Advice to them: stop!

Nuances in communication is important everytime, like  in mediation.

Banksy no more

After auction, this artwork really went gone- as in through a built-in shredder.

Mediation does something like that to conflict.

Spokenperson

Harry Roque seems to be on a hairy roguish situation, to the karmic delight of those in the activist movement he had abandoned for the Palace of his dreams. Now he is left out of the loop too by DU30 and Bong Go who could be eyeing his post.

Mediation puts a premium on credibility and more so integrity.

The Spin Goes On

These cons-pirators are now after students, having failed to implicate the Reds, yellow and Magdalo groups. They should follow their leader who has admitted surely begrudgingly responsibility for the runaway inflation. Deflated ego.

Admission is part of the solution.

Dog Mediator

After the news, Cesar Millan on NATGEO is always good relief. This episode had dog Stella biting a neighbor walking her own pet. That neighbor brought in Cesar to tame bird dog Stella's aggression. Her breed really is meant to just sniff and retrieve fallen prey. Days at Cesar's Dog Psychology Center do the trick.

Successful mediation.

Victoria & Abdul

HBO featured this platonic love story in early 1900 UK. Widowed Queen Victoria took to adopting an Indian sent on her Jubilee as bearer of a token. She even thought of knighting Abdul, to the horror of her son and staff. In the end, she opted to give him the Royal Victorian Order.

Successful self- mediation. 

The Founder

Of McDonald's was a pair of brothers actually who were taken over an enterprising sundae machine salesman, Ray Kroc. In the end, he held the brothers by the neck, stripping them of royalties. When asked if he would settle, he replied probably never.

Failed mediation.

Rolling Stores

They're back as part of the return of the Marcosian legacy. Gathers no more.

Mediation is not one of those bandaid, show-and-tell solutions.

Brexit

UK PM Theresa May "isang accessory" when she again expressed belief in getting out of the EU- a big silver chain necklace that looked like a leash.

Nothing like explaining your side of the conflict.

Abram & Sara

One of the Bible's earliest love stories after Adam & Eve was also beset by infertility. No IVF yet then, they sought the help of a surrogate too. Could this have been the start of the Middle East crisis we have now?

God, the Eternal Mediator, facilitated a better, even miraculous compromise.
