Retirement Income Planning Florida Launches No-Cost ‘Income Gap Analysis’ Program for Pre-Retirees

St Petersburg, Florida, USA, September 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire

Retirement Income Planning Florida Launches No-Cost Retirement Income Gap Analysis Program for Pre-Retirees Statewide. No-cost planning service helps Florida households approaching retirement quantify the shortfall between essential monthly expenses and guaranteed income

Retirement Income Planning Florida, doing business as Advanced Capital Management, today announced the launch of its Retirement Income Gap Analysis program, a structured planning service for Florida households within ten years of retirement.

The program applies a methodology developed by firm principal John Ziesing, FRC, who has spent 35 years in financial services. Participants complete a worksheet itemizing essential monthly expenses — housing, healthcare, insurance, food, utilities and transportation — then subtract guaranteed income sources including Social Security and any pension benefits. The remaining figure is what the firm calls the retirement income gap.

“Most people arrive at retirement with an account balance and no idea what monthly paycheck it produces,” said John Ziesing, FRC, principal at Advanced Capital Management. “The number that matter is not the balance. It is the gap between what a household must spend every month and what arrives automatically. Once that number is on paper, the planning conversation changes entirely.”

The launch responds to a structural shift in how Americans fund retirement. As employer pensions have given way to defined contribution plans, responsibility for converting savings into lifetime income has moved to individual households. Florida, home to one of the largest retiree populations in the United States, has a concentrated share of families managing that transition without a guaranteed income floor beyond Social Security.

The program also addresses sequence-of-returns risk — the possibility that poor market performance in the years immediately before and after retirement, a period the firm refers to as the retirement red zone, forces withdrawals from a declining portfolio and permanently shortens how long assets last.

Program Components Include:

  • A completed Retirement Income Gap Analysis identifying the monthly shortfall between essential expenses and guaranteed income
  • A written comparison of funding approaches, including systematic portfolio withdrawals and partial annuitization using single premium immediate annuities or fixed indexed annuities with income riders
  • A plain-language handout distinguishing account value from benefit base, an area the firm identifies as a frequent source of consumer confusion
  • A liquidity review intended to keep six to twelve months of expenses accessible outside of any contract

The firm’s stated approach is to address the gap rather than the full account balance. “Annuitize the gap, not the account,” Ziesing said. “Cover what cannot be left to chance, and keep the remainder invested and liquid.”

The Retirement Income Gap Analysis is available at no cost to Florida residents. Prospective participants can request the firm’s Guide to Income Gap Planning or schedule a consultation at www.retirementincomeplanningflorida or by calling 727-542-7659.

Ireland-Based Artist Francis Lanuza Releases 100 Lucky Dragons NFT Collection

DUBLIN, Ireland, 3rd Sep 2026 – Francis Lanuza BArch, an Ireland-based architect, interior designer and fine artist who works under the trademark iSCO, has released an NFT collection titled 100 Lucky Dragons on the OpenSea marketplace.

The 100-piece series depicts red dragons winding through stylised clouds and floral motifs. In Asian cultures, the dragon is a traditional symbol of luck, success and protection, a theme Lanuza said he drew on for the collection.

“Their sharp fangs, blazing eyes and intricately sculpted scales bridge the gap between ancient mythology and digital artistry, set against backdrops of traditional success and good fortune symbols,” Lanuza said of the collection.

Lanuza holds a degree in architecture and works across architecture, interior design and fine art. His work has previously been covered in the national press, and he has taken part in open national art commissions.

NFT platforms such as OpenSea allow artists to set a royalty on secondary sales of their work, typically up to 10%, which Lanuza has applied to this collection.

“High-quality NFT art continues to be a point of interest for those looking to merge technology with cultural and artistic expression,” Lanuza said. “When a piece combines artistry with deep-rooted symbolism, it becomes part of a distinct digital body of work.”

The iSCO trademark is registered to Lanuza to identify his artistic output and distinguish his work from that of other creators.

The 100 Lucky Dragons collection can be viewed on OpenSea: opensea.io/iSCO_Designs.

Leor Zlotnik sets a personal standard for how design decisions get made

A standard, not a slogan

Illinois, USA, Sep 03, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Leor Zlotnik has spent years building LZ Interiors on a specific idea: a beautiful room means nothing if the client got a bad deal to build it. Now that idea has a name and a set of rules attached to it.

The standard is simple to state. Every recommendation made to a client has to answer one question first: does this serve the homeowner, or does it serve a vendor, a trend, or a commission. If the answer is not clearly the homeowner, the recommendation does not go out.

“I did not want this to live in a mission statement and nowhere else,” Zlotnik said. “It has to change what happens on a Tuesday afternoon when a fabric sample comes in and it is gorgeous and it is also marked up 40 percent past what it should be.”

What the standard actually checks

The practice breaks down into a few concrete habits, applied on every project rather than as a one-time audit.

Every material gets sourced back to its actual price. Before a fabric, stone, or fixture goes into a presentation, Zlotnik’s team traces what it costs at the source, not just what a showroom quotes. Clients see the gap when there is one.

Every vendor recommendation gets a reason attached. LZ Interiors does not present options as a menu. Each one comes with a plain explanation of why it is there and what it costs the client if it fails in real use, not just on a mood board.

Construction pitfalls get flagged before they get expensive. A material that photographs well but wears poorly, or a layout that looks clean on paper but creates a maintenance problem later, gets called out at the design stage, when it is cheap to change, instead of after installation, when it is not.

No recommendation ships without the “who does this help” test. It is the same question, applied every time: this choice benefits the homeowner first, or it does not go in the plan.

Why Zlotnik is formalizing it now

LZ Interiors built its reputation on a highly curated aesthetic, the kind that photographs well and travels well on Instagram. Zlotnik has been direct about wanting the practice behind that aesthetic to hold up just as well.

“Anyone can show a client a beautiful photo,” Zlotnik said. “The harder job is telling them exactly what that photo is made of, what it costs to actually build it, and where someone might try to take advantage of them along the way. That is the job I actually signed up for.”

That distinction, between showing a client a vision and handing them the decisions behind it, has shaped how LZ Interiors operates from the start. Formalizing it as a standard is meant to make sure it does not get diluted as the studio takes on more work.

What clients can expect going forward

Under the standard, clients working with LZ Interiors should expect line-item transparency on materials and sourcing, a plain explanation for every vendor on a project, and early warning on any choice that carries hidden risk once construction starts.

Zlotnik describes the goal in blunt terms: fewer surprises, fewer overpaid line items, and a client who understands what they bought and why, at every stage of the process.

“I would rather lose a sale than let someone spend six figures on something I know will not hold up,” Zlotnik said. “That is not a slogan. That is just what I am willing to put my name on.”

How cultural exchanges foster friendship among peoples

How can cultural exchanges foster friendship among peoples and promote mutual learning between civilizations? CGTN has published an article examining how cooperation in culture, education, tourism and heritage preservation helps strengthen understanding and trust across borders.

“China and Egypt share many cultural similarities,” Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, said on Wednesday, as she praised the exquisite exhibits for fully showcasing the wisdom and unique aesthetic sensibilities of the Egyptian people.

While chatting over tea and visiting a small handicrafts exhibition in Cairo with Entissar El-Sisi, wife of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Peng said Egypt has a long history and a profound cultural heritage. She expressed the hope that artists from the two countries would strengthen exchanges and cooperation to allow traditional crafts to continue to shine with renewed vitality through inheritance and mutual learning.

Deepening people-to-people exchanges

“Known for their age-old civilizations, China and Egypt have each contributed an invaluable intellectual legacy and splendid cultural heritage to the progress of humanity.” In a signed article published in Egyptian media on Tuesday ahead of his state visit to Egypt, Xi said that across time and space, the two civilizations have been reaching out to each other, writing new chapters in the everlasting friendship between the two peoples.

The China-Egypt relationship has always been an example of friendship and mutual learning. In recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, exchanges and mutual learning between the two civilizations have continued to deepen.

From the launch of the China-Egypt joint archaeological project at the Montu Temple in Luxor in 2018 to the joint project at Saqqara in 2024, cooperation between the two countries in archaeology has advanced steadily. The 2025 exhibition “On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt” at the Shanghai Museum featured 788 precious artifacts, more than 95% of which were displayed in Asia for the first time. It attracted more than 2.77 million visits.

In Egypt, there has been a Chinese language learning craze for years. The country was among the first Arab and African countries to introduce Chinese-language education. Today, 36 Egyptian universities have Chinese language departments, while 41 secondary schools in 10 provinces offer Chinese as an elective subject, according to official figures from the Chinese Embassy in Egypt.

Egypt has also long been a popular tourist destination for Chinese visitors. Chinese tourists made more than 360,000 visits to Egypt in 2025, up 20% year on year, Chinese official data shows. More than 30 direct flights operate between the two countries each week.

Mutual learning among civilizations

Peng has long been committed to promoting cultural exchanges and fostering mutual understanding and friendship among peoples. When attending an event for spouses of leaders participating in the 2026 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Bishkek on Tuesday, she invited Kyrgyz artists to visit China for more performances and cultural exchanges so as to give Chinese audiences a closer look at the country’s rich ethnic culture.

This echoes China’s broader call for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. When proposing the Global Civilization Initiative in March 2023, Xi said tolerance, coexistence, exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations play an irreplaceable role in advancing humanity’s modernization process.

“We advocate robust international people-to-people exchanges and cooperation,” Xi said, stressing that countries need to explore the building of a global network for inter-civilization dialogue and cooperation to promote mutual understanding and friendship among people of all countries.

The 2026 edition is set to host over 600 regional and international speakers with special conference theatres.

The First Annual Prompty Awards to Celebrate the Best of AI-Assisted Fiction

New competition invites authors to submit AI-generated and AI-assisted novels across six genre categories, with a grand prize that includes a publishing deal

United States, 3rd Sep 2026 — The Prompty Awards, a new literary competition honoring fiction created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), officially opened for submissions today. The awards recognize writers who are using AI not as a replacement for creativity, but as a tool for expressing it. The competition is open to established novelists, first-time authors, and everyone in between.

The awards recognize fiction across six categories: Literary Fiction, Science Fiction, Mysteries & Thrillers, Speculative Fiction, Romance, and Historical Fiction. Judges will evaluate entries on originality, storytelling, character development, craft, imagination, and the effective use of AI as part of the creative process.

“The Prompty Awards are not about proving that AI can write fiction. We already know it can,” said Hugh Taylor, the awards’ organizer. “The interesting question is what writers can create with it. Great storytelling still requires imagination. That is what we are celebrating.”

Prizes

One work will be named the Prompty Awards Grand Prize Winner and will receive $1,000 in cash and a publishing deal with Apateon Press. Each of the six categories will also award a Gold winner, who receives $500, and a Silver winner, who receives $100, along with official recognition from the Prompty Awards.

How to Enter

Writers may submit AI-generated or AI-assisted fiction, including novels and novellas. The early bird deadline is November 1, 2026, with an application fee of $25. The final submission deadline is December 31, 2026, with an application fee of $40. Winners will be announced on April 1, 2027.

Submission guidelines, rules, and entry forms are available at promptyawards.com.

About the Prompty Awards

The Prompty Awards were created to recognize a new generation of storytellers exploring what fiction can become in the era of AI-assisted writing. The competition welcomes writers of every background and experience level, from traditionally published authors experimenting with new tools to first-time writers who found that AI helped them tell a story they had always wanted to tell.

AnyExam Launches Verified SIE and FINRA Exam Prep Platform

AnyExam launches free, source-verified exam prep for securities licensing candidates with no account or paywall required.

United States, 3rd Sep 2026 – AnyExam has launched a free exam preparation platform for candidates sitting licensing and certification exams. The platform currently covers six securities exams including the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) and core FINRA and NASAA series, and provides 1,283 practice questions, study guides, flashcard decks, cheat sheets, and an AI tutor, all without requiring an account or payment.

Content on the platform is prepared by the AnyExam Editorial Team and reviewed by Vincent Ruan, EA, CFP, whose subject-matter review covers finance, securities, and insurance. Practice questions are original and modeled on official exam blueprints rather than reproduced from actual exams. Each exam is published only after its content passes source review.

The AI tutor allows candidates to ask questions about their exam and receive answers grounded in the same official sources used across the platform. The tutor is available for up to 10 questions per day at no cost without a credit card. Expanded access is available through a paid plan.

AnyExam currently covers the SIE, Series 6, Series 7, Series 63, Series 65, and Series 66 exams. New exams and subject areas are added in waves as content passes editorial review. The platform states it does not publish new exam coverage until that review process is complete.
