Her plan is to organize more around access to proper sex education and abortion services for people of all backgrounds. “With the current administration, it’s so essential we work hard to protect the rights surrounding autonomous reproductive decisions, and push for more,” Winger said.

ackson’s main area of activism is empowering conscious artists, “especially in their strength of their self-esteem and identity because I believe media is foundation of our current society.” She said media teaches society what issues to pay attention to, who to vote for, how to dress, what new words to say and how to treat each other. “If we empower the artists to change the message, we can change the culture, and can therefore empower our societies to change,” she said. In addition, she is an advocate for other people of the African diaspora and the Black Lives Matter Movement. Recently, Jackson organized the Love, Unity and Social Justice slam poetry event at V.I.B.E. “I really wanted a space for artists and attendees of different identities to convene and speak about the issue that marginalized people have already been experiencing and are currently facing with the current administration,” she said. “Sometimes there is too much fear and hopeless and not enough passion, candor and empowerment.” Jackson said she is an advocate because she grew up dealing with

colorism, depression, anxiety, bullying, sexual trauma and low self-esteem. “But creation gave me the power to lift myself out of depression and the courage to speak my mind,” she said. “I always wanted to give the blessing that God gave me back to others. Knowing what it feels like to be hurt makes you value other people’s happiness so much more.” Her activism is passionate, creative, spiritual, empowering and focused on giving people enlightenment or uplifting, she said. “It is focused on attacking problems at the root. If you don’t understand who you are, you’ll never understand others. If you don’t value yourself, you cant value others. If you’ve never seen love, you can’t show love,” she said. n KEY

On the trip she worked directly with refugee families to help them learn English. “The experience really changed my life because I got to meet real people affected by the refugee crisis, and I was able to see how a nonprofit runs behind the scenes,” she said. “I’d like to continue working with refugees in Ohio.”

he heart of Grim’s activism focuses on intersectionality. “I’m a socialist, and I advocate heavily for the interests of the working class,” she said. “All oppression is interconnected, as well as exploited and commodified underneath capitalism.” Grim has co-organized two antiTrump protests in Findlay, a protest in front of Marathon Petroleum standing in solidarity with Standing Rock and a fight back against white supremacy rally on campus. She’s also protested in support of a sanctuary status for the University. In addition, she protested in Toledo on International Working Women’s Day and in support for Planned Parenthood and abortion clinics, and went to Washington D.C. for Inauguration Day and the following Women’s March. “I am an advocate because I want to work for a better world,” Grim said. “I go to school because I want to be a teacher, and I want my students to understand that they have power to work for something better too.”

Gale said she thinks about how design can be used for social change rather than commercialism and makes artwork for social justice organizations to use in their marketing. “As I gain more experience with design, I’d like to be involved in largerscale design projects that really work with and benefit the community,” she said. n KEY

Rape Kits Dealing Out Justice

By Courtney Brown

Victims of rape who decide to report the crime to police may decide to consent to a rape kit, which is a collection of evidence for possible future prosecution. “It’s a pretty extensive examination,” University interim police chief Michael Campbell said. “It’s our responsibility to maintain that evidence for an ‘x’ amount of years and submit it to the BCI.” In Bowling Green, the Wood County Hospital conducts rape kits, and nurses then send them back to the corresponding police department.

O

hio had quite the problem with thousands of backlogged rape kits until 2015, when a new state law required police departments to send in all of their old kits. Now, police departments must send rape kits to the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) or other certified crime labs within 30 days. Before police departments were required by law to turn in rape kits in 2015, Attorney General DeWine started the Sexual Assault Kit (SAK) Initiative in 2011 to push for greater kit testing. BCI’s information officer, Jill Del Greco, gave some statistics to show how many rape kits BCI’s DNA scientists have tested, and how many they still have to get to. From DeWine’s 2011 SAK Initiative, Ohio police departments have sent in 13,931 older rape kits to the BCI. Of those kits, 12,106 have been tested, Del Greco said. As for rape kits outside of the special initiative: 12,215 have been tested. These tested kits led to about 4,396 hits in

ader Mokeddem studies English at Badji Mokhtar University in western Algeria. Hannah Fragapane is a senior University student in the international studies program. Although these students are on separate continents almost 5,000 miles apart, a Facebook group has made their unlikely connection a reality. A new component of Dr. Lara Lengel’s International Communications course, this cross-cultural exchange is giving American and Algerian students the opportunity to not only learn about a different society and culture but also break down some of the assumptions the Middle East and America hold about each other. American students in Lengel’s class and Algerian students from two universities discuss a chosen weekly topic in a shared Facebook group. Topics range from wedding traditions to educational systems. Most recently, students talked about nationalism and patriotism. Through discussion, commonalities between both societies have been realized. “In many ways, they [Algerian students] are a lot more similar to us than many people would expect,” Fragapane said. Many of the students have the same hobbies. Fragapane said several of the American students share favorite televisions shows and movies with Algerian students. Additionally, prior beliefs or assumptions about Americans or Algerians are challenged. Mokeddem, from Badji Mokhtar University, said his perception of the education system in the United States has changed since his interaction with

12

Lengel’s class. He believes education is a basic human right and should be acquired freely by all. He said he was shocked to find out that American students pay to attend college and many find themselves in debt after graduation. In Algeria, education is free and accessible to everyone. Graduate student Meriem Mechehoud is orchestrating this exchange. A Fulbright scholar from Algeria, Mechehoud is working on her second master’s degree here at the University. She’s had this exchange planned out since she noticed the untapped potential of online intercultural connections as an undergraduate in Algeria. “We live in a global society. The world is literally at our fingertips, on our phones and computers, but many of us don’t have the drive and motivation to use it,” Mechehoud said. Tapping into the resources available through a global society encourages curiosity and understanding, two key components of the University’s recent push for diversity and inclusion. Those themes have been hot topics on the University’s campus this year in light of the recent election and various incidents, including racist graffiti. University President Mary Ellen Mazey, Provost Rodney Rogers and Vice President of Student Affairs Thomas Gibson have been reaching out to large student organizations, such as the Black Student Union and BG Falcon Media, to gain a better understanding of student concerns and hear student suggestions for University improvement.

We live in a global society. The world is literally at our fingertips, on our phones and computers, but many of us don’t have the drive and

motivation to use it.

— Mechehoud Additionally, Mazey, Rogers, Gibson and college deans have started hosting office hours. Students can sign up for an appointment online and meet oneon-one with an administrator of choice. The hope is to promote communication between students and administration, as well as to open channels of discussion about inclusion and diversity. At a time when Islamophobic and xenophobic rhetoric are penetrating multiple avenues of communication, Mechehoud said her program is another step toward developing diversity and inclusion at the University. She hopes this exchange inspires students and engenders a passion for harnessing the information available through technology, and then use it to break down the misunderstandings and misconceptions between cultures. She sees this exchange as a way to promote inclusion and create a more welcoming

l connections h assumptions. environment for international students on campus and in the community. Although the Facebook group is shared with 14 American students and 20 Algerian students, Mechehoud said a small cultural exchange can be a large cultural exchange if you see students as webs instead of individuals. She said each student represents a network of friends, family and co-workers where their stories of the exchange can spread. “This is not only one person. This is a whole network. So you look at everyone as a group of people and connections,” Mechehoud said. “This is how your effect can be bigger.” Although the exchange impacts each student in a distinct way, Mechehoud said the one similarity is a story of their experience. “I’m giving the students, American and Algerian, an experience and a story to tell in the future. That story is the most important component,” she said. Although continued interest in foreign cultures is encouraged, Mechehoud doesn’t have a structured goal for the exchange. She said every involved student will take away something different from the experience. For Mokeddem, interaction with American students has provided him with an opportunity to improve his English skills as well as give him insight into the lives of American students. Fragapane said she has come to value the importance of understanding historical events through the experiences of those affected. She gave the example of the French colonization of Algeria.

The current exchange is limited to University students in the international studies program. However, after taking part in the cross-cultural interactions with Algerian students, Fragapane said a program like this could benefit everyone if given the opportunity, regardless of their field of study. “This exchange is a simple set up. The University needs to encourage more exchanges like this in many disciplines,” Fragapane said. “All students can benefit from cultural exchanges. They don’t have to be international studies students to get involved in something international.” n KEY

Meriem Mechehoud

“When we learn through a textbook, we aren’t understanding the emotional significance or impact that it had on Algerians,” she said. Aside from humanizing an issue, Fragapane has also come to learn that textbooks don’t always align with the experiences of the Algerian people. Although Mechehoud graduates this spring, she hopes this model is continued by other faculty members and students with other countries and communities across the globe. She encourages others to start their own exchange and emphasized the simple and cost-friendly nature of a web-based exchange. The set up is free. Creating a Facebook page takes little more than a few clicks of a mouse. All you need are people who are interested in learning about a new culture and are willing to share about their own.

All students can benefit from cultural exchanges. They don’t have to be international studies students to get involved in something international.

BGSU film production graduate gets a taste of Hollywood in Ohio By Jennifer Verzuh

B

ruce Willis can’t seem to get enough of Ohio. He’s currently shooting his upcoming film “Acts of Violence” with director Brett Donowho in Cleveland, and is expected be back again in July to begin shooting a second film, “Reprisal” from director Brian A. Miller, according to Cleveland.com. Willis is far from the only star to make his or her way to the state to work on a film though. Over the summer, Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, James Franco, and John Travolta were all spotted working on various projects just in Cincinnati. Since the Ohio General Assembly created the motion picture tax credit to encourage film production in the state in 2009, major studio feature film productions have been making their way to shoot all or a portion of their scenes. A few of the more notable titles include the Oscar nominated romance “Carol,” Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” and the upcoming “The Fate of the Furious,” the eighth installment of the action franchise. Colleen Mleziva, a 2010 University film production graduate, was a crew member on all three of these films, as well as many others that have been shot in the region. She credits the tax incentives as a big draw for studios and filmmakers that benefits them as well as Ohio. “Any movie that is interested in getting money back when they come to shoot will look at Ohio if it fits what they’re looking for. For instance, on ‘Carol’ and on ‘Miles Ahead’ Cincinnati was standing in for old school New York City,” Mleziva said. “So it makes it easier for productions shooting

14

in Ohio that they don’t have to pay to shoot in New York… And they can also get money back by hiring local crew members and using local resources. So it’s kind of a win-win for the movie and for locals. When movies like Captain America or Fast and Furious come to town, they come to town with a very crew base. They get put up in hotels, and those hotels make money and then on the weekends they go out to restaurants and bars, and so it’s good for the city.” She also added that the versatile nature of the state, particularly Cleveland, was another factor in attracting large-scale productions.

The versatile nature of the state, particularly Cleveland, was another factor in attracting large-scale productions. “For ‘Fast and Furious’ Cleveland was supposed to be New York, and then on ‘Captain America’ I believe it was supposed to be DC,” Mleziva said. So we have kind of a lot of different looks that our city can have.” Professor and filmmaker Lucas Ostrowski agreed that, next to the tax breaks, it’s the variety of landscape and architecture available that’s the biggest benefit for films considering shooting here. “What makes a production company come here is there’s the access to the lake, there’s access to large cities, there’s the

For film students and those looking to break

into the industry she said she believes there are good opportunities here in Ohio. “It’s a good jumping off point for a lot of people... It’s a small market, so there’s opportunity for growth, especially on smaller movies they trust you to take a higher position and guide you through that process. Whereas, if you moved out to Los Angeles, it would be, I think, a harder road because there’s more competition,” Mleziva said. “So I think the smaller market benefits people who want to get into the

industry because people here are willing to teach and help you learn and nurture your growth in the industry.” There’s also a very strong independent film industry in Ohio as well, that thanks to technology becoming better and more affordable is just getting better, Ostrowski said. “It’s really thriving… There’s a lot of work being made, and there’s a lot of work that looks visually interesting,” he said. “There is an independent scene that just keeps on

I am happy with my current situation in Cleveland, and I don’t find myself struggling for work. –– Colleen Mleziva BGSU Film Production Graduate growing, and within any college town or any major city these independent scenes will be even stronger.” Alex Goetz, who graduated from the University in 2010, said he’s most drawn to that independent scene. “The independent stuff and going to the film festivals and having to advertise your film and market yourself is something that I’m more interested in than working on a big budget film,” he said. He noted that thanks to social media it’s easier to connect with other filmmakers and get a crew together, and Ohio’s production scene still being relatively on the smaller side has its advantages for independent filmmakers. “You can do a lot of stuff for free rather than having to pay a ton to film in areas, and I think that that’s really helpful too. Somebody can easily go and film something in Bowling Green and if the story is really good and it goes to a film festival it can get picked up by Netflix, or Hulu, or anybody.” In addition to working for the Toledo Zoo in a communications role, Goetz is developing his own freelance production company which will focus on natural history and education called Running Wild Media, and said that if he can make it work here, there’s no excuse for others. “If I can do independent wildlife filmmaking in Ohio, where there’s no wildlife, then I think that somebody should be able to make a short independent film here,” Goetz said. “It’s kind of you get what you put into it. If you have the passion for it and the drive and you really have a good story that’s really all that you need to get it out there.” n KEY KEY MAGAZINE | Spring 2017

10Ways Student Debt - The two words that control every college student’s life. There are 44 million borrowers of student loans totaling $1.3 trillion in student debt in the United States alone according to Forbes. The average student in the Class of 2016 has $37,172 in student loan debt. From applying for FAFSA as a senior in high school to realizing it’s time to start paying the government back six months after graduation, student loans are the bane of most student’s existence. However, there are ways to better combat student debt.

1

Don’t let your grace period get the best of you.

Yes, your lender may give you time after graduation to relax before you have to start paying your loans without accumulating interest. As nice as that is, take advantage of this time. Instead of waiting, start paying back your loan during those six months FAFSA gives you. For example, say your monthly loan payment after graduation will be $200 per month. By starting your payments monthly, you’ll get in the habit earlier and already be $1200 up on the loan.

2

Don’t assume all loans are the same.

While you may not be able to start paying back right away, use your grace period to start researching and learning about your loans since you probably didn’t when you started taking them out like crazy.

16

Find out which loans you should pay back first. What is the interest rate of each? Do they offer income-based repayment? Can you defer them? Make sure you know all of this information, so when you do start paying, you know exactly what you’re doing to get the best deal for your situation.

3

Know what repayment plan is best for you.

While the government will likely enroll you in a 10-year repayment plan, there are many other options. You may be able to enroll in the income-based repayment, which could be forgiven before you’ve totally paid it off. If you work in a government, nonprofit, or other public service job and pay on time every month for 10 years, the remainder of your debt could be forgiven without paying taxes on the balance. Others may have their loans forgiven in 20 or 25 years, depending on when it was borrowed but will be taxed on the outstanding amount.

4

Be a college student until your loans are paid off.

No, I don’t mean keep going to college. I mean live like you’re a college student. Eat ramen, live in a cheap apartment and when you go out with friends stick to Natty Lite instead of an $8 cocktail. If you spend $10 on a meal 10 times a week, that means you’re spending $100 eating out. That’s $100 that could have relieved some debt. If you live like you’re still on a college budget, you’ll save more money and pay off your debt much quicker with less stress and headaches.

5

Tax breaks for student loans? It’s a real thing.

After you start collecting interest that piles up fast, remember you can deduct your student loan interest from your taxable income.

s

to DEALwith Student DEBT

By Holly Shively

6

Don’t take on any more debt if you don’t have to.

I know you want a brand new car so you can impress the girl down the street and eventually marry her and buy a big fancy house, but trust me. You can wait. All of these things cost a ton of money, and since you’re paying off you’re student debt, you clearly won’t be paying for that car, wedding or house out of your pocket. Wait until you’ve got your debt under control before you take all of this on. Otherwise you’ll regret the dark hole you pull yourself into with a downward spiral into the great abyss of debt.

7

Avoid credit cards. They aren’t friends.

8

Put payments on automatic.

Credit cards are just another way to accumulate debt. You may be tempted to pay off one debt with another, but the interest rates on credit cards are normally a lot higher. Don’t be tempted by the plastic devil.

If you can swing it, put your payments on automatic because some lenders will cut rates and offer other bonuses for doing so. By enrolling in automatic payments, your monthly due balance will be taken out of your account automatically each month.

If you live like you’re still on a college budget, you’ll save more money and pay off your debt much quicker with less stress and headaches.

Love your parents.

Remember if you take out loans that your parents co-sign on, they’re just as responsible as you. If you don’t pay it, they will have to. Love them and pay your bills on time.

10

Start Now

Don’t take out more loans than you need. If you do, 10 years from now you’ll regret it.

February 21 BGSU becomes a “welcoming campus” Sanctuary cities and campuses discussed wildly at the national level hit home when students rallied to have BGSU reach that status. President Mary Ellen Mazey, however, said the University would not support a sanctuary campus because it must follow all laws. On Feb. 21, Faculty Senate approved a resolution to make BGSU a “welcoming campus,” which is designed to create a safe and welcoming place for all students. City council would later deem Bowling Green a welcoming city.

City Battles Nexus Pipeline Despite city council voting down an ordinance that would grant an easement to Nexus Gas Transmission, LLC. to construct a gas transmission pipeline on city land in December, community members still raised concern for the following months. Mayor Edwards, city administrators and community members have sent letters to Nexus requesting more information. Some residents are demanding the project to be halted because they think it will harm the water quality, but others think the pipeline will have no effect on public health.

University students, staff and alumni have been talking about the remodeling of Hanna Hall for the last year because of the loss of the long-standing Gish Theater. On Feb. 17, the board of trustees approved the rename of the building to be the Robert W. and Patricia A. Mauer Center. The center will be the new College of Business. Administration received $10.8 million in private gifts to begin funding the project which will cost about $49 million. The new building is slated to open in June 2020.

March 18 Hockey goes to WCHA Championship The Falcons hockey team had a pretty good season, although they had a slow beginning to the year, they were able to return to form in the middle portion of the year and clinched home ice advantage for the playoffs for the fourth straight season. However, the team really caught fire at the end of the year, collecting a seven game winning streak at the end of the regular season and into the playoffs, sweeping the Ferris State Bulldogs and Bemidji State Beavers to make it to the WCHA Championship game for the first time since 1990. While the team was eventually defeated by the Michigan Tech Huskies in the championship round, the team had one of their longest playoff runs in recent years. (Contributed by Zane Miller)

University to close golf course On March 21, the University announced the closure of the Forest Creason Golf Course, an asset of the University since 1965. The course was said to need a new clubhouse, a new irrigation system and new outdoor shelter facilities and banquet facility/food service to continue operations, and the cost did not outweigh the benefits. University administration, with the help of input from students and staff, will be looking for ways to use the land in the future.

Harshman coming down Announced last year, Harshman will be closing at the end of this academic year, putting the University down 6,500 beds. To make up for the shortage, the University is partnering with Greenbriar to offer students off-campus apartments as on-campus housing. The apartments on North Enterprise will cost the same as Centenniel Hall and Falcon Heights. Juniors and seniors are not guaranteed on-campus housing. The city of Bowling Green is also facing a housing shortage. KEY MAGAZINE | Spring 2017

ith the recent passage of the bill that blocks regulations preventing Internet service providers (ISPs) from selling their customers’ web history, some people may be searching for a way to regain their privacy. Without the regulations, it is perfectly legal for ISPs to search through your web history and find information like age, location, name and other personal data. Customers can avoid this in very few ways, like changing providers. ISPs can also look at the trends in their customers’ web use and sell the information to advertisers. It’s like how an iPhone will alert the user when an Apple Store is nearby, simply using one’s location. However, ISPs will be making a much larger profit through selling this information. Hopefully, future legislation will be passed that allows customers to opt-out of any programs that involve the sale of their Internet usage patterns. For now, all we can do is wait. Before the passage of this bill, your Internet privacy was hardly private. That’s why some people make use of what most call the “deep web.” Its name makes it sound like the bottom most layer of the Internet. Some may assume that it is only made up of a few hundred websites. In actuality, the

Only 4 percent of the Internet is viewable with a typical Internet browser.

Before the passage of this bill, your Internet privacy was hardly private. That’s why some people make use of what most call the “deep web. deep web makes up the majority of the Internet — only 4 percent of the Internet is viewable with a typical Internet browser. What separates the deep web and the open web is how they are accessed. The deep web consists of unlisted websites that make use of special web addresses. These websites cannot be accessed through mainstream search engines, which makes them difficult to find. A typical web browser like Chrome or Firefox can only let the user access a small percentage of the entire Internet. Those who use the deep web gain access to an unfathomable amount of databases, and many are on extremely specific subjects. But how can the deep web help with privacy?

TOR is the program one would use to access the deep web. It stands for “the onion router.” Similar to how Shrek can be compared to an onion, so can the TOR browser: it has many layers. The layers of the metaphorical onion that is TOR are actually a way to encrypt the signals sent and received to access websites. Encryption works by taking that information and hiding it under layers of other data. This method makes it difficult to track where the encrypted data was sent or received. A normal web browser will gain access to a website through the easiest route possible. If you are accessing the BGSU website, you will gain access to the page after the information is sent to the ISP

Using encryption services like TOR makes information harder to track, but there are skillful people that know TOR’s weaknesses. What is a Browser?

The Tor Software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world. it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. Tor Browser lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac, OSX, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained (portable).

and then to the website’s servers. The path the information takes to get from the ISP to web servers is easy to understand for computer s cience professionals. Therefore, it is easily trackable. Think of it this way: just as taxonomy classifies animals in a certain ranking system, the “normal” Internet carries out commands in a set order. It can be compared to genus, species, family and the other levels of the taxonomic rank. Using encryption services like TOR makes information harder to track, but there are skillful people that know TOR’s weaknesses. Malicious TOR websites might track web usage using “exit nodes.” Exit nodes are websites that let a user exit the deep web and enter the open web. When a TOR user accesses an exit node, the webpage will log the relays used to access the page. If someone with malicious intent is the owner of the exit node, they gain the ability to access sites that are intended to be anonymous. However, this is a small problem when you consider the size of the deep web. With over 1,000 exit nodes, only about 65 have been found to be malicious websites. Investigators can use exit nodes to keep track of illegal activity on the deep web. Sites like the Silk Road have been shut down due to illicit things like drug trafficking. Of course, there are other means of tracking someone’s deep web history. Hidden service directories (HSDirs) are how sites on the deep web are relayed. There are over 3,000 HSDirs that a TOR user can use to access specific deep websites. When used as intended, none of

the addresses are stored by the HSDirs. But some HSDirs do store that information. Someone can modify their HSDir to store the links and the specific services accessed through it. Links to a deep website are usually hidden. Usually, a TOR user must manually sift through the deep web to find a specific website. When the site is found, whoever made the HSDir (possibly law enforcement or hackers) can store the information used to access the site and then continually access websites that are intended to be secret.

Other members of the deep web community want to take more drastic measures — like creating a completely new onion service, or services. Of course, there is some monitoring of the ways to store private information on the deep web. The TOR Network tries to control this problem by identifying malicious HSDirs, and kicking them off the deep web. Other members of the deep web community want to take more drastic measures — like creating a completely new onion service, or services. TOR developers have been experimenting with new ways to make the deep web more anonymous. Tests have been done on small networks of laptops that simulate the deep web successfully. ...continues on next page

For increased privacy, consider disabling JavaScript. Some hackers use the extension to access personal data. TOR comes with “NoScript” already, which disables the extension. Open TOR and click on the “S” at the top left. Then click Forbid Scripts Globally. This will not allow any scripts to run on the browser. Super cautious people can take it a step further and manually disable JavaScript.

However, a small network isn’t enough to prove it will work. Average Internet users may find the deep web daunting. The websites found throughout it look nothing like a typical webpage. Most look like they came straight out of the ‘90s, since most TOR website designers aren’t dedicated to looks (or easy ways to access information). They might design a website that makes someone solve a series of codes and puzzles before accessing a database. Even once the database is reached, the links could be broken because they’re more than a decade old. Yet, even

Those who prefer the open web might benefit from the use of a virtual private network (VPN) to maintain privacy on the Internet. Facebook offers a TOR version of their open website. Those who prefer the open web might benefit from the use of a virtual private network (VPN) to maintain privacy on the Internet. VPNs can operate on the open web.

You must be sure you trust the VPN being used. A VPN could easily track and sell data. Rather than the request to access a webpage going to the ISP, it is sent to the private servers of the VPN. Your ISP won’t have a list of the specific websites visited. Instead, it will appear that you have accessed a single server. Then again, you must be sure you trust the VPN being used. A VPN could easily track and sell data. Some websites even discourage the use of VPNs. Netflix tries to block all VPNs so people can’t access content that is not available in their home country. Multiple websites block specific VPNs, as certain criminal organizations or hackers may use them to hide their misdeeds. If this information hasn’t deterred you, here’s a simple guide on how to access the deep web. By the way, using TOR is completely legal. But all laws still apply, even when someone thinks they are safe due to increased (yet not complete) privacy. n KEY

After their fourth straight winning season, four of the Falcons will be heading to the pros, while two others plan to go after their collegiate career.

Where are the Falcons going? The Falcons complete the 2016-2017 season with an overall record of 21-18-2, achieving their fourth-straight-winning season overall, while advancing to the WCHA Championship game against Michigan Tech. This is the first time Bowling Green made it to the conference finals since 1988.

Matt Pohlkamp Pohlkamp has been featured in 160 games for the Orange and Brown, and has scored/assisted in 88 goals. In March he signed with the Toledo Walleye, the ECHL affiliate to the Detroit Red Wings. The Falcon has already recorded his first professional goal against the Florida Everblades.

Chris Nell Goaltender Chris Nell made a total of 2,043 saves in the 83+ hours of play as a Falcon. At the end of his collegiate career, Nell finished with a record of 41-28-10, with a .922 save percentage. Nell signed an entry-level contract with the Rangers, and is currently playing for the AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Mark Friedman Junior Mark Friedman forgoes his senior year to sign an entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers. He played in 121 games and scored/assisted in 68 goals for BGSU. Friedman will complete the season with the Flyer’s AHL affiliate in Lehigh Valley.

Kevin Dufour Dufour played in all 41 games for the Falcons in his senior year, scoring 18 goals for a total of 54 in his collegiate career. The senior signed his first professional contract for the South Carolina Stingrays, the ECHL affiliate to the Washington Capitals.

ADAM SMITH Sophomore Adam Smith ahs appeared in 50 games since ther start of his collegiate career. At the end of his sophomore year, the defender scored/assisted in 8 goals for the Falcons. The Nashville Predators selected Adam Smith in the seventh round of the 2016 NHL draft.

RYAN BEDNARD Bednard played in seven games for BGSU this season, his best games feature a shutout over Alaska Anchorage in November, and a game with 29 saves against Michigan Tech.
