Step Right Up: Ben Lukas Boysen
"How can I make a programmed piano – or basically a piano that I never really touched, that I never saw or that I never recorded myself – how can I make that feel human and interesting?"
Words: Mark Carry, Photography: Claudia Gödke
The Berlin-based composer, producer and sound designer Ben Lukas Boysen represents the prestigious Erased Tapes label's newest signing with the scintillating sophomore full-length release of 'Spells'. The German studio composer masterfully crafts a deeply moving sound world of ambient, electronic and modern-classical textures as programmed piano pieces are fused with live instruments (drums, cello, harp and an intricate array of echoes, delays and compressors), merging sound design and music to become one beguiling stratosphere of mesmerizing sound.
On the sleeve notes of Laurie Spiegel's seminal work 'The Expanding Universe', the American composer discusses the great advantage of computers: "Music consists of patterns of sound. One of the computer's greatest strengths is the opportunity it presents to integrate direct interaction with an instrument and its sound with the ability to compose musical experiences much more complex and well designed than can be done than can be done live in one take." Journeying through the infinite beauty and meticulously crafted sound collages captured on 'Spells', Boysen has composed complex musical experiences that combines the controllable digital world and the often unpredictable aspects of live improvisation. The remarkable achievement of 'Spells' is the hugely humanised sound – and rawest of human emotions – that is emitted from these programmed piano pieces that floats in the ether between the blurred lines of electronic and organic spheres. Undoubtedly, the source or origin of the German composer's work is secondary to the sprawling emotion and deeply affecting nature of 'Spells'' highly innovative and compelling body of work.
One of the record's most formidable moments arrives during 'Golden Times 1' – the album's longest cut and perhaps centrepiece – which is built upon a delicate piano-led melody that echoes the solo piano works of Nils Frahm and Peter Broderick among others. Later, heart-wrenching strings are melded together before a euphoric cascade of energy and emotion is transmitted amidst electronic walls of sound that forms the towering counterpoint to the aching bliss of ambient pulses (think 'Looped' by Kiasmos inter-woven with Nils Frahm's 'Says').
In the same way as two distinct movements are composed for 'Golden Times' ('Golden Times 2' is a slowed-down neo-classical-infused-electronic tour-de-force recalling the likes of Scottish duo Boards of Canada), 'Nocturne 3' and 'Nocturne 4' finds the rich narrative of Boysen's previous LP, 'Gravity' developed further. The brooding strings of 'Keep Watch' shares gorgeous remnants of A Winged Victory For The Sullen such is the unfathomable beauty that permeates the ebb and flow of neon-lit skylines and the gradual motion of the sea waves encapsulated within the soaring music. Indeed, 'Spells' is laden with a beating heart that awaits your every lost thought and faded dream.
'Spells' is out this Friday, 10th June on Erased Tapes Records.

Interview with Ben Lukas Boysen.
Congratulations on the sublime new record 'Spells'. I'm sure it has taken considerable effort and time to program all the piano parts in particular?
Ben Lukas Boysen: Yes, a little, it actually doesn't take as long as it would take me to play it [laughs], it takes a while but I can't really play that well. So I needed to find a way to make that work otherwise and the programming is a very comfortable way of doing that. But it's mostly the other musicians involved – they were a lot faster with everything because they are all very good instrumentalists. Most of the things were done pretty fast – it only took two years to get the piano stuff together and then the rest was faster.
Would the piano parts always come first and then the instrumentation of drums, harp and so on come after?
BLB: It depends actually. The way I record drums, I go into the studio with the drummer and I just hand him an idea and he starts jamming – I mean just like a track idea and he starts improvising. Most of the time (80% of the time), I remove my track afterwards and write something new for the drums and that's how most of the tracks – with drums at least – come together. There was a certain idea at the beginning and it was all removed and something completely new was written underneath it. Hearing other musicians work normally inspires me a lot and gives me new ideas of what I want to do with it. So most of the time there is nothing really pre-written; it's very subject to change there.
I must say 'Golden Times 1' – and I love also how there are two different movements with the second towards the end -it's amazing how it morphs into the more electronic and as the piece extends, the piece builds continually. It really is wonderful how it develops.
BLB: Thank you so much. Right now as we speak I'm at a point where it's very, very hard for me to judge the album. It's very flattering and nice to hear that it seems to work because right now it's this hunk of work that's passed me. Musicians will tell you they need to get a distance from their work before they can actually enjoy it again.
Like 'Golden Times', I love how there are also two different movements of 'Nocturne' and it's wonderful to see – and hear – the different variations between those pieces?
BLB: Indeed, that is a fun concept actually. It's normally only heavy drums and a sad piano theme, like that's the only restriction and everything else is fine. There's the first two pieces ['Nocturne 1' and 'Nocturne 2'] from my previous album 'Gravity' and it just developed, there was never really a plan. I liked how this worked so I do three more. There will probably be two more on the next one to close the trilogy or something [laughs].
You set up your own studio in Berlin around ten years ago. That sounds fascinating too because you're obviously involved with so much projects from sound design where your own two studio albums are one part to the overall picture really.
BLB: That is true, the albums are personally at least, the most important one. The sound design and commission work is what pays the bills and what puts the food on the table. For the albums, you could never take that much time with a commercial project than you can with an album. You just sit down and take time and don't do anything but that for a while. And in that time that it takes to make an album – the way I wanted it to be – I would be completely broke and on the street by the time it finished. I am very happy that I'm allowed to work in a craft that where music pays my bills; I feel incredibly privileged. The sound design was always part of it but I always try to make sound design musical and music more sound design: to find something within there. It's hard to explain but they should become one eventually and this is very hard to hear on 'Spells' at least. But on the previous stuff – all the releases I did under HECQ – this approach is much more obvious there because it's very electronic. But for my solo stuff it's the same, ultimately I want to merge sound design and music into one.
I'd love for you to discuss your early memories of growing up with music? I presume you began playing the piano at a young age and progressed from there?
BLB: That is true although I was never really an instrumentalist in that way. I come from a musical family – my mother was an opera singer and vocal coach later on in her life and my father was an actor – so music was always very present and always a very important topic, and always being quite eclectic about it, my parents were and still are.
I started playing guitar and piano but I noticed this is not where I will be good at. It is more the abstract and programming part – the meta level of music – for example like 'Spells' and 'Gravity' are good examples: how can I make a programmed piano – or basically a piano that I never really touched, that I never saw or that I never recorded myself – how can I make that feel human and interesting? And how well that worked I guess is still to be seen when the album is out [laughs].
Well quite a few people – pianists actually – asked me how did I record the piano and I explained that I did not at all, it all comes from a machine. And their reactions were very interesting from amazed to almost disappointed and every reaction was in there; it was very funny really. There is a certain value system behind it like some people might value the result even less once they know that it's not recorded as in no live piano. I thought that's very interesting how you get this value system behind it or why is it that your perception tells you this is better because this is live or not live. That's what I meant with meta level like it's not only listening to a record, it's also as a producer or as a musician questioning what is actually important for you during the production process and also when you listen to an album and why it might be more or less worth to you when it is done.
For example, I never sat down with the musicians in one studio at a time; they are all scattered either in Berlin or elsewhere in the world, and always recorded on their own almost. I mean I was in the studio with the drummer [Achim Farber] but the cellist [Anton Peisakhov] did his own thing and the harpist Lara [Somogyi] she is in LA so we were just bouncing off ideas really and then I merged them together here on my own. That's also very interesting because there is a lot less life about this album than people might think [laughs] or at least how it sounds and that is done on purpose. It is probably without the listener knowing, a little challenge to question your perception.
As a listener listening to 'Spells' for example, overall there is a hugely humanised sound where you feel it's very much an organic world that you wouldn't think for a second was manipulated in any way.
BLB: Yeah that's very interesting because that is how it should sound. It's not an active act of deception or anything. I mean to make it sound human and very much alive was a goal but especially because everybody who starts to make computer music will have heard the phrase 'oh so it's not actual music' when you work with a computer quite often and I've heard that many, many times. I mean computer musicians and electronic composers are absolutely established and are artists and a group of composers in their own right but still most of the people who are not actively involved in it they still have this preconception of this is not actual music and for some reason that I wanted to contribute a bit to that discussion saying that you can combine these things wonderfully. It's quite tricky to sync a VST piano or any synths that are not improvised or played live to an actually live-played instrument because the moment you put a human being behind an instrument it will have its own very human factor and it will be quite faraway from any quantised digital world. This is very thrilling, I could do that for at least three more albums, it's really fun.
There is a lot of chance and accidents in the sense that it is not set out too finely that goes inside the process too?
BLB: Indeed, it's like recording mistakes, I would normally leave them in. I really like that, it's not only to enhance the live feeling but I just normally really like what live mistakes and outtakes do to a piece of music like don't over-polish it, that was my motto.
There is a lovely parallel between you and the other Erased Tapes artists like Nils Frahm and Kiasmos particularly where you're certainly on a similar wavelength.
BLB: I hope so; I mean this is a big comparison so thanks a lot for thinking that way [laughs]. The mastering and mixing was Nils and he obviously added a lot of his input. It was very important for me that he is very free to do his thing and to work these little details and the extra twenty percent that this album would need – I mean twenty percent to say the least. When we were done after the two days, I really re-discovered the album and noticed things that I didn't notice before and that's why these sessions are always very helpful. He did that already on 'Gravity' and mostly because 'Gravity' didn't sound like I wanted it to sound at all when I went into the mastering session and he really did something amazing there. 'Spells' was much closer to what I wanted it to be and he also adapted that fantastically so it's an amazing job that he did. I mean he is adding a certain feel to it as well that makes it fit in with the rest of the bunch as well.
I wonder for the live performance it must be very exciting too because I presume the live set-up will transform the songs again even further?
BLB: Indeed, but that's the trickiest part so far [laughs]. I'm really trying to figure out how to do that; well basically set up a band and come up with a concept. I actually never anticipated playing 'Spells' live. I mean I'm a studio composer and producer – not even a musician – so I have not much experience playing live other than a couple of DJ gigs back in the day and I'm working on something but it will take a while. It's going to be a bit tricky – for me at least – I'm very critical with what I present to the outside world and so the live show needs to be very impressive, it needs to be something else. It's not enough to go there and play on a stage with a laptop, there needs to be a concept behind it otherwise it's not going to be the experience I want it to be. That's why it might take a bit of time but you are absolutely right; listening to the layers of the tracks gives me a lot of ideas on how to solve that and how to go about the live idea – it's very inspiring but it's also very challenging, especially if you don't really have a lot of experience in that area. It's exciting times and I will spend a good portion of this year on figuring out how to do this.
I love how 'Keep Watch' is more rooted in the modern classical world but I love how the little layers of percussion are added throughout, especially during the later stages.
BLB: The cellist had to accompany himself. It's a piece written for three cellos actually and he had to play all the three layers himself, the poor boy and he did an amazing job I think. He told me – and I wasn't aware of – it's very hard for a cellist to accompany himself and not in real-time; like you record one layer, then you record the second layer and then you record the third layer. And apparently it's very hard to accompany yourself because of the re-intonation stuff like musician stuff that I wasn't aware of [laughs]. He did an amazing job and for the live show it would have to be at least three cellos and this is one of the challenges.
Most of the live stuff is a logistic challenge because it's easier for me to resolve that in a studio setting, you can basically come up with an entire string ensemble with just one musician in a studio but in a live scenario it has to be actually three musicians at least and so far, for only one track. So I would to need to write a bit more of that so it would make more sense to have three designated musicians there. I really enjoyed 'Keep Watch' because it is so focused on the strings and it's quite a challenge to actually compose that way, it's interesting.
You have a previous version of 'Sleepers Beat Theme' done already am I right to say?
BLB: Absolutely, it was the score for a short movie for at least half of it, the other half was done by Jon Hopkins. He heard the demo version of this track when the movie was done a couple of years ago almost and asked if he could use that for his Late Night Tales album, which was obviously a gigantic honour. It was a demo version because at that time I didn't have all the tracks recorded and so it's an alternative version but the album one is maybe my preferred version because it fits in better with the sound of the album. But the Late Night Tales version or the short movie version – I don't want to say demo version – I just like that on 'Spells' it blends in much better with the sound of the album. So that was done two years ago and it really never left me. I don't remember exactly where the name comes from; it had something to do with the movie but since it's a completely beat-less track, I'm not exactly sure where the name comes from anymore [laughs].
Would there be very important or defining albums for you, Ben?
BLB: There were a huge amount of wonderful albums absolutely that inspired me drastically through my youth and especially all the techno stuff and all the Boards of Canada stuff. I'm not sure who today in this kind of music did not listen to that or was not inspired by it, it's really interesting. Over the last seven or eight years, I have noticed that if something has really inspired me it's ancient: it could be Bach or a lot of blues and jazz records and also a lot of choral works; very basic, almost primitive choral works (it could be from Germany or from Bulgaria).
Here are five albums (in no specific order) I think are utterly important for me (and everyone ;))
01 Esbjörn Svensson Trio – Seven Days Of Falling
02 The Caretaker – An Empty Bliss Beyond This World
03 Max Loderbauer – Transparenz
04 Thomas Köner – Teimo
05 Deaf Center – Vintage Well 7″

Fractured Air 33: Saccade (A Mixtape by Loscil)
Loscil's Scott Morgan has been responsible for some of the most captivating and stunningly beautiful ambient creations over the past fifteen years. Across a compelling body of work (beginning with the 2001 classic 'Triple Point') – the majority of which has been released on the immense Chicago-based imprint Kranky – Vancouver-based Morgan has developed his own unique style of textural rhythms that ceaselessly blur the lines of ambient, techno, drone and modern-classical. The recently released 'Sea Island' marks the latest chapter in Loscil's explorations through sound that lies at the intersect between nature and humanity.

Ten Mile Stereo
Holden "The Inheritors" (Border Community)
James Holden's incredible follow-up to his debut LP "The Idiots Are Winning" has been some seven years in the making. Heralded by both Four Tet's Kieran Hebdon and Caribou/Daphni's Dan Snaith of late, the album comprises a set of genre-defying tracks and is destined to remain at "classic" status for a long, long time to come.
Jon Hopkins "Immunity" (Domino)
"Immunity" is the fourth solo album from Jon Hopkins and is destined to catapult the Eno collaborator to international recognition. The final epic title-track features King Creosote (who collaborated with Hopkins on the sublime "Diamond Mine") and leaves the listener marvel at what Hopkins has created here.
Lee Noble "Ruiner" (Bathetic)
My first time coming across the wonderful Bathetic label – based in Asheville, NC – was through Angel Olsen's classic LP "Half Way Home". Lee Noble's "Ruiner" is another classic belonging to the label, comprising unique ambient/pop songs recalling Radiohead, Grouper's Liz Harris and richly evocative ambient textures as found on pioneering labels such as Chicago's Kranky label.
Camera Obscura "Desire Lines" (4AD)
Glasgow's beloved Camera Obscura released yet another classic indie-pop album this year – lead by the singularly beautiful voice of Tracyanne Campbell – 'Desire Lines' is the band's eagerly awaited follow-up to gorgeous "My Maudlin Career" (also on 4AD). As always, Campbell's songwriting is pitch-perfect, while the song arrangements are sumptuously layered echoing Spector's wall of sound (pristine production by Tucker Martine). Features guests Paul Brainard (Richmond Fontaine) on pedal steel, Neko Case and Jim James on backing vocals.
Denseland "Like Likes Like" (m=minimal)
Berlin-based electronic label m=minimal have been quietly releasing an intriguing string of albums over the past year. "Like Likes Like" by Denseland (featuring Hanno Leichtmann, Hannes Strobl and David Moss) is a strangely compelling array of darkly textured, minimal compositions featuring the singular vocals of David Moss.
Califone "Stitches" (Dead Oceans)
Indie favourites Califone return with the hugely anticipated "Stitches" LP this Autumn on the Dead Oceans label. The title-track has so far been uploaded – a beautifully fragmented and fragile song – as always lead by Tim Rutili's stunning voice and masterful lyrics. The album was written and recorded across Southern California, Arizona and Texas and is available on 3 September.
Hiss Golden Messenger "Haw" (Paradise of Bachelors)
'Haw' is one of the year's finest albums and another milestone release in Hiss Golden Messenger's stellar discography to date. As always, the songwriting by M.C. Taylor (encompassing songs of both struggle and pain as well as songs of joy and hope) is to the forefront while songs effortlessly fuse traditions of folk, blues, soul and gospel. Follow-up to the equally sublime "Poor Moon", "Haw" is HGM's fourth album.
Colin Stetson "New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light" (Constellation)
Part three in the "New History Warfare" series, gifted composer Colin Stetson is fast-becoming independent music's crowning jewel. Long-known and admired for his astonishing array of collaborative work (Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, TV on the Radio to name only a few), Stetson's reputation as a solo composer has quickly earned himself the reputation for one of contemporary music's true leading artists.
Laurie Spiegel "The Expanding Universe" (Unseen Worlds / Philo)
While we had the great honour of co-presenting Thrill Jockey's Mountains for their concert in Cork, one of our highlights was listening to Koen Holtkamp talk so fondly about Spiegel's seminal masterwork "The Expanding Universe". It's hard to imagine these recordings were made in 1980 as they sound as fresh and as innovative today. The lovingly expanded reissue from last year is a work of true beauty and confirms "The Expanding Universe" as one of the finest (and most influential) records ever made.
Julianna Barwick "Nepenthe" (Dead Oceans)
The wait is finally nearly over for Julianna Barwick's follow-up to her much-celebrated "The Magic Place", released in 2011 on Asthmatic Kitty. So far, "Pacing" (released as a limited edition 7″) and "One Half" have been made available, whetting the appetite for what will surely be one of the year's most defining albums. Whereas Barwick's "The Magic Place" was recorded in her Brooklyn bedroom studio, "Nepenthe" was recorded in Iceland with Alex Somers (Sigur Rós, Jónsi). "One Half" is arguably Barwick's most beautiful work yet. LP available 20 August.

Written by J.F. Pirro
In northern Germany, the root's called meerrettich, or "more radish." But meer also means "sea" in German, and the root originally grew by the Black Sea. In England, though, meer has been interpreted as "mare," an adult female horse. In Sweden, horseradish—an odd name since it has little to do with radishes or horses—is called pepparrot or pepperoot.
In Austria, it's called kren—meaning to cry. Now, that fits.
In the Lehigh Valley, and throughout the Northeastern seaboard and Mid-Atlantic region, we often call and spell horseradish Kelchner's, a brand that made Bucks County home since 1938, but now Allentown since a bold expansion move in 2014. Today, the business' "hot" spot couldn't be more local—a significant factor: Curtailing the time the horseradish root goes from ground to shelf to table is key to its heat and flavor.
It's not the root itself that's hot, though. When bitten or ground, isothiocyanates are enzymatically hydrolyzed to yield allyl isothiocyanate, a natural defense mechanism that makes an intruder's eyes water and nose burn.
"It goes wild and shoots off," says Eric Rygg, the 38-year-old president of Wisconsin-based Silver Spring Foods, the parent company of Kelchner's. "When it's real fresh, it's almost too hot. A week, or a month, down the line, it hits the sweet spot, so we err on the side of starting too hot."
Kelchner's, which was acquired in 2009, is known for its bite. Even its cocktail sauce is sharp. Shipped from Allentown it's faster to the shelf. In demand, it doesn't sit long. "One thing's certain, once it's processed and stored, it begins losing heat," he says. "Horseradish isn't wine: It doesn't get better with age." Rygg, formerly the fourth-generation family-owned condiment company's vice president of sales and marketing, and before that Kelchner's president, calls it "complementary heat." Horseradish pairs well with seafood, roast beef, and prime rib. It conforms to the get-healthy trend: It's a natural no cholesterol, no-fat, and gluten-free boost.
A year-round condiment, by June and July—National Horseradish Month—seashore sales skyrocket. The fall brings tailgating and its needs for flavor. Sales soar in November and December for the holidays, then pick up again for Easter and Passover celebrations. May starts grilling season.
Allentown, where 10 employees run the almost 20,000-square-foot refrigerated warehouse (double the size in Dublin) and load five brand-new delivery trucks daily, is an ideal distribution hub. There's easy access to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., and increasingly the entire Northeast market as Kelchner's, in particular, pushes product farther north into New England and farther south into the Carolinas. "The move has helped us grow," Rygg says.
He's also moved to Wisconsin to get closer to his own and the company's roots, returning to the "mother ship," says Rygg, whose great-grandfather founded Huntsinger Farms, Inc., the world's largest grower and processor of horseradish, and Silver Spring Foods in 1929. This is its 90th year in business.
Last fall, Silver Spring Foods, which maintains 284 employees, announced a goal to exceed 100 million pounds of horseradish production a year in promoting and appointing Rygg along with Mark Scholze, vice president of sales, and Aimee Pernsteiner, chief financial officer. The company processes, packages, and markets horseradish along with other specialty mustards and quality food products to retail, food service, private label, and industrial customers.
Categorically, Silver Spring shares some of the same product lines as Kelchner's, but there are different formulas, geographic audiences and flavor profiles. For example, Silver Spring's cocktail sauce is a tomato paste base. For Kelcnher's, it's a ketchup-base. In supermarkets, Silver Spring is displayed in dairy sections; Kelchner's is housed in seafood displays. Silver Spring's top seller is its horseradish, and its No. 2 is its Beer'n Brat mustard; Kelchner's No. 1 seller is cocktail sauce, and No. 2 is horseradish.
It also owns the Bookbinder's brand, that of the famed culinary family of restaurateurs in Philadelphia where Rygg met his wife and graduated with an MBA from Saint Joseph University's food marketing program. Silver Springs has positioned those brands as "restaurant-style quality at home."
The parent company also buys and sells value-added, non-competitive complimentary seafood condiment products, an extension that's pushed product to some 500 different SKUs (100 of which are horseradish-based), all in an effort to serve the seafood market and make it easier for the public to purchase and prepare seafood. "We serve a lot of captains," says Rygg. "Let them focus on fresh fish, and let us worry about everything else that goes around that. For consumers, one challenge to seafood is the preparation, but condiments make it easier."
Exciting new initiatives loom as well to attract younger buyers, like the recent three-year deal with Lambeau Field, home of the NFL's Green Bay Packers, to serve Silver Spring Foods' horseradish where bloody Marys are sold in the stadium.
Rygg's grandfather, Edwin Bartusch might not have thought of that. A pilot in World War II, he was carrying on the side business that his father,
Ellis Huntsinger, started while selling lightning rods. Literally, he flew product around the country. But in 1972, on one of those flights with his wife, Betty, a cabin fire led to a crash in which they both died. At the time, Eric's mother, Nancy Bartusch, who remains CEO and board chair, was studying for her MBA at Stanford. She was 22. She partnered with a food industry executive and family friend, Bill Nelson Jr., who left Kraft. Eventually, Eric, the first family member to run the company since then, says, "Horseradish became the family's lightning rod."
Allentown may be perfect as a distribution hub, but it's not necessarily prime for growing your own horseradish. It'll grow, but not well. You'll get leaves, but as Rygg explains, "We want a root."
His growing fields—9,000 acres in Wisconsin and Minnesota—follow a systematic, proven field rotation of corn, soybean, oats, and alfalfa every five years that serves to better prepare fields for growing horseradish. "We need 9,000 acres to support 900 acres of horseradish at a given time," he explains.
In 2020, those fields will host Wisconsin Technology Farm Days, the state's largest agricultural show. Think Pennsylvania Farm Show. The three-day outdoor event in July—again, perfectly timed for National Horseradish Month—figures to attract 40,000-60,000 visitors.
Successful agricultural practice, then, ends in what Rygg calls "a borderline cultism" with a line like Kelchner's. "People love the brand," he says, "but for us, it's simple: We're a condiment company, and we want to make the world a tastier place—one roast beef sandwich at a time."

WHAT'S IN A LABEL?
A possible redesign of Kelchner's old-fashioned, plain-Jane c. 1938 bottle labels? Parent company Silver Spring Foods President Eric Rygg says, "We'd be hanged out to dry."
Instead, last year's introduction of five new Kelchner Food Products seafood marinades offered a solution and allowed for creativity—a shore scene, driftwood backdrop label with a themed fish or shellfish silhouette, reminding consumers that its products are primarily produced with seafood buyers in mind.
"Kelchner's is the authentic look that we want to remain untouched with the original lineup, while the marinades have a new refreshed look using the Kelchner Food Products logo," explains Marketing Supervisor Jeni Path.
There's plenty possibility for boosting taste, too, in Kelchner-brand Pineapple Teriyaki recommended for ahi tuna, pork and stir-fry, Shrimp Scampi (shrimp and scallops), Lemon Dill (fish, chicken, potatoes), Honey Ginger (salmon, chicken, veggies) and Horseradish Remoulade (crab cakes, fish tacos and Louisiana-style po' boys).
Creative uses? Try the Horseradish Remoulade as a dip for French fries, as a topping on roast beef or for a twist in your own signature potato salad.

Healthcare Project of the Year 2020
Weightlifter Client wins Healthcare Project of the Year Award
Darwin Group have received recognition for their recent work for the NHS, by using offsite modular technology at a number of hospitals during lockdown- in the form of the prestigious "Healthcare Project of the Year 2020", issued by Offsite Construction Awards.
The 2020 Offsite Construction Awards received over 200 entries from companies who are at the forefront of the industry in terms of innovation and expertise.
Darwin Group initially secured the development for Nightingale wards to be built for three hospitals at Wigan, Barnet and Wolverhampton. The first ward to be installed was at Wigan Hospital, which consisted of 36 modules being delivered by Weightlifter Haulage and Logistics, and installed over a 36-hour period.
18 vehicles were used on this operation, with the modules being taken on and off the vehicles by crane, and using Wigan Football Club as a local staging area for the loads to be called in..
Prior to the install Weightlifter carried out a full access and route survey to ensure a smooth delivery, requiring input from the local authorities and Police, an essential part of ensuring a prompt and efficient instal.
The Wigan Hospital ward project was completed 3 days ahead of schedule, with patients arriving on the ward only 31 days after work started.
Barnet Hospital was next and of a similar size to the Wigan ward, and was completed in the same time scale using the famous Pinewood studios as the local holding area.
Wolverhampton hospital was larger still, with 56 modules forming the building, and was installed over a 4-day period, with Darwin and Weightlifter operating 24 hours a day. Due to the proximity of this hospital to the Darwin Group in Shrewsbury, Weightlifter were able to operate without a holding area, and could shuttle directly between the manufacturing plant and the hospital.
Since the completion of the above wards Weightlifter have revisited Wigan Hospital with a further 80 modules and are currently working with Darwin Group on 280 modules for Cardiff Hospital.
Weightlifter Haulage and Logistics is a high-quality supply chain partner for the offsite construction /modular buildings industry, and are experienced in helping to plan, project manage and deliver (on time) across the installation. As part of the Brit European Group, an international award-winning specialist road transport and logistics group, they have 100 years of innovation and experience to call upon.

Q: IBM-MQ Create MQ Destination Using spring boot and IBM MQ i need to send message to MQ.
In My Spring boot application i have registered MQQueueConnectionFactory as below.
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableJms
public class MainApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new SpringApplicationBuilder(MainApplication.class).web(WebApplicationType.NONE).run(args);
        logger.info("init completed...");
    }

    @Bean
    public MQQueueConnectionFactory queueConnectionFactory() {
        MQQueueConnectionFactory queueConnectionFactory = new MQQueueConnectionFactory();
        try {
            queueConnectionFactory.setTransportType(WMQConstants.WMQ_CM_CLIENT);
            queueConnectionFactory.setHostName(host);
            queueConnectionFactory.setChannel(channel);
            queueConnectionFactory.setPort(port);
            queueConnectionFactory.setQueueManager(queueManager);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
        }
        return queueConnectionFactory;
    }

}

And i have destination resolver as below.
 @Component
 public class IBMWebSphereMqDestinationResolver extends
  DynamicDestinationResolver implements DestinationResolver {

@Override
public Destination resolveDestinationName(Session session, String destinationName, boolean pubSubDomain) throws JMSException {
    Destination destination = super.resolveDestinationName(session, destinationName, pubSubDomain);
    if (destination instanceof MQDestination) {
        MQDestination mqDestination = (MQDestination) destination;
    }
    return destination;
}

}

I am using JmsTemplate to send message to MQ.
@Service
public class MqServiceImpl implements MqService {

    private final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());

    @Autowired
    private JmsTemplate jmsTemplate;

    @Autowired
    private MQDestination destination;

    @Handler
    @Override
    public void sendMessage(String textMessage) {
        logger.info("textMessage {} ", textMessage);
        logger.info("destination {}  ", destination);
        jmsTemplate.convertAndSend(destination, textMessage);
    }

}

However when i try to start the application i am getting MQDestination' that could not be found.
service.impl.MqServiceImpl required a bean of type 'com.ibm.mq.jms.MQDestination' that could not be found.

The injection point has the following annotations:
    - @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)

Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'com.ibm.mq.jms.MQDestination' in your configuration.

Shouldn't spring try to call DestinationResolver ?
If not how do i register destination for IBM MQ?

A: You are defining an DestinationResolver bean, but injecting an MQDestination bean. This is why you get the error. You should inject the DestinationResolver and call setDestinationResolver on the JmsTemplate.
But the JmsTemplate resolves the destinations dynamically. This works as well:
public void sendMessage(String textMessage) {
    String destination = "MY.QUEUE";
    jmsTemplate.convertAndSend(destination, textMessage);
}

HBM Welcomes Its Newest Technology Team Member: Dan Kelly, IT Project Manager
We are pleased to announce that Dan Kelly joined HBM in June as IT Project Manager, reporting to Mike Chill. Discover why he chose to be part of our team, how he views IT as a competitive edge — and the three best practices he relies on for successful technology integration and adoption.
Please tell us a little about your professional background.
DK: For the past 18 years, I've worked in IT consulting. During most of that time — 12 years to be exact — my career has focused on project management, particularly for long-term strategic programs. As a result, I've enjoyed helping businesses achieve strategic goals. I led several transformation teams supporting acquisitions and mergers in the financial sector, as well as numerous sustaining programs in the manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and agriculture industries.
How were you introduced to HBM, and what interested you about the company?
DK: I have a long-standing relationship with Adaptive Solutions Group, an IT staffing firm based in St. Louis — that's how I learned about the opportunity at HBM. Here's something that really appealed to me: HBM is very entrepreneurial in its approach and spirit. Its executive management team trusts the employees' talents and empowers them to act. There's also a clear alignment of IT and leadership — and HBM focuses on helping its portfolio companies adopt that structure too, so tech strategies can truly support business priorities.
I was impressed by HBM's drive towards operational excellence and its ethical approach, as well as its sense of responsibility to the community. All of those things made HBM something to be excited about during the interview process.
What challenges and opportunities do you foresee in your new role?
DK: The ongoing and rapid changes in technology, as well as the uncertainty of business landscapes, create the potential to develop solutions that will provide operational efficiencies within our portfolio companies. Those efficiencies will help support HBM's vision to become a world-class investment and management company.
System integrations can be challenging at a single company, let alone several companies. What are your go-to best practices for ensuring successful integration and adoption of new technology?
DK: First, have a holistic view of your landscape. Understand the upstream and downstream implications of where you are heading and what's been proposed. Second, have a realistic vision — begin with where you are, not where you think you should be. Too often, integration projects run into trouble because they attempt to deliver the final product with all the bells and whistles at one time. In most cases you can work iteratively, delivering your core first and then migrating new functionality in more manageable sections. Third, document everything.
What are the three technology developments that will positively impact the manufacturing industry within the next three years? And what excites you about the IT Project Management field?
DK: In the coming years, I expect the manufacturing industry to benefit even more from 3D printing tools, RFID technology and further integration of IoT throughout the supply chain. One of HBM's portfolio companies, Tru-Flex, has already improved employee productivity by using 3D printing for prototyping, among other things.
As for what excites me about my field: My drive comes from knowing that the efforts I lead today have tangible benefits to our organization that will provide alignment, allowing us to capitalize on the opportunities presented tomorrow.

Cardi B shows her good mannered side
One of the most famous rappers in the world, Cardi B blew up the music scene when she dropped her single "Bodak Yellow" in 2017. After that, she quickly became a household name, delighting fans with her unabashed personality, her bold and sexy style, her authentic candor, and her ability to drop quotable Cardi B wisdom seemingly every other sentence — lest we forget her epic and uncensored Instagram rants.
When Cardi B first appeared on Love & Hip Hop: New York and told the world she wanted to rap, a collective eye roll spread across the faces of viewers considering that just about everyone who appears on any iteration of Love & Hip Hop has yet to use the show as a trampoline into the rare air of success in the music industry. But the charismatic former stripper from the Bronx with a penchant for a witty one-liner floored the universe when she dropped her magnetic "Bodak Yellow" and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three consecutive weeks.
Despite the success of the song (and her follow up "Bartier Cardi"), the question remained whether she was the female version of J-Kwon or if this was the start of something new. Fast forward ten months and Cardi B's debut album Invasion of Privacy crashed into our social media feeds Thursday night and dominated conversation with the 25-year-old's debut album.
Look, Cardi B wants you to know that she wasn't supposed to be here. But now that she is, her story is going to be told. And you're going to hear it. You will certainly feel it. And you most definitely won't forget it. Cardi's life has been an open book for the most part. Between her Love & Hip Hop tenure, her social media presence and her music, her cards are put on the table. The authenticity is undeniable and she has no problem letting you know what has changed since her come up.
If Cardi B's aim was to see her lyrics flood the Internet in a variety of memes and Instagram captions, then the mission was most certainly accomplished. No less than an hour after the album dropped, social media turned into a tsunami of Cardi B quotes. And there's a little something for everyone to use. Here are a few choice lines that immediately jumped out.
"Shorty said it's all hers, why her thighs don't match?" ("She Bad")
"Boujee, bad and thick, I could buy designer, but this Fashion Nova fit" ("She Bad")
"Leave his text on read, leave his balls on blue, Put it on airplane mode so none of those calls come through" ("I Do")
"it's gonna hurt me to hate you but loving you is worse" ("Be Careful")
Despite her fame and lyrics her etiquette has definitely come into question more than once, this video may soften your heart towards Cardi B.

In a world where snapping a photo seems so common practice, I love to be able to provide my clients with great, thought out images, showcasing their food, products or services in the best light possible helping them further promote themselves.
I mostly enjoy working with interior designers because we both have to put a lot of attention to detail when photographing a space, so working closely with them is what makes the shoots special. With real estate photography at times I tidy up the home to make sure there isn't any clutter distracting a potential buyer from the home's features. When I photograph food, I usually bring props like different table settings, and other accessories to make the food stand out even more.
I have not participated in any photography contests thus far.
My previous career was in classical ballet; I danced professionally for over ten years with the National Opera House in Bucharest, Romania.


Well, I got about 6 weeks off from the intense worry-wheel.
I had an appointment this morning. My weight gain is "perfect", my blood pressure is great, and BabyHope's growth continues as it should.
The sonographer was quiet while doing the scan, and she kept looking at the same thing over and over. I knew what she was looking for, but I'm not good enough at these to know if it looked bad. I had to ask a couple of times before she would tell me. We haven't seen anything prior to this scan that was concerning (other than the cord thing). And she's looked before.
I'm not typing it yet. My doctor said about 10 times some variation of, "It's probably not clinically significant." It, paired with the single umbilical artery, earns me a trip to the perinatologist for a targeted scan – and consultation if necessary. The first available appointment is Thursday morning.
I'm worried. Really worried. And trying not to fall apart.
And it just occurred to me that Thursday is the 4 year anniversary of Sean's death. Hmpf.
~ by Larisa on October 9, 2007.
my prayers are with you for thursday!
I am thinking good thoughts on Thursday. Hopefully that day has been hard enough for you that this will be the comforting news for the day.
So sorry, Mrs. Hope. I hope and pray that your doctor is right and it is indeed clinically insignificant. I wish you didn't have to deal with this worry though. I will be thinking of you.
Oooof. Not the news I was hoping to hear. I will keep you and BabyHope in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope your doctors prediction is right.
I can imagine the day for the appointment being unsettling for you. I'll be thinking of you.
I'll be thinking good things for you.
I'm praying for you and BabyHope.
I'm hoping so much that everything is ok.
Wishing you all the very best for Thursday.
hope all goes well, my prayers are w/you.
i just hate that you have to wait so long with all of those thoughts going around. hang in there. i know it's so long to wait. you'll be in my thoughts and prayers all week long.
*hug* Hoping and thinking good thoughts for you and your baby on Thursday, hon.
We're sending lots of good vibes your way for tomorrow.
wishing you only the best news on thursday. . .
the chances are that everything is fine. But we all know how buggered up the chances can be. I will have it all crossed for you tomorrow, sweetie.
Sending good thoughts. Sending a lot of good wishes for tomorrow's appointment.
I am praying for you and your family… I am going to a special mass for expectant mothers tomorrow, and I will offer up some prayers for you.
sending lots of positive thoughts that Thursdays scan will all be good.
Hope you and BabyHope are doing ok and that tomorrow will help you feel at ease.
I hope Thursday morning comes really quickly and that it brings reassuring news.
I'm sorry you're still having to deal with worries.
It's almost Thursday. I'm thinking of you tomorrow, and praying things go the very best way possible.
Fingers crossed you hear comforting news on Thursday.
concentrating all my wishes on clinical insignificance and a one-time-only meeting with the peri!
I hope it went OK today Larissa!
It's Thursday. Anxiously awaiting your news, and keeping fingers crossed.

Multicast promises lighter wireless Internet
By Eric Smalley, Technology Research News
The burgeoning community of wireless Internet users could tread more lightly using a multicast Mobile IP architecture, according to a 5,000-node simulation by a University of Southern California researcher.
The multicast architecture used half as much network bandwidth and had less than half the delay of the current Mobile IP architecture, according to Ahmed Helmy, the USC researcher who designed the architecture and ran the simulation.
When a sender uses standard Mobile IP to communicate with a mobile computer, it forwards the message to another computer on the mobile user's home network, which then forwards the message to the mobile computer. The mobile computer keeps its stand-in apprised of its location on the Internet.
In contrast, the multicast architecture establishes simultaneous links with many branches on the Internet. This allows the mobile computer to communicate directly with the sending computer by accessing the nearest branch of the multicast tree.
"My simulations show that the amount of links that you have to go to get to the nearest branch of the tree is, on average, around 2 1/2. And in most cases you'll be moving to a neighboring network," Helmy said. "So in general, you probably just incur a very, very low delay to get to the nearest point of the already established tree."
It will be three to five years before the multicast Mobile IP architecture can be deployed because multicast in general is not yet supported throughout the Internet, Helmy said. His research received funding from Nortel Networks Corporation.

• The EEOC filed 66 harassment lawsuits, including 41 that included allegations of sexual harassment. That reflects more than a 50 percent increase in suits challenging sexual harassment over fiscal year 2017.
• In addition, charges filed with the EEOC alleging sexual harassment increased by more than 12 percent from fiscal year 2017.
• Overall, the EEOC recovered nearly $70 million for the victims of sexual harassment through litigation and administrative enforcement in FY 2018, up from $47.5 million in FY 2017.
The EEOC also states that over 9,000 employees and supervisors in the private, public and federal sector work forces participated in its Respectful Workplaces trainings this past fiscal year. An additional 13,000 employees participated in EEOC's anti-harassment compliance trainings.
The takeaway: The issues of sexual harassment and sexual assault continue to be discussed quite vigorously in the media. This public discussion increases the likelihood that some employees may come forward and complain about actions or comments that they previously dismissed either because they did not recognize them as harassment or they thought that nothing would happen if they complained about them. Regardless of how long ago the conduct complained about may have occurred, a company must investigate every complaint of harassment in the workplace. The amount of time that has passed between the alleged conduct and the complaint may be a factor in the company's determination regarding the merits of the complaint, but it should not be a reason to ignore a complaint.


to finish in the Top 100.
A few days after opening its first boutique in Munich, Richard Mille welcomes the young tennis player Alexander Zverev, from Hamburg.
Nicknamed 'Sascha', he is considered by his peers to embody the next generation of international tennis stars. Alexander, who is coached by his father, began playing at the age of five, and in 2013 at the age of 16 was crowned ITF's World Junior Tennis Champion, a title previously held by some of the greatest names in the world of tennis.
In 2014, Alexander Zverev emerged victorious in his first ATP Challenger tournament, the Sparkassen Open in Braunshweig and two weeks later, was invited to play in the Hamburg ATP 500 event where he made headlines in beating three top 20 players and reaching the Semi Finals where he lost to top 5 David Ferrer. Zverev's performance was record setting in addition to being spectacular because it was an achievement that echoed those of a young Rafael Nadal, a familiar figure to clients and employees of Richard Mille. Sascha's rise has been exponential.
This season, following Semi Final results in Montpellier and Quarter Final results in Rotterdam, he announced himself on a major stage in Indian Wells where he held a match point against Rafael Nadal, who confirmed his belief that Sascha could be competing for major championships in the future.
Following in the footsteps of this great tennis champion, Alexander Zverev now plays with a Richard Mille watch on his wrist.
For this right-handed player who is extremely powerful in his game whilst being comfortable on any surface, the RM 27-01 is the ideal timepiece, with its case made of carbon nanotubes, weighing 18.83 grams, inclusive of the strap -a world record for a mechanical watch- yet to be matched.
Developed hand in hand with Rafael Nadal, the tourbillon calibre suspended by cables can resist accelerations of up to 5,000g's. Designed for tennis, this watch feels like a second skin.
He won his first ATP title at the St Petersburg Open 2016 and his second in February 2017 the final of the Open Sud de France in Montpellier.
He rises into the top 20 for the first time.
He won his 5th title of 2017, and 2nd Masters 1000 title, in Montreal at the Rogers Cup.
Ranked 8th, he became the third player to beat Roger Federer this year 6-3 6-4 extending his winning run to 10 matches.
Alexander Zverev celebrated the launch of his timepiece at the Richard Mille Boutique Munich.
The world No. 3 is the big favourite of the BMW Open in Munich (30 April to 6 May).
With the tennisman, Alexander Zverev, the RM 67-02 will now enter a new battlefield.
Alexander Zverev retained his BMW Open title in Munich, beating fellow German Philipp Kohlschreiber in straight sets on Sunday 6th May.
The 21-year-old claimed his first trophy of 2017 by triumphing 6-3 6-3 after 71 minutes in a contest between compatriots at contrasting stages of their careers.
Alexander Zverev defeated Dominic Thiem, who knocked out Rafael Nadal in the quarter-final, winning 6-4, 6-4 in the Madrid Masters final.
Zverev, already victorious in Munich the week before, wins the 3rd Masters 1000 of his career (after Rome and Montreal in 2017), keeping his World No. 3 ranking.
It's in the best possible way to start his season on clay, especially with his new RM 67-02 Automatic on his wrist. After two victories in two weeks, Zverev became the youngest winner of the tournament since Rafael Nadal who won it at the age of 19.

Complacency is the enemy of success
Sir Alex Ferguson and Paul McGinley talk leadership at LBS
Sir Alex Ferguson who was knighted in 1999, following Manchester United's remarkable Treble campaign and 49 trophies, and Paul McGinley 2014 Ryder Cup winning Captain and one of golf's most influential figures, told an audience at London Business School that complacency should be the manager's biggest watch-out.
The event, hosted yesterday by London Business School's Leadership Institute, saw the two celebrated sports managers share their respective rules to live by for leaders.
Complacency, the two said, is the most critical challenge to combat as a leader.
"Complacency is a disease," Sir Alex Ferguson told the intimate audience at London Business School. "Two nil at half time is a dangerous game; you can't give an inch". Paul McGinley who is back fresh from captaining the Olympic Irish golf team in Rio added that, as a captain, it's crucial to get your team "re-focussed on the work still to do".
"The role of the captain is to provide structure, strategy and energy," McGinley said. "It is not to tell your star player whether to play a point with a five or a six-iron."
In fact, McGinley believes that captains or managers should tread very carefully, choosing judiciously where and when to intervene. Pointing to the example of the partnership between a golf pro and his caddy, he said: "It's important to empower partnerships within the team. You have to be very careful about which dynamics you disturb."
As the leader, "everyone has to be rowing in behind you, giving you the best information so you can make your calls," McGinley explained.
And those calls can sometimes be tough, both Sir Alex and Paul admitted. Sometimes they will involve risk. "You have to be prepared to gamble," said Sir Alex whose teams were renowned for scoring important goals in the final minutes of games. "Your job is to send the fans home happy." With the average lifespan of a football manager now just 10 months, and some corporate leadership horizons not much longer, it's a salutary lesson.
So too, the two agree, is getting as many people as possible in your corner through integrity and trust.
"The more empathetically you can manage human beings, the better team you build," McGinley explained. "It's how you build trust", Sir Alex added, concluding: "When you build trust like that, it lasts forever."

Q: Add rows to a DataFrame inside a for loop I'm using a for loop to go through a DataFrame and look if a certain row meets a condition, if so, I need to add it to a different data frame. I'm using a for loop because I've got a list of values that I have to look up.
for id in list_Ids:
  list_of_products.append( df[df['ID']==id].to_dict()  )

report= pd.Dataframe.from.dict(list_of_products)

Inside the loop, I convert every row to a dictionary and I stored in a list, and then I call pd.DataFrame()
at the end. It kinda works, the problem is that is returning a dictionary of the form index: value
ID         ProductName      Country    Freight
{7: 4597}  {7: Milk}        {7:MX}     {7: 96.92}
