Continuing the Integrated Supply Chain Management Concept

Image
Core Principles of Integrated Supply Chain Management Integrated Supply Chain Management (ISCM) is built on a foundation of core principles that guide its implementation and ensure the attainment of sustainable value. One of these principles is the concept of the remote cause, which emphasizes the importance of conducting a thorough review of all established norms, processes, and procedures before initiating any activity. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the environment in which decisions and actions are made.

Why India and Pakistan Are Clashing Over Kashmir: The Real Risks of Escalation

Image
Siddiq Wahid recounts awakening at his residence on the morning of August 5, 2019, with a sense that all was not well. "There was an eerie stillness," he says. "I could tell that some event was imminent." Consequently, he rose from bed, got dressed, and decided to investigate what might be occurring. He found himself utterly alone until he approached a small village plaza where about a dozen soldiers were loitering threateningly in the distance. "It could have been an army unit, perhaps even something else," he recalls, explaining why he promptly returned home. Upon arriving, he realized his mobile device was non-functional, with neither cellular service nor internet access available. Everything seemed to be cut off. He now recounts how they couldn't reach out to anyone at all and felt helpless. Thus commenced one of the most remarkable epochs in contemporary Kashmiri history—a land nestled beneath the majestic Himalayan range under th...

Beatrice Faust: The Fearless Feminist Reformer Who Championed Sexual Liberty and Railed Against 'Wimp Feminism'

Image
Beatrice Faust was a pioneering public figure. My initial exposure to her came via her articles in the Weekend Australian during the 1990s. By this point, she had become a prominent advocate for second-wave feminism, a period marked by generational disputes surrounding discussions of feminism. She was also an exceptionally astute and strategic activist. The Women’s Electoral Lobby was her brainchild. WEL She had a commanding presence in Australian politics. At times, she came across as quite domineering; during the first gathering of WEL in Sydney back in 1972, someone queried her dominance with "Why is it that you're always correct?" Later, when recounting this moment to a confidant, Bea—her nickname—mentioned that she responded, "Because I put in the effort and stay composed." These are principles to uphold. Review: Unafraid Beatrice Faust: Sex, Feminism, and Body Politics – Judith Brett (Text Publishing) Faust devoted her energies to many dif...

The $22 million Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve development aims to transform the former Elsternwick Park golf course into a biodiverse oasis with up to seven hectares of aquatic habitat for native wildlife. However, disagreements about how to achieve this continue this agreed masterplan have led some locals to chain themselves to logs and confront council workers, even as construction around the northern pond section progressed markedly in the past year.

Image
US Senator Bernie Sanders has been called a "hypocrite" following his admission that he utilizes private jets for traveling to his campaign rally events.

Sanders stated. “That's the only way to get around. No apologies for that. That's what campaign travel is ab...

Trump Revives Nixon's 'Madman Diplomacy' to Drive a Wedge Between Moscow and Beijing — A Risky Move With Potential Backlash

In 1896, when U.S. President William McKinley promoted high-tariff protectionism, he contended that shielding domestic industries from overseas rivals through a 50% tariff barrier would enrich America and enhance national security. That reasoning shaped American trade discussions for decades, yet it was merely an economic tool—not a strategic political instrument. In 2025, with Donald Trump serving as the 47th President of the United States, he imposed tariffs on the majority of goods coming into the country, particularly focusing on those from China. Nevertheless, even though he idolises McKinley, Trump’s developing overarching strategy appears more akin to Richard Nixon’s rather than his own tariff plan. "erratic" diplomacy of the early 1970s . Trump is signalling that unpredictability, not price schedules, will coerce adversaries and reorder alliances. A picture depicting unyielding determination In the 1890s, McKinley's tariffs almost doubled t...
