JERMAINE JACKSON by Brinda Saroya · Photo credit: AEDT

Jermaine Jackson was born on December 11, 1954, in Gary, Indiana, the fourth of ten children. Initially he sang lead and played rhythm guitar in The Jackson 5, but switched to bass and back-up vocals. Jermaine split from the group when they went to CBS but re-joined in 1984 for a successful tour. Having mended a rift between himself and Michael, Jermaine spoke at his brother‘s 2009 memorial. Jermaine La Jaune Jackson, his parents are Katherine and Joseph Jackson. The fourth of ten children, Jermaine and his family were very musical; Katherine was an aspiring pianist and singer, and Joseph briefly played guitar with his brother in their band, The

Jermaine Jackson and Group

Falcons. But while music was their passion, it didn‘t pay the bills. So, Joseph supported his family with his job at U.S. Steel while Katherine stayed at home and raised the children. While his father worked long hours as a crane operator, Jermaine and his brothers Tito and Jackie practiced their own songs, sometimes on their father‘s guitar. One night, after Tito accidentally broke a string on his father‘s instrument, the trio had to own up to their late-night practicing. Joe, out of anger, made the boys demonstrate their musicianship. Impressed, he recognized the boys‘ potential and began encouraging them to perform as a group. Jermaine and his two older brothers began The Jackson Brothers in 1964. By the end of 1965, Jermaine‘s younger brothers Marlon and Michael had also joined, On Aug. 14th, 1965, Evelyn Lahaie selected them to appear in the Big Top Stores Tiny Tots Backto-School Jamboree, but she felt the Jackson Brothers name they auditioned under needed to be changed. They were far above ordinary talent, and needed a name with more zip, zing, pizzazz! And I suggested to Joe to change their name to Jackson Five and Joe thought it was a good idea, and that is how the Jackson Five name came about for these fabulous entertainers. The very

first time the Jackson Five name was ever published was in the large ad for the BIG TOP SHOW Evelyn Lahaie booked them for.

daughter, Hazel, during this time. When the Jackson 5 left Motown for CBS records, Jermaine broke with the group and stayed loyal to Motown.

After Jermaine and the group won a talent contest held at brother Jackie‘s high school, The Jackson 5 began taking their performances more seriously. Jermaine moved from lead singer to back-up singer and bassist after several years as the rhythm guitarist and lead singer.

Jermaine‘s solo career throughout the late 70s and early 80s was successful; his 1980 album Let‘s Get Serious was nominated for a Grammy Award, and songs such as „Daddy‘s Home,“ „Feel the Fire,“ and „Let‘s Get Serious“ all hit at the top of Billboard‘s Hot 100. Despite his success with the company, Jermaine left Motown in 1983 for Arista Records, where he scored hits such as „Do What You Do“ and „Dynamite.“

Jermaine and his brothers worked long hours and performed in several low-class nightclubs before securing a spot in the famous Amateur Night competition at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. The group won the contest, impressing Motown CEO Berry Gordy, who awarded the group a record contract in 1968. The group became wildly successful, and their first four hits went directly to No. 1 on the Billboard charts. In 1972, while still with The Jackson 5, Jermaine began a solo career. A year later, he married Berry Gordy‘s

In 1984, he re-joined the Jacksons for the first time since 1975 in order to perform the 55-concert Victory tour, named after the newly released Jacksons‘ album Victory. Their reunion performances grossed $75 million, and set a new record as the largest grossing tour of the time. Since then, Jermaine has recorded sporadically. He generated controversy in 1991 when his song „Word to the Badd,“ was released. The song, with lyrics such

as „Once you were made/ You changed your ways/ Even told me lies/ Could not trust you/ Still I loved you,“ read as an open attack on his brother Michael‘s overwhelming success as a pop star. After the single hit

airwaves, Michael and Jermaine met privately to repair their brotherly rift. Although the song wasn‘t pulled from the airwaves, Jermaine re-wrote the lyrics and changed the song‘s meaning. In 1992, he produced

the award-winning The Jacksons; An American Dream, a mini-series about The Jackson 5. His son played him in the early scenes of the film. In 2005, during his brother Michael‘s child-abuse trial, Jermaine spoke out in favor of his brother. He publicly defended Michael on news shows and appeared with him in court. On June 25th, 2009, Jermaine was the brother to announce that Michael had died. Speaking later to media outlets, he said he wished his life had been taken instead. He also said he was Michael‘s „...backbone. Someone to be there for him. I was there and he was sort of like Moses, things he couldn‘t say I would say them.“ During Michael‘s funeral service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Jermaine served as a pall bearer along with his brothers. He also performed an emotional rendition of the song „Smile,“ by Charlie Chaplin, Michael‘s favorite song, before breaking down in tears. Jermaine Jackson performed around midnight on the main stage of one of Europe‘s biggest street parties on New Year’s Eve that is celebrated between Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column in Berlin, Germany (Wilkommen 2017 - Live vom Brandenburgertor in Berlin) where about one million people come together and await the beginning of a new year. Admission to the festival area is free and the event is televised live on ZDF. Happy New Year!

WORLD PEACE NIGHT ADVENTURE OF HUMANITY

BY PAUL A RODRIGUES

New doors have been opened to Richard Nilsson, President of the Adventure of Humanity It is the first time that the United Nations signs an agreement with an entirely outside organization. This means that we can bring peace project forward and develop it. Richard Nilsson and Albert Konan Koffi signed the agreement between the Adventure of Humanity International and the Observatoire pour la Non-Violence Commune des Nations pour la Paix.

Adventure of Humanity will now be able to take a more active role. This can involve everything from supporting various initiatives financially or enter as a mediator in different conflict areas. “Because we are tied Richard Nilsson to the UN, it means and Simon Sahouri that everything we do must be approved by the UN, says Richard Nilsson.” “It’s obviously a big step forward. This also means that we can take part of the UN’s entire infrastructure and we are now coming in at a diplomatic level.” What are your feelings now that you signed the contract? “This work was started by Michael Jackson and Nelson Mandela. And of course, it is with respect that we continue their project. It is a great responsibility to manage their heritage.” What happens next with the Adventure of Humanity? “Now we will present a strategy for how we will reach out with the project in the best way. We have also received an invitation from Dalai Lama and shall consider the possibility to start the construction of a hospital in Tibet.”

EVOLUTION OF FASHION by Aimon Hasnain

I firmly believe that the way fashion changes are indicative of how a society or culture changes and evolves. Think about how the mini-skirt became popular in the 1960s; this reflected the fact that attitudes toward sex and the female body were changing and becoming more liberal. So, in this sense I believe our clothing and style changes as we change, as technology becomes more advanced, and as our attitudes change as a society. It is amazing to see how the different events in history have influenced and changed the way people have dressed throughout time. Some of the most popular fashions are classic, they can stand the test of time and hardly ever “go out of style”, only experiencing minor changes to keep up with the trends.

1920s The 1920s were an exciting time in the United States and around the world. World War I was over, people had jobs and money, and women’s rights were changing. In 1919 in the US, women got the right to vote. Overall, people were feeling good, and this showed in the clothes that everyone was wearing. Women dressed in the “flapper” style. This included dresses with fringe, short haircuts, and bright makeup. Men wore suits, suspenders and bowler hats.

1970s

Groovy! The 1970s are known for a lot of activism and the “hippie” movement. Clothing during this time period was very colorful, and included tiedye, bell-bottom pants, and miniskirts. For the first time in a long time, both women and men had long hair. Men also started to have mustaches and beards again. The 1970s were all about music and good times, so people’s clothes reflected that. 22

WWW .LVH DUBAIAN . COM

1980s Style in the 1980s was influenced a lot by music. During this time punk rock, rap, and heavy metal music became very popular. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hair and jewelry were big, and their makeup was bright with lots of colors. People involved in the punk rock world wore a lot of black clothing with heavy eyeliner. Both men and women wore a lot of fitness clothes; this included a lot of colorful tights.

1990s The 1990s were more downto-earth than the 70s or 80s. Women still had big hair, but makeup was more natural looking. Many people wore jeans and plain colored shirts along with Converse shoes, which became very popular. During this time, a lot of people also started to get more piercings than in other decades.

Present-2017 Today, people dress based on many different influences. Some fashion choices are even based on looks from past decades, like the ones we talked about here. Trends change all the time, but you can keep up with the latest styles by watching TV or seeing what your favorite celebrities wear. Unless you like it your way. In that case, just wear whatever you feel like today! WWW .LVH DUBAIAN . COM

SEVEN SUMMER BY LARA BARAKAT

Seasonal weddings usually come with a certain set of ideologies that couples and guests assume they must follow. There are absolutely no guidelines or rules to follow, so do not be afraid to break a few. Put down your handbook and think outside the box. Here are some of the most popular summer wedding myths and how to overcome them. You must have a colorful palette Brides tend to get colorful in summer, but it is not a requirement. If bright and colorful is not your style, opting for something unexpected will add a wow factor to your event and reflect your personal style. Consider mixing lighter shades with darker ones, such as silver and black, ivory and green, and orange and brown.

Outdoor weddings are a must

Photo by Only tungsten rings

People think most summer weddings are hosted outdoors, but it depends on your location. If you are in Dubai, an outdoor summer wedding is physically impossible, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees centigrade. However, if you are in cooler areas with lush green countryside, summer days are precious. If an outdoor wedding is not what you imagined, an indoor area can be just as beautiful. Indoor summer weddings have their perks; it will be more comfortable for you and your guests to be in a cooler climate (especially when you are dancing), and dĂŠcor possibilities are endless. Choose a venue with large windows to take advantage of those light nights. Photo by David Michael Photography

The heat will ruin everything Most suppliers will advise you that high temperatures can affect your flowers, cake and makeup, but you can take precautions. Store your flowers in a cooler area before the ceremony starts, and supply shade for your guests and flowers. Ask your florist to recommend flowers with wax texture petals, such as orchids and lilies. For your wedding cake, choose fondant rather than buttercream, and schedule your cake-cutting at the start of your event. Makeup-setting spray is your best friend.

WEDDING MYTHS Summer weddings are supposed to be informal We tend to wear lighter materials in summer, so you probably want to skip the heavy beaded dresses. However, you do not have to dress your bridesmaids in floral summer dresses, and the groomsmen in loafers. If a formal affair is more your style, choose your dress design and have your seamstress use lighter material such as chiffon to create the dresses. Photo by Millanova

You cannot have a princess dress Princess-style wedding dresses are usually heavy because of the layers and materials used - this can be agonizing in the summer heat. Do not feel the need to change your dream wedding dress according to the season. If princess is what you want, ask your seamstress to Dresses from Stella York & Essense of Australia change the material of your skirt to a lighter one - we love silk. Add a hoop to seem as if you are floating on the dancefloor.

A bridal up-do is a must Warmer temperatures prompt brides to style their hair up. However, just because it is summer does not mean you must style your hair a certain way. We love natural big curls with flower crowns. A half up-do can look just as glamorous.

Summer weddings are only for destination weddings

You do not have to whisk your guests away to have a good time. If tropical environments are not what you envisioned for your big day, city weddings are just as glamorous. Rooftop ceremonies with skyline views act as the perfect natural backdrop, with an outdoorsy feel. The natural breeze will keep your guests cool. Photo by El Style

Meet Eva Krystoff, who, until recently, was a VP at one of the leading asset management firms in the world, working in the institutional business development division. Ms. Krystoff had been intrigued with the business model of blogging for some time. She finally took the plunge this year and launched The Charlie Bird (TheCharlieBird.com), a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog. The Charlie Bird showcases her personal style and chronicles her life in and around New York City. Over the past several years, bloggers have become major influencers in the world of fashion. Established style bloggers command large fees, working with exclusive brands in exchange for posting related content to their blogs and social media accounts. They receive other perks for their efforts as well, including free clothes, shoes and handbags, beauty products and even luxe vacations. By portraying aspirational lifestyles, influencers curate large groups of similar-minded followers, who in turn draw inspiration from their favorite influencers. For brands, collaborating with these influencers ensures that they are reaching the people most likely to buy their products. It comes as no surprise then that fashion blogging has seen phenomenal growth in recent years. After reading the blog or scrolling through her Instagram account, it is immediately clear that Ms. Krystoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site is devoted to classic style viewed through the prism of an active, preppy lifestyle in New 26

York City. This includes jaunts to the coast and the country, where she highlights the way that style changes outside of the city. By focusing on this niche, she is carving out a place for herself in an increasingly crowded market. As a new blogger, she is focused on producing high quality content and images that resonate with the people and brands that share her aesthetic. She is developing an engaged group of followers across multiple social media platforms, which she hopes will drive traffic to her blog and lay the groundwork that will allow her to work with her favorite brands in the future. She acknowledges that launching a new business in a saturated market is daunting, but she is unfazed. Instead, she stays focused on the creativity and fun that blogging affords her. “I love it because I get to wear different hats every day. I am writing, editing, styling, designing photo shoots, doing PR, and learning how to grow The Charlie Bird in general. Every day is different.” She adds, “You really have to promote yourself and your brand, so I am almost always out of my comfort zone, which just makes it that much more exciting and, in the end, rewarding.” She admits that this flexibility translates into long hours and quite a bit of uncertainty. She doesn’t seem to mind. “When you are doing something you love, it doesn’t feel like work. Besides, life is too short. Sometimes you just have to go for it.” In time, Ms. Krystoff envisions The Charlie Bird evolving into a full lifestyle brand that also encompasses travel, home, and family. For now, she is busy creating content

for the fashion and beauty segments of the blog and, equally important to her, engaging with her ever-growing audience. For a dose of classic style, check out The Charlie Bird at www.thecharliebird.com or on Instagram @thecharliebirdnyc. Photography by Steven D. Elliott - www.stevendelliott.com

INTERVIEW WITH FALLEN FASHION ICON

OLIVIA VON KLIMPF

ON MAKING HER COMEBACK by Rene Watson · Photos by Jesse Kruger

Tell me about “Making Olivia” where did the title come from? Mmm, I suppose it speaks to my rise again, you know, much like Jesus the Christ. I’m re-making myself. Olivia 2.0 you could say. Do you often refer to yourself to Christ? Daily. He was a great guy. One of the first designers too. Designer? I’m not sure what you mean. He invented the sandal! The Jesus sandal? We are still wearing it today, quite genius. I’m shocked at how many people don’t know that. This is the first I’ve heard that. When you said rise again. Were you referring – Well, to be completely blunt your “fall from grace” in fashion? I didn’t fall. I leaped away like an antelope. I needed “me” time. Designing can be very draining, you know. You give it everything, all of you. The people can either receive it and cherish it like a blood diamond or throw it away like a pile of hot garbage. Interesting that you said “pile of hot garbage” because that’s the exact quote about your collection from the editor of Slush Fashion Magazine two years ago. Is that part of what made you leap away?

Together. I’ve almost completely forgotten about that! You see, I’ve learned to erase things with my inner chi. Something I learned at Desert Springs. Desert Springs the Mental Health facility in Pasadena, California? Mental Health Facility? No, you must be mistaken. It’s a spa! A spa for your brain. But you did have a mental breakdown after your show in 2015, correct? I prefer to call it a mental breakout. Everyone should try it sometime. It’s so good for the complexion. Do you feel like you’re ready to step back into the fashion world? Oh, Darling. It’s my time. No doubt about it. Behind Olivia: Comedian Josie Kaye American comedian Josie Kaye plays the wildly ego-centric fashion designer Olivia Von Klimpf. Kaye studied comedy in both New York and Los Angeles as a performer, improviser, and writer. The character Olivia Von Klimpf originated from her YouTube web series called “Doctor Josie K”. The channel has reached an audience of over 2.3 million views. Inspired by these short videos, Kaye wrote a short film called “Making Olivia” which when produced would be a mockumentary. The short was an Official Selection for Best Unproduced Script of the Nice Film Festival International 2017. Kaye says “Olivia is catching people’s attention which I’m very proud of, but it’s just a start. I’m ready to make a feature for Olivia, and I’m looking for a production partner that wants to help make this story come to life.” You can see both Olivia Von Klimpf and other characters Josie Kaye has created on her website www.JosieKaye.com

Ughh, Critics! I don’t care what they think. Look, I’m here to make fashion, darling. I’m not here to make you feel “comfy” like a pair of damp sweatpants. I’m here to make you say “Oh my God, that Hazmat suit is divine, I must have it now!” My genius will live on whether the critics “get it” or not. Do you think your husband leaving you for your top super model Blake Brently had anything to with your sudden leap away from the industry? Oh, that? Hilarious isn’t it. Blake and my ex-husband.

ADAMZPRODUCTION A COMPANY ON THE RISE BY LVH STAFF

The world of movie making is a very harsh world where small production companies with new ideas find it very difficult to survive, because when it comes to funding and producing daring films that might cause some controversy, or projects that offer a very different or broader perspective than the one that the market was expecting in the world of cinema, many production companies would rather back off and play it safe.

when it produced “waiting for the fall” a film by director Joud Said that was screened in several festivals and took the best Arabic Film Award in the 37th Cairo Film Festival 2015. The film was accepted and screened at the following festivals: Genève, Amsterdam, Australia,

Companies and People do not like to take risks, but they rather take small steps towards their desired path, but every now and then you stumble upon a company that was daring enough to go with projects that can truly make a change in the world of cinema and economic perspectives. projects that are promising and that can go far making big steps in the film industry. and this is exactly what Adamzproduction is recently doing … Why? What are the things that made this small company move on a fast paste to success? The First of Adamzproduction films were filmed in Syria in the middle of the war. The film itself captured the complexity of the situation there, while focusing on the joy of living and the struggles of normal people even in the middle of the nightmarish scenes. “We always wanted to show the tough cycle of violence and the truth of how the people are living there, we did our best to show all the perspectives that represent the scenes there on the ground. “Says Rehab the CEO of Adamzproduction. Three films are being produced by Adamzproduction every one of them represents a certain vision. Established in 2014 and although it is still young compared to the giant Production companies, Adamzproduction kicked off with an immediate success 34

WWW .LVH DUBAIAN . COM

Montreal, UK and finally in Delhi International Film Festival the film showed the world how 18 million Syrians still live in Syria and how their dreams and hopes will build up again, with each stone of the destroyed cities. “It all started with an investment in a camera, my precious one, the Red Epic “said, Rehab Ayoub the CEO of Adamzproduction. “I simply dreamed of making movies, it was a passion that started gradually to turn into reality. Being on my own was scary but it all vanished after I have read the first scenario of my first Film” Waiting for the fall” the film focused on a group of women from different religious backgrounds in Syria that made a team of volleyball and dreamed of winning the cup while struggling against the unforeseen currents that tried to tear their friendship apart. This long featured film received a lot of praise yet in truth it was a small step that made bigger larger more daring projects possible… Recently Adamzproduction expanded with PR and connections, in spite the complexity of the market it managed in time to carve a niche of its own building an original identity. the company declared that it’s next long feature film “Rain of Homs” in its final stages of editing. The film itself is a masterpiece that focuses on civilians stuck in a church under heavy bombardment trying to survive the siege of Homs. This film has been filmed in the middle of war torn Homs and the story itself is shocking, it shows simple small moments and people trying to bond in the middle of a siege while trying to survive extremism, famine and their own fear of each other. The film itself is a celebration for life and diversity. This film is recently seeking coproduction funding and it will soon see the lights. “we have

received several offers to coproduce yet we didn’t decide yet since we prefer to explore the options that Dubai International Film Festival 2016 attendees have, before we make that decision” declares Rehab “we are also working on funding coproduction opportunities with our third movie, it’s in its early stages we just started filming. All perspectives are looking very promising. The third movie’s title has been announced already “The Road to Heaven” after a lot of research the script is done. the film itself follows several stories that are well knotted representing the path of several Syrian citizens that were victims of violence and were forced out of their homes. yet every one of them took a different path hoping it will be the path towards solace: - Going back home: Ziad, an Arabic teacher, after suffering a terrible family loss decides

WWW .LVH DUBAIAN . COM

not to move out of Syria but back to where he was born hoping he will find some solace in the memories of the past yet when the past and the future collide Ziad must face several of his demons on his road. - The path of the sea: Rama (Ziad’s daughter) who was seeking a solution for her husband’s blindness decided to take the path of the sea risking it all for the sake of a better future abroad,

artistic and economic works. Personally, I have no fear of failure at all, quite the contrary our links are growing stronger and we are looking forward to meet several industries in Dubai. We are also open for any particular project that fits the image of the Middle East let alone things that need filming in my home country, Syria”. For More Information, Please Contact Rehab Ayoub at: rehab@adamzproduction.com www.adamzproduction.com

- The path by land: Ziad’s eldest daughter and several other citizens decided otherwise judging the path by land is the best road to take hoping they will do better as refugees in other countries so they venture towards neighboring countries hoping that their decision was the right one. The film focuses on their journeys and their daily struggles trying to fight with a will to live against the odds of fear, chaos, war and destruction. For whatever path, they have decided to take, they believed that they will end eventually on “The Road To Heaven”. When asked about future works Rehab answered: “We are very interested in Joint Venturing with different movie industries in the Middle East. We are recently communicating with Egyptian, Iraqi and Lebanese film writers and artists, our ambition has no limit and we are moving forward in a very stable way. As for Dubai, International Film Festival things look very promising because the market itself tends to want films coming from Syria these days especially films that reflect different points of view. We hope that we will be able to Joint Venture with people who see well in both 36

In 2009 the projector technologies had many hurdles to overcome while would-be competitors prematurely launched inferior and incomplete imitations of Mr. Saied’s creations. The aforementioned companies couldn’t replicate the quality of Akyumen’s ingenuity and technological advancements in Projector Phone and Convertible Projector Tablet technologies. “The Akyumen Hawk Projector Phone and Akyumen Falcon Convertible Projector Tablet will be game changers for mobile entertainment, business presentations, educating students and training teachers, medical, and military

Starts with SelfImprovementCreate Your Own Economic Stimulus Plan. Early in life, Michael enrolled in the University of Hard Knocks where he failed financially. He spent his hard-earned money on his lifestyle. He filed bankruptcy, had his car repossessed, bank accounts drained, you name it, he experienced it. He decided to graduate from the University of Hard Knocks around the age of forty, took personal financial literacy education seriously and never looked back. After changing how he was negatively thinking, feeling, and acting about money, he began building wealth. His philanthropic journey began as he started giving back to educational causes. On the collegiate level, he supported HBCU`s (i.e. Historically Black Colleges) and Universities in the United States. Michael says that, “most people in my field have degrees; however, I have actual real-life experiences that have allowed me to be successful.” The most exciting part of his role as CEO, Michael says, “is creating new products and services from a single idea that has the capacity to positively impact the lives of others.”

Robbie has 40 years of Information Technology development and management experience within the retail and financial services industry.

Robbie demonstrated her commitment to the community through 30+ years of donating time and money to the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago and other charitable organizations. Says Robbie: “I am very confident in my ability to accomplish any goal I set my mind to. I can be a little stubborn and controlling at times which adds a touch of “spice” to my personality. I live by the financial literacy principles that we preach/teach. I know first-hand that educating yourself is critical to making sound financial decisions.” The exciting part of her role as President, she says, “is to help clients make positive and impactful changes in their lives.”

WHY FINANCIAL LITERACY ADVOCACY? Inspired by their own personal journey, Michael and Robbie want to change how you think, act and feel about money. They are passionate about intergenerational wealth, growing it, sustaining it, and passing healthy financial habits down to the next generation. During the U.S. economic downturn in 2007, overnight, people lost hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. They decided to revisit our own personal portfolio. They discovered that they were in the same boat as others when it came to losses. They acquired more knowledge and understanding on how to manage their personal finances. They restructured their personal financial options and began to see a positive resurgence in their cash flow. They invested in real estate which grew their passive investments.

homes, jobs and savings and take back control of their personal finances. Through Michael and Robbie’s own personal financial adversities and philanthropic efforts, they saw first-hand the benefits of helping others improve their lives. This experience, coupled with seeing family and friends experience economic turmoil without any knowledge of how to get themselves out inspired them to take up the mantle of financial education. They are actual proof that “Financially Speaking: The Best Improvement Starts with SelfImprovement.”

Michael was inspired to share his newfound knowledge on how to improve your personal finances with others. In 2006, Michael turned his past financial adversity into his third and most satisfying career as a writer. Michael self-published his first book, the first edition of Financially Speaking: The Best Improvement Starts with Self-Improvement in 2008.

They self-published the second edition of “Financially Speaking: The Best Improvement Starts with SelfImprovement-Create Your Own Economic Stimulus Plan in 2016, which became the cornerstone that formed the company’s financial education wings.” Using their book “Financially Speaking: The Best Improvement Starts with Self-Improvement-Create Your Own Economic Stimulus Plan,” they developed 7 principles that they live by. The principles are designed to help you achieve life-long financial security through financial literacy education. “People should believe that “It’s OK to Be Wealthy©”. One can accomplish anything with the proper mindset and plan.”

After the economic collapse, Michael and Robbie were compelled to enhance and expand the content of his first book. His goal was to further help educate and motivate the millions of people that loss their

Michael and Robbie, practice what they preach: “Even though we started late in life, we worked together and made a plan that allowed us to be able to retire early, 8-9 years before being officially eligible

for government retirement benefits at age 66. We now live financially secure and travel the world, enjoying life on our own terms.” They also made the decision to speak publicly in the United States and internationally about Financial Literacy Education. “Financial Literacy education is not a priority in our school systems. So, it is important that the issue be addressed by all of us and at all levels of society.” In Chicago, Michael interviewed Mike Ditka, the Coach of 1985 NFL Chicago Bears Super Bowl Champions. He asked Coach Ditka; “Because several athletes have lost over one hundred million dollars, what advice would you give young professional athletes about how to best manage their personal finances?” Coach Ditka stated that “the league should have a financial literacy program for rookies.” In Los Angeles, Michael also interviewed Actor Al Pacino. Michael asked Mr. Pacino “by you experiencing both poverty and a high level of success, what advice would you give young actors

and the public at large about how to manage their money?” Mr. Pacino said; “If you come from poverty like me, you must deal with your money, if you don`t they (accountants) will take it from you.”

GLOBAL IMPACT In February of 2017, Michael and Robbie shared the stage with one of their business coaches, JT Fox x, while speaking in Johannesburg South Africa at the JT Fox x Tycoons of Wealth weekend. They spoke in front of a crowd of over 1,200+ attendees from 20+ countries. During their speech, Michael and Robbie shared their global message about personal

WWW .LVH DUBAIAN . COM

Robbie interviewing Ndaba Mandela Photo by JT Fox x Organization

financial literacy education and the need for change.

Mike and Robbie on top of Burj Khalifa/Dubai

Michael says, “Bad money habits are destroying the dreams and futures of individuals across the globe. It doesn’t matter what currency you use – US Dollars, South African Rand, Euro, or the British Pound, it`s safe to say, and we all can agree that debt is a global problem.” Michael and Robbie also spoke directly to the South African people on live television, on radio and via local newspaper articles. Their message is direct, straight-forward and tells it like it is: “If you have money to spend, you have money to save. STOP buying items when you are depressed. STOP falling for the buy-one-get-one-free promotions. STOP buying all the shining objects being constantly waived in your face. And most importantly, the Mathews couple preaches, STOP keeping debt when you have extra cash to pay it off.” Mike and Robbie on top of Table Mountain/SA

Robbie also stressed that “You can’t get wealthy working a 9 to 5 job. Don’t make the mistake of working 40 hours a week for 40 years just to end up living off 40% of your income when you retire. Think outside the box… Start a business, learn to generate passive income.” These are all lessons that they personally had to learn the hard way. In addition to Michael and Robbie delivering an empowering financial literacy education speech in Johannesburg, Robbie personally interviewed Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Ndaba Mandela live on stage. She asked him, “What advice would he give the people of South Africa to help them change from a culture of spending to a culture of saving for their financial future?” Mr. Mandela, responded, “You must make your family a priority and save for your future. My inspiration is my children and the children across the world.” While in South Africa, Michael and Robbie took a walk on the “wild side” and stepped outside of their comfort zone. They jumped into a pit to cuddle with some “lions” albeit baby ones!! Despite Robbie’s, fear of heights, they went to the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town and to the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai! There is a special quote that they both subscribe to that states, “Being courageous doesn’t mean that you aren’t afraid. To be courageous, means that you have the inner strength to embrace being afraid and still move forward.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF COACHING

Mike and Robbie holding baby lions/SA 48

Michael and Robbie are Financial Literacy Educators and Coaches. According to Michael, “in every aspect of your life from birth to death, we all experience some level of coaching; it starts with our parents teaching us how to walk and talk, right from wrong, followed by the teachers who taught us reading, WWW .LVH DUBAIAN .

writing and math. The difference between teaching and coaching is that teachers provide you with core educational systems that are designed to help you function within society. Coaches provides strategies and accountability for you to persevere far beyond the words I can`t or I quit! As a former American and European Basketball player, the difference in winning championships is the will of the coach. The coach identifies all the strengths and weaknesses of the team members, and that of their opponents. They then outline systems for success that is powered by the desire of the team to win, while holding each member accountable. A coach, after careful assessment, will tell you what you don`t want to hear, but knowing that you need to hear it! The coach will help you create the roadmap for your journey, give you advice and hold you accountable for reaching each step along the way to ensure you reach your next destination. But it is up to you to stay the course and follow the plan. Michael and Robbie understand the value of having a coach and learning from those who are very successful.

SULA NYC Kaori Ikeda

While exploring new products and opportunities, a dear friend and journalist, Misao introduced her to an exotic line of skin care products from Morocco. In 2012, SULA NYC TOKYO was born. She was intrigued and attracted by the effectiveness of the Argan oils in making the skin feel refreshed, smooth and silky. She made the decision to infuse the splendor of Argan oil into the Asian market and has turned SULA NYC into the predominant authority in Asia. The rest is history, so to speakâ&#x20AC;Ś Kaori humbly notes that she has learned many wonderfully valuable lessons from her experiences with people she has met over many years of globetrotting, and it has truly caused her to develop a yearning to understand her own culture that much more. Traveling allows her to tap into her inspiration that ultimately renews her dreams and also refreshes her spirit.

“I think sometimes that we as Japanese don’t understand our cultural impact very well or appreciate the splendor and beauty of Japan as much as we really should. To know and learn more about my Japanese soul, roots, origin and culture that has inspired so many other cultures is where I would like to focus my learning in the future.” Kaori Ikeda EMAIL IKEDA @SULANYC.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE By Aya Dubaian

How to get rid of belly fats? Most common misconception, people go to the gym to get rid of belly fats. Belly fats are made from your kitchen not in the gym. Training result will also depend on your goal. All the goals matter on how you prepare your food. Training results has a ratio of 70/30. That means 70% from your healthy and proper food. 30% from your physical activity.

Let’s talk about the 70% Instead of going to a restaurant or ordering food from outside, cook at home. Home preparation is the healthiest way to get a nutrient because you know what you are eating and what the ingredients are. Eat potato fries is better than nothing at all but it will be better to have a baked or steamed potato. Replace frying to a bake and steamed food. Eating junk during your snacks like chocolate bar, candy or doughnut, try to have a fruit or vegetables. Make a healthy list when buying at a grocery or market. In this way, you save time, money and effort. Organize your fridge. It is good to see colorful fruits and vegetables inside, instead of putting in the unhealthy stuffs. *Not all diets are effective for each person. Seek a Dietitian/Nutritionist for a specific diet.

What’s the purpose of 30%? Healthy diet alone will not make you stronger. It will help you lose weight but it doesn’t help you gain strength. Doing physical activities will help you build strength, toned your body and tighten your skin. To achieve a lean, tight and tone physique, lifting some weights and cardio training. *Consultation is a must before exercising if you are a complete beginner.

Why am I gaining more fat while I am not eating? Our body will keep our body fat for survival. When you are not eating the required amount at the right time when your body needs, it will keep storing fats and it will use your muscle as your energy. Our muscle has glycogen restoration where the energy being restored. Food is your fuel to support the fat burning process. Eat enough to keep your digestive system active and keep up your hydration to burn more.

5 Reason why the stubborn fats loved to stay in your body Exercising Too Much

There is no harm of being active everyday but a lot of people does not know that our body need to rest 48-72 hours for the recovery and regeneration of the muscles. People who does full body workout everyday will not see a good result and will lead to lose of the muscles compared to the one who had a complete muscle recovery. It is more effective when there is a gap of 2-3 days to the next training sessions. 60

FOR A BETTER YOU. You’re Eating Incomplete Macro-Nutrient

Carbohydrates, Fats and Proteins are the essential macro-nutrients our body needs most. A misconception by many that eating low carbs, have more protein and eliminate the fat in a meal. Carbohydrates or Carbs is the primary source of our energy; your body will not burn fats without taking in carb rich food in your meal. Good source of carbs like, vegetables and fruit. Fats is a backup source of energy to fuel your workout when carbohydrate are not available. Fat is an essential part of your diet. It improves energy, absorbs certain nutrient and maintain your core body temperature. Avocado, cheese, dark chocolate, whole eggs, fish, nuts, Shia seeds, olive oil, coconuts or coconut oil and full fat yoghurt are examples of Fat-source food. Protein every single cell in the body contains protein. Basic structure is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones. Dairy products, eggs, nuts, meat, legumes, quinoa, spinach etc… are example of protein source food. *If you are carbs sensitive, then you may temporarily eliminate fruits and have a less than 50g of carb per day. A low-carbs diet is about more than just lowering your intake of carbs. Replace a bad carbs with a real food. Throw all processed foods like bread, added sugar chocolates and corn flakes. It’s not a real food. Real food such as eggs, vegetables and healthy fats like fish.

You’re Always Eating

A myth in health and fitness that everyone should be eating many, small meal throughout the day. Never skip your meal Breakfast- lunch- dinner. Try eating fewer meals and consider giving intermittent fasting a shot. *Intermittent fasting eating in an 8-hour window each day or doing 24 hours fasts 1-2 times per week. This is useful to avoid plateau.

You’re not Sleeping Enough

Sleep is most important for overall health and studies show that lack pf sleep correlates with weight gain and obesity. A lack of sleep will make you hungrier. It will also make us tired and less motivated to exercise and eating healthy food. Sleep is also a pillar of a healthy lifestyle. Some tips to improve sleep: · Avoid caffeine after 2pm. · Sleep in a dim light like dark blue light, it will stimulate your sleep. · Avoid drinking alcohol and cardio training at night. · BodyART, Yoga or meditation will help you lower down your energy level. · Cardio training will make your heart rate high and make your energy high. If you have trouble of sleep disorder, see a doctor.

You have a Health Condition Getting in your way

There is certain medication that are known to stimulate weight gain. Many hormonal disorder can cause problems losing weight particularly, hypothyroidism. Read the side effect of your medication you are taking in the templates and see Weight Gain – then make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your options. Perhaps there is another pill doesn’t cause you gaining weight. Aya Dubaian aya.dubaian@yahoo.com Fitness Professional / bodyART Trainer WWW .LVH DUBAIAN . COM

THE G8™ RECYCLE MACHINE The Future of Sustainable Resource Recycling by David Hagerty

In our world of limited resources, we are faced with many challenges that demand our immediate attention: ensuring healthy food supplies for a rapidly expanding global population, developing clean and sustainable power sources for growing economies, efficiently and safely treating the many waste streams that emanate from human population centers, among many others. But for at least these three daunting problems, G8™ has an answer that is already successfully operating in several areas of the world. G8™ has developed a revolutionary new, multi-patented technology called Sub-Critical Thermal Hydrolysis, a waste processing system that uses water at high pressures and elevated temperatures to safely and efficiently transform municipal, agricultural, food processing, and medical waste - even sewage - into safe, sterile, odor-free, animal feed, fertilizer, nonsulfurous petroleum substitutes, and more. G8™’s patented technology breaks down a vast range of substances of different origins and physical and chemical characteristics, from plastics to organics and food processing byproducts, into their base chemicals. This method is safe, effective, fast, and produces no bacterial hazards, toxic chemicals or other pollutants. A brief comparison of the G8™ technology with today’s standard waste disposal methods is presented below:

• Incineration of garbage emits greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and combustion products such as hydrogen chloride gas from PVC (which turns into hydrochloric acid in one’s lungs), and other poisonous gases from burning household cleaning chemicals. • G8™ emits no gases of any kind, because the entire waste processing sequence takes place inside a closed, pressurized vessel. • Starches and proteins from plant, animal, and food waste, and even sewage are broken down by G8™’s SubCritical Thermal Hydrolysis process into their component molecules: carbohydrates and amino acids, which are much easier for livestock to metabolize. • Rather than being heavily oxidized by the high temperatures and corrosive gases found inside an incinerator, metals are recovered unchanged. • Landfilling most waste stream contents results in unrestrained aerial dispersion of horribly virulent strains of dangerous bacteria, seepage of carbon dioxide and methane (both highly potent greenhouse gases), and

potentially, even severe groundwater contamination. The chemical breakdown processes that occur can take years and sometimes centuries to complete and their contents are lost to us forever. • No bacteria or viruses, greenhouse gases, or liquids can escape the G8™. • G8™ can process tons of waste in a few hours per batch, and the end products are clean, sterile, safe, and ready to package for sale. • These current methods rob us of the opportunities to process these waste streams into useful fertilizers, animal feed, and petroleum substitutes, which results in an economic loss and an irrecoverable drain on our planet’s resources. • G8™ allows us to immediately recover the useful organic components of the waste streams for use as compost, fertilizer, or animal feed - even more critical to sustaining and ensuring our global food supplies as the human population increases year by year. • Metals - all of which are easily separated from the other products as the last step in the Sub-Critical Thermal Hydrolysis process - cost much less to recover than to mine and smelt. • Landfills and incinerators are huge, bulky, smelly, stationary facilities that in most countries require special zoning to set up and operate. They are often expensive and usually located far from population centers because of their undesirable odors and emissions. • G8™ can be installed in a relatively small space and if necessary, palletized and moved to a new location in a matter of days. • In many cases, no special zoning requirements will apply to the G8™, due to its size and the fact that generates no odors or toxic waste. G8™ can be installed in the basement of a hotel or government building, and the process products can be sold as a revenue stream or donated to local communities. • Incinerators consume massive amounts of energy to sometimes only partially destroy the toxic waste that is loaded into them.

The G8™M Recycle Machine

• A bolt-on module is now being designed to make use of the processing byproducts as clean fuel for the machine, so the G8™ can be sustainably operated “off the grid”. G8™ is truly the wave of the future in this critical industry— it successfully eliminates three very serious problems facing Humankind, while offering a clean, safe solution with no polluting byproducts. The space requirements and setup costs are very low and it can be located anywhere it is needed. If your municipality, hospital, food processing plant, wastewater treatment plant, hotel, or any other facility you know can benefit from a low-cost, clean, odor-free, simpleto-operate waste treatment system that can offer cash back from its treatment products, then you should consider the G8™. Distributorships can be discussed. For more information, please contact Rene Watson of Far East Advisory, Inc., our exclusive authorized distributor throughout the Middle East, GCC, and Jordan.

MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY

by Rene Watson

I BELIEVE THAT MARTIAL ARTS GIVES THEM CONFIDENCE, INSURANCE FOR THEIR FUTURE AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, EVERYDAY LIFE. F. ROBEAUX

Fabrice Robeaux hails from the north of France, near Lille to be exact. A most humble beginning for this Martial Arts Master whom as a child lived with his brother in a home where kicks, punches and regular bullying were a normal recurring event. “They brought hell to our home and our life,” says Fabrice with deep reflection. At the age of 6, his older brother introduced him to the world of Judo and from that moment, martial arts became his focus, his escape from all of the madness.

Freedom and justice became his credo and was a driving force in creating what he has become today. For several years, he continued to learn and practice both Judo and Karate, growing more proficient each and every day. At the age of 15, his life as a martial artist would truly begin. A Korean Martial Arts Master from Brussels, Belgium saw his technical quality and asked him if he would want to learn under his guidance. Learning classic Taekwondo and Hapkido opened a golden new chapter, of mentor and disciple, of master and student, learning traditional Korean martial arts customs and valuable life skills that allowed him to build a lifeline for himself and the confidence to achieve his goals and aspirations. He received his first black belt at the age of 18 and was well on his way to fulfilling his life’s work on a path of service for others. After returning to France at age 20, he created his first fight club and turned his focus to teaching and fostering the development of underprivileged youth. He continued to hone his skills and expand his knowledge in other forms of martial arts such as Thai Kick Boxing and Full Contact Karate in which he received his black

70 WWW.D UBAIANM AGAZINE. COM

belt as well. He quickly established two schools and became well respected within his community. For 8 years he remained in France and Strasbourg and was commissioned to mentor two state athletes who became recognized professionals in the sport.

Fabrice created the Martial Arts Academy six years ago, a United Nations registered organization where he combines his martial arts philosophy with various programs designed around educating children, disabled youth and adults, police academies, women’s self-defense and even music therapy. The Martial Arts Academy has a renowned team of instructors and mentors for example; a clinical psychologist, Fiona Fournet; a music therapist and opera singer-Valeria Florencio, and an entire team of black belt martial

artists. This international team allows them to create various partnerships with organizations around the world in all areas of expertise such as fashion, cinema or music and thus adds value to the exchange in friendships. Over the years, Fabrice has had many students and some have now become professors themselves. For him it is the ultimate satisfaction to see his students become mentors to others. He believes the Master must teach the student all the values of martial arts, the difficult techniques, to respect the body, mind and spirit of not only oneself but more importantly of others. Fabrice says with a happy heart, “When a student becomes a mentor, my job is done!” Coming

from such a hard childhood existence, Fabrice finds that his experiences have the power to motivate and encourage others. He says, “When a child tells you that it’s hard… that it’s too difficult to practice, I tell them of my personal story, what I have gone through to be a teacher and to be able to encourage and support the person in front of me. When they understand the difficulties and sacrifices it takes, they are hooked!” “We live in a society, where there are strangers, bad people on the streets snatching up children, but they

can get in their heads too... even family, neighbors, friends… who are worse? They can do harm to children mentally, physically, kidnap them, abduct them, and even kill them!! So, before an attack, it is important that children know how to defend themselves, to know how to deal with the potential aggressor!! In my classes, children learn to respect themselves, their peers and their parents. I believe that martial arts gives them confidence, insurance for their future and even more importantly, everyday life.” Fabrice works especially with children and those with disabilities. He says we must show them that they are someone, because for a lot of them, they suffer silently. His 41 years of experience in the martial arts world is the result of a passion, a love for the art and the power that can be exercised when you are focused and centered.

THE BEAUTIFUL GAME - A BEAUTIFUL SEASON by Rossana Huang · Photos by Rossana Huang and Tony Wilson

The most popular sport in the world is soccer, yet it has not achieved the popularity of football and other sports in the United States. Probably because baseball and football was so dominant from the beginning of the early settlers. This brings the point of an experience I had in Rosarito Beach, Baja, Mexico. While there I wrote about various resorts, which included the Rosarito Beach Hotel, The Las Rocas Resort and Spa, and Bajamar Golf Resort and Spa in Ensenada. While I was there, I met Gil Sperry, the editor of The Baja Times. We spoke about the films I produced for Damian Chapa and my fondness of Rosarito

Beach. Mr. Sperry then spoke to me about a book he had written about soccer, “The Beautiful Game - A Beautiful Season,” which covered the history of soccer. He also spoke about on how he took a group of kids from the burros and mentored them to become responsible young adults and talented soccer players, which he wrote about in his book. It was that story that Mr. Sperry wanted to see made into a film. During our conversation, we agreed that it would indeed make a great story, and that I would produce the film. The fact is, the film will promote family values, the popularity of soccer and promote tourism in Rosarito beach and surrounding areas. What’s not to like about a sport such as soccer and a meaningful story that would help complete a dream that Sperry has had for a few years. By the way, this would help the completion of the Boys and Girls Club that he started with Rosie Torres.

In the casting of this film tentatively set for late June, Eric Roberts will star along with Danny Trejo, and Del WWW .LVH DUBAIAN . COM

Other actors include Tom Hallick, former star of “The Young and Restless,” Clement von Franckenstein from “Hail Caesar,” and Said Faraj, from “Green Zone.” Sy Richardson, director and actor known for “Repo Man,” among many other films is set to direct, and is writing the script from Sperry’s book.

Indeed, the film business can influence the public in a good way, whether it’s fast action stories, or drama. There are however films and documentaries that are very informative. One of those documentaries that promote global peace, is “Winds of Freedom.”. This 49-minute documentary is the vision of Alex Ayzin and was produced by Mr. Ayzin and myself. It is a message that everyone should consider viewing.

Donald Trump on CNR Network While in Rosarito Beach I met Juan Felipe Prado R. Mercadotecnia the reporter for CNR Network who had mistaken me for President Donald Trump. Since I had interviewed President Trump before he became President of The United States, on several occasions I thought it a good idea to take Mr. Mercadotecnia’s invitation to appear on his live broadcast with actor - FBI agent Rich Rossi. To that avail, I have been asked to appear at various social functions and trade shows. So, life is good to represent President Trump in a positive and comedic way. Through God’s good grace life has many surprises, one of which is meeting producer - casting director Joe Guinan. Mr. Guinan, a lover of Elvis Presley, and an actor asked me to be part of a reality show entitled “The Elvis -Trump Show.” Elvis will be played by Joe Guinan and Trump will
