Meeting one of the Biggest Challenges of Retiring Today: Creating a Lifetime Income Stream

0
0
Baby boomers are retiring without pensions, a perk of retirement from past generations not offered by most employers today. Financial Planners are working with their clients to help fill the gap with retirement income strategies that can provide a sustainable and reliable lifelong income stream.

BAYONNE, NJ – 23 Mar, 2016 – Baby boomers are streaming into retirement at a rate of 10,000 per day. Statistically, they are living longer than their parents and grandparents, and a large number of them are heading into their longevity-enhanced golden years with no pension and no real plan regarding a sustainable retirement income.

When Social Security was first enacted in 1935, retirees could count on receiving their social security payment beginning at the age of 65. At the time, the life expectancy at birth was 58 years for men and 62 for women, so Social Security was something many retirees never had a chance to collect. For generations, employer-funded pensions often filled in the income gap for older Americans after they stopped working, but company-sponsored pensions are dwindling. Instead, some employers offer 401(k)s, which may not be equipped to provide a reliable lifetime income source.

The challenge many financial planners today are faced with is helping clients with no pension achieve similar lifelong predictability in their retirement income strategies through the use of insurance products. Certain insurance products, like fixed indexed annuities, can help provide a sustainable and reliable income stream for the lifetime of the annuity purchaser, as well as their spouse’s lifetime, to help protect their retirement income from market volatility. Market investments, on the other hand, can be less expensive and, assuming the portfolio is properly constructed and based on typical market returns, may be able to provide lifetime income through a “total return” strategy. However, this strategy has no guarantees and, considering the current interest rate environment, the recommended withdrawal rate would be very low (2-3 percent), reducing the possibility of a person’s money lasting for the rest of their life.

In his recently released book, “The S.M.A.R.T. Approach, a 5 Step Process to Life, Leadership and Investing,” Financial Planner Vincent Virga, President of PFS Wealth Management Group in Bayonne, NJ, says pre-retirees in a time when employer-sponsored pension plans are diminishing, do have options for building their very own predictable, lifelong retirement income strategy, one that they can retain control over and even pass on to a spouse and beneficiaries after death.

Virga says that this strategy, built with insurance products like fixed indexed annuities, may even be more flexible and long lasting than an employer-funded pension.

“If structured properly, this strategy can help individuals create retirement income they cannot outlive through the use of insurance products,” he says. Insurers issue lifetime income guarantees based on their own financial strength and claims-paying ability.

“And if you predecease your spouse, you can feel confident that, if structured properly, the lifetime income will continue for the rest of the spouse’s life as well, so there are fewer worries about bills getting paid every single month.”

Virga says that it is all too common for people to find themselves in a situation where they “run out of rope” during retirement. With traditional pensions, once you have chosen your payment method, “you may be unable to make changes to your pension,” he says. That means if a life-changing event occurs that requires immediate funding or access, you may be unable to receive the remaining lump sum.

In addition, pensioners who take a payment option instead of a lump sum option who pass away at the same time as their spouse may not have the benefit of providing for the remainder of their pension to be passed on to beneficiaries. Instead, the pension may simply terminate with no contribution to one’s legacy.

By creating their own lifetime retirement income strategy, retirees and pre-retirees can take control of their financial future.

Advisors or brokers who recommend that a person’s sustainable retirement income comes from market correlated investments should be asked to provide their clients with a detailed explanation that helps them understand the “sequence of returns” on that income if there is a market downturn during the income distribution phase. Investors need to know exactly how a downturn in the stock market could impact their need for a reliable and sustainable income that is being derived from the stock market.

Most people understand investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. No investment strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against loss during periods of market declines. Fixed indexed annuities, as a part of a retirement income strategy, can help form the foundation that can provide a continuous income stream over which the individual maintains control.

Baby Carrier Wrap as a simple and useful helper during maternity leave

0

23 Mar, 2016 – Our brand has been placed on the market relatively recently, we started only a few months ago. Baby Carrier Wrap was not invented by us, of course.  We just tried to improve its features and quality as much as possible. And why we have done something like this? Because anyone who has children knows, how demanding are especially first months after the birth of the child and how welcome is every little thing, which can make a difference.

We wanted Baby Carrier Wrap long enough, so even a tall or robust person can use it without problems. We wanted Baby Carrier Wrap light and breathable enough to be highly comfortable as for mom, so for baby. We wanted Baby carrier Wrap strong enough, so it is never outstretched and baby is always safe. We wanted Baby Carrier Wrap so good, that when moms try it, then never put it off.

Motherhood is one of  the most important period of life, for both the mother and the baby. Mom learns to know her baby, the baby learns to explore the world, both of them develop and strengthen their relationship. It is therefore extremely important that this period passed without undue stress and tension caused by obligations and external influences.

Baby Carrier Wrap will support the mother´s effort and make the entry of the baby into this big new noisy world more pleasant. The baby will observe everything from safe mother´s arms, calmed down thanks immediate contact. And which mom would not want to be constantly close to her child? Thanks Baby Carrier Wrap she can. So, dear moms and tots, enjoy it!

Useful advices and tips for moms can be found on our website www.totwrap.com

Niche Digital Agencies on the Rise in Minneapolis

0
0

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – 23 Mar, 2016 – A small group of creative marketers meets at a table crafted from reclaimed wood in a conference room in a relatively hip agency office. One of them is talking about conversion rate optimization; another one about search engine optimization, and another one is getting a photo of a dog for the agency’s Snapchat.

The rise of the niche digital agency comes in stark contrast to the pen-to-paper marketing agency of just 10 years ago. This new type of web design and digital marketing agency is more and more often not even trying for print or branding work. Instead, they’re focusing on conversion rate improvements, analytics, data and digital ads. Paradigms are shifting. According to Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Council, “28% of marketers have reduced their advertising budget to fund more digital marketing.” And “71% of companies planned to increase their digital marketing budgets” in 2013 according to WebEquity. Through all of this, content marketing is leading the charge—“content marketing in 2015 generated three times as many leads as traditional outbound marketing, but it cost 62% less,” according to Hubspot. For startups or growing businesses looking to run a tight ROI ship, that stat alone should make you sit up.

The Twin Cities is a hub for small business activity. From the local farmers and bakers at your preferred farmer’s market to the upswing in craft breweries, small businesses play a crucial role in Minnesota’s economy and uniqueness. According to SBA.gov, Minnesota boasts nearly 500K small businesses. When it comes to getting their products or services out to the world, conventional advertising carries a price tag that is often out of reach—especially for one-man shows. Digital agencies specializing in niche markets can target localized audiences and grow your web presence. Through thoughtful content, keyword research and some website design, digital agencies are outfitted with the skills to shoot your small—or big—biz to the top of Google search results pages.

Putting words to website could be just the bump you need to convert more visitors to customers. Crafting interesting content could win you $20K in savings per year. According to Hubspot’s State of the Inbound Report, this type of inbound marketing is digital gold and there are more than a handful of Minneapolis marketing agencies who have perfected digging into this mine. Many big agencies try to tack digital services onto their services, but so many smaller agencies are eons ahead of the game in internet years—why wouldn’t you pair up with the small guys who have been perfecting their digital marketing game since Google was born?

So why are companies either migrating away from bigger agencies or demanding more innovation and better reporting from the big agencies? Simple: They want to make their marketing spend count. For many companies, attributing success to wisely worded pay-per-click ad on Google is simply a lot easier to track than whether or not someone is making purchasing decisions after being exposed to a billboard, bus banner, brochure or TV ad. PPC also comes chock-full of flexibility. Its nimble nature allows paid ad experts to change what isn’t working—and bolster what is working—in a matter of hours. This type of dexterity just isn’t found with more static or time-consuming marketing tactics.

Larger agencies would be wise to take a hint from smaller digital firms like Snap Agency (https://snapagency.com) in Minneapolis that homes in on all things digital. Smaller digital agencies have been flexing their marketing muscles more and more. When asked why companies seeking a bigger web presence turn to digital agencies, paid ad expert Brett Middleton told me, “There’s almost no reason why a company that fully understands what’s on the table here—which is a very clear return on investment—isn’t going to shift more of their ad spend over to PPC, ads and promoted posts on social media, along with measurable improvements on their website.”

Plus, the technology to see whether investments pay off is now here through conversion tracking on tools like Google Analytics, so there’s really no going back to the days when a marketer could just ask a client to relax and trust them. Instead the tables have turned so small marketing agencies are

Medical School Application Tracker by Learn From Apps – An Easy Way to Organize & Track Med-School Application

0
0
Rohit Gosain, M.D. and Rahul Gosain, M.D., co-founders of Learn From Apps, have announced the release of their new Medical School Application Tracker app for future doctors.

Baltimore, MD – March 24, 2016 – The new Medical School tracking app is specially designed for students who are pursuing career in medicine and are applying for medical schools. Medical School Application Tracker provides individuals with a multi-faceted platform to track offers and map schools to which they want to apply.

“Our new app is a resource with a comprehensive tracking method for medical students to help keep their applications organized,” stated Dr. Rahul Gosain during our conversation.

Medical School Application Tracker allows students to access the program list to which they’ve applied, track which one has sent them an interview request, and set their interview schedule dates. It also provides assistance by creating and organizing a database of related information. The new app provides users with the school name, address and Dean’s name, along with the available degree that is offered to assist students in selecting the best medical institution for their specific needs.

“One of the best feature of the app is, the ability for the future physicians to access information such as number of applicants a school is accepting, average GPA and MCAT scores of a particular school. They also have the ability to know in-state and out-of-state tuition for each institution,” said Dr. Rohit Gosain.

Statistics indicate that on an average, medical student will typically apply to 17 schools. Applying to medical schools can be a cumbersome process and monitoring the sheer volume of related data can be overwhelming. Asimple spreadsheet program is notsufficient for the wide variety of information today’s students need to compile and monitor. Medical School Application Tracker eliminates that problem by providing individuals with a comprehensive platform for tracking and scheduling interviews, and maintaining essential school related data.

The recent launch of Medical School Application Tracker app by Learn From Apps provides an easy and convenient means for medical school students to organize interviews with medical schools from anywhere in the world. The app is equally applicable for international students who want to broaden their horizons in overseas schools located in United States of America, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Renowned Herbalist Dr. Merry Li Says Chinese Medicine Is Ideal for Rosacea Treatment

24 Mar, 2016 – Rosacea may transform from a chronic skin condition to a leading factor contributing increased risk for Parkinson’s Disease. Swelling of the skin on the face, redness characterized by remissions of red marks occurring on the nose, chin or on the forehead, usually affecting individuals of light skin color type. Out of four types, three affect skin and one affects eyes.

Medication and topical irritants, extreme changes within the climate, excessive caffeine, alcohol and even foods high on spice and histamines are also known to cause bursts associated with dilation of minute blood vessels on the face, red capped papules and pustules, red eyes, burning and stinging sensation, and in rare advanced cases, a red bumpy nose, may develop. Yet, the exact cause remains elusive till date.

It may be diagnosed accordingly denoted by causes as Cathelicidins, Demodex mites or Intestinal bacteria. In a new study published in JAMA Neurology on March 21, Alexander Egeberg from the University of Copenhagen shed light on the risk of Parkinson’s disease in those suffering from rosacea. The study concluded with the observation that the incidence rate was greater than the rate of total population suffering from Parkinson’s with further research being carried out to determine a causal relationship.

“Rosacea is thought to begin in late twenties disturbing the harmony and balance of your body’s system. Excessive accumulation of heat within the lungs, liver and the stomach relieved with Traditional Chinese Medicine produces results resolving the symptoms of the facial epidermal layers. Toxins form due to a direct result of disturbance with the body’s heating systems that require detox,” said Dr. Merry Li.

Ancient Chinese Medicine combines native herbs aimed at a synergistic effect in one formula designed to circumvent unpleasant side effects and work effectively by a herbal method with the use of the Acneed Capsule designed by Dr. Li to treat all types of rosacea; containing 14 different natural herbs that reduce skin inflammation, provides hormonal balance preventing future breakouts and improves blood circulation nourishing damaged skin. The capsule compounded with Rosacea Cream is a botanical method to moisturize the skin.

Morgan Field Tops Best Seller List with Life Changing Book “Epic Sexy You”

New self-help book for women “Epic Sexy You” takes number one spot from Eckhart Tolle.

Morgan Field’s “Epic Sexy You – No Limits. No Rules.” recently topped the Amazon Best-sellers list. The book hit number one in the personal transformation & spirituality category, taking the spot from Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth”. The book ranked among best selling power hitters – “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert, “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrnes, “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle, “Heal Your Body” by Louise, Hay “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer, “You are a Badass” by Jen Sincero, and “Awaken the Giant Within” by Tony Robbins.

“Epic Sexy You” has made a splash in the self-help market worldwide and has shipped to fourteen countries and counting. The book author, Morgan Field is an award-winning Life Coach dedicated to helping people learn to “Thrive” in their lives.  Her new book is just one way she reaches out to do just that.

The book focuses on checks and balances in how we prioritize our lives. The concept of creating a healthy balance of giving and getting is what keeps people happy according to Morgan.

Morgan explains, “There is an opportunity as individuals and as a society to redefine what it means to be selfish. I talk about this concept in the book. Right now, we feel like it is selfish to put ourselves first, so we walk through our days giving, giving, giving, and then when we have nothing left to give, we give some more. We take care of our loved ones in a way that sacrifices our own happiness, needs, desires, and fulfillment, and we think this is love. We think that to be any other way is selfish.” 

She went on to say, “But this way leave us depleted, exhausted, tired, burned out, and often on edge, resenting the very individuals that we love. And no, we don’t take out our unhappiness with our co-workers, at least we try our best to be polite and be kind and loving to those around us at work so we can make the money we need to survive and provide, and then we save our emotional outbursts for our loved ones at home. And then our children learn that that is normal. They grow up and they repeat the cycle.  Based on that pattern of recycled inheritance, it would actually seem rather selfish to not put yourself first.” The concepts shared in the book help to give clarity to the decision process and tolerances within the relationships of its readers.

Her book has made a positive impact in the lives of many who have read it. “Morgan will have you laughing, soul-searching and stretching to think beyond yourself-imposed limits. Her bold, fresh thinking and personal experiences give women who have the “Superwoman personality” the tools to truly have it all,” said, Denise Stillman, MBA, Author, Courageous Clarity: Four Keys to Unlock the Leader Inside.

Shawna Burkhart, Executive Life Coach Said, “Hell YES!! This book is NOT your typical self-help cheerleader crap. Morgan is massively positive but she’s also the real deal. She shares her heart and journey in ways that stopped me in my tracks. I will never look at my own indecisiveness and tolerance of bad behavior in the same way again. Officially on the “must-read” list for all my clients!”

The book is available in both physical and digital formats online. Morgan is an award-winning Intuitive Life Coach, Author, Blogger, and Speaker.

The Best Provider of Dry Cleaning Services in Danville, Ca.

4 time winner – Best of Diablo by Diablo Magazine. Exclusively selected to represent the San Francisco’s East Bay as a member of America’s Best Drycleaners. America’s Best Cleaners™ is an independent certification organization for the dry cleaning industry; an organization dedicated to the continued excellence of the dry-cleaning industry.

In Danville, California – no one understands the dry cleaning needs of its residents better than the award-winning Country Club Cleaners with more than 3 decades of experience providing residents and even commercial establishments with the kind of dry cleaning services that can only be described as superbly fast and thoroughly clean. When it comes to dry cleaning in Danville, Ca. there is only one name that everyone can trust – Country Club Cleaners.

There are instances when no amount of vigorous and extensive machine washing will ever get rid of stubborn dirt and stains off your precious clothes and other fabric items. This is especially true when it comes to fabric items that are in constant exposure to the elements where minute particles harden making them quite a challenge to remove. And while some providers of dry cleaning in Danville will instantly refuse to accept such difficult-to-clean items, Country Club Cleaners will never say no. The dry cleaning company recognizes the need of Danville’s residents for a truly clean fabric material be it their everyday clothing apparel  to boat covers, seat cushions, patio covers, and other fabric items. They know that residents and business establishments deserve to have their items thoroughly cleaned.

Country Club Cleaners remains true to its commitment of fast and efficient dry cleaning services to Danville and its neighboring areas. The company guarantees absolutely free pickup and delivery of items. While some providers of dry cleaning in Danville provide pick-up and delivery services as well, they either charge a separate cost for it or they already compete for the pick-up and delivery charges to be part and parcel of the cost of dry cleaning. Either way, this is a far cry from Country Club Cleaners’ guaranteed free pick-up and delivery services making them the most sought-after dry cleaning service providers in this part of California.

It is perhaps this commitment to fast and affordable dry cleaning services that Country Club Cleaners has managed to bag Diablo Magazine’s Best of the East Bay award for a record four times. Consistently voted as one of America’s Best Cleaners, Country Club Cleaners has remained faithful to its vision of providing excellent dry cleaning services as well as in the restoration of fire- and smoke- damaged fabric articles making them truly cherished members of the community.

When it comes to the search for the best provider of dry cleaning in Danville, there is only one name to remember – Country Club Cleaners.

LOS ANGELES, March 24, 2016 — Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® announces an exclusive interview with DAC Group, a company that is helping national advertisers localize their digital marketing efforts and deliver results.

Norm Hagarty, CEO of DAC Group commented on the challenges concerning digital performance strategy and measurement, “DAC Group is unique.

We’re getting that in front of their customers at the right time in their purchase journey.”

He then talked about innovating to drive performance, “We do it in a number of ways. It starts with our people. We train them so they can answer client questions. We hire the right kind of people who have analytical minds. And finally, we invest in technology solutions that fill gaps in reach and conversion optimization.”

Vice President of Programming of Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, JL Haber, was quoted stating, “Figuring out how to communicate with customers both nationally and locally can be difficult. DAC Group has simplified that entire process for many companies.”

Worldwide Business with kathy Ireland® shares how Numotion provides mobility, independence and freedom to people with disabilities

Tune into Fox Business Network as sponsored programming on Saturday, March 26, 2016. See market-by-market listings below

(Los Angeles, CA, March 24, 2016)Numotion, the leading provider of Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) for people with disabilities, will be featured on Worldwide Business with kathy Ireland®.  During the exclusive story, Kathy Ireland interviewed CEO Mike Swinford.

Mr. Swinford commented on the major challenges associated with Complex Rehab Technology. He said, “The biggest challenge is access. Today there are roughly one million people in the United States who have a need for complex wheelchairs. That number is about 20 million globally. Typical diagnoses requiring CRT include cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. Complex Rehab Technology in developing countries is virtually nonexistent. In the developed world, the issue is access. A lot of people view a wheelchair as a wheelchair and the way we individually configure and customize this medically necessary technology for people’s independence and mobility is not always reimbursed at the levels that allow access for everyone in the U.S.”

He continued by speaking about what Numotion is doing to address these challenges. “We have a strong national footprint with local focus in 120+ locations and 2,500 professionals across the country. We have over 1,000 technical experts, more than 1,000 insurance claim management professionals, and over 2,000 health plans under contract so we can provide the best and most medically appropriate CRT products and services to our customers. We also partner with rehabilitation hospitals to produce analytics that show how CRT lowers long-term health care costs. From an advocacy standpoint, we work with legislators and regulatory agencies like CMS to protect CRT access, along with donating millions of dollars and in-kind services to charities such as MDA and ALSA.”

The Vice President of Programming of Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, JL Haber added, “Numotion is doing something great for people with disabilities. They provide ways for people to get the Complex Rehab Technology they need to improve their quality of life. This is a great company doing great things.”

Company offers discounted pre-orders for the device on their IndieGoGo campaign

SAN JOSE, California – March 25, 2016 – It’s time to put an end to unsafe, drowsy driving with the Drive Guardian. This is the first Driver Drowsy Safety Alert System that intelligently monitors the driver’s eyes using sophisticated algorithms. Any time the device detects sleepiness or a distraction in the motorist, it alerts the individual to wake up and keep their eyes on the road. The Drive Guardian debuted at CES 2016 in Las Vegas. Now this easy-to-install technology is ready for mass production. The creator launched an IndieGoGo campaign to offer discounted pre-orders. 

After a long day of work and another sleepless night, driving home can be tiresome and sometimes a challenging feat. This is a feeling many people understand. 37% of driver’s report falling asleep behind the wheel at some point in their lives. Drowsy and distracted driving is one of the leading causes of vehicle crashes involving fatalities and bodily injuries, and this number continues to grow every year. The Drive Guardian hopes to put an end to unsafe driving so that people can come home safely to their family and loved ones. 

The Drive Guardian immediately monitors the driver’s eyes and pupils the moment the engine starts. Depending on the type of behavior the driver exhibits – heavy/prolonged fluttering eyes due to sleepiness, looking away from the road due to distractions, the Drive Guardian will sound a variation of alerts. Having the Drive Guardian is just like having a protective companion in the car. 

This device is perfect for anyone who drives a car especially fleet managers and independent truck operators. Click here to make order one today. Backers of the campaign can choose from a number of attractive rewards. Perks and orders will be delivered by July 2016. 

Please keep in mind this is an “all-or-nothing” deal. If the campaign does not reach the funding goal, then the project cannot move forward. So know that any amount given can make a difference.

Physical Therapy Provides an Alternative to the Rising Use of Opioids

0
0

Portland, OR – 25 Mar, 2016 – As you may have seen during the Superbowl, Opioid use is spiraling out of control in the United States, and those suffering from pain conditions need an alternative. Some are heralding physical therapy as a safe and effective alternative to treating pain, without the threat of addiction.

To spread the message that conservative, non-drug approaches can effectively manage pain, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) has joined others in the federal, state, local and private sectors to address the prescription drug abuse and heroin epidemic. They collectively advocate that a multidisciplinary clinical approach—including physical therapists serving on the care team alongside physicians and other healthcare providers—can improve quality of life for patients with acute and chronic pain.

Stride Strong Physical Therapy’s Doctors of Physical Therapy offer one-on-one support for patients who are suffering from acute and chronic pain by developing individualized and personalized programs for patients. With an emphasis on exercise therapy and a commitment to building healthier physical habits for our patients, we aim to reduce dependency on painkillers and opioids by arming them with self-management exercises and techniques to modulate their pain and reduce disability.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, physicians wrote 259 million opioid prescriptions in 2012, which translates to one bottle of pills per American adult. The American Academy of Pain Medicine reports that pain disorders are on the rise, affecting more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. The commonly prescribed opioids OxyContin and Vicodin act quickly to get pain under control, but these drugs can also be harmful and addictive when abused.

An individualized physical therapy plan aims to reduce a patient’s pain and associated disability, improve function, and promote health and well-being. A physical therapist performs a comprehensive evaluation, after which they address chronic pain with a combination of movement exercises, manual therapy, and education about pain science, body alignment and movement. Physical therapists help patients understand the underlying cause of pain.

Stride Strong Physical Therapy is committed to improving communication between healthcare practitioners and their patients through an emphasis on patient education. We believe that arming patients with the best knowledge about their condition and the common pitfalls they may encounter on their quest for pain modulation would promote the healthiest and safest route to recovery.

Addiction to opioids is not a new phenomenon, but it has escalated to new proportions. The number of Americans dying each year from drug overdoses has surpassed that of motor vehicle crashes. More than half of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain continue to take the painkillers five years later, according to a 2011 study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. In fact, a staggering four in five new heroin users started out misusing prescription painkillers, according to a National Center for Health Statistics Data Brief. A key initiative of the APTA and 40 provider groups over the next two years is a collective messaging campaign to reach more than 4 million healthcare providers regarding opioid abuse and appropriate prescribing practices.

About Stride Strong Physical Therapy

Stride Strong Physical Therapy has one mission in mind: To Give Patients What They Deserve. Founded in 2012 by a physical therapist, Dr. Alice Holland DPT and her husband, Scott Holland, their goal is not to keep patients in the healthcare loop of never-ending doctor visits, but to promote exercise, patient education and healthy habits to serve as a first-response to injury. Furthermore, Stride Strong’s physical therapists encourage the adoption of preventative care so surgery and medication dependency can be reduced in the community.
