California governor signs SUICIDE BILL

 

California Gov. Jerry Brown pointed out on friday that it is not just any other piece of legislation: By definition, it's a matter of life and death.
"The crux of the matter is whether the state of California should continue to make it a crime for a dying person to end his life," Brown said, "no matter how great his pain and suffering."
The governor made his perspective clear and made, which is also called the "End of Life Option Act," a statewide law -- when he signed the controversial legislation on friday.
Until then, Brown hadn't indicated where he stood on the issue. Until he explained that his decision was personal, based on his reflections "on what I would want in the face of my own death."
"I do not know what I would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain," he wrote in a letter addressed to state lawmakers. "I am certain, however, that it would be a comfort to be able to consider the options afforded by this bill,And I wouldn't deny that right to others."
"As someone of wealth and access to the world's best medical care and doctors, the governor's background is very different than that of millions of Californians living in health care poverty without that same access," said the coalition, which added that it is "reviewing all of its options moving forward." "These are the people and families potentially hurt by giving doctors the power to prescribe lethal overdoses to patients."
 For decades, Dr. Jack Kevorkian was the American face of the movement known as "right to die" or "assisted suicide." The Michigan pathologist not only pushed for "right-to-die" legislation, he also helped several patients die -- including one that led to a 1999 conviction on second-degree murder charges stemming from the death of a patient who suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease.

Believe it or not, year 2015 is a strange year for phone users, and if you’re anything like the four billion tech-savvy people in the world who like to stay connected, chances are that you own a cell phone. Yep, that’s right, as of 2008, the number of mobile phones in use across the globe reached four billion. That’s almost 60% of the earth’s entire population.in 2015,number of people that use mobile phones are beyond 80%.Having such a blackberry phone or Iphone is fun. Not only entertaining, but also beneficial for your job. No wonder the number of users continues to increase worldwide. However, behind the positive values being offered, it proved a powerful dangerous tool, to save a number of adverse effects that can disrupt the health of its users.
1. Addictive
Smart mobile phone devices are so easy to make the owner feel addicted. Studies at different international Universities in 2006 concluded that Blackberry and other similar devices to trigger the increase in internet usage is quite significant, but bad for mental health.

2. Disrupt sleep
With 24-hour internet service, the Blackberry device will vibrate or ring any time, when there is incoming e-mail and short messages. And all the time too, Blackberry users will be playing it, including when it was already in bed.

Quite often too, so users sensitive with Blackberry vibrating, so easily roused from sleep to open an incoming message.

Habit brings Blackberry in bed, finally make a quality sleeping. Subsequent impact, of attacking health. It's no secret that the poor quality of sleep has a negative impact on physical and mental health.

A study revealed, Blackberry users who have a habit of playing it before bed susceptible insomnia, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. Research conducted Uppsala University in Sweden, adding that mobile phone radiation can interfere with sleep activity.

3. Trigger anxiety
Having such a Blackberry smart mobile phone is fun for some people. With the Blackberry, the activity of exchanging emails, chatting, surfing the internet to be conducted simultaneously, anytime and anywhere. Many others rely on business.

Character who can make the user perform a number of things at the same time (multitasking) tend to make a person difficult to absorb the information because its focus is easy to switch from one thing to another.

"As a multitasker, their brains are flooded with too much information, as a result they no longer selective for sorting out important information quickly," said Dr. David W. Goodman, director of Psychological Disorder Center in Maryland, Baltimore.

For that, he advised users not to activate the Blackberry's internet network for 24 hours. "Create a schedule to open the email, for example once every hour, or two hours," Goodman said. "Do not make yourself a slave of Blackberry vibrating or ringing." (FMN) -

THE WAYS TO BUILD - AND LOSE - TRUST IN THE WORKPLACE


Many experts agree that trust is perhaps the most important element of a harmonious, synergistic and efficient work environment. Organizations that have trust among employees are usually successful, those that don't frequently are not.
So, management often asks, "how can we build trust in the workforce, and how can we avoid losing it?" Well, it all starts at the very top, since trustfulness - and trustworthiness - can exist only if top management sets the example, and then builds that example into every department and unit.
I've found there are five excellent ways for leaders to build trust into their teams, and five quick ways to lose it. First let's consider how to create it.

  1. Establish and maintain integrity.  It is the foundation of trust in any organization. Integrity must begin at the top and then move down. This means, among other things, keeping promises and always telling the truth, no matter how difficult it might be. If its people have integrity, an organization can be believed.

  2. Communicate vision and values. Communication is important, since it provides the artery for information and truth. By communicating the organization's vision, management defines where it's going. By communicating its values, the methods for getting there are established.

  3. Consider all employees as equal partners. Trust is established when even the newest rookie, a part-timer, or the lowest paid employee feels important and part of the team. This begins with management not being aloof, as well as getting out and meeting the troops. This should be followed by leaders seeking opinions and ideas (and giving credit for them), knowing the names of employees and their families and treating one and all with genuine respect.

  4. Focus on shared, rather than personal goals. When employees feel everyone is pulling together to accomplish a shared vision, rather than a series of personal agendas, trust results. This is the essence of teamwork. When a team really works, the players trust one another.

  5. Do what's right, regardless of personal risk. We all know intuitively what's "right" in nearly every situation. Following this instinctive sense, and ignoring any personal consequences will nearly always create respect from those around us. From this respect will come trust. 

All right, that's the positive. But what about the negative - the five fastest ways to lose trust from our co-workers.

  1. Act and speak inconsistently. Nothing confuses people faster than inconsistency. And if confusion due to contradiction is the only constant, trust is sure to fall victim.
  2.  Seek personal rather than shared gain. One who is out only for him or her self, especially in a team environment, quickly loses the respect and trust of others.

  3. Withhold information. When the communication channels shut down - both top-down and bottom-up - rumors start and misinformation is believed to be real. Then come denials. True information is often too late, or is never offered. Then trust falls apart.

  4. Lie or tell half-truths. Untruthfulness is a quick way to break a bond of trust. People may accept it once, even twice, but as the old saying goes, "twice burned..."

  5. Be closed-minded. An unwillingness to consider other ideas and points of view, and/or to create an atmosphere of, "it's going to be my way or the highway…," will certainly cut-off communication and eventually shatter trust.

When we look at the truly successful organizations of both today and yesterday, we find their leaders fostered these five principles of creating trust. Consider the great military leaders of history (Augustus Caesar, Oliver Cromwell and George Washington), as well as the genuinely beloved political leaders (yes, there actually have been some: Joan of Arc, Peter the Great and Gandhi). And then there are the highly respected industrial leaders (Henry Ford, Lee Iacocca and Jack Welch). All of these great leaders built trust among their superiors, peers and subordinates, and it was this that spurred success and greatness for themselves, their units, alliances and companies.
