1. Business: The Big Mac Index
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Johannesburg
- The South African Rand is no longer the cheapest currency in
the world - at least not according to that lynchpin of burgernomics,
the Big Mac index.
The
index, compiled by The Economist, compares the price of
a Big Mac hamburger in the US with the prices of identical burgers
in other parts of the world.
It
was designed to assess the relative buying power of currencies
compared with the US dollar.
The
latest index shows a Big Mac will cost $2.65 in the US and R12.95
($1.59) in South Africa. This implies a purchasing-power parity
(PPP) exchange rate of R4.89 to the dollar compared with a spot
rate of R8.82 late on Friday. (The latest exchange rate is at
R7,97 to the dollar)
The
Rand is therefore, on this basis, undervalued by about 45 percent.
In 2001 the Rand was undervalued by 68 percent and was the index's
worst performer.
Over
the last two years it crept ahead of Argentina, China, Russia,
Malaysia, Brazil and Hong Kong, among others.
On
the other end of the scale, Iceland, Switzerland, Sweden and Britain
are now the most overvalued currencies relative to the dollar.
The euro is 8 percent and the pound 21 percent overvalued. To

Cape
Town - A film studio, critical to the R2 billion-a-year film
industry reaching projected growth of 20 percent in the next two
years, was likely to be established soon, Ebrahim Rasool, the
Western Cape MEC for finance and economic development, said yesterday.
The
need for a film studio, with the services it could provide to
local and foreign filmmakers, was highlighted during the Sithengi
film festival held in Cape Town in November.
Rasool
said the infrastructure for the studio, a public-private partnership,
had to be in place soon so that expertise could be retained and
critical mass achieved.

The EU has approved a pilot scheme that will create a pan-European
online grants information service for businesses
The GUIDE pilot website, due for launch in September, will be
developed via a partnership between UK grants service company
j4b, Dutch counterpart PNO and Madrid-based Econet.
The EU is supporting the venture financially, having awarded EU800,000
to the triumverate, around half of the overall cost of the pilot
scheme. j4b claims that since it has secured the development funding
through an EU eContent grant, it has "put paid to the misguided
belief in certain business quarters that grants are generally
insignificant and not worth bothering with".
The pilot website is scheduled to run for two years and will provide
information on grants and loans to European businesses. j4b research
and content director Andrew Diggle said the company had been chosen
to lead the technical development of the database and website.
The GUIDE project aims to establish and run an online European
grant funding database and website that allows users to easily
access grant information at one single source and in all official
EU languages. Visit
their site for more details.

5. Business: Irish tax payers are amongst the most heavily
burdened in the world
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = =
According to reports in the Irish media, by the end of this year
more than one-third of Irish taxpayers will be paying the top
rate of 42%, far exceeding the government's long-term target that
only one in five workers should pay the higher rate.
Official figures have revealed that at the end of 2002, slightly
more than 30% of the Republic's income tax payers were paying
highest rate of tax - up from 27% at the beginning of that year.
However, according to experts, Charlie McCreevy's failure to increase
tax bands and credits in his December budget will mean that the
number of top-rate taxpayers increases sharply in 2003. For help

6. Business: South African Wines
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Kumala,
the wine brand produced by South Africa's Western Wines group,
is the fourth-biggest selling wine in the UK, according to the
latest November/December poll by AC Nielsen.
This is the first time a South African wine has made it into the
top five of the UK's Top 10 light wine league table.
According to Western Wines, Kumala sold 2 million cases (9-litre
equivalent) in 2002, up from just over 1 million cases in 2001.
The company is set to expand these numbers further in 2003, having
appointed two new full-time dedicated brand managers, as well
as new media and advertising agencies.

7. Education: Flags of the World
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Maintained
by a staff of editors from around the world, the Flags of the
World Web site contains over 18,000 pages of information about
flags and over 32,000 images of flags.
Perhaps
the most impressive aspect of the site is the multitude of ways
in which users can look for different flags: by country; page
title; date of last page update; and most interestingly, topic.
Some
of these topics include oil companies, pirates, signal flags,
weather flags, and flags in movies. Each flag page includes information
about the flag's history, the flag's symbology, and in some cases,
different incarnations of the nation's flag.
For
users hoping to learn more about the study of flags (i.e., vexillology),
there is a thorough glossary of words commonly used in the field.
The site is rounded out, by a section that answers frequently
asked questions, such as "How do you hang a flag at half
mast?" and "Why are these flags similar?"

site.

9. Education: A visit to the Smithsonian
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
This exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution's National
Portrait Gallery uses portrait drawings dating from the 1880s
to the 1980s to show the ways in which the art of portraiture
has been changed by trends in 20th century art. Visitors will
find easy navigation through the show's five sections.
One
of these is New Themes for a New Century, talking about
20th century themes such as Celebrity Culture; Gender, Race, and
the Body; and the Uses of Photography.
Included are a comic-book style portrait of Robert Kennedy by
Roy Lichtenstein that appeared on the cover of Time magazine on
May 24th, 1968, and pop artist Andy Warhol's romantic drawing
of realist artist Jamie Wyeth that Warhol began by tracing Polaroids
of Wyeth projected onto the canvas.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Supported by funds from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the
Genealogical Society of Utah, and the National Archives
of Scotland, the Scottish Archive Network has three
primary aims.
The
first objective is to convert fifty of the primary Scottish
archive catalogues into electronic format, the second is
to make the wills and testaments of Scots from 1500 to 1875 available
online, and the third is to "provide a host of other
valuable online resources for anyone interested in the written
history of Scotland."
While
the fifty primary Scottish catalogues are not all online yet,
the Network Web site offers a good sample of the diverse printed
historical records of the Scottish people.
Visitors
will want to make sure and look at some representative examples
of Scottish wills from the past four hundred years, and then take
a look at the Research Tools area, which contains helpful hints
for deciphering Scottish handwriting and a glossary of terms used
in the wills.
Visitors
hoping to trace their Scottish heritage will want to take a look
at the Family History area, which will help them utilized the
excellent genealogical resources provided by the Network. Visit

11. Global Trade: Black empowerment. A report from a correspondent
in South Africa
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = =
Only
a few blacks have benefited from the empowerment of blacks in
South Africa, Why? This is part of the problem with "black
economic empowerment." (BEE) It has become
a show involving a few prominent black personalities, all with
serious political connections.
All
in all, one can count the individuals who have benefited mostly
from black economic empowerment on one, maybe two, hands.
Who
is to blame for this? Is it a government which has not put proper
Black Empowerment guidelines in place, nine years after our country
became a democracy and all of us realised that Black empowerment,
along with affirmative action and employment equity, would have
to become a reality to address the inequalities in our society?

13. Global Trade: Investing in Land in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe)
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
London - President Robert Mugabe has awarded a Chinese
company a tender to grow maize on more than 100 000ha in a desperate
attempt to avert an unprecedented food crisis.
The
land was mostly seized from white farmers (including one of our
investors) and is now lying fallow after its new black owners
failed to take it up because of lack of farming equipment. (Or
for other obvious reasons)
Mugabe's
decision to approve huge land allocations to the China International
Water and Electric Corporation, a state-owned company, contradicts
his claims that he wants to empower black Zimbabweans by giving
them land seized from white farmers. To read more,

Editor's
Note: We wish to point out that in terms of the old "apartheid"
system adopted by Rhodesia and South Africa, the Chinese were
classified as "blacks", but the Japanese (because of
investment protocols in South Africa and Rhodesia) were classified
as "honorable whites". Do you make sense of this?

If
you walk into a bathroom and the toilet seat is decorated with
the British colors (red, white and blue), you have probably wandered
into the loo at the British Bureau of Florida headquarters
in downtown Miami.
Whether
doing business with British corporations or looking to meet British
singles, the bureau is the place to go, according to its founder.
Although
there are no official figures of how many Brits live in Florida
because so many of them are here illegally, the British Bureau
estimated there are about 400,000 British residing in South Florida,
probably most of them illegally, but who cares?

15. Immigration: Canada is becoming more attractive
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The
ethnic makeup of the Canadian population is increasingly diverse,
new data from Statistics Canada show.
Information
from the 2001 census released Tuesday indicates that the number
of foreign-born residents in Canada is at its highest level since
1931, Statistics Canada said, partly because of a surge in the
number of immigrants from Asia.
The
latest census numbers show that 5.4 million people, or 18.4 per
cent of the total population, were born outside Canada.
That
is an increase over the 1996 census, which showed that immigrants
made up 17.4 per cent of the population.
Immigration
Minister Denis Coderre said in a statement that he was pleased
with the numbers of people coming to Canada, and with the increasing
numbers of immigrants who are choosing to take up Canadian citizenship.
"Immigration
has always played an important role in building Canadian society,
and we can see that this trend is continuing," he said.

16. Immigration: Does the USA have a heart?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Fair
process by INS urged for scam victims. By Jessie Mangaliman
of The San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News.
In our Newsletter last month, we mentioned the plight of some
Korean families being victims of corruption and fraud in the INS.
At the request of one of our clients we bring this case up to
date.
Two
members of the state Assembly introduced a resolution Monday asking
the INS to conduct a "fair process'' when considering whether
to deport Bay Area immigrants who were issued fake green cards
by a former INS supervisor more than a decade ago.
Assemblyman
Manny Diaz, D-San Jose, and Assemblywoman Carol Liu, D-Los Angeles
co-wrote the resolution, which also asked U.S. Attorney General
John Ashcroft to review the cases fairly.
"These
immigrants thought they were going through a legal process and
then they find out it was scam,'' Diaz said Monday. "I
don't think it's right that the INS is now trying to deport them.''
Last
month, two San Jose legislators, U.S. Reps. Mike Honda and Zoe
Lofgren, asked that the attorney general suspend the deportation
hearings until each case is carefully reviewed. The request came
after Mercury News articles detailed the scheme by a former INS
supervisor, Leland Dwayne Sustaire, who admitted receiving $500,000
in bribes from immigration consultants in exchange for issuing
275 green cards over a period of 12 years.
Sustaire
and four San Jose immigration consultants were convicted in the
scam. Sustaire avoided jail time by testifying against the consultants.
(Way to go boy)
Many
of the mostly Korean immigrants are Bay Area professionals, who
said they didn't know about the scheme. At least one has been
deported; 16 others have received deportation notices.
"This
corruption at the INS could devastate the lives of hundreds of
families if we do not intervene immediately,'' Diaz said.
He
is asking the INS to conduct a case-by-case review before proceeding
with deportations.
INS
spokeswoman Sharon Rummery declined to discuss the resolution,
and a spokesman for Ashcroft could not be reached for comment.
"The
Assembly is asking the attorney general to do what's right,''
said Santa Clara attorney Alex Park, who represents 95 of
the immigrants. "Every single effort is going to make
a difference in finding a solution.''
Corruption
is as rampant in the INS of the US government as it is in many
African and Arab countries, only this past week the following
incidents were exposed
1.
Two employees of the INS' California Service Center were indicted
on charges of deliberately shredding thousands of documents -
including immigration applications - in order to cut down the
backlog at the service center, obviously to keep their records
clean, as most do very little work each day.
2. Officials of the General Accounting Office were able to successfully
use fake IDs and phony names to easily get past border agents
at US ports of entry along the Canadian and Mexican borders as
well as at an airport in Florida.
3. The US consulate in Nuevo Laredo was shut down because of allegations
that US employees were selling visas.
While it is impossible to totally rid government of corruption
and incompetence, it seems that immigration officials at the INS
and State Department have had more than their fair share in recent
years.

AMR,
the corporate parent of American Airlines, posted the biggest
yearly loss in aviation history on Wednesday, sending its shares
tumbling 23 percent.
The
world's largest airline, battling a perception that it will have
to follow some major rivals into bankruptcy, reported a loss of
$3.5 billion in 2002 and warned that it had to cut costs drastically
to keep flying.
Analysts
and AMR executives said that even though the quarterly numbers
actually showed improvement, the underlying trend showed AMR was
operating at an unsustainable level - losing about $5 million
a day.

19. Travel: Visiting Cape Town
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
British
Airways (BA) carried 34 percent more passengers to Cape Town
between April and December last year than ever before in its 70
years of flying to this country, Alan Burnett, the airline's area
manager for Africa, said yesterday.
Although
the airline provided an extra 1,200 seats a week on three additional
flights to Cape Town this summer, bringing the total number of
flights to 10 a week, "thousands of would-be passengers
had to be turned away", he said.
Burnett,
who is in South Africa to prepare for negotiations between the
British and South African governments on air traffic rights next
month, said: "We want to be able to provide sufficient
flights to ensure that South Africa realises its potential as
an international tourism destination. That's why I'm here."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The
British railway system was one of the first national systems in
the world; so, it is not surprising that they also have the largest
railroad museum in the world. Offering a number of online exhibits,
their site is an excellent resource for anyone, young and old,
hoping to learn more about the history of railroads in Britain.
They
have over 1.4 million photographs in the collection. For starters,
users may want to look at the Frequently Asked Questions section,
where the Museum's experts answer a number of queries, such as
"How does a steam locomotive work?" and "What
is the world's heaviest train?"
From
there, users will want to take a virtual tour of the Museum by
navigating to the Panoramas section, where they will have the
ability to look around the Museum's Great Hall, where legendary
British locomotives are kept, as well as viewing the interior
of the Mallard, the world's fastest steam locomotive.
The
digital exhibits are located in the Exhibits section, which includes
presentations combining short essays and visual materials on nine
different themes, including "The History of Railway Photography;"
"Railway Posters;" and "North by
Northwest," which highlights recent photographic work taken
along rail routes in Scotland.
If
you have nostalgia for the bygone steam engine age, this is a
great site to
visit.

21. Travel: Tourist Industry in the Doldrums
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Geneva
- The tourist industry has lost 6.6 million jobs worldwide in
the past two years, putting one employee in 12 out of work, a
report by the International Labour Organization said Tuesday.
"The
rebound expected by the tourist industry in 2002 simply did not
take place," ILO director general Juan Somavia said.
After
growing by four percent or more for several years, demand in the
sector stagnated last year, causing a continued loss of jobs without
the slightest sign of a turnaround in 2003.
"We
believe the global tourist industry will not regain the levels
of 2000 before 2005," Somavia estimated. To read the
