1) Editorial

Technology by Katherine Ardizzone in Perth

My husband has always loved technology. If something was digital, he wanted it. Radios, cameras, watches. Especially watches. He loved watches that didn't need winding up. He loved watches that had a little calculator at the bottom, or had a lot of functions such as a stopwatch or a calendar or one that could tell you the time in Reykjavik or Turkistan. And when you consider that he has, during my 50 years of knowing him, never, ever, ever been on time for anything, it seemed to be a strange hobby. Because for him Time is an unknown country where not only minutes and hours are strangers but also days and occasionally months come as a bit of a shock.

But evidently the makers of watches have run out of ideas, technologically speaking. There doesn't appear to be anything really new. Oh certainly, you can now dive to 200 metres with your watch on or have a musical ringtone to remind you of an appointment. But it doesn't seem to be of much use to a non-swimmer or a habitual latecomer.

So to go to the next level of technological excellence one needs - I know, a mobile phone! Not just a mobile phone that can be used to make calls and answer them. He's had one of those - well several, if the truth be told. And they have always come to a violent end. And even with these very simple devices he never could quite work out how to use them because that would entail reading the manual or even listening to me reading the manual. So I learnt all about his various phones and would be able to find out who called him during the day, and where the photo he took was, and how to send an SMS etc.

But I drew the line at the HTC Sensation! A brand new, better than Iphone piece of equipment which is driving him crazy. He bought it in the Telstra Shop from a young lady called Kristy, or maybe it was Kirsty. And for the first week or two he returned every day because he couldn't do this or he couldn't do that with the phone. She was patient. I have to give her that. Especially when he took the phone in because he couldn't use it having locked it in the Aeroplane Mode and couldn't unlock it. He had thought that by doing that he would be able to hear the cabin crew of planes flying overhead! But now, even though the visits are perhaps only once a fortnight, Kirsty or is it Kristy, is usually very busy out the back of the shop and so he has to make do with probably the newest member of the staff.

At last count he has over 800 messages which he has not answered, a contact list of at least 100 'unknowns', a photo gallery filled with many pictures of blank walls and the inside of pockets, interspersed with people of whom he has no knowledge. But he is persistent. Rather than check the manual on the computer - which he also doesn't know how to use, he goes and makes a regular pilgrimage to see Kirsty - or is it Kristy at the Telstra Shop. I think she's left.

PAB AND THE ACADEMY

SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS
Thursday 13 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows", directed by Guy Ritchie, is the sequel to the 2009 Sherlock Holmes, with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law reprising their roles as Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson as they take on their nemesis, Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris) with the help of Holmes' older brother Mycroft (Stephen Fry) and a mysterious gypsy named Sim (Noomi Rapace). "It's such rollicking good fun - particularly the climax, set above a waterfall in the Swiss Alps. With its cross-dressing lead, hissable villain and oodles of double entendre, the film is the closest action cinema has ever come to pantomime - and that's meant as a sincere compliment!" (Daily Telegraph) Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]

LA CHAUVE-SOURIS [BALLET BASED ON 'DIE FLEDERMAUS']
Friday 14 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
"La Chauve-souris" ("The Bat") is a cheerful ballet spectacle with dance of every kind to the brilliant music of Johann Strauss II: classical, waltz, clownish pantomime, spicy Hungarian, a nightclub scene with dancing waiters and a cancan line, and of course the finale features a gorgeous Viennese waltz. "It is a masterpiece that gives Petit - a wizard of stagecraft well-versed in all forms of entertainment, including musicals and revues in addition to ballet - a chance to give it everything he's got, a lovely ballet that will have you in an elegantly happy mood from the instant the curtain goes up.' Supper available during the interval. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND CAROLS FROM KING'S
Thursday 20 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
This classic BBC production of "A Christmas Carol" makes a final contribution to the Dickens bicentenary year and stars Michael Horden, and John Le Mesurier. It will be followed by a complete service of Nine Lessons and Carols from King's College, Cambridge, an essential Christmas tradition for families all over the world, which includes many favourites such as Once in Royal David's City, O Little Town of Bethlehem, In the bleak Mid-Winter, I Wonder as I Wander,Silent Night and Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Admission: $3.00

MASSENET: CENDRILLON [CINDERELLA]
Friday 21 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
The Royal Opera House presents its first ever production of Massenet's "Cendrillon" in a staging by French director Laurent Pelly with an all-star cast including Joyce DiDonato and Alice Coote. Massenet's score stays true to Perrault's well-known Cinderella story and includes a coloratura soprano fairy-godmother, and some ravishing duets for Cendrillon and her prince. Supper available during the interval. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

A CHRISTMAS CAROL / J.STRAUSS II: THE GYPSY BARON
Monday 31 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
A double bill for new Year's Eve of the Northern Ballet Theatre's "A Christmas Carol" and Johann Strauss II's "The Gypsy Baron", a sumptuous film shot in Hungary. "A Christmas Carol" was adapted as a dance drama in three acts by Christopher Gable the story is told by the Northern Ballet Theatre with great ebullience and vivacity, and it is laced with Christmas music, sung as well as played. This film version of "The Gypsy Baron" is just fantastic. There is never a dull moment, it simply flies by, and, lovingly photographed, it looks beautiful, both the countryside and Vienna. Musically, it is just as striking with orchestral playing lively and lush by turns and a stellar cast... I recommend it with no hesitation. 10/10. " Bethany Cox, Classics on Line. Admission: $3.00. A three-course dinner will be available but must be ordered in advance.

Paddy Vickery 29/11/1926 - 06/12/2012

Hi Mags,

I remember you published an article sometime ago where you mentioned my Mom, Paddy Vickery. I sadly have to report that she passed away peacefully on Thursday 6th December at about 0630, in her sleep. She was living in Surbiton in Surrey UK, after leaving Zimbabwe about 10 years ago. She had just celebrated her 86th Birthday on the 29th November and had been in reasonable health right up to the end. Fortunately my wife Barbara and I had gone over for her Birthday and she joined as at a Restaurant for a Birthday Curry which was one of her favourite meals. My eldest brother Bill was with my wife and I the afternoon before she passed away and she was happy to have us all there with her. It came to us as a shock that she left us the next morning but we do know that she died happy and with dignity.

"I hate Christmas, it makes me feel so lonely," says one pensioner.

The collection of Christmas goods from supermarkets for distribution to pensioners has been a great success. BHN would like to thank the Bulawayo community for their generosity in filling the bins and the following supermarkets for hosting our Christmas bins: Hillside Bonsa, Greenvale, TM Bradfield, Bellvue Spar, Solomons and Trade Power. The goods are already being distributed to needy individuals in private homes well in time for Christmas.

In addition, the collection of loose change to "feed the hungry mouths" at these and other venues has so far collected in excess of $600 which will be used to purchase further goods for pensioners.

There is a understandably some confusion in the Bulawayo community regarding the roles of SOAP and BHN in relation to pensioners. SOAP distributes monthly parcels to pensioners in their own homes and flats. BHN's core business is rental support in the retirement homes and this has not changed. However, the current economic situation continues to deteriorate and there is a growing need among pensioners for all manner of things: rents, utility bills, groceries, and medical needs. Each of the various charities dedicated to supporting pensioners tries to fill a specific need, though the task is overwhelming and we sometimes overlap. Thanks again to you all for your ongoing and generous support for this work.

The Sean Labuscagne Trust
FIGHTING BACK FOR JOHN OSWALD

In October 2012, John Oswald was diagnosed with brain cancer and skin cancer although it was the brain cancer in particular which had doctors extremely worried. Nothing could be done in Zimbabwe and he was rushed to South Africa for surgery. The good news is that they managed to remove the worst of it without incident and are treating the remaining tumours with radiotherapy. John has medical aid but the brain surgery and subsequent ICU bills have already consumed their limit and there is a fast growing shortfall which needs to addressed. Preliminary forecast of funds still required is $20,000.

The Sean Labuscagne Trust is holding a trio of events to financially assist John and his Family. The first function is a beer fest which aims to raise, not only funds, but also Christmas cheer.

DATE: FRIDAY 14TH DECEMBER
MUSIC THROUGH THE AGES BEERFEST Place: Bulawayo Country Club Polo X club

Christmas is around the corner and we are hosting a Xmas Tree Party for the adult residents who live at Sir Humphrey Gibbs home for the Intellectually Challenged on 15th December.

We are looking for donations of cash, food and beverages or person to help on the day.

Please can you phone 077 2244855 or email dorismay1961@yahoo.com

This day is very special to them and any support of any kind is greatly appreciated.

Re-Carpeting of Museum Geology Gallery
The bottom Geology Gallery at the Natural History Museum will be closed from 10th - 14th December as we will be laying the new carpet in this gallery. Once again thank you to Gavin Robinson for spearheading this initiative and all the companies and individuals that have contributed so generously to this cause. We still require $4000 to re-carpet the top gallery so any donations to this worthwhile cause will be much appreciated. We apologise for any inconvenience the closing of this gallery will cause and invite you all into the museum afterwards to see the new look.

Embizeni Lodges
are situated in the Umzingwane Communal Lands, in the Diana Pools protected area, 70 Kms South of Bulawayo, on the Eastern outskirts of the Matobo Hills.

The two thatched rondavels each consist of two bedrooms, kitchen, loft, indoor shower and toilet. Outside are a large verandah and a braai stand. Please bring your own wood or charcoal for the braai. The rondavels are self catering. As there is no ZESA in the area, we have installed solar lighting, a solar geyser and a gas fridge and four-burner stove top, but no oven.
Linen, towels, pots, cutlery and crockery are provided.
A perennial stream runs through the protected area into a natural pool which is great for swimming. Along the stream are some sandy beaches which are wonderful for little kids as the water is shallow there. The scenery is stunning with picturesque rock outcrops, rapids, trees, caves with rock paintings and historical Lozwi grainbins, and not to forget the famous Orbicular Granite site.
Unfortunately there is no game but there is a nice variety of birds.

Fees are as follows:
One rondavel, up to 4 guests: $ 50 per night per rondavel Extra mattress in the loft (max. 2 per rondavel): $ 5 per mattress Max capacity: 12 guests total.

MLC Career Guidance

With the closure of schools upon us and a brand new year ahead, I thought to remind parents of our services offered to students from Form Two to Upper Six. If your child is unsure about which subjects to choose for Ordinary Level next year, or has no way forward regarding a career after leaving school, I am here to help.

I can give guidance to your child in identifying their personal skills and qualities and offer various personality tests on a one-on-one basis. I do research on their behalf on careers they may be interested in, including the best Universities, qualifications needed, etc. This is done in a quiet and secure environment.

We cannot afford to lose a generation of workers. Let me help them make the right choice. References are available on request. Please call Celine on 68439 or e-mail me celine@mlc.co.zw MLC Careers Guidance is a division of MLC Accountants & Company Secretaries and MLC Corporate Recruitment

TEL ONE ADSL BROADBAND
Tel One recently introduced a new prepaid billing system which will enable our valued customers to monitor data consumption. The system allows customers to pay for data in advance every month or when the need arises (after exhausting their data cap).

During the transition period most of our customers were disconnected before the 30 day validity period. This matter since been rectified and Tel One sincerely apologises to all our valued customers for any inconveniences caused. Customers satisfaction is our number one priority at Tel One. We have therefore taken the liberty to explain some questions frequently asked by most of our customers to understand the new billing system and Tel One ADSL packages better. HOW DO I ACCESS MY ADSL ACCOUNT TO MONITOR DATA CONSUMPTION?
Log on to our website www.telone.co.zw and click online enquiries. You will be directed to the ADSL web portal and follow instructions given.
For logging on to the web portal use your phone number @ comone.co.zw, e.g. 706090@comone.co.zw . For your password contact your nearest customer services centre.

I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY CONSUMPTION BUT MY DATA CAP HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED BEFORE THE 30 DAY VALIDITY PERIOD. WHY IS THIS SO? Tel One introduced a new billing system which allows the customer to monitor usage. The new billing system adheres to the stipulated caps and will automatically disconnect the consumer as soon as their data cap is exhausted. The subscription expires after a month and when you recharge for the next month, the remaining balance will be forfeited hence there is need to ensure that you use up your entire cap before it expires.

SO DOES THIS MEAN THAT TEL?ONE WAS NOT MEASURING USAGE BEFORE? Yes, hence the introduction of the new billing system.
