These Are The Careers That You Should Study So That You Never Lack Work (Word Of Bill Gates)
His knowledge of reality and his ability to anticipate trends have made the founder of Microsoft a visionary and one of the richest people on the planet
Bill Gates seems to have become the Nostradamus of the 21st century after his famous predictions, unthinkable until they have been fulfilled, such as that a great pandemic would devastate the world and that virtual medicine would be a reality (it has been since the outbreak of the coronavirus, precisely ). But no, the founder of Microsoft is not a fortune teller, but an excellent connoisseur of reality and, consequently, a great visionary. This ability to anticipate trends or the needs of the market and society is what led him to create the company that would make him a millionaire. Now, he is clear about the careers that young people should study to ensure a promising future; these are:
If the Covid pandemic has put something on the table, it is the evidence of a commitment to scientific research to face the great challenges that humanity faces in matters as divergent as medicine, climate change, and biology … It is nothing new, but now there are many governments and large companies that are betting on projects with a solid scientific basis. That has been what has saved us from the coronavirus with vaccines and also (why not say it) what has allowed some pharmaceutical companies to sign unprecedented millionaire agreements (for that they previously invested in research).
Now that there is so much talk about the metaverse and that artificial intelligence is increasingly a reality, engineering is the key to entering a completely new world and a labor market in which there is much more supply than demand. The right profiles are also so difficult to find that the salaries are well above what most workers can aspire to. The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, has also spoken in this regard, ensuring that studying engineering in the previous step to access the Artificial Intelligence sector, which will be much more present in the medium term.
And if there is a necessary profile in any type of organization, it is that of someone who not only manages the accounts but also can see the opportunities and risks of the market before they even arise. That is why Gates opts for the Economics degree, since he is, together with Science and Engineering, “an agent of change for all institutions”.


Outdoor Adventures for Kids in the Hilltowns
Spring 08 Afternoon Program
A nine week Monday afternoon (4pm-5pm) adventure program for kids ages 5-7 at the TMO Base Camp in Chesterfield, MA, starting April 7th and ending June 16th, 2008. Led by Program Coordinator, Timothy Vogel of Tekoa Mountain Outdoors.
Through age appropriate activities, young kids will explore their surrounding environment on foot and in a canoe while learning about ecology through outdoor adventures and activities. This nine week program will lead young Adventurers into the discoveries of spring while experiencing hikes, fishing and canoeing around the scenic 500 acre Base Camp in Chesterfield, MA. As spring arrives, bringing us April Showers, our young Adventures will explore vernal pools as the peepers emerge, make rain sticks to celebrate the season and hunt for insects. In May our young Adventures will go fishing while learning about fish habitat and local wildflowers and plants. And as we approach the summer months we’ll bring out the canoes and learn the basics of paddling and canoe safety. Our last day will conclude with a make-your-own ice cream social by using a tin can! Participants are asked to dress for the weather.
SPRING 08 SESSION
Week 1 – Monday (04/07/08 )
We will be starting off our spring session by making Rain Sticks and sharing their origins. Our young Adventurers will make a traditional Rain Stick out of materials found in their environment, and like people of other cultures, imitate the sound of rain. Having originated in South America and attributed to many cultures, the Rain Stick is a tubular rattle that has been used by many diverse cultures in various ways and played by children throughout the world.
Week 2 – Monday (04/14/08 )
As spring slowly arrives, our young Adventurers will trek down to the stream to explore our streams and surrounding areas. And there’s more than meets the eye! Upon closer look, we’ll identify different aquatic insects, animals and plants while discussing their importance to our ecosystem. Please bring shoes that can get wet and a change of clothes. Magnifying glass and reptile/insect ID books would be handy too.
Week 3 – Monday (04/28/08 )
THE BIG BUG HUNT
As their environment warms up, insects begin to emerge. We’ll identify bugs that fly, swim, crawl and even slither near our watershed while learning their value to our environment. Our young Adventurers will explore under logs and rocks while discovering which insects are useful and which ones we should avoid. We’ll also discuss how to keep ourselves safe from tick and mosquito bites while being adventurous outdoors. Please bring shoes that can get wet and a change of clothes. Magnifying glass and insect ID books would be handy too.
Week 4 – Monday (05/05/08 )
LET’S GO FISHING! (PART 1)
We are fortunate to have a rich resource of fish habitat in Western Massachusetts. For the next two weeks our young Adventurers will discover respectful fishing practices. We will learn about tying knots and casting a line while taking a look at different types of bait. We’ll also be discussing hook safety and fish habitat. Fishing poles and gear will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring their own poles too.
Week 5 – Monday (05/12/08 )
LET’S GO FISHING! (PART 2)
We’ll continue our fish explorations as our young Adventurers are introduced to the TMO/MA Angler Education Program. We will continue with learning the basics of fishing, simple biology, fish habitat, fishing gear safety, and courteous fishing habits while instilling respect for fish and their environment. Fishing poles and gear will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring their own poles too.
Week 6 – Monday (05/19/08 )
April shower’s bring May flowers, including Dutchman’s Britches, Trillium, Yellow Violets, and Trout Lilly’s. May is an excellent time to identify wildflowers, plants and trees while discussing how we can avoid poisonous plants while being adventurous outdoors. We will hike around the 500 acre Base camp, and see what April showers have helped to bring to life while discussing their importance to our ecosystem. Participants are welcome to bring along a plant press and ID books.
Week 7 – Monday (06/02/08 )
CANOEING (PART 1)
Our young Adventurers will take to the water for the next two weeks. We will access the waters here at the Base Camp and learn safety skills around the water and canoes. Wearing provided personal flotation devices (PFD), we’ll learn all the different paddle strokes and proper techniques while paddling around our beautiful 60 acre wild and scenic Scout Pond. Please bring shoes that can get wet and a change of clothes.
Week 8 – Monday (06/09/08 )
CANOEING (PART 2)
Our young Adventurers will conclude their canoeing experience, beginning where we left off last week. Wearing provided personal flotation devices (PFD), we’ll continue to practice our canoeing techniques and safety skills as we explore our watershed on canoe. Please bring shoes that can get wet and a change of clothes.
Week 9 – (06/16/08 )
TIN CAN ICE CREAM SOCIAL
Our last day will conclude our Hilltown Families Spring 08 Program with our young Adventurers playing outdoor games and making their own ice cream by using a tin can! They will learn how to construct their homemade ice cream maker from materials brought from home and follow through by making their very own to enjoy. And ice cream social will follow.


The USACE Philadelphia “Killcohook” primarily performs survey missions and dive operations in support of dredging work planned within the US Army Corps’ Philadelphia District. The 68’ x 26’ custom aluminum catamaran was designed by Teknicraft Design, Ltd. of Auckland, New Zealand and built by All American Marine. This vessel followed the successful delivery of the 62’ Florida II, foil assisted survey vessel that AAM was previously awarded to construct for the USACE Jacksonville District. The aluminum hull features the Teknicraft Design signature hull shape with a symmetrical bow, asymmetrical tunnel, and integrated wave piercer. A custom aluminum hydrofoil was fit to span between the sponsons to generate lift of the semi-displacement hulls and enhance performance. Teknicraft has been designing hydrofoil supported vessels for over 20 years and has become a leader in this market. Power for the propeller-driven vessel was provided by a pair of Caterpillar C18 diesel engines rated 1001 bhp @ 2300 rpm, with an EPA Tier III emissions rating. Auxiliary power was supplied via twin Northern Lights C40M.3 40.kW generators. The suite of deck gear includes a hydraulic A-frame, davit, scientific winch, and moon pool with deployable sonar strut. Dive platforms were also fit to the transom of each sponson. The 28-knot cruise speed (31 knot max speed) allows the Corps to get to the survey site much quicker, which in turn will allow for more time on site and greater data collection in less time.

2012 Porsche 911 Expert Review:Autoblog
Think Your Job Is Stressful? Try Redesigning The 911
The world's most iconic sports car, the Porsche 911, is redefined about every seven years. This is no easy feat, as each new model must not only conform to ever tightening emissions, fuel economy and safety regulations, but must be faster and more competitive in motorsports. The 911 remains one of the most successful racing cars ever built, and for many, it's not just a sports car from Porsche – it is Porsche.
Now, an all-new seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera has been unveiled. While the rear-engine replacement lacks serious controversy (the move from an air-cooled flat-six to water-cooled powerplant more than a decade ago was dreadfully traumatic), the new Type 991 presents altered proportions to improve passenger comfort, handling and stability. But don't think for a moment that the 2012 model has gone soft. It is much more dynamic and capable than its predecessor. To substantiate the fact, Porsche divulges that its all-new Carrera S is capable of lapping the Nürburgring's Nordschleife circuit in just 7:40 minutes. Not only is that 14 seconds faster than last year's 997, but it matches the time of the race-ready Type 997 GT3. And that's just the start.
Stuttgart has calculated that 272,811 Porsche 911 models have been delivered to customers in the United States since 1970. While that is one boatload of smiling Americans, the statisticians didn't stop there. The Germans also declared that in excess of 700,000 copies of the iconic sports car have been delivered worldwide since its launch in September 1964, and more than 80 percent of those Type 901, G-Model, 964, 993, 996, and 997s are still street legal. While the Porsche 911 is 48 years old, the all-new seventh-generation, known internally as Type 991, carries the legacy significantly forward. Like most late-model 911s, the 991 will eventually be offered in Turbo, Cabriolet, Targa, GT3 and GT2 variants, and most all should be in place within the next two years. But first, Porsche is launching the 911 Carrera Coupé and the 911 Carrera S Coupé.
Compared to last year's 911 model, the new 2012 911 is .98 inches longer, .20 inches shorter in overall height and it has a wider track. Those dimensional changes are rather insignificant when compared to the wheelbase, which has grown by a whopping 3.90 inches. Putting more space between the wheels has shortened the front and rear overhangs and put more of the engine's mass in front of the rear wheels. As a result, the 991 benefits from a lower center of gravity, improved stability at speed and more room carved out for passengers.
From 100 yards, only a Porsche purist will be able to distinguish a 991 from the 997 – that's a compliment to the design team that worked exhaustively to maintain the 911's traditionally characteristic appearance. Step a bit closer, maybe 30 feet away, and the changes are much more evident. The characteristic round headlights remain, but they have been pushed wide. The radiator intakes are larger with wrap-around LED directional indicators and the side mirrors have been moved from the mirror triangle at the base of the A-pillar to the top of the door (a location shared with the automaker's Panamera sedan). The front windshield is flatter while the rear quarter windows are more tapered. The rear spoiler is now integrated cleanly with the decklid when stowed, but it presents a larger surface area when deployed. Overall, the appearance is more aggressive than that of the outgoing model while bearing more than a slight resemblance to the Carrera GT from the rear.
The new interior also takes many of its cues from its siblings, with the most notable change being the arrival of a tall center console, again mixing the design characteristics of the sporty Carrera GT with the luxurious interior of the Panamera. Directly in front of the driver, Porsche's familiar five-ring cluster houses six analog gauges (tachometer, speedometer, oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature and fuel level) and a new color TFT multifunction display to the right of the centrally-located and oversized tach. The navigation screen sits at the top of the center console, just below two of the four dash vents. Directly below are the NAV and audio controls. The console flattens out at that point, and the climate controls are in the crease with a monochromatic display of temperature settings for both driver and passenger. Just aft is the transmission shifter, whether manual or automatic, at a near-perfect height and distance from a relaxed arm. Lastly, a slew of buttons are located beneath the driver's right elbow, controlling suspension, traction control, exhaust, rear spoiler, sunroof and other optional equipment.
The new chassis utilizes McPherson struts up front, with a lightweight aluminum support bearing, tuned to enhance anti-dive performance under heavy braking. The rear axle is a completely new multi-link design, with more spring travel to improve performance and new elastic rubber-metal bearings to reduce rolling noise. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), a damping system for active and continuous control of both axles, is standard on the 2012 Carrera S Coupé and optional on the base Carrera Coupé.
New is Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), an optional variable stabilizer system that replaces the traditional anti-roll bar drop-link with four active adjustable strut-mounted hydraulic cylinders. During straight-line driving, the PDCC is essentially disconnected to prevent wheel impacts from being transmitted across the chassis. However, PDCC immediately engages to prevent chassis lean when sensors detect any lateral forces.
Porsche has taken a risk with the steering by ditching its traditional hydraulic steering system and replacing it with an electro-mechanical system that is engineered to only use energy during steering maneuvers. Aside from the obvious benefits (less parasitic drag on the engine, simplified machinery and improved fuel efficiency), the system features active self-alignment and a stabilizing system to improve control while braking on surfaces with uneven grip.
Capable cast iron brakes are standard on both models. The Carrera is fitted with 13.0 x 1.1-inch perforated and ventilated discs up front, with four-piston aluminum monobloc calipers painted black. The Carrera S receives slightly larger 13.4 x 1.3-inch perforated and ventilated discs up front, with new six-piston aluminum monobloc calipers in red. Both the Carrera and Carrera S share the same 13.0 x 1.1-inch perforated and ventilated discs in the rear, with four-piston aluminum monobloc calipers (color-keyed to the front calipers). The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system is optional, shaving nearly half the mass off the standard braking system and nearly eliminating brake fade. The PCCB calipers are painted yellow, of course.
Standard wheels on the Carrera are 19-inch alloys, wearing 235/40ZR19 tires in the front and 285/35ZR19 in the rear. The Carrera S is fitted with 20-inch wheels as standard equipment, with slightly larger 245/35ZR20 tires up front and 295/30ZR20 rubber out back. Pirelli P Zero tires, specially designed for the 911, are standard on the new 911.
Mounted behind the rear wheels on the 2012 Carrera Coupé is a 3.4-liter, flat-six, rated at 350 horsepower at 7,400 rpm and redlines at 7,800 rpm, while the all-aluminum direct-injected engine generates 287 pound-feet of torque at 5,600 rpm. Although downsized from last year's 3.6-liter flat-six, the smaller-displacement direct-injected engine generates slightly more power and identical torque while delivering improved fuel economy.
The 2012 Carrera S Coupé boasts the familiar 3.8-liter flat-six. While the displacement is identical to last year's engine, Porsche reworked the intake and exhaust on the new model to capture an additional 15 horsepower and provide a slight bump in torque. Rated an even 400 horsepower at 7,400 rpm, the all-aluminum direct-injected powerplant generates 325 pound-feet of torque at 5,600 rpm. Sharing the same redline and fuel cut-off at 7,800 rpm with its smaller sibling, the naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter engine delivers an impressive 105.3 horsepower/liter. We expected two transmission choices: manual or automatic. But this is where Porsche threw us a curve.
The automaker's seven-speed Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) was a no-brainer, as the electronically-controlled double-clutch automatic transmission delivers blazingly clean shifts whether in standard or sport modes (Porsche says 70 percent of its customers will choose the PDK). Improved for 2012, the PDK gearbox now delivers even faster and smoother shifts and it completely disengages itself to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency during coasting.
Earlier this year we learned that Porsche was also offering the world's first seven-speed manual transmission in a passenger car. Consider it a PDK gearbox adapted for human use. Instead of electronically-controlled clutch plates, the 7MT uses a traditional third-pedal clutch. As humans are less precise and more prone to slipping the engagement, the clutch is larger in the manual box than in the PDK. Furthermore, to prevent the operator from inadvertently shifting from fourth into seventh during spirited driving, there is a sequential shift lock that keeps the overdrive gear out of reach until fifth or six gears have been previously selected. The gear ratios of the manual mostly match that of the PDK, but Porsche has outfitted the stick shift variant with a taller third gear and a shorter seventh gear to improve driveability.
Thanks to an extensive use of aluminum (the roof panel, deck lid, door skins and fenders are all made from the lightweight alloy), Porsche has been able to offset the mass of the added safety components and new standard equipment. On the scale, the 2012 Carrera models have shed about 100 pounds when compared to their predecessors. The curb weight of the 2012 Porsche Carrera Coupé with the seven-speed manual is only 3,042 pounds. Add the optional seven-speed PDK and the weight climbs to just 3,086 pounds. The 2012 Porsche Carrera S Coupé tips the scales at 3,075 pounds with a manual gearbox, and weighs 3,119 pounds with the PDK. Regardless of the configuration, the new 911 Carrera is lighter than a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (3,199 pounds), Ferrari 458 (3,274 pounds), Nissan GT-R (3,829 pounds) and the Jaguar XKR (3,865 pounds).
According to Porsche, typically very conservative with its figures, the standard 911 Carrera with a seven-speed manual transmission is good for a 0-62 mph sprint in 4.8 seconds. Configured with the optional PDK gearbox and the Sport Chrono package, it adds the launch control function, the time drops down to 4.6 seconds. The Carrera S with the manual gearbox is slightly quicker as it hits 62 mph in about 4.5 seconds. The fastest model is the Carrera S with PDK and the Sport Chrono package. Porsche says it will sprint to 62 mph in just 4.3 seconds and we fully expect it to shatter the four second barrier once instrumented testing gets underway. Thanks to a slippery .29 drag coefficient and a complete absence of top speed limiters, the standard Carrera Coupé will comfortably hit 180 mph if allowed the opportunity. The more powerful Carrera S Coupé will run to a top speed of 189 mph.
Porsche invited us to Santa Barbara to put a couple hundred miles on a 2012 Carrera S Coupé. After a quick breakfast, we grabbed the key to a Racing Yellow Carrera S with Yachting Blue leather and a PDK gearbox. Driving a coupe that was arguably brighter than the rising sun, we set the standard navigation system to take us north to Santa Maria.
The cabin was impeccably appointed in our test car, with quality leather, soft Alcantera or smooth aluminum trim covering nearly every exposed inch. We sat very comfortably in the cockpit, with plenty of head and shoulder room, behind a thick sport steering wheel. Distinguished by its aluminum spokes and lack of auxiliary controls, the round wheel was equipped with large alloy paddle shifters in the proper configuration (Porsche still offers the frustrating Tiptronic-era sliders on the standard leather wheel).
After turning over the flat-six with the left-mounted key, we released the new electronic parking brake, which is awkwardly located next to the driver's left knee, and then moved the PDK shifter into D and headed out.
The first half of our trip was up the San Marcos Pass, or State Route 154, just north of Santa Barbara. The two-lane road lazily travels at highway speeds up and over the mountains before dropping into the Santa Ynez Valley. Stuck mid-pack among a row of vehicles without any legal passing opportunities, we focused our attention on the new electric steering – this was admittedly our primary concern. It does feel slightly different, maybe lacking some of the smallest vibrations, but no less accurate or precise. We could feel the bumps, the rocks and the road kill (already flattened, of course). We were fixated on the steering for about 15 minutes, digging hard to find something annoying, but we couldn't. Then we forgot about it; it became a non-issue.
What did capture our attention was the responsiveness of the flat-six engine, the quickness of the PDK and the stiffness of the new lightweight chassis. Despite having "just" a six-cylinder with 325 pound-feet of torque, the Carrera S was a rocket when roused. The dual-clutch gearbox jumped gears like it was playing schoolyard hopscotch to provide near-optimal engine revolutions at speed regardless of how poorly we were caught off guard (yeah, it makes us humans look a bit slow). Smooth as a traditional slushbox on the highway and around town, without a single errant rattle at low speeds, the Porsche's Doppelkupplungsgetriebe is a bat-out-of-hell with deadly aim when pressed into service. If the 911's PDK isn't the world's finest automatic transmission, we don't know what is.
After arriving at Santa Maria airport, where Porsche had paved its own test loop in Top Gear fashion, we were encouraged to flog the all-new Type 991 as hard as we dared, as long as we kept it on the pavement (most of us did). We used the opportunity to do multiple launch control starts to about 115 mph followed by highly abusive full-ABS stops. Porsche brakes, even the standard iron units, are among the best in the industry. After we found ourselves consistently stopping too short, we'd brake later and later without any worry of fade. A 911 is at home on a race circuit, so it didn't even pant at the exercise.
We then immediately ran the coupe around a short handling course with curves and wide decreasing radius sweepers. With the PDK in Sport Plus mode, the newest Porsche rewarded mid-corner throttle lift with predictable chassis rotation. Despite the lengthened wheelbase, turn-in seemed quicker and sharper than it was in last year's Type 997. The new coupe was not only bloody quick around the improvised circuit, but it was also very predictable and impressively fun – exactly what we expected from a 911.
Parking the yellow PDK-equipped model on the paddock, we talked our way into yet another Racing Yellow Carrera S. However, this particular model sported the new seven-speed manual transmission. Slower than the PDK, but much more involving, we chose to head back to Santa Barbara using the longer and more enjoyable... um, scenic route.
In less time than it takes to soft boil an egg, we forgot about the near-perfect shifts of the PDK and fell head over heels for the manual gearbox. The clutch pedal felt slightly springy at first, but only took a few engagements to become second nature. Soon, the action was almost faultless as the gears snapped quickly into place. The action was smooth, yet rewardingly mechanical. We ran up the gears sequentially, clumsily slower than the dual-clutch would do the same task, and quickly ran back down the pattern in reverse order. Our favorite gear, without question, was third. That middle gear pulled strongly from 35 mph to nearly 110 mph, meaning it is a perfect fit for nearly every back country road in the Continental United States. Seventh gear, that awkward new arrival, is geared so tall as to be positively boring (we tried it a couple times for grins, and then never went back).
Over the next two hours, we rolled the windows down and darted through the rolling hills using second, third and fourth gear exclusively. Light on its feet, the 911 obeyed all of our commands as we happily collected misguided bugs on our front fascia. Throttle, clutch, shift, throttle, clutch, shift and throttle. The flat-six wailed at redline, blaring through the optional sport exhaust, and the sound ricocheted off the rows of vineyards. The experience of piloting a fine instrument developed exclusively for the driver was purely emotional. By the time we arrived back in Santa Barbara, our smile was so wide that it bruised our cheekbones.
Liquidate your prized belongings and sell the family heirlooms. Porsche has announced pricing. When it rolls into showrooms on February 4, the standard Carrera Coupé will carry a base price of $82,100 (plus $950 destination). The Carrera S Coupé will start at $96,400 (plus destination). Build one like our yellow test model and you are likely touching $120,000. It is top shelf pricing, but we can't think of another new vehicle in that dollar range capable of delivering the equivalent build quality, comfort or performance. The 911 has always been, and continues to remain, a true driver's car for a discerning affluent buyer.
Back in Weissach, the Type 991 design team led by Michael Mauer should be taking a stress-free vacation in the Caribbean for a job well executed. But they won't. More variants are waiting in the wings, and let's hope Porsche waits a few weeks before reminding them that the Type 992 is due in 2018.
New Car Test Drive
All-new generation is easy to drive fast.
The Porsche 911 is all-new for 2012, a new-generation version completely redesigned from the ground up. Now starting its seventh generation, the new 911 maintains all the familiar styling cues fans expect, but the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S we drove was delightfully, almost subversively different from the outgoing version.
It's easy to recognize the classic Porsche profile, with the long, sloping snout, the flyline roof and tapered rear, but the 2012 911 is longer, lower, and wider than before. It's also lighter. This is a case of Darwinian evolution at work, after all, and odds are, if the new Carrera comes up in your rearview mirror you better slip to the side. You're just prey.
As is the norm with Porsche, the maker plans to steadily roll out a variety of variants of the 911, from the base Carrera to the Cabriolets up to an eventual GT3.
For 2012, the Porsche 911 is available in two versions, Carrera and Carrera S.
The Carrera features a 3.4-liter flat-six engine punching out 350 horsepower, a 5 hp increase for the 2012 model. Its 0 to 60 times have dropped 0.2 seconds, to 4.4 seconds, according to Porsche. The Carrera S goes with a larger, 3.8-liter flat-six making 400 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, with launch times to 60 mph of 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 189 mph.
2012 Carrera and Carrera S coupes are on sale now, and will be followed by 2012 Carrera Cabriolet and Carrera S Cabriolet models. Sales of the Cabriolet are expected to begin in late April or early May 2012.
The Carrera cabriolet gets a new soft top that can be raised or lowered in just 13 seconds and at speeds of up to 31 mph.
Our first drive opportunity landed us in the driver's seat of the 911 Carrera S, the model we expect most Porsche 911 buyers to choose. The Carrera S features a slightly larger engine, at 3.8 liters, making a sizable 400 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. More amazing is the fact that it can come within a tenth of a second, at 4.1 seconds, of matching the 0 to 60 times of the old 911 GT3.
Of course, if straight-line acceleration were all one wanted there are plenty of muscle cars and rice rockets that can deliver neck-snapping acceleration, and at a fraction of the 911's stiff price tag. But Porsche is all about the overall driving experience, and perhaps nothing personifies that better than the 911 Carrera S.
The new 911 feels familiar, but it just does things that much better. Much of this is thanks to the integration of new technologies such as the electro-hydraulic power steering system and the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control active roll stabilization system. Porsche claims the PDCC technology enhances cornering performance by keeping the tires in their optimal position at all times while minimizing body roll. There's also the fact that despite the longer, wider body, Porsche engineers have managed to shave about 100 pounds off the weight of the 2012 911 Carrera S, which tilts the scales at 3,113 pounds when equipped with the PDK gearbox.
Speaking of transmissions, the new 911 introduces an industry first 7-speed manual. Yet the PDK double-clutch is so quick and smooth we might be tempted to speak heresy and suggest the PDK is actually the preferable choice.
While the lower weight clearly enhances the overall performance of the new 911 it's also a factor in fuel economy, and here's where the Carrera S delivers another pleasant surprise, the 2012 remake boosting mileage by as much as 16 percent. The outgoing base Carrera, for example, delivered an EPA-estimated 18 mpg City/29 Highway, the Carrera S 19/26 mpg. The more powerful 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S bumps that up to 20/27 mpg. The new one is both faster and more fuel efficient.
Also enhancing mileage: the new 911 gets Auto Stop/Start, technology that briefly shuts off the engine rather than idling, say, at a stoplight. The powertrain instantly fires back up when the driver's foot lifts off the brake.
Despite the added power and even more aggressive handling, the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S is a markedly more refined machine. The interior has the lavish appointments you'd expect in a high-line sedan, with such niceties as the new 18-way power driver's seat. That'll keep you firmly in place during the hardest cornering, but it's also comfortable enough to be an everyday driver. Perhaps. Just recognize you'll be facing temptation every time you hit the Start button.
The 2012 Porsche 911 is available in coupe and convertible versions, each in Carrera and Carrera S tune.
The Carrera ($82,100) features a 3.4-liter flat-six engine punching out 350 horsepower. The Carrera S ($96,400) goes with a larger 3.8-liter flat-six making 400 hp.
Perhaps the biggest challenge for Porsche chief designer Michael Mauer and his team was finding a way to give the 2012 911 line a fresh look while maintaining its iconic shape. There's little doubt you'll immediately recognize the look of the seventh-generation model while also realizing how much it has subtly changes.
A closer look, and a handy tape measure, will reveal that the 2012 reincarnation's wheelbase is stretched about four inches, the overall length by two. The new Porsche 911 has a slightly lower roof and a wider track. It also has bigger wheels, something designers are always looking for.
The 911's timeless headlamps are carried over, of course, but have a bit more of a 3-dimensional look, in keeping with a body that is more sculpted than before. The sheet metal has a more precise and taught feel, with a cabin that has moved ever so slightly forward. The overall appearance is one that is more dynamic, refined yet aggressive.
Even the base 911 Carrera now gets a pop-up, or active, wing. It's part of a new handling package that can include the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active roll stabilization system.
The new 911 may be bigger but it's shed a surprising amount of weight thanks to the increased use of aluminum and other lightweight materials. Curb weight totals 3,113 pounds with the PDK (double-clutch) gearbox, about 100 pounds less than the old model, internally known as the 997. That's no mean feat considering all the other new technologies stuffed inside the 2012 Porsche 911, internally known as 991.
Sports cars have traditionally put their emphasis on what's under the hood, not in the cabin, but recent generations of the Porsche 911 have focused more attention on the interior. The 2012 remake delivers the sort of refined and luxurious feel you'd expect from a luxury sedan in a similar price range.
New 14-way power sports seats are comfortable and enveloping, able to keep you in place even during the harshest cornering maneuvers. And unlike some, you can climb in and out with relative ease. As for the rear, well, the new 911 remains the classic 2+2 and the back seats are best suited to small children and light packages.
The overall appearance of the interior is one of Teutonic efficiency. The detailing is handsome and elegant but avoids the sort of gold-chain bling you expect from Ferrari and Lamborghini. There was a clear emphasis on improved ergonomics and that does mean some handsome additions on the technology front, with well-placed controls and easy-to-read gauges, a larger LCD navigation screen and a Panamera-derived center console that places key vehicle functions within easy reach. The 911 is smaller and less overloaded with toggles and switches than the four-door, thankfully.
There's a much better layout to the five-circle gauge cluster visible through the steering wheel. One of those is a multi-function LCD screen that can offer up a range of programmable information, including the most immediate navigation instructions or an active G-meter that instantly shows how hard you're accelerating, braking or turning. At one point, during a run down the test track it nudged an astounding 1.3 g.
Porsche has made much of introducing the first 7-speed manual gearbox, so we split the day between the stick and the 7-speed PDK: Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe, or double-clutch. While the manual gearbox is clearly going to be near and dear to the hearts of those who feel there must be three pedals on the floor of a true sports car, we wouldn't be surprised to see the PDK start to raise doubts among those even slightly less committed.
The purists might question their own judgment when they realize the double-clutch is just a wee bit faster, and just as much fun to operate when you turn to the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, which pair especially well with the optional sport wheel.
The 911 has always been quick, even in base form. And with the Carrera S now rivaling the acceleration of the old GT3 it'll sink you even deeper into the sport driver's seat when you use Launch Control. Available only on the PDK edition, the system is designed to minimize wheel spin and maximize torque for the fastest off-the-line acceleration: press the button, hold down the brake, press the throttle to the floor and wait 'til it tells you to go. Releasing the brake, we noticed the way our peripheral vision seemed to vanish as our eyes focused on the barrier at the end of the temporary track Porsche set up for testing at California's Santa Maria Airport.
We hit 112 mph before slamming on the oversized brakes, quickly bringing us to a halt well before the looming barrier. Goosing the throttle again, we zigged and zagged through a serpentine course that included decreasing radius corners and a tight slalom stretch.
Straight line performance is impressive but what really matters is how the Carrera S effortlessly maneuvers through more demanding circumstances. It certainly impresses to know that it managed a 7:40 lap time on the grueling Nurburgring Nordscliefe, a full 16 seconds faster than the outgoing, sixth-generation Porsche 911.
Having the track available for the media was a smart move considering that even the tightest on-road driving we experienced offered little challenge to the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S. The biggest trial was keeping the car down even somewhat close to the speed limit, as one of our normally more demure colleagues discovered when the arresting officer noted her 94 mph speed in a 65 zone.
Most drivers will likely also be impressed with how much quieter and smoother the new 911 is on regular roads. But not all. We did hear complaints from a few of the collected media hordes that the new model was somehow too easy to drive. That was similar to what many said, a decade-some back, when an earlier 911 redesign switched to a water-cooled engine and re-engineered the suspension to reduce the chances of having the front and rear ends trade places when the car was overcooked in a corner.
If any current concern holds water it's that Porsche has almost numbed out the steering. To our mind, and hands, that's overstating the case. Yes, it's smoother and less likely to pass on the raw sensation of hitting every twig and pebble on the road. But unlike all too many of the new electric power steering systems that makers are fast migrating to, the electro-hydraulic system on the 2012 Porsche 911 continues to keep you in touch more than enough to let you know precisely what the car is doing.
One does have to get used to what the car is telling you, however, especially due to the much more limited amount of body roll allowed by the Dynamic Chassis Control system. But, again, there's still enough that it only took a few minutes, and a couple hard turns, to feel confident, comfortable and in touch with what the new 911 was doing.
Few products better define their genre than the Porsche 911. Sure, if you've got an extra $100,000 or so you might find something faster, even something that can nudge an extra second or so or your lap times. But for the money, it's going to be difficult to find anything that comes close to the breathtaking performance and pure driving pleasure of the all-new 911 Carrera S. Any concerns we had about how the maker might improve upon the outgoing model have been quelled by the time we spent behind the wheel. Porsche planners are gleefully anticipating a big jump in sales this year and we clearly understand why.

The artists from Banaras began to establish themselves during the Mughal era, around the 14th century, by creating distinctive and intricate silk brocades using gold and silver zari threads. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Banarasi weaving began to gain popularity and expertise. These sarees are among the finest in India and are renowned for their lavish hand weaving, exquisite silk, and gold and silver brocade or zari.
India is the peak of its culture because each state has a unique cultural feature. Thanks to the variety of its languages, cuisine, clothing, and manner of life, India is renowned for having a rich culture. The world has shown the most interest in Indian traditional clothing, particularly the saree. Sarees' vast array of colours and designs, which capture the traditional ecstasy of our country, have long inspired people to continue wearing them as traditional clothing. Although the six-yard-long saree has undergone exploration, experimentation, and evolution, it may have originated in antiquity. While ladies will always prefer the traditional drape, sarees have continuously incorporated modern elements. For example, the traditional cotton and silk saree is now available in a range of jute, nylon, rayon, georgette, chiffon, satin, and also blended fabrics. Every woman's wardrobe has space for both traditional and contemporary (or fusion) drapes. And thanks to online shopping, people's love for this classic item has only risen. However, some sarees get overlooked by women who want to show off their ethnic clothing. We have selected some Indian regional sarees for you to add to your wardrobe and build a collection that exemplifies the excellence of Indian craftsmanship.
Banarasi Silk Saree From Uttar Pradesh
Banarasi Silk saree is a handcrafted saree from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The gold and silver zari embroidery on Banarasi sarees is well known across India. The artists from Banaras began to establish themselves during the Mughal era, around the 14th century, by creating distinctive and intricate silk brocades using gold and silver zari threads. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Banarasi weaving began to gain popularity and expertise. These sarees are among the finest in India and are renowned for their lavish hand weaving, exquisite silk, and gold and silver brocade or zari. Because of the elaborate designs and expertly woven silk used to create the sarees, Banarasi silk sarees have gained popularity and prominence in the market. Many Indian wedding rites involve the wearing of the finest sarees, which are made of silk that have been skilfully weaved. Sarees that masterfully depict the richness of Indian culture are made by the artists through the exquisite fusion of regal and ethnic motifs. Banarasi sarees have a lot of brilliant colour blending.
Chanderi Sarees from Madhya Pradesh
In Chanderi Town, Madhya Pradesh, Chanderisarees are made from pure silk. The Chanderi saree's gold and silver brocade pattern is another distinguishing element. They are an invaluable type of handcraft that mixes beautiful designs with chic, breathable fabric. This light-weight saree from Madhya Pradesh in the centre of India is suitable for daily wear. This saree has borders and a variety of designs, including geometric, floral, and peacock patterns. Simple jewellery and heels go great with these sarees. Three types of materials are used to make Chanderi sarees: pure silk, Chanderi cotton, and silk cotton. Coins, floral, peacock, and geometric motifs are the most prevalent patterns on traditional sarees.
Leheriya Sarees from Rajasthan
Bandhani sarees and Rajasthani Leheriya sarees have several major similarities as well as variances. The difference between these sarees and others manufactured using the tie and dye technique is how they are tied. The way the Leheriya sarees are knotted, when coloured, results in a kaleidoscopic wavy design. There are numerous vivid colours available for this saree.
Kanjivaram Sarees from Tamil Nadu
The Kanjeevaramsaree is crafted by Kancheepuram weavers using only pure mulberry silk. These sarees' temple-inspired patterns make them some of India's most exquisite regional sarees. Famous bridal sarees from Tamil Nadu are called Kanjeevaram sarees. This saree has a golden pallu with a temple print and is made of rich, brilliant colours. Kanjeevaaram sarees are well-liked not just in South India but also in the northern region. Sarees from Kanjeevaaram can be the ideal choice for daytime wedding events. Every single Kanjeevaram silk saree is a work of art in and of itself, made from only the finest mulberry silk. It is the ideal fusion of exquisite southern silk and Gujarati pure gold and silver zari. The threads are soaked in rice water and dried in the sun before use to maintain the fabric's thickness and stiffness. The saree is more durable since it is comprises threesilk threads twisted with silver wire. A Kanjeevaram saree typically weighs up to two kg. Kanjeevaram silk sarees have beautiful mythical tales woven into the pattern from the beginning, coupled with exquisite temple figures. Consider adding this stunning gem to your collection and taking in the long tradition of Kanjeevaram silk sarees.
Chikankari Sarees from Lucknow
Chikan is a traditional Lucknowi needlecraft. It is one of the best techniques for embellishing textiles. Women typically choose these sarees because of their utmost elegance and skilfully executed embroidery work. Earlier, only muslin cloth was embroidered for this lovely handwoven saree, which is now available in various fabrics. The drapes are decorated with a variety of floral arrangements, with creepers being the most well-known Chikankari design. Jasmine roses, flowering stalks, and lotus are frequently sewn on the sides. Traditional Chikankarisarees are one of the most well-known sarees in India.
Sambalpuri sarees from Odisha

Three teenagers in South Africa, where abortion is legal, burned the body of a baby victimized by abortion. Three young women were involved in the incident after one of the teens took the abortion drug to cause the death of her unborn child.
The three were accused of murder and appeared in the Ekangala Magistrate’s Court near Bronkhorstspruit today but the main case against the young woman having the abortion was postponed until Thursday while the other two teens involved in burning the baby’s body received merely a slap on the wrist and were let off with a warning.
The matter was postponed to Thursday for a formal bail application of the 18-year-old mother, Constable Zanele Vilakazi said. She was kept in custody. The other two, aged 18 and 19, were released on a warning.
The mother was five months pregnant and took pills to induce early labour on Thursday evening last week.
“Shortly after taking the pills she gave birth in the toilet. She could not flush the foetus because it was big.”
She allegedly wrapped it in plastic and hid it in the back yard in her Bronkhorstspruit home.
After asking her friends at school for advice the following day, they allegedly decided to burn the foetus.
A school friend who was not part of the incident told her mother that her friends were planning to burn a foetus. The mother called the police and the women were arrested shortly after the incident.

Catching holdover trout in a stock pond or lake can be challenging. They have had time to acclimatize to the local conditions.
At the start of the new season, the biggest trout are often holdovers.
But, the recently stocked trout normally greatly outnumber them and are more aggressive feeders than the resident fish. They always seem to hit the bait or lure first.
The trick is to target holdover trout like they are wild fish.
In this guide, I will look at ways to catch large mature trout in fisheries dominated by hatchery fish.
Late winter into early spring fishery authorities release thousands of hatchery reared trout into hundreds of lakes and ponds across America.
Hatchery-raised trout are often small and not much of a challenge to land. At the time of stocking, the average year old trout weighs around a quarter pound, while two year old holder can be pushing two pounds. A much more respectable size.
What do holdover trout eat?
Upon release, all stocked trout behave like hatchery raised fish, their diet not yet adapted to the natural food in the lake. At times they will eat just about anything.
The usual bait of choice is artificial bait, which imitates pellets rather than insects and bait fish. One popular example is the Berkley Powerbait. Scented dough baits are one of the best performing baits when targeting stock trout.
However, stock trout which survive the previous season and have become holdover trout have long since forgotten their hatchery diets. Like the wild trout, they have become fully reliant on the lake’s food chain. This means the bulk of a holdover trout diet will be insects and small prey fish.
Naturalized trout instinctually hunt fleeing baitfish, making hard lures such as spoons, jerkbaits and spinners more effective.
Insects are also a large portion of a wild trout’s diet, so that holdover trout is more likely to go after a well presented mayfly or nymph fly compared with a ball of scented dough.
The bait fisherman can have a lot of success fishing nightcrawlers and other terrestrial insects.
How to avoid the stock trout and find holdover trout?
Recently released stock trout travel around in large schools, confused and not familiar with their new home they stick together. For hours after release, some newly planted trout stay close to the release site. At night, protected by darkness, most will move away from their release site.
To find safety they head to the relative protection of open water. Fishermen often report stocked trout schooling around quite high in the water column out in the open. Over time, as they explore, they can turn up in almost any part of the lake.
Holdover trout have learned where the food is, and if you find the food. You will find the holdovers. They have established territories and generally do not travel far from their feeding grounds.
Prime locations to find holdover trout
- Holdover trout often cruise weedlines
- around structures such as between the branches of sunken trees.
- In shallow flats, especially if the water is cold
- Near the bottom of steep drop-offs, which border onto flats.
- Near the mouth of rivers and streams
- On stocking day holdover trout can often be found much deeper in the water column compared with recent releases.
How to catch holdover trout?
The easiest place to catch trout is where they feed. Fish drop-offs, holes, weed beds, and river mouths. These places are prime feeding grounds for holdover and wild trout.
During the warmer months, there is an abundance of insect life. So it is also well worthwhile checking lakeshore vegetation for terrestrial insects. These insects lose their footing or get blown into the cool water below. Resident trout know that, so they patrol such areas in search of an energy rich meal.
When targeting holdover trout presentation is key. The bait or lure you are fishing with should reflect the natural prey found in the area.
Spinning for holdover trout
Whenever spin fishing, I prefer to use small jerkbaits, spoons or spinners. All in natural colors work well. Although, in cloudy or discolored water, bolder and even bright colors can more easily catch a trout’s attention.
It is not always a good idea to fish a lure larger than the prevalent baitfish in the lake, this can spook wary holdover trout.
Another good tactic for the spin angler is to suspend a fly beneath a float. A traditional nymph such as a pheasant tail or a small snail imitation suspended over weed beds can bring results.
Fly-fishing for holdover trout
Traditional wisdom when fly fishing is to match the hatch. This holds true when targeting holdover trout.
The traditional nymphs, dry flies, and streamers are excellent at imitating a trout’s food making them perfect for targeting holdover trout.
Suspending a pheasant tail nymph beneath a black gnat or royal fluff is my favorite way to target trout feeding along weed banks or cruising the shallows.
When the trout are holding a bit deeper. I like to fish a wet fly or streamer, I always resort to my old favorites; the grey ghost, woolly bugger or a basic rabbit strip fly.
Thousands of fly patterns and variations exist, so finding the most effective pattern for your local water might take time.
Catching holdover trout on Bait
Try fishing nightcrawlers near the bottom. The slopes leading into deep holes, or at stream mouths, are prime spots to target. Suspending nightcrawlers beneath a float and fish over weed banks. Hungry trout find it hard to resist a juicy nightcrawler. Another trick is to suspend a nightcrawler beneath a float, then use the current of an incoming river to carry it out into the lake.
Targeting the larger holdover fish is a great way to win opening day competitions!
It is no secret that holdover trout are often larger than newly stocked trout.
If you are fishing an opening day competition, the biggest trout, and potential winners are usually holdover fish. Meaning these older, mature trout are the ideal target for any fisherman hoping to win an opening weekend competition.

New Delhi, Jun 2 (EFE).- India on Tuesday evacuated families from low-lying areas along its western coast as cyclone “Nisarg” closed in on Mumbai, the country’s financial capital, officials said.
The authorities have put the coastal states of Maharashtra, of which Mumbai is the capital, and neighboring Gujarat on alert and deployed dozens of relief and rescue teams, putting further pressure on the government machinery already battling rising Covid-19 infections.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said alert has been sounded for Mumbai city, its suburbs and other neighboring districts in anticipation of the cyclone making landfall on Wednesday.
He added that the government has deployed 16 National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams for rescue operations during the cyclone and put six more on standby.
Gujarat has also deployed around 15 NDRF teams.
The India Meteorological Department said Tuesday morning that a deep depression in the Arabian Sea could intensify into a cyclonic storm over the next 12 hours, and further into a severe cyclonic storm by Wednesday morning.
It warned that very heavy rainfall could lash Mumbai when the cyclone crosses the coastal city, bringing in winds gusting up to 120 km per hour (75 miles per hour), which is an equivalent to a category 1 hurricane.
“It will gradually increase becoming gale wind speed reaching 60-70 kmph gusting to 80 kmph from June 2 morning and further becoming 105-115 kmph gusting to 125 kmph,” the IMD said, warning of “very likely rough to very rough” sea conditions.
On Jun. 3-4, the wind speed is likely to reach 90-100 kmph, gusting to 110 kmph over the Gujarat coasts, and the sea condition is very likely to be high to very high.
Fishermen have been warned of high waves in the range of 2.3 – 6.5 meters (7.5-21 feet) as squally winds are expected to hit the western coast.
“Those staying in kucha (non-concrete) houses are being moved to safe places,” Thackeray said in a statement posted on his Twitter handle.
“The slum dwellers in Mumbai, especially in the low-lying areas have been instructed to evacuate.”
The chief minister stressed that precautions would be taken during the relief and rehabilitation efforts owing to the high number of Covid-19 cases in the state, especially its capital.
The novel coronavirus has already infected more than 53,000 people and claimed over 1,600 lives in Mumbai, considered India’s financial capital and also its most populous city.
Maharashtra and Gujarat are the two worst-hit states by the Covid-19 crisis.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he had taken stock of the situation in the wake of cyclone conditions in parts of India’s western coast.
“I urge people to take all possible precautions and safety measures,” he wrote on Twitter.
This is set to be the second cyclone to hit India in less than two weeks, after severe cyclonic storm Amphan killed at least 90 people in eastern India after making landfall on May 20.
Nisarg comes at a moment when India has started easing the world’s largest lockdown of 1.3 billion people, imposed on Mar. 25 to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
The disease has infected nearly 200,000 people and claimed over 5,600 lives in the country, making it the seventh most affected by the virus, while also causing the entire economy to come to a standstill as a result of the lockdown.

Remember When Nine Inch Nails Filmed A Video Album in El Paso
It's been a while since we've seen Nine Inch Nails in El Paso. Since 1991, they've come here a total of at least 4 times with the most recent being back in 2013. Someone even posted the setlist & the flyer for the 1991 Club 101 show that you can check out here.
But the performance I'm interested in was their 2006 performance. Over 15 years ago Nine Inch Nails came to the El Paso County Coliseum as part of their With Teeth Tour when they came here March 30th, 2006.
What album did Nine Inch Nail record in El Paso?
Anyone who went probably noticed the cameras around the inside. Turns out they filmed that show along with the March 28th, Oklahoma City show. The end result would become their 2007 Beside You In Time live video album.
Fun fact: they actually performed 22 songs in El Paso; 19 made the final cut.
Thanks to YouTube, we can see the whole show & see Trent Reznor's (and everyone's!) energy during that tour.
If you need even further proof that they recorded in El Paso, if you look at the credits on the final song, Head Like A Hole at the 7 minute mark, you can see the band thanking to all the crew who helped set up their El Paso show & the El Paso County Coliseum in the "Special Thanks" section.
But what I'm curious about... is which songs had the El Paso footage that was used in the movie? If you find the videos on the official NIN YouTube channel, it tells you the title of the song & the year it was recorded live. But... not the location.
After looking online & asking friends who have seen the DVD, and they can't tell which songs had the Oklahoma footage and which the El Paso footage. They don't even say the name of the city like how many bands would (like "Thank you El Paso!" or something to that extent). However you look at the crowd at the end of Head Like A Hole, you can see a Mexican Flag in the audience.
And with El Paso being right next door to Juarez, I have a reason to believe that is at least one song confirmed that was recorded in El Paso.
Maybe one day we can get a definitive answer on which songs were recorded in El Paso that was used on Beside You In Time. But one thing is certain... they DID record here & just like when Elvis recorded a live album here, that fact will never change.

Staying healthy is a big concern as we grow older. The risk of developing a chronic disease increases with age. According to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), approximately 80% of older adults are diagnosed with at least one chronic condition while 77% have two.
The most common conditions include Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, heart disease, and emphysema. Four of those, including diabetes, stroke, cancer, and heart disease, cause nearly two-thirds of deaths annually. And 90% of Americans over age 55 are at risk for high blood pressure.
Many factors affect your likeliness of developing a chronic condition. Genetic factors cannot be changed. However, there are factors that you can control. Living a healthy lifestyle will give you the best chance of avoiding these problems or give you a leg up when managing them if they appear.
What can you do to start living healthy this year?
- Eat a Healthy Diet
Dietary changes can be difficult, especially if you have been eating the same foods for years. Now is the time to make positive changes in your menu.
You don’t have to do it all at once. Instead, start making small improvements to your diet. For example, instead of eating two pieces of white toast, start replacing one with whole grain. Instead of drinking juice every day, you can eat an orange a few days a week. Choose whole fruit over fruit juice and switch to low-fat snacks.
Incorporating more fiber into your diet is also good for weight loss and reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and colon cancer.
- Start Moving and Stay Active
Start moving and stay active as much as you can. The amount of exercise needed will vary based on age and physical ability level. It’s best to try and work in at least 20 to 30 minutes of physical activity almost every day. This should include strength and aerobic exercises.
If you need motivation, try working out with a partner. Having someone else to hold you accountable can keep you on track.
Remember to consult your physician if you have mobility limitations, health conditions, or other concerns about exercise. They can provide advice to help you build a safe, effective workout routine.
- Talk About Medication Management
Be your own advocate when it comes to medication management. Ask questions when new medications are prescribed. Go over possible side effects and interactions with your doctor.
Some prescriptions may cause drowsiness, appetite loss, or allergic reactions. Be aware of what could happen so you can seek help or make safe decisions about when and where you take your medication.
Also, have a system in place to ensure that you take the appropriate dose each day as recommended. It’s easy to forget and miss days or take too much without proper monitoring.
- Make Sure You Get Restful Sleep
Take steps to ensure that you get restful sleep every night. Exhaustion harm your overall mental and physical health. Start winding down before bed by performing calming activities and turning the lights down.
It’s best to sleep in a cool, quiet bedroom. Go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. If you notice changes in your sleeping habits, talk to your doctor. Insomnia or over exhaustion could be a sign of an underlying medical problem.
- Take Prevention Seriously
Prevention should play a big role in your efforts to stay healthy. Make sure you undergo health screenings for cancer, heart conditions, and cholesterol levels. Talk to your doctor about any other tests that might be beneficial based on your medical history and risk factors.
- Stay Up to Date on Eye Exams
Did you know that your eyes can reveal a lot about your body’s overall health? Stay up to date on your eye exams.
If you notice any changes in your vision, schedule an appointment right away. It could be something minor like a slight change in prescription, or it could be a sign of something more severe like advanced cataracts, glaucoma or a retinal disorder.
- Become a Social Butterfly
Socializing is very good for seniors. It can reduce the risk of depression, improve cognitive abilities, and increase lifespan. People who spend time with friends and family are less likely to experience feelings of loneliness. They also tend to have less anxiety and higher self-esteem.
Your mental wellbeing is closely tied to your physical health, so this should not be ignored at any age. However, it’s even more important for seniors who are often at a higher risk due to isolation and mobility changes.
- Schedule Regular Dental Exams
Along with your eyes, your teeth can also show signs of changes in your health. Older people tend to have a higher risk of developing cavities. If untreated, this can lead to infections.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one in four adults in the U.S. have untreated tooth decay. Oral cancer is most common in older adults over age 55, especially those with a history of heavy drinking and smoking. Chronic diseases like stroke, diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease increase the risk of developing poor oral health.
- Stop Unhealthy Habits
If you engage in any unhealthy habits, now is the time to stop. That includes smoking, overeating, excessive drinking, overuse of painkillers, poor stress management, and anything else that could affect your health. There are organizations and programs available if you need assistance.
Pinnacle Peak Assisted Living provides seniors with a comfortable, safe place to live life to the fullest. Residents have access to medication management, dieting assistance, on-call physicians, and more. Participate in daily sit-down activities as well as weekly trips, movie nights, garden cookouts, bingo, and other opportunities to socialize.

A small town in Indiana may be feeling a little less safe when it comes to protecting itself from crime. This is because it no longer has a police force.
The marshal of Bunker Hill and the department’s four other officers announced their resignations in letters to the town council on Monday, Dec. 13. Marshal Michael Thomison blamed the decision on actions by the council, which he claimed had done “illegal, unethical and immoral” things.
Citing a specific example of improper behavior by the officials, law enforcement personnal claimed that they had been asked to conduct criminal background checks on other members of the council.
The officers said they were then “threatened” when they refused to do so. Safety was another issue, with the officers claiming that they had been forced to share a single set of police-type body armour needed to ensure their own protection. Thomison said one of the actions taken by the council affected him personally.
Having been previously diagnosed with cancer, he was asked to work only part time because of the cost of his insurance. On this issue, Thomison said he plans to taken legal action against the council.
Located some 50 miles north of Indianapolis, Bunker Hill is currently relying upon outside assistance while it tries to replace the officers that quit. According to Thomison, city officials have contacted other officers who have so far been unwilling to help.
None of the council members have commented on the issue, although a statement is expected in due time.
