Book excerpt: 2022 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence Longlist Selection A Best Book of 2021 by Chicago Tribune, People, Real Simple, The Washington Post, and Time The extraordinary story of one woman's ten-year medical and metaphysical odyssey that brought her physical, creative, emotional, and spiritual healing, by a MacArthur genius and two-time Pulitzer finalist. With a play opening on Broadway, and every reason to smile, Sarah Ruhl has just survived a high-risk pregnancy when she discovers the left side of her face is completely paralyzed. She is assured that 90 percent of Bell's palsy patients see spontaneous improvement and experience a full recovery. Like Ruhl's own mother. But Sarah is in the unlucky ten percent. And for a woman, wife, mother, and artist working in theater, the paralysis and the disconnect between the interior and exterior brings significant and specific challenges. So Ruhl begins an intense decade-long search for a cure while simultaneously grappling with the reality of her new face--one that, while recognizably her own--is incapable of accurately communicating feelings or intentions. In a series of piercing, witty, and lucid meditations, Ruhl chronicles her journey as a patient, wife, mother, and artist. She explores the struggle of a body yearning to match its inner landscape, the pain of postpartum depression, the story of a marriage, being a playwright and working mom to three small children, and the desire for a resilient spiritual life in the face of illness. Brimming with insight, humility, and levity, Smile is a triumph by one of America's leading playwrights. It is an intimate examination of loss and reconciliation, and above all else, the importance of perseverance and hope in the face of adversity.

However the Israeli people never stopped living, loving, singing, dancing, laughing and smiling! Guy soon realized the power of existence, success and love. A smile! It will change the way you choose to live your life. It is easy to be bitter, angry, and vengeful -- but a smile helps you recover, regenerate, overcome, and live! Guy was an obese child. He was often singled out and ridiculed for his size. He soon learned to win his peers over by making them laugh with him and not at him. He discovered how a simple smile and a positive demeanor can have a ripple effect of unprecedented proportions. Guy Bavli believes that a smile can create a profound positive change, in oneself and in our community. It can relieve one of sadness, open doors to opportunities, and sometimes even cure or prevent sickness. A smile a day can truly keep the doctor away, as it chemically changes our composition and lowers our stress levels. A smile has the power to single-handedly change perception--getting us the job of our dreams and finding the love of our life. It changes us for the better. We can carry it with us everywhere we go and it is FREE! Guy Bavli has dedicated his life showing the world the power of our mind. A world-renowned mentalist, Guy has a real dedication for demonstrating how we all hold the power. Guy Bavli shares his passion for the smile in a candid, genuine and love-for-life voice, while backing it up with sound research and scientific studies. SMILE FOR A CHANGE will leave you in awe of your smile and empowered like never before.

This book was released on 2009-10-03 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the applications of Fourier transform to smile modeling. Smile effect is used generically by ?nancial engineers and risk managers to refer to the inconsistences of quoted implied volatilities in ?nancial markets, or more mat- matically, to the leptokurtic distributions of ?nancial assets and indices. Therefore, a sound modeling of smile effect is the central challenge in quantitative ?nance. Since more than one decade, Fourier transform has triggered a technical revolution in option pricing theory. Almost all new developed option pricing models, es- cially in connection with stochastic volatility and random jump, have extensively applied Fourier transform and the corresponding inverse transform to express - tion pricing formulas. The large accommodation of the Fourier transform allows for a very convenient modeling with a general class of stochastic processes and d- tributions. This book is then intended to present a comprehensive treatment of the Fourier transform in the option valuation, covering the most stochastic factors such as stochastic volatilities and interest rates, Poisson and Levy ́ jumps, including some asset classes such as equity, FX and interest rates, and providing numerical ex- ples and prototype programming codes. I hope that readers will bene?t from this book not only by gaining an overview of the advanced theory and the vast large l- erature on these topics, but also by gaining a ?rst-hand feedback from the practice on the applications and implementations of the theory.

Book excerpt: You could be forgiven for thinking that the smile has no history; it has always been the same. However, just as different cultures in our own day have different rules about smiling, so did different societies in the past. In fact, amazing as it might seem, it was only in late eighteenth century France that western civilization discovered the art of the smile. In the 'Old Regime of Teeth' which prevailed in western Europe until then, smiling was quite literally frowned upon. Individuals were fatalistic about tooth loss, and their open mouths would often have been visually repulsive. Rules of conduct dating back to Antiquity disapproved of the opening of the mouth to express feelings in most social situations. Open and unrestrained smiling was associated with the impolite lower orders. In late eighteenth-century Paris, however, these age-old conventions changed, reflecting broader transformations in the way people expressed their feelings. This allowed the emergence of the modern smile par excellence: the open-mouthed smile which, while highlighting physical beauty and expressing individual identity, revealed white teeth. It was a transformation linked to changing patterns of politeness, new ideals of sensibility, shifts in styles of self-presentation - and, not least, the emergence of scientific dentistry. These changes seemed to usher in a revolution, a revolution in smiling. Yet if the French revolutionaries initially went about their business with a smile on their faces, the Reign of Terror soon wiped it off. Only in the twentieth century would the white-tooth smile re-emerge as an accepted model of self-presentation. In this entertaining, absorbing, and highly original work of cultural history, Colin Jones ranges from the history of art, literature, and culture to the history of science, medicine, and dentistry, to tell a unique and untold story about a facial expression at the heart of western civilization.

Book excerpt: As children, many of us have had dreams and aspirations of what we hoped to achieve in our future. But for some of us, we only hoped that our tortured lives are nothing but a mere dream. However, for Kelly Anderson, this hope is too much to ask because her nightmares are indeed real. As long as she can remember, Kelly had been surrounded by violence and dysfunction. Having a mother who was emotionally unavailable and a father who was a violent alcoholic, it is no wonder Kelly felt abandoned and alone the first time she was raped. But Kelly would soon learn that her only escape from her torture is by death. This is the true story, based on actual events, of a child's struggle to cope with the pain and confusion of physical and sexual abuse. In this disturbing story, you will experience life through the eyes of the victims as well as the victimizers. You will follow Kelly's quest to find love, freedom and serenity amid so much turmoil. You will feel Kelly's pain and understand what really lies beneath: THE TORTURED SMILE

A small boy has saved all his pocket money, and today's the day he'll buy something special just for himself! There's lots to see and smell at the market, from tasty pies to colorful toys and noisy instruments. But before he can even make up his mind, disaster strikes, and he loses his money down a drain. Oh no! But wait, what's this? A store called the Smile Shop? Could he buy a smile? A small one, perhaps, to cheer himself? Featuring charming, classic illustrations reminiscent of Maurice Sendak and Tomie dePaola, Satoshi Kitamura's The Smile Shop is an absorbing story of community, self-worth, and the effect of a smile shared between two people. An apt parable for a time when smiles and expressions of warmth are in high demand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Volatility Smile The Black-Scholes-Merton option model was the greatest innovation of 20th century finance, and remains the most widely applied theory in all of finance. Despite this success, the model is fundamentally at odds with the observed behavior of option markets: a graph of implied volatilities against strike will typically display a curve or skew, which practitioners refer to as the smile, and which the model cannot explain. Option valuation is not a solved problem, and the past forty years have witnessed an abundance of new models that try to reconcile theory with markets. The Volatility Smile presents a unified treatment of the Black-Scholes-Merton model and the more advanced models that have replaced it. It is also a book about the principles of financial valuation and how to apply them. Celebrated author and quant Emanuel Derman and Michael B. Miller explain not just the mathematics but the ideas behind the models. By examining the foundations, the implementation, and the pros and cons of various models, and by carefully exploring their derivations and their assumptions, readers will learn not only how to handle the volatility smile but how to evaluate and build their own financial models. Topics covered include: The principles of valuation Static and dynamic replication The Black-Scholes-Merton model Hedging strategies Transaction costs The behavior of the volatility smile Implied distributions Local volatility models Stochastic volatility models Jump-diffusion models The first half of the book, Chapters 1 through 13, can serve as a standalone textbook for a course on option valuation and the Black-Scholes-Merton model, presenting the principles of financial modeling, several derivations of the model, and a detailed discussion of how it is used in practice. The second half focuses on the behavior of the volatility smile, and, in conjunction with the first half, can be used for as the basis for a more advanced course.

The Power of Your Smile is a wise yet playful reminder that smiling can improve not only your day but also the days of the people around you. In fact, smiling can improve your entire life. This book focuses on seemingly silly things—maybe even minor or mundane—that in truth are very important. We could focus on difficulties, or instead, wear a smile and brighten even the most difficult times. Using jokes and anecdotes, author William Kalanta offers many reasons why a person should smile, and there are indeed many! Kalanta uses humor as a way of expressing profound, inspirational truths in a way that anyone can understand. Smiling is the best way to change your mood and turn a bad day good. You are the producer, director, and star of your life. Why waste it by wearing a frown? A smile says, “Don’t pet sweaty things and don’t sweat petty things.” A smile can change the world.

Book excerpt: Reflections On A Smile is a book of poems where dentist Sawicki dispenses hundreds of impulse fleeting expressions with passionate imaginations of lips and smiles. You'll discover a company of brief poems that glide into a world of lips and smiles and all the emotions they yearn to reveal just outside Sawicki's working palette of teeth and gums. Reflections On A Smile, Poems To Passion, offers a gathering of quick pondering on the enigma of lips and smiles and their many moods. Each reflection is brief but while some are light on their worldly wings, others are saddled with melodramatic trappings. According to Sawicki, 36 years into his dental career he discovered lips more sensitive than fingertips and started to explore the mystical, sensual, humorous and sometimes psychical scarring trimmings of lips and smiles that embellished the circle of teeth he treated.

Book excerpt: A desire to look attractive is no longer taken as a sign of vanity. In an economically, socially & sexually competitive world, a pleasing appearance is a necessity. Since face is the most exposed part of the body & the mouth a prominent feature, teeth are getting a greater share of attention. The patient‟s personality, along with the strength & harmony of the other facial features will determine how dominant the mouth will be in total composition. It is for that reason that the teeth & smile play a major role in whether we perceive the face of an individual as attractive or not
