JOHANNESBURG: The mastermind behind a rightwing extremist plot to kill
former South African President Nelson Mandela and drive blacks out of
the country was sentenced on Tuesday to 35 years in jail.
The
ringleader of a white supremacist militia called Boeremag, Mike du Toit,
was given the highest sentence of 35 years along with four other
defendants over a botched 2002 plot to overthrow the post-apartheid
government, the prosecution said.

Ronaldo fears FIFA favouritism for Messi
Christiano Ronaldo believes Fifa favouritism for Barcelona and Lionel Messi is undermining his legacy at Real Madrid and fears he will not win the Ballon d'Or again while Sepp Blatter remains in charge of football's governing body.
Both the Blancos and Ronaldo responded furiously on Tuesday at quotes made by Blatter on Friday in which the Fifa chief had expressed a preference for Messi and made fun of the Portuguese and, although the Swiss moved to apologise and play down the controversy, the player feels the remarks are indicative of institutional bias.
Asked about Messi and Ronaldo by students at an Oxford University debate on Friday, Blatter said: "One spends more at the hairdresser’s than the other, but I can’t say who is better. I like them both, but I prefer Messi."

Woosh! List of more powerful women than, president goodluck jonathen
Most of the glaring cases of abuse of power including reckless spending of taxpayers’ money have been carried out by the women in Jonathan’s cabinet. These women have proven to be more powerful than the number one citizen of Nigeria because despite public outcries that greet some of their decisions, they go scot-free.
Those who fall in this seemingly untouchable category are the First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan; the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke; the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ms. Arunma Oteh; and the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah.
These powerful women have some things in common. They are all from the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones. Four of them had their higher education in the United States and two of them are daughters of traditional rulers. Needless to say they occupy some of the most strategic and ‘lucrative’ positions in the Federal Government.
PATIENCE JONATHAN
In Nigeria’s history, Patience Jonathan is believed to be the most powerful First Lady in terms of the amount of influence she has over her husband and his cabinet.
Mrs. Jonathan first gave a glimpse into the enormous power she wields in 2011 when she traversed the country, campaigning for her husband in a way that irked many Nigerians.
Several calls by individuals and groups to the President to restrain his wife yielded no result.
Also, in June this year, in apparent violation of the electoral act, Mrs. Jonathan reportedly started campaigning for her husband ahead of the 2015 elections.

Igbo youths defend aviation minister, Stella Oduah
There are controversies surrounding the aviation minister over the controversial armoured cars bought for her by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Autority. Hundreds of Igbo youths, under the aegis of Igbo Progressive Union
(IPU), have embarked on a peaceful protest against the calls for the
sack of Princess Stella Oduah. The protest
held at the Akanu-Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, temporarily
paralysing business activities.
The group, who spoke through their
leader, Emeka Agbo, said Igbo youths were prepared to go the whole hog
to ensure that their daughter was protected.
Agbo, who is a student at the Institute
of Management and Technology, Enugu said some highly-placed individuals
were determined to rubbish the towering pedigree and achievements of the
minister. Click to read more

Kudos to a lady, this car can move even on water, flying tinz next
An inventor has come up with a new design for a car that will drive equally on roads, sand, ice - and even water.
The
all-terrain vehicle, which has a top speed of 62mph and works like a
hovercraft, can move seamlessly between different surfaces.
Female
designer Zhang Yuhan, 21, created the amazing machine - called the
Volkswagen Aqua - for a competition sponsored by the German car
manufacturer.
The vehicle's sleek
sportscar-like design incorporates four high-powered fans and integrated
airbags that inflate to lift it from the ground.
A large windscreen stretches above the front seats to give a panoramic view of the landscape ahead.
You enter and exit the car from a hatch at the rear of the car.
Based on technology
that is currently available, the Aqua uses a hydrogen fuel cell to
China, at it again! Engineering genius babies
It’s not exactly news that China is setting itself up as a new global superpower, is it? Whatever it is they are really good at it. While Western civilization chokes on its own gluttony, China continues to buy up American debt and lock away the world’s natural resources. But now, not content to simply laugh and make jerk-off signs as they
pass us on the geopolitical highway, they’ve also developed a
state-endorsed genetic-engineering project. Quite interesting, how technology is stepping up...
Tigers breed like poultry in China!
According to the current report from the Environmental Investigation Agency, China's tiger farms are
huge, with thousands of captive tigers being bred for slaughter as we breed our domestic animals. That's
possible because China has essentially legalized the tiger trade, which
is troubling considering China is a signatory of the CITES treaty, which
bans international trade in tiger parts (amongst other animals, like
rhinos and elephants) and which also calls for domestic trade
prohibitions.But far more troubling is the EIA's conclusion that China's tiger farms
are actually stimulating demand for wild tigers. Are we still safe?

Abu Dhabi’s Solid Gold "Biofuel" Mercedes Another Dubious "Green" Development
How un-green? Not only an over-the-top luxury car, but made from white gold! So what if it can run on biofuel.
Are the United Arab Emirate states being over-the-top extravagant when purchasing super luxury cars? Word has it that an Abu Dhabi billionaire is the proud owner of a Mercedes V10 Quad Turbo sports job that has a body made of white gold! Not gold paint, but gold alloy sheet metal. Do these kinds of luxuries find any parallel with the similarly over-the-top “eco” projects happening in the region, like The World islands and Masdar City?
The specially made car features a newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque. It is said to be able to go from 0-100km/h in less than 2 seconds, and can go a 1/4 mile in 6.89 seconds running on biofuel. But seriously folks, is it even relevant to talk about biofuel in the face of such an item?
