I find that Businessweek's depth of reporting and a focus to the info, not stories, is what differentiates it from day by day newspapers whereas still permitting it to be well timed when it comes within the mail every week.

Europe Observations | High Europe | Wingin' it | Airline Peanuts | Metrosexual | Sonic Unleashed is unleashed?
Saturday, 22nd March 2008, 3:13pm (UTC), 3 Comments
First screenshots of Sonic Unleashed?
If you've not been keeping up, Sega made a new trademark a couple of weeks back for the name "Sonic Unleashed", and when this normally happens, we can expect to see a new game of that name be announced shortly thereafter. What's more, we are due for the announcement of the next primary platformer at any time this year, so is this it? Certainly looks that way!
Just check out the graphics on those environments! "Sonic in Pingu land" springs to mind, as they look like they're made out of plasticine, and I would have been sceptical if someone had just told me about that beforehand, but I think they look really nice! There's something, not quite old skool about them, but not the kind of realistic stuff we've come accustomed to either. It's a unique style all of its own, but thank God, it's bright and cheerful! Apparently they're based on cities in Greece, and the desert-like one looks a tad bland in places, but overall, they've really pulled a surprise out of the bag on this one. The cut scene seems to give mixed signals of both comedy and darkness, so I don't know what quite to make of that, but I really hope they go down the lighter road with this one. We don't need any more serious storylines for the time being.
My biggest question at this stage is a matter of dimensions. 3D graphics, great, but what about the controls? I've been saying for a long time, we need a primary Sonic game that is controlled in the traditional 2D axis form, and mostly side-on. This game could still be that. If you look at the last screen, of Sonic darting out from a behind a box, it suggests to me that he's running a preditermined path down that road and you can move him left and right. Not side-on no, but I really think they'd be safer with 2 dimensional controls at this point.
To me, these look like 360/PS3 screens too. If for Wii, my fear is that it'll follow the same wii remote controls as Secret Rings, which on the whole, didn't work for me.
From what I read, there's more out there right now too. There's word of a 600MB movie, a magazine scan and perhaps more shots, but I'm struggling to gain any clues as to where they might be. Will update.
Ludicrous amounts of screens and Were-hog?
Suddenly the name "Sonic Unleashed" makes perfect sense now. Shared with many I'm sure, my initial reaction to that transformation was a big 'ol "WTF?", but personally I'm not too bothered by it. It seems a little gimmicky and maybe even a bit of a rip-off of Twilight Princess' idea, if this is indeed a gameplay element, and I've no doubt it is..
..But then you browse through all these screens and just think "Wow!". If the game looks this good, they can turn Sonic into a shepherd's pie for all I care. There seems to be a lot of suggestion that it takes place on the 2D axis, either sideways on or from behind like Secret Rings, and that's pretty much exactly what I had hoped for. From the screens I can see two different levels, with the African/desert one being particularly varied, and it looks like the day-to-night feature that should have been in Sonic '06 is back, and you've got to believe, here to stay. That makes me incredibly happy, as I've wanted to be able to play levels set at different times of the day for so long now. And with the werewolf gimmick it makes perfect sense, since presumably Sonic can only transform at night. The contrast between this happy, plasticene world and the darker side is very apparent, and it suggests that alongside it will exist a much darker world, or variation of these levels.
Also note the complexity of that Blue Coast style level, in the aerial shots. It looks like an incredibly non-linear affair if those paths aren't just decorational, with your route weaving around and hopefully expanding into many options. I am absolutely loving what I see, and will constantly be wanting more.
EDIT AGAIN:
Sonic Team... I could kiss you.
Absolutely perfect - EXACTLY what I had in mind. A true "2.5D" adventure for our next primary platformer. The sense of speed suggests that its inspiration mainly comes from Sonic Rush, and going by the success of that format, it definitely seems like the right move for them to have made. My only gripe? Sonic's running animation could be better. I was hoping for something similar to SSBB and indeed, Sonic Rush. Still, who the hell cares, this is pure Sonic GOLD!
Oh, and apparently, the screens posted are from the XBox 360 version, and there is said to be a preview coming up in the Official Nintendo magazine, which suggests a multi-format release. Good move.

Can you add more levels to sonic2?
And you should add more games,too.

This website is amazing!
The amount of detail you have gone into is incredible. You've gone to heaps of effort with the aesthetics... just awesome.
I'm doing a Game Design course, and have a theory assignment on genres. I've chosen to write about one of the best games in history - Sonic the Hedgehog.
Very glad to stumble across your page.
Keep up the bewdiful work :)
Thanks a lot Lauren, I really appreciate the comment!
Wow, lucky you, I'd love to be able to write a piece of coursework on Sonic! Hope my site can act as a useful reference for you.
Best of luck with it!

Find Yourself In History
My love of learning (and really the start of my radicalization) started in 7th grade. Years ago, in a classroom on the second story of the Greenville middle school, the bell had just rung and I was seated smack dab in the middle of a sea of desks with not a familiar face in sight. What I remember as a very frightening time, I now see was also a big turning point for me. My love of history was ignited in that class. Texas history is something Texans are very fond of. Literally almost (if not everything) in the state is named after a prominent historical figure from it's creation and colonization. Learning about our state's history in middle school was a requirement, as it is in most states, but my family also traveled all over the state on various vacations, continuing to burn facts about its history into my brain. 7th grade was a whole new world, it was stressful to make that leap. I remember that year because of that one class. That class was the first time I felt smart and capable in a subject that wasn't art. Our teacher taught us more that just history - he taught us how to be better people. We were encouraged to look beyond the surface and see things from other peoples points of view.
My love of history never faded and before I know it, I'm applying to colleges that bear the names of the men I studied in seventh grade.
After college, I took a trip to Austin, Texas to visit some friends. I was getting ready to live out side of the state for the first time in my life, and I knew this would also be a good trip to learn more Texas history before I left. This time, I had a better idea of what I wanted to learn. My radicalization had grown quietly, and steadily over the years. I was on a mission to uncover new things - about myself and about Texas. My first stop was the capital building. I had been there before, but it was like I was saying farewell to it this time. It was hot, blazing hot, that summer. I was on my own and strolling along, not looking for anything in particular. I completely missed the marble statues of Stephen F Austin and Sam Houston. Being born and raised in Texas, then attending Sam Houston State University, you tend to glaze over things like that - and truthfully, I did not particularly care to admire the two men that day. I have learned enough history about men. It wasn't until a day or two later, I made my stop at a small museum and realized that admiring those statues is not just about the men, but also about the artist. A woman named Elisabet Ney.
Elisabet Ney took my breath away. She was a fellow Texan, a woman, an artist, and a feminist. My kindred spirit. Her museum was her former home and art studio. A beautiful white structure more castle than house. It stands out against it's green surroundings. It was there that she would carve the statues of the two Texas giants that now reside at the capital building. Elisabet Ney's work is beautiful and peaceful. Much like the land that surrounds her former studio. As the architects were building the space she would remind them that she needed to be "surrounded with as much beauty as possible" while working. That beauty reflects in her work and in her life. There is a secret shared between the subject and the artist captured in the marble, never to be spoken. Her work is incredibly detailed. I feel as if I learn something different looking at the carved marble that than I would if I were to meet the person in real life. Honestly, the whole space give me 2005 Pride and Prejudice vibes - particularly the scene when Elizabeth goes to Pemberley and there are all the white busts and statues and its so romantic and beautiful.
Ney immigrated to the US in 1870 from Prussia (now Germany) to escape the Franco-Prussian War. She had made quite a name for herself in Europe. She attended art school when she was a teenager and her reputation as a magnificent sculptor began to grow. Sculpting is intimate work - often the artist and subject alone for hours and her subjects often became close friends. Those friends eventually ranged from philosophers to some of Europe's highest political and military figures. Oh but what are kings and philosophers to Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston? After Ney and her husband came to the US, she helped support him and their son. In 1892 she bought land in Austin, Texas and named it Formosa (Portuguese for "beautiful"). At age 60, she picked up sculpting again. Leading her to her place in Texas history.
Ney would open her home to friends and family. Her and her husband would host salons - a popular style of party in Europe where the host would invite artists to showcase their work. This woman was about the arts! She understood it's importance and supported other artists as much as she could. The salons at her home would become legendary for the attendance of many talented and highly influential guests. Elisabet Ney was an influencer in her own time. She helped support the women's movement in Texas, often by hosting those salons! She was passionate about education and wickedly smart. Her and her husband were equals and he often credited her for helping with his work. Ney took a woman named Nannie Huddle as her student. Huddle and Ney would remain close friends until Ney's death in 1907. Her and her husband, Dr. Edmund Duncan Montgomery, are buried next to each other in a grove of live oak trees at Formosa. Those two trees are ones they themselves had planted almost 40 years earlier.
In a speech given to the State Council of Women, Ney stated, "Art, when faithful to its highest mission, is the endeavor to embody in sense-given material, the spiritual aspirations, the emotional longings of humanity...It remains with us to bring about this higher, truly vital renaissance."
My education is never done. I am always learning. Some how, I am just now learning as I write this, that by looking into the past, I was perhaps getting a glimpse of my future. I long to have what Elisabet had. To do art, host salons, cultivate friendships, and help make a change in my community. This trip was before I would move to Atlanta and actually attend, and then later host, a salon of my own. I think of Elisabet Ney often. One of her last works was a statue of Lady MacBeth during the sleepwalking scene from Shakespeare's play. There I was, getting ready to leave Texas and go into a Shakespeare Internship.
I think back to 7th grade history. If I was not taught the importance of knowing the past, I never would have sought to find out more on my own. I never would have looked for more museums off the beaten path. I never would have met Elisabet Ney and dreamed that my life could be like hers. My 7th grade Texas History teacher taught me perhaps the most important lesson; He taught me how to learn.
One day, I don't remember how we got on this subject, Mr. Teach started off on a tangent about the phrase, 'That's how I was raised.'
"That whole saying is bullshit," Mr. Teach said.
Though, I doubt he swore. I'm adding it in for dramatic effect. My memory recalls a kid saying something racist, Mr. Teach scolding them, and then they retort back with that classic phrase, 'Well, sir, that's just how I was raised.'
"That is bullshit. The whole 'that's just how I was raised' is an excuse used for not wanting to learn something new. Often used for not wanting to learn how to treat others with respect. I will tolerate none of it. Everyone is capable of learning. Everyone is capable of re-learning."
It is never too late to learn too be a better person. It is never too late to restart your education. You never know what you may learn about the past. You never know what you may learn about yourself.

Fasid () is an Islamic religious concept meaning corruption.

In this context, it refers to corruption created by humans, as an embodiment of the 'Left Hand of Allah' (wrath) in relevance to tanzih (transcendence).

This corruption can only be wrought by humans, as they are made of clay, which can manifest darkness and evil.

The antonym of fasid is salih (wholesomeness) or salihat (wholesome deeds).

One manifestation of fasid is the human desire to control nature. Since nature, as with all things, is under the government of Allah, such an attempt becomes an act of insubordination and a rejection of Allah's Will.

With all of the winter weather we've been experiencing these past few weeks, it has felt impossible to accomplish anything. This week was the first week we haven't had a disruptive snowstorm to throw a wrench in my workweek since the end of January. It took me a week to catch my breath from the full throttle around the clock work schedule I have been working for nearly a month, but today was one of those days where I planted myself at my desk and got some actual work done.
There is nothing as satisfying for me than the feeling of being productive. The last few weeks have taken a toll on my emotional health, and I was about to throw my hands in the air, and say to hell with this. But things moved forward today in a manner that I can truly be grateful for, and I am glad to feel some relief from the emotional havoc and fatigue caused by the massive disruptions to my routine.
Today I am grateful to my laundry list of things I've been wanting to get around to, and even more grateful to say that I have made some good headway into them. I can thoroughly enjoy the weekend with a light heart!
The difference between my current life and the one I was living only a few months prior is vast. In San Francisco the pace of my life was fast; I was always busy with some activity and sleep was not something of which I was accustomed. Thinking back on this time, it is quite hard to imagine how I ever pushed myself as hard as I did. Since arriving here in Sete I've acclimated (a bit) to the idea of having very little to do.
Though my contract officially started October 1st, my job as an English assistant only started last Monday. That's to say, I spent the first 17 days of October chillin' like a villain. When I received my work schedule on my first day of school, I found out that out of the 12 hours a week I am contracted, I will split 9 hours between two different schools. 3 out of my 12 hours are being kept for "fun days." What does that mean, you ask? Fun days are basically a glorified English-speaking field day in which multiple assistants from around the region go to a school to play games with the kids. Thus, I work only Monday/Thursdays in my schools. Not too shabby.
My first week of teaching consisted of introductions and repetitive vocabulary about Vermont's four seasons. By the end of my last class I was about ready to throw all my stupid flash cards in the trash. However, my kiddies are adorable. I teach ages from CP to CM2 (ages 6-11). I've already got my eye on a few English speaking stars, and yes, as expected, there are also a few classes that are incredibly difficult to control. For the most part, however, I stand in front of a class of doe eyed elementary schoolers and I make a complete idiot out of myself as I pantomime everything I am saying…something I quite enjoy, and which comes naturally to me. With two (exhausting) days under my belt, I profit from the benefits of the French education system A.K.A. a completely unnecessary, but all the same, welcomed, 10 day paid vacation.
Though I've become a bit more lazy that usual with my 9 hour work week in the schools, it is part of my nature to fill some of my free time with things to do. I've picked up some work on the side working as a server/barista in a little café-bar called Bistro du Marché. I befriended the bar man, Adil, (who deserves his own post on here really soon) and I asked him if he needed help. It turns out he admires the American work ethic more than the French and decided to hire me. I work some weekends, but mostly when he needs me. It's been an excellent place to meet people, to practice my French in high stress situations, and it's a few extra euros in my pocket. Plus, I'm learning a trade I've never done before. More on this soon.
I also picked up a language partnership. Like I discussed in a previous post, jumping at any opportunity to make friends can prove beneficial. Not only do I have a new friend, but I also have a new French tutor. Two days a week, my friend, Flavien, and I get together to practice speaking in English and French. Our levels are pretty similar, which is helpful. He is also easy on the eyes and has lots of friends. Two of the girls he introduced me to are also foreigners like myself. His girlfriend, Mariko, is a Japanese girl who works in Sete's only sushi resto and Maman is a Chinese girl who promised to cook me dumplings…. Can you tell I'm missing some San Francisco classics? Another huge plus, Flavien has a car and works in the same town as me. Thus, he has volunteered to drive me to work on Thursdays saving me from having to take the train. Flavien has been a catch.
Travel is another things filling that will be filling up my free time. Tomorrow, my roommate, Ashley, and I are off to explore Bordeaux and Toulouse for a few days. As new members of couchsurfing.org, we've already hosted a lovely Québecoise at our appartment and will spend two nights being hosted in Bordeaux. I've been meeting great people from all over and I'm looking forward to making some new friends in some new places this vacation!
Okkk this was a long, not very well focused post, and I thank those of you who made it to the bottom. All is good. In fact, all is great, potentially even excellent.


"We're planning a trial in which we'll move small samples of different types of Gmail users to HTTPS to see what their experience is, and whether it affects the performance of their e-mail," Alma Whitten, a Google software engineer, wrote in a blog post. "Does it load fast enough? Is it responsive enough? Are there particular regions, or networks, or computer setups that do particularly poorly on HTTPS?"
HTTPS keeps e-mail encrypted as it travels between your web browser and servers and is mostly used for things like banks and credit card company Web sites. Google currently only uses https during the sign-in process to keep e-mail passwords private, but it ditches this path once you're inside Gmail because HTTPS tends to slow down your mailbox.
Last summer, Google announced that it would provide the option to enable HTTPS at all times. Google is now exploring the option to turn it on for every user, whether they opted in or not.
The privacy and security experts, which include the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, MIT, and AT&T Research, asked Google to deploy round-the-clock HTTPS for Gmail, Google Docs, and Calendar.
"Google customers who compose e-mail, documents, spreadsheets, presentations and calendar plans from a public connection (such as open wireless networks in coffee shops, libraries, and schools) face a very real risk of data theft and snooping, even by unsophisticated attackers," they wrote to Google chief executive Eric Schmidt. "Tools to steal information are widely available on the Internet."
Whitten said that free, always-on HTTPS is "pretty unusual in the e-mail business, particularly for a free e-mail service, but we see it as another way to make the web safer and more useful."
Google denied that cost was the reason against full deployment of HTTPS. "We want to more completely understand the impact on people's experience, analyze the data, and make sure there are no negative effects," Whitten wrote.
If the trial proves that there are no negative effects on the user experience, Google will consider turning on HTTPS "more broadly, hopefully for all Gmail users," Whitten said. "We're also considering how to make this work best for other apps including Google Docs and Google Calendar."

Swords, whips and cotton candy: The science of the circus
Elana Gordon
An unveiling of the science behind the circus blade box, a human blockhead, sword swallowing and more.
The circus is full of marvels of human strength and agility.
Contortionists. Acrobatics. Sword swallowing.
Stunts to make one's jaw drop and stomach turn.
A traveling exhibit on the history and science of the circus is on display at Philadelphia's Franklin Institute through the end of the month. But last Tuesday, displays came to life as hundreds turned out for real demos by the pros, partnered with scientists taking a jab at 'the how' of some of those magnificent feats.
The human blockhead
Danny Borneo of the Olde City Side Show says he's best known as the human blockhead.
"I shove sharp implements directly into the center of my skull," he tells The Pulse, quite matter-of-fact-ly.
Standing before a packed theater at the Franklin, Borneo wastes no time propping a six inch, stainless steel roofing nail up his nose.
The crowd gasps.
"I would say it's not comfortable, but not painful," Borneo later tells The Pulse.
He pauses.
"It's tolerable. Let's go with tolerable."
"I want to know what was missing in his head for the nail to go that deep!" says Jerome McLeod, who'd been sitting in the front row, laughing and at times cringing at Borneo's stunt.
Know your anatomy
Actually, it's not as bad as you think, explains Evan Goldman, an anatomy professor at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University.
"The problem is if you don't aim it in the right direction, there are two areas where you can really cause damage," he explains at a demo outside the theater. "Number one, you have these things in your nasal passages called conchae. Or in animals they're often called terbinates."
Goldman uses his own props to break down the stunt. He picks up a skull, and points inside the nasal passage to some barely visible, extremely delicate curved slivers of bone protruding from both sides toward the middle. They're normally lined with a mucus membrane.
"You can just barely see them when you look straight into a person's nose," he says. "So if you hit them you're going to be in a lot of pain with blood gushing all over the place. That's the structure that gets swollen when you have a stuffy nose."
Goldman then picks up a metal probe — imagine it's Borneo's nail — and demonstrates on the skull how, very carefully, it can slide through the nasal passage a few inches back. He lifts up the skull to show that the nail is essentially in the back of the mouth. That's because the back of the nasal cavity and the back of the oral cavity of the mouth are connected in an area called the pharynx.
Go too far beyond that, and you could hit another membrane, meaning more bleeding. Or worse:
"You're very, very close to the vertebral column. So if you jam a nail into your nose, you could hit the vertebrae, and those vertebrae are thin there so you could jam it into your spinal chord."
Yikes. Not good. So how does Borneo do it?
"He knows exactly how far to go," says Goldman. "And he's a good showman."
Back inside the theatre, nail still nestled in his nose, Borneo picks up another prop. It's a drill.
More audience gasping.
He puts it to the nail.
"Folks there's a problem," he says, after a couple seconds. "I hit a stud."
Don't be tricked: sideshows are about science
Borneo and his stage partner, Reggie Bugmuncher proceed to use props like straight jackets and eye hooks to show off the crazy stunts a human body, with extensive practice and training, can withstand.
The two conclude the evening with one final act: the famed 11 blade box.
"It's an exhibit of contortionism, if you will," Borneo says.
Bugmuncher lies down inside it. It's a narrow box, kind of like a coffin. Borneo proceeds to drop wide, stainless steel blades through slots that cut straight to the bottom. From the crowd's view, it's hard to imagine Bugmuncher is still in one piece. But alas, Borneo asks her to raise her hand if she's still there.
She does.
Borneo goes on to explain that while many watching may think it's a magic trick, it's not. The side show, he says, is not an act of illusions. It's about using science and a keen awareness of human anatomy to perform amazing physical stunts.
To prove this point, once all the blades are in the box, he opens the lid. He then invites the audience on stage, single file, to look inside and see just how Bugmuncher has maneuvered her body to avoid the blades.
Sure enough, as The Pulse peaks in, she's in there wrapped around the blades.
"It's snug," she says.
"The quote-on-quote secret of the majority of side show, is science!" she continues. "So for a bunch of carnies, there's a lot of really smart things happening involved in all of this. A lot of it is just the placement of my body and my ability to contort myself around where he's putting the blades."
So does it take a lot of practice?
"It does, but it's like riding a bike. You never forget."
The Philadelphia Franklin Institute exhibit is open until Sept. 1.

Power shortage
peak electricity deficit
Central Electricity Authority
Power shortage, peak deficit at all-time lows of 2.4 per cent, 3.2 per cent
The per capita electricity consumption on an all-India basis has risen from 883.6 units in 2011-12 to 1,010 in 2014-15, the highest ever.PTI | December 07, 2015, 17:02 IST
NEW DELHI: Power shortage is down to the lowest level ever at 2.4 per cent while peak electricity deficit has narrowed to 3.2 per cent in the current fiscal till October-end, Parliament was informed today.
"The energy shortage has been reduced from 8.5 per cent in 2011-12 to 2.4 per cent in the current year i.e. 2015-16 (up to October 2015), which is the lowest ever," Power Minister Piyush Goyal said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
The minister also informed the House that the peak shortage has shrunk to 3.2 per cent in a period up to October 2015, also an all-time low.
The per capita electricity consumption on an all-India basis has risen from 883.6 units in 2011-12 to 1,010 in 2014-15, the highest ever, the House was informed.
In a separate reply, the minister stated that 6,54,639 million units (MUs) of electricity were generated between April to October this year, including 5,38,948 MUs (thermal), 93,739 MUs (hydro) and 21,952 MUs (nuclear).
Giving an update on power plants, the minister said that as per the Central Electricity Authority, there is no such facility that is unable to start production because of non-availability of coal.
The generation capacity of plants currently under various stages of construction is around 1,00,803 MW and the projected dates of commissioning is progressively up to the end of 13th Plan i.e. 2021-22.
During the 12th Plan, a hydro capacity addition of 10,897 MW is planned, of which projects with an aggregate capacity of 3,461 MW have been commissioned up to September 30, 2015.
On the Teesta power project, the minister said the work has restarted from October 1, 2015.
Goyal also told the House that as on November 30, 2015, 29 transmission schemes (projects) have been awarded through tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB), of which four have been commissioned.
In addition, 10 transmission schemes have been recommended for award through the TBCB route, he added.

Police officers will be re-visiting a murder scene in Sheffield today - one month on after a young dad was stabbed to death on a city street.
To help catch the killer of 22-year-old Jarvin Blake, police officers are due to spend time in Burngreave, where he was attacked, in a bid to trace witnesses.
They will be handing out posters and urging anyone with information about the stabbing to come forward.
Jarvin, from Gleadless, was stabbed at the junction of Catherine Street and Brackley Street on Thursday, March 8.
A car pulled up alongside the dad-of-three and a number of people jumped out and chased him before he was fatally injured.
A 23-year-old friend he was with at the time was also attacked but survived.
Jarvin had three young children aged five, three and just seven months old.
Yesterday, his heartbroken partner, Kelsey Dixon, paid tribute to him, describing him as a 'fantastic dad'.
She revealed that their young son keeps asking when his daddy is coming home.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve Handley said: "This brutal attack has resulted in not only the loss of a young man's life, but has also left three small children without a father, and his fiancée robbed of her partner.
"We must provide answers for his family and identify those responsible, but we need you, the local communities', help."
He added: "To understand exactly what happened on the afternoon of the fatal attack, we have been working extensively over the past four weeks. We have reviewed hours of CCTV footage, executed searches at nine properties, made house to house enquiries and identified various, possible forensic opportunities.
"Our investigation is at a critical stage and the information you provide could be key in assisting to hold those responsible to account."
Four men, aged 24, 25, and two 26-year-olds, have been arrested in connection with the death and are all on bail pending further enquiries.
Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 01709 443528 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.


After hitting the market in 2013, it looks like the Mercedes-Benz GLA will finally have a facelifted model. Spy shots of the vehicle while undergoing testing recently surfaced online.
Based on the spy photos, the changes in the new GLA will be minor. The covered areas of the auto in the images here indicate where the tweaks in design will take place.
Looking at the wrapped areas, the GLA will receive cosmetic upgrades in the bumpers and lights only. The other exterior features of the SUV's predecessor are retained.
The source of the spy shots said that the upcoming GLA will likely keep the engine trims present in the current model. Mercedes might not change the power units of the GLA lineup because it just updated them for the 2016 model year.
If the existing engine specs of the range will be followed in the facelifted GLA, expect a 2.0-liter inline-four power unit for its standard model. The output will most probably be at 208 hp. The power of the updated GLA will be distributed by the same seven-speed dual clutch unit for its front wheel drive variant with an optional all-wheel drive version.
The range-topping model of the segment will still be the Mercedes-AMG GLA45. Although it will carry the same 2.0-liter inline-four, its output will be boosted at 375 hp.
The facelifted Mercedes GLA will be unveiled in 2017. The auto will have 2018 as its model year.

Cash boost to help feed elderly and vulnerable people in Edinburgh
The charity will be targeting local older people most affected by the restrictions.
LifeCare Meals on Wheels team - Eddie Williams, Iwonna Morgan, Anthony (Tony) Akers
Submitted by Claire Montgomery
A leading charity which supports Edinburgh's elderly has secured £100,000 funding from a special Covid-19 fund set up by Barclays Bank.
The cash boost means that LifeCare Edinburgh will be able deliver its important new 'meals on wheels' service set up to support some of the most vulnerable and isolated local older people through the crisis.
The Stockbridge-based charity has almost 80 years of experience supporting older people living across the city. The range of support services offered by the care organisation allows older residents to comfortably stay in their own home for longer. For example, the charity runs essential help at home services, registered outreach services and hosts three day centres for those with dementia and the frail elderly living throughout the city.
However, the crisis and the subsequent restrictions, has radically affected the usual range of in-person care services offered by the charity.
LifeCare has had to adapt and launch new programmes of support, to ensure that those in need continue to receive the high-quality support older people urgently need.
This will be particularly important over the challenging winter months ahead when older vulnerable people will require more support than ever to maintain physical and mental health and to remain connected to others through this unprecedented time.
Kirstine Fergusson, Interim CEO of LifeCare, said: "We are so grateful to Barclays for this phenomenal level of support. The £100,000 award will enable our dedicated teams to deliver 100 hot meals a day to some of the most vulnerable and isolated older people living across our local communities right now.
"We all know that the colder, winter months ahead look a little harder for us all this year, but this is particularly true for the people we continue to support every day.
Scott Stewart, Head of Barclays Scotland, said: "This crisis has had an unprecedented impact across Scotland and we know this is an incredibly challenging time for many communities. By reaching those most in need of support LifeCare is playing a vital role in this crisis.
"We hope that the donations we are making to charities across Scotland, including LifeCare, will allow them to amplify their vital work and support more people as the crisis develops."
This new meals on wheels service will be managed by the team working within LifeCare's renowned community café on Cheyne Street, Edinburgh, Lothian, by their Help at Home service.
The small team will deliver 14,000 freshly prepared hot meals the coming months. The charity will be targeting local older people most affected by the restrictions.
If you, or someone you know, would like to benefit from the meals on wheels service please call 0131 343 0940.

It's one of the oldest and most proven ways to make money – buy low, sell high. The buy low part comes from searching garage sales, estate sales, and even thrift stores to find items that are in good condition ("gently used") but selling well below what they would if they were brand-new. In this way, you might be able to acquire an item for $5, and later sell it for $50.
If you can find and restore items like furniture and appliances, you can make a substantial amount of money. You can acquire the items on Craigslist, or even at garage sales or estate sales, restore them, and then list them for sale on the site. You may also be able to market certain items on eBay, particularly if they are small, unusual, but high in price.
Employees who telework may feel pressure to produce more output in order to be seen as valuable, and reduce the idea that they are doing less work than others. This pressure to produce output, as well as a lack of social support from limited coworker relationships and feelings of isolation, leads to lower job engagement in teleworkers.[34] Additionally, higher-quality relationships with teammates decreased job satisfaction of teleworkers, potentially because of frustrations with exchanging interactions via technology.[80] However, coworker support and virtual social groups for team building had a direct influence on increasing job satisfaction,[66][73] perhaps due to an increase in skill variety from teamwork and an increase in task significance from more working relationships.
Start a bed and breakfast. If you live in a popular resort area or own a historic property, a B&B might be the perfect side hustle. Not only can you work at home with this career, but you'll also score some tax write-offs in the process — although most innkeepers caution that the profession requires a lot of hard work and is more of an attractive lifestyle than a money-making pursuit.
If you work remotely, it is easy to be forgotten. This is both true if you are one of the few employees who does not go into the office, and if you are one of many. If you miss meetings, be sure to pitch ideas via email or other correspondence, or attend virtually if possible. If you, say, work in a different city from the main branch of your office, suggest a company-sponsored meetup with other employees in your area, or plan a trip to visit headquarters when you can. Weigh in on group conversations on Slack. Tell jokes. Make yourself known (but not annoying.) This will make you more visible (and potentially important) to your boss, and it will make you feel less isolated.
Thanks to the internet there's now a wide assortment of ways to make money online. So if you are stuck in a dead-end job and would like to change your life around then this guide will provide actionable strategies to enable you to do so. Whether you are looking for ways to make a bit of extra money, a part-time job or want to create a full-time income stream, there are plenty of opportunities to do so, all online and from the comfort of your own home.
Musely is a marketplace for affordable, eco-friendly beauty and home products, as well as a platform for women to share and receive advice about living a healthier lifestyle. "Muses," who have already submitted over a million tips about everything from wellness to fashion to home decor, can earn money by referring friends to the platform and collecting commissions from products they recommend.
Hold a yard sale. If you have a yard or garage and plenty of items to sell, you can have a yard sale as early as tomorrow. By advertising your sale on local Facebook pages and Craigslist, you can also skip the paid newspaper ad and keep all of the profits for yourself. If you don't have time to price everything, try asking patrons to "make an offer" or grouping similar items on tables with an advertised price (e.g. everything on this table is $5).
A 2007 study of National Science Foundation employees indicated that approximately one-third participated in telework regularly, characterized staff satisfaction with the program, and noted savings in employee time and greenhouse-gas emissions as a result of telework.[102][103] Rep. Sarbanes (D-MD) introduced the Telework Improvements Act of 2009 in March 2009. Co-sponsors of the bill included Reps. Connolly (D-VA), Wolf (R-VA), and Capito (R-WV). The bill requires each executive agency to establish a policy under which employees may be authorized to telework to the maximum extent possible without diminishing employee performance or agency operations. At the same time in the U.S. Senate, Sen. Akaka (D-HI) introduced the companion bill, along with Sens. Landrieu (D-LA) and Voinovich (R-OH).[104]
Considering that you have a finite amount of time, passive income should make up a large part of your work. And if you're serious about generating any semblance of income online, then passive income should be one of your sole goals and ambitions. Why? Simply this. Wouldn't you prefer to do the work one time and get paid repeatedly as opposed to relying on your time to generate that income?
While you play, the app works in the background and transfers small sums from your checking account into a high-yield Blast savings account based on "triggers" you set — things like the number of opponents you defeat or enemy bases you destroy. You can earn extra cash by completing "missions" that allow you to test new games or take familiar games to the next level.
"I love being a part of TTEC@home because of the flexibility of the schedule. There are way more benefits to working from home than most people realize. I save money on transportation and clothing. I save time. I have a tax write-off. And I have less anxiety. The bonus of working with TTEC is that I've met some great people and have learned new skills."
As well as selling your eBooks, Amazon can also create paperback copies of your book. CreateSpace, an Amazon-owned company, will help you self-publish your book. A relatively straightforward process, you must upload your work to CreateSpace and submit it for review. Your book will then be displayed on Amazon, and printed on demand and shipped by CreateSpace when purchased. And you can collect up to 70% royalties for each book sold.
Consider ergonomic best practices when choosing a desk, chair, keyboard, mouse, phone or headset, and other core pieces of your workspace. Standing desks have gained in popularity and have been shown to offer huge health benefits. Pay attention to natural lighting, air circulation, wall colors, artwork, and plant life in your home office space to maximize its wellness powers.
Phony job listings on legit job-hunting websites. One fraudulent group was listing fake jobs on CareerBuilder, which is an otherwise respectable site. The group was charging a big fee for a background check before consideration of any applicants. Federal, state and local authorities received more than 17,000 complaints filed by people who were ripped off by this particular group. And that's just the number of people who found their way to complain. Who knows how many others were taken?
If you have any gently-used items you're looking to offload, list them on Mercari with a photo, description, and price. Once a buyer makes a purchase, you can ship it using a prepaid and pre-addressed envelope. After your customer receives the package, they rate the purchase and issue payment. Mercari takes 10 percent of each sale as its fee, but that's still lower than the standard 20 percent that most companies claim.
Hi reader in the U.S., this Sunday we need your help. As you probably know, unpaid volunteers contribute virtually all the content on Wikipedia. They write and edit because they want to contribute to knowledge. Nevertheless, the technology necessary to keep this service fast and reliable costs money to support. Would you be willing to make a donation in return for what Wikipedia has provided to you?
Social networks are a hot spot for work-at-home danger. One company called Easy Tweet Profits claims you can make up to $873/day online. They even claim one person earned $400,000/year using their method of tweeting your way to success. The catch? By signing up for their program you agree to be charged just under $50/month! There are a whole host of other companies with similar names (usually involving "make money" or "make profits") that suggest social networking can be a cash cow. But their game is all the same. Whether you're talking about something you see on Craigslist, eBay, Facebook, Twitter or whatever's the next hot thing, you've got to be wary.
Starting a podcast, like making a YouTube channel or blog, comes down to telling interesting stories and building an engaged audience. I'm probably sounding like a broken record by now, but you need a niche that you're interested in and there's already a demand for. Come up with a list of topics you'd like to talk about and then search iTunes charts, Google Trends and other podcast research sites like cast.market to see what's currently out there and popular.
If you fall into the former camp, good for you! If you're in the latter, though, consider investing in a planner or making a bullet journal. Keep a checklist of your to-dos, and give yourself a small reward (a piece of chocolate, a gold star sticker) when you cross off the whole list each day. "I use a planner every day," Saedi Bocci says. "I write down what my goals are for the next day. A planner can really help to keep you accountable."
Drive for Uber or Lyft: If you're in a locale where you can find Uber or Lyft (or even one of the many competitors around the world such as China's Didi), you could easily make a respectable income. The hours are flexible and you can work as you see fit, making it perfect even if you currently have full-time employment but are looking to make some money on the side.
Blogging is a great side hustle because you can do it at your own pace anywhere you want. It's not a quick and easy way to make money, but there are a lot of ways to make money side hustling while blogging. You can sell advertising, become an affiliate for other people's products, sell your own online product, and more. It does take time to build up an audience to be able to make a decent amount of money, but once you have a large following, you could earn over $15,000 per month or more (we do).
Creating space for banner ads on your website is another way to generate a revenue from adverts. However, for this type of advertising, you will need to contact businesses directly and ask them if they would like to advertise on your website. The upside is that you can charge a set amount, or even a recurring monthly fee, to business to promote their services on your site. Using a WordPress plugin like AdSanity is an effective way to manage this type of advertising.
As a TTEC@Home associate, you'll use our technology to support and assist customers with a variety of customer service and technical needs. This could include helping customers over the phone, via chat, or on social media. Best of all, you can do it all while wearing your slippers or flip flops! (To get started, you'll need internet access and a home phone. Bunny slippers are optional.)
Three of the five job attributes: skill variety, task identity, and task significance, influence how much employees think their jobs are meaningful.[33] Skill variety is the degree that a job requires a variety of activities and skills to complete the task. An increase in skill variety is thought to increase the challenge of the job. Increasing the challenge of the job increases the individual's experienced meaningfulness, how much the individual cares about work, and finds it worthwhile.[30][33] Telework may not directly affect skill variety and task meaningfulness for the individual compared to when he or she worked in an office; however, skill variety and meaningfulness of individual tasks can increase when working in a group. If the work done at home is focused on the individual rather than the team, there may be fewer opportunities to use a variety of skills.[43] Task identity is the degree that the individual sees work from beginning to end or completes an identifiable or whole piece of work rather than only a small piece. Task significance is the degree that the individual feels his or her work has a substantial impact on the lives or work of other people within the organization or outside the organization.[33][43] Telework may not change the job characteristics of skill variety, task identity, and task significance compared to working in an office; however, the presence of these characteristics will influence teleworkers' work outcomes and attitudes.
25. Products – You can create your own product, such as an ebook or computer software. You would then use your blog as a promotion tool to get people to buy your product. As long as you create a legitimate product with a whole lot of value, you should be able to get some buyers, but like everything else with a blog, you'll need the traffic to get the sells.
Fiverr: Israeli-based Fivver was started in 2010 by Shal Wininger and Micha Kaufam. It's a great resource for selling just about any service online. You can offer gigs as low as $5 but also get paid much more for upgrades and add-ons. There are plenty of providers earning 6 figures on Fiverr so it's definitely a worthwhile cause for generating a healthy income. Just ensure that you provide some serious value.

When I worked in an office, all I wanted was to stay at home on my couch. Six months into staying at home on my couch, I spent six hours crying on it because I couldn't take the solitude. I do not miss the commute, or having to fit in errands on my lunch break, or never being able to go to the dentist, or having my boss ask me every fifteen seconds why I was giggling when I was supposed to be blogging about a murder (probably I was watching a cute animal video because sometimes you need a break from murder), or feeling like my soul climbed out of my body at 2 p.m. when the coffee wore off but I still had to be at my desk for four more hours.

Also keep in mind that communication with a telecommuting team requires an extra layer of crystal clear clarity. Since almost everything is done via email (and there are no facial or body clues to read), you'll need to make sure that you mean what you, um, type. I've found that shorter, more succinct sentences go a lot farther than long-winded soliloquies.
In bad weather, I have a habit of talking myself out of going outside, but you should not! Bundle up, walk around the block, walk in circles, walk to a coffee shop, walk to the drugstore, walk to the train and walk back without getting on. Some people find it helpful to go outside first thing in the morning, before sitting down to work; I prefer midday, but whatever you choose, do it before it gets dark. GET OUTTTTTTT. "Schedule breaks. When you have those breaks, get out of the house," Cavaiola says. "Take a walk, maybe go have coffee someplace, where you're going to have contact with others. This way you're not totally isolated."
As a stay at home mom I recommend "Medical Coding" as a wonderful work from home option. Yes, you will need training. You can't just code medical records without having proper training. However, this is a real and promising career. I used to work for "Career Step" and they have an awesome Medical Coding course. http://www.referral.careerstep.com/mc?ref=43233 Their training is done online and is self-paced. You could finish the program in 4 months but 6 months is probably more realistic. They do however give you up to a year to get it all done. Their program prepares you to become certified by the American Health Information Management Association and the American Academy of Professional Coders. They work with companies such as CIOX Health, Lexicode, OS2-HCS, TrustHCS, Inovalon, Mckesson that hire their grads to work from home right out of the program. The average salary for this career is about $40,000. Their entire program including books, instructors and job assistance is around $3,000 and they offer sweet payment plans.

"Work from Home" is a song recorded by American girl group Fifth Harmony featuring American singer Ty Dolla Sign.[2] The song impacted contemporary hit radio four days after its initial release on March 1, 2016 and was released as the lead single from the group's second studio album, 7/27 (2016).[3] "Work from Home" was written by Daniel Bedingfield, Joshua Coleman, Dallas Koehlke, Jude Demorest, Tyrone Griffin, Jr., Alexander Izquierdo, and Brian Lee[4] with production from Coleman and Dallas Koehlke. The song is primarily an R&B track that incorporates elements of trap music and tropical house beats with lyrics depicting "work" as a euphemism for sex. Many music publications included it in their lists of best songs of the year.[5][6][7][8]

Whether you're looking to make some fast cash, or you're after long-term, more sustainable income-producing results, there are certainly ways you can make money online today. The truth is that making money online isn't as difficult as most make it out to seem. It does require some discipline. Sure. Without discipline, you'll find it tough to make a buck both online or offline.
"Work from Home" is an midtempo song with elements of trap music. Katherine St. Asaph of Pitchfork noted elements of Rnbass in its production,[22] while Meaghan Garvey from MTV found tropical house influences on its beats.[23] Discussing the song musically, Chris Martins from Billboard classified it as a "a pop-R&B confection that siphons off the a tropically tinted EDM pool."[19] According to the sheet music published by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Work from Home" is written in the time signature of common time, with a moderate tempo of 104–108 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of A♭ major as quintet's voices span the tonal nodes of G3 to F5. "Work from Home" follows a chord progression of Fm–D♭—A♭.[24]
What Employees Say: "The money is uncapped, and you're honestly in the driver seat of your bonus. This is the best (and easiest) incentive package I've ever had in the work field! There are also so many other perks that come with the job such as great benefits, fun culture, and TONS of room for growth. Amex really does believe in you!!." —Current Employee

Therefore, the scope for fees is much higher, as businesses have larger marketing budgets than humble bloggers. Having sponsored posts by large companies will also help promote your site as reputable and as a leader in its field.

If all Federal employees who are eligible to telework full-time were to do so, the Federal Government could realize $13.9 billion savings in commuting costs annually and eliminate 21.5 billion pounds (9,800,000 t; 9,600,000 long tons) of pollutants from the environment each year.[100] Events in 2007 have pushed telework to the forefront as a critical measurement for the U.S. federal government. Telework relates to continuity of operations (COOP) and national pandemic preparedness planning, reducing dependence on foreign oil and the burden of rising gas prices, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC), and a focus on recruitment and retention. During a keynote address at the September 12, 2007 Telework Exchange Town Hall Meeting, Lurita Doan, at that time the Administrator for the General Services Administration, announced an aggressive commitment goal to increase agency telework participation. Her challenge would enable 50 percent of eligible agency employees to telework one or more days per week by 2010. As of 2007, 10 percent of eligible GSA employees telework, compared to 4.2 percent for the overall Federal workforce. Her goals were to increase participation to 20 percent by the end of 2008, 40 percent by the end of 2009, and finally 50 percent by 2010.[101]

Telecommuting, also called telework, teleworking, working from home, mobile work, remote work, and flexible workplace,[1][2] is a work arrangement in which employees do not commute or travel (e.g. by bus or car) to a central place of work, such as an office building, warehouse, or store. Teleworkers in the 21st century often use mobile telecommunications technology such as Wi-Fi-equipped laptop or tablet computers and smartphones to work from coffee shops; others may use a desktop computer and a landline phone at their home. According to a Reuters poll, approximately "one in five workers around the globe, particularly employees in the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, telecommute frequently and nearly 10 percent work from home every day."[3] In the 2000s, annual leave or vacation in some organizations was seen as absence from the workplace rather than ceasing work, and some office employees used telework to continue to check work e-mails while on vacation.[citation needed]
Motivator-hygiene theory[45] differentiates between motivating factors (motivators) and dissatisfying factors (hygienes). Factors that are motivators such as recognition and career advancement may be lessened with telework. When teleworkers are not physically present, they may be "out of sight, out of mind" to other workers in the office.[46] Additionally, telework may not always be seen positively by management due to fear of loss of managerial control.[47] A 2008 study found that more time spent telecommuting decreased the perception of productivity of the teleworker in the eyes of management.[48] Hygiene factors, such as work conditions, may improve when teleworking such that teleworkers have the flexibility to work in a variety of locations.[44][46] Thus, telework has different work motivating factors and dissatisfying factors than office work.[46]
Hello I am 26 and just hit a huge life crisis wall! I had a great job and was let go out of the blue, with little to no money left for bills and other.. I was scheduled to drive home from Florida to Michigan tomorrow with my boyfriend and he has no idea I have only $400 to my name I have no idea what to do or how to get enough money to get me through this trip.. I already have found a new job but I don't start until we are back in 10 days ! I feel like I am so underwater!
Telework centers are offices that are generally set up close to a majority of people who might otherwise drive or take public transit. They usually feature the full complement of office equipment and a high-speed Internet connection for maximum productivity. Some feature support staff, including receptionists or administrators. For example, a number of telework centers have been set up around the Washington Metropolitan Area: 7 in Maryland, 8 in Virginia, 3 in Washington, D.C. and 1 in West Virginia. Telework centers allow people to reduce their commute yet still work in a traditional office setting. Some telework centers are set up by individual companies while others are established by independent organizations for use by many organizations. Telework centers are attractive to people who do not have the space or inclination to work from home. They offer employers the ability to maintain a more formal structure for their workforce.

Date Announced: Fury To Fight For World Title
By Patrik Kuitunen 26th June 2017
The much-talked WBO heavyweight championship fight is finally official with a set date.
The WBO champion Joseph Parker and mandatory challenger Hughie Fury will fight on September 23rd in Manchester.
Fury was originally scheduled to fight Parker earlier this year but the younger cousin of Tyson Fury had to pull out due to a back injury. Before the world title fight, Fury will take a warm-up fight on July 8th at the Copper Box Arena.
For Parker, this will be his first fight in the UK and fifth fight outside of New Zealand. Their original bout was scheduled to take place in New Zealand on May 6th but Parker isn't fussed about the fact that he now has to defend his title on enemy territory.
"The idea of going to the UK is something I am looking forward to, and no I don't hold any grudges (about Fury not coming to NZ on May 6), I just go in there respect my opponent and do what I have to do. That's going in there and win the fight and defend my title and keep it here," said Parker according to boxingscene.com.

At this years VMworld in Las Vegas, VMware introduced project AppBlast. AppBlast enables you to use remote applications of any type and platform and deliver them to any HTML5 browser or device. It doesn't matter if you're using Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS. You don't need to install any client, it's all pure HTML5.
AppBlast will provide the universal delivery of any application, including Windows-based applications, to any off-the-shelf browser or device supporting HTML 5, enabling instant remote access to non-HTML based applications. It enables you to utilize multiple types of applications from your client devices in a transparent and cross-platform manner, which is vital to the post-PC era we are entering.
At VMworld in Las Vegas, VMware's chief technology officer for End-User Computing, Scott Davis showed a demo on his MacBook, running AppBlast in Google Chrome. In my opinion, ground breaking technology which will change the end user computing landscape! How? Read on….
If you want to run a Windows applications on an iPad or Mac today, you always need to install some client software and use a technology like server based computing or VDI to deliver the applications to your client device. But with AppBlast, there is no need for a client. As I often say to colleagues and customers, the operating system is a necessary evil in delivering your applications. It is the transport layer for your applications and it is the limiting factor in application/operating system compatibility.
Now, with technologies like AppBlast, we can get rid of this limiting factor and deliver applications on every end user device as long as it supports rendering HTML5. It not only enables you to deliver applications to every device, it also eliminates the cost of application migration projects.
Desktop Virtualization already significantly lowered most of the migration hurdles by breaking the relationship between hardware, operating system, applications and user settings. But, although you could swap Windows XP for Windows 7, you were still bound to the (Windows) operating system. OK, you can install client software on your Linux, Mac or iPad, delivering Windows applications to any platform, but you are still bound to the available client software. With AppBlast this is a thing of the past. So, it gives you the flexibility to deliver applications to any end user device with HTML5 support, it eliminates operating system/application compatibility limitations and it reduces the costs of migrating and maintaining a IT infrastructure.
It's all great, game changing, ground breaking but I have a few questions.
How will Microsoft react? Personally, I like it when we can deliver Windows based applications to a robust Apple operating system or the other way around, stable Apple applications to the Microsoft operating system. I can definitively see the advantages. However, Microsoft probably won't like it when we're able to deliver Microsoft applications to all end user devices, MacBook, iPad, Android, without the use of the Microsoft operating system. This will probably have an effect of the application or operating system price and/or the license conditions. Will this be the first big leap into a world without the need for an OS?
The geek in me wonders how this works? What do we need as a back-end? What are the prerequisites?
We need to install the application somewhere to deliver it by using HTML5. Is this done on a View back-end where every desktop delivers one session of the application or do we need multi session aware applications again?
VMware is changing from a virtualization company to an IT solution company. Will they keep focusing on virtualization?
With AppBlast, Octopus, Zimbra, etc VMware is entering into markets and technologies outside its fundamental expertise. By doing this, VMware is not only playing in new areas, it's also entering areas who's agendas it can't set. VMware risks distracting itself from its core markets. The enterprise data center is VMware's to lose.
Regarding point 1, I think Windows 8 might very well be the last version of Windows as we know it. Yes, it has a 'finger friendly' interface, but it is far from the user-friendliness you wish on a tablet like device.

Chloe x Halle Breakdown Inspiration For 'Ungodly Hour'
The word "cute" has officially been unacceptable in describing Chloe x Halle ever since they dropped their self-produced project, Ungodly Hour.
The newest album release had a surprising sound and message about the sisters who've made the decision to step into adulthood with a more grown and sexy vibe. Halle explained:
"Everybody has this perception of us as being these two little perfect angels. For this album, we kind of wanted to show another side of us. Show the side that people do not see during the ungodly hour. You know, those late hours, you're thinking about all your insecurities and your flaws, all of the bad things and the naughty things. We just kind of wanted to put that all in the album and let people hear that side of us to see the layers that it is to be a woman."
Without dishing too much so not to get in trouble with Disney, she also shared a bit about what it was like to be in London while shooting The Little Mermaid. Halle expressed how much fun it was to have her family visit her occasionally. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to tell us how long production has been pushed back because of the COVID-19 lockdown.
Things took a personal turn with they mentioned their love lives. Chloe told how their father raised them to be "strong, independent women" so it takes a "strong" man to handle them when in a relationship. That being said, it's no surprise they admitted to not liking someone the other sister was dating at some point in time. *Enter a little Diggy Simmons shade.*
A mini breakdown of the song "Busy Boy" was brought into the chat because fans assumed it was about Chloe's former relationship with her Grown-ish co-star. We'll continue to be left guessing, because both ladies stayed hush on confirming if the digs on Diggy were accurate. One thing she did say is that he's been very supportive of the praise Ungodly Hour has received, regardless of the his backlash. We also got an in-depth look into what sparked "Wonder What She Thinks Of Me." Halle took the floor to admit it was based on a situation she went through. It's a song they described as "the perfect side chick anthem."
Find out the qualities the girls look for in a man, what it's like working with someone they see everyday, being unapologetic black women and more.
