Moses Znaimer

(Source of quote: http://media.canada.com/5f4aa900-9e28-4adf-a6a3-afa5261ed237/moses.jpg)

 Hi, I'm Cory and I will write about a very accomplished Canadian who was born in Asia, Moses Znaimer. He was born in Kulyab,Tajikistan on the year 1942 and is now 69 years old. Moses Znaimer is well known for his creative television style and for producing CITY-TV Much Music Musique Plus and Bravo and MANY MORE! Some contributions Moses Znaimer made was that he contributed to the "growth and advancement of the Canadian music industry"

 Here is a quote made by Moses Znaimer : "All of human history we've fought to increase life span better nutrition better education and better medicine." (source of quote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHofpVyErkM). A fan of Moses Znaimer's accomplishments is blogger Jonathan Brown. On the first page of his blog dedicated to Moses Znaimer, he writes:
"Welcome to How Moses Znaimer Saved Canadian Television, a website analyzing--channel by channel--Moses Znaimer's vision for what makes the best televison for the Canadian people. Here you will also find a history of his personal and professional career, and his manifesto in its entirety. So maybe his vision isn't perfect. His best ideas were copied directly from American innovations, and what ideas he has come up with on his own (ie: "Speakers' Corner" which makes people with something to say look like idiots) are not earth-shaking. However, Canadian television would be a lot more boring if Znaimer didn't try to spice it up a bit." (source of quote: http://records.viu.ca/~soules/mTheory/vol3/brown/moses.htm)

Here are some quotes Moshe  Safdie made.

 “I want my children to be able to meet and play and communicate with many other children on their own, not only when they are driven somewhere. I want them to grow up in an environment that is not just a place where people sleep but where people work... and where people enjoy themselves.“This is the contradictory desire in our utopia'. We want to live in a small community with which we can identify and yet we want all the facilities of the city of millions of people. We want to have very intense urban experiences and yet we want the open space right next to us.”
