When the urge to indulge in something swanky and sumptuous arises after the grueling end of an exam or project, Fogo de Chão is my destination of choice. This esteemed Brazilian steakhouse chain, renowned for its high-quality, open-fire roasting techniques, has locations nationwide. Conveniently for Baltimore residents, two of them are nestled near us in Baltimore: one at the iconic Inner Harbor and the other in Towson. As a graduate student in D.C., I actually visited the location near the SAIS campus, but the quality of food and service is consistently excellent across all locations.

The NBA season is back! We are well and truly back in the midst of all of the highlights, drama, and suspense that comes with every night of the action. As with every new year, some teams are suffering from the hangover of success, while others are hungry to prove that they are once again, forces to be reckoned with. Now a month into the season, let’s take a look at some of the key storylines that are capturing the limelight of it all.

There are a few factors which were not key to this election, and a few which were. Let’s break them down.
