Name Lending Films Secures Funding for Feature Drama 'BILLION DOLLAR MIRAGE'

Name Lending Films has announced today that it has secured funding for its premiere project, BILLION DOLLAR MIRAGE, the remarkable personal account of one of the largest financial scandals in history. Set in Saudi Arabia the feature length film is an adaptation of American banker Glenn Stewart's soon to be published autobiography, Never Do Business With Princes or Kings. With casting underway, and funding in place from aX Films and other private equity sources, production for the action thriller is set to begin in early 2019.

The project centers around the remarkable true story of a brash, Oxford-educated young American who moved to Saudi Arabia on a quest for wealth and adventure. In 1989, Stewart landed a job with a prominent Saudi family and worked with them to create a vast banking empire, which successfully cash-flowed over $330 billion dollars from more than 100 banks worldwide. As the global credit meltdown destabilized the world economy, billions of dollars of debt were quickly exposed as fraudulent and everything Stewart had built for himself and his family began to unravel. Stewart found himself at the epicenter of a $126 billion credit default scandal, a fugitive from the law, and on the run from the ruthless Saudi authorities. After being arrested at the airport, trying to flee with his family, Glenn enlists the help of two ex-CIA operatives and executes a daring and at times surreal escape from the Kingdom. Evading capture from the billionaire brothers seeking his destruction, Glenn quickly discovers that his enemies can follow him back to the United States where he was sued for fraud for over nine billion dollars. This epic story stunned the world, making headline news across the pages of the world's leading news outlets from The New Yorker to the Wall Street Journal.

"This is a story that needs to be told, from my vantage point, to reveal what was really going on in Saudi Arabia and the entire region - and still is to this day. You think that Wall Street had it bad at the time? That was nothing compared to my experience," said author Glenn Stewart. Continue reading.

"Was Glenn Stewart the architect of one of the largest banking frauds in history, or an unwitting accomplice to the out-of-control financial ambitions of a corrupt Saudi family? We aim to answer this question with a true story that destabilized the entire international banking world and left the Middle East changed forever," said producers Johnny Martin and Jason Wulfsohn. "We cannot wait to bring this inside-look action thriller to life."

The film is set in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, with spectacular locations across the Middle East, that take us inside a never-before-seen world of impossible opulence and startling corruption, a walled-off world of luxury and privilege where the King's word is absolute.

Jason Wulfsohn (TRACING COWBOYS, THE BONE SNATCHER) and Johnny Martin (HANGMAN, VENGEANCE: A LOVE STORY) are set to produce the film, with a combination of equity investors, including LA-based aX Films, as well as soft money. Elaine Grainger (INCEPTION, HITMAN'S BODYGUARD) has been newly appointed casting director and T.Y. Kim has been tapped as screenwriter.

Woman Overcomes #metoo Trauma by Writing Her Debut Novel

AJ Beaber, Texas's newest #metoo thought leader, reveals a new perspective about relationships, sexuality, and trust through her book "You & I, Inc.", a modern-day sheros journey, based on Beaber's life experiences.

When developing the characters in "You & I, Inc." Beaber brought to the surface pieces of herself that she was unknowingly suppressing. Recalling these hidden aspects became integral to her journey of overcoming betrayal, jealousy, and sexual trauma, to finding forgiveness, healing and wholeness.

"Many women feel uncomfortable exploring their sexuality, the most intimate and powerful part of themselves. They are craving this connection within and don't know where to turn for support. Counseling and coping mechanisms are certainly helpful, yet women are in need of more. The Journey of Lenea, "You & I, Inc.'s" main character, is about discovering and integrating the darker and repressed parts of herself to find true empowerment as a woman. I now share this message and facilitate this work to support and encourage women on their own path of self-discovery." - the author said. Read all the latest news.

AJ Beaber founder of #metoosolutions and nonprofit Red Light Love, LLC, now focuses her efforts giving voice to the challenges of #metoo in a global conversation promoting trust, freedom, and victory for a new generation. She hopes, through her message, women will be inspired to break through their own limiting beliefs around sexuality and live as the empowered woman they are born to be.

Mission Hills China Scoops Hat-trick of World Golf Awards

Mission Hills Haikou resort on China's Hainan Island has received three World Golf Awards, including China's Best Golf Course and China's Best Golf Hotel. Mission Hills Group Vice-Chairman, Tenniel Chu has been named Travel Personality of the Year.

Announced during a glittering ceremony at the La Manga Club in Spain, the hat-trick of World Golf Awards for Mission Hills were voted for by leading golf tourism professionals worldwide as well as more than 100,000 golf consumers in over 100 countries.

The par-72 Lava Fields Course at Mission Hills Haikou was voted China's Best Golf Course 2018 while the five-star Mission Hills Hotel was named China's Best Golf Hotel. Tenniel Chu was named Travel Personality of the Year for his commitment to the golf and travel tourism industry.

Chu commented: "Three World Golf Awards is a great honour for the Mission Hills Group and for me personally. Since my late father founded Mission Hills 25 years ago, our family's mission has always been to bring China to the world and the world to China, so this recognition on such a global scale is truly special." Click here to read the latest news.

Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design, the architects behind the 10 courses at Mission Hills Haikou including the award-winning Lava Fields Course added: "It is quite an honour to receive this award and the attention that this Lava Fields Course long deserves. Wonderfully walkable with unique trails that weave in and out of the lava surrounds, the course is a great departure from the standard designs seen in Asia today and is a great ambassador to the 10 course complex at Mission Hills Haikou." [See full transcript below]

Chris Frost, Managing Director of World Golf Awards said: "I congratulate Mission Hills on this remarkable achievement. Golf tourism's highest accolade is truly deserved and rewards Mission Hills for its commitment to excellence and its determination to become the undisputed market leader."

Located on the tropical tourism island of Hainan, Mission Hills Haikou is part of the Mission Hills Group which also owns and operates Mission Hills Shenzhen in southern China. Together, the fully-integrated luxury resorts span a total of 40 square kilometres and 22 golf courses, making Mission Hills the largest golf complex in the world.

The trio of World Golf Awards for Mission Hills is further recognition for its Haikou facility which was recently voted Asia Pacific Golf Resort of the Year by IAGTO, the world's leading golf tourism organisation. Earlier this year, the Blackstone Course at Mission Hills Haikou entered Golf Digest's 100 Greatest Golf Courses for the first time at number 48.

Full transcript of Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design talking about the award-winning Lava Fields Course at Mission Hills Haikou:

It is quite an honour to receive this award and the attention that this course long deserves.

While the Blackstone Course (a course that has hosted numerous world class events and is located adjacent to the main facilities) has certainly been the most visible and renowned course at Mission Hills Haikou over the past years, I have always felt that Lava Fields warranted equal attention for its strong, quality golf experience. This has also been echoed by many in the golf critic circles who have appreciated Lava Fields for its unique design, including an early strong ranking by Golf World Magazine when it opened, placing it in the middle of its Top 100 list. Read here.

While Blackstone took advantage of a more dramatic and varied setting, Lava Fields was produced on a somewhat desolate expanse of generally flatfish lava terrain. There were a handful of existing low areas that, in the hands of most designers, may have become lakes to avoid the cost and trouble of excavating additional lows. But, to the credit of Mission Hills and the desire to produce the best experience possible, we retained these natural lows as is and created additional large lakes. These additional rock excavations were costly but helped create the landforms that factor heavily in the design and produce elevation change on the site. Be alert to the latest news.

The design is exceptionally dramatic and varied with 18 individual holes of memorable character, but reads as an overall experience that emphasizes a rugged, transitional look where the outer edges weave in and out of the lava. Open lava expanses create a very intimidating look but ample fairway width is available for those who choose a safer route yet angles of attack create exciting opportunities for aggressive play.

There is a wide variety of green shapes and contour, some bordering on the extreme, but always in keeping with the club used as an approach.

Highlights include the 3rd hole that hugs a long stretch of lava rock, strong, varied par-3s with wonderful carries over trouble, the visually dramatic 15th that plays to a perched green site with wild transitional bunkering surrounds, and the risk / reward 18th that features optional second shots over dramatic rock walls and canyons.

Wonderfully walkable with unique trails that weave in and out of the lava surrounds, the course is a great departure from the standard designs seen in Asia today and is a great ambassador to the 10 course complex at Mission Hills Haikou.

CCSD School Board Candidate Danielle Ford Standing Out In A Way That Compares To Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

As the 2018 General Election draws closer, Las Vegas voters may have found their own Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Danielle Ford, a candidate for Clark County School Board, District F Trustee.

"Many voters here in Las Vegas are comparing Danielle Ford to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and I, for one, think we're long overdue for a strong candidate willing to look past the corporate special interests and start making our kids the only special interest," stated Clark County voter Brian Dean.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the trailblazing New York congressional candidate took the establishment by storm earlier this year. She defeated Joe Crowley, a lifelong who dismissed Ocasio-Cortez as a blip on the screen. Much to his surprise and the shock of many special interests who funded his campaign, voters delivered a strong, unified message that change is real. Ocasio-Cortez became an instant sensation among voters looking for an outsider's perspective and a fresh set of eyes for chronic challenges facing their communities.

Indeed, Ocasio-Cortez and Danielle Ford share many similarities. Both entered the political arena without the horse-trading and promise-making that underscores the path typical politicians take to win elections. They have no allegiances to the business-as-usual politics that has corroded national politics for years and undermined schools in Clark County for a generations. Read all the related news.

Without a doubt, Danielle Ford is Clark County's Alexandria. She is a strong, mission-focused woman with no ties to the special interests that prop up most campaigns. Insiders see that as a disadvantage. Clark County voters, however, are seeing it differently giving Ford the win in the primary elections. Like they've done to Alexandria, Danielle Ford is being derided for coming from outside the political machine. She's a former PTO mom, successful entrepreneur and host of Leading Las Vegas who decided to stop complaining and start campaigning.

Danielle Ford is gaining momentum and resonating with voters seeking a bold voice for education and her personal story offers voters a compelling reason: a native Las Vegan, Ford dropped out of high-school and is now running to improve the same school system that failed her. Ford is an unwavering advocate for a strong public school system and wants to end efforts to undermine teachers' efforts and students' education. She has an aggressive agenda that focuses on funding schools properly, decreasing class sizes, and raising teacher pay. Ford is also uniquely discussing the use of revenues from marijuana sales as an opportunity to invest directly in education.

This election, voters have a chance to get behind a candidate not shaped by the old mold. Danielle Ford is willing to talk about issues that many candidates want to ignore. She puts the status quo on the hot seat and is unwilling to shy away from tough issues. It's the 'Alexandria' effect: strong candidates ready to turn the political establishment on its ear. We've seen it happen in places like New York and California. Now were seeing Clark County voters embrace the chance to put kids ahead of special interests, by making Danielle Ford our next trustee for Clark County School Board, District F."
