Lisa Lindahl created the sports bra because she needed one. I get it. I used to run with my arms folded across my chest before her invention.
Along with Title 9, which came along at the same time, the sports bra is considered to have contributed greatly to rise to prominence of women athletes. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History said of it: “The introduction of the sports bra did more than improve athletes' performances. It represented a revolution in ready-to-wear clothing, and for many women athletes, past, present, and future, it actually made sports possible.”
And yes, the first one was made from two jock straps. It looked something like the picture on the left. For obvious reasons, Lisa wanted to call it the jockbra. But the word jock had connotations then that it doesn't have now, so she had to change it to — yes, you guessed it: the jogbra.
She's got a book out now, called Beauty as Action: The Way of True Beauty and How its Practice Can Change Our World.

Bob Clendenin is one of those actors who, when you see him, you go, “Hmm… Why does his face look familiar? He’s the creepy dude. In his recurring role on the TV show Scrubs, another character tells Bob’s, “You are hands down the most disturbing man I’ve ever met in my life.” Yep, Bob has made a living by being weird. Or sad, like Emmett Kelly’s clown. Bob has been featured on 10 Items or Less and an improvised Western series called Quick Draw. He became a regular on Cougar Town, with Courtney Cox. And he’s had guest appearances in too many more tv shows to mention here. Same thing with movies. And commercials…
Capable of looking downright normal when he chooses to, he does Shakespeare and dramatic roles, too. He was one of seven actors in 1996 to start Circle X Theater in Los Angeles, a theater that is still winning awards and critical acclaim today.

This is the story of Henry, a being committed to helping the sick, bringing joy to the loney, and engaging those with alzheimer's or other forms of dementia so they can communicate. Henry is a therapy cat, and we've known for a logn time that therapy animals can work wonders for those with any kind of emotional or mental challenge. Henry is quite willing to sit comfortably in the patient's lap, letting her stroke him, talk to him. If you stroke him enough, he'll roll over onto this back os you can rub his belly. If you stop stroking him, he's likely to meow.
The twist here is, Henry's not real! He's a robot. From a distance, you could mistake him for real, and he has the weight of a real cat as he sits in your lap. These animals were created to help those who have trouble engaging with the outside world. In many ways, Henry is as effective as any live therapy pet, but you never have to feed him or clean his litter box. And no vet bills! Listen to Henry's story, as told my Heather Kennedy, the Director of Community Life at Glen Meadows Retirement in Glen Arm, MD, a part of the greater Baltimore area. Listen to his story.
