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.

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.

How to write a CV when you lack direct work experience

 

Applying for a job can be a daunting task and when you have no work experience it can feel even worse. If you find yourself in this position, don’t worry, you are not the only one. There are some useful ways on how to write a CV to highlight your strengths and qualifications which will make you the ideal candidate for the position you are applying for.Don't let lack of experience discourage you from applying for the job you want! If you are a student, recent graduate or entry-level applicant, it is understandable that your experience might be a bit thin.

  Identify what qualifies you for the role

It isn't only paid experience that counts. Voluntary or community involvement, work placements, coursework, personal projects and extracurricular activities can all be highlighted to show your suitability. Think from the employer's perspective – decide on the most interesting factors, where you have used relevant skills, and then make these prominent on your CV.
For instance, this graduate CV highlights education and training, including achievements and endorsements, while this CV demonstrates how to emphasize project work above less relevant work experience. Breaking down each project into target, result and learned competencies shows relevant skills and achievements in context.

Make yourself irresistible to an employer

One of the hardest things to do convincingly on a CV is to convey desirable personality traits. Just writing that you are enthusiastic or motivated without giving supporting details isn't enough. Instead, demonstrate through examples.
Starting something from scratch and overcoming hurdles can show resourcefulness and determination. For instance: "Launched a local skills-swapping service to slash household expenditure. Found free advertising channels, and enabled residents to make combined estimated savings of more than £10,000 in first year." You can use examples like this to illustrate other characteristics such as an ability to get on with others, or organisational and communication skills.
Holding down a job to help family finances or pay your way through college can reveal humility and a strong work ethic: "Consistent work record: held variety of part-time roles since the age of 16 to contribute to educational costs." Learning about a role or sector through online communities, upskilling through tutorials or conducting your own projects all show enthusiasm – it could fit into the education, training or skills section of your CV.
Graduate employers like applicants who can demonstrate these personality traits, as well as attributes such as numeracy and commercial awareness, which you could show through retail, marketing or sales work.
Quantify achievements where possible (how much money saved, percentage of time reduced, etc) and mention instances where you were promoted, rehired, or given greater responsibility.

Speak the same language

This is especially the case for career changers, but all applicants should aim to use language that an employer would expect to see from an ideal candidate. Include keywords throughout your CV, in job titles, skills, and in how you describe your work experience. In this example, the course modules (international finance, risk management, etc) are keywords in their own right, and are included in the skills section, titled "specialize knowledge".

Experiment with layout

You don't need to always use a strict chronological work history format or have the same section order. Put the most important information first – relevant project work can come before less relevant employment, while voluntary projects bridging your move into a new career could come before current, paid work.
You can be flexible with layout and include additional sections for work that is less relevant, or earlier in your career. You can also put your education before your work experience, or extract relevant course work and place that prominently.
Don't be tempted to flesh out a CV with long, rambling paragraphs and irrelevant details to compensate for a lack of work experience. Instead, write leanly and concisely, and focus on making it easy for your reader to find key information.
Consider putting a summary of stand-out points at the beginning of your CV. Put your name and contact details at the top of the page, then use the job title itself as a heading. Under this, summarize key details such as years' experience in a particular skill, project experience or summer placements at that company, or a short branding statement highlighting your strengths and attributes. A couple of lines in note or bullet-point format (rather than entire sentences) can work well. Include a brief cover letter explaining your reasons for applying, and interest in the company.

HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR TALENT

To remind you that no matter how hard life gets, things can change for the better in an instant, if only you can just approach life with your gifts and talents.
Talents may be artistic or technical, mental or physical, personal or social. You can be a talented introvert or a talented extrovert. Your talents need not be profitable, useful, or conventional, but they will always be your own, a part of what makes you into you.
 Learning to look for your talents in the right places and building those talents into skills and abilities might take some work, but going about it creatively will let you explore your natural abilities and find your innate talents.

Have you thought of sharing your gifts?Everyone can’t be a world class performer or athlete, but everyone does indeed have some type of talents and skills to share.If you don’t know what your talent is, you need find out what it is or just simply create it by practicing the things you enjoy.

How do you discover your talent?

1. By doing what its easy for you.

Do you have any friends who mention to you that “I wish I could do _____ as good as you do”. Does it come so naturally, that you don’t think it’s a big deal? Take a closer look, great things don’t need to come through struggle, some people are truly blessed with natural gifts, don’t take them for granted.

2. Search inside of you.

 You can’t know if you’ve got a talent for guitar if you never try to play guitar. Praying will help you Find a talent that seems cool and learn everything you can about it. Find out what it takes and see what you've got. if you never try, you'll never know. You’re not going to find a talent without trying. You can only find your natural abilities, skills, and talents when you test your mettle and actively seek new experiences. Face down obstacles and seek out challenges to see what innate skills and abilities you might be hiding. 

3. Meditate on what you have and take action.

 Learn to go inside yourself, tune into yourself, if you learn to pay attention and know how to look, you already have all the answers to all your questions.

4.  Follow your obsessions. What are other people tired of hearing you talk about? What do you have to drag yourself away from? Use the things you're obsessed with to discover abilities and talents that might be hiding under the surface.Maybe you have a talent for telling stories, or analyzing narratives. Maybe you have a talent for appreciating camera angles. Every film critic gets a start in the exact same way. Channel that obsession into learning about film history and learning how movies are made.

5. Keep track of little successes.

 If you're feeling talentless, maybe it's because you've been missing out on your own successes. Try to pay close attention to successes, both little and big, to identify things for which you might have a natural talent. Think creatively about how these little successes might connect to more significant talents and abilities. 

6. Ignore the television. Shows like Nigerian idol talent auditions,project fame and other Nigerian or African Talent hunt have very narrow definitions of what it means to be talented. If you’re not an attractive young person with a manufactured sob story and a loud, showy singing voice, these shows all lead people to believe they’re untalented. It’s not true. Being talented doesn’t mean being famous, being attractive, or being some kind of performer. It means dedication, creative thinking, and attention to detail. It means you have an insatiable curiosity to develop some innate abilities into skills. You've just got to find them. 

7, Find other talented people. 

As iron sharpens iron, so one talented person sharpens another. If you've got a talent for something, or even if you just hope to develop talent in some field, surround yourself with other talented people and model yourself after their behaviors, practice routines, and attitudes about their talent and you will discover what you carry. Learn everything you can from talented people.
