The Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) youth programs for youth ranging in ages from 5 to 20+ have been in existence for over thirty years operating through a non-profit charitable organization in Mansonville.As a non-profit the organization continuously looks for fundraising opportunities and the youth centre has been blessed with the help of some wonderful businesses, individuals and groups.Many of these businesses and individuals have been solicited by the youth centre staff but on some occasions, it is the business or individual who approaches the non-profit with an offer to help.This is the case with Virgin Hill Coffee located in the Town of Brome Lake.Virgin Hill Coffee is a family-owned business (Tara Moar and Matthew Greer) located in the Eastern Townships that has been in operation for over 12 years now.With a variety of coffees that often celebrate towns in the Eastern Townships with inspirational mixes such as: Ripplecove, Knowlton blends, Expresso Owl\u2019s, Melange Memphre and more\u2026 The naming of these blends and flavours are a testament to the love for the area in which Virgin Hill Coffee makes its home.There is something extremely special about this company however as, the owners and staff are focused on helping local charities in an effort to give back to nonprofits, especially those helping children.The CABMN in Mansonville (Potton) through a variety of events where Virgin Hill brought their freshly roasted goodness to events held in the area via their beautifully restored 1969 24-foot Airstream Mobile Café benefitted from over $1800 in donations from Virgin Hill in the past year.This funding immensely improves the activities and program for the Boys and Girls groups that meet weekly after school at the Youth Centre in Mansonville.The CABMN is not the only group to receive support.In fact, in 2017, over $15,000 was raised in this way for local charities all over the Eastern Townships.Events held in key locations in each area are essential to the fundraising success of the company in donating to local charities.In the Mansonville area Virgin Hill has taken part in events held at Owl\u2019s Head Ski, the Annual Potton Festival and more.Through these collaborations, local groups are receiving support and benefitting is some amazing ways.Recently Virgin Hill Coffee made an exciting announcement on their Facebook page.\"We think it\u2019s time to officially share our exciting news\u2026 we have bought a super new building for our coffee roasting.As of November 15th we will be at 770 Lakeside in Foster, across from Scotyz.We won\u2019t initially be open to the public but we have huge plans and we\u2019re hoping to make our dream of a coffee center a reality by the spring!\" On behalf of the non-profits touched by Virgin Hill\u2019s generosity, we send out a \u201cperky\u201d thank you to this company for all it has done and continues to do to celebrate and aid in support of local community groups and initiatives.For information about Virgin Hill call: 1-800-516-8422 Mable Hastings The Scoop PHOTO: MABLE HASTINGS Zachary Bourbeau-Binning and Matthew Greer (the Virgin Hill Coffee charming duo) CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 of others.I'd like to express my profound gratitude to all these heroes and the courageous families that agreed to respect their loved ones' wishes despite moments of great difficulty and pain.I sincerely hope this recognition by CODA and all the people in attendance today gives them further comfort and eases their pain.\" France Bédard of Sherbrooke was one of the 216 people who made the walk to the front of the church to accept a medal and the posthumous title of \u201cAmbassador of health\u201d on behalf of her husband, Sylvain Ducharme.Ducharme, an employee at Waterville TD, left for work as usual on the afternoon of December 18, 2017, and never came home.\u201cAs usual, I said I love you, be careful, go work,\u201d Bédard recalled, explaining that she got the call from the hospital not an hour and a half later.\u201cI asked two questions: is he alive?They said yes.I said did he make it to work, and they said probably not.\u201d Bédard shared that nearly a year later, she still doesn\u2019t exactly know what happened, as the doctors ruled out an aneurysm and a heart attack, and the car only suffered a few scrapes in its low- speed impact.Regardless of the cause, however, the result was that when she got to the CHUS, Ducharme was in a coma in the intensive care unit.Family came to visit, and Bédard said that she even hosted the annual Christmas party, despite the circumstances, because she didn\u2019t want to travel out of town.As time went on, however, her husband\u2019s situation failed to improve.\u201cEvery time they tried to wake him, his brain was more and more damaged,\u201d she said.\u201cWe spent Christmas Eve at the CHUS; we were waiting for a Christmas miracle.\u201d Bédard said that she and her husband had talked extensively about end of life care and organ donation, and that he was adamant about not being left a vegetable.As the days dragged on, she said, she thought of her husband\u2019s active lifestyle and his love for the world, and she knew her choice was clear.\u201cMy daughter said, \u201cmiracles happen,\u201d she recalled, \u201cand I said sure, but if he wakes up, he won\u2019t be happy.\u201d In the end, the Christmas miracle was destined for the two people who received Ducharme\u2019s kidneys, as well as possibly as many as 47 people who were able to receive tissue donations of one form or another.\u201cIt\u2019s what he wanted,\u201d Bédard said.\u201cHe was always doing everything he could for others.I\u2019m sure that wherever he is, he is happy.His mission on earth is accomplished.\u201d CODA was founded in 1983 and has overseen the transportation of countless organs over that time, helped by more than 2,000 police officers who volunteer their time for the cause.Over the past 25 years, more than 5,000 people have been honoured in the Sherbrooke ceremony, representing more than 15,000 transplant recipients.The names of each year\u2019s honourees are carved on stone tablets which are put on display at Jacob- Nichol Park, at the corner of Portland and Jacques-Cartier Streets in Sherbrooke.Monday, October 22, 2018 Page 3 \"We are grateful to our employees and clients across the country who rallied once again this year to help people love where they live.\" LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Clari?cation In Friday's Record, the article entitled, \"Scott Woods old time Christmas tour returns to the Townships\" provided the incorrect day and phone number for the Lennoxville concert.The concert will take place on the night of Monday, December 17, and tickets can be reserved by calling the Scott Woods Band Office at 1-855-726-8896.There was not an empty seat to be found at the 25th annual Canadian Organ & Tissue Donors Association ceremony in Sherbrooke on Friday.Organ donors honoured Sherbrooke Réno-Dépôt employees raise $7,120.92 for Rock Guertin Foundation Record Staff Employees of the Réno-Dépôt store in Sherbrooke have donated $7,120.92 collected as part of the Lowe's Heroes Canada fundraising campaign to the Rock Guertin Foundation, which works to combat hunger on the local level.\"We are grateful to our employees and clients across the country who rallied once again this year to help people love where they live,\" said Jean-Sébastien Lamoureux, Senior Vice-President, Communications, Public Affairs and Compliance at Lowe's Canada.\"Now that all of our corporate stores are with us for the very first time, our Lowe's Heroes Canada campaign can support even more organizations and community projects that our employees care about.Many thanks to all those who helped make the 2018 campaign even more successful.\" Lowe's Canada, is donating a total of $1.1 million collected during the month of September, from each Lowe's, RONA and Réno-Dépôt corporate store for nonprofit organization or public schools of their choice to help them achieve their mission or to carry out a specific project.Lowe's Canada also contributed a corporate donation of 50 per cent of all funds raised through in-store initiatives, up to a maximum of $2,000 per store.All funds raised through the campaign will be donated to more than 260 community organizations.For more information on Lowe's Heroes and the list of supported organizations, visit lowes.ca/heroes.An honour guard made up of police officers from forces across the province escorted the family members of organ donors forward to receive medals on behalf of their departed loved ones Sherbrooke Mayor Steve Lussier signing the ACDO's memorial book under the gaze of J.Michel Doyon, Lieutenant-Gouvernor of Québec Page 4 Monday , October 22 , 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Support the local businesses, services & professionals who serve our area where you live, work and play!

Legault's 20-minute speech focused largely on his commitments to health, education and the economy, while avoiding his controversial proposal to reduce immigration.However, he made it clear he would be sticking to his promises, including a plan to ban the wearing of religious symbols for state employees in positions of authority, which has already been the subject of protests in the Montreal area.\u201cWe will never create unanimity,'' he said.\u201cBesides, it is out of the question to back down before pressure groups or the first small tremors.'' Legault also reiterated promises to reform Quebec's electoral system, introduce universal kindergarten for four-year-olds and reduce the province's dependence on federal transfer payments by boosting exports and foreign investment.Legault received a long standing ovation from guests after he was sworn in by Lt.-Gov.J.Michel Doyon.The 61-year-old Air Transat co-founder fulfilled a promise to form a gender-bal- anced cabinet with 13 women and 13 men.He named women to important portfolios such as health and justice.While his team includes a mix of newcomers and political veterans, he pointed out that he and former Liberal cabinet minister Marguerite Blais are the only members who have previously held cabinet positions.\u201cI don't see this as a disadvantage, on the contrary,'' he said.\u201cThe government of Quebec needs renewal.The government of Quebec needs a new face that will offer a new look, and you bring together an immense load of experience that you've acquired elsewhere in society.'' Former coroner's office spokeswoman Genevieve Guilbault was named deputy premier and public security minister, while lawyer Simon Jolin-Barrette was given the task of implementing Legault's controversial promise to reduce immigration and institute French and values tests for new arrivals.Other high-profile assignments included Eric Girard in finance, Jean-Fran- cois Roberge in education, and former Charbonneau commission lawyer Sonia LeBel in justice.Legault's party swept to victory in the Oct.1 provincial election, winning 74 of the legislature's 125 seats.His government enters its first term with the traditionally dominant Liberals and PQ in disarray.Both the Liberal and PQ leaders resigned after their parties were handed crushing defeats by voters looking for change.Philippe Couillard's Liberals lost more than half their seats to finish with 31, while Parti Quebecois leader Jean-Fran- cois Lisee stepped down after losing in his own riding and seeing his once- mighty party fall to 10 seats, below the threshold for official status.The Liberals have since been reduced to 29 seats after Couillard resigned and another member, Guy Ouellette, was ousted from caucus to sit as an Independent.Quebec solidaire holds 10 seats.On Thursday, Legault sought to reach beyond his base, which is largely concentrated in the Quebec City region and the French-speaking regions.His speech included direct appeals to Quebec's English-speaking and Indigenous communities as well as a promise to fight climate change, an issue that did not figure prominently in the Coalition campaign.After focusing on renewal, Legault ended his speech with a nod to Quebec's past.The one-time Parti Quebecois minister chose to invoke Rene Levesque, the late sovereigntist premier who himself changed Quebec's political landscape when he founded the PQ 50 years ago.\u201cI end by telling you, I love Quebecers, and to answer a man who has inspired me all my life, I have the profound conviction that yes, we form something like a great people,'' Legault said, echoing Levesque's election-night victory speech in 1976.

launching a raid on a residence on Paul-Le-Prohon St.in Sherbrooke following a tip from the public.A 57-year-old man was arrested on charges of growing fewer than seven plants and possession of unauthorized cannabis.The Sherbrooke and Memphremagog policen forces\u2019 campaign against illegal cannabis involves a strategic partnership whose goal is to maximize the suppression of criminal organizations, reduce the accessibility of cannabis to the young, the detection of various offenses, and monetary recovery.Police have stated that they will maintain constant pressure on sellers and growers.Cannabis is now regulated by three legal bodies (municipal, provincial and federal) and police claim it will pose a significant challenge and expects that a black market will persist.\u201cThis black market is likely to lower the revenues of the state and neutralize the orientations of the bill,\u201d a Sherbrooke Police communiqué says, adding that the goal is effective management of the underground economy, the maximizing the expected benefits of legalization in the areas of health: limiting access for minors due to mental health concerns, and improving public safety.Police are asking the public to report information on illegal sales and production by contacting Acces_cannabis@ville.sherbrooke.qc.ca, by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-711- 1800 or through

priority last Tuesday by holding the first edition of the \"Youth VIP Scholarship Soirée\", an event gathering nearly 400 young people from the region aged 12 to 35.This is a first for the financial services co-op, which greeted the young people on the \"green carpet\" at the sold-out Vieux Clocher de Magog to enjoy a festive evening with comedian Phil Roy.The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Caisse and Fondation Desjardins scholarships, and the draw for a $1,000 scholarship.In total, more than $15,000 was handed out to young people in the MRC, from high school to university, to support their studies and their academic success.\"Today, we want to support our young people in managing their finances and everything they do in life more than anything,\u201d said Patrick Gravel, Executive Director of Caisse Desjardins.\u201cThey are our successors and we must give them the means to reach their ambitions.\" Gravel had announced, upon his start as head of the Caisse last January, that youth would be among his top priorities.Youth projects were already numerous at the Caisse, but they will be further developed and new initiatives such as Tuesday's will also be put in place to give them a place of choice within the financial institution.Among the main youth projects initiated or supported by the Caisse are: the Desjardins Student Retention Fund, the Scholarship Program, and the School Caisse offered in a dozen schools in the Memphremagog MRC, the La Ruche School student caisse, the Desjardins Youth at Work program, the Community Development Fund, and donations and sponsorships to organizations working for youth, as well as the My Finances, My Choices Program.The Caisse also launched the #Fonda- tionDesjardins Awards on October 15.These awards are intended for school and community stakeholders who wish to obtain financial assistance to carry out a project with kindergarten, elementary, or high school students.The winners are determined by a vote of Desjardins Group officers and employees.(COURTESY CAISSE DESJARDINS DU LAC MEMPHRÉMAGOG) The 2018 Desjardins Fellows, accompanied by comedian Phil Roy and representatives of the Caisse

Heritage Network Record Staff The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of International Development and Member of Parliament (Compton\u2013Stanstead), announced more than $248,500 in funding for the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) on Saturday morning.She made the announcement at QAHN's Eastern Townships Heritage Fair on behalf of the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Tourism, Official Languages and La Francophonie.This funding, provided through the Official Languages Funding Programs, will help showcase the unique aspects of Quebec's English-speaking communities and give QAHN a chance to help Anglophone heritage organizations acquire and use modern communication technology.\"The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network has worked nearly 20 years to preserve and showcase the heritage of Quebec's English-speaking communities and has received Government of Canada funding for this purpose since 2002,\u201d said Bibeau.\u201cThe Official Languages Funding Programs give many regional organizations the support they need to meet the unique needs of their communities.\" \"Our government is committed to ensuring that official-language minority communities grow and thrive.That is why we are taking clear and concrete action through funding programs and the Action Plan for Official Languages,\u201d said Joly, in a press release.\u201cThe funding announced today will help showcase the unique aspects of Quebec's English- speaking communities.We are confident that over the next five years, these funds, along with the dynamism of the communities, will help support and enhance the vitality of official-language minority communities.\" \"The QAHN has a long track record of managing innovative projects that provide real value to the heritage and cultural sectors of English-speaking Quebec.\u201d Added Matthew Farfan, Executive Director of the QAHN, \u201cit will be great to highlight the contributions that our various communities have made\u2014 and continue to make\u2014not only to our history, but also to the modern, ever- evolving society that we call Quebec.\" The QAHN was created in the year 2000 to promote awareness of the history and culture of Quebec's English- speaking communities.The project Diversity and Achievement in Anglophone Quebec will explore the history of English-speaking communities in Quebec and their unique social and cultural aspects.The study will share its findings with the public through travelling exhibits and guided heritage tours.The project Heritage, Culture and Communication: Balancing Traditional and Digital Media in a Changing World will hold a series of conferences in different regions to help Anglophone nonprofit organizations improve their communication, marketing, and technology infrastructure and strategies.The Eastern Townships Heritage Fair is a public event where heritage organizations and museums in the Eastern Townships can showcase their cultural activities and exhibits.The second annual fair, jointly organized with the Richmond County Historical Society, explores the theme of waterway preservation.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Sirois Group,\u201d added CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie \u2013 CHUS Executive Director Patricia Gauthier.\u201cWith the CRCHUS, we have a very rich environment for discovery and innovation in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.A team of 26 expert researchers in their field aims to increase our knowledge about this disease.We are thrilled to be able to help as many people as possible.\" The partnership was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Université de Sherbrooke and its Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, a partner in CRCHUS.\"Thanks to this partnership, the population of Estrie will now have access to more clinical breast cancer research projects,\" said Dr.William Fraser, Scientific Director of CRCHUS.\"The inclusion of Dr.Michel Pavic, hemato-oncologist at the CIUSSS of Estrie-CHUS, on the Group's scientific committee is a key element for the Estrie region, ensuring that the most relevant projects are accessible.Breast cancer clinical research The easy thing to say would be \u201cles absents ont toujours tort\u201d when explaining why there is no anglophone minister in the new Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) government.After all, the cluster of densely anglo ridings on the island of Montreal did not have the good sense to elect at least one of their own to the government side.Indeed, the CAQ managed to elect only two MNAs on the entire island, one of whom, Chantal Rouleau, a former east-end borough mayor, made it into cabinet, as junior transport minister and minister responsible for the entire grande metropôle.(She took her oath in English and French).Premier François Legault has assigned himself the role of minister responsible for relations with English-speaking Que- becers.This could mean many things, but to pick a nit, it\u2019s unlikely the impact on anglophones of a given policy discussed at the cabinet table would be foremost on the premier\u2019s mind.On the sunny side, it could be a sincere gesture on Legault\u2019s part that he truly cares about Quebec\u2019s constitutionally protected minority, much as it was a big dose of goodwill and a bit of a risk for him to agree to a televised debate in English.The premier surely has his mind on the long game as he shapes his ideologically amorphous party into a durable force.Legault knows anglos are still suspicious of him and his sovereignist past, but a harvest of Montreal seats may be there for the wooing four years hence.Laval-area MNA Christopher Skeete is the premier\u2019s parliamentary secretary for relations with the English-speaking community and responsible for the secretariat set up by the Liberals.Although confessing to not being a self-identifying anglo, he certain talks the talk.He\u2019s a smooth communicator, which will serve him well as the CAQ government moves forward on anglo hot button issues like abolishing elected school boards.Still, the absence of a genuine Eng- lish-speaker in the cabinet of a nominally federalist Quebec party will take some getting used to for Quebec\u2019s sensitive anglos.Except for Parti Québecois governments when, for obvious reasons, there were no anglos in cabinet, English- speakers have been adequately, if not proportionally, represented in the inner circle of Quebec\u2019s governments over the yea Under Philippe Couillard, there were three ministers at one time, while Jean Charest, half anglo himself, had four at peak.Robert Bourassa had four in his second government (1985-94), but three of them resigned in the fall of 1988 to protest Bill 178, the sign law.Which goes to show, having a bunch of \u201cblokes\u201d around the table is not a foolproof safeguard against the erosion of rights.It\u2019s been some time since an anglo has held a major portfolio in a Quebec cabinet.The last anglo finance minister was James Arthur Mathewson, who served from 1936-39.He was the last in a string of English-speaking finance ministers, with names like Duffy, Scott, McMaster, Hall and Robertson, dating back to 1867.Even Maurice Duplessis had an English finance minister, then known as treasurer, Martin Fisher.It was the thing to do, apparently, when the English dominated Quebec\u2019s business class.The one and only Quebec health minister of English descent was the maverick Eric Kierans who served in the portfolio under Liberal premier Jean Lesage in 1965.(He would go on to be a minister in Pierre Trudeau\u2019s federal government in 1968).If we insist on nominating an anglophone minister in recent history with the highest profile and most serious responsibilities, a leading contender would be the recently departed John Ciaccia.He\u2019s remembered most for when, as native affairs minister, he settled the explosive 1990 Oka Crisis, the deadly showdown between authorities and Mohawk militants.These are relatively serene times in terms of language relations in the province, notwithstanding \u2026 whoops, regardless of strong feelings over religious symbols, values tests and school board The prerogative now is for Quebec\u2019s English-speaking community to develop relations with a regime with which it has few natural connections, but holds the power to advance or set back causes crucial to the community going forward.EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , October 22, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Premier François Legault has assigned himself the role of minister responsible for relations with English-speaking Quebecers.Thanks for the help.This last week when my husband and I were in the Barnston West area I decided to take a walk down to the Tomifobia river with our dog.I had often done this walk and could generally be back in a half hour or so .This time was really different.Though the weather was fine, I soon became disoriented because there were so many cedars down after a recent wind storm.Not only that, my cell phone was nearly dead and it was impossible to hear what my husband was saying on his cell phone, so I texted \"I am lost.\" Please sound the horn on the car so I can find my way back by following the sound.\" The trouble was that this sound quickly dissipated in the swampy dense cedar forest.I heard nothing.It was also impossible for me to see anything but cedars and more cedars.Hoping to find a way out I walked in the direction of the sunlight.Finally I did end up on a farm a good 4 kilometers away from where my husband was.He had called some friends, Rod and Doug who walked down to the river, could not see me at all and suggested that he call 911.That was a excellent move.The dispatcher contacted Sergeant Cote who was able to triangulate where I was by locating the signal on my cell phone.Within a few minutes Sergeant Boudreault connected with Mr.Robert Murphy, the farmer, and was able to find me and drive me and our small dog back to our place.I want to congratulate the team of the local Surete de Quebec on their efficient and kindly work.Chapeaux Messieurs! Many thanks for your good work.Happily my adventure ended back at our place.SINCERELY, MARIE BENVENISTE.Letters Anglos must deal with no seat in Legault cabinet 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2

minute losses over the weekend, with the men\u2019s rugby team bringing home the only positive league result.The women\u2019s soccer team faced the McGill Martlets on Friday, October 19th, on Coulter Field.Despite goalie Mehana Heins\u2019 14 saves, the Marlets\u2019 Tia Lore found the back of the net in the last and 94th minute of the game.Now 0-12-1, the Gaiters wrapped up their season on Sunday, October 21st at 4 p.m.in Lennoxville against the RSEQ\u2019s #1, the Montréal Carabins.Men\u2019s rugby rookie Jack Shaw scored the Gaiters\u2019 only try against the Montréal Carabins on Friday night, accompanied by Josh Bray\u2019s kicks, finishing the game with a 13-7 win.Securing a spot in the RSEQ playoffs, Bishop\u2019s will enjoy a bye week as their rivals McGill and Sherbrooke will face each other for playoff positions.A Sherbrooke victory would bring the Gaiters down from third place to fourth, traveling to #1 Concordia for the semifinals, while a McGill win would result in a Gaiters vs.Redmen matchup for semis.The women\u2019s basketball team traveled to Toronto, Ontario for the weekend in a off season tournament at Ryerson University.Facing the York Lions on Friday, Bishop\u2019s won 73-55.Saturday wasn\u2019t as successful as they fell 78-56 against the Ryerson Rams.They faced University of Saskatchewan late in the afternoon on Sunday, October 21st for 3rd

Mathieu Demers was able to connect with receiver Melvin Palin for a 37-yard touchdown in the second quarter.This loss concludes the Bishop\u2019s Gaiters second season in the AUS and the X-Men\u2019s fourth Bigg Bowl win.The women\u2019s hockey team travelled to Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont, where they suffered a 5-0 loss.They will be back in action on Saturday, October 26th, as they head down to the University of New Hampshire in Durham, New Hampshire for a 7:15 p.m.game.Bishop\u2019s lacrosse faced CUFLA #2 Trent Excalibur on Coulter Field on Sunday, October 21st.Despite a 6-0 lead in the first quarter and five goals by captain Joel Wright, Trent caught up with six unanswered goals in the third quarter and scored a sneaky last goal with six seconds remaining to the game, finishing off the Gaiters 12-11.The loss secured the Gaiters a fifth position, and they will be facing the second team in the playoffs scheduled for the first weekend of November.The Gaiters will be

I\u2019m only 22 and already I\u2019ve gotten whiplash from all the studies about coffee.First it\u2019s bad for you, then it\u2019s good.Then, oops, no \u2014 it\u2019s actually bad.My girlfriend\u2019s a serious coffee drinker, and she\u2019s thrilled about another new study that says coffee\u2019s going to help her live longer.Is that right?How do we know what to believe?Dear Reader: We agree that the back- and-forth about coffee over the decades has been confusing and for coffee drinkers who want a final answer, frustrating.Part of this is because of the nature of ongoing research, which, as it asks new questions, incorporates the newest data.Add enough variables to any line of inquiry, and chances are quite good that the conclusions will shift, if not change.Another factor that plays a role is the study itself.Many of the coffee studies, including this latest one, have been observational studies.That means that researchers gather data from large populations, identify and account for lifestyle or environmental factors that could sway results, then analyze the resulting data to draw conclusions.When they\u2019re finished they have a correlation, but not a definitive cause.That doesn\u2019t mean such studies should be discounted.Far from it.It was through observational studies that researchers first linked smoking to lung cancer.This in turn led to the more rigorous and targeted research that revolutionized how we view tobacco and tobacco products.We suspect that coffee is the subject of so many studies for a couple of reasons.First, it\u2019s so widely consumed.Here in the United States, it\u2019s our favorite beverage.We drink more coffee than soda, tea and juice combined.Plus, thanks to its caffeine content, coffee is a stimulant.In fact, caffeine is the most widely consumed physiological stimulant in the world.That\u2019s why, with regular use, it can result in a mild form of physical dependence.In addition, caffeine has been associated with adverse side effects in some individuals, such as temporary spikes in blood pressure.All of this \u2014 widespread use, potential physiological effects, as well as the numerous bioactive compounds that it contains \u2014 have made coffee a prime target for research.Which brings us to the new study now making headlines.Researchers in Britain looked at a decade\u2019s worth of health data for about 500,000 adults who regularly drank from one to eight cups of coffee per day.This included brewed and instant coffee, as well as decaf.According to their analysis, those who drank coffee regularly had a slightly (emphasis is ours) lower risk of death than did non-coffee drinkers.Although the study didn\u2019t address questions of how or why, the researchers have cited coffee\u2019s complexity.In addition to the caffeine that reels us in, coffee contains over 1,000 different chemical compounds, including B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, as well as hundreds of phytochemicals with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.However \u2014 and this is important \u2014 if you\u2019re not already a regular or heavy coffee drinker, don\u2019t dive into the deep end with a multi-cup habit.And when it comes to pregnant women, the consensus is clear \u2014 severely limit (or quit) coffee.That\u2019s because the enzyme needed to metabolize caffeine is not present in the fetus.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Latest study adds to increasing data on bene?ts of coffee Fig.16 \u203a If this feels like a math test, visit mathliteracy.ca or call 1-800-303-1004.Math solves problems MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2018 Dear Annie: I own a small service business.We have a business phone number, but I also have a cellphone number.The latter is on my business card, and it is obviously the way people prefer to communicate.My problem is that customers don\u2019t hesitate to call me or text me at any hour of the morning or evening and virtually any time over the weekend, as well.It has really gotten out of hand as of late.I find it to be intrusive.I realize they\u2019re just getting something off their list, but they should either hold off or do it via email, in my humble opinion.My problem is how to address this with them without rubbing them the wrong way.\u2014 Professional Etiquette Paradox Dear Professional Etiquette: In recent years, cellphones have started crossing the wires between professional and personal life.I think that\u2019s a shame.Fortunately, this technological problem also has some technological solutions.Consider using a call and text management app, such as Nextiva, GoDaddy Smart- Line or Google Voice.Google Voice gives you a separate phone number that connects to multiple lines and allows you to determine where messages and calls go at different times of the day.For instance, you could set it to route any calls after 6 p.m.to the office answering machine.It can also keep all your work-re- lated text messages contained within the Google Voice app so they\u2019re not mixed in with your personal messages.This would require printing up new business cards and informing all your current customers that your number has changed.(Though you\u2019d actually still be using your personal cell number, they don\u2019t need to know that.) A small cost and a little hassle for big relief in the long run.Dear Annie: I read your column every day and want to point out a phrase that appeared in a recent letter to you that grates my nerves every time I hear or read it.The writer (apparently a man) wrote, \u201cFive years later, my girlfriend got pregnant.\u201d The structure of that sentence makes it sound as if the girlfriend were mysteriously impregnated.The sentence implies the writer doesn\u2019t think he had anything to do with this situation \u2014 as if his girlfriend just found herself in this situation or caught a disease of some sort.People must be held accountable for their actions, and it starts with our words.It would have been far better if the man had written, \u201cFive years later, I impregnated my girlfriend\u201d or \u201cFive years later, my girlfriend and I were expecting our first baby.\u201d Or, if he wasn\u2019t the person who participated in the commencement of the pregnancy, then he should have stated it as such.I feel sorry for this woman and their children because he is clearly someone who lacks the \u201cpersonal responsibility\u201d gene, as his many woes (debt, unsatisfying job, lack of skills) seem to stem from that weird moment when his \u201cgirlfriend got pregnant.\u201d Thanks for letting me vent.\u2014 It Takes Two to Make Three Dear It Takes Two: Your letter made me chuckle.Good point.I wouldn\u2019t be too hard on this one particular person, as that phrasing is prevalent \u2014 though you make a good case for why it shouldn\u2019t be.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

The curious may work it out."]
