SAMAA TV Reinforces National Accountability for Environmental Conservation Through Partnership with WWF Pakistan

SAMAA TV Reinforces National Accountability for Environmental Conservation Through Partnership with WWF Pakistan

SAMAA TV and the World Wide Fund for Nature Pakistan (WWF Pakistan) join hands to create awarness on environmental issues.

(PRWEB) February 11, 2010

SAMAA TV and the World Wide Fund for Nature Pakistan (WWF Pakistan) have embarked on an innovative nation-wide partnership at WWF Pakistan's Wetlands Centre located in Kakapir Village near Sandspit. The partnership intends to enhance public awareness on critical environment challenges, bringing forth the collective and individual responsibility for nurturing the natural resources and associated biodiversity in the country.

The MoU was signed by Dr. Ghulam Akbar, Regional Director WWF and Mr. Amir Jahangir, Chief Executive Officer of SAMAA TV. Dr. Ejaz Ahmad, Deputy Director General, WWF Pakistan, Mr. Jonathan Mark Tatti, witnessed the MoU.

Mr. Anwar Naseem, Director Finance and Administration, WWF Pakistan, Ms. Marriyum Aurangzeb, Head-Corporate Relation WWF, Mr. Jonathan Mark Director SAMAA TV and Ms. Hina Akhtar, Senior Manager Strategic Communications, SAMAA TV and other senior officials of both the organizations were also present at the ceremony.

The principle platform for this MoU will be an innovative and information-rich spot called the "Conservation Minute," which will be a one-minute environment-related message every day to be jointly developed by SAMAA TV and the WWF. Other means of heightening people's environmental awareness via SAMAA TV will be through airing of documentaries, along with related talk shows and panel discussions both during regularly scheduled airtime and on significant International Environmental Days.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Amir Jahangir said, "Environmental conservation is an issue that directly effects our generation and the next. It is extremely important that we should do everything so we can not only spread awareness about this generation can do but to contribute with what we know and need to do. We should care for the environment so in return the environment cares for us".

As part of a bilateral information collecting, news sharing and capacity building component of this partnership, WWF Pakistan will engage SAMAA TV reporters and production teams in exposure visits, help them with aspects of environmental reporting and nature photography while SAMAA TV will involve WWF staff in their environmental reporting activities and keep them informed and involved in fast-breaking environmental news events.

Mr. Jahangir said that, "The world is calling out for immediate environmental conservation, which was strongly highlighted at the Copenhagen Climate Conference 2009. This conference is a classic example of how strategic resources need to be put in place and monitored if we want our world to be a place where we can live in harmony and remain accountable for our deeds. We are here today to commit to improving the state of the world by making a difference; not only make the public but also ourselves responsible for nurturing and preserving our environment. We need to start taking ownership of our existence and be responsible to what we are giving back to nature."

Key elements of the partnership include five scholarships of public university students for masters in environmental sciences in consultation with scientific research department of WWF Pakistan, launching of structured thematic green media campaigns every month for people to participate in various initiatives such as 'Say No to Plastic Bags', 'Earth Hour', 'Beach Cleaning', 'Plantation,' and 'Make Your Carbon and Water Foot Prints Small and Green', all of which are designed to be visually appealing and environmentally informative.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Ghulam Akbar said, "In the present-day society there are few values that may be considered as universally common to everyone in the world. An analysis of this kind is very hard to make and any conclusions reached may not find universal agreement. But there is one value that everyone feels; our environment and its safeguard under every different aspect. This is a value that expresses a search for a better quality of life, and that, for this reason, involves social and economic aspects, the life of enterprises and organizations."

Dr. Akbar highlighted the importance of the partnership and encouraged others in the journalism community to follow suit. Dr. Akbar also congratulated SAMAA TV for being a pioneer and leading the efforts to create an eco sensitive and aware community by using the influential electronic medium.

The program also includes outreach activities across Pakistan, where SAMAA TV in partnership with WWF has planned numerous activities to make significant difference. SAMAA has committed to keeping a dedicated journalist beat on environment so that the content is created based on research and facts co-aligned with international practices across the world. This will bring innovation into every sector in Pakistan, which is responsible for the eco-system processes.

WWF Pakistan is one of the World's biggest, most prestigeous and recognized conservation organizations and has been working in Pakistan for almost 40 years to conserve nature and ecological processes where humankind coexists with nature in complete harmony. WWF Pakistan is physically present in 28 different locations across the country.

Kirilenko Claims China Open Crown

Kirilenko Claims China Open Crown

Maria Kirilenko lifted the first trophy of her young career on Sunday when she overcame German rival Anna-Lena Groenefeld 6-3, 6-4 to capture the China Open title.

(PRWEB) September 27, 2005

Maria Kirilenko lifted the first trophy of her young career on Sunday when she overcame German rival Anna-Lena Groenefeld 6-3, 6-4 to capture the China Open title.

The Russian, due for a healthy rise in the WTA rankings after coming through for victory in one hour and 47 minutes, was playing the inaugural Tier II WTA final of her career.

Kirilenko, 18, from Moscow, improved to 36-21 this season after the breakthrough.

Groenefeld, 20, proved to be a tough competitor, throwing down six aces to only one for the winner. Kirilenko also had a few nervous moments as she converted on only five of her 16 break points.

The Russian, ranked 45th in the world, missed a chance to serve out the match in the ninth game of the second set, dropping serve after saving three break points.

But she recovered in dramatic fashion to break world No.30 Groenefeld a game later and claim victory.

“I’m so happy to have won - I still can't believe it. This is an important breakthrough for me,” said Kirilenko.

“The first four games were very difficult, but after that I settled down. Then in the second set I played very well.

“When I served for the match, I tried to think of it as just another game, but I didn't serve well. Fortunately, I was able to get the break back straight away.”

The Russian called for a trainer before the final game and had her right wrist – her racquet hand – strapped, but said it was simply a precaution.

“It’s happened before. I felt a pain there when I was hitting a backhand, so I called the trainer and she strapped it up for me. After that I was able to relax and it was OK.”

Kirilenko began the week as an outsider but the tournament lost drawcards Lindsay Davenport, Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova to injury while Serena Williams was a surprise second-round loser to ChinaÂ’s Sun Tiantian.

“Other players had to drop out, so maybe I was a little bit lucky, but I was given a chance and I took it,” said Kirilenko.

Groenefeld tried to stay positive. “Naturally, I'm disappointed, but it's still been a great week for me,” said the German. “I've had a consistent year and my ranking has gone up. I served well in the first set tonight but she just played too well.”

Before the China Open, neither Kirilenko nor Groenefeld had advanced to a final at Tier II level. Groenefeld lost a title chance earlier this year at Pattaya City, Thailand, finishing runner-up to Spanish veteran Conchita Martinez.

Kirilenko was beaten in a minor final last year in Hyderabad, India, by Australian Nicole Pratt.

The Russian needed 53 minutes to win the opening set with a break for 4-3.

But Groenefeld clawed straight back with a break to start the second; Kirilenko levelled at 1-1 with another game against serve as her opponent saved two break points before losing her edge.

Kirilenko moved up a second break for a 3-1 margin as the finish line neared, at one point leading 5-2 before Groenefeld's resistance temporarily stiffened.

“It was a very hard-fought final with both women playing some fantastic shots,” said tournament director Ekkehard Rathgeber.

“Maria Kirilenko is a worthy winner of the second China Open and we offer her our sincere congratulations on her first WTA Tour title. Our commiserations go to Anna-Lena Groenefeld who, I am sure, will win a WTA event before long.”

Rathgeber, who is also Chief Operating Officer of tournament co-organiser TOM Group Limited, an associate of Hutchison Whampoa, added: “We hope to see both players back at the China Open next year.”

KirilenkoÂ’s success came a day after semi-final opponent and best friend Sharapova was unable to continue due to a recurrence of a pectoral muscle problem which has bothered her intermittently for almost a year.

Pre - and Diagnosed Diabetics Learn a New and Effective Approach For Managing and Preventing Diabetes

Pre - and Diagnosed Diabetics Learn a New and Effective Approach For Managing and Preventing Diabetes

The innovative Living Free educational audio course becomes a life-changing tool for providing critical answers on taking control of diabetes for pre - and diagnosed diabetics.

BOSTON, MA. (PRWEB) April 25, 2006

Recent studies show those most at risk for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and diabetic complications have ingrained unhealthy lifestyles, which are extremely difficult to change. Adding to the growing threat of diabetes in America is that the most effective way to prevent and manage the deadly disease has been overlooked by the medical community. The answer is a combination of medical treatment and lifestyle fitness coaching, which facilitates and inspires positive and healthy behavioral changes in lifestyle choices.

To provide a viable solution for the complications that surround diabetes, three of North America's top lifestyle fitness coaches and diabetes experts, Alice Greene, Ann Seelye and Lisa Atkinson, today announced the official launch of their revolutionary five CD set audio course Living Free (www. livingfreediabetes. com). On this one of a kind educational program, they are joined by fitness and health advocate, Nancy Martin, who guides the listener through a simple life changing approach for separating fact from fiction and uncovering the truth about managing and preventing diabetes.

Roy Piatelli, of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, who was diagnosed with Type 2 in 1999, discovered the Living Free program to be the missing link between managing the disease and having the disease manage him. Piatelli explained: “The diabetes program gave me the information I didn’t get from my doctor or nutritionist. It was realistic, applicable and a very positive experience.”

The New York Times reported in January of 2006 that diabetes is rapidly becoming an epidemic in many cities across America. For some, such as East Harlem, one out of every five adults are living with diabetes. Those at risk often have self-esteem issues about their weight and are least likely to make their health a priority, making it difficult for doctors to get results by simply telling them to take care of themselves.

“Recently diagnosed diabetics attempt to make the necessary lifestyle changes, but they do it with limited information, support and structure to be consistent, effective or successful,” says Greene, Seelye and Atkinson, the co-creators behind Living Free. “Living Free provides the means to break through behavioral change resistance and to facilitate self-enablement and self-paced progress. They will develop healthy lifestyle practices and incorporate them into their daily routines for permanent change.”

About Living Free

Recognizing the growing frustrations and need for accurate information for those who have diabetes, as well as those who have yet to be diagnosed with the disease, respected and in demand lifestyle fitness coaches Alice Greene, Ann Seelye and Lisa Atkinson, joined forces to create Living Free (www. livingfreediabetes. com) to provide a simple, life-changing answer for managing and preventing diabetes.

Alice Greene, Ann Seelye and Lisa Atkinson are available for candid and informative interviews at 888-248-3464.

Expert Panel Creates Controversial Economic Stimulus Program

Expert Panel Creates Controversial Economic Stimulus Program

Over 22 world-class experts in the areas of weight loss, wealth creation, and relationships have joined to form a Mid Year Resolutions Teleseminar, designed to help people set new goals and resolutions for the last half of the year. Jeremy and Alissa Nelms, the creators of the project, believe that helping enough people lose body fat, create additional monthly income, and improve their relationships will have a measurable impact on the struggling economy. Several reasons why improved health, less body fat, greater income, and enhanced relationships can stimulate the economy are given. Additional details about the free teleseminar series, which starts July 1, are provided.

Prescott, AZ (PRWEB) June 26, 2008

Over 22 world-class experts in the areas of weight loss, wealth creation, and relationships have joined to form a Mid Year Resolutions Teleseminar (http://www. MidYearResolutions. com), designed to help people set new goals and resolutions for the last half of the year.

Jeremy and Alissa Nelms, the creators of the project, believe that helping enough people lose body fat, create additional monthly income, and improve their relationships will have a measurable impact on the struggling economy.

"As fitness professionals, we know it is still realistic to safely lose 50 pounds this year. This would create enormous saving on annual fuel costs in the transportation industry and a massive reduction in health care expenditures," said Jeremy, citing an article that claimed a reduction of approximately $5 billion in transportation expenses and $140 billion in obesity-related medical care…assuming people reduced their waist line.

In addition to the savings created from dropping both inches and pounds, the couple encourage people to set a resolution of creating additional monthly income. "Based on current population estimates, if only 1 out of every 150 people in the United States were able to generate an extra $500 per month by offering or improving a service or product, approximately $1 billion worth of cash would enter the US economy each and every month," stated Alissa.

For relationships, divorce is the unfortunate final outcome to approximately half of the marriages in the US, which is costly in terms of money, energy, and time. The Mid Year Resolution creators believe that making improved relationships a priority will not only save enormous legal and child support fees, but also prevent a massive loss of productivity, as people and families battle through months and even years of divorce proceedings.

Because it is a teleseminar, people will be able to receive the empowering information from their home, instead of spending money on airfare and hotel for travel to a normal seminar.

"Things are pretty bleak in the economy, so we wanted to make the experts' tips and techniques accessible to everyone that has a computer, free of charge," Jeremy said.

Some of the top experts in the world on fat loss, wealth creation, and relationships are represented in the free offering, including internet marketer Mark Joyner, Dr. Joe Vitale of the Secret, "Siren" from the American Gladiators, nutritionists for Olympic athletes and runway models, INDIE Book Award Gold Medal winners, the celebrity trainer for Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, and Rachel Nichols, as well as the president of World Wide Brands, a company which finds and rates international wholesalers, for people who wish to sell products on websites like eBay and Amazon.

Over 20 hours of expert advice and goal achievement techniques will be available from the website at http://www. MidYearResolutions. com (http://www. MidYearResolutions. com). The first calls will be released on July 1st, the official beginning of the Mid Year.
