ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M +++++ As Zimbabweans lets live for what tomorrow has to offer, not what yesterday has already taken away. +++++ Editorial Do you own "TV pants" Do you own "TV pants" When driving, do you strongly prefer right turns over lefts Have you ever typed your birth year into an online form, then became startled when you had to scroll...and scroll...to reach that year If so, pull on those stretchy pants, have a seat, and let me know I'm not alone here. Because every day, it seems, I notice a tweak in my behavior, thoughts, or physical appearance. I buy a pair of tweezers to tuck in my purse (ladies, you know why). At the gym, I hope a young male employee considers me a healthy mother figure. My legs are not resplendent in shorts. I don't like where all this is leading. Still, I've decided not to fight these tweaks. Why bother It would be like trying to put a newborn baby back where it came from. The road of life ultimately leads in one direction and I've reached the point where my age and the highway speed limit are the same number. For now, I'm merely taking notes, such as these. Feel free to add your own. I wash my hair every other day. Every now and then after I've exited the house, I glance down at my legs to make sure I've switched out of my pajamas. I've been called ma'am for enough years to know it's not accidental. When shopping for a sympathy card, I buy two extras. I follow routines so I don't misplace my car keys. I count housecleaning as a workout. Much of what I read seems feeble or recycled. I choose a matinee over 8 p.m. Saturday every time. I use the word "thing" whenever I can't remember the real noun. Which is often. I call everyone 'sweetie' because I cannot remember their names.... My ideal night of "sleeping together" includes actual sleep. I now understand my mother. Balancing exercises are part of my routine workout. My dentist is my son's age. I have doctors (plural). Swing doors are unaccountably heavy. I wish there were recombobulation areas at the end of check-out lines. As rites of passage go, accepting that you're probably in life's final third offers less a frisson than say, becoming a new parent or mastering potty training. Some people are far cheerier about this personal transition than I am, even claiming that aging has liberated them. I suspect such folks are blessed with either better genetics or better medications than me. Last month, I found a roll of foil in the freezer. This morning, my mascara was inexplicably...oh never mind. At least I know where my car keys are. They're on the kitchen counter in that...thing.

The story has Bond impersonating a diamond smuggler to infiltrate a smuggling ring, and soon uncovering a plot by his old nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the man who had murdered Bond's new wife as they left on honeymoon. 'Connery has a ball with great stunts, snappy dialogue and a bevy of typically Bondish beauties.' [Empire Magazine, April 24, 2008] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. ($6.00) RICHARD STRAUSS: ARIADNE AUF NAXOS Friday 28 November in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. A final celebration of Richard Strauss in his 150th anniversary year comes with 'Ariadne auf Naxos'. The opera follows events at the home of the wealthiest man in Vienna, who has booked both a comedy burlesque act and a serious opera group for entertainment. When the dinner runs late, he declares that both forms of entertainment must take place at the same time - much to the chagrin of the opera's proud young composer: what happens next is uproarious, unpredictable -and ultimately sublime. 'Music elements are well in hand under Christian Thielemann...once Fleming becomes Ariadne in Act 2, her vocal and theatrical authority are unassailable. It's great to see her in a role that suits her so comprehensively in a production that fully taps into her charisma.' [Gramophone Magazine, July 2013] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) ACADEMY SHOWCASE Wednesday 3 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m. Soloists, choirs and instrumental groups together with guest performers join together for the Academy's end-of-year concert including the first performance in Zimbabwe of Olly Cox's 'We Can Fly', specially written for the Commonwealth Games. Admission; $2.00 Snacks available before and after the concert DON QUIXOTE - BALLET Friday 5 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. The ballet 'Don Quixote' was first performed at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre in 1869, produced and choreographed by Marius Petipa. Carlos Acosta, having danced in it all over the world, responded immediately when he was invited to revive the ballet for the Royal Opera House and for 21st century audiences. Whilst concerned to preserve its basic classical style, he wanted to overlay a freer more spontaneous element, injecting more colour, more humour, something of spontaneous fun and pantomime even...

Presentations are as follows:- Understanding Natural and Anthropogenic Stressors and Their Role in Regulating Ecosystem Function By Dr. Jeffrey R. Wozniakan ecosystem ecologist and for most of his career has utilized aquatic systems (primarily wetlands) as model systems to investigate how both natural and anthropogenic factors work to impact ecosystems. Biogeography and Diversity of African Strepsipterans by Dr. Jerry Cook. Current research interests of the Jerry Cook lab include taxonomy and systematics of insects. The African Strepsiptera (internal parasitic beetles of other insects) are a poorly known group due to their small size and limited time in the environment but they are actually widely distributed and diverse group. The Utility of Mammal Faunas as Paleoenvironmental Indicators by Dr. Patrick J. Lewis. Recent excavations of fossiliferous deposits from Bone Cave located in the southern most of the Koanaka Hills, northwestern Ngamiland, Botswana, have produced a diverse Pleistocene mammalian fauna. A large assemblage of micromammals were excavated consisting primarily of rodents and shrews. Our research attempted to identify these fossils to their lowest taxonomic level to better inform on the regional paleoenvironment. The fossiliferous caves of Zimbabwe provide an ideal setting to further this research. Much Ado about Gregarines..A Tale of Parasite Biodiversity by Dr. Tamara J. Cook. The septate gregarines (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) are one of the least known parasite groups. They are cosmopolitan, gut dwelling protozoans that parasitize invertebrates, reaching their greatest diversity in insects. However, despite the predicted 1 million species in the group, fewer than 1700 species have been described and no developed knowledge base exists for these extremely common parasites. Dr Cook is also investigating the degree of host specificity, host use and distribution of various gregarine genera. Systematics of the megadiverse lineage Gelechioidea (Lepidoptera) by Dr. Sybil Bucheli. Gelechioidea is a large, diverse superfamily of microlepidoptera that is difficult to characterize due to its species richness. Only recently have there been attempts at comprehensive treatments that aim to address world fauna of the entire superfamily rather than focusing on a few local families. Conducting Surveys for Small Vertebrates and their implications for Conservation and Biodiversity Studies by Dr. Monte L. Thies .General biological surveys and inventories of species occurring in an environment play a critical role in monitoring ecosystem health and understanding the causes and effects of changes in biodiversity across time and space. Using data collected from northwestern Botswana, I will discuss how inventories for small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles laid the foundation for addressing multiple questions about species composition, distribution, and change over time. Intestinal Parasites of Rodents in Botswana: Parasitic Research on the Fauna Of Africa by Linden E. Reid.A survey of biological animal diversity was carried out in the Koanaka Hills region of Botswana in the summers of 2008 and 2009. Rats of the species Micaelamysnamaquensis and Aethomyschrysophilus(Rodentia: Muridae) were collected and necropsied in the field. Parasitological analyses were carried out in the lab, helminths were extracted and preserved, and statistical and taxonomic analyses were completed. Not Enough Skeletons in the Closet by Dr. Christopher J. Bell. Documenting patterns of skeletal variation within and across taxa remains an important goal for those interested in evolutionary morphology. Despite widespread acceptance of the role of variation in shaping evolutionary dynamics, detailed studies that document patterns of skeletal variation are available for surprisingly few taxa. +++++++ ALLIANCE FRANCAISE Holiday lessons to get ready for 2015!

When he is offered to lead one of the many pirogues that head towards Europe via the Canary Island, he reluctantly accepts the job, knowing full-well the dangers that lie ahead. Leading a group of 30 men who don't all speak the same language, some of whom have never seen the sea, Baye Laye will confront many perils in order to reach the distant coasts of Europe. A profoundly moving story about hopes and dreams to be watched in family and with friends. Where: Alliance francaise garden, under the stars.

A record 20 teams from seven nations have confirmed and duly entered into the tournament which will run for nine days. The Hockey Association of Zimbabwe and the Local Organizing Committee are now ready to host the tournament. All the officials' appointments by Africa Hockey Federation (AfHF) have been concluded. The Tournament Director and Umpire's Manager are both from South Africa whilst all the Zimbabwean contingent of officials nominated have been appointed to officiate at the tournament. Ginny Ross will be the AfHF's representative, Sarah Bennett and Humphrey Chigwedere will be Technical Officers, Tafara Mukaro and Pauline Ndhlovu will be judges whilst Tapiwa Mafi, Bynn Lowe and Sharne Meyers will be umpires. All other nations are supposed to supply officials. The tournament will see 50 matches being played. Both ladies and men have been drawn into two pools with the classification matches set to be played on 30 November. Zimbabwe will be represented by BAC in the ladies whilst Eradicators and Hippo Valley will fly the flag in the men's category. All the teams are ready to take part in the tournament. +++++ South African Home Affairs takes action against child trafficking The border requirements are: - When parents travelled with a child they had to produce an unabridged birth certificate of the child reflecting the particulars of both parents; - In the case of one parent travelling with a child, in addition to producing an unabridged birth certificate, a consenting affidavit from the other parent had to be produced. - When a person travelled with a child who was not his/her biological child, they had to provide a copy of the child's unabridged birth certificate, a consenting affidavit from the parents/legal guardian, copies of the identity documents/passports of the parents/legal guardian, and their contact details. "These provisions form part of our international commitments to root out child-trafficking," +++++ RAIN CHATTER It's nearly time to start the dam & rainfall stats again. Some prelims: it looks as though we will end this year on approx 64-65% overall, which is 30% better than a year ago, so that is good news. There is also a very good chance that Insiza and Mtshabezi will spill again this season - Insiza will be on about 85% when the inflows start and 15% is not a lot of inflow in a whole season - average for a season is 40%, so even a relatively poor season will bring it to spilling or near spilling. Mtshabezi will be about 92% so should easily gain the necessary to spill. The aquifer refurbishment should also see an increase to the city from a daily average of 2000 m3/day to 6000 m3/day - not a lot in the whole scheme of things but it does take a bit of pressure off BCC's ability to maintain adequate supply/pressure in the Western Suburbs. The good thing going forward is that the three reasonably constant and reliable sources can supply about 70 000 m3/day - slightly more than 50% of our current needs and about 70% of our rationed needs in poor times - this makes for a much better scenario than that of the period 2011/12/13. There doesn't therefore seem to be any fear of water shedding for at least the next 3-4 years. We are actually better off then most large cities in Southern Africa. There speaketh the optimist! Peter Edmeades As a result of ZIMPACT's amazing growth since it's inception as well as the ever increasing demands, needs & areas of co-operation with like-minded organisations, the founding committee feels it would be prudent to establish various 'Portfolios' on the main committee (headed by a full committee member) & supported by sub-committees (which can be made up of a full committee member as well as ad-hoc volunteers from the ZIMPACT contacts database). Therefore, ZIMPACT is looking for help to develop in the following areas:- A) Education: 1. Ideally we would like to have a Zimpact representative at each of the private schools. A parent or teacher who can work with us. 2. We want to develop a campaign that can be put into all the schools nationwide on drunk and dangerous driving. This may extend to the use of other drugs. It is not necessary to have extensive knowledge of the subject but we do need to work with different organisations, gather information and present our final work in Shona, Ndebele and English. This will probably be a poster campaign so a strong visual message will be important. 3. To create a young ZIMPACT committee to discuss ideas with, to work with to create a greater awareness of drunk and dangerous driving and to drive a young cultural rejection of drunk and dangerous driving. B) Marketing: 1. Co-ordinate and design a marketing campaign that will cover newspapers, magazines, billboards, posters, radio, commercials for the cinema and editorial. 2. Work with events planning team, education team, merchandise team, social media etc to create a campaign that is cohesive, strong and dynamic. C) Events 'support' Volunteers are needed who can be contacted at the time of various events such as fairs, music festivals etc to see if they available at the time of the event to help committee members doing 'duty' time (for an hour or two) D) Technology (website, social media etc) To be the representative on the main committee who links, formulates & drives ZIMPACT'S website (content) & social media thrust. E) Event planning / PR / Press & Communication A representative is required on the main committee (who will have the support of a sub-committee) dealing with this portfolio. Additionally, further people are also required for this sub-committee due to the extensive nature of this portfolio. F) Alternative transport solutions This is one of the most critical portfolios where support is required by the main committee because whilst ZIMPACT continues to create awareness about drunk (& dangerous) driving, solutions / other options need to become available to successfully complete the change in mentality & behaviour. The other alternative transport options (to driving drunk!) are:- - Designated driver (it's your own choice & readily available!) - Pre-booked Shuttle services (ZIMPACT already endorses 3!) - 'Goodfellas/hire-a-driver' concept : being looked into - Reputable taxi service (as against pre-booked shuttle service ): being looked into G) Countrywide! The aim if ZIMPACT is to be reach all people & communities across all areas of the country so volunteers are needed in other cities to form other representative ZIMPACT committees (at the moment we are only Harare focused / represented) Colin Beattie ZIMPACT - Chairman Harare, Zimbabwe Ph/fax: 02634-776446; ++++ CITY OF BULAWAYO NOTICE FROM THE CITY OF BULAWAYO Please be advised that there are NO cases of EBOLA that have been recorded in BULAWAYO.

The response from guests staying at Khulu was phenomenal with only positive reviews being shared of their experiences at the new lodge, with headlines such as 'Fantastic Family-Run Gem,' 'A very special and personal place' and 'Simply..PERFECT, you have to be there to know this' from guests who had come from far and wide, ranging from Durban, South Africa to Isle of Man in the UK and Brussels Belgium - Khulu was a big hit within the Amalinda Collection portfolio. Sadly, just over a year later in May 2014, Khulu Ivory burnt to the ground due to an electrical fire. A tragic loss but luckily nobody was hurt. Almost immediately, the grandfather himself, Ceddy, started rebuilding his legacy and our quintessential gem, in order to revive the spirit and grandeur of this special place for future travellers to experience.
