In his painting, Lake Superior Landscape, George Morrison uses a combination of the visual elements line, texture, and color with the principles of design of repetition and visual unity to create an intriguing, abstract take on the traditional landscape painting.
A Hmong story cloth or Paj Ntaub, is a textile art that is embroidered and practiced by Hmong men and women to record and retell the stories of my Hmong community. And when I was little, I found one of my grandmother’s unfinished story cloths. It was raggedy, stained in one corner, and smelled of mold and mildew. The pink and green threads that were once so bright had become tangled and faded as it simply trailed of the embroidered art. On this story cloth, it told the story of desperate Hmong refugees crossing the Mekong river from Laos into Thailand. Regardless of so, the stained and unembellished cloth could no longer finish its own story as my grandmother’s hands became unable to handle the fine needle art. I picked it up knowing that I was holding my Hmong community’s history in my hands but threw it away without acknowledgement of who I was. Without realizing it though, I became the very person to continue embroidering its

Daughter of the Lake is a film that shows the life in a tiny village in the Andes that has been run dry due to gold extraction. The mine extracts not only the gold, but also the village’s water supply. Water is an important resources for for everyone in the village and, for selfish reasons, villagers are being raped of their resources. The director was able to show the great impact of their water source going away by focusing certain cinematic shots on wells that have run dry and on their land that now looks dry and arid. The film not only shows the direct impact of the people in the village going thirsty, but also how mining contributes to the deforestation and pollution of the world we live in. The people in this village have an important
The State of Georgia’s largest lake, Lake Lanier extends for some 38,000 miles, with roughly 700 miles of breathtaking shoreline.

The construction of Lake Lanier was completed in 1957, with the creation of Buford Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the south end of the lake.
The Battle of Lake Trasimene is reviewed and analyzed to extract military lessons learned for use by military commanders when planning operations. The scenario preceding the battle are identified and the battle itself is outlined in chronological order. The successes and failures of Hannibal Barca and Consul Gaius-Flaminius are deconstructed and evaluated.

An alternate outcome for the battle is proposed and analyzed by conducting scenario-driven backwards analysis. The hypothesis of the validity of the alternate outcome is tested against facts and reasonable assumptions which provide parameters

Smooth, oval rocks lined the bank of the secretive lake. Discarded and neglected; overlaid with spongy moss and choked by fallen, decaying leaves from the unclothed and withering trees above. As the lake swelled around the ashen boulders, icy, black water lifelessly lapped against the long, thin beams of wood holding up a rickety pier. The structure was covered in splinters and ragged, iron nails, and as it reached out into the centre of the sombre lake, it became more and more distant. Half-cut beams lined the sides of the pier, as nettle patches hissed from the shore when the water drew too near. Small, stagnant puddles, on the uneven planks of timber wood reflected the dark, brooding sky above - rarely disturbed by the callous slices of moonlight seeping through the clouds, creating a specular reflection through a ripple in the languid water.
This critique is a reflection of Strategic Industry Analysis of clothing Industry in United Kingdom, Italy and France.

African aesthetic plays an intricate role in Caribbean fashion. It combines various colors, patterns, and fabrics which the Caribbean is known for. As a result, over the years Caribbean fashion relies heavily on African influences. Such influences are attributed by slavery, creolization and conformity. In the 17th century the first dress was the uniform of the estate afforded to those working and resident on plantation farms. Drab in appearance, three yards of either brown, grey or blue were worn as a wrap-around becoming a tunic with three holes catered for the head and arms. As a belt, a length of rope was tied around. To protect them from the harsh sun that ferociously beat down and for comfort, plantation slaves wore wide brimmed straw hats and a head scarf while the house slaves tied a piece of cloth around their heads. Over time inspired by their combined traditions, dress evolved into saris and
