Collecting the perspectives of scholars who reflect on their own relationships to particular garments, analyze the politics of dress, and examine the role of consumerism and entrepreneurialism in the production of creating and selling a style, meXicana Fashions examines and searches for meaning in these visible, performative aspects of identity.
Focusing primarily on Chicanas but also considering trends connected to other Latin American communities, the authors highlight specific constituencies that are defined by region (“Tejana style,” “L.A. style”), age group (“homie,” “chola”), and social class (marked by haute couture labels such as Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta). The essays acknowledge the complex layers of these styles, which are not mutually exclusive but instead reflect a range of intersections in occupation, origin, personality, sexuality, and fads. Other elements include urban indigenous fashion shows, the shifting quinceañera market, “walking altars” on the Days of the Dead, plus-size clothing, huipiles in the workplace, and dressing in drag. Together, these chapters illuminate the full array of messages woven into a vibrant social fabric.

Italian adventurer and sea captain Celso Cesare Moreno traveled the world lying, scheming, and building an extensive patron/client network to establish his reputation as a middleman and person of significance. Through his machinations, Moreno became a critical player in the expansion of western trade and imperialism in Asia, the trafficking of migrant workers and children in the Atlantic, the conflicts of Americans and Native Hawaiians over the fate of Hawaii, and the imperial competitions of French, British, Italian, and American governments during a critically important era of imperial expansion during the nineteenth century. Oh Capitano teases out Moreno's enormous peculiarities and fascination as well as his significance.
Celso Cesare Moreno was simultaneously toxic, deceitful, and charming in equal measure. He wandered, adventured, cheated, exaggerated, promoted (mainly himself), and continuously created newly invented past lives. He repeatedly sought a role at the center of a globalizing world with gusto and had no qualms about lying or betraying others. He claimed at times to be the ruler of a Southeast Asian island that he then offered for sale to several western nations. He briefly became prime minister of Hawai'i. He testified before the U.S. Congress as an expert witness. He sought to promote a trans-Pacific cable project. He fought with the ministers and leaders of many countries (and with his fellow Italians and Catholic churchmen almost everywhere) but was more often ignored and rejected than feted. He was accused, probably with good cause, of abusing his obligations after claiming guardianship of the sons of King David Kalakaua of Hawaii. Dragged by his uncontrollable polemical passions, the old Captain died alone, unloved by anyone and with no significant relations to others.
With its focus on Moreno, Oh Capitano illustrates some of the most puzzling cultural traits of emigrant Italian elites. Called a "carpet beggar," "land pirate," "extinct volcano," among many other derogatory monikers, Celso emerges in this fascinating biography as a multifaceted, chameleon-like personality not reducible to a single epithet.

Описание: At the end of 2016, global premium volume in cyber insurance was thought to be in excess of US$ 4bn, with around 80% coming from the US. The other 20% was split between Europe and Asia, where the product is still catching up. Premium volume in Europe is expected to rise from US$ 300m in 2016 to US$ 900m in 2018 – a growth rate of 200% in two years. Why this staggering increase? Cyber threats are one of the biggest threats to companies and organisations in the 21st century. A website linked to cyber attacks on UK banks has recently been shut down following a UK and Netherlands led operation; in May last year the NHS was the victim of a large scale cyber attack; and in March last year the details of 43,000 holiday makers were put at risk of being accesssed after ABTA was hacked. Companies are becoming more and more exposed to the threat of cyber attacks. With traditional commercial general liability insrance policies, in the main, not covering internet-based risks and general IT infrastructure risks cyber insurance policies are on the increase. In the London market alone there are now 15 policies whereas two years ago there were only 6. The number of policies is only likely to increase. What do cyber insurance policies cover? Cyber insurance policies cover things such as: - first-party coverage against losses such as data destruction, extortion, theft and hacking; and - liability coverage indemnifying companies for losses to others caused by, for example, errors and omissions, failure to safeguard data, or defamation. Covering both UK and EU law, Cyber Insurance Law and Practice provides a detailed description of cyber risks analysis and the underwriting of cyber risks. It includes chapters on each section of typical cyber policies, finishing with a chapter on claims and cyber breach response. In view of the new Data Protection Bill, professionals need guidance as to what type of cyber coverage to obtain and lawyers need instruction. There are sample clauses and exclusions in the main policy chapters. There are sections of the GDPR and WP29 Guidelines on Notification and Fines, as well as sections of the Data Protection Act and its explanatory notes. There are also extracts from the ABI Gross Profit Business Interruption form in the Appendices.

Описание: This examination of al-Qaeda's decline since the 9/11 attacks focuses on the terror organization's mutation and fragmentation. It looks at its partnership with the local and regional jihadist networks that played a pivotal role in the Madrid, London, and Fort Hood attacks, arguing that, although initially successful, such alliances actually unraveled following both anti-terror policies and a growing rejection of violent jihadism in the Muslim world. Challenging conventional theories about al-Qaeda and homegrown terrorism, the book claims that jihadist attacks are now organized by overlapping international and regional networks that have become frustrated in their inability to enforce regime change and their ideological goals. The discussion spans the war on terror, analyzing major post 9/11 attacks, the failed jihadist struggle in Iraq, al-Qaeda's affiliates, and the organization's future prospects after the death of Osama Bin Laden and the Arab Spring. This assessment of the future of the jihadist struggle against Muslim governments and homegrown Islamic terrorism in the West will be an invaluable resource to anyone studying terrorism and Islamic extremism.
