			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Global Positioning System is a navigational aid, funded and controlled by the U.S.<br />
 Department of Defense. Since GPS systems utilize 24 satellites that orbit the earth<br />
 in a grid pattern, there are always six to eight satellites that are able to<br />
 communicate with any given position on earth at any given time. What this does is<br />
 give the average consumer the power to find any place on earth at any time day or<br />
 night. Just think of the benefits this provides for a wide variety of the public.</p>
<p>Some of the benefits we might receive from GPS are:</p>
<p><B>Fuel economy:</B> If you want to maximize your fuel economy you&#8217;ll need a good<br />
 GPS system. Saving money at the pump as well as wear and tear on your vehicle<br />
 should be one of the main reasons why you would want a good GPS system in your<br />
 vehicle. Accurate driving directions not only will save you time in your daily<br />
 travels, but also will save you substantial gas money when travelling from place<br />
 to place. This is especially important for delivery and courier services.</p>
<p><B>Travel directions:</B> Utilizing a GPS system will give you accurate directions<br />
 for travel. Weather you are travelling locally, across country, or globally, you will<br />
 get accurate direction and constant monitoring of your current position. I wouldn&#8217;t<br />
 think of taking another family vacation without a GPS system in my vehicle.</p>
<p><B>Recreation:</B> Weather you are camping, or hiking, a hand held GPS unit will<br />
 benefit you. I can&#8217;t imagine going camping in the middle of the woods and not<br />
 being able to find my way out. The news is filled with daily reports of people<br />
 (or kids) that go hiking in the woods or the desert, and can&#8217;t find their way back<br />
 home or to their campsite. A GPS unit is the answer for these people.</p>
<p><B>Maritime:</B> If you have ever watched one of the popular fishing shows on T.V.,<br />
 or are a fisherman or sailor yourself, then you know how a GPS unit will benefit you.<br />
 Getting lost at sea or on a large lake would not be fun. The other side of the coin<br />
 is the fisherman, say there is a great hotspot on any given lake in the world, that<br />
 specific spot can be saved in your GPS system and found again at any time. This<br />
 could be beneficial to the recreational or professional fisherman.</p>
<p><B>Tracking:</B> If you run a courier business, rental business, or just plain delivery<br />
 service, and need to keep track of several vehicles, then GPS is what you need. Keeping<br />
 track of your vehicles will keep your overhead down. The other end of tracking is keeping<br />
 track of a family member or child, a GPS tracking system will aid in your efforts.</p>
<div style="float: right; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: white; background-color: white"></div>
<p>I have over 25 years of automotive repair experience. I know quite alot about everything that<br />
 has to do with your auto. I am ASE certified as well as GM certified. I am originally from<br />
 Wisconsin, born and raised, lived there for 38 years. I&#8217;ve spent many years in the summer-humid<br />
 /winter-icy/snowy climate and have dealt with not only repair conditions there but also how to<br />
 drive properly in those conditions. Fuel economy is probably the most important element to saving<br />
 money today, and how you drive or how your vehicle performs plays a big part in that. I now have<br />
 lived in Phoenix for the past 6 years, in the middle of the desert where it reaches up to 115<br />
 degrees on a summer day. I&#8217;ve seen it all as far as vehicle maintenance and care goes and can<br />
 help with any problem by email or by visiting my website at <a href="http://www.your-auto-repair-help.com/gps.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.your-auto-repair-help.com/gps.html</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A latest research by comScore has brought forth the market shares of different smarthphone manufacturers in the country. Due to massive media attention that is being enjoyed by iPhone, many people consider Apple as having the largest market share. However, Blackberry from Research in Motion has left Apple and many other mobile manufacturers behind.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The methodology followed by the research was to allocate ranks to different <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuEerMCAlx0">smartphone </a>manufacturers depending on the market share enjoyed by each of them. The largest market share belongs to Blackberry that has close to 42% share. The second largest share is enjoyed by Apple that has close to 25% of the share of the market.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The statistics from the last few months show that the share of Palm and Microsoft has been decreasing while that of Blackberry has been growing. Microsoft has been worst affected. The share of <a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/android/">Android from Google</a> has grown by almost 150%, but its total share is still just 9% of the whole market and it has huge ground to cover.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The smartphone industry of the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region> is large and is on the rise. It now boasts of more than 45 million smarthphone owners, which marks more than 20% increase from the number of owners in previous three months. This implies that all smartphone manufacturers would generate massive amount of money, including those who just have a very small part of the total pie.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For more information on access to the mobile internet, or the mobile broadband providers, look at broadbandgenie.co.uk. I found some great <a href="http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/mobilebroadband/review/orange-broadband">Orange mobile broadband deals</a>; it is worth a look at the website for their comparative table of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> broadband providers, which includes an analysis of their products and services.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> nearly 270,000 low income families are all set to receive free laptops and broadband connections. This new scheme is the brainchild of Prime Minister Gordon Brown who first announced the proposals in September 2008. After two successful trials in February 2009 this scheme is all set to be implemented now. It is interesting to note that Mr. Brown had expressed his intention of implementing such a plan as a chancellor back in 1999.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This scheme is being termed the <a href="http://www.homeaccess.org.uk/">Home Access</a> initiative and a budget of &#163;300m has been earmarked for the scheme. Under this plan 270,000 low income families will be selected and each family will be provided with a laptop and broadband connection. Both these will be funded by the government, but the paid internet connection will only be valid for a year. If the family decides to continue the internet connection service after a year, they can do so by paying the renewal charges.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The government has already asked people to apply for the grant and hopes to complete the procedure by issuing the machines by 2011. While deciding on the families who will benefit from this scheme the government will not give any preference to the children already identified as hailing from low income groups by way of qualifying for the free mid-day meals in their schools. The government hopes that this scheme will be a positive step towards building a digital society.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you want to spend less ringing overseas? Over a million of you spend more than necessary on overseas calls daily. People are largely unaware that there is an easy way to save money on these calls you can save a lot of money with an <a href="http://www.truphone.com/internet-phone/">internet phone</a>. Mobile VoIP calls provide callers with a fantastic service, superb sound quality, and extremely low prices. Mobile VoIP works in such a way that callers can get very cheap calls worldwide. You no longer have to be subjected to the extortionate rates cell phone operators charge.</p>
<p>One of the most popular mobile VoIP providers is Truphone who offer a completely free and simple to use application. This enables you to re-direct calls over the web from your mobile phone, allowing you to make substantial savings on calls from your mobile. The reason being, is that by circumventing the standard mobile phone network you are no longer subject to the high charges you normally incur.</p>
<p>Voice over Internet Protocol has gained world-wide acceptance, and competition is increasing benchmark standards for VoIP service providers. The improved performance and high level of competition in the market place contributes to the development of the unified communication network system that businesses need to excel and survive.</p>
<p>People no longer needto pay huge sums of money to call their colleagues and acquaintances overseas. Large incumbent telecoms companies attract consumers in by explaining to them that they don&#8217;t have another choice but that is wrong. Consumers have a wealth of alternatives! In actuality the majority of mobile VoIP providers are likely to be even more reliable than your provider right now.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Six critical steps to prepare for a Job Fair]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Standing out at a Career Fair can make a difference in your job hunt.  Career Fairs are starting to pick up, and a major job search company is running some nice ones, called Targeted Job Fairs.  At a SF Bay Area Career Fair in early 2010, 10 companies as showing up, and a major job search company has 82 job fairs scheduled for 2010 across the United States. </p>
<p><strong>How do you compete at a Job Faire? </strong>The contention can be considerable, but you can help yourself leap out from the crowd with early preparation.  At <a href="http://www.aa-careers.com/">AA-Careers</a>, we have a straight-forward step-by-step process to prepare.    Planning to go?  Here&rsquo;s how to prepare: </p>
<p><strong>First</strong>, research the companies that are going and pick your targets.  Use the web to research the organizations that are there beforehand.  Go to their sites and see if they have their jobs listed.  Pick a sound number to target, and get ready to spend an hour or more researching each one.  It&rsquo;s hard to do more than 9 in a day, and four or five is a much more reasonable target.  For each company, you want to know: recent news, key product lines, and contacts you know.  Try to see if you know anyone at the target companies.  You will end up with with a page or two of research for each company/job.  </p>
<p><strong>Second</strong>, if there are job openings on the web, read them to see what the hiring department is looking for.  Create a mapping of your achievements and skills to the prerequisites of the job. Make the terminology match. If the hiring company calls customers &quot;clients&quot;, your resume should do the same thing. The accomplishments should be written in the style of the hiring organization. </p>
<p><strong>Third</strong>, create a &lsquo;thumbnail sales pitch&rsquo; for each potential organization/position combination.  Write down a ninety second &lsquo;thumbnail&rsquo; that you can repeat out loud depicting why you are a key prospect for that job.  You&rsquo;ll use this in your resume and when you meet the team from the company at the job kiosk. </p>
<p><strong>Fourth</strong>, modify your resume for each opportunity.  The objective on your resume should exactly match the job you&rsquo;re targeting.  The executive summary should be a written form of your &ldquo;mini sales pitch&rdquo; for the job.  Then choose the achievements and skills that most clearly match the job prerequisites.  Especially at a Job Faire, the purpose of your resume is a sales tool for you &ndash; to get you on-site job interviews.  It should be obvious to see that you&#8217;re a match based on your resume. </p>
<p><strong>Fifth</strong>, dress and prepare as if you&rsquo;re doing on-site interviews.  Dress well and be well groomed. Don&#8217;t over do-it (this isn&#8217;t a date!) and don&#8217;t underdress (no jeans or t-shirts, no matter how much you paid for them). Avoid strong cologne or perfume.</p>
<p><strong>Finally</strong>, rehearse your &lsquo;mini-sales-pitch&rsquo;.  Collect your research and the resume for each position &#8211; bring a couple of copies for each &ndash; and put each in a intelligibly labeled folder.  Keep them in a lightweight briefcase or folio. </p>
<p>Remember to smile, and good hunting! </p>

		<description><![CDATA[The web can either help or hurt your job search - it's up to you.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A modern job hunting campaign is by nature quite complicated.  While the internet has offered a variety of new channels, it also creates increased competition for choice  jobs and potential challenges for job hunters.</p>
<p>Job search needs to be thought of as a personalized, very directed marketing process where <b>you</b> are the product.  Your <strong>resume is an ad</strong>.  Your extended <strong>network of associates is your source for information and opportunities</strong>.</p>
<p>So where does the web fit in?  At <a href="http://www.aa-careers.com">AA-Careers</a>, we just <em>posted a job on a popular job board and got <strong>over 650 applications in a week</strong></em>.   For one opening.  That&rsquo;s increased competition for jobs.</p>
<p>Had the right person gotten ahold of us before we placed the ad, they could have secured the position before getting all that competition.  How?   By knowing someone at our office who became aware of the job prior to posting.  Everyone knew of the job for at least 9 days before it was posted.   Who in your network might know of a job that&rsquo;s coming available soon?</p>
<p>Be careful to check your application materials thoroughly before submitting them. When we did an analysis of the 650 resumes, we found a large number of errors. 63% of the applicants were easily eliminated with a fast triage process. How? The same way any HR professional would. By rejecting resumes where the objective didn&#8217;t match our job posting. By rejecting candidates whose cover letters gave us grounds not to hire them, like &quot;I know I&#8217;m overqualified but I really need a job&quot;. By eliminating prospects whose documents that didn&#8217;t open properly. And by rejecting job hunters who didn&#8217;t trouble to spell check their cover letter and/or resume. </p>
<p>So the good news is that job boards give you a sense of what companies are hiring, and for what kinds of jobs.   But once those jobs are posted, the competition is intense.  You can still try, if you have a well written resume, designed to appeal directly and clearly to the recruiter.  And if you have practiced interviewing &ndash; so you don&rsquo;t stumble at a critical point.</p>
<p>Another thing to be aware of is how easily you can be investigated on the net.  As we Googled several candidates, we ran into some MySpace comments that were in questionable taste.  Nothing illegal, but enough to swing our thoughts about who to hire. </p>
<p><strong>AA-Careers provides a encompassing set of services for Bay Area job seekers, providing our clients a personal career consultant, a managed  job hunting campaign, modern tools like a personal website, video, highly targeted resume, and much more</strong>.  Let us know if we can help you.</p>
<p>Be careful out there, and good hunting!</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">Most of the times, subscribers of mobile broadband are not able to take advantage of the mobile broadband speeds that are usually promised to them by broadband service providers. As a result, subscribers do not really believe that claims about high-speed broadband are true. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p></P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">However, the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (<SPAN style="COLOR: lime"><A href="http://www.gsacom.com/index.php4">GSA</A></SPAN>) declared a few months back that the status is not as bad as it is considered, as the baseline speed for mobile broadband worldwide is 7.2Mb. All over the world, a large section commercial HSPA networks provide broadband speeds of 7.2Mb or above during peak times. The GSA also said that most mobile devices are capable of supporting this speed. </P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">This finding has encouraged people to look for the future baseline speed. Therefore, the GSA conducted another study to see what the people in the industry consider the future of broadband speed to be, especially in the light of HSPA+, which is a new and improved broadband technology that is about to be launched soon. The report, called &#8216;Mobile Broadband &#8211; The Next Baseline&#8217;, which came after this research spanning ten weeks, suggested that most of the people believe that the speed after one year would come up to 21Mb.</P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"></SPAN> </P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">As this speed has been discussed a lot in the last few months, it is not surprising that people are looking forward to it. However, many have argued that speed is only one aspect of the quality of service and not the complete measure of it. Thus, while evaluating as to how good a service is, many factors other than speed ought to be taken into account.</P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">When choosing mobile broadband it is worth taking the time to look at all the plans offered by the various operators, I found some excellent <SPAN style="COLOR: red"><A href="http://mobile.broadbandgenie.co.uk/3g-broadband/pay-as-you-go">mobile broadband pay as you go</A> </SPAN>offers<SPAN style="COLOR: red"> </SPAN>at Mobile Broadband Genie.
