Trust = Speed
The business environment is changing…
55% of consumers in New Zealand in March 2009 said that in the last 6 months they have stopped buying from businesses they don't trust and 61% of those urged family and friends to do the same.
New research has found that consumers want to buy from businesses they can trust to look after more than the businesses own interests.
Building Trust has become the leadership and business imperative. Speed to market is now the ultimate competitive weapon. Low trust causes friction and is the greatest cost in business and in life. Low trust slows everything – every decision, every communication, and every relationship.
Trust on the other hand produces speed.
Some of the advantages of building trust are:
- Enhancing innovation,
- Improving collaboration,
- Increasing profits and cutting costs,
- Speeding up execution,
- Heightening loyalty,
- Becoming more referable,
- Increasing credibility and influence,
- Reducing talent drain,
- Doubling engagement of staff,
- Reducing redundancy and bureaucracy,
- Cutting fraud,
- Eliminating politics.
Three major barriers to a team's happiness and success are change, loss of control and lack of trust.
Learn the key leadership competency of the new global economy. The ability to establish, grow, extend and restore trust.

Suppose it were your last hour! What would you choose to be doing? But let me tell you, it is the last hour. God is giving us warnings and signs in the heavens and in the natural.
"Little children, it is the last hour…" (1 John 2:18). John penned those words almost two thousand years ago. If John were writing today, he would probably say it is the last seconds of the last hour. If anyone thought they only had an hour left, I seriously doubt they would be concerned about things…they would be concerned about where they would spend eternity and those they love. Living with eternity in mind brings all of life into proper perspective.
When I heard about the recent evacuation at the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the story of a line being cut at a bridge that ushered in darkness and loss of power for three days…my mind thought about the evacuation that will happen in a twinkling of an eye when the Trumpet sounds.
When we don't renew our minds in the Word of God and stay connected in close communion with God, and with other believers, we can live in the world and be unaware of the times. Anyone can lose their power if they live in denial or do not stay plugged into God and His Word.
With the power outages and evacuation that occurred due to power lines being cut, I also thought about how the law has been changed to go against God's Word, and how He is warning America to return and repent. The enemy wants to destroy all mankind through destroying our connection with God. My third book THE MIDNIGHT HOUR (Will America Turn Back To God?) is a wakeup call for everyone. America was founded on God's Word. Jesus is the bridge for all mankind to heaven…and it is our choice if we receive the gift of eternal life or not.
With the next event happening on August 21, 2017, with the narrow path across America where the total eclipse will be visible, I learned that it has only happened once before in 1776. What is significant about 1776? It is the year that is celebrated as the official beginning of the nationhood of America.
People are converging from all over the place to watch this total eclipse of the sun. Hotel rates have skyrocketed and mass productions of eyewear are available. People are being warned to check the safety of their glasses as viewing the sun without proper eyewear can cause permanent damage.
The constellation that is forming on September 23, 2017 is the first time since Creation. We are getting signs in the heavens of warnings, and those warnings are getting bigger. (Take time to read Revelation 12). In between, on September 11, 2017, is the Feast of Trumpets on the Jewish Calendar. One day the Trumpet shall sound and we will be called to meet the Lord in the air. We are not called to predict dates of the return of Christ. However, we can surely see the signs and warnings for all to repent and be ready for His return.
It is obvious that we are much closer to the end every single day. Paul saw it that way too: "Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed" (Romans 13:11).
The Bible's message is that our days are "numbered"….not numberless. The Church must awake out of slumber, sleep, and sinful ways and be more concerned with the battle that rages—the war with Satan and the salvation of souls. We have to check our own hearts and be prepared at all times. The Bible says, "Pursue the enemy, and without fail you shall recover all" (1 Samuel 30:8). In THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, you can see the principles that are time tested that still work for today…if we will repent and return. David wept before the Lord, he worshiped, he inquired of God, and God gave him strategic instructions….David obeyed and recovered all.
We also know David was also the one who chose to tackle the enemy. First Samuel 17:48 says that David "ran" toward the Philistine champion—the Giant. The believer in the army who tackled the enemy was the one who carried the anointing of God. It's time to stand up, stand apart, and step into battle…with faith in God! Magnify the Lord over all.
We must humble ourselves and repent and return to the Lord. The Good News of Jesus Christ, the Gospel, is eternal, but we do not have eternity to preach it….time is short. It is the last hour for someone today. Somebody is crying out to God for help. No one is good enough to make it to heaven on their own. We all are in need of Jesus. He came, he gave His life for all mankind, but we must believe on Him, confess our sin, and experience a heart change. Knowing about God is not enough.
If you are not born again, if you are living in sin and you are reading this, it's not too late. Repent and believe. Read the Bible for yourself. God says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6).
The warnings have hit America. Weather patterns are changing, wars and rumors of wars, increased violence, chaos, confusion, and fake news. Lack of respect for authority to betrayal of all kinds. The spirit of antichrist permeates human thinking and society. It is has created havoc and caused moral collapse. But God… God has His answer. The outpouring of His Holy Spirit is His amazing and special provision for the last hour.
No one knows when the Trumpet will sound…no one knows when the Church will be caught up to be the with the Lord in the air. When that evacuation occurs, everything will change forever. All of The Feasts of the Lord are appointed to a certain day. When the stars and planets are lining up, these are signs in the heavens from the Lord. God does say, "Surely, the LORD GOD will do nothing, unless He reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets" (Amos 3:8).
God sends warnings. He warned the people through Noah of the flood that was coming. He warned Pharaoh by Moses. The list goes onward. He is still warning. He warns through dreams, visions, His Holy Word, through His Servants, and through signs in the heavens. He goes to extreme measures to get our attention.
"And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; …before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD" (Joel 2:28, 31).
The Body of Christ, armed with the Word of God, will be mobilized for the last onslaught of the enemy. Satan will lose again. We know the end of the story.
It's time for the harvest of souls and Satan can see his opportunities are slipping away. He knows his time is short. The greatest outpouring, the greatest revival of all time, the greatest anointing of God's power is coming upon us. Revelation 12:11 says, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death."
The future has been written and settled beforehand by God. The last hour is determined and has a glorious conclusion. Make sure you are standing with Jesus. Look at the what the Bible says:
"So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down." (Revelation 12:9-10). That's a good ending.
If you are born-again, witness to your family, friends, and foes. Walk in God's love. Sow mercy and grace. If you are not sure, or if you are caught up in sin, repent and return to the Lord. Don't allow darkness to cover your heart.
The total eclipse that is coming is a warning for every person to make sure their heart is right before the Lord. Light and darkness do not mix. Check your own heart. This is the heart of our heavenly Father God—for those who will hear.
He loves YOU with an everlasting love. Worship His holy name!

Make your words count. Do what is right in the sight of the Lord…always.
"Moses finished reciting all the words" (Deuteronomy 32:45). He said to them, "Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you—they are your life. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess" (Deut. 32:46-47 NIV).
Be reminded of verse 43: "Rejoice, O nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land and people."
These are powerful words from God. God takes care of his own. He is long-suffering, but God makes the records straight. The Holy Spirit reveals all hidden truth and shows us things to come. We are in the hands of the one who fed the hungry multitudes, and beckoned weary hearts to rest. We are in His hands, those pierced hands, once nailed to Calvary's tree, where Jesus paid the price in full…for you and me. Jesus came to set us free. He wants us to be made whole so we speak life to all we meet.
Moses knew it was the end for him; we may not know when our end is at hand…when we will draw our last breath. Any word of our ours…may be our last. What will people remember you by? Your encouraging words, godly counsel, or yelling and screaming and pitching a fit?
If we always thought about our words, that they could be our last, would it not make us more careful? Would we ever say an unkind word to our spouse, our parents, our children, or to a friend who has stood by us through thick and thin? Would we say an unkind word to a dear friend who was perhaps a little short in their attitude, only to find out they had terminal cancer and were sick? Would we ever say an unkind word if we felt we may not have the opportunity to make it right? Would we ever utter an unclean, angry, or untrue word if we knew it would be our last?
Surely we all want to have beautiful endings to our life, to leave a legacy of sweet memories behind in the hearts of our family, friends, and those who love us. We want the memory of our final words to leave a heartfelt, tender joy with those we love as the days pass.
Only by making sure that every word we speak glorifies God can we be certain our last words will be beautiful memories. For with any goodbye on the phone, to any sentence we speak to family, friends, neighbors, and those around us, we may come to the end of our days.
Make your words count…for all eternity. Pray to God to keep a pure and tender heart. Bring joy to all you meet. "The Lord watches over those who do what is right, and he hears their prayers" (Psalm 34:15).

Providing A Federal Campaign Level Playing Field
WHEREAS there is a great amount of concern that the recent Supreme Court decision on corporate campaign contributions will unleash a torrent of corporate money greater that any campaign expenditures totals in United States history;and
WHEREAS corporate campaign contributions (many made under the guise of 501c organizations) are currently not being adequately or promptly reported; and
WHEREAS the American People are confused by an overly complex system of campaign regulations and angered that small contributors are punished severely for minor inadvertent violations of campaign laws while large contributors give hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions that are not always reported.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Los Angeles County Democratic Party calls on the Congress of the United States to reform the federal campaign laws so that we have a level playing field with laws that have reasonable spending limits and reporting requirements for all, and
THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Los Angeles County Democratic Party send copies of this resolution to the members of the California Congressional Delegation.

*We demand local council election and probe of the finances of Senator Ajimobi-led government
The Socialist Party of Nigeria, SPN, Oyo State chapter condemns and describes as undemocratic and fraudulent the continuing decision of the Abiola Ajimobi-led government of appointing caretakers as the head of the local council governments in the state.
The SPN sees the recent appointments of a new set of local council caretakers' chairmen by Senator Ajimobi-led government for the fourth times since the inception of the regime in 2011 as a ploy to continue to maintain its autocratic grip and control over the local council resources and funds. No wonder that most of the newly appointed caretaker chairmen are either pliable elements or family members/acolytes of the Governor and his associates who can easily be manipulated or used as rubberstamp of government plan which is usually centred around how the funds and revenues of local councils will continue to be monopolized and diverted for pecuniary interests of the state government; while the people remain in the dark on how funds allocated to the local councils are being spent.
In the last six years, over 200 billion naira has accrued to local councils in the state from the federation account. This is aside many other counterpart funds from federal government agencies and organisations like Universal Basic Education Council (UBEC). Yet there is nothing to show for these huge resources in terms of practical improvement in the living condition of both the workers and the poor masses at different local council across the state.
Instead, the entire local councils and the services they provide in the state are in decrepit conditions. For instance, most local and intra-township roads are in terrible state. Most of the public health institutions especially the primary health care services are in terrible conditions, lacking basic facilities to run effective medical services. This is as a result of chronic underfunding of health sector. Educational supports such as provision of educational materials like textbooks, note books, chalk, etc., that used to be given by local councils in the past has long been stopped. The most ridiculous is that, local council workers like their counterpart under state ministries are owed salary arrears ranging from 5 to 10 months.
It is in view of this that SPN believes that behind the periodic imposition of a new set of caretaker chairmen by Ajimobi-led government is a motive that is far from bringing about effective grassroots development in the state. Instead it is an arrangement to cover-up for its misdeeds and misplacement of funds meant for the development of various local councils in the state.
This is why SPN continues to demand Local government elections that can the people at the grassroots the opportunity to elect their representatives and political office holders like the chairmen and chancellors through a democratic electoral system that guarantees equal rights for all political parties. At the same time, the SPN calls for a public probe panel composed by elected representatives of trade unions, communities, artisan groups and youth organisations to carry out extensive investigation into finances of local councils in the state under Ajimobi-led government.

Information on Tablets A-Z
SularPronounced: SOO-lar
Generic name: Nisoldipine
Why is this drug prescribed: Sular controls high blood pressure. A long-acting tablet, Sular may be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medications. Sular is a type of medication called a calcium channel blocker. It inhibits the flow of calcium through the smooth muscles of the heart, delaying the passage of nerve impulses, slowing down the heart, and expanding the blood vessels. This eases the heart's workload and reduces your blood pressure.
Most important fact about this drug: You must take Sular regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Sular, and you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well. Sular does not cure high blood pressure, it merely keeps it under control.
How should you take this medication: Take Sular exactly as prescribed. Swallow the tablets whole. They should not be crushed, chewed, or divided. Avoid eating high-fat meals with Sular, as the medication will not work properly. Do not take grapefruit products before or after taking Sular. --If you miss a dose... Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time. --Storage instructions... Store at room temperature in a tight, light-resistant container. Protect from moisture.
What side effects may occur: Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Sular. More common side effects may include: Dizziness, flushing, headache, heart palpitations, sinus inflammation, sore throat, swelling of the hands and feet Less common side effects may include: Chest pain, nausea, rash
Why should this drug not be prescribed: Avoid Sular if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it, or to similar calcium channel blockers such as Plendil and Procardia.
Special warnings about this medication: If you have a heart condition or liver disease, be sure the doctor is aware of it. Sular should be used with caution. Sular may cause an excessive drop in blood pressure, especially when you are first taking the medication or when the dosage is increased. Low blood pressure can also become a problem if you are taking other blood pressure medications. If you develop symptoms of low blood pressure such as dizziness or light-headedness, call your doctor. If you have angina (chest pain) or clogged coronary arteries, there is a remote possibility that Sular will make the condition worse--or even trigger a heart attack--when you first start taking the drug or its dosage is increased. Your doctor should be especially cautious if you have angina, heart failure, or other heart problems, particularly if you are also taking a medication known as a beta-blocker, such as Tenormin.
Possible food and drug interactions when taking this medication: If Sular is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Sular with the following: Atenolol (Tenormin) Cimetidine (Tagamet) Phenytoin (Dilantin) Quinidine (Quinidex)
Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding: The effects of Sular during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. It is not known whether Sular makes its way into breast milk. Your doctor will advise whether to stop taking Sular or to forgo breastfeeding.
Recommended dosage: ADULTS: Your doctor will adjust the dosage to your individual needs. The usual starting dose is 20 milligrams once a day. At weekly intervals, the doctor may make 10-milligram increases in the dosage, depending on how your blood pressure responds. For the long term, the usual dosage ranges from 20 to 40 milligrams once daily. Doses above 60 milligrams are not recommended. OLDER ADULTS: The usual starting dose is 10 milligrams. Dosage is adjusted upward according to your needs. CHILDREN: Safety and effectiveness have not been established.
Overdosage: Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. Although no specific information is available, extremely low blood pressure is the most likely symptom of a Sular overdose. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

Check out this 1/7 scale figure of Nadia from the classic anime, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. I remember watching this back when I was in grade school (sigh… time flies). I think this is one of the best Nadia figures I've seen to date. My only concern is I'm really not familiar with the company so I can't give you any tips or ideas about their work quality. Slated July 2016, ¥12,800.

B. Scott is the television and radio personality who sued BET for gender discrimination after the BET Awards last year. Scott lost the case after it was dismissed in April but vowed it wasn't over and was set to appeal. On Wednesday TMZ reported that BET made B. Scott an offer that he totally could resist and the fight is still on.
In an official statement released by B. Scott, the transgender media personality will not accept the offer from BET/Viacom. The network's legal fees are Scott's responsibility to the tune of $300,000 according to the April ruling. Scott planned to appeal and BET offered to cut the cost in half if Scott would agree not to press on with an appeal.
It isn't a win for B. Scott to agree to BET's deal. He would still owe them $150,000 in legal fees and would have to drop the appeal. Considering that B. Scott vowed to fight until the end for equality, no one is shocked that he refused to consider it.
For those who may have missed it, BET hired B. Scott to host at the 2013 BET Awards. Scott was then whisked off the red carpet during the event and told to change into a pantsuit. B. Scott is transgender and never associates as male in public. The experience was humiliating and absolutely not what Scott expected when he took the BET job.
The issue of legality here all depends on the type of discrimination and that is what B. Scott is fighting for. Scott is saying that BET's censorship of his outfit was illegal because of the first amendment rights (freedom of speech.) That is sort of a stretch but it might be possible. In reality, an argument of a Title VII civil rights violation might have been a better angle. Gender discrimination is illegal under that law at the federal level but sexual preference is not.
If B. Scott can prove BET discriminated based on his status of gender identity and not sexual preference, then he will have a case in that respect. There are cases of transgender discrimination in employment being protected under the Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964. In B. Scott's case, it really depends on the language of the contract between BET and B. Scott though assuming Scott was a contractor and not an employee.
The gender discrimination case between B. Scott and BET/Viacom could get really messy. However, it does have the potential to make powerful changes in the way transgender individuals are viewed and protected in the workplace. What do you think of BET's offer and B. Scott's refusal to settle? Sound off in the comments below.

Overview InformationCollagen is a protein that is part of cartilage, bone, and other tissues in animals and humans. People use collagen from chickens for medicine.
Chicken collagen is used to treat joint pain associated with many types of arthritis and surgery, as well as back pain, neck pain, and pain following injury.
How does it work?Collagen type II is said to work by causing the body to produce substances that fight pain and swelling. But this is unproven.
Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for
- Osteoarthritis. Early research shows that taking a specific product (AR7 Joint Complex by Robinson Pharma) containing collagen type II, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), cetyl myristoleate, lipase, vitamin C, turmeric, and bromelain by mouth for 12 weeks reduces joint pain and tenderness in people with osteoarthritis. However, it does not seem to improve X-rays of affected joints.
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Research on the effects of collagen type II in people with RA shows conflicting results. Some research shows that taking collagen type II by mouth for 3 months reduces joint pain, swelling, and time to walk 15 meters in people with RA. However, other research does not show these improvements when collagen type II is taken for longer periods of time or in higher doses. Also, other research suggests that collagen type II is less effective than the drug methotrexate for treating RA.
- Pain associated with joint pain after surgery, pain after injury, and back and neck pain.
- Other conditions.
Side Effects & SafetyCollagen type II is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth in doses up to 2.5 mg daily for up to 24 weeks. Some people might have stomach problems after taking collagen type II. Headache, difficulty sleeping, dizziness, and liver problems have also occurred. But these events are uncommon.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking collagen type II if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Egg or chicken allergies: People who are allergic to chicken or eggs should not use collagen type II. Collagen products have been associated with allergic reactions.
We currently have no information for COLLAGEN TYPE II Interactions.
The appropriate dose of collagen type II depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for collagen type II. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

Creating a practice philosophy and changing priorities for finding your practice match
Here's a common situation veterinarians will find themselves in:
I'm a new graduate and I got a job offer. The money is just OK and I know there's better practices out there, but it's near where I want to live and, well, if I don't accept the offer, what if I don't get any other offers.
6 months later… I used to love veterinary medicine but now I hate it. I dread coming to work and I really don't get along with some of the other vets because they expect me to do things I don't feel are right. But I don't know if I should leave. I'll feel like a failure if I quit. Why can other people handle this and I can't? What's wrong with me?
Sound familiar?
My first job was one of those overworked, underpaid, zero life outside of work, physically exhausting ones that also challenged my ethical beliefs and practice standards (small town mixed practice). My boss was great but I was clearly not meant to be there. It actually took a really good sit down between me and my boss with a mutual agreement to this fact, and I am grateful to her that she respected me (and the health of her practice) enough to help me.
I didn't know what I was supposed to do otherwise but I knew I wanted to go back to the ocean and hadn't seen my family in such a long time, so those values took priority.
During my transition I sat down and wrote a list of "my practice philosophy". It was about how I believed I should practice medicine, how I felt my clients and patients should be treated and how I felt I should be treated. A little like when you've been single awhile and make a dreams and deal-breakers list. Only you make this list with lots of consideration for yourself and don't drink a bunch of wine first. And never make it out of anger. I promised that for my job search this would be my guiding light.
My next job was really great. All of the vets practiced to such a standard that I would feel comfortable letting them do anything with my pets if they were in trouble and I couldn't be reached. I also felt comfortable leaving my patients with them when needed. The support staff were great. What made the difference was that I went into that set of interviews with that paper of my practice philosophy in my hand and I pretty much interviewed them. It helped that they had a defined set of goals and standards themselves.
I left that job for family reasons, plus I realized I couldn't be on call any longer and stay healthy, but that 7 years made me a better vet because it was a good environment medicine-wise. There were a few hierarchical things that went on and now that experience has added to my new practice philosophy to treat the younger vets well.
I would encourage any vet, no matter of what type of practice, to take some time through this exercise. You can wing it and speak from the heart, or you can look for processes that others have developed (I've created Desire Maps in the past). We take jobs based on pay or just the fact that someone wanting us makes our imposter syndrome slightly less evident, but we would never make a major investment like this anywhere else in life without a list of values. I even had a deal breakers list for buying a new car that took more consideration than when I found my first vet job.
I've been feeling for a long time that our profession is broken. I have my theories on why, and I'm sure some of you do as well. Maybe if we value ourselves enough and choose our work for the right reasons we can have a future that I like to call "humane treatment of vets". Now that I'm in a position of interviewing vets (although I'm not owner) I make it clear what the clinics philosophy is and try to get deeper into the vets I'm interviewing.
As a manager, I've never yet held a job interview with a prospective veterinarian who had a solid set of values. I always ask the question though, and inevitably catch them off guard. We discuss it and the biggest thing that comes out for it for me is how much I learn, if I listen (that's the trick). Skills can be taught, values are innate. The values will be the reason why people stay, leave, or open a successful practice down the road from mine. These values also teach me what kind of human I'm going to be spending my time with, passing my cases on to, and leading to future success. They remind me that the DVM and piece of paper sitting in front of me is actually human and it creates more respect. Most of all, they remind me of why I chose this career in the first place since sometimes that gets lost in the stress of it all.
I would encourage every veterinarian to write a practice philosophy on your CV or cover letter. It will make you stand out, make the employer think about this when they are meeting you (and anyone else) and allow you to create value that you are more than just a DVM and a heartbeat. You are a caring, life-saving, motivated, hard-working, amazing human being, who also needs to care for yourself!
We all have values, we can't be too scared to express them. Being human and setting standards is a strength, and trust me, if people don't want to hear about your values, they're not worth your time.

New York Jets fire Mike Maccagnan, name HC Adam Gase interim general manager
Rumors of divide between Gase and Maccagnan swirled for weeks, but timing of firing GM is so Jets
Following weeks of swirling rumors regarding the divide between New York Jets new HC Adam Gase and the man who oversaw his hire, GM Mike Maccagnan, the club announced Wednesday the firing of Maccagnan after four-plus years.
ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington report that Player Personnel VP Brian Heimerdinger, who had been with the organization since Maccagnan's arrival in 2015, has also been relieved of his duties.
"Mike helped to execute the strategic vision of the organization during the last four seasons and especially the last four months," Chairman Chris Johnson said in a statement. "However, I came to the decision to make a change after much thought and a careful assessment of what would be in the best long-term interests of the New York Jets."
Johnson went on to say that the search for Maccagnan's replacement is already underway and in the interim, Gase will be Gang Green's acting general manager.
There's a lot to unpack here, not because this news comes as a stunner but because Maccagnan was part of the group that hired Gase in January, less than one year after he was the driving force behind the trade up and selection of franchise QB Sam Darnold with the third overall pick.
But who, then, was coordinating the Brinks Truck that delivered monster free-agent deals this offseason to LB C.J. Mosley and Le'Veon Bell, among others, and green-lighted the six selections in last month's draft, including No. 3 overall? According to reports, it was over those two monster signings that the rift between Gase and Maccagnan began to grow. NFL Media's Ian Rapoport says Gase was opposed to giving Bell the kind of deal — 4 years and $52 million, more than half of it guaranteed — he received from the Jets and wanted to cap the contract for Mosley at an AAV of $13M, not the market-shattering $17M he wound up signing for.
Frankly, since the Jets' decision late in the 2017 season to extend the contract of Maccagnan, along with since-fired HC Todd Bowles through 2020, the general manager seemingly did some of his best work, acquiring Darnold and, most recently, Quinnen Williams, the No. 1 prospect in April's draft, with the third overall pick.
But that stretch was preceded by Maccagnan's biggest gaffes as Jets general manager, coming earlier in his tenure, from an initial draft class with Leonard Williams as its only remaining member to selecting Darron Lee and Christian Hackenberg back to back in Rounds 1-2. Lee, who didn't have his fifth-year option exercised earlier this month, has been a frequently rumored trade chip, and Hackenberg is out of the NFL without having attempted a regular-season pass.
Although the early returns on Darnold are promising, it should also be noted that Maccagnan got a bit lucky when he struck the deal with the Indianapolis Colts a month before last year's draft to move up three spots, from No. 6 to No. 3. Could he have known the Cleveland Browns would select Baker Mayfield with the first pick and the cross-town rival Giants would eschew Darnold and the other three first-round quarterbacks for RB Saquon Barkley? The Jets got their guy, but it involved some blind faith.
Is this a classic blunder by the Jets, who actually seemed to enjoy a short period of supposed stability this offseason after Gase's wide-eyed and well-documented introductory news conference? We don't necessarily disagree that Maccagnan had to go, but firing him now, after he chose Darnold's developer and devised the plans of the Jets boldest back-to-back offseasons in eons, makes no sense at all. Well, until we remind ourselves this is the Jets.
Maccagnan this offseason guaranteed more than $112 million to Mosley, Bell, Jamison Crowder and Henry Anderson. Did Johnson just now realize the man he entrusted with his checkbook and to build Darnold's QB incubator wasn't long for the job? Yikes.
Then there's the fact that Gase remains an unknown quantity as a head coach but especially as a personnel man after several high-profile trades and releases that made his former employer, the Miami Dolphins, an inferior football team. After being fired with a 23-25 record and commanding only two interviews — from the Jets and Arizona Cardinals — he wields more power in Florham Park than everyone except the owner.
Just when it seemed like the Jets might have a plan, a clear road map back to being competitive, Wednesday's news brings with it a lot of new questions regarding an organization nearing a decade since its most recent playoff berth.

Hoodia Gordonii plant has virtually taken the diet industry by storm. It is a plant extract that claims to suppress appetite and help users to eat less. Obviously, this then means that weight will start to drop.
The supplement does indeed work but, like other products that hit the market, there will be imposters that try to get in on its popularity without really having too much of the main ingredient in it.
Hoodia Bites is one of the imposter products that was made to get in on the action. The product is not effective and the only thing that is different is that it is a chewable pill that is eaten like chocolate.
What it does
According to the website, whenever a hunger pang strikes, take a chewy, chocolate flavored tablet and with 5 minutes, no more appetite! Genuine products will have around 1,000 mg of Hoodia within it and this makes it effective. Hoodia Bites only has half this amount so it is hard to say that it could work.
Red flags
The website says that the pill is fast acting and long lasting. However, because it says that effects are felt within 5 minutes, the statement is questionable. Those products with higher level of ingredients take around half an hour to 45 minutes so this should give some indication of how effective Hoodia Bites actually is.
The website also takes great pains to warn users of the fakes on the market. However, they have no certification on the site to show that they themselves are a genuine product.
There are much better Hoodia products on the market that actually work so this one should be avoided. Buying a product that cannot back up its claims by showing that it has all the ingredients needed is just a waste of money.
Any better alternatives?
UniqueHoodia has been on the market for several years and so far it has great track of record. By containing real Hoodia Gordonii in powder form (495 mg per pill), and having all the required certifications, Unique Hoodia is definitely the pill to take a closer look at if you're looking for effective Hoodia supplement.

Yes, this is yet another blog on minimalism, or downsizing, or any number of other terms focusing on doing – and being – more with less. It's my humble addition to the conversation, where I'll share some of my own failures and successes, tips and finds, thoughts on the journey and downright killer chili recipes. I'm under no delusions that this blog will change the world or dramatically shift the greater conversation of simplicity. Rather, it's a topic and lifestyle that has seized me during the past two years, and even if I just talk to myself, well there's still some benefit there.
But success is rarely the best motivation for action. Minimalism itself – paring back your possessions and lifestyle in order to focus on what's truly important to you – has a multitude of benefits that often can't be expressed with numbers (or views, to tie it back in with blogging). Peace, focus, presence, contentment… These are actually much better reasons for pursuing a lifestyle cleanse than the hope of extra money; although you may end up with some of that as well.
So I start this blog with really only one simple goal: to continue getting back to basics. I'll work through some ideas here, probably fumble the English language and contradict myself, but hopefully also provide a different perspective through my own experiences that can help others in their journey as well. You are welcome to join in the conversation!

Cologne Nightlife – Top 10 Hot Spots!
Cologne nightlife is as diverse as the people who live and travel to this city that has an eclectic combination of bars, clubs and restaurants. Depending on your style and the type of crowd you hang out with, you should be able to find at least a few to frequent.
Here is a list of the Cologne nightlife top 10 hot spots to get you moving in the right direction:
1. E-Werk – Is extra special. It is a hall that holds 2200, which serves as a club, concert hall, entertainment center and more. You can hear comedians telling jokes, or Bach played by the symphony.
2. Koln Messe – This has been popular since 1924, when it first opened. It is an exhibition center that hosts trade fairs, art fairs and more. Although it was rebuilt after WWII, it continues to attract all types of crowds. It's not a club, bar or restaurant, but it has 14 halls filled with exhibits and this is why it remains so popular.
3. Blumengold Bar – Is close to 5 of the main hotels in Cologne Germany and offers a number of events on a monthly basis. You can listen to concerts or see exhibits. The food is top notch. You can order a full dinner or just a light snack.
4. Bootshaus – One of the top places to experience Cologne nightlife due to the international DJs who make their appearance nightly. The nightclub and bar are both open and roomy so you can dance without feeling crushed.
5. Biergarten am aachener-weiher – This is one of the best places to find beer in Cologne. It is very close to the center part of town as well as the university, so there are a lot of college kids around. However, the drinks are cheap and the food is fabulous. The Asian Art Museum is right next door too.
6. Arkadia – Cologne nightlife in this club includes the color red. It's everywhere. On the walls, the stools and the furniture. It's a laid back club with plush furnishings and a fountain in front. It almost reminds you of an 18th century brothel.
7. Bankers – This bar is similar to a London pub. Part of the Cologne nightlife includes mixing cultures in the food, music and people. The food is great and the drinks are excellently blended. You can find first-rate beers here too.
8. La Bodega – One of the places to visit in Germany for authentic Spanish food. As the name states, it serves tapas in a relaxing atmosphere. The drinks are excellent and the live Flamenco dancers are spectacular.
9. Alte Feuerwache – This is one of the things to do in Cologne at night, with a twist of culture to it. It's a concert hall where the programs are broad-based. You can find a mixed crowd of old and young people and the stage is very large for excellent viewing of any production that night.
10. The Basement – One of Cologne Germany attractions for the young crowd that loves loud, live music. It's called the Basement, because it is located in the basement of a church. However, the atmosphere is ripe for entertainment.

In my previous post, I mentioned the necessity of mobile presence. No company can afford to limit their presentation compatibility to personal computers, when the use of tablets and smartphones is growing so fast that in no time it will overtake PC usage. If you can't see profit in it yet, look at it from the user's point of view: I want to get information wherever I am; if it is displayed in a non-mobile manner then I might search for alternatives – you lost me as a visitor/customer/fan. (A similar thing in different situation happens every time I want to buy something online and the only method of payment is via PayPal…)
We all agree that mobile is not the future, but the present, right? But do you know what kind of mobile application you need? In this text, I'll sum up all the pros and cons of each of them: native, HTML5 and hybrid apps.
Native apps
Each mobile operating system has its own platform for making apps. The main ones are, of course, Android and iOS, but Windows mobile is doing it's best to catch up. These three are not the only ones. When you're calculating the budget for development, keep in mind that developing for different platforms is not just copy/pasting. The coding starts from zero each time, the development needs different software, and performance testing and debugging is done on different devices. Most likely, apps for different platforms will be developed by different teams.
Looking just at the cost of production, it might seem that there are no advantages to making an app native. However, the performance of such an app is much better than that of HTML5 or hybrid, and it's UI is often more sophisticated and user friendly. Native apps can use the full potential of the phone you have, and have stronger security features. For this reason, many companies have recently switched to native, including LinkedIn. Even though their development is more expensive, and the process of approval on different app stores is often lengthy, once they are approved they can be a certain source of profit (or at least return of investment). It is much easier to make a native app commercial.
Still, you will have to know the market shares before deciding on the platforms for which your app will be developed. No doubt Android and iOS are a must, but do you or do you not decide to develop for Windows, Blackberry, Symbian or others? This is exactly what Nokia's vice president, Bryan Biniak, talked about in his recent interview for IB Times: the lack of apps makes users choose another platform, but the lack of users makes companies choose not to develop apps for that platform.
HTML5 apps
Since the code is developed only once and then reused, this is the least expensive option. Also, the app will look the same on all devices, with no differences related to development platform.
Even though apps' icons can be placed on your screen, these apps are not usable without internet access. That is also the reason why their updates don't need to be installed separately, but are already available when the app is opened. Since they are not developed specifically for a certain device, HTML5 apps can't use all of your phone's features, and therefore their UI is slightly inferior to native apps.
Hybrid apps
Hybrid apps are HTML5 apps wrapped in a "container" to make them feel "more native". This allows them to be distributed and sold through app stores, while still keeping the development costs reasonable. Online services like PhoneGap, Titanium SDK and others, allow this to be performed without additional budget.
The apps run slower than native, but for simple apps this does not make much difference in user experience. PhoneGap bridges the gap between web based applications and different native apps.
Many companies choose to develop a native app only for one platform, while making hybrid apps for all others.
Mobile web
Now that you know the pros and cons of each of these types of apps, it will be easy for you to decide what the best option for your company (or your client) is. However, bear in mind that native and hybrid apps exist only in app stores. They are inaccessible via search engines, and are therefore not a good solution for companies who still need to be discovered and popularised. HTML5 apps can be directly linked to your website.
Even though smartphone users prefer apps to browsers, consider having a mobile version of your site first, so you can assess the number of visitors with smartphones before starting to think about mobile applications.

Mining is a dangerous endeavor even under the best of circumstances. Introduce elements of fantasy into them and only the bravest or most foolhardy would dare venture into a mine. What creatures have taken up residence and now use the perils listed below to their advantage?
Use this table, to generate the details of the perils the PCs could encounter in a mine:
- A boarded over hole in the tunnel floor is all but hidden by a thick layer of dust and rubble. The boards collapse under any significant weight and drop the hapless explorer into a smooth, steep chute that deposits them into a chamber on a lower level.
- A rough hole in the tunnel wall is blocked by the skeletal remains of some poor unfortunate miner; his arms are outstretched into the tunnel and may snag an unwary explorer. A large chamber lies beyond the hole; the air within becomes increasingly noxious the further inside one ventures.
- A large pool of water covers the tunnel floor. The tunnel has flooded from below; a deep shaft at the bottom of the pool links the tunnel with a large flooded chamber with numerous exits.
- The recently deceased corpse of a prospector or explorer leans against an abandoned mine cart filled with bones. The strangely dessicated corpse is discolored and disfigured, clear signs of the virulent disease that awaits anyone foolish enough to investigate too closely.
- A large hole with smooth sides in the tunnel floor hinders further progress. Likely made by some large burrowing creature, it drops straight down before curving out of sight. Anyone getting within 5 feet of the hole runs the risk of the broken, crumbling edge giving way beneath their feet.
- Thick, sticky webbing fills a long section of tunnel. The webs can be burned away easily over the course of several minutes, but this fills the tunnel with a thick, foul-smelling haze.
- A rickety rope bridge spans a seemingly bottomless 20-foot wide chasm. Anyone attempting to cross the bridge without first making some necessary repairs to it are in danger of it giving way beneath their feet.
- A tunnel with moist walls overgrown with a pale blue fungus induces a soporific effect on creatures breathing the damp air. Any creature spending more than a few minutes in the tunnel fall into a deep slumber, as evidenced by a nearby skeleton partially hidden by the fungus.
- A wide underground stream cuts across the tunnel ahead, exiting through a large hole near the tunnel wall and dropping away into the unknown. Crossing the stream means contending with fast-flowing cold water and a slippery streambed that could sweep the unwary into the depths. After rain, the stream becomes a raging torrent.
- An explosive pocket of gas fills this area. It instantly ignites when any sort of flame or strong heat source is introduced. Cautious explorers might note the area's fire-blackened walls, floor and ceiling.
- A set of old, rusted mining cart tracks leads into a completely black tunnel that doesn't seem to permit natural light of any sort. The darkness is impenetrable to all but magical light.
- The tunnel walls are veined with a peculiar type of crystal that refracts and reflects light in myriad directions, making it difficult to see. Creatures relying on sight may find themselves at a disadvantage trying to navigate or defend themselves in such tunnels.

Terry Collins was holding court with the media in Port St. Lucie on Wednesday when pitching coach Dan Warthen puttered up in a golf cart to speak to the manager.
John Harper of the Daily News reports that Collins listened, uttered an expletive and then stormed off to cool down before resuming his media session. When he did, we learned the reason for his quick departure and heard other Met fans utter the same kind of unprintable words.
Zack Wheeler was scratched from his start because of an oblique muscle injury that forced the Mets to send their prized pitching prospect to the trainer instead of the mound. Given the history of the franchise and the battered psyches of those that love it, there probably were more than a few flashbacks to Paul Wilson and Bill Pulsipher going on in Florida and up here in New York.
There's no sign that this injury is anything more than the kind of minor ache that crops up in February and is forgotten by Opening Day. Any player would be handled with an abundance of caution at this point in the season and players of Wheeler's importance to the franchise are all but hermetically sealed until there's not even the slightest bit of discomfort before they're allowed to return to the field.
In a way, a minor kink at this point in the season actually helps the Mets. Any time Wheeler goes out and throws a good game this spring, the Mets are going to get pressure to keep him with the big club for the start of the season.
Now things can cool off a bit and the team can proceed with their plan to keep him in Triple-A to start the year, thus lowering expectations for both themselves and their bright shining hope for the future until there's a reason to raise them. We're doubtful that the bright side is on too many minds right now, though.
The nature of pitching prospects is that they are all actually suspects until proven otherwise. There are so many things that can go wrong on the way from the top of the draft to the top of a rotation that it's a wonder any pitchers actually complete the journey unscathed.
For a team that's seen Sandy Alderson put the majority of its eggs into a basket woven from pitching prospects, that's a scary thing to have in the back of the mind. When a team with the Mets' history does it, you can hardly blame people for assuming that the other shoe is always just about to drop.

Macro and Haiku Tuesday
With life being so busy lately, mostly with work and feeling under the weather, I had forgotten my new years resolution word, among other things. I'm not sure how I let it slip, this golden ticket of a word is this years saving grace in becoming the person I want to be and the woman my friends and family believe me to be already, despite everything. My word is permission.
Last night while struggling to fall asleep I was hit with this word. Permission; right now, today, and probably for a while it is a word full of nurture rather than just allowance. Therefore, I have come up with my haiku in honor of this amazing word. Warning, the haiku also came to me while I could not fall asleep, at one in the morning, so bare with me.
permission: a smile;
a small breathe, a new outlook
a commissioned friend.
These words are not quite there, but I wanted to share. I hope you enjoy!
For those of you who are wondering what happened to Macro Monday, my answer is, well I do not have a good answer other than I had a horrible Monday. Today was a little better and I was feeling extra creative so when I got home I ventured behind my camera to play around with more color. A new color at that, I was drawn to yellow again, really craving the warmth so I went with…Blue, here it is:
This item was fun to play around with, more textures than I had expected and so many more colors to work with…Love color!
I hope evryones week has started off well!
Be Inspired. Live Boldly.

Mild abdominal cramping during pregnancy is very common. However, cramping is also something that can cause you to worry, especially if you are carrying your first baby. It is important to understand the normal, yet benign reasons for cramping, as well as those that should cause legitimate concern.
An Expanding Uterus
The normal size of a woman's uterus is approximately 2.99" x 1.77". As your fetus grows, it requires more and more space, and this causes the uterus to stretch. You can relate this to the growing pains you might have occasionally experienced when you were young. As your muscles grew to cover your growing skeletal frame, your muscles had to keep pace. During periods of growth spurts, your muscles probably ached from time to time.
The same thing happens as your baby grows. Your uterus needs to expand to keep pace with the baby's development, and this sometimes causes cramping. There is rarely a need to be concerned about mild cramping unless it is accompanied by bleeding.
Round Ligament Stretching
The round ligament attaches the front of the uterus to the groin muscles. The round ligament stretches more and more as your belly increases in size. You might feel sharp, yet short-lived cramping when you turn quickly or change positions from sitting to standing, standing to sitting, or lying down to standing. Many pregnant women report round ligament pain when they sneeze.
Don't worry. Nothing is tearing inside your uterus, and the pain is not a sign that the umbilical cord is detaching. This type of abdominal pain should go away almost immediately, but it can become a cause for concern if it persists after you are in a resting position.
Gas and Constipation
Gas and constipation can occur together, but you might experience more gas during pregnancy even when your bowels are moving properly. Both problems can lead to abdominal cramping, but they aren't signals of a problem with your pregnancy. The best thing you can do is minimize your consumption of food that causes your level of gas to increase. You can also exercise often in order to keep your bowels moving.
Many of the foods that cause gas promote healthy bowel movement and nutrient absorption. You need to weigh the nutritional advantages of eating gas-producing foods such as beans, asparagus, cabbage, and grain against the temporary discomforts of gas and bloating.
Problems for Concern
You need to contact your obstetrician any time during pregnancy that you experience bleeding, regardless of whether you are spotting lightly or flowing heavily. Abdominal pain that is accompanied by tenderness can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy. The following problems often accompany abdominal pain during pre-term labor and warrant an immediate visit to the doctor's office or hospital:
- vaginal discharge containing mucous, blood (pink or red), or water that is different from what you normally experience
- pelvic pressure
- more than four contractions or pains during any one-hour period
In most instances, abdominal pain during your pregnancy is nothing more than an annoyance. However, if you know the symptoms that are legitimate reasons for concern, you will have a better idea of when to notify your obstetrician and when to tolerate the discomfort. For more information, contact Women's Clinic of Johnson County or a similar location.Share

Where are the dip buyers?
Or is everyone and their mother trying to front run Falcone's sales?
Newsflash--He doesn't own that much that is liquid!!
Dow down 100, and at S&P 1186--well you need to start to nibble now. Resistance is 1166--and I don't think this market is going to be that accommodative!!
I suppose though--now that we are hearing all these stories that we are heading into deep sh*t that we should be alarmed.
Unless of course, it just bullsh*t!

The Volatile Solvents Profile can help identify prolonged exposure to the most commonly found volatile solvents that have been shown to cause serious health problems. Note: This is a pre-paid shipping test kit that will be mailed and it requires a blood draw. Please Click Here to locate a lab for specimen collection.
Test #GD6005
In stock
No fasting required. Ship to lab Monday-Thursday only. Please read all of the directions and the collection procedures prior to starting test.
Overexposure or chronic exposure to volatile solvents damage the central nervous system and causes chemical-driven liver and kidney damage. Benzene, in particular, has a severe toxic effect on the hematological system and is a recognized human carcinogen. Other solvents contribute to atrophy of skeletal muscles, loss of coordination, vision problems, and depression of the central nervous system.
What are Volatile Solvents?
Volatile solvents are routinely used in industrial processes to manufacture consumer products. A solvent is a liquid or gas used to dissolve a solid, liquid, or gas to create a new solution. Each year, annual production of these solvents numbers in the tens of billions of pounds in the United States.
Air and water pollution are common routes of exposure in both our homes and workplaces. We are also exposed by inhalation or ingestion of car exhaust, paints, glues, adhesives, and lacquer thinners. These volatile solvents are used in large numbers to produce items in our homes such as furniture, building materials, paint, shoes, cleaning and degreasing agents, inks, pharmaceuticals, and as additives to gasoline. For those living and working in urban areas, the exposure to this class of compounds goes on twenty-four hours a day.
Solvents are very damaging to bone marrow and have been associated with many of the bone marrow cancers as well as anemia and thrombocytopenia. They are also associated with immune disorders, including autoimmunity, chronic neurologic problems, and infertility.

Inside Story13 Aug 2011 11:23 GMT Business & Economy, Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria's Civil War It has been nearly eight months after the Tunisian street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi made himself the fuse for the Arab Spring. His self-immolation not only toppled Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia's president, but generated a wave of action that swept across the Middle East. Bouazizi's fatal decision was driven in large part by economics, and in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria and Bahrain issues of food prices and unemployment are also high on the list of protestors' concerns. But have their protests harmed rather than helped their economic prospects? The Institute of International Finance predicted sharp contractions in the economic output of many of these countries. Are Arab economies on the road to ruin? Inside Story, with presenter Teymoor Nabili, discusses with Lahcen Achy, an economist and scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center; Aly Khan Satchu, a financial analyst and CEO of Rich Investments; and Mauritius Wijffels, the chairman of the Melba Group.
