Careers and opportunities in the home security industry

Hello there!  I'm Matt Chadwick at the business desk.
For the last few weeks I have been preaching to you about the importance of paying closer attention to your home computer security.  Now I am going to turn things around and ask this very important and loaded question:
Have you ever thought of going into the home computer security business?  This is a very fast growing and demand driven arena and one where demand is beginning to outpace supply.  Why?  Because there are simply not enough home computer security providers to keep up with those awful hackers and identity thieves.
As you read through our headlines for this week, please give some serious thought to my question.
At the business desk, I'm Matt Chadwick bidding you a great day.

Important answers to consumers concerns

Top of the morning to you out there!  I'm Donna J Jodhan at the business desk.
Well, two more days till the end of the month.  We have been extremely busy this past week fielding your comments and questions and I would like to thank you for all of your feedback.
Unfortunately I am unable to answer all of your questions but I always try to do my best.  So, without much more ado, let me get to work on this week's e-bag.
 
Question from Jane Creigerr:  I am thinking of becoming a child care worker and I am wondering about the possibilities for this type of career?
Answer:  Jane, if you speak a second language, hopefully for you Spanish, I truly believe that the opportunities for you have just opened up and the sky can practically be the limit for you.  Please take a look at the article below that I have referred you to.  Spanish is America's second language and more and more Hispanics are placing their kids in the capable hands of child care workers and if you can converse in both languages, then you may very well have a great edge over your competitors.

Question from Tim O'Keath:  Are we becoming more aware of the needs of our aging population?
Answer:  Tim, I believe so.  Many companies and governments appear to be on board when it comes to understanding the needs of our seniors and retirees and our aging baby boomers.  You will find that as time goes on, the needs and demands of our aging population are going to play more and more of a prominent role in the market plans of both governments and companies.  The national attitude is only bound to shift towards all that surrounds our aging population.  Please give a read to my reference below.

Question from Bridget Gerber:  Donna, what is your take on the benefits of taking pills to combat depression?
Answer:  Bridget, I am not going to get into a discussion on this subject because I do not feel qualified to respond.  However, I have found an article which I feel will help to answer your question.  Hope it helps.

Question from Eric Sharner:  Do you think that aging baby boomers have something to contribute when it comes to passing on their knowledge and experience?
Answer:  Eric, Definitely so.  At least, I hope so.  The aging baby boomers were the kids of the 60s who wanted to change the world, and I truly believe that they will be given a second chance to do so now, as they ride off into the sunset of retirement.  I hope that my reference below backs up my statement.  Aging baby boomers have a lot to pass on to the younger generation.  Experience wise, skills wise, and knowledge wise.  We must not waste their unlimited resources.

Question from Hannah Bajinzky:  Donna, what are your thoughts on the opinion that anxiety has taken over our lives?
Answer:  Hannah,  I do believe that anxiety has become more and more of a main stay in our lives.  The 21st century has brought us a lot of new challenges, new technology, and many new headaches and all of this is being attributed to having and causing more anxiety in our lives.  Maybe my reference below will help to shed some more light on this topic.  My personal answer to combating anxiety is to stay positive and take things as they come.  Don't try to force the pace.  Just ride with the flow as they say.

Question from Chelsea Bernstein:  I am not sure what type of career I can hope for if I study languages at college.  Do you have any suggestions?
Answer:  Chelsea, I truly believe that anyone who decides to choose languages as a career will be very pleasantly surprised when they enter the job market.  Languages is becoming more and more important to such things as global trade and global expansion.  I believe that the sky can be the limit for anyone who wants to go into the study of foreign languages and in the coming years you may very well see that more companies will be seeking foreign language professionals.  Please give a read to my reference below.  I was very excited when I read this article.

Question from Heather Lavine:  Donna, do you really think that the problem of depression is as serious as they are making it out to be?
Answer:  Heather,  Very much so.  The majority of mental experts right here in America are continually warning us about the growing stranglehold that depression is weaving around our society and if you would like further evidence, then please read the reference that I have provided for you below.  It is really a very serious situation that needs all of us to come together and fight as a society.

Question from Mark McKenzie:  Are there any hints that you can give me for a sector that may be expected to grow  for the near future?
Answer:  Mark,  Yes.  One of my favorites is the managed services and software sector.  With more and more small businesses coming online being buoyed by governments that are only too anxious to see the rapid development of the small business economy, I believe that this sector has every right to look forward to a very bright future.  This is not only happening here in America but also in several other countries as well.  In addition, there are several medium sized companies and even some large corporations that are also turning to the managed services and software sector for assistance and support.  They are out sourcing more and more to this sector.  I hope that my reference below gives you some more insight into this topic.

I am out of time for this week but I must not forget to leave you with my tip of the week.
When you next go to choose your long distance company, be sure to read the fine print.  Many of them are constantly telling you that for precious few cents a minute you can call anywhere in the world.  What they are not telling you that if you only speak for one minute, the charge is a big fat dollar or that for the first minute of a call the charge is also a big fat dollar. 
At the business desk, I am Donna J Jodhan wishing you a terrific day.

A booming trend for you to discover

Good day everyone!  I'm Jeff N Marquis at the business desk.
Well, we are now in the midst of a very interesting trend.  One where we have a very booming market of very influencial consumers, where demand is real, and where demand is way ahead of supply.  We also have consumers who are just dying to know as much as they can in order to make important decisions that will affect the rest of their lives after they retire and we have practically hundreds of thousands of companies that are out there searching for the products and services that they can offer to this very liquid market. 
A mad house you say?  Just maybe but it does not have to be like this.  If you take a few minutes to read our news of this day you will see what I am getting at.

Time to start paying attention to making those important decisions

Hey there!  I'm Alix Shadonnay at the business desk.
Another week in the books and time for you to spend a quiet weekend with your family.  Or is it going to be a quiet weekend for you?
Are you planning to enjoy your weekend or are you going to spend it worrying about things which you feel are just out of your reach or control?  Things like making the decision to change jobs, companies, or careers?  Or something as big as deciding to open up your own business?
Are you feeling stymied about everything and don't quite know where to turn?
We don't have the magic solution for you but what we have is a compiled list of very important headlines that may just help you to forget your inhibitions.  A powerful list of ideas and suggestions to help you relax a bit more and look at things with a clear head.
This weekend, please take a few minutes to review our list.
 
Before I leave you, here are our Amazon picks of the week.
  The Truth Twisters: A Novelplus
By Josh McDowell
This is a book with very interesting reading.  Extremely insightful and very attention-grabbing.  It is a novel, but one that goes far beyond the bounds of being a novel.
 
The deceivers
By Josh McDowell
We chose a second book by this particular author because this book is also very insightful and for a novel it really stretches the reader's mind and imagination. 
Both books are must reading for those of you who really want to learn and experience.
At the business desk, I'm Alix Shadonnay wishing you a great weekend.

The importance of listening to the demands of your feelings

Good morning!  I'm Kerry J Harrison at the business desk.
When is the last time you listened to your mind and soul?  No, not a joke.  I will ask this question in a clearer manner.  When is the last time you paid attention to your feelings?  Maybe today, yesterday, last week, last month, or maybe a very long time ago?  So long ago that you don't even remember?
Well, according to the experts, it's one of our biggest problems.  Not only do we not listen to others, we are no longer listening to ourselves and this is why the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression are rising so rapidly in America. 
we need to start paying attention to ourselves.  Listen more to ourselves and understand ourselves, our feelings and the warning signs that tell us that we need some help and support when the going gets tough.
Let us help you!  Take a few minutes and read some of our headlines below.  Trust me, you owe it to yourself.
At the business desk, I'm Kerry J Harrison wishing you a great day.

Important answers to consumers concerns

Top of the morning to you out there!  I'm Donna J Jodhan at the business desk.
I can't believe that it is almost the end of July.  Where has this month gone to?
Well, it's that time again for me to open up our e-bag and this week I have a lot of questions to answer but before I start I would again like to thank those of you who took the time to provide us with your feedback.  We can only get better through you and with you.
 

Question from Alex Summerfield:  We are always hearing about the state of our mental health in America, but what about what's going on in Britain and Europe?
Answer:  Alex, I don't think that things are any better off in Britain and Europe or even anywhere else.  I recently found an article that talks about a mental crisis going on in Britain and this particular article talks about the banking industry.  Truth be told, stress, anxiety, and depression seem to be on the rise everywhere you look and is not just an American problem.  It is a global problem and several global governments are very concerned.  Please check out my reference below.

Question from Frank Delpina:  I know that identity theft has been a great concern for many years now but what can seniors do in order to protect themselves from it?
Answer:  Frank, the first thing that seniors can do in order to protect themselves is for them to recognize that identity theft is indeed a real threat and in addition, it appears that more and more identity thieves are targeting seniors.  So with this in mind, I have chosen an article for you to read.  Please see below.

Question from Eva Cole:  Donna, do you think that parents are responsible for passing on feelings of anxiety to their kids?
Answer:  Eva, I would be the first to tell you that I am not qualified to offer an expert response so I am going to direct you to an article below that I recently found on the Internet.  I hope that this helps.

Question from Gary Bolder:  I get really confused when it comes to protecting my home computer system.  What can you tell me?
Answer:  Gary, I think that I may have the perfect article for you to read.  Of course, there are so many things that you can do but to start with, read my reference below and after this, you should go shopping for some good anti virus protection software and if you have anymore questions after this, then you can write to us again.

Question from Nina Persello:  How easy do you think is it for someone to steal your username and password?
Answer:  Nina, easier than you think.  You may feel that if you're the only one that knows your username and password, it's enough to protect you.  Wrong!  A very false sense of security!  Please read the article below and you'll see how easy it is.

Question from Paula Gross:  My mom recently asked me how could she go about protecting herself from identity theft.  I wasn't sure what to say so here I am.  What should seniors be watching for when it comes to identity theft?
Answer:  Paula,  One of the most common types of identity thefts presently facing seniors is medical identity theft.  Medical identity theft is on the rise these days and is especially being directed against seniors.  Please read my reference below and share it with your mom.  The experts are beginning to hint that we should be paying more attention to medical identity theft against seniors.  It appears that identity thieves feel that this type of identity theft may be one of the easiest to carry out at the present time because seniors along with the disabled are so vulnerable.

Question from Justin Marchandise:  My question is this!  My parents and friends are constantly bugging me about spending too much time on the Internet.  They say that I am socially disabled and that I could end up being a recluse.  Is this true?
Answer:  Justin,  the experts are constantly talking about Internet addiction.  I am not really qualified to give you an answer but I have managed to find an article that talks about your concerns.  Please give a read to this one.  I would venture to say that I am not too keen on anyone spending too many hours on the Internet.  I do believe that we can sure improve our social skills with face to face and phone chat contact.

Question from Clair Paxton:  Donna, I saw your comments last week on retirees and seniors being more active and healthy than they were some years ago.  Do you really think that this is true?
Answer:  Clair,  This seems to be the case.  The seniors and retirees of today are more affluent, more active, and more daring.  They are traveling more, playing more sports, and seeking services and activities that will keep them healthy and active for a longer time.  I think that the article below will back up my comments.

Question from Josh Bloomberg:  How do you know if/when you are depressed?
Answer:  Josh, Depression manifests itself in many ways.  The signs that are most familiar to me are:  Anxiety, sleeping more than normal, not enough sleep, over eating, not eating enough, social withdrawal, sadness, loneliness, and unhappiness.  I think that the article that I have found for you will shed more light on the picture.
