I think the ethos for Gov. Romney is to use a whole variety of policies, of which tax policy is one, to try to raise the rate of growth.

I think sometimes you can be around somebody and take in certain energy and read certain things and you don't know why your neck is stiff.

People will say, 'How do I get abs like you?' I don't know. We're all different. If my girlfriend did what I did, hiking and yoga for a workout, it would affect her body in a different way. That's the message that I really want to get out there. I'm trying to counteract that culture.

When everything is moving and shifting, the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. When things feel extraordinary, strive for ordinary. When the surface is wavy, dive deeper for quieter waters.

Think of 'counteract' as pushing back against a force, idea, or trend to lessen its impact.

Opposing Force

'Counteract' usually involves a process or effort over time, not an immediate cancellation of effects.

Not Instant

Using 'counteract' does not guarantee complete negation; it means to diminish the strength or effect.

Regular exercise is also widely thought to improve sleeping patterns, which comes in handy the night before a test.

 To become an upstander means instead of bystander apathy, we can post a positive comment for someone or report a bullying situation. Trust me, compassionate comments help abate the negativity. We can also counteract the culture by supporting organizations that deal with these kinds of issues,

 Each of these figures bordering the painting are horribly trapped, giving the work an acute sense of claustrophobia. And where you might expect the canvas’ massive size to counteract this feeling, its scale only highlights the nearly life-sized atrocities on display.

Why is this painting so...

 to hold their bodies up against gravity. In water, the situation is quite different. Buoyancy counteracts the gravitational pull on the body and their great bulk is therefore partially supported by the water. So, the ocean is a great place for species

Why are blue whales so...

 as soon as you and your board first hit the water. The board’s size and light construction help it displace a lot of water. In turn, a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced water pushes up, counteracting you and your board’s weight.

 because the external water pressure counteracts the internal forces resulting from elevation difference. Whether it’s with the intensity of a fire hydrant or a squirt gun, this system swiftly delivers our urine to the outside world.

The other "Golden Rule"...

 that counteracts the force of gravity. The reason for dark energy's existence is unclear. One theory states that it's the fifth force of nature. Yet another says it may help explain why the universe is expanding.
