Head of Research discusses 2014 commercial real estate transactions
Zandile Makhoba, Head: Research, South Africa, appeared live on Open Exchange on CNBC Africa on 23 March 2015. She discussed the latest report reviewing major property transactions by by listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
Commercial property investments decelerate as property owners hold on to value
Commercial property investment activity slowed down in 2014. The overriding factor which contributed to low investment activity was the low supply of investment properties. The investment outlook is unbalanced across office, industrial and retail properties and will be largely determined by what properties investors are willing to let go of.

Johanneburg Industrial Market Overview Q4 2014
Industrial space in Johannesburg saw a rise in the quarter, despite the poor performance of the local manufacturing sector in 2014. This can be attributed to increased activity in logistics and distribution. Rental rates remained largely unchanged over the period. Maxi-units have gained appeal due to their efficiency in storage and operational costs, contributing to a flat trend in rental rates in this regard.
Johanneburg Office Market Overview Q4 2014
Demand remained muted under the prevailing uncertainty in the economy, leaving rental rates largely unchanged over the period. Taking prices as a guideline, it is evident that the office market remains under pressure, with an abundant supply and prices still at 2013 levels in contrast to rising operational costs. The economy continues to show signs of fragility and vacancies are expected to remain high with rental rates remaining muted.
Cape Town Office Market Overview Q4 2014
The Cape Town office market continued to show stability in the quarter, despite challenging conditions. The CBD and Century City showed the highest growth in Grade A rentals. Few, if any, speculative developments are anticipated in present market conditions. However, these conditions present excellent opportunities for tenants who are being offered very attractive lease terms from landlords.

U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama's recent condemnation of medieval Christian history to exonerate modern Islam is a reminder of how woefully ignorant (or intentionally deceptive) a good many people in the West are concerning the true history of Christian Europe and Islam.
The problem is that those Islamwho condemn things like the Crusades—including "mainstream" academics, journalists, moviemakers, and politicians—do so without mention of historical context. Worse, they imply "we" already know the context: evil popes and greedy knights exploiting Christianity to seize Muslim lands and wealth. Or as Karen Armstrong put it, "the idea that Islam imposed itself by the sword is a Western fiction, fabricated during the time of the Crusades when, in fact, it was Western Christians who were fighting brutal holy wars against Islam."
The true story of Christendom and Islam is the antithesis of such claims. Consider some facts for a moment: more >>
Dear Rachel,
I'd like to set the record straight about my recent headline-making trip to Israel and clarify that Bryan Fischer's remarks do not represent David Lane, and most importantly do not represent the pastors to whom he ministers or the many Christians like myself who follow Jesus Christ.
Let me also clarify, I am neither a Republican National Committee member nor a registered Republican. As I have already written, I went on the "much ado about nothing" Israel trip and met people from all backgrounds, races, religions and non-religions, ages, and economic and educational backgrounds. Many who went had little knowledge about Israel or Jesus Christ—yet—they were open-minded enough to come and learn. more >>
The Academy Award-winning filmmaker directing the "Four Blood Moons" docu-drama has said he was drawn to the project because of his fondness for "Jews and the House of Israel." The film is based on the bestselling book of the same name written by Texas megachurch pastor John Hagee.
Keith Merrill, who won an Oscar for his 1973 documentary "The Great American Cowboy," made the remark in a statement emailed by Lovell-Fairchild Communications publicist Michael Conrad to The Christian Post.
He explained that he had "several" reasons for wanting to work on the "Four Blood Moons" movie project. more >>
As the world reacts with shock and horror at the increasingly savage deeds of the Islamic State (IS)—most recently the immolation of a captive—U.S. President Obama's response has been one of nonjudgmental relativism.
Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast on February 5, Obama counseled Americans to get off their "high horse" and remember that Christians have been equally guilty of such atrocities:
Unless we get on our high horse and think this [beheadings, sex-slavery, crucifixion, roasting humans] is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. more >>
A bad deal on Iranian nukes would be so catastrophic to global security that presidential resistance to a related speech – by the leader of an allied democracy, who may be the greatest expert on the issue – should leave everyone speechless.
The Obama administration's outraged accusation that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu violated protocol by accepting House Speaker John Boehner's invitation to address Congress is preposterous: Bibi's speech before Congress in 2011 came about in the exact same way with no similar Obama outrage (predictably, given the upcoming 2012 election). And The New York Times advanced this "violated protocol" narrative all too willingly, only to correct itself as inconspicuously as possible, revealing yet again its own anti-Israel agenda. Ironically, Obama's main, if not only, motivation for visiting Israel in 2008 (and promising policies far from those he eventually adopted) was to gain the support of Jewish voters, back when he needed them to win the presidency.
Now Obama is trying everything in his power to unseat Bibi, including what he accuses Bibi of doing: meddling in another democracy's domestic politics. Whitehouse Spokesperson Josh Earnest's inadvertent slip about hoping that Bibi gets voted out in Israel's next elections was just the appetizer. The Obama administration will boycott Bibi on his next trip and is boosting the profile of his political opponents, as Obama-linked strategists actively support Israeli campaigns to defeat Bibi (after already slighting the democratically elected leader of America's top Mideast ally on countless other occasions). more >>
A pro-Israel group says "shame" should be on any member of Congress who decides to skip next month's address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Last month, Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, invited Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress regarding the possible removal of economic sanctions against Iran.
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes the case for renewed Iran sanctions with greater expertise and insight than any other leader on the world stage today," David Brog, executive director of Christians United For Israel, told The Christian Post. more >>

Firefox enters the realm of virtual reality with the Oculus Rift
Mozilla has added support for virtual reality apps running on the Oculus Rift headset to an experimental version of the Firefox browser.
Mozilla has added support for virtual reality apps running on the Oculus Rift headset to an experimental version of the Firefox browser.
Next week developers will be handed a browser ready for debugging and testing web apps on all platforms.
Apple has provided a lesson in browser security after hackers hijack connections to iCloud.com in China.
It seems part of the deal that saw Opera's browser come pre-installed on the new Android-based Nokia X included an agreement to fill Nokia's store with Android apps.
The Pirate Bay is working on a "browser-like" app and a fake domain name system that will turn users' PCs into distributed web hosts.
As long as a system has a browser, a vast proportion of home users will be happy. Throw in a few apps, and that proportion of satisfied users climbs even higher. Is this enough to bring success for the Android desktop?
FileMaker Version 13 will let pros and novices alike build sophisticated browser-side apps for desktop browsers today and Android in the future.
Chrome 31 aims to bring portable native code to the desktop browser and a more native app experience for web apps on Android.
Opera's new Coast browser for the iPad ditches tabs and buttons in favour of swipes.
After five years of Google's Chrome browser, the search giant is hoping to take Chrome apps to the desktop.
Amid the growing popularity of Whatsapp and UC Browser in India, various government agencies have expressed concerns over potential security risks of these made-in-China mobile apps.
OWA for iPhone and iPad are mobile apps that offer the same email, calendar and contact functionality as the Outlook Web App in a browser but with additional features only possible in native apps. But they're only for Office 365 users.
Google has released the latest version of its Chrome browser, adding support for richer notifications for apps and extensions for Windows and the new Blink rendering engine.
Pretty much everyone agrees that Google's Chromebook Pixel is too expensive to just run the Chrome OS Web browser. But what if it could run Android tablet apps as well?
Google's Chrome 'app launcher' for offline browser apps is coming to Windows, with Mac and Linux to follow in due course.
According to the most recently released comparative review by av-comparatives.org, Opera leads competing browsers in anti-phishing protection. Should you make the switch? Not so fast!
Mozilla has released a Firefox OS 1.0 simulator in order to give developers a chance to start building apps for the platform ahead of its release on mobile devices next year; it has also changed the way its desktop browser deals with new private browsing windows or tabs.
The good news: Microsoft is adding cross-browser support to the Q4 2012 Dynamics CRM upate coming in December. The bad news: Its promised cross-platform CRM apps are delayed again.
Mozilla has opened its Firefox Marketplace app store for the first time in its latest test Aurora build of the browser for Android, asking early adopters and developers for their feedback.

Recently I helped troubleshoot a HTTP server error 401 issue - which can sometimes be a nightmare to diagnose. The ASP.NET 4.0 application was hosted on IIS 7.5; the user would click on a specific page to generate a report (which used Crystal Reports controls) and was being prompted to enter credentials 3 times, followed by the 401 error.
The Fiddler tool would show something like below for the Header.
The raw IIS error info is given below:
HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
The error message also mentions the likely causes of the error:
An invalid Kerberos configuration may be the cause if all of the following are true:
Now all other requests to the web application were successful other than this particular page. We wanted to know from where this Kerberos request in between originated, so we ran Procmon to unravel the mystery. We noted there was a TCP Disconnect call in the list of operations.
Looking through the list of modules it indicated that the TCPDisconnect originated from the Crystal Engine:
It turned out that ever since a newer version of Crystal Engine (184.108.40.2065) was installed on this machine, they had the 401 issue. Rolling back to the previous Crystal Report Engine (126.96.36.1992) resolved the problem.
We hope this gives you a perspective on how you can also use Process Monitor to troubleshoot tricky issues!

Jade Vine in Philippines
mariava7March 14, 2006
I would just like to share this pic of a jade vine flower grown in the Philippines in my mother's garden. Beside it is my 8 year old daughter. This vine grows up a tree and blooms all year long.
Thank you peaseblossom! I think my mom says that the vine is like 3-4 years old. No she cannot get it to seed. She said that in other provinces it would seed and needs insects to polinate it. She sprays in her nursery so that might be one of the causes, killing beneficial insects too. Some growers are successful in propagating this plant through cuttings.
The picture was from Flowers of Maui

Web sales tax may mean $20M for Vt.April 24,2013Web sales tax may
mean $20M for Vt.
MONTPELIER Proposals being considered by Congress to require Internet retailers to charge state sales taxes could mean at least $20 million a year in revenue for Vermont.
Currently, Internet retailers dont have to impose a state sales tax unless the company has a physical presence in Vermont.
Many small retailers have complained that this gives the Internet retailers an unfair price advantage and state officials are upset because they lose sales tax revenue.
The U.S. Senate is set to vote on the proposal this week.
Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., co-sponsor of a bill being considered in the House, said he hopes Congress is ready to move on the issue.
If we get a successful vote in the Senate, this is going to put a lot of wind at our back, Welch said.
State Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson told Vermont Public Radio that people who purchase items from e-retailers are supposed to pay the state sales tax, but they rarely do.
Its really important to note that its not a new tax, its just a tax thats owed but is generally not being remitted when its done as a use tax as opposed to the vendor collecting it as a sales tax, she said. Its both a matter of revenue fairness, fairness between taxpayers and fairness for our Main Street businesses.MORE IN Vermont NewsHouse Speaker Shap Smith kept alive his winning streak on the House floor this past week, guiding...

Kudos for adding accessible electrical outlets on each wall during the remodel! Nice not to have to look behind the bed or furniture and then unplug lights to get access. Someone thought this one through! In addition, one of the few lodges (maybe the only?) in this area that purchase quality linens; from the bedding to large and fluffy bath towels. A welcome find.

Costume Help
Better has advice on what to look for when you go shopping for the perfect costume.
-Hey, Halloween is less than 2 weeks away so it is time to pick up the costume, carve your pumpkin and stock up on all that great candy. With so much to choose from, we set in the cold to shop for a practical costume that won't break the bank. -It's easy to fall in love with Halloween. The corn mazes, the caramel apples and picking the perfect pumpkin. But whether you're a little kid or just a big kid that's young at heart, everyone's favorite part is dressing up. Here's some tips on picking the perfect costume. There's lots of places that you can get a Halloween costume. We're here at Goodwill to show you all the different options and things to remember before your big night. If your costume is going to include a wig, remember that that's gonna trap some body heat and it might make you a little warm. Same goes for a hat, but now, they have the hat and the wig built right in, one less thing to remember and you won't be quite as warm. Now remember if you're going to have a mask as part of your costume, that you're going to have to take it off to eat or drink anything. Also, little ones can't see quite as well when they've got something on their face. So it might be a better option just to have it painted, just take it off at the end of the night and that way, know that their sight is not impaired. Now remember when you get your costume that there's gonna be lots and lots of accessories to go with it. Wonder Woman, she's gonna need the gold bracelets. You know maybe you're a clown, you're gonna need the red nose, but from there, you have to be careful. Kids want every single thing that they can get. Here's a Pirates of the Caribbean fishing pool. Now let's be honest, after they have one hand holding their trick or treat can and in the next holding your hand or flashlight, when are they gonna have time to go fishing? So, just manage expectations when you go by your costume with your kid. We don't want our little gossin goblins to be cold when there's lots of costumes that are full little fur suits. They're dressed up but they're also warm. This is kinda cute. These aren't very practical for an indoor house party though. Imagine how warm we would get in this. It's like a sleeping bag with a face. Whoa! Meow, kitty. And even dad can get into the action with very little effort. Even your raincoat can get in on the action. Well, now that we know what we're looking for in a Halloween costume, let's grant some wishes. We hope that you and your family have a wonderful Halloween. You guys say happy Halloween! -Happy Halloween! -Let's go play, come on. -Great shopping advice, Nicole. Thank you. And you may be surprised to learn that Halloween is the number one holiday among adults, so don't let the kids have all the fun.

Hotel Habita
Av. Presidente Masaryk 201, Polanco District, Mexico City, Mexico
Neighborhood: Polanco
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Mexico City's Hotel Habita is the very face of urban boutique cool, wrapped in an outer layer of frosted glass, extending the old apartment block's volume out into space, making corridors of the old balconies, keeping the cool air in and the street noise out. From outside, the silhouettes of the well-heeled hotel guests can be spied moving from room to room, inside what in daylight resembles a block of ice, and at night an outsize paper lantern. Archi-tourists will be charmed, while traditionalists may ask when the construction is scheduled to finish—in any case, it's a radical departure from the stately residential buildings of the upscale Polanco neighborhood.
The interiors are, of course, just as startling, with the Mexico City colonial style nowhere in evidence, replaced by a sparkling white minimalism, with hardwood floors and an almost Scandinavian coolness—corridors are painted a calming sea-foam green that adds an icy tint to the daytime exterior. Rooms are stark and stylish, with Eames or Jacobsen-style chairs and another plane of glass as a desk.
Hotel Habita is a place to see and be seen, playing host to well-off locals as well as actors, musicians and media types—as such, it's the public spaces that truly sparkle. AREA, the rooftop bar, is one of Mexico City's hottest nightspots, with sweeping city views and appropriately theatrical setting, and a single-lane lap pool and jacuzzi occupy the lower terrace. The lobby is home to a self-service margarita bar, as well as AURA, an Asian fusion restaurant decorated in the same icy-cool style. As for the location, it's hard to find fault; the Polanco district is home to many of the city's best shops and restaurants, while the hotel itself is tucked down a quieter side street for maximum quiet and privacy.
How to get there:
Hotel Habita is approximately a 30 minute drive from Benito Juarez International Airport. Transfers are available for USD57 for up to 2 guests, each way and USD65 for 4-7 guests. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange airport transfers.

Happy Valley couple win drawing for one of state's first same-sex marriage licenses
Keith Thorpe/Peninsula Daily News
J.P. Persall, left, and Diana Wickman, right, both of Sequim, look at a set of wedding rings Tuesday that they will exchange in a ceremony officiated by Clare Manis Hatyler, chaplain of Olympic Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.

Diana Wickman and Judy Persall of Happy Valley south of Sequim are preparing to be among the state's first same-sex couples to wed Sunday — the first day same-sex marriages can legally be performed after the three-day waiting period after licenses are issued.
The two retired Coast Guard officers have been together for 10 years.
"I entered a contest posted by friends on Facebook. We didn't expect to win," Wickman said.
Voters statewide approved Referendum 74, which affirmed the Legislature's same-sex marriage law, by 53.7 percent to 46.3 percent in the Nov. 6 general election.
Law begins Thursday
Election results are certified today, and the law will take effect at 12:01 a.m. Thursday.
Thursday also is the first day same-sex couples can obtain marriage licenses at county auditor's offices.
Persall and Wickman are planning a simple ceremony Sunday before a small group of friends and family at their Happy Valley home.
The vows will be short and sweet, Wickman said.
It will be officiated by Chaplain Claire Hatler of Olympic Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
The church is a "welcoming congregation," meaning the congregation is committed to supporting people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
First gay wedding
It will be Hatler's first same-sex wedding, she said.
Hatler and the couple met Tuesday to plan the ceremony, and the couple planned to drive to Olympia early today, Wickman said.
"We're going to check into someplace nice in Olympia and go to a restaurant," she said.
Wickman noted that the 12:01 a.m. event is a bit past their normal bedtime but is worth it.
The courthouse belongs to Thurston County, and the license will be issued by that county, not the state — but getting one of the first licenses issued in the state's capital city is symbolic, she said.
A couple can marry anywhere in the state regardless of the county from which the license is issued.
Clallam County rejected R-74 by 52.49 percent to 47.51 percent, while Jefferson County approved it by 63.74 percent to 36.26 percent.

As expected the industry just about scraped over the break-even line in 2012, albeit only because of the results of a handful of leading lights. There is every chance that lines will make decent money in 2013, but only if they refrain from old habits and stick to pricing and capacity discipline.
Drewy's latest Container Forecaster report gives our headline industry operating profit estimate for 2012 of $280 million. Clearly, this is a very poor return for moving nearly 170 million teu of loaded containers, although any sort of profit seemed highly unlikely after the heavy losses sustained in the first quarter of 2012.
It also represents a significant improvement on the estimated $7.7 billion loss endured in 2011. Whether or not carriers are satisfied is debatable.
Spooked by that awful start to the year, carriers avoided another 2009 and 2011-esque financial meltdown and turned things around through a combination of prudent capacity management and unity on freight rate increases.
Worryingly for carriers, the revival in fortunes that saw all carriers back in the black for the third quarter has quickly dissipated and many lines lost money again in the fourth quarter.
Estimated carrier industry EBIT profit/loss and EBIT margins, 1Q08-4Q12
Our previous forecast for 2012 profitability did anticipate a weaker fourth quarter, but judging by the sample of available results we were slightly too optimistic. Drewry estimates that the average operating margin of carriers in the fourth quarter shrank to 0.1%, down from 6.6% in the third quarter, as spot market freight rates plummeted on the key westbound Asia-Europe (-23% quarter-on-quarter) and eastbound transpacific (-11% Q/Q) trade routes.
Subsequently, only three major carriers (CMA CGM, Maersk Line and OOCL) returned a meaningful operating profit for the full year, although Hapag-Lloyd did salvage a tiny profit of $3 million. Ultimately, these select few "winners" neutralised the losses accrued by the rest so that our industry average balanced out at close to zero.
EBIT profit /loss of selected carriers in 2012, $ millions
The mixed-bag of results for 2012 tells the tale of how successful (or not) individual carriers were at getting a grip on costs as well as their exposure to high or low yielding trade routes. Unquestionably, that focus on cost optimization will need to be maintained and intensified if carriers are to see improved profitability in 2013.
The slide back into the red during the fourth quarter clearly does not bode well for carrier profitability in 2013. However, there is some cause for mild optimism among carriers. For 2013 we remain optimistic that carriers can return a decent profit as average freight rates and volumes for the year are expected to rise by around 3% and 4% respectively, while bunker costs are predicted to come down by 1.5%, the first year-on-year decrease since 2009.
Drewry container industry profitability forecast, 2012-13
We do expect carriers to make money again this year, but it should be reiterated that carriers themselves are the biggest risk to this forecast. While there are significant profit gains to be had through cost-cutting, if lines were to lose their pricing discipline and enter into a new rate war heavy losses will undoubtedly follow.
With so many variables to consider any industry-wide profit forecast is a hostage to fortune, but we have to believe that ultimately carriers will do what is in their best interest. Particularly so when you consider that the last five years have essentially been a lost half-decade with a cumulative loss of $700 million between 2008-12.

Korea should be admired and applauded the world over for the outstanding developmental success it has achieved. Every developing country should look to Korea as an example of proper government, societal, and economic alignment. This article mentions the innovation and entrepreneurship problem as a leading drag on accelerating the economy, however, I believe this will change relatively shortly. Korean education is too advanced and dedicated to not empower its students to innovate with technology, manufacturing, or agriculture. What needs to act as a catalyst to this realignent though is the citizens' risk tolerance. Many Asian countries are very risk adverse when it comes to employment, investment, and exploration. Entrepreneurship can only be born out of a persons passion to try new things and solve hard problems which is exactly why I believe South Korea will excel with tech innovation in the coming years.
South Korea's economy is one of the most stable in the entire world. With some of its multi-national, billion dollar producing companies (Samsung, LG, etc) it's no wonder their economy is doing so well. The government to me, is well runned and South Korea has become a great ally over the years with the US. I say keep it up, South Korea.
Finally a country that has been able to succeed in the recession. Now it is not only China who is successful but now South Korea is starting to appear as a major developing country. Their economy has been prosperous due to innovation and the education they provide for their students. If something is invented, South Korea with find a way to make that invention better which contributes to their success. Because this country is developing greatly, opening up trade as announced by Obama with also help other countries. This decision to open up trade with Asian countries will help reduce the global recession greatly. Of course with the United States becoming the head of the free trade they will have influences in many of the countries that will agree to the free trade. However, in order to help reduce the impacts of the recession this free trade must be carried out between the Asian countries. Countries such as China and South Korea have been prosperous so by opening up trade with these countries will help put others back on their feet.
Pretty dark article on S.Lorea economy, for a country at war. I've worked there, if Westerners want to give advice on how to run an economy...keep it to yourself..or at least til you figure out Greek Debt crisis..Italian debt crisis...Portugal debt crisis..Ireland debt crisis..Spain debt crisis..and perhaps an England where week long riots are just "commoners" letting off steam..Asia, led by China will be the future of the World economy and will decide if it wishes to save Europe right now..
Although the current rising superpowers are China, China , and China, i believe that South Korea will be soon a nation that will take its place on the world stage. It's rising economic as well as scientific advances is being recognized by other states over the world. People should start investing on Korean products and corporations as they are on the rise to the center stage as well.
Korea, one respected neighbor,if each province of china along the east coast are the same economic size as Korean, our country will become respected too, not like now.
Korea has been an interesting country its full life. To my knowledge south Korea is one of the very few that does not invade ever. As for the question what do you do when you reach the top. That is fairly easy in Korea's case. You change the educational system around a little bit. They could easily stand to be smarter and accept outsiders way of life. As for the Koreans themselves. Just sit back and sip on all sorts of imported luxury goods. This was a very will written and thought out article in my opinion.
Korea has advanced so much and has had an incredible amount of progress in such a short period. I do think that South Korea has to change in some way to become part of the developed world. When this article states that there is a social norm, saying that if Korean's aren't working in "conglomerate companies" than they are not worthy. I think this type of stereotype puts a lot of younger students under pressure, and creates educational competition. Knowing that at such a young age, going to school from six am until eight pm or even later is just crazy to me. They need to relax and live a little. Also, this article talked about working hours. I personally think that Korean's do work very hard. They strive to be on top and won't settle for anything less.

When this article states that there is a social norm, saying that if Korean's aren't working in ---- than they are not worthy. I think this type of stereotype puts a lot of younger students under pressure, and creates educational competition.

I personally think that Korean's do work very hard. They strive to be on top and won't settle for anything less.
South Korea has advanced really far in the past 50 years. I think one of the main reasons is their work ethic. It seems that there is a mistake in the article when it says that Koreans work half as much as Dutch and Germans. It then says that they work 2200 hours a year which would mean they would work 42 plus hours a year. I find it hard to believe that the Dutch and the Germans work 84 hours a week. I think this sentence is worded poorly and may be confusing to the reader. Either way, if South Koreans keep this up then they will definitely be advancing into a better society in the near future.
Korean gross national saving rate is 32.491 % ,still one of the higest in OECD.
Probably what you are mentioning is the household saving rate/disposal income.
Indeed the household saving rate and disposal income has been declined so much because the 4 insurance rate increased from 2% to 5% in compulsory by law and the real estate loans and more than anything else the private pension become widely popular.
However that does not satisfy your claim that Korea is the lowest saving nation.
Also the disposal average income per household in SK is still higher than TW and SG.
Corporation debt? you must be joking.
Please show me any corporation datas by its scale.
SK major big companies are operating under significant lower debt than any other big companies in other nations.
The article begins by depicting South Korea as the prime example of economic growth and success, but halfway through, it also states that it is only because Korea has had a "beaten path" to follow. Well, it seems that the problems Korea is facing now are the same as any other country with a similar economic status. Progress hits its paramount and can't go any higher, wealth disparity becomes largely more noticable, and social values and work ethics of the average man begin to slump. South Korea has followed other models to success, but it needs to be careful not to follow those same models into an impasse. Although in spite of the article's warnings, I really can't say I believe that South Korea would fall into a rut anytime soon. The "education and hard work" is already an integral part of the Korean mindset; it's hard to imagine that Korea wouldn't maintain its excellence simply on the basis that it has already achieved it. "The problems of the South Korean model" certainly "should not be allowed to obscure either its achievements or its continuing strengths." With the way South Korea's economy has been growing, it won't be a surprise to see it paired up with China, India, and even Brazil on the world's list of next leading economies.
Korea is basically financially broke. Once manufacturing starts to lose competition, South Korea is more like Greece again. South Korea's education system is total crap and waste of humanity.
I think North Korea should take over South and reform it. That could be the better future.
It is a tricky situation countries find themselves in when they have reached what they feel is the "pinnacle" of their advancement economically. South Korea's economy has made enormous leaps, and still in my opinion making enormous leaps, since their shadowy time nearly 50 years ago. I do not think for one minute that South Korea will begin to slack because they have reached what some may think is the very utmost of their economic success. The country will continue to grow with careful planning, thought the growth may be different than how it has been in the past.
It is simply amazing how far South Korea has come is the past decade. However, the question that must now be asked is what effect this rapid development is having on the South Korean people and how long it can last. With a new ideology of big business within the country, more pressure is being placed on the education systems. Now, South Koreans are expected to become "above average" graduates whom will work for large conglomerate companies, pushing the country further ahead in the world economic and technological trend. This idea is great for the Korean government, but how does it affect the Korean people? I believe it creates a society in which being successful in big business is the only way to be valued. This is drastically different from the once simplistic and traditional views of Eastern culture. I wish South Korea the best of luck in keeping their upward streak. However, I don't think it can last because innovation only lasts so long before a market becomes stagnant again.
Don't believe what Korean says....
some comments are so outragious. Dont't mix us with Koreans.
It's good to see other countries doing well in the economic crisis going on. Yea South Korea has strong neighbors and friends to help it out of recession, but that's not the only reason it's doing so well. Just look at Mexico, it's right next to the U.S. and has plenty of valuable resources but it's not a 1st world country. South Korea is going to stay on top for a while and hopefully be a buffer between the West and the East.
South Korea is a small country. But it's economy is not like the area it is. Actually, they are developed country. Especially in recent years, South Korea develops pretty fast in many aspects. And it cannot be overlooked or underestimate.
If Korea could create a better public school program up to par with the private schools in place, I think it would really benefit the entire country because then family's would not have to focus so much on making money and providing education opportunities for their children. This would decrease the financial instability in families and also allow women into the work force, which would certainly encourage growth.
This article pretty much sums up the belief that the world is changing into one dominated by Asian states. There are countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea that are quickly becoming the leaders of innovation with booming economies. With the decline of many European countries such as Italy and Greece and the Euro Zone crumbling while Asian nations continue to grow with prosperity, it seems as though it is a sign of changing times. It would be best for not just South Korea to make changes to the way its country is run, but change the way it views itself. South Korea and other countries should start considering South Korea a new power in the world.

(By Balaseshan) Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) and Samsung signed a global alliance deal to accelerate mobile (Near Field Communication) payments. In addition, the payments network signed an agreement with ROAM to increase the availability of mobile acceptance solutions worldwide.
Visa and Samsung have agreed to work together to enable the next generation of Samsung mobile devices with Visa payment technology, and to partner with financial institutions to accelerate the availability of mobile payment solutions globally.
According to the agreement, financial institutions that are planning to launch mobile payment programs will be able to use the Visa Mobile Provisioning Service to securely download payment account information to NFC-enabled Samsung devices.
[Related -Visa (V) Call Options Look For Rebound]
In addition, Samsung has agreed to load the Visa payWave applet onto its mobile devices featuring NFC technology. Visa payWave is Visa's mobile payment applet that enables consumers to make "wave and pay" contactless payments using mobile devices.
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is the global communication standard that enables mobile devices to securely communicate with a payment terminal. ABI Research forecasts that a total of 1.95 billion NFC-enabled devices will ship in 2017.
In a separate release, Visa said it has signed an agreement with ROAM, an Ingenico company and provider of mobile commerce, to enable merchants of all sizes to accept electronic payments using mobile technology.
[Related -Visa Inc (V) Q4 Earnings Preview: All Eyes On Volumes]
The companies aim to displace cash payments by expanding the reach of electronic payments to new merchant categories, and by making it easier for merchants and acquirers to take advantage of secure mobile acceptance solutions.
