Just some interesting facts to think about How much did a new car cost in 1985?
The car rental company said the average purchase price of a subcompact car in 1985 was $7,683, up $1,041 from $6,642 in 1984; a compact at $9,834 went up $721 from $9,113; an intermediate at $10,509 went up $406 from $10,103; and a full-size car at $13,829 went up $990 from $12,839. in todays dollars that would be $52,619 for a Full size car .

In 1985, the median household income in the United States was $23,620, according to the March 1986 Current Population Survey (CPS). The federal minimum wage in 1985 was $3.35 per hour. This rate remained in place from 1981 to 1989. In 1985, a full-time, year-round employee earning the minimum wage would have had a total income slightly below the poverty line for a nonelderly family of two, assuming they had no other sources of income.
According to a 1985 New York Times article, the median price of a single-family home in New York City and its suburbs was $125,400 in the first three months of that year. This was 25% more than the previous year and 78% more than three years earlier, and the article noted that home prices in the area were rising faster than anywhere else in the country.
Adjusted for inflation, $125,000 in 1985 is equal to $364,133 in 2024.
Annual inflation over this period was 2.78%.

Microwave oven
If you wanted to reheat leftovers quickly in 1985, you could get an 0.8-cubic-foot microwave from Sears for about $240. You'd nuke your budget at the same time, though, as that's the equivalent of $585 today. Sears now offers a similar model for $70.

IBM computer
The powerhouse of the home-computing world in 1985, an IBM PC XT would have set you back $4,395, assuming you got two disk drives and a monster 10-megabyte hard drive. In current dollars that's $10,705. Today, however, you can get a very nice ThinkPad T480 from Lenovo — which took over IBM's PC business in 2005 — for about $700. It includes a 512-gigabyte hard drive, a wireless internet connection and a 14-inch screen. And you can carry it around with you.

5 Characteristics of a Great Mediator
September 20, 2017 Fraser, Wilson & Bryan, P.C.
Mediation is growing in popularity, and it’s easy to see why. It’s faster and less expensive than the trial of a lawsuit, and both sides retain more control over the situation than they would if a judge was at the helm. Instead, they deal with a meditator whose job is to help facilitate a resolution that they devise.

Mediation is one of those rare processes that is both a science and an art form. All attorney mediators are first trained on how to facilitate communications between disputing parties, and over time develop an ability to deal with all kinds of people in a variety of circumstances. They suggest ways that a dispute may be resolved but refrain from imposing their own judgment on the issues at stake.

So what makes someone a “great” mediator? Although many positive qualities and skills come into play, the five characteristics below are invaluable when it comes to success.

Trustworthiness

A good mediator inspires trust. When people attend a mediation session, they want to believe that the mediator will keep all discussions confidential and use any information they receive to reach a mutually acceptable resolution to the situation. If clients don’t get this impression, they won’t talk openly and the purpose of mediation is defeated. On the other hand, if the mediator’s manner reflects sincerity, strength, and fairness, both sides may be more cooperative and receptive to the mediation process.

Approachability

Good mediators are seen as friendly, empathetic, and respectful. They listen carefully, appreciate the emotions and needs that underlie each conversation, and come across as genuinely concerned with the well-being of everyone involved. When they acknowledge feelings, display an appropriate sense of humor, and convey a sense of optimism, both sides to a dispute will, in theory, follow suit.

Dedication

Dedication is a sterling quality in all professionals, and mediators are no exception. When they devote time before each session to properly prepare and work diligently to achieve a positive outcome in every situation, their effectiveness in dispute resolution increases. Clients are quick to perceive when a mediator is applying extra effort to bring about a fair conclusion.

Perceptiveness

Parties to a dispute want mediators who can quickly grasp a situation, understand its complexities and dynamics, and provide a clearer understanding of options by analyzing the issues and identifying risk. This level of perceptiveness enables more creative problem solving and increases the chances of an outcome that both sides find acceptable.

Impartial

When it comes to successful mediation, impartiality is as important as approachability. To be effective, a mediator must be able to control their feelings and not invest emotionally in the outcome of the proceedings. That way they are better able to create, identify, and take advantage of opportunities that help both sides realize their goals.

Mediation is arguably one of the best conflict resolution processes, being more positive and less expensive than litigation. Mediation is highly effective, and more than 80% of cases referred to mediation are resolved at mediation. At Fraser, Wilson & Bryan, P.C. we make mediation services available to resolve personal injury matters, family law conflicts, business matters, and more.

What Happens in a Mediation Session?
Mediation sessions usually begin with the introduction of the mediator to the two parties. The mediator will provide procedural ground rules, such as making no interruptions when the other party is speaking. He/she will explain the mediation process including clarification of the issue of session confidentiality, securing agreement on time allocation and securing a commitment from the parties to seek resolution in good faith. The mediator will then explain the role of the mediator -- to be an impartial facilitator, not an advocate or judge of either party, not take sides or regardless they are only there to assist the parties in arriving at their own solutions. The mediator does not reveiw the case before the parties attends mediation and usually does not have any case filings unless provided by the parties prior to mediation.

The mediator will end the opening statement by informing the disputants that any settlement agreement developed during the session must be reviewed by them or their attorney before they sign the agreement and usually is sent by email for the parties to review at their leisure before the parties sign. After it is signed by the parties the settlement agreement is enforceable and binding.

After the opening statement from the mediator, the mediator will ask the person initiating the mediation session -- usually the aggrieved employee -- to explain in his/her own words the nature of the complaint and what type of remedy he/she is seeking. The mediator will then ask the respondent to make an opening statement to explain in his/her own words his/her perspective of the complaint.

The mediator will proceed to facilitate the session so that clarifying questions can be asked and potential solutions can be discussed. Everyone is encouraged throughout the process to be thinking of ways in which the dispute might be settled to the satisfaction of each party.

Following the joint discussions, the mediator may caucus as necessary. A caucus is a private meeting during which the mediator talks with each party separately about the dispute. Information revealed in the caucus that is confidential will not be shared in the other caucus or when the parties reconvene in a joint session unless the party providing the confidential information permits the mediator to share it.

Following the caucuses, the mediator will reconvene the joint session and determine if there is any area of agreement between the parties on any issue. If not, the parties will continue to negotiate and caucus with the mediator, if necessary, until it is clear that a settlement is or is not going to emerge at this session. Sometimes there is a need to reconvene the mediation on another day, or to consult with another person at a later date before an agreement can be considered. In such instances, the terms of that decision must be made jointly by all parties and be put in writing and signed by all parties before the conclusion of the mediation session.
If a settlement is reached, the parties will draft the terms of the settlement agreement that are acceptable to the parties. It is suggested that each party confer with an attorney to discuss appropriate language relating to personnel actions or benefits before drafting the terms of the agreement. The agreement will then be reviewed by their attorney if they have one . Once the settlement agreement is cleared by the concurrences, the parties will sign the settlement agreement. The agreement will then be submitted to the courts by the parties .
