If there's a reason why this site is no longer a pleasant place to visit, it's because Keith will always be lurking around to ruin it with his idiotic political bullshit fed to him by the drug addicts and child molestors that infest the AM radio talk shows that he listens to. Keith, you're either a fucking idiot, a fucking lunatic or a fucking traitor. Possibly all three. Everyone is now well aware that your president is all three of them.
don't be tossin' him no softballs now, bill!
what is it with you two, anyway? sounds like you folks quarreled at some other site, or maybe one of the VP chatrooms.
and to be fair, i think PN getting more quiet over the years has mostly been about the old guard moving on and most of the VP development being centered on newer sites. personally i don't mind sticking around and chatting a bit, but we don't really have anyone taking the lead on that stuff like sleepy and others used to do.
i love reddit and comment a lot there, but pretty much all my convos there involve an ever-changing kaleidoscope of humanity. i kind of miss talking to a common group of people and getting to know them over time. :/
also... it's probably best to be clear on my own views, re: trump:
i thought he was a highly-amusing political candidate even as he was an utter farce upon the same. but that's also sort of the pat paulsen (and many others) territory, which is something of a grand, fine old tradition.
but as a POTUS? as a POTUS i consider him an utter, unmitigated disaster. much worse than simply being an international embarrassment, he is in fact helping drive civilisation to extinction in any number of ways. the main reason i don't tend to make all this more personal than i already do with friends and acquaintances is because i can -also- see some of the factors that contributed to his election, and can understand (to some extent) why people would genuinely believe he was the best possible choice. but that's a long, winding, complicated story that's hard to really get in to with most folks.
honestly, i think each one of us is a unique mix of genius and dumbassery. i have no doubt that loads of trump voters have far more developed life skills and talents than i do across a range of areas. yet that's not at issue, today.

I think I mentioned before that I came to PN the day after Black Tuesday and found Keith spouting his idiotic "fake news" blather in the chatbox. That just happened to coincide with the last day I took shit from fucking idiots who want to willfully destroy our country, all because they're breathtakingly stupid. We are four months into our ringside seats to this country eating itself from the inside-out, yet here's good ol' Keith, cheering from the sidelines and posting more horseshit because he has chosen to remain the same ignorant person he was when he popped his head out of his mother's hole. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being born ignorant. We all are... tabula rasa, right? But if that person wants to stay ignorant for the rest of their lives, if their inability to tell truth from fiction or shit from shinola endangers my country, myself and the people I care about, then that person can really and truly go fuck themselves.

Here's a good question for all those hardworking Joes and Joe-esses who thought it would be a good idea to have a stupid, hateful, racist conman as our president: did you ever work at a job where you needed help to complete a project that your employment depended on? If so, at what point did you think to yourself "You know the person I want to help me? That one guy two cubicles down who's a complete and utter moron. And he's a total racist, sexist dick to everyone! He's the guy that can help me save my job!" Math doesn't get any easier than adding 1+1. If you come up with "3" as your answer, then you're an idiot, plain and simple.
The New York Times did a story on the pervasiveness of painkillers and heroin in Trumpland. They talked to a farmer right there in Ohio where you live, nic. He has had two children die of drug overdoses and the only one who's left is in rehab, and I bet he doesn't last out the year... or, if he does, he'll probably be breaking into your house to steal your personal belongings and feed his addiction... but ol' Farmer Dumbass voted for Trump because "he talks tough." This incompetent fuckwit doesn't even have the basic parenting skills to keep a single one of his own children from being drug addicts, but he thinks he's a well-informed voter who knows what's best for the United States of America? This is the 21st fucking century, man! We, as a nation... as a planet!... are facing drastic changes both wonderful and catastrophic. Do we really have the time to waste cleaning up the messes left to us by people like Farmer Dumbass and Keith who weren't smart enough not to take a shit on the White House lawn?

But I'm sure that Keith is right and that Hillary Clinton is the most successful sociopath ever to walk the planet. Which , in itself, would be extraordinary because the vast majority of sociopaths are male. She has been in the public eye for some 40 years. She has been investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and if I repeat that word 30 more times it will barely touch the tip of the shitberg of what she's been through at the hands of greedy, stupid people who want to see their own faces on Faux "News". But she has never once been convicted of a single, solitary crime. She has never once been brought up on any charges. That means she's smarter than Richard Nixon, Donald Trump, Roger Ailes (please don't rest in peace) Bill O'Reilly, drug addict Rush Limbaugh and her own fucking husband. I mean, there's absolutely no comparison for her success as an evil, world-dominating villain in the real world. Hell, even Lex Luthor and Moriarty ended up getting caught! So actually, Hillary Clinton is the most successful sociopath in the real and fictional worlds. And she has never once let her mask slip in 40 years of countless public appearances to show the monster that lurks inside. Not like Donnie does on an hourly basis.
The only other possibility is that Keith is ten pounds of shit in a five-pound bag.
Allow me to quote from the man who created Professor Moriarty: When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
And this ain't even something that's improbable. It's simple common sense for people capable of being able to tie their own fucking shoelaces.

i don't disagree with all that. it sounds pretty much like common sense, common decency, basic reason and simple logic to me.
and... anger is a potent motivator, to say the least.
you know there's another (non-VP) forum i've been hanging out at for over ten years which i'm all but done with at this point. it basically got taken over by trumpets right after the election. naturally i spent some time giving it right back to them, but realised that headstrong deaf people don't make for good conversationalists. the main reason i'm done with that place is actually because all of the best posters are now gone and the discussions are utter shite anymore. trumpism definitely had a hand in that, but i think there were more factors involved.
for example-- civilisation is becoming more complicated, stressful and full of pitfalls by the day, and i think the classical human-animal response is to push it away, or willfully disbelieve, or arrange it in a way that makes it seem under control... stuff like that. intelligence combined with openness certainly helps mitigate that, but overall i think people's minds are in retreat, lest they get overwhelmed. the people at that webforums demonstrated that nicely, as do trump voters IMO.
i think most voters here (as elsewhere) are simply unqualified to responsibly vote, and trump isn't the first knucklehead president to back his rump in to office. more like, he represents the worsening of a trend probably heightened by decades of the GOP's war against science and reason, and the voters are pretty much just behaving like the human-animals that they are.
ANYway... as for PN, i really don't see coil smoke (keith?) or anyone else trying to do much politicizing here. i barely pay attention to the chatbox, but i guess i can understand your frustration with that at the time. but overall it seems to me that the few people still posting here are usually helpful towards others and/or sometimes post a fun little snippet of this or that. i don't really see the problem with any particular member or this site itself, particularly in light of the knock-down, drag-out drama that's historically gone on here. *phew*
maybe it's time to buy some dollar-store china and break out ye olde baseball bat.

LOL! Yeah, you may be right... I may be crazy. But, honestly, Trump isn't some aberration of politics gone bad like Bush was. And the people like you and me who have had so much patience for the complete and utter fuckery people like Keith and the other Trumptards have spewed forth over the years. Not only ol' dipshit Dubya who lied us into a war that left too many United States citizens dead or wounded, but the eight years of lies, filthy lies and damnable lies during the Obama Administration... and now this complete and utter mockery of everything this country has stood for since its founding. Who in their right mind thinks Donald Trump is interested in the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of anyone not named "Trump"? I think what is becoming blatantly evident is that people who can still think have finally and utterly lost their patience with the morons who can't even write a sentence to grunt out their limited and idiotic view of the world. Don't mistake my ranting here as an isolated event. I actually feel sorry for the Trumptards. This isn't going to be a fair fight, because we're just as angry as they have been for eight years... but, at the end of the day, they're really stupid.
WARNING: little bit of a philosophical rant here.
i think man's bias towards conservation of mental resources and the ultra-heavy bias towards self interest inclines us all to be stoopid in any number of ways. to go against that stuff is in fact a battle.
so you have people living in a crowded, tumultuous world who understand (correctly) that decent jobs are getting scarcer, standard of living is slipping and so forth, and *boom* you have a more desperate electorate more willing to gamble, more willing to become addicted to hopium, more willing than ever to vote for an autocrat that represents an anti-political iconoclast to them. then, the concept of "fake news" and "spin" is all too easy to use as a tool for disregarding unpalatable facts about their hopium candidate and even just disregarding the unpalatable nature of reality.
i mean, these are some mighty tasty carrots to appeal towards peoples' willful stupidity. the alternative is a much more stressful and laborious approach to understanding reality. sort of like most peoples' attitude towards global climate change-- if it's not personally affecting them, then it's someone else's problem or even just a big hoax. just some classic bias of the human-animal mind... resisting inconvenient facts.
and then add these types of voters to the classic rural distrust towards regulations / city people... as well as the righteous religious who want to dictate others choices because they can't control their own distaste for gays, abortion, minorities, etc.
i guess my point is is that we're all manipulable creatures, full of cognitive biases, who all struggle with this stuff on the regular. we all have that idiot potential, so it comes down to which of our buttons are being pressed to help us behave that way. so yeah, i think this election was more about the buttons involved than people behaving unusually.
history is a never-ending tapestry of civilisations that spun out of control and sped their own collapse. we're only the latest and greatest IMO. eating humble pie and sacrificing wealth, comfort and convenience so that we can all survive is just too much for people to handle. we're all guilty of it, even us anti-trumpers.
Yeah, that seems like a fine assessment of the pickle we find ourselves in. And while there is no precedent for a president who thinks "precedent" is spelled "president" (I wish I was joking. Boy do I wish I was joking), there is a long history of America's stupid voters. I was listening to a Great Courses lecture on Donnie's hero Andrew Jackson, a mean-spirited hateful, thin-skinned egomaniac who , to be fair, could probably spell "precedent" and wasn't a filthy coward when it was time for his country to go to war. Professor Mark Levin described what made American voters idiotic enough to elect that carnival sideshow in the 1820s:
In an era of drastic change, people will look to a past idea for reassurance. The old concept of Janus-faced, of facing in two opposite directions of walking backwards into the future.
And he said that about seven years before Donnie decided to make America Great Again. The big difference between Andrew Jackson and Donnie Trump is that the people in the 1820s didn't have to wake up every morning wondering if their precedent was going to something globally stupid that would end in a mushroom cloud. They only had to worry about whether Andrew was going to show up at their door and shoot them in person.
All I knows is that, over the weekend I read that there's moss growing at the South Pole. Moss. Growing at the South Pole. We are so fucked. We are so good and fucked. I sure hope I don't have to live through what's going to happen. I sure hope all the Trumptards do. Gonna be tough bitching and whining about Hillary's emails when your computer is sitting under six feet of water at the place where you used to have a house.
I should add that, while I agree that we do all have our failings, the two simple things we should be smart enough to handle are common sense and common decency. Those are two ingredients missing from Donald Trump's Stupid Heads Club Band.

* Even you "L.V. Pussy Fart !" *
As for politics...I ask you to look at what allegiance to the Clinton/Bush/Obama crime family and controlled media has done to you and US. They continue to fracture and fuck all of US. It's not you and me, bud! Preserving terrorism and drugs is their main scheme. Hillary Clinton is the destroyer... OFF ALL SIDES. This woman has managed to ruin anyone and every one who interacts with her. For her or against her, IT DOES NOT MATTER! This is an amazing accomplishment. So, bill...Look at the joy she has brought you!
P.S. I started this page as an APRIL FOOLS JOKE. I made it politically inert and still think that joke is. Until today, I believe I have not said anything truly political since 2 DAYS BEFORE the election. Talk about living in the past! That was OVER half a year ago. Your reaction to political humor/imagery is some thin skinned bullshit. Taking it personally grossly over inflates your perceived importance in this world and makes you look a tad unstable. And NO, I don't listen to AM radio. I have not gloated over our president's victory though thrilled by this resurgence of true patriotism. The man is donating 100% of his overseas profits to the US treasury for Christ's sake. The Main Scheme Media is acting so childish, I am amazed you take one word of it seriously. Why you take this thread so seriously makes you look like Psycho-Bill, After re-reading the above, I think you are conflicted...At Best

Well, there was this>>>
We have witnessed the end of Media controlled government. This is the first time in U.S. history our corporate controlled Media lost an election. The collusion between organized crime + centralized government + corporate controlled Media is being systematically disassembled. This peaceful revolution is happening in many countries. Brazil has impeached a corrupted president. George Soros & crew are creating the turmoil in that country, same as in the US, trying to save his sick empire.The British patriots defeated their corrupted Media and got their nation out of the E.U. while they still had a nation to protect and the E.U. collapses. This is how the old system dies and the end of that evil world order.

100 Battles That Shaped World History
Bluewood Books, 1997 - History - 112 pages
This is an interesting, useful, brief book that describes 100 battles which have shaped world history, according to its author, who teaches history at Mt. Holyoke Community College in Massachusetts. The book begins with the battle of Kadesh in 1294 BC and ends with the battle of Kuwait (better known as the Gulf War) in 1991. Each battle is described in one page, with sufficient detail to understand how the battles were waged and the importance of outcomes. The book's broad sweep of battles across the ages is its primary value to persons who wonder about how events of the past have shaped modern social structures

Dolphins lineman Richie Incognito to break silence in interview
Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito has remained quiet throughout the fiasco that led to his suspension from the team.
But he'll break the silence Sunday. Incognito sat with Fox Sports for his first interview since his involvement with a harassment case within the Miami organization was discovered, and the interview will air during FOX NFL Sunday, Jay Glazer announced on Twitter Saturday night.

Tomorrow's 1 on 1 sit down w Richie Incognito air 12 EST @NFLONFOX. I held nothing back, asked him everything. He didn't play the blame game— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) November 10, 2013
The latest allegations from tackle Jonathan Martin went mostly unanswered Saturday by the Miami Dolphins, weary of fending off questions about the case that has rocked the franchise. Martin left last week and alleges he was harassed by teammates.
Martin, who's in counseling for emotional issues, will discuss the case late next week with a special investigator hired by the NFL. Allegations by the second-year pro include a malicious physical attack by a teammate.
Players have been more vocal in their support of Incognito than Martin. It's uncertain whether either will play again in the NFL.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I now have an extensive list of on-line sources, some more useful than others, so bear with me while I try to sort them into some sort of sensible order and attach links and comments about their value to my research.
Most useful sites
- Findmypast – one of the most complete and reliably transcribed sets of records for England and Wales. Now also includes transcriptions for many Scottish records, but without associated images for Scotland. Can subscribe or pay per view.I find that the full subscription meets my needs best at I use this as my main source. Findmypast have recently opened a new site with Irish records. I have not had occasion to try it yet, but expect to need it soon.
- FreeBMD – good for a quick search of GRO details and also has pages with parish records and some census information. Useful free starting point for anyone who is new to genealogical research and trying to get a first view of family. Fairly sketchy content after the mid 1950s. New records added about once a month.
- Ancestry – good source of leads if you publish an online tree, but everything on there needs to be verified, including record transcriptions. A lot of "imaginative" content though. They also struggle to put the right counties on many UK records. I use ancestry.co.uk with an international subscription to make my tree publically available but choose to keep the master data on my PC.
- GenesReunited – can sometimes find useful leads here that are not on Ancestry. This was where I first made my tree publically available. Worth thinking about publishing a tree here if you have UK origins. However, I find that the browser and tree navigation are not very user friendly and it is fairly hopeless trying to navigate round the site on an ipad.
- ScotlandsPeople– the official site for Scottish records. I like the way they have made it possible to purchase and download BMD records. This enables a much faster and more interactive method of research than when trying to track English records. If you get the wrong one you can move on straight away rather than after a two week postal turnaround. The downside of the site is that everything is handled by purchasing credits and there is no subscription option.
- General Records Office– this is where I purchase BMD records for England & Wales. Currently £9.25 per certificate copy, so if any of you are paying more than that to order through ancestry then this is worth a try. Can prove expensive as you sometimes have to take a few guesses if it is a common name. The downside for me is that living outside the UK I have to wait a couple of weeks from order date to receipt of the document. It would be so much more efficient if they allowed purchase with download as with Scottish records.
- British Newspaper Archive– best source of historical online newspaper articles. Thousands of new pages added every day. Impressed to find that several of my local area newspapers are included, so I no longer need to spend my holidays slaving over a microfilm reader in the Alnwick or Morpeth library. Have found some fascinating and amusing articles about the villains of the family. Subscription options range from a couple of days to an annual subscription.
- The Genealogist– another subscription site. Has a better collection of non-conformist records than some of the others, so has been useful for some of my needs. Otherwise, I use it as an extra check if I have not found information elsewhere. The information is quite well presented, but I find it heavy going to navigate backwards and make small changes to search criteria. Initial search screens are a little confusing. Easy to start searching the wrong set of records.
- Family Search – a service provided by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Family Search claims to be the world's largest genealogy organization. It is free to search and does have an extensive and ever growing record collection. The user interface has improved with a recent site update, but is still not particularly user friendly. Hopeless on an ipad. Need to be patient as it throws up a lot of irrelevant matches, but it does sometimes answer a question that cannot be resolved on other on-line sites. I tend to use it as a last resort after I have searched all the other sites and found nothing.

Return Of The Race Rod
I still miss Gray Baskerville around the office, and will always remember when he pulled open a drawer and extracted a photo of roadsters racing on a wooden track on the stadium floor of the Rose Bowl before the War. It was the first time I realized how thoroughly the early guys were into it. They drove their rods on the street out of necessity, but raced them on the dry lakes, the dirt tracks, and later the dragstrips out of desire. Even Pikes Peak and the Mexican Road Race were the realm of the inspired hot rodder.
So what happened? Today's street rod guys, many of whom were yesterday's hot rodders, have risen to new levels of polish and sunk to a spectacular lack of usefulness. The most interesting thing happening in the vintage realm is the so-called rat-rod movement, and while those throwbacks may get driven, they rarely strive for performance beyond an occasional brodie.
It's time for multipurpose power to come back to its roots while taking a giant leap ahead. I asked Thom Taylor to pen my idea of the perfect modern race rod, a 'glass Model 40 on a full-tube chassis with a Gen III aluminum V-8. At maybe 2,400 pounds, imagine the violence. Fenderless rods haven't fared well with wide meats on all fours, but it's gotta work in the name of function. I picture less air conditioning and more rollcage. This could easily be a simple car that's at home at open-track day, at an autocross, at the Silver State Challenge, or even at the drags or Bonneville. I suppose it could also be driven on the street.
How 'bout it?-David Freiburger
Water-Powered Cobra
Always a master at marketing his name, Carroll Shelby has joined with the Hydrogen Car Co., a Los Angeles-based company dedicated to the pursuit of futuristic hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles, to produce a hydrogen-powered Cobra called the Hydrogen Shelby Series 1. A future where cars run on water may not be all that distant, and what would that future be like if green types couldn't point the finger at water-guzzling musclecars like the Cobra wasting precious hydrogen molecules?-Matt King
Road Racing For Money?
Whether it's road racing, drag racing, tractor pulling, or jet boats, new racing sanctioning bodies spring up all the time, usually for one of two reasons: Either a few disgruntled racers pack up their toys and leave when they can't beat the competition straight up and the organizers won't let them cheat their way to a trophy, or they figure they can make more money racing someplace else. The second reason is the motivating factor behind the creation of a new amateur road racing series called the American V-8 Super Series (AV8SS).
So what sets AV8SS apart? According to founder Dan Schlickenmeyer, the hope is to create a semiprofessional series that bridges the gap between true amateur-level competition and high-buck factory-sponsored efforts like Trans-Am and World Challenge. The angle is that, unlike other amateur racing groups such as the SCCA and NASA, "sponsors will be actively pursued and purses will be paid whenever possible," Schlickenmeyer says. That means that instead of racing purely for ego gratification, participants stand a chance to recoup a few bucks at the end of the weekend's races if they finish on the podium.
With the goal of attracting cars currently competing in amateur classes like SCCA American Sedan and NASA's American Iron series, AV8SS will be open to front-mount V-8-engined, rear-wheel-drive automobiles produced from 1964 to the present. And although the title says "American," the organizers are also encouraging eligible European makes such as BMW, Porsche 928s and Mercedes to compete. The group's first race was scheduled for Virginia International Raceway September 3-5. For more info, check out www.av8ss.com.-Matt King
Hot Rod Prediction:
The only thing more fun than racing cars is racing cars for money. Whether or not AV8SS is a success, amateur road racers can learn a good lesson from their drag racing and roundy-round counterparts who have built the strength of their sports with contingency money. Perhaps more musclecar guys will get into it.

Mario Lopez returning as solo host of Fox's 'X Factor'
Mario Lopez will be back, but Khloe Kardashian won't.
The Extra host will return for a second season as host of Fox's The X Factor, this time without last year's co-host Kardashian.
It will mark the third hosting configuration in three seasons for Simon Cowell's singing competition. Steve Jones hosted Season 1.
Lopez will join Cowell and Demi Lovato, who will be back as judges. Two other Season 2 judges, Britney Spears and L.A. Reid, are not returning to the show, which starts its third season in the fall. There have been no announcements about new judges.
"I'm looking forward to returning to The X Factor team," Lopez said in a statement accompanying the announcement. "We're coming back stronger and better than ever and I'm excited to check out all the new talent."
"I'm thrilled Mario is back for Season 3 of The X Factor," Cowell said in a statement. "Hosting a live show and keeping the judges — especially Demi — in line, is not an easy job, but Mario is a pro and we are glad he's coming back."
Separately, the show confirmed the departure of Kardashian, a first-time host. "Khloe Kardashian will not be returning to co-host The X Factor. We really enjoyed working with her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors."
Open auditions for Season 3 being Thursday in Long Island, N.Y.

Online scrapbooking application ScrapHD, which shut down on July 31st, announced today that it has been acquired by Michaels Stores, Inc.
The ScrapHD website allowed users to combine their photos with design elements from scrapbook companies such as American Crafts, Jenni Bowlin Studios and My Minds Eye to create photo books, greeting cards and posters.
"We have focused on building an application that gives scrapbookers the ability to really customize their pages and books in an online world with an application that is intuitive and easy-to-use," said Ross Petersen, President and co-founder of ScrapHD. "Michaels can take the ScrapHD technology to the millions of Americans who are interested in preserving their digital photos in a fun and creative format."
"We believe existing and future Michaels customers will love this application, featuring more than 10,000 pieces of digital creative content and an easy-to-use interface that appeals to beginners and experts alike," said Michaels CEO John Menzer. "Digital photo booking and digital scrapbooking are an important part of Michaels' strategy to continue as a world-class leader in the arts and crafts industry."
The companies indicated in the announcement that ScrapHD's website will remain closed until 2011, when it will re-launch under the banner of Michaels Stores with both free and premium content. One possible new feature for ScrapHD has already been hinted at in the acquisition announcement with the mention of customers having the ability to have their photo books delivered to their local Michaels store.

Through online forums and technical support cases, Informix users have requested the ability to limit the number of connections to IDS servers.
Available now in 11.50 IDS, the ONCONFIG parameter, LIMITNUMSESSIONS, can be used to define the maximum number of sessions that you want connected to IDS.
This ONCONFIG parameter uses the following syntax:
LIMITNUMSESSIONS maximum_number_of_sessions, print_warning
The maximum_number_of_sessions option defines the limit for the maximum number of sessions and can be set to a value in the range of 0 to 2,097,152. The value of 0 is the default and indicates that this feature is turned off.
The print_warnings option can be set to 1 or 0. When this value is set to 1, a warning message is written to the online.log when the number of sessions approaches the limit. These warning messages are not reported when the value is set to 0. The default is 0.
The limit imposed by LIMITNUMSESSIONS takes effect when the database server is shut down and restarted. It can also be started, modified or stopped dynamically by using onmode –wf or onmode –wm.
When the number of connections reaches this limit, new connection requests are rejected with the error -25571 Cannot create a user thread, until the number of connections fall below this limit. A message is reported to the online.log when this limit has been reached.
Database Server Administrators (DBSAs) are the exception to this limit. When the limit has been reached, a DBSA user will still be allowed to connect to IDS.
The following example specifies that you want a maximum of 100 sessions to connect to the server and that you would like a warning message printed to the online.log when the number of connected sessions approaches 100.

This is a promise we have pursued in surgery since 1923. With this claim in mind, we develop and market medical technology solutions such as implant systems, electrosurgery units, surgical laser systems, sterilization containers, OR lights, surgical instruments as well as individual OR solutions. And in many cases, we have set new benchmarks.More about us
For fifteen years now, our group companies have been operating under the name KLS Martin Group. We take this as an opportunity to present figures, facts and individual milestones of this period.
IPS Implants® Hand includes patient-specific reconstruction of the distal radius and forearm (radius and/or ulna). Our experts Christoph Krüger, Ines Schlenker and Johannes Winker report in an interview on the indications for which IPS Implants® Hand is suitable and the experience gained by first clinical users.
The IPS CaseDesigner® is a user-friendly tool whereby you can plan orthognathic cases intuitively, easy and fast, according to our users! The new version includes improved graphics and the ability to import 3D images of the patient among other new features.
Chandra Laxmi Hospital is situated in the densely populated area of Vaishali, Ghaziabad, Delhi where it has been providing its services to patients since 2004. Since 2019, the hospital disposes of a new modular OR making it ready for the future.
Following this year's Medica, we welcomed more than 70 sales partners from 32 countries to the 2nd International Distributor Summit in Tuttlingen on November 21, 2019.
The new operating light marLED® X could now convince the jury of a renowned design award for the third time thanks to its slimline design, the closed surface and the flow-optimized housing concept.
At WFHSS Conference, we announce a new cooperation with the Danish innovators Caretag Surgical. The cooperation brings RFID technology on surgical assets, like surgical instruments or sterilization containers.
The topic of handing over a company is on everyone's lips, especially in medium-sized businesses. Karl and Christian Leibinger, Presidents of the KLS Martin Group, also dealt with this topic. Today, Karl Leibinger can look back on a successful handover of the company.
Today we officially opened our KLS Martin WORLD North America training center at our site in Jacksonville, Florida. After a construction period of 14 months, the training center finally joins our North American campus, which previously included our marketing and sales company KLS Martin LP as well as our development and production company KLS Martin Manufacturing LLC.
After only six months of construction, the topping-out ceremony for the extension at Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik (KLM) in Mühlheim an der Donau was celebrated. The shell of all the concrete work has now been completed on schedule. With an expected investment sum of 13 million euros, the new building is the largest single investment in the company's more than 100-year history.
The first ever Level II advanced training has taken place in our KLS Martin WORLD in Tuttlingen. Participants from 11 different nations were following up their basic education from Level I and boosted their knowledge in processing of medical devices.
At the first international congress of hospital architecture (Primer Congreso internacional de arquitectura e ingeneria hospitalaria) in Lima, Peru, Markus Unger, our Head of Product Management for individual OR solutions, spoke to over 200 Architects and Project Managers about the future of modular technology in hospital construction, our individual OR solutions and the challenges in project business.
Thomas Samyn, our Director Product Management Implant Systems, spoke on this topic at an industry forum of the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Brisbane, Australia. In addition to him, other speakers from the industry gave insights into their assessment of the future challenges and opportunities for the medical technology industry in Queensland and Europe.
The KLS Martin Group is continuing its commitment to education and the customer experience with the construction of the second KLS Martin WORLD facility.
The construction work is in full swing. The project is fully on track. In our development and production company Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik (KLM) in Mühlheim an der Donau, a further production and construction building with an area of around 5,300 square metres is currently being built on three levels.
Under the motto "Fit and healthy through bits and bytes", the state government organized its fully booked annual digital@bw festival in Tuttlingen on July 19. 500 visitors were able to discover the potential of digital health applications through lectures, discussions and guided tours in various medical technology companies. We also participated in the festival and invited the visitors to experience our digital solutions for the individualization of medical technology live at our visitor center KLS Martin WORLD. Thomas Strobl, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Digitization, was also among the visitors.
Bright sunshine and 35°C in the shade. Not quite simple conditions for top sporting performance. However, our 45 runners were not impressed and faced their personal challenges.
To exchange and expand knowledge in the field of craniomaxillofacial surgery, to discuss market conditions and to gain an insight into future product developments. These were the aims of this year's training for our Latin American and Spanish distributors as well as our local colleagues.
The company Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik located in Mühlheim is regarded as one of "Germany's best training companies" in the field of medical technology. In 2019, "Deutschland Test" and the business magazine Focus-Money examined over 20,000 companies with Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik (a company of the KLS Martin Group) ranking in the highest tier for focusing on employee training.
27th ESTS Congress in DublinAt this year's Congress of the European Conference on General Thoracic Surgery in Dublin, our colleagues from the product management and sales together with our local distributor Lynton from Great Britain presented our product innovations in the fields of electrosurgery, vessel sealing and surgical laser systems.
KLS Martin Group invests in software company CADS GmbH
The KLS Martin Group has invested in its strategic partner CADS GmbH. CADS GmbH, based in Perg, Austria, develops visionary software solutions for the industry. With its comprehensive know-how in the fields of medical technology, CAD automation and additive and subtractive manufacturing, CADS GmbH can optimally support the KLS Martin Group in the future.
The colleagues from our IPS® planning office in San Sebastián, Spain, took part in the "Carrera de Empresas", a local company race, for a good cause. On a distance of 8.5 km along the three beaches of the city, they were able to secure the 77th place among 348 company groups.
Our Project Manager Tanja Mutschler introduces 20 Technical Managers from the wvib network to her project management system for simultaneous, efficient and on-schedule order processing, thus providing discussion material.
Workshops are designed to practice complex surgical situations in a safe environment and thus improve one's skills. This opportunity was used by 20 ENT medical students to improve their knowledge of mandibular reconstruction.
Our operating lights marLED® V16 and marLED® V10 are now used in the new innovative hybrid OR and intra-operative MRI at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals.
This month we traveled around the world. From the CMEF in Shanghai over the Hospitalar in São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro to the ICOMS and back to Tuttlingen. We like to remember the international congresses. If you feel the same way or were unable to attend the congresses, but would still like to gain an insight, you can do so here.
At this year's congress of the European Operating Room Nurses Association (EORNA) in The Hague, colleagues from our Dutch sales and marketing company Martin Nederland/Marned B.V , together with our local distributor Heijneman Medical and our Product Managers from Tuttlingen, presented the new products in the areas of operating lights, HF surgery and surgical instruments.
The IPS® family now includes IPS Implants® Preprosthetic. The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Hannover Medical School (MHH) has developed a functionally stable framework implant. It is manufactured using a 3D laser melting process. Since 2015, more than 25 patients have already opted for IPS Implants® Preprosthetic and can benefit from the advantages of the new immediate dental rehabilitation. The clinic's cooperation partner is the KLS Martin Group.
KLS Martin Group looks back on strong growth in 2018
At this year's International Sales Conference of the Tuttlingen-based KLS Martin Group, numerous sales managers were selected who have exceeded their annual target.
"It fills me with great pride to look back on the development of the KLS Martin Group in recent years. Since 2010 alone we have been able to more than double the worldwide turnover of the group, which is a remarkable achievement", summarises Karl Leibinger, President of the KLS Martin Group.

Free password manager and more
Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
Both 32bit and 64bit systems
724KB download
Works with Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers
Versions available for Apple and Android as well
Okay folks. We have reminded you over and over and over again not to use the same password for all the sites that require you to login. We've urged you to get a good password manager like LastPass (free) or Roboform. However, when we help people with their computers, we find that many of them do not have a password manager, and if we need to have them login to a site for us to see what the problem is, we watch them fumble around trying to login.
Anyone who still uses the same password for every log in, or who writes down their passwords on a piece of paper and keeps it near the computer, or who stores passwords on a text file on their computer, are taking a vey big risk. But by far, the biggest risk takers are those using the same password for each login and those using simple weak passwords like sally58, password, hank518, etc. Because using the same password or using weak passwords leaves you vulnerable and open to having your password stolen. And it's not a huge leap of logic to imagine that someone who has stolen your password will attempt that same password on financial sites — like your bank or PayPal. And you can imagine where that will go.
We know that many of you still don't have a password manager. Why? Maybe you don't like Roboform. Maybe you don't like LastPass. To each their own. So today we are featuring one of the new password managers that works pretty much like Roboform and LastPass, and which provides a very nicely functional free version — no bundles, no 3rd-party toolbars, nothing like that.
It's called Dashlane. We tested it during its beta (test) stage and we tested it again after it was released. And we were very impressed. It works just like Roboform and LastPass. You visit the site that requires you to login and Dashlane fills in your user name and password automatically and quickly. That's it.
Dashlane has a lot of great features – as many as the other two. So if you don't like Roboform or LastPass for some reason, we highly recommend you give Dashlane a try. You've not nothing to lose and peace of mind to gain. The important thing to us is making it clear to you how important a password manager is to your security.
Here is some information we gleaned for you from the Dashlane web site:
"…Your Dashlane password is the only one you'll ever need
Stop remembering passwords – From now on, all you'll need to remember is your Master Password, which no one — not even Dashlane — has access to. Dashlane securely saves all your logins and passwords in one private place, under your complete control.
Dashlane uses the strongest encryption there is
All the personal data you store in your Dashlane account is encrypted locally on your own devices, using AES-256, which is used by military, financial, and government institutions.
An inhospitable place for hackers
Since each user has his or her own encryption key, and the keys are not available to Dashlane, the encrypted data stored on our servers is of no value to hackers. And the keys are not stored anywhere by Dashlane.
Gauge security of your passwords
Dashlane's Security Dashboard gives you a complete report on how secure you are online, and makes it really easy to upgrade your password security across all your accounts.
Stop using the same password everywhere. Dashlane's password generator creates unique, safe passwords for you — the best way to secure your identity and data online.
Log in to your favorite sites without lifting a finger. Sign in automatically — you won't even have to remember your login information. Access your favorite websites instantly, no matter where you are. If you have multiple accounts on one site, choose which to sign in with…"
So there you go. You need a password manager now more than ever. It's just as important to your online safety as anti-virus and anti-spyware. Those of you without a password manager are taking a chance every time you spend time on the Web. There are no excuses for you not to have a password manager. Dashlane is free, it's pretty easy to figure out, and they have a very nice online forum where you can ask questions and get answers.
So don't put it off another day. If you don't have a password manager, try Dashlane. The free version offers plenty of features – the features you really need are all in the free version..
You can get more information and / or download Dashlane from the Dashlane web site.

BALTIMORE – For the first time this indoor season, the UMBC track and field team will split up in order to participate in two meets. An elite group of Retrievers whom have met high qualifying standards will travel to back to State College, Pa. for the Penn State National Invitational while the bulk of the team will head to Northern Virginia for the George Mason Patriot Games. The two-day Penn State meet kicks off on Friday, Jan. 25 and runs through Saturday with the Patriot Games taking place only on Saturday.
A trio of school record holders lead the Retrievers back to Penn State. Seniors Cameron McDearmon (Owings Mills, Md./Franklin) and Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) head the men's contingent with sophomore Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) pacing the women.
McDearmon, who set the school record in the weight throw last year at the Lafayette/Rider Winter Game with a toss of 18.83m (61'9.50"), earned his first win of the season at last week's Terrapin Invitational. The senior bested the field with a heave of 18.38m (54'7.50") and gained a spot at the IC4A meet in March.
Joining McDearmon in the throws, newcomers Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan St./Maryland) and Thor Serafenas look to improve upon season-bests set last week in Landover. Adantor recorded a new weight throw best with a distance of 15.99m (52'5.50") while Serafenas set new bests in both events.
Senior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) will represent the women in the throwing circle. The three-time indoor shot put champion currently holds the top toss in the conference (13.87m; 45'6.25") in the event and ranks third in the weight throw (15.80m; 51'10.00").
Also in the field events, senior Shioma Obemeata (New Rochelle, N.Y./Iona Prep/St. Francis) looks to break the 49-foot mark in the triple jump after leaping a career-best 48'3.25" (14.71m) at the Gotham Cup two weeks ago.
On the track, Proctor continued his hot form in the 60m hurdles last weekend, once again finishing in under eight seconds (7.99) en route to a second place finish. Two weeks ago at the Gotham Cup, the two-time America East indoor champion became the first Retriever to ever go under the eight-second mark with a new school record time of 7.89, which also ranks as the top time in the conference this season.
Leading the women, Jackson has won the 60m dash three times already this season. In addition, she broke her own school record in the event which stands at 7.42 after winning at the Penn State Relays.
Also a conference top-time holder, senior Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) returns to the Keystone State behind a season-best time of 6.88 which he set on the same Penn State track. This past weekend he earned a fourth place finish at the Terrapin Invite.
In the mid-distance, junior Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K Magnet) ranks in the top-five in the America East in the 200, 400, and 500m events already this year. Teammate Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) sits just ahead of Jones in the 200 and 400 while holding a top-20 spot in the 800m.
Reigning America East Track Athlete of the Week Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) also heads to Penn State, this after winning the 800m run in a conference-best time of 1:54.66. Junior Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) and sophomore Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) pace the women after both earning top-ten finishes in the event at the Terrapin Invite.
Heading to Northern Virginia, freshman Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany) will continue his preparation for the multi-event competition at the conference meet.
Meanwhile, freshmen Nneoma Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) and Jennifer Nelson (Plainfield, Conn./Plainfield) will feature in the circle for the Retrievers.

A begin script is a user-defined Bourne shell script that you specify in the rules file. A begin script performs tasks before the Solaris software is installed on a system. You can use begin scripts only when using custom JumpStart to install the Solaris software.
Use a begin script to perform one of the following tasks:
Creating derived profiles
Backing up files before upgrading
Do not specify something in the script that would prevent the mounting of file systems onto /a during an initial or upgrade installation. If the JumpStart program cannot mount the file systems onto /a, an error occurs and installation fails.
During the installation, output from the begin script is deposited in /tmp/begin.log. After the installation is completed, the log file is redirected to /var/sadm/system/logs/begin.log.
Ensure that root owns the begin script and that the permissions are set to 644.
You can use custom JumpStart environment variables in your begin scripts. For a list of environment variables, see Custom JumpStart Environment Variables.
Save begin scripts in the JumpStart directory.
For the Solaris 10 release, a sample JumpStart script, set_nfs4_domain, was provided on media to prevent being prompted during a JumpStart installation. This script suppressed the NFSv4 prompt during installation. This script is no longer required. Starting with the Solaris 10 10/08release, use the sysidcfg keyword, nfs4_domain that suppresses being prompted. The set_nfs4_domain script no longer works to suppress a prompt.
If you have non-global zones installed and the new nfs4_domain keyword exists in the sysidcfg file, the first boot of a non-global zone sets the domain. Otherwise, the Solaris interactive installation program comes up and you are prompted to provide a domain name before the boot process completes.
See nfs4_domain Keyword in Solaris 10 10/08 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations
A derived profile is a profile that is dynamically created by a begin script during a custom JumpStart installation. Derived profiles are needed when you cannot set up the rules file to match specific systems to a profile. For example, you might need to use derived profiles for identical system models that have different hardware components, such as systems that contain different frame buffers.
To set up a rule to use a derived profile, you must perform the following tasks:
Set the profile field to an equal sign (=) instead of a profile.
Set the begin field to a begin script that creates a derived profile that depends on the system on which you intend to install Solaris.
When a system matches a rule with the profile field equal to an equal sign (=), the begin script creates the derived profile that is used to install the Solaris software on the system.
The following is an example of a begin script that creates the same derived profile every time. You can write a begin script to create different derived profiles that depend on the evaluation of rules.
#!/bin/sh echo "install_type initial_install" > ${SI_PROFILE} echo "system_type standalone" >> ${SI_PROFILE} echo "partitioning default" >> ${SI_PROFILE} echo "cluster SUNWCprog" >> ${SI_PROFILE} echo "package SUNWman delete" >> ${SI_PROFILE} echo "package SUNWolman delete" >> ${SI_PROFILE} echo "package SUNWxwman delete" >> ${SI_PROFILE}
In the example, the begin script must use the SI_PROFILE environment variable for the name of the derived profile, which is set to /tmp/install.input by default.
If a begin script is used to create a derived profile, ensure the script does not have any errors. A derived profile is not verified by the check script because derived profiles are not created until the execution of the begin script.

For me, my Zaurus was and still is my only computer, so I am always using it, but have been busy with other things with my life.
But my web server started charging for my previously free Zaurus site, and I could not bear to let all that work go down the drain, so I upgraded to a paid status and have been busy sprucing things up there.
It's cool that you've got a zaurus site setup. I just went there, and read your blog
about the battery issues you had. I've been using my 6000 a lot lately, but I have
not yet dug through my CDs, looking for the software I accumulated when the 6000
was popular. I hope to find and try out pdaxqtrom, as I miss the X11 environment.
I never found a 100% working and reliable OS other than the stock ROM. It's really
too bad the power management issues were never fully ironed out in the native
pdaxrom, but oh well.
It also surprises me that the Z(s) are your only computer. I don't think my old
eyes could bear that screen for everything, and I also enjoy the power of
youtube (flash video), which will never happen on the Z.
Anyway, I look forward to checking out your site(s) in more detail later...

Although my Z does not get too much use, I think the Z can do most things that the ipod Touch/android devices can do...like play music, movies, set alarms, web surf, etc... but the thing holding it back from everyday use is the lack of a touch-screen style "mode"...something where you do not "need" a stylus.
Funny thing is that the screen does respond fairly well to touches (at least for simple clicks) but most apps are designed to maximize the screen by making things smaller (buttons, menus) and thus requiring a stylus.
Don't get me wrong, using a stylus and having lots of info on the screen is great, but for things like alarms, and other very basic tasks, I wish the fonts/buttons were large enough to make the stylus unnecessary.
Too bad there's no Android "Super-Lite" mode we could use... because for me (and others I would guess) that would make the device find it way into many of my everyday tasks.
... 13 semi-regulars and counting ....

Shout-Out ;-)
Now with winter approaching this is the time for Zaurus and other hobbyist things. Last week i could make my C3200 cooperate with WPA WiFi Router, jippy, now i can use webradio in my sleeping room! During such works i often use OESF for help on specific topics; many of my searches in Google end here. And often i'm not here as registrated user but as guest. I log in every 1-2 weeks to check for news.

Hi Guys,
I have been reading your posts, yes the stylus and screen can be a pain, but I have learned to live with them.
Actually, though, my collie now serves as a backup running things the tosa does not do well, and I spend most of my time on the Tosa sl6000. Finally got an external USB keyboard and that makes it possible to type more comfortably while the Tosa sits in the docking station plugged in to wall power.
Were Sharp to make a replacement, I am betting they would not improve on the Zaurus' Achilles heel - it's very easily broken power connector in the bottom corner. Some of you have seen my blog posts about that. To say the Tosa is more rugged was a bunch of baloney - it's connector whacked out after 3 months, the one on my collie didn't get whacky for 3 years!
It apparently did not dawn on them that users might hold their Zaurii in their laps while the AC/DC was plugged in. I very seriously doubt they tested for stress on the connector.

Carrie Fisher's hit stage production "Wishful Drinking" is heading to HBO this December as a feature-length documentary.
The stage show that forms the basis of the film is made up of headlines and history from Carrie's life, which she has humorously been sharing with audiences since 2006, and was taped for the cable network on June 25. Among the topics covered in the project include the headline-spawning break-up of her parents in the late 1950's, when her dad, singer Eddie Fisher, left her mother, America's screen sweetheart Debbie Reynolds, for Elizabeth Taylor, Carrie's infamous "Star Wars" bun hairdo and her struggles with mental health issues.

"A lot of the stuff I talk about, when the things happened at the time, I was too ashamed to talk about. So there's a great relief in being able to just own this and have it be something that happened and that I learned from and wasn't defeated by," Carrie told journalists at the Television Critics Association Summer Session on Saturday. "If I can do that — and some of the stuff was really hard — then anybody can [do it]."
Carrie, who also turned the stage show into her 2008 best-selling memoir of the same name, said one of the reasons she first wanted to share the stories and address the headlines was to put her stamp on them.

"What I realized was, when I got sober, overdosed, went to a mental hospital, all these things, it went in the paper. And my thing was, 'Well, wait a second, if it's gonna be out there, please let my version be in it,'" she said. "Also, there is the saying, 'You're only as sick as your secrets.'… If you can claim it, it has very little power over you."
The author and actress said her mother Debbie – who was interviewed for the HBO documentary – saw the stage show and enjoyed seeing her daughter in that type of forum.
"My mom is like any mother. She's actually glad that I'm doing this kind of show 'cause she thinks it's kind of like a nightclub, so I can finally understand her. My rebellion all my life was not doing a nightclub act. Not drugs, all that other stuff was fine, but the nightclub act thing, she's happy about that," Carrie explained.

When asked if she thinks her mother is over the Eddie-Liz scandal, which created a firestorm of headlines and derailed her father's career, Carrie said she is.
"God, I hope so. It is 51 or 52 years ago. Yeah, oh absolutely she does. She has a joke she says, which is, 'The last time I saw him, he went out to get some cigarettes and he hasn't come back since and, I said, 'Where did you go? Down the Nile?'' It's not like she's oblivious to the humor in the situation."

As for her own armor for scandals, Carrie said she too has moved on from a number of hard times in her past.
"I'm at a place in my life where, having gone through a lot of the things that I've gone through, I now feel not invincible, but not 'vincible,'" she said.

Health & Relationships
Using some form of contraception is the most reliable way to prevent unplanned pregnancies. If you're sexually active, condoms can help to protect you from infections that you can get if you're having unprotected sex.
The basics of contraception
Are you thinking about having sex for the first time, or have you been sexually active for a while? Whatever your situation is, it's vital that you've got all the information about contraception you need.
You must use condoms to protect yourself from infections that can spread through unprotected sex. These are called sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Types of contraception
There are many types of contraception available for both men and women. Some that you may have heard of include:
- condoms
- the pill
- long acting methods – implants or injections
- IUDs
Contraception is very effective at preventing pregnancy but needs to be used correctly to work! That's why it's very important that you find the method that suits you. But whichever method of contraception you choose, everyone needs to use condoms to protect against STDs.
Contraception and condoms are free from your GP, family planning clinics or young people's contraceptive services. You can also buy condoms from pharmacies and supermarkets.
Remember that it's against the law for people under the age of 16 to have sex. However, you can still get confidential contraceptive advice from a doctor or nurse if you're below this age.
Drug problems
Are you worried about your own drug taking? Do you know someone who is abusing or misusing drugs? If you're concerned about drugs, it's good to know the facts about how they can affect you physically and mentally.
Why take drugs?
Drug users don't start using drugs to become addicted on purpose. But with many drugs containing substances that are addictive, people who use them casually in their spare time can then become regular users.
Reasons why people start using drugs can include:
- to escape problems they may be having in other parts of their life
- peer pressure and fitting in with another group of people
- being curious about the effects of drugs
Becoming dependent on drugs can affect your family and friends. It can also have a serious impact on your own physical and mental well-being.
Drug overdoses can be fatal, and you can die instantly from misusing drugs that you can buy over the counter. This includes things like aerosols, glues and other solvents
Don't feel under pressure to try drugs if you don't want to. Because the effects of drugs can be much greater in crowded and busy places, don't take anything if you're surrounded by large numbers of people.
Signs of drug abuse and misuse
There is not a common list of symptoms that you can use to tell if you or someone you know is misusing drugs. That's because drug use affects different people in different ways depending on the type of drugs they're using.
Anxiety and changing sleeping habits can also be signs of drug use. However, these symptoms can also be caused by changes in your body, stress or other problems.
Smoking and giving up
We all know the damage smoking does, but it's still a big habit in South Africa. But if you want to give up, there's lots of help available.
The law on buying and selling tobacco
It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 in South Africa to be sold cigarettes (or other products like roll-up tobacco and cigars) over the counter or at a vending machine.
This is to try to stop people starting to smoke as teenagers. It's been estimated that people who start smoking at 15 are three times more likely to die from cancer than someone who starts in their twenties.
Smoking in public places
It's now against the law to smoke in almost every enclosed public space in South Africa. This includes:
- cafes and restaurants
- shopping centres
- railway stations
Why start smoking?
Even though we all know about the health risks connected to smoking, thousands of people decide to start every year – and a large number of adults who carry on smoking say that they started when they were under 16.
You may be pressured into starting by some of your friends, you may want to copy older relatives who smoke or you may just be curious about what it's like. Whatever sort of pressure you're put under, it's a lot easier to say no than taking up the habit and trying to give up after years of regular smoking.
It also costs a lot of money. If you get through ten cigarettes a day, it costs over R5500 every year. Think of all the stuff you could buy with that money!
The health risks
People who smoke regularly are more likely to develop certain illnesses when they get older. These include lung cancer, heart disease and emphysema. It can also reduce fertility.
Although nicotine is the thing that makes cigarettes addictive, it's the other chemicals that damage your health.
There are also other physical effects of smoking that happen no matter how old you are, including:
- damaged taste-buds
- ageing of the skin
- stained teeth
- smelly clothes
Although not killers, they're not exactly pleasant.
Keeping fit
There are lots of ways to improve your fitness without having to join a gym. Joining a local sports team is a great way to spend your spare time and keep fit. You also get to meet lots of new people.
The benefits of getting fit
By keeping physically active, you're making sure that your joints and body organs are kept in good working order. Exercise can also help maintain your weight at a healthy level and can protect you against catching coughs and colds on a regular basis.
You'll also feel an increase in your energy level and brain activity. Knowing that you're looking and feeling good can also give your self-confidence a real boost.
How much exercise do you need?
If you're under 18, you should try to do a total of 60 minutes of physical activity every day. You don't have to do it all in one go, but in chunks of at least 10-15 minutes throughout the day. This includes everything from pumping iron in the gym to walking up stairs instead of taking the lift. The key thing is that the activity should increase your heart rate and make you feel warmer.
If you're over 18, aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week.
A good idea is to try out a whole range of physical activities to see which ones you enjoy the most. Once you've decided the sorts of exercise you enjoy, you can plan what type of exercise you're going to do and when.
Before you start
If you've decided to start an exercise routine, it's important to go and see your doctor for an examination. Your doctor will be able to let you know how much exercise you should be doing to begin with.
They'll also let you know if you have any medical conditions like back pain that can limit the type of exercise you do.
Fitness for free
Getting fit isn't all about gyms. Some forms of exercise won't cost you a penny and most types can easily be slotted into a busy lifestyle.
Think about:
- cycling or walking to school, college or work instead of driving or taking the bus
- running around the block a few times a week can improve your fitness level and you'll soon find yourself running quicker and further
- checking out the leisure facilities provided by your local authority; many have basketball hoops, tennis courts and football pitches that you can use free of charge
Team sports
Getting fit isn't just something you have to do by yourself. Playing team sports like football, hockey or netball is great exercise, but is often more enjoyable because you're with a group of friends.
Your school, college or university may run sessions in the evening, or you might want to get involved with a local team. You can find details of local clubs on the internet, in the phone book or at your nearest leisure centre. Your local authority can also give you information of sporting activities in your area.
