Bluetooth works on radio waves and can enable people/businesses to send out alerts through text, images and videos straight to your handset. But is this form of communication intrusive? Or, the next logical step in advertising?

I'm in two minds about this, I mean, on the one hand I would much prefer to have a discreet offer sent to my mobile phone rather than some guy thrusting a flyer in my face - which I then have to find a bin for. I suppose the beauty of having through to my phone is I can keep it for later use if I want to, or just delete it and forget about it if it's not relevant. However, when this form of communication takes off, does that mean that every step down the high street is going to bombard my phone with discount offers and advertising content? I wonder how long that would take to get annoying.

It's a tricky one. I suppose if the content is relevant to me and offering something that I would find useful then I am going to be more then happy to accept it but if the content sent is mindless drivel offering ring tones and nothing of any consequence, then its probably going to get on my wick after a while.

I know of many successful pub chains that use an intricate blue tooth system that randomly sends out different drinks offers using jpegs between 7pm and 9pm. Its pot luck what offer you get through but the novelty value certainly encourages more punters in.

I would say overall it's a positive thing. Less litter on the streets, easy retention of details and no big impact on our carbon footprint - but those mean advertisers still get their message across. And if you're really opposed to it - you can simply turn your Bluetooth off, presto no more messages!

Surgeons continue to triumph at the No. 1 spot, earning over $181, 850 annually, the next seven spots are occupied by various sorts of specialists in the medical field. The only two occupations that do not involve medical practitioners are Chief executives at No. 9 and airline pilots at No. 13. Jobs in the leisure business such as restaurant and hotel employees remain at the opposite end of the scale with fast-food cooks, dishwashers and waiters.

Based on BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) projections, data and mathematical models, of the top ten occupations expected to post the strongest growth employment by 2012, eight are health care related. “Health care services will rise drastically,” according to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. The baby boom generation will start hitting retirement in 2008 and demand assistance to physical therapy and home aid. Below is a graph resulting from a survey conducted by the BLS, demonstrating the percentage increase in demand for certain occupations between 2002-2012.

Representing the No. 3 on the list, AAPA (The American Academy of Physician Assistants) will experience the largest amount of increase, growing 59% according to the survey. Their job is to fulfill clinical duties for health professionals, updating charts, drawing blood, taking blood pressure and answering phones. On average, considering the strains of a medical assistant, and being everything short of examining and diagnosing a patient, their annual salary is $24, 810.

In terms of job conception, second to people's health will be the nurturing of technology. One weapon in the armory of system analysis will be computer care in the form of a data specialist, who is able to design technology solutions for business assistance. From 2002-2012, the industry occupies No. 8 and No. 9, increasing in demand by 57% according to BLS reports. According to Information Technology Association of America spokesman Bob Cohen, the programmer's category is the largest in the IT field with 2.1 million.

Another survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics demonstrated the results of the best paying jobs. Contributing factors to the analysis are the required training and cost for each profession. According to the Medical Association, on average, after four years of medical school, students emerge with $110, 000 in loan dept.

Forbes Magazine included William Gates, whose source of money sprouted from Microsoft, as a man worth $46.6 million dollars. Paul Allen, who is also known for his work with Microsoft computer technology, is worth $21 million according to the survey. The collective net worth of the nation's wealthiest climbed to $1.25 trillion, as published in the Forbes 400 list, presenting information verifying that the medical field, health and social services in the humanitarian field and computer technology are predicted to be the industries that are paying the most now and will continue to produce millionaires.

Right now, around the world restaurants owners are victim of limited professional chefs, not to mention maintaining a full kitchen crew. The pleasure of working in a good, no great kitchen has seemed to diminished, questionable facilities and low salary expectations are what are expected these days, leaving a chef with little value in what they do.

As a ex restaurant chef,and one of the two owners of Chef Chop Chop Entertainment, my vision and maybe the solution is to refine and unite, owners, chefs and patrons.

Bring back the value and roots of good food dining. The reality, in the back stage world of food in North America and so more countries.

Clients are Number One, but consideration must be made for the Chef and the staff. A chef is not hired for his quality but for tool productions, only to produce, without time to create, or time for quality placing emphasis on quantity for money and profit. A chef is an artist, an artist in the kitchen, his creation are the wonder meals he prepares

But how can one create with such stringent structure, stifling environments. Today's hectic life style, requires less undue stress, but the system push people to consume pills, too many, and for no reasons, other than instant gratification, some sort of magic elixir.

Natural and healthy meals are just one alternative, and making time to eat, so to replace the pills by good food.

Where are we going?

Pills and chemicals are so destructive to your body. More people are choosing alternative and preventive medicines.

It is time for a change.

We need to revalue the Chef Title. One can not become a chef in a day.

Future Value = Principle * ( 1 + Interest Rate ) Number of Years

So for example, if we had $1000 and we loaned it for 10 years at 8% interest, the future value would be:

1000 * (1.08)10 = $2158.92

The $1000 is worth $2158.92 in the long run. Inflation can eat away as much as 3% of that compounded each year. Thats one of the reasons why note investors buy notes at a discount. The note in our example has a future value of $2158 but what is that money worth now? In order to earn that same $2158 adjusted for inflation, we would have to earn an extra 3% a year on our money! We can't do that, but if we adjust the formula for the extra 3%:

2158 = Present Value * ( 1.08 + .03 ) 10 years

We end up with a present value of $760. So a note investor knows that the thousand dollars that was loaned at 8% interest is actually only worth $760 presently to someone who wants to earn that 8%! It is actually only earning 5% because of inflation!

You can also adjust the formula if you want to get higher return than the note was written for. For example, if you wanted to earn 10% interest on that same note, plug it into the formula:

2158 = Present Value * ( 1.10) 10 years

The note is worth $832 to someone who wants to increase his return to 10% instead of 8%.

Knowing this is vital to a note broker. If you have an investor that you are working with, ask her how much of a return she is looking to get and you will be able to ballpark how much she will be willing to pay for notes.

This is how to do it - picked up from a gypsy.

Buy a simple gold chain (go for 9 carat gold as it is the easiest and cheapest to come by) - start collecting 9 carat gold rings and string them on the chain until the total weight reaches 100g or 3 ½ oz. This is worth around $825 at today's scrap prices. Then I put this one away somewhere secure (a safety deposit box or secure storage recommended) and start a new chain.

Old wedding rings are the easiest and cheapest to buy - on eBay, from auctions, Pawnbrokers, from antiques fairs or jewelers who sell second-hand jewelry. It doesn't matter if they are a bit worn or out of shape as you only want them for weight. Another good one is gold rings that have engraving or people's names on as these are usually difficult to sell and so fetch lower prices.

Gold is very easy to sell in quantity as scrap - many high street jewelers have a sign in their windows asking to buy old gold jewelry and if the rings you buy are any good you may well get a higher price than scrap.

It's a great idea for saving up for a College or University fund for a new baby, a special holiday in a few years time, retirement or emergency fund. This is a simple way to save $40 or $50 every week, month or whenever you like.
