Podcasts about national registry

In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence kicks off a special series spotlighting national EMS associations, beginning with a deep dive into the EMS Personnel Licensure Interstate CompAct (REPLICA). His guest, Donnie Woodyard Jr., executive director, Interstate Commission for EMS Personnel Practice, brings decades of EMS experience and leadership to the table to demystify what the EMS Compact is, how it operates, and why it matters to the profession today. From improving workforce mobility to protecting public safety during disasters, Woodyard Jr. provides clarity on this critical multi-state agreement. The conversation covers everything from how EMS Compact came to be, to the significance of national registry standards, disaster response logistics, interstate licensure, and even leadership lessons from Woodyard Jr.'s latest book project, “Leadership in action: The Wisdom and stories of EMS innovators”. Whether you're a field provider or policymaker, this episode is a must-listen for understanding how collaborative legislation can shape the future of EMS. In the episode, Woodyard Jr. candidly addresses the ongoing debate in North Carolina over transitioning from a state-only EMS certification exam to exclusive use of the National Registry. Woodyard Jr., while respectful of North Carolina's long-standing EMS tradition, emphasizes the importance of national consistency. He acknowledged that the proposed legislation needed amendments, particularly around grandfathering existing providers, but stood firm in his belief that a single, legally defensible national standard is essential for provider mobility and professional integrity. Drawing on real-world examples, Woodyard Jr. described how providers are often caught off guard when relocating — only to discover their credentials aren't accepted elsewhere. “Maintaining a state-only exam is harmful to individuals,” he said, calling for unified testing standards that support workforce movement and strengthens the profession nationwide. Memorable quotes from Donnie Woodyard Jr “Every EMT and paramedic in the United States should go through a fingerprint background check. You know, babysitters have to do it. Teachers have to do it. EMS personnel absolutely should do it.” “Maintaining a state-only exam is harmful to individuals. It limits their mobility.” “When you waive that requirement for licensure, you actually are removing essential elements of public protection and accountability.” Timeline 00:21 – Rob introduces the series on national EMS associations and welcomes Donnie Woodyard, Jr. 01:55 – Woodyard, Jr.shares his EMS journey from volunteer in Virginia to international disaster medicine and state leadership 03:41 – What is the EMS Compact and how does it work? 06:38 – Challenges of multistate EMS licensing pre-Compact 08:00 – Explaining the driver's license analogy and compact accountability 11:17 – EMAC vs. EMS Compact for disaster response and liability concerns 15:31 – National Registry and grandfathering provisions 17:30 – Arkansas joins as the 25th compact state 18:56 – Model legislation and how states join the compact 21:22 – What REPLICA stands for and its legislative origin 22:20 – What California (and other non-compact states) should consider 24:33 – National Registry debate: North Carolina's challenges and Woodyard, Jr.'s response 27:52 – Mobility, workforce attrition and job-sharing innovation 30:11 – The Commission and national EMS-coordinated database 35:17 – Final thoughts on fragmentation, collaboration and EMS unity 36:41 – Woodyard, Jr.'s leadership book, EMS charity support and Secretary Panetta's forward 41:08 – Closing remarks and contact information Additional resources Learn more about the EMS Compact “Leadership in action: The Wisdom and stories of EMS innovators”, by Donnie Woodyard Jr. “The future of emergency medical services: Artificial intelligence, technology & innovation”, by Donnie Woodyard Jr.

On this episode of the Rules of the Game podcast (the third in an eight-part, issue-specific podcast series), we'll discuss recent headlines impacting criminal legal reform advocates and explain how nonprofits can take action with legislative, executive branch, and judicial branch advocacy. From responding to legislative proposals to initiating litigation, nonprofits nationwide are standing up to fight for our rights and critical reforms to our criminal legal system. This episode will highlight their work and provide information about the rules that apply when nonprofits engage in advocacy to ensure due process, protect the rights of the accused, and improve judicial systems. Attorneys for this episode Monika Graham Melissa Marichal Zayas Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort   Show notes ·      Recent Headlines: Legislation, Litigation, and More! o   Legislation: §  Family Notification of Death, Injury, or Illness in Custody Act: Bipartisan legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate. Would require the DOJ to issue guidance on how federal prisons should promptly notify families of incarcerated individuals who become seriously ill or pass away in prison. o   Litigation §  Criminal legal reform advocates scored a win in Michigan recently, when the MI Supreme Court ruled that mandatory / automatic life without parole sentences for 19-20 year olds convicted of murder are unconstitutional. o   Executive Branch Actions: §  Earlier this year, the DOJ froze work on police reform and other civil rights cases. Now, (in the absence of DOJ leadership on these issues), the burden has shifted to local governments to take action. o   Keep on Your Radar: Trump's “Opening Salvo” in His War Against Criminal Justice Reform Starts With This Nonprofit §  The Vera Institute of Justice, a major criminal justice reform nonprofit, had all five of its federal grants—worth about $5 million—abruptly terminated by the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi, a key Trump ally. §  Evaluate your funding sources, and make sure you're not overly dependent on any one source.   ·      Non-Lobbying Advocacy o   Nonpartisan Advocacy 101: 501(c)(3)s cannot support or oppose candidates for public office, but they can… o   Educate the public about issues of importance to your organization. §  Equal Justice Initiative recently provided education related to the wrongful incarceration and conviction of black defendants in murder cases. Not only did they report on research from the National Registry of Exonerations that black Americans are nearly 8x more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder, but they noted that they are also likely to spend more years in prison than wrongfully convicted white people. o   Hold a rally: §  Earlier this year, a coalition of criminal justice reform advocates and nonprofits in New Mexico held a rally to call attention to the reality of mass incarceration and to propose common-sense alternatives to harsh prison sentences. o   Initiate or participate in litigation: §  The Innocence Project (AFJ Member) and other members of the Innocence Network, engage in litigation on behalf of wrongfully convicted persons who can be proven innocent with DNA and other types of evidence. o   Fund Advocacy §  Private and public foundations can support organizations advancing their charitable missions through general operating grants and/or specific project grants, ensuring flexibility and sustainability in pursuit of shared goals.   ·      Lobbying o   501(c)(3) public charities are also allowed to use unrestricted funds to engage in some lobbying activities. o   Tax Code Lobbying 101: Public charities can lobby, but they are limited in how much lobbying they may engage in. §  Insubstantial part test vs. 501(h) expenditure test. §  Under either test, lobbying includes attempts to influence legislation at any level of government. §  Track your local, state, and federal lobbying, and stay within your lobbying limits. o   State/local level lobbyist registration and reporting requirements may also apply when engaging in legislative and executive branch advocacy. o   Ballot measure advocacy (direct lobbying) could also implicate state / local campaign finance and election laws. o   Lobbying win! §  In March, DC Justice Lab, an AFJ member, and several other nonprofits lobbied in support of Maryland's Second Look Act by submitting testimony to the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee. This legislation would permit individuals convicted of certain crimes between the ages of 18 and 25, and have served over 20 years of their sentence, to petition the court to modify or reduce their sentence based on demonstrated rehabilitation. Since the committee's hearing, the Maryland General Assembly has passedthe Second Look Act, which now awaits Governor Moore's signature.   Resources – ·      Justice & Equity: The Advocacy Playbook for Criminal Legal Reform ·      Public Charities Can Lobby (Factsheet) ·      Practical Guidance: what your nonprofit needs to know about lobbying in your state ·      Investing in Change: A Funder's Guide to Supporting Advocacy ·      What is Advocacy? 2.0

Sitting for the National Registry exam might rank up there with colonoscopies in terms of excitement, but EMS educator Dan Limmer recently took the test. Why? To stay sharp, to keep his licenses and to see firsthand how the test has evolved. And guess what? He walked out impressed. In this episode of Inside EMS, Dan sits down with host Chris Cebollero to break down his experience, share study strategies and offer test-taking wisdom for new and seasoned medics alike. He highlights how the test isn't just a memory game — it's about judgment, application and truly understanding why you make the decisions you do in the field. From tackling the anxiety factor to navigating new question formats (hello, multi-response and scenario-based questions), Dan gives practical advice for anyone gearing up for the exam. Whether you're an EMT candidate or a veteran paramedic thinking about challenging yourself with a retest, this episode is packed with useful takeaways. Memorable quotes “Nobody ever comes out of the registry exam saying, ‘Oh, that was easy.'” “I was in awe of the way they give you a little bit of information, but then make a big ask, and the different ways they can ask questions — I just think it's a good exam.”  “If you read your book and you paid attention and did well in class, when you finish your class, your book shifts from a primary source to a reference.” RATE & REVIEW Catch a new episode of the Inside EMS podcast every Friday on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Amazon Music, Stitcher, Spotify, and RSS Feed.

It took decades for death row inmate Richard Glossip to convince Oklahomans and, later, the U.S. Supreme Court that he deserved a new trial. Glossip is just one of many inmates who say they faced convictions for crimes they did not commit. Read about enough of these cases, and you'll be asking, “Is innocence enough?”For the wrongfully convicted, tearful reunions and proclamations of justice from the courthouse steps only come after an arduous exoneration process paved with years of litigation.The average person wrongfully convicted loses a decade of their life behind bars, learning the legal system and advocating for their innocence. As the number of exonerations rise annually, there is still no way to track how many people have suffered unjust convictions.In the third episode of our fifth season, we journey through the highs and lows of post-conviction purgatory for people claiming innocence, from one Oklahoma man's hand-written petitions to a New York man who waited nearly two decades for evidence to emerge for a lawyer to take his case.Special guests:Andrea Miller, legal director of the Oklahoma Innocence ProjectMaurice Possley, researcher at the National Registry of ExonerationsJustin Brooks, co-founder of the California Innocence ProjectLaneshia Jordan, Texas attorneyJeffrey Deskovic, exoneree and attorneyMichael Grant, exoneree and assistant director of The Liberation FoundationRetired U.S. Magistrate Judge Kristen MixCarl Wyatt, Oklahoma inmate asserting innocenceThis episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

Why don't credit cards ever drown? Because they always have a float to keep them afloat!A little humor to start your day, but in reality, credit card float is no laughing matter—it can quietly put you one step behind financially and even lead to unexpected interest charges. Today, Chad Clark joins us to break down what credit card float is and how you can steer clear of its pitfalls.Chad Clark is the Executive Director of FaithFi: Faith & Finance and the co-author of Look at the Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety.What Is Credit Card Float?Credit card float refers to the period of time between when you make a purchase with your credit card and when you actually pay for it. Since using a credit card means borrowing money, this float period allows you to delay paying for purchases—often up to 55 days—without incurring interest, as long as you pay your statement balance in full by the due date.Let's say you purchase a pair of shoes on January 1st, right at the start of your billing cycle. If your statement closes on January 31st, your payment due date might be around February 25th. This means you have up to 55 days from the date of purchase to pay off the expense without interest.At first glance, credit card float sounds like a great deal—after all, you get to borrow money for free for a certain period. However, there's a hidden risk: you might unknowingly be living one paycheck behind.Here's why:If you pay your credit card statement in full each month, you may actually be using this month's income to pay off last month's expenses. This creates a cycle where you always rely on future income to cover past spending.While this system works as long as you have a steady paycheck, it can become problematic if unexpected expenses arise or your income changes.The Best Way to Avoid Credit Card FloatTo determine whether you're unintentionally riding the float, do this quick check:Add up your current credit card balances.Subtract that amount from your checking account balance.If you don't have enough in checking to cover your full credit card balance immediately, you are riding the float.This means if you lost your income tomorrow, you wouldn't be able to fully pay off what you've already spent.To stay financially secure and avoid relying on the float, follow this key principle:Always have enough money in your checking account to fully pay off your credit card balance at any time—not just the statement balance, but the full balance.That way, when your bill arrives, you can pay it without dipping into savings or waiting for your next paycheck.How the FaithFi App Can HelpMany people don't realize they're caught in the float cycle until it's too late. That's where the FaithFi app comes in.FaithFi's envelope system helps users track their spending and ensure they always have enough money set aside to pay off credit card balances in full. Users can ensure they're never one step behind financially by reconciling credit card envelopes within the app.If you want to stay on top of your spending and break free from the credit card float cycle, check out the FaithFi app at FaithFi.com or download it from your app store today.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband had heart surgery in 2021 and is now bedridden and paralyzed, so I had to quit my job to care for him full-time. I'm $20,000 in debt and trying to get help, but the process is slow. I also had a personal loan that went back up to the original $4,000 balance. What can I do in this situation? I need guidance on how to manage this.I had a 401(k) with a company I worked for about 10 years ago. When the company changed names, I kept my funds in the original 401(k) instead of transferring them. But now I can't find that old account anywhere. I've tried searching and contacting different companies but can't locate it. Do you have any recommendations on how I can find this old 401(k) account?I'm 58 and have a 3-year special catch-up contribution opportunity, during which I can contribute double the normal amount. Should I put all this extra into my 457 plan or split it between the 457 and a Roth account? I don't have much in my Roth currently, so I'm deciding whether to put some in the Roth or just contribute it all to the 457 to get the tax deduction.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineChristian Credit CounselorsUnclaimedRetirementBenefits.com (The National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits)Splitting Heirs: Giving Your Money and Things to Your Children Without Ruining Their Lives by Ron Blue with Jeremy WhiteLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In this final episode of the Juwan Deering Wrongful Arson Conviction Case, we learn even more allegations of investigatory and prosecutorial misconduct. We find out what evidence the independent investigator found indicating that Deering's rights were violated and who was allegedly responsible for those actions. In addition, we uncovered new court documents for a civil suit that sheds new light on some of the undisclosed witness testimony and offers an alternative plausible theory of how the fire started.  We also remember the victims of this horrific tragedy: Taleigha Dean, Age 10; Craig Dean, Age 8; Aaron Dean, Age 7, Eugene Dean, Age 5, and Michelle Frame, Age 11.  Special thanks to the University of Michigan Law school for providing the court transcripts for the original Juwan Deering Trial.  The National Registry of Exonerations is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at University of California Irvine, the University of Michigan Law School and Michigan State University College of Law. It was founded in 2012 in conjunction with the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law. The Registry provides detailed information about every known exoneration in the United States since 1989—cases in which a person was wrongly convicted of a crime and later cleared of all the charges based on new evidence of innocence. The Registry also maintains a more limited database of known exonerations prior to 1989.

This week we continue our coverage of the Juwan Deering wrongful conviction. Juwan Deering was a Michigan man accused of setting a fatal fire that killed 5 children in Royal Oak Township, Michigan. Deering was convicted based on now-debunked arson investigation myths but that isn't the only reason he was convicted. The prosecutor in the case stands accused of some shocking misconduct and we get into it in this episode. Could it be that political motives pushed a prosecutor violate ethics standards to secure a conviction in a mass murder that had been languishing for 6 years? We'll tell you what he's accused of doing but we can only make guesses at his motives for these alleged actions.  Special thanks to the University of Michigan Law school for providing the court transcripts for the original Juwan Deering Trial.  The National Registry of Exonerations is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at University of California Irvine, the University of Michigan Law School and Michigan State University College of Law.

Juwan Deering was charged and convicted for setting a fire at a home that killed five children. However, investigators based their determination of how the fire began on now-debunked arson investigation myths. Juwan Deering was seen by investigators and the court system in a negative light and as a result he did not receive a fair trial nor did investigators behave in an ethical manner in prosecuting the case.

In this episode of The Standard of Care podcast, hosts Samantha Johnson and Nick Adams delve into the complex legal framework of patient consent in EMS. What happens when a patient refuses care, even in life-threatening situations? How should EMS professionals navigate the fine line between consent, implied consent, and refusal, all while staying within the legal boundaries? Samantha quizzes Nick on real-world scenarios, offering practical insights on handling refusals, informed consent, and what EMS providers need to know about patient capacity.Whether you're a seasoned paramedic, new to the field, or just brushing up for the National Registry exam, this episode offers valuable knowledge on critical issues you may face. Get actionable advice, hear relatable examples, and understand the nuances that could impact your next decision. Tune in now to explore this important topic—and remember, you can find The Standard of Care wherever you listen to podcasts or on our website at flightbridgeed.com/explore. While you're there, check out our award-winning courses designed to enhance your professional skills and knowledge.Key Takeaways:Understanding patient capacity is critical in determining whether you can proceed with care, even if consent is initially given. If a patient has capacity, their refusal must be respected, even in life-threatening situations.Implied consent allows EMS providers to intervene in emergencies when a patient is unconscious or unable to give explicit consent, but only within the necessary scope of care.Informed refusals are equally important as informed consent. EMS professionals must ensure patients fully understand the risks of refusing care and document everything thoroughly.

[00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm so excited to introduce you to my guest, Dr. Shoreh Ershadi. With over 40 years of expertise in clinical biochemistry and pharmacology, Dr. Ershadi stands at the forefront of scientific innovation in the field of nutraceuticals and supplements.

I'm so excited to speak with you. [00:01:51] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Thank you for having me. I'm very excited to talk to you, especially that you're going to talk about medical technology. And that is something that I have been doing or working at for, I would say over 30 years, easy. 1988, I got my license in California. So it's what, 32 years? [00:02:17] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. Oh my goodness. Well, this leads perfectly into my first question and that is, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your background and how you got into medtech? [00:02:29] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Okay. That is interesting because I was born in Iran and I studied pharmacology. And before I was graduated, the Department of Health in Iran was hiring pharmacists, pharmacologists. So we all went and took the exam and we passed the exam. We were still at the final stages of doing the thesis and going through final stages of graduation. And then they called me and a few other people for an interview. Apparently I had a high mark in the test, which I did not know. So when we went for the interview, and I went to an American school and then later to a British school in Iran, so I was speaking English. At the interview, there was a gentleman who was back in Iran from United States, and he was a PhD in clinical biochemistry, and he asked me to read something in English. And I read it, and he thought that I had it by heart or something, so he flipped the book and found a more difficult page and said, "Okay, read this," and I read that, and he said, "Okay, I'm hiring you for the reference lab." I had absolutely no clue what he was talking about, what was reference lab. I had no intention to even work for Department of Health because I was not even graduated at that time. And then they said, "Okay, start on such and such date." And when I went there the first day, he said he spoke in English and he said, "You're overqualified." Oh my God. What? I mean, it was funny. Without even planning to get into laboratory, I got into the reference lab of Department of Health. And what he was planning to do was to bring College of American Pathologists, the proficiency testing to all the laboratories in Iran. And he wanted someone who would speak English and who could communicate. So first day of my job, I wrote a letter to College of American Pathologists and I said, "Hi, hello, I'm Shoreh Ershadi, I want to buy a thousand proficiency kits." And of course they responded. So just like that, I got into clinical laboratory. And I became the Director of the Quality Control for Department of Health. And that was before the revolution. So, that was my exciting start into laboratory. [00:05:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's an incredible story. Thank you for sharing that. And [00:05:28] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Not voluntarily, but serendipitously, yes. [00:05:34] Lindsey Dinneen: There you go. So then at some point, you came to the U. S. and was that transition really difficult? Was it frustrating? Were you excited? Nervous? [00:05:47] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: There was a part in between before coming to U. S. There was another test by W. H. O., World Health Organization. So I took that test and I passed that test and I got a scholarship to go to medical school in England to do a master's degree. And when I went there, I told them, "I already have a doctorate in pharmacology. I don't want master's. I want to do PhD." And after a few weeks, they said, "Okay, fine, go to PhD. You don't need to do master." So I was in England for about four years. I did my PhD in clinical biochemistry. And I went back to Iran. That was exactly during the revolution. So while I was studying in England, the country in Iran was on fire. It was, things going crazy everywhere. But I went back and I got married. I had my son in Iran, and I was working in a clinical laboratory in one of the best hospitals in Iran, and it got very difficult for women to work. They were saying, " Now you have to wear a scarf. Now, you can't see male patients, you can only talk to female patients." It was not right. So, 1984, I came to United States, I came to California, and with some friends in Iran who had a clinical laboratory, and they were here before me and had started a lab in Orange County, California. I started a branch of the lab in Westwood, in Los Angeles. So that was my first job or position and that was my entrepreneurial side, which now I wouldn't dare to start a life, but then I did. [00:07:51] Lindsey Dinneen: You didn't know the difference then. [00:07:53] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Well, yes, I didn't know. I mean, it was a lot easier, I would say. At that point. The lab was not even accepting Medicare or Medi Cal. It was private insurance. I was doing the billing. I was getting the information. I was drawing the patients. I was separating the samples and sending them to the reference lab that was actually running the tests. But I was doing stat CBCs and I was in a medical building and so all the doctors were so nice to send the samples down to me. It worked. So [00:08:33] Lindsey Dinneen: Amazing. Oh my. [00:08:34] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Amazing. Yes. Now it sounds really amazing. It's surreal in a way. Yeah. [00:08:42] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. Well, so, so with that lab and embracing this entrepreneurial journey, and I'm so thankful it worked out so well for you, but were there any moments where you just thought, okay, I've, I, you have such an amazing background. You're so highly educated, you're brilliant. And then you're starting this entrepreneurial journey, which is kind of a different skill set in a way. How was that transition of becoming kind of your own boss and being in charge of everything? [00:09:12] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: That was pure ignorance. I mean, now I can say then, I thought I knew what I was doing, but it was a fast learning. First that I was in a different country, that I had never been in the United States. Second, that I had a three year old son that I brought with me and my then husband never came, so I got a divorce and I became a single mom. So, and nobody else was from my family was here. So it was very difficult because I had to take him to daycare and then come work and then go pick him up. And then there was a war, the Iraq war had started in Iran and my parents were in Iran and I was going through a divorce, so it was turmoil. And I had to work and learn in a way it was good because it didn't give me time to think about anything else. It was just forward, no looking sideways, no looking backwards. It was just moving forward. But then again, something else happened that made it even more interesting. One of the days that I was at the lab, some guy came and said, "CDL, Central Diagnostic Lab, is looking for a technical director and they've asked me to come and talk to you." I had absolutely no clue if anyone knew me or knew of me or it was the, I mean, a lot of things happened, which, I mean, I'm happy now, but then it changed my life tremendously. And I don't think I've ever talked to anyone about this in this detail. So, Lindsey, I would say you're the first person I'm telling the story of my life. But anyways, I went for an interview and I got hired right away. I had the lab, so I hired someone to do the work that I was doing in the lab. And then I started working at CDL, Central Diagnostic Labs, which was the largest privately owned lab in the United States at that time. There were 1, 200 employees. So that was a very interesting experience on its own because I was introduced to a world that I did not even know what was going on. So, and that was during AIDS testing. Bio-Rad had just come up with Western blot testing and we did the clinical trial, which was very easy in those days. We had AIDS patients and we had a lot of AIDS samples accumulated or saved frozen and we used them to validate the Western blot by Bio-Rad and I went on National TV 1988 and I said, "CDL is the first lab in the world that is doing a confirmation for HIV AIDS testing." So then, that was major. [00:12:40] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. [00:12:43] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: But then, then my family came. My father passed away here. It was, again, a lot of complications going on. And one of the other people that I knew asked me to go and partner with them in a lab. Again, my entrepreneurial part took over and I went for the partnership, and I started from scratch. I started Path Labs practically from scratch. There were two pathologists working with Los Alamitos Hospital, and I went there and I started a lab from just buying test tubes, buying, from absolutely nothing. I was there for six years, I think. six or eight years with Path Labs. That was not so successful. After that, I went to Specialty Labs, which is now Quest. Specialty wanted to start a toxicology lab. So, Path Lab was sold. But there was no money made with the partnership and all that. So that was not a very successful six, eight years of my life. Specialty was good. I went to Specialty and I started Department of Toxicology. I don't know if you remember or you were familiar with specialty. Dr. Peters was there and he was the founder, James Peters. He did only immunology testing. They would receive samples and send out everything else to other labs and only do the immunological tests or some specialty tests. When I started the toxicology department, we started getting samples from all over the world. We were running heavy metals and all that. We had an ICP MS and I started running ICP, and the main test that I developed there was measuring iron in the liver biopsy of patients with hemochromatosis. So we would get one spot, in tip of the needle of the liver and then do a measurement and measure the amount of toxicity with iron in hemochromatosis, which was great. I wrote a paper and we were working with Mayo Clinic and they developed the test. So that was very exciting. Then I started the automated lab because all the chemistry. And all the hematology was going out, was sent out. So that brought a lot of money into the lab, but that was not my lab. It was Dr. Peter's lab. It was wonderful. It was nice. But he was the entrepreneur there. So in the year 2000, I started ANTIAGING Institute of California. After passing the specialist chemist license in California, I got National Registry in Certified Chemistry, Certified Toxicology, and then I took the board exam with American Academy of Antiaging Medicine. And that was again entrepreneurial and I started the company, that would be 25 years ago. I've done a lot of consultation. I've been director of lab during COVID. I went back to city health. And I was Director of City Health running 4, 000 COVID patients a night for airports, for schools, for traveling, for a lot of stuff. And then I worked with Siemens Healthineers on regulations for IVDR. So all the kits that Siemens had, over 700 reagent kits that were sold to the laboratories, they need to get the CE mark to be able to be sold in Europe under the new IVDR regulations. And a lot of it had to go through FDA as well because FDA had to approve if there were any changes made to the kits. So I've done a lot of regulation works. I've done a lot of hands on COVID tests, covered it all. Actually, something else that was very interesting. And this, for MedTechs, I would think this would be interesting to know that it's not just one position. And there's so much you can do, if you want to expand your horizon. For about a year, I helped set up extremely high complex laboratory for testing mother's milk, for making milk bank from mother's milk for NICU for children who were born early and the formulas did not work with them. Some of them were so tiny, less than a pound. And so mother's milk bank, it's called Prolacta Bioscience, the company. And I worked there to establish the clinical lab and to get a license for clear and stuff like that. So. [00:18:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh! [00:18:21] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: A lot of good work going into my up and down career, I would say. [00:18:28] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Well, first of all, I'm so honored that you were willing to share so much with me. That is. I really appreciate it. And I really appreciate you being willing to talk about some of the amazing moments you've had and the really high, " Yay, we did this," but also some of the moments where it was a little bit tougher and even you being honest and transparent about, the one company didn't do as well as you would have hoped, but you kept going and you are a living testament to resilience and adaptation. [00:18:59] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: There is no other choice. I would hope that people would have many choices. I mean, you always make choices in life. Even now, this is a choice to talk to you and I appreciate the opportunity because, if I would choose or if I wouldn't know about you, that would be a totally different episode in my life. So I'm open to take chances. You can say that with my experience, living in three different continents and moving and just leaving Iran and coming to us with a three year old, not being here ever before. And then, just jumping in and, but there was no other choice except for moving forward, or we can say, except for success. Because failure was not an option. What would I do? There was nowhere to go back. Sometimes you may have an option to make a U turn and say, "Okay, I don't like this. I want to do something else. I want to stay home." There was no option, no going back. So it was only forward. [00:20:09] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, absolutely. So, coming here and like you said, having to move forward and I appreciated what you said, you kind of, you couldn't look to the side, you couldn't look back. You had to keep moving forward. How did you go about building a community that could support you, that you could be friends with, and colleagues with, and feel supported coming in from, not having that. [00:20:36] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: And that was not very difficult. There were many difficult times during that, that I mean, I don't mind talking about it, being a woman, being a young woman, being from a different background there was a lot of resistance. And I see that today as well. I mean, I can't say, "Oh, here I'm in L. A. and Los Angeles is so easy." It's not. I am hoping that women would not maybe experience all the difficulties that I went through. But we're talking about 40 years ago. I came to The States actually July 22nd would be exactly 40 years. I left Iran July 1st, 1984. So this is the 40th anniversary. Being a woman, I thought, when I went to England one of the first things, the professor was my direct supervisor when I worked with him. And I know you can see my face. This is 40 years later. I have no claims, but the professor told me, "You're a beautiful woman. Why do you want to study? Why are you here for PhD?" And I thought that was the greatest insult in my life. So I fought with that professor for four years. [00:22:15] Lindsey Dinneen: No, I'm sorry. [00:22:17] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: That wasn't easy, but it was so difficult to prove that I am not just a woman or a pretty girl or a young girl or a young woman, or. That was a major fight. I would say that was as difficult as fighting the revolution in Iran, because you wouldn't expect a British professor to say that to you. And I was the only girl, a PhD student, all the others were guys, and this was medical school. And to me, that was very surprising because when I went to University of Tehran, we had probably more girls than guys in the class. Girls were very prone to education in Iran, and they still are. There's still, I think, 60, 65 percent girls in universities, even here. But to hear that was very difficult. That experience repeated itself. in United States over and over till today that I can say I don't feel old. I'm antiaging, but now that I'm an old woman, I still feel that I have to prove myself that I am equal. And sometimes I would say I'm better, but, just to be honest and modest, you want to be treated equal. And that is very difficult. [00:23:53] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And As much as I would wish things were improving rapidly, I'm not so sure that they are, but what have you found has been helpful in terms of, helping people understand who might come with a bias, but who, helping those people understand, "No I have this education. I am very capable." What are some strategies that you have found that have worked really well for you? [00:24:22] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Not many. I have to be honest with you. I mean, if there are a few people, few women, a few even men who are, would be following the conversation, I want them to know that this is not easy. And maybe a part of my success is that I'm a fighter. And I didn't surrender, but I didn't smile my way up. I fought with everyone that went in that direction. And I don't want to get into details, but many of the stronger men would think that if they flirt with you, if they take you out, if they buy dinner for you, then you're going to do what they say. And my story is, just, I have my guards up and I fought. I wouldn't recommend people to fight. Maybe they can find a better solution. I did not find many. Maybe the reason of working separate and starting my own company, maybe one of the major reasons was that I would not have to say yes to power that I did not want to say yes. I worked very hard. I worked hard, long hours. Medtechs, you have to stay there to get the results out. One Christmas. I stayed from December 24th for I would say 72 hours in the lab, maybe two, three hours shower and sleep and go back because we had a lot of toxicology tests that were waiting and results had to go out. And the probe in the I-C-P-M-S was broken. There was no one to replace it during Christmas. It was, we had to borrow from somewhere, FedEx shipping it. Those things happen, you know that, and you have to work hard. It wasn't an easy journey to say, "Oh, I worked four hours a day." And they said, "Thank you. You're so good. Go home." It wasn't like that. [00:26:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Right. Right. Yeah. Well, thank you. I appreciate you sharing that. And so one thing that was really interesting to me, I was looking at your LinkedIn profile and I see that art is a big part of your life in addition to the science and I saw you listed painting and sculpting and I'm wondering how-- well a couple of things-- how did you first get involved in art? And secondly, do you feel that is helpful in terms of having a sort of therapeutic thing to do that kind of maybe helps with some of those harder moments where it's a little frustrating? [00:27:23] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Very helpful. But I was as a kid, I started painting at a very young age. And I was always coloring and painting and making things and all that. And my father, a very educated father, he had two master's degree from a University of Texas and came back to Iran. And that's why, we spoke English and we went to English school. So my father was educated and open minded, I can say. But he always said that "You should study art. And don't go to medicine, you'll get old." He passed away in 1988, and I always, when I started Antiaging, I always said "Okay, if you're looking, you will see that I'm antiaging, I didn't age, I went to medical school, I did all the studies." But my logic, first that I love to do this, I mean, it wasn't just you know, forcing myself. I love science. And to this day I do a lot of research. I play with science. You can see the labels are all fancy. I do the paintings. I do all of that. But my logic, more than being scientific, was that this was a career and art would not be a self supporting career, even at younger age. But I always said that if I was a doctor, I could paint, but if I was an artist, I could not do the scientific part or the medical part that I was interested in. But after the divorce, I was in a relationship for 14 years. And I was working hard, raising a son, being a single mother and all that. When that relationship ended after 14 years, the art just popped out. I started painting, sculpting. It was not under control. You can see that, things happen to me, things come out in a certain period. Maybe, I push them down, force them to stay within me, and then they just pop out in different directions. So art came out itself. But there was a period in between that there was no art. Maybe there was too much stress. Maybe there was a lot of, and right now there's no art. Right now it's more entrepreneurial, starting, scientific, all that. But the art pops out every now and then. [00:30:07] Lindsey Dinneen: That's great. Yeah. So speaking of, what you're doing now, I was wondering if you could share a little bit about your company and maybe what you're excited about for its future as you continue along this path. [00:30:19] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Okay. That is, this is now where all the passion is. So everything that I have forced inside for all my life is now just coming out into Apoptosis. Apoptosis is a Greek word and it means "falling of the leaves." In science apoptosis, if you Google it, you'll see it means "programmed cell death." So in our bodies in creation or creator or whichever you wanna put it, and I'm sure being a medtech and all the audience, they know there are thousands of reactions inside the body are happening for me just to sit here and breathe and talk. There are thousands and thousands of enzymes and catalysts and metals and oh, whatever is going on. Programmed cell death or apoptosis is a main part of survival. So it's the future of antiaging because we all-- first of all that life expectancy is much longer now. Longevity is longer and younger people do not want to get old. So, at some point I would say my grandmother's generation and my mother is now 95 years old and she's, thank God, healthy and walking and all that, but even she does not want to get old. So, the image of being old and sick is combined together. But we can age without being sick, without getting Alzheimer's, without losing our memory, without getting all these different kinds of diseases. And one major problem is cancer that was much higher with older people and now the statistic is showing that cancer is happening in younger and younger generations. So what apoptosis does is that it's a program in the body. I did not make it. I wish I did, but it's happening all the time. And apoptosis is getting rid of cancer cells, getting rid of damaged cells, getting rid of neurons that cannot connect and synapses with other neurons to take the message over. So if we encourage apoptosis, then all the damaged cells are removed just like falling leaves. They're removed from the body and they're replaced with new energized healthy new cells. Every 10 years, our entire body is regenerated. So why do we get old? We should always stay at a 10 year age. So at 20 years old, we have recycled cells that even though we're growing, growth and youth is defined as between 20 to 25. From 25 to 30, it's sort of stable. There's a plateau. After 30, we start the aging process. So now, as 30 to 60, is still considered not so deep slip going down. It's sort of a plateau up to 60. And then after 60, 70, 80, 90, people are beginning to age. And it shows, I mean, with different diseases, with wrinkles, with memory loss, with all that. So what I'm doing, I'm using nature's product, plant based products, and this has been proven in science that these plants support apoptosis. So, as we get older, just like all the other reactions, apoptosis does not happen at its ultimate way that it should happen. But if we encourage it, for example, we have here, this one is brain beet. This is all beet roots, and it's an organic product. It's all plant based, but it releases nitric oxide. And it works the same way that Viagra works, but it opens all the arteries, it opens the circulation to the brain, to the heart, so why not use it? Why not promote apoptosis the way nature has programmed it in our body, just help it to work better. So that is all my passion right now. [00:35:28] Lindsey Dinneen: Excellent. Excellent. Well, I love that. Thank you for sharing a little bit about it. I'm excited for our listeners to go and learn more about it and, see how they can maybe also take part in the antiaging movement. [00:35:41] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Yes, they can partner with us and I would be thrilled. Actually, this is something that maybe I have learned during the long life experience, is that the more partners you have, the more friends you have, the more you share your knowledge, the better it is. Because at some point, it was like people wanted to keep everything to themselves and they didn't want to share or, but right now it's totally different. If they go to Apoptosis.us, they can go to the science section, they can read the papers. And if they would like to partner, I'll be thrilled to work with as many people as possible and take the message out. Yeah, this is a healthy message. This is something that we should all be talking about. [00:36:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Indeed, we should. Yes. Thank you. Well, pivoting the conversation just for fun, imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a master class on anything you want. It can be in your industry, but it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:36:56] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Well, the million dollar would be great. [00:36:59] Lindsey Dinneen: Indeed. [00:37:00] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Yes. Yeah. Would we all want that. But yes, I think that right now, as I said, I would use the million dollars to talk about apoptosis all over because I see even young children, every time I see St. Jude's children, and thank you for your donation to Save the Children. I admire that. And I'm hoping that all the children in the world would have a good, healthy future. The world is crazy. You can look at it right now and see that, I can say my experience has been crazy. It doesn't get any better. It's always up and down. Things are happening all over everywhere in the world. And I would like to talk about health, talk about antiaging, talk about Apoptosis and educate more and more of the young people to learn and to avoid all the toxins that we are creating and we have created, with what we're doing with industry and go back to a plant based life, go back to nature, enjoy nature, go back to art, if possible, all the good things that we can do with our lives. [00:38:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, absolutely. And then, how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:38:29] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Oh, wow. That's a very difficult... a fighter? Survivor? Yep. Strong women? I would support women all the way. Now in Iran, they're saying, Woman Life Freedom. I'm sure you've heard about that. And I cannot tolerate, to see women covered all over with a window to see outside. To me, that is very disturbing. So I would like to see equal opportunity for women and I would like to maybe be remembered as a survivor. [00:39:14] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, absolutely. And then, final question, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:39:24] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Oh, my granddaughter and my grandson. Yes, I have a five year old granddaughter. Her name is Julia and she is my sunshine. She is my life. The grandson is three months old. He's still too young, but he's getting there. [00:39:45] Lindsey Dinneen: Aw! [00:39:48] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Getting emotional. [00:39:51] Lindsey Dinneen: I'm so glad. It's that's beautiful. That's wonderful. [00:39:56] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Yes, that is continuation of the fight. That is when you see that what you've done is worth the fight, worth the hard work. [00:40:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. Absolutely. Yes. Well, this has been amazing. I so appreciate you telling your story and sharing some of it that maybe you haven't done before, and that's I feel very honored. [00:40:23] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Yes. [00:40:24] Lindsey Dinneen: Thank you. Thank you for trusting me. [00:40:28] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Well, thank you for bringing all of this out. This has been sitting there suffocating, maybe. [00:40:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:40:37] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Thank you. [00:40:38] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. And we are so honored, you mentioned this, but to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to Save the Children, which works to end the cycle of poverty by ensuring communities have the resources to provide children with a healthy, educational, and safe environment. So thank you for choosing that organization to support. And we just wish you the most continued success as you work to change lives for a better world. [00:41:06] Dr. Shoreh Ershadi: Thank you so much, and thank you for having me, and thank you for making me tell the story. Thank you, Lindsey. [00:41:15] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. And thank you also so much to our listeners for tuning in. And if you're feeling as inspired as I am right now, I would love if you would share this episode with a colleague or two, and we'll catch you next time.

Jessica Henry's Smoke But No Fire: Convicting the Innocent of Crimes that Never Happened (U California Press, 2021) explores a shocking but all-too-common kind of wrongful conviction: wrongful convictions for crimes that never actually happened. Henry's meticulously-researched book sheds light on how the US criminal justice system makes it possible to convict people of nonexistent crimes. By tracing this issue from first interactions with the police, to encounters with legal professionals, to judges' verdicts, and beyond, Henry's analysis explains in heartbreaking detail the impacts of convictions without a crime on those convicted and their families—as well as what this means for US criminal law. Drawing from Henry's own experience working for many years as a public defender, Smoke But No Fire will be of great interest to legal professionals, students, organizers, and anyone interested in criminal law. Jessica Henry is a Professor in the Department of Justice Studies at Montclair State University. Previously, she worked as a public defender in New York City for nearly ten years. Her research focuses on the US criminal justice system, particularly wrongful convictions, severe sentences, and hate crimes. Rine Vieth is an incoming FRQSC Postdoctoral Fellow at Université Laval.

You've heard of Salem, Massachusetts - a town infamously known across the world for the horrendous Salem Witch trials and the falsely accused men and women who were sentenced to death for practicing witchcraft, but have you heard of its neighbor, Marblehead, Massachusetts? Marblehead is full of charm and it happens to be Sabrina's new home.  Crooked streets, lopsided houses, a picturesque Americana town that inspired horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft - Marblehead is charming, rich with history of daring sea captains, pioneers in industry and the most historic homes in a United States town, but it is also flooded with history and haunts. The energy is palpable. And if you're a fan of Hocus Pocus, you'll recognize the Old Burial Hill (a Marblehead cemetery) from the film -- it's the cemetery in which Max gets his sneakers stolen. A screeching woman, a white wizard, accused witches, haunted schools, and so many other hauntings occur in this small town...  Despite their independence from Salem, Marblehead was plagued by the neighboring Witch Trials and one resident, Wilmot Redd, was found guilty of witchcraft and executed by hanging on September 22, 1692 in Salem, MA. A plaque is dedicated in her owner at the Old Burial Hill Cemetery -- a historic Puritan burial ground that was established in 1638 and is known to be haunted. People report hearing disembodied voices and footsteps or seeing shadow figures and apparitions. Marblehead is also home to one of the oldest coastal forts in the United States -- the Old Fort Seawall -- which was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in April of 1975.

Welcome to The Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS!This episode was recorded on location in Washington, D.C., from the U.S. Park Police aviation hangar, as part of The Hangar Z Vertical Valor Road tour.  We felt this was a great episode to release on Independence Day, the Fourth of July, 2024, which is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence, which was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, establishing the United States of America. Jack Schonely and Brent Bundy from Vertical Valor Magazine were invited into the U.S. Park Police Aviation hangar to see firsthand the good work they are doing as they protect the U.S. capital and its surrounding areas. We had the privilege of talking to and flying with the assistant commander of the aviation Unit, Sgt Tim Ryan, and chief pilot Sgt Ryan Evasick. Sgt Ryan began his career with the United States Park Police in 2004. After three years as a patrol officer, he transitioned to the Aviation Unit in 2008. Sgt Ryan has held multiple roles within the unit, including rescue technician, chief rescue technician, and currently, assistant commander. His extensive training includes qualifications as a National Registry paramedic, tactical medic, and expertise in swiftwater rescue and high and low angle technical rescue. Originally from New Hampshire, Sgt Ryan now resides in Maryland with his family.Sgt Evasick is the chief pilot for the U.S. Park Police. With 21 years of law enforcement experience and flying for the U.S. Park Police since 2013, Sgt Evasick holds commercial helicopter, certified flight instructor (CFI), and certified flight instructor instrument (CFII) ratings. His family includes his wife, a mental health clinician for the Virginia Department of Corrections; his son, a former U.S. Marine; and two beloved grandchildren.Look out for photos, videos, and an article by Brent Bundy highlighting the U.S. Park Police on Verticalmag.com and the Vertical YouTube page. We're excited to dive into their experiences, insights, and the incredible work they do with the U.S. Park Police Aviation Unit. So, let's get started and welcome Sgt Tim Ryan and Sgt Ryan Evasick to the Hangar Z Podcast!Thank you to our sponsors Bell, Collins Aerospace and Precision Aviation Group.

“If the walls could talk, they would probably say ‘Sit a spell, sit down, have a cocktail. Talk to your neighbor.' One of the things that's really special that hasn't changed about High Hampton is the sense of ‘love your neighbor'. Get to know who's at the inn with you while you're here. Sit out in the lobby and play board games together. Walk the lake trail together. I think there's something really special about the people who are here, who come as strangers and leave as friends, and then continue to come back.” We're in great company with Scott & April Franqueza, Executive Chef & Pastry Chef of the iconic High Hampton Estate. A part of the National Registry of Historic Places, this American treasure recently was thoughtfully restored by the Beall family behind Blackberry Farm, and is ready once again to welcome another century of guests. Before coming to Blue Ridge Mountains to create the culinary focused and craft filled landmark for the High Hampton community that they've curated today, Scott and April left accredited culinary careers in New York City in search for a slower way of life - a slower way of sourcing and cooking food. They found themselves in good company working with the Beall family for many years across Blackberry Farm and Blackberry Mountain's renowned dining destinations before saying “yes” to lead this new adventure.  As we celebrate the Fourth of July, Scott and April surprise us with so many sweet stories and savory details in how they are making this celebrated destination and dedicated community their home.  Top Takeaways [1:50] A glimpse into the fairytale storybook, or shall we say cookbook, that tells the love of a baker and a chef who met at the Culinary Institute of America in New York many moons ago.  [7:05] April & Scott's early culinary careers were humble and hungry. To steal a line from Frank Sinatra, “If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere; it's up to you, New York, New York.”  [10:30] At Blackberry Farm, the Beall Family welcomed April & Scott with southern charm to their sprawling farm in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, inviting them to take part in crafting their impeccable service and outstanding cuisine, as one of the most celebrated small luxury resorts in the world.  [19:40] After several years of renovations, High Hampton reopened in 2021 with a sense of familiarity, a feeling of homecoming, a welcoming energy that was complimented with added and elevated amenities.  [22:25] Discover modern luxuries and family traditions abound across the estate, snuggle up next to a roaring fireplace with a board game or lace up your tennis shoes for a round of pickleball, enjoy an afternoon of fresh air on the golf course or sneak into the wine cellar for a wine tasting.  [28:30] Dine In Good Company Scott & April across an assortment of restaurants, from fine dining to casual lunches, quick bites that turn into grand gatherings, each featuring classic, regional cuisine, re-imagined for a new era of travelers. [35:00] How the team at High Hampton is cultivating future hospitality and culinary talent while also building small businesses through the relationships with their local community. [42:40] There's always something to celebrate at High Hampton from 4th of July fireworks and summertime family movie nights to apple cider donuts after the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, from warm baked cookies with Mrs. Claus by the fireside to a Champagne and caviar toast at midnight on NYE.  Notable Mentions Café Boulud by Daniel Boloud Per Se by Thomas Keller Magnolia Bakery Dominique Ansel  Chef Gavin Kaysen Chef Aaron Bludorn Chef Frank Stitt Glenn Roberts of Anson Mills Evan Chender, The Culinary Gardener Banner Small-Batch Butter Sunburst Trout Farms Providence Farmstead Simpson's Meats Western Carolina University  Whiteside Brewing Co.

When a beloved five-year-old falls victim to a brutal homicide, authorities quickly close in on a suspect no one could have predicted – a 12-year-old neighbor. But members of the community have their doubts, which are only heightened when prosecutorial misconduct is uncovered, leaving everyone to ask: did investigators go after the right person? Or did tunnel vision lead them to victimize yet another child?If you have any information about the murder of Devan Duniver in June of 1998 in New Philadelphia, Ohio, please contact the NPPD at 330-343-4488.If you would like more information about the National Registry of Exonerations, or to join us in supporting them, please visit this link.

Hosts Bradley Dean and David Blevins bring on Kelly Kirk discussed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on EMS education, the shift to online education, and the challenges and potential solutions in online education, particularly in the context of skills-based courses. They also explored the concept of competency-based medical education, the use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in education, and the importance of intrinsic motivation and flexibility in response to changing circumstances. Lastly, they discussed the upcoming changes in the National Registry and issues related to their respective states, agreeing to further discuss these in the future.

2A Tuesday with Mark Walters, host of Armed American Radio, joins Marc & Kim to talk about how VP Harris says they have closed the gun show loop hole.  Both feel there would need to be a registry to make that work.  Mark & Marc also talk about Tennessee allowing teachers to be able to carry in school.

“This is a moment of grace in our lives. People have come to visit us and we're going to share these people and these stories and whatever this time brings. Then they'd get up, say their goodbyes and my grandparents would go back to work. But at Seminary Hill what I wanted to do was make that sense of leisure and openness available to guests, whether they're coming to Seminary Hill to drink cider or to have a meal or to see friends.” We're in great company with Susan Manning and Doug Doetsch, owners of Seminary Hill in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains in New York. Here they have created, curated and stewarded a boutique hotel, restaurant and private event space to coincide with their proudly local and intently sustainable, orchard and cidery - inviting parched guests and passersby alike to experience the agricultural heritage of their land. With five generations of family members tending to this land and hosting travelers passing through, Doug and Susan returned to commemorate and reinvigorate this sense of place - but with a creative and collaborative twist. Recruiting community members and instilling regenerative practices to create the World's First Passive House-Certified Cidery for all to savor - whether during a stay or simply passing through.  In this episode, Susan and Doug give us a sweet taste of why Condé Nast Traveler has coined Seminary Hill as “James Fenimore Cooper's America with a dash of Tuscany.”  Top Takeaways [1:50] Back in the mid 1800s apple orchards were not planted for city folk to go apple picking or for that perfect Thanksgiving apple pie. They were for making cider…the cheapest form of alcohol and a drink safer than water.   [10:25] While Susan and Doug pursued careers in Chicago, they were called home to the Catskills to steward their family's land as it was in a “pre consumer culture” and yet to gentrify the town, curating a community of creatives with innovative ideas.  [13:10] Hospitality at Seminary Hill is a simple, timeless and selfless act of inviting passersby to sit on a porch in a rocking chair, having a conversation with a cold drink in hand.  [16:15] Seminary Hill is the world's first “Passive House-Certified Cidery.” What makes it “Passive House” you ask? [23:10] Stay in good company at the Boarding House on the National Registry of Historic Places and dine in good company at the Tasting Room overlooking the Seminary Hill orchard, savoring the smells, sights, and sounds of 60 varieties of apple trees and their entire holistic ecosystem. [45:00] Over the years, planting trees and putting them to bed has become a sort of “barn raising” tradition for the family and friends of Seminary Hill.

While the tragic loss of two young lives was particularly shocking, the Career Girl Murders is better remembered as one of the most egregious cases of police coercion and abuse in the state's history. Eight months after the murder, investigators arrested nineteen-year-old George Whitmore, an intellectually disabled day laborer from whom they elicited a false confession, not only for the murder of Hoffert and Wylie, but also for the murder of a single mother in Brooklyn. Eight more months would pass before the charges against Whitmore were dropped, and several more years before police arrested Wylie and Hoffert's real killer, twenty-two-year-old drug addict and burglar Richard Robles. The murders of Emily Hoffert and Janice Wylie were just two of several high-profile New York City murders that reshaped how wealthy and middle-class white people thought of urban life in the 1960s. More importantly, however, it's more important legacy is the extent to which it shined a light on how race and class can influence a police investigation and jury verdict, and how justice can be delayed or diverted in the interest of efficiency and the illusion of safety.ReferencesAnderson, David. 1965.

On August 28, 1963, Patricia Tolles returned home from work to find her New York City apartment ransacked, a bloody knife in the bathroom, and her roommates, Emily Hoffert and Janice Wylie, nowhere to be found. Patricia went to the lobby and called Janice's father, Max Wylie, who came over immediately and searched the apartment, finding the bodies of his daughter and Hoffert in one of the bedrooms. Labeled by the press as the “Career Girl Murders,” the murders of Wylie and Hoffert shook the relatively quiet Upper East Side neighborhood and left many residents—particularly young women—feeling vulnerable and afraid.

Want to follow along with us on video? Click here to go to the Youtube version and see the slides! Dr. Alan Weinstein, AKA, "Dr. Al", is one of Reed's mentors and best friends. In addition to that, he has an extensive background in healthcare as well as marketing. Interestingly, it's the marketing side of his background which is why we invited him on the show today! Of the many things that go into health coaching businesses, it's often the business stuff that many coaches are least looking forward to. That is, the average health coach LOVES talking about various dietary approaches, looking at and analyzing labs, as well as guiding people along their journey to new and improved health! However, when it comes to actually attracting those clients they otherwise love to work with, that part can get a bit messy. In comes Dr. Al! During this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, Dr. Al helps us understand the psychology behind why some clients say "Yes", and why others say "No". And, just to be clear, this does NOT MEAN this is an episode on how to sell people expensive health coaching packages that they DIDN'T NEED OR WEREN'T READY FOR. What we are referring to specifically in this episode is how to get people who you KNOW you can help and who you realize would be EXCELLENT for your program to say YES so that both you and the client can win.  Does all this sound good? Then the episode itself will sound even better! Listen now and let us know what you think or ask us questions by reaching out on Instagram @fdntraining.  About Dr. Al: Alan S. Weinstein, D.C. ran a state of the art, waiting list multidisciplinary, multi-physician practice for over twenty five years, combining neurology, radiology, exercise rehabilitation, biochemistry, Chinese medicine, acupuncture and chiropractic.

On this week's episode of Gin & Justice the gals chat about some current events including spiking burrito bowls and sketchy NARK kits.   Then they chat with Meghan and Jessica from the National Registry of Exonerations!The National Registry of Exonerations is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at University of California Irvine, the University of Michigan Law School and Michigan State University College of Law. It was founded in 2012 in conjunction with the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law. The Registry provides detailed information about every known exoneration in the United States since 1989—cases in which a person was wrongly convicted of a crime and later cleared of all the charges based on new evidence of innocence. The Registry also maintains a more limited database of known exonerations prior to 1989."For more information of the National Registry of Exonerations:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/about.aspxTO DONATE TO THE REGISTRY:https://funraise.org/give/National-Registry-of-Exonerations/49d88db1-4a88-433c-a0ab-3a4453535ba8/Other Source Material:https://apple.news/A7g7DPpBkScC9g-iOuHk1Ighttps://suncommunitynews.com/news/106122/inspector-general-flaws-in-prison-drugs-tests-found/Don't forget to leave us a review and follow us on social media!https://www.ginandjusticepodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/GinAndJustice/IG: @ginandjusticepodcastTwitter: Gin_JusticePodTikTok: Gin_and_Justice

The Registry provides detailed information about every known exoneration in the United States since 1989—cases in which a person was wrongly convicted of a crime and later cleared of all the charges based on new evidence of innocence. The Registry also maintains a more limited database of known exonerations prior to 1989."For more information of the National Registry of Exonerations:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/about.aspxTO DONATE TO THE REGISTRY:https://funraise.org/give/National-Registry-of-Exonerations/49d88db1-4a88-433c-a0ab-3a4453535ba8/The Center for Integrity in Forensic Sciences:https://cifsjustice.org/#/mainOther Source Material:https://www.caarpr.org/survivors-1/nick-escamillahttps://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1993-02-03-9303175091-story.htmlDon't forget to leave us a review and follow us on social media!https://www.ginandjusticepodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/GinAndJustice/IG: @ginandjusticepodcastTwitter: Gin_JusticePodTikTok: Gin_and_Justice

Imagine going to prison for something you did not do.  In the early 1990s, the new power of DNA evidence revealed that a small percentage of inmates in our nation's prisons were being locked away — some for life — for crimes they did not commit. They had been found guilty based on wrong eye-witness identifications, misconduct by law enforcement, faulty forensic testimony and junk science or simply been coerced into a confession. Since then, dozens of organizations have formed across the country to provide investigative and legal services to identify and free inmates who have been wrongfully convicted. More than 3,300 people in the U.S. have been exonerated since 1989 of crimes for which they were imprisoned, according to the National Registry of Exonerations. Researchers looking more closely at the data also found that Black inmates are more likely to be wrongfully convicted.  MPR News host Angela Davis talks about why wrongful convictions happen, their impact on lives and how more can be prevented. Guests:  Jim Mayer is a managing attorney at the Great North Innocence Project, which works to free people wrongfully convicted of crimes and to prevent wrongful convictions in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. He also teaches courses on wrongful convictions and leads innocence clinics at law schools in Minnesota and North Dakota.  Michael Hansen is a tattoo artist and the owner of Kinship Collective Tattoo in Northfield, Minn. He spent nearly seven years in prison for a crime of which he was fully exonerated in 2011. Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.  Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.
