[Nina Timm] Home-made yoghurt - why would anyone want to make it if the shelves are filled with all sorts of yoghurt? Low-fat, full cream, low sugar, real fruit, flavoured - phew, the choices are endless. |

[Henrie Geyser] Who said Italians are only good at making small silly cars and sporty machines with macho looks and muscular performance? To prove them wrong Fiat has just launched its rather-off-the wall Qubo which is tailor-made to fit young small families. |

[Nicolle Harding] Working through a list of thousands of individual sites to evaluate their content and context for a good match to a brand could be time-consuming and counter-productive. Blind advertising can be an elegant solution. |
 | PROPERTY & REAL ESTATE
[Michelle Dickens] When it comes to landlord-tenant disputes, interpreting legal obligations can be tricky. The varying nature of issues that might arise is endless in possibility, which means that there is no well-defined guideline as to how to handle a highly specific set of circumstances. |
 | PROPERTY & REAL ESTATE
[Tony Clarke] Although it happens only rarely and the practice is not widespread, there are still some home sellers and buyers who, with the help of their agents, agree to "load" the sale price of the home being bought so as to make it possible for the buyer to qualify for a bond that is large enough to cover the deposit and the transfer fees. |
 | ENERGY & MINING
[John Capel] Women are still a minority in the mining sector and particularly in the lower paid categories. This imbalance creates conditions for sexual harassment and exploitation, and very little has been done to change the macho culture operating within the closed environment of a mine. |

[Charles Siboto] I'm very excited today. It's the first time that I'm going to sit down to write a review for a movie that's rubbish for BizLounge. I should also put in from the outset that I actually liked it, though. A Good Day to Die Hard is a rubbish movie through and through! But it's a fun movie. |

[Dr Deon Nel] WWF South Africa (WWF-SA) welcomes the 2013 Budget's clear indication of the government's commitment towards addressing the increasing problem of acid-mine drainage (AMD) and derelict mines. However, the organisation is disappointed at the level of expenditure allocated to addressing this key threat to the country's water security. |

[Daniel Dercksen] With the release of Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away it is clear; there is only one Cirque du Soleil, undoubtedly the world's greatest fantasy makers, now spinning the ultimate dream. Unique in scope, this immersive experience melds the best elements of seven Cirque du Soleil live shows that play in Las Vegas into one film. It is an impossible undertaking, but there is nothing that can stop the tour de force of this magnificent creative team. |

[Daniel Dercksen] The dynamic love-hate relationship between mother and son is wonderfully saluted in the amusing and not-to-be-missed Guilt Trip. If ever you wanted to take a back seat on an intimate 3000-mile road trip across America with a mother and her son, Guilt Trip is a journey you can wholeheartedly partake in and will definitely remember long after leaving the cinema. |

[Eugene Yiga] From its Broadway debut in early 1982, Athol Fugard's Master Harold and the Boys has been awarded many times and adapted twice for film. Now, more than 30 years after the play first appeared (and was initially banned in South Africa), it is being staged at Cape Town's Fugard Theatre. |

[Jarred Cinman] The Loerie Awards (this year just called "The Loeries") open for entries this week. The entry deadline, whilst not yet publicised, will be fairly generous so there is still time to get something ready to take some metal on the night. |

|  | HUMAN RESOURCES & MANAGEMENT  [Amy Johnson] The marketplace is changing, and workers must adapt and innovate to meet the demand for new skills. This doesn't mean that the older generation of employees are on the out and out or, worse yet, being replaced by the younger, tech-savvier Generation Y employees. It simply means that new skills must be acquired.

[Jordan Scott] In the last few years we have watched Woodstock bloom into a creative space that is full of interesting and intriguing spaces. This week another has been added to the mix - Atelier AHA. This New York-style warehouse is situated in the heart of trendy Woodstock and has been converted into a creative space, but not for one specific purpose, it has been created to house all artistic disciplines. |

[Henrie Geyser] Chevrolet has added some extra glitter as well as a new jewel to the crown of its popular Spark range - a light delivery van that drives and looks like a car. |
 | HUMAN RESOURCES & MANAGEMENT  [Abram Molelemane] As I write this, I'm having a drink with my colleague Nick Owsley, a graduate with an Honours Degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Cape Town. With Human Rights Day approaching I can't help but think how fortunate our generation is.

 | LIFESTYLE & ENTERTAINMENT  [Tim Hill] It is safe to say that one of the most important elements of an artist's or band's career is getting radio airplay. Not only does this create a revenue stream through royalties, but also builds awareness, demand, and also is a sense of validation, thus giving out a certain amount of credibility in the market.
