A normative model for the employment of people with disabilities within the Provincial Government of the Western Cape
This article investigates the trends in the employment of people with disabilities within the Provincial Government of the Western Cape (PGWC) and proposes a normative model to address the matter of low employment and progression rates of people with disabilities within the PGWC. The proposed normative model presented in this article incorporates eight sets of criteria, identiﬁ ed and deﬁ ned from the literature and the empirical survey. The advent of democracy in South Africa in 1994 witnessed the enshrinement of the fundamental human rights of all citizens with Government’s target for disability employment legislated at 2%, in 1995. Yet, in spite of employment targets and disability rights being legislated for people with disabilities since 1995, such people within the public service represented only 0.15% of the total staff complement of the public service nationwide, as at December 2004. Hence, a compelling need arises for a structured approach to disability employment. The article accordingly refers to the subject matter relating to disability employment

Is the Benussi Effect a Kinetic Depth Effect?
Rapid, successive presentations of an eccentric circle pattern and its mirror-image elicited apparent depth and, as has been previously demonstrated for the Benussi effect, there was an increase in apparent depth with an increase in circle eccentricity. Taken together, these data were interpreted as contravening Wallach, Adams, and Weisz's account of the Benussi effect as an instance of the kinetic depth effect.
