Stars of Science Young Innovators See Dramatic Elimination

Stars of Science Young Innovators See Dramatic Elimination

DOHA, Qatar, October 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --



 Egyptian and Tunisian Candidates Triumph in Engineering Episode on MBC4 



In a dramatic elimination episode of MBC 4's Stars of Science, an "edutainment
reality" TV program initiated by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community
Development (QF), Omar Hamid of Egypt and Fawzy Othman of Tunisia delivered a spirited
defense of their prototypes to prevail over their competitors. The pair edged out Abdullah
Aldossary of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Hussam Al Hinnawi of Palestine in an episode
that featured Season 7's most diverse set of inventions yet.

The Arab world's most promising young innovators compete against each other to make
their ideas come alive on the series, which brings to fruition QF's vision of encouraging
and facilitating the region's next generation of aspiring young science and technology
innovators. Twelve candidates aged 18 to 30 are given the opportunity to come to Doha,
Qatar, where they are mentored by world-class engineering and design specialists in the
laboratories of Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), a member of Qatar Foundation.
There, the innovators are challenged as they develop their ideas from concept to potential
products.



With full hearts and frayed nerves, the candidates took turns presenting their
prototypes to the expert jury in yesterday's engineering episode. First, Fawzy explained
to the jury how his Robotic Goalie Trainer could revolutionize goalkeepers' practice
sessions by automatically shooting footballs as part of a customized program. Omar
unveiled a re-engineered, compact Prayer Chair designed to offer assistive sitting and
standing to worshippers in a mosque with physical disabilities.



Next, Hussam demonstrated how his Automatic Stair Climber Machine uses robotic,
tank-style treads for users to ascend stairs without effort at the press of a button.
Rounding out the group, Abdullah debuted his Airport Smart Chair, a lounger with many
automated features, including an alarm that notifies travelers when their plane begins
boarding, even if they are sleeping.



The jury included perennial fan favorites Mr. Yussif Abdulrahman Saleh, General
Manager of Qatar Shell Research and Technology Center, and Dr. Fouad Mrad, Executive
Director of the United Nations ESCWA regional technology center. Joining them was Dr.
Francois Gilardoni, a prominent venture capitalist and scientist from Geneva, Switzerland.



The jury, led by Dr. Gilardoni, was critical of Hussam's Automatic Stair Climber
Machine, pointing out that the machine appeared unstable while traversing stairs during
his demonstration. They noted that while Abdullah was able to prove that focus groups
liked the idea of the Airport Smart Chair, his presentation had weaknesses that raised
more questions about his prototype's utility than it answered.



Fawzy employed a skillful defense of his Robotic Goalie Trainer prototype when jurors
quizzed him about its mechanics. But Omar managed to steal the show when he presented his
Prayer Chair. All three jurors were impressed by the simple effectiveness of the invention,
as well as the perseverance Omar showed despite several early setbacks in the laboratory.



The jury scored the young innovators based on prototype performance (50 percent),
product outlook (30 percent) and the resourcefulness and leadership exhibited by the
candidate (20 percent).  



Omar outscored everyone by a large margin, earning 69 points, while Fawzy came in
second with 52.3 points. Abdullah and Hussam placed third and fourth, respectively, and
were eliminated from the competition.



"I'm humbled that the jury appreciated the potential of the Prayer Chair, as well as
its possible applications even beyond the mosque," said Omar. "I passionately believed in
my invention and its potential from day one.   Having world-class, highly sophisticated
innovation veterans recognize my project is a dream, come true. Moving forward, my goal is
to give my absolute best effort and encourage others around me to do the same - we are all
in this together."



"I have worked to develop innovative projects for years, but I can say that Stars of
Science has been a major catalyst for my success. Advancing this far is a crowning
achievement for me and a testament to the effectiveness of the program," said Fawzy. "I'm
delighted to have progressed this far, but I'm not satisfied. I will redouble my efforts
to eliminate weaknesses in my prototype, so that I can impress the jurors in the design
stage and rise above my competition."    



The next Stars of Science episode, to be shown on MBC4 Friday, November 6th at 7PM
KSA/ 4PM GMT, will see three candidates face the jury in the design stage. One of them
will be eliminated. The four finalists who survive the design stage will earn a share of
the $600,000 prize, with the winner determined in a special live final episode.

NALEO Disappointed by Republican National Committee's Decision to Suspend Only 2016 Primary Debate Partnership with Spanish-Language Network

NALEO Disappointed by Republican National Committee's Decision to Suspend Only 2016 Primary Debate Partnership with Spanish-Language Network

More than 28 million Latinos will be eligible to vote next November, ensuring the race for the White House will run through the Latino community

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) released an official statement following the Republican National Committee's (RNC) decision to suspend its 2016 primary debate partnership with NBC News and Telemundo:

"We are extremely disappointed with the Republican National Committee's (RNC) decision to suspend ties with the party's only Spanish-Language network partner for the 2016 presidential primary debates. As the nation's second largest population group, it is vital for candidates vying for the White House to directly address the issues and concerns of most importance to Latinos in both English and Spanish-Language network aired debates.

"Given the recent inflammatory rhetoric around immigration in this country, now it is not the time for the Republican Party to choose political expediency over an opportunity to engage with millions of Spanish-Language network viewing Latinos in advance of Election 2016.

"President George W. Bush made history in 2004, garnering 44 percent of the Latino vote that year. If the Republican presidential candidates hope to secure a critical level of support from this increasingly influential electorate, they will need to demonstrate a good faith effort to reach the Latino community during the primary election season.

"The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has already scheduled a 2016 primary debate with a major Spanish-Language network on March 9, 2016 in Miami. We strongly urge the RNC and Republican presidential candidates to do the same by reconsidering the decision to suspend ties with their only Spanish-Language network partner in the 2016 primary debate season.

"Failure to air a 2016 Republican primary debate on a Spanish-Language network will ultimately be a failure in reaching a key segment of Latino voters in Election 2016. With more than 28 million Latino voters eligible to cast ballots next year, failing to engage this rapidly growing electorate is not something the RNC or Republican presidential candidates can afford to do."

About NALEO
The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials is the leadership organization of the nation's more than 6,000 Latino elected and appointed officials.

FCA Partners With Lionsgate, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2," on Co-Branded Marketing Campaign Featuring Chrysler, Dodge and Ram Brands

FCA Partners With Lionsgate, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2," on Co-Branded Marketing Campaign Featuring Chrysler, Dodge and Ram Brands

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --


-- Four custom television commercials launch across the country beginning
Sunday, November 1, 2015, featuring Chrysler, Dodge and Ram brands
-- Multimedia campaign spans across television, radio, digital and social
-- Campaign champions release of the highly anticipated Lionsgate film "THE
HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY- PART 2," the final installment of "The Hunger
Games"
-- FCA is one of the presenting sponsors of "Mockingjay - Part 2" red
carpet premiere in Los Angeles on Monday, November 16
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA US LLC) and Lionsgate are joining together in a co-branded partnership, marking the premiere of the highly anticipated release of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2," the final installment of "The Hunger Games," which launches in North America on Friday, November 20. In the series of television and radio spots that will run across the country beginning Sunday, November 1 (during NFL football), FCA will pay tribute to "Mockingjay - Part 2" through four TV commercials featuring the Chrysler, Dodge and Ram brands.


"At FCA, we do not like to go traditional. We challenge the status quo, so we also questioned the well-established tradition of the end-of-the-year Tier 2 commercial. Tier 2 communication nearly plays on the 'why buys,' the most rational part of the purchase process. It is almost never relevant and rarely branded," said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer - FCA Global. "Our collaboration with 'The Hunger Games' and Lionsgate is a great example of what can be done that's unexpected. The association with such an anticipated and popular movie provides an exceptional relevance to our message. And the values shared with our three brands - the 'rebellious' Dodge, the 'hard working' Ram and the resilience of Chrysler - bring the branding element."


"We are thrilled to be partnered with FCA and are proud of this impactful and creative campaign," said Paula Kupfer, SVP of Global Partnerships and Promotions - Lionsgate. "Through Chrysler, Ram and Dodge, we have the unique opportunity to highlight the wealth of the entire 'The Hunger Games' franchise through each iconic brand's individual story."

The four TV spots, the first from the Chrysler brand premiering this Sunday, November 1, include the following:


-- Dodge brand: Two :30 spots, "Whistle" and "Playing with Fire," point to
the rebellious spirit of Katniss and "The Hunger Games," igniting a
flame that drives us.
-- Ram brand: One :30 spot, "The Official Truck of Heroes," in which Ram
acknowledges the heroes of "The Hunger Games."
-- Chrysler brand: One :30 spot, "Where You're Going," reflects the story
of Katniss, a girl who overcomes the odds to become the face of change.
FCA will also be one of the presenting sponsors of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" red carpet premiere in Los Angeles on Monday, November 16.

The blockbuster "The Hunger Games" film franchise has already grossed more than $2.3 billion at the global box office and "The Hunger Games" trilogy of books has sold more than 82 million copies.

About Lionsgate

Bell Media Renews Partnership with Yellow Pages for Shop the Neighbourhood Campaign

- #shopthehood campaign on now until Nov. 28 -

- Features segments from neighbourhoods across the country on ETALK, THE SOCIAL, and THE MARILYN DENIS SHOW -

To tweet this release: http://bmpr.ca/1GN17vt

TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2015 /CNW/ - Bell Media has renewed its support for the third edition of Yellow Pages' Shop The Neighbourhood(TM) campaign, a program designed to support small businesses by encouraging local shopping. Shop The Neighbourhood (#shopthehood) celebrates small businesses and reminds Canadians of the benefits that local shopping has in their communities.

Bell Media will promote the program across the country, with spots airing on Bell Media's English and French properties as well as multiple content integrations across Bell Media's suite of conventional, specialty, and radio properties. The campaign culminates on Saturday, Nov. 28, between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when Canadian consumers are frequently enticed by U.S. shopping deals.

"Yellow Pages' campaign has an ambitious vision that directly benefits the economic health of Canadian merchants and their neighbourhoods," said Debbie Drutz, Vice-President, Bell Media Mix. "It's our mission to deliver a strategy that brings this brand idea to life across the country and we've engaged a huge lineup of media personalities to help rally Canadians to shop locally."

"Shop The Neighbourhood is our largest event of the year and we're very pleased with the support shown by Bell Media in helping us promote local spending and small business support," said Paul Brousseau, Vice-President, Brand Communications, Yellow Pages. "In a global marketplace, it can be easy to forget the positive impact our dollars have when spent close to home and the difference one sale can make for a small business, and in turn, our neighbourhoods."

Hosts and experts from THE MARILYN DENIS SHOW, THE SOCIAL, and ETALK will profile a number of Canadian neighbourhoods, with interesting facts, shops, and interviews with locals, in addition to features on CANADA AM, and Bell Media radio programs.


-- Four experts from THE MARILYN DENIS SHOW: Charles MacPherson (a.k.a.

will show off their favourite neighbourhoods on the CTV daytime program.
-- On THE SOCIAL, Co-Hosts Melissa Grelo, Cynthia Loyst, Lainey Lui, and
Traci Melchor, and fashion expert Erica Wark, venture home to show
viewers what their neighbourhoods have to offer.
-- On ETALK, Ben Mulroney, Elaine Lui, Liz Trinnear, Danielle Graham, and
Devon Soltendieck will explore unique neighbourhoods in four major
Canadian cities, Vancouver-Gastown, Calgary-Inglewood, Halifax, and
Toronto-Rosedale, and Toronto-Queen West.
-- CANADA AM will visit local merchants in Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa,
Vancouver, and Halifax for live morning segments.
-- The campaign will also include discussions on local radio stations,
30-second commercial spots on CTV as well as Bell Media's English and
French specialty TV channels including Canal Vie, Canal D, Z, VRAK,
Canal D Investigation, MusiMax, MusiquePlus, Séries+, and Historia.

multi-format, multi-market, out-of-home blitz with advertising at street
level and on digital superboards in both official languages.

The show is currently celebrating the countdown to its 50th anniversary and remains a consistent favorite among critics and fans alike. Days of our Lives is produced by Corday Productions Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. Ken Corday is the executive producer with co-executive producers Albert Alarr and Greg Meng. Josh Griffith and Dena Higley are the co-head writers. Days of our Lives airs nationally on NBC in the United States and in over 25 countries internationally. The show has garnered 43 Emmy Awards, including most recently 2013 and 2015 Outstanding Daytime Drama, and 262 nominations, as well as multiple People's Choice Awards, GLAAD Media Awards, and Prism Awards. The show's success stems from its consistent commitment to excellence in writing and storytelling - supported by a diverse ensemble of performers - and an uncanny knack for anticipating viewer interests. With its mix of classic genre traditions and groundbreaking narratives reflecting modern life, Days of our Lives remains a perennial favorite among viewers of all ages.

Days of our Lives is set in the fictitious Midwestern town of Salem. The core families are the Bradys, the Hortons, and the DiMeras, and the multi-layered storylines involve elements of romance, adventure, mystery, comedy and drama.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rising star Pia Mia is set to do it again with the singer-songwriter's second major label single, "Touch," which is now available for digital download and streaming. "Touch" was produced and co-written by BLOOD (Justin Bieber's "Sorry") and the award-winning Stargate (#1 hits for Beyonce, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, and Wiz Khalifa). Also co-writing was the team of Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter (Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani).

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151030/282184

The sensuous and pumpin' "Touch" follows her debut single "Do It Again" which features Chris Brown and Tyga. It has sold more than 600,000 copies and has been streamed more than 53 million times worldwide. The official video has earned an astonishing 106 million views to date (with an average of one million new views a day) for the Wolfpack/Interscope recording artist since being issued in May.

The precocious Pia Mia was born and raised in Guam, from where her YouTube covers of hits catapulted the island native to Los Angeles. After a one-year production deal with Babyface, in 2014 the then 16 year old formed her own record label, Wolfpack Entertainment; signed with Interscope Records; and released her debut EP, The Gift, whose "On My Mind" also appeared on NOW That's What I Call Music! Vol. 50. She also collaborated with Chance the Rapper on "Fight For You" for the soundtrack to the motion picture Divergent.

Pia Mia is in the studio working on music for her soon-to-be-released and greatly anticipated debut album.

Kidde, Country Music Star Craig Morgan Launch New Ad Campaign Showing Homeowners How To Stay Connected And Stay Safer From Fire When Away From Home

Kidde, Country Music Star Craig Morgan Launch New Ad Campaign Showing Homeowners How To Stay Connected And Stay Safer From Fire When Away From Home

Ads Will Air Surrounding "The 49th Annual CMA Awards" Nov. 4 On ABC

MEBANE, N.C., Oct. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Country Music entertainer Craig Morgan and Kidde Fire Safety are encouraging families to be fire safe and stay connected to home. The televised ad campaign features the TV host, military veteran and Country Music chart-topper along with Kidde's new RemoteLync(TM) Monitor and Camera, and Kidde's Worry Free smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Kidde, a leading manufacturer of residential fire safety products, is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

Filmed on location with the Dickson, Tennessee Fire Department, the 30- and 15-second spots, featuring Black River Entertainment recording artist Craig Morgan, began airing on ABC television stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Houston, Raleigh, Fresno and Nashville in connection with "The 49(th) Annual CMA Awards" on ABC on Nov. 4. Morgan and Kidde representatives will join national and local fire service leaders for an official "kick off" event the morning of the CMA Awards in Nashville.

"As a former first responder, I know danger can strike at any time and I want to know my family is safe whenever I leave home," shared Morgan. "I'm glad to work with Kidde to help keep other families safe and help them find simple solutions to keep them connected to home." In 2011, the Country Music star put his EMT training to use and rescued two children from a burning house in his home state.

"Working with Craig Morgan and the Dickson Fire Department was a great experience," said Chris Rovenstine, vice president of marketing, Kidde. "This is our fourth year locally sponsoring the CMA Awards on ABC. Kidde's mission, to help protect family and property from fire, directly aligns with the core values of many Country Music fans -- family, home and safety. It's a partnership that resonates and that will hopefully help save lives and keep families connected."

Kidde's RemoteLync Monitor and Camera are Wi-Fi enabled devices that give homeowners simple, smart, security when they're away from home. The plug-in monitor sends an alert upon hearing a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm and the cordless camera instantly records and sends video upon sensing motion. In addition, Kidde's Worry-Free alarms are designed to simplify choosing the right alarm for the right location. They make up the first UL-listed comprehensive line of smoke, CO and combination alarms containing a sealed, lithium battery that lasts 10 years -- eliminating low battery chirps and providing nonstop protection.

The campaign with Morgan also includes a 30-second public service announcement focusing on simple home fire safety steps:


1. Replace outdated smoke alarms every 10 years. Consider installing smoke
alarms with a 10-year sealed-in, tamper-proof battery.
2. Place fire extinguishers within reach on every level of your home.
3. Install UL-listed CO alarms on each floor and near bedrooms.
4. Create and practice an escape plan with your family.
5. Commit to being a safety hero. Staying fire safe helps keep your family
safer and reduces the risk of injury and death to firefighters.
