Do mistrust a person who equivocates?
You most certainly do! A person who equivocates uses roundabout or dual-meaning language in order to deceive, so I know I would mistrust her/him!

What is the name of Seamus surname?
Sorry, but "Seamus" is not a surname. It is a masculine given name that equivocates to James or Jacob, meaning "one who supplants". In the U.S., the Yiddish masculine given name "Shamus" can be slang for a private detective.
How is it possible for the universe to be infinite and have a beginning?
In the first place: we don't necessarily think the universe is infinite, which makes the second part kind of moot. It's the very fact that it isn't infinite, but expanding, that makes us believe it did have a beginning. I don't know why you deleted my answer to this as my answer was very appropriate and your answer is really just based on opinion and theory. i will try to find my previous answer in the archives but until then you will have to ignore the above. (The question equivocates between physical and temporal dimensions in order to pose a conundrum. I mean, like, I'm just sayin' .)
What are the main scenes in Macbeth?

What are amusing parts in the duchess of malfi?
The duchess of malfi is innately amusing. Equivocations can be found interspersed throughout the whole play and if scrutiny is conducted thoroughly, one will be able to spot various multitudinous facetious comments made by different characters such as Bosola, Cardinal and Ferdinand. This brings out the theme of appearance and reality, which makes the play laughable, yet morbid at the same time. This can be illustrated at how Ferdinand tries to lure Antonio to return to his castle by offering him forgiveness through the letter sent by Bosola to the Duchess and Antonio. Notice how the letter is phrased; other subtleties can be seen when Bosola equivocates as Duchess reveals her husband's name.
What is the meaning of out riding fences?
One of the jobs of a cowboy is to keep fences in good repair. So he gets on his horse with saddle-bags fulls of hammers and staples and goes riding around fixing the fences, usually barbed wired ones. So 'I have been outside riding my horse fixing the fences' gets contracted to 'Out riding fences." That is the literal meaning. The figurative, or secondary, meaning of "riding fences" refers to a person who won't take sides or who equivocates on an issue or issues so as not to offend those on either side. Politicians do this a lot, as do "people pleasers." It speaks of deviousness or a weakness of character. Another meaning comes to us from the rock group The Eagles in the lyrics to their song "Desperado," wherein the title character has been having a string of affairs and relationships, but can't seem to settle down with the right woman.
What was the role of women in the 12th century?
Most of us think of the Renaissance in terms of the 15th and 16th centuries, but according to author RN. Swanson, the period spanning from 1050 to 1250 was indeed a period of great expansion and enlightenment. Specifically, Swanson considers the system of education during this era, from monastic an cathedral schools to other private institutions, and their corresponding changes in teaching styles. He also examines developments in law, government, and politics, as well as the development of kingships and royal authority. Swanson asserts that these educational changes fostered a massive transformation in western intellectual life in the 12th century when Aristotle was rediscovered and the art of argumentation was developed. Swanson also claims that humanism made its first appearance in this era, documenting several areas in which an increase in "self-awareness" is evident, particularly in the works of various authors of the time. Swanson even looks to the role of women in the 12th century for signs of enlightenment, spending time considering such women as Heloise, Hildegard of Bingen, and Marie de France. In sum, Swanson identifies a number of areas in which key cultural developments occured in what is generally regarded as a time of stagnation. Do these add up to a Renaissance? Swanson equivocates in his conclusion about the use of the term, suggesting that there were actually more than one Renaissance during this period. Yet however you choose to apply the term, the book provides a solid picture of the era, and, indeed, a valuable introduction to the times.
Who sang the song revolution by The Beatles?
The Beatles (The "White Album") has the slow version, and Past Masters Volume 2 has the fast single version. The White Album had the original, slow version. The fast version was the B-side of the "Hey Jude" single. It first appeared on album on 1970's Hey Jude (aka The Beatles Again), which was a collection of non-album singles. It was later reissued as part of Past Masters Vol. 2.
Why is the porter scene from Macbeth so famous?
We know that Duncan is dead and must soon be discovered. The comic interlude with the Porter delays that discovery. We want to know what will happen when the murder is discovered and the scene postpones that knowledge, creating suspense. Of course, the real reason for the scene is to give the actors playing the Macbeths a chance to change and clean up. Some of Shakespeare's most famous scenes are for just such practical purposes.
What kind of entertainment did Jesus have?
This question is yet to be answered but we know that he was a fan of parties and a point to prove this is shown in the wedding at cana miracle. To improve on this response to the previously posed query the answer is 'worship'. In Jesus's day worship was like going to the movies, talking on the phone with your best friend, going hiking (as he and his sometimes did). Then there was the whole dress rehearsal of all his sermons he'd do over at Mary and Martha's place. He was always running by his edicts with one of those two on the Sabbath day, and the disciples were jealous to beat all, but it was really what he needed, a place where he could refine his words and practice without the pressure of the crowd, someone to please and put a beautiful smile on their face, this is worship, this is entertainment. By the standards of today entertainment is often simply a place to relax and enjoy. But if outside the temple walls was also worship "highly entertaining". The type of entertainment we do for God and God alone, the only who even has the potential to see all you do and appreciate the subtleties of every thought. So in some ways, Jesus lives his life trying to entertain God. He was always trying to please his father, I don't think anyone who has ever lived would could debate this, I mean the guy was always talking about him. "My father" this..... do this for my father. The father... the father... the father... You see after all these days, there came the miracles and opening the ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind, now this is what I call "Entertainment", the most relaxing and satisfying thing a man can ever do is perform a supernatural miracle of healing. One of these done authentically, in this day and age, and the audience would be astounding. Keeping in mind his motto, because he says informally the words, "Everything you do, do it in worship of the Lord," he says it in spirit by the way he lives, and so "worship" equivocates entertainment. "Worship", the word sounds like a navy boat, but seriously, now in these times, the only thing all the people have in common before we had cell phones and computer networks and offices with a lot of people scattered across the globe, was the temple service and the Sabbath. One out of seven is pretty okay. So in summary, and just let me close here, my thesis statement is he worships the service as the main event. Of course these technologies are great (sorry to digress), but I am simply making the point, the temple (the "church", his bride) or whatever you refer to it as, was is and forever shall be the source of all his entertainment. Trust me, endless conversations, joking around, besides all the seriousness took place--he was still a young man. On and on again this guy, beautiful women with good hearts and keen minds would eagerly wait to hear him musing, and blowing their minds, with his brilliant kindness. What could be more entertaining for a man in his age, for a man his age in any age, actually? "Worship" is where the meat parts from the potatoes and all the action takes place, the forming and maintaining of relationships, all your friends, family, talked, thought out loud, laughed and ate. It was the kind of place stories were told, like this one. Of course there were debates, there always have been and always will be held here it is part of the joy of life a gift as it were (held), and this you have to believe because it's true, even the occasional brawl took place! I say this to illustrate the authenticity of the time and date: people slept at inns, they worked in their shops with one or two others most the time, it was always the women worked at home or did the same as the men and I say this with selective meaning. I mean here we are out in the fields with our flocks, retrieving lost sheep, going fishing for food, planting wheat and corn for harvest, before the time of worship too busy to engage, so the worship is the source of entertainment. But after the Sabbath, after, when the Lord's blessing had been given to the people and they enjoyed his "something sacred", a river she's rising, a rose by any other name, I'm telling you it's all in the heart of the night, a blessing bestowed, what have you. It's all the same! Entertainmentendures. Hate, science, race, politics, violence, this things are a blip on a bad radar screen like a little tiny gnat sitting on the glass and wham! Crushed by another bug! A Jerusalem cricket. You ever see one of these? You'd be amazed the kind of things you could take in out and about on the Sabbath, the sights the sounds, the sunrises the sunsets, it was the exhausting long and relaxing day of every week; some days, of course there were weddings, and lovely engagements, beautiful brides, handsome bridegrooms, but catch the sun and have a little fun, a little too much new wine in their face, and suddenly you got a few Zealots, some Pharisees, a Sadducee, and a Samaritan all under one stall talking about politics and the son of man, tinder box! Someone says something about the High Priest under his breast and forget it, the time for peace was past and armies of heaven were throwing down warrior Gentiles and Jews are suddenly assembling alongside the Roman armies. Just say the word "Cesar, you should see the look--Saturday afternoon at the temple, the things you would see... the most entertainment. To speak the Latin term I just learned "hona notia", it is what you get when you leave this place. God bless.
