Brazil becomes the most attractive emerging market for 2019

0
0

With an election of the new president of Brazil, everything changed in the country’s economy.

Brazil’s new president, Jair Bolsonaro, was sworn in on January He won a landslide election in October on a platform that’s pro-business, pro-gun, pro-United States, and pro-Israel. At the same time, his platform was also anti-crime, anti-political correctness, anti-Cuba, and anti-Venezuela.

Incoming Economy Minister Paulo Guedes said, he vowed to leash the bureaucracy, unfetter trade, simplify taxes and privatize government companies. Most encouragingly, he named social security as the most urgent reform, and not just for the red ink generated by Brazil’s indulgent pensions. “Social security is an inequality factory,” Guedes said.

This was samba to the ears of investors, many of whom might have wondered how a career legislator like Bolsonaro, with a soft spot for big statism, could morph into the market’s best friend. Indeed, doubts abound over details of the new pension plan, for which Guedes, a free marketer, prescribes a more thorough overhauling than his boss. Global political leaders and financial mandarins will be eager to hear how Bolsonaro means to sort out this and other contentious points of plans for a “new Brazil” at the World Economic Forum in Davos later this month.

Now Guedes and a team of orthodox economists he has dubbed the “Chicago Oldies” hope to emulate the Chilean economic experience on a far larger scale in the world’s eighth-largest economy.

Brazil’s new right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro, who was sworn in on Tuesday, has given Guedes free rein to apply market-oriented policies to restore growth and confidence in an economy stifled by taxes, bureaucracy and corruption.

Yet Brazil’s currency, the real, has climbed in recent weeks as many investors see the ideologically coherent team assembled by Guedes — dubbed the “dream team” by some market observers — tackling the persistently high cost of doing business in Brazil, which has deterred foreign investment.

“It is a real good mix of people who share his view of things, including economists who have the same very liberal world view of the University of Chicago and old friends he trusts,” said UBS economist Tony Volpon.

“Investors have given Brazil a lot of time to put its house in order. With an elected government and a new economy minister who is committed to pension reform, there are no more excuses. They need to deliver,” Volpon said.

Economist Roberto Castello Branco took over on Thursday as the new chief executive of Petroleo Brasileiro SA, the heavily indebted state-run oil company that stood at the epicenter of global largest corruption scandal.

Bolsonaro, meeting US secretary of state Mike Pompeo in Brasilia, said that the tendency for Brazil “to elect presidents that, for some reason, were enemies” of the US was over and now “it is just the opposite: we are friends”. Pompeo responded that the US president “is very pleased with the relationship that our two countries are on the precipice of beginning to develop”.

Pompeo also told new Brazilian foreign minister Ernesto Araújo that the affinity between the US president and Bolsonaro “creates a truly transformative opportunity for our two nations”, especially in terms of economic and security co-operation.

Bolsonaro disse: “Eu gostaria muito de compensar cada vez mais a distância que o Brasil manteve dos EUA no passado.

The glowing mutual appraisals came a day after Bolsonaro was sworn in as Brazil’s new leader for the next four years. The  former army captain — an avid user of social media and avowed enemy of “political correctness”, who has a record of making misogynist and racist comments — used his first presidential speech to pledge a fierce combat against crime, corruption and left-wing “ideology”.

China’s position as Brazil’s biggest trade partner and foreign investor could also be affected. While campaigning for the presidency, Bolsonaro complained that “China is buying Brazil” and suggested he move to restrict the Asian powerhouse’s access to privatisations he is planning.

Pompeo, in his meeting with Araújo, did not mention China by name, but clearly pointed to that country as he contrasted the fresh opportunities the US could now bring to Brazil.

The banker and Brazilian investor Wesley Ribeiro points out the best moment for the exchange of trade between Brazil and the United States and investments in the emerging country.

Wesley founded a private chamber of commerce to take advantage of and approaching the Brazilian government and the greater expansion of Brazilian business in the American market.

Wesley said “Bolsonaro will follow the example of the great work of the the US administration and become Brazil in the next 4 years.”

The US president, he said, is seeking “real opportunity, that is fair, that is reciprocal, that is conducted transparently — not the same model that is used by some other countries in the world… from others who want to come to a country and make an investment not for commercial reasons but for political reasons.”

Araújo hailed the new relationship being struck with America, saying “a much more intense association between Brazil and the US” was going to be built.

Nikki Haley, former US ambassador to the UN, tweeted: “It’s great to have another US-friendly leader in South America, who will join the fights against dictatorships in Venezuela and Cuba, and who clearly understands the danger of China’s expanding influence in the region.”

Ace Hardy starts the year with Music Video “Bring Life”

0

Ace Hardy does it again as he starts off the year with a meaningful song to go along with a beautiful music video. The song and the concept of the music video brings appreciation to women being the ones to bring life to the world, and in turn calling them “Gods”. 

Ace Hardy strongly believes that everyone should be empowered as we are all capable of doing great things in life, but in regards to women, Ace Hardy believes that they must be acknowledged in a way that is highly respected, just as much as men’s accomplishments and endeavors has been acknowledged in time.

Ace Hardy has mentioned on his social media accounts and I quote that “Throughout history, women has faced and endured many experiences that proved their strength to be just as powerful as a mans, if not more. In ancient times, it was common for women to be slaves, warriors, hunter gatheres, and in some societies political leaders and rulers. The further we go back in time, the less equality women had. Not long ago, women weren’t allowed to vote, and were seen as inferior to men, and still to this day there’s sexism and a fight for equality. I fail to understand why, because women are the very essence of life itself. I could not even imagine the experiences women face giving child birth, it takes true willpower and strength to manage that, and only a women is capable of such a thing. I’ve also read articles stating that scientist has been conducting stem cell research for well over a decade in regards to sperm reproduction through bone marrow, maybe one day us men will be inessential, and later forsaken. Lol, I just want to tell all the strong women out there that I truly appreciate you, and that I also understand the struggles you face in life. You all live in completely different worlds than us men, and it takes strength to live it through. Peace and blessings to all of you.” – Ace Hardy

Ace Hardy’s music video named “Bring Life” has some interesting themes along the scenes. All scenes are bright and vivid to match with the “God Like” concept relative to the lyrics. This is a great way to start off the year of 2019, Ace Hardy’s appreciation for women could not be anymore clear, as they are the very essence to life itself. Do you agree with Ace that women are Gods?

HLDC - Empower The Health Industry And Reshape The Value Distribution Channels

Health is the foundation of human survival and development. It is not only related to the quality of life of the people, but also related to national security and social stability. With the development of social economy and medical technology, the national health level of different countries has improved, but it is more about the monopoly of health information data, which leads to the health inequality within and between countries. At present, the health of the world has been at the heart of human development, and the world health organization has urged to reduce the health differences between different populations, different regions of the country, and have a healthy level of health as one of the major social goals of all governments.

Combined with the trend in the world, and establish personal health data archive, promote the circulation of health data, ensure the safety of health data information is imperative. However, the traditional way of recording is based on the Internet model, which USES the centralized cloud data platform to build and record personal health data. This mode of personal health data, there were leaked to the risk of tampering, and centralized enterprises occupy a large amount of personal data and information, closed refuse data flow to each other, cause health data cannot be Shared, a data island.

The great health cycle data chain HLDC has the perfect solution to these problems, and HLDC USES the great health cycle data chain, using the blockchain technology, using the central architecture of the blockchain technology, using a distributed bookkeeping method, using the feature of the distributed bookkeeping, the ability to go back, to prevent tampering and the anonymity of security, to increase the efficiency of the trust transfer, which is to build a trust, which is in the context of an asymmetric, uncertain environment, to create the “trust” ecosystem that has been created and developed, so that it’s safe to avoid the risk of safety.

HLDC is based on block chain, artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of things and other technologies to realize intelligent big value chain. HLDC protocol is composed of four modules: security, authentication, intelligent network, data storage. HLDC connects medical institutions, insurance companies, large institutions, large technical service companies, users, doctors… Every participant in the chain can create value, contribute value, and share value.

Business logic for HLDC

HLDC based on block chain, artificial intelligence technology, intelligent building big health value chain, digital data created by the user signs blocks, life bank of big health data storage, safety chain members and organizations to develop data value and participate in trading, a variety of intelligent diagnosis module parse block digital and intelligent diagnosis. Starting from the big data end, HLDC designs products around the key issues of big data security, sharing and use, breaks through the data barriers between big electronic medical records, big apps and big devices of the Internet of things, connects smart big platforms, mutual insurance platforms and offline institutions, and provides services for the data demand-side in the big health ecosystem, such as maternal and infant, patients, doctors, hospitals, technical service providers, insurance companies, gene companies and health management institutions. In the future, HLDC will provide a complete set of big health service solutions with blockchain and artificial intelligence as the core underlying technologies for the big health industry.

The HLDC proposes the block digital person, life bank. The block digit person is a comprehensive digitization of the individual’s vital signs. By means of wearable devices, intelligent hardware, sensors and other devices, human physical characteristics data are continuously uploaded to HLDC to form a digital mapping object of user ontology in the network, making quantitative health management possible. The HLDC network will be able to analyze the real-time data, and it will be able to detect the anomalies in time to prevent the risk of unknown disease. Life bank is the secure storage and open trading place of HLDC’s big data. Due to homomorphic encryption, differential privacy (DP) and other encryption technologies, users’ big health data can be safely stored in HLDC distributed network, which can be traced permanently and can never be tampered. Users who upload data will get token, while buying a big health service will consume token.

HLDC business value

In the era of big data, there is a flood of data, and the disordered and irregular data is worthless. How to sort out and refine data in the vast ocean of data to make it valuable data? It’s also why HLDC has built a chain of life-cycle data on the block chain. Everyone’s health data file is also valuable, given value, it should be reflected in the form of digital currency, namely block chain + big data to build the business value.

In other words, all participants are able to create and share the value of HLDC. Each person contributes data and resources to HLDC while using the platform, and gets the benefits they deserve.

Data, which is the foundation of HLDC operation, users upload real-time data to HLDC cloud through sensors, intelligent hardware, and large devices, and data on HLDC is safely encrypted by differential privacy technology for storage, resolution and circulation.

Token, which is an equity certificate in HLDC network. Users who upload and share data will get token, and it needs LITtoken to buy insurance, disease diagnosis, health assistant and real-time health condition warning service. Token is needed as an economic means for big institutions to use big data r&d or HLDC platform resources.

The core of HLDC is the big health data platform, which is connected with many modules such as image diagnosis, document recognition and ecg monitoring for users to choose and use.

HLDC applications and landing apps

As a public chain of big health, HLDC will become the cornerstone of the public chain of big health industry and constantly improve and expand relevant ecology. In application scenarios, HLDC can generate personal health reports, provide instant and traceable medical clinical trial records and reports, build a big Internet of things for network safety and health, conduct big insurance for smart contracts on the chain, and connect government agencies to complete data decision-making. At the same time, the HLDC public service will build a series of dapps based on the great health, such as maternal and infant services, fitness and leisure, and rehabilitation, and social services, to build the HLDC health and ecological chain, and to fulfill the health of the great health industry.

The end

The advent of the great health cycle data chain, HLDC, will reshape the workings of the big health industry and the distribution of value, bringing in a more cutting-edge, healthy data one-stop solution, which allows the development of the great health industry to develop a higher quality of data, so that everyone can have a healthier life!

Cuddle Connect Provides Healthy Human Touch to Rejuvenate the Mind, Body and Spirit

The services at Cuddle Connect are alleviating a lack of human contact, one cuddle at a time.

Washington D.C, USA – January 16, 2019 – The digital age has given people the ability to connect with anyone around the world in seconds, but that same technology is disrupting essential human-to-human contact that individuals need for mental and physical well-being. Cuddle Connect is helping people physically, mentally and socially through the power of human touch.

“Even with the ability to reach millions, people are more lonely and disconnected from others than ever before,” said Raj Veer, CEO of Cuddle Connect. “Studies have discovered that loneliness is a serious health problem and has reached epidemic proportions. At Cuddle Connect, we’re helping people address the problem with commitment-free human touch for their health and wellness.”

Cuddle Connect provides a critical service and is helping to break down archaic beliefs and restrictions about touch, while relieving the loneliness and isolation that has robbed people of the touch they need and crave in a digital era. The online platform is accessible via mobile apps for Android and iOS operating systems.

The service provides individuals with platonic cuddles, hugs and simple human touch that have been scientifically proven to relive loneliness, anxiety and depression.  Cuddle Connect isn’t a dating or hook-up service. Staff is comprised of professionals and enthusiastic amateurs with a desire to help others and that adhere to a code of ethics.

Those in need of physical and social contact have complete control over how and where they’re touched. There’s no commitment of friendship or other bond required. Individuals can benefit from a session of massage, hugging, cuddling, caressing, or simply holding hands.

Cuddle Connect provides touch benefits to adults similar to those that have been used for decades in therapeutic environments. Individuals can choose the gender of their cuddle buddy and all sessions are conducted privately. The cuddle service offers an ideal solution for those that don’t want a sexual or committed relationship or that have recently ended a relationship.

When a person receives a hug or cuddles, it boosts the production of hormones that reduces blood pressure, boosts the immune system, and relieves stress that can lead to chronic health problems. Individuals that receive healthy physical contact with others also show improved mental clarity and cognitive function, along with more restful and restorative sleep.

With Cuddle Connect, anyone can avail themselves of the positive benefits of friendly human touch in a commitment free environment. The art and advantages of touch for the mind, body and spirit have been known since ancient times and with the company’s apps, can be accessed easily whenever needed.

Will Guest-Room Telephones Ever Be Replaced?

0
0

Digital personal assistants, like Amazon’s Echo, are gaining popularity in guest-rooms but will they ever replace the guest-room telephone? Many phone experts say they won’t, but the technology is definitely changing the evolution of the phone.

“Imagine walking into a hotel room that had no phone,” said Chad Collins, VP of sales, Americas for VTech Communications. “While millennials and gen X guests are quite comfortable with emerging technologies and may not notice, the baby boomers and [the general public] are generally more comfortable with technologies that they are familiar with (i.e. guest-room telephone) and would consider it a failure to not have a phone in their rooms. This will remain the case for many years.”

To some extent, the hotel room is intended to include selected products and services that consumers already use in the home, so the adoption of speech-enabled devices in the guestroom likely will follow the pattern of adoption by homeowners, said John Grubb, SVP of marketing for Cetis. “The perceived security risk of speech-enabled devices, however, is currently a stumbling block for some consumers at this time, so hoteliers will also proceed at their own risk with decisions to replace the security and dependability of existing landline phones in the room.”

Security is a primary concern. By contrast, present-day landline phones have a proven record of reliability, Grubb said. They serve as an emergency lifeline for guests, whether the phones are installed in the guest room, lobby, common area or pool. In fact, a phone plugged into an RJ11/RJ14/RJ45 jack inside the guestroom or common area is a more reliable guest emergency location device than a mobile phone. Why?

More guestroom phones will be enabled with voice controls or the ability to interact with guestroom voice assistance devices.

“Because the traditional phone identifies the exact location of the guest for emergency responders, rather than just an estimate of location available with mobile network and Wi-Fi devices,” he said. “Emergency phones, as well as standard room phones equipped with dedicated SOS or guest-service keys may be programmed through the hotel [private branch exchange] phone system to direct-dial 911 or a selected emergency number located on the hotel property.”

Since guests are primarily using guestroom phones to communicate with hotel staff, the interaction with the phone can change with an Alexa in the room, said Joe Zhang, president of Bittel Americas. While Zhang doesn’t believe the landline will ever be replaced due to life-safety issues, he does believe guests will be using Alexa for common things like contacting room service and the front desk.

Bittel recently introduced a new phone that is moving toward guestroom digital assistants: a sleek, handset-less phone. “When you get rid of the handset, you change the design of the phone completely,” Zhang said. “We’re taking a modular approach in the design. We’re not aiming to compete with Alexa, but those devices complement what we’re doing.”

The technology that improves the guestroom phone likely will replace the telephone with an Alexa/Siri-like device that will be used to meet guest service requests by voice-without picking up the phone, according to Phonesuite President Frank Melville.

“We believe they will be replaced by these devices, over time of course,” Melville said. “We need to meet the needs and expectations of the entire traveling public so until virtually all travelers are comfortable with making requests to an [artificial-intelligence]-based voice-response device, the phone will likely remain present.”

How soon will this be? “Not sooner than five years, probably not more than 10,” he said.

Over time, emerging technologies will incorporate and partially replace some functionalities of the guestroom telephone. When that time comes, hotels will start to adopt devices that contain all technologies in one spot, Collins said. “Having said that, let’s not forget there are still 5 million hotel rooms in the U.S. with existing phones that would need to be replaced,” he said. “Some hotels will be on the front end of throwing out the phone for a new technology, but others will be slow to adopt. This will in great part be driven by guest preferences and demands, and generationally there are still millions of travelers who expect a phone in their room.”

While voice over internet protocol is not new to hospitality, it is becoming more used in hotels. In some form or fashion, be it the entire hotel or only the administration areas or back-of-the-house via IP private-branch-exchange systems or cloud-based systems, VoIP is used by the majority of new-build hotels today, said Collins. “The installed base is also switching to IP-based systems when their legacy analog/digital PBX has reached the end of its life,” he said.

The primary driver of VoIP is cost savings, Zhang said. “Whether using cloud-based PBX or on-premises PBX, hotels are saving on cabling costs,” he said.

The adoption pattern of VoIP within hospitality continues to lag behind the general business marketplace, Grubb said. “With the advent of new secure cloud hospitality phone systems and devices that project Ethernet and power four to six times the reach of traditional switches, VoIP telephony is positioned to grow while supporting devices and applications at farther distances and helping save on infrastructure costs,” he continued.

While most current new construction, as well as replacement phone systems, are VoIP based, the majority still feature analog interfaces to the guestroom, according to Melville. “Nearly 90 percent of the systems we ship and install are still analog to the guestroom even though the system itself is VoIP,” he said.

For hotels that prefer a traditional analog hotel phone, analog telephone adapters connect traditional analog landline phones to an internet router or modem, allowing the hotel to connect via the internet to achieve similar VoIP networking advantages.

But since VoIP requires one cable to each room, that doesn’t always save the hotel as much as they would like, Zhang said. The hotel uses that one cable for data, phone, television or other necessary items. “The location of the cable isn’t selected based on the phone-it’s often into the closet or under the desk,” Zhang said. “It’s prioritized to the data side of the guestroom while the phone is often on the nightstand.”

Hotels often then run a second cable from the primary cable to allow the phone to be located on the nightstand. But with newer-model telephones, they don’t need that cable directly to the phone, wherever in the room it is, Zhang said.

We asked the telephone experts what they believe the top five must-have features that hoteliers should look for in a hotel phone system. While the answers varied, there will some universal themes that they believe would make life easier for the guest and the hotel.

The company has acquired a 400-acre farm parcel in Colorado to further expand their CBD-rich hemp biomass production quotas. Their current facility produces hand-shucked hemp biomass as well as one-thousand high-CBD hemp clones per day. IHF LLC is looking to expand this production ability in the future.

Industrial Hemp Farms and CEO Augustine Hanger are pleased to announce that they will soon expand to become one of the leading high-CBD hemp farming and wholesale companies in Colorado Springs. IHF LLC has quickly grown in 2018 and will be expanding further into 2019.

IHF LLC is quickly becoming one of the top CBD hemp farming companies and offers a large range of CBD/hemp-based B2B/B2C services. These services include: hemp biomass purchasing and selling, CBD extraction, wholesale hemp clones, wholesale hemp seeds, wholesale distillate, isolate and crude, CBD extraction and processing, hemp farm consulting, hemp futures contracts and more.

The most recent acquisition by the firm is a 400-acre farm in Colorado to increase the production of CBD rich hemp biomass. The newly acquired land has pivot irrigation with four circles located in the Colorado Springs area.

A purchase of hemp biomass from IHF LLC utilizes their experience and volume to handle any capacity very quickly. There is no doubt but that the hemp industry is booming and IHF LLC is not waiting around.

A spokesperson for the firm explained to an interviewer, “We are excited about our most recent 400-acre hemp farm expansion. IHF LLC is quickly becoming a local hemp producer in our area. Our clients, both farmers and buyers, have enjoyed doing business with us due to our professionalism and expertise.

The CNN Freedom Project, coupled with the Mosaic Federation (MOSFED), is running towards stopping human trafficking

New York, NY – Drew E. Schaefer is an effectively known executive in the NY Metropolitan area and an investor from New York. He is a proud member of the Mosaic Foundation advisory board and a significant monetary sponsor. He is committed to assisting to sustain them. Drew has actually likewise embarked on a special mission to provide technological support for the platform technology of the “joint venture”.

When Mr. Schaefer first learnt more about the CNN Freedom Project and the various strategies the Mosaic Federation has implemented to remove the trafficking of people, he leapt in practically immediately. Having ascertained the project needs through his participation at the United Nations Global Sustainability Network (GSN) conference, he decided to help meet its objectives.

He considers the removal of human slavery worldwide to be unquestionably essential; due to the reality that upwards of 20 million individuals live as slaves. It is disrupting to think that a human can perhaps be offered, on average, for roughly $90. Detailed management of this process need to be pursued to actualize favorable results.

A three-pronged strategy has been put in place by the Mosaic Federation to end human slavery concentrating on (1) Using dominant media outlets, like CNN to provide civil service announcements; (2) Geo-spatial Software or expert system (A.I.) that allows users, like victims of human trafficking or social justice activists, to find “locations of human trafficking” in almost real time satellite images; and (3) International police resources to serve as intermediary in between police and government improving cooperation and interaction.

Human trafficking “hot spots” can now be identified because of current developments in A.I. providing satellite images of the actual whereabouts of people being held as slaves. Software programs, such as ARTEMIS, aim to improve locating and predicting human trafficking sites. Former victims of slavery can now use such programs to provide valuable intelligence, such as any predictable activities – thereby empowering victims and making them a part of the solution to eradicate human trafficking.

Government and law enforcement liaison programs are another essential aspect to attaining zero human slavery. By training law enforcement on the various programs and resources available to them, it will help advance in lowering the number of people taken into slavery and human trafficking.

When crimes, such as human trafficking are committed across international borders the Mosaic Federations network of worldwide resources for law enforcement helps in bypassing government bureaucracy which allows for cross-border law enforcement communication and cooperation.

Human trafficking “hot spots” can now be identified because of current developments in A.I. providing satellite images of the actual whereabouts of people being held as slaves. Software programs, such as ARTEMIS, aim to improve locating and predicting human trafficking sites. Former victims of slavery can now use such programs to provide valuable intelligence, such as any predictable activities – thereby empowering victims and making them a part of the solution to eradicate human trafficking.

Drew E. Schaefer, a former CEO of Liberty Helicopters & Americorp Securities has used his personal resources and time to become one of the leading supporters in NYC & NJ area of the Mosaic Federation.

Loro Parque Fundacion contributes to the successful recovery of the Yellow-eared Parrot in Colombia

0

Tenerife, Spain – 18 January, 2019 – The population of these endangered birds in the wild has multiplied and reached record numbers thanks to the financial support of the Foundation and the key intervention of the Vatican.

Although more than 8,000 kilometres separate the Canary Islands from Colombia, the Yellow-eared Parrot has a vital link with the Archipelago: the conservation work carried out by Loro Parque Foundation to protect the species, which has contributed to its successful recovery.

The participation of the Foundation in the project to save the Yellow-eared Parrot, together with the ProAves Foundation of Colombia, has been fundamental in the achievement that today the wild population of these birds has multiplied and has reached record numbers. The story that has marked their survival began in the mid-1990s, when the Loro Parque Foundation supported the protection of the last 20 birds in Ecuador. In 1988 they had disappeared and it was feared that the species had become completely extinct; however, in the same year the Ognorhynchus project began with the aim of ensuring the survival of the species and its habitat in the Colombian Andes.

After a year-long search, a population of 81 individuals was found in the central Andes, in the community of Roncesvalles, whilst in January 2001 a second population of 63 individuals appeared in the foothills of the western Andes in Jardín, in the Department of Antioquia. In the years since the collaboration began, the Foundation has been the principal architect of an initiative that may become the most successful in all of South America. And, in fact, such has been the recovery rate that in 2010 the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reduced the Yellow-eared Parrot’s threat category from ‘critically endangered’ to ‘endangered’.

This animal has a close relationship with wax palms, Colombia’s national tree, also threatened by cattle grazing and by its indiscriminate use in the celebration of Palm Sunday. Years of research into habitat use, diet, distribution, and reproductive behaviour have provided a solid foundation on the threats to the species and the wax palm, thus enabling a global conservation action plan.

Among the different initiatives implemented within the framework of this project, they were also able to count on the collaboration of the Vatican. In spite of the roots of this religious tradition, the close collaboration of the Church and a good educational programme have made it possible for everyone to use other alternatives today.

Singapore – Roger Elias of RES Design is pleased to announce that INSURED is now live on Kickstarter!

Kickstarter Campaign Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1586581302/insured-the-survival-based-board-game

Before we move on to the 3 reasons to why INSURED is a must get, here is a question he would like you to ponder.

“If you were taught that preparation is one of the key values to success, how much of importance will you want to have it instilled in you?”

Here are 3 reasons to why INSURED is a must get:

1. INSURED inspires you to discern the times and stay strengthened and fortified for any eventuality.

It creates real-life situations where you would face great adversity and also meet sudden opportunities, and through them, you learn to thrive. You will understand the importance of being insured.

2. INSURED sharpens your decision-making skills.

Every decision you make will not only affect you but also everyone around you. Through the game, you will discover the real you as well as develop sound strategies to succeed in real life.

3. INSURED teaches you “Nothing is guaranteed till it is certain”.

In INSURED, no matter how close you are to winning, there is always a chance that you might be further away from your goal. Despite your best of efforts to win, you might find yourself annihilated. Thus, the player will have to learn how to manage their own expectations to fail forward by persevering on.

“To rely on rustics and not prepare is the greatest of crimes; to be prepared beforehand for any contingency is the greatest of virtues.” – Sun Tzu

With that, INSURED is for ages 10+, so what a better way to instill values that can only improve your situation with a game that is for 3-8 players? With the objective of creating bonding time with family or amongst friends at any place and at any time, INSURED has been designed to be portable With your help, you can bring INSURED to reality by pledging for a box now on Kickstarter.

Filmmaker / Actress ANGELA MATEMOTJA Named ‘Best Director’ at London’s 2019 Rainbow Umbrella Film Festival for Debut Feature ‘ELEVATE’

Next Film Heads to Rapid Lion: The South African Int’l Film Festival in Johannesburg
Filmmaker/Actress ANGELA MATEMOTJA

LOS ANGELES – Award-winning filmmaker and actress Angela Matemotja earns ‘Best Director’ award for her feature film debut, ELEVATE, at the Rainbow Umbrella Film Festival, a new LGBTQ focused event in North London, U.K.

Writing, directing and starring in ELEVATE, Matemotja delivers a drama of intertwining stories about people who must fight to overcome their struggles with homophobia, food addiction and racism. Matemotja shares, “winning Best Director from an emerging LGBTQ festival is an honor. The fact that it screened in London really warms my heart, as I lived there years ago and fell in love with the city.”

ELEVATE will continue on the international circuit this March as an ‘Official Selection’ at Rapid Lion: The South African International Film Festival in Johannesburg. Matemotja has close ties to South Africa, as she is half South African and it was while living there that she first began developing the project. She also loosely based one character in the film ‘Sipho’ on her South African father, who also plays the role in the film. Matemotja shares, “I’m especially excited the film is screening in Johannesburg as my hope is to help ‘elevate’ the minds and hearts of anyone struggling with homophobia and racism, as these issues are so prevalent on the continent.”

Last fall, Matemotja earned the ‘Female Pioneer Award’ when ELEVATE premiered at the DTLA Film Festival in Los Angeles. Prior to this, the film earned an Award of Merit for Best Feature Film and Best Actress in a Leading Role (Angela Matemotja) from the Accolade Global Film Competition.

ELEVATE follows the story of Trina, an overweight elevator switchboard operator who desperately tries to accomplish just one day of healthy eating. Overwhelmed by her abusive boss and by the trapped elevator occupants that reach out to her for help, her fitness guru provides the inspiration and escape that she craves – or does she? Ultimately, all of the occupants in this trapped world find themselves caught face-to-face with their inner demons.

The film also stars Brianna Brown (CW’S Dynasty), Kit Williamson (creator/star of award-winning and Emmy nominated LGBTQ series Eastsiders), Alexis Carra (Latina star of ABC’s Mixology) and Matemotja (Tyler Perry’s Single Mom’s Club). To produce the film, Matemotja turned to Dele Ogundiran, who is also African, and Brown, who is the CEO of the non-profit The New Hollywood, which is dedicated to supporting socially conscious storytellers and changemakers.

As an actress, Matemotja has appeared on screens big and small. Her notable feature film credits include the role of ‘Christina’ in Tyler Perry’s The Single Mom’s Club and alongside Kevin Hart in the indie comedy film Something Like A Business. Her television roles include appearances on the CBS mega-hit comedy How I Met Your Mother, Amazon’s top cop-drama Bosch, ABC’s long-running series Castle and edgy sitcom Don’t Trust The B…, and Ryan Murphy’s modern laugher The New Normal on NBC.

Behind the camera, Matemotja earned an NAACP Award nomination for directing the stage play Sunshine For a Midnight Weary. Her first short film as writer/director, The Encounter, screened at over 30 international film festivals, earning the Grand Jury Award at the White Sands Int’l FF, Honorable Mention at Toronto CommFFest and nominations for Best Short Film at SoCal FF, SOHO FF and Long Island Int’l Film Expo. Her second short, The Untimely Concurrence, won Best LGBTQ Film at AOF FF, San Francisco Black FF and San Diego Black FF, and the Silver Screen Award for Best Short Film at the Nevada Int’l FF. In addition, her screenplay Drunk Book was awarded Best Comedy Short for the written word competition at AOF FF.

Next Gen. Giving – Innovative Charities People Need to Know About

0
0

With global competition and constant advances in technology, companies need to innovate to make their product or service stand out. After all, you won’t see people lining up to buy first-generation iPhones (or the now museum-worthy original Blackberry). New and innovative is what sells.

Leveraging innovation to stand out is just as important in the charitable sector where competition for donor dollars is at an all-time high – there are over 1.1 million public charities in the U.S. alone. And just as in business, charities that use innovative tools and methods to further their mission can do more, with less. Old-era charities that spend too much of their funding on administration and overhead are going the way of the flip phone: they still work, but they aren’t very efficient and are less and less relevant every day.

Beyond keeping their administration rates low, innovation lets charities improve and expand their impact. By thinking outside of the donation box, charities are creating new revenue streams through social enterprises; using technology to let donors to see the impacts of their gifts – often in real time; and connecting people in remote regions to aid, health and even financial services.

Here are some of the most innovative charities doing good in the world today:

BRAC

BRAC is a Bangladesh-based organization operating in eleven countries in Africa and Asia that works to alleviate poverty by running programs in microfinance, education, healthcare, and girls’ empowerment among others. In 2018, BRAC was ranked first among the world’s top 500 NGOs by Geneva based NGO Advisor, which assesses NGO performance in terms of impact, sustainability and innovation.

BRAC is supported by a suite of social enterprises – including a bank. The social enterprises allow the majority of BRAC’s programmes to be self-financed. In Bangladesh, more than 75 percent of BRAC’s budget comes from its own social enterprises.

BRAC Bank is one of the world’s largest providers of financial services operating in seven countries across Asia and Africa. It’s microfinance division offers low interest loans, insurance and savings services to people often excluded from the formal banking system like small-scale farmers, micro entrepreneurs and low income migrant households. The bank also helped launch bKash, a mobile banking system built for the 70% of Bangladesh residents who live in rural areas of the country. While most have mobile phone network access, only 15% had access to traditional banking services. bKash was created to provide secure banking services to those rural and remote residents, via their phones.

WE Charity

WE Charity and its sister agency ME to WE Social Enterprise has been a model of constant innovation. It started as a small, grassroots organization trying to free children from forced labour in the developing world. In just over two decades it’s grown into an international charity and social enterprise to make “doing good, doable” operating on 4 continents.

In 2009, ME to WE Social Enterprise was launched to support WE Charity by selling sustainable products like hand-crafted jewelry and Fairtrade chocolate to create employment for people in developing countries and provide funding for WE Charity. ME to WE also offers Trips, for youth, schools, families and companies, giving travelers the chance to visit WE Villages partner communities, and hopefully become supporters of the charity after seeing its impact, firsthand.

All ME to WE products are stamped with a unique Track Your Impact code that consumers can enter online to see exactly what and who their purchase supports. From water projects in Ecuador, to new schools in Kenya, buyers can see right from their phones the impact they’re making with each purchase. A minimum of 50 percent of the social enterprise funds generated by ME to WE go to WE Charity, which allows it to grow while keeping a low administration rate of approximately 10%. The rest of the funding is reinvested to grow the social enterprise and its purpose.

Give Directly

U.S.-based charity, Give Directly, joins the list thanks to its forward-thinking implementation of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) – direct cash payments to individuals to pay for their basic living needs – in communities in rural Kenya.

The twelve-year initiative began in 2017, and is the largest trial of UBI to date, both in terms of size and duration. All 16,000 residents from 120 rural Kenyan villages will receive some type of unconditional cash transfers during the initiative.

While there have been smaller-scale UBI pilot projects in Finland, Canada and the Netherlands, UBI has never been thoroughly tested in a modern, large-scale, academically rigorous trial. So why UBI? According to the Brookings Institution, it would take about $80 billion in cash transfers to boost the all 700 million people living in poverty around the world, above the poverty line. While that amount sounds enormous, the world currently spends almost double that amount in global aid each year. So UBI might just be the answer, and Give Directly is working to provide the evidence.

Afri-CAN Children’s Charity

Two out of three children in South Africa grow up in poverty, which leads to malnutrition and disease, and virtually eliminates their opportunity for an education. The Afri-CAN Children’s charity works to support children under the age of six, when they are most vulnerable. The charity provides nutritious breakfasts for students and teachers; water, sanitation and hygiene training for teachers and children; and even a fashionable track suit for kids to wear to school. The charity also helps upgrade privately run Early Childhood Development Centres/Nurseries (ECD Centres) located in the poorest and most underprivileged townships of South Africa, where education is critical to emerging from poverty. Through training and mentoring, the charity works with EDC owners to teach them business and technical skills to promote self-sustainability, and teaches them how to obtain access to government grants to further infrastructure upgrades, creating long-term, sustainable education centres for children.

charity: water

It’s among the most basic of human needs, but 1 in 10 people (that’s 663 million) still don’t have access to clean water. charity: water is working to lower those numbers by partnering with local communities in Africa, Asia, South and Central America, to address each community’s unique water needs. From wells, to water filtration or piped in water, charity: water creates a local Water Committee to design, build and maintain the best solution for communities. Thanks to an innovative partnership with Google, sensors are installed on each water system to monitor its performance and let donors see the impact of their gift by accessing GPS and water flow data, online. To date, Charity: water has built almost 30,000 water systems bringing clean water to over 8 million people.

Kiva

Kiva is an organization that facilitates small microfinance loans, as little as $25, to entrepreneurs, social businesses, schools and other non-profit organizations in the developing world to help lift people out of poverty, expand small businesses like local farms, or fund education opportunities for those who can’t afford them. 81% of Kiva’s borrowers are women.

Kiva partners with microfinance institutions to screen-in valid applications and connect them to individual lenders through Kiva’s website. The loans are zero interest and 100% of the loan amount goes to the lender – Kiva chargers no fees to either party. Kiva’s operating costs are covered by voluntary donations made from Kiva lenders, made in addition to, or instead of loans, and through grants and donations from supporters.

To date Kiva has facilitated 3.1 million loans in 82 different countries with a value of $1.24 billion, with an astounding repayment rate of 96.9%.

Common Goal

With a billion fans worldwide and participants in almost every country, few pastimes have the global reach of soccer. Seeking to leverage that popularity to do good, Common Goal was founded in 2017 with Manchester United’s Spanish soccer star Juan Mata leading the way. The charity seeks to sign up members of the global soccer community to pledge one percent of their salaries to a collective fund that supports charities around the world. Since its inception, the Spaniard has been joined by more than 50 fellow players from 17 countries, including other players from the England’s prestigious Premier League. And non-millionaire soccer fans can team up with their heroes to provide their make a pledge of their own.

Malala Fund

Most people know 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai’s heroic story, but they might not know about the Malala Fund, founded by Malala and her father, Ziauddin. The fund works to provide access to education for girls in developing countries who are denied it because of war, poverty, child marriage and gender discrimination. Through targeted investments, the fund supports educators and activists fighting for girls’ education in countries where they are most likely to be out of school, including Pakistan, the Syria region, Nigeria, Afghanistan and others. And the fund’s leaders advocate at the local, national and international levels for resources and policy changes needed to give all girls access to education.

Thuggizzle is a hip-hop purist, the dedication to his craft can be seen in his mind-blowing “off the dome” freestyle Get Cha Hustle Up

0
0

Freestyler Thuggizzle prides himself on rhyming off the dome with the ability to think of clever, intricate rhymes on the spot. Despite the wealth of talent Hodge was born with, the home life of his childhood was one of instability and neglect. I recently run through his catalog and found a rapper with multiple flows, detailed storytelling, thought-provoking lyricism, enthralling music, and sometimes with a video to match. He had me, it only takes one track to make someone a fan, I wasn’t on the bandwagon yet, but he had my interest. If he could deliver more songs that carried this quality, I’d gladly buy a ticket and grab a window seat in the front row. Then I bumped into “Get Cha Hustle Up”. By the end of this track, it became very clear that Thuggizzle is talented, thoughtful, and able to articulate his views straight off the cuff.

Without a doubt, “Get Cha Hustle Up” is an impressive effort. Thuggizzle is a special talent that seems like he is ready and waiting, on the brink of something massive. Here, the Texas rapper sounds fresh and poised for a strong run, leaving fans optimistic about his future. The flame throwing spitta, flows all across the track with ease and delivers a catchy hook. 

He certainly doesn’t waste a bar either as he lets everyone know that he’s claiming his stake in the culture. Thuggizzle shows great technique in being able to switch his delivery, a skill that shouldn’t go unappreciated by rap fans across the spectrum.

“Get Cha Hustle Up”, if nothing else, sheds any enigma that may have previously surrounded him, and most other freestylers who work “off the dome”. For most hip-hop fans, when they see the term “freestyle” they think of a rhyme that is made up on the spot.

But that hasn’t always been the case, and examining the changing meanings of the word is a three-decade story from the East Coast to the West and everywhere in between. In the strict sense of the term, “freestyle” has always meant rapping free of style, meaning or subject matter and just rhyming to show off your technical skills.

Thuggizzle rhymes “off the dome”, meaning he has a precise meaning and subject matter to communicate, he just doesn’t write it down and makes up his rhymes on the go. A skill which became an essential part of an emcee’s toolbox during the 1990’s. Thuggizzle is a hip-hop purist. Clearly not taking any shortcuts, the dedication to his craft can be seen in his mind-blowing “off the dome” freestyles.

He is no slouch as an emcee with all the ambition in the world, and a unique voice to separate him from his peers. Lyrically, Thuggizzle treads a line. He’s a prolific performer with a knack for banging out raps at a steady pace. Currently catering to the indie crowd, he’s working towards making an even bigger splash. “Get Cha Hustle Up” is just another milestone along the way.

Combining Square and Circle to Pure Green, Important and Great Work

A Discription of Liu Zhenhong, a Famous Calligrapher

A calligrapher’s skill can be considered from two perspectives: external and internal study. The external study is the inheritance of the method of stele inscriptions, and the internal study is the expression of the sentiment of pen and ink. Mr. Liu Zhenhong, a famous calligrapher, has not only acquired the merit of external study of stele posts, but also the beauty of lyric quality and rhyme in calligraphy. He is really “gentle” and makes calligraphy both inside and outside complement each other, thus creating a great work of both virtue and art.

Zhencao’s seal, official, running,cursive script are equally good, there is no one genre left to be abandoned, all his books are successful, all-round success, this is Mr. Liu Zhenhong through a lifelong process of pen and ink cultivation and accumulation of great achievements. He was enlightened in his childhood and inherited by Mr. Liu Yongsheng, a professional calligrapher. He entered the calligraphy arena very early and showed excellent talent in pen and ink. He is talented and ambitious, which makes him handy in the practice of practicing inscriptions. With strong concentration and persistence, he has become one of the best calligraphers in the tradition after 60 years of study.

What is more valuable is that his calligraphy inspired from the study of inscriptions in Qin and Han dynasties, and he also made great efforts to explore forward. He thoroughly understood the simplicity and sincerity of Oracle bones and tortoise shells in the pre – Qin period, as well as the opening of the stone drum of Zhong Ding. Calligraphy originated from the cultural source of the pre – Qin period, and when writing with ink, it is  naturally formed a large bearing with elegant classical roots. This is Liu Zhenhong’s calligraphy at first sight, which is also the important reason why he always feels rich cultural and historical feelings in his works. If calligraphers can follow his example and go so far in exploring the source of calligraphy, then the light floating and superficial shortcomings of calligraphy can be eliminated and the true style of calligraphy can be fully displayed.

Calligraphy training has a strong ability to learn from the ancients, so the tone and rhyme of the inscriptions will inevitably take the form and implication of the dual realm. His official script followed the unique style of the Han tablet, showing strength with steel and ease with roundness, thus becoming a model of merging the two styles. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to write elegant rhymes with a round pen in calligraphy, but the square calligraphy requires the artist to have the talent to understand the quality of the tablet. It is easy to write a round and difficult to write a square. This is why calligraphy is more softly attractive. Liu zhenhong’s ability to express  square and round’s method in calligraphy is obviously an achievement based on his deep cultivation and appreciation of his official script’s re-perception of Han rhyme. One can feel the uniqueness of his official script. One can feel the strength of the ritual tablet, refer to the grandeur of the Hua Mountain tablet, and then take the ease of Shi mensong. All the tablets can combine skills. One can see at a glance the realm of this skill in history.

In the contemporary calligraphy world, regular script is weak. Many calligraphers don’t revise regular scripts, and the result of taking over cursive scripts is that there will be more abnormality in pen and ink. Although Mr. Liu Zhenhong knows that regular script is difficult to study, he is not afraid of extraordinary difficulties. He uses his will to dye through the pool and wear tens of thousands of pens. He strives to achieve good results in the regular script. The small script is hand-written with heart sutra, delicate and elegant, Zen style and rhyme interpretation. The regular script has Liu’s structures and Yan’s strengths. He also agrees with Zhao Ziang’s method of “regular script stippling with a little care”. Under the support of the rule, regular script is most vivid. This is obviously the beauty of regular script and the true work of calligraphy circles.

Square and round complement each other skillfully, reaching calligraphy realm of great achievements. Thanks to the superior support of regular script skills, his calligraphy has advanced to two courses of cursive and cursive. This is natural and unrestrained. Writing running script follows ” Preface to Orchid Pavilion” as the standard copybook, taking the meaning of the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, changing the writing style of flowing clouds and flowing water, making the cliff stand green and bamboo drunk and lyrical, taking the meaning of the calligraphy and showing the great achievement of the realm, which is amazing. His cursive script comes from the techniques of Zhang Cao and the style of today’s wild cursive. He can wield a pen like a dragon, write with ink, write with phoenix, express emotion, and show everyone’s skill all the time!
