What Is Buzz Marketing? | Buzz Marketing Strategies & Examples
"Did you hear about Bitcoin? It's an insane investment! I invested $100 and earned more than $1000. Can you believe that?"
Welcome to the era where every marketer aims at creating a buzz around his product.
An average human witnesses around 5000 marketing messages every day out of which very few marketers get to monetize his attention. Buzz marketing helps you to bombard the user with 100x (or 1000x) more marketing messages than you usually would have. All thanks to his friends, family members, friends of friends, social media, blogs, news channels, and influencers, etc.
Don't believe me? Take a look at this bitcoin price chart.
When did you hear about the Bitcoin first? Was it in the second half of 2017?

What Is Buzz Marketing?
Buzz marketing refers to marketing strategies used to capture the attention of the customers and other influencers to amplify the marketing message to an extent where talking about the brand, product, or service becomes entertaining, fascinating, and newsworthy.
Buzz marketing is a subset of viral marketing and word of mouth marketing. But to understand it to the fullest, it is very important to understand the meaning of the word buzz. A buzz is a trigger which results in the word of mouth marketing. It can be an idea, a phrase, a tagline, the logo, a mascot, an advertisement, or any other trigger which makes people talk about the brand or its product.
Buzz starts conversations. It is the great/different/weird idea or a story which others are willing to share.
How Buzz Marketing Works?
A buzz can be created by a wink by a female actor, an outspoken leader, a great tagline, or an ambush marketing strategy like this:
Buzz marketing is different from the traditional marketing communication. It involves creating a trigger which spread out to the masses as it leads to:
Word Of Mouth Marketing
Word of mouth marketing starts with buzz marketing. It involves planning a buzz so well that motivated, satisfied, or impressed people belonging to your target market start spreading your message voluntarily.
Fear Of Missing Out
No one wants to feel 'left out' in this digital era triggered by the social media. Not having a vital information or having a feeling that one is not a part of the 'in' group releases enough psychological stress that acts as a threat to them. This makes the buzz easier to convert into word of mouth marketing as it has more conversational value. Plus, the social media acts as a catalyst.
Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon
Baadeer-Meinhof Phenomenon is a situation where one stumbles upon an unfamiliar word, name, or buzz, and soon afterwards encounters the same subject again, often repeatedly.
It's the phenomenon which makes you say "I recently heard about it and now it's everywhere".
Buzz marketing sends you the same message through different channels which makes you experience this phenomenon quite often and the message sticks to your mind.
The meme marketing strategy is based entirely on this phenomenon.
How To Create A Buzz?
Is buzz marketing important? Well, when 83% of consumers trust recommendations from their peers over advertising, how unimportant could it be?
Focus More On People And Less On Product
Even though your brand or the product are in the spotlight, people have a greater role in creating a buzz around it. The only way you can succeed in creating a buzz is to focus all of your marketing communication strategies on your target market's needs, wants, interests, hobbies, etc.
Use Influencer Marketing
It's a proven fact that people trust influencers more than any advertisement. Using influencers to your benefit can help you get the attention of their followers in a positive way.
Use Scarcity Principle
Scarcity principle is brand induced scarcity to create a mismatch between the demand and supply of the product. The phenomenon is at a rise with the increased popularity of flash sales on ecommerce websites as it not only increases the demand but also creates a buzz around the product.
Scarcity techniques like flash sales, limited period offers, use it or lose it offers, for limited users offers, etc. can help you create a buzz around your product and increase its demand.
Capitalize On The Network Effect
The network effect refers to a situation where a product or a service becomes more valuable when more people use it. Creating a buzz around a product which capitalizes on the network effect is easier as network effect itself is a type of buzz.
For example – the more people use whatsapp messenger, the more valuable it becomes to the users and easier it is for the company to attract more customers.
Other Buzz Marketing Strategies
A brand can use many other buzz strategies or buzz buttons to create a buzz around itself or its products and services. These buzz buttons are:
- Guerrilla marketing (using creative, imaginative yet unconventional marketing tactics to get maximum reach and better results without involving heavy costs and resources)
- Suspense (creating a suspense around its product)
- Taboo (Breaking taboos)
- Humour (Using humour which can be used by customers in their conversations)
- Secrets (spreading out rumours or secrets)
- Unexpected (A soft-drink brand making an advertisement on obesity due to soft drinks)
- Extraordinary customer engagement, etc.
Buzz Marketing Examples
The 2017 oscars created a lot of buzz when 'La La Land' was accidently announced as the best movie instead of 'Moonlight'. Why? Because it was unexpected in such a reputable award function. There are many other examples where the brand created a buzz.
The Honest Coca-Cola Obesity Commercial
Coca cola was in the news, on social media, and in the title of many blog posts when it released the honest coca-cola obesity commercial where it accepted the fact that coca-cola causes obesity.
Tiger Woods Jesus Shot
EA games launched the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 game with an intriguing yet entertaining shot called the Jesus shot where Tiger Woods would go into the water to play the shot. Later it was revealed that this feature was intentionally added to create a buzz around this game.
Mini Cooper Boxes In Amsterdam
Mini Cooper, to promote its 99€ a month finance deal during Christmas, executed a guerrilla campaign where it featured packing boxes in prominent locations around Amsterdam. This created a lot of buzz around the car in 2009.

Add methods to tables through extension
Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations is now being licensed as Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. For more information about these licensing changes, see Dynamics 365 Licensing Update.
When you extend the business logic that is related to a table, the general coding principles that help keep your code clean still apply. Therefore, you must eventually encapsulate actions in separate methods on the table. In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, you completed that task by adding the method directly on the table through overlayering. To complete the same task through extension, you use a different approach. Specifically, you create an augmentation class.
For example, a new field that is named MyInventLocationId was added to the InventTable table through extension. A data event handler was also created for the Inserting event, and you must implement the logic of filling the new field there. To encapsulate that action, you will create a new method on InventTable and name that method myDefaultInventLocationId.
You first create a new class in the extension model. This class will augment the InventTable table, and enable access to the table's fields and methods in a manner that is easy to read and understand. It's important that you choose the correct name for your augmentation class. This name must be unique across all types in all models that are deployed. For more information, see Naming guidelines for extensions.
final class InventTableMy_Extension
public void myDefaultInventLocationId()
// This would have partner specific logic to initialize the new field.
this.MyInventLocationId = this.inventLocationId();
You can now add new methods to the augmentation class. These methods will then appear in IntelliSense for variables of the InventTable type, just as if they were defined directly on the table. This behavior applies to both static methods and instance methods.
There are a few rules for augmentation classes:
- They must be final.
- They must be suffixed by _Extension.
- They must be decorated with the [ExtensionOf()] attribute.
Now you can use your new method, for example, from an event handler:
class InventTableMy_EventHandler
[DataEventHandler(tableStr(InventTable), DataEventType::Inserting)]
public static void InventTable_onInserting(Common sender, DataEventArgs e)
InventTable inventTable = sender as InventTable;
// Call the method as if it was defined directly on InventTable.
It is common for event handler classes to contain handlers for any number of events. However, it is not good practice to put event handlers in augmentation classes. Doing so makes the event handler methods available as methods on the augmented type. This is incorrect because the event handler is intended to be called through the event, not explicitly as a method on the type.

The Reason Why Governor Ortom was Served Impeachment notice has been revealed
8 APC members in the Benue state House of Assembly this morning served a notice of impeachment to Governor Samuel Ortom.
Spokesperson of the eight lawmakers told journalists that the House has commenced impeachment proceedings against Governor Samuel Ortom on the allegations of diversion of state funds and abuse of office. The spokesperson added that 15 lawmakers have been suspended for six months.

This development comes after Governor Ortom anounced his defection from APC to PDP in the past week.

We can help. You can overcome drug addiction and have a better life than you ever thought possible!
There are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs possibilities open to the people living in the Pierpont area. It is very important understand all the varieties of rehab possibilities that exist in Pierpont, AB., to be able to find the suitable rehabilitation option for yourself or a family member. Choosing the right drug and alcohol rehab program in Pierpont is a vital element in the process of treating of drug abuse, addiction and alcoholism. This information will assist you to recognize your numerous rehab options allowing an individual to have the highest potential for a successful final result.
Let's take a look at the various alcohol and drug treatment programs in Pierpont, South Dakota options that coincide with the condition of the individual seeking rehab.
Inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Pierpont, AB. is often a treatment possibility ideal for those who require health-related treatment during treatment or clients with substantial substance abuse histories. Women and men will experience mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a short period of time, so inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Pierpont is among the most effective treatment possibility in virtually all scenarios. As a result of dependence and addiction, women and men will frequently struggle to make a full recovery using the limited solutions provided by outpatient rehab facilities in Pierpont, South Dakota where alcohol and drugs remain easily obtainable when they leave the outpatient center. Likewise, people in rehab who receive outpatient rehabilitation as an alternative to inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Pierpont are still susceptible to detrimental relationships and conditions that might compromise their process of recovery. If an individual resides with an abusive partner or continues to maintain associations which entail abusing drugs, any rehab endeavours in outpatient rehab are done in vain. This is why in-patient drug treatment in Pierpont, AB. is going to generate more beneficial outcomes that may prove long lasting in contrast to an outpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation program where benefits could be very limited and short-lived.
In Pierpont there is both short-term and long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehab. Short-term is often a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Pierpont, South Dakota is more extensive and treatment can last 90-120 days on average. This is an excellent environment for clients as it is a secure drug-free setting where they're able to recover both physically and mentally without distraction. Ideally, women and men will continue within a long-term in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in Pierpont for the maximum period of time permitted, so that they can deal with anything which might cut across their sobriety once they leave rehab. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can take 2-3 weeks by itself, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehab in Pierpont is going to be time wisely spent and a lot more effective than short-term programs.
The most crucial factor of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a substance abuse or addiction concern is to do something about it, make calls and seek the advice of trained addiction professionals and have an evaluation and rehab possibilities to ensure the best opportunity for a recovery.

Demorest, Ga. -- The 19th-ranked University of Lynchburg women's soccer team won a close 1-0 match against the Piedmont Lions Sunday afternoon at PC's Walker Athletic Complex.
After a Piedmont foul in the first half, sophomore Amanda Wigboldy was set up for a penalty kick and scored in the seventh minute to put the Hornets up 1-0. It was Wigboldy's second PK goal in as many days as she sent Saturday's game against Emory U. into overtime with a PK goal in the 90th minute.
Senior goalkeeper Caitlin Dorsch made five saves on all five of the Lions shots on goal for her first-career shutout.
Lynchburg totaled 17 shots with seven of them on frame, while Piedmont was able to get off a total of six shots on the day.
The Lynchburg women's soccer team will be back in action on Wednesday, Sept. 25 as they take on the Captains of Christopher Newport in Newport News.

You might think that finding a dream job is pie in the sky, especially in the current economy…. But let me ask you this,
* Do you know what a dream job is?
Does the term Dream Job translate to something out of reach and unattainable to you? Why? Have you ever sat down and really defined Dream Job in your own terms?
In my book, "How to Find Your Dream Job, Even in a Recession", I outline a formula which I call the Euclidean Career Square. This career square is a practical outline that is designed to take the mystery out of The Dream Job. Using the analogy of a square here is my formula:
Euclidean Career Square – Dream Job Formula
1. At the top of the square is the People side. Often, you spend more time working then you spend with family. Consequently, it is important that you not only like but love the people with whom you work.
2. The bottom side represents Money; You MUST make enough money to sustain yourself, or you will eventually leave, even if you love the people.
3. The right side represents Growth; one of the six basic human needs. If there is no opportunity for healthy growth, the roots of a plant will become tangled and kill the plant.
4. The left side represents Work/Life Balance; If you love the people, money and have growth but no balance, you WILL experience discomfort in some part of your life, i.e. health, relationship, happiness, etc.
Dream jobs are achievable. The problem is most people spend more time thinking about what they hate about their jobs, versus, what they love. If you use the Dream Job Formula as a basis for establishing what you want, you'll not only know what your Dream Job is, you will find it!

exploring beaches in Crete….
Tuesday, September 4: This morning, I head out at 8:20 a.m. into the old town to search for breakfast. I'm surprised to find the whole town is practically shut down, except the dependable Cafe Galero. I order a Continental breakfast: a boiled egg, orange juice, coffee, toast and marmalade, and coffee; after, I check my emails at the internet cafe upstairs. I head straightaway for my car near the Fort, and drive the southern route to Plakias.
I drive a curvaceous & hilly route south to Plakias, a quiet resort on the south coast of Crete. The beach is set between two huge wind tunnels, the gorges of Selia and Kourtaliotis. I drive through the Selia gorge and experience the wind tunnel effect; I feel like I'll be blown over the edge of the road into the depths of the canyon. I pass by a beautiful white church and…

We are so very lucky in Lowestoft to have such a superb, award winning Blue Flag beach right on our doorstep. And when the sun appeared during the school holidays last week there was no better place to be!
Armed with buckets, spades and a modest picnic we made our way down to the golden sands beside Claremont Pier and spent a wonderful day enjoying the simple things in life.... the children building sand castles that wouldn't look out of place on 'Grand Designs' and me... doing a spot of people watching and soaking up the rays... ah bliss.
The great thing is, it doesn't cost a thing, except perhaps for the odd ice-cream or two!
So what's the downside? ...Well okay, so the sea wasn't VERY warm (eek!) but I soon thawed out when the kids decided to bury me in the sand!!! A small price to pay.
We finally left, tired but extremely happy, having spent a fantastic family day at the seaside..... It just goes to show that the BEST things in life really are free!

Governor, legislators praised on abuse reporting legislation
Published on December 10th, 2018
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has signed a bill that requires non-public school administrators to report suspected cases of child abuse to law enforcement. The New York State Catholic Conference, which supported the bill, praised the governor and lawmakers for the new legislation. It followed a series of high-profile scandals involving cover-ups at exclusive independent private schools in various parts of the state.
The bill, sponsored by State Sen. Patrick Gallivan (R-Elma) and Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan (D-Long Island City), passed unanimously in both houses of the state legislature in the 2018 legislative session, and was delivered to the governor on Nov. 26. It expands an existing law requiring public school superintendents to report abuse. Cuomo signed the bill Dec. 7.
"This legislation is a no-brainer and a critical tool in protecting children. We are grateful to the sponsors and the governor that reporting of such abuse will now be mandated by law," said Dennis Poust, director of communications for the Catholic Conference, which represents the New York State Bishops in public policy matters.
Poust noted that while Catholic schools, like all Church entities, already report all child abuse cases to law enforcement, the scandals in secular private schools across the state in recent years "have demonstrated why there never should have been such an exemption in law in the first place."
Catholic schools, which are covered by the new law, already are required by the U.S. Bishops' 2002 Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People to report allegations of abuse to law enforcement. The legislation was supported by the NYS Council of Catholic School Superintendents.
In addition to adding non-public school administrators, the new law also extends the reporting mandate to New York City public schools, which previously had been exempted from the law, as well as charter schools, special schools for children with disabilities (called 853 Programs), and others.
It also requires teachers, administrators and school bus drivers in non-public schools to complete two hours of coursework or training regarding the identification and reporting of child abuse and maltreatment.
"The Bishops of New York State hope that the tragic abuse crisis in the Church's recent past can serve as a cautionary tale for all organizations that deal with children, including public and private schools," Poust said. "And we further hope that the reforms we've implemented since 2002 can likewise serve as a model for best practices in how to protect children from abuse. We think this newly signed law is a step in that direction."

U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady arrested in South Dakota for DUI
While he stopped short of admitting guilt, Brady said he would accept "every consequence" of his actions, even if that meant a jail sentence.
"To me, regardless of how this turns out, what it says is that you don't get behind the wheel," he said. "I take full responsibility for my actions."
Clay County State's Attorney Tami Bern indicated it was unlikely the fifth-term representative would spend any time in jail. DUI is a Class One misdemeanor in South Dakota, punishable by a maximum jail term of one year and a $1,000 fine. But she said the standard sentence in similar situations is a fine of $350 (court costs are an additional $53) and having your South Dakota driving privileges revoked for 30 days.
"We ask that everyone get the same situation," Bern said. "The standard sentence does not deviate."
Brady, who holds the leadership post of majority deputy whip in the 109th Congress, was in Vermillion, S.D., to receive an Alumni Achievement Award from the University of South Dakota, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. After the awards dinner Friday, Brady was pulled over by a state trooper for a problem with the taillights on his vehicle, according to South Dakota Highway Patrol Col. Dan Mosteller.
"He (Brady) was stopped for an equipment violation," Mosteller said. "There was no evidence of erratic behavior (by the driver) of the vehicle."
Brady confirmed he was given a field sobriety test and submitted to a Breathalyzer test administered by Trooper Brent Mohrmann. According to the trooper's arrest report, he commenced his investigation after smelling alcohol on Brady.
"Based on the observations at the time following the tests, he (Mohrmann) formed an opinion and arrested him," said Mosteller, who said the arrest was made at 11:44 p.m. Friday.
Once arraigned at the Clay County Sheriff's Office, Brady was asked to submit to a blood alcohol content test. He refused, according to Mosteller. Bern said a portable breath test is not considered scientifically reliable enough to be used as evidence in court. A driver is presumed automatically under the influence if the blood alcohol content is 0.08 or greater, she said.
"That's why we ask for a blood test," Bern said.
South Dakota law requires drivers charged with a third DUI to submit to a blood alcohol test.
Brady's attorney in South Dakota is Lee McCahren, who did not return phone calls Tuesday. Bern said McCahren has not given any indication whether he intends to plead out the charge or contest it in court. Brady's case has been scheduled in court for Nov. 8 at 9:30 a.m., she said.
During a brief telephone interview, Brady said he had been drinking after the awards dinner with some friends at "one of the old college hangouts." He was on his way back to the hotel with his wife, mother, a sister and her husband in the car when he was stopped.
Because it was homecoming weekend at the university, law enforcement officers were on the lookout for drunk drivers, according to Clay County Sheriff Andy Howe. Brady said he was "glad" that the officers were doing their job.
"That night, I never imagined I was anywhere even close to the legal limit," he said. "But the fact is, getting behind the wheel, even if you think you're fine is never a wise decision. I have to hold myself to a higher standard. Law enforcement ought to be doing the sobriety tests to discourage people from driving."
Brady declined to comment on what impact his arrest could have on his political future. A member of the Ways and Means Committee, Brady also serves on the Joint Economic Committee and House Policy Committee, as well as the Social Security and the Trade subcommittees.
Most recently the point man in the White House's passage of the Central American Free Trade Agreement, Brady will be up for re-election in November 2006.
Reaction to Brady's arrest was typically along bipartisan lines. Texas Democratic Party Chairman Charles Soechting said it was "deeply troubling" to see Brady do something as "reckless and irresponsible as driving drunk" at a time when "the people of this country have lost so much respect for elected officials."
Although Soechting did not comment on whether this would help Democrats uproot Brady out of the 8th Congressional District, a party official said Brady's arrest "isn't about elections, but about character of our leadership. People have to decide that for themselves."
Texas Republican Party Chairwoman Tina J. Benkiser said Brady enjoys the support of his district and "will no doubt draw upon that support this time." She said it was "too early to know anything" regarding how the incident would affect Brady's career.
While no one from the U.S. House Ethics Committee would comment on Brady's arrest, a person familiar with the process said incidents of this nature are usually handled by the voters and not by the committee.
Closer to home, Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Mike Valdez, who is running for County Court-at-Law #3 judge, said his fellow Republican was a "straight shooter" who will accept any responsibility that needs to be taken. When told Brady announced he was willing to take his medicine, Valdez, a big supporter of the "Shattered Lives" program, said that proves the "kind of guy" Brady is.
"That's what the Shattered Lives teaches, accepting the consequences of our actions," Valdez said. "I don't think this will impede him. The reputation that he has and the work that he's done remain unchanged with this outcome."

There's been a lot of talk recently about Epic Game's all hands on deck approach to the development of Fortnite Battle Royale. It's been said that Epic has been pulling development resources away from other games to work on Fortnite.
Paragon is apparently one of those games. The Hero MOBA title which launched into Early Access in 2016 and then Open Beta in early 2017, has seen development and growth slow in recent months. Today the Paragon developers issued a statement, looking to start a discussion within the community and let everyone know where they're at with the game.
Paragon's release cadence will be slower going forward
In a Reddit post, the Paragon developers claim that while their efforts have been focused on growing the game, none of their efforts have been good enough to achieve mainstream success. The developer even say that they are questioning whether they have a good path to grow Paragon into a thriving game.
The developers say that progress has been slower for a couple of reasons. The first is that the Paragon team is split between making intermediate and long-term changes. The second, is that their team is smaller as "a number of Paragon team members jumped onto Fortnite to help sustain the game as it has grown far larger than anything in Epic's past."
"Over the next few weeks, we'll be figuring out if and how we can evolve Paragon to achieve growth and success, and trying some things internally. In the meantime, Paragon's release cadence will be slower," reads the post. So it's entirely unclear what the future holds for Paragon at this point and whether it's even sustainable for Epic to keep developing it at all.
While it looks likely that Paragon will "Die a Slow Death" as we've titled this article, there's still very much a chance for it to succeed. The players who do play the game and stick with it have plenty of ideas for the developers to try and implement to achieve this sustainability.

6 Common Myths about Social Security
Copyright © 2018 by AARP. All rights reserved.
Rumors swirl about the state of Social Security's finances, hidden meaning in the numbers, and other topics that find fertile ground on the Internet and are spread through social media. Unfortunately, myths can be harmful because they undermine public understanding of Social Security and confidence in the program at a time when the nation needs a constructive, fact-based discussion. Here, six common myths are dispelled; see also Four Outrageous Myths about Social Security.
Myth: Social Security Is a Ponzi Scheme
This is a claim made by critics of the program who really are saying that Social Security is inherently unbalanced and doomed to fail. Their charge is based on a superficial comparison of Social Security with a type of fraud associated with Charles Ponzi, a charismatic con artist in the early 20th century.
Ponzi's infamous scheme involved speculation in international postal coupons. He lured his victim investors by promising returns of 50 percent at a time when banks were paying around 5 percent interest. Early investors were paid with money from later investors, a hallmark of Ponzi schemes. Such frauds may work for a little while, but inevitably they collapse. (Just ask Bernie Madoff.)
The misleading comparison of Social Security to a Ponzi scheme is based on the fact that Social Security does require one group (workers) to help support another group (retirees and other beneficiaries). This system is sometimes described as a pay-as-you-go system or a transfer payment.
The Ponzi label falls apart, however, when you think it through. For one thing, Social Security doesn't rely on a soaring base of contributors, as Ponzi schemes do. Instead, it requires a somewhat predictable relationship between the number of workers and beneficiaries, along with adequate revenues. A lower U.S. birthrate starting in the 1960s, combined with increasing life expectancy that has resulted in an aging of the population, is the cause of Social Security's expected shortfall.
Social Security has other fundamental differences from a Ponzi scheme. Importantly, it's transparent. Each year, the Social Security Administration (SSA) releases information about its financial state in exhaustive detail, along with projections 75 years into the future, based on different economic assumptions. Scams, by contrast, thrive on secrecy and deception. And unlike a Ponzi scheme, the money not used to pay current benefits has built up a surplus of almost $2.8 trillion.
Another basic difference between Social Security and a Ponzi scheme is in the goals. A crook hatches a Ponzi scheme to get rich at others' expense. Social Security provides social insurance to protect people. Money goes from one generation to help support another generation. Your tax contributions help support your parents. One day, the contributions of future generations will help support you.
Myth: Social Security Is Going Broke
People have heard so much talk about Social Security's finances that it's easy to see why they may think the program is going off the cliff. That's not the case, however.
Social Security can pay full benefits until about 2033 — and it can continue to pay about three-fourths of benefits thereafter, according to the program's trustees. The gap is caused by the fact that a relatively smaller number of workers will be supporting a relatively higher number of retirees (mainly because of lower birthrates since the 1960s).
The large number of Baby Boomers retiring, combined with the smaller number of individuals paying into the system through the payroll tax (because of lower birthrates), has caused Social Security benefits to surpass the amount of payroll taxes coming in. To make up for this shortfall, Social Security will increasingly draw down its trust funds of almost $2.8 trillion to supplement the revenues that will continue to pour in (primarily through payroll taxes).
The funding gap can be closed through a combination of modest tax increases and/or phased-in benefit cuts for future retirees. Although it has been difficult for lawmakers to make a deal, various policy options show that it's possible.
Assertions that Social Security is running out of money erode the confidence of younger people, who will need Social Security one day. Polls have shown, for example, that substantial numbers of future beneficiaries — as high as 80 percent — expect nothing from Social Security when they reach old age. This undue pessimism helps reinforce the next myth.
Myth: The Social Security Trust Funds Are Worthless
Social Security revenues stream into U.S. Treasury accounts known as the Social Security trust funds. One trust fund pays benefits for retirees and survivors; the other pays benefits for disability. (The revenues come from the payroll tax and some of the income tax paid by higher-income retirees.)
Most of the trust-fund money is used quickly to pay benefits. But a big surplus has developed over the years — almost $2.8 trillion. Under the law, Social Security is required to lend the surplus funds to the federal government, which is then obliged to pay it back with interest. This lending takes place through investment in special-issue, medium- and long-term Treasury securities that can always be redeemed at face value.
This sanctioned lending, by the way, is the reason you may sometimes hear claims that the government "raids" the Social Security trust funds.
Those who contend that the trust funds are worthless are really predicting that the federal government won't make good on that debt — even though the bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, just like other Treasury bonds held by the public. Investors throughout the world retain confidence in this nation to make good on the debt it owes, as demonstrated by the ongoing demand for U.S. Treasury bonds, even at a time of government deficits and budget battles.
In the coming years, Social Security will rely increasingly on income from bond interest and actual bond sales to pay benefits. That means the U.S. government faces a large and growing bill to pay Social Security back for the money it has borrowed over the years.
Myth: You'd Be Better Off Investing in Stocks
You hear this myth more often during boom times, but for the average person, it's highly dubious at any time. To be clear: It's important for people to save as much as they can, and stock investments may be an important element in your savings.
But the notion that you'd be better off without Social Security usually doesn't hold up. For one thing, Social Security and stock investing aren't substitutes for each other. Unlike stocks, Social Security provides broad protections for you and your loved ones, including benefits for disability, survivors, and dependent family members. These benefits may be payable if tragedy strikes at an early age, before you've had the many years needed to build up a nest egg.
Also, Social Security shields retirement income from risks that are inherent in the financial markets. Although stock returns may be greater, stocks are more volatile. If a market collapses at the wrong moment, your holdings can be hammered. Social Security, by contrast, provides a guaranteed benefit.
If you truly want to save for yourself, it helps to consider how much of a nest egg you need to match the protections you get from Social Security. You could buy an annuity to provide monthly income under certain circumstances. But what would it cost? Suppose you were trying to equal the average Social Security retirement benefit (about $1,360 a month in 2017). You would need hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase a survivor annuity that matched the benefit, starting at age 66 and protected for inflation. A higher-paying annuity meant to equal Social Security's family maximum for top earners (more than $4,000 a month) would cost more than a million dollars. Annuity price tags vary as interest rates change; also, insurance companies charge different amounts, so you can't find one lasting dollar figure.
Neither of the products described here equals Social Security's protections. They don't cover family members while you're alive, including a spouse or children, nor do they offer child survivor benefits when you die.
Could you save half a million bucks? Suppose you had 40 years to build up the nest egg. At a 3 percent rate of return, you'd have to set aside about $6,500 per year. Most people don't save that much. Many people have nothing left over by the time they pay the monthly bills. Of those who do save, many could set aside more. Also, many people take money out of their nest eggs when needs arise. Unfortunately, such withdrawals can do lasting harm. Saving requires long-term discipline and possibly short-term sacrifice.
About one in three adults who have yet to retire report no retirement savings or pension, according to a Federal Reserve study in 2015. While savings do increase with age, millions of older workers lack adequate nest eggs. Imagine how much more insecure your retirement would be if you had to depend completely on yourself to save for retirement. Maybe you could pull it off, but most people are better off with the guarantees of Social Security.
Myth: When Social Security Started, People Didn't Even Live to 65
This observation shows how the "facts" can be misleading. Its underlying point — that Social Security was designed to pay little in benefits because people wouldn't live long enough to collect them — isn't true.
Back when Social Security was created, life expectancy was shorter; a high rate of infant mortality meant that many people didn't reach adulthood, and life expectancy at birth was especially low. (In 1930, it was about age 58 for men and 62 for women.) If you survived childhood, though, you could expect to live many more years. Among men who lived to 21, more than half were expected to reach 65. If you reached 65, your life expectancy came to about 78. (Women lived longer than men, as they still do.) Life expectancy at 65 has increased since the 1930s, to be sure, but much less dramatically than life expectancy at birth.
The architects of Social Security knew the program would serve many millions of beneficiaries as time passed. They concluded that age 65 fit with public attitudes and could be financed through an affordable level of payroll taxes.
The notion that Social Security was designed to cost little because people died early is simply not true.
Myth: Congress Keeps Pushing Benefits Higher Than Intended
Commentators sometimes assert that, over the years, generous lawmakers have hiked Social Security benefits far beyond the intention of the program's founders. These heaped-on benefits, the story goes, explain why Social Security faces a future shortfall.
It's true that Congress has enhanced benefits on several occasions since the program's initial approval in 1935. But such changes were consistent with the intent of Social Security as a social insurance program for all Americans.
By the important measure of replacement rates (how much of your pre-retirement income you get back in benefits), Social Security has been stable over the decades. In fact, replacement rates are now declining because of the gradually increasing age for full retirement benefits that Congress approved in 1983.
When Social Security first began, benefits were limited to payments to retirees. The intent of the program, however, was to provide meaningful social insurance for certain risks in life and to extend such protections to dependent family members. Family benefits (including for survivors) were added in 1939, followed later by coverage for disabled workers and their dependents. Automatic annual cost-of-living increases took effect in 1975 to replace the ad hoc approach to inflation adjustments that had been followed previously.
The fallacy is that these reforms undermined Social Security's long-term stability. Studies have shown that the addition of survivor and auxiliary benefits was offset to some degree by slower growth in benefits paid directly to workers. The anticipated shortfall reflects the fact that relatively fewer workers (because of a lower birthrate since the 1960s) will be supporting a bigger population of longer-living retirees in the coming years.

Sthephen Rea trying to solve the mystery of Dill.
The "Crying Game", made in 1992, is generally recognized as the most important work of Neil Jordan, but also a movie feature point of 90s cinema. Subversive, unpredictable and avant-garde, Jordan's film created an unprecedented wave of cinematic debates and confrontations. The "Crying Game", 26 years after its first screening, continues to challenge every viewer to analyze it, exploring in depth the complex themes he discusses.
The "Crying Game" at a Glance
A British soldier (Forrest Whitaker) is being kidnapped by a group of IRA terrorists. During his hostage, and while his performance is given, he develops a peculiar friendship with his future performer, Fergus (Stephen Rea). After the tragic end of the hostage, Fergus changes identity and looks for the dead soldier's mistress. And while a particular romance develops between them, Fergus will face unexpected revelations, but also with his own past.
Homer and Powers shortly before tragic developments … The frog and the scorpion
The "Crying Game" is divided into two parts. In the first part, the center of gravity of the plot is located in the peculiar friendship of Fergus with the captive British soldier. In the second, the thematic axis of history is completely shifted, overturning every prediction of the public about the evolution of the plot.
The prisoner-prison relationship has a particular cinematic and meaningful value. Beyond the fact that Whitaker's chemistry with Rea creates an emblematic film couple, their relationship, though brief and short-lived, will be fatal, ironic and tragic for both the heroes themselves and the third and a decisive face of the story that will make its appearance in the second part of the film.
In one context, sometimes marvelously funny and once deeply macabre, the two heroes develop a personal and existential touch. Cinematically, this relationship culminates in the narrative of the folk tale of "frogs and scorpions" by Whitaker. A story that, besides its symbolic value, is a tribute to Orson Welles' Mr Arkadin, as the same parody is heard there.
Shortly before the hatred strikes and the young soldier loses his life tragically, he chooses to show Fergus a photograph of his beloved, asking him to grace to meet her and take care after his death. This photo will also be the transition to the second part of the film. When, now, Fergus changes name to escape the IRA and chooses to look for the girl of photography …
Dill's first appearance singing the famous Crying Game «I've got my share of the Crying Game»
The second half of the film begins with Fergus looking for the girl in a fringe bar. Dill's first appearance takes place under the sounds of the homonym with the title of the song "Crying Game". A song melancholic and romantic, just like the film itself.
Somewhere there begins an idyllic love story. A love story that will bring together two heroes persecuted, injured, guilty, and afraid. Jordan, rooted in this romance, is inventively trying to "play" with multifaceted and complex themes. The quirkiness of Fergus's relationship with Dill is not only found in the sexual identity of the latter. On the contrary, one would say that this revelation misleads the viewer.
In fact, the central axis of the "Crying Game" is the internal conflict between the heroes between their sexual, political and social identity. The existential wandering of both Fergus and Dill inevitably brings to mind the "Hitcock" perspective that explores the concept of "identity" in the light of psychoanalysis.
So in the "Crying Game", the relationship between Fergus's sexual identity and the re-emergence of an old love in the face of exceptional Miranda Richardson, Dill's disguise just before the finale and the subversive climax in the end, Jordan to faithfully follow the recipe of "Divine Alfred".
The masterful "games" of Neil Jordan
Despite Jordan's "Crying Game" with many cinematic references, the nature of the film remains distinct. Jordan proves to be a measure of aesthetics and atmosphere. It features scenes of extraordinary and wild charm that still remain classical, and some scenario finds the magnitude of its cinematic intelligence.
All you have to do is look at the scenes unfolding in the dark and turbid bar of Dill's bar. A place where margin and frustration meet hope and expectation. The presence of the barman in a small but memorable role is also unquestionable.
Equally convincing is Jordan's approach to the noir side of the "Crying Game". In fact, he proved to be a worthy operator of suspense and anxiety both in the excellent first scene of capture and in the fatal and moving pursuit of Whitaker by Rea.
The past hits the door again … Couscous…
Apart from the film's analysis, it is worth mentioning some information about its creation. Great interest, therefore, is the paradigm that led Jordan to the title of his film. More specifically, the British director wanted to give the title "Soldier's wife". A title, which, after all, seems indifferent.
What was it that led Jordan to "Crying Game". Of course, his good friend Stanley Kubrick, who taught him that military titles are not convincing. That's how the Crying Game, which is of course infinitely seductive, but also more "commercial" due to the homonymous song.
Finally, a funny event stands out, which is better not to be read by those who have not seen the movie. When, during filming, Jaye Davidson, who plays Dill, felt an ailment, anxious all the production rushed to call doctors to look at him. A doctor, ignoring the Jaye leaf, wondered if it was a pregnant event that caused the laughter of all attendees …
After the above Crying Game analysis, the final conclusion is as follows: Even almost three decades after its release, Neil Jordan's film continues to invite you to study and explore it. And whatever conclusions one can draw on the film, the deep inner dynamics of this film can always inspire your interest, as many times as you watch it!

Multiple world kayaking champion Aimee Fisher was inspirational as Hawke's Bay's Manuz & Jeminaz produced the upset of the national waka ama championships at Lake Karapiro on Saturday.
The Haeata Ocean Sports club crew of Roni Nuku, Te Waia Nuku, Fisher, Geni Walters, Annie Cairns and Kaye Ross won the premier women's W6 1500m turning race. Among the teams they beat in the final was Horouta's Kaiarahi Toa from Gisborne, the 2018 world champions who were aiming for a 10th consecutive title in this event.
"Aimee brings more than her muscle. She is a powerhouse who was doing a turning race for the first time after paddling for us in the straight races last year and she loved the turning race. She was great when we had our fine tune talks after each race and focused on the fixables," the oldest of the MJ'z, Ross, explained yesterday.
"Aimee loves the waka scene ... it's her happy place. She loves the Maori environment as it's a different vibe for her and there isn't the same pressure she is used to," Ross said.
"Ladies you are all absolutely incredible. I've been in some pretty epic races over the years but I can honestly say that the 1500m final is my all time favourite race. Everyone showed so much courage and determination. So perfect. I love being apart of this family," Olympian Fisher, a two-time Hawke's Bay Sportsperson of the Year award winner, told the crew afterwards.
One of the original crew members from 2011, Cairns and Roni Nuku are the others, Ross, 51, said the MJ'z knew Kaiarahi Toa were beatable at the 30th annual nationals.
"We always go into events wanting to perform well but the difficulty with this crew is we didn't have a full training together before the nationals because Aimee is based in Auckland and Annie is busy with her Fire Service work in Palmerston North."
Kaiarahi Toa went into the final with the fastest qualifying time by 15 seconds. MJ'z shocked the world champions by sticking with them at the second turn. Kaiarahi Toa had no response for this unfamiliar pressure which MJ'z capitalised on going on to win by 11 seconds. There was a mixture of shock and elation from the supporters and spectators with many saying "this was the race of the whole regatta".
Maori Television commentator Te Arahi Maipi expected Horouta to "pull" MJ'z back by saying "with all that talent and experience, you can bet they will have some trick – they will have something left" but he quickly adjusted his comments when MJ'z continued to pull away and this time saying "it's not just the fact that MJz are leading, it's the fact they are dominating this race".
He finished his commentary with "MJ'z – with one of 'THE' performances of this year's nationals."
The MJ'z were the only Hawke's Bay crew to win a premier title at the nationals. They also won silver in their 500m final and bronze when they combined with their club's under-19 crew to compete in the W12 500m event.
Nuku paddled alongside two of her daughters, Te Waia and Pareputiputi in the W12 crew while Ross paddling with her daughter Mahina. Other members of the W12 crew were Rosalia Samia, Natalya Roberts, Kamoe Fabish and Honoria Ropiha.
Ross pointed out the W6 crew is hoping to be available to attempt a second consecutive title next year. Several of the crew are already focused on competing at the August 2020 world championships in Hawaii.

The Mike Harvey Show– ALL SONGS BY REQUEST!
Listen Monday – Thursday from 7 pm to Midnight.
Friday and Saturdays from 6 pm – Midnight.
At the age of 10, Mike Harvey's passion was RADIO. Filing records at his local station and building his first "illegal" radio station in his bedroom (the neighbors' complaints shut him down in just a few days) was just the beginning of Mike's career! Anxious to hear more "rock & roll music," Mike built his own receiver by stringing a "spider web" of copper antenna wire throughout the neighborhood roofs and tree-tops. It worked! And his ingenuity allowed Mike to receive music from distant rock & roll stations throughout the country where now-famous disk jockeys influenced him. On his 16th birthday, Mike received his Radio Operator's License, and that same day, applied to the local radio station for a disk-jockey job…. and became "The Teen Time" DJ after school…. for a whopping $20/week!
Mike is well known around all of central Florida including work with many Orlando stations and has been broadcasting his evening Mike Harvey shows to over 100 stations for over 20 years. Now Mike brings the Mike Harvey Shows to 98.5 The Beach, broadcasting nation wide from The Beach studios and taking your requests on the Beachline 321-242-9850
Visit The Mike Harvey Show's Website at www.themikeharveyshow.com to find out more or to request songs, visit The Mike Harvey Show on Facebook by clicking here!

Lauderdale.
In the 80's, Mike joined legendary research specialist Bill Moyes in creating the Transtar Radio Networks … the FIRST satellite-delivered programming service in the world! As Vice President of Programming and Operations, Mike designed, built and managed the network's formats which still operate today under the banner of the Westwood One Radio Networks. While running Transtar in Los Angeles, Mike launched "SuperGold Saturday Night", which quickly became America's favorite syndicated weekend show. Over the past 20+ years, Mike has evolved the presentation and music format and extended the winning concept to 6 nights a week as "The Mike Harvey Shows."
Recognizing the current economic trend by many stations to abandon competitive night-time programming by resorting to voice-tracking or total automation, Mike continues to dedicate himself to radio's success! How? By designing a completely unique Daily show, Mike draws audiences back to local radio with the fully customized "The Mike Harvey Show." Weaving his magic as a pioneer and innovator, this new LIVE LOCAL show is the "buzz" among classic hits, oldies, and AC stations!

The UK Technology Enhanced Emergency Services Forum (UKTEES) is pleased to welcome business solutions experts, CDS, who are contributing an expert speaker as well as demonstrating their 'ResilienceDirect™' solution. CDS has helped large organisations throughout the UK and Europe to reduce costs and enhance the delivery of services by improving the clarity and effectiveness of communications, providing a strong and secure data analytics platform to help organisations gain efficiency from their data. CDS client sectors include Central and Local Government, Transport and Tourism, Property and 'Blue Light Services' – most notably the Met Police Service.
ResilienceDirect™ is an innovative solution which enables civil protection practitioners to work together across geographical or organisation boundaries to effectively prepare, or initiate response operations for events or emergencies. The Civil Contingences Act implemented in 2004 ensures that emergency responders co-operate, and share information, relating to emergencies to initiate an efficient co-ordinated response. CDS working with Luana Avagliano, Head of the ResilienceDirect Team at the Cabinet Office, has developed an effective online private 'network' which meets these specifications and guarantees that information is readily available across emergency services. The network allows for the sharing of emergency plans and situation reports, managing contact information, updates about forthcoming exercise or events and issuing news and guidance from central government on a secure platform that operates at a protective marking level of 'Official – Sensitive'.
Mike Collier, Technical Director for CDS said "CDS is pleased to be bringing ResilienceDirect™ to the (UKTEES) forum. Our platform is proving to be a very strong asset for 'Blue light services' and wider emergency responders such as the NHS, Local Authorities and the army, aiming to improve interoperability and co-ordinate secure efficient, cost-effective responses to real-time events and emergencies. At this forum, key decision makers can come together to realise investment opportunities that have proven to make a measurable difference to emergency service end users"
