Jing Zhao Cesarone started her entrepreneurship in 2001 with her first company, ChinaWise, a leading business advisory firm headquartered in Chicago. In 2017, she expanded to fill the need she saw within this space for accredited early childhood education. And thus, ChildWise was born.</p>
<p>Jing carries with her a list of significant accomplishments that just keeps growing: from finishing second in her province out of 100,000 students to earning a full scholarship to the University of Illinois to working with Fortune 500 clients and founding her own companies. She has led multiple international projects, including distribution of educational video programs, marketing of children retail brands and entrepreneurship training, to name just a few.</p>
<p>She won the Corporate Woman of Achievement Award from the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO Chicago), and recently received the Global Achievement Award from the Chinese Cultural Foundation in New York for her contribution to advance global education programs.</p>

&#8212; Holding up the spirit of everyone in the world<br />
—— 滋养世界上每一个人的灵魂<br />
&#8212; Nurturing the soul for each of us on earth</p>
<p>A Call for World Peace  By Master Hong TAI </p>
<p>Peace is a magnificent word but also tiny<br />
Peace is a state of both near and far.<br />
People who live in peace cannot feel its weight.<br />
But those who lost peace see it as an unreachable dream.</p>
<p>If I can, I hope that no one in the world have to<br />
bear the heaviness of lost peace.<br />
If I can, I hope peace is like a body of a healthy human being.<br />
Building the spirit of everyone in the world and<br />
Nourishing their longing soul.</p>
<p>Peace should not be the magic wand of conspirators.<br />
Peace should not be left in the dream of war.<br />
Peace should be cherished by everyone.<br />
Peace should become a pursuit and a belief,<br />
A belief in or human self-salvation.</p>
<p>our Chaotic world needs peace.<br />
Peace is a neutral and great voice.<br />
She represents the interests of all.<br />
she embraces all beliefs and carries them all.<br />
She will be transformed into a variety of voices.<br />
And these voices will eventually be attributed to peace<br />
Because peace is the love of the source.<br />
Peace is the spring of life and a sweet dream.<br />
Peace is our bright shinning sun,<br />
Peace will be turned into faith<br />
Filling every dark and damp corner,    </p>
<p>To save the past and avoid future crisis,<br />
We call for a lasting peace for generations.<br />
We will chase the pace of peace endlessly<br />
If peace does not return to its place someday,<br />
That is the day for all of us<br />
to continue our fight for peace!</p>

Gilbert&#8217;s prose style is detailed, voice-driven, and refined. The author quickly establishes a sense of place that becomes increasingly vivid as Gilbert introduces its many distinctive residents. [He] excels in creating memorable characters whose individual stories coalesce to tell a broader literary and historical narrative. In the tradition of Winesburg, Ohio, Gilbert&#8217;s Tales of Little Egypt brings small-town America to full life.<br />
&#8211;Publishers Weekly Book Life Review<br />
&#8220;From the very beginning TALES OF LITTLE EGYPT prepares us for an emotional journey. From a battle-side death bed to the truths of small-town America, this collection of historical short fiction weaves between tales that are at times endearing, at times tragic, but always insightful&#8230; A rich collection of short stories offering insight into the collective American past and present.&#8221;<br />
&#8212; Independent Book Review<br />
A Fulbright Scholar and historian-turned-master-storyteller is at it again in his 15th book, Tales From Little Egypt, a fictional account of life that spans from the Civil War of the 1860s to the Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and World War I. Once a distinguished professor and Fulbright Scholar, James, who also had one of his history books make a New York Times Notable List, takes a historical approach to examining 13 imaginary lives that touched some of the most significant eras of American history.<br />
“Little Egypt was the destination of my childhood summer,” reveals Gilbert. “Those gatherings where family stories were shared would serve as inspiration for the colorful tales I have penned.” Indeed, three generations of his family lived there, and some family members fought on opposite sides of the Civil War.<br />
More About The Book:<br />
Tales of Little Egypt is a fictional account of small-town America and the peculiar, ordinary, eccentric, sturdy, cunning, and contented characters who created it. Set in the years between the Civil War and the great Influenza Plague of 1918, this is a pageant of imaginary people&#8211;the narratives of a score of men, women, and children whose lives illustrate the immense changes and challenges of that turbulent era. This was a period of great events and outsized personalities: splendid World&#8217;s Fairs attended by millions, radical new inventions, devastating wars and violent revolutions; leaders like Theodore Roosevelt. But underneath were the people whose stories are as fascinating, troubled, compelling and triumphant as anything that has occupied the attention of historians. There was the town doctor, the local sheriff, the jeweler, the self-appointed matron of morality, a young black girl and her mother, a boy who ran off to the circus and many others: lovers, criminals, teachers, ministers, and odd characters. As a community, their lives and ambitions, their failures and tragedies&#8211;sometimes at their own making&#8211;and their small successes intersected and become a part of each other.<br />
Marion, Illinois is both a real place and the imaginary location for these stories. Set in the center of Little Egypt, Marion is a county seat in the middle of this unique area, a river delta wedged between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. These two great highways of American immigration and trade sent millions of settlers North and South, East and West and back. The few who stopped off to make it their home created something distinctive. Theirs was a society that reflected the crossroads it occupied and the mix of cultures and sections that it represented. It was both nowhere and everywhere. Therefore, their struggles to make sense of this world exemplify the tale and the memory of modern America in the making.<br />
For Zona Romantica:<br />
“An entertaining mystery with a vibrant setting.”<br />
&#8211;Kirkus Reviews<br />
“The dash of romance added to the intrigue and historical references keeps Zona Romantica a thoroughly inviting read, juxtaposing personal and political observations right up to an unexpected conclusion.<br />
Midwest Book Reviews</p>
<p>About The Author: Over the course of his career as a historian, he published 11 history texts, one of which (Perfect Cities) was named a New York Times notable book of the year in 1986. Throughout his career, he has often succumbed to a love of travel made possible by teaching at the University of Paris and Warwick University in England, and with Fulbright Awards, at the University of Sydney, the University of Amsterdam, Erfurt and Tubingen Universities in Germany, and Uppsala University in Sweden, where he was given an honorary Doctoral Degree. Until 2020, he was the Faculty Fulbright Adviser at the University of Maryland. Born in Chicago, Gilbert attended Carleton College and then the University of Wisconsin, earning a doctoral degree in American Intellectual and Cultural History. In 1966, he was hired by the University of Maryland. He was appointed Distinguished University Professor in 1999. While American history has been his profession, literature has been his passion, and since retirement, he has written three novels and a book of short stories. He is also a (very) amateur cellist.

<p>Everyone knew Olga was a princess, even if one of her own devising. Princess Olga is her fictional memoir. Olga, beginning at age 97, dreams of her childhood in Port of Spain, untangling a family mystery of political intrigue: why her Venezuelan family, living in luxury, fled Trinidad for Harlem in 1924.</p>
<p>Olga was named, she claimed, in 1913, by and for a real Russian Princess:Princess Olga, sister of the reigning Tsar Nicholas. Olga, a babe in arms, was onboard ship going from Margarita, Venezuela to Port of Spain in the Crown Colony of Trinidad.</p>
<p>Port of Spain was where Olga first learned her power as Princess.</p>
<p>Except when she is ushered out of bed, or to the dining room table, Olga, beginning at age 97, dreams back to her childhood in Port of Spain. Her family was intimately connected to the Venezuelan regime; her uncle was its Consul General in Trinidad; her father worked for the dictatorship in the gold fields of Amazonas and most of his brothers worked for the regime, as well. In her dreams, she untangles a mystery of political intrigue and why her family fled Trinidad. She discovers the important part she played, causing her family, living in luxury, to abandon Port of Spain for Harlem in 1924.</p>
<p>She then dreams of her arrival in New York, and of her eventual triumph in her new country: a scholarship to Mount Holyoke, marriage into an old literary family, (Hawthorne and Smyth) but, until she receives a steamer trunk full of cash, she is still connected to the regime in Venezuela.</p>
<p>Princess Olga: Uncovering My Headstrong Mother’s Venezuelan Connection was published on December 8, 2017.</p>
<p>Hardback and paperback copies  are available and may be ordered at all book retail venues, including Amazon and Barnes &#038; Noble. E-books are also available.</p>

Ata relates the creative forces in his life as the spiritual reminder and choice based on those early childhood experiences. Read More<br />
Before the National Rebellion in his homeland began to rage on, Ata’s career as a filmmaker and writer was beginning taking off.  He began to write, direct, and produce productions throughout the world. Before National Rebellion began, Ata left his homeland to come to the United States.<br />
The decision to follow a spiritual calling was not an easy one for Ata. He ignored it for many years trying sustaining it through his creative and business efforts. These efforts along with his business understanding led to a lavish life style common to many people in the film and Real Estate. Ata had financial success, but not happiness. In early 2006 the Real Estate Market was into its collapse. Ata, who up until that time had been successful, experienced a personal and financial disaster. His business failed and his marriage ended. He went from living in a lavish house to becoming homeless. He began to live out of his car. To someone else born to wealth and fame this drastic change of fate would have been the lowest point of their lives. To Ata it was and the beginning of the best moment in his entire life. In that moment he remembered the hopes and dreams of his childhood. It was this experience that led to him to make a choice, and commit to the spiritual path. Ata began to write again, and to focus on the spiritual forces that surround all of us. After many wasted years Ata has found his peace and true path that he was meant to live on.  He has rededicated his life to bringing spirituality and healing in the world. The Lotus Light Children Charity is an expression of this love, hope and desire to help and enlighten children; by bring healing to them through art. The Love International Film Festival, founded by Ata provides and opportunity to support this charity and positive art in cinema around the world.<br />
Along with founding The Lotus Light Children Charity, Ata has once again entered into filmmaking with his production company Enlightenment Entertainment. With five projects in development as follow, “BABA” “In Search Of Heaven”, “CellFish” “CellFish 2- The Final Game.” “Dream On Empty.” He has also recently published his novel “In Search of Heaven” and a book of spiritual poetry from the heart, “I Am A Lotus”.  His new novels “Baba”, “In Search Of Love” and a three-part compilation “The Shrine”, “Married To The Well”, The Silent Beggar” are schedule for release in 2016 and 2017. Ata Servati is grateful to be able to share his love and creativity with the world.<br />

<iframe loading="lazy" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ctJxFMTp1DU" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>The idea to create the Philippe Hatem Foundation for a Happy Childhood [PHF] came from our profound need to carry the message of Philippe’s life. Those of us who knew him, know that his time on earth was different than for most of us. And all of us, adults and children, all learnt something from this little boy, who seemed to be wiser than most. His loving and compassionate spirit was so magically contagious, that we decided it needed to live on no matter what. His life may have been short, but it was meaningful, and PHF will carry his message of hope, smiles and compassion wherever the Foundation takes us.</p>
<p>The PHF aims to make less fortunate children of the world happier, and to regain the desire to live and mature into good people. As misery sweeps through children’s lives in all kinds of ways, we want to help make a difference. We don’t naively believe we will eradicate human misery all by ourselves… but we do believe that even one person fighting for children can change another’s life, and that one organization could help thousands more.</p>
<p>And so we set on to develop projects and programs that will make a real, tangible impact, one smile at a time. We will focus on what makes children happy, without any kind of discrimination. We also want to bring awareness to children’s situation, in Lebanon and around the world, especially with other children. Some of our programs will involve children directly, so that a fortunate child can help a less fortunate child, with love and compassion. Teaching children how to care for those who are less fortunate will contribute to making them more responsible and caring adults, another lesson we learned from Philippe.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Board of Directors of the Philippe Hatem Foundation for a Happy Childhood set a series of principles to abide by in taking any decision related to PHF’s work.</li>
<li>Live up to Philippe’s standards, and be inspired by his life.</li>
<li>Focus on making children happy, today, one smile at a time.</li>
<li>Strive to be different and innovative.</li>
<li>Focus on making a real/tangible impact.</li>
<li>Strive to teach children to also be happy from within.</li>
<li>Actively involve fortunate children in making less fortunate children happy.</li>
<li><a id="FALINK_2_0_1" href="http://goodnewsplanet.com/philippe-hatem-foundation-for-a-happy-childhood/#">Help children</a> with no discrimination whatsoever of their race, religion, nationality or political affiliations.</li>
<li>Maximize the use of funds for the benefit of those in need.</li>
</ul>
<p>A child is a child, no matter where he is from, where he is born, and where he lives. At PHF, we believe it is our responsibility, as citizens of the world, to reach out beyond frontiers and across borders. PHF was established in Lebanon on 13 April 2010 to cover the activities of the Foundation throughout the Middle East; in order to fulfill our international objectives, we are currently working on establishing the Philippe Hatem Foundation for a Happy Childhood in the United States of America and in Africa, both of which will become a reality before the end of 2011.</p>
