The reason is that the Bernoulli Society Council has recently decided to introduce some extended benefits, but otherwise keep the membership fees for 2011 the same as for 2010 (like, e.g., free membership for PhD students). Please help us spreading the news among your colleagues, PhD students, postdocs or whoever might possibly be interested in joining the Bernoulli Society. For example, members from developing countries are offered a 70% reduction now (instead of 50%) and receive an extra reduction for the personal hard copy subscription of the Bernoulli Journal. Moreover, the list of developing countries (see www.icce2010.org/docs/developingCountries.pdf) for the latter membership and subscription was extended for 2011. Further benefits have been achieved for all Bernoulli Society members. For full information and details, please check the membership information (www.bernoulli-society.org/index.php/membership/membership-information) in the new Bernoulli Society website (www.bernoulli-society.org/) or the recent issue of BERNOULLI NEWS (http://www.bernoulli-society.org/index.php/publications/bernoulli-news). In any case, we appreciate your help in supporting this initiative for recruiting new members to our society and thank you in advance for your help. Best regards, Josef G. Steinebach (Bernoulli Society Membership Secretary) Bernoulli Society Bulletin 'E-Briefs' issue 4
