New Zealand can see clearly now the rain has gone

New Zealand can see clearly now the rain has gone

Gold Coast Tourism reveals April Fools' prank to launch new content mini-series

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, April 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A storm was brewing this morning as Gold Coast Tourism played an April Fools' joke on Kiwi travelers who are well known for bringing the bad weather with them. A new set of rules was released which aimed to stop Kiwis from raining all over the popular hot holiday destination of Gold Coast.

The faux rules targeted passengers carrying cold weather clothing and items that carried any traces of precipitation including:


-- Pessimistic clothing or footwear, including sweatshirts, jackets,
hoodies, beanies, scarves or boots
-- Items carrying traces of precipitation
-- Items exposed to rain, fog, snow, hail or storms in the last 10 days
-- Umbrellas, rain jackets, ponchos or gumboots
-- Thermal or woolen clothing including merino and polypropylene
-- Hot water bottles or wheat bags
Enforced by the fictional Gold Coast Weather Protection Unit (GCWPU), the announcement introduced a new mini-series of online video content, starring Senior Constable Steve (played by Heath Franklin) and partner Kirsty Reign (played by Cienda McNamara). The GCWPU is tasked with one thing above all others: protecting the Gold Coast area from a potential Kiwi weather invasion.

The series follows the GCWPU as it takes the safety of Gold Coast's weather to heart, whether that's by tackling passengers attempting to smuggle contraband encased in fruit or by keeping a watchful eye out for those wearing extra layers on the beach.

Michelle Stone, Director of Communications at Gold Coast Tourism, said: "With 300 days of sunshine here and more than 185,000 Kiwis flocking to our city every year, the Gold Coast is a firm favourite as New Zealand's number one holiday destination. As the weather takes a cold turn over there, it was an ideal time to make some noise."

"April Fools' Day gave us the perfect excuse to have a bit of fun launching the Gold Coast Weather Protection Unit series. Now that everyone is in on the joke, we look forward to welcoming Kiwis with our glorious weather."

Filmed over the course of three days in the Gold Coast airport and surrounding area, a number of unsuspecting airport passengers were - at the time - unknowingly involved in the prank. The full series of content is now available to view online at: www.GCweatherprotection.co.nz.

Mrs Henderson Presents Nominated for Four Olivier Awards

Mrs Henderson Presents Nominated for Four Olivier Awards

LONDON, March 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --



Bruno Wang Productions is delighted that Mrs Henderson Presents, the West End show it
co-produced, has been nominated for four Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical.



As well as the top award for new musicals, Mrs Henderson Presents has also been
nominated for Best Actress in a Musical (Tracie Bennett), Best Supporting Actress in a
Musical (Emma Williams) and Best Actor in a Musical (Ian Bartholomew).



Bruno Wang, co-producer, hailed the nominations as a deserving reward for the musical:
"I am thrilled this fantastic show has been recognised by the Olivier Awards. Since its
transfer from Bath, this brilliant production has been delighting London audiences night
after night."



Mrs Henderson Presents is the hilarious musical based on the hugely popular 2005 film
that starred Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins. It tells the story of Laura Henderson, a recently
widowed Londoner, hopelessly searching for a way to spend her time and money.
Circumstances lead her to the renovation of a theatre, and she recruits a feisty
impresario, Vivian Van Damm, to present a bill of show-stopping acts. As war looms and box
office sales struggle, Mrs Henderson has an idea... The Windmill Girls! She gathers a
glamorous group of nude females to pose as statues and before long the audience flocks to
the theatre to see the show.

DENVER, March 31, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The 2016 Beaux Arts Ball presented by Morgridge Family Foundation raised over $2 million to support National Jewish Health. More than 1,200 guests partied to rock's greatest hits Saturday, March 19 at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center.

"For 117 years, we have been the leading respiratory hospital in the nation, helping thousands every year. We continue to achieve this mission because of the support we receive from donors," said Michael Salem, MD, National Jewish Health president and CEO. "Our Grand Marshals, leadership and supporters ensure that we can provide an unsurpassed patient care experience and lead the next generation of discoveries for respiratory and related diseases."


Dr. Salem and National Jewish Health Board Chair Blair Richardson honored the 2016 Grand Marshals, Libby Anschutz, Janie and David Eves, and Rebecca and Lewis Kling, for their philanthropy and influence in the Denver community.

The night kicked off with guests dancing into the ballroom to the beat of Queen's "We Will Rock You," and the party didn't stop. Dance productions to chart-topping hits and a performance of "Satisfaction" by a Mick Jagger look-alike brought guests to the dancefloor. The night concluded with a high-intensity set from "Tracksuit Wedding," which is led by Libby Anschutz and Ali Pashel Frankfurt.

Event leadership included co-chairs Kelly Brough, Jackie and Jerome Davis, Lindsey and Stanton Dodge,Alissa and Will Frankfurt, and Penny and Jack TerHar. In addition to Presenting Sponsor the Morgridge Family Foundation, dozens of individuals, organizations and companies supported the Beaux Arts Ball, including Platinum Sponsors the Anschutz Foundation, Sage Hospitality and Dependable Cleaners.

The event's Gold Sponsors were the Acklie Charitable Foundation, Anne and Rich Baer, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, Clear the Air Foundation, Rebecca and Lewis Kling, David and Laura Merage Foundation, MDC Foundation, Sturgeon Electric, Teva Pharmaceuticals and Xcel Energy. Also in attendance were members of the 5280 Air Society, a group of young leaders in Denver who are leading the next generation of philanthropy at National Jewish Health.

A Fund-a-Need direct appeal raised $650,000 to support the organization's work to find a cure for severe asthma, the most deadly form of the condition that does not respond to standard treatments. David Beuther, MD, associate professor of medicine, chief medical information officer and National Jewish Health pulmonologist, introduced two National Jewish Health patients, professional skier Jake Cohn and 15-month-old Kailia Hill. They both suffer from severe asthma and are being helped by the expertise and cutting-edge research at National Jewish Health.

"The scary truth is that 12 million Americans do not have their asthma under control, and about two and a half million have a type of severe asthma that is chronic and affects their day-to-day lives in ways we cannot imagine," Dr. Beuther said. "National Jewish Health is the world's expert in this area. We never say never, and we are committed to discovering a cure for severe asthma in the next five years."

A traditional live auction was also held during the event. The auction offered the highest bidder once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, including VIP experiences at the Tribeca Film Festival and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, as well as a summer of concerts at Red Rocks, the Pepsi Center and the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

National Jewish Health is the leading respiratory hospital in the nation. Founded 117 years ago as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish Health today is the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to groundbreaking medical research and treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders. Patients and families come to National Jewish Health from around the world to receive cutting-edge, comprehensive, coordinated care. To learn more, visit the media resources page.

Starting May 8(th) on Food Network Star: Comeback Kitchen, seven unforgettable former finalists enter the Star kitchen for another shot at stardom. When co-hosts Valerie Bertinelli and Tyler Florence introduce the first challenge, the competitors are forced to face their pasts by attempting to redeem the dish that was the downfall in their respective season. The alumni must then shoot a one minute "Where Are They Now?" video, updating viewers on what they've been up to and how they've improved since their Food Network Star appearance. Through three episodes, Valerie and Tyler determine who has earned a spot on the new season of Food Network Star.

In the May 22(nd) season premiere of Food Network Star, the finalists must shoot a 30-second screen test to give viewers a quick culinary preview of what they are all about. The videos debut during a VIP event at a luxury theater in Los Angeles in front of an audience; but when Bobby and Giada surprise the finalists with news that the Food Network Star: Comeback Kitchen winner will also join the competition, how will they handle this twist? Comeback Kitchen hosts Valerie Bertinelli and Tyler Florence help Giada and Bobby decide who will be the first to be sent home. During the season the finalists encounter challenges that not only test their culinary skills, but also their on-camera presence, from trying their hand at delivering food reports for Entertainment Tonight co-hosts Nancy O'Dell and Kevin Frazier, to shooting a promo for their own show, the finalists are challenged to not only create great food but great TV.

"Viewers will be inspired watching these competitors pull out all the stops as they follow their dreams of becoming a Food Network Star," said Didi O'Hearn, Senior Vice President Programming, Food Network & Cooking Channel. "With Bobby and Giada leading the action, joined by an amazing group of world-class guest judges, the suspense of the season will be rivaled only by the big personalities and talent these finalists display."

The finalists competing this season are: Rob Burmeister (Staten Island, NY); Erin Campbell (Woodbury, MN); Damiano Carrara (Moorpark, CA); Aaron Crumbaugh (Spokane, WA); Tregaye Fraser (Atlanta, GA); Yaku Moton-Spruill (San Francisco, CA); Melissa Pfeister (Los Angeles, CA); Ana Quincoces (Coral Gables, FL); Monterey Salka (Nashville, TN); Joy Thompson (Thomasville, NC); Havird Usry (Augusta, GA); Jernard Wells (Atlanta, GA), and the winner of Food Network Star: Comeback Kitchen.

Throughout the season, Bobby and Giada are joined by special guests who help determine who has what it takes to be the next face of Food Network including, Anne Burrell, Food Network Magazine Editor-in-Chief Maile Carpenter, Haylie Duff, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Guy Fieri, Duff Goldman, Hannah Hart, Robert Irvine, Ali Larter, Katie Lee, Tia Mowry, Lorraine Pascale, Rev Run, Aarti Sequeira, Donal Skehan, Trisha Yearwood and Internet stars Rhett & Link.

Web series Star Salvation returns on Sunday, June 12(th) and goes live just after Star's east coast airing. Available on FoodNetwork.com/Salvation and hosted by last season's Food Network Star winner Eddie Jackson and Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, the six-episode culinary contest gives one eliminated finalist a chance to re-enter the competition. The winner will re-enter Food Network Star on Sunday, July 24th.

This season once again features a fully-integrated, multi-platform partnership with Volkswagen, woven throughout the season and helping to drive the action of this extraordinary competition. A Food Network Star must excel on many fronts, and having the right partners, tools and expert guidance in place allows this season's group of finalists to compete at the level they need in their bid for stardom.

Corus Entertainment Introduces Two New Series at MIPTV

My Baby's Having a Baby and Worst to First join Corus' growing distribution slate

TORONTO, March 31, 2016 /CNW/ - Corus Entertainment Inc. (CJR.B), a leading integrated media and content company, announced today that it will be adding two new unscripted lifestyle series to its growing library of Women and Family content: the emotionally charged docu-series My Baby's Having a Baby, which follows moms as their teenage daughters face motherhood; and a home renovation series that turns delusion to desire in Worst to First.

"These two new series are further evidence of our commitment to develop, produce and distribute universally relatable stories -- whether it be building a family or building a dream home," said John MacDonald, Executive Vice President, Television, Head of Women and Family, Corus Entertainment.

My Baby's Having a Baby (10 x 60') -- IN PRODUCTION
Dramatic and emotionally charged, My Baby's Having a Baby is a new and unique multigenerational take on the life-changing experience of teenage motherhood told from the point of view of a new grandmother and teen mom. Over six months, audiences will follow five families from Canada and the United States as they deal with births, babies, relationships, finances and graduating high school. At the best of times, the relationship between a teen and her mom is bumpy -- add pregnancy and motherhood to that relationship and you've got a combustible, emotionally charged situation underpinned by unconditional love. Produced by Our House Media.

Worst to First (10 x 60') -- IN PRODUCTION
Every day is a new, fun adventure for expert contractors Mickey and Sebastian. Brothers-in-law, business partners and best friends, these two young studs are making a career out of transforming dumpy fixer uppers. Now they're on a mission -- find the worst houses in the best neighbourhoods in one of the most desirable cities in the world -- Vancouver -- and turn them into their client's dream come true. In each episode, the contractors are introduced to a new couple and a new challenge. After seeing Mickey and Sebastian's plans and weighing in all of the pros and cons, the family chooses their favourite and makes the purchase. This means 'go time' to racing the clock to pull off ambitious renovations. Produced by Great Pacific Media.

Benefits of Bell broadband fibre investment highlighted in CRTC report

Benefits of Bell broadband fibre investment highlighted in CRTC report


-- Speed testing shows fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) delivers Canada's best
Internet experience
-- Bell is Canada's leading builder of broadband fibre infrastructure,
providing superfast FTTH data connections, creating jobs, supporting
digital growth and innovation
MONTRÉAL, March 31, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - As Canada's leading builder of broadband network infrastructure, Bell welcomes the results of an Internet performance report commissioned by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), showing that fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) connections provide the best Internet service available in Canada today.

Released today, the CRTC report finds that Canadians are benefiting from broadband services from multiple providers that meet or exceed advertised speeds - and that FTTH outperforms all other wireline technologies, including the hybrid fibre coaxial cable connections provided by cable companies.

"Broadband FTTH supports very high speed Internet access for consumers and business while also enabling the ongoing development of exclusive product innovations from fast-growing new services like Bell Fibe TV and Fibe Internet," said Rizwan Jamal, President of Bell Residential and Small Business. "Canada's Internet providers deliver world-class broadband speeds and services. Longstanding government and regulatory policies that have encouraged investment in competing Canadian broadband networks must be maintained to ensure the ongoing deployment of FTTH and the outstanding access, speed and innovation it delivers."

The CRTC report is based on testing of broadband services available from Canada's 10 major wireline Internet service providers in late 2015. ISP-specific information is not available but results consistently show that FTTH networks like those operated by Bell in Ontario and Québec and Bell Aliant in Atlantic Canada provide:


-- Superfast download speeds, well in excess of advertised speeds
-- Superfast upload speeds, an increasingly important factor as consumers
share more and more data upstream
-- The most reliable connections, with the lowest latency rates and levels
of packet loss and the best web-browsing performance during both peak
and off-peak hours
No other Canadian communications company is investing more in new networks and product R&D than Bell. In addition to providing homes and businesses with access to high-quality broadband access, building new networks supports service innovation, creates jobs, spurs economic growth, and generates new digital opportunities for businesses and public service providers, including governments, schools and health care providers.

Bell plans to invest $1 billion in 2016 to extend the availability of its industry-leading Gigabit Fibe Internet service to approximately 3 million homes and businesses in Ontario, Québec and Atlantic Canada, up from approximately 2.2 million at the end of 2015. Every annual investment of $1 billion in FTTH deployment supports an estimated 19,000 jobs while contributing approximately $3 billion to Canada's GDP.

TORONTO, March 31, 2016 /CNW/ - HISTORY's bold survival series Alone is back for a second season, premiering Thursday, April 21(st) at 9pm ET/PT leading into the mid-season finale of Vikings. The 13-episode series places ten hardcore survivalists alone on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The contestants have one mission: to stay alive. There are no camera crews, no teams, and no gimmicks. At stake is a $500,000 cash prize awarded to the person who can last the longest. Season two features ten contestants, including one man originally from Galicia, Spain, who currently resides in Mayo, Yukon Territory.

Equipped only with limited gear, their wilderness experience, and cameras to self-document their journeys, these brave men and women are completely separated from one another in harsh, unforgiving terrain. To survive, they must find food and water, build shelters and fend off predators. They will face extreme isolation, psychological distress, and treacherous environmental conditions as they descend into the unknown.

Each episode of Alone features the nerve-wracking thrill of watching individuals face the fury of Mother Nature while plunging into a state of isolation unimaginable in today's hyper-connected world. These participants must battle everything from territorial black bears and cougars, to punishing winds and incessant rain. Determined to thrive in any environment, the survivalists display incredible ingenuity by building elaborate creations such as a functioning stove, gravity-fed plumbing system, primitive weapons, boats, and much more.

Alone is produced for HISTORY by Leftfield Pictures.

Majority of broadband services sold in Canada are as fast or faster than their advertised download speeds

Majority of broadband services sold in Canada are as fast or faster than their advertised download speeds

OTTAWA and GATINEAU, QC, March 31, 2016 /CNW/ - According to the results of the first national, independent broadband performance study, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) today revealed that the majority of broadband Internet services sold in Canada meet or exceed their advertised download and upload speeds. Participating Internet service providers (ISP) included all the main Canadian facilities-based companies except SaskTel.

A preliminary report issued today found that services using Cable/Hybrid-Fibre Co-Axial (HFC) and Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) technologies delivered download speeds in excess of the rates advertised by ISPs. FTTH services delivered 119% of advertised download speed on average, while Cable/HFC services delivered 103%. Most Digital Subscriber Line-based (DSL) services met or exceeded the advertised rates too. However, DSL services in the 5-9 Megabits per second category only attained 88% of the advertised speed rate.

Performance was largely consistent across all regions, with the vast majority achieving between 109% and 122% of advertised download speed.

The data will enable the CRTC to improve its future broadband policy-making, and will ultimately form part of its annual data collection and monitoring activities. The report will enable Canadians to gain additional insight into network performance, including connection speeds, as well as provide a greater understanding of whether certain Internet services from participating ISPs are delivered at the advertised speeds. A second report will be published later in 2016, which will detail the performance of individual ISPs and their specific service offerings.

The CRTC launched a project in 2015, to measure broadband Internet performance in Canadian homes and is collaborating in this project with major ISPs across the country and SamKnows, a UK-based company contracted to undertake the study. Volunteers were selected to ensure a Canada-wide distribution among the various participating ISPs: Rogers, Vidéotron, Shaw, TELUS, Cogeco, Bell Canada, Eastlink, MTS, Northwestel and Bell Aliant. SaskTel declined participation in the project.

A device called a "Whitebox", was sent to nearly 4500 Canadian volunteers' homes across a range of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and products. The devices measured the performance of the Internet connection at different times during times when it was not in use. DSL, Cable/HFC and FTTH services were the technologies measured for the purpose of this study.

Quick Facts


-- Most broadband services sold in Canada met or exceeded their advertised
download speeds according to the report.
-- The data presented in the report was collected between October 1, 2015
and November 30, 2015.
-- Most test results shown in the report reflect results gathered during
the peak usage period of 7-11 p.m. (local time) on weeknights.
-- To protect the privacy of participants, no information about their
online activities was collected.
-- The CRTC collaborated with major Internet service providers (ISPs)
across the country and SamKnows, a company specializing in measuring
broadband for this initiative.
-- Although network connectivity is an important factor in determining the
broadband speed experienced by subscribers, other factors (such as home
Wi-Fi, website capacity and device limitation) may also impact
performance. This broadband measurement project focused on the service
provided by ISPs.
-- The CRTC will hold a public hearing in April 2016 to review which
telecommunications services, including broadband Internet services,
Canadians need to participate in the digital economy.


Quote

"We are pleased that Canadians now have better insight into the performance, including the actual connection speeds, of the broadband Internet services provided to them by the major ISPs in the country. Based on the preliminary findings, Canadians are receiving the broadband speeds they are paying for. This national project was the first of its kind in Canada, and we are grateful to the volunteers across Canada who participated as well as to the ISPs that partnered with us. It has provided us with information that will help improve broadband policy and will no doubt be valuable during the public hearing in April 2016 to review which telecommunications services Canadians need to participate in the digital economy."
