MXQLIFEWATER, a powerful new health beverage which combines American scientific technology with traditional Chinese wellness ingredients will hold a unique Tasting Party at the company’s U.S. headquarters in New York’s General Motors Building at 3pm on Monday, November 22nd.</p>
<p>MXQLifewater’s unique intellectual property was discovered by Noble Prize nominated pharmaceutical scientist, Dr. Jerry Thornthwaite who has created the proprietary next generation delivery system called Nutra NaNoSphere. The fatty cell of Nutrananosphere  particle wraps up the ingredients like a shield to protect them to be digested or destroyed by stomach acid , and the nutrients get transported to the blood cells.</p>
<p>How does the science work?<br />
MXQLIFEWATER’s American CEO, Dr. Rob Davidson, co-founder and board member of Cure Pharmaceutical, who has over 20 patents in Drug delivery and formulation science, will explain and answer questions on site. Trained in Cambridge University in England, Davidson’s  extensive experience and profound research capabilities will illustrate with clarity how nutrients through the incredibly small NutraNaNoSphere particles are absorbed directly into human body cells, accelerating the pharmaceutincal benefits faster and more effectively than traditional pills, liquids, or other delivery systems.</p>
<p>MXQLifeWater Tasting Party will provide beverage industry executives and media representatives an unprecedented opportunity to experience the benefits of Lifewater’s NaNoSphere technology firsthand while the Q&#038;A session to answer questions about this radical new technology will shed light on a unique product which has already become a market leader in China.</p>
<p>MXQ CFO Joey Zhou and Legal Council Jeff Boghert will provide the company’s financial forecast and legal precautions and they are happy to answer questions at the tasting party.</p>
<p>MXQLifewater was developed in Tennessee, manufactured in highly controlled FDA research lab and manufacturing plant. Founding was provided by Dr.Xiaoqiu Ma, a self-made billionaire, philanthropist, best-selling author, filmmaker, composer and performer, whose investment passion is in life science, technology, health &#038; beauty, and other fast growing investment sectors here and in the PRC. Holding tasting parties through China in the past three months, MXQLifeWater has became an instant success and a favorite subject on its path to beverage market leadership!</p>

A  unique  trail,  perfectly  connecting  the  Friuli  Venezia  Giulia  coast  with  its  mountains,  travelling through its vineyards and hills, and creating a network of regional food and wine resources together with  cultural  and  environmental  ones,  in  order  to  build  a  transversal  and  integrated  product  to enhance food and wine tourism and make it more accessible for tourists. This is the ambitious goal of the  “Tastes  of  Friuli  Venezia  Giulia  Food  and  Wine  Tour”  (Strada  del  Vino  e  Sapori  Friuli  Venezia Giulia,  SVS),  a  project  arising  from  the  Regional  Law  22/2015  to  develop  regional  tourism  in  a coordinated,  competitive  and  non-fragmented  manner,  linked  to  the  world  of  wine  and  agro-food and in line with the tourism market demand.</p>
<p>Under the Regional Law, PromoTurismoFVG, in collaboration with ERSA, is the chosen organisation for  the  Trail’s  complete  management  and  coordination  of  all  members.  Thereby  making  Friuli Venezia Giulia the only region in Italy, at this time, to have a single organisation managing the wine trail projects and undertaking all actions related to the operation with its own internal resources. To this effect, PromoTurismoFVG receives funding from the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia and uses it to fulfil the purposes of the system and the operators that belong to it.</p>
<p>The  “Tastes  of  Friuli  Venezia  Giulia  Food  and  Wine  Tour”  project  also  brings  another  important change  to  the  Italian  wine  tourism  world:  Friuli  Venezia  Giulia  is  in  fact  the  first  region  in  Italy  to regulate (art. 6 of the Regional Law 22/2015) the administration of traditional agro-food production, and speciality and quality non-cooked production along  with tastings during wine cellar visits.</p>
<p>The SVS aims to give tourists a true holiday experience, surrounded by the wine and food of Friuli Venezia Giulia, just like a genuine, authentic and quality sample of the “Made in Italy” taste. Among the targets of SVS are the creation of products and bespoke services for the wine-tourist, organised either  individually  or  in  groups,  the  development  of  activities  related  to  wine  and  other  local products, the implementation of promotional activities aimed at placing the offer in the market, the communication  and  promotion  of  a  single  receptacle  that  holds  all  of  what  the  region  and  its partners have to offer, the integration of the SVS contents with PromoTurismoFVG’s sales promotion strategy and all regional partners’ strategies.</p>
<p>The  key  word  characterising  SVS’s  first  actions  is  synergy:  in  fact,  PromoTurismoFVG  has  worked closely with a work group, composed of the regional food and wine world’s main players, to build a product  that  can  easily  be  shared  within  the  region.  The  fruits  of  our  labour  came  from  the<br />
experience and work done when managing the previous tourist wine trail..</p>
<p>SVS, which involves the community as a whole, is not a physical journey but a single receptacle in which  six  different  life  experiences  areprovided  in  related  areas,  which  will  benefit  from  unique promotion.<br />
The  following  categories  and  subjects  can  only,  and exclusively,  join  Tastes  of Friuli  Venezia  Giulia Food and Wine Tour: wineries, i.e. cooperative wine cellars and private wine producers; agro-tourism operators  with  accommodation  and  board  or  one  of  the  two  activities;  restaurants,  trattorias, osterias with kitchen, restaurants located in hotels of at least 3 stars; farms producing and processing traditional food products. From 2018, membership of the following will be available: tasting shops, bars and other similar places with or without kitchen (bars, breweries, bakeries, cafes, wineries); arts and crafts companies which focus on items linked to the rural, wine and food world, food and wine museums, eco-museums and structures with inherent local traditions linked to food, wine and craft products;  the  environment,  culture  and  infrastructure  of  artistic  and  cultural  interests  or  parks; service companies (travel agents, tour operators, transport hire firms, cooperatives of tour guides) and professionals and entertainers linked to tourism, culture and local traditions</p>
<p>The  “Tastes  of  Friuli  Venezia  Giulia  Food  and  Wine  Tour”  participants  benefit  from  promotion provided   by   PromoTurismoFVG,   which   includes   web   marketing,   media   relations,   advertising investments, participation in trade fairs and specific marketing aimed at improving the identification and enhancement of structures. SVS will also have a logo and corporate image.<br />
To ensure a high standard of quality, the required minimum qualities for participating are listed in<br />
individual membership cards, by each category.<br />
These requirements, along with other relevant details as to how SVS operates, can be found within the regulations that govern the project.</p>

Born in a scholarly family, Mr. Li started learning Chinese traditional calligraphy from his grandfather when he was six years old. Over the course of 50 years, he poured his heart into Chinese traditional calligraphy and never stopped perfecting his skills. He is the one and only Chinese calligrapher who can use formal script, cursive script, official script, Jinming script, Dazuan script, Xiaozuan script, running script and Weibei script to write Chinese character. Among them, official script and running script are his specialties. Mr. Li pioneered Pu’er calligraphy and it’s famous for its vintage appeal, long lasting aroma and perfect combination of calligraphy and tea ceremony. It is the first of its kind and worthy of appreciation and collection.<br />
The main themes of Mr. Li’s paintings include flowers, birds and people portraits; among the themes, his Chinese painting of peony is the most spectacular. He paints the flower with wonderful accuracy of observation so that his paintings vividly present the radiant and graceful nature of the peony. If you are fortunate to appreciate the painting in person, it carries you back in time to the Luoyang peony wonderland and it truly is a rare experience. That’s why Mr. Li is known as &#8220;Peony Master&#8221; home and abroad.<br />
Mr Li’s portrait painting of beautiful traditional Chinese lady is also a masterpiece. The aesthetics of the painting tranquilizes you with its gracefully gorgeousness and make you lost in your reverie. The painting was collected by an English Duke and he fell in love with China because of it. Interestingly, he even told Mr. Li that he must find someone that looks like the one in the painting in reality.<br />
Since 2008, Mr. Li’s artworks were exhibited in Belgium, Hong Kong, Taiwan and in touring exhibitions across Mainland China. To encourage cultural exchanges, Mr. Li was invited to London in December 2011 to hold an exhibition. His artworks were well-received by the British royal family, celebrities, artists, Chinese Ambassador of United Kingdom and people who love art. Most of them were sold on the spot and among them; the portrait panting of a traditional Chinese lady grabbed a handsome amount of £80,000 ($125,000). Some of them were even collected by the Cambridge University Museum and himself and the Vice President of Cambridge University and Dean of Trinity College, Dr. Martin Rees, also put a few Mr. Li’s artworks into his own personal collection.<br />
With his passion about Chinese traditional culture and his charisma as an orient artist, Li Qiang devotes himself to become a bridge connection that facilities East-West cultural exchange.<br />

<p>Good News needs your help for the<a title="peace link " href="http:// www.peacedayparty.org" target="_blank"> www.peacedayparty.org</a> events for September 21, 2015. Please go to the website and participate, with your help we can get the whole world to celebrate International Peace Day. Zhen Joy Lin Dame of St. John of Jerusalem and president of World Water Rescue Foundation and Vice President of Good News Broad Cast was invited to watch Red Poppy Ladies&#8217; production of Mulan which was invited to perform at three Olympic Games( Beijing, London and Athens) and Washington DC Kennedy Art Center, Sydney Opera House and Broad show last year and about 50 different countries.</p>
<p>The New York Times praised the show calling it: &#8220;Exciting, Sharp &amp; Graceful.&#8221; The New York Times gave the show a score of 9.99 out of 10. The brilliance of Mulan is not only told in the story of how she saved her father and country but also through the themes of Peace, Harmony, Love and Joy to the World.  This is shown through her <strong>filial piety</strong> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_language">Chinese</a>: 孝xian) , as it is called in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucianism">Confucian</a> philosophy and through the brave, courageous, and bold Red Drum which shakes the Sky, Earth, Water, Fire and even the universe to bridge ancient and modern times, and between East and West, forming a family. Dame Zhen Joy Lin is the representation of the modern Mulan, of which is a symbol of peace, love and joy. This correlates with the United Nations International Day of Peace.</p>

Toad in the Hole<br />
What could be more delicious than sausage encased in a crisp, Golden Yorkshire Pudding smothered in gravy? Absolutely nothing. That is a Toad in the Hole. This is a very traditional Dish in England – a hearty meal perfect for a chilly winter night.<br />
Don&#8217;t worry there are definitely no toads involved! The origin of the name &#8220;Toad-in-the-Hole&#8221; is often disputed. Many suggestions are that the dish&#8217;s resemblance to a toad sticking its head out of a hole provides the dish with its somewhat unusual name. It is rumored to have been called &#8220;Frog-in-the-Hole&#8221; in the past, although little evidence exists to support this theory.[2] It has also been referred to as &#8220;sausage toad&#8221;. Yorkshire pudding is a delicious batter that is baked in the oven (think of a popover but fluffier and significantly tastier!)<br />
The recipe is actually very simple, but takes practice to cook perfectly as success relies on getting the batter into the pan at the right moment.<br />
The batter is a simple pancake recipe (eggs and flour beaten until smooth with milk gradually added) it is then added to a pan that has been oiled and heating in a hot oven for about 15 minutes. The batter should sizzle and start to take shape immediately. If the oil is not hot enough your batter will not rise and will be a soggy disaster. The sausages are laid in the batter and the whole thing bakes for approximately 30 minutes.<br />
Typically it is served with vegetables, mashed potatoes and onion gravy. Although I enjoy it with cauliflower cheese and baked beans (English Heinz variety are the only way to go!!). Usually pork sausages are used but I&#8217;ve experimented with veggie and chicken sausages with great results!<br />
This is the ultimate comfort food – warm and inviting and my go to whenever I&#8217;m missing home.<br />
Give it a try and you will not be disappointed! Whoever said that English cuisine was bad clearly had never eaten a great Toad in the Hole.:)</p>

An International food court, and booths staffed by sponsors of the event, many of whom will be giving away promotional items, and many community-based organizations participating help make for a unique, action packed, multi-cultural, New York weekend. The tradition of Dragon Boat Racing is an annual Chinese rite commemorating the idealistic poet and reformer Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the third century B.C. to protest against his emperor&#8217;s policies. The locals raced in their boats in an attempt to rescue the poet. To prevent fish and water dragons from eating his body, the locals beat their drums and splashed their paddles.

Sri Lanka&#8217;s top fashion designer Aslam Hussein put on a spectacular program before a packed house of celebrity media and dignitaries recently, at the Permanent Mission of Sri Lanka to the United Nations in New York. The dynamic designer got a standing ovation for his elegant and exceptionally creative designs, and became the first Sri Lankan fashion guru ever, to be brought to America for such a show.

Gold and Bronze ruled the event, as well as spectacular, vibrant colors on silks that glistened on the illuminated runway.
