[00:03.41]contention

[00:05.57]This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in

[00:16.55]the troops in their contention over a dam on the Danube.

[00:23.59]conviction

[00:26.08]After a 10-month run in the market that has been all but unbroken, some investors think stocks are

[00:33.90]running low on gas. Light trading volume since November indicates there is little conviction behind

[00:42.50]the market's recent ascent.

[00:50.43]Forgetting clearly aids orientation in time, since old memories weaken and the new tend to stand out,

[02:01.04]help reforest the watershed and support the hydrologic cycle reducing runoffs, erosion and sedimentation.

[02:11.97]foundation

[02:15.83]Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the

[02:22.54]history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States.

[02:32.01]intuition

[02:34.59]Women, relying on intuition and one another, mobilize to save the planet, or their immediate

[02:42.43]neighborhoods, from the ravages -- war, pollution, racism, etc. -- wrought by white males.

[02:56.27]colossal

[02:58.51]A:Hope we can get an appropriation from our parent company this time.

[03:04.05]B:Me too. And then a colossal benefit will result.
