Arsenal FC captain Per Mertesacker was full of praise for the new Gunners’ goalkeeper Petr Cech, as he believes the squad has gained a new a hungera for trophies.
Former Chelsea FC goalkeeper Petr Cech may have transferred to Arsenal during the summer, but is already having an undeniable effect on the defence as well as in the squad. John Terry had previously predicted that Cech would help Arsenal win 10-12 points over the course of the season, and the current Arsenal FC captain Per Mertesacker has echoed similar sentiments. In an interview with Sky Sports, the Germany international expressed his belief that the personality of Cech has rubbed off on the squad and can be seen during the game.
“You know that if they get a really clear chance Petr can do something about it. He’s always someone who can save your day. That gives everyone a big lift, not only the back four. The way he is commanding and vocal makes him vital. He is one of our leaders and he deserves it.
“He has played at a high level and he is still very hungry and, no matter how successful he was at Chelsea, I think he gives our team that hunger we maybe need. He is an experienced player that everyone looks up to and he’s important for our structure as well.a
Arsenal to win the Premier League?
Arsenal FC have shown tremendous form this season as they maintain their pressure on league leaders Manchester City, but this season everything — beginning from the managera s confidence in the press conference to the players nicking result when the chips are down — has been different in comparison to the previous few seasons. Arsenal FC fans will no doubt be wondering whether this might finally be their year. Mertesacker, though, was careful enough to tread lightly on the question regarding their season ambitions.
a We haven’t proved anything yet but what we have learned is to take it game by game,” said the defender. “The last couple of years we have lost a few games here and there, especially away from home. But we take it really seriously because we can see there is not that much difference between the top and us. Last season I think it was 15 points at this stage and now it’s completely different. It gives you a reason to be as efficient as we are at the minute.”
Petr Cech – the missing piece?
Arsenal FCa s title challenge over the past few seasons have suffered for various reasons — one of which was a lack of top class goalkeeper. The emergence of Francis Coquelin solved their problem in midfield, while Wenger resolved the problematic position in goal by signing Petr Cech, who is considered to be one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.
Former team-mate Terry had emphasised the importance of Cech during the past decade and soon after the Czech goalkeeper signed for their London rivals, the Blues’ skipper predicted that he would help the Gunners win at least 10 points over the course of the season. It would be worth noting that the difference between the team that won the title last season — Chelsea FC — and Arsenal, who were third, was only 12 points.

This part of ISO 28927 specifies a laboratory method for measuring the vibration at the handle of continuous operating fastener driving tools. It is a type test procedure for establishing the vibration value in the handle of a hand-held power tool operating under a specified load. Fastening tools without continuous operating modes are very unlikely to contribute significantly to risk of vibration injury. In addition, there are uncertainties regarding the application of vibration measurement based on existing International Standards to low-rate or single impact machines. For these reasons, this International standard assumes vibration emissions result in a daily dose [A(8)] less than 2.5m/s² for low power fastening tools without continuous operating modes. However, if individual tools are likely to emit vibration at levels higher than 2.5m/s² (when averaged over periods of typical tool operation according to ISO 5349-2) vibration emission values based on sample work activities should be given for that tool.

In its continuing efforts at suicide prevention, The Caribbean Voice launched its community outreach and students’ self esteem workshop in Demerara in April.
The community outreach is geared towards reaching out to communities which have high suicide rates and investing in sessions that enable such communities to voice their fears, concerns, experiences and suggestions. Additionally, the outreach provides the communities with strategies and information that will help them to be proactive first responders for their respective communities.
Held at Parfaite Harmonie on April 8th, 2016, in collaboration with lead organizer, Orchid Foundation, along with GIVE Foundation, the inaugural community outreach focused on self-esteem, suicide awareness and prevention and related issues, especially teenage pregnancy. Presenters included Bibi Ahamad, Chandanie Rooplall and Rayon Mantoos of TCV, Dr. Mark and Ms. Indra Constantine of Orchid Foundation and Daniel Ali of GIVE Foundation.
According to Dr. Constantine, “We From the Orchid Foundation found it an extreme delight to have Partnered with CaribeanVoice in the hosting of a Community Awareness outreach on Suicide Awareness and Prevention. The session was very well attended with some 45 people from the community of Parfaite Harmonie and its environs in attendance. It is my hope that we would be able to, in the future, partner again for such programs in other communities, as we together seek to inform and educate the Guyanese populace on these social issues.”
Daniel Ali of GIVE Foundation, added, “Overall I think the audience was well informed. They got to know about the suicide hotline , the reason(s) why the Caribbean Voice is pleading with the Government for the age of consent to be raised from 16 to 18 , and also they got an to opportunity to better understand the dilemma in today’s society regarding suicide and depression. The audience received leaflets with the suicide hotline numbers and words of encouragement to build their ‘self esteem’. In addition they got brochures revealing information about suicide, prepared by the Give Foundation.”
The occasion was also used to launch TCVs two petitions, calling on H.E. President David Granger and his government to establish a registry of sex offenders and raise the age of consent to 18 years. Attendees also signed and pocketed the “ME” pledge developed by The Caribbean Voice and lunched during a press conference at Cara Hotel on February 9th. The pledge encourages self-esteem awareness and provides the suicide hotlines to signers. This pledge has already been widely distributed, including to a number of schools in Berbice and Demerara.
The self-esteem workshop is a follow up to similar workshops held last year in high schools in Berbice, by the New Jersey Humanitarian Mission (NJASM), in collaboration with Peace Corp and the Ministry of Education. It provides students with information and strategies to build self-esteem, develop self confidence and practice self- forgiveness. The occasion is also used to interact with students to solicit first hand information and views about suicide and general mental health issues, drawn from their experiences and experiences from their schools and communities.
Held at Covent Garden Secondary School on April 28th, in collaboration with lead organizer, GIVE Foundation, along with POTS, GRPA and the US Ambassador Youth Program, the self-esteem workshop was combined with another community outreach. Based on feedback and information gathered, GIVE Foundation, The Caribbean Voice and other stakeholders will return to the same venue for a follow up. Also in the coming months this workshop hopefully would be taken to secondary schools and youth entities throughout Guyana, again in partnerships with locally based groups and other stakeholders.
It must be noted that both in Berbice and at the workshop at Covent Garden Secondary, it was learnt that many young people suffer from depression and suicide ideation, as well as sexual and physical abuse, which are often hidden via threats and appeal to family ‘honor’.
Meanwhile, The Caribbean Voice extends an open invitation to community based organizations, faith based organizations, educational institutions and other NGOs and locally based entities to contact us to organize outreaches and self esteem workshops in communities and schools across Guyana. Call Bibi at 621-6111 or 223-2637, Pandit Deodat at 627-4432, Chandanie at 697-9968 or email email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.org or email@example.com.

Discover the Pure Delight of Organic & Biodynamic Wines – Nurturing Your Palate and the Planet
April was Earth Month & May is Oregon Wine Month! What a great time to celebrate the beauty of Oregon wine country and to renew our commitment to protecting it for future generations.
If you’re a wine lover, there’s no better way to celebrate than by exploring the sustainable and environmentally friendly wineries in Newberg, Oregon.
Here are some local wineries & farms that are leading the way in sustainable winegrowing practices:
Alexana Winery – Farmed completely by hand, there are a variety of sustainable farming practices in Alexana’s Revana Estate Vineyard to promote soil health, encourage consistent and exceptional grapes, and ensure the longevity of their small vineyard. Inlcuding, cover crops, integrated pest management, being LIVE certified and Salmon Safe.
What is a LIVE Certification?
The LIVE acronym stands for Low Input Viticulture Enology and it supports environmentally and socially responsible wine growing through third-party certification and education. Their roots are in the Pacific Northwest and their standard is internationally accredited and recognized. Learn More
Salmon-Safe works with west coast farmers, developers, and other environmentally innovative landowners to reduce watershed impacts through rigorous third-party verified certification. Learn More
ArborBrook Vineyards – ArborBrook Vineyards is a family-owned and operated winery that has been certified by LIVE and Salmon-Safe. They use only sustainable, organic farming practices and have implemented many environmentally friendly practices in their winemaking operations. In January of 2022, Arborbrook was acquired by Cooper Mountain Vineyards, a family-run pioneer of organic and biodynamic viticulture in Oregon (est. 1978). This new chapter passes the property from one Oregon family to another, and brings Arborbrook under the management of Cooper Mountain Vineyards, which now farms over 200 acres of Willamette Valley soil organically and biodynamically.
Brick House Wine Co. – This winery has been practicing organic farming since its founding in 1990 and are a Demeter certified Biodynamic® farm. They use no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers and their vineyards are LIVE certified. They also use renewable energy sources and have implemented many other sustainable practices throughout their operations.
Chehalem Winery – Chehalem Winery is committed to sustainable farming practices. Ridgecrest, Corral Creek, Stoller, and Chehalem Estate vineyards are LIVE and Salmon Safe certified. They do not use herbicides; weeds are controlled by hand and mechanization, and vineyarsa are dry farmed whenever possible to reduce the stress on ground water sources.
Trisaetum Winery – Trisaetum Winery along with Brixeur Spirits is a family-owned winery and distillery that is dedicated to sustainability. Each of Trisaetum’s estate vineyards preserve at least 50% of the natural habitat since a vibrant, healthy, ecosystem creates a healthier vineyard and more complex wines.
Vines may self-pollinate, but there is a whole living and breathing ecosystem that sustains them. Bees can’t survive the cocktail of chemicals and the constant tilling of soils often used in modern viticulture. In 2020, Trisaetum launched a 5-year project with Bee Girl to sponsor research to help prove the link between the quantity of happy native bees and the quality of fine wine.
Raise a Glass to the Future of Sustainable Winemaking when you visit these eco-conscious wineries and more during your next visit to Newberg.

Most people who want to lose weight have more than 12 pounds to lose. That’s why even the best weight loss drug in the world can only be an optional complement to other treatment. That’s why this piece of advice is number 18 out of 18. It may be a helpful addition for some people, but the advice higher on the list is what can make the biggest difference, by far.
“Starting slow and working your way up is better than overdoing it and giving up,” says Gagliardi. “I like the idea of attaching the new behavior of taking a walk to an existing behavior.” An easy way to approach it: Commit to going for a quick 10-minute walk after dinner, and slowly increase the time as you become more comfortable with daily movement.
We just don't feel full by liquid calories in quite the same way as we do real food. Drinking a juice or caramel coffee drink just isn't as satisfying as eating a bowl of veggie- and protein-packed stir-fry. So monitor your intake of juice, soda, sweetened coffee and tea, and alcoholic beverages. If you consume each of those beverages during the day, you'll have taken in at least 800 extra calories by nighttime — and you'll still be hungry. (Incidentally, alcohol may suppress the metabolism of fat, making it tougher for you to burn those calories.)
While few would suggest you start hitting up the tanning beds for better health, getting some natural sunlight can help you get rid of those extra inches on your waist in a hurry. Researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found that vitamin D-deficient overweight women between 50 and 75 who upped their intake of the so-called sunshine vitamin shed more weight and body fat than those who didn’t. To practice safe sun, make sure you’re limiting yourself to 15 sunscreen-free minutes per day.
A diet that’s low in fat and carbohydrates can improve artery function, according to a 2012 study by Johns Hopkins researchers. After six months, those on the low-carb diet had lost more weight, and at a faster pace. But in both groups, when weight was lost—and especially when belly fat shrank—the arteries were able to expand better, allowing blood to travel more freely. The study shows that you don’t have to cut out all dietary fat to shrink belly fat. For heart health, simply losing weight and exercising seems to be key.
Reducing alcohol intake can also help, says Fine. Alcohol contains about seven calories per gram—"just under fat, which equates to nine calories per gram.” And because alcohol is absorbed quickly, “when over-consumed, alcohol metabolism impairs metabolism of other macronutrients, such as carbs and fat, promoting…fat storage rather than breakdown,” she says.
Don’t buy your tickets to Bonnaroo just yet; the kind of acid that will help you slim down is the stuff right inside your cabinet. A 12-week study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry reveals that obese study subjects who made vinegar part of their diet dropped more belly fat than a control group, and other research suggests that acidic foods, like vinegar, can increase the human carbohydrate metabolism by as much as 40 percent.
Dr. Smith applies this same idea to diet. He maintains that if you eat the same foods all the time, your body adjusts to that specific diet. Your metabolism stabilizes and fat accumulates as a result. By varying the types and quantities of food you eat, you’ll prevent your metabolism from slowing down and trick your body into burning more calories. In this way, diet confusion keeps your metabolism off-kilter and fuels your fat-burning engines.
Avoid sweetened drinks. Drinks that are sweetened, whether artificially or naturally, will have little nutritional value and add lots of empty calories to your diet. Do not drink fruit juice or other sweetened drinks. Even natural sugars will increase your daily calorie intake and prevent weight loss. If you chose to drink juice, do not exceed 4 oz per day (1/2 cup). Instead of drinking sweetened beverages throughout your day, drink unsweetened, calorie-free beverages. Some beverages to avoid include:
I read this on the recommendation of a colleague. There's plenty of sound advice in this book, including rounding out your meals with healthy snacks and lots of fruits and veggies, as well as tips for staying hydrated and for ensuring your workouts don't work against you. That said, I think the content wasn't for me: Dr. Smith provides a detailed meal plan you must follow for a month. I would have liked this book to include more about his diet philosophy and less menu information. I understand t ...more
If you’ve been eating fast food for years, get real about your approach: You’re probably not going to stick to an organic, gluten-free, paleo overhaul for very long. "You want to change as little as possible to create calorie deficit," says Dr. Seltzer, who insists the best way to support sustainable weight loss is to incorporate small changes into existing habits. So instead of giving up your daily BLT bagels in favor of an egg-white wrap, try ordering your sandwich on a lighter English muffin. Or say you eat a snack bar every afternoon: Swap your 300-calorie bar for a 150-calorie alternative. "Your brain will feel the same way about it, so you won’t feel deprived," he says.
A body of research out of Pennsylvania State University finds that eating water-rich foods such as zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers during meals reduces your overall calorie consumption. Other water-rich foods include soups and salads. You won’t get the same benefits by just drinking your water, though (but you will get other benefits of staying hydrated). Because the body processes hunger and thirst through different mechanisms, it simply doesn’t register a sense of fullness with water (or soda, tea, coffee, or juice). Here are 15 weight loss tips doctors wish you would stop following.
Your parents weren’t kidding about how important veggies are for a healthy body. What they probably didn’t tell you, however, was that snacking on veggies is also one of the easiest ways to shed unwanted belly fat, too. According to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, opting for non-starchy veggies, like cauliflower, broccoli, and cucumber, as snacks helped overweight kids shed 17 percent of their visceral fat while improving their insulin sensitivity over a five-year period. Think snacking on veggies will leave you hungry? The 20 Most Filling Fruits and Veggies will have your belly satisfied in no time.
Don't get me wrong — exercising at any time is good for you. But evening activity may be particularly beneficial because many people's metabolism slows down toward the end of the day. Thirty minutes of aerobic activity before dinner increases your metabolic rate and may keep it elevated for another two or three hours, even after you've stopped moving. Plus, it'll help you relax post-meal so you won't be tempted by stress-induced grazing that can rack up calories.
3. Doing Bicycles not only help to melt belly fat it also works on the muscles of your upper body. For this you have to lie on your back and raise your legs at 90 degree, then bend your legs to 90 degree and hold it. Keep your hands under your head and slowly raise your head and shoulder off the ground. Now with a fast movement bring your right elbow to your left knee and extend your right leg in the front. You have to switch sides fast to create the cycling effect. Use your core muscles to keep your head and shoulder above the ground throughout the exercise. Do 20 repetitions and add 10 as you become stronger.
Don’t let extra hours lounging in bed stand between you and a flatter belly. While getting enough sleep can help boost your metabolic rate, sleeping in may undo any benefit you’d enjoy from catching a few extra winks. One Obesity study reveals that late sleepers who snoozed past 10:45 in the morning ate nearly 250 more calories over the course of the day, despite eating half as many fruits and vegetables as their early bird counterparts. Even worse, they chowed down on more salty, sugary, and trans-fat-laden fast food than those who woke up earlier. If you happen to head out of the house early, you’re in for an additional metabolic boost; researchers at Northwestern University have found that people exposed to just a short period of early morning sunlight had lower BMIs than their late-waking counterparts.

The Department of Environmental Quality issued a Drought Watch on Wednesday, October 11, 2017?
What is a Drought Watch Advisory?
According to DEQ, A Drought Watch Advisory is intended to increase awareness of conditions that are likely to precede a significant drought event and to facilitate preparation for a drought. An advisory was issued on October 11, 2017 for the Upper Roanoke River basin because drought watch indicators in the state’s Drought Assessment and Response Plan have been met.
According to the Virginia Drought Monitoring Task Force, an interagency group representing state and federal agencies, the primary factors contributing to the declaration of the drought advisory are:
- Precipitation totals are less than 75% of normal over the past 90 days and less than 25% of normal over the last 30 days across much of the areas covered by the Middle James, Roanoke River and Shenandoah regions
- Stream flows are lower than 75 percent to 95 percent of recorded flows, indicating a moderate to severe hydrologic drought – a period of below-average water content in streams, aquifers, lakes and soils.
- Groundwater levels are lower than 75 to 95 percent of previously recorded September and October levels.
How does this impact the Western Virginia Water Authority's customers?
The Authority's drinking water supply comes from a variety of surface water and groundwater sources. While the Drought Watch Advisory is triggered by precipitation and river/stream flows, the Authority's two largest sources of water in the Roanoke Valley, the Carvins Cove and Spring Hollow Reservoirs, offer the benefit of storing water for future use. Instead of having to rely on one source of water or a river that is immediately impacted by drought conditions, the Authority can balance the drinking water needs of customers across five surface water sources of water, a large groundwater source and multiple wells.
The Carvins Cove Reservoir holds 6.42- billion gallons of water and the Spring Hollow Reservoir holds 3.2-billion gallons of water at full pond. Based on current demand, these reservoirs store two-years worth of water.
Although Authority customers are encouraged to always use water wisely, the available water supply in these reservoirs and the Authority's other sources does not suggest that any conservation measures are not needed to be put in place at this time.
What are the current reservoir levels?
The reservoir levels of Carvins Cove and Spring Hollow are monitored daily and updated each morning on our online reservoir level page. While the reservoirs are not currently full, each reservoir still holds over 85% of their full-pond capacity.
These levels are compared to historic levels at the same time of year. The Authority expects the reservoirs to be at their lowest level during the fall because of summer evaporation, a historically dry time of year and increased demand for water during the summer months. In late fall, remnants of tropical storms and late season rain events typically start to fill the reservoirs again.
Is there a Drought Plan at the Western Virginia Water Authority?
Because Carvins Cove depends on participation and runoff from the watershed to replenish its supply, the Western Virginia Water Authority's Drought Contingency Plan is based on the Carvins Cove reservoir levels during a particular month of the year. Extensive precipitation and reservoir level data gathered over the decades was used to develop this plan. Declining reservoir levels trigger specific water use restrictions. Based on current levels, the level of Carvins Cove would need to drop almost 15-feet in order for Voluntary Water Conservation, the first step of the plan, to be triggered.
If you have additional questions about your drinking water or the water supply, please contact our Customer Service team at 853.5700 or firstname.lastname@example.org.

The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to seek Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention in the Krishna water row with Telangana. The issue took a serious turn especially after the observations made by the National Green Tribunal and the Centre seeking detailed project reports of the Srisailam power project.
In an urgently called Cabinet meeting, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has expressed serious discontent at the Telangana government. The CM said that he will seek Prime Minister Narendra Modi intervention and hit out at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for issuing orders to produce electricity at the Srisailam power project.
“We will not compromise to use our share of water from Krishna basin and not allow Telangana to violate on the projects and drawing of waters,” he said.
“I am desisting from talking more on the water row as it will lead to problems for AP people in Telangana and Hyderabad,” Jagan Reddy said.
The Andhra CM objected that Telangana is unmindful of his government objections and Krishna Board norms on power production.
Jagan Mohan Reddy chaired a cabinet meeting in his camp office in Velagapudi. “We will seek PM Modi’s intervention on river water and other issues of power production and illegal projects in Telangana which are violating water board directions,” he said.
He said that there is no ample water in the Srisailam project area to produce electricity. The TRS Government is ignoring Andhra’s rights and going ahead with the power projects in violation of norms, he alleged.

Hippophae Rhamnoides seed oil
Antioxidative effect, conditions skins, moisture retention
Rhamnoides seed oil (Seaberry oil) is also called Sea buckthorn oil. This is an oil extract obtained from seeds and fruits of Sea buckthorn (Elaeagnaceae) that is growing wild in areas including Eastern Europe and China.
As a sea buckthorn likes sunlight and is so vigorous as to grow well even under severe environments, it is also called “Willy.” Meanwhile, it is also known as “Hippophae” in Japan, it is used as a wild medicinal plant in China. With its strong antioxidative effect, it is highly effective for skin-care such as giving vitality in dried skins or tired skins. It is contained in cosmetics for antioxidant and anti-aging purposes. Containing a lot of unsaturated fatty acid including palmitoleic acid, it promotes regeneration of skin cells and helps heal damages.
Called as “great source of vitamins and nutrients,” its orange colored fruit contains a proper balance of various substances including palmitoleic acid, various minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium; zinc, and vitamins, amino acid, polyphenol carotenoid, vitamin E, flavonoid, and organic acid. Containing abundant vitamin C and other vitamins such as vitamin E and beta-carotene, its abundant nutrients provides skins with rich-moisture, firmness, and transparency, and prevents skin irritations.

It turns out the 1913 play by Hobson’s Choice writer Harold Brighouse has parallels with his best known work (strong-willed young daughters rallying against paternal and societal norms), but unbelievably has been regarded as a ‘lost’ work, rarely performed since it’s debut – at the Playhouse, no less – at the turn of the century. Unbelievable, because the quality of this play (not to mention this production) is remarkable, and the story thoroughly entertaining.
The Game tells the story of Austin Whitworth (Barrie Rutter), upper class football club owner, who is forced to sell his best and most loyal player, Metherell, to a rival club to keep the business afloat. However, he will later beg the footballer to throw the game when the teams meet.
Once again the Playhouse (like its sister theatre the Everyman) has been simply uncanny in the timing and relevance of its programming. As Whitworth feared relegation and ruin, the recent failures of LFC loomed large. And seeing the show on the day the Beckhams were hitting the headlines for their latest attempts to block lurid allegations once again made the 100-year-old text spookily pertinent.
And what text – beautifully written, Brighouse fleshes out his characters with real warmth and affection, and creates some wonderful dialogue in the process, as well as dealing with timeless issues of class and sporting politic. His creations are each and every one loveable, and the women, as in Hobson’s Choice, ahead of their time. I loved foppish, artistically workshy Leo (Jos Vantyler), stoic and virtuous star player Jack Metherell (Phil Rowson) and strong-willed, feminine Elsie (Catherine Kinsella).
Trouble brews, and the show is stolen, with the entrance of Metherell’s battleaxe mother (Coronation Street’s Cilla, Wendi Peters), that threatens to put the brakes on Jack and Elsie’s across-the-class-divide romance. It’s a measured performance, comic without hamming, and a beautifully revealing study of a hard-working Northern mother’s love.
This warm, funny and beautifully acted performance is a real treat. It runs at the Playhouse until Saturday.
You can read a nice piece on the revival of The Game in the Guardian, here.

Canby Then is brought to you by Retro Revival. They are not your average antique shop. Open daily. Find them on the corner of NW Third and Grant in downtown Canby.
What will the world of the year 2000 look like? This was the question posed to Canby high school students in a 1916 English class.
Their predictions included self-starting flying machines and an “automatic horse saddler.” We give them an “A” for imagination, and a “D” for accuracy. But hindsight, as they say, is 20/20.
One of the most creative suggestions was a pill that would give you an instant understanding of algebra, English and German. Nice to know that the kids of 100 years ago were just as anxious to avoid studying as the ones we have today.
The 1911 merger with the Riverside School District had left Canby with its first full-fledged high school class … and a serious space problem. When the so-called “Canby Castle” opened the following year on North Grant and Fourth Avenue, it helped ease crowding for a few years, but the rapidly growing district was soon at capacity again.
In 1912, Canby fielded its first baseball team. It was coached by P.L. Coleman, one of the city’s top educators along with the legendary Howard Eccles. Speaking of legends, P.L.’s son, Ralph, was on the team.
Beaver baseball fans may recognize Coleman Field as the name of the ballpark at Oregon State University, named after Ralph Coleman, the longtime coach who compiled a record of 561–316–1 over 35 years, won 10 division titles and was nicknamed “The Silver Fox.”
Before all that, Ralph Coleman was born and raised right here in Canby, and graduated from Canby High.
In 1913, a Canby “basket ball” team journeyed to Park Place for its first-ever game, which they won, in a real barn burner. The final score was 23 to 22.
“They were accompanied by a loyal band of rooters and were well pleased with their showing,” The Canby Herald dutifully noted. “With a little more experience the team will be hard to beat.”
What was at that time known as “the war to end all wars” soon broke out, and the United States joined the fray on April 6, 1917, declaring war on Germany. At least 27 Canby boys enlisted, most of them former or even current high school students. Several never came home.
A small ceremony was held at the school in their honor in March 1918. A flag containing the names of the 27 service members was unfurled and hung in the auditorium by Mrs. Otto Schaubel, who had three sons in the service.
Gold stars were used to mark those who had made the ultimate sacrifice. There were three at first: Burton Brown, Clifford Brown and Lee Harding. But more would be added before the final armistice was declared: Harold Vinyard, Ralph Mandeville, Eddie Hulras, and two brothers, Jonas and Edwin Deetz.
Enrollment rose to 120 in 1922, with course offerings that included Latin, Algebra, Civics, Bookkeeping, Geometry, Physics, English, Physiology, Biology, Sewing, History, French, General Science and a terrifying subject they called “Higher Arithmetic.”
That same year, the school board hired a bus owned and driven by a local resident, Ed Shull, to pick up high school students in the outlying areas of Paradise Corner, Macksburg, Yost Corner and Lone Elder. It was evidently this practice that helped spark discussion of a new union high school.
The consolidated district was approved during a meeting at the Methodist Episcopal Church. Delegates of the 16 districts voted unanimously in favor, though they agreed to hold off on any new construction for a time, so as “to prevent any heavy tax burdens resulting from the formation of the new district.”
Heavy burdens were not a concern for a group of 30 Canby residents, most of them high school students, who summited Mount Hood in a 1926 trek led by Superintendent Gardner and physics teacher Wayne Gurley. Talk about a field trip!
A couple days later, several of the young men showed up at the Herald’s offices, eager to give their account.
“Their hands and limbs show the effects of the sharp pointed ice over which they were compelled to climb in crossing Elliott Glacier” the reporter later wrote. “They were forced to work their way over cliffs by means of a rope. When they had accomplished the task and reached the top of the snow-capped peak, all were willing to acknowledge they had been working. But the view from the mountaintop, Mr. Zimmerman said, is worth the climb. It is a most beautiful spectacle.”
Sadly, the newspaper does not record how many selfies the kids took at the top.
The new union high school’s first graduating class in 1927 had 29 students, and the board of directors was ready to start building. Two proposed locations were put before voters, but it was the 29-acre site in southwest Canby, donated by New Era farmer George H. Brown, that was the runaway favorite.
It was later described as one of the largest and most lopsided results in local elections history, with 450 ballots cast in favor and only 14 on the other side.
Rivaling it, though, would be another one-sided result that same year, in which Aurora voters were asked if they should join the crowd in becoming part of the Canby Union High School District. “NO,” they overwhelmingly said, with 86 voting against, and only four in favor.
According to a newspaper story from the time that I 100 percent believe, someone asked, “How did there come to be four votes in favor of the proposition? There were only three petitioners.”
“That’s easy,” another replied. “One of the petitioners must have been a married man.”
We have many more colorful stories to tell you from the history of the Canby School District, but it will have to wait till next time, on Canby Then.

Islamabad, (IANS) Pakistani security forces on Thursday launched combing operations after an attack on American University in Kabul, in which 12 people were killed, based on mobile phone numbers that were used during the attack.
Pakistan Army Chief, General Raheel Sharif, told Afghan President Ashraf Ghani through telephone that “Pakistani soil would not be allowed to be used for any type of terrorism in Afghanistan.”
According to the army’s information wing, Raheel Sharif condemned terrorists’ attack on the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul and expressed his sympathies with the bereaved families, Xinhua reported.
He said Afghan authorities have shared three mobile telephone numbers allegedly used during the university attack who were on contact with the attackers.
“It may be mentioned here that based on these three Afghan cell numbers provided by Afghan authorities, Pakistan Army carried out a combing operation in suspected area closer to Pak-Afghan border to verify presence of miscreants,” Raheel Sharif informed Ghani.
He told the Afghan leader that the outcome of the operation so far has been shared with Afghan authorities, adding further technical evaluation of the cellphone numbers, all Afghan, is being carried out.
For his part, Ghani called for “serious and practical measures against the terrorists,” according to the president’s office, while the Pakistan army chief assured Ghani of all-out cooperation on availability of further information from Afghanistan.

Bears should follow Eagles plan to set Justin Fields up for success – NBC Chicago
Bears should follow Eagles plan to set Fields up for success originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
When the Philadelphia Eagles arrive at Soldier Field in Week 15, we should have a good idea of the state of the Bears’ rebuilding under coach Matt Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles.
The hope is that after 14 weeks, Justin Fields will have established himself as a franchise quarterback and Eberflus will have acquitted himself well as a leader and tactician.
In Week 15, the Bears should take a hard look at the Howie Roseman roster built around quarterback Jalen Hurts. A roster that got even better on Wednesday when Philadelphia signed cornerback James Bradberry to a one-year, $10 million deal.
Roseman rebuilt the Eagles on the fly in two years, and it’s a plan the Bears can try to follow starting next offseason.
At the end of the 2020 season, the Eagles fired a Super Bowl-winning coach in Doug Pederson, took a massive dead blow washing their hands of Carson Wentz, and had a roster with multiple holes.
The Eagles loved Hurts but weren’t sure he was the long-term answer. But rather than judge Hurts based on his brief stint of a rookie year with Greg Ward, Jalen Reagor and Quez Watkins as his best receivers, the Eagles got to work to improve the situation around Hurts.
The idea was simple: Improve the roster across the board and give Hurts the best chance to prove he’s a franchise QB. If he succeeds, the Eagles will have their man and a talented team. If he doesn’t, they have a winning roster that will be appealing to any top QB looking for a change of scenery.
Roseman’s first big swing actually came in the offseason ahead of the 2020 season when he acquired Darius Slay from the Detroit Lions to give his secondary an elite corner of coverage.
After a 4-11-1 in 2020, the holes in the Eagles’ roster were obvious, as was the way forward.
Philadelphia had key veterans to build around center Jason Kelce, defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, point carrier Brandon Graham and tackle Lane Johnson. The secondary, outside of Slay, was a mess. Other than tight end Dallas Goedert, the skill positions were a lousy sight. The offensive line and linebacking corps were good but needed a boost.
Roseman signed veteran safety Anthony Harris to give the secondary a stabilizer at the back. Then he made a series of draft trades that ultimately ended with the selection of wide receiver DeVonta Smith Jr. and offensive lineman Landon Dickerson.
Roseman also acquired a 2022 first-round pick from the Miami Dolphins and a conditional first-round pick from the Indianapolis Colts in the Wentz trade.
After some early growing pains under first head coach Nick Sirianni, the Eagles went from 4-11-1 in 2020 to 9-8 and a wildcard spot in 2021. The offensive line paved the way for the best NFL runners. offense, Smith gave Hurts a clear No. 1 receiver, and the defense was trending up.
The Eagles were stuck by the Tampa Bay Bucs in the NFC Wild Card Round, but things were clearly going in the right direction. Hurts had his moments in his first full season as a starter. He threw for 3,144 yards and 16 touchdowns while rushing for 784 yards and 10 scores.
Hurts didn’t cement himself as a franchise QB, but he did enough to allow Roseman to focus on completing the roster around him this offseason.
The big move was the 2022 NFL Draft day trade for AJ Brown. The addition of Brown allows the Eagles to move Smith to second and gives Hurts a solid arsenal of offensive weapons. But Philadelphia has done most of its work on defense. The Eagles signed linebackers Haason Reddick and Kyzir White, drafted Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis and linebacker Nakobe Dean, and signed Bradberry on Wednesday, giving them two top corners.
In 18 months, Roseman transformed the Eagles from the NFC East doormat into a legitimate Super Bowl threat.
Hurts is still a question mark, but the Eagles have built a roster around him with no gaping holes. He has top targets, a powerful rushing offense and a solid defense.
The Bears have a bigger hill to climb than the Eagles.
Eberflus and the Poles received a list that had to be demolished to the posts. But good veteran players like Roquan Smith, Eddie Jackson and Robert Quinn remain. Chicago has good running backs and should have a young and talented secondary with the additions of Brisker and Gordon.
The Bears are expected to have $112 million in cap room next offseason and will likely have a top-10 draft pick.
If Fields leaves the 2021 season with his confidence intact and on an uptrend, the Bears need to follow the Eagles’ model and give Fields a fair chance to prove he can be a franchise quarterback.
The Eagles could have destroyed everything after the 2020 season, traded their veterans and put Hurts in a no-win situation. Instead, Roseman saw the potential for a quick restart around a raw but talented quarterback, knowing Philadelphia would be in a good place even if Hurts fell short.
The plan is there for the Bears to do the same starting next offseason. It would behoove them to pay close attention to the other sideline in Week 15. That might just be their fastest path to relevance.

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?
Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan’s life. Having missed her flight, she’s stuck at JFK airport and late to her father’s second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley’s never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport’s cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he’s British, and he’s sitting in her row.
A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?
Quirks of timing play out in this romantic and cinematic novel about family connections, second chances, and first loves. Set over a twenty-four-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver’s story will make you believe that true love finds you when you’re least expecting it.

My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
So I’m officially a fan of Jennifer E. Smith now. This is the second book of hers I’ve read in two months that I really, really enjoyed. I guess I should probably give The Geography of You and Me another chance. Maybe I’ll like it better now ;)
About the book…
Yes, it’s a contemporary romance, but surprisingly that wasn’t the deepest part about this novel, and I wouldn’t say it was my favorite part, either. Hadley, our main character is going through a difficult period with her dad after her parents’ divorce. In fact, the only reason Hadley meets Oliver is because she’s flying over to London for her father’s wedding, something she’s dreading.
I totally understand why Hadley’s mad at and hurt by her father, too. He kind of skipped out on Hadley and her mom by moving to England and then having an affair with his now-fiancé. But each chapter Hadley confronts a memory or fear about her father that causes her to reflect on the deterioration of their relationship and what she wishes it would be like, and meeting Oliver at the airport on the way to London is what forces her to do that. Along the way she develops feelings for Oliver, but in my opinion this novel is less about falling in love and more about restoring relationships. There’s one heartwarming chapter in particular that really tugged at my feelings, but I don’t want to say anything more about it to avoid spoilers!
Read This Book If…
…you love stories about reconciliations.
…you enjoy novels that touch on darker emotions, such as grief, hate, heartbreak, and unforgiveness.
…you like characters who make you laugh (Oliver is an adorable dork).
…you like reading books about parent-child relationships.
“In the end, it’s not the changes that will break your heart; it’s that tug of familiarity.”
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is definitely a re-readable book for me! I loved Hadley and Oliver and the journey they take together. They reminded me that being a teenager is tough and that everyone has complicated relationships with their parents, but that’s not a reason to give up on them because of a falling-out. And on a lighter note, Oliver and Hadley were adorable together! There were several moments in this book that gave me “heart eyes” :)

President Biden and Vice President Harris both flew to Atlanta to meet with elected and community leaders about the mass shooting, their covid relief package and voting rights. The governor, Brian Kemp, did not greet them when they both arrived in Atlanta as is customary because he’s a Republiqan and a total dick. As Stacey Abrams and Senator Jon Ossoff walked into Emory University where the meeting was taking place the crowd cheered like they were rock stars. Because they are.
President Biden made a televised speech from Emory University but was an hour late because he met first with leaders from the Asian community about the mass shooting and the crimes against Asians. He called it “heart wrenching.” Before introducing President Biden, VP Kamala Harris made her own speech where she, a woman of color and a child of immigrants, called homegrown hatred out — “For the last year, we’ve had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian Americans. People with the biggest pulpit, spreading this kind of hate. ……Racism is real in America and it has always been. Xenophobia is real in America and always has been. Sexism too…. A harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us. The president and I will not be silent. We will not stand by. We will always speak out against violence, hate crimes and discrimination wherever and whenever it occurs.”
Asians are being attacked while minding their own business and walking down the street. Black people are being killed by the cops and being denied the right to vote. Latinos are still reeling from being rounded up and deported or threatened with it, Muslims are treated as terrorists, LGBTQs are being legislated against and used as political footballs, indigenous peoples are so invisible it’s as if genocide was 100% successful, women are being denied the right to control the size of their families and forced to live on less than men for the same work. You know who isn’t oppressed or threatened in any way? White men. They have more power, privilege and prosperity than anybody and yet it still isn’t enough. They have to kick everyone else when they’re down, shove their privilege in everybody’s faces and dare them to touch it, and even kill people, just to remind everyone that the penthouse for dicks is not accessible to the rest of us. Only they have access to that floor and don’t you ever forget it.
Speaking of don’t you ever forget it, there has been a bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest who was a Confederate General, slave trader, murderer, and the first grand wizard of the KKK, displayed in the Tennessee state capitol since 1978. The KKK was present at its unveiling. Democrats are are trying to get rid of it but the Republiqans are fighting them. They like it and want it to stay put because they’re Republiqans and total dicks.
12 total dick Republiqans voted no on giving Capitol Hill police officers Gold Medals for protecting them on January 6. They are: Louie Gohmert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Andy Biggs, Thomas Massie, Andy Harris, Lance Gooden, Matt Gaetz, Michael Cloud, Andrew Clyde, Bob Good, Greg Steube, and John Rose. 11 of them are members of the seditionist party and voted to overturn the election.
Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell called the Republiqans out for defending racism and not standing up for women and law enforcement this week. Instead, they stood up for kooks. Because they’re total dick Republiqans.
Speaking of kooks, Marjorie Taylor Greene says that the Democrats are trying to expel her because she is the Democrats’ greatest threat and Lauren Boebert says the fencing around the Capitol is all the Democrats’ fault. Since citizens can’t get into their Congress members’ offices, they’re being forced to walk past Pelosi’s wall making them all insurrectionists. She also says that she has on very good authority that a bunch of Dems are going to resign and the Republiqans are going to take over. A total dick told her.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has launched an investigation into the Federalist Society, special interest money infiltrating the courts, and how rich donors are benefitting from promises made by total dick Republiqans.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a member of Senate Judiciary Committee and a former attorney general himself, sent a formal letter to Merrick Garland asking him to look into the fake FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh, a total dick and a sitting Supreme Court Justice.
New arrests keep happening every day of insurrectionists. 4 leaders of the Proud Boys have been arrested. Jennifer Marie Heinl from Pennsylvania has been charged with taking part in the violence (she’s married to a cop who’s part of an FBI task force.)
Mar-a-Lago is partially closed because of a covid outbreak.
Trump’s private Boeing 757 airplane, which Trump calls Trump Force One is grounded and sitting on the tarmac in New York. One engine is missing parts and the other is shrink-wrapped. How is he going to flee the country after he is indicted? He has another plane but it only seats 9 people. That means there’s only room for Rudy, Lindsey Graham, Sean Hannity, Ivanka and a couple of hookers. Let’s call that plane Total Dick One.
There is $40 billion designated for housing assistance in Biden’s covid relief package. That means help with rent and mortgages, and housing for the homeless. Texas has received $1.3 million in federal funds to help renters stay in their homes. The program has been open for more than a month, but the state has only made 3 payments because their governor is a Republiqan and a total dick.
The covid relief plan offers Georgia $2 billion to expand Medicaid for 400,000 people but will the governor, Brian Kemp, accept it? He is, after all, a Republiqan and a total dick.

This pasta is delicious served hot or cold, you can mix and match your veg too. I chose broccoli because I think it really works with the sauces cheesy flavour and it’s madly nutritious. Cashews are a great base for creamy sauces. This dish is packed with vitamins, minerals, fibre, folic acid and healthy fats. If you would prefer unrefined carbs – switch to whole wheat pasta. Likewise with gluten free.
I added wild garlic to the dish, however, this will obviously be seasonal and depend whether you want to go on a foraging adventure! If you don’t add the wild garlic blend an extra garlic clove into the sauce.
Ideally the cashews need to be soaked for at least 2 hours prior to making the sauce to reduce the phytic acid to aid better digestion.
Yield: 2 Bowls
250g spirali or whole wheat pasta
1/2 broccoli head
200g plant based milk
2tbsp nutritional yeast
1+1/2tbsp dijon mustard
1tsp onion powder
2 garlic cloves (1 extra if you aren’t using wild garlic)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Optional Toppings –
2 tsp mustard seeds
Finely chopped wild garlic
1. Boil salted water and follow the instructions on the pack to cook the spirali
2. Steam the broccoli florets
3. Process all of the sauce cashew sauce ingredients until a thick creamy sauce with no cashew lumps
4. Drain the pasta once it’s cooked, add the steamed broccoli florets and the sauce, mix well
5. Garnish the dish with mustard seeds and finely chopped wild garlic

Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment Denis Naughten T.D., has secured Cabinet approval that will start the process for the ratification of the Paris Agreement for Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Government has today (18 October) agreed to seek the approval of Dáil Éireann under Article 29 of our Constitution which states that prior approval of Dáil Éireann is required in order to ratify an international treaty.
Minister Naughten said “Climate change is the defining challenge of our time and it is during our time that the obligation exists for us as a nation to take action. This obligation is as much an opportunity as it is an obligation. Securing Cabinet approval today, which will allow me to proceed to seek Dáil Éireann approval, is a significant step and a strong signal to the people of Ireland and to the international community of our continued support for the Paris Agreement. The wave of global momentum behind the ratification of the Paris Agreement has been unprecedented. It is our children’s future and of vital national interest. I am seeking full support from all members of Dáil Éireann to facilitate its passage and ratify it before the next session of the ‘Conference of the Parties, COP22’ which will be held in Marrakesh from 7 to 18 November 2016.”


Previously I had predicted that the final four of this year’s World Cup would be Argentina, Brazil, Germany and Holland, and I am happy to report that they have not yet let me down … too much.
Brazil have hardly looked their best following their draw with Mexico in the group stages and then having to hang on for dear life to beat Chile in a penalty shoot-out in their last game.
Similarly, Germany expended a lot more effort than anticipated to beat Algeria 2-1 last time out, and France is expected to give them a much harder time of things when the teams clash on Friday. By contrast, France looked at relative ease in their 2-0 win over Nigeria, even if they left it late, so my top four may not be as secure as originally thought.
Argentina limped to victory over Switzerland as it took an injury-time winner from Angel Di Maria to separate the teams. And again, Saturday’s opponents, Belgium looked considerably more comfortable when they defeated the battling USA last time out.
Even the Dutch had to rely on, what is in my opinion, a blatant dive from Arjen Robben to beat Mexico. And the fact that Wesley Sneijder’s thunderbolt to level matters came as late as the 88th minute, hardly inspires confidence.
The Netherlands face Costa Rica on Saturday, who themselves had to dig deep to deny Greece in their last match as they, too, were made to rely on a penalty shoot-out to progress.
Brazil vs Colombia
Colombia made short work of Uruguay when the sides clashed last Saturday as a James Rodriguez double was enough to see off a side without their talismanic Luis Suarez. While many attribute Uruguay’s exit from the World Cup to Suarez’s absence in this game, they should bear in mind that Uruguay have a few marquee players of their own such as Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan, and captain Diego Godin was hardly a shrinking violet in the competition either.
What Colombia may lack in the way of a star-studded line-up, they more than make up for in passion. In fact, the only notable names in the squad are Fredy Guarin of Inter Milan and James Rodriguez who plays for Monaco.
Passion only tends to go so far though, and in the face of what is a truly sparkling team like Brazil, I fear this is the end of the road for the Colombians. Brazil boast a number of household names, such as Dani Alves (Barcelona), Thiago Silva (PSG), David Luiz (PSG & Chelsea), Ramires (Chelsea), Willian (Chelsea), Hulk (Zenit), and Neymar (Barcelona).
I agree that while a team sheet hardly makes a team, consider that Luiz Felipe Scolari has already won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002. And given that Brazil will rightly see Colombia as the considerable threat they are, means the hosts should raise their game to the level required.
The writing’s on the wall for this one and I say it’ll finish 3-1 in favour of the hosts.


Large Antique Japanese Dagger (Tantō) by Uenori
This is an large antique dagger (tantō) in a plain wooden scabbard (shira-saya). It is an armor-piercer dagger (yoroidoshi) and has finely cut groove (hi) to lighten the very thick blade. This sword blade dates from the late Edo Period mid-19th Century by Uenori of Mimasaka Province. The blade shows a nice wave-like style (notareba) temper pattern (hamon). The forging pattern (jihada) shows a random flow of the grain (itame).
The blade has been authenticated and deemed to be of good quality and worthy of historical preservation by the Japanese Society for the Preservation of the Japanese Art Sword (Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai). An English translation of the Japanese appiral paper is included. The dagger itself is signed and authenticated to be the work of Uenori by the NBTHK. The blade dates from the late Edo Period circa the early to mid-19th Century. The blade is 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) thick just above the blade collar (habaki). The cutting-edge length of the blade (nagasa) measures 11.1 inches (28.19 cm) long. The full length of the dagger in is 11.3 inches (28.6 cm). Overall, the condition of the blade is exceptionally fine, the art polish has only a few very minor scratches and stains.

Items wanting to be returned after this three-day inspection period can be purchased back at a discounted price at the discretion of the management of Rain Dragon Art and Antiques, LLC.

Taylor trumpets is a small trumpet manufacturer based in Norwich, UK with a reputation for their dark sounding horns and visually stunning designs. In the past, the company has come up with relatively normal instruments through to completely off the wall ones including some which could only be described as pieces of art. Andy Taylor’s past experience in the manufacture of French Horns has made his trumpets particularly popular with players who favour a darker and broader tone.
Freddie Flintstone custom shop “Rock’n Roll Artform” trumpet, built in 1997
Continuing their tradition of unusual designs, 2015 will bring the release of a range of Kirinite and Polyester mouthpieces. According to Taylor’s website, these plastics are incredibly durable and comfortable to play on, as well offering the same tonal possibilities of the more traditional brass. Unlike brass however, they can be crafted in numerous eye catching designs and they truly are attention grabbing.
The mouthpieces will be available in 4 series:
K- Made from Kirinite, the most durable, but does not allow for uniform designs, meaning all pieces from this range will have a slightly different appearance.
E, F, C- Made from cast polyester, which is still durable but not as glass-like as Kirinite and allows for more uniform patterns and colours.
Finally, Taylor are offering a service to modify any piece you send to them by replacing the rim with Kirinite or Polyester design, resulting in some very cool looking mouthpieces that are really like nothing else on the market.

A new survey finds more than eight in 10 adults admit to sending or receiving a sexually explicit text message — commonly known as “sexting” — and many say the practice leads to increased sexual satisfaction, particularly when couples are involved.
“Most people have focused on the dangers of sexting and how it can harm a relationship,” said study lead author Emily Stasko, a doctoral candidate in the department of psychology at Drexel University in Philadelphia. “But context matters. Sexting is definitely something that many adults are doing, it’s not going away, and the findings indicate that it can actually be good for relationships and sexual satisfaction.”
The poll found that about three-quarters of those who sext do so with a committed partner. And roughly the same percentage sext while in the comfort of their home.
More than four in 10 of those polled said they had sexted while in a “casual relationship,” and nearly one-third copped to sending sexts either while on the job or elsewhere outside the home. Just 12 percent said they used this form of communication to cheat on someone.
Stasko was scheduled to present her team’s findings Saturday in Toronto at a meeting of the American Psychological Association. Findings presented at meetings are generally viewed as preliminary until they’ve been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
To get a snapshot of current sexting habits, the study team conducted a 20-minute online survey among 870 Americans. The participants were between the ages of 18 and 82, with a median age of 35, the researchers said.
All of the respondents were heterosexual. Nearly six in 10 were women, and more than 80 percent were white. While more than four in 10 said they were currently married, an equal number said they had never been married.
Investigators found that nearly 88 percent said they had sent or received a sext at least once in their lives. And 82 percent said they had sexted in the last 12 months, the survey revealed.
Men were more likely to think of it as a “fun” and “carefree” experience, and more likely to view the behavior as an expected part of their relationship. Women, on the other hand, appeared to be slightly more likely to want to send texts than to receive them, the researchers said.
But greater sexting frequency was linked to greater sexual satisfaction among both men and women, particularly when sexters were in a relationship, the survey found. In fact, with the exception of those who said they were in a “very committed” relationship, couples who sexted more often were more likely to say they were satisfied with their relationship. For those in very committed relationships, sexting made no difference in sexual satisfaction, the study found.
By contrast, sexting had little effect on sexual satisfaction for people who weren’t in relationships. Twenty-six percent of the group described themselves as single, the survey found.
“Sexting is a behavior that people do for many different reasons,” said Stasko. “The motives can differ, and differ at different times for the same person,” she added.
“So I would say that not all sexting is equal,” Stasko pointed out. “It’s not all positive. For example, while 60 percent said they never sexted when they didn’t want to, that still means that 40 percent did. But at the same time, it’s not all negative. It’s a type of sexual communication, but it’s also more generally just another type of communication, period. And it’s one that might actually make it easier to talk about sex for those who might have a more difficult time of it face to face.”
Jeffrey Hall, an assistant professor in the department of communication studies at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, said the current findings are “part of a larger discussion that is recognizing that sexting is a likely outgrowth of sexual talk in the context of new and ongoing relationships.”
Hall said, “Assuming that no one is scandalized that relationship partners talk about sex, we should also not be scandalized that people in relationships are talking about sex on their mobile phones.”
And, he added, “as mobile devices continue the steady march toward achieving the status of fully domestic technologies — like the television and the home computer — it should come as no surprise that we treat them as a means to carry on relationship business as usual, including talking about sex.”

One thing on which there seems to have been agreement during the monthlong debate about how the United States should respond to the uprisings in the Middle East -- in particular to the anti-Moammar Gadhafi rebels in Libya -- is that we must not act unilaterally.
It is a terrible thing, Barack Obama and his leaders have implied, for the United States to do anything by itself. We must have allies and the approval and imprimatur of some multinational institution -- it doesn't seem to matter much which one -- before we take anything in the nature of military action.
This is not an argument, but an impulse that can be defended as prudent. There is often some advantage in international affairs in acting with others.
But there's sometimes a downside, as well. Multilateral forces can be, in strict military terms, more trouble than they're worth. For example, some of our NATO allies in Afghanistan had such strict rules of engagement that they were hardly capable of self-defense.
More importantly, there is a cost to giving a veto to other countries. Critics of George W. Bush's decision to take military action in Iraq never really explained why it was so important that we get the permission of France and Germany. Nor is it clear what moral force would have been added to the cause by the approval of Russia and China.
And of course, our action in Iraq was not in any literal sense unilateral, contrary to what so many critics said then and journalists today casually assume. More than 30 countries participated in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Thirty is not one.
The usual response to that inconvenient fact is that the other countries don't really count because the United States took the initiative and provided the majority of military assets.
Well, yes. What else would you expect when the United States, with 5 percent of the world's population, produces more than one-quarter of world economic output and, by most measures, has more than one-half of projectable military power? In such a world, the initiative usually will be left to the United States.
Some Iraq War critics who consider themselves sophisticated took to disparaging the contribution of our allies. This was patronizing and unfair to middle-sized nations, such as Poland, that suffered significant casualties and to small countries, such as Estonia (with a population slightly greater than Rhode Island's), whose contribution proportionate to population was substantial.
It's a foolish kind of anthropomorphism, applying the rules of a children's playground to international affairs, to say that America is acting like a bully when it takes the initiative. Or to say that we must act as if we are just one nation of 192, with a vote and moral standing no greater than anyone else's.
That's the rule, to be sure, in the United Nations General Assembly -- which is why Franklin Roosevelt was careful when he designed the U.N. to make sure that it had no real power. It's not an intelligent way to think about foreign affairs and military power in the real world.
Now, there is some reason for an American political leader to pay lip service to the notion of unilateralism. Americans tend to be queasy about military intervention -- now even more so, given our 10 years in Afghanistan and eight in Iraq -- and on balance, that is probably a good thing.
The problem comes when an American president takes the bias against unilateralism too far. Bill Clinton initially deferred to our European allies in responding to violence in the former Yugoslavia. But he felt obliged to take the initiative when they proved feckless.
He declined to seek approval in the U.N. Security Council, where it would have been vetoed by Russia, and sought the imprimatur of NATO instead. On Libya this year, Turkey indicated it would block the unanimity necessary for NATO action, so Obama went to the Security Council, where he got a resolution authorizing military action Thursday.
In effect, this was what Donald Rumsfeld called a coalition of the willing, and we got a multinational imprimatur because we persuaded the unwilling to abstain rather than to vote no. But it's possible that action will turn out to be too little too late, with Gadhafi poised to crush the rebels -- or too much too soon, committing us to a dragged-out land war.
Avoiding unilateralism may be helpful, but it can cost more than it's worth.

The current Indian cricket team is filled with match-winners from top to bottom. In fact, so strong is their bench strength that the current Indian team is capable of defeating top teams with a second-string Playing XI as well. Even the squad of 15 that India have picked for the T20 World Cup is without two of their experienced players in Shikhar Dhawan and Yuzvendra Chahal. That's how strong and fearless India's young cricketers are.
Despite the squad of 15, the BCCI had also announced three reserve players. However, days ahead of the start of the T20 World Cup, Shardul Thakur, one of the reserves was added into the final 15 with Axar Patel being demoted to a reserve player. And one can sense the reason why. Thakur was the leading wicket-taker for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2021 with 21 scalps and has been phenomenal with both bat and ball for India over the last year.
Impressed with what Thakur brings to the table, former England captain Michael Vaughan dished out a colossal praise for the India all-rounder, claiming that the 30-year-old reminds him of the legendary Ian Botham. Crediting Thakur for making things happen, Vaughan feels it could have been MS Dhoni's idea to get Thakur added to the final 15.
"Last week I was with Lord Botham and he is a true lord. Thakur is very similar to Ian Botham. He gets the ball in his hands and makes things happen. He did it in the Test series, he did it in the IPL. The mentor of the Indian T20 team is behind the stumps. He was captaining him. He was probably on the phone with Virat and Ravi talking about him, saying 'come on'. He (Shardul) has that ability to make things happen," Vaughan said on Cricbuzz.
Vaughan dwelled into the technicalities, explaining how one of Thakur's strengths is to be able to deceive and fox the batsmen with his variations, a trait that spinner R Ashwin marvels at. And this is what the former skipper reckons makes Thakur not an easy bowler to get away with.
"He must have a very good deception of pace because you watch him and it's like 'yeah, it's pretty normal. But he has that deception like Ashwin. He bowls and it goes through quickly, bowls cross-seam and goes through quickly. He has that ability to surprise the batter and those subtle variations that we can't pick up," added Vaughan.

I was introduced to this recipe by my friend Kitty, who is the ultimate baker extraordinaire. She brought these to some sort of girl’s only gathering and they were gone quick as a flash. They are incredible and the best part SO simple to make. No mess-a box of brownies, the ingredients for the box of brownies and three large Symphony bars. Divine, easy and ultra chocolatey, they are to die for!
- 1 box chocolate brownies 13×9 size
- 3 XL Symphony Bars with Toffee Bits
- Make brownie mix according to directions on the back of the box.
- Pour/spread HALF the brownie mix into a pan that has been greased or sprayed with non stick spray.
- Layer three bars of chocolate side by side.
- Add the rest of the brownie mix to cover the bars.
- Bake according to directions on back of box but add 8-10 minutes.
- Let cool and cut into small squares.
-a box of brownies 13×9 size.
-3 giant sized Hershey Symphony bars with toffee chips
Mix the brownies according to the directions on the package.
Divide the brownie mix in half and spread 1/2 on the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan.
Bake the brownies according to the directions but bake an extra 8-10 minutes longer.
Cut in little pieces (they are very rich) and enjoy.
Last time I brought these somewhere, I didn’t even get one for myself they went so fast.
Which means I just have to make them again, right?

E-Commerce and different Net Growth as of late may be fast and simple, for the folks with the appropriate ability. An open supply procuring cart may be downloaded and put in in about 30minutes, the identical works for many content material administration techniques additionally. A site title and internet hosting may be setup in about the identical time.
Then if you happen to change the theme a bit, exchange the logos, and possibly the colour of some textual content, borders, backgrounds and so on. you may actually make the procuring cart your individual.
All in only a few hours, now I’ve my very own little net design firm. And we do issues in about 2x this time. With all of the checks and different inside enterprise processes we undergo.
I may additionally add, we have now college graduates, certified and with a minim of 5 years business expertise with portfolios to match.
A high quality design mustn’t take a very long time, although some could take extra time to supply one thing actually wonderful. To probably the most half you may obtain prime quality of labor with out the time excuses. In case you are paying for somebody to spend all day to create a brand, it sounds to me like they’re actually inefficient or pulling your leg.
One thing I have a tendency to consider when coping with individuals who take too lengthy is, are you paying them to study? you see I had some points with a automobile a while again, the engine seized up and I wanted to exchange it, I had presents as a lot as $4000 to exchange the engine, and as little as $1000 to do the identical factor. And you understand what; among the higher extra skilled presents have been additionally to probably the most half cheaper (It was BMW 730iL for many who surprise).
Now I can not say this is identical in each business and may solely speculate as to what was actually happening. However that is usually a thought after I’m paying for somebody’s time. Are you paying them to study? Now it’s possible you’ll get presents which might be merely out of your worth vary, and hourly charges that make your jaw drop. On this case simply assume, are you able to pay somebody half as a lot per hour to take just a bit longer? When you can, that is a transparent strategy to carry prices again.
As soon as you might be assured with the period of time they’re spending, it is best to actually try their portfolio. As soon as you might be proud of the time/worth and high quality of their works. That needs to be nearly all you have to fear about. Although one factor which may be value noting is designers are like artists, once you get to know a designer and there work. You’ll be able to choose their creations from others simply the identical as you’ll an artist. In saying this it’s also good to maintain this in thoughts when giving a designer your inventive concepts, most good designers will give you higher designs when left to their very own gadgets.
In abstract, discover a designer that doesn’t take a very long time to supply one thing. Examine the standard of their earlier works. And rent away, for easy graphic work direct from a designer ought to price not more than $100 USD for a design doesn’t matter the place you might be from. You would possibly pay extra to have designs was a webpage, although this half is can normally be achieved by a fundamental web-developer with out a lot design expertise. Most graphic designers can have this achieved additionally.[ad_2]

The phrase “When one door closes, another one opens” takes on a whole new meaning in the Michael Frayn comedy “Noises Off,” gracing the stage at the Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood.
This clever play-within-a-play with three acts (and two intermissions) is a timeless British farce with all of the door-slamming, pratfalling and overacting you would expect from a troupe of has-been (or never-were) actors fumbling their way through the mounting of an upcoming production of the second-rate play “Nothing On.”
The curtain rises on an extremely unpolished dress rehearsal, with the director at the back of the house, desperately trying to superglue this production together to begin their tour of Britain the next day.
Act One is the exposition, introducing us to the “Nothing On” actors, and as we watch the aforementioned dress rehearsal of this (purposefully) lame play, it becomes evident their struggles onstage are nothing compared to their communication issues and relationship woes offstage.
The first act is certainly funny, but it serves mostly as a means of establishing the characters’ quirks, the play-within-a-play structure, the fact that we will be spending more time than we would have ever expected hearing about a plate of sardines and sets us up for the pay-off that lies ahead.
It is during Act Two that the audience becomes privy to the complexity and smarts of “Noises Off,” when the entire two-story set is turned completely around to literally bring us backstage. This motley crew of actors tries to keep contact lenses in their eyes and hands off a bottle of booze, while they try not only to hold their show together but also their love lives.
And as actors with their shoes tied together hop up and down flights of stairs with their pants around their ankles, the silly, slapstick comedy keeps us slap-happy.
Then … the house lights come up, and the audience members who did not download their playbills look around tentatively, not knowing if it is time to go, or if there might be … could there possibly be … another intermission??!
The three-act play structure goes all the way back to the days of Aristotle, and while most plays these days have two acts, real sticklers would argue those plays are actually three-act plays with the first two acts “smushed together’ as Act One.
Luckily, on this particular night, most of the audience members were in the know, meaning they stayed to witness the chaos that ensues during Act Three — set 10 months later. At this point, the set is turned around so we can watch from the front, but the plot of “Nothing On” is barely recognizable, as the actors seem to have no idea where they are in the script and barely seem to care. And as they stumble aimlessly around the set in a chaotic haze, nosebleeds flow, sardines fly and the guffaws are plentiful.
“Noises Off” relies on precise timing, an abundance of physical comedy and, of course, a highly versatile and talented cast. Fortunately, director Scott Spence has assembled the perfect team to pull “Noises Off,” well, off. They comprise a true ensemble, playing off each other perfectly with an abundance of chemistry.
Nanna Ingvarsson sets the tone from the start as the very dotty Dotty, who can barely remember where she is, let alone remember her lines.
Eric Fancher shows his comedic chops as Dotty’s secret boyfriend, who never finishes his … you know. (In this case, the word is “sentences.”)
Scott Esposito does not miss a beat as Freddy, whose nose bleeds any time he’s exposed to violence of any kind. Bella Serrano, a Baldwin Wallace junior, is delightful as the beautiful but spacey Brooke Ashton.
Sasha Wilson does a wonderful job as Belinda, who seems to be the quintessential “fixer,” attempting to remain calm amidst the utter chaos.
Bob Keefe’s extensive improv experience shines through in his portrayal of the booze-loving Selsdon.
Kelly Strand and Daniel Telford are hilarious as a duo of stage managers who frantically try to wrangle their unpredictable cast.
And Stephen Mitchell Brown aptly flip flops from egotistical, to patronizing, to desperate, as director Lloyd Dallas.Even during the preview performance, the timing was impeccable. As doors were thrown open, they slammed shut simultaneously, lines clipped along, and the physical comedy was a riot.
There are some slow moments, but those seem to center around the script itself, as the play within the play becomes repetitive and a little tired at times. However, those moments are few and far between, overshadowed by an impressive cast, tongue-in-cheek innuendo and even some jokes likely to leave any thespians in the audience belly laughing with recognition.
The Beck Center production of “Noises Off” gives us all the opportunity to indulge in two and a half hours of absurd fun, which is something we all deserve … even if we may not be able to get the word “sardines” out of our heads for several days.
Continues through April 16 at The Beck Center for the Arts, 17801 Detroit Ave. Lakewood. For tickets, $12 to $34, call 216-521-2540, ext. 10 or visit beckcenter.org.

Azerbaijani ombudsman sends letter Council of Europe commissioner
Azerbaijan’s Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) Sabina Aliyeva sent a letter to the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja Mijatović.
The letter reads as follows:
“As you know the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has been ended by the trilateral agreement signed by the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russia on the 10th of November 2020. Due to this conflict, which lasted for almost 30 years, 20 percent of the territory of Azerbaijan has been under the occupation of Armenia and more than one million Azerbaijanis have been forcibly displaced facing great humanitarian tragedies.
Since its establishment, the Ombudsman Institution of Azerbaijan has, many times, informed your Office about the gross violations of human rights of those people who could not return to their native lands and had to live as IDPs in different regions of Azerbaijan.
The UN Security Council Resolutions 822, 853, 874, and 884 adopted in 1993 clearly indicated and condemned the occupation of the Azerbaijani lands and expressed grave concern at the displacement of large numbers of civilians in Azerbaijan. These documents called for immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all occupying forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and requested the relevant international agencies to assist displaced persons to return to their homes in security and dignity. Nevertheless, we did not witness any attempt by your side to call on Armenian authorities to implement the mentioned resolutions and help the IDPs to return to their homes.
Even the European Court of Human Rights in its judgment on “Chiragov and others v. Armenia” recalled Armenia’s obligations towards the Azerbaijanis who had to flee during the conflict. The Court stresses that Armenian and Armenian-backed troops in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan prevent the return of Azerbaijani IDPs to their lands.
We have many times brought to your attention the situation of the hostages, Dilgam Askerov and Shahbaz Guliyev who had been in captivity of Armenia for six years. They were illegally taken hostage by the armed forces of Armenia while visiting their homelands and subjected to torture and ill-treatment. We issued statements and a report in this regard and sent to all relevant international human rights organizations, including your Office. But unfortunately, we did not receive any response from your side on this case.
In the period of counter-offensive operations for the liberation of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan in compliance with the above-mentioned international documents, I conducted several fact-finding missions in the residential areas, which were subjected to missile attacks by Armenia and issued seven thematic reports based on the outcomes. Those reports reflected blatant indiscriminate attacks by using banned munitions, which caused hundreds of civilian casualties in Azerbaijan. The shelling of the densely populated areas in Ganja and Barda, as well as other cities and districts of Azerbaijan far from the zone of active hostilities, has resulted in the death of innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly. Those attacks obviously constitute war crimes. The noted above reports were also sent to all relevant international human rights organizations, along with your Office. But unfortunately, we again witnessed no reaction from your side to these violations of human rights and humanitarian law.
We consider that the long-standing silence before the violations of human rights, unwillingness to implement the international law, disrespect for the territorial integrity of another state embolden the perpetrators and lead to further violations of human rights. So, the continuation of the occupation for almost thirty years and blatant disrespect for the internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan is the obvious result of this attitude.
I am of the opinion that you, as the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, have to express your regret not about a military trophy park created for future generations as a lesson commemorating dangers of the policy of aggression and intolerance, but about destructions, plundering and acts of vandalism committed against hundreds of historical monuments, dozens of museums, mosques and cultural heritage in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan and condemn it.
There are still hundreds of thousands of unmarked landmines remained in the territories of Azerbaijan which were planted by Armenia during the period of their occupation. Dozens of civilians were killed or severely injured due to these mines so far. We many times raised this issue before the relevant international organizations and still expect their response to call on Armenia to provide the maps of these landmines to prevent further casualties.
In view of all the above, I once again would like to ask you as an impartial institution to call on Armenia to provide Azerbaijan with minefield maps and stop the violations of human rights.
I look forward to close cooperation with your Office for the protection and promotion of human rights in the light of fairness and impartiality.”
