Discovering Saint Anthony: If You Ask For Miracles: Prayers of a Catholic Community in Pittsburgh by Doretta Lonnett Whalen, PhDThrough a spiritual awakening initiated by the death of a loved one–and of all things, a missing earring–the author, despite feeling unworthy, reveals surprising experiences which led her to Saint Anthony of Padua. One of the world's most beloved religious figures, St. Anthony made his mark as a popular preacher in the early thirteenth century. Regardless of creed, people invoke him on a range of issues, but especially Catholics do, who cultivate the belief that saints can intercede on our behalf. Dr. Whalen focuses on the saint's powerful connection as a "finder" in presenting dozens of engaging stories—heartbreaking to hilarious—she collected as part of an oral history project conducted in her Catholic parish just before the COVID pandemic. The result is an inspirational, entertaining book that fosters faith and hope in these uncertain timesDoretta Whalen is a retired adjunct professor: at University of Pittsburgh, teaching Jazz Voice and inheriting the popular History of Jazz, named Editor's Pick Best Class by The Pitt News in 2013; at Penn State Greater Allegheny founding PSGA (Penn State Greater A Cappella) Melody Lions. As host of American Public Radio show on WYEP 91.3 FM Pittsburgh,“Cruise Control for a Sunday,” she interviewed guests and created “Classic Jazz Revue” voice-over episodes. Her dissertation on jazz vocalist Billie Holiday suggests that exposure to chant helped shape her singing style. Doretta serves the church as cantor and volunteer. She teaches voice in her home studio. Her pastimes include texting with her grandchildren, swimming, tap dancing, flower and herb gardening, and learning Spanish on Duolingo.dorettawhalen@gmail.com  https://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Saint-Anthony-Community-Pittsburgh/dp/1631294458http://www.mainspringbooks.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/41323msb.mp3   

Synopsis On today's date in 1937, one of Copland's less familiar works had its premiere performance – on the radio. The radio premiere was the result of a commission from the Columbia Broadcasting System, and was premiered by the CBS Symphony Orchestra. This work has at least three different titles. Originally titled simply “Music for Radio,” as requested by the network, it was given the more colorful name “Saga of the Prairies” as the result of an on-air listener contest sponsored by CBS. Later, when Copland himself published the music, it bore the title: “Prairie Journal.” So – take your pick. Copland received a $500 commission – quite generous in those days – and was thrilled that his music would reach millions of listeners with a single broadcast. Today, new music by contemporary composers is still occasionally commissioned by radio stations and radio networks. In 1993, “Still Movement with Hymn” was commissioned from Aaron Jay Kernis by American Public Radio (now American Public Media) and broadcast nationally on one of their program offerings. “Still Movement with Hymn,” is one of a series of elegiac works by Kernis, written in memory of American composer Stephen Albert, who was killed in a car accident the year before.

In this episode we discuss a highly counter-intuitive approach to learning that flies in the face of the way you think you should learn and how it might transform your learning process. We explore several powerful, evidence based learning strategies that you can start to apply right now in your life, we explain why you should focus on getting knowledge out of your brain instead of into it (and what, exactly, that means), we share a number of powerful memory strategies you can use to super charge your brain - and much more with our guest Peter Brown. Peter Brown is a best-selling author and novelist. He is the author of five books including Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning. Peter’s work turns traditional learning techniques on their head and draws from recent discoveries in cognitive psychology to offer concrete techniques for becoming a more productive learner. His work has been featured in The New York Times, American Public Radio, The New Yorker, and more!What teaching and learning strategies lead to better retention of material?The non-intuitive approach to learning that flies in the face of the way you think you should learnThe act of wrestling with knowledge and material is what actually builds learning that sticks3 Big ideas from Brian’s research (1) It's about getting the knowledge out of your head, not getting it in(2) When learning is easy it doesn’t stick. You have to challenge yourself.(3) Intuition leads us astray. We think that simple repeated practice makes it easier to learn, but that may not be the case. You can’t rely on learning that feels constructive. How does memory get stored? How can your lack of understanding about this lead to worse learning strategies?The more connections you make to existing knowledge, the more you are likely to remember something The more complex knowledge that you build and develop the more you can develop complex mental models for explaining and understanding realityVisual markers, memory palaces and mnemonic devices can be very powerful memory techniques They are not about learning, but rather ORGANIZING what you’ve already learned The key to learning is to put ideas in your own words, to digest them, play with them, and think about the application of them - not just to review the text or information you’ve already read. The “forgetting curve” is a mental model that helps interrupt your pattern of forgetting things - and remembering them at just the right time  Mass practice vs mixed practice - and why the feeling of improvement may be misleading your learning efforts Mental effort and persistence towards a learning goal help build deeper memories - literally change the physical structure of your brain and lead to better and richer memories Homework: Look back at your own life and the things that you’ve tackled that were a struggle, and yet you became good at it - use these as examples for how this strategy can work Homework: Read about the science of learning in generalHomework: Create flash card sets or quizzes for things you want to memorize (even if you aren’t a student)  in order to TEST yourself. Practice retrieving information, over and over again. The retrieval is key! Only by doing it can you be confident you know how to do it. Self testing, space it out, and come back later to do it again.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Two Great Women's Fitness Resources—Find Your Trainer and Armourbox Hi there, today on Crunches and Cosmos you're going to hear all about an online service called Find Your Trainer that'll help you do just that—find a personal trainer.  I'm going to explain how it works and tell you what I think.  And I'll also be going more into detail about the workout gear subscription program called Armourbox by Under Armour. *Warning>>There is one instance where a curse word is used in this episode.  Please keep this in mind if there are children in the room when you're listening.  In episode three I gave an overview of 5 different workout clothes subscription programs and over the next few episodes I'm going to break each of them down in a little more detail. By the end of today's episode you'll know if either of these services will help you in your exercise program. And I'll also share the name of 2 podcasts I found recently that you might want to tune it to and make sure you stick around for my positive tip of the day (find out what it has to do with McDonald's coffee)…   *Please subscribe to the Crunches & Cosmos podcast!  It doesn't cost a thing!  Just click on the circle icon (with the 3 dots) in the player above.  By subscribing you'll get a notice whenever a new episode drops!  Thank you!  You're listening to the Crunches & Cosmos Podcast where I simplify women's fitness by helping you figure out which fitness programs and products are right for you.  I break down all the different pieces of your fitness routine (from your mindset  to your equipment and programs) with information and genuine reviews so that you can decide what exercisey stuff is perfect for you. And why?? Because I truly believe that exercise will make every woman's life better. I'm Mickie and today's episode is brought to you by One Strong Southern Girl.com. So, who am I and why should you care what I have to say about women's fitness anyway? That's a great question! I'm a medical professional, former personal trainer and lifelong fitness enthusiast.  I worked out at a gym for almost 10 years and transitioned into home exercise exclusively over the last 15 years or so (after I had my first child).  I've run 2 Tough Mudders and a bunch of ½ marathons and have tried a ton of different fitness products, services and styles of exercise. And I guess because I've found a way to make exercise such a permanent part of my life I've always had other women ask me for fitness advice and I LOVE that I can help. So, I'm always looking for new ways to make exercise more interesting and fun for myself and all the women around me. A few years ago I started a women's fitness blog (One Strong Southern Girl) and was so excited and humbled by the feedback that I expanded my business in a few different ways and this podcast is one of them.  Because not everyone has time to read an article about a service on line but I can reach them with this podcast. And remember if you're here listening to me then you're a part of the team and I'd love to hear from you. If you stumble on a cool exercise service or product please contact me and tell me what you love about it. (You can email me at ccpodast@onestrongsoutherngirl.com) Please help me help other women make exercise a permanent part of their life.   So, before we talk about exercise stuff I wanted to share two cool podcasts with you. Limetown Ten years ago, over three hundred men, women and children disappeared from a small town in Tennessee, never to be heard from again. In this podcast, American Public Radio reporter Lia Haddock asks the question once more, "What happened to the people of Limetown?" This is a fictional story that'll hook you right from the start. Missing Richard Simmons On February 15, 2014, fitness guru Richard Simmons disappeared. He stopped teaching his regular exercise class at Slimmons, cut off his closest friends, and removed himself from the public eye after decades as one of the most accessible celebrities in the world. Nobody has heard from him - and no one knows why he left. Filmmaker Dan Taberski was a Slimmons regular and a friend of Richard's. Missing Richard Simmons is Dan's search for Richard - and the deeper he digs, the stranger it gets. This isn't a new podcast but I loved it.  The information about Richard Simmons is pretty fascinating.  It's worth listening to. So let's talk about some exercise stuff… Some of the following links are affiliate links.  If you use one of my links to purchase something it helps support my business.  Thank you! (No hard feelings if you don't.)  You can get more information about that here. Find Your Trainer What is Find Your Trainer? An online service that matches your fitness goals and location with a personal trainer who'll come to you (work, park, home, hotel, etc.) to help you exercise.   How much is Find Your Trainer and how do I pay? The trainers start at $37/session and vary depending on the number of sessions you buy. Each trainer's prices are listed in their profile. You schedule and pay your trainer online.  There's no membership or service fee to use Find Your Trainer.   How long are the sessions? 55-60 minutes   Will I need to provide any equipment? No, the trainers will provide you with any equipment that's needed.   Can the trainers work with me at my gym? Yes, if the gym allows outside trainers.   Can I train with a partner or friends? Yes! The rate for partner training (two people) is 1.5x the trainer's normal rate. For groups of three to six people, the rate is 2x the normal rate. If you're interested in either, just send an email to contact@getfyt.com and we'll help get you set up!   So, I haven't actually signed up for this service myself but it looks like a great idea if you feel like you need a personal trainer. ✔And I'd recommend you check out the Crunches and Cosmos podcast episode 4 (Do you Need a Personal Trainer? A Simple Guide to Help You Figure it Out) before you sign up. Now I'm going to move on to one of my favorite topics…workout clothes subscription services. I belong to 5 different programs—Armourbox is the newest one and when I recorded episode 3 (Workout Clothes Subscription Programs--Here's Why You Might Want to Sign Up) I'd only been in the program for a couple of months.  Now, I've been in the program long enough to feel like I can talk about it more in depth.   Armourbox What is Armourbox? ArmourBox is the workout clothes subscription box program by Under Armour.   How does it work? You fill out a style survey and then Under Armour sends you 4-6 items of gear based on your unique exercise preferences.  You have 7 days to try everything on (from the comfort of your own house) and send back what you don't want to keep. Under Armour recycles their shipping box so anything you don't keep goes back in the original box and you slap on the return label and sticker to seal the box and drop it off at the post office. You'll get your shipment every 30, 60 or 90 days.  You decide that when you sign up and you can change it whenever you want to.   How much is ArmourBox? ArmourBox is completely FREE! There are no style fees or shipping charges in Under Armour's subscription box program! This makes it unique from every other fitness subscription box program out there that I'm aware of today. The only thing you'll pay for are the items you keep. And if you decide to keep all of the items in your shipment then you'll get 20% off the total price.   The best things about Armourbox (and how it stands out from the pack of other fitness subscription boxes) 7 days to try everything on  (most programs give you 5 days) No service, styling or membership fees (I don't know any other program that does that, most of them charge you a styling fee of at least $25/month whether you keep anything or not) Shoes and more…! (not many programs will send you shoes and other gear besides workout apparel)   My positive tip of the day… So, pay it forward…literally.  Buys someone else's meal the next time you're in a drive through line.   Thank you for being here!

And please join my email list.  Just go to my website and sign up.  I don't email that much and you can unsubscribe if I start to annoy you.  But it gives me a way to directly speak to women like me who want to be fit in this busy life we're all living.   SHOW NOTES & LINKS My full post about Armourbox Find your trainer website  Limetown Podcast Missing Richard Simmons     Additional Important links: Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast!  It costs zero dollars!

#88 Rico Gagliano Rico Gagliano is creator, and co host of Dinner Party Download, and I was lucky enough to snag him as he was passing through Pittsburgh to chill with me for a podcast session.  This meant a lot to me, guys.  Dinner Party Download was one of two podcasts (Nerdist being the other), that inspired me to start my own show. I love DPD, and still listen to this day (If you don't you are a fool). It is a delightful, cultural blend, that has everything you want out of a podcast.  Jokes, icebreakers, celebrity guests, music choices, cuisine, and etiquette all surrounding a dinner party. So what happens when you get two podcasters in a room together?  A lot of awesome conversation, and that is what you are going to get right here.  Rico Gagliano has worked in public radio for over a decade, so the guy knows how to speak, and has ties to  our beloved Pittsburgh.  He attended Pitt for Film Studies, wrote for Pittsburgh City Paper, and the Post Gazette.  After that, Rico moved on to be a reporter for "Marketplace".  His pieces have also been heard on All Things Considered, The Savy Traveler, and Weekend America.  Rico continues to write works for The Wall Street Journal and Dwell Magazine.  Dinner Party Download was created with Rico teamed up with co host Brendan Newnam. These two secretly recorded episodes for their idea late at night at the studio.

As President-elect Donald Trump confirms the Chief Executive of Exxon Mobil, Rex Tillerson, as his choice for US secretary of state and the former Texas Gov. Rick Perry to lead the Energy Department, we look at the implications of the appointments, for both the United States and the rest of the world. Professor James Goldgeier is Dean of the School of International Service at American University in Washington DC and gave us his thoughts. Also in the programme, the BBC's Coletta Smith reports from Reykjavik, Iceland, on the country's place at the head of a global league table for gender equality. Plus we hear from Bill Gates who has just launched his latest start-up - a billion-dollar project to turn good clean energy ideas into successful money-making schemes. It's called Breakthrough Energy Ventures - and he talked about it with David Brancaccio of Marketplace on American Public Radio. As US debt approaches the $20trillion mark within weeks, possibly days, of Donald Trump's arrival in the White House, we discuss why this matters and the impact of excessive debt on the global economy. And they may be an aphrodisiac, but oysters certainly aren't seducing some of the locals on Rhode Island where public land is being turned into oyster farms. Marketplace's Andy Uhler went there to check it out. Andy joins us throughout the programme alongside Lingling Wei who China correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in Beijing.

Originally aired as CW 252 Despite popular belief, China is no longer a cheap place to do business with labor costs and real estate costs soaring. Join Jason Hartman as he interviews Shaun Rein, author of The End of Cheap China and Managing Director of China Market Research Group in Shanghai, about debunking common myths, such as China is stealing U.S. jobs. Many companies have begun doing business in China, due to what Shaun refers to as “capitalism on steroids.” Labor costs have increased in China to the tune of around 20 percent, and the government is trying to increase wages yearly over the next five years. Another factor affecting manufacturing costs over time is that fewer of the younger generation wants to be employed in manufacturing jobs, wanting to realize their white class dreams. China is also pushing middle class development to offset the manufacturing issue. Shaun Rein is the Managing Director of CMR, the world's leading strategic market intelligence firm. He is one of the world's recognized thought leaders on strategy consulting. He is a columnist for Forbes on Leadership, Marketing, and China and for BusinessWeek's Asia Insight section.

He is regularly interviewed by American Public Radio's Marketplace and NPR. He frequently appears to deliver commentary on CNBC's Squawk Box, Bloomberg TV, CBS News, and CNN International TV.
