The 4 Deadliest Jobs Any Man Can Have That Are Not Illegal. (career, risks, future, planning, success, life)

dangerous jobs

You pretty much expect to get shot to death if you’re dealing drugs, but there are also a number of the deadliest jobs any man can have that are not illegal. You might expect police officer, fire fighter and skyscraper window washer to make the deadliest cut, but there are other jobs out there that actually have a higher rate of fatality. An average of twelve people die on the job every day, according the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and that’s not counting the ones who perish from absolute cubicle boredom. These are legal jobs that get you out and about on mini-adventures. Going for such a deadly job could really be a turn-on for the ladies, although you might not be around very long to enjoy their sweet attention.

Crab catchers and their ilk. We’re not talking crab catching along the lines of being a gigolo and going for every venereal disease—although that, too, could be one of the dealiest jobs—but guys who make living catching fish. Drowning, being trapped in fishing nets, and getting clawed in the eyeball are just some of the dangers that gives this job a fatality rate of 116 per 100,000 workers, according to CNBC.com.

loggers

Loggers. Being like Paul Bunyan with his giant ox might get you giddy with excitement, but it could instead land you in an early grave. Who would take care of your ox? Logging qualifies as one of the deadliest jobs thanks to heavy equipment, heavier falling trees and crappy weather. Their fatality rate ranks at nearly 92 per 100,000 Bunyan wanna-bes.

rescue helicopter

Pilots. Although you get to fly high in the friendly skies, you also run the high risk of crashing down into the not-so-friendly cold, hard earth. The deadliest pilot jobs are those on rescue helicopters and experimental planes—especially when the experiments fail. Crop dusting pilots also run the risk of death thanks to the billowing blankets of toxic chemicals in which they play. Pilots get a fatality rate of nearly 71 per 100,000.

Amazing Human Baby: Lu Hao - The 3 year old who weighs 132lbs and still growing...

At 132lbs, Lu Hao is already five times the size of a normal child his age. The three-year-old toddler from China eats a staggering three bowls of rice when he sits down for a family meal. When Lu Hao was born he weighed just 2.6kg (5.7 lbs), however, from the time he was three months old he began to gain weight rapidly.

'His appetite is so good that for a meal he can eat three big bowls of rice, even larger than I and his mother,' said Hao's father Lu Yuncheng. Since Hao was one-year-old his parents have tried to keep a careful eye on his diet. However, Hao's mother Chen Yuan comments: 'We have to let him be as if we don't feed him he will cry non-stop'.

No matter how hard the family restricts Hao's diet and pushes him to move more the toddler has still managed to put on 10kg (22 lbs) in the past year. Now Chen Yuan is unable to pick her son up. 'In both of our families, there was no such giant person,' said father Yuncheng.

Hao hates walking and each day his mother takes him to kindergarten on a motorcycle. 'He is quite happy that I could ride him to kindergarten instead of walking him there,' said Yuan.

Hao has many toys at home but his favourite is Superman because, he says, 'Superman can fly and beat bad men!' When asked is he would like to fly like Superman Hao giggles and replies: 'No. I am too fat'.

To push Hao to do more sports, the family installed a basketball hoop in the yard and often take him to swim in a local river. But the exercise just makes him hungrier and results in him putting on more weight.

'We now worry the most about his health. As if he continues to grow at this rate his heart could fail,' said Yuan. They also worry that when he gets older and more aware of his weight Hao will be bullied.

'Our biggest hope is one day Hao could get slim,' said Chen.

iPad 3 expected to hit the market in March 2012 (Apple, iOS, iPhone, 4S, 5, unlock, jailbreak, network, GSM)

The rumors are springing up for Apple’s iPad 3 that is supposed to arrive in March this year. Some are saying that may be, in the next two weeks, iPad3 will be hitting the shelves.

If we compare it to Apple’s earlier, releases it would perfectly fit as first iPad model came in April 2012 and iPad 2 arrived in the last week of March.

Bloomberg Report

According to the report of Bloomberg, “Apple iPad3 will be incorporating the HD screen, and the small pixels will give the image a printed material look.” A quad-core chip will increase efficiency and speed with 4G LTE support.

Report also stated that LTE is brought for the Apple iPad gadget before the iPhone as latest power technology and a bigger battery support the tablet. Bloomberg obtained this report from the three different sources related with the product.

Update for Production

The report has also revealed that Apple has already started the production of these gadgets at the Asian partners manufacturing units, as Foxconn in china is running the whole 24 hours a day.

The iPad launched earlier has been a massive hit generating more than $25 billion as sales revenue. Many companies tried to come up to the level of iPad but failed; however, Cupertino is hoping that the device will become the favorite choice of consumers.

Rumors are also saying that may be iPad 3 will not be good enough to reach the target, as iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S failed to do so. The time is the only answer for all these rumors.
