The October-November 2012 Ordinary Level Zimsec examination results are out and there is agony and pain. Only 31 767 pupils out of the 172 698, who sat for the 2012 managed to score five or more subjects and this is not a good reflection of the country's education sector. As statistics released by the examinations body have shown, the trend has been repeated over the years and hence it is time to come up with measures that will improve the performance of both Ordinary and Advanced level candidates in the country.
Surely, a solution needs to be found soonest.
Hidden in this general failure of students sitting for the public examinations is the continued low numbers of female students who are passing the exams. The numbers lag behind the male candidates. The girl child is playing second fiddle to the boy child.
According to Zimsec statistics of a total of 268 854 candidates that set for the public examinations last year, only 14 198 females passed the examinations with at least five subjects Grade C or better compared to 17 565 males. This represents a mere 16.4 percent females had passed compared to their male counterparts who recorded 20, 4 percent.
I am sure the trend is repeated at Advanced Level where already the entry female numbers are low. Consequently the trend will be reflected in tertiary institutions in the country. Analysts say the country's universities and colleges despite a deliberate effort to increase female students continue to reflect these trends which is a recipe for disaster. It is true to say over the years and despite the Government's good intentions, Zimbabwe has failed to improve on the performance of females in schools. As such it is important that Zimbabwe's education sector devises ways of improving the performance of female pupils in schools. With education still the getaway to success for most people in the country, it means only few females are getting an opportunity in life. This in itself will help to perpetuate the gender imbalances that exist within the country's social and economic spheres. This calls for concerted efforts to ensure that female students are taught not only of the value of education and that the community give the girl child the same resources and opportunity to build own feature.
It is important that people understand that the low number of female candidates making it through our schools have nothing to do with women's mental capabilities but mostly on the opportunities and gender duties that denied them an opportunity to study and thus excel in examinations.
Girls learning at rural schools are most affected as household chores are mostly reserved for the fairer sex while the boys are discovering the world and reading books. This needs to change if Zimbabwe is to move with times and do justice to the various regional and international conventions, protocols and declarations that seek to promote gender equality that the country has signed. It is also critical that we start early and ensure that the school environment is level. Parents need to ensure that the girl child is given enough time to interact with her books just like what is given to her brother. Gender analysts say there is a need for deliberate effort to improve the performance of girls in schools. These should include encouraging girls to take up science and commercial subjects that have remained a preserve of the boy child. The few girls that have been taking sciences have helped to perpetuate the myth that females are less capable than their male counterparts and this is not good for gender equality. Zimbabwe's noble intentions to achieve gender parity in the country will never be realised if commercial and science subjects remain a male preserve.
Females that succeeded in sciences and business should be used to inspire young girls to do well in these areas. School should use these achievers examples in removing career stereotypes in woman at the earliest possible time. If Zimbabwe is to do justice to Sadc Declaration on Gender and Development and the National Gender Policy that seek to address gender imbalances in all spheres and levels of life, there is a need for the country to ensure girls are equally represented in all subjects and levels. It is, however, critical for society to be reminded that uplifting the girl child should never be done at the expense of the boy child who also requires encouragement to ensure the country pass rate increases. Uplifting the female child at the expense of their male counterparts may force males to go on the defensive hence thwart efforts to realise gender equality.
In fact, Zimbabwe has already set the bar high as one of the most literate states in Africa and we can let that sleep away because of failed planning. The positions that Zimbabwe has achieved in literacy rates and provision of education should spur the nation to greater heights. Government must also increase allocation of funds to school for the provision of amenities to facilitate female learning in the schools and that for parents to make education of their children balanced across gender by promoting and recognizing importance of educating girls.
Time has come to improve the national pass rate.

Spagnola has played these concerts before without incident. Last year, she toured the United States, performing about 15 shows.
"We've received notification that MTU is quite upset with the idea of CFCo hosting your concert. We've hosted various MTU department events over the year and have begun to build our relationship with one of the MTU student groups such that we could serve as the venue for some student events. We were told that MTU would likely cut ties with us if we were to host your concert and I'm afraid we can't risk our long-term relationship with the university for the opportunity to host your concert."Michigan Technological University President Glen Mroz was surprised at the statement and denied this is the case.
"This is the first I've seen this statement," said Mroz. "I don't know who wrote it, but I can say that no one was ever threatened with any reprisals...This is an issue between the organizers and vendors they have under contract. They need to sort it out."
Spagnola confirms that the university initially had no problem with her performing in Houghton, as long it was clear the concert was not affiliated with MTU. "The only communication I received from the university was an email asking me to clarify on my Facebook event that it was unaffiliated with the university and that I shouldn't use their logo," said Spagnola. "I immediately did as they asked, and they thanked me for my very prompt compliance. At that point I assumed they were happy with me. I heard nothing else from them though all of this."
"Someone alerted the authorities about the show and I heard through word of mouth that what we were doing wasn't allowed and they were going to shut it down," Spagnola said. "Once I found that out, I again began scrambling for another option."
The reason for the cancellation, as explained to Spagnola, was three-fold.
"They said the event could not be advertised with a $5 cover. It's illegal to advertise the cost of something at a bar. The fact that the description of my event on Facebook had the word 'game' is also not allowed. The third problem is that I'm not allowed to sell my merchandise. They said it's illegal to sell things that aren't food or alcohol in a bar," Spagnola said.
MTU Alum Adrian Hannah was baffled by this reasoning. "It just feels like whoever contacted The Uphill was grasping at straws to try and do whatever they could to shut it down," Hannah said. "All of the elements of this whole situation put together feels like a concerted effort from one party to keep Ali out of Houghton."
"Never has it been so awesome that so many people were upset. The students and alumni were really supportive of me through all of this and it was amazing to have them so excited for my show. I was absolutely flattered by the fact that there was such an uproar when it didn't work out," said Spagnola.
Even after the concert was canceled, however, it seems someone was still out to keep Spagnola and Professor Shyguy out of Houghton. A local establishment, The Downtowner, offered a room for a Power Hour-less party, but was contacted by the State Police and told they could not comply. Spagnola was also initially unable to find a room in the city.
"MTU even went so far as to try to stop me from having a place to stay. They told students not to let me stay with them. They tried to stop me from sleeping in the city of Houghton! On top of scrambling to find venues, I was scrambling to find somewhere to stay because people had canceled after MTU told them they should. I didn't know that was why at the time. I just thought I was having really bad luck with everything all at once."
While it's possible that someone at the university acted against Spagnola, President Mroz insists the school had no part in keeping Spagnola from performing.
"This is not a university function, nor is it sponsored by any university organization. So Michigan Tech has no say in it," said Mroz.
In the end, Spagnola is disappointed that those who wanted her out of the city didn't contact her in a reasonable manner.
"I really wish whomever was behind all of this would have just came to me in the first place. I was fighting a battle that I couldn't possibly win but I thought I was just fighting against bad luck and circumstances. This whole thing cost me a lot of time, money, hard work and stress," she said. "When I realized I was caused all these troubles not by bad luck but by a specific person or people that were out to thwart my every effort, it felt absolutely awful. I could have been saved all this strain, worry, effort and disappointment if they would have just been straightforward with me instead of silently following my every move and attacking once I'd gotten things set up again and again.
"Despite the fact that my marketing makes what I do seem like all fun and games, this is my livelihood. This is my business and my passion. I lost a huge amount of time and money that could have been spent on things that could have taken my business forward but instead, I was spinning my wheels and getting nowhere after days and days of effort because the people that were out to get me would not speak to me personally."
As of this time, none of the state agencies could be reached for comment.

The ICC status conference for presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta and former head of civil service Francis Muthaura has began.
The status conference for William Ruto and Joshua Sang will be held this afternoon.
Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto opted to attend the pre-trial hearing through video-link instead of traveling to The Hague in order to allow for them to campaign for Kenyatta's presidency bid and the Jubilee coalition.
Their co-accused Francis Muthaura and Joshua Sang are already at The Hague having traveled for the status conference last week.
The location of Uhuru and Ruto's video conference remains a secret for security reasons. Outreach coordinator Maria Kamara said the venue had been agreed accord by the court and the Kenyan authorities.
The four are accused of fueling the violence that rocked Kenya after the 2007 General Elections.Two of the suspects Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto are running together on a presidential ticket in the March 4 elections.
The trials are expected to begin in April. In the event that there is no outright winner in the March 4 poll, Kenya is set to hold a runoff on the 11th of April at the same time as the trial.
Last week Uhuru Kenyatta had applied to have the start of his case pushed forward to give room for his participation in the run-off. Presiding Judge Kuniko Ozaki has said the issue of the trial date will be decided by the pre trial chamber after reviewing submissions f

Kristen Stewart On Her Nude Scenes: It's Weird to "Watch Your Ass With Your Mom"
Kristen Stewart is giving new meaning to the words "new moon."
The Twilight star tells Hollywood Life that her parents found it "difficult" to watch her nude scenes in her upcoming film, On the Road.
On the Road has been delayed for quite some time, and Kristen admits that might be for the best, given the potential awkwardness of watching the nude scenes with her folks.
"I think everyone was really happy that it took a few years for the movie to get made," Kristen says with a laugh. "My mom came to Cannes. She loved it. She was really proud. I haven't talked to my dad about it yet." Gulp.
Kristen acknowledges that watching these scenes can be tough for her. "I know it's funny to talk about it from an outsider's perspective, like 'Oh, it must be weird to sit down and watch your ass with your mom' or whatever, but it's so weird being on the inside of it," Kristen says.
"I don't want to say that I'm watching another person at all because what I love about my job is aspects of life that you relate to, but you didn't quite know you had in you, can shock the s**t out of you and so the process of making the movie is finding out why you responded that way," she continues.
It's safe to say that Kristen's nude scenes just might "shock the s**t" out of her dad, too.

More Details
(1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
(2 – 3 Years)
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.

As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts.

6 Secret Ways to Turn Her On
By: Sarah Miller

Replace Bottles on a Watercooler
Modern life, what with its dearth of catapults, marauding wolves, and barn raisings, doesn't provide men with many opportunities to show off their brute strength. It's a very lucky accident that in the midst of all this ease-making progress, we've managed to poison our drinking-water supply.
And since somebody has to replace those unwieldy 5-gallon plastic containers on the office cooler, it might as well be you. It's such a quick, easy way to make the chicks in the office sit up and take notice of your athletic prowess. You know those bottles aren't that heavy, but who cares, because women think they are, Hercules.
Alternative: If you don't have a watercooler in your office, be the first to offer your man power when a stalled or stuck-in-the-snow car needs a push. You want to make your point and then get back to work. There's a reason they call it "the strong, silent type."

N00B Ride Report
So this year the planned trips both out and while there got thrown to the four winds once the ride actually got started.
Met up Thursday morning with Luv2Race in Glendora. We headed out and decided to mix things up a bit on the way out so we started our ride with a quick jaunt up
Cleghorn to get around the Cohon Pass, avoiding the 15 stretch through the pass. This got us warmed up and was a good shake down ride for him since this was his first time taking the 990 out fully loaded with gear for the weekend.
Here we had just come out on 138 to take a break.
Originally we were planning to take the escape route on our way into camp but circumstances prevented that from happening so we just continued up the road after getting back to pavement and continued on our way to Camp. We rolled into camp around 3:30 and set about setting up camp.
I was bunking with RobG but he was nowhere to be found (there is a story here) and the RV was locked. Meanwhile I kept hearing this whining sound coming from the tent next to his RV. Turned out Joe was locked in the tent and it was getting hot in there. I let him out and took the poor guy across the street for a drink and to get some shade. The owner what no-where to be found (remember the story I mentioned well it plays into this situation).
So I just lounged around camp and waited for Rob to return...
and waited...and waited..till about 8:30
It was then determined that Rob was out on a ride with Cowgirl and Macadamia, and Macadamia had not mover for 1.5 hours, at the base of Lippencott on Saline Valley. It was then determined that we had to go investigate so two trucks were deployed.
Bob (lonestar2112), Dave (DSM8), and John (JNYRAV)
It took two hours to get to his location, passing Rob and Cowgirl on the way in they told us he was waiting and so we just kept going. Finally found his and the bike, turned out it was a loose positive batt cable
Bike loaded in the truck (photo thanks to Macadamia)
The drive out was brutal we finally got back to camp after 2:30 by that time I had been up almost 20 hours. This contributed to the breakdown of plans for the ride on
Next morning saw the aftermath of the ride on Cowgirls bike....
So woke up on Friday after a very long day and short night of sleep. I was beat and Rob was too from being out riding all day as well. He got back at 1:30. Since the original plan for that day was going to be a 250 mile ride we decided instead to do the Escape route which was the original plan when coming in on Friday.
Luv2Race, RobG and I headed out bout 10:30 and rode down to Trona to pick up the entry point for the ride, the plan was Escape route, Ballarat, Charcole Kilns to the top then back to camp.
Here are the three of us getting started on the loop...
RobG scoping out the ride ahead.
While along the way to Ballarat the O2 sensor plug blew out on the header pipe of the bike so out in the middle of the sand wash we had to implement a repair, I don't have any pics but I know a few will be coming, it was a real bitch and due to the hole facing the inside of the tank, running it without the plug was not an option, it would have melted the gas tank.
We then decided to head out to Telescope peak past the Kilns. Easy ride on dirt the to Wildrose. Not much excitement but it was a good way to end the ride.
At that altitude hiking took its toll.
But the view was worth it.
We stopped at the kilns for obligatory photos.
So we get back to camp in time to catch the natives gettin frisky and a riding presentation was taking place as well.
Then people lined up for dinner
Ended the evening with a great view...good way to end day 1
Next day the plan was Hunter Mountain - Racetrack - Lippencott
Part way up there was a get off the rider was luckily unhurt but had a pretty good blow to the elbow which put him out of commission he decided to be safe and turned back to camp.
Tank pretty good indicator of the hit he took.
The crew:
RobG (Robert) KLX250 (not in pic)
Lonestar2112 (Bob) XR650L
RWG65 (Ron) XR400
Dainbramage (Dain) DRZ400
Azsimpson (Christer) WR250
Big dude in jacket is Steve don't know his screen name, he was on the Beta.
Coming up Saline Valley this was the fun part flat and fast.
Hit some pretty good mud holes up on top of the mountain..
No one was willing to try riding through it though...
We made a side trip to the cabin.
There was some bear marks on a tree as well
From there we went out to tea kettle junction. Found the infamous silt bed.
Everyone made it through...for the most part (fall was not riding related).
The junction
And where did this come from?
We headed out to the race track, wind was so bad we had a dust brown out for a good distance while riding past the grand stand. We stopped on the far side to get some pics of the racing rocks.
From there we headed out to Lippencott. Myself and another rider went ahead and after a while were wondering what was taking them so long. Turned out one of the ADV folk showed up in a truck after we left and they had a beer. And didn't even think to bring one back for either of us...bastards..
Made in back to camp in time for dinner and raffle. The wind was really picking up and it got damn cold. No pics of that part of the evening, battery was dead in the camera by then.

Global News: The USA tells Canada Just Say "No" To Marijuaa Legalization
Worried about the Canadian Senate Comittee findings about the harmlessness of marijuana and the possibility of marijuana legalization in Canada, the US Drug Czar has threatened trade sanctions against Canada unless the Amerikan style War on Drugs is enforced.
The U.S does it again! Well, there is one consolation regarding the trade sactions: if we legalize marijuana, the increase to tourism might help balance the books against whatever action the U.S takes.
some one musta got stoned, and forgot to load the video....
Canada should tell the us to sod off in action and in words..The us auto industry is so well ensconced in Canada the unions will not let a catastrophe happend. Grow more bud!!
an excellent and exciting piece of (new) news... damn fuckin usa..... growup
It's not BC Bud that the US gov't is afraid of. They're afraid of the revolution that would take place in the US if Canada loosened its MJ laws. It would put a spotlight on the irrationality of current US policy and the they would be forced to change too.
The US Drug Policy Advisor said Canada will antagonize the US if we "insist on moving toward a radical drug policy." The def'n of "radical": to take a long time seriously looking at the facts about marijuana and then to tell the truth about what you find.
Boycott Amerika!
I've had it! Put up a fuckin fence, gaurd it with as many men as you want, drink your own water, put the rest of your citizens in jail, blow up more buildings to cover up your legit crimes BUT STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY COUNTRY!
Great!! Great!! This is Awsome news!! Legalize canada for the sake of freedom and it will all fall!! If you do I will visit your contry and bring my $$$$$ Guaranteed!! Canadas time is now!! Because you are the great white north, with green heart!!
The plot thickens...this is getting good. The whole 'botched' grow show in Flin Flon is just a smoke screen ordered from Uncle Sam...no doubt some of that weed is more than good...lets not kid ourselves we're under their thumb as Mick would say...
As soon as I get my engineering degree, I'm outta this shitty country that they call the "land of the free and the home of the brave"
talk about state sponsored terrorism
big brother wants to teach us a lesson to late hahahahahahahaha we do not need you will join cuba any day of the week and stand proud
Only $$$ talks! In fact, it squaks! All the freedom loving folks of Amerika need to boycott Amerika and come to Canada NOW! Shake the dust off your shoes. You will NEVER be free again, unless you oppose tyranny with ACTION. Flee the Beast!
Money just doesn't talk, it squawks! Hit the pocket-book nerve by boycotting Amerika! Amerika has gone totally FASCIST!! NORML and all theo other drug reform groups need to SPLIT! I'm serious! The wise spilt from Germany. Prohibition = FASCISM!
The US are like bully kids on the schoolground. When will they wake up. The war was lost long ago when we all started growing our own.
Hey amerikan POW's come to Canada and enjoy the taste of freedom. Curious George and his oily friends can go and threaten countries that give a fuck.
The US Spokesman looks like a skeleton with a comb-over. Funny how the prohibitionists are so scary looking, Betty Sembler, Lynda Bental. John Ashcroft, Nancy Reagan, etc. Bush is the anti-christ 666,
This is disgusting! We are heart beats away from legalization and the only thing stopping us is the bullies to the south. I pray that Canada will show some dignity and make the right choice instead of the economical one.
Considering how much we Canadians hate the Americains telling us what to do how come this has not raised more response from Canadians? I saw the interview on Global but not on CTV, CBC, or CityTV, why? Every Canadian should see this!!!
Ha! Did you see the cop dusting the bulb for prints? All growers know to never put your oily fingers or hands on a bulb! This is some sick government machine we have here in the US. Canadians MUST pressure their govt. not to give in!!
I mean, this IS a direct challenge to Canada's sovereignty! My (U.S.) government needs to account for this irrational behavior. The incredible "threat" that my government feels from MJ, needs to be publicly and internationally analyzed and debated.
Even with the u.s. sanctioning Canada, in the long run it would be 100 percent more economical for Canada to legalize pot!!!!!!
I hope you all die soon with no medicine so you suffer a long painfull death, you earned it !
allen rock sucks the american cock.
We'd save billions in health costs, billions more in wasted justice resources and gain still more billions from taxes, tourism and increased trade with Holland. I say the Yanks can go clone themselves...we don't need their bloody drugwarbucks!
OK, americans, you have your own country and your own citizens to opress. please leave ours alone.... "The drug war is over. Drugs won."
This is outrageous... i really hope canada doesn't take any s**t from the US, although traditionally we usually go along with just about anything the US wants.. Here's to marijuana legalization in canada!!
OOhhhhh scary whats the US gonna do put tariffs on our lumber. F*$k them the earlier we legalize the sooner they will have to follow. CDN govn't get a F$%kn backbone and stick it to em for once otherwise we may as well be the 51 state.
no tarriff marijuana stores pot cafes at each canadian border crossing

I'm all for the fights taking place but Showtime is showing a lack value for their shows. It has become the 'we will take anything that GB offers' network. Why in the world would people subscribe for shows like this and I read earlier that the Ishe Smith-K9 card will also push through and headline. I'm glad I canceled cable.

Still can't understand why they can't just cut Gusev a check to step aside and move Russell into the main event against Ponce.

Ponce's people probably don't want any of Gary Russell Jr to be honest.
