Oakland lays claim to being the third largest "downtown" in Pennsylvania after Center City Philadelphia and Downtown Pittsburgh. It is stuffed with museums, prestigious universities, fabled eateries, live entertainment venues, public art, spiritual centers and a huge quotient of "hipness."
In 1905, Franklin Nicola, who had purchased land from the estate of Mary Schenley two years earlier, put forth a development plan in the City Beautiful style, then sweeping across America, for Oakland. The City Beautiful movement favored boulevards, parks, and formal civic buildings in the Beaux-Arts style evoking ancient Greece and the Italian Renaissance. Although Nicola's plan was not fully implemented, including a never-constructed Oakland town hall, it produced several important landmarks. Oakland, is in fact, now home to three historic districts: The Schenley Farms National Historic District, the Oakland Civic Center Historic District and the Oakland Square Historic District.
Other major landmark buildings were added to Oakland after the pursuit of Nicola's designs had ended, including the landmark Cathedral of Learning and Heinz Memorial Chapel of the University of Pittsburgh and Andrew Carnegie's contributions to the school he founded and the massive civic project that eventually became the Carnegie Museums and Library.
Our walking tour will travel down the two main thoroughfares that bustle with activity through Oakland, Forbes Avenue and Fifth Avenue, but first we'll begin in the bucolic open spaces of a great city park that was donated by a girl who ran away to elope when she was just a teenager......
Schenley Park
Boulevard of the Allies
Mary Elizabeth Croghan did not spend much of her 77 years in Pittsburgh, but few have matched her lasting influence on the city. Born near Louisville in 1826, Mary was the daughter of frontier businessman James O'Hara's daughter and as her mother's only heir stood to inherit large tracts of Pittsburgh land. That inheritance was jeopardized when, at the age of 15 in a Staten Island boarding school, she eloped with a 43-year old British sea captain named Edward Schenley. The incident became a highly publicized scandal on both sides of the Atlantic, not helped by the fact that Captain Schenley was AWOL from his post in British Guiana at the time and it was his third elopement. Mary's enraged father voided her inheritance by an act of the state legislature. Years later after he had calmed down, the two reconciled in England and in 1850 she received her full inheritance. Through the years she donated freely to Pittsburgh churches and public schools and in 1889 she gave the land that would becomethe 456-acre Schenley Park.
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
One Schenley Drive
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in the park was a gift to Pittsburgh from steel and real estate baron Henry Phipps in 1893. Phipps directed the building of a splendid Victorian glasshouse designed by the renowned architectural firm of Lord and Burnham. Today Phipps Conservatory is one of the largest celebrations of botanical diversity in the country.
Frick Fine Arts Building
Schenley Drive
The Frick Fine Arts building, home of the University of Pittsburgh's History of Art and Architecture Department and Studio Arts Department, houses famous reproductions of 15th-century Florentine Renaissance artworks by Russian Artist Nicholas Lochoff. In 1911, Lochoff was commissioned by Moscow Museum of Fine Arts to travel to Italy and make a series of copies of the finest examples of Renaissance Art. Those copies, considered by some to be the closest replicas to the original works, came to the United States and were acquired by the University and placed in the Fine Arts building. The building's Italian Renaissance architecture, complete with a cloister-style inner courtyard, makes it truly unique in Pittsburgh. The fountain outside the Frick Fine Arts building was designed by Victor Brenner, the same man who sculpted the portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the U.S. penny.
Forbes Field Site
Bouquet Street at Roberto Clemente Drive and Sennott Street
This was the location of one of the most storied ballparks in baseball history - Forbes Field. Named for General John Forbes, the British general in the French and Indian War who captured Fort Duquesne and renamed it Fort Pitt in 1758, the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates opened on June 30, 1909. The stadium saw Pittsburgh World Championships in 1909, 1925 and 1960, all in seven games. The Pirates never lost a World Series in Forbes Field. It closed in 1970 and was demolished on July 28. 1971. Babe Ruth hit the last three of his 714 regular season home runs in Forbes Field as a member of the Boston Braves on Saturday, May 25, 1935. It was reported in the papers several days later that the final blow, which was the first ever to clear the then 10 year old right field roof, came to rest on the roof of 318 Boquet Street, a rowhouse which survives to this day. Today a plaque marks the spot where the most famous home run in World Series history, Bill Mazeroski's Game 7-winning homer left the park in 1960 and flew into the trees. The center-field and right-center brick walls still stand, along with the base of the flagpole. Home plate remains in almost its exact original location, and is now encased in glass on the first-floor walkway of the University of Pittsburgh's Wesley W. Posvar Hall across the street.
Stephen Foster Memorial
4301 Forbes Avenue
The Stephen Collins Foster Memorial is an academic facility of the University of Pittsburgh conceived In 1927 when the Tuesday Musical Club, founded in 1889 by affluent female musicians, and University of Pittsburgh Chancellor John Bowman agreed to collaborate on a performance hall dedicated to native son Stephen Foster that would house the club's recitals. The main structure houses the two theaters: the 478-seat Charity Randall Theatre and 151-seat Henry Heymann Theatre. The left wing of the building houses the Stephen Foster Memorial Museum and the Center for American Music which contains the University of Pittsburgh's Foster Hall Collection that includes manuscripts, copies of over 200 of his musical compositions, examples of recordings, songsters, broadside, programs, books, various memorabilia, and several musical instruments, including one of Foster's pianos.
University of Pittsburgh Log Cabin
Forbes Avenue opposite Schenley Plaza
Tradition holds that the University of Pittsburgh, then the Pittsburgh Academy in the 1780s, began life in a log cabin. Not this one though. That long-ago classroom was replaced by a brick building in the 1790s downtown near the Point. That building, and most of Pittsburgh, was destroyed by fires in the 1840s, taking most of the school records with it. This particular cabin, from Yatesboro, Pennsylvania, was purchased at an auction for $1,000 by Charles Fagan III, who donated it to the university. It was placed here to commemorate the university's bicentennial in 1987,
Cathedral of Learning
Forbes Avenue
The Cathedral of Learning is the second-tallest education building in the world―42 stories and 535 feet tall. It is also the geographic and traditional heart of the University of Pittsburgh campus. Begun by Chancellor John Bowman in 1926 and dedicated in 1937, the building was realized with the help of contributions from men, women, and children throughout the region and the world. During the peak of the Depression, when funding for the project became especially challenging, school children were encouraged to contribute a dime to "buy a brick." In addition to the magnificent three-story "Commons Room" at ground level, behind its 2,529 windows the Cathedral of Learning also contains classrooms (including the internationally renowned Nationality Classrooms), the University's administrative offices, libraries, a computer center, and a restaurant.
Carnegie Museums and Library
4400 Forbes Avenue
The establishment of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh was forecast in a letter, November 25, 1881, from Andrew Carnegie to the Mayor of Pittsburgh in which Mr. Carnegie offered to donate $250,000 for a free library, provided the City would agree to provide the land and appropriate $15,000 annually for its maintenance. This offer could not be accepted, because at that time Pittsburgh was not authorized to expend funds to maintain a public library. Ten years later the City was legally allowed to accept the offer but Pittsburgh had grown so much since the original offer that Carnegie upped his commitment to a million dollars for A larger building combining reference and circulating libraries, art galleries, and meeting rooms for learned societies. The original building was designed by Longfellow, Alden & Harlow in 1895 and, with millions more of Carnegie's dollars, a major addition came in 1907. Today the immense Institute building is actually a multi-purpose complex of library, lecture hall, music hall, natural science museum and art museum hosting more than one million visitors a year.
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church
419 South Dithridge Street at Forbes Avenue
St. Nicholas can trace its membership back to the turn of the century, when many of the first Greek immigrants made their way to Pittsburgh. Among them were men who were enlisted by the city's early industrialists to paint the buildings and smokestacks of the iron and steel mills. The present church with Greek portico was purchased in 1923. It was built in 1904 as the 1st Congregational Church.
Heinz Chapel
115 Federal Street
The non-denominational Neo-Gothic Chapel's origins lie with Henry John Heinz, the founder of the H.J. Heinz Company. His will made arrangements to honor his mother, Anna Margaretta Heinz, with a building at the University. The building, designed by Charles Z. Klauder, was dedicated in 1938, featuring carved limestone walls, oak woodwork, and ironwork from craftsmen from throughout the northeastern United States. Its 23 exquisitely detailed stained glass windows depict 391 sacred and secular figures who are famous in religion, history, medicine, science, and the arts. The 73-foot transept windows buy C. Connick Studios are among the tallest in the world and depict an equal number of women and men.
Bellefield Hall
315 South Bellefield Avenue
Bellefield Hall, constructed in 1924, was designed by architect Benno Janssen by combining the facades of the Italianate Palazzo Piccolomini delle Papesse in Siena with the the 18th-century Lee House at Stratford in Virginia for the Flemish-bond brick finish and the high basement. Bellefield Hall, a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark, was originally home to the Young Men's and Women's Hebrew Association and is today home to a variety of University of Pittsburgh offices and services, most notably the old athletic association pool. The iron work for the lamps at the classical entranceway was done by Samuel Yellin.
Bellefield Towers
northeast corner of Bellefield Avenue and Fifth Avenue
The First United Presbyterian Church was displaced from downtown Pittsburgh in 1896 and built a new Gothic home on this corner. In the 1960s the church merged with the nearby Bellefield church which became an official Presbyterian church in 1866 on the former Bellefield Farm that once occupied most of what became eastern Oakland. The congregation traces its origins to a small prayer group in the 1830s. The new, united congregation moved away but left the building with the more historic Bellefield moniker. When the property was developed in the 1980s as a residential complex the church's distinctive bell tower was retained and the whole complex took the adopted Bellefield name.
Mellon Institute
southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and South Bellefield Avenue
Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, founded in 1913 by Andrew W. Mellon and Richard B. Mellon, merged with the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1967 to form Carnegie Mellon University. While it ceased to exist as a distinct institution, the landmark building bearing its name remains. Designed by architect Benno Janssen, the building which would seem low in height but three floors were built into rock below the street level, natural light being provided by interior courts. The entrance to the edifice, from the gradually-ascending steps shown, is at the fourth story. The monumental colonnade of 62 Ionic limestone columns is the largest in the world, completed and dedicated posthumously to the Mellon brothers in May 1937.
St. Paul's Cathedral
northwest corner of Fifth Avenue and Craig Street
The first Roman Catholic Cathedral was sited in downtown Pittsburgh on Grant Street, exactly where Henry Frick wanted to build his Union Trust building. Money trumped history and the church took Frick's dollars and commissioned Egan & Prindeville Architects in 1906, for this commanding house of worship with English and German Gothic features.
Fairfax Apartment Building
4614 Fifth Avenue
The Fairfax Apartment Building was designed by P.M. Julian in 1926. The Fairfax has features coats of arms, Scottish strap work and the use of terra cotta molded decorations.
Central Catholic High School
4720 Fifth Street
The castle-like building Central Catholic High School, a designated historic landmark, is one of the most architecturally significant in Western Pennsylvania. Built in Flemish Gothic style by E.J. Weber in 1927 with soaring towers and stabilizing buttresses in patterns of light and dark-colored bricks.
First Church of Christ, Scientist
635 Clyde Street at Fifth Avenue
This church was designed by S. S. Beman in 1904. Beman had made a reputation for Chicago skyscrapers but across the country he achieved acclaim for his Christian Science churches, including the Mother Church in Boston. Notice the porch on this building.
Holy Spirit Byzantine Catholic Church
4815 Fifth Avenue
During the first decade of the twentieth century, immigrants from Carpatho-Ruthenia, a small portion of the vast Austro-Hungarian Empire, began to settle in the Oakland section of the City of Pittsburgh, lured by the promise of a better life in the City's steel mills. The congregation organized in 1907 and the present church, notable for its mosaic wall depicting the Old testament prophets, was dedicated in 1962.
4802 Fifth Avenue
These are the studios of WQED, the first educational television station in the country.
Rodef Shalom
4905 Fifth Avenue
Rodef Shalom, the oldest Jewish Congregation in Western Pennsylvania and the largest Reform congregation in the area, was chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1856, though its origins go back to the late 1840s. Architect Henry Hornbostel used local cream-colored brick, handmade Guastavino tiles and terra cotta to create this traditional synagogue in 1907. On the grounds is the largest biblical botanical garden in North America (1/3 acre) and the only one with an ongoing program of research and publication. Visitors are able to experience the land of the Bible in a setting that includes a waterfall, a desert, a stream and the Jordan River, which meanders through the garden from Lake Galilee to the Dead Sea. All of the plants in the garden are labeled with biblical verses accompanying them. The garden features more than 100 temperate and tropical plants in addition to special new program plantings each year. See wheat, barley, millet and many herbs grown by the ancient Israelites along with olives, dates, pomegranates, figs, and cedars. The gardens are open during the summer.
Mudge House
5000 Forbes Avenue at southwest corner of Morewod Avenue
In 1958, industrialist Edmund W. Mudge, a pig iron and coke magnate, donated their bow-fronted Fifth Avenue mansion to Carnegie Mellon University. It has been used ever since as student housing.
U.S. Bureau of Mines/Hamburg Hall
4800 Forbes Avenue
The northwestern part of the Carnegie-Mellon campus was acquired from the U.S. Bureau of Mines in the 1980s. This Beaux Art building, designed by Henry Hornbostel, was dedicated in 1917 as the Pittsburgh Experiment Station. Here, at the largest of the Bureau's test stations, investigations were conducted on first-aid and rescue methods, fuel problems, petroleum uses and chemical research. Today it is a school administration building.
Hammerschlag Hall
5000 Forbes Avenue
Andrew Carnegie and William H. Frew, chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Carnegie Institute and Carnegie's lawyer in Pittsburgh, hired New York electrical wizard Arthur Hamerschlag in 1903 as the first director of the fledgling Carnegie Technical Schools. Its aim was not to compete with the nearby University of Pittsburgh, but to provide practical vocational training in the industrial trades and to offer 3-year diplomas, not bachelor's degrees. Hamerschlag built the campus in partnership with Carnegie himself and the architect Henry Hornbostel. But progress was slow. Industrial unions had their own apprenticeship programs, and it was challenging to attract and retain faculty, most of whom preferred to work for degree-granting institutions. So in 1912, the Carnegie Technical Schools were renamed Carnegie Institute of Technology. Hamerschlag then led the development of bachelor's and master's degree programs, and the college took off. Hammerschlag Hall, now the home of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was positioned to ride the crest of Junction Hollow and to be a towering, commanding focal point for the college campus.

Hundred Stories' plan included the implementation of a first-of-its-kind partnership with Barton and Gray. Through this partnership, residents will enjoy a luxury yacht amenity that will grant them access to perks only afforded to Barton & Gray members. (Prior to this partnership, the only way one could access or charter a yacht through Barton & Gray was by joining the company's exclusive membership program, which starts at $20,000 and goes as high as $50,000 a year.)
To announce this partnership, Hundred Stories planned and executed an extraordinary event for New York City's top brokers featuring a yacht cruise down the East River, followed by a seated dinner at the Michelin-Starred River Café. The event is still talked about as one of the most exciting real estate events of the year.

Judiciary chairman seeks information on FBI email investigation
Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked the FBI Friday to explain if it's investigation into newly discovered emails will include whether Hillary Clinton tried to conceal evidence once she left the State Department.
In a letter to FBI Director James Comey, Grassley asked for details about the search warrant the the FBI obtained related to newly discovered emails on Clinton's private server that were discovered on former Rep. Anthony Weiner's computer. Grassley asks for a response by Nov. 17.
"Now, according to news reports, the FBI has finally obtained access to emails pertinent to this matter through a search warrant rather than through the consent of those being investigated," Grassley wrote. "However, it is unclear whether the scope of the email review now being done will be similarly limited to only the timeframe when Secretary Clinton was at the State Department. Obviously, any potential evidence of intent to conceal information from investigators would have been created during the investigations, which occurred after the she left office, not before."
Grassley has previously questioned the limited scope of searches conducted on other Clinton aides' computers and the limited inquiry into just classified information, which excluded the intentional alienation of federal records, subverting the Freedom of Information Act process, and obstruction of Congress.
Comey created an uproar with a letter to Congress saying the agency was launching another investigation into Clinton's personal email server just 11 days before the presidential election.

What's Happening In Art This Week
Painters' Paintings
The National Gallery in London explores the connections between painters and the paintings they possess themselves. Inspiration comes from works in the National Gallery Collection that were once owned by painters like Freud, Matisse, Degas and Van Dyck. The exhibit investigates why painters bought other painters'works and looks at the relation between the painters and the work. On display is work that spans over 500 years of painting history, of which about half are loans from public and private collections.
Painters' Paintings runs until the 4th of September 2016.
The National Gallery of Singapore hosts a new large scale sculpture by Singaporean artist Chun Kai Feng on their roof garden gallery. This white totem is inspired by the concrete benches seen on the ground of the Housing Development Board estates, but in this case the benches are white and glossy instead of grey and simple. Chun Kai Feng graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2010 and makes works based on ordinary urban elements.
Totem is free to visit daily at the Ng Teng Roof Garden Gallery.
Rester Vivant
The Palais de Tokyo has been taken over by writer Michael Houellebecq this summer, as he creates "Rester Vivant" ("Staying Alive"). The show, which opened on the 23rd of June, has been veiled in mystery until now. According to the museum, it will demonstrate how the writer has produced a form that contributes to the reinvention of exhibitions, by mixing up literature and photography, fact and fiction. The exhibit is made up of sounds, photographs, installations and films by Houellebecq, plus work of guest artists like Robert Combas and Maurice Renoma.
Rester Vivant is on until September 11th, 2016, daily except Tuesdays from noon until midnight.
Light, Time, Legacy
The British Museum is still showing a free exhibit of Francis Towne's watercolours of Rome. Towne (1739-1816) made these during a visit to Rome in 1780-1781 and they include famous monuments like the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Forum. The 52 views of Rome are among the great creative landmarks in the history of British watercolour art and were also key to Towne's re-appreciation in the 20th century.
The Roman watercolours are free to visit until the 24th of August, 2016.
Notion Motion
Olafur Eliasson is everywhere this year, it seems. MuseumBoymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, has just opened his installation from 2005, "Notion Motion". This edition of the installation has been remade especially for the 1500m2 Bodongallery. Three different light projections show the connection between light and water and looks at vibrations and waves.
Boymans van Beuningen hosts Notion Motion until the 18th of September, 2016.

Do Your Part: Be a green beach bum this summer
Mon., May 21, 2012
Are you one of millions who will enjoy some of the summer sun at the beach? Did you know that some of the choices we make at home and while on vacation can actually contaminate the very same waters we can't wait to get in?
It starts at home
Even if you live hundreds of miles away from the beach, you could still be polluting our oceans. That's because what you let go down the drain, or put on your lawn and garden, can actually wind up in the ocean. So what's a beach lover to do? First, don't let household hazardous waste get in our water supply. Keep motor oil out of storm drains, properly dispose of pet waste, and make sure grease doesn't go down the sink. Excess nutrients are another major source of contamination. When we use too much fertilizer in our yards, the excess is picked up by stormwater runoff and dumped into waterways. This nutrient overload causes algae to bloom which removes oxygen from the water.
Be informed about your beach
You might feel a little seasick once you find out how your beach ranks in terms of water quality. High amounts of bacterial pollution accounted for more than 24,000 beach closings and advisories in 2010. Bacterial pollution in beach waters can give swimmers everything from pink eye to hepatitis. Keep track of what is going on at your vacation destination by checking out the National Resource Defense Council's updated guide or the EPA's online quality reports.
Take care while you're there
Taking care of our beautiful beaches doesn't end once we arrive. I pack a picnic basket filled with snacks in reusable containers and reusable water bottles. When we're done for the day, I bring it all home. The critical thing is that all the items get disposed of properly and nothing winds up in the water where it can hurt marine life and water quality.

National Geographic : 1918 May
THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE available. This completed, they set busily at work nights to raid the food supply of the owner and hide it in suitable storage places, such as a crevice among boxes, an old shoe or a pocket in a garment hung on the wall. Their depredations usually cause so much exaspera tion that the camper overlooks the grace and beauty of his visitors and makes every effort to destroy them. If the occupants of such camps would keep their supplies in mouse-proof containers and would then feed their wood land friends, they would find them quickly re sponsive and most attractive guests. In their native haunts these mice have habits varying with varying conditions. On brushy plains they burrow in the ground, while in the woods they sometimes burrow under rocks, stumps, and logs, or live in hollows in stumps and trees. As nimble in climbing as squirrels, many live in hollow trees sometimes more than fifty feet above the ground. That our inability to see at night prevents more than an occasional glimpse at the doings of the small animals which often swarm all about us was impressed on me at one of my camps in the desert of Lower California. My blankets were spread under a small leafless tree growing near the base of a rocky ledge, in the crevices of which many relatives of the white footed mice were living. The first morning in camp I awoke as the sky began to pale and color with the approach of day. The dry branches of the tree a few feet overhead be came sharply silhouetted against the sky, reveal ing several of the mice running up and down them and leaping from twig to twig with all the active grace of tiny squirrels. The mice appeared to be racing about in pure playful enjoyment of the exercise, and when the light had increased sufficiently to render objects on the ground distinct they suddenly ran down the tree trunk and vanished in a crevice in the rocks. This game was repeated on several succeeding mornings and is no doubt commonly indulged in where conditions are favorable. White-footed mice feed mainly on many kinds of seeds and nuts and vary this diet with snails, insects, and sometimes with the flesh of dead birds or other mice. As they do not hi bernate they lay up abundant stores of grain and seeds of many kinds in addition to a vari ety of nuts, as acorns, beech nuts, pine nuts, maple seeds, and others, according to the local ity. The stores are hidden in hollows in logs, stumps, trees, or in the ground. When in cap tivity they have shown themselves expert in catching flies, sometimes capturing them with their teeth and again with their front paws used with all the dexterity of little hands. Several litters of young containing from three to seven each are born, the first usually appearing in spring and the last in fall. The young are blind and helpless at birth, and in this condition cling so tenaciously to the moth er's teats that when she is frightened from the nest they are often carried off attached to her. Some individuals at least of the white-footed mice, like others of the genus Peromyscus, are known to have a prolonged and musical song. It is a fine warbling ditty, a little like the song of a canary. A number of good observers have recorded these performances, but they appear to be so infrequent that most people with woodland experience have never heard them. The lives of these mice are passed in con stant fear of a host of enemies. IHawks and owls, bluejays, and shrikes in the bird world are ever on the alert to capture them, while skunks, weasels, minks, foxes, and snakes per sistently seek them in their retreats. THE BEACH MOUSE (Peromyscus polio notus niveiventris and its relatives) (For illustration,see page 428) The beach mouse is a beautiful, velvety furred little creature about the size of a house mouse and one of the smallest species of the genus Peromyscus. Its back is colored with delicate shades of pale vinaceous-buffy and its underparts, including the feet, are snowy white. The species Peromyscus polionotus, of which the beach mouse is one of several geographic races, or subspecies, occupies a comparatively restricted range in the lowland region of Ala bama and Georgia and thence through a large part of Florida. It presents an unusually convincing illustra tion of the influence of changing environment upon the physical characters of animals. Among the cotton fields of Alabama and Georgia Peromyscus polionotus is rather dark grayish brown, but on the lighter-colored soil of Florida the color responds and becomes paler in perfect correspondence with the change in soil until the white sand-dunes and beaches of the coast are reached. There, in strong con trast with the color of the northern members of the species, it is so modified that the pale representatives of this area are recognized under the name niveiventris, as a geographic race, or subspecies. Changes in environment affect both great and small mammals in a variety of ways, sometimes in shades of color, sometimes in relative size, and sometimes in proportions.- Exceptions to the rule are to be found, however, and some species of mammals have a wide range under a great variety of conditions, with scarcely an appreciable sign of variation. The beach mouse is abundant on the sand dunes and beaches of peninsular Florida, espe cially from Palm Beach to Mosquito Inlet, wherever there is a growth of sea oats (Uniola), which appears to be its principal food plant. It is a nocturnal animal and its nightly activi ties may be read, early in the morning, from the multitude of tiny tracks which lead in all directions and often form a network on the sand. A single track sometimes extends for a hundred yards or more from a burrow, and with all its windings may aggregate several hundred yards of travel, showing the activity of this small worker during many hours. Tracks are most plentiful immediately about 422

You're on nobody's timetable but your own. Don't give in to peer pressure, however subtle, and forget those TV ads for instant success. My rule of thumb for progress is this: add a little more only when it gets too easy, not because it's been a week and you feel like it's time to do more.

While losing body fat and reshaping your body is challenging, feeding your mind positive thoughts can make the challenge much more manageable.
You need to take charge of your medical care now more than ever. If you do this well, you will have confidence in the future. Letting things just happen around you may lead to bad decisions, serious undiagnosed illness, suffering, disability, and sometimes even death.

For me, embrace the chaos means: to accept the uncertainty of life and move forward anyway! Take action despite not knowing how things will turn out. To stop over-thinking, stop over-analyzing, stop trying to predict.
Given up on all hope of maintaining the resolution you were so fervent about back in January? Believe it or not, you can still make good on your New Year's Resolution. Happiness expert and sociologist Dr. Christine Carter shares how.
I've felt so good about the marginal, barely-measurable progress I've made in one month that I already have a 2014 "wish list" started.
Calling something a resolution does not make it the parameter of how much resolve you have. The resolve behind the resolution is tempered by your own fears and guilt. Change your perceptions, see the benefits and drawbacks of your illusions and lay down those fears and guilt to rest.
Not only can planning save you time and money -- you won't be making last minute trips to the grocery store or opting for dining out as much -- but it will also help your waistline and your health, since you'll be preparing more meals at home.
If you got divorced in 2012, it's time to kick off the New Year with a new you.
If you do a search for "diet plans," you'll be rewarded with more than 76 million results. Overwhelmed, anyone? Where in this new year do we start? And, since there is no shortage of options, what is the right plan for you?
As packed gyms attest, most of our New Year's resolutions deal with health, wellness, fitness, and weight loss -- and I am no exception. Here's what I am going through right now as I publicly rededicate myself after packing on an extra 16 pounds over the holidays.
With 2013's arrival, much like a gardener using a shovel to prepare for planting (then one day, harvesting), I invite you to explore your faith, facts and fictions with the following questions (shovels) over the weeks and months ahead.
These five resolutions are so easy to resolve to keep, they risk giving New Year's resolutions a new reputation. An added plus: They also happen to be kidney-friendly.

"As the desperate, shiny-eyed Trish, Heidi Armbruster is frighteningly fantastic. In bootcut jeans, blingy belts, and tight, tucked-in T-shirts (the costumes, by Jessica Wegener Shay, feel particularly spot-on in her case), she shows up in the Costco parking lot pleading for her son's forgiveness. Of course, she never actually says it that way. She just comes around to bring him groceries, or to offer him a free breakfast at Denny's (where she works) after his night shift. Donovan's whole body goes tense in Chris's interactions with his mother, who smiles and cajoles and promises great times ahead. Their scenes together — especially the last one, which crescendos into terrible emotional violence — are like punches to the sternum. Armbruster is wild and wheedling, her exuberance tinged with toxicity, but despite it all, her fierce love for Chris is clear, as is his for her, even through his horrified tears."

Futurism, future cars, future aviation, flying cars, watercrafts, future concepts
With ever pressing time limits on business, and the lack of any specific, high speed airplane to function as a business jet, Aerion Corporation is seeing an opportunity with a supersonic business jet. The company is already taking deposits for its 8-seater, and 12-seater business jets which it claims will be able to fly at a speed of 1.5 Mach.
Current economic trouble has slowed down the development of the business jet, but Aerion remains confident of being able to have the airplane certified by 2015. Recent wind-tunnel tests carried out by the company have been positive, showing a wing design that would be efficient at all speeds, whether above, or below the speed of sound. Aerion already has nearly 50 deposits for its supersonic plane.

In a move that surprised all of us, Meron came home from school a couple weeks ago and declared:
"I want to join the archery club."The archery club?
Uh... okay... I guess?
It meant getting up an hour earlier than her brother and sister several days a week and being on point, getting ready and getting to school to practice for an hour before classes started.
No way she was gonna do that, right?
This girl has jumped outta bed and gotten everything done every morning and has really shown a desire to be there.
She's been begging for me to come watch and my schedule finally allowed it this morning.
And WHOA!
She is actually really good at it!
Like... scary good!
I was one proud daddy as I watched her send arrow after arrow sailing across the gym to land in her target with a THUD!
And with each one - she glanced at me with a slight smile on her lips.
I see you, girl!
While she can't watch "Hunger Games" any time soon - I did tell her about it - and she was beaming!
Watch out Katniss... there's a new arrow slinger in town!

CCTV cameras caught the moment a man miraculously caught a one-year-old baby after it fell from a second story window in a south China county.
The baby was spotted on a window ledge by a neighbour and a small group rushed in to try and rescue the child.
"Some people put down cardboard to avoid serious injuries to the baby if I fail to catch him," the man who made the dramatic catch, Mr Li, said.
"I didn't think too much at the time. I was just afraid of failing to catch him.
"It was nothing but human instinct to do so."
Residents also put a sofa on the ground under the window to try and catch the child.
Local Chinese media reports say the baby was believed to be looking for its mother when it climbed out onto a window ledge during a heavy thunderstorm in Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City of Guangdong Province last Sunday.

Hey loves!
Today, I'm going to show you 4 maternity wardrobe essentials that'll carry you through your entire pregnancy for just about any occasion. Think I'm joking? I'm not! I felt like I hit the jackpot when I found Storq's Maternity Basics Bundle. So much so that I had to create a look book for you. Check it out!
I am both excited and nervous because this week I'll begin my third trimester which means the countdown to baby boy is upon us. Time and body wise, I will still be pretty pregnant, if not more pregnant and honestly, I do not feel like shopping for more maternity clothes. I was running this one pair of black maternity leggings into the ground, hoping no one would recognize them but eventually just felt gross wearing the same pants everyday. Not to mention, wearing them around my one year old who insists on making me her human napkin, was not helping.
Then the heavens opened up and Storq came to the rescue. Thank you, Storq! I received their bundle in the mail and opened it skeptically but to my surprise was thoroughly impressed with how thick, smooth, comfortable and versatile their clothes are.
The four pieces that come in the bundle are leggings, a tank top, pencil skirt and a t-shirt dress. Black and white are easy base colors to build outfits with, so I really appreciate. Also, each item can carry us moms-to-be through different aspects of our day to day lives whether we're dressing up or down.
For 15% off of anything at Storq use my discount code: STORQXKATHLEEN
I thought to myself, we women are pregnant for almost a year and do all sorts of things while growing a life! So I put together 4 different looks using one item each.
Which mom are you? Which look would you wear? Tell me in the comments below.

Looking for a Parent
They've taken care of you and have been your source of support all of these years and now it's your turn to support them. This can be an awkward time in every family's relationship. Your parents are used to calling all of the shots and not depending on anyone.
Whether your parents are fully independent and living on their own or in need of some extra support and companionship, it is never too early to talk about their wants and desires for a purposeful, engaging and enriching life in their later years.
Of upmost importance is to start the conversation before a crisis happens, during the "want" stage of their life vs. the "need" stage of their life.

Screening Applicants/Completing the Pre-Interview Report
NOTE: As of Sept. 10, 2018, the University of Iowa has a new system for managing advertising, applications, and searches for staff and health care jobs, therefore, this Recruitment Manual for P&S and faculty searches will be revised to reflect the university's transition to the new Talent Acquisition system (OTAC). Information in this manual pertaining to faculty searches is still applicable until such time as the faculty requisitions migrate to the new OTAC system. Please contact Talent Acquisition support (email@example.com) in University Human Resources with any questions about the OTAC system.
The screening process begins with an analysis of the application materials submitted by applicants in response to the announcement of an open position. The search committee is responsible for selecting candidates for interview who meet all the minimum requirements and are most qualified to fill the vacancy based on the advertised required and desirable qualifications.
- Screening Resumes/Curricula Vitaes
Prior to reviewing resumes or curricula vitae, search committees should determine the criteria they will use to screen applicants based on the advertised required and desired qualifications specified in the position announcement.
- Best Practices
- Create a well-documented screening process in which each applicant's qualifications are compared with the qualifications specified in the position announcement.
- Use an applicant screening worksheet to chart each applicant's qualifications and allow the search committee to compare each applicant's qualifications at a glance.
- Select a short list of applicants to recommend for interviews.
- Phone screens and telephone interviews may be used as a screening tool to determine or clarify whether applicants meet the required and desirable qualifications.
- Be knowledgeable about personal biases that might influence perceptions about applicants.
- Assess ways the applicants will bring rich experiences and diverse backgrounds and ideology to the university community.
- Screen applicants to be inclusive rather than for the sole purpose of narrowing the applicant pool.
- Refrain from assessing applicant qualifications based on a single standard.
If the search committee is unable to determine if an applicant possesses the requisite commitment and/or experience promoting a diverse workforce the search committee may elect to conduct a telephone screening call to confirm whether the applicant meets the requisite qualifications. Note: this search committee action does not require pre-approval from the office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity.
For further information, please contact Equal Opportunity and Diversity at 335-0705 (Phone), 335-0697 (TDD), or firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Preparing the Pre-Interview Report
Once the search committee has screened, rated the applicants in Jobs@uiowa the search committee chair, Admin should complete the Pre-Interview Report form in the Jobs@uiowa application. Examples of screen shots that illustrate how to prepare the Pre-Interview Report form can be found on page 8 of the Search Committee for P&S and Faculty Positions training manual. (Log onto Self-Service. Click on the Administration tab. Click on the Jobs@UIOWA link. Under Help Documents on the right hand side you will find the document Search Committee Training.)
The Pre-Interview Report is submitted through workflow to the department, the organizational unit, and the office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity. Upon approval of the Pre-Interview Report, an auto generated approval notice is sent to all persons on the workflow path, as well as the search committee chair and administrative support person.
- Common Errors when Completing the Pre-Interview Report
- Inaccurate ratings and years of related experience are calculated and assigned to the applicant pool.
- Documentation is not attached to support why applicants are not being considered for interviews when they possess similar ratings as candidates being recommended for interviews.
- Incomplete documentation which does not explain how related experience was defined and evaluated by the search committee.
- Incomplete documentation which does not fully explain the reasons why an applicant who was approved for Veterans' Preference is not being recommended for an interview to include which required and desired qualifications the veteran applicant met/did not meet per Iowacode35C.3
- Applicant Qualification Matrix
The Applicant Qualifications Matrix is a resource to assist search committees in providing complete documentation on how applicants meet/do not meet required and desired qualifications. The Applicant Qualifications Matrix may be included as an attachment to the Pre-Interview Report to support the search committee's recommendation of candidates to interview.
- Furlough Applicants (Professional & Scientific Employees)
If furloughed employees are in the applicant pool, check the documentation received from the Compensation & Classification Department that stipulates how the hiring department may proceed.
- Check if any applicants have exercised Veterans Preference as indicated by a flag symbol icon on the Pre-Interview Report that is adjacent to the applicants' name.
- If the department does not recommend to interview the veteran applicant, it is required that the hiring department/unit attach a memorandum to the Pre-Interview Report which explains the reasons for the non-selection of a veteran applicant.
- The documentation must include each of the advertised required and desired position qualifications that applicants meet/do not meet.
Per Iowa Code 35C.3, at the time of application or at an interview for the position, a veteran applicant may request notification of the refusal or specific grounds for the refusal. The notification shall be sent within ten days after the successful applicant is selected.
- Manual Application Entry (Faculty Searches Only)
The Chair/Admin has the capability to add an applicant manually to Jobs@uiowa. Select manual applicant entry under the manage applications section; then start the new manual Application. The first screen requires the basic applicant information to be entered; once completed select "Fill out Manual Application" to continue on the To Do list and upload the required attachments (Screen 8).
(Faculty Searches Only) If entering an applicant through the manual process, a paper Self-Identification form will need to be sent to the applicant to include the requisition number, position title, and department/unit name which are to be forwarded to EOD.

API: The env Property
- Type:
Nuxt.js lets you create environment variables that will be shared for the client and server-side.
Example (
export default {
env: {
baseUrl: process.env.BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000'
This lets you create a
baseUrl property that will be equal to the
BASE_URL environment variable if defined, otherwise, equal to
Then, I can access my
baseUrl variable in 2 ways:
- Via
- Via
context.env.baseUrl, see context API.
You can use the
env property for giving a public token for example.
For the example above, we can use it to configure axios.
import axios from 'axios'
export default axios.create({
baseURL: process.env.baseUrl
Then, in your pages, you can import axios like this:
import axios from '~/plugins/axios'
Automatic injection of environment variables
If you define environment variables starting with
NUXT_ENV_ in the build phase (f.ex.
NUXT_ENV_COOL_WORD=freezing nuxt build, they'll be automatically injected into the process environment. Be aware that they'll potentially take precedence over defined variables in your
nuxt.config.js with the same name.
process.env == {}
Note that Nuxt uses webpack's
definePlugin to define the environmental variable. This means that the actual
process or
process.env from Node.js is neither available nor defined. Each of the
env properties defined in nuxt.config.js is individually mapped to
process.env.xxxx and converted during compilation.
console.log(process.env) will output
{} but
console.log(process.env.your_var) will still output your value. When webpack compiles your code, it replaces all instances of
process.env.your_var to the value you've set it to. ie:
env.test = 'testing123'. If you use
process.env.test in your code somewhere, it is actually translated to 'testing123'.
if (process.env.test == 'testing123')
if ('testing123' == 'testing123')
As serverMiddleware is decoupled from the main Nuxt build,
env variables defined in
nuxt.config.js are not available there.

The GCS-100
The most versatile, compact and easy-to-use remote-controlled explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) platform suited for mine and IED clearance in ultra-rugged, hard to access and urban environments.
The GCS-100 is the smallest of our two available platforms and outperforms any similar product on the market.

Aunt June's Lemon Icebox Pie
This is my mom's sister's, my Aunt June's, icebox pie. It was my dad's favorite pie, so she always brought one when she came to visit. She topped hers with meringue, but I prefer whipped cream. The gingersnap crust was also my addition, because I love gingersnaps with lemon.
Banana Pudding
Here is my favorite recipe for classic banana pudding – spiked with rum, layered with bananas and vanilla wafers, and crowned with meringue.
Black Bottom Cookie Crust
This supereasy crumb-and-butter crust is what I make when I want a crispy, crumbly crust, especially for custard pies. The kind of cookie crumbs determines the flavor of the crust— this one is chocolate, but the variations are limitless.
Blackberry Cobbler with Drop Cream Biscuits
As homemade desserts go, cobblers are about as easy as they come; even better, they are endearingly homey and invariably good. The fluffy cream biscuits floating over this blackberry cobbler couldn't be simpler—just mix and drop. Serve warm with sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Try these rich, chewy bars topped with vanilla, caramel, or coffee ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce.
Bourbon Apricot & Sweet Potato Hand Pies
These rustic half-moon pastries travel beautifully, making them one of my favorite picnic treats. Just wrap them in wax paper and you're off!
Bourbon Cherry Bread Pudding
Our bread pudding is made with sour cherries and spiked with bourbon for a little touch of the South.
Bourbon Pecan Pie
We've added bourbon to classic southern pecan pie for extra flavor; if you prefer, you can use dark rum instead. (It's equally good without alcohol, too.) This is one of our top-selling desserts, particularly at Thanksgiving, when we make about five hundred pies!

Crate and Barrel started as a family business in 1962 and has grown into one of the world's best known specialty retailers of housewares and furniture. The Crate and Barrel brand includes retail stores throughout North America, franchise locations in Dubai, and a thriving ecommerce and catalog business. Headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, the Crate and Barrel family of brands today achieves more than $1 billion in annual sales and includes its more modern off-shoot CB2 and childrens' home furnishings retailer, The Land of Nod.
Like many large retailers, Crate and Barrel's freight payment process was handled by a third party vendor with ongoing data entry, account coding and payment errors. Crate and Barrel considered bringing it in-house but was looking for a low-cost solution that didn't require additional headcount. The company sought a data management solution that would:
"I had an idea and IOS had the experience and staff to run with it. They took my brainstormed design flow and created a system that brought it to life. Throughout this innovative and new project they clearly communicated with me, were very responsive and went above and beyond my expectations."
Rene Todd, Supervisor
Transportation Finance
Imaging Office Systems (IOS) was already working with the Human Resources department at Crate and Barrel. Rene Todd, Supervisor, Transportation Finance, heard they were coming in to present their scanning and indexing tools and asked to be invited to the presentation. She had an idea that this system might just be applicable to her freight payment challenges. She was right.
After hearing the IOS presentation, Rene immediately started brainstorming a solution and began working closely with Angela Childs, IOS Director of Professional Services. The two partnered to create a customized workflow, from scratch, that managed freight invoice processing and even included auditing and reporting tools. The result is a system that has saved an incredible amount of time, reduced errors and moved Crate and Barrel towards a true paperless electronic invoice system for their freight payment needs.

I have six active sketch books — one in the car, one at my desk at work, in my shoulder bag, in my laptop bag, in my living room at home and a mini sketchbook in my pocket.
Why? The answer comes from Terminator 2: Judgement Day ... but first, some background.
About four months ago, I resolved to do a new drawing every single day. I would bring a pocket sketchbook with me at all times.
I started out great and did it regularly — for all of six days.
After three months, what should have been at least 70 or 80 drawings amounted to just 12.
Did I give up? Did I put it off? No and no. I just forgot to bring my sketch book with me.
If I didn't have my sketchbook in front of me, I simply forgot to draw.
Trying to boost your skill level at anything requires working at it continuously. My major problem with this has never been the working part. It's been doing anything continuously.
Improving at anything creative is just like trying to boost your physical fitness. You can put in a good workout once in a while, but the benefits never come if you can't go to the gym regularly.
It's hard to fight your nature. So sometimes it's smarter to just work around it.
Instead battling my memory every day, I decided to take my memory out of the equation. Hence the multiple sketch books in every place I live my life. Just to make it easier, I also made sure a pen was attached to all of them. So now I can keep on working on the new habit without the worry of forgetting the essential tools. It's working so far.
Maybe this strategy (extreme though it may be) can work for you. If you know you have to write everyday, why not leave a notepad and pencil in all places you inhabit during the day? If you want to work out, but always leave your gym bag behind, why not leave a cache of clothes in several convenient places?
If it helped Sarah Connor to be ready with her desert arsenal in Terminator 2, it can work for you in your non-robot-destroying daily work. By thinking ahead, she had her tools where she needed them and didn't have to spend extra effort on trying to make sure, John and 'Uncle Bob' were armed. They stopped Judgement Day ... imagine how much more you could do if you had your own cache?

People who translate this song might want to take in consideration that 'downtown' can be a metaphorical reference to making oral sex...
Anitta - Downtown
|захваљено 9 пута
:))) Funny and yes i think it also has some "deep" meaning in it
I've seen some news talking about this hidden, dirty innuendo found in the lyrics, but as I don't know Spanish enough, I can't judge. But its makes sense
Missing stanzas and featured artist added.
I said earlier that this song is not of my interest but, I also said that i would read the results.
Aside from the innuendos that you mention, the lyrics don't make much sense to me and I won't get involved, I just want to make a suggestion, and indicate a couple grammatical mistakes:
1. The second verse, "Se ve que lo trabajo eres motivación", I think that a comma after 'trabajo' would make the idea more clear and, since the stanza is in third person, why "eres"? Couldn't it be "es"?
2. Third stanza, "tanto que me a rogado" --> "tanto que me ha rogado" (verbo 'haber')
3. Next line, "Yo te observado" --> "Yo te he observado".
4. Sixth (long stanza), "No se vale" Do they say "No SE vale"? Because the correct form would be "No vale".
A question:
Obviously there are two persons involved here. Is that why one speaks with the -ao' ending, and the other says, correctly, " rogado, oficiado", etc.?
On the stanzas that both of then intervene, could that be indicated, or divade the stanzas in two (four verses each?
Well, I have said enough.
Best regards and good wishes to both of you.
1 Because that sentence is that way and they (Anitta here ) sing it that way i can't add words that aren't there especially to the source Lyrics
2 Done !
3 Same as point one listen to the audio there isn't any "he" it's Anitta singing there
4 Yes
5 yes you have said enough , that wasn't necessary here in this case
Also more simple and to be clear it's quite simple and i don't need any more arguments, as the lyrics are also added in the description of the official video and can be also checked there , and i think that if they added them that way there isn't any mistake or a need to change something 'cause if they who made the song don't know the lyrics than who knows it better? Also yes it's pretty obvious that there are two persons there singing anitta and j balvin and that's the reason why verbs are finishing in different forms (feminin and masculin diferentiating the monologue and dialogue.. ) As for the stanzas where both intervine it's quite simple and i don't see a reason to divide them the audio says it all ... Yeah i said enough ...
Seems to me that the argument went on for quite a while, 'and the beat goes on':
I think the lyrics are according to the video in which, as I said before, the Spanish is not very good.
And, let me tell you, the verb endings don't go by 'feminine/masculine' forms, that applies to nouns and adjectives. I have seen the indication of who is singing some where else. Here:
https://www.foreveryonenow.com › Anitta (with mistakes in the lyrics, as well).
Yes, you said more than enough 'that wasn't necessary here in this case'.(considering I tried to help you)
And still it is "yo te HE observado", a non corrected serious mistake.
I tought you're not interested and didn't like this song as you've told me, and you also said you're not interested in this song so why bother to lecture me ? I think my argument stands and like i've said i can't add words that aren't there the lyrics are how they are and they've also been added in the official video i guess that the people who added them are not familliar with spanish ? Funny 'cause they're the one who sing this song , what argument you want more .. I don;t want this to go on and on without any reason so thanks for your time. And by the way i've consulted with some others native from spain and they have said that the lyrics are weird yes but as they're now they are pretty ok They may also sound different 'cause of the audio and if i remember well Anitta is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil so yeah...As you see i'm not native or even fluent in Spanish but i try to learn and i care that's why i've talked with people and i've asked for help some of them..regarding this translation..
Excuse me, but I don't lecture any one and, that's true, I am not interested in this song, that's why I didn't take part in the long discussion, I'm just trying to correct a grammatical mistake, and the 'he' is there. As I told you, she is joining "yo te'e".
Good-bye, Robert, and better luck to you.
The song actually says, 'Se ve que lo trabaja, eres motivación.'
Anitta is singing here about J. Balvin.
Right! I'm aware of the grammatical rule, but the line I wrote is what Anitta sings.
"no te HE observado" is like above "me HA rogado": verbo auxiliar 'haber' along with the past participle to form the near past. It doesn't sound because the word before ends in 'e' and she joins the two. Besides, she speaks poor Spanish, and has a heavy accent.
can anyone correct ths part please *Le pido que se quede ahi enviciado*
Done ! you're right it's the verb Enviciado'
thanks for the correction
Una letra de diferencia, ¡quema mucho el fuego! Aunque aquí no está claro el aspecto lingüístico de cómo la gente lo habla en regiones, se debería de haber señalado con un apóstrofe: envicia'o, roga'o, interesa'o y así.
you're welcome, Rosa
What does it mean?
Alma Barroca, what do you want to know
I think Alma Barroca wants to know what 'enviciado/envicia'o' means.
Am I correct, Alma Barroca?
Yes, as I didn't translate that word in my translation.
You see, when someone stays all day long playing video games or whatever everyday because the game is soooo good they are self absorbed in it, we say (at least in Mexico) "está enviciado" or "de vicio". So, you know, she is asking him to "quedarse enviciado" in her "downtown".
"Vicio" means vice/bad habit/obsession and it applies to several contexts, but in this case, she just doesn't want him to stop.
Love your explanation!
My mom is always complaining about my brothers, she's always like, '¡Y estos están en el puro vicio todo el día!'
¡Ni modo! ¡Pues a darle al vicio!
Could this also be like i've understand it as to " i ask him to remain/stay focused on me" in an english meaning
A mí me gusta cuando baja downtown I like it when he goes into "downtown"(Anita sings here about Him )
"Le pido que se quede ahi enviciado'" I've asked him to remain his priority/ or "to focus on me also "to caress for me" would fit here which means what you;ve said to take "care" of her :)))
"Le pido que se quede ahí enviciado'"
This sentence is in present, so maybe you should change the "I've asked him..." to "I ask him..."
I think you're going for and interpretation rather than a literal translation right? Because literally I'd translated it as "I ask him to remain there" and that's it, but it losses some of its meaning, so... Maybe it could be "I ask him to keep/remain caressing me" If you want to include the word "caressing" there.
"Le pido que se quede " "I ask him to keep " but what about the "ahí enviciado'" - caressing me
And yes yo le pido "i ask" it's a present sentence ...and i think that this song can't be translated in a literall way considering all the "baja downtown" :Que me llene entera de satisfacción" the sah-mate verse :))
Honestly, I would never think of that :p
Thanks for the help, I'll add it to my translation now.
let's suppose it's true what do you think It means
The way I grew up using the word, and considering that the song is about sex, it would be something like:
'I want him to always want more of me.'
'I want him to become addicted to giving me pleasure.'
Something along those lines.
What does it mean to you?
My opinion is not that different from yours, add to *addicted* strung out or hooked as I Indicated them in my translation
I myself in my romanian translation i've perceived that considering the prevoius sentence "
A mí me gusta cuando baja downtown I like it when he gets (down) into "downtown"
Le pido que se quede ahi enviciado'" I ask him to remain/stay "focused" it's the most ok word but focused on what , we don't know very well :)) or we know :)) it's a sexual meaning here or considering the video just her (Anitta) who tells him to be focused on what the "job" and to remain concentrate on
so you say "stay hooked" is wrong and should be changed Robert
in my opinion "focused or "to stay concentrate" it's the meaning of that sentence She (Anitta) says it after the first sentence "I like it when he gets into "Downtown"
I ask him to remain/stay concentrate
@roster 31 can I ask you something about the verb Juqueado does it exist en the Spanish language I already looked It up but couldn't find any result about it till I accidently read the artist page on Facebook saying that JUQUEAR means *enganchar* then I watched the transcription subtitles in the video to find out that the Puerto Rican artist says (me tyenes hookao') so is it a new word or merely a play on the english word *hooked*
that's why I didn't find anything about it except on Facebook, thank you

"Greene looks at the ways in which multinational tech giants, including Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook and others have resisted government regulation while pushing to take over functions traditionally provided by the state . . . An open-eyed analysis of influential technology companies' ambitions of interest to investors, tech users, and media consumers." --Library Journal In Silicon States, renowned futurist and celebrated international think-tank leader Lucie Greene offers an unparalleled look at the players, promises, and potential problems of Big Tech. Through interviews with corporate leaders, influential venture capitalists, scholars, journalists, activists, and more, Greene explores the tension inherent in Silicon Valley's global influence. If these companies can invent a social network, how might they soon transform our political and health-care systems? If they can revolutionize the cell phone, what might they do for space travel, education, or the housing market? As Silicon Valley faces increased scrutiny over its mistreatment of women, cultural shortcomings, and its role in widespread Russian election interference, we are learning where its interests truly lie, and about the great power these companies wield over an unsuspecting citizenry. While the promise of technology is seductive, it is important to understand these corporations' possible impacts on our political and socioeconomic institutions. Greene emphasizes that before we hand our future over to a rarefied group of companies, we should examine the world they might build and confront its benefits, prejudices, and inherent flaws. Silicon States pushes us to ask if, ultimately, this is the future we really want.

Abstract | Full Text
The monitoring of a multivariate process with the use of multivariate statistical process control (MSPC) charts has received considerable attention. However, in practice, the use of MSPC chart typically encounters a difficulty. This difficult involves which quality variable or which set of the quality variables is responsible for the generation of the signal. This study proposes a hybrid scheme which is composed of independent component analysis (ICA) and support vector machine (SVM) to determine the fault quality variables when a step-change disturbance existed in a multivariate process. The proposed hybrid ICA-SVM scheme initially applies ICA to the Hotelling T2 MSPC chart to generate independent components (ICs). The hidden information of the fault quality variables can be identified in these ICs. The ICs are then served as the input variables of the classifier SVM for performing the classification process. The performance of various process designs is investigated and compared with the typical classification method. Using the proposed approach, the fault quality variables for a multivariate process can be accurately and reliably determined.

Since I've been wanting one for well over a year now, I went ahead and ordered myself a BLOCK SHOP scarf today. Lily and Hopie have just released a range of new designs alongside their beautiful originals, and I couldn't help myself. I love their designs and also their ethos (you can read about their work with a mobile healthcare clinic in Bagru where the scarves are made on their site).
The hardest part of the whole thing was deciding just which one to buy. Much as I loved the Peony / Zipper and the Dolly / Spruce, it was the Monarch / Adobe that really had my heart in the end.
