![]() Whereas Sir Mix-a-Lot focuses on a woman's body and the pleasure it gives him, Minaj raps from the perspective of the unnamed woman, and shows how she uses her body to profit and empower herself. The song has been viewed by some as a diss track, in answer to " Baby Got Back". The song heavily samples " Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot, who also has vocals in the chorus of the song. On various digital music stores, the cover art is censored with the Parental Advisory label over Minaj's buttocks. The cover art for the single went viral on the web after being revealed. However, on August 24, 2014, Elliott contradicted Polow's recollections, saying she never received the instrumental. On August 5, 2014, producer Polow da Don claimed that the "Anaconda" instrumental was originally intended for rapper and musician Missy Elliott, but was scrapped and then re-recorded by Minaj. The song was also nominated for two categories at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, Best Female Video and Best Hip-Hop Video, winning the latter. "Anaconda" was nominated for Best Rap Song at the 2015 Grammy Awards. To further promote the song, Minaj performed it live at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards and also performed it at Fashion Rocks and the iHeartRadio Music Festival. In 2021, Anaconda became the first music video for a solo female rap song to hit 1 billion views. Following the video's release, it broke the 24-hour streaming record on Vevo by accumulating 19.6 million views in its first day of release. The song also peaked within the top ten in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, top forty in Austria, France and Portugal and top fifty in Czech Republic.Ĭolin Tilley directed an accompanying video for the song, which was released on August 19, 2014. The song peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Minaj's highest charting single at the time. ![]() ![]() Released on Augby Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Republic Records as the second single from the album, the song was produced by Polow da Don, DJ Spydr, and Da Internz, and prominently samples " Baby Got Back" (1992) by Sir Mix-a-Lot.

This is one of the places I always forget to clean in the bedroom, but boy does it gather a lot of dirt. Bedroom spring cleaning hacks and tips Dresser cleaning hack Leave it for five minutes - not too long because you don’t want the grout to peel away - and then wipe it down with just warm water and an all-purpose cleaner. Fill a bottle with half vinegar and half warm water, then spritz onto the grout. Our good friend vinegar (yes, still Heinz's vinegar from Amazon) is a great grout cleaner. This way, it always looks and feels fresh AF. I like hooking two rim hanger toilet cleaners ( like this set, deemed Amazon's Choice) onto either side of the bowl, as well as putting a toilet block into the tank of water. I’m a big fan of making my toilet as clean as it can be - after all, no one wants to sit down on a nasty seat. You can buy a tub of The Pink Stuff from Amazon for around five or six dollars. It also has so many different uses all over the house, so you get a major bang for your buck from one small tub. I love using The Pink Stuff to clean them - rub it on with a sponge, wipe it down, then wash it off with a damp cloth. When I’m hopping in and out the shower, I’m thinking more about getting myself clean than the shower itself, TBH. Bathroom spring cleaning hacks and tips Shower door cleaning hack Leave the machine to do its magic and you’re all done. Pop a couple of dishwasher tablets ( they’re amaze for cleaning pretty much anything) into the drum, and put it on a hot wash for a short cycle - 30 minutes is about right. You would think washing machines should be naturally clean - but no, they need some cleaning love, too. ![]() Make a cup of plain black tea, let it get cold, dip your kitchen towel in it, then wipe the door with it. This is going to sound weird, but tea is a legit eco-friendly cleaner that works wonders on glass - especially microwave doors. ![]() Our fave baking soda is from Arm & Hammer, BTW. To try it, dunk your spoons in a jug of boiling water and a tablespoon of baking soda for 20 minutes, then leave it to dry. Who knew that wooden spoons could get so gross? I didn’t, until this TikTok spoon cleaning hack got the whole internet getting all the gunge out of their utensils. Kitchen spring cleaning hacks and tips Wooden spoon cleaning hack This set from Amazon comes with eight included and they're all decently sized. You'll need a large-ish cloth to do this, and it needs to be microfiber ideally. So, say goodbye to grub, and say hello to sparkles. We’re here to make your life easier not harder, people. I’ve also made extra sure that these are renter-friendly - aka nothing that will damage your home and nothing your landlord won’t be happy with. These are split across each room, so you can get every spot looking squeaky clean. I’ve put together my fave spring cleaning ideas, from personal faves to TikTok hacks, to help you clean up quicker and more efficiently. Of course, we can all wipe down a kitchen countertop and sweep our floors with a dustpan and brush, but there are definitely places that need some extra TLC. You probs have all your cleaning products and tools ready to go, but chances are you need a li'l inspo. Cleaning the dust off every corner and crevice and finally decluttering that one closet you keep avoiding. I’m talking about making your home super clean.

For example, a New York-based trader can buy Toyota Motor Corp ( – Japanese), Siemens ( – German), and Baidu ( – Chinese) on US exchanges. Again, no, because the stock had already traded lower in the European markets.įoreign companies (stocks) traded on local exchanges. Some would say that the cash (stock) was down to "reconcile" it back to the futures. If the S&P 500 index was calculating throughout the night, you would see the same pattern. So in this case, did futures lead the S&P 500 index down? Not really. ![]() This is what is referred to as a "gap down" at the open, yet there really was no gap based on how the futures traded. Notice the futures have no gap, and the S&P 500 index does. Since that index is not calculating throughout the night, it ended the previous day, and gapped down since it did not track during the 83% of the time while it was turned off.īefore the US market opened, it was known that Europe was weak and that the US would begin at lower prices. Notice the gap in the chart on the right. The US then opened and began to retrace as Europe closed. Europe then opened and pulled the market down. The futures opened and started trading higher in Asia, then began to weaken. The Asian, European, and US markets are on the chart on the left. And the cycle begins anew.Įxhibit 1 shows 30-minute charts of the S&P 500 futures (left) and the S&P 500 index (right). As the US markets close, a new day is starting over in Asia. However, Europe is still open and trading for the first 2 hours of the US market so during the morning session of the US markets there is still European influence. Since the S&P 500, Dow 30, and NASDAQ 100 "belong" to the US, the US takes over at 09:30. Europe opens at 03:00 and trades until 09:30 ET. The first markets to open are the Asian markets (including Australia and New Zealand), which trade between 18:00–03:00 ET. The futures will move based on the section of the world that is open at that time, so the 24-hour market must be divided into time segments to understand which time zone and geographic region is having the largest impact on the market at any point in time. ![]() Since there are futures on the indexes (S&P 500, Dow 30, NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000) that trade virtually 24 hours a day, we can watch the index futures to get a feel for market direction. Futures look into the future to "lock in" a future price or try to predict where something will be in the future hence the name. The index futures are a derivative of the actual indexes. This is where the futures markets come in. An indicator that tracks the markets 24 hours a day is needed. The indexes in the US "don’t see" that movement until the markets open in New York. This time gap is what causes our markets in the US to gap up or gap down at the open because our stocks have been traded at the exchanges around the world and have been pushed up or down during overseas markets. That leaves 73% of the time that the markets in the US are not representing what is happening around the world. This means that during a 24-hour day, the indexes are trading for 6½ hours of the day, or 27% of the time. The indexes show the current value of the index only during the NYSE trading hours (09:30–16:00 ET). The indexes are a current (live) representation of the stocks that are in them. ![]() This may be part of what causes the S&P 500, Dow 30, and NASDAQ 100 indexes to gap up or down when US markets open. How many times have you woken up in the morning to hear CNBC or Bloomberg telling you that the European markets are down 2%, that futures are pointing to a lower open, and that markets are below fair value? In a global economy, what happens overseas may drive markets.

![]() ![]() But when Eddie Murphy enters the picture, Broderick steps it up and becomes a hilarious addition to the movie. When his character is first introduced, it's sad how bad grown-up Ferris Bueller is. I don't mean to be insensitive, but what else can she play? Matthew Broderick plays an evicted tenant who has nothing to do with the Ponzi scheme and no justification for committing this crime, yet he's included on the heist anyway. Gabourey Sidibe plays a safe-cracking ' Precious' with a Jamaican accent. Again, Affleck shines – even when the project itself is much lower than what he's capable of. Casey Affleck is a kinda-dumb soon-to-be father who honestly needs the cash. Nearly every line that comes out of his mouth is hilarious and not suitable for work. Eddie Murphy is the experienced criminal that Stiller employs as their teacher. ![]() Those sound like the perfect seemingly impossible circumstances for a heist movie, right?īen Stiller plays the bumbling ring-leading manager who's hellbent on getting his money back, as well as the money of all of his hard-working employees. He cannot leave his apartment (there are two FBI agents at the door at all times) and is under constant video surveillance. After getting busted by the FBI, he's under house arrest in the penthouse of his New York City high-rise. Imagine 'Ocean's Eleven,' where the crew attempting the heist is trying to steal back money they lost in a Ponzi scheme and the mark is a Bernie Madoff-esque bastard (Alan Alda). Wait, that's what 'Ocean's Eleven' already is – a heist movie fueled by revenge. Mind you, it's not great, but if you can trudge through the terrible first act, you'll find the other two acts make for a fluffy and funny if mindless comedy. Ratner is trying to recoup as much money from this turd as quickly as possible." But upon finally screening the movie, I was surprised to discover that it's actually not as bad as it looks. When controversy broke out because theater owners were up in arms over the plan to have 'Tower Heist' stream on-demand concurrently with its theatrical release, I figured, "No wonder. Learning that it was a Ratner film only made me dread seeing it even more. Even before learning that 'Tower Heist' was a Ratner movie, I dreaded it based on the awful trailer. ' Red Dragon' is the only one of his films that I find worthy of re-watching. ![]() ![]() ![]() These examples are programmatically compiled from various online sources to illustrate current usage of the word 'bonding.' Any opinions expressed in the examples do not represent those of Merriam-Webster or its editors. 2023 For a single-family home assessed at the city’s median value of roughly $1.2 million, property taxes will increase by $183 annually as bonding is put in place for the school projects over the next several years, officials have said. Elaina Patton, NBC News, The bonding of group workouts allows team members not only to navigate problems at work, but also to create a safe space for individuals to process personal stressors (death of a loved one, illness, relationship issues) and therefore keeping the physiology resilient. Bryce Miller, San Diego Union-Tribune, Now the first four episodes of the - in some ways -groundbreaking series have arrived, delivering plenty of platonic bonding moments, steamy, night-vision scenes and lots and lots of tears. The dipole moments of several bond types are given in Table 1.

Recent Examples on the Web That must have been tricky in terms of insurance bonding, in convincing your star and the studio, and in execution. ![]() ![]() ![]() A person whose gender identity differs from a female sex assignment at birth is often referred to as a female-to-male transgender man. As explained in the previous chapter, a person whose gender identity differs from a male sex assignment at birth is often referred to as a male-to-female transgender woman. For example, some transsexual women differentiate themselves from those who self-identify as transgender to underscore that they are not gender variant or nonconforming, but instead identify unambiguously with the other gender. ![]() The term transgender is increasingly used to encompass this family of gender-variant identities and expressions, but opinions on the term vary by geographic region and by individual. Definitions of these categories vary and continue to evolve over time. This group includes transsexuals (who desire or have had hormone therapy and/or surgery to feminize or masculinize their body and may live full time in the cross-gender role) cross-dressers or transvestites (who wear clothes and adopt a presentation associated with the other gender for emotional or sexual gratification, and may live part time in the cross-gender role) transgenderists (who live full time in the cross-gender role, may take hormones, but do not desire surgery) bigender persons (who identify as both man and woman, may take hormones, and may live part time in the cross-gender role) drag queens and kings (who dress in clothes associated with the other gender, adopt a hyperfeminine or hypermasculine presentation, and appear part time in the cross-gender role) and other identities, such as gender queer or two-spirit-a term used by some Native Americans for individuals who possess feminine and masculine qualities (who may or may not desire hormones or surgery, and may or may not live part or full time in the cross-gender role). The term transgender has come to be widely used to refer to a diverse group of individuals who cross or transcend culturally defined categories of gender ( Bockting, 1999) that is, they depart significantly from traditional gender norms. ![]() This dysphoria can manifest itself in a persistent unease with one's primary and secondary sex characteristics, a sense of inappropriateness in one's gender role, and a strong and persistent identification with and desire to live in the role of the other sex, which has been classified as gender identity disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition ( DSM-IV) ( American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Gender dysphoria refers to a discomfort with one's sex assigned at birth ( Fisk, 1974). Gender role conformity refers to the extent to which an individual's gender expression adheres to the cultural norms prescribed for people of his or her sex. Gender expression denotes the manifestation of characteristics in one's personality, appearance, and behavior that are culturally defined as masculine or feminine. Gender identity can be congruent or incongruent with one's sex assigned at birth based on the appearance of the external genitalia. ![]() Gender identity refers to a person's basic sense of being a man or boy, a woman or girl, or another gender (e.g., transgender, bigender, or gender queer-a rejection of the traditional binary classification of gender). ![]() |
