ABOUT MEN. Father's Day is June 17th and is the perfect time to highlight a fabulous father.

It was easy for me to select Daniele Struppa, president of Chapman University, as a father, first and foremost. He is so proud of his two daughters, 13-year-old Arianna and 11-year-old Athena, and credits his wife Lisa as a wonderful wife and mother. It is a heartwarming story.

Twin brothers Anthony and Sebastian Musco (Sebastian is our own S. Paul Musco) are featured in a story about their battle with heart disease and how both of them were given a "second life" late in life (they are 92 years old!). Thanks to American Heart Association research carried out by Edwards Lifesciences, the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement was inserted in their hearts. It is much less invasive than openheart surgery, and both men are doing extremely well.

A men's trip to Iowa is featured for all you baseball lovers out there. The Field of Dreams tourist attraction where the movie was filmed is a hot item, and there are major and

miles of trails for hiking, a lake, cabins, rock climbing for climbers and rappellers (don't miss the "Devil's Backbone!), trout fishing, and more.

Lastly, we feature three restaurants with "hot" bars for gentlemen to frequent - right here in Newport Beach! Check out SideDoor, Stag Bar + Kitchen and Fig & Olive for an array of signature cocktails, hard-to-find whiskeys and local craft beers. Plus, the modern and classic pub fare is worth the visit!

ROAD TRIPPING IOWA THE PERFECT STATE FOR A MEN’S TRIP

ARTICLE DAVID DURAN

22

Newport Beach Lifestyle | June 2018

AT 199 MILES LONG AND 310 MILES WIDE, IOWA IS THE 26TH LARGEST STATE IN THE UNITED STATES, MAKING IT AN OBVIOUS PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR A STATEWIDE ROAD TRIP. It may not be possible to visit all 947 cities within the state in one go, but visiting the 99 counties, or at least driving through them, is definitely more realistic. The state is filled with rich history, including being part of the Louisiana Purchase, a deal arranged between President Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte of France in 1803 that brought a vast tract of the continent under the control of the United States. Lewis & Clark also were among the first explorers to visit the area, and visitors to Iowa can retrace the steps of the famed duo as well as visit monuments and museums throughout the state that pay homage to their journey. Whether it’s history, outdoor adventures, hunting and fishing, arts & culture, wine and beer, baseball or scenic drives, there’s a little bit of everything in Iowa.

Below are some ideas to help inspire your Iowa road trip for you and your men friends and/or your sons.

04 BACKBONE STATE PARK Iowa’s first state park, dedicated in 1920, is known for its “Devil’s Backbone,” a steep, narrow ridge of bedrock. The park includes 21 miles of trail, a lake, camping, cabins and rock climbing. There are 125 campsites located in two campgrounds within the park. Backbone State Park is well known for trout fishing in its cold, clear, quick-flowing stream. Richmond Springs, the source 323.522.4876 vacasa.com/newportbeach

that feeds the stream, pumps out more than 2,000 gallons per minute and is located near the north end of the park. Anglers can explore the stream through a variety of shady and easy accessible trails, portions of which are paved. Backbone also has 21 miles of hiking and multi-use trails. Visitors can hike along trails winding through old twisted and windblown cedars and up rough, rocky staircases to one of the highest points in northeast Iowa, the "Devil's Backbone." Climbers and rappellers will find many challenging cliffs of rugged dolomite limestone throughout the park.

The most popular rock escarpments to climb are located near the Backbone Trail.

The two immediately bonded.

Every day they visit Starbucks, which they jokingly call “Starbocchio” in tribute to their Italian roots.

DANIELE’S ITALIAN HERITAGE Daniele was born in Milan, Italy to civil lawyers Giuseppe and Emilia Struppa.

“We had a simple life and a very happy childhood,” he shares. “There wasn’t a lot of money for shoes and clothes, but my younger sister and I had free access to the book store and the classical music store.

Our parents were serious intellectuals, and we had a huge library in our home.”

FINDING THE PERFECT MATE While at George Mason, Daniele met Lisa Sparks, a fellow professor of communication at the university.

“I liked her, but knew she was happily married, so when I heard she was getting a divorce and I was on leave and climbing Mt. Elbrus in Russia, I rushed to Moscow, where she was working with a research team, and gave her a surprise kiss in Red Square.”

LIFE IN ORANGE COUNTY Provost at Chapman for one year, Daniele then became chancellor, where he remained until Doti retired and he became president in September, 2016.

Lisa, a Ph.D. Chapman professor in communication, was elected by the faculty in 2015 to be Dean of Communication. Together, the two represent Chapman in a passionate and engaging way, none more so than Daniele.

“The community has been incredibly warm and welcoming to me,” he says. “It is an honor to represent an institution of this quality.”

The family has a busy life, but there is always family time. Daniele says of Lisa: “The day I married Lisa was the best day of my life! She is a fabulous partner and a very loving mother. And, I’m very proud that she’s running for a seat on the Orange County Board of Education, something she cares about deeply.”

Lisa, in turn, says, “Daniele is awesome!

CHRIS LARSEN In 1997, Chris Larsen co-founded the mortgage lender e-Loan and eight years later founded Prosper, a peer-to-peer lender valued at more than $1 billion. In 2012, Larsen, with the help of his co-founder Jed McCaleb, founded Ripple.

The blockchain technology-based project solves the security and speed problems of the peer-to-peer transactions. From its inception, not only Prosper benefited from it, but also any financial institution that facilitates international payments. Among its more than 100-plus customers are Mitsubishi Financial, Bank of America and Santander.

Today, Larsen, 57, no longer serves as executive chairman and CEO of Ripple (XRP), although he is still an active participant holding a 17% stake.

Larsen, a Stanford M.B.A and veteran Silicon Valley operator, took and still holds the top spot with a net worth of approximately $8 billion in February, 2018, and $3 billion today.Â

Changpeng Zhao Changpeng Zhao, 41, known as CZ, is Binance’s founder and CEO. As a son of two teachers that emigrated to Vancouver, Canada in the late 1980’s, Zhao worked flipping burgers at McDonald’s and at a gas station to help with the family expenses. After studying computer science at Montreal’s McGill University, Zhao spent time in both Tokyo and New York. He first built a system for matching trade orders on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, then at Bloomberg’s Tradebook, where he developed software for futures trading.

Binance’s initial coin offering (ICO) took place in July, 2017. Today, ten months later, the platform has 6 million users, making it the world’s largest crypto-currency exchange. In addition, its value has gone up to $1.3 billion. As the largest owner of Binance tokens, Zhao plans to use 20% of his profits every quarter to shrink Binance’s token capitalization by 50%. This will only move him to the top of the crypto world’s richest. CZ’s crypto net worth is calculated to be around $2 billion as of February, 2018.

Born in 1906, Temianka displayed prodigious talent before crossing the Atlantic to attend the Curtis Institute of Music.

He performed in high-profile venues around the world, making connections that ultimately helped extract his parents from Nazi captivity and later, a Fascist prison.

“Human connection is important for violins,” De Granda explains. “Frequent vibration encourages the violin to ‘waken’ and its tone to mature. Without human conditioning, a violin cannot achieve its full potential.”

At every level, music is a complex and profound relationship.

The violin is the touchstone to this trove of experiences.Henri’s fascinating legacy also lives on through the university’s Temianka

“Music — it’s created on the spot. It’s happening right now, it’s what you make of it,” says Daniel Temianka, Henri’s son.

why Daniel and his wife, Chapman trustee Zeinab Dabbah (JD ’12), entrusted the Henri Temianka legacy to the Chapman community by establishing the Temianka Archives, Professorship and String Studies Scholar program.

“When I hear students play … what I hear much more than music is that the students are creating,” Daniel says. “They’re discovering it — they’re developing a relationship with it.”

A LIFETIME, AN EXPERIENCE With great care, Nelson takes the violin out of its case. There’s no accidental twanging of the strings, no bumping of the neck.

“It has brought me the greatest amount of satisfaction and joy into my life,” he says, reflecting on his journey learning to play the violin.

luminaries from every place imaginable.

Take, for example, a letter critiquing Temianka’s conducting of famed Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 14 – from Shostakovich himself, who wrote: “In general the performance is wonderful…if you take into consideration all my remarks, it seems to me, that the performance would be even better.”

Temianka Project Archivist Nick Dantes says it’s important for young performers to see this kind of communication, however critical.

“It shows how artists talked to each other about music,” says Dantes.

The New Regulations for the ICO Phenomenon ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY ANA LAUNES

AN INITIAL COIN OFFERING, ALSO COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS AN ICO, IS A FUNDRAISING MECHANISM IN WHICH NEW PROJECTS SELL THEIR UNDERLYING CRYPTO TOKENS IN EXCHANGE FOR BITCOIN AND ETHER. It’s somewhat like an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in which investors purchase shares of a company.

ICOs are a relatively new phenomenon but have quickly become a dominant topic of discussion within the blockchain community.

Many view ICO projects as unregulated securities that allow founders to raise an unjustified amount of capital, while others argue it is an innovation in the traditional venture-funding model. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is re-examining the funding models of many ICOs. The most important criteria to consider is whether or not the token passes the Howey Test. If it does, it must be treated as a security and is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the SEC. StartEngine is the leading regulated ICO (Initial Coin Offering) 2.0 platform in the U.S., connecting everyday investors with tomorrow’s progressive companies. StartEngine has raised capital for more than 150 companies and has nearly 140,000 registered investors. The company based in LA was created in 2014 by Howard Marks and is committed to revolutionizing the ways companies raise capital.

At the ICO 2.0 conference in April in Santa Monica, business leaders from around the world discussed the next phase of the marketplace: how companies can sell security tokens using exemptions from registration under the Securities Act. With more than 1,000 attendees, 40 speakers and panelists, and 20 ICO pitches, the event was a huge success. Keynote speakers 36

for security tokens and how they will be traded on the secondary market.

“Much has changed since November with the SEC taking action and issuing subpoenas to existing ICOs. It’s more important than ever that the industry learns about the ICO 2.0 and how to move forward with government regulation along the path to liquidity,” said Howard Marks, co-founder and CEO of StartEngine.

/// 04

Companies today are starting to learn how to use the JOBS Act exemptions and stay out of trouble when launching their ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings). At ICO 2.0, conference-goers learned how funds can be raised and how funds need to be managed and disclosed. Some of these regulations or exemptions are: ••Regulation A+ allows companies to raise up to $50 Million per year. It requires a two-year audit and a SEC qualification, which can take up to 3-4 months to get and costs around $100,000 in legal and financial services. The great thing about this regulation is that the shares are immediately tradeable after they are sold and delivered. Due to the high cost, this is a great regulation for larger businesses.

/// 05

••Regulation Crowdfunding allows companies to raise up to $1.07 million per year and is faster to implement and far less expensive ($5,000 to $20,000). It is ideal for smaller companies.

These two exemptions can be paired with other exemptions that allow accredited investors only. These accredited investors can contribute with unlimited amounts without affecting the total allowable amount under these exemptions. These exemptions are: ••Regulation D 506 (c) allows companies to raise unlimited amounts from accredited investors. There are not specific requirements about what needs to be disclosed and the SEC is not involved. The shares become tradeable

/// 06

after one year, and the cost is minimal.

••Regulation S is like the previous one but specifically used for international accredited investors. This regulation is not necessary as international investors can also be accepted under Regulation D 506. Many companies prefer regulation D 506 because it blocks US investors from seeing it.

The heart valve was developed due to American Heart Associationfunded research carried out by Edwards Lifesciences. The procedure is a less invasive procedure than open-heart surgery, which allows a new valve to be inserted with the native, diseased aortic valve (see diagrams).

Paul and his brother Anthony were among 10 children born to Carmello and Lucia Musco in Providence, Rhode Island. The twins, now 92 years old, joined the U.S. Navy during World War II, with Anthony remaining to

Paul is founder and board chair of 44-year-old Gemini Industries and continues to go to work every day. Having had the valve procedure at Hoag Hospital on April 13, 2013, he lauds doctors Haskell and Raney for their expertise, having also implemented nine stints. Paul visited Edwards and met the people who designed the valve to thank them.

“It’s been a big success,” he says. “I feel like a young man and can’t wait to be 100!”

Paul says his brother had the procedure a few months ago at Walter Reed Hospital and is doing great. They are very close and Skype every night.

“Life is great!” smiles a very grateful Paul.
