CLASSROOM TECHNOLOGY

From paper and pen to computers and keyboards, From chalk and blackboards to stylus's and
smartboards. Technology is taking over the classroom setting, And when it works, no one is
regretting the new classroom trending. Computers crashing, internet malfunction, Students complain
about the disruption. Technology is taking over the classroom setting, and when it doesn't work,
everyone is regretting on the new classroom tranding. Technology is fast and sparked up a trend,
but for the classroom it must halt to an end. Technology intertwined with the old fashion, is a great
idea and everlasting.
“Violence in the media has been increasing and reaching proportions that are
dangerous,” said Emanuel Tanay, MD, a retired Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Wayne
State University and a forensic psychiatrist for more than 50 years.
“You turn on the television, and violence is there. You go to a movie, and violence is
there,” Tanay told Psychiatric Times. “Reality is distorted. If you live in a fictional world,
then the fictional world becomes your reality.”
The average American watches nearly 5 hours of video each day, 98% of which is
watched on a traditional television set, according to Nielsen Company. Nearly two-thirds
of TV programs contain some physical violence. Most self-involving video games
contain some violent content, even those for children. 1
Asked about the hundreds of murderers he has examined and possible links to
media violence, Tanay said, “Most homicides are committed by people who know
each other, and who have some momentary conflict and have a weapon handy.
Usually only hit men, who are very rare, kill strangers.”
The 2 teenage boys who murdered 12 schoolmates and a teacher and injured 21
others at Columbine High School in Colorado before killing themselves, he said,
lived in a pathological environment. “Their lives centered around violent video
games.”
Most fast food, including drinks and sides, are loaded with carbohydrates with little to no fiber.
When your digestive system breaks down these foods, the carbs are released as glucose
(sugar) into your bloodstream. As a result, your blood sugar increases.
Your pancreas responds to the surge in glucose by releasing insulin. Insulin transports sugar
throughout your body to cells that need it for energy. As your body uses or stores the sugar,
your blood sugar returns to normal.
This blood sugar process is highly regulated by your body. As long as you’re healthy, your
organs can usually handle these sugar spikes.
But frequently eating high amounts of carbs can lead to repeated spikes in your blood sugar.
Over time, these insulin spikes may cause your body’s normal insulin response to falter. This
increases your risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and weight gain.
Many fast food meals have added sugar. That means extra calories without added nutrition. The
American Heart Association, which referred to people as either men or women, suggests only
eating about 100 calories or 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day for women or 150 calories or 9
teaspoons for men.
Many fast food drinks alone contain more than the daily recommended amount of sugar. A 12-
ounce can of Coca-Cola contains 9.75 teaspoons of sugar. That equals 140 calories, 39 grams
of sugar, and no other nutrients.

With the growth of fast food restaurants and use of convenience food the notion of
Americanization of diets is also growing. Government and food industry are working to develop
the need of certain basic foods to reduce the international food shortages and nutrient
deficiency problems. The trend of eating away from home is increasing and the proportion of
money spent in restaurants has also increased.

On Clothes
Kahlil Gibran (Bsharri, Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate) – 1931 ( New York City)
And he answered:
Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful.
And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy you may find in them a harness and a chain.
Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your raiment,
For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind.
Some of you say, “It is the north wind who has woven the clothes we wear.”
But shame was his loom, and the softening of the sinews was his thread.
Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean.
And when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Chinese Designers Are Taking Centre Stage
The rest of the world is finally paying attention.
By Renée Tse
Date December 27, 2021
Global luxury brands may still be trying to figure out the one-size-fits-all equation for tapping
the elusive and prolific consumers in China, but Chinese designers have always had a leg up on
understanding what their country’s consumers are looking for — especially during the pandemic.
There’s no question that many still lust after the latest and greatest from international luxe
brands, but for today’s Gen Z shoppers, mixing cool emerging local designers with their
Chanels, Diors and Bottega Venetas has never had so much clout. With two Chinese designers,
Rui Zhou and Shuting Qiu, among the 20 names shortlisted for the semifinals of this year’s
LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers (a.k.a. one of the most prestigious fashion awards), a
new crop of designers is making waves by showcasing their talent and personality — and the rest
of the world is finally paying attention.
Take note of the following seven Chinese designers, including Next in Fashion alum Angel Chen
and up-and-coming N.Y.-based talent Private Policy. If they’re not on your radar already, they
should be.
As one of the nine finalists for the 2021 LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers (and the first
Chinese designer to make it this far!), Rui Zhou has been a recent editorial favourite for daring It
girls. (See Dua Lipa on Rolling Stone’s February 2021 cover and Blackpink’s Lisa on Nylon
China’s January 2020 cover.) Known for her sensual asymmetric cut-out knitwear pieces held
together by tiny pearl beads, Zhou, a Parsons MFA graduate, is not only drawn to the idea of
imperfection but also showcases her own identity as a Chinese immigrant living in New York
City — navigating life abroad while maintaining long-distance relationships with her friends and
family back home in China — through her designs.
LI NING of LI-NING
Former Olympic gymnast turned athleisurewear designer Li Ning founded his performance-first
label in 1990. Today, it’s known for its innovative designs and authentic tribute to Ning’s
nationality. (See the Chinese characters and traditional prints woven into the designs.) Although
not new per se, the sportswear brand was initially sold exclusively by luxury retailers in China,
but the global market took notice of its elevated and reconceptualized athletic designs for
everyday pieces — from clothes to footwear — and it has since been at the forefront of
performancewear and athleisurewear.
You may recognize this Central Saint Martins graduate as one of the inaugural contestants on
Netflix’s Next in Fashion. Chen was one half of the much-loved Dragon Princess duo; Minju
Kim, the other half, went on to win the show’s design competition. Although Chen, a Shenzhen
native, didn’t win the $250,000 prize, her bold designs, technical expertise and sustainable
practices certainly caught the attention of the world, including Canada Goose. The Canadian
outerwear giant tapped Chen to be its first-ever guest designer to create a capsule collection last
spring, which did so outstandingly well that she updated the assortment for fall.
After making their marks at Simone Rocha and Gareth Pugh, London College of Fashion MA
graduates Liushu Lei and Yutong Jiang joined forces in 2015 to start their Shanghai-based
womenswear label, Shushu/Tong. They design for the edgy modern young woman who is
playful and girlie at heart, so expect to see unabashedly feminine details (read “ruffles, bows and
tulle”) paired with bold silhouettes, adorned hardware and timeless tailoring techniques in their
collections.
Founded by Chinese immigrants Haoran Li and Siying Qu, Private Policy is a New York-based
genderless brand known for its progressive and inclusive approach to fashion designs.
Combining Li’s know-how of fabric manipulation and Qu’s love for silhouettes, the Parsons
graduates use their collections as a medium to tell stories and start discussions on topics they are
inspired by; for example, for their Fall 2021 collection, they looked to the history of Chinese
immigrants in America during the 19th-century gold rush. With no set rules on who gets to wear
what, Private Policy is all about creating that playful Club Kids edge while giving the wearer the
freedom to customize their look.
Shanghai-based designer Shuting Qiu quickly became a talent to watch after graduating from the
Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. After her designs were featured on Mandopop singer
Jolin Tsai’s Ugly Beauty album cover, Net-a-Porter and Chinese-based retailers like Joyce raced
to stock the Hangzhou native’s colourful and eccentric designs. Qiu is influenced by world
cultures and paintings, and as a result, her designs are filled with vibrant colours, intricate
embroideries and bold patterns. We’re not surprised to see the likes of Katy Perry and Rita Ora
as fans of the brand. The two pop queens have been spotted in her looks — Perry even wore a
full look on the cover of her EP Cosmic Energy.
Recognized for her traditional meets contemporary designs and for intertwining delicate Chinese
aesthetics with modern functionality, Xiamen-based designer and London College of Fashion
alum Min Liu has been much loved for her creations since founding her brand in 2010. The once
womenswear-exclusive brand recently dipped its toes into the world of menswear with the debut
of Xian Sheng. Fittingly named, the line consists of tailor-made pieces inspired by traditional
Chinese motifs and Shanghainese tailoring for the modern gentleman. And the expansion doesn’t
stop there. Being an interior enthusiast himself, Toronto-born president and Xian Sheng creative
director Ian Hylton told Vogue Business that the fashion brand is hoping to expand into the
lifestyle arena.
