POPSClothing styles and mental health 
n a follow-up study two years later, a number of the same pupils were resurveyed and completed measures of mental health. Results showed that clothing preferences in adolescence appeared to influence future mental health, with different effects apparent by gender. Bangladeshi girls for example were most likely to benefit from traditional clothing choices, and White British girls benefited from integrated clothing choices. In contrast to Bangladeshi girls, White British girls with traditional clothing preferences had a higher risk of ill mental health, and White British girls who preferred clothing from other cultural groups (assimilated) were at an even higher risk.

POPSOur busy galaxy Even our Milky Way galaxy is spinning like a giant Ferris wheel at nearly 140 miles per second. It's also careening at 50 miles per second toward the Great Andromeda galaxy, one of about 30 such structures that create a galactic family astronomers know as the “Local Group,” which, by the way, is falling toward the Virgo supercluster at another 150 miles per second. And if that's not enough, beyond are even more galaxy superclusters as far as the largest telescopes can see. All are rushing away from each other as if hurled from a huge cosmic explosion some 15 billion or 20 billion years ago. Between the clusters glows the faint, ghostly echo of this primordial fireball, through which we speed at more than a million miles per hour. And what about the universe itself? Is it turning about an even larger universe? Is it speeding along in some unknown direction at an even more incredible speed? No one knows for sure, but it's certainly fun to ponder while we wait in yet another motion
