Cement is dead... Long live... ’Binderment’?

Written by Robert McCaffrey Editorial Director, Global Cement Magazine
21 October 2021

Many of us enjoy a burger from time to time. You may even enjoy a ‘beefburger,’ and when thinking of a sausage, no doubt meat will be involved. So a recent legal tussle over what the vegetarian versions of these products should or could be called is of some culinary interest to us all. It also affects the cement industry, as we shall come to see.

Adventures in time and space...

Written by Peter Edwards, Editor, Global Cement Magazine
27 September 2021

Google Maps has a new feature, Timelapse, which stitches together satellite images to allow users to scroll back in time to 1984. As someone who is as old as the first images on Timelapse, this is sobering. Many locations around the world have changed beyond recognition: The melting of Greenland, the ‘advance’ into the Amazon, the growth of megacities like Dubai and Beijing, the disappearance of the Aral Sea... The images are equally shocking and unsurprising.

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.

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

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.’
