...Intro I am a student that has attended 3 schools and has always worn a school uniform, a mate has never experienced any issues with school uniforms, and have noticed a few issues that can be prevented from the use of a uniform. Uniforms, not only had they been proven to be helpful at school, but they are also helpful at home. Base Parents spend a couple hundred dollars per year on clothing just to make their children meet the latest fashion. An average shop favoured by many teenagers, such as International, sells a piece of clothing for around $40 each! Parents can really find this money useful while paying bills. Uniforms are cheap, after a mate when his primary, his parents had a lot of excess money to spend because of uniform! A typical gang trait is to have a gang name, gang color, and other characteristics, that make them diverse this makes parent spend money on clothes that children don?t need. There is a possibility of violence due to an article of clothing. If a student is dressed up similar to a member of a gang, another student who does not like that gang might plan to attack that person. In this case uniforms can protect the safety of another. Many people believe if you compare a uniform school with a non-uniform school, you?ll see that violence is much popular in the non-uniform school. As said above clothing can be quite expensive, how would one feel if their garment has been misplaced or stolen? A lot of students love to brag about their shoes, especially...

...would be looking at. Initially I believed we were going to see a lot of paintings, particular oil on canvas based on what we were doing in class. However when I actually went inside and got to take a look at all of the pieces, I was pleasantly surprised. I felt like many of these pieces were very good, however the ones that really stood out to me were Xenobia Bailey’s Paradise Under Reconstruction in the Aesthetic of Funk along with Joyce J. Scott’s wooden figure, and Januwa Moja’s Queen of Spades. Bailey’s piece easily grabbed my attention simply because of some of the elements she used in it. Her quilting patterns in particular were brilliant and resembled a style of ghanaian kente cloth with a twist of native american craftsmanship. Scott’s use of plastic beads, glass and various cloths to decorate her wooden figure stayed true to the theme of “Brides of Anansi”, however it also added another element of diversity due to the fact that some of the decorations looked asian as well. The two pieces being right beside one another was especially eye popping for me because I thought they were initially done by the same person, and I really liked how they complemented each other. Moja’s Queen of Spades was similar to Scott’s wooden figure in that they were both pieces that used humanoid figures, however that is where the similarities end. Moja’s figure was decorated entirely in african attire, shown by the delightful african print gown combined with beads as well as cowrie shells...

...Cloth Vs Disposable Diapers…..What’s Best? Introduction Diapers have been used by humans throughout history. But, the word diaper did not originally refer to its use. Instead, the term originally referred to a type of cloth with a pattern of small repeated geometric shapes. The first diapers were made of a special type of soft cloth cut in geometric shapes. The method of creating geometric shapes in cloth was called diapering, but it eventually gave the name of the cloth used in making diapers back in 1590s in England. Diaper is used on children who are not yet toilet trained to prevent bed-wetting and to keep babies’ skin clean and dry. While it was originally made of cloth material, several variations and improvements were made on the diaper resulting in the creation of disposable diaper. Unlike cloth diapers which can be washed and reused multiple times, disposable diapers are thrown away after use (Leverich). The boom of the disposable diaper industry suggests that it is more preferred by parents that its cloth counterpart. Parents choose what they think is best for their baby. Hence, while the use of disposable diaper has become a trend, it actually has a number of disadvantages that may want parents to reconsider using cloth diapers. Health and Comfort One of the main reasons of using diapers is to provide comfort for the baby by keeping their skin dry, healthy and free from rashes. Prolong wetness irritates the baby’s skin and cause rashes. Cloth diaper is made...

...The 2014 film Pompeii is set in Pompeii and Rome, right before the Vesuvian eruption of 79 AD. Starting with Pliny the Younger’s quote describing the contemporary experience of the eruption, the film draws extensively on both literal and archaeological sources, with great attention to details. For example, the proposal to construct a new aqueduct, better sanitation, bigger bath houses, and a circus show the range of engineering feats and public constructions enjoyed by people in the Roman empire. The accurate arrangement of Pompeii city is another example of drawing on archaeological sources (i.e. excavation of the city and high-tech reconstructions). The depiction of amphitheaters with cloth awnings, the refighting of wars in the amphitheater,...

...Abstract: The paper presents an attempt for analysis of the theory in the sphere of the Management Information System (MIS). The information needs of the various managerial levels are pointed out and the stages in the development of MIS are defined. The growing importance of the application of MIS in tailoring industry is shown. Key words: Information Technology (IT), Management Information System (MIS), tailoring industry INTRODUCTION We are living in a time of great change and working in an Information Age. Managers have to assimilate masses of data, convert that data into information, form conclusions about that information and make decisions leading to the achievement of business objectives. For an organization, information is as important resource as money, machinery and manpower. It is essential for the survival of the enterprise. Before the widespread use of computers, many organizations found difficulties in gathering, storing, organising and distributing large amounts of data and information. Developments in computer technology made possible for managers to select the information they require, in the form best suited for their needs and in time they want. This information must be current and in many cases is needed by many people at the same time. So it have to be accurate, concise, timely, complete, well presented and storable. Most firms nowadays depend on IT. But personal computers (PCs) themselves will not improve organizational productivity: this...

Therefore, "Old Man's Cloth" has an ambiguous effect of the legal system in context to the region in which the issue is present. Anatsui's work is placed in a the San Fransisco Museum of Modern Art, far distanced from Western Africa. Moreover, the artwork does not readily ellecit an emotional reaction in which demands the action of the viewer. By this, those effected by their viewing may feel sympathy for the individuals involved, or even for the situation at large, but do not feel compelled to act in response to the injustice.

...ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study A table cloth is a piece of material designed to spread on a dinning table before laying out tableware and food. Some are mainly ornamental coverings which may also help protect the table from scratches and stains. It can be any other material used for covering the table. Table cloths are among some of the items that contribute to the decoration of an interior. They are always carefully selected to suit that interior in which they are put and the designs to enhance the beauty of a particular interior. Table cloths at a greater extent are used mainly in homes, churches, hospitals, hotels and restaurants among others. In such places where people go to relax, an effort has always been made to make these places comfortable, colourful, attractive and beautiful. Most of the hostels have table cloths that are imported into the country. The designs are derived from items or inspirations that do not relate to food stuffs Below are photographs of some of the exiting hotel table cloths. Uganda is endowed with a lot of natural food stuff that can be used as inspiration to derive designs and choose colours for hotel table cloths. This may enhance the beauty of the table cloths and may create an environment conductive for customers. It is also noted that artists in Uganda have not been involved in the art of decorating table cloths for hotels yet it is an area that offers a wide range of artistic...
