I don't know, I'm asking the question because I'm trying to understand better. What exactly do you like in the book category? Actually the fun part was last week I was sitting around talking to someone that they're contemplating contemplating writing a book. I was like, you shouldn't hold off, let's get to it, Get some book info out there. Um, some definitely some interesting things as they are talking and contemplating about writing El Barco. Um, as they do move forward and go on and all that kind of fun stuff. Anyways, let's get you rolling and bowling into some feature story news because that's important, whatever the hell they have to say. So let's get that started right away. Here is the news on the safety show from feature story News in London. I'm Benji Higher Belarusian President alexander Lukashenko has defended his actions in diverting a passenger plane into minks where government critic roman produce ceviche was arrested. Belarus had claimed there was a bomb threat onboard Julia chapman has the latest after days of mounting criticism, alexander lukashenka broke his silence on sunday's incident. He insisted that he followed international rules When he made the decision to divert the Ryanair plane, he rejected accusations that the fighter jet he sent to accompany it was intended as a threat. The belarussian president says the alleged bomb threat originated from Switzerland using a polish ip address. President lukashenka denounced western criticism saying ill wishers from outside Belarus had crossed many red lines. The fallout over Belarus's decision to force down the Ryanair flight using a military jet continues with european leaders probing whether Russia may have been involved. German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she will bring up the matter next time she talked with President Putin trans Murray reports from Berlin, Angela Merkel told reporters that she and other EU leaders had discussed the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin may have had some involvement in the force grounding of the Ryanair flight in Belarus. On sunday, Merkel said leaders had quote touched on the question of whether Russia had anything to do with it. But we're yet to make any firm findings on Russia's role. Germany has strongly condemned Belarus's decision to use a military jet to force a commercial airliner to land so it could arrest a journalist on board german flag carrier Lufthansa has stopped flying to belarus altogether and overnight the german cycling federation said it would no longer be sending a team to next month's european championships due to be held in the belarussian capital of Minks UK Prime Minister Boris johnson's former aide is facing questions from mps about mistakes made during the coronavirus pandemic Dominic cummings argues Mr johnson was late to lock down the country on more than one occasion, costing thousands of lies and the government failed when the public needed it most. The truth is that senior ministers, senior officials, senior advisers like me, fell disastrously short of the standards that the public has a right to expect of its government in a crisis like this, Cabinet Minister Grant Shapps says Mr Cummings allegations are a side show it's a bit of a circus from someone who was there at the time and had the facility and ability to influence a lot of these decisions of course, and you can see that the right decisions were being made at the right time. As it happens, the indian states of West Bengal and Odisha have evacuated hundreds of thousands of people ahead of cyclone Yasi. The army has also been deployed and prosecutors in new york have convened a grand jury to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute former President donald trump all members of his inner circle from bureaus worldwide. This is FSN with FSN spotlight. I'm Simon marks wrapping up our inside look at life in the Gaza Strip. For the last couple of days, we've heard from Matt Frei, the foreign affairs reporter for Britain's Channel Four News who crossed into Gaza last weekend. He's there unlike US secretary of State antony Blinken, whose trip to the Middle East did not include meetings with officials from Hamas because the US deems them terrorists.

Safety show on safety. FM. Okay, so there you go. A lot of going on inside of the world. It is always we cut out early. So that's this kind of the way that it happens. Anyway, let's talk about what's going on according to the hit list that's taken from the very very very very very, very top as this 13 minutes past the top of the hour as you and I are hanging out. The C. D. C. Has had advising americans against traveling to Japan ahead of the olympics due to surge in covid 19 cases. If traveling to Japan is avoidable, travelers should get inoculated wear masks and practice social distancing and the where in uh, in the warning has been stay tuned. Meanwhile, the state Department issued a level four. Do not travel advisor to the highest cautionary level. Um, and an outright travel ban is not in effect. So there you go. Some stuff to think about as we are talking this morning anyway, is a little bit more information. A swarm of cicadas descended on New Jersey town. That was the site of the martian landing in the sci fi flick war of the worlds. The insects known as periodical cicadas crowd one of of the soil of the Van ness park And grows mill where they were have been hanging out for about 17 years after emerging bugs only live about a month, but females leave behind hundreds of eggs creating the next insect invasion. So there you go. The invasion has started. The invasion has started. I guess we should probably get to some serious stuff here in the second. As of Tuesday over 288 excuse me, 287.7 million Covid vaccines have been administered nationwide. Over 131 million americans have been fully vaccinated. While more than 100 and 64.3 million ever received at least one dose according to the CDC. The White House reported that yesterday half of americans are now fully vaccinated. So there you go. So I mean, I don't know, it keeps on being kind of an interesting convo as we continue to talk about this. Because yesterday we were talking about the glorious state of Ohio doing some stuff where they were changing some things up, where they were turning around and saying, hey, if you're interested in being vaccinated, you can be so, so by doing it. But you'll also enter into a lotto Where you could win $1 million. I guess that's kinda have some influence on what people want to do. I'm just saying that out loud because what do you think there? I mean, if you had a chance to win a million bucks, I think you'll go ahead and jump onto it. I'm just saying that out loud for something to think about. But then again, I could just be losing my mind. Safety. Never sounded so terrible. Rated r safety show. Okay. Half of a senior class of the texas high school has been suspended over a class prank. Over half. Yeah. You heard me right there? Around 40 seniors hold on 40. That's it. 40 seniors at comfort High schools received two week suspension for senior prank, which they placed plastic forks on the football field at a select few also entered the school after hours leaving balloons and Iran rep, which is, that was administered. Uh, the administration took issue with parents defending their seniors, calling the prank harmless and saying that there is no damage, no destruction, no graffiti, no defacing of property, No police reports. Hope J. Hope J who was who was who are to seniors in the class called public outrage. Say the prank was an innocent administrative should be more understanding, especially after the past year. Meanwhile, local liquor store placed inside outside, congratulated the senior and it reads, we're so forking proud. So that's what it says. But think about it. You do have um some level of uh of entry inside of going into the let's see the school after hours. So there's a little be any action going on there breaking an entry. So let's think about that for a moment. Uh, So there you go. Something to think about anyways. Good morning. What's your view on the next A. S. S. P. National conference in september? It's in person and virtual. Do you think it will be well attended in person? Well they have actually put themselves in one of the best places possible to do it in version which is austin texas. But I think that it becomes a very interesting conversation. Um Let's be realistic we're going to talk about it this year. Um They did their pricing right this time around. Let's be real. I have we talked about this last week uh this couple questions coming in by richard Nichols by the way. Um So I think they priced it right. I think that the in person side they have put their themselves in one of the best police as possible being austin in texas being open for quite some time where I think there might be some struggle here. Just from the initial on on set is the people that bought tickets to go to colorado. How is that going to work? Because if you place the flight to go to colorado and then all of a sudden it got switched from june to september, how well is that going to work? Um and I think, I mean, and this is of course future, future crystal balls kind of stuff. Um thinking about it as we are talking here um it's gonna be interesting to see what happens over the next few months because that's going to determine a lot of how many people will show up will they be as packed as a, as a years previous as when it was open full board? I don't think so. I don't think that's going to be the case. There will be more attendance probably than what you probably would normally considered, but I don't think it's gonna be a packed out event. I hope I'm extremely wrong because here's the thing and I'll tell you this and a lot of people don't believe me when I say that and it's okay. I have this love hate relationship with the american Society of safety professionals and I'll explain what I mean here. I think that they price that thing wrong last year and I made that abundantly clear. But also I think that they do good for the overall community for people that are learning about safety. Let's just be realistic. Uh, there's some money situations and what they charge and all that stuff that I don't agree with 100% but hey, that's their gig, not mine. People can go out there and buy, but I also don't see some of the things that they offer as it being the creme de la creme. When you start thinking that there's 350 designations that are out there for, um, for safety professionals. But hey, that's my opinion to have, of course they have their own opinion. They think that they're doing great on whatever they're doing, that's their gig, that's fine with them. But you know, I think you'll see a lot more people there, but just not as packed as the previous years. I hope they have a lot of success of what they're going on because here's the thing, they also bring a lot of attention to that particular community on when they're going around talking about what's going on inside of the world's safety and anybody who would sit there and say otherwise is a straight up longing to you. Um, but I think that a lot of the membership in the continuing education stuff to be able to keep your existing credentials kind of makes it interesting but I'm sure that there's a whole conversation for another day. Anyway let's continue talking a little bit more about some other things, Laurie Vallo and her husband chad have been been indicted on murder charges in connection with the death of her of their two Children. They both face two counts of first degree murder, conspiracy to commit first degree murder and grand theft by deception of the death of Tyler Ryan 17 and Joshua J. J. Value seven. They were faced conspiracy to commit first degree charges of death, tammy dabble in chad's former wife value and able face anywhere from life in prison to the death penalty. JJ and tiles. Bodies were found barry and day by day bell um in the backyard in june of 2020. They had been missing since september of 2019. So there you go. Some stuff to think about. For sure. So what do you think about it? Mr mr Nichols. What do you think about the whole thing? Do you think that it's gonna be packed out? And then of course the the more important question there Will you be attending the ASSP. event that it will be occurring in 2021? I'll be interesting to see the amount of people that go out there. I mean I'll tell you it's kind of a the last time that I went uh I wouldn't san Antonio that was the last time that I went out there was good. I mean it's a good time. Let's not lie let's not lie about it because it is a good time for those who do attend will be interesting to see how the transition works for the hybrid event because especially last year in particular when they started to do the pre record the event and then just have somebody inside of there and and do the question and answers. I thought that was kind of weird because now you're essentially paying to watch a pre record to be able to answer questions because and I understand that there is a concern that it's not gonna work in real life. But this is the risk that you take. You have to do it live because if not it does not feel authentic as you're doing it because you can't customize the conversation. So like right now I'm in the middle of the news. You're dropping questions about what's going on here. What's my thought process? I wouldn't be able to answer that if it's a pre record because then I would just be going straight through the news. But anyways, let's continue, madam says their covid 19 vaccine is now highly effective for kids 12 8, 12 to 17 in a trial that more than 3700 kids, none of those have received uh received who, none of them who received. The two dose vaccine came down with covid symptoms while 14 in the placebo group caught the bug. The Ceo Stephane Bancel said that the company will submit their results to the FDA in early june. I guess that's in a few days uh, and ask the vaccination to be approved. The promising study comes after Pfizer's vaccine was approved for kids 12 to 15 earlier this month. So there you go. So let's take a listen here. Mr Nichols here. I'll be at the V. P P A. S. S. P and NSC events. Very interesting to see what the attendees is. Of course a SSP is a hybrid. So I wonder if it discourages attendance in person. So there you go. The V. P. P. A. I remember that we're supposed to be here. We were supposed here in the florida area last year were supposed to be doing some stuff together. You know that them coming up is going to Tennessee and the National Safety Council one. Don't think normally. I don't I'm trying to remember don't they normally do their stuff in um California? So I'm assuming that this year will probably be different. I had heard rumblings that it was gonna be occurring in isn't it occurring in florida but I don't know. Somebody can tell me because I never know what the hell is going on. I can't keep up with all those conventions and all those conferences and all that stuff I would love to but I just lose my mind. You're listening to something. You're listening to? The rated R safety show. Okay. A team from Washington University School of Medicine in ST louis believes that they're having a mild case of covid 19 may serve as a lifetime of protection from the virus. White Yes, I did say white just in case. White. Initial reports that claims antibodies fade quickly. Researchers found that although the number of antibodies um to drop in the patient as they recover, they never they never totally go away. After looking at the blood in the marrow samples of 77 people who have recovered from mild cases of COVID-19. The team found that the antibodies drop off quickly after clearing the virus but did not disappear entirely. Instead, they appear to level off and were detectable Nearly a year later, researchers concluded that there is no reason to think that the cells will ever leave the human body. The team is now looking to whether people are to have the vaccination against covid will also have the same long lasting immunity. So there you go. Some, some good times to think about when it comes to that. For sure. Anyway, so let's continue talking. Shots were fired on Tuesday near George Floyd square. Yes, you did hear me correctly? There the intersection where Floyd died last year, during memorial event of the anniversary of his death. One person was injured in the shooting, but it is expected to be okay. Authorities said that the shooter drove away and the remains on the loose. So here you go. Meanwhile, Floyd's family was at the White House yesterday where they chatted with President joe biden and Crew Floyd's brother uh brother put pressure lawmakers to pass police reform saying if there are federal laws on the books to protect bald eagles, there should be laws on the book to protect minorities. So there you go. That's something that did come about yesterday during the conversation with the president. You are listening to a radio God. What? This has to be an error. That host is not a radio guard. Anyways, this is the rated R safety show on safety f firm. Okay, so here you go, Hygiene and beauty products are flying off the shelves as states lift restrictions and masks are being removed, deodorant and teeth whiteners in condoms are some of the many items of high demand as americans prepped to be in close proximity with other humans. The stock up doesn't appear to be intense as his last year of Russian toilet paper and hand sanitizer. So there you go. People getting those teeth whitened people getting some deodorant, thank God and of course getting the condoms because they are getting their groove and move on. I mean we talked about this, we talked about that during the people standing in line to get the covid vaccine when everybody was trying to ramp up and get them that people were, were dressing up as if they were going out on a date because I guess they were trying to get uh, you know, try to, to set expectations on what they wanted to do next. Hey, whatever it takes to get your groove on. Listen to our host of the rated R. Safety show. Self implode on our airwaves. Only on safety FM. I guess Manscaped started promoting at the right time. Let's think about it in that fashion. Anyways, let's talk about the market be admitted. Let's get into our friend john smalls, let him talk about what's going on. Here's your market beat minute for Wednesday may 26th, 2021 monday's bull market came to a crashing halt on Tuesday. The major indexes tried to make further gains but failed in the face of weaker than expected economic data on the consumer front, consumer confidence remains high, but at 117 fell nearly a full point from the previous month versus the expected gain on the housing front. Not only were new home sales, much weaker than expected, the previous month's data was revised lower as well. The reason is rapidly rising home prices that are fueled by not only high demand, but also by rising lumber prices as well. The case shiller housing price index gained more than 13% in april, making the fastest pace of home price growth in about 15 years. If the remainder of this week's data is also disappointing, the market could continue to drift sideways within its near term range. You can get the inside track in your inbox at market beat minute dot com. Okay, so there you go, that's what johnny smalls brings in and tells us what's going on. Let's go a little bit further here and talk about some other stuff that we got Tuesday saw, the market will fall back into Dow dipped about 81 points, the NASDAQ lost about four points and the S&P dropped about eight points. The conference board of consumer confidence insects fell to lower than expected reading for the recent period, inflation feel still a guide to consumers buying habits. So there you go. Some other additional stuff to talk about as we are bringing this up now, And I think that we should probably get to our main story as it is 28 minutes past the top of the hour, it is our main story on the radio safety show. So there you go, a lot of stuff going on inside of the world of the news. We're constantly talking about all these things and all that kind of fun stuff because it's very, very, very, very important. I mean, you know this, that's why we go through all this stuff that we talk about because if it wasn't important, we wouldn't be talking about it. I mean, don't you think so? There you go, a lot of stuff, right away off the bat. So, have you been watching lately a lot of the things that are going on inside of the world, when it comes to the world related to things going on with OSHA, have you been taking a look at that? Do you normally um take a a look around and go, hey, this is stuff that might be important for what's going on inside of my organ or not. I'm just asking the question because here's the gig. Here is the thing. There has been some, some info that has circulated as a, as of recent. And I would like to share this with you. And let's talk about the new OSHA F A. Q on vaccine record ability because I think that this is important because you know that we talk about all kinds of stuff inside of this world. But we need to talk about this because I think it's going to be important if you are actually inside of a facility or if you kind of go around and about and talk about all these things related to uh, where's prime is by the way, we need primacy in here for this. But let's talk about this real quick. Let's talk about this portion. Our advisor adverse reactions to covid 19 vaccine. Recordable on the OSHA recordkeeping log. Let me give you the answer that came about from the Department of Labor And OSHA. So this way we can know exactly what these are now as well as other federal agencies are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccination. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers in receiving covid 19 vaccinations and also not to wish a dis incentivize employers vaccination effort. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 c f r 19 oh four. Recording requirements To require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May of 2022. Yes, you did hear me correctly. There May of 2022. We will reevaluate the agency's position at the time to determine the best course of action moving forward. Do I need to go through that again? I just want to make sure. So you did hear that? So they will not enforce 29 CFR 1904 is now, if you love the number stuff you can look it up. But isn't that interesting that now there has been a slight change now. This is coming from Shelton James, should I? Well too late. Now, directly from OSHA, this is a reply back in regards of some questions that were being asked and this is what he came up with. So there you go. This was answered as a Monday at 1158 in the mining and that's Monday the 24th. So what do you think about this? That there are not requiring this particular information? What comes to mind as we talk about this? Do you think that this will put the right president in place when it actually starts coming about and talking about this? Or do you look at this and go uh not the right thing to do. I'm just asking the question because somebody's going to have to ask it. And do you think that this is right to be on hold until May of 2022? I mean, you can say yes or no. It's OK. It doesn't hurt my feelings. It is a conversation going forward, but it does put some different ideas out there on how this will be looked at. That's for sure. Anyway, so that's what I wanted to share with you during the main story today, because it is definitely a change. I would have loved to have seen Primary. I probably shouldn't. Probably four warned him that I was going to be talking about this. But to be honest with you, I never know what the hell I'm going to talk about because that's what it is. This is the show that we decided to go back and forth and do whatever. Anyway, so there you go. That's the newest information. Um, hopefully, you know, everything will go correctly going forward. But then again, I'm just sharing this information with you because I don't know anything. That was the guy behind a microphone. What did he just say? We have safety FM. Don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now, back to real Safety talk on safety FM. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the home of real Safety talk.

So let's talk about the fiction and nonfiction category Inside of the world of books, taking it from the very top. Here we go. Uh the number five in the fiction category. As people we meet on vacation At # four last summer. Or excuse me that summer I'm learning how to read number three.

So there you go. Some interesting stuff going on inside of there. So I don't know is that your is that your gig? Is that your thing now? Do you like it? Do you not like it? I don't know, I'm asking the question because I'm trying to understand better. What exactly do you like in the book category? Actually the fun part was last week I was sitting around talking to someone that they're contemplating contemplating writing a book. I was like, you shouldn't hold off, let's get to it, Get some book info out there. Um, some definitely some interesting things as they are talking and contemplating about writing El Barco. Um, as they do move forward and go on and all that kind of fun stuff. Anyways, let's get you rolling and bowling into some feature story news because that's important, whatever the hell they have to say. So let's get that started right away. Here is the news on the safety show from feature story News in London. I'm Benji Higher Belarusian President alexander Lukashenko has defended his actions in diverting a passenger plane into minks where government critic roman produce ceviche was arrested. Belarus had claimed there was a bomb threat onboard Julia chapman has the latest after days of mounting criticism, alexander lukashenka broke his silence on sunday's incident. He insisted that he followed international rules When he made the decision to divert the Ryanair plane, he rejected accusations that the fighter jet he sent to accompany it was intended as a threat. The belarussian president says the alleged bomb threat originated from Switzerland using a polish ip address. President lukashenka denounced western criticism saying ill wishers from outside Belarus had crossed many red lines. The fallout over Belarus's decision to force down the Ryanair flight using a military jet continues with european leaders probing whether Russia may have been involved. German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she will bring up the matter next time she talked with President Putin trans Murray reports from Berlin, Angela Merkel told reporters that she and other EU leaders had discussed the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin may have had some involvement in the force grounding of the Ryanair flight in Belarus. On sunday, Merkel said leaders had quote touched on the question of whether Russia had anything to do with it. But we're yet to make any firm findings on Russia's role. Germany has strongly condemned Belarus's decision to use a military jet to force a commercial airliner to land so it could arrest a journalist on board german flag carrier Lufthansa has stopped flying to belarus altogether and overnight the german cycling federation said it would no longer be sending a team to next month's european championships due to be held in the belarussian capital of Minks UK Prime Minister Boris johnson's former aide is facing questions from mps about mistakes made during the coronavirus pandemic Dominic cummings argues Mr johnson was late to lock down the country on more than one occasion, costing thousands of lies and the government failed when the public needed it most. The truth is that senior ministers, senior officials, senior advisers like me, fell disastrously short of the standards that the public has a right to expect of its government in a crisis like this, Cabinet Minister Grant Shapps says Mr Cummings allegations are a side show it's a bit of a circus from someone who was there at the time and had the facility and ability to influence a lot of these decisions of course, and you can see that the right decisions were being made at the right time. As it happens, the indian states of West Bengal and Odisha have evacuated hundreds of thousands of people ahead of cyclone Yasi. The army has also been deployed and prosecutors in new york have convened a grand jury to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute former President donald trump all members of his inner circle from bureaus worldwide. This is FSN with FSN spotlight. I'm Simon marks wrapping up our inside look at life in the Gaza Strip.

He's there unlike US secretary of State antony Blinken, whose trip to the Middle East did not include meetings with officials from Hamas because the US deems them terrorists.

Safety show on safety. FM. Okay, so there you go. A lot of going on inside of the world. It is always we cut out early. So that's this kind of the way that it happens. Anyway, let's talk about what's going on according to the hit list that's taken from the very very very very very, very top as this 13 minutes past the top of the hour as you and I are hanging out. The C. D. C. Has had advising americans against traveling to Japan ahead of the olympics due to surge in covid 19 cases. If traveling to Japan is avoidable, travelers should get inoculated wear masks and practice social distancing and the where in uh, in the warning has been stay tuned. Meanwhile, the state Department issued a level four. Do not travel advisor to the highest cautionary level. Um, and an outright travel ban is not in effect. So there you go. Some stuff to think about as we are talking this morning anyway, is a little bit more information. A swarm of cicadas descended on New Jersey town. That was the site of the martian landing in the sci fi flick war of the worlds. The insects known as periodical cicadas crowd one of of the soil of the Van ness park And grows mill where they were have been hanging out for about 17 years after emerging bugs only live about a month, but females leave behind hundreds of eggs creating the next insect invasion. So there you go. The invasion has started. The invasion has started. I guess we should probably get to some serious stuff here in the second. As of Tuesday over 288 excuse me, 287.7 million Covid vaccines have been administered nationwide. Over 131 million americans have been fully vaccinated. While more than 100 and 64.3 million ever received at least one dose according to the CDC. The White House reported that yesterday half of americans are now fully vaccinated. So there you go. So I mean, I don't know, it keeps on being kind of an interesting convo as we continue to talk about this. Because yesterday we were talking about the glorious state of Ohio doing some stuff where they were changing some things up, where they were turning around and saying, hey, if you're interested in being vaccinated, you can be so, so by doing it. But you'll also enter into a lotto Where you could win $1 million. I guess that's kinda have some influence on what people want to do. I'm just saying that out loud because what do you think there? I mean, if you had a chance to win a million bucks, I think you'll go ahead and jump onto it. I'm just saying that out loud for something to think about. But then again, I could just be losing my mind. Safety. Never sounded so terrible. Rated r safety show. Okay. Half of a senior class of the texas high school has been suspended over a class prank. Over half. Yeah. You heard me right there? Around 40 seniors hold on 40. That's it. 40 seniors at comfort High schools received two week suspension for senior prank, which they placed plastic forks on the football field at a select few also entered the school after hours leaving balloons and Iran rep, which is, that was administered. Uh, the administration took issue with parents defending their seniors, calling the prank harmless and saying that there is no damage, no destruction, no graffiti, no defacing of property, No police reports. Hope J. Hope J who was who was who are to seniors in the class called public outrage. Say the prank was an innocent administrative should be more understanding, especially after the past year. Meanwhile, local liquor store placed inside outside, congratulated the senior and it reads, we're so forking proud. So that's what it says. But think about it. You do have um some level of uh of entry inside of going into the let's see the school after hours. So there's a little be any action going on there breaking an entry. So let's think about that for a moment. Uh, So there you go. Something to think about anyways. Good morning. What's your view on the next A. S. S. P. National conference in september? It's in person and virtual. Do you think it will be well attended in person? Well they have actually put themselves in one of the best places possible to do it in version which is austin texas. But I think that it becomes a very interesting conversation. Um Let's be realistic we're going to talk about it this year. Um They did their pricing right this time around. Let's be real. I have we talked about this last week uh this couple questions coming in by richard Nichols by the way. Um So I think they priced it right. I think that the in person side they have put their themselves in one of the best police as possible being austin in texas being open for quite some time where I think there might be some struggle here. Just from the initial on on set is the people that bought tickets to go to colorado. How is that going to work? Because if you place the flight to go to colorado and then all of a sudden it got switched from june to september, how well is that going to work? Um and I think, I mean, and this is of course future, future crystal balls kind of stuff. Um thinking about it as we are talking here um it's gonna be interesting to see what happens over the next few months because that's going to determine a lot of how many people will show up will they be as packed as a, as a years previous as when it was open full board? I don't think so. I don't think that's going to be the case. There will be more attendance probably than what you probably would normally considered, but I don't think it's gonna be a packed out event. I hope I'm extremely wrong because here's the thing and I'll tell you this and a lot of people don't believe me when I say that and it's okay. I have this love hate relationship with the american Society of safety professionals and I'll explain what I mean here. I think that they price that thing wrong last year and I made that abundantly clear. But also I think that they do good for the overall community for people that are learning about safety. Let's just be realistic. Uh, there's some money situations and what they charge and all that stuff that I don't agree with 100% but hey, that's their gig, not mine. People can go out there and buy, but I also don't see some of the things that they offer as it being the creme de la creme. When you start thinking that there's 350 designations that are out there for, um, for safety professionals. But hey, that's my opinion to have, of course they have their own opinion. They think that they're doing great on whatever they're doing, that's their gig, that's fine with them. But you know, I think you'll see a lot more people there, but just not as packed as the previous years. I hope they have a lot of success of what they're going on because here's the thing, they also bring a lot of attention to that particular community on when they're going around talking about what's going on inside of the world's safety and anybody who would sit there and say otherwise is a straight up longing to you. Um, but I think that a lot of the membership in the continuing education stuff to be able to keep your existing credentials kind of makes it interesting but I'm sure that there's a whole conversation for another day. Anyway let's continue talking a little bit more about some other things, Laurie Vallo and her husband chad have been been indicted on murder charges in connection with the death of her of their two Children. They both face two counts of first degree murder, conspiracy to commit first degree murder and grand theft by deception of the death of Tyler Ryan 17 and Joshua J. J. Value seven. They were faced conspiracy to commit first degree charges of death, tammy dabble in chad's former wife value and able face anywhere from life in prison to the death penalty. JJ and tiles. Bodies were found barry and day by day bell um in the backyard in june of 2020. They had been missing since september of 2019. So there you go. Some stuff to think about. For sure. So what do you think about it? Mr mr Nichols. What do you think about the whole thing? Do you think that it's gonna be packed out? And then of course the the more important question there Will you be attending the ASSP. event that it will be occurring in 2021? I'll be interesting to see the amount of people that go out there. I mean I'll tell you it's kind of a the last time that I went uh I wouldn't san Antonio that was the last time that I went out there was good. I mean it's a good time. Let's not lie let's not lie about it because it is a good time for those who do attend will be interesting to see how the transition works for the hybrid event because especially last year in particular when they started to do the pre record the event and then just have somebody inside of there and and do the question and answers. I thought that was kind of weird because now you're essentially paying to watch a pre record to be able to answer questions because and I understand that there is a concern that it's not gonna work in real life. But this is the risk that you take. You have to do it live because if not it does not feel authentic as you're doing it because you can't customize the conversation. So like right now I'm in the middle of the news. You're dropping questions about what's going on here. What's my thought process? I wouldn't be able to answer that if it's a pre record because then I would just be going straight through the news. But anyways, let's continue, madam says their covid 19 vaccine is now highly effective for kids 12 8, 12 to 17 in a trial that more than 3700 kids, none of those have received uh received who, none of them who received. The two dose vaccine came down with covid symptoms while 14 in the placebo group caught the bug. The Ceo Stephane Bancel said that the company will submit their results to the FDA in early june. I guess that's in a few days uh, and ask the vaccination to be approved. The promising study comes after Pfizer's vaccine was approved for kids 12 to 15 earlier this month. So there you go. So let's take a listen here. Mr Nichols here. I'll be at the V. P P A. S. S. P and NSC events. Very interesting to see what the attendees is. Of course a SSP is a hybrid. So I wonder if it discourages attendance in person. So there you go. The V. P. P. A. I remember that we're supposed to be here. We were supposed here in the florida area last year were supposed to be doing some stuff together. You know that them coming up is going to Tennessee and the National Safety Council one. Don't think normally. I don't I'm trying to remember don't they normally do their stuff in um California? So I'm assuming that this year will probably be different. I had heard rumblings that it was gonna be occurring in isn't it occurring in florida but I don't know. Somebody can tell me because I never know what the hell is going on. I can't keep up with all those conventions and all those conferences and all that stuff I would love to but I just lose my mind. You're listening to something. You're listening to? The rated R safety show. Okay. A team from Washington University School of Medicine in ST louis believes that they're having a mild case of covid 19 may serve as a lifetime of protection from the virus. White Yes, I did say white just in case. White. Initial reports that claims antibodies fade quickly. Researchers found that although the number of antibodies um to drop in the patient as they recover, they never they never totally go away. After looking at the blood in the marrow samples of 77 people who have recovered from mild cases of COVID-19. The team found that the antibodies drop off quickly after clearing the virus but did not disappear entirely. Instead, they appear to level off and were detectable Nearly a year later, researchers concluded that there is no reason to think that the cells will ever leave the human body. The team is now looking to whether people are to have the vaccination against covid will also have the same long lasting immunity. So there you go. Some, some good times to think about when it comes to that. For sure. Anyway, so let's continue talking. Shots were fired on Tuesday near George Floyd square. Yes, you did hear me correctly? There the intersection where Floyd died last year, during memorial event of the anniversary of his death. One person was injured in the shooting, but it is expected to be okay. Authorities said that the shooter drove away and the remains on the loose. So here you go. Meanwhile, Floyd's family was at the White House yesterday where they chatted with President joe biden and Crew Floyd's brother uh brother put pressure lawmakers to pass police reform saying if there are federal laws on the books to protect bald eagles, there should be laws on the book to protect minorities. So there you go. That's something that did come about yesterday during the conversation with the president. You are listening to a radio God. What? This has to be an error. That host is not a radio guard. Anyways, this is the rated R safety show on safety f firm. Okay, so here you go, Hygiene and beauty products are flying off the shelves as states lift restrictions and masks are being removed, deodorant and teeth whiteners in condoms are some of the many items of high demand as americans prepped to be in close proximity with other humans. The stock up doesn't appear to be intense as his last year of Russian toilet paper and hand sanitizer. So there you go. People getting those teeth whitened people getting some deodorant, thank God and of course getting the condoms because they are getting their groove and move on. I mean we talked about this, we talked about that during the people standing in line to get the covid vaccine when everybody was trying to ramp up and get them that people were, were dressing up as if they were going out on a date because I guess they were trying to get uh, you know, try to, to set expectations on what they wanted to do next. Hey, whatever it takes to get your groove on. Listen to our host of the rated R. Safety show. Self implode on our airwaves. Only on safety FM. I guess Manscaped started promoting at the right time. Let's think about it in that fashion. Anyways, let's talk about the market be admitted. Let's get into our friend john smalls, let him talk about what's going on. Here's your market beat minute for Wednesday may 26th, 2021 monday's bull market came to a crashing halt on Tuesday. The major indexes tried to make further gains but failed in the face of weaker than expected economic data on the consumer front, consumer confidence remains high, but at 117 fell nearly a full point from the previous month versus the expected gain on the housing front. Not only were new home sales, much weaker than expected, the previous month's data was revised lower as well. The reason is rapidly rising home prices that are fueled by not only high demand, but also by rising lumber prices as well. The case shiller housing price index gained more than 13% in april, making the fastest pace of home price growth in about 15 years. If the remainder of this week's data is also disappointing, the market could continue to drift sideways within its near term range. You can get the inside track in your inbox at market beat minute dot com. Okay, so there you go, that's what johnny smalls brings in and tells us what's going on. Let's go a little bit further here and talk about some other stuff that we got Tuesday saw, the market will fall back into Dow dipped about 81 points, the NASDAQ lost about four points and the S&P dropped about eight points. The conference board of consumer confidence insects fell to lower than expected reading for the recent period, inflation feel still a guide to consumers buying habits. So there you go. Some other additional stuff to talk about as we are bringing this up now, And I think that we should probably get to our main story as it is 28 minutes past the top of the hour, it is our main story on the radio safety show. So there you go, a lot of stuff going on inside of the world of the news. We're constantly talking about all these things and all that kind of fun stuff because it's very, very, very, very important. I mean, you know this, that's why we go through all this stuff that we talk about because if it wasn't important, we wouldn't be talking about it. I mean, don't you think so? There you go, a lot of stuff, right away off the bat. So, have you been watching lately a lot of the things that are going on inside of the world, when it comes to the world related to things going on with OSHA, have you been taking a look at that? Do you normally um take a a look around and go, hey, this is stuff that might be important for what's going on inside of my organ or not. I'm just asking the question because here's the gig. Here is the thing. There has been some, some info that has circulated as a, as of recent. And I would like to share this with you. And let's talk about the new OSHA F A. Q on vaccine record ability because I think that this is important because you know that we talk about all kinds of stuff inside of this world. But we need to talk about this because I think it's going to be important if you are actually inside of a facility or if you kind of go around and about and talk about all these things related to uh, where's prime is by the way, we need primacy in here for this. But let's talk about this real quick. Let's talk about this portion. Our advisor adverse reactions to covid 19 vaccine. Recordable on the OSHA recordkeeping log. Let me give you the answer that came about from the Department of Labor And OSHA. So this way we can know exactly what these are now as well as other federal agencies are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccination. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers in receiving covid 19 vaccinations and also not to wish a dis incentivize employers vaccination effort. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 c f r 19 oh four. Recording requirements To require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May of 2022. Yes, you did hear me correctly. There May of 2022. We will reevaluate the agency's position at the time to determine the best course of action moving forward. Do I need to go through that again? I just want to make sure. So you did hear that? So they will not enforce 29 CFR 1904 is now, if you love the number stuff you can look it up. But isn't that interesting that now there has been a slight change now. This is coming from Shelton James, should I? Well too late. Now, directly from OSHA, this is a reply back in regards of some questions that were being asked and this is what he came up with. So there you go. This was answered as a Monday at 1158 in the mining and that's Monday the 24th. So what do you think about this? That there are not requiring this particular information? What comes to mind as we talk about this? Do you think that this will put the right president in place when it actually starts coming about and talking about this? Or do you look at this and go uh not the right thing to do. I'm just asking the question because somebody's going to have to ask it. And do you think that this is right to be on hold until May of 2022? I mean, you can say yes or no. It's OK. It doesn't hurt my feelings. It is a conversation going forward, but it does put some different ideas out there on how this will be looked at. That's for sure. Anyway, so that's what I wanted to share with you during the main story today, because it is definitely a change. I would have loved to have seen Primary. I probably shouldn't. Probably four warned him that I was going to be talking about this. But to be honest with you, I never know what the hell I'm going to talk about because that's what it is. This is the show that we decided to go back and forth and do whatever. Anyway, so there you go. That's the newest information. Um, hopefully, you know, everything will go correctly going forward. But then again, I'm just sharing this information with you because I don't know anything. That was the guy behind a microphone. What did he just say? We have safety FM. Don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now, back to real Safety talk on safety FM. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the home of real Safety talk. You are listening to safety FM. We'll be right back. Hamilton was adopted from a rescue in 2008. She really likes to be around people.
