I remember the first time “Post-Metal” was ever mentioned to me. It sounded obscure, like some weird life form that grows on a planet in a different universe. How could a genre be “post-” anything? It never made sense to me, and still doesn’t. To me post-metal is just a thing where songs are longer, lyrics are shorter, and it builds and builds to an epic climax. However many people just like to associate music and lyrics together, such as the case with pop music: it has a good beat you can dance to, and fun lyrics you can sing. With Post-Metal, however, these two groups are separate, which always seems to cause a rift between fans of metal.
I was a member of the lyric group, and I still am to this day. I have always loved the ability of a musician to convey their thoughts adequately through a song and make it work with the music. This is part of the reason I love Tool so much, whom I have talked about in this column before. Maynard has always had a special way with words, especially with emotional songs like ’10,000 Days’ and ‘Prison Sex’, which everyone knows are very personal topics for him. It was actually Tool who introduced me to Isis in a roundabout way. I picked up the limited edition Revolver Magazine that was all about Tool, and in the back it had a section where the “guitar wizards of Isis” interviewed some of the band members about their music, lyrics, the army, etc. I figured any band interviewing Tool must be a pretty amazing band, considering Tool themselves held them in such a high regard. I decided to check them out.
I went online and searched “Isis” on Google, and the first video it gave me was ‘In Fiction.’ I listened all the way through, then said, “Well that was a waste of 8 minutes.” At the time, it just seemed to take forever and a day to build up, then had six lines of lyrics, then took forever to end. I figured, “Okay, I’ll try another song.” I chose the song ‘Backlit’ next, and was thoroughly unimpressed. After hearing the same thing again, I gave up. I abandoned all thoughts of Isis and left them behind, next to all the other bands that were nothing special. Then something miraculous happened.
Somehow, about nine months later, out of nowhere, the physical album appeared inside of an Amazon box. I realized that I had ordered the wrong album (though I don’t understand how it happened). Originally, I was pissed off, but due to my complete lack of enthusiasm for doing returns of any kind, I just thought I could try to sell it to someone. I took it into the music store by me offering to sell it, when my friend Glen behind the counter told me “Yo, why are you sellin’ this?! It’s a GREAT RECORD!” I didn’t understand, but I trust his musical opinion more than anyone else, so I took it home and put on the headphones once again, expecting the worst. But what I found was magical.
I finally understand why I didn’t get the album before: the album is a story. You can’t just pick up a good book and start from page 150 and read to page 175 then judge it; it’s taken out of context, with no background, no information to go on. No characters are introduced, no plot develops, and they all just become words on a page. It’s the same story with Isis. You don’t just listen to one of their tracks; you listen to all of them. It’s a very connective, collective way of listening. Hearing each song flow into each other so gracefully is something that every music fan can enjoy. Adding some nice bass effects and layered guitars also helps.
This record is a career-defining record for me. From start to finish it is a collection of seven perfect post-metal songs. It remains my favorite Isis album and even my favorite Post-Metal album ever. Luckily for me, I am able to fully enjoy this record, as I make many a long drive to do various things. This is one of the few records that I listen to all the time; start to finish, with no breaks. This record is deserving of a whole-hearted listen, from a real dedicated fan. And the lyrics, while succinct, carry an emotional weight that is nearly impossible to achieve with only 4 lines. Aaron Turner does in 4 lines what Shakespeare took 100 pages to do, and yes, I compare the two because both created beautiful works of poetry but in radically different lengths.
Discovering this album was one of the greatest things to happen to me. It helped push my poetry writing to new heights; it helped me gain a better understanding for the instruments, which are used on this record to create stories, not be flamboyantly over the top. It also gave me a greater appreciation for music as a whole. These guys laid the foundation for many bands that have come after them, and have given us some of the best music out there. I was never able to see them before their break up in 2010, and I’ll always be upset about it. But one thing I know is for sure: we still have the records.

A frequent question is whether drinking too much will raise your tolerance to alcohol. It depends on what kinds of drinking you do.
When people drink too much every once in a while or another way of saying that is binge drinking, that won’t necessarily change one’s tolerance. What changes one’s tolerance is drinking excessive amounts over a long period of time. So if you’re drinking episodically, if every once in a while you over drink, no, your tolerance is going to remain largely the same. If other things remain the same, like your body weight, etc. However, over time if people drink excessively and frequently, yes, their tolerance will change, and they’ll need more alcohol to get the same effect.
Having said that, also people’s tolerance naturally changes with age and with the changes that go along with aging. So people have to really aware of their tolerance level all through their life span.

Chilled mango + acai soup
Today I want, not to share, but to persuade you with this YUMI and oh-so-fresh breakfast.
I created this recipe out of desperation. Yes, I was totally and utterly desperate for eating all those mangoes that the season brought. I literally had my kitchen full of mangoes, and a lot of them where in the edge of getting rotten.
My mother and father were visiting and, let me tell you, they are mango eaters and weren´t able to eat them all. So we got into the task of using all of them for breakfast.
I said: I have an idea!
And dive into my freezer for some frozen acai which is the fruit of the palm that is cultivated for "hearts of palm", and created this OMG chilled soup that suites beautiful for granola and breakfast.
Remember that the measures can be modified if you want to do your own creation. So, have fun and evolve it with different ingredients.
2-3 mangoes + 100 grs frozen acai + 1 teaspoon moringa powder + Maple Syrup (your call) + 1 tablespoon chia seeds + 1 cup of ice = BLEND until smooth.
TOP it with: Any fruit you want, I used Dragon Fruit, homemade granola & seeds.
Keep enjoying summer weather!

Adolescents' clay sculpture has been researched significantly less than their drawings. I spent approximately six weeks in a ceramics class located at a high school in a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona in order to explore how gender affected subject matter preference in students' three dimensional clay sculpture. Gender studies on children's drawings reveal that males favor fantasy, violence, aggression, sports, and power, while females favor realism, domestic and social experience, physical appearance, care and concern, nature and animals.

Here’s a great example from a Starbucks video from their site of a simple act that brings joy to people because this crazy guy really does believe that it’s about serving these people. Watch it. Then go live like this Einstein looking fellow.
My friend Jay shared this on G+ today. It was too good not to pass up reposting. So simple. So True.
τετέλεσται. Happy Good Friday.
Just wanted to do a quick post to share this great video of Ernie Harwell describing the beauty of Baseball.
How do you feel heading into Major League Baseball’s Opening Day?
p.s. Go Tigers! Go Detroit!
p.s.s. Go Nuts! Go Lansing!
Genius. That is what I thought when i first saw this ad during the superbowl.
That was, after i sat back down and stopped clapping. I was even wearing my Detroit Lions jersey that day too.
Now, to be fair and open about it, I’m totally biased. I was born in Detroit. I recognized most of the landmarks they show in the commercial. So personally it pulled on my heartstrings to see all of those different spots in the commercial.
As for the layout of the whole thing it starts with a gritty voice, a grammaticality incorrect statement of “I got a question for ya” and proceeds to conjur up images of hell and fire and a city that survives the forge like a tempered piece of glowing metal. Message number one: we survived.
Then it addresses the image the city has thanks to the media. Even making a statement about how much bad press the city gets from writers “who’ve never even been here”. Message number two: you aren’t here, you don’t know.
Then the narrator compares Detroit to other cities like New York, Las Vegas, or even the emerald city from the wizard of oz. Saying Detroit is an American city, “we’re from America” connects to the sense of patriotism that everyone has in their minds. There are 4 different shots in the commercial where you can see american flags waving. It also hits the minds of those who always say that they will only buy an american car. Message number three: we are up there with any other city in the country.
Then, and only then after standing up boldly for the city of Detroit does the commercial shift for it’s second half toward the car a little. Incorporating more of the cities proud landmarks like the fox theater. Then add in the gospel choir to represent the soul and culture the city has, as well as Eminem to show someone who has succeeded coming from a rough part of the city. He also bridges a connection between the old generation spoken of at the beginning of the commercial and the upcoming younger generation that want to see the city prosper. If you have a heart for Detroit, or the American Auto Industry, or even for the midwest in general I have to imagine that you walk away from that two minute mini-documentary of an ad with a sense that Detroit will definitely stand tall once again.
What do you think?
With all the cool things going on in #LoveLansing these days all you have to do is pay attention for 5 minutes and you can find something to do.
I don’t want to influence your thoughts so I won’t list them all here, but I do want to try something fun. I went through the following list and listed what I thought of for all the following words. Now I want you to do the same.
Take this list, copy it into a comment, and then connect each word with the first thing that comes to mind for you.
for example: Jedi :: Luke Skywalker or iPod :: Angry Birds
Grand Ledge ::
East Lansing ::
South Side ::
REO Town ::
Old Town ::
Most Interesting ::
Thanks for your thoughts! Stay tuned for my posting of my responses soon!
OMG! Alert the presses! Your Zodiac Sign Changed!?
In case you haven’t been paying attention people have been freaking out all over facebook and twitter about a new Zodiac sign as reported by different blogs, news sites, and articles online. ( for example: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/zodiac-signs-2011-zodiac-sign-wrong/story?id=12609264&page=3 ) So if your birthday falls in one of the groups of dates that changed signs people are saying that their identity is being changed.
So what? What does it change? I dare say it doesn’t change a thing. If you were stubborn before, or carefree or maybe a flirt you will still be that same person today, and tomorrow and maybe even moving forward if you don’t grown into something different over time. If you are a socialite, or a loner, or an odd mix in between that is part of who you are. That isn’t something determined by the stars or when you were born.
If you were someone who took your daily horoscope and tried to make it fit into your day ta-da they were all wrong. all the more reason i feel like they are bullocks. It would seem that a writer/astronomer with the Discovery channel somewhat agrees with me: http://news.discovery.com/space/is-astrology-rubbish.html
What are your thought?

I often write wondering if Alan will come across my post and deem it worthy of 'From The Brains Of Bloggers' - a few sentences that he lifts and links to so that others may share in his discovery. He currently has an ongoing series titled Tales Of Blogging Passion and last night he posted about yours truly. I'm part four of a wonderful group that includes Windmills Of My Mind, The Rec Show and Movie Marking Madness. The praise he showers me with is undeserving, but the passion part isn't. I'm a passionate guy and I do what I do because I love it. And I write as if I were talking to you on a Monday morning over the cubicle wall like I so often do at work. But unlike my co-workers, you have the option of turning me off. Thankfully Alan has not done so.

Juan Diego Pérez Téllez
C/ Fray Manuel María, 20
11540 – Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz, Spain
This paper explores the self-organising processes of urban communities supported by the connection of a variety of functional elements on the smaller urban scale through physical interactive elements for social collaboration. These processes acquire a local dimension through the proactive involvement of self-organised communities in the dynamic development of the socio-cultural heritage as an organised context for the evolution of the urban system. This approach is based on the geometrical linkage through permeable membranes, fractal interfaces and urban structures which support a hierarchical organisation of nested scales of urban units providing large scale coherence. The study is delivered through the case-study of a traditional community-based housing system within its urban context, with the aim of identifying linking elements which lead to a certain level of self-organisation, likely to be extrapolated to different urban sets. Finally, these connective elements are considered in a contemporary context so as to provide a design framework towards self-organisation, considering the potential of new technologies.
Keywords: Self-organizing Communities; Socio-cultural Heritage; Social Interaction; Sustainability; Social-urban Flexibility; Socio-geometry.

Received 23 February 2016; accepted 19 March 2016; published 22 March 2016
In recent five years, China retail sales online keep an average annual growth rate of over 50 percent to more than 4 trillion Yuan at 2015, ranking first in the world. The transaction of China E-commerce reached 20.8 trillion in 2015. The traditional industries and existing business model is shocked by E-commerce platform and some vertical e-commerce website. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in March 2015 in the government work report proposed the development of “Internet+” Initiative Plan. Promoting mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things and so on with modern manufacturing are combined to facilitate electronic commerce, the Internet industry and Internet finance healthily development.
However, most of the Internet enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In traditional financial services system due to lack of effective credit risk control tools, SMEs can hardly get enough financial support from the traditional financial system. In recent years, many banks actively explore the financial services based on relationship in supply chain, and create the supply chain finance mode.
With the development of e-commerce, networking, cloud computing and other information technology, supply chain finance gradually move from offline to online, internet enterprise’ demand, supply chain data and large industrial upgrading combines to promote supply chain finance innovation, supply chain finance is no longer just the bank’s “one-man show”, electronic business platform, information system service providers, core industry companies, logistics companies use their data and industrial advantages of supply chain actively layout, open a new era of supply chain financial development. This paper firstly defines the concept of supply chain finance, and introduces different types of participants in the evolution of supply chain finance mode, risk control and other aspects of the development of the existing supply chain financial model. Combing the various subjects and the development of internet evolution path supply chain finance, their views and suggestions on the future development of supply chain finance on this basis are put forward.
2. Definition of the Supply Chain Finance
With the slow recovery of the world economy and fully upgraded industrial structure, corporate restructuring and industrial chain extension evolution become increasingly frequent, supply chain business model is replacing vertical integration to become industrial organization the mainstream model  (see Figure 1). Increasing global sourcing and selling brings substantial challenges on the material flow, information flow, and financial flow along lengthened supply chains. Financial institutions began to base on the information flow, material flow and capital flow in supply chain members, provide various financial products to fund the coordinate and operation of the supply chain.
For the concept of supply chain finance, academia and the business community did not have a uniform definition. From the perspective of supply chain core enterprise, Michael Lamoureux  provides a definition of supply chain finance: A core business-led enterprise ecosystem, the availability of funds and the cost of a system optimization process. And Aberdeen  from the electronic trading platform provider perspective explained. Timme  , Hofmann  analyzes the basic process of supply chain finance and components, from the macro and micro level analysis participants of supply chain finance, collaboration features, and tracking cash flow, capital flow as provide insight into the supply chain finance bedding conceptual.
And another major point of view, is discussed from the angle of the bank for supply chain finance, Because the traditional supply chain finance practice dominated by banks, the scholars more elaborates from this point. The supply chain finance can be summarized as follows: Supply chain finance (SCF) is based on its understanding of the supply chain transaction structure and details of the transaction, through the control of a real material flow, business flow, information flow and capital flow with the core of the supply chain, provides liquidity to suppliers by leveraging their buyer’s higher credit rating to achieve value-added process.
SCF boils down to a balanced approach for enhancing working capital for both buyers and sellers in a transaction―using an intermediary tool to link buyers, sellers, and third-party financing entities―thereby reducing supply chain risks/costs and strengthening business relationships. On another way, the SCF solution combines a set of technology solutions and services that link all the parties in the supply chain―the buyers, sellers and providers of financing―in order to enable end-to-end visibility, lower financing costs, increase availability, and expedite the delivery of cash. SCF solutions can help combat the inherent problems created by more traditional
Figure 1. Supply chain model.
supply chain working capital enhancement approaches.
3. The Evolution of the Supply Chain Finance Mode
Financial flow, material flow, and information flow increasingly converge, making the supply chainfinancial more and more important in supply chain management. Commercial banks penetrate through all aspects of the supply chain, to participate in the overall supply chain optimization. Ranking the top 50 global banks have carried out the supply chain finance business, according to a survey done by Aberdeen Group, more than half of international commercial banks recognized the commercial potential of supply chain finance, and the findings Demica even more than 90%. Currently, HSBC Bank is in a leading position worldwide in the payable financing achievement particularly prominent. From a regional market, Citibankholds the dominant position in North America, Royal Bank of Scotland with the acquisition of the Dutch bank in Western Europe in the lead, Standard Chartered Bank (S & C) is an advantage in Asia and Africa, especially pre-shipment financing. In 2006, Shenzhen Development Bank (SDB) proposed in “supply chain finance” concept, by introducing the core enterprises, logistic company and cash flow guidance tools, such as new risk control variables, to provide different nodes of the supply chain credit support and other financial services. Trade finance customers and business volume in 2006 SDB achieved a 50% growth in non-performing rate of only 0.4%  .
3.1. Supply Chain Finance the Offline “1 + N” Mode
In the primitiveversion 1.0, supply chain finance mode is generally referred to as “1 + N” (see Figure 2), based on the “1” core enterprise in supply chain higher credit rating, through leveraging their buyer’s higher credit rating to complete a small congregation of micro-enterprises “N” credit financing support. This allows companies to unlock the value in the supply chain in many ways, including: extending buyer’s Accounts Payable terms; accelerating seller’s access to lower cost capital; reducing risks imbedded in the supply chain. It can also enhance bank’s risk control, further deepen “1” reliance on banks, and expand the range of financial services.
Main mode in SCF 1.0 version consists of two categories: accounts receivable financing and prepayment financing. Accounts receivable financing mode are generally applicable to upstream supply chain financing, to solve small and medium sized enterprises at the upstream supplier of financial funding requirements. this mode refers to borrowers with its future anticipated proceeds of receivables as collate ralto obtain bank credit, and access to business financing. Specifically, accounts receivable financing for SMEs applies mostly patterns has the following characteristics:
1) As a supplier, it has long maintained the coredownstream enterprise with credit settlement;
2) Enterprise has a lot receivables, and in need of cash to expand the scale of production, organization of production activities;
3) Enterprises is in the growth phase, lack of fixed assets used for mortgage, but keep stable trade with the downstream core business with long term accounts receivable.
In practice, the power industry, railway industry, supermarkets and other chains are suitable for development of such industry financing pattern. In these supply chains, the number of suppliers in the upstream of the core
Figure 2. Supply chain finance offline “1 + N” mode.
business, more categories, and with the core business remained generally stable trade relations. Currently, accounts receivable financing category include wider application of pattern “Pledge of accounts receivable financing”, “factoring financing” and so on.
Because the buyer is using SCF to mitigate the costs for a seller, it will be well positioned to negotiate better terms and conditions with sellers. As a result of these negotiated terms/conditions, the buyer will realize a significant working capital benefit from an extension in payment terms and will free up cash for use in other critical areas. The seller is obtaining access to capital at a lower cost through leveraging the buyer’s credit rating. Additionally, the seller will see a reduction in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and an improvement in cash forecasting, two key drivers to effectively navigate through the current credit crunch.
Account prepayments financing mode are generally applicable to the downstream supply chain financing, to solve the problem of capital shortage for downstream distributors. Accounts prepayments financing for SMEs applies mostly patterns has the following characteristics:
1) Supply chain, as the seller of the core business has stronger bargain power, by way of order requested downstream distributors to organize production, leading to a shortage of liquidity dealers.
2) In the supply chain, core corporate commitments to downstream distributors and bulk orders receive a discount, or distributors want to lock in prices, book in advance for goods.
3) Products generally have market price transparency, strong liquidity and other characteristics.
In terms of industry classification, suitable for the development of prepayment financing model class industries include iron and steel, petrochemicals, automobiles, machinery and so on. In practice, prepayments financing include “inventory financing” and “confirmation position” two main modes.
3.2. Supply Chain Finance Web 2.0, SCF Online
Supply Chain Finance web 2.0, move the traditional supply chain finance online (see Figure 3). Through the using a technology platform to automate transactions and provide visibility into the invoice approval status to all parties involved. This allows all participant to unlock the value in the supply chain. Not only the banks, but also third-party includes e-commercial platform and software provider can obtain information of real business at any time.
The SCF web 2.0 solution combines a set of technology solutions and services that link all the parties in the supply chain―the buyers, sellers and providers of financing―in order to enable end-to-end visibility, lower financing costs, increase availability, and expedite the delivery of cash.
3.2.1. Non-Pure Electronic Trading Platform Provider in Supply Chain Financial Model
Non-pure trading platform electricity supplier in the supply chain in addition to providing trading platforms, but also the entire supply chain system of self storage and logistics systems, demand for electricity suppliers to make orders upstream suppliers, supplier deliveries to the electricity supplier, electricity supplier to supply Suppliers out acceptances, and produce accounts receivable. A typical representative of this mode has the Amazon, Jingdong Mall.
Figure 3. Supply chain finance web 2.0 mode.
The financial supply chain mode of no pure trading platform and the traditional supply chain finance “1 + N” mode is essentially the same. Electricity supplier as the core enterprise supply chain system, use its own good reputation and a large number transaction information to provide security for the middle and lower reaches of the SME credit. Electricity supplier cooperation with commercial banks, earning economic benefits by means of financing to suppliers in the supply chain by accounts receivable financing, order financing and Supplier entrusted loan financing. Meanwhile, financing to suppliers enhance the viscosity and node enterprises to their own dependence, and with a stable and mutually beneficial cooperation of the upstream and downstream enterprises, to ensure that their own core supply chain system steady development.
The supply chain finance model of no pure trading platform electricity supplier is the model extended the traditional supply chain financial theory to the electricity supplier supply chain system. The model changes the traditional credit model of a single enterprise’s real estate pledge through the evaluation of the whole supply chain performance and operational risk to provide loans to enterprises in the chain, and not only expands the business scope and service objects, but also helps to reduce transaction risk and transaction costs. The upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain in the different industry environment interact with each other. The bank through the core enterprise strengthen the confidence asymmetry of supply chain and each node enterprise business evaluation and supervision, reduce the financing risk and cost causing by nonprofessional factors.
3.2.2. Pure Electronic Trading Platform Provider in Supply Chain Financial Model
In the supply chain system of pure trading business platform, electricity supplier is only to provide trading platform for upstream and downstream suppliers, its own are not engaged in warehousing and logistics system. There aren’t cash transactions between upstream suppliers. The typical representatives of this model are the B2B electricity suppliers Alibaba, C2C Taobao, B2C Tmall.
In the supply chain system of pure trading business platform, electronic commerce platform for logistics and capital flow control is not the degree of non-pure trading platform, but the electricity supplier have the power of control the information flow, all supply chain system transactions are carried out in the electronic business platform, providers can based on a great deal of data analysis of financing risk control.
Pure Trading Platform Supply chain financing is more innovative supply chain financing mode will replace the electricity banks to provide financing services in the traditional supply chain, financial status, and data and the Internet as the core, a rich database of suppliers and credit history using a large customer resources, customer data and transactions cloud computing and other information technology processing means mass for its SME platform to provide credit loans. Electricity supplier through the integration process of the formation of e-com- merce data and credit, to solve the asymmetric information and processes complex problems of the conventional financial sector loans to individuals and small businesses exist to achieve good risk control and return on capital.
Pure Trading Platform supply chain financing innovation model characteristics embodied in the technology and risk control. Technology means: the electricity supplier financing risk control network data model should be introduced credit checks and online video mode, confirm the authenticity of customer information by cross- checking technology combined with third-party verification, customer behavior data in e-commerce network platform maps for businesses and individuals credit rating, these are usually unable to finance through traditional channels to obtain loans of small and medium suppliers bulk loans. Through technological innovation, the use of data analysis rather than guarantee or mortgage financing party credit rating. Risk Control means: electricity supplier by a multi-level micro-loans risk early warning and management system, pre-loan, loans and loan after the three links in close contact, the use of means of data collection and analysis model, based on small and micro suppliers electronic business platform on credit accumulation and behavioral data, repayment ability and willingness to repay the enterprise for a more accurate assessment, at the same time, combined with post-loan monitoring and network shop/account shut down mechanism, improve customer default cost effectively control credit risk.
3.3. Supply Chain Finance Ecosystem “N + N” Mode
Now the commercial bank has gradually shifted ideas, what banks wants to do is to build a cloud services platform, to allow SMEs’ orders, waybills, acquiring, financing, warehousing and other business behavior run in the platform. While introducing logistics, third-party information firm and other enterprises, build a service platform for enterprises to provide supporting services (see Figure 4).
4. Core-Enterprise in the Supply Chain Finance
20th Century 70 - 80 years, large multinational companies are more focused on the core elements of industrial control, and low value-added sectors or to release more competitive and comparative advantages of regional transfer of optimal allocation of resources, these multinational companies naturally become supply core business chain. Core enterprise channel partners including upstream suppliers and downstream distributors, many of which are SMEs, they are separate from the core business, but its proper functioning and loyal cooperation determines the stability of the entire supply chain, which also determines the overall cost of the final product competitiveness. Thus, the core business with banks have an incentive to help channel partners to solve the financing difficulties. Accordingly, the bank will also expand the core business of financial services from the entire supply chain, providing accounts receivable financing for its channel partners, prepayments and payment, inventory financing, financing of raw materials and manufacturing services, these services are called supply chain Finance.
The traditional focus on credit debtor bank credit, and in providing financing for the core enterprise channel partners, banks pay more attention to the status of the debtor in the supply chain, the role and effectiveness of the bank to borrow money usually only give part of the core business of direct deals and usually requires the core business or a large third-party logistics companies to help monitor the debtor and related logistics chain.
For companies that have a strong credit rating relative to their suppliers and are willing to explore alternative working capital strategies, SCF is a powerful tool that brings benefits to multiple parties across the supply chain.
5. Logistics Giant’s Financialization
United Parcel Service (UPS) through its financial platform UPS Capital to provide letters of credit, bill payment, value-added financial services and other financial services loaning. Cash on delivery is the most common international trade settlement (Cash on Delivery, referred COD), customers can check into UPS Capital COD bank account, UPS upon receipt of exporters of goods to the exporter by the UPS Capital provide partial payment in advance, UPS then settled by UPS Capital and importers to collect full payment. Thus, UPS is paid the difference between the sum without interest, while UPS Capital will use these funds to customers rolling loans. UPS spare no effort to promote the concept of supply chain finance, according to its estimated that the global stock of receivables of about $115 billion to support lending market potential assets resulting over $340 billion.
In the era of “internet+”, the development of e-commerce and networking technology promotes the evolution of supply chain finance. Supply partner can reap the end-to-end benefits available through effective SCF solutions.
Figure 4. The SCF ecosystem “N + N” mode.
This paper, firstly, on the basis of introducing the basic definition of supply chain finance, gives a sketch map of supply chain model and supply chain finance, and reveals the evolution paths of supply chain finance. Meanwhile, based on the different characteristics on participants, source of funds and target customers of the three evolution paths, this paper gives an overall classification of supply chain finance under the background of internet, which includes supply chain finance “1 + N” mode dominated commercial banks, supply chain finance web 2.0, and analyzes the characteristics of the different models, summarizes the operational mechanism and development trend in the future.

Journalists and activists take part in a vigil against impunity led by the Free Media Movement (FMM) in Viharamahadevi Park, Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Jan. 21, 2016. Credit: FMM.
The Free Media Movement and the International Federation of Journalists have condemned the statement made by president Sirisena he will protect the members of the armed forces and police, claiming that such allegations are made by NGOs and United Nations.
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has joined its affiliate the Free Media Movement (FMM) Sri Lanka, in expressing its dismay over the statement made by President Maithripala Sirisena discouraging investigations into crimes against journalists by the security forces. The IFJ urges the Sri Lankan government to ensure that crimes against journalists are thoroughly investigated and the perpetrators speedily prosecuted.
In its statement the IFJ says that “The statement by the President of Sri Lanka hints at the government’s unwillingness to deliver justice to journalists who were victimized by the earlier regime. With the Sri Lankan government needing to expedite criminal investigations to end impunity for crimes against journalists, such a statement by the head of state is a matter of concern. The IFJ urges the Sri Lankan government to move ahead with investigations of crimes against journalists, especially those committed by the security forces, and deliver justice.”
FMM says that the statement made by the President Maithripala Sirisena that leads to discourage such investigations. Free Media Movements observes that the recent statement made by the President at Palali Air Force Base is an extension of similar statements that were issued by the President and several other leaders.
Further the FMM says that “some names of the members of security forces are mentioned in relation with certain crimes perpetrated against journalists and media institutions. Today, all the investigations seem to be in a stalemate. The demand for expedite investigations and deliver justice for victims cannot be condensed to a mere request of a few NGOs; It is a broad social demand. In this context, such sporadic statements that condemn the above broad social demand and certain parallel actions taken might lead to further discourage stalemate investigations; also to breach the trust of people for the justice. ”
President Sirisena on March 4 while referring to the allegations made against the security forces, stated that he would protect them. While speaking at the Palali Air Force Base, the President said such allegations are made by NGOs, referring to the latter in a derogatory manner, adds the IFJ statement.

We smear lightly toasted bread with ricotta cheese, pesto and roasted asparagus for a simple and quick appetizer. When you buy your asparagus, look for bunches that have thinner stalks, if you can only find thick-stalked asparagus, use a vegetable peeler to peel away the outer layer of asparagus as this can be a bit tough. You can also swap the asparagus for other roasted vegetables — we love using tomatoes or broccoli.
1 pound fresh asparagus
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper
1 baguette, cut on diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
4 tablespoons basil pesto, see our homemade pesto recipe
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Rinse asparagus and pat dry. Trim about 1/2-inch from the stalky ends. Place trimmed asparagus onto the baking sheet and toss with olive oil, and then lightly season with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Spread into a single layer. Bake until the tips begin to brown and the stalks are tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending on the thickness of your asparagus.
Just before serving, add bread slices to a clean baking sheet and bake in the oven until they begin to toast around the edges, 2 to 4 minutes .
Spread ricotta cheese onto each bread slice. Spread about 1 teaspoon of pesto over the cheese and top with a few pieces of roasted asparagus.

Last week, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith shot down a tabloid report that they were ending their 14-year marriage and that Pinkett Smith had an affair with Marc Anthony, her love interest on TV's "HawthoRNe."
But although Pinkett Smith 39, and Anthony, 42, never had a full-blown romantic affair, one source tells Us the twosome had an "inappropriately close" friendship.
"They were a little touchy and like they were in their own little world," a set source explains, adding that the twosome often hung out alone in his trailer, and talked and texted frequently.
And when Anthony's own seven-year marriage to Jennifer Lopez began to fall apart, he leaned on his work pal.
"The more distant Marc and Jennifer became, the closer he got to Jada," a family insider says, adding that Pinkett Smith may have "overstepped her bounds" in lending Anthony marital advice.
"Jennifer didn't like that."

Some people haven't been happy with the idea of Lady GaGa setting up a partnership with Target to release an exclusive version of her new upcoming album because of the shizz that went down last year with political donations.
Well, the GaGa herself is now talking about it!!
Here's what she has to say:
"That discussion was one of the most intense conversations I've ever had in a business meeting. Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups and begin to reform and make amends for the mistakes they've made in the past…our relationship is hinged upon their reform in the company to support the gay community and to redeem the mistakes they've made supporting those groups."
Um, that sounds like a positive intention to us, not that she's supporting the fact that their political donations went to an anti-gay activists.
Now, it is a little disappointing that Target gives away so much money (weekly, even) and only a small portion of it is going to the LGBT community (less than 2%), but at least it's a start.
The company says it has "earmarked" almost half a million dollars for the community, which will absolutely be appreciated!
We also brought up that Target has now appointed a new political committee to be more "thoughtful" with their donations, though this doesn't guarantee that money can't end up being donated to future candidates that sadly have an anti-gay history.
The committee, though, is now in place to make sure those decisions aren't made recklessly.
Plus, the GaGa partnership seems to hinge on them not going that route, and she will DEF hear about it from her fans if things don't go smoothly!
This is the right direction, though!
Equality is glad to have you on its side, bb!
What do U think about this??

(Last Updated on : 08/04/2009)
-Agriculture, which continued to be the chief livelihood of people in epic age, had achieved remarkable development. As described in Mahabharata, the lands of Kosala, Vatsa, Matsaya etc. were very productive. Fields were irrigated and fertilisers was used to enhance the richness of land. The farmers had to pay 1/10th to 1/6th of their produce as taxes to the king.
-Next only to farming, cattle breeding was also one of the chief livelihood of the subjects. Horses and elephants were much coveted by the army. Cow was the most accepted animal which people tamed. Cattle breeding was thus one of the most important source of income for the populace.
Trade and Occupations
-Trade and commerce prospered during the epic age. Merchants had coordinated themselves into associations. Among the primary occupations carpentry, pottery, chariot-making, jeweller-making, basket-making, goldsmithing, ploughing, bow and arrow manufacturing etc. were in high demand. High textured cotton, woolen and silken clothes were fashioned. Metal work had also amplified and enhanced. Most of the businessmen were city dwellers, but businessmen from far-off places also visited the cities for business dealings. On the whole people were contented and well-off and trade and commerce boomed.
Advancement of Science and Philosophy
-Sizeable progress in Science and Philosophy was accomplished during this age. Medical Science had moved on so much that medicines were manufactured even for the animals. Geography and Astrology also followed in toe with Science and Philosophy. With regard to philosophy, the isms of Karma, Incarnation, Bhakti (devotion) etc. were critically outlined and advocated.

PERFECT FIT: Seattle-based fashion tech start-up Fitcode has disclosed new funding.
The company’s aim is to help consumers with their denim purchases, while reducing returns for brands by teaching shoppers how to make denim selections based on fit rather than size. Shoppers take a short quiz so they can be paired with a particular fit, of which Fitcode has nine. The company then provides denim suggestions based on that fit.
The $1.8 million Series A round was led by Seattle investment firm Harvey Partners and will be funneled into new hires, an app, a plus-size offering and growing the partnership base of brands and retailers, according to cofounder and chief executive officer Rian Buckley.
“Brands lose a lot of the conversion when they sell to retailers. And then for retailers, it’s pretty cool because we can offer a unique shopping experience,” Buckley said.
The idea for Fitcode stemmed from Buckley’s time as a fit model in which she saw just how much pinning, tucking and Photoshop work went into making a pair of jeans look good for a photo.
The company’s boutique includes brands such as Seven For All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, Hudson and Kut from the Kloth, among other designer labels. It doesn’t carry inventory nor does it handle the actual transaction. Instead, it routes shoppers who actually want to make a purchase based on their Fitcode findings to a retailer’s site.
Fitcode, which will remain in beta mode as additional site features roll out, currently has nine full-time workers.

What a first week. I felt like Tom Hanks in Turner & Hooch!
Initial training is going well. He is not food driven at all, and we have tried at least 7 different treats now. Everything from Wellness Puppy Treats, Blue Buffalo Treats, Dehydrated Liver, and hot dogs. The liver and hot dogs are definitely his favorite, but he still loses interest in them faster than Rosie O’Donnell loses interest in a salad.
A few days ago I finally figured out that he will work for his raccoon toy! He has a very high prey drive. So I have been training him by letting him play with his raccoon if he gives the desired response. It is working so far, however this way will definitely take longer than training him with treats. Maybe he will develop a food drive as he grows older.
We have been feeding him Eukanuba Natural Puppy food, because that was what the breeder was feeding him. Tonight I plan on starting the transition over to either Wellness Large Breed Puppy, Blue Buffalo, or Solid Gold Wolf Cub. Maybe a change in diet will make him want to work for food a bit more.

Michael did everything right this week. No one had a single bad thing to say about him, and his acting was great. Ali and Lily should have gone, Aylin will win with Blake as runner up. Called it from the first episode when Aylin started getting the nasty edit then suddenly became likeable and Blake was was consistent but boring.

Fulham ran amok to leave QPR fans open mouthed at the ease of this win.
No one saw it coming - but plenty saw booing Rs fans leave in their droves at half time with Whites three to the good thanks to goals from Ross McCormack, Moussa Dembele and Tom Cairney.
A late consolation from Tjaronn Chery barely raised a ripple for the home fans still in the ground.
It meant the away team coasted in the second half to only their second double of the season after Rotherham, and ease pressure at the foot of the table on a side headed towards it before this thumping win.
Fulham sensed the space behind the Rangers back four, and time and again the bisecting ball on the diagonal had a willing yellow shirt meeting it.
Early on, both sides gave as good as they got.
But Fulham were rocked when Lasse Christensen, with a litany of injuries last season, limped off barely six minutes into the game to make way for Luke Garbutt.
If anything, the switch to 3-5-2 gave Fulham the impetus, and Jamie O'Hara was through on the left to bring a good save out of Alex Smithies.
The warning signs were there for Rangers - but they didn't heed them. The diagonal pass nearly paid off a couple of times before McCormack scored.
Cairney threaded the ball through the eye of a needle for Mac the knife to run on to and fire first time past Smithies.
It got even better for the away side five minutes later.
Garbutt was given multiple goes to get away a shot on the left. Eventually, O'Hara delivered an inch perfect cross for Dembele to nod down and in with the Rs defence awol.
Yet again 3-0 came as a result of a QPR defence cut asunder.
Dembele was the provider this time sending a low shot against the far post and out to Cairney whose effort was tepid but enough to catch the knee of Grant Hall and in.
Smithies was by far the busier keeper in the second half, but Andy Lonergan earned his win bonus with a terrific close save as James Perch and Dan Burn was a lucky lad to earn only a yellow when he upended Jamie Mackie through on goal.
Chery finally netted with a neat side foot, but this was bitter blow for those in the home end.

This will lower generation costs and, therefore, tariffs for consumers because imported coal, which has higher energy content, is costlier than the domestic coal that is used in bulk in power plants.
"We will not import any coal during the current quarter as all our coal stockyards are full," an NTPC official said.
The official, who did not wish to be identified, added that import requirements are reviewed every quarter and orders are placed to international suppliers depending on the supply potential from Coal India.
"NTPC intends to bring down its imports to zero in the next five years and if Coal India can supply bulk of our requirements we will definitely revise our import figures. Additional ly, NTPC's own coal mines are set to start production soon," he said.
A senior CIL official gave credit to NTPC for receiving as much coal as possible through its infrastructure, adding that railways played a key role in coal movement.
According to the official, Coal India has earmarked 78% of its planned production of 550 million tonnes, or 430 million tonnes, to be supplied to the power utility sector.
In 2014-15, Coal India's supplies to power utilities increased 8.6% compared to that in the previous year, he said, adding that dispatch of coal and coal products from the miner also increased to 384.18 million tonnes, up 30.35 million tonnes from that in the preceding year.
"The coal miner efforts are focused on reducing the imports to the extent possible by increasing coal supplies to the power sector," he said.
CIL helped NTPC boost its coal stock to 9.06 million tonnes as of March 2015, from just 1.6 million tonnes at the end of September last year. The healthy coal stock was due to enhanced coal supply from Coal India's subsidiaries to NTPC, especially in the second half of 2014-15.
"While acknowledging increased coal stock at its stations, NTPC was hopeful that CIL would maintain similar supply trend during 2015-16," the Coal India official said.

Chris Pratt Says Bradley Cooper Is Changing His Voice Up For ROCKET RACCOON
Guardians of the Galaxy is shrouded in mystery, but the one thing fans are dying to know more about is Rocket Raccoon. We saw a few pieces of concept art and a very brief glimpse of the gun-totting raccoon in some of the leaked Comic-Con footage, but that’s it. We know Bradley Cooper is lending his vocal talents to the character, but apparently James Gunn has him chained up in a basement somewhere since no one has gotten a word out of the actor about the role. In a recent interview with IGN, Chris “Star-Lord” Pratt talked a little bit about Cooper‘s voice over work and what it was like working with Benicio del Toro.
After explaining that principal photography was completed but that they would go back and do a few reshoots and touch-ups when Gunn finishes his cut of the movie, Pratt was asked if he had any scenes with del Toro‘s Collector. Taneleer Tivan aka The Collector had a surprising appearance in the mid-credits scene of Thor, and it looks like Gunn‘s description of the character as “Liberace in space” is very fitting. Pratt talked about working with del Toro and how it was an absolute treat:
I did, I got to work with Benicio del Toro on Guardians of the Galaxy and he it was awesome. He is truly an artist. Captivating to watch. I learned so much watching him. He’s like the king of behavior. He’s the kind of guy that is doing something physically that isn’t on the page, it’s just something he brought. It’s something I learned a lot from. I aspire to be able to do something like that.
When asked about the odd choice of Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon, Pratt was very complimentary of Cooper and put some fans’ minds at ease with a brief word about Rocket‘s voice. Many had been concerned that Cooper would just do his normal voice for the furry little guy, but Pratt says Gunn and the actor worked up something different for the character:
I think it’s a really good choice. I think you need a great actor to play Rocket Raccoon. Also, he brings a star quality to this movie that is really a benefit. We have a great cast of good actors, but we don’t have Bradley Cooper in the movie until we have Bradley Cooper in the movie. That’s a really, really amazing boon for us. We’re super excited. I really trust James Gunn, the director, and he had a reason for choosing Bradley. He’s saying now the voice they’ve been working on, they’ve created, is really awesome. So it’s not just going to be Bradley Cooper, it’s going to be Bradley Cooper doing this voice…the voice of Rocket, which is like the best character in the movie. I’m really, really excited and I can’t wait to meet him because I’m a really big fan.
Cooper is actually really good at impressions and accents. If you’ve got ten or fifteen minutes, I highly recommend you go to YouTube and check out a few of his late night talk show appearances to hear his vocal range. A lot of people (myself included) wished Rocket would have a cockney accent like he has in several of his cartoon appearances, but we’ll just have to wait and see…or rather hear, what Gunn and Cooper have worked out. What do you think about Pratt‘s comments?
