For most companies, having an external facilitator guide all meetings is not feasible or practical. So who should the facilitator be? Who you pick as a facilitator can be the difference between success and failure. The natural assumption may be the leader of the team, and while in some cases that may make sense, in others it wouldn't. In this video, Prakash discusses the characteristics of the facilitator you should seek for your meetings.

The Kingdom Of Waalo
SKU ISBN: 9780966020113
"This is a well-written and closely reasoned book, a valuable and lucid contribution to the… history of West African societies."
—The Journal of African History
"This book is a major contribution to our understanding of West African society during the period of the Atlantic slave trade…. All in all, [this] book is an excellent piece of research, well-written and well argued."
—Canadian Journal of African Studies
"This book is a welcome addition to the [writing] of African history by African Historians… and Barry has been able to reconstruct the Waalo political narrative with remarkable detail."
—International Journal of African Historical Studies
Situated along the Senegal River, the Kingdom of Waalo was the smallest of the Wolof states of Senegal, but it illustrates the broader consequences of a shift from trans-Saharan to trans-Atlantic commerce during a time of competing European, Muslim, and indigenous African forces. From the establishment of a French trading post in 1659 to the early nineteenth century, the history of Waalo was closely tied to French interests in St. Louis, popular revolutionary Islamic movements, and internal rivalries between competing royal families and provincial leaders. Stimulating Waalo's sociopolitical changes were the devastation and fluctuations of the Atlantic slave trade, as well as the Muslim attack on its aristocracy. Torn by internal divisions, devastated by French and Berber incursions, Waalo's institutions and its economy declined. Residents of Waalo sought their own solutions only for external agents to ruin their efforts. By the nineteenth century, the French attempted to establish a plantation economy in Waalo, culminating in their military control of the state and the Senegal valley. This newly translated study is a vital tool in our understanding of Senegal's history, its place in the era of trans-Saharan and trans-Atlantic commerce, and its development into the present. The book will be of value to African studies scholars, anthropologists, and historians of Africa, colonialism, empire, and post-colonialism.

The aim of the archive is to be a collection of photographs from the past 100 years showing women at work, rest and play, creating a wider historical context for the First Women Portrait Collection.
This is an opportunity for everyone to contribute archival material that will allow their ancestors to live on in the First Women project and to become an educational resource for others. If you have a photographic image of your mother, your grand-mother or another female relative who is "of their time" – perhaps working in a bygone profession (for example in the typing pool in the fifties or sixties, "below stairs" in the 1900s in a grand house or even in a Second World War munitions factory) – please scan your images and visit our history pin collection and add your images in the relevant category.

Home News PDP heads to appeal court as tribunal upholds Fayemi's election
PDP heads to appeal court as tribunal upholds Fayemi's election
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said it would appeal the judgement of Ekiti State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja which upheld the election of Kayode Fayemi as the duly elected Governor of Ekiti State.
The three-man panel of the tribunal in a unanimous decision dismissed the suit filed by the PDP and its candidate, Prof. Olubunmi Kolapo Olusola.
The tribunal held that the various allegations raised against the elections by the petitioners, were not proved as required by law, adding that worthless documents were dumped at the tribunal.
The Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Suleiman Bolaji Belgore, said that contrary to the claims by the petitioners, Fayemi was duly and lawfully returned as winner of majority votes by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The tribunal specifically said that Fayemi scored 197,459 as against 178,121 votes scored by Olusola in the election conducted by INEC on July 14,2018.
In its judgment the tribunal said the plaintiffs failed to established the allegations of corruption, malpractices, ballot box snatching, non-accreditation, over voting and deliberate voiding of votes, made against the defendants.
Justice Belgore noted that the petitioners only called 71 witnesses as against 926 listed to be invited to testify for them, adding that the 71 witnesses were scanty and insufficient to establish the fact of the various issues raised in the petition.
"Out of 2,158 polling units in the state, the conduct of the election was challenged in 1,458 units, while only 41 polling agents were called to testify as to what transpired in the areas in dispute", the tribunal noted.
The judge held that calling 41 polling agents as witnesses out of 1,458 polling units was fatal to the case of the petitioners because the 41 agents invited as witnesses were too scanty and grossly few to make any impact in the petition.
Besides, the tribunal also held that written depositions by the petitioners' witnesses were haphazardly done and in the process no probative value could be attached to the depositions by the tribunal.
The tribunal added that all the witnesses called by the plaintiffs all voted unhindered and never told the tribunal of harassment, molestation, thuggery and other forms of electoral malpractice as alleged by the petitioners.
Justice Belgore dismissed the claims by the petitioners that Fayemi at the time of the election was not qualified to stand for governorship election on the ground of his alleged indictment by the Justice Oyewole Commission of Inquiry.
The judge held that Section 182 of the 1999 Constitution relied upon by the petitioners to get the APC candidate disqualified had been deleted by the alteration done to the constitution on July 16,2010 by the National Assembly when the alteration took effect.
The judge further said that apart from the fact that the aspect of the law had been deleted, a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in a judgment delivered by Justice Othman Musa had nullified and set aside the report of the commission of inquiry on the ground that it was biased against Governor Fayemi.
The tribunal stated that before arriving at its conclusion it took a careful look at the report, which prohibited Fayemi from holding public office for 10 years and found that the recommendation for the ban was due to non-appearance of Fayemi before the commission of inquiry and not on embezzlement of public funds as required by the law.
In all, the tribunal held that the petitioners failed to prove that they scored higher number of votes in the election and that they also failed to prove that Fayemi was not validly returned as the winner.
But reacting to the judgment, the PDP said that though the judiciary was passing through a trying time under the dictatorial tendencies of the Muhammadu Buhari presidency, it urged the lord justices to stand for justice by restoring the mandate freely given to the PDP candidate, Olusola Eleka, at the July 14, 2018 governorship election in Ekiti State.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement yesterday said the judgment of the tribunal would surely be overturned at the Court of Appeal and victory handed to the PDP and its candidate.
According to him, "The Court of Appeal will consider the matter strictly on its merit, particularly with the abounding evidence of rigging including violence, vote-buying, ballot stuffing and alteration of results perpetrated by the APC are still intact."
The PDP stressed that the entire nation and the international community had widely condemned the manipulation that marred the Ekiti governorship election, believing that justice would be served at the end of the day.

Prior to his hiring at Tennessee, English spent two seasons as an assistant coach on Tad Boyle's staff at Colorado. During that time, the Buffaloes posted back-to-back winning seasons, going 40-28. Colorado reached the quarterfinals of the 2019 NIT and finished with the third-most wins in program history (23).
In May 2018, the NABC included English on its 2017-18 Under Armour 30-under-30 listing, which honored up-and-coming young collegiate coaches. He was one of only five selections from "Power Five" programs.
"Kim is outstanding," Barnes said. "When I coached against him, I loved his competitive fire. And when he got into coaching and I spent time with him on the road recruiting, I knew there was something special about him. He's got tremendous energy and drive and is a great communicator. Our players will love working with him.
In 2018-19, English helped Tyler Bey and McKinley Wright IV earn first-team All-Pac-12 honors. Bey also was named Pac-12 Most Improved Player after leading the Buffaloes with 13.6 points and 9.9 rebounds and logging 17 double-doubles. In English's first season at Colorado, he coached All-Pac-12 honoree George King, who was selected by the Phoenix Suns in the 2018 NBA Draft.
The Tigers won a school-record 31 games while making a run to the 2009 Elite Eight in English's freshman campaign.
He averaged a career-best 14.5 points as a senior in 2011-12 and ranked fifth in the Big 12 with 78 3-point makes, while leading Missouri to 30 wins, one of two Big 12 Tournament titles during his career and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. He was named Most Outstanding Player of the 2012 Big 12 Tournament after averaging 23.0 points and shooting 78 percent during the Tigers' championship run.

Bookies Back 'Arthur' For Royal Baby Name
It is clear that Prince Harry is over the moon following the birth of his son. Now, the focus has shifted towards the name of the new entrant to the royal family.
The bookies have offered their latest odds on the name and according to them 'Arthur' is leading the probable list of names at 5/1. Meanwhile, 'Albert' and 'Philip' are just behind with 6/1. Further down the list are James at 8/1 and both Alexander and Alfred on for 10/1.
Names like Thomas, Spencer, Charles, Edward, Henry, and Richard also feature in the list. The birth of Prince Harry's son was announced in a statement from Buckingham Palace's Instagram page.
It said: "We are pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their firstborn child in the early morning on May 6th, 2019. Their Royal Highnesses' son weighs 7lbs. 3oz.
"The Duchess and baby are both healthy and well, and the couple thank members of the public for their shared excitement and support during this very special time in their lives. More details will be shared in the forthcoming days.
In an unusual turn of events, Prince Harry came out and spoke to a horde of press outside Frogmore Cottage.
Speaking about the birth, he praised his 'incredible' wife.
He said: "I'm very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy earlier this morning, a very healthy boy. Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It's been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined.
"How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension, but we're both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there. It's been amazing, so I just wanted to share this with everybody."
He added: "I haven't been in many births, this is definitely my first birth! But it was amazing, absolutely incredible, and as I said, I'm so incredibly proud of my wife.
"As every father and parent would say, your baby is absolutely amazing. But this little thing is absolutely to die for, so I'm just over the moon."

The first step towards email marketing success is to achieve a healthy email open rate. The average open rate in Great Britain is 24 percent. This is slightly lower than the average across Europe, which stands at 29 percent.
As well as varying between countries, average open rates also vary between industries. Despite these variations, one fact remains universal: the higher your open rate, the greater your opportunity to drive conversions.
You can tailor your email subject line to resonate with each segment. This increases the likelihood of your emails being opened.
Testing your send times can help boost your email open rates. Different audiences are more responsive at different times.
If you want to get really clever, try using our Intelligent Timed Send feature. This personalises send times for each individual recipient — a smart way to increase open rates.
Try personalising your subject lines to catch your recipient's attention and tempt them to open.
You could use their first name, products they previously browsed, or location data as a way to personalise.
Creating a sense of urgency in your subject line is a smart way to compel recipients to open now before they miss out.
For example, use the subject line to highlight that the discount code inside the email will expire in 24 hours.
Subject lines are important but they aren't the only way to grab your recipient's attention. Try changing the preview text in your emails to give you maximum inbox impact.
Use your preview text to build upon the message containing in your subject line and persuade your recipient to open.
Your subject line and preview text are opportunities to make your recipient feel special.
Don't address your customers en masse. Instead, write as though you are addressing one person. Each customer should feel like they are being offered something exclusive. Just for them.
Rather than emailing people out of the blue, try sending behavioural triggered emails. This is an effective way to increase open rates.
When your email is sent in response to an action someone has just taken online, your message will be both timely and contextually relevant. This means people are much more likely to open it.
Emails could be triggered for any number of reasons. Cart abandonment emails are triggered when a person leaves a website with items still in their cart. Almost 50% of all cart abandonment emails are opened.
As we've already explored, subject lines are a key tool in your arsenal to increase open rates.
Testing subject line length is important. Some audiences may respond better if you keep it short and sweet. Others may like a wordier approach.
Test and learn what subject line length works best for your audience.
While it is important that your emails clearly come from your brand, you might get a better response if you include a person's name in the sender field.
Receiving an email from a specific person at a brand feels more personal. This personal touch may help to increase your email open rates.
Avoiding spam filters is crucial if you want to increase your email open rates. Choosing a reliable email service provider is key. As is having a recognisable sender name.
Optimising your emails for different mail clients and devices is another important way to increase your open rates.
If your emails don't look good in the inbox, people may be put off opening them. Test your subject line length for mobile. This may be different to desktop. Be sure to also check how your email appears when received by different mail clients.
Nurture campaigns are email campaigns which help you to strengthen the relationship with each customer.
Including nurture campaigns in your email strategy can have a positive effect on your email open rates. If customers feel connected to your brand, they are more likely to open your emails.
To keep your open rates healthy, remember to maintain the hygiene of your email list.
Cleaning your list involves removing any incorrect email addresses that keep bouncing back. Customers that have not engaged for some time should also be removed from your list.
This will leave you with a slightly smaller but more engaged list, and higher open rates.
Our fourteenth and final tip for increasing open rates is never stop testing.
Adopting a test and learn approach is key if you want to maximise open rates and other email marketing metrics.
Test, measure, analyse, refine, and improve. This should become your email marketing mantra.
We hope our fourteen ways to increase open rates have equipped you with some new strategies — and reinforced those already in place.
Whatever your open rate is today, chances are there is room for improvement. Increasing your email open rate, opens to door to more conversions. Drive conversions in greater numbers and increased revenue is the natural by-product.
Once you're happy that you are doing your due diligence when it comes to boosting open rates, consider what you can do to improve your email click-through rate.
To build a foundation for email marketing success, it is important that you have the right email marketing platform in place.

Repmobile. Ford Repmobile.
According to the guys and gals over at Softpedia, James Bond fans are said to be "shaken, not stirred" at word that their on-screen hero will drive a Ford Mondeo in the upcoming 007 epic, Casino Royale. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Yes, as if word of Pierce Brosnan's departure as the British super agent wasn't enough to worry the faithful, Dearborn has apparently paid some 14 million pounds (almost $25M USD) to put Bond behind the wheel of what most British driving enthusiasts refer to as a 'repmobile.' Yes, a damned sight more interesting than, say, a Five-Hundred, but to most auto afficianados, Mondeo has an air of 'company/fleet' car about it. Hopefully it will at least be something on the order of an ST 220.
At least it'll be a "souped-up" example capable of 224kmh (138mph), but somehow the only thing that salves our movie-going souls is word that that Craig Bond will have access to an Aston Martin as well.
Keen moviegoers will remember that this isn't the first car-controversy stirred up by a bit of Bond product-placement-- a large number of devotees were perturbed upon learning that 007 would drive a German BMW Z3 in GoldenEye, instead of piloting something British.

Florence is a medium-sized city located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 32,305 people and nine constituent neighborhoods, Florence is the eighth largest community in Kentucky.
Florence real estate is some of the most expensive in Kentucky, although Florence house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.
Unlike some cities, Florence isn't mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Florence are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Florence is a city of sales and office workers, professionals, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Florence who work in office and administrative support (16.38%), sales jobs (10.70%), and management occupations (10.40%).
Also of interest is that Florence has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
The citizens of Florence are slightly better educated than the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns, with 24.66% of adults in Florence having a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
The per capita income in Florence in 2010 was $29,922, which is wealthy relative to Kentucky, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $119,688 for a family of four. However, Florence contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Florence is a somewhat ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Florence home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Florence residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in Florence include German, Irish, English, Italian, and French.
The most common language spoken in Florence is English. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish and Polish.


Objective(s):To determine the molecular and cellular mechanisms of spinal cord regeneration in zebrafish.
Materials and Methods: Medical databases of PubMed and Scopus were searched with following key words: Zebrafish; spinal cord injuries; regeneration; recovery of function. The map of mechanisms was performed using Xmind software.
Results: Wnt/ß-catenin signaling, L1.1, L1.2, Major vault protein (MVP), contactin-2 and High mobility group box1 (HMGB1) had positive promoting effects on axonal re-growth while Ptena had an inhibitory effect. Neurogenesis is stimulated by Wnt/ß-catenin signaling as well as HMGB1, but inhibited by Notch signaling. Glial cells proliferate in response to fibroblast growth factor (fgf) signaling and Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Furthermore, fgf signaling pathway causes glia bridge formation in favor of axonal regeneration. LPA and HMGB1 in acute phase stimulate inflammatory responses around injury and suppress regeneration. LPA also induces microglia activation and neuronal death in addition to glia cell proliferation, but prevents neurite sprouting.
Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive review of the known molecules and mechanisms in the current literature involved in the spinal cord injury (SCI) regeneration in zebrafish, in a time course manner. A better understanding of the whole determining mechanisms for the SCI regeneration should be considered as a main goal for future studies.

Air ambulance rescues elderly man stranded in Richardson Backcountry
An elderly man is safe after he was rescued from the Richardson Backcountry as temperatures plunged well below freezing levels.
The Local HERO (Helicopter Emergency Response Organization) were dispatched at 5 a.m. on Nov., 24 after a call for help that came through the Fort McMurray Fire Department. The man in his 80s parked his truck near the start of the Fort Chipewyan Winter Road and drove his quad into the woods for trapping near the Richardson Backcountry sand dunes.
Trouble began when his quad's drive belt broke. While he was able to replace it, the replacement also broke. With temperatures hovering around –37 with windchill, the man realized he was in a dangerous situation. He called a friend in Lac La Biche who was able to reach the Fort McMurray Fire Department. They then dispatched the medevac team.
Paul Spring, owner of Phoenix Heli-Flight and president of the Local HERO Foundation, said the man had been able to start a small fire but had trouble maintaining it.
"It was starting to fail in the cold and lose strength. It was barely even visible on our night vision goggles, which is something because those have light amplification technology. We can usually see even the face of a cell phone from 30 miles," said Spring.
The man did not have any injuries when emergency crews arrived and just wanted to get warm. The paramedics and flight crew took him back to his truck. They waited with him until his vehicle was running and he was warm again. He then told them he did not need to go to the hospital.

Oil flow resumes at Iraq-Turkey pipeline following blast
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A pipeline that carries oil from Iraq to world markets resumed operating Wednesday after an explosion in southeastern Turkey forced it to shut down for several hours. No one was hurt in the explosion late Tuesday near the town of Pazarcik in Kahramanmaras province. The blast caused a huge fire, and authorities also closed a highway, state-run Turkish news outlet Anadolu Agency reported. The pipeline carries oil from the Kirkuk oil fields in northern Iraq to the Turkish port
Peloton plans workforce size review, production changes
Shares in the exercise bike maker, once a pandemic darling, closed down 24% at about $24, wiping off nearly $2.5 billion in market value. "We now need to evaluate our organization structure and size of our team," CEO John Foley said. According to the CNBC report, Peloton, in a confidential presentation dated Jan. 10, said it had seen a "significant reduction" in demand and that it planned to pause bike production in February and March.


MR. JUSTICE D. M. CAMPBELL: These are two appeals by the Attorney-General under section 669A of the Criminal Code against the sentences imposed by a Stipendiary Magistrate on 17 July 1979 at Brisbane on the respondents, Virginia Rosemary Leslie and Ronald Bruce Smith. Both appeals have been heard together.
The respondents pleaded guilty to having a prohibited plant in their possession for a purpose specified under section 130(2)(c) of the Health Act, that is, sale. The prohibited plant was Indian Hemp and the total net weight of the plant material was 783 grams. This comprised 52 deals having a market value of approximately $1,300. The Magistrate placed each of them on probation for three years.
Counsel for them informed the Magistrate that the marijuana was grown on a 180-acre property in the Obi Obi Valley. This property had been jointly owned by several couples, including the respondent Leslie and her husband, and an elderly lady and her daughter. The respondent Leslic's marriage broke down and she left the property early in 1978 and took a job at Buderim. She returned to the property in October of that year and found that squatters had moved in. These people were removed from the property but she discovered that they had been growing marijuana in her absence. Counsel said that the plant material, the subject of the charge represented about the whole of this crop. It appears that the respondents had entered into a de facto relationship and that they were both on the property when arrested. At the time of their arrest, so the Magistrate was informed, they were both addicted to heroin and their habit was costing them 5600 to $700 a week.
These facts were apparently accepted by the Magistrate: They were not disputed by the prosecuting sergeant. It was pressed before the Magistrate that the sale of the marijuana was to support an addiction and not for profit per se. In each instance the Magistrate had reports from Doctor Bolton of the Drug dependence Unit to the effect that the optimal means of helping them to achieve a stable, drug-free lifestyle was to ensure their attendance at the clinic for treatment, counselling and tests.
The maximum sentence for this offence when dealt with summarily is two years' imprisonment and/or a fine of $2,000. The Magistrate made it a condition of the probation order that the respondents attend as may be directed at the Drug Dependence Unit for such tests and treatment as may be deemed necessary by the Director, It is not a rule that persons convicted of this particular offence should be sent to gaol, as was pointed out in the Queen against Snell and McGregor, 1979 Queensland Reports, 47. The Magistrate, in making the probation order, obviously had rehabilitation rather than retribution in mind. He had before him the reports from Dr. Bolton that I have referred to, and we have had placed before us a subsequent report by Dr. Bolton to the effect that the compliance of both respondents with the programme instituted, as a result of the probation has been very good. We have also had the advantage of hearing evidence from their probation officers to the effect that they have both been co-operative on probation. Mr. Alexander, who is the respondent Smith's probation officer stated that Smith does not fall into the usual pattern of drug offenders.
Both the respondents are young people. Smith is 22 years of age and a single man, and is a plumber by trade. He has had three previous convictions for being in possession of small quantities of marijuana and being in possession of a pipe. Since being before the Magistrate he has secured perment employment in his trade.
The respondent Leslie, on the other hand, is 28 years of age. She is, as I have mentioned, a married woman, but she has had some university training and is possessed of some skills. She has been employed looking after children since the probation order was made but is out of work at the present time. This respondent has no previous convictions.
I think a probation order was within the discretionary limits of the sentencing power of the Magistrate and I do not think that we would be justified in imposing a different sentence in all the circumstances of these cases.
MR. JUSTICE HOARE: I agree with the reasons and conclusions of my brother, the presiding judge. The problem of sentencing for drug offences is more difficult than for most other criminal offences. In some cases substantial prison sentences are appropriate. In other cases a properly supervised pronation order, with reasonable prospects for the rehabilitation of the offender, is likely to be in the best interests of the community.
MR. JUSTICE KNEIPP: I also agree.
MR. JUSTICE D. M. CAMPBELL: The order is that both appeals will be dismissed.


Can you please tell me what the cedar exterior is coated with?
For the cabins we used clear Wood X oil. In our experience we have had successful results with both Wood X and Dryden Woodoil. The cladding does require a substantial amount of re-coating every 2 years to preserve the quality of the timber.
Parquet floor yay or nay?
what to do with this dated and uncool exterior?

Absalom and Achitophel Summary | GradeSaver
"A sinister note of approaching darkness in Macbeth, III. 2, 42.
''ere, to black Hecate's summons,
The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hum
Hath rung night's yawning peal, there shall be done
A deed of dreadful note.''
Dryden (Absalom and Achitophel, Pt. I. ll. 301, 2) employs the beetle to crush
''such beetle things
As only buzz to heaven with evening wings.''
In December 1746 Collins published among other poems his Ode to Evening, and Joseph Warton's volume including, I believe, his 'Evening' appeared in the same month and year. Collins writes:
''Now air is hushed save [where the weak-eyed bat
With short shrill shriek flits by on leathern wing
Or] where the beetle winds
His small but sullen horn
As oft he rises 'midst the twilight path
Against the pilgrim borne in heedless hum.'' "

John Dryden is a famous poet of his time
Literary Terms and Definitions: A - Carson-Newman …
In , the leader of the group of antagonists to King David (Charles II) is Achitophel (Anthony Ashley Cooper), the first Earl of Shaftesbury. Achitophel exploited the anti-Catholicism created by the Popish Plot, and placed his support behind the Exclusion Bill, which would prevent James from succeeding his brother Charles to the throne. Achitophel selects Absalom (King Charles' illegitimate son) as the fittest candidate for kingship.

Second: while an epic tells a story, it is essentially a patriotic and didactic composition. The moral element in Absalom and Achitophel with such figures as a King, the Mob and the Tempter, shows its kinship with a heroic poem.

English proverbs (alphabetically by proverb) - Wikiquote
With studied flattery and art, Achitophel begins a long temptation speech to seduce Absalom to this rebellious cause. Absalom is told that the country anxiously desires him to become King. King Charles has lost popular support since the promulgation of the Popish Plot. Besides, the King has no allies anymore, and Egypt (France) would help Absalom win the throne. Absalom has not only royal blood but the complete support of the people. He thus would be a much more powerful ruler than a King by succession (James, for example).
Proverbs are popularly defined as short expressions of popular wisdom
Absalom has been made drunk by flattery and his ambition has been kindled. He, however, defends his father in generous terms. David, he believes, is a good King, and has also been personally good to him. Hence he should not turn against his father. He points out that the crown should rightfully be given to David's brother who also possesses every royal virtue. Absalom knows that his illegitimate birth gives him no legal right to the throne, he laments and even rejects his mother for having no royal blood, and wishes he had been born higher.
Literary Terms and Definitions: A - Carson-Newman College
At this display of momentary weakness, Achitophel renews his temptation. The throne needs someone like Absalom who has a powerful nature. King David, by contrast, has become weak and gives the people more than they need. Achitophel assures that he has carefully weakened the nation's willingness to accept either Charles or James, then it is their right to select their own King. Further, James watches Absalom's popularity with much suspicion and envy, so that, if James assumes power, he will seek to eliminate Absalom. Therefore, Absalom should exercise the right of self-defense.

Finally, the heroic basis of Absalom and Achitophel appears clearly in the speeches which recall the classical epic and Milton's . They are superb examples of forensic oratory. It is an education in the ways of rhetoric to watch Achitophel in his first speech to Absalom which begins with cunning flattery and praises, to the artful temptation that he should betray his father. Even more skillful are the words: "more slow than Hybla drops and far more sweet", which Absalom addresses the crowd. The hypocrisy of the speech is brilliant.
Dryden wrote a great allegorical satire named Absalom and Achitophel

Well, dear readers, I'm quite bored of the heat wave, the tropical heat wave we're having here in Los Angeles, California, USA. Of course, on Sunday the radio weatherperson assured us that Monday would be much cooler. Please tell this person to look for another line of work, because I just don't see 100 degrees as "much cooler." It was so hot outside that it was like stepping into a sauna bath. I tried not to step outside too much, but one does have to do things so I was hot, with a capital H and that rhymes with – well, what DOES that rhyme with. My goodness H is an annoying letter that doesn't rhyme with any other letter. In any case, I've about had it with the heat wave, the tropical heat wave, because it's too darn hot and it's like a steam heat, and all that heat gives me fever. Speaking of fever, yesterday was hot. For example, I got up. It was hot. I packaged up a few orders and took them to the postal office, where it was hot. I then drove into Hollywood, California to buy a magazine at Larry Edmunds Bookshop where, you guessed it, it was hot. I then came home and did a bunch of things, none of which I can remember. I did do more conforming on the Brain script, because I have to turn it in in about a week. Our deal with Rodgers and Hammerstein is now all set – we're just waiting on our contracts to sign. I'm very excited about this – they think the Brain will do very well, and it's really the first thing since Nudie Musical and The Faculty where it could generate some really nice income if it proves to be a popular show, licensing-wise. I then went to Gelson's and got some of their yummilicious ribs, which was my meal o' the day. I did a few errands, and then the day was done and yes, Virginia, it was still hot. It's still hot as I write these here notes. I then sat on my couch like so much fish.
Last night, I watched a motion picture on DVD entitled Charlie Chan In Reno, starring Mr. Sidney Toler and Miss Phyllis Brooks. Sorry to say it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as Charlie Chan In Honolulu, which preceded it. Oh, it was fun to watch, but the story wasn't that interesting and the humor was forced. Still, at seventy-one minutes it was fairly painless. The transfer, like CC in Honolulu, is excellent.
After the movie, I did some work at the piano, and then I listened to several CDs, the best of which was Alex North's marvelously marvelous score to John Frankenheimer's film, All Fall Down.
Well, why don't we all click on the Unseemly Button below because, frankly, this section is having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.
I've put out feelers to two actors who I want to do the Nudie Musical reading – I'm hoping they'll be in town and want to do it, because I know they'd both be great. Meanwhile, we're going to do the informal reading of the musical I'm mentoring on June 10, and I'm thinking about doing the Nudie reading two or three weeks later – sooner than I was planning, but I'm really ready to hear it out loud now.
I'm still hoping we do the book design session today or this evening, but thus far I haven't had confirmation. My time isn't quite as free after today, so let's just hope Mr. Geissman will be available.
Thursday is already very busy – doing a walk-through at the charity venue – the Wilshire Ebell Theater, and then rushing back here for a rehearsal with the gals and our musical director.
Have I mentioned that it's hot? I'm now listening to George Duning's incredibly incredible score to Toys In The Attic. I'm told that this is one of FSM's worst-selling CDs, which just shows there are a lot of people out there who simply won't take chances on anything, unless it's from their own era – which in the case of their customers is mostly people who grew up in the 80s. Feh. What a gorgeous score it is.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, hopefully do a book design session, enter a few more fixes on the Brain script, print out the Nudie script, work at the piano, and then have something fun to eat. Today's topic of discussion: There have been a lot of movie series like the Charlie Chan movies. What are your favorite movie series, and what are your favorites within the series – of course, it can include more modern series like Die Hard or The Hunt From Red October and stuff like that, but mostly I'm interested in hearing opinions on the older stuff like Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto, The Saint, The Falcon, Ma and Pa Kettle, Francis, The Talking Mule, etc. Let's have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst we hopefully have some respite from our heat wave, our tropical heat wave.


And so the potty training continues. You can pop over and read Triplet Potty Training Week 1 if you missed out last week.
We have been allowing them to spend as much time with 'big girl/boy' pants or no pants at all as much as possible. I had been putting nappies on them to sleep. It soon became apparent that Imogen was holding on for as long as possible to do a wee in the nappy. I then started to put her to bed with no nappy whatsoever. I was very surprised that she was waking up dry from her daytime nap! In the evening if she hadn't been to the toilet I also put her down without a nappy, which did mean wet sheets on one night. The second night she fell asleep without wetting the bed and I put a nappy on her after she was asleep. Most of the time she pretty well refuses to wear pants. It is getting colder, so I'm hoping she'll start wearing them soon!
The boys are showing some interest, more enthusiasm from Imogen, but it hasn't entirely clicked in either of their heads yet. Toby seems to have more awareness though then last week when he virtually had none!
All of them have done number 1's in the potty, but have not done this with any regularity. They quite liked sitting on the potty together at times. Miss Stacey has been doing a great job with helping them on their journey to pants!
I'm still not certain that we will continue or give it another shot when the weather warms up. We've had some successes, but there is still a lot of resistance coming from them. If it gets too much, I will try again when they are going to be a bit more enthusiastic. At least when the weather is warmer it's easier to run around naked!
But without further ado, I'll show you some pictures of the potty training triplets journey for Wordless Wednesday. Which is kind of Words are Less, rather then no words type of Wordless for me!
With so many little individuals fascinated about toilets right now, why wouldn't you spot this as you walk past a hallway?
And then disappearing around the corner.
Miss Stacey patiently encouraging patient sitting.
They had a pleasant communal evening potty session.
This time a tandem potty sesh.
They both needed to go at the same time. I turned around to pick something up and before I knew it the toilet paper was being loaded into the loo.

It's truly an honor to be here today. I bring you greetings from neighboring Kinston. My wife and I have been happily married for over nine years and we are blessed with two girls, one four and one 7 months old.
Raised by a bread man, my father knew hard work. And although today is my 32nd birthday, I could never understand why my father worked on Labor Day when so many took the day off.
But now as a father, I understand the sacrifices you make for your family.
As a public servant, I understand the necessity to respect the tax dollars that we collect from our hard working American families and the stewardship that commands us to spend them wisely.
We need leaders like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan who will define reality.
We need leaders like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan who will tell the truth about unemployment, about the state of our economy, and about the change in fiscal policy we so desperately need so that my children and your children won't have to pay this generation's debts.
We need leaders who truly understand servant leadership.
Creating a will for a 14 year old terminally ill child is an example of true servant leadership.
Standing in the gap for you and me to propose a bold, new budget that protects the American family and rewards honest, hard work. That is servant leadership.
Mrs. Romney said that Mitt will not fail. I believe she is right, not just because of his tireless work ethic, his devotion to his family and his faith, or because of his humility as well as success.
I believe she's right because we won't let him fail.
We can't let him fail.
But Romney and Ryan need you.
Make some noise and stand today if you believe Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are right for our country.
Make some noise if you are willing to call or text a friend.
Make some noise if you are willing to knock on a neighbor's door.
Make some noise if you are ready to fight.

THE BLUE TRAIN IS BACK
South Africa's famous luxury train is back in business.
The Blue Train faced a series of unfortunate events which led to it not being able to generate an income for several months.
The Transnet-owned train faced the restrictions brought on by the Coivd-19 pandemic which meant it was brought to a complete halt for a few months.
Once the associated restrictions were lifted, the train suffered two derailments.
The first derailment took place at the start of November 2021. The coaches that derailed at the Union Station Loop in Germiston were empty at the time. It was expected that the luxury train would be able to continue operations, but then the second derailment happened.
During mid-January this year the second derailment happened at the maintenance depot in Salvokop south of Pretoria Central.
Only three weeks after that, a fire gutted one of the coaches while it was in for repairs at the start of the year. The fire took place at Transnet's engineering facility in Koedoespoort, Pretoria.
Transnet announced that a successful investigation took place into the events and that the Blue Train will "resume imminently."
News24 reports that a trip aboard the Blue Train between Pretoria and Cape Town is considered one of the most luxurious train journeys in the world. Promoted as a "moving five-star hotel-on-wheels" with fine dining, elegant lounges, and luxury suites, the Blue Train's origins date back almost a century.
