![]() ![]() I needed this much time because the pressure of a sophomore album is real. Was there any particular reason for the extended break? Of course there was ONEPOINTFIVE in the middle of it, but the true wait for your debut album’s follow-up was very long, in rap years. The break between Good for You and Limbo was three years. I have a little bit, but I haven’t fully done it the way I want it to be yet, because I’m not Michael Jackson, or Madonna, or that level at all yet. What would honestly bring me a lot of joy, as crazy as this sounds, is exactly what I talk about in the hook of “Woodlawn.” When I say, “You ain’t really on til all your niggas on,” it means I’ve reached a point in my life where I’m happy with what I’ve done with my career, and there’s still a lot more I want, but it would bring me a lot of joy to be able to put on family, to be able to put on friends. What does “figuring it out” look like to you at this stage of your life? I want something that will last with people forever. Some stay, but a lot of them come and go. ![]() Rappers my age are putting out projects every other week. This album is for people to understand I’m literally a human. Because the idea of a celebrity, or a rapper, or whatever the hell it is, when you’re put on this pedestal, people expect you to know exactly what to say or to have the best advice. I still don’t know what I’m doing, and that’s what I really wanted fans to know. It doesn’t mean it’s bad or good, it just … I don’t know. The way you think about life as a kid completely changes and morphs into who you end up becoming when you’re 26. When I was in high school, I thought that when I was 26, I would have kids, a wife, and a car. I still feel like a college kid trying to become an adult right now. And I completely scrapped them, because by the end of making this album with my co-executive producer Pasque, we both agreed that no matter how much success we’ve reached with Good for You, or ONEPOINTFIVE, we’re still figuring it out. I had a bunch of titles in mind for this project that I had drafted up and had written for like two years. It came from an actual feeling that I’ve had for a long time. The album feels, and sounds, like the musings of a person that’s stuck in more ways than one. I personally chose the title for completely different reasons. Personally, I’m not a fan of being on the nose of things, of the times, or of anything, really, ever, so the title just kind of worked out in our favor when it came to the timing. What’s fucking crazy is I had it for about a year and a half - way before this pandemic, before everything. How long have you been sitting on that title? ![]() Limbo is a fitting name for an album coming out right now when we’re all in limbo, in a sense, due to the pandemic. Now he’s ready to explain his personal limbo - and why he believes he’s still stuck in it. Recorded over the past two years, Limbo is a time capsule of the feelings, experiences, and personal thoughts that, up until now, Aminé was hesitant to reveal. He’s now wiser, wearier, and eager to show people that despite having a gold album plaque under his belt and more than 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify around the world, he doesn’t actually have it all figured out. The following year, he shared an “LP/EP/Mixtape/Album” ONEPOINTFIVE this summer saw him branch out to acting with a small role on Insecure, which arose from his friendship with Issa Rae, who’d appeared in his 2017 “Spice Girl” video. After signing with Republic Records that same year, he released an equally cheery debut album, Good for You, in 2017. It’s also a large step for Aminé, born Adam Aminé Daniel, who first won teen hearts and ears by rapping about a “bad thang” that was “fine as hell” on his vibrant, charismatic debut single “ Caroline” in 2016. It’s from the viewpoint of new adulthood through a shattered window, cracked by failed relationships, realizations about money, and discoveries about happiness. These days, the 26-year-old rapper smokes to get away from the feelings at the center of Limbo, his long-awaited sophomore album. “It has really calmed down my anxiety and my paranoia.” “Once I accomplished the dream of becoming a musician, a lot of weight kind of came off of my shoulders, and I kind of just wanted to try it for the first time,” he says on a call from Los Angeles, a week before his new album was set to drop on August 7. A lot’s changed since then, including some of his reservations. Growing up he avoided status symbols, even smoking, unsure of what his self-control would be like as he worked frantically, and desperately, to make it out of Portland. For Aminé, blazing a fresh joint is the same high as turning over the ignition to a new Lamborghini Urus. ![]()

Last year, 31 New Mexico lawmakers now sent a letter to the U.S. Elk, too, are to blame for damaging fences meant to keep cows in check. Increased use of public lands - including hunting and hiking - also has resulted in knocked-down fences, the association said. The New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association estimates roughly 90 grazing parcels are vacant in New Mexico and Arizona. Some have left the business because of worsening drought, making water scarce for cattle, and skyrocketing costs for feed and other supplies. Ranchers say fewer people are maintaining fences and gone are the rural neighbors who used to help corral wayward cows. Ranching industry groups and other rural advocates are concerned that the action taken in New Mexico could set a precedent as more grazing parcels become vacant across the West. “The feral cattle in the Gila Wilderness have been aggressive towards wilderness visitors, graze year-round, and trample stream banks and springs, causing erosion and sedimentation,” she said in a statement. A helicopter will launch Thursday, with shooters spending four days looking for feral cattle in rugged areas that include the Gila River.įorest Supervisor Camille Howes said it was “a difficult decision” but necessary. They said the action violates federal regulations and will be problematic when carcasses are left to rot.Ī section of the Gila Wilderness will be closed to the public starting Monday. ![]() Ranchers, meanwhile, have criticized the plan to shoot cows from a helicopter as animal cruelty. The Gila National Forest issued the decision amid pressure from environmental groups who raised concerns about nearly 150 cattle whose hooves and mouths are damaging streams and rivers. The move sets the stage for legal challenges over how to handle unbranded livestock and other stray cows as drought deepens in the West. Forest Service managers approved the plan Thursday to protect sensitive spots in the nation’s first designated wilderness area. A helicopter with a shooter will fly over a portion of the vast Gila Wilderness in southwestern New Mexico next week, searching for feral cows to kill. ![]() ![]() This is billed as a re-imagining of the Tycoon genre.

This is why it’s helpful to know what specific cultural differences are. You want to accord people the same respect you expect from them, but how you interact with them will depend a lot on their expectations about what particular interactions should look like. But that’s not the most effective way to navigate cultural differences. You may be tempted to follow the golden rule - and treat everyone exactly the way you would want to be treated. There may also be cultural differences between you and some of the customers and clients you serve. You may partner with organizations whose employees come from another part of the country. In a global organization, you may have colleagues that come from a different country. Next time you meet someone which has a different opinion, you will hopefully understand how people see things differently, that in their mind they are right and maybe you can you deal with them in a positive constructive way.In almost any business these days, you are guaranteed to interact with people whose cultural background is quite different from your own. The question is, how can it be done without insulting or being argumentative? I’ll save that for another post. Then based on that information, they can then present in a way that the prospect will relate to.Įverything said and done, it is still very possible to change someone’s viewpoint. Instead, the salesperson can ask questions to determine how their prospects see things. Knowing that each person views things differently should eliminate the salesperson from trying to sell to their prospects based on their (the salespersons) belief system. So instead of judging someone or arguing with them, maybe just see them as someone with a different viewpoint, that they see things differently. We all have different viewpoints which are based on having our own personal experiences which affect our belief system. Because it’s their own personal way of looking at things based on their experiences, values, etc? Who are we to say they are wrong, in their mind they are right. Now that you have an understanding of how people see things differently, does it make sense that each person’s views are their own? These filters in addition to our beliefs, values, attitudes, and experience cause us to see the world a certain way. Since we take in millions of information at one time we would have to filter it or we would have an overload. Information is taken in by our senses by either hearing, seeing and/or feeling something. So now take in every experience we’ve encountered and it forms part of who we are and how we view the world. If you receive lots of love you will see the world one way, if you encounter abuse in your life you will see the world a different way. Our filters and the way we see things are based on our experiences are values, which includes everything from the time we are born. It’s based on our own personal experiences and how we filter the information that comes into our heads.īasically, the information goes into our brains, then it’s filtered then it comes out. ![]() How Do People Get Their Opinion or View of the World? ![]() If we all could understand how people are programmed then it may be easier not to judge them, knowing that in each persons’ mind, they feel they are correct. They both did the same thing but their experiences were different. The other kids says, I hated it, I got sand all over me, the water was too rough. They both come out and one says they loved it, the waves were amazing, they feel really refreshed. We see things differently because each person has their own “true”, and it is this “true” that I am talking about.Įxample: You have two kids that go into the ocean. Like the world is round, that would be “truth: Everyone has their own “true” based on their viewpoints. We can say that “true” is what is true to each individual, their belief and “truth” would be a universal truth, what everyone would agree on. If you did have an understanding of how people see things differently, then maybe it would mean more to you and how you view your clients. It’s easy to say that everyone has their own perspective, but saying or hearing it is different from really understanding it. You’ve heard “the world according to…”, or “it’ your opinion”, or “everyone has their own perspective”. The phrase, “their perspective” what does it really mean? In this post, I may repeat things because of the importance of really understanding what I’m talking about. People see things differently and understanding this can make a big difference in how we deal with others. ![]() ![]() ![]() The newcomer “Licaitong”, which literally means a wealth management facility, serves as a spear for Internet giant Tencent, which wants to do full justice to its popular instant messaging smartphone app, Wechat, and gain a foothold in China’s increasingly competitive Internet finance sector. Tencent’s Wechat users transferred more than 800 million yuan to the app’s wealth management platform, “Licaitong” on Jan 22, the day it was launched, Morning Express reported Thursday. Tencent’s Wechat users transferred more than 800 million yuan to the app’s wealth management platform, “Licaitong” on Jan 22. “With the e-CNY app available in major mobile app markets, we are likely to see the pilot scope continue to expand to cover more users and more scenarios,” said Su Xiaorui, a senior analyst with consultancy Analysys. People also get to experience the digital yuan on an invitation-only basis.īut today, mega apps like WeChat-which has over 1 billion users-can provide the digital yuan with a huge boost if people begin to pay with it, analysts said.Īccording to Linghao Bao, an analyst at research firm Trivium China, the Chinese are so accustomed to the likes of WeChat Pay and Alipay that “it only makes sense for the central bank to team up with the usual daily mobile apps”. Unlike many other currencies, the RMB is a fixed exchange rate currency rather than a free-floating currency whose value is determined by the market. The e-CNY has the same valuation as the RMB. The e-CNY is a type of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and is issued by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC).Īs such, it is not a decentralized currency, and it also does not operate on the blockchain. The e-CNY forms part of the monetary base (M0) of the country, which means the digital currency makes up a portion of the ‘cash’ that is in circulation. It is designed mainly to be used for high-frequency, small-scale retail purchases and transactions. Yes, users will be able to transfer small sums of money (the amount will depend on the type of digital wallet they have) to peers, which will enable people to spend the virtual cash in more informal settings, such as repaying a friend for a meal or transferring money to a street vendor.

For instance, the player's left hand can be used to activate various abilities that can be used in combat such as telekinesis and ice jets while the right hand is mainly used to hold the various weaponry available in the game including pistols, electrified rifles, and a pitchfork that doubles as a large pair of scissors.
