Another Hi-tech Product Developed by Oceanit. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Jay Andrews.
industrial equipment company, Kennametal (NYSE: KMT), just acquired Oceanit's Blast Ninja brand of abrasive blasting nozzles. Oceanit developed and commercialized Blast Ninja with support from the US Navy and Air Force, and built the brand in Hawaii, growing sales in over 15 countries across three continents in the 12 months.

Blast Ninja was developed by Oceanit’s aerospace team, built upon research in fighter jet engine noise reduction. The nozzles are designed to reduce hearing loss in workers exposed to extreme levels of sound during blasting maintenance operations of infrastructure, vehicles, and industrial equipment – a multi-billion cost to the military and health care systems each year. The deal will expand the product reach to Kennametal’s global partners and customers.

North Shore Writing Inspiration. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guests are Constance Hale and Chris McKinney.
Life is filled with distractions, especially in cities where people, tasks and responsibilities are always demanding attention. Finding time for new projects, even highly desired ones, is hard. If activities are quickly started and quickly finished, then they can be squeezed in. But if they are slow starting, like the blank page staring at the would-be writer, if they demand thought and study, these can be very difficult to squeeze into one’s life. Enter the Retreat where one is geographically pulled away from one’s normal busy life and relocated to a quiet, restful place where time is available and plentiful. A place where others have come to work on similar projects, a place where teachers are available to guide and support these projects, that is an opportunity to follow one’s desire, that is a Retreat.
