Zimbabweans are on edge because maybe, just maybe, the crisis of sorts that has riddled the nation could very well be over. The hunger, poverty, displacement, and disenfranchisement could all end. And that hope, that glimmer of an end, is all the more reason to be on edge because the status quo is beyond untenable. How did we get here? President Robert Mugabe and ZANU-PF miscalculated and they miscalculated badly. First, they misjudged when they assumed that the legislative concessions they granted in the Mbeki mediated pre-election talks would not come back to haunt them. Prior to the elections, Patrick Chinamasa, the Justice Minister, agreed to curtail the despotic extremes of three pieces of legislation: the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA), the Public Order and Security Act (POSA), and the Electoral Act (EA). AIPPA was amended to make it easier for foreign journalists and Zimbabweans working for foreign entities to operate. The change to POSA — that political parties only had to notify the police as opposed to request their sanction before the held rallies — proved to be pivotal in the MDC’s ability to broadcast their message. The EA changed in two important ways that proved to be ZANU-PF’s unraveling. First, the act created an autonomous electoral commission — the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC). Not only was ZEC created, but many brave Zimbabweans who served the commission disposed of their mission impartially and stood up to ZANU-PF in keeping with their constitutional mandate, something for which they are now being persecuted. Further, changes to the EA compelled that results from each polling station be posted publicly as soon as they had been counted. Second, ZANU-PF grossly underestimated the opposition’s ability to get organized and offer stiff competition. The MDC mobilized a campaign that featured candidates in most of the contested council, parliamentary, and senate seats nationwide and, of course, Tsvangirai — the bane of Mugabe’s despotism. They were also able to deploy a massive amount of polling officers to over 9,000 polling stations, They not only observed the process, but vitally recorded and archived the results before relaying them back to party’s central command. This made cheating very difficult and is the reason the MDC beat ZEC to the ball when it came time to announce results. But third and most importantly, ZANU-PF underestimated the people’s discontent with the party. They expected the Zimbabwean people to carry their load one too many times. They relied on their decade-old denigration of the opposition as stooges of the west just a little too much. And all of a sudden, the very people whose subjugation ZANU had come to expect turned their backs on the party, leaving them exposed. ZANU has no one else to blame for this but themselves. The MDC has persistently increased their electoral winnings each time they have contested an election. ZANU’s strategists should have paid this widely apparent trend more attention, but they didn’t. So here we are.

    The Pick Up: 5 Sex & Dating New Year's Resolutions
    Welcome to 2013. If you’re like most people, you’ve made a bunch of New Year’s Resolutions. And if you’re like most people, they won’t last past February.This year, try a new approach.?The experts at Love Systems (the self-help gurus for dating advice for men) have shown that people who focus on inputs, like “I’m going to skip dessert every Thursday” have a lot more success than people who focus on outcomes, like “I’m going to lose 25 pounds this year.”With that in mind, I’ve been helping guys solve their love lives for 10 years now, and I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. I have five New Year’s Resolutions for guys who want to get better with women. That’s it. Print these out, paste them on your wall and hold yourself accountable.You’ll thank me later.Find and Communicate Your Passion and PurposeBeing good with women is different from being good at coach factory outlet just about anything else. If I want to be great at guitar or basketball, I should spend as much time studying and playing coach factory guitar or basketball as I can. But if your life revolves around meeting women, it’s counterproductive. That kind of lifestyle doesn’t make you very interesting to most women.?Find your passion and purpose. Get used to explaining it in a way that other people, especially women, find compelling. It’s better to have genuine passion for your Star Trek memorabilia than it is to pretend that you’re into something because you think she’ll think it’s attractive. It’s the passion and emotional energy that she’ll respond to anyway.For example, I play and design board games coach factory in my spare time. When I talk about that, I don’t talk about the mechanics of dice roll modifiers or card-driven systems. I talk about when I was kid, a lot of my interaction with my family came over games, and even though you can do everything better on computers now, it’s really a great feeling to know that you designed something fun that brings people together in the same room for good times. It’s cooking a great meal, but that people can enjoy over and over. Any woman can relate to that.PracticeBut still, you do have to work for your goals. If you want to be happy with your dating life, you need to practice. This isn’t because there’s anything wrong with you.? It’s because women practice their social and flirting skills all the time. They can’t help it. An attractive, outgoing, social woman is going to have people wanting to talk to her quite often. To be on her level, you need to practice too.A good habit to get into is never letting an attractive woman go by without talking to her. If you need to plan to go to the mall or the club or various events so that enough attractive women cross your path for this resolution to be meaningful, go for it. But don’t cheat yourself. Make yourself approach, and don’t leave the conversation (unless she cheap coach backpacks does) for at least five minutes.?You’re not going to be interested in every woman you meet, but if you get good at starting the conversation, breaking the ice and flirting, you’ll be in a great position when Ms. Right does come along.?Get Good “Wingmen”Studies show that people who share their goals with others remain more committed and accountable to them. So, there’s that.There’s also the fact that meeting women is MUCH more fun and MUCH easier when you’re out with like-minded friends. You can do well picking up women alone if you know what you’re doing, but it’s definitely not the ideal.If you don’t have any suitable friends in your area, try the wingman forum on The Attraction Forums.Upgrade Your "First Impression”Studies have shown that women will often decide whether a man is a “no” or a “maybe” within 30 to 90 seconds of meeting him. It absolutely pays off to make sure you pass that first test. It starts with fashion and hair but it goes beyond that—your body language is hugely important.The great thing about body language is that unlike, say, going on a date, body language is something you can practice 24/7, even when there are no women around.Body language can get super detailed, but a few key elements are most important.? If you find yourself doing any of these, then pick ONE and fix it. Tell all of your friends that you’re working on (for example) eye contact and ask them to let you know any time your eye contact isn’t solid. Set your phone to vibrate every hour to “spot check” whatever you’re working on, until it’s a habit you don’t think about anymore.Eye contact – 90 percent of the time when you’re talking, 70 percent of the time when you’re listening.Controlled movements – Like Derek Cajun (a Love Systems http://www.ccoachfactoryoutlets.com/ Master Instructor) says, “move like you’re moving underwater.”Smile – Not a big plastered-on smile, but look friendly. It will help your mood, too.Shoulders back – Don’t hunch forward.Stand tall – Keep your coach factory head up.? Don’t look at the ground when you walk.Be Man Enough to Get HelpMost men aren't “naturally” good at attracting women. Some guys learn from watching older brothers or friends. Others won the genetic lottery. For everyone else, there’s hope—but you’re going to have to make it happen. And men tend not to want to admit that they could use help in this area of their lives.Women don’t have this problem. They ask for and share advice all the time—and get much more personal than most men. This gives women a social advantage.What kind of help? Start by looking through these? columns—there are almost 20 of them now, each on a different topic. Or remember that wingman forum I was talking about earlier? It’s also a great (and free) place to ask questions and get answers. Check it out.To your success in 2013!Nick Savoy is a dating coach for men, and President of Love Systems, an international dating consultancy. Since 2004, it has successfully helped over 10,000 men get married, find a girlfriend, get their ex back or know exactly what to do at the bar or party on Saturday night.

    Porn for Women
    Cindy Gallop, an extravagant New Yorker/advertising consultant, dates younger men, preferably those who are still in their early twenties. This preference is something she’s very open about. Not only is she open about her inclinations, herve leger dresses she’s open about her sex life, which is something that caused quite a stir at TED2009 in Long Beach, California when she stepped out on stage and said, “When I date younger men, I have sex with younger men. And when I have sex with younger men I encounter very directly and personally the real ramifications of the creeping ubiquity of hardcore pornography in our culture.”She’s right. There is a huge disconnect between what women want in bed and what is currently being produced in pornography. When we watch a woman being drilled by a man who’s bending her into some risqué Cirque du Soleil position to the point of shrill orgasmic ecstasy, it becomes ingrained in our brains that these are the things we need to do in bed to please our partner, which is not always so. It’s okay to watch pornography with a far-fetched storyline; it’s just that what’s being portrayed on-screen is not what most women want, which is something, it seems, men of a certain age are finding difficult to differentiate.“At the moment, 99.9 percent of all mainstream mass-market porn is made by men for men,” Gallop explained. I contacted her to ask if she thought it was a good idea for boyfriends to bring porn into the bedroom after a particularly distraught reader wrote in about his botched attempt to watch Let's Play Anal Twister with his girlfriend. “I have to explain to guys that women like sex and porn, too. But when we get ourselves off, we have to watch the porn that’s made for guys…it’s entirely male-centric in its worldview and it doesn’t take into account at all women’s needs, wants and desires.”Despite pornography being mass-produced almost immediately after the invention of the camera, it wasn’t until the 1970s that most companies even toyed with herve leger dress the idea of creating porn for the female demographic.While the erotica industry kept the visually explicit material strictly for the boys, women were climbing the ranks of new media, which eventually led to the 1972 April edition of Cosmopolitan, which contained the now-infamous nude shot of Burt Reynolds on a fur rug as a male centerfold. “At the time, you know, men liked to look at women naked. Well, nobody talked about it, but women liked to look at men naked,” explained Editor Helen Gurley Brown in The Improbable First Century of Cosmopolitan Magazine. “I did.” Burt Reynolds, sexual pioneer? Kind of.After the centerfold hit the shelves, there was an immediate shift in the world of pornography. It was now apparent that women, once thought to be strictly nonvisual creatures, liked to get off to graphic material and couldn’t be quenched by the eager flip of a page in an erotic novel.Playgirl began publication the following year, promptly selling out its first 600,000 copies. Other women’s magazines around the world began including their own celebrity centerfolds. In 1984, the adult company Femme Productions, run by ex-porn star Candida Royalle, began shooting films specifically with heterosexual women in mind.“When I’m watching porn trying to get myself off, I have to avoid processing the porn through the lens of female experience,” says Gallop. “By which I mean when I’m watching, I’m thinking, ‘I know that hurts! If she keeps her leg up there one more moment! I know she’s not coming because nothing in that position can conceivably cause her to come!’ and then it’s really hard for me to get off.”Despite our leaps and bounds since 1972, women still deal with frustrations when watching porn. Yes, there are those who are more inclined to watch what mainstream porn is producing: herve leger dresses as of 2003, one out of every three porn site viewers herve leger dresses online is female, making about 27 percent of porn users women. But despite the spike in women watching online porn, many feel that the strong male gaze imposed by the http://coachfactoryhandbagoutlet2u.webs.com/ years of films strictly developed for men since porn’s beginning is hard to shake.Remarkably, the conversation about women and pornography has been prompted not because of some uprising of sexually frustrated women wanting quality curated porn, but because of Fifty Shades of Grey, a book that was originally written as Twilight fan fiction. Let that one sink in. I would say most, if not all, of my girlfriends who would’ve never indulged me in their sex lives have brought up what kind of sex toys they’re currently using because of the book, and it’s looking like that is a worldwide trend. There’s no denying the desire for more female-oriented pornography now.But what about the distraught owner of Let’s Play Anal Twister? Should he watch porn with his girlfriend?“Sadly, guys should totally be able to share porn with their girlfriends, but right now the porn is not the stuff that will incline most girlfriends towards that process. I’m afraid that it may have the complete opposite effect they want it to,” said Gallop.There are, however, many men and women who are making leaps in the world of porn for women. There is a small but budding branch of pornography loosely referred to as feminist porn, which, according to sex-positive feminist Tristan Taormino, is “porn herve leger dress responds to dominant images with alternative ones and creates its own iconography.”Whether it’s labeled feminist porn or not, there are films out there that are perfect to introduce to your partner and even, if you’re lucky, watch together.James DeenHe’s probably the only male porn star you can think of, and there’s a very good reason why: James Deen knows his way around the female body and psyche. Portrayed as a “gateway drug” to porn in the media, James Deen has been in the industry since 2004. He’s been in 1,312 films, which isn’t too shabby, and will be costarring alongside Playboy centerfold Lindsay Lohan in Paul Schrader’s 2012 film The Canyons. The appeal of James Deen is obvious. He doesn’t have the looks of someone who you would usually accept as a male porn star, and he’s known for incredibly passionate scenes ranging from soft and sweet to rough.MakeLoveNotPorn.TV“I’m totally biased, but we created makelovenotporn.tv to appeal to both men and women. We are not porn, we are not amateurs, we are real-world sex and therefore these are videos that can absolutely appeal to the both of them. And even though we are 11 weeks old in closed beta, the feedback we’re getting is men saying, ‘Oh my god, I’ve been waiting for a site like this, this is real-world sex my wife and I can watch together.’” – Cindy GallopPortrait of a Call GirlPortrait of a Call Girl, starring Jessie Andrews, is an award-winning pornographic film shot in 2011. It’s basically as mainstream as you’re going to get when it comes to female-friendly pornography. Between its actual acting, strong storyline and elegant cinematography, it’s the perfect film to enjoy as a whole. Some found its storyline a little stereotypical, as it deals with a woman who is struggling with a life in prostitution and has many story arcs that are unfavorable to those who work in the profession, but as a whole it’s an enjoyable piece of cinema. It’s also really great because after you watch Jessie Andrews get screwed, you can go on her Tumblr and see the cute outfits she’s wearing.Lust FilmsTouted as a pioneer in feminist pornography, Erika Lust has been writing and producing some of the most exquisite films out of Barcelona since 2004. The award-winning vignettes entitled Five Hot Stories for Her, created with couples and women in mind, “explore sexuality with courage and originality, giving a fresh perspective on the monotonous world of adult entertainment.” For a taste of what you can expect from Lust’s films, check out the short film Room 33, which was originally included in a project with five other directors.
