Track planes on http://www.flightradar24.com

Great link I'll use that when my eldest daughter flies back from Rhodes next Weds - I used the airport's own Arrival/ Departure online boards to follow her flight out there this week (parents will understand) but the one for Rhodes airport doesn't seem to want to update British carriers, its a bit alarming when you're logging on seven hours after they left the UK to see a "Not Arrived" message against their flight, only slightly re-assuring when you realise that all the UK charter operators have the same status

In her fantastic book Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform the Way We Live, Work, and Learn, Cathy Davidson writes,

“By one estimate, 65 percent of children entering grade school this year will end up working in careers that haven’t even been invented yet.” (p. 18)

Made up statistic alert!
