POPS Solar power makes tiny village beam It's so amazing that the sun's power can be harnessed to provide energy and help a village like this one step into the new century. I had the opportunity of seeing a solar cooker; the joy it gives the people who used it to make food and feed their families; its always amazing.

POPSBest Vegan Banana Muffins
Nutrition based on 10 servings, vegetable oil: 98cal, 3.1g fat, 0.6g saturated, 0mg cholesterol, 64mg sodium, 16.6g carbs, 1.4g fiber, 6g sugar, 1.6g protein Some comments: I liked them a lot -- they are very chewy from the oats, not cakey like banana bread or typical banana muffins These muffins are so good. I think I'm addicted, I can't stop eating them. I didn't have any vegan butter so I just used vegetable oil instead. I tried these once, and now they're a weekend ritual. The last time I made them I was out of sugar, so I used brown sugar... and I think it made them even better. And for a bit of a different flavor, try chopped peanuts. This is a great recipe. The oats adds a little crunch to it and is a twist to the traditional banana bread muffin. Next time I will use less sugar or even none as it tastes very sweet. I think just the banana adds enough sweetness. VEGANI: I like this recipe because it was a very simple process and turned out great. I only got 6 sm-med sized

POPSSalary, gender and the social cost of haggling Women face higher social risks when negotiating higher wages. Not being able to pay the bills, keep a home, and put food on the table, in my opinion are higher risks. In the face of these responsibilities, I would hope women would get more gutsy (I'd say ballsy but then that is a male-gendered word) and start demanding what is rightfully theirs. --gosh I love my mother for teaching me this a long time ago--

POPS5 Ways Pets Can Improve Your Health All I can say is whenever I got home after a lousy day my dog would not ask what happened, he would simply wag his tail and I felt better! And when the family was having one off those days (ie constant bickering for nothing) the dog was the only member who wouldn't argue. I love my dog

POPSIs a Cat for You? Although I have allergies my cat and I are best of buds. I have to keep the house extra clean (wet rags only to pick up all her hair) to make sure her hairs don't get on me and trigger my allergies (this doesn't prevent me from constantly picking her up and hugging her). But this is worth it, she's very smart and fun to play with. Added bonus: she's black, no neighbors are trying to steal her, cause it's bad luck, plus she hunts all the little critters trying to eat my plants. :-)
