Strong Arm

Duterte is figuratively exercising at the gym of rhetorics. After the tit-for-tat withholding of PH visa  from opposing American legislators, he now instructs ABS-CBN whose renewal of license to operate he says he would not approve, to just sell the network.

Beyond mediation.

Middlesex

This place of exile in UK of the French Knight D'Eon took a double meaning when he cross-dressed even during fencing competition.  He was rumored to have fathered the Prince of Wales then so he thought of this way-out of controversy. (Secrets of History, TV5 Monde)

Mediation goes beyond appearances.

Blind Audition

The Voice is a no-frills singing talent competition where judges hear the contestant with their backs turned.

Much like Justice should be.

Gaya-gaya

Duterte did it again. Now, he is banning American legislators from entering PH, as if they have stash hidden here.

Not a very gay matter.

538 and Me

Comedy Central's Trevor Noah came up with this app to match one's DNA with a compatible candidate among those running in the coming elections.

If only there were an app for the apt Compromise Agreement.

Resolution

Got into the blogsite entries again! But did not write down specific steps to them.

Like a Compromise Agreement, should avoid getting into this dilemma again.

Magnitsky's the limit

Finally, we are heaving a national sigh of relief  as the US, EU, UK, Canada and other countries are jointly serving justice to persons who are corrupt and violate human rights, Duterte and his minions included.

That's international mediation.

MasChrist really

Francis Kong related that Mother Mary had a dream. She told Joseph that all the people celebrated Jesus' birthday. They gave each other presents but did not have any for Jesus.

Mediation gives everyone his due.

Am Baack

Again found the way to my blog!

Much like going back and forth to court in case of a suit.

Smarterphone

Given recently a new mobile phone upon renewal of postpaid contract, had to get used to its new features.

Lost my blogsite and could not retrieve it till today.

Hummingbirds

These smallest birds need nectar almost continuously even in the rain. Thus they have learned to shake off excess water persistently.

Much like the process of mediation.

Wakeari

Meaning "there is a reason" in Japanese, it refers to food less than perfect in presentation and thus valued at a discount.

Our Daily Bread reflected that it could refer to people too, except from God's perspective. Or to a "buyer beware" warning on cheap products.

The Power of Empathy

Our Daily Bread reflected on the R70i Age Suit that is put on by caregivers to experience how their cared for sees, moves and generally functions.

Perhaps mediators can likewise don an M-in-conflict headset.
