Q&A: Billionaire George Soros Shares His Wealth - TIME

Are you optimistic at all about how this financial crisis is going to play out?

I'm on the record having said this is unlike other crises, and it's the most serious crisis we've faced and it will have long-term repercussions. It's the end of an era, and there will have to be major adjustments. Those who expect that we will return to business as usual don't understand what's happening.

“Whitespace,” or “negative space” is the space between elements in a composition. More specifically, the space between major elements in a composition is “macro whitespace.” Micro whitespace, is—yes, you’ve guessed it—the space between smaller elements: between list items, between a caption and an image, or between words and letters.

Badly translated ad at Facebook

Not sure what to say about this… if you understand Finnish, you
understand how badly someone has used English-Finnish dictionary with
no real skills of either language. Hopefully… there is hope for people
using Facebook to see even some well-written ads.
