Morning Mirror Edition 619 - 14/1/2015


In this edition


1) Editorial

What's in a name

Why oh why did Mummy Darling name me Margaret I know it was a trendy name in days gone by, everyone in 'those days' was named after either Queen Elizabeth or her sister Princess Margaret.

But the abbreviations for Margaret are horrendous!!

Mags The only reason my e mail address is magskriel@mac.com , is that a very nice lady in California had already taken the name Maggie@mac.com!!

Maggie Who on earth would want to be called Maggie My daughter has even named her car 'Maggie the Merc' and my dear friends Rob and Ali, named their pointer bitch after me!! Maggie the Pointer Bitch!!!! Now come on ......
I even have a soup named after me!!

Other people have exotic names, I wanted to be called Anastasia as a child, as a teenager thereafter it was changed to Cassidy for some obscure reason, and for a while Jessica was popular in my life!!

People have such odd names these days: Vogue, Nirvana, Tea, Reem and PEPPA were the most bizarre baby names of 2013.
Luck, Lohan, Dallas, Pinky and Tea also appeared on list alongside Boden, Pepsi, Dior and the herb Sorrel

Now 2014 saw even more bizarre names:

Marlowe Monroe, Wyatt Isabelle, Sunday Molly, River Rose, Apollo Bowie Flynn, Summer Rain, Saint Lazslo, Buzz Michelangelo, Titan Jewell, are all names bestowed on their unfortunate offspring by filmstar parents!

Forget Paul, Rachel and Simon, today's babies are more likely to be called Bentley, Angel and Junior.

Muhammad is the most popular babies' name in England and Wales, when its three main spelling variations are counted. Amelia was the top name for girls for the third year in a row.
More than 7,400 boys were called Muhammad, Mohammed or Mohammad last year in the UK.

Harley, Bentley and Junior are now more common than Paul, Stephen or Simon.
The rise of more unusual names is indicative of a dramatic growth in the variety of children's names being used, as parents try harder to make their offspring stand out from the crowd.

Girls are most likely to have a unique name; in 2013 there were 35,000 new and different girls' names, up almost a quarter from a decade ago. For boys there were more than 27,000 different names.

As with boys' names, a shift away from more traditional choices has seen Angel and Miley move ahead of Rachel and Jennifer in the league of names, there were even three girls called Disney.

The quest for bizarre names saw television and popular culture mined for options. Game of Thrones inspired some parents, with eleven boys called Tyrion last year and six called Theon in the UK alone. Even Breaking Bad, the hit television series about dealing crystal meth, was used to create children's names, as 72 girls were called Skyler last year, the name of the lead character's wife.
Some names are only popular at the right time of year. Holly, which comes in at 33 in the annual rankings in December, similarly, Summer reached number 23 in July!

Oh well, maybe Maggie isn't such a bad name after all and thank you, Rod Stewart, for writing a song after me!!

The latest from Byo City Council - 9 Jan 2015.

DAM STATISTICS (last year's figures at approx same time in [])

Insiza Mayfair - 86.6% [54%]
Inyankuni Dam - 29.20% [ 8%]
Lower Ncema Dam - 70.54% [25%]
Umzingwane Dam - 36.05% [21%]
Upper Ncema Dam - 33.27% [ 9%]
Mtshabezi Dam - 93.68% [94%]

TOTAL OPERATIONAL DAMS - 64.08% [40.25%]

Inflow to date this season is approx 5.2 million cubic meters (5 200 Ml if
you prefer) - almost half of that has gone
into Inyankuni, which fishermen say, has risen visibly (about 400mm). This time last year, the inflow was already about 12 million cubic meters (12 000 Ml).

Not as good for sure - last season, the rain started on
Christmas Day and it basically rained for 3 weeks solid, followed by a
break of about 10 days, then rained on and off until early March. Some
people think we are going to have a reasonable season but this won't
necessarily translate into good run-off. The main plus is that we are
coming off a much better baseline this time - we started about 30% better
off. So we are only looking for about half the run-off this season to end
up in a very healthy situation - hopefully we will be blessed with this at
least. The huge positive is that two of the dams (Insiza & Mtshabezi),
which between them supply slightly more than half of our present
requirements (and two thirds in a fully rationed situation) are in
excellent condition and should finish the season in a very good state.

We'll know in about 6 weeks how we stand for the year going forward.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE OSTOMY ASSOCIATION OF ZIMBABWE
A number of ostomates met in November 2013 and made the decision to establish the Ostomy Association.
In Zimbabwe there are an estimated 2000 to 3500 persons with an intestinal stoma - an incision in the abdomen through which the waste from bowel or bladder flow into a colostomy or urostomy pouch.
The Ostomy Association can help sufferers to overcome most of the hurdles through pre and post operative counselling, visits to patients' homes and, ultimately the education of patients and family with practical self care and monitoring based on a holistic approach related to the needs of each individual i.e. to help ostomates resume quality life and enjoy social activities
To become established it is estimated the Association will need a minimum of $15,000.00 to $20,000.00 and, thereafter, to have financial support for ongoing costs of training of nurses and experienced ostomates, publicity and acquiring cost effective, long lasting, durable pouches.
How can you help If you are an ostomate, send your full name, address, contact details, type of ostomate (colostomate or urostomate) and problems being experienced to the Association at the address below, preferably by email. The assurance is given that all such personal information will be kept confidential.
If you would like to make donations, in cash or kind, in order for the Association to become fully established and placed in position of being able to help, please contact us, as detailed:

Zimbabwe - Forgotten, not Hopeless

Zimbabwe is a beautiful country. You will know that if you grew up there. If you visit today it looks fine on the surface.

But there is a hidden emergency. The economic turmoil and hyper-inflation of recent years mean that there is a huge amount of hidden suffering, a massive number of forgotten people with nothing. Pensioners with no pensions left to die in retirement homes. Massive unemployment and grinding poverty in the rural and high-density areas.

It is heartbreaking.

ZANE is enabling Zimbabweans around the world to do something about this. With a proven track record of bringing donor help directly to individuals who deserve it, ZANE enables you to bring hope and respect to the forgotten people in Zimbabwe.

Please find out more at http://www.zane-zimbabweanationalemergency.com/not_forgotten.asp
This Christmas and New Year, ZANE has produced a quiz which aims to provide a bit of light relief from the doom and gloom that so often forms the background to its work. It has 100 questions, many with a Zim twist, and has been compiled by one the top broadsheet quiz compiler in the UK. You can download the whole quiz for FREE from the ZANE website at www.zane.uk.com
