  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

Through collectively owned and democratically governed assets, communities can build wealth. Economic development policy and practice should emphasize wealth creation. Employee ownership, through worker cooperatives is one way to build wealth. But worker cooperatives are rare in the United States; this is because there is not a supportive cooperative ecosystem.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Under the Mat Inside Wrestling's Greatest Family by Diana Hart
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Under the Mat Inside Wrestling's Greatest Family by Diana Hart Under the Mat: In Under The Mat, Diana comes across as vindictive, cold, and a beaten woman. She relives the past by drudging up every bad story she can remember (or make up) to badmouth those she has differences with. There are only a few people in the book, Owen and Stu among them, who seem to be on Diana's good side. Along the way, she bashes her brothers Bret and Bruce, her sisters' husbands (including Jim Neidhart), her ex- husband Davey Boy Smith, and Owen's widow Martha. It was Martha who thankfully had the guts to threaten Diana with legal action unless the book was removed from the shelves. Bret wrote in one of his newspaper columns that he was thankful his mother Helen died before she had the chance to read her daughter's book because it would have broken her heart. Another thing wrong with this book is that it is not well written. Diana skips around so much and goes off on so many tangents (especially in earlier chapters), that the reader has to flip back to remember what the chapter is about. She also gets a lot of facts incorrect. One that I can remember, and it's only a small detail, is that she says that Jacques and Raymond Rougeau wrestled as the Quebecers. Well, at least she's half right. Sometimes, she just flat out lies. She states that when the Hart Foundation won the tag titles from the British Bulldogs, the finish saw Jim Neidhart whack Davey Boy legit over the head with a megaphone before they finished him off with the Hart Foundation's patented move.

  • Buck, Ralph M
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project RALPH MILTON BUCK Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial Interview Date: August 18, 2008 Copyright 2014 ADST Q: Let’s start at the beginning. When and where were you born? BUCK: I was born November 1944 in Oklahoma in the Baptist Hospital in Muskogee, Oklahoma. My parents lived in Stigler, Oklahoma, a small town in the eastern part of the state. Q: Let’s talk about your father’s side and sort of back up. Where did they all come from, what do you know about them? BUCK: My father was born in Missouri in 1894 but his family moved to Oklahoma when he was about two years old. My mother was born in 1905 in Oklahoma before statehood. She was born in Keokuk Falls, a place that according to her had three or more saloons on every block, but which no longer exists. It was also the birthplace of Jim Thorpe, the world famous Native American athlete. Q: What do you know on your father’s side? What were they, the Bucks up to? BUCK: The Bucks’ original ancestor came from Germany about 1730. His name was Christian Buck. He was a Lutheran minister, and he lived in Wytheville, Virginia, which is in the far western part of the state. His German name is believed to have been Buch. He first went to Pennsylvania, then to Virginia. The Buck family lived there for three generations. Some Bucks apparently still do. Eventually, one of the Buck boys, about the time of the Civil War, left and went to Texas where he married and had a son in 1865.
