In close coordination with the Swiss Crime Prevention SPK, the new
Sprick community was created. The safety of the children was just as important in the design as contemporary functionality, says Spick publishing director Roger Grolimund. Children can now create their own profile on Spick.ch, upload photos and videos, communicate with friends and post their own text contributions.
However, parental consent is also required by e-mail. This means that no child can access the Internet uncontrolled. And once they are online, they will find tips and advice on safe surfing and can contact one of the Spick moderators at any time if they have any problems.
The Spick community is part of the completely redesigned website of the Swiss children's and youth magazine. The fresh design also includes more cross-media content. In addition to the puzzle page in the magazine, there will also be Sudokus online in future and additional downloads for some craft tips. Tips and answers from the magazine are archived on the Internet and can be accessed with just one click.

The negotiations on the part of Springer were conducted by parts of the Springer management and the owners of the Springer Group, Cinven and Candover. Springer is the world's second-largest publishing group in the field of science, technology and medicine (STM) and a leader in the provision of electronic content from science and research.

The review is expected to be completed in mid to late January or early February 2010, according to a Springer press release on Friday.
Springer CEO Derk Haank said: "The discussions between Springer's management and EQT have been constructive and collegial. I am confident that this marks the beginning of an exciting and successful new chapter for us and our new partners at EQT and GIC. Our customers and partners in particular will benefit from further investments in this area. This is the best solution for the company, our employees and shareholders." Springer-Springer was advised by Goldman Sachs and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.

The publishing group is also a provider of specialist publications in Europe, particularly in German-speaking countries and the Netherlands.

More than 1,000 different types of cheese are counted in France - of which 45 currently have the AOC seal and 42 the protected designation of origin AOP. The "Vive le Käse" campaign launched a photo contest on the Vivelekaese.ch website in honor of this great cheese diversity and is also already present on the Facebook online platform with over 800 fans and an online game. Participation in the photo contest is simple. All that is needed is a picture showing the cheese fan together with his favorite French cheese. Interesting prizes await the winners.
In addition to simply imparting knowledge, the campaign aims to bring Swiss consumers closer to a piece of the French "savoir vivre". The campaign also calls this: "Les moments du bien vivre" - or in other words: "Simply live well!". To this end, recipes are regularly posted on Facebook, links are posted, or people are simply asked for the favorite cheeses of the already more than 800 fans. In addition, fans can play a cheese game to discover which type of cheese they like best.
At the heart of the campaign are the four fictional personalities Caroline Brie - the delicate dreamer, Julia Camembert - the refined seductress, Urs Munster - the spicy adventurer, and Thoma Bleu - the vigorous companion. The four personalities will accompany the campaign during the next months.
"Vive le Cheese" is sponsored by the French dairy association CNIEL, the Centre National Interprofessionnel de l'Economie Laitière and the organization FranceAgriMer. The implementation in the seven European countries Belgium, Holland, Spain, Germany, Italy, England and Switzerland is organized by Sopexa.
