ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M ++++ 1) Editorial 25 New Year's Resolutions You Can Actually Keep All Year Long READ MORE People often resolve to 'read more,' but this is a very broad and vague term. It is better to set several specific books that you want read during the next year. REACHING OUT TO FRIENDS Instead of trying to reach out to all your friends from high school, college, former jobs etc., pick just one person you lost contact with and refresh your friendship. GET OUT OF DEBT Getting out of debts is one of the most common New Year's resolutions people make. Instead of resolving to pay off your debts completely, resolve to create a reasonable and doable debt reduction plan and try to follow it. TRAVEL MORE Again, 'travel more' is too vague. Chose one place or country that you have always wanted to visit and promise yourself that you will make the trip during the next year. Don't resolve to master a new language completely. Make the resolution more realistic and attainable. Resolve to reach a certain level (for example B1) in the language. SPEND MORE TIME WITH FAMILY Many people want to spend more time with their families. Be specific about this resolution, and try to set a particular number of days or family trips you will spend with your loved ones each week or month. VOLUNTEERING Have you ever wanted to try volunteering There are hundreds of interesting volunteer programs these days, so pick the one that suits you most and put it on your New Year's resolutions list. STOP PROCRASTINATION Stopping procrastination is an increasingly popular New Year's resolution, but it is very hard to keep unless we set specific and measurable goals, such as the number of hours you can spend on social media daily/weekly etc. LOSING WEIGHT Weight loss is an absolute New Year's resolution evergreen. The key to success here is to break the resolution down to smaller and more realistic goals. If you resolve to lose 2 pounds each month, and you follow this plan, you will end up losing 24 pounds in year, which is still a great achievement. LEARN TO COOK Many people resolve to 'learn to cook,' but it is very difficult to keep this broad resolution. Instead, try to learn how to prepare one (or more) specific meals you have always wanted to be able to prepare. LOSING WEIGHT It is ridiculous how gyms get crowded at the beginning of January and then go idle by as soon as late February. Make a better resolution than just 'work out more.' Taking the stairs instead of using the lift is a good example. A drastic switch to a healthy diet can be very hard to manage in the long run, so make it more sustainable. Eating one healthy meal (or snack) per day is a reasonable resolution. Millions of people all over the world resolve to reduce their stress levels, but the problem is they don't actually know how to do that. Taking a hot bath, going for a walk every day, or just laughing more are great ways to reduce stress, and they are definitely doable. SAVING MONEY Set a specific, reasonable amount of money you want to (and can) save every month and open a saving account to send the money to DONATING TO CHAIRTY Stop making vague resolutions about donating and go ahead with at least one particular action working towards something you are interested in. You can choose anything from donating to a dog shelter to supporting cancer research. SLEEPING BETTER Instead of resolving to just 'have a better sleep,' be specific and set a number of hours you will be gunning for every night. You can also try to keep a regular sleep schedule. LEARNING MORE Is there anything you have always wanted to learn Take advantage of classes and programs offered by community centers and colleges to develop the skills you desire to have. Some classes can be taken in just a few sessions, which makes this resolution easy to keep. Quitting smoking is arguably the most difficult resolution to keep. It takes enormous dedication and willpower to succeed with this resolution. Therefore, break it down to several steps. For instance, the first one can be switching to electronic cigarettes. They replicate the sensation of smoking while being less dangerous as they contain fewer carcinogens. BIKING Every year, many people resolve to use their bikes more than they did the year before. To avoid breaking this resolution, set a specific number of miles you will ride each month. Again, being reasonable is the key here. Relaxing should be an important part of our hectic lifestyle. Reserving just some 30 minutes for pure relaxing each day can make a huge difference in your life. QUIT SMOKING Another New Year's classic, quitting drinking is probably just as difficult as quitting smoking. Make this resolution more manageable and start your journey to an alcohol-free life with just reducing your drinking. Give yourself a limit on how much you can drink daily or weekly. WRITE A DIARY There are many people who want to start writing a diary, but they are afraid to give it a try because they think it would be too time-consuming. However, writing a diary doesn't have to involve hours of writing every day. Even just a few random thoughts scribbled daily can be a good start. FIND A BETTER JOB Finding a better job is another common New Year's resolution people make. Unfortunately, the success rate is not very high here. However, you can also resolve to just be more satisfied with your current job. That might include new benefits, pay raise, moving to a new division etc. BEING MORE TIDY Instead of resolving 'to be tidier,' set a certain day in the week (for example Saturday) for a house clean-up. Since a chaotic home negatively affects your productivity and mood, this resolution will also help you live a happier life. MAKING RESOLUTIONS Some people actually resolve not to make any resolutions as they think they would break them anyway, but as we just showed you, realistic and reasonable resolutions can totally be kept. So go ahead and make your list of New Year's resolutions for 2017. Good luck with keeping them! And Happy New Years! ++++ BULAWAYO WATCHDOG. Just a thought ... we are all in the same boat!! The person serving you at the store who says your card was declined because zim is new to swiping, the bank teller who gives you a wad of bond notes or even the poor old security guard who can't let you into the bank to draw your hard earned cash... it's not their fault!!! What I am seeing all around me is shameful. Be kind. Everyone is struggling - some more than we can even begin to imagine. I heard an interesting analogy last night... zim being like the Titanic. Don't throw others overboard when you feel the punch of the iceberg... find some floaters and help others climb onto the lifeboats, where you can. Zimbabweans have always pulled together in times of need... let this new path we on be no different . Just thinking out loud N.S. ++++ 2) Notices and Events HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY The next meeting will be held on Sunday, 15th January 2017 Time - 9.30 for 10am Venue- The home of Tony and Pippa Rowland on the Burnside Road Speaker - Sue Bonett on Ornamental Grasses Enquiries Tel.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, the eight-year-old son of the commandant at a German concentration camp, whose forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence has startling and unexpected consequences. See it at all costs. It is both wonderful and devastating. [New York Observer] An unforgettable motion picture experience. Powerful and moving beyond words. [Hollywood.com] A devastating experience for both the characters and the audience. [Filmcritic.com] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. FRIDAY 13 JANUARY WAGNER: TANNHAUSER ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 6.30 P.M. Wagner's Tannhauser is based on two German legends and centres on the struggle between sacred and profane love, and redemption through love, a theme running through much of Wagner's mature work. It begins when Tannhauser tires of Venus's love and escapes from Venusberg but in a song contest on the subject of love, he argues for the importance of physical desire, revealing his sin with Venus, to general horror and Tannhauser is ordered to make a pilgrimage to Rome to seek redemption from the Pope. Wagner's passionate opera about a medieval minstrel torn between the temptations of sacred and profane love is seen here in one of the most gorgeous and gloriously romantic productions in the Met's repertory... the scenic designs are both breathtakingly grand and painstakingly subtle. [New York Times] This richly traditional staging still looks superb and often sounds it in Levine's passionate reading. [BBC Music Magazine] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) THURSDAY 19 JANUARY STAR WARS - A TRIBUTE TO CARRIE FISHER ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M. The first film in the Star Wars series was released nearly forty years ago on 25 May 1977, subsequently subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope. It rapidly became a worldwide phenomenon and catapulted 20-year old Carrie Fisher to fame. She played Princess Leia, held hostage by the evil forces of the Galactic Empire in their effort to take over the galaxy. Venturesome Luke Skywalker and dashing Captain Han Solo team together with the lovable robotic duo, R2-D2 and C- 3PO, to rescue the beautiful princess and restore justice in the galaxy... Endlessly imitated but never rivalled, this opening instalment of George Lucas's original space trilogy dresses up the timeless tale of good versus evil with ground-breaking special effects and a dazzling array of intergalactic characters. [Radio Times] A gigantic, lavish, brilliantly executed old-time movie comic strip. [Wall Street Journal] Filmmakers have tried for decades, but they can't make a better space saga. It's the perfect stand-alone science fiction film... [Lyles' Movie Files] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. FRIDAY 20 JANUARY SINGIN' IN THE RAIN - A TRIBUTE TO DEBBIE REYNOLDS ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 6.30 P.M. Like her daughter Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds was just 20 when she shot to stardom in Singin' in the Rain, which, though only a modest hit when first released, has been accorded legendary status by contemporary critics and, as well as topping the American Film Institute's 'Greatest Movie Musicals', was ranked as the fifth greatest American film of all time. If you've never seen it and don't, you're bonkers. [Time Out] For humour and sheer energy, no musical betters Singin' in the Rain. [Film4] There is no movie musical more fun than Singin' in the Rain, and few that remain as fresh over the years. [Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) ++++ 3) Congratulations ++++ 4) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Fund Alma DEMPSEY, formerly of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, passed away peacefully on Tuesday 10 January 2017 in Bethany Nursing Home, Yanchep, Western Australia, aged 87 years.
