DOES ZIMBABWE STILL HAVE SANE, RESPECTFUL,POLITE OR CONSIDERATE BUS CONDUCTORS....
We have all come across disrespectful people in our lives but public transport conductors take the cup. Zimbabweans can support me on this one. We have come across rude conductors once or twice in our lives others even more times than others & each time is worse than the last time but a few still act like they come from people.Emphasis on a "few". Rude rowdy behavior does not begin to explain the level of INHUMANITY that has engulfed this species. To think we came from the same creator , let alone the same procedure of birth makes it even worse and scarier. Is it even the case? Did we really come from the same place or is it the job that has turned them into raving lunatics, disasters waiting to occur. Don't get me wrong l don't loathe their choice of profession nor do l despise them as a group of people l just happen to think they too should consider, respect and make a journey worthwhile considering that if those people were not there, if everyone had their own means of transport they would be unemployed. Yes sometimes civilians have a way of provoking conductors but that doest mean they should disrespect them besides the customer is king inst it? So in a business a customer is always right right? Bus commuting is a business right? If only there was some sort of qualification for this type of job were these people are taught manners and register and not forgetting the importance of the customer. l don't know maybe all they need is divine training who knows. Those people have a mind that does not work in a way normal peoples do. I am not saying they are not normal but sometimes l just wonder. Different days, different times and different buses mean different conductors and different experiences. Being subject to such torture makes you rethink twice about boarding a bus but what else will you do, what else can you do....

"She was just sunshine, and she had an ability to touch people and hearts very quickly. Doctor Ottilia Chareka may your soul rest in peace....
Ottilia Chareka, the 42-year-old St. Francis Xavier University professor was killed on Wednesday March 16 by her husband, Patrick Ms. Chareka’s life story has been about jumping over obstacles, proving men wrong, doing the impossible.
She was the first woman in her clan to finish high school, the first to go to university (against her father’s wishes), the first to get a master’s degree and the first to complete her doctorate.
Ms. Chareka came to Canada in the early 1990s and discovered her teaching credentials were worthless. So she enrolled in the University of New Brunswick, and worked as a maid at the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel to pay the bills.
When she arrived, she learned her teaching degree was not recognized. She retrained at the University of New Brunswick, working as a hotel maid in Fredericton to pay for her tuition.
In a documentary about her life called Familiar Stranger, she said it was a big change for her — in Zimbabwe she had owned a house and employed a maid.
She got her master’s degree in 1994, returned to Zimbabwe in 2001, then went back to the University of New Brunswick to get her PhD in 2005.
Hundreds attended services for Ottilia Chareka the weekend following her death and last weekend two benefits were held with proceeds going to her five daughters.
May her soul rest in peace and may Patrick Chareka pay for his atrocities
At the time of her death she was an assistant professor at the Nova Scotia university.
Police say Ottilia Chareka, 42, died from injuries sustained in the family home Wednesday morning.
RCMP found her with life-threatening injuries after responding to a 911 call about a disturbance at 27 Centennial Dr. She died two hours later at St. Martha's Regional Hospital.
Patrick Chareka was arrested at the scene.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT?
There should be an increase in awareness because a lot of people are not aware of identity theft. People should be informed on how the thieves, who you should report to and how to prevent identity theft. More awareness means more preparation to deal with the problem when it presents itself. People should protect themselves by making sure personal information and financial records are kept in a secure place and should not be given to just everyone. Financial documents should be shredded before they are discarded so that whoever gets hold of it can not use the information because they cannot see it. People should also avoid giving away personal details like credit card numbers or social security numbers especially on emails they do not understand without first contacting the organization or company that supposedly sent the email. If these personal records get into the wrong hands risks of having that information used for a variety of unethical and illegal means is relatively high. Law enforcements on the other hand should also improve or help in responding to complaints and trying to find the criminals.

ARE WORD PROCESSING PROGRAMS MAKING STUDENTS LAZY?
Word processing programs makes life convinient for students for instance when writing essays. These programs help in fixing spellings, grammar and sometimes puntuation, automatically format documents and helps in correct referencing but it does not write the essays fo the students because the students still have to research and formulate their ideas into a body of text. Word processing programs do not make students lazy but rather more productive because not much time is spent on learning spellings or punctuation because these programs assist in the task. On the other hand some educators believe that these programs make students lazy in that they do not put any effort for they know word processing programs will do everything for them from sums to correcting spellings, grammar and formating docments automatically. As a student myself l believe word processing programs do not make us lazy but makes us more productive.

ARE EMPLOYERS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPUTER-RELATED REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURIES
Employers are not responsible in that all they do is they assign work to be done and because the employee obviously wants food on the table and a roof over the head has to do it and the computer just happens to be the fastest and most reliable tool to do it but maybe not the only option. The employer does not detect the way one uses the computer for example the way one sits might affect ones eyesight and this clearly is not the employers fault. There is also the fact that, technology has introduced the Ergonomic keyboard which ensures and incorporates comfort, efficiency, and safety in the design of workplace thus helping in reducing the disorders or injuries associated with the use of the computer. If a workplace is not designed ergonomically the risk of the above mentioned health problems is inevitable hence we can blame the employers for this. The workload given to the employee by the employer determines the extent of the wrist muscles strained this however is a difficult thing to conclude on who i to blame but it might be probably right to say the employer because sometimes the employer give a short time thus the employee has to rush finishing in fear of risking his or her job. The bottom line is that employers should ensure an ergonomically friendly environment to ensure the health of the workers is not at risk.
