|
Rising interest rates will limit building contractors' ability to push through price increases, states research conducted by Medium-Term Forecasting Associates (MFA). MFA's research shows that tender price increases peaked in the first quarter of last year at 20,2%, with an average 17,5% rise for 2005. This is in stark contrast to the 5% rise in tender costs in the first quarter of this year...

| >> More affordable space in city centre |
|
Opportunities for residential redevelopment and letting of office space are increasing in Johannesburg city centre as more B- and C-grade office space comes to the market. Viruly Consulting property economist Francois Viruly says A-grade space has decreased markedly in the past 10 years, with more B- and C-grade space emerging. This, he says, suits prospective city centre tenants...

| >> Focus on Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa |
|
Johannesburg unlike most other major cities, was not founded near water. Inland, and perched on the 80km long rocky outcrop of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg's existence and growth came from the financial waters left behind - gold. The discovery of this enchanting mineral hidden below the plains of the highveld sparked off one of the fastest urban developments of the modern era...

You can go on holiday anytime you want to and you don’t even have to go through a central reservations desk.

Wakeboarding
is a surface Watersport. It was created from a combination of water skiing,
snow boarding and surfing techniques. Before it was called wakeboarding
it was called skurfing (ski + surfing). As in water skiing, the rider
is towed behind a boat, or a cable skiing setup, but typically at slower
speeds (16 - 23mph). Beginners start at slower speeds such as 18mph with
shorter ropes(60 - 65 ft). More experienced wakeboarders use faster speeds
such as 25mph, but use longer ropes up to 80 ft long. Instead of using
skis, the rider rides a single board, known as a wakeboard, with stationary
non-release bindings for each foot, standing sideways as on a snowboard
or skateboard. The boards, which can float, are typically 120 - 147cm
long, depending on weight, and up to 45cm wide (shorter and wider than
snowboards). Unlike snowboards, which are concave, they are convex (tips
15 - 25cm)...
