Graduate student work across 16 programs to be featured in showcase of more than 175 RISD artists and designers
The thesis work of 178 students completing graduate degrees from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) will be on display in RISD's 2015 Annual Graduate Thesis Exhibition at the Rhode Island Convention Center from May 20 to 30. The exhibition includes work by graduate students in Architecture, Ceramics, Digital + Media, Furniture Design, Glass, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture, Jewelry + Metalsmithing, Landscape Architecture, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture, Textiles and Teaching + Learning in Art + Design.
The exhibition, located in Hall A of the Convention Center in downcity Providence is free and open to the public daily from noon to 5pm (9:30am to 6pm on May 30, the day of RISD's commencement), with a public opening reception on May 19 from 6 to 8pm.
The work selected represents the culmination of each student's experience in RISD's dynamic and diverse graduate programs. The 28,000-square-foot space will be custom-constructed, with more than 1,500 linear feet of walls forming a network of smaller galleries. The unique configuration of this generous space provides remarkable opportunities for graduate students to show multiple pieces or large installations from their final thesis representing two or three years of research, experimentation, critical thinking and production.
An online gallery featuring images and narratives on students' final thesis projects, enabling viewers to gain insight into the thinking and process behind the work, is available at www.risd.edu/thesis.
An exhibition of selected works by second-year graduate students will be held at Sol Koffler Graduate Student Gallery at 169 Weybosset Street. The installation will open to the public on May 29 at noon and will remain on view through May 31 from noon to 8pm.
About RISD's graduate programs
The Division of Graduate Studies represents RISD's 16 graduate programs and more than 400 graduate students from around the world enrolled in art, architecture, design, digital media, and art education. It promotes a dynamic and interdisciplinary culture of inquiry and research, study and speculation, close attention and critical making, and reflective and ethical practices responsive to the times and adaptable for the future.
RISD is an active environment for graduate students to clarify their ideas, develop their work and deepen their commitment to creative practice and cultural leadership. The graduate experience at RISD also provides a constellation of relationships in which students care about each other and for each other's work and development as artists and designers. This can be found both in the studio and classroom, but also in the many ways that graduate students initiate and lead in student government, collaborative publications and partnered projects, and as collaborators and curators of exhibitions and public programs at RISD—and in communities and contexts beyond the college.
Working with dedicated and accomplished teachers, visiting artists, designers, scholars and extremely perceptive peers, students are challenged and inspired by the questions involved in creating and analyzing new work. Students are encouraged to embrace the compelling dimensions and complex pleasures of art and labor, conviction and doubt that stimulate adaptive and active practices.
Graduate work at RISD requires passion and persistence, the willingness to take risks and an openness to reciprocity. Through their work represented in the Graduate Thesis Exhibition, students broaden their ideas and confirm their commitment to the pursuit of consequential work that confirms why art, design and culture do, indeed, matter to us all.

US State of Connecticut Introduces Bill to Authorize Smart Contract Use in Commerce
The Commerce Committee of the Connecticut General Assembly introduced a bill to authorize the use of smart contracts in business.
The Commerce Committee of Connecticut's legislature has introduced a bill to authorize the use of smart contracts in state commerce
A committee of the Connecticut state legislature has proposed to authorize the use of smart contracts in commerce in the state, according to official documentation introduced on March 7.
The Commerce Committee of the Connecticut General Assembly (CGA) has introduced House Bill 7310, suggesting that blockchain-powered smart contracts may be used in commerce conducted or initiated in the United States state of Connecticut.
The committee elaborated that any cryptographic signature or a record secured through distributed ledger technology (DLT) should be considered to be in an electronic form and an electronic record.
The CGA Commerce Committee emphasized that no smart contract relating to a transaction should be denied a legal effect or validity only because it is processed through a smart contract rather than a traditional method to secure a transaction data.
A smart contract is a protocol designed to contribute, verify or implement the negotiation or performance of a contract. Blockchain-powered smart contracts allow parties to perform credible transactions directly, without third parties. Containing all the data about the contract terms, smart contract transactions are traceable and irreversible.
On March 6, the General Assembly of the U.S. state of Colorado introduced a bill on examining the possibility of applying blockchain technology in water rights management.
Earlier in February, Cointelegraph reported that two blockchain-related bills were passed in the U.S. state of Wyoming. Both bills, tokenization House Bill 185 and blockchain compliance-related bill, House Bill 74, were introduced in January this year and are set to be enforced later in 2019.

Skohorn  er et hjælpemiddel til at iklæde sig sko.  Det anvendes ved at den brede ende føres ned i skoen under hælen, og så presser hælen ned og glider hælen let mod skohornets glatte  overflade, samtidig som skoens bagerste kant beskyttes mod friktion og skader.

Skohornets oprindelse er ukendt, men det kom først i brug i 1400-tallet.

I dag produceres skohornet almindeligvis i plastic eller metal men også i træ. I tidligere tider blev materialer som horn, elfenben, glas og sølv også anvendt.

Theatre New Brunswick Welcomes Artist in Residence
January 17, 2016 • By newtnb • 4 Comments
New Brunswick Aboriginal artist Natalie Sappier will join the team at TNB to create a new multidisciplinary play exploring the voice of NB's Wolastoqiyik/Maliseet people.
Theatre New Brunswick is pleased to announce an exciting partnership with New Brunswick Aboriginal artist Samaqani Cocachq-Natalie Sappier in the development of the new multidisciplinary work, Finding Wolastoq Voice. Conceived by Sappier, the play will combine music and dance and her distinct visual artistry to tell a story of her people.
"I always dreamed of sharing stories through movement, spoken word, music and collaborating with artists of many disciplines," said Sappier. "Theatre allows me to create that world of storytelling."
Sappier is an artist who expresses storytelling in many forms; visual, spoken word, chanting/singing and writing. In 2014 she was part of Theatre New Brunswick's Aboriginal Artist's Collective and assisted in the creation of the original production, The Eighth Fire.
"This way of creating has been a reoccurring dream I had since I was a child," she said. "I never thought all this time I have been working my way towards this dream. Reflecting back, I see the learning stages of the creative process that I was climbing, realizing I have been on that path the whole time. And now I am here, faced with the opportunity of learning with an amazing team. It is overwhelming, exciting and this experience will be life changing."
During the winter and spring of 2016, Sappier will be mentored by Artistic Director Thomas Morgan Jones and the TNB team in creation of her own production which will debut as part of the company's 2017-2018 season.
"What a privilege it is to have Natalie joining us as artist in residence," said Jones. "Her new play in development, Finding Wolastoq Voice, is a raw, courageous, and important play, and one that gives voice to the First Nations people of this region in New Brunswick, the Wolastoqiyik/Maliseet, in our theatre here at TNB. As an artist, her paintings elicit awe and incredible emotion; as a chanter she combines emotion with storytelling; as a storyteller she brings the past, present and future together seamlessly."
In addition to her training in theatre through apprenticeships and workshops, Sappier will also be a guest instructor in local schools, bringing her artistry and story to young people in Fredericton.
This project is made possible through the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Province of New Brunswick.

Early in the morning I was surprised to see my cousin Jhing who's living now in Parañaque. We grew up together because we live close by, just a wall apart. When she got married she transferred to where her husband resides but she decided to entrust her daughter to her mother until now that her daughter is studying. Every weekends and holidays she visits and stays with her kid but sometimes she extends her stay for some reasons.
I was surprised to see her because it's the middle of the week wherein she seldom dropped by her mom's house. She told me that she's alone in their house because her husband and kids went to the province. She wasn't allowed by her boss to take a leave so she just stayed in her mom's house for company. Oh well I really miss her bubbly and nerve-cracking ways when we're just singles.
We were both mothers now and very healthy indeed, well I should say we've gained pounds. She told me she's drinking some green tea to help her loose unwanted pounds and I can't help but suggest that maybe she needs not just tea but some kind of fat burner like Fenphedra. She welcomed the idea but said she'll think it over. Maybe she'll try it for comparison.

Spotlight on Artist, Teacher, Civil Rights Activist Jean Birkenstein Washington
Thursday Nov. 14th, 2019
by Ed Newman

There are still two weeks left to see the current exhibition in the George Morrison Gallery at the Duluth Art Institute titled Jean: The Inspiration Behind the Birkenstein Movement. The handout for this show begins with this description of the artist: Jean Birkenstein Washington (1926-2003) — or simply Jean, as she was called by all who knew her, including her children — was an artist, a teacher and a leader of the Civil Rights Movement in 1950s and 1960s Chicago. Her home served as a safe house and community center for rival gangs, the Vice Lords and Cobras, whose members were free to express themselves through art. Her work emphasized her belief that everything – human, animal or mineral – has its inherent self-worth, leading Jet magazine writer Alex Poinsett to describe her as "an artist with a profound respect for human dignity."
Jean Birkenstein's life passions also became the subjects of her paintings. Slavery, Chicago's gangs, civil rights activism, and animal rights were the colors of her palette. The DAI exhibition is an overview of how these subjects played out in her work. This fall, her son, Robin Washington, the former editor of the Duluth News Tribune now writing for The Boston Globe and host of a Wisconsin Public Radio show, has given talks that shed light on Jean's unique life and work. Washington says it wasn't until he was in his 30s that he realized how atypical his family was as he was growing up, and not just because he had a Jewish mother and black father. We asked him to share his insights about the artist and her family, with the aim of shedding light on the DAI show.

Reader: Jean seems to have been comfortable getting outside her comfort zones. I'm thinking here of having members of two rival gangs meet in her home. What did these encounters entail and what were the rewards she experienced by stepping outside her comfort zone?
Robin Washington: As the exhibit notes, Jean was born into privilege, though the family later lost the money. So you could say she was decidedly less comfortable in the traditional sense by the time she invited gangs to our house. She also loved teaching and reveled in talking about everything from gravitational collapse to Chinese art perspective to the feminist aspect of the War of the Austrian Succession to anyone who would listen, especially young people. Still, as much as I know about her, I'm not completely sure what made her so committed to human and even animal rights at such an early age. She was in debates arguing for African American equal rights as a teen in the 1940s, and she was advocating for animal rights before that. A lithograph I only discovered just before this exhibit opened is her earliest known work, from 1938. There's an animal story behind it, though I'm not sure what.
Reader: What were some clues that your family was in a different place from many Americans in the way you saw things?
Robin Washington: Both my parents worked very hard, by example more than anything else, to convey to us that we were normal. We even shared Passover seders with another black and Jewish family. I now know that simply growing up in Chicago, during the riots and protests, let alone having a front-seat to them, was not at all normal. The first inkling that we might see things differently came when a TV movie about the Rosenbergs aired when I was 14. Two kids at school were talking about it, saying, "I'm glad they killed them." I was astounded. My left-leaning family very much identified with the Rosenbergs (there were two sons in that case, too). That was a rude awakening.
Reader: Was your neighborhood in the city itself? Your mixed-race parents lived in a "white" neighborhood. What was the location in terms of proximity to the segregated black community?
Robin Washington: The Near North Side, where both my parents grew up, was always integrated, though not every block of it was. When my parents bought our house, it had a restrictive covenant on it (which is part of the exhibit). She shopped for the house and the seller didn't find out my father was black until closing. We became the first black family on the block and later, when the neighborhood changed, we were the last white family there. By the time my mother sold it 35 years later, it was regentrifying, and we were one of the few remaining black families.
Reader: What was your father's occupation and how much was he involved with your mother's unusual involvement with the Lords and Cobras?
Robin Washington: My father, Atlee, had been a (non-flying) officer of the Tuskegee Airmen. He was a published poet yet worked as a chemist and later had his own plastics factory. He and my mother divorced when I was two, but they never lived more than a mile apart from each other. I remember hearing the term "broken home" and not having any idea what it meant, since I saw each of my parents every day (or not, if I didn't want to). My father was active in left-wing circles in the 40s and 50s, though not organizations like the NAACP and CORE as she was. Though he may have been critical of her interpersonally in the first years after their divorce, he didn't object to what Jean was doing, and never questioned her taking my brother and me on marches and protests.
Reader: In what sense was Jean's work considered a movement?
Robin Washington: The "Birkenstein Arts Movement" was coined by the Duluth Art Institute staff for the companion program of classes teaching activism through art for middle school students. They announced it to me, knowing I would cringe a bit because I've written about the word "movement," including analyzing why certain actions do or do not grow into full-fledged movements. But that said, I can see how people inspired by Jean's art and her activism and could build a curriculum around it. Also, sitting in on some of the middle-school classes impressed me to hear them discuss many of the tactics she and her contemporaries used. So if this knowledge, from Jean or otherwise, helps foster activities that someday become a movement, especially one informed by art, all the better.
The George Morrison Gallery is located on the Fourth Floor of the Historic Duluth Depot. The show was curated by Amy Varsek and Robin Washington.

You Thought Giving Up Chocolate Was Nuts, Look At These 9 Crazy Things My Family Endured For Lent
By Andrew Santiago February 28, 2017 at 5:49 pm
Most people give up sweets, smoking, excessive drinking or social media during Lent. But, because everything Puerto Ricans do is exagerado, my household during Lent got medieval. Between my religious grandmother and my mom, the 'suffering' part of Lent was… not symbolic. Here are the nine ways my abuela made us really suffer during Lent.
1. You're giving up chocolate for 40 days? That's cute. Once the sun set, our home was enveloped in darkness, because we gave up electricity.
Arrival/ Paramount
This was especially cruel in a household where El Cuco was real. You know he comes out in the dark!
2. You gave up drinking? Nice. How about no TV, music or dancing? Can't laugh when you're supposed to be suffering.
Literally abuela's response when asked if dancing was allowed during Lent:
The Office/ NBC
Keeping a group of Puerto Rican kids from dancing is like caging a bird. We just want to pop and lock, abuela!
3. Wearing less makeup for Lent is a smart move, but we just went ahead and covered all the mirrors. Examining your beauty was vanity — extremely disrespectful.
Snow White/ Disney
"Magic mirror on the wall, who is the holiest of them all?"
4. Most families spend less money during Lent. My family was forced to attend live reenactments of the "Stations of the Cross," where the real carnage of the story happened for free.
Imagine seeing that when you're in elementary. It's a little traumatic.

Mom referred to them as "horror movies," and I agree — the only thing worse than this scene from "The Da Vinci Code" was Tom Hanks' mullet in that movie.

That's 40 days of vegetarianism.

Trump's Children Were Called Anchor Babies By George Lopez And A Lot Of People Got Very Upset
georgelopez / Instagram
By Araceli Cruz June 25, 2019 at 3:50 pm
The term "anchor baby" is an offensive term that President Donald Trump used before his political career. The phrase refers to the children of undocumented people U.S. By law, that makes them U.S. citizens. The term, however, is Trump's way of demonizing the offspring of immigrants. Calling anyone an anchor baby is a moot point because everyone in the United States comes from immigrants except Native Americans, and some Mexicans whose ancestors were born on U.S. soil when the land still belonged to Mexico. But all of this is to say, the majority of U.S. citizens come from immigrants. Never the less, the term was brought up recently due to the impending ICE raids.
After Trump threatened undocumented people in the U.S. with ICE raids last week, comedian George Lopez told them to detain Trump's "anchor" babies.
Uh , @icegov " if your listening " you can find these immigrants at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave – Signed Enrique Enpanada the third 😭😭 #vivalaraza #45melapela
A post shared by George 🇲🇽 Lopez (@georgelopez) on Jun 22, 2019 at 11:22am PDT
"Uh, @icegov 'if your listening' you can find these immigrants at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave – Signed Enrique Empanada the third 😭😭 #vivalaraza #45melapela."
The post included mariachi music and the Trump family with photoshopped sombreros.
Lopez's use of "anchor baby" is using Trump's words against him by suggesting that his ex-wife and current wife, both immigrants, had children in the U.S. making them citizens, which is a birthright.
Lopez is a loud opponent of Trump and his administration since before the election. It began after the then-candidate referred to Mexicans as "rapists" and "criminals."
During his 2017 comedy special, Lopez said if he ever ran into Trump, he would sexually assault him since he said that is what Mexicans do. Lopez also pretended to urinate on Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a plastic water bottle.
So did people like the joke? Hmmm…yes and no.
The joke can be taken different ways depending how you look at it. For some people, it is great to see these words weaponized against the man who is harming the community.
He's only saying what Trump has been saying for years.
Trump and Lopez have the same logic, which makes the joke very funny. They think that using insults is the way to debate these kinds of issues. Clearly, the Instagram post is catching people's attention.
Did he go too far?
People didn't like that he used a picture of the youngest Trump. However, to be fair, Trump has no issue with infants being taken from parents at the southern border and left in detention centers. Those in the detention centers have ended up getting pretty sick lately.
Lopez gained new fans from the joke.
They say some humor is supposed to be offensive. Not to mention that political comedy can get really offensive since people don't like being challenged.
Oh, come on now. Why are you crying?
Did you think the joke was funny or do you think that Lopez went a step too far.

SPOILER ALERTS: The Latest Episode Of HBO's 'Los Espookys' Is Proof It Could Surpass GOT In Cult Status
By Samantha Chavarria June 24, 2019 at 12:20 pm
On June 13 2019, HBO premiered "Los Espookys," it's Spanish-language horror comedy from the mind of Fred Armisen. Needless to say, we were immediate fans. Between the subtly hilarious script and its impeccable delivery, the series proved from episode one that it's worth the watch. Don't even get us started on how much we love the horror elements we've seen so far.
The second episode of "Los Espookys" is just as addictive and entertaining as the first. Titled "El Espanto de la Herencia," the episode is so good, it demands a recap.
Here are some of the most spooky and most hysterical parts of "Los Espookys" episode two.
Last week, we met Renaldo, Úrsula, Tati and Andrés, four friends bonded by their love of horror.
The gang was encouraged by Renaldo's uncle, Tio Tico, to pursue that passion and turn it into a career. Calling themselves Los Espookys, they were approached by a mysterious woman who wants to use their terrifying talents. With this in mind, it's time to brainstorm how they'll approach this next job.
However, before we can check in with Los Espookys, the series introduces us to the US Ambassador.
Horror DNA
Her name is US Ambassador Melanie Gibbons and she's received an important letter. The letter — which is in Spanish, not coded as she first suspects — informs her that her friend Ignacio Ferracuti has died. However, he's left his 18.9 billion peso fortune to whoever can survive a night in his haunted mansion.
To borrow Ambassador Gibbons words, "Okay, twist!" She's been chosen as one of five strangers to compete for his fortune. It's all very exciting for her.
Similarily, Los Espookys are excited for this upcoming challenge.
We finally get to see to the official Los Espookys headquarters — which happens to be Renaldo's garage. While Andrés pushes for avant-garde and challanging tricks, Renaldo wants to stick to the basics. Úrsula just wants confirmation that they're going to be paid.
Meanwhile, back in LA, Tio Tico is in an unusual situation.
Following last week's encounter at a major celebrity party, Tico has been mistaken for an elusive artist. Due to this mix-up, he's been roped into speaking at an art panel. The whole thing has snowballed and Tio Tico is just along for the ride.
Unfortunately, Andrés is finding it hard to balance his life as Prince of Chocolate and his spooky calling.
Being the heir to a chocolate fortune is hard. As his boyfriend reminds him, Andrés has duties he needs to commit to or else he will be removed as heir. However, the curious man is preoccupied with uncovering the mystery of his birth and his new side gig. What is a Chocolate Prince to do?
Finally, it's the big night!
Too bad Renaldo has been ditched by the other members of Los Espookys. Andrés, Úrsula y Tati have all shown up last minute, leaving Renaldo to set up. What's worse, nobody hired the actors they need so Renaldo has to step in as the creepy butler. Let's just say, the role is out of his range.
Still, the goal of the haunted house is to get rid of one contestant in particular. The Mysterious Woman announces to Los Espookys that Sr. Ferracuti's son is a contestant and must not win. However, he seems impossible to shake with the frankly unimpressive scares.
Los Espookys are in a funk and they need some serious rallying.
Andrés is obsessed with the dead ends he keeps getting in his search for his origin. Úrsula is obsessed with getting paid. Tati is obsessed with Snap Chatting her shady internet boyfriend.
Renaldo is about to give up but some unexpectedly good advise from Tati inspires him. After a rallying call from Renaldo, Los Espookys are back. They're going to pull off the scariest trick they can.
We don't want to give away the ending, but the episode wraps up with the possibility of more jobs in their future.
Will Tati continue her internet relationship? Will Andrés learn the origins of his birth? What sort of adventure will Los Spookys get into next week? We'll have to watch to find out.

Dr. Philip Jaisohn was a pioneer of independence, democracy and public awakening for the Korean people. After the failed 1884 reformation movement, he was exiled to the United States, where he became the first Korean-born to become an American citizen. A graduate of Columbian Medical College, he practiced medicine in Washington, DC, later serving the U.S. government as a wartime physician. Both in Korea and in the United States, Dr. Jaisohn made relentless efforts for the independence of Korea. In 1895, he briefly went back to his native soil, where he founded the first Korean language newspaper. In 1919, he organized the Korean Independence campaign in Philadelphia. Dr. Jaisohn will be forever remembered as a leader of Korean community and a leading spirit of Korea's democracy and modernization.

This New Unilever Brand Is Helping The Homeless Get Access To Showers
By Caroline Muggia
Image by The Right to Shower / Unilever USA
Recent estimates on homelessness in America suggest that around 550,000 people are homeless on a given night in the United States. Depending on the circumstance, homeless people go without shelter, food, or space to shower or go to the bathroom.
While we usually think of food and shelter as being the main challenges homeless people face, Unilever is bringing awareness to the importance of cleanliness for all people with the announcement of a new brand called The Right To Shower, which believes, as its name implies, every human deserves a shower.
The ethically sourced line features all-natural cleansers for the whole body in recycled packaging. One hundred percent of the profits in 2019 will go to mobile shower organizations like Lava Mae, which provides portable showers and more to the homeless in San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles.
The Right To Shower's mission states, "Americans experiencing homelessness lack access to everyday necessities and services—including showers. This makes it all too easy for them to be 'othered,' rejected, and unseen by society, compromising their sense of dignity and their chance to feel included in the community."
The liquid and bar cleansers will be named "dignity," "hope," "joy," and "strength" and sold in Whole Foods Markets across America (the first Unilever brand to be carried nationwide by Whole Foods Market) and on Amazon, as well as their website.
This news sheds light on yet another champion working to improve access to necessities for the homeless. In February, we reported on the work of Perigives, an initiative to make menstrual products more accessible in New York City, and at the beginning of April, we launched our new social good vertical and a documentary highlighting the work of LaRayia Gaston, the founder of Lunch on Me, which is providing food and yoga and meditation classes to the homeless on the streets of Skid Row and in NYC. Now, You. We. All. can help support this mission to bring this core human right to populations who need it most.

Adding Value through Treasury Technology at UPS
Having a treasury function is necessary for any business of a certain size to manage money and financial risks, but it's also important to turn that treasury function into a strategic asset for the business. Doing this requires accurate data and expertise. In this podcast, Craig Jeffery talks with Nicolas Garcia of UPS on a strategic view of treasury and technology. They look at having a proper mindset, developing a digital strategy, and applying the latest treasury technology to solve existing problems.

Episode Transcription - Episode #215 - Adding Value through Treasury Technology at UPS
Announcer 00:04
Welcome to the Treasury Update podcast presented by Strategic Treasurer, your source for interesting treasury news, analysis, and insights in your car, at the gym, or wherever you decide to tune it.
Craig Jeffery 00:18
Welcome to the Treasury Update Podcast. This is Craig Jeffrey, I'm the managing partner of Strategic Treasurer, and your host today, I'm with Nicolas Garcia, who's the director of treasury technology at UPS. Welcome to the Treasury Update Podcast, Nicolas.
Nicolas Garcia 00:32
Good afternoon, Craig and pleasure to be on your podcast.
I know we've been on different webinars and talked at different times. So this is this is good to have this type of conversation. Our title today for the podcast is "Adding Value Through Treasury Technology at UPS." And really what we're going to be exploring is applying the latest treasury technology to solve existing problems as everyone knows there's significant challenges problems issues in every treasury department, particularly because there's so much changing. And this is a process. It's not a single event. So that's really the part of our discussion today. Nicolas, maybe we could begin if you would give an elevator pitch or a short introduction to your role and career that brings you to this point at UPS so people know your background?
Yeah, absolutely. So I'm director of treasury technology with UPS have been with UPS, about a year and a half. Now, I'm responsible for setting the treasury technology strategy, supporting the global treasury function at UPS. I'm responsible for supporting our existing systems, for implementing new systems and technology. Also, to ensure that the technologies we're using are really what's needed to support our treasury related processes. Before UPS, I spent five and a half years as a consultant with PWC, with their treasury practice, worked with a couple of dozen different corporates in the United States across industry. I worked with these clients to help them take their treasury function to the next level.
So working with a number of companies, as a consultant, and then moving into ups, I suspect most people know what UPS does. But I also wonder if you could give a just a brief overview, maybe some interesting statistics, something that you find interesting about UPS's reach or scale that will help those who may not know some of these facts.
I think most people are familiar with the big brown trucks that deliver packages on a daily basis, we are the largest shipping company in the world, over 500,000 employees globally. We operate in over 60 countries. It's a fairly well known company, but even to me, I didn't even know the scope and scale of the stuff we do. One of the things that I found most interesting is the way we supported the whole COVID efforts in terms of helping you know, the various government agencies and healthcare providers, etc. Just shipped vaccines all over the world, you know, when helping them with, you know, all these supply chain constraints that are there are there are still present. But UPS has been at the center of that we literally help the world move.
Yeah, I've heard. Yeah, the medical shipping. Yeah, really, really important for the health of the country and the world. Let's move on to the strategic view of treasury and technology. We had some discussion about this, in preparation for today's talk. I'd love it. If you could describe how you think about how treasury adds value to the organization with a particular focus on on tech.
you can think about the value that treasury provides at various levels. Right. So I think, you know, when you first think about treasury, it's about managing bank accounts. It's it's funding them. It's making sure you can, you know, make payroll. And so it's very transactional. It's very, it's in some ways operational. And that's absolutely necessary for any company, you you need a treasury function. But I think the key question is, how can you take that to the next level and make treasury a strategic asset to the business, right, and the way we think about it is, we want to be the cash stewards, meaning we are the voice at UPS that's always thinking in terms of cash. Everybody knows cash is important. But I think treasury is especially well suited to talk about that and really bring insights into how to maximize your cash flow, everybody wants to maximize their cash flow. But in reality, that's hard to do. But treasury, you know, has the visibility into all the ins and outs, especially suited to look at working capital from a more strategic lens, specially suited to analyze how your different projects or investments across your organization really return cash to the business. And so in order to do that, well, you need you need data, and you need expertise. And for both of those, you need to acknowledge, you know, for a company like UPS, we have over 1000 bank accounts, you cannot do this manually, right. So technology is at the center of what we're trying to achieve, or where we see our mandates, points to bringing the right technologies and ensuring that people can leverage those technologies in a meaningful way is really key to to the finance function, but also to the organization as a whole.
As you talked about the breadth and scope of what's going on and what needs to be done getting this done. There's an element of it's done by treasury by itself working, let's say, connecting to those 1000 bank accounts. However, many dozens of banks or, you know, 100 banks across the globe, you know, any other elements there when you think about it from either a technology standpoint, or partnership standpoint, is there anything else that's important here?
Yes, definitely, definitely. So I think treasury functions, you know, they're all built differently, but they're different, definitely some common elements where technical technology can can really be of great use. So we have a treasury management system, in my experience, it's the core of your technology footprint, right? And, but then you have ancillary systems that are more, you know, fit for purpose, and that specialize in certain aspects, that enhances your TMS or your treasury management system, and allows you to really, you know, take full advantage of automation and advanced analytics. We manage our bank connections. our core cash, funding, you know, cash pooling, data investments, we have a TMS that does that. But then for certain more advanced needs, we tap into many other technologies, you know, and there's a lot out there, but there's technologies that focus on trading, there are technologies that focus on particular FX exposures, there are technologies that help you with just accounting, there are technologies that help you with bank account management, and so forth. Right. So it's kind of expansive, it depends on you know, I think of, you know, what are the type of activities that, you know, fall under, you know, the treasury purview? But ultimately, the way, you know, I think about it is, let's focus on automation. One key thing to, you know, onboard any technology is, is it really helping me automate end to end processes? And is it actually helping me be more efficient at that, it's not very useful if you automate only 10% of your process. And you can say, well, treasury is doing great, but then there are a ton of hands of two others in the organization, right. So we'll look at it as, okay, let's look at the end to end of this. And let's look at how technology can help us. That's one component: automation. The second point is control, and just the management of just risk or operational risk. And it's, well, technology is also great, just reducing the amount of handoffs, reducing the amount of time people spend just keying things into spreadsheets, or reading documents and things of that nature. So, you know, we take a look at that and say, Okay, are there processes where where mistakes are common or frequent? You know, let's, let's go for those. So that's a key other aspect. And I'd say the third component is around data, reporting and analytics, right? And it's okay, we have all this data, but it's probably distributed across multiple systems, not very well integrated and very hard to make sense of, right. And so, the other I'd say, pillar of your why technology or why certain technologies over others is, does it really help us you know, make sense of our data, use it in a meaningful way, and do something with it, right. In today's world data, the amount of data is not a problem. The problem is, what are you with it? Right, how do you create value of it? And so we're trying to be smarter about, you know, how we leverage that.
The way you look at it, it sounds like there's a, there's a process orientation. And you described it as end to end as opposed to a component. And the other was data, reporting, analytics. How do we how do we access the information that's needed? and analyze it? Those are two, I guess, lenses that you'd look through as part of your, your evaluation support of the company. Is that accurate? Or?
That's right. That's right. I think that's a good framework, taking care of the basics actually doing the work. And then the the next step to that is, well, now that we have all this kind of sitting there, let's create value out of that. And let's be sure we're getting the right insights into the right hands.
Yeah, there's probably ultimately more value out of the data. But it's extremely valuable to manage the processes well, in terms of a digital strategy, because I do want to get to some of the examples and initiatives that you've worked on are working on, I think those are gonna be quite fascinating for everyone who's listening. But when you think about a digital strategy, technology strategy, is there anything else there? I know, we talked about? How do we decide what the flow is, anything else? Before we move into some of these initiatives?
Yeah, I would say maybe a couple of additional things on how we think about this is one, it still needs to fit into the overall let's say, corporate strategy, or even corporate IT strategy. So, you know, we we don't operate in a silo, you know, every time we let's say, we want to buy a new technology, we know, tactically, we have to go through the approvals, and the budgeting and all those kinds of things. But it's important that it aligns with what the IT organization and what your strategy organization actually wants to do. Right. So, you know, we're mindful that we don't act alone, and there's needs to be alignment. And so some of the tools we use in treasury are actually tools that are being used at in other areas of UPS. And now it's our job to take the value out of those tools for our specific use cases. But leveraging what's already there, right? We don't want to reinvent the wheel.
What might be some examples of this, like a common tool set or data store?
So we use Google Cloud, for example, for you know, what we're building in terms of, you know, treasury type data lake. Treasury is not the only one that UPS using Google Cloud. There are other functions that are leveraging Google Cloud in other ways. So what we do is, well, we're not only using the tool right itself, but but there are a lot of opportunities to to learn and share experiences. And so you know, I might be doing something and maybe I'm stuck with maybe I'm not sure how to implement something specifically. Well, I know that down the hall, there's the marketing team to just give you an example. That's also doing amazing things, Google Cloud, totally different data sets. But but they have capabilities, they have expertise, they have people that can you help us out, right. And so, you know, at the end of the day, it's it's also about people, right? So you can only produce what you're capable of. And the expertise that exists is limited. But part of the, let's say the beauty of working at UPS is that we're a big enough organization that if I have a question, I can probably reach out to somebody to get a little help. Right? So it's, it's yeah, it's let's leverage the technology is let's not pay, you know, double fees, but it's also let's leverage all the knowledge that exists. And and let's, you know, let's make the best use of that.
Right. That's, that's a core area and I think I cut you off before you started the, or as you were starting this, the next area.
Yeah, the last thing I was gonna say was, we're in an environment where, you know, every investment, so to speak, needs to be explained, right. And so, you know, we try to create, you know, solid business cases, every time we, you know, buy a new technology or launch a new initiative. And we ensure that there's a return on investment, right. And that is not easy to do. In many cases, the, you know, the benefits are, are not green dollars. They come in many forms, and they are in many cases kind of long term. And so you have to make some assumptions, but we try to be very careful about, you know, ensuring that we're actually getting bang for our buck. And we have a couple of frameworks that we use that we kind of refine, but we are careful about you know, how we spend our money.
Yeah, excellent. I guess another aspect of stewardship, right the your investment decisions on on tech, we're really looking forward to talking about some of the initiatives you have. Some of these might be brief or longer. But why don't we start with the payments and payment factors, maybe you can talk about your initiative there and what you've learned or learning?
Yeah, a key initiative for, for me currently working on an implementation of a payment hub. Our current setup is that everybody that needs connectivity to banks, not even just for payments, but also kind of for receiving statements is, is is very decentralized. So while treasury has specific needs, but we're not the only ones that need interaction with the banks, for payments, we have, you know, the AP function, and we have various shared service centers that are constantly initiating payments for various reasons, we've got payroll, we have other areas that execute payments, and then for receiving statements, again, not just treasury, but we have accounting, or ERP leverages those for reconciliations, etc. So, you know, there's a big need for streamlined connectivity with banks. And so our approach is, well, we've got to centralize this, you know, we can't have everybody kind of managing this separately. So let's put something that can be leveraged by the whole enterprise that is more sustainable, but also that gives us higher visibility into all our payments. And so you know, one of the things I said at the beginning was, you know, one of the things we think about a lot is, well, we want to be cash stewards, we really want to have visibility into all working capital related stuff. And part of that is payments, right? And so we really want to see, well, we want to see all our payments, right? We want to see every wire we're making, we want to understand every transaction that's going out the door, I mean, could we improve the terms in which we're paying? Are we paying too much in fees? Are we doing too much cross currency transactions? Are we just using too many wires, and maybe some of those should be ACH type payments, etc. Right? So it's about visibility, is it about it is about control. And so the rationale and the business case for for this payment hub initiative is, you know, we want to take ownership of that want to make sure it's really centralized, because we want to give treasury the tools to really manage that process.
Sounds like it'd be great to do a check in again, maybe six months or 12 months, as you go through the process to see what you've learned as you you're retooling your your payment factories and information aggregation. We spoke about reporting and data lakes is a big term that people use not everyone in treasury knows what that means. But everyone understands analytics quite well. Maybe you can talk about what you're doing from a reporting standpoint, I'm gonna be listening and probably asking you about reporting that might be more focused on operational needs and activities. And those types of reporting and analysis that might be more strategic or analytically oriented. So what do you what are you doing here? What's What's your initiative,
We're setting a treasury data lake, right. And so what that means for us is, you know, current state, we have a number of systems, right, the TMS is one of those, but but we have several others, and they all have certain data. Some of these systems are better reporting than others. But the truth is, it's it's very hard, in some instances for for certain users, to have visibility into a consolidated set of the data that's consistent across these systems, and then have that in a way that's easy to report on. What we're trying to do is we want to consolidate the information from these various sources, we want to reconcile that information because we don't want discrepancies that would only you know, create confusion. And we want to bring that into a data lake kind of massage that you know, have, you know, aggregate the data in such a way that's organized that's labeled, that there are no empty records or things like that. And then on top of that layer in a reporting tool, nowadays, there's just so many, you know, good good systems out there, you know, we use Data Studio, but we are, you know, we've also kind of explored Power BI, there's a Tableau you know, there's so many right and so, these reporting tools kind of sit on top the data lake and allow us to create dashboards and really, very cool and interactive dashboards and reports and you you can give this to, you know, not just treasury people, but even outside treasury, you know, with a few clicks, a few kind of drag and drops type of functionality, things like that you really get access to the core data to the insightful stuff. And it really empowers people to make decisions. And it just improves the way people have access to the data, you don't have to wait a day or two till somebody produces a report by then it's too old or whatever, or maybe they give you the information, but it's on a spreadsheet that God knows who created it. But the idea is to make this as user friendly as possible. We, as I mentioned, before, we're using Google Cloud to kind of build this data lake, I'd say we're, you know, at the early stages to put something like that together, but some, some aspects of it are already live. And we're really excited to be able to give, you know, provide these tools to to a broader set of users.
So So a question on that. So you described it as a treasury data lake, treasury, you know, has quite a bit of information on its own and multiple systems in a global organization like yours has quite a bit there. Is this treasury only? Or does this also tap into other areas of finance, other areas that may provide information for forecasting, working capital needs, requirements growth? Is that a potential future? How is it how do you draw the walls around the shoreline of of a data lake? I guess?
Yeah. Now, that's a great question. And so right now is mostly treasury specific, I would say 90%. Treasury specific, because we are focusing right now on the on the operational part of treasury, right. So you know, we want to make sure people understand cash balances, etc, etc. Our vision is to bring information outside of treasury as well, we've already started working on that. There are some enterprise initiatives already underway at UPS that are somewhat higher level of what we're doing. So we are already building those data lakes that are more cross functional. And so from that perspective, treasury is going to become more of an input to that, let's see more enterprise data lake vision, right. And so that's where we see in a couple months, maybe a couple years where everything would integrate. But not everybody is going to care about all the granular detail treasury data. And so kind of in parallel will building our own treasury's specific data lake that can really make use of the vast amounts of data that we that we use on a constant basis. And so I think, you know, it is a combination, we are building this, let's say one step at a time. But our full vision is to have a full blown data lake with all the relevant data kind of integrated and fully reconciled and available to the whole enterprise.
Excellent. So I think that's a that's another concept to think about. Right? There's a everyone talks about a data lake, but there's oftentimes multiple data lakes as these grow. And it sounds like you're starting off more on the operational side of that information, and then expanding to more and more strategic, longer term vision is that, am I capturing that right? That's exactly it's and that mirrors so much. What organizations have, you know, from reporting bases reporting was almost always operational, and then anything that had to be done a strategic basis of planning basis, people are running things more ad hoc, not necessarily in rigorous systems, the reporting was much more manual. And so we see that two taking place in the in the data lakes, the the ability to manage this type of reporting analytics, we build we grow and and then start to leverage that data. Excellent example and discussion there. robotic process automation, or RPA, is another area that that you've been working on, didn't know if you had a ability to give us a quick thumbnail sketch of what do you use that for? How is that how is that working? How does that fit into not only your overall strategy, but where are you leveraging that most heavily in treasury?
A year ago or a little bit over that, you know, we started looking at at our processes, right and realize that a lot of these processes were just, you know, very intensive in terms of manual efforts, relied on spreadsheets a lot, require a lot of handoffs, and we're very prone to where and they would just take time to execute. And then you know when you can add up all the hours spent So, in executing those processes, you realize, geez, you know, this is a very expensive process, and, you know, this person, you know, that's an amazing accountant or, you know, expert on trading, and I have them just playing around with spreadsheets, there's going to be a better way to do it. We started kind of outlining, okay, what are these processes that are just not efficient enough, what comes out of that review is that there are a lot of steps that are involved that are just very repetitive, that are also very rules based, right. I mean, there's not a lot of, let's say, human judgment required in order to execute. And so we started exploring, you know, tools out there to help solve this problem. And so, came up with with RPA, we use UiPath, there are other tools out there that are great. And they really help in automating those processes that are repetitive and rule based, right. And it really allows people to, to just basically stop doing that, you know, in reality, it's very hard to remove entirely people from the processes, because you still want to maintain a decent amount of control and oversight, as well as even just for kind of backup purposes, you want to make sure that people you know, don't forget what the process is about. But the truth is, a lot of things can be done by by these robots. You know, we looked at these processes, in many instances, we discovered that the processes themselves were kind of wonky. So we went kind of back to the drawing board. And okay, let's let's think about how this process actually needs to, to work. And with a few tweaks with with the few kind of decisions in terms of redesign, we come up with more streamlined processes with sections of them that are prone for automation. And so that's where we layer in RPA. For example, processes that require every day banks are sending me X number of reports to my email, and literally, all I need to do is download those reports out of my inbox and type that into spreadsheets. Or that takes an hour every day, a bot can do that in like five minutes or less, you know, those type of activities, they're very rule based and very sequential, are very easy to automate, basically, processes where there are a lot of hand handoffs of files that need to be moved from one system to another, or to one database to another and performs or checks or controls over those. Those are, you know, pieces of the process that are somewhat easy to automate. And that really save a lot of time. So so it's been a journey, you know, again, we've only started working on these initiatives recently, I do think that we need to work more on rethinking the processes end to end. But once that works been done, and there's a good understanding, and we feel good about how the process actually work, we've realized that there are just a lot of opportunities to to embed RPA. We're currently saving, you know, a good number of hours for our people on a daily basis. And while there's more work to do, we're really excited about the potential of this technology.
I have a couple of quick follow up questions that so who's building the bots? Is that someone in treasury? Or is that another area that you're working with? Someone in treasury is working with someone else to develop those?
Yeah, so So there'll be in house in house. So you know, we kind of have a couple guys that got certified on UiPath recently, the tool is surprisingly easy to use, there is a learning curve. But people can learn to use it relatively quickly. And, you know, get on building bots. So we're doing this internally at treasury, we still need to comply with some policies and some parameters out there to ensure that, you know, everything's under control. But we're building the bots ourselves.
Yeah. So another question. So when we think about your point about understand the entire process, and using something like a bot versus perhaps a system that integrates the process has pre formatted pathways. How do you distinguish between a let's let's call it a more fully automated approach, and the use of bots, how do you make the cutover to say, we want to put this in a business process this sway, or we want to use a bot to streamline this, like, for example, those files from your emails, like you get these files they download, they need the data. How do you determine you let's use a bot to get this done versus using SFTP, or an API, or some other method of getting that data? How do you make that cut off or that decision?
Yeah, that's, that's a great question. And I think the answer is, it depends on the use case, right? I think we'd have to evaluate each one separately. But in my experience, RPA is great when you're working cross systems. And there's no good connectivity in between them. Let's say, I have two systems. And there's a great API that connects them both. Most likely, I'd say that's not a good use case for RPA. Well, I'll just do the API and do what I have to do in one system. But when I have to jump system to system, and what happens is that you have someone doing that manual manipulation of the information cross system, that's where RPA is so valuable, because you can always think of, okay, let me deploy an API, but that is actually more complex, you probably need more specialized IT people to do something like that. With UiPath, you don't need it people, you know, it takes like three weeks for a treasury person to get certified. Yeah, they have to like technology and all these kinds of things, they can start from zero. But it takes only a few weeks to get certified in something like this. And these type of processes, like moving information from one place to the other, or just clicking on let's say, a web browser, right? Like, you open a web page, you click on three places, and then download something move that somewhere else. Well, I'm sure there are more sophisticated ways to automate that, but but there's probably too much, you know, that's, that's, that's probably bringing, you know, fighter jets to light up your your grill, you know, you there are ways to do that much faster. And I really think RPA is better suited for those type of activities. You know, the point you're bringing, I think it's very interesting, which is, well, how do you decide which technology to use, you know, apply for rpa, but it applies in general. And it's, well, you have to have, you know, good good frameworks and good parameters and kind of rail guards to make sure that, you know, you're really using the best possible technology for that particular problem. Because or else, you end up in a worse place that what you started with, and then now you have to maintain all these random systems created by so many people they break, nobody can, you know, troubleshoot them. And that's probably worse at the end of the day. So there's got to be a framework. But I would say that, you know, in our case, we're careful about where we deploy our PA, but I think we were happy where we are
Good explanation. I don't think I've ever heard of the fighter jet lighting a grill. But that's a vivid image, right? I know, people use examples of like, you don't need a laser to cut a tomato, right? It's like, there's, there's a million of these handoffs. And it's great to say future state, we'll use API's everywhere, or streaming, you know, streaming connectivity using Kafka or whatever. There's so much to be done. And it takes a while. And this is a great tool to move forward. So really, really good example. Thanks for let me poke at at some of the nuances because it's good to be talking to tech experts. I know we wanted to talk about cash flow forecasting, but we're going to need to, you know, move to final thoughts, any final thoughts or advice, as people look to add value through treasury technology at their organizations, any key point that you would want to make sure that is left in their minds?
Sure, I think everybody's getting more tech savvy, digital, and that just kind of a fancy term out there. But everybody's talking about it. They're just so many tools. These days, technology advances so quickly. And it's hard to make sense of all that, you know, and also, it's hard to keep up with the latest and greatest. It's hard. There's just so many amazing products out there that do so many amazing things. And then as well, how do you pick and choose? As a final thoughts? What I want to share is, you need a strategy, you need to have some core statements around, you know, what are those principles for, for deploying technology, right, where are those priority areas? Right? How do you evaluate new technologies, etc. I think that's important. The second component is well, you need people you know, and and, you know, in my case So, my role is very focused on technology. But I'd say that most of the best ideas don't come from people that are only doing technology. You know, it's, it's people in the business, you know, working through multiple types of processes, and they are coming with great ideas, with creative approaches and how to do things. And I think that's what's important is ensure that the people you work with, they're all knowledgeable about technology, people are informed people have a good understanding of what's out there. Because I think that's helpful in ensuring people understand what's what's possible, and then come back with ideas. And so, you know, I see myself also as responsible for making sure that the people stay somewhat up to date with what's going on, being able to share what's the latest in the treasury technology landscape, and ensuring people that are aware that so so it's not just kind of a treasury technology kind of thing, but making sure that people understand what are some of the capabilities that exists. Finally, I'd say it's about having a mindset in which you're allowed to, to try things, maybe some things don't work out perfectly. Having leaders that understand, you know, it takes time to build things, there's a little bit of trial and error, getting things to work perfectly, it's always challenging that back and forth is is acceptable. And in this world, you know, thinking in terms or, you know, a good way to think about it is kind of through the agile approach in which you build small things and then kind of scale from that. It's a positive mindset to have because it allows to keep moving forward, really bring new things to the table. And don't expect that you know, one single technology is going to solve all your problems, but really thinking more incrementally, thinking about you know, innovation driven by multiple people as opposed to just the department head.
Excellent. Thank you so much, Nicolas. Really appreciate your time.

Simons Muirhead and Burton LLP (SM&B) has been shortlisted for the Law Society's prestigious Excellence Awards, the highest accolade for law firms in England and Wales. The firm has been shortlisted in the Excellence in Pro Bono category for its long-standing support of The Death Penalty Project.
The Death Penalty Project was borne out of a few dedicated lawyers at SM&B who were committed to providing free legal representation in death penalty appeals from the English-speaking Caribbean before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London. More than three decades later, our work has expanded significantly and we now work in more than 30 countries around the world. SM&B has supported our growth into an independent charity and we continue to be housed and supported by the firm.
SM&B's unwavering support has been essential to the success of The Death Penalty Project – our work simply would not be possible without it. We would like to congratulate SM&B on being shortlisted for this prestigious award and thank the firm for their commitment throughout the years.
Razi Mireskandari, Managing Partner of SM&B and a member of The Death Penalty Project's board says:
We are delighted to have been shortlisted for this prestigious award. A commitment to providing free legal representation in death penalty cases has been a central part of our firm's identity since its earliest days. We are immensely proud that our support has helped save the lives of thousands of individuals who might otherwise have been executed. Unfortunately, that work is just as important as it was 35 years ago
Winners will be announced at the Law Society's Excellence Awards ceremony in London on 17 October 2018.

Magic Johnson – MSU's Quicken Loans Carrier Classic Honorary Captain | The 2012 Carrier Classic is Here - Learn more!
Earvin 'Magic' Johnson is the honorary captain of the Michigan State University Spartans for the 2011 Quicken Loans Carrier Classic. You've probably heard that already. It's certainly all over the news about the event. In anticipation of the game, I wanted to take a closer look at one of my basketball heroes.
Magic has remained close to the MSU basketball program since earning the Most Outstanding Player award of the 1979 Final Four, and leading the Spartans to a NCAA championship victory that same year.
While Magic has obtained a seemingly endless list of accomplishments on the court, he has been equally successful off the court. Aside from being a philanthropist and motivational speaker, Magic is the newest member of Detroit Venture Partners. DVP is a venture capital firm that funds start-up and early-stage technology companies in Detroit.
As a state champion at Lansing's Everett High School, NCAA champion at Michigan State University, NBA champion with the Los Angles Lakers, Gold Medalist with the 1992 Olympic 'Dream Team,' and winner of a fight for his health, Magic is truly winning personified.
The effortless charisma Magic displays has been a driving force behind his successful television career. After the conclusion of "The Magic Hour" (his late night talk show on the Fox network in 1998) and his successful Magic Johnson Entertainment Production, "Brown Sugar" Johnson has become a fan favorite as an ESPN analyst on NBA Countdown.
Many fans watching the 2011 Quicken Loans Carrier Classic on television and live in San Diego will be excited to see Magic Johnson walk out on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson. However, the chances are slim that anyone will have a more luminous smile than Magic because when you're one of the greatest winners of all time, your smile is a reflection of your perpetual excitement and enthusiasm.
Jon is a sports enthusiast with a passion for journalism.
