Abstract: In this thesis I investigate gender in environmental non-governmental organisations (ENGOs) in the United Kingdom (UK) and Turkey. ENGOs play an increasingly important role as lobbyists on environmental policy making at national and international scales. There is large literature dealing with gender inequalities in governing bodies, and in organisations. However, gender structures of ENGOs and their implications for campaigns have been under-researched. I therefore examined the structure and composition of ENGOs in the UK and Turkey, how far they include women in decision-making process and the implications for their campaigns. To this end, I undertook cross-national comparative research applying feminist research methodology to explore differences and similarities and underlying factors for gender inequalities in organisational settings in two different societies. The research methods included 38 interviews and one focus group interview in 9 ENGOs in the UK and 40 interviews in 10 ENGOs in Turkey. These were conducted mainly with senior managers, but also with junior managers and staff. Furthermore, I placed myself as a volunteer and researcher in two ENGOs, one in the UK and one in Turkey in order to observe the organisational practices directly and to enable triangulation of data. In addition, I collected secondary data from annual reports, staff charts, publications and websites of the organisations to collect data on gender compositions as well as campaigns of the ENGOs. In order to explore and provide sufficient explanation for the under-representation of female senior managers and gender inequalities in ENGOs settings, theoretical approaches were looked into in order to find the most appropriate feminist theories that explain the gendered nature of ENGOs. I found that while the ENGO sectors in both countries are dominated by female employees, white, middle class men are in charge of the decision-making in the ENGOs. Moreover, in the ENGOs I found that there seemed to be resistance to integrate gender related perspectives when deciding environmental campaigns. Since there is no research on ENGOs that makes gender blindness visible, this thesis is an attempt to fill that gap. I argue that neglecting gender relations in environmental decision-making and campaigns reinforces the current gendered practices and imbalances in ENGOs that fail to integrate women's perspectives in environmental policies.


Middle School is a time of transition. Students are often caught in between childhood and becoming a young adult - it can be a confusing time of mixed emotions, mixed signals, and mixed expectations. The NWMC Middle School Program is designed to meet students where they are and to walk with them as they encounter the world and begin to define and discern the questions that face all of us: who are we?, why we are here?, what does any of this mean?, and what do I believe?
We begin with a loving community that welcomes questions, celebrates energy and enthusiasm and challenges these young people to live into the lives that God is calling them to now, not just as they prepare for the future. During the week, we will laugh, play, sing, learn, stretch and grow together as we seek to hear God speaking in and through Scripture, speakers, missionaries, and each other.
Each day, students will be invited to connect to God and each other through a variety of activities and experiences. The day begins with personal 'quiet time' with God during morning devotions. During LABS, we experiment with what we have been learning about our faith by putting it into action through a variety of different interactive elements. This is also when we get to hear about what God is doing around the world from first-hand accounts of missionaries from all over our country and the world.
After lunch, there is time spent in activity, in the form of both large group games and mission experiences, as well as a variety of options for free time. After dinner, we gather for a time of worship and reflection as we hear from our speaker for the week. Each night ends with "Side Show," a time for fun, fellowship and a variety of activities (Singing bee, talent show, etc.). We then close each night with a time of discussion in small groups led by our counselors.
The Middle School Program invites students who have completed 6th grade through those having completed 8th grade to come and join them for a week of fun. While some students in the Middle School program attend with their parents, many come on their own as a representative of their church, and some come with their youth group.
Middle School students are housed in an age-specific dorm where they are placed in small groups with their peers and led by a counselor.
Please take note of the packing list.

Need support for SharePoint Management? Manage your SharePoint, office365 and windows with CheckPoint reporting.
Aquaforest CheckPoint is a stand-alone Windows application for SharePoint administrators or content owners that can be used to check multiple SharePoint instances. The software license is perpetual and is licensed on the number of copies actually installed, not the number of SharePoint users.
Aquaforest CheckPoint is installed on a machine of your choice separately from the SharePoint server.
One of the appeals of SharePoint is ability for multiple users to create, upload and modify documents in document libraries, often spanning across several SharePoint farms. The visibility of those documents is a key aspect of a well-managed SharePoint environment. However, as the complexity and volume of data stored increases, managing such environments can become quite challenging.
One scenario that is very likely to happen over time is different users uploading the same document to numerous document libraries, thus creating lots of duplicate documents. Keeping track of duplicate documents spread across multiple farms can be extremely problematic.
SharePoint comprises of Lists and Document Libraries, these structures are used to store items and documents. Users usually have the ability to create list to group items and document libraries to group documents.
Sometimes users can create a list or library and not use them for months or even years. A SharePoint Administrator or Manager might be interested in knowing if these types of List or Library exists.
One of the most attractive features of SharePoint is the ability to search for documents that contain certain texts in them. For this search to work, the document uploaded have to searchable and the SharePoint crawler will have to index these files.
For these files to be crawled and indexed properly, they will have to contain text within them, the main problem here is that a very high percentage of documents in an office are scanned PDF documents with no text. Aquaforest CheckPoint allows you to identify the PDF documents that do not have searchable text in them.
Storage space in SharePoint is a very important resource that should not be misused, sometimes users upload very large documents that could be compressed or saved in a smaller format.
Keeping an eye on this can be a very difficult task especially if the company has a high number of document libraries or SharePoint Farms..
With the release of Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft released a new version of their file extensions. These new files are smaller in size, compressed and a easily readable by third party product.
With Aquaforest CheckPoint a user can create a report that will show the administrator a report of all the legacy documents stored in your SharePoint farm.
Is Aquaforest CheckPoint supported on Virtual machines?
Can you install and configure Aquaforest CheckPoint for us?
One of our expert engineers can install and configure Aquaforest CheckPoint to meet your requirements via a remote session. It is normally straightforward and takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

You can decide to boycott the Copenhagen Accord -- but that comes at a price. For Bolivia, that's $3 million; for Ecuador, it's $2.5 million.
Bolivia emerged as one of the most vociferous critics of the U.S.-brokered climate deal last December, arguing that the political deal aimed at establishing a global trading system for greenhouse gas emissions amounted to an assault by capitalist countries on poor ones. Bolivian president Evo Morales has organized his own climate conference, which will take place later this month.
Ecuador, for its part, submitted a letter on Jan. 31 stating that it "will not join" the agreement, unlike 122 other countries who have either signed on or have pledged to endorse it.
Both nations were in line for funding under the Obama administration's Global Climate Change initiative. The State Department's congressional budget justification for fiscal year 2010 included a request for $3 million for Bolivia and $2.5 million, according to administration officials, but Congress pared down the $373 million for U.S. AID climate change assistance programs to $305.7 million.
After reassessing the budget, State has decided to deny both Bolivia and Ecuador climate assistance. Since all these funding decisions are subject to congressional concurrence, the process is not complete, but it clearly reflects administration policy.
"There's funding that was agreed to as part of the Copenhagen Accord, and as a general matter, the U.S. is going to use its funds to go to countries that have indicated an interest to be part of the Accord," said U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern in an interview. He added this policy test was "not categorical," so some nations that declined to sign on could still obtain circumstances.
But David Waskow, climate change program director for Oxfam America, challenged Stern's reasoning.
"No one can question that poor people in Bolivia and Ecuador are extremely vulnerable to climate change impacts. We should be making these decisions based on the merits of which communities need our support, not some other factors," Waskow said. "If you want to build confidence and trust among developing countries, this would not be the way to do it, especially in light of the fact that we haven't yet passed a climate change bill."
The United States has been one of the largest historical contributors to the climate change problem. Because of their past emissions (among other idustrialized countries), global warming will UNAVOIDABLY increase (IPCC's 4th report). Developing countries like Bolivia and Ecuador who did practically nothing to contribute to this problem will HAVE to foot the costs to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. This is worsened by the fact that these countries have the least capacity (resources) to adapt.
Financial support for adapting to climate change is NOT charity or a handout. It is based on the fundamental principles of international environmental law - the polluter must pay and there has to be differentiated responsibility based on the contribution to the problem and the ability to pay.
The US's recent announcement epitomizes everything that's wrong with the climate change international legal framework. There is nothing fair in the process.
Pity that Post reporter Juliet Eilperin did not put the $2.5 million in the context of the Yasuni-ITT Initiative. The German government has offered Ecuador $650 million to keep the oil underground in the Yasuni UN Biosphere. Unlike Obama in the US, the Correa government of Ecuador is exploring policies that promise long-term sustainability.
While this is part of a game, the US needs to play its role. Politics and international relations are almost all about perception. If Bolivia and Ecuador want to play-act their independence, that is certainly their option. We don't have to underwrite it.
Since many fair-minded people,given the facts, would likely admit that the Copenhagen Accord in and of itself lacks sufficient muscle to avert climate disaster, State's denial of funds to those who resist signing it seems dangerously arrogant. We needed wiser governance than that.
Since many if not most among the well-informed would admit that there is substantial reason to find the Copenhagen Accord inadequate to protect the planet, State's refusal to deliver funds to Bolivia and Ecuador has an arrogant, even tyrannical ring to it.My way or the highway, lousy as it sounds, would be a more credible command if the "my way" weren't so eminently dangerous.
Obama seems to be obsessed with extortion and bribery.
Why would the U.S. pay other countries money as part of a climate accord.
You can't even begin to explain this in any sort of rational way. It seems like magic, fairy tales and ponies, not facts and thoughtfulness.
From what i've seen lately it looks like its all about money and not climate change thats why the poor countries are so in to it,and it looks like every day some thing comes out to dispute climate change.
This is absolutely the RIGHT decision by the State Dept. Yes, Bolivia and Ecuador might need help. But if their leaders are as blind and as corrupt as they are, then why throw taxpayer dollars down that rathole? If they want the $$, then they should join the Copenhagen Accord like 120 other countries have.

Of course, potash isn't the except answer to retaining healthy crops around the world, but it is an noteworthy one.

Mealworms are scavengers. It doesn't necessarily make them a bad worm, but it does help to conclude them. If you would like to start a mealworm farm, you can find starters in damp, spoiled grain et sequens farinaceous products.

They get their fluids from wet fruits like apples or over-ripe bananas and vegetables such comme il faut the potato or carrot. They also lay eggs on these foods. You can hold on to them alive et alii dormant at temperature ranges over 40 degrees. They prefer ardor environments of 80 degrees to grow and change. So, don't calculate on them reproducing at the low temperature ranges.
Did you recognize you can eat mealworms raw further live? Ok, it is not your average meal, besides it's salubrious and is encouraged in different countries. If you would like the benefits, but can't stomach the thought, maybe you could try baking them or turning them into flour to use in other recipes.

If exiguous else, you could safely serve them to that annoying cousin just for a laugh. It can be your mediocre secret!
Meal worm farming is probably one of the smallest costly worm farming you can enter. It's a good way to experiment and can sometimes be a safe way to feed your pets something natural and healthy. You could strengthen the worms to your dog or cats diet toward employing the flour to produce dog or cat food. Safe, natural, and healthy is the wave of the future.

About TMB
Quality and environmental administration
We contribute to developing a sustainable model of city, where public transport plays a key role.
Approximately 50% of pollution of the Barcelona metropolitan area stems from motorised traffic.
Barcelona is the city with the highest density of vehicles per KM2 in Europe (1,079,523 vehicles/ day). It is also among the 5 most polluted cities in Europe, twice as much as Paris or London.
TMB is proposed as the main solution by offering a sustainable, quality public transport service.
TMB hence contributes to developing a sustainable model of city, with the following characteristics:
Efficient consumption of land
TMB is the urban public transport system that guarantees a more efficient consumption of land: the metro has the capacity to transport 16,000 people/hour; a standard bus, 1200 people/hour; an articulated bus, 2000 people/hour and a bi-articulated bus, 2800 people/hour.
On the other hand, private vehicles only have a capacity of between 660 and 1,180 people/hour.

More sustainable mobility system and quality public area
TMB contributes to reducing atmospheric pollution (NOx, PM, CO2) and acoustic pollution, along with the fight against climate change (CO2).
As an urban collective transport system and taking into account the carbon footprint of the fleet, travellers who choose TMB over the use of private vehicles, reduce the emissions of CO2 from 183 g/tk (traveller per kilometre) to 115g/vkm in relation to a diesel bus or 35.6g/tkm for electric buses and 23.7g/tkm for the metro. Similarly, emissions of NOx and PM, which are related to local pollution in cities and to phenomena such as acid rain, are greatly reduced.

Prop 10: Rent Control
Prop 10: Rent Control | KCET
Ballot Brief
This proposition did not pass.
Encuentra la versión en español aqui
Sponsored by Sheppard Mullin, a full service, global law firm with 825 attorneys. The firm handles corporate and technology matters, high stakes litigation and complex financial transactions.
Allows local governments to adopt rent control.
This initiative repeals the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, the 1995 state law that sharply limited municipal rent control ordinances.
Supports local governments adopting rent control. Opposes local governments adopting rent control.
The 1995 law kept cities from establishing rent control over single-family homes, condominiums and new residential buildings, and it allowed landlords to charge market price when a rent-controlled unit became vacant.
Democrats who support rent control because of the state's critical shortage of affordable housing tried unsuccessfully to win repeal in the Legislature of the 1995 restrictions, which have some support across party lines. Gavin Newsom, the Democratic candidate for governor, does not oppose rent control in principle but has not endorsed Prop 10 out of concern that it would affect much needed housing production. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has endorsed Prop 10, arguing that local government should have control of any rent regulation.
The biggest backer of the initiative, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, joined with other advocacy groups that argue that housing is a basic human right and a public health issue. Opponents of Prop 10 don't dispute that high rents and gentrification are issues but say the only solution is building more multifamily housing, and that rent control is a disincentive to those who can build and maintain housing.
As of midsummer, about $34 million had been raised by both sides, almost two-thirds by opponents, funded by rental property owners and their associations. The ballot measure says it "provides that rent-control policies may not violate landlords' right to a fair financial return on their rental property."

Q: Wait execution of a new inner promise I'm new to this promises world and I got quite a situation I don't know what to do.
I have a new promise been called by the result of the first promise.
Here is the situation:
    function asyncCall(object){
           return firstObject.loadSomething(object).then(function(result) {
               result.innerAsyncCall().then(function() {
                    finalCode();
               });
           });
    }

I loop over asyncCall and build a $q.all().then() to wait for the promises to resolve.
However, since the inner promise is not chained it runs independently.
Sample Code:
var promises = [];
array.forEach(function(object){
     promises.push(asyncCall(object));
});

$q.all(promises).then(function(){
     console.log('Done!!');
});

The question is. What can I do to wait the full execution of the inner promise?

A: If you resolve a promise with a promise, it will "recursively" adopt its state and wait for the innermost one. In the case of a .then() call, the new promise is resolved with the return value of the callback - so you just have to add a return to your code and it'll work:
function asyncCall(object) {
    return firstObject.loadSomething(object).then(function(result) {
        return result.innerAsyncCall().then(function() {
//      ^^^^^^
            finalCode();
        });
    });
}

Notice that you can also flatten this into a chain:
function asyncCall(object) {
    return firstObject.loadSomething(object).then(function(result) {
        return result.innerAsyncCall();
    }).then(finalCode);
}

To most people archaeology conjures up exotic images of digs in far way places like China, Egypt or South America. We have visions of ancient artifacts like gold coins and pottery, cliff dwellings and pyramids. And while those romantic images are familiar, they mask a really important fact that every place on earth has a past and that past history is very important.
Well the aim of archaeologists is to develop mankind's understanding of how its behaviour has changed over time and the reason for those changes. An archaeologist searches for evolutionary patterns associated with major cultural developments like the collapse of large civilisations, the development of new processes like farming and how cities emerge.
Archaeologists search for better ways to predict how different cultures around our planet will change over time and most important of all how mankind can better plan its future.
This site is dedicated to the awards which recognise the immensely valuable role archaeologists play in our society.
The prestigious British Archaeological Awards were held in Central Hall Westminster on 15th October 2018. These awards held every two years are Britain's only independent sector-wide archaeological awards, celebrating and showcasing the best in British archaeology.
Professor Carenza Lewis was the compere for the evening, well known to many for her contribution to the popular Time Team TV programme.
This project encouraged and facilitated public participation in the dynamic archaeology of the River Thames inter-tidal zone.
Top honours for Archaeologist of the Year at the prestigious Current Archaeology Awards for 2018 went to Dr Hella Eckardt of the University of Reading.
A specialist in social approaches to Roman archaeology, she explores social and cultural identity in antiquity, and her latest monograph Writing and power in the Roman world: literacies and material culture considers relationships between the material culture of writing and sociocultural identities.
The 20th European Archaeological Heritage Prize has been awarded to Ivan Pavlů in recognition of his long-lasting European-wide contributions to the study of Neolithic settlements, with particularly important achievements in terms of scientific methodology and heritage management.
The award was also conferred upon Francisco Javier Sánchez-Palencia Ramos in recognition of his international expertise in the study of Roman mining activities and industrial landscapes, as notably evidenced at the World Heritage Site of Las Médulas.
Instituted in 1990 to permit SAA to recognize individuals who have provided extraordinary services to the society and the profession in the past year. Awardees are determined by the president of the society, in consultation with members of the Executive Board.
For her dedication to the understanding of and advising on one of the most important, always evolving, and challenging issues, namely, repatriation; her articulate and fair insights and assessments; her committee leadership and willingness to travel for the best interests of the Society; and for her professionalism, sense of equity and balance, and always timely advice.
Keeping track if a plethora of artifacts during the course of a large project can be quite challenging.
However, the advent of cloud based audit management software which can catalogue artifact findings with both comprehensive data and visual records has proven to be a great asset. With instant uploading to an online database, dig audits can be kept right up to date and accessed anywhere in the world enabling greater real time collaboration.

While the Netherlands and England both look to build on opening victories when they meet in Ulm, France and Croatia cannot afford another slip-up.

Netherlands v England (Donaustadion, Ulm, 12.00CEST)
• Scorer of two goals in Tuesday's 3-1 win against Croatia, Netherlands forward Steven Bergwijn is unsurprisingly full of confidence ahead of the top of the table meeting with England. "I've said from the start that we have a great team," said Bergwijn. "If we do what we can and everyone is at the top of their game, then we might just win the tournament."
• After his side held on to beat France 2-1 in Heidenheim on Tuesday, England coach Aidy Boothroyd is considering a change of tactics against the Netherlands. "I saw them play very, very well in the first half [against Croatia]," said Boothroyd. "We've got to come up with a different game plan now against the Dutch, who I think are a very good team."

• U19 EURO final tournament schedule
Croatia v France (Wald Stadion, Aalen, 19.30CEST)
• Despite that 3-1 defeat by the Netherlands, Croatia's players will "fight for a positive result against France," says forward Ivan Božić. "We respect them, but we will give our best on the field. The most important thing is that we have forgotten the defeat and that the atmosphere in the team remains very good."
• France captain Lucas Tousart has promised improvement against Croatia after Les Petits Bleus went down to England. "We need to rediscover our defensive solidity to go far," said the Lyon midfielder. "That has to be a collective effort. This group has the mental and physical qualities to do better. I'm convinced that we have the quality to bounce back."

On a summer's day in 1596, a young girl in Stratford-upon-Avon takes to her bed with a fever. Her twin brother, Hamnet, searches everywhere for help. Why is nobody at home?
Their mother, Agnes, is over a mile away, in the garden where she grows medicinal herbs. Their father is working in London. Neither parent knows that one of the children will not survive the week.
Hamnet is a novel inspired by the son of a famous playwright. It is a story of the bond between twins, and of a marriage pushed to the brink by grief. It is also the story of a kestrel and its mistress; flea that boards a ship in Alexandria; and a glovemaker's son who flouts convention in pursuit of the woman he loves. Above all, it is a tender and unforgettable reimagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, but whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays ever written.
In my younger days I became fascinated by William Shakespeare and his plays and sonnets. I have been lucky to have been to the Globe on London's South side of the River Thames number of times. One of my favourite writers has written an intimate historical novel based on one of Shakespeare's sons. Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell (Tinder Press) is released on 31st March.
Hamnet born to William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes (Anne Hathaway) and the twin of Judith in the year 1585. One thing I will say here for Shakespeare aficionados is that this is a fictional account of the family life of the Shakespeare's not so much about the man himself and his wife Agnes takes centre stage through the novel.
As the story opens with the young Hamnet in the house seemingly alone with his sister Judith in bed and is very poorly. Hamnet is searching for someone in his mother Agnes. Agnes is out in the fields. The story tells of how Agnes and William first met and their humble beginnings as married couple and how the couple spent time apart as William was in London trying to earn a living and Agnes was at home expecting twins.
Hamnet dies at the age of 11 at a time when a third of all children died before they reached the age of ten. It is suggested in further readings that Hamnet may have died from the bubonic plague and the plague itself takes a major part of the novel.
The effect of Hamnet's death at such a young age has a devastating effect on the family. This is a heartbreaking story so tenderly told by Maggie O'Farrell. Losing a loved creates a feeling like the walls of life are closing in and a claustrophobic feeling and the feeling of loss never leaves as you and this comes through the storyline.
There are many characters that O'Farrell brings into the story and each has their own life that only O'Farrell can bring into her books. Even the everyday life of the people of Stratford-upon-Avon is beautifully told. There are many who question whether the death of Hamnet was when Shakespeare then wrote his play Hamlet this will be talked about but either way this is without doubt Maggie O'Farrell's finest novel to-date and one I loved reading. I have thought a lot about Hamnet since I have read O'Farrell's historical novel. Many might be put off because it has the 'Shakespeare' tag but I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
Thank you to Georgina Moore (Midas PR) for the review copy of Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell is published by Tinder Press 31st March on 2020 and is available to pre-order through Waterstones, Amazon and through your local independent bookshop.

Ole Hansen
Ole Hansen is a salmon smoker. Like many artisan entrepreneurs he has literally built his business brick by brick. He built his traditional smokehouse in Stoke Newington, North London and true to four generations of Hansen and Lydersen craft, he insists on producing his salmon according to the long-standing smoking traditions that have made his family's success for over 80 years.
His great grandfather Lyder-Nilsen was a salmon fisherman in a small town some 240 miles north of the Arctic Circle. His smoked salmon recipe, using a subtle mixture of juniper and beech woods, turned out a great local success. His son Leif Lydersen, born in 1916, took over the family business in 1962, teaching his two daughters Lil and Bodil how to smoke his traditional Kirkenes salmon. The sisters did not carry on with the smoked salmon business but Lil's son is Ole Hansen and he has revived the family tradition in London.
Ole is a typical artisan producer – no compromises are made over sourcing or in production and his passion for his craft is deeply personal.

MARQUETTE, Mich. -- The Marine Corps' most talented jazz musicians staged performances and held music clinics across Michigan during their third annual All-Star Jazz Band tour from April 10 to 15.
The top 18 jazz musicians were selected from the Marine Corps' 12 field bands to wow the people of Michigan.
The Marines arrived in Traverse City, Mich., and spent the next two days rehearsing and perfecting the pieces they would soon be performing.
"They are the best players of their own bands," said Chief Warrant Officer 4 Jim Ford, head of the Marine Corps Music Program at Headquarters Marine Corps. "They learned to play together very quickly due to their top-notch skill and experience."
For some of these musicians, it was not the first time playing in the All-Star Jazz Band.
"We started this three years ago," said Ford. "The first two years we toured through South Carolina and Georgia, with a final performance at the Lakeside Jazz Festival in Daytona, Fla."
After a few days of rehearsal, the Marines spent a week performing and holding jazz clinics at various colleges and high schools.
"The recruiters in parts of the upper Midwest have limited access to high schools," said Ford. "Two of the schools we visited, Marquette High School and Interlochen Arts Academy, had restricted access. The Marine Corps' outreach to those schools greatly improved through our visits."
Ford spoke with Marine music technical assistants stationed in the various Marine Corps Districts to decide where the they would tour this year in order to increase the Corps' recruiting visibility.
"This tour allows us to take our best musicians and tie into the Northern Michigan University Jazz Festival; building recruiting operations and public performances around that," said Gunnery Sgt. Jason Knuckles, a tenor saxophonist and music technical assistant of 9th Marine Corps District.
As an MTA, Knuckles is responsible for auditioning applicants that would like to become Marine musicians in the upper Midwest.
"We held clinics for the students, playing for them and with them," Knuckles said. "We gave them pointers that will help them further their musical careers and also let them know about the opportunities to pursue music in the Marine Corps."
As the clinics ended, band rooms buzzed with students talking about what they learned and what they enjoyed most, and some students even approached Knuckles and the local recruiter about a possible Marine music career.
"They sounded great, and being able to play beside [Marines] was an amazing experience," said Cam Forton, trombonist and senior at Traverse City West High School.
The clinic sparked an interest for Forton in a possible Marine music career, which lead him to set up a meeting with a recruiter later that week.
"It was nice to see there is more to military music than playing in ceremonies," said Forton. "There are opportunities to teach, tour and travel like these musicians."
The All Star ensemble's final concert kicked off the Northern Michigan University Jazz Festival.
"We had the audience on the edge of their seats during the entire concert," said Ford. "After two hours they wanted more, and that's unusual. Several people commented, 'I could've stayed here another hour!'"
Wrapping up the tour, the Marines and music educators spent the day judging and holding jazz clinics for band members of 26 Michigan high schools.
From the standing ovations to the positive student feedback, the tour proved to be a success for the third year in a row.
"While the All-Star Jazz Band tour is a major event for the music program and Marine public affairs, the Marine Corps field bands try to reach out as much as they can," said Ford. "The Twentynine Palms (Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif.,) and Albany (Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Ga.,) bands do the bulk of our community outreach, greatly improving recruiter access everywhere they go."
