Manufacturers Working New Agenda

January 17, 2005
Text Size:
GRAND RAPIDS — The manufacturing sector is changing fast and it’s changing forever. Now there’s a movement underway to hammer out an “innovation agenda” for the industry.

Manufacturers had been asking for recognition at the federal level and industry representation in Washington. They got what they asked for in 2004 with the appointment of Al Frink to the newly created position of U.S. Department of Commerce assistant secretary of manufacturing and services.

Frink is now manufacturing’s voice on Capitol Hill, and he has a seat at the policy table. His agenda? “No manufacturer left behind.”

For Frink and all those working to level the global playing field for American manufacturers, this Newsmaker of the Year nomination is for you.

“I believe that the spirit of competition is one of the things that will drive manufacturing as we move forward,” Frink said on a visit here last fall. I see the determination that people have to win. If you can give manufacturing an even playing field, there is no doubt we can be competitive with any country in the world.”

Manufacturing is vital to the U.S. economy because it represents 15.8 percent of the nation’s GDP, and when the multiplier factor is added — all the spin-off business the industry generates — it’s closer to 50 percent of GDP, Frink observed.

Frink said he will work to dismantle barriers to manufacturing by promoting lean manufacturing and trying to peel away some of the government regulations. He also encourages manufacturers to create “very strong brands” to differentiate their products and their companies.

Frink’s not alone in his quest to shore up the manufacturing sector. The Bush Administration formed a new body last year, the Department of Commerce Manufacturing Council, that’s working with the Commerce Department to advocate, coordinate and implement policies that help U.S. manufacturers compete worldwide. It’s focusing on:

  • Creating the conditions for economic growth and manufacturing investment.
  • Promoting open markets and a level playing field.
  • Lowering the cost of manufacturing in the United States.
  • Investing in innovation.
  • Strengthening education, retraining and economic diversification.

Fred Keller, founder and CEO of Cascade Engineering, and John Padilla, COO of Ford Motor Co., sit on the national council with 11 other manufacturing leaders from across the industry.

At its first meeting, the council formed three subcommittees to tackle the industry’s most pressing issues. A work-force subcommittee is currently concentrating on the cost of health care “because it has become the Achilles heel in manufacturing,” Keller said. A subcommittee on competitiveness is focusing on tort reform, and a subcommittee on international trade is looking at market access issues. The subcommittees presented their initial findings and recommendations to the national council in September. The council meets again in February.

“We feel like there’s been some progress made and that we’ve reached a point where we have a good voice in Washington,” Keller remarked.

In addition, there’s the West Michigan Manufacturing Council at the local level and the Advanced Manufacturers Council at the state level, both of which enable members to learn best practices from each other and spur each other on to make continuous improvements.

The new national council offers similar but expanded opportunities, Keller said.

Congressman Vern Ehlers, R-Grand Rapids, has weighed in on the side of manufacturing, too, as author of the Manufacturing Technology Competitiveness Act, a bill intended to foster innovation in American manufacturing sciences. The bill was reintroduced to the House when Congress reconvened earlier this month, according to Ehlers’ Press Secretary Jon Brandt.

As Ehlers has explained it, the jobs of the future are going to require an understanding of the basic principles of math and science and what the country needs is a national strategy of innovation. That, he has said, can only be created with increased investment in and greater concentration on science, math, engineering and technology education both in schools and the workplace, he said.

Sabo Made 'Write' Choice

April 18, 2005
Text Size:
GRAND RAPIDS — Mostly she has been the byline, not the subject of one.

For eight years Mary Ann Sabo covered the business community for The Grand Rapids Press.

But a little more than two years ago, she climbed over to the other side of the news desk and began writing for area business owners instead of filing stories about them. It was the second day of 2003, or 01/02/03 in a rhythmic numeric term, when she started Sabo Public Relations and fulfilled a desire she had held for a while.

“I have been in PR for a number of years. My first job right out of college was a news bureau director for a university in the South and then I worked at Lambert Edwards for four years. I wanted the opportunity to continue working in public relations and I felt it was time for me to try something a little more entrepreneurial,” said Sabo.

“I work with a lot of family-owned businesses in West Michigan and have always enjoyed hearing stories of the presidents and CEOs and how they or their parents or grandparents started the business. And I thought, you know, I’d like to try that for myself.”

Warner Norcross & Judd, Legacy Trust, Nicholas Plastics, Languages International, Koeze Co. and Daniel’s are a few of Sabo’s clients.

Veteran journalists, however, don’t fade away very easily, and Sabo hasn’t removed herself entirely from the world of business news. She writes a column called Family Business Matters for the Business Journal, a topic that is right, and write, down her proverbial alley.

Her monthly GRBJ piece centers on the type of commerce that became dear to her after she reported on manufacturing firms with distinct bloodlines.

“I got to watch from the outside how they operate, and I’ve always been very intrigued by the fact that they give so much back to the community. It’s not only providing jobs, but it’s really providing a lot of philanthropic opportunities for the community,” she said.

“I think that local ownership is really important. I think we’ve seen over the years that when ownership changes hands, that when a family doesn’t want to transition to the next generation or isn’t able to and there is, perhaps, an outsider who comes in, we see less of a willingness to participate in the community.”

Sabo, a native of Lackawanna, N.Y., a suburb of Buffalo, was teaching journalism at FerrisStateUniversity when her career changed dramatically. Andy Angelo hired her as a full-time business reporter at The Grand Rapids Press after working three summers for the daily newspaper as a faculty intern. Sabo considers that event her biggest career break.

“In my first year of working for Ferris, I thought it would be really nice if I could bring more professional experience to the classroom. I did three summers of faculty internships (at the Press) and then they hired me fulltime,” she said.

“I was there four years as a business writer and basically four years doing freelance stuff.”

Sabo earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee at the Martin campus and did her master’s work at OhioStateUniversity. She taught at FSU for three years and then accepted a Fulbright Scholarship to teach journalism in Romania for a year.

Sabo is a member of the Association for Corporate Growth and someone who has been very active in the community. But ever since she began working for herself, she has had to cut back a bit on outside activities.

“I was quite active doing board work prior to starting my own business and I’ve had to rotate off my board commitments, because being self-employed is just a lot more time consuming. So I’m doing some work on a pro-bono basis, but I don’t have any other board commitments at this point,” she said.

In her spare time, Sabo goes to the movies. As a film buff, she said she has appreciated the independent films the Urban Institute of Contemporary Arts shows each week. “The Sea Inside” is her most recent favorite, a movie that was honored with the Academy Award for best foreign film. The Spanish film chronicles a quadriplegic who battles the government for the right to die with dignity.

“It’s an incredible movie; it was extremely moving and beautiful. It did deserve the award. I saw a lot of foreign films last year and it was probably one of the best,” she said.

Sabo also reads a lot, likes to cook and enjoys entertaining guests. Gardening has become a passion for her in recent years.

“It’s more vegetables than anything else, although I have been doing flower gardening. The woman who owned the house before me left it in beautiful shape. So everything comes up from year to year and all I have to do is weed,” she said with a laugh.

Sabo said she does miss covering the daily business beat, but enjoys helping business owners get their messages across to reporters, shareholders, employees, clients, and to the larger community. She also specializes in litigation communications and has co-authored an article about the process that has appeared in two American Bar Association newsletters.

“I really like being able to help with both the strategy and the implementation to make sure that what they’re trying to do comes across the way they’d like it to,” she said.

As for her immediate future, Sabo hopes that the coming years allow her to continue to grow right here in West Michigan

“I’ve been very fortunate that my business has gotten off to a very good start,” she said. “And I’d just like to continue doing the same work I’m doing right now, adding a few new clients and delivering good customer service to the clients I have.”

In the Clearing - Being the Change

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhimahatma-gandhi1

Change is hard.  Or, as my good friend Doug puts it, "momentum is a hell of a thing."

It is somewhat ironic that humans, a species whose survival over thousands of years has relied on adaptation, tends to resist and even fear change.

There will always be leaders who bring about change and stimulate those around them to think differently.  Gandhi was one.  Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates are all modern day examples of this.  They, like many before them, took risks, pioneered new ways of thinking, and have shaped a generation.

A couple weeks ago, I was at the Inc 5000 conference in Phoenix.  It was amazing to be surrounded by other entrepreneurs.  Inspiration was everwhere (and Alessandra and Tatiana wrote a blog post documenting it with some pictures I took).  There, I was surrounded by agents of change.  They are leaders who see ways to make the world a better place, and believe in themselves enough to be that change.

One of the most moving talks I saw was given by Hamdi Ulukaya, a Turkish immigrant who founded a little company called Chobani yogurt.  The man is incredible.  The courage it took to start that company, and the humility he shows even today with a billion dollar company under his command, is nothing short of amazing.  He started from nothing and built something incredible.

Many stories about entrepreneurship start that way.  I remember what it was like starting my first company, CoolerEmail, the predecessor to GreenRope.  It was an email marketing company that I co-founded in 2000.  I had saved up a few thousand dollars from my time in the Air Force and moved from Albuquerque to a small town north of San Diego, in southern California.  I had an idea, but no idea how to bring it to fruition.

It took years of working part-time, writing software in the early days of the Internet for other companies, before I was comfortable enough to devote 100% of my time to that new business.  In those years, there was a lot of a mac and cheese, many nights of Top Ramen, and working until 2am in front of my computer, trying to figure out how to build the best email marketing system I could.  I remember many nights when friends would ask me to go out for a beer, but out of my own fear of failure told them (repeatedly), "not this time, maybe next week."

I was never the party guy, almost always the sober driver, always the "responsible one" watching out for my friends to make sure they all got home safely.  I credit most of that to my upbringing.  My parents were always pretty strict and instilled in me a sense of discipline that was strengthened by my years in the military.  Leaving Uncle Sam to start my own company meant I had to apply what I learned from my parents and commanding officers to an uncharted territory of business.

I'm not going to lie - it was scary.  I mean like "I've been up for 48 hours and I'm afraid to fall asleep because what if I missed something" scary.  Anyone who has started a business knows this fear.  Fear of failure, fear of letting down customers, fear of competitors taking your business away.  Coming to grips with that fear and learning to live with it is one of the hardest things anyone who is trying to create change will find.

"Fear is the mind killer" is one of my favorite quotes from Dune (the movie - I never had the time to read Frank Herbert's massive epic novel).  Discipline is the only thing that overcomes fear and creates action instead of paralysis.

Sometimes mistakes can feed the fear demon.  I remember something that happened about 12 years ago, when we were just a fledgling startup, and someone created an account with a stolen credit card from an Internet cafe in Lagos, Nigeria.  He uploaded a list of several thousand email addresses and sent out a phishing email from our servers.  It was gut-wrenching to wake up in the morning and see the fallout from that.  It was ugly, it tore at my psyche, and it was rude awakening to the way many people in this world operate.  Right or wrong, he exposed a vulnerability to our way of thinking, one that we have since corrected with one of the tightest anti-spam and data security policies in the industry.  He taught me a lesson in carefully extending trust to the anonymous world of the Internet.  While I am grateful for the lesson, I didn't sleep for a week.

One of my best friends once told me a useful way to deal with fear and open the door for discpline and action.  First, you recognize your fear as a separate thing.  It's not you.  It's a feeling.  We all have fear built in to our psyches as self-defense mechanisms, so we never just ignore it.  But that doesn't mean it controls us.  My friend Jason taught me to think of my fear as a physical object.  You can pick it up, hold it in your hand, look at it, and then decide what you want to do with it.  You can put it in a box, you can look away from it, or you can choose to look directly at it.  But no matter what, you don't let your fear drive you to do something you don't want to do.  Conquering fear opens the door to discipline, to action.

My own personal greatest fear is that of failure.  If anyone ever feels like they haven't had a positive experience with me, in both my personal or professional life, I internalize that and it makes me wonder what I could have done to prevent that failure.  That same fear of failure is what drives me to work until 2am some nights, programming, writing, thinking of ways to improve GreenRope and generate more awareness about who we are and what we do.

After 14 years of living with this entrepreneurial fear of failure, I'm a little better at balancing the impact that fear has on my day-to-day life.  I know there are some things I can control, and other things I can't.  It doesn't mean there's no stress, just that I have learned to accept it.  Without a doubt, sacrifices have been and will continue to be made.  Sacrifice is something every business owner learns to be comfortable with, driven by the desire to create something amazing in the world.

At GreenRope, those same ethics of discipline and caring about the users of our platform are at the core of our company culture.  Every single person genuinely wants every GreenRope user to be happy with our platform, to learn how to use it to grow their business, and make their vision of growth a reality.  We are a small company, and intentionally so.  After many years of learning and focusing on helping our clients, we have built an environment that serves them.

On average, GreenRope clients grow their top line revenue 75% in the first 12 months (an independent statistic collected by a company that interviewed actual clients).  We want that number to always get bigger, always help our clients grow, run more efficiently, and unify their teams into common purpose.  But it always takes change.  The status quo doesn't create that kind of growth.

The idea of change means that we accept fear for the prospect of making ourselves and our organizations better.  We accept that there will be work, that we will use discipline to conquer our fear.

GreenRope represents more than software.  It represents a new way of thinking about running your organization.  One in which everything is unified, removing barriers, and creating efficiency.  It also means everyone involved has to care and contribute.  Organizations grow when people grow.  They die when people stop learning and stop trying to improve the way business is done.

If you are in the midst of change, or see opportunity for change, know that sometimes it will not be easy.  Sometimes you will experience fear.  Sometimes you will face resistance simply because people dislike change.  But hold on to your vision.  Life is a marathon, not a sprint.  Remember this quote that I remember well from a past life:

"The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in my growing up process, travel, health & wellness, spirituality, green beauty and food. I'm just here to share my fun in this world and how growing up is one big learning curve. Hope you have a nice stay!

The art of letting go

I shared this written piece on my instagram and I had a lot of people reach out that the words I wrote were very healing and helpful. So here it is for all of you to read :)

Sometimes you have to swallow pain

People, places, and memories aren’t meant to stay forever, but they’ll always live in your heart

Just because you have to let go of what once was, realize that something better always comes

The hardest part is letting go

When your heart feels all the pain, when tears stream down your face, and everything in your heart screams drop it, yet your mind reminds you of the moments that once touched your heart and soul so deeply. You’re living in confusion and you ask yourself why would I ever let this go?

Well my dear, when you feel pain and sadness you should never hold onto anything that makes you feel less than you are

Let go and hold your head high knowing you are allowed to choose yourself. You are allowed to be selfish with your heart even if your mind tells you otherwise. Be selfish. Take back your power. Remember you deserve love. Breathtaking earth shattering love from everyone that has the pleasure to know you because you would give the same

So when you struggle and ask do I stay or do I go?

Remember that you are special, you are magic, let the pain and sadness go and breath easy my dear 💕

Life as of lately 7.22.18

A homeowner's security cameras captured how one suspect managed to get into their home and take off with their three-month-old puppy. Authorities arrested James Powell after the homeowner identified him in the footage. Courtesy of Rita P. Bamba

When a Mangilao man returned home Monday afternoon, he found his three-month-old pit bull puppy missing and called police, according to a court complaint filed this week.

The puppy is worth $350 and was in a metal cage inside the house, court documents state. No one was home, but the man reviewed surveillance camera footage and saw suspect James Benjamin Abraham Longa Powell trying to get into one of the bedroom windows, court documents state.

Homeowner Rita P. Bamba also reviewed the footage and identified Powell as the suspect who stole the dog, according to the complaint.

Powell got into the house through a bathroom window, took the puppy and then left with another man, court documents state.

The puppy owner told police he suspects Powell stole the puppy for drugs, court documents state.

Bamba told an investigator with the Attorney General's Office that Powell’s not authorized to be in her house, court papers state.

Bamba said the puppy was later found at a distant neighbor's yard late Wednesday afternoon.

Powell was charged with burglary as a second-degree felony and theft of property as a misdemeanor.

Lets unscrew the middle and have a look!

Oh… that can’t be good

It was full of water.

I then unscrewed the main white plate

So yeah. Not surprising it didn’t work. Look at that corrosion!

I will have to replace the whole thing.

I THINK the water was getting in through the holes in the top that I have since filled – the same ones that were letting water drip out of the AC sockets. I’ll keep an eye on it for any further water ingress however.

The Funkiest Lick Ever?

Who recorded the funkiest guitar part of all time? It’s hard to say, but with the brilliant lick he came up with on L.T.D.’s 1977 R&B classic “(Every Time I Turn Around) Back In Love Again,” Johnny McGhee (Marvin Gaye, Les McCann) is a strong contender. (Work that 3rd-finger half-step slide!) Immensely satisfying syncopated Eb7#9 stabs hammer things home in the final measure, helping McGhee’s catchy riff ensure there was absolutely no parking on the dance floor—and that L.T.D.’s album Something to Love was a huge hit.

Here’s What Happens When You Combine the World's Two Craziest Stomp Boxes

What happens when you run your guitar into an effect chain consisting of what are arguably the two strangest pedals currently in existence? We are referring, of course, to Earthquaker Devices’ Rainbow Machine and Korg’s Miku Stomp.

A guitarist who goes by the name Taoiseach decided to find out, and the results of his experiment have been duly posted on his YouTube channel, Mr.Sunshine1.618.

For those of you unfamiliar with the pedals, the Rainbow Machine creates real-time pitch shifting using digital oscillators. The pedal’s Magic control creates bizarre ascending and descending pitches, chaotic chorusing, “pixie trails” and other sonic madness.

The Miku Stomp features the synthetic voice of humanoid Hatsune Miku, which is triggered by your guitar’s signal, allowing Miku to sing along with your playing.

For this video, Taoiseach plugged his Strat into the Rainbow Machine followed by the Miku Stomp. Many of the video comments suggest that he reverse the pedal order—a logical suggestion given that the Miku is a voice, which would typically be placed in front of an effect. Taoiseach explains to one commenter, “I tried that, it ends up just sounding like the Rainbow Machine. The Miku converts the signal, and then the Rainbow Machine takes that sound and runs with it .”

We’ll have to trust him on this one. Have a listen to the craziest pedal chain of all time.

Las Vegas Medical MarijuanaMedical Marijuana has been legal in the State of Nevada since 2000, but until recently, the law required licensed participants in the program to “grow their own” plants.  This process is time-consuming and difficult, and despite the wide-availability of the program, just over 5,000 individuals are currently licensed state-wide.

Recent changes in the law have permitted the commercial licensure for Medical Marijuana establishments, including:

  • Dispensaries
  • Cultivation (Grow)
  • Edible and other Marijuana-infused products
  • Independent testing laboratories

The commercial availability of medical marijuana state-wide means better quality, better quality control and no more having to treat your legitimate medical marijuana needs like illicit drug sales.  But to participate in these programs, you must follow the rules.

Even though these programs mean legal medical marijuana use, the penalties for illegal marijuana use haven’t changed – and conviction for drug crimes can mean lifetime penalties and restrictions.  Don’t take chances with strip mall “doctors” or unlicensed “consultants” – true compliance with the law can only really be accomplished by working with a licensed attorney.

At Half Price Lawyers, we have dedicated attorneys to help with both personal and business licensure, and each at the guaranteed lowest prices.

Do take advantage of these new laws, but don’t take chances with your rights and your future.  Call Half Price Lawyers for a free consultation regarding your medical marijuana needs today!

Strengthening Communities Fund and the Economic Recession

The Federal government's response to the 2009 economic slump was the Strengthening Communities Fund (SCF) authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).

Since people often turn to nonprofits for help in difficult financial times, SCF sought to build organizational capacity of faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) so they could better serve people in need and contribute to the economic recovery.

Spyro the Dragon is an early example of an intimate experience in gaming

Sean Spyro

With Spyro Reignited Trilogy being released, I decided to take a look at the first Spyro game on the PlayStation, Spyro the Dragon. Original released in 1998, Spyro the Dragon was Insomniac’s first platformer, and it involved running around open levels as Spyro, a dragon, as you charge into enemies, flame them, or glide from platforms. It was an instant hint and spawned numerous sequels and spin-offs.

However, the first Spyro the Dragon is the most intimate experience of the series, and that’s due to its lack of gameplay elements that the later games introduced. Starting with Spyro Ripto’s Rage, each level had an NPC that guided Spyro into doing different missions to earn the main collectible. These sometimes came in the form of minigames, but some missions were simply beating several enemies to a pulp.

Spyro the Dragon lacks this, leaving everything to be found by the player around the world rather than behind missions. In the beginning of the game, every dragon except for Spyro is turned to stone, leaving him alone in a world inhabited by hostile creatures. However, with this lack of friendly NPCs, there is a sort-of serene atmosphere to every level. When the enemies die, they’re gone for good until you restart the level. This leaves the level empty, and with the technical limitations of the PlayStation, it leaves behind a feeling of loneliness.

It’s not a feeling of emptiness due to a lack of utilizing space while designing the levels, it’s a feeling that there are secrets in each level waiting to be uncovered by you alone. Every nook and cranny has a treasure trove of gems, or even a hidden dragon. This sense of exploration and lack of direction from any NPC feels like every discover is made on your own. You aren’t being told what to do, you’re being rewarded because of how deep you dive into the game.

This is what I meant by an intimate experience. Spyro the Dragon embraces the loneliness, and through its smooth soundtrack and subtle secrets hidden within each level, it’s a rare experience that many games made afterwards fail to capture.

The fourth generation of the Jimny family, the incredible and exquisite design and performance vehicle was unveiled over the weekend as part of the Japanese Day Celebrations. The “YOSAKOI Festival” is an annual event organized by the Embassy of Japan and the Japanese Community in Ghana.

Present to join top Executives of SSAL to launch the vehicle were a delegation from the Japanese Embassy, led by His Excellency Mr Tsutomu Himeno, Japanese Ambassador to Ghana as well as representatives from Sumitomo Corporation including Mr Tanimoto Masafumi, Shimura Mayumi and Patrick Ampadu.

Launching the vehicle, Chief Executive Officer of SSAL, Mr Asad Nazir said the company was honoured to introduce the fourth generation Suzuki Jimny loaded with uncompromising features that define the Jimny as a serious off-roader, especially as the event coincides with the Japanese “YOSAKOI Festival”.

He expressed his delight to join the Japanese community in the country to mark the festival being ushered with a trusted Japanese vehicle brand and model – the Suzuki Jimny.

Presenting the vehicle to guests present, Silver Star Auto Ltd (SSAL) Suzuki Sales Manager, Kwaku Sintim Boamah, touted the vehicle as designed for Professionals; simple, beautiful and built to express off-road capability. He also commented on its strong square body that depicts its robustness and its ability to adapt to tough road situations.

Features of the vehicle include the robust ladder frame, the ALLGRIP Pro 4WD with a low-range transfer gear for maximum torque and traction on steep slopes and rough terrain and its round signature headlamps that accentuate the strong and rugged exterior even more.  Equipped with a 1.5-litre engine, it takes you wherever you want to go with unrivalled agility, power and economy.

Who hasn't heard that chicken soup is good for the soul? Well, now it's even better! We've made a gourmet blend reminiscent of the good ol' days. We start with a "chicken" textured vegetable based protein. Then we add dehydrated diced potatoes, green peas, carrots, sweet corn, green beans, mild onions, and seasonings to make this a special treat for any meal!

Pour entire contents into saucepan. Add 4 cups water and stir well to blend seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand an additional 5 minutes. Stir gently and serve.

Pour entire contents into a 1 1/2 - 2 qt. Slow Cooker. Add 4 cups water and stir. Cook slowly for 4 hours to blend flavors. Stir gently and serve. Try our preferred Rival 2 Qt. Slow Cooker.

Yield:  1 Packet makes 5 Cups

Serving Size = approximately 2/3 Cups.  Entire packet yields 5 cups or 8 servings.

Drop The Ball wins in world-record 1:48.4

August 31, 2012

« Return to News
Drop The Ball became the fastest 4-year-old pacing mare on a five-eighths-mile track when she won the $50,000 Fillies and Mares Open on Friday at Harrah's Philadelphia in 1:48.4.

Yannick Gingras was in the bike for trainer Ross Croghan as the Western Terror-Mattcheck Girl mare won for the fourth time in nine season's starts, improving her 2012 bankroll to $279,250. Let It Ride Stables, Dana Parham and Robert Cooper Stables are the owners of Drop The Ball.

Ginger And Fred and driver Eric Carlson were the early leaders in this race, taking the field to the opening quarter in :27. After getting away fourth from post five, Gingras sent Drop The Ball to the lead on the first pass in front of the grandstand and she hit the half-mile marker in :55.

Gingras turned Drop The Ball loose on the backstretch and she paced a :26.4 third quarter to trip the timer in 1:21.4. From there a final panel of :27 allowed Drop The Ball to hit the finish line in 1:48.4, breaking the old world record of 1:49.2 set by Makerbark in 2009 and equaled by Higher And Higher in 2011.

Ginger And Fred finished second, 6 3/4 lengths behind the winner, with Higher And Higher third for Daryl Bier.

Sent off as the overwhelming favorite, Drop The Ball paid $2.40 to win. (USTA)

5 Steps To Gaining CHAS Accreditation header image

29th June, 2018

5 Steps To Gaining CHAS Accreditation

Gaining CHAS accreditation is a priority for many construction companies, as it shows that your business is committed to health and safety best practice.

This type of health and safety accreditation is often required to become approved or invited to tender for clients, particularly in the public sector. So it can also help you to grow your business and win more work.

But how do you go about getting CHAS?

It can seem overwhelming to contractors undertaking the assessment for the first time, particularly when trying to complete the application process without the help of a construction health and safety advisor.

The 5 steps below will help you get ready for CHAS, and you can also follow our CHAS application guide for contractors to prepare your application.

These 5 key steps will be needed to prepare your business for gaining CHAS accreditation:

1. Assess the assessment

You used to be able to download the CHAS assessment from the CHAS website, but since you must now apply online, you can't do this with the current version of the application.

You can still get a good idea of what's required, from the CHAS standards and the CHAS guidance notes, which are still available on the CHAS website.

If you are looking to get accredited, this is a good place to start. This guidance outlines the documents and evidence your assessor will expect to see, giving you a clear idea of what you need to provide to gain accreditation. The guidance notes even include a checklist of the support documentation you are going to require.

For smaller contractors, you will be pleased to know that the application form is shorter and the requirements are a little less demanding for you. You are not expected to have the same health and safety management systems in place as a larger company. It should be proportionate to the work you undertake.

Once you have had a look through the CHAS guidance notes, assess the topics and questions, and decide where your strengths and weaknesses are, and work on any areas you feel you are falling short. You can even use our health and safety documents to help you fill any gaps.

Remember, to stand a good chance of success, you need to have all these things in place before you go ahead and apply for CHAS.

2. Prepare your paperwork

The first major step to gaining CHAS accreditation is in having the right paperwork in place, from your health and safety policy to your site forms.

If you are looking to gain CHAS accreditation, you are likely to have good control of your health and safety and have procedures in place to manage your activities. But do you have a record of this?

If it’s not written down and documented, it can’t be evidenced or assessed.

By law, if you employ over 5 people you need certain written records, but if you have less than 5 people, if you want CHAS, you're going to need written records as well. They can't assess you otherwise!

Either way, it is best practice to keep a record, to show you are complying with regulations.

health and safety paperwork

3. Use your documents

Policies, forms and procedures are all well and good, but they are actually no use for the safety of your workforce if they are not implemented on site.

Documents up on a shelf gathering dust? Or hidden away on your computer? Even if they are the best documents in the world, you won't pass CHAS if nobody has ever seen them.

You need records to show that you have consulted your workforce and that the documents are in use on site.

Records of site inductions, along with evidence that your workforce have seen and acted upon your risk assessments and procedures will be needed to be submitted as supporting documentation in your CHAS assessment.

4. Train and gain

Your CHAS assessor will need to see that you have a competent workforce, from management level down to site operatives.

Training is an important part of good health and safety management, making sure your team knows about hazards, rules and procedures around certain high-risk health and safety topics, like asbestos, or working at height.

It is important to identify what the training needs are for your workforce, based on the work they do and the roles they carry out and make sure training is kept up to date.

You will need to provide your training arrangements along with records and certificates for your workforce.

You can include both internal and external training records as your supporting evidence. External training will include off-site training and formal qualifications. Internal may be your site inductions, risk assessment briefings and toolbox talks.

5. Monitor and record

How do you assess if the health and safety rules and controls you have in place are successful? Monitoring of course!

Your monitoring procedures will be reviewed as part of your CHAS assessment, to check that you are continually reviewing and improving your health and safety standards.

This section will require your monitoring arrangements, along with evidence submitted to show that monitoring is carried out.

This should include site inspections, audits, action plans and minutes of health and safety meetings. You should also be able to provide accident records, including investigations into accidents and action taken to prevent reoccurrence, along with providing details of workforce consultation and subcontractor management where applicable.

So that's our 5 steps done, you should now feel more prepared now to get your business ready for CHAS.

Following the 5 steps above, and taking on the assessment one question at a time should help you in gaining CHAS accreditation for your business.

When you are ready to start the CHAS application process, you can follow our more detailed guide on passing the CHAS assessment first time.

It’s quite visible from my photos, that I quite often take at in the early morning and around sunrise. And you may be wondering why I do it, so today I will go through few points why to, or why to not go out to take photos so early in the morning.

Why yes

The light is different

You will see that right away. Same as with sunsets and evening blue hours, you have two very distinct times to shoo. But especially in the cities, there are not so many lights on in the morning, so there is much less light pollution. Like this, the light is different, and also the sunrise can create much dominant colors than the sunset.

Additionally, quite often due to the lower temperature during night, the weather conditions change. Quite often, especially when it’s too cloudy in the evening, the clouds break during the night, and you get the best sunrise sky.

There are no tourists

This is a huge thing, especially on popular spots. If you don’t want to have people in your photos, going to shoot very early will almost guarantee that you will have none. There are of course few exceptions, like for instance the Charles bridge in Prague, where you will always have someone there, but still, it will be only few instead of hundreds.

You won’t be disturbed

Another great thing is, especially in bigger cities, that early in the morning you wont be stopped from using a tripod. A chance that a security guard will go out and stop you during sunrise, is almost 0.

Long exposures reflectionsVery little traffic

Similar to very few people, you will also get very little traffic, if the sunrise is very early. Again, this will help you having more calmer photos, with few or no cars in them.

Why no

It’s very early

The biggest problem of course is, that you will have to get up very early. One gets absolutely no sleep, especially if you did sunset shooting the day before.

The lights may not be on

This can be a good and also a bad thing. There are normally two kinds of lights in cities. One are street illumination, and the second illuminate landmarks. Int he morning, the landmarks lights are usually off. So no lights shining on castles, statues, towers and similar. This may be great, if the lights were in you way in the evening, but may be bad if you wanted them in the photo.

Fisherman an the BridgeI know..I know.. another one of the Charles bridge. But if you had a photo like this, wouldn't you share it? :)The street lamps are usually great for a photo, but one has to be careful with he timing, as they are also turned off usually moments before sunrise (different in every city).

Places may not be accessible

One quite often problem could be, that some places are just not accessible during morning. There are especially public places, like gardens, parks, viewing platforms and similar, that can be closed during very early morning hours. If you are not sure, better to find out before hand.

Big BenIt’s creepy

This is something one has to get used to, especially if you plan to go out alone. I do it all the time, and it still feels strange sometime. You just have to imagine the situation, where you are alone in a place, that is normally full of people. It’s empty, it’s very quiet and you notice every single movement around you.

Even taking all this into account, I still feel it’s worth it, especially if you are somewhere only for a short amount of time. Going out taking photos also in the morning, will double you chances to get a nice blue hour/sunrise/sunset shot and that that is worth it :)

Btw. all photos in this post are early morning shots :)

Coloplast Biatain Adhesive Foam Dressing
Coloplast Biatain Adhesive Foam Dressing

Coloplast Biatain Adhesive Foam Dressing

Brand/Manufacturer: COLOPLAST

Coloplast Biatain Adhesive Foam Dressing provides superior absorption for wounds that need extra adhesion. Biatain Adhesive is a soft and conformable polyurethane foam dressing with a hydrocolloid adhesive. It effectively absorbs and retains wound exudate and ensures a balance that is optimal for moist wound healing conditions.

Coloplast Biatain Adhesive Foam Dressing Highlights:

  • Unique 3D foam structure
  • Minimal maceration and leakage
  • Long wear time
  • Soft and flexible dressing

Item #DescPkgRewardPrice
3423 7" x 7" (18cm x 18cm) 5/Pack $2.95
3488 7-1/2" x 8 (19cm x 20cm), Heel 5/Pack $4.40
3485 9" x 9", (23cm x 23cm), Sacral 5/Pack $3.75

3420 5" x 5" (12.5cm x 12.5cm) 10/Pack $4.40

Coloplast Biatain Adhesive Foam Dressing Features

  • Unique 3D foam structure for superior absorption: When in contact with exudate the unique 3D foam structure of Biatain conforms closely to the wound bed even under compression
  • Minimal maceration and leakage:The superior absorption and retention of exudate minimize risk of maceration and leakage. This adhesive dressing is well suited for use on wounds with healthy peri-ulcer skin and in areas with a need for extra adhesion
  • Long wear time: Due to the superior absorption capacity of Biatain dressing has a long wear time. Clinical studies have shown a wear time up to 7 days
  • Soft and flexible dressing: Biatain Adhesive is a soft and flexible dressing that is very comfortable to wear
  • Mode of action: The unique 3D foam structure absorbs the exudate vertically and locks the fluid away from its structure, still leaving the wound moist providing optimal moist wound healing conditions
  • Composition:
    - Biatain Adhesive is a soft and conformable polyurethane foam dressing with a skin friendly hydrocolloid adhesive border
    - The dressing may be used throughout the healing process to provide padding and protection for all types of wounds and are well-suited for use under a compression device
  • Importance of Absorption and Retention: Exudate absorption is essential to wound healing. Too much exudate can delay healing or cause maceration of the healthy peri-wound skin

Indications of Biatain Foam Dressing:

  • Low to highly exudating wounds
  • Leg ulcers
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Chronic wounds
  • Skin tears
  • Superficial and partial thickness burns
  • Donor sites
  • Postoperative wounds
  • Skin abrasions

How to Use Biatain Foam Dressing?

  • If clinically indicated, the wound should be cleansed in accordance with normal practice and the surrounding skin thoroughly dried before application of the adhesive sheet.
  • A dressing should be selected that provides 1-2 cm overlap around the wound margin to ensure good adhesion.
  • Using the 'non-touch' applicators to ensure sterile application, locate the foam pad over the wound and remove the backing films one at a time whilst smoothing the dressing onto the skin.

Frequency of Change:
  • The frequency of dressing changes will be governed by the state of the wound. On clean epithelializing wounds the dressing may be left in place for up to seven days, but on more heavily exuding wounds more frequent changes may be required.
  • It is recommended that the dressing be changed when the exudate approaches 2 cm from the margin.

Precautions while Using Biatain Foam Dressing:

  • Biatain Adhesive is presented individually wrapped in a peel pouch, sterilized by beta irradiation.
  • The dressings are available in the form of squares for routine use, with specially designed shaped versions available for dressing sacral, heel and difficult to dress areas.

  • Wounds on patients dressed with Biatain Adhesive with local and systemic infections and/or wounds caused by arterial insufficiency or diabetes, primarily on the lower leg or foot, should be inspected by a healthcare professional on a daily basis.
  • In the event of an allergic reaction, the manufacturer should be contacted for information on dressing components.

  • Biatain Adhesive dressings are not recommended for use with oxidizing solutions e.g. hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide and should not be applied to patients who are known to be sensitive to one of the components.

Cardiac Markers: CK-MB and Troponin

Cardiac markers are tests that indicate damage to the heart that become detectable in the blood. There are 2 such markers CK-MB and troponin.

CK/Creatine Kinase

What is CK or creatine kinase? CK is an enzyme found in all muscle and brain. Then how does this cardiac marker differentiate from the heart or cardiac muscle. There are 3 types of CK enzymes one found in skeletal muscle (CK-MM), heart muscle (CK-MB) and brain (CK-BB). CK-M is a muscle type of the enzyme and CK-B is the brain type. The problem with the CK test is that it isn’t as neat and tidy as suggested there elements of each category of CK enzyme found in the skeletal muscle and heart. Which can be broken down as follows CK-BB is 100% found in the brain (great test to find brain damage by the way), CK-MM is found 99% in skeletal muscle and 80% in heart muscle (Not good a good cardiac marker at all and weird the percentages don’t add up) and CK-MB is found 20% in the heart muscle and 1% in the skeletal muscle. A word about percentages, the heart has 80% CK-MM and 20% CK-MB. Looking at it this way the percentages do add up! Wait why not test for CK-MM and don’t bother about the CK-MB. Look at how much CK-MM there is in skeletal muscle (99%). By focusing on this cardiac marker you are actually commented on how much skeletal damage there is and not heart muscle damage and it is the heart we want to look at. Even-though there is less CK-MB in the heart, the overall ratio of heart to skeletal muscle is better (20% heart to 1% skeletal). It is in this ratio the test is valid, but it is not perfect. It is this reason that this test alone does not mean that the elevation is solely caused by heart damage since that it is still found in 1% of skeletal muscle, but it does qualify the test as valid. In combination with other tests does it show its true power.

The discovery of troponin has elevated cardiac testing to new heights. Troponin’s power has proven itself over and over again. Unlike CK-MB, troponin is solely found in the heart and any evidence found of it in the blood indicates damage to the heart. It is a 99% accurate cardiac marker (I hesitate to say 100% since there are no guarantees in medicine, but it is close). When investigating heart damage it is imperative to ascertain a timeline. Troponin is time dependant by starting to be noticeable in the blood 6 to 8 hours after damage has occurred and remaining in the blood 7 to 10 days after. So if a doctor is concerned about heart damage or heart attack and the pain started 3 hours prior then the lack of troponin in the blood does not mean no attack has occurred it means that testing for the cardiac marker was done too early. A second blood test would need to be done in 3 to 5 hours to look for the presence of the enzyme. If this test is negative (no troponin detected) then no heart damage has occurred. If it is positive then the higher the number indicates the severity of the damage. It doesn’t mean that you wait to go the hospital, on the contrary, still get to the hospital as fast you can. Medicine works best with multiple tests, such as an ECG/EKG which will rule a heart attack right away. If the ECG test is positive then treatment can be done immediately resulting in no heart damage at all. Troponin is then important if the ECG/EKG is negative. A positive result means heart damage has occurred, but from what? Congested heart failure? Asthma exacerbation (worsening of)? Or silent MI? there are multiple reasons why a troponin would be high and a qualified physician can only make that determination based on a thorough cardiac examination.

If they are found in the cell then how do they become visible in the blood? Good question! Normally enzymes aren’t found in the blood at all which makes them good cardiac markers. The cells hold onto the enzymes and if they aren’t detected in the blood we call that a “negative test” or “results are negative”. When the muscle or brain is damaged some how it causes a series of events that causes necrosis or cell death. The event that starts the process is a physical injury such as a fall or car accident that physically hurts the muscle. It could also be from lack of blood flow that doesn’t allow food to get to the cell. These 2 actions start an immune response. You would know the immune response from getting a cold or flu or hay fever or even an allergic reaction. What happens is there is an increase in blood flow to a localized area; which in turn causes swelling. The point to these reactions is to bring the white blood cells to an area to literally eat away the damaged tissue. Since the cell is now being broken further it “spills” the enzymes into the blood stream to be detected by our blood tests.

meet RAVEN

Hi, I'm Raven, the creative and blogger behind hellorven based in Atlanta. I decided to start hellorven in 2014 as a beauty blog to fuel my interest in natural hair, skincare and style.

As my blog grew, I grew along with it and started sharing life beyond beauty tips, and my interest in design and building websites.

I love to cook (and eat) just about anything. Shea butter, basic tees, photography and new tech make my heart smile. I write about my constantly evolving creative process, all things beauty, wellness and design. I also upload videos to my YouTube channel where I share these topics and more.

My mission is simple: to design a life I love and encourage others to do the same. I hope this online space offers you a dose of creative inspiration.

Email: hellorven@gmail.com
Social Media: @hellorven

Don't hesitate to reach out to me through email if you need advice, looking to collaborate or just talk.

+ When did you start your blog?

I started this blog in 2014 - around the summer before my senior year of college. Can you believe I'll hit 5 years in July 2019!

+ Do you have any advice on starting a blog?

My advice is simple: get clear about your goals, know your voice and just start. This is so important because it’s easy to fall into what everyone else is doing. The market is saturated with other bloggers - what sets you apart? What do you actually enjoy blogging about? Find that thing and own it. If you're curious about how to start a blog, check out my post here.

+ Do you take all of your photos?

Some of them I take myself, but in the past few years I’ve hired professional photographers for a lot of my photography. The photographer is always credited in the post and I always style the images myself. I also use a few stock photo websites, which are also always credited.

+ Why Did You Switch From Wordpress To Squarespace?

While I love Wordpress and still continue to work with clients through that platform, I needed something that would help me showcase my design work. Squarespace was this for me - customization was easy for me after understanding the basics.

+ Who are some of your inspirations?

I follow a few people within different mediums - mostly illustration. A few of my favorites are: Jade Purple Brown, Janice Sung, Laci Jordan, Marrica Evans, Munirah Safiyah Jones and Temi Coker.

+ Any goals for the new year?

Setting goals is a constant for me - being consistent is where I struggle. My main goal is to produce more work within different mediums. I'd also love to collaborate with a few of my favorite brands and people. I think starting my online shop and selling prints would be dope too.
