Описание: In the later part of his life, wheelchair-bound and unable to fully take care of himself, Henri Matisse began to experiment with collage and paper cutouts as a way of continuing to make art. Sometimes representational and sometimes abstract, his bold, simple shapes became iconic of his style, and his collages remain some of his best-loved work. In Ana Bianchi's latest children's book - part biographical vignette, part activity guide - kids will read first of Matisse's life and the circumstances that led to his paper cut-outs, then get a step-by-step guide to creating their own Matisse-style collages. Bianchi's versatile illustrations capture the fierce color and compositional nuances of Matisse's work, and her simple, engaging text teaches useful art terms like composition, palette, crop and sketch while outlining the artist's methods in a way that's sure to inspire young artists to create their own collage masterpieces.
The study of heavy-tailed distributions allows researchers to represent phenomena that occasionally exhibit very large deviations from the mean. The dynamics underlying these phenomena is an interesting theoretical subject, but the study of their statistical properties is in itself a very useful endeavor from the point of view of managing assets and controlling risk. In this book, the authors are primarily concerned with the statistical properties of heavy-tailed distributions and with the processes that exhibit jumps. A detailed overview with a Matlab implementation of heavy-tailed models applied in asset management and risk managements is presented. The book is not intended as a theoretical treatise on probability or statistics, but as a tool to understand the main concepts regarding heavy-tailed random variables and processes as applied to real-world applications in finance. Accordingly, the authors review approaches and methodologies whose realization will be useful for developing new methods for forecasting of financial variables where extreme events are not treated as anomalies, but as intrinsic parts of the economic process.

Описание: Welcome to the House Of Fear Here you will find scripts originally created for the THEATRE OF IMAGINATION...or, LIVE AUDIO THEATRE stage productions as presented by the NYC Performance Group RADIOTHEATRE. Now, RadioTheatre offers these easy-to-read, easy-to-produce scripts to others who want to produce a unique style of Theatre presentation...as well as, unique content found in the genres of HORROR, SCIENCE FICTION and WEIRD fiction. However, these specially formatted scripts may also be produced as RECORDED WORKS, RADIO BROADCASTS ...or, they may even be used as the basis for FILM and TV presentations. Though most of these scripts have been created to blend both story-telling and cinematic styles requiring recorded SOUND DESIGN, MUSIC CUES and voices on MICROPHONES...in which there are no props, no sets, no costumes...some stories may be adapted to fit TRADITIONAL PLAY format.These are stories containing characters, plots and action you won't find in traditional theatre: mad scientists, giant man eating plants, werewolves, vampires, ghosts and intergalactic invasions....King Kong smashing Radio City Music Hall and climbing the Empire State Building...from the battlefields of war to the internal voice of a man going insane...from a poignant story of a woman waiting for her husband to die...to a screaming skull haunting the new resident of a haunted house Turn the lights down low and turn on your imaginations to fill in the visuals. Many of the longer stories are classic works of world fiction: THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, THE TIME MACHINE, THE ISLAND OF DR.MOREAU, KING KONG, as well as, famous short works from an earlier time by H.G.Wells, Bram Stoker, H.P.Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Robert E.Howard...or, not so famous works by long ignored giants of macabre literature, such as, Algernon Blackwood, Edith Nesbit, F.Marion Crawford, etc. Basically, these are tales to be told in near darkness. The scripts require not just great actors, but, great STORY TELLERS. This role is often listed in a cast as NARRATOR. Sometimes, it may be left to the Director's discretion to cast the NARRATOR as either male or female. The story may also require actors to play multiple characters...or, a Director may choose to cast many actors to play these roles. Minor roles may also be recast as either sex. All scripts are expertly crafted for presentation by DAN BIANCHI, Artistic Director and Founder of NYC's award-winning, critically acclaimed Radiotheatre. He has worked over 40 years as writer/director in stage and film media, and, to date, he's the most produced stage writer in NYC. In most cases, the archaic language of 19th Century works has been updated, but, Mr.Bianchi has tried to retain the author's original artistic intention and creation. Characters' names, locations, etc. may be changed. Plots may be condensed, endings may be changed, etc. Remember...the original story was intended to be read as literature and not intended to be presented in a different medium using 21st Century technology. In every case, it is Mr.Bianchi's primary goal to deliver a great story filled with optimal sound design as a most important part of the production. SOUND DESIGN: Sound effects and dramatic music is an integral part of these stories, as necessary as the actors. Scripts contain some, but, not all, printed sound/music cues necessary to make easier reading. Directors may wish to add or change cues. If you do NOT wish to create your own sound design, but, instead wish to purchase pre-recorded cues and music, please contact radiotheatrenyc@aol.com.
The first English-language study of Aristotle’s natural philosophy from a continental perspective, the Feminine Symptom takes as its starting point the problem of female offspring. If form is transmitted by the male and the female provides only matter, how is a female child produced? Aristotle answers that there must be some fault or misstep in the process. This inexplicable but necessary coincidence—sumptoma in Greek—defines the feminine symptom. Departing from the standard associations of male-activity-form and female-passivity-matter, Bianchi traces the operation of chance and spontaneity throughout Aristotle’s biology, physics, cosmology, and metaphysics and argues that it is not passive but aleatory matter— unpredictable, ungovernable, and acting against nature and teleology—that he continually allies with the feminine. Aristotle’s pervasive disparagement of the female as a mild form of monstrosity thus works to shore up his polemic against the aleatory and to consolidate patriarchal teleology in the face of atomism and Empedocleanism. Bianchi concludes by connecting her analysis to recent biological and materialist political thinking, and makes the case for a new, antiessentialist politics of aleatory feminism.

Описание: Elegant People is the definitive history of Weather Report, the premier fusion band of the 1970s and beyond. Founded in late 1970 by three stars of the jazz world--keyboardist Joe Zawinul, saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and bassist Miroslav Vitous--Weather Report went on to become the most unique and enduring jazz band of its era, with a style of music wholly its own. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of Weather Report's first album release, comes Elegant People: A History of the Band Weather Report, the first book to tell the band's story in detail. Based on years of research and dozens of interviews with musicians, engineers, managers, and support personnel, Elegant People is written from an insider's perspective, describing Weather Report's transformation from a freewheeling, avant-garde jazz band whose ethos was We always solo and we never solo to a grooving juggernaut that combined elements of jazz, funk, Latin, and rhythm and blues. Fueled by Zawinul's hit tune Birdland and the charismatic stage presence of legendary electric bass player Jaco Pastorius, Weather Report took on the aura of rock stars. By the time Zawinul and Shorter mutually agreed to part ways in 1986, Weather Report had produced sixteen albums, a body of work that ranks among the most significant in jazz and continues to resonate with musicians and fans today.
