ZBCtv gears up for opening of more channels
By Staff reporter | 22 Jul 2019 at 18:36hrs
The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) and Palestine International Cooperation Agency (PICA) have reached an agreement to strengthen relations through an exchange programme between the ZBC staff and Palestinian media experts.
The move is aimed at equipping ZBC Staff with necessary skills to turnaround its operations as it prepares to open up more television channels.
The national broadcaster ZBC is on a massive drive to enrich its staff in terms of skills ahead of the opening of a 24 hour news channel and more other channels.
Addressing participants this Monday during the launch of an exchange programme being facilitated by PICA at ZBC Pockets Hill Studios in Highlands, Harare, Palestinian Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Her Excellency Mrs Taghrid Senouar said the exchange of cooperation in media will enrich the relationship between PICA and ZBC.
"We have discussed on what areas of cooperation to work on and find it good for us to be here for the exchange programme with the ZBC staff and we are doing 29 programmes in other nations," she said.
ZBC Chief Executive Officer Mr Patrick Mavhura emphasized the need for training of staff first which is in tandem with its quest to open a 24 hour news channel soon.
"I'm happy for the coming of people from Palestine to train our staff and we need to take it seriously for us to have the much need needed knowledge for us to have new television stations," he said.
The relationship between Zimbabwe and Palestine dates back to pre-independence era and the cooperation between the two nations continues to be cemented.

Coffee is for closers
Thus, piss and moan we shall.
It could be that the members of Tank Nation could give a fuck about how the Jays seal the deal to win games because, somehow, being the worst team in the league is going to guarantee that we draft first and get our shot at the next Dale Hawerchuk. But we're convinced that winning breeds winning, and young players who play on teams who find ways to win develop a culture and a mindset that promotes winning in the future. And if learning how to win a seemingly meaningless game in April 2010 means that The Rosy-Cheeked Phenom is in the proper headspace to hit a walkoff dinger in October of 2013, then let's learn to win now. Shall we? Mmmmkay?
So far this season, every Jays game has had a save situation, and given the razor-thin margin for error that the team will have, they will be in plenty of close games. And if we're going to try to win games every night, let's at least have a look at what is going on with the closer now so that we're not handing back wins in April that might make this team look respectable in September.
So let's get down to brass tacks: The Jason Frasor that has taken the mound five times this year is not The Sausage King. Frasor's velocity is down (91.2 MPH vs 93.8 on average last year), and our guess is that he knows it. He's trying to finesse his way around at bats.
Where The Sausage King of 2009 went after hitters, stepping on their throats with fastballs for strikes to get ahead in the count, then kicked them in the teeth with his reprehensibly nasty off-speed foshiness. But Jason Frasor 2010 is attempting to tickle-fight hitters into submission, tossing pitches on the margins of the zone, falling behind and having get-me-over pitches sent back the other way at alarming rates. In his first 4.1 innings pitched, he's given up eight hits, including three doubles and a homer to go along with three walks. And were it not for his ability to squirm his way out of some of these predicaments with his six strikeouts, we're sure that he would have given up more than just three runs and two wins.
Okay, let's snap back to reality: Just one week of the season is down, and there are 25 more to get through, so it is probably too early to start making rash decisions on bullpen roles. It's been a crappy week for Frasor, and a good week for big giant manly-man closer-type dude Kevin Gregg. (Although surprisingly, Gregg's fastball velocity is clocking in at just 91.9 MPH, which is shocking to us considering the way we've swooned every time he shot puts a heater past someone.)
Frasor's progress over the next few weeks bears monitoring. If the velocity comes back or balls start finding gloves or Frasor starts getting calls, then we can all chill. But a few more walks and a few more extra base hits, and just maybe The Manager should put loyalties aside and look to find the most effective arm in the bullpen to shut things down.

Can someone explain why Jason Frasor is called 'The Sausage King'?

First of all, +infinity for the Dale Hawerchuk reference. Ducky was my boy (even after he whined his way out of the 'Peg in return for the great Phil Housley, who was largely responsible for Teemu's record setting rookie brilliance. But I digress.....)
Secondly, yeah......it's early, BUT....Frasor isn't exactly inspiring confidence in the early going. Not to get too hokey touchy feely, but his body language (& postgame comments) out there speaks volumes also.
I don't understand the 0-2 fastballs either. Fosh notwithstanding, what happened to the sharp little breaking ball he used to flash?
(and Frasor, if you're reading this....head on over to GROF - he still has your back. Confidence!)

You know, it took BJ Ryan longer to blow two saves last year. I'm just saying it's not time to panic yet, but maybe we should PANIC! AAAAHHH!

- Ian H. said...
I wouldn't really place the blame on Frasor for this one ... how about the hitters who struck out 7 out of 15 times in the final four innings?
- April 13, 2010 at 11:18 AM
- William Bruyea said...
Clearly Gaston blew this one. Tallet should never have been in to pitch the 6th so Frasor should have entered the game with a 2-3 run lead. I explain further further.
- April 13, 2010 at 11:26 AM
I think Frasor is distracted because of the new season of Glee on Fox!
- April 13, 2010 at 11:27 AM
- Voodoo Matt said...
Manager idiocy in the sixth inning has to go to the Oz. No one warming, Peavey shits up the place, emergency warm-up, general time wasting, Williams brought in before he had a chance to warm up, bases loaded, result: Williams couldn't hit a cow in the ass with a shovel and he walks in the go-ahead run.
Cito not pulling Tallet is a pretty minor difference of opinion in comparison.
- April 13, 2010 at 11:40 AM
- Leaker said...
After Williams, it was lights out for Chicago's pen. It was tough to watch. I started to wince on each delivery. Also tough to watch was Tallet trotting out there on nothing but fumes and guts. I admire his determination, but last night called for a five and fly. But I'm sure his spirits are up knowing his manager allowed him to be shellacked one more inning.
Hopefully Teahen resumes his career as a non-factor this evening.

Hitters should hit - they didn't, and pitchers should pitch, and Frasor, most certainly, did not.
Mix things up, start with Overbay on the bench, and Ruiz at first!!!
- April 13, 2010 at 1:45 PM
I thought Frasor's velocity was up a bit more last night. I'm still with him. You can't blame the closer for being 5-2 when Pythagoras says we should be 4-3. Obviously we're a bit lucky right now. It's a long season.
- April 13, 2010 at 2:40 PM
- brainiac said...
I dunno...that 0-2 fastball seemed a bad call. One of many of course this year(or any year..or every year) but it is what it is.
How bout that Vernon eh?
- April 13, 2010 at 3:17 PM
- brainiac said...
Ha! Landed that Cuban!
I spose thats the end of Johnny Mac...

I've been having a fabulous time watching taht man meat Tallet , The Man with Talent who's so scruffy in a teddy bear kinda way screw things up! Cito is attractive in an older man type of way BUT he should have pulled out Tallet last night! Frasor is called the sausage king for good reason, how did you know anon? were you two playing squeeze the sausage?:)
Yes, the he-men are at 5-2 BUT they could have been 7-0 if not for sausage boy. Cito needs to bend him over and spank 'im! He needs to get his shit in order,it would ugly to see Frasor flush the season down the toilet like this.
at the straight guy who mentioned Pythagoras he was apushy bottom just so you know! He was wrong about the stats. The BP can pitch and the starting pitching hasn't been that bad. and the team of hotties have been hitting too. I just wish they would hit on me for a change!
BTw, I'm going with my Blowboys to support the Jays and I'm holding a sign saying Buck Martinez is the Hottest Older dude and Cito ain't so bad either!
Anyway, I have to go watch Wizard of ass again, I cry everytime Dorothy gets pulled out of Kanass!
- April 13, 2010 at 3:57 PM
ooops I menat the character Kansass! sorry guys, i was so excited I lost myself.
Also Ricky Romero is so fine in a Latin type of way. I hope I see him at the Pride parade like Scutaro!
anyway...GO BLOW JAYS!
- April 13, 2010 at 4:01 PM
- Bwilly said...
Is it Buck? Frasor looks uncomfortable out there and maybe its because he doesn't quite trust his catcher yet.
- April 13, 2010 at 6:19 PM
What if Randy Ruiz hit .400 last year with 20 homers. Do you think that would get him 2 at bats this season instead of one?
Oh yeah he had to hit .500 in spring training. Thats right, sorry for second guessing you Cito.
- April 13, 2010 at 6:46 PM
- Nik said...
Love the "Glengarry Glen Ross" title reference. Tell Jason Frasor:
"Put that coffee down."
"You think I'm fuckin' with you? I am not fuckin' with you."
Eh, maybe Downs is the answer.

By Daniel Hoy
Last year Courtney Atkinson prevailed on the run to claim his maiden IRONMAN 70.3 victory in Cairns over long time rival Brad Kahlefeldt. The pair headline a stellar field for IRONMAN 70.3 Cairns, to be run in conjunction with the Cairns Airport IRONMAN Cairns.
After announcing his plans to race more IRONMAN 70.3 events last year, Atkinson notched up back to back wins at Cairns and Philippines. In Cairns he held off fast-finishing 2008 Commonwealth Games gold medalist Kahlefeldt who added his second to a win at IRONMAN 70.3 Busselton last year.
Atkinson is having his first start since his IRONMAN debut at the Asia Pacific Championship in Melbourne, where he finished 17th, and is keen to get back to his best in a race that he enjoyed last year.
"I am looking forward to being involved across the whole festival week as ambassador and share just how good Cairns is as a place," says Atkinson.
Kahlefeldt comes into the race on the back of some outstanding form with podiums at IRONMAN 70.3 races in Geelong, St Croix and Putrajaya, where he won.
Last year Atkinson came into IRONMAN 70.3 Cairns not really knowing what to expect but this year he knows exactly what he's in for.
"To be honest I liked being fresh and a little naive at the distance last year. It was a change and when things are new it always makes it more interesting and exciting. After racing a number of 70.3 races now it feels a little more like a race than an adventure, which is both good and bad. I know what to expect but I also know you have to be in very fit condition to get over the nearly four hours of racing. There is no hiding."
Atkinson and Kahlefeldt are just two of a growing number of former Olympic distance athletes making the switch to IRONMAN.
"I think the level of racing will continue to rise over the next few years, especially after the Rio Olympics which is exciting for the sport," says Kahlefeldt. "The IRONMAN races will get quicker without a doubt. It is great to see the popularity of 70.3 and IRONMAN in Australia and all over the world, it certainly has exploded and it's an exciting time for the sport."
They won't have things their own way in Cairns with a field stacked with talent including fellow Australians Tim Reed, second in Geelong to Craig Alexander, Clayton Fettell, Sam Appleton, Alex Reithmeier and Joey Lampe – all IRONMAN 70.3 podium placegetters in the last 12 months. Add to that Sunshine Coast's Dave Dellow, coming back after his third placing at IRONMAN in Melbourne and with impeccable Cairns experience after winning the IRONMAN Cairns event in 2012.
Warriner to defend title
In the women's race last year's winner Kiwi Samantha Warriner is attempting to fly the flag for the 40-something brigade.
She is set for a battle against one of the world's best athletes in Sunshine Coast based Swiss star, Caroline Steffen.
Warriner, the former world number one ranked standard distance triathlete, made the perfect return to racing last year after the birth of her first daughter.
"I'm looking forward to Cairns - it's a special event being the first big race I won after giving birth to Lola," says Warriner.
Steffen returns to racing after her dominant Melbourne performance
It was the perfect start to her partnership with new coach Chris McCormack, the Australian who has won 12 Ironman titles, the most by any male.
"Chris and I are going great. The training is hard but having him as my coach and mentor gives me this extra little boost I need to manage the load," says Steffen. "Chris told me how much he likes to race in Cairns so we both agreed this Ironman 70.3 would be a great opportunity for me to see how the training is going and also to test my fitness level."
Look for challenges from IRONMAN Australia runner-up Lisa Marangon, last year's runner-up Kiyomi Niwata (Japan), talented age-groupers-turned-pro Michelle Duffield and Kym Jaenke and super-vet Belinda Granger, who has not been further back that fifth in the last 18 months in IRONMAN 70.3 races.

There is a great article over at Inhabitat that sparked some thoughts on what you need in a home. This is useful to help you develop a overarching philosophy to drive your design, to make sure your needs are met and not get caught up in the glitz of every bell and whistle or trendy thing.
This is an important step because it helps guide your decisions down the road. For people who feel that sustainability is an issue, this will lead you to things like solar power, responsibly sourced wood/reclaimed wood, higher R value insulation etc. Determine you list of core values that you hold dear and keep them in mind throughout the process, this list should be pretty short and concise and you should be willing to pay or expend energy in order to meet these values.
What are your needs?
It is important to consider what your needs are before designing your home, it is from this that your house can begin to take shape. This is very important to help you to think conceptually about your rooms. For instance it is common in larger homes to have a guest bedroom that goes largely unused, but if we like to entertain we might think about how we will meet this occasional need without the addition of an entire room. This realization might lead us to consider only small couches that fold out into a bed.
Many Tiny home designers use what is called subtractive design. Basically you want to design a space that meets your needs, but then you want to try taking things away from the design. If the removal doesn't detract from the design then it should stay out. If the removal of something actually improves the design, then it should be kept out.
From Inhabitat:
- Which spaces will be expandable into others?
- Which spaces will have direct access to the exterior?
- In which rooms do you prefer sunlight at various times of day?
- What special storage or leisure activities need to be accommodated?
- Can any spaces serve multiple functions?
- Where and when do you expect true privacy?
- Do you require special accommodations for other generations within the family?
- Will you work at home? How and where?
- Where will you eat alone? With family? With many guests, if you entertain?
- What prized personal possessions need to be showcased?
- Is energy-efficiency and sustainability important to you? Will you invest a portion of your budget in green building strategies?

That's awesome, I can find one for w300,000 but it won't run and if it does, it won't run longer than a month. I don't think it is over priced, this car will drive another year or two without the owner having to put a penny into it. If you want to buy a car for W800,000 you would have to assume that it is not in very good condition. Anyways, my car is in great shape and runs like a new car. That is why it is asking more. But, of course it is open to offers.

It might run great, but it's 12 years old and resale values are not great in this country. I bought a car last year that wasn't as old as this for 450 000. I drove it for 6 months without doing any repairs, then sold it. Don't assume that a car is going to fall apart on you just because it is 800 000 won. Used cars are cheap here because Koreans are so image conscious. No one wants to be seen driving an old car, so used cars sell for next to nothing. It's all about supply and demand. Back to top nolankerrJoined: 09 Feb 2006Location: Suji, South Korea Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2006 6:38 am Post subject: Wow, thanks for the lesson. But, I disagree. I wouldn't say all Koreans are "image conscious", just look at most of their hairstyles. No offence but the "Korean Fade" is most stylish of styles. Anyways, I have owned 3 cars in Korea and have had a lot of friends who also bought cars. The cars that we bought for dirt cheap all turned out to be trash. Most had to have more money put into them than they were purchased for. The others that were a little more expensive were much more mechanically sound and didn't have and major problems. I'm not saying that cheap cars are bad, I'm just saying that my car is in perfect mechanical shape. p.s. I have a degree in business and fully understand supply and demand Back to top nolankerrJoined: 09 Feb 2006Location: Suji, South Korea Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2006 10:08 pm Post subject: MUST SELL FAST, LOWER PRICE!!!!

Not many offers huh? PS. Just because their hairstyles are not stylish doesn't mean they are not image conscious, after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

After looking high & low, I finally found BC's Gluten-Free Devil's Food Cake at Giant Eagle. Yes, Amazon had them, but you had to buy them by the case (6 boxes to a case) and I didn't know at the time if they were "case-worthy" or not. Those of you who used to watch Seinfeld when it was on will understand the "worthy" reference. After baking the cake yesterday & diving in for dessert last night, I can definitely say that this cake is "case-worthy". Not only that, but if you sign up for Amazon's "Subscribe & Save" plan, the case is only $20.26 and your shipping is free! You choose the frequency of your shipment and can cancel at any time. I think Amazon should pass along some commission to me as I refer all kinds of people to them. Hmmmm. Anyway, I digress.
This cake was so easy to make. All you need is 1 stick of butter (half a cup), 1 cup of water & 3 eggs. I was going to add some sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra moistness, as I had heard reports of the cake being too dry, but I decided that I needed to follow directions exactly as the box read the first time I made the cake so I could accurately review the product. Much to my surprise, the cake was very, very moist and delicious. No need for the sour cream or Greek yogurt. One thing that I think really helped is that I set the timer for 8 minutes under the lowest recommended baking time. I then checked on the cake every 5 minutes until the toothpick inserted in the center came out clean. I took the cake out right after that. I can see where this could easily be over baked if your oven was not calibrated properly or you weren't keeping a close eye on it. I used to have an oven thermometer, but it fell on the bottom of my oven and then stopped working. I really need to get a new one as proper temperature is everything when you bake.
I let the cake cool on a rack, in the pan, for about an hour or so. I was pressed for time, so I probably should have let it cool for longer, but I was still able to frost it without any consequences. I carefully inverted the cake (8-inch round) onto my hand and then back onto my serving surface. I then frosted with chocolate frosting (I used the recipe off of the Hershey's Cocoa Can). Here is the frosting recipe from the Hershey's site:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
2/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla. About 2 cups frosting.
I served this cake last night to my Dad, Step-Mom, Christy & Regan (little sister). They all loved it! My Dad doesn't even like chocolate cake & said it was good! Now, that is saying something! So, Betty Crocker, you are 3 for 3 so far. The brownies, cookies & Devil's Food Cake have all been hits. Now, I have one last mix to sample: The Yellow Cake Mix. I hope to make the cake this week. Maybe I will do some cupcakes with that mix! The kids will love that!

Each week, host Jeff Probst answers a few questions about the most recent episode of Survivor: Philippines.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You have two types of "villains" on Survivor — those that know they are villains and almost embrace it in a way, and those that have no clue whatsoever. Abi-Maria would seem to clearly fall into that latter category. As a producer, how are they different in terms of what they bring to the show?
JEFF PROBST: Another interesting question…. I guess it would come down to behavior. Russell Hantz enjoys being a villain, likes creating chaos and on some level is always doing it for the audience enjoyment. He's fascinating to watch because we know he is fully aware of what he is doing when he burns someone's socks in the fire. Abi-Maria is completely clueless about the impact of her behavior on others. This is equally fascinating because we are amazed that she has no idea! I do think some of it is cultural, but the part that is cultural is the awareness of her behavior. The behavior itself is not cultural — that's just selfishness and entitlement. Regardless of her approach, she has planted herself firmly in the Survivor Villain Hall Of Fame, which I would have never predicted pre-show. I thought she was very charming and funny and that she could flirt away deep into the game. I never saw this coming. Equally interesting is the fact that she is still in the game, and at this point is someone it makes a lot of sense to take to the end.
EW: There was a lot of confusion among the contestants during the reward challenge where they had to turn over their drums to reveal a logo and their opponents' drums to cover their logo. I was curious if the Dream Teamers running this in rehearsal also had trouble keeping things straight. Also, how much in general do the rehearsals match the real deal?
PROBST: This was the first time we had done this challenge and while it is a very solid concept, it did prove problematic. When the Dream Team rehearsed it, we had a completely different outcome — they got extremely physical with each other. They would quickly get entangled in a wrestling match to keep the other from moving to the next ring. It resulted in lots of bruises and cuts. We were expecting a physical challenge from the Survivors, but instead they just started sprinting. I'd say that 30% of the time the Dream Teamers do something different from the Survivors. Most of the time it goes according to plan. One of the benefits of having the Dream Team rehearse a challenge is that we learn the places where you can "cheat", and at that point we can decide whether to close those holes or leave them in the hopes that a Survivor will take advantage of it.
EW: I've bugged you about this before and am going to bug you again right now: the multi-stage immunity challenge. Why do these when it can mean that the one or two people that need to win more than anyone — in this case Pete and Abi — can get knocked out in the first stage, thereby draining a lot of the tension out of the rest of the competition?
JEFF PROBST: Usually these multi-stage challenges are a necessity due to production constraints. It takes quite a bit of people power to build our challenges and if we have any hiccups in their production — such as rain delays or we build a challenge that doesn't end up working — and have to improvise, these multi-stage challenges are typically smaller builds and therefore a get out of jail free card. Totally agree that it doesn't always work for the best drama. Sometimes you have to make the decision that allows you to finish production and it trumps an individual moment.
EW: I promise to give much thanks this holiday season if you give me a killer tease for next week's episode.
PROBST: Abi is in trouble — can she find a way out? And alliances are shifting once again.
