Structured commodity finance
SPECIAL FUNDING FOR NIGERIANS
Commodity Financing
We Offer Commodity Financing Across The Commodity Lifecycle For Energy, Metals, Mining, Agricultural Crops & Livestock
Overview Of Commodity Financing We Offer
Commodity Finance is a specialized area of trade finance used for funding the production, transportation and sale of commodities. Commodity Finance provides primarily short-term financing facilities to a range of principals in the commodities business, including producers, commodity traders and major international trading operations, commodity importers and commodity exporters.
Commodity finance facilities may be secured or unsecured depending upon our assessment of the strength of the borrower and the structure and profitability of the underlying deal. Commodity finance is too broad a statement because there are really four different financings in the commodities lifecycle as illustrated in the table above.
Types of Commodities
Commodities are typically divided into four subcategories based on the nature of the product.
Types of Commodity Financing
Commodity financing is typically grouped into four specialized categories of financing based on when in the deal cycle the financing is applied.
Pre-export Finance
Countertrade Finance
Inventory Finance
Risks in Commodity Financing
Commodities have long been considered a high-risk proposition that's often difficult to finance, frequently with good reason. More than 100 years ago early commodity trading exchanges were created so that farmers could mitigate the risk of commodities pricing extremes. Commodities have certain characteristics that make them inherently risky which, in turn, makes Commodity Financing riskier. Consider these factors, which are by no means a comprehensive list.
Because commodities are traded openly on public exchanges, there is transparency in pricing, which has a tendency to limit margins.
Commodity prices have always been susceptible to extreme price fluctuations that can substantially affect the value of the collateral securing the Commodity Financing, or even reduce a profitable deal into a money loser in a short time.
Unlike manufactured goods or even raw materials for manufacturing, there is always the risk that external factors will severely impact the viability of the commodity collateral, which makes Commodity Financing difficult.
Agricultural products can spoil, livestock can die, mines can flood and oil and gas can burn.
Commodity Financing is often exposed, along with the collateral, to numerous cross-border jurisdictions, many of which are in emerging markets. Language barriers, cultural division, and political risk can all impact the venture.
For these reasons – and more – firms that finance commodities tend to become specialists who actually focus on a very narrow niche within commodities. In so doing they become experts in particular commodity asset classes. Many financiers who offer Commodity Financing limit the range of commodity asset classes they will finance.
Structured Commodity Financing
We also offer Structured Commodity Financing or SCF. Structured Commodity Financing is a sophisticated commodity-based trade finance method used for the import, export or foreign trade of commodities. More specifically it provides financing for commodity producers and commodity trading companies who do business in developing countries and emerging markets. We offer Structured Commodity Financing for metals, mining, energy, agricultural crops and livestock. If you would like to learn more, we have in-depth information about Structured Commodity Financing.

Trade Finance Learning Center
With more than 80% of the world's trade depending on trade finance it is an essential segment of the financial services sector. It is also one of the least understood of the financial services. One of the things that undermine people's understanding of trade finance is the absence of a single vocabulary. Do a search for the definition of import financing, for instance, and the top 20 results will provide 20 different definitions. We are creating a learning center with content that will help improve understanding of trade finance and its various component segments. Each of the below tabs provides the factual information you need to make good business decisions, beginning with important trade finance definitions.
Trade Finance Terms

Commercial Finance is defined as the offering of loans to businesses by a bank or other lender. Commercial loans are either secured by business assets, accounts receivable, etc., or unsecured, in which case the lender relies on the borrower's cash flow to repay the loan.
Confirmed Letter of Credit
A Confirmed Letter of Credit is a Letter of Credit issued by a foreign bank, which has been confirmed as valid by a domestic bank. An exporter whose form of payment is a Confirmed Letter of Credit is assured of payment by the domestic bank who confirmed the Letter of Credit even if the foreign buyer or the foreign bank defaults.
Consignment is a delivery of merchandise from an exporter (the consignor) to an agent (the consignee) subject to an agreement by the agent that the agent will sell the merchandise for the benefit of the exporter, subject to certain limitations, like a minimum price. The exporter (consignor) retains ownership of and title to the goods until the agent (consignee) has sold them. Upon the sale of the goods, the agent typically retains a commission and remits the remaining net proceeds to the exporter.

Factoring is the selling of a company's invoices and accounts receivable at a discount. The lender assumes the credit risk of the debtor and receives the cash when the debtor settles the account.

factoring invoices

Open Account is a trade arrangement in which goods are shipped to a foreign buyer without guarantee of payment. The obvious risk this method poses to the supplier makes it essential that the buyer's integrity be unquestionable.
Pro forma Invoice

A little over a month ago, I officially turned 21. I've got say, I feel a little weird saying it out loud. Where the heck did time go? How am I no longer a teenager anymore? About five years have passed since I graduated high school and I feel like I've changed so much since then. So in in this post, I wanted to write about 21 things that I wish I could tell my younger self back then. To the girl who had no idea what she was doing with her bangs, to the girl who was trying way too hard to memorize the area of a pentagon and to the girl who just wanted to sit at her desk silently while she jotted down endless tales, this is for you. And of course, for all the girls & guys who are on the verge of graduating high school and worrying about what happens next.

In fact, as an Adam Smith scholar, I had long been aware of some of the institutions, such as the Liberty Fund and the Institute for Humane Studies, that fund lush workshops about the Scottish Enlightenment and other "classic liberal" themes. I know because I, too, went to a few of them – as a wide-eyed PhD student, with no idea about what stood behind them. I remember one night, just having stepped down from a transatlantic flight and feeling almost braindead, finding myself in front of a libertarian PhD student and trying to argue that No, I was not being enslaved by the high tax rate in my European country, on which he seemed to look down in a mixture of disdain and disbelief. But most of the academic debates at the workshops were of high quality, and while I often felt I was the most left-leaning person in the room, there were solid exchanges of arguments. The more I learned about the context of these workshops, however, the more invitations I declined.* I felt uneasy not so much about the workshops as such, but about the role of these institutions in the context of American politics.
So – what exactly is the problem?
The third worry, and one that is harder to reject, is the lack of transparency. Basically, it leads to a labeling problem: is what you get unbiased scholarship, or could it be something quite different? In other academic fields, it is standard procedure to lay open all sources of funding. In academic philosophy, we don't seem to have shared norms around this (or at least I'm not aware of any). The sources of funding and governance structures of many research centers – e.g. whether or not funders are involved in the selection of candidates, or whether funding is tied to specific topics – are anything but transparent. This is problematic both inside and outside the academic discipline.
Inside the discipline, it has a problematic impact on the distribution of recognition and respect. All too often, we rank others (and maybe even ourselves) according to the numbers of publications, or the sums of grant money, instead of looking at the quality of arguments. Grant money and various forms of "output" seem to stand for academic excellence, or at least hard work (I would question whether they are the same). But this economy of recognition can be gamed by taking money that one receives for the wrong reasons – not for being an excellent (or hard-working) scholar, but for happening to hold views that corporate money finds worth sponsoring. This is in deep tension with the academic ethos.
* Full disclosure: I accepted an invitation to be on the advisory board of a project on Adam Smith by the Liberty Fund. After having discussed it with other "left-wing" Smith scholars, I decided that it was better to be part of it than not.
** I would like to thank Mark Reiff for very valuable discussions and feedback.
Thanks, Lisa, for this excellent analysis. I don't have anything smart to say about this issue, but I find it important and very worrying.


A Muslim woman wears a burkini, a swimsuit that leaves only the face, hands and feet exposed, on a beach in Marseille, France, August 17, 2016.
The UK government has no intention to impose a ban on women wearing burkinis, saying it "sees no need" to dictate what people choose to wear.
A government spokesperson told The Telegraph that the swimsuit will not be subject to any sort of ban like the one which has recently been imposed in some regions of France.
"The Government sees no need for measures restricting what people can wear in public places," a spokesperson for the Government Equalities Office said.
"We support the rights of individuals in keeping with Britain's tradition of freedom and fairness."
The burkini is a swimsuit worn by some Muslim women, which covers the body, head, and hair.
Certain regional authorities in France have banned women from wearing burkinis on public beaches, citing concerns about religious clothing in wake of terrorist attacks which have recently rocked the country.
On Tuesday, pictures emerged of armed police instructing a woman to remove her burkini on a beach in Nice.
Another woman in Cannes, who was wearing leggings, a tunic and a headscarf, was issued a ticket which said she was not wearing "an outfit respecting good morals and secularism," according to French news agency AFP.
MP Maria Miller, who currently chairs the Women and Equalities Committee, added: "How each of us chooses to dress is a personal matter. In practice, the choices we make are usually driven by local cultural norms."
France is a secular country, which means its constitution demands religion be totally separated from public life. Nicolas Sarkozy, the former French president who is in the running to stand in the next election, yesterday called for a nationwide blanket ban on the swimsuit, saying it threatened French identity.
The ban by several French regions sparked outrage on social media and has been heavily criticised by many politicians. London mayor Sadiq Khan told the Evening Standard: "I don't think anyone should tell women what they can and can't wear... It's as simple as that."
Protesters wearing burkinis and beachwear gathered outside the French embassy in London on Thursday calling for France to repeal the ban on the Islamic swimsuit.

More of the same: this market is still in thrall to the events of February: 2872 at the top and 2580 at the bottom. Within this context we have just seen two up wavelets. The latter of these has just ended, as indicated by the trendline, followed by, for emphasis, by a power bar down and a gap. As these are short term phenomena it means we are in a down wavelet, duration and strength unknown, but probably constrained by the range. Swing traders will undoubtedly be short, and long term invesors will be gritting their teeth and staying long.

We recently said that only the bold would be in to this volatility plagued market. Then we looked at the chart again. There is a breakout (A) from a triangle and a breakout from a congestion area (B) with good volume patterns. So we said to ourselves if volatility causes equity swings we'll just grin and bear it.
Posted on Jun 01, 2018 by WHC Bassetti.
Here's how we got here. Rarely have we seen a formation that is more difficult to draw conclusions from. We can analyze it without great difficulty. There is first of all the last (so far) wave of the great 09-18 bull market. This is topped off by a semi-parabolic wavelet followed by the waterfall of prices. This doesn't look like a top, It's hardly a down wave. The awkward nomenclature system calls it a "correction"–which amounts to –high to low, 11%. Percipitous falls are quite common after spike events like this.


Happy Friday! I'm so excited for todays post because it's the first one in my Refresh Friday series. If you didn't tune into Monday's post than you have no clue what I'm talking about, so let me briefly explain before we get into things.
While I was taking a break from blogging I realized that I lost sight of the real reason I started A Small Town Fashionista, which was to share affordable, everyday fashion. I decided to start Refresh Friday to show everyone that you don't always need to be shopping for the current trends to have a great wardrobe. The idea behind this is to go through my wardrobe and put together three looks with one specific piece.
Today is all about this classic long sleeve dress, which can be styled for multiple occasions.
Look 1: This look is your basic everyday look, perfect for running errands. All you need is a jean jacket and your favorite pair of sneakers.
Look 2: This is one of my favorite looks for the workplace because it makes a not-so-dressy dress, dressy! I paired with it my favorite pink oversized blazer and a nice pair of flats. Booties or heels would also work great with this look!
Look 3: This could also be another everyday look. You could wear just the dress and heels into work and throw the jacket on afterwards for dinner with the girls! The heels of course can be substituted for booties, flats or even sneakers!

May 3, 2018 by Žikica Milošević | 0 comments
Spanish companies will appear for the third year in a row at the International Agricultural Fair in Novi Sad and present their latest technological achievements from the most important segments of this area – in which they are European leaders.
Thanks to the Commercial and Economic Department of the Embassy of Spain in Belgrade and the Spanish Agency for Promotion of Export and Investment ICEX, Serbian businessmen will have the opportunity to exchange experiences with six companies that are experts in the field of technology and equipment in agriculture. "The agricultural technology sector is one of our priorities in Serbia, and we believe that in this sense Spain can offer its technological achievements, based on its own experience and needs that have emerged in the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, grapes, olives, where Spain one of the leading manufacturers" said the Spanish Embassy.

10. Do Detectives Think? (1927)
laurelandhardyblog	Laurel & Hardy	 October 3, 2018 October 15, 2018 3 Minutes
At LAST!! As enjoyable as the first eight films were, this looks and feels like a proper Laurel & Hardy film! It's funny really that when you've watched the first films from the Lucky Dog forward to this point (and of course being teased in Duck Soup), and you then watch 'Do Detectives Think?' it's reminiscent of putting on your P.J.s and comfy slippers and sliding down into your favourite sofa or armchair. There's something so warm and familiar about the feel of this film and it's down to the fact that FINALLY, the Roach studios had paired Mr. Laurel & Mr. Hardy as a team. Hooray, hallelujah! Now, let the fun begin…
To watch 'Do Detectives Think?' CLICK HERE
And fun it is! I thoroughly enjoyed this film from beginning to end. Now, I'm not saying that this is the perfect L&H film, not by a long chalk, after all the boys characters are very nearly there, but there's still some creases needing ironing out. Here for the first time we see the boys dressed in the ill-fitting suits, with bowler hats and full on Stan & Ollie mannerisms. Stan's hair is still slicked down and Ollie's moustache is a little too wide, but after waiting patiently through eight films to finally spend time with our heroes, they truly are a welcome sight for sore eyes. It's a bit like the feeling when you hear a tribute act to your favourite artist, you sort of enjoy it, but really need to go off quickly and hear the real thing again as soon as possible…or maybe that's just me?
Making things feel even more homely is the very welcome return of James Finlayson. Fin plays the part of Judge Foozle, who at the start of the picture sentences the Tipton Slasher (Noah Young) to death, for murdering two 'Chinamen'. Following news of the Slasher's escape from prison, the police send their two worst men (??) Ferdinand Finkleberry (Stan) and Sherlock Pinkham (Ollie) to protect the judge from the retribution of the Slasher.
Inevitably, the Slasher does turn up at the Judge's house disguised as the conveniently timely replacement butler, where Fin and his wife (the also returning Viola Richard), are waiting anxiously for the police to arrive.
When the boys arrive and the Slasher decides to make his move, much hilarity follows as you would expect. There are some very funny moments, especially during the chase around the house sequences.
Noah Young cuts a frightening figure as the knife wielding Tipton Slasher and his grimace alone is enough to scare the most hardened of men to death. Stan and Ollie's nervous reactions, having to chase him down are just brilliant. Straight away I was reminded of scenes from classic Laurel & Hardy shorts such as The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case, Midnight Patrol and Night Owls, to name but a few.
In his fantastic and indispensable book Laurel & Hardy: The Magic Behind the Movies, author Randy Skretvedt explains that whilst 'Do Detectives Think?' was shot in May 1927, it wasn't released by Pathe until mid-November. The reason being that Hal Roach had ended his contract with Pathe and signed a new deal with MGM. After releasing 'Do Detectives Think?', Pathe only had one more Laurel & Hardy title left to release, namely 'Flying Elephants'. As the boys' films were growing in their appeal, Pathe hung on to 'Flying Elephants' (which was also filmed in May 1927), and didn't release it until February 1928, during which time MGM had released around seven successful Laurel & Hardy comedies. Pathe had cleverly held on, waited whilst the boys' popularity soared and then released it for maximum rewards.

Yes, I agree with you on this little gem. I'll have to spend some time with Stan and Ollie in their silent shorts , as I am finding them to be a hilarious new sense of fun while discovering an all new L&H experience. I am hoping for a DVD issue of their SILENTS made at HRS . James Finlayson, with L&H , are 3 of my favorite Human Beings ever! And what comedic timing –already acquired -in-trade long before this 1927 short! How about FIN – JUMPING to hide within the few, split second camera frames! BTW, just discovered this happy place! Hope to share more here on this great Blog! Thank You , "Col. Buckshot." (Fin in "ANOTHER FINE MESS").

Hi, thanks so much for your great comments. I'm so pleased you're discovering the silent films, they are wonderful. There are some real classics on there way now following Flying Elephants, as the boys are officially announced as a 'team' and there really is no looking back. Look out for such classics as The Finishing Touch, Liberty and Big Business (to name but three). Happy viewing…

Afoko�s Acussers Cite Al-Hajj Reportage On NPP Credible
New Patriotic Party stalwarts who petitioned the party's Disciplinary Committee (DC) for the suspension of party chairman, Paul Awentami Afoko has validated The aL-hAJJ's series of publications on the biggest opposition party and its flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Unknown to many, one of the grounds on which the DC recommended Paul Afoko's suspension was that one of the petitioners, Alhaji Mohammed Amadu Aminu, questioned why under the embattled National Chairman's leadership, The aL-hAJJ newspaper continuously published classified information about happenings in the NPP.
Aspects of the DC's ruling on Afoko said "He (Alhaji Mohammed Aminu) also observed that under Mr. Paul Afoko's leadership, the Al-Hajj, an NDC Newspaper and other NDC press has been constantly publishing information on internal NPP matters, something that never happened in the past."
Alhaji Mohammed Aminu's authentication of stories published by this paper, particularly on Nana Akufo-Addo's antics, is against the backdrop of spirited attempts by the NPP's 2016 flag bearer and his lackeys to discredit the The aL-hAJJ.
In one of his numerous responds to a publication in this paper on some of his schemes, Nana Akufo-Addo slammed The aL-hAJJ, accusing it of pursuing an agenda "to manufacture lies and destroy people."
"The work of the media is not to manufacture lies to destroy people, even if those people are seen as political opponents of the publishers. There is more to political competition than that," a statement released by Nana Akufo-Addo's office said.
However, an incensed Alhaji Mohammed Aminu involuntarily confirmed that The aL-hAJJ's publications on happenings in the NPP are indeed credible for which reason he petitioned the DC to suspend Paul Afoko.
The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NPP last week unanimously voted to suspend its National Chairman Paul Afoko indefinitely.
The NEC upheld the overwhelming decision by the Disciplinary Committee which decided that Mr Afoko be suspended.
However, the embattled Chairman has advised the public to disregard news about his suspension, insisting that he is still in charge as NPP National Chairman.
He is said to have petitioned the party's National Council to reverse NEC's decision on his suspension, failure of which his lawyers have given the clearest indication to challenge the process in court.

SDG&E switched to basically these TOU periods in December. It's doubled the amount of money I now pay for electricity annually.
Definitely need to do more analysis if battery storage makes sense, but my initially calculations only made it marginal at best at current rates, but that probably means that it will be a no-brainer 5 years from now with the way rates are going.
We switched to a TOU program two months ago. Our bill is now a third of what it was. BUT...in the winter we live in our motorhome on our property in Palm Springs. At 8 o;clock we switch the coach to battery and let the inverters do the work. At 10 at night we switch it back. Went from a 115 dollar per month bill to 36. We have 800 watts of solar on the roof. Works well. Kinda like a power wall but not. 8 x 6 volt batteries.
I was able to find a SCE Rate Comparison Tool mentioned by Boomer23 at breakfast last Saturday. It supposedly allows you to evaluate and compare several of the new and old TOU rates against your actual usage for the previous 12 months. Of course if you are contemplating adding solar or another EV, this evaluation will be flawed, but if your usage is stable, it should help a lot.
There are several paths on the web site to this tool. One is: home (residential) -> rates are changing -> learn more -> Residential Rate Plans -> Rate Comparison Tool.
I say "supposedly" because I could not run the tool. It requires a customer account of the form: 3-###-####-##. My customer account has the form: 2-##-###-####, so the tool rejects it. Is this because I am already on TOU-D-A ? I believe others on this thread also have TOU-D-A. Do you also have a 2-## account ?
I am overwhelmed with all the TOU choices, but some of them can be eliminated right away if you have solar, because they price daytime at Off-peak or Super Off peak (TOU-D-4-9PM, TOU-D-5-8PM).
When I was sizing my solar system I had to write a little program that could crunch my hourly usage data from SCE for the last 12 months against estimated solar hourly production for a year from the pvwatts estimator. I could plug-in different TOU schedules to get an idea how things would work out.

Interesting - in our area there is a provider that bills us based on 15 minute interval actual pricing (energy, not distribution) - for a monthly subscription price ($10). Did you download this type data and crunch it out off-line, or can you do this more or less real time by capturing data, say on an hourly/daily interval? What is astonishing is that some "peak" pricing is 10X "normal" and that "off peak" pricing can actually be a payment rather than a cost!
Also amazing is that so many in my area use copious amounts of energy (pools, kids with doors open/lights on, etc, etc). If they installed a well designed solar system with properly sized energy storage that is bi-directional (Pika Energy) with "smart" usage controls, they could pay back much of the system costs. Having an EV to charge early morning would enhance their savings - especially if they purchase a used Leaf (for next to nothing ). IMO, change is coming!
It was offline, downloaded 12 months usage history at X minute intervals in CSV format, the value X is escaping me at the moment but at least on an hourly basis if not more granular. Similar for pvwatts estimated production. There should be a software package out there that can do similar calculations, but I couldn't find anything at the time. It worked out pretty close to my prediction, I'm about 3,000kWh net consumer over 12 months and pay $0 not counting mandatory fees. The system is a tad larger than I could have gotten away with but that was a conscious decision. Of course this is only true until SCE changes the TOU rates which may send all my projections down the drain.
That is a real worry - as more pure grid tied energy systems go on-line, any use of the grid as storage may not be cost effective. Battery storage can work around this issue - especially if I could get my Leaf to be the "storage" - may be coming.
This thread has been dormant since Feb 2018, but I have some news. Tonight, July 10, 2018, I sign on to my account at SCE.com to see how my usage is doing during this heat wave. I click on "View Usage" as usual, but this time I find a completely different graphical display for monthly and daily usage.
I click on Energy Use tab, then individual monthly bars to get daily usage, then day bars again to get hourly [for TOU]. All this looks nice, like SMA Sunnyboy solar production graphs, except negative usage (net production) is NOT shown.
Also, before they would show predicted net $ for the coming monthly period, using actual TOU pricing. Now they only show daily positive consumption in kWh for current billing period.
Has anyone else seen this (perhaps months ago) and talked to SCE ?

Thanks for sharing, just checked and this is a very disappointing interface for solar customers indeed.
Edit: looks like you can still get to the old display via "Go to your SCE My Account.." link above the new graph, but who knows if their plan is to fully retire it at some point.

The SCE website is been under near constant update for over a year now on how data and functions are presented.
The updates go very slow during the day. Often with a glitch and new data is delayed for several days.
The net amount does show but not during the update process. I find before early morning (7a) or late evening (10p) is the most reliable time to log in. Yes during the day when the daily data updates are compiled the website often errors out or shows no solar credits. Everything does show correctly once the daily update is complete. Programming must be poor because the entire month gets re-updated every day so SCE is just churning monster data volume every day.
Check it now and should disply correctly.

Greetings! My professional career in education began with a Liberal Arts Degree from Boston University, and later, a Master's Degree in Education from Tufts University in Medford. I have been a member of the SJS teaching staff for fourteen years and am currently teaching seventh and eighth grade Social Studies and Religion. I have always enjoyed teaching this age group, as it is definitely an "age of discovery" for young students learning how to become ready for high school. I especially enjoy their humor and watching their growth in responsibility. As far as hobbies, I love to cook and try new recipes. I also enjoy reading, listening to music, and walking the beach in the summer, collecting sea glass and lots of sea shells. As always, I look forward to working with this year's students.

American singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus performed dressed up as her character Ashley O from Black Mirror at the Pyramid Stage during Glastonbury music festival in Britain. The singer performed her Netflix show song 'On a roll' in her character's costume, soon after which she changed back into her earlier costume for other performances. She also delivered a heartfelt speech, claiming that this event had changed her life, reported Fox News.
"I just want to let you know in many ways this show has changed my f***ing life drastically. A lot of hard work, a lot of dedication and a lot of sacrifices. Both of my parents, who are side-stage right now, have taught me that that's the only way anything is going to happen for you," she told the crowd.

"My dad had an amazing analogy for me. He said go sit on a bicycle and go to the very top of the hill and watch how fast you go downhill and it's going to be easy. Now do the same thing, sit on that bicycle and go uphill - it's not going to do it for you. You are going to have to work your f***ing a*** off and you are going to feel it the next f***ing day, but it's going to be worth it because you did something. You did something that you thought you couldn't do. And that is what I'm doing," she added.
The Wrecking Ball singer who wore a skin fit black pants and a white cropped top paired with a golden belt and neckpieces, further said, "I was watching The Killers from at home last night, which they f***ing rocked so it scared the s*** out of me. I ask the universe every day, 'Give me something that scares the f*** out of me and then I'm going to f***ing do it', so today that is mother***ing Glastonbury."
Other than her On a roll performance she rocked the gala by singing Nothing breaks like a heart, Back to black, Jolene, Party in the USA, Mother's daughter and Wrecking ball.

Councilman Randy Christian fights third round of cancer
Wednesday, December 18, 2019 11:10 PM EST
By Tori McGee
tmcgee@ramarcom.com
For many people, the diagnosis can be devastating, but for Randy Christian, his most recent test results came as no big surprise.
"All of my cancer battles have been genetically related. In other words, I've got a bad gene that causes me to have a potential for reoccurrence of cancer throughout my entire life," Christian, District 5 Councilman, said.
This is his third bout with cancer. Christian said he has lynch syndrome, a genetic disorder that increases his risk for colon and other types of cancers.
His first diagnosis was three decades ago. The second diagnosis was two years ago, after he announced his candidacy for District 5 Councilman.
"I really love what I do as a city councilman, and I do believe that as a councilman, its provided me a platform to talk about my cancer and encourage other people to take care of themselves," he said.
Something that has played a big role in his cancer journey is his faith.
"I've always felt that regardless of what outcomes that cancer may have, God's got me covered. He's going to take care of it, and it might not be in the exact way that I had planned for, but I do believe that's part of being faithful," he said.
A strong support system has also been key to getting through the battle.
"I have my city hall family now that have been supportive of me," Christian said. "My family, my wife, my two sons, relatives who have struggled with cancer over my entire life, because we have been battling cancer from a generational perspective."
He said he is also a proponent of genetic testing, and encourages others to talk with their family members about their health history. He said this will save a life.
"If our family hadn't have been very open about our multigenerational cancer battles, I know, I know I probably would've died 30-plus years ago," Christian said, "but because we talked about it in very loving and concerned terms, I knew that I needed to be diligent getting checked."
Christian said he expects his treatment to last from now through mid-March. He has beaten cancer twice, and said he will beat it again.
Through his treatment, he said he will continue serving as a councilman, just like he did the last time. To anyone fighting illness, Christian said do not focus on that.
"Find things that inspire you, find things that occupy your time, that you can focus on that instead of your cancer," he said. "I just consider it a privilege to be a councilman, to serve the people of District 5 and Lubbock, and be an example. Get to work, don't just sit down and obsess on the disease, get to work and do something for other people."


Induject 250 Alpha Pharma is an injection mixture of testosterone ethers. This preparation contains: testosterone propionate, testosterone phenylpropionate, testosterone isocaproate, testosterone decanoate. It was especially designed for fast and at the same time long action. Like other testosterone product, Induject 250 is a strong anabolic steroid with well expressed androgenic component.
This preparation is mostly used for mass-accumulating courses because it excellently accumulates the muscular mass and strength. Of course, there is a small difference from cypionate enanthate testosterone – Induject 250, due to its slow absorption and smoother concentration in the blood, less aromatized in the blood. In case this preparation is used by a sensitive person, he needs to include it from the very start of the cycle, Induject (sustanon 250) to be used together with Nolvadex or Proviron. Because of its ability to absorb water, this preparation is not suitable for pre-competition preparation in bodybuilding.
Due to the fact that Induject 250 is a strong androgen, it is possible to expect skin greasiness, acne, increased hair growth on body and face. In order to prevent this growth you should use proscar (finasteride). Sustanon (Induject) 250 suppresses the endogen production of testosterone – this is why you should use gonadotrophin or Clomid Nolvadex. But at the same time post-course therapy should take place approximately 2 weeks after the last injection of the preparation because it is active during long time in the blood. An effective dose of Induject is 250 mg every 10 days, up to 1000 mg per week. Some athletes use dosages of more than one gram per week but the ratio (positive effects: side effects) is shifted to the negative side.
If you really need extreme volume, then you may combine sustanon 250 with oxymethalone or methanedrostenolon. On the other hand, for clearer relief you may combine sustanon with Trenbolon or Winstrol.
Induject is the mixture of four testosterones. This feature implies two positive characteristics that are of interest for the athletes. Because of the special interaction of the active chemical substances every milligram of Induject has better action than testosterone enanthate, cypionate and propionate. Besides these the action of these chemical substances is placed in time relation one after another so that Induject starts acting quickly and at the same time effectively acting in the organism during some weeks thanks to decanoate that is in Induject. Induject has its effect already after one day and continues being active for 3-4 days.
