How Does a Mediator Work?


 
I love my iPhone.  I use it for everything including listening to podcasts.  One of the podcasts I listen to is Working.  Slate interviews Americans with interesting jobs.   I was pleasantly surprised when a recent podcast was “How Does a Mediator Work.”  It was an interview with Elizabeth Clemants who is not only a New York mediator but a shaman.  Interesting combination of roles.  I must admit I was a little suspicious but the podcast was very interesting. Did not agree with all Ms. Clemants said but she said many things I could relate to.  You can hear the podcast at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/slates-working/id930665651?mt=2

300th Mediation Blog


 
This is our 300th blog.  Only 299 because we deleted one.  It is hard to believe we have been actively doing blogs since January 1, 2008.  As of the writing of this blog we have had 29,819 page views.  The most page viewed are Divorce Proverbs and Aphorisms with 1735, Divorce and Marriage Acronyms with 947, Best and Worst States for Getting Divorced with 449, Dementia and Divorce with 375, Humor in Mediation and Divorce with 346, Best Divorce Mediators with 340, Divorce Haiku with 296, New Arizona Child Support Guidelines with 261, Three Little Pigs Go to Mediation with 219, and If Things Fall Apart, Who Gets the Ring? with 211.  Top countries represented by page views are United States with 15072, France with 1420, Russia with 1375, Germany with 1227, United Kingdom with 660, Ukraine with 569, Canada with 497, Poland with 368, India with 334, and China with 319.  Pattern of most viewed pages seems to be people looking for information specific divorce issues or looking for humor or wisdom.  I have no idea why there are so many views from countries other than the United States and in particular former Communist countries.  Perhaps there are people in these countries contemplating marrying United States citizens and then getting divorced.
