4-day workweeks increase job satisfaction and productivityPosted by: in General work pimpsI found this interesting article from The Times of India, discussing Utah’s transition to a 4-day workweek from a 5-day workweek. Researchers from the Romney Institute of Public Management found that 60% of employees who have transitionedto the 4-day workweek reported higher productivity.
It’s funny what a seemingly slight difference in scheduling makes. They work the same number of hours as 5-day workweek employees, and yet they report superior performance and job satisfaction. If the performance is indeed better, businesses should take a serious look into applying similar changes in their schedule. Filed under: Estates
Of course my eye is immediately drawn to the center vault space that contains a library lined by bookcases. The library separates the two master bedroom suites on the top level and overlooks the great room and onward to the pool. The home has two bedrooms, three full baths and a gourmet kitchen. The front exterior features an alee of white crape myrtle trees around a pool surrounded by Turkish travertine which is also on all floors except the two bedrooms which are carpeted. This home is listed at $4.25 million. [Thanks, Victor] %Gallery-28287% Continue reading The Slayton House, Estate of the Day Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments Filed under: Estates
Now the Wall Street Journal reports Bundchen just re-listed the pad for $5.9 million, a almost 50% reduction. She paid nearly $3 million for the modern 1,700-sq.ft. triplex with a wraparound terrace and roofdeck overlooking the Hudson River in 2002. Meanwhile, the Journal also notes that Bundchen’s beau, football star Tom Brady, has upped the price on his 3,000-sq.ft., three-bedroom apartment at the Time Warner Center. He first listed it in 2007 for $16.5 million before taking it off the market. He has now re-listed the spread at $18.29 million, about a 30% increase. %Gallery-28688% Filed under: Estates
Northwood was once a 900-acre estate owned by banker Mortimer Schiff. Schiff built a big 120-room Tudor home on the site but his son John replaced it with the comparatively modest home that’s on the land this day in 1948. %Gallery-28707% One of my favorite old SciFi movies is “The Day the Earth Stood Still” with Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, and Sam Jaffe. And Billy Gray (from Father Knows Best). Klaatu (Rennie) comes to earth with Gort, his robot friend, to warn the people of the world that they have to live in peace or face obliteration (I was never sure why, if the aliens were against war, why they would destroy people). Anyway, it seems Barak Obama has picked up Klaatu’s refrain. During his current speech in Berlin, he referred to his audience several times as “People of the World” and he designated himself as a “fellow citizen of the world.” Sounding very presidential, Obama spoke where Kennedy and Reagon gave resounding speeches to the people of Berlin. Kennedy’s “Ich Bein Ein Berliner” speech and Reagan’s “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” speech both were pivotal events in European and American history. Will Obama’s speech prove to be as powerful or influential? Only time will tell. And I hope we can understand the words of Klaatu:

Having a separate entity (an LLC or a Subchapter S Corporation) for the property keeps the property out of any issues with the debt of the business itself. You can also move the business and keep the property, renting out the space to some other business. The separate entity for property idea might also be good if you are asked to invest in a business by a relative, child, or friend. You could offer to purchase (or join in buying) the property, and keep out of any potential problems with running the business. A current online newspaper article from Fort Myers, Florida, has more details and additional examples. Remember, I’m not an attorney or accountant and I’m not giving you advice. Check with your attorney and CPA before entering into any business transactions. Better yet, don’t invest at all. And try to avoid borrowing from family and friends to begin your business.
