confusedMy mother used to always tell me - "Son u should be diplomatic and strategic in your communication with other people and you relationhip"... But what happens when you find yourself in between of 2 of your closest people and each one's truth and fairness is the total opposite for the other. What happens when each action of one or the other party is understood negatively towards the second? Should I leave it alone? Fight for it? Get involved in telling lies to both just to keep the peace for the sake of time? When will the peace come? It feels like dancing in between of 2 flames each one of which becomes stronger or weaker periodically...

impressedHe appeared in 2007, on September, 13, after a mistake made by a journalist of one of Russian Web News Agencies Fyodor Ponomaryov , who failed to recall the name of the proposed prime-minister and replaced the name Viktor Zubkov with Viktor Pipiskin (a surname origined from the word "pipiska", a slang for "genitals"). The article was deleted after 30 seconds after uploading to the News Website, but it was too late, because RSS-channels copied the news to many other sites. The journalist was fired but the new virtual politician became even more popular then the real politicians in Runet (Russian Internet area). Many people became real Pipiskin's fans and create Pipiskin communities in LiveJournal and even created an "official site of Victor Pipiskin". This website took the 22-nd position in Top 30 of Russian Political Websites. The Pipiskin phenomena was the first precedent of a really popular virtual politician.

calmToday I want to tell you about one of the businessmen whom I really admire...
Russell Simmons (born October 4, 1957 in Queens, New York), is an American entrepreneur, the co-founder, with Rick Rubin, of the pioneering hip-hop label Def Jam, founder of another label, Russell Simmons Music Group, and creator of the clothing fashion line Phat Farm and the fragrance label Atman.
Russell Simmons is the younger brother of Daniel "Danny" Simmons, Jr and he is the older brother of Rev. Joseph Simmons, better known as "Run" of Run-DMC, and son of Daniel Simmons, Sr, a public school administrator. His brother Daniel "Danny" Simmons, Jr is an accomplished abstract artist.
Since May 2005 he has been a contributing blogger at The Huffington Post.
Russell Simmons is the third richest hip hop entrepreneur, having a net-worth estimate of $340 million.[1] He is only behind Jay-Z at $547M, and P Diddy at $358M.
Recently, Simmons brought his show Def Poetry to Broadway as a live show, earning awards for the youthful and multicultural cast.
Simmons, in partnership with a financial institution, released a line of re-loadable Visa debit cards aimed at consumers who would otherwise have problems obtaining a credit card account. These prepaid cards include the RushCard and the Baby Phat RushCard.
In July 2006, Simmons, in addition to other members of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, was named a Goodwill Ambassador of CISRI-ISP.[1] According to the press release, Simmons' appointment will help "launch an awareness campaign utilizing hip-hop as a vehicle to address war, poverty and HIV/AIDS, in support of the UN Millennium Development Goals as well as the CISRI-ISP fight against severe poverty and malnutrition [5]. On August 24,2006, Simmons hosted a reception in support of Republican United States Senate candidate from Maryland, Michael Steele [6]. In December 2006, Simmons was criticized for claims that he made following a tour organized by De Beers, of Botswana's Jwaneng mine, one of the world's richest diamond mines. This was part of a nine day, three country trip through Africa. Some expressed concern that this was part of a larger public relations effort organized by De Beers to counter expected controversies following the release of the movie Blood Diamond. Simmons' response was that he felt too much focus has been put on "conflict diamonds" and that his job was "to take what's good and make it better"[7]. Russell Simmons also is a U.S. board of directors for Upliftment Jamaica (www.upliftmentjamaica.org) an organization started by Gary Foster, Vice President of Rush Communication which seeks to empower impoverished communities throughout Jamaica and the Caribbean.
Simmons has since gained attention by calling for the removal of the words 'nigga', 'bitch' and 'ho' from the "clean" radio edited versions of rap songs[8].
In July 2007, Simmons, frustrated that the Howard Stern Show would not book him as a guest to promote his recent book, vented on the Jay Thomas radio show by bad mouthing Stern show producer Gary Dell'Abate. When Stern heard this, he called Simmons and immediately booked Simmons for the show on July 24, 2007 to talk about this. The two are now friends.
In 2007, it's rumored that Simmons met in Detroit with filmmaker, producer, entertainment business consultant Dionciel Armstrong to discuss his plans to buy a stake in Armstrong's Rap Files Enterprises, Inc. that produces a monthly newspaper, dvd series, and internet video magazine to produce a "Nigga Free" publication. Dionciel hasn't made a decision to partner with Simmons but the two has plans to partner in film, business, and publications in the future.
