Are you working from home? We believe that working from home should be a comfortable experience, no matter where that computer is (kitchen table anyone?). 3.7 billion of us globally, spend an average 4 hours per day at the computer, and now more than ever, those computers are at home. We created "Uppo"​ - an ergonomic wrist rest to support those who spend long hours at the computer and don't want to be interrupted by wrist pain, finger numbness, weakness and other health disorders that lead to Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). As explained by NIH: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (USA), CTS occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. One of the causes for this is the incorrect position of your wrist and palm when you are typing or using your mouse. In the worst cases, CTS leads to wrist surgery or loss of full function. Occupational Safety and Health Administration of U.S. Department of labor suggests to "Use a wrist rest to maintain straight wrist postures and to minimize contact stress during typing and mousing tasks"​. Uppo is an innovative solution for an ergonomic workplace that holds your hand in its natural position, thus relieving pressure on the median nerve and preventing CTS symptoms. With an Uppo on your wrist, you can work comfortably for long hours. Uppo is a great corporate gift for employees, business partners and customers, or perfect promotional gift at large events. Uppo focus on B2B and B2C and welcomes agents, trade brokers, wholesalers, distributors, trading houses, retail chains and other partners who are interested in reselling Uppo in their geographical area to send us a note@getuppo.com We are always open for opportunities, let's talk! Sincerely, Uppo management team

Buying a second home isn’t just for the super-rich. And owning and maintaining one doesn’t have to be a drain on your finances, either. In fact, times have changed, and now there’s a new way to access second home ownership. At NOMADO, we make second homes in stunning locations, accessible and affordable. And our owners don’t need to worry about the upkeep. We want to make the whole process simple: so you can get on with simply enjoying your second home. NOMADO uses fractional and real ownership of real estate assets. Buyers who want to purchase fractions of the second homes acquire ownership in Limited Companies owning the respective second homes. As an owner, your fractions of second homes retain and move with the real estate market, providing the added benefit for the owners of being a real estate investment. With NOMADO, buyers do not only acquire access to a property. They own the properties, situated in local residential communities, each with its unique charm and atmosphere.
