Voici l’histoire des origines de la Fondation canadienne pour l’innovation, un organisme tourné vers l’avenir qui est né à une époque où le pays portait le poids d’un lourd passé. Ce balado donne la parole à Carmen Charette, à Denis Gagnon et à Robert Giroux, trois artisans de la création de la FCI. Ils nous offrent une perspective unique et relatent comment le Canada est parvenu à transformer sa capacité de recherche. Il y a vingt ans, le gouvernement du Canada s’efforçait de contenir un déficit qui, selon un important responsable financier, menait le pays tout droit vers une catastrophe économique. Et pourtant, c’est à ce moment que le gouvernement a décidé de faire des investissements historiques dans l’infrastructure de recherche. La création de la Fondation canadienne pour l’innovation est venue changer la donne de la recherche au Canada. Mais comment a-t-elle vue le jour?  

Hosts Catherine Nichols and Sandra Newman discuss the novel Nightwood, focusing in this episode on the extraordinary life and career of its author, Djuna Barnes, who lived among the most extreme personalities of 1920s Paris and was celebrated as one of Modernism's great writers, but then withdrew into total seclusion for the last 40 years of her life. For some background on this episode, here's Robert Giroux reminiscing about the experience of being Barnes's publisher: https://www.nytimes.com/1985/12/01/books/the-most-famous-unknown-in-the-world-remembering-djuna-barnes.html. And here's a very rare recording of Barnes herself, reading from her play "The Antiphon" (with really abysmal sound quality and a lot of setting up, but somehow that feels like part of the Barnes experience): https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2016/05/12/greenwich-village-1971/

Today on the Photo Apps Podcast, getting model releases may not be fun, but they sure are important. And with Easy Release, they are definitely easy. 

 EASY RELEASE Property and model releases are critical for any type of commercial work, including advertising, marketing or even stock photography — and potentially even for using the photo on your own website! Getting a release created and signed, then delivered to the model or property owner or client or agency can be a lot of steps that are too easily overlooked. And unfortunately if you don’t get the release, then you didn't really get the shot — because you won’t be able to use it. The iOS and Android app Easy Release makes this, well, easy. In just a few taps, you can generate legal model and property releases, in multiple languages, which are accepted by the biggest stock agencies, and have your models sign on the spot, right on your handheld device. Join me and Robert Giroux, the creator of Easy Release, to learn all about it.
