• We Are Ocean founder Jack Shimko remembered for giving those with cancer connection with the water, others

  18-02-2026 16:48 via ocregister.com
  
  It was in the ocean that Jack Shimko was most at peace.
  The sea was where he embarked on long paddles following his Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis in 2009, intent on helping to raise funds for cancer research. The salt water is where he knew others could find solace during their own cancer battles by getting outdoors to connect with nature as a means of therapy while facing an uncertain future.
  Newport Beach paddler Jack Shimko created the nonprofit We Are Ocean. Though Shimko had his own he

  LONDON (AP) — Ever since he was ousted as the head of Ukraine’s army in 2024 and appointed as the country’s ambassador to Britain, Valerii Zaluzhnyi has widely been seen as the top political rival to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

• If exercise can make you feel good, why do so many people hate doing it?

  18-02-2026 16:10 via ocregister.com
  
  The evidence is clear: Exercise has mental health benefits, although studies have come to different conclusions about how large it might be.
  And yet, when February rolls around again, the gyms suddenly aren’t so crowded as New Year’s resolutions lose their shine. Nationwide, only about 30% of people meet the federal guidelines for physical activity, and even in famously outdoorsy Colorado, just 35% do.
  So if exercise gets the endorphins flowing and gives a quick mood boost,

• Frumpy Mom: Why opera is actually not boring. No, it really isn’t.

  I recently went to an opera in Vienna, which I mention just so you can be impressed by my extreme culture and breeding. Just kidding, we did go to the opera but we had obstructed view seats due to my extreme cheaposity. This meant that we only saw part of the stage — the part that cost 16 Euros per ticket.
  Grand opera can be enormously expensive if you buy tickets that actually allow you to see the people on the stage, but I’ve never done this, due to my incurable belief that cheaper
