Planning out your career is really important in order to progress to certain professional levels in your life. The following tips will most definitely help to plan your career.

Always Learn
Everything about our lives changes; so do careers. The only way you can make the most of your career, is by making sure you are one step ahead of your colleagues and that you are open to learning and constantly upgrading your skills. Remember, do not limit yourself to just gaining formal educational qualifications which look good only on paper.

Excel in your current job
In your current job, are you expending your full skill set and energy? Try and think of ways you can do your current job better. If you are not ready to look at yourself critically, there is no better way to improve your game. You are your best critic. Think of what you do critically, and stop making excuses for yourself.

Build your Network
Contacts are very important in the business world. A good network of contacts is what will set you apart from the rest. This can be especially useful if you are planning to move to a better job, as most organizations have ceased to advertise for vacancies, and instead rely on their own employees and their contacts to recruit people, instead of advertising in the newspapers.

Updated resume
Your resume must always be updated, as you never know when a good career opportunity comes your way. If your resume is prepared in advance, this makes it easier for your to apply for a job instead of running around at the last minute.

Laptop computers have been implicated in the bizarre case of Northwest Flight 188, which last week overshot its destination by 150 miles before turning back to the airport at which it was supposed to land. It turns out that the laptop was used in the cockpit and is against the rules and Northwest says that they will soon be terminated for their transgressions pending the outcome of the investigation.

Details of the issue are still elusive and many are asking the question “is being distracted by a laptop in the cockpit worse than falling asleep at the controls?” which incidentally is the allegation leveled against pilots when the news first came to light. Although pilots and drivers of commercial vehicles – especially passenger carriers, should dedicate all their attention to the job at hand; although mishaps due to lack of concentration and technology have happened in the recent past as well. Related incidents include the train engineer whose irresponsible actions resulted in the deaths of 25 people. Perhaps this calls for action that bans electronics in the hands of professionals who operate heavy machinery or operate commercial passenger transportation vehicles.
There is some speculation that the pilots were using the laptops to discuss the airline crew flight scheduling procedure. However, it is not certain what exactly they were doing and whether they had internet access of any kind at the time. Details continue to emerge as the FAA and airlines gird themselves for a backlash and tougher rules likely to come down the pike. For their trouble, the travelers on the plane are receiving $500 travel vouchers “to compensate them for their inconvenience.

Researchers at Gartner are predicting that Google’s android mobile OS could overtake the iPhone’s in just over 2 years. Android is poised to leapfrog the iPhone’s OS in to the number two spot by 2012. This means that the iPhone will be at number 3, where it right now, behind Blackberry and Nokia’s Symbian. Gartner researchers believe that by the year 2012 RIM’s software would have lost 7 percent of their market share placing them at fifth place, even behind Windows Mobile. Android, meanwhile, will get a 12.9 percent boost to become the number 2 smartphone platform in the world, with Symbian still safe in the number 1 spot, even though its market share is a dwindling 39 percent of the global market.

Google’s open source Android platform, which boasts one of the finest touchscreen interfaces available, iPhone included, came out slow in fall 2008 with the solid, if uninspiring T-Mobile G1. Although nothing else happened with regard to Android, they finally launched a follow up with the HTC myTouch3G. The Android platform soon became popular and many US service providers including T-mobile, Verizon and Sprint started launching handsets featuring the platform. Altogether, there have been five Android based devices launched in the past few months and two or maybe even more handsets coming out before the end of 2009. However, as the current stats stand, iPhone has 10.8 percent of the market and Android a mere 1.6 percent. But, since Apple is the only one making the iPhone and Android being available to anyone who wants to use it, which means that over the next few years Android has a big chance of overtaking the iPhone.

If you’re a veterinarian or veterinary assistant and would like to spend more of your time helping animals in need, you can volunteer for the Animal Humane Society. The Animal Humane Society is always seeking caring and compassionate volunteers that can assist the Veterinary Services staff with medications, vaccinations and in the surgery areas.

Whether you’re a vet assistant or have years of volunteering experience, the Animal Humane Society can use your help.

Exam volunteers can help with the physical examination process by offering restraint and diversion. Requirements for exam volunteers include basic computer operations, data entry skills and a willingness to work in close association with a variety of animals.

This program allows volunteers to work with dogs, cats or small mammals on the adoption floor.

Volunteering your time and skills for the Animal Humane Society can be rewarding in many ways. Students enrolled in veterinary assistant school can volunteer to help the Animal Humane Society in order to satisfy their mandatory volunteer requirements. Volunteers must commit to a minimum of one year of volunteering at least twice per month. Shifts are typically two to four hours, depending on the assignment. Volunteers must be a minimum of 16 years of age. Students enrolled in veterinary assistant schools who are interested in volunteering can contact the Animal Humane Society for more information.

Instead of sending all of those plastic containers off the landfill, one company is using them to create equipment for a new playground in Trumbull, Connecticut, reports the Connecticut Post. Sun Products and more than 150 volunteers will be building a sustainable playground on October 30 at the Trumbull Nature and Arts Center using recycled plastic materials.

The playground equipment is made from the equivalent of 50,000 HDPE #2 clear plastic containers. According to the article, the project is designed to be a learning experience for children at the town’s six public elementary schools and its Early Childhood Education Center. Students are encouraged to bring in clean #2 plastic containers for recycling.

“Sustainability is a priority reflected in all we do to preserve our beautiful and healthy community,” said Raymond Baldwin, Trumbull first selectman in a prepared statement. “The Full Circle Playground represents a true public-private partnership based on a shared commitment to sustainability and the future of our town.”
