Company History: In 1977, the Silverman brothers, Jerry and Mark, who owned and operated Silverman’s Menswear, a Retail Ventures, Inc. company, founded American Eagle Outfitters. Opening the first store in Novi, Minnesota, the Silverman brothers were hoping to diversify their menswear line. Several stores were opened up and a catalog was created. American Eagle Outfitters continued to grow into 1990, when a leadership change to Jacob Price led to the introduction of casual, private-label merchandise for men and women. In 1994, American Eagle Outfitters became part of the NASDAQ stock exchange, which enabled the opening of 90 stores the following year. New executives came aboard in 1996 and decided to alter the target demographics of the target market and reach more women, as well as focus on those 18-32 years of age. Shortly after, American Eagle expanded to e-commerce with ae.com. By 2000, American Eagle operated 500 stores and revenues for the company quintupled to $1 billion. The Canadian...

...Para entender lo que es un mensaje subliminal, primero debemos saber que los procesos mentales se dividen en dos áreas: Consciente y subconsciente. El consciente es la mente racional, lo que cuestiona y analiza. El consciente procesa solo ciertos rasgos visuales, auditivos, de tacto, tacto y olfato. El subconsciente procesa la totalidad de los estímulos restantes. Un mensaje subliminal es una señal o mensaje diseñado para pasar por debajo de los niveles normales de la percepción humana. Por tal razón son estímulos que no alcanzan la representación consciente por falta de atención o por su corta duración. Son imágenes o sonidos que al transmitirse entran directamente al subconsciente sin que el consciente lo capte al momento. Los mensajes subliminales no son un concepto nuevo o de moda. Desde la antigüedad los filósofos griegos comenzaron a hacer mención de las percepciones subliminares. Los primeros registros datan de 2,250 años. En los escritos de Demócrito el mencionaba que no somos capaces de percibir mucho de lo perceptible. Platón también lo menciona en su escrito “Timeo”. En su escrito “Parva Naturalia”, Aristóteles, menciona como los estímulos no percibidos pueden afectar los sueños. El explicó que durante el día si los estímulos que recibimos no son lo suficientemente fuertes y poderosos pasan inadvertidos. Durante el día, mientras estamos despiertos, estamos expuestos a fuertes impulsos y estímulos. En la noche, cuando dormimos, todos esos estímulos...

...Hotel California details how numbing the American Dream can actually be. The song tells the story of a lonesome traveler wandering through the middle of nowhere and coming across the “Hotel California”. However, as the song progresses, the out of touch nature of the hotel begins to grow on the protagonist to the point where he wishes to return to his prior life, but cannot. This song, while emphasizing on the fame related side of the success, is an excellent analogy for the secret costs of the American Dream. At the beginning of the song, a stranger stumbles upon the Hotel California and is kindly (and surreally) greeted by the staff. This represents the enticing feeling of succeeding, one that is comforting, and welcoming. Furthermore, there are numerous references to materialism along with the free lifestyle often associated with success in America, such as how “Her mind is Tiffany-twisted”, and how “She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends / How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat / Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.” This trend of desiring material items others can’t have illustrates the lifestyles that was stereotypical of rock stars at the time. They got everything they wanted and did anything they wanted. It is not, however, until the end of the song, where the true nature of these events reveal themselves. This lifestyle has consumed them, and while it was exciting while it lasted, it has taken its toll as, as seen in the line, “We...

...Swans are birds of the family Anatidae within the genus Cygnus. There are six to seven species of swan called the Black-necked Swan, Black Swan, Mute Swan, Trumpeter Swan, Tundra swan which includes the Bewick's Swan and Whistling Swan, and the Whooper Swan. In addition there is another species known as the coscoroba swan, although this species is no longer considered one of the true swans. The swans are close relatives with geese and ducks. Often seen gliding across lakes, the swan has long represented elegance and refinement. 2 The swans are the largest members of the waterfowl family Anatidae, and are among the largest flying birds. The largest species, including the mute swan, trumpeter swan, and whooper swan, can reach a length of over 1.5 m (59 in) and weigh over 15 kg (33 lb). Their wingspans can be over 3.1 m (10 ft). 3 Swans live for approximately 20 to 30 years. Some variations exist between the more common swan species. The trumpeter swan, which is the largest swan in North America, lives for an average of 24 years in the wild but has been known to live for 33 years in captivity. A mute swan lives for an average of 19 to 20 years; the tundra swan has a similar life span. The black swans of Australia and New Zealand, which have been introduced to North America and Europe, can live for up to 40 years in the wild. 4 The swan is found on both sides of the Equator across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The northern swan is generally white in colour...

...Hotel” is a song produced by the Eagles, in the 1970's. Similar to many other songs and articles, “California Hotel” talks about the lifestyle these artists encountered after settling in California. To many people, living in California was a dream. In “Golden State, Golden Youth” Kirse Granat May states,“To those who followed the rush to gold, California remained unique: a place to regain health, live on the frontier, build a railroad, exploit agricultural possibilities, discover oil, or make fortunes in real estate. For newcomers, it was still the land of the second chance, glowing with opportunity amidst sunshine.” The Eagles were a band that moved to california to pursue their dreams, just like millions of people across the world. These artists heard many rumors about the endless money, women, and fame thats awaiting for them in the golden state, so they took their chances. Unlike many people which moved to california, their dreams of money and fame came true. But what they didn't know is that everything comes with a price. The lifestyle that came with that much fame and money, was a life style that had no true love, only meaningless sex, drug abuse, and an unethical life. After these artists discovered the true life of a Californian star, they wished they have never came; they tried to escape the life they were living but it was too late and they couldn't. The introduction of this song was very detailed and I think self explanatory. The Eagles try to make us visualize their...

...“American Pie” and “Hotel California” Perhaps no other song better expresses the overall attitude of the United States (U.S.) in the 1970s than Don McLean’s “American Pie”. Released in November 1971, the song is still considered one of the greatest songs in U.S. history. Additionally, the Eagles’ song “Hotel California”, released in 1976, also exemplifies American culture during the turbulent decade of the 70s. “American Pie” is, for lack of a better word, a long song, with a run time of over eight minutes. The song consists of seven verses, as well as a chorus which is repeated seven times. The song begins with McLean’s voice over a piano. When the opening verse ends, the piano becomes less relevant in the song, and an acoustic guitar becomes the predominant instrument. The song employs a standard AABA structure, alternating between choruses and verses, except at the end, when the chorus is repeated, with the second iteration acting as the coda. Like most popular songs of the 70s, The Eagles’ rock epic “Hotel California” is written in a verse/chorus format. It contains four verses, two iterations of the chorus, a coda, and a lengthy guitar solo to end the song. The standard Eagles’ instrumental setup for the song includes drummer Don Henley singing, as well as playing the drums. Joe Walsh, Don Felder, and Glen Frey play guitars, and bassist Randy Meisner plays the bass. All four offer backup vocals during the chorus. It is safe to say that both songs are considered...

There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell and I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell". Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way. There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say, “Welcome to the Hotel California. It’s such a lovely place, such a lovely face. Plenty of room at the Hotel California, any time of year, you can find it here”. Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she has the Mercedes bends. She has a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends. How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget. So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine.” He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine." Still those voices are calling from far away.

...during that, he dropped some of the amrita fell to the grass causing some of the serpents to lick it. The serpent’s tongues were cut causing the tips to be split. The Gods fought to get the amrita back even managing to break Indra's thunderbolt. Vishnu was the only one who managed to take Garuda down. After that, Vishnu made Garuda carry him around and travel with him in order to be immortal. Garuda is often seen carrying Vishnu on his back flying through the air. He is hated by snakes and other serpents since he is their greatest enemy. This is the reason as to why birds and serpents don’t get along. Garuda is half eagle and half man. He has the torso, arms and hands of a human but the head, legs, thighs and wings of an eagle. His wings are very large eagle ones that take up the entire sky. The beat rumbles through the air. He has a large curved eagle beak used for hunting snakes. His thighs are feathered connecting to sharp talons on his feet. People who worship Vishnu often worship Garuda as well since they were often together. There are statues of Garuda in most if not all the temples with Vishnu. Garuda is said to eliminate physical and mental obstacles whilst praying in the...
