from Peter Shankman blog

Paying any Attention to your OFFLINE
Brand??<http://shankman.com/paying-any-attention-to-your-offline-brand/>

Done anything to help your offline brand lately?

We�re all talking about ways to improve our online brand. Here are five ways
to improve your *offline* brand, as well. Remember � the two are connected.

5) *Meet three new people a day, offline.* Learn how to talk to people.
Introduce yourself to people in your office, at a party, at a reception Make
the connection. When we meet people, the majority of us listen just long
enough to find an entry point for us to talk about ourselves. (I�m guilty of
this, as well.) A better thing to do, however, is to listen � actually
listen � to the other person, and make neural connections in your brain.
They�re huge runners? Do you know someone else who�s a huge runner, that you
can introduce them to later? That makes you a connector, and allows you to
play the role of �go-to� guy. Best thing in the world to be considered, is a
go-to guy. Why? Go-to guys get the latest info, the largest clients, and the
biggest contracts. They�re dependable, they�re reliable. They�re the ones
people turn to first. Be a go-to guy, and start by meeting three new people
a day, offline.

4) *How do you look?* I won�t rewrite the post on
this<http://shankman.com/clothing-helps-make-the-style-style-helps-makes-your-brand/>I
wrote last week, but people will always be more inclined to meet you,
talk
to you, and recommend you if you just look good. I don�t mean wear a tie
everywhere you go, just look �put together.� Shave. Shower. No stains on
your shirt. No shirts worn for more than a day at a time. Invest in a
quality pair of jeans. Simple things. Look the part, get more meetings,
close more deals. Does this make the world a shallow place to be? Probably.
Deal with it. It is what it is.

3) *How do you speak*? How do you write? I often tell the story of the girl
who sent me a resume looking for a job at HARO. She went to Harvard. The
last line of her cover letter said this: �Again, Mr. Shankman, I look
forward to the opportunity to work 4U.� Really? Let me clear this up: THAT
IS NEVER OK. I don�t care how you talk to me once I hire you � I text too.
But to put that in a cover letter? The first chance I have to meet you? The
first opportunity I�ll get to determine how I feel about your
professionalism? Not OK. Take a writing class if you need to � I can�t
recommend that enough. Take a drama class where you work on your diction and
pronunciation. Learn to write. Learn to speak. Bad writing and bad accents
are not only killing America, but your business. Hands down.

2)* Go to new places, see new things, meet new people*. Much like how easy
it is to get into a rut online (Check out FB, News, LinkedIn, and Twitter,
without ever exploring anything new,) the same is true offline. Home, gym,
work, bar, dinner, home, repeat. BORING, and you see the same people, time
after time. Look at the most successful people in the world � They rarely
repeat the same thing twice � Variety causes you to meet new people, do new
things, and enjoy life more. Without variety, you�re stuck in a rut. The
more new things you try, the more apt you are to meet new people who can
help you make new things happen. Added bonus? You might like those new
things! How do you think I got into skydiving, boxing, and triathlons?

1) *Always take the first meeting*. I don�t care how successful I get, I
don�t care how much money I make, or how many times I fly all over the world
to speak and consult. If someone emails me and wants to meet, I will always
find time to take the first meeting. It might not always be in person �
sometimes it might be on Skype, or via phone as I�m sitting in an airport
lounge in Sri Lanka, but I will always, always hear what you have the say
the first time you approach me. Why wouldn�t I? That�s how new ideas spawn,
that�s how business takes place, and to quote Rocky, that�s how winning is
done! It�s not about going to a networking party or joining LinkedIn. It�s
about reaching out to people, and always encouraging people to reach out to
you. It�s networking as a constant state of life, not as something you
remember to do every once in a while.

It�s how I live. How about you?

NJ Unemployment Check Stubs/Statements

Posted by: "y jao" yjao88@yahoo.com   yjao88

Fri Jan 21, 2011 10:23 am (PST)



Would anyone know where we can locate and print our weekly/bi-weekly check
stubs/statements now that the state is no longer sending them out? Financial aid
programs ask for current up to 6 weeks back, at times.

I've searched the state unemployment website while sitting on hold for almost an
hour without any answers.

Anyone know? Thank you.

Yee,

I do not know where to find past unemployment payout records, but
moving forward ... after you complete the online form for continued
benefits, right after you submit the form, there is a receipt that
pops up on your screen. There is a print option on that form so that
you can have a record of the payment. Note that on that receipt all
financials are detailed for the current payout, YTD and your claim
balance.

If you file your weekly claim on the internet, you can print the
confirmation page. I print mine each time that I file. I believe that the
letter sent said you could do this.

You might try going into the unemployment claims office and see if a
representative can print out something.

Fire Safety: -> Smoke Alarms and Home Safety

Posted by: "Brian Mecca" Brian.Mecca@yahoo.com   bd_mecca

Fri Jan 21, 2011 3:46 pm (PST)



Smoke Alarms and Home Safety
By Burn Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center
Jan 21, 2011 - 11:56:21 AM

http://www.healthnewsdigest.com/news/Safety_310/Smoke_Alarms_and_Home_Safety.shtml

  Email this article
 Printer friendly page
(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Livingston, N.J. It's a documented fact -- smoke
alarms save lives. Most fatal house fires happen in homes without working smoke
alarms. In addition, many take place at night when the victims are sleeping.
People think they will be awakened by the smell of smoke, but the truth is, the
smoke and gasses from a fire actually put people in a deeper sleep. And victims
often die from the smoke and fumes long before the fire reaches them.

Already, during this extremely cold winter, The Burn Center at Saint Barnabas
Medical Center has seen an increase in the amount of injuries sustained in home
fires. "It appears that many people are having difficulty paying their home
heating and electric bills and are relying on alternative sources, like space
heaters, ovens and even candles," says Lisa Jones, BS, JFIS, a community burn
educator with The Burn Center of Saint Barnabas. She explained that doing so
greatly puts a home at an increased risk for fire.

During Burn Awareness Week, February 6-12, 2011, The Burn Center at Saint
Barnabas Medical Center, New Jersey's only certified burn treatment facility,
reminds homeowners that the best defense against a home fire is to have working
smoke alarms installed throughout their home.

"It is estimated that one-third of all residential smoke alarms in the United
States aren't functioning properly," says Ms. Jones. "For your safety, it is
important to make sure your smoke alarms are working, placed in the right parts
of your home and that you and your family practice home safety."

Functioning Smoke Alarms

When it comes to smoke alarms, the rule of thumb is to replace them every 10
years. Over time, the alarm's components may become less reliable and the
potential of failure increases. "If you have any smoke alarms that were
installed before January 2001 or you are not sure how old your alarms are, it is
best to replace them," Ms. Jones advises. The additional tips will help keep
smoke alarms functioning properly:

* Run a test of every detector in your house anywhere from once a week to once a
month. All units should have an easily-accessible test button.
* Check your batteries every six months and change them every year. A good way
to remember is to check the batteries when you turn your clocks ahead in the
spring, and then change the batteries when you turn your clocks back in the
fall. If a battery is starting to lose its power, the unit will usually chirp to
warn you.
* Don't ignore false alarms! Smoke detectors don't just sound for no reason. If
your unit seems to have more than its share of unfounded false alarms, replace
it.
* Keep your detectors clean by regularly vacuuming or blowing out any dust that
might accumulate inside the unit and in the slats on the outside cover.
* Don't ever borrow a battery from an alarm to use somewhere else. You might
forget to replace it, or the battery might get worn down faster from the other
appliance.
* Don't paint a smoke detector as it can block the vents in the cover,
preventing smoke from getting to the sensors.

Smoke Alarm Placement

Where you put your smoke detectors is almost as important as making sure they
are working. Ms. Jones advises that homeowners place smoke detector on every
level of their home, including the basement, attic and garage. She says, "Alarms
are especially important in the bedrooms since most house fires happen in the
middle of the night." In addition, she recommends the following:

* Place an alarm near spaces where fires might break out -- like a workbench or
laundry room.
* Place a detector at the bottom of any stairwells which are often full of fuel
and oxygen.
* A one-level home should have a minimum of two smoke detectors.
* Smoke alarms should be placed on ceilings whenever possible, at least four
inches away from the nearest wall. If you have a pitched or cathedral ceiling,
the alarm should placed at or near the ceiling's highest point. But wherever you
put them, make sure they're AWAY from ceiling fans or air ducts. You don't want
anything that might push smoke away from the unit.
* If you mount the smoke detector on the wall, it should be between 6 and 12
inches below the ceiling.
* Try to keep smoke detectors away from bathrooms that might let out a lot of
steam when the door is opened after a hot shower and produce false alarms.

Home Safety and Fire Escape Planning

In the event of a fire, remember that time is the biggest enemy and every second
counts. In less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control
and turn into a major fire. "Talking about home safety and creating and
practicing a sound fire escape plan is important and can help a family get out
of their home quickly," says Ms. Jones. She says this is especially important
for homes with young children, older adults or a disabled family member. The
following are some suggestions for family to do and talk about to be better
prepared should a fire occur:

* Create a fire escape plan; for a template and more ideas, visit The Burn
Center website at: njburncenter.com
* Teach a child what a smoke alarm sounds like and what to do if they hear it --
put your family's escape plan into effect.
* Practice your fire escape plan once a month.
* Know two ways out of your home and how to escape from every room in your home.
* Decide on an outside meeting place.
* Leave a home immediately if a fire starts; do not try and save valuables.
* Never open a door that is too hot to touch.
* To escape through smoke, remember to crawl low, under the smoke and keep your
mouth covered.
* Escape first, call 911 and never go back into a burning building for any
reason.

The Burn Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center is New Jersey's only certified
burn treatment facility. With 12 intensive care beds and an 18-bed Step-down
unit for less critically injured patients, The Burn Center is one of the largest
in the U. S. and Canada and cares for more than 400 patients annually. To
arrange for educational programs, please contact The Burn Center at Saint
Barnabas Medical Center Outreach/Education Office at 973-322-8071.
