News Brief: Coronavirus, South Carolina Primary, India Welcomes Trump

The coronavirus is spreading in ways that make it even more mysterious.

Right. So first, there's some good news. The number of confirmed cases in China is reportedly dropping. But at the same time, there are significant new outbreaks in South Korea and in Italy. And at least eight people in Iran have died from the virus. Now, those countries and others are doing what they can to contain it. The problem is no one really understands how this virus is being transmitted.

MARTIN: NPR's Jason Beaubien has been following the coronavirus story and joins us now from Hong Kong. So, Jason, why this rise in cases all of a sudden in several different places over the last few days?

JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: It's really not clear why, all of a sudden, we're getting the sudden outbreaks in all of these different places. We don't know exactly what the chain of transmission was that has sparked this. And that makes it even harder to respond to it. These new outbreaks came on, really, incredibly quickly. Last week, Italy had only reported three cases. Now they're reporting more than 150.

MARTIN: Right.

BEAUBIEN: Iran, as of last week, hadn't reported any cases. And now they've got several dozen confirmed and, as you mentioned, at least eight dead. That death number suggests that the outbreak probably had been brewing for a while and that there could be potentially hundreds of cases that are out there that are undetected. South Korea now is up above 800 cases. Again, that explosion of cases, most of them were coming last week. There was 150 cases reported yesterday, another 70 reported today out of Korea. And in addition, it's not just these big outbreaks. We're also seeing seven Middle Eastern countries now all having reported a case at least. So it's spreading both geographically, and you're getting these new hotspots.

MARTIN: So what do those countries do, I mean, especially in a place where there's only, like, well, you know, one or a handful of cases? Do they lock the whole place down still?

BEAUBIEN: So those places are trying to contain it, where they only have one or two cases. Places like Italy and also Iran - they are going in and quarantining. Italy has put up roadblocks. You know, they're canceling school, canceling universities. Some lawmakers in Iran are talking about quarantining the city of Qom, maybe even having to quarantine Tehran if things get much worse.

MARTIN: What's going on in Hong Kong, where you are?

BEAUBIEN: So Hong Kong is kind of cruising along - had another four cases today, two of them were people who had come back. And they were in quarantine. They had been on the Diamond Princess. So we've got five people who tested negative in Japan from the Diamond Princess. Now they're back, and they've tested positive. And then there's two other cases. We have another cluster at a Buddhist temple here. They've got tens of thousands of people under home quarantine. You know, they're trying to manage this as best they can. But you're not seeing the huge numbers like you are in some other places.

MARTIN: So what's the messaging right now from World Health officials? - especially because it just seems so nonsensical where it's popping up and to what degree.

BEAUBIEN: Yeah. There's, you know, great concern that we have reached a turning point. I talked to this guy Dirk Pfeiffer. He studies emerging infectious diseases at the City University of Hong Kong. And he was basically saying that he believes this has become a pandemic, and the world should start preparing for transmission occurring globally. We're also hearing similar things to that from the World Health Organization. And basically, people are saying we may need to really shift now and think about this differently, think about it as something like the flu that we're going to have to deal with on an ongoing basis and not as an emergency.

MARTIN: NPR's Jason Beaubien. We appreciate it.

MARTIN: All right. The Democratic presidential primary now moves to South Carolina this week.

KING: That's right. And so candidates will turn their focus there. Meanwhile, on Saturday, Bernie Sanders won the Nevada caucuses overwhelmingly. Entrance polls show that he won many important demographic groups - men and women, voters 64 and younger. And he won big among Latinx voters.

MARTIN: All right. NPR's Tamara Keith is with us this morning. Hi, Tam.

MARTIN: So help us sketch out what is ahead. How does what happened in Nevada, which is a Bernie Sanders victory - how will that play into or shift the sands in South Carolina?

KEITH: We can't be sure. But what I know is that Bernie Sanders has added an extra rally in South Carolina, which is to say that there is a sense of momentum. And his campaign looked at the results in Nevada and said, hey, maybe we have a chance to make a play in South Carolina.

MARTIN: Had they not thought that, Tam?

KEITH: Certainly, he was going to try in South Carolina. But the fact that they're adding more means that they see a chance to really compete with Vice President Joe Biden in a state, South Carolina, that he has really staked his candidacy on. Vice President Biden has said South Carolina is the state - that he needed to do well in Nevada, and he needs to win in South Carolina. Well, he got second place in Nevada...

MARTIN: Right.

KEITH: ...And now you turn to South Carolina.

MARTIN: So let's play a clip. This is the former vice president speaking on MSNBC yesterday.

JOE BIDEN: I really believe I'm going to do very well here. And I'm going to do very well on Super Tuesday. I've had the broadest constituency in the sense that working class, high-school-educated whites and African Americans have been the base of my support.

MARTIN: And as you noted, South Carolina obviously very important to Joe Biden. He has enjoyed a double-digit lead there for a long time. But, I mean, how solid is his advantage at this moment?

KEITH: There is not a lot of really great polling out of South Carolina. So it's not clear just how much the ground has shifted under him or whether it has. But this is a state that is absolutely critical for him. At this point in the race, there's the Bernie Sanders lane. And then there is a traffic jam in the everyone else lane.

MARTIN: That's a good way to put it.

KEITH: And every other candidate is trying to prove that they are in the strongest position to take on Sanders and eventually President Trump. And Biden is looking for the results in South Carolina to prove that for him, for him to be able to say, hey, look. I've got this broad base. What Bernie Sanders got out of Nevada was he is now able to say that he has a very broad base, that he was able to expand beyond young white people.

MARTIN: So as we'll talk about in a few minutes, President Trump has been in India. He is in India. And notably, there are no Democrats holding political rallies there for their campaigns. And I say that because Trump's travel schedule has tended to run in parallel to the Democratic contenders as of late.

KEITH: He's been something of a shadow or a counterprogrammer. About a day before every single one of these Democratic primary contests, he has shown up. So he is going to South Carolina on Friday before their Saturday primary. And then on Monday, he goes to North Carolina. And that is one of the 14 states and territories voting on Super Tuesday.

MARTIN: All right. NPR's Tam Keith for us. We appreciate it.

KEITH: You're welcome.

MARTIN: All right. Huge adoring crowds, baseball hats with simple slogans and a big personality on stage. These are the basic ingredients of a Trump rally anywhere in America. Today, though, it is the scene in Gujarat, India.

KING: That's the sound of a crowd inside a cricket stadium. And those baseball caps don't say Make America Great Again. They say Namaste, Trump. India's prime minister, Narendra Modi, was in the U.S. last fall for an event called Howdy, Modi. And today, India returned the favor. President Trump was invited to give an address during his visit to India.

MARTIN: NPR's Lauren Frayer was at that very rally, and she joins us now. Hi, Lauren.

MARTIN: You're still there. So are people still lingering? I mean, what's the atmosphere like?

FRAYER: This is a stadium of 100,000 people all wearing white baseball caps that you mentioned that read Namaste in Hindi - that means hello or welcome - and then Trump in English. And they were blasting Bollywood songs. But they switched to the song "Macho Man" just as Trump and Modi took the stage.

FRAYER: It feels like every lamppost in this city is plastered with portraits of Trump and Modi holding hands. This is Modi's home state. And he's just throwing a gigantic welcome party for Trump. There are school groups here, Hindu nationalist groups, business leaders. I saw a bare-chested guy with his whole body painted in the colors of the U.S. and Indian flags.

FRAYER: There are some - yeah. There are some Indian Americans here. I spoke with Daksha Dalal (ph). She came all the way from Kansas City.

DAKSHA DALAL: I'm feeling proud and exuberant that two big democracies in action, you know, working together - one on the East, one on the West.

FRAYER: And she's a registered Democrat, but she voted for Trump last time. And she says she'll do so again in November.

MARTIN: Amazing. So, I mean, they've rolled out the red carpet. Modi has gone all out. Clearly, there are a lot of fans there for Modi and Trump. But more broadly, I mean, is Donald Trump popular in India?

FRAYER: He is. He's very popular. He is seen as a strong leader. You've got to go back to 1959 and Dwight Eisenhower to find a U.S. president addressing a crowd like this in India. Trump had praise for Modi when he spoke to the crowd. And it was just effusive. Here's what he had to say.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: America loves India. America respects India. And America will always be faithful and loyal friends...

TRUMP: ...To the Indian people.

FRAYER: The crowd cheered when Trump said he's working to fight Islamist terrorism. The only time the crowd went silent was when Trump mentioned how he's also working with Pakistan, India's archrival. But really, mostly it was light. He mentioned Bollywood films. He dropped a few famous names of cricket stars - botched the pronunciations of some of those, but the crowd went wild nonetheless.

MARTIN: (Laughter) Yeah, it's the effort counts, I guess. So is this just about the spectacle of all of it? Or is there any policy being made on this trip?

FRAYER: Not much. I mean, this trip seems to be, so far, more about pageantry and optics over substance. This evening, Trump and the first lady are going to the Taj Mahal and then will overnight in the capital, New Delhi. Tomorrow is the policy day. And Trump will be holding bilateral meetings and possibly some trade talks there.

MARTIN: Maybe catch a Bollywood film. Who knows?

FRAYER: Who knows (laughter)?

MARTIN: NPR's Lauren Frayer. She was talking to us from the enormous rally in India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had welcomed President Trump, who gave an address there just moments ago. Lauren, thanks. We appreciate it.

FRAYER: You're welcome. Namaste.

MARTIN: Namaste. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

IPL Project Greenspace

Who's ever heard of wanting to take a break in the pounding sun, in the middle of paved parking lot, surrounded by asphalt streets?

Our IPL Project GreenSpace program was created to transform vacant lots and underused spaces into natural, beautiful, and functional pocket parks and greenspaces.

We work with neighborhood groups and organizations all over Marion County to add greenness that welcomes all to enjoy the beauty of native landscapes and strengthen community bonds and sense of identity. Community-created and maintained parks build connections for a healthy neighborhood and the native landscapes that benefit people and wildlife.

Applications for 2021 GreenSpaces are currently closed.

2022 GreenSpace Applications will open in a couple months.

Thinking about applying in the future? View a copy of the application here.

Applications for 2021 GreenSpaces close on May 31, 2020!

Watch our Digital Application Workshop! Director of Community Engagement, Roland Smith, and Vice President of Program Strategies, Joseph Jarzen, talk through the program, the process, and address so frequently asked questions. Reach out for more info!

Read below to learn more about what applying for IPL Project GreenSpace means for you, your community, and the earth!

Are you committed to beautifying Indy? Here's what we look for in a partner:

  • Volunteers: At least half of the volunteers on any given project day must come from the neighborhood.
  • Partnership Development: You'll engage neighbors, businesses, churches, and community organizations who might provide additional project support.
  • Maintenance Commitment: Individuals on your team will take on specific maintenance roles and coordinate volunteers to weed, water, and care for the site.

To ensure project success and sustainability, KIB makes a multi-year commitment to its project partners.

  • Expertise, support, and guidance: KIB will provide support in community engagement, design, volunteer recruitment and coordination, project implementation, and maintenance.
  • Native plants and trees: KIB will purchase plants and trees. At the end of the project, partners will receive a care binder that will outline common weeds, care of the native plantings, and the importance of eliminating invasive species.
  • Paths, benches, shelters, and nature play equipment: Hardscape elements called for in the design will be secured by KIB to help complete the site.
  • Stewardship support: KIB will work with the project partner to identify specific maintenance needs such as watering and will schedule follow-up workdays, bringing the tool trailer and volunteers.

Less stress, better concentration, longer life spans, less crime, happier people. These are all researched-backed reasons why a little greenness goes a long way.

From tiny street corner parks to excavated parking lots, we specialize in taking a little bit of potential and turning it into a big, green impact. It's about more than good looks for us. Our Native Landscapes department improves the ecological and environmental conditions within Indianapolis by creating and restoring native habitat, connecting the community with our urban environment, and creating happy patches of nature through the city for people like you to spend time together.

What we plant matters. Just like your grocery shopping, think local when planting.

greenspace image

Native plants are the foundation of our ecosystem. Landscapes without plants native to Indiana will also be missing the native insects that support the rest of the ecosystem and provide services like pollination and pest control.

The places we work in matter. We work in neighborhoods. Across from people's homes. In spaces that will become a gathering space for all. The parks and greenspaces we create are unique and created with the community. We partner with Arts Council of Indianapolis and the Indiana Historical Society to commission art pieces or historic installations that reflect the community's vision and culture.

Read stories about the impact of our spaces.

Apply for a 2021 IPL Project GreenSpace in your neighborhood!

KIB creates three to five new community greenspaces each year by partnering with neighborhoods who have strong applications that are rooted in community collaboration, long-term maintenance plans, and a focus on turning their space into a community asset. Fill out an online application below or download a 2020 application.

Questions? Contact Ethan Olson at 317-264-7555 x104.

From building and planting at our current projects to weeding and maintenance at our finished spaces, we need a lot of help to turn community dreams into green realities. Head over to the project calendar to sign up!

Visit our new Sustainability Program page for more info!

We aren't a one-and-done kind of organization. After one year of working to design, build, and plant a space, KIB staff are committed to two years of maintenance with our community partners. Why? Because we care about the people and places we work with and want to see them survive and thrive.

GreenKeepers: Past project GreenSpace and GreenKids partners can join our GreenKeepers network to share resources, organize volunteer days, and stay in touch with KIB. Find more info on the GreenKeepers Facebook page.

Stewardship Assistance Program (SAP): Past project partners active in our GreenKeepers group are encouraged to apply for funding to help complete maintenance and other greenspace projects. Grants can be requested for up to $500. If you're awarded a grant, you can buy what you need and send us your receipts, and we'll reimburse your costs. (If you're unable to cover expenses upfront, please let us know.)

Have a question? Contact Kelly DeRolf at kderolf@kibi.org or 317-264-7555 x120.

Wondering if there's a KIB GreenSpace near you? Check out our map to find current and past projects. We hope to see you outside enjoying the space, taking care of a pocket park, or joining us on a volunteer day!

I raise the issue of the system that is broken. Lalini Veerassamy, chief of mission of the International Organisation for Migration in Ireland, said direct provision is not bad but she believes standards can be improved. Direct provision is what we have but it is not good enough. It is not right at all. It might be good enough as a first port but it cannot be a forever home. To read yesterday that there are still 700 people living in direct provision centres who are legally allowed -----

Pet Insurance

Fetching Protection for Your Furbabies

Whether jogging down the street or cruising down the coast, a trusted companion is a welcome addition to any Florida adventure. All it takes is a simple wag of a tail or hum of a purr for the day to propel ahead without a cloud in the sky.

As a pet owner, you have a responsibility to return this undivided attention through proper care. Similar to how a child relies on their parent, pets look toward their owner for security. Your pet instills trust in you. At King Insurance, you can instill trust in us to keep your furry friend covered – from nose to tail – with comprehensive pet insurance.

Insurance Coverage Designed for Four-Legged Friends

If you’re the proud owner of a dog, cat, or other pet, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve paid a costly visit to the veterinarian. The health of your pet is a primary concern; therefore, recurring visits to the vet are a common occurrence. Keep in mind, these trips are not cheap, and costs can add up quickly.

The setup of pet insurance is often very similar to the framework of human health insurance, with deductibles, premiums, and co-pays included. Our agents work with a selection of pet-approved insurance companies, focused on seamlessly managing claims. The cloud-based system offered by Figo is a great example of this ease of doing business, with paperless access to pet insurance information, medical records, and claims available.

In some cases, a homeowners policy will extend to encompass liability protection for your pet. However, a pet insurance policy is required to compensate veterinary attention. Again in line with human health insurance, the cost of medical coverage is largely dependent on the age of the insured pet. At King Insurance, we recommend starting your puppy, kitten, or other new family member on a plan early - before chronic or reoccurring conditions appear.

The state of Florida hosts strict liability statutes against dog owners. A majority of liability claims instituted are caused by dog bites. Florida does not recognize a one-bite rule; therefore, even if your dog has never bitten anyone, you can still be deemed responsible for injuries caused by the dog. We’ll work with you to determine the most fitting coverage for your canine, including coverage for dogs with a history of aggression.

From basic coverage to a comprehensive plan, there are various selections available for your companion. Our agents will review the options, and fetch the most accurate, cost-effective pet policy.

Friendly, Thoughtful Humans Caring for Your Pets

We love our clients almost as much as we love our pets. As an independent insurance agency, our leash isn’t tied to a singular insurance carrier. This affords our agents the flexibility to truly personalize policies for each client and their pet.

Give our agents a bark to learn more about the pet insurance plans accessible at King Insurance. If you’re interested in a real treat, request a quote to start on a policy.

At King Insurance, we’re licensed to serve a selection of states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Don't Delay. Quote Today!

Kings prize for Big Farmland Bird Count competition

bfbcCompetition entries from participants in this year’s Big Farmland Bird Count could win wild bird seed mix and a free half day advisory visit as donated by Kings.

Farmers and landowners are being urged to join in with the count, organised by the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, to help determine how farmland bird species are faring on UK farmland.

Just half an hour of recording the species and number of birds seen on one area of the farm is requested, using a simple tick list provided by GWCT which can then be submitted online. To enter the competition, farmers simply need to email or tweet a photo of the farm location being used to take part in the count, which takes place from 1st – 7th February.

Jim Egan, from GWCT, explains, “Farmers are vital in helping to ensure the future survival of many of our most cherished farmland bird species, such as skylark, yellow hammer, corn buntings and wild grey partridges. However, efforts to reverse bird declines are largely unrecorded; we believe our Big Farmland Bird Count will help remedy this and provide an opportunity to show what farmers’ conservation efforts are delivering on the ground. It is also a useful way of discovering the range of different birds on the farm and gaining personal insight into how well their birds are faring.

“Our earlier pilot count showed encouraging results, with 30 farmers, managing a total of more than 10,000ha of land, recording 69 different species on site.”

“We hope it will spur people on to do even more work for their farmland birds in the future and act as a catalyst for them to start building their own long standing wildlife records.”

Barrick Gold 1Q Output Listed At 1.05 Million Ounces

Kitco News

(Kitco News) - Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE, TSX: ABX) produced 1.05 million ounces of gold during the first quarter and sold 1.07 million, according to preliminary data reported by the company late Wednesday.

The company also produced and sold 85 million pounds of copper.

Based on past earnings reports, the gold output was down from 1.34 million ounces in the fourth quarter and 1.31 million in the year-ago period. Barrick’s fourth-quarter copper production was 99 million pounds.

BMO Capital Markets said the gold output was in line with BMO’s estimate of 1.06 million ounces. “Better-than-expected production at Barrick Nevada was offset by lower production at Turquoise Ridge, Porgera and Hemlo,” BMO said.

Nevada operations provide the largest share of Barrick’s output at 471 million ounces.

Meanwhile, BMO said Barrick’s copper output was below the BMO estimate of 111 million pounds. Barrick said the company’s first-quarter realized copper price is expected to be approximately 5% below the market average to provisional pricing adjustments.

The company is scheduled to report complete first-quarter financial results on April 23.

Veteran NFL player Stephon Tuitt went against the grain of the sports world Monday when he announced that he would refuse to kneel for the national anthem during the upcoming season.

Tuitt, who is entering his seventh season in the league, said he could not dishonor the flag that represents the country that has given him and his family so much.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman became the only black NFL star to publicly distance himself from the anthem protests, according to Newsweek.

Those protests are expected to overtake the league when the season starts.

On Thursday, Tuitt expounded on why he will stand for his country’s flag in a post on social media.

“I stand for the flag because I am a proud American,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Like previously stated, this country has provided and rewarded my family in so many ways through our perseverance and hard work. I will continue to honor my country and be an example to my children to stand for what they believe in,” Tuitt said.

“In regards to police brutality and the black lives matter movement I will support these causes through other means. It’s unfortunate that a couple unprofessional individuals have caused such havoc on our country and damaged the trust of its citizens,” he continued.

Is There Mandatory Probation in Ohio

My guess is Josh Puckett went to court for his sentencing expecting to get community control sanctions (aka non-prison term). After all, the highest level felony he pled guilty to was an F4 and the prosecutor was recommending community control. The judge in Muskingum County (Zanesville, Ohio) had another sentence in mind when he gave Mr. Puckett 24 months in an Ohio prison. Mr. Puckett appealed. Doesn't Ohio have "mandatory probation" on non-violent F4's and F5's? Not in the 5th District.

In the 5th District, if the trial judge writes the following magic words in his/her sentencing entry, all will be upheld on appeal:

["The Court has considered the record, all statements, any victim impact statement, the presentence report prepared, the plea recommendation in this matter, as well as the principles and purposes of sentencing under Ohio Revised Code §2929.11 and its balance of seriousness and recidivism factors under Ohio Revised Code §2929.12."]

I am not firmly convinced that this is what the legislature had in mind when it enacted HB 86 / SB 10 in 2011. Where is the trial court's facts to support a prison term? The record ought to be more than a recitation of statutory language. How can there be an effective appellate review? This case illustrates the way trial judges who disagree with SB 10 / HB 86 are getting around it. They are putting folks in prison without citing any factual reasons for overcoming a presumption of probation. Then, on appeal, the defendant-appellant must show an abuse of discretion. As long as the sentence is within the statutory range for each level of felony, the sentence will be sustained.

Ohio appellate courts are lost on this issue. We currently have a case from the 5th District that we are filing a Motion in Support of Jurisdiction on this exact issue in State v. Reynolds. Hopefully, the Ohio Supreme Court will take our case and force judges to follow the criminal reform of 2011.

The House Judiciary Committee should conduct a hearing to examine the attacks in Charlottesville, recent displays of white nationalism and their impact on civil rights in America, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, said Thursday.

In a letter to the committee chairman, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Virginia, Issa wrote that "we have a duty to more fully understand what led to these terrible events and the persistence of these hateful, extremist ideologies."

A woman was killed and around 20 other people hurt in clashes between white supremacists and counter-protesters on Saturday. The fatality and most injuries occurred when a car plowed into a large gathering. Police identified the driver as a 20-year-old Ohio man who, according to his former high school history teacher, had a keen interest in Hitler and Nazi Germany.

"While Congress cannot legislate respect, decency, or acceptance of others, we have an obligation to use our platform to lead our country forward on these matters," Issa wrote. He called for the full Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction on civil rights issues, to hold a hearing on Charlottesville when Congress goes back into session next month.

The congressman from northern San Diego County, who is of Lebanese descent, noted that the Attorney General's office plans to conduct a federal civil rights investigation and the House Homeland Security Committee has scheduled a Sept. 12 hearing to examine the events from the perspective of domestic terrorism.

Anton Bruckner as Symphonist

Mag. Dr. Klaus Petermayr

Dennis Russell Davies and the Bruckner Orchester Linz at the Abbey of St. Florian ©Reinhard Winkler | BOL
Dennis Russell Davies and the Bruckner Orchester Linz at the Abbey of St. Florian ©Reinhard Winkler | BOL

Bruckner composed a total of eleven symphonies: the so-called „Study Symphony“ in F minor (WAB 99), the annulled symphony in D minor (WAB 100) and the works known today as numbers I to IX (WAB 101 to 109). Except for the final one in D minor (WAB 109) all the symphonies are complete, indeed preserved in several versions. If we disregard the study composed in 1863, these works were produced in the second half of the composer‘s life (from 1865/66 to 1894), dominating it above all other genres and fully occupying Bruckner‘s creative genius. The public received them with both wild enthusiasm and great skepticism. It is with good reason that Bruckner is considered, alongside Gustav Mahler, the last of the great symphonists.

Symphony No. 2 in C minor (WAB 102), first version of 1872

Bruckner began work on his Second Symphony as early as 1871, but finished most of the composition in summer 1872. In the early, first version of the symphony the Scherzo comes immediately after the first movement. But even before the first performance, which took place on October 26th, 1873 in Vienna as part of the concluding ceremonies for the World Exhibition, Bruckner made some cuts and changes to the work, which ultimately affected the order of the movements. Further changes were made for the second performance before he subjected it to a complete revision in 1877.

With his Second, Bruckner finally found his so-called „Vienna style“. It is of great lyric beauty and is often characterized as „majestic in a way that is never ponderous“. The first movement (ziemlich schnell, Allegro) begins with a theme, answered by trumpets in an irregular rhythm, which seems to anticipate the whole work thematically and returns in the Finale. Into the Coda of the first movement, Bruckner weaves an impressive double crescendo, a relatively common artistic device during that period. The Andante of the Symphony was originally conceived by Bruckner in four parts (A-B-A-B), but was expanded to a fifth part (A‘) already during his work on the Finale. Particularly noteworthy in the final movement (Mehr schnell) is the development, which flows into a powerful crescendo that introduces the reprise. Public reaction to the first performance of the Second Symphony was thoroughly favorable.

Symphony No. 3 in D minor (WAB 103), first version of 1873

The genesis of the first version of his Third Symphony is to a large extent obscure or based only on anecdotal accounts. It is fairly certain that Bruckner already had ideas for the second movement in autumn 1872. His working method was complex and, from the perspective of today, difficult to comprehend. The composition was in a fully developed state on December 31, 1873. On May 9th of the following year, he dedicated the work to his great role model Richard Wagner. After being rejected by the Vienna Philharmonic under Otto Dessoff several times, Bruckner began making significant revisions (1876). In this second version with major cuts, the symphony made it to the Wiener Musikverein concert hall on December 16th, 1877 for a premiere performance directed by the composer. This performance was destined to be a fiasco…

The first movement (Gemäßigt, misterioso) begins with a thematic idea – an eight-measure, self-contained trumpet fanfare – which along with a second theme accompanies the listener throughout the movement. In the second movement (Adagio. Feierlich) the three thematic groups alternate freely, while in the Scherzo (third movement, Ziemlich schnell) an ostinato figuration line is connected to two themes. The movement lacks the conventional cadences and stands out for, among other things, its bold harmonic sequences. Similarly to his Second Symphony, Bruckner brings back the fanfare motif from the first movement in the Finale (Allegro). Because of the combination of a sort of „polka“ in the strings and a „chorale“ in the winds, the finale is among the best-known creations of the master from Ansfelden.

Symphony No. 7 in E major (WAB 107)

Shortly after finishing his Sixth Symphony (WAB 106), Bruckner began composing a new work (September 23, 1881). With minor interruptions, the process went relatively quickly and the work was in finished condition on September 5th, 1883. The first performance took place on December 30th, 1884 in Leipzig‘s Neues Theater under Arthur Nikitsch and became a triumphal success for the composer. This circumstance is probably also the reason why the Seventh Symphony remains one of Bruckner‘s most popular works. It is generally considered the most „balanced“ of all his symphonies. In contrast to so many other works from his pen, the composer made no serious changes to it.

In the conception of the first movement (Allegro moderato), he already proceeds in a manner unusual for him by appearing to draw out the main theme endlessly so as to dominate the structure and melodiousness of the whole movement. However, it is the Adagio – the second movement – that has become most famous. Right at the beginning (theme 1) Bruckner uses the so-called „Wagner tubas“ for the first time in his work and in the second theme of the movement he makes use of motifs from the Te Deum (WAB 45), which was composed more or less at the same time as the symphony. The final part of the Adagio was written in remembrance of Richard Wagner, who died around that time. The finale of the Seventh is structured just as impressively as all the other movements.

It essentially sums up the entire symphony and once again testifies to the great genius of its creator.

Companies with fewer than 100 employees often fail to implement formal financial management controls (especially internal audits). Perhaps this is why they are three times more likely than larger organizations to discover instances of fraud by accident and almost twice as likely to detect fraud when notified by an outside authority. Our staff can help you overcome this.

Even with thorough background checks and robust cash management policies in place, fraud is still a real risk for today’s small businesses. When you outsource your financial management to an impartial third party, you significantly reduce fraud.

Lescault and Walderman help our clients reduce fraud risk by:

  • Segregating purchasing, receiving and cash disbursement responsibilities

  • Implementing secure procedures for receivables

  • Verifying the proper authorization of purchase orders and invoices

  • Periodically reviewing purchasing patterns and vendor documentation

  • Utilizing analytical tools to monitor activity and compliance

Our accounting and consulting services provide critical oversight into your financial management activities.  Having an outside consultant overseeing the everyday numbers and resulting reports allows a system of checks and balances that practically guarantees compliance and zero-balance accountability.

Landmark Lecture 5 November 2019

This year’s Landmark Lecture was held at the magnificent Goldsmiths' Hall in London and was followed by drinks in the Drawing Room, overflowing into the Exhibition Room where there was fabulous silver and gold ware on display

The Lecture was a chance to learn more about our exciting new Landmark Cobham Dairy from some of those most closely involved with its restoration. Master Plasterer Philip Gaches described how he and his team has recreated Wyatt’s challenging plaster vaults, corbels, ceiling bosses and oak leaf clusters and, with his apprentices, showed guests the actual tools that he used for the project. Anna Keay explained the history of this most decorative of 18th-century estate buildings, built for feminine retreat and practical leisure. Landmark Historian and Head of Engagement Caroline Stanford considered architect James Wyatt’s unusual use of Penrhyn slate cladding in imitation of dressed stone at the dairy, a short-lived innovation that we have succeeded in replicating.

250 guests attended, of whom around half were Donors, Patrons, contractors, sponsors or Landmark Friends. Many others had stayed in a Landmark or had some other minor contact with us and some were completely new to Landmark.

Apple Launches Cheaper 9.7-inch iPad to Replace iPad Air

Say goodbye to the iPad Air 2. Apple has dropped the slim slate from its lineup in favor of a more-affordable 9.7-inch slate simply dubbed "iPad" that starts at just $329, but weighs a little bit more, tipping the scales at 1.03 pounds vs 0.73 pounds on the Air 2.

Don't expect brand new tech, though. The iPad shares similar specs to the late iPad Air 2, but bumped from an A8X to an A9 processor -- the same chip in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. It's available in gold, silver and space gray with a Retina display.

It starts at $329 for 32GB of storage and Wi-Fi along with a 128GB model for $429. A 32GB model that supports cellular data will run you $459 for 32GB of storage and $559 for 128GB.

MORE: iPad Buying Guide: Which One is Right for You?

That starting price is $70 less than the Air 2's starting price of $399. Notably, Apple has removed the iPad Mini 2 from its website but has left the iPad Mini 4. Other Apple updates today included Apple Clips, a video creation app, and a Project (RED) iPhone 7.

 Jeans Roma - Scarpa - Jeans Roma - La Sfinge Jeans and casual

Imagining the shape of things to come. This seems to be the story of SCARPA and of the Parisotto family, a story that is seventy years long. A path rich in memories, traditions and experiences now focussing on the future where nature, fun and uniqueness are the reference points to detect tomorrow’s winning products, for “no place is far”.

Going over the company history is like travelling through the evolution of Italian society in the last seventy years while discovering the remarkable intuition and special sensitivity of the Parisotto family, a family driven by the ambition to transform mountain and working boots, useful products in their own rights, into cult objects, the symbols of Italy at its earnest: performing, refined and wholesome. In the beginning there was craftsmanship and slowly maturing skills owing to determination, the accumulation of technical and managerial competence, actions dominated by a strong sense of time. In the old days becoming a master took long years, lots of passion and an innate ability to create an emotion: this is what SCARPA’s work is all about: the seduction of the unexpected.

SCARPA: the roots of a dream.

Fred S. McChesney on Intersection of Economics and Law

The audience attending the investiture on Thursday evening of Fred S. McChesney, JD '78, as the de la Cruz-Mentschikoff Endowed Chair in Law and Economics was treated to remarks not only by Prof. McChesney himself but by University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala, Miami Law Dean Patricia D. White, Carlos M. de la Cruz Sr., JD '79, and Timothy J. Muris, a George Mason University School Foundation Professor of Law.

These are the remarks of the honoree:

Hello. My name is Fred McChesney, and I am very proud to be here today. Thank you all for coming. It is of course a great honor to be the first holder of the de la Cruz/Mentschikoff Chair in Law and Economics. And as befits the title, I want to talk, for most of the time allotted, about what this chair is about, the intersection of economics and law. But first, it is not just appropriate, but essential, to acknowledge Carlos de la Cruz, a remarkable entrepreneur and thinker. Meeting Carlos, chatting with him at lunch, has given me much pleasure since my return to UM Law School. Without Carlos, I would not be standing here. And you would not be sitting there, hoping that my remarks will be brief so we can get to the reception.

It is equally appropriate to remember here Soia Mentschikoff, a truly remarkable figure in legal education. It was under Soia's deanship that Henry Manne established the Law and Economics Center here at the University of Miami, the reason for my coming to UM after I was a student at Columbia Law School. An article about Soia has described her as "brilliant, passionate, [and] optimistic," though "not a warm and fuzzy person." I concur with all those descriptions. I was a student in her Elements of Law class – an unforgettable experience, as any Soia student would attest. We were all terrified. But she was not there to sell warmth and fuzziness, nor to boost our self-esteem. She wanted us to learn. In my office hangs my University of Miami Law School degree, signed by Soia Mentschikoff. I still hear her voice as I stand here this afternoon.

I think it speaks volumes of both Carlos de la Cruz and of Soia Mentschikoff that Carlos insisted that the chair he endowed, after Soia's death, share her name with his. He was urged to have it named for himself alone, but would not have it. That fact says much about Carlos de la Cruz.

Quickly, let me mention two other major figures at UM who have been essential to my being here. When I needed someone on my team, President Donna Shalala went to bat for me. I use the phrase "went to bat" advisedly. At a lunch at the Riviera Country Club, she told me that if I would leave my chair at Northwestern to come here, she would give me two season tickets to the Hurricanes baseball games. Having routinely, during my first year of law school, skipped my afternoon Constitutional Law class for games at Mark Light Field, I was sold. Thanks, Donna. And thanks also for the UM hat.

Trish White held my hand through the process required to get me here. She made it clear she was on my side, and that, as we say in the South, we could "git 'er done." And we did. Thanks, Trish.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not recognize the extraordinary contributions of my law students, who made it clear that they wanted me to stay at my alma mater, and moved mountains to make it happen. Let me recognize in particular two students, Amy Araya and Craig Applebaum. Thanks, Craig and Amy.

Speaking of students, I am exceptionally proud that one James Edward McChesney is here today. Eddie is a Cane, a junior in the business program here at UM. A finer son a father could not have.

I should also acknowledge the presence of Provost LeBlanc, Associate Dean Gudridge – who joined the UM faculty while I was a student here – and members of the board of trustees. As an alum, I am delighted to be working for you. Thank you for having me.

Let me now turn to the subject of my remarks, the intersection between economics and law. That is the scope of the de la Cruz/Mentschikoff chair. It is also the gist of what I have done my whole life, as a teacher and an academic researcher. The title of my presentation is what lawyers and economists can learn from one another. By "learn" I refer to ways in which the two disciplines, in analyzing and evaluating similar phenomena, sometimes do not see things the same way. Or do not understand differences in perspective between the two fields. I include in the group "lawyers" both practicing attorneys and legislators, most of which tend to be lawyers. So, here are a few of the things that the two disciplines can learn from one another.

1. What Economists Can Learn from Lawyers

A. Law is not Legislation

Economists are social scientists. They want to know what the impact of various societal measures are on human behavior. Societal measures such as laws. But economists too often assume that "the law" is something that is just "out there," a statute or a regulation that can be read and then included in an economic model as changing human behavior according to how it is written, and analyzing human behavior on the basis of that interpretation. But as lawyers, we know that the world is a much more complicated place. One must fully appreciate how "the law" actually affects human behavior, and then analyze it accordingly.

To take an example, consider laws concerning drug use, or possession of firearms. Most states have rules governing both drugs and guns. Economists have relied on these statutes in investigating their effect on behavior. But economists' attempts to measure the impact of laws concerning drugs or guns on things like crime constantly run into a problem: the laws are vigorously enforced in some jurisdictions, and hardly enforced in others. A wonderful example of this phenomenon occurred in August in Miami Gardens, where the city announced that while it was not repealing its gun-control laws, it would no longer enforce them. The law is there, but it might as well not be. Effectively, despite what is written on the books, there is no real law. Which gets to my next point.

B. People Are not Robotic Utility or Efficiency Maximizers

Art Buchwald once wrote that an economist is "a man who knows 1,000 ways to make love but doesn't know any women." The human side of things sometimes escapes economists. Their disciplinary training results in many economists evaluating the benefits and costs of various things in purely monetary, or at least quantitative, terms. This can be a good thing: quantifiable claims can be verified, whereas many claims that lawyers make cannot be. But not everything that people care about in life can be quantified. We see this, for example, with family behavior in capital criminal cases. The damage – murder of a loved one, let's say – has been done. That loss is history. But families feel, and testify, passionately, as to whether they want the defendant executed. Or not executed. And their testimony seems to affect the ultimate meting out of punishment. If it didn't, why would they testify, and why would courts take the time to listen?

Their testimony reflects values – such as religion – that lie outside the realm of standard economic analysis. Economists have studied the impact of capital punishment in deterring crime. But what it means to families to have capital punishment imposed, or withheld, has gone unappreciated. And so the economists' take on whether society should or should not have capital punishment is very incomplete.

Likewise, economists like to prescribe various rules – legal or regulatory rules – based on how different rules influence the overall amount of social wealth. Many times, the value-increasing rule – protection of private property, for example – largely accords with what citizens would vote for. But not always, as is shown in various legal contexts, where rules voted on and urged upon courts depend more on "equitable" sharing of the wealth. It is generally accepted that juries are influenced by the relative wealth positions of the plaintiff and the defendant. While the law could undertake various measures to keep such information from a jury, it often does not. It accords a role toward sharing of the wealth that is largely absent from economists' reckoning of what is best for society. So these are some areas in which economists can learn about how to deal with legal issues.

So what can lawyers do to increase the quality of discourse with economists?

2. What Lawyers Can Learn from Economists

A. First: What Lawyers Don't Need to Learn

One of the great advances in my time in legal education has been the growing economic sophistication of the legal profession. My students here at UM are vastly more conversant with economics than was the case during my time at Columbia and here. The entire bar is more economically literate. This is due, in no small measure, to the work of Henry Manne and Henry Butler (UM Class of '82), who have for decades taught courses in economics to judges and practicing lawyers, here at the University of Miami and now at George Mason University. When judges like Stephen Breyer start drawing supply and demand curves in their opinions, it is clear that we lawyers have come a long way, baby. This is a great advance. Economics is not a body of doctrine. It is a tool-kit, a way of thinking about things. A way of approaching problems. And, I submit, a very useful way.

Another thing that lawyers no longer need to learn is the importance of empirical information to resolve legal issues. Be it antitrust, corporate law or tort cases, legal outcomes increasingly depend on the ability to demonstrate in empirical ways what the relevant costs and benefits are. For example, in the recent federal case involving restrictions in Florida on doctors asking patients about use of firearms, the court held against the State of Florida because the state had provided only anecdotal evidence that such restrictions on speech were justified.

Too much of law and legislation depends on undemonstrated beliefs about how the world works. But increasingly, sophisticated empirical evidence is available in various disputes, and lawyers are increasingly sophisticated in understanding it. Not all lawyers, however. My friend and classmate Brian Spector wrote to me that if I went into any of this subject, "please use pictures as much as possible." Sorry, Brian, I have no pictures. Most lawyers today don't need them.

Let me turn to one last point about lawyers and economists. And that is...

B. The Law of Unintended Consequences

Lawyers are sometimes prone to think in two-dimensional terms. As legislators, they will argue for and vote for legislation on the basis that if we alter Factor A, we will get less of Thing B, which we would like to reduce. If we raise the tax on cigarettes, we will get less smoking. Practicing lawyers make arguments of the same sort. A prosecutor will argue for heavy penalties for under-age drinking, on the seemingly obvious basis that heavier penalties will reduce drinking. But is this really true, overall? Not necessarily, because in focusing on Factor A's influence on Behavior B, we forget that the world is a many-splendored place. Factor A not only influences Behavior B, but also Behaviors C, D and E.

Instituting a welfare system for indigent families will indeed reduce indigence, as the law defines it, at least for a while. But it will also – and has – increased the extent that one parent leaves the family to make the family eligible for welfare. The result is often more money but increased amounts of other problems in families. And possibly lower incomes for the next generation of children raised with one parent absent.

Many other examples could be cited. Increasing unemployment payments creates more money for the unemployed. But it also increases the incentive not to work and so increases the number of unemployed. Similar problems abound. The test for receipt of federal food stamps is based on one's income – low income makes one eligible for food stamps. Makes sense, right? Well, it might until one discovers that millionaires, without annual incomes but living off their assets, are now in droves receiving food stamps. This on top of the generally acknowledged fact that food-stamp recipients sell them at a discount to retailers for cash – not food – well below 100 cents on the dollar, allowing the retailers to cash them in for those 100 cents on the food-stamp dollar. Food-stamp recipients also sell their cards on Craigslist.

This is the so-called "law of unintended consequences." Some use this term as the equivalent of "Murphy's Law" – if something can go wrong, it will. But to economists, it has a narrower meaning, perhaps better – it is the "domino effect." In the social order, many things depend on many other things. And if one thing changes – if one domino is toppled – many other dominoes start to fall.

One more example may help to make the point. There are legal restrictions on where convicted sex offenders can live. Residency within certain distances of schools, day-care facilities and even school bus-stops are prohibited. Makes sense, right? Keep convicted sex offenders away from children and the defenseless. But where are these persons – who have served their time – supposed to live? Most residences are off limits. And so, as we know, for a time many of them lived under a causeway. Or have infiltrated trailer parks, that, as The Miami Herald reports, are inhabited by very poor immigrant families "teeming with children," but are far from the nice neighborhoods where schools are located. The very people supposedly protected by the law are thus victimized by it.

To claim therefore, in the state house or the courtroom, that the effects of changing a legal rule will be limited to the two variables under consideration – one as the cause, the other as the effect – is untenable. Demonstrably so. Changes have many effects, only some of which can we imperfect humans foresee.

A final thing to consider:

C. Intentions Are Not Results... And May Not Even Be Truthful

I have always been dismayed how glib lawyers are – and here I very much include academic lawyers – in discussing laws in terms of why they were passed, and what they were going to achieve. To preach to a judge, jury or the press about what a law was intended to do is to claim knowledge that we as lawyers do not have, ordinarily. We do not know why laws are passed, what they are supposed to accomplish. The reasons are clear.

Law is produced out of a political process. What a legislator claims to be doing and what she is really trying to accomplish are not necessarily the same thing. Certainly they are not always the same thing. The old adage applies – words are cheap. In the political process, there are deals cut, there is log-rolling among legislators. What legislators vote for and what they really care about are not necessarily the same things.

Passing legislation requires majority assent. But members of legislatures typically have different reasons for voting as they do. To say that they voted in favor of Proposition X is to state the obvious. To claim that they did so for a particular reason is humbug. We on the outside cannot know, at least frequently, what motivated legislators' votes. What we can know with reasonable certainty is that, being elected officials with very different constituencies with very different interests of their own, the majority was not voting for a single, identifiable ideal.

This is a point that economists of the so-called public choice school have emphasized for some time. Politicians are like you and me. What motivates most – I didn't say all – of what they do is what is good for them, in terms of votes, campaign contributions and so forth.

Which leads to a dire conclusion: What laws were really intended for is, in most instances, unknowable. But the law operates as if we can know it. It is standard in constitutional law cases, for example, to read court opinions based on why a particular statute was passed. Honestly, we don't know most of the time.

Well, I have used my allotted time.

If I may, though, I would like to close on a personal note. I have been forever grateful that I came to UM. Much more than Columbia was able to do, the University of Miami made me "think like a lawyer," although one imbued with a bit of economics in addition. But just as important, UM Law was a fun academic experience, in the good sense of the word fun. I learned so much from my teachers. They were young – then – and so aspirants for academic glory. I took antitrust from a young whippersnapper who was younger than me, one Timothy Muris. They were excited, engaged, and so great guides.

And I learned so much from my classmates, all of whom were also excited about learning law. With economics, I had a different background from theirs academically. But they also had done different things, about which I could learn. And there is no better substitute for learning than being with others having an excitement to learn.

I have found the same phenomenon endures at UM as I have come back to teach. When I hold my office hours out on the bricks, the students are engaged, inquisitive and, frankly, fun to spend time chatting with. Just as I found it fun to chat with my fellow UM students those many years ago – not on the bricks, but on the slab, in the shadow of the Dairy Queen.

I am pleased that now, thanks to the de la Cruz/Mentschikoff Chair in Law and Economics, that experience can continue.

So here I am, the lucky beneficiary of the benevolence of one UM alumnus, in a chair co-named for a UM dean, and a proud member of the UM Class of '78. My UM pedigree is pure, and I am proud of it.

Thank you.

LawBiz® TIPS – Week of September 27, 2016

Law School Education: An Eye toward Good Business

Law schools, take note: Innovation beyond the traditional is essential to attract and create a new legion of lawyers, ones who will find success in the business of law.

In a June 23, 2016, ABA Journal article entitled “Why Law Schools Need to Teach More Than the Law to Thrive (or Survive),” Chad Asarch and Phil Weiser discuss the fact that law schools need to be innovative and reinvent themselves. The days of merely teaching the details of law and testing students on that knowledge is, according to the authors, an outdated system.

The authors, both affiliated with the University of Colorado Law School, developed courses there that focus on skills beyond learn-and-spit-back testing. The courses focus on “experiences with real-world situations” and working in teams to learn from each other. The idea was to collaborate to help each other make the most of himself or herself. It involved working together and peer evaluations.

The article highlights an important point that is often overlooked in the discussion of the education of future lawyers: law is, at its core, a business, and students need to be prepared to enter this world of business in terms of legal skills as well as personal characteristics that will help one succeed in business.

Collaboration and peer evaluation are important aspects of the world of business. In the business of law, a person will need to interact with others—clients as well as colleagues—and learning how to work with others toward a common end, how to negotiate effectively, and how to be the type of person that others want to work with are critical skills.

In addition to personal characteristics that are important in business, it is important for law schools to teach business skills. As I have noted before, it is not enough for law schools to teach the specifics of the law. In order for a lawyer to succeed in practice, he or she must know about such things as business plans, insurance, pricing legal services, collections, creating cash flow forms, etc.

Labor Regulations Throughout The World: An Overview

Labor Regulations Throughout The World: An Overview Author: The World Bank Group(arvo Kuddo)

Date Published: 4:49:20 PM Thursday, 23-January-2020

The recent World Development Report on Jobs 2 notes that government’s role should be to set conditions for private sector job creation, and remove obstacles to creating jobs with the highest development payoffs. Policies should also address imperfections in the labor market such as inadequate or asymmetric information, uneven bargaining power, limited ability to enforce longterm commitments, and insufficient insurance against employment-related risks. Labor policies and institutions — including regulations, collective representation, active labor market programs, and unemployment insurance — can, in principle, be used to address these imperfections. Flexible labor legislation is essential for promoting creation of new businesses, growth of established firms, and job creation. A task of labor law and other labor market institutions is to balance the need to protect workers’ rights with the need to increase labor market flexibility, and establish a more conducive environment for creation of productive employment opportunities and enhancement of social dialogue.
