1) To improve the color experience, through photos moving images, animation, etcetera, leading to the implementation of the FashCP.com as the CENTRAL ONLINE REFERENCE (and POTENTIAL MMPPG) for fashion and ALL consumer products. The ultimate goal is for this online database to become the study guide for a virtual game show to win scholarships for schooling.
TheFashCP.com is 25 years of research, and currently has EIGHT consumer product categories containing Q & A on the history, inventions, inventors, trivia, branding techniques, marketing activities, even food - which inspired branding as we know it. The EIGHTH category - CEO & Technology - has all of the engineering, chemistry, material science, high tech developments, etc.
FOUR other categories spread over the current ones in their relevant categories will concentrate on textiles used in all forms of entertainment, institutional, industrial, and medical industries.
Eventually, online merchandise for TheFashCP.com will include imprinted merchandise of the usual suspects PLUS functionally designed PATENTED consumer products using the behavioral and/or performance characteristics of textiles and other materials.
FINAL THOUGHT ON #1: Textile fibers and other materials are the basis for the product development of everything. GOOGLE https://www.thefashcp.com to see the MISSION and initial thoughts.
2) To get the SHOCK ABSORBING CAP - which is now pending - a Natural Fiber version of a cap which will function in ALL atmospheric conditions because of its behavioral characteristics and will sufficiently serves as a physical and functional SOLUTION to a CRITICAL problem in sports.

Experience

Parsons School of Design - The New School
Retired Part Time Assistant Professor
Lectured on the interactions of the fashion industry with natural and man-made textiles and products available through science and technology because of the movement in this all important "sustainable universe". Students became aware that textiles, polymers, and the periodic table are the cellular structures for fashion, home furnishings, and ALL consumer products.
Also interwoven in these lectures were the various interactions and affects determined by end use, consumer behavior, visual merchandising, marketing concepts, market research, E-commerce, traditional retailing, and the evolutionary "ripples" that are now occurring. In the search for these "next big products" students were told that doing research after figuring out what problem they were trying to solve - particularly in fashion - remains critical.
Present movements lead to the thought that all companies are - or should be - looking to create "THE NEXT BIG THING".
Finally, my lectures were based on 22 years of corporate experiences in the mills as a Textiles Specialist and Engineer in Home Furnishings, and eventually in Apparel.
It is significant to point out here that my trailblazing career and experiences started 44 years ago working for a major man-made fiber manufacturer, and traveled through the era of a lot of "soft" goods manufacturing moving overseas.
After experiencing 3 layoffs, this statistical anomaly chose to stabilize her career by turning to teaching and research.

CREATIVE WRITING: The Risks of RO, The Nusical Motes and the Misterioso Chronicles of Opera Libretto
1982 - present
A)The Risks of RO - detective series first published in 1987 about the first (black) cyber police; B)The Nusical Motes and the Misterioso Chronicles of Opera Libretto. We live in a backwards land and the Nusical Motes are the heavenly emissaries who can help us straighten things out. Since children are generally smarter than adults, with the help of the Nusical Motes they are the guides to the music. The work is a metaphor based on the 23rd Psalms. Donna Avery aka Louisia Fuller
