Diana Ross, Hydro, Glasgow ★★★★ It's a big week for pop concerts in Glasgow but Diana Ross pips the lot for legendary status. As is the diva prerogative, she made her expectant audience wait for her appearance – but only a little, as she was also the consummate professional, poised to deliver a bumper set of songs from right across her remarkably varied catalogue of soul, pop, disco and jazz standards. Diana Ross | Getty Images Her own ample band was supplemented by a swooning RSNO who followed a potted profile film with an easy listening overture. Keyboards teased her arrival to I'm Coming Out, uttered as words of reassurance. Ms Ross was onstage for the next two hours, save for a couple of speedy costume changes, paying tribute to all corners of her career, from deep cuts such as More Today Than Yesterday to crowd favourite Chain Reaction. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A run of Supremes classics from Baby Love to Stop! In the Name of Love was followed by the Seventies easy listening rapture of Touch Me In the Morning, a soft focus perfume ad of a song, and the yearning I'm Still Waiting. Despite her professed struggles with her in-ear monitors, her sweet tone shone through. Belting ballad Home proved more challenging and Do You Know Where You're Going To was downright wobbly but, elsewhere, Ross was imperious on the super sultry Love Hangover. The smooth classic jazz of Billie Holiday cover Don't Explain exposed her voice like no other song in the set, revealing only that she sounded far younger than her 81 years.

Chain Reaction: Michael Goldman of Caru Containers on Why ‘Sourcing Diversity is Paramount'
Chain Reaction is Sourcing Journal's discussion series with industry executives to get their take on today's logistics challenges and learn about ways their company is working to keep the flow of goods moving. Here, Michael Goldman, general manager of North America at Caru Containers, discusses how the global transportation company supports its partners in building more resilient and diversified supply chains amid ongoing disruptions and what the U.S. can learn from China. Name: Michael Goldman More from Sourcing Journal $10B Trump-Approved 'Green Corridors' Project to Drive Efficiency in US-Mexico Trade Forward Air Chairman Ousted, Potential Sale Appears in View Byte-Sized AI: Perfect Corp. and Nvidia Team Up; LuminX Gets Seed Round Title: General manager, North America Company: Caru Containers What is Caru Containers? Caru Containers is a global company with Dutch roots. Operating from 10 offices and active in over 70 countries, we trade new and used shipping containers worldwide. We lease containers to major shipping lines and purchase decommissioned fleets from some of the industry's largest players. These containers are then resold through various distribution channels for reuse in domestic commercial storage What industries do you primarily serve? We serve multiple industries including ocean shipping, international freight forwarding and domestic container storage. What is the main thing brands and retailers could do right now that would immediately improve logistics? Sourcing diversity is paramount. Business thrives on stability and predictability, but those qualities are often absent in today's post Covid-19 logistics landscape. Since the steady rise of globalization, we've entered an era shaped by disruption. Whether caused by extreme weather, labor strikes, war or self-inflicted geopolitical tensions, disruption comes in many forms. Even a summer intern will hear the phrase 'Let's not put all our eggs in one basket' within their first week. A cliché, yes, but never more relevant to strengthening international logistics resilience than it is today. When it comes to supply chain logistics challenges, there are things companies can fix, and things that are beyond their control. How can the former help the latter? First and foremost, companies need a diverse supplier portfolio. Relying on a single vendor for a specific product or service all but guarantees vulnerability to unexpected market disruptions beyond a business's control. The globally connected companies best positioned to navigate the next decade will be those with agile supply chains capable of quickly pivoting in response to disruption. What area of logistics isn't receiving the industry attention it deserves? Limited access to rail transport for small and midsized U.S. businesses—due to high pricing and volume thresholds—harms both the domestic economy and overall quality of life. Our freight rail system is largely designed to serve massive corporations, leaving smaller players reliant on trucking. The result? More congestion on our roads, higher emissions and worsening urban gridlock. Meanwhile, China's Belt and Road initiative enables goods to move by rail across two continents—from China to Europe—at costs lower than many long-haul domestic trucking routes in the U.S. As global businesses take advantage of this infrastructure, American companies should be asking both public and private sectors why similar supply chain capabilities aren't available here. What is your company doing to make the movement of goods more sustainable? As a sustainability-minded company, we understand the lack of efficiency in shipping an empty container. We have recently invested significantly in scaling our One-Way Lease capabilities, which focus on matching our empty containers to cargo destined for the same location. Combining what would have been two containers traveling the same route into one container reduces our carbon footprint. Are you optimistic about the state of supply chains in the next few years? Despite ongoing global political shifts and the resulting supply chain disruptions, I'm impressed by how swiftly businesses pivot and adapt with smarter solutions. For years, the shipping and logistics industries lagged behind in adopting digital tools, even as commercial internet use surged over the past three decades. But that's changed. Today, we see global positioning system (GPS) trackers on containers, reefer data delivered straight to beneficial cargo owners' (BCO) phones, blockchain adoption by major carriers and major strides in reducing emissions to meet International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards. Though slow to start, the industry is catching up fast. And because of that, I'm more optimistic than ever about the future of global supply chains.

Ashlee Simpson reveals what Diana Ross is really like as a grandmother
Ashlee Simpson says Diana Ross is "so hands on" as a grandmother. The 40-year-old singer and reality star married the iconic musician's son Evan in 2014, and she has opened up about how the Chain Reaction hitmaker acts around her grandchildren. Asked how she is as a grandmother, Ashlee told E! News: "The best one! So hands on, and you wouldn't think of it like that. She's just about family." The loved up couple have kids Jagger Snow, eight, and Ziggy Blu, three, together, while the singer has son Bronx Mowgli, 15, from her previous marriage to Pete Wentz. Ashlee recently announced plans for a Las Vegas show, and she admitted she could be raiding Diana's closet for outfits. She quipped: "I would love to steal anything. Any time she's given me anything I'm like, 'Oh my God, this is the most beautiful piece!' "Her archive is beyond insane, so anything she's willing to give me I'll put on for good luck'... "We've seen in her Vegas so many times, she's always inspired me. She's a mom, she keeps it altogether, she's a grandma, she's Diana Ross!" Meanwhile, Ashlee also opened up on what their family is like over the holidays. She added: "They are [lit], the kids have so many cousins. We're all in one home, everyone's playing, the kids are all together. No one ever wants to leave." And while she's happy and in love with her "best friend" Evan after over a decade of marriage, her bond with sister Jessica Simpson is still a key part of her life. She said: "I think those things are just a part of what came with our lives. Together, we're always strong. "We definitely know how to overcome those things, and not harp on them, and not look back, and move forward. "We always have the best time together. Nobody knows you better than your sibling, you don't even have to say anything, you just get it."
