This was a replacement to the leather ones; the first chinstrap was made to help protect the chin better than what the old leather ones had which was a strap. It was many years later the first facemask was put on but only due to a player having a broken jaw but caught on the next season. They slowly started adding pads that can be aired up. In the 1990’s they introduced the VSR, became very popular and is still used by older players till this day.

A “bob” hat advertisement similar to this one would be a familiar sight to many women during the 1920s. During this time period, the bob hat or cloche became a classic. The cloche was bell shaped at the top and had decorative additions such as feathers, geometric shapes, and flowers, which would showcase a woman’s demeanor. As said on vintagedancer.com, there were other accessories that women wore on their heads such as wrapped turbans, short crown straw hats, and an array of different headbands. These hair accessories became popular during the 1920s because of the way it worked with new hairstyles such as the bob. A cloche’s structure would frame the face of the women who wore them. In many cases women would not leave a store without ensuring

Who invented shoe laces? The Shoelaces true inventor is still a mystery. on March 27th, 1790 although there was no actual inventor of the shoelace it was thought that Harvey Kennedy invented the shoelace. Although he invented a part of the shoelace ,he was not the inventor of the shoelace itself. Harvey Kennedy invented the aglet, the piece of plastic or metal that keeps the shoestring from coming undone. The early shoestrings go back about 28,000 years ago starting off with straps of leather, to being placed on a nice pair of Timberlands or a clean pair of retro Jordan's.

One hairstyle, known simply as “the bob,” would be at the center of this great debate. First introduced during the Great War, the bob haircut would eventually cause a revolution in the way women would wear the bob forevermore. It all started in 1915 with the introduction of the Castle Bob, named after the acclaimed ballroom dancer Irene Castle. While cutting her hair for convenience, little would she know that she would forever be linked with triggering a revolution in 20th-century hair fashion. The Castle Bob would be the first indication of the rage of short hair. The bob haircut was simply a hair cut leveling with the bottom of the ears all around the head. It was worn either with bangs or with the hair brushed off the side of the forehead. It was a simple look but an oppressive departure from the long feminine looks created by Gibson and Marcel. http://www.hairarchives.com/private/1920s.htm

African American women's health, hair politics, and physical activities. Studies show that African American women tend to pay more attention to their hair instead of their health issues. Researches came up with a theoretical argument to figure out why hair matter for some women. They discover that hair presents a barrier to exercise in that the time and economic restrictions involved in maintaining a hairstyle post exercise for physical activity as prohibitive. This study provides some perception about the relationship between hair and health for African American women and suggests that extra attention is justified to address views about beauty ideals and hairstyles as a barrier to exercise (Versey, 2014, p. 2015)

The city of Chicago has been displayed as a dangerous city in which all residents are affiliated with drugs, gangs, and misconduct of firearms. Whether someone fits into this stereotype or not, is normally based on their surroundings and their interactions with others. Growing up in Gage Park, named one of the worst neighborhoods, falling into this stereotype and becoming affiliated with drugs, guns, and gangs, would not be too hard for someone to do. However, I have lived in Gage Park my whole life and have not fallen into the status quo. I have had family members and friends fall into this realm of unpleasantness and watching them become another wrong kind of statistic is upsetting. I have been faced with the decision of continuing to have

Hair modification is a century old tradition for all ethnicities. The focus of this research paper will be the benefits of natural hair versus relaxed hair within the African American hair community. My position on this issue is that the natural state of hair is inherently better than the processed relaxed state of hair, even though African American women continue to relax their hair the outcome may be extreme.

Wicca, Shamanism, Ásatrú, Neo-Druidsm, Celtic, Native American, you know about all of them, or if not a few, but there is a path that combines them all.

The African-American culture includes many things such as clothing and music. However, the highest beauty standard for black people is hair. Kinky, curly in other words “nappy”, is an important aspect of the culture. It is as if it tells a story about where we came from and the troubles our ancestors faced on a day to day basis. Their hair is multicultural, meaning that there are several types varying from straight to extremely tight curls.

When I once decided to take out my protective style and wear my hair in its natural state, I received several negative remarks. As a young black female I was bothered and wondered why. I wondered why I was receiving so many negative remarks especially from my fellow Black women. An individual went as far to tell me “your hair looks nice but do not wear that to a job interview”. Hair and the styling of it has been a staple of the Black community for centuries. In African American culture, an individual’s hair spoke volumes about that person. By looking at a person’s hair, one could tell where that person was from, what tribe he or she was a member of and even the status within that tribe. As time progressed the influence and importance of hair

Tie-dye is one of the oldest forms of fabric manipulation and design”(Crazyfads.com). Tie-dyeing is based on the traditional art of folding or tying fabric to create resists that stop the dye from being absorbed into parts of the fabric, thereby forming unique patterns of color. Often people use tie-dye to create a design on white fabric During the 60's, the hippies' revival of old ethnic crafts resurrected the art and put a new spin on tie-dye. “The hippie' tie-dye was no subtle handicraft-they tie-dyed with several colors, layering one on top of the other for wild bursts of color and crazy visual trips. Hearts, peace signs, bulls eyes-anything could be done with a little creativity. Tie-dyeing became the ultimate sign of the times”( Crazyfads.com - Fads of the 1960s). The 80's brought back tie-dye when a new generation pulled out the outrageous Deadhead shirts their parents wore when they were kids. Parents passed down this knowledge by turning t-shirts, and other clothing into colorful panels of fun. Though it wasn't a popular thing , tie-dye was a style of choice for 60's relic and people who just wanted a little fun in their

This quote can also give the reader a lot of insight to what kind of person Grant really is. This quote portrays him as being a very selfish man and this character trait is shown throughout the entire story. Grant refuses to do anything that does not benefit himself including going to educate a dying man because he feels that it is not worth is education. Grants selfish ways are also shown with the way he treats his girlfriend Vivian.

The quote also analyzes him as being a very angry bitter man. Grant gets angry with his aunt for asking him to do something simple for her but he feels this is too much for

There has been a notable amount of conversation on the internet on the rebirth of the natural hair movement. Cherise Luter (2014) states that despite afros and the natural hair movement not being a new concept (i.e. the Black Power Movement), it has gone under what she calls a “refreshing change”. Furthermore, what used to be “I’m black and I’m proud”, has been replaced with “I’m me and I’m proud” (Luter 2016). So, what is the natural hair movement? It is defined as a movement where black women decide to not conform to the social norms of chemically altering their hair and wearing it in its natural, kinky, or curled state (Joignot 2015). The movement could also be considered as an outlet for black women to display their racial and cultural pride or to articulate their “political position (Brown 2014:297). However, simply the terminology “movement” is something that should be shocking to many. There is a great amount of historical context behind the continuous influence Eurocentric beauty ideals have had on black women for centuries. According to Nadia Brown (2014), Black natural hair throughout history has proven to be recognized as “either unintended or intended personal and political statements” (298). the beauty standard in Western society which praises European hair textures, has influenced many black women to be critical of other black women who choose to chemically straighten their hair, accusing them of being subservient to the dominant and pervasive racist

Delving into the Trinity Grammar haircut saga, during the crisis phase, there are several concerns which enraged the stakeholders, namely the School Council’s decision to sack Brown, its passive attitude, and empty promises. While the trigger event was unstable, the suddenness and negativity impacted attribution. Using the three attribution dimension, the Trinity Grammar haircut saga dons a high personal control, low external control, and a locus in the actor which could strengthen the perception of intentional actions by the School Council (Coombs 2004, p. 268). To interpret the situation, crisis communicators should resort to the assessment of crisis type in order to correctly specify the emphasis of evaluation (Druckman, cited in Coombs 2004, p. 269). Brown’s dismissal falls under the ‘challenges’ crisis type in the accidental crisis cluster, for the stakeholders are not convinced that Trinity Grammar is operating in an

One of the rules and regulations in the school is the haircut policy. Government makes and implemented laws and policy to ensure the safety of every students. They implemented School policies that can reach a long term goals in protecting students life inside the school grounds . Haircut policy in school is very important because it is one policy that can build discipline among students. The Department of Education (DepEd) has a long-standing policy that governs good grooming. This includes prescribing a so-called proper haircut for male pupils in both private and public schools “the prescribed haircut for boys is at least one inch above the ear and three inches above the collar line.” (Quijano , 2011).
