Removed acts of insurance, alleged sabotage, and Greek bureaucracy focused on a setback to the organizers of freedom flotilla 2, who said on Tuesday that the departure of the Gaza Strip could be postponed until next week.

"There have been many obstacles and complaints." "Some boats is not ready and is not not when us leave, although we hope that this will be in the coming week", Ewa Jasiewicz, a leader of the Free Gaza of the Poland movement, told the Jerusalem Post, of the Greece. "We cannot rule out the possibility that it will be pushed off the coast until early next week."

In any event, the Israel Navy continues its preparations to stop the planned fleet of 10 ships.

Tuesday, officers of the Navy and aviation has organized a series of meetings to discuss operational plans and senior IDF officials have in recent days, talked with foreign military attachés based in Israel as well as with their counterparts from countries whose citizens participate fleet.

"We want to ensure that everyone is aware of what we do and why," explained a senior officer.

10 Vessels should participate in the fleet include the freedom of the Ireland, the audacity of hope in the United States, the Canada Tahrir, Swedish and Greek Juliano, two Swedish-Greek cargo vessels carrying 3,000 tons of supplies, the Italian ship Stefano Chiarini and French ships Julien Rivoire and dignity.

The two French ships left Corsica over the weekend and are en route to the rendezvous point in the Mediterranean, Jasiewicz said, while other boats is moored in Greece awaiting approval to depart from the band of Gaza.

On Tuesday, the Juliano propeller shaft was found cut, leading organizers to accuse Israel of sabotaging the ship, which will take several days to correct.

"Insurance has been withdrawn, one of the ships has been sabotaged and Greek authorities have not given all the permits," Jasiewicz said about delays.

Jasiewicz rejected the assertions of IDF declared in the Post Tuesday that information obtained by Israel shows that some of the passengers plan to attack soldiers and bring bags of sulphur on board to pay the soldiers and then set on fire.

"We have no record of that." "It is a false claim," she said.

"All passengers have been trained in non-violence and non-compliance tactics." The idea is not step of having contacts with the Israeli army. We are not any violent confrontation... "Violence only that we have heard is from the Israeli army".

Chief of general staff lieutenant - general Benny Gantz said on Tuesday that the fleet is not intended to provide humanitarian aid to Gazans, but rather to delegitimize Israel internationally.

Gantz, speaking at a ceremony for IDF honor reservists, said there was no lack of basic supplies in the Gaza Strip, and that they "import televisions and plasma screens and the export of agricultural products in all the Arab world."

The Israeli army was well equipped and ready to deal with any threat posed by militants of the fleet, he said.

Speaking at the same ceremony, Defense Minister Ehud Barak called the flotilla a "provocation", adding that "there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza." If [activists] are sensitive to human suffering, then they need transform their efforts for releasing [kidnapped soldier] Gilad Schalit or at least allowing the visitors. »

Facing adult anger (Wall Street Journal)

Melissa Hoistion was enjoying dinner with her husband and three children at a restaurant in francs, N.J., recently - until the boy vanished for 20 minutes.

Her husband, Tim, began to murmur. Ms. Hoistion braced herself. "Uh-oh, here it comes," she remembers thinking.

"EXCUSE ME!" he shouted in the whole of the room for another boy, then stormed off the coast of complaining to the Manager. When the origin server finally return to the table, her husband had shouted, "where the hell minutes it since the last 45?" and continued of berating him until the man walked farther.

"Links" columnist Elizabeth Bernstein discusses the trial-and-true ways to care for family members who have anger management problems.

Set people at other tables. Ms. Hoistion, a representative old PR 35 years for drug and alcohol treatment center has developed its head down and a helping hand to his eyes. In the car on the way back, she told her husband, "you know I hate it when do you." It ruins the dinner. »

With the period holiday in full, are therefore a crisis in anger in stores, restaurants, and airports and little nearly anywhere else, really. People are exhausted, stressed and concerned about the money. Many have good adaptation to begin with, at any time of the year.

However, as anyone who has always loved someone with an instant temperament can tell you much more a meal can be ruined when an adult has an angry in public. Joe James, a psychologist in Bethesda, Maryland, 50 years, the knows only too well. He remembers how years earlier, when he was in school, it would snap to teachers, other drivers on the road, parents and friends of members. He was fired for a job as a computer repairer to shout subordinates for 15 minutes straight. Long term girlfriend said she was tired of walking on the shells of eggs and the left, after shouted his a too large number of times. His dog is afraid of him: one day, Mr. James was laughing loudly while talking on the phone, and the dog hiding under the bed. "I do not pleasant to live with someone," he explains.

Ms. Hoistion said she is accustomed her face husband loudly servers, noisy store or people managers in extremely embarrassing theatres, and she told him whenever he does. Yet he brushes off the coast of its concerns, says and insists that the behavior is justified. Thus, after one of its explosion, often argue, she says.

"And sometimes cry is not less than they deserve." He admitted that his voice will become "really, really hard, as the Green Giant Jolly giving you hell," when he gets mad.

To be clear, I am not violence here. Experts agree that leave you a relationship with a person physically or verbally abuse you. What I'm talking about are a public crisis – the anger of a boy - that some people directly to those unlucky enough to be in the vicinity lines.

People are angry for a variety of reasons, of course. Many are so has pointed out that any incident slightly shocking in their day defines the.

"Anger is a protective response to a perceived wrong, says Mr. James, who has taught himself to control his temperament and became an anger management professional expertise." "" If you're overwhelmed and something comes out of the next day, you will feel like a threat. »

Many people may be in denial about how crazy they get. When we get angry, the emotional brain Centre has a much greater than the part which governs the conscious thought influence. And some experts believe that the anger we become less aware we are the same.

How to keep a loved one angry ruining your relationship? Here are some tips from the experts.

Don't be not silent. It allows to ignore the bad behavior. And withdrawal makes angry person feel judged, said Joe James, psychologist and specialist in anger management.Validate feelings, not the behaviour. "Telling"Honey, I understand that you are really angry,"", says coach Karen McMahon, divorce and separation of Oceanside, New York ' you do not validate their response; you validate their feelings. And it is the fastest way to disarm them. "Explain later why behavior upsets you. Are you embarrassed? Irritated that out evening was ruined? Frustrated that the situation has caused delays? Say "I love you, but it is difficult for me to be favourable to you when you handle a situation like that."Question open to all. What the person feels about his behaviour? It is under stress? Try to understand what was going on.Edit your own behavior. Stop confirming your end of the relationship - refuse to Cook, say - until such time as the judgments of bad behavior. "As soon as one person starts to change, the dance has change," says Ms. McMahon. "Change happens always when you edit yourself, not the other person."

Then what to do when someone is fusion? Psychologists agree on the importance of remaining quiet when the other person explodes. This is not your anger. Do not withdraw completely, but restrict what you saying to validate the feelings of the person - you understand why it is angry - not bad behavior.

"It is unlikely that you have a constructive conversation when someone lies in the red zone," explains Susan Orenstein, psychologist Cary, N.C., who specializes in the management of anger. "But I think it is important to say something like:" I can't hear really you when you are launching things. " But I would be happy to listen to when you calm down. » "

After everyone has chastened, calmly explain why shocked you collapse. Ask your dear how anger made him feel and what could really sparked anger.

The person is worried about work, money, children? Try to ask open-ended questions, so you can really sense of what was going on.

At a given time, you may want to suggest professional help. You can indicate your dear you are concerned and that the behavior affects the relationship. You can suggest that you go to therapy. Even though will your dear go not, you can go alone.

In the meantime, you need to set the limits. Stop you to potentially explosive situations. Exit at dinner or travel with someone else. Single boutique. Drive your own car.

Consider an ultimatum - but only if say you.

"People always say they want to change," says Dr. James. "But that the cost of doing business the old way is more painful than the price evolution whatever, people are very reluctant to do so."
