Aerie is a well known lingerie for women by American Eagle. Aerie first started in the year of 2006. This initiated a line of undergarments for women between the ages of 15-25. In early spring 2014, Aerie launched their newest campaign of the time, “Aerie Real”. The purpose behind this campaign was to discontinue using supermodels and digitally retouching its models to start encouraging self-body positivity. And through this abrupt change, “the company has shocked the fashion industry through…

The Great Storm There was once a historic fight between the greek wind god and the sea god, which resulted in the creation of the natural disaster we now call hurricanes. The people would explain the great storm (hurricanes) as a fight or argument with the wind and the water god back in the Greek times. The argument first started with who would be able to do what? For example, who would create the storms and control over them?, or who would the storm go where? This ended in a argument against…

OUTLINE Hurricanes are enormous storms which have winds exerting great force upward and inward at very great speeds like 100 to 200mph. Every hurricane can last for over a week. A hurricane is a bit different from the usual cyclone. Cyclone winds have a very low speed of 9km. Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are all the same but with a different name. Meteorologists predict the changes in the weather and use different tools to measure changing condition in the atmosphere. The most common…

Appraisal My link to the strand is Syncopation and my composition is written in a reggae style. I like the offbeat feel of this style of music and syncopation was something I wanted to explore within it. A well-known Caribbean musician is Bob Marley and I know that he uses a lot of syncopation in one of his best songs “three little birds”. In this song you can hear the syncopation in the hi-hat, cymbals, organ and guitar; playing the chords. In this way, he plays with our expectations of where…

Hurricanes Hurricanes form when warm ocean water evaporates into energy. When the water vapor condenses it sends out energy. The energy builds up and drives the wind of the hurricane Once the hurricane is overland the energy reduces. Hurricane winds are not as strong as tornado wind. Hurricanes can last days. Hurricanes are hundreds of kilos wide. Hurricanes can cause big waves that can cause flooding. Tornadoes Many layers, of the tornado go in many different directions and speeds. Between…

Hurricanes and tornados are both forms of natural disasters that have the potential to cause great devastation. They are caused by the unpredictability in atmospheric environments. A common delusion is that they are the same type of system, but with a different name; however, this is far from being true. Hurricanes and tornadoes have similar traits, but they also have many differences. Although they both share similar makings and features, they are different structures altogether. Both…

My research on this essay is that concerning the use of a measurement scale in court cases in order to define and understand the competence of an individual charged. Through this, there is the possibility to assess if they are capable of understanding the crime committed, and, in a sense, the ability to know their ‘right from wrong’. It is my opinion that such a measurement would be inaccurate, and would be incapable of altering its standards and applicability for every person individually. The…

All of these tests really opened my eyes on some topics involving communication that I am really good at and some that I really need to work on. When I took the Verbal Immediacy Scale test, I thought I would pass it with flying colors because I’ve always been really good with how I approach certain conversations and how I talk to individuals. I got a score of 40 which is not the greatest. After reading all the questions, I realized that maybe I was not as good as I thought. I am initially a very…

In “Isaacs Storm” Isaac Cline is telling stories of what happened during the storm, and the aftermath of it all.…

evaluate their patients coping abilities. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any models or assessment tools directed to the risks and strengths around hardiness, resilience and vulnerability in HF clients. I chose to focus on the Cardiac Depression Scale (CDS) because of the choice of questions used. How the individuals answer each question could be used a good indication of their risks and strengths around hardiness, resilience and vulnerability. As mentioned early,…
