Polish pension funds transfer 7.5 bn złoty to ZUS, may start selling shares

Poland's Open Pension Funds (OFE) transferred 7.5 billion złoty to the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) in six months through the so-called safety slider mechanism. The pace of transfers is making it increasingly likely that the funds will have to sell equities to meet their obligations. Such forced share sales could put downward pressure on the Polish capital market.

Does the OFE safety slider mechanism threaten Polish stock market stability?

Psychologist: Returning to an ex after 20 years works only under one condition

Michał Wiśniewski's decision to reunite with his second wife Marta "Mandaryna" Wiśniewska after two decades has sparked debate about rekindled relationships. Psychologist Barbara Wesołowska-Budka warns that the passage of time alone does not change how people function in a relationship. Success is most likely for those who have genuinely worked through their past issues and changed as individuals.

Can returning to an ex after many years lead to a successful relationship?

Oklahoma palaeontologists find soft tissue in a 450-million-year-old crinoid fossil

Scientists at the University of Oklahoma have discovered perfectly preserved soft tissue inside a crinoid fossil approximately 450 million years old — more than 200 million years older than the dinosaurs. Researchers describe this type of find as a once-in-a-million discovery. The preservation offers a rare window into the biology of early Palaeozoic marine invertebrates.

Dispute over Warsaw Chopin Airport parking tender to go before National Appeals Chamber

A company taking part in the multi-million-zloty tender for modernising the car park at Warsaw Chopin Airport argues that the requirement to integrate new equipment with the existing IT system limits competition, and has referred the matter to the National Appeals Chamber (KIO). Polish Airports (PPL) refuse to modify the tender conditions. The KIO will now rule on the dispute.

Should Polish Airports modify the Chopin Airport parking tender conditions?

US bars direct return from DR Congo over Ebola fears, requires 21-day quarantine

The Trump administration has barred US citizens in the Democratic Republic of Congo from returning directly to the United States due to Ebola fears. Before re-entering the country, they will be required to undergo a 21-day quarantine in a third country. The measure was reported by Reuters.

Is a 21-day third-country quarantine the right response to Ebola risk?

US government moves $297M in seized Bitcoin and Ether to Coinbase Prime

The US government transferred $297 million worth of seized Bitcoin and Ether to Coinbase Prime. The move has raised questions about President Trump's pledge to establish a Bitcoin reserve. However, deposits to Coinbase Prime do not in themselves confirm that a sale is imminent.

Should the US sell its seized crypto rather than hold it as a reserve?

Using pumice without soaking feet first makes cracked heels worse, not better

Using pumice without soaking feet first makes cracked heels worse, not better

Applying a pumice stone to dry feet without first soaking them causes the skin on heels to harden even more rather than soften. The critical step many people skip is soaking feet in warm water for several minutes before using the pumice, which softens the skin and prevents micro-abrasions. Regular moisturising after the treatment is equally important for lasting smooth skin.

2003's 'Cold Mountain' modernised The Odyssey 23 years before Nolan's film

Charles Frazier's 1997 novel "Cold Mountain" blended Homer's Odyssey with Civil War America, and director Anthony Minghella adapted it into an Oscar-winning film for Miramax in 2003. The film is being recalled as Christopher Nolan prepares his own Odyssey adaptation. It predates the better-remembered Coen Brothers film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) in drawing on the same ancient epic.

Is 'Cold Mountain' a better Odyssey adaptation than the Coen Brothers' 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?'
