y’all wanna see something crazy

i bought this expandable drop-leaf dining table (& two “matching” chairs) last year for cheap because i was like listen that bad boy could be beautiful as hell with some love and thankfully my partner understands my particular brand of insanity

we have pretty much always kept tablecloths over it because uh it looks like this! but i finally was like It Is Time and so after two rounds of stripping and a lot of sanding it currently looks like this:

it still needs a some more sanding and i need to steel wool the edge groove more then i ordered some fancy oilwax for kitchen surfaces (osmo topoil). it’ll get a few coats of that and she will be done!

How Etiebet’s 2016 letter offers new clues to N2.4bn debt to Access Bank

In a letter dated November 9, 2016 written by former petroleum minister and All Progressive Congress (APC) chieftain, Don Etiebet, in respect of what is turning out to be a messy N2.4 billion indebtedness by an oil and gas company, Top Oil, to Access Bank plc, appears to offer a new narrative to the dispute. Writing in his capacity as chairman of Top Oil and Gas Company Limited, the letter shows an admission by Etiebet of the indebtedness and profused pleading for time to resolve the matter with the principal parties, CASTOIL that appear to have brought the business from Mobil Oil Nigeria Limited, for which Top Oil was hoping to profit from as a third party participant. However, the Etiebet letter seen by Business A.M. among the documents making the court rounds, also shows while CASTOIL had the direct supply business with Mobil Oil, Top Oil made have found the business very attractive as to take full responsibility of sourcing the funds, hence the Import Finance Facility (IFF) made available to it by the bank for the purpose of importation of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) for supply to Mobil. In the letter addressed to “The Manager, Access Bank Plc, Business Banking Division, Chevron Roundabout Branch, Lekki” with the heading, “RE: US$6.3 MILLION OUTSTANDING L/C PAYMENT”, Etiebet refers to the ‘demands’ by the manager for the payment of an outstanding letter of credit (LC) of US$6,382,666.00, “which was used to import 10,000MT of AGO to supply Mobil Oil Nigeria Limited from Augusta Energy.” In what appears to suggest an apology over the situation, Etiebet then wrote: “I regret that this payment is still outstanding till today. The true and correct position is that Top Oil and Gas Development Company Limited ( TOPOIL ) carried out this contract with a third party, CAST OIL and GAS LIMITED (CASTOIL) which brought the project from Mobil Oil Nigeria Limited. TOPOIL did not deal directly with Mobil Oil as it is common practice in the industry that companies cooperate to execute the project of this nature and share the profit,” Etiebet wrote. He went on to explain that after an initial payment made by the third party, CASTOIL, the latter failed to make a further payment, suggesting this to be the reason for the delay and failure to redeem the letter of credit sum. “Unfortunately, after the initial payment of N170,000,000.00 from CASTOIL into TOPOIL account with Access Bank Plc in August 2015 as agreed, CASTOIL failed to make further payments. CASTOIL then request (sic) TOPOIL to give it some time to reconcile certain issues with Mobil Oil and in the process issued TOPOIL a “PAYMENT COMMITMENT” in the sum of N1,321,431,000.00, which is what CASTOIL owed TOPOIL for the L/C at N200/$ at that time plus other costs and to pay up in three instalments by the 31st of August 2015 as per attached CASTOIL letter,” Etiebet, in the letter, also referred to how the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had become involved, expressing confidence that the money would be paid to TOP OIL for it to settle Access Bank, what it owes it. The letter further reads: “When the commitment was not honoured, TOPOIL reported the case to the security agencies. In the process of the investigations, CASTOIL entered into another agreement with TOPOIL to pay up by the end of November 2015, with understanding to pay interests and any forex variation from N200/$ to the fx rate at the time of completion of payment. The case is being handled by the EFCC with CASTOIL’s Managing Director, Mr.TunjiAmushan being on Administrative Bail with sureties and his International Passport impounded as he reports to the EFCC every Thursday with promises to pay up. EFFCC has assured us that they would recover all the money plus interest and FX variation from him before long plus other sanctions.” The letter showed that apparently while TOPOIL was trying to resolve whatever difficulties it was having with CASTOIL over the payment it did not inform or carry along with its bankers. In further demonstration of remorse, therefore, Etiebet then stated in the letter: “I am very sorry that this was not reported to you before now because we thought CASTOIL would pay up as has been promised since last year for us to liquidate the outstanding L/C payment. So I take this opportunity to commit to you that the debts of US$6,382,666 to your bank shall, meanwhile, be paid from alternative sources including profits TOPOIL would be making from its current contracts with NNPC-Retail to supply AGO to Total-Offshore. “With other contracts in the pipeline including the supply of PMS to NNPC-Retail, I hereby give my personal undertaking to pay all the outstanding in the US$6,382,666 within 90 days. I want to let you know that we all in TOPOIL regret this unfortunate situation but thank you so much for your continued understanding and cooperation,” Etiebet concluded his rapprochement to the bank. Sources close to the situation said nothing came out of the promises made in this 2016 letter as the bank did not receive any payment. The bitter contestation of the indebtedness that is currently going on would shades this profound apologetic and hugely conciliatory position in this letter and raises questions about how things got to this point and what, if any, could be the underlying motive behind a complete repudiation of the debt that in this November 9, 2016 letter was fully admitted. In an advertorial widely published in the media, Obodex Nigeria Limited, a company in which Etiebet has large interest and is chairman, claims that it does not owe any debt to Access Bank, a claim which seems to contradict the November 9, 2016 letter. FACT SHEET TO POINT OF DISAGREEMENT On November 21, 2014, Access Bank, following an accepted offer letter to the TOPOIL provides a US$6 million Import Finance Facility (IFF) to facilitate the importation of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) for supply to Mobil Producing Unlimited by TOPOIL . The facility was tenured for a year with a maximum of 90 (ninety) days circle. In addition to the US$6 million IFF, TOPOIL was also availed a N100 million Revolving Time Loan vide the same offer letter for the purpose of facilitating the payment of Custom duties and other related Logistics. This was also tenured for 1 (one) year with a maximum of 90 (ninety) days circle. Several Letters of Credit (LCs) were issued on the facilities, but only 1 (one) remained unpaid which is A2015C1091CL. The facts on the stated LC are stated below: In April 2015 TOPOIL submitted a Proforma Invoice valued at $5,802,500.00 and informed Access Bank it had an order from Mobil. Consequently, LC A2015C1091CL was issued in favour of a company called Augusta Energy SA (“Beneficiary”). Upon presentation of all shipping documents required for this particular LC, funds were remitted by the bank to the beneficiary. In 2016, Access Bank increased the TOPOIL’s IFF from US$6 million to US$12 million and this was communicated to TOPOIL in an offer letter dated January 20, 2016. When the facility was not paid, the chairman of TOPOIL , Don Etiebet wrote to Access Bank in a letter dated November 9, 2016 that the LC was done with a third party known as Cast Oil & Gas Limited and committed to repay the Customer’s indebtedness. Due to TOPOIL’s failure to repay the sum of US$6,382,665.71 at the expiration of the facility, the said amount was converted into a N2.2 billion Term Loan through an offer letter dated July 4, 2017 and the unutilized sum of US$5,617,334.29 on the US$12million IFF was also converted to a N1,463,000.000.00 Time Loan through the same offer letter. The N1,463,000.000.00 Time Loan was, however, never utilised by the TOPOIL . Read the full article

Oil & Gas Recruitment Agency in London, UK

Conventional oil and gas refers to petroleum, or crude oil, and natural gas extracted from the ground by conventional means and methods. Oil and natural gas are formed from decaying plant and animal remains that became buried within layers of the earth and subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. These two types of fossil fuels have the world’s primary sources of energy for decades. Oil has been an essential commodity since the mid-19th century. From kerosene lamps today’s gasoline cars and plastic products, it has found a wide variety of uses. They have enabled advances in quality of life and in all sectors of the economy, from residential lighting, cooking and heating to transportation and industrial manufacturing. The need for oil is still very strong, although it goes through normal fluctuations. More than 100 countries currently produce oil and /or natural gas and the two fuels are expected to maintain their importance across the energy sector for many decades to come. Oil & Gas Recruitment Agency in London will always help you to know about in this regard. Natural gas, when produced and used domestically, is shipped in its vapour form through a network of distribution pipelines to a local distribution company and then delivered to a customer. When natural gas is shipped to a distant foreign market outside of where it is produced, the natural gas needs to ‘shrink in size’ or be compressed in order to ship large volumes economically – this liquefies the natural gas (LNG). Natural gas in a liquid state is called Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The ‘Shrinking” of natural gas reduces its volume by a factor of about 600. Best Oil & Gas Recruitment Agency in London and Top Oil & Gas Recruitment Agency in London can give proper guidance. The world’s dependence on oil and gas is increasing as global economies and infrastructure continue to rely heavily on petroleum-based products. Discussions of when world oil and gas production will peak seem to be on the periphery, even amid a weakened global economy and the shrinking availability of oil. The oil and gas industry continues to wield incredible influence in international economics and politics – especially in consideration of employment levels in the sector, with the U.S. oil and gas industry supporting at least 10 million jobs. According to the trade association Oil & Gas UK (OGUK), the industry, along with its far-reaching supply chain, is spread across Britain. So whether you want to work offshore on an oil rig or in an office at a key energy hub, there’s plenty of choice. From engineers and geologists to office-based roles in accounting and human resources (HR), employers require graduates with varying interests and from many different academic backgrounds. You could be a chef supporting the workforce on an oil rig, you could work on sustainable energy futures, climate change and international development for an energy giant such as Scottish power. Are you passionate about your job in the oil and gas (Upstream, Midstream & Downstream) industry? In UK are looking for talented individuals to lead courses to teach others about the industry and oil industry. This position is offering flexible schedules, international travel, competitive salary, training the next generation. Oil & Gas Recruitment Agency in UK and Best Oil & Gas Recruitment Agency in UK provide jobs opportunity. Recruitment refers to the process of identifying, attracting, interviewing, selecting and hiring employees.

Not only will this create problems for the company in the long run, particularly in the attainment of its goals, but it would mean that the organization would also have wasted its resources in training an employee that is not right for the job after all. Top Oil & Gas Recruitment Agency in UK takes care of their process very well. Employees are the lifeblood of companies, so finding and attracting the best candidates possible is of utmost importance.

Craft an impressive cutting board in eight easy steps

Start now so you're ready the next time you see another human being. (Courtney Starr/)

The warmth and natural qualities of a handmade charcuterie board make it the perfect way to welcome a guest. This is a simple project that can be completed with a basic set of tools—without electricity, even. You’ll find plenty of uses for this piece as you chop veggies on it, serve food to friends and family, and display it in your kitchen.

Warning: DIY projects can be dangerous, even for the most experienced makers. Before proceeding with this or any other project on our site, ensure you have all necessary safety gear and know how to use it properly. At minimum, that may include safety glasses, a face mask, and/or ear protection. If you’re using power tools, you must know how to use them safely and correctly. If you do not, or are otherwise uncomfortable with anything described here, don’t attempt this project.

1. Trace a shape onto a piece of wood. I’ve always been attracted to serving boards that embrace the natural qualities of wood. Live edge boards do this well, as each slab features the natural exterior of the tree it came from. I’d recently picked up a piece of live edge cherry that seemed perfect for this project, I let the natural edge of the piece define the shape of the board. Additionally, because I enjoy inviting the wood to make design decisions, I shaped the handle on my charcuterie board to follow the cathedral grain pattern in the wood. I recommend using a hard wood for your project, as it will resist the wear and tear of chopping.

You can freehand a unique shape that you won't find in a store, but feel free to use a compass if you want any precise curves. (Courtney Starr/)

2. Create a template. Cutting a template out of paper can help you get a feel for whether or not you like the shape you’ve drawn. You can hold it in your hand, see if the size feels good, and easily manipulate the shape by slicing off slivers of paper to get the design just right. Additionally, you’ll have the benefit of being able to reproduce the project in the future if you’d like. If you need help making nice curves, consider using a French curve, or even tracing the shape of an existing item in your house that you find attractive.

3. Prepare the wood. You’ll want a nice, flat board, so it doesn’t wobble around on your countertop. I started by removing the bark from my piece with a drawknife, then proceeded to use a hand plane to make both sides of the board perfectly flat.

<b>Note:</b> You can use a power jointer and planer for this step if you have access to them.

<b>Tip:</b> To flatten a board with a hand plane, place the wood on a flat surface and press on each corner to find the high spots on the wood. Then flip the board over and plane them down, checking your work often.

Remove any bark. It doesn't taste very good. (Courtney Starr/)

4. Transfer the template to your board. When your wood is flat and ready to go, trace the final shape onto it.

5. Bore a hole in the handle. If you’re going to make a handmade charcuterie board, you might as well display it. I like when I can hang kitchen accessories, so I recommend boring a hole in the handle of your board around a ¾-inch in diameter. Be sure to leave at least a ½-inch of wood between the hole and the outside edge of the handle.

6. Cut out your board. A simple coping saw will do the job, as its thin blade makes it especially good at cutting along the tight curves of the handle. Don’t fret too much about cutting a perfectly smooth line, as you can correct any mistakes at the next step.

<b>Note:</b> If you have a bandsaw, you can use that for this step.

Use a saw with a thin blade, like a coping saw, to unique designs. (Courtney Starr/)

7. Shape the wood. I prefer to use a drawknife to get the final shape on a charcuterie board. With this basic tool, you can quickly go from heavy stock removal to finessing the smallest details, without missing a beat. I also love the faceted look that drawknives give to the wood since each of the small surfaces left by the blade catch the light in a different way. I figure if I’m making something by hand, you might as well be able to tell! To shape tight corners like the one on the handle, use a round rasp, also called a rat tail rasp.

<b>Tip:</b> If you’re not confident with a rasp or drawknife, try them out on a scrap piece of wood. They’re fairly simple to use with a bit of practice.

You’ll want to round the hole in the handle of your board so it’s easier to hang. (Courtney Starr/)

8. Sand the wood. There’s no need to employ a power sander on such a small project, so sanding by hand will do the trick. I recommend sanding up to 220 grit in order to get a nice, smooth surface that will be easy to clean.

9. Finish the board. Applying finish to a charcuterie board is important, as it will encounter harsh treatment from chopping, serving moist foods, and getting washed after use. I chose Osmo’s TopOil to finish my board because it’s food safe and gives the wood a beautiful look and feel.

<b>Note:</b> It’s imperative to choose a finish that is food safe. Make sure to read the production description carefully to determine whether or not your finish of choice is rated for direct contact with food.

Apply a finish that is food safe and easy to refinish after extended use. (Courtney Starr/)
