The silver menorah has been in Reb Noson's family for 400 years, and it's probably even older than that. But this Hanukkah, it's gone missing! Find out what happens next in ‘The Lost Menorah,' the latest episode of YourClassical Storytime – featuring a story by Howard Schwartz, narration by Theodore Bikel and music by the Eaken Piano Trio.
Dr. Howard Schwartz discusses an Integrative Approach to Cardiology with Dr. Ben Weitz. [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.] Podcast Highlights 4:38 Why do patients get heart disease? Dr. Schwartz explained that eating unhealthy foods, not exercising, chronic stress, and other lifestyle factors combine with genetics to set you up for developing cardiovascular disease. Recreational drugs and other toxins like pollution can trigger the immune system and cause oxidative stress. Oxidative stress along with high fat levels in the bloodstream can lead to damage to the lining of the arteries, referred to as endothelial dysfunction. This allows the inflammatory cells that are in the bloodstream to enter the blood vessel wall along with the fat cells. The inflammation triggers cytokines, which causes oxidized fats within the blood vessel wall and hence, you get a buildup of plaque. This plaque grows over time and eventually that plaque can either obstruct the blood vessel, obstruct flow in the blood vessel or that plaque can actually rupture and then cause a clot to form on top of the ruptured plaque and stop blood flow to the heart, and that's what we call a heart attack. 9:52 There are some studies with seaweed products using either rhaman sulfate (Arteriosil) or fucoidan (Endocalyx Pro) that have been shown to improve the health of the endothelium. The endothelium is the lining of the arteries and plays a significant role in the development of heart disease. 12:35 Lab testing. LDL has been considered the bad cholesterol and ApoB takes into account not only LDL but other atherogenic lipids, so it provides a more precise measurement. On conventional lipid panels, LDL is an estimated number that reflects the mass of the LDL but LDL particle number is more precise and we also want to know the size of the LDL particles, since small, dense LDL particles are more likely to get into the blood vessel wall and store there. We should also measure Lipoprotein A, Lp(a), is a specialized LDL particle that causes increased blood clotting and increases risk of heart disease. 16:10 Imaging. A new imaging technique that is now available that can be a game changer in terms of prevention is the CT angiogram with artificial intelligence. Prior to this test, the best imaging that we have had for preventative screening is the coronary calcium scan. It was thought that having more calcium in your arteries puts you more at risk. But new data shows that calcified plaque is actually more stable plaque and to be preferred over softer, less stable plaque. The new CT angiogram with artificial intelligence can not only identify if there is plaque, but it can characterize your plaque as soft or hard and measures the density of the plaque, which correlates with the risk. The low density plaque is inflammatory and has a necrotic core and a thin fibrous cap and is most at risk to rupture and create a heart attack or stroke. 21:27 A case study. Dr. Schwartz recalls a 72 year old female patient who had a significant calcium score--a score of 150--and she had some stenosis in her proximal left anterior descending artery. She did not want to go on a statin and did not want to take red yeast rice, since she felt it was too much like a statin. Dr. Schwartz put her on berberine, bergamot, plant sterols, and amla and she did great. He particularly impressed with some of the benefits of bergamot. 28:24 Diet. The studies show that the Mediterranean diet has the most robust data to support that this is the best diet to prevent heart disease and Dr. Schwartz believes that this is due to the anti-inflammatory effects of this diet. The extra virgin olive oil, the omega-3 fats, and the nuts seem to be important factors. Dr.

Howard Schwartz is a prolific writer who has published fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. He is widely considered among the top Jewish folklorists in the world. In searching for themes and images for his work in various genres, Professor Schwartz has often found his inspiration in biblical, midrashic, and kabbalistic lore. Many of his works retell ancient folktales, reflecting his belief in the importance of passing cultural lore from one generation to the next. His poetry frequently reflects the dreamlike and mysterious elements of Jewish mythology. Schwartz's fictional works, as typified in the collection of parables titled The Captive Soul of the Messiah, “are in part original, in part recreations of ancient legends, a conjunction of personal search and dreaming with mythical or timeless patterns or cycles,” reported Francis Landy in the Jewish Quarterly. As a result, Landy explained, Schwartz's stories “are at once familiar, filled with the aura of the sages, giving the impression of a blind and insatiable predilection for the alleyways of tradition, and at the same time being wholly pertinent, incisive metaphors for our own predicament.” Howard Schwartz is Professor Emeritus in the English department at the University of Missouri, St. Louis.

We've looked at Batman: The Movie from a director’s standpoint; this time, we look at it from a cinematographer’s. Howard Schwartz, Director of Photography on that film, published an article in American Cinematographer magazine’s June 1966 issue called Bat-motography, or Capturing Batman on Film, which not only tells us some of the issues that came up in terms of lighting the film, but also certain scenes in the first season, and plenty of other interesting tidbits. This time, we discuss the article, and also the sixth issue of the Batman ’66 comic book, featuring a (nearly) spot-on take on the Bookworm by Tom Peyer. Also: the Batman theme as played in 2008 by Chicchi, a (then) young girl playing surf guitar; and your mail about our talk with the principals of Batman at Washburn! Help Tim move away from his cough-inducing apartment Chicchi playing "The Cruel Sea"

Three friends, each with their own special skill, make Shabbat together every week—that is, until they get lost in the woods without time to find their way out before Shabbat begins. Luckily, they find a cottage inhabited by an old woman who magically sets up for Shabbat in an instant. The woman tells the three friends that they, too, can magically prepare for Shabbat, but only if they find and bring her back the exact right apple. Can they do it?

The human brain was built to predict the future. If you can't see what's coming, you can't survive. Tea leaves, entrails, and complicated algorithms are just a few of the ways humans have tried to divine the future for personal gain. Today on our show we have three stories about various attempts to look into the future. A Berkeley undergraduate tries to beat the racetrack, economists attempt to predict recessions, and a software that can listen to a song and predict whether it's going to be a hit. Guess which one is the most successful, and who forgot about a couple very important variables.
