Taking A too B: being overly B with regards to A.
Parar tudo que está fazendo (e está te causando problemas ou cansaço) e ir fazer outra coisa.
There’s a characteristic of our generation that can only be described as severe
restlessness. I am not specifically referring to the number of friends you have who are prescribed
Adderall; although that’s definitely another cultural trend I could discuss in length. What I’m talking about is a restlessness of the soul, the wandering spirit, a culture of nomads. We’ve been bred on this notion that we are going to do it differently than our parents; we’ll be adventurous, experience life to the fullest. We’ve sat over lunch with our friends choosing our post-graduation plans, always
teetering over the line of what we knew as the safe choice and what we knew as the adventurous, spirited one. We talked about living in Brazil in a house by the beach, spending days on the
hammock and driving taxis at night.
Reps: representatives, people.
Representantes de companhia, empresa, time ou grupo.
You want to bring your new product to market as quickly as possible, but you’re on a tight budget. You don’t want to spend the time or the money on putting together a sales team, so what are your options?
One consideration is working with independent sales representatives–sometimes called manufacturers’ representatives or manufacturers’ agents–who sell products or services to customers directly for the company or companies he or she works for. Unlike with hiring a salesperson, with a rep you are taking on no initial risk until the person begins producing revenue, because you’re not responsible for health and retirement benefits. Sure, you may have to dole out a little more commission for each sale. But it’s worth it if you want to test the market, or if your product will benefit from a demonstration, or your customers require constant explanation of new products. For this reason, independent sales reps work mostly for manufacturers, wholesalers, or technical companies.
O ato de negociar, conversar um projeto ou idéia com um grupo de pessoas.
EU’s Brexit negotiator demands all talks are conducted in French
The European Union’s lead Brexit negotiator wants British and EU officials to work in French rather than English during the divorce talks, an EU official familiar with Brussels’ Brexit task force said on Friday.
Michel Barnier, the former French foreign minister running the complex separation with London, is keen that his native tongue be used in meetings and documents, the source told Reuters during a EU summit at which Theresa May was making her first appearance as prime minister at the European Council.
“Barnier wants French to be the working language in Brexit negotiations with Britain,” the source said.
Interleague play: games between teams from different leagues.
Jogos entre times de ligas diferentes.
Americanprofessional baseball has two leagues: the American League andthe National League. The World Series is the championship between the AL and NL winners.
Since being introduced prior to the 1997 MLB season, there have been mixed feelings about interleague play. The increased ratings indicate fans love seeing unique
matchups and
rivalries that previously took place exclusively during the World Series. New Yorkers love watching the Mets
square off against the Yankees, while the divide between the North and South side of Chicago is on display when the Cubs play the White Sox. Interleague play creates exciting drama, but it’s not without
drawbacks.
A, make sure A has an enjoyable evening out.
Levar alguém ou um grupo de pessoas para se divertir, entreter-se, se divertir.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN HIRING A MAGICIAN
Magicians have become a very popular and different option when hiring entertainment for a party or special event. People hire magicians for kid’s parties, festivals, schools, corporate events, libraries, adult parties, etc.
When you decide to hire a magician, you need to ask yourself what you want from the magician for your party. It is different to hire a magician for a kid’s birthday party than for a festival or a strolling cocktail party?
