How Cotemar Is A Large Player In The Mexican Oil Industry

Cotemar is an oil industry company that was established in Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico in 1979. They provide support services to offshore oil drillers. This includes the construction, modernization, and maintenance of the drilling platforms. They also haul materials, both large and small, out to the drilling platforms and offshore production facilities. Additionally, they provide accommodations, catered food, and entertainment to the offshore employees on board of their ships that have been specialized for this purpose. The company is 100% Mexican owned.

As an environmentally responsible company, Cotemar has sustainability initiatives that seek to limit the effect on the environment that is caused by their business activities. They also take their responsibilities to their employees seriously and have implemented the high safety standards that are required in order to keep everyone safe.

The Cotemar ships with catering and accommodation services are popular with the oil drilling teams. In addition to having a nice room to sleep in they are also offered laundry services and people that clean their cabins and common areas. There are a wealth of entertainment options on board including rooms with exercise equipment and a basketball court. There are also rooms that feature the latest movies as well as television rooms.

For many years the only company that could explore for oil and drill it was the state-owned company Pemex in Mexico. In recent years this has changed as the government is now starting to allow private company exploration and drilling for oil. Cotemar, as a company that has been highly successful in the oil & gas industry for many years, was one of the companies allowed to take part in this change.

There are a number of issues that are still being worked through in order to allow company’s like Cotemar a broader presence in the Mexican oil industry. There are land owning issues as well as societal issues that are being addressed. Soon, though, Cotemar is going to start exploration of oil deposits on their own and will be able to sink a pipeline in order to bring the oil to the surface.

Men And Women Fight For Their Rights To Express Themselves With Fashion

There is a lot of shaming when it comes to fashion. As a matter of fact, one of the most common topics of ridicule is fashion. While women seem to have more acceptable forms of fashion, both men and women are often ridiculed and shamed for what they wear. For one thing, women are shamed for when they are wearing revealing clothes. Men are often shamed when they wear something other than a variation of a suit and tie or a t-shirt and jeans outfit. Even wearing a t-shirt that has a slightly different cut is a risk for men, especially when it comes to necklines.

 

The fact still stands that men and women should have the right to wear what they want. When it comes to men, there is a need for more variety in fashion. Therefore, men not only have the right, but the responsibility to embrace the changes that come if it is something they like. Women on the other hand have the responsibility to defend their rights to wear the type of clothing while also defending their personal space. One family is promoting the right to wear the clothes they want and express themselves through fashion.

 

Both men and women are fighting the battle for the right to wear the type of clothes they want. One dream that both and men and women have is the ability to wear the type of clothes they like without having to worry about any labels being thrown at them. Body autonomy is a good goal for the future.

 

The Call For Diversity in Fashion

Fashion is actually a really fascinating world for people who discover it. The only thing is that it is not quite as diverse as it should be. There seem to be limited areas of fashion. For instance, one of the most limited areas in fashion is size. There are a lot of plus sized women that can benefit from a lot of the styles that many stores sell. Unfortunately, they are mostly limited to plus-sized stores. The same can be said for big and tall men. This is especially disheartening because men’s fashion is limited as it is.

 

There are attempts to at least advertise diversity. Among the companies that are advertising for diversity is The Gap. They have done a really good job of showing different people from different cultures enjoying the brand. However, one person pointed out the lack of size differences. Therefore, a lot of the larger individuals may not know whether or not The Gap has anything for them.

 

When it comes to diversity in fashion, Gap is not necessarily a shining example of it. There are other fashion retailers that have a lot more variety for men and women. Among the companies that are more diverse in the styles they have to offer is H&M. They have plenty of items that are hard to find at any other store. While it is possible to find some very unique items online, there are people that prefer shopping in physical stores that could use some really good items.

 

Fashion’s Effect On Mood

When people think about fashion, one of the things they think about is the idea of dressing to impress others. However, it is not just other people that a person’s clothes has an effect on. One thing that few people realize about fashion is that the clothes they wear have a deep effect on them. When people put on a good and stylish outfit, they will notice that they feel a lot better about themselves. At the same time, there are certain outfits that can inspire people to perform better in their field.

 

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of fashion is body autonomy. This is where people get to wear the types of clothes they want and put together a look of their own. This allows them to express themselves and who they are. They also get to wear the clothes that they feel look great.

 

One of the best things about this type of body autonomy is that not only will people feel good, but they will also gain compliments from others. For one thing, compliments mean more when it is on something that they themselves like. On the other hand, when someone gets a compliment on an outfit they don’t like, it does not have as much meaning. In some cases, it may make them feel worse about themselves. This is one of the reasons why it is important for people to always use fashion as a means for self expression. People have to be themselves before they can be happy with themselves.

 

Fashion as an Effective Tool For Self Expression

People have all kinds of ideas when it comes to fashion. This is especially the case when thinking about women’s fashion. A lot of people seem to think that women dress for men and that men are entitled to whatever they want from them. Women often have to put up with some kind of discomfort partially because of these assumptions. The truth is that women dress the way they do for a variety of reasons. Not all of them have anything to do with men. Therefore, it is not wise for men to assume that the well fitted outfit that complements her figure was picked out for them.

 

Among the different reasons that women dress up the way they do is self expression. Women like to wear the clothes they wear simply because they like it. They often think mostly about themselves and how they would feel in the outfit of their choice. Some women just feel the need to express themselves so that they can feel better about themselves. This takes it to another reason that some women dress the way they do. They want to feel a certain way. Different outfits can make people feel different.

 

Fashion is definitely an effective tool for self expression. As a matter of fact, it also has an effect on the psychology of an individual. Therefore, people who are able to dress in ways they want are going to experience a lift in their spirits in the case they are feeling a little depressed.

Larkin & Lacey

There is a place where people who care about the current events in the world of civil rights, especially where matters of immigration are concerned. Actually, there is more than just a place. But, one place in particular is the Lacey & Larkin Frontera Fund. And, this particular online site acts as a link in a chain of networks that fight injustice on sociopolitical fronts across the United States.

Lacey and Larkin do this by distribution of information in current events, when it comes to the political actions of officials like Sheriff Joseph Arpaio and president Donald Trump. But, there is more going on in between the lines of the Frontera Fund than simple whistle blowing. There is valuable advise on what to do in the event that a major or significant immigration case is reopened.

More than that, the Lacey & Larkin Frontera Fund stays current on Supreme Court Decisions whether they are on the state or national level. This remains a constant from the organization, even if the noise on immigration reform seems to almost always come from the state’s arenas. Unfortunately, the news to report is not always on the sunny side, as when new bills are projected to make systems even more corrupt than they are now.

And, then there are other push backs to inform the public on. Such as in cases where courts reverse decisions that resulted in progress for beneficiaries of the DREAM Act and their rights within the state of Arizona. Not to mention, there are still phenomenon such as excesses in force against volunteer groups that need to be read and heard in mass. All these stories and more can be found on the home page of the organization that Mike Lacey and Jim Larkin Co-founded together.

The home site of http://www.laceyandlarkinfronterafund.org is a rich source of a who is who and what is what in the way of statewide civil rights characters working for reform and justice.

At the top of this network, there are names like 1070, Aliento and the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) Arizona. The range of networks and organizations on this site’s list include the aforementioned and more like the Tuscan Samaritans / Los Samaritanos, Trans Queer Pueblo, and The Young Center.

In between those most impressive names, there are other power players for the force of good like the Arizona Justice Project, Arizona DREAM Act Collation, American Immigration Council, Puente, Raul Castro Institute, and Si Se Puede. Of course there are many other organizations connected with the projects Mike and Jim focus on in their professional practice. But, they all have the same goal of protecting and in many ways supporting immigration rights and practices within the US in common.

Fashion and the Dressing Modestly Fallacy

Both men and women are being shamed in different ways when it comes to fashion. However, women are being shamed in a way that is similar to censorship. There is this idea of dressing modestly where girls and women are often being looked down on because they wear skimpy clothing. However, there is one family that has done away with this idea. Jessica and Jeremy Martin-Weber is the family that has adopted a different approach to how people in their family will dress. Their approach is based on body autonomy.

 

There are a few reasons why there are no lectures on dressing modesty. Among the reasons is that modest clothing has proven to be subjective. Jessica has noticed that any clothing that is worn by her and her daughters can be considered unacceptable. She has decided that dressing modestly as a concept is an attempt to control the bodies of women.

 

As the champion of body autonomy, Jessica wasn’t always so adamant about fashion modesty. She has tried to teach her children about why they should dress modestly. However, a tragic event occurred that has changed her outlook on what modest dressing is. Another interesting phenomenon with her children is that they always pick respectful outfits anyway. One thing that they mention is that their fashion is a form of self expression. They wear what they think is representative who they are and how they feel. This is one of the best ways for people to explore and eventually learn to love themselves.

 

Men Can Find Unique Items In Fast Fashion Stores

There are a lot of differing opinions on fast fashion. However, this seems to be the only way for many men to find some unique items. Stores like H&M often carry some of the most unique items of stores in the malls that they operate in. They also have a wide variety of items that extend beyond the color and the print. While many stores that sell men’s fashion try to use silly sayings in order to pass it off as unique, H&M instead looks towards the way they cut the fabric. They make sure that they provide unique shapes in shirts for men.

 

Among the differences in designs that H&M offers are clothes that are far removed from the boxy styles of most men’s clothing. For instance, there are some t-shirts that are longer in the back then at the front. Also, the bottoms of some of the t-shirts are rounded out as opposed to being flat.

 

Most men are still a little nervous about branching out. One thing they should know is that they don’t have to go all out in what they wear. They can add a bit of uniqueness to their outfit like Justin Trudeau did with his fun socks in an other wise conventional suit and tie. It is amazing what something as small as this detail could do in order to bring forth some kind of personality. The key to fashion and clothing is for one to find items that make him feel the best.

 

GAP’s New Ad Focuses On Diversity But Misses One Mark

Diversity has long been a big issue when it comes to playing fair in the fashion world. Often times, too few women and men of color are used to model top designs. GAP is trying to change that with a brand new TV ad that visually and effectively brings a lot of famous folks together in every sense of the word in the iconic brand’s jeans and white tees.

 

There’s just one major flaw that many have noticed, and that pertains to the issue of size. Where is the diversity in different body images in the “Bridging the GAP” campaign?

 

The famous faces and figures dancing in the ad feature stars like Wiz Khalifa, Adwoa Aboah, Jasmine Sanders, Fernanda Ly, Christie Brinkley, Priyanka Chopra and others. They’re all happy and rockin’ out to the classic song “Sunny,” and it’s a feel good moment:

 

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain. Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.

 

You can catch the one-minute, eight-second GAP commercial here on YouTube.

 

The campaign was directed by Edward Enninful who is British Vogue’s editor-in-chief. He believe the stars in the ad embody American culture today.

 

Wiz Khalifa is also featured in a behind-the-scenes GAP moment video where he chats about being an individual and doing his thing when it comes to personal style. If he wants to tattoo his face, he can, etc.

 

So, why didn’t the fab commercial include people of larger size?

 

If plus-size women represent 67% of the female population and identify with that body shape, then why the heck was this diverse body size not given a presence in the brand’s ad?

 

GAP has tried answering the question. A spokeswoman for the brand says the ad celebrates individuality with diverse backgrounds.

Courageously Bringing Change to Men’s Fashion

Men’s fashion has been at a stand still for more than a century with very few people attempting to bring change. While there has been attempts in earlier eras such as the 70s and the 80s, things have quieted down in the late 90s. Fortunately, there has been efforts being made to bring diversity to men’s clothing. There have also been efforts made by men to express themselves with fashion. More men have been taking an interest in fashion. Not all of them want to be dressed conventionally well. There are some men that want to step out of the comfort zone and bring forth something that is very unique to their tastes.

 

Among the people that are actually daring to put a little more effort into their appearance is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He wears unique socks which are on display. He is one of those people that are bringing a lively image to the political arena. He is stepping out in courage and trying to bring forth some kind of self-expression into his work.

 

One thing that can be frustrating for men that are into fashion is that it can be rather hard to find something that is unique and that they like. For those that do find a store that has what they like, there is still the possibility that it might close on them. It takes a lot of effort to find a store that offers anything other than the same old suits and ties.
