Hezbollah, whose name means "Party of God," is a Lebanese organization of several thousand Shiite militants that opposes the West and Israel, and seeks to create in Lebanon a Muslim fundamentalist state modeled on Iran. Its primary mission is to destroy the state of Israel and, in the process, to murder as many Jews as possible. Describing itself as "an Islamic struggle movement," Hezbollah condemns "the Zionist occupation of Palestine" and candidly states that it "sees no legitimacy for the existence of 'Israel.'" As the Investigative Project on Terrorism puts it: "Hezbollah genuinely believes it has a divine mission to destroy Israel one day."
The Hezbollah Founding Statement contains a section titled "The Necessity for the Destruction of Israel, which reads: "We see in Israel the vanguard of the United States in our Islamic world. It is the hated enemy that must be fought until the hated ones get what they deserve. ... Our primary assumption in our fight against Israel states that the Zionist entity is aggressive from its inception, and built on lands wrested from their owners, at the expense of the rights of the Muslim people. Therefore our struggle will end only when this entity is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no cease fire, and no peace agreements, whether separate or consolidated. We vigorously condemn all plans for negotiation with Israel, and regard all negotiators as enemies, for the reason that such negotiation is nothing but the recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist occupation of Palestine." Inspired by the Iranian Revolution of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Hezbollah was formed in 1982 with the aid of at least 1,500 Iranian Revolutionary Guards; its immediate priority was to fight the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) that occupied Lebanon at the time, and to help spread Khomeini's Revolution across the Muslim world. Embracing the distinctly Shiite Islamist ideology developed by Khomeini, Hezbollah gradually coalesced and grew when a number of Shiite groups -- such as Islamic Jihad, the Organization of the Oppressed on Earth, and the Revolutionary Justice Organization -- were assimilated into it. By 1988 Hezbollah had replaced Amal as the predominant Shiite force in Lebanon. Its base of operation is in Lebanon's Shiite-dominated areas, including parts of Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the Bekaa Valley. Moreover, U.S. intelligence reports say that Hezbollah has set up working cells in Europe, Africa, South America, and North America. According to the U.S. State Department, Hezbollah receives "substantial amounts of financial, training, weapons, explosives, political, diplomatic, and organizational aid from Iran and Syria." As of 2016, Hezbollah's annual budget was approximately $1 billion, of which 70% came from Iran. (In prior years, Iran had accounted for a higher percentage of the group's overall revenues.) Hezbollah uses much of its money to increase the size of its already massive arsenal of surface-to-surface rockets and missiles, of which it had more than 120,000 as of May 2016, making it by far the world's most heavily armed terrorist organization.
Hezbollah plays an important role in Lebanese politics. It won 8 new Parliamentary seats in Lebanon's 2005 elections, giving the group a total of 23 seats in the 128-member Parliament. In addition, two Hezbollah members serve as ministers in the Lebanese government. Hezbollah also operates the Al-Manar satellite television channel and broadcast station. Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, the fiery preacher of jihad, is considered to be Hezbollah's current spiritual leader. Imad Fayez Mugniyah, who trained with Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization in the 1970s, is Hezbollah's key planner of worldwide terrorist operations. And the organization's senior political leader is Hassan Nasrallah, a former military commander who studied in centers of Shiite theology in Iran and Iraq. Between 1982 and 2005, Hezbollah was responsible for some 200 terrorist attacks that killed many hundreds of people. Among these actions were a number of kidnappings of Westerners; the 1983 suicide truck bombings in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. Marines in their barracks; the 1983 U.S. embassy bombing (also in Beirut) that killed killed 63 people, including 17 Americans; the 1983 bombing of the French multinational force headquarters that killed 58 French troops; the 1985 hijacking of TWA flight 847, in which one American passenger was murdered; the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Argentina, which killed 29; and the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Argentina, which killed 95. Hezbollah's popularity in Lebanon received a great boost in May 2000, when Israel withdrew its troops from that country's southern region after having maintained a continuous military presence there for 18 years. Hezbollah depicted the Israeli withdrawal as a great victory for the Muslim "resistance," and continued to periodically shell Israeli forces in the Shebaa Farms border zone. It also continued to work against Israel by: helping terrorists and collaborators use foreign documents to gain passage through the border crossings; establishing a terrorist infrastructure inside Israel and in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip; smuggling weapons and terrorists across Israel's borders; and giving financial support to militant Palestinian organizations. Moreover, between 2000 and 2006 Hezbollah armed itself with an estimated 13,000 military rockets (with ranges of 12 to 40 miles) supplied by Syria and Iran. Since 2003 Hezbollah has worked more closely with other Palestinian terrorist organizations such as Islamic Jihad, Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and, especially, Tanzim. Hezbollah has also been a major supplier of weapons to Hamas. In July 2006 Hezbollah conducted a surprise raid on a border post in northern Israel, taking two Israeli soldiers captive. The abductions prompted an Israeli military campaign against Lebanon, to which Hezbollah responded by firing hindreds of rockets across the Lebanese border and into heavily populated Israeli cities. It launched these rockets from civilian areas in Lebanon, making it impossible for Israel to retaliate without causing civilian casualties, which Hezbollah then exploited for propaganda purposes. On July 14, 2006, Hezbollah struck an Israeli Saar 5-class missile ship and an Egyptian-crewed cargo ship with highly sophisticated C-802 anti-ship missiles. Manufactured in China, these missiles need highly trained operators to crew them -- a function that most likely was performed by Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops. The fighting continued for a month, during which Israel targeted many Hezbollah strongholds, and Hezbollah launched more than 4,000 rockets into Israeli cities, killing 43 people and injuring thousands. On December 10, 2006, hundreds of thousands of Hezbollah members and their Shiite allies rallied to demand that Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, a Sunni, establish a "national unity government" wherein Hezbollah would be allotted one-third of all Cabinet posts. Hezbollah deputy leader Sheik Naim Kassem declared that his side was willing to stage street protests for months to achieve its goal. "Does Bush want popular expression in Lebanon?" Kassem thundered to the crowd. "Do the West and the Arabs want to hear the voice of the people in Lebanon? Tell them 'Death to America!' Tell them 'Death to Israel!'" In May 2007 Kassem stated that all of his organization's policies and activities are coordinated with, and ultimately controlled by, Iranian leadership. "Even when it comes to firing rockets on Israeli civilians, when they [Israel] bombed the civilians on our side, even that decision requires an in-principle permission from [the ruling jurisprudent]," Kassem said in reference to Supreme Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. "Hezbollah relied and relies still in its Islamic religious position, which has to do with its activity in general and its jihadist activity in particular, on the decision of [Khamenei]. The ruling jurisprudent is the one who allows and the one who prohibits." Also in May 2007, it was reported that Hezbollah had set up a training facility in a relatively secluded area on the Paraguay-Argentina-Brazil border, in preparation for attacks against the United States. In July 2007, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said -- in an interview aired by Al-Jazeera and Al-Manar television -- that his group possessed an arsenal of rockets capable of reaching "any corner and any point in occupied Palestine" (i.e., Israel), including Tel Aviv. At a nine-nation security conference held in Jerusalem in May 2008, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said that Hezbollah -- "in terms of capabilities, in terms of range of weapons they have, in terms of internal discipline" -- makes al Qaeda look like "a minor league team." Israeli analysts agreed that Hezbollah was the top terrorist organization in the world. According to Dr. Walid Phares, director of the Future Terrorism Project at the Washington-based Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had "basically defeated" American efforts to build democracy in Lebanon. "His model will be used [by Hamas] in Gaza," said Phares. in 2009, Hezbollah joined the Lebanese government and won virtual veto power over all its decisions. Hezbollah brought down that government on January 12, 2011, after Prime Minister Saad Hariri refused to obey the group's demand that he stop cooperating with a United Nations-backed tribunal investigating the 2005 assassination of his father, former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. In response to Hariri's refusal, Hezbollah and its allies resigned from the Cabinet, thereby forcing the government's collapse. Both sides then began scrambling to secure the support of at least 65 lawmakers, the number needed to form a government in Lebanon's 128-seat Parliament. On January 24, Hezbollah succeeded in securing that support. This set the stage for the group to name its own candidate, billionaire businessman Najib Mikati, as the nation's next prime minister. In August 2011, Walid Sakariya -- a Hezbollah member of Lebanon's parliament -- predicted that Israel would be destroyed by a "Shiite crescent" in a war with hundreds of thousands of deaths. This war, he said, could commence after two things happened: (a) Iraq was absorbed into Iran's bloc after a U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq, and (b) the Syrian regime managed to put down the popular uprising against it. Those prerequisites, Sakariya explained, would enable the formation of an Iranian-Syrian-Hezbollah axis capable of mobilizing more than 100 million people in a war against Israel. In September 2011, the Italian daily Corriere della Sera reported that Hezbollah is setting up a base of operations in Cuba in order to extend its ability to reach Israeli targets in Latin America. According to the Tel Aviv daily Yedioth Ahronoth, three Hezbollah members had already arrived in Cuba to set up the base, which was to "include 23 operatives, hand-picked by Talal Hamia, a senior member tasked with heading the covert operation." Hezbollah referred to the project as "The Caribbean Case." On May 9, 2013 -- a week after Israel had bombed Iranian missiles that were sent to Syria for delivery to Hezbollah -- Hezbollah supreme leader Hassan Nasrallah boasted that the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad would ship "game-changing" weapons to the terrorist organization.

What is/will be the subject of your next book?
I've been researching my next novel, with a working title of Paranoia Unleashed, for some time. The formal research only begun in March this year but the informal, the knowledge that grows from the fallen seed, has been in progress for the past six years or so. I posted some of my research findings early in 2015 with the intention of posting progress reports along the way.
In Paranoia Unleashed, the protagonist has a Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD). This is the anguish-filled normality of his life that impels him to seek retribution for slights against him, real or imagined, going to inordinate lengths to create 'evidence' to substantiate his claims of persecution. This, in turn becomes part of the 'grooming kit' he uses to isolate and control others in order to validate the beliefs formed by his paranoia. It is his reality.
A significant part of this novel centres on a smear campaign conducted against family members over a period of years and the ever-widening impact this has resulting in irreparable damage. The end, when it comes, will be catastrophic for some and liberating for others, it will indeed be the final chapter.

Physiotherapists and podiatrists are able to refer you for XR and MRI's at certain radiology practices, that offer 'non-rebatable' investigations, which essentially means you are able to access these services at a slightly lower Medicare rebate.


text: This weeks theme will be patterns. Photographers, including myself, are fascinated with patterns. I think that is because, unlike painters, we deal with physically moving our position and the position of our tools (tripod,lens,etc.)to compose an image. Of course there are patterns in everything, but this weeks images will focus on images that I like primarily because of their repetitive patterns. This one was taken along the Chicago river on the Architectural tour. You can see other images and buy prints of this one at my commercial gallery.

Blame it on the popularity of the Anime, Korean Telenovelas and the Harajuku girls. The Asian haircut and hairstyle is the hottest hairdo of the decade and I guess they are here to stay.
I've been looking for a place to get this hairdo and finally I found the salon that can give me the Korean/ Japanese inspired haircut I've been wanting to have for a long time, Thanks to Bench Fix Salon. The place is very classy to almost intimidating at first but when you get inside you will be greated by their staff and the stylist are very professional.
I told the stylist that I want a Korean hairstyle but he told me that that hairstyle usually makes the hair shorter so he suggested to make a similar look but keep my hairlenght. I was happy with the result. What's great was I only paid Php128 or $2.7.
I went to their SM Fairview branch and I was happy to see that the customers of all ages and gender are strutting their new haircut after leaving the salon.
Japanese/ Korean hairstyle are very edgy and unique. The element of this hairstyle is the bangs where the face is slightly covered to give that mysterious look. The layers are not as thick as the usual layered cut it's less on volume and more on texture. The focus is to compliment the face and bring out the eyes.

These days in the 21st century, there is a lot of information out there. In fact, there is too much information out there.
That was such a vague statement but just hear me out. When we get a research project in school, whichever subject it may be, we all have a tendency to sit down and stare at the prompt, with absolutely no idea of where to start.
Why is that? That's because if we just type the prompt into a Google search, we will actually get nothing we need. Okay, okay, nothing may be too strong of a word to use here. But the information we get will definitely be superficial. It will only skim the surface and if we were to write an essay about this, half of the things written down will be either made up or concluded.
I remember in 3rd grade, I had to do a research project about an animal of Kenya and I chose a flamingo. There are two things I remember from that project. One, a flamingo has only one nostril. It has two holes, but it's one long one. This is because when it's feeding, it's whole beak is in water and it needs the water to pass through, not remaining inside.
Two, the thing I inserted in the Google search read, "flamingos animal of Kenya but not the hotel also a big bird." It was actually crazy. Even back then as a 3rd grader, I remember looking at my search engine and feeling slightly more stupid than normal.
There are a lot of hotels called Flamingo all over the world. So it makes sense that when I type in "flamingo" into the search engine, I'll just get results about hotels on the coast of some country. And when I am actually looking for a hotel, it'll give me results about the bird. Google tends to hate its clients at times.That's why I tried to be the most specific I could be.
Even now, as an 11th grade student, I hopelessly search Google for hours and barely get any information out of it. It may partially be because I get distracted by the internet in general, but it also is that there's too much information, too much of which is not what I actually want.
For example, my English class recently got a research project. We are to research about how an American poet rebels to society. Good luck finding that on Google. To actually get information on this, I can't type in, "How does Shel Silverstein rebel to society?" and actually expect to get some great information.
Instead, I have to come up with different research facts that will eventually all connect with and lead to the big final question. That's why research papers take forever. It doesn't take that long to write, but it takes forever to gather information that is actually fully relevant to and fit for the occasion, sadly.
So as the writer and creator of a research paper and project, I have to go that far for the information and facts because there will be people reading my work and believing it.
Honestly, I'm actually not sure if the nostril fact is a fact or something my creative 3rd grade mind made up, so don't take my word for it. But as a reader, you believed it because it was something new, something cool.

Every time I have to reboot my wireless router, I cross my fingers and hope nothing will go wrong. Superstitious, sure, but anything to avoid the personal technology hell that is tinkering with that mysterious box at the core of my home's Wi-Fi network.
Plugging and unplugging cords, going cross-eyed reading manuals with more acronyms than the military—it's no wonder I haven't upgraded my router in four years.
But trying to avoid that little blinking machine turns out to have been my gravest tech mistake in years. I've been missing out on faster speeds, better security protection, new networking features—even some awesome-looking new router hardware designs.
Yes, I just used "awesome-looking" and "router" in the same sentence. D-Link's Corvette-red $310 AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi is a cross between an alien spaceship and an upside-down crab. Netgear's $300 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 looks like it could speed out of the Bat Cave. Both promise the fastest Wi-Fi speed available.
But why should you mess with a box that still works—or was handed to you by your cable provider? Well, are there rooms in your house where Wi-Fi can't be accessed? Can only one person stream Netflix at a time? Ever wonder who else is using your network? If you answered "yes" to any of those, it's time to upgrade.
And while you may not need a fancy $300 model, in an age when everything from our TVs to our toaster ovens are connecting to the Internet, it's best not to cheap out on that all-important hub.
For the past week, I've been living a networking nightmare, testing 10 routers in both a one-bedroom city apartment and a big suburban house. Now that I've done the hard work, it's time for you to learn (the easy way) the best approach to upgrading your home Wi-Fi network.
If you remember anything from this article, it should be this: Buy an "802.11ac" router.
Those who haven't upgraded a router lately probably have an 802.11n or 802.11g router. AC is the newest and fastest wireless standard available. (Even a kindergartner would be insulted by the nonsensical alphabetic ordering on these things.)
Many of the latest phones, tablets, laptops, TV set-top boxes and other connected devices in your home now have faster, more finely tuned AC radios and antennas inside, but they're only better when connected to an AC wireless network. (If you have an older desktop or laptop, AC wireless USB adapters sell for under $50.)
Bear in mind, you won't get faster Internet speeds from a new AC router—that depends entirely on your Internet service plan.
What you will get, provided you have AC-equipped devices, is less degraded speeds at longer distances, and better performance when transferring data from one device to another. When I tossed out my ancient N router this week for an AC router, surfing the Web on the latest-generation MacBook Air from two rooms away was twice as fast.
Deciding what type of AC router to get can make your brain hurt. Router makers still confuse shoppers with speed claims we'll never get and terms we don't understand. And service providers try to rent you combo modem-routers that lack flexibility and—in many cases—power, while quietly adding up in cost, month after month.
To help make sense of it all, I enlisted Tim Higgins, managing editor of SmallNetBuilder, a router reviews site. You should consider AC routers that range in classification from AC1200 at the lower end to AC3200 at the high end, he said. In larger homes, the pricier models should deliver faster speeds at greater distances.
As you might expect, in my New York City apartment, I saw no performance difference between three AC routers: a $100 model, a $180 model and that "Ultra" $310 model. The space simply wasn't big enough.
But in my parents' larger home, the top-of-the-line D-Link AC3200 and Netgear's Nighthawk AC1900 routers provided better speeds—and smoother, higher-quality Netflix streaming—than the competition at various points around the house, especially when I got farther away from the boxes.
Even with six multi-directional antennas, however, the D-Link's range wasn't greater than lower-grade AC models (though AC range was, across the board, noticeably better than older routers). Think of it this way: With AC3200 routers, the data highway gets wider but not longer. In my mom's office, a known dead zone 75 feet from the router, there was still no Wi-Fi signal.
One way to avoid dead zones like that is to find a better home for the router. "Router placement is going to buy you the best performance improvement," Mr. Higgins told me. Place your router in the middle of the house, he says, in an area where it isn't obstructed by, say, a cabinet or closet.
For spots that still don't get signal, you need a network extender—a second wireless router or a pair of plug-in-the-wall "powerline" networking boxes such as the $65 Linksys PLSK400 powerline adapter set.
Beyond speed, the other big benefit of the priciest AC3200 routers is that they were designed with lots of connected devices in mind. Behind the scenes, they operate three separate networks, while cheaper (and older) routers only have two. This means your devices don't have to compete. That bandwidth-hogging Xbox could live on one network, the new smart TV on a second, and various laptops, tablets and phones on a third.
Those faster speeds and smarter connections won't do you any good if you can't set the darn thing up. The second thing you should remember from this article: Pick a router that's easy to set up and manage.
That's why I don't recommend TPLink. The Chinese company has great deals on AC routers, making it one of the most popular buys on Amazon. But its setup tool looks like it was designed in the early '90s, and you have to have networking experience even to change the network password.
Netgear and Linksys, on the other hand, were the easiest to set up and manage on a Windows PC, while Apple's AirPort Extreme was dead simple on a Mac—or even an iPad or iPhone, using the Airport Utility app.
The torturous psychodrama of setting up a router is no more. It's as simple as connecting your computer, tablet or phone to the router's network, then following guided steps in any Web browser. You don't have to download any additional software, though some apps can be helpful.
My favorite routers from Linksys, Netgear, D-Link and Apple all let you easily set up security, manage guests and see what devices are on your network. The Linksys Android and iPhone apps even let you check in on your home network while you're away. Netgear has also begun rolling out the feature.
Let's stop right here a second: Do you have a password protecting your Wi-Fi network? If not, then don't complain when you get hacked.
Fortunately, all the new routers come password protected out of the box. In fact, Netgear, Linksys and D-Link told me that every router comes with a unique name and password. While this is relatively safe, security experts do recommend picking your own name and strong password during setup.
When you're in the security settings, always make sure that AES/WPA2 encryption is selected. Also, stay on top of updating your router's firmware. This may mean logging into your router every month or two. Netgear's Genie app alerts you when a new security update is available, and Linksys gives you the option to install updates automatically at night.
So, which router did I upgrade to? For my apartment, I decided to go with Netgear's $180 Nighthawk AC1900. It's more than enough for my wireless needs. If you have a larger house with lots of connected devices, clear a landing pad for D-Link's AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi router. Sure, it looks ferocious, but I promise, there is no reason to be scared of the blinking box in the corner anymore.

There is a mild to moderate aversion in some Christian circles toward talking about the benefits of knowing God. This aversion is a reaction to our tendency to approach God as consumers. "What can you do for me, God? I'll consider Christianity based on your answer." But I think we can go too far and ignore the fact that to know God is to have some pretty amazing things. Psalm 16 mentions 7 in particular (all verses from the CSB).
First, to know God is to have protection. Verse 1: "Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you." David appears to have been in crisis, a common occurrence based on all the Psalms he wrote. Yet in these crises, David knew God had his back. To know God is to have His protection.
Second, to know God is to have provision. Verse 2: "I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
I have nothing good besides you." God knows all of our needs. Yet what kind of God would know our needs and not give them to us? Fortunately, to know God is to have His good and perfect provision.
Third, to know God is to be drawn to those who are righteous. Verse 3: "As for the holy people who are in the land, they are the noble ones. All my delight is in them." Our relationship with God is not a solitary one. To know Him is to know His people who are in the same relationship with Him as we are. Not only know them, but desire to grow with them and delight in knowing them.
Fourth, to know God is to be troubled by sin. Verse 4: "The sorrows of those who take another god for themselves will multiply; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, and I will not speak their names with my lips." Sin and the danger associated with it is ever-present. We are under a constant barrage of temptation to worship other gods. That God protects us, provides for us, and gives us a desire for His righteousness does not lead us to be ignorant or absent from the brokenness of our world. To know God is to be aware of sin.
Fifth, to know God is to be joyfully content. Verses 5-6: "Lord, you are my portion and my cup of blessing; you hold my future. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance." David's life was full of strife, but also full of God. To know God is to be joyfully content in all circumstances because He is enough. Like Paul, David knew the secret of contentment; namely, knowing God.
Sixth, to know God is to be faithfully guided. Verses 7-8: "I will bless the Lord who counsels me—even at night when my thoughts trouble me. I always let the Lord guide me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken." I'm coming up on 10 years of living in the Nashville area. Therefore, I rarely use my phone for directions. Familiarity with my surroundings has bred a spirit of independence when it comes to getting where I need to be. Life, however, will never be so familiar. I'm in constant need of guidance and counsel, and I have it because I know God.
Seventh, to know God is to claim Jesus' future as my own. Verses 9-11: "Therefore my heart is glad and my whole being rejoices; my body also rests securely. For you will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful one to see decay. You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures." Though he likely did understand how or why he could enjoy God eternally, David certainly anticipated doing just that. On this side of Jesus, we now know exactly how this eternal benefit of knowing God will come (see, for example, 1 Corinthians 15). Our knowledge of God does not end with our last breaths; rather, there is a sense in which it only just begins.
I understand the fears associated with talking about the benefits of knowing God, but I also understand the dangers of not talking about them at all. We do ourselves and the lost world a great disservice if we neglect the good news of what it means to know God.

I am going to get on a bit of a soap box here, folks. I hope this doesn't offend anyone.
Teenage bullying has been a hot topic for the past couple of years as our culture has become increasingly aware of its impact on our youth and their peace of mind and quality of life. Something that we very rarely hear about, however, is adult bullying. This past week and a half I had the extreme displeasure of meeting (and accidentally becoming the target of) an adult bully.
I don't plan to get into heavy detail at all here; my intent is not to vent, or even to make this incident public, but I do want to help make people aware that there are times in your life when you may encounter bullies as adults. I honestly had no idea they existed. I believed that every nasty little bully-kid grew up to be an enlightened and at-least-slightly-compassionate individual. My naivety knows no bounds. 🙂
My first encounter with the bully came after receiving many warnings from mutual acquaintances that I had made myself present on his radar. He and I had overlapping responsibilities at an event, and it basically ended up that we each believed the other was picking up more of this responsibility than ourselves so certain things were not getting done. Gosh I hope this isn't too cryptic. I could've confronted him about the things he was not doing; he could've confronted me about the things I was not doing. When I realized that our "system" was falling short, I vowed to take more responsibility and that was that in my mind, until I was notified that he and I "had to have a serious discussion".
Great, I thought. Just what I need. Some angry confrontation between myself and someone I've never even really met before where I hold my tongue about how he dropped the ball, while getting my face rudely rubbed in the ball that I had dropped.
See, I have a tendency to avoid confrontation in my business world. I have an incredibly short temper, an unhealthy dose of pride, a sharp tongue and a tendency to say intensely mean and offensive things when I get really upset. Oh, and sometimes I cry when I get super angry. That sucks. I recognize these characteristics in myself and over the past ten years have managed to form a system of checks and balances to keep myself (at least appearing) calm and understanding.
So. The confrontation happened and the bully used so many "You" statements and dropped so many names I lost count in the first few minutes. Oh boy, it was a whopper, and I was not prepared. He pointed at my chest with nearly every sentence. he talked with his head tilted back so that he had to look down at me. He held his arms planted firmly on his hips and he even did this scary little head-twisty thing while not blinking that was so over the top that it pulled me firmly out of the confrontation and into my head.
I realized I've seen this behavior before. I've seen it in horses and dogs that I've trained when stress is so high that they just can't handle the situation anymore without becoming precariously poised on the edge of aggression. Once I became a little more aware of what was being displayed in front of me, I realized that this poor bully was wild with stress. he was beyond reason and had gone to that scary place that I know I am capable of reaching quickly when I feel threatened.
The rest of the conversation I attempted to diffuse, carefully, like a touchy bomb (or maybe more like a stack of sweating dynamite – it wasn't quite as easy to navigate as a bomb). I spoke quietly and dropped my arms to my sides to open my body language, to remain confident but non-defensive. I became aware of my blinking and slowed it to a natural rate and I began to use "I" statements in a passive way, breathing deeply and taking the responsibility not only because I recognized that there had been a miscommunication and this bully believed the responsibility was mine, but because I realized that if this bully standing before me was not going to be rational, there was nothing left but to be hyper-rational myself. I didn't really want to be stuck in a deadlock for the rest of my day, staring him down and telling him he was wrong, and the truth of the matter was that we were both wrong. And right. The conflict had arisen from one big communication meltdown and there was not real resolution but to accept that miscommunication. Ah well.
So the conversation diffused, we went our grumpy ways and I believed that for the most part things were done. However. The one piece of this story that I have left out is that this entire exchanged happened in front of some of his peers. These were peers who he had established relationships with, who he worked with and these were people who knew (and had experienced) his temper and they had expected a totally different end to the conversation. I had no frame of reference, so I didn't know that it's not often that confrontations with this bully end so peacefully.
The thing about bullies – any bully, whether adult or youth – is that they have established their bullying relationships with all of their peers, even friends. When someone publicly refuses to rise to a bait, it is nothing but the very worst loss possible to a bully. It questions your hold over your peers and makes you seem less effective as an authority figure. I get that now.
It has been a week and a half of this exchange and the bully has finally found a place where he could firmly stand as an authority figure over me. He has authority over a few of my students in a certain organization and began intimidating them here and there, ending in a grand finale where he got my students removed from this organization that they had been proudly and firmly involved in. It's disgusting, and it's not to be helped.
He won, we yielded.
Except he didn't win.
That's the thing I've learned in all of this. When dealing with an adult bully, the important thing to remember is that we, as humans, aren't bullies by nature unless nature shapes us that way. A grown bully is an ugly thing, but it's also a thing to think on – to be pondered. This bully's life is structured around his bullying behaviours. It's structured around his verbal and emotional abuse and I can now see how that abusive behaviour likely permeates everything that he does and is.
Youth bullies are children who feel threatened, and given the right support can grow out of their bullying and into compassionate, understanding and aware young adults.
Adult bullies feel threatened as well, but when that pattern has become so engrained in them that it becomes who they truly are, I worry that there isn't much that can teach them to become self-aware and empathetic.
My advice to anyone who ever encounters a bully as an adult is to keep this in mind. Bullies feed off of the stress that they cause in others. They need to see this inflicted stress in others in order to feel like they're validated. Even if you survive your bout of being bullied, it's possible they'll take it to the next level, but even then it is important to see, and to help others to see, that a bully is nothing more than a person who feels scared and trapped in their own little corner of negativity.
Breathe and let the river flow around you.
Bullying can create bullies of all of us, but they can also create compassionate and enlightened individuals.
Have you ever been the victim of adult bullying? How did you cope?

LANCASTER — A 33-year-old Brooklyn man is accused of sexually assaulting a young girl at a home in Lancaster between 2006 and 2012, police say.
Vincent Ammarito is charged with committing various sexual acts with the girl, who was four years old when the alleged abuse began.
The girl, now 14, reported the abuse to police in February.
Police say the incidents occurred at a home on the 500 block of Poplar Street.
Ammarito is charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, aggravated indecent assault of a child, unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors, and indecent assault. All are felony charges.
He is also charged with misdemeanor counts of corruption of minors and indecent exposure, police say.
Ammarito was charged on September 6 and arraigned on October 2 before District Judge Adam Witkonis. He was committed to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $300,000 bail.

Q From Arthur Middleton: In the British TV series Are You Being Served a cat is often referred to as a moggy (I'm not sure of the spelling). Can you explain the derivation of this?
A Though I have to tell you that Are You Being Served has hardly been shown on British televisions for the better part of twenty years, that word is still common, often spelled moggie and sometimes shortened to mog. The latter often refers to a feline of undistinguished type and manners, the cat equivalent of a mongrel dog, but in general usage the former is just a pet name for any domesticated cat. It seems to be from Maggie, the affectionate short form of Margaret. In the eighteenth century, this was applied as a name for a cow or calf. In the nineteenth century it could refer to an untidily dressed woman or slattern. It was only in the twentieth century that it became a pet name for a cat. How or why the sense shifted in this way is not understood. Eric Partridge, in his Dictionary of Historical Slang implies that the cat sense may be Cockney rhyming slang, but I can find no evidence for that origin.

Police searchers have been scouring a small area off the Coromandel coastline for an oil slick in their hunt for a small biplane that disappeared after take off yesterday morning.
The home-made aircraft, believed to have been owned and piloted by Auckland man Daroish Kraidy, took off from Ardmore airfield at 11.25am yesterday.
The 53-year-old was the sole occupant of the aerobatic plane, which was heading northeast when it disappeared from radar shortly after take-off.
Auckland Westpac Trust Rescue Helicopter spotted the oil slick about 300m to 400m off the Coromandel Peninsula coast this morning, the Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) Search and Rescue Mission Controller Neville Blakemore said.
It sent the Auckland police launch Deodar to investigate but it was unable to find the small slick, estimated to be about 30m long.
The boat was still in the area off Wainuiototo Bay searching with sonar, and the help of the police dive squad.
An RNZAF P3 Orion also searched around the northeast of Great Barrier Island, and the Trustpower Rescue Helicopter from Tauranga searched the coast between Waihi and Whitianga, Mr Blackmore said.
No distress beacon had been activated, but a search was launched after a friend of the pilot reported concern for his safety.
Reported sightings by members of the public indicated the plane might have continued flying in a northeasterly direction, Mr Blackmore said.
Further options for continuing the search would be evaluated overnight, he said.
Mr Kraidy, 53, is a listed shareholder and director of Hobby City. He lives in Mission Bay according to the electoral roll.
A Hobby City employee would not comment this morning but a source confirmed to APNZ that Mr Kraidy, whose Facebook page said he studied at Rhodes University in South Africa, was the missing pilot.
Mr Kraidy was reportedly a former South African air force pilot who had represented New Zealand at the Precision Flying World Championships.

This is fascinating. I wanted to know more about how the gaming dens work. Here are a few questions:
– Are the prices for a full game, and how long does that game last?
– Do the owners of the den mind if others watch and don't have money to play?
– You showed the clients playing football games. Do they play other games, too? If so, which games are the most popular?
– Where are the dens located? Are they in the slum or outside? The flat screen TVs and Playstations seem very fancy. Is it safe? Do the owners worry about theft?
Thank you very much for bringing these fascinating stories to the world. We care very much, and look forward to more African Slum Journal!

It's a huge buzzword in this day and age. With some many different ways to market yourself, build an audience, be memorable, branding is key to growth. Good branding is the difference between incremental growth and exponential growth.
I blog at least once, sometimes as many as three times a day here on HoustonPress.com. How do I know I've become inextricably linked to a gimmick or theme?
My girlfriend Amy sent me the YouTube that I'm about to break down and said, "You should really Zapruder this." So if any of you postgraduate marketing professors are looking for a case study in branding, my email is at the bottom of this post.
Oh, and here's the video that Amy sent to me, courtesy of the 400 level of Toyota Center for Blazers-Rockets Game 2:
Pretty solid fight, with a nice high spot at 0:33. Vince McMahon would be proud. Let's Zapruder this thing....
0:01 -- All right, it's tough to distinguish sides in all of this, but we will do our best. It appears to go like this:
* In the front row of the upper deck (Danger rating A+++), we have a woman in Daisy Dukes and a James Harden jersey (with presumably the worst teeth in the world to pay homage to both the Dukes and Harden) in a tussle with some chick sitting down in her seat. A couple of other folks are getting grabby from the stairway.
* A second amply torsoed gal sitting in the second row is being yanked by her hair, as if her skull is carrying a bowling ball, by someone wearing a Dwight Howard jersey. Also, one other chick in a red T-shirt two steps up is being held back by some dude.
* Someone in a Jeremy Lin throwback (to a time when Lin wasn't even on the team!) is sitting on some dude's lap, and they look terrified. Also, some old guy in the complementary red T-shirt is sitting and for most of the video acting like nothing is going on, as if making eye contact means he's gonna get his ass kicked.
0:18 -- The first 18 seconds or so is largely rest holds with the occasional left-handed jab thrown by Daisy Duke Harden, kind of like when two UFC fighters are totally gassed and molesting each other on the mat. It would be kind of hot if they were all swimsuit models. But they are not, and therefore, we need some punches here soon or the audience is going to begin chanting "BOOOORRRRING.....BOOOOORRRING..." (By the way, how awesome would catcalls at fan fights be? "YOU F**KED UP!!" and some Daniel Bryan YES! cheers...)
0:24 -- A second Daisy Duke Harden steps over the seats in the first row like Andre the Giant stepping over the top rope, and I realize that she would be much cooler if she were wearing a James Harden one-shoulder-strap singlet like Andre in Wrestlemania III.
0:25 -- Wow, now that I examine more closely, there's ANOTHER Daisy Duke Harden standing watching in Row 2! This is like when multiple Doink the Clowns started showing up in WWE back in 1993. Exact. Same. Thing.
0:27 -- Yowza, Daisy Duke #2 is a mean bitch. She grabs the leg of the person in the seat and tries to yank it off of her torso, the same way you pull a drumstick off of a rotisserie chicken. This is getting good! Good like rotisserie chicken!
0:30 -- If you listen carefully, you can hear Daisy Duke #2 growling, "Maaake a wiiisssshhh....."
0:31 -- Okay, now the leg is pushed so far back that it's getting either really kinky or really weird, depending on how you feel about heavyset women in cutoffs and James Harden jerseys. But wait....what's happening....I hear footsteps....wait, NO....
0:34 -- A kick square to the face, and no Zapruder wisecracking here; that could have ended really badly, seeing as, y'know, the drop from 400 level at Toyota Center is about 100 feet. Seriously, that this is all going on in the front row should scare the shit out of anyone sitting right beneath the crest of the upper balcony.
0:39 -- Honestly, the kick was pretty damn impressive, even if it was a cheap shot.

0:52 -- Security finally makes its way over to the fight, with the self-awareness and want-to of a government worker at the DMV, and we are left with a cliffhanger, with the multiple Daisy Duke Hardens still placing a beatdown on the poor woman sitting in her seat.
I'm going to assume this ended with each Daisy Duke Harden dismembering a limb from the victim and sitting calmly in her seat eating it like a drumstick as LaMarcus Aldridge lit up the Rockets throughout the second half.
Hopefully, there will be a rematch in Game 5. Hopefully, there will be a Game 5.

What We Want From Work
We first seek out work to pay the bills. Eventually, though, we realize that the paycheck just isn't enough to endure the daily struggle of employment. Once our base needs are met, we start pursuing something more.
Murdering Perfectionism
If you're one of the
five regular readers of my blog, you'll notice that I've been posting more after my "one month" break. One post every weekday. My intention is to keep this pace for a year, because I want to train myself to work ahead and write with more brevity. I'm trying to kill off that procrastinating perfectionist part of me, so I can become better at finishing.
I want us to be a generation of finishers. I want us to be a generation of people who follow through and sew the last stitch or give the final keynote or write the last chapter.
And in order to get there, we have to murder perfectionism. I was going to write, "put perfectionism to bed," but that sounded too tender for this particular monster. Murder feels right.
How do we do that? There are a number of ways. Books like Getting Things Done by David Allen are great at helping you get organized and in motion. Men's magazines offer monthly tips on productivity with the least effort expended. But I tend to think that the simpler I keep my tools, the more likely I am to actually use them. And there is one idea that changed the way I looked at perfectionism. Bumping into this truth radically rewired my ability to finish. Here's what I learned: 90 percent perfect and shared with the world always changes more lives than 100 percent perfect and stuck in your head.
That's it. I admit it's simple. But it's also true.
The things you create and share will always out-perform the things that stay stuck in your head or your desk or your laptop. You might love the ideas you have inside you. You might be more proud of them than any other project you've ever put together. But if you don't follow through with them, they won't do much good.
Jon Acuff, Quitter
When I write, I can spend hours as I cross every "I" and dot every "T" that I see. Tens of thousands of keystrokes (many of them 'backspace') can go into each post as I try to explicitly clarify every point and counter every argument that crosses my overactive imagination. That's too much effort for the quality of work I'm producing, and I'm putting an end to it.
I'm letting myself off the hook, and posting the 90%. I'm giving myself the margin to share more, and more frequently. I'm ignoring the perfectionist. So, here I am writing this a week and a half before I'm planning on posting it, and once I'm done with the next four sentences, I'm not going to touch it again. Hope you enjoy it.
What kinds of things have you kept stuck in your head, because they aren't "perfect" yet? What good things is your perfectionism keeping from the world? Time to get out the long knives and put it down.
