New Goals

When considering a fashion school you need to do a significant amount of research to find the one that fits your needs. You should not necessarily trust one that claims to be the “best”. The word “best” is relative to your needs. The following standards may help you when doing your research.

1) Cost – the most expensive fashion schools are not always the best. High cost does not necessarily equal high quality. Like any higher education or training program, fashion school will not be cheap. However, remember that some schools want to appear to be better simply because the carry outrageous fees. Instructors – some of the most prestigious fashion schools hire famous personalities as instructors. This offers some schools a tremendous advantage when recruiting students. However, competition among the more famous personalities may create a distraction.

2) Location – a person studying fashion does not have to go to Europe but location should be considered. Fashion schools located in more progressive cities may be more up-to-date on the world of fashion. Of course, this may mean moving considerable distance from your hometown. The cost of living away from home should also be considered.

3) Prestige – magazines and television feature information on some of the more prestigious fashion schools. It may prove beneficial to research some of the lesser known fashion schools and find people who have attended them. Seeking testimonials from graduates of these schools would be an excellent way to find more information on a particular school.

4) Instructors – some of the most prestigious fashion schools hire famous personalities as instructors. This offers some schools a tremendous advantage when recruiting students. However, competition among the more famous personalities may create a distraction.

5) Alumni – as mentioned earlier, research people who have attended the fashion school you are interested in attending. Seek information on how many graduates of the school have actually found work in the fashion industry.

Utilizing these standards may help you narrow your search for the fashion school that is going to train and inspire you to reach your full potential. Sacrifices will have to be made along the way, but hard work and dedication will help you achieve your goal.

Light, sunlight, temperature, humidity, soil, and other cultural factors are necessarily of a general nature, because the plants with which we grow come from all parts of the world and have widely varying natural growing needs.

Daylight

Animals and humans have digestive juices and a complicated apparatus for transforming food into energy and growth. Plants have chlorophyll and roots. The roots take up food from the soil. The chlorophyll uses water, carbon dioxide from the air, and light to manufacture starch (which later becomes sugar) on which the plant lives and grows.

This is, of course, an oversimplification of a complicated botanical phenomenon. But it helps to explain the importance of light. Without it, and without enough of it, plants starve – not because of insufficient food, but because of inability to use it. This is the reason why few plants will live, and none will look lush for long, in a dark hall or on the top of a coffee table ten feet away from a window.

Intensity of light is important, and the intensity needed varies according to type of plant like for example the african violet plant. The amount needed by each type depends on the light available in its natural habitat. Consider, for example, the philodendrons, usually regarded as requiring less light than most plant groups. The vining types were first found climbing and draping trees in Central and South American jungles – but not in the dark. If you measured the light, you would find it far brighter than that in an awning-shaded window, for example.

This brings us to a frequent question – which window exposure is best for plants? There is no rule to go by. It depends, first, upon the window – its size, whether it is shaded by a tree or the house next door, and even whether it is in a city or country house, in winter or summer. In Connecticut a north-facing window in the country where air is clear, if it receives no shade of any kind, will usually provide good light for foliage plants, but little sunlight except for a short period in midsummer.

In the same situation, in summer, an eastern exposure has good light and sunlight in the morning; western, in the afternoon; and southern, the most sunlight of all. But move the window farther north, or into a sooty city; or shade it with even the high branches of a tree, and light intensity decreases. The farther south it moves, the more intense the light and the more hours it is available every day.

Always look at the lighting, intensity and period of light when placing plants indoors and outdoors.
