President Donald Trump is renowned for his Twitter trolling and now one artist has decided to give America's commander-in-chief a taste of his own medicine. Chuck Williams, a 56-year-old sculptor who resides in upstate Wisconsin created the Trump troll doll as way of coping with the distress that came with Trump emerging president.

The 4.75-inch tall and 4-inch wide toy also comes with a little Android cell phone in hand so President Troll is always Twitter ready. For $25, you can pre-order one. Williams, a former senior staff sculptor for the Walt Disney Company in Burbank, California, who has sculpted professionally for film, theme parks, toys and collectibles for 30 years said:

“I was as surprised as everyone else that Trump was elected. I just found myself sculpting a caricature of him to release some steam.”
As to why the doll which has a visible miniature penis is so graphic, Williams said:

“I sculpted him NSFW to make it clear that I sculpted the entire figure and did not simply sculpt a head on an existing toy body. And I wanted to be a bit insulting. Tiny hands you know.”

Williams posted a photo of the first Trump troll doll he made on Facebook and soon, friends wanted theirs too so he decided to start a Kickstarter campaign to cover the manufacturing of so many figures.

The doll is only available on pre-order as the sculptor is still trying to find a quality factory to make them. He hopes the dolls will begin being made and distributed in the next few months, but it could take up to a year.

A female National Youth Service Corp member stirred up a mild drama on Instagram after she recently showcased her orientation camp photos.

Duchess aka Daughter of Zion only wanted to proudly flaunt her brightly coloured NYSC uniform with that of her friends as a sense of fulfillment, when the size of her boobs diverted the attention of her social media followers.

Her original names remain unknown but she has over 55,000 followers on Instagram, with the size of her mammary glands being the major catalyst for the page growth.

The busty young lady has an eye for clothes that leave her boobs trying to fight for ‘independence’. Duchess seems unconcerned about their antics as she parades her gargantuan natural endowment with pride.

Below are some comments and pictures of the amazing lady

A woman who is already fed up with her husband after he denied her the pleasures of s*xual intimacy for long, has cried out.

A woman identified as Marry Ngwenya from Gweshanga Village in Lupane, Zimbabwe, has cried out for help after going seven years without s ex cried.

According to Chronicle, Ngwenya couldn’t withhold her emotions in front of Lupane resident magistrate Ndumo Masuku when she accused her husband Petros Tshuma, a pastor with Zion Grace International, of starving her of s*x since 2010.

Instead, she says he sleeps with other women from his congregation.
“Your worship, I’m sexually abused by this man as he last had s*x with me in 2010. If I ask him about the issue he would promise to make up for it but when it’s time for s*x he simulates sickness then claims to be feeling pain in his stomach,” she said.

She added that he would also claim his testicles were swollen but had other partners to sleep with.

“What I know is that he enjoys s*x with three ladies from our church. I have WhasApp text messages to prove that,” she said.
She literally pleaded for s*x in front of the magistrate.

“I’m a human being. I don’t survive on Bible verses and I need my husband to sleep with me. Now I lead a pretentious life telling the women I lead that I’m enjoying my marriage while I’m s*x starved,” she said in between sobs.

However, Tshuma admitted the blame.

“I love my wife but I have a problem, when I engage in s*x my stomach starts to twinge as a result I feel an intense pain and due to that I had to stop. It’s not true that I’m in love with other women. My wife saw text messages from the women who wanted counselling on their marriages, due to that she quickly concluded that I’m in love with them,” he said.

Masuku ordered Tshuma not to sexually and emotionally abuse his wife.

FRSC's spokesman told newsmen in Abuja that commands of the agency had been fully mobilised for the exercise.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it is set to begin full enforcement of the installation of speed limiting device in commercial vehicles nationwide on Wednesday.

Spokesman of the corps, Mr Bisi Kazeem, told newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja that sector and field commands of the agency had been fully mobilised for the exercise.

Kazeem said that the army, police, civil defence, Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies were on standby to provide security support.

Adding that the “Enforcement of the speed limiting device commences tomorrow (Wednesday) and there is no going back.
“In readiness, the field commands have been fully mobilised to commence full blast enforcement nationwide.

“To facilitate enforcement, a portal of speed limiting device (SLD) was created and is operational and a short code to confirm the installation of SLD is active.

“A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been dispatched with a directive that copies of those SOP’s be shared to security agencies within the commands’ areas of jurisdiction.

“A template for daily report has also be designed and forwarded to commands. Booking sheets with Failure to Install Speed Limiting Device (FSLD) have been distributed to field commands.

“To ensure seriousness of purpose, sector commanders have been advised to start with joint patrols with unit commands to have more personnel and create impact for the whole of February.

“Also, commands are to hold mobile court sittings at the onset and where mobile courts are likely to slow down enforcement, such commands should go ahead without them.

“We have created a situation room to monitor and collate report on daily basis and test-run for the clampdown.
“What we are trying to do is to register that it has started. It is not necessarily impounding all vehicles in Nigeria in one swoop thereby making life difficult for road users, no.

“It is a gradual thing that we are starting all over Nigeria and that is to say it is no longer advisory.
“You either pay fines or be taken to (a) mobile court to be charged or, in extreme situation, you are asked to come and install before your vehicle is released to you after impoundment.’’

Kazeem said defaulters would either pay a fine of N3,000 or have their vehicles impounded.
He explained that the decision to begin with commercial vehicles was informed by the high rate of their involvement in road accidents across the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that enforcement of the SLD installation has been postponed three time since Sept. 1, 2015 following appeal by stakeholders.

Kazeem said that the need to begin with commercial vehicles could not be over-emphasised owing to the high rate of their involvement in road accidents.

Citing FRSC statistics, he said commercial vehicles accounted for over 50 per cent of the total number of vehicles involved in road crashes in the country.

He explained that vendors of the device had been selected through a screening process by an inter-agency technical committee.

Membership of the committee, according to him, comprises the FRSC, Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC).

The Mutura's expressed surprise over the positive reaction their rather frugal wedding has garnered online.

Never in Nigeria! A Kenyan couple heeded the words of our forefathers by cutting their coat according to their clothe.

Wilson, 27, and Ann Mutura, 24, have become viral sensations for their modesty, case in point, their $1 wedding which they attended in what we would refer to as 'house clothes'.

Instead of worrying over an expensive wedding, the pair found a way around their money problem and settled for far less than expected.
BBC reports that Wilson and Ann initially postponed their wedding twice in 2016 over their inability to raise the $300 (£240) fee.

Finally deciding to get married with the lowest budget available, Wilson spent only $1 on two budget wedding rings which still caused a cheer among the witnesses as the pair exchanged their vows.

Thankfully, other expenses such as the license fee, were settled by their church.

The couple has been hailed online for their brave move, with social media users noting just how expensive weddings have become in recent times.

After dating for three years, Wilson and Ann appealed to friends to help them raise some cash for their wedding, all to no avail.
Speaking with BBC, Wilson says that his older brother had advised him to live with Ann without the hassles of a wedding.

However, the fruit seller and his fiancee wanted much more and would not settle for anything less than "a permanent and blessed union".
"As a [Christian] couple, we wanted to marry and live with dignity in order to avoid other temptations," said Ann.

In the same vein, the pair settled for a very, very...... very low-key wedding ceremony which took place in Nairobi, without a wedding cake, flowers or decorations.

Dressed in jeans, T-shirts and trainers, their only assets, two shiny steel circles that served as wedding rings, Wilson and Ann had their dream come true.

Pastor Jasper Ojwach from the Community Christian worship center in Nairobi told the BBC that Wilson left the congregation shocked when he ran out of the church to buy the wedding rings.

Wilson received hearty cheers when he pulled out the rings from his pocket after the exchange of vows.

The couple has also expressed their surprise over the positive reaction their rather frugal wedding has garnered online.

"I believe money should not stop young people like us from getting married. If people love each other and want to marry they should," Ann said.

The Mutura's were celebrated so much so that they have received gifts from companies and individuals who were moved by their story.

The pair is reportedly leaving on their honeymoon very soon after a travel agency gifted them with a five-day break.

Saraki said this in a statement released by his Special Assistant on Print Media, Mr Chuks Okocha.
The President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, has called on youths to take advantage of the Agriculture-Finance Bill recently passed by the 8th Senate to further their engagements in the agriculture business.

Saraki made the call on Sunday in a statement released by his Special Assistant on Print Media, Mr Chuks Okocha, when the executive members of the Tomatoes and Orchid Producers Association of Nigeria (TOPAN) visited him.

According to him, youths should take advantage of the recently passed Agro-Finance Bill by the 8th Senate and access the benefits of agriculture on the small and medium scale financing and agro allied jobs.

He however expressed his happiness that youths had begun to take to agriculture as a means of livelihood instead of waiting endlessly for non-existing white collar jobs.

“This Bill, if properly harnessed by the youths, would create jobs and ensure food security for the country and help grow the economy, especially, in the time of recession in the country,’’ he said.

Saraki assured members of the association of the willingness of the Senate to partner and work closely with them to ensure the realisation of the added value of agriculture to the economy.

He also expressed his happiness that the youths were gradually tapping into agriculture, especially through the use of high yielding seedlings.

Earlier, the leader of the association, Mr Oyeleke Job, had said that the members encouraged massive production of tomatoes and orchids by offering training and technical assistance to producers in the rural areas.

Job said that the association contributed immensely to improving the qualities of tomatoes and orchids, as well as creation of jobs for unemployed youths.

Eric Omare noted that the plan negates the policies of the Federal Government encouraging investments in oil communities.

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), on Sunday urged Shell in Nigeria to shelve plans to relocate its headquarters from Port Harcourt to Lagos.

The IYC in a statement issued in Yenagoa by its spokesman Eric Omare noted that the plan negates the policies of the Federal Government encouraging investments in oil communities.

Omare described the plan as “insensitive and provocative’’ at a time stakeholders were seeking to strengthen the economy of the region.
He challenged the oil firm to also move its oil blocs out of the region.

“This move by Shell is not only insensitive but capable of escalating the already volatile security situation in the Niger Delta region.

“While critical stakeholders are making frantic efforts to restore peace and security to the already volatile Niger Delta, the company is planning another move that would worsen the security situation in the region.

“The IYC is aware of the evil and selfish plan of Shell which is to substantially sell off its onshore assets, maintain only crude oil transportation and storage facilities and operate the lucrative EA and Bonga offshore oil fields located in the Niger Delta from Lagos by carrying its workers through helicopter on a daily basis.

“This plan clearly demonstrates the anti-community and Niger Delta nature of Shell.

“It was such anti-oil producing communities policies by Shell, Chevron, Exxon Mobil and other multinationals operating in the Niger Delta region that gave birth to the present restiveness in the Niger Delta region”, Omare stated.

According to him, the implication of the company relocating from the Niger Delta to Lagos is that the region will lose all the economic and other associated benefits that come with having its corporate headquarters in the region.

Omare said Niger Delta would not only lose revenue but even businessmen doing business with Shell had to move from the Niger Delta region to Lagos.

The aggrieved owners of the home rolled her in mud and poured engine oil all over her body before setting her free in bid to humiliate her.

A pastor has reportedly caused a stir in his church after praying for airtime to enter the phones of his church members.

This is the moment a Malawian pastor, Prophet Anointed Bernard, reportedly knelt down to do something that has been considered rather weird.

The clergyman actually prayed on some phones belonging to his church members so that airtime would penetrate them.

According to Malawi News, which posted the photo and story online, the pastor is based in Lusaka and the incident happened yesterday.

Fayose was said to have led a security team to confront the DSS operatives who stormed the Pastor's hotel at 2am.

Governor Ayodele Fayose has foiled an attempt by the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest popular cleric, Apostle Johnson Suleiman in Ado-Ekiti.

According to reports, the man of God is said to be in the state for a two-crusade, not knowing the DSS had perfected plans to arrest him.
In the early hours of Wednesday, January 25, Operatives of the DSS were said to have laid siege on Suleiman’s hotel, waiting for him to arrive from the day’s programme which was attended by Fayose.

Upon arrival, the agents reportedly moved in and attempted to forcefully take him from his hotel room in the Adebayo area of Ado-Ekiti but were resisted by the hotel security.

While the security men stalled his arrest, the Pastor hurriedly called Fayose on the phone and the Governor immediately led a rescue to the scene.

They say it is good to love your job, that way, you give it your all and your efforts eventually pay off.

Even so, it is also important that your job doesn’t tarnish your image or taint your dignity.

The Nairobi female photo has left many men asking around for her work station just to see how dedicated she is to her job. The shoe shiner is so devoted that she forgets she is wearing a skirt.

The Reps also accused the Petroleum Products Price Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) of setting a fraudulent pricing template for petrol.
Members of the House of Representatives have said that Nigerians should not be paying N145 per litre of fuel.
The Reps also accused the Petroleum Products Price Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) of setting a fraudulent pricing template for petrol.
The observations were made on Monday, July 23, during a public hearing by the ad hoc committee on the review of the petrol price which said the 145 per litre price was causing great pain and suffering to Nigerians.

“In the 2017 budget, which is before us, PPPRA has a proposal of another N500m for regulation, monitoring and supply of petrol,” Committee Chairman, Nnanna Igbokwe said.

“These budgetary provisions have already taken care of the purpose for which you charge 30k on the template, yet Nigerians continue to bear the burden by paying N145 per litre.

“This has left Nigerians in a situation whereby they still pay for lightening services for smaller vessels that go to Cotonou or Lome to offload products from mother vessels. PPPRA will then add the cost to the pump price and ask Nigerians to pay.

“Can Nigerians be paying the cost of capital by importers and dealers? Can Nigerians be paying for lathering services when there are agencies whose duties are to dredge our sea? How effective and transparent is the bridging claims?" he added.

The Reps had said, in November 2016, that Nigerians should not be paying more than N70.04 per litre of petrol.

A homeless man dubbed the “dirtiest man in Europe” has died in the derelict farmhouse where he lived.

Ludvik Dolezal, who was 60, suffered from a psychological condition which made him burn everything he could get his hands on and sleep in the ashes.He lived on an abandoned farm in the village of Skrivany in north-central Czech Republic.

He burnt tyres, plastic and many other things, including all of his belongings, and slept covered in the ashes which he rubbed into his skin.It left him completely black, except for the whites of his eyes, earning him his nickname of the dirtiest man in Europe.

Firefighters were often called out to extinguish the blazes he started, although neither he nor anyone else was ever hurt in his fires .
Mr Dolezal lived on the benefits he was paid by the Czech government but he was not given even that over fears he would set fire to the money.

Instead his money was looked after by the village mayor who prepared him a package of food to live off each day.

It was when he did not come to the local shop one day to pick up his food parcel that people realised that something was wrong.The mayor contacted local health workers who went out to check on him and they found his dead body in the dilapidated farmhouse.

Police spokeswoman Lenka Buryskova said that an autopsy would be held to confirm the cause of death but said there were no suspicious circumstances.

In 2012, Mr Dolezal told filmmakers that he had first moved to the farmhouse to join his brother-in-law after being released from prison where he had served a short sentence after losing his ID card.

He said that his parents had died and, although he had eight brothers and sisters, he was not in touch with any of them.

Unemployed people are everywhere; some of us work jobs we don’t like but do it anyways just to get by.

In case you are trying to get a job or change your present job soon, these are a few tips to help you get that dream job you have always desired very quickly.

1. Decide what type of job you want.
A lot of people do not yet even know the kind of job they want. If you want to get a job in a civil engineering company for example, is it a road construction company or a roofing company you want? You have got to decide that first so you know the areas to channel your energy.


2. Speak to people.
Tell your friends and family, talk to people working in that field already. Let people around you know what kind of job you want. Even if they can’t help right away, they will easily remember to notify you whenever they see any opening or opportunity for you to get in.


3. Get your CV optimized.
Most people who read the CV’s don’t have the time to scan each one thoroughly to know if they are qualified for the job. So they either roughly browse through each or use software to scan for the relevant keywords. So, get a professional to help you read through and edit the necessary places.


4. Read about your desired field.
Upgrade your knowledge about the latest trends, industry standards, industry leaders, best practices, problems peculiar to your industry etc.

5. Volunteer.
Everybody smiles at volunteers, especially large organizations. They could always use someone to help them do the dirty jobs. This can help you gain valuable experience that can be used to get a paid job later on.


6. Upgrade your interview skills.
Go online and read about how to prepare for an interview and also how to conduct yourself before an interviewer. Don’t wait till you get an interview to learn them. Get used to them now beforehand.


7. Join the same club or church as the boss.
Join a social gathering that one of the industry leaders in your desired field is a member of and try your best to get noticeably active. One of these days, you both will have a conversation that will lead to something good.

The governor had consequently ordered that letters of promotion be given the affected workers without further delay.
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose

Gov Ayo Fayose of Ekiti has given approval for the immediate promotion of 15,772 public servants in the spirit of Christmas,

A statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Sunday and signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Idowu Adelusi, said the promotion cuts across workers in the local governments, teaching service and the core civil servants.

The statement said that the beneficiaries consisted mainly of those whose promotions were due since 2012, 2013 and 2014.

It said the governor had consequently ordered that letters of promotion be given the affected workers without further delay.

The statement, however, clarified that the promotion status still remained nominal, as the cash backing for the exercise would be effective only from March 2017.

It announced that all categories of workers in the state had been paid two months salaries in December, while Christmas bonus would be paid immediately after the Christmas holiday.

The statement quoted the governor as saying that, though, the state was currently grappling with economic challenges, it did not mean that deserving workers should not be recognised for hard work.

“We won’t deny our workers their dues and entitlements, economic recession or no economic recession, as leaders of the state, we must be fair to all and that is what we are doing

“Our administration is resolute in giving the best to all Ekiti people, including those in the public service.

“This month alone, we have paid two salaries, we are also paying Christmas bonus after the holiday.

“We deliberately spaced the payment of the bonus so that after the Christmas holiday, workers will still have something to fall back on,” it said.

Many women have come out to protest against the killing of their children, disrupting a security meeting by the Governor in Kaduna state.
Some irate women went on rampage in Kafachan Jama Local Government Area of Kaduna state protesting half-n*ked against the Government over the killing of their children by alleged Fulani herdsmen.

It would be recalled that some weeks ago, the Governor of the state Nasir El-Rufai had said he had to pay some Fulani herdsmen to stop them from slaughtering villagers in the Southern Kaduna.

It was gathered that the women were forced to strip after alleging that soldiers had killed some youths who took to the streets to protest against the killing of innocent lives in Southern Kaduna by Fulani herdsmen.

The women stormed the Jema’a Local Government secretariat unclad disrupting an ongoing security meeting being chaired by El-rufai.
The women told the Governor that soldiers had followed some of the youths who were embarking on a protest, shooting sporadically, killing one and injuring many around Garaje, Kafanchan.

Gov. El-Rufai who was at the Emir of Jema’a’s palace today, vowed to bring to book perpetrators of the protest that led to the destruction of property in Kafanchan metropolis.

Governor El-Rufa’i, after inspecting the extent of destruction, said the dastardly act must not be allowed to continue.

For its inability to pay its workers in the last seven months, operations at Arik Air has been shutdown indefinitely by the aviation union.

The unions in the aviation sector have directed the commencement of a joint strike at Arik Air, over the airline’s failure to pay seven months salary arrears.

According to the report by NAN, the joint industrial action is scheduled to commence with effect from December 20.
The unions gave the directive in a strike notice obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Monday.

NAN reports that the notice was signed by Mr Olayinka Abioye, General Secretary, National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), and Mr Frances Akinjole, General Secretary, Air Transport Senior Staff Services Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN).

It was also signed by the General Secretary of the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE), Mr Aba Ocheme.
The unions said the strike would continue indefinitely, until their demands are met by the management of Arik Air.

Their demands include: “That the management of Arik Air allows total unionisation of its employees, in compliance with extant labour laws and with respect to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The management of Arik Air recalls all sacked employees who have been victimised for their roles in the effort to bring about unionisation in Arik Air.
“Payment of salary arrears for seven months, with a commitment to pay salaries as at when due, henceforth.”
They also called for the immediate review of all employee remunerations which had remained the same since the inception of Arik Air, over ten years ago.
The unions further demanded for immediate commencement of negotiations of Conditions of Service to be concluded within four weeks and remittance of Pension, Tax, and statutory deductions to the appropriate authorities.

They also urged the management of Arik Air to comply with the Nigerian Expatriate Quota law.
“Towards the full realisation of the strike, all aviation workers, in complete solidarity with their enslaved comrades in Arik Air shall withdraw all services being rendered by third parties.

“The aviation workers will be supported by Nigerian workers from all other sectors throughout Nigeria, to underscore the seriousness of the matter at hand.

“In the above respect, all ground handling services, security clearance for Arik Air ticket holders, marshalling, aviation fuel supply, air traffic control, safety inspection, etc, will be completely withdrawn.

“All Arik Air employees, aviation workers, and other stakeholders are hereby enjoined to ensure full compliance with this directive please,” the unions said.

Super Eagles

When the former captain of the Super Eagles, Sunday Olisehwas appointed as the head coach of the team, the President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, told the world that he was the African Pep Guardiola who would take Nigerian football to heights never imagined.

But during the short reign of the African Guardiola, the Eagles wobbled and fumbled so bad that there was practically no direction for the team. Oliseh succeeded in alienating senior players in the team, stripping Vincent Enyeama of the captainship ban and gave it to a young Ahmed Musa, ignoring the senior players like Mikel Obi and Efe Ambrose.

Emmanuel Emenike and Enyeama retired from the team and Oliseh entered altercations with the federation and insulted Nigerians to no end.

On the pitch, results were also nothing to write home about as the team could not beat the so-called minnows of African football and in the end, the team could not qualify to the 2017 African nations Cup because of Oliseh’s blunders.

Dame Patience Jonathan

In the history of First Ladyship in Nigeria, Dame Patience Faka Jonathan, the wife of former president, Goodluck Jonathan, was the most powerful as her influence was felt from Aso Rock to her home state of Bayelsa.

Mama Peace as she was fondly called, did everything for her husband to return to power for a second term but it was not to be as the incumbent president was shunted aside by Muhammadu Buhari.

Presently, Dame Peshe, as she was also called by her admirers, is enmeshed in a $15 million scandal that has been seized by the EFCC in different bank accounts which were traced to her domestic aides.

When the anti-graft agency discovered the money in the accounts belonging to aides of the Jonathans and asked them to say how they came about the humongous monies, Dame Jonathan came out to claim they belonged to her and were gifts from friends and political lobbyist in the six years she was First Lady.

But such an explanation has not been able to cut ice with the EFCC and she has been running from pillar to post to reclaim the money without any success.

Abdul Jibrin

The former Chairman, Appropriation Committee of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin also ended up as one of the biggest losers of the year 2016 after his attempts to indict some principal officers in the House in the much talked about budget padding scandal.

Jibrin who only decided to blow the whistle after he was removed from his position, incurred the wrath of his colleagues as they ganged up on him and tried to cow him into submission.

Even his party, the APC, also try to ban him from going on with the war against his colleagues but when he refused to back down, he was suspended for 90 legislative days, the equivalent of one year.

In the meantime, Jibrin would not be part of the money sharing that goes on in the House while his constituency would be starved of a representation, just because he tried to do the right thing at the wrong time. He turned out to be the loser in the power play and the scandal has been conveniently swept under the carpet.

Prophet TB Joshua

Prophet TB Joshua, the General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), is one of the most respected men of God in Nigeria and in Africa, for that matter but in the year 2016, the popular seer seemed to have lost some touch with some predictions he gave.

Before the very notable goof when he categorically declared thatHilary Clinton would win the presidency of the United State of America over the eventual winner, Donald Trump, not many doubted his predictions as he was mostly on point but just that shot set him back greatly as many have continued to equate him with fake prophecy.

Apart from the Hillary Clinton/Donald Trump fiasco, billionaire businessman and governorship candidate in the recently concluded Ondo State gubernatorial polls, Jimoh Ibrahim also mentioned that TB Joshua predicted that he would win the election and in the end, he failed woefully.
