TIP OF THE WEEK:   By Chris McGinnis
Research shows that safety is an overriding concern of women traveling on business. With that in mind, here are some important safety questions to ask when making your hotel reservation.

• **Can the hotel valet park my car? If not, is there a hotel employee that can escort me to or from the parking lot? If I arrive late, is there someone who can escort me to my room?

GOOD TO KNOW!
I don't know if this is true or not, but something similar to this happened to me recently.
As we know, we see discrimination in some form or another almost everyday and often times it leaves a sour taste in our mouths.  The following story shows us the side of diversity that we are all working for.  It is a pleasant twist to see that there are companies and individuals  who face discrimination head on, if only one small step at a time.  Enjoy reading the positive side of diversity...I applaud British Airways for their action in this situation.

On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, well-off white South African Lady has found herself sitting next to a black man.  She called the cabin crew attendant over to complain about her seating.  "What seems to be the problem Madam?" asked the attendant.

"Can't you see?" she said " You've sat me next to a kaffir. I can't possibly sit next to this disgusting human.  Find me another seat!"

"Please calm down Madam," the stewardess replied.  "The flight is very full today, but I'll tell you what I'll do - I'll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class."  The woman cocks a snooty look at the outraged black man beside her (not to mention many of the surrounding passengers).

A few minutes later the stewardess returns with the good news, which she delivers to the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug and self satisfied grin: "Madam, unfortunately, as I suspected, economy is full. I've spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full.  However, we do have one seat in first class".  Before the lady has a chance to answer, the stewardess continues... "It is most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain.  But, given the circumstances, the captain felt that it was outrageous that someone be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious person.

With which, she turned to the black man sitting next to her, and said: "So if you'd like to get your things, SIR, I have your seat ready for you..." At which point, apparently the surrounding passengers stood and gave a standing ovation while the black guy walks up to the front of the plane.
