Bruce Willis

The family of Bruce Willis Just announced that he has been diagnosed with dementia. The type of dementia he is diagnosed with is known as frontotemporal dementia. This type of dementia happens when the nerve cells of the  frontal and temporal lobes of the brain decrease in number. Bruce Willis who is 67 years old was previously diagnosed with aphasia which forced him to retire from acting.

People with dementia often find it difficult to speak full sentences, hold things properly, read and write. They also find it difficult to hold full conversations with people.

Who is Bruce Willis?

Bruce Willis is an American actor, producer, and singer. He was born on March 19, 1955, in Idar-Oberstein, West Germany (now Germany) and raised in New Jersey, United States. He is best known for his roles in action films, including the Die Hard series, as well as for his work in dramas and comedies.

Willis began his career in the early 1980s, appearing in several TV shows and films. He gained recognition for his role as David Addison Jr. in the television series Moonlighting, which aired from 1985 to 1989. His breakthrough role came in 1988 with the action film Die Hard, in which he played the role of John McClane. He has since appeared in several sequels to the film, including Die Hard 2, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Live Free or Die Hard, and A Good Day to Die Hard.

In addition to his work in the Die Hard series, Willis has appeared in numerous other films, including Pulp Fiction, Armageddon, The Sixth Sense, and Unbreakable. He has also made appearances on several television shows, including Friends, where he played the character of Paul Stevens.

Outside of his acting career, Willis has released two albums as a singer and has also produced several films. He has been married twice, first to actress Demi Moore, with whom he has three daughters, and later to model Emma Heming, with whom he has two daughters.

Basic Capabilities of an High End Phone

Olusola

A high end mobile phone does more than just a mobile phone. Simply put, it is a  mini PC in your pocket. Most of what can be achieved with your traditional laptops can also be done with your high-end mobile phone. 

Qualities of an High End Mobile Phone

  1. It should have high computing capabilities. It should be  equipped with powerful processors  including graphics processors for gaming and video editing.
  2. Should possess high ROM and RAM storage space. ( At least 64GB ROM and 4GB RAM)
  3. Can shoot high resolution and high definition/ 4k quality pictures and videos.
  4. Should be able to handle powerful apps such as Microsoft office, video editing apps with ease.
  5. Can play high end games without noticeable lagging.
  6. Has Machine learning abilities. 
  7. Smooth and seamless operations at all times

What to look out for when purchasing a high end mobile phone.

Storage capacity of RAM

RAM stands for Random Access Memory.

 Don’t go for a phone less than 4 GB of RAM. No matter how powerful the phone’s processor is, without adequate RAM to handle the heavy apps, it will run slow and lag.

Storage capacity of ROM

As a high end phone user, you will need large amounts of data to work with. ROM stands for Read Only Memory and it refers to the inbuilt internal memory of your phone. The larger the ROM the better and more convenient you can handle large data. Don’t go for a phone less than 64GB of ROM.

Expandable storage

Expandable storage means removable storage. Maximum Capacity  of expandable storage for high-end phones are 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB in that order. 

Camera

Don’t be fooled by Megapixels. Higher megapixels does not necessarily mean better camera quality. There is more into what makes a quality phone camera than just megapixels. The only way to know a good camera phone is to read reviews. However, some high end phones were built specially to showcase its camera quality. Such phones include;  Google pixel series of phones, iPhones, Infinix Camon series of phones and the list goes on.

That said, most high end phones are fitted with high quality cameras for taking high resolution pictures and videos. 

Processor

High end mobile devices are fitted with very powerful processors. There are different types of these processors and each claiming to be superior, however, in reality, they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Ensure that the phone you want to purchase is fitted with a graphic processor as well.  Processor power although important, should not be the topmost to consider when looking for a powerful phone that suit your needs.

Olusola
Car under repair

In this fast paced modern world, cars are a necessity. The importance of cars for ease of transportation cannot be overemphasized. Cars are also good for pleasure too. However, whether your car is for business or pleasure maintenance is the key. Good maintenance of your car will ensure that you use it for several years and still have good second hand value.

 How and when you know it’s time to fix your car.

Every component of your car is very important to ensure that your driving is very safe and comfortable. Don’t ignore any warning signs your car gives. Below are some warning signs your car can give if it’s about to get a fault and need fixing

Leakages

 If you notice a leakage of oil or water  under where you park your car you should have it investigated. If it is engine oil it’s probably there is a leakage of oil from your engine. If it’s brake fluid then either there’s a leakage or malfunctioning of your break or clutch. And if it’s a water leakage then check if the radiator is not leaking.

Unpleasant sounds from the wheels

Once you notice any unpleasant sounds coming from the wheels arrangements of your car, then have it checked by a qualified personnel at your earliest convenience

Overheating

When your car overheats on the highway, then it indicates that something is wrong with the car cooling system, so have the radiator and the cooling system checked by a qualified personnel.

Burning smell of rubber while driving

Tire pressure

Make sure your tires are at the correct  and same pressure. If you notice any tire is deflated, have it fixed or you can change to the spare. Don’t drive a car without a spare tire. You will never know when you will need it. Make sure your tires are in good condition, check the wearing indicators of the tire, that way, you will know how long your tires will last or whether they need replacement soon.

Overspeeding and over revolutions

Two important indicators you find in your car are the speedometer and the  engine revolutions indicator. Always subjecting your car to very high speeds such as over all the kilometer per hour and high engine revolutions will make your engine wear out faster/ increase your maintenance costs.

Regular service every 3 months

Try to take your car for servicing every 3 months. What the mechanic will check and service will include;  the changing of the engine oil, checking of the brake pads, brake fluids,shock absorbers and other springs. That  the horns, doors and  windows are working properly. That the bonnet and boot  are working  properly. In all the mechanic should check that the car is still in fine shape and fix anything that is out of place or faulty.
