Letter to the Editor Lack of Voice in Ethnic Clean

Letter to the Editor
Lack of Voice in Ethnic Cleansing

Dear Editor in Chief

My name is Endalu, a Master of Public Health Student at the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health. I would like to let you know that this past week has been a difficult week for me because back in Ethiopia where I was born and raised and now my family members live, villages were ransacked by a rebel group called Oromo Liberation Army (OLA). Believed to be a paramilitary force, they killed more than 35 innocent people, burned down more than 65 houses and many livestock just 7 days ago. In this vicious attack conducted in the middle of the night, my ethnic group, the Sodo-Gurage (original name: Kestane), are a target. The OLA has been killing the Kestanes here and there in small numbers (2-5 civilians) for the last 2-3 years, but not in such a scale as happened last week. The OLA believes in eliminating the Kestanes and claiming their land.

The Science Behind Cold Plunges Boosting metabolis

The Science Behind Cold Plunges
Boosting metabolism, mood and resilience through cold exposure
By: Anish Arumugam & Vaishnavi Srinathd

Imagine plunging into ice-cold water, feeling an intense chill that spikes your heart rate and leaves your skin tingling.

This is the essence of a “cold plunge,” a practice that’s recently gained popularity in wellness circles for its numerous claimed benefits. But what makes these icy immersions so beneficial and are they genuinely worth the chill?
…
Cold plunging is a practice rooted in science that can offer a range of benefits—from boosting metabolism and supporting heart health to enhancing mental resilience and immune function. For us students, it can be a valuable tool to manage stress, improve focus and support physical health in a demanding academic environment. With gradual practice and a mindful approach to safety, the potential benefits of cold plunges may prove well worth the chill.

“During and after a cold plunge, blood flow is redirected from your peripheral tissues (skin, muscle) to your core. It could be that these short, repeated increases in heart rate may lead to beneficial heart adaptations, but more research is needed.”—Emma L. Reed, Graduate Researcher in Human Physiology at the University of Oregon—

In Search of Reform A brief history and (critical)

In Search of Reform
A brief history and (critical) argument in favor of third parties
By: J.J. Christensen

The independent voter and the third party spirit is necessary in the United States for this exact reason. The two parties cannot be allowed to continue to attempt to scare voters into falling in line come November—while they enact harmful and unpopular policies with impunity. It is also not the job of the voters to keep a party in power—it is the job of parties to court voters. If the Democratic Party does want these votes, they will go out and chase them instead of sidelining them.

The more that the Democratic Party—the modern party most hostile to third party movements—moves further to the right, the more that liberal voters are left homeless and might end up finding their way to the likes of the Green Party or candidates like Cornel West—parties and candidates who will speak up for them without hesitation. You cannot, then, blame those people for voting for third party candidates. And the more people that find their way to these candidates, the closer they get to that ever-tantalizing 5%.

Whether or not third party candidates like Jill Stein, Cornel West, Claudia de la Cruz or even Chase Oliver of the Libertarian Party cost either side enough votes to swing key states is yet to be seen. It is yet to be determined if any third party since Ross Perot has actually spoiled an election instead of simply bringing non-voters to the ballot box. If they do, however, do not place the blame on them. Place the blame on the corporate-funded, “too-big-to-fail,” entrenched two parties who continue to act as if they are owed their positions in government by divine right.
