The United States Constitution of 1787 gave many Americans pause about the powers the new federal government could exercise and how the government's leadership would rest with one person, the president. The fact that George Washington would likely serve as the new nation's first president calmed many Americans' fears that the new nation was creating an opportunity for a hereditary monarch. Washington had proven his commitment to a democratic form of government when he gave up his army command peacefully and voluntarily. He had proven he was someone Americans could trust. Plus, George Washington had no biological heirs–no sons–to whom he might pass on the presidency. But while George Washington had no biological heirs, he did have heirs. Cassandra A. Good, an Associate Professor of History at Marymount University and author of First Family: George Washington's Heirs and the Making of America, joins us to explore Washington's heirs and the lives they lived.

On February 22, 2024, historians Cassandra Good and Carolyn Eastman presented a lecture on the Washington family, celebrity, and the development of the new United States. While it's widely known that George and Martha Washington never had children of their own, few are aware that they raised children together. In Good's book First Family, we see Washington as a father figure and are introduced to the children he helped raise, tracing their complicated roles in American history. The children of Martha Washington's son by her first marriage—Eliza, Patty, Nelly and Wash Custis—were born into life in the public eye, well-known as George Washington's family and keepers of his legacy. By turns petty and powerful, glamorous and cruel, the Custises used Washington as a means to enhance their own power and status. As enslavers committed to the American empire, the Custis family embodied the failures of the American experiment that finally exploded into civil war—all the while being celebrities in a soap opera of their own making. Cassandra Good is a writer and historian focused on gender and politics in early America who currently serves as Associate Professor of History at Marymount University. She is the author of the prize-winning Founding Friendships: Friendships between Men and Women in the Early American Republic and her newest book, First Family: George Washington's Heirs and the Making of America. Carolyn Eastman is an historian of early America with special interest in eighteenth and nineteenth-century histories of political culture, the media, and gender. She is Professor of History at Virginia Commonwealth University and the author most recently of the award-winning The Strange Genius of Mr. O: The United States' First Forgotten Celebrity. The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

This week, Dr. Matthew Shadle joins the podcast to discuss the theology of Pope Francis in the context of Vatican II. Specifically—responding to some of the critics Pope Francis's recent apostolic letter, Ad Theologiam Promovendam—we talk about how the pope's theology fits in terms of the Ressourcement theology that dominated at the Second Vatican Council and its development since then.  After more than sixteen years of teaching theology at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa and Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia, Dr. Matthew Shadle is the Academic Assessment Coordinator for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Iowa. He received his B.A. in Religion from Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Dayton, in Dayton, Ohio.  He has published Interrupting Capitalism: Catholic Social Thought and the Economy (Oxford, 2018) and The Origins of War: A Catholic Perspective (Georgetown, 2011), as well as numerous essays and articles on Catholic social teaching and its intersection with both fundamental moral theology and the social sciences, with special focus on war and peace, the economy, and immigration. He is currently the editor of Window Light, a Substack newsletter focused on Catholic theology and ministry.

From talking heads on cable news to hot takes online, there seems to be more opinion than ever in journalism these days. There's an entire body of research about how this shift toward opinionated news impacts the people who consume news, but far less on how these changes impact the people who create it. Kimberly Meltzer tackles some of these questions in her book From News to Talk: The Expansion of Opinion and Commentary in U.S. Journalism (SUNY Press, 2019). The book features interviews with journalists like Maria Bartiromo and Brian Stelter about why the media landscape is changing, what role (if any) journalists play in the decline of civility in public discourse, and how they work together as communities of practice in an ever-changing profession. As Meltzer says, today's news landscape is complex. It recalls a past era of partisan newspapers, with the added wrinkle of 21st-century technology and a desire by some outlets to hold true to the standard of objectivity that became ubiquitous after World War II. In this interview, she offers some advice for journalists, news consumers, and journalism educators about how to think about the relationship between news, opinion, and civility today. Meltzer is Associate Professor of Communication and Chair of the Department of Communication at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia. She is also the author of “TV News Anchors and Journalistic Tradition: How Journalists Adapt to Technology” and worked as a broadcast journalist herself before transitioning to academia. Jenna Spinelle is a journalism instructor at Penn State, host of the Democracy Works podcast, produced by Penn State's McCourtney Institute for Democracy. Learn more about your ad choices.

ALEX GERMANO Hello everyone and welcome to the PT on Ice daily show brought to you by the Institute of Clinical Excellence. Happy Wednesday and welcome to today's segment of Geri on Ice. My name is Alex Germano. I'm a member of the older adult division and we just finished up our last cohort of our level 2 course. this past a week or so ago and we just debuted our new week all about cognitive impairment and I found one of the articles to be very impactful and I wanted to review that here with you all today. It is called a framework for rehabilitation for older adults living with dementia by Julie Reese from Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia. We'll dive into these four best practice domains that you can incorporate when working with this population and then how that'll really change kind of your outlook and how you see exercising and rehabilitation in this population. So before we dive in, I just wanted to orient you to some of the new courses or the courses that we have upcoming in the new year. First, we have MMOA Level 1 and Level 2. Those are our online courses. Those begin in early January. So we would love to see you hop into those cohorts. They typically sell out or get really close to it. So we'd recommend you jump in early. We also have upcoming live courses. I'll name some of the spots through February here. So we've got Santa Rosa, California, Greenville, South Carolina, Kearney, Missouri, as well as Oklahoma City, and Gales Ferry, Connecticut. So we hope to see you on the road in 2024. BARRIERS IN DEMENTIA CARE Now, let's dive in. So first, many rehab providers recognize that people with dementia would benefit from rehab services, but we run into many barriers and biases when working with a population that impact the delivery of our services. We have problems like, well, they're non-compliant. They don't cooperate. They won't get better, so they don't need our services. Or they don't have caregivers, so our services aren't trainable, and therefore, it's not gonna be necessary. Or if you're like me, you run into a lot of personal frustration. And I will speak to myself, or for myself only here, but it seems to, I've had some recognition from other providers that they also feel this way. I struggle bringing my fitness forward approach to this population, right? I'm, if you know me, I'm very like exercise heavy, like doing very traditional strength and conditioning movements. And sometimes those types of sessions don't work well for subsets of patients with mild cognitive impairment or really dementia. I struggle when I have goals in mind for the session, And then we get none of them done because most of the time I'm managing behavioral outbursts or orientation problems. And when I only get three out of the 10 exercises I wanted to do get done, when I got those done, I feel like a failure, right? Three out of 10, that's not great for me. And I feel like my immediate reaction is sometimes, oh, therapy, I'm not going to work for this person. But really it's the type of exercise I'm providing, how I'm delivering it, that isn't working. Okay, so it's not them, it's me. And my thought is that many of us are out here fighting to push our agenda on patients with dementia, when in reality, maybe our role as providers in this space is to be someone who's providing an opportunity for movement and letting go for the concern of what type of exercise and how much exercise that we need to get done in the session. REFRAMING SUCCESS IN PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA I've started to reframe my vision of success during a session with somebody with dementia who may not follow those typical exercise instructions. I have started to realize that by me just being there, if we moved at all, that's 100% more movement than they were going to do if I didn't show up. or they didn't have me that day. And no movement is, there's no movements out there that are bad movements. And there's no exercise that is bad exercise, especially in this population. So any movement or exercise should really be success for us, right? If we got them moving at all, that should be successful. And so if we change our expectation, I think the number one way, that's the number one way we can really fight some of the burnout that we're experiencing when working with this population. Now, how to structure these sessions. Let's jump into this paper because I really found this super interesting. This paper explains a model with four domains that we should focus on or emphasize when working with patients with dementia. We have relationship, communication, motor learning, and environment. RELATIONSHIPS OVER EVERYTHING First, let's talk relationship because this is where we're going to spend a lot of the time. A lot of the time. Nothing is going, we prioritize relationships over everything. That's your new mindset. Relationship over everything. Nothing will get done if we don't have a personal connection with the patient and understand with great curiosity what they enjoy in life, who they find important, and what makes them tick. So in our evaluations with patients, we're not only trying to solve their movement problems or screen those, we need to find out about this person. Give me some details. Give me a list of names that's important to them. Who are your loved ones? Also, what were your past hobbies? Even when we don't have access to a ton of personal information, our approach in prioritizing a relationship will matter. We need to be consistent. We need to be empathetic. We need to always enter these interactions with the expectation of success. Our patients can feel that energy coming off of us and it's important that we bring that to the table. MANAGING SYMPTOMS OF DEMENTIA Now, a giant barrier to exercise is managing behavioral or psychological problems and symptoms of dementia. This can get in the way big time of that fitness forward approach or bringing exercise to the patient. Now, first, these symptoms, and it's important to recognize that these symptoms are often a manifestation of something else going on. It could be an acute medical problem, could be a UTI, could be an infection. It could be unmet needs. They're hungry. They're tired. They need to use the bathroom. They feel unclean. It could be from a lack of a meaningful activity. It could be from stress from a caregiver or a loved one, they can feel that stress, it could be an uncomfortable environment. So before we write people off, we have to go, hey, maybe we need to problem solve some of these things and really clear and make sure none of these things are going on before we say that they're non-compliant with therapy. And we need to lean into that problem solving during the sessions. That's why we're there is to solve this problem of why won't this person move much, right? So we're going to spend time solving the problem. Now, I'm not saying that we can spend 10 sessions with a person doing absolutely no physical interventions. I don't think that's terribly appropriate. And I think Medicare at some point would be wondering how they could reimburse us for all that time. But I am saying that we are going to spend time during sessions working on the behavioral problems, working through it to get to some type of skilled, meaningful movement. All of that time, all that problem solving, that behavioral management, that's skilled time. That's skilled and that's billable. We just need to do a good job in our documentation of explaining what we did, how we did it, and what the result was. And then we use that information next session to kind of guide us and get the patient hopefully moving faster and getting them up and going quicker. POPULATION SUBSETS: IS THIS PATIENT APPROPRIATE FOR THERAPY? Now I'll show you an example though, because I understand there are going to be subsets of this population we meet that wouldn't be appropriate for therapy after a certain amount of time. So I'll share this example of how behavioral management led to a discharge for me. I had a gentleman in the very end stages of dementia. I think I saw him during the last year of his life. He was very agitated and very aggressive. He wasn't very fit. He wasn't doing well physically, so he could not hit me, but he sure did try. And he became very agitated and very upset in my presence more often than not because he started to associate me with movement and he could not get his body to move how he wanted right he knew he there was some perception he knew what i was asking him to do was very difficult and very hard um and he associated me with that and that frustration and Stayed on for I think like 10 plus sessions like quite a bit of time Trying many different techniques trying many different behavioral management strategies giving them different equipment to use Showing really the caregiver and the wife how to do exercise with him in a meaningful way There was a lot of cursing me out. There was a lot of near hits to the face, but I Well, we started to realize that I was his trigger and that he was much happier exercising with the caregiver or the wife. So I gave them as many skills as I could. And then I bowed out. I got out, right? I was his trigger. So we parted ways, but I was able to provide some meaning and some context and at least explain how to exercise with him to his caregivers and loved ones with whom he'd exercise much better with. So I'm not saying every patient we need to fight through these issues, but we need to do a good job problem solving and giving as much meaning and value as we can. All right. Relationship number one. COMMUNICATING WITH PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA Next up is communication. Highly important. We should be using communication with short, simple phrasing, yes, no options. We should consider eliminating distractions using repetition in our language, using body language, visual cues, and being comfortable with silence. So having a lot of patience. What's more important though than slow speech, because it could be that we see people and we're like, they have a cognitive impairment. So we're just going to go really, really slowly. That's not what we should do. Instead, we should speak at a normal pace, but allow more time for processing. So we're going to consider the pacing at which we're giving information. Now we should not see this diagnosis with dementia and automatically go to the most basic communication level. That can be, that can absolutely be wrong. People with mild to moderate, even dementia can actually understand, have meaningful conversations and execute multi-step commands. So don't just see the diagnosis and go straight to the bottom levels of communication. Always consider eye level positioning, getting down onto their level. It kind of reduces this hierarchy effect that we can have if we're talking above them. We're going to use lots of positive body language and gestures. You've been seeing me gesture at you for the last 10 minutes. We're going to use lots of gestures. Remember that our patients do communicate through unwanted behaviors. So if they're getting tired, if they're getting more confused, and that may cause disengagement and looks like they don't want to do therapy, We need to recognize that and work to find the problem before we start saying people are uncooperative, before we start giving these super unhelpful labels. Also consider your cueing strategies in this population. I think these cueing strategies are for everyone, but especially in the context of dementia, it can be easy to jump right to physical cueing. We want to start first with a verbal prompt. move towards a visual cue or model the behavior. We then may use a tactile cue or some physical guidance. And then lastly, physical assist. So we're like waiting to do physical assist to the very end. REMEMBER MOTOR LEARNING All right, the next category is motor learning. We want to encourage implicit procedural type movements and training with folks. Learn by doing is our mantra. We need to prioritize both salient and functional tasks for the patient. It's gotta mean something to them. That's why digging into their hobbies and their life is really important. So if we wanted to do squats with somebody, potentially doing sit-to-stands from their favorite chair may actually improve participation. When we design sessions for older adults with dementia, we want to consider using a lot of repetition, the same exercises very consistently. We want to do a lot of blocked practice. So instead of maybe programming two very unique sessions each week, we would prefer keeping the same exercises in both sessions instead of using random practice like our AMRAPs, EMOMs, supersets. We may have to focus on one exercise at a time or maybe just two. Okay, so keeping it a bit more simple. In patients with Alzheimer's disease as well, we see that we need to set them up for a lot of success and do more exercises that encourage errorless learning as errorless learning is more superior to errorful learning or really effortful learning. So we want to get our patient to move without a lot of mistakes. Obviously, we'll have a range of mistakes that we deem allowable, but we want to really try to cue right before an error is made and not let them error through a movement. That struggle is not as beneficial to this population. MAINTAINING INTENSITY Lastly, we want to ensure we have sufficient intensity and challenge. The article writes, I love this portion, this article writes that we can confidently and competently oversee intensive interventions and encourage patients to work hard. We find that by people feeling challenged by exercises and activities, this is a positive and rewarding experience associated with increased confidence and self-esteem in individuals with dementia. So it seems like more intense exercises actually may be better perceived by this population, right? No infantilizing exercises here. So we need to monitor for intensity. We need to look for any observable physical signs of intensity, but also, behavioral signs, cognitive signs. One of my favorite things the article goes on to talk about was excess disability. That a lot of people with Alzheimer's disease have this excessive disability, which they're more functionally disabled than they should be given their impairments. And this is often a result of diminished opportunity for task performance, driven by well-intentioned or time-sensitive caregiver assistance. Loss of opportunity leads to loss of skill. Loss of opportunity leads to a loss of skill. So we need to encourage our caregivers to find small pockets of opportunity for the patient during the day to help maintain their activity levels. So the caregiver relationship is a whole different podcast, but really talking with that caregiver about, hey, when you're structuring your day, what can the patient get involved in doing? Where can we get them a little bit more activity during the day? Loss of opportunity leads to loss of skill. So that's something I talk often about with caregivers because unfortunately they make a lot of decisions to kind of cut out the patient in the process for very good reasons. I have an 18 month old at home. I understand why people do this, but it's having a lot of grace and trying to see where are some opportunities that we can get this person to practice more. THERAPEUTIC ATMOSPHERE Now the last environment was domain. Super simple here and probably pretty intuitive. We need to be mindful of our therapeutic atmosphere to encourage success. We need to prioritize patient safety. We need to keep them comfortable. Us documenting on a computer in a really busy environment may not be it for this person. We need to keep things routine and consistent. Don't send in Different person for therapy every time this person's probably gonna need a very familiar face. So you're gonna want to keep the same provider at the same time at the same place Consistency is everything we want to minimize distractions and create an atmosphere of joy. I know that sounds really simple. I But these changes in particular can make a big impact. Honestly, changing my attitude was one of the ways that's really helped me when working with this population. I have become super joyful when I walk into the room, no matter what I am met with. I am very curious about what the patient has to offer that day, what excites them, what makes them tick. And it's made one of the biggest impacts on my ability to care for this population. and give them meaningful sessions. So changing expectations is what we, you know, about what we should achieve. Letting our patients guide more of the session. That's really reduced a lot of my own personal burnout and stress surrounding these interactions and sessions. I have just come to recognize and document all of these strategies that I use and what impact that they had on my ability to deliver care and to deliver movement for this population, right? I've recognized that these skills and these decisions that we're making are skilled behaviors. And I value my own time and bill all of this while I'm with the person. Remember, you're providing an opportunity for movement in this population, an opportunity for movement. I hope this article gives you just that sense and boost of motivation that you were needing to feel successful in treating these folks. You guys are out there doing an absolutely amazing job. I hope this just makes your job a bit easier. All right, y'all have a good rest of your Wednesday and we'll talk soon. OUTRO Hey, thanks for tuning in to the PT on Ice daily show.

The time is now for every soul to begin their journey to the undeniable TRUTH. Through this book, you will be led to your path just as she was led! As each truth comes to light, you will be given confirmation and a way to move through it on your path to the light. The long-awaited acceptance of her true gifts from GOD confirmed all. It became so clear from GOD's words and those of past generations, that there could be no more denial of the truth. She uncovered the dark secrets buried and locked away for many generations. This book is about the evolution from darkness to light, a soul's “Journey to the Awakening.” RE-CREATION – SURVIVING THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE is a unique book that takes the reader on a journey through Anna's dark past she never realized existed. She uncovers a life filled with deceit and abusive relationships. Anna became so beaten down and overwhelmed that she actually encounters a near death experience. It took all of these experiences for her to recognize how she lost herself trying to please others. At this point, Anna embarks on a mission to heal the physical and emotional damage as well as the trauma that plagued her for the better part of her life. She spends several years on her quest to reconnect her mind, body and soul. Anna shares so much knowledge which she gained along her path to help others see that there is a way to overcome all odds and restore love and light in the world. She shares her story, in the hope, that others will begin their journey to find their personal truth, move closer to the light, discover and live out their intended purpose here on Earth. Denise Claire grew up in a small-town New England environment in a family with six children. She was always very curious about human behavior and spent a lot of time reading and studying about how people acted and interacted with each other. In school she studied psychology, business and finance. Denise married at a very young age and had three children. She has been a small business owner and entrepreneur all her life while raising her children.

She spent several decades volunteering her time in industry related issues and was influential in helping create new regulations as well as changing policies in her state. After enduring many painful experiences, she has found a new path. She is now happily married and a mother of three amazing children, two step children and 5 grandchildren. She continues to run her business and spends a lot of her time with her family as well as writing and has come to enjoy sailing for relaxation. Denise began a transformation after the death of her oldest son. It was during that time that she began to question everything about her life and stepped onto the journey to her awakening. It was during the depths of this despair that she began to channel her pain to look for a deeper purpose in her life. Meditation and writing have become part of her everyday life. The writings began in a unique way and continue to be very prominent in her life. It first began by writing about things that were sometimes difficult and hard to accept. But as the journey continued, the realization that these were messages that were meant to be delivered to the masses came through clearly. The book is a result of those writings, it is long past time to begin the conversation to end generational trauma and begin to heal the world one soul at a time. There has been so much hidden abuse for generations and it has carried through each and every one of us. This has been a healing journey which she is grateful to be on. Her hope is to help others thru this process and deliver GOD's messages to the world.   JOURNEY TO THE AWAKENING Available on Amazon, Audible and iTunes Amazon Audible iTunes   Kristin Aurelia Author, Re-Creation: Surviving the Human Experience Kristin Aurelia grew up in a small town in New England.

One size does not fit all.   To truly build an equitable workplace, employers must give each employee what they need to do their best at work. When an employer gives each of its employees exactly the same kind of support, this good intention often results in disengagement and exclusion.   Why? Because many of us have different roles, we likely are at different places in our careers, we have different learning and work styles, and we need different kinds of emotional support. When an employer honors these differences, and works to meet them, their employees achieve success.   Giving our employees the support they need to do their best at work, is a core ingredient to build a belonging culture at work. This kind of work culture translates into a workforce more capable to design for identity, meeting the different needs of their clients and customers.   Today's guest, Jessica Bantom, author of Design for Identity, will help us recognize why this kind of inclusive design helps improve the culture of work. Jessica's career as a DEI practitioner and interior designer has led to her ongoing exploration of the intersections of design and diversity.   She completed her master's degree in interior design at Marymount University and her Bachelors at the University of Virginia, and she is certified as an Associate Diversity Coach through the CoachDiversity Institute in collaboration with the Howard University School of Business. Jessica's unique blend of business and design practices give her practical and artistic capabilities that inform her approach to solve for very real human challenges.   During our conversation we discussed why human-centered design matters, what the six habits of culturally responsive designers include and how to apply them, how to overlay Jessica's Design for Identity Blueprint with the standard design process, and why the future of work is one that knows how to design for identity.   Savor this insightful talk, and if you're looking for ways to connect with inspiring leaders like Jessica, be sure to join the Belonging Membership Community – a community of leaders committed to advancing their DEI goals while practicing community care. Members have the unique opportunity to engage with our guests 1:1 after our podcast recordings where they can participate in a private Q&A session with our guest.   You can learn more here: www.belongingmembershipcommunity.com.

What happens when we explore the tension between Marxism and psychoanalysis through the lens of Phillip Reiff  and Christopher Lasch's work and its relation to Henry Miller and John Updike? Join us in this thought-provoking conversation with our guest Daniel Tutt, a renowned scholar of Marxism and psychoanalysis. We'll discuss the Frankfurt School, the cultural revolution of the 60s and 70s, and Lasch's unique perspective from Anglo-American Freudianism as a corrective to forms of Freudian Marxism considered infantile and out of touch with American dynamics.Discover the influence of Lacanian thought, its relation to right-wing Nietzscheanism, and the emergence of Pat Buchanan's book alongside the impact of the Trotsky-Tinya conservative pipeline. We'll analyze the work of notable thinkers such as Max Schattman, Tony Cliff, Paul Godfried,  MacIntyre, Rod Dreyer, and Elizabeth Brunig, and reflect on the lasting influence of McIntyre's work as well as the relevance of Virtue Ethics in today's intellectual landscape.We'll also dive into the roots of the sexual revolution in the 1950s, Ronald Reagan and Obama's reforms on local parenthesis laws, and how they are used as vectors of human capital. We'll examine the culture wars and their mutually constitutive nature, as well as the implications of modern intellectual life and the importance of giving due consideration to all perspectives. Don't miss this engaging and insightful conversation with Daniel Tutt, where we'll challenge your understanding of Marxism, psychoanalysis, and their intersections in our society.

Jimmy and Tony Maritato In the interview, Jimmy and Tony discuss various side hustles that physical therapists can explore to potentially earn an additional $10,000 per month. They emphasize the importance of leveraging one's specialized knowledge and targeting specific niches. Some of the ideas mentioned include creating and selling digital products like courses, eBooks, or PDFs; offering consulting or coaching services to PTs, clinics, or other businesses; developing a niche blog, podcast, or YouTube channel to educate and entertain while monetizing through ads, sponsorships, or affiliate marketing; and providing concierge or "come to me" PT services for personalized care.Additionally, they mention the concept of intrapreneurship, where physical therapists can upsell services to their current employers by identifying problems in the system and proposing solutions to improve the bottom line. This approach can lead to success and help them branch out into other businesses or opportunities. Overall, the interview emphasizes the importance of focusing on the audience, understanding their problems, and offering valuable solutions that align with the therapist's interests and expertise.Visit https://ptpintcast.com/Host: Jimmy McKay, PT, DPTJimmy is the Director of Communications for Mount Sinai Hospital in the Division of Rehabilitation and Human Performance and the Abilities Research Center (ARC). He has a degree in Physical Therapy from Marymount University and a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from St. Bonaventure University.Jimmy was a rock radio DJ for 15 years, most recently as Program Director & Afternoon Drive host for 97.9X (WBSX-FM).He has presented at State and National Conferences.
