Netanyahu misses deadline to build a new government. Here's what comes next
By CNN For Citizen Digital Published on: May 06, 2021 07:45 (EAT)
Benjamin Netanyahu's hold on the Premiership of Israel looks a little less secure after a deadline to build a new government passed at midnight (5pET).
Seconds before the deadline passed, a statement from the Prime Minister's Likud party announced he had returned the mandate to form a new government back to President Reuven Rivlin.
The onus is now on the President to decide which of Israel's other political leaders he might entrust with the task of trying to form a governing coalition, or whether to pursue a different path to secure a breakthrough.
The favourite to get the nod is centrist Yair Lapid, whose Yesh Atid party came second behind Netanyahu's Likud in the March 23rd election.
Lapid is a one-time Finance Minister who entered politics in 2012 after a successful career as a TV news anchor.
But even if Lapid is given the mandate, the key man in coalition negotiations looks set to be Naftali Bennett, a former Defense Minister and leader of the right-wing Yamina party.
Even though his party won only seven seats in the 120-seat Knesset, Bennett finds himself in the extraordinary position of having been offered the Prime Ministership by both Netanyahu and Lapid, both of whom have offered him a rotation arrangement and said he can go first.
Up to now, Bennett has said his preference is for a right-wing administration, but he has not ruled out a unity government straddling a wide array of parties from right to left.
When asked by CNN how quickly such a unity government could be formed if Lapid were given the mandate, one individual close to negotiations said, "As quickly as Bennett wants."
"There is no reason it could not happen in a week if he decides he is going for it," the individual added.
Another individual with knowledge of the negotiations told CNN that Bennett needed to allow Netanyahu's mandate to expire without success in order to show that a right-wing government was not possible.
"He can't take the blame for that," the second individual said.
Benny Gantz, Israel's current Defense Minister, made an appeal to his predecessor Tuesday evening not to hesitate.
"Naftali Bennet, I know that you're a person of values. I know that Israel is important to you…You must announce today that you are joining a pro-change government and that you support the presidential mandate being granted to MK Yair Lapid…You are a person of values. Don't let Netanyahu trample you," Gantz said.
Israel's Prime Minister had also made a last-minute appeal to Bennett's values as the mandate's deadline drew close, posting a clip from the election campaign of the Yamina leader declaring he would not back a government with Yair Lapid, and declaring, "I am a right winger and it [would] contradict my values. And for me, values have weight."
"Naftali, prove you are still a right-winger," Netanyahu's tweet implored.
Israel's fourth election in under two years, like the previous three, was seen first and foremost as a referendum on Israel's longest-serving leader.
Netanyahu has been on trial since last May on bribery, fraud and breach of trust charges.
He denies the charges and has used them as a rallying cry for his right-wing base, describing the proceedings as a witch-hunt pursued by liberal elites and the media.
But his campaign was not enough to prevent another deadlocked parliament, which prompted the Israeli leader to attempt to bring together some unlikely bedfellows in his efforts to stay in power.
His hopes were dashed when the extreme-right wing Religious Zionist party refused to be part of any government which had the support of the United Arab List, an Islamist party which had itself broken new ground by making clear it could support a government led by Prime Minister Netanyahu.
With the mandate now back in his hands, the President is set to consult again Wednesday with the parties before deciding on his next move, expected within the next few days.
Instead of giving it to an individual, he could choose to hand the mandate over to parliament, effectively inviting any of the parliamentarians to come back to him as the head of a 61-seat majority.
Until any new government is agreed and sworn into office, Benjamin Netanyahu remains Israel's Prime Minister.

It's not everyday you get to meet your Photography Hero!
What was all the fuss about????
Well for me Joe is an inspiration about how to use light, sunlight, or flash. How to balance the two and even how to use a mixture of sunlight, studio lights and portable speedlights.
In the great outdoors having this control over the light hitting your subject was a real game changer for me and transformed my business photography, specifically my environmental portraits, here's my first foray into a off camera speedlight portrait.
I think this is the original frame straight out of camera, an Canon 5D. Taken whilst lying in a field avoiding horse muck and lets just say wet patches of grass.... it's not all glamorous! The other thing I had learnt is what I call working the scene.... that's to keep moving looking for new angles adjusting the lighting and getting the subject involved.
Having the control of lighting transforms your images, which is especially useful when shooting for business with Environmental shots.... popping a little extra light in to fill in shadows or highlight a subject can really make a difference.
Here a Speedlight was stuffed under the bonnet to get rid of the harsh shadow, it has created ashadow but because of the eye contact it works. Having Mike lit brightly also meant I didn't lose the background colours as the day was so sunny.
With having literally ten minutes to make this photograph a handheld speedlight made it possible to balance ambient light to see the clouds adding drama to the shot.
I got to say a quick thank you to Joe after the presentation. His inspiration has definitely changed my photography and with that the amount and quaility of work I do, which in turn has been life changing. Cheers Joe!

Town Hockey
Relatively new to this board. Really entertaining. Nice work to all. Question though - why does everyone think so poorly about town hockey? I have a kid who plays for a very good tier one EHF team and also plays on his top town team. The town games are pretty high quality, and almost everyone on the teams at that level skate for high level club teams (whether they always show for the town games is a different discussion). So what am I missing? the quality isn't as good as elite EHF or probably E9 (I'm guessing) but after that? Seems pretty similar to platinum EHF (in my experience at least).
Re: Town Hockey
Its because parents spend $4000 on club teams to feel superior. Club teams practice more so those players should eventually get better as they have more ice time.
Like anything else it depends on the town and the birth year. I know Hingham has some good town hockey, but most of those kids play club hockey where they learn the skills. Town hockey doesn't teach skills on the same level as club. It's a crazy statement to say that town hockey is similar to EHF and E9. Which town? Which E9 and EHF teams? Sounds like you are just mad that town hockey isn't what it once was. The real competition comes from playing on a club team. People don't play college hockey just because they played town hockey. Would seem nice and simple if that were the case but it's not.
I have no problem with town hockey but I've heard club coaches complain that kids show up tired to the club game because of the town game they played that morning.
Lets just say I have too many kids in hockey. Approx ages 9 to 17. They have always played club hockey and also filled in whenever available at their local town team that plays in VHL. I see a huge drop off in talent at the town level. My 7th grader plays Fed platinum and is average in that league. He plays in VHL Elite and is very good. I think the town teams have some good players but the roster falls off at the bottom.
1. what I said was that town wasn't as good as EHF elite and also not as good as E9 (I have no experience with E9, so that's an educated guess). I'm comfortable saying that the high level town teams could be competitive against EHF platinum teams.
2. As I mentioned, my kid does both. So it's not some nostalgia post. I was curious why so many are down on town hockey (it seems pretty good to me at the top levels).
3. The point was more at the top Town levels, all the kids seem to skate on a top club team in addition to their town team. It's not just my town it's the towns they play also.
4. I think the person who mentioned depth of roster made a good point.
I have no idea why people are down on town hockey. People on these forums are down on many things about hockey from leagues to coaches to players on this forum. Everyone here seems to know how it should be done.
All I've heard about town hockey is that it doesn't provide the necessary skills to really get better. I think some people like being involved with their town and perhaps showing off their kids to their neighbors. People do pay a lot of money to live in certain towns these days so one would think people would be more into town hockey.

Town hockey is where 98% of most kids should be playing but parents chase the dream.

That's kind of like saying all kids should be in public school.

Yes...98% of the kids all end up in the same colleges don't they?

No, but you said all kids should be playing town hockey. Who are you tell people what they should be doing?

Don't start using numbers and bullet points, it confused the morons on this board.
As one poster mentioned, it's really depth of the team at Town Hockey because not all club kids in that town choose to play town. On a club team, the expectation and general rule is that all kids will be evenly skilled. On town, that is not necessarily the case. It's lucky if it works out that way, but with so many kids who choose to only do town, the depth of skill may not be there. And town is 2 birth years vs. single birth year. Sometimes kids that are on club teams that are younger birth year on town teams don't look quite as good when playing with and against older kids who may be a foot taller depending on growth spurts.
This is a good point re: two age years on town teams.
The issue is the depth of the roster and the quality of the competition. My kid also plays on a top town team and 100% of the kids also play club, but the drop off in ability from the top to bottom is more than what you'd find on a normal club team. Not sure which age group your kid is in, but at the squirt level, a good platinum team would go undefeated in the VHL top division with a 10-to-1 goal differential.
But I think for 95% of the kids out there, VHL is fine and provides extra ice time for a reasonable price. For the higher end players though, I'm not really sure what they get out of VHL besides playing with a few local friends for a little longer, but I suspect most will drop town after squirts.
He's a peewee but minor. So I think the person who mentioned the age difference was onto something. And I agree with the depth as well. I'm basically comparing 2011 club kids to 2010 top VHL teams (the vast majority of the kids on the top VHL teams seem to be 2010's). Could be very different if I was comparing 2010 platinum to VHL peewee. Something to look at for next year.

Also don't forget that many higher end club kids drop town after squirts, so the talent pool in the VHL thins out quite a bit as the kids get older. I would be very surprised if top VHL peewee teams can hang with even platinum 2010 teams. The top line may be fine but that third VHL line will be pretty weak. And this is true even for towns like Waltham that can field 5-7 teams per age group. It should theoretically provide more parity on their top team, but it doesn't. With every passing year there is just too much attrition at the top.
I've had kids play both. The real difference is at a higher level D-1 high school team a 'town only' kid rarely makes the team. Maybe one spectacular athlete or a 'friends & family' of the coach getting a rare shift in garbage time. It's kind of sad that a kid needs years of club hockey just to make the varsity town team but that's how it is now.
The best then are the high school coaches walking around like they've developed these kids when 95% of their development has come from their local club teams making coach's 1980's hockey at UNH or Vermont seem like Pond Hockey.
I can see why people think it's 'sad' but unfortunately this is what happens when everyone does it. It has just become the norm for kids to play club hockey and town hockey has taken a back seat.
Life used to be simpler but people come around and make it all more difficult. Look at real estate prices, look at traffic. It's all normal and just the way it is now.
If someone wants to play hockey most towns have that option. I'm not sure what the issue is? I think some people just want club hockey to go away but that won't happen.
Townie
Town hockey gets a bad rap, but all three of my kids played town (in addition to club) and loved it. Some great memories doing the Waterville and Lake Placid tournaments with our town teams. I say do both if you can, through squirts at least.
Basically, the only difference is cost. Town hockey, much more affordable and better bang for the buck. Club hockey is overpriced. Is club hockey better hockey, in some cases....yes but not in all cases. Bottom line is that 90% of the kids playing club hockey are no better than the town league players and won't play beyond high school. The sad thing is, no one will admit it.
One could say club hockey is overpriced but that hasn't stopped people from doing. Real estate is overpriced as well but that hasn't stopped people from buying here either.
'Bottom line is that 90% of the kids playing club hockey are no better than the town league players and won't play beyond high school. The sad thing is, no one will admit it.'
This is quite a statement as far as saying town players are no better than club players. Do you have proof of this? I see people say all the time how EHF players are better than E9 with nothing to back that up with either.
Is it really town hockey if it's all just club kids playing hockey?
At the younger ages there are some kids who do just town hockey. Just like some kids do just town soccer, town baseball, town lacrosse and so on. From what I can see once a kid decides they like hockey and they are good at it, that's where the pressure for club kicks in. There are also sooo many club hockey teams to choose from in MA that it's kind of easy. Not everyone's main sport will be hockey so those kids might just do town.
Seems like whatever the kids main sport is they need to do things beyond just town stuff. My son's friend loves lacrosse. He started out doing town lax now they've moved on to club. Same for soccer. some kids do just town hockey if hockey isn't their main sport.
Even town hockey seems to be a commitment which is why some people feel they might as well do club. With town hockey you still have to get up early, get the kids dressed and drive to awful places to the rinks. Someone told me they went to brockton for a town hockey game recently. If you have to drive all the way to Brockton from a place like Marshfield you might as well just sign up for club. Who wants to do that type of travel for a town sport?
Marshfield is 35 minutes from Brockton you a** wipe
Who the **** wants to go to Brockton for anything *** dumpster ?
My point is it says basically everyone playing town hockey plays for a club too. So it's basically club level hockey. There are town programs where if you play on a club team then you can't play in the town league. A kid who is just playing town most likely won't be able to be competitive with a club player. It's not to say the town player is bad, it's just hard to keep up with kids who are dedicating more time to a particular sport.
Right. My kid plays town soccer and baseball. No club for either of those sports. It's likely that as time goes on the kids playing club soccer and baseball might be better than him. Oh well. There's only so much time.
Again not all kids who play town hockey are playing club hockey. I would imagine it depends on the town too. A lower socioeconomic town might have kids just playing town hockey and no club...a town where people have more money will likely have kids playing town and club or even just club.
This is a good point. Maybe when I read people bagging on "town hockey" I should think of it more as "town hockey where most of the kids on the team only do town". I personally wouldn't - hockey is fun and even if you're not the next big thing there should still be a place for you to play. But at least it makes a bit more sense.
It probably is harder for the kids who play just town to get ahead if the majority of the town kids on the team are playing club. It seems stupid in a way. But this is what is happening. Loads of town kids play club as well. I think people should make a choice between the two- not do both.
I think the moral of the story here is that if everyone (my kid included) just played town hockey it would benefit all. The club owners who sell you the dream would disagree but for the normal people think about the money and time you would save. All while still being able to enjoy watching the little bender play. Albeit closer to home. It would also help out the real ELITE players having a more competitive schedule.
Again, I think it's like telling people living in the city of Boston to just use BPS. Yes, it probably would help the schools in the long run and the education would be ok but no one wants to take the chance. So...private school it is.
Honestly though do you really think town hockey would provide the same type of skills and development that club hockey does? I just don't think it would. Towns pay employees less than clubs. They have less money.
I also think there are too many club hockey teams in MA and the leagues/teams are not evenly distributed. It still comes down to geographic location as well. No one wants to drive that far for club hockey practice. The same teams seem to end up being good year after year. And the same teams end up being bad year after year.
So many people here say most kids don't go on to play D1 or college hockey so why do so many parents invest in this? I guess to see what might happen...to say they tried.
So for our town, we have 3 squirts teams. Every kid on squirts 1 plays club. Maybe half the kids on squirts 2 do, and I'm pretty sure none of the squirt 3's.
I don't know about other towns, but our town coaches do absolutely no coaching. I don't blame the parent coaches, but their primary commitment is to their kids' clubs, so the town program is just extra ice time for the kids. The skill levels also vary too much for the coaches to do anything - the kids on squirts 1 range all the way from fed elite to upper gold so it's very hard to teach skills or drills actually useful for all the kids.
One of the dad coaches in my town for kids my sons age is a surgeon... I'm sure he really has lots of time to be a coach.
A lot towns around me have Driscoll doing power skating and our town does that plus hires out a college coach to run their skills. I dont love the skills but considering a lot of club hockey parents hate their teams skills (me included) town (ours anyway) offers competitive options. that said Most of the kids that play Bantam now all play club and for those that dont you can see it in their play. My son got on the club train late (PeeWee minor) my daughter got into club as a Squirt Minor. She is learning things on the ice he didnt learn till he moved to club. Coaching matters more than anything.
Town coaches can be great but if their kid is good most likely they will move them to club and leave the coaching position in town to someone else. Its better hockey for the most part especially where most practices have 100% attendance. town practices are at best %50 full (my experience) and generally the non club kids are the ones attending because they do not have a club team to miss the practice for.
Town hockey is great if you can afford to play it and club hockey together. My son loves his club teammates but playing in tournaments with the kids he grew up learning to play with and go to school with is a far better experience. I understand why last year a group (possibly multiple) of kids bailed on their club team to parti****te in states with their town team. Winning a meaningless EHF playoff vs winning a state title with your best friends is an easy decision in my book.
The EHF keeps their playoffs on the same weekend as the Town State Tournament purposely, its actually ridiculous.
Again, I think it\'s like telling people living in the city of Boston to just use BPS. Yes, it probably would help the schools in the long run and the education would be ok but no one wants to take the chance. So...private school it is.
Honestly though do you really think town hockey would provide the same type of skills and development that club hockey does? I just don\'t think it would. Towns pay employees less than clubs. They have less money.

wow sounds like the EHF is a problem league for sure. What's up with them? Can't play states for your town? Can't play against E9 teams? **** them.
No. It is not. Stop kidding yourself.
What, exactly, am I kidding myself about? I've seen EHF platinum first hand (my kid skates on a very good tier 1 peewee minor team, but not elite) and I've seen the top tier VHL peewee games first hand. The top tier VHL teams could absolutely compete with the EHF peewee minor platinum teams. As someone brought up, it's not apples to apples because most of the top VHL peewee teams are 2010's, whereas peewee minor is 2011's. The one year age gap makes a huge difference at that age. And the vast majority of kids on the top VHL teams are also on high level club teams to begin with! I have no horse in this race. My kid does both. But I was curious to figure out why so many people thought town was bad hockey. I think I got my answers. Depth of the team lines makes a difference. Thinking about town hockey as more than just the highest levels.. I think this is the point where I'm supposed to say something like "sorry your kid got cut from a VHL AAA team".
there are plenty of EHF platinum teams that suck and probably are the same as some town hockey teams.
Simple - play town hockey first when you start out and get a ton of confidence. If/when you DOMINATE at that level, move to a higher level. Keep doing that until you can't dominate anymore and then you are at the correct level. Throwing a young kid not ready into the highest level first is a recipe for ruining him long term.
My kids played club through midgets and we tried town hockey a handful of times over the years. Every year and every organization was the same. Coaches kid sucked, as did the coach, but spent half the game on the ice. Half the coaches can't skate and have never played a game in their lives. It is exhausting to watch and honestly isn't worth the time and effort. The clicky parent groups and townie coaches will wear you down. If you want to know who is making the "A" team just read the board member list as it will be their kids. Just go play club and if for nothing else get the better ice time. Town hockey gets hosed on ice times at most rinks.
I wish town hockey worked as it is the way things should be but unfortunately it is broken beyond repair.
Correct. The disenchantment with Town Hockey really started to gain momentum on the south Shore about 2005-06. So many parents had it with the Townies destroying the experience by placing the wrong kids on the A-B-C teams. I remember asking one of the board member parents "why don't we have an outside judge decided who makes which team." His answer - "you don't get it, do you." and then all the private teams started popping up. The parents got involved and corrupted the thing and basically killed it. Now Town is basically rec hockey for kids who want to try it out before checking starts.
One reason I think people do club over town is town ice times are not good. Unless you like taking a 45 min drive at 5am for a 6:10 am sat game for your little 6 year old. People pay for the better ice time, has nothing to do with how much their kid stinks or doesn't stink. Getting up at 5am with a kid is pure hell the rest of the weekend. My kids are in HS now and we did the club and town thing for one year. The ice times made it easy to decide screw town hockey.
I feel like town hockey has been 'dead' for a while. People seem to do it on the side. What are people upset about?
If your kid likes hockey, and you want them to play on even a decent high school team you need to get them into club. The sooner the better. Some of the decent D3 and D4 teams are all club kids never mind D1. This is the same for most other high school sports like soccer, basketball, baseball, lax, etc. The only sports left for kids who play strictly town to make varsity are football and track. Everything else is all Club kids. Maybe it's not fair but it's the way it is.
The biggest difference between kids who never play club vs. those that do, is generally speaking, the kids that have never played club (and are decent players), never reached a level in town where they can't skate around the other team.
This creates a massive problem for them when they get older and transition into late middle-school and into High School, the ice gets smaller, and creating time and space becomes more difficult.
They can't make that transition because they've never had to.
Club hockey when appropriately placed, teaches your player how to create time and space, essentially the most important piece of playing hockey.
Now, add to that the potential of more ice and better run practices, you can see why the spread grows between a player playing it vs. not playing it.
I will say there are many clubs around that are no better than town by way of overall talent. But at the end of the day if you add a good practice to a kid who loves it, they'll develop.

Fixture (tool)
A common type of fixture, used in materials tensile testing
A fixture is a work-holding or support device used in the manufacturing industry.[1][2] Fixtures are used to securely locate (position in a specific location or orientation) and support the work, ensuring that all parts produced using the fixture will maintain conformity and interchangeability. Using a fixture improves the economy of production by allowing smooth operation and quick transition from part to part, reducing the requirement for skilled labor by simplifying how workpieces are mounted, and increasing conformity across a production run.[2]
A fixture differs from a jig in that when a fixture is used, the tool must move relative to the workpiece; a jig moves the piece while the tool remains stationary.[3]
3 Types of fixtures
3.1 Milling fixtures
3.2 Drilling fixtures
Purpose[edit]
A fixture's primary purpose is to create a secure mounting point for a workpiece, allowing for support during operation and increased accuracy, precision, reliability, and interchangeability in the finished parts. It also serves to reduce working time by allowing quick set-up, and by smoothing the transition from part to part.[3] It frequently reduces the complexity of a process, allowing for unskilled workers to perform it and effectively transferring the skill of the tool maker to the unskilled worker.[2] Fixtures also allow for a higher degree of operator safety by reducing the concentration and effort required to hold a piece steady.[3]
Economically speaking the most valuable function of a fixture is to reduce labor costs. Without a fixture, operating a machine or process may require two or more operators; using a fixture can eliminate one of the operators by securing the workpiece.[4]
These modular fixture components may be built into various arrangements to accommodate different workpieces
Fixtures should be designed with economics in mind; the purpose of these devices is often to reduce costs, and so they should be designed in such a way that the cost reduction outweighs the cost of implementing the fixture. It is usually better, from an economic standpoint, for a fixture to result in a small cost reduction for a process in constant use, than for a large cost reduction for a process used only occasionally.[4]
Most fixtures have a solid component, affixed to the floor or to the body of the machine and considered immovable relative to the motion of the machining bit, and one or more movable components known as clamps. These clamps (which may be operated by many different mechanical means) allow workpieces to be easily placed in the machine or removed, and yet stay secure during operation. Many are also adjustable, allowing for workpieces of different sizes to be used for different operations. Fixtures must be designed such that the pressure or motion of the machining operation (usually known as the feed) is directed primarily against the solid component of the fixture. This reduces the likelihood that the fixture will fail, interrupting the operation and potentially causing damage to infrastructure, components, or operators.[5]
Fixtures may also be designed for very general or simple uses. These multi-use fixtures tend to be very simple themselves, often relying on the precision and ingenuity of the operator, as well as surfaces and components already present in the workshop, to provide the same benefits of a specially-designed fixture. Examples include workshop vises, adjustable clamps, and improvised devices such as weights and furniture.
Each component of a fixture is designed for one of two purposes: location or support.
Location[edit]
Locating components ensure the geometrical stability of the workpiece. They make sure that the workpiece rests in the correct position and orientation for the operation by addressing and impeding all the degrees of freedom the workpiece possesses.[6]
For locating workpieces, fixtures employ pins (or buttons), clamps, and surfaces. These components ensure that the workpiece is positioned correctly, and remains in the same position throughout the operation. Surfaces provide support for the piece, pins allow for precise location at low surface area expense, and clamps allow for the workpiece to be removed or its position adjusted. Locating pieces tend to be designed and built to very tight specifications.[7]
Support[edit]
In designing the locating parts of a fixture, only the direction of forces applied by the operation are considered, and not their magnitude. Locating parts technically support the workpiece, but do not take into account the strength of forces applied by the process and so are usually inadequate to actually secure the workpiece during operation. For this purpose, support components are used.[8]
To secure workpieces and prevent motion during operation, support components primarily use two techniques: positive stops and friction. A positive stop is any immovable component (such as a solid surface or pin) that, by its placement, physically impedes the motion of the workpiece. Support components are more likely to be adjustable than locating components, and normally do not press tightly on the workpiece or provide absolute location.[9]
Support components usually bear the brunt of the forces delivered during the operation. To reduce the chances of failure, support components are usually not also designed as clamps.
Types of fixtures[edit]
Fixtures are usually classified according to the machine for which they were designed. The most common two are milling fixtures and drill fixtures.[10]
Milling fixtures[edit]
See also: Milling machine
Milling operations tend to involve large, straight cuts that produce lots of chips and involve varying force. Locating and supporting areas must usually be large and very sturdy in order to accommodate milling operations; strong clamps are also a requirement. Due to the vibration of the machine, positive stops are preferred over friction for securing the workpiece. For high-volume automated processes, milling fixtures usually involve hydraulic or pneumatic clamps.[11][12]
Drilling fixtures[edit]
See also: Drill
Drilling fixtures cover a wider range of different designs and procedures than milling fixtures. Though workholding for drills is more often provided by jigs, fixtures are also used for drilling operations.
Two common elements of drilling fixtures are the hole and bushing. Holes are often designed into drilling fixtures, to allow space for the drill bit itself to continue through the workpiece without damaging the fixture or drill, or to guide the drill bit to the appropriate point on the workpiece. Bushings are simple bearing sleeves inserted into these holes to protect them and guide the drill bit.[13]
Because drills tend to apply force in only one direction, support components for drilling fixtures may be simpler. If the drill is aligned pointing down, the same support components may compensate for the forces of both the drill and gravity at once. However, though monodirectional, the force applied by drills tends to be concentrated on a very small area. Drilling fixtures must be designed carefully to prevent the workpiece from bending under the force of the drill.[14]

Goodness it's cold. If you're in the UK, you won't thank me for stating the bleeding obvious. If you are in Australia or New Zealand supping a glass of chilled chardy by the pool, spare a thought for us poor Poms freezing our extremities off this week.
So far our seaside garden has escaped frost, despite potholes in the road outside our gate being thick with ice. Zingiber zerumbet 'Variegata' (pinecone ginger) remains completely unscathed and we have carpets of Geranium maderense seedings appearing everywhere. Microclimates are extraordinary, inexplicable, precious things: I give regular thanks for the one that protects my precious plants.
Although I will in the garden tomorrow come hell or high water, it was too bitter to contemplate working outside today. Instead I've been leafing through the Broadleigh Gardens catalogue putting asterisks by a host of amarines, nerines and amaryllis I fancy for the garden next year. Amaryllis 'Hathor', a variety with heavenly white flowers, is top of my wish list.
Meanwhile I am contemplating the patchwork of yellow bricks that make up the facade of our new house, considering how to disguise it. I am almost settled on the idea of training a large specimen of Magnolia grandiflora 'Exmouth' up the wall between the two ground floor windows. I have been in love with this stately American tree since I was at the University of Reading's Wantage Hall, where two magnificent specimens flank either side of the quadrangle. I won't be able to offer my own magnolia the same free reign, but I hope that, one day, I will marvel at its leathery leaves, plate-sized flowers and incomparable fragrance through the library windows.
Hello from New Zealand, whilst we have the warmth sadly we have strong winds and plenty of rain for this our summer. Dahlias flowering exceptionally well.
Enjoy your day. Cheers Rodja..
That's an excellent tip, thank you. Amaryllis are very borderline here in England, as you can imagine. I am hoping I can get away with them here by the coast, in a warm dry spot. I'll be sure to let you know what varieties I choose in the end.
Goodness no! It's rampant in our garden 'next door'. It has gone up a wall and is now half way across the neighbour's garage roof. Cold has never troubled it thankfully. However, I feel we need something a bit different for the new garden that will make the most of the southwesterly aspect. It's always exciting planning for a new space!
Really…haven't seen it take off like that here in Vancouver…Egads, can see why you'd want to avoid it there…Yes, the planning is really an enjoyable part of the process for sure…Your magnolia idea is an intriguing one..Hope you'll post some photos of what you decide upon..
I certainly will! Actually, Magnolia grandiflora is almost always grown against a wall here in the U.K. This must be a historic hangover from the days when it was considered very tender. Nowadays we don't really get the big freezes that would have killed an exposed tree. I am trying to decide between 'Galissoniere' and 'Exmouth' – one French, one English.
Are you wanting to be quite central? Would you consider something like a Premier Inn as there are lots of new ones in London and they are clean and inexpensive. I'm also a fan of Citizen M hotels: https://www.citizenm.com/destinations/london/tower-of-london-hotel. Let me know and I will have a think.
Love the idea of espaliering the magnolia Dan. It is something I had not considered before. Magnolias are very popular here in Australia, especially the 'dwarf' cultivars like 'Little Gem', 'Teddy Bear' and 'Kay Paris' but I have not seen one used as an espalier.
In my garden I have espaliered a a potted fruiting fig. Its roots are contained in a 'self watering' 40cm pot so they can not escape and damage the foundations. I don't think there is much root space now left in the pot so I may have to remove it and root prune before returning it to the pot. It is not a task I relish. The plant is currently in fruit (it is 4 years old) and bears twice a year despite the harsh conditions. I believe we will see more plants trained like this as gardens where I live in Perth, Australia are getting smaller.
Just a wee note from Queenstown, NZ. Too cold to drink Chardonnay here this summer so we've reverted to Pinot Noir. Top temp today about 12, with wind chill down to about 9. Worst summer I can ever remember! Now crossing our fingers for a warm February.
Stay warm out there Dan!
Be sure to get him indoors to prepare you a nice warm drink or something stronger for when you've finished!
And a limoncello chaser perhaps?
You can keep that weather. Its been a weird summer here with more rain than we have had for many years so my water bill should not be too horrendous. 35 today and then low 20's for the rest of week. C that is not F! I am sure you will use the time most wisely if stranded indoors with all those catalogues.
I'm in Mississippi and the first magnolias of the year are in bloom. It's their state tree or flower – I forget which. We've had snow and six inch long icicles. Yesterday we escaped golf ball sized hailstorms by a few miles and my phone beeped with a tornado warning. Between the two we've had days where it reached 80 degrees and I have no doubt it will be back around there before long. Plants that can withstand such quick 50 degree overnight changes seem miraculous to me, so I think the magnolia is an excellent idea.
Goodness! Extreme weather indeed! You must also need a very diverse wardrobe to cope with that lot, including an armoured vest for the hail stones. Sounds like an exciting trip?
You would think so, but they wisely tend not to go out in extreme weather – even the cars seek shelter from the large hail. Then within hours it might be back to the serenest of blue skies again. It was surprisingly warm during the hailstorm.
It is an interesting place. Herbaceous plants suffer here – things we imagine are bullet proof in the UK just vanish during the summer – but many flowering shrubs, vines and trees are in their element.
Yes, bloody cold here. Brrrrr. What an amazing idea to train a magnolia up a wall! We had to remove all our vines and climbers to enable the outside of our house to be repaired (usual boring stiff: repointing, plastering, painting) a couple of summers ago, and we haven't really thought of what to replace any of it with.
Sounds like spring might be the time to replant Val. I am shortlisting clematis for our side fence and a passionflower for the garden room. It's all about climbers for me at the moment!
Clematis are lovely, we've always grown many varieties both here in Wales and before, in London. Ours, though, have to make do with scaling a fence at the moment! And yes, Spring is the time to planet. Brass monkeys here, hate to think what you're experiencing there, temperature-wise.
I am guessing clematis love the Welsh climate? Both London and Broadstairs are a bit on the dry side and mildew can take quickly take hold in summer.
I read last year that there is now a more dwarf variety of that magnolia. I have been toying with planting one on the front of our house.
Yes, I think 'Southern Charm' / 'Teddy Bear' and 'Little Gem' are both smaller cultivars.
Are you set on a magnolia? I mean, if you always wanted one, then there's no point arguing and you should go for it, of course. But personally I think they only look good on big manor-like houses where the leaves (and far too occasional flowers) don't look out of proportion. I must also confess I don't like them trained to a wall very much.
Myself, I really like roses trained to walls (the old-fashioned cottagey way) but imagine with your exotic garden that wouldn't work very well. But would you consider experimenting with some exotic climber, like Podranea – you know, global warming, microclimate and all that? Perhaps in time its "legs" would be too "naked" for the purpose, but still.
I also rather like ornamental quince trained on a wall with the flower colour matched – or contrasting – to the latter, but assume in your case it is too boring for such a prominent spot for much of the year? Ceanothus might be better.
In my head, I imagine I do have a big manor house, but I also love big leaves. I started off with the idea of training a quince, so that's still an option I am entertaining. I'm just not sure it will be showy enough. Podranea I love from my last visit to Marrakech, but I might try that in the garden room before I risk it outside. And roses, they are bone of contention between Him Indoors and I. I would like more, but he's not keen. We have Rosa banksiae on the other side of the house and, whilst it's glorious in bloom, it's quite boring (and bare) for the rest of the year.
Decisions decisions! I'll let you know what I decide. Thanks for your advice.
Despite what I wrote above, I'm with you re the love of big leaves – the junglier the better for me. Let Trump et al have their way a few years and Monstera deliciosa might become a realistic option ;-).
