“We need to reduce military budgets; raise living standards; engender respect for learning; support science, scholarship, invention, and industry; promote free inquiry; reduce domestic coercion; involve the workers more in managerial decisions; and promote genuine respect and understanding derived from an acknowledgement of our common humanity and our common jeopardy.” NeedsHumanityUnderstandingDecisionCommonSupportMilitaryIndustryStandardsRaisesWorkersGenuineInventionBudgetsInquiryCoercionScholarshipAcknowledgementJeopardyCommon HumanityMilitary Budget Book:Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium Source: Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium

“Being Latina means I have culture I guess. We party together, cry together, and cook together. Or at least my family does as much as we can. We know where we're from and we have a certain kind of rhythm and understanding. Togetherness. As I get older it becomes more apparent that there is a community in this industry that is working together to rise up and fight against the misinterpretation of Hispanic and what it means to be a Latino-American nowadays.” KnowsKindMeanDoeTogetherCertainCultureFightingUnderstandingCommunityPartyCryIndustryMy FamilyRhythmCooksWorking TogetherTogethernessLatinoHispanicLatinaMisinterpretation Author:Alicia Sixtos
“The answer is navigation, manipulation, and implementation of more sophisticated intelligence. The idea that a robot will become more aware of its environment, that telling it to "go to the kitchen" means something - navigation and understanding of the environment is a robot problem.

“A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences.

“There is no art or science that is too difficult for industry to attain to; it is the gift of tongues, and makes a man understood and valued in all countries, and by all nations; it is the philosopher's stone, that turns all metals, and even stones, into gold, and suffers not want to break into its dwelling; it is the northwest passage, that brings the merchant's ships as soon to him as he can desire: in a word, it conquers all enemies, and makes fortune itself pay contribution.” MenWantArtCountryScienceDesireSufferingTurnsNationsDifficultUnderstandingPayEnemyBreakIndustryUnderstoodStonesGoldFortunePhilosopherTongueShipsConquerContributionPassagesMetalsDwellingMerchants Author:Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon
“It's learning your craft and understanding what it takes to survive in this industry. On the back of exposure from TV to books to Rachel Ray to Martha Stewart, the customer's integrity is far greater than every before. As a nation, just like the U.K., we don't complain enough.

“I think there's a huge parallel that affects my musical taste, and connections that have to do with my ethnic diversity and my musical tastes and the diversity of that. And it's interesting that, growing up on the circuit, it posed such a challenge, not only to me deciding what my identity was amongst my peers, but then on the music side, it was like trying to explain or convince people especially in the music industry that there was a place for what I was trying to do. But at the same time, I think it has a lot to do with timing and even me, like, understanding it.” PeopleThinkingTryingUnderstandingSidesChallengesInterestingGrowing UpGrowingIdentityHugeIndustryTasteDiversityConnectionsMusicalConvinceTimingPeersParallelsMusic IndustryCircuitsMusical TasteEthnic Diversity Author:Miguel
