Ather 450X subscription vs full-price purchase: What’s the difference?
We explain the difference between subscribing to the Ather 450X versus buying it at full price. Ever since the prices of the new Ather 450X were announced, there’s been considerable confusion and debate about the optional subscription plans. Some of the comments we received questioned the feasibility of these subscription plans (Plus and Pro), while some were curious about the benefits of the same. The company also offered the option of buying its new e-scooter without the subscription plans at an outright price of Rs 1.49 lakh and Rs 1.59 lakh for the Plus or Pro configuration, respectively. This has generated quite a bit of confusion and Ather has tried to clear doubts.But before we begin, if you're wondering why the Ather 450X suddenly seems far more expensive than the old 450 that cost Rs 1.13 lakh (ex-showroom), it is because it is. The company says it was losing a lot of money on every scooter sold at that price and they simply couldn't keep it going at that rate. Even at these new prices, Ather says it…

Polo G – “Go Stupid” (Feat. Stunna 4 Vegas & NLE Choppa)
The young Chicago rapper Polo G has a rare gift for bluesy, melodic, mournful takes on his hometown's drill sound. Last year's Die A Legend, my favorite rap album of 2019, was a heavy piece of work that burst with thought and feeling. And yet Polo G can also flat-out rap when he feels like it, and that's what he does on his new single "Go Stupid." He has company. "Go Stupid" is a summit meeting between three extremely hungry rappers who all had breakout years in 2019. On "Go Stupid," Polo G teams up with Stunna 4 Vegas, the frequent DaBaby collaborator from North Carolina, and the young Memphis insurgent NLE Choppa. All of them are young — Polo is 21, Stunna is 24, and Choppa is 17. And on "Go Stupid," all of them have energy. The song, which has no chorus, is just all three rappers ripping up a Mike Will Made-It/Tay Keith beat. It's fun as hell. In director Michael Garcia's "Go Stupid" video, all three rappers incite an unruly day at a high-school. It's the sort of cheesy, ridiculous

Yesterdaze: What are the odds?
On an international day of anonymous gift-giving, James Elliott looks at some anonymous gift-giving of our own and places some bets It’s Valentine’s Day, the day on which we celebrate the bloody beating and beheading of the Roman priest Valentine in 270 AD by sending people anonymous expressions of affection and gifts. It’s basically socially sanctioned stalking, as actively aided and abetted by retailers like florists, chocolatiers and sellers of Hallmark cards. It all sounds like jolly good fun and only a little bit creepy but as any politician will tell you, and as two active Serious Fraud Office investigations into political donations illustrate, the receiving of gifts, anonymous or otherwise, can be quite problematic. Just ask Winston Peters. One of the two SFO investigations relates to claims that NZ First funnelled monetary donations through the secretive NZ First Foundation to avoid public disclosure as required under the Electoral Act. And just to clarify, the foundation’s name is not the “Secretive…

These days, Shatner, 88, prefers to "stay out of the way" backstage until the movie ends and then appear on stage in front of audiences.

"The song that started hip-hop." This was in the summer of 2000, and Chic were playing a free show at Central Park SummerStage. Rodgers, never Chic's vocalist, still made for a great hypeman throughout the evening, throwing in asides about how everyone used to go off in the clubs to these songs. Halfway though "Good Times," Rodgers even underlined his point about the song, rapping a few bars of the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight."

German economy stagnates in sign of Europe's difficulties
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Growth ground to a halt at the end of the year in Germany, Europe’s largest economy, as manufacturing remained in a slump and exports fell, official figures showed Friday.The flat reading underlines the challenge facing the broader eurozone economy as it struggles against headwinds from the U.S-China trade dispute and Britain's departure from the European Union.Both the German and eurozone figures were the weakest since 2013, when the region was suffering from a debt crisis that nearly spelled the end of the euro currency.Germany's state statistics agency said Friday there was zero growth in the fourth quarter and a mediocre 0.6% increase for the whole year.

Trump's latest possible quid pro quo involves New York, airport travel, and his tax returns
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) visited President Trump on Thursday afternoon to try and negotiate the reversal of his administration's new ban on New Yorkers participating in the Global Entry and "trusted traveler" programs, which ease border crossings and airport security lines for enrolled travelers. Cuomo had low hopes, and they were met. The governor's office and acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said talks will continue. Before the meeting, Trump floated what appeared to be an offer he hoped New York couldn't refuse. Cuomo "must understand that National Security far exceeds politics," he tweeted, an apparent reference to the administration's purported rationale for blocking New Yorkers from the programs. "New York must stop all of its unnecessary lawsuits & harrassment [sic]." New York Attorney General Letitia James — who won a $2 million settlement from Trump over his canceled family charity and is suing him and his business on multiple fronts, including for his financial records — clapped back.…

Mumps cases soar to highest number in a decade
There were 5,042 recorded cases of mumps in England in 2019 – four times the number in 2018 and the highest level in a decade. Many of these cases were as a result of outbreaks in universities and colleges and most were in young adults who did not have the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) jab. A large number of the 2019 cases were people born in the late 1990s and early 2000s who missed out on the MMR vaccine when they were children. In 1998, doctor Andrew Wakefield led a study that linked the MMR vaccine to autism. His work was subsequently discredited and he was struck off, but uptake of the vaccine dropped to about 80% in the late 1990s and a low of 79% in 2003.

Worriers – “Big Feelings”
Next month, the hearty and melodic punk band Worriers will follow up their great 2017 album Survival Pop with a new one called You Or Someone You Know. For this one, they worked with John Agnello, the veteran indie rock producer whose credits include albums from Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile, and Waxahatchee. Worriers have already dropped the early tracks "PWR CPLE" and "Terrible Boyfriend," and today they've dropped another new one called "Big Feelings." Like so many other Worriers songs, "Big Feelings" is a sort of anthem about fumbling through the difficulties of being a human being and interacting with other human beings. It's also a big, charged-up midtempo jam with a very serious hook. It's funny how you can sound totally confident bashing out songs about not feeling confident at all. Worriers are heading out on tour soon with both Brian Fallon and John K. Samson, which makes a whole lot of sense, since the song gives off serious Gaslight Anthem/Weakerthans vibes. Those
'We’d love to see people use their tickets': Sooners, like most of college hoops, struggle to draw fans
NORMAN — Lloyd Noble Center was a stunning sight Wednesday night. The seats behind the baskets were virtually all empty for the OU-Iowa State basketball game. The seats in the corners contained scattered fans. Only the seats between the baselines were reasonably populated, and then only in the lower bowl. The Sooners produced an old-school result — a 90-61 rout in which six players scored in double figures, like it was 1990. But the attendance was alarming: a school-estimated 4,240, with 8,235 tickets sold. It might have been the smallest crowd for a conference game in 40 years. Kenny Mossman didn’t sleep well Wednesday night, having just come from the game. “Disappointed is probably the word that

It is sandstone country, with easily eroded hillsides stretching down to a river - the Wainuiora - that runs along the valley. The family has been planting trees for years to keep the land from slipping.
