Book Synopsis Max Factor and Hollywood by : Erika Thomas
Download or read book Max Factor and Hollywood written by Erika Thomas and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the makeup artist who changed the film industry—and the world of modern cosmetics. Includes photos. When Polish wigmaker and cosmetician Max Factor arrived in Los Angeles at the dawn of the motion picture industry, “make-up” had been associated only with stage performers and ladies of the oldest profession. Appalled by the garish paints worn by actors, Factor introduced the first “flexible” greasepaint for film in 1914. With a few careful brush strokes, a lot of innovation, and the kind of luck that can happen only in Hollywood, Max Factor changed the meaning of glamour. His innovations can be experienced in every tube of lipstick, palette of eye shadow, and bottle of nail lacquer used today. Join author Erika Thomas as she reveals the makeup guru's expert beauty tips and the story of how he created the most iconic golden-era looks that are as relevant today as they were nearly a century ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Gunther's classic text with a new foreword by Gautam Baid. Luck. We can't see it, or touch it, but we can feel it. We all know it when we experience it. But does it go deeper than this? And if it goes deeper, does it do so in any way which we can harness to our own and others' advantage? Taking us on a fascinating tour through the more popular theories and histories of luck - from pseudoscience to paganism, mathematicians to magicians - Max Gunther arrives at a careful set of scientific conclusions as to the true nature of luck, and the possibility of managing it. Drawing out the logical truths hidden in some examples of outrageous fortune (and some of the seemingly absurd theories of its origins), he presents readers with the concise formulae that make up what he calls the 'Luck Factor' - the five traits that lucky people have in common - and shows how anyone can improve their luck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get the Summary of Fred E Basten's Max Factor in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "Max Factor" by Fred E Basten chronicles the life of Max Factor, born in Poland in 1877, who rose from a cosmetician in Russia to a makeup mogul in America. Max's early exposure to theater and his apprenticeship in cosmetics set the foundation for his future success. Despite thriving as a makeup artist for the Russian imperial family, he felt trapped and longed for freedom due to the oppressive regime and anti-Semitism. Max's daring escape to America with his family led him to the St. Louis World's Fair, where he introduced his products. After personal setbacks, including his wife's death and a divorce, Max's fascination with the film industry prompted a move to Los Angeles. There, he innovated makeup suitable for film, creating the flexible greasepaint and later Pan-Cake makeup for Technicolor films. Max Factor's legacy continued through his children, particularly Max Factor Jr., who furthered the company's success in television makeup and international expansion. The Max Factor Beauty Museum in Hollywood preserves his contributions to the beauty industry, while his great-grandsons carry on the family tradition in cosmetics. Max Factor's story is a testament to his impact on Hollywood glamour and the global cosmetics market.

Book Synopsis Discrete Choice Methods with Simulation by : Kenneth Train
Download or read book Discrete Choice Methods with Simulation written by Kenneth Train and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-06 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the new generation of discrete choice methods, focusing on the many advances that are made possible by simulation. Researchers use these statistical methods to examine the choices that consumers, households, firms, and other agents make. Each of the major models is covered: logit, generalized extreme value, or GEV (including nested and cross-nested logits), probit, and mixed logit, plus a variety of specifications that build on these basics. Simulation-assisted estimation procedures are investigated and compared, including maximum stimulated likelihood, method of simulated moments, and method of simulated scores. Procedures for drawing from densities are described, including variance reduction techniques such as anithetics and Halton draws. Recent advances in Bayesian procedures are explored, including the use of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and its variant Gibbs sampling. The second edition adds chapters on endogeneity and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. No other book incorporates all these fields, which have arisen in the past 25 years. The procedures are applicable in many fields, including energy, transportation, environmental studies, health, labor, and marketing.
Book Synopsis Can Democracy Safeguard the Future? by : Graham Smith
Download or read book Can Democracy Safeguard the Future? written by Graham Smith and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our democracies repeatedly fail to safeguard the future. From pensions to pandemics, health and social care through to climate, biodiversity and emerging technologies, democracies have been unable to deliver robust policies for the long term. In this book, Graham Smith asks why. Exploring the drivers of short-termism, he considers ways of reshaping legislatures and constitutions and proposes strengthening independent offices whose overarching goals do not change at every election. More radically, Smith argues that forms of participatory and deliberative politics offer the most effective democratic response to the current political myopia, as well as a powerful means of protecting the interests of generations to come.
