KIX to Host the World Premiere of Lupe Fiasco’s Beat N Path

With the challenges faced in pursuing one’s passion, it is rare to find someone like Grammy award-winning rapper and martial artist Lupe Fiasco who’s brave enough to chase more than one.

On its world premiere on Thursday, March 8, 2018, KIX presents the new docu-series Beat N Path where Lupe Fiasco strikes the balance between his love for music and his love for martial arts. Watch as he fuses the polar worlds of expression and discipline together to come up with something surprisingly intriguing. 

Beat N Path offers a flavorful taste of creative synthesis. Dubbed as the “King of Lyrical Trickiness,” Lupe Fiasco manages to blend in both worlds of art and action as he drops everything in his hometown and goes on a purposeful journey to Shaolin, China. In his quest, he travels throughout the country to connect and train with different Kung Fu masters. While he lives out his little-known passion for martial arts, he also takes the opportunity to explore and discover more of China’s burgeoning hip-hop scene. Being an artist in both fields, Lupe Fiasco uncovers that amidst their contrasting cultures, there is still great connection between music and sports.

As a world famous rapper, Lupe Fiasco is known for using his lyrical ability to cleverly include literature and social issues in his songs. He has released several albums throughout the years, and has won a Grammy award for his 2008 single, Daydreamin’.

Beyond being a talented musician, Lupe Fiasco is also a skillful martial artist.  At the age of 10, he obtained the first of his three black belts. His love for the sport has since developed into a passion. Fiasco grew up training martial arts with his father, and is still practicing on a daily basis. 

The world of martial arts is filled with discipline and calculated movements; conversely, music is all about expression and liberation. Despite being each other’s yin and yang, we’ll find that there is grace and beauty in both worlds. Starting March 8, 2018, go on a journey with Lupe Fiasco as he discovers harmony in sports and art as he travels to China to train martial arts and explore the country’s music scene. Can the rhythm of his body move to the rhythm of his melody?

Beat N Path is produced by Studio SV, a Los Angeles and Hong Kong-based production outfit co-founded by Lupe Fiasco and Bonnie Chan Woo, its marketing and media executive. Studio SV is a cross-cultural entertainment company that caters to global audiences. Fiasco explained that along its pursuit to bring together different cultures, it is also Studio SV’s mission to provide audiences experiences that inspire, intrigue and transform. 

Catch the world premiere of Beat N Path exclusively on KIX this March 8, 2018 at 9PM. Show runs every Thursday 9PM. You can watch KIX on Cablelink Ch.54, Cignal TV Ch. 133, Destiny Cable Ch.63, Gsat Ch. 18 and SKYcable Ch.63.

D. Siegfried Block GmbH & Clinic Dr. Block, always the top choice when it comes to fresh cell therapy

Fresh Cell Therapy Brings Treatment to New Heights

What's the difference between a stem cell therapy and a live cell therapy? Stem Cell Therapy uses human cells from a donor while a Live Cell Therapy uses only animal/ sheep cells. According to study, if you inject the treatment using human cells, you could also transfer genetic problems and diseases from the host to the patient/ recipient. It is quite risky. But with fresh cell therapy, there is hope and it cures all ailments but not an overblown cancer.  The live cell therapy which is pioneered in the 1930s by Dr.  Paul Niehans is gaining popularity among celebrities, public officials and even royalties. 

What do Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Nelson Mandela, Pablo Picasso, Pope Pius XII, US Pres. Harry S. Truman, Prime Minister Charles de Gaulle, German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, King Hirohito of Japan, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and German Soccer Player Franz Beckenbauer have in common? They all underwent an original living cell therapy in the clinic of Prof. Dr. Block or Prof. Dr. Niehans. 

Dr. Paul Niehans is the father of modern living cell therapy. He injected his first cells in 1931 when he was confronted with an acute case of serious glandular malfunctioning. Years later, Dr. Niehans treated Pope Pius XII who appointed him to the Papal Academy of Sciences in 1955 out of gratitude, making him the successor to Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin.

Dr. Siegfried Block studied under Paul Niehans for many years and started using cell therapy around 60 years ago. He then passed his knowledge and expertise to his daughter, Dr. Petra Block, who later took over running the clinic. For her medical studies, she went to University Munich, Germany and Promotion University Nürnberg-Erlangen, Germany (Dr.med./MD). Since 1987 she was a general doctor, specializing in Gynäkologie and Cell Therapy. She studied Fresh Cell Therapy from 1987 to 1991 under her father. In 1991, she became the medical director of the Fresh Cell Therapy clinic Dr. Block, and theD. Siegfried Block GmbH – Center for Living Cell Therapy.

Her son, Dr. Daniel Block, has been working as the Managing Director since 2009. He studied at Florida International University, Miami USA and at the University of Wuerzburg Germany from 2004 to 2009 major in finance. 

With more than 60 years of experience, D. Siegfried Block GmbH & Clinic Dr. Block keeps its own herd of around 700 mountain sheep exclusively for the gaining of living cells. A living cell therapy means that cells and minute cell unions derived from unborn or young mountain sheep are extracted under clinical conditions in its EU-Certified laboratory, suspended in a natural solution and immediately injected into the patient. Around 85 different organs or parts of organs can be extracted. These new injected organ cells will stimulate, revitalize, and restore a patient’s weakened and damaged organ cells.

D. Siegfried Block GmbH & Clinic Dr. Block is always the top choice when it comes to fresh cell therapy because of its ancestry of excellence – from Prof. Niehans, to Dr. Siegfried Block, Dr. Petra Block, and Dr. Daniel Block. Likewise, a flock of hand selected mountain sheep which is closed in the female line for over 50 years is monitored by a veterinarian and laboratory analysis. 

The clinic is highly distinguished from the others because it is the only clinic that extracts and injects the cells under the highest standards in Lenggries, Germany. The cell extraction is under clinical conditions and immediate injection is required to attain the highest efficiency. It boasts of highly experienced professional team – many members trained by Dr. Siegfried Block himself.

5 Rules to save money on air conditioning this summer with Daikin

You know its summer when your armpits are always crying and you can’t stay outside for longer than 2 minutes and not rush to the nearest shade or hurry back inside your house to think whether its really worth going out.

Like it or not the summer heat is back and seems to be hotter than ever. You don’t just need a drink, but an ice cold drink. And if you’re not at the beach near a swimming pool, the best place is just inside the house with the AC turned all the way up.


But while the AC may be enough to cool you down, just be prepared to see your electric bill skyrocket in the the next couple of months.


Luckily, there are a few ways that you can help your air conditioner run better and save you money as the summer months progress.

1.     Clean your aircon- Don’t wait for the middle of the summer to schedule an appointment with the aircon cleaners. Call them now for some preventive maintenance or cleaning. You can check the removable filter and clean them yourself.



2.     Don’t share the cool.  Close the doors, the windows and check the room for hidden escape vents. Don’t let the cold air seep outside your room as it will be harder for your aircon to keep it cool. 



3.     Close the blinds or use heavy curtains. The natural light may be good for photography, but its bad at keeping your room cool. Close those blinds or use darker or thicker curtains to keep the sun and the heat out.

4.     Setting low is a no-go:  Always set your thermostat to the highest temperature you can stand to save the most money. Even a small change in the temperature can save you big bucks.



5.     Switch to a split type aircon:  If you’ve had your aircon for years now, maybe this is the time to get an upgrade-- especially if you haven’t been happy with its performance. Measure the entire area you want to cool down. Window types may be cheaper but those split type ones may be better suited for your home.

Daikin launches the VRV X/A Series at Conrad Hotel on March 2. The event was attended by Daikin executives, media and guests.

In all aspects of the business operations of Daikin, including product development, manufacturing, and sales. Daikin formulates initiative that will sustain and improve the environment. Daikin promotes the development of new products and the innovation of technologies that will lead to a more environmentally healthy world.

To mitigate future global climate change, it is important to take a “the sooner, the better” refrigerant sold. Estimated 27 million tons of CO2 emission reduced. By converting to R32, Daikin projected the reduction of global warming impact in 2030 by approximately 800 million tons of CO2.

Daikin has identified R32 as a very beneficial refrigerant for single and multi-split type air conditioners. R32 is the next-generation refrigerant that has highest cooling power, zero ozone depletion potential, and lowest global warming potential versus other refrigerants in the market. When looking for a new airconditioning for any application, Daikin believes that consumers should not only look for inverter, but consumers should look for R32 inverter. Daikin believes that the transition to R32 will help to meet both the HFC phase down schedule and the HCFC phase out schedule of the Montreal Protocol. Daikin is now in the process of further study to identify a suitable refrigerant for the
other applications.

VRV X/A Series
Exceeding Boundaries with Innovative Energy Savings
The key to innovative energy saving is to increase efficiency during low-load operation. Using data gathered from actual operation, Daikin discovered that air conditioning systems operate at partial – half or less than of 80% of their annual
operation period. This inspired Daikin to develop new technologies to enhance energy efficiency when operating only with few units in a multiple airconditioning system.

Utilizing these technologies, Daikin’s new VRV X and VRV A series raise the standards for energy efficiency. By uniting advanced software and hardware technologies these greatly increased the energy saving during actual
operation. Daikin newest software technology, the VRT
Smart Control. This VRT smart control, optimizes the compressor speed by calculating the required cooling for the entire system and optimal refrigerant temperature based on data sent by each airconditioning unit. With its air volume control, it reduces compressor load. The all new VRV X.
minimizes operation loss. VRT control ensures energy savings and comfortable air conditioning to meet the needs of the consumers.

Daikin’s research and development team continuously improve the VRV system. Incorporating a new hardware technology, a new scroll compressor refrigerant leakage is minimized when operating only with few units in a multiple airconditioning system. Operation loss due to refrigerant leakage is reduced by the new mechanism to ensure stable partial load operation.

For easier installation, Automatic Refrigerant Charge Function automates the charging of the proper refrigerant amount and the closing of shut-off valves with just one press of the switch after pre-charging. Simplified installation eliminates excessive and insufficient refrigerant charge amount due to mistakes in calculation, and this led to higher installation quality.

The VRV X and VRV A is the most advanced air conditioning system in the world and is ideal for large and small spaces.
