Cicero +++++ To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark. - Victor Hugo - ++++++ Each person leaves a legacy - a single, small piece of herself, which makes richer each individual life and the collective life of humanity as a whole. - John Nichols - +++++ Editorial THE CHARGE OF THE CABLE BRIGADE! Our lives are so very different with the advent of the various mobile apparati that we are all now so totally used to. Apart from the obvious, one real downside is that now our entire lives are revolved around 'charging'. Charging the phone, charging the iPod, charging the charger that charges!! I sometimes feel I am going to drown in a sea of charging cables !! Unless one is meticulous, one inevitably gets all ones cables in a mess, and one ends up searching endlessly for the correct cable. HeeHoo is an expert in all things 'chargeable' Cameras, GPS, iPads, iPods, phones, Bose music centers, all of them require a charger and all of them are different. Now when women rule the world, all chargers will be uniform, one charger fits all, that will be the first rule that I will make!! HeeHoo has boxes of cables, bags of cables, all neatly annotated and marked and married to their mate, but somehow... There are so many cables in the world, but never enough, when one visits an international airport; there are banks of charging facilities on offer for every single type of charger, cable and every conceivable adaptor from every country! Great purple columns emitting eerie lights festoon the Dubai lounges, and everyone sits glued two feet away on the phone, iPad or iPod totally mesmerised. I can just imagine all those electromagnetic currents affecting our brains, no wonder my brain is fried living with the Gadget King - HeeHoo Must be Obeyed Instantly!! If one sees a group of people in a mall, what exactly are they gathered around, why free charging ports of course ! Of course our life in Zim is all the more fraught thanks to ZESA !! Yes, no power for hours on end makes charging all the more poignant and super necessary !!!! There are so many cables in our house that one-day the floor will collapse and we will fall smack into the gigantic termite nest that every Bulawayo house is perched upon!! 'I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.' - Dr. Seuss - 'Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom' Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela's unwavering courage, forgiveness and hope touched and inspired people all around the world. He showed that the dream of a just society is possible and he challenged our generation to lead the way towards it. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. - Nelson Mandela - We pay tribute to a Great Man. +++++ 2) NOTICES AND EVENTS CHRISTMAS LUNCH ON MONDAY 23RD DECEMBER AT ALOE GARDENS, FROM 12 NOON, A RELAXING FESTIVE FAMILY DAY WITH MUSIC BY GARY STANLEY.

About an African dream that began with a murder . . . In 1978, in the final, bloodiest phase of the Rhodesian civil war, eleven-year-old Lauren St John moves with her family to Rainbow's End, a wild, beautiful farm and game reserve set on the banks of a slow flowing river. The house has been the scene of a horrific attack by guerrillas, and when Lauren's family settles there, a chain of events is set in motion that will change her life irrevocably. Rainbow's End captures the overwhelming beauty and extraordinary danger of life in the African bush. Lauren's childhood reads like a girl's own adventure story. At the height of the war, Lauren rides through the wilderness on her horse, Morning Star, encountering lions, crocodiles, snakes, vicious ostriches, and mad cows. Many of the animals are pets, including Miss Piggy and Bacon and an elegant giraffe named Jenny. The constant threat of ruthless guerrillas prowling the land underscores everything, making each day more dangerous, vivid, and prized than the last. The book is $20.00 and entire proceeds are being donated to The Haven in Bulawayo, under the auspices of Morning Mirror and the generous author Lauren St John. email magskriel@mac.com Proceeds to a worthwhile charity. ++++ We are aware of a press report stating it will now be mandatory for all vehicles to carry vehicle litter bins and that a $15 fine will be imposed if found not to have one. The reporting was inaccurate insofar that EMA have introduced a rule that all commuter vehicles, ie taxis, buses will have to carry vehicle litter bags and can be fined in the absence of such bags. It does not apply to private vehicles at this stage. Vehicle litter bags were introduced by Environment Africa as part of the Clean up Zimbabwe and Keep it Clean campaigns to address the ongoing problem of people throwing litter out vehicle windows. ++++++ 8) Guardian Angels, Donations and Wish Lists GUARDIAN ANGELS OF EDITH DULY NURSING HOME THIS WEEK:- GEES FRUIT & VEG KERSHELMAR LOSCON DAVE SMALL LOBELS BREAD LOBELS BISCUITS SONDELANI FARM +++++ 9) HARARE AND GWERU NEWS ++++++ 10) WINING, DINING AND COFFEE HOUSES 'PICCOLA ROMA' THE ITALIAN ART OF GOOD EATING ITALIAN RESTAURANT, PIZZA PARLOR & COFFEE SHOP TELEPHONE :- 09-231246 ASCOT OPEN FOR LATE BREAKFAST AND LIGHT MEALS, LUNCH AND DINNER.
