Simple everyday stuff to do...we all know them; I just have to remind myself to DO them. - When folding towels from the basket, I walk the towel to the closet with each towel folded...burn up more steps than doing one at a time. Same thing with loading dishes into the dishwasher, etc.
The first time I lost a significant amount of weight...I would "sneak" in exercise here and there. Taking the stairs, parking in the farthest spot from the mall/groccery store, or purposely making two trips up and down the stairs when I probably could have done it all at once. Sounds a little silly..but it adds up! On top of regular exercise and eating right, I believe this really helped me reach my goal!
When I spend time on the computer - reading my email, doing my online banking, or checking in with SparkPeople - I always sit on my stability ball rather than use a desk chair. As I'm working, I'm usually bouncing a little or shifting from side to side or front to back, all the time working my core. This is an excellent way to sneak in exercise and make online time more productive. And....I feel a little less guilty about spending time on the computer! 43
Getting the kids outside is a good way to sneak in exercise. I have my son garden or do yard work with me (huge yard). When I want to stop he still wants to finish what we started and vise-versa.

Please contact your local agricultural extension specialist or county weed specialist to learn what works best in your area and how to use it safely. Always read label and safety instructions for each control method. Trade names and control measures appear in this document only to provide specific information. USDA, NRCS does not guarantee or warranty the products and control methods named, and other products may be equally effective.
An important consideration in controlling purple loosestrife is its prolific seed production, the ease with which seeds are dispersed, and their ability to remain viable for several years. Also, this plant can spread vegetatively by resprouting from stem and rootstock cuttings. Other considerations in selecting control methods are their detrimental effects on native species and the possibility for reinvasion by purple loosestrife or other exotic species. In addition, native plants of similar appearance should not be subjected to control. Purple loosestrife may superficially resemble plants of the mint family or species of the genera Epilobium and Liatris. Proper identification is an important consideration in controlling exotic loosestrife.
In natural areas, it may be more feasible to contain populations of purple loosestrife than control them. Large populations extending over one hectare or more will be difficult to eradicate. Containing them may be more feasible. Removing plants or applying herbicides to ones extending beyond the main population can accomplish this. If loosestrife cannot be eradicated, efforts should then concentrate on keeping it from invading the highest quality areas (Butterfield et al., 1996.
Manual, Mechanical, and Replacement: Mowing, burning, and flooding are largely ineffective. Cutting followed by flooding so that cut plant stalks are completely immersed has shown some success. However, flooding may encourage the spread of purple loosestrife seed present in the soil and may result in the regeneration of new plants from stem fragments. Mature plants can withstand short-term immersion. Burning is largely ineffective and it may also stress native plants and subsequently enhance loosestrifes' competitive advantage (Butterfield et al., 1996).
Hand removal is effective for small populations and isolated plants. Younger plants (one to two years old) can be pulled by hand. Plants should be removed, prior to seed set, with minimal disturbance to the soil. Removal after seed-set will scatter the seeds. The entire rootstock must be pulled out because of the potential for regeneration from root fragments. A hand cultivator or similar implement will be helpful for older plants, especially those in deep organic soils. Uprooted plants and broken stems need to be removed from the site since such fragments can re-sprout. Bagging plants for removal will prevent their spread along the exit route. Follow-up treatments are recommended for three years after plants are removed. Clothing and equipment used during plant removal should be cleaned to remove contaminating seeds.
Replacement control has been attempted in several wildlife refuges. Research has shown that Japanese millet (Echinochloa frumentacea Link) seedlings outcompete purple loosestrife seedlings. The millet must be planted immediately after marsh drawdown and replanted each year because it does not regenerate well. Replacement seeding trials using native pale smartweed (Polygonum lapathifolium L.) showed that it also out-competed purple loosestrife. Replacement methods have obvious limited application in natural areas, but they may provide control of loosestrife populations on bordering property (Butterfield et al. 1996).
Herbicide Control: Various chemical treatments have been used on purple loosestrife with varying success. Many herbicides are not specific to purple loosestrife and may not be specifically licensed for such use. Label directions for application and use according to local, state, and federal regulations must always be observed.
In areas with populations exceeding 100 plants (up to 1.6 ha in size) where hand-pulling is not feasible, application of a glyphosate herbicide to individual purple loosestrife plants provides effective control Glyphosate is available under the trade names Roundup® and Rodeo®. Rodeo is registered for use over open water and is the most commonly used herbicide to control purple loosestrife. Glyphosate is nonselective and can kill desirable plants associated with loosestrife if applied carelessly. Application to the tops of plants alone can be effective and limits exposure of non-target species (Butterfield et al. 1996).
Herbicide treatment should be conducted as early as possible during the manufacturer's recommended time of application in order to kill the plants and prevent seed production. Application is most effective when plants have just begun flowering. Timing is important because seed set can occur if plants are in mid- to late flower. Where possible, the flower heads should be cut, bagged, and removed from the site prior to application to prevent seed set. Rodeo applied as a 1.5% solution (2 oz. Rodeo/gallon clean water) with the addition of a wetting agent, as specified on the label has been shown to provide control. Another option, which may be more effective, is to apply glyphosate twice during the growing season. The plants should be sprayed as described above when flowering has just started and a second time two to three weeks later (Butterfield et al. 1996).
Application of ghyphosate from a vehicle-mounted sprayer is generally necessary in areas with extensive stands of purple loosestrife. The most effective control can be achieved by beginning treatment at the periphery of large patches and working toward the center in successive years. This technique allows native vegetation to re-invade the treated area as the loosestrife in eliminated (Butterfield et al. 1996).
A combination of 2,4-D and Banvel® (dicamba) has been used on a limited basis. This formulation is broadleaf specific and apparently would not hurt the dominants if sprayed in a cattail marsh or communities dominated by rushes, sedges, and grasses. Spraying produces good control once loosestrife has reached 10-15% of its mature growth. Treatment is more effective if repeated once during the growing season (Butterfield et al. 1996).
Biological Control: Several biological control agents have the potential to aid in the control of purple loosestrife. Of 120 species of phytophagous insects associated with purple loosestrife in its natural range in Europe, 14 species were considered host-specific to the target plant. From this group, six species have been selected as the most promising for biological control. These species were a root-mining weevil, Hylobius transversovittatus Goeze, which attacks the main storage tissue of purple loosestrife; two leaf-eating beetles, Galerucella calmariensis L., and G. pusilla Duftschmid, which are capable of completely defoliating the plant; two flower-feeding beetles, Nanophyes marmoratus Goeze and N. brevis Boheman, which severely reduce seed production; and a gall midge, Bayeriola salicariae Kieffer, which similarly reduces seed production by attacking the flower buds. Five of the six species are found throughout its range in Europe and the sixth, N. brevis, is restricted to southern Europe (Malecki et al. 1993; Weedin et al. 1996).
The most promising insects appear to be the root-mining weevil, H. transversovittatus, and the two leaf-eating beetles, G. calmariensis and G. pusilla, because of their broad geographic ranges and the amount of damage done to the host plant. In June of 1992, all three species were approved by USDA, APHIS for introduction into the United States. The insects were released in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington. Releases were also approved in Canada (Malecki et al. 1993).
The two Galerucella species successfully over-wintered and began oviposition at all release sites. The other species, H. transversovittatus, was proving more difficult to establish, because of its long life cycle and low fecundity. The investigators predict that all three species will become established throughout the North American range of purple loosestrife. Furthermore, H. transversovittatus is expected to have the greatest negative impact to L. salicaria. However, a combination of various phytophagous insects will provide greater control than any one species. Control of purple loosestrife will be achieved more rapidly in mixed plant communities where competition for space and nutrients is greater. A reduction in the abundance of purple loosestrife to approximately 10% of its current level over about 90% of its range is expected (Malecki et al. 1993).
In order to evaluate the potential of fungus pathogens to control purple loosestrife, a survey was conducted on fungi associated with that plant. During the three year study, 5265 fungal isolates were obtained. Thirty-one taxa were found that had not previously been reported from purple loosestrife. Tests for the pathogenicity to purple loosestrife are being tested (Nyvall 1995).

While doctors write more than 200 million prescriptions for statins each year, adherence to treatment remains a significant issue.4 Previous studies indicate that nearly 75% of new statin users stop therapy by the end of the first year.5 Problems with statin adherence are associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes—including heart attack and death6— and contribute to the rising costs of heart disease; expected to reach $818 billion by 2030.3
"Many patients ignore their doctor's concerns about high cholesterol levels, or fail to take their statin as prescribed," said Dr. Eliot Brinton, spokesman for the National Lipid Association, who also serves as Director of Atherometabolic Research at the Utah Foundation for Biomedical Research. "It is important for doctors and patients to work together as a team to make sure the appropriate treatments—diet, lifestyle and a statin, if needed—are prescribed and followed properly. The USAGE survey results can help educate healthcare providers and the general public about the importance of cholesterol management and will empower patients to take action against this critical health issue."
The USAGE survey explored patient perceptions, attitudes and behaviors about statins, from reasons why patients stopped treatment to education around therapeutic lifestyle changes and the high incidence of potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs).

"The most systematic and comprehensive effort yet made to assess the role played by Darwinian ideas in the writings of English-speaking social theorists of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries." --Isis "In seeking to set the record straight, Bannister cuts through the amalgam with an intellectual shredder, exposing the illogic and incompatibility involved in fusing Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species with Herbert Spencer's Social Statics.... Bannister's familiarity with relevant texts and their reception by contemporary social theorists, scholars, and critics on both sides of the Atlantic is impressive." --Journal of Interdisciplinary History "A fine contribution to Anglo-American intellectual history." --Journal of American History

Thanks, Tim, an Old Man's Favorite Subject!
Posted by Bob in About Bob, Comment Responses, History, Project Wiki on 12/28/2008
Tim must not have any old relatives, because he asked me to talk about me.
And I just took a pain pill!
Typing is now fun and I do not have that obsession with making sense that bothers me at other times.
What could you say about me in a Wiki?
First of all, as Tim points out, NOBODY wants to talk about me. Long before they switched sides, Tom Fleming, Clyde Wilson and others ceased contact with me. Considering the decades we had worked together this was hardly a coincidence.
They stuck with me all that time because we were on the same side. They knew what I had done, but only pros did. I was astonished to hear that my 1982 book was being used as a textbook in her son's school. I've seen it cited in grad texts and my first book in the book Beyondism.
There must be a lot more because I found these by accident.
The point is these were professional books. Knowledge of me was not on Donahue.
I was astonished to see myself noticed in each of these cases.
I have a tendency to be on the long-term winning side. But the old saying is that "Victory has many fathers, defeat is an orphan." So when after two decades of marching and writing I finally was a major force in getting Republicans to unite "Wallace Democrats" with conservatives to elect Reagan, everybody took credit.
Here is a rule most people here know. There are people who do the work and people who know how to get the credit. After the Reagan victory in 1980 it turned out that every Republican leader had been all for this coalition from the word go.
So what would a Wiki say about me? "He wrote the groundbreaking book," as William Rusher said, "that made the coalition undeniable?"
You would have to read Jeffrey Hart's review of my first published book in National Review, "Read This One!" and the COVER ARTICLE attack on me to see there was any debate.
After 1980 everybody with influence had said he had always been all for it. These were the powers in the Republican Party.
Anyone who disagreed with them would make an enemy he couldn't afford.
So are you going to say in Wiki that Bob had pivotal role in forming this coalition?
No way! EVERYBODY had a pivotal role in it.
Because it WORKED.
As Jeffrey Hart pointed, my book sounded genuine because I had BEEN with the grassroots populists on truckers' strike, the farmers' strike, anti-busing marches, wildcat coal mine strikes.
But I also had first-hand experience with the Infallible Geniuses of the Communist Conspiracy. Nobody in the grassroots would let THEIR "activists" in, but my tiny Populist Forum was overwhelmed with requests to speak for REAL working peoples' grassroots protests. So the Communist World said we did it by our heavy conservative funding.
There were three of us, and we didn't even have a bank account. And regular conservatives would rather fund the CPUSA than us.
National Review, in "To the Nashville Station," implied we WERE Communists.
What the CPUSA, those Infallible Geniuses, did NOT see was that we were forming the coalition that destroyed their indestructible Soviet Empire.
OK. You are going to do Wiki on Whitaker, explaining just this one aspect of his life: how he was pivotal to a coalition everybody claims credit for.
Lots of luck. And that's just one chapter.
I had the same sort of role in saving the Space Telescope and stopping racial quotas imposed by IRS in private. They were lost causes when I got in on them and at the finish everybody had been for them from the word go.
So what would you say about me in Wiki?
My hope is that someday history will say, "White people finally realized that this 'anti-racist' program was actually genocide aimed against THEM." Students will read this and say, "Of course they did!"
It's obvious once it's done.
I am a genius. I put my finger on what is, in hindsight, obvious.
Try explaining THAT in 500 words or less in Wiki.
Screw it, Tim. You and I have a war to win, and you need to use me while I'm here.
I don't need a Wiki. I need a WIN.
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Comment Responses, Project Wiki on 12/28/2008
I have a Christmas question for you. How is it that you have no Wiki entry? The Political Cesspool has one. David Duke and Don Black both have Wikis. Many other members of the struggle have Wikis for better or worse. Stormfront itself has a Wiki entry. But Bob Whitaker exists only as a Photographer to Wiki?!?!!?
You are too important to not have a Wiki. Or maybe that is why you don't have a Wiki? You scare the powers that be too much….. LOL, They are scared to give you exposure!
How can someone as famous as you in Washington circles NOT have a Wiki!! Your fame must be the WHY to why don't have a Wiki.
I noticed the SPLC launches tirades against little fish like VDare. But not a peep toward the big White shark. I cannot find an entry for Bob Whitaker on the ADL site or the SPLC website!!! Maybe I am blind.
I feel fortunate. I have definitely been in the right place reading the right blog for the past couple years. I found the only racist the powers that be are actually terrified of.
"Why do people SAY things?" It is easy to forget that an interviewer is in a highly competitive business, and most publications and most shows don't survive a year. They can get mileage out of Dr. Duke or Jared Taylor, but my message is too tight for them to even to discuss.
Now the single issue of white survival, with all its ramifications, is not what interviewers want, but I don't make my living on this stuff any more, and it is all I want to talk about.
But the bare survival of our race is not an issue that can be ignored permanently. Dr. Duke has a lot of issues about Jews to interest them. Jared Taylor aims to get back to an earlier white America. These are things present audiences and present interviewers are used to.
David and Jared are two men. I am training a small GROUP that can be called upon for interviews all from the disciplined point of view that would destroy the whole genocidal movement. AFKAN has his nephews. You are talking to people, disciplining people.
No one wants to talk to me because, as you say, they have no idea how to deal with me. Fox was the only place where I did a major interview and was not invited back. The second interview was not aired due to pressure.
They let me read out the Mantra on the last one.
William Buckley published a latter I sent him in his Notes and Asides a couple of years back. He didn't know it was ME, as his reply in the column made clear.
In short, as you say, I am a pro. Most pros get published BECAUSE of their names. I sneak in sometimes because I'm good.
My job now is to train some more pros.
As to a Wiki, it is easy to explain what Dr. Duke and Jared Taylor do. It is easy to explain what they DID.
My role is, and WAS, just a little more complicated.

Maybe we just have better luck than the riders who post the stupid driver threads over the years. IMO I don't think it's luck, I think it's riding and earning the respect of the drivers around us. Of course there is always a jerk somewhere but we have had good luck. Even n my single years ago when I rode the road I had no problems.
We ride through plenty of 4 way stops when drivers are headed home. Most times we enter an intersection we stop and 90% of the time we are waved through. It helps that we can nearly track stand for a few seconds on the tandem.
But when we are riding with traffic approaching behind I am always thinking someone will pass and shout, "Ho Mo!" from their window for the simple fact we are wearing spandex. Of course that would make no sense since I'm on a tandem with a female. But it hasn't happened ever and the only shouts we get are people slowing down and shouting from their windows, "you guys are doing great!".
There are quite a few people out walking for exercise on the road we ride. Many of them shout out to us too. Last night some dude and his woman were walking down the hill as we were riding up. I asked, "how you doing?". He replied, "fine!". After a short hesitation he shouted , "you guys are doing good, DOING REAL GOOD!".
On the second time up the climb we stopped to stretch our legs. I turned on the lights and a walker by said, "wow those are some bright lights!". Then he asked if we were OK or if we needed help. Oh no thank you, "just taking a short break" I said. He walked off then no more than a minute later a car with a "Don's Bicycle Shop" logo on it drove by then turned around and pulled up to us. "Are you guys OK?" he asked. "Oh yeah thanks for asking but we're just taking a short break" I replied. He said OK and that he was just asking in case we were stranded.
Hmm! After reading all the negative driver comments, I'm surprised as most of our communication with the others is all positive.
...and a LONG WEEKEND!!!!! Let's get out of here!!!
...would work best in this situation?
Last Saturday night and again last night, I torched what I believe to be a Barn Funnel Weave Spider, that's two in less than a week! If I see anymore, the house is considered a total loss, and I'm just getting 5 gallons of gasoline and saying goodbye!
FTR - The problem with using a blow torch to kill a spider is that the spider we fall when it feels the heat, so you have to be quick to torch it once it gets to the ground. The one last night, fell into a pile of leaves, almost had to say goodbye and torch the house at that point, but I saw it start to move so I was able to focus the fire and take care of that little f'er!

Beat the Sabres last night in a pretty convincing manner even though the score didn't reflect that. 3-1 final. Sabres thought they tied it up but a coaches challenge showed an offside that reversed the 2nd goal by the Buffalos. Turris gets 2. Lehner hurts his ankle and gets removed. Eichel gets his first ever NHL goal in his first ever NHL game.
To all my fellow Canadians and anyone else on the LF who celebrates Thanksgiving, enjoy the day Monday and eat lots of turkey with gravy and stuffing and taters and pumpkin pie with whipped cream and alcoholic beverages!

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- Just when NFL fans thought the replacement officiating controversy couldn't get any worse than it did Monday night in the Green Bay Packers/Seattle Seahawks game, it did.
After Monday night's game, Mitchell Mortaza, the Founder and Chairman of the Lingerie Football League announced on the league's Facebook page that some of the officiating crews that are now working as replacement refs for the NFL were actually fired by the Lingerie League due to incompetence.
Here's the full statement that was posted on the LFL's Facebook page: "FORMER LFL OFFICIALS FIRED OFFICIATING in the NFL OFFICE of MITCHELL MORTAZA STATEMENT: 'Because of the LFL's perception it is that much more critical for us to hire officiating crews that are competent, not only for the credibility of our game but to keep our athletes safer. Due to several on-field incompetent officiating we chose to part ways with a couple crews which apparently are now officiating in the NFL. We have a lot of respect for our officials but we felt the officiating was not in line with our expectations. We have not made public comment to date because we felt it was not our place to do so. However in light of tonight's event, we felt it was only fair that NFL fans knew the truth as to who are officiating these games'".
Wow...that's bad.
Add this admission to the growing list of complaints NFL fans have with the way the league has handled the replacement ref situation.

Bioconcepts Green Tea Extract formulation contains 1000mg pure Green Tea Extract.
Bioconcepts Green Tea extract is a digestive antioxidant. Green tea contains oils, vitamins, minerals, and caffeine, but the primary constituents of interest are the polyphenols, particularly the Catechin called EpigallocatechinGallate (EGCG).
What is Green Tea?
Green tea is made solely with the leaves of Camellia Sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing.
Why take Green Tea Extract?
You can get the benefit of several cups of green tea in one convenient tablet with Bioconcepts Green Tea Extract 1000mg.
How Green Tea works. The science behind the secret…
Green Tea is derived from the same plant as black tea, but is treated differently. Both types are made from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant, but black tea is fermented and this process removes some of the beneficial qualities of the tea by reducing its polyphenol content.
Is Green Tea Extract right for me?
Green tea extract should prove beneficial to most people.
Bioconcepts Green Tea Extract 1000mg:
Caution before taking Bioconcepts Green Tea Extract:
You should carefully read all product packaging and labels prior to use
Bioconcepts Green Tea Extract 1000mg:
Green Tea Extract 1000mg (95% polyphenols providing 332mg polyphenols, Green Tea poweder 100mg, Capsule Shell: Hydroxpropyl Methylcellulose
Free from gluten, yeast, dairy, artificial flavours, colours and preservatives.
2nd review on these tablets, as I have continued to take them. They have given me more energy and reduced my appetite. So will continue to take them :)
good one

Catholic Channel
Symposium: "Light of the World" and Pope Benedict XVI
God does amazing things with the "gaffes" of honest, diligent people who do their best.
Tom Hoopes, writer in residence at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, is the former editor of the National Catholic Register and Faith & Family magazine.
Tim Drake
The Pope's Forest
The media's recent single-minded attention to Pope Benedict XVI's comments in Light of the World demonstrates what the popular Get Religion blog has long held. The press just "doesn't get religion." Their attention on one issue -- contraception -- exemplifies that they cannot see the forest for the trees.
Contraception is one -- and a very minor -- issue among many covered in the pope's interview-style book.
Much larger themes emerge . . . the forest, if you will. Not surprisingly, that forest is primarily, as has been the case throughout Joseph Ratzinger's entire life, the theme of living as if God doesn't exist. That problem, and the Church's response to it, dominates the book.
One surprise I discovered was how often the Holy Father uses the word new. It practically screamed from the pages at me.
To give you some idea of its prevalence, the word new or renewal is used approximately 150 times. Compare that to the pope's use of the word Christ (84) or Catholic (109) and you see how central it is.
As the supreme pastor, Pope Benedict speaks of how his trips and experiences of the universal Church show him that there is a "new beginning" present in the Church.
". . . We see at this hour Christianity is developing a new creativity . . ." he says, citing "a dynamic of new movements," "new Catholic awakenings," "new life," "new enthusiasm," "new initiatives," and "new possibilities." "I am quite optimistic that Christianity is on the verge of a new dynamic."
Speaking of our culture's Godlessness, the pope calls it a "new religion," and says a "new intolerance that is spreading." He adds that this new paganism should be countered with a new apologetics, a "new evangelization."
We are "in an age in which a new evangelization is needed; in which the one gospel has to be proclaimed both in its great, enduring rationality and in its power that transcends rationality, so that it can reenter our thinking and understanding in a new way."
He calls on bishops to reflect on ways to give catechesis a "new heart and a new face." Repeatedly, the Holy Father stresses the need to find "new ways" to spread the Word.
"That is why, I think, as a new emphasis we have to give priority to the question about God," says Benedict. "This makes it all the more important for Catholicism to present its faith in a new and vital way and to reproclaim it as a force for unity, a force of solidarity and of eternity's openness to time."
The pope also prescribes a method. At the heart of such efforts, the Holy Father points to Christ in the Eucharist, "the place where man can receive the kind of formation from which new things come into being."
The pope's clarion call is this: "We must summon fresh energy for tackling the problem of how to announce the gospel anew in such a way that this world can receive it, and we must muster all of our energies to do this."

Boundary Value Problems in Mechanics of Nonhomogeneous Fluids
- S.N. Antontsev
- A.V. Kazhiktov
- V.N. Monakhov
The objective of this book is to report the results of investigations made by the authors into certain hydrodynamical models with nonlinear systems of partial differential equations.
The investigations involve the results concerning Navier-Stokes equations of viscous heat-conductive gas, incompressible nonhomogeneous fluid and filtration of multi-phase mixture in a porous medium. The correctness of the initial boundary-value problems and the qualitative properties of solutions are also considered. The book is written for those who are interested in the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations and their applications in mechanics.
Book information
- Published: December 1989

Waiting for Godot
by Samuel Beckett
Analysis: Genre
Drama, Modernism, Philosophical Literature, Surrealism, Tragicomedy
OK, with a list like that, we sure have our work cut out for us. Drama is an easy one, since the work is a play and the conflict is entirely expressed in emotion-revealing drama. Modernism and surrealism have to do with the play's lack of real plot and its breaking from narrative traditions. Waiting for Godot is modernist in the sense that it defies classic standards, and it is surrealist in that Vladimir and Estragon's world has no clear system of logic or rules. Remember that line when Vladimir wonders aloud if he's sleeping and merely under the illusion of consciousness? That's surrealism in a nutshell. The label "tragicomedy" is in the title, so good luck arguing with that one. (We meant to say something scholarly and authoritative, like the fact that Gogo and Didi's exchanges vacillate between the absurdly comic discussions of turnips and the horrible, tragic, vague suspicions that life is meaningless. The bowler hats even remind us of Charlie Chaplin the ultimate tragicomedian.)
Lastly, Waiting for Godot is most definitely a work of philosophical literature, exploring the arguments of the absurd (that the universe is irrational and without meaning) and existentialism (that the solution to such irrationality is to become conscious of one's freedom and live life anyway through a series of choices and actions). Notice we said that Waiting for Godot explores these themes – whether or not it agrees with them is subject to debate.

Plan De Lucha 4 Group
Hilaria is excited to be taking her seventh loan with Esperanza after having successfully repaid her previous loans and growing her business. She plans to use this loan to invest in her business running a colmado, or corner store, by purchasing the basics products that her clients expect to find such as rice, beans, cooking oil and powdered milk. She will use the profits to invest in her children's education and continuing to grow her business. She thanks you all for your support.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Respond to Review of Veganz - Schivelbeiner Strasse
by NIlsI
Review: Everytime I'm in Berlin I try to go to Veganz. After years of searching I finally found a peer vegan chocolate paste to Nutella!! I let some non-vegan friend trying Nutella and the Valsoia-Nutella with the result that they could not find the regular Nutella. I know that this has nothing to do with the shop but I really like to go to a super market and can be conscious that everything is vegan. Furthermore, they have a great range of different ..of course vegan products. I like it alot!

Some Republican candidates appear to be trying to neutralize "war on women" criticisms to narrow the gender voting gap that favors Democrats among women.
The right is throwing all its weight behind Sen. Pat Roberts to help him defeat pro-choice Independent Greg Orman.
The justices issued a 5-4 ruling on Monday allowing new early voting restrictions in Ohio to take effect before voting in November's midterm election begins.
Nearly two hours into the Friday morning speeches at this year's Values Voter Summit, Rep. Marlin Stutzman revved up the crowd with his call to ban abortion, using himself as a reason.
New Hampshire U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown worked to distance himself from a hardline "personhood" position this week, putting him at odds with the state's Republican Party and positions he has taken in his political past.
Since 2010, Sean Fieler, a New Jersey-based hedge fund manager and fervent Catholic, has personally contributed nearly $18 million to political candidates and causes that align with his anti-choice, anti-LGBT, and pro-theocracy views, according to an analysis of tax filings and campaign finance records by RH Reality Check.
A stay issued late Tuesday by the Iowa Supreme Court blocks a rule designed to shut down telemedicine abortions across the state.
There is no perfect way to staff our judiciary, but the evidence is inescapable that the more money that goes into electing judges, the worse our state courts perform.
The order prevents authorities in Louisiana from enforcing the law while clinics and providers continue to try and secure hospital admitting privileges.
Sullivan now faces incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Begich, who has said that Sullivan has "positions on women's health that are truly frightening." The race will likely play an important role in Republicans' efforts to regain control of the U.S. Senate this November.

Start a Family...
And before you know it, you'll be voting for the GOP.
Apr 22, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 30 • By JONATHAN V. LAST
In Hawley's final pass through the model, he looked at how median home price and the marriage rate interact with one another. And here he found another powerful relationship: Every $10,000 increase in median home value causes a 0.3 percent decrease in the marriage rate of the 25- to 30-year-old cohort. Which suggests that, all else being equal, increasing home prices delays marriage.
Hawley's research might seem esoteric, but it carries with it an extraordinary amount of practical political guidance for Republicans.
For instance, the GOP is rightly committed to increasing economic prosperity. But Hawley notes that rising incomes don't actually produce any political benefit for Republicans if they require increasing educational attainment and are accompanied by rising land costs. So Republican economic policy should probably be somewhat more populist-minded.
And about those land costs. Whether or not Democrats have intuited that higher housing prices help them, liberal urban planning shibboleths—fealty to mass transit combined with a dogmatic commitment to increasing population density—have the effect of making homes more expensive. Republicans ought to be just as interested in measures which contain housing costs, such as building highways and removing land-use restrictions. In other words, Republicans ought to be every bit as committed to the suburban project as Democrats are to urbanization.
Geography has long proved resistant to policy initiatives, and land costs are malleable only to a point. Sociology, however, is more promising. The Republican party can't lower the cost of real estate in Manhattan but it could plausibly encourage more Americans to get married. In the same way no politician ever misses an opportunity to extol the virtues of college, Republicans should insistently be making the case for marriage.
This isn't a heavy lift. There's an enormous amount of research demonstrating that marriage makes people happier, healthier, and wealthier. The most recent addition to the literature came just a few weeks ago in the form of a report titled Knot Yet, by Kay Hymowitz, Brad Wilcox, Jason Carroll, and Kelleen Kaye, which examined the same delayed-marriage phenomenon that Hawley was studying in his model.
The Knot Yet authors have put together a list of policy ideas that could help Americans get to marriage earlier. For starters, Republicans could champion nontraditional degrees and vocational training instead of robotically pushing the universal four-year degree, which these days too often comes with a crushing load of debt. When Republicans talk about reforming the tax code they ought to advocate measures that will make family formation more affordable—like increased child tax credits—and be wary of plans—like removing the mortgage-interest deduction—which could make it more difficult.
Other ideas abound. Lately some Republicans have become obsessed with trying to outbid Democrats on issues, such as immigration and same-sex marriage, which do not offer any obvious political advantages. If they're going to get into bidding wars, why not do it over a suite of issues that could actually bear electoral fruit? For instance, today Democrats are the only ones promoting family-friendly workplace policies. Hawley's research suggests that Republicans ought to be competing in this space, too, helping to mitigate the professional costs young men and women incur by entering marriage and family life, and thus encouraging more of them to take the plunge.
As the party of commerce and free markets, Republicans are constitutionally disposed toward prizing economic growth, job creation, and lower taxes, which is fine, so far as these things go. But regaining the White House and becoming a majority party again will require more than that. Instead of flitting from one political fad to the next, the GOP ought to be fixating on the foundational questions that most influence voting behavior: encouraging young men and women to get hitched and lowering the financial barriers for those ready to tie the knot.
Sociologists have long acknowledged the good societal outcomes of such behavior. George Hawley has demonstrated in no uncertain terms the good political outcomes. If the Republican strategists don't take note, they'll deserve to keep losing elections.

recently reaffirmed that providing quality health care is a priority of its
new Five-Year Plan. Concomitantly, the health care and maintenance sector
of the insurance industry are just coming into their own in China,
