“Nature has hardly formed a woman ugly enough to be insensible to flattery upon her person; if her face is so shocking that she must in some degree be conscious of it, her figure and her air, she trusts, make ample amends for it.” IfsPersonsEnoughFacesAirFiguresDegreesConsciousUglyShockingFlatteryAmendsInsensible Author:Bill Vaughan
“[The doctrine of air] I was led into in consequence of inhabiting a house adjoining to a public brewery, where I at first amused myself with making experiments on the fixed air [carbon dioxide] which I found ready made in the process of fermentation . When I removed from that house I was under the necessity of making the fixed air for myself; and one experiment leading to another, as I have distinctly and faithfully noted in my various publications on the subject, I by degrees contrived a convenient apparatus for the purpose, but of the cheapest kind.” FirstsKindMadePurposeFoundHouseProcessAirSubjectsReadyDegreesConsequenceVariousExperimentsDoctrineFixedCarbonConvenientPublicationAmusedCarbon DioxideFermentationBreweries Author:Joseph Priestley

“As far as the command centers are concerned in Raqqa and to a lesser degree Mosul, cut those off. Do the same kind of thing that we did with Sinjar , working with our embedded special forces with the Kurds, shut off the supply route, soften them up, then we go in with specials ops followed by our air force to take them over. Those are things that work.” KindForceCuttingAirSpecialDegreesConcernedCommandRoutesEmbeddedAir ForceKurdsSpecial Forces Author:Benjamin Carson
“I remember going into a raggedy studio, still with my work uniform on. At the time, I was driving money trucks for Wells Fargo, so I had my gun and hat, which weighed me down in the heat. It was 97 degrees here in New York, and they had to turn the air conditioner off because it was too loud. So, I say, "Damn, it's hot in here!" That's how we came up with the song, "Damn, It's Hot." It was from our soul. We just got together, sang and made our own lyrics.” WellsMadeStillsSoulTogetherRememberSongTurnsAirNew YorkDegreesGunHotStudiosDrivingLoudDamnHeatHatsUniformsTruckFargoAir ConditionerWells Fargo Author:Sharon Jones
“We've lost half the summer sea ice in the Arctic. We've wiped out an enormous percentage of the world's coral reefs. We see huge changes in the planet's hydrology already, the cycles of drought and flood both amped up because warm air holds more water vapor than cold. These things are happening with a one-degree increase and going to two degrees won't be twice as bad, the increase in damage won't be linear, it most certainly will be exponential.
