| Veit and Karen Johnson - Independent Xango Distributor - Work from Home! Most people you know are on the "40 year plan", working for linear income. That means they only get paid for what they personally produce. They work 8 hours, they get paid 8 hours. They get sick or hurt and can't work for 3 months.. there is no money coming in. That's called "Plan A".. and it's the plan most people around you are on. The ones who say to you "I'm not sure I'd be interested", or "I don't have the time to work a business", or "I tried one of those things before for a month and it didn't work". Now, consider the alternative. With leveraged income we get paid on our own personal efforts, AND on the efforts of an organization. J Paul Getty said, "I'd rather have one percent of a hundred peoples' efforts than a hundred percent of my own". Our business is called: a Plan B. Guess what? Most people don't have one. On the David Letterman show Donald Trump was asked what he would do if he lost everything and had to start over? Trump's response? Network Marketing. |
| American Cowgirl - Women have been involved in rodeo, a sport originally designed to test the skills of the cowboy, since the late 1800's. With roots in the travelling Wild West Shows of days gone by, women's rodeo has spawned some larger than life heroines as well as every day competitiors who tough it out weekly on the pro-rodeo circuit. Today, women compete in bareback and bull riding, barrel racing, breakaway roping and calf-roping. |

| Portraits of the Presidents - Ever since George Washington became President in 1789, the presidency has been a major focus of American political life, and as with nearly everything associated with that office, presidential portraits have from the outset attracted considerable popular interest. There was, in fact, a time when painted, sculpted or engraved likenesses were the only means that most people knew their Presidents. In the case of Washington, there were even sporadic debates through much of the nineteenth century over which portrait had most accurately recorded him for posterity. |
| Manhole - Sewer Art - I have viewed a lot of sites and the pictures on this site really caught my eye. This site surely deserves a visit if you enjoy art. Designes shown on this site The Fifth Book of Moses - Deuteronomy, verse 23:12 could be regarded as the (or one of the) first municipal waste ordinances, ordering human waste be kept out of residential areas. For practical reasons, sewers were the convenient choice to transport waste out of the resident's way. The word itself - sewer - derives from the old French "seuwiere" ("essevour"), meaning "to drain" or "to cause to flow". Prior to sewage systems, many pre-18th century houses made use of cesspits underneath their homes - or simply let their waste flow directly on the street. Upon reaching a certain level, the cesspits were designed to overflow; giving the streets the burden of transporting the waste to the closest body of water. |
| National Gallery of Art - created in 1937 for the people of the United States of America by a joint resolution of Congress, accepting the gift of financier and art collector Andrew W. Mellon. During the 1920s, Mr. Mellon began collecting with the intention of forming a gallery of art for the nation in Washington. In 1937, the year of his death, he promised his collection to the United States. Funds for the construction of the West Building were provided by The A. W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust. On March 17, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt accepted the completed building and the collections on behalf of the people of the United States of America. The paintings and works of sculpture given by Andrew Mellon have formed a nucleus of high quality around which the collections have grown. Mr. Mellon's hope that the newly created National Gallery would attract gifts from other collectors was soon realized in the form of major donations of art from Samuel H. Kress, Rush H. Kress, Joseph Widener, Chester Dale, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, and Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch as well as individual gifts from hundreds of other donors. |
| Re:constructions - an on-line resource and study guide, designed to spark discussions and reflections about the media's role in covering the events of 11 September 2001 and their aftermath. As millions of people around the world sit glued to their television sets, even as we write, we feel it is important to encourage critical analysis of the words, images, and stories which fill the media - as well as the ones we are not hearing or seeing. We hope this site will be used to help inform discussions in schools, places of worship, union halls, civic gatherings, and homes as people struggle to make sense of what is happening and to sort through their competing emotions about these events. |
| Rosetta Project - The Rosetta Project is a global collaboration of language specialists and native speakers working to build a publicly accessible digital library of human languages. Since becoming a National Science Digital Library collection in 2004, the Rosetta Archive has more than doubled its collection size, now serving nearly 100,000 pages of material documenting over 2,500 languages—the largest resource of its kind on the Net. A major concern of our project is the drastic and accelerated loss of the world’s languages. Just as globalization threatens human cultural diversity, the languages of small, unique, localized human societies are at serious risk. In fact, linguists predict that we may lose as much as 90% of the world’s linguistic diversity within the next century. Language is both an embodiment of human culture, as well as the primary means of its maintenance and transmission. When languages are lost, the transmission of traditional culture is often abruptly severed meaning the loss of cultural diversity is tightly connected to loss of linguistic diversity. To stem the tide and help reverse this trend, we are working to promote human cultural and linguistic diversity, as well as to make sure that no language vanishes without a trace. |
| Silent Witness - in New York, January 2002, Lola (Rein) Kaufman met with a curator of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Lola told the story of her lonely survival during the Holocaust. At the end of the interview she reached into her bag and took out a tiny dress, handing over the only item directly linking her to her mother. Lola had spent seven months hiding ina hole in the ground, wearing this dress sewn by her mother. She had no other possessions. Learn more about this silent witness! This is the story of just one of more than 8,000 objects in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. |
| The Impulsive Buy - dedicated to providing quasi-reviews about various consumer goods. Each review goes off on some tangent, but almost always comes back to complete the review. If it didn’t, we wouldn’t be a quasi-review website. Instead we would be some quasi-babbling website.The Impulsive Buy USUALLY posts five four three reviews a week. About one in every fifty are actually any good. The staff of The Impulsive Buy are not experts, but they do like to try anything that has any of the following words on the product: new, improved, new and improved, better tasting, reconditioned, less fat, fat-free, best-selling, less calories, reduced for quick sale, limited edition, free toy, 50% off, or now with Olestra. The website is not affiliated with any company, but wishes that any company send free stuff for the staff to review, because buying stuff for a quasi-review website staff to review can be expensive. |

| United States Holocaust Memorial Musuem - The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is America’s national institution for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history, and serves as this country’s memorial to the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims – six million were murdered; Gypsies, the handicapped and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war and political dissidents, also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny. The Museum’s primary mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge about this unprecedented tragedy; to preserve the memory of those who suffered; and to encourage its visitors to reflect upon the moral and spiritual questions raised by the events of the Holocaust as well as their own responsibilities as citizens of a democracy. Chartered by a unanimous Act of Congress in 1980 and located adjacent to the National Mall in Washington, DC, the Museum strives to broaden public understanding of the history of the Holocaust through multifaceted programs: exhibitions; research and publication; collecting and preserving material evidence, art and artifacts relating to the Holocaust; annual Holocaust commemorations known as Days of Remembrance; distribution of educational materials and teacher resources; and a variety of public programming designed to enhance understanding of the Holocaust and related issues, including those of contemporary significance. |
