July 18, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

We’ve noticed a dating trend: When it rains, it pours.

The same can be said for Alyssa Miller‘s relationship pattern, since she just went public with her new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal. So what other new courtship is on the horizon for the Sports Illustrated model? A brand new contract with IMG Models.

There’s been speculation that the 24-year-old made the switch from Elite Model Management to IMG, but we finally received official confirmation via Twitter yesterday:

Despite the fact that IMG Worldwide is up for sale and that Creative Artists Agency (CAA) has already been identified as a potential purchaser of the global sports, fashion and media business, IMG continues to add value by increasing its assets. The latest move is the acquisition of management company IGP Sports & Entertainment Group, a company established in 1996 as a tournament production and professional athlete management firm. IGP currently manages the U.S. PGA Tour’s Honda Classic (at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida) and represents PGA Tour Professionals including Glen Day, Mathias Gronberg, Dicky Pride and Duffy Waldorf.

IMG Worldwide, a global sports, fashion and media business, is up for sale. That much is known. Last week, Rachel Abrams of Variety wrote that Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is working with a couple of banks to put together a possible bid in an effort to acquire IMG Worldwide. The price tag for IMG could be as high as $2 billion, making it the largest acquisition for CAA since its founding 38-years ago.

Fix script error (%%n)

Hi,

I’m currently tinkering with a script that uses the for command to process all *.gif files in the current folder.

I marked the spot where it exits out with an error by adding a “pause”

The error message given is:

Code:

convert.exe: unable to open image `%x': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c

/OpenBlob/2641.

convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format `%x' @ error/constitute.c/

ReadImage/550.

convert.exe: invalid argument for option `-geometry': ) @ error/convert.c/Conver

tImageCommand/1619.

The script is:

Code:

@echo off
SET REP="C:UsersPascalDesktopMMBN3ProgramsProgramParts1blnk.gif"

SET SUB="C:UsersPascalDesktopMMBN3ProgramsProgramParts2blnkCMD.gif"

SET SRC=%%n

:start

for %%n in (*.gif) do ( "%IMG%compare" -metric RMSE %%n %SUB% -subimage-search found.png 2>co.txt ) set /p xycos= <co.txt set str=%xycos% echo.%str% set str=%str:,=+% ECHO %str% > co.TXT set /p xycos= <co.txt set str=%xycos% echo."%str%" set str=%str: =% ECHO %str% > co.TXT set /p xycos= <co.txt set str=%xycos% echo.%str% set str=%str:@= +% ECHO %str% > co.TXT set /p xycos= <co.txt set str=%xycos% echo.%str% set str=%str:~-12% ECHO %str% > co.TXT set /p xcoyco= <co.txt ECHO %str% >> coordinates.TXT pause for %%n in (*.gif) do CALL :run :run "%IMG%convert" ^ %%x ^ ( %REP% -geometry %xcoyco% ) ^ -composite ^ %%x ECHO %str% >> coordinates.TXT goto start

Thanks in advance for your help

Repeat part of script infinitely ?

I currently have this script:

"%IMG%compare" -metric RMSE %SRC% %SUB% -subimage-search found.png 2>co.txt

set /p xycos= <co.txt

set str=%xycos%

echo.%str%

set str=%str:,=+%

ECHO %str% > co.TXT

set /p xycos= <co.txt

set str=%xycos%

echo."%str%"

set str=%str: =%

ECHO %str% > co.TXT

set /p xycos= <co.txt

set str=%xycos%

echo.%str%

set str=%str:@=      +%

ECHO %str% > co.TXT

set /p xycos= <co.txt

set str=%xycos%

echo.%str%

set str=%str:~-8%

ECHO %str% > co.TXT

set /p xcoyco= <co.txt

"%IMG%convert" ^

  %SRC% ^

  ( %REP% -geometry %xcoyco% ) ^

  -composite ^

  %SOURCE%

DEL found-0.png

DEL found-1.png

Is there any way I can repeat it infinitely till it terminates itself (will happen once it won’t find any more matches) ?

I haven’t found such method in DOS yet and pasting the script a dozen hundered time isn’t what I’m after either.

Danica Patrick's Historic Pole Position at the Daytona 500 Means Growth for NASCAR and Her Sponsors

February 24, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

By Alicia Jessop, Contributor In the first race of her first season in the NASCAR Spring Cup racing circuit, Danica Patrick managed to do not only what no woman has ever done, but what many men have never done: Win the pole position for the Daytona 500. While obtaining the pole position in a NASCAR race does not solidify one’s chances of actually winning the race, being the pole car is a nice spot for a racer to find herself. Given the historical news of Patrick’s pole position for the Daytona 500, NASCAR, Patrick and her endorsers have much to cheer about. Since Patrick was awarded the pole position on February 17, all three have seen increases in their business opportunities. When it comes to athlete endorsements, Patrick’s unique status as being female and one of the world’s top racers has opened up many doors for her. Couple those factors with her glaring good looks, and corporations see someone who can open doors for them like nobody else in the sports world. This is apparent when considering the depths of Patrick’s endorsements. Apart from her racing team, Patrick has 15 personal endorsement partners. These partners range from expected racing corporations like Alpinestars and Schuberth to popular nail polish company OPI Nail Lacquer and Justin Timberlake‘s clothing company, William Rast. Like many things in her life, Patrick’s collection of endorsement deals was strategic. In 2009, Patrick made what at the time was considered a bold move, by signing with IMG to represent both her contract and endorsement negotiations. Arguably, this jump paid off as she’s been able to collect a large number of broad endorsement deals. These endorsement deals have lifted Patrick to being an athlete that 40 percent of the U.S. population is aware of, according to The Nielsen Company. American awareness of Patrick is comparable to that of Michael Phelps and Troy Aikman. More Americans know who Patrick is than those who know of Alex Rodriguez or Aaron Rodgers. One of the first sponsors who was struck by Patrick’s appeal was Go Daddy. Like many endorsers who may be attracted to Patrick by the historical ground she is breaking today, Go Daddy was attracted to Patrick for her ability to make history. According to Go Daddy‘s senior executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Barb Rechterman, “Go Daddy executive chairman and founder Bob Parsons was watching the Indianapolis 500 when Danica Patrick became the first woman to lead for 19 laps in 2005. Bob was immediately drawn to Danica. He slipped me a note about how we needed to sign her as a spokeswoman for Go Daddy, and the rest, as they say, is history.” Working with Patrick and her agent in 2006 to sign her for the 2007 IndyCar Series season, Go Daddy and Patrick have in a sense, grown up together as brands. “Our brands have really grown together. We signed Danica in 2006 for the 2007 season. Since that time, she became the first woman to win an IndyCar race …read more
