Donation Fund open to inspection. ++++++++ IN THIS EDITION 1 INTERESTING SNIPPETS 2 SMALLS - NOTICES 3 MISCELLANEOUS FOR SALE 4 THOUGHTS 5 CONGRATULATIONS 6 CONDOLENCES 7 TIDBITS SNIPPETS Sending SMS messages and responding to e mails can knock ten percent off your IG, making it twice as bad as smoking cannabis, according to scientists. The effect is most noticeable among office workers, who are so distracted by "always on" technology that they cannot concentrate on the work at hand. In a study of 1100 workers 62% admitted that they were so addicted to checking e mails that they even checked their work accounts at home ! To make matters worse 50% said they felt compelled to respond to each e mail immediately or as soon as possible. The lack of discipline in the handling of e mails is particularly damaging because it means that instead of working through their tasks systematically, people are constantly hopping from one to another. The combined effect is a recipe for poor performance and muddled thinking. TOO MUCH WATER !! For years long distance runners have been encouraged to drink plenty of water but a new study has confirmed fears that some athletes are overdoing it and diluting their blood. In a study of 488 Boston marathon runners 13% were found to be suffering from Hyponatremia a condition in which blood-sodium levels become dangerously low, and which, in extreme cases, can lead to brain damage or even death. BEWARE INTRUDER IN THE HOME !! A very weird thing has happened. A strange old lady has moved into my house. I have no idea where she came from, or how she got in. I certainly did not invite her. All I know is that one day she wasn't there, and the next day, she was. She is a clever old lady, and manages to keep out of sight for the most part, but whenever I pass a mirror, I catch a glimpse of her. And whenever I look in the mirror to check my appearance, there she is hogging the whole thing, completely obliterating my gorgeous face and body. This is very rude. I have tried screaming at her, but she just screams back. If she insists on hanging around, the least she could do is offer to pay part of the rent, but no. Every once in a while, I find a dollar bill stuck in a coat pocket, or some loose change under a sofa cushion, but it is not nearly enough. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think she is stealing money from me. I go to the ATM and withdraw $100, and a few days later it's all gone. I certainly don't spend money THAT fast, so I can only conclude the old lady is pilfering from me. You'd think she would spend some of that money to buy wrinkle cream. She needs it. And money isn't the only thing I think she is stealing. Food seems to disappear at an alarming rate - especially the good stuff like ice cream, cookies, and candy. I can't seem to keep that stuff in the house anymore. She must have a real sweet tooth, but she'd better watch it, because she is really packing on the pounds. I suspect she realises this, and to make herself feel better, she is tampering with my scale to make me think I am putting on weight, too. For an old lady, she is quite childish. She likes to play nasty games, like going into my closets when I'm not home and altering my clothes so they don't fit. And she messes with my files and papers so I can't find anything. This is particularly annoying since I am extremely neat and organised. She also fiddles with my VCR so it does not record what I have carefully and correctly programmed. She has found other imaginative ways to annoy me. She gets into my mail, newspapers, and magazines before I do, and blurs the print so I can't read it. And she has done something really sinister to the volume controls on my TV, radio and telephone. Now, all I hear are mumbles and whispers. She has done other things - like make my stairs steeper, my vacuum cleaner heavier and all my knobs and faucets harder to turn. She even made my bed higher so that getting into and out of it is a real challenge. Lately, she has been fooling with my groceries before I put them away, applying glue to the lids, making it almost impossible for me to open the jars. Is this any way to repay my hospitality? ++++++++++ NOTICES I just want to send sincere congratulations to Joy Van Rensburg for her production of "My Fair Lady" as from an old producer who has produced many plays in this country, then Rhodesia, in Salisbury ( Harare,) Chipinge, Sinoia, Selukwe and Gweru. I know the amount of time, thought, imagination, work she must have spent on this production and, to have had such a success in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, at this time with shortages of petrol and many other items and with so many difficulties and problems, I feel she deserves special congratulations for entertaining us all so excellently at a time when we all needed cheering. Congratulations from one who acted in one of the very first plays produced in Bulawayo ( I was Wendy in "Peter Pan" produced by Mrs Coleman in the Theatre in 1938 !) Thank you, Joy Van Rensburg for keeping up drama in Bulawayo from Joy Maclean ! ++++++ ASSERTIVENESS TRAINING WORKSHOP Learn how to communicate more effectively and be able to stand up for yourself in a respectful way.

This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again. The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month. Share this with your children and grandchildren.

The jamming of our transmission signal by the Zimbabwe government has required that we broadcast on multiple frequencies. This has been very successful and our listeners have been able to clearly receive us. But it is financially unsustainable, adding a huge amount to our normal running costs. As from 1st June 2005 we will, therefore, be on medium wave for two hours in the early morning (5 - 7am Zim time) and 24 hours a day on our website www.swradioafrica.com Unfortunately our medium wave signal does not cover the whole of Zimbabwe and many of our faithful listeners will no longer be able to hear us. Our future even on medium wave remains critical and in the balance, but we are doing everything we possibly can to maintain our financial viability. Our medium wave signal is clearly received throughout the whole of South Africa so we do know that the two to three million Zimbabwean exiles there will be able to clearly receive our programming. A free media is the cornerstone of any democracy and we will do our very best to ensure that we continue to provide a voice for Zimbabweans, as we struggle along this difficult road to freedom together. A luta continua (the struggle continues) was the slogan of African liberation movements. Sadly it's a slogan that is still applicable to Zimbabwe.

The regulations recently published on the new "Safety" style of number plates for change of vehicles and new vehicle registrations have now been extended to all vehicles on the road. A summary of the requirements follows and we would urge farmers to attend to these as soon as possible. The cost of the new number plates is currently $600,000.00 a pair i.e. $50,000.00 for the plate and $100,000.00 for the registration book, including the security windscreen sticker (or third party). The procedure to change the number plates is as follows:- 1) Obtain CVR4 form from Municipality 2) Obtain Police Clearance using the CVR4 form. 3) Within 14 days take documents etc, listed below to Revenue Hall for issue of new plates:- a) CVR4 Form with Police Clearance Stamp. b) Clearance from Revenue HAll on outstanding traffic fines. c) Vehicle Registration Book d) Insurance Cover Note e) Old Licence Disc f) Proof of Residence rates or telephone account etc) g) Old Number Plate h) $600000.00 in cash The new number plates are available in three sizes- "long" "square and "Japanese" (plus motorcycle size) AA has had confirmation from Harare there will be no new increase in costs "in the foreseeable future" The new windscreen sticker (i.e.) the third plate must not be marked in any way except with the car registration number printed there by the Municipality. Please confirm at the Revenue Hall where it should be placed on the windscreen as it appears that there are several different "specific" areas which have been indicated as the "spot". It should also be noted that each time a vehicle changes ownership new numbers are issued.!. Our thanks go to ABUZ newsletter for this update. +++++++++ Looking for a good, reliable second hand car.

When I try something on, she stands in front of the mirror and monopolises it. She looks totally ridiculous in some of those outfits, plus, she keeps me from seeing how great they look on me. Just when I thought she couldn't get any meaner, she proved me wrong. She came along when I went to get my picture taken for my driver's license, and just as the camera shutter clicked, she jumped in front of me! No one is going to believe that the picture of that old lady is me. - Author unknown ++++++ My forgetter's getting better, But my rememberer is broke To you that may seem funny But, to me, that is no joke For when I'm "here" I'm wondering If I really should be "there" And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer! At times I walk into a room, Say "what am I here for?" I wrack my brain, but all in vain! A zero, is my score. At times I put something away Where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me! When shopping I may see someone, Say! "Hi" and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, "who was that?" Yes, my forgetter's getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it's driving me plumb crazy And that isn't any joke. CAN YOU RELATE??? +++++ "We have to move beyond the mind-set of the powerlessness." - Audrey Edwards - +++++ Wonder D. H. Lawrence When the wonder has gone out of a man he is dead. When all comes to all, the most precious element in life is wonder. Love is a great emotion and power is power. But both love and power are based on wonder. Plant consciousness, all are related by one permanent element, which we may call the religious element in all life, even in a flea: the sense of wonder. That is our sixth sense. And it is the natural religious sense.
