I want people to dance to this song. I want this song to live as infinite endorphins.”The video sees him winning a basketball championship, and talking with his lady in the car.“The song fuses finger-snaps, hypnotic claps, and neon guitar loops together in one championing soundscape,” reads the press release. “Taking stock of his journey so far, Trey raps charismatically as he urges, ‘Don’t be mad at me ‘cause I grinded for ...

By Tamara Hardingham-Gill | CNNThey were only planning to drop in on a friend, but the lives of Robin Johnson and Jim Thaman changed for good when they paid a visit to Cajarc, a small village in southwestern France, in the summer of 2001.The US couple, who had been enjoying a vacation in the European country, were so taken with the pretty town, located in the center of the bucolic Lot Valley region, that they found themselves wondering what it would be like to live there.And a year later, they were doing just that.“When people ask, ‘how did you find this place?’ We say, ‘well the place found us,’” Johnson, who is an artist, tells CNN Travel.The pair, who’d been together for around two years before the trip, say they’d always dreamed of living in a different country and were in a position where they could “semi-retire.”“This offered us a way to start our life together with a blank canvas,” adds Johnson, originally from Michigan.Blank canvasRobin and Jim say they’ve spent betwee...

Electric vehicle ‘parking equity’ likely to change as more drivers convert: Roadshow

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:01 GMT

Q: I own a Genesis GV60. Like all Hyundai electric global modular platform (EGMP) EVs, they charge from 20% to 80% in 15 minutes. No need to wring hands over tying up parking spaces. After the initial period of complimentary public charging, we will all be charging at home anyway.Anyone buying a new car should get an EV, not an ICE (internal combustion engine).
