During the 1950’s, many countries had begun to incorporate Communist ruling and ideals in their government. In the novel “The Edge of the World”, by Gail Vida Hamburg, the island of Chomumbhar is unknown and cut off from the rest of the world until President John F. Kennedy and the First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy arrive on a visit (1962). However, Chomumbhar, a small republic on the Indian Ocean, revealed Communism practices and ideals throughout its island but wanted a relationship with…

table eating dinner on a regular Tuesday night when suddenly you are lying on the road, bleeding, and can’t seem to find your family. This is what the citizens of Dresden experienced on February 13th, 1945, when the Allies dropped more than 3,900 tons of explosives on the city, killing over 25,000 Germans. This was clearly a horrible event in history as were the other German and Japanese bombing attacks, but was this tactic justified? No, the strikes on the German cities of Dresden, Berlin, and…

Beatles in August of 1960. Now that they had their name down, they had another problem. They had three guitarists and one bassist, but no drummer. This was a big problem because Allan Williams, who had connections to German nightclub owner, Bruno Koschmider, had offered them a position in Koschmider’s club, but only if they could find a drummer (Lewisohn, Complete Beatles Chronicles 21). The Beatles decided to recruit drummer Pete Best not only so that they could go to Germany, but also…

Working at the Salvation Army requires an eye for detail, a sense of organization, working well with others and more. Working there is not just accepting donations and throwing them in some corner until a truck comes and takes the donations on to the next stop like many may think when the name Salvation Army comes up. I worked at a branch of the Salvation Army in Hamburg, PA and the facility there included a store for the community. I was asked to bring in donations from the designed place just…

Georg Philipp Telemann was a German baroque composer during the 17th-18th century. He was born in Magdeburg, Germany in 1681, to a Protestant family. At an early age, he showed great musical talent, mastering the violin, flute, and keyboard by the age of ten, and two years later, at the age of twelve, composing an opera. His family discouraged him from becoming a professional musician however, as it was not, at the time, a profitable occupation. Many of his family members worked for the church,…

Rolling Stone, “The Beatles’ first night in Hamburg, Aug. 17, 1960, was 20 years ago, to the day, since the Germans launched their first attack on Liverpool [England], when Nazi planes dropped bombs on the docks at Toxteth, Aug. 17, 1940. Rock and roll music was taken to Hamburg by the children of the survivors, to be heard in turn by children who’d outlived the Allies’ revenge blitz of 1943. Scorned by adult society as a force for evil and the work of the devil, black rhythm music out of…

The 10,000 Hour Rule Nobody is perfect. But if you put enough time, effort, and thought, into your passion, you can become a master at what you enjoy to do. This is shown in the second chapter of the Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. The 10,000 hour rule is a rule stating that in order to be almost perfect at what you do, you need to put 10,000 hours into your works. The Beatles didn’t become one of the most iconic bands of all time by practicing in their basement an hour or two every weekend or so.…
