On October 15, 1965, an estimated 70,000 people took part in large-scale anti-war demonstrations.
Geoengineering involves humans making intentional, large-scale modifications to the Earths geophysical systems in order to change the environment.
American cities are not scaled to the energy diet of the future. They have become too large. They're over-scaled.
You must scale the mountain if you want to view the plain.
You must scale the mountains if you would view the plain.
Large-scale change is grounded in small steps toward a big idea
As humanity goes online, it's becoming an extremely advanced, large-scale processing unit.
People who face too many demands - two careers, two children - often scale back somehow. The Obamas scaled up.
What emerged, of course, was that the magnitude scale presupposed that all earthquakes were alike except for a constant scaling factor. And this proved to be closer to the truth than we expected.
Not all the words that were ever uttered are worth weighing on golden scales.
Everything that creates itself upon the backs of smaller scales will by those same scales be consumed.
Incidentally, the usual designation of the magnitude scale to my name does less than justice to the great part that Dr. Gutenberg played in extending the scale to apply to earthquakes in all parts of the world.
There is another common misapprehension that the magnitude scale is itself some kind of instrument or apparatus. Visitors will frequently ask to 'see the scale.'
I suppose subconsciously I was thinking in terms of having the scale of it matching the scale of the images. Hence the sort of string quartet, jazz band and electronic stuff.
Scales always lie. They don't make a scale that ever told the truth about value, about worth, about significance.
Technology has made it easier for different firms to coordinate their activities with one another, and they don't have to be part of one company. They can get the benefits of scale without the inertia of scale.
Grit drives people to succeed, especially when they face daunting and prolonged challenges—a hallmark of every scaling effort. (Scaling Up Excellence)
It was what Aunty Ifeoma did to my cousins, I realized then, setting higher and higher jumps for them in the way she talked to them, in what she expected of them. She did it all the time believing they would scale the rod. And they did. It was differ...
This would be a distortion of their meaning, since the pictures are intimate and intense, and are the opposite of what is decorative; and have been painted in a scale of normal living rather than an institutional scale.
The truth is that painting is all about scale; you use scale to create experience. A lot of artists have lost that ability. They don't even know that's something they should be doing.
I soon realised that what had happened on a small scale cannot necessarily be repeated on a larger scale. The stones were so big that the amount of heat required was prohibitively expensive and wasteful.
