Is it normal procedure to get your portfolio done by yourself before starting in a modelling agency?

Posted on May 18, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I’ve been contacted by a modelling agency recently. They are doing a training day at the end of the month (it will involve ethics about the company, make up, hair etc) and it costs €65. They have said it’s essential to get this done for “trainee models”. I’ve been told that I then need to go get my own professional pictures done and they will then put me on their books and contact me if anything arrises. Is this a normal procedure? I assumed that you get more pictures done with the more work you have done and pay for it out of the money you earn from modelling. Not have all your pic’s taken before you even start off. Can anybody help me with this? It’s an Irish based modelling agency.

Can Israelis of Ethiopian origin train Rwandans?

Posted on May 13, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

It has been claimed that Ethiopian Israelis have provided training for a Rwandan youth village.

It has been claimed that a delegation of Rwandan education officials recently spent a week in Israel learning how to set up a youth village for the multitudes of children who were left orphans by the horrific 1994 genocide.

Their model? The Yemin Orde Youth Village – which has raised thousands of Israeli children of Ethiopian origin, who suffered through similar stories of parent separation, trauma and displacement. And in a triumphant circle, some of those Israelis – now skilled adults – will soon be traveling to Rwanda to help set up and run the Agahozo Shalom Youth Village

Is this factual?
Jim W is wrong.

The standard Jewish religious decisors have ruled that the Ethiopian who regard themselves as Jewish are indeed Jewish.

It is a bit difficult to integrate these Jews into Israeli society, but they are becoming integrated.

Now just imagine trying to integrate Jews into “Palestinian” society. They would be murdered by the Arabs at the very first opportunity.

Do Vulcan cannons suffer from stoppages?

Posted on April 6, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

Do high-tech machine guns, such as Vulcan cannons, suffer from stoppages? I’m just back from live-fire training today, firing a 7.62mm machine gun (an old model, but still used by some countries). Encountered a lot of stoppages, in which case I had to manually clear the chamber. Gave me a hard time. The question is, if a 7.62mm machine gun fires approximately 1,000 rounds per minute and is prone to jamming, what happens to the 30mm GAU-8 cannon, for example, which has a rate of fire of 4,000 rounds per minute?
For the answerers’ benefit… the gun I fired was the boxy-looking M240.

Does anyone knows about John Robert Powers, talent agency, and their techniques to scout for young talent?

Posted on April 4, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

I took my daughter in Miami for a “so called” audition for major TV/modeling relating to Disney and Nickelodeon. We attended a presentation where this tallent scouts , one of them from California explained the incredible jump into the “celebrity life stile our families could access if our kids ended up selected for the casting. The kids did a camera test, I was told in particular that my daughter looked very interesting for print work and possible for starting couchig training in singing ( she never sang to them). What sounded fishy for me was the very intense remarkes they made as of making hte kids earn 15 grands a week, suddenly driving a hummer and moving to a mansion in beverly hills ( those were the promises, and of course that made the kids very interested) A brochure was given to us a s informative, there was a list of training and prices the least expensive was 2,000 for several weeks…. for more info type john robert powers in yahoo search…sounds like scam to me.
