West Coast move for UMG boss Grainge
whatsapp KCS-content Share LUCIAN Grainge, the newly-ensconced chief executive of Universal Music Group who went out to the US a couple of months ago to take up his new post, has based himself in California.He had originally planned to be based – with his wife and children – in New York before changing plans.Grainge’s move marks a significant shift in the group’s power base, with the chief executive’s office now based at the heart of the wider US entertainment business, encompassing TV and film as well as music.Sources close to Grainge said he would initially move to the Santa Monica office on his own, though they added that “over the course of time it is quite possible that others will join him”. He is currently co-chief executive of Universal, along with chairman Doug Morris, but will assume sole responsibility for the group from 1 January 2011.The move comes after Grainge wielded his influence recently to strike a deal between Universal and entertainment mogul Simon Fuller, under which the group’s Interscope Geffen A&M division will market and distribute albums from the finalists of Fuller’s American Idol show.Grainge joins Universal’s president and chief operating officer Zach Horowitz in California. Morris and chief financial officer Nick Henny are still based in New York.The group’s labels will also remain in their current locations, with Interscope in Los Angeles and Island Def Jam and Universal Motown in New York.Grainge left the UK earlier in the summer after leaving his position as head of Universal’s international division. He was given a star-studded send-off at a party at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Knightsbridge, where artists including The Killers, Duffy and Amy Winehouse joined the likes of Lord Mandelson, Lloyds chairman Lord Levene, WPP boss Sir Martin Sorrell and Topshop billionaire Sir Philip Green to pay their respects. whatsapp by Taboolaby TaboolaSponsored LinksSponsored LinksPromoted LinksPromoted LinksYou May LikeTotal PastThe Ingenious Reason There Are No Mosquitoes At Disney WorldTotal PastNoteabley25 Funny Notes Written By StrangersNoteableyMoneyPailShe Was A Star, Now She Works In ScottsdaleMoneyPailSerendipity TimesInside Coco Chanel’s Eerily Abandoned Mansion Frozen In TimeSerendipity TimesBetterBe20 Stunning Female AthletesBetterBemoneycougar.comThis Proves The Osmonds Weren’t So Innocentmoneycougar.comautooverload.comDeclassified Vietnam War Photos The Public Wasn’t Meant To Seeautooverload.comZen HeraldThe Truth About Why ’40s Actor John Wayne Didn’t Serve In WWII Has Come To LightZen HeraldCrowdy FanShe Didn’t Know Why Everyone Was Staring At Her Hilarious T-ShirtCrowdy Fan Show Comments ▼

That’s not going to happen. The risk is rather one of attrition, of seepage, that individuals will move and functions will get offshored.” Thursday 16 September 2010 8:57 pm Show Comments ▼

Gold could hit $1,500 by year end
Tuesday 21 September 2010 7:59 pm Show Comments ▼ Gold could hit $1,500 by year end “With the break of the previous all-time high at $1,265 last week the next target looks set to be the $1,300 level, and given the fact that demand is set to remain pretty robust a move towards $1,500 by the end of the year is by no means out of the question,” said Michael Hewson, of CMC Markets.“Much will depend on how the market perceives the actions of the Federal Reserve… but any indications that further stimulus is on the cards will continue to buoy the gold price.”With investors worried about currency devaluations in the face of a double dip, gold has been popular. But after hitting record highs for three days, the price dipped yesterday as a report showing signs of stability in the US housing market prompted bullion investors to take profits.Traders said the gold market was nervous about the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting. Broker Tom Pawlicki, of MF Global, said gold could fall if the Fed “stayed away from commenting on new measures to spur the economy”.

Hotshots: Northampton centre Tom Stephenson
Do you come from a sporty family?Mum played netball for England and my grandad played rugby for Cambridge University. I played a lot of different sports and chose rugby over cricket when I was 13.When did you first link up with the Saints?I was at Wasps Academy and Dusty Hare saw me play for South West U16 and asked my mum if I would like to join Saints Academy. I had been a season-ticket holder there since I was five so I was really pleased.When did you first play for England?I played for England U16 in Rome then had two years with England U18, then the U20s last season and this.What were your aims for this season? I was hoping to get some first-team rugby for Northampton but I didn’t expect to get so much. When Luther Burrell got called up by England it gave me a chance.Is it a big step up?It’s a massive step up – there’s a lot less thinking time. Having good players around me helps.What are England’s chances at the Junior World Championship?We showed in the Six Nations we could play some really good rugby, but there’s a lot more pressure on us this year.

Future in Focus at Limerick Festival of Science
Twitter MARY Immaculate College (MIC) will present a jam-packed schedule of events for Limerick Festival of Science, which takes place from 7-18 Novemberas part of Science Week 2020. Organised by the Department of STEM Education at MIC Limerick, University of Limerick and Limerick Institute of Technology, the festival will move online this year and will offer people of all ages the opportunity to engage in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) activities from the comfort of their own homes.With a focus on the future, this year’s Limerick Festival of Science will highlight the ways in which science can improve our lives in the future, and in the present.Sign up for the weekly Limerick Post newsletter Sign Up According to Michelle Fitzpatrick, Science Teaching Fellow and coordinator of Limerick Festival of Science at MIC, “Science is always around us, but its importance in society has never been so evident.“Limerick Festival of Science is a wonderful opportunity for people to engage in meaningful experiences that connect with current challenges we face, such as COVID-19 and the climate crisis, as well as reflecting the overall theme of Science Week of ‘Choosing our Future’. Our events aim to explore the positive things we can do to help ourselves and choose our own future.” she said.Some of the highlights of the festival include a public webinar series, ‘Education, Humanities and the Climate Crisis’, exploring the effects of climate change. Presented by members of the MIC academic community, these webinars aim to provide important insights into the human dimensions of climate change and will offer advice on how we can build a sustainable future for generations to come.‘Let’s Jump into STEM’, a workshop for primary teachers, will examine the links between the PE and STEM curricular areas in primary schools. Presented by lecturers from the Department of STEM Education and the Department of Arts Education and Physical Education, this workshop will have a particular focus on the PE strand of gymnastics.Librarians at Watch House Cross Library in Limerick will bring science stories to your screens in their virtual story-telling sessions, while a photography competition will also run throughout the week-long festival with primary school children invited to submit their snaps showing science at work.In addition to the public events planned, a number of virtual events run by MIC’s Department of STEM Education will also take place in primary schools throughout Limerick and Clare.Anyone4Science will host a number of interactive online workshops exploring the magic of colourless liquids, and children will also have the opportunity to learn about tensile strength as they measure the strength of jelly sweets. Through a series of fun and innovative activities, Scientific Sue will explain how microbial infections can be prevented from spreading, and she’ll be revealing the scientific secrets behind big bubbles.According to Dr Aisling Leavy, Head of the Department of STEM Education at MIC, “While we will miss hosting primary children on campus at MIC Limerick this year, our online events will broaden access and participation of STEM to children and schools that lie beyond our usual geographical boundaries.“The enthusiasm and initiative of those within the Department of STEM Education and the Faculties of Education and Arts at MIC will ensure that children have meaningful experiences of themselves as STEM learners.” she added.Commenting on the move online, Michelle Fitzpatrick said, “I have been struck by the adaptability and enthusiasm of staff to develop events for this year’s online programme. It has allowed for wonderful diversity in our programme of events with contributions from across departments and faculties. The online format has made it more accessible than ever for participants to engage in our public events.”FREE public events taking place for Limerick Festival of Science8-15 November: Education, Humanities and the Climate Crisis Webinar Series – Registration link will be available soon at www.mic.ul.ie/news9 November: Let’s Jump into STEM Workshop – Register here9 & 11 November (11am): Storytime with Watch House Cross Library in Limerick – The stories will be shared on the Library’s Facebook pageFurther information on Science Week and the full schedule of events taking place can be found here.

Henderson: Where bluegrass grows
Troy falls to No. 13 Clemson Sponsored Content Next UpOn Locklar’s 80th birthday, Folsom wrote a poem in honor of the Henderson Bluegrass patriarch that ended with a very sincere, “Lord, thank you for Bluegrass and Rex and all the gang.”“The poem is in a book that I published and will also be made into a song,” Folsom said. “Nobody knows and understands what these festivals mean to so many of us unless they are a part of them. I’ve been coming for 18 years, and there’s no way that I would miss one.”A couple of years ago Folsom had a stroke and was in the hospital at the time for “Rex’s Show.” Plans underway for historic Pike County celebration “I love coming here,” Hutchison said. “You really can’t explain it. You just have to come and see for yourself.”Posey said her friend brought her to Rex’s Bluegrass Festival nearly 23 years ago, and she’s been back every year.“I didn’t know that people still lived like this,” she said. “It’s wonderful that this culture as survived and it’s wonderful to be a part of it.”Someone hollered for “grouchy ol’ Rex” but he didn’t mind.“I am grouchy,” he said. “Anybody would be grouchy if they had to put up will all these aggravating folks.”Those around Locklar laughed because they knew that he is happiest when he’s’ grouchy.“Rex is ornery,” said his longtime friend, Dwight Lincoln, ‘like Abraham.’ “He’s a mean ol’ coot. He goes around abusing people ,but we love him anyway.”Locklar was obviously pleased by the “compliment.” A huge grin pushed his ears up a notch. He cocked his head and drove off on his “cart” to get an earful of the music that he loves best. Locklar waved back over his shoulder and everyone laughed.“This is the most laid back place in the world,” Folsom said. “This is the most wonderful experience a person can enjoy. Rex is the best. The best bluegrass music is played here and the best people in the world congregate here.”Spoken like a true backyard politician.

I was on the way to Rex Locklar’s Bluegrass Festival when I had the stroke,” Folsom said. “I told the doctor that if I was going to die, I wanted to die in Henderson, Alabama, not in a hospital. When I do die, I’m going to have my ashes sprinkled here on this place.”Many of those who attend Locklar’s bi-annual events are just as loyal to Rex Locklar and as dedicated to the festivals that he has been “puttin’ on” for 44 years.The 2010 Spring Henderson Bluegrass Festival actually got in full swing Thursday and will continue until after midnight tonight. But last Sunday afternoon, 23 RVs were already hooked up and ready to enjoy the high lonesome sound of bluegrass in Henderson.Jessie Hutchison has been coming to Henderson for 33 years. When her husband died 11 years ago, her daughter offered to bring her every year and Hutchison also invited her friend, Cindy Posey and her husband to come along.
Remember America’s heroes on Memorial Day Latest Stories He has a surname that is very familiar to folks in Alabama, so it’s his obligation to be political.But, Rex’s Bluegrass Festival is not the place for politics.

Bank pushes to take on more gay employees
Related posts:No related photos. Investment bank JP Morgan is targeting gay graduates as part of its drive to win the war for young talent in the City. It has held what it believes is the first recruitment event specifically for final-year gay and lesbian students. Delegates had the opportunity to discuss workplace issues affecting gay and lesbian employees including their concerns about coming out at work. They could also quiz experts including JP Morgan employees, industry representatives and Angela Mason, executive director of gay rights lobby group Stonewall.Recruitment managers talked about graduate opportunities within all areas of the bank and advised delegates on applications.JP Morgan’s gay employee lobby Gleam – Gay and Lesbian Employees at JP Morgan – helped organise the recruitment event.Alan Barr, a member of Gleam working in the bank’s financial division, said the aim was to advertise the work JP Morgan was doing on diversity and to reach as wide a range of graduate candidates as possible. “The bank is aware that in the past some students may have shied away from the City because of a belief that it wouldn’t be accepting of their personal lives,” Barr said.”The JP Morgan ethos is to hire the best people to do the job and allow them to focus on doing that job rather than worrying about what pronoun they used when talking about the weekend – should they use ‘he’ or ‘she’? JP Morgan believes people have the right to be themselves at work.” Comments are closed. Bank pushes to take on more gay employeesOn 31 Oct 2000 in Personnel Today Previous Article Next Article

This week’s guruEh, eh, calm down, calm down, what’s the joke?As an avid “Brookie” fan (that’s the soap opera Brookside fornon-watchers), Guru cannot understand the findings of a new report by Europeanmanagement school EM Lyon. It claims that while most continental managers have a strong command ofEnglish, many have difficulty understanding English expressions and humour,especially from Liverpudlians. Guru had to tell himself to “caarmdown” several times after reading this. They also accuse the British of being clock-obsessed and using speciallanguage codes when talking business in order to confuse overseas managers. However, suspicion cuts both ways. Les Ros Boeufs believe the French arepushy when it comes to business, and incapable of giving positive feedback.Touché. High-fliers must pay to work The airline industry might be getting a bit of battering at the moment, butthere are still plenty of people desperate to become pilots. Ryanair is receiving so many applications to fly its planes that it hasintroduced a £50 charge to weed out timewasters. It recently received 8,500 applications for 60 jobs. These included 600 frompeople under 16 years of age, who didn’t have provisional driving licenses letalone pilot qualifications. The budget airline operator has written a new chapter in the definitive bookon recruitment – how to select the best staff and make an earner at the sametime. Considering the market, you can’t blame them. Wossy thinks it’s all over HR Jonathan Ross and pensions minister Ian McCartney made an entertainingdouble act at the Personnel Today awards ceremony at the Grovesnor House Hotelin London. The lanky, flop-haired comedian and the diminutive Scotsman swapped jacketsas the minister appeared on stage to announce the overall winner. Enveloped in Ross’ revolting Armani, McCartney told the They Think It’s AllOver star he envied his ability to turn up at an awards bash, rubbish theaudience for an hour and then swan off with a fat pay cheque. Ross, who warned McCartney not to touch anything in his pockets, told theaudience the catering staff had been delighted when they heard they would beworking for the Personnel Today awards – not because the HR profession isrenowned as big tippers but because they knew they were very unlikely to besexually harassed. Wanted: employee to return to workRetaining your best employees hasnever been more important as the economy looks set to face a severe downturn.So Guru was impressed by the innovative approach of a Romanianemployer who is using newspaper adverts to tempt a valuable member of staff toreturn to work.The missing employee went on sick leave five months ago,returned to his job for one week and the disappeared once more.His boss is puzzled by his employee’s no-show but said he stillwanted him back because his skills and professionalism were badly needed.The advert says he’s “kindly asked to return to hisjob”.
Inter-colony differences in the incubation pattern of streaked shearwaters in relation to the local marine environment
Foraging trip duratiom of breeding seabirds is affected by characteristics of available feeding habitat in the marine environment, which may in turn, generate inter-colony difference in the patterns of nest attendance. Here, nest attendance patterns and foraging areas of Streaked Shearwaters (Calonectris leucomelas) during their incubation period were examined using global location sensors. The study was conducted at Sangan (SI) and Mikura Islands (MI) in the northwstern Pacific, and Awa Island (AI) in the Japan Sea during 2006-2009. The duration of incubation shifts showed significant inter-colony difference, but no sex-related difference. Shearwaters from SI had shorter mean incubation shifts (5.6 days on average; range 3.0-8.0 days) than those from MI (7.2 days; range 4.8-10.7 days) adn AI (6.9 days;range 6.0-9.7 days). During the incubation period, Si adn MI shearwaters foraged in the northwestern Pacific’s Kuroshio-Oyashio transition area, while shearwaters from AI mostly foraged in the Japan Sea.
