UNITED NATIONS Will Hernandez Jersey , March 21 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Saturday said that "the annual observance of Nowruz is a wonderful opportunity for people to join together to celebrate cultural diversity, dialogue and mutual respect."
"It is a moment of unity and solidarity, within and among societies, that is all the more important at times of strife and division," the secretary-general said in his message to mark the International Day of Nowruz, which falls on March 21.
About 300 million people worldwide celebrate Nowruz, with traditions and rituals particularly strong in the Balkans, the Black Sea and Caspian Sea regions, the Caucasus, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East. Events may include folk dance performances, special concerts, and tree planting ceremonies.
In February 2010, the UN General Assembly decided to recognize the International Day of Nowruz, calling on UN member states that celebrate the festival to study its history and traditions with a view to disseminating that knowledge among the international community and organizing annual commemoration events.
"This year's Nowruz also takes on special meaning as the United Nations works to shape a new vision for sustainable future and adopt a meaningful universal climate agreement," Ban said. "These priorities for 2015 are in line with the spirit of Nowruz, which promotes harmony with nature and all peoples to foster cooperation for lasting peace."
Nowruz is inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, under the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
"I wish joyous and peaceful celebrations to all," he said. "May the spirit of Nowruz live on throughout the year."
TIP 1: Don’t agree to anything in the phone or email until you’ve the company checked out.
*In most cases a simple Google search will need you to forums or websites with many information. Do a search on organization name, telephone number, postcode or website. *
TIP 2: Ask for all information on paper before you make just about any payment.
*Ask for a copy on the agreement, cancellation policy, cooling off period etc. *
TIP 3: Contact someone to find info:
*Let pros do the research or supply you with the information from our database*
TIP 4: Beware of companies that request a fee up front. They are not allowed by the New Timeshare Directive.
*Apart from going against the particular Timeshare Directive, remember whatever they call the fee: liability, security bond, retainer etc. It is an upfront fee and must not be requested! *
TIP 5: Deal with registered companies simply. Ask them for this information.
*A genuine company will become registered; will have a physical address not really a post box, landlines not mobiles etc.
TIP 6: Be wary of a company that guarantees successful.
*If they are successful, you will find that on-line, NOT on their website however on other forums and webs, so do your research or head to TIP 3!
TIP 7: Do not, under any circumstances, let the sales representative push you in to a quick agreement by telling you if you delay (to patiently for your research, etc.) you’ll lose the buyer they already have lined up for you.
*Unfortunately there are no buyers prearranged ever, and neither people paying money upfront for timeshare or memberships which is no papers are send out yet along with the owner hadn’t been called yet.. *
7 Tips about the best way to avoid some sort of timeshare related frauds.
CANBERRA, May 29 (Xinhua) -- The value of the global environment to human well-being, health and livelihoods fell by around 21.5 trillion AU dollars (20 trillion U.S. dollars) a year between 1997 and 2011 due to loss of wetlands, coral reefs and tropical forests, according to a latest research statement from the Australian National University (ANU) on Thursday.
The research report was written by scientists and economists from the ANU, Wageningen University in The Netherlands, the University of Denver in the United States, the University of South Australia, the University of Pittsburgh in the United States and the University of East Anglia in Britain.
According to the research, global ecosystem services measure the value of ecological systems to human well-being, on top of the usual economic measures contained in gross domestic product (GDP) figures.
The study, published in Global Environmental Change, found the total value of global ecosystem services in 2011 was 134 trillion AU dollars (124.8 trillion U.S. dollars) a year, down from 145 trillion U.S. dollars a year in 1997. That compares to global GDP of just 75.2 trillion U.S. dollars in 2011.
"Nature is not just a pretty place. Nature is a large and important part of the real economy which adds to human well-being," said lead author Professor Robert Costanza, from ANU's Crawford School of Public Policy.
According to the statement, the report is the first time scientists and economists have put a dollar value on the loss of global ecosystem services, highlighting the need for policymakers to take a closer look at issues affecting environmental change.
"It allows us to build a more comprehensive and balanced picture of the assets that support human well-being and human's interdependence with the well-being of all life on the planet," Professor Costanza said.
And he said Australia's ecosystem services were estimated to be worth around 5.4 trillion AU dollars (5 trillion U.S. dollars) a year, compared to GDP of around 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars. And the drop in the global value was partly due to the loss of tropical forests and wetlands around the world and loss of coral reefs.
In addition, the report found the global area of tropical forest ha.
