In this episode, Tom sits down with conductor Lorenzo Lopez for a rich conversation that spans culture, music, and the surprising paths that shape an artist's life. Calling in from Cleveland, Lorenzo shares his Honduran–Puerto Rican roots, growing up in a multicultural household, and how food, family, and community helped shape his identity. He talks about his time in Indianapolis while earning his master's degree at Butler University, the city's vibrant Latino presence, and how those experiences influenced his artistic journey. Lorenzo dives deep into the world of conducting—how he went from piano and French horn to discovering the “magic” of leading an orchestra, why ballet collaborations challenge and inspire him, and what it truly means to honor a composer's intentions while still bringing your own voice to the podium. From the joys and struggles of live music in dance to the importance of experience, communication, and artistic conviction, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what a conductor actually does and why it matters. Tune in for an insightful, human, and inspiring look into the mind and passion of a modern conductor.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: A Winter's Symphony: Love Unfolds at a Stockholm Café Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-11-30-08-38-20-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en klar och kall vintermorgon i Stockholm.En: It was a clear and cold winter morning in Stockholm.Sv: Snön täckte gatorna som ett vitt, mjukt täcke.En: The snow covered the streets like a white, soft blanket.Sv: I den livliga företagsdistriktet mitt i stan, där folk skyndade fram med bestämda steg, låg ett litet mysigt kafé.En: In the bustling business district in the middle of town, where people hurried along with determined steps, lay a small cozy café.Sv: Ljusslingor prydde fönstren, och doften av nybakade saffransbullar fyllde luften.En: Strings of lights adorned the windows, and the scent of freshly baked saffron buns filled the air.Sv: Inne på kaféet satt Johan ensam vid ett hörnbord, hans näsa djupt begraven i en bok.En: Inside the café sat Johan alone at a corner table, his nose deeply buried in a book.Sv: Johan jobbade som marknadsanalytiker.En: Johan worked as a marketing analyst.Sv: Han trivdes för det mesta med sitt eget sällskap, men bakom hans bok var hans blick ibland vilsen och en aning ensam.En: He mostly enjoyed his own company, but behind his book, his gaze was sometimes lost and slightly lonely.Sv: Vid ett bord intill satt Astrid, en projektledare med ett alltid glatt sinne.En: At a nearby table sat Astrid, a project manager with an always cheerful disposition.Sv: Astrid såg livet som fullt av möjligheter och letade efter någon som delade hennes intresse för de små glädjeämnena i livet, som klassisk musik.En: Astrid saw life as full of opportunities and was looking for someone who shared her interest in the small joys of life, like classical music.Sv: Astrid lade märke till den tyste mannen med boken flera gånger tidigare.En: Astrid had noticed the quiet man with the book several times before.Sv: "Hej," sa hon en dag med ett varmt leende när deras blickar möttes.En: "Hello," she said one day with a warm smile when their eyes met.Sv: Johan tittade upp, något förvånad.En: Johan looked up, somewhat surprised.Sv: "Hej," svarade han blygt.En: "Hello," he replied shyly.Sv: De började prata, först om arbetet men snart om musik.En: They began to talk, first about work but soon about music.Sv: Båda var oförklarligt dragna till den tidlösa skönheten av klassisk musik.En: Both were inexplicably drawn to the timeless beauty of classical music.Sv: Johan kände hur hans reserverade fasad började smälta när Astrid pratade om sin senaste upplevelse på en konsert.En: Johan felt how his reserved facade started to melt as Astrid talked about her latest experience at a concert.Sv: Hennes entusiasm var smittsam.En: Her enthusiasm was contagious.Sv: Dagarna gick, och varje gång Johan såg Astrid på kaféet kände han en starkare dragning till henne.En: Days went by, and every time Johan saw Astrid at the café, he felt a stronger attraction to her.Sv: Men han var rädd för att släppa någon så nära inpå, rädd för att bli sårad igen.En: But he was afraid to let someone so close, afraid of getting hurt again.Sv: En dag, under en paus, bestämde sig Johan för att ta ett första modigt steg.En: One day, during a break, Johan decided to take a first brave step.Sv: Han stirrade ner i sin kopp, samlade modet och sa, "Vill du... följa med mig till en klassisk musikkonsert?"En: He stared down into his cup, gathered his courage, and said, "Would you like to... join me for a classical music concert?"Sv: Astrids ögon lyste upp.En: Astrid's eyes lit up.Sv: "Ja, gärna!"En: "Yes, I'd love to!"Sv: svarade hon utan tvekan och med ett varmt leende som lyste upp hela rummet.En: she responded without hesitation and with a warm smile that lit up the entire room.Sv: Vid konserten satt de sida vid sida i den stämningsfulla salongen.En: At the concert, they sat side by side in the atmospheric auditorium.Sv: Ljuset dämpades, och orkestern började spela.En: The lights dimmed, and the orchestra began to play.Sv: Johan kände hur all osäkerhet sakta försvann.En: Johan felt all his insecurities slowly fade away.Sv: Mitt under den rörande symfonin vände han sig mot Astrid och log ett genuint, varmt leende.En: In the midst of the moving symphony, he turned to Astrid and gave her a genuine, warm smile.Sv: De höll varandras händer, och i det ögonblicket kändes världen mindre ensam.En: They held each other's hands, and in that moment, the world felt less lonely.Sv: När konserten var slut och de gick ut på de snöiga gatorna, hand i hand, visste Johan att något väsentligt hade förändrats inom honom.En: When the concert ended and they walked out onto the snowy streets, hand in hand, Johan knew that something fundamental had changed within him.Sv: Han hade vågat vara sårbar och i gengäld hade han fått en äkta och lovande koppling.En: He had dared to be vulnerable, and in return, he had gained a genuine and promising connection.Sv: Johan och Astrid lämnade konserten med en gemensam förståelse.En: Johan and Astrid left the concert with a mutual understanding.Sv: De skulle utforska detta band de delade, en anteckning i livet faktiskt värd att uppleva.En: They would explore this bond they shared, a note in life truly worth experiencing.Sv: Och så, medan Stockholm förberedde sig för jul ibland gnistrande snöflingorna, började deras gemensamma berättelse, som ett mjukt pianostycke med en hoppfull melodi.En: And so, as Stockholm prepared for Christmas amidst the sparkling snowflakes, their shared story began, like a gentle piano piece with a hopeful melody.

Depuis mes débuts avec Sage-Femme Authentique, j'ai à cœur de faire entendre des voix qui allient savoir, sensibilité et science. Dans cet épisode, j'ai eu le plaisir d'échanger avec Laurence Fruscio, représentante chez Medela, une marque connue, mais surtout engagée dans une recherche de précision au service de l'allaitement.Avec Laurence, on plonge dans ce que ça veut dire comprendre et accompagner l'allaitement, en particulier dans des situations complexes, ou quand l'allaitement est séparé ou fragilisé. Medela ne se contente pas de fabriquer des machines : ils reproduisent, avec finesse, le comportement du bébé au sein.On a parlé du tire-lait Symphony, des programmes Initiate et Maintain, pensés pour coller aux différentes phases de lactation et de l'importance d'un accompagnement formé et informé pour guider les mères.Mais surtout, on vous présente le tout nouveau Medela Magic InBra Double, un tire-lait nomade, discret, double, qui permet aux mères de tirer leur lait les mains libres, en mobilité, en douceur, tout en respectant la physiologie.C'est une vraie avancée, et surtout une réponse concrète aux besoins des femmes qui veulent allaiter mais qui doivent aussi continuer à vivre, bouger, travailler.Un épisode riche, pour toutes celles et ceux qui soutiennent l'allaitement et qui veulent des outils à la hauteur des enjeux.

Sometimes the moment that wakes you up isn't a business win, it's life reminding you to look up. This week, I'm taking you to London. From seeing Coldplay live to watching the Simón Bolívar Symphony (where my dad is one of the founders), to catching up with old friends who are now leading global brands, this trip made me realize something powerful about creating in isolation. You can't find new ideas if you're always alone behind a screen. You find them when you step outside your bubble, connect with real people, and let life feed your creativity again. I'm Veronica Di Polo, marketing strategist and host of the Branding Momentum Podcast, based in Moraira, Alicante, Spain. Helping service-based business owners get visible and grow with words that sell. If your creativity's been flat lately, this episode will help you remember how to bring energy, connection, and real inspiration back into your business.

Story Transcript:Hu: A nap csípős őszi reggelével köszöntött be Budapestre.En: The sun greeted Budapest with a crisp autumn morning.Hu: A város szíve, a Nagy Vásárcsarnok, megtelt élettel.En: The heart of the city, the Nagy Vásárcsarnok (Great Market Hall), was filled with life.Hu: A levegőben a friss kenyér, fűszerek és sült gesztenye illata vegyült.En: The air blended with the scent of fresh bread, spices, and roasted chestnuts.Hu: Lajos állt a csarnok bejáratánál, szemével Zsófiát keresve.En: Lajos stood at the entrance of the market, searching with his eyes for Zsófia.Hu: Őrangyalként vigyázott minden részletre az esemény tervezése közben.En: Like a guardian angel, he watched over every detail while planning the event.Hu: Az évforduló fontos volt neki.En: The anniversary was important to him.Hu: Szerette volna bebizonyítani, hogy még mindig képes valami különlegeset alkotni.En: He wanted to prove that he was still capable of creating something special.Hu: Zsófia közelített felé, karján színes vászonzsákokkal tele friss zöldségekkel és virágokkal.En: Zsófia approached him, with colorful canvas bags filled with fresh vegetables and flowers on her arm.Hu: Egyszerre volt energikus és spontán, de most egy gondolat nem hagyta nyugodni.En: She was both energetic and spontaneous, yet now a thought wouldn't let her rest.Hu: Érezte, hogy Lajos titkol valamit.En: She felt that Lajos was hiding something.Hu: „Mit szólnál egy kis kóstolóhoz?En: "How about a little tasting?"Hu: ” – kérdezte Zsófia mosolyogva, próbálva elterelni gondolatait.En: Zsófia asked with a smile, trying to divert her thoughts.Hu: „Jó ötlet” – felelte Lajos kissé nyugtalanul.En: "Good idea," replied Lajos somewhat uneasily.Hu: Míg sétáltak, Lajos Áronra gondolt.En: As they walked, Lajos thought about Áron.Hu: Áron, a barátjuk, mesterművész és kicsit bohém, akinek hála sok ötlet frissült az eseményre.En: Áron, their friend, a master artist and a bit bohemian, thanks to whom many ideas were refreshed for the event.Hu: De az is biztos volt, hogy Áron hajlamos volt az utolsó pillanatban változtatni tervein.En: But it was also certain that Áron was inclined to change his plans at the last minute.Hu: Ez aggodalommal töltötte el Lajost.En: This filled Lajos with concern.Hu: „Lajos, biztos minden rendben?En: "Lajos, is everything okay?"Hu: ” – kérdezte Zsófia hirtelen, félbeszakítva a gondolatait.En: Zsófia suddenly asked, interrupting his thoughts.Hu: „Természetesen.En: "Of course.Hu: Minden a terv szerint halad” – válaszolta, bár a hangjában ott bujkált a kétely.En: Everything is going according to plan," he replied, though there was doubt lurking in his voice.Hu: A késő délutáni nap meleg fénybe vonta a csarnok és a felhalmozott áruk sokszínűségét.En: The late afternoon sun cast a warm glow over the market and the diversity of piled-up goods.Hu: Az emberek sertepertéltek, és az árusok hangosan kínálták portékáikat.En: People roamed about, and vendors loudly offered their wares.Hu: Az esemény kezdődött, és Áron megérkezett, vállán keresztben egy teli hátizsák.En: The event was starting, and Áron arrived with a full backpack slung across his shoulder.Hu: Bíztatva Lajos válaszát, megnyomta a zsebét és előhúzta a portékát—csillogó papírokba csomagolt műalkotások.En: Encouraging Lajos's response, he pressed his pocket and pulled out his goods—artworks wrapped in shiny papers.Hu: „Ez lesz a pont az 'i'-re!En: "This will be the dot on the 'i'!"Hu: ” – mondta Áron lelkesen.En: exclaimed Áron enthusiastically.Hu: Lajos gyomra összeszorult, miközben Áron bizonytalan rugalmassággal átrendezte az asztaldíszítéseket.En: Lajos's stomach tightened as Áron rearranged the table decorations with uncertain flexibility.Hu: A vendégek már gyülekeztek, és Zsófia egyre éberibbé vált.En: Guests were already gathering, and Zsófia became increasingly alert.Hu: Mégis, ahogy a rendezvény folyt, valami varázslatos történt.En: Yet, as the event continued, something magical happened.Hu: Áron improvizációi lenyűgözték a vendégeket.En: Áron's improvisations fascinated the guests.Hu: A káosz és spontán átalakulás megragadta az est hangulatát.En: The chaos and spontaneous transformation captured the essence of the evening.Hu: Zsófia Lajoshoz lépett, mosolyogva.En: Zsófia approached Lajos, smiling.Hu: „Ez csodálatos, Lajos.En: "This is wonderful, Lajos.Hu: Bízom benned.En: I trust you."Hu: ”Lajos megnyugodott.En: Lajos was relieved.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy a részletesség és a kreativitás egyensúlya kulcs a sikerhez.En: He had learned that the balance between attention to detail and creativity was key to success.Hu: A bemutató nem csak Lajos terve volt, hanem mindhárom barát közös munkájának eredménye, aki most már jobban értékelte Áron ötleteit és Zsófia érzékenységét.En: The showcase was not just Lajos's plan but the result of the combined efforts of the three friends, who now valued Áron's ideas and Zsófia's sensitivity more.Hu: A nap végére Lajos nemcsak szerelme bizalmát erősítette meg, de saját magában is újra felfedezte az alkotás örömét.En: By the end of the day, Lajos not only reinforced the trust of his love but also rediscovered the joy of creation within himself.Hu: Az este varázslata itt maradt, a fény és az emberek mosolyával együtt.En: The evening's magic lingered, along with the light and people's smiles.Hu: Budapest szívében újra fellobbant a valódi ünneplés lángja.En: In the heart of Budapest, the true flame of celebration ignited once again.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has once again proven why she remains a singular force in country music, business, and American culture, with a flurry of significant activities and developments in just the past few days. On November 21, Dolly launched a fresh national tour for her stage musical Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol. This adaptation of Dickens' classic, set in Depression-era Appalachia and infused with original music and Appalachian melodies, is slated to visit more than 20 cities through the holiday season. Critics and cast members alike are praising the show's emotional warmth and Parton's unique songwriting, describing it as a new American classic destined to become a holiday tradition, according to DollyParton.com and regional theaters including the Carson Center and the Baker Center for the Arts.Parallel to the tour, Dolly unveiled her innovative Threads My Songs in Symphony experience, with performances in Raleigh, North Carolina on November 21 and 22. This multimedia orchestral event features Dolly onscreen, leading audiences through orchestrated versions of her most iconic hits plus previews from her upcoming Broadway musical. Dolly explains that Threads is about weaving the story of her life through her music, engaging fans in an immersive, biographical celebration through new sonic arrangements, as shared in details from the North Carolina Symphony and Visit Raleigh.In business news, excitement continues to swirl around the announcement that Dolly Parton's Tennessean Travel Stops will be rebranded, with a major flagship in Cornersville, Tennessee launching in Summer 2026. This collaboration seeks to redefine highway travel experiences across the South, creating new jobs and expanding the reach of Dolly's homegrown brand, as highlighted on her official website.On the music front, Dolly created holiday buzz with the release of a special limited-edition picture disc vinyl for A Holly Dolly Christmas, celebrating the album's 5th anniversary. Only 2,000 copies were pressed, making it a quick sell-out and a highly coveted item among collectors. Dolly promoted this release personally to her 8.2 million Instagram followers, sparking enthusiastic responses and holiday playlist debates, according to a November 21 feature from Parade.However, recent headlines have also focused on Dolly's health. Owing to what she called unspecified “health challenges,” Dolly has canceled several major appearances, including her in-person attendance at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Hall of Fame induction on November 17 and the 2025 Governors Awards where she was to receive an honorary Oscar. In a heartfelt message posted to Dollywood's official channels and covered by outlets such as Parade and The Today Show, Dolly reassured fans that her doctors advised rest and she remains grateful for the recognition and support, albeit from afar.Social media this week overflowed with fans sending well wishes and celebrating Dolly's continued resilience and creativity, even speculating about whether these recent health setbacks could signal a semi-retirement—a claim unconfirmed by any direct statement from Dolly or her team.Dolly Parton's presence this week underscores her lasting cultural significance, with creative, commercial, and personal headlines reflecting a woman still at the heart of music, storytelling, and Southern enterprise—even when she has to step back for her health.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton just can't be kept out of the headlines even when she's not physically able to attend events. On November 16, Dolly accepted her first Oscar—the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award—at the Academy's Governor Awards, delivered via a heartfelt video message filmed in Nashville. According to People and Cat Country, Parton beamed about being “blessed more than I ever dreamed possible,” with a touching nod to her charitable efforts, especially the Imagination Library project that's put 285 million books into kids' hands worldwide. Lily Tomlin, her legendary 9 to 5 co-star, presented the honor, solidifying a four-decade Hollywood friendship and giving a biographically critical moment of recognition for a lifetime of service.But Dolly's acceptance came under a health cloud. The Today Show and Global News both highlighted how Dolly has been open about experiencing recent health challenges, requiring her to postpone her much-hyped Las Vegas concert run at Caesars Palace. She addressed fans directly in multiple video appearances, explaining her absence not only from Vegas but also from a milestone Dollywood event, where the famed attraction was inducted into a Hall of Fame to mark its 40th year. While specifics about her condition remain private, her remarks radiate resilience, and nowhere on social media has she suggested these are anything but temporary setbacks.Despite these health issues, Dolly's work endures. The musical Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol, featuring her original songs and that signature Dolly sparkle, kicked off a 2025 U.S. national tour this week with stops in over 20 cities. The production, as covered by DollyParton.com and the Carson Center's Broadway series materials, has been lauded by both cast and fans as a moving update of Dickens, reimagined through a distinctly Appalachian lens and aiming to become a new holiday tradition.Off the main stage, Dolly Parton's symphonic multimedia experience, Threads: My Songs in Symphony, brought orchestras and guest vocalists together in Raleigh for an immersive celebration of her songwriting legacy, complete with her on-screen narration. According to the North Carolina Symphony, the experience weaves performance, biography, and musical story in ways that continue to redefine country music's public profile.As for buzz, Dolly's social media has stayed focused on gratitude for her awards, boosting the tour's ticket sales, and reassuring fans that, as she herself put it, “the threads of my life are woven together through my songs.” There's plenty of tongue-wagging about her health, but not from Dolly herself; the legend is keeping it positive, visible, and, as always, deeply connected to the people. With an Oscar finally on her shelf, a Broadway-bound symphony, and a beloved Christmas tour underway, Dolly Parton remains as much a force of nature as Tennessee's own Smokies.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In the 1960s, Leonard Bernstein famously helped to popularize the music of a then relatively obscure composer, Gustav Mahler. His work, as well as the work of other conductors, made Mahler into a classical-music household name. Mahler's symphonies are played every year all over the world, and he is firmly ensconced in the so-called canon of standard orchestral repertoire. Would it surprise you to know that Franck's D Minor Symphony once had the same reputation? It was played almost every year by most major orchestras, it was recorded by all the great conductors, and it was a fixture of the canon just like a Brahms symphony. Nowadays you would be lucky if, outside of France and Belgium, you hear Franck's Symphony once every five years, if that. The truth is that, other than a short golden period for this symphony, it has either been controversial (around the time it was premiered) or ignored (nowadays), which is a real shame, since it is a glorious piece that I would argue is drastically underrated in our modern world. The symphony was radically innovative for its time, which probably explains some of the more virulent criticism it received, but even though those innovations now sound completely normal to our ears, they are still at the heart of what makes this symphony so profoundly satisfying to listen to. Ahead of my performances of the symphony in Lille this December, I wanted to dive in and explore this unfairly ignored masterpiece. In about 40 minutes of music in three grand movements, Franck pours his soul into this work. That phrase sounds a bit cliché, I know, but I really mean it; there is an earnestness about this music that I find deeply moving, and it is something we will explore together today. We will talk about Franck's late entry into the world of composition, his reputation as an organist, and the challenges he faced in finding acceptance as a composer. Along the way, we will discuss this gorgeous piece in all of its passion and intensity. Join us!

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The past several days have been extraordinary for Dolly Parton. The biggest headline is that she was honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 2025 Governors Awards, making this her very first Oscar after decades of contributions to music, film, and especially to charity. She accepted the honor by heartfelt video message from her home in Nashville, sharing gratitude and promising to “dream up new ways to help lift people up.” The award was presented by her friend Lily Tomlin, and Dolly wore a sparkling gold dress in the video that had social media buzzing, with People Magazine posting the clip and calling her “Star of the Show.” The Academy's award recognized her philanthropic work including the Dollywood Foundation and the Imagination Library, with major media like E! News and the Oscars' own channels highlighting her moving acceptance as a milestone in her legendary career.Her appearance at the Governors Awards was especially meaningful because it was her first major public statement since health rumors began swirling in October. Speculation caught fire when her sister Freida posted that she'd been “up all night praying,” which led some fans to fear the worst. Dolly herself took to Instagram to shut down reports and, with her trademark humor, told everyone “I ain't dead yet,” even as she acknowledged she'd postponed her Las Vegas residency to prioritize recovery from health issues, reportedly due to kidney stones according to People Magazine and confirmed by her manager. Parton's representatives say she's “getting better every day,” resting at home, and already decorating for the holidays. She has continued light work remotely and made it clear she is not retiring, only slowing down briefly as doctors advised.Fans continued to flood her posts with support, especially after she addressed the rumors and gave assurance she'll be ready for “more big adventures.” In a new interview with People, she promoted her latest memoir, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage, reflecting on her six decades of hits and declaring, “I feel like I'm just getting started.” Meanwhile, “Threads: My Songs in Symphony,” an innovative concert series featuring Dolly's voice and storytelling on screen, played to sold-out audiences with orchestral arrangements.To summarize, in a single whirlwind week, Dolly Parton won an Oscar for humanitarianism, went viral for her reassuring spirit, quieted speculation about her health, promoted her new book, and advanced her legacy project with a major concert event. Accordingly, outlets like Entertainment Now and People are calling this a defining chapter in her ongoing career renaissance, showing once again that after nearly 80 years, Dolly remains an unstoppable cultural force.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.It has been a whirlwind few days in the world of Dolly Parton, with headlines buzzing about her creative projects, business moves, and signature candor. The most significant and biographically weighty news is the release of her new memoir, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage. Out as of November 12, this final installment in her trilogy is a sweeping reflection on her seven decades as a performer—from the Tennessee mountains to the global stage. As described by Penguin Random House and echoed by Entertainment Weekly, the memoir is part love letter to her fans, part career retrospective, and brims with rich stories of working with legends like Porter Wagoner, Kenny Rogers, and Emmylou Harris. On social media, Parton thanked fans, noting that her career “has been a love affair with the stage and the wonderful people who made it all possible.”With the holiday season approaching, she's in public view both on and off stage. The new North American tour of Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol—a Depression-era retelling of Dickens set in East Tennessee, with music and lyrics by Dolly herself—has just opened its 2025–2026 Broadway Series run. The Carson Center and regional venues highlight the show's uplifting family-friendly spirit and appalachian touches. While Dolly herself does not appear, her songwriting is at the heart of the production.Also capturing attention, the innovative Threads: My Songs in Symphony experience marks a new chapter in how fans see and hear her work. Rolling out in Raleigh, Oklahoma City, and other cities this November, this multimedia symphonic celebration combines new orchestral arrangements, archival footage, and Dolly's own narration on screen. She describes it as the musical tapestry of her life. Audiences are especially curious about its previews of unreleased pieces from her forthcoming Broadway musical.Businesswise, Dolly Parton's collaboration with Kendra Scott just launched its third Change It! jewelry collection, inspired by her song from 9 to 5: The Musical. Harper's Bazaar reports the holiday line is all about creative reinvention, reflecting her ongoing influence on style and self-empowerment. Recent press also noted that her business empire continues to thrive through merchandise, fragrances, books, and partnerships with brands like Duncan Hines.Finally, on the lighter side: her early-rising habits—getting up at 3 a.m.—made the rounds courtesy of American Songwriter, and fan events such as Knights of the Round (Turn)Table in Long Beach honored her classic “Jolene” with an evening of musical storytelling. As for rumors, Dolly herself addressed health speculation last month, assuring fans in a personal video that she's fine, taking some time off to care for her husband and focus on work.Cultural columnists are almost unanimous: at 79, Dolly Parton remains as vital and generative as ever, weaving new threads for future generations and still finding ways to say, “I ain't got time to get old.”Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This Day in Legal History: Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. MahonOn this day in legal history, November 14, 1922, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon, a foundational case in American property law. At issue was a Pennsylvania statute—the Kohler Act—that prohibited coal mining beneath certain structures to prevent surface subsidence. The Pennsylvania Coal Company had previously sold the surface rights to a parcel of land but retained the right to mine the coal beneath. When the state blocked their ability to do so, the company sued, arguing that the law had effectively stripped them of valuable property rights without compensation. The case reached the Supreme Court, where Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. delivered the majority opinion.In his decision, Holmes introduced the now-famous principle that “while property may be regulated to a certain extent, if regulation goes too far it will be recognized as a taking.” This line marked the birth of the regulatory takings doctrine, which holds that government actions short of full appropriation can still require just compensation under the Fifth Amendment. Holmes emphasized that the economic impact of a regulation on the property owner must be weighed, not just the public interest it serves. In this case, the regulation was deemed too burdensome to be considered a mere exercise of police power.The Court sided with the coal company, holding that the Kohler Act, as applied, amounted to an unconstitutional taking. The dissent, penned by Justice Brandeis, warned against undermining states' ability to protect public welfare. Despite being a 5–4 decision, Mahon has had lasting influence on land use, zoning, and environmental regulation. It reframed the boundaries between public regulation and private rights, signaling that not all public-interest laws are immune from constitutional scrutiny. Today, Mahon remains a cornerstone case for litigants challenging regulations that significantly diminish property value.A Texas judge is set to hear arguments on Attorney General Ken Paxton's request to block Kenvue from issuing a $398 million dividend and from marketing Tylenol as safe during pregnancy. Paxton sued Kenvue in October, accusing the company of hiding risks linked to prenatal Tylenol use, including autism and ADHD—a claim not supported by the broader medical community. The lawsuit follows public comments by Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promoting the same unproven theory. Kenvue and Johnson & Johnson, which previously owned Tylenol, maintain the drug's safety and argue the state has no authority to interfere in federal drug regulation or corporate dividends.The companies also say the dividend will not impair Kenvue's solvency and warn that Paxton's effort could undermine both the First Amendment and the credibility of Texas courts. Paxton, however, argues that the public interest justifies intervention, citing potential future liabilities from Tylenol and talc-related lawsuits. He contends that misleading commercial speech can be regulated, and that the dividend should be halted to preserve cash in the face of those risks. The case could have broader implications, particularly for Kimberly-Clark's $40 billion acquisition of Kenvue, announced shortly after the lawsuit. Kenvue has vowed to appeal any injunction.Judge to weigh if Texas AG can block Kenvue dividend over Tylenol claims | ReutersSierra Leone has reached a tentative settlement with U.S. law firm Jenner & Block to resolve a dispute over $8.1 million in unpaid legal fees. The law firm sued the West African nation in 2022, claiming it was still owed money for representing Sierra Leone in a high-stakes case against Gerald International Ltd., which had sought $1.8 billion in damages over an iron ore export ban. Jenner argued the legal work was more extensive than initially expected and said it had only been paid $3.6 million by the end of 2021.Sierra Leone pushed back, disputing the existence of a valid contract and asserting that no further payments were owed. The country also tried to claim sovereign immunity, but a federal judge rejected those arguments in January, allowing the lawsuit to proceed. U.S. Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey announced the settlement in principle last week, although specific terms were not disclosed. Neither party has commented publicly on the resolution.Sierra Leone, law firm Jenner & Block reach settlement over $8 million legal tab | ReutersMcDermott Will & Emery has become the first major U.S. law firm to publicly confirm that it is considering private equity investment, signaling a potential shift in how Big Law might operate. The firm's chairman acknowledged preliminary talks with outside investors, a move that stunned the legal industry, where non-lawyer ownership has long been resisted due to ethical and regulatory restrictions. McDermott is reportedly exploring a structure that would separate its legal services from administrative operations by creating a managed service organization (MSO) owned by outside investors, allowing the firm to raise capital without violating professional conduct rules.This model has gained traction among smaller firms, but McDermott's adoption could legitimize the MSO approach for large firms. Proponents argue it would free lawyers to focus on client work while upgrading support systems through external funding. Critics caution that it involves relinquishing control of critical firm functions and raises concerns about maintaining ethical standards, particularly regarding fee-sharing with non-lawyers. While still early, industry experts say other firms are beginning to explore similar paths to stay competitive, especially in jurisdictions like Arizona that allow non-lawyer ownership.McDermott's Outside Investor Talks Augur Big Law TransformationThe Trump administration has filed suit against California over its recently approved congressional redistricting maps, which were adopted through a ballot initiative known as Proposition 50. The measure, passed by voters last week, allows temporary use of new district lines that could give Democrats up to five additional U.S. House seats. The Justice Department joined a lawsuit initially filed by the California Republican Party and several voters, alleging that the redistricting plan was racially motivated and unconstitutional.U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi called the maps a “brazen power grab,” accusing California of using race to unlawfully boost Hispanic voting power. California Governor Gavin Newsom dismissed the lawsuit, framing it as retaliation for California's resistance to Trump's broader political agenda. Newsom also argued that the new maps are a necessary corrective to Republican-led gerrymandering efforts, like those in Texas, where civil rights groups have sued over alleged dilution of minority voting power.The lawsuit claims California's map violates the U.S. Constitution by improperly using race in the redistricting process. The outcome could impact the balance of power in the House and add fuel to ongoing legal battles over partisan and racial gerrymandering nationwide.Trump administration sues California over new redistricting maps | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Ludwig van Beethoven, a composer of some note.This week's closing theme is the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93 – I. Allegro vivace e con brio, a work that balances classical clarity with Beethoven's unmistakable wit and rhythmic drive. Composed in 1812 during a period of personal turmoil, the Eighth is often described as a cheerful outlier among his symphonies, compact and effervescent despite being written amid deteriorating health and emotional strain. It was premiered in 1814, but it was a revival performance on November 14, 1814, in Vienna that helped solidify its reputation and gave the public a second opportunity to appreciate its lightness and humor in contrast to the more dramatic works surrounding it.Unlike the grand scale of the Seventh or Ninth, the Eighth is shorter and more classical in form, often drawing comparisons to Haydn in its wit and economy. Yet Beethoven infuses it with his unique voice—syncopations, dynamic extremes, and abrupt harmonic shifts abound, particularly in the first movement. The Allegro vivace e con brio opens with a bold, playful theme, tossing melodic fragments between the orchestra with cheerful assertiveness. It's less stormy than many of Beethoven's first movements, but no less commanding.Critics at the time were puzzled by the symphony's restraint and humor, expecting more overt heroism from Beethoven. But modern listeners often recognize the Eighth as a masterwork of compression and invention. The first movement in particular plays with rhythmic momentum, frequently disrupting expectations just as they form. There's a confidence in its restraint, a knowing smile behind the forceful accents and offbeat rhythms. It's music that's both technically impressive and viscerally enjoyable, which is perhaps why Beethoven held it in especially high regard.As we close out the week, we leave you with that November 14 revival spirit—a reminder that even a “little Symphony” can land with enduring force.Without further ado, Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93 – I. Allegro vivace e con brio, enjoy! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Spanish pop star Rosalía is back with her new album, Lux. Over eighteen tracks, she trades in the dembow beats that filled her last record Motomami for maximalist orchestral sounds more in line with Björk than Bad Bunny.  The album is dense: there's four movements, thirteen languages, arrangements by Caroline Shaw, and a wide breadth of influences – from Benedictine saints to Patti Smith. But despite (or because) all of this, Rosalía has gone on record referring to Lux as, ultimately, a pop album.  That's where we come in. On this episode of Switched On Pop, Nate and Reanna put on their tour guide hats to talk all things Lux: its sonic genre-bending, Rosalía's poetic lyricism, and her hyper-local flamenco influence.  Songs discussed: Rosalía – Berghain Rosalía – Bizcochito Rosalía – De Madrugá Rosalía – Mio Cristo Rosalía – La Yugular Björk – Joga Caroline Shaw, Roomful of Teeth – Partita for 8 Voices Rosalía – Sexo, Violencia y Llantas Rosalía – Divinize Rosalía – Porcelana Rosalía – Dios Es Un Stalker The Police – Every Breath You Take Rosalía – La Perla Johann Strauss II – The Blue Danube Drake – Push Ups Rosalía – Sauvignon Blanc Lady Gaga – Grigio Girls Adele – I Drink Wine Rosalía – Focu ‘Ranni Rosalía – Novia Robot Rosalía – La Rumba del Perdón Learn more about your ad choices.
