Volume 18, Issue 42; October 17, 2018: Overt Belligerence in Meetings
Overt Belligerence in Meetings
Some meetings lose their way in vain attempts to mollify a belligerent participant who simply will not be mollified. Here's one scenario that fits this pattern.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) speaks at a recent Senate hearing. His belligerence is overt and evident. It had a powerful effect. Image from U.S. Senate video.
The dictionary definition of belligerence is "…a hostile or warlike attitude, nature, or inclination." Because that covers so much territory, I want to consider — for now — just a small part of it. Overt belligerence is belligerence that's unconcealed and on display for all to see. It might be accidentally revealed, as in a display of anger, or it might be quite intentionally used as a tool, for example, in an attempt to intimidate an individual or group, or an attempt to disrupt a meeting.
Let me make the topic narrower still. Those who are belligerent by nature become known to all rather quickly in today's team-oriented workplaces. Unless the belligerent-by-nature possess great organizational power, they don't last long. So — again, for now — let me focus on the kind of belligerence that's associated with a hostile or warlike attitude, or inclination, and let me set aside the kind of belligerence that arises from the nature of the belligerent.
One more refinement. Belligerent behavior between two individuals in private at work can be expensive. For example, they might need to work together effectively to accomplish an important organizational goal. If they cannot accomplish that goal, the costs can be unbearable. But belligerent behavior in group settings — usually we call them "meetings" — can be far more expensive, because so many more people are involved, and the clock is running. That's my focus for now: overt belligerence in meetings, when the belligerence arises from a hostile attitude or inclination.
In this article, Belligerent behavior in group
settings can be expensive, because
so many people are involved,
and the clock is runningI'll address a generic belligerence situation. There are specific situations for which specific responses might be more effective, but the generic situation is a good place to start to illustrate general principles. Send me mail if you have a specific case you'd like me to examine.
In what follows, I'll use the name Brad to indicate the person whose behavior is belligerent.
In dealing with any objector one must begin by determining whether the objector is a sincere objector or a belligerent. The difference between a sincere objector and a belligerent can be subtle, because the objections of both can be sincere. The distinguishing characteristic of the belligerent — Brad — is this: although the objection is sincere, the attack itself is what really motivates him. For the belligerent, the attack is the thing. An example might clarify the distinction.
Typically, belligerent behavior involves registering some kind of complaint, in the form of an attack. Brad might attack almost anything: an individual, a decision, the meeting chair, the scribe, the agenda, whatever. And when someone defends the person or thing Brad attacked, he won't give up, even when everyone else in the meeting considers the defense adequate.
For example, in an attack on the agenda, Brad might object to the order. He might insist that Agenda Item 4 be placed in the Agenda Item 1 position. When the chair explains that Item 4 requires the decision the team will make after discussing Item 1, Brad objects to that, asserting that Item 4 can be addressed independently. He keeps objecting, no matter what anyone says. At some point, he begins objecting to everyone defending the current agenda order, saying that people are ganging up on him and won't let him speak. And so on, escalating ever more intensely into antagonism.
Engaging with Brad on the level of the content of his complaints is futile, because for Brad, the attack is the thing. Still, we're obliged to try it, because we cannot know a priori whether his complaint is substantive. But after peeling away two or three layers of the onion of his attacks, only to find attacks underneath, further engagement at the level of content is probably misguided.
Once it has become clear that the attacks will continue — that content-based responses are unlikely to mollify the attacker — what is there for the chair to do? There are three options. Most chairs, in my experience, keep trying to deal with the content of Brad's objections. As I've said, that rarely works.
A second option is to declare a recess. During the recess, the chair can try to work with Brad in an effort to persuade him to cease his objections. Something like, "I'll resume the meeting if you will assure me that you will cease your objections. Then later, we can discuss them privately. If you don't agree, or if you register more objections after we resume, I'll end the meeting." Brad might accept this, because he sees it as an opportunity to raise more objections. In situations I've witnessed, it does sometimes work. When the meeting resumes, Brad does sometimes "behave."
A third option is declaring the meeting ended, without negotiating with Brad. Afterwards, you can engage with Brad, and possibly his supervisor, on the subject of his disruptive behavior. This option is especially attractive if Brad has exhibited a pattern of disruptive behavior over several meetings, or if you've already tried the second option and Brad has reneged on his commitment to "behave."
Unless you supervise Brad yourself, the ultimate responsibility for resolving this issue lies with his supervisor. For suggestions about such situations, see "Performance Issues for Nonsupervisors," Point Lookout for July 12, 2017. A resolution that brings an end to the belligerence might not lie within your reach. Top Next Issue

Obangogo Hill is a hill and popular tourist attraction located in Egunbe Community in Kabba, Kogi State of Nigeria. It is located about  from the Okene-Kabba expressway.

Local legend has it that the hill has played an important role in the history of the Kabba people who hid under its shade while escaping the slave raids of the Nupe Warriors who regularly invaded, about three hundred years ago. Obangogo "proved for them a place of refuge during this period in their history."

UNESCO Heritage push
A group of prominent indigenes from the state, including advertising executive Steve Babaeko, have now started to push that the hill be recognized as a UNESCO Heritage Site.

Jewish World Review Jan. 18, 2000 /11 Shevat, 5760
David Corn
Do voters really prefer straight talk?
http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM is that the electorate is weary of slick politicians and just wants candidates to tell the truth. These are lofty-sounding sentiments but I'm not convinced.
In an interview with Fox News' Brit Hume, pollster Frank Luntz explained that voters are drawn to the campaigns of Bill Bradley and John McCain because of their "straight talk."
I have no doubt that Luntz, a superb pollster, is accurately describing the findings of his voter interviews. But I do doubt that the people he was interviewing were being completely honest with themselves.
That is, I have come to believe that far too many voters don't necessarily want to be told the truth. They prefer to be told only what they want to hear.
So whether voters like straight talk depends on what the meaning of "straight talk" is. If by "straight talk" we mean the sanctimonious condemnation of all politicians and the system as corrupt, then yes, many love to hear that. That doubtlessly accounts for much of Bradley's and McCain's popularity.
But if we define "straight talk" as "the truth," then I'm not sure voters care much for it. A few examples will suffice.
Many voters seem to respond favorably to demagogic rhetoric advocating stricter gun control laws every time another massacre occurs involving firearms. Pandering politicians calling for tighter measures are lauded, even though common sense demands the conclusion that more laws wouldn't have prevented the tragedies.
Similarly, Bradley and Gore are mopping up disenchanted voters with their promises of campaign finance reform, despite the fact that their proposed solutions will never come to fruition because they are unconstitutional.
So in these cases, and countless others, are voters craving the truth or something else?
I have no doubt that people disdain "double-talk." They want candidates to address issues directly and not talk around them. They prefer politicians who talk clearly and unambiguously. But they don't necessarily prefer that the content of those "straight" remarks be absolutely truthful.
Can anyone really doubt that Dr. Alan Keyes speaks from the heart? That he speaks the truth? But does the public always want to hear what he has to say? No, because much of it is unpleasant and to some extent an indictment of them.
Keyes has been warning of the moral crisis that pervades this nation. He recently told an assembly of students that violence in schools is merely a symptom of a larger problem: moral decay. "It is not a consequence of guns in the hands of children, but an absence of God in our hearts." If Americans can so casually kill the unborn innocent, he asked, why should they be surprised to find their offspring murdering one another in school?
In this respect, Keyes reminds me of the prophet, Jeremiah. Jeremiah repeatedly indicted Israel for willfully abandoning G-d and worshipping idols. He prophesied that judgment would follow. Jeremiah's admonitions were met with threats on his life and later he was beaten, put in stocks, imprisoned and placed in an empty well, left to die.
Keyes has not been beaten or left to die, but his words are heartily rejected by those who don't want to hear. Even some conservative commentators are referring to his ideas as "nutty" and "extreme."
Keyes is only an extremist if lying and circumlocution have become the norm for politicians. He is just saying things that make many people, including Republicans, uncomfortable. People don't want to be told that their society is ailing morally because they know they have a responsibility for its condition and its healing. It's much easier to deny the problem.
Keyes is also saying that we should return to our constitutional roots. That conservative message can only be labeled extreme if we acknowledge that we have radically abandoned those roots -- another damning admission.
Keyes' message is striking a responsive chord with many voters, but he's far from leading the pack. Yet he's talking straight and telling the truth. Just like Jeremiah.
So next time we hear the glib line that voters just want to be told the truth we should not accept it unquestioningly. Instead, we should probably ask ourselves whether indeed we can handle the truth.

Jarrell Miller is looking at a quick turnaround after smashing a criminally outmatched Tomasz Adamek two weeks ago, headlining a November 17th DAZN card in Atlantic City against an opponent to be named.
Miller (22-0-1, 19 KO) has been transparent about his intent to fight for the regular WBA heavyweight belt, which was held by Manuel Charr until he tested positive for anabolic steroids. Fres Oquendo is still owed a crack at said belt, so he seems the obvious foe for "Big Baby," but I don't envision them putting even a sham title fight together on a month's notice.
Other members of the card include Claressa Shields (6-0, 2 KO), who was originally supposed to fight Christina Hammer on that date before the latter withdrew, against Hannah Rankin (5-2, 1 KO), whom BoxRec claims is fighting an unrelated opponent on November 3rd. There's also Brandon Rios vs. Ramon Alvarez, Gabriel Rosado vs. Luis Arias, and TBA pulling triple duty against Miller, Ricky Burns, and potentially Luis Ortiz.
There's nothing else scheduled for November 17th besides a handful of European title fights, so it could be worth tuning in for the spectacle, at least.

Dalkey development will exclude 'ordinary working people', residents say
Kitty Holland
Last Updated: Friday, July 12, 2019, 12:22
A planned luxury development at a south Dublin fishing harbour should be "halted" and the site purchased by the State to guarantee continued accessibility to the public, campaigners have said.
The Bulloch Harbour Preservation Association may seek a judicial review of the decision by An Bord Pleanála to grant the development at Bulloch Harbour in Dalkey . However, its co-chair PJ Drudy said this could prove prohibitively expensive, at about €80,000, and fundraising would be necessary.
Activists and local residents said they would "fight every inch of the way" plans by Barta Development for three three-storey houses, apartments, parking spaces, a cafe and a new public square, in the small inlet. It would mean the "effective privatisation" of the amenity and "ordinary working people won't be welcome any more," they said.
Permission was granted by An Bord Pleanála last month, overturning the refusal by Dún Laoghaire- Rathdown County Council last year and the recommendation of its own inspector in May.
The inspector said refusal should be on the grounds of flood risk and the development would be "seriously injurious to the special character and amenities of the harbour". Ideally, Mr Drudy said, "it would be bought by the State and public access preserved". "This is far from over," he added.
Local TD Richard Boyd Barrett said "the State must in some form - whether it's the local authority or another body - halt this and compulsorily purchase the site".
"I am disgusted that An Bord Pleanála would ignore the concerns and opposition of the overwhelming majority of people and allow a development that will effectively privatise a vital local amenity.
"We will fight this every inch of the way" said Mr Boyd Barrett, while.
Monica Smyth (82) has lived in a seaman's cottage at the harbour since 1958, having "come down to ground level from Dalkey Hill" to marry her late husband Dermot. A lobster fisherman, he drowned hauling lobster pots in 1974.
She has continued selling crab and lobster from the cottage, and renting out boats to day-trippers. Her daughter Dolores lives with her, collecting the crustaceans daily from their 30 pots offshore.
"That development will totally destroy the area. Ordinary working people won't be welcome here any more," said Ms Smyth.
"Anyone who spends millions on one of the houses, they won't want the things that make the harbour what it is – the people coming from all over to sit and relax down there. They won't put up with that, or with fish boxes being thrown in at the pier at 5am every morning, or the seagulls flying over, or the smell of the bait for the lobster pots, or the hundreds of children who come to climb on the rocks. They'll want to get rid of that. But for us, they're the things that tell us we're alive."
Mr Drudy said the association would be "watching like a hawk" how Bartra Developments complies with one of the conditions attached to the permission – that they must detail the "water supply and drainage arrangements [for] disposal of surface water and seawater from overtopping in extreme flood events".
It believes this may be an impossible condition to meet given recent serious flooding in the harbour and damage after storm Emma last year.
Neither the council nor An Bord Pleanála would comment on the case.
Mike Flannery , chief executive of Bartra Developments, said he was studying the decision. "Bartra looks forward to enhancing the environs of Bulloch Harbour on the back of this decision," he said.

Q: Why Count() is not work for null record of "Var" or "iQueryable" class?     [Invoke]
    public List<string> GetConCurrentContractId(string identity, string empId, string payMonth)
    {
        List<string> _rtn = new List<string>();

        IQueryable<mContract> query = this.ObjectContext.mContract;

        IQueryable<mContract> query2 = this.ObjectContext.mContract.Where(
            q => q.wEmpId == empId && q.wEmpId == "NOTVALID");
        if (query.Count()>0)
        {
            _rtn.ToList<string>();
        }
        return _rtn;
    }

query has record return, and query.Count() work,
and query2.count() return exception ...
What is optional way to know any record return?

A: From your title I'm guessing you get a NullReferenceException. The most likely way I can see this happening only for query2 is if one of the items in mContract is null. To ignore these null objects you can do this:
IQueryable<mContract> query2 = this.ObjectContext.mContract.Where(
     q => q != null && q.wEmpId == empId && q.wEmpId == "NOTVALID");

A: 1) Why: because tha autors implemented the method this way.
2) How to solve it: You can create your own extensions method, which accepts null in IEnumerable argument and returns original instance or empty collection (array) for null value:
public static IEnumerable<T> NotNullEnum<T>( this IEnumerable<T> o ) {
    if ( object.ReferenceEquals( o, null ) {
        return new T[0];
    }
    else {
        return o;
    }
}

IQueryable<mContract> query2 = this.ObjectContext.mContract.NotNullEnum().Where(
        q => q.wEmpId == empId && q.wEmpId == "NOTVALID");
var count = query2.Count();

GLOBAL CENTER OF PLURALISM IN OTTAWA, CANADA
The heritage building at 330 Sussex Drive, in Ottawa, Canada, will serve as the Centre's international headquarters. Built between 1905 and 1926, it has housed two major federal institutions: the Dominion Archives of Canada and the Canadian War Museum.
Both of these institutions, in their own ways, helped Canadians to preserve and understand their history and to share Canada's story with the world. As an institution proudly inspired by Canada, the Centre will honour and perpetuate this tradition.
As a centre for research and education, as a neutral space for dialogue and exchange, and as a meeting place for diverse peoples seeking common ground, the Centre will serve as a vibrant focal point for pluralism across Canada and around the world.
The building, which has been vacant for several years, requires extensive renovation and rehabilitation – expected to take some years to complete. When the Centre becomes operational it will occupy temporary premises until the building is ready.
The Global Centre for Pluralism is an initiative of His Highness the Aga Khan in partnership with the Government of Canada. The Centre will be located at 330 Sussex Drive in Ottawa, Canada. Dedicated to the creation of successful societies, the Centre is founded on the premise that tolerance, openness and understanding towards the cultures, social structures, values and faiths of other peoples are essential to the very survival of an interdependent world. Pluralism is no longer simply an asset or a prerequisite for progress and development. It is vital to our existence.
See: www.pluralism.ca
The Global Centre for Pluralism is a new international research and education centre dedicated to the study and practice of pluralism worldwide. The Centre views pluralism as a fundamental human value and cornerstone of peace, stability and development. Ensuring that every individual – irrespective of cultural, ethnic or religious differences – has the opportunity to realize his or her full potential as a citizen is a vital part of its mission. To this end, the Centre will function as a global repository and source for knowledge and know-how about fostering pluralistic values, policies, and practices in a variety of settings. An initiative of the Ismaili Imamat and the Aga Khan Development Network, the Centre is being established with significant financial and intellectual support from the Government of Canada.
What the Global Centre for Pluralism will do
The Global Centre for Pluralism will serve the global community as an international centre of excellence for the study, practice and teaching of pluralism. Its core functions will include research, education, professional development through continuing education, dialogue and exchange, governance reform, and outreach events, including cultural performances and exhibitions.
Why Canada?
Canada is one of the world's most successful pluralist societies. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, His Highness the Aga Khan began asking Canadian leaders to explain the key to Canada's success managing its own diversity. In July 2001, a formal Pluralism Initiative was launched to understand how and why Canada's unique experiment works and how its lessons might be shared with other culturally diverse societies around the world. A research program and a series of consultations with Canadian leaders, officials, academics and cultural groups as well as world leaders led to the decision to establish in Ottawa a major new international institution dedicated to the promotion of successful pluralist societies in collaboration with the Government of Canada and Canadian institutions.

Cranial damage may occur during childbirth from a blow or fall to the head, or from early childhood play injuries. Unfortunately, many people rarely receive adequate care for these injuries, which can lead to a lifetime of pain and health problems due to persistent cranial damage. Head injuries that happen at birth or in childhood lead to slowed or abnormal development. Traumatic head injuries can cause post concussive symptoms such as headaches, migraines, and brain fog. If cranial subluxations are not corrected, headaches, blurred vision, balance, memory lapses, emotional irregularities, altered coordination, and decreased reflexes are common. As the media is quick to point out, concussions and concussion related symptoms not only effect the person at the time but can lead to lifelong problems with brain function. Cranial-misalignments also affect a persons Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD) because of how the jaw attaches to the skull. If the skull is misaligned in the right places, the TMJ will not function properly.
Cranial misalignments affect the brain's ability to properly function. For example, cranial-misalignments and dents can interfere with the cerebral spinal fluid's natural circulation. Without proper treatment, this misalignment will persist, further compromising the brain's optimal functionality. Individuals with cranial misalignments may suffer from cognitive disorders, cognitive difficulties, and experience a sub-standard level of health and life. Many individuals feel like they are living an "emotional rollercoaster" but are not sure why they experience such difficulty moderating or managing their emotions.
Learning difficulties are a prime example of how cranial misalignments can have a serious impact on an individual's quality of life. Young children with cranial misalignments may experience difficulty with speech and math, while others struggle with reading. A right spherical indentation due to cranial misalignment will affect speech; a left indentation will affect reading. Cranial adjustments from our chiropractors are critical to correcting these spherical indentations and preventing long-term learning problems that compromise a child's quality of life.
At Lifetime Health and Wellness, our chiropractors provide cranial adjustments based on a groundbreaking technique developed by Dr. Carl Ferreri, D.C. and perfected by Dr. Roger Turner, D.C.. Cranial Adjusting Turner Style (CATS) follows specific treatment protocols to treat head injuries and chronic headaches that do not respond to cervical adjustments. Craniopathy protocol is also beneficial for the treatment of post concussion symptoms, Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Epilepsy, and other learning or behavioral difficulties. Cranial Adjusting also helps with many other neurologic disorders. Unlike other cranial adjusting techniques, CATS is not light touch. This unique approach leads to outstanding results for patient care.
The human skull is comprised of thirteen bones that join together like puzzle pieces; something as simple as an accidental fall can knock these bones out of proper alignment. Many patients come to us because they are struggling with un-diagnosed health problems that traditional medical care is unable to successfully treat. The onset of many of these health problems is typically associated with cranial damage. However, since this damage may have occurred in early childhood, it could be years or even decades later that our patients finally are able to seek treatment. The good news is that craniopathy is effective for patients at any age – even if the initial traumatic injury is in the past.
Craniopathy is more than simply managing a patient's pain. Subluxations in the skull place unnecessary strain on the brain and also affect spinal health. Cranial adjustments are an essential part of whole body wellness care. Contact us today to learn more!

Why were Shepherds 1st to Learn of the Birth?
Everyone knows that song! But imagine what it is like to drive thought this ancient land looking down on terraced hillsides and seeing caves in the mountainsides. As you wind through the narrow Palestinian streets you see your fellow Christians mingling with the Muslims, walking along the road with their children – shopping, working, and trying to survive.
Then you get off the bus, walk up the road, push your way through rude vendors to finally see . . .
. . . the oldest church in the world, and the smallest church door in the world. You'd think this door was crafted especially for dwarfs. It is pocked with bullet dings and not more than 4 feet high. It is appropriate though that you bow as you enter the Church of the Nativity. The door was reduced in size to keep Muslims from riding their horses and camels into the incredibly holy place.
It cooled down a bit but not much. Jerusalem and Bethlehem rise high above the Jordan Valley to the east and the plain to the west that runs down to the Mediterranean. So Jerusalem and Bethlehem are always a bit cooler – or should I say "less hot" – than other areas in Israel.
Before breakfast, many pilgrims entered the Old City and prayed or attended Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, only ten minutes from our hotel, the Notre Dame Center. That is why I always bring pilgrims here — it is so close to the most holy place in the world.
We drove through it today. Through what? I will tell you. There is a lot of talk about the wall that Israel is building as a protection against terrorist bombers infiltrating into Israel. Nothing can stir the passions and start arguments here more than mention of that wall. There are many opinions and I feel sorry for the innocent Palestinians inconvenienced and humiliated by the wall, but I can't help but think the wall was really built by Arafat and his policy of suicide bombers. The innocent Palestinians and especially the Christians suffer because of the radical Muslims who want to use bombs and terror as a means of retaliation. This wall would have been extremely difficult to build — especially because of world opinion — if the bombs had not become a way of life. Anyway, we drove through the wall as we left Israel proper and entered the West Bank to visit Bethlehem.
Is it safe here, especially in Bethlehem? Almost everyone admitted that family and friends told them they were crazy for coming here – "You'll get blown up!" – but all of them would chuckle at such silliness now that they have traversed Israel and the West Bank from the north to the bustling city of Jerusalem. No one has at any time felt threatened or uneasy. The people in Bethlehem and gentle and kind people and I always hate to say good-bye.
In all the Holy Land there is no where quite like Bethlehem with is caves, terraced mountainside growing olives and grapes and much more. Sheep and shepherds, Muslims and Christians, churches and mosques.
We started the day at the Nissan Store because our local guide wanted to change the schedule a bit and introduce us all to the largest olive wood factory in Bethlehem. Everyone was able to buy quality products and many bought Christmas presents, gifts for their priests and families and to help support the local Christians. We always take our groups to ethical and legitimate shops since there are a lot of scams and cheap products being pushed as the real thing.
We all went in the caves of Shepherds Field where the angels announced the birth of the savior to the shepherds watching their flocks in these caves. Why did the angels announce his birth first to the shepherds? Because Jesus is the Lamb of God and shepherds are always first to hear about the birth of a lamb.
The Church of the Nativity – the oldest church in the world – was our next stop and everyone seemed moved after we dodged all the hawkers and vendors and then stooped low to enter the small door. It was reduced in size to keep Muslims from riding their horses and camels into the church long ago. We each prayed and touched the actual place in the grotto (cave) beneath the church. Very moving!
We then visited St. Catherine's Church adjacent to the grotto and visited the place where the angel met Joseph to warn him in a dream and then the first tomb of St. Jerome. By the way, Bethlehem is where he translated the Hebrew Bible into the Latin Vulgate. We had a great lunch inside Bethlehem before avoiding the main checkpoint and exiting the city through Beit Jala.
Next we visited Ein Kerem, the birthplace of John the Baptist and the home of Elizabeth. Remember the 2nd Joyful Mystery of the Rosary? Yes, this is where Mary walked (all the way from Nazareth!!!) to visit her relative.
We had a very special treat after dinner. A friend of mine and a singer and fisherman from the Sea of Galilee agreed to meet us in the Notre Dame to put on a concert for us. He is a Messianic Jew, meaning he is Jewish by birth and has accepted Jesus as his Messiah. He is not Catholic. Messianic Jews are basically Evangelical Protestants who want to practice their faith within their Jewish identity. He has a beautiful voice and sang many worship songs in English and Hebrew and got most of us to sing along and learn a few new words in Hebrew.
I think some took off to explore the Old City a little more, but must of us crashed into bed. Again . . .
