The second piece of work that I am going to discuss is Candy Apple Chick II by James Gill. This piece consists of a portrait of a woman looking up, repeated three times along the top 1/3 of the canvas. She is surrounded by a flat but loud orange, trimmed in a rich blue. The remaining 2/3 of the canvas is the lower half of a woman from her shoulders down, stepping out of a car. This portion of the image is sectioned off in the shape of a rectangle, and flooded with a blue-green. It is…

Michael Gates Gill had everything necessary handed to him. High ranking, well paying jobs were easily attained through his father’s connections and money. Big houses and an Ivy League education were synonymous with his family name. However, in his late fifties, Gill lost his job, got divorced, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Dead broke, he was forced to get a job at Starbucks and open his mind to a whole new society. In his memoir, How Starbucks Saved My Life, Michael Gill describes his…

group or organization (Val & Kemp, 2012; Gill, 2014; Gladding, 2016). Per Gladding (2016), authoritarian group leaders can be charismatic and manipulative and typically believe they understand group dynamics, make interpretations, give advice, demand obedience, and expect conformity. Furthermore, these leaders typically do not seek the input and advice of others and often demonstrate a lack of trust in the ability of others to make decisions and suggestions (Gill, 2014). According to Val and…

Figure 1: The Effect of Species Type on Mass Specific Gill Arch Surface Area The sample size of our experiment was 4 groups (N=4). The height of the bars represent the average mass specific surface area for the four classes from whom the data was collected from, in cm2/kg. The first bar represents the average mass specific surface area for the species Scomber scombrus, or the Mackerel Fish. The second bar represents the average mass specific surface area for Merluccius bilinearis, or the Silver…

communication is, how this concept played out in the movie Midnight in Paris in the relationship Gill had with Inez and the relationship he had with Adriana, and how we were able to see quality communication comes together when the individuals part ways at the end of the movie.

Soi is a Thai word for "street" and in 2003 the Dalley's with the help of their friend Margot Homburg Park, fitting named their foundation Soi Dog was born. The goal, to address Phuket's epidemic street dog and cat problem. In those early days, Gill and John's mission was simple and straightforward "Giving Phuket's animals the treatment and care they so desperately needed... One animal at a time." With such humble beginnings, it's amazing to see that Soi Dog, in less than a decade has grown…

empowerment Women are constantly sexualised around the world, especially in Western societies today (Gill, 2009). Specifically, women have been struggling to transition from being sexually objectified, being presented as submissive objects of an assumed male gaze and having no bodily autonomy, to becoming sexual subjects, who make a choice to own their sexuality, and present themselves as such (Gill, 2008; Gill, 2009). One claimed step towards female sexual empowerment in advertising and in the…

Day labourers, London prostitutes, and Mexican migrants are communities that live on the margins of society. Their status and occupation labels them as outcasts as they are considered to be communities who are deviant from societal norms (Gill 1999:120; Day 1999:141; Gonzales and Chavez 2012:277) These individuals live their daily lives in the ‘here and now’, in other words, their temporal orientation is towards the present. According to Park et al., (2016:1-5) and Kwapinska (2009:433), temporal…

enhanced, not limited, by evidence based practices. There is great evidence that individuals with severe mental illness can recover, and create satisfying, meaningful lives (Gill & Pratt, 2005).

According to one source, “research strongly supports …the use of psychosocial interventions such as supported employment, various approaches to…

Through this process, Gurpinder Gill and Harvel Gill were able to immigrate to the US. They…
