Horncastle Farmer's Ball brings the glitz
Marie Curie daffodil appeal needs your help
Terminal illness charity Marie Curie is asking people of Gainsborough to volunteer to collect for its Great Daffodil Appeal in the coming weeks.
24th Jan 2017, 11:30am
Collectors are needed in Gainsborough for Marie Curie's Great Daffodil Appeal
Volunteering just two hours of your time to give out daffodil pins in return for a donation can help Marie Curie Nurses be there for people living with a terminal illness in their own homes.
The Great Daffodil Appeal is Marie Curie's biggest annual fund-raising campaign, which takes places throughout February and March, but the charity needs people to sign up to volunteer now.
Gary Burr, community fund-raiser at Marie Curie, said: "We are calling on the people of Lincolnshire to help us make every daffodil count this year.
"All you have to do is encourage people to give a donation and wear a daffodil pin, it's that simple.
"So round up your friends, family and colleagues and together we can help Marie Curie Nurses provide vitals hands on care and emotional support to people living with a terminal illness, and their loved ones."
Kelvin Carter, Marie Curie collector and face of The Great Daffodil Appeal, added: "Sylvia, my first wife, was a Marie Curie Nurse.
"She enjoyed being in a position to be able to help people, that was why she did nursing.
"When Sylvia was diagnosed with cancer, I knew that I couldn't do her justice in looking after her in the way that she deserved to be.
"The Marie Curie hospice where she worked offered to look after her and I was absolutely delighted to think that the people who had worked with her, and loved her, were able to care for her.
"It was amazing – it couldn't have been better.
"I raise money for the appeal in Sylvia's memory.
"Two hours spent collecting isn't a lot of time but every second counts.
"I would encourage anyone to collect – if I can do it, you can too."
Gainsborough collections will take place on February 17 and 18 at Tesco, March 3 and 4 on the town centre streets, March 11 at Marshall Yard anx March 10, 11 and 12 at Morrisons.
Make every daffodil count and volunteer to support now.

108: Have Jays fans neglected Mark Buehrle?
A couple weeks ago I decided it was time for a new Blue Jays jersey. My Vernon Wells just wasn't cutting it anymore and I prefer to keep my Roberto Alomar World Series jersey on the wall - where it's safe.
(Ever since the great "beer and mustard" incident of 2014 I've been terrified of wearing ol' Robbie in public).
During my quest for new Jays threads I was unsurprisingly drawn towards the standard, safe jersey choices - yourJose Bautista's, Edwin Encarnacion's, and Russell Martin's. I even toyed with the slightly more alternativeAaron Sanchez before finally settling on the now not-so-original "bringer of rain," Josh Donaldson.
Immediately following my purchase Donaldson began his offensive tear. Heading into Friday night's game at Fenway Park he is sixth in the American League in average (.317), second in home runs (17), and second in in RBI (44).
That is until the Jays faced the the Washington Nationals, and a certain crafty veteran left-hander took the hill.
How had I never even considered getting "BUEHRLE" stitched across the back of my jersey?
You want to talk about a safe choice? The guy has always been a winner.
And it was on June 3rd, as Mark Buehrle recorded his second complete game in a row (a shutout), I realized the significance of my negligence went beyond the purchase of a jersey. I had never accepted how good he really was.
I'm ashamed to admit that I have not given Buehrle the credit he is due. But chances are you haven't either.
The night of my epiphany I watched the lefty completely manhandle the then 1st place Nationals. I also watched him record a hit, drop a perfect sacrifice bunt, and slide hard into second base to break up a double play.
To borrow a complex term from my favourite sports personality, Don Cherry, I had always known Buehrle was a real "beauty".
It's not like he's a World Series champion, five time all-star, and five-time gold glove winner... He doesn't have more starts than any other active pitcher in baseball, hasn't thrown a no-hitter and the 18th perfect game in MLB history, or had 14 consecutive years of 200-plus innings and four seasons with 16 or more wins, right?
That's just crazy talk! Those stats must be referring to some legendary Hall of Famer!
I kept track of how many fans were wearing Buehrle jerseys.
The answer? It honestly pains me to say it... three. I probably saw more Kawasaki jerseys in the stands.
After the game I even spoke with a sales manager at a store in Toronto that specializes in Jays merchandise. She was pretty adamant that when it came to jersey sales Buehrle was not a top seller.
Now there has to be some sort of explanation. There is no way everyone can be as naive and foolish as I am.
Perhaps it's the lack of flashiness in his game that makes him so easy to overlook. With one of the slowest fastballs in the league he's not taking the mound trying to strike everybody out. He has to rely on deception and pinpoint location - not exactly the most exciting skills to young fans.
(But at the same time, I also find it a bit endearing).
It's also possible the rumours that this could be Buehrle's last season have dissuaded people from investing in his jersey. But I'm not buying that (pun intended) either - he's been a horse since the day he joined the Jays.
It's more likely that the lack of Buehrle sightings relates to an ever-growing generational gap. After-all, it wasn't always this way.
He was a fan favourite in Chicago when pitching for the White Sox from 2000-2011. And his numbers and record haven't changed much since he moved to Toronto. To put it plainly, he's been the poster boy of consistency.
It's scary to think about, but maybe Mark Buehrle is the last of a dying breed.
It shouldn't come as a surprise if the younger generations are more inclined to identify with a Marcus Stroman than a Buehrle (and to be fair that afternoon game on Wednesday was packed with school kids).
But, no offence to Stroman, it all seems a bit... sad.
In a world where a player's all-star appearances and status in fandom have as much to do with their presence on social media as their performance on the field, it's clear that honest guys like Buehrle no longer fit in.
His deep hatred for anything involving cameras or attention has never been a secret. For starters, he doesn't have a twitter account (one of the only Jays without one).
But it was not long ago where veteran workhorses, defensive specialists, and stoic good guys like John McDonald were right up there with the superstars as fan favourites.
Nowadays if you ask the casual Jays fan who their favourite player is? I bet you you'll hear a lot of "Jose Bautista's." And rightfully so. He has been the face of the Blue Jays franchise for years (and also has 689,000 twitter followers).
You unfortunately won't hear many fans say, "Mark Buehrle." In fact, don't be surprised if you hear more mentions of KAWASAKI.
Now I enjoy a good Munenori Kawasaki interview as much as the next fan, but let's be serious here, he hasn't captured the fan base because of his on-field prowess (he has a career average of .235). Yes he's had a few clutch hits and is fairly reliable defensively, but Buehrle has been a stud for ONE AND A HALF DECADES.
Fans love Kawasaki because of his strange antics and bubbly personality, but mostly for those viral interviews on MLB Tonight and Sportsnet - as bizarre and hilarious as they may be.
("I am from Japan... I AM JAPANESEEEEEEE" - the fact that you know exactly what I'm talking about solidifies the point).
But all that public "look at me" stuff... that's just not what Buehrle is about.
We caught a glimpse of this first-hand after his base hit against the Nationals when he refused to give the bench a "stir-it-up" (the pot-stirring hand gesture Jays players make to one another whenever they reach base). You could even see Danny Valencia in the dugout, egging him on.
Nope, that isn't "Papa Buehrle" (as he is known to the rookies).
He doesn't have a 20-win season or a Cy Young award, but Buehrle's accomplishments would make even the top big-leaguer envious.
His five all-star appearances are the same amount as Bautista (the most of any current Blue Jay), three more than Encarnacion, and four more than R.A. Dickey, who does have a Cy Young award and is actually four years older than Buehrle.
Buehrle's career ERA of 3.82 is 22 points lower than Dickey's. His career WHIP of 1.28 is the same as Jon Lester's (one of the highest paid pitchers in baseball, albeit much younger) and three points better than recent Hall of Fame left-hander, Tom Glavine.
Buehrle has the longest perfect inning streak of any starting pitcher in the history of the MLB (15) and is only the seventh pitcher to ever throw 14 consecutive seasons of 200 or more innings.
Oh, by the way, all seven of those previous pitchers are in the Hall of Fame.
That's some resume. Yet, as he flies under the media's radar, Buehrle continues to be undervalued by fans.
Well my eyes are now opened.
As the Jays look to extend their eight game winning streak, what more can we really ask of a 36 year old vet who has never once been on the disabled list in his career?
Well there is that whole "post-season" thing... But for now let's just chalk it up as a sign of the times.
Meanwhile, does anybody have a jersey hookup?
'Cause this time I definitely know who's going on the back.

Triumph TR6 - Manifold to Water Pump Pipe Frozen?
72 TR6. I was replacing all rubber hoses on the car today when I noticed that the "Y" end of the manifold to water pump pipe appeared (to me) to be rotated too low. In other words, both parts of the "Y" end were aiming at the passenger side of the engine bay. Looking at the double nut at the water pump end, I thought I should be able to loosen the outer nut and rotate the pipe to a more desirable position, then retighten the outer nut. Is that how it is "supposed" to work? My pipe is not moving independently from the nut i.e., loosen the nut, and the whole pipe turns with it. Now I am afraid if I mess with it any more, I'll crack or break something. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
Matthew, you are right they should move independently of each other as they are separate parts. They do however have a tendency to get stuck. Shoot it with some spray lube then hold the pipe as you wiggle the nut back and forth just a little. The lube should penetrate and let the nut turn. Isn't there a bracket at the back end of the engine to support the pipe? If the pipe is rotated to the wrong position, the bracket will be bent. The nut compress's a ferrule to make the joint water tight, just like under basins and tiolets.
Thanks, that's what I figured. Yes, there is a bracket (which I didn't see at first) and my attempts to reposition the pipe kind of tweeked that a bit. I'll try more rust buster in there today a hope for the best.
BTW, if it does break, can it be replaced without removing the carb and exhaust manifolds? Please say yes (if it is true).
I don't know how easy it'll be to remove the pipe without removing the manifolds. I'm sure that it can be done though. I had mine all apart when I replaced the pipe with a new polished stainless steel one from Kai Radicke. Looks and hopes to work great. The bracket at the rear of the engine is attached to the rear engine plate. If you remove the pipe you can "adjust" the bracket with a cushioned hammer and anvil to whatever you need to properly position and attach it to the plate. Try Aerokroil to break the nut loose. If all else fails you're welcome to my used pipe and nut, both cleaned and now in my "left over" bin and I'll powder coat for you, but it'll still be a 39 year old water pipe!! Mine was full of crud, but I successfully cleaned it up just in case my new one did not work properly.
Doug is probably right about being able to remove the pipe with the manifolds on. It will be a pita though. If you do take it off and use it again, wrap a few laps of teflon tape right around the whole ferrule, it will stand a much better chance of not leaking, making you remove it again. Also, little antisieze on the threads for next time.
Well, lo and behold, the nut/pipe finally broke free late last night. It wasn't a sudden "snap" but more of a slow, squeeky release. I will button everything back up with new hoses today and then refill the cooling system. Then, the moment of truth will come as to whether the whole process damaged the pipe in any way (i.e. read - cracked).
Thanks to all of you who offered suggestions (and Doug who even offered a part).
It is comforting while going through a frustrating process like that to read occasional "I've been through thats" and "Hey, how about trying this". Helps to keep one grounded.

Let us take a look at the progression; first it was the advent of the simple arcade type games which were phenomenal to a certain point. Kept players hooked and introduced a whole new boom of media into the world. This was where literally every child was begging for the Atari systems and your Pentium II and III machines had Sega and NeoGeo emulators installed (mine still has both installed by the way) and game play elements were about difficult commands mixed in with clever sequences. Take this forward a bit further and the same two systems incorporated decent mixed stories and continuity in the games enhance the media capabilities being explored in the two avenues. The fighting game series KOF is an ardent testament to that and from there came the further boom of turn based strategy and role playing games which became akin to "user controlled novels" on computers. This adaptability of both game-play and media can be called as the turning curve of the gaming industry.
Because this was where a lot of business heads realized that the games could be used to simulate a lot of things, pretty much everything so the potential as a business commodity was obvious even from then on. The progress from then on was about enhancing the visual effects of the game, the additives were obvious the visuals needed more work so in came the influx of investment in gaming studios and the push for 3d graphics into gaming. That apex can be called as the secondary curve because once that was established, the potential for business gain via games became second to almost none. Hollywood movies will tell you the story of boom and fall without fail but games have the replay factor attached to them irrespective of their audience size that guarantees reward.
And this replay factor was cashed in next. We all can see the online capabilities being offered by games which as also paved way to players just buying the next powerup or update online. The concept of "buying all" is where we can point and say that gaming has devolved. So at a point where gaming was fun with added complexity like Baldur's Gate, Ys, Metal Gear Solid, the games went on to become more about commodity value.

My Last Year On Wall Street
"In my last year on Wall Street my bonus was $3.6 million -- and I was angry because it wasn 't big enough." This opening sentence really grabs the attention of the reader as Sam Polk tells his audience of one of the biggest social problems Americans face: money addiction. However this addiction is not discouraged the same as drugs or alcohol, rather society actively encourages it. Many people measure their success by comparing themselves to others' wealth. Thus, to be publicly successful, one must strive to earn wealth. However, just like other addictions, the addiction to wealth can be distracting; enough is just never enough. Sam Polk realizes, however, that money dose not fill the voids in one's life. He recognized that being a wealth addict working on Wall Street is like being an alcoholic working in a liquor store; there are too many temptations. Thus, Sam left his high-paying job and sought counseling and is a happier man today than when he was earning multi-million dollar bonuses. According to a functionalist perspective, all aspects of society are interdependent and contribute to society 's functioning as a whole. . Differences in wealth and power are justified by this perspective because these distinctions would motivate the most qualified to showcase their talents in the most fitting occupation. Thus, society becomes somewhat similar to a pyramid: the best are at the top, while the majority is at the bottom. In other words, it makes sense for Tim Cook, Apple's

Alexander Wynne observes that formless meditation and elemental meditation might have originated in the Upanishadic tradition.[93] The earliest reference to meditation is in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, one of the oldest Upanishads.[67] Chandogya Upanishad describes the five kinds of vital energies (prana). Concepts used later in many yoga traditions such as internal sound and veins (nadis) are also described in the Upanishad.[59] Taittiriya Upanishad defines yoga as the mastery of body and senses.[94]
According to Georg Feuerstein, Laya yoga (yoga of dissolution or merging) "makes meditative absorption (laya) its focus. The laya-yogin seeks to transcend all memory traces and sensory experiences by dissolving the microcosm, the mind, in the transcendental Self-Consciousness."[276] There are various forms and techniques of Laya yoga, including listening to the "inner sound" (nada), practicing various mudras like Khechari mudra and Shambhavi mudra as well as techniques meant to awaken a spiritual energy in the body (kundalini).[277]

According to Geoffrey Samuel, our "best evidence to date" suggests that yogic practices "developed in the same ascetic circles as the early śramaṇa movements (Buddhists, Jainas and Ajivikas), probably in around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE." This occurred during what is called the 'Second Urbanisation' period.[9] According to Mallinson and Singleton, these traditions were the first to use psychophysical techniques, mainly known as dhyana and tapas. but later described as yoga, to strive for the goal of liberation (moksha, nirvana) from samsara (the round of rebirth).[78]
In natural contests, the testing protocol ranges among organizations from lie detectors to urinalysis. Penalties also range from organization to organization from suspensions to strict bans from competition. It is also important to note that natural organizations also have their own list of banned substances and it is important to refer to each organization's website for more information about which substances are banned from competition. There are many natural bodybuilding organizations; some of the larger ones include: MuscleMania, Ultimate Fitness Events (UFE), INBF/WNBF, and INBA/PNBA. These organizations either have an American or worldwide presence and are not limited to the country in which they are headquartered.

Increases of acid in bloodstream (metabolic acidosis). If left untreated, metabolic acidosis can cause brittle or soft bones (osteoporosis, osteomalacia, osteopenia), kidney stones, can slow the rate of growth in children, and may possibly harm your baby if you are pregnant. Metabolic acidosis can happen with or without symptoms. Sometimes people with metabolic acidosis will: feel tired, not feel hungry (loss of appetite), feel changes in heartbeat, or have trouble thinking clearly. Your healthcare provider should do a blood test to measure the level of acid in your blood before and during your treatment with Qsymia.
Niyama (The five "observances"): Śauca (purity, clearness of mind, speech and body),[152] Santosha (contentment, acceptance of others and of one's circumstances),[153] Tapas (persistent meditation, perseverance, austerity),[154] Svādhyāya (study of self, self-reflection, study of Vedas),[155] and Ishvara-Pranidhana (contemplation of God/Supreme Being/True Self).[153]
Another text which teaches yoga with an Advaita point of view is the Yoga-Yājñavalkya.[262] This work contains extensive teachings on ten Yamas (ethical rules) and ten Niyamas (duties), and eight asanas. It also discusses a theory of nadis and prana (vital breath), and follows this with instructions on pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), meditation on mantras, meditative visualizations and Kundalini.
Just as there was a shift from viewing disease as a state to thinking of it as a process, the same shift happened in definitions of health. Again, the WHO played a leading role when it fostered the development of the health promotion movement in the 1980s. This brought in a new conception of health, not as a state, but in dynamic terms of resiliency, in other words, as "a resource for living". 1984 WHO revised the definition of health defined it as "the extent to which an individual or group is able to realize aspirations and satisfy needs and to change or cope with the environment. Health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living; it is a positive concept, emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities".[10] Thus, health referred to the ability to maintain homeostasis and recover from insults. Mental, intellectual, emotional and social health referred to a person's ability to handle stress, to acquire skills, to maintain relationships, all of which form resources for resiliency and independent living.[9] This opens up many possibilities for health to be taught, strengthened and learned.
Many teens suffer from mental health issues in response to the pressures of society and social problems they encounter. Some of the key mental health issues seen in teens are: depression, eating disorders, and drug abuse. There are many ways to prevent these health issues from occurring such as communicating well with a teen suffering from mental health issues. Mental health can be treated and be attentive to teens' behavior.[39]
Focusing more on lifestyle issues and their relationships with functional health, data from the Alameda County Study suggested that people can improve their health via exercise, enough sleep, maintaining a healthy body weight, limiting alcohol use, and avoiding smoking.[27] Health and illness can co-exist, as even people with multiple chronic diseases or terminal illnesses can consider themselves healthy.[28]
Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance exercise to control and develop one's musculature for aesthetic purposes.[1] An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. In competitive bodybuilding, bodybuilders appear in lineups and perform specified poses (and later individual posing routines) for a panel of judges who rank the competitors based on criteria such as symmetry, muscularity, and conditioning. Bodybuilders prepare for competitions through the elimination of nonessential body fat, enhanced at the last stage by a combination of extracellular dehydration and carbohydrate loading, to achieve maximum muscular definition and vascularity, as well as tanning to accentuate the contrast of the skin under the spotlights. Bodybuilders may use anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs to build muscles.
a technique for entering into other bodies, generating multiple bodies, and the attainment of other supernatural accomplishments; these are, states White, described in Tantric literature of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as the Buddhist Sāmaññaphalasutta;[41] James Mallinson, however, disagrees and suggests that such fringe practices are far removed from the mainstream Yoga's goal as meditation-driven means to liberation in Indian religions.[42]
Samuel states that Tantrism is a contested concept.[182] Tantra yoga may be described, according to Samuel, as practices in 9th to 10th century Buddhist and Hindu (Saiva, Shakti) texts, which included yogic practices with elaborate deity visualizations using geometrical arrays and drawings (mandala), fierce male and particularly female deities, transgressive life stage related rituals, extensive use of chakras and mantras, and sexual techniques, all aimed to help one's health, long life and liberation.[182][265]
The Yoga Sutras are also influenced by the Sramana traditions of Buddhism and Jainism, and may represent a further Brahmanical attempt to adopt yoga from the Sramana traditions.[129] As noted by Larson, there are numerous parallels in the concepts in ancient Samkhya, Yoga and Abhidharma Buddhist schools of thought, particularly from 2nd century BCE to 1st century AD.[139] Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is a synthesis of these three traditions. From Samkhya, the Yoga Sutras adopt the "reflective discernment" (adhyavasaya) of prakrti and purusa (dualism), its metaphysical rationalism, as well its three epistemic methods of gaining reliable knowledge.[139] From Abhidharma Buddhism's idea of nirodhasamadhi, suggests Larson, Yoga Sutras adopt the pursuit of altered state of awareness, but unlike Buddhism's concept of no self nor soul, Yoga is physicalist and realist like Samkhya in believing that each individual has a self and soul.[139] The third concept Yoga Sutras synthesize into its philosophy is the ancient ascetic traditions of meditation and introspection, as well as the yoga ideas from middle Upanishads such as Katha, Shvetashvatara and Maitri.[139]
The Maitrayaniya Upanishad, likely composed in a later century than Katha and Shvetashvatara Upanishads but before Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, mentions sixfold yoga method – breath control (pranayama), introspective withdrawal of senses (pratyahara), meditation (dhyana), mind concentration (dharana), philosophical inquiry/creative reasoning (tarka), and absorption/intense spiritual union (samadhi).[10][100][104]
The practice of awakening the coiled energy in the body is sometimes specifically called Kundalini yoga. It is based on Indian theories of the subtle body and uses various pranayamas (breath techniques) and mudras (bodily techniques) to awaken the energy known as kundalini (the coiled one) or shakti. In various Shaiva and Shakta traditions of yoga and tantra, yogic techniques or yuktis are used to unite kundalini-shakti, the divine conscious force or energy, with Shiva, universal consciousness.[278] A common way of teaching this method is to awaken the kundalini residing at the lowest chakra and to guide it through the central channel to unite with the absolute consciousness at the highest chakra (in the top of the head).[279]
^ On the dates of the Pali canon, Gregory Schopen writes, "We know, and have known for some time, that the Pali canon as we have it — and it is generally conceded to be our oldest source — cannot be taken back further than the last quarter of the first century BCE, the date of the Alu-vihara redaction, the earliest redaction we can have some knowledge of, and that — for a critical history — it can serve, at the very most, only as a source for the Buddhism of this period. But we also know that even this is problematic... In fact, it is not until the time of the commentaries of Buddhaghosa, Dhammapala, and others — that is to say, the fifth to sixth centuries CE — that we can know anything definite about the actual contents of [the Pali] canon."[92]
Bhakti yoga is a devotional form of yoga, usually associated with Theistic Hinduism. It is therefore focused on faith, love for and worship of a personal God, such as Shiva, Shakti or Krishna. It is taught in key works like the Bhagavad Gita as one of the forms of yoga, and became a major current of Hindu yoga in the second half of the 1st millenium CE, when it was promoted and celebrated by south Indian poet saints like the Alvars and Nayanars. Forms of Bhakti yoga include the singing of hymns, stories and songs (Kirtan), dancing, prayer, bowing, and performing puja rituals.
^ James Mallinson, "Sāktism and Hathayoga," 28 June 2012. Archived 16 June 2013 at the Wayback Machine [accessed 19 September 2013] pgs. 2 "The earliest references to hathayoga are scattered mentions in Buddhist canonical works and their exegesis dating from the eighth century onwards, in which it is the soteriological method of last resort."
^ "application or concentration of the thoughts, abstract contemplation, meditation , (esp.) self-concentration, abstract meditation and mental abstraction practised as a system (as taught by Patañjali and called the yoga philosophy; it is the second of the two sāṃkhya systems, its chief aim being to teach the means by which the human spirit may attain complete union with īśvara or the Supreme Spirit; in the practice of self-concentration it is closely connected with Buddhism". Monier-Williams, A Sanskrit Dictionary (1899)
The first Hindu teacher to actively advocate and disseminate aspects of yoga, not including asanas, to a western audience, Swami Vivekananda, toured Europe and the United States in the 1890s.[204] The reception which Swami Vivekananda received built on the active interest of intellectuals, in particular the New England Transcendentalists, among them Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), who drew on German Romanticism and philosophers and scholars like G. W. F. Hegel (1770–1831), the brothers August Wilhelm Schlegel (1767–1845) and Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel (1772–1829), Max Mueller (1823–1900), Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860), and others who had (to varying degrees) interests in things Indian.[205][206]
The earliest extant systematic account of yoga and a bridge from the earlier Vedic uses of the term is found in the Hindu Katha Upanisad (Ku), a scripture dating from about the third century BCE[…] [I]t describes the hierarchy of mind-body constituents—the senses, mind, intellect, etc.—that comprise the foundational categories of Sāmkhya philosophy, whose metaphysical system grounds the yoga of the Yogasutras, Bhagavad Gita, and other texts and schools (Ku3.10–11; 6.7–8).[101]
The environment is often cited as an important factor influencing the health status of individuals. This includes characteristics of the natural environment, the built environment and the social environment. Factors such as clean water and air, adequate housing, and safe communities and roads all have been found to contribute to good health, especially to the health of infants and children.[18][29] Some studies have shown that a lack of neighborhood recreational spaces including natural environment leads to lower levels of personal satisfaction and higher levels of obesity, linked to lower overall health and well being.[30] This suggests that the positive health benefits of natural space in urban neighborhoods should be taken into account in public policy and land use.
The meaning of health has evolved over time. In keeping with the biomedical perspective, early definitions of health focused on the theme of the body's ability to function; health was seen as a state of normal function that could be disrupted from time to time by disease. An example of such a definition of health is: "a state characterized by anatomic, physiologic, and psychological integrity; ability to perform personally valued family, work, and community roles; ability to deal with physical, biological, psychological, and social stress".[7] Then in 1948, in a radical departure from previous definitions, the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed a definition that aimed higher: linking health to well-being, in terms of "physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity".[8] Although this definition was welcomed by some as being innovative, it was also criticized as being vague, excessively broad and was not construed as measurable. For a long time, it was set aside as an impractical ideal and most discussions of health returned to the practicality of the biomedical model.[9]
The origins of yoga are a matter of debate.[44] There is no consensus on its chronology or specific origin other than that yoga developed in ancient India. Suggested origins are the Indus Valley Civilization (3300–1900 BCE)[45] and pre-Vedic Eastern states of India,[46] the Vedic period (1500–500 BCE), and the śramaṇa movement.[47] According to Gavin Flood, continuities may exist between those various traditions:
^ Gavin Flood: "These renouncer traditions offered a new vision of the human condition which became incorporated, to some degree, into the worldview of the Brahman householder. The ideology of asceticism and renunciation seems, at first, discontinuous with the brahmanical ideology of the affirmation of social obligations and the performance of public and domestic rituals. Indeed, there has been some debate as to whether asceticism and its ideas of retributive action, reincarnation and spiritual liberation, might not have originated outside the orthodox vedic sphere, or even outside Aryan culture: that a divergent historical origin might account for the apparent contradiction within 'Hinduism' between the world affirmation of the householder and the world negation of the renouncer. However, this dichotomization is too simplistic, for continuities can undoubtedly be found between renunciation and vedic Brahmanism, while elements from non-Brahmanical, Sramana traditions also played an important part in the formation of the renunciate ideal. Indeed there are continuities between vedic Brahmanism and Buddhism, and it has been argued that the Buddha sought to return to the ideals of a vedic society which he saw as being eroded in his own day."[49]
The maintenance and promotion of health is achieved through different combination of physical, mental, and social well-being, together sometimes referred to as the "health triangle."[24][25] The WHO's 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion further stated that health is not just a state, but also "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities."[26] https://www.pinterest.com/buzzingoffer/

Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related death, responsible for roughly one third of all cancer fatalities. Tobacco smoking is the major cause of lung cancer. Consequently, one of the most effective ways to decrease lung cancer mortality is to decrease tobacco use. In addition, close monitoring of individuals who continue to smoke may permit early detection of lung cancer.
The multidisciplinary lung cancer program at Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine focuses on the development of innovative approaches for the early detection and intervention of lung cancer. In addition, the program studies new strategies for the treatment of advanced disease, emphasizing the integration of new molecular therapies in the existing modalities - surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Most patients diagnosed with lung cancer at Montefiore Medical Center are referred for a second opinion from other Centers. Patients' diagnoses are reviewed at a weekly multidisciplinary conference at the Weiler campus. A team of pathologists, pulmonologists, radiologists, thoracic surgeons, and medical oncologists discuss the findings and recommend a treatment plan. Innovative clinical research protocols that utilize the latest and most promising agents alone or in combination are offered to appropriate patients. Dr. Steven Keller, chief of the Division of Thoracic Surgical Oncology, coordinates the conference.
Spiral CT of the chest is more sensitive than a regular chest-X ray in detecting lung cancer, at a time when the cure rate may be as high as 90%. Montefiore Medical Center is establishing a collaboration with Weil/Cornell Medical College to screen individuals at risk of lung cancer because of a significant past smoking history. These studies will be expanded in the future to include patients who have had previous head and neck cancer, another cancer directly related to tobacco smoking.
Researchers at Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine are actively working on studying early genetic damage to the lungs in youths with a <5 years smoking history. The objective of this study is to select young people who demonstrate a greater probability of developing lung cancer later in their lives. These individuals may then be offered early and intensive preventive and therapeutic interventions that include smoking cessation and the use of agents given by inhalation that directly go to the areas damaged by tobacco.
The Lung Cancer Program at Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is testing innovative treatments for lung cancer and pre-malignant conditions by targeting specific molecular abnormalities within the tumors. Dr. Perez-Soler, chairman of the Department of Oncology and other clinicians at Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have pioneered the clinical development of many of these agents. They are currently investigating their use in a variety of stages of lung cancer, either using the new agents alone or in combination with more traditional treatment modalities. Emphasis is placed on the development of signal transduction inhibitors that block the growth of tumor cells. Some of these compounds have shown very promising antitumor activity in studies conducted by Montefiore Medical Center clinical investigators.
The new compound Tarceva, an EGFR inhibitor, is one such agent. It will be given in combination with chemotherapy prior to surgical removal of the tumor. Iressa is a similar drug being given to patients with very advanced disease, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy. Another completely new agent being investigated in patients with advanced disease is the compound PS341. This drug prevents the cell from disposing of old and useless proteins, thus causing cell death.
Patients are referred back to their referring physicians' offices after completing the program.

No More Supply Chains? Another Procurement Term Bites the Dust
December 21, 2016 Procurious HQ
With the advent of the supply ecosystem, the concept of the linear chains is outdated and misleading. Perhaps it's time to let this term disappear.
Introducing Watson Supply Chain from IBM. Get to know Watson here.
The thing about chains is that they're linear.
No matter how complex they might be, supply chains are sequential by definition. They stretch from one geographical point to another, each link representing one of many upstream or downstream businesses that make up the whole.
But in a hyper-connected, interdependent world, the concept of the chain no longer does justice to the complexity of a supply manager's role. Any attempt to map out a modern international supplier network will end up looking more like a cluster diagram, or a series of cogs and gears.
Or, to take an analogy from the natural world, a "supply ecosystem".
Supply Ecosystems versus Supply Chains
To unpack some of the key differences (and similarities) between ecosystems and chains, let's examine some key terms.
Interdependency
While a single link in a supply chain is only directly connected with its two immediate neighbours, each part of an ecosystem relies upon every other. This has been referred to as "super-connectivity" or "hyper-cooperation". This comes with enormous benefits in terms of visibility, data collection and knowledge transfer.
Rather than having a single purchasing organisation sitting at the top of a supply chain, a supply ecosystem may involve a network of competing business with shared challenges. Collectively, they create and nurture a sourcing base that will benefit their individual businesses and the ecosystem as a whole.
Fragility and resilience
When a link in your linear supply chain snaps, the whole structure is at risk of collapse. A supply ecosystem is similarly fragile, as each component has its own important part to play. However, the difference is that the entire extended stakeholder network can work together to rapidly replace any missing part.
While organisations are eager to unlock potential innovation among their suppliers, they are often frustrated by a lack of visibility beyond the first-tier, or the neighbouring link in the chain.
Within the super-connected ecosystem, there is an increased flow of data, and better exchange of skills and knowledge. This means shared challenges are more likely to be solved through crowdsourcing among the entire network's talent pool.
Again, problems will be tackled and solved with the conviction that what is good for the overall ecosystem will also benefit every member therein.
IBM Watson Gets It
IBM Watson helps supply professionals illuminate risks and opportunities to make better decisions through a proactive, predictive and innovation supply network.
The cognitive procurement technology leverages the entire ecosystem rather than the usual first-tier suppliers. This enables collaboration across every supplier organisation in your network to identify gaps, share capability and mitigate risks before they become obstructions.
The Supply Management Lexicon is Changing
The procurement and supply management profession is changing rapidly, and the language we use is changing with it. In 2016 alone we've gone so far as to declare obsolete three frequently used terms in procurement:
the Pareto Principle (or the 80-20 rule),
"soft" skills, and now,
"supply chains".
Do you agree that these terms have passed their use-by date? What other frequently-used supply management terms are also likely to disappear within the next decade? Leave a comment below!
Procurement exists in an ever-changing environment. Keeping up to date, even with terminology and concepts, can be a struggle. However, technology, like Watson Supply Chain, can help by making information available wherever we are. Find out more here.

Throwback Thursday – Procurement's Greatest Ambassador?
September 1, 2016 Procurious HQ
If we're to change the image of procurement, we need a figurehead to point to. Could Apple CEO, Tim Cook, be the ambassador the profession needs?
One of the key goals of Procurious is to improve the image of our profession. We are the brown cardigan brigade no longer (unless it's a snazzy, modern cardigan!). The latest generation of procurement pros are highly intelligent, motivated, and tech-savvy.
However, to help push the image change along, procurement needs a figurehead. A high profile ambassador for the profession, who highlights just how far you can go. And Apple's current CEO, Tim Cook, could be that ambassador we need.
We take a look back at an article from last year, highlighting Cook's journey to the top.
Procurement's Greatest Ambassador?
It's fair to say procurement has received a bad rap over the years. We've been dubbed corporate policemen, paper pushers, roadblocks, as well as a raft of other unflattering names we dare not mention.
Thankfully, due to the innovation and hard graft of procurement professionals, the function is shedding this negative image and starting to become recognised as an integral part of any successful business.
Perhaps the greatest exemplar of procurement's ascendancy to date is Apple CEO Tim Cook.
In 1998, Tim was the vice president of Corporate Materials for the Compaq computer company. The role saw him hold responsibility for the organisation's procurement and inventory operations.
Despite having no real intentions of leaving this role, the enigmatic Steve Jobs managed to convince Cook to take on a role at Apple (pre iMac, iPod, iPad, and iPhone).
Stellar Performance
Tim's performance at Apple was stellar, particularly from a procurement point of view. In his authorised autobiography of Steve Jobs, Walter Issacson described Cook's methodical approach to supplier rationalisation and inventory management.
"Cook reduced the number of Apple's key suppliers from a hundred to twenty-four, forced them to cut better deals to keep the business, convinced many to locate next to Apple's plants, and closed ten of the company's nineteen warehouses.
"By reducing the places where inventory could pile up, he reduced inventory. Jobs had cut inventory from two months' worth of product down to one by early 1998. By September of that year, Cook had gotten it to six days. By the following September, it was down to an amazing two days' worth.
"In addition, he cut the production process for making an Apple computer from four months to two. All of this not only saved money, it also allowed each new computer to have the very latest components available."
The procurement and supply chain decisions made by Cook highlight the critical importance of procurement to Apple's success. The strength of the company (and arguably its competitive advantage) has been in building and managing a complex network of suppliers.
The company has then successfully leveraged this network to produce ground-breaking technology products. Put simply, without the supply network, there is no product.
Recommendation From The Top
Cook's performance in Apple's supply chain clearly caught the attention of Steve Jobs, who gave the follow recommendation of Cook during his departure from the firm.
Jobs stated, "I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple."
The promotion of Cook to CEO shows that the board of Apple understands the critical importance of external suppliers as a source of innovation for the company. Apple clearly sees the procurement function as the conduit to successfully managing these relationships and ensuring the future success of the business.
Apple is the world's most valuable brand. It has undergone a remarkably successful business transformation, and has produced products that have changed the way we interact with each other and the world around us.
With so much of this success being attributed to great procurement practices, could there really be a stronger endorsement for our profession?
"Tim Cook came out of procurement which is just the right background for what we needed." – Steve Jobs

Contract Lifecycle Management: Stop Being Foxed by Your Suppliers
Daniel Ball, Director at Wax Digital, explains how organisations can minimise supply chain risk through effective contract lifecycle management.
Today's businesses are increasingly reliant on global, multi-tiered supply chains. While they can contain the essential ingredients for competitive advantage, cost efficiency and innovation, supply chain complexity also contributes to greater supply chain risk.
Consequently, contract lifecycle management (CLM) has become progressively crucial to organisations as they attempt to keep track of suppliers and their sub-contractors. Analyst group Gartner claims that no organisation is immune to the complexities of today's contracts, or the pace at which businesses operate in the global economy.
Regardless of the sector you operate in, for anyone with a growing and increasingly complex supply chain, CLM has become a critical business process.
Mitigating Supplier Risk
You don't need to search very hard to find examples of organisations whose complex supply chains have caused them significant issues, affecting both their reputation and bottom-line. Tesco's infamous horse meat scandal is a classic example of how uncontracted and unvetted suppliers can become part of your supply chain and cause unforeseen damage.
The store was left at the mercy of the public and the media for months after the scandal broke causing huge reputational damage and financial loss to the organisation. Unfortunately for Tesco, the complexities of its supply chain meant that visibility was restricted, and it was unaware that one of its suppliers was sub-contracting work to an unknown and unvetted supplier.
Supplier risk can raise its head in many forms. The importance of ensuring all your suppliers have the necessary certifications required to work with your organisation shouldn't be understated.
It's irrelevant whether they are supplying food, people, commodities, electronics, or complex mechanical parts. Take the construction sector as an example. A building company's supply chain manager will diligently vet all contractors required onsite to ensure they have the necessary health and safety certificates and public liability insurance details in place, as part of the supplier on boarding process.
But when pressed could they honestly claim to know when each of these certifications is due to expire, and that when that contractor is next onsite, his certifications are all still in date? If the answer to these questions is no, then an organisation could find itself in a very vulnerable position if an accident occurs, and the contractor's health and safety certifications have expired.
Contract Lifecycle Management & Legal Compliance
What's more, new sentencing guidelines have been introduced to create a more consistent and proportionate approach to sentencing for those individuals or businesses convicted of health and safety, food hygiene offences or corporate manslaughter. These new guidelines mean that all organisations should be looking to assess risk, both internally and across their entire supply chain, to ensure standards are maintained at all times.
Legal compliance with legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley or ISO standards can also be monitored as part of CLM. The healthcare, financial services and manufacturing sectors are all subject to compliance demands. Stiff penalties can be applied if an organisation is found to be non-compliant.
Contract Management Databases
Contract management databases play an essential role in ensuring organisations know exactly when their suppliers' contracts are up for renewal. No-one wants a contract which is no longer valid for your current business needs to roll over for yet another year. As important as that is, arguably the main benefit contract management offers is complete visibility of supplier performance and compliance.
Moving all contracts to a secure, electronic contract management database enables an organisation to practice effective contract lifecycle management and keep a firm eye on its entire supply base – both direct and indirect.
A contract management database that hosts all of an organisation's contracts, and details on the criteria (certifications, regulatory requirements and SLAs) that its suppliers are contractually obliged to meet, enables organisations to quickly identify specific types of supplier able to compliantly fulfil a project.
It also allows organisation to identify their business-critical suppliers, and ensure their necessary certifications are in place and that any KPIs agreed at the start of the contract are being met. Some systems can even offer visibility into tier two suppliers. This is extremely beneficial if your supply chain is becoming increasingly complex, and can help identify who your critical suppliers are sub-contracting to.
Visibility at Your Fingertips
The benefits delivered by CLM are undeniable as it becomes increasingly important that organisations ensure that their compliance procedures are in place. Contracts filed away, stuffed in drawers or indexed on a spreadsheet can't issue an alert if they're about to expire. Nor does it make life very easy if you're looking to identify which of your suppliers has the right credentials in place to fulfil a certain role.
Storing all suppliers' contracts in a secure, manageable database, that is quick and easy to access, ensures that you have supply chain visibility at all times. Should the time arrive when you need evidence to defend your organisation, or pinpoint the cracks in your supply chain, you'll certainly be glad to have this level of visibility at your fingertips.

Sleeping Fools Should Awake to Woke
by Walter Krinkel (July 2021)
Gigantic World Folly, Hannah Höch, 1919
The Left, smugly attitudinising in enclaves, such as the People's Republic of Islington or the supposed groves of academe as provided by sociology and philosophy departments, once saw Class Conflict as the means of achieving power, according to the tenets of Marx und Gesellschaft, and therefore myopically and uncritically admired such paradises as the Soviet Union, Mao's China, Castro's Cuba, the malodorous ship run by Pol Pot, and sundry régimes where 'the people' ruled, e.g. the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Roumania, etc. Mass-murders, Gulags, 'purges,' show-trials, etc. were all silently accepted as 'necessary' in 'progressive' circles, oblivious to the fact that disagreeable thugs were in charge in all those places, and 'the people' counted for nothing. I can recall travelling in the Communist bloc, where restaurants had huge menus, but everything was off, and all the reasonable seats were occupied by grim Party men, stuffing themselves with what ever they wanted.
It eventually dawned on the Champagne revolutionaries with tenure in the media and in academe, etc., that working-class revolutions might not actually happen in the West, where standards of living had improved and where there were large populations of middle classes (the derided bourgeoisie, to which upwardly-mobile working classes aspired, much to the disgust of the Pinkoes) hardly likely to join in a general bloodbath.
But much has changed. Old, traditional heavy industries such as coal-mining, steel-manufacturing, heavy engineering, etc., have been largely abandoned in the West, leaving not only terrible problems of environmental dereliction, but vast numbers of deprived areas, with no hope for the future. We now see the results, when there are second- or even third-generation unemployed, even unemployables, and that is a profoundly dangerous situation, when a large, mostly white, underclass perceives itself as abandoned, no longer counting for anything. Certainly, the present British 'Labour' Party, stuffed as it is with people with degrees (many of little value), does not represent them in any way.
Seeing that Marxist economic dialectics featuring Capitalists and Workers might be starting to have limited attractions for an electorate, the Leftists turned their attention elsewhere, notably in the 1960s, when tradition and custom became targets, as was clearly the case during the riots of 1968 in France, hailed by the Left as a 'Time of Liberation,' when Classical casts in schools of art and academies were smashed or thrown out, and 'Modernism' was embraced, from which no deviation became possible. The question, 'Liberation from What?' was never asked, but what happened was catastrophically destructive, and led to uglification on a massive scale. The perpetrators were not ground-down workers and poverty-stricken rural peasants, but spoiled middle-class brats who had never known real poverty, danger, or deprivation, a post-war generation that had been cared for, coddled, and had its collective arse wiped for it by the State.
Across the Pond, the question of race was a major issue, and during the 1960s the Civil Rights campaigns for freedom and equality under the law of the land seemed to suggest that Americans had decided to enshrine improvements by law rather than face violent upheavals. The Radical Left, however, began to put things together, and something new and menacing began to evolve: it is called Critical Race Theory, and over the last quarter of a century or so has begun to be the dominant ideology in virtually every institution, especially universities, from which, in innumerable 'academic journals,' the virus has been spread, unnoticed generally at first except by those of us capable of recognising Derrida-inspired drivel as the agency of destruction it actually is.
From the cess-pits of academe and the 'human-resources' departments of countless organisations pour the weasel-words that warn of what is coming: they include 'equity,' 'diversity,' 'inclusion,' 'cultural responsiveness,' and there are many others, but what is clear is that the former noisy supporters of the likes of Pol Pot and his charmers have now hooked on to race as the means to achieve power. The 'equity' they love to spout has bugger-all to to with equality, but is actually concerned with the seizure of land, savings, and property, redistributing them on racial lines, which, of course, would by-pass the white former working class entirely, leaving it even worse off than before. Proponents of such 'equity' demand powers to ignore or abolish any law of which they disapprove, and silence anyone not seen to be noisily on the anti-racist tumbril. The aim, of course, is to overthrow Capitalism, grab all savings, property, land, and assets, and, through racial identity, enforce the aims of Marxism by means the old German scribbler could never have forseen. So private property, the rights of individuals, freedom of speech and expression, and balanced law would all be jettisoned, to be replaced by redistribution of all wealth on very dodgy precepts, 'positive discrimination' at all levels, the 'cleansing' of all libraries and museums, and the establishment of an all-powerful politburo of totalitarians with shut minds, hate-filled hearts, and massively destructive agenda in their programmes, all very far-removed from what the Founding Fathers of America had in mind, or what was achieved in other Western democracies over the centuries.
The programmes are already well under way. All whites are 'racists,' according to the theorists, and have been conditioned to occupy 'oppressor rôles.' Re-education is now demanded (i.e. indoctrination) regarding race, and it has already spread to gender. To be a white male is rapidly to become a pariah, discriminated against in the job-market, and ordered to deconstruct both racial and sexual identity. It goes on, and, like all totalitarian movements, it will succeed through instilling fear and using violence, unless it is resisted, and to resist is to ask for trouble. Social media are used to bully and oppress, to frighten, to damn. The well-staffed and paid 'equity' and 'inclusion' departments that have recently been established in American institutions are in fact a witch-finding Inquisition, hunting out dissenters and all who do not conform to what is now a prevailing orthodoxy. Anyone who sees dangers in all this, or who disagrees with the stuff peddled concerning race and gender, is accused of feeling guilt, of demonstrating bias (concious or unconscious, usually the latter), and of internalising endemic white supremacy. The terrifying silence of those who should be refuting this dangerously ludicrous crap is deafening: we have here the making of an extremely nasty totalitarian state, worse than anything with which Orwell could have come up.
Any plague which happens to break out in America does not take long to arrive here, so obsessed are some commentators about the so-called 'special relationship,' which only exists in their deluded minds. Soon we will have an even more disaffected unemployed white underclass, ignored by these barmy theorists (and by politicians as well, anxious to virtue-signal for all they are worth), which will lead to a very dangerous situation, as eventually even those apathetic groups will be mobilised into reaction. We must have the guts to stand up to the bullies: they and their attitudes are absurd, but they are dangerous and mad, and they are supported by useful idiots, such as supposed 'leaders' in the Churches (who are deserving only of our utter contempt), mendacious duds (who comprise our visionless, unimaginative, dishonest, dissembling politicians), overpaid vice-chancellors (many of whom have disgraced their offices), and chief executives (none of whom is worth the candle).
Wake up to Woke before it is far too late!
Some members of Walter Krinkel's family were murdered under National Socialism, and others were 'liquidated' under Communism, so he is more than leery of certain tendencies he regards as dangerous. He has also experienced the catastrophic lowering of standards in academe and the 'professions': he holds that the 'world-class education' about which politicians and 'educators' boast is actually a huge con, and that anyone who swallows that stuff is either a fool or a toady.

When our two older sister's had vacated the nest to marry their high school sweethearts, Bud was still at home in high school, then there was Viv and I bringing up the rear in grade school — in the low grades. We had a lot more room with the two gone, but there was an old upright piano taking up one wall of the living room so Mom decided if it was going to be sitting there, it may as well be used. It was Sis's piano, and she was 15 years older than I. Her Granny Thomas had given her the piano when she was a little girl. Granny Thomas was Mom's first mother-in-law, she was also Aunt Mae's mother, and Sis would entertain the family with her singing away to her own accompaniment. During the 1920's the music belonged to the flapper era with the cloche hats, and dancing the Charleston. So when she left home, there was no more tinkling the ivories.
All was not lost with the piano lessons. At least I learned how to read music, and then one day Aunt Mae took me off to a music store where she bought me a nice, shiny trumpet that I ended up sleeping with many a night. After a few nights, it stayed in the case — more comfortable. I took a few lessons, also joined in the music class where I learned more. I don't think I was very popular around the house when I was practicing, blowing that horn — they wanted me in the bedroom with door closed, and wishing the room was sound-proofed. They probably wanted me in the next County if the truth be known. I thought I was doing great.
And you know what? Some guy by the name of Mr. Chapman blew in to town in an odd-looking bus, and his gig was having a bunch of kids with their band instruments gather together and he would make us into a marching band. There were tryouts, my trumpet stood at attention, I blew, and made the "team". Chapman had been doing this for several years. I guess he would have a group so long until he was tired of that gang, move on to another area, then the same old story. We were called CHAPMAN'S MARCHING BAND, and we went all over Southern California wherever there was a parade. Lots of towns had a parade every year: Glendora, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Huntington Park to name a few but but somehow we never made it to Pasadena on January First. The band had about 30 members, and we were all from FullertonUnionHigh School. There were a couple of other girls in the band, Bobby Jo played the flute, and Ella Mae played that metal triangle thing.
We had uniforms. The corduroy striped jacket was predominately blue stripes merging to a lighter blue, then to bluish gray. Hey, they were mighty good-looking. The boys wore white pants, and the girls were in white skirts. Everyone had one of those caps like the military one that folds flat, then you spread it open to plop on your head. It was not a beret. I would know what they are called if Aunt Mae and my Mom had let me join the Navy.
Chapman's bus was quite a novelty. It was medium size, designed like one of those teardrop aluminum siding vacation trailers. Driver up front (so he could see where to go,) then 30 passenger seats for that great band, then the engine was in the rear where the bus came to a pointed tail. Band instruments were stowed in compartments on the outside under the passenger area. Mr. Chapman had a driver, then he would sit in passenger area where he could keep an eye on us and the bus would remain all in one piece when we reached our destination. You can just imagine a bunch of teenagers in the 1930's cooped up in a bus for an hour or so.
While we were out trudging along on the parade route, the Driver would stay with our tear-drop transportation because it was so unique that the parade goers probably spent most of the time looking at the bus and crowding around it. The Driver had to keep the looky-loos far enough away so there would be no dents made in that aluminum siding.
Now it is no easy task to march in a parade. Even after practicing hour after hour, keeping the lines straight, using the right foot at the right time, playing the tune that everyone else was playing and being in the right key. Yes, indeed it was no easy task to march along playing my little heart out at the top of my lungs, I also had to keep a corner of one eye on the street, and what might be on it. No way did I want to get any of that horse doo-doo on my nice old comfortable Buster Brown oxfords!
We did that for a couple of seasons, and then just like he blew into town, Mr. Chapman blew out. He was sick and tired of us, and we had all gotten sick and tired of all those many miles of parade routes. He would be out looking for another band, while our band would sit back in the comfort of chairs continuing to play in the school orchestra. No more marching, and no more John Philip Sousa.
I never did make it to First Trumpet. My classmate, Harry, played trumpet and his Dad was the Music Director — need I say more? At least I had a lock on Second Trumpet — but that was not good for my psyche, and that's when I made the decision to change my career from playing trumpet to playing softball.
I'm happy that you finally got to play that trumpet. I'll bet you were great. I know what you mean about playing in a marching band. I did too, for a few years, playing my alto sax. It was not easy; but it is an interesting memory.

Burgum completes bill signings, uses vetoes to cut spending and protect executive branch authority
BISMARCK, N.D. (May 3, 2017) – Gov. Doug Burgum has signed the remaining bills from the recently adjourned 2017 legislative session, exercising his veto authority on nine additional bills to reduce spending and protect executive branch authority and the flexibility needed to reinvent government.
"We deeply appreciate the Legislature's good work this session, evidenced by the fact I signed 430 bills with no line-item vetoes, including 43 appropriations bills," Burgum said. "Where I did exercise veto authority, I did so to clearly delineate between executive and legislative powers and to prioritize spending at a time when fiscal restraint is essential."
The Legislature adjourned sine die last Thursday. Burgum had 15 business days to sign bills delivered to the governor's office within the last three days of session.
The governor signed a total of 440 bills, including 10 appropriations bills that contained a partial line-item veto. Three bills were vetoed in their entirety.
"The state's balance sheet is strong, and even with reduced budgets, every state agency has the opportunity going forward to focus on innovation and doing more with less. With budgets set, we're enthusiastic about reinventing state government to become more efficient and responsive to taxpayers," Burgum said.
Copies of the governor's veto messages to the Legislature are attached.
