So why, then, do Americans find it so difficult to sip from what is arguably the fountain of youth? Answers vary, but the fact is, one in 10 Americans drinks zero cups of water per day, according to a study by Dr. Alyson Goodman, a medical epidemiologist for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Zero. She suspects that those who don’t drink any water (or very little) are getting it from other sources such as food and coffee, but warns this may not be enough. “Many health risks decrease when you drink plain water,” says Goodman. Which is why, she says, the results are “mindboggling.” Robert Eakle, CEO of Alkame Water, agrees. “Without water, no living thing can survive,” he says. “It affects every area of our life and is an essential part to maintaining proper health.” However, not all waters are created equal. Enhanced waters, like Al...

During the early days of motoring there was no distinction between motor vehicles and bikes. The first engine to be named a motorcycle was designed during 1893. Around 1860 people attempted to attach the steam engines to the tricycles, but the motors were sluggish and strong. Gottlieb Daimler in Germany and Edward Butler in Britain dealt with gas engine cycles about 1880. In 1893, Hildebrand and Wolfmuller of Germany designed a motorcycle capable of running for 38 kilometers an hour. Motorcycles have quickly become common. In 1895, de Dion and Bouton of France designed a motorcycle with a thin, light-weight petrol engine.

However, a new “Relationship With Money” survey by financial services firm Edward Jones found that not only do more Americans born between 1981 and 1996 consider themselves “savers” than those in their parents’ Gen-X cohort (48 percent vs. 46 percent), but that Millennials also were better at socking away emergency funds (75 percent vs. 66 percent). That’s right. The same Millennials whose motto could be “Why buy a car when you can Uber?” “This debunks the myth that Millennials aren’t as financially focused as other generations,” says Edward Jones investment strategist Nela Richardson. And the survey isn’t some outlier. It’s supported by other research. The Federal Reserve Survey on Consumer Finances found that while Millennials are deep in debt, more than 42 percent have retirement accoun...
