Eze Kingsley  Ohaji posts on X about financial and political matters @ohajielom. His creative description of the war against Iran deserves wide circulation.

Trump: Open the Strait in 48 hours or I strike your power plants.

Iran: No.

Trump: You have 48 hours.

Iran: You said that already.

A WOMAN’S HISTORY

by 

W H Davies

When Mary Price was five years old

And had a bird that died 

She laid its body under flowers;

And called her friends to pray to God,

And sing sad hymns for hours

When she before her fifteenth year

Was ruined by a man,

The neighbours sought him out, and said-

‘You’ll come along and marry her

Or hang till you are dead’

When they had found the child he wronged

And playing with her doll

‘ I’ll come along with you’ said she -

‘But I’ll not marry anyone

Unless my doll’s with me’

With no more love’s heat in her than

The wax upon her arm;

With no more love-light in her eyes

Than in the glass eyes of her doll -

Nor wonder, nor surprise.

When Mary Price was thirty-five,

And he was lying dead,

She wept as if her heart would break:

But neighbours winked to see her tears

Fall on a lovers’s neck

Now Mary Price is seventy-five

And skinning eels alive:

She, active, strong, and full of breath

Has caught the cat that stole an eel,

And beaten it to death

In my book Mourinho Matters I take Jose Mourinho as a case example of a charismatic leader. 
I will draw on the account as described in the book. I have selected an exerpt of the occasions when I was embarrassingly misunderstood by two other charismatic leaders, Pat Riley of Miami Heat, and sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United.

In this podcast, I’m taking the approach which I found useful in introducing graduate level workshops on creativity and leadership.

I would invite the Group to share their understanding of a current leadership issue and then discussing it through the perspective of leadership challenges provided by it.

So that’s where I want to go with this podcast. I’m assuming that listeners to this podcast are taking place in a discussion about leadership dilemmas which confront individuals, corporations and in this case even countries.

The discussion would draw on the evidence provided through media reports and irrelevant announcements from major figures, including of course from Donald Trump and his spokespersons.

Over the last month, one story has dominated media coverage. It has recently been described as the Middle East conflict with the main protagonists the United States of America, which  with Israel is engaged in military operations against Iran...

David Atherton is a scholarly contributor to X  He explains that he has became increasingly disillusioned with his reach on X, and decided to write  about stuff he likes

.You can follow David on X , where he publishes as @DaveAtherton20.

In a recent post, he selects as his topic, English idioms. In it, he describes the origin of the terms: one for the Road, being on the wagon, pulling your leg, and money for old rope.

There is a grim humour about his selected topic as you will now hear:

My topic for today is developing a plan for successful innovation.

The subject is one which continues to attract attention, and books continue to be published offering various approaches some with more outrageous claims than others.

I want to describe one approach which worked for many and varied organisations mainly in the United Kingdom. I believe it can be applied to today’s fast-changing world, in which so many activities are being influenced through IT products and practices

The adventures of Keith have attracted a faithful following on X. 

His biographer Sama Holle has chronicled the adventures of a range of eco-friendly animals on a farm, but I am only reporting on a day in the life of Keith as summarised on X.

I have added a short poem in honour of Keith and his eco
friendly farm friends.

As a long-time exile from Wales, I have to confess  that my grasp of the language is pretty bad. So much so that I struggle even to follow the commentary in Welsh of rugby games on SC4.

At the present time, this might be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

However, I am aware of Saint David’s Day falling on March 1 if only because of fading schoolboy memories.

At risk of demonstrating this I’ll have a go, with help from a pronunciation guide, to demonstrate that I only speak a little bit of Welsh, perhaps with a residual Pontypridd accent. 

Anyway here goes.

Overnight, a sensational political event. A resurgent Green Party wins a by-election in a close contest against the right wing Reform party and against the Government, the traditional party of the Left in England...
