3. Amanda

Similar to Jaeda, Amanda had a difficult outfit and had to resort to a simplistic pose. She looks so elegant and she’s showing the clothes extremely well. I wish she had tilted her chin up a tad bit more, but she’s still bringing a lot of intensity and confidence in her stare. I think that this was super underrated by the panel.

ANTM: I was fine with Tash returning, but I would've preferred Giah, Cherish, or Krislian. I figured Tash still wouldn't make it far after coming back and I was right. I preferred Tash's look at first (def not her personality), but Cody was always the better twin. I would've preferred Brittany to come back, but I wasn't shocked about Leila. She grated though and I also much preferred Nastasia and Laura. I figured Kyla just isn't active on social media, but idk We'll see how I feel about her soon

Yeah, I think that is another reason the comeback never made any sense to me. When you had the social media, the fans bringing someone back made no sense, because if the fans loved them, then it was the judges who probably sent them home, so they weren’t then going to hand them the win. So either you had someone who may do okay, but would never win because the judges pride would be hurt, or someone whose return is just a revolving door. That was especially clear with the twins, Cody was always the better one, so Tash coming back meant nothing, because the worst that could happen would be a final 2 of the twins, with Cody being the better twin so winning. Anyways, I am still surprised they didn’t force those two into a bottom 2 for the drama like they did with Amanda and Michelle.

I was never quite sure about Brittany, but I do think her entire portfolio was stronger than Leila’s up to that point. Though she was screwed by again being eliminated just as someone was returning. The judges will never allow the person they just cut to return, it would make the whole thing pointless. I think that is partially the reason they changed the whole mechanic in Cycle 22 and 23 so that the person who was eliminated in the same episode could never come back.

And yeah, I am still hoping for Kyla to do okay. But after watching the preview of the makeover reveal, her and Ivana both got pictures from home shown, so with Ivana most likely going home, I guess Kyla is going to be in the bottom 2 with her. Then again, maybe the editors just got better at editing episodes to be a surprise, but that is kind of unlikely.

6. Amanda

My call-out average: 4.3

Panel call-out average: 4.5

We didn’t get a full sense of who Amanda was outside of her identity as one of the twins, but I still thought she seemed like a super sweet person. I loved how supportive she was of her sister coming out of the closet. I also really like the dynamic that she had with Michelle and you could tell that they wanted the best for each other. Amanda also had such a funny moment when she stood up to Monique and ran through the house screaming “There’s food here!” That really made me like her even more after the recap episode. When it came to modeling, I actually agree with the judges that Amanda wasn’t as strong (at least in photos) as her sister. She was super strong in the first 3 weeks, bombed the circus shoot and just coasted in the middle from there. Her last two photos were strong, but by that point she was still being outperformed. I don’t find many of her photos to be that memorable either. She was super high fashion, but I didn’t think she had much commercial potential, which is probably a major reason why she was eliminated before the finale (since CoverGirl and Seventeen skew more towards commercial). Amanda also wasn’t as natural on set as I would’ve liked; she second-guessed herself a lot and it showed several times. She had a decent walk and a fashionable, editorial look so I understand how she made it to the final 4.

#7 – Michelle and Amanda’s Circus Shot

This shot really was a disappointment, as both of the twins were decent models (though I still believe Michelle is heavily overrated) and when they produced this shot together it was kind of funny. This photo is just off, neither of them performed well, and it is just a bit boring. I wanted something exciting from this shoot, but this just leaves me bored.

New Jersey Latest State to Introduce Gender-Neutral Birth Certificates

(FaithWire) – New Jersey has become the fourth state to introduce a “gender-neutral” option on birth certificates following the introduction of a new law which will go into force Friday. The Babs Siperstein Law, which derives its name from a New Jersey resident and the first transgender person to become a member of the Democratic National Committee, will allow residents to change their certificates to specify either “female, male, or undesignated/nonbinary.”

“Having a gender-neutral option will now give thousands of people in the state of New Jersey the power to self-identify,” said Amanda Babine, director of policy and programs at the New York Transgender Advocacy Group, as reported by NBC News. “We find this choice to determine their own identity leads to an increase in well-being for the individual and a push towards creating more inclusive communities.” READ MORE

John Matthew Umambong “The Genetics of Bone Strength in Mice” Jonathan Vu and Robert Blank (Mentor), Endocrinology The purpose of this study is to identify relationships between the physical and genetic characteristics of bones in mice. The physical characteristics include size, density, and the force required to break the bone, while the genetic ones are the genes of the marker loci associated with the genes that affect these qualities. This study uses strains of mice with reduced genetic variation. The two strains of mice that are the most phenotypically extreme, meaning those with the strongest and weakest bones, are crossed. The F2 generation from that cross is then analyzed. The results of this analysis can be used to find which genotypes correlate with specific bone properties like size, density, and failure load. The anticipated outcome of this lab is the identification of the genotypes that affect bone strength in mice. The findings may be useful in treating medical conditions that are related to bone strength. MAIN IDEA: The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the physical and genetic characteristics of bones in mice. PARAPHRASE: This study aspires to determine the linkage between the physical and the genetically inherited traits and characteristics of the bones of mice. "The Commemoration and Memorialization of the American Revolution” Benjamin Herman and Jean Lee (Mentor), History This project involves discovering how the American Revolution was remembered during the nineteenth century. The goal is to show that the American Revolution was memorialized by the actions of the United States government during the 1800s. This has been done by examining events such as the Supreme Court cases of John Marshall and the Nullification Crisis. Upon examination of these events, it becomes clear that John Marshall and John Calhoun (creator of the Doctrine of Nullification) attempted to use the American Revolution to bolster their claims by citing speeches from Founding Fathers. Through showing that the American Revolution lives on in memory, this research highlights the importance of the revolution in shaping the actions of the United States government. MAIN IDEA: The goal is to show that American Revolution was memorialized by the actions of the United States government during the 1800’s. PARAPHRASE: The study targets to substantiate that the American Revolution was commemorated by the government of the United States during the 1800’s. “Subtype of Autism: Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia” Amanda Babin and Morton Gernbascher (Mentor), Psychology The purpose of this research is to identify a subtype of autism called Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia (DVD). DVD is a motor-speech problem, disabling oral-motor movements needed for speaking. The first phase of the project involves a screening interview where we identify DVD and Non-DVD kids. We also use home videos to validate answers on the screening interview. The final phase involves home visits where we use several assessments to confirm the child’s diagnosis and examine the connection between manual and oral motor challenges. By identifying DVD as a subtype of Autism, we will eliminate the assumption that all Autistics have the same characteristics. This will allow for more individual consideration of Autistic people and may direct future research on the genetic factors in autism. MAIN IDEA: The purpose of this research is to identify a subtype of autism called Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia (DVD). PARAPHRASE: This research aims to study the Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia (DVD). DVD is a subtype of autism in which children have problems saying sounds, syllables, and words. “Fostering H.O.P.E.: Helping Overcome Poverty through Education for Teen Moms” Angela Cunningham and Sherrill Sellers (Mentor), Social Work This program was designed to address the prevalent issues of teen parenthood and poverty. The idea was to introduce and reinforce the importance of obtaining a post secondary education to teen mothers in their junior or senior year of high school. The program ran for eight weeks during the summer of 2003. Participants met once a week to participate in group building activities, get insights to what it will take to finish school, and receive information on services that are available to help them along the way. The young women also had the opportunity to tour the UW and MATC campuses. The participants walked away from the program with a sense of hope that they are able to pursue their dreams despite their difficult situations. MAIN IDEA: This program was designed to address the prevalent issues of teen parenthood and poverty. PARAPHRASE: This project was established to direct the current issues of teenage pregnancy, teenage parenting, and poverty. Evonie Bito-onon The Word of the Body: Depictions of Positive Body Image In Philippine Young Adult Literature Gabriela Lee The relationship between body image and identity is one of the hallmarks of young adult literature. Despite the advances made by various feminist movements, “[G]irls’ lives are still adversely affected by social pressure to adhere to an ideal standard of beauty,” says Beth Younger. This obsession with weight and appearance is a heady mixture of information overload, media portrayal, and an overall propensity for obesity in the past decades due to a number of complicating factors: food production, environmental factors, epigenetic research, and changes in lifestyles. Young adult or YA stories are also part of this continuous portrayal of female bodies as either acceptable or marginal, or even reversing our notions of either concept. In the Philippines, these stories feature female protagonists who consider their appearances, though not necessarily their weight and body shape and size, important enough that the text considers and acknowledges their appearances as part of their struggle to be accepted within certain social spheres. This essay is concerned with the positive portrayal of the fat female body in young adult literature and how it becomes a subversive body, since it performs its pleasures for the self, and not for others. Main Idea: This essay is concerned with the positive portrayal of the fat female body in young adult literature and how it becomes a subversive body, since it performs its pleasures for the self, and not for others. Paraphrase: Depicting fat female body in a young adult literature positively and on how it will affect the body’s performance. Elite Female Athletes’ Perceptions of New Media Use Relating to Their Careers: A Qualitative Analysis Today’s elite athletes face increasing demands to develop a new media presence in order to build their personal brand and connect with a wide variety of stakeholders. Myriad studies have focused on athletes’ new media use by examining content posted online; however, few studies have examined new media usage from the athletes’ perspectives. Using the theoretical framework of self-presentation theory to uncover athletes’ new media perceptions, goals, and strategies, semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted with six elite female athletes training for the 2016 Rio Olympics. Findings revealed that although athletes had goals for sharing their lives, developing connections, sponsorship, and self-promotion, they did not employ specific strategies to meet these goals or attempt to measure whether their goals were met. Gender-related findings included feeling pressure to post sexually suggestive images and receiving unwanted private communications from male fans. The implications are discussed within the paper. Main Idea: Findings revealed that although athletes had goals for sharing their lives, developing connections, sponsorship, and self-promotion, they did not employ specific strategies to meet these goals or attempt to measure whether their goals were met. Paraphrase: According to athletes who have a vision or goals for sharing their lives to people, they did not have specific techniques to achieve their vision or goals. Visual and Performing Arts Abstracts “Blind Construction: Mixed Media” Diana Dewi, Jennifer Kittleson, and Wendy Hagedorn (Mentor), Apparel and Textile Design The basis of this project was to create a garment using mixed media in order to mimic the human body. The materials we used to create this piece include: buckram, copper wire, spray paint, fabric paint, a variety of novelty fabrics, and chains. The techniques we created in order to manipulate the piece include: fabric branding and burning, grid painting, sewing, draping, molding buckram, and coiling. Our overall approach was to create a theatrical wearable art piece. Upon completion of the assignment we found the piece aesthetically pleasing because of the way it molds to the human body, but can be a piece all on its own. Main Idea: The basis of this project was to create a garment using mixed media in order to mimic the human body. Paraphrase: This project was solely based on how to produce clothes that forms a human body through the use of mixed media. “ H.O.P.E.: Helping Overcome Poverty through Education for Teen Moms” Angela Cunningham and Sherrill Sellers (Mentor), Social Work This program was designed to address the prevalent issues of teen parenthood and poverty.

King Redzuan Villacorte Hard Science Abstracts “Biogeography of Chemical Defense in Birch Trees” Sarah Brown and Michael Stevens (Mentor), Botany The Latitudinal Defense Hypothesis predicts that levels of defense are highest near the equator and decrease toward the poles. This hypothesis is based mainly on insect herbivory that occurs during the summer. Mammilian herbivory in the winter is a more likely driver of plant defense levels in northern latitudes. Early successional trees such as birches are favored by fire and provide an important food source for mammals like snowshoe hares. In order to test the Latitudinal Defense Hypothesis, we collected birch seeds from eight locations in northwestern Canada and grew seedlings in a common garden. We assessed levels of defense by counting resin glands because resin glands are negatively correlated with snowshoe hare preference. This research will provide valuable information regarding the biogeography of defense and address the role of fire in plant-mammal interactions on a continental scale. Main Idea: This hypothesis is based mainly on insect herbivory that occurs during the summer. Paraphrase: The proposition of herbivory insects that come out during summer season. “Understanding Cell-Mediated Immune Responses Against Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV)" Sean Spenser and John Loffredo, David Watkins (Mentors), Primate Research Center Each day 14,000 people become infected with HIV/AIDS, making the development of an effective vaccine one of the world’s top public health priorities. David Watkins’ laboratory is attempting to develop HIV vaccines that elicit cellular immune responses utilizing the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) – infected rhesus macaque animal model. A major component of the cell-mediated immune response are cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL). It is thought that CTL play an important role in controlling HIV and SIV. Most standard immunological assays do not measure antiviral activity directly, limiting our understanding of CTL effectiveness. To address this, the Watkins laboratory developed a novel neutralization assay that quantifies the ability of virus-specific CTL populations to control viral growth. Evaluating the antiviral activity of CTL of different specificities will identify those CTL most effective against SIV. This information will likely impact the design of future HIV vaccines. Main Idea: To address this, the Watkins laboratory developed a novel neutralization assay that quantifies the ability of virus-specific CTL populations to control viral growth. Paraphrase: Evaluating the ability of virus-specific CTL populations in managing viral growth is the purpose of the Watkins laboratory. “The Genetics of Bone Strength in Mice” Jonathan Vu and Robert Blank (Mentor), Endocrinology The purpose of this study is to identify relationships between the physical and genetic characteristics of bones in mice.

Main Idea: The purpose of this study is to identify relationships between the physical and genetic characteristics of bones in mice. Paraphrase: Investigating the resemblance in the bones of a mice in the physical and genetic aspect is the target of this research. Service Project Abstracts “Southeast Asian Political Action Committee: Democracy at Work!” Lauren Breshahan and Marlys Macken (Mentor), Linguistics Upon receiving the Wisconsin Idea Undergraduate Fellowship the summer and fall 2003 semesters were spent designing and implementing a Hmong Political Council, Inc. (HPC). The fellowship addressed the immediate need felt by our local government and the Hmong refugee community to develop a political voice expressing the economic, political, and social needs of the Hmong refugee community. It was implemented through the collaboration of the United Refugee Services of Wisconsin, Professor Macken, the Hmong community, and myself. Extensive research was conducted at the local, state, and national level involving the studying of IRS requirements, lobbying rights, other political councils, and the needs of the Wisconsin Hmong community. HPC is now a legal non-profit organization that has held two fundraisers, released press statements, and worked with State and National political figures to address the needs of the Hmong community. Within the year HPC plans to be lobbying at the state level. Main Idea: The fellowship addressed the immediate need felt by our local government and the Hmong refugee community to develop a political voice expressing the economic, political, and social needs of the Hmong refugee community. Paraphrase: Expressing the political and social needs of the Hmong refugee community and also addressing the need of local government was the objective of this project.
