Collette Dinnigan who is one of the well-known contemporary Australian fashion designers, has been successful in terms of aesthetic appeal, ethical practice and functional considerations in all of her designs. This can be seen through quote by Edwina Mccann, the editor in chief of Vogue Australia, says that “Dinnigan’s sense of adventure, determination and passion have led her to become Australia’s most recognised international fashion star. She is dynamic, inspiring woman and her influence on…

I have decided to write a response paper to Jamie Schultz’s: “Reading the Catsuit: Serena Williams and the Production of Blackness at the 2002 U.S. Open.” I really enjoyed reading her journal and all the opinions regarding Serena William’s infamous catsuit. Although there are some negative opinions regarding Williams’ choice of outfit and the way she presents herself, but she has challenged the normative white identity in women’s tennis. She has pushed the boundaries not only in tennis, but also…

Working out is very popular in college. At the University of Miami’s weight room, I observed that even though most male students who didn’t work out in high school students are much more likely to work in college, especially if they are in a fraternity. Males took up a majority of the gym and it seems almost all of them were in fraternities because they wore shirts that represented their organizations. All the women were dressed in tight clothing and some had put makeup on and done their hair.…

Heroes do exist. Even if no one in a cape wearing spandex appears to save society when prejudice and wrongdoings occur, there are some that emerge to do just that in more discrete ways. The heroes of today go unnoticed by many and work tirelessly to protect the world from itself. When these mysterious workers are brought into the public eye, they do not receive the praise they deserve. They are, instead, attacked by those in power and labeled as threats. Aaron Swartz was one of these heroes,…

I have chosen to review the Alberta Ballet’s performance of Love Lies Bleeding for my dance production critique. Preceding the show I had relatively low expectations since I am not an Elton John fan and the show was set to his music and was inspired by his journey. Fortunately, my expectations were surpassed considerably. Love Lies Bleeding was a zestful, dynamic, and alluring theatrical experience unlike no other. This production was built on a strong foundation of classical ballet technique…

Introduction. Fabric softeners have been with us when it comes to taking care of fabrics, especially natural fabrics such as cotton and wool. Apart from the well-known fabric softener’s function of softening laundry during the final rinse they have also acquired new applications such as fighting oduors. This therefore calls for fabric softener manufacturers to come up with innovative and attractive scents to further this cause. With many fabric softeners having flooded the market today, it is…

Waiting to die is one of the oddest sensations a person will endure. As I sat, with an unreasonable amount of opiate substance in my body, I began to ponder what brought me to this junction of life and why I had chosen it. The response was simple, It was my birthright. I had been born under a bad sign, during a storm, to a cursed soul. It was my fate. I realized that as I had waived in and out of consciousness. I was damned My mother was a dope fiend. My father was an atrocity as well. They…

Sustainable Development Every year, the population of the world increases more and more and by the year 2020, the population of humans will be eight billion. How can we continuously develop the world around us to benefit our lives, while at the same time preserving natural resources and species? So far, instead of trying to preserve the environment, we as humans have been destroying it in the process of developing our world. By overreaching the sustainability of our world, we have been…

One parent raises a child with an iron fist, but ironically does it with a perfect record of honesty; another parent raises a child with passivity and saturates their lives with lies; in this scenario, which one of the parents is right. Each culture in this world thinks that they have parenting figured out, yet we all can have bad kids that turn into bad adults. As a parent, you have a huge role in creating the path in which your children will travel; they can easily be raised with so much love…

Repellent-Treated Clothing Permethrin is the agent of choice for these products. This is a man-made synthetic pyrethroid, a class of insecticides derived from Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium. Arthropod toxicity is exerted by sodium channel antagonism with, interestingly, strength of effect inversely correlated with temperature. Cold-blooded animals, in general, and fish, in particular, are unusually sensitive to these effects, while humans exposure is generally considered safe. Exposed mosquitoes…
