New Public Service Advertising from U.S. Forest Service and Ad Council Encourages Families to Discover the Nature in Their Neighborhood

Discover the Forest PSA Campaign Released in Advance of National Get Outdoors Day on June 13th


WASHINGTON, June 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In an effort to motivate parents and tweens (ages 8-12) to spend more time outdoors and reconnect with nature, the U.S. Forest Service and the Ad Council launched today a new series of public service advertisements (PSAs) as an extension of their Discover the Forest campaign.

“Get Outdoors Day provides an exceptional opportunity to introduce kids and their families to the helpful benefits and unique experiences nature offers,” said U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell. “It also encourages all citizens to connect to and appreciate the special settings, natural treasures and amenities of our national forests and grasslands. We hope these new PSAs will encourage families to see their urban forests in a new light and inspire them to have their own nature experiences no matter where they live.”

The new PSAs are an extension of the Discover the Forest campaign first launched by the U.S. Forest Service and Ad Council in 2009. Created pro bono by Burrell Communications, this year’s creative targets parents and caregivers of tweens and shows how accessible outdoor spaces are, even when living in an urban area. Using the tagline “Every neighborhood has a Naturehood,” the PSAs aim to encourage families to explore forests and parks closer to their homes. Through unique outdoor experiences, tweens feel connected to nature, ultimately creating a lifelong interest in spending time with nature and a legacy of stewardship.

“Living in a busy city, it’s sometimes easy to forget how accessible nature is and that every day brings the opportunity to find refuge and relaxation outdoors,” said Lisa Sherman, president & CEO of the Ad Council. “Spending time in a forest offers so many mental and physical health benefits for children. Our hope is to encourage more parents to recognize their local nature and experience it as a family.”

More than 80 percent of Americans live in cities, but fortunately, families don’t have to leave the city to take their kids on an adventure to the forest. According to research done by Euro RSCG, 88 percent of children today say they like being in nature, and 79 percent wish they could spend more time there. Additionally, children who play outside have lower stress levels and more active imaginations, become fitter and leaner, develop stronger immune systems and are more likely to become environmentally conscious in the future.

“It’s really easy to forget about your local forest,” said Lewis Williams, Chief Creative Officer at Burrell. “For example, here in Chicago, there’s kayaking in Lincoln Park and along the Chicago River. Most of us walk, run or drive through a park daily without ever taking the time to explore it. Our goal was to let parents know in an entertaining and relatable way – it’s just a short ride, drive or walk down the block to your Naturehood.”

The new PSAs were launched to coincide with National Get Outdoors Day (GO Day) on June 13th, which will include a series of events offering traditional and nontraditional outdoor activities across the nation. This is a perfect opportunity for families to explore forested areas near their city. The events include special guests like Smokey Bear and Woodsy Owl, and offer a mix of activities including learning how to use a fishing pole, pitch a tent and geocaching.

These PSAs will be supported through the recently redesigned campaign website, www.DiscoverTheForest.org (www.DescubreElBosque.org), which includes a list of activity ideas and a convenient forest locator, powered by Nature Find™ and GoogleMaps, allowing users to find the forest or park closest to them. The campaign also has a corresponding Facebook page, Instagram handle and Twitter account, where you can further explore the beauty of the forest and the health benefits associated with spending time outside in urban forests.

The Ad Council is distributing the new PSAs to media outlets nationwide this week and the PSAs will run and air in advertising time and space donated by the media.

The Plaintiffs claim that these transactions should be treated as “licenses” rather than “sales” of records for purposes of calculating royalties. Defendants deny these claims and contend that they properly calculated and paid royalties.

Am I in the Class?

You may be a member of the Class if you are entitled to receive or are credited royalties pursuant to a contract with one of the US Labels covered by the Settlement initially dated between January 1, 1965 and April 30, 2004, or have been treated by a Capitol US Label as subject to the Capitol Legendary Artists Program. More detailed information on the proposed Settlement can be found in the Settlement Agreement available at www.umgsettlement.com.

Which US Labels are Included?

US Labels means UMG Recordings, Inc. and Capitol Records, LLC, as well as their wholly or partially-owned US recorded music subsidiaries, divisions, and business units, their predecessors-in-interests, and any affiliated entity or joint venture on whose behalf they may enter into litigation settlements. The Settlement Agreement contains a non-exhaustive list of US Labels.

What are my Options?

  • If you are eligible and want to receive a payment or credit for past royalties from the proposed $11.5 million settlement fund, and be eligible for increases in how royalties are calculated in the future, you must submit a fully completed and signed Claim Form postmarked on or before August 11, 2015 to: UMG Settlement, c/o GCG, P.O. Box 10181, Dublin, OH 43017-3181, or via email to [email protected]. Claim Forms can also be downloaded from www.umgsettlement.com.
  • You may remove yourself from both the Settlement and the lawsuit by opting out by August 11, 2015. You will not be eligible for the Settlement benefits and will not be bound by the terms of the proposed Settlement. For information on how to opt out, visit www.umgsettlement.com.
  • You can object to the Settlement by writing to the Court by August 11, 2015. For more information, visit www.umgsettlement.com.
  • You can do nothing. If you do nothing, you will receive no payment, and you will give up your rights to sue the US Labels about the claims in this case.

Has the Court approved the Settlement?

The Court has preliminarily approved the Settlement and will finally determine whether the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate at a Fairness Hearing currently set on April 13, 2016, at 4:00 p.m. at San Francisco Courthouse, Courtroom 10 – 19th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. The Class will be represented by Class Counsel; you are not required to attend the hearing, but you or your own lawyer may attend at your own expense. Class Counsel’s motion requesting attorneys’ fees of $2,875,000.00 and costs of $450,000.00 along with enhancement awards for the 14 Class Representatives for assisting with the litigation that total $185,500.00 will be available for viewing on the Settlement Website listed below after they are filed.

Where Can I Get Additional Information?

New Data: Nearly 1 Out of 4 GRE® Test Takers Retest, Most Improve Scores

New Data: Nearly 1 Out of 4 GRE® Test Takers Retest, Most Improve Scores

Most people who took a GRE test a second time in 2014 did better


PRINCETON, N.J., June 11, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The ScoreSelect® option, available with all GRE® tests, has been attracting positive attention among graduate and business school aspirants. The ScoreSelect option allows students who take the test more than once to send schools their best scores. 

Photo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150611/222454-INFO

In 2014, the percent of people taking the GRE® revised General Test a second time grew 15 percent compared to 2013, and a new analysis by Educational Testing Service (ETS) showed that most people who opted to retest improved their scores. 

The analysis reviewed GRE test-taker performance in 2014 around the world. When comparing an individual’s initial score to the subsequent score, most saw favorable gains. Improvements were noted on all three measures of the GRE revised General Test. Of special interest:

  • Nearly 60 percent of test takers scored higher on the Verbal Reasoning measure
  • More than 60 percent of test takers scored higher on the Quantitative Reasoning measure

“During 2014, the number of repeat tests reached an all-time high,” said Dawn Piacentino, director of communication and services for the GRE Program at ETS. “Our research showed that nearly one out of four people take the GRE test a second time.”

She added that some of the GRE program’s beneficial policies are contributing factors leading to repeat testing. “We introduced the ScoreSelect option for GRE test takers, so that students could take a GRE test, once or more than once, and have up to five years to send what they felt were their best scores. It’s about helping people feel confident and do their best. No immediate test-day decisions. No worrying about any second chances. Just relax and do your best, so you can focus on your personal success — in school and, ultimately, in your career.”

The ScoreSelect option has been growing in popularity, with about eight out of 10 GRE test takers stating that it is valuable. Since its introduction, the number of people retaking a GRE test has risen year over year. The GRE test also has test taker-friendly features — the ability to skip questions and go back, or change answers within a section — which are providing value. Furthermore, a recent ETS study showed that 95 percent of GRE test takers changed at least one answer, and most improved their scores.

“Not everyone’s score goes up every time, but the data show that test takers do better when they have the ability to thoughtfully change their answers and when they take the test a second time,” said Piacentino. “We talk about getting the power of confidence with the GRE revised General Test. It’s about helping test takers feel good about what they need to do.”

GRE scores are accepted by thousands of graduate-level schools worldwide, including more than 1,200 business schools that now accept GRE scores for admission into their MBA programs. In 2014, the number of people taking a GRE test with intended study in business grew by 18 percent compared to the prior year and, according to a recent Kaplan survey, nearly eight out of 10 MBA programs actually have no preference about GRE scores vs. other standardized scores.

“This is good news for students taking a GRE test,” said David Payne, ETS Vice President and COO, Global Education. “GRE score use is on the rise. We have heard from many institutions that MBA applicants with GRE scores are not only welcome, but a growing percentage would like even more applicants with GRE scores. By this next admissions cycle, there will be a lot more MBA applicants with GRE scores.”

P.A.N. Corn Meal Launches Marketing Effort in the U.S. With Chef Lorena Garcia

As part of the marketing campaign launched by the international division of Alimentos Polar, influencers will share their love for the brand with culinary enthusiasts through social media


MIAMI, June 11, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As part of the marketing campaign by the international division of Alimentos Polar in the U.S., P.A.N. corn meal announced a strategic alliance with renowned chef, restaurateur and philanthropist with Venezuelan roots Lorena Garcia.

The announcement is the beginning of a series of initiatives designed to inspire American foodies to try the brand, make it a pantry staple and increase the popularity of P.A.N. in Latin America and the United States.

“Lorena will inspire consumers to cook with P.A.N.,” said Pablo Baraybar, Director of International Business for Empresas Polar. “Her influence on Latin cuisine in the United States cannot be understated and her passion for our product will highlight that P.A.N. is a must-have for foodies whether they want to make a dish like arepas or a homemade favorite like cornbread.”

P.A.N. corn meal offers an international portfolio comprised of three varieties: pre-cooked yellow corn meal, pre-cooked white corn meal and sweet corn mix. The yellow and white corn varieties are 100 percent gluten free. P.A.N. is a versatile product that can be used as a substitute for flour in both sweet and savory recipes.

Traditionally, P.A.N. is used to make Venezuelan arepas and is very practical and unique since when mixed with water and salt, the mixture instantly creates a dough.

“My relationship with P.A.N. goes all the way back to my childhood,” said Chef Lorena. “It’s extremely gratifying for me to be able to introduce American consumers to a brand that is a big part of my culture and culinary traditions. I can’t wait to show them all the delicious recipes they can create with P.A.N.”

The brand is also tapping influencers via cooperation with blogger communities like Influence Central and Kin Community to create content incorporating P.A.N. as an ingredient for delicious traditional recipes or to make American favorites like corn dogs and hush puppies.
