“Our week at Villa Estrella-Costa Rica was spectacular,” says Julie and Scott Jones of Fort Worth, Texas. “The Villa is luxurious; the views are unbelievable, and the staff catered to our group’s every whim and need, from food, to drinks, to transportation, to all our activities. We had never vacationed at an all-inclusive villa before – we felt like royalty. Throughout our week, we sailed, snorkeled, paddle-boarded, zip-lined, and hiked a volcano. Between all those activities, we just lazed in various spots around the Villa, floated in the infinity pool, and enjoyed some very soothing massages. The week we spent there could not have been more enjoyable for our group. We’re going back!”

Villa Estrella-Costa Rica is a perfect all-inclusive vacation villa for families and group sizes ranging from 8 to 20 people. The Villa is conveniently located just 25 miles from the newly expanded Liberia International Airport (LIR). The Villa is well situated for guests to enjoy swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, paddle-boarding, and sailing in the warm waters of the Gulf of Papagayo.

Centrally located in the Guanacaste region, guests can easily venture out each day in different directions to experience the various pleasures of jungle zip lining, mud baths, horseback riding, white water river rafting, pristine surfing beaches, and nearby local villages.

Guest activities and adventures are facilitated by Villa Estrella staff for maximum convenience.

Countless written communications are created without much thought because of deadlines and other pressures, even though most companies know that understandable, reader-friendly, and targeted communication is essential.

Customer-friendly letters and emails are a goal for most companies. Corporate language and communication have become extremely important in the marketplace. Companies today strive for customer friendly communication. The goal: Quality documents across the board. How can that be realized?

Legibility, standardization, diversity, and emotional content determine the success of written communication. Pintexx, a software publisher, has developed a unique Microsoft(R) Word Add-In that includes these four dimensions. The software is for all areas of communication and all sectors, including manufacturing, retail, schools and universities, insurance and finance, and government agencies.

The 4D Wording Optimizer informs the user about strengths and weaknesses of a particular text and evaluates the text according to the four quality dimensions. The software delivers suggestions and alternatives. Company requirements and standards for written communication can easily be included in the software and thereby implemented more effectively. A multitude of useful functions helps to write more effective and efficient communication. Clear visualizations provide information about repetitions, the use of passive words, long sentences, comprehension, and if the communication reaches the reader on his or her level, among other things.

Pintexx has been able to create a unique and helpful tool based on the proven standards of the Corporate Wording(R) strategy and the 4-Color approach, as certified by Hans-Peter Forster, founder of Corporate Wording(R) and expert for corporate communication.

Some companies are starting to increase their exports, others are making efforts to broaden their client base domestically; in both cases, the companies are targeting non-English speaking customers.

As of late, Ray Michaels, Marketing Director at Localization, LLC Translations Boston points out that there has been an increase in demand for translation of medical equipment manuals, legal contracts and technical and safety data sheets. “There is a great demand right now for American made services and equipment,” says Ray. “Canada, our closest neighbor, is the No 1 importer of American goods and services. South American, Asian and European clients are also buying US made product so when you sell to a foreign country, all the supporting documentation has to be in the language of the country the product is going to.”

The greatest demand at Localization, LLC Translations Boston are Spanish and French translations. “Which makes sense,” says Ray since Spanish is spoken throughout North and South America and French speaking Canada is only 5 hours away.

When asked about all the available automated translation such as Google Translate and Babel Fish, Mr. Michaels also adds that he doesn’t feel translators and language professionals should be threatened by technological advances.

“Translation industry has evolved into a very diverse industry with services that may not come to mind right away when thinking of translation,” says Ray. “To begin with, the automated translations have a long way to go in terms of accuracy and language grammar. They haven’t yet learned how to decline or conjugate so that’s why I always advise our clients to use these tools for personal needs such as translate an email or sentence or two. Do not use it if the translated document will be published or seen by others. It’s dangerous because you never know what that machine translation can create: it could be offensive and expletive. Companies spend years building their reputation – machine translation can destroy it in seconds. And machine translations would never learn idioms, jokes and the overall spirit of the written text,” adds Ray.

“Let’s not forget,” continues Michaels, “that translation is not the only service that goes into a project: most of our translation projects require formatting, desktop publishing or localization. In addition, some of the clients look to take their message beyond the written word; that’s why Localization, LLC Translations Boston offers such services as transcription of foreign languages, voice over and dubbing.”

Six months after the release of its first application bambinapp, which allows users to send birth announcements from their iPhone, “des p’tits bonheurs” extends the same concept to holiday greetings cards.

“During the holidays, rather than texting their wishes to their relatives, users can now instantly share the joy of the season by sending a festive e-card, thanks to Appygraph,” said Charles Massin, co-founder of “des p’tits bonheurs.”

“For this application, we have expressly created 20 original designs that reflect the holiday spirit. Users can choose amongst illustration-only, or photo-ready designs,” adds Valerie Massin-Hagin, artistic director.

Appygraph uses the same user-friendly interface as bambinapp. Personalized e-cards can be shared on Facebook or by e-mail, or sent by MMS (iOS5 users can send their e-cards for free using iMessage) or other third-party services.

Appygraph is priced at $1.99 and includes 20 unique, personalizable designs (10 Christmas and 10 New Year’s templates). All included designs can be sent as many times to as many people as desired. The application can be downloaded on the App Store.

Adanma Ogumka, World Women Trade Fair Nigeria, Executive Director, announced today that Mallam Mukthar Abubakar Tafawa Balewa will join World Women Trade Fair Nigeria “Building Cultural Economy and Trade” on Multi-Sectorial Job Creation and Wealth Generation Trade Mission to the USA. The goal of the Trade Mission is to identify policy recommendations to help in the development of Nigeria Cultural Economy; opportunities open to Nigeria’s cultural industry under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), institutional collaboration, and best practices in building Cultural Economy, putting gender at the fore front.

“The fact that Mallam Mukthar Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and Honorable Oloye Olajumoke Akinjide are joining us on this trip signifies its importance and the administration’s commitment to poverty eradication and wealth creation, putting gender at the fore front,” Adanma said. “At a leadership panel meeting with Mallam Mukthar Abubakar Tafawa Balewa earlier this month, presenting our poverty reduction program, ShowCase Nigeria Initiative, a project that will develop and upgrade artisan skills, brand and build Nigeria’s Cultural Economy, he offered his commitment. This mission will provide immeasurable contacts, resources, and an understanding of the U.S. Market, and I’m confident will lead to greater exports for Nigeria’s handcrafts, which will in turn create new enterprises, jobs and wealth.”

This 10 day mission will begin by visiting Washington D.C. to establish business contacts and engage in networking opportunities with policymakers, government agencies and business professionals and study cultural development in a modern city.

The delegation will travel to North Carolina, touring rural Appalachia and Cherokee Nation, focusing on rural town revitalization, and cultural economic development practices.

“This is a great opportunity for the delegation to take advantage of new export opportunities in the U.S.,” adds Margaret Galabe, Executive Director, World Women Trade Fair U.S.A.

The Missouri Senate overwhelmingly passed the Made in Missouri Jobs Package with a strong, bipartisan vote on Wednesday, September 14.

Soy Labs, LLC, the premier ingredient supplier delivering high-quality soy ingredients to leading health supplement formulators and manufacturers in the nutrition industry, and managing tenant of the Missouri Plant Science Center (MPSC), is seen for its technological and entrepreneurial thinking that is positioned to spur innovation and economic development in Missouri.

While touring the facility with Ryan Schmidt, Soy Labs president and other Soy Labs executives, Nixon discussed how MOSIRA and the Made in Missouri Jobs Package will create jobs while ensuring continued fiscal discipline and accountability with taxpayer resources.

“By embracing technology and showing the partnership between higher education, technology and entrepreneurship, it clearly will give us the capacity for the long term future,” Nixon said.

Soy Labs relocated from Fairfield, CA, last year, to be the managing tenant of the Missouri Plant Science Center, which is a joint venture of the Missouri Technology Corporation (MTC), the University of Missouri System and the city of Mexico, Mo.

The 25,000 square-foot Missouri Plant Science Center is a shared-use facility where researchers work alongside business and industry experts in a multi-disciplinary environment. The center facilitates the collaboration between scientific and entrepreneurial minds to turn the latest research into functional real-world applications and consumer goods.

Soy Labs recently announced a new joint research and development partnership with Missouri-based Reliv International, a direct selling company that develops, manufactures and markets nutritional products that promote optimal health and will provide greater access to the latest soy, and plant biotechnology research.

“This is a first step toward the Missouri Plant Science Center’s goal to strengthen the state’s biotechnology industry, create jobs and improve Missouri’s global economic competitiveness,” Schmidt said.

“Reliv attended the Missouri Plant Science Center last Friday, to support Gov. Nixon’s economic development efforts,” said Ryan Montgomery, Reliv’s executive vice president of worldwide sales.

“Reliv’s partnership with Soy Labs is an outgrowth of those efforts in the areas of nutritional science and technology. Our partnership will give Reliv the most advanced and effective soy ingredients on the market,” Montgomery added.

Soy Labs partnering institutions have received research funding from the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Defense, the American Institute for Cancer Research, and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council as well as other organizations.

As one of the key pillars of the Made in Missouri Jobs Package, MOSIRA would create a funding source to spark growth in research and technology enterprises by capturing a small percentage of the growth in state revenue over a base year from a designated group of Missouri science and innovation companies.

The Missouri Technology Corporation will administer the MOSIRA funds. MTC will reinvest the MOSIRA funding through loans and other means to generate further economic growth in the science and innovation industry sectors, with emphasis on biotechnology and life sciences. Funding will be reinvested in a wide range of programs designed to create jobs, nurture start-ups, and bring science and technology companies to the state.

“Here in Missouri, we must keep our economy moving forward by embracing science and technology and investing in research and development,” said Nixon.

“Having noticed that births are often announced from cell phones by text messaging, we created bambinapp as an alternative to allow users to send a colorful, stylish electronic announcement,” said Charles Massin, co-founder of “des p’tits bonheurs.”

According to Valerie Massin-Hagin, artistic director, “The iPhone screen highlights the vibrant colors, adding magic and joy to the birth announcement e-card.”

Bambinapp is a free application that includes 4 free announcement templates. Extra designs – arranged under the categories of girl, boy, or twins – may be purchased for $1.99 for a set of 10 designs (6 for twins). The application can be downloaded on the App Store.

The ultimate in living green, La Montana home sites are on prime Costa Rica real estate, offering sweeping views of crystal blue seas and lush rainforests teeming with wildlife. Residents can custom-build their dream getaway on home sites starting as low as $70,000, or choose a finished custom home in the $300,000′s.

Residents will also have access to the newly-open amenities at The Club at Coco Bay, including a state-of-the art tennis and fitness center, a 37-meter tropical pool with waterfalls and water slides, and a private beach club on Ocotal Beach.

On any given day at The Club at Coco Bay, people from all over the world can be found relaxing by the pool, playing tennis, riding jet skis, mingling on the beach, and watching the monkeys swing around the club grounds.

La Montana is close to shops, restaurants, medical facilities, the exquisite Four Seasons Resort and an international airport. Strong Internet access plus abundant non-stop flights to the U.S. make telecommuting easy.

“We are proud that La Montana allows a cross-section of residents, from teachers to doctors to empty-nesters, to escape hectic American life and re-energize in their beautiful Costa Rica homes,” says Julian Rembert, founder of CRDG. “It’s wise to buy property in Costa Rica, with optimum value and lower investment costs than beach homes in Hawaii, California, Florida and other U.S. coastal cities.”

Low residential taxes, unrestricted ownership for non-nationals and excellent relations with the U.S. make Costa Rica real estate a good investment. The Financial Times of London recently named Costa Rica one of the most attractive locations for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Central America and the Caribbean.

CRDG streamlines the process of buying property in Costa Rica at the La Montana development. It is easy for La Montana owners to secure comprehensive property management services while they are away, or if the property is used as an income-generating vacation rental.

For more information on owning a home in Costa Rica, go to www.lamontanacostarica.com, email gc.crdg@gmail.com or call 800-383.0903.

It seems to be Brazil’s time in the sun. In the next decade, the country will host two international events, the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, which have investors salivating and competing for new profitable business opportunities. A report from The Economist says, “Brazil has been transformed from ‘country of tomorrow’ to ‘once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity.’”

Added to the mix is a wealth of natural resources including the offshore oil reserves termed the “pre-salt” (Brazil is poised to become an oil exporter), leading investor interest to be at an all-time high. According to the boss of a big American private equity firm, “Brazil is absolutely the most attractive emerging market right now.”

However, barriers to doing business in Brazil remain. Investors face difficulties in understanding Brazilian bureaucracy. “One of the problems foreign investors are facing is the lack of reliable, non-partisan information on political and economic conjuncture,” says Dr. Murillo de Aragao. “I created the Brazilian Intelligence service in order to meet the ever-growing demand for intelligence on the Brazilian political and economic landscape.”

Brazilian Intelligence (www.brazilintell.com) was founded in 2009 as a division of Arko Advice Research, one of the leading Brazilian companies in the fields of public policy analysis and international affairs since 1982. The company is based in Brasilia, Brazil’s capital, with 29 years of experience and a well-established network of decision-makers in the Brazilian political scene.
