Emergency numbers are the kind of thing you may not fully appreciate until you need them.    —Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FGSA, FAAN Would you know how to contact 911 for a loved one who lives in a different state?    Many people assume that if you call 911 in your local area that they would be able to connect you to the municipality that your loved one lives in – but that's not always the case.    Join me for this week's episode where Rebecca Murphy from Maryland shares her story of Facetiming her Dad in Florida – and he fell through the attic to the concrete garage floor below and was severely injured.    She shares her harrowing account of events and offers tips to help you make sure you never end up in this kind of panic. You can be prepared. So stay tuned to learn how to call 911 for someone living in another state and other technology solutions for connecting to emergency services.   Now let's dive into this week's episode ▶️ How To Call 911 For Someone Living In Another State   Main Point #1: Tell us about what happened that led you to need to call 911 in another state?    Rebecca was on FaceTime with her dad when she faced a nerve-racking situation. Initially trying to fix something in the attic, she suddenly heard her dad's screams as he fell 12 to 15 feet onto the concrete in the garage. Helpless, she realized she didn't even have his address. Here comes the first lesson – always make sure you know the addresses of your loved ones. After reaching out to other family members, she decided to contact the nearest EMS for assistance.  Main Point #2: What happened when you tried to call 911? Rebecca received instructions to dial 911 in Maryland, but when she did, they were unable to forward the call to authorities in Florida. Instead, they provided her with a phone number for a different city. What should have been a quick five-minute process turned into a frustrating 45-minute ordeal. Rebecca had to call numerous municipal offices all across Florida just to inform them that someone needed to help her dad.  It's truly a distressing situation that no one should ever have to go through, and it could have been avoided with a little bit of prior planning and preparation.   Main Point #3: Recommendations for people to avoid spending all that time figuring it out   Prepare Ahead of Time Know their address Understand what emergency entity will respond – city vs. county Add the PSAP for your loved one in your phone contacts – Public Safety Answering Point Encourage elected officials to include the PSAP number – File of Life program Technology solutions: Apple Watch that automatically calls 911 with fall setting + cellular connection; can call for yourself with watch on. Fall Risk: Logs can help monitor if you have changes in coordination, gait stability and gait speed. #emergencyplan #emergency #dispatch #careteam #healthcare #communityeffort #caremanagement #caregiver #alzheimersupport #alzheimer #alzheimersawareness #alzheimers #dementia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About MelissaBPhD   Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FGSA, FAAN.

Mentioned in this Episode Texas Wine In the News Decanter: "Fourth of July Wines: Beyond California" Politico reports on Senator Ted Cruz wine tasting events Texas on the Rhône Ama Waterways Cruise - November 2021 The 12 Bottles That Moved the Needle on the Texas Wine Industry These 12 bottles of Texas wine moved the Texas wine industry forward and were revolutionary for their time. They brought attention to Texas in ways that no previous wine had. One caveat: most of the primary research on these wines has been done by others, not by me. Since there’s no one definitive guide to Texas wine history, I’ve pulled bits and pieces of stories and accounts from a several different sources. I’ve done my best to be true to the history and to get clarification where necessary. Many thanks to Jim Johnson from Alamosa Cellars, Bill Fore and Dr. Bob Young at Bending Branch, Kassandra McPherson from McPherson Cellars, and Jeff Cope from Texas Wine Lover for helping me with tracking down details on these bottles. And hats off to the wine writers that have been covering the Texas wine scene since before I was paying attention. Rebecca Murphy, Jessica Dupuy, Russ Kane, Tina Danze, Terry Thompson-Anderson, Kim Pierce, and others. Cheers to you.Please listen to the podcast for my rationale for including these wines and for additional details on each selection. The list begins in 1986 and continues in chronological order. In 1986 at the San Francisco Fair Exposition & Wine Competition, two Texas wines won big. 1 - 1983 Pheasant Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded the first Gold medal for a Texas red wine in a California wine competition.2 - 1984 Llano Estacado Chardonnay won a rare Double Gold Medal for the 1984 Chardonnay. The winemaker was Kim McPherson who had been winemaker there since 1979. Background from Texas Wine LoverWine historian Leon Adams said, “There’s no question the high South Plains is a viticulture miracle. No one realized this area could produce world-class wines. It is an amazing story.” No more “Chateau Bubba” or “Cactus Blanc.”Forked Tendrils: Llano Estacado Winery and the Rise of the Modern Texas Wine Industry by Eric Sanchez (Texas Tech University, A Thesis in History, 1996)3 - In 1992, the 1990 Messina Hoff Johannisberg Riesling Texas Late Harvest Angel was the first Texas wine to earn a 90 in Wine Spectator. It is still the highest rated Texas wine on Wine Spectator.4- 1997 Fall Creek Sauvignon Blanc was the first Texas wine to be named a Best Buy by Wine Spectator.5 - 1998 McPherson Sangiovese Sagmore Vineyard was made from the first Sangiovese planted in the state.Dallas Morning News "Texas sangiovese lands on list of James Beard semifinalists."6 – 1999 Alamosa Cellars “El Guapo” Tempranillo. Jim and Karen Johnson planted the Hill Country’s first Tempranillo vines in 1998, and the El Guapo bottling was the first commercially available Tempranillo in the state.7 – 2003 Haak Jacquez Madeira (released 2006). Haak Madeira is the first and only commercial Madeira made and bottled in the state of Texas. The Haak label was approved mere days before the 2006 agreement went into effect between the U.S. government and the European Union that banned the use of the titles Port, Sherry, Madeira and similar European-styled wine monikers on U.S. labels.Edible Austin "Haak Vineyards and Winery"8 – Duchman Vermentino & Montepulciano in KegIn 2010, Duchman became the first Texas winery to keg wines for serving on tap.

On this episode I had my first remote interview using the Zoom App with Rebecca Murphy in San Diego, California.  She was in a religious cult called the International Church of Christ.  We discussed her journey into the religious cult and her journey out of it as well.  

Children often find themselves at the centre of a variety of legal disputes and, as a result, they may enter the court system through a number of possible doors. Some of these disputes involve disagreements between parents, while others involve the possibility of state intervention due to child protection and safety concerns. What must be remembered is that children's futures are significantly impacted by the door through which their family enters the legal system. In Ireland, there are many instances where parents recognise that they are unable to care for their children and these children are received into care through a voluntary care agreement. However, the details of the parenting plan are often left vague, with the potential for future disagreement. In many instances, such voluntary care agreements result in applications to court leading to high tensions and a breakdown of trust between the parents and the child welfare agencies (section 4 of the Child Care Act, 1991). This process of reaching “agreements” may, in some circumstances, more appropriately be managed through alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation. Unfortunately, the use of mediation within child protection cases is not current practice in Ireland. Building on this existing research regarding alternative dispute resolution processes, this paper will examine child protection mediation programs operating in the USA and explore the largely uncharted potential of child protection mediation in an Irish context. This will inform policy and state actors as to the potential benefits/disadvantages of developing child-inclusive mediation at a national level. Rebecca Murphy graduated from Maynooth University with a double first-class honours degree in law and music (BCL). Since July 2015, Rebecca Murphy has been employed by the Courts Service as a judicial assistant/researcher for Her Honour, Judge Rosemary Horgan, and President of the District Court, who has extensive knowledge in all areas of family and child care law. Rebecca’s role as a judicial assistant/researcher has allowed her the opportunity to witness the realities and in some cases the distresses of family and child protection proceedings brought before the Dublin Metropolitan District (DMD) on a daily basis.

Cass and Bob interview Rebecca Murphy. Rebecca is a 46 year old white cisgender heterosexual female, married for 28 years and childfree by choice. She was raised in an off-shoot of Mormonism called Temple Lot. In college she left that faith but was swept up into the International Church of Christ, which under the surface of their inspirational Sunday services was a domineering pyramid scheme with all the mind controlling influences of a cult. Before our talk with Rebecca, Cass has a brief conversation with Harry Flook, a 21 year old British photographer and documentarian visiting the states through former guest Gayle Jordan and the Recovering From Religion organization to chronicle how people find a sense of community after losing their faith and leaving the church. If you’ve been following the last several episodes, you will have noticed that I am on a journey that associate with the stage of life in which I find myself, which I’ll describe as mid-life, post-religious, and post-parent. There seems to be a natural rite of passage happening that is not unlike puberty, where it is going to happen whether you like it or not. In the absence of meaning, formerly found in the role of being a parent and/or seeing one’s self within a religious narrative or simply the realization that one has fewer years left to live than one has lived thus far, some realizations begin to enter one’s mind that can serve as a mirror that exposes immaturity in one’s character (at best) or seem pathological at worst. It turns out (at least for me) that a strong sense of self has been kept at bay by the busying narratives in which my life has been immersed, and as the curtain closes on them (my role as a parent, for example, or my role as child of god destined to live eternally in heaven), and that suppressed identity is coming unchained and emerging from the dungeon with a vengeance. But, it doesn’t know how to behave or even walk and is blinded by the sun and atrophied by immobility so nothing about this is homecoming is going to be pretty. In fact, it can arouse deep anxieties, even panic, and hopelessness that can lead to suicidal thoughts. You will hurt and be hurt by those nearest to you. Especially if they’re going through the same thing at the same time. Many marriages are ended by this transition. But I found my hope in a psychological concept founded by Carl Jung and Murray Bowen called “differentiation.” Differentiation of self is one's ability to separate one's own intellectual and emotional functioning from that of one’s family and/or lover. Individuals with "low differentiation" are more likely to become emotionally fused with others—particularly family or lovers. They’re like Siamese twins attached at the hip. And this attachment, that is largely dependent and codendent, can last for years until this awakening happens and you want to go your own way. Any attempt to do so will be taken personally by the person you are fused with. You want to differentiate yourself from them and they say, “why are you doing this to me?” When in fact, you are doing nothing TO them, they are just leaning on you so hard that they hit the floor when you move. People with "low differentiation" depend on others' approval and acceptance. They either conform themselves to others in order to please them, or they attempt to force others to conform to themselves. They are thus more vulnerable to stress and less adaptive to life changes. You may have heard of a healthy H-shaped relationship, where two stand-alone, vertical lines are in relationship, contrasted with an unhealthy A-shape relationship where those lines are leaning on each other. Those with generally higher levels of "self differentiation" recognize that they need others, but they depend less on others' acceptance and approval. They do not merely adopt the attitude of those around them but acquire and maintain their principles thoughtfully. These principles, morals, and ethics help them resist lapsing into emotional reactivity and impulsive thoughts and actions. Thus, despite conflict, criticism, and even rejection, those with greater capacity to "self differentiate" can stay calm and rationally "clear-headed" enough to carefully assess facts, less clouded by emotion. What they decide and say matches what they do. Even when they act in the best interests of a group, they choose thoughtfully, not because they are caving in to group-think. They're more objective observers, more capable of calmness under relationship and task pressures. Confident in their own thinking, they can either support another's viewpoints without becoming wishy-washy; or, they can reject another's opinions without becoming hostile with them, or passively disconnected from them. The ideal outcome here is when two people (beit father and son, or siblings, or husband and wife) both move from an A shape to an H shape, no one falls to the ground. However, if one person is unwilling or unable to do the work—the introspection, the therapy, the communication, the research—all of which are helpful in understanding what the fuck is happening, then they are most certainly going to crash when the other person differentiates. At that point, they have the option to stay on the floor crying, blaming and demonizing the other person…for the rest of their lives, but in so doing, they miss out on this wonderful evolutionary opportunity to grow up and personally develop, and secondly, they destroy a valuable relationship to their own heart. I see this as a key development for those of us who have graduated from religious faith. When we discover that self-debasing doctrines have left us a depleted shell or ghost-like version of our true selves, we have to find them and meet them, maybe for the first time. We have to get to know them, we have to ask them questions, we have to discover what they like and dislike because they’ve been asked. This is the first step of differentiation. The second is learning how to self-soothe and control our own anxieties. Before, we looked to God or others to comfort us. The third is learning to manage our reactivity, or what Dr. David Schnarch calls, “grounded responding.” Religions remove responsibility from people and when they get our from under that tyranny, they find that they’re ability to respond to circumstances and people is undeveloped. They either over-respond in aggression and thoughtless comments, or under-respond in passive aggression, apathy and dis-attachment.   The fourth and last element of differentiation is endurance. Stay in the room with difference. Tolerate some discomfort for the sake of personal growth and the healing of relationships. Toughen up. Grow a pair. Start giving yourself and your loved ones the benefit of the doubt. Don’t be so quick to assume the worst in them. Bounce back after defeat or failure. Ultimately, you know what this is: this is saying yes to what is. This rite of passage is a gift and will reap tremendous benefits in your life and relationships. Like giving birth, if you can survive the pain of transition and the stretching, you will reap a new life. No-sayers want to pretend it’s not happening or that there’s no work to be done here. They may be quick to thrown in the towel or say “there was no hope for that relationship anyway,” which actually may be true, but please, only make that call after exhaustive effort on your part. Know this: there’s nothing wrong with you if you’re going through this. Don’t blame or shame yourself or anyone else. Tenderly welcome your formerly enslaved self into the 21st century, into freedom, and start looking for ways for that beautiful human being to express their self. Teach them they can self-comfort, they can act from their core and not react from fear, and that they have what it takes to finish strong.  Don’t forget: Coming up: Saturday, March 18th the Nashville Nones Convention. it’s an all day event to be held at Unity Church in Nashville tickets are $20 at the door. More info at nashvillenones.com and there’s a link in the show notes.  5 weeks later is ReasonCon in Hickory NC, the weekend of April 21st.  more info is available at reasonnc.com. We taped the conversation with Rebecca Murphy on February 5th, 2017, and the interview with Harry Flook on March 5th. We interview people you don’t know, about a subject no one wants to talk about. We hope to encourage people in the process of deconstructing their faith and help curb the loneliness that accompanies it. We think the world is a better place when more people live by sight, not by faith. Please subscribe to our podcast, and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.
