I attended alone, whereas I seen others coupled there was a large turnout I would say a hundred or people attended the event. My initial reaction upon arriving was did I make the correct choice in choosing this exhibition, Augusta has so many Museums and I didn’t realize it until I started passing back them as I was headed to the Museum of History, I ask myself which cultural event do I want to attend, will this exhibition that I’m attending be interesting and full of attractions that are captivating, exciting and ideal. Throughout, my visit to the Augusta Museum of History the most rewarding experiences that I’ve gathered are quite intriguing. One of which is the exhibition of the late Mr. James brown, known as “The Godfather of Soul.” “World-renowned music star James Brown (May 3, 1933 - December 25, 2006) called the Augusta-area home his entire life. Born in Augusta and maintaining a home in Beech Island, South Carolina until his death on Christmas Day in 2006, Brown maintained a business presence in Augusta while managing a steady international touring schedule. Local honors to the legendary musician include the renaming of the Augusta-Richmond County Civic Center...

...Evan Brock 04/05/2013 Lester Young Lester Willis Young (August 27, 1909 – March 15, 1959), nicknamed "Pres" or "Prez", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and clarinetist. He also played trumpet, violin, and drums. Coming to prominence while a member of Count Basie's orchestra, Young was one of the most influential players on his instrument. He played with a cool tone and used sophisticated harmonies, using "a free-floating style, wheeling and diving like a gull, banking with low, funky riffs that pleased dancers and listeners alike". Famous for his hip, introverted style, he invented or popularized much of the hipster ethos which came to be associated with the music. Lester Young was born in Woodville, Mississippi, and grew up in a musical family. His father, Willis Handy Young, was a respected teacher, his brother Lee Young was a drummer, and several other relatives played music professionally. His family moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, when Lester was an infant and later to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Although at a very young age Young did not initially know his father, he learned that his father was a musician. Later Willis taught his son to play the trumpet, violin, and drums in addition to the saxophone. Lester Young played in his family's band, known as the Young Family Band, in both the vaudeville and carnival circuits. He left the family band in 1927 at the age of 18 because he refused to tour in the Southern United States, where Jim Crow laws were in effect and racial...

...Lester Horton * In 1932, Lester Horton formed his own dance company called the Lester Horton Dancers * Horton choreographed several films, such as Moonlight in Havana 1942 and Phantom of the Opera 1943 * Horton trained a number of significant mid-twentieth century dancers such as Alvin Ailey, Janet Collins and Joyce Trisler * His interest in dance was encouraged after watching tribal dances in a Wild West show * He was also among the first choreographers in the U.S. to insist upon racial integration in his company Lester Horton Technique The Horton Technique combines several cultural elements, such as Afro-Caribbean elements which explain the hip movement, or hip circles and Japanese arm gestures which explains the straight arms and Native American folk dance which may explain the type of music use to dance to. The technique emphasizes a whole body, anatomical approach to dance that includes flexibility, strength, and coordination for a healthy dancer. The fortifications are considered the core of Horton technique. They establish a framework of movement mechanics, of muscular development and coordination, elasticity and range. Horton technique focuses on the use of tilt lines, lunges and straight lines throughout the body, which means parallel legs and arms, and flat backs, flat enough for you to be able to put a cup of tea on. It also incorporates stretching on opposite directions. Jazz is a good preparation for the specifics listed above and is used...

...Accident at the derby At the Epsom Derby today at 3:10 a women has stupidly run in front of a horse and is badly injured, she has been sent to Epsom Hospital. As she was carried of to the hospital she appear to be dead but this has not be confirmed yet. The jockey was thrown out of the saddle right in front of the king and Queen and a capacity crowd. There is now speculation that the woman is a suffragette or Irish terrorist. Unfortunately the king’s horse was badly injured and will have to be put down. Many of the jockeys had to swerve their horses to avoid collision. It appears that the lady was a suffragette she was wearing a green coat lined with purple. The women is reported to only have a fractured skull. The women’s name has been confirmed as Emily Wilding Davidson and there is doubt that she will survive. Miss Davidson has been known to take drastic action. She has been imprisoned many times for her views of giving women the vote and is reported that she tried to take her own life while in prison by throwing herself over the galleries. Miss Davidson was a graduate at London University and had a degree in English Language and Literature. We managed to obtain an interview with Miss Richardson her words were: ‘I had no idea that Emily had planned this protest. I assumed that we were going to wave placards in an attempt to distract the horses and stop the race. It was not until we heard the thundering of the hooves that we realised Emily had slipped under the barriers...

...hating wars (i.e. peacekeeping), loving hockey, eating at Tim Horton's, wearing fur hats, and having "free" healthcare. Of course, most of these stereotypes are frivolous and fallacious while some others are tolerable merely to extent. Nonetheless, some people in different countries of the world, especially the U.S, apparently choose to think of them as the main characteristics of Canadian people. When it comes to peacekeeping, most Canadians would think of Lester B. Pearson's actions for Canada, like establishing the United Nation Emergency Force, for solving the Suez Crisis, and the Policy of Bilingualism in Canada. Pearson's eloquent speech illustrates the peacekeeping nature exists in Canadians, particularly when he declares "I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given to participate in that work as a representative of my country, Canada, whose people have, I think, shown their devotion to peace." I remember the first day I set foot into Canada, on September 24th, 2009. Right after I entered the Lester Pearson International Airport, seeing people from different races had astonished me. Certainly, I did have some information about Canada (e.g. official languages, statistics, etc.), based on what I learned in geography class during elementary years in Iran; even so, I did not imagine Canada...

...history is imitation. It is composed of an achievement a nation, society, or individual has completed, and the result of the achievement is symbolically interpreted as something that is worth emulating. They become models or morals that are imitated. There are ‘great moments’ in time which encompass a “demand for monumental history” (Nietzsche, 15). Individual’s according to Nietzsche, strive for “what was possible once….be possible a second time” (Nietzsche, 16). As a result of the infatuation with monumental history, there is no longer a cause and effect, but only the “effects in themselves”; it does not explain how something appeared, it essentially explains the end product in order to emphasize an achievement (Nietzsche, 17). For example, Lester B. Pearson is interpreted as a...

...Canada…the BEST Place to Live! Canada was and still is almost certainly one of the best places to live, because of its diversity. Canada surpassed other countries during the 1990s in many different categories such as; Human Rights, Culture, Technology and most of all the influence of the Military/War. The power the military and war played in Canada being the best place to live was evident during the Vimy Ridge battle in WWI, D-Day in WWII and during the Suez Crisis of 1956 during the post war years. Because of the success Canadians achieved during these encounters, Canada was seen as the best place to live. Vimy Ridge is an example of a battle were Canadians began to form an identity separate from that of France or Britain, liberating the country, which made it a great place to live. Before the Vimy Ridge battle, Canadians were fresh faced and rightfully under-estimated. Conversely, as soon as the battle commenced, Canadians earned a reputation for aggressive attack. The Germans were shocked at the aggression the Canadians were showing but were quick to realize that when a large number of Canadian troops all arrived at the same place, a battle would soon take place. This battle was arguably the first time in history that Canadians were seen as a threat. Leadership was also effectively portrayed during this battle due to the fact that it was the first total Canadian victory with Canadian troops fighting together under Canadian leadership. This was a crucial step in the growth...

...Who is the Greatest Canadian of the Twentieth Century? Thomas Clement Douglas was born on October 20, 1904 in Falkirk, Scotland. He was often called Tommy. He and his family immigrated to Canada in 1911. They settled in Winnipeg, Manitoba. When Tommy was 10, he had a bone infection in his leg, osteomyelitis, which needed many operations. None of the operations helped him and his family could not afford to send him to a special doctor. He was extremely fortunate when a visiting surgeon volunteered to operate on him for free. He was also a minister and a politician. Tommy Douglas is the greatest Canadian due to the fact he achieved Medicare, became the first national leader of the NDP and fought for social programs even in the presence of strong oppositions. Tommy Douglas learnt from the experience of his sickness the importance of doctors. The sickness and how he was saved was his inspiration for the Medicare. He wanted everyone to receive the Medicare they needed, even if they did not have a great deal of money. During one of his speeches as a politician, he said, I came to believe that health services ought not to have a price-tag on them, and that people should be able to get whatever health services they required irrespective of their individual capacity to pay. This inspired him to work hard so as to make health care available to all Canadians at no cost. In 1959, Tommy announced the plan to establish a medical insurance called Medicare. He faced strong...

...The Boogeyman In the short story “The Boogeyman” by Stephen King, we are introduced to Lester Billings, a trouble man who has lost his three children. The short story has a third person narrator, which means that the narrator is external, outside the story. Somehow, we only hear Lester Billings, the main characters point of view. The way Lester Billings is presenting his story and his experiences to Dr. Harper sounds incredible as if it from a mentally ill person. “I can’t go to a priest because I’m not a Catholic. I can’t go to a lawyer because I haven’t don’t anything to consult a lawyer about. All I did was kill my kids. One at a time. Killed them all.” This is the first thing Billings says in the neighborhood of his problem to Dr. Harper. He feels responsible of their killings and he needs to release his guilt. In spite of the fact that he is about to confess the murders of his three children, this is a quite composed way of telling his experience. Billings is very arrogant and self-centered in way of behaving in relation to other people. He also feels superior to woman and talks quite openly about being a male chauvinist pig and a child abuser, for example he says “… I started to slap her, just like the old days,” “--- And a wife should follow her husband,” “She was always such a jellyfish … look how easy she went to be with me when we weren’t married” and “And if he didn’t stop crying I’d give him a wrack.” This examples show us that he wants to be in control but...

We get a deep look into his psyche whereas the psychiatrist we only know little about. Main Character Lester Billings is an arrogant sissy. He thinks the best of himself and is irascible when contradicted. He is also violent, selfish a male chauvinist and has about every other negative Characteristics one can think of.

...The Boogeyman In Stephen King’s short story ‘The Boogeyman’ we are introduced to Lester Billings, a young man, who is visiting a psychiatrist for the simple reason of telling the story of how he killed his three kids. Lester Billings explains that he didn’t kill them himself, but that he was responsible. His story begins with the marriage between his wife Rita and himself. He describes their marriage as happy, but there is many examples indicating the contrary. The relationship between Lester and Rita is very unequal and Rita is being quite repressed by Lester. He doesn’t think she has a right to decide things, because she is a woman and he describes himself as ‘brighter’ than her. He also explains how he got ‘the last word’, whenever she fought for an opinion contrary to his own. Lester is a very old fashion, homophobic, patriotic American with a bit of hatred towards Vietnam, niggers and maybe, women. He sees himself as superior to his wife and he ought to be aggressive and violent if she provokes him in any way. This violent nature of his can also be seen in his upbringing of his children. For example he states that: “If he didn’t stop crying I’d give him a whack”. He also tells the psychiatrist how he sometimes felt like killing both his wife and his children, because they drove him crazy. Lester is a very obstinate man controlled by pride and honor. He wanted to protect the child by bringing him into their bedroom, but his honor forbade him to do it, because then he...
