FROM ONU.EDU/NEWS__Luke Sheets, BFA ’95, traces his passion for ceramics to a class he took at Ohio Northern University 34 years ago.

“It’s almost a cliche among ceramicists, but the moment I started working with the material, I was hooked,” he said.

Sheets, now professor of art and director of ONU’s School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences in the Getty College of Arts & Sciences, started at ONU as an undergraduate engineering major with an art minor.

"Backed up" is a term used to describe the state of constipation. Eggbound is a Northern British saying for constipation, while FarFromPoopin is a funny slang term to describe the condition. However, there is nothing funny about chronic constipation.

Chronic constipation affects about 14% of adults around the world. It more commonly affects older adults, women and non-White populations. Many things can worsen constipation, including not eating enough fiber, diet, lack of physical activity, stress, depression and certain medications.
