An Oregon-based business student, Cody Gotchall enjoys volunteering at local animal shelters and soup kitchens. Beyond his educational and philanthropic endeavors, Cody Gotchall enjoys watching TV shows like Elementary, Person of Interest, and Sherlock. He counts Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch as his favorite actor. 

Since first starring as Sherlock's titular character in 2010, Cumberbatch has had lead roles in popular films like Star Trek Into Darkness, The Imitation Game, and Doctor Strange. In May it was announced that his latest film, The Current War, will be released nationwide in October 2019 by 101 Studios.

It was written by Michael Mitnick and directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.

OSU Catcher Adley Rutschman Generating Draft Buzz

A member of the board of directors of The Arc of Benton County, Cody Gotchall is working toward earning a transfer degree in business online. Cody Gotchall is a fan of baseball and has enjoyed following the Oregon State University (OSU) Baseball team since he was in middle school.

This year's OSU Beavers baseball team is led by one of the most-hyped prospects since Bryce Harper. Despite his success working with the team's pitching staff as a freshman, catcher Adley Rutschman struggled at the plate, hitting just .234 in the regular season and .164 the following fall in the Cape Cod League. He worked extensively on his swing during the offseason and returned to Oregon for the 2018 season as one of the best college players in the country. 

Rutschman registered a .408 batting average during his sophomore season and earned recognition as Most Outstanding Player during the 2018 College World Series. Now in his third season, the switch-hitting catcher boasted a .427 batting average to go along with 16 home runs as of May 22. As a result, he is expected to go first overall in this year's MLB Draft. Only one catcher, Joe Mauer, has been drafted in that position since 1975.

Three Helpful Tips for Effective Self-Advocacy

Cody Gotchall is an Oregon-based student working online toward a transfer degree in accounting. Aside from his academic responsibilities, Cody Gotchall enjoys volunteering in his community and serving on the Arc of Benton County board of directors as a self-advocacy representative.

Self-advocacy is the ability to express yourself and stand up for your interests. Self-advocacy skills can help you make life decisions more easily and have more control over what is best for you. Below are three useful tips for good self-advocacy.

1. Know your rights. Be aware of your lawful rights and recognize that you are entitled to equal rights according to the law. If unsure of your rights, find out about them through disability rights programs, community support groups, crisis hotlines, social networking, classes, and workshops.

2. Talk about your questions and concerns. Write down questions and concerns and discuss them by phone, in person, or in a letter with the relevant party. Speak politely while communicating your wants and listen carefully to the answers and explanations provided. If clarification is needed, ask for it.

3. Keep a written record of important information and decisions. Get information in writing by asking for it. If someone states something is a law, procedure or policy, ask for a written copy of it, or find out where it can be viewed. If you don’t agree with a particular decision, ask for the decision and the reasons behind it to be provided in a written format.

Tasty Side Dishes to Pair with Barbequed Ribs

Based in Corvallis, Oregon, Cody Gotchall is studying accounting online and working toward a transfer degree in business. Cody Gotchall has been a dedicated volunteer in his community over the past several years and enjoys playing cribbage, watching baseball, and eating barbequed pork ribs.

Barbequed pork ribs are a popular food that combines well with a variety of other dishes. Below are some of the tastiest side dishes to consider serving alongside any type of ribs.

Herbed Potato Salad is an ideal dish to help counter the richness of barbecued ribs. A tangy dressing such as shallot-and-Dijon vinaigrette featuring herbs including parsley, dill, and tarragon mixed with soft-cooked potatoes provides a refreshing contrast of flavor to ribs. Another dish bursting with fresh ingredients is easy corn and tomato coleslaw. This dish is comprised of cherry tomatoes, tomatillos, fresh corn, green cabbage, and a sprinkling of cilantro.

Cooked dishes that combine well with ribs include mac and cheese made creamy-style or sprinkled with panko breadcrumbs for a crunchy texture, and cheese grits baked into a casserole dish. Cheese grits are made using quick-cooking grits, milk, hot sauce, sharp cheddar, and eggs.

Four Surprising Health Benefits of Donating Blood

A student and volunteer, Cody Gotchall is an active member of the community through his participation in nonprofit programs. Since 2012, Cody Gotchall has donated blood to the American Red Cross.

According to the American Red Cross, someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds. Donating blood could save these peoples’ lives. However, the benefits of donating blood are not limited to blood recipients only. Donors also benefit from donating blood.

1. Reduced risk of iron overload and its resulting conditions. Excess absorption of iron in the body, whether because of genetics, alcoholism, or anemia, increases the risk of health conditions like hemochromatosis. Also, the excess iron is usually stored in organs like the heart and liver, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and liver issues. Donating blood reduces iron overload. 

2. Reduced risk of cancer. Research shows that donating blood at least once every year reduces the risk of cancer. This is because iron accelerates free radical damage in the body that may result in cancer. Reducing iron reserves through blood donation reduces the likelihood of liver, colon, lung, and esophagus cancers. 

3. Stimulates blood cell production. Donating blood stimulates the body to produce new blood cells for good overall health. 

4. Free medical check-up. The blood donation process involves a trip to the doctor and access to medical tests which can reveal potential health problems.

Reasons to Try Boating

Cody Gotchall studied STEM subjects at Oregon State University. He also studied accounting at the Linn Benton Community College. When free, Cody Gotchall enjoys boating.

Boating can be very rewarding and stress-relieving. A boating experience targets the mental processes that can increase one’s ability to focus and concentrate. Aside from its effects on health, boating also promotes bonding. Although boating alone is possible, going with a group brings greater satisfaction. Doing things together, such as racing, cruising, or anchoring, encourages stronger relationships. Sailing may offer significant opportunities to build a team.

Boating teaches craftsmanship. When sailing, there may be instances when something needs to be fixed or improved on a boat that must be personally done. For this reason, a boater must be able to learn basic fixes and improvements, such as fixing a leaked plug, repainting, or changing the engine oil.

Boating develops skills and confidence. Sailing requires decision-making, sometimes quickly. Although not life-threatening, a boater must be alert, quick, and confident in unexpected situations, such as when strong winds or waves arise. He or she must practice their skills and be confident while staying calm and relaxed to handle the situation.
