4get-me-not transforms lives of traumatised people
Ask for wisdom from the elderlies and thou shall get lots. Be involved in community with them, and thou shall get more. Julia, since age 13, began accompanying her grandfather to periodic events meant for those who, at least, have gone through the onset of neurodegenerative diseases that have, according to most recent data, soared to over 55 million since the notorious Novel Coronavirus 2020. Turned volunteer caregiver four years henceforth, Julia told Gulf Today: 'Gratitude is a very big thing because we do not realise the changes that happen with age until we are actually around people. The difference with my grandpa when I was 10 to now. He is a different person especially now that he has dementia.' 'Spending time with his friend Tony (name changed) even now that my grandpa is back in Italy, with these activities. I see Shush (name changed) who used to actively dance. She is now on wheelchair. We realise how many things in our daily life that we do not think about. We like to walk. Then, we would be unable to. These have changed my perspective,' she continued. Concerning community involvement, Julia who plans of expanding her group of volunteers, presently composed of her Dubai College clique – Eve, Molly, Sofia, and Tara – replied: 'It is important especially in Dubai where there is a mix of cultures. We have our own communities. I never would have thought to be a part of this. Make friends with people much older than me from other nationalities. I learn.' Prior to the conversation, on the grand piano for three classical pieces – 'Fur Elise' by German Ludwig van Beethoven and 'Minute Waltz' by Polish Frederic Chopin – as well as the score for the 2004 Japanese animated photoplay 'Howl's Moving Castle,' – 'Merry-Go-Round-Of-Life' by Japanese Joe Hisaishi, was Jia Loh Kumar. The Singaporean, trained since age five, was hopeful that the classical pieces 'offered a moment of peace or sparked a memory for everyone. Music has a unique way of reaching people beyond words. Being a part of an initiative that brings comfort and connection, especially to those living with Alzheimer's, is very meaningful to me. It reminds me that even the smallest efforts may have a quiet but lasting impact.' Incidentally, glee immediately registered on the face of one of two wheelchair-bound ladies, when she was already near Kumar – upon her request. Both teenagers were at a Bingo-Dance Socials for people exhibiting Alzheimer's Disease. It was part of a year-long project by the not-for-profit social enterprise, 4get-me-not and the Dusit Thani-Dubai's 'Tree of Life' philosophy; which, hotel general manager Prateek Kumar, explained, is inclusion, sustainability, and community engagement in action 'built on authenticity, intention, and care.' 'Oh yes. Some of the over 150 members we have since the beginning are still with us. One is already in the late '70s. Expats. Professionals. Business owners. Most had traumatic experiences. Some have diabetes. Some with heart problems. Through the years they have become talkative. Some, more talkative. They sleep better now. That is what we want,' said 25-year Dubai resident Desiree Vlekken. Their numbers astronomically spiked during the pandemic because of isolation and depression. Vlekken established with her husband and their young child, 4get-me-not for Alzheimer's Disease/Dementia/Aging/Support for Caregivers awareness, in 2013. Two years after her father in the Philippines had been diagnosed with deteriorating memory loss. The first two elderly homes that welcomed the Vlekken Family for their mission and vision of awareness and proactive measures against Alzheimer's Disease were the ones in 'Ajman and Sharjah.' Vlekken acknowledged the elderlies' pro-activeness: 'It has been by word-of-mouth that we have grown. They talk about their bonding experiences with others.' First timer Victoria who heard about 'them at the church would definitely return.' From the clinical standpoint, Al Zahra Hospital (Dubai) Neurology consultant Dr. Miguel Nacher, commented: 'Music-based interventions, proved to reduce agitation, improve mood and enhance quality of life. It is a meaningful tool in both the prevention and management of cognitive decline. It is non-invasive, accessible and cost-effective. Bingo, when non-commercially played, is a valuable tool to support brain wellness as we age.'

High End Munich 2025: A Glimpse into the Future of Audio Excellence
The curtains have risen on High End Munich 2025, Europe's largest exhibition dedicated to premium audio technology. Hosted from May 15–18 at the MOC Event Center Messe München, this year's show marks the end of an era—starting in 2026, the legendary event will relocate to Vienna. With over 1,000 brands and 500+ exhibitors from more than 40 countries, the expo spans an impressive 30,000 square meters of cutting-edge audio innovation. As always, the team is reporting live from the show floor, bringing you insider access to the hottest launches and standout moments. Stay tuned to our social channels for daily updates, in-depth reviews, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content. This article will be updated regularly throughout the event! ADVERTISEMENT Noble Audio We kicked off the day at the Noble Audio booth, where we met with Kai Moulton, the brand's Marketing Director and nephew of founder John 'The Wizard' Moulton. Known for pushing the limits of portable audio, Noble continues to fuse advanced technology with sophisticated design. This year, all eyes are on the new FoKus Apollo — a wireless over-ear headphone featuring a hybrid system that combines a dynamic driver and a planar magnetic transducer. With support for the latest codecs and active noise cancellation, the Apollo offers an immersive, audiophile-grade experience. Curious to explore their current lineup? Click the link to discover more. Dan Clark Audio One of the busiest booths belonged to Dan Clark Audio, where the founder himself greeted visitors and showcased the brand's newest release — the Noire XO. Already stirring buzz among attendees, this model is a testament to the company's commitment to innovation in headphone design. From planar magnetic classics to electrostatic marvels, the full range is on display, each product reflecting a unique engineering philosophy. Dan Clark will be on-site over the weekend to introduce the Noire XO personally and answer audience questions — be sure to follow us on Instagram for insider content. ZMF A perennial favorite, the ZMF booth offers a sensory escape. Handcrafted in the suburbs of Chicago, ZMF headphones are built with carefully selected woods, natural leather, magnesium alloys, and resins. The result? A truly bespoke listening experience, tailored for serious audiophiles. Each pair is as unique in sound as it is in appearance, turning ZMF into a collector's brand. Discover the full collection via the link. RME Known for their no-frills design and unwavering performance, RME chose not to launch new products this year—and that's exactly the point. The German manufacturer believes in refinement over reinvention, maintaining equipment that already meets the highest professional standards. RME continues to be the go-to for studios and audio engineers who demand absolute reliability and exceptional usability. You can explore their full catalog via the link. Final Audio It was a pleasure to revisit Final Audio, now back in our store lineup. The Japanese brand has long stood apart for its emotive approach to audio. Rather than chasing numbers and specs, Final Audio focuses on music's ability to move the soul. Each pair is meticulously tuned by hand, designed to deliver a deeply personal, emotionally resonant sound. Come experience their over-ear collection now available in stores. Meze Hailing from Romania, Meze Audio continues to win over music lovers with their blend of technical mastery and artistic design. What began as a dream to build the ultimate headphones has evolved into a world-renowned brand. At the expo, Meze debuted the Poet, their new flagship planar magnetic model. Early impressions hint at a game-changer in high-end audio. Pre-orders and full specs are available via the link. WiiM If you're seeking simplicity in building a home audio setup, WiiM streamers are an excellent place to start. Compact, user-friendly, and budget-conscious, these devices take the hassle out of Hi-Fi. Setup takes minutes, and their intuitive interface appeals to both newcomers and seasoned audiophiles. The WiiM booth is a great opportunity to explore current offerings — and all models are available now online and in stores. Also published on Medium. Notice an issue?
