This is going to be along the lines of a ‘community post’ as I feel it is relevant right now. One of the saddest things about modern day society is the way our elderly people are often left alone and isolated in their homes. Of course, while it is much better for an elderly person to remain in their own environment for as long as possible and retain their independence, it is easy for them to slip through the ropes and end up almost forgotten.

A by-product of today’s selfish society I would say. People do not watch out for each other as they used to do; neighbours keep to themselves these days more often.  If you have an ailing elderly parent, relative or neighbour and wish to help them maintain their independence by living in their own home there is a good way to ensure they get the correct treatment should they be found unconscious or even suffer a collapse while out shopping.

Buying them a piece of jewelry in the form of medical id will ensure that any medical condition they have will be clear to paramedics or medical workers. This can be in the form of a watch, bracelet or necklace and they wont feel as though they are wearing a mere ‘tag’.  In fact, anyone of any age can wear these as a form of insurance - when you cannot tell people what is wrong in an emergency you will have all your information there on you.

One more reason to take caution when downloading

You really have to watch your kids with this one guys, especially as it involves free downloads of Grand Theft Auto IV. Computer hackers are enticing people into free downloads of bogus versions of the game via the internet.

What has been discovered is that the downloads carry ‘Trojan’ viruses which, if downloaded to your PC, can cause havoc. Games enthusiasts are going into overdrive about this particular game which has mean’t open go for these cyber-vandals.

These viruses gain ‘back door’ access to your files and steal your personal information. So avoid this like the plague and buy the game instead.

Look after those tools guys!

As we live in an agricultural area we see a wide variety of farm machinery both on properties and on the roads. The local workshop in the village does a brisk trade in fixing the various tools and tractors that break down and this is often due to the fact that, to save money, the workers hang onto old equipment.

This is not only costly but dangerous. Guys, take a good look around your workshop or factory and do an inventory on what needs replacing and if any maintenance is long overdue. Better still go for a company that specialises in selling and servicing such brands as festool.
