Learn to paint outstanding fashion watercolors with expert guidance
from a leading fashion illustrator. Watercolor is a wonderful
medium for figure and fashion as it creates loose, impressionistic
results that capture the essence of a look without getting too
bogged down in the details. In this complete course, professional
fashion illustrator Francesco Lo Iacono shows you how to master
creating delicate, beautiful fashion illustrations. The book begins
with the best tools and materials, from paints and brushes to
pencils, paper and more. You'll then explore simple watercolor
techniques such as washes, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and using the
white of the paper. Francesco then goes on to teach you about
lighting and shading, which can have a dramatic effect on your
work. And finally in the front section, you'll learn about colour,
how to create palettes, how to mix colours and achieving a range of
skin tones. Once you've covered these fundamentals, Francesco
explores the key elements of illustrating fashion, with guidance on
how to approach both male and female faces, a wide variety of hair
types and styles, different male and female poses, and how to draw
and paint garments, reflecting tailoring, drapery, volume, texture
and patterns. Twenty step-by-step projects then take these building
blocks and show you how to use them to create beautiful fashion
watercolors, starting with easier subjects and building in
complexity as your confidence grows. You'll begin by painting
handbags and shoes without models before starting to introduce
figures. The range of subjects included covers all angles, from
full figures front on and in profile to close-up make-up and beauty
illustrations. You'll also learn how to create dynamic compositions
for editorial fashion illustration. Finally, Francesco covers the
best ways to digitize and retouch your work, how to incorporate
other media alongside your watercolors, how to work live at fashion
events and how to take everything you've learned to develop your
own personal style of fashion illustration. Francesco's clients
include fashion brands Dior, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton - and with
this book you'll have all the tools you need to become an A-list
fashion illustrator too.

Kevin Tancharoen directs this updated version of Alan Parker's
phenomenally successful 1980 musical. The story centres on a group
of highly talented students at the New York Academy of Performing
Arts as they prepare for professional careers in dance, music and
drama, while also undergoing a full programme of academic learning
and dealing with the ups and downs of life and love. As each
student strives for his or her moment in the spotlight, they will
discover who among them has what it takes to succeed and finally
achieve the fame they crave.
The History and Theory of Fetishism, the expanded version of
Iacono's enduring classic Teorie del feticismo and available for
the first time in English, aims to provide the historical context
necessary to understanding the concept of "fetishism" and offers an
overview of the ideologies, prejudices, and critical senses that
shaped the Western observer's view of otherness and of his own
world. Iacono examines the moment when the Western observer turned
his colonizing and evangelizing gaze to continents such as Africa
and the Americas, while attempting to simultaneously destabilize
and look at his own world critically.
Over the last forty years, Cousin Sal has made bets with doctors,
lawyers, teachers, agents, bookies, writers, comedians, radio DJs,
tv producers, baseball players, front office executives,
bandleaders, movie stars, publicists, weed lab owners, hedge fund
operators, and even professional wrestlers. From his early days
growing up in Brooklyn and Long Island flipping baseball cards to
now hosting podcasts and TV shows and managing several offshore
accounts we don't talk about, Cousin Sal has truly become the
average American sports fan's go to source for gambling tips. So
here's how not to do it . . . With hilarious tales of love and
loss, winning and (a lot) of losing, crazy family and fatherhood,
and a life saga that inspired the Phil Collins' song, "Against All
Odds," Cousin Sal has now written THE Vegas super-system,
MIT-algorithmic, sharp-approved book for how to gamble like a pro
-- or at least not how not to go broke and lose your kids to Child
Protective Services.

divided into three sections, each one focusing on a specific theme:
organizational change, innovation and information and communication
technologies; organizational control, accounting and information
systems; information, knowledge and project management practices.
The book is based on a selection of the best research papers -
original double blind peer reviewed contributions of the annual

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th European
Workshop on Computer Performance Engineering, EPEW 2021, and the
26th International Conference, on Analytical and Stochastic
Modelling Techniques and Applications, ASMTA 2021, held in December
2021. The conference was held virtually due to COVID 19 pandemic.
The 29 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and
selected from 39 submissions. The papers presented at the workshop
reflect the diversity of modern performance evaluation, with topics
ranging from modeling and analysis of network/control protocols and
high performance/big data information systems, analysis of
scheduling, blockchain technology, analytical modeling and
simulation of computer and network systems.
This classic text in Italian history of political philosophy,
translated into English for the first time, investigates the
philosophical and ideological conceptions hidden beneath the modern
image of the isolated individual. In The Bourgeois and the Savage,
Alfonso Maurizio Iacono reveals that this apparently simple and
transparent image is imbued with a profound complexity containing
human and social relationships, which are intertwined with
relationships of power, domination, inequality, colonisation and
servitude. As Karl Marx argued, and as was later confirmed by
twentieth-century anthropology, the isolated individual does not
stand at the beginning of history; he can emerge only where social
relationships are already very developed and where society appears
as a tool used for private purposes. Considering the writings of
Daniel Defoe, the great French Enlightenment philosopher Turgot,
and the father of political economy Adam Smith, The Bourgeois and
the Savage critically analyses the process which led to the
naturalisation of the image of the isolated man and traces its
development and transformation into a still dominant paradigm.
This volume collects contributions from speakers at the INdAM
Workshop "Birational Geometry and Moduli Spaces", which was held in
Rome on 11-15 June 2018. The workshop was devoted to the interplay
between birational geometry and moduli spaces and the contributions
of the volume reflect the same idea, focusing on both these areas
and their interaction. In particular, the book includes both
surveys and original papers on irreducible holomorphic symplectic
manifolds, Severi varieties, degenerations of Calabi-Yau varieties,
uniruled threefolds, toric Fano threefolds, mirror symmetry,
canonical bundle formula, the Lefschetz principle, birational
transformations, and deformations of diagrams of algebras. The
intention is to disseminate the knowledge of advanced results and
key techniques used to solve open problems. The book is intended
for all advanced graduate students and researchers interested in
the new research frontiers of birational geometry and moduli
spaces.

Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most frequent primary neoplasm
of the liver and its incidence is increasing in Western countries.
These neoplasms arise from the biliary tract and can be categorized
according to their anatomical location as intrahepatic and
extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. The prognosis of these neoplasms
is poor and most patients are not suitable for curative resection
at the time of diagnosis, due to advanced stage of tumor. Complete
surgical resection still remains the only effective and potentially
curative therapy. Both intrahepatic and hilar cholangiocarcinoma
often requires major liver resection to obtain a radical treatment.
In recent years the improvements in non- invasive diagnostic
imaging modalities, a better understanding of liver anatomy, the
improvements of preoperative optimisation of liver function
(preoperative biliary drainage, portal vein embolization), the
increased safety of liver surgery have gradually improved the
outcome. Moreover, aggressive surgical approach could increase
curative surgery. Still now the role of adjunvant therapies and
liver transplantation are not well clarified.
This book contains an up-to-date review of diagnostic and
staging tools of cholangiocarcinoma, a guide to optimal selection
of therapeutic modalities and a review of long-term outcome of
surgery and liver transplantation. Moreover, it provides details of
surgical techniques and principles for curative and palliative
surgery.
This book will appeal to physicians and hepatobiliary surgeons
who want to improve their knowledge about surgical management of
intrahepatic and hilar cholangiocarcinomas.
The subject of writing and receiving letters, which recurs
frequently in the work of Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), is given
dramatic tension in this masterful painting of two women in a
mysterious moment of crisis. The artist seldom, if ever, surpassed
the subtly varied effects of light seen here as it gleams from the
pearl jewellery, sparkles from the glass and silver objects on the
table, and falls softly over the figures in their shadowy setting.
The Frick Diptych series sparks a dialogue between creative spirits
and art historians, promising new insights into some of the Frick's
most famous masterpieces. The third volume, to be published in
2019, will have a contribution by author Edmund de Waal on a pair
of porcelain and bronze candlesticks by the 18th-century French
metalworker Pierre Gouthiere.
This book examines the role of trust in public life. It seeks to
contribute to a more nuanced understanding of certain fundamental
concepts in political and legal theory, such as the concepts of
authority, power, social practice, the rule of law, and justice by
furnishing and sharpening our concepts of trust and
trustworthiness. Bringing together contributors from across the
social, cognitive, historical, and political sciences, the book
opens up inquiries into central concepts in legal theory as well as
new approaches and methodologies. The interdisciplinary
contributions analyse the notions of trust, trustworthiness, and
distrust and apply them to address a variety of problems and
questions.
