Up, and am invited betimes to be godfather tomorrow to Captain Poole's child with my Lady Pen and Lady Batten, which I accepted out of complaisance to them, and so to the office, where we sat all the morning. At noon dined at home, and then my wife and I, with Sir W. Pen, to the New Exchange, set her down, and he and I to St. James's, where Sir J. Minnes, [Sir] W. Batten, and we waited upon the Duke of York, but did little business, and he, I perceive, his head full of other business, and of late hath not been very ready to be troubled with any of our business. Having done with him, Sir J. Minnes, [Sir] W. Batten and I to White Hall, and there hear how it is like to go well enough with my Lord Chancellor; that he is like to keep his Seal, desiring that he may stand his trial in Parliament, if they will accuse him of any thing. Here Sir J. Minnes and I looking upon the pictures; and Mr. Chevins, being by, did take us, of his own accord, into the King's closet, to shew us some pictures, which, indeed, is a very noble place, and exceeding great variety of brave pictures, and the best hands. I could have spent three or four hours there well, and we had great liberty to look and Chevins seemed to take pleasure to shew us, and commend the pictures. Having done here, I to the Exchange, and there find my wife gone with Sir W. Pen. So I to visit Colonel Fitzgerald, who hath been long sick at Woolwich, where most of the officers and soldiers quartered there, since the Dutch being in the river, have died or been sick, and he among the rest; and, by the growth of his beard and gray [hairs], I did not know him. His desire to speak with me was about the late command for my paying no more pensions for Tangier. Thence home, and there did business, and so in the evening home to supper and to bed. This day Mr. Pierce, the surgeon, was with me; and tells me how this business of my Lord Chancellor's was certainly designed in my Lady Castlemayne's chamber; and that, when he went from the King on Monday morning, she was in bed, though about twelve o'clock, and ran out in her smock into her aviary looking into White Hall garden; and thither her woman brought her her nightgown; and stood joying herself at the old man's going away: and several of the gallants of White Hall, of which there were many staying to see the Chancellor return, did talk to her in her birdcage; among others, Blancford, telling her she was the bird of paradise.1
Clarendon refers to this scene in the continuation of his Life (ed. 1827, vol. iii., p. 291), and Lister writes: "Lady Castlemaine rose hastily from her noontide bed, and came out into her aviary, anxious to read in the saddened air of her distinguished enemy some presage of his fall" ("Life of Clarendon," vol. ii., p. 412). ↩
John Evelyn's Diary
27th August, 1667. Visited the Lord Chancellor [ http://www.pepysdiary.com/encyclopedia/804/ ], to whom his Majesty had sent for the seals a few days before; I found him in his bedchamber, very sad. The Parliament had accused him, and he had enemies at Court, especially the buffoons and ladies of pleasure, because he thwarted some of them, and stood in their way; I could name some of the chief. The truth is, he made few friends during his grandeur among the royal sufferers, but advanced the old rebels. He was, however, though no considerable lawyer, one who kept up the form and substance of things in the Nation with more solemnity than some would have had. He was my particular kind friend, on all occasions. The cabal, however, prevailed, and that party in Parliament. Great division at Court concerning him, and divers great persons interceding for him.

"I could name some of the chief." Mr. Evelyn is more circumspect in his diary-making than Mr. Pepys.

Per Oliver Millar, there were 160 paintings drawings and miniatures in the room, Mss. Inv. c.1667. "In the King's private apartments, much praised by Samuel Pepys – who 'could have spent three or four hours there well' – were Parmigianino's Pallas Athene

"we waited upon the Duke of York, but did little business, and he, I perceive, his head full of other business"
Perhaps the business of his father-in-law, Sir Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, Lord Chancellor, and the Great Seal of England inscribed CAROLVS II DEI GRA[TIA] MAGNÆ BRITANNIÆ FRANCIÆ ET HIBERNIÆ REX FIDEI DEFENSOR?
"am invited betimes to be godfather tomorrow to Captain Poole's child with my Lady Pen and Lady Batten, which I accepted out of complaisance to them"
L&M explain Jonas Poole was a brother-in-law to Lady Penn. Pepys was forced to buy a gift in silver plate.
"the late command for my paying no more pensions for Tangier."

Clarendon, describing his return on 26 August from a final interview with the King at Whitehall, wrote that Lady Castlemaine, Arlington and May 'looked together out of her open window with great gaiety and triumph, which all people observed' : Life, iii, 291. Nathanael Crew adds that Clarendon looked up and said, "O Madam, is it you? Pray remember that if you live, you will grow old.": Mem. (Camden Misc., ix) p. 9. (Per L&M footnote)

It is possible for organisations with products and services relevant to child health, to have an exhibition stand at the forums. With over 30 organisations exhibiting annually, these offer the perfect platform to either launch a new product or to spend some face to face time with those delegates working on the front line. Some organisations decide to attend all 18 of our forums annually and some pick and choose the geographical regions that fall in line with their product plans. We believe that each forum should offer all those involved the best possible outcome. If you haven't exhibited at one of our child health events before, then you can come along and try one for free.

President meets troops facing down Russia's offensive as Putin warns of difficulties in partly-occupied regions.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made an unannounced visit to Bakhmut, an embattled city in the country's east that has been under relentless Russian attacks for several months.
Zelenskyy's office said on Tuesday he had met and spoken with military personnel during the visit to the front-line city and handed out awards to Ukrainian servicemen.
Bakhmut has remained in Ukrainian hands during Russia's 300-day-long offensive, thwarting Moscow's goal of capturing the entirety of the Donetsk region and the wider Donbas
But Zelenskyy said earlier this month that Russia's efforts to conquer the city – whose pre-war population of 70,000-80,000 people has now shrunk to close to 10,000 – have turned it into ruins.
"The occupiers actually destroyed Bakhmut, another Donbas city that the Russian army turned into burned ruins," he said last week.
Taking Bakhmut would rupture Ukraine's supply lines and open a route for Russian forces to press on towards Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, which are key Ukrainian strongholds in the region.

Together for OUR CHILDREN!
Venue: Kumaraguru College of Technology
Date: 2nd September 2022
Interaction with Nobel Peace Prize Winner Shri.Kailash Satyarthi,
Social Reformer & Child Rights Activist on 2nd September 2022.
Dr.Kezevino Aram, our President and our dedicated staff at Shanti Ashram & the International Center for Child & Public Health had the honour to interact with Nobel Peace Laureate Shri Kailash Satyarthi on 2nd September, 2022.
In his inspiring address he called upon the youth of India to work for a peaceful world, a world where the rights of children will be protected and their childhood celebrated. He spoke about the dividends that society will benefit from if children are invested in and the loss of human potential and productivity if we neglect the needs of children. He elaborated the compounded burden that children have faced during the COVID 19 Pandemic and the sharp rise in child labour. He further alerted the gathering of new forms of child exploitation, including child sexual abuse that have come to surface during the pandemic.
He recalled the early work that was put in by him and the Bachpan Bachao Andolan in the prevention of child labour. The rescuing of nearly 50,000 children from the grips of de-humanizing child labour was he said were amongst the happiest moments of his life. For in their freedom, in the freeing of the children, of these vulnerable children, he saw the extension of the freedom movement and the purpose of his life. He recalled with gratitude the global efforts of many, the world-wide padayathra (peace march) & the successful international signature campaign, all of which eventually leading to path-breaking international laws at the ILO to safeguard the rights of children from exploitative labour. As India turns 75, he said we should look back on the immense work we have done for children and look ahead to charter a better future for them. I believe in PEACE, a world fit for all our children he concluded!
We remain grateful to Shri.Shankar Vanvarayar, Joint Correspondent, Kumaraguru College of Technology and the Kumaraguru Institutions for making this interaction possible.
