Breaking up with someone you still love is painful. You feel empty, confused, and just plain miserable.
The good news is that there are ways to repair your relationship and get back together.
The problem is that most people who want to fix a relationship act too emotionally, and this only pushes the other person further away.
That's right, most of us do the exact opposite thing we should be doing when trying to rekindle a romance!
So what should a person do if he or she wants to get back together with an ex?
Everything you need to know about repairing a relationship can be found in a remarkable little book called "The Magic of Making Up".
Now considered a classic, this controversial book is both loved and hated by relationship experts.
Why is The Magic of Making Up So Controversial?
"The Magic of Making Up" has offended some people because it teaches people to manipulate the situation to their advantage. Some consider it unethical. But it's hard to argue with success.
Thousands of men and women have successfully reunited with their ex-boyfriend or girlfriend by following the strategies and advice in "The Magic of Making Up". And it's saved countless marriages.
Some critics don't like the fact that the author doesn't have degrees or certifications. Others say why does he need them? The important thing is that he is truly an expert when it comes to relationships. Few people know how to influence the behavior and emotions of others as well as he does.
The author's name is T.W. Jackson. Even he admits that his advice is unconventional. And he worries that his methods will be used for less than honorable intentions.
T.W. Jackson is no academic. He writes in a simple, conversational style that's easy to understand. Mr. Jackson himself has a very likeable manner. You can see for yourself in this video, in which he talks about one of the strategies in the book.
One thing that is important to remember is that the methods in "The Magic of Making Up" will not work unless there is still some spark remaining in the relationship. If there is, then that spark can be fanned into a flame by following the plan outlined in the book.
However, if there truly is no love left in the relationship, then nothing can be done to repair it.
If you're hesitant to buy "The Magic of Making Up" because you're not sure if it can work for you, please remember that there is a money-back guarantee. Yes, you can easily get your money back if you want to—no questions asked.
Obviously, not everyone who reads this book will get back together with their exes—for a variety of reasons. And the author wants to make sure that people don't feel ripped off if that's the case. He'd rather simply return their money.
In order to be eligible for the refund, you must buy the book directly from the official "Magic of Making Up" website. This book is actually an e-book, which means you can download it through your computer and start reading it seconds after ordering it.
This is something that T.W. Jackson used to hear a lot when he was in the army. The military has a very high divorce rate, and because Mr. Jackson had such a good reputation as a relationship expert, men and women used to come to him for advice all the time. He had an uncanny knack for getting people back together.
His advice was so good, in fact, that many grateful men and women told him that he should write a book. Which is exactly what he did!
Mr. Jackson didn't bother with agents, publishers, or bookstores—he wanted to communicate directly with people, so he published "The Magic of Making Up" himself, online. It became an instant bestseller and continues to be one of the bestselling e-books of all time.
Everything You Are Doing and Saying is Wrong!
The bottom line is, if there is even a spark of love left in a relationship, then there is a way to repair a breakup, no matter how awful and unpleasant it was.
The problem is that most people don't say or do the right things. In fact, they do exactly the opposite. That's because people act upon their emotions, which is perfectly natural but totally ineffective when trying to get your ex back.
The divorce rate in this country is alarming—more than half of all married couples get divorced! It's a shame because many of those marriages probably could have been saved if the couple had followed the strategies and methods presented in "The Magic of Making Up".
Fortunately, Mr. T.W. Jackson has saved many thousands of relationships the world over. And he's received a great deal of thanks for this. Every day, he receives dozens of letters, cards, and e-mails thanking him for his advice, just as did when he was in the army.
How Do I Know If My Ex Still Loves Me?
One of the biggest questions people have is, "How do I know if my ex still loves me?" After all, if there's no love left, then why bother buying "The Magic of Making Up" since getting back together is hopeless?
Don't worry. There are definitely clues as to whether someone still has feelings for you, and "The Magic of Making Up" tells you exactly how to look for and recognize them. You'll be able to know if there's still a spark remaining before going to the trouble of trying to win your ex back.
Some other things you'll learn include a technique that will get your ex to desire you again very quickly. (It's very counter-intuitive, so most people never do this).
You'll also learn about a way to convince your ex to agree to go out on a date with you. Does it work? Yes, and it seems very open and natural.
The great thing about all the methods and strategies in "The Magic of Making Up" system is that YOU are in control. You'll feel empowered, which will give you the strength to persevere and finally get what you want—your ex back in your arms again!
The secret of how to create an unbreakable bond between yourself and your ex. This secret is the key to why hostages and prisoners, against all logic, sometimes become allies with their kidnappers or jailers. This secret is very subtle, but impossible to defend against.
The #1 reason why men leave women. Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with beauty or age. But it is the one thing that men find most desirable. Learn this and you'll keep him forever.
The thing that women crave the most. If their man can't give it to them, they'll eventually find someone who can. This technique was made famous by Don Juan, who used it to steal married women.
"The Magic of Making Up" book is essential reading for anyone looking to fix a breakup. Not only will it repair a romance, but it can help prevent more breakups in the future. If there's any one relationship guide you purchase, this is it.
And remember, if for whatever reason you don't like the book, you can get a full refund, no-questions-asked. But you have to download the book through the official website in order to be eligible to get your money back.
Marriage and Graduate School; Does The Magic of Making Up Help?
Being a poor student can take a toll on any marriage. Can relationship books like "The Magic of Making Up" help men and women deal with the stress?
Four-year medical student John Krege has been married for three years. When he begins his residency next year, he and his wife will have no debt, which will be great for their relationship. Money problems are the number one cause of couples breaking up.
No debt? These days, that's unusual. Most young couples struggle with money, of course. Breaking up because of money is common, but the relationship advice provided by "The Magic of Making Up" can really help prevent divorce.
Their secret? Wife Mary Dawn Krege supports the couple on her $20,000 salary as a junior high school music teacher. Rarely spending money on meals out or even a movie, the Kreges, both 25, opt for fun jogging and playing music together.
"The system we have worked out is that we lead frugal lives," John Krege says.
That and the fact that he qualifies for the in-state tuition rate at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill, a steal at $1,500 a year. Scholarships take care of most of even that for John Krege, who wants a career in endocrinology that will include practicing and research.
On the other hand, consider 33-year-old Gary Heig, PhD. at Stanford University School of Medicine in a program allowing students interested in research to take up to six years to complete medical school. Already a PhD in neuroscience, Dr. Heig plans a career in academic neurology.
After five years at Stanford, current tuition: $5,588 a quarter, although the six-year plan costs about the same as a four-year program, Dr. Heig is the equivalent of a third-year student elsewhere. He figures he will have about $110,000 in loans when he begins his residency.
His wife of 10 years, Denise Kennelly, is also in graduate school, pursuing a PhD in psychology. She worked for five years before deciding she didn't want to defer her own training any longer. Dr. Heig estimates her school loans will boost their debt an additional $60,000. This is tremendous pressure on the young couple. Many relationship experts advise couples like this to read "The Magic of Making Up" to deal with the stress on their marriage.
This couple live day-to-day on money from their loans.
"Money is the big stress," says Dr. Heig. "We are always wondering where the money is going to come from. When we get home, we're too tired to cook and too broke to go out. [Student aid] disbursement is in September and January, so in June, July, and August, things are very, very tight." This is exactly the kind of situation that relationship guru T.W. Jackson, the author of "The Marriage of Making Up", is so good at helping married couples with.
Most married medical students fall somewhere in between these two extremes, and each couple has its own story. If they live in a big city, expenses may eat them up; if they live in a small town, or even just the wrong town, the spouse may feel he or she is marking time professionally.
Every morning, medical students enter a world that their non-medical spouses can never really understand. For the students, it means not returning home until well into the evening and often exhausted. Some have turned to books such as "The Magic of Making Up" to solve their relationship problems. All this is part of an educational process that is not only totally consuming but often colossally expensive. And it's being played out in a surprising number of households.
The latest survey by the Assn. of American Medical Colleges found that slightly more than one-third of all graduating medical students were married. The students' average indebtedness was $42,374. Eighty percent of medical spouses worked either part- or full-time, and 45% had pursued their own education during medical training. Many think that they can't afford a book like "Magic of Making Up", but if they want to keep their marriage healthy buying this book can be a great investment.
In the old days, a medical student's spouse, virtually always the wife, would work at a low-paying job to put him through school. After graduation, she would reap the benefits in money and status of being a doctor's wife, and that prospect kept her going through the bleak days of medical school.
However, changes in the past few decades have rocked that scenario.
"The problem is that the traditional marriage as we have known it is dead," says Glen Gabbard, MD, a psychiatrist and director of the C.F. Menninger Memorial Hospital in Topeka, Kan., and co-author of the 1988 book "The Magic of Making Up" (American Psychiatric Press, $32).
Dr. Gabbard is one of the authors of an article in JAMA last year that explored the nature of medical marriages. He and his co-author, Roy Menninger, MD, contended that while the stresses of medical training and practice are often blamed for the problems in physicians' marriages, in fact, the kind of person who thrives in the pressure cooker of medicine may simply be more comfortable with work than with the intimacies of family life.
However, their research indicates that in terms of spending time together, "tomorrow" may never come, Dr. Gabbard says.
So does that mean that medical marriages are doomed from the start? The answer to that is tricky. While relationship advice books like "The Magic of Making Up" can certainly help prevent break ups, a mere book won't solve every problem.
One recent study, also published in JAMA last year, indicates that, contrary to longstanding myth, physicians' marriages tend to outlast those of the general population, including other professionals.
But an earlier study, conducted in 1985, suggested that physicians who marry before or during medical school have a somewhat higher divorce rate than those who marry after school.
Most couples interviewed for this article-described themselves as handling the massive pressures on their marriage fairly well. Many have said that the strategies and techniques provided by "The Magic of Making Up" have successfully repaired any break ups the couple might have experienced.

The Universal Theatre was a theatre at 13 Victoria Street, Fitzroy in Melbourne, Australia which operated from the late 1970s to the late 1990s.

It was established as part of the Universal Workshop in the mid-1970s by colourful barrister John Weller. The Universal Workshop was a former factory containing the theatre, a cinema and studios.

The Universal Theatre opened as a professional venue in May 1979 with Robyn Archer's cabaret A Star is Torn, which played for five weeks. The theatre gained an early reputation for lively alternative performance including theatre, visual theatre, music and comedy.

During the 1980s, the 320-seat theatre and small cinema were converted into a 450-seat main theatre and the 150-seat Universal 2. Long-running productions included Wogs Out of Work and Torch Song Trilogy.

The building was redeveloped into apartments in the mid-2000s.

The ARHS 2019 Northumberland Region boys golf champions are: (from left) Madden Miller, Nate Arsenault, coach Charlie Chambers, Nate Campbell and Ty Beed. - Dave Mathieson
Last season for golf coach Charlie Chambers
AMHERST, N.S. – With a score of 88, Nate Arsenault led the Amherst Regional High School golf team to the 2019 Northumberland Region Boys Championship in the eight-team tournament at the Amherst Golf Club.
"It's the first time we ever won regionals for the school," ARHS golf coach Charlie Chambers said.
Chambers is retiring from ARHS at the end of this school year.
"It was really nice to win, especially since it was my last year," Chambers said, adding that his golfers played equally well.
Adding to Arsenault's 88, Ty Beed scored 89, Madden Miller 90, and Nate Campbell 101, for a total score of 267, beating the second-place team, South Colchester Academy, by eight points."
Chambers says the hometown advantage came into play.
"It was pretty windy and the greens were playing pretty fast, so if you're not used to playing on them it can be a problem."
Arsenault is in Grade 9, Beed and Campbell in Grade 10, and Miller in Grade 11.
All four players will still be playing for ARHS next season, and the provincial championship will be hosted by the Amherst Golf Club.
"They should do really well next year," Chambers said. "And there will be many teams from away so it will help the community."
Chambers thanked the Amherst Golf Club for hosting the regionals.
"Mike Archibald (club general manager) and the Amherst Golf Club were very accommodating and did a great job hosting the event."
Results for Cumberland County schools are as follows (Total Score):
First Place – ARHS (267)

US: American Police Force (AFP) is taking over towns
October 1, 2009 by Infinite
The American Police Force (AFP) website: Here (Take a look and enjoy the show.)
AFP employees are not municipal police, they are MERCENARIES and they have been patrolling the streets with 'POLICE decals'!
Wake up America! NOW!
American Police Force is taking over towns
American Police Force Takes Over a Montana Town
The logo for the American Police Force looks very much like the Serbian coat of arms.
Five years ago, the city government of Hardin, Montana decided to build a large jail — 144,000 square feet, 464 beds — in an attempt to capitalize on the detention boom. A development agency called the Two Rivers Authority (TRA) was created; it issued $27 million in bonds to pay for the project.
The jail was built. It remains empty. The bonds have gone into default.
Several months ago, the TRA negotiated a deal — the details of which remain secret — with a private security firm called American Police Force (APF), which was incorporated in Santa Ana, California last March.
The deal reportedly includes $2.6 million for APF to run the jail, plus $23 million to run a 30,000-square foot training facility for military and police personnel on property managed by the TRA.
In addition, APF promises to shower the city will all kinds of amenities — computers for the local schools, donations to the local food bank, tricked-out cars for the local police force…. Whoops, did I mention that last item out loud?
Hardin has no police force; it receives police coverage through the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office. So it caused a stir last Thursday when APF officials arrived in Hardin in grand style — a convoy of black Mercedes SUVs bearing the logo of a non-existent "City of Hardin Police Force."
The APF hired Becky Shay, a reporter from the Billings Gazette who had covered the story of the Hardin jail, as its new spokesperson (for the enviable salary of $60,000 a year). It also began negotiating an employment deal with mayoral candidate Kerri Smith. Her husband, Greg Smith, is the Executive Director of the TRA and the fellow responsible for working out the deal with APF. Greg Smith was immediately put on "administrative leave" and has effectively disappeared. (He didn't answer messages I left at his business telephone number.)
Local residents are understandably curious about this mysterious private "security firm" that appears to be taking over their town.
There was initial speculation that American Police Force (the organization's website conveniently went dark as this story broke) is a tentacle of the mercenary firm once known as Blackwater and now called Xe (pronounced "Zee"). A press spokesperson at Xe informed me that she had never heard of APF before news broke of recent developments in Hardin.
APF insists that it has plenty of money to make good on its promises, but pointedly refuses to say where it comes from. Its new press spokesman deflects such questions by saying that she's confident that her paychecks will clear. Civic leaders either aren't talking or don't have anything useful to say.
There are some in Hardin who suspect that their town is essentially being taken over by a corporatist mercenary firm. As things stand, that suspicion is entirely justified.

Prison Officer Pay Scales
Office Supplies and Equipment
What is the Salary of a Wildlife Protection Officer?
Police Officers' Pay & Salary
Sheriff Officer's Salary
Administration vs. Correctional Officer
Starting Salaries for Prison Wardens
Prison officers, who are often called correctional officers or jailers, oversee individuals who have been sentenced to jail, reformatory or prison. The job can be highly stressful and dangerous because officers confront potentially dangerous individuals. Officers earn their pay by working rotating shifts that last eight hours a day, five days a week.
The 428,040 prison officers who worked in the United States averaged $41,340 per year, or $19.88 per hour, as of May 2011, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The top 10 percent received a mean $64,110 annually, or $30.82 hourly, while the bottom 10 percent made $25,300 annually, or $12.16 hourly. To make these salaries, prison officers must enforce rules within prisons, supervise inmate activities and help with the rehabilitation of inmates. They can conduct searches for illicit items, such as drugs or alcohol; mediate disputes between individuals; and inspect facilities to ensure they meet standards. They do not have law enforcement authority outside their places of work.
In 2011, state government was the biggest employer of prison officers, with 55 percent of the jobs and average wages of $42,240 annually, or $20.31 hourly. The highest paying employer is the federal government at a mean $50,330 annually, or $24.20 hourly. However, it only provided 4 percent of the positions. Employers typically require a high school diploma or equivalent for applicants. However, the Federal Bureau of Prisons requires a bachelor's degree, three years of full-time experience in counseling or a combination of the two. Recruits under any employer type then go through a training academy, which can last for several months, depending on the employer type.
The state that paid prison officers the best was California, with an average pay of $63,230 annually, or $30.40 hourly; followed by New Jersey, at a mean $62,240 annually, or $29.92 hourly; and Massachusetts, at an average $54,850 annually, or $26.37 hourly. For cities, the metropolitan areas with the same advantage were San Francisco, California, at a mean $68,930 annually, or $33.14 hourly; Edison, New Jersey, averaging $65,210 annually, or $31.35 hourly; and Bakersfield, California, at a mean $65,070 annually, or $31.29 hourly.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics sees jobs for correctional officers increasing at 5 percent from 2010 to 2020, which is less than the 7 percent expected for all law enforcement workers and also under the 14 percent predicted for all jobs in all industries. Population growth will fuel the demand. However, the general downward trend in crime rates and budgetary cutbacks will lower employment opportunities. To save money, many localities have mandated shorter prison terms and alternatives to incarceration, such as community-based programs. However, the job has a high turnover rate because of the low salaries and high stress, which make it easier for applicants to enter the profession.

Even though I am not away on holidays, there are less things on so there is a bit more time for stitching. I am enjoying the daily stitching on Stitch Therapy 365. Here are my last few blocks.
I have also been working on Here, There and Everywhere too. Just need to make the map for this block.
My other project has been to work on this stitchery. Lots of fun stitching on this one. It is one of the Artists Series from Thread Folk.
This cross stitch became a decoration after Christmas.....ready for next Christmas.
I also received this lovely gift from Paddy. Thank you so much for my gorgeous decorations and the delicious fruit.
We had stitching on Wednesday so it was lovely to catch up with everyone again. Lynne came in to show us this amazing cross stitch!
Roni has also made this delightful decoration!
I finally put the decorations away. I do love them but putting them up and away are big jobs!


Hanging in Michigan, celebrating Peachie Mo Dee and Chris Davis…with my homegirls from Baltimore and Chicago!!!
Met up with my BGR! Columbia sole sisthas for a meet and greet at a paint and sip the following weekend and then headed down to North Augusta.
Another weekend, and another trip to North Augusta. This time to celebrate a friend's birthday at another paint and sip. Augusta Pride was that weekend also, so I was able to check out Pride for the fourth year in a row with Veronica and Briana.
Fourth of July weekend and you know I'm back in the NA (North Augusta). The Yankee Doodle Dash was on the 4th and I just had to run with my BGR! sole sistahs and Team RWB members. It was an amazing turnout. This wasn't my best 10K, but it was my first race since injuring my hamstring back in April. Must admit, I felt pretty good and looking forward to getting back on track or shall I say pace 🙂 .
I think the best part of this summer was traveling to Punta Cana for my birthday. Veronica and I had a blast. I was able to run on the beach (yeah that was a bucket list item) and even worked out a couple of times in the gym.
Veronica and I really enjoyed the food, drinks and staff at Melia's, the level for adults only. This trip was all inclusive, so you know what that meant for me….shots, shots, shots (well not really shots but I did have my fare share of mojitos 😉 ). The majority of the time was spent eating, drinking and lounging (sleeping) on the beach. This was the first time that I was comfortable in my skin on the beach. I wore a bikini (who would have thought), shoot I wore a bathing suit without a cover-up. WINNING!!! We had so much fun. We went on a safari excursion, where we got to see some of the island. Can you believe I rode a horse…yeah I can't either. This was one of the best birthday's ever!!! I didn't want to leave. I think I shed a tear at the airport on the way back home. Looking forward to my 40th birthday trip next year (it's going to be hard to top this one).
As I'm sure you probably can tell, I didn't get much running in on my birthday vacation (I did run once and worked out a couple of times) so being back in the states I was ready to get back on the pavement. The following weekend I was able to meet up with a sole sistah from BGR! Augusta and hit the streets for 4 miles. Katie met me at 5:30 am to get in a few miles before we headed over to Fleet Feet Sports Augusta to run in celebration of their 6th birthday.
Fleet Feet Sports Augusta really knows how to throw a party. For their 6th birthday celebration, they put together a Fun Run/Walk and Pancake Breakfast. We met up with a few more members from BGR! Augusta to enjoy a fun morning of running, pancakes and mimosas.
After the run, Veronica and I headed down to Atlanta to support Bri as she hosted her first Art Show. She had several artist on hand showcasing and selling their work. CREATLIV was a huge success.
Even with the trip to the DR, my birthday was still celebrated in grand fashion on the first of August. Of course I had to start the morning off with an 8.1 mile run. Who better to run with on my birthday than my sole sistah Karen!!! She didn't hesitate to meet me early that Saturday morning.
Later in the day, Veronica invited her family over for a birthday party for little old me :-). We had Mexican cuisine (my favorite) and red velvet cake (another favorite). Veronica even joined me the next morning for a nice walk on the Greenway (I really wanted to run but someone claims to not be about that life). Later that afternoon we headed to Atlanta, Ga (yeah again) to see the Atlanta Dream take on the Phoenix Mercury. I didn't mind the mini road trip because we ended up sitting right behind Brittany Grier (oh to be young again 😉 ). WINNING!!!
Summer comes to an end for me in a grand fashion; the return of my man child (and Cooper). I headed up to Charlotte the following weekend to pick up my boys. Happy, happy, joy, joy!!!
Believe it or not, I still wasn't done with my summer weekend fun. The following weekend, Diallo and I ended up in North Augusta (dayum I should become a permanent resident lol) to help celebrate Meka's, birthday. It was just us ladies enjoying a movie (Straight Outta Compton), lunch, and cake. Can't have a birthday without cake (well you can but it's really not the same 🙂 ) .
Since I was so close and knew the kiddos would be home that weekend, Diallo and I headed over to Augusta to check out the family.
As you can see, I was literally doing something every weekend since the start of summer. I'm ready to get back to my long runs on Saturdays and doing absolutely nothing on the weekends.
Even though I haven't blogged in a while, I still continued to "find balance" with my workouts. The hardest part this summer, was sitting down to blog about it. I started out the month of June with my half marathon training using the Nike Plus coaching app. But the way my weekends were setup, it was hard for me to get my long runs in on Saturdays. So, I decided to switch up my training plan. My goal moving forward will be to focus on my December half and just use my Race 13.1 events as training runs. The training for my December half started on the 7th of Sept, so you know you can read all about it soon :-).
How was your summer? Training for any races? Take any vacations?


Jeni they are all gorgeous but I love the middle row center the best!!!
Great collection this week, especially those coasters in the bottom right . . . he he he ;-) That "Single Girl" quilt is amazing and I love the others too!
hey!!! i recognize that quilt!!!

Matthew Bell UK&I Climate Change and Sustainability Services Leader at EY
The words regulation and opportunity don't typically appear in the same sentence, but the scale and depth of new sustainability rules can offer forward-thinking businesses the chance to gain advantage. Put simply, the new rules mean that companies will need to build new measurement, reporting and governance capabilities. But, for those willing to look beyond a box-ticking approach and put sustainability at the heart of their operating model, there will also be significant opportunities.
If those opportunities don't seem obvious yet, let me first explain the challenges that new green regulation presents for businesses, then describe how companies can reframe them, using the compliance process as a way of exploring new and profitable options.
A year of change
You have probably already heard 2021 being described as a pivotal year for climate change, especially in the UK, with the COP26 taking place in Glasgow in November and Boris Johnson eager to turn his ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution into reality. It's also the year when the wider public got the message that, far from being a distant event, climate change is happening right now. Figures from the Royal Meteorological Society, published in July and widely reported in the media, showed that the impacts are already being felt across the UK. Globally, temperatures are already 1.1 degrees centigrade above pre-industrial levels. That's nearly three-quarters of the way towards the 1.5 degree-centigrade average temperature rise that scientists have long been warning risks catastrophic impacts.
Yet, despite the higher public profile being afforded to the environment and climate change, a slew of oncoming sustainability regulation risks slipping under the radar. Such is its volume that there is not enough space here to list it all, so instead let's take one notable example, the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. For those thinking that Brexit means it won't apply, then think again. Not only will it impact anyone trading with or operating within the EU, but it will almost certainly set the tone for domestic legislation, which currently shows little sign of divergence from EU environmental policy.
What the new regulation means
The new directive marks a major step change in corporate reporting, yet implementation is expected to take place over a timescale of less than two years. It also extends the reach of current regulation, bringing nearly all listed companies into its orbit. Yet it is probably the sheer scope of the regulation that presents the biggest challenge for businesses, which are largely unprepared. They will be required to disclose more sustainability-related information than ever before, potentially including information about their business models, strategy and supply chains that some executives may believe is sensitive or provides commercial advantage. In addition, this information will be far more rigorously assured than is common practice, akin to the level of the companies' external financial auditor, over time. Clear and universal standards will be put in place, allowing like-for-like comparison between peers.
As a result, the days of companies disclosing the sustainability information that they wish to against the metrics they choose will soon be over. So too will be the ability to largely ignore and/or fail to report sustainability risks, from those, for example, around climate change impacts on current operations, to human rights within supply chains. To put it crudely, there will be no place to hide.
Seeing the opportunity
It's easy and, completely understandable, to look at the new regulations and break them into a number of compliance challenges: build a way to measure a new non-financial KPI here, apply a new reporting standard or layer of governance there. Yet, while that approach will slowly, possibly painfully and undoubtedly expensively put you on the road towards compliance, what will you have got back in return? Another layer of complexity and an ERP system possibly buckling under the weight of add-ons and customisation?
As in many aspects of business, taking the big picture view may be a better play, in terms of both driving the compliance process and realising broader business benefits. Taking that approach, businesses should examine what, fundamentally, the regulation is asking them to do. In essence, it is posing questions about the resilience of a company's business model and its strategy in the face of sustainability-related risks.
Start seeing regulation like that and it becomes clear that the lens required is a long-term view of your business, built around the needs, not only of regulators but customers, staff, suppliers and indeed society. We've seen this shift happen with everything from big oil companies to retail giants. The environment-related risks for a company that is, for example, extracting fossil fuels or supplying low-cost fast fashion are unlikely to be addressed by better compliance process – rethink of the business model is required.
"As in many aspects of business, taking the big picture view may be a better play, in terms of both driving the compliance process and realising broader business benefits."
Investors and consumers get onboard
If that was the stick, then here's the carrot. For those willing to make the leap before they get pushed, the opportunities and rewards can really stack up as investors and consumers are actively looking to invest in, or buy from, sustainability-driven companies.
Our 2020 survey of institutional investors found that 98% assess ESG factors and that 75% said that climate change risks would cause them to re-evaluate or change their investment decisions. In terms of consumers, the EY Future Consumer Index reveals that while over half (54%) bought sustainable products, more than a third (34%) plan to step up their spending in this area. Both globally and in the UK, climate change (45% and 46% respectively) is of most concern overall for consumers.
If sustainability has in the past suffered from what Gillian Tett of the FT described as an "alphabet soup of standards" the tide is turning. At EY, we are so determined to help our clients address this problem that we have been working with our rivals in the Big Four – and alongside the World Economic Forum – to develop a set of common ESG reporting standards.
The link between ESG and ERP
But you may well be thinking, what does this have to do with my ERP system? The simple and possibly glib answer is 'everything', although that probably merits expansion. Clearly, the better and more real-time the non-financial data you have flowing through your system, the better and more sustainable your decision making will be. And with your business model retuned to run on long-term value, you will be ready to take advantage of what's ahead, not eke out what's left from legacy models or systems. But there's another angle that perhaps speaks more directly to the decisions that businesses must make around ERP investment.
The reality is that many companies are already placing huge 'bets' on the future, spending millions if not billions on digital transformation and its accompanying ERP system upgrades or new builds. Yet, given high levels of market uncertainty and disruption, that future is far from clear.
In contrast, few have so far been willing to spend anything like as much on 'green transformation' even though – thanks to national and international climate agreements, plus the increasingly precise ESG demands of investors and regulators –that future is far more transparent.
So, with the stick of new regulations and the carrot of a better and more sustainable business, it's clear to me where the big ERP bets should be placed: on green.

"David North and I went to Alton High School together in the early 1970s. We were in some of the same choral groups, and he had the most beautiful voice!! I just read an article on NPR about his "Doorway to the Imagination" which he built in his yard. A photo was included, and even with a beard, he was absolutely recognizable. I googled and came across this bio! I'm so pleased to know he's still around, living his life with his husband, obviously super happy, still a minister and helping people, and singing!! Whether he remembers me or not (1973 was a long time ago), I always think of that sweet guy with the amazing voice that performed in high school. "

Honoring a legacy, and our vision for the next 100 years.
In October of 1917, 20 year-old Reuben Lott opened a small furniture store in his namesake on Front Street between a hardware store and a butcher shop. Beginning with sales primarily to the logging camps, Mr. Lott branched out over the state in years to come. Located across the street from the train depot and lumber yard, Lott Furniture fell right into the hub of regional commerce. Little did Mr. Lott know, his store would still be a part of the downtown community a century later.
World War II and the Great Depression took a huge toll on the economy in Laurel and many jobs were lost, leaving families penniless and businesses abandoned all around the city. Mr. Lott's method of financing allowed customers to pay their bills in small amounts and kept the store alive during some of the nation's most difficult years. Our oldest ledger shows a sale of two iron bedsteads to a Viola Broach with a bill of just one dollar a week. Sometimes, our customers even paid as little as 5 to 25 cents per payment.
By the late 40s, the store claimed the two neighboring businesses to expand into a space three times its original size. Sales broadened to neighboring counties and Mr. Lott began hiring traveling salesmen to collect payments and sell wares door-to-door. Our wood-bodied trucks became traveling symbols of Lott Furniture and were soon recognizable all over town.
In the 40s, Blues vanguard Blind Roosevelt Graves sang and played his guitar right in front of Lott Furniture daily. He and his brother Uaroy drew massive crowds to Front Street just to hear them play, locals and travelers alike. It's been said that Blind Roosevelt was a big influence on the Delta Blues musicians who would stay to listen between train stops.
Mr. Lott began to open locations in nearby cities, along with a second store in downtown Laurel. Sitting where Southern Antiques is today, Laurel Furniture carried more expensive furniture and accessories than Lott and catered to different kinds of customers. Sometime in the 50s, Nellie met her landlord's son, Willie Joe (WJ) Rowell, and remarried. WJ worked as Laurel Furniture's store manager during these years, while Nellie remained at Lott.
By 1965, there were eleven stores that scattered Mississippi. On Fridays, the books from all locations were brought to Lott Furniture and Nellie would take on the tedious task of balancing and recording weekly transactions and return the books the following Monday. Long time employee, Henry Smith, left to open Smith Furniture around 1960, and remained friendly with Mr. Lott. After Henry passed away, WJ Rowell bought Smith Furniture and worked there until he retired in 2004.
The 70s was a time of technological innovation that replaced traditional bookkeeping in many businesses. Manual typewriters and calculators were now obsolete, and computers became record keepers rather than ink written by careful hands in ledger books. Although aging, Mr. Lott was determined to keep records by hand even though updating to computers would have been much quicker and easier. He was unwaveringly certain that personally writing a customer's name built a relationship that shouldn't be sacrificed for efficiency. So while we did adopt some modern office equipment, we continue to this day to write all account information by hand.
Mr. Lott had no children, so he sold each of his stores to its respective employees when he retired. The stock percentages were determined by position and seniority, giving Nellie Rowell the most sizable part of the main store. Other stockholders retired, were paid out, and eventually Nellie became the sole owner of Lott Furniture.
By the late 70s, urban renewal was in full swing, and the promise of growth for downtown Laurel was soon lost as the once crowded streets became barren.
During the 90s, Bobby left the store and we began to phase out outside salesmen and collectors. Sales were only made on location or over the phone, but Mr. Lott's financing remained as it was in 1917.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated downtown Laurel and much of the Southeast. Our storefront was destroyed and the metal façade installed in the 50s was blown away. We were surprised to find that the original building was mostly intact underneath. We repainted the brick and installed a canopy inspired by the early 1900s, restoring the storefront to something reminiscent of an earlier era.
Today Nellie's youngest daughter Candy, Rodney, and Angie remain at 320 Front Street. Nellie's oldest daughter, Patsy, has devoted many hours doing everything from office work to interior design. With careful management, we have been able to stay true to our roots and our customers while sustaining our business and carrying on as a part of our community.
We look forward to Laurel returning to its former glory with the rise of a younger generation of entrepreneurs and creatives. We take pride in our little town and the recent surge of "hopefuls" and "doers" that are emerging around every corner. We see families and newcomers of all kinds settling into new and old houses alike, and we just want to help make those houses feel like home.
Lott Furniture's legacy isn't about us; it's about you, and we will honor that relationship for the next 100 years to come.

(Brad Penner (USA Today))
Don't think for a second that Todd Bowles hasn't noticed what's been going on up in New England this offseason. The Super Bowl champs have had one of the finest offseasons in the NFL. The rich have gotten much richer, and the gap between them and the Jets is as wide as it's ever been.
But at this point Bowles can't -- and doesn't -- see the Patriots as competition. Yes, if the Jets are ever going to be serious contenders again they'll have to dethrone the monsters of the AFC East. They just have bigger problems at the moment -- getting their own franchise turned around.
"We have to take care of us to make sure we get better as a team," Bowles said on Tuesday morning during the AFC Coaches Breakfast at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix. "We'll deal with that (bridge) when we cross it. It's already tough anyway. But I don't worry about the Patriots in March. I'm worried about my guys, not their guys."
That's good, because if he thought the Patriots were worrisome before, they may be more trouble than ever now. Fresh off the fifth championship of their dynasty years -- and their second in the last three seasons -- they signed the best cornerback on the free-agent market (Stephon Gilmore), traded for a dazzling young receiver in Brandin Cooks, traded for a strong tight end (Dwayne Allen) to replace the departing Martellus Bennett, and they re-signed linebacker Dont'a Hightower after the Jets tried to lure him away.
That all had to catch Bowles' attention at least, right?
"They won the Super Bowl so that's what really catches your attention," Bowles said. "They didn't need to make any moves, so I don't worry about it too much."
Not yet, anyway. First the Jets have to get themselves back on track and figure out who their franchise quarterback is going to be. Once they get back to respectability then they can think about contending, and then maybe they can think about really fighting the Patriots for control of the AFC East.
That could take a while, though, which is why the worst news out of New England this week was the revelation by Patriots owner Robert Kraft during the NFL owners meetings. He said Tom Brady has told him he intends to play another "6-7 more years."
Mo's bad season was injury-induced
Wilkerson, like so many of his teammates, was a disappointment last season, with just 4 ½ sacks and having little impact. Then came a recent report that he is startlingly out of shape this offseason. Bowles seemed unconcerned by that report, though he admitted he hasn't seen his star recently.
He also believes Wilkerson's bad season had everything to do with the difficult recovery he endured after breaking his leg late in the 2015 season, which led to an ankle injury last season.
"I'm sure he played hurt most of the year," Bowles said. "Usually those things take about a year and a half to come back from. He came back early. He gutted it out. Showed the kind of warrior he is. Hopefully he's gotten better and he can go back to being himself."
Marshall may have blown his big chance
Whatever chance Jalin Marshall had of cracking the Jets' lineup this season may be gone -- at least in the short-term.
Bowles made that pretty clear this week when he talked about the 21-year-old receiver who will miss the first four games of the season due to suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. He will be able to practice with the Jets this spring and summer. But at some point, Bowles said, the Jets have to work with the players who will be there in September.
And if that costs Marshall his job … oh well.
"He'll get the reps early on, but obviously as a coach you understand that he's not going to be around the first four games and those guys are going to get more of the reps," Bowles said. "And you open a door and give a guy a chance to play, if he takes his spot he takes his spot."
Devin Smith? Remember him?
The field was already crowded among the Jets' young receivers - a promising group that includes Quincy Enunwa, Robby Anderson, Charone Peake and Marshall. And oh, there's one more guy, too. Remember Devin Smith, the Jets' second-round pick in the first Mike Maccagnan draft? After missing most of last season while rehabbing a torn ACL, he could be a factor this season.
"I'm hoping he comes in healthy and stays healthy, No. 1," Bowles said. "And because we have a new offensive coordinator, everybody's starting from scratch. Everybody's on Square 1 and has to prove themselves. We'll see who rises to the top. I expect Devin to be in that mix."
No timetable for Johnson & Johnson transition
Jets owner Woody Johnson was at the NFL Owners meetings with his brother, Christopher Wold Johnson, who will eventually be taking over the day-to-day operations of the Jets. Woody Johnson, of course, has been tapped by President Donald Trump as the next Ambassador to the United Kingdom -- though he's still awaiting Congress to get around to confirming him.
Both Johnsons declined interview requests, but a source said there is no apparent timetable for the confirmation process or for the transition at the top of the Jets' power structure. Everyone is downplaying the significance, though. There is confidence that not much will change when Christopher Wold Johnson takes over. He will likely get a lot of assistance in his new role from team president Neil Glat.

Why Jets should target offensive linemen in the first round of 2020 NFL Draft
Protecting Sam Darnold should be the first priority

Skimming through myriad mock drafts that have surfaced ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft, many believe Jets GM Joe Douglas will be targeting a No. 1 receiver for Sam Darnold. There are a few playmakers for New York to choose from, including Alabama's Jerry Jeudy, Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb, and Clemson's Tee Higgins.
Having a top receiver is definitely a need for the Jets, but is that what they should be focused on with the No. 11 overall pick? What about protecting Darnold?
While there's multiple playmakers to salivate over in the first round, there's just as many offensive linemen to bulk up that unit for the Jets.

Jets GM Joe Douglas
Joe Douglas is heading into his first offseason as the Jets GM, and he knows there is a lot on his plate. Multiple holes need to be filled, especially on the offensive line front and the secondary.
Knowing how crucial his first offseason calling the shots is, Douglas is already on the ground getting to work.
Douglas is at the East-West Shrine Bowl at Tropicana Field assessing some of the best college seniors the NCAA had to offer this season ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft. And, according to the Pro Football Network, he has brought reinforcements with him.

Here's why Ryan Tannehill's recent success doesn't mean Jets' Adam Gase is a bad coach
Gase was Tannehill's coach in Miami for 24 games
Adam Gase
Ryan Tannehill, of all quarterbacks, secured a place in the AFC championship game on Saturday, and that has spawned a cottage industry bashing of his former coach, Adam Gase. After all, the theory goes, Tannehill finally became the quarterback everyone thought he could be as soon as Gase was no longer his coach.
It's a nice theory. And for anyone who hates Gase or thinks the Jets made a mistake by hiring him, it fits the narrative.
It just doesn't fit the facts.
Jets' Sam Darnold reportedly had surgery on his left thumb

Jets quarterback Sam Darnold reportedly had surgery to repair a ligament in his left thumb on Tuesday, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.
Darnold is not expected to miss any time as the surgery was performed by the Jets team doctors.
He originally suffered a thumb injury on Oct. 27 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, though, he never missed any time due to the injury. He wore a brace on his left hand under a glove for the rest of the season.

Over the last week or so, we've been taking an in-depth look at the rookie season for each of the Jets' 2019 rookie class. We conclude today with a look at defensive lineman Kyle Phillips, who was an undrafted free agent signed in May.
Phillips was one of three undrafted rookies to see action with the Jets this season, but he was the only one to make the opening day roster. In fact, the other two - cornerback Kyron Brown and wide receiver Jeff Smith - each played just one game before suffering a season-ending injury.
After being inactive on opening day, Phillips was active for every other game and finished the season with 39 tackles and 1.5 sacks. He was also credited with one pass defensed.

The Jets have signed wide receiver Jehu Chesson to a reserve/future contract.
Chesson, 26, was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs with the No. 139 pick in the fourth round in the 2017 NFL Draft out of the University of Michigan.
He finished his rookie season with two receptions for 18 yards in 12 games, but was waived prior to the 2018 season. The Washington Redskins signed him soon after and he bounced between their active roster and practice squad. He had one reception for seven yards in 12 games with the Redskins in 2018.
Deep dive on Bless Austin's rookie season and how he might impact Jets in 2020
Austin showed potential as Jets' corners struggled in 2019

Over the last week or so, we've been taking an in-depth look at the rookie season for each member of the Jets' 2019 rookie class. We continue today with a look at cornerback Bless Austin, who was selected in the sixth round.
For much of the season, Austin was a forgotten man, as he was on the non-football injury list rehabbing a serious knee injury. However, he was activated in November and soon found himself in a starting role after Darryl Roberts got injured and Nate Hairston was benched. Over the next five weeks, Austin and Arthur Maulet provided the Jets with the most consistent cornerback play the team enjoyed all season and it looked like Austin was establishing himself as a potential starter for 2020 and beyond.

If Mike Maccagnan listened to Larry David before the 2018 NFL Draft, things would have turned out pretty, pretty, pretty good.
During an appearance Tuesday on The Michael Kay Show, the Curb Your Enthusiasm star and Seinfeld co-creator explained how he tried to make Jackson to the Jets happen.
"I did call Mike Maccagnan before the 2018 draft and I recommended that he draft Lamar Jackson," David said. "I have a witness -- yes, I have a witness."
Deep dive on Blake Cashman's rookie season and how he might impact Jets in 2020
Cashman took advantage of the Jets' injury issues at inside linebacker, starting five games
By Bent | Jan 7 | 12:49PM

Over the last week or so, we've been taking an in-depth look at the rookie season for each of the Jets' 2019 rookie class. We continue with a look at linebacker Blake Cashman, who was selected in the fifth round out of Minnesota.
Cashman took advantage of the Jets' injury issues at inside linebacker as he got the opportunity to start five games and he was productive in those games, racking up 33 tackles, three quarterback hits, a pass defended and a fumble recovery. He ended the season with 40 tackles in seven games. However, he suffered a season-ending injury in the Jacksonville game and missed the second half of the year.
When Cashman was drafted, it seemed most likely that he'd primarily be a core special-teamer and perhaps work toward getting some reps as a situational coverage linebacker. However, when Avery Williamson was lost for the year in the preseason, Cashman suddenly became the primary backup at inside linebacker and was thrust into a full-time role due to CJ Mosley's opening day injury.

Jets' Joe Douglas high on Jamal Adams, Le'Veon Bell
GM changing tune on Jets stars?
By Nick Wojton | Jan 6 | 10:40PM
Jets general manager Joe Douglas previously said he wouldn't hang up if and when trade calls come in on either running back Le'Veon Bell or safety Jamal Adams.
Speculation has surrounded both players since early in the 2019 season.
Listening to trade calls still be true, but the GM changed his tune a bit on Monday. Douglas praised both Adams and Bell instead of discussing those potential calls.

Over the next week or so, we're taking an in-depth look at the rookie season for each of the Jets' 2019 rookie class. We continue today with a look at tight end Trevon Wesco, who was selected in the fourth round out of West Virginia.
On the face of it, Wesco had a disappointing season, as he only caught two passes, struggled in pass protection and did little to elevate the Jets' underwhelming running game. However, there were signs of usefulness throughout the season and some evidence of progression.
He typically had mixed results as a run blocker from the tight end position early in the season but seemed to improve his consistency as the season went along. He seemed to hold up well at the point attack and was able to handle assignments that required him to set the edge against defensive linemen while at times flashing dominance against smaller players in space.

Thrown into the O-line mix, Edoga's short season was up and down

Over the next week or so, we're taking an in-depth look at the rookie season for each of the Jets' 2019 rookie class. We continue today with a look at tackle Chuma Edoga, who was selected in the third round of this past year's NFL Draft.
Of course, any discussion of the Edoga pick needs to acknowledge the fact that the Jets had already made a pick earlier in the round. That proved disastrous, as edge rusher Jachai Polite had a disappointing training camp and didn't even make it onto the practice squad, let alone the opening day roster.
The Edoga pick was more successful, as the 22-year old made it onto the roster and ultimately made eight starts. However, his rawness was exploited during those appearances, leaving many fans concerned that this will also prove to be a wasted pick. Edoga ended up the season on injured reserve.

Jets safety Jamal Adams has been named an AP first-team All-Pro, it was announced Friday.
Adams, who was named a second-team All-Pro last season, was named to his second straight pro bowl earlier this season.
The star out of LSU has been the anchor of the Jets' defense over the last few seasons and was at the top of nearly every key defensive statistic for Gang Green this year.

Jets 2020 NFL Mock Draft roundup: Here's who the experts have Gang Green taking
A.J. Epenesa, Jerry Jeudy are among the picks
A.J. Epenesa (Kim Klement)
After having the No. 3 pick in the NFL Draft in 2018 and 2019 and nabbing Sam Darnold and Quinnen Williams, the Jets find themselves all the way down at No. 11 for the 2020 draft.
But there will still be plenty of elite players to choose from.
Here's how the latest mocks see things shaking out...

Blueprint for how the Jets should handle their important 2020 offseason
Upgrading the offensive line is a must, while other big decisions loom

Mandatory Credit: Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports (Noah K. Murray)
The Jets' 6-2 finish has given the franchise a renewed sense of hope, even though GM Joe Douglas didn't want to use that word. Hope, he said, is "not a strategy." The only way they can really capitalize on their strong finish is with a plan.
And they'll need a good one, too, because while Douglas is right that "Going 6-2, that's not luck," it's also not the sign of a finished product. The Jets were a disappointing 7-9 overall this season and did not look like a franchise on the verge of a long-awaited breakthrough. They have big, gaping holes throughout their roster.
So there is a lot of work still to do.

Williams was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft

Over the next week or so, we're going to take an in-depth look at the rookie season for each of the Jets' 2019 rookie class. We begin today with a look at the third overall pick, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
When the Jets drafted Williams with the third pick in last April's draft, some questioned the wisdom in selecting yet another interior lineman.
The team was already slated to pay over $14 million to Leonard Williams who was playing out the fifth-year option on his rookie deal. In addition, they had already drafted two interior linemen in 2018 and given a decent-sized contract to Henry Anderson, so depth was not a concern.

Jets' Sam Darnold impresses Joe Douglas by overcoming adversity
Douglas on Darnold: "Not many guys faced more adversity than Sam"

From an off-field bout with mononucleosis to on-field struggles with development, Jets quarterback Sam Darnold's second year in New York ultimately impressed general manager Joe Douglas.
"Talk about toughness and talk about adversity," Douglas said. "Not many guys faced more adversity than Sam, as far as dealing with the mono and some rough patches during the year. But I think the respect that Sam has earned from everyone in this building -- and especially in the locker room -- as far as his ability to handle adversity, to come back, to play really good football, to watch him grow throughout the year, to watch him grow from Year 1 to Year 2, just with everything -- the decision-making, the leadership -- it was really impressive to see."
Darnold went 7-6 as a second-year starter, completing 273 of 441 passes (61.9 percent) for 3,024 yards and 19 touchdowns to 13 interceptions in 13 games.
Jets' Joe Douglas on Robby Anderson: 'He knows how valued he is here'
Anderson is set to hit free agency in 2020 after his first four seasons with the Jets

Upon the completion of his fourth season in the NFL, Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson is set to hit free agency, leaving general manager Joe Douglas with a decision to make.
Anderson was the Jets' second-leading receiver on the 2019 season, a big-play threat with 52 receptions for 779 yards (15.0 average) and five touchdowns in 16 games (15 starts).
After becoming a restricted free agent at the end of the 2018 season, Anderson signed a one-year contract at roughly $3 million. Will he remain with the Jets or explore his options elsewhere?

Jets' Joe Douglas discusses Jamal Adams' looming contract situation
The star safety is eligible to renegotiate his rookie contract
With safety Jamal Adams eligible to renegotiate his rookie contract, the Jets and general manager Joe Douglas have a decision on their hands.
Upon the completion of Year 3 in the NFL, Adams enters 2020 with one year left on the four-year, $22 million deal he signed as the 2017 draft's sixth overall pick.
Speaking at Tuesday's end-of-year press conference as the offseason begins, Douglas acknowledged that the Jets will go over Adams' situation later in the week.
Jets' Joe Douglas won't rule out Le'Veon Bell trade: 'If teams do call, I'm gonna listen'
Adam Gase deferred to Douglas on Monday when asked about Bell
By Danny Abriano | Dec 31, 2019 | 1:28PM
Le'Veon Bell's future with the Jets is up in the air, and GM Joe Douglas did nothing on Tuesday to shut down the trade rumors that have been surrounding the running back for months.
Asked point blank if he wanted Bell to be part of the team next year, Douglas hedged.
"My personal experience with Le'Veon has been very positive," Douglas said. "He's done everything we've asked him to do as a person, as a teammate. ... he's one of our best workers, he's one of our best teammates. He connects and engages with everybody, so I can't say enough positive things about Le'Veon."

The Jets have signed former Cowboys K Brett Maher to a reserve/future contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Maher, 30, was released by Dallas on Dec. 9. At the time, he led the NFL with 10 missed field goal attempts this season.
Overall in 2019, Maher made 20 of 30 kicks, which included going just 5-for-13 from 40 yards and beyond.

Giants GM Dave Gettleman explains rationale for Leonard Williams trade: 'The juice was worth the squeeze'
The Giants traded with the Jets for Williams on Oct. 28

General manager Dave Gettleman stands by the Giants' decision to trade for defensive lineman Leonard Williams from the Jets, although the late-October move did nothing to alter the team's contention for the playoffs.
The Giants gave the Jets a pair of NFL draft picks -- a 2020 third-rounder and a 2021 fifth-rounder -- for Williams, who had little impact on New York's defense in the second half of the 2019 season.
Speaking at Tuesday's end-of-year press conference, where he addressed his return and the Giants' decision to fire head coach Pat Shurmur after two years, Gettleman said that Williams was a move the general manager would do again.

The Jets announced on Monday that the team came to terms with nine players on a reserve/ future contract.
The contract type keeps a player tied to a team but it doesn't go into effect until the new league year in 2020.
Typically the type of contract is used for practice squad players.

Jamison Crowder says Sam Darnold's mono hurt Jets' chemistry building
Crowder led Jets WRs in 2019
The Jets added wide receiver Jamison Crowder last offseason and throughout the tough season for his team, the wideout quietly shined.
In his first season with the Jets, Crowder led the the team in receptions (78), receiving yards (833) and touchdowns (6). His receptions was also a career-high for him personally.
Things got off to a very quick start.

The Jets missed tight end Ryan Griffin over the final three games of the 2019 regular season.
He's slated to miss plenty of more time, too.
Griffin told ESPN during the team's locker cleanout day on Monday that his ankle injury could sideline him up to six months.
