F-35 Lightning. "They are tearing down old hangars and building new ones to house the jet."
"It's really University City where they are in after-burner mode."
There may be a shift in the military aircraft noise from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, this week and in the long term, base commander Col. Jason Woodworth told the Mira Mesa Planning Group Monday night.
"Folks along Genessee and around the 805 will get more noise than Mira Mesa."
"I assure you - and the general does too - the aircraft that are flying are still meeting the exacting standards before military use," Woodworth said.
According to the base community plans and liaison officer, there will be increased flight operation at the air station due to troop deployments.
"Those living and working near MCAS Miramar may notice large, heavy aircraft (contracted 777, 747s and 767s) departing," the announcement says.
The base gets a half dozen noise complaints a day, a duty officer said. Miramar is an air base open every day all day, Woodworth said, but the Marines tend to fly between 8 am and 12:30 am, with the last two hours part of the 'modified quiet' approach.
"Our pilots need night training as much if not more than day training," Woodworth said.
The command is preparing for the arrival of the F-35 — Lightnings, in the trade language. They are tearing down old hangars and building new ones to house the jet, which ultimately will replace the FA-18. For now, the Marine air base at Yuma has several of the F-35s.
Miramar is home to the 3rd Marine Air Wing, pilots and crews who fly FA-18 Hornets, KC-130s, the MV-22 Osprey, and the KC-130 Hercules.
"The current pattern for decibel levels will stay about the same," Woodworth said. "The sound is different — It's a different craft with a different sound." Much of the noise occurs in University City, he said, and base complaint counts show that's where most of the complaints come from. "It's really University City where they are in after-burner mode," he said. "Folks along Genessee and around the 805 will get more noise than Mira Mesa."
The transition to the F-35s is expected to take 11 years, starting in 2020 and going to 2031, he said.

Nando’s first ever in-restaurant pop-up gallery in Nando’s Soho was designed as a playful immersive experience, in which visitors could have fun and get chatting while experiencing an up close and personal connection to artworks by some of the brightest stars in Southern Africa!
Feast Your Eyes was open to the public and visitors were invited to put on VR headsets that transported them into the artists studios back in South Africa, giving them an authentic and direct connection to the lives and stories of the seven Southern African artists who have participated in one or more of Nando’s artist-career development programmes. With guest appearances from the artists themselves, some very special panelists, and - of course - plenty of PERi-PERi, we’re still buzzing from the events!
A quick visit? Transport yourself to Feast Your Eyes and experience it for yourself here!
Nando’s Artists Society is structured to give 20 invited members the life-changing freedom to focus full-time on their artistic career, and the structure to explore and expand their creative practice, knowing that this gives them the potential to earn a decent and regular living from their creative work. Each selected member is a mid-career artist living in Southern Africa and emerging in a local and/or international context. On a set date each month NAS artists meet representatives of Yellowwoods Art. Each artist brings along their own most recent experimental work – created on NAS canvases supplied to artists as part of the programme for which artists are paid a set fee depending on the size of the canvas. There’s more to this programme, and we were humbled when it was recently honoured with a Silver Loerie for ‘doing good while doing business’.
Got a minute? Meet Nando’s Artists Society members in a quick video, and read the full story here.
Take a picture of your artwork.
We will contact you via email to let you know if your application is HOT OR NOT.
The Creative Block provides a platform for Southern African artists, both established and emerging, to have their work exhibited across the globe. Artists are provided with blank blocks of various sizes, to be transformed in any media. Artworks are then submitted for critique and the best are purchased for resale to corporate patrons and the general public. Each block is unique, signed and individually numbered.
There are more than 250 contributing artists from Southern Africa. Each block represents the work of an artist, their unique story and technical style. The impact of the Creative Block is really felt when these individual artworks come together to become a larger, collective work of art.
Every month, our curators tour artist's studios across South Africa, scouting for hot-off-the-brush contemporary works to add to our collection. This programme allows artists to focus full-time on their careers, whilst also offering valuable critique that builds skills and confidence.
During these visits, offers are made on-the-spot to buy artworks or entire collections, and artists are paid in full that same day. We then ship these pieces to our restaurants across the world, were they are proudly displayed.
To help artists focus on their arts full-time, 20 mid-career artists from the Creative Block were chosen to submit larger artworks to Nando's on a regular basis, at a set fee per canvass. We receive affordable, quality artworks for our restaurants and the artists gain financial security. It's a beautiful mutual exchange.
The Nando's Artists Society programme has been contributing to artists and art patron collection development for 10 years; offering artists an opportunity to experiment while earning a steady income, and meeting nando's global demand for quality fine art at best value for money.
Specialising in collaborative and experimental work with fine artists, designers and architects in conceptualising, manufacturing and installing architectural artworks. Training in ceramic and mosaic mediums, artists are offered a 3-year paid apprenticeship.
What started as a simple idea – to collaborate and interpret the work of some of South Africa’s finest artists in beaded panels - has grown to become an inspiring, unique art expression. Today, Qubeka Bead Studio collaborates with some of our country’s leading artists to translate their works into beautiful beaded creations.

All of this depends on a cell phone’s camera finding enough data points to compare with an existing database of images. The problem is that the database is usually not in the phone but must be accessed over a network. They combine several recognition strategies and database trees to create a “forest” that finds results fast over an existing network. The result is a technology that literally see the forest for the trees.

Comes From Answering the Question, "Who Are You?"
The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pounds of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot – albeit a perfect one – to get an “A”.
As my writing teacher Jack Grapes says, process leads to product. What gets in the way of people engaging and producing is usually some form of overthinking. Because we don’t control our thinking it is not as easy as Bob Newhart would like us to believe to change our thoughts or our behavior by just stopping it.
Our behavior follows our understanding. We do what makes sense to us in the moment, and if paralyzing overthinking looks real to us we will feel the effect of it and act accordingly. In order for our behavior to change, we need to see something new. Our perspective needs to shift. The Nike mantra, “Just do it!” isn’t enough. We can use willpower and pushing for a time, but eventually, we burn out. There is an easier way.
Am I good enough? Do I measure up? Am I doing enough? How do I get better? How do I improve? These are some of the questions that can get in the way of us creating what we want. They all revolve around a separate “I” and suggest you can reduce suffering by improving the “I” or giving the “I” a good experience. These questions, however, are founded on a misunderstanding. The suffering of the “I” will never be solved by personal development or moments of pleasure. The solution to suffering comes from understanding the source of the suffering is the misunderstanding of a separate “I” period.
Fortunately, the individual “I” is not all of you. It is a constellation of atoms that is part of you but not the full picture. The full picture is far greater than the sliver of you that you can feel, see, and touch. There is no real separation, but the “I” you make up makes it look and feel as if there is. It sees the material world as the entire picture, but this is a limited vantage point. Quantum physics has some sense of something beyond what the illusion of material reality presents when it recognizes that 99.9% of matter is empty space, but it cannot make the final leap because science can’t measure the essence that is the emptiness but isn’t empty. The formless field of infinite potential can only be theorized in physics, but as humans, we are part of it. We are the dynamic ongoing interplay between the form and formless even if it is invisible to the eye.
When you get a sense that you are more than meets the eye, and taste the infinity that lies beyond your five senses, you just know it. When you realize you are infinite potential, what is there to worry about when it comes to productivity? The solutions to everyday situations like how to get along with your spouse, how to make more money, how to be happy, or how to create art all come from the same source that created the entire universe. No problem is too big or too small for that intelligence. Everything comes from the source that Sydney Banks called the Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought, what others call God or consciousness. Everything you want to create, every possible experience, is there in formless potential. Suffering, motivation, how to survive, they are all created through the same principles.
Looking to our infinite nature may seem to have no relevance for our day-to-day lives, but it is behind it all. We can’t see it, but we experience the effects of it all the time. It is where our experience comes from no matter what our experience is. Seeing this helps me to let go. I get better at surrendering to the natural creative process that is always happening independent of my effort and learning how to flow with what is more gracefully.
The power of seeing this is practical. When you sense your true nature that exists beyond form, when you experience what it holds for you, it opens you up to possibilities and to the unknown. It points you in the direction of your potential. What it did for me is help me to see my worries, insecurities, and anxieties in a new way so they looked more trivial — even silly. I still have them at times, but I know they are part of the tapestry of separation that starts to unravel when I look to where it comes from.
Your ability to create comes from the same source as everything else. You are not the source of your creation. It starts beyond you. If you think you are having trouble with productivity, you are just not seeing what you are producing. You are constantly creating. You can’t help bringing your thoughts to life and creating your experience. You might not be producing what you want, but you are producing nonetheless. Seeing your creative process at play helps you recognize the power of it and to move into greater cooperation with what is. This results in greater freedom and fewer feelings of overwhelm, inadequacy, and pressure.
There is less focus on the imaginary “I” and more engagement with what is in front of you. You are present to life and simply do what makes sense in the moment. You do not have to know the grand design. You do not have to be the grandmaster. There is a deeper knowing unfolding inside of you that you don’t have to be consciously aware of every aspect of it. The intelligence that guides electrons and atoms is the same intelligence at your service. It is your source. The well of your inspiration that is infinite.
Your productivity whether it is wiping your nose or creating an empire comes from the same source. There is nothing to overthink. There is only engaging to be done. Engaging with what is right in front of you. You don’t have to create thought. You are thought. You are one thought. We are the same thought. We are the timeless, spaceless, potential of that thought. We create form from that thought, in whatever way occurs to us in the moment a kiss, a punch, a community, a bomb, a nation. All coming from the same source. All figments of our imagination brought to life.
You are always being productive. You are always producing that one thought and bringing it to life in the myriad of ways that make sense to you. Are you producing fear, judgment, distress? Are you producing love, harmony, and peace? It is all part of a day’s work of being human. Seeing the production is like understanding the magic trick. When you see it, it is no longer compelling, bewildering, or disorientating. It just is.
My inadequacy, my insecurity, my badness come from the same stuff as my goodness, my competence and my confidence. They are all experiences that come through me via thought. Floating in and out. I don’t control the flow. I am the channel that gets to experience all of them. As Rumi said, “Welcome and entertain them all!” No harm comes from feeling our internal experience. It all comes from the same source.
I am that source. You are that source. We are that source. It is vast, deep, and infinite. It is the balm that shrinks our worries. It is the opposite of separation and nihilism. It is the loving intelligence that is. You are not outside of that. Seeing this is what helps you to just do it. You do it from love because that is who you are. Experiencing the answer to the question, “Who are you?” Is the only motivation you need. When you see this, your productivity takes care of itself.

This Friday, November 21 at 3pm EST, please join me and Author, Speaker, “founder and Chief Encourager” of Giant Leap Consulting as we talk about his latest book, “Courage Goes to Work” as part of the Uncommon Conversations at the Coaching Commons.
Last week I wrote a question to the social networking group, Linked In. The question asked for people to ponder that if today was their last day on Earth, to name one lesson they have learned that they would like to pass along. Of course, me being who I am, I had to give a couple of examples of lessons I have learned including that the longer I live the more I realize how I am not as unique as I often wished.

Operating a one-person shop can be rewarding, but it has its challenges. Here are five apps to help make the work more manageable.
Video: Run your one-person IT shop with the help of these five apps If you're looking for apps to make your one-person shop life easier, these five apps should be on your short list.
Invoice2go (Figure A) is one of the best invoicing solutions you will ever find (in a mobile format). With this tool you can generate client invoices from more than 20 templates—or even customize your own template. Invoice2go offers just about every feature you would ever need from a mobile invoicing system. You can estimate, organize clients/contacts, invoice, set reminders, sync to other devices, save photos of receipts, add time entries to a built-in calendar, insert location information to invoices, and add barcodes and QR codes to invoices.
Square Register (Figure B) is one of the most widely used and reliable means to take mobile payments. With Square you can easily (and safely) associate your account to a bank and take payments on the go. Square allows you to set up taxes, signatures (for receipts), tipping, cash drawers, and much more.
[EDIT] Square offers both email and phone options for support. For more information on contacting Square, you can check out its support page.
Goods Order Inventory Pro (Figure C) is the only inventory system you need (if you don't need POS integration). It enables you to take care of nearly every inventory task imaginable, including centralized data management, inventory management, user tracking, multiple organizations and locations, inventory movement (across locations), user permissions, and quick reporting. This is a powerhouse mobile inventory solution.
Jiffy (Figure D) is one of my favorite time tracking apps. It not only helps you keep track of all your time, it does so with an incredibly clean and well-designed interface. Because the designers had a keen eye for efficiency, the app is easy to use. With Jiffy you can keep track of time spent for all your customers and projects and even modify entries when something needs to be changed.
MobiDB Database Designer Lite (Figure E) will allow you to keep track of all your client licensing. Why use this instead of a spreadsheet? MobiDB lets you create custom databases perfectly tuned for your needs. If you don't need a customized database, the preconfigured listing includes a database for, you guessed it, software! The software database includes fields for name, key, license, vendor, price, date of purchase, where purchased, and comments. Other features include a barcode scanner, filtering, multiple tables/relations, data entry via form, and 14 supported field types.
Your one-person shop doesn't have to be without a supporting cast of apps. Add any one of these apps to your current collection of tools and your daily work will be more organized and more efficient.
What apps do you rely on to help you stay on top of your one-person operation? Share your recommendations with fellow TechRepublic members.

Two and a half months ago I was 265 lbs taking blood pressure and cholesterol medication, suffering from lung disease that prevented me from walking up a flight of stairs without losing my breath let alone working out to get in shape. My seasonal allergies were killing me. Then I visited Dr. Noah and Dr. Mike and they told me about The Paleo Diet. I read the books and it seemed to make sense to me. In the ensuing months I have lost 28 pounds, been taken off blood pressure and cholesterol medications due to my great blood work and I am jogging again, my allergies are all but gone. In general for the first time in years I can say I feel great. To say Paleo and my Chiropractors have changed my life is an understatement.
The Paleo Diet was introduced to me by Dr. Noah and Dr. Mike following my concerns about the way I was feeling both mentally and physically. I was never one to stick to diets, so I was a little skeptical. After reading all the material he gave me, I decided to give it a shot. I happy to say that I have just completed the 30 day Paleo Diet Challenge and to date I have lost 12lbs. For me it wasn’t a diet but an actual lifestyle change. I can’t stop talking about it when I’m with my friends and family when they ask how good I look. My acid reflux, attitude and complexion have never been better. The most important thing is how I feel on the inside. I feel great both mentally and physically. Thank you Dr. Mike and Dr. Noah for your support and dedication to your profession.
I came across the Family Chiropractic Center of Bayonne through a desperate Google search trying to deal with my back pain. What I found was a group of people who care about the health and happiness of my family. Outside of helping me with my back pain and teaching me the importance of chiropractic care, the office has become a partner in my path to wellness. When I got to my wits end with my back pain I was also fed up with my digestive health, it just so happened that Dr. Noah and Dr. Mike was on the same journey. They are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about making everyone that walks into the practice healthier than they were before. At 30 I feel happier and healthier than ever have and I can attribute a lot of that to Dr. Noah and Dr. Mike. I trust their advice and appreciate all that he has done for me and my family.
So excited… Lost 7 pounds and I now fit into an outfit that I held on to from before I had my second son. More importantly I wish I started Paleo years ago. I feel healthy & more energy! Thanks for introducing me to this challenge.
When I first came to see Dr. Noah, it was immediately following a terrible weight lifting injury. I had unbearable pain in my lower back that was so bad, I could barely walk. I was also leaning to one side while I walked and had a hard time getting in and out of bed.
In the first three and a half weeks after beginning Chiropractic care, I made remarkable improvement. I’m certain that my rapid recovery was due to the care I received by Dr. Noah and Family Chiropractic Center.
I plan on continuing my Chiropractic care to insure that this pain or any other pain never inflicts me again. I would recommend chiropractic to anyone. It has made a world of difference in my life. Thank you Dr. Noah!
It wasn’t too long ago that I started under Chiropractic care, and already I can feel a difference. I never realized that something as simple as getting your spine adjusted a few times a week can make that kind of difference in your life. It really improves your performance in everything that you do, whether it’s school,, work, or simple little activities.
I now notice my posture has improved greatly. I sleep better and I no longer have bad headaches like I used too. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to mention when you no longer have to think about the pain in your back you can really begin to focus on other things, and chiropractic care has helped me achieve exactly that!
I began to receive Chiropractic Care early in November 2002. Before that time I couldn’t walk for more than 30 minutes without sitting to rest my aching back. I am happy to say that since I started with Dr. Noah, my energy has increased and my overall stamina has improved. At the same time I feel less irritable and I am not restless anymore. I am now able to walk for hours at a time in the city without feeling the need to sit. I would recommend Chiropractic care and Dr. Noah to anyone whose back problems keep them from being as mobile or as energetric as they could be.
I am so glad I followed up on my meeting with you after the Bayonne Summer Fair. Since then my back and my entire body have been feeling much better. I have also become more in touch with my body and its care with the help of your program.

Summer may be waning, but we've hit the season's sweet spot. And by sweet spot, I mean the bounty of local fruit that is available. There are few things quite as scrumptious as fresh-picked peaches, melons, berries, and other late-summer treats. Another reason to proclaim this as summer's sweet spot: It's Dine Out Boston time.
Creative chefs will be incorporating plenty of to-die-for, local fruit into their menus for the summer version of Dine Out Boston, the highly anticipated, re-jiggered culinary event formerly known as Restaurant Week. One of the reasons to savor DOB (apart from the tremendous value it offers) is that the three-course, fixed-price meals include dessert. Talk about sweet spots! Let's explore some of the desserts that will be available at participating DOB restaurants.
Top off your meal at Tremont 647 in the South End with either Inverted Blackberry Cobbler or Cherry Hand Pies served with peach ice cream. Are you drooling yet? Over at Grill 23 in the Back Bay, DOB diners have a choice of Summer Berry Bread Pudding with crème fraiche ice cream and coconut streusel, Chocolate Zucchini Cake with peach butter and dark chocolate graham rocher, or Peach Cobbler with bourbon ice cream and ginger caramel. Somebody pass me a napkin.
Still hungry for more? How about Grotto in Beacon Hill? Sweet endings to DOB feasts include Mixed Berries served with Zabaglione (Italian custard) and Panna Cotta with raspberry sauce, crispy pizzelle, and aged balsamic. The Met Back Bay will offer Peach and Blackberry Cobbler with biscuit topping and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Fruit plays a major role in one of the Met's appetizers as well: Watermelon Carpaccio with heirloom peach and tomatoes, burrata, and smoked ham cracklin'. Sweet!
Dine Out Boston will be held August 17 to 22 and 24 to 29, 2014. Prices vary by restaurant. Find out which eateries are participating at the official Dine Out Boston site. Reservations are highly recommended.

Have you ever competed in a game where you were so afraid to make a mistake? You could feel the tension in your muscles increase and your heart beating a little faster. Your palms were sweaty and you couldn’t seem to stop thinking about messing up. You performed so tentatively that you hoped the ball or puck wouldn’t come your way. Then, when it was time to perform, the very thing you feared happened… you messed up.
The fear of messing up or making mistakes is a common issue for athletes in sports, which can lead to a mental lapse. A mental lapse happens when unwarranted distractions divert your attention away from playing the game. Instead, your mind is filled with unproductive, negative thoughts. An athlete performs optimally when he is focused on a strategy or merely playing his “game.” When a player begins to focus on what he fears may happen, that focus then unconsciously becomes a target. Even though that player wants to avoid what he fears, quite often it becomes the target he hits (self-fulfilling prophecy).
The Edmonton Oilers, currently 3-10-2, have lost five straight games and were shut out in the last two games. The Oilers have not made the playoffs since the 2005-06 season and have the worst record in the Western Conference this season.
Understand fear – Fear affects your performance in a number of ways. Fear diverts your attention from the process of performing well and adversely affects your confidence. Fear also affects you physically by increasing tension in your muscles, increasing respiration and reducing energy within the body. Recognition of these signs can provide you with early warning signs and help you refocus and reconnect with a positive goal.
Take a break – A time-out or slight break in action can help interrupt your mind and provide the opportunity to focus on the necessary performance cues during games. You can use a phrase like “focus” or “snap out of it” to help you refocus.
Focus on your game – You have been successful at some point in your athletic career. You need to focus on your strengths, your game plan or the things that help you play successfully. When you compete from your strengths, you gain a sense of control over your game and help minimize focusing on what you fear and potential negative outcomes.

Family mediation is a way of helping families to reach agreements about what should happen after separation or divorce. It is an increasingly popular alternative to asking the court to make decisions about family issues.
Every day, family mediation helps couples who are in the process of separating or divorcing to decide what to do about the house, the children, the assets, the debts, and can help everyone in the family to establish new working relationships.
If you want to know more, it may be worth checking out our article, Mediation is not . . .
I have concerns about being in the same room as my former partner.
The government and many judges believe that more people should use family mediation, to avoid the expense, delays and conflict often associated with going to court.
Family mediation is now an official part of the Family Justice System because most people who want to ask the courts to make a decision about a family issue now have to see an authorised family mediator first, to find out more about family mediation and other alternatives to court. These meetings are called Mediation Information and Assessment Meetings, or MIAMs. If you are not sure whether or not family mediation would be a good option for your family, it is probably a good idea to go to one of these meetings, to talk to a mediator about your personal situation.
What issues can family mediation deal with?
All FMA members have been trained to mediate the full range of issues associated with divorce and separation, including children, communication, division of capital and other financial concerns. FMA mediators have a particular interest in and commitment to working co-operatively with other specialists – legal, therapy and financial (including pension) experts. Each FMA mediator meets regularly with her or his professional supervisor, working closely with the supervisor to ensure that the FMA’s high standards are maintained.
There are FMA mediators throughout England and Wales. You can find your local FMA mediators by using the FMA’s Find a Mediator service. Many FMA mediators offer special services, so it may be worth thinking about what your family particularly needs from a family mediator before making your choice.
It is very important to find a qualified mediator, whatever their background.
Qualified mediators have successfully completed a recognised training course, and each year they must complete a certain amount of training, satisfy a professional supervisor that they are working to certain standards, and work the required number of mediation hours. Qualified mediators must also have appropriate professional insurance.
Are you planning to pay for the mediation yourself, or are you entitled to help with payment because you are on a low income?
If you are paying privately you need to check the rates your local mediators charge for mediation session. Some charge an hourly rate, some charge on a sessional, or case basis. Most mediators also charge for the assessment meetings that take place before the mediation begins. The rates that family mediators charge are generally much lower than the rates that family lawyers charge, but it is always very important to be clear from the beginning how much you are going to be charged, and what the mediator charges for.
If you have a low income and relatively low capital, you may be entitled to legal aid. As you probably know legal aid is no longer available for most family matters that go to court, but it is still available for family mediation. You should look for a mediator who is specially qualified to offer legal aid mediation. The mediator will help you to work out if you are entitled to legal aid, and if you are, your mediator will then ask the Legal Aid Agency to fund your mediation. If later on you want to turn your mediation proposals into an agreement, your family mediator can sometimes arrange for legal aid to pay for you to get some help from a solicitor as well. Not all FMA members are qualified to offer legal aid mediation. Our website shows who does legal aid work and who does not; if you think you may be entitled to legal aid, but aren’t sure, it is usually best to find a mediator who is qualified to offer legal aid. All FMA members will do their best to suggest a local mediator who can help you.
Do you think it may help for your children to be consulted within the mediation?
Many FMA members are specially qualified to involve children directly in family mediations. There are many things to think about when deciding whether or not it is appropriate for an individual child to be involved directly, which will have to be talked through by both parents, and with the mediator, but involving children can be very useful if the right preparation is done. The government has said that it believes all children above the age of 10 should have an opportunity to see a mediator if their parents are using mediation to make decisions about child arrangements. If you are interested in involving a child in the mediation you can look for a mediator who is trained to work directly with children. However, the mediator who works with the parents doesn’t have to be the same mediator who meets with the child, so you could opt for a mediator who isn’t qualified to see children directly, and ask the mediator you choose to find you a mediator who is qualified to meet children. FMA mediators all understand how child-inclusive mediation works, even if they do not do this work themselves, and will be able to talk through the options with you.
FMA mediators will be very happy to talk to you about the different kinds of family mediation that are available, and will be able to advise you about the one that is best suited to you.
After the assessment meetings have taken place, the normal process in this country involves two adult clients meeting with a qualified mediator together in one room, and all three people talking through the issues and the possible solutions together. This process is described in more detail in steps 4-6, but in outline the normal process involves from 1 to 6 sessions, depending on the number of issues that need to be discussed and how complex or difficult the issues are; each session usually lasts between one and a half and two hours. With the client’s agreement the mediator may invite other people into the process if that seems helpful, for example a pensions expert or a family therapist; other professionals invited to take part might attend the mediation sessions, or they might set up separate sessions of their own.
One of the most common alternatives to sole mediation involves two adult clients meeting with two qualified mediators together in one room, and all four people talking through the issues and the possible solutions together. The FMA was founded as a co-mediation organisation, FMA members are all trained to co-mediate, and most of our members are very happy to work as co-mediators. Some mediators use co-mediation only occasionally, when they think it will be especially useful to have one mediator per client. Other mediators use co-mediation in almost every case, because they prefer working in this way. It is very common for co-mediators to be a man and a woman, and/or for them to be from different backgrounds (for example one from a legal background and one from a therapy/counselling background).
Another way of working is to use two rooms. The two adult clients each stay in their own separate room, and the mediator or mediators ‘shuttle’ between them. There is no face to face communication between the clients, so this kind of mediation doesn’t help to develop better communication in the way that other forms of mediation can, but it can be a good way to help clients negotiate safely. Shuttle mediation sessions usually take longer than other mediation sessions. Sometimes lawyers are involved in this form of mediation, each person bringing his or her own lawyer and consulting with them about the options available as the mediation progresses. Sessions involving lawyers, sometimes known as caucus mediations, are more expensive, and tend to take quite a long time (half a day or even more). FMA members often participate in shuttle mediations, and are comfortable inviting lawyers, and indeed other professionals, into the process.
This is an approach that can be combined with any of the other methods. In it, a child who wants to be involved in the process talks with a specially qualified child consultant mediator. The parents agree in advance that this meeting is confidential between the child and the mediator, and unless any child protection issues arise, the mediator will only tell the parents what the child has agreed should be passed on. If the mediator working with the parents is a child consultant mediator, the child can meet with the same mediator who is working with the parents, but quite often it is a different mediator. Consultations usually last about 45 minutes with each child and children are usually aged 10 or above, but in some circumstances younger children may be seen. Many FMA mediators are qualified to do this specialist work.
Many mediators use a combination of the different kinds of mediation mentioned above. Family mediators are trained to tailor the process to the specific needs of your family, so don’t be surprised if the process your mediator uses looks a little different to those you have read about. Family mediation is developing all the time, and sometimes borrows different styles from other forms of mediation, including mediation techniques used in non-family property disputes and some variations used in other countries. Provided the core principles are respected, your family mediator is free to work in a creative way to make sure that the family mediation process chosen for you will suit your personal circumstances.
It’s important that you feel comfortable with the process. Your mediator will explain how it works before you begin, but here is our overview of how the process works.
Every mediation will begin with an assessment meeting. Many people have separate assessment meetings some time before the first joint session. Some people prefer to come together to the assessment meeting, with a joint session following straight afterwards if their case is suitable for mediation. FMA members usually offer both types of assessment, but whichever type is chosen there always has to be some opportunity for the mediator to talk separately to each person. This is so that the mediator can ask some confidential questions designed to find out whether there are any special issues that need to be taken into consideration. Often the same mediator will be involved throughout, but sometimes one mediator meets with each person at the assessment stage, and then a different mediator conducts the actual mediation.
At the very beginning of the actual mediation, the mediator will ask you both to sign an agreement to mediate, after checking with both of you that you understand what it says and that you both know how mediation works. The agreement to mediate is a standard document, used by all qualified family mediators, and is something that is required by the Family Mediation Council, which regulates all family mediators. The mediation cannot go ahead unless the agreement to mediate has been signed.
During the mediation your mediator will give you useful information about how to deal with financial issues, how to deal with children issues, relevant legal principles, the court process, court orders, and how to contact other agencies and specialists who may be able to help. The mediator will ask you important questions about what ideas you have about the future, and about what is worrying you about the present. They may even talk a little about what has gone wrong in the past, although the problems of the past are not the main focus of mediation. The mediator will also set the rules he or she expects everyone to follow. These will include speaking and listening to each other with respect, and working with the mediator to make sure that conflict and any strong emotions that emerge during the mediation don’t overwhelm the process.
Most family mediators work in a relatively informal setting, and all qualified family mediators provide clients with a relaxed and secure environment. During the session, the mediator will record key pieces of information or ideas or particular options in a way that allows both of you to see what has been written and to comment on it. Usually the mediator will use a flip-chart to do this, but many also use more modern technology. You will be encouraged to ask questions and discuss what is being written down. If you don’t understand something that is being said by anyone in the room, or don’t understand something that has been written on the flip-chart by the mediator, it is very important to say so. It is the mediator’s job to help. Your mediator will be keeping an eye on how you are feeling, but if you start to feel uncomfortable or worried about anything, you should let the mediator know.
Decide the priority of the issues. Some issues are more pressing than others and need to be resolved first, e.g., short-term financial arrangements, holidays, contact.
Clarify the issues: sometimes it is not certain what is really in dispute and clarifying the issues avoids misunderstandings.
At the end of the mediation process your mediator will explain to you how to obtain legal advice about any proposals the two of you have produced together and how you may convert them into a legally binding agreement and/or a court order. Proposals relating to children often do not need to be turned into a court order, but proposals relating to finances almost always should be. If you have not been able to find any mutually acceptable proposals, your mediator will explain to you what your options are at this stage, including negotiation through other means, arbitration and court proceedings. Although the mediator will never instruct you to do something, they may suggest that you take further advice, for example that you consult with a tax or pensions specialist, or with a family lawyer, before making any decisions.

Family mediation is a way of helping families to reach agreements about what should happen after separation or divorce . It is an increasingly popular alternative to asking the court to make decisions about family issues .
 Every day , family mediation helps couples who are in the process of separating or divorcing to decide what to do about the house , the children , the assets , the debts , and can help everyone in the family to establish new working relationships .
 If you want to know more , it may be worth checking out our article , Mediation is not . . .
 I have concerns about being in the same room as my former partner .
 The government and many judges believe that more people should use family mediation , to avoid the expense , delays and conflict often associated with going to court .
 Family mediation is now an official part of the Family Justice System because most people who want to ask the courts to make a decision about a family issue now have to see an authorised family mediator first , to find out more about family mediation and other alternatives to court . These meetings are called Mediation Information and Assessment Meetings , or MIAMs . If you are not sure whether or not family mediation would be a good option for your family , it is probably a good idea to go to one of these meetings , to talk to a mediator about your personal situation .
 What issues can family mediation deal with ?
 All FMA members have been trained to mediate the full range of issues associated with divorce and separation , including children , communication , division of capital and other financial concerns . FMA mediators have a particular interest in and commitment to working co - operatively with other specialists – legal , therapy and financial ( including pension ) experts . Each FMA mediator meets regularly with her or his professional supervisor , working closely with the supervisor to ensure that the FMA ’s high standards are maintained .
 There are FMA mediators throughout England and Wales . You can find your local FMA mediators by using the FMA ’s Find a Mediator service . Many FMA mediators offer special services , so it may be worth thinking about what your family particularly needs from a family mediator before making your choice .
 It is very important to find a qualified mediator , whatever their background .
 Qualified mediators have successfully completed a recognised training course , and each year they must complete a certain amount of training , satisfy a professional supervisor that they are working to certain standards , and work the required number of mediation hours . Qualified mediators must also have appropriate professional insurance .
 Are you planning to pay for the mediation yourself , or are you entitled to help with payment because you are on a low income ?
 If you are paying privately you need to check the rates your local mediators charge for mediation session . Some charge an hourly rate , some charge on a sessional , or case basis . Most mediators also charge for the assessment meetings that take place before the mediation begins . The rates that family mediators charge are generally much lower than the rates that family lawyers charge , but it is always very important to be clear from the beginning how much you are going to be charged , and what the mediator charges for .
 If you have a low income and relatively low capital , you may be entitled to legal aid . As you probably know legal aid is no longer available for most family matters that go to court , but it is still available for family mediation . You should look for a mediator who is specially qualified to offer legal aid mediation . The mediator will help you to work out if you are entitled to legal aid , and if you are , your mediator will then ask the Legal Aid Agency to fund your mediation . If later on you want to turn your mediation proposals into an agreement , your family mediator can sometimes arrange for legal aid to pay for you to get some help from a solicitor as well . Not all FMA members are qualified to offer legal aid mediation . Our website shows who does legal aid work and who does not ; if you think you may be entitled to legal aid , but are n’t sure , it is usually best to find a mediator who is qualified to offer legal aid . All FMA members will do their best to suggest a local mediator who can help you .
 Do you think it may help for your children to be consulted within the mediation ?
 Many FMA members are specially qualified to involve children directly in family mediations . There are many things to think about when deciding whether or not it is appropriate for an individual child to be involved directly , which will have to be talked through by both parents , and with the mediator , but involving children can be very useful if the right preparation is done . The government has said that it believes all children above the age of 10 should have an opportunity to see a mediator if their parents are using mediation to make decisions about child arrangements . If you are interested in involving a child in the mediation you can look for a mediator who is trained to work directly with children . However , the mediator who works with the parents does n’t have to be the same mediator who meets with the child , so you could opt for a mediator who is n’t qualified to see children directly , and ask the mediator you choose to find you a mediator who is qualified to meet children . FMA mediators all understand how child - inclusive mediation works , even if they do not do this work themselves , and will be able to talk through the options with you .
 FMA mediators will be very happy to talk to you about the different kinds of family mediation that are available , and will be able to advise you about the one that is best suited to you .
 After the assessment meetings have taken place , the normal process in this country involves two adult clients meeting with a qualified mediator together in one room , and all three people talking through the issues and the possible solutions together . This process is described in more detail in steps 4 - 6 , but in outline the normal process involves from 1 to 6 sessions , depending on the number of issues that need to be discussed and how complex or difficult the issues are ; each session usually lasts between one and a half and two hours . With the client ’s agreement the mediator may invite other people into the process if that seems helpful , for example a pensions expert or a family therapist ; other professionals invited to take part might attend the mediation sessions , or they might set up separate sessions of their own .
 One of the most common alternatives to sole mediation involves two adult clients meeting with two qualified mediators together in one room , and all four people talking through the issues and the possible solutions together . The FMA was founded as a co - mediation organisation , FMA members are all trained to co - mediate , and most of our members are very happy to work as co - mediators . Some mediators use co - mediation only occasionally , when they think it will be especially useful to have one mediator per client . Other mediators use co - mediation in almost every case , because they prefer working in this way . It is very common for co - mediators to be a man and a woman , and/or for them to be from different backgrounds ( for example one from a legal background and one from a therapy / counselling background ) .
 Another way of working is to use two rooms . The two adult clients each stay in their own separate room , and the mediator or mediators ‘ shuttle ’ between them . There is no face to face communication between the clients , so this kind of mediation does n’t help to develop better communication in the way that other forms of mediation can , but it can be a good way to help clients negotiate safely . Shuttle mediation sessions usually take longer than other mediation sessions . Sometimes lawyers are involved in this form of mediation , each person bringing his or her own lawyer and consulting with them about the options available as the mediation progresses . Sessions involving lawyers , sometimes known as caucus mediations , are more expensive , and tend to take quite a long time ( half a day or even more ) . FMA members often participate in shuttle mediations , and are comfortable inviting lawyers , and indeed other professionals , into the process .
 This is an approach that can be combined with any of the other methods . In it , a child who wants to be involved in the process talks with a specially qualified child consultant mediator . The parents agree in advance that this meeting is confidential between the child and the mediator , and unless any child protection issues arise , the mediator will only tell the parents what the child has agreed should be passed on . If the mediator working with the parents is a child consultant mediator , the child can meet with the same mediator who is working with the parents , but quite often it is a different mediator . Consultations usually last about 45 minutes with each child and children are usually aged 10 or above , but in some circumstances younger children may be seen . Many FMA mediators are qualified to do this specialist work .
