Government of Costa Rica Selects FreeBalance Platform to Drive Digital Transformation

Ministry of Finance to implement innovative, customer-centric and digital-first government operations in multi-year transformation programme

Ottawa, Canada – FreeBalance, the leading provider of digital technology and advisory services for national governments, today announced a new partnership which will support the delivery of a comprehensive program of digital transformation for the Ministry of Finance in Costa Rica.

FreeBalance will provide its unified government technology platform and specialist government advisory and technical implementation services to help the Government of Costa Rica create a new, citizen-centric, digital-by-design approach to transform its planning, budgeting, public expenditure, accounting, human resource management, reporting and treasury functions.

The project, funded by the World Bank, aims to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and client orientation of tax and customs administration and public expenditure management, through the digital transformation of the Ministry of Finance.

Manuel Schiappa Pietra, President and CEO of FreeBalance said: “This transformative project delivers critical reforms and establishes a foundation for improved fiscal and societal outcomes for the citizens of Costa Rica. Having worked with governments around the world to improve governance, accountability, transparency and citizen wellbeing, FreeBalance is in a unique position to support the Government of Costa Rica on its digital transformation journey, and we look forward to collaborating.”

This project will transform government financial management in Costa Rica, prioritizing efficiency, transparency, and citizen engagement. By transforming government resource planning at the strategic and operational levels, Costa Rican citizens will gain visibility into how public funds are collected, invested, and impact their lives. The project fosters a citizen-centric culture within the government, placing citizens at the forefront of service delivery to enhance social outcomes and satisfaction.

The project will help public finance leaders in Costa Rica to:

  • manage financial and people resources more efficiently and effectively
  • increase clarity and predictability in the country’s financial and budgetary systems
  • facilitate decision making with a centralized and integrated platform
  • more effectively align resources with workload to increase productivity.

The project is also expected to have far-reaching benefits outside government operations. More revenue will be generated for public investments through more efficient operations and the strengthening of public expenditure controls. More efficient data generation and processing will ensure that information is shared in a more timely and accurate manner, improving the transparency of government finances. And customer service oriented attention will be embedded in all government units, reducing transaction costs and increasing citizen satisfaction.

FreeBalance has partnered with Computer Network Systems Limited (CNS) on this project. CNS brings a wealth of experience in implementing diverse software projects across multiple government organizations. Development experts from CNS will collaborate closely with the FreeBalance team to achieve the Ministry of Finance’s vision of becoming a digital leader.

As with all FreeBalance implementations, a local office has been established in San José to foster seamless collaboration with government stakeholders. Ongoing support and sustainability services will be provided by a local team, backed by FreeBalance’s global and regional experts.

Cultured Cuties Launches Diverse Magnetic Dolls

Mom Decides Kids Need More Diversity In Toys, Solves Problem By Creating Diverse Magnetic Dolls

Cultured Cuties, a dynamic toy company founded by a visionary mom on a mission to provide children with diverse and inclusive play options, proudly announces the launch of their diverse magnetic doll product line. These innovative toys are designed to celebrate and promote diversity, allowing children of all backgrounds to enjoy imaginative and inclusive play experiences.

The inspiration behind Cultured Cuties and the Diverse Magnetic Dolls came from a dedicated mother’s desire to ensure that her children had access to toys that reflected the diverse world they live in. Recognizing the need for toys that represent various cultures, backgrounds, and abilities, she decided to take matters into her own hands and create a solution that would benefit children everywhere.

In a world where diversity and inclusion are becoming increasingly important, Cultured Cuties is taking the lead in the toy industry by providing a meaningful response to the demand for more inclusive playthings. The Diverse Magnetic Dolls are not just toys; they are instruments of learning, empathy, and understanding.

Each set of Diverse Magnetic Dolls features a vibrant array of characters representing a wide range of ethnicities, abilities, and backgrounds. These beautifully designed dolls are printed on magnetic paper with magnetic accessories, allowing children to mix and match outfits, hairstyles, and accessories to create their unique combinations. Kids cut out their doll, dress it up, then read about their Cutie’s culture in the “Fun Passport” and can try cooking a recipe from their Cutie’s country. This not only fosters creativity but also encourages children to embrace and celebrate differences while having fun and bonding with their caregiver.

Cultured Cuties understands the importance of early childhood education and believes that toys can play a significant role in shaping young minds. The Diverse Magnetic Dolls are designed to promote acceptance, tolerance, and respect for others from a young age. By engaging with these dolls, children learn about diversity and develop a sense of empathy and compassion that will benefit them throughout their lives.

“We believe that every child deserves to see themselves and their friends represented in their toys,” said Ayesha Qureshi, the visionary mom behind Cultured Cuties. “Our Diverse Magnetic Dolls are a celebration of diversity, and we hope they inspire children to appreciate the beauty of our world’s multicultural tapestry.”

The launch of the Diverse Magnetic Dolls marks a significant milestone for Cultured Cuties and sets the stage for their future endeavors. The company is committed to expanding its product line to include a boy and a girl from each country by the end of 2024, and a plush line by August, 2024.

Cultured Cuties invites parents, educators, and toy enthusiasts to join them in their mission to create a more inclusive and empathetic world, one playtime at a time. With their diverse magnetic dolls, children can now embark on exciting adventures with a diverse group of friends who represent the beautiful tapestry of humanity.

Ecommerce Pioneer GiftsforEurope Celebrates 25th Anniversary

GiftsforEurope (www.giftsforeurope.com), a leader in international gift delivery to Europe, celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2023. Nathalie and Benny Sintobin founded the website in 1998 during the early days of Internet shopping to make it easy to send gifts to Europe from abroad. From beginnings as a 5-person team in Roeselare, Belgium, today GiftsforEurope.com delivers corporate and personal gifts to 30+ European countries and the UK.

Now is the time to contact GiftsforEurope B2B specialists for corporate Christmas gifts for employees, clients, and colleagues in Europe.

Bridging the Distance

Founder and current General Manager Benny Sintobin was inspired to launch the website while earning his MBA from Kenan-Flagler in 1995. Mr. Sintobin discovered that it was very difficult to ship gifts home to Belgium for special occasions.

“Bridging the feeling of distance when a good friend, relative, or business partner lives on another continent – that was the starting premise of GiftsforEurope.com,” he explained.

The Belgian-based website soon discovered that demand for gift delivery to Europe was highest from the US. GiftsforEurope initially delivered to Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, but quickly adapted to meet requests for delivery across Europe. Germany (23%) and France are the largest delivery destinations.

Corporate Gifting Made Easy from the US to Europe

Today, corporate orders are 54% of the business. The B2B team has the capacity to tackle very large and unique requests from corporate clients, including an annual cheese tasting event in over 15 countries for 5,000 people on the same day.

Key Facts:

  • Ship tens of thousands gifts annually
  • 57% of sales are from outside the EU (38% USA, 19% UK)
  • Sells world-renowned brands like Veuve Clicquot (1800+ bottles annually) and small local brands.
  • Every gift is still packed by hand in Belgium.

The GiftsforEurope DNA

Bringing people together through the art of gifting has always been the DNA of GiftsforEurope. Relationships have also been built between GiftsforEurope and their superbly loyal clients.

Recalled Sintobin, “One client that comes to mind is a New Yorker with 4 family members in a small village in Italy. Every year for the last 20+ years we sent gifts for him, translated the Christmas note to Italian, and entered his order manually. Each year we wish each other ‘Merry Christmas and good health.’ These things make it special to me.”

Thriving Over the Next 25 Years

Sintobin is confident that GiftsforEurope will continue to grow and thrive over the next 25 years because it offers gifts and services the Internet giants can never match. Avoiding Internet hypes and staying loyal to the company’s core DNA is key. Sustainable packaging and practices are also priorities.

In his final reflection on the success of GiftsforEurope in the next 25 years, Mr. Sintobin concluded, “Gosh…I will be 80 then!”

About GiftsforEurope

GiftsforEurope is an online gift shop from Belgium with delivery to 30+ European countries and the UK. Specialities include European luxury brands, ChampagneBelgian chocolate, fruit, and fine wine. Since 1998, GiftsforEurope has offered convenient international gifting solutions, particularly for US-based customers needing gift delivery to Europe.

Empowering Traders Worldwide: MiFunder’s Breakthrough Funding Program Takes Center Stage

MiFunder, a modern proprietary firm, announces the launch of their new funding platform for traders. Skilled forex traders often have limited capital, with many reporting that access to funding is their top challenge. To combat this, MiFunder provides traders with funded accounts up to 250,000 USD, at zero risk to the traders. This new platform not only enhances the trading capacity of skilled users but also opens up new avenues for traders globally, allowing them to amplify their earnings potential with each trade.

“MiFunder was built by seasoned traders for traders to solve this problem of under-funding, equipping traders with the capital and guardrails necessary to be part of the top 5% who are profitable.” Alex Giwa, COO of MiFunder.

MiFunder offers a multi-phase solution to audit and ensure traders with the best risk management skills join the platform.

Evaluation Phase: Prospective traders must meet specific performance criteria, including a minimum profit target of 7%. This target is favourable for traders as it is lower than the industry standard of 10%, reflecting MiFunder’s commitment to providing opportunities for skilled traders.

Verification Phase: After successfully clearing the evaluation, the profit target is lowered to 5%, while all other standard trading rules remain the same. This reduction in the profit target further validates the trader’s skills and preparedness for live trading.

Trading Phase: After successfully clearing the evaluation, traders gain access to their MiFunder trading account, ranging in size from 7,000 USD to 250,000 USD.

“By providing access to larger capital and ensuring rigorous risk management practices, MiFunder aims to provide better opportunities to skilled traders while combating the issues of over-trading and over-leveraging.” Rudo Viljoen, CEO of MiFunder.

MiFunder has instituted a standard profit-sharing model, ensuring the platform and the trader share in the successes. To ensure the sustainability and long-term viability of the funding program, rigorous risk management criteria are in place. During the evaluation phase, these criteria filter out unskilled traders. Every funded account has a maximum loss threshold for long-term sustainability. Should this threshold be reached, MiFunder’s system automatically logs the trader out, restricting their access.

MiFunder is poised to redefine the prop-trading landscape. The Company offers larger accounts at more affordable prices than competitors, often compounding their value with perks yet to be seen in the market. By providing skilled traders with the opportunity to manage larger capitals while ensuring rigorous risk management, MiFunder aims to bring stability, sustainability, and profitability back to Forex trading.

XNERG™ Launches Tido, a Novel Solution to Combat Insomnia in Malaysia

In Malaysia, the acceleration of life’s pace and the increase in work pressure have made insomnia a growing public health issue. Recent health surveys indicate that approximately 35% of Malaysian adults are affected by insomnia, a figure that is relatively high on a global scale. In response to this challenge, XNERG™, a brand under the Malaysian e-commerce company ABEZT™, has launched an innovative sleep aid product named Tido, designed to offer effective solutions for sleep improvement and lead new trends in healthy living.

The launch of Tido comes at a time when public attention to healthy sleep is increasing and the demand for sleep aids is growing. Tido stands out in the market with its distinctive formula comprising five core ingredients, with the key player being Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN). Scientific research has confirmed NMN’s notable effects on cellular repair and DNA stability. Together with the carefully selected other four ingredients, Tido forms its unique all-encompassing care formula.

Among these five key ingredients, the South African Devil’s Thorn stands out as another crucial element, renowned for its ability to enhance sleep quality, improve memory, and alleviate stress and anxiety. The third major component, Soy Phosphatidylserine, is believed to contribute to mood improvement, promote healthy sleep, and alleviate depressive feelings, slowing down age-related memory loss. Walnut Peptide, as the fourth major ingredient, infuses Tido’s formula with the power to reduce depression, lower the risk of heart disease, and improve declining brain function. Lastly, the addition of Magnesium Oxide helps alleviate stress and anxiety, lower blood sugar levels, and mitigate symptoms such as headaches.”

Since its launch, Tido has received positive feedback from numerous consumers, and its effectiveness is widely recognized. For instance, a 35-year-old marketing consultant, Mr. Zhang, shared his experience: “Since I started using Tido, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my sleep pattern. I wake up feeling more refreshed in the morning, and my overall work efficiency has increased.” Another user, a 42-year-old freelancer, Ms. Sor, said, “Tido has not only solved my long-standing difficulty in falling asleep but also enhanced my attention and vitality in everyday life.”

The introduction of Tido has not only addressed individual sleep issues but also garnered widespread attention at the societal level. The R&D team at XNERG™ emphasizes, “Our goal is not only to create a sleep aid product but more importantly, to improve the overall quality of life for people. The development of Tido is based on comprehensive scientific research and real user feedback, providing the public with a holistic solution for sleep improvement.”

As a burgeoning force in the sleep aid market, XNERG™ is actively collaborating with health experts and medical institutions, dedicated to research and innovation, to ensure that Tido can meet the evolving needs and health trends of the market. Throughout this process, XNERG™ consistently upholds its core philosophy — “Devoted to Energizing Career Warriors”. As a brand under the Malaysian e-commerce company ABEZT™, specializing in energy, vitality, health products, XNERG™ taps into the essence of nature, combining it with innovative science and cutting-edge technology. The brand embraces the sublime mission of crafting efficient health solutions for the modern urban population.

Through these efforts, XNERG™ is enhancing public awareness of the relationship between sleep quality and overall health and encouraging more people to focus on and improve their sleep habits. The launch of Tido not only demonstrates XNERG™’s commitment to elevating public health standards but also signifies its leadership in the global health industry.

Nittaya Thai Curry Celebrates 60 Years of Culinary Excellence and Tradition

A revered name in the culinary world, Nittaya Thai Curry marks its 60th anniversary in 2024, celebrating a journey from a local market stall to a top choice in luxury Thai kitchens. Esteemed for its traditional, high-quality Thai curry paste, the brand remains family-owned and committed to authentic Thai culinary traditions, emphasizing the unique nature of curry-making in its ongoing legacy.

Nittaya Thai Curry is recognizing its remarkable journey of 60 years in bringing original Thai curry paste to kitchens globally. Founded in 1964 by Ms. Nittaya and her family, the brand has evolved from a humble stall at Nonthaburi Market to the number one choice among chefs at luxury hotels, airlines, and top restaurants across Thailand.

This anniversary marks a milestone of longevity and a testament to the unwavering commitment to quality and tradition that Nittaya Thai Curry has maintained. The journey began when Ms. Nittaya and her brother set up a stall at Nonthaburi Market. Their unique Thai curry paste, crafted in the family kitchen, quickly gained popularity, leading to a store opening in Bangkok’s Banglamphu area. Since then, the brand has become a staple in Thai family kitchens, renowned for its exceptional quality.

With a dedication to sourcing pesticide-free ingredients from local farmers and adhering to high food safety standards, Nittaya Thai Curry has established its reputation through word of mouth. Many Thais swear that the curry made with their paste is the closest to an authentic Thai curry that can be produced in a family kitchen. This belief is based on the brand’s approach to using high-quality ingredients. While the factory has been upgraded to meet contemporary standards, the recipe remains unchanged from 60 years ago.

Today, Nittaya Thai Curry remains a 100% family-owned and operated business, with Ms. Nittaya still playing an active role. As the brand celebrates this significant milestone, the family envisions a future where they continue to honor and uphold the legacy of Thai culinary tradition. Emphasizing the uniqueness of their product, they advocate for the idea that making curry is a special occasion. “People don’t make curry every day, so when they decide to make it, why not spend a little bit more and make it truly special,” reflects the brand’s ethos.

Individuals can access the official website for more information about Nittaya Thai Curry and its products.
