Well, Friends, it's that time again–time for the One Kitchen, Many Hearts Big Reveal! Technically, we're supposed to exchange gifts every other month, which would have made us due in August. However, since we all agreed that August was The Month That Wasn't because of the flurry of activity, including a wedding/honeymoon, an anniversary vacation, running rehabs, and all around craziness, we postponed the gifting by a month until we could all catch our collective breaths.
Sometimes it pays to wait for the calm after the storm.
(Top l to r) Mads, Me, Megan. (Bottom l to r) Jeanne, Allison, Kat.
So here we are in September. Delaying our present-a-palooza only gave us more time to taunt give each other hints about all of the awesomeness that was coming.
For those of you who don't know, Allison lives on what she terms "the surface of the sun," a.k.a. Arizona. Those "perishables" are a bag of fresh hatch chiles direct from the desert! Hatch chilies are not a variety, but rather named for the Hatch valley in New Mexico where they are grown. Think of them as the hotter cousin of the pale yellow Anaheim chile. The term "hotter" pertains to the heat of the chile, not the outward attractiveness, of course.
I've got plans for these little chiles! Top on the list are Hatch Chile Apple Cobbler, and the Bacon Slayer's vote: Green Chile Cheese Steaks. Either way? We're winning.
Other local fare included this Prickly Pear Pineapple Jelly. I must say that at first glance, I read the source of the jelly as being Remington DeaTH Ranch. That made me giggle a little bit, even though jelly from a death ranch would be anything but funny. At second glance, I realized it was really from Remington DeaF Ranch. Then I laughed even harder at myself.
Someone's got to amuse me. Might as well be myself.
Remington Deaf Ranch is a great group that helps deaf youth get beyond drug and/or alcohol addictions. Sales of the jelly go to support the organization.
On another note: if there is anything more beautiful than a mason jar full of delicious with a handwritten label, I want to meet it.
Perhaps the coolest gift this time around was this tea/coffee maker. Bacon Slayer had his eyes on it as a sort of French Press system for his coffee. Normally, I am a very giving wife and I'll share my stuff with my beloved, but in this case I smacked his hand and said "Git!" Coffee & I don't get along. I can't have his coffee grounds tainting the integrity of my tea pot. Especially a way cool infuser model such as this one.
Allow the tea time to steep for the specified time stated for optimum flavor. In this case, 5 minutes was recommended, but in reality? I set my tea to steeping while I do other things, and come back to it when I remember that I was making a cup of tea. Could be 5 minutes. Could be 3 hours. Depends on the day.
the trip-lever depresses and the tea drains into the mug. How cool is that? I'll be honest–my boys and I were brewing tea all-the-live-long-day when this puppy arrived. We had so much fun! We were also very well caffeinated that day.
Even Miss Daisy got in on the One Kitchen, Many Hearts fun. She sniffed out a bag of sweet potato-carob pupper treats before I had finished unpacking the box. We did what any good owners would do, and gave her 3 of them. Daisy then proceeded to spend the rest of the evening boring a hole through me with her eyes, waiting for me to cave and give her more treats. Which I most certainly did not! OK, maybe I gave her one more when no one was looking.
Thank you Allison for making me smile! This month was a lot of fun.
I mailed a box of goodies to Kat this time around. Kat bequeathed me the Award for Heaviest Box. To see what I sent her, click on over to TenaciouslyYours to check out the goods.
Have you discovered any cool new kitchen gadgets lately?
Do you see a new season as a time to change nail and clothing color palettes?
I love the tea/coffee maker (& the nailpolish :)). I'll have to let LCB know about the hatch chilies - he's always game for trying both new foods and new variations of "hot" in his food.
I think The Universe was speaking to you when you sent me that tea infuser - Mads sent me tea in our last box and I still hadn't sourced one. Hello, daymaker. See also: I cannot WAIT to see what those Hatches make their way into! And by that, I mean...Make Lisa Proud.
What would we do without Lisa Fain to guide our erstwhile Northern Ways?
Awesome box! Love that tea infuser. I think I might have to find one for my brother-in-law, Saint David. I have his name for the family Christmas gift exchange this year, and he's a big hot tea guy. My mom would love one, too. Guess I'll be e-mailing Allison soon. I love that she sent fresh Hatch chilies. I'm a hoarder of these when they're in season and they're kismet with your cayenne nail polish. We just found prickly pear cactus fruiting in Austin last weekend. Now I wish I'd picked a bucket load of them. I was thinking 'margarita syrup' but now that jelly is haunting me. I love our OKMH boxes so very much.

Will I Ever Be the Same Again?:
Transforming the Face of Depression
& Anxiety (Kivler Communications)
by Carol A. Kivler
Depression is one of the most common yet misunderstood illnesses. In her book, "Will I Ever Be the Same Again? Transforming the Face of Depression & Anxiety," the author discusses the illness and its many treatments. One treatment is known as Electroconvulsive Therapy, or ECT for short.
Despite living a charmed life with a successful husband, fantastic kids, and never having to struggle—the author is no exception from the disease that affected her life from the inside out. In her book, she describes depression as "The Beast" that slowly eats away her zest for life, robbing her of her joy almost as quickly as it came.
The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, the author describes her journey through depression and the steps she took to live in recovery. When the Beast came over and plagued her life, she nearly lost herself in its toxicity. Fortunately, the support from her family and an empathetic nurse at a mental health care facility convinced her that ECT may just be the solution for her.
After overcoming her prejudices about the treatment and seeing that medication didn't do much, she finally took the plunge and underwent regular sessions.
In the second part, she discusses her Courageous Recovery Wellness Model, which is meant to guide readers on how to reach overall wellness. In the last and final part, she answers a few questions readers may have as she shares her journey eight years later.
The author provides excellent insight into the stigma that surrounds depression. While society has certainly improved since her diagnosis in the 90s, there are still myths surrounding the multiple treatments that involve this disease. One is ECT, which the media had demonized over the years. With a thorough description of her experience, the author successfully explores how safe and effective it can be.
With all these features in mind, I encourage anyone willing to learn about depression and ECT. Whether you are a sufferer of the disease, a concerned family member, or even a health care provider. The author relays valuable information that stays with you as you finish the final pages.

An Olympic-bound luger is speaking out against a perceived undercurrent of negative feeling toward the 2010 Games in Whistler.
Regan Lauscher used her blog to tell people about some recent experiences she's had in Whistler since coming here to train.
"I'm not talking about the majority of people," she said after training for the fastest sliding track in the word on Blackcomb Mountain Tuesday.
"And people are absolutely allowed to have their opinions and be anti-Olympic or not. But we didn't choose to disrupt the community of Whistler. In fact, we were excited because we thought our (Canadian) communities are going to be the first people to get behind us."
In her blog she states that she is less afraid of the resort's black bears than she is of wearing her team colours or letting people know she is from Alberta.
"We were dumbfounded by the lecture we got at Meadow Park Sports Centre for being too aggressive with the gym equipment and bringing too many people into the facility," she wrote.
Lauscher said she and her team members recognize that the Olympics will bring change to the way the community operates for a few weeks but the long-term legacy is worth it.
She points to Calgary's 1988 Winter Olympics as an example.
"Coming from Calgary we have personally experienced the benefits of the 1988 Olympics and been given the opportunities that we have been given from it," said Lauscher.
"And it extends beyond sport. It is something that we feel that we can share with everybody, whether you are a sports fan or not.
"Our hope is for people to really embrace it. It is a journey that we would hope that everybody would want to be part of.
"My suit doesn't say Regan Lauscher. It has a maple leaf of Canada on it."
Whistler Mayor Ken Melamed said he would be looking into what happened at the Meadow Parks Sports Centre.
"I will be looking into the situation and what is happening at the sport centre and making sure that we are providing support," he said.
Melamed admitted that it is a concern for Whistler to have these types of negative comments in the media. But, he said, he wants athletes to know that Whistler is behind them.
"That is the reality, that there are people who are opposed (to the Olympics) and that is their right and we recognize that," he said.
"I just say to the athletes, go forward... knowing you have the full support of the rest of us and we are doing everything we can to make sure you are fully supported so you can do your best during the Games."
Said Whistler resident Brian Buchholz: "I am shocked and disappointed.
"Any frustrations that I see as a member of the community are directed to the (International Olympic Committee) or (the Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee) or the (Resort Municipality of Whistler). But I have not seen anybody whisper a frustration or a transfer of that frustration to athletes.
"I certainly don't support it. I love the Olympics."


I've been wanting to try taking a photo with heart shaped bokeh for awhile now, & last week I got my chance!
After reading this handy tutorial, I immediately set out to draw up some templates for lens covers that I could remove & replace, which would allow me to play with the focus as much as I wanted.
Want to try it out yourself? Here's a pdf template I drew up for you! Now your world can light up with heart & star shaped wonder too!
Love the pinks in the second image here, just lovely and dreamy.

JOHNNY CRASHED WITHDRAWS FROM TRUMP INAUGURATION CEREMONY
Somewhere, Maine - In a surprising reversal outlaw country music legend / marijuana farmer Johnny Crashed has withdrawn from the Trump Inauguration Ceremony where he was scheduled to play his classic "Everybody Wants to Be King" right before the swearing in of President Elect Trump.
Below is the full text of the open letter Crashed posted to his Facebook page.
To all my fans:
As many of you know I was invited and initially accepted an invitation to play at the upcoming inauguration of President Elect Trump. The truth is that Mr. Trump and I go back a long way. Back in the late seventies I was living in the Lower East Side of NYC and met the Donald (or the Douche as we called him behind his back) through mutual call girls we frequented. From 1979- 1981 I believe I was his principle cocaine dealer. We may have even done some gay shit in a hot tub with Rick James once. He had money. I had drugs. It was a match made for the times.
Still I was surprised to get the invitation seeing as I haven't spoken to him in thirty years and the only thing we have in common nowadays is the desire to bang his daughter. Plus I had left that scene and started my journey towards cannabis while he continued paying hookers to snort coke off his dick. To each their own I always say. But when the invitation arrived I felt a wave of nostalgia come over me and I rationalized my performing as perhaps just the thing he needed to realize that he was a huge pile of dog shit and perhaps change his ways.
But as it came down to the wire and everyone but the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Rockette's and Toby *#%$& Keith had withdrawn I did some hard thinking. Frankly I was ok with sharing a stage with the choir and the dancing girls but no f---ing way am I opening for that flag waving, crappy song writing, fake cowboy, moron, Toby Keith. I would rather spend a night having sex with Hillary Clinton while her husband jerked off at the side of the bed.
So to all my friends and fans, my apologies. I was temporarily blinded by the possibilities of getting a career bounce out of this gig. I'm still sitting on 400 of the 500 CD's I ordered of my last CD. I could really have used the help paying for my antibiotics.
Johnny Crashed
A Trump campaign spokesperson denied that Mr. Trump had any kind of gay sex with Mr. Crashed as he was always too busy "grabbing 'da pussy".


Tag-Out Cover/Attractant Scent is a Soy Bean oil-base product that will not evaporate like other water base products on the market today, also this product will not be washed away in the rain or heavy dew.
Place a small amount of Tag-Out Cover/Attractant Scent 4-5 places waist high on limbs, grass, brush, etc surrounding your stand location. Scent can also be in trails, over scrapes to stop and position animals giving you time to make the shot.
You can also apply scent directly to boots, drag line or directly to clothing to mask human odor. Tag-Out Cover/Attractant Scent works great for deer, bear, hogs, etc.

How Indiana politicians reacted to the Florida school shooting
By: Matt McKinney
INDIANAPOLIS -- Seventeen people were killed in a mass shooting Wednesday at a Florida high school.
The shooting happened at around 2:30 p.m., at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The suspect, 18-year-old Nikolas Cruz was taken into custody about an hour after the shooting. He is a former student of the school, according to the local sheriff.

Deep Brain Stimulation/
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a type of brain stimulation therapy that was first developed to reduce uncontrollable movements and other problems of Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and essential tremor when symptoms cannot be adequately treated with medications. It is an experimental treatment for some psychiatric and other conditions. DBS takes place in a hospital operating room. It involves the implantation of a pair of electrodes in the brain and their control by a generator implanted in the chest to provide continuous stimulation to a targeted area of the brain. DBS electrical frequency and level is personalized for the individual. The patient's head is numbed with local anesthesia so no pain is felt, and the patient is awake to provide feedback to the surgeon. The head is shaved and attached to a frame to keep it from moving during surgery. Using MRI and CT scans as a guide, the surgeon drills two holes in the skull and places electrodes into the brain on each side of a specific area associated with the diagnosis. Wires from the electrodes are guided under the skin to the chest, where they are attached to small, battery-powered generators. The procedure carries a small risk of infection or bleeding.
Why UAB
UAB is one of the leading and largest deep brain stimulation (DBS) centers in the nation, performing about 100 DBS treatments annually. UAB was an early pioneer in DBS, and its physicians have a long and successful track record with the treatment. UAB neurologists have repeatedly been named among the top doctors in the United States. Supporting these physicians is a team of researchers who work in numerous areas, from basic science to clinical work with patients. Through national clinical trials and UAB's own research, new therapies often are available to patients years before they hit the market.
Deep brain stimulation to treat Parkinson's Disease
Treating Parkinson's Disease and other movement disorders with deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves the placement of a small device (called a neurostimulator) in the body to deliver tiny electrical impulses to leads (wires) in the brain. These impulses correct the brain activity that causes tremors and involuntary movements associated with Parkinson's Disease and other movement disorders. The benefits are usually visible immediately after the patient wakes up from surgery and the neurostimulator is turned on.

By Michael D. Abayateye
The Regional Maritime University (RMU) on Saturday conferred Honorary Doctorate on former President, John Agyekum Kufuor and President of Sierra Leone, Julius Maada Bio.
The Honorary Doctor of Letters, Honoris Causa, was presented to former President Kufuor during the 13th Congregation of the RMU, in recognition of his exemplary leadership and elevating the then Regional Maritime Academy (RMA) into a university status in 2007.
His citation read, "You have distinguished yourself as an astute politician, legislator, statesman and a football enthusiast and administrator who dedicated your entire life to the development of the people of the Republic of Ghana since the Second Republic through to the Third Republic and as the second president under the Fourth Republic of Ghana, till present."
It continued, "During your leadership, you strengthened and gave impetus to the tenets of democracy, the rule of law, social justice, social and economic government and equal opportunity for all Ghanaians to realise their God-given talents."
The citation further read, "The Academic Council of the RMU, in deciding on this award noted that throughout your life you have made several contributions to humanity. The Council specifically recognises the bold initiative by your government in elevating the then RMA into a university status in October 25, 2007. The Council also took note of the admission of the RMU by your government onto the list of beneficiaries of the Ghana Education Trust Fund which subsequently funded a 400-room capacity hostel for the university."
On his part, President, Maada Bio received the Honorary Degree in recognition of the country's commitment as one of the five founding member states to the growth and progress of the RMU since the signing of the Headquarters Agreement in 1983.
Former Rector of the RMU, Capt Aaron Obeng Turkson, was also awarded the Degree of Honorary Doctor of Maritime Affairs, Honoris Causa for his dedication to the RMU as a lecturer and by dint of hard work, rising through the ranks to the high office of Rector in 2000.
In his acceptance speech, Ex-President Kufuor, commended the RMU for their efforts over the years to become the premier university as far as maritime studies is concerned.
"The work of the university is unique and glad that the RMU has matured over the years to assist the country in providing the needed workforce for the maritime industry," he stated.
The former President added that, as the country continues to discover oil and other minerals, personnel would be needed to make use of the discoveries for the benefit of the economy.
He urged the university to strategically link with industry to ensure that students were exposed to practical work before completing their courses at RMU.
Speaking on behalf of President Nana Akufo Addo, Minister of Transport, Kwaku Asiamah, congratulated the awardees and the RMU for honouring the distinguished individuals.
He commended former President Kufuor for raising RMU to the current status and making it an icon in maritime education.
"Government would collaborate with the RMU to triple their intake in order to train personnel to boost the maritime industry," Mr Asiamah noted.
Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof Elvis Nyarko, urged the graduating students to apply the knowledge and skills they acquired over the years to build the nation.
"Use the practical aspects of your education to improve upon the standards at your various workplaces in order to stand out in the competitive world," he stated.
In all, a total of 396 students graduated with bachelor's degrees and diploma in various fields including 329 bachelors and 67 diplomas.

Q: Objective C equivalent DES encryption/decryption of JAVA code Hi I have a webservice written in java, which I use for android app. Now I have to develop the same app for iPhone so I want to use the same webserver for iPhone. The webservice encrypt/decrypt the strings in DES. I tried to encrypt the string in Objective C which gives me the different result for same mode and same keys.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the code.
This is th Objective C code I wrote (I am new to iPhone development), i used this post
NSString* key = @"abc43HU0";
NSString *token = @"hellohello";

const void *vplainText;

bufferPtrSize = (plainTextBufferSize + kCCBlockSizeDES) & ~(kCCBlockSizeDES - 1);
bufferPtr = malloc( bufferPtrSize * sizeof(uint8_t));
memset((void *)bufferPtr, 0x0, bufferPtrSize);

Byte iv [] = {0x65, 0x110, 0x68, 0x26, 0x69, 0x178, 0x200, 0x219};

We made this piece fro our friend Martin J. Rosenblum of Martin L. Rosenblum & Associates. This was a challenge in that he specified reclaimed chestnut. The material is very expensive and can be difficult to work with. In the end we came up with a very simple finish that allowed the old wood to provide all the character.


Living… on the Heart of Gold spaceship. Zaphod has managed to steal the beautiful ship decked out with large video screens, an excitingly chunky interior, and the latest GPP (Genuine People Personalities) technology. The Heart of Gold is also powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive, allowing the ship to pass through every point in the universe.
Profession… President of the Galaxy – an outrageous job for an outrageous man. Zaphod's main job is actually to distract citizens from noticing what the true rulers are up to, a mission he is more than capable of. Whether it's stealing the Heart of Gold or downing three Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters in one sitting, Zaphod Beeblebrox will accomplish the task with enough pizzazz to garner the attention of a galaxy.
Interests… leading a wild and successful life, which, for some reason, comes incredibly easy to Zaphod Beeblebrox. He didn't even try particularly hard to become the President of the Galaxy. He just decided that he would and suddenly, he was. Trillian believes that Zaphod's triumphs come from the fact that he never truly understands the importance of anything he does. Zaphod thinks that it's because he's "a great and amazing guy." Both theories have their merits.
Relationship Status… dating Trillian, a genius humanoid astrophysicist he met at a fancy dress party he crashed. How very Zaphod of him.
Challenge… uncovering the Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Zaphod has a big plan to discover the secrets of the universe after some jerk forced him to sector off the part of his brain that knew. The only clue to the perpetrator's identity is the initials burnt into the cauterized synapses: Z.B. Who could that possibly be?
Personality… "clever, imaginative, irresponsible, untrustworthy, extrovert, nothing you couldn't have guessed" – at least, that's what the government medical officers' tests showed when Zaphod underwent screening prior to his nomination as President. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's got two heads and three arms that sometimes fight with each other. Most people just think he's a narcissist. Classic Beeblebrox lines like "If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now," make it hard to disagree.
Zaphod Beeblebrox's popularity ranking on CharacTour is #1661 out of 5,000+ characters. See our top-ranked characters and read their profiles.

This book tells the story of the EU Global Strategy (EUGS). By reflecting back on the 2003 European Security Strategy, this book uncovers the background, the process, the content and the follow-up of the EUGS thirteen years later. By framing the EUGS in this broader context, this book is essential for anyone wishing to understand European foreign policy. The author, who drafted the EUGS on behalf of High Representative and Vice President of the Commission (HRVP) Federica Mogherini, uses the lens of the EUGS to provide a broader narrative of the EU and its functioning. Tocci's hybrid role as a scholar and adviser has given her unique access to and knowledge of a wide range of complex structures and actors, all the while remaining sufficiently detached from official processes to retain an observer's eye. This book reflects this hybrid nature: while written by and for scholars, it is not a classic scholarly work, but will appeal to anyone wishing to learn more about the EUGS and European foreign policy more broadly.
Preface by Federica Mogherini.- 1. Introduction.- 2. The Origins.- The Politics.- 4. The Process.- 5. The Content.- The Future.
This book addresses a timely, yet largely overlooked, issue in political science: the integration of migrants in a multilevel polity. It shows how the way in which the policy emerged at EU level affected policy outputs adopted thereafter throughout the policy cycle.
Exploring the development of the European Union, this book examines the ways in which it has been studied over fifty years from the vantage point of four disciplines, each side of the Atlantic, and both academic and practitioner perspectives.
Buchs analyses the goals and instruments of the Open Method of Coordination, discusses approaches which theorize its functioning, examines its policy content and develops a framework for its evaluation. Through the examination of a case study the author demonstrates how policy actors apply the OMC in employment in Germany and the United Kingdom.
Thanks to new transparency rules and increased efforts by scholars, researchers are better equipped than ever before to analyze the decision-making processes of the Council of the European Union and to test old wisdoms. This book covers the most contentious areas and important debates in current research.
Moreover, the book evaluates the eurozone's leadership record since the outbreak of its crisis and helps readers understand the leadership of collective actors, and the extent to which they can contribute to overcoming crisis and fostering European integration.
This book examines new member states' problems with the absorption of EU funds. While existing research mostly emphasizes the role of states' administrative capacities to account for absorption problems, this study adds the so far neglected role of politics as party politicization to the equation.


TOKYO, Japan (CNN) — Sony Corporation announced a new management team and hailed a major reorganization of the electronics and gaming giant on Friday.
Sony's board of directors named Howard Stringer to head the team, adding president to the titles of chairman and CEO, which he already holds.
The changes will become effect April 1 and will include a reorganization of the company into two distinct sections — a networked products and services group and a new consumer products group.
The networked products and service group will include Sony computers, mobile devices, media software and services. The consumer products division will include televisions, digital imaging, as well as home audio and video.
Sony, like many Japanese electronics companies, has been hard hit by the global recession. Last month, Sony warned it will close out the fiscal year with an operating loss of 260 billion yen ($2.9 billion), its first in 14 years.

De Insubres waren een Gallische stam die in de 4e eeuw v.Chr. samen met de Senones, de Boii en Lingones Italië binnenvielen. Onder leiding van Brennus wisten zij de Romeinen een zware nederlaag toe te brengen.
Nadat de Keltische stammen van Rome waren weggetrokken vestigden de Insubres zich in het gebied van het huidige Milaan.

Aan het eind van de 3e eeuw v.Chr. vonden er enkele oorlogen plaats tussen Rome en de Insubres. In 222 v.Chr. werden de Insubres verslagen en werd hun stad ingenomen en herdoopt tot Mediolanum (Milaan). Hun aanvoerder Vertomarus werd gedood.

Tijdens de opmars naar Italië van de Carthaagse veldheer Hannibal enkele jaren later, sloten de Insubres zich bij hem aan en kwamen in opstand tegen Rome. Tijdens de Slag bij de Metaurus in 207 v.Chr. boekten de Romeinen een zeldzame overwinning op de Carthagers in Italië en werden in het bijzonder hun weinig effectieve Gallische bondgenoten door de Romeinen afgeslacht. In 199 v.Chr., toen Hannibal alweer weg was, slaagden ze er nog in een legioen onder leiding van Gnaeus Baebius Tamphilus te verslaan, maar in 197 v.Chr. viel het doek definitief voor de Insubres.

Mandiwanzira warns against publishing unprotected voters roll
By Beaven Dhiwayo on July 12, 2018
Harare – The Minister of ICT and Cyber Security Supa Mandiwanzira on Wednesday issued a statement warning against the publication on the Internet of the voters roll which includes addresses and phone numbers of the voters.
Mandiwanzira said publishing unprotected voters roll is a breach of cyber security.
However his statement does not address the issue where members of the ruling Zanu Pf send personalised messages to registered voters requesting them to vote for Zanu Pf candidates and President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
While responding to questions from journalists on Monday during a press conference at Zimbabwe Electoral Commission offices in the capital ZEC commissioner Netsai Mushonga denied to have sold the electoral database to Zanu Pf saying political parties would have done their market research while Qhubani Moyo accused mobile phone operators of receiving money to share the data.
ZEC chairwoman Justice Priscilla Chigumba denied giving any party registered voters' numbers.
"What I will say in our defence is that, look, we will investigate because what we doing in this room is speculating. We will investigate and find out the source of this data. What you are actually saying in your intervention is, strictly speaking, not correct.
We did have a USSD code where you could actually check whether you were registered to vote during the inspection period, so it's actually not correct to say Zec is the only one which had access to the information, she said."
The explanations given by commisioners who were present at the Monday media brief were not convincing since they did not explain how the ruling party knew people's constituencies.
Since all the messages that were sent to Econet subscribers, Econet had to respond and distance themselves, saying it does not give or sell any customer data to third parties.
"Econet holds customer and client data in the strictest of confidence, in line with the requirements of the law. It does not give or sell any customer data to third parties. The company only shares relevant customer information with regulatory authorities, such POTRAZ, in line with subscriber registration rules and its licensing requirement," said Econet.
Mandiwanzira who is the minister of Information Communication Technology and Cybersecurity responded to this development denouncing it and vowing to take action on those undermining the people's right to privacy.
"The Ministry of ICT & Cyber Security condemns in the strongest of terms the publication on the Internet of the voters roll which includes addresses and phone numbers of the voters. This cyber security breach is unacceptable.
"The Ministry is aware that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission issued a protected copy of the roll while the one that has been published on the internet is unprotected.
"Such data cannot and should not be made public without the permission of the voters themselves. Publication of physical addresses and phone numbers of voters without their authority is an abuse of the internet just as it is unconstitutional," he said.
Mandiwanzira said the ministry will not hesitate take action against those found to be undermining the people's right to privacy.
"The ministry hereby warns those that are publishing the unprotected voters roll and the internet service provider hosting the site to cease their actions immediately.
Analysts however, do not agree with the level of seriousness presented by the minister on the issue saying Mandiwanzira did not say anything about the politicians who send the messages to the voters.
There is a clear indication that members of the ruling party used an accurate database because people got messages that addressed them by name and the messages were coming from the relevant Zanu Pf candidate from their constituency which they will vote in.
Putting an unprotected voters roll on the Internet will put over 5 million registered voters vulnerable to identity thieves, stalkers or plain mischief makers.

About Town: Young Guns Tour Design District's Forthcoming Virgin Hotel
When the Design District's forthcoming Virgin Hotel opens later this year, it will strive to combine a vibrant entertainment atmosphere with a homely vibe in its 268 guest "chambers" (better known outside Richard Branson's empire as "rooms"). One June 6, The Real Estate Council's Young Guns members had a chance to get a sneak preview of the company's third U.S. hotel with a hard-hat tour of the ongoing construction.
Bringing Branson's vision to Dallas – Virgin has already opened hotels in Chicago and San Francisco, with many more set to open across the country in the next few years – has been an exciting challenge for developer Dunhill Partners. Architect Lauren Cadieux with 5G Studio described the challenges in blending the two visions, such as changes to the building's facade. Representatives from Andres Construction described to the Young Guns in attendance how they created "metal lace" on the sides of the building to achieve Virgin's luxurious-yet-whimsical aesthetic, as well as framing with enough flexibility to absorb movement and vibrations from both the building and parking garage.
Tour participant Max Schwartzstein of Providential Realty Partners considered Virgin's design goals one of the most interesting components of the tour, saying "The construction team was very open about the challenges of the construction of this feature and the problems that they had to solve in order to install it. It is obvious that a lot of time and effort has gone into the design and construction of the Virgin Hotel."
Upon entering the hotel, guests will be greeted by the lobby's Commons Club bar and restaurant, which features a racetrack bar, show kitchen, and several semi-private dining areas. Its second floor features a large ballroom with an acoustic ceiling and entertainment space wired for A/V and panoramic views of both Uptown and Downtown Dallas. Entertaining continues outside with an indoor/outdoor poolside bar overlooking Downtown and the Design District.
"Virgin as a brand has such a unique, joyful quality about them that's wonderfully woven throughout the project, said tour participant Randy Streig of 42 Real Estate. "Every room, bar, and corridor has that playful feel that just sets your mind at ease and says, 'Let's have some fun!' We're lucky to have the Virgin hotel in Dallas. Plus, I can't wait to throw a party there!"
Hotel rooms feature light-colored finishes intended to feel home-like, with accents in Virgin's branded red. The design doesn't just focus on hotel guests; the Virgin Hotel also includes comfortable spaces for its 100-plus employees, including light-filled offices and a high-ceilinged "family room."
After the tour, Young Guns gathered at Rodeo Goat to discuss their experience.
"The About Town tours are one of my favorite parts of the Young Guns membership. Each tour is always so informational and we have opportunities to ask questions and get information that we traditionally would never get to know about a property," said Julia Beckman with MBL Title. "I'm so excited to go back once the project is complete to see how everything turns out!"

Japanese food importers on a roll with expansion to Sheffield business park
Asian food and product importers Sushi Sushi have expanded into larger warehouse premises at a North Sheffield business park
The 10-year-old company, which supplies Japanese and Asian food, drinks, packaging, tableware, kitchenware, and merchandise to customers across the UK, was formerly based in Mapplewell in Barnsley, and has taken 3,000 sq ft at the newly developed £2.5m Winston Business Park.
The company, which has served more than 90,000 customers since it started operations in 2008, employs 10 staff and with the move to the estate on Churchill Way at J35a of the M1 they anticipate further expansion.
It joins cutting edge chartered building company Neways who took 6,239 sq ft at the estate, which was acquired and developed by investor Grayson Investments Ltd, for its new Chapeltown headquarters late last year.
Stuart Turner from Sushi Sushi said: "Winston was the perfect solution for us. It was an ideal location for staff and distribution. Furthermore, we deal with many high end restaurants and the image of Winston was an important tick in that box."
A further three new units are currently under offer leaving just three units available from 3,044 sqft – 3,337 sq ft and these can be combined to provide one single unit of 6,674 sq ft.
John Jarman at Knight Frank in Sheffield, said: "The first two lettings by Sushi Sushi and Neways have completed and a further three units are under offer.
"Winston Business Park sits in an established commercial location in north Sheffield forming part of Junction 35a Business Park which already boasts occupiers including South Yorkshire Police, Britglass and Linbrook Services.
"It also adjoins the established Thorncliffe Business Park, which is one of the region's largest out of town business parks and also home to a mixture of office and industrial occupiers including Balfour Beatty and B Braun.
"The development at Winston Business Park offers new, high quality units designed with flexibility to suit the needs of a variety of incoming occupiers and provide much needed stock in a strategic location near the M1."
The premises offer high quality units which feature clad elevations, optional fitted offices, full height roller shutter loading access to the warehouse, connection to all main services and dedicated parking with shared loading areas.
The development fronts onto Churchill Way, which is accessed off Thorncliffe Road, offering easy access to Junctions 35a and 36 of the M1 via the A616.
