Are you going on holiday? Or perhaps have a vehicle that you are not using? I am sure you will recall that my vehicle was hi-jacked some 18 months ago. Through the tremendous help of very special friends, I have been able to have the use of a car on loan for all that time. It is now necessary for the car to be returned, which leaves me without wheels. Well, not quite - I do have a bicycle coming. I can just afford that! However, if anyone would like me to look after their car while they are away for a short time, I would be pleased to do so, while allowing me the use of some transport at the same time. Thank you in any event for all the help ad kindness I have received.

Hatchings, by John Eppel
It is New Year in Bulawayo, and anybody who is anybody is out celebrating. Hatchings was chosen by Professor Anthony Chennells in the Times Literary Supplement as his choice of the most significant book to have come out of Africa. .eneath the scurrility, this is a profoundly romantic novel. It tells of a touching love story between a young white couple who are saved from the prevailing Philistinism and corruption by two things ? a love of English literature and a love of the Matopos.?Terence Ranger in The Zimbabwean Review

APPEAL TO SAVE OUR COELACANTH Did you know that Bulawayo has its very own Coelacanth at the Natural History Museum ?
Do you know what a Coelacanth is?
It is a prehistoric fish once thought to have been extinct for millions of years, until in 1938 a live specimen was caught near East London in South Africa. The Coelacanth currently in our museum came from the Comoros in 1978. This fish has been described as a 'living fossil' and is very rare; most Museums around the world only having plaster casts or fibreglass models. We have the real deal: a preserved Coelacanth literally in the flesh!
Unfortunately the original tank it was displayed in was damaged and for the last 15 years or so our precious specimen has been tucked away in the basement.
The temporary tank in which the Coelacanth is presently housed is rusting and it is possible that should nothing be done that the Coelacanth itself may deteriorate.
Our museum is fortunate to have qualified and capable staff. It also has a suitable display tank to re-home the Coelacanth. However to successfully preserve and display this fish approximately 400 litres of Isopropyl Alcohol is required. The cost of this is around $400 million dollars.
Whilst one could argue that this isn't our problem ?surely some of our tax dollars could be used ? ?we all know the reality is sadly different. National Museums and Monuments are underfunded and if we don't save OUR Coelacanth, nobody else will.
I am appealing to the public: please help to put our Coelacanth back on display.
If you can help please contact Lara Knight at servair@mweb.co.zw or telephone 241151. A little from many will go a long way.

Charlie Trollope Trust Fund.
As you are aware Charlie's recovery process is going to be a very long and slow one. He is currently in the UCT Private Hospital Neurological Rehab Unit in Cape Town . The family are confident with the care he is getting there and would obviously like to keep him there for as long as necessary, given that he is in need of constant high care and is not in a position to be moved.
His Medical aid provider is currently taking care of most of the bills but there is a limit to this. In order that we can try and limit any further stress on Theresa and the family, we have established a Trust Fund at Slabbert, Venter, Yanoutsos Incorporated which will be administered jointly by (Anton Slabbert who is the senior partner and Graham George). The Trust Fund will only be used to cover the expenses that will be incurred in assisting the Trollope family through the difficult times ahead. Such expenses would include, but not be limited to, all forms of medical cover, rehabilitation, travel costs, living expenses and the like. All donations may be paid to the following account:-
Standard Bank
Fish Hoek Branch
Sort code 03-60-09
Account number 072 128 542
Beneficiary - Slabbert, Venter, Yanoutsos Inc - Trust Account
Noted under reference - Charles Trollope. All deposits must be accompanied by an email which is to be sent to the attorneys at anton@svy.co.za or fax number 27-21-762 5802 and copied to Graham on gsgeo@iafrica.com or fax 27-21-7010184 stating the following:-

I ........... confirm having deposited the sum of R......... into your Trust account for value date ......... and authorise that the funds only be released for the specific benefit of Mr Charles Trollope and family to cover medical and related expenses during his recovery as duly instructed by Graham George.
Unquote
In the event that the funds are not required by Charlie or the family, any monies that remain will be refunded to all donors prorate to their contribution. Needless to say you will have full access to information as to how the funds are used. Whatever contribution you make will be greatly appreciated and we can assure you that it will be a huge relief to Theresa knowing that she does not have to worry about the financial aspect of this tragedy and that she can focus her efforts on Charlie's rehab and recovery. Our sincere thanks in advance for your kind contribution

MOMS, do your children know HOW to study?

studi-tec millennium provides a comprehensive "how to study" programme to address the areas your child(ren) struggles with when it comes to tests, and that time dreaded time of year - exams! Our children are constantly reminded to study more and more, and, to apply themselves more fully. But the real problem is, do they know how to study? Generally, they are given a few organisational tips, and most are unaware study techniques can make a significant difference in terms of time, understanding, memory and retention, effective preparation etc Most pupils are familiar with repetitious parrot-type learning, or reading through huge volumes of work in the hope of remembering it, and, as a result, are often bored and demotivated with such inefficient methods. The five most common problems pupils struggle with are:
1. de-motivation
2. huge volumes of work
3. inefficient reading skills to cope with large volumes of work
4. Parrot-type learning with insufficient insight and understanding
5. Under-achievement in relation to ability.
studi-tec millennium seeks to address these areas offering a comprehensive, practical programme covering more than ten skills crucial for revision and examinations. Skills and techniques are covered in: - Maths: effective recording of maths model examples, terms and errors. - Monitoring: self-assessment, goal-setting, progress, re- establishing aims, feedback. - Reading: scanning, skimming, comprehensive, critical - Listening: differentiating,understanding, identifying main ideas and key words - Textbook: identifying essentials,main ideas, keywords and problem areas - Note-making: comprehensive format aiding understanding, problem areas and revision - Formulating: structuring facts for essays and special assignments - Research: familiarisation with library systems - Memorisation: mnemonics and memory aids to help long-term memory, the role of music - Examinations: preparation, technique, hints, attitude, language - Motivation: thought patterns, attitude, self-worth and self- esteem, positive affirmation, relaxation techniques Our aim is to equip pupils with effective skills to help them become the independent, achieving learners they need to be. Whether your child is under-achieving or already attaining high marks but needs to better them yet for vocational choices, studi-tec will assist your child to be more effective in his/her revision, cutting down on study time and more importantly, to face exams prepared and with confidence. This well-researched, educationally sound "how to study" programme will equip your children for the demands and pressures to succeed in school life. The course is practical, realistic and easy to apply with the tutor having very much a hands-on approach, showing step by step the process of successful studying, how to study in a way that provides hope, "works" and is effective. Our children are invaluable and high school performance determines choice of vocation and requires healthy self-esteem to face the challenges of adult life. The course is open to pupils from Grade 7 upwards, although Form 3's are targeted. It is NOT too late for pupils already in their "O" level year and these techniques can and are used in tertiary education. COURSE INFO: Two courses will be held in Harare, one the last week of term and the second, immediately after the long weekend. In Bulawayo, the course will be held the last week of the school holiday, from Tuesday - Saturday ie AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 2 every morning from 9.OOam - 1.00pm. The programme consists of 16 hours tuition and a package of 60 pages, which is worked through, is included. TO REGISTER AND FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: contact Kate Liebenberg on 054 - 22 39 33.

I have had it on my heart to say something about our trees being

hacked/mutilated/disfigured by Zesa workers. I understand that they need to keep the lines free from branches. It is totally unnecessary to do what they are doing. I feel accosted every time I drive up my road or many other roads around Hillside/ Hillside South/ Burnside.

Peroxide
I want to share this with you, which was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana: "I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little ol' bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store.

My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars.
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe or shower.) No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.
2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.
3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.
7. Put two capfuls into a douche to prevent yeast infections. I had chronic yeast infections until I tried this once or twice a week.
8. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.
9. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.
10. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
11. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.
12. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.
13. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary
14. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, there is no smearing, which is why I love it so much for this.
15. Gargle with hydrogen peroxide, put drops in the ear and nose to end colds, flu, chronic sinusitis (including polyps], and infections.
16. Use as a vegetable wash or soak to kill bacteria and neutralise chemicals.
17. Disinfect your dishwasher or refrigerator.
18. Use it on trees and plants as a natural fungicide, insecticide, and as a weed killer.
19. Clean with hydrogen peroxide when your house becomes a biohazard after its invaded by toxic mould, such as those with water damage.
Hydrogen Peroxide is described as an effective anti-viral, Antibacterial, and anti-fungal, and can be used for anthrax decontamination. This sort of supports the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide, don't you think?
Also: your body makes hydrogen peroxide to fight infection which must be present for our immune system to function correctly. White blood cells are known as Leukocytes. A sub-class of Leukocytes called Neutrophils produce hydrogen peroxide as the first line of defence against toxins, parasites, bacteria, viruses and yeast. Simply put, it is the oxygenation of the body. Sickness and tumours are generally oxygen-hating growths which thrive oxygen-poor bodies. Throughout the world hydrogen peroxide is used instead of chlorine as a safer and eco-friendly municipal water purifier. Some use H2O2 in pools and spas. "Dr. Edward C. Rosenow, author of 450 published medical papers and associate at the Mayo Clinic for over 60 years . . . proved [more than] 70 years ago (1914) that bacteria could be found consistently in the lymph nodes that drain joints (J.A.M.A., April 11, 1914). He was probably the first scientist to postulate that H2O2 would help arthritis because of its ability to supply oxygen to oxygen-hating organisms causing arthritis (Streptococcus viridans)."

PAINTBALL

ANYONE IN BULAWAYO WITH PAINTBALL EQUIPMENT?

If you have then you are not alone. My friends and I have several arkers( 5 guns) as well as masks and gas tanks and are eager to find out if there is anyone apart from us who happens to play paintball in Bulawayo. If you do and have your own equipment and paintballs we would be more than happy to tell you where we are going to play next. If you are interested but do not have your own equipment, we could arrange a trial for you at our next meeting. If you were then interested, we would be able to give you ALL the information you needed to purchase your own equipment. Please bear in mind that the equipment is not available locally. We would be THRILLED to have you join us. Please note- although it does fall under the category of extreme sports it is not too painful and will only leave you with a few bruises if played properly and safely. For further enquiries please email me at jvincent@mweb.co.zw
