Area businesses learn about global expansion

By Isabella Shaya | Published 05/15

media media In light of developments to the global business market in the past few years, business owners, importers, exporters and local leaders gathered on Tuesday at Kellogg Center to discuss businesses’ options to expand globally, at the Port Lansing 2012 Global Logistics Conference. The Capital Region International Airport and Port Lansing brought in experts with international business to speak on their experiences and tips on supply chain management, international logistics, international finance and other various global trade exercises. Tim Daman, president and CEO of Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce said he works in partnership with the Capital Region International Airport on managing and marketing the Port Lansing services as well as the Foreign Trade Zone, and said the conference was a way for them to introduce these services to the attendees of the conference. “The expectations of what we were hoping to do here was expose businesses throughout the greater Lansing region to the opportunities for international and global trade and the resources that were established and built here locally,” Daman said. Matt Szukalowski, UPS marketing manager of the Great Lakes District branch, said his company uses Port Lansing to export and import packages daily, but he came to the conference to learn more about the logistics aspect. “UPS is obviously very versed in logistics, but looking at it from the customer’s perspective ­— what do they expect from the provider?” Larry Finney, supply chain manager of Air Lift Company, attended the event to pitch his company to Port Lansing, but found he learned more about what Port Lansing can do for his company. “I’ve gained a lot more today than I expected,” Finney said.

Over-ear headphones safer

By Zach Smith | Published 05/14

I recently got rid of my earbuds for some over-the-ear headphones.
I’ve been using earbuds for years, but not only do headphones sound better, they’re safer as well.
A study from CBS News says that at 80 percent of full volume, the safe daily limit of earbuds is only one and a half hours.
The same study says that someone could listen to over-the-ear headphones for nearly five hours at the same volume.
It also depends on the person and how tough their ears are, but there is no way to tell what type of ears you have.
When I’m walking to class with my headphones on, I find it less distracting with the over-the-ear headphones, and I can keep the volume pretty low.
The bigger headphones might be a little more expensive, but they could save your hearing.
