With so many devices around us constantly emitting electromagnetic fields (EMFs), it's understandable to feel a bit uneasy about their possible impact on health. While research on EMFs is ongoing, some people take precautionary steps, like reducing screen time, using wired connections where possible, or simply turning off devices when not in use. Balancing the convenience of technology with potential health considerations can bring a little peace of mind. Being aware and proactive about EMF exposure, even in small ways, might help ease concerns about this unseen aspect of modern life. Aires Tech is a company dedicated to developing innovative solutions that address the growing concerns around electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure.

Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond! Quotes: “We're not just taking the electromagnetic fields (EMF) that come off the devices, which can have a negative impact on your body, and leaving them as they are or blocking them or deflecting them somewhere else. We're taking them and changing them so that they're more bio-friendly.” – Grant “I'm one of those people who is intuitively driven. If I feel strongly about something, I'll do the research and make a decision for myself. However, once I decide on something, it's really hard to explain to someone why I made that choice.'” – Michaela “We live in this technological world, so it's better to adapt rather than try to walk around in a Faraday cage all day and be fearful of it all the time.” – Michaela “The reality is, technology is here to stay. So I think we do a massive disservice to our kids by saying, ‘Hey, you're never going to be able to touch it, never going to be able to use it. Good luck. I hope you're off-grid and fully self-sustaining.'” – Matt Beaudreau Takeaways: Explore ways to reduce EMF exposure in your home and daily life, such as unplugging devices when not in use, using speakerphone, and avoiding clock radios near the bed. Consider incorporating Aires Tech products into your home and school environments to help mitigate the effects of EMFs, especially for vulnerable populations like children. Stay informed about the latest research and developments in EMF science by checking out the "Wave Forward" podcast and blog, which feature in-depth discussions with experts. Advocate for more awareness and precautionary measures regarding EMF exposure, especially in schools and public spaces, to protect the health and well-being of our communities. Approach the topic of EMFs with an open and curious mindset, recognizing that there is still much to be learned, and be willing to experiment with different solutions to find what works best for your individual needs. Conclusion: Taking a proactive, balanced approach to managing EMF exposure is essential in today's tech-driven world. By being mindful of potential risks while embracing the conveniences that technology offers, individuals and communities can make informed choices that support both health and well-being. Prioritizing small adjustments can help reduce exposure without compromising the benefits of modern connectivity. This approach fosters a healthier relationship with technology, ensuring that convenience and safety go hand in hand.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable we discuss the Nashville shooting at Covenant Christian Elementary School that left 3 children and 3 adults dead.  How do we make spiritual sense of things like this?   Why is the media trying to downplay that the shooter, Audrey Hale, is a transgender female identifying as a male?  Are President Joe Biden and the Democrats going to call for more gun restriction laws and an "assault weapons ban?"  Why do Democrats politicize shootings like this?  Should teachers and staff be allowed to conceal carry?  How DO we make schools safer?

Ben Leder and Sgt. Clayton discuss the recent Nashville School Shooting, and if arming school staff should be part of the solution.

On today's episode of School Safety Today, Michelle Dawn Mooney chatted with Mike Matranga, former Director of Safety and Security at Texas City ISD and CEO of M6 Global. They talked about how situational awareness skills can be used to implement early intervention measures, how schoolwide training is critical for identifying and providing mental health resources, and the importance of practicing emergency response plans with all stakeholders.Honing situational awareness skills is key to enacting a multi-faceted approach to identifying concerning behaviors in order to prevent harm to self or others. It is critical now more than ever to move from being reactive to proactive in identifying these behaviors and having the resources to refer and help those in need. All roles in the school community have this collective responsibility – a well-trained and informed staff, parent groups, and student groups are key.When it comes to emergency response planning, it is not enough to just have a plan. Schools need to coordinate and rehearse the plan. And no single department or role should the plan fall to; all stakeholder groups need to come together to develop, review, and practice.Mike Matranga is the founder and CEO of M6 Global Defense Group, an elected Texas City Independent School District (TCISD) Board Member at Large, and a former TCISD Executive Director of Security and School Safety with a demonstrated history of working in multiple facets of the security and investigations industry. He has been featured in several national publications, including the Wall Street Journal, WIRED Magazine, and the Security Magazine cover story in March 2020. He was recently ranked No. 5 in the nation for his unique school security planning and operational experience using technology and human behavior techniques to thwart mass attacks. Matranga has been a pioneer in school-based security practices, even leading to legislation being written per his recommendations.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue on Abbott Inauguration

Light content warning! We are discussing bomb threats and active shooters with my expert today. We aren't graphic or unnecessarily crude, but the topic and conversation can be a bit intense for some members of the audience. Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. I'm your host as always Colton Petry. My guest today is Daniel Dluzneski. Daniel worked with the Secret Service for 24 years! Let's just acknowledge the incredible service record on that alone. He was part of the team that protects the highest ranking member of our government for over two straight decades! From all accounts the Secret Service is one of the most particular in the world when it comes to picking their officers. Not only that, but he was part of the bomb unit, partnered with a service dog, and directly responsible for the safety of the Presidents, Vice Presidents, and their families. I'd have thought the man would want a break after all that, but instead he took his talents over to the public school systems to ensure our nations children were being better protected at a time when it's all we hear about on the news. Daniel has now written a book called "The First Five Minutes: A school shooting survival guide for administrators and teachers" and is trying to get everyone involved in the conversations that can reduce tragedies anywhere in the world. Let's hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. Do you feel more educated after this episode of the Just Dumb Enough Podcast?

The Watauga County Board of Education can now achieve their goal to place a school resource officer in every school in the district after receiving a grant from the North Carolina Center for Safer Schools. According to the Watauga Democrat, over the years, the school board has made it a priority to increase the number of SRO's in Watauga schools. Superintendent Scott Elliot said he was proud of Watauga County Schools staff for working continually to find sources of funding. Elliot said “With the latest grant, each school will now be able to have a full time officer each day.” The grant provides enough funding to cover two-thirds of the cost per officer. The county commissioners fund the difference. In North Carolina news, a Forsyth County judge sealed a search warrant that Winston-Salem police detectives executed on a former nurse's house who has been accused of murdering two of his patients and attempting to kill a third. According to the Winston-Salem Journal, A search warrant for Jonathan Hayes' home was obtained on October 25. Judge Gregory Hayes signed an order on Wednesday to seal it due to concerns from the District Attorney's office over the integrity of the investigation being jeopardized if the warrant was made public. According to DA Jim O'Neill, Hayes administered a near-lethal dose of insulin to a 63-year-old patient and a lethal dose of insulin to a 60-year-old patient and a 61-year-old patient who died within days. Jonathan Hayes is being held without bond in Forsyth County Jail. His next court date is November 10. On Wednesday, a federal appellate court said the Miss United States of America pageant has a First Amendment right to exclude a transgender woman from competing. According to the Associated Press, the court said a transgender woman competing could interfere with the pageant's message stating “what it means to be a girl.” The ruling is in response to a lawsuit filed by Anita Green who said the pageant violated an Oregon state anti-discrimination law when they barred her from competing in 2019. The 9th circuit's three-judge panel voted 2-1 in favor of the organization. After a lower court sided with the pageant last year, Green said the case raised awareness about discrimination against transgender people within the pageant circuit.

Congressman Roger Williams joined the WBAP Morning News to discuss infrastructure issues across the country, as well as a new bill he's introduced call the "Safer Schools" act.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After the Chibok schoolgirls abduction in 2014, the Federal Government launched the safer school's initiative to better protect students in school. Despite this laudable achievement, several students have been kidnapped from schools ever since. Many have wondered why the problem persist and why would students be the prime targets. This heightened doubts about the feasibility of the initiative coupled with several allegations that have been made about the management of funds earmarked for the initiative. The safer school initiative had Borno, Adamawa and Yobe as pilot states because of their peculiar security challenges and experiences. Years after, other states such as Kaduna, Niger and Zamfara have had their fair share of insecurity leading to the kidnap of students from schools while Plateau State have also had record of security breach within school community with various sad stories. On this edition of the programme, we shall be gleaning on basic learnings from the safe school initiative that private and community schools can adapt to ensure that schools are kept in the face of increasing insecurity across the country. The initiative has the following practical steps to keep students safe in school; A. School-based interventions B. Community interventions to protect schools; and C. Special measures for at-risk populations. This comes with various effects on education across volatile communities. Consequently, available statistics indicate, nearly 6.3 million or 60% of the 10.5 million Nigerian out of school children live in northern Nigeria where kidnap of students from schools has been more prevalent over the years. There are also huge geographical disparities between the percentage of out of school children in the Northeast, which is 30 times greater than the percentage in the Southeast and 60% of these are girls from Northern Nigeria. In view of all these, what is the impact on education in Northern Nigeria? what is the effect on the turnout of students across volatile areas? What are the likely school based interventions that can be applied to ensure students are kept safe while in school? What are some likely community interventions that can help protect school children? What are the uncertainties of school proprietors and parents / Guardians in this challenging times? What is the way forward? What lessons can be learnt and adapted by school in Jos and environs from these experiences? All these and many more will form the basis of our discussion on today's edition of Building Bridges.

"When kids witness the adults in their midst being passive by-standers to injustice, they learn to do the same," says Rick Phillips. He adds that the mean-spirited tone of many reality shows, music, and video games only adds to our children's "de-sentization to the pain and suffering of other people." Annie talks with Rick about his Safe Schools Ambassors Program and how it has made significant positive differences in schools around the country.
