HIS/IST 274 Site Visit Presentations

Today in class we gave presentations on our independent site visits of places in Paris that capture in some way the American presence in the city over the past centuries.  We learned about a wide variety of memorials, monuments, residences, cafés, and even a famous chain of fast food restaurants.  Site visits included Pershing Hall, the Children's Statue of Lafayette, Les Deux Magots Café, Harry's Bar, the Palais de la Légion d'Honneur, the Hôtel de Valentinois (Benjamin Franklin's former residence and printing press), a statue of Rochambeau, and McDonalds.


Not only did we enhance our knowledge of the long history of Franco-American political, diplomatic, military, and cultural relations, but we honed our public presentation skills.  (Left above is Annie presenting on the Children's Statue of Lafayette.  Directly to the left, Tessla is explaining the architectural influence of the Palais de la Légion d'Honneur.  To the right, Meredith is unfolding the history and cultural significance of McDonalds in France.)

  3. I have been suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) for the last four years and had constant outbreaks and pains. During the first year,I had faith in God that i would be healed someday, and i was taking treatments and meds from my doctor. I was taking accyclovir alongside some ointment. I spent so much on meds but the blisters still return after some months. It was early this year, i was using the Internet to see if i could gather any information to get rid of this virus once and for all, using natural herbs. Then i came across a testimony of a woman who was healed from diabetes and Cancer of the breast by one Herbal Dr.yakubu. I copied the email address of the doctor after her testimony. So I sent a message to Dr.yakubu telling him about my Herpes Virus. he told me not to worry that as long as I will make use of the herbs as directed, with God, I will soon testify. I thought he was bluffing. So we got talking and he asked me some questions. He prepared and sent me some herbs in 70ml bottles and ointment, then he guided me on how to use them. In less than 2 months of usage, i was totally healed. The blisters disappeared and the pains gone too. I went for a test and the result was Negative. I had to use a different hospital and the result was same. Since over nine months now, I am Herpes Free.... Please my advise is this, if you have similar sickness or any other sickness at all, Please do not forget to reach out to Dr.yakubu on : (dr.yakubuherbalhealingclinic@gmail.com). you can also reach the doctor on whatsapp +2348057353647
