I fear our neighbours must be finding it very hard to love us these days.... We have been model neighbours for the last forty years, never have barking dogs, seldom have rowdy parties (well maybe sometimes!!) We do not hoot boisterously at the gate, we keep our verge beautifully tidy, and we take cakes to newcomers in the neighbourhood. However.... HeeHoo decided he could not live without fibre-optic Wi-Fi and the wheels have fallen off as far as neighbourliness goes!! The LiquidTelecom folk have been most professional - advising us every step of the way - keeping us posted with all developments to a point of distraction. Their advance preparation has been faultless, advising the neighbours of the proposed disruption, theodolite surveys, manual surveys, every minute detail has been carefully planned. They even consulted our local ward councilor and chose ditch diggers from our suburb, which is a brilliant labour manoeuvre. The ditch diggers were cheerful, very liberal with their mud during the rains, and took up residence in my beautiful gazebo during a particularly venomous thunderstorm, much to my horror!! We watched in apprehension as they picked and dug vigorously through the neatly paved driveways of our neighbours all along the block. We watched in horror as they toiled their way through people's lawns and flowerbeds. We thought how absolutely irritated we would be if someone did the same to us!!! But after all this is in the name of progress is it not We flinched inwardly as the neighbours had to park their cars in the road for a short period, but true to their promise, LiquidTelecom promised faithfully to restore each transgression carefully to its former glory. But as careful as they were they had their share of mishaps. Firstly putting a pick through our borehole pipe which caused a suitable amount of mayhem, and no sooner had they mended that very expertly, when another energetic ditch digger put his pick through the municipal water main!! This caused an even greater fountain of water which gushed out like a geyser and the transgressor was tasked with keeping his foot on the gusher. They phoned the Municipality immediately, but sadly the emergency water team had knocked off for the day and no help was at hand. Now the water level was rising rapidly and a giant swimming pool was emerging, all the time a river of water was gushing down the road. It was an awful few hours as we all know how precious water is in Bulawayo....The erstwhile ditch digger reminded me of the little Dutch Boy and the Dyke, except he had his whole leg now stuffed into the burgeoning leak!! Eventually they sorted out the problem with a little bit of 'African Engineering' which comprised the use of a giant rock and then they turned off the neighbourhood water!! Our faces were well and truly red by this time, as we had not only excavated through our neighbour's front gardens, but we had now successfully cut off the weekend's water supply!! Thank you to our long suffering neighbours, please feel free to camp on the verge and use our Wi-Fi whenever you need to!!! ++++ 2) EVENTS Old Miltonians presents "RAWHIDE" A country and Western evening on Friday 27th February 2015 from 6:00pm onwards.

Norval Creator of Power to Emerge Series 'Awaken a new way of Seeing' thePoint is a groundbreaking 4-day adventure of self-inquiry that reveals and explores a viewpoint on Life as seen through the Mind of original intelligence - how it informs our action and is the source of authentic self-expression within all human relating. The authentic self emerges naturally and spontaneously through harnessing the Power of Present Attention. Given that the mind is the 'operating system' of awareness, it is of particular significance to see and learn how original intelligence illumines the mind, the intellect and, therefore, your thought, word and deed. When we gain true perspective, we harness the simple power of attention and stand firmly in the realm of the unimaginable, inspired to create the impossible. We stand rooted in purpose and depth of meaning with the capacity to act with clarity and effectiveness, directing our attention with precise intention. We are enabled to make a contribution to life and the living, personally and professionally, that is both satisfying and fulfilling. 'thePoint is a mindstyle placing you in perfect alignment with your deepest yearning' Join us in this exploration and embodiment of knowledge & experience.

Phone 09 69547 ++++ PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO AND THE ACADEMY LIVE AND LET DIE Thursday 12 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. "Live and Let Die" was the eighth Bond film and the first to star Roger Moore as Bond, who is investigating the deaths of three British agents. The trail leads to a Harlem drugs lord known as Mr. Big who plans to distribute two tons of heroin free to put rival drug barons out of business and Bond is soon trapped in a world of gangsters and voodoo, encountering Tee Hee, who has a claw for a hand, Baron Samedi, the voodoo master, and Solitaire and her tarot cards, before coming face to face with Mr.Big. "Definitely one of my favourite Bond films. Roger Moore gives a dazzling performance as Bond, he's sharp, charming, funny and endlessly cool, giving the series at that time just what it needed." [Super Reviewer]. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. PAB AGM Friday 13 February in the Academy's Room 25 at 5.15 p.m. The Performing Arts AGM will take place on Friday 13 February at 5.15 p.m. MARGOT / FONTEYN AND NUREYEV: THE PERFECT PARTNERSHIP Friday 13 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. "Margot" is a film starring Anne-Marie Duff, Lindsay Duncan, Derek Jacobi and Penelope Wilton which begins when Margot Fonteyn was seemingly past her creative peak and Ninette de Valois was reducing her roles at the Royal Ballet. Then Rudolf Nureyev came into her life - and her bed - and revitalised her career. However, she was married to Roberto Arias, a Panamanian politician of dubious repute, and when he was shot and paralysed, her life and career became infinitely more complicated. "The Perfect Partnership" is a documentary which traces the Fonteyn/Nureyev partnership from its glorious inception at Covent Garden in 1962 to its grand finale some 17 years later. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: LIFE STORY - 1. FIRST STEPS Thursday 19 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.15 p.m. Narrated by David Attenborough, "Life Story" takes us on the greatest of all adventures, the journey through life. For animals there is just one goal, to continue their bloodline in the form of offspring. They are an animal's legacy for the future. This spectacular series follows that journey through its six crucial stages: taking their first steps in the world, growing up, finding a home, gaining power, winning a mate and succeeding as a parent.Part 1 begins with meerkat pups emerging from their burrows and goes on to document some of the threats faced by animals at the beginning of their lives - barnacle geese, humpback whales, fur seals, lions, jerboas, orchid mantids and black-footed albatross are all part of the cast. Further episodes: Thursdays 26 February, 5, 12, 17 & 26 March Admission: $2.00 [free to film members] PERSUASION Thursday 19 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. "Persuasion" is a BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's novel of the same name and stars Amanda Root as Anne Elliot and Ciaran Hinds as Captain Frederick Wentworth. "The novel is brilliantly captured by director, screenwriter and a cast completely in sync with Austen's warm but piercing style. Their 'Persuasion' is profoundly truthful in many ways: in its sense of emotional longing; in its natural, unglamourised visual beauty, ranging from drawing rooms to the sea; in its fidelity to the delicate tone of Austen's satire and romance." ['Critic's Pick', The New York Times] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from N.B. 6.30 p.m. BOITO: MEFISTOFELE Friday 20 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Boito's "Mefistofele" is a resplendent retelling of the Faust legend, a monumental work of 'choral grandeur and melodic richness'. The San Francisco Opera House production was described as one of the most impressive ever seen there, not least in the staging which, as well as six principals and a vast orchestra, includes a chorus of 90, a children's chorus of 30, 12 ballet dancers and 45 supers. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) ++++ 3) Congratulations ++++ 4) CONDOLENCES Ronnie Vaghmaria It is with sadness that Stragglers Cricket Club hears of the news of the passing Mr Ronnie Vaghmaria.

The Herald, Newsday and others are reporting the comments made by High Court judge, Justice Francis Bere, that spot fines and the impounding of vehicles for non-payment, is illegal. The full Herald article can be read here: http://www.bigsky.co.zw/blog/2015/february/10/spot-fines-illegal-high-court-judge The advice Big Sky has been given, including from the spokesperson for ZRP Traffic, Inspector Chigome, is that Justice Bere made his remarks at the opening ceremony of the Masvingo Circuit Court, and do not represent a court ruling. Accordingly, there is no change 'on the ground'. ZRP personnel will continue to follow instructions, and there is currently no alternative to 'spot fines' (Deposit Fines). We feel the following advice, recently circulated, remains relevant: OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO MOTORISTS WHO FEEL THEY HAVE BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY: A motorist can decline to admit guilt by referring to the warning at the top of the Admission of Guilt form (Z.R.P. N.TFC) that provides the option of appearing in magistrate's court. However, a good starting point is speaking to the officer-in- charge of the roadblock, who being more senior might treat the issue with discretion and experience. If not, the motorist can request to speak to the officer-in-charge of the police station from which the roadblock originated. At all times calm and courteous behaviour will contribute significantly to a fair outcome. If the motorist decides to pay the deposit fine but wishes to take the matter further, when the ZRP member completes the Admission of Guilt form, the motorist should politely request that the Charge (Section and Statutory enactment) field, be completed legibly and with the relevant information. It is important to note that Form 265, providing the facility of paying within seven days, is NOT available as an option. EMERGENCY NUMBERS: Motorists with traffic related queries can call the 24-hour Complaints Desk at Police General H.Q. on (04) 703631 National spokesperson for ZRP Traffic: Inspector Chigome - 0782 951 537 Officer Commanding ZRP Traffic, Harare: Chief Superintendent Marufu - (04) 777642 - 0716 360 698 A comprehensive list of Contact Numbers issued by ZRP - Public Relations in January, 2015 is available as a .pdf document, on request from info@bigsky.co.zw Contact details for emergency services, hospitals, police stations and roadside assistance can be found at: www.bigsky.co.zw Important information Emergency numbers ROADSIDE CHECKS: NOTES FOR THE CUBBY HOLE Our current Cubby-hole notes (version 10, Jan-15) cover the most frequently encountered issues at checkpoints, and the relevant deposit fines. This is available as an easily printed .pdf document, just email us at info@bigsky.co.zw Updates will be posted on www.bigsky.co.zw, Facebook.com/BigSkySupplies and on Twitter @BigSkySupplies We are available to assist with any queries motorists might have.

This slightly-sweet oil is a powerhouse that does everything from remove sticky labels to soothe cuts. With a jar running around $10, there are so many uses for this unique ingredient around your home, you may not even use it for cooking. Body lotion: Use straight from the jar or make your own homemade coconut oil body lotion that soothes dry skin and also helps prevent age spots. Treat athlete's foot: Athlete's foot is an itchy bother that's caused by a fungal infection, which loves warm, moist, and dark places (meaning your sweaty feet). Thanks to coconut oil's high amounts of antifungal properties, applying three to four times a day for up to a week will clear up the infection. Stop squeaks: Next time your door or window screeches, rub a little coconut oil on hinges or edges of frames to stop the annoying noise and keep things moving. Sticker remover: Tired of the stickiness left over from labels Use coconut oil to help remove the gunk. Wood helper: Make dry wood furniture happy again with a quick rub of coconut oil. The creamy oil also helps fill scratches in your favorite wood Wound care: Due to the high concentration of antibacterial and soothing properties, smoothing a thin layer of coconut oil over a wound helps it stay Fight yeast infections: Apply a small amount to affected area three to four times a day alongside ingesting up to three tablespoons each day during treatment. Coconut oil is high in lauric and caprylic acids, which have antiviral, antimicrobal, and antifungal properties. Boost metabolism: Coconut oil has healthy components that tackle harmful bacteria while leaving healthy bacteria alone, helping to balance the flora in the digestive system. This results in feeling better, healthier, and happier. Simply replace cooking oil or butter with coconut oil. Banish lice: It's a topic most don't want to discuss, but sometimes lice happen. Get rid of them fast by massaging coconut oil into hair and leaving overnight. Comb through hair then wash. The high fat content of the coconut oil literally suffocates the lice and helps them slide off hair, and the treatment is safe to use as often as needed. Shine leather: If you've got an old couch that's seen better days, rub a bit of coconut oil over the cracks to give it new life. Car detailing: Apply a small amount of coconut oil to a soft cloth and use for wiping down the inside console of your car. Along with cleaning your vehicle, it delivers a subtle tropical smell that lingers. Shave cream: Coconut oil is a wonderful emollient, so blend it together with essential oils to create a homemade shave cream that keeps legs smooth and also moisturized. Stop dog's itch: If you've got a pooch that's got an itch or hot spot, massage a dollop of coconut oil on the area to relieve the irritation and soothe his skin. Eye makeup remover: Simply swipe on a cotton ball and gently wipe eyes, removing eye makeup. And coconut oil helps fight fine lines, so using it to remove make up is a win-win. Natural SPF 4: Straight from the jar, coconut oil is a natural SPF 4. Use in a pinch when needed with the benefit that you'll feel like you just came from the tropics. Refresh cutting boards: If your cutting board is feeling a bit dry, rub with coconut oil, let sit for four hours, then buff with paper towel. Stop hairballs: Tired of kitty constantly leaving hairballs around your house Rub a small amount of coconut oil on her paws, which will shine her fur and balance her system, cutting down on unwanted surprises on your floor. Cooking: Coconut oil has a high smoke point, which means it can be used with high-temp cooking. And coconut oil is a rich source of fatty acids and healthier than trans fats or animals fats. Fire starter: Next time you're going camping or starting a bonfire, soak cotton balls melted in coconut oil, pack in a sealable bag, then slightly pull apart the ball and light. Toss in the kindling and you've got fire. The soaked balls will burn for five to 10 minutes, helping to create a nice blaze. ++++ The content that is published in Morning Mirror does not necessarily reflect the editor's opinion.
