I bought this painfully average moisturizer based on its box, which advertised mattifying effects for combination to oily skin. I should know by now not to be seduced by the term "mattifying". Rarely do drugstore products perform this function, especially for those of us who wear even moderate foundation or have overproductive sebaceous glands.
As far as moisture goes, this product does its job. However, it does absolutely nothing to reduce shine or mattify my skin. In fact, it actually exacerbates the oil already existent on my face. By the time noon rolls around, I'm pretty much glistening.
It also doesn't have SPF or any other protective benefits which could be expected from a day cream. This is honestly the laziest day cream ever. If you have combination skin, I would recommend it if your skin tends more towards dryness than oiliness. Otherwise, don't bother.

I only apply a very small amount of this and it leaves my face looking greasy every time. Nothing mattifying about this.

I've been using this for 2 weeks now after finishing my pot of Vichy moisturizer and I was looking for something a lot less expensive. My cousin reccomended the Nivea moisturizer that comes in the pink/white pot but then I saw this and the mattifying aspect drew me in. I do not regret my purchace!!
My face is so soft and it really controls my oil. Also it seems as if it is helping my makeup last longer too! The scent isn't overpowering in my opinion but then again I can go into places like LUSH for quite a while without becoming nauseated.
The packaging is very nice too, I prefer squeeze tubes over pots and even pumps.

I usually like the Nivea scent, but with the Nivea Aqua Effect Mattifying Day Care, I have no idea if it is good or not because the scent is awful.
I put it on my face and was at first reluctant because the smell was strong, but I thought the smell might dissipate. I gave it about 3 mins then had to wash it off my face becasue
i was starting to get a headache.
I will probably through it out as I do not even know anyone who might like it due to the overwhelming scent.
It has a strong jasmine, florally scent if you like that kind of scent.
I expected more from Nivea - dissapointed and a big waste of money!!

I've been using this for about a week. No breakouts and compared to my old face lotion, it actually does help my oilyness. My skin isn't a greasy mess anymore! It needs a higher SPF than 15 though.

im not so sure about this product. i read many good reviews so i went ahead and bought it, its cheap. i was excited for the word mattifying in the label, i can never seem to find those where i live. i only bought it today so i havent actually tested it correctly. i did put it on after my shower, though. I was confident and went ahead and didnt blot for two hours aprox. INext thing i know, my face is greasy and shiny. I was quite dissapointed. But Ill give it another chance, i want it to work. Maybe next time, with all my products on, itll work better, i hope...

Best new purchase for a while! Does what it says on the tin, moisturizes and non greasy. Not irritating and not drying gives just the right base for make up. Not sticky, not slippery, not chalky. Feels good and I think it smells nice and fresh. Like.

I liked the texture of this moisturizer because it really did a good job spreading around all over my face before it absorbs too quickly into just certain parts of my face. I really wanted to like it and the packaging could not be beat....but this moisturizer would dull my face out and also made it really pale. the pale I could live with but not the dulling and it made my face sag really bad...the smell is also too heavily fragranced and feels like something I should be putting on my legs, not my face...I use it now as a hand cream and will never repurchase...................update: I also think it dries my skin out. Not in a good way...was wrong about this! it is GOOD. I find all the nivea products to be brigthening in a whitening way somehow...my face literally looks whiter after using their cleansers, scrubs, this moisturizer, everything...so when i want to play up the pale look, i go for this...it doesnt really clog pores is fragranced but lightly...it instantly whitens my skin...i like to mix it with benzol peroxide....
it just is not recommended under makeup but i dont think that is what it is for , but if it is, remove a lippie for me

I have oily combo skin with large pores and I picked this item up in the summer. The texture is a light-weight lotion, definitely non-greasy and does not irritate my skin and leaves it feeling smooth.
This item was on sale and I believe it was under $10 at Shoppers Drug Mart. The packaging was a squeeze tube, very easy to use with a green lid that's attractive as well.
However, I would not purchase this because it s very strongly scented. It's almost like a fragrance body lotion, and I found it very overwhelming when applying. The smell lingers as well, I can smell it on my hand even after washing it. I can't understand why a moisturizer needs to be so strongly scented. Too bad, I liked everything else.

I've tried several other mattifying face creams, much more expensive than this one, and I never found what I was looking for. I was skeptical with this new cream because of its low price but it really does keep your skin oil free without being harsh. I've been using it for a week and I'm not disappointed. It doesn't dry out the skin. It feels fresh when applied, although it is a bit thick. I would recommend it to everyone.

PFR Game Score Finder
We don't know what tonight's game will hold, but it just might end with an historically-unique final score. If so, as a Pro-Football-Reference user you'll know first because you can run a search on any combination of final scores to see how often they've occurred all-time.
Using the main table on this page, and clicking the "count" column header to sort by he number of instances in the database, you can find the rarest and most common scores in pro football history. You might be surprised to see the number of combinations that have taken place just once, running the gamut from 66-0 blowouts to brutal 5-3 affairs. And at the other end of the spectrum, 20-17 is by far the most common all-time final score.
Play around with the tool for a while, and you'll always know where to find an answer when somebody asks, "how often does this score happen?"

New Vegas & game time features on Team Game Finder
Spending a lazy Friday morning at work? No fear, we've put a couple of new features up on the Team Game Finder tool.
First off is the addition of Vegas betting lines (from 1978 to now) to the additional search criteria selector, with which you can find games in the past 5 years in which a team was favored by more than 10 points or 17+ point underdogs in the last 30 years. We also have Over/Under lines, with which you can find all Patriots games since 2002 with an O/U greater than 50.
Next, we've added game time and time zone selectors to the filter criteria, with which you can find that the Bengals have a .700 record since 2002 in games played at 4pm in the Eastern time zone or that the Green Bay Packers have the best record in the last 15 years in road games on the West Coast.

New Front-Page Standings Interface
Many of you may have noticed that we slightly tweaked our front-page standings table for the 2012-13 season. Now it looks like this:
What do F, C, and $ mean?
Clicking "F" next to the team abbreviation brings up the team's Franchise Page, which contains a year-by-year summary of the team's entire history.
Clicking "C" will call up the Clubhouse Page for each team. Team clubhouse pages contain a snapshot of where the team is and how they're playing right now, with a calendar-style schedule, team four factors & leaders, and a table of player stats over the team's last 10 games.
Finally, "$" takes you to the team's Contracts Page. These pages list the team's payroll for the current season and the next four seasons, plus descriptions regarding the terms of every player's contract.
We hope these new links will make it even easier for you to navigate our site and get the info you need this season.

It's the seventh day of recovery for Patrick, the emaciated Pit bull who was shoved into a trash bag and thrown down the garbage chute of a 22 story apartment building in Newark, New Jersey.
The dog was rescued just minutes before being hurdled into the building's trash compactor by a maintenance worker who noticed the bag moving.
When the worker ripped open the plastic bag, the young red pit bull terrier inside was a mere skeleton of a dog. He was cold and near death. Someone had starved him and thrown him out with the garbage.
The dog was rushed by animal control officers to the Associated Humane Societies and Popcorn Park Zoo where his rescuers named him Patrick, because he was found the day before St. Patrick's Day.
Soon after, Patrick was transferred to nearby Garden State Veterinary Specialties where he is currently receiving intensive care.
Chief Bruce Sanchez of Associated Humane Societies graciously gave an interview updating Patrick's recovery and how close police are to apprehending the dog's abuser.
Chief Sanchez said, "Patrick cried and moaned the entire ride in the ambulance when he was rescued. He had hypothermia and his body was so cold, it wouldn't register on the thermometer."
"But Patrick was lucky because the trash bag he was in broke his fall in the garbage chute. The bag filled with air and cushioned the fall. It saved his life."
During the first few days at the veterinary hospital, Patrick received blood transfusions to help him restore a protein called Albumin to his body. Pressure sores covered his thin body.
Sanchez speculated the sores were there because Patrick had become too weak to stand by himself — after his owner deprived him of food.
Now nearly a week later Sanchez said, "Patrick's recovery is going slow. Today was an easy-going day for him. He's eating a bit and has normal bowel and urine movements. The veterinary hospital has him up and walking for a while. And Patrick is responding to all of the kindness he is receiving."
"He refuses to urinate in his cage, so the techs gently carry him outside and hold him upright until he goes."
Although veterinarians are cautiously optimistic about Patrick's recovery, today they hit a bump that may complicate things. A "foreign body" was found in the dog's intestines.
"An x-ray showed some sort of foreign body. It could be a sock or part of a blanket. It's not uncommon to find something like this in dogs that are starved. Patrick was so hungry he might have eaten anything to fill his stomach," said Sanchez.
"They may use a scope in a couple of days to see what is inside him, but Patrick is too weak for surgery."
Chief Sanchez believes Patrick is 2 years-old or younger. He said it was hard to tell because the poor nutrition the dog received has turned his teeth into those of a much older animal.
On a good note, Sanchez said that police have several solid leads about the identity of Patrick's owner. He hopes to make an announcement very soon.
Chief Sanchez also warned that after 25 years in animal rescue he is seeing an increase in this type of extreme animal abuse and it worries him. Earlier this year a Pit bull dog was impaled and killed by its owner.
Sanchez may be right because during the writing of this story, the starved body of a female Pit bull terrier stuffed inside a garbage bag and left on the side of the road was found in Lake County, IL.
Associated Humane Societies has daily pictures of Patrick's recovery. They are also collecting donations for his care.

devils with no heart
I am one of the most non-violent people you can ever meet. Why don't I feel that way as I read about the sick, cruel deeds that are done to some of these poor animals. I'm a firm believer in karma and I hope that everyone, whenever it's meant to be, that we all get what we deserve (including me for entertaining the thoughts that occur to me as I read these things!)!
No matter when this occurred, it is absolutely horrific! Does anyone know what happened to Patrick since? Thanks.
Kathleen C., Anything posted on the internet is cached and remains there forever. This is a much followed cruelty event and probably someone shared or posted a comment. Many people think this is a new event when they see the post.
Why is this story posted on November 22, 2013 when it is dated March, 2011? The petition is no longer open, and there is no update on what happened to this poor dog. Get with it, guys. Unfortunately, there are many current news stories that will break people's hearts and spur them to action. Don't post a 2.5 year old story with no update. Tell us what happened to the dog at least!
These sad affairs will keep on happening as long as people think of pets as a commodity - can be 'discarded" the day they get fed up of 'it'.
Compassion, respect and empathy for other living beings should be taught both at home (if possible),at school and religion classes (if applicable).
There are angels among us and they are rescuing and helping animals. Blessings to all who are caring for this precious dog.
Human beings are becoming more and more vicious, not just with animals but each other. That's what happens when the heart dies.

So tell us again Greg how the Coalition is going to fund its alternative carbon reduction policy? The difference between user pays and taxpayer pays is what exactly?...
Here we have the Coalition telling us with a straight face that their "Direct Action" can do all of the following better than a Carbon price:
- Achieve the same national target by 2020, but using only local carbon reduction schemes without needing international offsets.
- At a lower cost of $1billion per year maximum, capped regardless of whether it can achieve the target carbon reductions.
- That a government can pick winning solutions and technologies for indifferent markets, better than incentivised markets could decide for themselves.
- That no-one and no-business will be forced to change.
Either you believe Coalition voters are fools, or you know Coalition voters don't give a damn about reduction targets and simply want a cheap fixed price token solution. Which is it Greg?

Why don't power-thirsty smartphones incorporate solar cells, to reduce the reliance on batteries? Because in general, the kind of solar cell that can be fabricated in a lightweight, flexible and durable form does not capture enough energy per square inch to make it worthwhile.

Sky's the limit for solar in Texas
Someday, solar panels could be just as common as wind turbines in West Texas and the two renewable energy sources would use the same infrastructure.
Crowdfunding Clean Energy
If you wanted to get large numbers of people actively engaged in helping to solve global warming, how might you go about it? For years, the main approach in the environmental movement has been to sound the alarm bell and implore people to consume less, switch to green products, recycle, and speak up to companies and politicians.
Solar Panels Rare Amid the Steeples
In the early 1980s, after an energy crisis that gripped the world, a Catholic priest in the Texas city of Lubbock took a stand for the environment.

The US solar industry has welcomed the nomination of physicist Ernest Moniz as the country's new Energy Secretary.
SEIA's Statement: New Brattle Group Report Shows Solar Energy as a Solution in Texas to Help Address Summer Electricity Challenges
As Texas braces for predicted tighter electricity reserves and higher electricity rates in the state this summer, a new report shows that adding solar capacity to the Texas electricity grid would result in lower wholesale electricity prices for Texas customers.
The Enlightened Classroom
Solar power has long been touted for its environmental impact. But now it has a new role: saving teachers' jobs.
U.S. Solar-Panel Market Seen Doubling in 2012
The U.S. market for solar panels is likely to double in 2012, thanks to government policies and falling prices, although new tariffs on panels imported from China could contribute to slower growth in 2013, according to a new study.
U.S. Solar Installations Jump in First Quarter
Solar installations in the United States jumped 85 percent in the first quarter of 2012 from the previous year, according to an industry report that prompted a research firm and a lobbying group to raise their capacity forecasts for the year.
U.S. Solar Grew 85 Percent in First Quarter, SEIA Says
Developers installed 85 percent more solar panels in the U.S. in the first quarter than a year earlier, led by strong growth in commercial projects and demand in New Jersey, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.

I had originally intended to buy MACs Cubic, but the makeup artist at Dillard's suggested Harmony for my NC25 skin instead. So thankful she did and that I now have this amazing color in my collection! I love that, even though I use it as a blush (not bronzer), it brightens my entire face and gives the illusion that I have a great sun-kissed glow. I also love how versatile this product is; it goes with ANY look, no need to coordinate with eye makeup. On me, this fades JUST A BIT throughout the day, but it is still very obvious that I am wearing it by evening time, so no biggie. I actually get excited to wear this blush because it makes me feel tanned and pretty! :) I paid $19-something for Harmony and would have no hesitation with purchasing again.

This works beautifully for very subtle bronzing or contouring on me (I'm a C4 in Studio Fix). I've been using this forever, and I'm still very happy with the quality and wearability.

I bought this to use as a contour powder due to the rave reviews and because I was running out of the Bobbi Brown Natural Bronzer which I use for contour. I tried the two colours side by side, they are very similar but thought that the Natural has a cooler tone (which was what I wanted) and better consistency so I gave the Harmony away to a friend. The Harmony, when worked into the skin gives a slight glow due to it's sheerness which my be nice as a bronzer for an all over the face glow but not so good for me as a contour powder. So if you want a full face bronzer, go for Harmony and if you want a good contour powder, go for Natural by Bobbi Brown because it gives a better deepness to the cheekbones, jawline and sides of forehead.

I love this blush! I use it to contour my face and it works quite well. It makes my cheeks pop! I'm also in love with the color. I use it liberally! It looks so nice on my nc25 skin. so flattering

This is one of my most used make up products. It's beautiful for contouring (I hate bronzer most of the time, I'm quite pale), and I frequently use it as an eyeshadow. It can be subtle or strong depending on application.

I'm a yellow-based NC 40 and this is the only contour shade I can use on my cheek bones without looking like a Picasso gone wrong.
It's quite pigmented; I gently dab my 168 in it (and it looks like it didn't catch any blush on it - if the brush shows color after you dab it, danger, danger...) then I trace the underside of my cheekbones, starting from the highest point and gently blending out the line closer to my nose. I usually apply a peachy or happy pink blush above to round it out.
When I'm tanned in the summer, I can use this as a blush. I still prefer using it as a contour however.
Absolutely fabulous. HG for sure. I'd buy another if I finished the pro pan I've already got.

Mac blushes are really great in quality: highly pigmented, tigtly enough pressed so it doesn't break and make a mess the first time something bangs against it and the packaging is great.
I purchased Harmony to use as a contour shade on my NC15 face, and I immediately I found that in order to use it this way I really need to take the tiniest amount of product, because it is so highly pigmented and vivid in color. Seriously, it's almost undoable, I can almost count the atoms on the brush of this stuff with the amount I use it.
So, I've actually switched my strategy: I use MAC Omega eyeshadow for contour and add a little Harmony as a blush to give more color to my cheeks and then blend the two. I still use a molecular amount of Harmony, but it's easier to work with to just throw a little bit on the cheeks than to actually shape the face with it. All pale ladies should try Omega as contour and then add a blush to give the face color if needed!
I'm eager to see what happens during the summer - maybe with a slight tan I'll be able to use more of Harmony. It's really not the product, it's me and my paleness.

PAUL GIGOT: Winner and losers, picks and pans. Tony or Tacky -- our way of calling attention to the best and worst of the week. We begin in Washington, where a Senate committee investigating the Oil-for-Food program allowed itself to be abused by a left-wing British politician.
SEN. NORM COLEMAN: We will be using a timing system today, Mr. Galloway.
Galloway: Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong. And 100 thousand people have paid with their lives, 16 hundred of them American soldiers, sent to their deaths on a pack of lies. Fifteen thousand of them wounded, many of them disabled forever, on a pack of lies.
PAUL GIGOT: Jason, tony, or is it a case of multiple tackies?
JASON RILEY: This is tacky and tackier. I'm almost glad I didn't witnessed this first hand. I would have felt obligated to do something, because these senators just sat there in silence and took it. This British politician flies in to appear, ostensibly to talk about his role in this Oil-for-Food scandal, and sits there and berates our politicians, insults our troops, insults our country, insults our president. And these guys just sit there in silence. I mean, this man has been an apologist for every dictator in the Middle East from Saddam to Yasser Arafat. He complained that the Soviet Union no longer exists, which he calls the greatest catastrophe of his lifetime. And these senators, it seems to me, had some patriotic duty to respond. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
PAUL GIGOT: The American politicians, even senators -- maybe especially senators -- aren't used to the cut thrust of political debate. They're used to giving solo speeches.
JASON RILEY: Where's Jesse Helms when you need him?
PAUL GIGOT: Thanks, Jason. This was the big front page story in the HARVARD CRIMSON and some other papers this week, as Harvard University announced it was going to spend a lot of money to get more women on the faculty. Dan, tony or tacky?
DAN HENNINGER: Well, this is going to be a tacky for Harvard -- which, I'm going to say, has, by and large, never been a truly tacky place. As we know, this is an outgrowth of the bonfire that emerged out there. Harvard's president, Larry Summers, said something untoward about women in science, and now they announce they're going to spend 50 million dollars over 10 years to essentially buy diversity. I mean, that sounds as though you're going out to outfit your living room with a bunch of stuff. And Harvard, to its credit, has never really gone in for this sort of thing. They've actually resisted the worst aspects of PC.
I know it's a very liberal place, it's very hard on conservatives, tough on conservative faculty. But by and large they've kept their standards pretty high. And now what we're looking at here is something like a kind of paint by numbers way of filling out your faculty. So it's really kind of a -- this 50 million strikes me as a very cheesy thing that Harvard's doing, and they've finally succumbed to the flakier aspects of political correctness fantasy.
PAUL GIGOT: And Larry Summers buying his way back into the good graces of the faculty. Pretty steep price, 50 million. Thanks, Dan.
And finally, Jane Fonda's first movie in a long time doesn't seem destined to last a long time in the theaters, if at all. It got very bad reviews, and worse, in one place. Kim?
KIM STRASSEL: Yeah, I'm going to give a tony to the owner of two Kentucky movie theaters who has decided that he is not going to show Jane Fonda's new film. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would say that there should be some limit on how many years you can punish Hanoi Jane for her terrible behavior 30 years ago. But I like to think of this more as a free market issue. This man -- he trained pilots in the Viet Nam war and he decided that he does not want to be party to collecting ticket money that's going to go to a studio and ultimately benefit Jane Fonda. And in the meantime, if you really want to see this movie -- which the reviews would suggest you wouldn't -- you can go to another theater. So everyone's happy.
PAUL GIGOT: All right, Kim. Thanks. That's it for this edition of THE JOURNAL EDITORIAL REPORT. Thank you from all of us. We'll be back next week, and we hope you'll join us then.

"I think she competed really well," said head coach Heather Bell. "She played a great match against Shell which is not reflected in the score. Many of the games were close and Anni just happened to end up short on more of them than not."

Generating static pages and blogs with Jekyll
Text Monster
Most people starting a blog will almost automatically turn to WordPress, which calls for PHP, a database, and regular security updates … and thus a lot of attention. With the small Jekyll template engine, you can avoid all that.
Even with a powerful server, it makes sense to compile an Internet site from static pages, whether to reduce load on the server for high-traffic pages or to minimize the risk of attacks.
Maintaining all the subpages by hand, however, can become a Sisyphean task. At this point, template engines can help. They generate a complete Internet site consisting of only static pages from the text content and a layout template. To change the layout of the entire site, you only need to replace the HTML template – without touching each page individually.

5 Fairy Tales Based in Fact
Subscribe to our newsletter
It's unlikely; barring living in a bubble, severe child abuse, or being locked in a prehistoric time capsule, that you aren't familiar with the idea of fairy tales. You probably have also heard that the sugar sweet versions that Disney mass-produces aren't exactly true to the original versions of the tales. However, you probably didn't know that a few of these too-good (or too weird, depending on the version you're reading)-to-be-true stories are actually based on historical people and events. Here then, are a few "stranger than fiction" real stories that inspired the fairy tales as we know them today.
Despite having a mother obsessed with the supernatural powers of a creepy, boozing, sex-obsessed mystic and a father who didn't want her (or any daughters, for that matter), the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia actually turned out to be a fairly normal girl. That is, until she was placed under house arrest, brutally killed in a basement, and then supposedly resurrected in at least ten people.
After Russia's Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the princess and her Romanov family, less than welcome in their old palace, were very abruptly evicted in July of 1918 by a Bolshevik firing squad. Immediately, people began to believe that perhaps Anastasia had survived—a belief quickly seized upon by would be con-artists and romantics everywhere.
The most notable "Anastasia" was Anna Adams, who underwent a mindboggling thirty year legal battle to be recognized as a Romanov. However, upon her death in 1984, her DNA proved otherwise. Despite the extermination being very gruesomely delineated by one of the people who carried it out in 1989, the absence of two bodies from the mass grave of the other Romanovs led people to believe that Anastasia and Alexei, her brother, had actually survived the attack. However, this mass delusion came crashing down when the two missing bodies were discovered in 2007.
One of the oldest, most prototypical of fairy tales, Cinderella also seems to be loosely based in the factual account of Rhodopis, an ancient Grecian woman. The story goes that Rhodopis, whose name means "rosy cheeks", was a Greek girl captured from Thrace some time ca. 500 BCE, who was sold into slavery (actually, she was on the same island at the same time as another sort of famous Greek slave, Aesop).
Her fair complexion, blond hair, and light eyes allegedly made her very valuable as a slave among the dark-complected Egyptians, and she became a "favorite" of her master, who gave her very expensive shoes as a token of his favor. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) her sucking up to her master paid off, as the golden shoes caught the eye of the Pharaoh, Ahmose II.
The mighty ruler recruited her to become part of his "House of Women" (Charaxos, her owner who had given her the shoes and paid for her with a "bag of gold dust", could not be reached for comment on this development). Apparently, the Pharaoh in those days wasn't ever married to just one wife, but instead had many courtesans. So Rhodopis, er, Cinderella gets to be queen—or at least manages to move up from regular slave to sex slave. Every girl's dream, right?
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Considering Snow White is filled with all the tell-tale tip-offs of fake fantasy, it's strange that it actually comes from history. Snow White was based on Margarete Von Waldeck, a 16th century Bavarian noblewoman.
Strikingly beautiful by all accounts, sixteen year old Margarete moved to court in Brussels in 1549. There, she caught the eye of Prince Philip II of Spain, and became his lover. However, the thought of Margarete being a princess was unbearable to her meddling stepmother (who, by all accounts, hated her) as well as Philip's father, the king of Spain, who saw a marriage between the two as politically disadvantageous. Therefore, Spanish agents cooked up a plot to end the affair permanently, by poisoning the young beauty. Her will, written just before her death at 21, shows evidence of the tremors brought on by advanced stages of poisoning (although the perp could not be her evil stepmother, who died before Margarete's death).
Interestingly enough, the similarities don't stop there: Margarete also grew up in Bad Wildungen, where her brother owned a copper mine worked by small children, severely stunted by their terrible working conditions and starvation. Since it was a different time and this wasn't considered bad enough, they called these kids "dwarfs" (although they probably didn't sing happy little songs). Also, there was a grumpy, old man who peddled poison apples to children, whom he believed were stealing from him.

press release
The DA welcomes the decision by the Pretoria High Court to allow the commencement of class action proceedings against Transnet and two of its pension funds, Transnet Pension Fund and the Transnet Second Defined Benefit Fund (TSBF), on behalf of 65 000 former Transnet employees.
This follows claims that Transnet alienated and mismanaged assets held by TSBF and Transport Pension Fund, resulting in the funds' inability to meets its obligations to pensioners.
There are also claims that Transnet also has the intention to dissolve the pension fund.
The DA remains concerned that Transnet did not take the necessary steps to do what was right, and prevent this costly impasse. To date, poor communication between the pension fund, Transnet and pensioners themselves has prevented a speedy resolution to the matter.
This is why the DA has already written to the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises, Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba, requesting the urgent summons of Transnet officials in order to obtain clarity on the status of the Transnet Pension Fund and the Transnet Second Defined Benefit Fund (TSBF), as well as what disbursements are yet to be made from the funds.
We have also requested the Public Protector, Advocate Thuli Madonsela, to investigate the alleged maladministration of the two funds.
We must ensure that these men and women who spent their lives working to improve South African infrastructure are not left to starve and suffer when they can no longer look after themselves.
The DA will continue to closely monitor proceedings and fight for the rights of all of Transnet pensioners.
Natasha Michael, Shadow Minister of Public Enterprises

Bug catcher: Koenigsegg Agera
So Captain Slow has set a new speed record in the Veyron SS. Good work – now meet the car set to obliterate it...
Posted: 01 Dec 2010
Back the other way – I do the run six or eight times, getting used to the power, then start doing some circle work. The big Michelins break away with easy progression when the boost kicks in, then you can modulate the drift angle at will, the throttle pedal perfectly sharp and accurate, the steering weighty and quick, with plenty of feel, the electronic diff modulating torque brilliantly. I don't have the skill or the nerve to try this sort of smoking action on the road, and I spin a few times even here, but it's obvious that the car is a big pussycat and that the chassis, with a fiendishly expensive carbon-fibre tub at its core, copes with the power. You just have to remember that those wide tyres at the back give up on the job of harnessing the engine's torque very, very easily, without much of a fight, in any of the first three gears.

The Voice's Nicholas David Talks His Experience Thus Far: "This Whole Adventure Never Ceases to Amaze Me"
Nicholas David is a breath of fresh air in The Voice Season 3's contestant pool. His old school, soulful flair, eccentric personality, and shaggy beard are unforgettable, and last night's performance of Huey Lewis and the News' "The Power of Love" was no exception.
But he wants to change up his style moving forward, excited to share his music and story with the world. When Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with the soul singer on the red carpet, he had plenty of inspiring words to share.
Wetpaint Entertainment: How do you feel about your standing in the show so far?
Nicholas David: I do feel good. When I play, I kind of open myself up as a vessel, so it's kind of hard to recall. It will take me a little bit to come back. This whole adventure never ceases to amaze me. All these turns and twists; I can't not be surprised. I go into every situation with an open mind and an open heart.
What do you hope your next performances will be like?
I really hope to be able to play the piano. I've been playing the piano for longer than I've been singing.
What drives you to continue to pursue music?
I've been told that my music has healing capabilities and I've been told that my story's inspiring. I honestly hope that message of healing and hope really will strike a chord in people's hearts and that it really inspires people to follow their dreams and to be themselves.
Do you like Nicholas as a contestant? Tell us below!

Tests much more difficult than those in 1AX and 1BX, and have more focus on character recognition. Learning how to read both traditional and simplified characters is a little difficult. Also, I felt some of the vocab taught (civil rights movement, politics) was not what would be used in everyday conversation.

I really enjoyed learning Chinese from Huang Laoshi. He made the experience easy, light-hearted and fun and wasn't too harsh when it came to grading us on our essays and exams. The exams can be a little difficult, but as long as you spend enough time on the material, it shouldn't be too bad. There is also extra tutoring available for practicing speaking, which is something that you should definitely take advantage of.

Flag of Paraguay
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in Spanish. (January 2011) Click [show] for important translation instructions.
|This article is outdated. (November 2013)
The flag of Paraguay (Spanish: bandera de Paraguay) was adopted in 1842. It is unusual because it differs on obverse and reverse sides. The only other national flags that share this feature are those of Moldova and Saudi Arabia however, both have a mirror image on the reverse, while Paraguay has a completely different image.
Each side of the flag consists of three equal, horizontal bands: red, white, and blue, with an emblem centered in the white band. The emblem on the obverse side is the national coat of arms of Paraguay: a yellow five-pointed star surrounded by a green wreath capped by the words REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY ("Republic of Paraguay" in Spanish), all within two concentric circles); the emblem on the reverse side is the seal of the treasury (a yellow lion below a red Phrygian cap and the words Paz y Justicia ("Peace and Justice").
The flag was revised in 2013, simplifying the coat of arms and bringing the design closer to its original form.[1]

Dose benzonatate cause a drop in blood pressure?
- Posted:

There are a number of Benzonatate side effects that you should report to the doc/pharmacist who prescribed the med. These include but are not limited to:
* Numbing of the mouth or throat, which occurs if the capsules are sucked or chewed instead of swallowed whole and may lead to choking
* Serious heart or blood vessel problems, such as a cardiac arrest, usually due to the anesthetic reaction when the capsules are sucked or chewed instead of swallowed whole
* Numbness of the chest
The above could cause drop in blood pressure, please double check it with you doc/pharmacist.
Swallowing the capsules whole may greatly reduce the risk of many of these serious side effects of benzonatate. Never suck or chew the capsules.
In addition, since benzonatate is chemically related to para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), people who are allergic to PABA may also have allergic reactions to benzonatate.

Rolls-Royce is completing certification work on a new low-emissions combustor for the RB211-535E4 engine to be introduced into service on Condor's first Boeing 757-300 in January 1999.
The Phase Five combustor is based on the low-emissions design of the larger Trent powerplant, and scaled to fit the -535, says RB211 and Trent 700 project director Mike Terrett. "The major reason we did it was to meet legislation for 2000 and beyond. We have seen a 40% reduction in NOx [nitrous oxides] relative to the current design," he explains.
The amount of turbofan-produced NOx is governed by the residence time of burning gases at high temperature in the combustor. "If you can reduce residence time, then you lower NOx. That's achieved by reducing the volume of the combustor by 30%," says Terrett.
To overcome the resulting problem of optimising the fuel/air mix in the smaller space, R-R has increased the number of fuel injectors from 18 to 24. The injector design promotes "-more vigorous mixing, and increases richness in the primary zone", says R-R vice-president, Seattle operations, Chris Hornblower.
Flight tests of the Phase Five combustor are expected to begin within three months on the prototype 757-300, which was due to make its first flight about 2 August. The combustor should be certificated on the -300 in December.

Zagreb is full of young artists and talented curators. But where exactly is the cutting edge of the city's contemporary art scene to be found? In sharp contrast to London or Berlin, Zagreb doesn't really have a functioning art market; there is only a handful of private collectors, and as a consequence there are no gallery-dealerships in the city that promote new work. What keeps contemporary art going in Zagreb is the network of galleries run by public-funded institutions, non-profit associations, or by groups of enthusiastic cultural activists who have banded together to create their own scene. What follows is an entirely subjective list of twelve organizations that have a reputation for presenting art that is current, compelling, or head-scratchingly strange. Some of them may well be located in weird corners of the city; tracking the down will at least expand your urban horizons.
Often overlooked for the very simple reason that it is not adequately promoted, the magnificent modernist rotunda housing the HDLU is probably the best place to start your contemporary arts safari. First of all, it usually has 2-3 exhibitions running at the same time; secondly, the building itself – with its domed central space and endlessly curving walls - makes an ideal backdrop to whatever is on show. HDLU stands for the Croatian Society of Fine Artists – so in a way it's their job to mount as wide a range as possible of exhibitions by artists working in all kinds of different areas.
Galerija Nova
Run since 2003 by Zagreb's most-celebrated curatorial team, WHW (a name that originates from the classic question of consumer economics 'What, How and For Whom?') Galerija Nova represents the political-theoretical wing of the Zagreb arts scene – although this should in no way put off the non-believer. WHW-curated shows reveal an enduring fascination with the socialist heritage of Central Europe and a commitment to the socially-engaged activism of today. Exhibitions frequently feature big-name artists and are sufficiently compelling visually to carry any amount of underlying theory. WHW are as active abroad as they are at home, curating the Istanbul Biennale in 2008 and the group show "Really Useful Knowledge" currently at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid.
Another Zagreb curatorial team that has forged an international career, Kontejner has never bothered with a regular gallery space, concentrating instead on organizing festival-like events that bring together a large group of local and international artists grouped around a specific theme. Usually taking place every autumn, Kontejner's main events are the three triennial festivals Device Art (next due in November 2015), Extravagant Bodies (pencilled in for autumn 2016), and Touch Me (2014's edition is just finishing; it is due to come round again in 2017). Each of these festivals involve cutting-edge art that's also on the cutting-edge of science, with a range of interactive works and experiments that explore the boundaries between mind, body, environment and machine. As an art-show-cum-festival a Kontejner event is unique; Kontejner is one of the few organizations active in the Zagreb art scene that has become an internationally-recognized cultural brand.
Kontejner also organize the one-night-only art events held monthly at the Močvara club (www.mochvara.hr), with sonic multi-media installations a speciality.
Currently led by former Močvara-Gallery head Marijana Stanić, 90-60-90 is the organizational umbrella for exhibitions held in Pogon Jedinstvo, a former factory hall (part of which is also occupied by the Močvara club) currently used by various counter-cultural organizations grouped under the Pogon (www.upogoni.org) banner. The factory setting is used to good effect in 90-60-90's visually stunning exhibitions and installations, frequently involving sound, visuals and other media. Recent years have seen some a lot of major artists from Croatia and the neighbouring region setting out their wares on Pogon's factory floor – Stanić is one of those curators that the big names will go out of their way to work with. Exhibitions here tend to last 2-3 days only, which only adds to their sense of being an event.
Galerija Inkubator
Located in a lovely old house on bar-lined Tkalčićeva street, the 'incubator' is a real labour of love; a gallery established by a single-minded art enthusiast in order to showcase a varied selection of work by predominantly young, local artists. Exhibitions range from the conceptual to the figurative, and there are prints, paintings and photographs for sale.
Miroslav Kraljević Gallery
Fifteen minutes' walk from the centre in the basement of the INA oil company building, Miroslav Kraljević is definitely one for the art theorists, would-be curators and state-of-culture trend spotters among us. Staging solo and group shows featuring a large than usual number of established international names, it's probably the one gallery in town that will give you some idea of where contemporary art is actually at. The 2014 season opened with an exhibition by Duncan Campbell, the Irish artist who went on to win the Turner Prize later the same year. The only drawback is that there are so few exhibitions per year, frequently with large gaps inbetween each one – so check the programme carefully before heading out.
Galerija VN
The space belongs to the Zagreb municipal library service and is used as a public reading room for their collection of newspapers and magazines. Somehow, looking at art on the walls while elderly locals sit at tables leafing their way through the small ads only enhances the experience. The quality of contemporary work here is good, and despite being some way from the centre it is quite near the Lauba Gallery (see p.000) – so a visit to them both can be combined.
Named after the clothes store that used to occupy the building (they liked the sign above the door so much they never bothered to take it down), Greta is arguably Zagreb's best example of a small non-profit gallery that shows relevant new work and also boasts a highly motivated regular public. Traditionally Greta holds one exhibition a week with the opening party on the Monday night, but such is the gallery's popularity with local artists that Greta frequently ends up hosting an event every few days
Galerija SC
Hidden in an unassuming hut just behind the sublime French Pavilion in Zagreb's Student Centre, Galerija SC is one of the cult locations on the Zagreb art scene. It was here that Croatia's first wave of conceptualist, far-out, preconception-shaking exhibitions and happenings happened in the 60s and 70s. One of the exhibition openings in 1978 was the occasion of Zagreb's first ever punk rock concert. Not quite as epoch-defining as it used to be, Galerija SC remains one of the most reliable names on the list, with a regular programme of events featuring relevant, frequently younger-generation names.
One of the new generation of do-it-yourself cultural organizations, Trenutak39 is one of the more uniquely intimate art spaces in Zagreb, housed in a private apartment on the 6th floor of a residential building near the Savski Most tram terminus. Founded by a group of friends in the creative industries who simply decided it was time to do their own thing (Trenutak means "moment" in Croatian, a reference to their quite literally spur-of-the-moment decision to team together and create some culture), the gallery organizes at least four group exhibitions per year, with the changing seasons providing the theme. They also host solo shows, provide residencies to artists who want to stay in the flat and create, and hold a range of arts-and-crafts workshops for adults and children. Friendly, eccentric, and with a refreshing disregard for the boundary between academic and amateur art, Trenutak39 is a welcome anecdote to some of the theory-heavy art curating that goes on elsewhere.
A play on words based on the Croatian name for henbane ('bunika'; it's a plant that has hallucinogenic effects but can also be poisonous), Boonika is another loose union of creative types who have backgrounds in design, computer graphics and art management. Boonika's basic aim is to provide independent artists, designers and illustrators with a platform for promotion and networking – the kind of mutual support that is essential in a country that lacks commercial gallerists and agents. The organization has a gallery space, a commercial wing called Booteeg (making T-shirts and affordable accessories designed by Boonika members) and a computer graphics studio called Boonar. The gallery programmes an impressive mix of shows, featuring everything from street art and illustration to up-and-coming younger-generation painters. Boonika also organize the Independent Festival of Creative Communication, next due in May 2015.

By far the most irritating non-profit gallery in Zagreb is the so-called Institute of Contemporary Art (Institut suvremene umjetnosti), largely because they devote so little attention to the aspect of gallery administration that is most important – providing potential visitors with accurate information. Their facebook page advertises current exhibitions very well, and even states the opening hours, but contains no information whatsoever about where the gallery actually is. A brief internet surf reveals that they have a postal address at Trg kralja Tomislava 20, and another address (on a website not updated since 2011) at Šenoina 11. As I discovered myself, there is nothing advertising itself as a gallery at Trg kralja Tomislava 20, but there is at least a bell labelled Institut suvremene umjetnosti at Šenoina 11 – the problem is, nobody ever answers it. Maybe the hidden nature of the gallery is in itself intended as some kind of occult urban art experience, but I doubt it. For the record, I have to pay babysitting fees in order to be free to wander the streets researching art galleries for In Your Pocket. So the Institute of Contemporary Arts owe me somewhere in the region of 40 kuna.

This piece displays much that is desirable, including scintillating luster over distraction-free yellow-gold surfaces and premium appeal. Only a single light scrape before Liberty's face in the obverse left field appears to limit a potentially finer grade. Census: 15 in 64, 22 finer (3/08).(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 28GL, PCGS# 8861)

what size wrist, in inches, will this band fit?
- Asked by Renay M from Bronx
iWatchz Elemetal Collection Watch Band for iPod nano (6th Gen.)
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
This band fits wrists from 5-8 inches but can be adjusted smaller. If you contact the manufacturer they can send extra links to accommodate a larger wrist size.
- Answered by Ashley T from Toronto
maximum size is 8 inches, it can be made smaller by removing links... I have tried to contact manufacturer for extra links with as of yet no reply via any of there methods of contact (email, twitter, Facebook)... so far waste of £80
