BATTISTA DEBUT AT ROME E-PRIX

makes it a year to remember for Automobili Pininfarina

16

| ORLANDOSTYLEMAGAZINE.COM

TOYS

Automobili Pininfarina debuted its stunning pure-electric 1,900 hp Battista hypercar in Italy this past month ahead of its first anniversary attendance at the 2019 Rome Formula E race weekend 12th/13th April.

The stunning Blu Iconica Battista will take pride of place alongside its technology cousin, a specially liveried Mahindra Racing Formula E car, just 12 months after the new Automobili Pininfarina company was introduced at the 2018 Rome Formula E race.

Sharing in the first birthday celebrations is technical partner Mahindra Racing, who is hosting a passionate audience of car fans, motorsport enthusiasts, and friends of Automobili Pininfarina in the Formula E eVillage fan zone where Formula E presents the latest innovations in automotive technology.

Michael Perschke, CEO, Automobili Pininfarina, said, “The 2019 Rome Formula E race weekend is a huge moment in time for us.

It is our ‘home’ Formula E race and where, 12 months ago, we announced the formation of Automobili Pininfarina alongside our ambition to help realize the Pininfarina family dream to one day see a full range of cars solely badged with their iconic name.

“It is only right that we return to our spiritual home where electric power is once again being celebrated. The Battista will be the most powerful car ever designed and built in Italy, so we look forward to returning here in 2020 and showing our Italian fans the car in action.”

Automobili Pininfarina Automobili Pininfarina was announced in April 2018 at the Rome Formula E race as the world’s newest car brand, and the only car brand currently solely focused on producing a full range of luxury electric cars. The company returns to Rome this weekend to celebrate its first birthday, highlighting to supercar and motorsport fans the potential power, excitement, and sustainable values of extreme electric performance.

Within 12 months, the company, based in Germany and Italy, has recruited an enviable list of design and engineering experts, presented three production-ready design models of its first car at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, secured a global network of specialist luxury car retail partners, confirmed that its second model, codenamed PF1, will be presented at the 2019 Monterey Car Week, and now celebrates its first birthday in Rome.

The Pininfarina Battista The Battista will be Automobili Pininfarina’s first pure-electric luxury car when it arrives next year. Electric power facilitates incredible performance targets. The Battista’s 120 kWh battery provides power to four electric motors – one at each wheel – that combine to produce a targeted 1,900 hp and 2,300 Nm (1,696 lb/ft) torque.

With its beautifully elegant design by the world-famous Pininfarina S.P.A. styling studios in Italy – the name behind the styling of over 60 Ferraris – a single-charge range targeting 300 miles or a non-stop drive from New York to New Hampshire, and a sprint to 60 mph in less than two seconds – faster than a Formula 1 car – the Battista represents a new reality for electric car desirability and a new poster car for the EV generation.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

By Riesa Pascal

We’re nearly halfway through 2019,

but here in Orlando the fun times just keep on rolling! Check out all the highlights from the month of April, just in case you missed it!

Fans of Cirque Du Soleil were in for a treat when the beloved company brought LUZIA to the Florida Mall! The beautiful show, which ran until April 21st, was inspired by the richness of the Mexican culture. The name Luzia fuses the sound of luz and lluvia, two elements at the core of the show’s creation. LUZIA took guests to an imaginary Mexico where light (“luz” in Spanish) quenches the spirit and rain (“lluvia”) soothes the soul. With a surrealistic series of grand visual surprises and breathtaking acrobatic performances, LUZIA cleverly brought to the stage multiple places, faces, and sounds of Mexico taken from both tradition and modernity.

The Seven Seas Food Festival returned to SeaWorld and invited park guests to sip and sample their way around the world of international street food traditions. From now until May 5th, guests can still discover globallyinspired flavors while enjoying local craft beers and culinary marketplaces throughout the fun-filled park. The fun even goes beyond the sipping and sampling with live performances from top country, rock, and Latin music artists each weekend of the festival.

On April 6th, the 3rd Annual Fashion for Wishes show united Orlando based boutiques with local makeup and hair stylists showcasing their upcoming Spring Collections. Local models walked the runway as well as local celebrities, from on-air news anchors to radio emcees with all proceeds going directly to Make-A-Wish Central & Northern Florida.

| ORLANDOSTYLEMAGAZINE.COM

Even yours truly got to strut the catwalk on behalf of Orlando Style Magazine! On-air expert, fashion stylist, and blogger, Melanie Pace, and reporter/host for the Golf Channel, George Savaricas, were the Special Guest Emcees for the fashionable and fun evening.

From April 12th-21st, the 2019 Florida Film Festival showcased the best in cutting-edge current cinema, indulgent experiences in food and wine, a mix of industry parties, special events, and a star-packed attendee list.

Accredited by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the festival welcomes more than 25,000 guests each year, playing host to more than 100 visiting directors, producers and award-winning talent. This year’s special guests included Richard Dreyfuss for a Special Screening of The Goodbye Girl and the creators of The Blair Witch Project.

The 14th Annual Central Florida Earth Day was an exciting afternoon of colorful and educational exhibits and activities! It took place at beautiful Lake Eola Park in Downtown Orlando on April 20th with completely free admission. Now in its 14th year, the family-friendly, dog-friendly, alcohol-free, and smoke-free event is the biggest and best Earth Day festival in Central Florida. Visitors enjoyed presentations, food preparation demonstrations, environmental education, Earth Kids Zone, tasty food, an Artist Corner, an Animal Haven, live music on hybrid and acoustic stages, and many Earth-friendly sponsors and vendors.

The Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens hosted the 11th Annual Winter Park Paint Out Plein Air Festival from April 21st to 27th! Twenty-five professionally-acclaimed

plein air artists painted at the Polasek Museum and locations nearby while art lovers were invited to watch the artists at work, view their recently completed paintings in the gallery, and attend free painting demonstrations. Artwork created during the Winter Park Paint Out were all available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds going to support the preservation, maintenance, and operation of the museum and gardens.

On April 26th, jazz enthusiasts enjoyed a live jazz concert under the stars at The Alfond Inn! Held from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m, the Get Your Jazz On event featured live entertainment by The Buzzcatz in addition to unlimited select wine, beer, spirits, and seasonally blended cocktails.

The culinary team served up an award-winning roasted pig, but vegetarian selections were also available along with incredible food from the VIP food sponsor. Proceeds helped fund The Alfond Inn at Rollins College Scholars Program which awards scholarships to deserving Rollins College Students.

FANS OF CIRQUE DU SOLEIL WERE IN FOR A TREAT WHEN THE BELOVED COMPANY BROUGHT LUZIA TO THE FLORIDA MALL!

LUXURY WEDDINGS

Sara and Faysal’s fairy-tale wedding at the stunning Four Seasons Resort in Orlando, Florida had all the details that make up a dream wedding, with planner Annie Nuno from The Soirée Co. making sure that all the details were executed beautifully, and the talented Victoria Angela Photography capturing them from start to finish.

design, with the floral chandelier framing the stage and with two floral arrangements flanking the love seat. The custom-made floral masterpiece, designed by Jesus from Raining Roses, hung above the Cleo Chaise from A Chair Affair and awaited the newlyweds. The luxurious piece of furniture was ideal for their breathtaking photographs.

This fairy-tale couple met just like in the storybooks: at a medical and dental conference that they both were attending.

Sara and Faysal bonded over the stress they shared while they were both attending medical and dental school. They shared a love of travel, which is why Faysal got down on his knee on a beach in Pensacola the day before New Year’s Eve and asked Sara to be his travel partner for life.

Following the ceremony, the guests enjoyed a surprise visit from Mickey and Minnie Mouse, showcasing the couple’s love of all things Disney. Then, it was time to introduce the newlyweds! Sara and Faysal walked through a fantastic shower of fireworks that wowed the crowd! They went right into their first dance that was performed by a group of violinists as they danced on the circular dance floor with their “F&S” monogram in gold while their families were seated around the dance floor in A Chair Affair’s gorgeous high gloss serpentine tables. The Richard tables gave the family the best seat in the house and looked stunning while doing so.

Annie from The Soirée Co. designed the couple’s dream wedding, using their wedding colors of white and gold, intertwining their circle theme throughout, a reminder of the rings the couple would exchange at the wedding and the eternal love between them.

When it came to the wedding fashion, Sara and Faysal looked every bit the roles of prince and princess in their fairy-tale wedding. Sara wore a beautiful custom made Eve of Milady gown, with a jaw-dropping handmade veil from Turkey. The delicate lace and floral detailing almost stole the show. Faysal was a dashing groom in his classic tuxedo, and looked handsome next to his blushing bride.

The wedding ceremony and reception were set up in the beautiful Four Seasons Resort ballroom. Surround by crisp white and creams with touches of gold, the room was awaiting the royal couple. As it is customary in Syrian weddings, the bride and groom sat upon a stage instead of just a sweetheart table.

Sara and Faysal wanted a simple but elegant

Four Seasons Orlando

When it was time to cut the cake from It’s Tasty Too, the white draping was pulled back to reveal a towering 10-tiered confectionery masterpiece. Taking another Syrian tradition, the couple held a sword to cut the gorgeous cake. As the sword went into the cake, at the recommendation from the wedding designer, a confetti cannon was released to add to the wow factor!

The evening was filled with laughter and dancing. The dance floor was packed and guests had a wonderful time dancing with the custom made light up party sticks with the couple’s hashtag #Rifairytale. The fabulous Four Seasons Resort is always a dream come true for brides and grooms, and this wedding for Sara and Faysal was definitely a dream wedding!

BEAUTY The Best Facial For Brides-To-Be Treat yourself to a fancy facial before your big day. If you have dehydrated skin, blemishes, or inflammation due to stress, a deepcleansing facial treatment, like a HydraFacial, will do the trick. You’ll have a coveted glow on your big day. Brides should get this facial seven to 10 days before the wedding, that way if purging happens—purging is when things come up from under the skin after using a certain product or having a facial—it will clear up and the skin will be fresh, exfoliated, and prepped for smooth makeup application.

MISMATCHED DONE RIGHT

Tips for pulling off this bridesmaid trend

Skip the Wine & Get To Juicing Because vino is such a world-class dehydrator, capillary-breaker, and radiance-robber, downing endless glasses is one of the biggest crimes against complexion brides-to-be commit. If it’s too hard to part ways with your wine, at least cut back and substitute that Bordeaux with liquefied leafy greens—especially during the few months leading up to your wedding.

Green juice is great for skin because it’s oxygenating and contains vital minerals to help stimulate the lymphatic system and drain out puffiness.

Bridesmaid style has come a long way.

Gone are the days of everyone wearing the same dress. Today, brides are mixing it up with mismatched bridesmaid dresses, creating truly unique ensembles featuring gorgeous dresses with different styles, fabrics, hemlines and colors. The trend allows you to highlight each individual woman and ensure she’s wearing a dress that makes her feel great. Using mismatched bridesmaid dresses presents a new set of challenges, however. If it’s not done right, you can end up with a disjointed-looking bridal party rather than a cohesive, complementary one. We complied a simple guide for choosing the perfect dresses to compliment your wedding!

Colors As you know, color is one of the most important elements in your wedding! Choosing to mismatch your bridesmaid dresses is a great way to add personality and fun to your wedding.

Mixing colors can pose challenges, so make sure you have a clear idea of what you want and communicate it to your bridesmaids! We suggest choosing a color family or palette as an easy way to create a cohesive look (such as neutrals, jewel tones, pinks, blues, etc.). You can be broad with a color family (pastels), more specific with a color (pink), or narrow it down to a particular shade (blush). You can order fabric swatches to have

a tangible way to compare your options, or you can visit a hardware store and pick up free paint samples!

Fabrics Mixing fabrics is an easy way to create a beautiful mismatched look! Be careful, though, as fabrics that are too different may not look the best together. As a guideline, it’s usually best to pair cohesive fabrics like chiffon and lace together, and put shiny fabrics such as satin and silk together.

Styles The amazing thing about choosing a mismatched bridal style is that all your beautiful bridesmaids get to choose a dress style that truly flatters them! Let’s be honest, not every style looks good on everyone. We all are different heights, figures, and sizes, so choosing just one dress to compliment every bridesmaid can be tough.

Letting your bridesmaids choose their dress style gives them the opportunity to find a dress that will really make them shine. You can also help your Maid of Honor stand out this way by styling her in a different dress! There are really no rules when it comes to mismatched bridesmaid styles, but you can choose to include one consistent feature across the dresses. Choosing to go all strapless, have flowy skirts, or deciding on a consistent gown length can be a few ways to find a consistent flow.

DON’T MISS THE BEAT

DON’T MISS THE BEAT

sweetener tour Fresh off of the Coachella stage as the youngest artist in

history to headline the most coveted music festival in the nation, Ariana Grande is taking her Sweetener Tour to Tampa’s Amalie Arena on May 28 and Orlando’s Amway Center on May 29. With two chart-topping albums only months apart that have redefined the singer’s career, in both musicality as well as maturity, Grande has achieved a recordbreaking paramount unimagined for a woman of her age.

While the painful events of the past few years have clearly charted the course of Grande’s most recent two albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next, she has not let clouds of sorrow or thoughts of regret become the driving force behind her projects. Rather, Grande has taken an approach of hopeful vulnerability, openly addressing these moments— the attack on her Manchester concert, the death of her former boyfriend Mac Miller, and her split from ex-fiancé Pete Davidson— with an honesty that leaves room for a positive conversation with her audience about the joy reality offers when moving on becomes inevitable.

There are effortless notes of this joy on the hip-hop-tinted

BY COURTNEY CAGGIANO

Thank U, Next, from the poppy self-assuredness of “NASA” and “Bloodline” to the romantic daydream of the opening track, “Imagine.” Yet this daydream seems unrealized, as Grande fantasizes about a love that was cut too short to be fulfilled. Perhaps the artist introduces her latest album with this choice of lyrical expression to imply that her happiness is now viewed from a seat of sadness.

On her fifth studio album, Grande also takes a moment of melancholic reflection with “Ghostin,” her tribute to the late Miller, and simultaneously a possible love note, at the time, to Davidson, as Grande deals with the passing of the love echoed in “Imagine.”

While these deeper valleys of introspection fashion Thank U, Next into a remarkably real work of the eclectic nature of human emotion, it definitely marks an incomparable high point in Grande’s career, if not her personal life. The album’s lead single, “Thank U, Next,” became the singer’s first Billboard no. 1 and the song with the longest run at no.

1 by a female artist. This feat was followed closely by “7 Rings,” which broke Spotify’s 24-hour streaming record and stands as the largest YouTube music video debut of 2019.

The combined singles garnered Grande multiple broken records, making her the youngest female artist to achieve two no. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as the woman with the fastest succession of these no. 1 songs.

And as wonderfully prolific as Grande is in the studio, she is even more successful at developing a connection with her fans through the live experience. With no shortage of high ponies and even higher notes belted out in arenas worldwide, The Sweetener Tour showcases a more sensitive side of Grande, with emotional onstage renditions of Thank U, Next favorites—but these in no way replace the fierce conviction of hits like “Dangerous Woman” and “No Tears Left to Cry.” Grande’s softer sense of realism only strengthens the air of poise and grace under pressure the singer has always carried.

AND AS WONDERFULLY PROLIFIC AS GRANDE IS IN THE STUDIO, SHE IS EVEN MORE SUCCESSFUL AT DEVELOPING A CONNECTION WITH HER FANS THROUGH THE LIVE EXPERIENCE.

CELEBRITY SOUP

CELEBRITY COUPLES

WHO MADE IT

CELEBRITY SOUP

THESE STARS PROVED ‘HAPPILY EVER AFTER’ ISN’T JUST FOR THE MOVIES!

BY RIESA PASCAL

It’s sad that a celebrity couple staying married for longer than two weeks is newsworthy, but if we’re being honest, celebrity marriages don’t exactly have the most stellar track record in the staying together department.

Fortunately statistics are made to be challenged, and these celebrities have been challenging them for over 10 years and they’re still going strong!

WILL SMITH & JADA PINKETT SMITH After meeting on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Will and Jada started dating in 1994 and were married in 1997. They’ve been getting jiggy with it ever since and now share two children together in addition to Will’s son from a previous relationship. Will spoke of their marriage in an interview saying, “If there is a secret I would say it’s that we never went into working in our relationship. We only ever worked on ourselves individually, and then presented ourselves to one another better than we were previously.”

SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR & FREDDIE PRINZE JR. When these two met in 1997 on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer, they quickly discovered they were soulmates and begin dating one another. Five years later, they sealed the deal with a wedding and have been madly in love ever since. Though neither star has returned to Hollywood in a heavy capacity, both are excited about the current chapter of their life together as parents of 9 year old Charlotte Grace and 6 year old Rocky James.

DAVID BECKHAM & VICTORIA BECKHAM Victoria was a world-famous Spice Girl when she met her future husband at a charity football game in 1997. Though she didn’t really know who he was at the time, she let him take her out on a date and by the following year they were engaged. Though the Spice Girls fizzled out and David eventually retired from soccer, the love birds are still one of Hollywood’s hottest couples and now have four children together.

HUGH JACKMAN & DEBORRA-LEE FURNESS Long before he was fighting mutants alongside his fellow X-Men, Hugh Jackman met and married his wife DeborraLee Furness. A year after they met in 1995, the couple said “I do” and though millions of fans swoon over Hugh’s chiseled physique and superb acting skills, he has never taken his eyes off of his bride calling Deborra-Lee “the greatest thing that ever happened to me.”

DAVID BOWIE & IMAN When this power couple tied the knot in 1992, it was the third marriage for the Somali born supermodel and the second marriage for the English rockstar. Needless to say, the odds were stacked up against them, but true love prevailed and the two remained happily in love with each other right up until David’s passing in January 2016, after 24 years of marriage. Today, Iman still wears a gold necklace that reads “David” and says she’ll continue wearing it until the day she dies.

STRONGER BODY, STRONGER MIND

How exercise is one of the best ways to boost resilience

After an argument or a near-miss traffic

accident, does your body recover quickly, or slowly? The answer seems to be crucial for understanding your level of resilience – not to mention your physical health – says Dr. Matt Stults-Kolehmainen, an exercise specialist at the Yale Stress Center, part of Yale University, in New Haven, Connecticut.

A stressful situation triggers the fight-orflight response. The hypothalamic pituitary axis (HPA), which involves parts of the brain and body, pumps out the stress hormones adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol. Regular stress can lead to chronically higher than normal levels of cortisol, which can damage cells in the hypothalamus. As well as being important for laying down memories, the hypothalamus, as part of the HPA, is also critically involved in stress management. People with major depression and anxiety disorders often have smaller than normal hypothalami, and in 2013 two papers in the journal Science identified high cortisol as a potential trigger for mental illness.

Regular aerobic exercise can help. It boosts the production of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which maintains the health of brain cells, including those in the hypothalamus, and also stimulates the creation of new ones. It also helps people recover faster from a stressor. At the Yale Stress Center, Stults-Kolehmainen and his colleagues have 58

taken groups of regular exercisers and nonexercisers into the lab and asked them to give a speech in public or count backwards out loud – anything to get them stressed. “What we see [with cortisol] is that the exercisers react more strongly, so they have a higher spike,” he says.

“But when the stress ends, they recover much faster.” In other words, the cortisol does not hang around to do damage.

combat if they weren’t trained, protected, ready to take on the fight – so how could we possibly send them into a situation where they might not be resilient?” says Stacey Young-McCaughan, a retired US Army colonel, now Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, where she’s working on using exercise to augment standard post-traumatic stress disorder treatments.

Along with psychological counselling, dietary advice, medical checks, meditation training (especially mindfulness) and yoga, exercise is one of the key strategies used at the Yale Stress Center to help patients. Stults-Kolehmainen creates exercise prescriptions, which are designed to build clients up to 150 minutes a week, ideally in five sessions of 30 minutes.

“The recommendation for physical health is 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week.”

And for psychological health? “It turns out it’s the same,” he says.

In 2009 the US Army started rolling out a programme based on concepts developed at the University of Pennsylvania. The Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness programme, developed by the team led by Professor Martin Seligman, has been criticised by some psychologists. Although still running, YoungMcCaughan says the US Army’s approach is now more about going back to basics, focusing on the ‘performance triad’ of exercise, sleep and nutrition.

In fact, when it comes to treating depression and anxiety (and building resilience to stress) “exercise has as strong an effect as most medications, and has way fewer side-effects,” Stults-Kolehmainen says.

Exercise is something you might think soldiers would get plenty of, but it’s become a new focus for the US Army when it comes to resilience building. “We would never send a soldier into

But aren’t soldiers already supremely fit? When it comes to statistics on rates of obesity and being overweight, the US military actually doesn’t look much different to the general population, Young-McCaughan says. And there’s no compulsion for regular troops to engage in tough exercise programmes. She recently visited Fort Hood, a big US Army base in central Texas. “There were these large groups, jogging,” she says. “[They certainly weren’t] doing the workouts many of us do on our own.”

MERGING LOVE & MONEY

By Nancy Hecht CFP, AIF June is known as the marriage month. Having just gone through my daughter’s wedding, I know how much planning goes into the big event. We spent close to a year planning everything, as is typical for most couples. The question is, how much time does the new couple spend planning their financial future? Because my daughter is my daughter, merging their income and outflows started when they moved in together a good year before they were engaged but this is not the norm. Here are a few topics to discuss as you are merging your new lives: • Be clear on what each of you bring to the table.

• What debts do you have?

• Do you pay more than the minimums on those debts?

• How much have you saved and how much do your save from each paycheck?

• Be open and honest without judgement when learning how each of you have managed saving and spending prior to your merge.

• What are your financial goals?

• Discuss when you might like to buy a house and how much to save for a down payment as well as how you will pay your monthly household bills.

• Discuss how much you need for an emergency fund – this is an amount of money that will stay in a liquid account for emergencies.

Individual goals are ok too. It is important to be on the same page for the big items, but individual goals are important also. Each person should write a list of “yours,” “mine,” and “ours” goals, then compare the lists so you can focus on the differences.

As I approach my 33rd anniversary, I can say that we came together practicing some of these tips, but were not aware of all of them. We practice all of these tips now and have successfully merged love and marriage.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAW

FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT

FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS The deadline for filing income tax returns was April 15th. With a request for an extension of time plus payment of the taxes due, the return could be filed as late as October 15th. Those who failed to file the return or request an extension can face significant problems Failing to file the 2018 income tax return creates a problem that is magnified if returns have not been filed for several years. A perennial nonfiler faces significant civil penalties as well as an increase in the chance of being criminally prosecuted.

Civil penalties for failing to file a tax return are based upon the amount of tax that should have been revealed on the return and paid. There are several penalties that apply. If a return is not filed, the IRS charges a penalty of 5% per month of the amount of tax that should have been shown on the return, to a maximum of 25%. A penalty of .5% (1/2 of 1%) per month, up to a maximum of 25%, is also imposed for failure to pay the tax. The IRS may impose a fraud penalty for failure to file the income tax returns. The fraud penalty is 15% per month, to a maximum of 75%. The failure to pay penalty is imposed upon the unpaid portion of the tax. A person who failed to file and pay is also charged interest that is compounded daily.

While the increase in the amount collected by the IRS due to the additional penalties might be significant, a greater potential problem exists if the government decides to bring criminal charges. The crime of willfully failing to timely file tax returns and timely pay the tax is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison for each year that the tax return was willfully not filed. The IRS may also charge the crime of tax evasion for the willful failure to file returns and pay the taxes. Tax evasion is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison for each year. The difference between the misdemeanor crime of failure to file and the felony of tax evasion rests on the facts and circumstances of

each case as well as the discretion of the IRS, in conjunction with the Department of Justice attorneys handling the case.

I have observed many individuals who failed to file a tax return one year and thereafter were afraid to file tax returns. The chances of the IRS identifying a person who has not filed or paid tax, increases with time. The consequences of failing to file for multiple years not only results in large amounts of tax, interest, and penalties, but also the possibility of going to federal prison.

In addition to these serious consequences, the stress people endure because of the fear of being discovered by the IRS and facing prison time is severe.

We have been able to help people who have failed to file multiple yearly tax returns. The IRS has a Voluntary Disclosure Practice (VDP) which provides a mechanism for people to get straight with the IRS. The VDP provides a means to potentially avoid criminal prosecution.

There are limitations affecting the ability to take advantage of the VDP. One limitation is that if the IRS has opened a civil examination or criminal investigation, the VDP is not available.

There are additional factors which can prevent entry into the VDP. We have been able to help many people get straight with the IRS and avoid criminal prosecution. While the VDP requires submission of complete and accurate tax returns as well as payment (or a payment plan) of taxes, civil penalties and interest, the outcome is far better than living with the stress and fear of a criminal prosecution.

Prompt action is imperative and we welcome inquiries from those seeking our help in getting straight with the IRS.

CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE The Major Shift in Administrative Closure

The pendulum shift of immigration law swings relentlessly. Left, right, or otherwise, you will often find that with immigration law, justice is less blind and more fickle. One major shift occurred when former Attorney General (AG), Jeff Sessions determined that the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the Immigration Judge (IJ) lack the general authority to temporarily remove low priority cases from their docket; a procedural tool known as Administrative Closure (AC).

Under the former AC guidelines, judges had the authority to allow aliens reasonable opportunity to seek relief of being removed from the country outside of the court. This was a long standing process of court management essential to alleviating the overwhelming court back long. In addition to its practicality, Congress designed the immigration court to function like other Federal Courts under Article 3 of the Constitution; conduct proceedings, administer oaths, receive evidence, interrogate, examine and crossexamine any witness. Then based only on the evidence produced at the hearing, could the IJ decide whether an alien is removable from the United States. Similar to other appellate courts, Congress authorized the BIA to function as an appellate body for the purpose of reviewing the decisions of the IJ and matters directed to them by the AG. Additionally, Congress gave IJs and the BIA the authority to “decide the individual cases before them subject to the applicable governing standards,” and to “exercise their independent judgment and discretion to take any action appropriate and necessary for the disposition of matters before them”. Sessions’ opposition to interpreting Congress’ mandates in favor of the former AC guidelines is that it impedes

the “fair and efficient administration of immigration cases”. Sessions argues that AC under the former guidelines unduly benefits the alien and leaves the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with the burden of seeking to re-calendar the cases before the IJ. Sessions also pointed out that AC is easier to obtain under the former guidelines.

While immigration can certainly be a point of contention for many people, what is generally not debatable is that there are far more cases to litigate then that are courts to efficiently preside over them. Aliens find themselves in immigration court proceedings for various reasons and in increasing rate.

Thus it appears it ought to stand to reason that in the litigation of these cases, every reasonable resource and tool to the disposal of the court and officers thereof should be used to ensure that the administration of justice remains efficient and effective.

Inasmuch as administrative closure is unavailable, immigrants who originally had the opportunity to pursue lawful alternatives for relief of removal, find themselves in a disadvantage in litigating their cases.

This is due to the constraints of the court being unable to process every kind of available application, grant certain petitions, grant certain waivers or have jurisdiction over certain matters. It is incumbent on aliens to seek advice from an immigration attorney to assist them in obtaining alternatives to AC such as scheduling a subsequent hearing on the IJ’s calendar, motion to continue, motion to terminate, or filing for dismissal. In the meantime, we brace ourselves for the next time the pendulum swings, as it certainly will.

ORLANDO’S TOP INDIAN AMERICAN PROFESSIONALS 2019

By Beena M. Parikh, Ph.D. Indian Americans are proof that hard work

and determination still lead to success in America. They came here in the 1960’s from what was once a third world nation.

Over the coming decades, they assimilated into the fabric of the US as among the most educated, entrepreneurial, and skilled professionals. There has been increased visibility of Indian Americans on TV shows and commercials, Hollywood movies, as public servants, or even as authors and comedians.

American palates are more adventurous and crave diverse cuisines, including Indian food.

Indian Americans are about one percent of the US population and represent one of the most successful minority groups in the nation. Nearly half of all motels are owned

by Indian Americans and they account for one in every 20 doctors in the U.S. A study conducted by Duke University and UC Berkeley, documented that between 1995 and 2005, Indian immigrants founded more technology companies than immigrants from the U.K., China, Taiwan and Japan combined. In Florida, there are nearly 125,000 Indian immigrants locally in Orange and surrounding counties; they number around 25,000.

But who are they really? They are your doctors and nurses, hotel/motel owners, retail shop and convenience store owners, IT specialists, restaurateurs, dancers, musicians, authors, and public servants. They are Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and many other religions.

Visitors to India will encounter a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, colors, and tastes that will amaze and may even stun your senses a bit.

That same kaleidoscope is available here in Central Florida! Stop in at the Enzian Theater (Maitland) in the early fall and watch the South Asian Film Festival, visit one of the many temples and feel the energy of 5,000 years of spirituality, go to one of the many Indian restaurants and begin a culinary journey to India, or catch an Orlando Magic game and be a part of the India Day celebration and immerse yourself in all things Indian.

One important thing to know about Indians is that their culture is also their way of life. One of their most important tenets is that of seva, which is the Hindi word for service. Regardless of education, age, wealth or position, they are EXPECTED to perform community service in some capacity or another. Many Indian Americans take philanthropic and charitable activities very seriously too. Not only do they help their families and communities in India, they also

O R L A N D O ’ S

INDIAN

get involved in their local communities. In our melting pot nation, Indian Americans have captured the hearts of their neighbors by not just assimilating, but by celebrating a culture that’s halfway around the world and sharing it with you. So, next time you meet an Indian, ask them questions; they will be glad to share their beautiful culture with you.

And who knows, you might be invited to a great meal or learn some awesome dance moves.

Our mission at Orlando Style Magazine is to bring visibility to professionals who exhibit excellence, integrity, client service and high standards that have made them preeminent and highly successful.

Orlando’s Top Indian American Professionals are selected based on survey, referrals and feedback from their professional peers. This is an ongoing campaign and we ask you to cast your vote/ suggestion for your favorite professional in our city at OrlandoStyleMagazine.com.

Vishant Dave Functional Strength Training Vishant Dave wants you to “stop exercising & start training.” A fitness professional with more than 12 years of training and coaching experience, Vishant has worked with a wide range of clients from business professionals to home makers, from youth groups to high school athletes.

“The goal is simple, have each client move well, feel good and look aesthetically how they would like.”

At V Fit Training the core belief is that “being strong is a choice.” I empower all of my clients to strive for their best and I specialize in functional full body fitness. “Empowering a client to be their best both physically and mentally is my intention.” - Vishant Dave My belief is that a client’s training should have a carry-over effect into their everyday life. A client’s program will cover the seven general motor programs, which are: Squat, Lunge, Bend, Push, Pull, Twist and Gait. The goal with each client is to keep them safe, make them stronger and have fun during the process.

“I firmly believe that fitness is the ultimate life equalizer. Meaning, if a person truly decides to take their fitness on and improve it then their age, gender, background, financial situation etc does not matter. A person cannot buy the fitness results that they want nor can they achieve them by simply wishing for them. However, they can be achieved through hard work, dedication and perseverance. I also believe that each of us has full control over two things in life: how much we choose to move our bodies and what we eat & drink. I share this with my clients so they are empowered in their fitness & health journey.”

Vishant is the son of Suryakant & Vibha Dave both of Indian decent.

He was born in the Untied Kingdom and moved to the United States in his youth. He graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Finance degree and worked in Corporate America for 14 years before leaving to peruse fitness fulltime. Vishant is a member of the Indian American Chamber of Commerce. A large portion of his client base involves training with the Indian community. “To be able to connect with my Indian community and share with them the benefits of living a fit and healthy life is very rewarding.” When Vishant is not training clients, you can find him spending time with his lovely wife and two sons. They enjoy outdoor activities, playing sports, exploring new places and having family movie nights.

Kashmira Bhavsar Bhavsar Law Group, P.A.

Celebrating 20+ years of practicing law, Kashmira Bhavsar is the managing attorney with Bhavsar Law Group, P.A. Her practice is limited to Immigration and Real Estate Law. She is 1 of only 74 lawyers to be Board Certified in Immigration and Nationality Law by the Florida Bar—less than 1% of all lawyers in the State! In addition, Ms. Bhavsar is an active member of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), where she has held numerous Board positions with the Central Florida chapter, has been recognized by the chapter with the Outstanding Contribution Award, and has advocated for immigration reform for several years at AILA’s National Day of Action in Washington, D.C. Ms. Bhavsar represents families, businesses, and investors from around the world to immigrate and contribute to the United States. The firm also provides real estate services from contract to closing, providing title insurance, escrow and closing services to residential clients, lenders, developers, and real estate professionals.

Her passion and journey towards immigration law is personal. Ms. Bhavsar was born in India but raised in the United States. She migrated with her family to New York City when she was only 1, until moving to Orlando at age 6. As Ms. Bhavsar recalls: “My family moved to Orlando because my father accepted an engineering position at Martin Marietta, now Lockheed Martin.

Having moved from New York City, it was a very different place, even as a child.” She remembers almost no one else looked like her—she was either the only or one of a few Indian Americans throughout her tenure in public school. Her parents knew the importance of assimilating in the American culture, but also equally important for their children to maintain and appreciate their Indian culture and Gujarati dialect. Thus, during the 1980s, her parents, I.C. and Pushpa Bhavsar, along with other families, founded an informal cultural organization, now called the Gujarati Society of Central Florida. Families would gather frequently to celebrate Indian holidays like Navrati and Diwali, as well as to watch Indian movies, share Indian food, and have picnics. Back then, there were literally 20 families in the Orlando area, thus, all of the events were organized by the parents to enjoy and share their Indian heritage/culture with their children.

Today, Ms. Bhavsar is married, with two young children of her own. “As a parent, it is equally important to me to expose my children to Indian culture, language, and the Hindu religion; but much easier now for me, than it was for my parents.” Her daughters have other Indian Americans in their classes at school. “Our community has grown tremendously. We now have strong ties with the local governments, successful professional organizations, and robust cultural organizations; invaluable educational programs for our young children, numerous Hindu temples, Indian restaurants, Bollywood dance studios, and movie theatres playing Indian movies.”

Kashmira Bhavsar is a proud American, who is blessed to have been exposed to both the American and Indian cultures; and it is her personal mission to help more immigrants live the “American Dream.”

Hetal Engineer National SBA Sales Manager

Hetal Engineer has made a name for himself as “The SBA Specialist” in Central Florida during his 26 years in Banking and 22 years concentrating on small business lending. Hetal has strived to champion the cause of the small business owner and minority entrepreneur to source vital capital for their business. He has provided over $200 million in small business loan funding to help businesses acquire funds for business start-ups, franchise lending, business acquisition, real estate acquisition, construction lending and professional practice financing.

“The ability to help small business owners achieve their dreams and provide a future for their family and extended employee families continues to be the most rewarding part of my career.”

“I have known and worked with Hetal Engineer for over twenty years. During this time, I have come to know him as a constant advocate on behalf of small businesses. Whether as a lender’s business development officer, team leader or sales manager for small to large lending institutions alike, Hetal works tirelessly to provide small businesses access to capital and financial opportunities.

Hetal exemplifies all the attributes of a successful leader and is the consummate professional. He is honest, hard-working, loyal and generous with his time. In addition to the time devoted to his career, for years he has also generously volunteered his time. Of particular note is his service as a Member of the Board of Directors, and Officer, of Florida’s Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders – an organization dedicated to providing networking, education and awareness of all lending programs to the small business community throughout Florida. On a personal note, Hetal is an individual of impeccable character and integrity as well as a loving and dedicated family man.” - Victor Diaz, Attorney

Hetal has held various positions in small, regional and national banks where he has championed the needs of the small business entrepreneur.

Hetal’s experience and success has lead him to his current position as National SBA Sales Manager for The Bancorp, an SBA Preferred Lender.

His position as a Player/Coach provides him the ability to continue assisting small business owners while also mentoring his national sales team to strive to provide the best service and opportunity for small business owners. While Hetal prides himself on being a generalist lender he has gained expertise in hospitality lending, professional practice, senior care, childcare and franchise lending.

Hetal’s family is of Indian descent; he was born and lived his first seven years in Lusaka, Zambia. His parents decided to leave their comfortable life to begin a new journey in the United States in 1977 primarily for the education and opportunity provided for their children. The family worked hard and put in the time for all three children to have the best opportunities in education and

careers. Hetal obtained his Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Master’s in Business Administration with a Concentration in Finance from the University of Central Florida. Hetal was recruited on UCF campus by a regional bank to work through an intense management associate program and eventually grew through the ranks in commercial banking. Hetal realized as his career progressed that many small business owners, especially minorities, were left behind in securing well needed funding for their businesses. In 1997 Hetal decided to concentrate on the Small Business Administration (SBA) lending programs as he realized this was the best vehicle to help the growing central Florida small business environment.

Hetal always wanted to give back to the community and has been involved in local organizations such as Indian American Chamber where he served as prior Board Member, Florida Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders (FLAGGL) served as Treasurer and Board Member. He enjoys volunteering for various local and national causes and serves on the newly established Internal Diversity and Inclusion Council for The Bancorp, and on the Bank’s Community Engagement Task Force Group.

During his leisure time Hetal enjoys spending time with his wife, Madhavi, and two daughters Myna (19) and Anya (13). As a family they enjoy volunteering, attending community events, finding new foodie spots, traveling, and playing golf. “It’s those unique memories we make out of the office that impact my life the most and provide me the energy and balance to continue working for the small business person.” Hetal Engineer can be reached at 407-758-3926 or hengineer@thebancorp.com.

Morrone, you get a sense of the fun and stylish aesthetic that she approaches each project with and it’s easy to see why she has become one of the most in-demand designers in Central Florida. Audrey is approachable and strongly believes that building client relationships through exceptional service is as essential as the innovative designs she creates. Sophisticated taste, flawless execution, and her ability to understand her client’s unique needs and desires set her apart from other designers. Whether it’s traditional or modern design, Audrey and the

Morrone Interiors team utilize cutting-edge technology to provide conceptual drawings and previews that allow a client to see and adjust, in real time, how their space will look and feel.

Last year, Audrey took home multiple awards including being voted by readers of Orlando Magazine to be the number one interior design firm in Orlando. She won the First Place Award for Design Remodel with the Greater Orlando Builders Association, as well as the Grand Prize in Design Speciality for her project 1520, which also happens to be her personal residence. She

then went on to win the Major Achievement Award in Design, from the Greater Orlando Builders Association.

When asked, “What drives you to be the best?”, Audrey answered, “Passion; creating beautiful spaces for my clients that will house so many memories. Every client that I work with is unique, so their home should reflect that. I really love what I do and I feel that it shows in our designs.”
