GUELPH A pig out in Guelph is taking social media by storm. Frankie is a five-year-old American potbelly pig who lives in an apartment with his family Laura Broadly, Tim Crawford, and their dog Tucker. “It’s very, very cozy, we don’t have a lot of space, so it’s shared space,” said Crawford. “Frankie is just like our dog, who is very, very affectionate. He likes to be up on the couch.” The couple adopted Frankie when he was just a baby and they were living in Toronto. Due to bylaws in that city, they had to move to an area that allows pigs as pets, which brought them to Guelph three years ago.

A University of East Anglia scientist has helped launch an open letter warning of significant long-term damage from cuts to research funded through international aid money.
Jenni Barclay, the UEA’s professor of volcanology, is one of the originators of an open letter signed by over 5,000 researchers, including several others in Norwich, opposing reduced research funds.
The UEA is also one of the members of the Eastern Arc regional research consortium to have written to chancellor Rishi Sunak calling for a rethink of plans by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), an agency overseeing the government’s research funding, to half the budget for international projects.
The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is no one-trick pony. The most powerful Ford ever is as happy on a twisty track as it is on a drag strip, Fox News Automotive Editor Gary Gastelu says.

The medal-worthy ride was built by Utah’s Kirkham Motorsports, which usually fabricates them out of aluminum, but has made a few other bronze ones. This particular example is unique in that it is a CSX 4600 continuation car with an authentic Shelby serial number.
