Digital casting. History Though early versions of digital casting platforms began to appear in the late 1990s, the 'revolution' in casting didn't engage until after the start of the 21st Century when audio and video technology improved for general on-line users through open systems and digital recording devices such as cameras and mobile phone image capture technology became widely available and affordable. Advances in uploading speed, image and digital transmitting technology, along with casting specific technology including Cast It Systems and Casting Frontier's iSession applications encouraged the growth and use of online casting from both amateur and professional talent.

Digital casting. History In 2008, as a reaction to the arrival of digital casting platforms, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) launched a free and dedicated system called iActor, which was the first union-hosted online casting directory featuring onsite Station 12 cast clearance. While iActor was exclusively available to SAG members, it also enabled AFTRA talent to create profiles.

Immigration to Ukraine
Immigration to Ukraine. Immigration into Ukraine (postindependence (1991)) has been mainly ethnic Ukrainians already living in nearby countries (for example in 1993 they were 90% of all immigrants); other immigrants were mostly Crimean Tatars and people fleeing wars in Azerbaijan, Transnistria and Chechnya (a region in Russia). In January 2017 there were 3,302 foreigners with refugee status in Ukraine. Most refugees came from Afghanistan, Syria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia and Somalia.

Asymmetric negotiation
Asymmetric negotiation. Asymmetric negotiation is an influence that occurs between counterparts of significantly different sizes as measured by the parties’ relative resources and clout in a particular context. The context for these negotiations or conflicts can range from mergers & acquisitions and international trade deals, to hostage-takings and initiating change at a local school board.

Asymmetric negotiation. A larger party in one context can be a smaller party in another. For instance, a US corporation may be a much larger buyer in an asymmetric negotiation with a North American supplier, while reduced to being a relatively small player overseas in negotiations with the European Union where it has fewer resources and less clout.

Asymmetric negotiation
Asymmetric negotiation. History Given the growing number of large corporations and government entities worldwide, and the corresponding growth in asymmetric negotiations, this phenomenon has received increasing attention in recent decades, with numerous journalists and academics addressing the subject in articles and journals. International negotiator Peter D. Johnston’s book Negotiating with Giants provides an in-depth survey of “size-imbalanced” negotiations. In this 2008 book, Johnston studied more than 100 negotiations from across history to the present day, where smaller players got what they wanted from much larger players, with the author identifying unique strategies that worked for these “Davids” in their negotiations with wide-ranging giants or “Goliaths.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric%20negotiation
Asymmetric negotiation
Asymmetric negotiation. Asymmetric strategies for smaller players According to Johnston, successful smaller players should change the game on their larger counterparts by using seven distinct approaches given the unique challenges they face in asymmetric negotiations: They should defend themselves from the start, earlier than one might normally expect, including defenses for their reputations, ideas and information to ensure that hurting them won't be as easy as it could be otherwise. They should negotiate away from the negotiation table as long as possible to even the playing field with larger counterparts, making themselves bigger and stronger before meeting face-to-face—if and only if that is ever required. They should draw on seven different types of “helpers” that smaller players across history have employed to their benefit: Decision-makers, Influencers, Arm-Twisters, Networkers, Allies, Counselors and Informants. They should find rules and laws to undermine larger players, join them to weaken them from the inside, or remove key assets that contribute to their strengths. They should act unilaterally and unpredictably when it meets their interests, using their smaller size to react swiftly and catch their giants flat-footed, often by pursuing their back-up plans. They should weave together their different negotiations and operating decisions to maximize value in any single negotiation, a strategy referred to by the author as "integrated negotiation". They should think differently about building rapport and trust, focusing on positives that connect them to their giants, modeling desired behaviors, building trust incrementally, and redefining trust by knowing that they can always trust larger players will act consistent with what they perceive to be in their own best interests.

Asymmetric negotiation. Historical examples Magna Carta, the Barons and King John. In 1215, Magna Carta, Europe’s first written constitution guaranteeing basic rights for citizens, was agreed to by King John, but only after the land-owning Barons weakened the Monarch by claiming London as their own. The Barons would only relinquish control of the city once they saw that the Crown had followed through on its commitments related to Magna Carta. Harriet Beecher Stowe and the abolition of slavery in the United States. As a housewife and abolitionist in 1851, Stowe wrote the novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, drawing attention to the evils of slavery. The book, second only to the Bible in worldwide readership by the end of the 1800s, helped forge a broad coalition of abolitionists, enabling Stowe to influence the creation of the Republican Party, the choice of Abraham Lincoln as president, and ultimately, the end of slavery in the United States. Rachel Carson and the environmental movement. In the 1950s, the scientist uncovered troubling links between bird deaths and pesticides, soon linking cancer to chemical usage and building a coalition of environmentalists through her non-fiction bestselling book, Silent Spring. Her influence helped lead to the banning of DDT, the establishment of America’s Environmental Protection Agency, and the early development of the environmental movement itself.

Asymmetric negotiation
Asymmetric negotiation. Contemporary examples The 1989 Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the United States. Rather than continuing to negotiate a series of smaller bilateral trade deals by sector, Canada at one-tenth the size of America, reached a wide-ranging trade agreement. The deal was large enough to attract the attention of its southern neighbor, while valuable enough to the Americans to ensure Canada could also negotiate important protections for its culture, healthcare and education. Friends, Warner Brothers, and Courteney Cox. When the Friends television show quickly became a sensation in the mid-1990s, Cox (Monica), the highest profile member of the cast at the time, could have easily commanded the largest salary increase for herself. Instead, she rallied David Schwimmer (Ross) and their other four main cast members into a coalition to negotiate as one with more collective clout. This led to the same immediate financial gains for each actor, culminating in each actor being paid $1 million per episode by the end of the show’s run in 2004. Ashley Smith and hostage-taker Brian Nichols. In March 2005, Smith was taken hostage by Nichols in her Atlanta apartment, and managed in fewer than eight hours to build rapport, trust and mutual understanding with the armed killer, reading excerpts from The Purpose-Driven Life and the Bible, before he let her go unscathed. She was later one of the key witnesses against Nichols, who was found guilty of a range of crimes and sentenced to multiple life sentences.

Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons Art of the In-Between. Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons Art of the In-Between was an art exhibition about the work of fashion designer Rei Kawakubo and her designs for her fashion house, Comme des Garçons. The exhibition ran from May 4 to September 4, 2017 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was curated by Andrew Bolton, who worked closely with Kawakubo to select works for the exhibition. On display were 140 women's costumes spanning the entirety of her career until 2017. This exhibit represents Kawakubo in an immersive world of Gesamtkunstwerk, "total work of art".

Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons Art of the In-Between. Background In an interview with Vogue, Bolton stated that he chose to curate an exhibition of Rei Kawakubo's work because "just look at the clothes. They speak for themselves." It took Bolton one year to complete the exhibition, "displaying 140 of Kawakubo’s designs for Comme des Garçons from the early Eighties to her fall 2017 “The Future of Silhouette” collection". Both Bolton and Kawakubo have stated that the exhibition is not a retrospective of Kawakubo's work, but an exploration of "the in-betweeness" of her high fashion women's wear. It was the first Costume Institute exhibition about a living artist since their 1983 exhibition about Yves Saint Laurent. Kawakubo had originally suggested that the exhibition showcase only works from her most recent, seven collections and that it should have been called "The Art of the Modernist."

The second part is devoted to works from 2015 until 2017. The exhibition did not feature works from the 1970s nor the Curiosity (2007) collection at the request of the artist. Featuring one of her most recent collections, the garments were shown with heads and wigs. Julein d'Ys, who is also Rei Kawakubo's hairstylist, styled and created these wigs. Throughout the exhibition, Kawakubo utilizes hardware, plastic materials, harnesses, and fastenings. This is seen especially in her punk-inspired Adult Delinquiet collection.

Interviewed soon afterwards, the player assessed his strengths as speed and heading, and felt he needed to improve his technical ability. He was a member of the Birmingham team that eliminated Liverpool's youngsters from the 2014–15 FA Youth Cup, going on to lose in the quarter-finals to Leicester City's youngsters. He was a regular in the development squad over the season, and scored the opening goal for the team that won the 2015 Birmingham Senior Cup final. Harding signed his first professional contract, of two years, in May 2015. At the time, academy coach Steve Spooner summarised him as "a 24/7 professional footballer ... strong, aggressive, tenacious and much improved with the ball".

He was one of three youngstersthe others were Dom Bernard and Josh Dacres-Cogleywho began their 2016 pre-season training with the first team. On 9 August, Harding joined National League North club Alfreton Town on a month's youth loan. He went straight into the starting eleven for the following day's match against Gainsborough Trinity; playing at right back, he played 90 minutes and produced what Alfreton's website dubbed a solid performance in a 4–0 win. He kept his place for the next two fixtures, but then suffered a torn knee meniscus. Once he regained fitness, he finished the season with more appearances than any other player for Birmingham's under-23 team, which he often captained.

He was given a squad number, and was an unused substitute for the opening match, away to Ipswich Town in the Championship on 5 August 2017. Harding made his senior debut three days later, replacing Emilio Nsue after 58 minutes of the EFL Cup first round match at home to Crawley Town of League Two. The score was 4–0 when he entered the match; it ended 5–1. He also appeared in the next round, replacing the injured Nsue after 23 minutes of the 2–1 defeat to AFC Bournemouth and producing a performance that pleased manager Harry Redknapp. In February 2018, having made no appearances in the matchday squad since August, Harding signed a new contract to run until June 2020.

Club career New manager Garry Monk gave Harding his first Football League appearance, a start at right back in Birmingham's 3–0 home victory over Hull City on 17 March 2018 that was their first win in six weeks. He was booked early in the match for a forceful tackle on the highly rated Harry Wilson, then, according to the Birmingham Mail, "shut him down in the second half and made some excellent defensive contributions to help out team-mates. There were a couple of bright moments going forward too." Monk said he selected Harding ahead of more experienced players such as Carl Jenkinson or Marc Roberts because his pace and tenacity would better counteract the threat from Hull's wingers. He continued in the starting eleven as Birmingham escaped relegation on the final day of the season, with a 3–1 win at home to Fulham. Defensively, he allowed Ryan Sessegnon, the Championship Player of the Year, little scope to influence the game, and he made a run and cross from which Lukas Jutkiewicz scored the opening goal. Harding's performance in that match earned him a place in the EFL Team of the Week, and his overall performance earned him the club's Young Player of the Season award.

He was a regular off the bench in the first few months of the season, but did not start until late November away to Aston Villa, playing behind regular left-back Kristian Pedersen who was selected on the wing. The experiment was not a success, but when Harding had to replace the injured Robertswho was himself only in the side because Michael Morrison was injuredearly in the visit to Blackburn Rovers three weeks later, "[having] never played a senior league match at centre half", he performed well. He started more regularly during the second half of the season, mainly at right back, and finished the campaign with 27 league appearances, of which 13 were in the starting eleven. In the 2019–20 season, Birmingham's full backs, Maxime Colin and Pedersen, missed only two league matches apiece, and loanee Jake Clarke-Salter became backup of choice in central defence. Harding was again a regular on the substitutes' bench, but came off it rather less frequently: he finished the season with 15 league appearances, of 7 were as a starter.
