“The unthinkable is that we're distorting this atmospheric balance. We're shifting the chemical balance so that we have more poisons in the atmosphere - ozones and acid rain on ground level - while we're also changing the thermal climate of the earth through the greenhouse effect and - get this - simultaneously causing destruction of our primary filter of ultraviolet light. It's incredible. Talk about the national-debt crisis - we're piling up debts in the atmosphere, and the piper will want to be paid.” WantLightEarthLevelsEffectsBalanceRainDestructionPaidCrisisClimateIncrediblesDebtPrimariesAtmospherePoisonGlobal WarmingChemicalsShiftingAcidFiltersUnthinkableGreenhousesNational DebtPipersOzoneThermalUltravioletAcid RainDebt Crisis Author:Michael Oppenheimer
“I've watched and learnt from DJs and remixers and paid way more attention to how I want my voice to sound. Before, as long as it was loud and in tune it was fine. I've discovered the difference made by various microphones and effects, so each track has a different vocal sound, my voice is woven into everything and it's above everything.” WayWantLongMadeDifferentSoundVoiceDifferencesAttentionEffectsFinePaidTrackVariousLoudTunesVocalWovenDjsMicrophones Author:Ellie Goulding
“I have often noticed that a bribe has that effect - it changes a relation.

“Follow the money, Washington reporters like to say. The money is this case comes from taxpayers, present and future, who are the source of every penny of dues paid to public employee unions, who in turn spend much of that money on politics, almost all of it for Democrats. In effect, public employee unions are a mechanism by which every taxpayer is forced to fund the Democratic Party.” TurnsPartyCasesEffectsSourcePaidUnionsDemocraticDemocratDuesEmployeeFundMechanismReportersDemocratic PartyTaxpayersPennies Author:Michael Barone
“Edge also implies what Ben Graham....called a margin of safety. You have a margin of safety when you buy an asset at a price that is substantially less than its value. As Graham noted, the margin of safety 'is available for absorbing the effect of miscalculations or worse than average luck.' ...Graham expands, "The margin of safety is always dependent on the price paid. It will be large at one price, small at some higher price, nonexistent at some still higher price."” StillsValuesEffectsHigherPaidSafetyLuckAverageEdgesAvailableDependentAssetsMarginsAbsorbingMiscalculations Author:Michael Mauboussin
“All those people who went out [to Occupy Wall Street] missed work, didn't get paid. Those were individuals who were already feeling the effects of inequality, so they didn't have a lot to lose. And then the individuals who were louder, more disruptive and, in many ways, more effective at drawing attention to their concerns were immediately castigated by authorities. They were cordoned off, pepper-sprayed, thrown in jail.” PeopleWayFeelingsIndividualLosesAttentionStreetsEffectsWallAuthorityConcernPaidDrawingInequalityThrownJailPeppersDisruptiveOccupy Wall StreetDrawing Attention Author:Edward Snowden
“A story once went the rounds of Israel to the effect that Ben-Gurion described me as 'the only man' in his cabinet. What amused me about is that he (or whoever invented the story) thought that this was the greatest compliment that could be paid to a woman.

“Using my own hand as a base material, I considered it a canvas upon which I stitched into the top layer of skin using thread to create the appearance of an incredibly work worn hand. By using the technique of embroidery, which is traditionally employed to represent femininity and applying it to the expression of its opposite, I hope to challenge the pre-conceived notion that 'women's work' is light and easy. Aiming to represent the effects of hard work arising from employment in low paid 'ancillary' jobs, such as cleaning, caring and catering, all traditionally considered to be 'women's work'.” HardHandsLightJobsEasyChallengesMy OwnEffectsExpressionMaterialsHard WorkLowsSkinsOppositesPaidNotionAppearanceCaringTechniqueEmploymentLayersThreadWornCanvasEmployedCleaningFemininityCateringEmbroidery Author:Eliza Bennett
