Podcasts about Metre

The next time you pick up a bag of spuds from the supermarket or fill up the car with petrol, you can thank the Treaty of the Metre for the metric system that underpins daily life.The treaty was signed exactly 150 years ago, when delegates from 17 countries gathered on a Parisian spring day to establish a new and standardised way of measuring the world around us.But the metre's inception predates the treaty that bears its name by nearly 100 years. So how did it come about, and how has its definition changed over the centuries?

It's 150 years today since the Metre Convention was signed - a pretty radical initiative at the time that had a massive global impact.

Big Lez makes his long awaited return along with Chaps to review the GREAT win against the Broncos, reminisce on the Rabbitohs Old Boys Day, & reveal a rumoured signing for the Rabbitohs...

John met a “black panther” during his evening dog walks four times in 1996 in Staffordshire. On the first occasion he was confronted directly by the cat at close range. As the predator was poised, there seemed no easy way out.

Proactive's Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the facts' of the latest news from Silver Mines Ltd (ASX:SVL). The company has announced the commencement of drilling at its Elsienora Project, part of the Tuena Gold Project in New South Wales. Located 80 kilometres south of Orange, the project includes multiple gold and silver prospects. Historical exploration highlights include: 29 metres @ 1.53 g/t gold from surface, 8 metres @ 3.14 g/t gold from 30 metres, and 21 metres @ 0.89 g/t gold from 207 metres. Gold mining in the area dates back to the 1860s, with historical production records showing 6,758 ounces of gold from Washington Mine and 2,633 ounces from Victoria Mine. The initial program includes 2,000–3,000 metres of diamond drilling targeting gold and silver, as well as induced polarisation (IP) surveys and reprocessing of historical data. The company will also investigate historical workings and underexplored targets within adjoining licence EL8974. Drilling is expected to begin this quarter, pending statutory approvals. #ProactiveInvestors #SilverMines #ASX #ElsienoraProject #TuenaGoldProject #GoldExploration #SilverExploration #DiamondDrilling #MineralExploration #NSWMining #HistoricMining #ResourceDevelopment #MiningUpdates #ASXStocks #IPSurveys #GeologicalExploration #GoldTargets #SilverTargets #MineralProspects #ExplorationDrilling #MiningNews #JustTheFacts

Cobre Ltd (ASX:CBE) CEO Adam Wooldridge talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest exploration developments at the Ngami Copper Project in Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt. Wooldridge shared details on the 4,800-metre diamond drilling programme aimed at defining resources at the Comet target and exploring new zones. The current focus includes testing an airborne gravity gradient anomaly, which has already revealed compelling mineralisation 7.5 kilometres from the main target area. "This first hole is part of a larger program to explore the potential of our targets, with early results demonstrating the system's size and extensive blue-sky potential," Wooldridge noted. He emphasised that if subsequent results confirm the presence of another system along strike, the project could yield additional significant deposits. Drilling is expected to conclude in March or April 2024, with assay results anticipated in February. These findings will feed into resource modelling to shape future exploration and development strategies.

Ever wonder why some machine shops are thriving while others are shutting their doors? In this episode, we welcome back Manufacturing Happy Hour alumnus Paul Van Metre, Co-Founder of ProShop, to crack open a virtual beer at GRUFF Brewing in Bellingham, Washington. Paul serves up top notch insights on why some machine shops are thriving while others are closing their doors. He explains that some industries are driving the most success right now, including defense, commercial spaces, aerospace, and medical devices.

He also touches on the culture and mindset necessary for successful technology adoption in machine shops, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement, leadership, and humility. In this episode, find out:Why are some machine shops thriving while others are shutting down in 2024? The industries that are booming are in aerospace, medical devices, defense, commercial space and why other industries are struggling in comparison Paul explains how a shop can still succeed even if they're not focused on the top industries by being sales-driven Why shops that have optimized their processes with automation tech are doing so well Paul outlines detailed advice for a shop that might want to pivot industries The moment Paul realized he'd found the secret sauce to growing ProShopWhy Paul believes in giving back to customers, not just to drive sales but to boost value The all-important culture and mindset that a shop that adopts tech has and why “we've always done it this way” is such a dangerous statement Highly regulated industries are more likely to adopt tech to manage compliance and the greater complexity of the business, but what can those in less regulated industries do to adopt a similar approach? Paul explains how he's been busy since his last guest appearance on the show – tripling the value of ProShop thanks to changing the company's goals Why transparency and customer care are the key things that Paul believes are responsible for ProShop's success Paul explains why he finally began a funding round after seven years of bootstrapping the business The benefits of bootstrapping your business like Paul and his advice for those who want to go a similar route Paul shares some backstory on his 2 podcasts and why he keeps one entirely separate from his businessThe biggest benefit of running podcasts for PaulEnjoying the show?

It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“The shops that are thriving the most right now are the ones that are specifically targeting and are really sales-driven into industries that are hot."“This whole concept of transparency and focusing on client success and sharing their stories and celebrating their wins and, what I like to say, the heroes of the economy as they are, I think is a really important part of our growth story.”“You can have the best product in the world and no one's going to buy it if they don't really believe in it and see it and ask if that can be a part of their success as well.”Links & mentions:

Paul Van Metre was the co-founder of a successful machine shop that manufactured custom parts for the aerospace and medical device industries. Over 15 years, they created and improved software to run their entire business, which created huge efficiencies and helped them manage their growth. They sold that business in 2014 to focus on selling their complete software platform, called ProShop, to other forward-thinking machine shops.  ProShop is now one of North America's leading ERP (enterprise resource planning) software platforms for machine shops. The software manages every aspect of a machine shop business, from orders, finances, inventory, and shop floor operations.  The company grew quickly with no outside funding as happy customers spread the word in their industry. Their software company focuses on processes, customer service, and company culture. In 2024, ProShop received a $32 million growth equity investment from Mainsail Partners, which allowed the founders to take money off the table and fund new growth.  Learn more at practicalfounders.com.
