Food additives vary from common food ingredients like sugar and salt to the uncommon ones like acesulfame-potassium and BHA. These additives maintain freshness, add flavor and prolong shelf life of processed foods. Although they are considered safe in amounts typically consumed, some food additives may have a negative impact on our health.
This is also known as Acesulfame-potassium and it is an artificial sweetener that is about 200 times sweeter than sugar. It is used in baked foods, diet sodas, sugar-free gum, mouthwash and toothpaste. Consumers should avoid acesulfame-K because animal studies suggest it may affect the thyroid and cause cancer. In 2008, research published in "Preventive Medicine" found that consuming artificial sweeteners for over 10 years is associated with development of urinary tract tumors. Also a study in the journal "PLoS One" in 2013 shows that if pregnant women drink artificially sweetened soda during pregnancy it could increase the risk of asthma and allergies in children.
This is another artificial sweetener found that can be found in 6,000 products, and has been associated with cancer. According to an article published in 2014 in the "American Journal of Industrial Medicine," the widespread use of aspartame and its possible role as a carcinogen in both epidemiological and animal studies calls for action of regulatory agencies to re-evaluate use of aspartame.
Food Colors
Brightly colored foods like candy, carbonated drinks and gelatin desserts contain food colors manufactured from chemicals that should be avoided. This include food colors like Blue 1, Blue 2 and Red 3 which have been associated with cancer in animal studies; Red 40 causes allergy like reactions; Yellow 5 allows hypersensitivity and hyperactivity in children; and Yellow 6 with adrenal gland and kidney tumors in animals. Caramel coloring gives color to cola products, baked products, sauces, chocolate products, and beer. It contains two compounds, 4-methylimidazole and 2-methylimidazole which are known to cause cancers in animals. Amounts of these chemicals in caramel food coloring often exceed guidelines.
Chemical Antioxidants
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) and propyl gallate are three chemical antioxidants added to fried foods such as potato chips and vegetable oils. They inhibit rancidity in fats and oils as they increase shelf life of processed foods. Be aware that these food additives may be possibly associated with cancer in experimental studies. Therefore consume as little as possible of foods made with these chemical antioxidants.
Man-Made Fat
Adding hydrogen to vegetable oil forms a butter like food ingredient which is known as partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and it contains trans fats. Trans fats raises risks of cardiovascular diseases and deaths as a result of heart attacks more than saturated fats does. Avoid foods that contain partially hydrogenated vegetables oil by always reading the ingredient list on food labels. Olestra is a man-made fat that gives fried foods such as chips the taste and look of regular chips, without adding to the calorie intake as it is not digested in the body. Olestra does not only inhibit absorption of fat-soluble carotenoids from fruits and vegetables but it could also cause flatulence, cramps and diarrhea that can be severe in some cases.
Sodium nitrate and sodium nitrites are common preservatives used in processed meats in order to maintain its red color and prevent bacterial growth. This includes hot dogs, luncheon meats, ham and bacon. Consuming foods rich in nitrates and nitrites can increase risks of cancer as a result of the formation of carcinogenic compounds called nitrosoamines.

Yesterday was weigh-in day, but I want to give you an update on Dad first. I also want to thank everyone who prayed for him, sent encouraging vibes or encouragement….I love you for always being here for me…thank you.
Dad is home from the hospital now, and he did not have a stroke. The doctors think that he had issues due to medicine that he was taking. I'm not sure that I buy that, but I'm a thousand miles away…and I'm not a doctor. He's still coughing so much that he has trouble getting through a phone call, and he sounds tired. He still insists he's fine, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop worrying right now so please just keep the prayers coming. Thanks.
In other news, I'm down another 2.2 this week which means I'm still headed in the right direction…finally. I've worked out 6 out of the last 7 days, and I was so sore last night that I decided that my body needed rest. Today I'll do cardio, but I'll give my body another day of rest from weights and floor exercises.
Last night I bought my first container of whey protein powder so I'll try it in a smoothie for breakfast today. After posting about the Weight Watchers smoothies, several of you noted that protein powder would be better so I'll see how this goes. Do you drink whey protein shakes? I plan to add milk, spinach, strawberries and a banana, and I'm guessing that it will leave me feeling full and satisfied all morning. We'll see.
And one more thing…My friend, Janna, and I are hosting a Valentine's Day Swap, and we'd love to have you take part in it with us. If you're interested, check out the details here, and don't forget to sign up by Tuesday! Do you want to be my valentine? <3

BARNSTABLE — Two Hyannis men with long criminal records have been indicted by a Barnstable county grand jury in connection with a string of electronics thefts, according to the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office.
Willie Brown, 68, and Todd Germaine, 57, are each charged with larceny under $250 by false pretense; receiving stolen property under $250, subsequent offense; and common and notorious thief.
The common and notorious thief designation can result in a prison term of up to 20 years for multiple offenders.
The two allegedly stole several scanners from Staples stores in Orleans, Hyannis and Falmouth and two water pumps from West Marine in the fall and early winter and pawned them at Cash Point stores in Hyannis and East Falmouth.
Germaine, who also goes by Germaini, had 336 entries for stolen-property offenses in Massachusetts at the time of his initial January arraignment in Falmouth District Court, according to the police report in the court file. Brown had only one entry in Massachusetts but had a multi-state record that included charges in Delaware, New York, Illinois and Rhode Island, including forgery, stolen-property offenses and robbery, according to the court file.
Friday's indictments move the cases to Barnstable Superior Court.

Philipians 4:11-13 "...for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
I love this passage of Scripture. Such encouraging words. As I have listened to so many pray over the years, and heard people give encouragement, I have often heard Phil. 4:13 quoted. It is one of those verses we hold onto, sometimes for dear life, when things get rough. But even more than the way it encompasses "everything", I love this verse in context of what Paul is saying.
He's thanking the Philipians for their concern for him. Most likely they had sent him a gift, probably money, to support his ministry. He goes on to talk about how he's not asking for more; He knows that he'll be taken care of. Then he speaks of contentment. His statement "I can do everything through him who gives me strength," is in direct reference to being content in any and every situation.
The reason this strikes me is that we often use this encouraging phrase when life is really hard, and things seem to go from bad to worse. But what about everyday life? What about when you have to get out of bed in the morning and it seems like the hardest thing in the world? What about when you have a family to feed and you feel you just can't go to that same old job again? What about when your spouse and your children are the last people in the world you want to wake up to? This is what Paul is speaking of: everyday life. If we can learn to rely on God in the everyday things, how much easier will those once-in-a-lifetime catastrophes be?! We have to practice contentment and trust on a regular basis, so we can stand firm when the storms of life rage.
In our society it is so easy to become discontent with what have. There's always something or someone better. We compare ourselves to the proverbial "Joneses", and we never have enough. It's sad really. The enemy keeps us so preoccupied with what we don't have or what we hate about our lives, we scarcely have time to enjoy the wonderful things God has chosen to bless us with. 2 Peter 1:3 tells us that God has given us everything we need for "life and godliness". This is the truth. We have all we need. And when we don't, we need not fear, only stand firm and remember: "my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

(I have NO idea who they might be talking to.)
Hello my lovlies! Thanks for stopping by! I am happy to say I've spent the last 3 hours at happy hour with the squad. We went to Andina's in the Pearl and had maaaaany yummy cocktails and tapas. You should go! And if I could remember, or spell for that matter, any of the stuff I had--you'd be the first people I'd tell. So the GARTIPOC (Great American Road Trip Including Parts of Canada, duh!) Part Two will be coming tomorrow when my brain is operating without the maniacal case of the giggles which is exactly what pretty drinks served in martini glasses will do to me. That and make me think I can salsa dance.
But! In the meantime, this has been so "me, me, me!" focused--drop me a comment about where your favorite happy hour place is. And let's make it about YOU for today. I like to think of it as, "Instead of What SSG can do for you, what can you do for SSG?"

BOSTON, Mass. – Led by Josh Lopez (New Haven, Conn.) and Nick Herzog (Riverhead, N.Y.), baseball cruised to their second-straight win of the week as they handed Suffolk University a 14-4 loss Thursday afternoon at Monan Park.
UMass Boston 14, Suffolk University 4
UMass Boston (17-10)
Suffolk University (21-12-1)
Lopez and Herzog combined for six of the Beacons 16 hits, with the senior duo also accounting for five runs, while driving in three more. Herzog extended his already impressive hit streak, as he has recorded at-least one extra base hit in his seventh-straight game. The senior outfielder led-off the bottom of the first inning with a thunderous triple, before picking-up a second one late in the contest.
Lopez, who returned to the Beacons line-up just a few short days ago, has made an immediate impact. The senior second baseman was one of three Beacons to record a double, with Eddie Riley (Quincy, Mass.) and Nick Cotraro (Beverly, Mass.) both recording two doubles in the win.
The Beacons pitching staff made quick work of the Rams as Joey Rogers (Dighton, Mass.) made his first start in over a month. In three innings of work he allowed four runs, one earned, on six hits, while striking out one. PJ McKermitt (Chicago, Ill.) earned his first win as a Beacon after three impressive innings out of the bullpen. He allowed just two hits over three scoreless innings, which allowed the Beacons bats to blow the game wide open.
Kevin Sinatra was handed the loss after giving-up 10 runs, all earned, on nine hits in just three innings.
Suffolk's only runs came in the top of the first and third innings, as they scored a pair in each frame. The Beacons scored at-least one run in every inning but the final two. They quickly erased the early two-run deficit with three runs in the bottom half of the first. They then made it a 6-4 ball game through three complete.
From there the Beacons expanded their lead quickly, scoring fourth in the fourth, one in the fifth, and three in the sixth.
- With the win the Beacons have now won eight of their last 12 meetings with the Rams
- Kyle Boudrias (Medford, Mass.) extended his hit-streak to 23 straight games with a single
- In total, the Beacons pitchers allowed just two walks, while striking out five
The Beacons will face Western Connecticut State University tomorrow at Monan Park at 12 p.m. in a Little East Conference doubleheader. The Colonials will be the home team for both games as the game was moved to Boston duo poor field conditions in Danbury, CT.


text: Share: Comments Print May 21, 2010 at 9:41 AM Sweet and condensed news and notes this Friday morning Posted by Joshua Mayers Wrapping up a long week of training before Saturday's home match against San Jose. Let's get to the links: Here's my story on the versatile Brad Evans, whose ability to play anywhere has kept him from becoming an established center midfielder. There were a couple league games last night. Columbus — without the suspended Guillermo Barros Schelotto — went on the road and beat New York 3-1, though the Red Bulls hit the post three times. Los Angeles was similarly without its stars Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle, but beat FC Dallas 1-0 on the road. The Galaxy have double the points of the nearest competitor in the Western Conference. In your USMNT news: Oguchi Onyewu talked about his road to recovery and here's a Q&A with ex-Sounder Brian Ching. In could-be USMNT news, Giuseppe Rossi could be headed to England or Italy for next season. In the meantime, ESPN talked to the league website about a potentially controversial magazine cover of the young kid. A couple advertisements for your video entertainment. 1. First, another Nike epic with cameos galore. This World Cup spot is so good it doesn't even need sound (feel free to watch it at work). 2. Second, an off-the-wall little Pringles ad. Or should I say Pringoals? Oh man… Comments

2015 Rugby World Cup
18th September 2015
Emily Robertshaw
The 8th Rugby World Cup tournament kicks off today with England's Pool A match against Fiji being held at Twickenham, the iconic venue of English rugby. Spectators will see 20 nations competing in the tournament from all around the globe, including Namibia from the Southern Hemisphere to hosts and Northern Hemisphere sides England and Wales. Matches will be played over a period of approximately 6 weeks; 13 venues across 11 cities will have their opportunity to shine in front of the cameras and visiting supporters when it comes to their turn to host a match.
To give you an idea of the popularity of the World Cup, 950,000 tickets were sold during the general sale in September 2014 with England Rugby 2015 receiving more than five million applications for tickets! The Rugby World Cup 2015 is expected to bring in more foreign visitors to England than to any other Rugby World Cup and in addition, the event has a television of reach of approximately 4 billion people as it will be broadcast to a phenomenal 207 countries! This means that organisers will have gone to extraordinary efforts not only to give visitors a glimpse into the local culture but to cater for non-English speakers.
Sports translation and interpreting
As specialists in translating sports literature, we know that at an event like this, translation and interpreting are of high importance. Match day brochures, leaflets and programmes need to be translated to help visitors understand all of the statistics and event listings. Moreover, translation is required for all local tourist attractions, for instance, guides on what to see in Twickenham or Cardiff should be accessible in the languages of visitors. Interpreters will be present during guided tours of the stadiums to enable foreign visitors to have the same experience as those with an English mother tongue.
However, it cannot be done half-heartedly, as demonstrated when former All-Blacks star Ali Williams faced criticism during a French interview, claiming his comments were "lost in translation". Professional translation and interpreting during an international sporting event is key to ensuring complete foreign visitor satisfaction and a long-lasting legacy afterwards.
If you'd like any further information on sports translation do not hesitate to get in touch by contacting email@example.com.

Apple Day is so exciting! I had TONS of fun things planned and I am excited to share them with you, too! Apples are such a great topic to teach because we can integrate all subject areas and even do some taste testing.
On Apple Day, we invited students to wear plaid shirts and jeans. When they got to school, they kicked off their shoes to look like Johnny.
We made these sweet pot hats and proudly wore them all day.
Next, read about Johnny Appleseed. Here are all of the books we read this week.
Bad Apple by Edward Hemingway
The Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree by Gail Gibbons
Johnny Appleseed by Stephen Kellogg
The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall
Apples for Everyone by Jill Esbaum
Apple Fractions by Jerry Pallotta
Apples, Apples, Apples by Nancy Wallace
Johnny Appleseed by Jane Kurtz
The Biggest Apple Ever by Steven Kroll
Apples by Gail Gibbons
A was Once a Apple Pie by Edward Lear
Annie, the Apple Pie Fairy by Tim Bugbird
We watched a video about Johnny Appleseed, too.
Johnny Appleseed |Folk Tale Time | A Cool School Folk Tale
I love to incorporate videos into my lessons to give students a real-world view and tap into multiple learning styles.
Here are a few videos we watched:
Way Up High in anApple - Apple Song for Kids - Children's Song by The Learning Station
Apple Field Trip toWay Fruit Farm-- Port Matilda, PA
Planting an AppleTree with Harry Kindergarten!
After exploring the outside and inside of an apple, we made these adorable 3D apple diagrams complete with labels of the parts of an apple.
|This is from my Apples Bulletin Boards resource on TpT.
Next, students wrote acrostic poems about apples and made this craftivity.
The apple diagram, acrostic poem and bulletin boards are available here.
After apple tasting, we made glyphs about apples using this key:
Then, we made a graph showing our favorite way to eat apples.
This graph {and the glyph} are included in my Apple Follower Freebie resource.
After that, we had STEM time. We wanted to launch pieces of apple. The students did SUCH an amazing job collaborating, communicating, using compassion, critical thinking and creativity!
We ended our day painting apple prints. It was messy, but the students adore paint so it was worth it.
What a fabulous, busy day! It was jam-packed fun {and exhausting for me} but hearing, "This is the BEST day ever" made it so worth it!
Want the hat, graph, and glyph? Get it free here!
Please let me know what you think! I would love to know what you do to celebrate apples in your room, too. Also, be sure to subscribe to my blog so you get all the updates and freebies in my newsletter!

Ever since superheroes took to the small screen, costume designers have been trying to find a way to bring comic book costumes to life. Since what works on the page often doesn't work on a living human, they tend to have their work cut out for them. Often, even despite their best efforts, the results end up looking too campy, too unrealistic, or too sexualized for middle America audiences sitting at home. This is especially the case with female superheroes, and we'll be looking at the worst of the worst on this list.
RELATED: Dressing Down: The 15 Worst Female Costumes In Superhero Cartoons
Fashions change with the seasons, and superheroes tend to fall victim to these trends. Capes tend to age the fastest, and the regret comes the quickest. Nonetheless, these butt-kicking ladies still manage to leave an impression on their respective television shows. First up, a ground rule. Each of the ladies on this list are separate characters in their own right but at some point they put on a mask and/or took up an alter-ego in order to get involved with crime, either to defend against it or perpetuate it. Otherwise, it's open season on terrible fashion. Starting now.
SPOILERS for Smallville, Batman, Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow, Daredevil, both versions of The Flash, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and Birds of Prey.
Lois Lane isn't usually known for fighting crime in a mask, but audiences got to see just that in Season eight of Smallville. During the 19th episode of the same name, Lois started wearing a mask to fight petty crime after she fought off some muggers who attacked her friend Chloe Sullivan. Since her weapon of choice was the stiletto heels in her hand, Lois started using the name.
It doesn't last long, and the fighting is only part of it. Her costume is a shiny, squeaky mess of pleather with an over-dramatic cape and impractical heels. Lois might have been staying on brand, but it makes fighting increasingly difficult as the night wears on, even to the point where Lois makes a joke about it in the episode itself. In the end, the costume looks about as cheap and impractical as a look for one episode is usually meant to be.
Lorelei Circe, or The Siren, appeared in two consecutive episodes of season three of Batman, which aired between 1967-1968. The episodes, "Ring Around The Riddler" and "The Wail Of The Siren" first introduced Lorelei as a partner of the Riddler to fix boxing matches. The next episode had Lorelei use her hypnotic voice to learn Batman's identity and then hypnotize him in order to acquire Bruce Wayne's immense wealth.
This plan ends up working about as well as her outfit during her time on the show. Clearly the costume is inspired by ancient Greek fashions with a silver rope coiled in her hair and wearing a toga that looks like it's made out of a space blanket. However, it's still pretty dignified in light of the rest of this list.
No, you didn't read that wrong. Kara Kent is the version of Supergirl who made several guest appearances on Smallville during season seven, eight and ten. During her time on Smallville, she definitely had some costumes that seem to be based on the familiar blue-red-yellow pattern, but the results were... not so super. However, this entry is focused on Kara's costume when she debuted as "The Maiden of Might" in the season ten episode "Supergirl."
In that particular episode, Kara's costume is more inspired by the comics than anything else, with a blue cropped top and red skirt with matching boots. However, since there's no uniting element and everything looks like it's made out of cotton, the costume ends up looking like it was schlepped together from a clean laundry pile.
Okay, okay, Smallville will get a break after this one but it's another example of nobody really being able to pull off Black Canary in a way that everyone enjoys. Alaina Huffman played Dinah Lance in this version, and first made her debut in the eleventh episode of season seven, entitled "Siren." She wears different outfits in later appearances, so the first one is the focus here.
Smallville often fell victim to trying to make the Hot Topic version of superhero costumes out of normal clothes to underwhelming effect. In Dinah's case, her supposedly stealthy outfit had bright yellow racing stripes and Wrestlemania eyeshadow functioning as a mask. The Daisy Dukes and fishnets were a callback to a more classic version of the costume, but by then it's too little too late.
Sara Lance earned her stripes by becoming a fan favorite on Arrow before becoming a lead in her own right on Legends of Tomorrow. She's been a member of the League of Assassins to moonlighting as the Black Canary's predecessor in the alleys of Starling City. However, it's her identity as the White Canary that gets her on this list.
The CW has been criticized for its affinity for leather-clad superheroes, and all of those points are evident here. The worn white leather looks perpetually dirty, even before she's ever been in a fight. Secondly, the cut of the bodice between the neck and the waist looks baggy and unfitted. This is probably in order to give actress Caity Lotz full range of motion for stunts, but in reality the entire top needs to be remade.
Dinah Drake is the second incarnation of Black Canary on this list and on Arrow. After the death of Laurel Lance, the original Black Canary with a better costume, former police officer Dinah took over the mantle when Team Arrow recruited her and her super-sonic scream. She spent most of her appearances in season five as a solo vigilante, but since she eventually got a proper mask, we'll count her field clothes as a costume.
Again, the live-action series falls victim to trying to make vigilante street-fighting look realistic through the costuming department. In Dinah's case, she's been stuck in the same black leather jacket and jeans all season. This makes her look boring on screen, or like the budget wouldn't allow for the design of another costume.
Elektra Natchios didn't make an appearance until the second season of Netflix's Daredevil, but the wait ended up being well worth it. Elodie Young's portrayal was nuanced, complicated, and more than a little sadistic. However, her costume was anything but.
Daredevil's tone was always trying to stay more on the side of realistic (even inside the MCU) with the portrayal of violence, so it makes sense intellectually to make Elektra's costume more muted and able to blend in. However, when she's constantly being paired in battle next to a man in a scarlet suit with literal devil horns, she looks like the one out of place. The only distinctive part of her costume is the red mask she wears on her face, but the effect is more like she's just pulled a turtleneck sweater over her head.
When The Flash introduced Dr. Caitlin Snow as one of its principal characters in the pilot, viewers were waiting in anticipation to see if she would follow in the footsteps of her comic book counterpart. There Caitlin Snow was known as Killer Frost, a metahuman with ice-cold powers and an on-brand style to match.
Unfortunately, this costume is made up of a wig stolen from the Daenerys Targaryen makeup trailer and shiny blue fabric with plunging necklines, which is a complete 180 degree shift from Caitlin's normal wardrobe. This was probably inspired from the costumes made in season two for Earth-2 Killer Frost, but those worked because the metahumans were campier and meant to seem removed from our reality. On Earth-1, she just sticks out like a sore thumb.
Now that we have a second live-action Wonder Woman adaptation, it feels fair to aim at least some criticism at the TV series that started it all. Wonder Woman, a.k.a. The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, will always be a classic, but it's probably best the original costume serves as inspiration for later costumes. Costs need to be cut on pretty much any project, but unfortunately the costume has aged the worst out of all of these.
The strapless bodice is covered in tacky-looking lycra as defining features, and making arguably the most powerful woman in comics run around in glorified panties was a problem from the beginning. Furthermore, Diana's bracelets and tiara look like they're made out of gold-painted tin foil than objects made to defend mankind.
Nowadays, the 1990 version of The Flash is probably best known as inspiration for the still-running 2014 version by casting its Barry Allen (John Wesley Shipp) as both Henry Allen and Jay Garrick. However, fans of both series may remember Mark Hamill's turn as the maniacal Trickster. He's had a number of sidekicks over the years, but the one who makes this list is Zoey Clark's Prank.
Zoey is actually the second Prank in the 1990 show, being an obsessive fan of Trickster who builds her own costume to become his partner in crime. The loud and mismatched colors are a big reason that the skintight leotard hasn't aged well. In the end, the biggest reason is that it looks like an ugly one-piece bathing suit with a cheap cape attached.
Kendra Saunders was only included on the first season of Legends of Tomorrow and even in those 16 episodes, she doesn't spend a whole lot of time in the Hawkgirl costume. Given that the Legends are meant to be moving discreetly through history, this is probably for the best.
The bodysuit part of Kendra's costume isn't terrible, despite being uncomfortably shiny. The biggest accents of the costume end up being the silliest: the wing-shoulder pads and the helmet. The feathers jutting out from Kendra's shoulders should be unnecessary given she's got the real thing. However, since CGI is expensive, that doesn't happen very often. Therefore, when her wings don't appear, the pads remind you what you're missing and seems like overkill when the wings are present. The helmet is inspired by the comics, but it ends up looking more like Wolverine's mask from Marvel; something that was wisely cut from every live-action adaptation.
Believe it or not, the reappearance of a character portrayed by Laura Vandervoort on this list was entirely coincidental. This is Indigo, a secondary antagonist on CBS' Supergirl. She appears in a few episodes in the first season (changing to sister network CW) before getting axed in the finale. Given that she's tangentially related to Brainiac, it's possible that Indigo might return in some form or another. Let's just hope it's with a new costume design.
This costume would have been lower on the list by virtue of being too boring to look at: a lycra catsuit with two colors that look almost exactly the same and a barely distinguishable gauntlet on one hand. However, because Vandervoort's visible skin has been painted the same shade of blue, it looks like the costume is meant to blend seamlessly with Indigo's physical body. Because this wasn't accomplished, Indigo looks like a villain from the original series of Star Trek.
2002's Birds of Prey live-action television series will probably go down in history as one of the worst comic book properties adapted for anything (on television or otherwise). It was a cavalcade of bad decisions made worse by the trends of the time and what producers thought would resonate with fans. Birds of Prey had a lot of problems in the costume department but the show's protagonist got it the worst.
Helena Kyle (biological daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle) works as Huntress, arguably the only legitimate vigilante in the show. However, one could be forgiven for thinking she's a vampire cosplayer with the gauzy cape with a wide, raised collar. The rest of the outfit is the same low-cut leather bodice and thigh-high boots used in any other sexualized female costume.
This is stretching the definition of the word "costume" a bit, but since Dr. Harleen Quinzel is revealed to be the main villain of the series, wearing this outfit, which is clearly meant to harken back to the harlequin outfit that mirrored the famous sidekick's name. It's necessary to this plot twist that Harleen seems like a non-insane person, and that's why this outfit is saved for the end.
Granted, the leather skirt with shapes cut out of it was something that was allowed in 2002, but the real travesty is the top. Maybe the costume department thought a live-action version of the Batman: The Animated Series costume would be too much, which is probably true. So why did they make the only recognizable influence be the diamond pattern on her collarbone? Why does it show skin? Would that be too frumpy?
Super Spidey Stories premiered in 1974 as a part of the CTW series Electric Company and therefore isn't a property in its own right. Since this was a sketch show targeted at small children that lasted around five minutes (often narrated by a pre-fame Morgan Freeman, believe it or not), it seems a little mean-spirited to criticize it when even Marvel wasn't making money on it.
Nonetheless, Queen Bee is the silliest costume on this list and looks like it was most difficult to act in. The half-human, half-mutant bee supervillain wears hilariously huge goggles that look impossible to see through, and is buried in huge pieces of fabric in order to make her cape look like wings. The actress, Hattie Winston, is is drowning in fabric, which looks nearly impossible to move in. The costume is made even sillier with the tiara on her head, presumably to remind everyone that she's the queen. Naturally.
Which female costume on TV do you think is the absolute pits? Let us know in the comments!

A blowout home loss at the hands of the Virginia Cavaliers has many fans of the Boise State Broncos wondering exactly where the program is headed.
Quick. Who can name the last time the Boise State Broncos had a losing season?
Maybe you know right off the top of your head. Maybe you had to Google it (like I did). Or maybe you consider a losing season occurs when the Broncos "only" win eight games. Whatever the case, the answer happens to be 1997.
That's one Houston Nutt of a lifetime ago. Many players on the 2017 version of the Broncos weren't even born yet.
Twenty years. Through Fiesta Bowl victories, head coaching changes, all-time great players at multiple positions, huge upsets and blown opportunities, the Boise State football team has found ways to earn more wins than losses.
Twenty years.
It had been 16 years since the Broncos suffered a non-conference home loss of that proportion before Friday night. Not counting a 2005 bowl game, Boise State won 65 straight (conference and non-conference) home games from 2001-2011.
Looking at the college football landscape, 75% of the programs would kill for that type of sustained success. Many find it close to acceptable to get into a bowl game every couple of years.
Guess what? Ebbs and flows are going to happen, especially when you are rebuilding with such a young team. And in 2017, Boise State has exactly that, all while still dealing with the proverbial target on their backs.
A national program with credit to give
Thrust into a national spotlight in January of 2007, the Boise State Broncos have continually sat in the top tier of what is now considered the Group of Five.
The Broncos are provided with national exposure, given prime time slots, and generally still viewed as a national threat. Perhaps we've reached the nadir, in which the program lacks the tenacity to rise up every week.
Imagine taking the field–with the program's resources–on a week-to-week basis knowing that every week the opposing team is going to do whatever it takes to knock you off.
It's the same type of attitude Boise State used to knock off the Oregon's, Washington's and Oklahoma's of the world.
Opposing coaches and programs see the recognition Boise State gets, they know of the legendary blue turf, and want nothing more to take this team down.
And maybe–just maybe–not enough credit is be given to these teams when they beat Boise State. Instead, we often hear "Boise State blew that one" or "the Broncos let the game slip away".
These statements are true, to an extent. Winnable games have slipped away. Blame it on resting on their laurels, a lack of preparation or unfortunate bounces. All have had their moments in the last five seasons.
Credit can be given to a Wyoming, who found the right people at the right time in combination with a bad Boise State outing. Or Air Force, who clearly has a mental edge (and yes, Air Force has given the Broncos trouble. Even in the Coach Petersen days).
Washington State, Virginia, Baylor, Oregon State, and BYU have all claimed victory over Boise State in the past five seasons. All winnable games and all losses to teams who aren't named Louisiana Tech or North Texas (yes. Boise State lost to these teams in the last 20 years).
Tempered expectations
Should expectations be lowered? No. The dreams of getting back to a big bowl game or beating teams from the power conferences should be in the realm of possibility.
Those possibilities aren't going to always be there, especially in the wild world of college football. These are young adults out there, still growing and still learning, leading to what can often be the unexpected from week-to-week.
The losses can be frustrating and disappointing especially in games that should have been won. It's part of the joy and depression of fandom.
There is a standard of winning expected at Boise State. The players and the coaches will be the first to tell you that was not met on Friday night against Virginia. It may very well serve as a wake-up call for a team who finally hit rock bottom of a stretch of games dating back to last season.
Many considered the program to be in disarray following a 3-2 start in 2014. That season ended in a Fiesta Bowl victory. I'm not saying that is on the horizon in 2017 but the Mountain West title is very much in play.
Changes might be in the air. And an attitude and energy shift needs to occur from "who we used to be" to "what we need to do". If the attitude trends positive, the climb back up the hill is not that far way.
Build up. Bounce back. Get back to basics. And most importantly: bleed blue.

I was going to do this anyway, but I think this is a good time because of Afrowithachanceofmeatballs' post yesterday: http://groupthink.jezebel.com/secret-lives-o…
(I apologize if I'm linking anything wrong but I'm still not used to posting on here)
So my journey into feminism began around 2007 when I was 17 and a senior in high school. All I remember is talking to a guy online about it and he was a big social justice person and he was a communist. So at some point after I graduated I read The Feminine Mystique and from then on I was interested. After that I read a lot of Jessica Valenti's books and a few more here and there.
I'll admit I have only started a few of these books and I technically haven't read them. However, I thought it would be good to start a list in case anyone wanted to tread into Chicana feminist or Latina feminist territory. Feel free to add on if you know of any. :)

A Memoir Of Heartbreak, Therapeutic, And Dwelling Enchancment
We reside simply outdoors the primary city of Houston. Stand up early. Except you're a morning person, getting up sooner than regular can take you manner out of your consolation zone. Nevertheless, for those who get up nicely before it's important to start getting ready for work, it's worth it. It provides you an opportunity to collect your ideas and mentally put together yourself for the day forward, relatively than simply dashing from one activity to another. It additionally offers you the opportunity to eat a superb breakfast and exercise, each of which have effectively-recognized health advantages.
Some of the gadgets on this record — for example, the interest rate on a mortgage — are quantifiable. Others — for example, the speed of power price inflation — can solely be estimated. And a few — for instance, how a lot one values having a reduced carbon footprintAmount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that an individual, group, business, or other entity contributes to the atmosphere through power use, transportation, and different means. — cannot be quantified at all.
It's not our true nature to concentrate on the sad or bad. Specializing in the faults of the kid won't ever make him or her grow as much as be a 'any individual'. Quite, he will at all times be in search of the approval of adults or peers even when he is in his rocking chair as a result of that is how he has learned to measure 'success'.

A jury in Los Angeles, California, has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay a record $417 million to a woman who claimed she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using the company's Baby Powder for decades.
Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one got cancer from talcum powder, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.
What's the Problem?
August 22, 2017 – The verdict marks the largest sum awarded to date in the talcum powder cancer litigation against J&J, according to CNBC.
Plaintiff Eva Echeverria alleged that the company failed to adequately warn about the potential cancer risk with its talcum powder products. Echeverria used Johnson's Baby Powder almost everyday from the 1950s until 2016, according to the lawsuit.
The $417 million award included $68 million in compensatory damages and $340 million in punitive damages. Evidence in the case included internal documents dating back to the 1970s, which indicated that J&J knew about the risks of talc and ovarian cancer, according to Echeverria's attorney.
The verdict follows 4 other trials in St. Louis which yielded similar outcomes — with juries awarding damages of $110.5 million, $72 million, $70.1 million and $55 million, for a combined total of $307.6 million.
More than 1,000 other women have filed similar talcum powder ovarian cancer lawsuits. Some who won their lawsuits won much lower amounts, illustrating how juries have wide latitude in awarding monetary damages.
Do I Have a Talcum Powder Class Action Lawsuit?
The Class Action Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial lawyers that focus on the representation of plaintiffs in talcum powder lawsuits. We are handling individual litigation nationwide and currently accepting new ovarian cancer cases in all 50 states.
Free Case Evaluation: Again, if you were diagnosed with cancer after using Johnson's Baby Powder, Shower-to-Shower, or other talcum powder product, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to a settlement by filing a suit and we can help.

The Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encompasses a broad range of psychological impairments that cause symptoms such as communication problems, repetitive behavior, and decreased social functioning. Parents of children with any psychological problem experience elevated levels of stress and heightened tension within the family unit. "Because of the unique characteristics of ASD, one might assume that there is a difference between the effects of ASD and other disabilities on the sibling relationship and on the social, behavioral, and psychological adjustment of these siblings," said Tinneke Moyson, Ph.D, and member of the Academic Staff at Ghent University in Belgium. "However, findings regarding the adjustment of siblings of children with ASD, when compared with the adjustment of siblings of children with another type of disability, have been mixed and inconsistent." Moyson and her colleague, Herbert Roeyers, Professor of Psychology and Education Sciences at Ghent, wanted to get a better idea of exactly how these children felt being a sibling of an ASD child. "Understanding siblings' experiences and perceived needs is necessary for the development of effective sibling support programs," said Moyson.
The team interviewed 17 preteens and asked them to describe their quality of life, themselves and what it meant to be a brother or sister. They found that the children saw both positive and negative effects of having a sibling with ASD. "When siblings realize that their brother or sister is different and always will be different, they not only adjust to it, but after a while experience their situation as normal and take advantage of it," said Moyson. But she added that some characteristics of ASD make it difficult for siblings. "Because of the invisibility of the disability, siblings are not always recognized as having a 'special' brother or sister." She added, "Because they have no other choice than to adjust to their specific situation, siblings not only learn to consider their situation as normal but also to refuse themselves permission to complain." Moyson believes her findings have significant implications. "Social workers, psychologists, teachers, clinicians, and all other professionals working with families of children with ASD need to recognize the sibling's unique experience and at least make this position visible."

Trees in climate change: The Julius Kühn-Institute is expert partner 2020
The Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI) investigates the effects of climate change, globalisation, trade in goods and urbanisation on our livelihoods. From 21 to 23 April 2020, the JKI, which is an independent higher federal authority affiliated to the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), will be a specialist partner of the German Tree Care Days in Augsburg. In various lectures and exhibitions, everything focuses on the tree in climate change, the consequences of drought, tree diseases and tree pests. The main focus is on the presentation of possible solutions in dealing with climate-related challenges. The detailed programme of the conference will be published here on the homepage in December.
Trees - more important than ever
The more climate change progresses, the more important trees become. But our native trees are increasingly stressed by heat and drought, becoming easy targets for pests and diseases. According to the organisation "Bund Deutscher Forstleute", more than 100 million old trees have already died in Germany's forests as a result of climate change. In the Harz Mountains, for example, the bark beetle has caused drastic damage to the weakened trees. But it is not only the well-known pests that cause us concern. As it gets warmer, more harmful organisms from more southern regions migrate to us and bring new pests and tree diseases.
Together with the Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI) we will take up this problem and present possible solutions for the practice. The preliminary discussions have already resulted in many suggestions for the coming tree care conference in Augsburg. I'm already looking forward to the next event from 21 to 23 April 2020.
Best regards
Yours D. Dujesiefken

In 1985 God, the Holy Spirit gave Evangelist Shirley K. Russell (a God fearing woman and mathematics instructor at Morgan State University) a vision for a Christian fraternity and sorority. The development of this vision matured when Evangelist Russell shared the vision with two of her students, Doral R. Pulley and Joyce Mungo, who were very instrumental in organizing the "CALLING ALL CHRISTIANS" meeting on November 3, 1988. This is now known as Founder's Day.
The Lord moved on the hearts and minds of many of the attendees of the meeting to help in the manifestation of the vision of Alpha Nu Omega. The first fruits of Alpha Nu Omega consisted of 14 founding brothers and 15 founding sisters. Collectively they labored along with the Visionary Founder Shirley K. Russell in establishing the Constitution of Alpha Nu Omega. This step enabled the organization to be incorporated on December 20, 1988, 47 days after the founding date. The National Headquarters was at this time established at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland.
Many crucial decisions were made by the Founders of Alpha Nu Omega, Inc. in regard to the administration of the organization. One decision called for the organization to operate as two distinct entities (a fraternity and a sorority) bound by a single constitution. At that time two executive boards were established - Founder Doral R. Pulley presided as the president of the fraternity, and Founder Joyce Mungo presided as the president of the sorority. Visionary Founder Shirley K. Russell remained the advisor to the brother/sister organization.
In October of 1989, the organization inducted its first line consisting of one brother and six sisters. The second line for the sisters was held in the fall of 1990. The sisters increased their membership by five.
In the Spring of 1991 the entire Alpha Nu Omega Family met and decided to become a non-hazing organization. They adopted an intake curriculum now known as the Orientation Process. This decision lead to the rapid addition of membership.
Change has taken place in Alpha Nu Omega on several occasions, but the brothers and sisters of Alpha Nu Omega Inc. hold to God's promise of membership growth and leadership in ministry. This will come through spiritual growth, which is found by walking in the Spirit and pressing toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phillipians 3:14)
