All is True (Cine Babies)
"All Is True is just what you would want for a Shakespeare biopic directed by Kenneth Branagh - it's touching and impeccably well-acted, with great turns from the director and on-screen wife Judi Dench." - Daily Mirror (UK)
"When it comes to Shakespeare movies, you know you're in good hands with Kenneth Branagh. In All Is True, the British actor and director does double duty in front of and behind the camera, speculating about the Bard's bittersweet final years. This handsome film is wondefully acted and clearly made with no shortage of compassion and love.
"Written by Ben Elton, who acted alongside Branagh in 1993's screen adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, the film begins in 1613, shortly after the playwright's beloved Globe Theatre burned to the ground. Afterward, he'd never write another play again. It's as if something inside of him was snuffed out along with the Globe. Instead, Shakespeare returned to his family home in Stratford-upon-Avon, where he lived out his retirement alongside his estranged wife (a winningly crabby Judi Dench) and his two daughters. A son named Hamnet, who died years earlier at age 11, is an additional presence – mostly as a source of Shakespeare's ghostly, late-life regrets as an absentee father. He's a stranger in his own home, mourning a son he never truly knew.
"Branagh putters around in the garden and receives admiring visitors, such an Ian McKellen's rascally Earl of Southampton. Meanwhile, greedy ulterior motives, infidelity scandals, and years of repressed family secrets keep spilling out, robbing Shakespeare of the peace he seems to yearn for. Branagh's easy-on-the-eyes (and the ears) drama offers enough detail-rich pleasures to make it worth checking out." - Entertainment Weekly

Q: how to skip over lines in a list and add to a file based on index number? python I have a list, with entries separated by a new line:
lines=[
 '  22414035.537   117786547.45218     -3116.294                                  \n',
 '                  22414038.860    22414035.186    87957488.29217     -2327.383  \n',
 '  20484531.215   107646935.64119     -1170.828                                  \n',
 '                  20484533.402    20484530.680    80385700.15618      -874.345  \n',
 '  22744037.211   119520718.50318      3083.940                                  \n',
 '                  22744039.645    22744037.355    89252483.05018      2302.858  \n']

I have another list:
Indx=[1]

-note, this list can be filled by multiple entries.
I want to iterate through the list and if the index of every two lines is equal to a value from the list, Indx, then i want to do nothing. If the indx of every two lines does not equal a value from Indx, then I want to add that respective line and the next line in the file to a new file.
for example in this case, the new file would contain:
   22414035.537   117786547.45218     -3116.294
                   22414038.860    22414035.186    87957488.29217     -2327.383
   22744037.211   119520718.50318      3083.940
                   22744039.645    22744037.355    89252483.05018      2302.858

The issue I am having at the moment is that i cannot skip to the next line in the list. furthermore, my code is adding lines to the file even when the count does equal a value from the Indx list.
heres my code:
EditedRinexObs=open("H:\Uni Work\EditedRinexObs.16o", "a")
for line in lines:
    if ('g') not in line:
        count=(0)
        it=iter(lines)
        for x in indx:
            if count != x:
                EditedRinexObs.writelines(line)
                EditedRinexObs.writelines("\n")
                it.next()
                EditedRinexObs.writelines(line)
                EditedRinexObs.writelines("\n")
                it.next()
                count=count+1
             elif count == x:
                it.next()
                it.next()
                count=count+1
EditedRinexObs.close()

I hope that makes sense, I'm not really sure whats going on and couldn't find the answer in other question.

A: If you only want to count pairs, create a set of indexes and zip the lines grouping every two lines together only yielding lines whose index is not in the set:
def pairs(l,inds):
    it = iter(l)
    st = set(inds)
    for ind, (a, b) in enumerate(zip(it, it)):
        if ind not in st:
            yield a,b

print(list(pairs(lines, Indx)))

Which would give you:
[('  22414035.537   117786547.45218     -3116.294                                  \n',
  '                  22414038.860    22414035.186    87957488.29217     -2327.383  \n'),
 ('  22744037.211   119520718.50318      3083.940                                  \n',
  '                  22744039.645    22744037.355    89252483.05018      2302.858  \n')]

If you want to consider overlapping pairs, you could use the pairwise recipe but then you can get duplicates so you need to decide what you want to do if that is the case, it would be something like:
from itertools import izip, tee, count

def pairwise(iterable):
    "s -> (s0,s1), (s1,s2), (s2, s3), ..."
    a, b = tee(iterable)
    next(b, None)
    return izip(a, b)

def pairs(l, inds):
    st = set(inds)
    pr, cn = pairwise(l), count(0)
    prev = 0
    for a, b in pr:
        i = next(cn)
        if i not in st:
            if i - 1 != prev:
                yield a
            yield b
            next(pr)
            prev = i

A: Here's a fairly simple way that doesn't need iter, although I must confess I like Padraic's solution. :)
I'll output to stdout, to keep things simple. I've changed your Indx to indx to conform to usual Python conventions: simple variable names should begin with a lower-case letter; names that begin with an upper-case letter are used for classes. I've also turned it into a set, since testing membership of a set is generally faster than testing membership of a list, although for very small lists the list is probably faster.
import sys

lines = [
    '  22414035.537   117786547.45218     -3116.294                                  \n',

]

indx = set([1])

out = sys.stdout

for i in range(len(lines) // 2):
    if i not in indx:
        out.write(lines[2*i])
        out.write(lines[2*i + 1])

}}Goran Vlaović''' (Nova Gradiška 7 augustus 1972) is een voormalig professioneel voetballer afkomstig uit Kroatië. Zijn carrière begon hij in 1989 bij het Kroatische NK Osijek. Hij sloot deze af in het buitenland: in 2004 bij het Griekse Panathinaikos. Ondertussen speelde hij van 1992 tot en met 2002 voor het nationale elftal van Kroatië. Vlaović speelde in de aanval, meestal als spits.

NK Osijek
In 1989 startte Goran Vlaović zijn professionele voetbalcarrière bij Nogometni Klub Osijek. De Kroatische club speelde toen echter nog niet in de 1. Hrvatska Nogometna Liga, de hoogste competitie van het Kroatische voetbal, maar in de Joegoslavische competitie. Dit kwam doordat Kroatië toentertijd nog deel uitmaakte van Joegoslavië. Hierdoor speelde het in de competitie ook tegen Sloveense, Bosnische, Servische, Macedonische en Montenegrijnse clubs. Zo moest het ook spelen tegen clubs als Rode Ster Belgrado en Partizan Belgrado en was de competitie dus erg zwaar. Daardoor was NK Osijek niets meer dan een middenmoter. Hoewel Vlaović al in het seizoen 1989/1990 zijn debuut maakte voor Osijek, zou hij dat seizoen geen extra wedstrijden meer spelen. Het seizoen erop, 1990/1991, zou echter de officiële doorbraak voor hem betekenen. In de 23 wedstrijden die hij speelde, scoorde Vlaović elf keer. Mede daardoor werd Osijek negende in de competitie en was het de op twee na beste Kroatische club. Het zou echter om twee redenen zijn laatste seizoen in de Joegoslavische competitie zijn. Ten eerste speelden de Kroatische clubs vanaf 1992 niet meer mee in de Joegoslavische competitie, omdat ze, vanwege de onafhankelijkheid van Kroatië, een eigen competitie op hadden gericht. Daarnaast maakte Goran Vlaović in 1992 de overstap van NK Osijek naar een grotere Kroatische club. Voor Osijek speelde Vlaović in totaal 24 wedstrijden. Daarin trof hij elf keer het net.

Croatia Zagreb
In 1992 maakte Goran Vlaović de overstap van NK Osijek naar HAŠK Građanski, het vroegere Dinamo Zagreb. Overigens heet de club tegenwoordig ook weer Dinamo Zagreb. Door de transfer kwam hij bij een van de Kroatische topclubs te spelen. Het eerste seizoen, in het jaar 1992, verliep echter niet zo goed voor de club. Dat seizoen werd maar een half jaar gespeeld, doordat de competitie net nieuw opgericht was, maar Građanksi wist zich dus niet te bewijzen. Het eindigde als vijfde in de competitie, nog zelfs achter Osijek, de oude club van Vlaović. Voor aanvang van het seizoen veranderde HAŠK haar naam in Croatia Zagreb. Meteen het jaar na de naamsverandering werd de club voor het eerst kampioen van Kroatië. Dit kwam mede doordat Goran Vlaović met 23 doelpunten veruit de meest trefzekere spits van de competitie was. Door het kampioenschap plaatste hij zich met Zagreb voor de kwalificatierondes van de UEFA Champions League en maakte hij zo zijn debuut in het Europese voetbal. Croatia Zagreb zou in de Eerste Ronde echter uitgeschakeld worden door het Roemeense Steaua Boekarest. Hoewel Goran Vlaović in 1994 met zijn club de Beker van Kroatië won, door in de finale NK Rijeka te verslaan, werd de club dat seizoen geen kampioen. Wel was Vlaović weer de topscorer van de competitie, dit keer met 29 doelpunten. Vijf daarvan scoorde hij in de met 10-1 gewonnen wedstrijd tegen NK Pazinka. Zijn 29 doelpunten was het record van de Kroatische competitie, totdat Eduardo da Silva dat in dienst van eveneens Dinamo Zagreb dit met 34 doelpunten in het seizoen 2006/2007 verbrak. Vanwege zijn goede prestaties verdiende Goran Vlaović in 1994 een transfer naar het buitenland. Ook had hij ondertussen al zijn debuut gemaakt voor het nationale elftal van Kroatië. Voor Croatia Zagreb speelde Goran Vlaović in totaal 81 competitiewedstrijden. Daarin scoorde hij 61 doelpunten.

Calcio Padova
Goran Vlaović vertrok in 1994 van Croatia Zagreb naar het Italiaanse Calcio Padova. Destijds speelde die club nog in de Serie A, alhoewel het toen al tegen degradatie vocht. Als trefzekere spits werd Vlaović aangetrokken om de club hiertegen te behoeden. Hoewel Vlaović in zijn eerste seizoen bij Padova 27 wedstrijden mocht spelen, was hij lang niet zo trefzeker als bij zijn Kroatische clubs. Hij scoorde namelijk maar vijf keer. Toch eindigde Padova op de vijftiende plaats, waardoor directe degradatie werd ontweken. In de play-offs tegen de nummer 14 (Genoa) werd met 1-1 gelijkgespeeld, maar na strafschoppen won Padova (5-4) en werd degradatie definitief ontweken. Hoewel Vlaović in het volgende seizoen (1995/1996) met dertien doelpunten een stuk trefzekerder was, was degradatie dit keer onvermijdelijk. Padova eindigde als laatste en daarom verliet Vlaović de club aan het einde van het seizoen. Hij scoorde achttien keer in 50 competitiewedstrijden voor Padova.

Valencia CF
Voor aanvang van het seizoen 1996/1997 maakte Goran Vlaović de overstap naar de Spaanse topclub Valencia CF, dat het seizoen ervoor tweede was geworden in de competitie. Daar kwam hij samen te spelen met spelers als Iván Campo, Valeri Karpin en Francisco José Camarasa. Het eerste seizoen verliep voor Goran Vlaović persoonlijk redelijk goed. Hij scoorde acht keer in 24 wedstrijden. De club eindigde echter niet eens bij de plaatsen die recht gaven op Europees voetbal, maar bleef haken op de tien plek. Ook het jaar daarna was teleurstellend, want toen eindigde Valencia als negende. Hierdoor plaatste het zich wel voor de Intertoto Cup van 1998. Na eerder onder andere landgenoot RCD Espanyol te hebben verslagen, plaatste Valencia zich voor de finale van de Intertoto Cup dat jaar. Daarin werd Austria Salzburg verslagen, waardoor Valencia samen met Werder Bremen en Bologna FC 1909 kampioen werd van de Intertoto Cup. Sindsdien verliep het voor Valencia weer stukken beter, zowel in de competitie als in de beker. In 1999 werd de Copa del Rey namelijk gewonnen ten koste van Atlético Madrid. Goran Vlaović kwam echter steeds minder aan spelen toe. Tijdens zijn laatste seizoen in dienst van de Spanjaarden, 1999/2000, kwam Vlaović zelfs nog maar vier keer in actie. Daarna verliet hij de club. Goran Vlaović speelde in totaal 73 competitiewedstrijden voor Valencia en scoorde daarin zeventien keer.

Panathinaikos
In 2000 vertrok Goran Vlaović van Valencia naar Panathinaikos, om daar weer meer aan spelen toe te komen. Bij de Griekse topclub stond hij weer in de basis en scoorde hij weer veel meer dan bij Valencia. Ondanks zijn productiviteit in zijn eerste twee seizoenen bij Panathinaikos, wist hij toen niet met de club kampioen te worden. De kampioenschappen gingen toen namelijk beide naar Olympiakos Piraeus, net zoals het jaar daarna. Vanaf dat seizoen, 2002/2003, speelde Vlaović echter weer minder, mede door blessures. Toch maakte Vlaović nog een succesvol jaar mee met Panathinaikos. In 2004 werd de club namelijk alsnog kampioen en won het daarnaast ook de Beker van Griekenland. Daarna beëindigde hij op 31-jarige leeftijd zijn carrière als profvoetballer, vanwege de vele blessures. Voor Panathinaikos speelde hij in totaal 64 competitiewedstrijden. Daarin scoorde hij 29 keer.

Interlandcarrière
Op 5 juli 1992 maakte Goran Vlaović zijn debuut voor het nationale elftal van Kroatië. Dit was in een wedstrijd in Melbourne tegen Australië. Dit was tijdens een tour van het nationale elftal door Australië. Na deze tour zou in drie en een half jaar tijd Goran Vlaović nog maar vier uitkomen voor Kroatië. Onder meer vanwege een bloedprop in zijn hersenen kwam hij weinig aan spelen toe. In 1996 scoorde hij echter zijn eerste doelpunten voor Kroatië, namelijk door hat-trick te maken in een wedstrijd tegen Zuid-Korea. Daardoor nam bondscoach Miroslav Blažević hem wel mee naar het EK 1996, gehouden in Engeland. In alle vier de wedstrijden die Kroatië op dat EK speelde, speelde Vlaović mee. Hij scoorde zelfs het enige doelpunt in de met 1-0 gewonnen poulewedstrijd tegen Turkije. Daardoor werd Vlaović de eerste speler die een doelpunt op een eindtoernooi voor Kroatië scoorde. Sindsdien bleef hij een vaste waarde voor het Kroatisch elftal. Zo reisde hij ook mee af naar Frankrijk, om daar te participeren aan het WK 1998. Kroatië werd daar verrassend derde, door onder andere Roemenië en Duitsland, tegen wie Vlaović scoorde, uit te schakelen. Uiteindelijk strandde het team in de halve finale tegen de latere kampioen, thuisland Frankrijk. In de strijd om de derde plaats versloeg Kroatië het Nederlands Elftal met 2-1. Na het WK bleef Vlaović in eerste instantie spelen voor Kroatië, maar vanaf eind 1999 speelde hij niet meer voor zijn land, mede door de blessures. In 2001 maakte hij zijn comeback en hij zou zelfs worden toegevoegd aan de selectie van Kroatië die meedeed aan het WK 2002. Daar kwam hij echter in geen enkele wedstrijd in actie. Uiteindelijk speelde Goran Vlaović zijn 52ste en laatste interland op 21 augustus 2002 tegen Wales. Hij bleef steken op zestien internationale doelpunten, waarmee hij tot op heden de nummer 2 is op lijst van topscorers aller tijden voor Kroatië. Alleen Davor Šuker moet hij voor zich dulden.

Garniss H. Curtis, (born May 27, 1919 – died December 19, 2012) was a professor of geology at the University of California, Berkeley, geochronologist, volcanologist, geophysicist, and founder of the Berkeley Geochronology Center.  In 1960, Curtis and fellow UC Berkeley geophysicist Jack Evernden used potassium-argon dating methods developed by UC Berkeley physicist John Reynolds on minerals found in tephra deposits collected by Evernden to date Mary Leakey's 1959 Olduvai Gorge Bed I hominin Zinjanthropus (Paranthropus boisei) to 1.89 to 1.57 Mya.  The great age of the fossil hominid and associated stone tools in the bed pushed back the then accepted age of the Pleistocene another million years, causing a stir in the geology community. The dating of these fossil finds is considered a starting point for the collaboration of paleoanthropology and geochronology.

Garniss Curtis died December 19, 2012, in Orinda, California.

Prince Charles' favourite pizza is remarkably simple, as is Prince William's curry order
Members of the royal family are known to enjoy a takeaway from time to time, but their tastes differ

We often assume that the Royal Family only eat the most sophisticated food. Many of them, including the Queen herself, have strict eating habits and tend to eat food prepared by their personal chefs.
But just like people across the UK, the royals are also known to enjoy a takeaway every now and then, MyLondon reports. Prince Charles - who as well as being Prince of Wales is also Duke of Cornwall - is thought to be a fan of pizza, and his favourite topping is surprisingly simple. On a trip to Scotland in November 2019, Charles was presented with a pizza by chef Erminio Di Meo in St Boswells. The pizza chef told the PA news agency: "I wanted to give him the pizza as he is such a big part of this country. He was curious, he smiled and I said, 'It's a Margherita'. I believe the Prince said, 'It's my favourite'."
His wife the Duchess of Cornwall prefers fish and chips. In an interview with YOU Magazine she said: "Freshly cooked fish and chips, wrapped in paper. That smell. You cannot beat proper fish and chips." And Camilla is not alone in her choice, with the Queen also said to enjoy fish and chips from the local chippy Ballater when staying at Balmoral.

The Duchess of Cambridge is reportedly a fan of spicy food and enjoys a curry. It's believed that her husband, Prince William, does not handle spice so well, but has admitted to liking a curry with a milder taste.
When asked about his favourite dish on BBC Radio 5 Live's That Peter Crouch Podcast, the Duke said: "Chicken masala, love that, a bit of flavour - I'm not a vindaloo man put it that way." He also told Radio 1 that he found the choice between pizza and Chinese the most difficult. Every now and then he eats at Nando's, having been introduced to it by his police protection officer.

We had a great time, as usual, spending New Year's with Mary's family at Edith's house. Here are the pictures.
Mary's family came from far and wide to meet in Visalia where we celebrated Edith's 80th birthday. We rented 2 Bed and Breakfasts and had a really great time. You can see the pictures here. James sent a few of the great pictures he took and they are available here.
Mary traveled to New Zealand in February to attend the wedding of Janet and Craig. She had a great time visiting everyone and next time Joe is going too. Here are the some of the pictures she took during her visit.
We took Dallas to the beach for the first time on a somewhat blustery February day. It was actually somewhat difficult to find a beach in Pescadero where they allow dogs, but we found this one and Dallas had a great time running around in the sand. Take a look.
Joe attended a conference in Tokyo in March. He had a free day before it began and one after it ended. He spent about half that time in Akihabara - also known as Electric Town. It is an area of Tokyo that specializes in selling electronics of every kind - from light bulbs to cell phones to vacuum cleaners to computers and digital cameras. Despite the fact that it is an absolute assault on the senses, it is not to be missed by an self-respecting gadget hound. Some of the pictures from the trip are available here. As always, these are lower quality versions that make them faster to download. If you want to see a full resolution version of any of these (or other pictures on the site) just let me know.
We had another very nice Easter Brunch this year at Nicolino's Garden Cafe in Sunnyvale. Domenic, Uncle Steve, and I all took pictures. You can get to mine here.
Here are a few pictures from a small gathering at our house for Joe's birthday.
Joe had a conference to attend in Seattle so Mary took the opportunity to go up and visit Johnny and Linda for a while. We all got together for a couple of evenings and Mary spent a couple of nights at Johnny and Linda's house. Here are some shots of the family out seeing the sights.
We had another very nice visit this summer from Mark, Janice, Ally, and Dan. The big outing this year was to see part of the "Bank of the West Tennis Tournament." Ally got the autographs of several big-name tennis stars on a giant tennis ball that she found at a sports shop (I think). It was the second biggest tennis ball I've ever seen. Despite all the outings, just about all of the pictures seem to be centered around eating. Hmm, I wonder if that means something.
At the beginning of August (actually the very end of July) we went to Bangkok so Joe could speak at a couple of events. We stayed at a really wonderful hotel call The Sukhothai. It was as a lot of fun even though Joe was working most of the time. Mary was able to get out to a national park for a couple of days and we both saw at least some of the sights in the city. You can find most of our pictures here. Mary also visited a place called the Snake Farm. They keep poisonous snakes there in order to produce anti venom. We've separated out those pictures in deference to those who'd rather not be faced with big snakes while innocently looking through travel photos..
We were very lucky to have Inge come and visit us for about a week in August. It was really great seeing her and catching up. We just took a couple of pictures and once again, they seem to center around the dinner table (this time outside). Have a look.
At the beginning of September I (Joe) took a brief trip to South Korea to speak at a conference and speak to a couple of customers. I only had about a half a day for sight seeing, but I did manage to take a few pictures. Most of them are at the Korean War Memorial. Sadly, the museum was closed on Monday when I visited. The grounds are pretty amazing though and made it worthwhile. I was intrigued by the amount of emergency equipment in the hotel room - particularly the "panic button" in the bathroom. There are also a couple of pictures of me giving my talk. It was a really nice venue.
Here are the first pictures of the latest addition to our family - Buckaroo the Welsh Corgi. Some of these pictures were actually taken in September when Mary and I went to meet Buckaroo at the breeder's house. At that time he didn't have a name and we just refered to him as "red boy". I'm sure these are the first of many pictures to come. As I typed this and uploaded the pictures I had to pull Buckaroo out from under my desk many times. In just the short total elapsed time he was down there he managed to chew through a cable connected to my computer. He can't get to the power cables, but he got to a communications cable. those little puppy teeth are sharp!
Joe had another quick trip this month - this time to Taiwan. The people organizing the conference he spoke at arranged an afternoon tour with a couple of other people from work. Most of these pictures are from that tour.
Joe made a very quick visit to Singapore to give a talk. He didn't see much other than the insides of some buildings but did get a chance to take a couple of pictures of the surroundings.
Mary took a second trip to New Zealand this year but this time Joe went along as well. We spent the first half of our time there in an area called the Bay of Islands. It's toward the north end of the north Island. It was a great vacation and a beautiful setting. Here are the pictures. The second part of our trip was a combination of a Christmas celebration and a wedding. Mary was the matron of honor in the wedding of her good friend Catherine. You can find pictures of our Christmas activities, the Wedding, and other events here.

Robert Plant Shares New Episode Of Digging Deep Podcast
(hennemusic) Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant is revisiting his 2005 track, "Shine It All Around", on the fourth episode in the third season of his podcast series, "Digging Deep."
The tune was the lead single from the singer's eighth studio record, "Mighty ReArranger", which was a Top 5 album in his native UK while peaking at No. 22 on the US Billboard 200.
"As is often the case with Digging Deep," explains the podcast's producers, "the path we take starts off with the creation of a track, but we also find ourselves discussing what songs Robert wishes he'd written, how he uses his voice as an instrument, the recent performance of Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Willie Nelson's generous nature when it comes to keeping his fans 'relaxed'..."
The third season of the podcast arrives in sync with the October 2 release of a new anthology, "Digging Deep: Subterranea." The limited edition 2CD set, which presents 30 songs from the singer's career, includes three previously-unreleased tracks: "Charlie Patton Highway (Turn It Up - Part 1)", "Too Much Alike", featuring Patty Griffin, and "Nothing Takes The Place Of You."

And like that, another Sneaker Freaker Swap Meet at Globe International HQ is done and dusted. Every event still brings a refreshing variety of sneaker tastes and obscure paraphernalia that only a certain crowd is interested in. Classic Melbourne weather to boot today too: a rather gloomy drizzly morning gave way to scorching sun come midday when the event started which created a blanket of humidity. Pro tip: always wear shorts to these sorts of shindigs.
Another pro tip: get there early to not miss out on limited edition, event exclusive Old English tees. Consolations here.
Above gallery features some choice sneakers that caught the eye – definitely a Swoosh-heavy show but who said that was a bad thing? The waves of BOOST have noticeably receded and the forgotten gems of the mid 2000s resurface: Powerwalls, pre-2007 AF1s, Mark Smith Laser Cortez!?
Colonial Pale Ale also loosened the purse strings: perhaps unnecessary purchases were made but all part of the fun and as such MF DOOM Wallabees and OG Great White BOGs were copped. Thanks Uncle Hans..
Shouts to Sneaker Freaker, Hans, all the table crew, food and beer trucks, and attendees today. Did you spot Jeff Staple?

WATERVLIET ARSENAL, N.Y. -- The Arsenal announced Friday that it received a $4.2 million contract from the U.S. Army to manufacture a new lightweight 60mm mortar baseplate that will enhance Soldiers' abilities to move more quickly across the battlefield, while also reducing logistical requirements.
"This multimillion dollar order will add to our current workload more than 14,000 hours of direct labor," said Jake Peart, the Arsenal's chief of Production Control & Program Management. "We will begin shipping in the fall of 2013 and we will complete our production in the spring of 2015."
The Army's new M224A1 lightweight 60mm mortar system that was fielded in 2011 requires two baseplates: The M7A1 baseplate, which is used in a conventional firing mode, weighs 9.2 pounds, and can fire charges 0 to 4; and the M8 baseplate, which can be used in a hand-held firing mode, weighs 3.6 pounds, but can fire only a charge 0 or 1.
The new M7A2 baseplate the Arsenal will begin manufacturing may be used in a conventional firing mode or from a hand-held firing position, weighs only 4.8 pounds, and can fire charges 0-4. Thereby providing the same firing capabilities as the current two baseplates combined, while reducing the overall weight of the mortar system by more than 8 pounds. Each additional charge above charge 1 increases the range of the mortar round.
The 60mm mortar system is a lightweight, high angle of fire, smooth bore, man-portable, muzzle-loaded weapon system. The Arsenal will continue to manufacture baseplates for the legacy, 60mm mortar system, the M224, until the Army completes its fielding of the newer, lightweight mortar system.
Orders for Watervliet's mortars have greatly increased since 2007 due directly to the type of ground combat that our military has been doing in Afghanistan. In the last 12 months, the Arsenal has manufactured more than 2,000 various mortar parts, from tubes to baseplates.
The U.S. Army's Benét Laboratories designed the M7A2 baseplate. Benét Labs is collocated on the Watervliet Arsenal and is a Department of the Army research, development and engineering facility. It is a part of the Weapons & Software Engineering Center (WSEC), Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), which is located at Picatinny Arsenal, N.J.
Today's Arsenal is relied upon by U.S. and foreign militaries to produce the most advanced, high-tech, high-powered weaponry for cannon, howitzer, and mortar systems. This National Historic Registered Landmark has an annual economic benefit to the local community in excess of $100 million.

Disputed New York Times '1619 Project' Already Shaping Schoolkids' Minds on Race
John Murawski / @johnmurawski / February 03, 2020
Since its publication in August, The New York Times' 1619 Project has been adopted in more than 3,500 classrooms in all 50 states. (Photo: Don Emmert /Stringer/Getty Images
From the moment Fatima Morrell read The New York Times' 1619 Project last year, the educator embraced the 100-page magazine special issue on slavery and racism as a professional godsend.
Morrell, an associate superintendent in the Buffalo, New York, school district, where 80% of the 31,200 students are non-white, was inspired by the project's reframing of American history that put the struggles and contributions of black Americans "at the very center" of the nation's self-understanding.
"I just think it really becomes a curriculum of emancipation, a pedagogy of liberation, for freeing the minds of young people," said Morrell, who was involved in the decision to adopt the 1619 Project as part of the district's curriculum.
"Particularly for our black children, it lets them know there actually isn't something wrong with you. We don't need to be self-destructive, to hate ourselves. There actually was an institution of enslavement that really put us 400 years behind in terms of where we are with prosperity."
Since its publication in August, the 1619 Project has been adopted in more than 3,500 classrooms in all 50 states, according to the 2019 annual report of the Pulitzer Center, which has partnered with the Times on the project.
Five school systems, including Chicago and Washington, D.C., have adopted it district-wide. It is mostly being used as supplemental, optional classroom teaching material. By and large, school systems are adopting the project by administrative fiat, not through a public textbook review process.
Even as it is being embraced by schools, the project is facing strong pushback from some leading scholars who say it presents a false version of American history.
They dispute The New York Times' claim that America's true founding date is not 1776, the year the colonies declared independence from Great Britain, but 1619, when 20 to 30 enslaved Africans were brought to Jamestown, Virginia, leading to the creation of a "slavocracy" whose legacy of racism and oppression has been encoded in the nation's DNA and hidden in plain sight.
Gordon Wood, a leading historian of the American Revolution and emeritus professor at Brown University, told RealClearInvestigations the Times material "is full of falsehoods and distortions."
In its current form, without corrections, which the Times has declined to run, the only way to use it in the classroom, he said, would be "as a way of showing how history can be distorted and perverted."
The 1619 Project reflects disputes about both the facts and meaning of American history at a time when the nation is divided by identity politics, including a movement to transform education in colleges and high schools through "ethnic studies," an approach that emphasizes teaching about white oppression of minorities and their resistance to "whiteness."
Proponents of ethnic studies use the term "whiteness" to refer to the political, economic, and cultural power structure imposed by a dominant culture of white Europeans.
Defenders of ethnic studies argue the movement is a necessary corrective to a whitewashed version of history. But critics denounce it as propaganda used to indoctrinate students. And they're troubled by the endorsement of racial and identity-based histories by prestigious institutions such as The New York Times and publicly funded schools.
The project's leader, Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, has declared since the magazine's publication that her goal "is that there'll be a reparations bill passed"—meaning financial reparations for slavery and subsequent racial discrimination. The newspaper editorial board has never officially endorsed such legislation, but several Times columnists and contributing writers have.
The 1619 Project is also a bold departure from traditional journalism that aims to provide readers with impartial information and a range of perspectives, rather than to unilaterally declare whose perspective is and isn't true.
Instead of telling readers it is presenting a controversial view of history, endorsed by a minority of historians, the national newspaper of record declares in the opening pages of the 1619 Project: "It is finally time to tell our story truthfully."
That stance appears to fit into a broader strategy. In a staff meeting in August, Executive Editor Dean Baquet said filtering news through the prism of race is a newsroom goal, according to coverage in Slate.com, with the 1619 Project setting the standard on how it should be done.
"One reason we all signed off on the 1619 Project and made it so ambitious and expansive was to teach our readers to think a little bit more like that," Baquet reportedly said. He added that the Times committed to the 1619 Project "to try to understand the forces that led to the election of Donald Trump."
Through its 18 articles and 15 artistic contributions, the 1619 Project declares that much of American history unfolded from that fateful event in 1619: chattel slavery, Jim Crow, lynching, redlining, incarceration, and urban poverty, as well as legacies not as widely understood, such as obesity.
Its essays, written by a team of mostly African American journalists and historians, argue that modern accounting methods, urban traffic patterns, resistance to adopting universal health care, overconsumption of sugar—and American capitalism itself—are some of the insidious ways that the legacy of slavery shapes our society today.
It contends that no one has a greater claim to this country than African Americans, whose centuries-long struggle for freedom and full citizenship rights redeemed the United States by keeping alive its revolutionary ideals.
With the imprimatur of The New York Times and its partners, this view has migrated quickly from the news pages to the classroom.
With the nonprofit, Washington-based Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting—which is not connected to Columbia University's Pulitzer Prizes—the Times has created reading guides, lesson plans, and extension activities for classrooms.
In January, Buffalo Public Schools became the most recent school system to announce that it was making the 1619 Project a required component of the 7th– through 12th-grade curriculum.
According to the school district, the 1619 Project will help "render a true history of the institution of slavery for all students, a history which is often silenced in mainstream curriculum and textbooks." The Pulitzer Center donated 5,600 copies of the magazine-length 1619 Project for all of its 11th– and 12th-grade teachers and students.
The rate of adoption, in just six months, is noteworthy.
"This is definitely not business-as-usual; it's an unusual event in textbooks and course adoptions," said Fabio Rojas, a sociology professor at Indiana University, Bloomington, and author of "From Black Power to Black Studies: How a Radical Social Movement Became an Academic Discipline."
"The entire school district is saying, 'This is our official supplement.' It's the prestige of having the entire school system saying, 'This is something you should take a look at.'"
Meanwhile, publishing giant Random House plans four 1619-themed books for young readers; its Clarkson Potter imprint is readying a 1619 Project special illustrated edition; and Ten Speed Press is set to publish a "graphic novelization" of the project.
The effort also includes a podcast in five episodes and a kids' section in the Times print edition. A special broadsheet with a story on how slavery is taught in U.S. schools includes a history of slavery depicted in 15 objects as curated by the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
The books will involve The New York Times' creative team behind the 1619 Project, led by Hannah-Jones, an award-winning journalist, who in 2017 received a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant for her reporting about segregation and racism in America's educational systems.
Hannah-Jones, who suggested the 1619 Project to her editors, oversaw its execution. She also wrote the lead essay, "The Idea of America," which now famously asserts the United States' founding ideals of equality and liberty, expressed in the Declaration of Independence, were a "lie" to the Founders who birthed them, but ultimately realized by African Americans who embraced those ideals and fought for them, largely alone.
Hannah-Jones did not respond to RealClearInvestigation's interview requests, but she has spoken extensively about the 1619 Project in recent months. As the project's chief ambassador, Hannah-Jones, has taken to Twitter to explain and defend it against detractors, as well as to challenge their motives and question their credentials.
On a national speaking tour, Hannah-Jones has elaborated on the project's intent and how it should be understood. Her message consistently aims to connect past to present, tracing a moral complicity that she says white America refuses to recognize.
"If you read the whole project, I don't think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations," she told the Chicago Tribune in October.
On the Karen Hunter talk program in December, Hannah-Jones expounded on that theme.
"You cannot read the entire magazine and not come away understanding that a great debt is owed and it's time for this country to pay," she said. "When my editor asks me, like, what's your ultimate goal for the project, my ultimate goal is that there'll be a reparations bill passed."
Hannah-Jones pressed her goal at a University of Chicago event in October, explaining her modus operandi as a journalist.
"I think we really need to question why people are so opposed to making restitution for what was done," she said to applause from the audience.
"I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in," she said. "I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt."
And at an Xavier University event, Hannah-Jones extemporized upon the concept of collective guilt being predicated on the continued enjoyment of present-day economic and social advantages. A century-and-a-half after slavery was abolished, she said, white people continue to benefit and profit from slavery's legacy.
"I'm not expecting that white people should feel guilty about slavery if you didn't enslave anybody yourself," she explained. "But I am saying that you can't pretend that you're free of that legacy. And you can't pretend that you're not benefiting today from that legacy."
"Your work is not to apologize for slavery, though the federal government should," she continued. "But your work is to look that life that you lead now is a direct connection. You inherit the good, but you also inherit the bad. You inherit the debt that is owed."
Ultimately, Hannah-Jones' hope is that the 1619 Project would make it impossible for white people not to see their privileged status in American society. On the Karen Hunter show, she said getting a reparations bill passed may not be a realistic goal, "but it feels more realistic than, like, can we get white Americans to stop being white?"
"So I don't know that this project can get white people to give up whiteness," Hannah-Jones said, "but it can certainly expose for them what whiteness is."
None of this is overtly mentioned in the 1619 Project—Hannah-Jones said that a reparations essay was originally planned but fell through—but she says she is now working on a sequel that will explore what restitution is owed.
In her public appearances, she has said reparations should take the form of cash payments to African Americans as well as more vigorous enforcement of civil rights laws and other social programs.
That racial fatalism and reparations should inform the 1619 Project comes as no surprise to scholars who have studied race in America and responses to racism.
"This is called Afro-pessimism," said Matthew Hughey, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut who is also an adjunct faculty member of the Africana Studies Institute and in the Race, Ethnicity, and Politics program. "There is a whole branch of thought that … racism is fundamental to the economic and political structure of the United States."
Some scholars admire The New York Times' goal of promoting a greater awareness of slavery and racism.
Julia Jordan-Zachery, chair of the Africana Studies Department at UNC-Charlotte, said that the 1619 Project fits in the mold of activist scholarship for social justice.
"Most work that comes out of ethnic studies, and black studies in particular, is about social justice and about equity and about democracy," Jordan-Zachery said. "It's about producing socially functional information, not just providing information for information's sake."
Other historians are concerned that such controversial, outcome-oriented material is being taught in classrooms without the normal vetting required for textbooks.
John Bickford, associate professor of social studies education at Eastern Illinois University, said free material provided by authoritative institutions such as the Times are attractive to schools that are "absolutely cash-strapped" and to teachers who are overworked and have little time to conduct their own research.
"For the most part you have white authors and white teachers dealing with this material," Bickford said. "I would imagine there are a lot of teachers whose first name is Coach and who are far more interested in showing a movie in class."
Still, he has problems with The New York Times' presentation of the material. "One of the problems I see with the 1619 Project is they're trying to get you to adopt a polemic," Bickford said.
Five prominent professors—Victoria Bynum of Texas State University, James McPherson of Princeton University, James Oakes of CUNY, Sean Wilentz of Princeton University, and Gordon Wood of Brown University—first expressed their concerns about the 1619 Project after being contacted by the World Socialist Web Site.
The Trotskyist site has been amassing critiques of the 1619 Project as shoddy history and as an affront to the Marxist view of world history as class conflict, and plans a book on the material, said David North of the site.
Of particular concern was the claim in Hannah-Jones' lead essay that the American Revolution was a war of secession instigated to perpetuate slavery, as if the American Revolution was analogous to the Civil War.
"Conveniently left out of our founding mythology is the fact that one of the primary reasons the colonists decided to declare their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery," Hannah-Jones wrote. "In other words, we may never have revolted against Britain if the founders had not understood that slavery empowered them to do so; nor if they had not believed that independence was required in order to ensure that slavery would continue."
The five then wrote a letter to The New York Times requesting corrections, saying they were dismayed by inaccuracies that "suggest a displacement of historical understanding by ideology."
Among their concerns was the 1619 Project's characterization of President Abraham Lincoln as a white supremacist and assertions that black Americans fought for freedom and civil rights without the support of whites.
The Times responded in a lengthy letter from Times Magazine editor Jake Silverstein, who explained that differences of interpretation of historical facts, based on the work of academic historians, don't rise to the level of a correctable error.
Silverstein said the premise of the 1619 Project is that today's glaring black-white disparities in health care, education, earnings, and other metrics are "a direct result of the unhealed wound created by 250 years of slavery and an additional century of second-class citizenship and white-supremacist terrorism inflicted on black people."
The magazine editor suggested that historians are just catching up to this reality. Without acknowledging that the Times was advancing an unorthodox view held by a minority of academics and theorists, Silverstein asserted that, "Within the world of academic history, differing views exist, if not over what precisely happened, then about why it happened, who made it happen, how to interpret the motivations of historical actors and what it all means."
Separately, a dozen Civil War scholars and political scientists wrote a letter in December to the Times Magazine, but their letter was never published.
The researchers—who teach at Princeton, Yale, Notre Dame, Washington & Lee, Loyola, Villanova, and other universities—published their complaint, and The New York Times' response, independently, in late January in George Washington University's History News Network.
"We are also troubled that these materials are now to become the basis of school curriculums, with the imprimatur of the New York Times," they wrote. "The remedy for past historical oversights is not their replacement by modern oversights."
Hannah-Jones has addressed the critics in public and on Twitter. She said on Twitter that she should have been clearer that the perpetuation of slavery wasn't a universal motive for all American revolutionaries, but a primary motive for many slave-owning patriots nonetheless.
Speaking at Harvard University in December, she said the decision not to credit white abolitionists was a deliberate choice.
"I don't see giving you credit for fighting to end an institution that you created. That's just the way that I think about it," she said. "We have had plenty of stories in 400 years about white heroism. We have given outsize attention to what I would call good white people."
And she said including those details would have blunted the moral force of her narrative: "I think it was important not to give white people that escape when they were reading this."
"This is a bottom-up history about people who never get any credit," she said. "Very intentionally we were creating a counter-narrative."
Historian Gordon Wood told the World Socialist Web Site that the idea of highlighting slavery and the African American experience is a much-needed corrective to past omissions, but the 1619 Project miscasts American slavery as a unique phenomenon rather than a common worldwide practice that had existed for thousands of years and merited no special concern until American colonists began agitating for its abolition.
"In the northern states, the massive movement against slavery was unprecedented in the history of the world," said Wood, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book "The Radicalism of the American Revolution," published in 1993. "So to somehow turn this around and make the Revolution a means of preserving slavery is strange and contrary to the evidence."
"If it just had been confined to that one magazine, we'd just forget about it and it would disappear from our consciousness," Wood told RealClearInvestigations. "But now they're going to work out a real effort to get it into the classrooms.
"And it's got the authority of The New York Times, a powerful institution in our country," he said. "That's what I think is alarming."
For her part, Hannah-Jones has asserted that there is no such thing as objective history, and took pride in the fact that, as reported in the Atlantic magazine, some historians declined to sign their letter.
"What's interesting to me is these scholars who are so worried about the 1619 curriculum going in the schools, I wish I had seen these letters and concerns about the way our children are being taught about slavery right now," she told Henry Louis Gates Jr., the chair of Harvard's Department of African and African American Studies, at the Harvard event.
Gates expressed admiration for the 1619 Project but rebuked Hannah-Jones for some of her choices, including the decision to ignore the role played by African chieftains, who kidnapped blacks for the slave trade.
"Talk about the African world and the slave trade," Gates urged her. "This is something black people don't want to talk about. … This has got to be full disclosure. And we've got to talk about that."
"It's very important not to be politically correct but to be honest about that," Gates said. "Because it doesn't take away the arguments for reparations."
The controversy over the 1619 Project has not caused the Pulitzer Center to rethink its promotion of The New York Times series, said spokesman Jeff Barrus.
"Historical scholarship, like journalism, is often fraught with controversy, as people of good faith can disagree over the meaning of historical facts," Barrus said by email. "We have not seen compelling evidence that the 1619 Project is factually inaccurate—what we have seen are disagreements with the 1619 Project's conclusions regarding what the legacy of slavery means to American democracy and our national identity."
(RealClearInvestigations has a pending unrelated article produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center.)
The 1619 debate is playing out as administrators and educators are introducing the 1619 Project to students who now number in the "tens of thousands," according to the Pulitzer Center annual report's estimate.
Shana Hairston, a high school history teacher at the John Dickinson School in the Red Clay Consolidated School District in Wilmington, Delaware, said the 1619 Project is a rich resource that can be used in a wide variety of classes.
For example, Hairston will be teaching a personal finance class this semester and said she could teach students about how capitalism works by using the 1619 Project essay linking capitalism to slavery.
The Red Clay school system, with more than 16,000 students, received 850 copies of the 1619 Project, said Tawanda Bond, director of the district's Equity and Strategic Partnerships. Teachers will not be required to use the material, Bond said.
Holly Golder, the district's social studies supervisor, said the 1619 Project will help students understand that historians disagree on how to interpret key facts, and that students should not accept statements on authority but investigate for themselves.
"All history is interpretation, no matter what anyone tells you," Golder said.
Other teachers and administrators said they plan to introduce students to the 1619 controversy to get them to think about how history is shaped.
"It provides us an opportunity to make that debate concrete for our students—to let them debate the legitimacy of the 1619 Project," said Edwin Ruiz, director of curriculum and instruction at New Jersey's Asbury Park School District, where 99% of the 1,850 students are non-white.
Morrell, the associate superintendent for the Office of Culturally & Linguistically Responsive Initiatives at Buffalo Public Schools, said the five white historians challenging the accuracy of the 1619 Project represent, to her, "just another form of oppression."
She said that Buffalo teachers won't be prevented from teaching multiple perspectives on the 1619 Project, but they may need permission to do so because they are expected to teach the material that is required in the curriculum.
"We're teaching the district-approved curriculum," Morrell said. "If a teacher wants to bring that [critique of the 1619 Project] in, he or she may have to have a conversation with their director of instruction to see how that instruction aligns and fits in with the larger state of the curriculum."

While the Board of Management has a duty to safeguard the health and safety of pupils when they are engaged in authorised school activities, this does not imply a duty upon teachers to personally undertake the administration of medicines.
The Board of Management requests parents to ensure that teachers be made aware in writing of any medical condition suffered by any children in their class. This information should be clearly recorded on the Enrolment/Admissions Acceptance Form which parents/guardians complete and return to the school when they enroll their child.
In the first instance, the Board of Management has decided that medicines will only be administered in emergency situations.
Where possible the family doctor should arrange for the administration of prescribed medicines outside of school hours.
The medicine should be self-administered if possible, under the supervision of an authorised adult. If the child cannot self-administer, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure that the correct dosage is provided.
Non- prescriptive medicines will neither be stored nor administered to pupils in school.
Procedures to be Followed in Preparation for Emergency Situations.
Prescribed medicines will not be administered in school without the written consent of parents and the specific authorisation of the Board of Management. The parents/guardians of the pupil concerned should write to the Board of Management requesting the Board to authorize a member of the teaching staff to administer the medicine.
The Board of Management, having considered the matter, may authorize a teacher to administer medication to a pupil. If the teacher is so authorized s/he should be properly instructed by the Board of Management. In the event of the authorized teacher being absent, the parent/guardian should not leave the school without speaking with the Principal/Deputy Principal so as to make alternate arrangements.
A teacher should not administer medication without the specific authorization of the Board.
In administering medication to pupils, teachers should exercise the standard of care expected from a reasonable and prudent parent.
The medicine should not be kept by the pupil but in a locked cupboard out of reach of pupils. Certain medicines, such as inhalers used by asthmatic children, must be readily accessible at all times of the school day.
A written record of the date and time of administration must be kept.
No teacher can be required to administer medicine or drugs to a pupil.
If, having sought doctor's advice, it is not possible to rearrange the taking of medicine outside school hours, the parents/guardians should write to the Board to authorize a member of staff to administer the medication in school.
It is the parent's responsibility to check each morning whether or not the authorized teacher is in school.
Where children are suffering from life threatening conditions, parents should outline clearly in writing, what can and can't be done in a particular emergency situation, with particular reference to what may be a risk to the child.
Parents are further required to indemnify the Board of Management and authorised members of staff in respect of any liability that may arise regarding the administration of prescribed medicines in school. The Board of Management will inform the school's insurers accordingly.
Where permission has been given by the Board of Management for the administration of medicine the smallest possible dose should be brought to school, preferably by the parent, with clear written instructions for administration, giving the name of the pupil.
Changes in prescribed medication (or dosage) should be notified immediately to the school with clear written instructions of the procedure to be followed in storing and administering the new medication.

I am trying to build a tree using TreeStore with proxy, but it is not working for me.
What isn't working? Please wrap your code in code tags.
Nothing shows up on the tree.
I was expecting nodes "A", "B", "C"
Is my json format correct? Do I need to autoLoad the treestore?
The treestore should load when a node is expanded. Did you check to see if a request is made?
I didn't see the request for the treedata.js. I don't see any nodes on the tree to expand.
Why isn't my proxy fetching the treedata.js?
Do you have an example where the proxy is fetching a json object from a js file?
Have you tried working with any of the examples?
From a glance, it doesn't look like you've configured the store properly - I don't see any reference to a model or to fields in your code.

Enhanced Utilisation
Taking a look back at another of my Earthmovers Magazine articles, bringing it to life on the internet with alternative photos.
Based in the rural Gloucestershire countryside Galtec Ltd was founded in 1988. The groundwork and civil engineering business was the brainchild of two brothers Terry and Tony Galvin but was initially run by Terry in the early days, due to the fact that Tony already had another job as the director of Heron Homes.
In 1993 Terry was joined full time by his brother Tony and it was around this time that the business really started to expand rapidly. From his time with Heron Homes Tony brought with him a lot of commercial skills and those all-important industry contacts that everybody needs to succeed and from that day on the business just went from strength to strength and continued to do so over the next two decades.
However, there were tough times ahead as sadly in early 2016 Tony passed away due to cancer, then in a double tragedy just 15 months later Terry passed away after suffering a heart attack. As one can imagine this was a terrible shock for everyone concerned with the business. By there nature such events can cause ripples with regards to customers and to all of a sudden not have a direct contact within the business can sometimes create issues.
Long term employee and former Contracts Manager and Production Director Tom Rayer, was put in charge of the day to day running of the business, and it's a testament to Galtec that a large number of their blue-chip housing development clients stood by them and Tom during that difficult transition period, talking about those dark days Tom said, "It was tough, really tough and we faced some difficult times, but we are a strong business, with great people around us and now we continue to get stronger, going from strength to strength and are doing really well".
The company is now run by a board of three directors one of which is Tom, but it remains a family owned and run business with the two brother's wives being the major shareholders.
The company currently employs around 140 employees on the books with anything from 50–60 sub-contractors, so the total workforce fluctuates from around 180–200 at any one time. The work is primarily engaged with groundworks for housing developments but they will look at small civils and construction jobs as and when they arise.
Galtec Ltd pride themselves on keeping a top rate fleet of equipment and are always looking to innovate with the latest kit on the market to make themselves, not only more efficient but also safe. Tom has been looking at site dumpers with interest for the past 4 years, Tom said, "We have previously been running standard forward tipping dumpers and to be honest a lot of them are starting to get tired now. Of course, during the recession, we couldn't invest in new, as like so many in the industry it was a case of just surviving!"
Tom continued, "Once the recession was over, we knew we would need to update some of our dumpers. The cabbed dumpers were starting to come in and we knew it was something we would need to have a look at. However, we didn't want to dive straight in, so we started to do some research to see how they would best suit our needs, before investing a lot of money, bearing in mind we run somewhere in the region of 40 dumpers in various different size ranges, It would not be economically viable to renew the fleet".
"So, my idea was to look at ways that could save us money by ultimately changing the way we run our dumpers on site. Looking at the running hours on our current dumpers we found that most of them were only actually running around 2-3 hours per week! We realised the reality is they are a very expensive commodity when you break it all down".
"So, our concept idea was to invest in some cabbed dumpers and allocate them to dedicated drivers whilst thinning out the actual number of dumpers on the fleet and in effect deploy one cabbed dumper to take the place of 3 standard dumpers while utilising them more efficiently on the job, having them actually working 40 hours a week as opposed to the 2-3 hours work then sitting parked up".
Tom had been inspired by Tony Iles the Managing Director of Wiltshire based Tonic Construction who has been a leading trailblazer for the adoption of cabbed dumpers, whom he kept a close eye on, Tom said, "I had started looking at Wacker Neuson's BMT (Bulk Material Transporter) models that Tonic had invested in, but then they launched the Dual View models and I figured they would be an even better fit for our business, hence we have purchased our first two, which I believe are the first two sold to a groundworks company in the South West, which were supplied by our local Wacker Neuson dealer Equipment One".
The other big factor behind Tom's decision was of course the health and safety aspect. Accidents arising from site dumper misuse have been well documented over the years, not just from rollovers, but also from constantly jumping on and off the dumpers, a risky business at the best of times, so Tom wanted to give his staff the safest dumper solutions available.
Tom said, "Occupational health is a big issue for companies these days, so we wanted to provide our drivers with the very best working environment possible, inside a cab that is fully air conditioned, so whether its hot or cold and wet they will be well looked after".
There will be many further safety benefits in the long term by reducing the number of dumpers and making better use of the Dual View models for example, it cuts down on the amount of site traffic, you can also shift heaped loads as opposed to level loads, as the driver does not need to look over the skip when driving, so more material moved with less movements.
Each DV100 has been fitted with a full telematics system and the dedicated operator has his own passcode which he enters into the immobiliser keypad, thanks to this unique code the office knows who is operating that particular dumper at any given time of day. The machines are also kitted out with Bluetooth phone kits so each gang can call on either dumper to, for example, request a 10-tonne load of type 1 stone or a load of pipe bedding, which the driver will collect and deliver to the relevant part of the site, a move that is really bringing site dumper operations into the 21st century.
Talking about their deployment onto site Tom said, "There still seems to be some confusion about whether the operators can stay in the cab while being loaded with many contractors still insisting that they get out while being loaded, so until it is all clarified I am recommending that they get out".
As far as this author is concerned, this is where we need a massive change in thinking in the industry going forward. It must be safer for the dumper driver to remain seated in the cab, where he can be seen at all times by the excavator operator and thus avoiding the potentially hazardous climbing on and off 100's of times a day, with the associated potential for shin scrapes at best and broken bones at worst. After all, the cab guard at the back of the skip is tested at 2.5 tonnes and there is at least 3ft of clearance from the cab behind it.
Talking about the investment and the future Tom said, "I'm being quite shrewd about it to be honest, with the telematics in place, I now want to prove that my concept is working how I expected it would, I am 99% confident that it will, but I am aware that we will need to change the mentality of the people on site, I think for the first couple of weeks they won't like it, as each gang has become used to having a dumper with them all day, every day, but I think they will soon get used to this way of thinking and in the long term the business as a whole will reap the benefits of this style of dumper utilisation. If it all goes to plan, we will be investing in more of the Dual Views as we replace our existing dumper fleet".
Earthmovers caught up with the first two machines on a Barratt Homes site in Gloucester, where they have been entrusted to two brothers who have been with the company for some time, Charles and Phil Messenger.
Talking about his new mount Charles said, "It's a lovely bit of kit, we have only had them for a few weeks, but I'm very impressed so far, its going to be ideal for the winter, no more sitting out in the open during the winter exposed to the wind and rain, which will be really nice, not only that but they are safe and will save time without a doubt".
Brother Phil echoed his sentiments, "What can I say, it's a fine piece of machinery, I especially like the ability to turn the seat around which is a real game changer, just fantastic for visibility and ideal for all year round working".
Galtec Excavator Fleet
Galtec Ltd run a substantial fleet of around 55 excavators ranging from 2.5 tonne mini's up to 25 tonne mid-range excavators, with the fleet being dominated by machines from the Hitachi and Kobelco stables.
Talking about this side of the plant fleet Tom said, "When I first took over the reins and started to buy machines, I quickly realised that you are spending a lot of money, so I wanted to make sure I was buying the correct equipment. So, what I did was to trial every manufacturers machine's that I could, I gave the demo machines to my most experienced operators who gave me genuine from the field feedback. The Hitachi's and the Kobelco's came out on top, so that's why we invested in them".
Tom continued, "We also run 4 Komatsu's which have been good solid machines too. We don't mind spending the extra money if the kit is right and as we still run as a family business our employees are a massive part of the equation, so we like to think we will go that extra mile for them and as such I do listen to my operators, if they say that's a poor machine, I wouldn't buy it, as at the end of the day a happy operator, is a productive operator so we want to keep them happy. On the other hand, we are running a business so the deal has to be right, but we will always endeavour to get the right machine for the job".

UN Sustainable Goals
Over the last 28 years, our entrepreneur beneficiaries have tackled problems in their communities such as food security, sustainable food production, gender equality, climate change adaptation, low-cost housing, technology, as well as starting other businesses that are advancing sustainable community development.
Together with our partners, donors, and investors, we are creating sustainable impact for Southern Africa's Black disenfranchised communities. Take a look at our impact to date:
2,299,932 Individuals Benefited
$125M Unlocked for Borrowers
$30M Guarantees
$1.9M into Black women-owned businesses
237,000 Microenterprises Assisted
1.9M Jobs Created
65 Coops, Entrepreneurs, & Lenders Supported
121,620 Homes Built
1:4:2 Capital Leverage Ratio*
*Shown as a ratio of the total value of loans made to borrowers vs. total value of guarantees issued by Shared Interest
Shared Interest is proud to have played a major role in capacity building for Southern African Black entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises who have benefited from our model, resulting in sustainable livelihoods, community development, and more equitable nations.
Maya Khonje Stewart of Lenziemill Milling in Malawi
Entrepreneur Maya Khonje Stewart of Lenziemill Milling in Malawi is addressing the lack of affordable protein that contributes to chronic malnutrition, which stunts 37% of Malawian children nationally – and more in rural areas. Fish are the main source of protein but overfishing in Lake Malawi has created price surges, making fish unaffordable for many Malawians. Although aquaculture is a natural solution to the lack of supply, farmers are not interested due to poor productivity and limited income potential.
In response, Maya Stewart is building a supply chain that allows smallholders to produce profitably and respond to overwhelming demand. She is piloting a production model to help farmers with start-up costs and reduce labor, creating high-quality floating feed that will allow fish to grow rapidly and be harvested more often.
Shared Interest guaranteed a $600,000 loan to fund the construction of the company's feed manufacturing facility and purchase inputs from 1,479 smallholder farmers. This work will support 1,500 fishers and transform the accessibility and affordability of quality protein for Malawians.
Sihlangene Bus Company in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
The Sihlangene Bus Company in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, was formed from the union of two taxi cooperatives and the Trans-Tugela bus company. This Black and female cooperative services a rural route awarded by the government as part of a program to bring peace to a region plagued by violence and taxi wars.
Sihlangene required 24 buses to operate effectively and consequently needed a loan. Shared Interest covered 40% of the guarantee, and Sihlangene repaid its asset finance loan of $1,742,218 in less than 3 years — rather than the original 5. The loan enabled the creation of 55 new jobs and services for low-income township residents.
Siyatfutfuka Cooperative in Eswatini
Made up of 27 women, this cooperative secured a loan to begin raising poultry. After the dumping of cheap chicken threatened their investment, they used the remaining funds to diversify into popcorn production, successfully selling to schools and supermarkets countrywide.
Shared Interest is dedicated to serving the most underrepresented entrepreneurs in Southern Africa, thereby advancing six of the core United Nations SDGs.
Core Impact Goals
#1 No Poverty
Promoting financial inclusion through access to traditional financial services to typically underserved businesses, entrepreneurs, and communities.
#5 Gender Equality
Products and services empowering women and girls. Particular emphasis on women-led businesses.

Equality of income and access to economic opportunities across ethnicity, gender, age, and social classes.
#10 Reduced Inequalities
Investment in companies that hire more women and further income equality.
#13 Climate Action
Working with and supporting businesses that promote climate adaptation strategies.
#17 Partnerships to Achieve the Goals
Partnering to create blended finance structures in an effort to change the financial ecosystems of Southern African countries.

Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 22 – TV Review
Well, to be fair, Regina is the one that got me. Bitch.
It's finally over. And for all my venom and bluster against this show over the years, there will be no gravedancing like there was with PLL.
Sure, even right to the very end this episode is full of plot contrivances and last minute twists that come out of nowhere. But amid all that, Once Upon a Time, much like it has for almost its entire run, found the one true thing within it all:
Does being a Wish Realm copy count as being back, though?
I thought that this was going to be a trademark OUaT double episode finale, so let me just start by saying how grateful I am that it wasn't.
Nobody deserves to sit through two hours of OUaT.
I'd say they were due to flashbacks, but that wouldn't be entirely accurate.
You know what would make this already-strained by too many new, unnecessary characters soap opera in its long-past-due seventh season with a half-in-half-out reboot more grounded and relatable?
Time travel. Of course.
Maybe next time he'll actually pull the trigger, though.
My advice about shooting people was for Samdi, but if Gold wants to take it on board, then I can live with that.
What I can't live with is more tedious, empty episodes of OUaT.
And yet somehow I'm not dead. Am I immortal? Or just hyperbolic?
Lipsticks only. No exchanges.
Poor, poor Mulan.
Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 4 – TV Review
What was even the point then?
I think it's time that I came to terms with the fact that Once Upon a Time didn't reboot itself. Fuck me and my misinterpretation of the main cast exodus and pre-release press.
No, baby. This is more like The Vampire Diaries post-Elena.
And that ain't good.
Do you see now why Lost didn't get a seventh season?
Just why, ABC?
