Hence the original disposition of the gallery is reordered, and even then, its new perception is further re-evaluated. This is the first time ever that such a radical adaptation of the space has been undertaken in the interests of a unique, site-specific exhibition project, which thus becomes absolutely non-transferable. The architectural studio PLURAL made a considerable contri- bution to the artistic modification of the space. PLURAL produces architecture, exhibition design and speculations on the city with particular emphasis on its social and cultural relevance. The off ice was established by Martin Jančok (*1978) in 2009, Michal Janák (*1987) joined in 2013. PLURAL’s major projects include the revitalization of the Neologic synagogue in Žilina and its transformation into a contemporary exhibition space – New synagogue. Other awarded built projects involve Alexis bookshop, the Summer Pavilion for the Slovak National Gallery and the recently completed House in a House. PLURAL also maintains a lasting academic involvement in theory and research at the Faculty of Architecture at the Slovak Technical University in Brati- slava and conducts a self-initiated long term research/ design project focusing on the contemporary central- -european city – Projekt Bratislava.

Eastern Sugar was the name assigned to the larg- est Slovak sugar factory Juhocukor (“Southern Sugar”), Reconstruction of situated in Dunajská Streda, following the accession of a foreign majority shareholder in 1993. Redesigned Reality in Time in this fashion (there were promises of investment, re- vitalisation, international connections and an overall flourishing of sugar production in Slovakia), the factory Nina Vrbanová survived only until 2007. Then its definitive closure was announced, production ceased, and the need to com- pensate for lost supply with imports was acknowledged. This borrowing (matter-of-fact, somewhat laconic) of the name of a privatised firm with a revelatory end functions here as pars pro toto: the short-lived fate of the Dunajská Streda sugar factory after privatisation represents only one example of many.

    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 8, No. 1, 2013, pp. 179-206 BOOK REVIEWS SECTION Rebecca Adler-Nissen and Ulrik Pram Gad (eds.) (2013). European integration and postcolonial sovereignty games: The EU Overseas Countries and Territories . Abingdon: Routledge. xxx+252pp, ISBN-13: 978-0-415-65727-3 (hbk) £80. ISBN: 13:978-0-203- 07684-2 (ebk). The thrust to independence for the remaining colonies slowly ground to a halt in the last part of the Twentieth century. In consequence there now remain a good number of mostly island territories for which sovereign independence is no longer seen as an option. Twenty five of these have a unique relationship with the European Union (EU) defined by the term ‘Overseas Countries and Territories’ (OCT), eleven of which are British, six French, six Dutch and one Danish. Under the terms of the Overseas Association Decision (OAD) adopted in 2001, the OCT have a special and unique relationship with the EU which provides them with preferential trading arrangements and very modest levels of development assistance, among other benefits. The OAD is now under consideration for revision as of the end of 2013. It and the OCT relationship with the EU is little known in the EU and little discussed in the OCT or within the EU member states to which they are associated. It has equally been ignored by the academic community. This book by Adler-Nissen and Gad is the first comprehensive comparative study of the OCT relationship with a particular focus on the triangular relationship linking together the OCT at one corner, the European Commission at another and the member states to which the OCT are linked at the third.

  • TRAIL GUIDE Sugarloaf Cove
    TRAIL GUIDE SELF-GUIDED INTERPRETIVE TRAIL SugarloafCove Welcome to Sugarloaf Cove Sugarloaf Cove is a 34-acre site located on the North Shore of Lake Superior, approximately 4 miles southwest of the town of Schroeder, Minnesota. The site was purchased by the State of Minnesota in 1988 to preserve its unique geological, biological, and cultural resources and make them available for educational purposes. Approximately 7 acres of the site have been designated as a State Scientific and Natural Area (SNA). The remaining 27 acres belongs to Sugarloaf: The North Shore Stewardship Association. Sugarloaf was organized under the name Sugarloaf Interpretive Center Association (SICA) in 1992 to protect the Sugarloaf Cove and provide a public interpretive forum. In 2005, SICA changed its name and mission statement to better reflect a broader mission and scope for the organization. Sugarloaf is a membership supported non-profit organization. We hope you will become a member. Please take time to enjoy the self-guided interpretive trail. The trail is approximately one mile long. A leisurely walk on the entire trail, using this guide to help you, will take approximately one hour.

A total of about 450 factories produce almost 40 million tons of sugar annually, putting Brazil well ahead of the runner-up, India, whose overall production amounts to about 25 million tons. It is hardly surprising then that the annual Fena- sucro & Agrocana – after all, the world’s largest trade fair for the sugar and alcohol industry – has been held at Sertãozinho, the centre of the Brazil- ian sugar industry in the state of São Paulo, for 20 years. Every year, over 400 exhibitors present their offerings to an average of 30,000 and more visitors. In setting up its subsidiary BMA Brasil Equipamentos Industriais Ltda., BMA prepared the ground for successful business in Brazil. And 2012 was the second year in which the BMA Group had its own stand at the Fenasucro fair.

  • Ploring Food Field Table
    le to Tab eld Fi Explo from ring Food MISSION 2 Exploring Food from Field to Table provides information and activities designed to lead students in exploring how the food they eat is grown, transported, processed, and preserved. Students will: 1. Understand that different plants rely on different climates to grow. 2. Identify countries, oceans, and the equator on a world map. 3. Use a world map to identify regions where specific foods are grown. 4. Explore the agri-food chain from production to consumer, using natural sugar as an example. 5. Conduct a scientific experiment that involves preparing, observing, and comparing the results of four different test solutions over a period of days. 6. Discover how effectively different solutions work to preserve foods. 7. Observe the process of crystallization by which sugar is purified. Curriculum Connections for Grades 4 - 6 ormation T und Inf eaching Backgro THE EVOLUTION OF FOOD Primitive people relied on foods that they could pick, hunt, and fish for their survival. As ancient populations began to depend on planted crops for food, they were faced with the challenge of finding ways to preserve their harvest between seasons. As time went on, they also looked for ways to transport food from one part of the world to another without having it spoil. Today, many foods travel a long way from the field in which they were grown to your table. FOOD AROUND THE WORLD Over the centuries, extensive trade of foods developed between different regions of the world. Methods of food production, preservation, and distribution have evolved over time.

  • Rhetorics of Value: Constituting Worth and Meaning Through Cultural Display
    Rhetorics of Value: Constituting Worth and Meaning through Cultural Display CORINNE A. KRATZ Museum exhibitions are commonly seen as critical sites for the constitution of identity and difference. They provide occasions and resources for representing and reflecting on notions of quality, worth, and other social values and meanings. But how are values and identities shaped and produced through exhibitions? How are exhibitions put to- gether in ways that might communicate particular values and shape various identities? This article begins to consider how ‘‘rhetorics of value’’ are produced through contemporary museum exhibitions by exploring the multilayered, mul- timedia communication involved as exhibitions convey evaluations and interpretations through visual and verbal means and through ‘‘designed space.’’ [exhibitions, museum studies, communication, cultural values, design, multimedia, lighting, exhibit texts] Let’s not just talk about art. Because, finally, the functions of museums as social institutions and the museum’s purpose is not just to develop an appre- varied representations created through exhibitions (Karp ciation of art, but to develop an appreciation of 1991).
