Ways
to Promote Yourself Without Bragging (by C.J.
Hayden, MCC)
There are a host of very dignified and
appropriate ways to let a wider audience know how good you are without ever
saying so. Here are a few you might try.
1. Writing articles - Putting your
expertise in writing and sharing it with publications your audience reads is a
powerful -- and very professional -- way to let more people know about your
unique talents. Submit your articles to both print publications and web sites
that serve your niche and watch your visibility grow.
2. Public speaking - Appearing as a speaker
allows you to broadcast your expertise with three different audiences -- the
people who attend your talk, the people who are invited by the sponsoring
organization but can't attend, and the people you tell about it before and
after.
3. Media interviews - Being interviewed by
magazines, newspapers, or on radio and television can spread the word quickly
about your capabilities. Landing interviews is not that hard to do if you
remember to start small. Begin by approaching easy targets like association
newsletters, neighborhood newspapers, and local cable programs or talk radio.
4. Testimonials - Whenever you do a good
job for a client, ask them to write you a simple thank you note describing what
you did to make them happy. Then make their words available on your web site,
brochure, or other marketing materials. Let them tell others about your value,
and you won't have to say it yourself.
5. Building a portfolio - It's not just
artists that should capture their best work to show off in a portfolio. You can
collect photos, examples, and other evidence of your accomplishments and
display them on your web site, in a marketing kit, or with a PowerPoint
presentation. You don't have to sell people on your abilities when they are
seeing for themselves what you can do.

The safest seats are at the back of the plane
(By Peter Weber |
July 9, 2013)
It hasn't been a
good week for airlines. Or for airline passengers. A day after Asiana Airlines
Flight 214 crashed at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, killing
two people and injuring 180 others.
The safest seats are (usually) at the back of the
plane
The rear seats of
a commercial jetliner are annoying — cramped, near the lavatory, and you're the
last one off the plane. But according to a 2007 Popular Mechanics analysis,
those seats are also statistically the safest ones on the plane. The magazine
studied every commercial-airline crash since 1973, looking at who died and
where they were sitting. In 11 of the 20 crashes, rear-seat passengers fared
much better; in five, the front-seat passengers had better luck; three were
tossups; and the fourth had no seating data.
In all,
back-seaters had a 40 percent better chance of surviving a crash, Popular
Mechanics found. A 2012 experiment — researchers crashed a Boeing 727 carrying
camera-equipped crash-test dummies into the Mexican desert — backed that up,
says the Los Angeles Times' Paul Whitefield. Every first-class passenger would
have died, while 78 percent of passengers in the rear of the plane would have
survived.
You have about 90 seconds to exit a burning airplane
That minute and a
half is called "the golden time," says the site How Stuff Works,
because people who get out of a downed aircraft in that period have the
greatest chance of survival. In those 90 seconds, a burning "airplane
cabin can reach temperatures that will melt human skin," says foXnoMad's
Polat. You're also better off wearing cotton or other non-synthetic —
non-melting — clothes, and keeping your shoes on.
A related point is
the "five-row rule," airplane-crash survival expert Ben Sherwood
tells TIME. British academic Ed Galea studied more than 100 plane crashes and
found that "survivors usually move an average of five rows before they can
get off a burning aircraft. That's the cutoff," Sherwood adds. If you're
sitting more than five rows away from an exit row — any exit row — your chances
of surviving the crash are "greatly reduced."
(Your chances of
dying in a plane crash are about 11 million to 1.)
