[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

[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.
