Travel Destination – Buffalo Bill Ranch Historical Park, Nebraska – N.A. Rubin

The park features the home and ranch of the famed showman scout William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, Buffalo Bill Ranch at North Platte that recaptures the life and career of the famed Pony Express rider, Army scout and buffalo hunter turned showman through artifacts and written documents

William Frederick Cody (1846-1917), American hero, was his real name, but before his interesting life was over everyone knew him as ‘Buffalo Bill’. He was one of the most colorful characters of the Old West that is recorded in the Hall of Fame.

Cody was born in Iowa, but in his early years his family moved to the State of Kansas moving into a large log cabin on land that they had staked there. Later, through contacts, at the age of fourteen, Cody became a rider for the Pony Express riding hard the trails to deliver the US mail. Cody got his nickname because of his work as a buffalo hunter for the railroad building the first transcontinental railroad. Buffalo Bill, as he was called at that period, claim to have killed 4,2890 buffalo in on eighteen month period. (Despite his image as a rough-hewn outdoorsman, Buffalo Bill pushed for the rights of the Native Americans. In addition, despite his history of killing bison, he even supported their conservation by speaking out against hide-hunting and pushing for a hunting season

He served as an army scout in various campaigns against the Native Americans during the next four years. For a while, Buffalo Bill toured eastern cities as an actor in a play about scouts of the Wild West, but his performances didn’t draw in the audiences so he returned a bit older and wiser in 1876 to scouting, a work he was cut out. A series of popular books were written about his adventures; they were among the first ‘dime novels.

Buffalo Bill hankered to return back to show business and in 1883 he formed his own group, the famous ‘Wild West Show’, which appealed to the audiences in the Eastern cities of the USA. It was an immense success, featuring amongst the cowboys and Indians in a Wild West display, Annie Oakley, a woman sharpshooter, and the famous Indian Chief Sitting Bull. The show traveled to all the Eastern Coast and crossed the Atlantic to thrill audiences in European cities. Audiences were thrilled by demonstrations of trick riding, sharp shooting, and fake Indian battles with plenty of whoops and simulated scalping. But the main attraction was Buffalo Bill who was always the center of attraction in the performances. His beard, white hat, and fringed leather jacket became symbols of the western frontier of the United States during that period of history.

To understand life of the man called ‘Buffalo Bill’ one should visit the home of famed showman and buffalo hunter north at La Platte, Nebraska. The house was built during the Cody’s profitable venture, the Wild West Show, and money was not spared by him in its construction and furnishing and of maintaining the surrounding ranch. The park encompasses twenty-five acres of the of the original 4,00 acres that Cody owned; Buffalo Bill’s Ranch, known as Scout’s Rest, became a state historical park in 1965. Since then, the house and barn have been restored and a wealth of Cody memorabilia has been acquired and placed on display. ‘http://www.ngpc.state.ne.us/parks/guides/parksearch/showpark.asp’

Acid reflux is medically referred to as Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). As the name indicates, this is characterized by the reflux of stomach acids into the esophagus. It is a very common problem and many of us would have surely faced the symptoms of acid reflux. Symptoms of acid reflux disease are heartburn, chest pain, regurgitation of food into the mouth etc. Often the burning sensation or the heartburn gets so worse, that it seems to be a heart attack. Occasional symptoms appear because of eating of spicy foods or indigestion. But if these occur 2-3 times a week, then it surely indicates that there is something wrong with the digestive system.

The most common trend that people follow is to pop up an antacid. Though there is nothing wrong in doing, and it certainly gives instant relief, but for how long?

Acid reflux is an internal digestive system disorder where the lower esophageal sphincter valve opens up under acidic pressure, causing the undigested food and acid to be thrown back into the food pipe, causing an irritable burning sensation in the throat area. This internal problem can be permanently treated only by surgery but in 95% of the cases, lifestyle changes and medications give substantial relief. Surgery is done in very rare conditions.

Acid Reflux Medicine and You

There are N numbers of reasons that can cause acid reflux problem. Some of these being wrong food habits, hiatal hernia, pregnancy, obesity, undeveloped sphincter valve as in case of infants, etc. Among all the above mentioned reasons, the most commonly seen is wrong food habits.

To eliminate the reason of wrong eating habits, one needs to follow an active lifestyle and develop a menu plan that needs to be followed religiously. By observing the symptoms and reaction of your body towards various food products, one may be able to judge which foods to be included and which to be eliminated. Though the guidelines that are compulsory for every acid reflux diet include, avoiding rich and spicy food, food cooked in excess oil or fat and excess carbohydrates.

In cases where lifestyle changes have little or no effect whatsoever on acid reflux problems, these can be combined with medications. Medicines for acid reflux can vary from over the counter medications to prescription medicines.

Nowadays, even some prescription medications are available in lower strength as over the counter medicines. However, it is always better to consult a physician before administering any drug for acid reflux relief.

Alternative approaches to treat Acid Reflux

One of the alternative approaches mentioned above is making lifestyle changes. The other approaches are avoiding bed at least 2-3 hours after meals, keeping the headboard of your bed inclined by around 30 degrees, sleeping sideways etc. Then there are herbal and homeopathic medications that seem to be side effect free and are considerably effective in treating acid reflux problems.

Though the alternative medications work quite well, but chronic acid reflux can best be treated using prescription medications suggested by doctor. The doctor may take some time to decide on the most effective medication for you before advising you for tests such as endoscopies, barium X-Rays etc.

Acid Reflux Medications and how they work

A good number of antacids are available over the counter and these provide instant relief from acid reflux by stopping the burning sensation or heartburn. But regular use of antacids is not recommended. Mylanta, Gelusil are the most popularly used antacids. Then there is a group of medication known as H2 Block Receptors. These are not so fast in action as the antacids, but they work by reducing the amount of acid being produced by the stomach. Ranitidine, Famotidine, Cimetidine are some mediations belonging to this group.

Apart from these, there is yet another group of mediation which is known as the proton pump inhibitors which work by actually promoting the healing of the esophageal lining, caused by constant acid attack. Nexium, Prilosec are some drugs under this category.

Though, there are a number of medications that can be taken for relief from acid reflux, these are recommended for short term use. Each of these medications comes with its own set of side effects, most of which are upset stomach, diarrhea, vomiting etc. The symptoms however, subside after a few days use. In cases where there can be prolonged trouble, the physician should be consulted.

Final Word about Medications

Medications are prescribed for relief from acid reflux problems. But it is to be kept in mind that lifestyle changes are a must and it cannot be compromised or neglected just because one is taking medications. Acid reflux, if chronic can cause a severe damage to the esophagus lining and can give rise to cancers of the esophagus. Medications should be judiciously used after consultation with a physician and in proper dosages.

Watching professional athletes playing in teams is one of the major forms of entertainment in United States. One of the most loved sports is the American Football. Every American waits for the day until the Super Bowl happens. This championship game is the most awaited program aired on different sports channels. At this time, America would not want to blink their eyes as both teams gear their way to the end zone.

As much as we are entertained watching the game, we sometimes ask ourselves, how did they ever make those plays possible? We see players credited at all times for their performance on the field. However, we also have to credit their coaches as they play an important factor in their performance.

A coach is there to guide the team and help them work as one. He sees through the individual capacities of the players and hones them through training. He looks at their skills and abilities and decides which position they will play. He designs the different plays and hand signals that players can use in the field so that the opposing team cannot read them. A coach is like the father of the team, unbiased and disciplined.

The perfect coach does not need to lead the team to a perfect season. Although Don Francis Shula of the Miami Dolphins, made it possible way back in the 1972, the best one can only but help the team think to give their best and find all means and plays to win the game fair and square. Although Shula is now one of the best coaches ever existed in NFL, there are also other coaches that people consider the best all-time coaches. Among them are:

1. Tom Landry- NFL considered him as one of the best coaches existed in their history. He once worked as the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys. One of his greatest accomplishments is the invention of 4-3 defense that is now one of the most popular base defenses of various teams.

2. Vince Lombardi- He is the former head coach of the Green Bay Packers. This man is a genius as he led the team to win 2 Super Bowls. He was the man who quoted inspirational speeches.

”After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are: the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live”. – Vince Lombardi

3. Paul Brown- He was known as the father of the modern offense. He had led the Cleveland Browns to Super Bowl Championships. He had produced good players that became best coaches like Don Shula of the Miami Dolphins, as well as Bill Walsh, who is also named as one of the best NFL coaches in http://forbes.com.
