The Los Angeles Jewish Home LOS ANGELES JEWISH HOME ANNUAL REPORT 2012–2013 FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS 135797_Report_r3.indd 1 1/23/14 3:17 PM For more than 100 years, the Los Angeles Jewish Home has been at the forefront of senior care, delivering vital services that sustain health, promote wellness, and celebrate the joy of community. It is both a privilege and a responsibility to carry on this remarkable legacy. We do it with the passion, nurturing, and commitment of an extraordinary group of supporters – volunteers, friends, advocates, and family inspired by a shared heritage and a common vision: keeping our seniors active, independent, and strong. Working together, we enhance the quality of their lives and honor their achievements. True to Jewish Home tradition, today we continue to lead the way, offering a comprehensive healthcare system – unrivaled in its ambition, scope, and capability – that meets seniors’ needs, wherever they may occur. This is the Home we have built: a place for help and hope, and a critical resource for seniors across Los Angeles and beyond. 2 135797_Report_r3.indd 2 1/23/14 3:17 PM TABLE OF CONTENTS LETTER FROM THE CHAIR .....................................................4 LETTER FROM THE CEO-PRESIDENT .......................................5 WHERE COMMUNITY MEETS CARE ......................................7 A NEW HOME ON THE WESTSIDE ......................................9 A SINGULAR VISION .........................................................11 BIG THINKING.

We serve today’s seniors in need and simultaneously build our capacity to meet future demand. By bridging multiple perspectives, an annual report is perfectly suited to addressing these dual priorities: taking a look back at yesterday’s progress and putting it in the context of tomorrow’s growth. This report comes at an auspicious time on both fronts. Keeping the Vision Expand, Extend, Sustain – our $215 million campaign to build facilities and expand and support programs – has met with great success, already generating more than $118 million in funding commitments. Over the past year, fueled in part by the robust generosity of families across our community, we continued to make progress on the development of the Gonda Healthy Aging Westside Campus in Playa Vista, and our goal of serving 5,000 seniors by 2015 is within reach. We also established a firm footing for the Brandman Centers for Senior Care, the Home’s first Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), on the Grancell Village Campus, and we launched a wide range of other comprehensive senior healthcare services, all while maintaining a high level of quality care. Looking ahead, the Jewish Home is poised for even greater accomplishment. Whether it is supporting the construction of new buildings and the remodeling of current facilities at our Grancell and Eisenberg Villages; developing the Hirsch Family Campus in the San Fernando Valley; expanding our renowned Annenberg School of Nursing; supporting the Home’s operations; or contributing significant capital to our endowment, the coming year is sure to be an exciting and fulfilling one. I look forward to sharing it with you, and I thank you for the extraordinary partnership that makes it possible. Jeffrey Glassman Chair, Board of Directors 4 135797_Report_r3.indd 4 1/23/14 3:17 PM A LETTER FROM THE CEO-PRESIDENT At the conclusion of another meaningful year in our development, it strikes me that the Jewish Home is like a fine wine: strong, bold, and better with age. In 2013, our programs and services – already national models for quality senior care – continued to set new standards for innovation and excellence. I am particularly proud of the newly launched Connections to Care. With a single phone call, seniors and their family members or health advisors can now access the Jewish Home’s wide array of in-your-home, community-based, and in-residence programs and services. These include independent living, adult day healthcare, community clinic, home health and personal care services, short- and long-term care, hospice care, palliative care, acute psychiatric care, and personalized bridge programs. Today, the Jewish Home is both a leading provider of senior healthcare services for the community and a premier residential care facility. Connections to Care enables all seniors in need to benefit from the Home’s life- sustaining warmth and expertise. It is the unflagging commitment of supporters, volunteers, staff, and countless others that paves the way for the Jewish Home’s track record of achievement. Your energy, passion, and generous contributions of time and resources have allowed us to sustain our services, to expand our capacity, and to establish groundbreaking initiatives, from Care Transitions and the Brandman Centers for Senior Care to the ongoing development of our remarkable new Gonda Healthy Aging Westside Campus in Playa Vista. Of course, there is still much work to be done. Meeting the full breadth of seniors’ needs, throughout our community, will require even greater dedication, more collaboration, and a shared vision of where we want to go. The coming year is sure to bring fresh challenges and new opportunities. Working together, we will continue to do exceptional things.

He met Madonna’s manager, Freddy DeMann, through his daughters, who went to BHHS as well, and played him some of those demos. W Nothing came of it, 160 161 but the two stayed in touch. The summer after graduation, Jerusalem-born Oseary went on some of the first Lollapalooza tour dates; Ice-T was on that tour, and Guy was managing his DJ, Evil E. He also went to Reggae Sunsplash in Jamaica and New Music Seminar in New York, looking to find his musical path before starting college. When he came back to L.A., Oseary entered Cal State Northridge.

  • You and Me Got a Whole Lot of History
    You and Me Got a Whole Lot of History: An historical analysis of music distribution and formats, and the socio-cultural trends that have shaped them. Brianna Jamieson A dissertation submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Master of Business Degree (MBus) 2016 Primary Supervisor: Dr. Katharine Jones Secondary Supervisor: Dr. Roger Marshall Abstract The music industry has been in a state of flux for the past 20 years. Disrupted by the digital revolution, and the significant consumer uptake in the piracy of music product, revenues have fallen substantially over a relatively short period of time. This case study analyzes the historical timeline of music product formats and distribution methods whilst contextualizing them through the socio-cultural trends that have shaped the shifts in music format and distribution methods, through a business lens. From the distribution of physical music product, through all the transitional periods surrounding the digital revolution, and the new model of non-acquisition consumption through streaming, the consumer behaviour trends that have impacted on music distribution and format are analyzed as important influencing factors. The case study uncovers an industry resistant to change, and an industry that behaves in a wholly reactive way to consumer behaviour trends. This research also discusses the potential future around the sale of recorded music, as socio-cultural trends continue to shape the development of music as a cultural commodity. A distribution strategy for maximizing revenue for each distribution method and format is proposed, by strategically releasing new recorded music products (albums) physically, digitally and through streaming service in a specific timeline in order to avoid the cannibalization of each format.

    n. i THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 21 February 2003 Dear Bono, Your voice has not only brought enjoyment to millions of people; it has spoken up on behalf of those people who need it most, and it has been heard by those who most need to hear it. It has drawn attention in the world's richest countries to debt, poverty and AIDS in the world's poorest countries. It has thereby helped increase the chances for millions of people to build better lives. That is why I consider myself fortunate to count you as an ally and a friend. And that is why I am delighted to extend my warmest congratulations to you on being named the Musi Cares Person of the Year for 2003. This recognition is more than richly deserved.

    CONTACT: John Vlautin Live Nation 310-867-7127 [email protected] MADONNA JOINS FORCES WITH LIVE NATION IN REVOLUTIONARY GLOBAL MUSIC PARTNERSHIP LOS ANGELES, CA – October 16, 2007 Live Nation's President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Rapino officially confirmed today that Madonna has entered into an unprecedented global partnership with Live Nation and will become the founding artist in its Artist Nation division. “The paradigm in the music business has shifted and as an artist and a business woman, I have to move with that shift,” commented Madonna. “For the first time in my career, the way that my music can reach my fans is unlimited. I've never wanted to think in a limited way and with this new partnership, the possibilities are endless. Who knows how my albums will be distributed in the future? That's what's exciting about this deal - everything is possible. Live Nation has offered me a true partnership and after 25 years in the business, I feel that I deserve that.” “Madonna is a true icon and maverick as an artist and in business,” stated Mr. Rapino. “Our partnership is a defining moment in music history.
