No matter what form the business takes – a sit-down restaurant or a mecca for beer connoisseurs – each location is a haven of Southeastern Ohio charm and energy. Although each branch is uniquely characterized and differentiated, they are all dedicated to sustainability, which is a core value of Jackie O’s Farm.
The Supreme Court is one of the most important institutions in the U.S. As the highest court in the country, its decisions have the power to alter the lives of every American. Yet Americans do not elect these justices, have little say in the Supreme Court’s decisions and justices can serve a lifetime on good behavior — and rarely are they even restricted by that stipulation.

Every year, Christmas merchandise seems to hit the shelves earlier and earlier. For some homes, Christmas decorating begins as soon as the kids go out trick-or-treating on Halloween.

For Alsu Kurmasheva, Saturday marked one month in a cramped, cold Russian prison. The beloved mother, wife, daughter and accomplished journalist is far from Prague, where her husband, Ohio University alum Pavel Butorin, and their two daughters sit, hoping for her return.
Recently, I acquired my first job where there were no uniforms, or any dress code at all, for that matter. I was able to dress however I wanted, and as someone who loves fashion, the thought of being able to put together fun outfits for my job actually made me look forward to my shifts, and trust me when I say that I am not someone who likes to work.

Recently, I wrote an opinion piece about the Oct. 7 slaughter and kidnapping of innocent Israelis by Hamas militants. I strongly and unequivocally condemned the attacks and then focused on a need for Israeli military and political leadership to realize that the relentless bombardment of Gaza, shutting off the supply of water, electricity, food and medicine to two million Palestinians trapped in Gaza will not lead to a lasting peace.

It is now obvious that Israel’s invasion of Gaza from the air, sea and land is a well-thought-out and well-planned military action, not a knee-jerk rapid retribution for the Oct. 7 attacks.
