Supply Chain Management
Having understood the impact and the undisputable success of the lean philosophy applied in many organisations world over. Can we come to a conclusion that the next milestone, after the craft production and mass production, is going to be the lean production? To answer this question, one needs to first establish whether the lean approach can fit to all business environments now and in the future. Researches and literatures so far appear to believe the otherwise.
The critical argument here is that the lean system was developed from a forecasting based volume production industrial sector where the market
differentiator is reliability and cost, and today large part of our global market is variety dominated and the differentiator is speed and responsiveness. Hence, lean probably is not a cure-all approach after all.
In this section we will discuss the basic beliefs and attitudes that organizations want to promote as well as recognizing that there can be different pressures on owners and managers at different stages of a company's life as it moves from start up, through growth and maybe to some form of end stage.
These developments will be driven by the financial aims set by the owners and translated into objectives to be achieved by the selection of the correct strategic objectives which have a chance of being successfully delivered. If immediate pressures or threats are encountered which require urgent evaluation and action then this can reduce the opportunity to focus on the supply chain relationships. A consideration of the possibilities of actively managing and becoming involved in the supply chain is dependent on there being time to think about the medium and long term.
To date, our world market is dominated mostly by many well established global brands. Over the last three decades, there have been a steady trend of global
market convergence – the tendency that indigenous markets start converge on a set of similar products or services across the world. The end-result of the
global market convergence is that companies have succeeded on their products or services now have the whole wide world to embrace for their marketing as
well as sourcing.
Over the span of circa 40 years time, from the beginning of 1950s to the end of 1980s, Toyota led Japanese automotive industry created a unique production / manufacturing system, which brought the industry from the ruins of the 2nd World War to the biggest automobile exporter in the world. That system was known as the Toyota Production System (TPS), now more commonly known as lean manufacturing. The term 'lean' was first coined in a large scale research programme called IMVP (International Motor Vehicle Programme) initiated by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
The primary concern of the programme was the unanticipated yet strong competitive advantages of Japanese automotive industry over that of American's and European's. The key findings of the programme have been published in many books and articles. One of them is a bestseller book entitled "The Machine that Changed the World", in which the term 'lean' is defined as we know it today.
This section considers what it is that is needed to successfully deliver customer satisfaction recognizing that many market places and customer groups have
their own special challenges. This means again that there is no one solution to all of these and so more evaluation and managerial choice is necessary and
this needs to be done regularly.
In section 2 we discussed what could look like very many confusing choices to make in finding suitable customer opportunities and framing
an effective value proposition to provide the opportunity for customer satisfaction. We need to find a way to simplify these choices and
in this section we do this by the use of the concepts of order qualifiers and order winners.
Strategic Role of Purchasing
Purchasing function
has a strategically indispensible role to play in supply chain management. It covers the sourcing end of supply chain management interfacing with the
delivery end of the suppliers.
Today more and more essential processes are conducted across enterprise borders, inducing additional challenges in terms of different languages, process types and ontology. Business Process Modelling (BPM) and Simulation are well-understood methods to analyze and optimize the processes within an enterprise. However, they can also be used for cross-organizational application, especially if they are combined with reference structures.
Supply relationship
can be defined as the cross organisational interaction and exchange between the participating members of the supply chain. This means that the relationship is between organisations not individual people within the same supply chain where the material flows defines the boundary. However for the inter-organisational interaction that falls outside of the main streams of the material flows, then it may not be called collaborative relationship or partnership relation, but may not be the supply relationship. Supply relationship can be either on the upstream side with the suppliers or on the downstream side with the buyers. If the relationship is solely observed between one supply and one buyer, it is also called dyadic relationship.
Boundaries of the Firm
In section 2 we discussed the strategic choices involved in the Make/Do or Buy/ Trade decision and the answers to this will largely
determine to where the boundaries of the firm or business extend. Activities performed by third parties in the supply market are definitely supply chain
ones with the opportunities and threats that that implies. Choosing the trade rather than do option suggests more flexibility to respond to market changes
but the company has to choose its partners carefully since much of the success of the value delivery to ultimate customers is now going to be dependent on
these third parties. Ideally we do not want them to think like third parties but to consider themselves as part of our extended capability family. However
each of the interacting parties needs to want to think like this for it to happen and there has to be a strong business justification for so doing.
For years, researchers and practitioners have primarily investigated the various processes within manufacturing supply chains individually. Recently,
however, there has been increasing attention placed on the performance, design, and analysis of the supply chain as a whole.
Thisattention is largely a result of the rising costs of manufacturing, the shrinking resources of manufacturing bases, shortened product life cycles, the
leveling of the playing field within manufacturing, and the globalization of market economies. The objectives of this paper are to:
One of the important issues in supply chain management is to design and plan out the overall architecture of the supply chain network and the value adding flows that go through it. This means that managers should step back and looks at the supply chain as a whole and formulates strategies and processes that maximise the total supply chain value-adding and minimises the total supply chain costs.
What is supply chain management: basically this is group of independent organisations connected together through the products and services that they separately and/or jointly add value on in order to deliver them to the end consumer. It is very much an extended concept of an organisation which adds value to its products or services and delivers them to its customers. But what is the benefit of understanding the value adding from the supply chain perspective? Why managing supply chain is becoming necessary and important to today's business success? These are some of the fundamental questions that must be first addressed before discussing the "how to" questions.
In this section we will discuss the background systems that can be used to fit the supply capability to the customer requirement before going on to discuss
the kinds of skills needed by the people employed in this set of activities.
What's the future holds for supply chain management? The future of supply chain management is the future of the business management when there will be no business that is not part of a supply chain. The paradigm of business management will soon be converged to the paradigm of supply chain management. To precisely fortune-tell the future of supply chains is meaningless. But what's useful is to identify and explore some challenges that we better prepare ourselves for. Three key challenges have been identified and discussed here.

Reclamation: South-of-Delta water contractors to receive 100 percent water supply
Following an exceptionally wet winter, the Bureau of Reclamation has announced it will release 100 percent of water supply allocations for Central Valley Project (CVP) water contractors South-of-Delta. This marks the first time in 11 years – since 2006 – that water contractors have been slated to receive a 100 percent allocation.
Earlier in the water year Reclamation announced water contractors except the agricultural South-of-Delta contractors would receive a 100 percent allocation; Municipal and Industrial (M&I) contractors South-of-Delta had originally been allocated 90 percent of their contracted supply.
However, an abundant and nearly record-breaking snow water equivalent (SWE) measured in the Sierra Nevada has resulted in the new 100 percent allocation. The March 30 SWE was measured at 45.8 inches or 164 percent of the historical average for that date which stands at 27.9 inches. Reclamation is now able to increase the South-of-Delta water allocation as a result of the abundant snowpack in the central and southern Sierra Nevada mountains.
"Following the California Department of Water Resources exceptional March 30 snow survey results, Reclamation is pleased to announce this increase to a 100 percent allocation for our South-of-Delta water contractors," said Acting Regional Director Pablo Arroyave. "However, as Governor Brown reminded us last week when lifting California's drought state of emergency, the next drought could be around the corner. It is crucial that we remain vigilant in conserving our precious water resources."
California's Gov. Brown lifted the state's drought state of emergency on April 7 but cautioned Californians that "Conservation must remain a way of life."
California Department of Water Resources Acting Director Bill Croyle has also cautioned Californians saying, "Technically, the drought is over, but…careful, sparing use of water from backyards to businesses and farm fields will help us endure the next inevitable drought."
As of April 11, Reclamation announced these updated water supply allocations for South-of-Delta contractors:
- M&I water service contractors South-of-Delta are allocated 100 percent of their contract supply.
- Agricultural water service contractors South-of-Delta are allocated 100 percent of their contract supply.
With the new allocations, Reclamation has strongly encouraged the use of surface supplies instead of groundwater wherever possible through the remainder of the 2017 water year. In order to promote the effective use of supplies in San Luis Reservoir this year — and efficiency for next year's operations –Reclamation will limit the overall amount of water to be carried over to the 2018 contract year to 150,000 acre-feet. Reclamation will continue to work with contractors regarding a strategy for water carried over from the 2016 water year and plans to effectively carry over water for the 2018 contract year.

Ph.D. Candidate, Musicology
Project: Networks of Musicians at Sacred Institutions in Late Seventeenth-Century Venice
My dissertation examines networks of musicians in Early Modern Venice, focusing on the career of the composer Giovanni Legrenzi. Legrenzi worked for several prominent Venetian institutions from the early 1670s to his death in 1690, and ultimately was appointed to the most prestigious musical posts in the city. The musicians he worked with also served multiple institutions, either simultaneously or in succession, and their relationships with other musicians, patrons, and administrators often facilitated their movement between institutions. Legrenzi's Venetian career presents an excellent case study of these musical connections in late seventeenth-century Venice, and studying these connections will demonstrate how networks of musicians functioned in this time period.
I am examining approximately 1,500 documents, mostly unpublished, from the Venetian institutions where Legrenzi was active between 1670 and 1690. I am primarily working with payment, hiring, and termination records, which document the activity of the musicians active in these institutions. Working on an extension of TEI, I am transcribing the documents and enriching them with semantic markup and annotations in order to make the data discoverable and further processable to reveal the complex relations between people and institutions. I also hope to work with different platforms to enable a graphic represenation of the musicians' networks over a timeline. This project will be the foundation of a more extensive project of a web-based repository on musicians and musical activity in Early Modern Venice, and will hopefully benefit other scholars conducting similar archival research.

Project: Virtually Victorian: From Type-writer Girls to Magic Lantern Shows
Mary's work explores the ways in which virtual environments can recreate or simulate Victorian performance media, reading experiences, and working-class culture. Her most recent efforts include two projects, the first of which is a citizen science project which is being developed through collaboration with Dr. Karen Bourrier (University of Calgary) and Dr. Edith Law (University of Waterloo). The game asks users to imagine themselves as typewriter girls working in late-Victorian London in order to complete a range of transcription tasks. As gamers progress, they will gain paleography skills while learning more about the lives of these working women and about the historical figures who authored the materials that they are transcribing. The second project stems from her dissertation on the magic lantern shows and missionaries. She hopes to create an interactive map of performances that included a magic lantern in order to visualize broader trends in Victorian screen culture.

Project: Transmen use of crowdsourcing and its implications for identity and privacy concerns
Ms. Niki Fritz is currently working on an interdisciplinary project that investigates the identity shift and privacy concerns of transmen who use crowdsourcing to raise funding for top surgeries. Twenty transmen or queer-identified individuals were interviewed in a semi-structured format. In addition to exploring financial gains and possible privacy concerns, including privacy wagers online, Fritz is investigating how the experience shaped and shifted participant's self-concept in potentially beneficial ways. She hopes the project will shed light on how an under-represented community uses crowd-sourcing as well potentially helping future minority individuals navigate the online crowdsourcing realm.

Project: William of Tyre: A History of Deeds Done Beyond the Sea
William of Tyre is arguably the most used primary source by Crusade historians. His history of the Kingdom of Jerusalem offers many first hand accounts of the events that transpired in the Levant prior to William's death in 1186. My project entails creating a website with a digitized version of the English translation of A History of Deeds Done Beyond the Sea, which was translated by Emily Babcock and A.C. Krey. The website will also include an interactive map with the locations and events discussed in William's account of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. In the future I would also like to add information regarding the various personalities and institutions he mentions. Eventually I would also like to include a transcription of the original Latin text alongside the English translation. I hope this site will be used as a research and teaching tool.
Project: Feeling Violation: Digital/Physical Approaches to Sexual Violence
My project asks how we can use digital tools and methods to help readers gain new critical perspectives on literary representations of sexual violence and the writing and reading bodies interacting with those representations. Heavily influenced by feminist methodologies, I focus on the bodies behind literary texts, specifically how those bodies can be represented using digital interventions and innovations. My current approach to these larger inquiries focuses on stage directions in Renaissance drama, particularly those that direct an actor's body in relation to a sexually violent act. How can digital tools help readers more viscerally experience the demands placed on an actor's body in such moments? To answer questions like this, I will in part examine my primary texts using quantitative analysis methods, mainly to discover what our quantitatively driven tools obscure as they convert a text into data.
I will also turn to humanist and fine arts methodologies often outside the scope of digital literary studies to experiment with alternative approaches to interacting with a text. For instance, can we experience the demand on an actor's body more viscerally if we can engage with a text's violent language tactilely rather than visually or aurally? In this vein, I have already done some work with 3D modeling and laser cutting to produce 3D objects that tactilely render the violence of a text's language—allowing the reader to feel, rather than simply see, the violence. Moving forward, I hope to incorporate performance art components that will ask readers to engage physically and kinesthetically with a text. By incorporating these interdisciplinary approaches to the texts I study, my digital project is a response to distant reading and big data methods currently prevalent in digital literary studies, and aims to demonstrate the exciting possibilities of increasingly interdisciplinary digital agendas.

Project: Building a Comic Book Readership Digital Archive
Dr. John Walsh's Comic Book Readership Archive project, or CoBRA, proposes to build a digital archive—of primary source material and related data sets—to document, compile, and analyze American comic book readership and fandom. The archive will include content from such sources as: fan mail, fan club publications and membership rolls, contests sponsored by publishers and fan clubs, fanzines, and programs and attendee records from comic book conventions and similar events. The project will provide access to a large and growing archive for the study of comic book readership and will facilitate new research questions about comic books expressed in new forms of scholarship such as interactive maps, timelines, network graphs, other information visualizations, and computationally-assisted content and data analysis. My work on the COBRA project involves designing and implementing the MySQL foundational database, data entry interface, and APIs; general project management and training of fellow student workers; and further data analysis and visualization of the future information stored in the database.

Project: On Mapping the Digital Geopsychic
The human ability to recreate physical spaces within their own mind has been well documented throughout the ages, and recent advances in neuroscience and psychology have allowed for concrete answers to some of the mechanistic questions that have risen. With the advent of the internet, this peculiar facet of the human animal is granted another layer of context: a responsive, dynamic simulacrum of reality that practically begs to be mapped out within the psyche. In prior research on this subject of translational mapping I have referred to the created mental space as 'the geopsychic'; in most cases, certain key aspects of the physical space will trigger this recreation. These aspects are quite varied, but four large categories of a shared space can be defined with some ease (included with definitions, examples of real-space and digital space): 1) Social (i.e. Town Square, Festival, Facebook, OkCupid), 2) Market (i.e. Granary, Grocery Store, Amazon, Etsy); 3) Archive (i.e. Museum, Gallery, Google Books, JStor); 4) Wilds (i.e. Second-hand Store, Brothel, Pornography, 'Deep Web').
The focus of my proposed research is to better understand the aforementioned mapping of the geopsychic in regards to digital space. I propose to undertake this primarily through analysis of web traffic: another intriguing parallel to the study of pilgrimage(s) affiliated with translational mapping of real-space. Specifically, I would like to utilize word searches and traffic data for this purpose. As the subject matter is geographical in theory (reflected in much of the language; i.e. 'traffic'), I am considering aggregating the data into some variety of graphical map. Preferably, this would show the interrelation between the listed archetypal spaces, giving a more cohesive view of 'digital space'.

One of my favorite things to do is visit plant nurseries. It's always fascinating to see the innovations and all of the great plants. And, the people are some of the best folks around. It's even more fun when I get introduced to a new, or just improved, plant. In recent weeks, I have seen a new selection of Shantung maple and an improvement of our native fringe tree or Old Man's Beard.
Shantung maple (Acer truncatum) isn't one you typically see in the garden centers and nurseries. Introduced from China and Japan in the 1880s, this 25 to 30-foot tree has a reputation for tolerating less-than-ideal growing conditions. The only place I had seen it until recently was in the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C.
During a trip to a nursery outside of Greenville, I happened upon a block of trees with brilliant orange-red fall color. This turned out to be a patented selection of Shantung maple called Mainstreet. You can probably guess they think this tree may be perfect in the limited root areas and miserable growing conditions along city streets but they selected Mainstreet because it has significantly better and more consistent fall color than the typical seed-grown Shantung maples.
I have always thought of this small tree as one that performs better in a slightly cooler climate than ours. That may be the case, but we will be planting Mainstreet in the Brunswick Botanical Garden in Bolivia and the arboretum in Wilmington in the next couple of months. We will see how this supposedly tough tree handles our heat and humidity.
If it handles our conditions, it will be a great addition to the plant palette. Most maples don't handle limited-root areas. Think about all of the red maples you see in parking lots infested with gloomy scale because of the stress. This Shantung maple may be the right choice for toughness and fall color, but we'll have to grow it for few years to know for sure.
At another nursery near Raleigh I found an improved selection of Old Man's Beard. Its Latin name is Chionanthus virginicus, which just means the Chionanthus from Virginia. Those of you who know this spring-blooming (late March/early April) native with bright white flowers probably know that it could mean, "won't root from cuttings." That has stymied the use of improved selections because none of us could ever get it to root. Propagation from seed was the only choice.
Now, we have an improved variety that is aptly named Spring Fleecing. It sports heavier flowering, excellent dark green leaves and more of a small tree form. Many of the seed-grown Chionanthus tend to grow more as large, multi-stemmed shrubs. Culture is rather easy: light shade to full sun, decent drainage, and soil with a bit of organic matter. Help it out with some extra water during the first growing season and you should be able to sit back and enjoy it from there.
The price will be may be a little higher than some of the others. Even though this nurseryman has been able to get it to root from cuttings, the percentages are very low, but one look at it in full bloom this spring and you'll be glad you spent the extra money.

Poem of the Month: June 2008
Can't see close any more,
never could see far,
varifocal glasses
like milk-bottle arses.
And my eyes are having
one last pre-new prescription joke
at my expense.
This morning's gas-bill
I read as
Your gay statement
and consequently couldn't make sense
volume conversion factor
calorific value
standing charges
credit carried forward
it all seemed rather cheering somehow,
after all those monthly payments,
to see
a whole life celebrated
in the final lines
with an
outstanding balance.
© James M Nash
Poem of the Month: May 2008
short cut
With the confidence of the very drunk
I claim intimate knowledge
of a short cut.
We clamber over a corporation stile,
self-consciously authentic,
and the salad green of young hawthorn leaves
brushes our faces.
Suddenly the stars make sense
now we are in the landscape.
The hedges grow as they have always grown
separating ancient fields.
Houses and factories disappear.
Some distillation,
like long stored country wine,
is in the air,
the breeze,
the soft-crushed grass.
We hold hands like children in a story-book
clutching each other
with thin laughter,
old fears bursting our urban skin,
as large animals
rise from the ground,
lifting themselves like giants' feet,
and lumber off snorting
leaving only their heat behind.
© James Nash (Deadly Sensitive) 1999

I like my smoothies…green.
Those are five words I never ever thought I would utter in the same sentence.
I would buy kale, spinach, and bok choy in the hopes of weaving it into our daily foods. And in theory, the greens would excite me. They are nutrient dense, packed with tons of good things that our bodies need. And yet…when it came time to make a meal with the greens. I'd procrastinate.
When I finally cooked greens, I would do my best to stuff them into my mouth. Or hide them under other foods. Just so I could get a few bites in. But it never worked. And in the end, I would push the greens to the side and finish my meal.
I would do this dance every few month, thinking that it might have been the recipe. Or the green. But it was always the same result: procrastination, nausea, waste.
I was beginning to think that it was a lost cause. Until I tried a green smoothie at the Whole Foods Nutrition MeetUp. It. Was. Delicious. So delicious, in fact, that kale made it back on the grocery list. And has already been whipped into the first of many green smoothies.
Turns out, cooked greens and I don't get along. Throw in a leaf or two of kale into a smoothie, and it disappears with 5 minutes.

Re: [Covenanted Reformation Club] A Case of Conscience

- Dear Matthew,
Thank you for clarifying your thoughts, now I wonder how does one sit up a
e-group or club without a host like yahoo, is it possible to have a group on
one's own so that you do not have to be a member of it? I think all such
hosts require some kind of signing membership in order to be able to
discipline those who would use the group/club in a unbecoming manner....like
one submitting "porn" or something else untasteful or sinful, assaulting the
other folks on that list. Does anyone belong to a group that does not
require the person to become a member of it?

some questions.
What kind of association do you consider signing up for Yahoo to be?
A civil association, a religious association, or a mixed association?

Traditional "Raw" African Black Soap originates from West African regions in countries such as Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Togo, and Morocco. It has been made by local tribes like the Hausa, dating as far back as the Pharaonic period when it was used for cleansing and purification in spiritual ceremonies. Also known as Anago or Alata Samina, which translates as "Black" Soap or "African Black" Soap, each tribe has their own secret recipe for making it that is passed from generation to generation. Traditional "Raw" African Black Soap is not the mass produced Black Soap found in boxes in stores around the world. It has a delicate natural texture and is known by its rustic, patchy, crumbling appearance that has a rich and creamy lather.
Our Traditional "Raw" African Black Soap is a great all-natural cleansing substance for the hair, face and body. It is made with Plantain and Shea Butter which make it ideal for those with normal or sensitive skin. Plantain is an "alterative herb", one of about 100 plants that cleanse and correct impure conditions of the blood, eliminative tissues and organs. Plantain has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-microbial properties and can also relieve rashes, itching, bleeding (internal & external), bee stings, spider and snake bites. It is an "all around" herb that can also be used internally and externally for serious health issues like tuberculosis and syphilis.
Traditional "Raw" African Black Soap is a natural pH balancer for all skin types and is recommended by dermatologist and physicians, even Dr. Oz has highlighted it on his show. Its anti-septic properties lend to its ability to normalize various skin conditions from those suffering from acne to those with eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. It has even been used on rashes, ringworm, and to prevent body odor.
How to store: Store in a dry container, bag, or cloth. When exposed to air, the top layer of Traditional Raw African Black Soap may oxidize (turn white). This is not mold. You can use your soap as is or, if you prefer, shave the white oxidized soap off and discard.
Caution: If you are allergic to latex, you may have a reaction to the plantain ash in the Traditional Raw African Black Soap, as well as palm and coconut oil. If you are allergic to chocolate or sensitive to caffeine, there could be high concentrations of cocoa pods (which makes the ash) used in this soap.

You may know a bit about me from the stories I've shared in these blogs. If you know me in real life, you'll know that I'm also a storyteller in person. I'll talk your head off.
The one person who hears my storytelling the most is my daughter Jules. She doesn't seem to mind at all, and even seems to get into it. She follows along, and then likes to blurt out my punchlines or story endings. I'll see her start to grin towards the end of the story, and right as I'm about to deliver the ending, she'll stand up and interrupt "So then Daddy says, that's not even my dog!" (followed by her wild kid laughter).
So lately, when I see her listening and starting to grin, I'll just point at her to finish the story. She stands up and clears her throat…. "So then Daddy says, hey wait,at our house EVERY burger is a Sriracha burger! Hahahahahaha!" That sort of thing. A little storyteller in training.
Just because I enjoy sharing stories with people in real life doesn't mean I'm very good at it. I end up retelling stories so often, I've forgotten which folks have heard them. I sometimes get the "Yes Jeff, I've heard this one 5 times. You tried to straddle the wheels around the possum in the road with Mike the Greek's car and he jumped up at the last second and exploded."
Or, friends will cut me off and go "Yeah, I read this one on the blog. Your dad ran into the burning trailer when he heard crying children, but they were just kittens." I read that like 5 years ago.
Or even worse, they go "Dammit man, I was there too. I was literally standing right next to you and saw and heard all the same stuff."
Some of my friends are brilliant storytellers, much better than I am. My best friend Dre is a master orator. He can really capture an audience, and his way of describing events makes you feel like you were there. But if you know him as well as I do, you sometimes have to quickly stifle a laugh when he gets to parts that you know didn't happen, like when he casually (and brilliantly) peppers in subtle details like the time he went to truckdriving school.
To counter this, Dre refers to all of my stories as "Jeffsploitations." As I get to the end of a tale, he'll do some quick fact-sharing with the audience. "Hey everybody, there weren't fifty goats in the road, I was there. There were like twelve of them. And none of them were wearing a sombrero."
I was recently talking to a new group of friends, and when we got to the "so what do you do?" part of the discussion, I casually mentioned that I'm a cat chiropractor and then quickly changed the subject. So right now there's a small group of people who (1) think that's a real thing and (2) think I make my living that way. I changed my occupation on Facebook to reflect the same details. I imagine there's some guy in a fancy office who runs your card for $85, and then takes Mittens into the back room to pet him while he watches Bob's Burgers for an hour.
But here's the thing – the joke was on me. I looked it up and cat chiropractors are a real thing. I need to update my cat chiropractor-focused resume and make this thing happen.

Scenes - Sarikei Basketball
Long before black and white TV came to Sarikei in mid 1970s, Sarikei had already started its own basketball matches without the need to watch the early American NBA stars with their ultra short pants and super long legs.
Note the clay court. Find the man carrying an old camera.

In those days, the basketball court was made of clay and the above picture was likely taken at Methodist School's court on the current location of Methodist Church, next to the previous wooden church. This was one the earliest basketball courts in Sarikei, if not the earliest.
The earliest and most formidable basketball team was Flying Saucer(飞碟) and one of the players was Cou Fu and he's related to the Chen family. He worked for Kong Hup Heng 廣合興 at No. 5 Wharf Road. Cou Fu married the daughter of Kim Seng Ang of No. 3 Wharf Road. The center forward for Flying Saucer (飞碟) was the tall Tiong Hon Ming. The Sarikei basketball association even hired a coach who was a legendary ex-player from the professional team, Nanyang Shang Pao newspapers 南洋商報, of Malaya. (Source: Reader Lidasar)
Tiong Hung Ming张鸿明 was a good guard but not a good scorer.The other guard was Wong Siew Mee王受美 (the eldest son of Wong Ngiong Hua). Another guard, Lim Ah Tu 林亚都, was a half court sharp shooter.
The pillars of the team were Chen Cou Fu 陈潮富 and Ting Ing Mou 陈永谋, the two most feared by Sibu and Kuching teams.They could create perfect layup for each to score .They nicknamed Cou Fu满场飞. He married the third of the 6 daughters of Kim Seng Ann.金成安In the early 50s, a marine pilot, Captain Lo 罗寄生, was often asked to be the referee of. important matches. He was a huge man weighing not less than 110 kg. He could hardly run on the court to follow the ball but he was strict refree. He often ate 3 plates of kam pua or 70 dumplings 饺子at one go. He was from 天津 Tianjin and was a graduate of 上海交通大学. He captained a ship from Tianjin to Tanjung Manis. From mid 1950s, Chua Kim Hin (of No. 3 Wharf Road) and Wong Yuk Feng (of No. 1 Wharf Road) took over as regular refrees. It was no easy job because gangsters gambled on the matches!

In the 1950's, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of Chen Ko Ming made use of a piece of land beside their building to build a proper basketball court. The original court was open air without roofing and the seats were only built on one side (the side with the back facing the padang). In the early 1960s, Mr. Leong 梁 明 德 started a donation drive to reconstruct a stadium with roofing. With the support of the public, the stadium was constructed in 1962-1963 in time for the Kwang Lee Bank Inter-District cup.
The basketball stadium was a massive project by Sarikei's standard, The metal frame for holding the stadium roof was ordered and shipped from Australia. The wooden seats were built with concrete support on all four sides. The Sarikei's women team was the pride of the town for winning the 1st Kwang Lee Cup. Teams from Singapore like the 綠鷹 (Green Eagles) were invited to play the local teams in the new stadium.
The 2nd Kwang Lee Bank Cup was played in Kuching and the whole town went wild when our women's team returned as champion. The local folks welcomed the girls with lion dance, fire crackers, a garland of fresh flowers over each lady and victory parade around the town.
Mr.Leong 梁 明 德 from Singapore worked as the manager for Kwang Lee Bank. He was a prominent figure in the early days holding such position as the vice chairman of the Cantonese Association from 1955 - 1966. Salute to these two prominent figures for building the old basketball court beside Chinese Chamber of Commerce: Kapitan Chen Ko Ming and Mr.Leong.

Basketball games moved to the 2 open courts next to the new sports stadium near Nyelong Park. In 2006, the public basketball stadium opened in Jalan Jambu, off Jalan Rentap, across the Sarikei River.

The legendary queen of Sarikei basketball is Chieng Suk Ung (詹淑文). She's married to the eldest son Wong Yik Siew 黃毓秀 of No. 1 Wharf Road. She captained the Sarikei's women's team that became the state champion in the 1960s. She was the daughter of a teacher from Sarikei High School and learned her skills on the school's basketball court. She and her sister formed the most talented basketball family of old Sarikei.

The stadium was popular for basketball in the 1970's where epic battles between men's teams like 海峽 (Sea Straits) and 東方 (East Side) were eagerly awaited in the annual double knockout competition. In the 1970-1980's, Sarikei hosted the Sarawak divisional competitions like basketball, volleyball and tabletennis which were rotated around the seven divisions then.
The most exciting match we hosted had to be the ladies' basketball finals in the late 1970s where Sarikei, the underdogs, nearly toppled Kuching who had leng teoh (match fright). We lost by 5 points. Our Sarikei ladies were coached by Mr Sim Teck Hong (ex-Sekolah Tinggi teacher). On paper, Sarikei ladies were not as technically skilled as the Kuching gals who could even do "jump shots" like guys but our home crowd frenzy drove them on. The home crowd yelled and the roof resonated. They clapped and banged the benches. The stadium literally shook. Both teams cried after the stressful match.

Sarikei has proudly contributed several state and country level players for basketball and volleyball. This is mainly due to good facilities in the schools and the town and youth programs like inter school and youth competitions.
Our most famous basketball player is the sharp shooter, Ah Kuen or "Longman" of St Anthony's School, who represented Malaysia several times. I think he's working in Kuching now.
Well, this is the long story of Sarikei basketball.

Effects of pectin pentaoligosaccharide from hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge. var. Major) on the activity and mRNA levels of enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation in the liver of mice fed a high-fat diet

The regulatory effects of haw pectin pentaoligosaccharide (HPPS) on fatty acid oxidation-related enzyme activities and mRNA levels were investigated in the liver of high fat diet induced hyperlipidemic mice. Results showed that HPPS (150 mg/kg for 10 weeks) significantly suppresses weight gain (32.3 ± 0.26 and 21.1 ± 0.14 g for high-fat diet and HPPS groups, respectively), decreases serum triacylglycerol levels (1.64 ± 0.09 and 0.91 ± 0.02 mmol/L, respectively), and increases lipid excretion in feces (55.7 ± 0.38 and 106.4 ± 0.57 mg/g for total lipid, respectively), compared to high-fat diet as control. HPPS significantly increased the hepatic fatty acid oxidation-related enzyme activities of acyl-CoA oxidase, carnitine palmitoyltransferase I, 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, and 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase by 53.8, 74.2, 47.1, and 24.2%, respectively. Meanwhile, the corresponding mRNAs were up-regulated by 89.6, 85.8, 82.9, and 30.9%, respectively. Moreover, HPPS was able to up-regulate the gene and protein expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α. Results suggest that continuous HPPS ingestion may be used as dietary therapy to prevent obesity and cardiovascular diseases. © 2013 American Chemical Society.

Flanges are connected to each other with the use of fasteners and gaskets.Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy used for applications that require corrosion and high temperature resistance. This nickel alloy was designed for service temperatures from cryogenic to elevated temperatures in the range of 2000° F. It is non-magnetic, has excellent mechanical properties, and presents the desirable combination of high strength and good weldability under a wide range of temperatures. The high nickel content in Inconel 600 enables it to retain considerable resistance under reducing conditions, makes it resistant to corrosion by a number of organic and inorganic compounds, gives it excellent resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking and also provides excellent resistance to alkaline solutions. Typical applications of this nickel alloy include the chemical, pulp and paper, aerospace, nuclear engineering and heat treating indus."Inconel 600" is an annexed registered trademark name for over twenty different alloys with high corrosion resistance and high strength capabilities that are produced by special metals corporation. Inconel 600 flanges are preferred in mega projects because of their excellent mechanical qualities at extremely low temperatures as well as extremely high temperatures.

Season of Lights
Dunes of vapors from crackers rise,
Engulf, as odorous airs resound
Effusing joys to all abound
Pearls of gleams in these autumn nights
Adorn our lives else trite
With sparklers that motley skies
As soaring spirits of powder wander
Let us thank the heavenly might,
In this festive season of lights…!!
A Poem for Diwali
As echelons of zillion lights adorn,
and echoes of triumph and thunder swarm,
watching even a tiny gleam perform,
devoring ill,
sparkling joy despite forlorn,
exhorts a hearty & happy year merely born…!!
Sonnet: Diwali
Today's the 'Festival of Lights' all o'er;
A joyful day for minds and hearts and souls;
And people throng the Temples to offer,
Prayers, resolving to take better roles….!!
And most of them are richly clad and clean,
And eat such dainty foods and sweets with mirth;
Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights are seen,
It seems to be a happy day on Earth!!!
But are there not hearts woe-filled, very sad?
Denied of laughter, smiles for days;
Today's the triumph of Good over bad;
But what about the wastage in much ways?
True joy is when you see someone else smile!
True charity gives joy in Heav'nly style.
The sweet smell of flowers
The array of colors
Diwali is here
Firecrackers are heard
Candles are lit
Children play
Presents are given
We pray to the gods
Diwali is here.
Happiness of 'Diwali'
Joy, Joy, Joy,
We can play with our cousins
We can eat so many sweets
We can fire crackers
We can worship Goddess Lakshmi because
It is Diwali
Happy Diwali

Deepavali Delights
Deepavali is here, Deepavali is here
That grand festival of Lights
That ends evil after a protracted fight
When good with all its might
Leads us from darkness to Light.
Deepavali is here, Deepavali is here
That great festival of sound
When crackers and laughter abound
When crackers and sparklers light up the sky
When delighted children jump with joy.
Deepavali is here, Deepavali is here
That gorgeous festival of snacks and sweets
Where everyone enjoys a royal feast
When old and young with delight meet
With love and affection all hearts beat.
Diwali is here, Diwali is here
That gracious festival which celebrates victory
The ancient festival of myth and mystery
That is mentioned in both mythology and history
The festival that signals Triumph over Tragedy.
Ayi Re Ayi Diwali

Dil ko khush karne ayi Diwali

Khushiya dekho lai diwal

Happy Diwali Essay in Hindi English
1. Deepavali – The Brightest Festival
Diwali, popularly called Deepavali in some parts of India, is a festival which we all long for every year. The preparations for Deepavali start long before the festival date.
First, the excitement for us would be the new dresses that are bought to be worn for Deepavali. Since Deepavali is a festival for more than 2 days, we have 2 or 3 new dresses. Apart from this all elders visiting us buy us sweets and dresses also. Jeans, T shirts, Trousers and shirts were all bought for me by my parents.
The other major excitement for Deepavali is the bursting of crackers and fireworks. This year we burst lot of crackers. Earlier I used to be afraid of crackers. Now I have got over the fear of bursting crackers. My parents tell me that I have to be very careful while bursting. I followed their advice and there was no fire accident also. Sparklers, Rockets, Ground Chakkars and Flower pots were our favorites besides the Thousand thousand sparks bomb.
The third rejoicing aspect of Deepavali is the eating of sweets. We visit relatives and friends with sweets and snacks. They also visit us with sweets and snacks. We seek their blessings on the festival day. Gulab jamun, Laddoos, Halwas and Kaju cakes were my favorites.
My grandmother tells me that the victory of Good over Evil is the reason for this celebration. She also says that the festival is to mark the return of Rama to Ayodhya after his defeat of Ravana.
Lots of people also start new ventures on this day after performing Lakshmi Puja. This is marked by lighting of lamps, candles and diyas by the women folk in the family. The light and colour add to the celebrations.
In all, I can say that Deepavali is the brightest festival to be celebrated in India. The delicious food associated with the feast makes us feel that this festival must come more often in a year.
2. Diwali – A Five-Day-Long Festival
Diwali is the festival of lights which falls in the month of 'Ashwin' according to Hindu calendar. 'Deepawali' in Hindi means a row of diyas. Almost every house and street is decorated with lamps, and lights on the day of Diwali.
Diwali is a five day festival in India. Dhanteras is the first day of Diwali. On this day people buy jewellery, silver and gold coins. On the second day, Roop Chaudas people bath with uptan. On the third and the main Diwali day idols of Ganesha and Lakshmi are worshiped (Lakshmi Puja). On this day Kali Puja performed in Bengal. Skies are full of blooms of crackers. The night of amavasya is transformed into Purnima by glory of diyas. Fourth day is celebrated as new year according to Hindu calander. Bhaiya dhuj which is celebrated on fifth day glorifies love between a brother and a sister. On the day of Diwali, Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya after exile of 14 years. People of Ayodhya welcomed him by lighting diyas. Let us all pledge to make our country prosperous and let us come forward to establish Ramrajya in India…
"Sabh mil mangal gao re,
Sabh mil deep jalao re,
Avadh me Ram aaye hai…!"
India is a land of Festivals. Many festivals are celebrated here with great pomp and show. Each festival has a religious or mythological significance behind it. Diwali is one of them. It is the festival of lights. It is celebrated for several days. It falls in the month of October or early November.
Diwali is celebrated by Hindus. It marks the victory of Rama over Ravana. It is celebrated in honour of Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya after Fourteen Years of exile. Before it falls, people clean and whitewash their houses. The toy and picture shops are rearranged. Sweets are brought and distributed. Candles and crackers are sold briskly. It is a festival for shopping. Laxmi pooja is performed. Shop-keepers perform pooja in their shops as well as at home. People greet their relatives and friends with sweets and crackers. Shops are lighted with colourful bulbs and attract huge crowd.
The evening is most interesting part of the day when houses are illuminated with earthen lamps or candles. Children burst crackers. One hears the sound of bursting bombs across the city. Every one looks happy. People worship the goddess the wealth 'Lakshmi'. They pray for health and wealth. People start their new business from this day.
Diwali is considered the best festival all over India. It is called the festival of lights. It gives a message of love, brotherhood and friendship. The heart of every one should be illuminated with light.
Hope you find some beautiful and awesome diwali poem and diwali essay and celebrate this festival.

Hair Removal
We've all done it, skipped this dreaded process during the winter months when there is no incentive to tackle the trouble and pain of hair removal. Well, those days are gone. I personally prefer epilation as my main method of hair removal. "An epilator is an electrical device used to remove hair by mechanically grasping multiple hairs simultaneously and pulling them out". The results are much more long lasting that shaving and the process is less complicated than waxing. I find I am much more tolerant to the pain now than when I first started, years ago. I find the process to be less painful than waxing, it's also mess free and the epilator can catch little hairs and can easily be used to upkeep that smooth feeling in between hair removal sessions. Once a month I will usually give myself a "hair removal night" where I sit down with my favorite TV show, a glass of wine and my epilator, after that I simply touch up every other week to pick up new growth. I recommend you never try epilating before on your period, the skin is so sensitive which translates into so much more pain; I also find popping an Advil before the process helps take the edge of the pain. I wouldn't recommend using the epilator in your nether regions, the skin is way too thin in that area and things can get messy and really painful.
Both Philips and Brown makes great epilators, I've gone through three of theirs already and they all worked great. My mother introduced me to their epilators in my teens, it's a bit of an European tradition, and here I am years later faithful to their little torture devices that keep my skin hair free and smooth. Seriously, look into epilators, the initial investment costs as much as a waxing service but the device will last you for years.

Seriously, look into epilators, the initial investment costs as much as a waxing service but the device will last you for years.
Now that we removed the hair we need to tackle the dry, flaky skin. Exfoliation can not only give you that smooth finish but it will slough off dead skin allowing lotions to penetrate better into the skin, it will boost circulation and it's a must if you plan to self tan. I have to mention that exfoliating is very important to ensure you don't get ingrown hairs, which can happen especially with waxing and epilation. One of my all time favorite methods of exfoliation is dry brushing. Using a natural bristle brush, start brushing your skin from the feet and work your way up to the arms, always brushing in an upwards motion (always towards the heart as mentioned in old books). This process stimulates circulation and will remove layers of dead skin, literally, you'll see white dust flying off your legs. I like to go in circular motions in trouble spots such as my butt and thighs where I see cellulite creeping in.
Another method to exfoliate is using scrubs which you can either buy or make yourself. My current favorite is Jealous Body Scrub* which combines my three favorite all natural scrubbing agents: coffee, salt and sugar along with coconut oil that helps moisturize the skin during the process. If you are on a budget you can simply save your coffee grinds and take them to the shower. I mix them with my favorite body wash and scrub away. I absolutely love what coffee grinds do to my skin, I am not sure if it's the caffeine or just the exfoliation process but I feel like a supermodel after my scrub. My only advice is to make sure you have good pipes for this process, the grinds can clog things up and that's gonna be a hard one to explain to your landlord. I would know.
This is easily my favorite part of the process, the least painful part anyway. I love using oils on my body my favorite being the Weleda ones, applied on damp skin, right after my shower, when the pores are still open and my skin slurps up them up. I will use the oil at night, as I don't mind if there is any residue left on my pjs. Another great alternative are dry oils which sink right in, Nuxe's Huile Prodigieuse* is a cult favorite for a reason, it smells divine and leaves the imparts the most wonderful glow to the skin. They can be used on dry skin as well as on hair and their shimmering oil is great for adding giving skin and tresses a subtle sun kissed shimmer. When it comes to lotion, I tend to stick to clean ones, my skin always does better with natural ingredients, I like Weleda lotions a lot because they are light and smell great, I also like the Green Beaver body lotions for more hydration or Carina Organics. Just visit your local health food store and explore the cosmetics aisle. There are so many fantastic natural cosmetics lines out there that perform just as well as commercial ones.
Trouble Areas
Like most women out there I struggle with cellulite despite working out and eating well. It's in our genes! I do find that paying a little attention to my thighs (my problem area) can improve the appearance of that skin and makes me just a little more comfortable when slipping into those short shorts. I already stressed the importance of a good scrub, I also mentioned I work out religiously, eat well and drink copious amounts of water but the biggest difference I see is when I take the time to massage and drain the area. I will use a cellulite cream like the Clarins' Body Lift Cellulite Control *and Lierac's Body Slim* and massage it vigorously into the skin. These creams will help stimulate circulation and drain water and lymph which will help diminish the appearance of dimpled skin. The massage part is just as important as the creams as it will manually stimulate the circulation in the area.

Ancient tree bears 256 peony blossoms in central China
Have you been on the hunt for a lavish flower? You may come to Luoyang, a city known as China's "city of peonies".
A 120-year-old peony tree is bearing up to 256 blossoms at an "ancient peony garden" in the city.
The "peony king" is 2.7 meters tall and 3.7 meters wide.
SOUNDBITE: Tourist
"The shape of the branches looks natural but compelling, and the flowers are gorgeous."
Staff at the Peony Park say the tree once had a record of nearly 300 flowers blossoming.
Luoyang used to be the imperial capital of 13 dynasties.
It's is home to the country's best peony trees.
The flower was preferred by royal families for its luxuriant blossoms, which symbolize prosperity and wealth.
The city holds an annual festival to celebrate the blooms. This year's event kicked off earlier in April.

Cost of Funds Drop on Improved Market Liquidity – Thisday
By Obinna Chima
The overnight tenor of the Nigerian Interbank Offered Rates (NIBOR) dropped to five per cent on Friday, from 15 per cent the preceding Friday due to inflow of cash from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee as well as from maturing treasury bills.
The increased cash flow left the money market with a N267.10 billion surplus balance on Friday, reversing the N300 billion shortfall of a week ago and pushing down the cost of borrowing among commercial lenders.
Last week, financial system liquidity opened at N168.1 billion as the open buy back (OBB) and overnight rates rose 8.8per cent and 10.8 per cent to close at 28 per cent and 32per cent respectively at the end of Monday's trading session.
