“So how was your trip?” “Where did you go again” “How much did it cost” were all common questions we returned to after spending 15 days in Tonga.
Reflecting on how I felt when I got home, I realised our trip was similar to that of an ocean tide: some parts of the day had us on a high, other times we felt quite low. It was refreshing: the feeling of being outside our comfort zone and embracing all that surrounded us.
We booked our flights and accommodation at least 6 months in advance as peak season is between June and October. We flew on Air New Zealand from Auckland, but you can fly direct from Fiji or Australia via Fiji Airways or Virgin Australia.
We landed in the rain at Fua’amotu International Airport, cleared customs and biosecurity and fledged into the Kingdom of Tonga. Greeted by lovely Liu from Heilala Holiday Lodge, we boarded the free shuttle (it’s free if you stay with Heilala for 3 or more consecutive nights) and drove all the way to the western side of the island. It took about 45 minutes and by the time we arrived we had felt every sort of emotion; elation, concern, sadness, anticipation and most of all, uncertainty. Callum was quite distressed about the amount of rubbish, and I the malnourished animals. We simply had to let water slide off the ducks back and try to understand that their way of living is very different to ours.
Heilala was truly astonishing and oh so quiet. It was bliss. We were offered a free city orientation which we gladly accepted and after a peaceful night in our Superior Fale ($198 TOP per night) and a complimentary breakfast of toast, fruit and tea we ventured into Nuku’alofa with Liu and one of our hosts Carolina.
The most valuable part of the orientation was getting our bearings for where we were in comparison to everything else! We went to Talamahu Market and bought some bananas, papaya, tomatoes and cucumber and visited the craft stalls too. It was spectacular and definitely worth a visit. They don’t have eftpos so cash is a must have. The iSite was close, on Vuna Road so we headed there to attempt to book a ferry to Eua and a flight from Eua back to Nuku’alofa which we had scheduled for other parts of our trip. We ended up only booking our Ferry but the flight was easy enough to book online. We spent some time in town and got some food at the Friends Café (the best café in town) and walked down to the bus stop.
Catching a bus was easier than I thought, we jumped on the Hi’Hifo bus and it took us all the way back to Heilala. I listened and watched what other people were doing in relation to getting off the bus as there weren’t any ‘stop the bus’ buttons! People just yelled for the driver to stop and he pulled over. Pay the driver on the way out ($2 each) and that’s it! I managed to catch the drivers eye in his rear view mirror, so I signalled him and he stopped for us. Forty minutes on a bus for $2, it doesn’t get much cheaper.
We spent the next couple of days snorkelling the beautiful reef and visited Liku’alofa for a cultural show where we ate all sorts of local cuisine and they did an array of dancing. Members in the audience would get up and place money on the oiled up dancers which initially, we thought was quite unusual (as in our culture we associate money and dancing with strippers). However apparently it is a long time tradition that tapa cloth was given to the dancers but over the years it has been more practical to give money as a token of appreciation. It was a really great night (although long) and well worth it for $35 TOP each.
We’d asked Heilala if we could be a part of the island tour which they happily organised for us. We were picked up by the lovely Vei on Thursday morning and we ventured all over the island visiting the ‘tourist sites.’ The blowholes were spectacular and definitely worth the visit, you might even see some whales swimming in the beautiful sapphire blue water. The natural land bridge was also very pretty, especially the view of Tonga’s rugged coastline. It was neat stopping on the side of the road and looking high up into the trees at the Flying Foxes. We visited the Anahulu caves and went for a much needed swim! After cooling off, we hopped back into the van and drove for an hour across the island back to Heilala.
Unfortunately, about half way through the tour, before we arrived at the caves I started to feel very unwell. I initially thought I was suffering from motion sickness as the roads are very bumpy and I was sitting at the back of the van. I soon found out that it was a little more serious and my hands went so numb I couldn’t use them. We stopped a few times on the way back to our lodge so I could vomit, and as time went on I found it harder and harder to stay on my feet. I vomited in the van, all over myself and out the window. It was classy stuff.
We arrived back at Heilala and I walked and crawled back to our Fale. I spent the next 6 hours or so vomiting and pooping (sometimes at the same time) and at midnight I was able to settle into bed and get a few hours of sleep. Poor Callum had to clean vomit off my clothes, wash the towels, and scrub the toilet… oh and drink all our alcohol!
Looking back on that day we laugh hysterically about the things we had to endure (I literally almost shat myself on the side of the road) however at the time it was really, really miserable. It took me about three days to come right but thankfully Callum had sourced some anti-nausea pills, immodium (for diarrhoea) and some antibiotics from his doctor in NZ which helped a lot.
Our last few days on Tongatapu were spent resting, recovering and relaxing. Callum did a lot of snorkelling and reading in the hammock. We packed our bags, watched the sunset on the beach and went to bed early as we had our trip on the ferry over to Eua Island the next day.
Our stay at Heilala cost $1004.50 which included a kayak hire, a few drinks, a superior fale for 5 nights and shuttles. We guessed we’d need about $1000 per week, so it fit perfectly into our budget.
Saturday morning rolled around and we were picked up by our Tour guide Vei (who seconds as a shuttle driver) and when he saw me he said “Are you ok now princess?” and I replied with “Yes, I am much better Vei… and sorry for vomiting in your van” to which we both laughed. It was a lovely day but very hot in the sun so when we arrived at the ferry terminal we found a shady spot and waited for about an hour to board the ferry. We then waited another 30 minutes before setting sail.
The two-and-a-half-hour trip to Eua was stunning, the day was calm and the ocean was a mesmerizing blue. Whales breached and played in the distance, as well as surfacing close to the boat. We felt very lucky to be in Tonga, with the most amazing wildlife around us.
I was still feeling a bit queasy after my bout of illness but I managed to keep it together for the length of the ferry ride. We docked in Eua and proceeded to get our bags, trundle over the road to the Ovava tree lodge and sat in the beautiful outdoor dining area awaiting check-in. Bliss!

Salem Fire Department hopes to save more lives with video intubators
Salem Fire Department rolled out about 17 new video laryngoscopes on Sept. 21.
The portable device attached to a disposable blade with an embedded camera should increase the first pass rate by 30 percent, allowing paramedics to quickly administer intubation procedures on patients in medical emergencies.
A first pass rate means successfully inserting the laryngoscope to intubate the patient on the first try, according to Sarah Merrick EMS training officer.
With proper training, paramedics in the field can have an 80 to 90 percent first pass rate versus the average 50 percent rate for paramedics nationwide, Merrick said.
"Getting to an 80 to 90 first pass rate means...there's no more having to go back to ventilating and then a second tube attempt," she said. "We're able to get the tube in, start breathing for them immediately and then we can move on to other things for the patient."
Salem fire purchased a video scope for every engine and reserve engine in the fire department.
The device is a nontraditional method of intubation called non-displacing, which allows paramedics to insert the tube using less force causing less trauma or damage to a patients airway, according to Merrick.
"It's not that we were causing (damage) anyway, but it's just an assurance that it's a much more delicate procedure for the patient — much better for the airway," she said.
In the past, Salem fire paramedics were doing some guesswork when inserting the scope before inserting the endotracheal tube to administer breathing. The new camera device includes a light as well as a rigid stylet which allows for efficient tube placement.
Merrick estimates paramedics are intubating three to four times per week as a system, typically if a patient goes into cardiac arrest or if they are severely ill and cannot maintain an airway.
Merrick said multiple agencies east and north of Salem, including Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue, have added the devices to their kits.
Salem Fire Department saved for two budget cycles to pay for the devices, each costing about $3,000.
The agency will save the recordings of the intubations for tracking and training purposes.
Salem fire deployed the devices Sept 21 but had initial training for paramedics in January using cadavers and mannequins, with a refresher course in August.
"We're very excited about it," Merrick said. "I do believe this will increase patient safety and potential life-saving measures."

Warning of eyesight risks in drivers
[Posted: Fri 03/02/2012 by Eimear Vize www.irishhealth.com]
One in three drivers are unable to see clearly behind the wheel, and one in five admit they have had an accident as a result of poor eyesight, according to a recent survey of motorists.
These findings have prompted a call by the Association of Optometrists Ireland (AOI) for compulsory eyesight tests to be introduced for all drivers at each application for a driving licence and renewal.
It warns that some drivers with poor eysight may be slipping through our system of sight test requirements for driving licences.
A total of 186 people tragically lost their lives and thousands more were injured on Irish roads in 2011, according to new statistics released by the Road Safety Authority (RSA).
Although this is the first time that road deaths have fallen below 200 since they were first recorded in 1959, the RSA warned against complacency and urged motorists to ensure that this better driving behaviour continues.
Having good eyesight is one of the most basic requirement of safe driving, but a recently survey of 2,000 motorists in the UK revealed that one in three motorists, who require visual aids, regularly drive their cars without their prescribed glasses or contact lenses.
This risk is taken despite about 70% of those surveyed being fully aware of the risk they are posing to their passengers, fellow motorists and pedestrians.
Not surprisingly, one in five motorists confessed to having at least one driving incident as a result of poor vision, whether it was damaging their vehicle or a road accident.
"It must be borne in mind that the eyesight requirements here in Ireland are more stringent than the UK, where simply reading a test number plate at the test centre is all that is required," Lynda McGivney-Nolan, spokesperson for the AOI, told irishhealth.com
The UK rules state that driving test candidates must be able to read a number plate at 65 feet - with glasses or lenses if they need them - before the driving part of the test. But it's relatively undemanding and only 1,500 to 2,000 people fail each year.
Tougher eyesight test controls were introduced by the RSA in January last year with the adoption of a new EU directive on drivers' vision. Eye exams are now required to include high levels of visual acuity (how well you can see things in front of you at all distances) as well as good peripheral vision (visual field horizontally and vertically).
It also should test for contrast sensitivity, glare sensitivity and ocular motility (ability of the eye to move), which are important for safe driving.
"Now any person applying for a licence or renewing a licence who wears glasses or contacts must have this detailed eye exam, but also, any person over the age of 70 must have an eye exam every time they apply for a licence. The eye test can now be carried out by an optometrist, which prior to last year was not the case," explained Ms McGivney-Nolan.
However, the AOI believe that these new stringent vision tests not being implemented across the board by everyone who carries out a driver eyesight examination.
Also, some people who wear glasses, or need visual aids but may not be aware of that fact, and omit this detail from their licence application, are not required to submit an eye test result.
"While we are delighted that these advances have been made, there are still some loop holes we would like to see closed," Ms McGivney-Nolan stressed.
"As optometrists, we feel very strongly about these rules being implemented across the board by everyone who carries out a driver eye sight examination and to my knowledge this is not yet the situation.
"In addition, any person under the age of 70 who completes the renewal form, and states that they do not need glasses for driving, are not required to have an eye examination to renew the licence.
"Clearly this is ridiculous as people can fill out the form without realising that perhaps they need glasses to drive safely; they are now ten years older and their eye sight has deteriorated.
"We would like to see mandatory eye sight testing at every application for a licence and renewal," she urged.
The latest RSA road collision statistics (2009) reported that more than 9,700 people were injured of in road traffic accidents, or which 640 were seriously injured.

The 34-year-old singer has revealed she and her bandmates - Cheryl Tweedy, Kimberley Walsh, Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts - have been getting lots of offers to mark their milestone anniversary in 2022, though she insisted it's still ''early'' days.
Speaking to Angela Scanlon on her 'Thanks A Million Podcast', she teased: ''There's been loads of conversations and people now are getting in contact, like, 'What do we do?' It's still early.
''I'm 34 years old so to think that I've been doing anything for 20 years is shocking, isn't it?''
The 'Love Machine' group split up in 2013, and when asked last month about reuniting, Nadine coyly replied: ''Oh, who knows?''
When she was told most reunited acts have more fun when they get back together, she said: ''I'd really enjoy it? OK, thank you, I'll bear that in mind.''
Nadine's comments come after Kimberley suggested 2022 would be a great time to reunite - especially as ''everybody is busy'' with their own projects for now.
She recently said: ''It will have been 20 years in 2022, it's a long way off still. Everybody is busy at the moment, but I have a lot of love for all the girls, I'm proud of all of them.
''All the songs feel like a distant memory, but if I hear them then I think they're good, I'm glad I still get to spend time with the girls and see them.
''Our outfits were racy, but we were girls' girls and about looking glamorous and having something to aspire to.''
Nadine also revealed that Cheryl had reached out to her.
She said: ''It's been seven years since the last reunion tour and it feels like seven years.
''Cheryl emailed me recently and I bumped into Kimberley a few weeks ago as well, which was lovely.
''I haven't seen Sarah or Nicola in a long time, but everything remains very cordial.''
Whilst Kimberley said when quizzed on a reunion: ''We do have an anniversary coming up but it's a long way off still.
''Everybody is busy at the moment but I have a lot of love for all the girls. I'm proud of all of them.
''All the songs feel like a distant memory but if I hear them then I think they're good.''

How to use Vizient’s Optimizer 8 to make your team smarter
- by admin
Optimizer 9 is the latest update to the Vizium network optimizer.
You’ll see the biggest changes to the network optimizers in the past few weeks, but what’s new is the addition of a new feature called “optimizer 8”.
In this article, we’ll explain how you can use Vismient’s new optimizer 8 feature to get the most out of the network optimization you’ve been using for years.
How does Vismium’s optimizer work?
Vismue says that the network can be optimized to perform any task from simple searches to multi-threaded searches.
This means you can make a search using the same network you use for all other search tasks.
For example, you could use a single network for a multi-task task.
When you’re using a network optimiser, you can configure the network in many ways.
For instance, you may be using the network for basic search and basic indexing, and you may want to add more advanced filtering or sorting to the search results.
In addition, you have the option to use a network for more advanced tasks such as advanced indexing.
This network optimisation is a great way to add new features to your network without impacting the rest of the application.
In this case, you don’t need to worry about a change in the way the network is configured and can be as simple as changing the settings.
How can I use the network to get better performance?
The network optimisations you’re seeing in Vismente 8.
You can use the optimizer to adjust the network and search results according to the data you’ve collected.
This is a very useful feature that will help you find better results.
You should also enable the network optimizations to improve performance when you use search engines, search queries, or other network applications.
How do I enable the Network Optimizer?
When you enable the optimizers, you’ll see an option to “Enable network optimizations”.
The optimizer will show up in your network settings.
Enable network optimization and you can see a number of options.
You will be asked to choose one or more of the options, which you can choose from.
Visminte also has a page on their site that will show you how to enable the different network optimizaton settings.
This page is updated daily and is updated to reflect the latest changes to their network optimizaions.
You might find the new network optimitization settings helpful in your day to day work.
For more information, you might also want to check out our guide on how to configure your Vismentia Network Optimizers.
How will I know if the network’s performance is improving?
The optimizers work by looking at how often your network is being accessed and how long it takes for data to travel from your network to your web application.
This can be a good indicator of the performance you’ve got and how much data is being processed in your applications.
It also shows you how much memory the network has to perform the network searches.
If the network performance is getting better and the network traffic is increasing, it may mean that your network has a lot of memory to work with.
You don’t have to be overly worried about this because the network will automatically adjust its network traffic to be more efficient.
You could try to reduce the network load in your application and it might help the network speed up.
But keep in mind that when you run out of memory, the network may not be able to continue to run queries.
You won’t see the improvements unless you change your network optimising settings.
How are network optimizable queries performed?
The most important aspect to understand about network optimised queries is that they’re made in real-time.
This lets you optimize your network’s response times and throughput without changing the way your application processes the data.
When it comes to optimising your network, Vismien says you should think about how long data takes to travel between your network and your web applications.
So, for example, if you’re performing searches on a search engine such as Google, it might take a long time for the search engine to send your query to your browser.
When that happens, the search query is sent to the server and the browser has to wait for it to arrive.
This slows down the query processing time.
To speed up your search, you should look at how much your network will need to work on the query before you can start processing it.
If you have less network memory, you probably won’t need as much network bandwidth to perform your queries, but if your network does have a lot more network memory than your application can process, you will want to use as much as you can.
As an example, consider this query: google_search_optimizer_1.jpg google_title google_query google_url Google needs more memory to process the

OUR LITTLE CHECKLIST
Check Your Gears
A number one annoyance and possible hazard are misaligned derailleurs and poorly indexed gears. A correctly adjusted front derailleur will bring you smooth shifting between the small ring and big ring and will stop the chain rubbing on the mechanism itself.
Inspect, Clean And Lubricate The Drivetrain
The drivetrain is the mechanical heart of your machine, and the area of the bike, which needs particular care and attention – not just at the start of the season but through the year. This is a good opportunity to check your chain for wear and replace it if necessary.
Check The Brakes/Cables
The importance of the brakes goes without saying so ensuring your brakes are well maintained and that you check the cables and the pads are essential. With the wheel off the ground, spin it and pull the brakes – it should lock immediately
Check your wheels
Throughout the season is the ideal opportunity to check your wheels are up to scratch, particularly if you’ve ridden a lot or through rough terrain. Check the spokes to ensure they are correctly tensioned and replace anywhere necessary. Also, check that the wheel is true. It should spin freely without any side-to-side movement.
Tighten Everything Up
One of your final jobs should be to make sure all the key bolts on your bike are tight. It’s also an opportunity to check no bolts are damaged and need replacing. Most bolts on your bike will have a torque setting and it’s important to adhere to these. It’s easy to over-tighten the seat clamp on a carbon frame, for example, which can cause damage both to the frame and seat post.

Stop it. Really. I mean it. Pick a height between your thigh and waist that seems right. You’ll adapt. Don’t worry about your back. You’ll adapt. If you are really uncertain, make it a little taller and then cut down the legs. After a decade or so, your work habits will put a magic number in your head. You’ll have built enough furniture that you will know your number. Until then, pick a number.
Be careful. Single 24x60" sheets of 3/4" MDF are pretty easy to lift. A doubled sheet is manageable. The countertop - 24x72" panel of 1-1/2" oak - weighs something over 100 pounds. It takes real care to lift safely. The joined top - 3" thick of oak and MDF - is past the range that can be lifted safely by one person. Don't try. Get a friend to help, or rig a block-and-tackle.
Why would you buy a costly platform bed from Ikea or somewhere else when you can make one yourself at home? Oh yes, you can. A bed is the most common furniture piece used in the house and probably the costliest one. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just make a bed of your own, without having to spend many bucks for buying one? So I am here sharing a great tutorial to help you to build a nice comfy platform bed that you can use anywhere in the house.
Woodworking Workbenches are available in a variety of styles. Open Style Wood Workbenches feature a large work surface and a lower shelf. 2-1/4" thick maple top with maple plywood lower shelf. Open Style Wood Workbenches are available as a 2-station unit (28"W) or a 4-station unit (54"W). Open Style Auxiliary Workbenches are used for placement against walls. Shelf features a rear curb to keep contents in place. Solid maple top features angle iron front edge. Plywood shelf is open for maximum functionality. Solid maple legs. Environmentally-friendly UV finish. Units measure 24"D and are available in several lengths and heights. Mitre Box Benches ensure wood pieces are kept flat while mitres are cut. Bench is made using solid maple unit with environmentally-friendly UV finish. Holds a mitre saw up to 26"W and provides a 24" square work surface on both sides. Mitre Box Benches measure 33-3/4"H. Sheet Metal Workbenches are made with a 2-1/4" thick maple top and is protected on two long edges with 2" x 2" angle iron. Solid maple legs and stringers. Plywood shelves are designed to provide open storage of 30" metal sheets. Measures 40"D x 32"H and available in widths of 60" or 96".
I marked the holes by putting a dowel center in the end of a long piece of 1" dowel. Run it through the holes in the base plate, and bang on its end with a mallet. Rotate it a bit and bang it again, and repeat. Odds are the dowel center won't be precisely in the center of the dowel, so you'll be making a small ring of marks. The center of the hole is, of course, the center of that ring.
Traditionally woodworkers (joiners) learnt their craft working as an apprentice in the Master Craftsman's shop doing the grunt work and learning by assimilation over many years. Our approach is a little different. We're making the assumption that you're smart; are developing or already have a passion for woodworking; and can devote three months to intensive learning.
You can also make one for elders and put it in your garden or terrace or anywhere in the house. Elders can use it to relax and kids can use it to play or sleep. Although this is a really beautiful piece of woodwork, it is not that easy to make. Only someone with good woodworking skill can think of making this swing set. Also, I couldn’t find a good tutorial that illustrates the process of building a wooden boat-shaped swing set. Most Probably, I will write one when I build mine.But if you really want this swing set like right now, I would suggest you hire a good woodworker, who can build something similar. Or just search the internet and maybe you get lucky enough to find a tutorial for this. Good luck either way.
Students who are interested in woodworking, either as a career or a hobby, can find classes through certificate and vocational degree programs. Furniture making and opportunities for wood sculpture can also be found at schools that offer studio art programs. In California, a wide range of programs in the field are available, including individuals classes as well as formal educational programs. While degree programs include general education programs, all woodworking programs focus primarily on the development of hands-on skills with respect to safety measures.

This table top is also made from the hardest wood out of any manufacturer we reviewed: oak. In fairness, this can be both a blessing and a curse. The oak wood is extremely durable and noted for its lack of a porous nature. This means the top can withstand plenty of abuse from tool and workpieces. Moreover, you will not have to worry about liquids like lacquers and stains from being absorbed into the top. That said, the hard oak can also do a number on tool sharpness, dulling them prematurely if they are not carefully handled.
There are a number of tricks to using a router. First, the bit spins in a clockwise direction, as you look down at the router from the top. This means that when you cut with the router from left to right, the bit will tend to pull the router away from you, and when you route from right to left, the router will pull towards you. So, if you're hooking the edge guide along the near side of the board, route from left to right, and when you're hooking it along the far side of the board, route from right to left. Second, always test the position of your bit on scrap material. Your odds of getting it exactly right by eye are nil. Third, don't cut more than 1/4" deep on a single pass. We want a 3/8" deep grove, so make your first pass at 3/16", or thereabouts, and make a second pass to reach the full depth.
Relax and enjoy your outdoor space with this smart patio combo consisting of a sofa and chair. You can adjust the size completely to make it fit perfectly onto your patio or deck, and both the sofa and chair have arms that double as trays for al fresco dining. And you can make your own cushions to fit, or use shop-bought ones and add your own ties, if necessary.
This place is so awesome. I just finished their cutting board class with Bob and it was a blast! he was very patient and informative. I showed him a handle I saw online and he actually helped me do it with my board and we ended up going over time of the class and I learned a ton (thanks bob!! You are the best!) I also took the wooden utensils class with tim and it was so much fun. I highly recommend this woodshop everyone there is so nice and down to earth
The jaw for the front vise needed to be 10" long - to span the distance from the leg to the end of the top, 1-1/2" thick - to allow for benchdog holes to be drilled in it, and 5" tall. The end vise was mounted 3/4" lower than the front vise, and the screw and guide rods were thicker, so its jaws needed to be at least 6-1/2" tall. Again, they needed to be 1-1/2" thick to allow for benchdog holes, and 23" long to span the width of the bench.
A woodworker's workbench isn't a table, it's a work-holding system. It's not something you set things on top of, it's a tool that holds your work. Where a worktable might have a machinist's vise bolted to its top, a woodworker's bench is built to accommodate a number of different workholding mechanisms, such as bench dogs, planing stops, hold fasts, or board jacks, and will usually have one more woodworker's vises integrated into its structure.
Another aspect that might irk some buyers is the fact that the capacity of this bench is less than great outside of weight. The top’s surface area is a bit on the smaller end, though its length is more in line with larger models. The width though is less than two feet which can limit some projects. Similarly, the vice capacity is the second smallest on our list at 4 ½”, though this too can be modded with optional additions.
Happy bench building folks. I hope you make it your own and not worry too much about what someone else thinks it should be. Use the rules as a guideline, they have validity, but make it your own in the end. If the rules fit you that’s great, if they don’t quite fit you then make it to fit yourself. It’s you using it, not some guy making a nice living off of telling you how he thinks you should do it. One size does not fit all. Never has, never will.
Cerritos College in Norwalk serves over 21,000 credit students each year with certificate and degree programs for recent high school graduates and adult learners. The Cerritos College Woodworking school is housed in 27,000 square-feet of space and is equipped with over 100 woodworking machines. Under the direction of 20 instructors, the school offers more than 50 classes in woodworking, including those in architectural millwork, cabinet and furniture making, routing and veneering.
This class is open to novice woodworkers and to more experienced woodworkers who would like to broaden (or simplify) their approach to woodworking. What do we mean by novice? We think it means you are a person who has decided to commit to learning new skills; to growing a passion for the craft of working with wood; and has a strong sense of the limitations of your own knowledge.
I'd intentionally made it oversize, intending to trim it flush. Trimming is a little more complicated than usual, because I needed to trim it flush on two faces. The end face extended a good 3/8", so I cut off most of the excess with a circular saw and the edge guide, then flipped the edge guide upside down to make a stable platform for the router. Aside from the use of the edge guide, flush trimming the edge face was unremarkable.

I'd decided on an oil-and-wax finish. Oil finishes are by no means the toughest. In fact, they're really rather pathetic, so far as protecting the wood goes. But they're easy to apply, and not even the toughest finish will stand up to the abuse that a workbench will suffer, so it's more important that it be easy to repair. Wax is usually used to add a high gloss. On a bench, it's there to keep glue from sticking.
Learn how to use power tools, as well as traditional and modern hand tools, safely and effectively. Class assignments introduce basic concepts and techniques, to give you the skills needed for many woodworking projects such as mill board flattening and straightening, creating strong joints for connecting wood, and gluing boards together to make a panel. Students leave with a strong foundation for more advanced wood classes and a small end table. All tools for learning are provided.
ALL Red Kits require planing and jointing of wood. Red Kits require the skill and tools to cut and make joints including panels. The woodworker needs to be able to cut, join, assemble and finish. Red Kits require the woodworker to be able to read the plans and to transfer images and dimensions from the plan to the lumber. It supplies all of the needed hand-selected, dimensioned lumber but woodworking knowledge and tools are recommended to be successful with Red Kits.
Foundations of Woodworking runs every fall (September - December) and winter (January-March). The application process for each session opens 9 months in advance of the course start date. Applications will be considered for registration in the order in which they are received. There is no fee for applying. Accepted applicants will be invited to register. We ask for a deposit of $200 at the time of registration to ensure your place in the class.
It is one of the easiest woodwork projects we are going to discuss today. Although it looks very easy to make, I still could not find any good tutorial on the internet that explains how to build this one. So I am here sharing an article link that gets the closest. The article explains how to make different kinds of DIY candle holders and what items you may need for the project.
When the holes were complete, I flipped the legs and drilled the countersinks with a 1" Forstner bit. Trying to drill a countersink when the center was already drilled would be impossible with a spade bit or an auger, but Forstner bits are guided by their edges, not their center, so they can handle this job. On thing about Forstners, though -- they have a tendency to skitter around a bit when starting, before they bite. An easy fix for this is to drill a hole through a piece of ply, and to clamp that to your work, creating a jig that will prevent the bit from drilling in the wrong spot.
By following the Woodworking Course, Woodworking Classes or Start Your Own Woodworking Business Course, you eliminate mistakes most woodworkers make when working on their first project or starting their first woodworking business. Learn the importance of wood selection, joinery and tool purchases. You will understand how to start and make your new woodworking business successful.
Isn’t this amazing that instead of having to throw that old furniture piece away, you can now reuse it to build something even more beautiful? If you do not like this particular idea, there are many other re-purposeful furniture items you can build from an old dresser. Just search the internet for other DIY project ideas. Here is a link to the video tutorial that explains the same procedure in a more practical manner that you can easily follow through.
All-in-all, the Windsor Design workbench is a nice companion, especially if your budget is limited. It is not as deeply designed and perfected as the other two benches, as there is only one vice, the bench dog holes are drilled through the surface (allowing debris to fall to the top drawers) and the drawers can be a little flimsy if you are not using glue for assembling it, but for the price they offer, there are plenty of perks.
I mocked up the two scenarios, and determined that with the plate inside the stretcher the vise would have a reach of 8 inches, and with it outside the stretcher it would have a reach of 9 inches. I decided that 8 inches was enough, and that the extra inch wasn't worth the extra effort. With the end vise mounted like this, the right edge of the top would have no overhang.
These sorts of things are usually glued and screwed, but it's actually the glue that holds them together - the screws just hold everything tight while the glue cures. Screwing into hardboard or 1/4" ply is an exercise in futility, so I just used glue, and used my two 4x4's as long clamps. It would have been a bit easier, if I'd done this before I'd rough-cut the 4x4's, but it worked out.
For most of the course, we'll be heavily focused on developing your skills using hand tools. As a developing woodworker, there is no substitute for putting in the hours of direct hands on practice it takes to gain an intuitive understanding of wood. The early part of this course focuses on working with hand tools as we believe they bring you closer to wood as a material. You can rip a board on a table saw with out much thought to the wood itself, but you will understand much more about grain if you rip a board with a hand saw. As the course progresses, machine processes are introduced as a pragmatic aid in expediting projects.
Thinking about transitioning into serious woodworking, but don't have half a year or more to spare? Our one-month fine woodworking courses are perfect for those who are looking to move towards professional woodwork, but can’t find the time to commit to a longer course. Here, our woodworking classes will intricately teach you all of the basics, the same as you would for our three, six and twelve-month courses, with projects specially-created for both beginners and the more experienced. This will truly bring your woodworking skills up to the high level of craftsmanship needed within the industry.
Learn the basics of woodworking with simple hands-on projects to build your confidence and skills. Each lesson in this class explores an area of woodworking that will form the building blocks of all future woodworking projects you undertake. Keeping the average DIY'er in mind, this entire class is conducted using basic handheld power tools, with no fancy fixed tools like table saws, lathes, planers, or drill presses.
The base needs to be as wide as the sum of width of the guide strip and the distance from the edge of the shoe, plus a bit extra, With my saw, the overhang is 3-1/2", so I made my guide strip 5-1/2" wide. The distance between from the edge of the shoe to the blade is about 4-1/2", so the base needs to be at least 10" wide. Since I was working with a 24" wide sheet, I just sliced it down the middle.
Drilling a precisely positioned, deep, wide hole isn't easy, without a drill press. So I bought a WolfCraft drill guide. After experimenting with it, and drilling some test holes, I build a jig around it. I screwed it to a scrap of MDF, and then drilled a carefully-centered 3/4" hole. The MDF can be clamped more easily than the base itself, and the 3/4" hole will keep a 3/4" Forstner bit drilling precisely where it is supposed to.
I never, ever, ever bother to write these things. But, I am so incredibly impressed with this product, that I feel compelled to. My six year old daughter LOVES IT, as does my almost four year old daughter. The hammer is just the right size, and it comes with enough pre-cut (good quality) wood for many projects. So far, they have made a house, car, and a plane-- all of which are far more aesthetically pleasing (to me, as a mom) than the plethora of junky plastic toys that seem to fill our home. We've used these projects both as math lessons (measuring the wood, counting the nails needed, learning about angles, reviewing shapes) and during arts & crafts time; but, with just a little creativity, they could be incorporated into just about any learning subject. For the amount of enjoyment we have received, thus far, this product is already worth the money spent, and we have several more projects to go! We will be buying another for little sister's upcoming birthday, most definitely.
If you remember, when drilling the MDF I finished the holes from the other side using a Forstner bit. It made for a clean hole, but the positioning wasn't as precise as I really wanted. So for this, I decided to clamp a length of scrap MDF to the back side, and to drill straight through. My Forstner bits were too short, so I bought an extender. And then I found that the spade bits I was using gave a cleaner exit hole. Whooda thunk?
PS: I saw that a recent review from Nicholas L. hinted that some people weren't welcome at the Community Woodshop. I can say with absolute certainty that everyone I've met has been welcomed with open arms and encouraged to participate at the woodshop. My class is a mix of genders and races, and nobody has experienced any difference in treatment from Bob or anyone else there. I truly can't imagine a situation where anyone would be treated any differently.
I agree that I might quickly outgrow a 12x8 shed. Lowes also offers a 12x10 Rancher (same style, but more room), but the 12x10 is 9 feet, 4 inches high, and my community only allows a maximum height of 9 feet. The 12x8 is exactly 9 feet high. I'm afraid of getting "out of spec" if I exceed the height limit and then getting in trouble with the Home Owner's Association. Having said that, 12x10 would be about the biggest size I could get for the available area in my back yard, so even if I hire a shed contractor to do this, the shed would have to be 12x10 or smaller.

zambia - kafue national park
Shumba Bush Camp
Shumba, literally translated, means “lion” because it is situated at the “place of lions” on the Busanga Floodplains. Huge and shady fig trees provide the setting for Shumba, with its distinctive, high viewing platform overlooking the plains. From here, the sight of red lechwe, intermingled with puku, crowned and wattled cranes, is one you will not forget.
Simple and welcoming, the camp offers itself as an outstanding safari base. There are two luxury tents on platforms and one thatched chalet. Toilet facilities and showers are not en-suite.
The Plains are unique. For most of the year the area is not accessible to man, so animal and bird life flourishes. They are drawn to the plains by its life-sustaining waters, hard on their heels come the predators, cheetah, jackals and hyenas and large prides of tree climbing lions. Herds of buffalo move from plains to forest, roan antelope, zebra and wildebeest roam freely. Shumba is about two and a half hours drive north of Lufupa Lodge and is only open from mid July to the end of October.

Catch our interview with Bard's Tale creator Brian Fargo!
Some games stick with you long after you've played, and in some cases find their way back into your game catalog to be played again and again. Role-playing games seem especially prone to this phenomenon for some, and if you've been playing these games for any significant length of time you've likely lost a weekend or three to The Bard's Tale. The folks at inXile Entertainment have recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to bring The Bard's Tale IV to the world, so we took the opportunity to grab Brian Fargo for a quick live chat.

Counties Recognize Mental Health Awareness Month
WASHINGTON – The National Association of Counties (NACo) Commission on Mental Health and Wellbeing will convene May 9-11 in Washington for a two-day fly-in to advance policy priorities, part of a major effort to move the needle on mental health during Mental Health Awareness Month and beyond. Also during the month of May, NACo will release new data highlighting county perspectives on addressing the mental health crisis.
“This month is about raising awareness around mental health, and NACo’s Commission on Mental Health and Wellbeing is committed to elevating specific policy priorities, informing the conversation with fresh data, and engaging counties and our partners across the U.S. in meaningful action,” said NACo President Denise Winfrey.
County leaders are advocating for policy objectives including:
- Amending detrimental policies under Medicaid, like the Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy (MIEP) and the Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMD) exclusion
- Obtaining direct and flexible resources to support the recruitment, training and retention of a sufficient behavioral health workforce
- Enhancing the intergovernmental partnership for the development and modernization of local crisis response systems and infrastructure, and
- Enforcing policies that ensure equitable coverage for treatment of mental illness and addiction.
“Our policy priorities add up to a cohesive strategy for reimagining the advancement of mental health support,” said NACo Executive Director Matthew Chase. “Counties see the full picture when it comes to mental health, and we are committed to advocating for policy solutions that alleviate suffering, address workforce shortages, remedy systemic failures, and produce better outcomes for all.”
During a briefing the morning of May 11, NACo commission members will examine new data illustrating county government experiences in addressing the mental health crisis. The report is expected to emphasize the growing volume of mental health service needs and the nationwide shortage of behavioral health care workers. Press interested in attending the briefing virtually may register here.
Beginning May 1 and continuing throughout the month, counties will engage in a range of activities in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, including:
- Hosting members of Congress and other state or federal policymakers for visits to mental health facilities and other relevant sites
- Posting messages on social media and in other public forums raising awareness of the county role in behavioral health systems
- Issuing proclamations observing Mental Health Awareness Month
- Convening stakeholders and decisionmakers for meetings to address local mental and behavioral health challenges, and
- Contacting members of Congress and local media to advocate for NACo’s policy priorities.
“Counties are uniquely positioned to lead efforts with a wide range of partners to address our nation’s mental health crisis,” said President Winfrey. “Our central role in healthcare, justice, and emergency response, as well as our responsibility to act as a safety net for those most in need, means we know what is at stake. That’s why we are advocating for practical solutions – this month and all year round.”

CAPE TOWN – Stormers flank Siya Kolisi will lead the Springboks for the first time in his career in the three-Test series against England in June.
SA Rugby made the announcement on Monday morning via their Twitter account @Springboks.
Kolisi has led the Stormers for the past few years, and was one of the real contenders to take over the reins in the absence of the injured Warren Whiteley and Eben Etzebeth.
His appointment will be regarded as a breakthrough for transformation in South African rugby, as he will become the first black Bok captain in the Test arena.
Meanwhile, coach Rassie Erasmus has chosen Kolisi’s Stormers teammate Pieter-Steph du Toit to take charge of the Boks for the one-off Test against Wales in Washington DC on Saturday.
BREAKING! Siya Kolisi has been appointed to captain the Springboks in the Castle Lager Incoming Series against England next month, while Pieter-Steph du Toit will lead the side against Wales in Washington. Both men will captain the Springboks for the first time. #LoveRugby pic.twitter.com/rcy3jPgnbt— South African Rugby (@Springboks) May 28, 2018
“It’s a huge honour to captain the Springboks, and Siya and Pieter-Steph are two honest, hard-working men who enjoy the respect of their fellow players,” Erasmus said in a statement on Monday morning.
“I believe both of them will do a good job as captains. My philosophy is that each player must take responsibility for his position, and must therefore work extremely hard with that one goal in mind – to make the Springboks successful again.”
SA Rugby said that only Frans Steyn and Bismarck du Plessis have yet to join the Bok camp due to French club commitments, and they will arrive in

We actually know the Proscenic brand from cordless vacuum cleaners. Now the manufacturer also has a first suction robot in its range.
The Proscenic brand is another subsidiary of the manufacturer Xiaomi. I myself have already tested two battery-powered vacuum cleaners by Proscenic and the Xiaomi handwriting is clearly visible here. Now there is also a first suction robot, the Proscenic Ultenic D5. Here I noticed the high similarity to the Xiaomi Mi 1C, which I could also present on YouTube.
First I thought about a simple rebranding of the device, but actually there are technical differences between the Mi 1C and the Proscenic Ultenic D5.
Like the Mi 1C, the Proscenic Ultenic D5 navigates with a combination of a dual gyro sensor and a TOF sensor. The exciting thing about this is that the suction robot creates a map of the apartment and also takes the individual rooms into account. So the Ultenic D5 can be sent to a desired room via app. This feature is usually only found with suction robots that are equipped with a laser.
The Proscenic Ultenic D5 also has a wipe function. To use this function a small water tank is attached to the bottom of the Dreame F9. This allows the suction robot to wipe for up to 90 minutes.
So, for my feeling, here we have an upgrade of the Xiaomi Mi 1C. I will soon be able to find out in a test how well the navigation works with the single room cleaning.
The Proscenic Ultenic D5 is priced at about 229.99 USD. However, it is also available from real for just under $199.99. By the way, the model with the additional designation “Mistral” is the version which is directly intended for the European market.
1. With 3 adjustable cleaning speeds, you can adjust the suction power between 3 speeds according to your needs.
2. The max suction power can reach up to 2200Pa, which can easily sucks up fine dust, crumbs, dirts, pet hairs, ect.
Battery type: Li-ion, 2600mAh
Battery power: 14.8V
Suction power: Max 2200 Pa
Dust container capacity: 500ML
Charging time: 4-6 hours
Cleaning time: 70-120 minutes

Essay for ielts writing new topic. Nevertheless, the constraints and possibilities of the medium have encouraged many writers to turn to non-narrative forms or to experiment with forms in which narratives are combined with randomizing algorithms. He has repeated this literally hundreds of times.
Electronic Literature Organizationpp. Terry Harpold in Exfoliations Minneapolis: Drawing an analogy with the scrutiny bibliographers and textual critics lavish on print texts, Kirschenbaum argues that close examination of electronic objects is necessary fully to comprehend the implications of working with digital media.
Do you really go around with your head so far up your butt that you can ignore this stuff, or do you just thing everyone else is stupid. Her electronic literature "primer" is a wide-ranging essay that takes the pulse of the e-literature field at this particular moment, reminding us that "literature" has always been a contested category.
And most of us in the Electronic Literature Organization believe that the two critical orientations represented work together. Devise a search strategy 2. The Electronic Literature Organization, whose mission is to "promote the writing, publishing, and reading of literature in electronic media," convened a committee headed by Noah Wardrip-Fruin, himself a creator and critic of electronic literature, to come up with a definition appropriate to this new field.
The letters are taken from email correspondence with Thomas Lowe Taylor and Lewis Lacook the sources for LTL and LLwith the "versus" indicating contestations translated in the work from the level of semantic content to dynamic interplay between visual forms.

Virulent bigot and conspiracy theorist Rick Wiles used his “TruNews” program Wednesday to unleash yet another anti-Semitic rant in which he declared that “the American people are being oppressed by Jewish tyrants.”
Wiles, who is deeply anti-Semitic and dedicates many of his “TruNews” programs to railing against Israel and Jews, is equally transphobic, so he got particularly worked up over a threat by Jennifer Pritzker, a transgender business owner, to move her company out of Tennessee in reaction to efforts by the state legislature to pass various pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation.
“This is James Pritzker,” Wiles said, putting a photo of Pritzker on the screen and repeatedly misgendering her. “He or his family are the owners of the Hyatt hotel chain. So they’re billionaires, and they’re using their wealth to fund the homosexual, transgender mental illness campaign in America.”
“Are the Ptizkers Presbyterians or Methodist?” Wiles then asked rhetorically. “They’re Jewish. I’m shocked. Another rich Jew using his money to turn America into a perverted cesspool. When are the American people going to rise up against this Jewish oppression? It is oppression. This is oppression. The American people are oppressed by Jewish tyrants.”

As part of the Primary/Bristol series of art commissions, Architectual practice Studio Weave has developed an art work for Sea Mills Primary School, Sea Mills Bristol.
Studio Weave is a young, energetic architecture practice working on a diverse set of projects across the country. Their work ranges from furniture and exhibition design, to shelters and buildings, to urban planning and landscapes. They have been involved in the development of several award winning schemes including most recently their Lullaby Factory, constructed from a network of listening pipes in a back courtyard of London's Great Ormond Street Hospital to create a secret factory of lullabies for children. They have won numerous awards for their work including (for Ecology of Colour) 3 RIBA Awards, including South East Building of the Year; a Civic Trust Award and Special Award for Community Impact and Engagement for their project ‘The Longest Bench’ and a Special Prize in European Copper in Architecture Awards for their project Freya, at Kielder Water.
For Sea Mills, Studio Weave has designed a wooden decked structure surrounding a pond. The space is designed for outdoor teaching with two tiers of raised seating, which allow for class sessions. Sections of the decking jut out over the water to allow students to pond dip and collect wildlife. The work is situated in a quite area of the school and invites contemplation and reflection.
The colour scheme used within the design is typical of the signature colours associated with Studio Weave’s practice. The herringbone patterns of the decking echoes the twill theme that was uncovered in Studio Weave’s site research into the history of Sea Mills and it’s associations with woven fabrics characterised by diagonal lines made in the mills along the water in Sea Mills.
To construct the design, Arnolfini worked with the British Trust Conservation volunteers who cleared out the old pond, preserving plants and wildlife that could become part of the new scheme. The artists worked with Bristol City Council Parks department to develop a year round planting scheme that added sculptural forms attract wildlife and contribute to the ecology of the pond.
Studio Weave’s project for Sea Mills extends the schools outdoor activities and teaching opportunities, returning a previously derelict pond space into an attractive and usable space for children to play, learn and catch frogs.
This commission is funded by Bristol City Council.
Described as ‘one of Britain’s most promising young architects’ (Rowan Moore, The Guardian), Studio Weave is a London-based architectural practice set up in 2006. They balance a joyful, open-minded approach with technical precision to create a diverse body of work for public, private and commercial clients based in the UK and abroad.
Valuing idiosyncrasies, they aim to work with the particular strengths and specificities of a project to create something distinctive and of exceptional quality. They recognise that every project they work on is a transformation (as opposed to a static new reality), and enjoy working closely in realising them with everybody involved in and affected by the process – clients, users, funders, neighbours, contractors, consultants and collaborators.
Their work has been acknowledged by a number of awards including the Civic Trust Awards where their project The Longest Bench picked up the Special Award for Community Impact and Engagement, and more recently the 2013 RIBA Awards where the Ecology of Colour won the South East Building of the Year.
Sea Mills Primary School serves the suburban north west of the city of Bristol. Led by Head teacher Miss Kirsteen Craig, the school’s motto is ‘Discovering Together’. They moved to their current site, a purpose built complex at Riverleaze, in the summer of 2012. The school expressed an interest in a public art commission that worked outside of the new build, bringing in possibilities for outdoor teaching and an interaction with green spaces.
This commission is part of a series of public art commissions curated and managed by Arnolfini for Primary/Bristol; a Bristol City Council and LEP,(Local Educational Partnership) initiative designed to transform aging primary schools across England into state-of-the-art learning environments over the next 15 years. More information on Arnolfini’s involvement here.

Our work for Belmio coffee capsules launches
We’ve been working with Belmoca, the Belgian coffee producer, to relaunch its flagship Belmio capsule brand across Europe with a vibrant, distinctive new identity. The new Belmio brand highlights Belmoca’s aroma guard that ensures freshness remains in the coffee capsules, and differentiates it from the competitive set.
After many conversations with various stakeholders, including the in-house master blender, and a visit to the factory, it became clear that Belmio’s production process was its unique story to tell. Despite being surrounded by tonnes of coffee, there was no coffee aroma in the air; Belmio’s bespoke aroma guard technologies protect and preserve the freshness and aroma of the beans at every stage of the process. All of the heady aroma and flavour is sealed into an airtight, recyclable aluminium capsule that’s so full of sensation, it’s fit to burst.
The new brand and packaging design reflects this unleashing of the full sensory power of freshly-ground coffee in every cup.
It launched this month in Albert Heijn department stores in the Netherlands and Belgium before being rolled-out to Benelux and other key markets in early 2020.
A case study will be coming soon. In the meantime, click here to view the full news story in Food & Beverage News Live.

After a journey of many twists and turns a bill that will lower unemployment taxes was passed by the Legislature in the wee hours of Sunday night as the legislative session came to a close.
AGC supported the original version of the bill SB 5963 but then opposed it as the House added amendments that would have increased not lowered unemployment taxes. The Senate rejected many of the House amendments and AGC again threw its weight behind it.
Calls and emails from AGC members to legislators helped get the bill back to a form that assists businesses said AGC Government Affairs Manager Christine Swanson. If the business community had not united around this issue wed be faced with a tax increase in the middle of a recession.
As passed the bill addresses the fact that the state system does not currently conform to federal rules. Plus the measure right sizes the unemployment insurance fund by slightly reducing the unemployment insurance tax for most business and addresses the voluntary quits issue.
Without changes to the states unemployment compensation system to bring it into conformity with federal law employers in the state could lose $300 million in federal unemployment tax credits.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has ruled that a provision of Washington State law is out of conformity with federal unemployment-insurance laws. The provision in question is commonly known as pay at 2 charge at 4. According to DOL combining two-quarter averaging for calculating benefits with four-quarter averaging for calculating taxes – as is the case in Washington State – does not conform with federal law because federal law requires that tax rates directly correlate with an individual employers experience with unemployment.
Washington State employers are currently receiving the tax credit but it could soon be lost without action by the Legislature.
AGC also believes a review of the current unemployment tax structure is in order as the trust fund has developed reserves well beyond what is needed to pay a years worth of benefits which is the general standard. Under the legislation 98 percent of employers would have their unemployment insurance taxes remain the same or reduced by an average of 15 percent.
Finally current law allows persons who voluntarily quit to receive unemployment benefits if they left for one of the specified good cause provisions. This bill makes the clarification to voluntary quit language that was needed due to a Supreme Count decision. The new language makes it clear that the reasons to quit as listed in the statute are the ONLY reasons employees may quit and still be eligible for benefits. This limits the Employment Security Departments discretion when making a determination. This bill also establishes another good cause provision for individuals who leave work to relocate for the employment of a spouse or domestic partner that is outside the existing labor market area if the claimant remained employed as long as was reasonable prior to moving.
The bill is on the Governors desk awaiting action which is required by May 19.

Some Indigenes of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, on Thursday, approached a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, praying it to stop the inauguration of ministers-designate billed to hold on the 21 of August.
The Indigenes are seeking the order of the court for the stoppage of the inauguration over the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to nominate any indigene of the FCT as minister.
According to Mr. Musa Baba-Panya, a lawyer, who filled the case, this is in contravention of a March 15, 2018 judgement of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, making it compulsory for the President to appoint an indigene of the FCT as minister.
Baba-Panya argued before Justice Taiwo Taiwo on Thursday that “The 43 confirmed ministerial appointees now awaiting swearing-in or inauguration as the Federal Executive Council is incomplete, illegal, unconstitutional, null, void and of no effect whatsoever.
‘’The 1st defendant stands in contempt of law and court for his brazen refusal to comply with the tenor of the Abuja Division of Court of Appeal’s judgment of March 15, 2019 compelling him to the immediate and forthwith appointment off an indigene of FCT, Abuja as minister of the federation.”
Justice Taiwo Taiwo fixed Monday for ruling.
