the very first assault rifle is my favourite, when I use it I put a ACOG scope and a suppressor on to it. This way I can be far away, and enemies cannot see me on their radar.

According to an article in U.S. News and World Report earlier this year, the average household with at least one credit card had a balance of over $10, 000. Unfortunately, if you were to ask most people what they'd spent that $10, 000 on, you'd probably get a lot of stammering and confused looks. That sushi dinner from a year and a half ago – still paying for that. The MP3 player purchased a few years ago and replaced since, twice. The electric bill you almost forgot to pay and made a last-minute credit card payment on to avoid a late payment. All of these little charges add up to big debt, especially when you consider how much of that balance is made up of interest.
As special motivation to stop charging and pay off your credit card debt, consider this: if you had $10, 000 in credit card debt and paid only the minimum payment each month, it would take you more than 31 years to pay off that debt – IF you stop using the card entirely. And, the minimum payment on a $10, 000 credit card debt at 18% interest is a whopping $250 a month. So put away those credit cards and think of what you'll do with that extra $250 you'll have each month once you get that bill paid off. If you need additional motivation, check out our suggestions.
In just a few months of debt-free living, you would have enough to take a fantastic vacation somewhere tropical, cultured, relaxing or just plain fun. Cut out pictures of your favorite travel destination and tape them to your credit cards to remind you that you'd rather be basking in the sun of the Caribbean than buying three new pairs of shoes or a new set of golf clubs. (Just don't let it backfire and use your credit card to pay for that vacation!)
Extra money means you could set aside funds to help out your local homeless shelter, cancer research facility, religious organization or a child in need. Your good deeds will keep you feeling warm and fuzzy a lot longer than the cashmere sweater you were eyeing, and they don't need to be dry cleaned.
If you dream of owning a home, put the extra money you'll have each month toward a down payment. You'll have much more money to put down, and you'll be able to afford a much nicer home if you're not dragged down by credit card payments.
There will always be rainy days, so why not squirrel away your extra cash? There is no reason you need to spend any of your extra cash. Put it into a high-interest savings account, start college funds for you children (whether you have any yet or not), or think of it as your first step toward an early retirement.

A strawberry plant is short bush that gives out several berries. The leaves that you see on top of the berry are not very different from the leaves that you would see on the plant except that they are bigger.
The leaves are light and bright green, and they can change to dark green according to the season.The berries when they start out are small white flowers. So, when you se, a strawberry plant when it has just began flowering you will notice that they have tiny little specks all over in bunches. You will see white dots on full green leaves. In a week's time, these flowers disappear and you will see small white berries. At that time, these berries do not take the shape of the actual strawberry. Instead, they are just round balls. However, you will see several bunches on the plant.
Give it a couple of weeks more time, and then you will notice semi white and red berries all over the green bush. From the top, the strawberry plant almost looks like creeper or a bush which is just spreading all over. When the berries are beginning to get ripe, they slowly become red and grow bigger in size. However, once they completely turn red, they stop getting bigger also.
Strawberries are found hanging on the bush in bunches, just like grapes. The only difference is that every single berry is attached to the parent stem. You can find several bunches like these in one single bush or plant.

Ok we should be able to download music off the internet because CD's are a lot of money for people that don't have a lot of it (Say me, a 14 year old girl that has to buy anything I want. My parents buy me things like clothes and food but anything like electronic devices I have to buy out of my own pocket. And I really don't make enough money to buy a lot of things).
Also, most people are now going more ditagal. So you might as well get your music off the internet since so many people are on it. And the artists of the songs could make quite a bit of money selling their music online for very little. It all adds up!
Lastly, people are going to do it anyways so we might as well just make it legal. Especially with the newer generations that are like very tec-smart (me being an exception). If you can't beat 'em, join 'em I say!
I eargerly await your response in this very ummm, interesting debate! XD
These musicians have to earn money, too, and getting their music for free doesn't help them.
Definition of respect: A worth seen by someone else about another person. Buying their music says that they're worth something. Getting their music for free technically says they're worth nothing.
Even though you don't have much money, I'm sure you would like to earn some. If people download something you make for free, are you making much money? Certainly not.
Even though this generation is more digital, that doesn't mean that you have to buy their CD's to get the music. You can get them off of Spotify, iTunes, etc. and these stores still cost money.
It DOES cost the musicians to make the songs. It's a lot of money to go to a recording studio, even for one hour.
Also, you said:
"but anything like electronic devices I have to buy out of my own pocket" If your parents buy you clothes and food, then you should by some time be able to buy music CD's or iTunes cards. Music is a want, not a need, like clothes.
Thanks for the worthy argument! :D
Musicians make quite a bit of money not on the CD's but on places like itunes and tours. So really we are not making such a great harm are we?
As for respect I guess you are right. However, if I was a musician, I would be happy that so many like my music enough that they'd commit a crime to listen to it. Doesn't make it right but it would be flattering.
And since the world is now more ditagal it makes it much easier to get music off the internet compared to going to the store to get it.
And lastly, I believe that even if music isn't a NEED, it is quite a big WANT. I know I won't get though my day without tunes! (as pathetic as that sounds it is true)
Thanks for this interesting debate! I hope we can remain friends without any hard feelings depending on who wins. Best of luck! XD
Musicians may be happy that people will commit a crime for their music, but as you said, it still isn't right. I think they would still need the money. iTunes is what I'm getting at, as that would be a gReat solution to free music being illegal. iTunes is paid AND is digital, which would cut off people's free music that isn't right to take. Also, a musician will not necessarily be happy that people are commiting crimes fOr their music (especially Christian singers).
After this debate, you've managed to sTay being a friend. I am very grateful for this. Thank you!

Very unusual and refreshing. It did not really felt like a debate, it felt very natural, and you two seems to be in the same state of mind while debating.
What I mean is, neither of you care to be formal, and you just talk as if you were at a coffee shop, drinking some coffee and talking about a specific subject, and not at a debate site debating.

Reasons for voting decision: Well the arguments could have been beter all around, although I feel that Pro made a more convincing case in stating it causes less harm to allow for the "illegal" downloading of music vs. banning it. Con's only argument was really just "But the money should be paid", but didn't really develop why we should be charging, and why, for instance, we allow people to sell and trade used movie and games, but if you do the same thing, from an anonymous internet source, suddenly it's illegal.

Note: The Wizard Summoning Circle was replaced by Mage Barrow.
See article Riddles for help on riddles!
The wizard summoning circle was located in Presto's Edge. Archimedes the Wizard could be summoned using one of three summoning words that cause him to start a game that everyone who is in Presto's Edge can play. The three summoning words and related games are riddle, guess and backwards.
The wizard floats down from the sky and appears in the middle of the circle. The rabbit sitting next to him is Timothy Hay and he points you to the three signs which contain scrambled versions of the summoning words.

The Scientific Method
The scientific method is based on the premise that there are a set of natural and physical laws that act the same no matter where or when they are exercised. It could be argued that the main aim of science is to identify and quantify these immutable laws, and then seek to understand their complex interactions within the natural world. The principle technique used to identify this immutability is to have many different scientists conduct the same experiments under the same conditions, all around the world and at different times, and carefully observe and document the effects. Hypothesis are then proved or disproved based on the results of these observations, and scientific knowledge gained only when experiments can be robustly replicated and the same cause-and-effect relationships clearly identified.
From this flows a further premise that the natural world is a complex system in which energy and matter are constantly interacting and affecting each other, based on the laws of conservation of energy, mass, momentum, etc. Thus, nothing can happen in complete isolation. Whenever anything happens that involves energy, mass, forces, light or whatever, it all must come from somewhere and then end up somewhere else after the event, all of which have observable and quantifiable ramifications within the local environment.
Whilst immutability and cause-and-effect have so far withstood some pretty deep scrutiny, I fully accept that they are both principally just assumptions. However, these two assumptions are pretty fundamental to the scientific method and the pursuit of scientific research. Without at least buying into these assumptions, I would imagine it would be quite difficult to be a scientist and conduct useful research.
Miracles and the Laws of Physics
To believe Christian religious teaching means also believing in miracles - the ability of a deity, saint or devout person to circumvent the laws of nature and physics through sheer force of will to bring about a desired outcome that should not or could not have happened by cause-and-effect alone. There are many miracles described in the bible, many of which are used as proof of Jesus's divine nature. Also, substantiated miracles are a prerequisite for being deemed a saint within the Catholic Church. Thus, as I understand it, miracles are fundamental to the very concept of divinity.
However, belief in miracles effectively means that the laws of nature and physics are not immutable but are subject to manipulation at the will of some people and divine entities. It is not immediately obvious how many people at any one time have this capacity or how often miracles that may not be recognised as such are occurring all around us. If some devout Christians are capable of performing miracles, then it is difficult to discount the possibility that members of other religions and their deities are also similarly capable, or their long dead ancestors, etc.
Thus, if miracles are possible and we don't know how often they occur, then wouldn't it be impossible for a devout scientist to trust the results of any experimental observation, or even any number of them? For a non-scientist it is sufficient to say that God is powerful enough to have created the universe, so if God wills it then it just happens. However, for a scientist, the premise of immutability and cause-and-effect means that any miracle within the natural world couldn't just happen in complete isolation, but would have measurable ramifications within their local environment.
It should therefore be impossible to discount the potential that any phenomena being observed in an experiment was not being influenced in some way by a coincident miracle, if not directly then perhaps as a result of the fulfillment of one entirely unrelated. For example, if a particular miracle required some temporary changes to a natural process in order for it to occur, and your experiment just happened to be undertaken close-by and at the same time, and involved that same natural process, then the results of that experiment would be different to those of another researcher performing the same experiment outside the range of influence.
Given that the number and type of potential miracles occurring is not known, it would be very difficult to establish exactly which natural processes were being effected or the area, nature and duration of the effect. The duration is a real problem as the effect of a miracle could potentially be anywhere from seconds to centuries, meaning that previously established immutable laws might suddenly begin acting entirely differently at some point in the future. We simply couldn't know.
Prayers for Divine Intervention
Prayers for divine guidance or insight are absolutely fine. It would seem to be the role of religion and faith to influence and guide human behaviour. However, prayers for divine intervention in the natural world are not. As I understand it, the aim of many prayers is to implore a deity or specific saint to intervene on your or another's behalf to help achieve a goal, cure the sick or keep someone safe from harm that may otherwise befall them. Thus, to believe in the power of this type of prayer is to believe that natural events all around us are being influenced all of the time and in all sorts of ways according to the hopes and desires of devout religious believers.
This creates very similar problems to the belief in miracles. For example, who is to say that the recovery of patients in a drugs trial was not due entirely to the prayers of loved ones rather than the drugs being tested. Would it not then make sense for scientists who believed in the power of prayer to contact all the relatives of subjects in a trial to ask that they not be prayed for throughout the experiment? Alternatively, wouldn't control groups both inside and outside of devout communities make sense? Without these steps, it would be impossible for such a scientist to trust experimental data due to the potential influence of one or more prayers being answered in the same vicinity and at the same time.
Where are the Studies?
To reiterate, I see no conflict between science and religious belief in a divine presence or creator. My issue is only with the belief in miracles and prayers for divine intervention.
To me, being a scientist means seeing God in the beauty and elegance of the fundamental laws of nature and physics, and believing that these laws were effectively perfect when the universe came into existence or was created, and that any changes are gradual and explicable based on other immutable laws that govern their behaviour. Belief in miracles and divine intervention would suggest that the laws that govern nature and physics are/were imperfect and need regular modification and correction in order to achieve what the deity actually intended or now intends because, without the miracle or prayer occurring, the outcome would have been different.
Thus, regardless of which world view is right or wrong, a belief in miracles and interventionist prayer would seem to fundamentally conflict with the assumptions underpinning the scientific method. Surely holding both world views simultaneously would mean that you could not simply discount the potential effects of miracles and divine intervention on the natural world, and therefore on your own experiments/observations and those of others.
If, as they profess, some scientists do hold deep religious beliefs in miracles and the power of interventionist prayer, then where are the scientific studies that seek to identify and quantify their effects? Without such studies, the entire established scientific knowledge base is surely rendered unreliable in their eyes, so no prior work by them or anyone else would be sufficiently trustworthy to base their current work on unless it fully accounted for localised divine influences. Is that not a fundamental conflict?

With our multiplatform offering, CIMA members will have access to a wealth of tailored information, data, ideas and knowledge. With the creative and commercial talent at our disposal, we believe we can take CIMA on to meet its ambitions as a global player.
London (Vocus/PRWEB) 16 March 2011
Seven, the award-winning content agency, has won a major contract, which sees it managing the entire media portfolio of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
Following a competitive pitch, Seven has taken on the publishing of the monthly business-to-business magazine Financial Management, as well as the quarterly thought leadership journal, Excellence in Leadership. The deal also involves management of the CIMA MYJOBS portal. Seven is responsible for creating all content, generating all revenue across CIMA's media channels, including the website, email activity, events, sponsorship and direct mail. The four people working in CIMA's commercial department will transfer to Seven as part of the contract.
With a growing number of 183,000 across 164 countries, CIMA members are just as likely to work for SMEs as they are for multinationals, making them arguably one of the most important workforces in the international business community.
To keep pace with global membership growth and to remain relevant to students, CIMA opted for Seven's multiplatform communications strategy. The first phase of this has been to develop a Financial Management microsite, which was launched in January and followed by a revamped Financial Management magazine. The refreshed first issue of Excellence in Leadership will be out in April.
Seven is currently developing a mobile-specific navigation and page-template to allow CIMA members to search, access and share content from a range of mobile devices, including smartphones and tablet devices. The final phase will be to develop CIMA's social media offering to promote discussion, and to share knowledge.
This fully integrated communication strategy allows CIMA to offer members a meaningful benefit delivered by their preferred media channel. It also provides CIMA with production and distribution savings and new revenue streams.
Research shows that many CIMA members are unaware of the full range of its activities. Part of the rationale behind awarding the contract to Seven is that this will improve significantly, along with the quality of the content itself.
Sean King, CEO at Seven, said: "We want to work with the best brands in every sector of our industry. CIMA is at the core of the most successful professional membership in the world. Their members are growing in the Far East and all the major growth markets, and we are very excited to be working with them. With our multiplatform offering, CIMA members will have access to a wealth of tailored information, data, ideas and knowledge. With the creative and commercial talent at our disposal, we believe we can take CIMA on to meet its ambitions as a global player, shaping its true brand heritage in a way that members and students can more positively relate to."
Ray Perry, Executive Director, Brand, Profile and Marketing, CIMA, said: "Financial Management, the institute's high-profile monthly magazine with a 170,000 circulation, is held in high regard by readers across the world and is key to us reaching our members. Seven has great editorial and design flair and understands how to give our publication a truly global feel. We look forward to working with them on this magazine and across our entire portfolio."
The B2B professional association sectors are a growing market for Seven. Clients in this space are now recognising the fact that they can work with the very best content agencies, to add value to their activities and engage their members more effectively. In 2011, this will be a real focus for Seven, as it capitalises on the success of 2010.
