Trade value is the price you would receive (reasonably) if you traded the vehicle in for another, e.g., 20,000 currency units if you're a rough driver and the car was actually inherit...

Gibraltar, known locally as the Rock is considered one of the last vestiges of the British Empire, although a recent 2006 agreement between Spain and Britain unofficially ended that status, introducing a far more agreeable accord between the two countries.
Strategically perched on the edge of the Iberian Peninsula overlooking the narrow entrance to the Mediterranean Sea opposite North Africa, this natural fortress of rock was originally part of Spain but was ceded to the British...

Despite many being under the impression that success stories of African exporters are confined to Maghreb countries, such as Tunisia and Morocco, exports in sub-Saharan Africa are far from marginal for some product groups.
For the fifth year in a row, the North Africa region experienced growth at a rate higher than 5% per year (5.7% in 2007), exceeding the levels reached in the 1990s and early 2000s. During 2007, gross domestic product (GDP) growth was almost evenly distributed...

Tourism plays a major role in the economy of South Africa. A lot of emphasis is placed on marketing South Africa as a favoured destination for foreign tourists and until recently, very little attention was paid to the people who really matter, the domestic tourists. Flourishing tourist destinations such as France, Italy and Spain thrive in part because their own people spend a great deal of time and money revelling in all the beauty and pleasures that their countries afford. It can hardly be...

Problems of Teaching of Biblical Languages in Africa

I noted in that article that as it stands today Christianity owes a lot to Hebraic and Greek cultural thought forms and corresponding linguistic expressions.

Regardless of the different viewpoints from which one could exam...
