I met LeBron James a few years back and he autographed a Sports Illustrated magazine I have. It’s obviously something I want to hold on to forever but I’m worried about it falling apart over the years. Any tips on how to preserve a magazine?

Woman on Top: the World of Women’s Magazine Publishing
Filed Under Publishing | Comments Off
Gargi Nath asked:
To date, there are at least 115 magazines published around the world that specially caters to women. The women’s magazine publishing has been a lucrative industry. These magazines do not only focus on fashion, shoes and shopping but also to any interest that concerns women. May it be about parenting, health, sports or any imaginable activity that women would be interested into like pottery, tattoo or woodworking. The following are some of the famous and the not-so-ordinary titles in the women’s magazine publishing.
The Lady’s Magazine
Also known as, hold your breaths, Entertaining Companion for the Fair Sex, Appropriated Solely to the Use and Amusement, the Lady’s Magazine is the first women’s magazine. It is a monthly magazine that was produced from 1770 to 1837.
Love, Pearls and Swine Magazine
The unique name of this online magazine is derived from Matthew 7:6 of the Holy Bible. The verse says, Don’t give what is holy to unholy people. Don’t give pearls to swine! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you. The magazine aims to guide young women who want to get to most out of living in a modern society while still upholding their Christian values. It takes on different topics, from growing pains and faith to fashion and beauty. Abi Olukeye is the magazine’s current Editor-in-Chief.
Marie-Claire
Who is Marie-Claire? Jean Provoust, the magazine’s creator, must be thinking of the ideal French woman when he named this magazine when it was first published in 1937. When WWII began, the publication of the magazine was ceased until 1954. Jean Provoust’s daughter Evelyn later took over when he retired in 1976. The magazine’s theme is More than Just a Pretty Face. It makes sure that the magazines talks about topics that are relevant to the modern woman. They include politics and social issues alongside fashion, beauty and lifestyle in their issues. It is distributed to twenty-two countries other than the United States.
Sports Illustrated for Women
Sports Illustrated for Women is published by the one of the industry’s largest magazine publishing firm, the Time Inc. From ten issues per year, Sports Illustrated Women or SI Women has published later on two magazines in a month. The magazine has been attracting women’s attention since women are more interested as participants when it comes to sports. Sadly, the magazine only lasted for two years with twenty issues on it.
Zan-e Rouze
Zan-e-Rouze is the Iranian translation of Today’s Woman. It is published in Iran by the publishing house Kayhan during Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s rule. Kayhan is also known to publish other magazines for sports and children. After the Shah of Iran was overthrown in 1979, the company continued its operation in London. Zan-e-Rouze has then shifted its focus, from gossips to women empowerment.
Seventeen
Every American teenager must have heard this magazine. Seventeen has been first published in 1944 and still continues to enjoy popularity among girls in their tweens and early twenty’s. The magazine features beauty, fashion, health articles and celebrity news. They also have a regular section called Dear Seventeen which gives advices to young women. It has six other international editions in South Africa, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, India and in Hispanic countries.
The Delineator
This magazine’s name may sound like The Terminator but it is definitely a women’s magazine. It is subtitled as A Journal of Fashion, Culture, and Fine Arts. It was published from 1873 to 1937 by the magazine publishing house Butterick. Although it has already ceased publication, the magazine is still a sensation among Art Deco lovers.
It features Victorian styled fashion on its cover with careful details on the clothes, perhaps to serve as a guide for the tailors.

Scholarships for your Children That are not in the Main Stream
Filed Under Education | Comments Off
Michael C. Podlesny asked:
We all want our children to go onto college and get a great education, but the ever daunting task, of how does one pay for this besides the use of college loans. One route are scholarships. Believe it or not there are a variety of scholarship programs that your child may qualify for, we list some of them here.
Regardless of how you feel on the imigration subject, one thing is for sure Mexicans are now doing their part of helping fellow Mexicans back in their home country, to stay, there get a good education and hopefully build up the country, or at least so says a recent report in Newsweek.
The report says that Mexican migrants in the U.S. are funding scholarships in Mexico so people there will not feel they have to leave. The scholarships are organized and run by the non-profit organization Grupo Indaparapeo. The funds help college scholarships for Mexico`s youth, giving them money for books and transportation that, according to the report, “the Mexican government is willing to match.”
If it is sports scholarships that peak your interested you`ll be happy to hear of a recent report in Sports Illustrated where, “high school football players specializing in placekicking is on the increase.” The report continues to say that, “Universities are beginning to hand out more scholarships for talented placekickers, leading to the surge of interest in the position.” Joe Lemire or Sports Illustrated his findings show of one such individual who took advantage of this offer. “Blair Walsh received offers from schools such as Alabama, Florida, and Georgia following his junior year performance,” claims Lemire. “In contrast, Chris Sailer was one of only a dozen high school kickers and punters to receive a scholarship in 1995.” Showing that the increase for this positions is on the rise.
So maybe your child is not the next great athlete coming out of high school, but without a doubt has the grade to get an academic scholarship. Look into ones that are in the mainstream as noted by the Chronicle of Higher Education. In their March 2007 issue they list private donations and funding for education and research. According to the article, “The William Randolph Hearst Foundation in New York city endowed two scholarships, one at Bethune-Cookman University and the other at Oberlin College.” They also mentioned that “The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in Princeton, New Jersey donated to the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque to establish a national center for health policy.” They also mentioned private donations for scholarships noting that, “Mariann MacDonald donated to the University of Pennsylvania to create a professorship in ****** cancer care at the Abramson Cancer Center.”
These are just a few of the scholarship avenues you can look into. Not all scholarships present themselves in such a way that are black and white. Sometimes you have to go after them in a different manner. As always discuss options and opportunities with counselors at your child`s school as well as individuals in the proper departments at the colleges or universities your child may attend.
