    1. I asked, “Must we?” This was theclosest I would ever come to saying, Stay. Just stay with me. Let your handtravel wherever it wishes, take my suit off, take me, I won’t make a noise,won’t tell a soul, I’m hard and you know it, and if you won’t, I’ll take thathand of yours and slip it into my suit now and let you put as many fingersas you want inside me

      Later in the novel it shows that he does pick up on this. This shows support of body language, the deception of words and yet the honesty of bodily expression. True identity comes through in skin.

    1. I was going forthe devious smile that would suddenly light up his face each time he’d readmy mind, when all I really wanted was skin, just skin.

      Yet again the skin motif -- his duality is what Elio had been searching for -- and it appears in a sexual manner but it really connects to the matter of Oliver's security of identity and of being a whole, even when he recognises that he cannot be one.

    2. soles, of his throat, of the bottom of his forearms, which hadn’t really beenexposed to much sun. Almost a light pink, as glistening and smooth as theunderside of a lizard’s belly. Private, chaste, unfledged, like a blush on anathlete’s face or an instance of dawn on a stormy night. It told me thingsabout him I never knew to ask

      Motif of skin introduced in CMBYN, where Oliver's duality of skin, tanned, and pink and untouched represents the multidimensionality of identity, and the contradictions that exist within him -- which is what fascinates Elio. The coexistence of both contradictions in such a beautiful, whole, masterpiece who has affinities leaping out of him is enlightening for Elio. Elio may see Oliver as an Elio who he wishes to mature into.

    1. The novelist and screenwriter Raymond Chandler said he avoided reading books written by someone who didn’t “take the pains” to write out the words. (It used to be common for writers to dictate into a recorder then have an assistant transcribe those words.) “You have to have that mechanical resistance,” Chandler wrote in a 1949 letter to actor/writer Alex Barris. “When you have to use your energy to put those words down, you are more apt to make them count.”

    1. his suggests that successful problem solvingmay be a function of flexible strategy application in relation to taskdemands.” (Vartanian 2009, 57)

      Successful problem solving requires having the ability to adaptively and flexibly focus one's attention with respect to the demands of the work. Having a toolbelt of potential methods and combinatorially working through them can be incredibly helpful and we too often forget to explicitly think about doing or how to do that.

      This is particularly important in mathematics where students forget to look over at their toolbox of methods. What are the different means of proof? Some mathematicians will use direct proof during the day and indirect forms of proof at night. Look for examples and counter-examples. Why not look at a problem from disparate areas of mathematical thought? If topology isn't revealing any results, why not look at an algebraic or combinatoric approach?

      How can you put a problem into a different context and leverage that to your benefit?

    1. Their disadvantages include limited survival, high cost, and the need for multiple applications (Table 9-10). Allografting, albeit with a very thin graft, may at times be required to accomplish complete coverage.

    1. Nodular melanoma ++ Nodular melanomas account for 20% of melanomas, are aggressive and invasive, and have no radial growth phase. They are typically found on the trunk and limbs of young to middle-aged individuals (see FIG. 125.8). It may have a ‘blueberry’-like nodule. Prognosis is determined by thickness at the time of excision. Dermatoscopy is usually less useful. ++ FIGURE 125.8 Nodular melanoma on the back. It has no radial growth phase and because it grows vertically can be readily misdiagnosed. The ABCD rule often does not apply but this lesion shows variable colours and an irregular border.

The mnemonic EFG, standing for ‘Elevated’, ‘Firm’ and ‘Growing for more than 1 month’, is more appropriate. Early melanomas tend to be symmetrical, non-pigmented, even in colour, of small diameter and to grow vertically. ++ They are often mistaken for a haemangioma or a pyogenic granuloma. If one is suspicious, refer early to a specialist/specialist clinic. ++ Acral lentiginous melanoma ++ These typically occur on palms, soles and distal phalanges (see FIG. 125.9). They have a poorer prognosis than other types. They occur mainly in people with dark skin. ++ FIGURE 125.9 Acral lentiginous melanoma. A 30-year-old man presented with a ‘mole’ on his toe that had become ‘lumpier’. This type of melanoma, which occurs on the distal areas of the limbs, begins as a spreading pigmented, macule before developing into a nodule surrounded by a pigmented halo (as shown).

They are often subtle

    1. Imagine we were wanting to create a higher-quality skin shader, but weren't overly concerned about performance (e.g. we were doing prerendered cinematics). Is this best achieved with the current shading model, and working purely within the materials editor, or would it be best to define our own shading model? By 'higher quality', I mean:

      1. multiple subdermal maps with their own kernels
      2. backscattering
