Omne trium perfectum is Latin for "everything that comes in threes is perfect.” The Rule of Three is a principle of writing that holds that things that come in threes are more satisfying, humorous and effective than other numbers of things.

Lois Agler made her way to a Goodwill facility in Michigan that offered free IT training.

The Sheriff) who may well be competing in his last. The Panthers have the NFL’s top offense, while the Broncos boast its best defense. Both teams entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seeds of their respective conferences.
