The purpose of this article is to set forth in detail how butter-tubs are made. Some think our work is an everyday picnic; others think it is exceedingly hard. Read, draw your own conclusions.
The stock for making the tubs is shipped to the Prison shops by rail; including staves, hoops, and stock for bottoms and tops. All this material is black-ash. The cars are tracked to west door of factory. Here is where the labor of the prisoners begins.
Our old friend 3333 is the boss man at start and finish. He loads or unloads or engineers the unloading of stock and the loading of the finished product at the same door. This stock is stored in north room of factory. The dimensions of this room are 40 X 70 feet.
A man who runs a small planer wheels the staves from the storeroom into the factory. The first machine is a planer. This is at the extreme northwest corner of the shop. It planes the inside of the staves. As the staves pass through the planer they go about ten feet, where they are received by a man who runs a saw, or rather three saws upon a parallel shaft, the saws set just the distance apart necessary to cut long staves exactly in the center, and also cut enough off both ends to square and make each stave the required length.
There are two lengths of staves in the rough. One length makes two staves, the other, one. The man at this saw cuts 15,000 staves for the making of 1,000 tubs - about the ordinary ten hours' work. He cuts twelve staves at a time when cutting long staves, and six staves when cutting short ones. In making 1,000 tubs, using one-fourth short staves, this man makes 9,475 trips represent about ten miles of walking, or more properly speaking, hop-skip-and-jumps. This number of staves weighs approximately four tons. Thus it will appear that this man must carry four tons ten miles each day, besides the work of sawing.
After having sawed the staves, the planer-man places them upon a bench in stacks two feet high. These stacks are built crib fashion so each stave is held in the proper position for the next man to handle. This bunch is about eight feet long and extends to the next machine, called a jointer. As the piles disappear by the man at the jointer taking them away, the man at the saw pushes them along and builds another crib. At this jointer the edges are planed smooth and true so that they match snugly together. This jointer-work is extremely fast work, as the man can handle but two staves at a time. This man practically controls the work of the entire shop, his work is so very particular, and when he is sick or laid off for a day or two it is impossible to fill his place as it takes time to become accustomed to the movement necessary to do this work properly.
As the man at the jointer joints the staves he tosses them into a receptacle at his left, to a man who matches the pieces to make a tub. Each tub takes about fifteen staves, sometimes more, sometimes less, according to width of staves. This again is quick work. The matching is done by laying the staves flat one against the other in a semi-circle. When enough staves are in place to form a tub there is generally some over on the last stave, which, by means of a saw hung on an oscillating bracket, is cut off, thereby securing the exact width of stave for a tub. This man is between two men, the one tossing them to him, the other taking them away as fast as he can get them. It keeps him hustling. He, however, does no walking, but must turn around for each tub. Between him and the next man is but a few feet, probably five. In this place stands a rack resembling the letter-boxes in a country postoffice minus the glass. Into this rack the staves are placed form one side and taken out by another man form the other. The man that takes the staves out of the rack sets them up without the bottom, top, and hoops. His machine is called a 'former.' It consists in part of a large casting in the shape of a tub. Inside the casting are two projections upon which is laid iron hoops about half an inch in thickness, and very strong. One of these hoops is placed near the top of the tub, the other near the middle. Inside these rings the staves are set as they are to appear in the finished tub. The man who does this part of the work then presses a lever with is foot and part of the machine falls with considerable force upon the top of the tub and drives it firmly into the iron rings where it remains intact. He next takes the tub from the machine and places it into what is called the oven.
The 'oven' is about thirty feet in length built of brick, and is heated by steam. It will hold twenty-eight tubs. Inside the oven is a mechanism which carries the tubs south, the length of the oven. While in transit form one end to the other the tub becomes shrunk tight by the action of the heat upon the wood. When the tub arrives at the south end of the oven, a stout, tough, hardy man is needed, and here is where he is to be found when wanted. "Bobby,' the colored man, he who is so handy with the gloves on holidays, and is so well and favorably known to readers of The Press as the colored boy who "just picked singin' up." picks the tubs up and places them into the most powerful machine in the shop, called a press. Here they are pressed so the ends of staves are even. From the press the tub goes to a machine which finishes the truing-up process, and shaping. Next, to the man who cuts the groove to hold the bottom in and smooths and bevels the top, in the way of finish. 'Bobby' thus handles the tubs three separate times, and as they now have the iron rings upon them the weight is doubled, or about eight tons a 1,000 tubs.
After the man who cuts the groove for the bottom comes the man who puts the bottoms in. The next man runs a sanderbelt and sands the tubs outside. This man then places the tubs upon a runway twenty feet long and inclined to the hoopers, who are in the southeast corner of the shop. As the tub started at the northwest corner of the shop it will be seen it has now traveled just half-way around the room.
The bottoms and tops are carted into the shop by a man who delivers the stock to another man at another jointer similar to the one used in jointing staves. This is very quick work, as the man must handle six to eight thousand pieces separately. He picks up the board with his left hand - board being about eighteen inches in length- he joints one edge, transfers it to the other hand and joints the other edge. In transferring the board he turns it over so he is able to see both sides and can tell if it has flaws on either side unfitting it for use. He then tosses it into a box at his right where it is in reach of another man who, on another machine, makes a groove in one edge and a tongue on the other. Here the boards are taken by two men who glue them together, making nearly square boards out of them. Aside from occasionally gluing an eye shut or filing an ear or sticking fingers, and hair together, etc, Shorty says 'tis not bad work. In this shape these boards stand over night to let the glue set well, then they are planed. They then pass on to saws where they are sawed into bottoms and tops. The tops must be conveyed to a different part of the shop, where hoops are tacked around their edges, which finishes them.
We left the tubs upon the incline, going to the hoopers of which there are five. These men place the hoops upon the tubs, stack them in a bunch, and their work is done. The hoopers must work very fast to keep up their end of the work and not hinder the rest of the men. This is true of nearly very man in the shop.
Now comes along the man who carries the tubs away. He shoulders ten tubs at a time and carries them back into the storeroom form which, but a few minutes previous, the raw material was taken. For each ten tubs this man must walk two hundred feet, and as each tub weighs about ten pounds, he carries one hundred pounds each trip, or for 1,000 tubs about five miles each day that 1,000 tubs are made. Add to this the weight of the iron rings, which are knocked off at the different stations of the journey the tub makes and which this man must return to their starting point, and he has carried anther five tons about three miles. No boy need apply.
The task is 75 tubs and hour, or one and one-fourth tubs a minute. To make 1,000 tubs in ten hours there must be one hundred every hour, or one and two-thirds tubs a minute. At times, and for but a very few minutes at a time, the rate of 150 tubs an hour is attained; it cannot last long; like all fast things, it is the pace that kills.
Of course, here as elsewhere, men have their peculiarities. Some days one wants to work fast, and on other days, for reasons best known to themselves, work slow. As may be seen, any man from start to finish can hinder the output materially by not keeping up his part of the work; he may not feel well; hands sore, or something is wrong; in fact, just as it would be in the same kind of work outside. "Holding back," however, seldom occurs, as the officer in charge is very patient and generally manages to keep us in fairly good humor, thereby causing us to forget much, and keep at the work. Then, too, the overtime has its effect.
Two months ago we were making about seven or eight hundred tubs a day. At present, as stated, the output is in the neighborhood of 1,000 tubs a day, sometimes a few more, sometimes a few less. The biggest output of which we have any knowledge or can learn of for one day in the new shop was on Thursday, April 28, when 1,084 tubs were made and delivered to the man who inspects them before they are shipped. Each tub is subject to a very careful inspection, and the least flaw is remedied.

Canadian house price rise outstrips all but 3 other global markets
The year-over-year rise in the price of Canada's housing in the second quarter of 2015 is one of the highest in the developed world, largely because of low interest rates, according to a report from Scotiabank.
Australia faces similar talk about housing bubbles, while Ireland recovers from a 5-year slide

At 8.3 per cent, it lags markets such as Ireland (13.3 per cent) or Sweden (10.1 per cent), but is well ahead of the U.S. (5.4 per cent) or U.K. (5.6 per cent).
Toronto, Vancouver housing affordability deteriorates to 'risky' levels: RBC
House prices may stay high in Canada: Here's why
The low Canadian dollar is increasing foreign demand for Canadian real estate, especially luxury real estate, said economist Adrienne Warren.
"Traditionally, popular markets for foreign buyers include the U.S., the U.K., Australia and Canada," Warren said in a report on global property trends.
Low dollar makes Canadian housing cheap
"Foreign exchange considerations are taking on a bigger role, increasing the attractiveness of properties in countries whose currencies have weakened at the expense of relatively stronger currency markets in the U.S. and the U.K."
Foreign buyers driving demand for luxury homes, Sotheby's says
UBC housing expert wants more oversight on foreign real estate investment
Australia and Canada are among the countries that have seen a weakening currency and an escalation of housing prices this year, especially in big urban markets such as Sydney and Melbourne.
Australian prices are up 8.3 per cent on the year, putting Canada in fourth place among the world's hottest markets.
Sydney now has the same affordability crisis that Vancouver is experiencing, with the median house price over $1 million Australian. With wealthy Chinese buyers finding property cheap, even after the devaluation of the yuan, there is continuing potential for prices to be pushed upward, especially luxury prices.
Australia's housing bubble
At the same time, there is talk of a housing bubble, with Goldman Sachs estimated Sydney prices are overvalued by 20 per cent.
Sound familiar? Talk of a housing bubble persists in Toronto and Vancouver, with even the Bank of Canada noting prices may be too high.
Warren doesn't believe it's foreign buyers who are driving up prices, but rather Canadians who are chasing after a limited supply, especially of single-family homes.
"The housing market in Canada has held up stronger than most of us expected over the past year, but then you have to keep in mind it's primarily because of the hot Vancouver and Toronto market that's driving up prices," she told CBC News.
"People want to live closer to where the jobs are and they don't want to take on long commutes."
Canadian housing demand has defied general weakness in the economy, in part because of low interest rates, she said, but the market is very uneven from city to city.
Ireland on a tear
Among the other countries with higher house price inflation than Canada, Ireland is an interesting example.
Its housing prices were soaring in 2007 when the financial crisis left Ireland debt-burdened and near bankruptcy. But the Celtic Tiger seemed to have recovered its moxy in 2013, when it exited a bailout program, and has been growing ever since.
The housing market plunged from 2007 to 2012, but began rising in 2013-14, with a sharper increase in the past year.

Color me floored on an otherwise beautiful Wednesday morning.
Everyone and their mamas knew that not only Kawhi Leonard wanted out of San Antonio, he wanted to be in Los Angeles – preferably a Laker. He made that abundantly clear from the jump.
And given that Kawhi will be a free agent after this season, teams were rightfully hesitant to send a big package to the Spurs in what would most likely be a one-year rental. Hell, even the Lakers were not gonna do so because after all, they KNEW he wants to be a Laker – even if both sides have to wait a year.
But, as the two popular sayings go, "a fool is born every minute", and "all it takes is one". Enter the Toronto Raptors.
Look, I understand a team wanting to make one big run to a title. And I also understand one wanting to "shoot his shot", if you will. But seeing the Raptors trading for Kawhi, especially after he made it clear that he didn't want to go to Canada, is beyond foolhardy.
I mean look at what Toronto had to give up: DeMar DeRozan (and if you saw his Instagram post, you'd know how pissed he is right now), Jakob Poeltl, and a protected 2019 1st round pick. That's a whole helluva lot for a dude who might not want to stick around after this coming season.
Besides, the Raptors' chief nemesis/tormentor LeBron James just signed out of conference. Why not take their chances in a now wide open Eastern Conference? Last I checked, the Raptors won 59 games and finished atop of the East last season, so it's not like they sucked.
This is just another in a series of bad moves the Raptors have been making since being swept out of the playoffs.
First, they fired their successful head coach Dwayne Casey. Now they are about to guy their squad for a glorified one-year rental.
Great. See your asses in the lottery after Kawhi leaves, Toronto.
As for the Spurs, this was BRILLIANT on their part.
General manager RC Buford (how's THAT for a top executive's name?) and coach Gregg Popovich found their suckers, pulling in an impressive haul for a disgruntled star who wanted out. And considering they were behind the 8-ball from the jump, the Spurs did pretty well.
You have to look at the landscape.
This was post-draft and mid-free agency. LeBron leaving the Cavs emboldened Philly and Boston to stay pat, unless they were blown away by Spurs. The Lakers weren't going to sell the farm after landing James. And most of all, Spurs were not going to help Leonard win a chip.

Russian inventor designs caskets outfitted with alarm buttons for those buried alive by mistake
Society » Sex, relationship
A person opens his eyes and can not understand where the hell he is. A bloodcurdling surmise finally crosses his mind. He realizes he has been buried alive and now he is lying in a casket some six feet under. It is well-known that stories like that normally have no happy ending. Scientific books contain a number of cases involving living persons buried by mistake. A person may be buried alive while sleeping in lethargy.
Vitaly Malyukov, author of numerous inventions, honored inventor of the USSR, decided to improve the situation after conducting a detailed study of the problem. His invention includes a circular device (containing special membranes) which is mounted in a casket. Should a person recover consciousness, he will spot it right away because the device will be glowing red. A person buried alive will have to press that "alarm button" to raise the alarm at a control panel in the office of a cemetery caretaker. The alarm is designed to show which grave have signs of life, so to speak.
It looks so simple yet nobody has come up with anything similar to Mr. Malyukov's invention. People used to put cell phones in the coffins. And those telephones sometimes rang underground. But the ringing was from the incoming calls made by those who did not know that the subscriber had been dead. Mr. Malyukov has his doubts that a person stuck in the casket will be able to grab a cell phone and use it properly. "Now all you have to do is touch the alarm button and wait a few minutes," says he.
Mr. Malyukov does not reveal all the details pertaining to the "alarm system from the other side." He says he is going to sell it to the Japanese and make a lot of money when he finally goes broke.

Whistleblower Digital Version - April 2021
About this month's issue: WHISTLEBLOWER – April 2021
BIDEN'S WAR ON THE MILITARY: How America's 'woke' rulers are subverting the world's best and noblest fighting force
Of all the institutions of the federal government that leftwing elites have infiltrated and corrupted – from public education to the judiciary to, most recently, the Justice Department, FBI and intelligence agencies – one all-important organization has remained relatively unscathed: The United States military. But that is in danger of radically changing under the Biden administration.
In just the brief period since Joe Biden's January inauguration, his administration's radical expansion of perverse Obama-era initiatives is resulting in what amounts to an assault on the American military's readiness to fight wars and defeat enemies. All in the name of social justice, equity, anti-racism, radical diversity, inclusion, transgender rights, and of course, rooting out legions of "racists" and "white supremacists" that supposedly inhabit the armed forces of the United States.
Consider some of the bizarre and transformative policies the Biden administration has already set in motion:
* Transgendered people – whose condition was seen as a serious mental illness from the dawn of psychiatry until 2013, when the powerful LGBT lobby pressured the American Psychiatric Association to "de-pathologize" it – appear to constitute the one group Biden is most committed to recruiting into the armed forces. In his Jan. 25 executive order, Biden mandates not only "permitting transgender individuals to serve openly in the military," thereby overturning Trump's 2017 ban, but also requiring the military to pay the entire cost of transgender soldiers' "surgical transition," which normally ranges from $100,000 to $200,000. This has led some – including Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr, who commanded Army forces in Iraq – to voice concern that transgenders might now join the military for the express purpose of obtaining taxpayer-funded "gender reassignment surgery."
* In March, Team Biden hired Richard Torres-Estrada to head the U.S. Special Operations Command's "office of diversity and inclusion." SOCOM oversees the Army Rangers, Navy SEALs and all other Special Operations components of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps that lead America's counterterrorism and unconventional warfare operations. What exactly qualified Torres-Estrada – whose most recent job was as an equal employment opportunity officer for the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority – to occupy an important position over America's most elite fighting forces?
It turns out that in June 2020 Torres-Estrada explicitly compared President Donald J. Trump to Adolf Hitler, posting on Facebook side-by-side photos of America's 45th president and history's most reviled genocidal monster, each holding a Bible.
In response to widespread outrage that someone with the views of Torres-Estrada was being put in charge of hiring Navy SEALs – indeed, that an "office of diversity and inclusion" was even created in the first place for America's Special Ops forces – Torres-Estrada was "reassigned" to other duties while his background and qualifications are investigated.
* After Biden's new Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin insisted during his confirmation hearing that the United States military must rid itself of "racists and extremists" in its ranks, the nation's first black Defense secretary ordered an unprecedented "60-day service-wide stand down" – a pause in military activity in all services – to root out "white supremacism" and "extremism." The Pentagon has released no data to support Austin's contention that the military is overrun with racists and white supremacists.
* Instead of deploying troops to America's southern border, as Trump did, to prevent an all-out invasion of the nation – albeit one encouraged and invited by the Biden administration – the Democrats who run the federal government have instead deployed thousands of armed National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to protect members of Congress from imaginary threats from supposed legions of pro-Trump "violent extremists" and "insurrectionists."
That just for starters. The whole inside story of the Biden administration's attempted transformation of America's armed forces is laid out in the April issue of WND's acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "BIDEN'S WAR ON THE MILITARY: How America's 'woke' rulers are subverting the world's best and noblest fighting force."
Highlights of "BIDEN'S WAR ON THE MILITARY" include:
"The many ways Team Biden is harming America's military" by David Kupelian
"New Defense chief orders stand-down to rid ranks of 'racists and extremists'" by Art Moore
"Newly uncovered documents show Pentagon's plan targeting conservatives" by Bob Unruh
"Defense Dept. hired 'diversity and inclusion' chief who compared Trump to Hitler" by Chuck Ross
"Ted Cruz blasts Biden's defense secretary over 'public attacks' on Tucker Carlson" by Bob Unruh
"Over a dozen soldiers at the Capitol get sick after being given tainted food" by Kaylee Greenlee
"Biden executive order provides taxpayer-funded gender-transition surgeries for U.S. military" by Jack Davis
"Army chaplain probed for saying transgenders are 'unqualified to serve'" by Art Moore
"Biden's Mach 2 madness: Why forcing 'wokeness' on the U.S. military will bring death, destruction and defeat" by Lloyd Billingsley
"Wokeifying America's military: The Biden administration is undermining the U.S. armed forces' primary mission" by Ben Shapiro
"Capitol security review ordered by Pelosi points to long-term military presence"
"China expert Gordon Chang: Biden approves financing Beijing's military" by Bob Unruh
"Is Biden reenlisting in the forever wars?" by Patrick J. Buchanan
"Biden blames veterans and ex-cops for spurring 'growth' of white supremacy" by Jack Davis
"Senate Democrat: 'Nobody can serve God and the military'"
"Former Medal of Honor Society president: Trump epitomized American exceptionalism" by Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady
"Gen. Michael Flynn: 5 lessons I learned when the Deep State came after me and my family" by Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
"There is something uniquely repugnant," said Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian, "about these and other assaults on America's armed forces from the Biden administration."
Explains Kupelian: "The military is unlike any other institution of government in that it involves the transcendent dimension of its participants' willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice. Indeed, the courage, the discipline, the dangers of wartime, the implicit demand that one be willing to lay down one's life, as well as the concurrent sacrifices required of families separated for months or years from deployed loved ones, set the military apart from other forms of government service. Likewise, on the macro level, there is the absolute necessity of building and maintaining a military second to none in an extremely dangerous world with many powerful and malevolent nation states and terror organizations.
"All this makes the Biden administration's ideologically driven policies undermining the readiness, cohesion and morale of America's armed forces uniquely repugnant and dangerous – not to mention evil."

My brush with the PMO: Part 2
Anil Swarup
As I mention in my book, "Not Just A Civil Servant", the real coal story wasn't about the successful coal block auctions. It was about the record increase in coal production. In 2014, there were on an average more than 25 power plants that were declared critical daily for want of coal. This changed dramatically in subsequent years as the coal production rose by 33 million tonnes (which was more than the cumulative increase during the past 4 years) during 2014-15 and further by 44 million tonnes during 2015-16. By 2016, there was not a single power plat critical on account of shortage of coal. We were even toying with the idea of exporting coal to Bangladesh. This increase in production created another set of problems.
There were a select few "privileged" power producers who now wanted to make a "fast buck". These generating companies had bid for tariff and they were supposed to make arrangement for coal themselves. Coal India Limited (CIL) was obliged to supply coal at the notified price (a price below the market price as this was adjusted in the tariff. The benefit of lower price was not retained by the generation company but passed on to the state-owned distribution companies) only to such power generating companies with whom they had prior agreement. There was no obligation to supply coal at notified price to these "privileged" few. These "privileged" power producers had succeeded in getting a special dispensation for themselves during the UPA regime when there was acute shortage of coal. Ironically the Comptroller and Accountant General who had gone to town with the irregularities relating to coal block auctions chose to remain silent on an equally scandalous dispensation being given to sect set of industrialists.
By 2016 coal production had increased substantially. In almost every meeting convened by the PMO whether relating to coal or otherwise, I was asked why was I not giving linkages to these "privileged" industrialists. Ultimately, I sent a note to the Principal Secretary raising following issues:
Should CIL coal be supplied at notified price to such entities?
Would not the benefits of concessionally priced domestic coal lead to undue gains for them as the Power Purchase Agreements were not signed on the basis of assurance/commitment of notified price coal?
Wouldn't allotment of linkages to these tantamount to grant of undue favour or preferential treatment when there is no legal or contractual obligation to supply notified price coal to these plants?
Would this not amount to favour to the successful bidders (in PPA bidding) as bid conditions would be changed after the bidding process?
Would not assignment of linkages to such entities that did not bid in coal block auctions or did not win a coal block after bidding amount to gross disfavour to those that participated and won coal blocks in auction?
In subsequent meeting at the PMO when the issue came up for discussion yet again and I referred to the note that I had sent, I was given a dressing down that the PMO doesn't take decisions. How true it was! Yes, we were told very clearly that PMO should not be mentioned in any decision that is taken by the Ministry/Department. Lessons were learnt from the mistakes of the previous government.
However, I stuck to my guns. And, I was moved from dark dungeons of coal mines to the bright lights of school education. Or, so I thought.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
My visits to the PMO became few and far between as it was evident that school education was not high on the priority of the Government. The budgetary allocation for school education had kept coming down since 2014-15. It was Rs 55,115 crore for that year and as a percentage of GDP it was 0.52. For the year 2016-17, it came down to Rs 43,554 crore (0.36% of GDP). In one of the rare school education meetings at the PMO when I brought this to the notice of the participants, normally unflappable Mr P K Mishra got very annoyed. He appeared to be convinced that I was not providing the correct figures. There were indeed many occasions when those at the PMO were not prepared to face facts. I wondered how would they then convey facts to the PM.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It happened just three months before superannuation. There were a couple of paper leaks in the examination being conducted by the Central Board od Secondary Education (CBSE). The media was baying for Anita Karwal's blood. She was Chairperson, CBSE. As she had chosen to set things in order in CBSE, a set of mafias were after her. (The entire story is narrated in "Not Just a Civil Servant"). After ascertaining the details, I was convinced that neither she nor the CBSE was to be faulted. It took some effort to convince the Minister who initially wanted to shift Anita to "diffuse" the crisis. Despite being convinced subsequently, he still wanted to take the PMO into confidence (A culture that had evolved over a period of time). Mr Nripendra Mishra was always available for guidance and this day was no different. Despite the short notice, he gave us time. A meeting was held at the PMO on 30th March. Mr Mishra backed my stand and asked me to go ahead to brief the media later in the afternoon but only after I had received the PM's clearance through the PMO. I also suggested announcement of the future course of action with regard to the two papers that had leaked. This too was agreed upon. We now had something concrete to tell the media. The economics exam of class 12 was to be re-conducted and the decision on Mathematics paper for class 10 was to be taken subsequently on the basis of an enquiry into the extent and impact of leakage. The logic was simple. The class 10 exam was like an internal exam with virtually no implication on future admissions. Class 12 had much greater implications. (Subsequently, post enquiry, it was discovered that the class 10 paper leak was neither widespread nor did it have any impact on the outcome. Hence, no re-examination was done in this case and around 16 lakh children were saved from the trouble of having to appear again).
The press conference was originally scheduled at 5 pm on 30th March. The entire media was waiting for me but I was eagerly awaiting the clearance from the PMO. With every passing second, the suspense grew as everyone waited with bated breath. The clearance finally came at around 6 pm. This press conference was unarguably the toughest I ever had. Later I noted in my diary, 'The Conference took place in the afternoon in a packed hall. The aggressive posture of the media reflected angst. Fortunately, in the hour-long interaction I kept my cool and handled the questions reasonably well. One could clarify the approach of the government and the purpose seemed to have been served". It was perhaps much more than that. It was the severest of all tests in my career.

Q: Having an Issue with a jQuery dropdown menu i've been researching this for about 3 hours now with no gravy so I finally caved and decided to ask here. I have a jsFiddle i hope someone can look at and help me.
Essentially what is happening is that I am trying to create a simple dropdown menu and it's working great except for one small issue.
When the submenu comes down, you have to actually mouse over the submenu in order for it to fadeout. You are just on the main link that activates the submenu, and you leave the main link to the right, left, or top, the submenu stays there static.
I tried to write my own little script (which I commented out on the jsFiddle for you to see) with my basic knowledge of JS and it would work if I could get it to only trigger when leaving the link from the top, left and right sides. When you leave the main link and try to access the submenu, the submenu disappears before your mouse even gets to it.
I understand why this is happening (I'm telling it to disappear when it leaves the class .dropdown which is the class applied to main link.) but I don't know how to fix it. I'm pretty new to JS.
Anyways, sorry if I am confusing you, here is the JS fiddle to get a better grasp.
See if you can see the problem with my code commented out. It will not leave the submenu if you leave the "Products" link to the left, right and top.
Then you can uncomment my code and see why that isn't working.
http://jsfiddle.net/4wzmf/8/

A: I think your jQuery code was a bit more complicated than it should have been.
Also, you had a strange structure going on with your main navigation set up. Instead of on main
 and child
 you had every link as its own
. You had the id of "mainnav" on every
, which was kind of strange, and it isn't valid code. (Side note: You can only use an ID ONCE on a page. If you're going to use it multiple times, make it a class.)
I also cleaned up some of your CSS the way I like to do it. It doesn't mean it's better than what you had.
The HTML:

news

contact

rentals

services

products

link 1

link 2

link 3

link 4

about

home

And the jQuery
$(function() {
   $('.dropdown').mouseenter(function() {
       $('.sublinks').slideDown(300);
   });

   $('.dropdown').mouseleave(function() {
       $('.sublinks').slideUp(300);
   });
});

Anyway, I made a js fiddle and it works well.
http://jsfiddle.net/QhkUn/23/
Basically, what I did was clean up your navigation structure. If you create a nested
 of "sublinks" within the
 then you can simply say to do everything on mousenter/mouseleave of the "dropdown" main link
. This way, it slides up when you mouse out of the "sublinks" ul, because it is a child of "dropdown" - does that make sense?

Once upon a time, a long time ago, a visionary called Tarsem Singh made a movie of such beauty and pathos that it broke my heart. Ever since THE FALL, I've been hoping for him to create something as simultaneously whimsical and powerful, but in vain. IMMORTALS was quite simply unwatchable - dull narrative, bad acting, absurd casting - but worst of all, Singh traded in his singular visual style for a cheap rip-off of Zach Snyder's 300.
MIRROR MIRROR isn't as bad as IMMORTALS, but it's still very, very disappointing. The good news is that the movie looks wonderful and has a visual wit that was entirely absent in IMMORTALS. I simply adored Eiko Ishioka's stunning costumes (sadly her last film before she died), and I loved the imaginative touches of dwarves using expandable legs, and a mirror that leads to an alternate dream reality. I even loved the casting of the gamine Lily Collins as Snow White, the not unattractive Armie Hammer as the Prince, and was intrigued to see how Julia Roberts would interpret The Queen.
The problem with the movie is, however, a fatal one. The script simply doesn't match the production design. I think the problem is that Jason Keller (MACHINE GUN PREACHER) and Marc Klein (A GOOD YEAR) wanted to write a SHREK-like post-modern post-feminist fairy-tale, where ageing queens go for extreme Hollywood makeovers and the dialogue is full of attempts at wry wit. But this stands in sharp contrast to the design of the film, which takes a childish delight in all things magical and wondrous and beautiful. The result is a film that is tonally all over the place, sparse on laughs and awkward in its romance. A tremendous waste of a beautiful production and yet another disappointment from the man who gave us one of the best films of the last decade.

Celebrity Fight Night Foundation
Celebrity Fight Night Foundation, an internationally recognized philanthropic
organization that has generated more than $90 million in charitable funding throughout its 27-
year history, is merging with Gateway for Cancer Research, a global sponsor of innovative,
patient-centric, clinical cancer research. The merger puts Gateway's Chairman and Vice Chair,
Richard J Stephenson and Dr. Stacie J. Stephenson, respectively, at the helm of the Phoenix-
based Celebrity Fight Night organization, whose charity events are synonymous with star-
studded support for advances in health and well-being. Celebrity Fight Night, whose work has
supported a range of worthwhile causes, will now focus its firepower on defeating cancer, a
devastating disease that annually takes the lives of millions of men, women, and children
worldwide.
"Stacie and I have been passionate
supporters of Celebrity Fight Night
and its tireless work to combat
neurological disease and other
devastating maladies," said Mr.
Stephenson, founder and chairman
of the Board of Gateway for Cancer
Research. "It is an honor to usher in
the next era for an event that
resonates with so many people and
makes such a tremendous charitable
impact." Dr. Stacie Stephenson,
Gateway's Vice Chair, added, "My
husband and I, joined by so many
others, are on an unstoppable
mission to end cancer as we know it.
We support our mission with passion and a sense of urgency for the patients we serve. Bringing
Celebrity Fight Night into the Gateway for Cancer Research family will do much to accelerate
the realization of our vision, which is to create a world in which a cancer diagnosis is no longer
feared."
Mr. Stephenson is a global merchant banker and the founder and chairman of Cancer Treatment
Centers of America, established in 1988 following the death of his mother, Mary Brown
Stephenson, from cancer. To honor his mother's life and legacy, Mr. Stephenson vowed to

change the face of cancer care. He created a new model of treatment that transformed the way
surgeons, oncologists, and other clinical professionals care for patients with cancer. This whole-
person cancer treatment approach combined with a compassionate, nurturing environment is now
known as the "Mother Standard of Care" and provides a uniquely patient-centered approach to
cancer treatment.
With expertise in regenerative, functional, natural, and advanced lifestyle medicine—the
hallmarks of healthful, energetic living—Dr. Stephenson spent 15 years in private practice.
Today she serves as Chair of Functional Medicine at Cancer Treatment Centers of America and
Vice Chair of the board of directors for Gateway for Cancer Research. She is a noted speaker on
the subject of health and wellness and the author of the newly released bestselling book,
VIBRANT! A Ground Breaking Program to Get Energized, Own Your Health, and Glow. Just
this month Childhelp honored Dr. Stephenson with the prestigious Woman of the World award.
As Founder of Celebrity Fight Night, Jimmy Walker has excelled in securing support and
endorsements from noted celebrities like David Foster, Reba McEntire, Andrea Bocelli, Billy
Crystal, Josh Groban and numerous others. That combined with many decades of passion has
placed Celebrity Fight Night in a
league of its own. Generosity from its
numerous donors, including
individuals like the Stephensons and
charitable organizations such as The
Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation
were instrumental in furthering the
reach and impact of Celebrity Fight
Night. Also, sincere appreciation goes
to the Celebrity Fight Night board
members who were tremendously
supportive throughout the years: Mark
Cavanaugh, Jerry Colangelo, John
Langbein, Harvey Mackay, and Nancy
Walker.
Celebrity Fight Night is distinguished for its affiliation with the legendary Muhammad Ali, who
served as the gala's guest of honor for two decades until his passing in 2016. "Muhammad and I
were proud to be part of Celebrity Fight Night for more than 20 years," said Lonnie Ali. "The
legacy Jimmy created and the difference he made in the fight against Parkinson's disease, as well
as so many other important causes, will forever be recognized. We are grateful for Celebrity
Fight Night's significant role in establishing the world-class Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at
Barrow Neurological Institute."
Sean Currie, who has been instrumental in advancing the fundraising success of Celebrity Fight
Night since joining the organization in 1997, will continue to serve in his role as Executive
Director. Michael Burton, Gateway for Cancer Research's President and CEO, welcomed Mr.
Currie to the Gateway family. "I have had the pleasure of getting to know Sean over the years
and have long admired his high-impact work at Celebrity Fight Night. The team at Gateway for
Cancer and I look forward to working closely with such a talented professional as we combine
forces in our battle to defeat cancer once and for all."
Planning for the next Celebrity Fight Night event is well underway. The highly anticipated affair,
which is known for bringing A-list celebrities to Phoenix and raising in a single night millions of
dollars in charitable funds, is slated for Saturday, March 12, 2022.

Ghosts at Lansing's Turner-Dodge House, and strange occurrences at Seven Gables Road in Dansville are explored in new book "Haunted Lansing."
LANSING - Did a dying witch really curse Dansville's Seven Gables Road, making it the most haunted stretch you can travel in Michigan?
Is the ghost of Marion Turner, one of Lansing's founding pioneers, haunting the stately Turner-Dodge House that's stood on East North Street for 160 years?
And what are the odds that spirits of inmates long gone are the culprits behind strange noises in Charlotte's historic 1885 Eaton County Courthouse?
The Lansing area's urban legends are a mix of fact and fiction, author Jenn Carpenter says.
To better understand how they came to be, she said, you have to sort through both.
Carpenter's new book "Haunted Lansing," released Monday, does just that.
A self-professed true crime junkie, Carpenter has long held a fondness for the paranormal. In the book, she tackles the lore behind more than 20 local landmarks and infamous spots around Lansing.
Sometimes, Carpenter said, fact is just as fascinating as fiction.
Six years ago, Carpenter, 38, said history offered her family no answers when they experienced their own haunting.
They had moved into a house just outside Grand Ledge, she said, and quickly became uneasy. Smoke detectors went off unexpectantly in the middle of the night and Carpenter heard voices.
One morning human footprints were found on the floor of her bedroom.
"They looked like they would have been sticky or oily to touch them, but it wasn't," she said. The prints didn't match anyone in her family, she said.
Then Carpenter encountered something that truly scared her.
"You in there?" she asked outside the door.
Carpenter was sitting on a nearby bench waiting for her husband to open the bathroom door when he entered the house through a back door minutes later.
He'd been outside with their dogs for 20 minutes, she said.
During her family's five years at the property, Carpenter slept on the living room couch more times than she could count, and while several paranormal investigators who visited their house acknowledge ghostly activity inside, there was nothing suspect about the home's history.
"Nothing happened there that I could find," Carpenter said. "There was something there, and I have no idea what it was."
The experience made Carpenter a believer, albeit a skeptical one.
"If someone says, 'Oh there's a ghost in my house,' my first question is, 'Why?'" Carpenter said. "'What happened in your house?' I believe in ghosts, but I'm also pretty skeptical, so I'm the first person to say, 'No. That's nothing.'"
Carpenter started researching and writing "Haunted Lansing" for Arcadia Publishing and The History Press last year, but she's been sharing ghost stories since 2016.
That's when she founded Demented Mitten Tours, offering group visits to infamous and historic properties around mid-Michigan.
Only family and friends were in attendance during the first tour, but, after it was over, Carpenter knew she was onto something.Today Demented Mitten Tours sells out its events, making stops in a 34-passenger bus all over mid-Michigan, always at night.
Ticket holders get a firsthand look at places like Seven Gables Road, which dead-ends into gated-off state game land. They also learn about the history of local landmarks like the Turner-Dodge House, the State Capitol, and the site of the 1927 bombing of Bath Consolidated School.
Many of the stops on the tours are featured in "Haunted Lansing."
Barbara Loyer, event manager at the Turner-Dodge House, said unexplained happenings at the Lansing landmark "can be spooky sometimes," but are never truly scary.
"To be honest, the busier we get – and we are quite busy in recent years – the fewer things there are that make you go "Hmmmmmmmm?" Loyer said in an email. "There is just so much going on and – if you'll forgive me -- so many actual living people in the house!"
The same can be said for Charlotte's 1885 Eaton County Courthouse. The red brick building is home to the Eaton County Courthouse Museum.
Manager Julie Kimmer has experienced "creepy things" while working there, including hearing unexplained noises but said none of them amount to much more than speculation.
"I'm not scared here," she said. "But I've witnessed things I can't understand."
Ghost hunts at the courthouse take place every fall. At Turner-Dodge, people recount ghost stories during an October gathering.
"Ghost stories are absolutely part of the interest," Loyer said. "It's rarely a week that goes by that someone doesn't ask about ghost stories."
Both Turner-Dodge House and the 1885 Eaton County Courthouse have rich, dramatic histories that serve as back stories for the ghostly happenings reported at either property, Carpenter said.
Haunted reputations that surround a property often start that way, she said, loosely based on fact.
Others offer the opposite — histories that conflict with local lore in spite of a spot's haunted reputation.
Case in point? Seven Gables Road. There's no truth to the witch story, Carpenter said, but even she'll admit to being frightened by her visits to the property.
The road ends at a turn around, where a gate blocks cars from proceeding any further.
Gary Gierke, a Mason resident who founded the Michigan Area Paranormal Society, said the history behind the infamous road doesn't offer any insight into why people experience so many strange things there.
"For some reason, there is a lot of paranormal activity out there," Gierke said. "It never disappoints."
Carpenter said the same can be said for Laingsburg's Blood Cemetery, which earned a chapter in the book as well. Lore suggests the couple who built it were consumed by tragedy.
The myth is that Mr. Blood hacked Mrs. Blood to death with an ax before hanging himself from a tree on the property.
In truth, there was a Dr. Blood, a chiropractor who accidentally cut off his own leg in a tree where Blood Cemetery stands today, Carpenter said.
Other landmarks featured in Carpenter's book have histories that pair well with their reputations — like the former home of Jewett Funeral Home, an 1855 mansion on South Jefferson Street, and the historic Stimson Hospital in Eaton Rapids.
While orbs and lights, sounds and breezes are subject to opinion, history is concrete, Carpenter said.
"Haunted Lansing" starts there, but provides plenty of spooky stories too.

"It was agreed to continue contacts at various levels. The President of Russia invited the Prime Minister of India to take part in the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok in September 2019 as a main guest", the Facebook Post read further.
Russian President Putin also wished Indian Prime Minister Modi success in the upcoming parliamentary elections in India and invited him to take part in the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok in September 2019 as a main guest.
India-Russia ties are on a new high and both the countries have strengthened their engagement at various levels recently. Earlier this month, both India and Russia agreed to enhance strategic, military and security cooperation in various sectors. The decision was taken after a meeting between India's Lok Sabha, the lower house of parliament, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan and Chairman of the State Duma of Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin.
Volodin visited Indian earlier last month for the 5th Russia-India Inter-parliamentary commission.
India and Russia had also discussed the draft on the military Logistic Sharing agreement and set up a working group on military cooperation within the IGC-MTC format during the 18th session of the Russian-Indian inter-governmental commission on military-technical cooperation in New Delhi, which was attended by Indian Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Self-Driving Electric Buses Set To Launch In Finland This Year
By Maria Cook
This fall, Finland will integrate a pair of self-driving electric buses into regular public transportation in Helsinki. The buses are part of Finland's Sohjoa project, (part of the larger, EU-financed mySMARTLife program) involving the six largest cities in Finland. It's focused on bringing energy efficient mobility to European cities.
The buses themselves are EasyMile EZ10 models from innovative automotive company EasyMile, which specializes in electric, self-driving vehicles. According to the company's website, the Ez10 is an "electric shuttle dedicated to smart mobility designed to cover short distances and predefined routes in multi-use environments."
The bus has no steering wheel, no specific front or rear, and requires no infrastructure to operate, as a train or trolley would. Instead, the Ez10s run back and forth along a reprogrammed line, shuttling up to 12 people at a top speed of about 15 miles per hour. Those in Helsinki are planned to run at just 7 miles per hour.
But as the EasyMile website points out, these buses serve a different purpose than traditional public transportation vehicles: "EZ10 is not about speed it is about covering short distances (last mile concept) where conventional means of transportation are not relevant but at the same time distances are too long to walk all the more when facing adverse weather conditions!"
A post shared by Refonda Group Ltd. (@refondagroup) on Mar 2, 2017 at 3:18am PST
Those hesitant to get on board, literally and figuratively, with the concept of self-driving vehicles may well be comforted by the Ez10's low speed, and the fact that every bus will have an operator on board, in case of an emergency.
In Finland, the buses have already been tested in various traffic conditions and will continue to be monitored until August. According to Oscar Nissin of Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, the buses are tested in a variety of ways during their trial periods, as he explains, "We focus on a number of aspects including sensor technology, user experience, and how to complement overall public transit services with self-driving buses."
From July to August, the buses will run between Helsinki's Mustikkamaa recreational island and the Helsinki Zoo. In the fall, they will be launched along an undisclosed route in Helsinki, where they have the potential to become a permanent part of the city's public transportation system.
Around the world, electric vehicles continue to make headlines and seem to be catching on with the public, slowly but surely. But because self-driving technology is outlawed in many places, including most parts of the United States, testing is difficult and public awareness remains fairly low.
It is easy to imagine that in Finland (where self-driving vehicles are completely legal) testing of the EZ10 buses may well serve as influential example to the rest of the world. The goal of reducing air pollution and carbon emissions is an admirable one, which cities around the globe may well wish to emulate. As one press release stated, "Automated, remote-controlled bus service could markedly reduce the costs of the last-mile service and improve access to public transit. The ultimate goal is to increase public transit use and so to reduce cars and needs to drive in the city."

A truly great American, Dr. Edward Zigler passed away February 7 at his home in Connecticut at the age of 88. A legendary scholar, developmental psychologist, and architect of American public policy, Dr. Zigler was Sterling Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University, the first director of the U.S. Office of Childhood Development, and founder of the Yale Bush Center in Child Development and Social Policy.
Dr. Zigler's association with Horizons, which began in 1980, was the serendipitous result of a professional connection to Edward Fiske, then Educational Editor of The New York Times, who served as a trustee of New Canaan Country School down the Connecticut Turnpike from Yale University. NCCS had launched an experimental summer program for children from low-income families in 1964, which had become well established by 1979, when I arrived as Head of NCCS.
Enter Dr. Zigler. Thanks to the introduction from Ted Fiske and indefatigable pursuit by Lyn McNaught, the newly appointed Executive Director of Horizons, Dr. Zigler agreed to take a quick look at what was going on, give us a little advice on what kind of social interventions might actually make a measurable difference in the lives of children in poverty, and perhaps design a study of Horizons using his considerable resources at the Center for Child Development and Social Policy.
His interest was piqued by his initial observations. In 1980, working with a small committee of Horizons Board members, interested NCCS trustees, and administrators, Dr. Zigler and several of his colleagues conducted a randomized control study of our Horizons Program. He was a formidable presence at our periodic committee gatherings in the back of the NCCS library: brilliant, eloquently passionate about children, immensely knowledgeable, efficient and direct. With little tolerance for well-intentioned "liberal nonsense," he brought to bear a professional persona clearly hammered out on the anvil of decades of dealing not only with fractious academicians, but also with Washington politicians.
His Yale team's study of Horizons was thorough and, for us amateurs, agonizingly meticulous. It took almost two years of interviews, questionnaires, and discussions. At last, in 1982, Ed (With some temerity a handful of us had ventured onto what we felt was a first-name basis with the man who could surprise us in an instant with candid, often acidic passing observations such as "It's an American disgrace that child-care providers in this country are paid less than zookeepers!") gathered our group with his team of research assistants, shared their findings, and told us what we needed to change in order to make a genuinely meaningful impact on the lives of the families in poverty in Fairfield County, Connecticut. All of us at NCCS at the time were uncomfortably aware of the fact that New Canaan was the most affluent community in the most affluent state in the most affluent nation in the world. We were far less aware of the accompanying poverty in our communities and the fact that Connecticut had the largest achievement gap in the country!
There was clear evidence that participation in Horizons led to improved student attendance at their public schools from September to June, a significant finding.
There was encouraging evidence that enrolling children in Horizons significantly increased their families' willingness to increase their involvement in their own public schools and advocate for their children.
Horizons students had significantly fewer disciplinary referrals than their non-Horizons counterparts.
When Ed concluded these introductory remarks, a palpable gloom hung in the little reading room. Then Dr. Zigler, the author of more than 800 scholarly articles and 43 books and monographs, instructed us on reality.
We left the New Canaan library in 1982 somewhat chastened, considerably wiser, and eager to address the challenges Dr. Zigler had laid out for us—at New Canaan Country School and elsewhere.
In subsequent years the Horizons model has continued to evolve. Dr. Zigler and his research team returned for a second study in the mid 1990's, and starting in 1995, the program was expanded to an increasing numbers of sites in Connecticut and beyond. High school components have been added to many programs and affiliate programs have been developed on the campuses of colleges and universities.
What abides through all the expansion and program evolution is Dr. Zigler's model, the magic, that works so well. Swiftly, effectively, he guided Horizons through a fundamental transformation. The inchoate little Horizons at New Canaan in the 1960's and 1970's served a handful of children; today, on 59 campuses in 18 states spread out over our diverse country, we serve more than 6,000 youth. And the service, the leveling of our American educational playing field for thousand and thousands of young children, expands each and every year.

This article provides an introduction to surface code quantum computing. We first estimate the size and speed of a surface code quantum computer. We then introduce the concept of the stabilizer, using two qubits, and extend this concept to stabilizers acting on a two-dimensional array of physical qubits, on which we implement the surface code. We next describe how logical qubits are formed in the surface code array and give numerical estimates of their fault-tolerance. We outline how logical…

Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe B.V. (KCME) is pleased to announce its attendance at the forthcoming GaLaBau international trade fair at Nuremberg on 12-15 September. Germany is one of the important markets for Kobelco with huge potential for growth, particularly in the mini and midi excavator sector, so the manufacturer will be using the event as a strategic platform to showcase its latest models. As a leading excavator specialist, Kobelco is committed to manufacturing the best machines it can and mini excavators are key to its overall product line-up. Over the past 3 years, the Japanese manufacturer has significantly invested in developing and improving this popular smaller weight category and currently offers a wide range of models from small 1-ton and short radius machines for compact job sites, to larger models up to 8.5-tons. This continual investment and development means that many of the technologies from the larger-capacity models can now be found in Kobelco's mini excavators. For example, the manufacturer's innovative iNDr (Integrated Noise & Dust Reduction cooling system) technology was initially introduced for the larger short radius machines, but has now been integrated in a number of mini excavators from the SK28SR-6 and upwards. This means that customers of the smaller-capacity machines can also benefit from the same outstanding reliability and low noise operation, which is ideal for working in urban areas. KCME looks forward to presenting the SK28SR-6, SK30SR-6, SK35SR-6, SK45SRX-6 and SK55SRX-6 models along with the smallest SK10SR-2 and SK17SR-3 models at GaLaBau. In addition, Germany's midi-excavator sector has shown a slight growth in the past 12 months and Kobelco has a number of excellent solutions to meet the demands of this segment. The SK75SR-3 and SK85MSR-3 are renowned as 'light heavy excavators' because their designs incorporate existing Kobelco heavy machinery technology. As well as featuring iNDr, SK75SR-3 and SK85MSR-3 can also be equipped with different attachments in addition to their standard mono booms. Both machines also deliver outstanding operator controllability thanks to hydraulic system technology as used in larger capacity Kobelco excavators. Another benefit of utilising existing heavy machinery design within the midi-excavator class is the increased size of the operator cabins, which deliver a large working area and, therefore, greater comfort in all working environments. Visitors to GaLaBau will see the SK75SR-3 fitted with the Side Drain attachment and mounted Rototilt R3 and bucket, which offers the operator more flexibility across many different applications. The SK85MSR-3 will be fitted with the two-piece boom, which enables the operator to adjust the boom according to their required reach and lifting capacities and work in much smaller areas. This particular machine will also be installed with a mounted hydraulic quick coupler OQ45 from OilQuick, MTS vibratory plate and the iDig 2D machine control system. Commenting on Kobelco's attendance at this year's GaLaBau exhibition, KCME German Business Manager, Hanns Renz said: "We're delighted to be attending GaLaBau this year – Germany and the surrounding nations are important markets for us. In fact, we are currently expanding our coverage in Germany and have just appointed a new authorised dealer, including Rossow Machinery, which will help service our customers in Rheinland-Pfalz, west of river Rhine and Saarland. "Mini excavators are important to Kobelco's overall proposition and we have a wide range of machines covering a variety of applications. Experience in the German market tells us that our mini and midi excavators are often the first taste our customers have with the Kobelco brand before they consider purchasing heavier machines, so it is important that these smaller models are highly competitive. We're very proud of what we've achieved with our mini and midi-excavator line-up and are looking forward to talking to GaLaBau's many visitors about the benefits of using Kobelco machinery." GaLaBau is one of the world's leading exhibitions for designers, manufacturers and suppliers from the landscape gardening sector. Since its establishment in 1965, the event now regularly attracts around 1,300 exhibitors and 65,000 visitors over the four days, making it the ideal place to find out more about the latest innovations, developments and future trends from across the industry.
