[2:23] Chris Hansen is a longtime and continuing member of the RIMS New Jersey Chapter. He's semi-retired and owns Snug Harbor Risk Consulting. [2:34] Chris is a reliable virtual instructor at RIMS and he'll be leading two upcoming virtual workshops, Fundamentals of Risk Management, on August 8th and 9th, and Managing Worker Compensation, Employer's Liability, and Employment Practices in the U.S., on Nov. 7th and 8th. Links to register are on the show notes. [2:57] Justin talks to Chris about his career managing risk and safety for major companies and chains like Pathmark, Rite Aid, and Walmart and how worker comp and the fundamentals of risk management influenced his career. [3:23] Justin welcomes Chris Hansen to RIMScast. Chris is a longtime member of the RIMS New Jersey Chapter. [4:13] With a degree in industrial engineering, Chris started as an engineer for Pathmark Supermarkets. After the insurance crisis of the 1980s, he became the company's first safety manager. They didn't know what to do with the position until they had him report to Risk Management. When the Risk Director was promoted, Chris took that role. [6:21] Chris led a team of great people until the company was acquired about 12 years later. At its biggest, his team was about 20 people, including clerical support staff. [7:06] In the days before email, if a store had an accident, they filled out a five-part multicolor form and stuck it in the interoffice mail. It showed up in the risk management department after about four days. In the meantime, an injured party was wondering why they weren't getting a phone call. Email is a big improvement. [8:21] Chris went to Walmart from Pathmark, He wanted to work for a company too large to be bought by a competitor. He was a divisional safety manager. Eventually, Chris led the Safety and OSHA Compliance Program in Asset Protection for Walmart's 4,500 retail stores with 1.3 million employees. He focused on reducing loss frequency. [9:42] After Walmart, Chris went to Rite Aid in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Chris was VP of Risk Management at Rite Aid for about six years. Much had changed in risk management from the time Chris had left Pathmark. At Pathmark, there was no discussion of cyber or employment practice liability. [10:41] When you're in retail, but also you're a healthcare provider, you're right in the crosshairs. He enjoyed the work and had terrific business partners. Chris retired in the Spring of 2020. One of Chris's last projects was helping the offices go virtual. The retail stores remained open during the COVID-19 pandemic. [12:10] Chris's job was about protecting the employees the best they could and coming up with HR policies on the fly, including pay. The pharmacists had to be there to take care of the patients. After that project, Chris was ready to retire. [12:54] Chris tells how his risk philosophy changed from Pathmark to Rite Aid. His aha moment happened in 1992. James Carville, a political consultant for Bill Clinton, came up with, “It's the economy, Stupid!” for the Clinton campaign. Chris printed up a sign, “It's the frequency, Stupid!” as a risk mantra over his desk and he used it for all his career. [14:43] If you take care of eliminating accidents, everything else takes care of itself. All risk-associated costs go down if you take care of frequency first. Chris has 28 consecutive years of claim frequency reductions for his employers! [15:19] RIMS plug time! Sponsor an episode of RIMScast! Contact us at pd@rims.org.

[17:11] What mindset is needed for the risk leader of a widely-known brand? What's paramount is that you've got to protect the reputation of the organization. When a company fills 300 million scripts a year, even a low error rate can be disastrous. What can happen if there's a high-profile claim or a data breach? [18:04] Chris has dealt with floods, fires, stabbings, and shootings throughout his career. Those are high-profile events that have to be handled delicately. You have to be in lock-step with your business partners, public affairs people, and the leadership team. Even dealing with an individual claim, that person's a customer and they have neighbors. [18:34] When you're self-administered for liability claims, you're not handing the claim off to someone else. You've got to treat people equitably, with respect, but at the same time, protect the interests of the company the best that you can. It's a delicate balance. [19:23] Chris was at Walmart when an employee was trampled to death at Valley Stream as a store opened on Black Friday in 2008. It was Chris's first Black Friday at Walmart. He had never seen an event of that scale. [20:01] Chris was at a store in Union, New Jersey, standing to the side of the entrance when they unlocked the doors and a horde of people came rushing through. There were pallets of televisions down the first aisle. By the time the crown had thinned, there was nothing left but empty pallets and a few boxes that had been stepped on.  [20:29] It was the most surreal thing Chris had ever seen. Shortly after that, Chris got a call from his vice president at the HQ in Arkansas. She asked where he was and how soon could he get to Valley Stream. Pulling into the parking lot, seeing how desolate it was, and seeing police tape around the entrance, is something Chris will never forget. [21:12] Chris explains the very unfortunate situation. They had started to open the doors to let a pregnant woman through because she was being pushed and the crowd just thought that was the opening. They just came rushing through the doors and an employee who was standing there got trampled and killed. [21:35] OSHA was there and Chris had to deal with their investigation. Nassau County detectives were there, as it was a crime scene. [21:54] What happened as a result of that tragedy was that Walmart put together the most comprehensive crowd-control program that had ever existed in retail. They brought in consultants who were specialists in crowd control who had done security for Super Bowls and big arenas. There's a science to it and Walmart had been a novice. [22:36] From that point forward, there was a plan and everybody stuck to the plan. They have never seen another tragedy like that again. [23:11] That particular store, in Nassau County on Long Island, was the closest store to New York City so it was a very congested, high-volume store. Chris has never seen anything that cataclysmic and he never will again, he hopes. [24:20] As a consultant, Chris is still focused on frequency; preventing accidents, but now it's personal. When he's working with power tools around the house or cleaning gutters, preventing accidents is the first thing he thinks about. He asks himself what could go wrong? Have someone hold the ladder! [25:10] Chris has always felt you have to have good data to manage risk. That means knowing who your business partners are who have that data, whether it's engineering, HR, or others. Chris is still focused on data, making sure he knows his numbers, At this point, the numbers he focuses on are cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight. [25:52] Chris has Fundamentals of Risk Management on August 8th and 9th. Registration closes on August 7th. What will Chris be teaching? The course talks about risk management as a corporate function and how it fits into the organization. Chris talks about risk management processes, fundamentals, and procedures. [26:31] Chris wraps up the seminar by talking about risk management as a profession. From his experience, it's been a heck of a ride. It's a profession that he's very glad to have had an opportunity to work in. “War stories” help Chris cover things in context. If war stories don't get their attention, he talks about his battle scars. [27:17] On November 7th and 8th Chris teaches Managing Worker Compensation Employers' Liability and Employment Practices in the U.S. Chris teaches what is the legal obligation for all employers. It's very procedural and formula-driven. There are nuances to it, as laws vary by state. Worker Compensation is a state-based system. [28:01] Chris gives folks the flavor of everything involved the loss control side, the cost containment opportunities to manage claims more effectively, take better care of your people, and get them back to work. [28:16] From there, Chris teaches Elmployer's Liability, which comes into play when something involving your employee is not covered under Worker Compensation. It's a defense policy. Chris wraps up the seminar with Employment Practices Liability, which covers all the bad things that can happen to people and how the policies respond. [29:02] There are links to registration pages for these courses in the show notes. If you're a RIMS member, you get the benefit of reduced rates. [29:15] Chris shares his advice for young risk professionals or anyone considering the risk management profession: “There are two things. The first is to be inquisitive. Ask questions. RIMS has a whole variety of courses available and so many different publications and things. … Risk Management Magazine is a terrific one.” [30:18] “The other thing I would say is to develop your network and build relationships. Develop relationships with your internal business partners, because risk management is a discipline that touches everything in the organization. And to be effective, you have to have command of pretty much everything that goes on in your organization.” [30:45] “The other thing I would say is if you're in driving distance from a RIMS chapter, get involved with that chapter. You'll get an opportunity to talk to your peers, to share concerns, seek advice and guidance, in real time over lunch, and hear some terrific speakers.” The New Jersey Chapter gets some phenomenal speakers. [31:46] Justin tells Chris it's been a real pleasure to see him again. There are links to the two courses on this episode's show notes. Be sure to pounce on Fundamentals of Risk Management, on August 8th and 9th. Registration closes on August 7th. Justin thanks Chris for joining us on RIMScast.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.27.550674v1?rss=1 Authors: Verdys, P., Rey Barroso, J., Vermeil, J., Bergert, M., Sanchez, T., Metais, A., Mangeat, T., Bellard, E., Bigot, C., Girard, J.-P., Maridonneau-Parini, I., Verollet, C., Lagarrigue, F., Diz-Munoz, A., Heuvingh, J., Piel, M., Du Roure, O., Le Cabec, V., Carreno, S., Poincloux, R. Abstract: The cellular actin cortex provides crucial mechanical support and plays critical roles in numerous functions, including cell division and migration. The proteins of the ERM family, ezrin, radixin, and moesin, are central to these processes by linking the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton. To investigate the individual contributions of these three proteins to leukocyte migration, we generated single and triple ERM knock-out macrophages. Surprisingly, we found that even in the absence of ERMs, macrophages can still form the different actin structures promoting cell migration, such as filopodia, lamellipodia, podosomes, and ruffles. Furthermore we discovered that, unlike every other cell type previously investigated, the single or triple knock-out of ERMs does not affect macrophage migration in a large diversity of contexts. Finally, we demonstrated that the loss of ERMs in macrophages does not affect the mechanics of their actin cortex. These findings challenge the notion that ERMs are universally essential for cortex mechanics and cell migration and support the notion that the macrophage cortex may have diverged from that of other cells to allow for their adaptive cortical plasticity.

This week's EYE ON NPI passes the vibe check - it's Vybronics' Rectangular LRA Vibration Motor (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/v/vybronics/rectangular-lra-vibration-motor) and friends - a series of linear resonant actuators, AKA LRA, used to create vibration/haptic feedback. Haptics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology) were first used in airplanes - where originally there was a mechanical connection between the pilot controls and the plane steering. That is, when turning or tilting the yoke, it would mechanically control any flaps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_control_system). However, that means that the pilot would have to be strong enough to move the flaps while also keeping track of all the different controls needed - a recipe for disaster because a tired or confused pilot could make a catastrophic mistake! So, instead, the control of aircraft turned to hydro-mechanical and then servo-electrical. You might see the same on modern cars: instead of the steering wheel directly controlling the tire angle, it now send a signal that is interpreted by motors that do the actual movement, also known as Drive by wire. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_by_wire) The trade-off with drive or fly-by-wire is that there's less need for strength and speed by the person in the cockpit - but they do lose the mechanical feedback that would normally be fed back through the mechanical linkages. That feedback is important because it allows you to feel when something might be blocking or fighting against the motion - in planes you can tell the airspeed and the craft's stress level. Sure you can put this information in a gauge of some sort but it requires the operator to look and interpret a number when the feeling is more intuitive. Thus the invention of force feedback or...haptics! Haptics have been tirelessly used in automotive and aircraft for decades, when in the 90's they had a bit of a resurgence as part of VR interfaces. If you're in a 3D rendered virtual world, you want to feel when you bumped into something or grabbed an item successfully. For gaming, an early form of 'play by wire' we've moved from the 1994 Aura Interactor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aura_Interactor) to being included in almost every game controller, like the 1997-released N64 Rumble Pak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_Pak) and Playstation DualShock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DualShock) as vibrational feedback when moving or taking damage. Mobile devices are also big users of haptic feedback - originally as vibration alert for 'silent mode' - but now also for typing and UX feedback. For vibration feedback, a basic ERM motor such as the Vybronics VZ43FC1B5640007L (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/vybronics-inc/VZ43FC1B5640007L/12323649) will do fine - turn it on to cause a vibration that can be detected even when the phone is in a bag or pocket. But if you want to have 'sharper' feedback, these ERMs aren't as good because they take time to turn on and get up to speed. So they're good for big motion but not quick motion. That's when you want to use LRAs - Linear Resonant Actuators. (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/v/vybronics/rectangular-lra-vibration-motor) Vybronics makes a wide range of LRA vibration motors (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/jinlong-machinery) in addition to their wide range or ERM's. You can select from different sizes - larger ones will of course have a stronger feedback response, but will require more energy and size. ERM's are really easy to drive: provide a positive DC voltage and the motor starts moving. LRA's are harder to control, you will need an AC waveform to kick-start the resonant motion. (https://www.vybronics.com/lra-assembly-drawing) Our favorite driver is the TI DRV2605 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/DRV2605LDGSR/5014144) which we even have a breakout board (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/adafruit-industries-llc/2305/5356831) to make it easy to connect up to a Vybronics LRA. The DRV2605 even comes with a wide range of built-in waveform actions (https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv2605.pdf) to make integration very easy. Vybronics also has some examples of how to mount their motors with PCB contacts to allow the motor to vibrate within a cavity.(https://www.vybronics.com/mounting-with-spring-contacts) Vybronics' Rectangular LRA Vibration Motors such as the VLV152564W (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/vybronics-inc/VLV152564W/19203005) will make the vibe right in your product that requires tactile haptic feedback to improve your user experience. With their small cases and high strength, they'll turn glass touchscreens and capacitive touch buttons into something that feels like a mechanical control surface. Order today and DigiKey will ship your motor instantly so that you can be tick-tack-bzzt'ing your way to a haptic cyber-future by tomorrow afternoon.

This week we will discuss an extremely rare type of cancer that is most often associated with younger children.  When it affects adults it is more difficult to treat. Our guest this week is Wilder McNemar.  Wilder has a decent following on TikTok which is where I found him.  You can follow him here: https://www.tiktok.com/@queerpple?lang=en ​ A Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of soft tissue sarcoma. A sarcoma is a tumor that starts in the supporting tissues (connective tissues) of the body - for example, bone, muscle, fat, cartilage and ligaments. Rhabdomyosarcomas grow in the muscles of the body. Rhabdomyosarcoma can occur anywhere in the body. There are three types of rhabdomyosarcoma which affect different age groups:   Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) This most often affects young children, usually under the age of 6 years. It most often occurs in the head and neck region, especially in the tissues around the eye (called an orbital rhabdomyosarcoma). Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma may also occur in the womb, vagina, bladder or the prostate gland. One type of Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma is called sarcoma botryoides, which looks like a bunch of grapes and most often occurs in the vagina or bladder. Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcomas usually spread to surrounding tissues. However, the outcome (prognosis) is usually very good and most children with Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma are cured of the cancer. Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma This tends to occur in older children and young adults. Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcomas (also called ARMS) most often occur in the arms and legs, chest or tummy (abdomen).  This is the type Wilder is working with. ​ARMS typically affects all age groups equally. It makes up a larger portion of RMS in older children, teens, and adults than in younger children (because ERMS is less common at older ages). ARMS most often occurs in large muscles of the trunk, arms, and legs. ARMS tends to grow faster than ERMS, and it usually requires more intense treatment. However, in some cases of ARMS, the cancer cells lack certain gene changes, which makes these cancers act more like ERMS (and allows doctors to give less intense treatment). ​Pleomorphic Rhabdomyosarcoma This tends to occur in middle-aged adults. It is usually treated with chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy but treatment is not as effective as for other types of Rhabdomyosarcoma. ​We will keep Wilder in our thoughts and prayers and if you are interested in making a donation, there's a link on Wilder's TikTok account: https://www.tiktok.com/@queerpple?lang=en .

David recently read an interview with a former head of Toastmasters who was also a former speaking World Champion. In it, he said that erms and ahs SHOULD be in presentations and that getting rid of them is a bad thing. In this episode, David explains why this guy was totally wrong and goes even further, saying why it is critical that you not only get rid of them in your professional talks but also your personal conversation.

This episode Brie & C-Grimey discuss the black principal of east Ridge Middle School who made their Black History Month Theme "All Lives Matter", kidnapping in Chattanooga, and much more.

Jim! This one's for you. We all do it. We can talk all day to friends, colleagues and family without uttering a singled 'um' or 'erm'. But sit in front of a microphone to record a podcast and they pour out between every sentence. So how do professional broadcasters and newsreaders speak without making these unwanted noises? Practice, practice, practice - a heavy dollop of self discipline. Sure, we can edit our podcasts to remove these noises; but it can get boring after a while and it is time consuming - so far as I know - there is not an app for that (yet). The best way to solve this is to train yourself not to make those noises at all.

Kaylah is very special to us. She is Cassie's bonus kid (aka step-daughter). Kaylah was diagnosed with Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcome (ERMS) at age 4. ERMS (which was in her nose) is a rare histological form of cancer in the soft tissue.She doesn't remember much about going through chemo, but she walks us through what she remembers and how it has impacted her life now.

Have you ever noticed how speakers can sometimes use 'Filler Words' like "ers" and "ums"?  Or perhaps you have used them yourself when delivering a speech or presentation? They are likely to appear whilst speaking when we are thinking of what to say next or trying to decide between alternative ways of expressing a point. They essentially fill the gaps in our speech whilst we are pondering our next words. In this episode you will learn how simply using a PAUSE can help remove those "ers" and "ums" with ease. Subscribe to my newsletter and receive monthly tips and techniques to help you speak and communicate with confidence. Please click me: http://eepurl.com/gj6Sb9. In the next episode I will be sharing a technique on what to do when you are delivering a speech and you forget what you wanted to say next.

Erms-was? werden Sie vielleicht fragen. In der Tat: Das Örtchen Ermsleben in Sachsen-Anhalt ist über die Grenzen des ostdeutschen Bundeslands wohl kaum bekannt. Auch unser Deutschland-Korrespondent Peter Voegeli kam nur durch Zufall nach Ermsleben – und entdeckte einen Ort in einer wunderschönen Landschaft. Einen Ort aber, der bald 30 Jahre nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung noch immer mit Abwanderung zu kämpfen hat. Ausserdem treffen wir am Bodensee einen Mann, der nach einer Firmenrestrukturierung arbeitslos wurde und der, weil er zu den ü-55- Generationen gehört, keine Stelle mehr findet. Und wir sprechen im westafrikanischen Sierra Leone mit Menschen, die die Regierung nach dem Fund eines faustgrossen Diamanten von 709 Karat am millonenschweren Verkaufserlös beteiligen wollte. Auf die Einlösung dieses Versprechens warten die bitterarmen Dorfbewohner noch immer.

We open this week’s show with the sad news that Harper Lee and Umberto Eco had passed away. In other news, the Devon town of Tiverton influenced J. D. Salinger’s Catcher In The Rye, One Direction fan-fiction author Anna Todd starts an app for her fans, and as is our tradition we discuss Bookseller Diagram Prize for the oddest book title. Our featured book is Dragon Hunters by Marc Turner (Book 2 of The Chronicles of the Exiles). #Dragon_Hunters #Marc_Turner #The_Chronicles_of_the_Exiles #LiteraryLoitering #TheGeekShow #Books #Novels #Arts #Theatre #News #Reviews #Podcasts

Purpose: To evaluate the selectivity and strength of intraoperative trypan blue staining during removal of epiretinal membranes (ERMs) and the internal limiting membrane. Methods: Based on intraoperative videos, 51 consecutive chromovitrectomies in 51 patients with macular holes, macular pucker, vitreomacular traction syndromes, or persistent macular edema were retrospectively studied. Fifteen subjects underwent trypan blue, 14 indocyanine green, and 22 brilliant blue G chromovitrectomy. The main outcome measure was the color contrast between stained internal limiting membrane or ERM and the underlying unstained tissue by means of objective, quantitative, semiautomated chromaticity difference measurements. Results: Trypan blue stains both ERM and the internal limiting membrane (average chromaticity scores 8.51 and 7.09, respectively; P = 0.48). Internal limiting membrane chromaticity scores were similar for trypan blue (7.09) and brilliant blue G (6.81; P = 0.71) but clearly higher for indocyanine green (15.81; P = 2.45 +/- 10(-5)). Conclusion: Under the premises of our study, trypan blue stains both ERM and the internal limiting membrane. Trypan blue's staining capacity of the internal limiting membrane is similar to that of brilliant blue G but significantly inferior compared with indocyanine green. Trypan blue, thus, represents a useful vital dye for chromovitrectomy, particularly in the presence of ERM, where it allows a sequential approach. RETINA 33:818-824, 2013

Purpose. To describe new details of epiretinal cell proliferation in flat-mounted internal limiting membrane (ILM) specimens. Methods. One hundred and nineteen ILM specimens were removed en-bloc with epiretinal membranes (ERMs) from 79 eyes with macular pucker (MP) and 40 eyes with vitreomacular traction syndrome (VMTS). Intraoperatively, posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was assessed as complete or incomplete. Whole specimens were flat-mounted on glass slides, and processed for interference and phase contrast microscopy, cell viability assay, and immunocytochemistry. Results. Mean cell viability percentage was higher in MP than in VMTS. Two cell distribution patterns were found. Anti-CD163 labeling presented predominantly in MP with complete PVD. CD45 expression was similar in all groups of diagnosis. Anti-GFAP labeling was found in MP irrespective of the extent of PVD. Alpha-SMA labeling mainly presented in MP with incomplete PVD and in VMTS. Simultaneous antibody labeling included GFAP/CD45, GFAP/CD163, CD163/CD45, and CD163/α-SMA. Conclusions. Hyalocytes constitute a major cell type of epiretinal cell proliferation in eyes with MP and VMTS. Glial cells, notably retinal Müller cells, are involved as well. It appears that transdifferentiation of cells in vitreomacular traction might be more frequent than previously thought and that those cells possess even more different immunocytochemical properties than expected.
