âGOD SIMPLY DOES NOT WANT MICHIGAN TO WIN TODAY. THAT IS THE ONLY EXPLANATION,â he said (and truly believed it at the time). The funny part is, they went on to win the game.
The losses over the years have taken a toll on the family, including my sister,
Amber. It took her about a week to start interacting with humanity again after Michigan lost to Michigan State in 2001. My hometown of Westphalia, Mich., is a German Catholic village filled with countless diehard Wolverine fans, and the 2005 loss to Notre Dame, for example, hit the reader extra hard during Sunday Mass the following day.

A tailings dam motion monitor service that has been developed by researchers at the University of Nottingham and Terra Motion is now available to mining companies through Geospatial Insight, a company that provides business intelligence sourced from satellite imagery.
According to the organizations involved in the project, the service – called MotionMonitor-TSF – is designed to track ground movements in and around mine tailings facilities to provide early warnings of any potential structural failure.

COLUMBIA - Missouri s Show Me State Games held its 8th Annual Pumpkin Fun Run Saturday morning at Phillips Lake Park in Columbia.Â
Though cancelled last fall due to the pandemic, the games hosted a not your average Pumpkin Fun Run to make up for the missed event, according to Executive Director Dave Fox. This is the opportunity for us to bring back an event that s dedicated for kids K-5 in Boone County, Fox said. It creates a little competition and most importantly we are so fortunate and happy to be back and reengaged. We re kind of returning to play, coming out of what s been a really difficult year.

Gun owners need to be part of the solution
In his April 17 article, Mass shooting won t alter gun culture, James Briggs referenced a Bureau of Justice Statistics report that over half of incarcerated individuals who used guns in their crimes stole them. He went on to say that 43% purchased them on the black market (also, I believe, most likely stolen).

Mikey Blackwood wrote on the Littlehampton Facebook page: Just open them full time again, then there would be no huge queues and gridlock with the likelihood of the police shutting them. Also there would be no need for a booking system or to bring in the summer times earlier. It worked before they changed the opening days and now it s kicking them in the teeth.
