“There were subjects that were taboo like environmentalism or the Wall. But all the Ostrock bands found ways of singing between the lines. “The word ‘flying’, for example, was a synonym for freedom.” Simply a mention of “Deutschland” (Germany) raised red flags due to the country’s division, keeping one Puhdys song off GDR television and the radio. With hits like “Ikarus”, “Alt wie ein Baum” (Old as a Tree) and “Geh zu ihr” (Go to Her) from the cult 1973 movie The Legend of Paul and Paula — which Chancellor Angela Merkel has called her favourite film, the Puhdys in their heyday captured the zeitgeist. Their mix of guitar-hero rock and sing-along pop also translated across borders and the group won permis- sion to perform in West Germany and even the United States, making them one of East Germany’s few successful exports. Juergen Juergens, a radio disc jockey in West Berlin who promoted Ostrock, said the Puhdys were one of the first bands to write rock songs in German. He said the bonds among musicians and with their fans were so strong because they were forged in hardship.

But then after a few years, people remembered us and thought ‘yeah, they were pretty good’,” Birr said. Later the Puhdys managed to put out relevant songs in the post-Wall years too, such as the anthem “Was bleibt” (What’s Left) and “Frei wie die Geier” (As Free as the Vultures), which critiqued greed in capitalist society. Birr said the band is still beloved — it even has a stone monument in its honour in Freiberg — because it trod a path familiar to so many east Germans. “We were never revolutionaries in the GDR, but we didn’t toe the line either,” Birr said. “We’re just normal musicians who’ve had a lot of fun.” AFP 4 PLUS | THURSDAY 6 NOVEMBER 2014 CAMPUS / MARKETPLACE Vigilance awareness week observed at SIS

But he said 90 percent of his clients Elliptigo propels injured runners are 45- to 60-year olds “who care about exercising comfortably outdoors” and can afford the equipment. Elliptigos through fresh-air workouts cost $1,800 to $3,500. Jane LeGore, a 52-year-old real estate agent in Phoenix, Arizona, was a casual runner for a decade, until hip replacement surgery. She credits the Elliptigo, which she rides four times a week, for keeping off the weight she feared regaining. “The calorie burn is between cycling and running,” LeGore said. Always a slow runner, LeGore said she often wondered what it would feel like to glide like an elite. “Now I feel like I’m running on air,” she said. “I can ride and ride and ride and I’m in better shape now than I was at 25.” Connecticut-based exercise physiolo- gist and running coach Tom Holland recommends the Elliptigo for anyone wanting an outdoor cardio workout without the weight-bearing pounding of running. “It’s safer than biking, I think, because you’re not clipped in. And because you’re standing you’re also using your postural core muscles,” said Holland, author of “Beat the Gym.” Holland rode the Elliptigo for 150 miles (241km) from Manhattan to Montauk on Long Island.

HYPER SUDOKU How to play Kakuro: The kakuro grid, unlike in sudoku, can be of any size. It has rows and columns, and dark cells like in a crossword. And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
