Historic Mackay Mansion - home of Bonanza King John Mackay
Jeff and Sarah tour the historic -- and some say haunted -- Mackay Mansion in Virginia City, Nevada. The 1860 mansion was home to the father of William Randolph Hearst and also to John Mackay, one of the richest men in the world when he died in 1902. Two robbers were killed inside the house when in 1883 they tried to gain access to the vault where gold and silver bullion were stored. This is episode #38 of the YouTube show History Hunters.

The Future of Farming: Hydroponic Tomatoes

Rows of healthy hydroponic tomatoes are nurtured and grown in a high-tech greenhouse facility in Camarillo, California.
Houweling's Tomatoes is a family-owned operation dedicated to reducing its environmental footprint, one nutrient-rich tomato at a time.
The tomatoes at this facility are fed nitrogen, potassium, and other elements like iron and zinc to give it that extra kick. Plants sink their roots in coconut fibers, aiding in the growth of vines that can reach approximately a foot a week.
Since the facility is completely enclosed, there are no weeds, no fungus, or need for any pesticides or fungicides. Advanced computer technology controls the humidity and carbon dioxide levels, and solar panels provide the facility with total energy independence.
Reporter Val Zavala chats with tomato growers for a rare look inside the one-of-a-kind greenhouse facility in Southern California.

Princes of the Yen: Central Bank Truth Documentary
“Princes of the Yen: Central Banks and the Transformation of the Economy” 『円の支配者』reveals how Japanese society was transformed to suit the agenda and desire of powerful interest groups, and how citizens were kept entirely in the dark about this.
Based on a book by Professor Richard Werner, a visiting researcher at the Bank of Japan during the 90s crash, during which the stock market dropped by 80% and house prices by up to 84%. The film uncovers the real cause of this extraordinary period in recent Japanese history.
“Because only power that is hidden is power that endures.”

Ambassador Casper Klynge: The World's First Tech Ambassador | Talks at Google
Denmark has decided to elevate technological diplomacy (TechPlomacy) to a crosscutting priority in its foreign and security policy. To spearhead these efforts, the Danish Government appointed Denmark’s (and the world’s) first ever Tech Ambassador, thereby allocating considerable diplomatic resources towards technological and digital developments. The Office of the Tech Ambassador has a global mandate and a physical presence across three time zones in Silicon Valley, Copenhagen and Beijing, thus transcending borders and regions and rethinking traditional diplomatic representation in the process.
Moderated by Rasmus Greve.

Don Shaver Keynote Address at ISAE 2016

Don Shaver Biography
Born in Galt (Cambridge, ON, Canada) in 1920, Dr. Donald Shaver’s interest in poultry breeding began at the early age of 12, followed three years later by the launch of a small hatchery called Grand Valley Breeders, and participation in the Standard Egg Laying Test of the day, in both Canada and the USA.
From 1940 to 1945 Dr. Shaver served as an officer in the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. At war’s end he was a regimental Commanding Officer, and in peace time, he has maintained his connection with the military as an Honorary Colonel. The military discipline he gained during the war was instrumental to develop his work ethic which would become characteristics of his management style later on. When he returned from war in 1946, he had to revive his hatchery and used his war gratuities to buy stock from other breeders. After witnessing hunger and destruction, Dr. Shaver’s long term aim became to improve animal production systems, especially thorough breeding. In 1954 the Shaver Starcross 288 White Leghorn layer surpassed other breeds by producing an average of 290 eggs per chicken per year. Upon this success, he entered into the export market with sales of chickens to the United States, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. When he retired as CEO of Shaver Poultry Breeding Farms in 1985, his company was operating in 94 countries andlines derived from the Shaver Starcross 288 were producing more than a quarter of the world’s white and brown eggs, and approximately 15 percent of the world’s chicken meat.
Believing that some of the same breeding principles he used with poultry could be applied to beef cattle, he undertook a 25-year project to produce a synthetic beef breed incorporating nine breeds excluding all the main lines of the day (Angus, Hereford, Simmental, Charolais and Holstein). The result was a highly prolific pure red breed of beef cattle with approximately 75 percent retained heterosis that crosses well with all other breeds. Dr. Shaver donated to the Canadian Government approximately 300 frozen embryos from a broad genetic base, and 13,000 semen services from 14 unrelated sires. This material is held for posterity at the University of Saskatchewan.
Throughout his career, he also helped reduce world hunger by working as the volunteer chairman for the Developing Country Farm Radio Network, by offering his services and expertise to the United Nations on a voluntary basis, and by actively engaging Shaver Poultry Breeding farms in ethically sound business practices and philanthropic endeavours. He was appointed a member of the Order of Canada in 1978 and promoted to an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1990 in recognition of his breeding efforts and for his contributions to reduce world hunger. Since 1983, he has served as a director on the boards of several corporations in various fields, including insurance, telecommunications, aircraft manufacturer, farm machinery, nuclear medicine, nuclear waste disposal and offshore drilling. For 12 years, he was the chairman of a Crown Corporation Conglomerate, retiring at the age of 88. He has received three Honorary Doctor of Science degrees, one from McGill University in 1983, one from the University of Guelph in 1995, and one from the University of Alberta in 2003.
Although in his 90s, Dr. Shaver is still active on multiple advisory boards and is dedicated to raising awareness on the challenges of feeding a growing world population in the context of climate change, and disappearing agricultural land.

2018 Dungala Kaiela Oration - Dr Moana Jackson
Prominent Māori lawyer and social justice advocate Moana Jackson explores treaty, sovereignty and self-governance at the 10th annual Dungala Kaiela ‘Defining Goulburn Murray’ Oration on Yorta Yorta country in Shepparton on Tuesday, 24 July 2018.
Co-hosted by the Kaiela Institute and the University of Melbourne, the oration brings together Shepparton and the wider community to promote social and economic prosperity in the Goulburn Murray.
Dr Jackson’s lecture, At home on country, at home in the world, will explore the United Nations drafting of Rights of Indigenous Peoples and its desire to allow Indigenous people to determine their own destinies.
Dr Jackson is Director of Ngā Kaiwhakamārama i ngā Ture (the Maori Legal Service) and lecturer at Te Wānanga o Raukawa, Ōtaki.
“Yorta Yorta people, like all Indigenous peoples, deserve to not just be safe and secure at home in country, but to be confident and brave at home in the world,” Dr Jackson said.
“I’ve learned about some of the exciting initiatives that have begun in the Goulburn Murray, and in Australia, to make this possible. These indicate that the hopes shared by so many during the drafting of the UN Declaration can be made real with imagination and bravery.
“To do this, we must have a voice and a seat at the table when it comes to treaty discussions and sovereignty more broadly.”
