Top 3 Dresses for a Bride Who Want to Seem Elegant

Hello there, I’m Soyoon Noh who is studying people’s body shape because I am interested in becoming a fashion stylist. These days, I am interested in weddings, so I started studying wedding dresses. Now, I’ll recommend three elegant dresses for those who are looking for a wedding dress. Before the wedding, read my blog and to see the most elegant bride in the world!

Everyone has a different body shape so I will divide it into four main categories…

 

FIRST: a broad-shouldered person or a narrow-shouldered person.

SECOND: a thick-legged person or a thin-legged person.

THIRD: a thick-waisted person or a thin-waisted person.

LASTLY: a tall person or a short person.

 

Now, shall we choose the dress that suits you best?

 

1. A-line dress

 

A-line dress is the most popular and most famous among brides. A skirt that spreads naturally from the waist down to the bottom gives a natural and elegant look.

 

The design with a high waistline and a natural spread of skirt covers the bride’s legs and makes her look at her upper body. The dress is suitable for most people. I recommend those brides who do not know the features of their body shape. In addition, it is recommended for a bride with chubby legs, short legs, and large breasts.

 

2. Mermaid dress

The mermaid dress, reminiscent of the Little Mermaid, is much more elegant and feminine than other dresses. From the upper body to the knees, it sticks to the body, making it look like a charismatic queen.

I recommend it to those who have a thin waistline and a large pelvis because it shows all the curves of a body. However, I do not recommend a short and thick waistline bride because tight-fitting dresses highlight shortcomings. In addition, if you wear a dress with a low back, it can be more beautiful than anyone else by showing your back.

3. Empire Dress

 

The empire dress is a high-waist dress that spreads naturally under your chest. The waist is not highlighted, it is very popular with pregnant brides, and the design that falls gently makes the bride beautiful and elegant.

 

I recommend it for those who are curvy or pregnant brides because it does not emphasize the waist. Also, I recommend it for short brides because it is a high-waist design that makes their legs look long. However, I do not recommend it for those who have a big upper body because it makes a big body.

However,

You are the most beautiful and elegant bride in the world.

 

Thank you for reading my blog!

 

Thermos Challenge

Thermos Challenge

Soyoon Noh and Daniel Han

Block D

 

a)Prototype testing procedure

For all the prototypes, we poured a set amount (150ml) of boiling water (about 100 ℃) and checked the temperature drops every 5minutes for a total of 20 minutes. We chose not to stick a thermometer into the thermoses for the whole experiment time because we thought the holes made from this will cause extra heat loss. Out of the prototypes we chose a thermos to test on the final day.

b) Summary of each prototype 

 

#1

Materials list and cost

Paper cup x 1 ——————- $ 0.50

Styrofoam cup x 1 ————- $ 0.85

Aluminum foil x 16 inch² —— $ 0.80

Plastic wrap x 15 inch² ——– $ 1.50

Hot glue x 10 unit ————– $ 0.50

Total —————————— $ 4.15

※ The cost of a zip-lock bag was counted with the price of plastic wrap.

Results of test

00 min = 92 ℃

05 min = 82 ℃

10 min = 78 ℃

15 min = 70 ℃

20 min = 62 ℃

Total: -30 ℃

Pros: Outlook is creative. The aluminum foil is wrapped inside the cup, so heart of hot water is prevented from escaping.

Cons: The lid is high and uncomfortable. It has a wide berth. Overspend money($1.15).

Progression: Keep the air from escaping by lowering the lid. To close without a missing part. Saving money.

 

#2

Materials list and cost

Paper cup x 2 ——————- $ 1.00

Styrofoam cup x 2 ————- $1.70

Tape x 5 inch² ——————- $ 0.25

Total —————————— $ 2.95

Results of test

00 min = 91 ℃

05 min = 84 ℃

10 min = 78 ℃

15 min = 73 ℃

20 min = 67 ℃

Total: -24 ℃

Pros: Outlook is creative, and the lid is better than first one. The function is okay for the price.

Cons: A lot of space between paper cup and styrofoam cup because we tear a styrofoam and then we put it.

Progression: Don ‘t tear a styrofoam cup, and use other things. Th keep temperature.

 

#3

Materials list and cost

Paper cup x 1 ————————— $ 0.50

Styrofoam packing chips x 8 ——— $ 0.80

Styrofoam cup x 1 ——————— $ 0.85

Tape x 2.5 inch² ———————— $ 0.13

Aluminum foil x 12.6 inch² ———– $ 0.63

Total —————————— $ 2.91

Results of test

00 min = 93 ℃

05 min = 86 ℃

10 min = 81 ℃

15 min = 77 ℃

20 min = 75 ℃

Total: -18 ℃

Pros: Its ability to keep the heat was vowed good. Very light and easy to make. The body of the thermos was not hot as all.

Cons:  Overspend money($o.65).  Aluminum foil could not keep the thermos completely sealed.

Progression: We have to usr less materials or find other materials to replace  styrofoam cup.

 

Final Product

On the testing day, we chose to use our final prototype, prototype #3.

150 ml of water was boiled and poured into our thermos. We removed the water from the hot plate when the temperature was over 105 ℃. However, when we checked the temperature of the water poured inside, it measured 98 ℃. After the check, we closed our aluminum foil and timed 60 minutes. The final temperature of the water was 47 ℃.

Our main focus on the designs of the prototypes was a double-layered structure made by piling up two different sizes of cups. This created a space between the outer cup and the inner cup.

The reason why we chose this structure is that while researching about how real thermoses work, we found out that they are mostly built up of two layers of metal sheets. Also, the space between the sheets of metal was a vacuum. This is obvious because if there is nothing to transfer the heat, only radiation of heat will cause heat loss. To prevent even a small amount of heat transferred outside by radiation, thermoses are often plated with silver which reflects the heat inside.

All this information came down to our final product. Since we couldn’t make a perfect vacuum, we chose to stuff materials with high heat capacity inside the cup. At first, we glued the upper parts of the cups together and made the inner cup float inside in a sene. This was to make the inner cup not touch anything but the air inside. Although the approach was creative we were not satisfied by the result. For our final product, we stuffed little styrofoam packing chips inside the space between. The lid was simply made by cutting aluminum foil into shape because we thought it can do a similar job of plating silver. I think our final product is very knowledge-based and shows how real thermoses work like the double-layered structure and reflection of radiating heat.

My contribution to this project
Our group only had two people including myself and therefore, the individuals had to cover various parts in this project. I think that Soyoon and I did the almost equivalent amount of job and very happy with the result. Specifically, I did my research, designed and built prototypes and was in charge of the final prototype organizer sheet and the engineering design process sheet.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Physics

Inquiry Question: How Does a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner’s understanding of physics (Levers) make him or her more effective?

If you know the principle of leverage, you can win regardless of your weight. Knowing where the body’s support points are and where to give the force can break the opponent’s arm or leg, or surrender the opponent. Therefore, the jujitsu is associated with the physics.

 

Why does Jiu Jitsu follow this progression? 

Jujitsu is a movement that breaks down the opponent’s balance and attacks after lying on the floor.When the opponent is lying on the floor, part of the opponent’s body can be called a lever, and the opponent will tap when you pull or push of part of opponent’s body. Therefore, it is easy to compare a person’s body with a lever if you know the principles of leverage.

Why does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu want control?

Jujitsu is the first to quickly identify the opponent’s weaknesses and strengths, and to use them to surrender the opponent. If you have control, you will lose less power than the opponent, and if you are caught by the opponent, you will be able to get out quickly. Having control would easily overpower on the opponent.

 

 

Wristlock. An armlock in grappling is a single or double joint lock that hyperextends, hyperflexes or hyperrotates the elbow joint or shoulder joint. An armlock that hyperflexes or hyperrotates the shoulder joint is referred to as a shoulder lock, and an armlock that hyperextends the elbow joint is called an armbar.

A kneebar (also known as legbar, kneelock or hiza-juji-gatame) is a leglock that can hyperextend the knee. The basic kneebar technique is similar to that of an Armbar. The practitioner then applies pressure with their hips, forcing the opponent’s leg to straighten, hyperextending the knee joint.

The americana lock, also known as the bent armlock, keylock, top wristlock and figure four armlock in catch wrestling, or ude garami in judo, is a common grappling submission consisting of the attacker controlling his opponent’s arm (bent in an “L” shape), by using a clever double wrist control which leaves the adversary’s elbow and shoulder joints vulnerable to the submission
