"If they are going from small-number tickets to much higher tickets, they should use percentages rather than the numbers, or at least give context, such as, 'In year two, brought in $800K in contracts, which represented 30 percent of market share in the region, up from 18 percent in year one.'" The company's size doesn't have to determine how well-qualified you are for your next position. By assigning numbers to your past successes, you're giving the hiring manager an idea of how you would perform if on his team.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><strong>Share stories of your success</strong><br />Sometimes, stories can better express success than numbers can.

"Include clear and measurable proof, like the number of new accounts opened. Also, consider including a brief story about a particularly difficult sale you made. Perhaps it was a cold call that you turned into a large account.

"A key element in the cover letter for a sales position would not only be the metrics -- increase in sales percentage, overall sales, etc. -- but the how; how did you achieve this success?" says Beth Carter, executive recruiter and certified executive, business and career coach at <a href="http://www.carterconsultantsltd.com/" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">Carter Consultants Ltd.</a> "Write about your sales tactics; for example, 'I increased sales in two years by 20 percent by identifying an untapped market in this industry.' Companies want to understand how you can replicate your past success for their company." By showing that you understand the market, can spot an opportunity for a sale and can reproduce your sales accomplishments at a different company, you're marketing yourself as a flexible and experienced sales representative.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><strong>Reiterate your interest in the company</strong><br />After you've proved your sales skills, discuss why you want to join the team.

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8410538586/" title="Rooftop Remodeling by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Rooftop Remodeling" height="432" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8043/8410538586_127ce615f5_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />It was 25 years ago this summer that the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) held the <i>Deconstructivist Architecture</i> exhibition, curated by Philip Johnson with Mark Wigley. The show featured drawings and models for ten major projects by seven architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au, Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, and Bernard Tschumi. Three have won Pritzker Prizes since 1988, and all are well known now, but at the time they were hardly familiar names.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8410538474/" title="Rooftop Remodeling by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Rooftop Remodeling" height="512" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8077/8410538474_14d018c969_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />MoMA has put some pieces from their collection that were in the 1988 exhibition back on display in a small room in the contemporary galleries on the second floor. Pieces like Coop Himmelb(l)au's model of the Rooftop Remodeling in Vienna (pictured here) are also accompanied by some pieces that were not in the show, like Eisenman's drawings for House VI. The few drawings and models on display aren't much of a 25-year celebration of what can be seen as a very influential show (not as influential as the <i>International Style</i> exhibition of 1932, but still important considering the subsequent careers of the seven architects and their influence on countless others), but MoMA did at least hold a panel discussion with Eisenman, Tschumi, Wigley, and curator Barry Bergdoll. For those who couldn't make it to the event, MoMA has shared a video of all 90 minutes of it:<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.moma.org/videos/embed/255/1218" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />After attending the panel discussion and seeing the model of the Rooftop Remodeling alongside other projects that influenced my undergraduate education, I wrote <a href="http://www.world-architects.com/en/pages/deconstructivist-architecture-25">an "Insight" piece for World-Architects</a> that looks back to <i>Deconstructivist Architecture</i> and traces the subsequent careers of the seven architects, examining the impact of the show and the changes in architecture in the last 25 years.

Although they hadn't informed the volunteers, their primary aim was to determine whether wearing a helmet increased people's willingness to take risks, in which case helmets could actually decrease safety on the slopes.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">What they found was reassuring.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">To many of us who hit the slopes with, in my case, literal regularity - I'm an ungainly novice snowboarder - the value of wearing a helmet can seem self-evident. They protect your head from severe injury. During the Big Air finals at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo., this past weekend, for instance, 23-year-old Icelandic snowboarder Halldor Helgason over-rotated on a triple back flip, landed head-first on the snow, and was briefly knocked unconscious. But like the other competitors he was wearing a helmet, and didn't fracture his skull.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">Indeed, studies have concluded that helmets reduce the risk of a serious head injury by as much as 60 percent. But a surprising number of safety experts and snowsport enthusiasts remain unconvinced that helmets reduce overall injury risk.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">Why? A <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19225972" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); text-decoration: none; ">telling 2009 survey of ski patrollers</a> from across the country found that 77 percent did not wear helmets because they worried that the headgear could reduce their peripheral vision, hearing and response times, making them slower and clumsier. In addition, many worried that if they wore helmets, less-adept skiers and snowboarders might do likewise, feel invulnerable and engage in riskier behavior on the slopes.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">In the past several years, a number of researchers have attempted to resolve these concerns, for or against helmets. And in almost all instances, helmets have proved their value.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">In the Innsbruck speed experiment, the researchers found that people whom the questionnaires showed to be risk takers skied and rode faster than those who were by nature cautious. No surprise.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">But wearing a helmet did not increase people's speed, as would be expected if the headgear encouraged risk taking. Cautious people were slower than risk-takers, whether they wore helmets or not; and risk-takers were fast, whether their heads were helmeted or bare.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">Interestingly, the skiers and riders who were the most likely, in general, to don a helmet were the most expert, the men and women with the most talent and hours on the slopes. Experience seemed to have taught them the value of a helmet.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">Off of the slopes, other new studies have brought skiers and snowboarders into the lab to test their reaction times and vision with and without helmets. Peripheral vision and response times are a serious safety concern in a sport where skiers and riders rapidly converge from multiple directions.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">But when researchers asked snowboarders and skiers to wear caps, helmets, goggles or various combinations of each for <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21440468" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); text-decoration: none; ">a 2011 study</a> and then had them sit before a computer screen and press a button when certain images popped up, they found that volunteers' peripheral vision and reaction times were virtually unchanged when they wore a helmet, compared with wearing a hat. Goggles slightly reduced peripheral vision and increased response times. But helmets had no significant effect.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">Even when researchers <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22893322" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); text-decoration: none; ">added music</a>, testing snowboarders and skiers wearing Bluetooth-audio equipped helmets, response times did not increase significantly from when they wore wool caps.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">So why do up to 40 percent of skiers and snowboarders still avoid helmets?</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">"The biggest reason, I think, is that many people never expect to fall," says Dr. Adil H. Haider, a trauma surgeon and associate professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and co-author of a <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23117389" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); text-decoration: none; ">major new review of studies</a> related to winter helmet use. "That attitude is especially common in people, like me, who are comfortable on blue runs but maybe not on blacks, and even more so in beginners."</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">But a <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22268231" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); text-decoration: none; ">study published last spring</a> detailing snowboarding injuries over the course of 18 seasons at a Vermont ski resort found that the riders at greatest risk of hurting themselves were female beginners. I sympathize.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">The takeaway from the growing body of science about ski helmets is in fact unequivocal, Dr. Haider said. "Helmets are safe. They don't seem to increase risk taking. And they protect against serious, even fatal head injuries."</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">The Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma, of which Dr. Haider is a member, has issued <a href="http://www.east.org/resources/treatment-guidelines/efficacy-of-safety-helmets-in-reduction-of-head-injuries-in-recreational-skiers-and-snowboarders" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); text-decoration: none; ">a recommendation</a> that "all recreational skiers and snowboarders should wear safety helmets," making them the first medical group to go on record advocating universal helmet use.</div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.375em; ">Perhaps even more persuasive, Dr. Haider has given helmets to all of his family members and colleagues who ski or ride. "As a trauma surgeon, I know how difficult it is to fix a brain," he said. "So everyone I care about wears a helmet."</div></div></div></div></div><a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/30/wear-a-helmet-when-hitting-the-slopes/?pagewanted=print">http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/30/wear-a-helmet-when-hitting-the-slopes/?pagewanted=print</a><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; color: black; text-align: left; "><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>

I have a new friend. We spend hours together each day and she brings me nothing but pure joy. And what's best, I can carry her anywhere.<br /><br />"She" is my <a href="https://jawbone.com/speakers/jambox/overview" target="_blank">Jambox</a>. Our neighbors let us borrow theirs one afternoon for a test run and it was about an hour later that we decided we needed to put on our shoes and get one for ourselves. We've had it for about 3 months now and couldn't be happier.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2t8ZiUiUT1T7b0nsC22vVj8XmB8NI0fzU4Bmoul8Uqy5Y7J94Hs66b6a6lBvO20oCkAydaEbV-6qXShG7uWcU7GYA9oggtQCTveJjmjOR5KrfI3kH92Nztc07KTyylM96EqT0n7MB-sZV/s1600/overview-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2t8ZiUiUT1T7b0nsC22vVj8XmB8NI0fzU4Bmoul8Uqy5Y7J94Hs66b6a6lBvO20oCkAydaEbV-6qXShG7uWcU7GYA9oggtQCTveJjmjOR5KrfI3kH92Nztc07KTyylM96EqT0n7MB-sZV/s200/overview-1.png" width="200" /></a></div>This little honey has bluetooth capabilities which means that she somehow talks to my iPhone and they make sweet music together. I carry her with me to the basement and listen to Pandora while I fold laundry. Then I have her next to me while I listen to podcasts and cook dinner.<br /><br />The sound it makes is just as good as any big huge stereo and girlfriend can get LOUD when you are ready to jam it out. Which, I try to do most afternoons around 3:30. The English have afternoon tea, I have an afternoon jam. The girls and I turn up the GoGo's and as Yo Gabba Gabba would say, we "get the sillies out".<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLxX5V6OF8U53BB53ltz_G8-pL6HzZ363okrn4BNqkjvOnmmsZEReV0QhBRBiKE33tRzcgqFivANwW0G_vvyzkYW5A13IdItPgyMsXpDKqWLK4sjZ8ACfayxmBnWO1V_SGxotDqJHY2NV/s1600/overview-3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLxX5V6OF8U53BB53ltz_G8-pL6HzZ363okrn4BNqkjvOnmmsZEReV0QhBRBiKE33tRzcgqFivANwW0G_vvyzkYW5A13IdItPgyMsXpDKqWLK4sjZ8ACfayxmBnWO1V_SGxotDqJHY2NV/s1600/overview-3.png" /></a></div><br />But I digress.<br /><br />They even sell a little chain so you can wear it around your neck Flavor Flav style, if that's your bag. You can custom design yours in any color you like and it is so small and unobtrusive it blends right into the room without screaming "look at my sweet hifi system"!<br /><br />The point is, if you enjoy music half as much as I do, at a volume half as loud as I do, you for sure need yourself a <a href="https://jawbone.com/speakers/jambox/overview" target="_blank">Jambox</a>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYdGDlygo5bROWZuKRasiHIV25BWvq2UPN9F9w3kc78U3xCEGiAByqjyeuq3HN524LJ6hJabpZIzUjtbpSbMmmnxE0QPs_7nj400AvcuoU6rg4ht52iOmU-Je711uCa9GTt8snLubXnaaL/s1600/overview.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYdGDlygo5bROWZuKRasiHIV25BWvq2UPN9F9w3kc78U3xCEGiAByqjyeuq3HN524LJ6hJabpZIzUjtbpSbMmmnxE0QPs_7nj400AvcuoU6rg4ht52iOmU-Je711uCa9GTt8snLubXnaaL/s1600/overview.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Have you been surprised by a piece of technology lately?
