Are you in need of an ‘emergency question?'

Written by Peter Edwards Editor, Global Cement Magazine
24 June 2021

As the world winds its way back to ‘normality’ following the Covid-19 pandemic, there is the prospect of increased social interaction. However, I now find myself somewhat bamboozled by the prospect of actually having full-on conversations with other people...in real life. This is especially tricky when the topics du jour have been covered. There’s only so many times you can discuss the latest case-numbers, Covid rules and how you see the future of office working, before needing to move on to other topics.

In daddy’s car, the sound’s so good...

During the pandemic, I have taken to working more with headphones, often exploring the many musical genres offered by YouTube. Having established my pre-existing liking for guitars and 80s synths, its ‘algorithm’ led me down the path to ‘post-punk,’ Serbian ‘drum-and-jazz,’ suggested I try Norwegian ‘darkwave,’ and presented me with ‘Zamrock,’ a mixture of Western rock and traditional music from 1970s Zambia. Other algorithm trips took me to early electronic music, strange time-signatures and bands with incredible range. Much of this music would have been completely unaccessible to most listeners 20 years ago, and I’m extremely glad it’s out there, waiting to be discovered anew. Many others are too, with a common comment stating that ‘the algorithm has found a gem.’

113.85 grams of ‘banter’ please..

In the town I grew up in, there was a sweet-shop on my route home from school. It was run by Geoff, an eccentric chap who sold sweets the ‘proper’ way, by weight from behind a counter. He was straight-talking and uncomplicated. When UK shops were, in his words, ‘forced to adopt’ the metric system in January 2000, he just relabelled everything with the same price, per 113.85 grams rather than per 1/4 lb.

Reducing emissions with human laziness...

The transition to net-zero CO2 living, apparently set to take place by 2050, will require a lot of changes to our way of life. We provide coverage to the many ingeneous technical solutions to CO2 in these pages, but researchers in Switzerland may have identified another useful method: Human laziness.1

Money money money...

In its report The Inequality Virus,1 the charity Oxfam highlighted one of the most startling figures of the Covid-19 pandemic so far: US$500bn. This is the amount by which the world’s 10 richest men added to their wealth from April to December 2020. Read that again: Added to their wealth! In an effort to put a scale against this figure for us non-billionaires, Oxfam says this amount would be enough to vaccinate everyone on the planet against Covid-19 and to ensure that nobody ended up worse off due to the outbreak.
