What is a Czech Egg?
A Czech Egg is a painted or embellished egg exchanged at holidays and celebrations between friends. The painting of the egg is known as the art of Kraslice in the Czech culture.
Traditionally, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (formally Czechoslovakia before their separation in 1992), eggs were exchanged during Easter as a symbol of new beginnings, love, friendship and good things to come.
The World’s Largest Czech Egg was dedicated during a ceremony held July 29, 2016 in Wilson KS.
Why Wilson?
During the 1870’s a large migration of Bohemian and Moravian immigrants from Czechoslovakia settled in and around Wilson, Kansas. Many Czech families still live in the area and carry on Czech traditions. The peoples’ Czech heritage influences many aspects of life in Wilson including the food they eat, the art they make, the music played and how business is conducted. Visitors can see these influences on the menus at local restaurants and learning the names of locals with distinctively “Czech” last names. The city of Wilson acknowledged its immense pride of its Czech heritage, in 1967, when the state of Kansas declared Wilson the Czech Capital of Kansas. To celebrate this achievement, Wilson hosts many activities throughout the year including the annual After Harvest Czech Festival held the last Saturday in July.

Around Kansas - Ron Wilson poem Birth of a New Breed - Wednesday September 14, 2016
(Ron Wilson) Today the American Angus Association is the largest breed association in the United States and people may not know that that breed originated in the British Isles but then was brought all the way to Kansas. This poem it entitled, Birth of a Breed. It was on the 17th of May way back in 1873, that Kansas welcomed in some cattle that would change beef history. Near the town of Victoria out on the Kansas plains a man named George Grant wanted to boost his cattle gains. To improve the native bloodlines and reduce the needed culls, on that day George brought in four Aberdeen Angus bulls. Can you imagine the sight when those beefy cattle arrived, where nothing but short horns or ranging longhorns had survived? There must of been a funny scene that the neighbors thought contrary, when those black-hided cattle arrived out on the Kansas prairie. But when those calves were born then the farmers' opinion moved because the influence of those bulls made the cattle much improved. The Angus breed developed and grew for all to see, the Angus Breed Association was formed in 1883. The American Angus Auxiliary was formed in 1952 supporting youth showing and scholarship and all the good they do. So like when George Grant brought those bulls here in that way, Angus bulls still bring improvement in cattle herds today. Since the hungry people of the world have protein as a need, we're thankful for this immigration of the Angus breed. Happy Trails.

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! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Four Uniforms: The Marvin Day Story
In the Second World War, Marvin Day fought as a Marine Raider (the precursor to today's Force Recon special operators) at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, on Saipan and Tinian, and at Okinawa.
After the war, he helped integrate the U.S. Army - and to build our nation's first nuclear-intercept missile system.
At its heart, this is the story of many more combat veterans every bit as ordinary as Marvin. It's the inspiring, ground-level view of combat that your favorite vet may not have known how to share.
