This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005.

Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned Coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn’t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But 10 years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backward 10 years later.

Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down — that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world’s first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn’t even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope it’s the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: It was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

Emergency 1: The Accident You Don't See Coming
The best way to survive an accident is not to get into one. Start by accepting responsibility for everything that happens when you're in the driver seat. If there's a wreck, you are not an accident victim, but instead an accident participant. It is your job, therefore, to avoid red-light runners, an oncoming driver making a left turn in front of you, sudden freeway jam-ups and those drivers who are composing text messages as they travel the freeway.

See problems before they become emergencies by looking far ahead, while using your peripheral vision to keep position in your lane. Here's how to ensure that you're looking far enough ahead: Use a dry-erase marker to draw a horizontal line on your windshield that crosses just under your pupils. On level ground, you should rarely look below that line. In tight traffic, look through the windshield of the vehicle ahead, or position your car a few inches to that driver's left to see brake lights ahead of him.

Process what you see. When the brake lights of all the cars ahead of you flash, something is happening ahead. Slow down.

Emergency 2: "Invisible" Pedestrians, Motorcycles and Small Vehicles
Approximately 36 percent of crashes involved a vehicle that was turning or crossing an intersection, according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Because today's cars often have thick roof pillars to hold side curtain airbags, it's a lot harder to spot small cars, motorcycles and pedestrians that are about to cross your path than it used to be. So before you turn the steering wheel, look where you want to go. Remember this mnemonic: BLT, which in this case stands for brake, look and turn. This often means looking through the side windows. For U-turns, it requires looking through the rear passenger window. Even if you're travelling straight, a quick glance through the side glass before you cross an intersection will reveal red-light runners and stop-sign skippers.

Emergency 3: Panic Stops
Imagine the freeway is completely blocked. A big rig has spilled its load, a motorist has run out of fuel in the middle lane of rush-hour traffic or a herd of mule deer is crossing I-70 in Utah. You must stop NOW. If your vehicle has computer-controlled antilock braking systems (ABS), all you need do is stomp, stay and, if necessary, steer. You will stop in an unbelievably short distance. Beginning with the 2012 model year, new passenger vehicles have been required to have electronic stability control (ESC), a system that includes ABS as a key component. And about half of 15-year-old cars are equipped with ABS, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

To properly use ABS, stomp on the brake pedal as if you'd win $1 million if you break it off. Use no finesse: Pound it to the floor. Next, stay hard on the pedal until the car comes to a complete stop. Ignore nasty noises or a pulsating brake pedal. That's ABS doing its job. After a half-dozen stops, a 15-year-old on a permit can stop the car as quickly as the best race driver on the planet.

But you must practice. That's because there's a problem in ABS's organic software: the driver. If people are not trained, they don't use ABS properly. (An important note: If your car was built before 2012, make certain it has ABS before you stomp the pedal. Watch the warning lights when you start the vehicle for one that says "ABS."

One last word on panic stops: If the situation calls for emergency braking, don't worry about the vehicle behind you. If you hit the car in front of you, you get the ticket and may get sued. If the car behind hits you, he gets the ticket.

For more info: Kart Steering Wheels

Emergency 4: Accident Avoidance With ABS
One of the beauties of ABS is that it allows steering during hard braking. But this can create serious problems if you do it improperly. A quick technical note explains why: Tires produce their best stopping force when pointed straight ahead. Without ABS, turning while braking hard will cause the tires to stop rolling. That reduces the stopping power and there's absolutely no turning ability. With ABS, the computer allows some of that stopping force to be traded for cornering power.

Here's the problem, however. Many drivers will pound the brake and steer — to miss a deer, for example. They then release the brake pressure with the wheels still turned. With the request for braking removed, the tires are now free to produce maximum cornering power, so the car darts right and hits a second deer — and a tree. That's why you practice centering the wheel before releasing brake pressure.

Emergency 5: Running off the Road
About a quarter of fatal crashes are single-vehicle accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Of those, about 70 percent happen when drivers run two wheels off the pavement and, in a panic, over-correct. This causes the vehicle to spin off the highway and flip, or dart into oncoming traffic. The sad part is that almost all of these accidents could be avoided if the driver just kept calm and drove on.

If you find yourself with two wheels off the road, release the accelerator, keep the steering wheel straight, allow the vehicle to slow on its own and smoothly steer back on the road. If you do it properly, passengers won't even notice your hands moving. It's best to stay away from the brake pedal, but it's OK to use ABS if all four wheels are about to go off the roadway or you're about to hit something harder than a country mailbox. Be sure to center the wheel before you release the brake.

Emergency 6: Tire Blowout
To survive a tire blowout, pretend you're the bad guy in a police chase and you've just run over the cops' spike strips. Push the accelerator (for a moment) and drive straight ahead. The shotgun-blast noise of a tire blowout makes most law-abiding drivers do exactly the wrong thing. They attempt to slow down quickly and get off the road. With a rear-tire failure, any turning at high speed will likely result in a spin and a devastating crash.

When I trained drivers in emergency techniques, hundreds of them correctly handled a tire blowout while I sat in the passenger seat and pressed the detonator to ignite a plastic explosive that blew a gaping hole in the tire. Not one driver lost control. You can be that calm, too.

Pressing the accelerator for an instant will give you time to collect your wits. You'll remember to drive straight down your lane and to stay away from the brake pedal. Allow the car to coast down to slow and then gently pull onto the shoulder. The car will not gain speed no matter how long you press the accelerator. The drag force of a completely flat tire is that potent.

Almost all highway blowouts and tread separations occur on hot days with the car traveling in a straight line at high speed on an underinflated tire or tires. The repeated flexing of an underinflated tire causes the failure. Check your tire pressures and you won't have to deal with blowouts.

Emergency 7: Over-Reactive Steering
In an urgent situation, your goal is to move the steering wheel rapidly but smoothly. Jerking the wheel may cause your tires to lose traction. If rough steering causes the rear tires to lose traction, you might go for a spin. Turning the same amount but doing so smoothly will introduce the tires to the request for cornering force and avoid overwhelming them.

Here's an example of why you don't want to be a steering jerk: On a recent rainy evening in the mountains of Virginia, I suddenly came upon a truck tire tread in my lane. The dark, water-filled wagon-wheel ruts were perfect camouflage for the giant black road gator. I calmly and smoothly turned the wheel just enough to miss 80 pounds of steel-reinforced rubber, paused an instant to allow the tires to regain full grip, and then smoothly turned right to return to my lane. If I had snapped the wheel back and forth, there's a good chance I would have wound up in the ditch.

Emergency 8: Stuck Throttles and Sudden Acceleration
Thanks to things like loose floor mats and a poorly placed racecar throttle cable, I have experienced stuck throttles. If your engine starts racing away uncontrollably, you must stop it immediately. If the car started accelerating when you pushed the brake, release that pedal. If the engine stops screaming, you were actually pushing the throttle. Now try pushing the pedal to its left. If that doesn't stop the vehicle, slap the transmission into Neutral. Don't worry about inadvertently shifting into Reverse. Most modern vehicles will not allow you to do that without manipulating a button on the shift lever. And if you do manage to get to Reverse, the computer in the transmission of all modern vehicles will reject your request. As a very last resort, turn off the ignition.

While taking these actions, press the brake as hard as you can. In every well-maintained modern car, the brakes easily overpower the engine, even if the transmission downshifts a gear or two. If you're truly pushing the brake as hard as you can, the car will stop, even with the engine going full speed. However, the brakes can't beat the engine forever and people with physical problems may not be able to maintain adequate brake pressure, so select Neutral and turn off the ignition.

Emergency 9: Front-Tire Slide
When front tires lose grip, most drivers' natural reaction is the correct reaction:
Say "Oh, shoot" (or similar).
Remove your foot from the gas pedal.
Stay away from the brake pedal.
Leave your hands where they are. More steering won't help and might hurt.
Wait for the traction to return.
Pray that the grip comes back before you get to the trees or concrete barriers.
Turning the wheel more or stepping on the brake is like writing checks from an overdrawn account. You're already asking for more grip than the tires can provide.

Emergency 10: Rear-Tire Slide
Words can't teach you to hit a curveball. And they can't tell you how to catch a rear-tire slide, which stock car drivers call "loose" and engineers call "oversteer." Unlike a front-tire slide, you cannot successfully react to a rear-tire slide. You must anticipate it.

Electronic stability control (ESC) is making the ability to catch a slide as obsolete as being able to rapid-fire a muzzle-loading musket. But ESC can still use your help. Make sure your tires have adequate tread depth and are properly inflated. The tires with the deepest tread should be on the rear. Know that ESC does not offer diplomatic immunity from the laws of physics. If you enter a 30-mph turn at 60, you're going to crash, ESC or not.

If your vehicle lacks ESC, there are a few moderate-cost ways to learn how to catch a sliding tail. The biggest bang for the buck is the "slick track" go-kart tracks found at many amusement parks.  For a few dollars more, try the indoor kart tracks found in most metro areas.

1. Mazda
Japanese car brand, Mazda, takes out the top spot as the best car brand of 2021. Not only did it score Best Overall, but it also took the top place in Best Overall Mainstream and Best Reliability, beating luxury brands like BMW, Tesla, and Porsche. The Mazda CX-30 is also listed in the top ten vehicles as the best Subcompact SUV. The company has been in business since 1920, with a brand essence to ‘celebrate driving,’ making fun-to-drive models across the range. As of 2020, the company had sales in over 130 countries and regions, with SUV/crossover vehicles, like the CX-3, constituting 52% of global sales.


2. BMW
Runner up on the list is the German luxury car manufacturer, BMW, which is an improvement from the previous year. Technology, excellent comfort levels, fuel efficiency, and powertrain refinement are the cornerstones of the brand’s reputation. The cars are fun to drive, with intuitive infotainment, good reliability, and stylish looks. There’s also a focus on innovating production technology and sustainability, using intelligent materials, increased digitalization, and resource-efficient production.



3. Subaru
Not only did Subaru come third in overall brand rating, but it also had two individual cars named in the top ten. The Forester is the Best Small SUV, while the Outback is the Best SUV/Wagon. Focusing on these kinds of vehicles is a winning formula, with the signature all-wheel-drive consistently leading the brand to be ranked high on the Consumer Reports Top Picks. The Japanese company has an engineering spirit that offers intelligent packaging of outstanding safety and driving performance in every vehicle.

4. Porsche
Luxury brand Porsche is synonymous with both high-end sporty vehicles and race cars. While there is still a focus on the sporty models, newer additions to the range include SUVs like the Cayenne and Macan. All models boast beautiful interiors, excellent handling, and superb braking. The company can also claim the three-way tied title of Best Road Test Score Overall (tied with Audi and Tesla) in the Consumer Reports 2021 testing. Plus, it’s the highest-ranking European brand for reliability in its SUVs.


5. Honda
Moving up ten spots from last year, Honda showed the most improvement in the 2021 list. It always had a competitive fuel economy and energetic powertrains. However, the rise in the ranking was primarily thanks to advancements in reliability, with most models now boasting average or higher reliability. The Ridgeline took out top ranking for the Best Compact Pickup Truck with revised styling and an updated infotainment system. The latest innovation from the more than 70-year-old Japanese brand is the Honda SmartChargeTM beta program to reduce drivers’ environmental footprints


6. Lexus
The Lexus RX combines comfort, performance, safety, and reliability to win the Best Midsize SUV. Beyond that, the brand is all about luxury. It embraces Omotenashi, the Japanese spirit of hospitality, to anticipate and fulfill all your needs before you know you have them. Enjoy the latest innovations, including electrification, unrivaled comfort and attention to detail, and the most deluxe finishes. As the luxury arm of Toyota, you’ll find Lexus in more than 70 countries and territories globally.

7. Toyota
Three Toyota vehicles ranked in the Top 10, while the company itself is number seven in the overall brands’ rating. The Corolla is the Best Small Car, the Prius is the Best Hybrid, and the Camry is the Best Midsize Sedan. The Japanese brand is consistent in terms of reliability, quality, and customer satisfaction. Plus, all three of their top models also earned the Consumer Report Green Choice label, something that’s increasingly important for consumers. This label means they’re in the top 20% for lowest carbon emissions and pollutants, and it’s the 18th year in a row the Prius has boasted the title.


8. Chrysler
Best American Brand Overall goes to Chrysler, original makers of the minivan. There are currently three models, including the 300 sedan, Pacifica, and Voyager minivans. All have excellent storage capacity and intuitive infotainment and controls. The company is part of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group, which joined forces in January 2021 with Groupe PSA to create Stellantis, a leader in sustainable mobility. Plus, it’s also one of the big three automotive manufacturers in the United States, along with Ford and General Motors.


9. Buick
Buick sits under the General Motors (GM) umbrella and straddles the line between mainstream and luxury. It’s more luxurious than the GM’s mainstream brands but not quite the same standard as the flagship Cadillac. The current focus is the selection of SUVs that features small, compact, and mid-size options. Each has beautiful, signature interiors with inspiration in every detail, intuitive storage, quality infotainment and controls, and excellent reliability. However, the gas mileage doesn’t quite meet the standards set by competitors.


10. Hyundai
Hyundai has one of the largest fleets on offer with sedans, hybrids, a sports car, SUVs, and a pick-up truck. Most of the styles from this Korean brand are solid performers, with nice fit and finish, useful details, and good controls. As such, it’s one of the most trustworthy brands. It also boasts a commitment to creating a better, smarter, more sustainable future, which is why the hybrid Ioniq is such a great challenger to the Toyota Prius.



11. Audi
German luxury brand Audi tied equal third for Best Road Test Score Overall, with Porsche and Tesla. Sitting under the Volkswagon umbrella, the brand is known for its high level of elegance, including well-crafted interiors and style. However, it also boasts advanced technology, excellent performance, and the trademark Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2020. It also has quite a large selection of vehicles, including sedans, wagons, sports cars, and SUVs. Sustainability and digitalization are the cornerstones of future development in a new era of premium mobility.



12. Infiniti
Launched in 1989, Infiniti is a division of Nissan, created to compete with the European and American luxury brands that were dominating the market in the 80s. The range includes a sedan, a sports car, and several SUVs. Many safety features come standard, which sets the brand apart, as does the quality fit and finish and strong powertrains. However, according to Consumer Reports, the performance and reliability outcomes vary across the range, while the infotainment is not as advanced as it could be.



13. Nissan
Nissan sits in the middle of the pack because the test results fluctuate considerably across the range, which also happens to be quite large. Consequently, it’s essential to do some research before committing to a model. However, most feature forward collision warning (FCW) and automatic emergency braking (AEB) which are both advanced safety features. As part of the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, it’s one of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers, with distribution worldwide.


14. Dodge
It’s all about muscle cars at Dodge, a division of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Dodge brothers, Horace and John, founded the company in 1900, after initially supplying parts and assembly to other manufacturers, including Ford. The current range focuses on just three models — the Challenger, Charger, and Durango, an SUV. All are comfortable cruisers with a choice of engines depending on how much grunt you want. However, visibility isn’t the best as design trumps functionality in this area.



15. Genesis
Genesis is a South Korean brand founded in 2015 under the Hyundai Motor Group. It’s the parent company’s upscale brand, intended to compete with other luxury manufacturers, including BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz. According to Consumer Reports, the 2021 models in the small range display excellent handling balance, nice fit and finishes, and plenty of advanced driver systems as standard. Complicated controls are the one downside to the designs. Style-wise, look for the signature crest grille, single line along the side, quad lamps, and elegant interiors that embrace ‘white space.’



16. Tesla
Elon Musk’s Tesla leads the pack in electric vehicle design and innovation. The original Roadster is still in the collection but has since been joined by the Model 3 and S sedans, Model X and Y SUVs, and the space-age-looking Cybertruck. Telsa ranks high in technological innovation and impressive driving distance. The Model 3 was also originally classified as the Best Electic Car in the Consumer Reports top picks. However, this was repealed due to changes in standard feature inclusions, such as dropping radar for camera-based automatic emergency braking.



17. Mini
Mini is a quintessential Brtish brand, designed and engineered by BMW, but with a mixed bag of reliability in testing. Every car in the range is perfect for zipping around town, redefining urban life. Enjoy a go-kart feeling with ground-hugging designs, excellent agility, and brilliant maneuverability, which, combined with the compact size, makes parking a breeze. Environmentally conscious drivers can also choose the newer electric and hybrid cars, with the same unique character but fewer emissions destroying the environment.



18. Volkswagen
The fun-to-drive factor is high in the Volkswagon vehicles. Generally, they’re a comfortable ride, with a good fit and finish, agile handling, and a more premium feel than similar brands. Additionally, they feature FCW and AEB as standard in most models. However, the reliability lets the brand down, especially in the SUV models. The yet-to-be-released ID.4 is the latest innovation from the German brand. It’s a long-range electric vehicle that has a striking road presence and a spacious, comfortable cabin.



19. Kia
Founded in 1944, Kia is Korea’s oldest motor vehicle manufacturer. It’s now part of the global Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group, employing more than 40,000 people with sales in 172 countries. The brand is positioned as excellent value with lower price points but good value for money. It boasts an extensive range that includes small cars, sedans, SUVs, and minivans. Each is modern, stylish, and competent, with decent acceleration and fuel economy. Regular refreshers to both the design and range keep things up to date and innovative.



20. Volvo
Swedish brand Volvo has a reputation for being solid and safe. This reflects the spirit of omtanke, meaning caring, considering, and think again, which is core to the organization. Typical features in the cars include secure handling and comfortable seats. However, the ride can be a little stiff, and reliability is mixed across the board, with some models (S60/V60 and XC40) scoring high, while others were in the bottom ten. Despite the moderate rest results, innovation is key at Volvo, and one of the brand’s biggest goals is replacing all combustion engines in its range entirely with electric cars only by 2030.



21. Mercedes-Benz
Janis Joplin once sang, “Oh Lord, won’t you buy me, a Mercedez-Benz.” Even though the brand is sitting at number 21, you might still be singing this to yourself. Some of the models, including the C, E, and S class sedans and GLS and GLE SUVs, performed well under scrutiny. In general, they had a plush, luxury ride, beautiful interiors and styling, crisp handling, advanced safety systems, and a quiet cabin. What let them down, though, was the reliability. The German brand also has some more affordable options, including the A-Class, GLA, and GLB SUVs with an innovative electric vehicle on the way. If you’re looking for some celebrity-style street cred, choose the G-Class, also colloquially known as a G-Wagon (but good luck getting the Post Malone song out of your head).



22. Cadillac
Innovation is coded into the DNA of GM’s flagship brand, Cadillac. As such, the brand is reinventing how people drive through new technology such as Super Cruise self-driving and an increasingly connected experience. The recently renewed line of vehicles features bold styling and well-finished interiors for a luxury feel. Plus, the V series is the sportiest release yet, with a very engaging drive. While those models haven’t been tested, reliability across the remaining models is a mixed bag.



23. Acura
Honda’s premium brand, Acura, was established in 1986 and is the first Japanese luxury car brand. The range includes a mix of sedans, SUVs, and a super-fast hybrid sports car, the TLX. Innovation, performance, and design are the cornerstones of the company; however, based on Consumer Report’s testing, there are still some issues. This includes a clunky drive, less-than-ideal controls, and unreliability. All are factors that mean, as a premium brand, it doesn’t quite meet the same overall standards as the European competitors.



24. Chevrolet
While the sporty Camaro and Corvette remain key assets in the Chevrolet line, the American company, like many others, is shifting focus to SUVs. Examples include an all-new Tahoe, Trailblazer, and Suburban. There’s even a new all-electric option, the Bolt. All of this aligns with the goals of creating peace of mind, a better world, a smarter future, and a fresh perspective. Regarding the test results and its position in the list, the infotainment system is incredibly easy to use, but the fleet is, unfortunately, let down by reliability, sitting in the bottom half of the rankings.


25. Ford
Ford has been a pioneering brand since its inception in 1903. This is continued today through the Ford Smart Mobility plan to lead in customer experience, connectivity, and autonomous vehicles. The brand also has a reputation for good handling, excellent shock absorption, and a solid ride. Like many other manufacturers, there’s a shift towards SUVs and pick-up trucks, as well as electric vehicles. Despite decent performances in the former two categories, the only car to score above average in reliability is the Edge SUV, resulting in a low position on the list.



26. GMC
It’s all about trucks and SUVs at GMC, where they’ve been manufacturing them since 1912. Sitting in the General Motors family, the American brand shares many mechanical and construction similarities with the less premium brand Chevrolet. However, this does mean, comparatively, they don’t stand out as much as they could. Despite this, there are still some significant innovations coming out of the brand, including the world’s first all-electric super truck, the Hummer EV. Regarding the Consumer Reports testing, reliability is mixed across the collection ranging from better to below average, so check the rating on each model individually.



27. Jaguar
Luxury British brand, Jaguar, is known for powerful engines, excellent comfort, driving agility, and of course, a distinctive aesthetic. These cars make you feel things. They’re sleek and sit low to the ground, which looks great and adds to the drive but can be tricky to get in and out of elegantly. Electrification is the next frontier for the company, with the release of the all-electric I-PACE, which takes inspiration from the race track. However, reliability and slow infotainment systems are the two major areas where the brand lost points in the ranking.



28. Lincoln
Ford owns Lincoln, and consequently, the brands share much of the same powertrains, platforms, and technology. However, as a luxury brand, Lincoln is better equipped and much plusher, with insightful technologies, connectivity, and interior amenities. The latest focus is on SUVs only, like the Navigator and Aviator, which demonstrated a decent ride and handling. However, like many brands towards the bottom of the list, reliability is the fall point.


29. Jeep
Jeep fans tend to be loyalists. The brand portrays a rugged essence full of adventures, but in reality, they can be a bit uncomfortable, not great on fuel, and lacking in interior fit and finish. Having said that, off-road adventures across all kinds of landscapes aren’t taken for the first-class comforts, so reflecting that in your ride is less essential. An exception is the Grand Cherokee, which has the highest road test score from the range with excellent handling, high comfort, and easy controls. The American company is part of Chrysler but was included in the recent merger into Stellantis.



30. Mitsubishi
Unfortunately for Mitsubishi, its vehicles were largely unsuccessful in the 2021 Consumer Reports testing. The collection consists primarily of SUVs like the Outlander and Eclipse, including some electric options. There are also a couple of small cars like the Mirage and Lancer. Not all vehicles were tested, but those that were qualified for a participation medal at the most. One of the biggest positives for the brand is the inclusion of standard active safety features like FCW and AEB with pedestrian detection, resulting in a safe ride.


31. Land Rover
Despite presenting an image of cross-country ruggedness, Land Rovers are second from the bottom on the 2021 Consumer Reports list. First introduced in 1948, the English brand was a utilitarian design for off-road adventures. Now, it’s positioned as a luxury brand, favored by the upper class, and more likely to be seen at the country club than traversing the country. While the interiors are plush and comfortable, reliability lets the brand down. However, if you are looking for the best off-road capabilities, the Defender, Range Rover, and Discovery remain first-class and an excellent choice.


32. Alfa Romeo
Italian company Alfa Romeo has the unenviable position of last in the 2021 rankings. While technical evolution and driving pleasure are at the soul of the company, its place in the list is low based on reliability and human factors. Nonetheless, the designs ooze Italian charm and character and have excellent, sports-car-like handling, with distinctive engine sound. The brand is based in Turin, Italy, and has been around since 1910. Plus, it’s also involved in motor racing since 1911, hence the excellent handling across the collection.



Fuel Economy
All cars have government EPA quoted feul-economy figures, plus manufacturer claims. However, independent testing is just as valuable to verify these assertions. That’s why Consumer Reports runs it

Have you ever wondered why some couples effortlessly navigate the twists and turns of their relationships, while others seem to hit more bumps along the way? You may have pondered if there's a secret to boosting communication and understanding with your partner. If the thought of seeking expert advice for your relationship has ever crossed your mind, know that you're not alone. Marriage counseling isn't just a safety net for tough times; it's like having a skilled guide to help you both tackle challenges, improve communication, and fortify that special connection. It's not just about crisis management; it's a proactive step toward building a relationship that's not just strong but also brimming with resilience. In this article, we'll dive into why countless individuals have discovered genuine value in the practical support offered by marriage counseling.

What is Marriage Counselling?

Marriage counselling encompasses a range of strategies aimed at assisting couples in addressing challenges and enhancing their relationship. The primary goal is to tackle immediate issues while offering emotional support and nurturing the self-esteem and optimism of both partners.

Research has found that couples with better family functioning and those without children tend to do well in therapy. In counseling, couples learn that relationship problems often involve contributions from both partners. Recognizing this, they can adjust how they interact to resolve issues. It is also available for anyone seeking to enhance their relationship. Whether dealing with behavioral issues, relationship challenges, or mental and emotional struggles, the support is open to all.

Identifying Signs: Is Your Relationship Ready for Counseling?

Each query explores aspects that can significantly influence the dynamics of a relationship. Recognizing these signs is the first step towards fostering a resilient and thriving connection and seeking the support of marriage counseling.

● Do you often find yourself attacking your partner's character or personality with blame and accusations, creating an environment of constant attack and erosion of your relationship's foundation?
If you frequently criticize your partner or find that this often happens to you, it may be a sign that your relationship needs attention. Constant criticism can lead to anger and insecurity, impacting the emotional connection between you and your partner.

● Are insults, deliberate name-calling, sarcasm, or eye-rolling a common way of expressing yourself?
Expressing contempt through insults and disrespect can create an environment of hatred and resentment, making it challenging for couples to express themselves or resolve conflicts peacefully. If contempt is a frequent presence in your relationship, seeking counseling may help rebuild respect and facilitate healthier communication.

● Do you often feel defeated in response to criticism and contempt, therefore finding yourself putting up a defensive wall that hinders communication and issue resolution?
When someone dodges taking responsibility, like being defensive, it is difficult to have open and healthy communication. If you notice this happening a lot in your relationship, maybe giving therapy a shot could help you both figure out better ways to handle criticism and contempt.

● Do you or your partner ever just tune out during talks, shut down, or avoid communication, especially when things get a bit heated?
This kind of behavior, called stonewalling, is characterized by checking out and avoiding conversation and can severely impact emotional connection. It is one of the most dangerous and important factors in predicting divorce among couples.

● Do your conversations often begin with a negative and accusatory tone, especially when discussing sensitive topics or conflicts?
Starting conversations on a harsh note, marked by criticism, sarcasm, or hostility, can hinder positive resolution and create an environment where negativity makes resolution difficult. If you find this to be a common occurrence, then therapy can provide tools to foster a more constructive communication style.

● Do you experience emotional waves during discussions, feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable?
Frequent emotional flooding can shake the stability of a relationship. If you often feel overwhelmed and vulnerable during discussions, it may be a sign to discuss it with your partner as well as seek counseling to address these emotional challenges.

● Do your attempts to de-escalate tension during sensitive discussions go unnoticed?
In relationships dominated by criticism, contempt, and defensiveness, repair attempts may go unnoticed, contributing to a negative cycle. The sooner you and your partner can acknowledge and address failed repair attempts is crucial, and seeking marriage counseling can offer guidance in breaking this pattern.

The recognition of these signs is a testament to your commitment to a healthy and enduring partnership. Whether it's breaking the cycle of criticism or weathering emotional floods, the journey of self-discovery within a relationship is an ongoing process. Sit with your partner and go through these questions together. If you both find yourselves agreeing to these questions or saying “yes” in response, it could be a sign that seeking counseling together might be a good move. It's not about blaming each other; it's about figuring things out and getting the extra support you both might need.

Is Couples Therapy or Marriage Therapy Effective?

Couples therapy, often regarded as a confidential space for relationship healing, has garnered substantial support through rigorous research. Here’s how couples therapy has proven to be effective:

● Specific Relationship Problems: Dealing with particular relationship challenges, recent studies indicate that couple therapy proves effective in tackling issues like sexual difficulties, infidelity, and intimate partner violence.

● Real-world Effectiveness: Examining its real-world impact, a 2020 study by Bradbury & Bodenmann revealed that while couples therapy tends to bring about positive changes in the short term, with many reporting improvements during the therapy period, the long-term effects aren't consistently maintained for everyone. About half of the couples, after a few years, may find that the positive changes achieved during therapy tend to fade or lose their impact. This could be due to various factors such as life stressors, evolving dynamics, or relationships' natural ebb and flow over time. It emphasizes the importance of ongoing efforts and possibly follow-up interventions for some couples to maintain the gains achieved through couples therapy in the long run.

● Comparison with Other Interventions: A study by Shadish and Baldwin in 2005, indicated that both behavioral and nonbehavioral therapies have similar impact rates on couples. The average person undergoing couple therapy experiences improvement comparable to or exceeding the effectiveness of leading interventions for individual mental health disorders. suggests that individuals Individuals undergoing couple counselling tend to experience improvements in their well-being that are not only comparable but can even surpass the effectiveness of leading interventions designed for individual mental health disorders.

● Overall Effectiveness: Research indicates that couples therapy is substantiated as an effective method for reducing relationship distress. Various therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, integrative behavioral therapy, and emotionally focused therapy, have all demonstrated significant effectiveness in bringing about positive changes and improvements in distressed relationships.

Therefore, couples therapy emerges not just as a remedy for strained relationships but as a holistic approach fostering emotional well-being and behavioral resilience in human connection.

Approaches to Couples Therapy

In therapy, practitioners often turn to evidence-based methods to support couples.

● Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: In the realm of online therapy, the focus is on understanding how partners tackle challenges and digging into thought patterns. Therapists use practical exercises to show how thoughts impact daily life, working collaboratively to help couples tweak unhelpful thinking for a more positive relationship shift. Through convenient online therapy sessions, couples can explore these aspects from the comfort of their own space, fostering a positive shift in their relationship dynamics.

● Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): It is a purpose-driven approach that stands out. Unlike diving deep into exhaustive problem analysis, SFBT guides couples toward specific, desired outcomes. It's about a purposeful journey rather than getting lost in the intricacies. It's like having a roadmap tailored for success. SFBT is not just about discussions; it's a dynamic process that crafts a structured plan, arming couples with practical tools and skills to conquer the intricacies of everyday life. Unlike more conventional methods, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a distinctive experience where couples, working closely with their therapist, zero in on specific issues. Together, they craft a narrative woven with solutions, resilience, and lasting fulfillment.

● Gottman Method: It brings a unique and data-driven touch, courtesy of the groundbreaking work of Professor John Gottman from the University of Washington. This method is tailored for committed, long-term couples seeking to build trust and enrich the journey of marriage. Working with therapists who follow this approach involves a comprehensive initial assessment, reflecting the method's deliberate, research-oriented roots. Couples embark on a journey of deep understanding, respect, and empathy, guided by scientifically structured therapeutic interventions and research-oriented exercises. The Gottman Method is a personalized exploration aimed at overcoming barriers and cultivating a profound connection that transcends complacency, offering couples a distinctive and research-therapy path toward a thriving relationship.

● Emotion-Focused Therapy: This is an empathetic approach that involves peeling back layers in sessions where you and your partner dive into specific tough moments. Together with the therapist, it's about really understanding the emotions behind those situations and connecting the dots. The unique strength of Emotion-Focused Therapy lies in its emphasis on understanding and managing emotions, fostering open discussions to gain new perspectives and knowledge about each other's emotional reactions. The overarching goals are to build a strong bond, enhance communication skills, and cultivate a foundation of trust, making EFT a distinct and effective path toward a more connected and resilient marital relationship.

The common thread tying these approaches together is the shared goal of fostering understanding, trust, and resilience. So, as couples dive into these therapeutic journeys, it's not just about fixing today's problems. It's about discovering tools that feel like they're made just for them, laying the groundwork for a lasting sense of fulfillment in their journey together.

There are numerous ways to prepare noodles to make it healthy. But majority of Nigerians just prepare it like that, with boiled or fried eggs.

I eat noodles ones in a while with my kids. I prepare it with lots of vegetables( carrots, scallion, peas, runner beans, sweet corn, red/green/ yellow bell pepper etc poultry or Sustainable Seafood. And I don't use the seasoning in the pack.

Not the poverty noodles most Nigerians dey eat

Nigeria Military Backs Sunday Igboho’s Plan To Combat Insecurity In South-West.

The Nigerian Military has expressed support for the vow made by Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, to assist security agents in eradicating killer herdsmen from Save the Forest in the South-West.

Spokesman of the Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, in a statement at the weekend further emphasized the collective effort required to combat the nation’s security challenges.

He remarked, “I have not seen the video where he made that statement, but one thing I must say is that people and communities are always welcomed. If what he said is to make the situation better, he is welcomed, but if what he is saying is that we should disregard the armed forces of Nigeria, definitely, he is out of line because that is against Nigeria’s constitution.”

In an operational update, Buba shared that in February 2024, the armed forces neutralized 974 terrorists, apprehended 621, and successfully rescued 466 kidnapped hostages. He expressed the military’s unwavering commitment to ending terrorism and insecurity across the country through decisive actions and strategic operations.

“For us, creating a safer environment for citizens translates to eliminating all threats hindering the safety and security of citizens. Troops conducted synchronised strikes between the ground and air forces on terrorist enclaves, killing a significant number of them. It is possible to say with significant certainty that these strikes have had a significant impact on the terrorists adversely,” he stated.

Look at d conclusion you are making after heavy media trials........

Under whose watch did emefiele action occur

We Nigerians should please elevate ourselves from tribal sentiments and see the game our leaders are playing, they don't have the interest of the people at heart

Emefiele announced total naira change a month to elections( this action single handedly nearly ruined tinubus presidential bid, that action alone elevated obi from a distant third opposition to second, there was practically no cash in circulation to prosecute elections the Nigerian way( it usually goes to the highest bidders)

Nigerians have suddenly forgotten their suffering during dat period and are now doing economic analysis of what they barely understand for example people sold old #1000 naira notes for #700 for fear of it turning waste in their hands

And we all think Tinubu won't retaliate

As usual tribal sentiments have been whipped up as smoke screens while Save The Elephants fight heavily among themselves

As a Nigerian ur most important perogative should be not to get slaughtered with the pigs

Ahmed Mohamed’s homemade alarm clock got him suspended from his suburban Dallas high school and detained and handcuffed by police officers on Monday after school officials accused him of making a fake bomb. By Wednesday, it had brought him an invitation to the White House, support from Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mark Zuckerberg, and a moment of head-spinning attention as questions arose whether he had been targeted because of his name and his religion.

As a result, a 14-year-old freshman at MacArthur High School in Irving, Tex., who is partial to tinkering, technology and NASA T-shirts and wants to go to M.I.T., found himself in a social media whirlwind that reflected the nation’s charged debates on Islam, immigration and ethnicity.

“Cool clock, Ahmed,” President Obama said on Twitter. “Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.” Mr. Obama’s staff invited Ahmed to the White House for Astronomy Night on Oct. 19, an event bringing together scientists, engineers, astronauts, teachers and students to spend a night stargazing from the South Lawn.

The president’s spokesman said the episode was a case study in unreasoned prejudice in an era when the country is fighting Islamic terrorism at home and in the Middle East.






“This episode is a good illustration of how pernicious stereotypes can prevent even good-hearted people who have dedicated their lives to educating young people from doing the good work that they set out to do,” said Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary.


But on some conservative sites, he was the subject of slurs and vitriol and suggestions that he and his family did not belong here.

Shortly before a news conference Wednesday outside his home in Irving, Ahmed waved to a thick crowd of reporters from the doorway as his family brought pizzas and drinks for the news media. Ahmed said he was considering transferring out of MacArthur High and had indeed accepted Mr. Obama’s invitation.

Asked about the attention and support he had received from Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Zuckerberg, a founder of Facebook, Ahmed said, “It felt really outstanding,” adding that he wanted to use his moment in the spotlight to “try my best not just to help me but to help every other kid in the entire world that has a problem like this.” He introduced himself, after saying “as-salaamu alaykum,” the Muslim greeting of peace, as “the person who built a clock and got in a lot of trouble for it.”

Ahmed’s father, Mohamed El Hassan, 54, was at turns humble, emotional, grateful and patriotic, making it a point to mention they lived in their house for more than 30 years and that his son had fixed his car, his phone, his electricity and his computer and had built, in true all-American fashion, a Go Kart Tank. “That is not America,” he said of Ahmed’s detainment. “That is not us. That is not like us.”

The Irving police chief, Larry Boyd, said at a news conference on Wednesday that the officers were justified in detaining the teenager based on the information they had at the time, when initially it was “not immediately evident that” Ahmed’s clock was a class experiment. He added, however, that the police had “no evidence to support that there was an intention to create an alarm.” Asked whether the police would have reacted differently if Ahmed had been white, Chief Boyd said they would have followed the same procedures.

“You can’t take things like that to school,” he said.

The thing in question was the product of Ahmed’s love of invention. He made the clock out of a metal briefcase-style box, a digital display, wires and a circuit board. It was bigger and bulkier than a typical bedside clock, with cords, screws and electrical components.

He said he took it to school on Monday to show an engineering teacher, who said it was nice but then told him he should not show the invention to other teachers. Later, Ahmed’s clock beeped during an English class, and after he revealed the device to the teacher, school officials notified the police, and Ahmed was interrogated by officers.

“She thought it was a threat to her,” Ahmed told reporters Wednesday. “So it was really sad that she took a wrong impression of it.”

Fingerprints and a mug shot were taken at a juvenile detention center. The clock was confiscated, and Ahmed was suspended from school for three days, until Thursday.

In a letter to parents, the school’s principal, Dan Cummings, informed them that the police had responded to a “suspicious-looking item on campus.” The Irving school district acknowledged in a statement Wednesday that the information released about the incident was “unbalanced,” but officials said they could not comment further because of student privacy laws.

Texas Democrats said Ahmed’s detention was an outgrowth of the anti-Muslim sentiments of Irving officials. The city’s mayor, Beth Van Duyne, has been outspoken in criticizing a Muslim group that mediates disputes between the area’s Muslim residents, accusing it of establishing an anti-American Shariah court of law.


“Ahmed’s arrest is a logical conclusion to Islamophobia in Irving and it’s deplorable,” the chairwoman of the Dallas County Democratic Party, Carol Donovan, said in a statement.

The mayor could not be reached for comment Wednesday night. She wrote on Facebook that she did not fault the school or the police “for looking into what they saw as a potential threat,” but added that as a parent she would be upset if the situation had happened to her child.

“Hopefully, we can all learn from this week’s events and the student, who has obvious gifts, will not feel at all discouraged from pursuing his talent in electronics and engineering,” Ms. Van Duyne wrote.

For his part, Ahmed said the police still had his clock. Before mentioning that he would love to present his inventions to celebrity investors on the “Shark Tank” television show, Ahmed was asked if he had any message for other young gadget-builders.

“Go for it,” he said. “Don’t let people change who you are.”

I think you need to go learn about Lewis and racism in Jotech Motorsports. It starts back in carting way before he became a teenager.

As for women in F1, it's always been open to women. All they need show is a time competitive with the men, and it would be rather difficult to deny them a place on track if they find a team willing to take them.

Tips on Acura integra luggage test: how big is the trunk; the Acura Integra B-Series is a pretty good car to own and drive: it’s easy to find parts for, it gets great gas mileage, and it has a solid reputation for reliability. But if you’re like me, you’ll be disappointed when you try to put your luggage in the trunk—because there simply isn’t enough space. I’ve had two cars with small trunks (a Honda Civic and an Acura Integra), so that really shouldn’t have been a surprise. Still, maybe your expectations were set too high by the one-trunk rule? The truth is that even though the Honda Civic has a bigger trunk than its Subaru Impreza rival (and therefore more room), they both have very limited space when compared to vehicles such as SUV or station wagons.

The [b]Acura Integra B-Series is a quite good car to own and drive, but the trunk is surprisingly small.,[/b]

The Acura Integra is a quite good car to own and drive, but the trunk is surprisingly small. It can fit two large suitcases or one carry-on bag. However, if you want to take your roller skates with you on vacation, you’ll have to leave them at home because they won’t fit in the trunk.

The Acura Integra’s trunk is big enough for only one large suitcase and one carry-on bag.

According to Nana Baffoe Agyei who is also the Onyinasehene, (traditional ruler) narrated the story to News Ghana, that he had the information from the care taker of the cocoa farm that, some Fulani herdsmen have set fire into the forest which has eventually gutted the cocoa farm.

He added, the Fulani herdsmen attacked the care taker, tried to killed him but God on his side, he narrowly escaped from the place to the next town of which they lodged a complaint at the police station.

The place is full of about 10,000 cows and the Fulani herdsmen are scattered all over their farms, leaving the people in the village scared to go to their farms.
