Q: If $a^3+a^2+a=9b^3+b^2+b$ and $a,b$ are integers then show $a-b$ is a perfect cube. If $a^3+a^2+a=9b^3+b^2+b$ and $a,b$ are integers then show $a-b$ is a perfect cube.
My attempt:I factorized it like below:
$(a-b)(a^2+b^2+ab+a+b+1)=8b^3=(2b)^3$
I take $gcd(a-b,a^2+b^2+ab+a+b+1)=d$
If $d=1$ then it is clear that $a-b$ is a perfect cube then consider $d>1$ then there is a $p$ that is prime and $p \mid d$.We have :
$p\mid a-b \Rightarrow p \mid (2b)^3 \Rightarrow p \mid 2b \Rightarrow p\mid 2$ or $p\mid b$
If $p\mid b$ then also $p\mid a$ (as $p\mid a-b$ holds). Then we will get to $p \mid 1$ because:
$ p \mid a^2+b^2+ab+a+b,p \mid a^2+b^2+ab+a+b+1 \Rightarrow p \mid 1$
which is clearly wrong then we have $p\mid 2$ so $p=2$ means $d=2^k$ where $k$ is a natural number including $0$.In the case $d=1$ we have the right result.So assemble $k \ge 1$.Because $2 \mid a-b$ we can conclude that $a,b$ have the same parity @Ghartal showed in his answer that if $a,b$ are both even we have a right result but if $a,b$ are both odd we don't.So maybe we have to prove $a,b$ can,t be both odd.

A: Note: This is not a complete solution. It may give others some clues.
We have that $$(a-b)(a^2+b^2+ab+a+b+1)=8b^3 \tag{1}$$ Let
$$d=\gcd(a-b, a^2+b^2+ab+a+b+1).$$
And let $p$ be an odd prime divisor of $d$. Then $p \mid a-b$ and $p \mid b$. It follows that $p|a$. Since $p \mid a^2+b^2+ab+a+b+1$ we get $p \mid 1$. Contradiction. Thus only prime divisor of $d$ is $2$.
From equation $(1)$ observe that $a$ and $b$ have the same parity. Thus $a-b$ is even. So let $a-b=c=2^k (2l+1)$, where $l$ is an integer. Equation $(1)$ becomes.
$$c(3b^2+c^2+3bc+2b+c+1)=8b^3 \tag{2}$$
Notice that if $b$ is an even number then $3b^2+c^2+3bc+2b+c+1$ will be odd. Hence
$$d=\gcd\big(c, 3b^2+c^2+3bc+2b+c+1\big)=1.$$ And $c$ is a perfect cube. Now, suppose that $b$ is odd. Then, since $3b^2+1 \equiv 0 \pmod{4}$ we get
$$3b^2+c^2+3bc+2b+c+1=3b^2+1+c(c+1+3b)+2b \\ =4m+2b=2(2m+b)$$Thus the highest power of $2$ dividing LHS of equation $(2)$ is $k+1$. And since $v_2($RHS$)=3$ we get that $k=2$. Thus $a-b=4(2l+1)$ cannot be a cube.
Maybe in this case there is no solution for the equation at all.

A: If $a-b=0\Longrightarrow b=0$ and $a-b$ is a perfect cube.
Also $a=0\Longleftrightarrow b=0$ and $a-b$ is a perfect cube.

Assume $a-b\ne0~\wedge~a\ne0~\wedge~b\ne0$.
Let's factorize $a^3+a^2+a=9b^3+b^2+b$.
$\begin{array}{rrcl}
& (a^3-b^3)+(a^2-b^2)+(a-b) & = & 8b^3\\
\Longrightarrow & (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)+(a-b)(a+b)+(a-b) & = & 8b^3\\
\Longrightarrow & (a-b)(a^2+b^2+ab+a+b+1) & = & (2b)^3\\
\Longrightarrow & (a-b)\big(a^2+b^2+a(b+1)+(b+1)\big) & = & (2b)^3\\
\Longrightarrow & \underbrace{(a-b)}_X\underbrace{\big(a^2+b^2+(a+1)(b+1)\big)}_Y & = & (2b)^3
\end{array}$
Define $d=\gcd(X,Y)$.
Suppose $d>1\Longrightarrow\exists p\in\mathbb{N}:p\mid d$ and $p$ is prime.
Suppose $p>2\Longrightarrow p\mid X\Longrightarrow p\mid8b^3\Longrightarrow p\mid b^3\Longrightarrow p\mid b$.
Then $p\mid X~\wedge~p\mid b\Longrightarrow p\mid a\Longrightarrow p\mid a^2~\wedge~p\mid b^2$.
Then $p\mid Y~\wedge~p\mid(Y-1)\Longrightarrow p\mid1$.
Contradiction because $p>1\Longrightarrow p=2~\vee~d=1$.
If $a$ and $b$ are either both even neither both odd, then $X$ is odd and $a^2+b^2$ is odd and $(a+1)(b+1)$ is even, then $Y$ is odd so $2\nmid d$, and that's a contradiction because $8\mid XY$.
So $a$ and $b$ have the same parity, then $2\mid X$.
Suppose both $a$ and $b$ are even, then $a^2+b^2$ is even and $(a+1)(b+1)$ is odd, then $Y$ is odd. So $\gcd(X,Y)=1$, then $a-b$ is a perfect cube (it's easy to prove it).
Suppose both $a$ and $b$ are odd, then $\gcd(X,Y)=2$.
Also $\gcd(X,b)=1$, since $X\mid8b^3\Longrightarrow X\mid8\Longrightarrow8\le|X|\le8$.
But $|X|\ne8$ otherwise $Y\mid b^3$ but $2\mid Y\Longrightarrow2\mid b$.
Contradiction because $2\nmid b\Longrightarrow|X|=2~\wedge~|X|=4$.
Note: From now, the exercise contains a lot of work of pick & spade.
Since $\gcd(X,b)=\gcd(a-b,b)=1\Longrightarrow\gcd(a,b)=1$ (It's easy to prove it).
We have $a^3+a^2+a=9b^3+b^2+b\Longrightarrow a(\underbrace{a^2+a+1}_A)=b(\underbrace{9b^2+b+1}_B)$
Then $a\mid B~\wedge~b\mid A$.
Let's define $f(x)=x^3+x^2+x$ and $g(x)=9x^3+x^2+x$, so we need $f(a)=g(b)$.

*

*First case: $a-b=2\Longrightarrow a=b+2~\wedge~b=a-2$.
$\begin{array}{rclcl}
A & = & a^2+a+1 & & \\
& = & (b+2)^2+(b+2)+1 & & \\
& = & b^2+4b+4+b+2+1 & & \\
& = & b^2+5b+7 & \Longrightarrow & b=\pm1~\vee~b=\pm7\\
B & = & 9b^2+b+1\\
& = & 9(a-2)^2+(a-2)+1\\
& = & 9a^2-36a+36+a-2+1\\
& = & 9a^2-35a+35 & \Longrightarrow & a=\pm1~\vee~a=\pm5~\vee~a=\pm7~\vee~a=\pm35
\end{array}$
Here are only two possible solutions $(a,b)\in\left\{(1,-1),(-5,-7)\right\}$.
But there are no solutions for this case because $\forall a,b:f(a)\ne g(b)$.

*Second case: $a-b=-2\Longrightarrow a=b-2~\wedge~b=a+2$.
$\begin{array}{rclcl}
A & = & a^2+a+1 & & \\
& = & (b-2)^2+(b-2)+1 & & \\
& = & b^2-4b+4+b-2+1 & & \\
& = & b^2-3b+3 & \Longrightarrow & b=\pm1~\vee~b=\pm3\\
B & = & 9b^2+b+1\\
& = & 9(a+2)^2+(a+2)+1\\
& = & 9a^2+36a+36+a+2+1\\
& = & 9a^2+37a+39 & \Longrightarrow & a=\pm1~\vee~a=\pm3~\vee~a=\pm13~\vee~a=\pm39
\end{array}$
Here are only three possible solutions $(a,b)\in\left\{(-1,1),(1,3),(-3,-1)\right\}$.
But there are no solutions for this case because $\forall a,b:f(a)\ne g(b)$.

*Third case: $a-b=4\Longrightarrow a=b+4~\wedge~b=a-4$.
$\begin{array}{rclcl}
A & = & a^2+a+1 & & \\
& = & (b+4)^2+(b+4)+1 & & \\
& = & b^2+8b+16+b+4+1 & & \\
& = & b^2+9b+21 & \Longrightarrow & b=\pm1~\vee~b=\pm3~\vee~b=\pm7~\vee~b=\pm21\\
B & = & 9b^2+b+1\\
& = & 9(a-4)^2+(a-4)+1\\
& = & 9a^2-72a+144+a-4+1\\
& = & 9a^2-71a+141 & \Longrightarrow & a=\pm1~\vee~a=\pm3~\vee~a=\pm47~\vee~a=\pm141
\end{array}$
Here are only three possible solutions $(a,b)\in\left\{(1,-3),(3,-1),(-3,-7)\right\}$.
But there are no solutions for this case because $\forall a,b:f(a)\ne g(b)$.

*Fourth case: $a-b=-4\Longrightarrow a=b-4~\wedge~b=a+4$.
$\begin{array}{rclcl}
A & = & a^2+a+1 & & \\
& = & (b-4)^2+(b-4)+1 & & \\
& = & b^2-8b+16+b-4+1 & & \\
& = & b^2-7b+13 & \Longrightarrow & b=\pm1~\vee~b=\pm13\\
B & = & 9b^2+b+1\\
& = & 9(a+4)^2+(a+4)+1\\
& = & 9a^2+72a+144+a+4+1\\
& = & 9a^2+73a+149 & \Longrightarrow & a=\pm1~\vee~a=\pm141
\end{array}$
Here are no possible solutions $(a,b)\in\left\{\right\}$.
But there are no solutions for this case because $\forall a,b:f(a)\ne g(b)$.

So it is proved.
PD: also I think $a=b=0$ is the unique (integer) solution for this equation, but I haven't proved this, what I proved is $a-b$ is a perfect cube and both $a$ and $b$ are even for all solutions to this equation.

A: It turns out that there are only two rational solutions of
$a^3+a^2+a = 9b^3+b^2+b$.  One is the obvious integer solution
$(a,b)=(0,0)$, for which $a-b$ is the cube $0$.
The other is $(a,b) = (-7/5, -3/5)$, for which $a-b = -4/5$
is not a cube but $a,b$ are not integers.  So $a-b$ is indeed
a cube for all the integer solutions, as desired.
The proof that there are no other rational solutions is elementary,
but requires Fermat's method of descent.  The equation
$a^3+a^2+a = 9b^3+b^2+b$ defines a smooth cubic curve with
a rational point at $(a,b)=(0,0)$, so it's an elliptic curve
that we can bring to standard form $y^2=\text{cubic}(x)$ by
projecting from the origin.
Let $(a,b)$ be any rational solution other than $(0,0)$.
Then $b\neq 0$ because the nonzero solutions of $a^3+a^2+a$
are not rational (or even real). Write $a=mb$ and divide by $b$ to get
$$
(9-m^3) b^2 + (1-m^2) b + (1-m) = 0.
$$
This equation is quadratic in $b$, so it has rational solutions iff
the discriminant is a square.  The discriminant is
$$
-3 m^4 + 4 m^3 - 2 m^2 + 36 m - 35 = (1-m)(3m-7)(m^2+2m+5).
$$
Taking $m=1$ yields $8b^2 = 0$, so we're back to the $b=0$ solution;
and $m=7/3$ yields $-4(5b+3)^2/27 = 0$, so $b=-3/5$ and $a=-7/5$.
We claim that there are no other solutions.
If $m\neq 1$ we may write $m = 1+(8/x)$ and calculate
$$
-3 m^4 + 4 m^3 - 2 m^2 + 36 m - 35 = \frac{2^8}{x^4} (x^3-2x^2-16x-48),
$$
so we seek rational points on the elliptic curve
$$
y^2 = x^3-2x^2-16x-48 = (x-6)(x^2+4x+8)
$$
other than the "point at infinity".
The point $(x,y)=(6,0)$ brings us back to $m = 1 + (8/6) = 7/3$,
and it turns out there are no others.  Since the cubic on the right-hand side
has a linear factor, we can try to prove this using Fermat's descent,
which turns out to be enough.  But these days there are other
resources we can try first: Cremona's mwrank or the
LMFDB, and either of these
tells us that there are no other solutions and that Fermat-style descent
suffices to prove it.  In the case of mwrank we'd need a bit of
additional computation to exclude other torsion points, so let's go the
database route: enter the coefficients [0,-2,0,-16,-48] into the
"curve, label or isogeny class label" search window for
elliptic curves
over $\bf Q$, and find the entry for
this curve of
conductor 544 (which is small enough that it's also in Cremona's book).
We find that the curve has only the known two torsion points
and rank zero, and moreover that the 2-part of the Tate-Shafarevich group
is trivial, so a 2-descent suffices to establish rank zero.
This completes the proof.

A: Revised proof:
We have $(a-b)(a^2 + b^2 + ab + a + b + 1) = (2b)^3$
From OP, we see that if $p$ divides $d$ then $p$ divides $2b \implies p \mid 2$ or $p \mid b$.
Assume $p$ doesn't divide $2$.
$p \mid b \implies p \mid a$ but then $p$ does not divide $a^2+b^2+ab +a+b+1$.
Therefore $p=1$ or $p=2$. If $p=1$ then $a-b$ is a cube.
If $p=2$ then since $p$ does not divide $b$ both $a$ and $b$ are odd.
Now $a^2 + b^2 + ab + a + b + 1 \ne 0 \mod 4$. Therefore largest power
 of $2$ in $a^2 + b^2 + ab + a + b + 1$ is $2$.
Largest power of $2$ in $a-b$ should be $4$ (as $b$ is odd)
So one possibility is $a-b = 4m^3$ and $a^2 + b^2 + ab + a + b + 1 = 2n^3$ where $b = mn$
I guess I am stuck at this point.

A: Let us consider the Diophantine equation
$$(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2+a+b+1) = 8b^3.\tag1$$
Let $\ \gcd(a,b) = d.$
$\text{If }\mathbf {d > 1,}\text{ then }a=md,\quad b=nd,\quad \gcd(m,n) = 1,$
$$(m-n)\left((m^2+mn+n^2)d^2 + (m+n)d + 1\right) = 8d^2n^3.\tag2$$
${\text{If }\mathbf{2\mid d},\ \text{then}}$
$$2\mid m-n,\quad 2\nmid (m^2+mn+n^2)d^2 + (m+n)d + 1,$$
$$d\mid m-n,\quad \gcd(d, m^2+mn+n^2)d^2 + (m+n)d + 1) = 1,$$
so
$$m-n=\pm8d^2,\quad (m^2+mn+n^2)d^2 + (m+n)d + 1 = \pm n^3,$$
$$a-b = \pm8d^3 = (\pm2d)^3.$$
$\text{If }\mathbf {(d > 2)\wedge (d\nmid2),}\text{ then the case } (2\nmid m+n)\text{ contradicts with (2), so }$
$$2\nmid m,\quad 2\nmid n,\quad (m-n=\pm 2d^2) \vee (m-n = \pm4d^2),$$
$$\left[\begin{align}
&\begin{cases}
m = n\pm2d^2\\
4d^6 - 3d^2n(n\pm2d^2) + 2d(n\pm d^2) + 1 = \pm4n^3
\end{cases}\\
&\begin{cases}
m = n\pm4d^2\\
16d^6 - 3d^2n(n\pm4d^2) + 2d(n\pm2d^3) + 1 = \pm2n^3,
\end{cases}
\end{align}\right.$$
$$\left[\begin{align}
&\begin{cases}
m = n\pm2d^2\\
\mp4n^3 - 3d^2n^2 + 2d(1\mp3d^3)n + 4d^6 \pm2d^3  + 1 = 0
\end{cases}\\
&\begin{cases}
m = n\pm4d^2\\
\mp2n^3 - 3d^2n^2 + 2d(1\mp6d^2)n + 16d^6 \pm4d^3 + 1 = 0,
\end{cases}
\end{align}\right.$$
and both of systems leads to the same equation without solutions
$$d^2n^2+1\equiv0\pmod4.$$
$\text{If }\mathbf {d = 1,}\text{ then the proof of the previous case is valid. Solutions also do not.}$
Thus, the issue equation has the integer solutions only in the case $\mathbf{2\nmid \gcd(a,b)},$
when $\mathbf{a-b}\ $ is a perfect cube.


Two very important anniversaries occurred this November. The first, occurring onNovember 6, was the 57th Presidential election. The second, which helped make the first possible, is the 93rd observance of Veterans Day. Today I read numerous emails from politicians and other public officials of every stripe, party and ideology praising efforts of our veterans. Public officials and citizens alike will often take some time to recognize and honor veterans. Recently, the words "Thank you for your service" have come to warm the cockles of many veterans, young and old. Unfortunately, the actions of our government do not always echo the warm words. The government promises to not leave us behind, many veterans have trouble catching up.
I have worked in VA law since before I came an attorney, taking my own case up to the Supreme Court of the United States. My frustration with the VA and with the veterans law system was part of the reason why I became an attorney. A system that advertises itself as non adversarial and paternal is instead confrontational and dismissive. Bureaucracy has replaced benevolence and it seems that many in government consider veterans an interruption fo their work rather than the reason for it.
When I was up in Washington this past September I had the opportunity to meet with the staff members from the House and Senate Veterans Committee. I challenged them to call the toll free veterans hotline and see how long it took to get an answer. My advice to them was to put the phone on speaker and continue their work because they would wait a very long time for an answer. My average wait time is 90 minutes. Many of you have certainly waited longer. I will be back in DC next week and will look forward to asking them about that experience or whether they even tried it.
The veterans hotline, or perhaps I should say cold line, – you can die of old age waiting for an answer – is one symptom of the problem Backlogs are increasing. When I first filed a claim took six months to resolve. My last request for a reassessment is at eleven months and counting. We have continued to throw money at the problem with no success. Instead we have hired more government workers who do not know how to process claims or simply refuse to do so.
At the center of the problem is the Board of Veterans Appeals. Currently, over 50% of the appeals from the Board are remanded back from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims because they are not ready for the court to consider. Most of them are then returned to the Regional Office. The process takes months and years to resolve. None of the records, or at least not may of them, are digitalized. Paper files are mailed back and forth and sit for days on end in mail rooms. Each time a file is returned, it must go through the intake process. Papers go missing or are duplicated and the file grows fatter while the veteran grows older.
There is no compatibility between the DOD records and the VA system. Medical and service record should be seamless. They are not. Different systems, different record keeping procedures and different programs that do not talk to each other.
In the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, three judgeships were vacant for most of the year. One still is. Congress authorized additional judgeships but they were not filled. As a result, the backlog continues to grow.
Attorneys are not allowed to participate for pay at the Regional office level. As a result, Veterans Service Officers throughout the country, of varying education, background and knowledge, file the initial claims. They often do not have complete access to all medical records and must wait until the Claims file is complete before requesting it. More importantly, the VA has no outreach program to train the VSOs, leaving them to their own devices or to receive the training their sponsoring organization provides. No lessons learned or videos on how to file a claim have been distributed by the VA.
To top it off, the Regional Offices use the VA M 21-MR manual to process claims, while the Board of Veterans Appeals and the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims uses the Code of Federal Regulations.
The answer to the problem is simple. Process the claim quickly and do it right the first time. Train the people reviewing the claim and train the people submitting the claim. Scrap the veterans hotline and allow the preparer to talk directly with the reviewer. Stop filling up the file with useless paperwork and communicate.
Have you ever read a statement of the case that the VA issues if the veteran wishes to appeal a denial? 3/4 of it is taken up with quotations from statutes and the Code of Federal Regulations - many of which are inapplicable to the case. These quotes are the actual language of the statute or regulation and not summarized in layman's terms. As an attorney my eyes sometimes glaze over when reading these documents. Just think about the poor guy or gal out there trying to do it on their own.
Bottom line, the Veterans benefits system as become more about form than substance This must change. St. Tammany President Pat Brister has appointed a Veterans and Military Advisory Counsel that is trying to take on some of these problems. A new non-profit, Military-Veterans Advocacy Inc., will be starting up next year. And Loyola Law School has expressed an interest in establishing a Veterans Legal Clinic.
These are starts in the right direction but true reform must come from Congress. Much work must still be done to ensure that there is adequate treatment and compensation for the victims of Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome and new victims of the burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. We must work hard to establish Veterans Courts to process veterans who are charged with minor offenses that are symptomatic of PTSD.
The nation of Australia has fought beside the United States in every war of the last and current century. They have taken the lead in caring for their veterans and track the physical and mental health of every veteran from time of discharge until their death. Unlike our own system, they outreach to veterans and their families and work tirelessly to discover new areas where veterans treatment is required. Perhaps it is too late to establish such a program for the veterans of past wars - the numbers may be too great. But we can start with the veterans of today and over time keep the promise made by President Abraham Lincoln, "To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan."
Everyone talks the talk on Veterans Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and occasionally Armed Forced Day. It is time to walk the walk 365 days of the year. We have just finished electing a President and a Congress. There were a few words bandied around by both parties but where is the plan? Where is the action? As veterans and as those who support veterans, it is time for us to demand action and not words from our elected leaders. When we meet our Congressmen and Senators ask them what are you doing for veterans. Take a minute to educate yourself. All bills filed are online www.thomas.gov. Use the search engine for the word veteran and you will find dozens of bills supporting veterans. The texts of the bills are available as well as a list of sponsors. If your Congressman and Senator is not a co-sponsor to a bill that you think is meritorious, ask them why. Carry a copy of the bill with you and let them look at it. Then require a response. Or write them a letter and ask the same question. These letters are read and the Congressmen and Senators are briefed on them. I know when I meet with staff members and occasionally with Members of Congress. They tell me when they have heard about the issue from their constituents. Always remember – they work for you.
I hope that I have not painted too bleak a picture because believe it or not, the system works. But it only works if you make it work. The VA needs to be overhauled but it will not happen until enough people contact Congress and demand it. Individual letters from constituents rather than mass emailouts is the best approach.
We enjoy our freedom today because of our veterans. It is time to put action behind the words. Veterans are being left behind. That needs to stop. Not only must we include those returning today but we must do a better job of taking care of those who have served before. We must work together to ensure that all veterans receive the care and the benefits they have earned. Thank you.


The Zimbabwean economy is going through structural regression, with rapid deindustrialisation, burgeoning external debt, an over 85% formal unemployment rate and nominal growth due to declining investment and a biting liquidity crunch. Between 2011 and 2015 over 4,610 companies closed their doors leaving over 55 000 workers redundant, putting further pressure on a cash-strapped population. This year's harvest has failed due to insufficient rain while a regional maize shortage and empty government coffers will leave thousands without sufficient food. Within the ruling ZANU-PF, a battle rages between the emergent successor to President Robert Mugabe and his rival – disgraced former Vice President Joice Mujuru – who holds the latent support of a significant number of the ruling party's major players. While the country faces a growing crisis and the ruling party turns in on itself, the battle-weary opposition has lost momentum and is facing its own internal crises, leaving fatigued citizens to trudge on with few credible prospects for change.
Once the darling of the Western world and seen to embody a David and Goliath struggle against an increasingly authoritarian state, Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T) has faced a crisis of declining popular support and legitimacy. The 2008 elections were a watershed moment for the party, the zenith of their support in the once-prosperous country. The MDC had gained massive popular support since its inception in 1999 as a broad movement to bring democracy and development to Zimbabwe. It was an alliance that fused trade unions, professional associations, student movements and NGOs and presented a broadside against the long-serving Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) held government. Prior to the emergence of the MDC, opposition in Zimbabwe had been largely fragmented and ineffective, offering little challenge to the regime's hegemony. Between 1999 and 2008 the MDC largely went from strength to strength, challenging ZANU-PF's dominance and winning local government seats in urban centres and a growing parliamentary presence, much to the chagrin of the ruling party.
But 2008 was to be a significant turning point for both the opposition and the country. Following the hotly-contested 2008 elections, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission stalled the release of the presidential results for five weeks, ultimately announcing that there had been no clear winner. This necessitated a run-off election, but the regime used the intervening weeks to unleash a campaign of violence and intimidation on voters and party members. Over 200 people were reported to have been killed or disappeared between the March general election and the run-off on 27 June. SADC and the South African government intervened, negotiating a five year transitional government – known as the Government of National Unity (GNU) – which would ultimately undermine the MDC's position and strip them of much of the credibility that they had held prior to 2008. In a surprising moment of candour at the ZANU-PF congress in December 2014, President Robert Mugabe accidentally let slip that the opposition had in fact won the contentious 2008 polls by an astounding 73%.
Ahead of the 2013 elections, the party appeared quietly divided with some of the leadership confident that the party's support base had changed little since 2008, while others were increasingly concerned about declining popular support evidenced by a number of opinion polls released by organisations such as Freedom House and the Afrobarometer.
As results were announced in early August 2013 following the general election on 31 July, it became increasingly clear that the party had miscalculated. The party saw its 100 parliamentary seats decline to just 70 of a total 270, leaving ZANU-PF with over two-thirds control of parliament. There were widespread allegations of rigging and electoral interference – allegations that were certainly justified – but it is also clear that the opposition party failed to read the popular mood. Quiet disagreements over "˜leadership renewal' within the halls of Harvest House became more vocal, culminating in a fracas outside party headquarters that led to dissidents being unceremoniously removed from the MDC-T in April 2014. The group of those who left included international donor-darling and technocrat Tendai Biti, respected party Guardian Council Chairperson Sekai Holland and outspoken Deputy Treasurer-General Elton Mangoma. These individuals and a significant group then convened what they temporarily named the MDC "˜Renewal Team' with Holland as acting president.
For over a year, little was heard of the once-mighty MDC-T besides continuing protestations about the stolen election. In late October 2014, the party held its convention and circled the wagons around the party presidency. Following two insurrections – in 2005 and 2014 – from the person occupying the post of Secretary General, the party felt that the presidency should be strengthened and the SG position made to be subordinate. The issue of succession that had prompted the 2014 split was never debated and Morgan Tsvangirai remained undisputed at the party's helm. The party had planned rolling demonstrations for late 2014 – to be reminiscent of those in the late 1990s which led to the formation of the broad opposition movement – but this large-scale mobilisation is yet to materialise. The ability of the party to undertake significant protest efforts has been greatly undermined by the informalisation of labour in Zimbabwe and the demobilisation of both labour unions and broad civil society movements.
For their part, the Renewal Team began a regrouping exercise. They recently announced their intention to unite with the splinter faction of the MDC led by Welshman Ncube – formed after the 2005 split – under the banner of the United Movement for Democratic Change (UMDC). The Ncube MDC has played an important though divisive role in Zimbabwean politics since 2005, undermining the voting base of the MDC-T in the opposition-friendly Matabeleland Provinces and presenting the potential for opposition collaboration during the GNU that sadly never materialised. However, this nascent alliance is yet to be formalised – this is scheduled for August 2015 – and discussions over its composition are reportedly bogged down by leadership struggles as people from both parties try to protect their positions and maximise their gains from the embryonic alliance.
On the international front, donors became increasingly pragmatic towards Zimbabwe towards the end of the GNU, realising that they would have little choice but to work with whichever party achieved power in 2013. There was a noticeable shift to understanding that an end to the crisis in Zimbabwe was more likely to emerge from incremental changes within the existing ruling elite rather than through the rupture produced by an opposition election victory. They began to soften on ZANU-PF, lifting sanctions on all but the inner core of the regime. After a 15-year undulating "˜crisis' in the Southern African country, most of the Western world appears to suffer from Zimbabwe-fatigue which has forced the country further off the international agenda. This has only been compounded by multiple crises closer to Europe such as the conflict in Syria, the 2014 Ebola outbreak and the rise of the extremist and increasingly-globalised Islamic State (IS). By comparison, Zimbabwe is a state that appears to hobble on in spite of itself, presenting few threats to global stability and holding little geostrategic importance.
The opposition in Zimbabwe appears to be in a state of disarray, wracked by struggles over ego and positions. On 18 March, 21 MDC-T MPs who had joined the Renewal Team were expelled from parliament at the request of the MDC, further undermining the ability of the opposition to hold the ruling party to account in parliament. This short-sighted move will prompt by-elections in 14 constituencies which are likely to be won by the ruling party, further undermining the voice of the opposition within the legislature. For their part, the MDC-T had resolved at their policy conference in October 2014 that they would not contest any further elections until the playing field had been levelled, leaving constituents in their former strongholds with no alternative to the ZANU- PF party machine. The loss of these seats is likely to make it even more difficult for the party to regain ground in 2018 while citizens are abandoned and left to vote in elections without choices.
While the opposition dithers, the people of Zimbabwe struggle under increasingly dire conditions. In recent weeks, there is a palpable tension in the air following a food riot in Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison and protests by students at the University of Zimbabwe which were violently suppressed by police and the university temporarily closed. Outspoken activist Itai Dzamara was abducted – allegedly by state security officers – on 9 March and has not been seen since, prompting fears about a return to the dark days of disappearances and extra-judicial killings of Zimbabwean dissidents. Little hope for change remains in Harare but Zimbabweans continue to do what they have always done, they find new ways to survive under increasingly adverse circumstances.

Saying it like it is, well articulated.Infact the MDC-T President intends to go round constituencies explaining HIS reasons for non participation in future elections!
Please write about what matters most.The Xenophobic violence in South Africa.The burning of hard-working foreigners by Zulus in Durban and Joburg.How King Zwelithini spends 54 million rands a year buying expensive cars and building new palaces for her 6 wives and 80 children.
Excellent summary of the situation.
A Civic Civil Social Democratic Lamentation Reflection on the acute civic civil social malaise existent in Zimbabwe a country rife with promise once this current criminal leadership oligarchy is removed from governance and power.
My appreciation and understanding of the 'democracy confidence trap' is that the civic civil electoral democratic process procedure is adaptable to change. Change in the long run can and will mitigate against robust change urgency engendering civic social complacency as in lacking justifiable cause to implement prescriptive normative change in democratic governance belief in the alleged knowledge that the civic civil democratic electoral system is resilient to the 'stress test'.
An unavoidable frustration of our civic civil electoral democratic system of governance is that punishment commensurate with the scale of the crisis or political public opprobrium is rarely implemented. Defeated despots or dictators can be executed by the mob. Defeated democratic politicians retire with a comfortable pension to reflect and create their self serving memoir reflections.
Elections reinforce the inconclusive ambiguous quality of civic civil democratic process as change is introduced but not political public policy closure. In 1919, Max Weber wrote astringently that his idea of democracy is a system in which elected leaders are granted absolute unbridled powers, on the understanding that if the leadership fails to descriptively implement and enhance citizen strengthening policy in the advancement of a good life, the electorate can send them all to the gallows to be summarily executed. But this is not how modern present day democracy is calibrated. In democracies, there is no absolute final settling of social civic accounts, rather, only an endless putting off of the inevitable what if. Democracies are usually prone to mistake their political public surroundings and stumble on in creating and generating more complex social public difficulties within the respective nation. Knowing and understanding these difficulties does not provide us with 'the' answer but rather knowing and keening is resilient important!


"SRL strategies of university students: A qualitative account" by Effat Alvi, Zafar Iqbal et al.
Students' conceptions of how they initiate, plan, implement and monitor self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies have practical implications for teaching and learning. This study explores the nature and use of SRL strategies employed by university students as it occurs in naturalistic settings, for example, studying in non-classroom environments. Framed within the social cognitive perspective, it focuses on a group of students from an under-researched population. Focus group interviews were used to elicit information about the nature of SRL strategies and contexts for their use. The findings reveal that students employ a range of SRL strategies, from shallow to cognitively rich and deep processing. Furthermore, the use of SRL strategies alters under different contextual influences such as personal goals, SRL phase specific conditions, semester and academic capabilities.

Do you start with a credit score of '0'?
When you think about it, credit scores have a lot in common with the SATs: They stress people out, involve tough-to-answer questions and play a huge role in determining whether your applications (albeit for financing) get denied .
There's another notable similarity, too, which you may not know about: When it comes to credit scores, you can't get a zero.
Some specialty scores, including the FICO Industry Option scores, have a lower minimum (250), but, generally, no matter what model we're talking about, "you don't start at zero and, let's say, work your way up to a respectable score over time," Barry Paperno, a credit scoring expert who worked at FICO for many years and now writes for SpeakingofCredit.com, said in an email.
You also don't really start at a 350. That's because until you meet a model's minimum criteria, you won't have any score at all. In that case, the credit bureaus will let a lender (or landlord or cable company or anyone else requesting your credit as part of their application process) know that you're score-less.
"When a score can't be computed because the credit report doesn't meet the minimum scoring criteria, an alpha or numeric 'exclusion code' is transmitted to the requester indicating one, that no score can be calculated, and two, a general reason why the credit report didn't meet the minimum scoring requirements," Paperno said.
Moreover, once you meet this criteria, you could conceivably find you have a decent score — so long, of course, as you're using your credit account(s) responsibly.
"For instance, you can be 18-years-old with a secured card opened six months ago, pay on time every month, keep a low utilization, and your first score can be in the high 600s," Paperno said.
Remember, to build good credit in the long-term, you want to make all loan payments on time, keep the amount of debt you owe below at least 30%, and ideally 10%, of your total available credit limit(s), and add a mix of accounts to your credit file as your score and your wallet can handle it. You can track your progress toward building good credit by viewing two of your credit scores for free each month on Credit.com.

An editor largely remains on the margins of the writings of others, although it is their primary job to select and often edit collaboratively the selected texts for the journals being helmed by them.
Ironic but true! A director behind the camera.
As a species, they have to be away from the centre and move voluntarily to the outskirts, the edges of the world, created by another mind, in ecstasy as some might claim. At best, the editors can introduce those regions or voices to their sets of audiences---and sometimes, improve a poetic piece as Ezra Pound did, decades ago, in an era now light years away from the digital one; an age where the personal counted and mentoring was the convention for senior writers and editors. All that is over now in the 21st century.
Well, Ezra Pound did that with a young poet.
We no longer have that kind of talent available these days. Both Pound and T.S. Eliot changed the reading tastes and inaugurated new sensibilities via their initial collaboration on a text now considered seminal.
Current epoch is pedestrian one, dominated by high-tech and computing technology.
Imagination seems to be in crisis and form and technique also.
Operating from the margins of a literate culture, an editor tries desperately to bring vitality and the freshness of a voice. Not an easy task in a mass market driven by formulas!
Every month, at Setu, we try to perform those twin tasks only--- to select voices that are refreshing and original and worth your time, dear reader.
July-2018 edition is no exception to that governing principle.
A plethora of content that will keep you engaged.
All thanks to your patronage and love of the contributors.
Another feature that makes us a stand-out journal is the classics revisited. This time, our special guest is Alberto Moravia.
Do visit and enjoy the splendors of a Moravian country.
You would love the roller-coaster view.
So, please, read every selected creative featured here in this monthly harvest of the best, full of vitality.
"Operating from the margins of a literate culture, an editor tries desperately to bring vitality and the freshness of a voice. Not an easy task in a mass market driven by formulas!" An evocative observation by the unique Sunil Sharma.
Thanks Atreya Sir. You always inspire us.

Crematorium accident sends smoke with human ashes into California sky
An accident at a San Diego County crematorium sent heavy smoke up in the air containing ashes of human remains.
The incident was reported at 12:15 p.m. at the Cortez Family Crematorium in National City, according to ABC News affiliate KGTV.
National City Fire Captain Brian Krebs told the station that the furnace was in use, but the oven door failed to close. This sent heavy smoke out of the chimney as well as the open doors of the building.
There were human remains in the smoke, Krebs confirmed.
The smoke activated the building's fire extinguisher, creating a toxic smell.
The plume containing the human remains moved east across National City Boulevard and Broadway toward a shopping center containing a Best Buy and a Walmart, a witness told KGTV. The smoke continued for at least half an hour.
The possible health impact of inhaling the smoke is unclear. KGTV said it has reached out to San Diego County health officials about the incident.
KGTV contributed to this report.
