query: While there has been a mean rise of a little more than 3mm per year worldwide since the 1990s, in the last decade, the NOAA Virginia Key tide gauge just south of Miami Beach has measured a 9mm rise annually.”

positive: Sea level rise A sea level rise is an increase in the volume of water in the world 's oceans , resulting in an increase in global mean sea level . Sea level rise is usually attributed to global climate change by thermal expansion of the water in the oceans and by melting of Ice sheets and glaciers on land . Melting of floating ice shelves or icebergs at sea raises sea levels only slightly .   Sea level rise at specific locations may be more or less than the global average . Local factors might include tectonic effects , subsidence of the land , tides , currents , storms , etc. .  Sea level rise is expected to continue for centuries . Because of the slow inertia , long response time for parts of the climate system , it has been estimated that we are already committed to a sea-level rise of approximately 2.3 m for each degree Celsius of temperature rise within the next 2,000 years . IPCC Summary for Policymakers , AR5 , 2014 , indicated that the global mean sea level rise will continue during the 21st century , very likely at a faster rate than observed from 1971 to 2010 . Projected rates and amounts vary . A January 2017 NOAA report suggests a range of GMSL rise of 0.3 -- 2.5 m possible during the 21st century .   Sea level rises can considerably influence human populations in coastal and island regions and natural environments like marine ecosystems .

positive: Global warming Global warming , also referred to as climate change , is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth 's climate system and its related effects . Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming . Many of the observed changes since the 1950s are unprecedented in the instrumental temperature record which extends back to the mid 19th century , and in paleoclimate proxy records over thousands of years .   In 2013 , the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) Fifth Assessment Report concluded that `` It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century . '' The largest human influence has been emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide , methane and nitrous oxide . Climate model projections summarized in the report indicated that during the 21st century the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 0.3 to for their lowest emissions scenario and 2.6 to for the highest emissions scenario . These findings have been recognized by the national science academies of the major industrialized nations and are not disputed by any scientific body of national or international standing .   Future climate change and associated impacts will differ from region to region around the globe . Anticipated effects include warming global temperature , rising sea levels , changing precipitation , and expansion of deserts in the subtropics . Warming is expected to be greater over land than over the oceans and greatest in the Arctic , with the continuing retreat of glaciers , permafrost and sea ice . Other likely changes include more frequent extreme weather events including heat waves , droughts , heavy rainfall with floods and heavy snowfall ; ocean acidification ; and species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes . Effects significant to humans include the threat to food security from decreasing crop yields and the abandonment of populated areas due to rising sea levels . Because the climate system has a large `` inertia '' and greenhouse gases will stay in the atmosphere for a long time , many of these effects will not only exist for decades or centuries , but will persist for tens of thousands of years .   Possible societal responses to global warming include mitigation by emissions reduction , adaptation to its effects , building systems resilient to its effects , and possible future climate engineering . Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) ,  whose ultimate objective is to prevent dangerous anthropogenic climate change . Parties to the UNFCCC have agreed that deep cuts in emissions are required and that global warming should be limited to well below 2.0 C-change relative to pre-industrial levels , with efforts made to limit warming to 1.5 C-change .   Public reactions to global warming and concern about its effects are also increasing . A global 2015 Pew Research Center report showed a median of 54 % consider it `` a very serious problem '' . There are significant regional differences , with Americans and Chinese ( whose economies are responsible for the greatest annual CO2 emissions ) among the least concerned .

negative: Ecopath Ecopath with Ecosim ( EwE ) is a free ecosystem modelling software suite , initially started at NOAA by Jeffrey Polovina , but has since primarily been developed at the UBC Fisheries Centre of the University of British Columbia . In 2007 , it was named as one of the ten biggest scientific breakthroughs in NOAA 's 200-year history . The NOAA citation states that Ecopath `` revolutionized scientists ' ability worldwide to understand complex marine ecosystems '' . Behind this lie more than two decades of development work in association with Villy Christensen , Carl Walters , Daniel Pauly , and other fisheries scientists , followed with the provision of user support , training and co-development collaborations . Per January 2012 there are 6000 + registered users in 150 + countries .

negative: Tidal flooding Tidal flooding , also known as sunny day flooding or nuisance flooding , is the temporary inundation of low-lying areas , especially streets , during exceptionally high tide events , such as at full and new moons . The highest tides of the year may be known as the king tide , with the month varying by location . In Florida , controversy was created when state-level government mandated that the term `` nuisance flooding '' and other terms be used in place of terms such as sea level rise , climate change and global warming , prompting allegations of climate change denial , specifically against Governor Rick Scott . This amid Florida , specifically South Florida and the Miami metropolitan area being one of the most at risk area in the world for the potential effects of sea level rise , and where the frequency and severity of tidal flooding events increased in the 21st century . The issue is more bipartisan in South Florida , particularly in places like Miami Beach , where a several hundred million dollar project is underway to install more than 50 pumps and physically raise roads to combat the flooding , mainly along the west side of South Beach , formerly a mangrove wetland where the average elevation is less than one meter ( 3.3 feet ) . In the Miami area , where the vast majority of the land is below 10 ft , even a one-foot increase over the average high tide can cause widespread flooding . The 2015 and 2016 king tide event levels reached about 4 ft MLLW , 3 ft above mean sea level , or about 2 ft NAVD88 , and nearly the same above MHHW . While the tide range is very small in Miami , averaging about 2 ft , with the greatest range being less than 2 m , the area is very acute to minute differences down to single inches due to the vast area low elevation . NOAA tide gauge data for most stations shows current water level graphs relative to a fixed datum , as well as mean sea level trends for some stations . During the king tides , the local Miami area tide gauge at Virginia Key shows levels running at times 1 ft or more over datum .   Fort Lauderdale has installed over one hundred tidal valves since 2013 to combat flooding . Fort Lauderdale is nicknamed the `` Venice of America '' due to its roughly 165 mi of canals .   Tidal flooding is capable of majorly inhibiting natural gravity-based drainage systems in low-lying areas when it reaches levels that are below visible inundation of the surface , but which are high enough to incapacitate the lower drainage or sewer system . Thus , even normal rainfall or storm surge events can cause greatly amplified flooding effects . One passive solution to intrusion through drainage systems are one way back-flow valves in drainage ways . However , while this may prevent a majority of the tidal intrusion , it also inhibits drainage during exceptionally high tides that shut the valves . In Miami Beach , where resilience work is underway , the pump systems replace insufficient gravity-based systems .

negative: Miami International Boat Show The Miami International Boat Show is an annual event in February , produced by the National Marine Manufacturers Association in Miami , Florida , United States . It had previously been held in three separate venues ; two in Downtown Miami , and the other in Miami Beach . In 2016 it was held at Miami Marine Stadium Park and Basin on Virginia Key , while Strictly Sail remained at Miamarina at Bayside Marketplace Marina . Over 1,700 companies that are NMMA members , produce more than 80 % of the marine products used by recreational boaters and anglers in the United States . The North American pleasure boat market represents fully half of the global demand for these products and services , roughly $ 39.5 billion annually in just the United States alone .   The current venues for the show are :   Miami Marine Stadium Park & Basin  Strictly Sail at Miamarina at Bayside Marketplace Marina

negative: Obesity in Australia Obesity in Australia is an `` epidemic '' with `` increasing frequency . '' The Medical Journal of Australia found that obesity in Australia more than doubled in the two decades preceding 2003 , and the unprecedented rise in obesity has been compared to the same health crisis in America . The rise in obesity has been attributed to poor eating habits in the country closely related to the availability of fast food since the 1970s , sedentary lifestyles and a decrease in the labour workforce .

negative: Rising Tide Studios Rising Tide Studios ( RTS ) is an American company that has produced news and events related to online business-to-business ventures .   Founded by Jason McCabe Calacanis in 1996 , their first publication , the Silicon Alley Reporter , debuted as a 16-page photocopied newsletter covering Silicon Alley in New York City . During the dot-com boom it evolved into a full-color , glossy magazine .   They eventually developed Digital Coast Reporter to cover the West Coast and produced annual events including Silicon Alley , Internet Healthcare , The International Network , Rising Tide Summit , and Venture Capital .   After the dot-com bubble burst , several papers folded , and the company has since been sold to Dow Jones , which operates the entity as Venture Reporter .

negative: The Setai Miami Beach The Setai Hotel and Residences , also known as The Setai Miami Beach and The Setai South Beach , is a high rise luxury hotel and condominium located in South Beach , Miami Beach , Florida . The building has 38 floors and is 117.5 meters tall , making it one of the tallest buildings in Miami Beach . The hotel includes a recording studio and a 10000 sqft penthouse that includes a rooftop pool and jacuzzi .

negative: Pizza layout A pizza layout is a model railway laid out as a circle of the smallest workable radius of curve , on the smallest possible square or circular baseboard . This baseboard can be so small as to look as if it would fit into a pizza box , hence the name .   Pizza layouts are not serious scale models , but are to provide a little humour . Despite their simplicity , they are rarely built by beginners but are usually light relief for an experienced modeller . As they are quick to build and lower budget they are often used as a theme for exhibitions and contests . Many are also seasonally themed , such as Christmas layouts . They often provide an opportunity to experiment with a different gauge and scale from a modeller 's regular .   Building this minimum-size layout requires a small gauge . Most pizzas use 9mm gauge , as for N gauge . Z gauge and the esoteric smaller gauges would be useful too , but their costs are more than 9mm and there are fewer options available . Other gauges up to the popular H0/OO 16.5 mm gauge are also used , but almost only as narrow gauge models .   Most pizzas model narrow gauge railways . This combines the narrow physical gauge needed with a larger and more visible scale . Narrow gauge prototypes also have short wheelbases , slow running speeds and so are often more accepting of tight curve radii . Where standard gauge is modelled , this is only for N , Z or smaller gauges , H0 requiring a size greater than the usual ` pizza ' format , although this can just be achieved in 2 ' diameter .   For an 00-9 or H0e pizza , using 9mm gauge and either 4mm or 3.5 mm scale , a workable minimum curve radius is 6 '' , for an overall baseboard diameter of 15 in , within the pizza box format . Some model companies , such as Tomix , even produce extra-small radius curves of 4 '' radius , for modelling trams . These have been used to model at N gauge within a 9 '' baseboard .   Gn15 gauge models one of the smallest prototypical gauges , 15 inch minimum gauge railways . This gives the greatest combination of small curve radius and largest scale .   Nn3 Z gauge Z gauge has even been used to make layouts inside a large glass bottle .   The layout is a simple circular loop . Points are limited to just one , perhaps two , small sidings and these are more decorative than useful for shunting . A siding to the outside of the loop requires a larger baseboard . A siding inside the loop may do so too : the siding 's radius must be smaller than that of the running loop , which is already close to the minimum radius . Allowing the loop to be a little larger , so as to permit a tighter siding curve within it , means a larger loop and baseboard . This can be done most compactly by stretching the circular loop to an oval , but keeping the same radius with an added straight ; the point comes off the straight portion . In rare cases , a fiddle yard has been incorporated into a hidden part of the layout .   Although rare , some pizza layouts have also used multi-level spiral layouts , with something of the rabbit warren to them .

negative: Short Beach (Oregon) Short Beach is a 1,000-meter stretch of beach on the northern Oregon Coast in the United States . It is not named for its length . Locals guess that both the beach and the creek that runs onto it -- Short Creek , several miles in length -- were named after an early resident of the area . Just south of Cape Meares State Park , and a bit north of Oceanside , the beach is hidden from the land except for a brief stretch of road which crosses the dam across Short Creek .   The seasonal shingle beach is noted for the availability of agates , ( the beach is sometimes erroneously called `` Agate Beach '' ) and jasper , sometimes called `` coastal jade '' or `` beach jade '' . Agates and jasper become more available after heavy winter or spring storms , which often cause landslides or rockfalls , bringing fresh parent rock to the beach , where the upper slope is a rock berm . These rock collapses eventually become the smooth , rounded rock familiar on beaches by the pounding surf that brought them down .   Other attractions are the mussels , which can be gathered from offshore rocks at low tides , surf fishing , and beach fires . An occasional surfer may be seen , as well as paragliders who , now that there is safe access , sometimes land on the beach .   Offshore , and partly onshore , are a number of rocks belonging to the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge . In recent years , both these and the higher land around Short Beach have been a rough testimony to the rising sea level , as the higher surf brings increased collapse of rock faces and shoreward erosion along the bluff of over five feet in the last decade .   The sand level has been dropping steadily ever since the first dams went up on the Columbia River and other area rivers , and continues to drop , leading to a local joke that `` Short Beach '' means it is getting very short on beach .

negative: List of tallest buildings in Florida This list of tallest buildings in Florida ranks the tallest buildings ( 170 m or higher ) in the U.S. state of Florida by height . The tallest building in the state is the 82-story Panorama Tower , which rises 868 ft in the City of Miami 's Brickell neighborhood and was completed in 2017 .   Florida has 19 buildings that are 170 m or higher . The majority are located in the City of Miami , and over 85 % are in the Greater Miami area while the rest are in the Tampa and Jacksonville areas . Of the 19 tallest buildings in Florida , 13 are in the City of Miami , 2 are in Tampa , 2 are in Miami Beach , 1 is in Sunny Isles Beach , and 1 is in Jacksonville .   The majority of the skyscrapers in Miami are within the greater Downtown Miami area , specifically the neighborhoods of the Central Business District ( Historic Downtown Miami ) , Brickell , Omni , and Edgewater . Thomas Kramer is well known for the negotiations with local Miami-Dade County governments that allowed the building of the tallest towers in Miami . His influence is evident in the construction of high-rises in Miami Beach , particularly in the South Beach neighborhood of `` South of Fifth '' .

negative: Akoya Condominiums Akoya Condominiums is a 47 story , high-rise residential condominium located in Miami Beach , Florida . Built in 2004 and rising 150 meters ( 492 feet ) , Akoya Condominiums is the third tallest building in Miami Beach , after the 170 meter Blue and Green Diamonds . It was built as one of the last very tall buildings permitted in Miami Beach before a 1998 height ordinance , capping buildings at 200 feet , went into effect .   The Akoya Condominiums were originally planned to be the White Diamond . Akoya has more floors than the Blue and Green Diamond buildings but does not have the diamond-shaped roof that they have . The original developer of the projects , Brazilian businessman Múcio Athayde , was forced to sell the White Diamond project in 2001 due to financial stresses that later put the other two buildings into bankruptcy . The project was completed by the MerCo Group , controlled by developer Homero Meruelo , which later also bought the nearby Deauville Hotel . The name `` Akoya '' , referring to a type of cultured pearl , was chosen to replace the diamond theme .   Akoya Condominiums is located along the beach of the Atlantic Ocean on Collins Avenue . Akoya Condominiums has 528 units , with 11 units per floor which translates to 48 floors . A modern fitness center , a tennis court , a swimming pool and racquetball facilities are available exclusively for Akoya 's residents .

negative: Africa Rising Africa Rising is a term coined to describe the rapid economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa since 2000 and the belief in the inevitability of further , rapid development on the continent . According to The Financial Times , Africa Rising is a `` narrative that improved governance means the continent is almost predestined to enjoy a long period of mid-to-high single-digit economic growth , rising incomes and an emerging middle class . '' It has been particularly associated with the democratisation of African states since the end of the Cold War , comparative peace , greater availability of mobile phones and the Internet , and increase in African consumer spending as well as a growth in entrepreneurship . In the decade between 2005 and 2015 , the economy of Africa as a whole increased by 50 per cent in contrast with a world average of 23 per cent .   The term is widely used ( including by the BBC ) and was the title of a 2014 conference held in Mozambique by the International Monetary Fund . Both The Economist and Time have devoted front-pages to the Africa Rising narrative . The term has been criticised by some as being a `` stereotype '' of Africa as a continent `` brimming with mobile phones and energetic businesses '' . Critics have also argued that the narrative has been undermined by experience of the West African Ebola virus epidemic ( 2013 -- 16 ) and the growth of conflict in some parts of the continent . Some have also claimed that the 18 million Africans considered `` middle class '' are too small a proportion ( 3.3 percent ) of the overall population to justify claims of rapid social change brought about by Africa Rising .   The term has also spawned a number of spin-off ideas , such as `` Latin America Rising '' and `` Asia Rising '' .

negative: Tequesta Point Tequesta Point is a complex of residential high-rises in Downtown Miami , Florida , United States . It consists of three skyscraper buildings located on Brickell Key , an urban island to the east of the Central Business District . Three Tequesta Point , the tallest of the three , was completed in 2001 . It is 480 ft ( 146 m ) tall , and has 46 floors . Two Tequesta Point , the central building of the complex , was completed in 1999 . It is 410 ft ( 125 m ) tall , and has 40 floors . One Tequesta Point , the original building of the complex , was built in 1995 . It contains 30 floors and is at the northern end of Brickell Key .  The buildings , when opened , were some of the tallest Miami had to offer ; however , since the start of the building boom in the early 2000s , many skyscrapers which are much taller than the Tequesta Point buildings have been built . Nevertheless , because the complex is located directly on Biscayne Bay , the buildings can still be seen from Miami Beach and from boats in the bay .

negative: List of tallest buildings in Virginia Beach, Virginia The skyline of Virginia Beach remained relatively low - to mid-rise until the 2000s which brought the construction of the 23-story Armada Hoffler Tower in 2002 .   The Westin Virginia Beach Town Center took the top spot from Armada Hoffler Tower when it was completed in 2008 with 38 stories along the newly revitalized Virginia Beach Town Center . The Westin Virginia Beach Town Center has been the tallest building in the city and Virginia since completion in 2008 .   The city has two skylines : One at Town Center and one at the Oceanfront . The following ranking is a compilation of both .

negative: Rising moving average The rising moving average is a technical indicator used in stock market trading . Most commonly found visually , the pattern is spotted with a moving average overlay on a stock chart or price series . When the moving average has been rising consecutively for a number of days , this is used as a buy signal , to indicate a rising trend forming .   While the rising moving average indicator is commonly used by investors without realising , there has been significant backtesting on historic stock data to calculate the performance of the rising moving average . Simulations have found that shorter rising averages , within the 3 - to 10-day period , are more profitable overall than longer rising averages ( e.g. 20 days ) . These have only been tested on US equity stocks however .

negative: Health in Lithuania As of 2012 Lithuanian life expectancy at birth was 70.7 years for males and 80.7 for females , and the infant mortality rate was 6.2 per 1,000 births . This was the lowest average of any European country , according to the OECD . The difference between male life expectancy and female is unusually large . Since 1990 most other European countries have increased their life expectancy by more .   The annual population growth rate increased by 0.3 % in 2007 . At 30.4 people per 100,000 , Lithuania has seen a dramatic rise in suicides in the post-Soviet years , and now records the third highest suicide rate in the world . Lithuania also has the highest homicide rate in the EU .

negative: History of lobbying in the United States The history of lobbying in the United States is a chronicle of the rise of paid advocacy generally by special interests seeking favor in lawmaking bodies such as the United States Congress . While lobbying has usually been understood as activity by paid professionals to try to influence key legislators and executives , it has been around since the early days of the Republic , and affects every level of government from local municipal authorities to the federal government in Washington . In the nineteenth century , lobbying was mostly conducted at the state level , but in the twentieth century , there has been a marked rise in activity , particularly at the federal level in the past thirty years . While lobbying has generally been marked by controversy , there have been numerous court rulings protecting lobbying as free speech .

negative: Edgewater (Miami) Edgewater is a neighborhood in Miami , Florida , United States , located north of Downtown and Omni , and south of the Upper East Side . It roughly bound by North 17th Street to the south , North 37th Street to the north , the Florida East Coast Railway and East First Avenue to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east .   Edgewater is primarily a residential neighborhood , with many historic early 20th century homes . The neighborhood has many high-rise residential towers to the east along Biscayne Bay , and historic homes elsewhere in the neighborhood . Since 2000 , the area has grown in popularity , due to its proximity to Downtown and neighborhoods such as the Design District . Recent developments in the neighborhood , have brought rapid urbanization to the area , with the construction of high-rise and mid-rise residential buildings , and more retail .

negative: Music of South Florida Music of South Florida is music from the South Florida metropolitan area , which comprises cities such as Miami , West Palm Beach , Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale .   The South Florida area has been a hub for diverse musical genres . For example , South Florida has been a hub for Southern Rap . Miami , in particular , is a `` hub '' for Latin Music in the United States . Miami bass ( also known as booty music ) , a prominent hip-hop genre in the late 1980s and early 1990s , got its start in Miami ; Luther ` Luke Skyywalker ' Campbell and his 2 Live Crew were among the more prominent Miami Bass acts , largely because of an obscenity scandal fomented by Broward County , Florida Sheriff Nick Navarro . Moreover , although not a South Florida native , Jimmy Buffett rose to prominence after moving to Key West , Florida and has long been associated with the `` South Florida lifestyle '' . Other notable South Florida-based musical performers include Gloria Estefan , Marilyn Manson , Mental Crutch , Vanilla Ice , DJ Laz , and Pitbull .

negative: Herman Beach Herman Beach is one of several beaches delimiting the shorelines of the prehistoric glacial Lake Agassiz . Of note is that the beaches of Lake Agassiz are presently not adjacent to bodies of water , and consequently , are no longer really beaches at all . Named for its proximity to Herman , Minnesota , Herman Beach was formed 11,700 years ago and runs for hundreds of miles through Minnesota and North Dakota . It has been described as a smoothly-rounded beach ridge made of gravel and sand .   In contrast to the lakebed along the northward-flowing Red River , this beach rises from the south to the north and east at a gradient of approximately 1:5000 ; this rise resulted from the isostatic rebound of the land after recession of the last ice sheet .

KKAID is linked to the design of large-scale , high-rise condominium and hospitality projects to intimate , small-scale , low-rise residential and commercial structures . Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design was founded in 1995 and in operation to date has been linked to $ 36 billion in projects globally . Miami Beach has become a global destination and Kobi Karp has shaped the hospitality landscape of the city .

negative: Climate change in Tuvalu Global warming (recent climate change) is particularly threatening in Tuvalu. This is because the average height of the islands is less than 2 metres (6.6 ft) above sea level, with the highest point of Niulakita being about 4.6 metres (15 ft) above sea level. Between 1971 and 2014, during a period of global warming, Tuvalu islands have increased in size, according to aerial photography and satellite imagery. Over four decades, there was a net increase in land area in Tuvalu of 73.5 ha (2.9%), although the changes were not uniform, with 74% of land increasing in size and 27% of land decreasing in size. The sea level at the Funafuti tide gauge has risen at 3.9 mm per year, which is approximately twice the global average.Tuvalu could be one of the first nations to be significantly impacted by rising sea levels. Not only could parts of the island be flooded but the rising saltwater table could also destroy deep rooted food crops such as coconut, pulaka, and taro. Research from the University of Auckland suggests that Tuvalu may remain habitable over the next century. However, as of March 2018, Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga stated that Tuvalu is not expanding and has gained no additional habitable land. Sopoaga has also said that evacuating the islands is the last resort.

negative: South Binness Island South Binness Island is an island in Langstone Harbour . It is 600 m long and up to 240 m wide but only rises to 2 m above Ordnance Datum . Archaeological finds include Bronze Age pottery and an unfinished Plano-convex knife .   In 1978 the island along with the other islands in Langstone harbour was acquired by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds who turned it into a bird sanctuary . Since that time unauthorised landings have been forbidden .   The Island is nesting site for black-headed gulls and the little tern . In 2008 the island had 4,886 nesting pairs of black-headed gulls and 11 nesting pairs of little terns . None of the little tern managed to raise any young that year something thought to be in part due to the number of black-headed gulls . In 2013 500 tonnes of aggregate was added to a beach on the island in order to raise its height . The hope was that the higher beach would offer little terns more nesting sites high enough to avoid the risk of them being washed away by the tide .

negative: Domestic violence in South Africa Domestic violence in South Africa has been viewed as a private matter until the last few decades . In the 2012 financial year , just over one third of the crimes against women that had been reported were prosecuted in court . Legislation has been passed to help improve the quality of life for those being abused and to prevent further abuse . Although the movement against domestic violence is a new movement , only around since the 1990s , it is making great strides in the country .

negative: American Society of Hematology The American Society of Hematology ( ASH ) is a professional organization representing hematologists . It was founded in 1958 . Its annual meeting is held in December of every year and has attracted nearly 20,000 attendees . The society publishes the medical journal Blood , one of the most cited peer-review publications in hematology .   The first official ASH meeting was held in Atlantic City , New Jersey , in April 1958 . More than 300 hematologists met together to discuss the key research and clinical issues related to blood and blood diseases . Since the first gathering , ASH has been an important member in the development of hematology as a discipline . For more than five decades , ASH has sponsored its annual meeting . Today , ASH has more than 14,000 members , many of who have made major advancements in understanding and treating blood diseases .

negative: AFL Rising Star The NAB AFL Rising Star award is given annually to a standout young player in the Australian Football League ( AFL ) . The first award was made in 1993 . Since 2007 , the winner has been presented with the Ron Evans Medal . It was originally known as the Norwich Rising Star award due to sponsorship reasons from 1993 to 1999 , Ansett sponsored the award in 2000 and 2001 and the National Australia Bank ( NAB ) has been the major sponsor since 2002 .

negative: Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Sunny Isles Beach ( SIB , officially City of Sunny Isles Beach ) is a city located on a barrier island in northeast Miami-Dade County , Florida , United States . The city is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west .   Sunny Isles Beach is an area of cultural diversity with stores lining Collins Avenue , the main thoroughfare through the city .   It is a growing resort area and developers such as Michael Dezer have invested heavily in construction of high-rise hotels and condominiums while licensing the Donald Trump name for some of the buildings for promotional purposes . Sunny Isles Beach has a central location , minutes from Bal Harbour to the south , and Aventura to the north and west .   Sunny Isles Beach was also the 2008 site of MTV 's annual `` Spring Break '' celebration , with headquarters at the local Newport Beachside Resort .

negative: Blackrock, County Louth Blackrock is a seaside village just to the south of Dundalk , County Louth , Ireland . The village is in the townland of Haggardstown . The current population of the village is about 3,000 .   In the 1950s and 60s , Blackrock was a holiday destination for people in landlocked Monaghan and Cavan . The beach that is pictured in the colourised postcards of that era ( still on sale ) was created with sand imported from beaches further down the coast , as the sand was continually washed away to contribute to the buildup of silt in Dundalk Bay . Although it is no longer considered a tourist resort , there remains a tradition of visiting Blackrock on the 15th of August ( vide the Celtic feast of Lúnasa ) .   Since the late 1960s , Blackrock has expanded significantly and has become a dormitory village of Dundalk . With the opening of the M1 motorway to Dublin , there has been another wave of expansion and it is also becoming a commuter town with access to north Dublin .   Blackrock beach and its promenade ( incorporating Blackrock 's Millennium project - a sundial which is claimed to be the largest in a public area in Ireland ) is still the focal point of the village and the site of Christmas Day fundraising events organised by Conor Hughes , an annual Raft Race , as well as several other events throughout the year . The promenade area includes a number of restaurants and public houses .   The view looking north over Dundalk Bay from the promenade toward the Cooley Mountains is impressive .   In common with a number of east coast locations , the beach has a very gentle gradient and the sea retreats about 5 km at low tide . The exposed seabed is a mixture of sand and mud flats . It is a suitable and fertile habitat for a variety of wader birds , including brent geese and dunlins . The River Fane ( to the south of Blackrock ) enters the sea as a channel crossing from south to north in front of the promenade . Even at high tide , the water level is only about 1m out to the channel , and the front is becoming popular as a safe sailboarding venue .   More recently kitesurfing is becoming more and more popular in the area . It is an ideal location for learning when the tide is out and when the tide is in because of the shallow depths and more often than not , flat water .
