“Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease. That was the surprising result of a 2024 study examining the death certificates of nearly 9 million people in the U.S…
Of the 9 million death certificates from January 2020 to December 2022 that researchers examined, taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease out of 443 occupations. After adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity and education, roughly 1 in 100 taxi and ambulance drivers died of Alzheimer’s, compared with 1 in 60 people overall.
This pattern did not extend to other driving jobs. The researchers concluded that the key to reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s was not driving itself but continuous real-time navigation: the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change. Drivers whose jobs relied on fixed or predetermined routes, like bus drivers and aircraft pilots, didn’t seem to experience a similar advantage.
Researchers believe the association between navigation-heavy work and lower Alzheimer’s risk centers on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that governs memory and spatial navigation. It’s one of the first brain regions that Alzheimer’s damages: Problems with spatial navigation and orientation are among the earliest signs of the disease, sometimes surfacing before obvious memory loss.
In one landmark 2000 study [link above], neuroscientists compared the brains of licensed London taxi drivers with those of people who did not drive cabs. Their findings provided the first evidence via structural imaging that regions of the adult brain can measurably change under sustained navigational demand. To earn a license, London cabbies must memorize more than 25,000 streets within a 6-mile radius of Charing Cross, a challenge known as “The Knowledge” that takes three to four years…”

mit im Gepäck... Kurz vor dem #Unverpacktladen fuhr ein #Dosenlenker sein #Taxi zu ⅔ auf die Fahrradaufstellfläche vor der Ampel. Als T2 bei der Ampel war, schaute T2 eindringlich zur #Autodominanz - er schaute 'deeskalierend' weg! 2 weitere #Radfahrer kamen noch dazu und als es grün wurde, legte der #Dosentrottel einen Kavaliersstart hin ... und überholt die #Radfahrerin viel zu knapp! #Radfahreralltag #VisionZero

Gut eingekauft ging es die letzten paar Meter zum Restaurant und da ergab sich

Quốc hội vừa thông qua quy định mới về an toàn cho trẻ em khi tham gia giao thông: tài xế phải sử dụng thiết bị an toàn phù hợp cho trẻ em khi chở, **riêng taxi và xe công nghệ (ô tô kinh doanh vận tải hành khách) được miễn lắp ghế an toàn bắt buộc**. Trẻ dưới 10 tuổi và chiều cao dưới 1,35m không được ngồi cùng hàng ghế với tài xế. Quy định nhằm cân bằng giữa an toàn và thực tiễn vận hành phương tiện kinh doanh.

Stefan Ruzowitzky – „Die Hölle“ (2017)

Wien verhält sich zu Österreich, wie Berlin zu Deutschland. In der Auslandsperspektive wird es als Repräsentation des Landes angesehen, in der Provinz wiederum weiß jede:r, dass das wahre Leben woanders passiert. Die Hauptstadt ist die Hölle. Doch bei Ruzowitzky erkennen wir die Stadt nur am Dialekt. Deshalb würde der Film, ganz wie die Hölle, eigentlich überall funktionieren. Das ist ein großer Verdienst des Oscar-gekrönten Filmemachers! (ZDF, Wh)

Les taxis, c’est pratique. Mais apparemment, c’est aussi le lieu idéal pour abandonner les objets les plus improbables. Entre une boîte de Viagra, un soutien-gorge adhésif un urinoir, du lait maternel ou même un homard vivant, certains passagers semblent prendre l’oubli pour un sport national. Découvrez cette collection d’objets aussi absurdes qu’hilarants.

Sly & Robbie; The Sixties, Seventies + Eighties = Taxi; 1981 on Mango

Great collection of songs produced by Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare, whose production company and label were both called Taxi, released on Mango which was an Island Records subsidiary focused on Caribbean artists.

Great covers of Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man” and the Lennon-McCartney “I Should Have Known Better” as well as some more traditional ska and reggae classics.
