Fortress Investment Group is a multinational organization that is based in New York City, United States. It is one of the most recognized asset managers in the industry that has been in operation for almost three decades. The longstanding organization formed by experienced asset managers such as Wes Edens, Peter Briger, and Randal Nardone has proved to be consistent over time. The three executive leaders have vast experience given that they have been working in the financial industry for a more extended period.

One of the main strategies that have helped Fortress Investment Group to overcome competition from other organizations is its ability to focus on customers, which is something that other asset managers were not doing before the start of this company. The company decided that its primary goal has been to help the customers to manage their assets professionally. According to the leaders at Fortress Investment Group, customers help the organization run, and as such, they have to be treated with the dignity they deserve.

To meet the customers’ needs, the organization decided to implement a technological system that would ensure that the company helps serve a large number of customers within a short period. The company would ensure that no member of the public would visit the company premises and leave before their particular needs have been addressed. Many of the customers who visited the organization highlighted how they were treated professionally and got whatever they needed.

After developing a plan that involved addressing the needs of the customers, Fortress Group started attracting a vast number of customers who felt that they were receiving quality services from the company than they were receiving from other organizations. Randal Nardone, one of the company executives, was highly involved in addressing the needs of customers to help the firm attain its intended goal. The customer-oriented strategy has enabled Fortress Investment Group to be an asset manager with the most significant number of customers in the industry.

One of the magic moves that Fortress Investment Group has taken is the acquisition by SoftBank, a Japanese multinational. This transaction will enable Fortress to leverage the broad customer base of SoftBank as well as its goodwill. At the beginning of this year, Wes Edens came out to shed clarity about the acquisition to eliminate the doubts and panic that had filled most of the investors of the organization. Everything was confirmed to be in the correct position since the leadership of Fortress Group remained intact.

The direction of the U.S. education system has been argued over for decades with the charter schools network being seen as revolutionary as recently as the 1990s. The appointment of charter schools campaigner Betsy DeVos as the Secretary of Education was seen as a watershed moment in 2017, but the previous Secretary had previously worked as the Director of the Uncommon Schools network. Despite the move to legitimize the work of charter schools across the U.S., some sections of the media remain rooted in their antipathy towards the growth of the charter schools movement.

Rocketship Education CEO, Preston Smith took exception to the image portrayed by NPR of his charter schools network in a 2016 blog. Smith has been building the charter schools network since 2006 when he established Rocketship Education with fellow public schools teacher, John Danner. The focus for Rocketship Education is on creating a powerful sense of community on each campus which is transferred to everyday life for both parents and students. Teachers at Rocketship Education are given a difficult task and not all are suited to the role as a close partnership with parents is required throughout the school year.

The backlash against the NPR article has not been limited to the reaction of Preston Smith but also includes a number of articles discussing the problems of the article from seasoned journalists. Preston Smith argues a more important use of resources by NPR would have been to address the issues raised regarding charter schools and frame them against charter schools and the public school system. Despite some support coming from social media users for the NPR article, journalists and media commentators suggested the use of anecdotal evidence as the basis of the article was an incorrect way of sourcing information. Failing to express the failings and successes of both charter schools and public schools left the feeling the article was built to create anger about the growing sector of charter schools networks.

Dr. Eric Forsthoefel thinks we need to stop advertising wait times in emergency rooms. You may have seen a billboard on the side of the road that displays the wait time in minutes with an LED clock. You might even catch the billboard changing times as you drive by.

Dr. Eric Forsthoefel believes these advertisements encourage people to use the ER as they would their primary physician. He has seen a precipitous rise in the number of people receiving primary care at his ER in Florida. He doesn’t shy away from these patients. Instead, he treats them with dignity and respect. He also instructs his staff to treat them completely before they leave the ER.

Therein lies the rub. Dr. Eric Forsthoefel is determined to treat every person that walks into his ER but he knows the dangers that these patients are creating. An overcrowded ER becomes more and more difficult to manage. He and his staff become stretched thin as they try to administer primary care to non-urgent patients while simultaneously administering emergency care to critical patients. This juggling act can only go on so long before someone gets hurt, says Dr. Eric Forsthoefel.

The doctor has thought long and hard about the problem. And, like any good doctor, he has focused on the facts to come up with this surprisingly easy solution. Unfortunately, it is up to other members of the medical community to execute the solution. It’s out of Dr. Eric Forsthoefel’s hands to clean up his own ER.

His solution — Make primary care physicians more accessible with expanded evening hours and updated office locations. He also wants hospitals to stop advertising ER wait times which trick people into thinking that the ER is open for business.

It comes down to convenience, says Dr. Eric Forsthoefel. More than 80% of non-urgent patients in the emergency room are insured. Insurance and money are not the problems. In fact, uninsured patients dare not step into an emergency room for fear of insurmountable medical bills. This actually kills uninsured people, but that’s another topic for another time.

The problem is convenience. It’s convenience for Medicaid patients as well as the traditionally insured. Medicaid patients find it difficult to find a primary care physician. Many doctors will not take on Medicaid patients which forces them into the ER to receive treatment. And the traditionally insured find the ER to be more convenient than care through a primary physician.

Insured patients like the fact that they can see a specialist during one ER visit. It can take multiple visits to see a similar specialist through a primary doctor. And the insured like the fact that they receive same-day service at the ER.

OSI Group started its operation in providing processed value-added protein in 1990 in Toledo, Spain. The company began as a local firm serving only Illinois. Today, the group runs above 60 facilities in various countries across the world. The firm concentrates on the processing of pork, beef, and chicken products. At the start of this year, the company finished the extension of the production capacity of quality chicken products. The broadening market demand for chicken products in Portugal and Spain spearheaded the development. The production of chicken products increased by 50 percent giving 24,000 tons annually. The development led to an increase in the overall production capacity to 45,000 tons periodically. The primary concern of OSI Group is to offer customer-oriented, affordable and consistent products.

Thus, the group added its work forces by 20 workers to the initial 140. The product development manager is the most crucial post in the 20 positions. The office is to manage the trend of the current products and introduces new ones to the firm’s portfolio. The improvement helps the group to get ready for the anticipated continuously increasing demand for meat products. Therefore, the firm sets strategies for future competition and to satisfy the broadening market and remain the leading company in providing processed food. OSI Group runs under the leadership of Sheldon Lavin. The leader helps the firm in the transformation in the economic development phase as a financial consultant.

Also, the group added to its working space a total of 22,600 square feet. The firm introduced indoor and outdoor cameras to boost the security surveillance system. Other additional amenities are new receiving and shipping area, waste container storage, nitrogen and hot water tanks, and social area for the workers. OSI Group intends to create a strong branding in the entire world. In 2016, the company opened the Tyson Food Plant to improve services to North America. In 2017, the firm went ahead to purchase the Flagship Europe to offer quality services to the UK and renaming it as the Creative Food Europe. The recent achievement is buying of the leading portion in Baho Food.

Nick Vertucci is the founder of Nick Vertucci’s Real Estate Academy — NVREA. If you wanted a couple of lines from a song to describe Nick Vertucci’s life, you’d be hard pressed to do better than these two lines from Frank Sinatra’s rendition of That’s Life.

Each time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race.

Nick’s childhood was anything but wealthy, but that wasn’t a problem — kids are tough. Then he lost his father at only ten years old. That was a problem. But soon after turning 18, Nick seized the bit and took control of his destiny. He founded a thriving business selling computer accessories. But then came the dot-com economic crash of the early 2000’s. Nick nearly lost everything. But like the lyric above, Nick Vertucci did indeed pick himself back up, and he did get back in the race.

By 2004 Nick had taken a real estate training course and was divesting himself of his struggling, debt-laden retail technology business, and embracing life as a real estate investor. In the beginning, he literally knocked on doors as he sought out suitable residential properties to flip. He soon began offering others the chance to invest in the properties he was buying, rehabbing, and ultimately flipping. Many of these investors found Nick through his radio show “The Real Estate Investing Hour.”

Things were booming, and Nick wanted to share his knowledge and investment opportunities with others. That was the impetus that drove him to create the Nick Vertucci Real Estate School (NVREA).

Nick Vertucci teaches four simple steps to successful real estate investing.

1. See the opportunity.
2. Believe it. Many people never acknowledge that they don’t sincerely believe in their proposed course of action.
3. Map it. You’ve got to have a plan
4. Execute it. Yeah, this is the hard one. You can stand on the diving board and dream about the beautiful swan dive you see in your mind’s eye, but ultimately… you going to have to jump.

You can learn even more about Nick from his latest book, Seven Figure Decisions: Having the Balls to Succeed.

Alex Pall is one-half of the EDM duo Chainsmokers, who recently had an interview with Interview Magazine. The duo released a song just yesterday called “Closer” with singer Halsey. In the interview, Pall goes into speaking about his roots and growing up with an interest to become a DJ. He used to DJ in New York City and had a strong interest in dance music specifically. After meeting his other half Drew, they formed a partnership and formed a bond that can never be broken. What started out as a hobby, turned into a successful full-time partnership. Both worked hard to fund their dreams and formed an identity. Pall explains that an important aspect of his music is connecting with people who listen on a deep level. The path is very much to Pall as a “journey of self-discovery and checking yourself.” They managed to surprise many people as their fame soared through the roof. The duo realized that they needed to be unique with so much competition from other DJ’s and artists. Pall explains that the two share their own past experiences in their songs and write some of them themselves. Something that makes them completely different from other artists out. Pall also talked about working with other artist Halsey, who has been rising in fame. He described working with her as “incredible, very cool, unique, and number 1 on that list of people they wanted to work with.” The song with Halsey “Closer” was produced by the duo. Pall has used Instagram to see individuals who really connect with their work singing along to their songs, either strangers and family. Pall noticed that many people aged between 16 to 25 listen to their music typically. He has also noticed that they are reaching more people internationally. The duo performs their own music live, which is different from traditional DJs today. The duo wants to keep improving and working hard, but more importantly, give people new experiences.

Youth and vitality are two things that are valued by our society to an extreme measure. It is crazy the lengths that some will go to just to try to hold on to their youthful looks. The reality is that it is not necessary to take measures that are too extreme. You can just use some of the products that are put out by Jeunesse Global. They have what you need when it comes to health and beauty aids, and you may be surprised by some of their selection and just how much it covers for you.

The company was founded in 2009 by two formerly retired individuals who decided that they wanted to share their talents for making health and beauty aids with the world. Although they could have simply settled into their golden years and not worried about a thing, they thought that it would be a better benefit to the world if they took the time to offer their products to all of us. Now, we want to take a look at two of them.

AM/PM Essentials is the kind of product that you need if you have any struggles with getting to sleep or staying asleep at all. This is the kind of thing that can help a person who has had sleep struggles in the past find the right kind of balance of chemicals in their body to produce the kind of sleep that they really desire.

Another great product by Jeunesse Global is called Instantly Ageless. With this one the person who uses it is getting a cream to rub on areas of wrinkles on their face or anywhere that may be embarrassing to them in some way. When they do this, they are taking away some of the stigma and embarrassment that might otherwise come with having these wrinkles. It only covers them up for a period of time, but that period is usually long enough to get them through whatever function they may need to get through. These two great products help to make Jeunesse Global the kind of company that you will want to purchase products from on a regular basis.
