Mr. Osio has been one of the most prominent individuals in the region’s commercial law and banking sectors. He is a specialist in finance, international education, and banking and a graduate of the University of Catolica. David also attended the Instituto De Estudios Superiores Administrativos (IESA) where he gained expertise in investment management.

 

One of the successful companies that Mr. Osio has founded is the Davos Real Estate Group. The firm has been offering various real estate solutions to investors. It recently announced the release of a newly developed mobile phone application that is known as Davos Cap Calculator. David Osio and Gerard González, who is a company director, spearheaded the launch. The new program will be useful to the company’s clients since it can calculate the various financial aspects that are involved in a particular property. Investors can, therefore, foresee the outcome of an investment before they engage in it. The Davos REG is a unit of the Davos Financial Group, which is an international company that offers excellent monetary guidance. The company was established two decades ago, and it has devoted its services to solving the requirements of the customers.

 

Gerard Gomez González was the Davos REG director who was in charge of the development of the application. He worked with the technicians throughout the process to ensure that it was up to the required standard. The Davos Cap Calculator has been enabling its users to approximate the profits that various real estate ventures can offer. The mobile software has been developed to be compatible with iOS and Android. Anyone who wishes to try it out can download it from Google Play and the AppStore.

 

Davos REG’s primary objective is to provide necessary guidance to investors in the real estate sector. According to Mr. Osio, the Davos Cap Calculator supplements the efforts of the company of achieving its goals by guiding clients as they invest in the real estate industry of the United States. Individuals who seek the services of the firm’s software will be able to predict the results of a venture before they invest. Davos REG plans to launch other applications, and an example is the Mortgage Calculator for calculating mortgage costs such as the interest of a loan.

Eric Lefkofsky: A Brilliant Mind, A Benevolent Heart

On December 25, 2016 by mainmaineman With 0 Comments - Business, Entrepreneur

Bill and Sandy Lefkofsky had no way of knowing that while in a Detroit, Michigan hospital on Tuesday, September 2, 1969 their newborn son, Eric Paul Lefkofsky would grow up and change the world. From his early days of selling carpet as a freshman in college to one of his most recent accomplishments of co-founding Tempus, a technology based company that focuses on providing physicians the tools to deliver a more personalized and targeted approach in the treatment options and courses for cancer patients, Eric Lefkofsky is certainly the upper echelon of respectable and reputable philanthropists alive today. His passion for people, like his success in business ventures, abounds and is clearly observed by his many accomplishments and contributions.

The Lefkofsky Family Foundation, a charitable trust formed in 2006 by Eric Lefkofsky and his wife Elizabeth is an example of Eric’s philanthropic ethos. The key focal points for the Foundation’s grant consideration covers a myriad of topics such as: health care, education, medical research, human rights, as well as art and culture. One of the most heavily targeted areas of recipients of this grant surround art and culture, and are in Lefkofsky’s hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Significant focus is also placed on education and programs designed specifically to enhance student learning, preparing both student and teacher for the future generations.

However, the charitable arm of Eric Lefkofsky reaches far beyond the borders of Chicago, and exceeds both state and country boundaries with his selfless commitment to helping others. The Giving Pledge is but one example of such. The Giving Pledge is comprised of the world’s wealthiest people who officially pledge to dedicate more than half of their earnings or wealth while they are still alive or in a will to notable charities or causes. The main reason behind The Giving Pledge is to promote and increase the caliber of life for humanity on all fronts.

As the co-founder and CEO of Groupon, along with other successful companies, it is abundantly clear this guy knows how to make money. While that truth is undeniable, the biggest and most meaningful actions of this brilliant billionaire stem from what is in his heart regarding helping others live better. Considering the life, education, success and accomplishments of this man, this superior example of a human being, one thought continually resonates loud and clear: Thank G-d for Eric Lefkofsky.

What Government Is the Best?

On December 22, 2016 by mainmaineman With 0 Comments - Business, Lawyers

A lot of people debate the question about what government style is the best. Thankfully, political scientists can objectively observe which countries are happy, thriving, and wealthy. The problem is not observing the evidence. It is accepting it. According to the Central Intelligence Agency, the countries in the world with the highest average per capita GDP are Qatar ($132,900), Macau ($101,300), Luxembourg ($99,500), Liechtenstein ($89,400), Bermuda ($85,700), and Singapore ($85,400).

What do these countries do differently than the majority who are not as wealthy? Qatar has large supplies of oil. Its government is an absolute monarchy. In an age of democracy, this is an interesting thing to note. Macau is a special administrative region of China known for its casinos. It is a presidential limited democracy, according to the CIA. Luxembourg is a constitutional monarchy with low taxes. Liechtenstein is also a constitutional monarchy with low taxes. Bermuda is a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom with low taxes. Singapore is a parliamentary republic with a harsh justice system.

All of these countries are not typical democracies. They mostly have low taxes, and a strong unified head of state. A disproportionate quantity of the richest countries in the world have antiquated kings at their top. Something must be said for the merits of monarchy. Although since the American and French Revolutions, monarchies have fallen out of favor, they seem to contribute to the wealth of a country. Another common variable with the wealthiest countries is a strong criminal justice system and low taxes. Many of the countries on the list of the world’s wealthiest countries have been investigated as illegal tax havens by more bloated and poorer Western democracies. The wealthy of the world like to flee to these fairy tale kingdoms to preserve their booty.

We can conclude that if you want to maximize the wealth of your country, at least on a per capita basis, you should have a strong non democratic monarchy that has low taxes and a strong criminal justice system. Although this conclusion might be unpopular, it is what the data indicates.

Sujit Choudhry is an internationally renowned expert in constitutional and comparative law. Designing governments that work is a problem that people have debated for centuries. Looking at the data helps us draw wise conclusions that can maximize the prosperity for all citizens of a country.

One thing that could be said about coworking spaces in New York is that there is a lot of variety to them. For one thing, there are different models and different customs of the coworking space. Therefore, it is important for one to find the type of co-working space that he wants. There are a lot of different features and factors to look at when it comes to the co-working space. However, in order to find the co-working space that works the best for him, it is important for him to figure out what he needs from an NYC coworking space.

 

One thing that people need to look at when they are looking for a coworking space is the time that it is open. Some shared office spaces are not open for 24 hours. Therefore, people need to find a way to work around that if they need a co-working space. While no one is going to be awake for 24 hours of any given day, it is important for people to know the times that are right for them. This will give them the time that they need to make sure that they get the needed amount of work done

 

If one is looking for a 24 hour NYC shared office space, then Workville is one space that is worth checking out. They have offices that are for rent. The amount of money is low enough for people to be able to use and still make the needed profits for expansion.

 

There are also some co-working spaces that are free. However, the person that does work in those spaces do have to make contributions. One thing people have to be ready to contribute is his skills and his friendship. People are willing to work together in coworking spaces because of the environment. They also get to enjoy some of the major benefits and amenities such as Wi-Fi, lounging areas and special offices.

On November 1, 2016 by mainmaineman With 0 Comments - Business

Kate Hudson has been a figure at the box office for years and recently her Fabletics line has become popular with women of all ages. This year she has combined with the Council of Fashion Designers of America to offer a pink outfit during the month of October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Proceeds of the offering will be able to aid Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Initiative sponsored by the CFDA, based in the U.K.

As this year’s ambassador for the organization, Kate Hudson’s Fabletics line is offering an original capsule collection. The seamless outfit features a pair of capri leggings, two tank tops and a bralette in a bright and bold pink color. She has said she wanted to offer a collection that women would love to wear as well as being able to make an important contribution to the breast cancer cause. Low income, immigrant and minority women will benefit from the generosity by having access to important preventive care, screening, diagnosis and necessary treatment. Hudson has said she thinks insurance for screenings should also kick in at a much younger age than is currently allowed.

Hudson is the mother of two children and currently stars in theatres in the motion picture Deepwater Horizon. The popular Fabletics collection that offers stylish work out wear has been available a little less than three years. Hudson and the designers for the line work to create clothing that is comfortable and looks great at the same time.

Past industry ambassadors for the CFDA have included models Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Karolina Kurkova.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a designation by major breast cancer charities that brings attention to the condition and the steps that are necessary to screen and diagnose the deadly disease among both women and men.

What Mike Baur Plans to Do with Swiss Startup Factory

On September 28, 2016 by mainmaineman With 0 Comments - Business

Chances are you’ve been reading about the Swiss Startup Factory because you are an entrepreneur and you’re curious. You may be aware that Mike Baur, the co-founder of SSF is forging ahead with this endeavor because he is more passionate about helping the young entrepreneur get started. Baur has more than 20 years’ experience in the banking industry which has given him the insight he needs to help startups get off the ground with their finances as well as to help them hone their long-term vision.

 

The Swiss Startup Factory was founded just a few years ago in 2014 ,and since that time it has become the foundation for which young entrepreneurs get their start. This Zurich-based organization is helping startups get the counsel they need to get started, as well as their long-term vision to grow and gain momentum. Any startup needs fundraising to get moving, and Baur along with Hartweg can work together to make big things happen in Switzerland for these young businessmen and women that are anxious to strike out on their own.

 

Mike Baur and Hartweg credit the strength of their organization with their large network of entrepreneurs as well those that would be potential customers and advisors along the way. The accelerator program that is offered by Baur and Hartweg is for three months. This is like a three month training period, allowing entrepreneurs the opportunity to have access to the best mentors, advisors, and even prime office space in the heart of the city of Zurich. The core concept of the factory was to build a network of entrepreneurs that could make a sound contribution to the business world, by offering startups the cream of the crop when it comes to the financial foundation of their business. The advising is a vital part of any startup, and with wise counsel and coaching Baur believes that he has given entrepreneurs everything they need to get off to a great start.

 

Ambition is a great thing, but it’s not always enough to get a business started or to keep it running. The more sound advice a startup gets in the beginning, the more likely they are to have long-term success. Many entrepreneurs start up only with a wish that they might have a successful launch. They don’t always realize how competitive the marketplace is and what is needed in order to achieve real success.

 

 

Kate Hudson And Fabletics Prove They Know How To Make Fashionable Active Wear

On September 18, 2016 by mainmaineman With 0 Comments - Business

Actress Kate Hudson is certainly no fool when it comes to style, and she knows that active wear like leggings have pushed denim out of the top selling arena. The work-out gear company she co-founded, Fabletics exploded onto the e-commerce scene in 2013 and has never looked back.

Fabletics sells brightly colored and patterned yoga pants, tees, tanks, leggings, bra crop tops, swimsuits and even sexy, comfy dresses. The concept features a subscription membership with personalized boutiques. The idea is working nicely, because Fabletics already has more than one million VIP members located around the world.

Fabletics has two other co-founders who happen to be labeled branding geniuses. They are business partners Adam Goldenberg and Don Ressler who are thrilled with the success of their active wear retailer. Things are proceeding “just fab-u-lously” online, that the trio are planning to open up to 100 brick and mortar retail Fabletics stores within the next five years. Fabletics is covering all the fashion bases, so to speak.

Fabletics’ motto or philosophy is “Live your passion,” something Kate Hudson strongly believes. She is loved by many as a Hollywood star, but she is also admired as a busy mom of two young boys, living a “regular” lifestyle like most of us. She relies on stylish, comfortable clothing that can take her from dawn into night. Fabletics appeals to that fit lifestyle and makes on-trend active wear that is affordable, functional, flattering and with Kate Hudson’s stamp of approval.

The key to Fabletics’ success might also lie in how it is made. The so-called middle man is removed from the picture. Instead, every design of the label is produced in-house at the company’s L.A. headquarters. That means they can roll out many new looks each month and pass the value on to their customers.

To attract new subscribers, Fabletics offers the first active wear outfit for just $25 with free shipping. As a VIP member, shoppers will save up to 50% off regular pricing and earn points towards free loyalty items.

A VIP does not have to shop each month; that choice is always up to them. To avoid being charged every month, the VIP only has to click on the “Skip the Month” button in their boutique. If they don’t take action, then their credit card will be charged $49.95 on the 6th until they cancel.
