Q: Date format conversion in JavaScript I wondering what is the best way to convert a timestamp of this format -
2012-02-18 14:28:32

to a date presentation of this format -
Saturday Feb 2012 14:28:32

Many thanks :)

A: Javascript date functions are pretty bad... You have the option to convert to UTC http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_toutcstring
But if it was me, i would look into Datejs: http://www.datejs.com/ best javascript date api for me
Please take a look at the getting started with Datejs: http://www.datejs.com/2007/11/27/getting-started-with-datejs/

A: You must first define an array of the English words (Sunday, Monday, Feb, Mar, etc.):
var daysOfWeek = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"],
    monthsOfYear = ["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"];

To be able insert the extra 0 at the beginning of the minutes and seconds, define a padding function for the String prototype:
String.prototype.padLeft = function(padString,length){
    var toReturn = String(this);
    while(toReturn.length < length){
        toReturn = padString + toReturn;
    }
    return toReturn;
}

Format the date and time like this:
var time = new Date(), formattedDate, formattedTime, wholeThing;
formattedDate = daysOfWeek[time.getDay()] + ", " + monthsOfYear[time.getMonth()] + " " + time.getDate() + ", " + time.getFullYear();
formattedTime = time.getHours() + ":" + time.getMinutes().padLeft("0",2) + time.getSeconds().padLeft("0",2);

You can get the whole thing by concatenating formattedDate and formattedTime, as in:
wholeThing = formattedDate + " " + formattedTime;

A: Consider using datejs which is rocks!
var mydate = Date.parse('2012-02-18 14:28:32');
var result = mydate.toString('dddd MMM yyyy h:mm:ss');
console.log(result);

A: I'd suggest using an external js library to do that. To my understanding, Moment.js is the best date-time conversion library out there.
In this case, it does the job in one line. Just add the moment.js in you project and then do
var timestamp = '2012-02-18 14:28:32';
var formattedTime = moment(timestamp).format('dddd MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss'); // Saturday Feb 2012 14:28:32

A: JavaScripts Date object is lacking methods for formatting. I would consider using an external library like this one. Seems it has what you're looking for.

A: try this blog it has enough dateformats:

No one likes to exercise. Even kids hate the idea of getting up and doing something mundane, like jumping jacks or walking. Instead of trying to get your kids to do boring exercises, why not make exercise into a game. Whether it's interactive video games or indoor bowling, your kids can have fun while exercising….

Samsung announced a bunch of laptops for CES 2018, but there was only one stand-out machine for Americans: the Notebook 9 Pen.
This is essentially a laptop and a Galaxy Note hybrid. It's a silver, 13.3-inch laptop with rounded edges. It looks rather meh, to say the least. However, it's a light machine, thanks to its magnesium alloy Metal-12 material. It weighs just 2.2 pounds, which is considerably less than the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro that weighs 3.02 pounds.
The Notebook 9 Pen makes use of the S Pen, naturally, though it isn't the first Samsung laptop to use the stylus. Samsung is marketing the Notebook 9 Pen toward artists, as the S Pen offers them 4,096 pressure levels and a 0.7mm nib, making it ideal for doodling, sketching, and more when they fold the screen back into tablet mode.
But we think it would make a good laptop for students, as they can use it to take notes in either OneNote or Samsung's Notes app. They can also Air Command, which is found on the Galaxy Note, too, to access shortcuts for marking up things. Another cool feature is Voice Note, which uses a far-field microphone to capture lectures and more.
You can even scribble written notes as the laptop records your surroundings, or you can make GIFs, by using the S Pen to capture bits of on-screen video. As for the machine's actual specs, there's an 8th-generation Intel Core i7 chipset, up to 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 512GB SSD, a 13.3-inch 1080p display, and a few ports, including USB-C.
There's one USB-C port, one USB 3.0 port, a microSD slot, and an HDMI-out. Unfortunately, there's no word yet on pricing or availability, though we do know that Samsung no longer sells this laptop line in the UK.

Food production has tripled in the last forty years, but one billion people still go hungry every year. On average 30% of all food produced is wasted in the pathway from 'field to fork'. With the global human population set to rise from seven to over nine billion by 2050, we urgently need sustainable solutions that will allow us to increase the global food supply while preserving the integrity of agricultural and non-agricultural ecosystems.
Our trees and forests face new plant health threats which in turn threaten areas of great natural beauty and diversity, and affect both rural and urban landscapes. Our unique MSc Sustainable Plant Health will give you the opportunity to develop your understanding of the vital role of plant health, applying your skills by conducting laboratory and field studies.
This programme is primarily aimed at graduates wishing to pursue a career in plant protection in agriculture, horticulture, forestry or urban settings, and also careers in policy development and implementation, plant health inspection, academic and industrial research, consultancy and conservation management, and private industry.


Working with entrepreneurs as part of a business incubation program in one of South Africa's poorest provinces has lead me to believe that AI might have magical properties. Entrepreneurs are dreamers, and AI is all about dreaming and making those dreams come alive. The combination of the Anticipatory principle, the Heliotropic principle and the use of appreciative language can lead to extraordinary results. Had I not witnessed these experiences first hand, I might not have believed it.
The poor survival rate of entrepreneurs is well documented and the evidence of broken dreams is often reflected in high unemployment figures. Trying to start a business with little or no funding in a poor province takes a lot of guts and determination, and most business owners will tell you that there are many times they have felt like giving up.
Understanding what 'gives life' to a system can mean the difference between success and disaster.
AI gave hope to entrepreneurs as they focused on their positive core. Getting to know themselves as entrepreneurs empowered them to see new possibilities and take positive action. Understanding what "gives life" to a system can mean the difference between success and disaster. When entrepreneurs are aware of what gives them life, and when they are at their best, they can harness that knowledge and create magic. When they are able to review their best experiences of dealing with clients, they become inspired to make more effective and strategic sales calls.
Knowing when they feel most energised and alive allows entrepreneurs to focus on their areas of brilliance and delegate the rest. Rapid business expansion then becomes possible, and to those on the outside it almost appears magical. The key is to spend enough time and go really deep with the dream – when the dream is clear and articulated, willpower becomes irrelevant and motivation is available in an instant.
The Anticipatory principle has two major elements: imagination and the creation of a picture of the future. I witnessed the amazing strength and power of possibility when one of the entrepreneurs I was coaching was determined to pitch her business for funding, despite having started chemotherapy two days prior to the pitch. She made a conscious decision to focus on life-giving activities for herself as well as her business, as she had a very clear picture of the future.
Teaching entrepreneurs about the Heliotropic principle (what we focus on grows) enabled them to focus on creating and approaching their ideal clients, instead of focusing on "not having money/sales". Adopting appreciative language with entrepreneurs seemed, at times, to have almost magical results. With one entrepreneur in particular we reframed "I need to get more clients" to "In what ways could I attract more of my ideal clients?" Instead of making 100 sales calls per week, focusing on short term "jobs", this entrepreneur could apply his efforts more strategically and focus his attention on attracting long-term, ideal clients, which saw him grow his business exponentially within a very short space of time. AI could be key to empowering more entrepreneurs in Africa.


EnviroLink Forum • View topic - Seal their fate.
Post subject: Seal their fate.
Due to the troubles that killer whales, polar bears and large sharks have been having, seal populations are growing rapidly. Last year, only 8% of the quota for seals was harvested and less is expected to be harvested while populations continue to grow. Fisheries Canada is worried about cod stocks not recovering due to the increased predation of seals who no longer have traditional fish species in sufficient numbers for them to eat. This might be OK for a few years but eventually seals are going to start suffering starvation. I am wondering of ways to intervene or if it is morally acceptable to let nature cull the seals with starvation and disease.
Post subject: Re: Seal their fate.
The situation is caused by humans, because they directly or indirectly killed the predators.
So humans should intervene to avoid the seals will die of starvation after have consumed all the fishes.
The solution is trying to restore the original equilibrium, introducing again in that environment the predators of the seals: whales, polar bears and large sharks.
Sorry, I can't see other solutions.
So laws to protect whales, polar bears and sharks from unlimited hunting and fishing.
I know another way - allow humans to hunt seals too. You probably do not think so but please make a distinction to what is distasteful but not cruel (clubbing).
If you allow to the humans to hunt the seals they will do this without limits and the situation will not be in equilibrium the same.
It's not logic substitute with the humans the natural predators. The ecosystem should not be ruled only by humans.
Umm polar bears in the region ARE protected from unlimited hunting, and have been for quite a few years. There is still the issue even with the protections.
They have been hunting seals with limits for quite some time, but some of the AR groups have been actively trying to distrupt them none the less.
Yet, that seems to be the only viable alternative.

Q: How to halt rendering of dynamic search results in React? I am working on creating a dynamic search results workflow. I can make the results render with no issue, but can't figure out how best to toggle them off when I delete all the input from the search bar. If you start typing, addresses appear that match, but then as you delete all the way they don't all go away.
My thoughts were to use one of the two parameters in my state variables: showMatches or matches.length. I am struggling to see the final piece to this puzzle. Below is my current code:
App.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Form, Button, ListGroup } from 'react-bootstrap';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import Match from './Match';
//import Render from './Render';

const my_data = require('./data/test.json')

class App extends Component {

  state = {
    links: [],
    selectedLink:null,
    userLocation: {},
    searchInput: "",
    showMatches: false,
    matches: [],
    searchLink:[]
}

componentDidMount() {
    fetch('https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/s4kf-3yrf.json')
        .then(res=> res.json())
        .then(res=>
            //console.log(json)
            this.setState({links:res})
        );
}

handleInputChange = (event) => {
    console.log(event.target.value)
    event.preventDefault()
    this.setState({searchInput: event.target.value })
    this.updateMatches()
    console.log(this.state.showMatches)
    console.log(this.state.matches.length)
  }

handleSubmit = (event) => {
    event.preventDefault()
    this.displayMatches();
}

findMatches = (wordToMatch, my_obj) => {
    return my_obj.filter(place => {
        // here we need to figure out the matches
        const regex = new RegExp(wordToMatch, 'gi');
        //console.log(place.street_address.match(regex))
        return place.street_address.match(regex)
    });
}

updateMatches =() => {
    const matchArray = this.findMatches(this.state.searchInput, this.state.links);
    const newStateMatches = matchArray.map(place => {
      //console.log(place.street_address);
      return place
    });
    this.setState({matches:newStateMatches})
    this.state.matches.length > 1 ? this.setState({showMatches: true}) : this.setState({showMatches: false})
  }

alertClicked = address => {
    //event.preventDefault(); // not sure what event you're preventing
    this.setState({searchLink: address});
    this.pushData();
}

render() {
    return (

            <input
                placeholder="Search for a Link Near you..."
                onChange = {this.handleInputChange}
                value = {this.state.searchInput}
            />
            <ListGroup defaultActiveKey="#link1">
              {
                this.state.matches.map(match => {
                  return <Match
                            address={match.street_address}
                            alertClicked={this.alertClicked}
                            value = {this.state.searchLink}
                            logState={this.logState}/>
                })
              }
            </ListGroup>

    );
}
}

export default App;

Match.js
import React from 'react';
import { ListGroup } from 'react-bootstrap';

const match = ({ alertClicked, address }) => {

return (
    <ListGroup.Item
        className="Matches"
        action
        // function expressions could cause this to rerender unnecessarily.
        onClick={(address) => alertClicked(address)}>

{`${address}`}

    </ListGroup.Item>
)
}

export default match;

Appreciate the help.

A: The simplest way I think you could implement this is in your handleInputChange, like so :
handleInputChange = (event) => {
  event.preventDefault()
  if (event.target.value.length === 0) {
   this.setState({searchInput: "", showMatches: false, matches: [] })
   return
  }
  this.setState({searchInput: event.target.value })
  this.updateMatches()
}

But what do you mean by "but then as you delete all the way they don't all go away" ? Sounds like there actually might be a bug in you updateMatches.
EDIT: Chris' comment is spot on regarding updateMatches.

Oliver began singing when he was 3 or 4. He started with pop tunes - not too surprising since his dad is chief executive officer and president of Digity Companies, which sold its portfolio of 116 radio stations in 2015. Then he branched into Broadway show tunes and opera.
A year ago, he joined the Young Singers of the Palm Beaches. He'll be singing for a much bigger crowd than his family on Sunday when the group performs its 15th anniversary spring concert at the Kravis Center.
The theme of the concert is Why We Sing. The answers to that question are what motivated Oliver and more than 325 singers in second through 12th grades to join the organization.
The concert, which will feature live accompaniment, will open with quotes on that topic from the singers and a song titled Why We Sing. Other songs will include Found/Tonight, a mash-up of Hamilton's The Story of Tonight and Dear Evan Hansen's You Will Be Found, and Freedom Trilogy, which blends a third-century chant with 20th century African pieces and Amazing Grace.
Oliver will be spotlighted in Let Our Light Shine, which was written by D. Shawn Berry, the group's artistic director and co-founder.
Graduating senior Sidney O'Gorman, who joined the young singers when he was in third grade, will open the song by singing along with a video of himself performing the tune during his first year with the choir. O'Gorman will hand a battery-operated candle to Oliver, symbolically passing the torch, and Oliver will pick up the tune. The song will conclude with all the young singers chiming in.
Berry and two other music educators founded the young singers to give children a place to sing irrespective of school boundaries, arts education funding cuts or racial, religious or socioeconomic backgrounds.
The group, which is based at the Kravis Center, started with 75 singers and two choirs. It's grown to 325 singers and seven choirs. About 25 percent receive some form of financial aid for tuition. An outreach program in the Glades provides free music education and performance opportunities to 60 children.
The group has received four Muse Awards from the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. The organization performs two all-choir concerts each year at the Kravis Center's Dreyfoos Hall. Last season, its ensembles entertained at nearly 20 community events and fund-raisers.
Resident Dave Frankland, owner of Vinoutlet, a Palm Beach wine and craft beer boutique, has two children in the program: Sean Luca, 13, and Angela, 12.
Like Oliver, Sean Luca is an irrepressible singer.
About four years ago, Sean Luca auditioned for the young singers and was accepted.
Young Singers has given their children not only an outstanding musical education, it's also taught them discipline and self-confidence and introduced them to youngsters who share their interests, if not necessarily their backgrounds, Frankland and Goodman said.
"They're all different, but all have the same kind of passion," Frankland said.
For the young songsters that might be the biggest reason to sing.

Canadian Music Industry Takes Aim At Google, Facebook, Reddit & Tech Startups With Bill C-11 Demands
The steady procession of Canadian music industry representatives to the Bill C-11 committee continues today with the Canadian Independent Music Association (CIMA) ready to add to an already long list of industry demands to completely overhaul the bill. The music industry demands keep growing, but CIMA's list is the most radical to date as it would create liability risk for social networking sites, search engines, blogging platforms, video sites, aggregators, and many other websites featuring third party contributions. If that were not enough, the industry is also calling for a new iPod tax, an extension in the term of copyright, a removal of protections for user generated content, parody, and satire, as well as an increase in statutory damage awards. Taken together, the music industry demands make SOPA look like some minor tinkering with the law.
Note that industry had already called for SOPA-style reforms such as website blocking and expanded liability that could extend to sites such as YouTube before the hearings began. This week has seen an industry lawyer inaccurately portray global approaches to digital lock rules and a musician association demand full statutory damages of up to $20,000 per infringement for non-commercial infringements by individuals.
Those demands are nothing compared to what CIMA has in mind, however. Topping the list is a massive expansion of the enabler provision. The music industry wants to remove a requirement that the so-called pirate sites be "designed primarily" to enable copyright infringement. It states:

Beyond NZ & Switzerland: How Dozens of Countries Have More Flexible Digital Lock Rules Than C-11
The Bill C-11 committee began its sprint to the finish yesterday, hearing from the first series of witnesses with plans to hold four hearings per week until mid-March followed by two weeks of clause-by-clause review of the bill. The first panel included my colleague Jeremy deBeer, who pointed out that a review of hundreds of articles on legal protection for digital locks shows consensus that the restrictive approach found in Bill C-11 is unnecessary for WIPO compliance and likely to result in unintended consequences.
The committee heard from another witness, lawyer James Gannon, that the absence of digital lock legislation is hurting our economy (a reminder that the Canadian digital music market has grown faster than the U.S. for five consecutive years, that Netflix chose Canada as its first foreign market, and the music industry now calls Canada a greenfield opportunity might be in order) and that New Zealand and Switzerland – both OECD countries who link circumvention to actual copyright infringement in their digital lock rules – were the only developed ones that don't follow the "international standard" with many of the remaining 80 or so countries having "compliant or more robust standards" for digital locks.
Yet a review of dozens of countries that have implemented the WIPO Internet treaties demonstrates that this is plainly wrong. In addition to key allies that do not have any anti-circumvention rules (e.g. Israel), have proposed more flexible rules (e.g. India), or have adopted more flexible rules but have yet to ratify the WIPO Internet treaties (e.g. New Zealand), it is worth noting:
Documentary Organization of Canada Proposes Exception to C-11 Digital Lock Rule
The Documentary Organization of Canada has proposed specific language for a new exception to the C-11 digital lock rules that would exempt circumvention for documentary film makers.

NDO/VNA – A respect-paying ceremony for former Politburo member Nguyen Duc Binh, who was also former head of the Central Theoretical Council and former Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, was held on February 3 at his birthplace in Hong Linh town, the central province of Ha Tinh.
The ceremony saw the participation of leaders of central agencies and the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, the Military Zone 4, Ha Tinh and Nghe An provinces, and a large number of locals.
Addressing the event, Secretary of the Ha Tinh Party Committee Le Dinh Son reviewed milestones in the revolutionary life of Binh, underlining outstanding contributions that Binh made to the revolutionary career of the Party and people, especially in ideology, politics, culture, science and education.
He extended his deepest sympathy to the family of the late official over the great loss.
Nguyen Duc Binh was born on September 9, 1927 in the central province of Ha Tinh. He participated in revolutionary activities in August 1945 and became a member of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) in 1946. He was a member of the CPV Central Committee in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th tenures, and a member of the Politburo in the 7th and 8th tenures.
Binh passed away at 0:44am on January 31 at the Central Military Hospital 108 due to old age and serious illness. A State funeral was held for him on February 2.
On February 3, a burial service took place for the late official in Ru Nam cemetery in Trung Luong ward, Hong Linh town.


An Honors Senior Project is required for graduation through the WWU Honors Program. The Senior Project serves as a "capstone" experience, synthesizing what students have done in their entire education, including but not limited to their work in the major and in Honors.
The term, Senior Project, is vague, and for a reason. The term "Senior Thesis" is easily available, but it is one the WWU Honors Program deliberately has avoided. While the project must be "product oriented," i.e., there must be something tangible at the end of the process, it may be a long paper, that is a thesis, but it may also take several other forms, e.g., a recital, a painting, an album, a bound book, all of which have been quite successful senior projects.

It's a Brechtian epic drama relating the events leading up to dropping the atomic bomb on Japan. Most of the characters are real-life historical people: President Truman, Enrico Fermi, Robert Oppenheimer, Stalin, Churchill.
Here's the author's note to the script:
Enola Gay is a history play. The events in it have been authenticated by multiple sources, and in many instances are part of the historical record, whether it be from the published or unpublished letters, diaries and memoirs of the key participants in the story, [or] official transcripts of the meetings. Scenes of direct address by specific characters are verbatim.
These are the characters own words. In the private meetings of the characters when the doors are closed and only brief quotes are available of what was actually said, I have used my imagination. Of course, this does not make it a documentary, but for such a topic, there is no loose playing with the facts. The] dates of many scenes are part of the historical record.


Finally got my Miami photos up on the blog ! Most have already been peppered through my Instagram in real time but nice to see them all together here in one post. I spent my time between The Mondrian South Beach and The Delano, 2 absolutely gorgeous hotels with the most beautiful pool areas. It was my first time in Miami and I definitely plan on heading back for a longer stay. Enjoy the pics !


Did I hear this right? Yep, she said "trunk monkey". Awesome. Haven't heard about trunk monkey? Trunk monkey was featured in a series of commercials for Suburban Auto Group. The commercials are pretty funny and were an Internet viral video.
Back to 'Pushing Daisies'. Everything turns out all right and Ned is freed from jail.
Back to the trunk monkey. Here is the first "Trunk Monkey" video, "Road Rage".

Johnson "John" Gideon Bingham (1845-1926), A farmer, town supervisor, and coin dealer who lived at Solon, with a mailing address of McGraw (McGrawville), Cortland County, New York. He was born on June 21, 1845, the son of farmers, Samuel (1806-1891) and Sally Randall Bingham (1808-1890). His family is directly descended from Judge Johnson Bingham (1764-1843), a Revolutionary War soldier who lived in Shaftsbury, Vermont; and in January 1794 removed to Solon, Cortland County, New York. Judge Johnson Bingham is the son of Gideon Bingham (1714-1796) of Canterbury, Connecticut, for whom Johnson Gideon Bingham, the subject of our sketch has received his middle name.  Gideon Bingham was a direct descendant of Samuel Bingham who came from England in 1686. Judge Johnson Bingham planted the first apple orchard in Cortland County on his 550-acre farm. His grandson Johnson G. Bingham, kept his grandfather Johnson's rifle and sword from the Revolutionary War as relics and family heirlooms. The nostalgia of his colonial family together with other various heirlooms he inherited stimulated Bingham to become a collector and dealer in coins and other antiquities.
On November 21, 1872, he married Mariah W. Kinney (1851-1928) and they had a daughter, Maud Charlotte (1876-1968).
His daughter Maud became a coin dealer like her father.

He was a collector and dealer of U. S. and ancient coins and colonial, confederate and fractional currency, and curiosities since 1860, as well as later on about 1880 as a numismatic writer. He took a trip with wife and family to California in November 1884 and a notice of this was published by Ebenezer Locke Mason, Jr. in Mason's Coin and Stamp Collectors' Magazine.
He died April 28, 1926. He is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Well-Known Citizen Succumbs to Heart-Attack Was Supervisor of Solon Several Years - Nearly 81 Years Old.
McGrawville, May 5 - Johnson G. Bingham, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of this place, died very suddenly at his home on the Solon road last Wednesday. Mr. Bingham's daughter, Mrs. Frank Wadsworth, who lives across the way, saw him fall in the yard about 4 o'clock. She ran to his assistance but lived only a few minutes. He had been subject to heart spells. His age was 80 years, and 10 months. Funeral services were held at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wadsworth on Friday; Burial in the Rural Cemetery.

Is Brand Activism Good for Everyone?
Already this year we've witnessed love and dislike around social responsibility advertising from Gillette, a new all inclusive venture into happiness with Coke, and a very timely move launching Guinness Clear. Kotler and Sarkar have recently published a book welcoming Brand Activism and Philip Kotler proposes that "Brand Activism is the leader's way forward – for your customers, you employees, society, and the planet itself".

A Novel Construction of Genome Space with Biological Geometry
Chenglong Yu, Qian Liang, Changchuan Yin, Rong He, Stephen Yau
A genome space is a moduli space of genomes. In this space, each point corresponds to a genome. The natural distance between two points in the genome space reflects the biological distance between these two genomes. Currently, there is no method to represent genomes by a point in a space without losing biological information. Here, we propose a new graphical representation for DNA sequences. The breakthrough of the subject is that we can construct the moment vectors from DNA sequences using this new graphical method and prove that the correspondence between moment vectors and DNA sequences is one-to-one. Using these moment vectors, we have constructed a novel genome space as a subspace in RN. It allows us to show that the SARS-CoV is most closely related to a coronavirus from the palm civet not from a bird as initially suspected, and the newly discovered human coronavirus HCoV-HKU1 is more closely related to SARS than to any other known member of group 2 coronavirus. Furthermore, we reconstructed the phylogenetic tree for 34 lentiviruses (including human immunodeficiency virus) based on their whole genome sequences. Our genome space will provide a new powerful tool for analyzing the classification of genomes and their phylogenetic relationships.

In the city of Monstropolis, the city of monsters, several monsters work as scarers of children, so that they can derive the screams of children that powers the city. Star scarer Sullivan, fondly called as Sulley, and his best buddy, Mike Wazowski, top the records in the number of scares, inviting jealousy from their counterpart Randall Boggs.
Randall Boggs tries to kidnap a girl, and accidentally Mike and Sulley come in the possession of the girl. They get terrified as the monsters have always been informed that the touch of a human child can kill then. So, the CDA- the Child Detection Agency- had been formed to detect human children. Sulley and Mike try to protect the child, who is lively and not afraid one bit. But Randall Boggs also keeps trying to kidnap the child.
The child, who is named as Boo(because she keeps saying that) by Sulley, creates all sort of trouble for the two star monsters. While trying to escape, Boo and Sulley discover a secret passage formed by Randall that leads to the place where they get to know of Randall's horrible plan.
Finally, they go to Waternoose, the CEO of Monsters, Inc., and explain the situation hoping that he might help. But to their shock, they find Waternoose part of the conspiracy teaming up with Randall Boggs! They get kicked off to the Himalayas, and the child is taken away from them. But, Sulley and Mike come back, and rescue Boo from the hands of the capturers.
Then the climax comes, which is really very nice. The bad guys get defeated and they are arrested. The Monsters, Inc. stays on but with a new role. Monsters make children laugh and power is derived from laughter rather than screams!
That was a very nice ending! I especially liked the parts where Sulley and Mike experiment with the kid but thinking that they might die if she touches!
The story is very nice. The animation was very good. I loved Boo and Mike Wazowski!
The movie is fun to watch!

Golf icon Greg Norman has sent fans into a frenzy after his eagle-eyed Instagram followers noticed an X-rated detail in his latest post.
On Monday, the 65-year-old uploaded an image to the social media platform of himself alongside his dog on Jupiter Island in Florida.
The post is harmlessly captioned: "A man and his dog on a Sunday."

Norman's impressive figure is on display in the shirtless snap, but several of his 175,000 followers were more interested in the clear outline of his manhood visible through his blue shorts.
One follower commented: "Christ! … That's not a knife."
Another replied: "Doesn't leave much to the imagination!"
One more responded: "Ummm I cannot focus on the dog, my eyes were somewhere else."
Greg Norman's revealed Instagram photo.
Speaking to ESPN in 2018, Norman claimed he enjoys walking around his home naked from time to time.
"I work out a minimum of five days a week, sometimes six days. I always take at least one day off," Norman said.
"I have a full gym at my house. I built it. It's got a cardio room, a full weight room, free weights, all that stuff.
"It's not a big deal to me, right? At the end of the day, I do enjoy keeping fit at my age. I don't have any ego about me, but I do love having a fit life."
The Australian won two majors during his stellar golf career, and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2001. He spent 333 weeks as the world's No. 1 in the 1980s.
Norman has found himself in the headlines recently for a series of bizarre comments about the coronavirus and American politics.
The US-based businessman, known as The Great White Shark, gave a ringing endorsement of US President Donald Trump in an exclusive interview with The Australian.
"(From) my business perspective, he's done a phenomenal job," Norman said. "He has pretty much stuck to all his promises he made when he was elected.
"Very few people who are elected as president follow through on their promises.
"Yes, he is bombastic; yes, he has a different style; but to see him actually commit to his word about what he wants to do is actually pretty impressive.
"And it's having a domino effect on the American economy, it has a domino effect on people I employ."
Australian golf legend Greg Norman.
Speaking to Seven News about Trump's response to the global pandemic, Norman also suggested the US President shouldn't be judged on a once-in-a-lifetime event.
"You name me one individual on this planet, one individual that has experienced a pandemic like this - nobody," Norman said. "It was 100 years ago, right?"
Norman praised Trump for giving "a rudder to millions and millions of Americans that never had a rudder before", adding the famous businessman turned politician "gave them a voice, he gave them a belief".

I think all of the the business and stress is going to pay off, but I'm also wishing you a peaceful and relaxing weekend! So much (good) has been going on in your life, but of my goodness you also deserve some rest! I love these blog relaunches- it just shows that there's a bigger picture and nothing is the end of the world or the blog!
I sure hope so :) Thanks for always being there Margaret!
Gretch! We are so so honored to be featured as part of your Friday Favorites! Can't tell you how much that means. I'm so glad you're following along with Emma and JW's Best Day Ever. :) Also, the 2pm slump is too real. Can't wait to try some of these suggestions!
I couldn't leave you out of course! You're my girls!
Your blog is amazing, Gretchen. You combine info on a variety of interesting subjects. I can't wait to try shrimp scampi. Don will love it. Have a great weekend.
I just had shrimp scampi last night for dinner. That dish is delicious! I wish I drank more water at work. But my work is kind of in the country and the water there is yucky. My boss even has to bring jugs of water in from home to make the coffee in the morning. She does bring in plenty cases of water. But I always feel bad drinking hers when my water bottle is empty that I bring in.
SOO good :) Sorry to hear about your water..that's a bummer!
What's wrong withyou is that we are closer. But since you just bought a house I guess I should be the one to fix that.
I agree! Move to the burgh!
Seriously, Pioneer Woman can do no wrong in my mind. I've never eated something of hers and been like, ehhh no thanks.
Agreed!! Obsessed with her cookbook.
I LOVE The Pioneer Woman! I recently added her cookbook to my Amazon wishlist because I always find myself printing her recipes off from the website! I like that most of her recipes are easy to make - they're delicious, but don't require a lot of technical culinary skill (which I lack haha).
I've started planning for a blog relaunch. I've learned so much that I want to incorporate and change. the relaunch is still definitely a few months away, but I'm excited!
You need to get it! It's the best cookbook I've used. I love how she has a picture for each step too..so helpful!
Ree Drummond's cookbooks are AMAZING. :) I completely agree that this has seemed like the month of blog relaunches.
I'm going to have to check out some of those blogs! Mmmmm and shrimp scampi is one of my favorite meals ever. Basically anything with shrimp :) Have an awesome weekend Gretchen!
Seriously so good..and yes shrimp is da bomb.
I'm a fan of all Tazo tea. You just can't go wrong! And the mint definitely has a ZIP to wake you up even if it's not full of caffeine. Thanks for linking up to High 5 Friday!
It's so amazing :) Thanks for hosting!
oooh, I'm boiling water for tea as we speak and have a box of Tazo Refresh Mint in the cupboard - that's the winner tonight!
That's what I do as well! Best travel hack ever.
Oh shoot! I'm sorry I missed your one year anniversary post!! That's what happens when I do an extra post in a given week...I get behind on everyone else. CONGRATS on making it one year! It's kind of a big deal! I really need to look into those Peak Energy tabs! I often want an energy boost in the afternoon (when I'm hauling my kids all over town and stuff) but don't want to have to carry a coffee cup around or have a full bladder at an inconvenient time! LOL! Love your Friday recap as always! Will have to check out some of your re-launched fave blogs!
oh yay for unfancy! that's awesome that she is bag. congrats on your one year blog anniversary, that is awesome. i laughed pretty hard at the 2:00 slump because it is 2 right now and i am really wanting a nap. shrimp scampi is one of my favourite meals ever, and that chicken sounds delish - i'll have to check out her cookbook!
The PW is my FAVORITE Food Network cook. I want to be her bestie.

Intralox to Invest $60 Million in Major Expansion of Hammond Facility
Expansion more than doubles the size of current facility; project to retain 187 jobs and result in over 1,000 direct, indirect new jobs
HAMMOND, La. — Gov. John Bel Edwards and Intralox President Edel Blanks announced the company is investing $60 million to expand its Hammond manufacturing facility. The investment will more than double the facility's current footprint, adding 300,000 square feet to the 130,000 square-foot building. With the expansion, the company will create 425 direct new jobs, increasing the average annual payroll by $10 million. Intralox is retaining 187 employees already on site, and Louisiana Economic Development estimates the project will result in 582 indirect jobs, for a total of more than 1,000 new jobs in Louisiana's Southeast Region over the next eight years.
Intralox's Hammond facility produces modular plastic conveyor belts, which are used in food, industrial, and e-commerce industries. Belts and components produced at the state-of-the-art facility are shipped to Intralox assembly facilities across the world. The expansion is set to be complete by the end of 2022 and will increase the Hammond facility's belting output by 50 percent. The jobs created with the expansion will include non-technical, technical, and engineering roles.
"I am proud to celebrate this new expansion of Intralox's manufacturing facility in Hammond, and to celebrate this company's 50 outstanding years in operation, right here in Louisiana," said Gov. Edwards. "What better way to commemorate this milestone anniversary than with a renewed commitment to our state and her people. The 425 direct new Intralox jobs in Hammond will result in increased economic activity, and tremendous success for this homegrown company."
The major expansion comes as Intralox celebrates its 50th year in operation. To commemorate the company's journey from a small shop to a global manufacturing enterprise, Intralox is expanding its capacity for future growth. In June, the company announced workforce expansions at its Hammond and Harahan facilities, adding 40 new jobs at both locations. Intralox serves more than 60,000 customers in over 100 countries.
"This expansion represents the massive growth we've experienced during the last few years and enables us to rapidly increase our production and assembly capacity," said Intralox President Edel Blanks. "We look forward to expanding our local workforce with the added benefit of meeting the increased demand of our customers around the world."
Intralox is a division of Laitram, whose other divisions include Lapeyre Stair, Laitram Machinery, and Laitram Machine Shop. Headquartered in Harahan, Laitram employs over 3,000 people globally. Intralox operates assembly and distribution centers in Australia, Brazil, China, India, Japan, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. With more than 1,500 patents in force around the world, Intralox's portfolio of technologies and services enhances food safety, powers e-commerce, and solves challenges for industries ranging from food processing to industrial manufacturing to logistics and material handling.
"Intralox has been a fantastic addition to Tangipahoa over the years and continues to grow their operations here," Tangipahoa Parish President Robby Miller said. "The exceptional people and products at Intralox are recognized worldwide as leaders in their industry. Their commitment to being exceptional corporate citizens and employee-centric proves being good people makes for good business. Tangipahoa Parish is grateful Intralox is one of us."
To support the expansion of the Intralox facility in Hammond, the State of Louisiana provided the company with a competitive incentive package that includes a $1 million performance-based grant to support infrastructure improvements. The company is expected to utilize the state's Quality Jobs program.
"Recruitment of new business is vital to economic development, but supporting existing businesses as they grow and expand is monumental," said Ginger Cangelosi, executive director of economic development for Tangipahoa Parish Government. "Tangipahoa Economic Development would like to congratulate the team at Intralox/Laitram as they enter into the next phase of their substantial expansion. We are extremely grateful for their continued investment in Tangipahoa Parish and are proud to have Intralox remain one of our key economic driver companies."
"Laitram and Intralox might be known as an advanced manufacturing company, but in my mind, they are really a talent factory," said Michael Hecht, President and CEO of Greater New Orleans, Inc. "With this in mind, it is particularly exciting to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the company with the addition of hundreds of new Laitram and Intralox employees in Tangipahoa and Greater New Orleans."

Humane research workshops
Posted in misc - 2021-08-30 - 7 Comments
I'm thinking about a humane research workshop/conference model, compatible with mid 21st century climate and health emergencies. How about this:
Two page papers/extended abstracts solicited via public call, and peer reviewed by at least three people each from a diverse panel.
Chosen papers are presented as pre-recorded 15-20 minute talks.
These videos are streamed two at a time, in sessions 12 hours apart, and then rewatchable at any time.
The first of these session has intro and just one talk. The following sessions have one video from previous session and one new one. The reason being that people can watch all the videos by attending half the sessions, and see half the videos as the first premiere.
Participants attend one session per 24 hours, at the time that best fits their time zone / sleeping pattern. Basically the workshop operates in two 'phases', offset by 12 hours, in communication with each other.
Those at a timezone compatible with both phases are encouraged to join the one which would otherwise have fewer people.
There could be six talks over four days.
Discussion is summarised / minuted as text, and shared between the two phases. Part of the final session is for live responses/discussion between authors.
Authors submit a final, potentially extended version of their paper, to include responses to other talks, published open access.
Multiple 'hubs' are organised (ideally at least one per continent, inspired by ICMPC/ESCOM) where people can watch and discuss the videos together, perhaps building in-person events around the sessions that may or may not be streamed online.
Bursaries could then made available for a few early career researchers to travel between hubs for cultural exchange, with support for local touring over ~1 month to make the most of the workshop's emissions budget.
Giving up some responsibilities
It's volunteer responsibility amnesty day every solstice, the next one on the 21st December 2021. This is good timing for me, so until then I'm going to add to this post with some responsibilities I'm giving up.
"I need to put a few things down. I hope other people pick them up and carry this work forward. But even if no one does, I need to stop, or at least pause for a while."
I've picked up quite a lot of community responsibilities over the past couple of decades, and would like to pick up some new ones, but need to put some existing ones down first.
TOPLAP live coding collective
current responsibility – running the server hosting the wordpress blog (which is in turn maintained by the excellent Luis Navarro Del Angel) and the discourse forum, and (badly) running a discord chat server. Renewing/paying for the toplap.org domain. I've been running a TOPLAP rocketchat too. No-one really has responsibility for TOPLAP as an organisation, it's pretty defuse these days. I helped bring together the TOPLAP transnodal stream in February which was huge and amazing, but I feel we're a bit lacking in the organisational structure to make it happen again. I co-ran a TOPLAP livecode festival in 2018 but don't think I'll have the capacity to do that again. *edit* oh and the toplap social media thingies on twitter, facebook and I think instagram..
want to keep doing this? No, I won't have time next year. I don't mind continuing to provide server space for the web and discourse server but it'd be better if someone else took it on really. That said very happy to support others taking things on, with advice and help.
next step I'd love for others to take over these responsibilities but I'm not sure how to go about that. Without action I fear TOPLAP will fade away, but maybe that's not a bad thing if it leaves space for something else? The rocketchat has gone quiet now people have mostly moved to discord and telegram etc, so I'll shut that down at the end of August 2021 (warning and consulting people about this some months ago). Drop by the forum or drop me an email if you'd like to get involved and pick up some responsibilities!
Algorave collective
current responsibility – overlapping with TOPLAP above, running the algorave website which these days is mostly a gig listing, although I fear quite a lot of algoraves don't go listed. Renewing/paying for the algorave.org domain. Similar to the TOPLAP transnodal stream there have been worldwide algorave streams celebrating its birthday etc but not for a while, could do with some organisation. Algorave is coming up to its tenth birthday next year and it would be nice to do a distributed event for that. Mostly though algorave is an unproductive brand which people seem quite happy to spread around the world without coordination, which is great. Still, it would be nice to have more communication between the different algorave organisers. I co-organise algoraves in Sheffield when there isn't a pandemic on. *edit* Also the algorave twitter/facebook/instagram profiles/pages.
want to keep doing this? Again I don't mind continuing to provide server space for the web and discourse server but maybe it'd be better if someone else took it on. Generally would like to move to more collective organisation.
next step I'd like to put some effort into making something happen for algorave's birthday in March 2022 but then step back and focus on other things. It'd be great if other organisers reached out to each other to keep things moving and maybe working out what to do with algorave.com.
TidalCycles live coding environment for algorithmic pattern
current responsibility – tidalcycles.org is collectively run via a github repo with raph leading on the documentation which is excellent. Tyler kicked off an ace series of online meetups which have been great and are getting a lot of support.. and Andrea has taken on the Atom plugin and putting loads of work into pushing that forward. So I feel that tidal has a proper life of its own now which is great. I'm still accepting personal donations on the website but will soon switch this over to an opencollective page for a shared donations pool. In terms of Tidal as a free/open source project, I still lead on development, approving and commenting on pull requests, and am currently exploring a current rewrite. Julian Rohrhuber leads on SuperDirt as original and primary author of that part of the project. I also maintain the tidal social media profiles although they aren't so active, and host the club.tidalcycles.org forum and tidal discord although that could be more organised/collectively run. I was running an online video course although won't have time to add to that in the foreseeable future – all the materials are now in the creative commons. I also spend a fair bit of time answering questions from beginners up, and have mentored 'google summer of code' projects the last two summers.
want to keep doing this? Generally yes I want to stay involved, although the project needs to continue becoming more organised and generally get better at being welcoming of new users and contributors I think. Tidal itself needs to become more accessible, especially in terms of becoming easier to install.
next step The recent summer of code project by Martin brings us very close to a binary distribution of Tidal, automatically built on github actions, just needs a last push to get supercollider/superdirt bundled up and we're away.. Would be great to have some energy from others into this, to get things working and tested on multiple platforms. Passing on primary organisation of the forum and social media profiles would be great too, they could all do with a refresh. More iterations of the tidal club multiday streams would be ace too. Having others lead on moderation of the discord would also be good. I still feel I want to lead on the development side of the core Tidal pattern library, but as others contribute more PRs this could shift naturally. It'd be great if someone could take on organisation of regular or semi-regular tidal 'innards' meetings to get people working on different aspects of Tidal to coordinate more, and make the most out of Martin's summer of code work.

Tag: Media filed
What Ryan Kavanaugh news said when he was interviewed?
Ryan Kavanaugh News Reality Media filed for bankruptcy reorganization in New York on July 30, declaring itself "hopelessly insolvent." Reality Media has $560 million in assets but $1.18 billion in liabilities. Since May, before more than $330 million in outstanding debt became due, Kavanaugh, a 40-year-old wheeler-dealer from Los Angeles that co-founded the film and television firm in 2004, has been working feverishly to attract new investors and avoid a default. For years, many in Hollywood have predicted Kavanaugh's demise: He got his start in the news business in the mid-2000s by pulling in finance to support $500 million-plus studio sheets of paper at Sony Pictures and Universal Pictures, after his first firm collapsed when he was 22. His youthful age, cargo plane lifestyle, and vocal political involvement (particularly in favor of Israel) all contributed to him being a focus of business interest. Even though Kavanaugh claimed to be revolutionizing the company with a system of algorithms that avoided risks whenever Relativity began creating and releasing one's own films in 2010, many believed he would fail.
Few questions answered
What has it been like this for you over the last several weeks?
For the past month, my wife has always been in the hospital. I'm witnessing two of my children go through difficult times. It's almost strange because one minute a doctor tells me, "I don't know exactly what is going to happen to this baby," and the next minute I'm having? "I don't know what is really going to happen to that same baby," my attorneys said. But everything has happened many years ago in my life.
With whom were you conversing? Is there a fund for VII Peaks in the Bay Area?
We were in discussions with a number of potential investors. Some of the discussions had resulted in definite, binding, and committed agreements. The transactions, such as the $350 million contract with VII Peaks, were blocked and/or stolen by a top executive and paid consultant who saw a new way to fill their own wallets while hurting everyone else in the firm.
When Bay Area firm VII Peaks Capital also said that it was investing "substantial equity" in Relativity but instead Toronto-based Catalyst Capital Group agreed to acquire $130 million in senior debt in early July, ryan Kavanaugh news felt like he had discovered a way out. Kavanaugh also alleges that Catalyst agreed to make a $170 million investment decision, however this is when his problems began. Catalyst was taken out by subordinate debt holders, led by hedge fund Anchorage Capital, on July 9th. Kavanaugh had ran out of time a few weeks later, so Relativity filed for Chapter 11 reorganization. Since then, he has mainly kept silent.


Misdemeanor charge 5-3-53 for alleged contractor excavation error that resulted in damage to a high-pressure gas line after gas line markings were not detected resulted in a NOT GUILTY verdict at trial.
(a) Verification that rough grading is to within six (6) inches of finished grade must be provided to the operator in writing by the excavator or property owner before such operator shall commence excavation for the installation of its utility lines.
(b) When excavation approaches the location of any existing utility line(s), which shall have been previously located horizontally as provided in section 5-3-61(a) of this article, the exact location of such existing utility line(s) must be determined by adequately exposing them by hand digging within the proposed limits of excavation before excavation may resume. To prevent damage to such exposed existing utility line(s) or the protective coating thereof, proper supports shall be provided where required.
(c) Any excavator performing excavation or demolition is required to have an approved site plan, subdivision plan, or engineering plan indicating the existence of all known existing and proposed utility lines (with exception of house service laterals) at the site during excavation or demolition.
(d) Any person who is designated to operate mechanized equipment for the purpose of excavation or demolition shall not perform the excavation or demolition until he has examined the plan(s) provided in section, 5-3-53(c) of this article.
(e) The act of obtaining information as required by this article shall not excuse any person making any excavation or demolition from doing so in a careful and prudent manner nor shall it excuse such person from liability for any damage resulting from his negligence.

IMG's Jeni Rose and David Cunningham Talk Evolutions In Model Scouting
After 20-plus years in the business each, they should know.
Eliza Brooke

To get a sense for IMG's position within the fashion industry, one only needs a quick look through the women's board on its website, which is filled with Vogue favorites (Andreea Diaconu, Lara Stone), Victoria's Secret Angels (Candice Swanepoel, Elsa Hosk) and uncontested legends (Kate Moss). In this arena, as well as in the production of New York Fashion Week, the modeling agency is a big damn deal.
Now navigate over to the "development" board. There you'll find a host of youthful faces, relative newbies to the business. That's where Jeni Rose and David Cunningham, IMG's head model scouts, come into play.
With a collective 41 years at IMG between them — Rose joined the company just a year before Cunningham did — they're something of an institution. On a sunny summer afternoon, I went over to IMG's offices to hear how Rose and Cunningham got their starts in the scouting business and how things have changed since then.
Going back a little ways, how did each of you get into scouting?
JR: I knew I wanted to work in the modeling business since high school. I was in boarding school, and I called them up and pretended that I was casting a shoot and I needed copies of their books [of models]. People [sent them], crazily enough. I went through and figured out who everyone was.
I ended up working at a fashion advertising company that basically did catalogs. They were probably booking $10,000 in model fees a month, which was huge. They had a guy working as the casting director, and I got hired as his assistant.
Three weeks after I started, [the woman above me] was fired, and they asked me if I wanted the job. I said yes, I'll take the job — at the same salary as my present job, which was probably a great deal for them. I had such a large [casting] budget that I was able to get any models in. Every single day we weren't shooting, I would have a casting, and I would say to every agency, "Send me every single person you have who's not working." I figured it was my job to know who everyone was. So I would have these huge castings with girls like Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford. It was fantastic to see every model on the market; it gave me an amazing perspective.
I was doing a casting with a young American photographer who had spent a lot of time in France, and she said, "Who did you cast?" And I was like, "This one, that one," and she was like, "I don't want those. I want really cool girls. I want the cool girls from City in Paris." You never booked a model outside New York. I mean, why would you?
This photographer was really on to something. I started looking at these faces and why she picked those girls who had pale skin and jet black hair and really short haircuts when everybody else looked very traditionally, classically beautiful. It really expanded my horizons, and I realized I could find those sort of models. So I started working at an agency with a friend of mine, and then we opened our own little agency in New York. We were quite hip at the time. We were finding really cool people in general, and from there I moved to France and started at Ford, which was absolutely the diametric opposite of everything I was doing. It was great to have the start-up, young agency, and then to work for a very traditional agency.
David, how did you get your start in scouting?
DC: I always thought I was going to work in the arts, and moved to Paris to do my studies in art and art history. After I finished up there, it was right when the Berlin wall had just fallen. So my boyfriend at the time and I packed up — he had a motorbike — drove to Berlin and figured it out. I wound up working in construction and welding, because I knew how to weld from sculpture. I did that for six or seven months and figured out that Berlin wasn't where we wanted to live. So we moved back to Paris.
In the middle of the night, I got a call from Susanne Bartsch, who throws amazing parties. I had known her from New York and we had mutual friends. She said, "I was wondering if you would help me work on an AIDS charity benefit that we're doing called the Balade de L'Amour?"
For the Balade de L'Amour, I was kind of the wrangler for all the English-speaking people who were walking the runway. The whole concept was that no models walked the runway — it was only celebrities and AIDS researchers. My group was hysterical. I had Boy George, Neneh Cherry, Jane Birkin and all these English celebrities who had come from London. They sent Kate Moss, who was still starting out. It was 1991. She was too embarrassed to go onstage, as was Kylie Minogue, so they were just kind of running around with me all night.
I went to work as the assistant to the art director of a commercial film production company in Paris. He was a great guy and a friend of a friend, and he was on the committee for Balade de L'Amour. [He] didn't want to do casting, so he asked me to film all the models. I knew how to splice film together, and I would give him the casting reel and he would take it to the client. I'd done a couple with him, and as I would hand it in, I'd say, "She's going to get the job. She nailed it." And the customer always went with the person I thought was going to be it.
On a Playtex commercial, the last model of the day was this girl named Tess. It was this ridiculous thing; they were in underwear, and they were pretending that they were diving into a pool. We laughed and laughed, and she said, "Want to go grab a drink?" So we did, and she said, "Why aren't you working at an agency? You should really be working at a modeling agency."
I went in to meet with Nathalie Cros-Coitton, who ran Partners in Paris at the time, and we instantly hit it off. By the time I got home, she had left a message on my voicemail saying, "If you're interested, I have a manager who's going out on maternity leave. You'll just be a manager and you'll sit right next to me and you'll make mistakes." She was great, so I said okay. I did that for a few months and by that time I liked the job. I really loved [models] going from zero to 100.
That manager/booker at the time came back, and a guy who owned an agency in London approached me. So I wound up working in London for a bit. That was a nightmare, and I came back to Paris saying, "I will bartend and paint." And then a friend of mine called and said IMG just opened in Paris. I said, "Oh god, I'm not interested in that job." Then I realized that bartending at night is not super conducive to painting during the day. Like, you have to sleep at some point.
I called Natalie, who by that time had opened her own agency. She was like, "I'd love to hire you but I don't have anything available, but IMG is going to be amazing. They're new, but you should really go talk to them." So Natalie called Jeni.
JR: I had opened IMG Paris with another person. IMG is an amazing company to work for, but they always give you what you need in retrospect. You go and do the job, and then they'll give you the staff. There were two of us and we needed another person. We had found a girl there, [who was] the first model I signed at IMG — she was on the cover of Italian Vogue seven weeks later... so they said, you guys can have staff.
We got a phone call a day later. They said, "We know a guy, and he's great. He's American and he speaks fluent French... and he has working papers in France." Perfect. So David came in. The sun was high in the sky at that point, and when we finished talking, it was pitch black.
Fifteen minutes into our conversation I thought he had to work there, and if he didn't work there, he had to be my friend. So afterwards I was like, "When can you start?" And then you started the next week.
When you both got into the business, scouting was confined to a relatively small number of geographic regions. What did your strategy for entering new markets look like?
JR: You basically have to figure out the way to scout in each place, because there's a really different way you go about it in every country. For example, in Brazil for a very long time they had these guys who would organize buses from certain areas and they would sell tickets to girls. You had to be [at least] 5'8" and you had to be such-and-such an age and then you could buy a ticket. That included an overnight trip to Sao Paolo, with a visit to a mall and a visit to a water park, and they would invite agencies along. It was kind of a genius idea. Every person you talk to in Brazil thinks they found Gisele because they all saw her at different places — at the water park, at the mall.
Whereas in Russia, we would take the Trans-Siberian Railway from one end of Russia to the other, sleeping on the train, and then riding for hours to the next city. We would get off, take showers, go to a casting, get dinner, get on the train and get off 18 hours later. You could go from Vladivostok to Moscow. There are 6,000 registered modeling schools in Russia; we would stop and they would all come meet with us.
DC: One of the most exciting parts of our job is not just that we go someplace and do the same thing. Every place we go, we learn its culture and its business. We thought we knew what we were getting into when we went to India. We went into one modeling agency, and we thought we were going in for a casting, like you would anywhere else. We were like, "So... can we see some models?" And they would go to the computer and be like, "Here's her resume."
You try to figure out: if that's their sphere of the modeling industry and we have ours over here, where do they overlap?
Back then, what sort of prep work did you do in advance of making those trips?

How Fashion Schools Are Teaching the Metaverse
All Your Favorites Looked Amazing at the Valentino Haute Couture Show
JR: [Reach out to] schools and scouts to organize castings for us. There were certain places where we really tried to make things happen that we've never been able to make things happen. Moldova is one place like that for us. It's a mix of Russian, Moldov and Romanian — it should be amazing, and we've never been able to really crack it. There are beautiful girls everywhere, but you need someone on the ground who understands the business enough to be able to be your eyes and your ears.
DC: It's really almost more valuable than finding the girls. When we have a partner in the place, they can say, "This girl just walked in the door," or "I spotted this girl. What do you think?"
JR: I can go out and walk around for three hours a day and not find anyone. Unless, of course, I was in Australia. Oh my gosh, it's great there.
Why's that?
DC: So many reasons. The people are just beautiful people. They can travel anywhere, and they're polite and well-mannered.
JR: They're fun.
DC: Speaking English is a huge leg up as well. The reason we opened the office in Australia is that nobody was really actively looking for models there. We saw a big opportunity and really pushed to open the Australian office.
How did you build up that international network of partners who could be on the ground scouting for you?
JR: Well, that's why we're happy that we're doing so much Instagram scouting. It's a lot to maintain. I'm not so sure that it's not moving away from [on the ground scouting] at this point.
Just because it's so easy to scout on social?
DC: It's changed our business. There's no two ways about it. It's absolutely changed our business.
Were there any other similarly massive shifts in how you do business before social media came along?
JR: Not really. This is it. It's a game changer. Last week, we did meetings with five or six girls [from Instagram], and each one was more gorgeous than the next.
DC: More and more, people tend to think, "Why would I subject myself to go in and be evaluated by a modeling agent when I could just hashtag my photo, and they'll check me and out and let me know if they're interested?" A lot of the models we're scouting didn't let anybody know that they were hashtagging until they knew we were interested — and then they told their mom. There's that fear of rejection, and it's sort of eliminated this way.
If social has been so huge for you guys, what's the utility of going out on the street now?
JR: Our mindset now is about having a lot of our own models — as a company, we would like to have girls [for whom] we're their mother agents, that we found on our own. That happens whether we're doing it through Instagram or standing outside a Target. We followed two tours in the UK [recently]. We came up with a schedule where we were at a concert every night for two weeks. We were just finding fantastic, super tall, gorgeous girls that never knew they could [model].
You guys have traveled the world scouting girls. What regions do you feel are still untapped at this point?
JR: I want to go more places in the US. Every summer I always say to David, "You can't believe how great it is at the state fair!" An old friend of mine who's a photographer and always shoots the rodeo was saying that you're crazy if you're not going here.
When I was covering New York Fashion Week: Men's, I was blown away by the fact that male models are often as old as 30. Are you scouting them older?
DC: Entry into the men's market is just an older age. Generally when we're looking for guys we're looking for 18-plus.
Does that make it harder to get them onboard, if they've possibly already begun their college studies or started a career?
DC: For guys and for anybody, the last thing you want is to derail somebody's life and everything they have going on. We're really honest, whether it's with a girl or a guy, in saying this is an opportunity and it might not work out. We believe in you, but there's no sure shot. It depends on the guy. Some guys are like, "Great, let me try it." They have a life that they can work it into. And some are like, "I'm studying to do this..." and we're like, "Do that." Be a really handsome lawyer. You know?
When you're scouting people in the street, how hard do you try to sell them on modeling if they seem hesitant?
JR: We never, ever take their number. We always give them our number. You'll see how interested they are if they call you. In France, it's a really lonely road because they never call you. But usually in America, they'll call. In the UK, it's 50/50. Maybe 70/30.
I've watched some of our competitors — they were photographing the girls. I would really hate if somebody photographed my child and I didn't know about it. We're never doing that. And they were also asking for phone numbers, which we won't do, either. We have on our business cards all our social accounts so they'll check you out and come back to you [a few minutes later]. It's great because we're all in real time.
Were those rules you always had in place or did you develop them along the way?
JR: I think we've always done that. I just think it's right. I would not like to call the house of somebody going, "Hi, I met your daughter and I asked for your phone number and now I'm calling your house."
Diversity on the runways has been a big conversation in recent years. What sort of discussions are you guys having in the office on that front?
DC: It's funny because we're looking for great — whatever that means. We've come up against that in India a lot. They would say, "The girls you're interested in... they seem to have very dark skin. Is that an issue for you?" We were like, "It seems like it's an issue for you; we didn't even think about it." But for us, beautiful is beautiful. We're definitely aware of diversity on the runway. We're pushing for more and more diversity, not just women of color or men of color, but also size diversity and age diversity. And it's not just about the runway. There's a much bigger picture to how we widen it.
