...lurid press attention that so often attends it. One British tabloid dubbed it the "village of the doomed"; other accounts darkly suggested the community may be cursed. The reason: six village residents have committed suicide during the past 12 months, a staggering figure in a nation that averages fewer than nine suicides per 100,000 people. Dr. Hynek Pikhart, a professor of statistics and epidemiology at University College, London, estimates the chance of a community Gnosall's size enduring six suicides in a single year to be less than 0.001%. Perhaps the most unsettling aspect of this torrent of disaster...
...groups that are profoundly affected by the College’s new alcohol policy, yet are not routinely advocated for by the UC. Willey and Snow, however, have done little beyond citing the problem and running a reactive, often-negative campaign that includes few new ideas and even fewer concrete plans for implementation. Sundquist and Sarafa, on the other hand, seem to understand the problems stemming from the UC’s insularity, but they must work proactively throughout the coming year to create a more welcoming and inclusive UC. Despite their weaknesses, however, Sundquist and Sarafa have impressed...
...anticipated bonanza has yet to materialize for OCT East's investors, however. Since it opened in the summer, the resort has averaged about 2,000 visitors per day--about 4,000 fewer than the developers had hoped to attract during peak periods. But even more established theme parks have also struggled to attract visitors. In its first year, Hong Kong's Disneyland, which opened in September 2005, had about 15,000 visitors per day, about 40% of its capacity. And guests have complained about long lines and high prices at the amusement park. "It wasn't what I hoped...
Bourget's Bike Works produces fewer than 600 motorcycles a year, and some collectors can't get enough. Enthusiast Mark Meeberg owns 18 custom-made Bourget's, and his collection is valued at more than $1 million. Meeberg, who made his fortune as the owner of a commercial reconstruction business, speaks of the "freedom" he feels while riding. On his $135,000 Cobra, every piece of metal is streamlined to the machine so there is not a straight line on the bike, and that union of form and function takes his mind off everything else. "I have a real high...
...can’t all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.” Harvard students have yet to realize this. Our solution to the need for someone to clap as we go by is not fewer heroes but more parades. This is why, on any given weekend, Harvard students receive invitations to three “Parties for Microfinance,” one intimate violin concert, and two innovative re-imaginings of Greek tragedy featuring spray-paint and live garden spiders. Also, the Pan-Australian Dance Collective wants...
