How Much Do I Need To Save For Retirement?

One of the biggest questions I get, from virtually every client and most of my survey respondents, is: How much money do I need to retire? There are so many things to think about and so many potential options it can be overwhelming to even know where to start. (Trust me, it’s complicated, and I’m a Certified Financial Planner!)

This is part of why so many people don’t even start saving for retirement. Let’s spend some time de-mystifying how much to save for retirement. Today we’ll go over some of the most common stumbling blocks to figuring out your target savings rate. We will also discuss how to evaluate online calculators you may use and other questions to think about as you fine-tune your personal savings target.

Some of the hurdles you have to jump

Let’s review some of the issues people run into while trying to figure out how much money they need to retire.

  1. People don’t understand the assumptions used in online retirement savings calculators. (Some of which have overly optimistic assumptions that might not be realistic.)
  2. Many people don’t know how much they spend now to even get a ballpark figure on what they might spend in retirement.
  3. Even people who do know how much they want to spend annually in retirement still underestimate what they need to save.
  4. People who do get a ballpark figure on how much they need to save get overwhelmed with the sheer size of the number and put it off another year.
  5. You have a bunch of kids, a needy dog, job(s), a house, school and a million other things to think about.

How much money do I need to retire?

Now I’ll walk you through some questions you can use to assess your personal situation. As you probably know, everyone’s target savings rate is going to be different. I will be diving into several of these topics in greater detail over the coming weeks, so be sure to subscribe. to get all of the posts sent directly to your inbox twice a month!

You may have heard several “rules of thumb” around how much you need to save for retirement,  ranging from 10-20% of your income. These rules of thumb rely on several assumptions. For example, the latest rule of thumb from Fidelity is 15% of your income.

To arrive at that percentage Fidelity assumes that you:

Work until age 67 (FRA for people born in or after 1960)

Save 15% of your income from age 25-67 (did you miss that memo at age 25?)

Invest in a "balanced" portfolio (50% stocks/50% bonds)

Collect Social Security (but no pension)

OK, let’s get a more personalized number for you.

Try this calculator to see what your personal target should (?) be:

Get Your Personalized Savings Rate

Go ahead; click that link. It will take a few seconds and will open in a new tab. Then come back and finish reading.

First - Don’t Panic.

Second - You can do this.

OK, that’s a starting point, but YOUR actual number could still be different! Let’s dig a little deeper to find out why. Just like the 15% rule of thumb; this calculator relies on several assumptions that may or may not be true for you.

How long will you work before you retire?

This calculator assumes you will work until age 67. Maybe. That’s not possible, or desirable, for everyone. If you want to have the flexibility to work part-time or completely retire before age 67 you may need to save more than the calculator suggests.

What’s your asset allocation?

(Plain English: what percentage of your money do you have split between cash, stocks and bonds, etc.) The calculator assumes you invest in a “balanced” portfolio, which in this particular case means about 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds.  Your actual portfolio may hold more (or less) in stocks. If you have more in stocks you may be able to save at a lower rate, possibly retire earlier, or spend more in retirement. (Hello, Kenyan Safari!)

Side note: Stocks tend to be more volatile than bonds and cash. That means you may lose or make more money investing in stocks over any given time period.

This calculator assumes you don’t make any major behavioral mistakes over the next 20 or 30 years.

Such as putting all of your 401(k) into your company stock because you think the price is really cheap. (Probably not a good idea) Or, you don’t get so anxious watching your diversified 401(k) drop from $320,000 to $240,000 that you move to cash. Just until the market hits bottom. (Talk to a professional before making, or even considering, this move.)

Another thing to think about, the income number you entered into the calculator.

Is your income artificially low (or high) right now? The calculator asks for your current income. If you or your spouse are out of the paid workforce for school or family duties, but re-enter later on, you may have some catching up to do. That’s manageable, but just keep in mind that your financial plan is always evolving.

How much debt do you have?

If you are making a lot of money right now but paying off a big mortgage and student loans, you may actually need less in retirement. Of course, if you decide to buy a big new house in your 40s or 50s and finance it with a 30 year’re going to need extra savings to make your debt payments.

Do you have a pension? Do you expect to receive Social Security?

This calculator assumes that you receive Social Security. If you have a pension you will need to save less of your own money. Remember, even if your employer offers a pension, you still need to sock away some decent money while you are young until you have actually qualified for a decent pension. I have a pension from Bank of America that will pay me something along the lines of $30 a month in retirement. That’s not going to cut it.

Start Saving Now. I’ll Help You.

Alright, what the heck should you do now?! It is so incredibly hard to set aside money for something so far in the future that we can’t really imagine what it will even be like.

Pile on top of that the fact that you won’t see a big, quick pay-off. This is a slow slog, and it’s going to frequently seem impossible to make any headway. Now is the time to trust that little voice telling you you need to get started your saving today. If you had a financial planner they would be reminding you to automate your savings, so make this easier on yourself and do that, too!

Don’t let a desire for perfection stop you from taking action! Just get started now and you can always adjust later on.

Here’s the plan:

1. Start saving at least 3% of your income now.

You will be surprised at how little this will affect your take home pay. If you make $70,000 a year that works out to less than $200 a month. If you have a 401(k) (or other pre-tax retirement savings vehicle) and it comes out pre-tax it will affect your take-home pay even less. A $200 contribution to your pre-tax 401(k) may only “cost” you $140 (depending on your tax bracket)! This will also most likely capture some of your employer match, if you get one. Seriously, this is such a good deal I have a hard time overstating the value of saving this way.

2. Set up a plan to regularly increase your savings over the next couple of years.

Don’t get hung up on the (huge?) percentage of your income that calculator probably told you you need to save to retire at age 67. Commit to making a series of small steps that over time can have a huge impact on your future wealth. An easy way to do this is to set increase your 401(k) contribution with every raise you get

The Secret That No One Talks About

Alright, you know we’re talking about money in ways no one else is talking so I’m going to let you in on a little secret. No one likes to talk about it because the media/our culture spends so much time focusing on people who aren’t saving. So we always hear about people who are struggling, or we hear about millionaires and billionaires who built some amazing company and now eat off of gold plates. What about the rest of us?!

Saving money and building wealth is actually kind of fun. Yeah, I said it. Fun. It makes you feel good to take care of yourself, and your family. Once you get started and see your account balances start growing you’ll be hooked.

So, what are you waiting for? Now you know what questions you should be asking yourself, how to evaluate online calculators, and have an estimate on what you might need. Let’s get started! .

I work for a small group that rents a few offices from one of those companies that rents out a floor in an office building and then sublets individual rooms. Our group is part of a larger company based in another city. Some of the other renters (our group's peers, in other words) have some very bad speaker-phone habits, and I'd like to find a way to get them to change their behavior.

Several people on this floor think nothing of putting their phones on speaker (at what sounds like max volume) while leaving their doors open. Even with our doors closed, the sound is invasive. Some of them do this for hours per day.

My coworkers and I have talked gently with some of the people individually -- "hey, you probably don't realize this, but I'm three doors down and I can hear every word". We've tried telling them it bothers us, and we've also tried pointing out that their confidential business dealings aren't so confidential. (We've overheard private business discussions like financial plans, and discussions with customers, but so far nothing that has regulatory or legal impact, like health or credit-card data.) We've asked them to close their doors and try to lower the volume on the speaker. Most of them apologize, close the door for the next call they make, and then revert to their original habits. One person told me "well, you guys make noise too, you know", to which I said I was worry that our conversations were bothersome and to please let us know if it happens again.

I have sometimes simply closed their doors, though it feels a little pushy to me when I do that. I have spoken with our landlord (the company that sublets the space to us), and they had a conversation with one tenant once and things got better for a few days before regressing. I also asked the landlord (who provides furnishings and equipment) if they'd consider a different model of phone for their next purchases, one that doesn't go that loud, suggesting that the current phones might have been designed for large conference rooms instead of small offices. (I got a noncommital shrug to that.) I'm not particularly authorized to deal with the landlord -- none of us is -- so on that front we're limited to informal requests unless company higher-ups get involved. I've mentioned the problem casually to my manager (in another city) but he can't do much, and I worry that trying to escalate will come off badly. To someone sitting in an office hundreds of miles away who isn't living it, this must sound pretty petty, right?

We are going to be in this space for about another year. Several of us find headphones uncomfortable so we cannot address the problem only at our end. (We could explore noise-generation; so far people aren't enthusiastic about that.) The space is fully rented out so we cannot shuffle offices. We've done the best we can do in terms of placing people within our space (e.g. putting our conference room, rather than people's desks, closest to the noisiest neighbors). We're not in this space long-term so it's not practical to install soundproofing in the walls; also, since no tenants are in this space long-term, the landlord is not motivated to make improvements.

I'd like to address the problem at its sources, ideally while maintaining civil relations with the neighbors. So I'm looking for a diplomatic solution if possible, or a way to persuade the landlord to take firmer action.

This question is similar, but it asks for what the employee can do at the "receiving" end. I'm looking for ways to tackle the problem at its source. Also, all the "noisy people" questions I could find on the site are about coworkers, with whom there's a shared reporting relationship (if you go high enough); these are neighbors who don't work for our company, so the approaches might be different.

Update: Since posting this question, one of the other tenants complained to the landlord about our direct requests to them. The landlord told us not to talk to the other tenants, no matter how nicely, and to instead let them know when there are problems. Doing that usually fixes the immediate problems and people are getting a little better about closing their doors, but it still happens a lot and the landlord isn't addressing the broader problem (policies, different phones, better acoustic insulation, whatever). The corporate real-estate people are now aware of the problem.

This behavior is entirely unacceptable. This is an issue for your landlord. Your landlord is in the business of selling shared office space that can productively be used. He is at present failing to do that.

"No more Mr. Nice Guy!"

I suggest you ask your site manager to speak to whomever in your company made the deal with this landlord, and get that person to lodge a formal complaint. This will let the landlord know you are serious about avoiding this drag on your productivity.

In the meantime, I suggest you intervene whenever this happens. You need to do this consistently, predictably, and without rancor. Close the door to the noisy office, after saying loudly enough for the other party on their phone call to hear, "please respect your neighbors by closing your door for speakerphone calls."

Keep doing it. These sound like the kind of guys who need to be retrained whenever they get back from lunch, so don't expect them to "get the word" and change their behavior. They need to be reminded.

And, get the heck out of that shared office space as soon as you can break your lease.

How petty it will seem to the far-away manager (FAM, for short) will depend on your relationship with that person, and that person's past experience with this sort of thing. It seems to me that your first line of defense here is to try to escalate through the channel, but, as you write, this depends on the attitude of the far-away boss. If you work for a large company, it's possible that the space is actually leased for you by someone who is not your far-away manager, but is, rather, some sort of facilities person. This person might even relish the opportunity to help by taking up your case.

It seems to me that a frank conversation with the FAM is in order. You can't poison your relationship by saying, 'M. X, this noise problem is a serious impediment to productivity. Of course, if there's nothing to be done, we'll manage, but I want to make sure that you understand the situation, in case there is some corporate resource available to press the landlord to enforce the conditions of the lease on the other tenants.' One hopes that the worst you can get is a sympathetic 'no'. You might get authority to treat with the landlord, and you might get real help.

Sadly, if you don't get help, you're in a position of guerrilla warfare, and that is unlikely to go well. Trying to change the behavior of people who don't work for the same company that you work for could get very bad.

I used to have a group of people working for me on the opposite coast; my biggest frustration was that they were unwilling to tell me about problems, often conserving them until they were insolvable. Who knows if your FAM is more like me or more in the mold of 'I don't want to be bothered by this distant buzzing noise?'

When you are asking them to keep the noise down, you should be talking to the person who is in charge. If not I suggest the following.

1. Over the course of 1-2 weeks make a note of everything you can hear that would be classed as confidential or a data protection breach (if your country has this).

Do not use exact details. Instead be vague enough that they get the context. For example:

Tues: 4:01pm Employee talking about company X and prices.

Weds: 10:45am Employee mentioning customers details which may break HIPPA/Data protection laws.

The reason for this is to show you are not detailing exact information which could be used by you.

2. Go to the person who owns the company and detail out that you have tried to ask them to be quiet. Detail all the incidents in the last two weeks you have written above.

If you have external contractors/vendors in your area you should also mention that (to show that you have no control over who may hear this information).

  • That's a good idea. We don't actually know who all the other businesses are (oops, didn't think to mention that before); do you recommend asking the landlord for that, or finding some way to ask "hey who are you guys anyway?" (and hope Google can identify an owner), or what? – Monica Cellio Aug 27 '14 at 15:12

Use the idea of gamification to put up a whiteboard in the common area and use it to keep daily and weekly scores for guilds (businesses) on the floor. A collective challenge to focus on one egregious behavior per month. Use the scoring system +5 +3 +1 for positive behavior and -1 -3 -5 for penalizing poor behaviors. The prize is Friday Happy Hour with the guild with the lowest score picking up the tab for the guild with the highest score.

The constant reminder of the whiteboard provides social pressure to keep it quiet for the guild. Most guild members will not want to cause their guild to lose the challenge.

Start with an easy one like labeling owners to lunches in the common refrigerator. This is to workout any quirks in the rules of the game and the scoring. Then, begin work on the harder to modify behaviors using the same principle of a game. Guilds might want to look at http://www.chorewars.com/ to keep track of the challenges.

Also, use the game structure to promote new positive behaviors, like collaboration in a floor-wide brainstorming session for innovation, group problem-solving, or brown bag training on some competency that affect all guilds like business etiquette. :D

  • That's a cool idea. There currently isn't a standard way to communicate with everybody in the space (e.g. there's not an email list); how do you recommend starting a conversation about that? Talk to everybody individually, write up something and slide it under doors, or what? – Monica Cellio Aug 27 '14 at 15:13

    This could backfire spectacularly. These peopel have no reason to particualte in your gamining. Many people would be insulted enough at the idea that they would ganme the system the other way. I saw this play out once when we had a woman who constantly complained about the profanity the men used. She kept track of how many times and what words and the guys made it a pont of honor to have a higher score the next time she went to the boss. – HLGEM Aug 27 '14 at 15:38

  • The shared space promotes what is known as the Tragedy of the Commons in Game Theory. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons Each actor will act in the self-interest at the expense of the long term goals of the group of people sharing the space. HLGEM points to a where it was essentially group of guys vs. score keeper...who failed to recognize the competitive nature to gain status through the scores she was keeping and relating to management. Monica, contact me and I have a proven program used at NASA for a Chili Cookoff. I'd be glad to share it with you. – Dutch Driver Aug 27 '14 at 20:45

Speed up Edit Mode: Set EnableSessionState to false

Did you now that if session state is enabled, the default ASP.NET setting, all requests from the same user session get queued and processed one after another? Disabling session state will make your server process all those requests simultaneously.

Of course this makes the framed Edit Mode load a bit faster since your non session page template will be processed without having to wait in line with other requests.

Another common situation is AJAX requests being sent to other EPi pages "on load". If your server can finish these at the same time you most likely will have saved quite a few milliseconds for your users.

A third scenario that most of you have seen is when you have built a Web Form that interacts with a remote HTTP service or doing something else that always or occasionally takes a lot of time to complete. You (or even worse, your user or editor) keep waiting for the page to load but then give up and try to navigate to another page. This request of course gets put in your session request queue and the only thing besides waiting that will get you to browse pages on your web site again is to restart your browser and get a new session.

Conclusion: Disabling session state for your EPiServer template ASPX files will most likely give you a big performance boost and make long running requests easier to escape.

It's really easy too, just set the property in the Page directive like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" EnableSessionState="false" %>

You can set this setting in Web.config too but for EPiServer sites I don't recommend this since it would need to be put in the root system.webServer element and then reset in child location elements where session state status might interfere with base EPiServer functionality.

In your web site's web forms you should have a really good reason to use Session for anything so for most projects this can be done without hassle.

Gaze: U.S. adults who mostly rely on social media for files are much less told, uncovered to more conspiracies

Gaze: U.S. adults who mostly rely on social media for files are much less told, uncovered to more conspiracies

A updated doc from Pew Analysis makes an attempt and higher notice U.S. adults who assemble their information largely from social media platforms, and overview their figuring out of latest events and political information to those who eat different sources, adore TV, radio and knowledge publications. The tip-level discovering, in line with Pew, is that social media information buyers have a tendency to arrange the small print a lot much less rigorously and discontinuance up a lot much less advised on a number of key matters.

That seems to beef up a notion that many individuals already withhold, unnecessary to say — that folks that assemble their information mainly from Fb, as an example, aren’t as advised.

But it surely little doubt’s most indispensable to have how Pew Analysis got here to this conclusion and debate to what extent it means the platforms are at fault, which is unclear from this knowledge.

The company first requested individuals how they principally assemble their information.

About one-in-5 (18%) talked about they principally eat social media to guard modern. That’s shut the odds of those who sigh they eat native TV (16%) or cable TV (16%) information, nonetheless fewer than these who sigh they hurry straight to a information internet pages or app (25%). Yet another 13% talked about they eat community TV and solely 3% talked about they be taught a newspaper.

Picture Credit: Pew Analysis

To be trot, any gaze that asks customers to self-document how they enact one thing isn’t going to be as invaluable as people who procure onerous knowledge on what the consumers actually enact. In different phrases, people who deem they’re getting most of their information from TV might moreover be, if truth be told, undercounting the time they spent on social media — or vice versa.

That talked about, amongst this group of “mainly” social media information buyers, solely 8% talked about that they had been following the well-known information story of the 2020 U.S. election “very rigorously,” in distinction with 37% of cable TV viewers who talked concerning the an identical, or the 33% of print customers who moreover talked about this. The social media group, on this matter, become as soon as nearer to the native TV group (11%).

On the subject of the coronavirus outbreak, solely spherical 1 / 4 (23%) of the mainly social media information buyers talked about that they had been following information of COVID-19 “very rigorously.” All different groups over once more reported a elevated share, together with these who mainly light cable TV (50%), nationwide community TV (50%), information internet websites and apps (44%) and native TV (32%) for information.

Related to this discovering, the watch respondents had been moreover requested 29 assorted truth-based principally completely questions on information matters from most up to date days, together with these on Trump’s impeachment, the COVID-19 outbreak and others. Those that scored the underside on these matters had been the consumers who talked about they mainly light social media to assemble their information.

Throughout 9 questions related to foundational political information, solely 17% of mainly social media information buyers scored “extreme political information,” that means they bought eight to 9 of the questions lawful; 27% scored “center political information” (six-seven lawful) and 57% scored “low political information” (5 or fewer lawful.) The one group that did worse had been these who mainly relied on native TV.

Picture Credit: Pew Analysis

Additionally, 45% of those who bought their information mainly by strategy of internet websites and apps, in the meantime, had “extreme political information,” in distinction with 42% for radio, 41% for print, 35% for cable TV and 29% for community TV.

The social media group of information buyers become as soon as moreover extra uncovered to fringe conspiracies, adore the opinion that that the pandemic become as soon as intentionally deliberate. Virtually 1 / 4 (26%) of those who mainly bought their information by strategy of social media talked about that they had heard “lots” about this conspiracy, and a huge 81% talked about that they had on the least “a puny.” This become as soon as vastly elevated than all different information platforms, and a indication of how highly effective conspiracies can unfold throughout social media.

Picture Credit: Pew Analysis

And but, the an identical social media group reported they’re a lot much less making an allowance for concerning the influence of made-up information. Splendid spherical four-in-ten (37%) talked about that they had been “very involved” concerning the influence of made-up information on the 2020 elections, as an example, which become as soon as decrease than each different group furthermore for for native TV viewers (35%). Cable TV viewers had mainly essentially the most effort, at 58%.

Additional referring to, per likelihood, is the vitality these conspiracies should sway minds. Amongst these social media information buyers attentive to the COVID-19 conspiracy, 44% who light social media to in general assemble COVID-19 information talked concerning the opinion become as soon as on the least “presumably applicable.” Splendid 33% of those who relied a lot much less on social media for COVID-19 information talked concerning the an identical.

Picture Credit: Pew Analysis

The gaze went on to overview social media information buyers’ information of different matters, adore COVID-19 impacts and related efficiently being information, with these who bought their information from different sources, using identical methods. As soon as extra, the social media group got here away with the least educated.

Picture Credit: Pew Analysis

Pew’s conclusion from its evaluation is that social media customers are a lot much less advised, which seems fairly applicable on these explicit matters. Nevertheless the implication — or on the least, what some individuals might per likelihood take a good distance from this doc — is that they’re a lot much less advised as a result of they depend on social media as their well-known information provide. That’s not essentially applicable, given this knowledge.

One effort with that conclusion has to enact with social media demographics. The company’s evaluation moreover discovered that social media information buyers skewed youthful — 48% of those who principally light social media for information had been between 18 and 29, as an example. They moreover tended to occupy decrease ranges of formal coaching, as solely 26% had a university stage, versus 47% of those who be taught information internet websites or the 49% who flip to print. (In fact, this lack of elevated coaching is probably, in portion, tied to the incontrovertible reality that social media customers skewed youthful.)

Picture Credit: Pew Analysis

Traditionally, we all know youthful individuals don’t procure with politics on the an identical stage as older adults. They flip out at decrease numbers all through elections. They will moreover be a lot much less engaged of their native politics as a result of they’re relocating for school or for modern jobs, as a result of they haven’t made voting a conduct and in general omit registration time deadlines. They will moreover occupy had a sad coaching in civics to supply out with and haven’t but stuffed inside the gaps among the best design older adults occupy. Many moreover really feel alienated from politics. And plenty of others.

On different matters, youthful individuals might per likelihood additionally really feel equally distanced and disengaged. Many youthful adults occupy been unconcerned by the coronavirus outbreak, as an example, making an allowance for it solely impacts older individuals, and carrying on as frequent.

Their lack of awareness, then, concerning the particulars might moreover be due not to the platform the construct it’s consumed, nonetheless their pastime and engagement with the matters in frequent.

Study Prompts Discussion Of Ohio Capital “Segregation”

Posted on:

< < Back to

A study of where groups of people live concludes that Ohio’s capital city is one of the nation’s most economically segregated major metro areas.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that “Segregated City” by University of Toronto professor Richard Florida used census data to demonstrate how people choose to live among those who have similar incomes, education and occupations. The study ranked Columbus second behind Austin, Texas, among the most segregated economically.

Some Columbus planners and economists say the study doesn’t provide much explanation, but does offer food for thought.

A Toronto researcher says it’s meant to provide information on where people choose to live, not to be something negative.

The study found that clusters of poor are growing in some cities, with the wealthy gathering in suburban enclaves.

It may be tempting to give your mail carrier a gift card for the holidays, but it's not a good idea.

This time of year everyone is in the giving spirit. If you're like me, you want to take time during the holidays to thank those people who go above and beyond and help make your day better. The one person I really wanted to add to my tipping list this year was my postal carrier.

But, apparently that's a terrible idea.

Our mail carrier is the best.  She always arrives at the same time each day, and because we tend to order lots of things online, she usually has to park her truck and carry packages right to our door. When that happens, she always brings up the rest of the mail with her, saving us a trip to the street.

Our family was planning on giving her a $25 gift certificate to Target or somewhere nice this year, but that idea quickly melted away after finding out that she won't be able to accept it.

According to the United States Postal Service, it's against federal regulations for any mail carrier to accept cash or any sort of cash equivalent, such as checks or gift cards. Sounds crazy, but it's right there in black and white:

All postal employees, including carriers, must comply with the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch... cash and cash equivalents, such as checks or gift cards that can be exchanged for cash, must never be accepted in any amount.

We should note that UPS and Fedex drivers don't fall under these regulations, so feel free to tip away.

But the question remains; what can you do to thank those hard working postal workers? Well, federal regulations do allow customers to give their mail carriers small gifts that are worth $20 or less, as long as they're not gift cards or anything that can be exchanged for cash. So now it looks like I'm going to have to do some brainstorming to find just the right gift.

Are there any mail carriers out there with some suggestions?

I'm starting to work through some ideas with a book I want to write. The protagonist is computer science genius that finds flaws and breaks through the security of several major companies. I'm not sure if I can legally mention real companies such as Netflix, Facebook, Google, or others. I know I can't defame or say bad things about a company or try to promote their products, but I'm not sure if having a character steal sensitive data from these companies would be defamation or anything like that.

  • Although some say that if you use real companies/hotels/brands in a good light it's fine, better be safe than sorry and use fictional names. They can be in a bad mood when they see their names in your book and you end sued. So motto again: Better safe than sorry. – A.T. Catmus Nov 20 '17 at 12:40

I am not a lawyer, so do some legal research. The following is my opinion and not legal advice.

They may well regard this is defamation, if your character can break into them it means they have lax security and their customer's information is not safe with them. It means they are not safeguarding their customer's information (credit cards, birthdates, passwords, answers to security question, etc) from hackers.

That is why author's nearly always use fictitious companies that they make a point of saying are NOT Netflix, Google, Facebook or any other known company. You CAN claim anything you want about our government agencies, that falls under free speech and they cannot punish you for defamation. The same is supposedly true about elected officials (but be careful about naming people, because I think you can defame an unelected government employee).

In general, do not use the name of any actual corporation or actual person, and if your character is very similar to one, make a point of NOT using anything that uniquely identifies that corporation or person, and make a point of distinguishing your corp/person from the real one by saying they have done something like "they became the next Facebook", or your guy is a competitor of Google, or friends with the founders that went his own way, or whatever.

January Layoffs Planned at Kenworth

There is word of more layoffs at Kenworth Truck in Chillicothe.

Several Kenworth employees say they've been told by plant officials that approximately 188 people will be laid-off by January 31st, as the "build rate" of trucks will drop from 150 to 135 due to slowdown in truck market demands.

Orders for heavy trucks nationwide in the month December came in at 20,000. For the past 12 months, there were 179,000 orders for Class 8 trucks, down 64% from 497,000 orders in 2018, and the lowest annual total since 2010, according to FTR Transportation Intelligence.

iHeart Media News has made repeated efforts to obtain comments from Ken Hastings of Kenworth headquarters in Kirkland, Washington, but those calls have not been returned.

The Unique Wedding Concept Ideas

For couples who are married nowadays usually want to marry with unique wedding concept ideas. If in the past the concept of marriage was identical to a long, luxurious procession, now it’s no longer the case.

Who would have thought that a wedding party could be watched from afar without having to go to the building? There are also those who choose bikes compared to luxury vehicles as bridal vehicles. Others choose to organize marriages only with the closest family.

Are you intrigued by the concept of marriage? Come on, see the summary!

Marriage broadcasted live with Internet streaming

Today, a marriage that is broadcast live is more popular among public figures. The couple uses Internet streaming services to broadcast the wedding procession. That way, those who can’t or aren’t invited to attend can watch the couple’s wedding.

Well, you can also use this method to save the budget. Instead of inviting a myriad of guests, you can give an invitation for them to watch your wedding through the streaming broadcast earlier. It is unique, right?

Not only saving budget, friends, and relatives who can’t attend your wedding can still see you and your partner at the wedding.

Of course, what needs to be ascertained when choosing to use live streaming is a fast internet connection.

Married sightseeing

What is married to sightseeing? Married while sightseeing so? Yeah, that’s the way it is.

Married couples will invite the family to hold a wedding in another area. Usually, the areas must have memories for the couple.

If you invite many people, you will certainly spend a lot of money. But if only the nuclear family is invited, funds can be cut.

The experience of marriage is certainly more memorable and unique. The wedding procession feels more intimate, private, and certainly fun, because it is held in a place that does have its own memories for couples.

Party in the home garden

The concept of marriage is rather difficult to implement in Indonesia, but that does not mean it is not possible. If you have a large enough yard, you can use the location as a wedding venue. This is certainly far more economical than building rent, right?

If you don’t have a garden in your yard, then a house can be a place for receptions. You can make attractive decorations to make it luxurious.

Replace catering with a snack cart

Instead of ordering expensive catering, a unique alternative that you can try is to hold the owner of a heavy-duty food cart or snack. This concept will be more interesting because it rarely makes it like this, right?

You can contact the snack cart merchants that you have subscribed to. For example, hawker carts, subscription, roasted chicken, and so on. This concept matches the marriage of the people’s party theme. Don’t forget to decorate the cart as attractive as possible so that it will be better.

Change car vehicles by bicycle

Usually, brides use the car as a vehicle to the location of the wedding. But you need to pay for the car rental as well as the driver’s services. Plus there are still car decoration fees.

Another alternative that is unique but cheap is just using a bicycle. In addition to bicycles, you can also choose rickshaws as other options.

From some unique wedding concept ideas above, which one do want you to apply at your wedding later? Or, do you have other unique ideas?

Some noisome relic behind my eyes
Panty line of blue dips between street facades
So few children braid street door numbers anymore
Matrilineal dialects gone makes bugs in my head
Vapid mainlanders unaware walk on hand-helds

Make me merciful O Dog in pandemonium
integrity and ill health to forgive those
who do not know they are surrounded

Breath-temp gust moist lips late with runny hours
Pre-existing borders I can’t tell from
rhymes I hear in a vacuum
Roscoe comes on after dark air heats waves up
Let’s say my next step is finality and
the one after is empty staves

By autumn I don’t mean powdered bones
don’t mean uproot olives
Decline tells in a tarnished yellow on masonry
Shawls in late afternoon fruit plucked with insight
Multicolor ladders wait for frost
How many earth days equal winner take all

Horizon at your-guess-as-good-as-mine level
Leery dissent of the glut come to rest mid rotation
In all directions unhoneyed speech
Table shines under your hand that spreads like
a puppet airman on the last planet he would ever expect

Granite Bowels

I count lit windows
Less dread sparkles on lapels
Water whirls by river railing and
first-quarter moon clings
like an off-white crawling man

I cut myself off at the Sunoco
I imagine myself sun-baked lizard
When I am young and flight then
is more than survival
Now it is to defend pillow case
and boudoir of a goddess
Trace of black lip gloss
in her granite bowels

Acute feelings of my body
don’t come from my body anymore
Glass and steel without glass humors me
Die or cover my head with scaffolds
Foreboding is a comic kind of reckless

So, I want ululating grief?
Far from frontlines far from peace

‘This is not a normal election’: Charges laid over Eden-Monaro email scam

A man has been charged with telecommunications offences after allegedly sending fake emails to voters about Eden-Monaro by-election Labor candidate Kristy McBain.

The 32-year-old Blacktown man was arrested by federal police during a search warrant at his house and charged with one count of using a telecommunications service to menace, harass or cause offence.

The AFP commenced an investigation following reports of spam emails, which appeared to be from legitimate sources, being sent from an unidentified user to the Australian community and various organisations.

The emails were “offensive and harassing in nature”, the AFP say.

The untruthful emails allegedly claimed the Labor candidate had dropped out of the race after contracting COVID-19 and being admitted to hospital.

Shadow agriculture minister Joel Fitzgibbon told Deborah Knight “COVID has changed the political dynamic”, but while Labor is facing a “tough” election, he’s confident Ms McBain will get across the line.

“This is not a normal by-election. The advantages of incumbency are enormous.”

Energy Minister Angus Taylor admitted to Deborah Knight the government is going into the by-election on the back foot.

“On average we get a 3.8 swing against governments in by-elections, and the government hasn’t won a seat like this in 100 years.

“But you know, Fiona [Kotvojs] is a fantastic candidate.”

Stop worrying about these 3 things

1 – Chemicals

As far back as 5 years ago the fitness industry became obsessed with ‘eating clean’ which basically encouraged a very restrictive type of diet. It was all based around eating foods as natural as possible (which isn’t a bad thing) but was very anti-eating anything processed.

Why? Well there was 1 particular course that myself and around 300-400 other fitness professionals attended that basically told us that any foods with additives to preserve their shelf lives were full of ‘toxins’.

I’m cringing just writing this now but apparently the body didn’t recognize ‘toxins’ and therefore immediately dumped them in the fat cells.

So basically if you ate cereal, a cake, maybe some biscuits – because of the ‘toxic’ additives the body would simply store fat. Notice there was no mention of calories at all there.

And of course we all bought into it and came away preaching to our clients about ‘super strict’ clean eating and only giving your body natural food so you could give up the nasty toxins from the liver and lose weight.

I can safely say that trying to eat this way, combined with being a dad to young kids and with little sleep, had me verging on an eating disorder and constantly feeling guilty for not being able to sustain it and subsequently binging on ‘un-clean’ food.

Thankfully there is a more common sense message in the industry now and a focus on calories in versus calories out.

There is also an understanding that all foods contain ‘chemicals’ even ‘healthy’ foods.

This means that no foods should be off limit; yes you can eat a little chocolate or the odd bowl of cereal and still lose weight!

As for detoxifying to lose weight, if someone even mentions the word, please run a mile and save yourself the misery that I went through!

2 – Bread

I absolutely love bread and in my younger and fatter days would eat a load of it, thinking it was okay because it was the brown type.

I was miserable and overweight despite flogging myself half to death training.

Now when I got into the fitness industry, started to learn more about nutrition and also move a lot more (I went from a driving job sat on my arse to being on my feet all day coaching) I lost weight and fast.

This was down to, what I believed to be, going on a very low carb diet, basically eliminating all starches like pasta, rice and of course bread and replacing with a tonne of green veggies.

I lost weight, I got lean and my energy was good so of course I blamed the old me being fat due to things like bread.

‘I’ll never eat bread again” I told myself and also preached this to all of my clients.

What I didn’t realize at the time is that I was simply reducing my calories massively by replacing the amount of bread (pasta and rice etc) I was eating with a tonne of green veggies.

Veggies contain very little calories and fill you up nicely and we also don’t tend to binge on greens like we can do on bread.

Notice I said ‘amount’ of bread – yes I wasn’t just eating 2 slices a day I could easily eat up to 8 if you included my breakfast lunch and evening meal.

Now in the long run, did I really want to give up bread totally? No because toast with butter is tasty and also bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese are sensational too!

So these days with an understanding of energy balance (calories in versus calories out) I don’t have too. If I want the odd slice of toast or bagel then I’ll have it, I understand that the danger is in the dosage. 2 slices of toast a day probably isn’t going to be a danger to the waistline 8 or so will and isn’t it easy to eat 8 slices of toast right?

Not one food group will make you fat, it’s the amount you eat that will do that. Bread is easy to over-eat on, it doesn’t mean however that bread alone will make you obese.

3 – Sugar

Once again I hold my hands up, look back and cringe that I used to preach that ‘sugar was toxic’. I also believed that any sugar consumed would lead to an ‘insulin’ spike that would make you fat.

These were down to courses I went on that made me so paranoid I was scared to chew gum incase I had an insulin response and went into fat storage mode!

Thankfully due to getting myself more educated and interviewing a lot of my peers on my podcast I am aware that the danger with anything is in the ‘dosage’.

Sure living off a diet high in sugar is not going to be good for your health but the odd bit of sugar when you have a balanced diet and are moving plenty is not going to harm you.

If you’re diet is too restrictive you are only deemed for failure – trust me when I say that trying to eliminate chemicals, bread and sugar only lead me to binge more on those foods. I don’t want the same for you.

Limited Edition VGK Patches flying off Smith’s shelves

Local News

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — For more than five weeks now, residents have been searching for those hard to come by Vegas Golden Knights NHL patches. Valley residents first learned about the commemorative item on Sept. 24 when Vegas Golden Knights President Kerry Bubolz announced a partnership with Smith’s Food & Drug stores to be the official grocery store of the Vegas Golden Knights.

The team rolled out five exclusive player patches that features popular VGK players, but they can only be purchased at Smith’s.

“We’re excited to partner with a brand whose ethos is so closely aligned with our own, and to connect with Vegas Born fans every day at Smith’s stores. The player patches will give our great fans another creative way to Knight Up and show their support for the team,” said Bubolz, Vegas Golden Knights President.

“We have a limited supply of these collectible player patches, so fans of the Golden Knights should jump on this opportunity to collect all five patches before supplies run out,” said Bryan Sant, Smith’s Vice President of Merchandising.

One fan got in line at 5:45 am when they heard the Ryan Reeves patch was stocked and available on Nov 6.

A different patch was released over the 10 weeks, and it was sold for $9.99. The patches are designed to be ironed on hockey jerseys or sports jackets for fans to celebrate their favorite players.

Some of the past and upcoming release dates are:

  • September 25: Max Pacioretty
  • October 9: Deryk Engelland
  • October 23: Marc-Andre Fleury
  • November 6: Ryan Reaves
  • November 20: William Karlsson

Golden Knights fans ideally can purchase the exclusive player patches at the customer checkout lanes of any Clark County Smith’s store.

The retail price of $9.99 certainly didn’t last long with some patches already being posted online and sold for considerably marked up prices.

There is a five patch purchase limit to allow more fans to acquire an exclusive patch featuring their favorite VGK player.

Smith’s will also host food drives in collaboration with the Golden Knights. Ask your local Smith’s for details.

Abstract: This paper is a report on the implementation and evaluation of a teachers’ in-service training program for the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in school. We focused on teachers as ICT leaders for the use of ICT in each school, and designed and implemented a teachers’ training program to help the ICT leaders encourage other teachers’ use of ICT in their own schools. We evaluated this training program based on Kirkpatrick’s model. The results showed that this training program was useful in encouraging the ICT leaders to promote the use of ICT, and that the teachers in target schools understood and used ICT in class more than the teachers in non-target schools.

Damage from hemlock woolly adelgid, a new tree pest in Alabama.

AUBURN UNIVERSITY, Ala. – A new tree pest has made its way on to the scene in Alabama. Professionals discovered hemlock woolly adelgid, a non-native invasive insect, in DeKalb County, making it the first documented case in the state.

Norm Haley, an Alabama Extension regional agent of forestry, wildlife and natural resources, said this insect feeds on both Eastern and Carolina hemlock trees.

“These insects colonize within a tree and feed on its sap, which ultimately kills the hemlock tree,” Haley said. “Research has found that this insect can either kill or severely injure over 95 percent of untreated trees.”

While hemlocks are not widespread across the state, Beau Brodbeck, an Alabama Extension specialist of community forestry, said these trees are commonly seen in landscapes in parts of north Alabama.

“Hemlock trees are found in portions of northeast Alabama, the Bankhead National Forest and in Birmingham,” Brodbeck said. “People often highly value them in landscapes as tall-growing, ornamental evergreens. An infestation of this tree pest can completely destroy these trees, in turn ruining a person’s landscape.”

Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Webinar

Alabama Extension professionals will host an informative webinar Aug. 10 at Noon CDT to officially announce the discovery of this pest.

The webinar, led by Brodbeck, will also discuss proper management practices such as how to identify hemlock woolly adelgid and how to plan and carry out effective insecticide applications.

“This presentation is a great opportunity for landowners and land managers to learn about this new pest,” Brodbeck said. “The control practices that will be discussed are important for participants to know so they can maintain planted or natural hemlock trees on their properties.”

Webinar Information

This free webinar is through Zoom, an online video platform, that people can access online and by phone. While those who attend by telephone will not be able to view the presentation slides, they will be able to hear all speakers and participate in the question and answer session if they so choose. To attend the webinar online, visit http://auburn.zoom.us/j/92633717191. To join by phone, call 1-646-876-9923 (US TOLL) or 1-301-715-8592 (US TOLL) and input the meeting id 926 3371 7191.
