Competitiveness is really what it costs you per man-hour to get you what you want. In other words, there’s an education level that plays into the mix and so if it’s inexpensive to buy an hour of real good education in places like China versus the U.S., that factors in.
I always thought it’d be fun to write something, but it never was an ambition of mine, per se.
I don’t think of competition as much as journalists think I do. Our strategy has been very different from Uber. We are very focused on building as per the Indian dynamics.
Five hours a week of vigorous aerobic exercise can lower estrogen and progesterone exposure by about 20 per cent.
My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn’t much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn’t even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.
We each take up one virtual space per title… Virtual shelf life is forever. In a bookstore, you have anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to sell your title, and then it gets returned. This is a big waste of money, and no incentive at all for the bookseller to move the book.
I spent a career carrying typically either an M16 or an M4 Carbine. An M4 Carbine fires a .223 caliber round, which is 5.56 mm at about 3000 feet per second.
I won 21 titles in seven years: three titles per year playing in this way. I’m sorry, guys. I’m not going to change.
I post pictures that I want to post and say what I want to say. If that’s three times a day or three times per month, then whatever.
For me, every tournament is important, and I feel that if I don’t go into them with 100 per cent focus, I will not be ready for the Grand Slams.
Edge goes out every night, and not just on pay per views; every night, Edge goes out there with the intention of stealing the show. I know that he felt like his title run had not been given the respect from the company that it deserved, and he was really hell-bent on proving that he belonged as a main event guy.
I’m not an impressionist, per se, but if you do any kind of comedy – and they ask you to do that, most of the time – there’s some degree of appreciation, I think, involving somebody you like.
I like to do matrices. One option per line, different facets for each column. Salary, location, happiness index, failure index, and all that.
Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.
Ninety-nine per cent of opening bands stink.
London’s inspired my wardrobe 100 per cent. Layering and having cool coats. The Brits just do it right.
I mean, when I started out I was billing per hour, like a shrink because you would sit with somebody and work. But most of it, if it’s for a live show it’s usually a buy-out. A flat fee.
We are not out to boast that there is so much percentage of growth per year. Our real concern is how it affects the lives of people, the future of our country.
It is commonly agreed that children spend more hours per year watching television than in the classroom, and far less in actual conversation with their parents.
One way or another, we need to understand that broadband is essentially telephone service, and just as we got to telephone service in the United States to one hundred per cent, we need to do it for broadband.
My dad was a really funny, really talented guy who had a great success in a limited audience. But from him, I learned that he always felt the audience was entitled to 150 per cent. If he was performing at an event, he’d keep playing until the last person had finished dancing.
I love shopping! I look for new shopping portals. I keep buying a lot of stuff online. I don’t follow any one person per se, but if I feel that the particular wear will look good on me, I pick it up without thinking.
I don’t worry too much about learning lines per se. The memorization is the easy part for me, usually. For me, it’s more about working on the context, back story, intention, motivation, etc. Once that’s in place, the lines come pretty naturally.
We always try to make every song we do sound like a track. It’s vocal, but we want it to be really full so no one really can even know if it’s a cappella. It’s not like it’s missing anything, per se.
God knows I’ve had productions where there were actors in my plays who were making more money per week than I was.
I understand 100 per cent why someone would want to buy Newcastle United. It’s very clear: it has the potential to be one of the top sides.
What makes tar sands particularly odious is that the energy you get out in the end, per unit carbon dioxide, is poor. It’s equivalent to burning coal in your automobile.
What I think is if the world is in some difficulty – about climate change, about economics – then we had better make sure that 100 per cent of every brain available on the planet is working at full pelt to try to sort these things out.
The whole reason I moved to the U.S. to be coached by Alberto Salazar is to be able to improve 1 or 2 per cent. I was sick of coming sixth in the world, seventh in the world, and get close to a medal, but not quite there, half-a-second.
I’ll be amazed in my lifetime if my business gets to being 5 per cent online.
We, Homo sapiens, destroyed the majority of the large mammalian species in North America and Australasia just over 10,000 years ago. We, Homo sapiens, now are destroying the other species that presently exist on this planet at a rate of about 15,000 to 20,000 per year.
Obviously, as long as I enjoy it, I’m fit, and have the desire to work 100 per cent every day with the same motivation, then I want to play.
I usually do about five drafts per rhyme for each song.
What happened in Queensland is that people are facing high unemployment relative to other states – 5.7 per cent when I last checked.
Puerto Rico’s participation per capita in the armed forces is more than most states, yet they can’t vote for their commander in chief.
Online one day, you log in, and you realise, ‘This is not me.’ Everything you’re posting, you’re doing it in the context of everything you’ve posted before. Let’s delete everything, save the stuff that’s important, and then you only have to organise the one per cent that’s worth keeping.
Offers for me to play dances, society parties, even churches, were now coming in regularly. For most dates I was paid the sum of one dollar per hour, and they always tipped me at the end of the night.
What happens to boys in tech is in many ways different than what happens to girls in tech. it’s not that they’re facing sexism per se: it’s that they don’t think it’s cool. So I think we really have to change the way we present technology.
The fact that we’re catching more fish per person than we’ve ever done before doesn’t mean that there are not particular places where we’ve managed fisheries badly.
When Katrina hit, my family lost everything – their homes, jobs, friends – and then it was a ripple effect, as so many others attached to them were affected. I had to come up with $12,000 per month to take care of everyone.
Obama broke his no-new-taxes pledge 15 days after he took office when he signed legislation on Feb. 4, 2009 raising the tax on cigarettes 158 percent – 62 cents per pack.
Sixty per cent of people entering prison today are illiterate.
I know people like myself where we’ve got resorts, or we’re in the hospitality business, and we just can’t make money because you’re paying someone minimum $42 per hour or something on a Sunday.
I perform a role as per the requirements of the script. When it comes to work, I don’t have any personal choice with regards to glam or de-glam. As an actor, I enjoy doing everything.
I have a concept of Naples that is not so much of a city, per se, but rather an ingredient of the human spirit that I detect in everyone, Neapolitan or not. The idea that ‘Neapolitanism’ and mass ignorance are somehow indissolubly linked is one that I am prepared to fight with all the strength I have.
A lot of rap songs don’t usually have a lot of melody per se.
Yes, I will sign a film for the money. Because sometimes you don’t have the money to eat, and you have to get work and maintain a lifestyle. Not just actors – I think everybody does that. No job on this planet is about 100 per cent satisfaction. You do some part of the job for money.
It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them; the fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations, and this speed is about a kilometre per second.
Getting back to 100 per cent is one thing, but working at 100 per cent is something else entirely. And given one of my main goals has always been improving my skill set, to do that, I need to be working out at 100 per cent.
All renewables, much as I love them, are diffuse. They all have a small power per unit area, and we have to live with that fact.
Putting, say, an 85 per cent income tax rate is unlikely to bring in much revenue.
I do probably 80 or 90 per cent of the cooking at home.
My guitar survived Kosovo, then I went to visit a record company back in London and fell off my motorbike with it on my back, smashing it to bits. I was travelling at two miles per hour.
About one or two songs per record is me doing a little bloodletting.
