The rider down foundation a worthy cause
07CHCAchamp posted a topic in General Talk - Anything Goes!In my racing career I have seen many of my friends fallen and badly injured and that is why I am such a strong supporter of the Rider Down Foundation. I personnally had a friend who was paralized while racing and these people are angles on the ground. It is a non profilt organization dedicated to helping up downed riders of all walks of life. I incourage everyone to visit the website at RiderDown and help spread the word of this worthy foundation and what they do to keep us all riding.
Any Hill climb Racers out there
07CHCAchamp posted a topic in ATV Racing & ATV EventsHi I am a pro quad racer from colorado and I was woundering if there were any other hill climb racers on this site. I compete in both the CHCA Colorado Hill Climb Association as well as PPIHC the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. If you have never made it to one of these races you are missing out. Pikes Peak Is the ultimate race and one of the most beutiful places in the whole world. So I would like to invite anyone that is interested to check out the websites colorado hill climb association and PPIHC Home Page to find out more about the quads in Colorado. Who knows I might even see you at the races some day. Sincerely Brady Dimmick 2007 CHCA champion Pro Quad #12

The traditional marketing funnel is no longer the best tool for understanding B2B customers. Here's how to switch to a more efficient model for activating content marketing campaigns.
The marketing funnel is in desperate need of an update.
This simple tool has served B2B marketers well for 120 years. But today, it's long past its best. The customer journey has changed hugely since Elias St Elmo Lewis first described the concept in 1898.
Back then, coal power stations were still cutting‐edge technology. And just as the energy industry is transitioning rapidly to more modern fuel sources, today's marketers need a more efficient way to guide prospects through the customer journey.
As you're about to see, forward‐thinking B2B marketers can already make the switch to a more efficient model for campaign activation.
But before we get to that, we should briefly outline how radically the role of marketing has changed in recent years. That way, you'll be able to see why it's so important for you to act now to change the way you design your campaigns.
Lewis' original marketing funnel was designed to describe the path a buyer takes from when they first encounter a brand to the moment they make a purchase.
In fact, his model still does a pretty good job of describing the emotional journey marketers must take their customers on.
First, you need to grab someone's attention. Then, you have to develop their interest in a challenge you can help them with and turn it into a desire to overcome it. Finally, you must prompt them to take action to fulfil that desire.
Lewis coined the acronym AIDA to describe this process – and it's been a staple of the marketing world ever since.
The problem with this today is that marketers must use content to reach customers far earlier in the decision‐making process than they used to. What's more, a client's initial purchase is just a small part of the potential value of your relationship with them.
Thanks to the internet, customers now have all the information they need at their fingertips to independently assess their own business needs and research potential solutions.
As a result, up to 67 per cent of a typical B2B buyer's journey now involves self‐directed research online – and 80 per cent will read three or more pieces of content before they ever speak with a salesperson.
At the same time, it's becoming increasingly clear that the marketing process doesn't end at the point of purchase. Forbes data shows that 90 per cent of B2B customer value is obtained after the initial sale. As such, marketers can't afford to ignore the impact upsells, cross sells and renewals can have on the company bottom line.
Better yet, generating repeat business from customers who have already been through your marketing funnel is naturally more cost effective than finding new prospects and warming them up from scratch.
All this means that the scope of marketing is getting wider – and the marketing funnel must grow wider with it.
So today, we'll outline how you can send the old marketing funnel the way of the coal fired power station. Along the way, you'll see how to use a new model to develop content activation plans that let you reach prospects with the right content, through the right channels and at the right time.
How the marketing funnel is failing B2B brands
A key issue with the traditional marketing funnel is that it's a 'one size fits all' approach. It implies that everyone joins your campaigns at the top of the funnel and that they then follow the steps you've laid out for them until they get to the end and are ready to buy something.
If only people were that predictable! In reality, there are many paths that may lead someone to decide they should buy from your company – and the marketing funnel of the future should help you take them all into account when planning your campaigns.
First of all, prospects can enter the marketing funnel at any stage of the buying process.
Some may have already identified a need and be ready to buy from you almost immediately. Others will already be aware of your brand and your content but have yet to identify a need you can help with, so still require nurturing through the middle of the funnel.
That means you need content ready to serve the whole customer journey before you launch a new content initiative.
At the same time, the customer journey is non‐linear. Don't expect customers to engage with your white papers, blog posts and other content in any particular order.
Some will skip parts of your funnel in order to make a purchase decision more quickly. Others may flit between top, middle and bottom‐of‐funnel content many times before making a purchase.
According to Demand Gen Report, 16 per cent of buyers will consume more than seven pieces of content before they even speak with a salesperson. Not everyone can be easily funnelled.
In fact, not everyone is even heading to the same destination. You might want to take an ideal prospect on a journey that ends with them making a purchase. But it's also important to remember other stakeholder groups like end users or journalists, where your focus might be providing onboarding content or turning them into advocates for your brand.
For all these reasons, your marketing funnel replacement should look beyond the customers who make their decisions in a simple or predictable fashion and it shouldn't take a generic approach.
You need something that helps you create personalised content experiences which make the buying process as relevant as possible no matter what path a customer decides to take.
That means creating content that addresses the specific themes and ideas your audience cares about and remedies their biggest pain points at each section of the customer journey.
Once you know the key messages you need to convey, the next step is to package and distribute that content in the best formats and channels to reach your audience in the right place and at the right time. Automation technology will have a key role to play here, helping you gather information about ideal prospects and serve them the content they need when they need it.
For example, a research report can be a great way to engage prospects and provide them with useful insights that establish your organisation's industry expertise. But, a content piece that substantial may seem daunting to someone who's unfamiliar with your business.
To engage prospects who aren't ready to read a full report, look for ways to repurpose that content into more easily digestible formats.
Consider publishing some sections as blog posts or infographics and repurposing its most useful insights as social cards to share in your audience's preferred social media channels. Then, use automation software to share this content with prospects who can benefit from your insights.
Of course, this process extends well beyond each customer's initial purchase. As you're about to see, it's equally important when designing your post‐purchase content initiatives.
A new model for the B2B customer journey
The limitations of the traditional marketing funnel mean it's no longer the best model for activating modern B2B content campaigns.
It's too simple to account for the many routes a customer may take on their path to purchase and says nothing about the crucial role content plays in unlocking the value of customer relationships post‐purchase.
That's why we believe it's time to replace this old concept with a new one that more accurately reflects the modern customer journey. We call this new model for campaign activation the 'marketing loop'.
The first thing to note about the marketing loop is that the process doesn't end when a customer buys something.
There will always be opportunities to offer clients additional services, or to enhance their experiences and make them more likely to come to you for repeat business.
For each stage of the loop, consider how you might repurpose your content so you can distribute it in a range of formats and channels and at different stages throughout the customer journey.
As we say, it is just as important to engage key stakeholders outside of your primary audience. Create complementary journey maps for these secondary audiences, considering how their actions will feed into your primary marketing loop and what content pieces will apply to them at each stage.
All this may seem a bit daunting if you're used to designing rudimentary campaigns using the traditional funnel. But, remember that neither the marketing funnel nor the marketing loop actually is the customer journey you're trying to visualise. They just represent it.
A map is not the territory it represents. But, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness
Alfred Korzybski, philosopher
Your success as a marketer depends on using the model that most accurately depicts the journey you need to take your customers on. And as you've seen today, the traditional model just doesn't cut it in the modern age.
Expanding the funnel to include post‐purchase marketing will help you unlock the full value of your customer relationships.
Meanwhile, breaking down hero content into more digestible formats will help you reach less engaged audience members your campaigns would otherwise fail to influence.
The traditional funnel has served marketers well for more than 100 years, but it's no longer the best tool for understanding B2B customers. It's time to switch to a more efficient model for developing your content strategy. It's time to embrace the marketing loop.
Key takeaways
- Different customers will move through the customer journey at different speeds. So, be sure to launch your campaigns with content ready for all stages of the buying process.
- Use a range of formats and channels to communicate with your audience. Bitesize content will help you convey key messages to buyers who aren't ready to engage with meatier content pieces.
- The marketing cycle doesn't end with a customer's initial purchase. You can't afford to ignore the impact upsells, cross sells and renewals can have on the company bottom line.

How My Idiot Friend Made $57.63 In JUST 40 Minutes Doing This WEIRD Little Method Nobody Knows About!
Hey guys… Billie here.
Got something a little different for you today.
As you know – I'm all about showing you cool ways of making money online. Well, this particular method is a little "out there" if you know what I mean.
But don't worry, this method super easy to do… Plus you'll have a blast doing this as well 😉
As it goes, I told a close friend of mine who needed to generate some quick cash that didn't require all that mumble-jumble internet marketing stuff you've gotta learn nowadays.
So I shared a strategy with him that didn't have an ounce of "internet marketing" in it… Yet made money quickly and easily.
The end result… He made $57.63 in JUST 40 minutes of doing this one little "trick"!
But that's not all, not only did he make $57.63 in 40 minutes… But he could spend it as soon as he earned it!
So there's no waiting around like some of those affiliate and CPA network to transfer your money over that takes like 30 days to get it after you earned it…
As soon as he earned it, he could spend it
As you can imagine, my friend was proper stoked about this, in fact he was a little annoyed with me for not sharing it with him till now lol.
But hey, if you don't ask, you don't get right.
But anyway – he now does this 3 to 5 times a week and he's making some good money doing this, so this got me thinking…
If it's helping my good friend – who's absolutely useless with computers and this whole internet marketing thing… Then I reckon it'll help my Blog readers and email subscribers too.
And this is where you come in 😉
I know – like me – that you're always on the look out for easy ways of make some quick cash… No matter how weird or "out there" it is.
So I figured I'd grab this super quick video from my pal James and reveal to you what it is exactly.
Trust me, I think you're really gonna be blown away when you see this – mainly because it's not the usual stuff I share or teach.
But hey, money's money… And that's all what matters right
So here's the video, and of course… Let me know by leaving a comment down below… Always love to hear your thoughts on it 🙂
===Tools & Resources Mentioned In The Video===
Free $688 a day video course <== Some guy made $25000 in 30 days doing this!
Impressive stuff, huh …But if you thought this method of making money was cool… Then you're gonna absolutely adore what I've got for you here.
It's basically a complete system that walks you through a powerful system you can use right now to generate a $1000+ a day online… Even if you have ZERO internet marketing experience!
Seriously. In fact, a lot of normal folk who watched this video are making around $300 to $500 a day after 3 months of implementing this very method here.
So yeah, if you're serious about generating a massive, passive income online that literally runs itself on complete auto pilot, then this – without a shadow of a doubt – is for you.
>> Watch & Implement this $1000+ day method right here! <<<

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.tk
Glancing through the many pieces of magic equipment and precious materials, Leylin set his gaze on a pile of crystals.
These were all pure spiritual force crystals. On their surfaces, he could faintly feel the energy of elemental particles.
Crystal Phase Magi had the tendency to stockpile their crystallised spiritual force. In times of need, they would use them to replenish their own spiritual force, or trade them for something else due to their value.
Leylin's move had been quick and violent, leaving no opportunity for the opposite side to use such tactics.
Compared to the spiritual force crystals gifted by Freya, these crystals were obviously unclean, and had to be processed before use. "Crystal Phase spiritual force crystals…"
Leylin stroked his chin, and a tube of golden blood appeared in his hand.
"It's unexpected that I managed to gather these two items so quickly. I guess I'll just go ahead and carry out Quicksand's experiment!" Leylin sighed, and his eyes flashed with a dark solemnness.
His harvest from Quicksand Castle had been much greater than just the Lamia fingerbone.
After he finished deciphering the experimental procedures, the great amount of data became useful for his own bloodline research. Over the past century, he'd digested it all, and even improved on some of it. The technique of preserving his genes was just a marginal result of the experiment.
In fact, Leylin felt that his research into bloodlines was amongst the best in the entire Ouroboros Clan, just below that of the elders.
And one of his experiments involved a method of igniting a Warlock's bloodline to strengthen them.
Leylin had kept this experiment top secret, unwilling to perform it even after he advanced to the Crystal Phase. The effect of the first ignition would be the best, and subsequent ones would progressively decrease in value. Hence, Leylin planned to use his first ignition to break through the bottleneck to the Morning Star realm.
Of course, one measly experiment would not be able to propel him to rank 4. Moreover, he was only at the beginning of the Crystal Phase, so he hadn't even reached the threshold for advancement.
There was an enormous gap between rank 3 Magi and those at the Morning Star realm. There was an abundance of Magi in the central continent, yet Morning Stars remained few and far between, their positions envied by all.
Igniting one's bloodline had the potential to boost one's strength greatly, and even that had slim chances of facilitating a breakthrough.
Still, this bloodline experiment wasn't the only trick Leylin had up his sleeve.
"My cumulations to advance to rank 3 have been progressing well! I have to start considering the next stage—Morning Star…" Leylin stroked his chin, evidently pleased.
The central continent was currently in a dire state, especially the Ouroboros Clan. Not only were there disturbances on the borders, many families had perished and core members had gone missing. These disastrous events were a bad omen for the future.
Amidst such chaos, the best defence one could rely on was their own ability!
"I'm sure Mentor Gilbert and the other two have already been alerted about the circumstances. Why are they yet to make a move?" Leylin muttered under his breath. Suddenly, he thought about his own appointment as an enforcer. "Perhaps they were aware of it and had secret plans of their own that I might have missed noticing it…"
Time crawled on as he waited in silence.
Later, Leylin welcomed the presence of his own bodyguards. Boosting his own confidence was the presence of Lucian.
"Do you really wish to do that?" Lucian stood in front of Leylin, unable to mask his astonishment.
After finding out that the current Leylin had advanced, and was on par with him at the Crystal Phase, he sighed in his heart.
This junior only needed a hundred years to catch up to his level. His talent exceeded any member the organisation had ever seen even in Morning Star seeds. And yet, compared to the temperamental Robin, Leylin whose potential was much higher remained humble and earnest. Lucian found this extremely admirable.
"If we investigate further, the number of people implicated in this will increase… Although Mentor ordered me to assist you…" Lucian, after seeing the current Leylin, felt that this junior ought to have wholeheartedly entered seclusion, waiting for an opportunity to break through the Morning Star bottleneck instead of focusing on such small matters. He wondered what his mentor was thinking.
Thoughts about Gilbert made Lucian heave a big sigh.
To these high-ranking Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlocks, the allure of the Purgatory World was much too huge, and they couldn't help but be engrossed in their search.
Thinking about the recent situations and Leylin's terrifying military power, Lucian heaved another big sigh.
"I'm in charge of information in the clan. I can give you anything you need. My only wish is for you to not get yourself involved!" Lucian smiled bitterly, took out a translucent crystal ball, and handed over to Leylin.
"As an enforcer, it is imperative that I locate the rebels and all the disruptive elements hidden in the Ouroboros Clan and get rid of them!" Leylin smiled faintly, as if he was not affected by Lucian's words. But once his spiritual force entered the crystal ball, his face changed.
"The situation has deteriorated to such an extent?" He looked up in disbelief and glared at Lucian.
"Yes…" he answered after a heartbeat, "The chaotic power struggles are not confined to the border regions. Even internally, some ambiguous problems have cropped up. Some of the clans and families especially, their betrayal is pretty much confirmed…"
This top secret information was only available to Leylin because he currently held the position of an enforcement officer. If it were in the past when he only held the position of a Marquis, he wouldn't have access to such things.
'What exactly is Mentor doing?' The thought left a bitter taste in Leylin's mouth.
"There's no need for excessive worry. As long as we don't lose our main base at Phosphorescence Swamp, given the presence of the three elders, we of the Ouroboros Clan will never be vulnerable and weak."
Leylin let loose a long sigh before he stood up.
"I want the list of confirmed traitors!"
"Alright, I'll ready them immediately," Lucian promised, "What do you plan to do?"
"No matter what, since they have the audacity to betray the Organization, they will have to pay the price!" Leylin spoke with a steely voice. With his men behind him, he headed out.
"The Stuart Family at the Stuart mountain range!"
Black fires were blazing furiously. A large number of high-ranking Warlocks were surrounding a huge mountainous brutal bear.
Behind the bear was a fort that was half-built into the cliffside.
"Enforcer Leylin, I demand an explanation for this!" In the middle of the castle, the silhouette of an old Magus appeared. It entered the sky, becoming a huge projection.
"Even though you are an enforcer, you do not have the authority to besiege the castle of a Marquis!" The illusory image of the old man roared in his hoarse voice.
"Authority? Only the weak will abide by such rules and regulations while wishing that their predators would abide by them in this way too. By placing your hopes on such enforcements is truly foolish!"
Leylin sneered. Still, on the account of the other men that went on this mission with him, he decided to explain further, "If I have to give you an explanation, it would be your betrayal of the Organization. That is why all these Warlocks are out to kill you, and that is why you cannot escape your fate!"
"Rubbish…" Having his biggest secret exposed, the Magus acted like he knew nothing and was hearing it for the first time. Veins popped out of his flushed neck and he fumed with anger.
"True or false, we'll know after you surrender." Leylin's face was emotionless. A brilliant ray of black ripped through the vast sky and streaked across the brutal bear's head mercilessly.
*Bang!* The huge mountainous brutal bear's head was cracked open like a watermelon.
"So long as they are from the Stuart Family, we have orders to kill them without exception. Property and assets will also be confiscated. We'll be given bonuses of equivalent value!" Parker ordered clearly. Those Warlocks thirsty for achievements, and those who longed for the huge payout from the mission, howled and dashed forward.
Seeing Snoopy taking the lead and defeating one Magus after the other, some even dying on the spot, Leylin couldn't help but nod his head.
The reason he'd taken on the job of enforcer, other than to acquire the huge wealth of the rebels, was for him to bring his men together for a round of actual field training.
The bloody battle of magic and death carried on for a short while. Ten or so minutes later, Parker grabbed the Magus that had been speaking from the fort, and pulled him out. With the matter settled, he stood in front of Leylin and reported like a loyal long-time butler.
"Except for this old man, all surviving members of the Stuart Family had been wiped out!"
"Well done!" Leylin looked at the high-ranking Warlock on the ground. The opposite party evidently had the Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline in him too, yet when he saw Leylin, he began to shiver.
"Do you feel resentment? Desperation?" Leylin stepped up, provoking the old Magus.
"Hopefully, the next time, before your soul is destroyed, you should use some brains!"
*Thud!* After Leylin was done speaking the chief's head fell to the ground, staining it red.
"A total of three Giant Kemoyin Serpent Families have been wiped out, along with their supplementary small-scale families and other influences. I think we'll have some peace for a while now…"
Standing at the edge of the overhanging cliff, Leylin glanced at the result of the destruction caused by many Magi, involuntarily heaving a sigh of relief.
"Only a while?" Standing by the side, Parker smiled bitterly.
After numerous episodes, Leylin's reputation had spread everywhere. With his formidable strength that could even slay Crystal Phase chiefs, he'd immediately established his status.
Soon after, through the ruthless means of wiping out entire families and clans, Leylin's fame as an enforcer became even more widespread. Thus, he was labelled 'Annihilator'.

Research Study
Retirement Savings and Spending Study
Preparing for Retirement
The Lost Generation Comes of Age
About the Study
T. Rowe Price engaged Brightwork Partners to conduct a national study of 3,022 adults aged 18 and older who have never retired and are currently contributing to a 401(k) plan or eligible to contribute and have a balance of at least $1,000. The online survey was conducted from March 3–14, 2017.
For more information on these and other findings from Retirement Savings and Spending 3, and other generational research, please contact your T. Rowe Price representative.
Sandwiched between Baby Boomers and Millennials, Generation X (Gen X) is sometimes titled the "lost" generation. Americans born between 1965 and 19801 entered the workforce beginning in the 1990s, and are now likely well established in their careers. For most, early career financial priorities – paying off college loans and buying the first home – are behind them. Raising children and paying for their educations are current priorities, and retirement is coming into their consciousness, particularly as many observe their parents in the early stages of their own retirements.
For plan sponsors and advisors, Gen X has reached the prime position for targeted communications regarding retirement preparedness – the "sweet spot" when awareness and concern are rising, and there's still plenty of time to adopt strategies and adjust them.
With this in mind, T. Rowe Price has focused the latest installment of its annual participant study2 on Gen X. The findings provide valuable insights for sponsors and advisors who want to ensure that their plans garner maximum employee satisfaction among a group of participants often influential among coworkers.
This paper profiles Gen X's financial goals and progress, their expectations, their attitudes toward advice, and a number of other factors, along with insights and suggestions from T. Rowe Price for plan sponsors and advisors as they design and operate 401(k) plans.
Gen X: Financial Goals and Progress
We asked all respondents about 16 different financial objectives. For all generations, the objective most often cited as "major" is "Having Financial Peace of Mind." More than half of Gen X respondents identify it and four of the other objectives as major.
|Gen X: Major Objective
|Gen X: Some Progress
|Gen X: Great Deal of Progress
|Gen X: Total Progress
|Overall, having financial peace of mind
|Maintaining an acceptable quality of life
|Saving for retirement through your current 401(k),or other workplace retirement plans currently held by you or other members of your household or through previous workplace retirement plans held by you or other members of your household
|Reducing what you owe on debt such as college loans, credit cards or home equity lines of credit3
|Managing and budgeting for day-to-day expenses
For Gen X respondents there were some priorities where they placed more (or in other cases less) emphasis on the priority than did the overall population. They place more emphasis than the national average on saving for college and reducing student loan and other debt. They place less emphasis than the national average on contributing to charity, saving for a primary residence, and saving for retiree healthcare expenses. That prioritization makes sense across the life stages—the closer retirement gets the more focus it receives, particularly as other financial goals (saving for a first home or starting a business) are either achieved or no longer seen as viable.
Gen X reports progress on the five goals they most often identify as major, with three-quarters or more reporting at least some progress on each. Among the five most-often cited as major objectives, it seems that Gen X is having the greatest struggle with reducing debt, including college loans. Here, as many as 25% report not very much or practically none for progress.
Note: Progress is based on those citing each priority as a major or minor objective.
|Gen X 401(k) Contribution as a % of Personal Income4
Gen X: Contributions to Plans
In general, members of Gen X are not contributing enough to their 401(k) plans to achieve the retirement goals they've set for themselves, and they know it. On average, their perception is that they should be saving at the rate of 11% of earnings.
In actual practice, they're saving 9% on average, and fully 59% are saving less than 10%.
T. Rowe Price recommends a contribution rate of 15% (including any employer contribution), but starting in one's 20s. After a decade or more of not saving at these rates, the appropriate amount for most Gen X members is likely considerably higher5.
A Word of Caution
Millions of people defy broad generalizations, and some delight in doing so. We work hard to identify generational differences, and then without any effort can point out dozens of exceptions to each classification. Plan participants, too, are ultimately unique individuals with varying levels of engagement, understanding, and preparedness for retirement. We study generational differences to help us create tools and communications strategies to help as many people as possible, always recognizing that any strategy or tool is not directed exclusively at one generation or another.
Major Reason for Not Contributing to My 401(k)6
|Contributing all I can afford
|Paying back debt other than college loans
|Saving for retirement through other vehicles
|Don't want to lock up money I might need soon
|Saving for a child's education
|Paying back college loans
|Don't need to save for retirement
Gen X participants offer a number of explanations as to why they're not saving at higher rates. Like all respondents, around half of Gen X respondents report that they are contributing as much as they can afford, as with the other generations, the most cited reason. Typical of the national average, this group is struggling to prioritize a number of both short- and long-term financial demands described above.
As reported in our earlier report, Participants and the Advice They Want, we reported that the number-one source of help and advice for participants is the provider of their employer's 401(k) plan. Given that, the multitude of objectives, and the need to prioritize them, sponsors have the opportunity to contribute to financial wellness not only by providing a retirement savings vehicle, but by offering one that enables the participant to view, plan, and prioritize holistically.
Retirement Expectations
Most Gen X respondents expect to retire in their 60s or later. Unlike their millennial counterparts, where an optimistic 26% expect to retire before age 60, only 12% of Gen Xers do. We asked respondents about how their accumulated savings and current saving practices will affect the nature of their retirements. Gen X responses are shown in Figure 4. There are definite mixed emotions here, with roughly as many optimists as there are pessimists. About a third expects to have enough to pay for healthcare and to live as well in retirement as they did when working. At the opposite end of the spectrum, just over a third expects to have to reduce their standard of living and about a quarter expect their money to run out. The expectation of half that they will work part time in retirement may not be entirely pessimistic as people live longer and many retirees work because they want to, not out of necessity.
|Retirement Expectation
|Gen X
|Will work at least part time in retirement
|Will have to reduce my standard of living
|Will have enough money to pay for health care
|Will live as well or better as I did when I was working
|Will run out of money
|Will be able to leave money to family members or charities
|Will be able to help out younger family members with tuition or housing expenses
When it comes to Social Security, the majority (56%) of Gen X expects that it will be bankrupt by the time they retire. A full 73% agree with this statement: "I'm expecting some Social Security benefits when I retire but nothing as generous as what today's retirees get."
Gen X and Advice
For each financial priority we asked respondents about the type of support and advice they'd like to receive, if any. The types of advice include:
- Selecting investments to achieve this objective
- Figuring out how much you need to save to achieve this objective
- Tracking your progress toward this objective and making changes as necessary
- Deciding whether this objective is more important than others and whether it should be funded first or later
When we examine their responses against their top-five priorities, Gen X is fairly comfortable without support and advice, with the exception of saving for retirement within their current 401(k) plan, and there, the advice most often cited is tracking progress.
However, when non-top-five priorities are considered, this group does want support and advice, particularly on retirement-related priorities. For example, 31% of Gen X respondents want help figuring out how much to save for retirement in vehicles outside their current 401(k) plans, and 16% want help in prioritizing saving for healthcare in retirement.
|No Advice
|Selecting Investments
|Amount to Save
|Tracking Progress
|Overall, having financial piece of mind
|Maintaining an acceptable quality of life
|Saving for retirement through your current 401(k)
|Reducing what you owe on debt such as college loans, credit cards or home equity lines of credit
|Managing and budgeting for day-to-day expenses
Generation or Age Group
It's important to remember the distinction between "age group" and "generation." This paper describes findings about respondents to our survey who in 2017 were aged 36-51, the ages of people in "Generation X," In some cases, the findings might be attributable to behavior or attitudes of Generation X (e.g., Gen X tends to be more skeptical). In other cases, the findings might be attributable to age group. (i.e., people who are midcareer, raising families, etc.) and are behaving as previous mid-career people did. We think the findings are important for retirement plan sponsors and advisors, regardless of the cause and will leave the causal analysis to the psychologists and sociologists.
Financial advisors seeking to expand their practices might do well to focus on Gen X. For each of the financial priorities we discussed, more Gen X respondents want advice than their Baby Boomer counterparts, and they have higher balances than Millennials. For advisors dealing with high-balance Gen X clients, the conflicting priorities, and multiple retirement-related options suggest a holistic broad plan that includes prioritization and tracking. Increased comfort or complacency with investing doesn't necessarily mean that these participants have made the right choices – or can't benefit from an investment review and rebalancing. It does suggest a different way to initiate the conversation.
For plan sponsors, those conflicts and the need for tracking suggest a program that focuses on overall financial wellness, with rich prioritization and tracking tools.
Gen X: Assets, Investing and Debt
This generation reports average household financial assets of $601,000 up from $540,000 in 2015. The bulk of these assets (80%) is in tax-qualified retirement plans from current or former employers.
While 21% of their assets are in asset allocation funds (including target date, target risk, and/or balanced products), it is with these investments that Gen X is most satisfied. 81% reported that they were somewhat or very satisfied with their investments overall, and 91% are somewhat or very satisfied with their target date products.
This Generation is more heavily in debt than either Baby Boomers or Millennials. For those having household debt other than first mortgages, the average level of debt is $84,000 vs. $53,000 for Boomers and $73,000 for Millennials. And, fully 36% report debt levels of over $50,000.

The "lost generation" is finding itself. With significant progress on financial goals and an eye toward paying for their children's educations and saving for retirement, this generation is focused but not fully confident. They expect to work into retirement. Saving an average of 9% of their incomes, and most believe that it's all they can afford. Importantly they want help and support, and for it they turn most often to the provider of their 401(k) plan. As the age group with a clearer focus and retirement and the time to prepare, they are an important target for both plan sponsors and financial advisors.
Considerations for Sponsors
- Aim communication strategies at this group
- Ensure that your provider has a clear Financial Wellness strategy
- Provide robust budgeting, prioritization, and tracking tools
- Consider auto-solutions
- Include quality target date funds
Considerations for Advisors
- Target this group for advice
- Provide holistic solutions that consider debt levels and assets beyond the 401(k) plan
- Include periodic follow up discussions with a focus on remaining on track
- Support plan sponsors in provider searches with a focus on Financial Wellness

Lifestyle choices, location, health, and availability of a partner's income have significant impact on the amount needed, and therefore on the savings rate.

Music department hosts annual Band-o- Rama
March 7, 2019
Band-o-Rama is an enthralling concert of band students throughout the district, coming together from Comanche Middle School, Dodge City Middle School, and Dodge City High School to perform at the Civic Center.
The prep work of organizing and planning the order of the concert took the directors three days. The community helped place seats for the students on the court of the Civic Center that made it quicker and easier.
Students practiced their music for months. The middle schools had just participated in MS WAC Festival for the year.
"It is my favorite part of the show, seeing the sixth through eighth graders and being able to hear and be reminded as a teacher of the large progression in just two years," said Hollyann Sewell, DCHS assistant band director.

Report: Dustin Poirier is injured and off UFC 230 against Nate Diaz
Hours after the UFC moved to improve its UFC 230 card in Madison Square Garden, the most anticipated fight of the night is off.
Lightweight Dustin Poirier, who was to fight Stockton's Nate Diaz in a co-main-event, has withdrawn, according to several reports, with an undisclosed injury.
UFC President Dana White confirmed Poirier is injured and off the card to the Los Angeles Times but he didn't respond to the questions if Diaz will remain on the card or who he'll fight if he does.
White texted The Times late Tuesday and said, "Diaz also will not fight on the card."
The news broke just after White told the network he'll headline the Nov. 3 Madison Square Garden card with two-division champion Daniel Cormier's first heavyweight title defense, against No. 2-rated Derrick Lewis.
Louisiana's Poirier (24-5), the UFC's No. 3-rated lightweight who's gone unbeaten in his last five fights with one no-contest, further enlivened his showdown with Diaz on social media by arguing over Diaz's push to make the fight a catch-weight bout at 165 pounds.
White has said he doesn't want to create a new 165-pound division and was resistant to the request of Diaz, whom White has long battled.
Diaz (20-11) hasn't fought since losing a narrow decision in his classic August 2016 rematch against Conor McGregor in Las Vegas.

discover Crete
Go to Crete
Most people believe that Crete is an Island.
In fact is very long and high mountain dropped in the sea , to separate the Aegean from Libyan Sea. As the southern part of Europe, and a link between three continents Asia, Africa and Europe.
Crete couldn't be a unique Mediterranean without its picturesque villages and their authentic character.
Often retreated to the mountains, surrounded by nature of snow covered mountains, and down to small valleys, with olive and orange trees, the visitor has a lot of nice discoveries once leaves the main roads from the North to meet these villages.
Beautiful beaches, high mountains, traditional lifestyle, Cretan hospitality.
Archaeological interests, picturesque villages, deep gorges, mix with good wine ,great varieties of cheese , Local tasteful plates in every tavern, together with dance and religious summer festivities.
Rent a house directly from owners in Crete and Santorini for summer holidays, offers the best way for quite holidays, time to spend as you wish in calm, having breakfasts and lunches at whatever time you like, been with locals around or alone, and the most important , spending less than hotels.
Our houses and studios to rent, are located away from huge hotels and mass tourism, in villages by the sea and considered to be most nice places to stay in Crete.
What about Chania ?
Walk in the narrow streets of the city, early in the morning or late at night, inside the labyrinth of old Venetian palaces, Turkish wooden facades and twisting Greek concrete houses… … You will hear voices coming from the stones, whispering stories of the past in Arabic, Latin, Turkish, Hebrew or… Greek.
The stones are murmuring secrets of past lives : the happiness, sorrows, hopes and fears of so many generations which were born, grew up, fell in love and died within.
From the top of the Venetian fortifications girdling the old town, one can hear these conversations pursued above the city's roofs.
The fortifications surround the remaining two minarets, the Egyptian lighthouse and the mosque of Giali Tzamisi at the port's entry, the synagogue of Chania, the Catholic church and the Orthodox cathedral's bell towers. Centuries, religions, people come and go, but the prisoners of Chania's charm keep coming back every year and at every opportunity.

The Traitor General is a character from the 2000 AD series Rogue Trooper and Hunted. He was a Souther military commander who believed that the Southers should stop their galaxy-wide war of attrition with the Norts so that all of humanity could band together and fight alien species, whom he saw as the real threat, under strong Nort leadership. His superiors responded by demoting him, putting him in charge of the war on a single planet, Nu Earth, which had been so badly damaged by chemical weapons that no normal human could survive there without protective clothing.
In retaliation, the Traitor General gave the Norts information about the Southers' groundbreaking 'Genetic Infantryman' programme, which had elite blue-skinned super-soldiers who could survive in the toxic air of Nu Earth without wearing chem-suits. This lead to almost all of the Genetic Infantryman, or GIs, being massacred by Norts at the Quartz Zone. The only surviving GI was Rogue, who slotted the biochips containing the personalities of three of his dead comrades — Helm, Gunnar and Bagman — into his equipment. He then embarked on a long and arduous quest to find the Traitor General and bring him to justice.
The Traitor General was well aware of his pursuer, and that he had earned the enmity of both sides in the war, who each wanted him dead for their own reasons. At one point, he made a deal with the alien criminal cartel known as the Xianta, offering to trade them the Rogue Trooper in return for giving him a new face (his original one having been burned away when a pod he was in came down in flames), a new identity and a fortune on which to retire in luxury. This plan fell through when Rogue escaped the Traitor's trap — partly because the Norts, who were disgusted by the Traitor's double-dealing even though it had benefited them, had sent a squad of soldiers after him (one of whom was Atalia Jaegir). Most of the Norts survived just long enough to mess up the Traitor General's cunning plan before, as is the tradition for Norts on Nu Earth, dying noisily. The Traitor General himself fled in an aircraft.

What is axe beta?
The most effective way to build accessible websites and apps is to incorporate accessibility testing into the earliest stages of your development process. Automated accessibility tools like axe have done a lot to help ensure that developers are catching issues while they code, but a lot of accessibility issues still require additional testing performed by an expert.

Here in Latvia, the kingdom of the sprat, we're so obssessed about fish that things aren't as simple as they once were. We no longer talk about spices or methods of preparation. Instead, we tell stories and dream up tales about big fish, little fish, about brave fishermen and beautiful girls who know how to prepare fish that is so delicious that we're praised from near and afar.
This passion for fish is the inspiration for the brand Amberfish*. The name refers to the Baltic Sea, Latvia's artisanal traditions and, of course, the most valuable treasure of the Baltic Sea – amber.
The products we present to you are not only the result of generations of practice and refinement, they are beautiful tales to illustrate our passion for our trade.
Meet us in Japan-Latvian National stand:Hall 2, Booth 2E40
We would like to inform you that FOODEX JAPAN 2020 will take place March 10-13, 2020 at Makuhari Messe, Japan.
Although we will not have a booth at the 2020 FoodEx, we kindly invite you to the show and meet us 1-on-1 in Hall 2, Booth 2E40 to discuss possible future cooperation with our traditional artisan Baltic sardine products.
* Amberfish is a brand by SIA SFT Seafood. For a number of years now, this brand has been one of Latvia's best sprats.

Speaking at the Third Plenary Session at the 12th Manama Dialogue in Bahrain, Dr Ng noted that as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) lost ground in Iraq and Syria, foreign fighters would attempt to return to their home countries to perpetrate attacks, spread ISIS' extremist ideology and establish another self-proclaimed caliphate outside of the Middle East.
But while the problem transcends borders and nationality, Dr Ng added that more can be done within the region and internationally. "When we work together, it strengthens capabilities and interoperability, and demonstrates our shared commitment to counter terrorism in the region."
"This approach is also scalable, and grows more effective as more players contribute," he added.
Dr Ng added that the battle against extremist terrorism is, at its heart, an ideological one. "We need to counter ISIS' spread of falsehoods and half-truths that have led astray many susceptible victims, many youngsters from around the world," he said. "Behind each statistic are lives blighted and families torn apart."
Organised by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the Manama Dialogue is a key security forum for the Gulf Region and serves as a platform for senior defence, security and foreign affairs officials from around the world to discuss regional security challenges. Singapore has been attending the dialogue since its inception in 2004.

Retailers and manufacturers are under constant pressure to develop products and services that maximize sales and profit, and keep customers returning.
Your success relies on having the most up-to-date retail sales data to understand which technical consumer goods products are performing well in the market—and which are not. You need to know what is selling, where, when, and at what price point. This knowledge gives you control to respond with both tactical and strategic decisions that will drive commercial growth and increase ROI.
Our POS Tracking helps you measure your market share and brand performance, and benchmark it against your competition. We have built the world's largest retail panel, and track products and deliver insights based on actual sales data from both retailer and reseller.
I truly believe that it would be impossible to succeed in our business without the GfK Point of Sales Tracking data.
Heiko Erhard
Marketing Strategy and Planning, Sony
GfK's weekly data helps us to adjust forecasts and promotions rapidly, and to plan for crucial sales periods. It allows us to act based on what feels like live data, giving us increased visibility to maximize our business.
Andrew Line,
Head of Consumer PC & Visuals 4P Lenovo UK and Ireland
You can choose to have our POS insights delivered weekly, monthly or less frequently, depending on your business goals. Looking at the tracking from a strategic perspective, with our quarterly or monthly POS insights you can size markets, identify patterns, monitor channel dynamics and develop a detailed understanding of global and local market trends from the "big picture" macro level down to an individual product level. This allows you to optimize your product assortment, distribution and pricing strategy.
The weekly delivery is ideal for tactical decision making. Week-by-week you receive sell-out insights for your own and competing products across all relevant channels, online and offline on single item level. This helps you understand promotional effectiveness, improve retail negotiations, steer your activities, monitor critical launches, and exploit seasonal peaks such as Black Friday.
The app is extremely practical and offers a great mobile port of call to quickly get an overview. It will be used a lot.
Michael Struve
Corporate Planning, Panasonic, Germany
To allow sales teams to act as fast as possible on the weekly POS insights they receive, we have developed our GfK Performance Pulse app. Use your smartphone to monitor weekly sell-out activity, track your strongest competitor, measure price developments, maximize the impact of marketing campaigns, and evaluate launch performance and promotions on-the-go. Treat it as an early warning system to let your sales teams respond immediately and remain competitive.

CI lookup filter enhancement for Self Service 3.0Posted by Neena Ahirrao Guha in BMC Helix Remedyforce on Sep 5, 2018 3:08:00 AM
What is the CI lookup filter enhancement
Starting from the Summer 18 release, you can select which CIs and assets should be displayed to a client when the client submits a ticket in Self Service 3.0. You can use this feature to display only the relevant CIs and assets to clients.
For example, consider you have a set of shared devices like printers or projectors that should be shown to all the clients. You can link the shared devices to the account of the clients and configure the option to show the clients all CIs and assets of this account.
Purpose of this enhancement
You can define BMC Remedyforce lookup filters on out-of-the-box (OOTB) and custom lookup fields and use these lookup fields in different forms that are displayed in Remedyforce Console, Task Console, and Incident Console tabs. For each lookup filter, you can define multiple criteria and specify a filter logic using the AND or OR conditions.
In previous releases of Self Service 3.0, CI visibility could not be restricted based on the CIs linked to a client or linked to a client's account. Clients had to browse through the entire list of CIs, most of which were not relevant to them. This problem was acute for Managed Service Providers who serve multiple accounts where visibility of CIs had to be restricted to other accounts or clients.
In the default Configuration Item or Service lookup fields in the Self Service Incident form, a client could see the linked CIs. However, for a custom CI lookup on CMDB, it showed all CIs in the CMDB database in Self Service.
Even after using an option to apply lookup filter for Self Service, CI and assets visibility could not be restricted.
To restrict the CI and assets visibility, we have provided a setting that can be applied while defining a lookup filter. This setting provides more flexibility to administrators on what CIs and assets should be exposed or hidden.
The setting can be applied to both custom lookups and the OOTB lookups on the CMDB Base Element, Configuration Item, Service, Service Offering.
Administrators can use the setting to configure the visibility of CIs and assets as follows:
- Display CIs and assets that are linked to a client
- Display CIs and assets that are linked to a client's account
- Display CIs and assets that are linked to both client and client's account
- Display all CIs and assets
How to configure the setting
Administrators can configure the setting from Remedyforce Administration > Application Settings> Lookup Filters > Show records linked to. Note that the Show records linked to option is available only if while creating a lookup filter for Base Element on the Incident object the Apply In Self Service option is selected. This additional filter is applicable only for Self Service 3.0.
Select one of the following options to configure which CIs and assets are displayed to a client when the client submits a ticket in Self Service 3.0:
- Client: Displays those CIs and assets that are linked to a client.
- Client's Account: Displays those CIs and assets that are linked to a client's account. If the client does not have a linked account, CIs and assets that are linked to the client are displayed.
Note: If Client & Client's Account check-boxes are selected, CIs associated to Client as well as Client's account will be shown.
- All: Displays all CIs and assets. When you select this option, the Client and the Client's Account check boxes are automatically cleared and made unavailable. This option is the least restrictive of all other options, where restriction of the CIs and assets is not required.
The following image shows these options in the Lookup Filters tab.
- For the OOTB lookups, CIs associated with client are displayed.
- For custom lookups, all CIs from the Base Element object are displayed.
- Upgrade scenarios will continue to behave like the current implementation.
- The newly created OOTB lookups on Base element object displays CIs associated to a client. Custom lookups for the same displays all CIs if no lookup filter is created on them.
- While creating lookup filters, at least one filter criteria is mandatory. Administrators must create a filter that is applicable in Self Service and add at least one filter criteria (could be dummy criteria such as Class != <BLANK>) to show all CIs linked with a client's account.
- These filters will be applicable along with the current filter criteria. While creating new lookup filter for Base Element field, if Apply In Self Service is selected, then Client is the default option for the setting Show records linked to. However, administrator can change this to any other option as required. Rest of the lookup filter functionality will work as is.

Publisher details
At the very end of the Ladies' Frocks Departments, past Cocktail Frocks, there was something very special, something quite, quite wonderful; but it wasn't for everybody: that was the point. Because there, at the very end, there was a lovely arch, on which was written in curly letters Model Gowns.Written by a superb novelist of contemporary manners,The Women in Black is a fairytale which illuminates the extraordinariness of ordinary lives. The women in black are run off their feet, what with the Christmas rush and the summer sales that follow. But it's Sydney in the 1950s, and there's still just enough time left on a hot and frantic day to dream and scheme…By the time the last marked-down frock has been sold, most of the staff of the Ladies' Cocktail section at F. G. Goode's have been launched into slightly different careers. With the lightest touch and the most tender of comic instincts, Madeleine St John conjures a vanished summer of innocence. The Women in Black is a great novel, a lost Australian classic.

Southbank Residents Group
14 Dec 2014
We vote for councillors to manage the municipality, produce policy and make sensible planning decisions among many other tasks but, overall, to represent the interests of the community through those tasks.
At last month's Future Melbourne Committee meeting I witnessed something that made me question the values and integrity of some of our councillors and left me flabbergasted and angry.
As an agenda item for a planning application for the corner of Balston St and City Rd was about to commence, a number of councillors excused themselves from the agenda item and left the room citing conflicts of interest.
Apparently the developer had made donations to their party/ticket! What this meant is the agenda item could not be heard, as there was no quorum. Coincidentally, this planning application was in contravention of a number of planning considerations. So the planning application was sent to the Minister's office with no comment or direction from the Future Melbourne Committee for the minister's consideration.
While none of the councillors have broken any laws (from what I am aware), I question how any councillor could allow themselves to be compromised to such an extent that they are not able to execute their responsibilities (although this does raise questions regarding donation rules).
This is our community and we expect council to make decisions and representation on our behalf.
Shame on those councillors/tickets that allowed themselves to be in this predicament. This was probably a deliberate strategy of the developer to avoid a negative recommendation from the Future Melbourne Committee. I am disgusted!
On a happier note, the election is finally over.
I can hopefully get some normality back into my schedule (what is that?). I would like to extend our congratulations to Martin Foley for his successful retention of the Albert Park seat, but also to his party for their win.
Martin has been allocated the portfolios of Housing, Disability and Ageing, Mental Health and Creative Industries. Wow, what a workload! We are very fortunate our local member is the Minister for Creative Industries (aka arts) since the arts play a critical role across the Southbank landscape. I am looking forward to working closely with Martin on all the issues affecting Southbank.
I would like to thank all those who attended our AGM and offered their support and feedback. Obviously I was re-elected as president and our executive committee has remained unchanged.
Having said this, we still have vacancies for other office bearer roles so don't hold back and consider helping us out. Remember to like us on Facebook (SouthbankResidentsGroup).
Finally, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and safe New Year. May 2015 be an exciting, safe and prosperous year for all our community.
