Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home 1) Editorial The White Helmets Those who watched the horrifying scenes in Turkey during the recent earthquake rescue, must surely have been personally affected by this terrible tragedy. The world has had its unfair share of disasters and calamities recently, but this surely must have been one of the worst. We salute the brave men and women from the World Disaster Teams, who sent personnel and equipment to assist the Turkish people in this time of grief and devastation. However Turkey's neighbour Syria, was not as fortunate to have the World's assistance, but thank God the White Helmets were there. Because when disaster strikes in war-ravaged Syria and the world watches from afar, a group of ordinary Syrians don their trademark white helmets and rush in to save lives. The Syria Civil Defence, better known as the White Helmets, consists of about 3,000 volunteer first responders who "come from all walks of life," including bakers, tailors, pharmacists, firefighters and engineers, according to the organisation's website. Unpaid and unarmed, they risk their lives to help those in need "in all areas" of Syria that they "can access," the organisation says. Most recently, the White Helmets has been garnering attention for their vital response to the devastation in rebel-held areas of northwestern Syria after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked the region on Feb. 6, with the epi center just across the border in southeastern Turkey. The quake and its powerful aftershocks toppled thousands of buildings in both countries, killing more than 35,000 people, according to Turkish and Syrian officials. The White Helmets says it formed as a grassroots team of volunteers during the earlier years of Syria's ongoing civil war, which began as a peaceful revolution in the southern city of Dara'a in 2011 before descending into a full-fledged conflict by 2012. When the Syrian regime and its allies began bombing civilian targets in opposition-controlled areas, the White Helmets responded by rescuing people from the rubble and helping rebuild their homes. The organisation says it has saved more than 125,000 lives "on all sides of the conflict." Initially, the volunteers had limited experience and equipment, often digging out victims "with only their bare hands," the organisation says. In 2013, some volunteers traveled to neighbouring Turkey for their first professional training in urban search and rescue. Additional and more advanced training over the years has allowed the White Helmets to develop expertise in using heavy tools, establish specialised teams and open facilities. In addition to search and rescue missions and the rehabilitation of neighbourhoods, the White Helmets says it now provides "a range of essential services" for more than 4 million civilians across northwestern Syria. Those services include firefighting, health care, fixing electrical grids, sewage maintenance, removing unexploded weapons, clearing rubble from roads, as well as educating communities and preparing them for future attacks, according to the organisation's website. The White Helmets operates only in rebel-held areas of Syria, though the organisation describes itself as non-partisan. The White Helmets says its volunteers pledge commitment to the principles of "humanity, solidarity, impartiality," as outlined under international humanitarian law. The organisation's motto comes from an oft-quoted verse in the Quran: "to save a life is to save all of humanity." Their work has earned them the 2016 Right Livelihood Award, often described as the "Alternative Nobel," as well as several nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. However, many volunteers have paid the ultimate sacrifice -- at least 293 have been killed while saving others, according to the organisation's website. Our hearts go out to the countless folk in Turkey and Syria, who have suffered in this cataclysmic catastrophy. ++++ WATCHDOG KGVI is looking for card offcuts, any size or shape for teaching our deaf kids with a special method called Red Star.

THE FORSYTE SAGA The Forsyte Saga is a chronicle of feuds and machinations, the effects of sex, money and power on the lives of an upper-middle-class family. It is also the story of the importance of personal freedom and an emotional epic about finding the courage to fight for happiness, no matter how distant it may be, and the saga of the unstoppable force of love. When the original series aired on the BBC in 1968, it was something of a phenomenon as the nation shut down each Sunday night for the event. It secured an iconic status as pubs closed early, the streets were deserted and churches even rescheduled their evening services so that the immense audience could be ready for the start of the show at 7:25 p.m. So it was a bold move for Granada to launch a remake 35 years later but it was remarkable successful. Starring Damian Lewis as Soames and Gina McKee as Irene, the 'remake is more lavish and sensual, the acting generally graceful and convincing and the central themes more clearly delineated.' [Variety] * If it gets any better than this I've yet to experience it and I'm not holding my breath. [IMDb] * A gripping story of greed, lust and society that at times put you to the edge of your seat. [Amazon] * It's a testament to the material's strength, and its handling here, that The Forsyte Saga still manages to succeed. [Los Angeles Times] * This is an honourable and interesting attempt to make The Forsyte Saga live for, and attract, a new generation of viewers. It looks wonderful, the acting is riveting, vivid descriptive details are preserved and the scope and meaning of the books are comprehended. [The Telegraph] Admission: US$2.00 - $5.00 the series [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 17 FEBRUARY 6.30 P.M. TCHAIKOVSKY: SWAN LAKE Swan Lake is the most successful of all ballets, and hardly needs any introduction. In this 2004 La Scala production, two classical ballet world stars take the lead roles: Ukrainian-born Svetlana Zakharova, at that time the most sought-after representative of the Russian style, is Odette/ Odile, and Roberto Bolle Prince Siegfried. The version presented is based on the Petipa/Ivanov choreography for Swan Lake which has become a classic but the Burmeister version, first seen in 1953, also took into account Tchaikovsky's original score and featured the composer's individual dance sequences; it caused a sensation and included a happy ending for the lovers, in contrast to Petipa's 1895 production. * It is the sheer paralysing brilliance of Svetlana Zakharova that makes this an absolute must for anyone who has even the slightest interest in ballet. [Amazon] * The dancing is excellent and the two lead dancers stand out: Svetlana Zakharova, a principal ballerina with the Bolshoi for years, and Roberto Bolle. The remainder of the cast is also quite fine and sets and other production values are high: the visual effects in particular are impressive, especially in the finale.
