Still Shredding: Superchunk
Of all the beloved indie rock bands who've reunited in the past couple of years to tour and in a few cases to record—The Pixies, Slint, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus Lizard, Polvo, Versus, The Vaselines and Pavement—only one, the venerable Superchunk, can lay claim to helping found one of indie-dom's leading labels. The power pop gods from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, turned out some of the most essential albums of the 1990s, and count among their ranks Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance, co-founders of Merge Records, the company whose roster over the past 21 years has included The Magnetic Fields, Neutral Milk Hotel. Conor Oberst, Polvo, Spoon, She & Him and Arcade Fire. Running a label of that significance, to say nothing of starting families, meant that for much of the past decade, Superchunk was on hold. In recent years, the band—Ballance, McCaughan, Jim Wilbur and Jon Wurster—have resurfaced for one-off shows and very short runs, but no new record, until now. Superchunk have delivered their first album in nine years, Majesty Shredding, that finds the 40-somethings sounding just as fresh and fun as they did back in the days when they were just kids "dancing on the propane tanks," as their high-powered new single "Digging For Something" alludes to.
In 2010, Superchunk took a different approach to songwriting this time around, and a saner approach to touring, as at least a couple of them would just as soon be in bed at 11pm instead of taking a stage. I met up with the band recently at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg to talk about all that and more, including why we're seeing reunion fever spreading among bands of the Nineties.
JOHN NORRIS: Why was this the right moment for a new record, rather than two years ago, four years ago? I understand scheduling had something to do with it?
MAC MCCAUGHAN: I think it's been building up to it. I think we first started talking about it two years ago, and trying to figure out how we could write a record and make a record now, with everyone having different lives and different schedules than we did nine years ago, the last time we made a record. I think also we had to get in the mindset of "Are we ready to tour again?", and play more than a show here or there. Because when we became kind of less active, a lot of it was being burnt out on touring.
NORRIS: Did you guys enjoy the last couple of years where you could just do one-offs or a couple of shows here and there?
JIM WILBUR: Yeah of course, it's nice to have like three shows a year, maybe so that you know that you're still doing it? I always thought "Well my career in rock is not dead yet, because next December we have to go do that thing." But it was also nice to not have it be a day job almost, where you're just doing it all the time. But with the album and the tour, it's like one thing follows the other. If you're gonna have the child you've gotta commit to raising it, kind of. You know, you don't just deliver the child and forget about it.
NORRIS: And was there a lot of schedule adjusting? Jon you seem crazy busy, whether it's other bands like the Mountain Goats, or your radio show with Tom Scharpling at WFMU. Was there a lot of juggling that had to be done knowing that this tour was coming up?
JON WURSTER: Kind of, but things worked out really well though where, we'd known far enough in advance where I could say "I have this week free, let's grab three or four songs and go record", and so it worked out. But you needed enough advance word so that you could kind of figure it out.
NORRIS: And in fact the tour is happening in sort of short bursts, which works for you guys?
WILBUR: Oh totally, and I think if we were to try and hit it for two or three weeks at a time, it would be way less enjoyable.
MCCAUGHAN: I would hurt even more than I hurt right now.
NORRIS: In the show at Bowery Ballroom last night you said before one song, "We are so tired, and we've only done two shows on this tour!"
LAURA BALLANCE: Isn't that pathetic?
WURSTER: Well it's just going on so late. We're going on at eleven!
MCCAUGHAN: When we're usually going to bed at that time…
NORRIS: Laura I always got the impression you were the one least into the idea of spending long stretches on the road?
BALLANCE: It's completely true. I am a homebody. I would much rather be at home, getting ten hours of sleep a night. But that does not happen on tour.
NORRIS: So when the idea two years ago was being floated about doing a new record which would obviously involve a tour, were you the least into the idea?
BALLANCE: When the idea of making a record first came up and writing songs, I said, "We'll see how it goes." I did not say that I would do anything. I am free to stop at any time. (LAUGHS)
NORRIS: Mac this time, for Majesty Shredding you really worked out the basic songs on your own. Was it just easier to do it like that?
MCCAUGHAN: Yeah, in some ways it was like the earlier records were I would make demos and send them around. Because now it just would not work to write songs in the way we did for a long time there which was everyone just getting together and starting from scratch really and writing an album's worth of songs. Which takes hours and hours every week. So we just found a way that it could work, in the same way that Jon was saying that recording happened in short bursts of recording over the course of a year. We just had to adjust the way that we did everything really to make it work but I think in the end it resulted in a really good record.
NORRIS: Because you guys didn't fall of the radar for nine years and have been doing live shows especially more recently, I don't think 'reunion' is the proper term but God knows we have seen recently band of a certain era that have reunited, both with new albums like Polvo did last year or without new records like Pavement are doing right now. Do you see anything fundamentally different about those two approaches? Is it more fun, being out with new songs to play, from Majesty Shredding?
MCCAUGHAN: I think that when we were just doing a show here or there, playing you know just drawing from our catalogue and there were plenty of songs that people wanted to hear, but at some point yeah I guess you sort of wish that you had some new songs to play. I think it definitely makes the set more fun for us.
WILBUR: It's less like you're doing a corpse viewing too. You know if you're just playing songs that are over 10 years old, you know trotting them out over and over again, it would feel a little like, 'what's the point?'
WURSTER: Having new songs just makes you feel like you're current and that you're 'doing something' and not just trotting out the old hits.
WILBUR: Otherwise you might as well just be playing state fairs you know?
BALLANCE: My concern was that people wouldn't care about the new record, that they would be like "Yeah, new record, I just want to hear 'Hyper Enough,' come on!" But people do seem to care.
NORRIS: Last night I felt like some of the new songs like "My Gap Feels Weird" got as big a reaction as the old favorites.
MCCAUGHAN: Yeah that's been really weird for me as well, people singing along to the new songs as well as the old songs. And as far as reunions go, I mean, I've gotten to see Pavement a couple of times so far, since they've gotten back together. It's been great. I think in some ways they're better than the last time I saw them, however long ago. And those guys are interesting because they talk about it as something that has a definitive end. You know like "we're gonna do this for a year" or whatever, and they don't even say "Oh we might make a record" and to me that's a cool way to do it. But a band like the Pixies, they got back together and they're still on their reunion tour and it's like five years later.
NORRIS: Do you guys have any thoughts on why in this concentrated period of time we've seen this spate of bands re-emerging after being dormant for ten or fifteen years?
BALLANCE: I think it has a lot to do with us reaching a certain age and, we're in charge now. You know what I mean? Like, NPR now, it used to be like classical music, old people's stuff, and now you're hearing modern music, formerly underground things on there. And I think it's because all of the people that were in the 1990s appreciating these things, they're now grownups and they get to have a say in the matter.

Advantco's Google Cloud Platform Adapter – Integrating SAP with GCP
2 Likes 986 Views 1 Comment
Google Cloud Platform is an integrated cloud service tool designed to connect applications and business environments between on-premise applications and those hosted in the GCP.
Integration of GCP tools with other applications is a complex set of procedures and requires time, training and development. Still, this effort is rewarding and improves connectivity, visibility, and business operations through the shared data across cloud-based applications.
The Advantco Google Cloud Platform Adapter streamlines this integration process by creating a product specifically for the GCP tools and business services. This adapter has been developed and tested on SAP PI/PO 7.3, 7.4 & 7.5, and SAP CPI, and reduces training and development efforts, implements the APIs, and improves overall integration.
The Adapter manages message protocols, channel configuration parameters, variable substitution, format conversion, logging and tracing configuration and Google Cloud Workbench for seamless integration between your GCP and SAP processes.
Google Cloud Platform Tools
Advantco's GCloud Adapter facilitates integration with SAP and GCP tools:
Cloud BigQuery
Google Cloud Storage is a storage service that enables users to upload, access or download data. Cloud Storage can store and deliver large media formats, enable data backups and archives for disaster recovery and file storage, or serve as an integrated repository for analytics and machine learning. Through the Advantco adapter, users can transfer data from SAP to Cloud Storage and retrieve it again easily.
Google Cloud Datastore is a NoSQL database for web and mobile applications. The service automatically handles sharing and replication and serves as an integration point for solutions across App and Compute Engines, commonly used by software architects and engineers. The Advantco adapter allows easy transfer of solutions and applications built on Cloud Datastore to and from SAP business processes.
Google Cloud BigQuery is a data warehouse that enables users to analyze stored data with built-in machine learning and a BI. The Advantco GCloud adapter integrates BigQuery applications with SAP like real-time inventory management and predictive digital marketing.
Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a messaging service for data that receives and stores data from independent applications. Cloud Pub/Sub allows users to observe data, execute analytics, and support machine learning. This service and the GCloud adapter can distribute large queues of tasks across multiple engines while staying in communication with SAP, balancing workloads in network clusters and integrating with on-premise business processes.
Google Cloud Spanner is a relational database service for application data that combines relational database structure and non-relational horizontal scale to improve its functionality. This service is used within industries in need of real-time, up-to-date data. Cloud Spanner provides up-to-date, real-time data and the GCloud adapter integrates this with SAP processes.
Google Cloud Dataflow is a data processing service for batch and real-time data streaming applications. This service allows users to set up pipeline processing to integrate, prepare and analyze data simultaneously. Retailers use Dataflow to perform Clickstream, Point-of-Sale and segmentation analysis that are then integrated with SAP by the Advantco adapter.
Google Drive is an online storage drive for files, from videos to Google Docs. Google Drive changes work and collaboration by providing users the flexibility to work anywhere while remaining connected, organized and up-to-date. The Advantco adapter allows business processes on SAP to access this service, and exchange data between the two.
GCloud Adapter at Work
Current customers use the Advantco GCloud Adapter to send data from SAP to their Cloud Storage, and to support data integration and messaging between back-end SAP and Pub/Sub. Integrating the GCloud Adapter mitigates the traditional challenges faced when transferring data from SAP to storage and calling it back, and provides a seamless communication process.
Users can leverage the GCloud Adapter for integration processes between SAP business processes and GCP tools as either a Sender Google Cloud adapter or a Receiver Google Cloud adapter.
To upload buckets of data from the Integration Server or SAP Cloud Platform Integration (SCPI) to their Google Cloud Storage, identify the Adapter Type: Receiver in the yellow highlighted box:
To create data buckets such as "digitalasset" in the yellow highlighted box:
The Sender GCloud Adapter consumes the messages from GCP and pushes these toward the Integration Server or SCPI, whereas the Receiver Google Cloud adapter sends message payloads received from the Integration Server or SCPI to the GCP.
The GCloud Adapter is also used to pull data from Pub/Sub and map the data into back-end SAP business processes, converting data structures from JSON to XML. The adapter handles a high volume of load — over half a million transactions per hour.
The adapter facilitates real-time, high-speed communication between the two databases by using GCP tools to update, keep and analyze data from business processes managed by SAP.
Merging business applications with GCP products is a complex set of procedures that requires time, training and development. The GCloud Adapter minimizes these challenges through integrating data between SAP and services provided on the GCP.
The adapter is currently used to transfer data from SAP applications to Google Cloud Storage, support integration between back-end SAP processes and Google Cloud Pub/Sub, and convert data structures from.

Nature provides us with a multitude of goods like food and fiber, drinking water, protection against floods and storms, carbon storage and recreational services like swimming and bird watching. Our welfare and well-being depend on these goods and services – often called ecosystem services, defined as "the benefit people directly and indirectly obtain from nature". We often distinguish between four categories of ecosystem services; supporting, provisioning, regulating and cultural ecosystem services. This report aims to sum up and show some examples of the results of the ecosystem services projects carried out for NCM. It illustrates which ecosystem services we receive from Nordic nature and the importance of these. It also shows examples of how the ecosystem services approach has been and can be used in management of nature in the Nordic countries, and to point out some knowledge gaps.

NFI receives order for 100 additional transit buses for the Washington Metro Region
May 26, 2021 • May 26, 2021 • 3 minute read • Join the conversation
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (TSX: NFI, OTC: NFYEF) NFI Group Inc. ("NFI" or the "Company"), a leading independent bus and coach manufacturer and a leader in electric mass mobility solutions, today announced that the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority ("Metro") has exercised options for 100 additional forty-foot Xcelsior® heavy-duty transit buses from NFI's U.S. subsidiary New Flyer of America Inc. ("New Flyer"). The options are being exercised from New Flyer's backlog in the third year of a five year contract originally awarded in 2018.

, Slim Thug and Paul Wall played a sold-out show at the venue in front of an eager NYC crowd.
BET.com was on the scene and spoke to the performers before they rocked the stage.
"I'm just the product of hard work," 2 Chainz said of what propelled him into the spotlight to perform in front of a frenzied Big Apple audience. "People from my region supported me from early 2011, and from the top of the year it just felt like the momentum was moving toward this way."
The rapper, formerly of Playaz Circle, has become the rapper du jour after breaking out on his own last year.
"I started doing features with a lot of artists from [New York] ... and everything just led up to the line you saw wrapped around this building," he said.
For their part, the Houstonians were in town to promote the promising new talent, Marcus Manchild. The young gun's new mixtape, Free Yo Mind Music, drops in February.
"The good thing about Marcus is he don't rap as slow as us," Slim Thug joked. "Me and Paul, we laidback, but New York people might like this guy a little better. And he's a pretty boy."
Thug and Paul Wall joined Marcus on stage for a crowd-pleasing performance of their H-town classic, "Still Tippin." Pioneering DJ/producer Michael 5000 Watts was also present to show his support.
"It's really another generation of Houston," Thug said. "We've got [Marcus Manchild], Kirko [Bangz] and a lot of other cats in Houston that are doing big things. So we're just trying to keep it going and support our people, just like Bun B and Pimp C supported us."

Jordan Obita

Full-back Jordan Obita came through the Reading Academy ranks and represented the first team aged just 16.
Within weeks of becoming a full time scholar, he was in the squad for a League Cup game at Torquay and came off the bench in extra-time.
Obita sparkled in pre-season ahead of the 2011-12 campaign and spent the majority of that season on loan at Barnet and Gillingham perfecting his natural born talent.
He made his first league start for the Royals in a 3-1 Championship victory away at Derby County in 2012-13 and then made substitute appearances against Birmingham and Burnley in the next two weeks.
His breakthrough season was in the 2013-14, scoring his first senior Reading goal in a thrilling 3-2 away win at Nottingham Forest that November. He impressed all year in an unfamiliar left back position which he made his own picking up the official Player of the Season award as a result.
After establishing himself as a key member of the first team, he clinched a place in Gareth Southgate's final England Under-21 squad of the 2014 season, for a Euro qualifier in Wales and the Toulon Tournament in France that May.
By the end of 2015-16, Obita had made over 100 league appearances for the Royals, and has come a long way since his debut way back in 2010.
And in 2016-17, Obita scored a vital goal at Craven Cottage to take the Play-Off Semi-Final into a second leg with Fulham and Reading all square; he rifled low inside the bottom right corner to earn Reading a 1-1 draw in the first leg having scored two other spectacular efforts against Ipswich and Burton Albion earlier in the season.
Unfortunately, the defender missed a majority of the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaign after sustaining an injury early in September 2017.
His long-awaited return to competitive senior action came after a 703-day hiatus from the game, where he overcame the knee-injury that kept him out for almost two years to captain the side against Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Cup in August 2019.

Rose McGowan's activism tainted by recent comments
February 5, 2018 Associate Editor
By: Kyndall Cunningham, Columnist
If you look at the face of actress and relentless Harvey Weinstein accuser Rose McGowan, you see someone who's been hardened by their experiences. Upon researching her rape allegations against Weinstein, I was saddened to learn that she had spent most of her childhood in an oppressive, criminal cult. Provided a tough upbringing and her abusive past, I tried to view McGowan with a compassionate lens for as long as I could, even when her narrowed views of female empowerment disagreed with mine. But after a video was released of her verbally attacking a transgender woman at an event for her new memoir "Brave" last week, her entitlement to any sort of feminist platform and a raised fist in solidarity became patently unmerited.
The incident occurred last Wednesday at a Barnes & Nobles in New York City. While onstage answering submitted questions from the audience, McGowan was interrupted by a transgender woman demanding that she discuss her remarks on RuPaul and Michelle Visage's podcast "What's the Tee?" last summer regarding transgender women.
"Trans women are dying and you said that we, as trans women, are not like regular women," the woman who confronted McGowan said. "We get raped more often. We go through domestic violence more often. There was a trans woman killed here a few blocks [away]."
To give you some background, McGowan's comments on RuPaul's podcast were sloppy, misguided and cringe-worthy to say the least. McGowan had suggested that trans women hadn't "developed" as women even though they "felt like a woman on the inside." McGowan's disregard and utter confusion about women who don't fit the white, cis, heterosexual model is indicative of someone who has chosen to disengage from intersectional conversations, all the while claiming to be a voice for women. In addition to this, McGowan infamously responded to a tweet by Ellen Degeneres who criticized the discrimination of LGBTQ+ people in Mississippi, heedlessly stating that DeGeneres needed to "speak for women as well." If McGowan didn't know, you can be a member of the LGBTQ+ community AND a woman. You can also be black and a woman, disabled and a woman, an immigrant and a woman. You get the idea.
McGowan initially handled the protester in a calm manner. "We are the same," she said. Seconds later, however, she was out of her chair spewing F you's and shouting, while the trans woman chanted "cis white feminism" as she was escorted out of the event. McGowan's thoughtless rant continued even after the woman was removed.
A key indicator of the exclusivity that plagues McGowan's brand of activism is her disbelief that women like her and trans women exist on the same planet. Her mission to combat the world's injustices all the while claiming she is above reality are counterproductive to the goals of intersectional feminism. Anyone that deliberately separates themselves from the harsh realities of society and the people that endure them simply cannot be a voice of the people.
As aesthetically "woke" as McGowan would like to appear referring to herself as a witch, sitting cross-legged on formal talk shows and calling out Ben Affleck on Twitter, she lacks basic empathy. The acknowledgement of marginalized communities outside of straight, white women is an existential challenge for her because she's purposely blocked them out of her worldview. Intersectionality should be the basis of every woman's feminism, not the golden standard. To expect McGowan to be educated about the social position of women of color and LGBTQ+ women is not an attack or an unfair criticism. We have to look at inclusivity as a bare minimum requirement for anyone we lionize as a community or consider a voice for women.
A lot of women on social media have been calling McGowan a white feminist. Her criticism of the Time's Up campaign, Alyssa Milano and any effort by women that doesn't directly revolve around her leads me to believe that she might just be a narcissist, which does not invalidate experiences as a sexual assault survivor. It does, however, lay ground rules for white, cis woman who are given a platform.

Filmmakers have to fail at crowdfunding to succeed
Many filmmakers have felt the pain of failing to raise money for a short or feature film, and often give up on their ambition, but here's why crowdfunding failure matters.
First of all, any film or creative project, no matter the genre, has to earn the creator a monetary return, otherwise the filmmaking itself is unaffordable. Beyond the money aspect, crowdfunding is the first step towards a market test to determine a film project's credibility in the eyes of the viewers. If money can't be raised through a crowdfunding campaign, then it could mean several things:
Firstly, failure to raise any money for a project could suggest that the presentation of it is not appealing to the audience being targeted. Secondly, it could mean that the audience isn't big enough, or that the genre is so obscure that it's not going to make a return, or there are only a select few that will back it. Thirdly, failure to get enough supporters could simply mean that the marketing isn't strong enough, or the communication of the project hasn't reached a wide enough net of potential backers and these are all valuable lessons to be applied to the next round.
Filmmakers today have to be able to make great art, but that in itself is not as important as being a greater marketer. Every indie film project being produced today either requires an initial investment or crowdfunding to support it. If people are not interested in the project, then the chances are, it will be very difficult to earn money from it or convince financiers to back it.
Crowdfunding is a great way to showcase the full potential of a project because audience engagement can be scaled once there is a proof of concept by further outside investment in marketing. Filmmakers don't need to raise $100,000 at the very start to get the interest of production companies and financial backers. A short film with a big audience and exceptional support, even on a small budget can go a long way in helping indie filmmakers get to where they want to be.
Most of the successful crowdfunding projects are meticulously planned with a buildup and strong storytelling in the marketing including video trailers that capture the project and show it in a fun and unique way. In essence, filmmakers have to tell great stories in their marketing to be successful with their own film projects and it is the fastest way to attain progress. "Kung Fury" is a great example of a project that managed to capture the nostalgia of 80s action blended with martial arts. That short film had an established fan base before it was even conceived and it had a great production team producing eye catching content for its crowdfunding campaign, gaining media traction along the way. Unique projects that are well conceived, even in a short format can go a long way. Other filmmakers and creatives have managed to raise millions through crowdfunding , so the idea that only an investor or production company can make it happen is no longer valid.
Indie filmmakers need to understand how audiences perceive their art before it is made in this digital era. Audiences are fickle, and there is plenty of content out there. For a project to have real credibility, it has to have a solid marketing campaign and it has to build audience that cares before it is shot. Even failing to raise money for a film project is a superb way of understanding how people respond to it and there are many good lessons to be learned. Additional marketing and PR skills can always come in handy to further develop a film's allure in the market and it is so important that filmmakers acquire these skills and work with others who have them. Every film we see at the cinema is a result of the marketing engine behind it. If people don't know about a film, they will never discover it, and it will sit on the shelf.
Crowdfunding today is the gateway to getting attention, building a fan base, and proving to potential investors that it has what it takes to be a financial success. The process of raising awareness of a short or feature is also an important part of filmmaking today because without it, it is close to impossible to get a financial backer unless there is government support. However it is the greatest time in history to build a fan base for films from scratch, and that can lead to longterm career growth, where those fans come back time and time again to see new films from the creator.
Star Wars as a franchise is an example of how audiences come back time and time again for more because they fall in love with the films, but to get any kind of return on a creative project people need to hear about it first.

To mark the 100 year anniversary of the First World War, which began at 23:00 on 4 August 1914 and continued until 11 November 1918, the Tower of London is mounting a major new installation, 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' is an evolving installation by ceramic artist Paul Cummins, with staging by set designer Tom Piper. The piece will signify one hundred years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War, one of the costliest conflicts in terms of lives lost in history. Throughout the war almost 900,000 people lost their lives fighting for the British army.
Entitled 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red', the installation has been created in the Tower's famous dry moat. It will continue to grow throughout the summer until the moat is filled with 888,246 ceramic poppies, each poppy representing a British or Colonial military fatality during the war.
The poppies will encircle the Tower, creating not only a spectacular display, but also an inspiring setting for learning activities, as well as providing a location for personal reflection. The scale of the installation reflects the magnitude of such an important centenary, creating a powerful visual commemoration.
Jeremy Deller, the Turner Prize winning artist best known for his 'Lights Out Lights On' installation, now in the permanent collection of the Tate has created a new free app as part of 14-18 NOW, the cultural programme marking the centenary of the First World War. The work comprises four films devised by the artist which audiences in the UK and across the world will be able to watch for free by downloading an app, available from today. The work is co-commissioned by 14-18 NOW and The Space, and is produced by Somethin' Else.
Sculptor Gerry Judah's has also unveiled his much anticipated twin sculptures in the nave of St Paul's Cathedral. The work has been installed to commemorate the First World War. Their white cruciform shapes evoking the meticulously maintained war graves of northern France and further afield, in fact represent an utterly contemporary questioning of the continued need for warfare.
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "A hundred years ago today Britain entered the First World War and we are marking that centenary to honour those who served, to remember those who died, and to ensure that the lessons learnt live with us forever.
Paul Cummins is an international applied artist based in Derby known for his distinctive landscape installations and traditional puncheons. Derby-based Paul Cummins Ceramics has received a £170,000 grant and £280,000 loan from the £20 million Derby Enterprise Growth Fund, run by Derby City Council. The DEGF is part of the Government's Regional Growth Fund, set up last year to support innovation, expansion and job creation amongst businesses in the Derby and surrounding area through grants and loans.
Jeremy Deller has exhibited widely internationally and selected monographic exhibitions include: Unconvention (1999, Centre for Visual Arts, Cardiff), After the Goldrush(2002, Wattis Institute, San Francisco), Folk Archive with Alan Kane (2004, Centre Pompidou, Paris and Barbican Art Gallery, London), Jeremy Deller (2005, Kunstverein, Munich), From One Revolution to Another (2008, Palais de Tokyo, Paris), It Is What It Is: Conversations About Iraq (2009, New Museum, NY, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago), Processions (2009, Cornerhouse, Manchester) and Joy in People at the Hayward Gallery which is currently touring in the US.
Gerry Judah who was Born in 1951 in Calcutta, India,moved to London with his family at the age of ten years old. A graduate of Goldsmiths College and Slade School of Fine Art, Judah has worked on settings for some of the UK's leading theatres, museums and public spaces, including the Royal Opera House, Royal Shakespeare Company, British Museum, English National Opera and Royal Ballet. In 2000, the Imperial War Museum commissioned Judah to create a large-scale model of the selection ramp in Auschwitz- Birkenau for the Holocaust Exhibition, opened by Queen Elizabeth II. The project signalled a shift in the thematics of Judah's work towards art borne of his reflections on political, historical and environmental issues, culminating in collaborations with organisations including Christian Aid and the British High Commission, India.
The last poppy will symbolically be planted on 11 November 2014.

Krause, C., Morin, H. and Plourde, P.Y. (2009) Juvenile growth of black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] BSP) stands established during endemic and epidemic attacks by spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana [Clemens]) in the boreal forest of Quebec, Canada. Forestry Chronicle, 85(2):267-276.
In the boreal forest of Quebec, 80% of harvested black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] BSP) stands regenerate naturally. In the remaining 20%, forest regeneration is ensured by planting seedlings and these plantations are expected to increase future forest yields. However, predictions of future yields using the information from very young plantations in this ecosystem may have low accuracy. To compare juvenile growth in plantations versus naturally regenerated stands, and also to evaluate the impacts of spruce budworm Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens) defoliation periods during the juvenile phase, annual height and volume growth were calculated from measurements on nine black spruce stands. The nine sites consisted of two plantations and seven post-fire, naturally regenerated stands. Of the seven naturally regenerated sites, four were epidemic and 3 endemic. The term "epidemic" refers to stands regenerated during known spruce budworm defoliation periods. The term "endemic" refers to stands regenerated during periods without severe defoliation. For height and volume growth, 5 different methods were used and compared. The annual height and volume growth of all black spruce showed a sigmoid trend, characterized by low values in the first years after germination, followed by an exponential acceleration and finally oscillation around a horizontal asymptote. The black spruce stands established during endemic periods were more productive than those established during epidemic periods, but plantations were the most productive.

Finally, a new deep cut from Melbourne's visceral post-punk band Total Control. Typical System, their second LP, was written, recorded, created over the past two years and is set for US/Worldwide release via Iron Lung Records on June 24th and self-release in Australia/New Zealand on June 20th. Total Control emerged from Australia's dynamic punk scene in '08, releasing a succession of 7"s that developed from an aggressive post-punk band sound to studio forays into electronic forms from minimal wave to house. Their debut LP, Henge Beat, was commended as one of the few records released in 2011 that evaded the ease of classification and competent tribute act status of most modern bands.


It is no secret to those who know me, I don't enjoy cold weather. When the weather turns cold in the midwest, I can feel the cold all the way to the bone. And I don't like it one bit. Not one bit. But I do like cocoa. And at Christmas, I love to have candy canes. So why not create a crock pot peppermint cocoa that can stay warm all day long.
This crock pot peppermint cocoa recipe has three simple ingredients.
A smaller 2.5 or 3 quart crock pot is perfect for making drinks. Crush a peppermint for each cup of milk you are using for this recipe. I used four cups of milk, so I crushed four starlight mints. If you want a stronger peppermint flavor, add a few more crush mints for good measure.
Add chocolate chips to the crock pot. Pour in four cups of milk over top of the peppermints and chocolate chips. Stir and set the crock pot on low.
Cook for an hour and then stir. Cook for an additional hour. Stir to combine before serving.
A peppermint hot chocolate of any kind isn't complete without a big spray of whipped cream. A few more starlight mint pieces won't hurt either. Now, go get warmed up!
