Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Melanye “Dr. Mac.” Maclin joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the serious health risks associated with hair relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic braids—particularly among Black women. Drawing from over 25 years of research and patient experience, she explains how chemicals used in these products absorb through the scalp, disrupt hormones, and significantly increase the risks of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, early puberty, fibroids, and infertility. The conversation also highlights systemic resistance from the beauty industry, government agencies, and even consumers themselves—primarily due to financial incentives and lack of awareness. Dr. Mac advocates for safer hair practices, increased education, and protective measures to reduce exposure. She also discusses her pioneering internal hair‑health supplements, Bella Nutri, for women (2004) and men (2008), and how she helped introduce the U.S. market to nutritional hair support long before it was mainstream. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: 1. Educate listeners about the hidden health dangers …of chemical hair treatments including relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic hair containing benzene. 2. Advocate for informed hair‑care decisions Dr. Mac wants women—especially Black women—to understand how beauty practices impact long‑term health. 3. Encourage the beauty industry to adopt safety protocols Such as scalp protection, warning labels, and honest communication about risks. 4. Highlight Dr. Mac’s work and products Including her Bella Nutri supplements and educational platforms (Ask Dr. Mac). 5. Empower parents to protect children By avoiding chemical treatments on young girls whose bodies are especially vulnerable. Key Takeaways 1. Chemical relaxers and permanent hair dyes are strongly linked to increased cancer risks. Permanent dyes raise the risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Black women exhibit a 45% increased risk of breast cancer when using permanent dyes. Combining dyes with relaxers significantly compounds the danger. 2. The danger comes from chemical absorption into the scalp. Relaxer chemicals include sodium, calcium, guanine, and lithium hydroxide. These chemicals burn through the scalp, entering the bloodstream and disrupting hormones, leading to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, and cancer. 3. Synthetic braiding hair contains benzene—a carcinogen. Benzene exposure affects both the stylist and the client. Risks include lung cancer and leukemia. 4. The beauty industry resists change because of profit. Salons rarely display warnings because “it affects business.” The relaxer–damage→hair‑loss→extensions cycle creates a lucrative revenue loop. 5. Children are especially vulnerable to chemical exposure. Relaxers on children under 10 can cause: early puberty fibroids infertility early hysterectomies increased cancer risk Dr. Mac advises never relaxing a child’s hair, but if done, the product must stay on no more than 5–10 minutes with complete scalp protection. 6. Scalp protection is essential for anyone still using relaxers. Use petroleum jelly over the entire scalp, not just the hairline. This reduces chemical absorption during both application and rinsing. 7. Dr. Mac pioneered the U.S. hair‑supplement industry. Developed Bella Nutri after research with a Finnish company (Scalp). Initially dismissed as a “witch doctor,” but now the hair‑supplement market is mainstream. 8. She refuses to participate in relaxer‑related lawsuits. Because she has warned people for 20+ years, she cannot ethically testify for those who ignored repeated warnings. Notable Quotes On the impact of chemicals: “The chemicals burn through the scalp… getting into the main bloodstream and causing hormone disruption.” On the increased cancer risk: “African‑Americans have a more than 45% increased risk when we use permanent hair dyes.” On synthetic braids: “As long as that synthetic hair is on her head, she is breathing in benzene.” On industry pushback: “People are about the green‑eyed devil called money.” On relaxing children’s hair: “Hopefully a mother doesn’t take her child to get a relaxer.” “Hair chemicals can lead to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, even hysterectomies before age 40.” On the vicious cycle of damage and profit: “It’s a 360‑degree money‑making cycle.” On caring more than her patients: “I feel like I’m caring more about someone’s health than they are caring about their own.” On pioneering supplements: “Hair and skin are internal organs—they manifest externally.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Turf Zone Podcast. This episode features the article “Give Yourself the Edge in Managing Sedges in Lawns and Landscape Beds” written by Jeffrey Derr and Adam Nichols. Sedges are major weed problems in turf and landscape ornamentals, as well as in crop production, including container- and field-grown nursery crops. Although there are annual sedges that occasionally are problems in these areas, the major problems are perennial species. Having an understanding of their taxonomy and life cycle will aid you when developing a control program. Sedges are monocots, which mean they have one seed leaf when they germinate. Grasses are also monocots, but they are in a different plant family, the Poaceae, as opposed to sedges, which are in the Cyperaceae or sedge family. So do not use the term “nutgrass” when referring to yellow nutsedge. Yellow nutsedge is not a grass and it is confusing to use a term that implies that it is a grass. You may ask “But what about broomsedge – isn't that a grass?” Well, yes, but that is a topic for another article! The distinction between grasses and sedges is especially important when discussing chemical control. Most of our sedge herbicides do not affect grasses and most of our grass herbicides do not affect sedges. Here is some help in separating grasses from sedges. Grasses have round or flattened stems, generally have a ligule (either a membrane or fringe of hairs where the leaf blade meets the leaf sheath), and have two-ranked leaves (leaves appear from 2 sides of the stem). Sedges have triangular stems (sedges have edges), lack a ligule, and the leaves are three-ranked (come out from the three sides of the stem. When I taught the weed science class, I would slip in yellow nutsedge when we had the lab on grass identification to see what the students would do with it. They obviously struggled with it when trying to fit yellow nutsedge into a grass key. Major species: The most common sedge infesting turfgrass and ornamental beds is yellow nutsedge, a weed that occurs throughout Virginia. Yellow nutsedge is a perennial that spreads primarily through vegetative means. Rhizomes produce roughly ¼ to ½ inch long, tan to brown tubers in summer and fall. These tubers overwinter and then send up new shoots in the spring. Above-ground parts of the plant die with a killing frost. Although yellow nutsedge will produce seed, it does not appear to be an important factor in the spread of this species. Leaves are shiny and yellowish-green. Purple nutsedge, similar to yellow nutsedge, also is an herbaceous perennial that spreads by tubers and rhizomes. Leaves of purple nutsedge tend to be darker green than yellow nutsedge. The tubers are the same size as those for yellow nutsedge but are dark brown or purplish brown. Tubers of purple nutsedge have a bitter taste while those of yellow nutsedge have a sweet or almond-like flavor. Purple nutsedge has a purplish-brown seedhead, while yellow nutsedge has a, well, yellow seedhead. In a turf situation, however, you probably will not see the seedheads of either species, especially in frequently mowed sites, but seedheads would develop in ornamental beds if uncontrolled. Yellow nutsedge leaf blades have a long, sharp point while purple nutsedge has a blunt tip. However, this also may not be apparent in a mowed situation. Why is it important to tell yellow from purple nutsedge? Certain herbicides, such as bentazon, mesotrione, metolachlor, and sulfentrazone, are more effective on yellow than purple nutsedge, while other products work well on both species, such as halosulfuron. Purple nutsedge is predominantly a problem in southeastern Virginia. Purple nutsedge is found predominantly in the South while yellow nutsedge is found essentially throughout the contiguous 48 states. Another sedge group that has spread rapidly in Virginia is kyllinga. To me, kyllinga in bloom looks like a green ball about the size of a pea sitting on 3 green leaves. There are both annual and perennial kyllinga species but the ones of greatest concern are the perennials green and false green kyllinga. Kyllingas will also have a triangular stem but lack the tubers formed by yellow and purple nutsedge. The perennial kyllingas spread not only by rhizomes, but readily by seed, probably a factor in their spread, as they can flower below mowing height. We grow false green kyllinga by seed for our trials. Chemical control for kyllingas is very similar to that for yellow nutsedge. The primary annual sedge that I have seen in turf areas is compressed sedge. Rice flatsedge is an occasional annual weed in container production. We had fragrant flatsedge come in as a contaminant in plants I purchased from down south and it has been the most aggressive grower of the sedge species we have evaluated. These three sedge species spread strictly by seed and thus are easier to control than perennial sedges. Factors favoring growth of sedges Sedges grow best in warm temperatures, moist soil, and high sunlight. I usually do not see yellow nutsedge emergence until early April or later, depending on how quickly it warms up in the spring. Yellow nutsedge grows best in May through August, similar to that for bermudagrass. The sedges are not necessarily that much more competitive than turf species, but they can rapidly take advantage of any openings in the canopy. I always remember one of our former students who was working on halosulfuron when it was being developed. He had trouble getting yellow nutsedge to establish in his Kentucky bluegrass plots but where he killed out the bluegrass for his plot borders, he saw a nice straight line of yellow nutsedge in the killed strips! One problem with managing yellow and purple nutsedge is tuber dormancy. Not all tubers send up shoots at the same time. Some shoots will emerge in May, some in June, and some in July. Also, some tubers may not send up shoots until the following year or two. Most tubers are viable for only 2 to 3 years, but some can remain viable for 10 years or longer. So if one has an established stand of yellow or purple nutsedge they wish to eradicate, it will be a multi-year project. Even if you achieve 100% control in a season, you probably will see nutsedge emergence the following year. Cultural Control of sedges Maintaining a thick stand of turf will help restrict the development of sedges, especially in the spring when nutsedge shoots emerge from the underground tubers. Overseed and fertilize cool season grasses in the fall to have a thick, competitive stand when sedges resume growth in late spring. Avoid scalping turf as this opens up the canopy for invasion by sedges, crabgrass, and other weed species. Control insect and disease pests to prevent thinning of the turf. Avoid overwatering turf and ensure proper soil drainage to prevent excessively wet soil. Monitor new sod or ornamental plant installations to insure that nutsedge or kyllinga has not hitchhiked along with the sod or nursery plants. Avoid any stress that adversely affects turf growth. I always think of a turf situation I was asked to investigate. They had applied fluazifop in a backpack sprayer for bermudagrass control in tall fescue. Not only was the bermudagrass controlled, so was the tall fescue. It is hard to determine a spot-treatment rate of fluazifop that will be safe in tall fescue. They reseeded and ran the irrigation frequently in summer, which led to an excellent stand of compressed sedge. The cause of the sedge infestation was the initial turf damage caused by improper herbicide application. Yellow nutsedge is hard to control using hand weeding as plants can break at the soil line, leaving the underground tubers and rhizomes. Tilling can spread the tubers, increasing the area of infestation. Chemical control of yellow nutsedge Learn the active ingredients listed in Tables 1 and 2 (available in the May/June 2026 issue of Virginia Turfgrass Journal on www.theturfzone.com). Some of these herbicides are sold in combination with other herbicides but I have only listed single active ingredient products that we have tested. There are a number of combination products that contain a sedge herbicide but also other herbicides for either broadleaf or grass control. For example, Sublime contains mesotrione, triclopyr, and dicamba. If you know the active ingredients, you will have a good idea as to how that combination product will perform. 1). Preemergence control in turf I frequently am asked about the availability of preemergence herbicides for nutsedge control. Actually, I prefer postemergence applications for yellow nutsedge control since this weed usually occurs in patches and thus fits well into spot-treatment programs. The problem with a preemergence application is that one would have to treat the entire lawn since the chemical must be applied prior to sedge emergence, unless one mapped out the previous year exactly where nutsedge was growing in a turf stand. The other reason favoring postemergence control of nutsedge is that few preemergence chemicals are available for turf use. Some postemergence herbicides, such as halosulfuron (SedgeHammer, Prosedge), mesotrione (Tenacity), and sulfentrazone (Dismiss) do have a degree of preemergence control, but I consider that a bonus following postemergence application. In bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, and certain other warm-season grasses, there are registrations for Pennant Magnum, Tower, and FreeHand for residual control of yellow nutsedge. These herbicides are much more effective on yellow compared to purple nutsedge and have generally short residual control. Also, we have seen delayed greenup with this group. However, we do use these products in ornamental beds. 2). Preemergence control in ornamental beds We do focus on preemergence herbicides in ornamental beds due to general lack of selective postemergence herbicides for overtop use. Products to consider include metolachlor (Pennant Magnum) and dimethenamid (Tower), both of which are oil-based formulations and thus should be applied as a directed spray, as well as the granular herbicide FreeHand, which contains dimethenamid plus pendimethalin. FreeHand is probably a good choice for most landscape bed situations. It can be applied to certain annual flowers (but not begonia) and a wide range of perennials and woody ornamentals. Apply in March or in early April in eastern Virginia and a little later in western parts of the state. Reapply about 6 or 8 weeks later to extend the length of yellow nutsedge control. 3). Postemergence control in cool-season turf I have divided up the herbicides to ones registered for use in tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and perennial ryegrass and those registered for use in bermudagrass and zoysiagrass. I have listed the trade names we have tested. You may find other trade names for these active ingredients. The two tables cover the primary treatments available for sedge control in turfgrass. The same herbicides that are used for yellow nutsedge control in turf are utilized for kyllinga control. MSMA is not included as it is only registered for use in golf, sod production, and highway rights-of-way. Bentazon and sulfentrazone are the fastest-acting chemicals in this group, probably because they predominantly have a contact action. Injury symptoms in yellow and purple nutsedge can be seen within a few days of application, especially when applied under warm conditions. Repeat applications will generally be needed sooner for bentazon than the other products. For example, a second application of bentazon is generally made one to two weeks after the first one. We have found pyrimisulfan to be the slowest acting herbicide in this group of chemicals, with halosulfuron and imazosulfuron intermediate in speed of action. Of the pyrimisulfan products, we have seen better yellow nutsedge control with Arkon compared to Vexis. One benefit of mesotrione is that it can be used at seeding time or on young stands of cool-season turf. The other products generally can only be used on established turf. We did a trial last year looking at the impact of simulated rainfall on yellow nutsedge control in our rain-out shelter. When we irrigated one hour or one day after a sulfentrazone application, we saw effective yellow nutsedge control, but control decreased when irrigation was withheld until one or two weeks after application. It appears root uptake is an important component of sulfentrazone's activity against yellow nutsedge and thus rain or irrigation is needed within a week after application. Halosulfuron gave excellent yellow nutsedge control, even when irrigation was withheld until one or two weeks after application. We often grow yellow nutsedge in containers for control trials to supplement what we do in the field. In one container trial, we collected yellow nutsedge tubers that formed after herbicide application. Tubers were much smaller when plants were treated with halosulfuron or pyrimisulfan compared to sulfentrazone. This should result in less competitive yellow nutsedge in subsequent growing seasons. Bentazon and sulfentrazone are much more effective on yellow compared to purple nutsedge. This shows why we need to identify these two species. One needs to address purple nutsedge differently than yellow nutsedge. Halosulfuron and imazosulfuron are equally effective on yellow and purple nutsedge. Work by other researchers suggests imazosulfuron is the most effective treatment for false green kyllinga (Dr. Matthew Elmore, Rutgers University). We also have seen good control of false green kyllinga with imazosulfuron. Sulfentrazone is sold in combination with other herbicides, such as with prodiamine under the trade name Echelon. Sulfentrazone is a component of combination herbicides Surge, Q4Plus, and Avenue South but the concentration of sulfentrazone is lower than in Dismiss, resulting in more suppression than control of yellow nutsedge. One will generally add some type of adjuvant to these postemergence herbicides. Nonionic surfactants are generally recommended for most of these chemicals but check the label for instructions on adjuvant addition. Addition of a methylated seed soil or crop oil concentrate may increase toxicity of certain chemicals to nutsedge, but also may increase the potential for crop injury especially under hot, humid conditions. Read the product label for specific directions on adjuvant use. Postemergence control in bermudagrass and zoysia A number of the products are the same for warm-season grasses as for cool-season grasses, but mesotrione is not listed as it injures bermudagrass. Certain products used for removing cool-season grasses from warm-season turf are effective for controlling sedges are added, including flazasulfuron, sulfosulfuron, and trifloxysulfuron. Aethon was added to the warm-season list but not cool-season turf as it also contains penoxsulam, which can injure tall fescue. Along with pyrimisulfuron, imazaquin, flazasulfuron, sulfosulfuron, and trifloxysulfuron are slower-acting herbicides since they are systemic in plants and travel to the growing points. Imazaquin has been less effective in our trials for yellow nutsedge control than the other herbicides listed. Flazasulfuron, halosulfuron, sulfosulfuron, and trifloxysulfuron will control both yellow and purple nutsedge. Postemergence nutsedge control in ornamentals Around trees and shrubs, directed sprays of bentazon, halosulfuron, or sulfentrazone can be applied for yellow nutsedge control. Minimize contact with the leaves of the ornamentals. We do not have selective herbicides that can be sprayed overtop of ornamentals plants for sedge control. Nonselective herbicides, such as diquat, glufosinate, or glyphosate can be applied for sedge control if kept totally off ornamental plant leaves. A common question I receive is how to control emerged yellow nutsedge in liriope beds. We have seen injury from bentazon and halosulfuron, especially in variegated types, although plants outgrew the damage, and we observed reduced flowering from halosulfuron. Best to utilize preemergence applications of FreeHand to minimize the need for hand weeding or postemergence applications.

June is World Infertility Awareness Month, a month dedicated to the one in six couples worldwide who are quietly navigating the heartbreak, questions, and uncertainty that go along with the fertility journey. A short while ago, I had the privilege of launching my book, Your Fertility Blueprint. That day, I gave a presentation where I shared everything I wish I had known earlier in my own journey, including the framework that can change how we understand fertility, the hope that often gets lost along the way, and the truth that you are far more than your unexplained infertility diagnosis. I truly believe that something unexplained is simply something uninvestigated. In honour of Infertility Awareness Month, I'm sharing that presentation with you today. Whether you're in the thick of it yourself, supporting someone who is, or you simply want to understand the infertility experience better, this episode is for you.

Hoy os traemos una de las bandas de Rock más importantes de la década de los 00s, grupo que marcó a toda una generación, sentó las bases y popularizó un movimiento que fue amado por muchos y odiado por otros tantos, que es el Emo. My Chemical Romance es una banda que se forma en el año 2002 en Nueva Jersey, Estados Unidos. Actualmente los miembros son Gerard Way como vocalista y líder de la banda, Matt Way, su hermano, al bajo, Frank Iero a los coros y la guitarra rítmica y Ray ToroToro como guitarrista principal y a los coros. Tienen una gran inspiración en bandas de Emo y Post-Hardcore como Thursday, Fugazi, The Used, Glassjaw pero por otra parte también de bandas y artistas clásicos como Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Queen o The Smashing Pumpkins que fue la banda que más les inspiró en sus sonido de Rock Alternativo. Su primer álbum 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' fue publicado en el año 2002, y los colocó en la escena underground del emo siendo el disco con el sonido más crudo y violento de la banda. En 2004 lanzan 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge', un disco más melódico y con letras sobre adolescencia y que marcó el devenir de la banda. Le sigue el disco del que os hablamos hoy que es T'he Black Parade' del año 2006, donde la banda alcanzó éxito internacional. Y su discografía principal cierra, hasta el momento con 'Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys' del año 2010. En el año 2015 la banda entra en un periodo de hiatus y retorna en 2022 con nuevos conciertos y material.

The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. The Truth about American Police is often far different from what appears in headlines, television dramas, or social media debates. Behind every badge are men and women who routinely face violence, uncertainty, and life-threatening situations that most citizens never experience. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In a powerful episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, retired DEA agent, former Omaha Police Department officer, and military veteran Charles Noonan pulls back the curtain on the realities of policing, the murder of a fellow officer, and the growing danger posed by modern illegal drug labs. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #Free #Podcast #Radio The episode is available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and other major platforms as a Free Podcast. The Murder of Omaha Police Officer Jimmy Wilson Before joining the Drug Enforcement Administration, Charles Noonan served with the Omaha Police Department alongside Officer Jimmy Wilson. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Wilson was more than a coworker. He was a close friend. On a tragic evening, Officer Wilson conducted what appeared to be a routine traffic stop involving a van displaying fictitious license plates. At approximately 8:00 p.m., he radioed his location and approached the vehicle. Moments later, the situation turned deadly. Two members of an eight-person gang exited the van and opened fire with an AK-47 rifle and a 9mm semi-automatic pistol. Officer Wilson was killed while still seated in his patrol vehicle, his seatbelt fastened and his microphone still in his hand. The suspects ranged in age from 14 to 20 years old. One gang member, affiliated with the Bloods street gang, was later convicted of First Degree Murder. Evidence showed he had told fellow gang members that he was "not going back to jail" before opening fire. He was sentenced to life imprisonment along with additional prison time for firearm charges. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. The show is inspiring audiences through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, iHeartradio and and many Podcast platforms. Officer Wilson had served with the Omaha Police Department for only 16 months. He was survived by his fiancée and parents. Policing ran deep in his family, as both his father and grandfather had also served with the department. For Noonan, the loss remains a stark reminder of the risks officers face every day. The Truth About American Police Stories like Jimmy Wilson's illustrate a reality many people never see. Most police officers begin every shift knowing they may encounter armed criminals, violent offenders, or dangerous situations with little warning. What appears to be a simple traffic stop can become a deadly encounter within seconds. Noonan explains that officer survival often comes down to preparation, awareness, and training. Yet even the most experienced officers can find themselves facing circumstances beyond their control. His decades in law enforcement provided firsthand insight into the sacrifices officers and their families make throughout their careers. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. From Street Cop to DEA Expert Following his service with the Omaha Police Department, Noonan transitioned to the Drug Enforcement Administration, where he became an expert in clandestine drug laboratories and hazardous drug environments. Over the years, he investigated some of the most dangerous illegal drug operations in the United States and abroad. What surprised many people was where some of these labs were found. During the podcast, Noonan discusses two separate drug lab investigations that took place inside luxury condominiums in South Florida. The locations challenged common assumptions that illegal drug labs only exist in remote rural areas or abandoned buildings. In reality, dangerous criminal operations can be hidden in upscale neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and residential communities. The Modern Danger of Drug Labs The nature of illegal drug manufacturing has changed dramatically over the past decade. Traditional methamphetamine laboratories have declined, but the threat has evolved into something potentially even more dangerous. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Today's criminal organizations increasingly focus on synthetic drugs such as fentanyl and counterfeit prescription pills. Rather than operating large chemical labs, many criminal groups now utilize pill-pressing operations that transform fentanyl and other substances into fake medications that closely resemble legitimate pharmaceutical products. These operations create enormous risks for both law enforcement and the public. According to Noonan, many modern drug labs involve: Fentanyl production and packaging Counterfeit pill manufacturing Industrial pill pressing operations Toxic chemical storage Hazardous waste contamination Explosive chemical reactions Even microscopic amounts of fentanyl can create significant exposure concerns for first responders. Why Drug Labs Are So Dangerous The danger extends far beyond the criminals operating these facilities. Drug labs often contain volatile chemicals capable of causing explosions, fires, and long-term contamination. First responders entering these environments must be prepared for chemical exposure, toxic fumes, and unknown substances. The Truth About American Police and the Danger of Drug Labs: He Shares What Most People Never See. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Noonan has spent years training officers and emergency personnel to recognize and safely respond to these threats. Many people are surprised to learn that drug labs frequently exist in ordinary neighborhoods. Warning signs may include: Blacked-out windows Strong chemical odors Unusual foot or vehicle traffic Excessive security measures Frequent short-term visitors Chemical containers or waste materials Authorities advise residents never to investigate suspected drug labs themselves. Instead, they should immediately contact local law enforcement or federal authorities. A Career Dedicated to Training and Officer Safety With 37 years of military and law enforcement experience, Charles Noonan has become a respected trainer throughout the United States and internationally. He has worked undercover in five countries and provides instruction in both English and Spanish. His training expertise includes: Chemical and Biological Hazard Operations Fentanyl Response and Awareness Terrorism and Narco-Terrorism Investigations Undercover Operations Management Officer Survival Strategies Active Shooter Response Criminal Intelligence Gathering Cryptocurrency and Dark Web Investigations Ballistic Shield Operations Interview and Interrogation Techniques Vehicle Arrest and Containment Operations Law Enforcement Leadership and Ethics Through his work with HazMat Tactical Solutions International and the University of Miami Gordon Center, Noonan continues helping prepare officers for the evolving threats facing law enforcement.

A research team through the group Physicians for Human Rights combed through social media and news reports to understand exactly what happened during protests against federal immigration agents in the Twin Cities and other parts of the country last winter. Specifically, the researchers looked at the weapons law enforcement used on crowds. Chemical irritants and projectiles fall into a category called crowd control weapons or less lethal weapons. They come in a variety of products with different mechanisms, and the researchers found that some law enforcement have used them in ways that are especially dangerous to the health and safety of protesters, journalists and passersby. Scott Reynhout worked on the project with Physicians for Human Rights, and he joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about it.
Send us Fan MailOn this episode, we continue our review of the high-stakes incident and evacuation in Orange County, CA over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Some 50,000 residents were forced to flee their homes as a runaway thermal reaction built pressure and risk inside a local manufacturing facility.We're joined by journalist Alexandra Datig, who covers news issues in Southern California, and also runs her own news site, FrontPageIndex.com. Alex was on the scene as emergency responders worked to stop the runaway reaction taking place in a chemical storage tank located not far from the famed vacation destination of Disneyland. How well did emergency managers communicate the threats and requested evacuations to a population of 50,000 people? Alex walks us through her assessment of the communications response as she saw it over the course of six days.We take a detailed look at the real communications choices that helped keep people calm while responders worked through uncertainty, rising temperatures, and fears of a potential explosion tied to methyl methacrylate (MMA). Several community meetings were held during the incident. Did the responsible company, GKN Aerospace, participate in those meetings with local residents? Should they? We discuss those issues, along with the threats and upsides, of participating in a community meeting.You can reach Alex Datig at FrontPageIndex.com. #orangecounty #ocfa #emergencymanagement #crisiscommunication #gardengrove Support the showWe'd love to hear from you.

Most weight loss medications, like GLP-1s, deliver incredible results—initially. But what happens after you stop taking them? And are the long-term risks worth the short-term gains? Jared Moon and Dave unpack the surprising truth behind these powerful drugs, based on a groundbreaking systematic review of over 9,000 participants.Imagine losing 20, 50, even 100 pounds with medication that works on a hormonal level—yet facing the harsh reality that 50% of users quit within a year, and weight often rebounds rapidly after. This episode dives into the science, revealing that weight regain can occur at an alarming rate—around 0.4 kilograms monthly—and benefits like improved blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol vanish within a year of stopping.You'll discover: the real reasons behind why people quit GLP-1s, breaking myths about discipline and desire; why chemical rebound plays a bigger role than willpower; and how short-term medication use might actually hinder long-term success if not paired with sustainable habits. We break down the critical importance of resistance training to preserve muscle, boost metabolism, and fight rebound, plus practical strategies like tapering off medications and structured coaching that could make the difference.The stakes are high—continued reliance without behavioral change risks health setbacks, muscle loss, and even diminished confidence. With these drugs working on a hormonal level, understanding their limitations and the importance of a comprehensive approach becomes essential. Are medications just a shortcut, or do they come with long-term costs? The insights from this episode could reshape how you or your loved ones approach weight management and health.Whether you're considering GLP-1 therapy, battling weight regain, or just curious about the future of fat loss solutions, this episode arms you with the facts you need to make informed decisions. It's not just about losing weight—it's about understanding the chemical and behavioral hurdles that come with it. Prepare to challenge your assumptions and take control of your health journey—long-term success depends on more than just quick fixes.

Episode DescriptionWhat happens when a single industrial chemical tank threatens an entire community?In this episode of the Emergency Management Network Podcast, Todd DeVoe and Andrew Boyarsky examine the Garden Grove hazardous materials incident that led to the evacuation of approximately 50,000 residents and businesses. What began as a concern over an overheating tank containing methyl methacrylate (MMA) quickly escalated into one of Southern California's most significant precautionary evacuations in recent memory.Todd and Andrew break down the incident from an emergency management perspective, discussing the decision-making process behind large-scale evacuations, the challenges of public messaging during uncertain situations, and the realities of managing low-probability, high-consequence events. They also explore what this event reveals about industrial hazards in urban environments and how emergency managers can better prepare their communities for complex technological disasters.This conversation is not about assigning blame. It is about understanding risk, learning from real-world events, and strengthening preparedness before the next incident occurs.In This EpisodeUnderstanding the Incident* What happened in Garden Grove?* The role of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and why it created concern.* How emergency officials assessed the threat.* Why was a precautionary evacuation ordered?The Emergency Management Perspective* Decision-making under uncertainty.* Balancing public safety against disruption.* The importance of situational awareness and intelligence gathering.* Working with fire, law enforcement, public health, and industry partners.Evacuating 50,000 People* Challenges of moving large populations quickly.* Traffic management and public compliance.* Protecting vulnerable populations and special needs residents.* Shelter and mass care considerations.Public Information and Risk Communication* Communicating complex hazards to the public.* Managing rumors and misinformation.* Building trust during rapidly evolving incidents.* The role of social media and traditional media.Lessons for Emergency Managers* Planning for industrial and hazardous materials incidents.* Reviewing evacuation zones and protective action strategies.* Strengthening public-private partnerships.* Incorporating technological hazards into emergency operations plans.* Training for events that are unlikely but potentially catastrophic.Looking Ahead* What communities can learn from Garden Grove.* Emerging risks associated with industrial facilities in urban areas.* Building resilience through planning, exercises, and partnerships.* Why preparedness remains a community-wide responsibility.Key Takeaways* Rare events still require planning.* Protective actions must be based on available information, not perfect information.* Effective risk communication can be as important as operational response.* Strong relationships between emergency managers, fire agencies, law enforcement, and private industry are essential.* The Garden Grove incident serves as a reminder that technological disasters can have community-wide consequences.About the HostsTodd DeVoe, CEM, is the Editor-in-Chief of The Emergency Management Network, Emergency Management Coordinator for the City of Inglewood, educator, author, and IAEM-USA leader.Andrew Boyarsky is a veteran emergency management professional and co-host of the EMN Podcast, bringing practical insight and operational experience to discussions on disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience.Tags#EmergencyManagement #HazMat #GardenGrove #PublicSafety #EmergencyPreparedness #RiskCommunication #DisasterManagement #CommunityResilience #HazardousMaterials #EMNPodcast #ToddDeVoe #AndrewBoyarsky #EvacuationPlanning #CrisisLeadership #WholeCommunityApproach This is a public episode.

(May 27, 2026) Industry was warned for years about chemical ‘runaway’ dangers… then came near-catastrophe in Orange County. ‘I’ve never felt poor before’: Inflation and higher gas prices are stretching workers to their limits. Downtown Los Angeles businesses demand attention to crime from the mayor’s race. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Early Tuesday morning, a chemical tank ruptured at a paper mill in Southwest Washington, killing at least two people and injuring eight more. At least nine more people are still unaccounted for as of Wednesday morning. Hundreds of community members held a vigil Tuesday evening to honor those affected by the tragedy. Recovery efforts were suspended yesterday evening due to the ongoing threat of corrosive chemicals at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company. We’ll hear from state Sen. Jeff Wilson from Washington’s 19th Legislative District, which covers Longview. Wilson grew up in Longview and ran a private sector waste management firm before going into politics. He’ll share his experience of working as an environmental cleanup contractor at the Longview paper mill over the years
The fastest way to get hurt on a pool route is to treat “routine” like it means “safe.” We're talking about the real hazards that show up behind the gate, the ones that don't always look dangerous until the moment they are: the quiet dog watching you work, the safety net that has to be re-tensioned just right, the open gate you swear you'll close “in a second.” I share the practical rules I use to reduce risk for myself and for any employee I'm training, because a single injury can take you off the schedule and a single mistake can turn into expensive property damage. We dig into chemical safety from a pool technician's point of view, including why muriatic acid leaks are so destructive, how drips happen off a service cart, and the habits that prevent stains on decks and driveways. Then we get blunt about the non-negotiables: never mix pool chemicals, don't store incompatible products together, and don't ignore how dangerous trichlor fumes can be when you open a chlorinator or when tablets get wet in a bucket. If you've ever caught a harsh “chlorine” smell and felt your lungs react, you already know this is not hypothetical. We also hit electrical safety at the equipment pad, especially old Intermatic timers with missing safety shields that can leave live wires exposed. Wet hands, standing water, and a quick flip of a switch can become a shock in a heartbeat, so we talk about what to look for and what not to touch. I also flag the bigger business picture: liability, training, and why insurance is worth serious consideration. If this helps you think differently about pool service safety, subscribe, share it with a tech you're onboarding, and leave a review so more pool pros can find it. What safety rule has saved you the most trouble on your route?We walk through real-world pool service safety risks that can hurt techs, damage property, and create liability for your business. We share practical rules for pets, pool barriers, chemicals, and electrical gear so you can train employees and protect yourself on every stop. • treating backyard dogs as a serious jobsite hazard • avoiding accounts where pets cannot be reliably secured • understanding why pool safety nets add time and liability • building the habit of closing and latching every gate • preventing muriatic acid spills with better transport and tight lids • securing all chemicals in the truck and on the cart • wearing nitrile gloves to reduce chemical burns • never mixing pool chemicals and separating incompatible products • respecting trichlor fumes from chlorinators and wet tablet buckets • watching for missing safety shields on Intermatic timers to avoid shocks • considering liability insurance to reduce risk exposure Are you a pool service pro looking to take your business to the next level?
