Top model and musician Irina Lazareanu decrypts the essence of rock ’n’ roll chic, taking cues from her coterie of friends from the fashion and music worlds. If you could saunter down the runway and slip backstage on the heels of Irina Lazareanu, who would you meet, what antics would ensue, and what on earth would you wear? Irina—Karl Lagerfeld’s muse, Kate Moss’s BFF, and Peter Doherty’s former fiancée—introduces you to her inner circle—models, fashion designers, editors, Hollywood starlets, and rockers—to pilfer the secrets of their individually cool and universally coveted rock ‘n’ roll style. She shares fashion tips from her fellow runway birds and offers insight from her work with designers including Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, and Nicolas Ghesquière, as well as with fashion professionals like Edward Enninful and Inez & Vinoodh. Irina includes killer looks from friends such as Sean Lennon, Yoko Ono, Hedi Slimane, Lindsay Lohan, Mark Ronson, and the late Amy Winehouse. She details a host of wardrobe tips and essentials, including dos and don’ts for creating your own folk, retro, punk, or glam rock look. In scrapbook collages and lively anecdotes from her life on the fashion and concert circuits, the captivating Romanian-Canadian top model and singer shares showstopping sartorial nuggets that will give your threads—and attitude—a rock ‘n’ roll edge.

The aviation community, in which the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO) play leading roles, is hard at work in bringing aviation into the 21st Century. In doing so, the United States and Europe have taken proactive steps forward in introducing modernization, particularly in moving towards more efficient air traffic management systems within NextGen and SESAR. Elsewhere, in the fields of personnel licensing, rules of the air, accident investigation and aeronautical charts and information, significant strides are being made in moving from mere regulation to implementation and assistance calculated to make all ICAO member States self sufficient in international civil aviation. However, these objectives can be achieved only if the aviation industry has a sustained understanding of the legal and regulatory principles applying to the various areas of air navigation. This book provides that discussion. Some of the subjects discussed in this book are: sovereignty in airspace; flight information and air defence identification zones; rules of the air; personnel licensing; meteorological services; operations of aircraft; air traffic services; accident and incident investigation; aerodromes; efficiency aspects of aviation and environmental protection; aeronautical charts and information; the carriage of dangerous goods; and NextGen and SESAR . Except for NextGen and SESAR, these subjects form the titles of the Annexes to the Chicago Convention that particularly involve the rights and liabilities of the key players involved in air navigation.

Comprised of the papers presented at the eighth, and latest, International Conference Simulation in Risk Analysis and Hazard Mitigation, this book covers a topic of increasing importance. Scientific knowledge is essential to our better understanding of risk. Natural hazards such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, fires and others, have always affected human societies. Man-made hazards, however, played a comparatively small role until the industrial revolution when the risk of catastrophic events started to increase due to the rapid growth of new technologies and the urbanisation of populations. The interaction of natural and anthropogenic risks adds to the complexity of the problem.Due to advances in computational methods and the ability to model systems more precisely we can now quantify hazards, simulate their effects and calculate risk with greater accuracy, enabling us to manage risk much more effectively. These developments are particularly relevant to environmental issues, where substantial risks are involved. Governments, and their publics, now place a high priority on effective risk management and the mitigation of possible hazards. Covering topics such as: Estimation of Risk; Risk Management; Vulnerability; Geomorphologic Risk; Network Systems; Climate Change Risks; Hazard Prevention; Management and Control; Security and Public Safety; Transportation Safety; Safe Ship Operations; Early Warning Systems; Food Safety; Risk Perception; Natural Hazards; Technological Risk, the book will be of interest to planners, emergency managers, environmentalists, engineers, policy makers and other government officials, researchers and academics involved in the field of risk and disaster management.

This is a story of a young teen that makes an incredible discovery while trying to fine tune an earlier invention. Realizing the potential danger to the world if it got into the wrong hands, he dedicates most of his younger life protecting the secret till he is able to build something that not only can protect himself and two young ladies that came into his life, but the many secrets of his inventions. Secrets that over time will have far reaching consequences spanning hundreds of years and hundreds of worlds.

The rapid advancement of technology, along with the increasing complexity of air traffic management present significant challenges in aviation management. As the industry continues to evolve, aviation professionals must stay updated with the latest advancements to ensure safe and efficient operations. However, accessing comprehensive and up-to-date resources can be difficult, leading to a knowledge gap that hinders the industry's progress. New Innovations in AI, Aviation, and Air Traffic Technology offers a solution to the challenges faced by aviation management professionals by providing a comprehensive overview of futuristic research trends in aviation management. Through case studies, simulations, and experimental results, we offer readers a detailed exploration of the latest trends in air traffic management, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), electric vehicles, and more. By providing a bridge between theory and practice, this book equips aviation professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate and contribute to the rapidly evolving aviation industry.
