Idol guy, Fuller wants the ‘full’ share

IIPM Infrastructure : Campus

Simon Fuller, the creator of Idol series (one of the most popular shows ever) has recently launched a $1.3 billion bid to take private his employer CKX in concurrence with his boss, the US magnate Robert Sillerman. Fuller wants further control in a company where the division he runs contributes a major share of the overall profits but to his dismay, the rewards amounted to £846,000 pay in 2006 and a mere 1.6% stake. The timing of this move by Fuller is a surprise; because CKX had been expected to focus on finding out more celebrity rights to exploit, but the need of the hour is to find a more suitable structure for Fuller – which is supposedly a priority at the moment.

Death without a cause

The world’s greatest rivers are dying. The very rivers that withstood innumerable centuries and civilisations. As integral as elements most basic to human existence, these rivers are fundamental to balancing the aquatic ecosystems of the planet lest we choose to relinquish our very own lives. Though the globe that appears mostly blue, leaving aside salty oceans, it is these fresh water ecosystems that clean and store water vital to human and wildlife existence alike. With a huge spurt in human population at the turn of the last millennium, there have been excessive pressures on natural fresh water ecosystems leaving more than a billion without access to clean and safe drinking water. Perhaps a prequel to the water wars of the future.

But the ones that suffer most from man’s erratic misadventures are local wildlife species, both above and underwater, that find it difficult to survive either altered river flows or artificial blockages in form of dams and canals. Like the Colorado River in the United States that suffers an absolute change in its flow pattern, thanks to the many dams constructed on it affecting local temperatures and endangering many fish varieties that had evolved in the swift -flowing, silt-laden water.

The Ganga, considered the holiest by Indians, a river on whose loamy banks lives one in every twelve of the human species, figures amongst the top ten dying rivers due to mindless water extraction and pollution. However it is China’s Yangtze River and its tributaries that face a major threat with over 600 kilometres of the river in critical conditions. “The river's annual harvest of aquatic products dropped from 427,000 tonnes in 1950s to about 100,000 tonnes in 1990s,” reports China Daily, China’s leading English newspaper.

The Parliament at Westminster, to which Scots continue to elect MPs, still controls defence & foreign affairs, macroeconomic policy, taxation, and social security. The Scottish parliament, however, is able to legislate over health services, education, local government, housing, criminal & civil justice and economic development. It can also raise or lower the basic rate of income tax – though by no more than 3% – and levy charges, such as road tolls.

This semi-independence partly reflects the absence of linguistic motives in Scottish nationalism. Gaelic is spoken by only about 80,000 of Scotland’s 5.1 million inhabitants. Nor does religion play a discernible role; while Roman Catholics used to fear independence as being liable to result in Protestant hegemony, today Catholics and Protestants are roughly equal in their support of Scotland’s institutions. Moreover, unlike East European or Balkan nationalism, the Scottish variety has little to do with ethnicity or religion.
