Wessels Living History Farm Farm -An old Fashioned Summer
Area musicians gathered to provide music for the good old summertime activities at Wessels living history farm in York, Nebraska
June 15, 2014
David Wessels didn't take his dedication to rural America with him after his death. The vision he left in his will opened the door to an array of opportunities in just a few simple phrases -- a certain amount of land and capital should be set aside to establish the 'Wessels Living History Farm'.
When David Wessels wrote those phrases, he left an opportunity to send a living story to the world, a story about the spirit of American agriculture. The story goes back to Native Americans who first cultivated these fields, through the first European immigrants staking out the prairie ground, through boom and bust cycles and through the incredible technological innovations of the 20th Century. It's a story that will continue as long as the human race consumes food.
The York Community Foundation, which administers David's bequest, formed a committee in 1995 including business people and farmers to carry out Wessels' vision of an the educational project. Five years of research was completed, including studies by consultants with grandiose ideas about what truly defined a living history farm.
Slowly that definition began to form. The site would consider the past, present, and future and attract large audiences. Then it was decided that not only would there be an actual farm located just south of I-80, but it would be shared digitally over the Internet to reach millions more.
This decision was solidified when the York Community Foundation filed a lawsuit to make a legal definition of a living history farm. The plans were approved and the building of both the on site and website began in cooperation with Nebraska Educational Television Network. NET completed the first section of the Web site, Farming in the 1920s. The next section of the Web site, Farming in the 1930s, was executed by The Ganzel Group Communications.
The 145 acre physical site includes a house that David Wessels and his brother lived in for a period of time when they moved to town. It's typical of farm architecture of the early 20th Century. The house was donated to the Living History Farm project by York College and moved to the physical site in 2002. You can see a video of the moving process here. The site also includes a barn donated by Bill Peters of Shelby, Nebraska. The red, timber frame giant reflects barns typical of the 1920's, the era chosen for the Living History Farm to interpret. In the future, an event center may hold offices, meeting places, and displays. The physical site will bring to life the history of agriculture for local visitors. The Web site will spread that message to the world.
In the future, the farm could grow in numerous ways. The site is viewed by the Wessels Corporation as a living project on a journey reflecting the continuing role those involved with agriculture play as they provide nourishment to the world.
The address for the Wessels Living History Farm is:
5520 South Lincoln Ave.

With nearly 500 works on display, salon style, art fills nearly every possible space in the house.

They had zero experience with cannabis. Now they run a hemp farm.
Despite having zero prior experience working with weed and knowing very little about hemp-derived CBD — a natural strain of cannabis that's legal to have and won't get you high — Martinetti, 23, and his two business partners dropped out of school and moved 140 miles outside of Manhattan to open Hemp Chain Farms and Naturae LLC. They have joined about 100 farmers legally planting more than 3,000 acres of cannabis across New York.

Transition to sustainable energy - VPRO documentary - 2010
In the course of the 21st century, fossil fuels will run out and an energy transition seems unavoidable. In view of the explosive growth in China and India, the pessimists give us only 25 years to operate an energy transition to sustainable energy. But is an energy transition easy to set in motion?
Will European countries have completed their transition in time, before oil and gas become scarce and/or too expensive and/or difficult to reach? Will our energy-dependent economies still be able to continue? These are important questions in a world in which new power blocks and political alliances arise on the basis of differences in the energy situation.
In energy transition everyone would like a harmonious development says Coby van der Linde, director of the Clingendael International Energy Program (CIEP), but if you look at history, you'll see that these kind of big changes happen more often. And they usually come with conflict'.
Coby van der Linde developed a future scenario that VPRO Backlight presented to foreign experts. Together they outline a disturbing picture of geopolitical conflicts that may await us.
With Michael Klare (Resource Wars, Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet, The new geopoliticis of energy), former Admiral William Fallon (former captain of CentCom), political economist Mikhail Deliagin (Moscow), Edward Lucas ('The New Cold War'), Youssef Ibrahim (columnist and political risk consultant) and Ariel Cohen (senior research fellow The Heritage Foundation).

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!
