maya (Maya Sweedler, editor): With four weeks remaining in the regular season, the NFL playoff picture is beginning to shape up quite nicely.

But statistically, the Eagles have the better offense, while the Cowboys have the better defense and special teams. The opposite will happen though, probably, and it will lead to more failure. joshua.hermsmeyer: I respect Elo, but I am all-in on the Eagles. I think that’s going to be the likely outcome in a game more often than not for DBs on teams that try and copy L.A., but the Chargers were up to the task on the rest of their snaps. Salfino: The teams no one wants to play … The issue is whether he can get just a good — not great — team over the hump. But I will point out this is a team with really good bones on both sides of the ball — the fifth-ranked offense by points scored, two fantastic rookie defensive players in defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson (who leads all rookies in sacks and first pressures) and linebacker James Houston (who is second among rookies in sacks) and a very likable new talent in wide receiver Jameson Williams. The Chargers are among the league’s worst run defenses, and [executed their game plan to perfection](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-bengals-and-niners-are-winning-us-over-but-were-still-not-sold-on-the-vikings/) against Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins’ receiving threats, the Chargers defense got right up on the line of scrimmage and held Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to a [combined 112 yards](https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401437896).

A recent right-wing plot to overthrow German democracy wasn't the first such effort.

But it was equally important that Allied forces underscored the depth of the threat’s seriousness discursively by referring to it as part of an effort to create a “Fourth Reich.” In fact, the right-wing rebels were themselves beholden to the idea of turning Germany into an authoritarian Reich, with the SRP leadership, led by former Wehrmacht Gen. Driven by anti-liberal, anti-immigrant and antisemitic beliefs, the Reichsbürger were long dismissed as a bunch of cranks until some of its members began to carry out acts of civil disobedience that culminated in violence — including killings — against German police officials in 2016. In pop culture the streaming series “ [Hunters](https://www.indiewire.com/2019/11/hunters-first-trailer-nazi-hunting-1202191428/),” starring Al Pacino, explores the premise of American neo-Nazis in the 1970s plotting to create a Fourth Reich in America. [the Fourth Reich](http://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/racist-anti-semitic-signs-placed-at-dumfries-church).” Around the same time, right-wing radicals produced threatening social media posts with messages such as “Donald Trump is Just the Opening Act. In the decades since the 1950s, Germany has developed into a democracy as stable as any in the Western world. Even if its realization does not appear to be imminent, the fact that it remains an aspirational goal of extremists means we ignore it at our peril. From 1952 to 1953, West Germany’s democratic order faced new right-wing threats with the rise of the neo-Nazi Socialist Reich Party (SRP) and the hatching of a conspiracy led by Joseph Goebbels’ former Propaganda Ministry deputy, Werner Naumann. Originally, the concept was coined by opponents of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, who sought to herald the vision of a fourth successor Reich as a democratic alternative to Nazism. [press reports](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/germany-just-averted-its-own-jan-6-and-maybe-the-fourth-reich/2022/12/07/e858fb56-764d-11ed-a199-927b334b939f_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_4) have breathlessly announced that Germany dodged a bullet and only just “averted … This history shows why it is critical to take those actors who seek to bring about a Fourth Reich seriously. Meanwhile, one of the first countries to go fascist last century — Germany — is facing its own internal right-wing threat, as was made clear last week when German police [arrested more than two dozen right-wing extremists](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/07/germany-coup-arrests-reichsbuerger-heinrich/?itid=lk_inline_manual_2) plotting to violently overthrow the government. As odd as it may sound, both countries may be facing the same threat — the prospect of a “Fourth Reich.”

If depression challenges or reduces their ability to adhere to those medications, then it is essential to address depression as part of cardiovascular care and treatment," Magnani said. Patients were followed for a year. Bruce Rollman](https://profiles.dom.pitt.edu/dgim/faculty_info.aspx/Rollman4823), professor of medicine at Pitt. Jared Magnani](https://profiles.dom.pitt.edu/faculty_info.aspx/Magnani6662), a cardiologist and associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. "We found that 10% to 20% of individuals with depression were less likely to take their medicine after PCI, which is significant because this group is at a higher risk for serious complications or dying from a heart attack," he said in a university news release. Using medical claims data that included prescriptions filled at pharmacies, the researchers examined the records of more than 124,000 patients who had the procedure and were also diagnosed with depression.

Scott Lawn, owner of Greenway Irrigation, Lawns and Landscape, says he loves his job partly because he can be creative every day.

Greenway uses an “enhanced efficiency fertilizer,” which Lawn said was developed in the past couple of years and is designed to be a slow time-release fertilizer. Fertilization and watering go hand in hand, Lawn said. The pavers — which can be used for driveways, patios and backyards — are available in a “myriad of colors and textures,” Lawn said. Greenway provides an annual lawn plan and a one-time or spring starter fertilizing visit. Irrigation and fertilization are keys for natural lawns, and having a professional in charge is vital, he added. “In our case, it worked out wonderfully,” he said.
