Dinosaur Tales and Pioneer Trails
The Pioneer Trails Regional Museum in Bowman, North Dakota is a small town museum with HUGE reach in terms of research, scholarly mentorship, and museum interpretation. When it comes to America's last dinosaurs, Dean Pearson and his team of local paleontology enthusiasts have created a well curated collection of fossils that rivals some major museums in this country. Since the early 1980's when the asteroid impact hypothesis was first put forward, the team at PTRM has been fostering paleontological research. The field school and museum lab at PTRM has played a role in developing an entire generation of scientists studying the extinction question, including notable alums and friends of our show, Dr. Kirk Johnson, Dr. Antoine Bercovici, Dr. Tyler Ranse Lyson, Jacqueline Richard, and many others. We had a blast checking out the collections and learning about the exciting research that Dean and his many students are putting forward.
National Buffalo Museum Gets Collection Gift #110
JAMESTOWN, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) -- A museum only hopes that it can receive a collection that would make such a significant impact as the Ernest Clifford Collection of buffalo memorabilia has to the National Buffalo Museum. Wednesday evening's 16th Annual Fundraiser For the North Dakota Buffalo Foundation in Jamestown, was dedicated to Ernie Clifford and the 350 plus piece collection that he donated to the National Buffalo Museum in early March 2009.
National Buffalo Museum Director, Felicia Sargeant says, the process began over a year ago for moving the collection from CT and obtaining an official appraisal of the collection. Although the road was a tough one, the museum was able to obtain funding from the Buffalo City Tourism Foundation for the move as well as pay for the appraisal. She says, purchasing collections is not standard practice for museums as there is never enough money for day-to-day operations. She adds, the National Buffalo Museum is no exception, and would not have had the ability to even consider accepting the collection if hadn't been for the generous support of the Buffalo City Tourism Foundation.
Ms. Sargeant adds, it is with great pride that the National Buffalo Museum now houses the entire collection of Ernest Clifford. The museum will continue to change and display the many wonderful bronzes, artwork and memorabilia that Ernie collected for over 30 years. Ernie and his family have made the trip to North Dakota in order to see the collection displayed.
The National Buffalo Museum is currently open daily from 8 a.m. 8 p.m. Admission is $5.00 for adults, $4.00 for AAA/Seniors, $10 for families, $1.00 for students (age 17 7), age 6 and under and museum members are free. The National Buffalo Museum is located off I-94 at exit 258 in Jamestown. For more information about these events, contact the National Buffalo Museum at 701-252-8648 or 1-800-807-1511.

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.

SUMMARY
=======
German Americans (German: Deutschamerikaner) are Americans who have full or partial German ancestry. With an estimated size of approximately 44 million in 2016, German Americans are the largest of the self-reported ancestry groups by the US Census Bureau in its American Community Survey. German-Americans account for about one third of the total ethnic German population in the world.None of the German states had American colonies. In the 1670s, the first significant groups of German immigrants arrived in the British colonies, settling primarily in Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia. Immigration continued in very large numbers during the 19th century, with eight million arrivals from Germany. Between 1820 and 1870 over seven and a half million German immigrants came to the United States. By 2010, their population grew to 49.8 million German Americans, reflecting a jump of 6 million people since 2000.
There is a German belt that extends all the way across the United States, from eastern Pennsylvania to the Oregon coast. Pennsylvania has the largest population of German-Americans in the U.S. and is home to one of the group's original settlements, Germantown (Philadelphia), founded in 1683 and the birthplace of the American antislavery movement in 1688, as well as the revolutionary Battle of Germantown. The state of Pennsylvania has 3.5 million people of German ancestry.
They were pulled by the attractions of land and religious freedom, and pushed out of Germany by shortages of land and religious or political oppression. Many arrived seeking religious or political freedom, others for economic opportunities greater than those in Europe, and others for the chance to start fresh in the New World. The arrivals before 1850 were mostly farmers who sought out the most productive land, where their intensive farming techniques would pay off. After 1840, many came to cities, where Germania—German-speaking districts—soon emerged.German Americans established the first kindergartens in the United States, introduced the Christmas tree tradition, and introduced popular foods such as hot dogs and hamburgers to America.The great majority of people with some German ancestry have become Am ...
