May is recognized as Asian American and Pacific Islander month and this year staff collaborated to create an exhibit in the Bohachevsky Gallery of female outfits from Asia and the Pacific. Thanks to the contributions of Laura Calub, Daena Hall, Winnie Ho, Delphine Olson, Mai Nguyen, Rebecca Rios, Chaya Satish, and Pisey Var we were able to display 13 different outfits. Latha Anand, Anitha Purushothaman, and Vaidhehi Sridhar also had outfits to contribute. The places represented in the exhibit are Cambodia, China, Hawaii, India, Japan, Pakistan and the Philippines. Assembling the exhibit required steel cable cutting, drilling, sawing and crimping (no outfits were hurt!).PIO prepared the print materials for the gallery. If you are interested
Throughout time clothing has been an important part of individual’s lives often reflecting one’s culture and personality. People use clothing to express themselves and to help others see who they are. One particular group of people that uses dress as a way to express who they are and how they feel are black women. In the seventies black people were finally allowed to attend mostly white universities, although this was a huge step forward, black women did not feel like they fit in. Black women and men decided to turn to clothing and their appearance in order to find a sense of self in a world surrounded by whites. Tanisha Ford presented “Liberated Threads: Black Women, Style, and the Global Politics of Soul” explaining why dress matters to black

I do beleive Hope is a necessary force. I personality believe that individuals should believe in "hope" so they can have a change. If someone that is suffering from a substance abuse and does not have hope they will not be able to leave the addiction because their is no hope. If somoene does not beleive in hope they can look at hope as a change for themselves. Another force that might be consider instead of hope can be change. Many individuals might not have a belief so change might be another force for effective group counseling.
With the play Baby in the bathwater by Christopher Durang, you can find within the story the dark humor of some very serious situations. The author uses it to bring a little fun and light to the life of Daisy and her parents. It has twisted situations at goes throughout the whole play from calling the baby a baked potato to the dog eating the baby. I can honestly say I would love to meet the person who wrote this just to get into his mind of what he was thinking at the time.
For centuries, women’s position in society has been in a state of flux as they fought for their rights. Likewise, fashions around the world have also been in a constant state of change. In America in particular, the clothing styles of women have changed at a rapid pace, from colonial-era aprons and bonnets to bustles, little black dresses, and bell bottoms. As the roles of females in the United States shifted from the mid-1600s to late 1900s, so too did the fashions, evolving to meet American women’s ever-changing needs.
It was time to put all of the research I had done in the form of an exhibit. Before doing the exhibit, I made a layout of what was most probably going to go on my final poster. Even though I had the layout, I still encountered some problems. I would have had run into so many more problems if I hadn’t done the layout, so I am glad that I did it. Right before putting my project together, I quickly went to the store to get the materials like the poster board, glue, clay for the artifacts, etc. Now that I had all the materials, I was finally set to complete the enormous project. One of the problems I encountered was that I didn’t have enough room on my poster board for everything that I needed. Because of this, I decided to reprint some of the items, so that I could fit everything. Another problem I ran into was that I could not fit my title on one page, so I decided to print it on multiple pages and just glue them together. After I was finished with cutting and pasting, I realized that I did pretty well. I also realized that after I finished my project that I did not have to color the sketch of a train that I drew because most of my pictures were black and white anyway. After finishing my poster board, I had to create my 3D artifacts. I decided to make a replica of the locomotive part of the Transcontinental Railroad out of cardstock, a small part of the railroad tracks out of clay, and a
Juan, upon reading your essay, I can clearly say I genuinely enjoyed your entry, mainly the way you tied in your thoughts and feeling with each passage. From a personal standpoint, I’ve been curious about many of my favorite Game Developers, especially from Epic Games. Bleszinski was from an era of designers and developers that inspired me to further my experience with 3rd person shooters and further my interests to dive into this career choice head on.
Flakka is the drug that originated from Florida, not only in Florida but signs of drugs use have been found in Ohio and Texas. Flakka, which gets its name from Spanish slang for a thin beautiful woman ("la flaca"), contains a chemical that is a close cousin to MDPV, a key ingredient in "bath salts. “Since September 2014, hospitals, doctors, police, and fire rescue crews in Florida have seen patients with symptoms and signs that include bizarre behavior, agitation, paranoia, and delusions of superhuman strength. The man-made drug causes a high similar to cocaine. But like "bath salts," a group of related synthetic drugs that were banned in 2012, flakka has the potential to be much more dangerous than cocaine.

Black women were always known for their since of style and to this day are still looked upon as role models for fashion. Their styles range from the “button up” to the “flawless elegant”. Many of these styles are currently being worn today throughout the world by women of all different “colors”, shapes and sizes. “…It is important for us to understand how
“You are to die by lethal injection, but if that fails, we’ll kill you by electrocution. If the power goes out, we’ll hang you. If the rope breaks, we’ll take you out back and shoot you.” Such cruel words were astoundingly said by the judge at Greg Wilhoit’s sentencing. On May 31, 1985, Greg’s wife Kathy was tragically murdered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After one year, Greg was charged with Kathy’s murder because of insufficient evidence provided by two dentists, who claimed that bite marks they found on Kathy’s body matched Greg’s teeth. Although Greg tried all he could to prove his innocence, unfortunately, during the trial, his attorney showed up drunk in court. As a result, Greg was sentenced to death without any DNA evidence. But several
I am so disappointed. But what can we do? U Bonnie is resting in peace and I think we need to respect what has been decided by the kids.
The 1920’s fashion was a period of liberation, change, and even more importantly a movement towards the modern era. Fashion in the 1920’s varied throughout the decade but one could see the noticeable change from the previous fashion statements and eras. At the start of the decade, women began emancipating themselves from the constricting fashions by wearing more comfortable apparel. As women gained more rights and World War I forced them to become more independent, flappers came to be, mass-produced garments became available, and artistic movements increased in popularity, one can see how the fashions from the roaring twenties characterized the time and redefined womanhood.

Throughout the 1920s through the 1950s Women’s clothing in America was affected by World War II, which lead to the exploration of different styles, the encounter of new trends and the exchange of ideas and new styles.
Western clothing for women truly made its mark in Japan after World War II. The women began wearing Western-style dresses, because they were less expensive and easier to care for than kimonos (The World Book Encyclopedia [J], 48)
