...Leah Dolce ECO 103 Mortgage Project While doing this project, I kept finding myself to be very indecisive as to what I wanted in a home and what things would be important to me if I were to purchase one. This project helped me understand the basics of buying a home such as: where I would want my kids to go to school, how many bedrooms, how many bathrooms, property, neighborhood reputation, and much more. I had very little knowledge about most of the surrounding area so now I know what kind of research I would have to do to make sure I know exatcly what I want when purchasing a home. I did know I wanted it to be at least 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and have an updated kitchen. I was able to find those things in the home I selected but what I didn't realize was what the cost would be. There is a huge financial difference between a 15 year fix and a 30 year fix mortgage. For the home I selected it was a $522.76 difference in the monthly payment and a $91,271.79 difference in the amount of interest I would be paying for the life of the loan. If I was abel to afford such a hefty, monthly payment I would choose the 15 year mortgage because in the long run it would be cheaper. The lesson learned here, though, is find a more affordable house and make updates as you go along. All -in-all I had fun doing this project and it helped me understand the process into buying a home and gave me great internet resources to do...

...SYNOPSIS TITLE OF THE PROJECT HOSTEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROBLEM STATEMENT This project needs to create the Hostel Management System (HMS) to organize the rooms, mess, student’s record and the other information about the students. All hostels without HMS are managed manually by the hostel office. And hence there is a lot of strain on the person who are running the hostel. This particular project deals with the problems on managing a hostel and avoids the problem which occur when carried manually. INTRODUCTION In hostels without a HMS all the things have to be done manually. The Registration form verification to the different data processing are done manually. Thus there are a lot of repetitions which can be easily avoided. Identification of the drawbacks of the existing system leads to the designing of computerized system that will be compatible to the existing system with the system which is more user friendly and more GUI oriented. We can improve the efficiency of the system, thus overcome the drawbacks of the existing system. Hostel management gives on idea about how the students details, room allocation, mess expenditure are maintained in the particular concern. The hostel management system also includes some special features like How many students can live in a room, and the students of the hostel can be recognized from their ID number. The administration has the unique identity for each members as well as students details. The stock management...

...nonstop work. Startups are a counterexample to the rule that haste makes waste. (Too much money seems to be as bad for startups as too much time, so we don't give them much money either.) A week before Demo Day, we have a dress rehearsal called Rehearsal Day. At other Y Combinator events we allow outside guests, but not at Rehearsal Day. No one except the other founders gets to see the rehearsals. The presentations on Rehearsal Day are often pretty rough. But this is to be expected. We try to pick founders who are good at building things, not ones who are slick presenters. Some of the founders are just out of college, or even still in it, and have never spoken to a group of people they didn't already know. So we concentrate on the basics. On Demo Day each startup will only get ten minutes, so we encourage them to focus on just two goals: (a) explain what you're doing, and (b) explain why users will want it. That might sound easy, but it's not when the speakers have no experience presenting, and they're explaining technical matters to an audience that's mostly...

...pushed me out of my comfort zone to try things I never would have imagined I would. What keeps me passionate about the fashion world is the freedom and creative expression one gets. You can express yourself and maybe people will listen or respond. If I see someone with a great pair of shoes on (for example), I may go up to them and tell them and we strike up a conversation and perhaps we become friends. This isn't always the case but it is more likely since you started with a mutual interest. I knew I could start making the world pretty one girl at a time! Fashions is art that we wear every day and live our lives in. Unless you live in a nudist colony, clothes are something that we must wear every day. The beauty of that is that through clothing we have the opportunity to express a part of our personalities and ourselves. I love beautiful and functional design of all types whether it be fashion, architecture, household appliances, or furniture. Everything that we wear or use generally has a function and I love beautiful things that are useful. I’m inspired by beauty. I see it everywhere around me. Raised by a mother that adores interior designs I was taught from an early age about good design and living in every day beauty by creating an attractive environment. However, with...

...Fashion is a complex relationship of psychology as well as sociology between the individual self and clothing. Clothing is a phenom that is present in our everyday lives and the psychology of clothing leaves a subconscious mark on our identities. Originally donned for protection and comfort, clothing has since adopted meaning as well as function, creating cultural and social implication. Whether or not we mean to we reflect who we are through our choices of dress. “On a daily basis, individuals use clothes to communicate desired aspects about the self to others, and those others in turn, respond to this self-symbolizing and provide new insights to others about themselves… leads us to the focus on the social self.” (Kaiser 1985: pp. 146) Fashion...

...Gap Inc. In 2010 1. The five forces of analysis about the strengths of competition presents what you should be prepared for. If you are in the clothing industry then you have you have to look out for new people who are coming into the industry. You have to see how much your competition is selling their clothes for. Also how much your customers are able to buy the clothes for. 2. The main factor is having the latest fashion trends and then to be able to quickly bring that into the market. They also need to make sure their clothing store isn’t like all the ones within the customers shopping range. Another factor is being able to create brand loyalty so that the customer will stick with the product. Many rivals dedicate a considerable amount of resources for brand building and advertising. 3. The strongest overall competitive position would be TJX, they had the leading off-price retailer of clothing in the United States in 2010. They would be the strongest competitors because they sell their products at 20-60 percent below department store’s prices. The lowest competitor would be AEO, they don’t have as many stores as the other three competitors do. They aren’t bringing in as many customers as GAP is bringing in, so they don’t pose as much as a threat as the others would. 4. Their strategy in 2007 was to improve the appeal of the company’s product lines and expand its business internationally. The strategy that they are using is the best-cost provider strategy...

...keep distribution costs at a minimum) and established companies and persona in the field of apparel designing like Stella McCartney. The planned brand ambassador of this new clothing line of Stella McCartney which was to be introduced in 2005 was Kate Moss. H&M did not hesitate to drop Kate Moss late in 2005 when allegations regarding drug abuse began to surface about this renowned personality of the glamour world thus sending a clear signal about its corporate stand on dubious and avoidable matters as drug addiction. This action of the company immediately generated enormous amounts of goodwill in entire western world and positioned the brand at an enviably high perch. (H&M, 2004) H&M has become one of the largest retailers in Europe. It has reached this iconic status by targeting each member of the consumer group by primarily dividing them into convenient groupings as men, women, teenagers, children and future mothers and has exclusive offerings to satisfy each group. Moreover, the company slots its customers into two distinct categories – practical consumers and fashionable and trendy consumers and caters to requirements of each group separately. While clothing never exceeds basic physical requirement for the former group, it becomes a matter of sartorial elegance in case of the latter. Keeping this basic difference of these two groups in mind, H&M stocks its stores with clothes of distinct...

As you watch a person walk down the street and you view their attire, you are doing the same thing walking around an art gallery viewing portraits. You are looking at someone’s passion for design. You are viewing their creation in different mediums.

The design of clothing can be compared to the designing of a sculpture. The sculpture of human figure such as a King or Pharaoh relates to that time period, or period style, just as a piece of clothing relates to and era or time period. The design of clothing varies from each of these time periods. The “casual” clothing designed in the Middle Ages 800-1200 of the Romanesque Period was of long loose garments. Just as in a vertical line on a painting they stood tall in these long gowns and extended their dress by wearing tall head dresses. The colors they would wear seem to be of a dark, dull nature being mostly of blues, greens, and browns. Both men and women dressed in garments that were almost identical to each other (Hansen 1956).
