...the 1920’s people started changing drastically within the fashion industry. The roaring twenties was the beginning of what we know as fashion in these times. This research paper will be focusing on the Fashion and Apparel industry. Most fashion designers have a bachelor's degree in fashion design or fashion merchandising. In these programs they learn about “textiles and fabrics and how to use computer-aided design (CAD) technology” (Bureau of Labor Statistics). They are also able to work on designs that can be added to their portfolio. Fashion designers create original clothing, accessories, and footwear. They “sketch designs, select fabrics and patterns, and give instructions on how to make the products they designed” (Bureau of Labor Statistics). Every fashion designer have nine sets of duties that they must work by which are: “Study fashion trends and anticipate designs that will appeal to consumers; Decide on a theme for a collection; Use computer-aided design programs (CAD) to create designs; Visit manufacturer's or trade shows to get fabric samples; Select fabrics...

...The relation between geology and medicine is quite intriguing and can be dated back to the times of Hippocrates and Aristotle. For centuries man has looked up to Earth for the numerous answers he seeks concerning his own body, an amalgamation of elements once sheathed in Earth. To his surprise man has found that geology is both a poison and remedy to his health. In my paper I present the two sides of the geologic coin in the world of medicine. The rocks below our feet can be deemed culprit for a number of health related issues. How many times have we heard that, ‘We are what we eat’? The source of human nutrition is cultivated from the soil. Farmers throughout the globe consider the soil as the source of their family’s bread, however dissolved material, both beneficial and harmful, get incorporated into the ground. Bunnell’s article, ‘Medical Geology: a globally emerging discipline’, discusses the “Endemic diseases correlative with soil deficiencies in selenium, the juvenile cardiomyopathy “Keshan Disease”, and the iodine deficiency disorders including goiter and myxedematous cretinism.” (Bunnell) Another area of geology I would be focusing on is groundwater; groundwater as we know is the largest reserve of fresh water to humans. So how can water something essential to human life be harmful? The answer is contamination. Contaminants in water, even present in trace amounts, can be deemed culprit for delayed brain growth, cancer and many other problems. As stated in Robert...

...Art and Culture Introduction Art refers to the variety of human activities and the products of those activities that encompass creative, imaginative and technical skills for instance painting, printmaking decoration, craft and others. However, most of arts are associated with culture and traditions (Finkelstein 21). An artist is an individual or a person possessing super skill, knowhow and ability to produce superior work of art that can either teach or entertain. Therefore in this research paper dwells majorly on craft arts because it is mostly concerned with culture and tradition (Finkelstein 22). Studio craft This is a form of craft that is practiced by self reliance individuals or a group of people working together to fulfill the obligation of the work for instance weaving, metal work, wood turning and glass art. Weaving Is a method of fabric production in which two or more distinct set of threads are interlaced at a right angle to form mates, table cloths and baskets. Geographical feature of the regions practicing the art of weaving This can be swamps, rivers, lakes and oceans where the materials for weaving can easily shrive, the area should be conducive for the growth of papyrus reeds, grasses, pine straw and water hyacinths and other. The impacts of climate, vegetation, landforms and natural resources to the art of weaving The impacts can either be positive or negative depending on the changes in the physical set up of the area.

...Extreme Makeover: Criminal Court Edition This paper is going to discuss and argue points regarding tattoos and the meaning behind the tattoos, which will also disagree with Article titled: Extreme Makeover: Criminal Court Edition, By John Schwartz, and Published in December 5, 2010 in Clearwater, Florida. A Florida judge has agreed with a defense request to have John Ditullio’s tattoos covered up by a makeup artist so that they cannot influence the jury in his murder trial. The court paid $125 a day for the services of a cosmetologist and the process took process 45 minutes. Criminal “John Ditullio goes on trial for murder charges related to a double stabbing that wounded a woman and killed a teenager in 2006. This is Mr. Ditullio’s second trial for the murder; the first, which also involved the services of a cosmetologist, ended last year in a mistrial. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. Jurors will not see the large swastika tattooed on his neck. Or the crude insults tattooed on the other side of his neck, or know about the taunting Christmas card he sent to the victim’s family from prison. Or the fact that he was a Neo-Nazi group member. The judge was wrong to have agreed with defense to cover up John Ditullip‘s tattoos by a hiring maker-up artist, because tattoos have a communicative value, especially the ones with high public visibility (see plot below). According to research performed by Kathleen Doss & Amy S Ebesu Hubbard , tattoos...

...infrared (NIR), thermal infrared (IR), and three-dimensional (3D) depth cameras. It is also motivated by the demand from real applications. For example, when a subject’s face can only be acquired at night, the NIR or IR imaging might be the only modality for acquiring a useful face image of the subject. Another example is that no imaging system was available to capture the face image of a suspect during a criminal act. In this case a forensic sketch, drawn by a police artist based on a verbal description provided by a witness or the victim, is likely to be the only available source of a face of the suspect. Using the sketch to search a large database of mug-shot face photos is also a heterogeneous face recognition problem. Thus it is interesting to study the HFR as a relatively new topic in biometrics. In this article, several specific HFR problems are presented, and various approaches are described to address the heterogeneous face matching problems. Some future research directions are discussed as well to advance the research on this emerging topic.

Niccolò Machiavelli pondered that timeless conundrum 500 years ago and hedged his bets. “It may be answered that one should wish to be both,” he acknowledged, “but because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved.” Now behavioral science is weighing in with research showing that Machiavelli had it partly right: When we judge others—especially our leaders—we look first at two characteristics: how lovable they are (their warmth, communion, or trustworthiness) and how fearsome they are (their strength, agency, or competence). Although there is some disagreement about the proper labels for the traits, researchers agree that they are the two primary dimensions of social judgment. Why are these traits so important? Because they answer two critical questions: “What are this person’s intentions...

...psychologists are in agreement that since the beginning of mankind’s history, fear is the universal response to death. In America, the reaction is far greater striking chords of terror so horrific and becoming innately ingrained in the fabric of society to affect most every segment. This paper will look at this fear and determine the affects it has had on present day America’s behaviors toward and beliefs about the aging population and correlate it to the society’s fear of death. Everyone has heard the expression that “time flies by like the blink of an eye.” Humans have been attempting for centuries to make sense of and accept the concept of time. The great Albert Einstein, the most prolific physicist of the 20th century, in his Theory of Relativity proved that time was relative. In other words, time and it’s accepted concept of constant, continual progression at a fixed rate was incorrect or not an absolute. Einstein convinced himself and many others that the past, present, and future were only an illusion (Schwartz, 2003). However, to the majority of the world’s population, time is not a theory. It is something that propels us into old age and beyond. The subject of time has inspired many artists to attempt stopping it, or at least slowing it down, with many varied perceptions utilizing their gifted crafts. Using Albert Einstein’s relativity theory, Salvador Dali’s emotions were roused enough for him to paint one of the most famous paintings in history. His Persistence of Memory...

...geisha’s what comes to mind are women dressed in bright clothing culture clothing, white painted faces and a dainty walk. What we don’t consider is the lack of emotion, strict code of silence and secrecy. Geisha, just like prostitutes are trained to have a strict code of silence and protectiveness toward their clients. Elderly geisha could be considered Madams, who provided training to new recruits. Over the centuries, elderly geisha have also developed a deeply routed tradition of secrecy. Elderly women behind the mask have fulfilled a destiny rooted in Japanese history. Although associated with prostitution, many modern day women continue to seek this tradition. My research however, revealed contradictory information on whether or not geisha were actually prostitutes. The majority of my research material stated geisha actually started as men jesters and musicians who entertained in brothels. This continued until 1751 when the first document record of female geisha appeared. Most documented material on geisha treated them as images of lovely passive girls whose purpose was solely in male entertainment and pleasure or as prostitutes or courtesans. During the time period of 1751 it was not uncommon for actors to double as prostitutes. It was also not uncommon for Meiji government officials to select geisha for their wives. It is still said that geisha inhabit a separate reality which they call the karyūkai or "the flower and willow world." Before they disappeared...
