Payday loans are but one of many financial techniques – from overdraft fees to student loans subsidizing for-profit colleges – specifically designed to pull money from the pockets of the poor. This problem generally goes unrecognized by policy makers.
I knew medicine only by its absence – specifically, the absence of a father growing up: one who went to work before dawn and returned in the dark to a plate of reheated dinner.
There’s a method to the madness in filmmaking, where everything’s very specifically laid out, the shots and what they need – but there also can be a freedom to allowing the actors to find genuine moments.

George was a late arrival at school and he was sort of put in my charge, and one of the immediate similarities was that we both enjoyed music – specifically Elton John.
Our equality bill is specifically designed to protect religion and belief on exactly the same terms as race or gender or sexuality.
See, the thing that bothers me with young actors, young actors of color specifically, is that they see movies and television, and they figure that’s all it is to it. They have no respect for the craft. They want to be, you know, movie stars or whatever. And I worry that we’re losing a certain quality, you know?
If you are interacting with anything on your phone or your computer, it is specifically designed to collect as much data about you as possible, so that that can then be monetized.
The more dubious and uncertain an instrument violence has become in international relations, the more it has gained in reputation and appeal in domestic affairs, specifically in the matter of revolution.
I was the first blogger on the Times’s website. That happened during the Iraq war, when I wanted an outlet for the things I was seeing every day that couldn’t fit into just two columns a week. Then I became interested in using multimedia, specifically as a way to engage young people.
The Republican platform specifically says we don’t believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.
I specifically left the corporate world so I could wear T-shirts, blue jeans, and honestly, I always wanted to be my own boss.
Every legislative meeting on how to pass health care, the communications director or someone from the communications team would be a part of because we did a lot of press interviews when we were trying to pass the Affordable Care Act specifically designed to help pass the bill.
I am happy to join Selina Majors in providing women with a fully comprehensive training program designed specifically for them. I was trained by men, and while that worked for me, I know a more supportive community for women wanting to join our profession will increase the participation.
Throughout my career I’ve played a lot of parts that might’ve been played by a man. They’re human roles rather than specifically men or women. I’ve never been as hooked into that as a lot of women are, you know, like, ‘There aren’t enough roles for women.’ There aren’t necessarily a lot of good roles for anybody.
I don’t have any other skills. Some artists say that to mean that their embodied passion for art gave them no choice. I say it, very specifically, to say that I really didn’t have any other options.
Around the time that I was in high school, a lot of rappers were coming out with mixtapes of them rapping over other people’s instrumentals, specifically Young Money.
For the last several years and culminating in six months in orbit next year, I’ve been training for my third space flight. This one is almost in a category completely different than the previous two, specifically to live in on the space station for six months, to command a space ship and to fly a new rocket ship.
I think that in all aspects of the game, especially in professional sports but specifically in hockey, we want to grow the game.
To suggest that God specifically created a worm to torture small African children is blasphemy as far as I can see. The Archbishop of Canterbury doesn’t believe that.

The rolling contract was designed to specifically take away some of that retirement talk and retirement issue.
There’s sadness to anyone that dies before their time, and specifically ones that seem to affect people in a positive way. It doesn’t matter if it’s Whitney Houston or a nameless, faceless person on the street. That’s just as big of a tragedy for me.
To stay in one time zone and play in a great conference – a great all-around conference, but, specifically, a great basketball conference – is a great thing.
One of the things that has puzzled me the most in my years of serious mystery reading is why there are relatively few standout books geared specifically for middle grade and young adult readers.
I don’t want to put on any gimmicky layers just to give the character more definition. I just want to play good characters. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s ‘open ethnicity’ or ‘specifically Asian.’
I remember specifically, in the summer of 2002, the rate of women infected with HIV/AIDS was beginning to match the rate of men, and nobody was talking about it. It was as if it was on nobody else’s radar. I had made up my mind to do something about it.
We love pop and the U.K. specifically seems to embrace pop and it’s so cool.
‘Billy Elliot’ prides itself on being a family show, and it made sense to specifically cater to a family audience with an earlier evening curtain time.
We interviewed many, many men and women from the NYPD and the NYPD Intelligence Division, specifically, and they’re really good, dedicated people who want to keep the city safe.
Globalisation, and specifically our connectivity to China, has contributed to a sustained growth in the U.S. economy, has led to full employment and has benefited consumers with lower-cost, high-quality goods.
I feel like if I consider myself comfortable in something, then that’s not exactly where I want to be. And in ‘Jane the Virgin’ specifically, I feel like I don’t have to choose… We get to do drama and comedy sometimes within the same thirty seconds.
My ‘Black Panther’ run really wasn’t about Black Panther. It was about Ross. It was about exploding myths about black superheroes, black characters, and black people, targeted specifically at a white, male-dominated retailer base.
A lot of screenwriters write certain characters, certain parts, with actors in mind. I don’t really tend to do that. I describe them as specifically as I can, but I don’t really picture anyone in particular.
It’s because I work in ethics, and, more specifically, applied ethics, that I think it’s important that if you have things to say that you think are right and you think could make the world a better place, it’s important that many people read about them.
For a while, I was feeling like I was always playing characters that weren’t specifically Korean or specifically Asian, even – that they were characters who were originally written white, and then they would cast me. And I used to consider that a badge of honor because that meant I had avoided stereotypes.
At a very early age I knew I wanted to be an actor and then more specifically that I wanted to be on Broadway and be in musicals.

There’s a kind of optimism specifically within Christianity about the world – about whose side God is on. Well, I didn’t have any of that in my background. I had physicality and chaos.
It’s troubling that by eliminating weekend voting hours, the state of Ohio specifically banned a popular voting time of choice for minorities. In Cuyahoga County, which I represent, 56 percent of weekend voters in 2008 were African American while adult African Americans comprise 28 percent of the county population.
I don’t really generate material specifically for the Kingsway Music Library. It’s just a product of the way I work.
I think you can expect Sony, in the case of PSP specifically, to deliver a technology that is going to reinvent and change handheld entertainment, and take it to a brand new level.
I had some wonderful dreaming meetings. I can’t tell you specifically what they’ve been in the recent months. In the past they’ve been verbal kinds of messages that he needed to give me. Now they’re more dreams of his presence.
I suppose you could sum up the religious aspects of my boyhood by saying it was a time of life when I was taught the difference between right and wrong as it specifically applied to Catholicism.
I don’t concern myself with thinking ahead to the finished product. I focus more specifically on what the character is experiencing. Once you relieve yourself of the very arbitrary and always punishing pressure of what an audience is expecting you to do, acting becomes a lot more fun and pure.
