1. "Why are you such a manwhoring asshole?" I asked, my face inches from his. "Why are you such a cockblocking priss?" he asked, and when I opened my mouth to tell him exactly what I thought, the fucker kissed me. Kissed me. Placed his lips on mine and kissed me. Under the moon and the stars, with the sounds of the waves crashing and the crickets cricketing."

Author: Andrew James Pritchard
4. "Everything in New York is a photograph. All the things that are supposed to be dirty or rough or unrefined are the most beautiful things. Garbage cans at the ends of alleyways look like they've been up all night talking with each other. Doorways with peeling paint look like the wise lines around an old feller's eyes. I stop and stare but can't stay because men always think I'm selling something. Or worse, giving something away. I wish I could be invisible. Or at least I wish I didn't look like someone they want to look at. They stop being part of the picture, they get up from their chess game and come out of the frame at me, blocking my view."
Author: Ann Marie MacDonald

Author: Aravind Adiga

7. "Do women always take this long?" Darién sprang forward to find out what was keeping his bride, but Maxim, Shara and Serone stepped in front of him, blocking his path."She's late!" the prince fumed, his heart pounding, and his breathing ragged. "Maybe she changed her mind," he said before Maxim snapped a picture of him with a digital camera, blinding him. "What the hell?" Darién shook his head to clear the momentary stun from the flash.Maxim shrugged nonchalantly, his wicked dark eyes glittering with humor, "Aleta put me in charge of photography--something about making a scrapbook…or whatever. Anyway…nothing says good times like a stressed-out groom on the verge of nuclear." He smiled, wagging his dark brows up and down. "Priceless."
Author: Beth Mikell
8. "I know in my life there have been breaches, but I also know that I am very good at blocking out the memories that serve me no purpose."
Author: Carrie Ryan
9. "Magnus? Magnus Bane?""That would be me." The man blocking the doorway was as tall and thin as a rail, his hair a crown of dense back spikes. Clary guessed from the curse of his sleepy eyes and the gold tone of his evenly tanned skin that he was part Asian. He wore jeans and a black shirt covered with dozens of metal buckles. His eyes were crusted with a raccoon mask of charcoal glitter, his lips painted a dark shade of blue. He raked a ring-laden hand through his spiked hair and regarded them thoughtfully. "Children of the Nephilim," he said. "Well, well. I don't recall inviting you. I must have been drunk."
10. "An ancient statement declares that "God is no respecter of persons." What this means at the mystical level is that Spirit/The Universe doesn't know or see separate "people" any more than the sun sees separate sunbeams, the ocean recognizes separate waves, or a tree views the branches as separate from each other. All of Life is a unity, expressing fully at every point in the universe. Nowhere is it more or less. Nowhere is it withholding anything. In other words, the only thing blocking your good is your lack of acceptance."
Author: Derek Rydall
11. "But why was the room suddenly becoming so dark? It was the middle of the afternoon. With a supreme effort Giuseppe Corte, who felt himself paralyzed with a strange lethargy, looked at the clock on the nightstand beside the bed. It was 3:30. He turned his head in the other direction and saw that the shutters, in obedience to some mysterious command, were closing slowly, blocking the passage of light."
Author: Dino Buzzati
12. "I write poetry because I can't disobey the impulse; it would be like blocking a spring that surges up in my throat. For a long time I've been the servant of the song that comes, that appears and can't be buried away. How to seal myself up now?…It no longer matters to me who receives what I submit. What I carry out is, in that respect, greater and deeper than I, I am merely the channel."
Author: Gabriela Mistral
13. "There is a man blocking our way. Sitting astride a tractor with a big scooping bucket on the front, he yells at us for being on his property. We explain the boats, and he says we can't tie up there, that this is his restaurant. We say there's no room anywhere, that the Coast Guard won't let us leave, that they'll shoot at us if we do. He tells us we better go fucking home and get our guns. He tells us we're at war."
Author: Hugh Howey
14. "I agreed. By this time the drink was beginning to cut the acid and my hallucinations were down to a tolerable level. The room service waiter had a vaguely reptilian cast to his features, but I was no longer seeing huge pterodactyls lumbering around the corridors in pools of fresh blood. The only problem now was a gigantic neon sign outside the window, blocking our view of the mountains -- millions of colored balls running around a very complicated track, strange symbols & filigree, giving off a loud hum...."Look outside," I said."Why?""There's a big ... machine in the sky, ... some kind of electric snake ... coming straight at us.""Shoot it," said my attorney."Not yet," I said. "I want to study its habits."
Author: Hunter S. Thompson
15. "Phury stepped up in front of her, blocking the view as leaned down and put his mouth right to Throe's ear. As he squeezed Throe's biceps until it screamed in pain, the Brother growled softly, "You get hard and I'll castrate you as soon as she leaves."Well .. If that wasn't crystal clear."
16. "I'm not cock-blocking for kicks and giggles. The mothership called"
17. "A blanket is a shield, blocking out the breeze, and an insulator, keeping in body heat."
Author: Jarod Kintz
18. "Sean stood there with a mischievous grin, hand still forming a claw. He'd tapped on the door with his fingernails to fool me.I slammed the door in his face.Before the latch caught, the door bounced open again. Cameron stood just behind Sean with the rubber toe of his shoe blocking the door from shutting. "You look likehell," Cameron said."I look like Sean." ?is was a joke from my darkest memory. If Sean told me I was ugly, I could deflect the insult easily, because he was calling himself the same name. IfCameron told me I was ugly, he was also insulting Sean, and Sean would get revenge on him without me having to do a thing."
Author: Jennifer Echols
19. "You can plan for things, work towards them for years, and yet they never materialize. Or you can just happen to be in the right place at the right moment, and everything falls into place. If you want to believe in something like Fate, she's a capricious character. Sometimes she stand there blocking the doorway you were born to pass through, and sometimes she takes you by the hand and leads you through the minute you poke your nose out. And the stars gaze down and keep their counsel."
Author: John Ajvide Lindqvist
20. "I don't mind exercise but it's a private activity. Joggers should run in a wheel - like hamsters - because I don't want to look at them. And I really hate people who go on an airplane in jogging outfits. That's a major offense today, even bigger than Spandex bicycle pants. You see eighty-year-old women coming on the plane in jogging outfits for comfort. Well my comfort - my mental comfort - is completely ruined when I see them coming. You're on an airplane, not in your bedroom, so please! And I really hate walkathons: blocking traffic, people patting themselves on the back. The whole attitude offends me. They have this smug look on their faces as they hold you up in traffic so that they can give two cents to some charity."
Author: John Waters
21. "In the West, and among some in the Indian elite, this word, corruption, had purely negative connotations; it was seen as blocking India's modern, global ambitions. But for the poor of a country where corruption thieved a great deal of opportunity, corruption was one of the genuine opportunities that remained."
Author: Katherine Boo

Author: Katie McGarry
23. "Trout trudged onward, a stranger in a strange land. His pilgrimage was rewarded with new wisdom, which would never have been his had he remained in his basement in Cohoes. He learned the answer to a question many human beings were asking themselves so frantically: "What's blocking the traffic on the westbound barrel of the Midland City stretch of the Interstate?"
Author: Kurt Vonnegut
24. "M'Dear," I said cordially, "Your butt's blocking my bumper. Do you think you could move your loitering five feet to the south and let me leave?"
Author: Maggie Stiefvater
25. "On good days, Quinn and Eugene regard each other as pieces of strange furniture brought in by Yula to add further clutter to the house. Eugene likens his grandfather to a bookshelf put in front of a window, blocking all light, and Quinn thinks the boy is like a footstool pushed carelessly to the centre of the room, a booby trap, something to trip over and skin one's knee. Whirling around them like a dishcloth after dust is Yula, who serves them soup and wonders why her father and son can't see each other as she sees them."

Magda has appeared from out of nowhere. "Maybe there's some in the freezer."
Author: Meg Cabot
29. "When we think of racism we think of Governor Wallace of Alabama blocking the schoolhouse door; we think of water hoses, lynchings, racial epithets, and "whites only" signs. These images make it easy to forget that many wonderful, goodhearted white people who were generous to others, respectful of their neighbors, and even kind to their black maids, gardeners, or shoe shiners--and wished them well--nevertheless went to the polls and voted for racial segregation... Our understanding of racism is therefore shaped by the most extreme expressions of individual bigotry, not by the way in which it functions naturally, almost invisibly (and sometimes with genuinely benign intent), when it is embedded in the structure of a social system."
Author: Michelle Alexander
30. "Three days later, Mrs. Dalloway was in the hall, blocking the classroom door. 'Hi there, Dick. Are you prone to seizures?''Uh, no.'Thirty minutes later I was wishing I'd said 'Uh, yes,' because then she's have had to turn off the strobe light. Then again, it might not have made a difference; the loud electronic music and Mrs. D's yelling probably would have been enough to do me in anyway."
Author: Mindi Scott
31. "One should, when overwhelmed by the shadow of a giant, move aside and see if the colossal shadow isn't merely that of a pygmy blocking out the sun."
Author: Novalis
32. "Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat."
Author: Oscar Wilde
33. "To learn theory by experimenting and doing.To learn belonging by participating and self-rule.Permissiveness in all animal behavior and interpersonal expression.Emphasis on individual differences.Unblocking and training feeling by plastic arts, eurythmics and dramatics.Tolerance of races, classes, and cultures.Group therapy as a means of solidarity, in the staff meeting and community meeting.Taking youth seriously as an age in itself.Community of youth and adults, minimizing 'authority.'Educational use of the actual physical plant (buildings and farms) and the culture of the school community.Emphasis in the curriculum on real problems and wider society, its geography and history, with actual participation in the neighboring community (village or city).Trying for functional interrelation of activities."
Author: Paul Goodman
34. "I heard the man and woman cry a warning as I frantically racked my brain for some sort of throat-repairing spell, which I was clearly about to need. Of course the only words that I actually managed to yell at the werewolf as he ran at me were, 'BAD DOG!'Then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a flash of blue light on my left. Suddenly, the werewolf seemed to smack into an invisible wall just inches in front of me...."You know," someone said off to my left, "I usually find a blocking spell to be a lot more effective than yelling 'Bad dog,' but maybe that's just me."
Author: Rachel Hawkins
35. "You can't do a blocking spell, and you've never heard of L'Occhio di Dio? Man, what kind of witch are you?"I had an incredibly nasty retort ready that involved his mother and the U.S. Navy, but before I could get it out...."
36. "Shadows are created all around us whenever something blocks the light. And so it is with the shadow of doubt. When we focus on how inadequate we feel, or what others are thinking about us, we cast a shadow of doubt in our minds by blocking the light of God's truth in our hearts. Yet we were not designed to block the light or to be the light. We were created to live in the light, by finding our confidence in what God thinks about us."

38. "Hoover Dam," Thalia said. "It's huge."We stood at the river's edge, looking up at a curve of concrete that loomed between the cliffs. People were walking along the top of the dam. They were so tiny they looked like fleas.The naiads had left with a lot of grumbling—not in words I could understand, but it was obvious they hated this dam blocking up their nice river. Our canoes floated back downstream, swirling in the wake from the dam's discharge vents."Seven hundred feet tall," I said. "Built in the 1930s.""Five million cubic acres of water," Thalia said.Graver sighed. "Largest construction project in the United States."Zoe stared at us. "How do you know all that?""Annabeth," I said. "She liked architecture.""She was nuts about monuments," Thalia said."Spouted facts all the time." Grover sniffled. "So annoying.""I wish she were here," I said."

39. "The second Amazon they met wasn't so friendly. She was dressed in full armor, blocking the throne-room entrance. She spun her spear with lightning speed, but this time Percy was ready. He drew Riptide and stepped into battle. As the Amazon jabbed at him, he sidestepped, cut her spear shaft in half, and slammed the hilt of his sword against her helmet. The guard crumpled."Mars Almighty," Frank said. "How did you - that wasn't any Roman technique!"Percy grinned. "The graecus has some moves, my friend."
40. "Arden, Matt discovered, was a force to be reckoned with. She had a flair for fighting with two curved knives, about the length of daggers. She whirled around like a flailing tornado, blocking and striking with fury.--The Fire Stone"
Author: Riley Carney
41. "People often say "Just look for the silver lining." But what do you say to the person surrounded by fog? They don't see a fluffy object in the sky, blocking the sun for a moment or two. But instead, they see everything as it was before, but through the murky, un-clarity of hopelessness. As if they were standing at the bottom of a grimy lake except able to breathe. But not wanting to because with each breath they grow numb from the cold loneliness. What if they're surrounded by a dreary blanket of darkness, made up of their own thoughts, too impenetrable for any light to break through? So what do you tell that person who, as far as the eye could see, only sees fog? A place where there is no silver lining peeking around the corner. Imagine a place where your only companion is the confusion you walk around with."
Author: Sadie Turner
42. "What, no panty ripping today?" I tease. "What is it with you and panties anyway? What's your beef with them?" He lifts his head, grinning at me. "It's a love/hate relationship, baby. I love how they look on you. Hate that they're blocking my access." I giggle."
Author: Samantha Towle

If it gets washed away in a muddy stream, I'll rebuild it. Are things in life so easily broken? It doesn't matter. It's okay."
Author: Setona Mizushiro
45. "He'd performed like a well-oiled automaton last night, blocking out the reality of the woman taking her pleasure beneath him, banishing images of Billie that rushed time and again through his thoughts and threatened the steely control he maintained over his own orgasm. When at last he'd let himself go, one fevered word had pounded through his brain. Billie."
Author: Shelby Reed
46. "Circumstances, knowledge or birth do not determine the realisation of your desires. It is only you who are blocking the achievement of your dreams and goals."
Author: Stephen Richards
47. "He appears to be pointing at a massive water tower, all hinkered down overlooking the river.'That's an old one.' This ancient, dark metal thing. It looks like a shadow of itself.'Wait for it,' John says.'For what?''It.'A few minutes later, the sun slips behind the water tower. The effect is like a total solar eclipse, with the water tower blocking the sun.'Whoa.''Thanks. I arranged that myself."
Author: Susane Colasanti
48. "Quite simply, if you're feeling anxious, angry, a sense of shame, whatever it is, breathe in and agree to touch or feel it. Breathing out, offer space and care to whatever's there. If there's blocking to touching it, emphasize the in-breath and stay embodied."
Author: Tara Brach
49. "Something her father always used to say popped into her head. God hates a coward, Ruby. She tossed her hair over her shoulder and met his stare head-on. "Since you bought me an alcoholic beverage and I'm planning on kissing you, then yes. I'd say this qualifies as a date." His gaze dropped to her mouth, and she couldn't stop herself from biting her bottom lip. If the music wasn't so loud, she knew she would have heard him groan. "Sorry. I can't kiss you." Heat suffusing her face, Ruby pushed her chair back and stood. "No kissing, no fun, no gambling. I'm starting to forget why I found you interesting." Before she could blink, he moved to stand behind her. On either side of her, he laid his hands on the table, effectively blocking her escape. When he spoke, she felt his every word against her neck. "I just watched you bend over a pool table in those ridiculously tight jeans. Over. And over. You think I could stop at kissing?"
Author: Tessa Bailey
50. "Wilhelm Reich identified "armor" as the sum total of typical character attitudes, which an individual develops as a blocking against his emotional excitations, resulting in rigidity of the body, lack of emotional contact, "deadness". Functionally identical to muscular armor (chronic muscular spasms)"

Risk assessment of fluoride intake from tea in the Republic of Ireland and its implications for public health and water fluoridation
Author: Waugh DT, Potter W, Limeback H, Godfrey M.
Publish Date: February 26. 2016
Volume/Page: 13(3).
Type: Other, Food Survey, Review
Categories: Total Body Burden, Sources of Exposure, Tea
The Republic of Ireland (RoI) is the only European Country with a mandatory national legislation requiring artificial fluoridation of drinking water and has the highest per capita consumption of black tea in the world. Tea is a hyperaccumulator of fluoride and chronic fluoride intake is associated with multiple negative health outcomes. In this study, fifty four brands of the commercially available black tea bag products were purchased and the fluoride level in tea infusions tested by an ion-selective electrode method. The fluoride content in all brands tested ranged from 1.6 to 6.1 mg/L, with a mean value of 3.3 mg/L. According to our risk assessment it is evident that the general population in the RoI is at a high risk of chronic fluoride exposure and associated adverse health effects based on established reference values. We conclude that the culture of habitual tea drinking in the RoI indicates that the total cumulative dietary fluoride intake in the general population could readily exceed the levels known to cause chronic fluoride intoxication. Evidence suggests that excessive fluoride intake may be contributing to a wide range of adverse health effects. Therefore from a public health perspective, it would seem prudent and sensible that risk reduction measures be implemented to reduce the total body burden of fluoride in the population.

Estimated "Threshold" Doses for Skeletal Fluorosis
For over 40 years health authorities stated that in order to develop crippling skeletal fluorosis, one would need to ingest between 20 and 80 mg of fluoride per day for at least 10 or 20 years. This belief, however, which played an instrumental role in shaping current fluoride policies, is now acknowledged by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and other US health authorities to be incorrect.
Skeletal Fluorosis in the U.S.
Although there has been a notable absence of systematic studies on skeletal fluorosis in the U.S., the available evidence indicates that the consumption of artificially fluoridated water is likely to cause skeletal fluorosis and other forms of bone disease in people with kidney disease and other vulnerable populations.

Kaka (født Rajabu Msophe Willer 19. februar 1991 i Allerød), også kendt som Lil' Kaka, er en dansk rapper/toaster inden for reggae og dancehall-genren. Han debuterede i 2007, men fik sit gennembrud på Wafande-hittet "Gi' mig et smil" i 2011. I 2012 udkom Kakas første officielle single "Bang bang (reggaejam)", der har modtaget guld for streaming. Efterfølgende udkom debut-EP'en Kaka. I 2013 fik Kaka et hit med singlen "En sidste sang" – der har modtaget guld for streaming – fra EP'en Eftervirkning.

"Kaka" betyder bror på ki-swahili.

Karriere
I 2007 fik Kaka sin debut på musikscenen, da han var med Natasja på scenen til hendes sidste shows i København, inden hun omkom på Jamaica. Han startede efter ulykken et samarbejde med Lirical D'Mirical og hans sound system Splif Click - sideløbende med at han gjorde sig mere og mere bemærket i den danske reggae undergrund sammen med de unge DJ's fra Youngblood Sound. I 2009 allierede han sig med producerne Pharfar og Fresh-I og deres soundsystem Donkey Sound. I 2011 udkom Wafandes første single ''Gi' Mig Et Smil'', hvor Kaka var gæstevokalist. Det var et par måneder forinden det selv samme år, at Kaka var kommet med sin første udgivelse i samarbejde med Donkey Sound. 'Mere Energi', hed sangen, som var blevet skrevet til
DonkeySound's rytme ALIS RIDDIM, en sang som han efterfølgende også lavede en musikvideo til.

I slutningen af maj 2012 udkom Kaka's første officielle single ''Bang Bang (Reggaejam), som samtidig også var hans første udgivelse på, det dengang netop dannede, pladeselskab Donkey Recs, der var blevet grundlagt af folkene bag Donkey Sound blandt andre producer duoen Pharfar og Fresh-I i samarbejde med Musicall Management.

Kaka udgav en internet EP med navnet "KAKA EP" den 27. August med singlen "Dansk Dancehall". Gæstevokalist Benny Jamz medvirker på nummeret "Fornuften Tilbage". Kaka har optrådt i flere forskellige tv-shows som blandt andet GO' Morgen Danmark og Vild Med Dans.

This was the response Brian Howerton gave me when I asked him about his tattoo. On his very first post to our forum, there was no "hello there", or "is this really fly-fishing?", just the image of his newest, very rad tattoo. An obvious sign of a passion for tenkara. One of the things I'm proudest of in the creation of Tenkara USA is the community developed around it. Not everyone posts on the forum, like Brian, whose first post was the shocker above, but I feel that every single customer we've had is out there talking about tenkara to their friends. The community is just awesome, and this is an incredible example of it.
As Brian explained, he and his daughter "did a three day backpacking trip in August, it was during that trip we discussed tattoo ideas while killing time in the tent I think. She designed this based on that talk with me just doing the general layout. She wanted it to look painted on with a brush, even tried to simulate brushstrokes." On the top left you'll find our logo – Brian, hope we make you proud to carry that in your arm forever! – then a very neat design of the sakasa kebari (reverse hackle fly) below it, and on the right side are markings from 9 to 18 inches, which is how he's measured fish for many years.
Pretty cool Brian, pretty cool! If you visit Japan you may not be allowed into their onsen (hot-springs), but this will definitely be a good conversation starter with any yakusa-turned-tenkara-angler over there.
P.S.: no, we did not pay Brian to get the tenkara tattoo, but will be sending him a gift!
I dont have a tatoo but license plate on my new jeep is 10karabm. More people get it than i thought would.

I was elated when asked to design this years Snowshoe for the Cure! The Komen Colorado gals are wonderful and creative and I loved working with them. Freedom to express excitement, support and a snowy mountain atmosphere. Looking forward to next year!

Ravigny est une commune française, située dans le département de la Mayenne en région Pays de la Loire, peuplée de .

La commune fait partie de la province historique du Maine, et se situe dans le Bas-Maine.

Géographie

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat océanique dégradé des plaines du Centre et du Nord », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat océanique altéré » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Il s'agit d'une zone de transition entre le climat océanique, le climat de montagne et le climat semi-continental. Les écarts de température entre hiver et été augmentent avec l'éloignement de la mer. La pluviométrie est plus faible qu'en bord de mer, sauf aux abords des reliefs.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent aux données mensuelles sur la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Pre-en-Pail_sapc », sur la commune de Pré-en-Pail-Saint-Samson, mise en service en 1945 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Alençon - Valframbert », sur la commune d'Alençon, dans le département de l'Orne,  mise en service en 1946 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000, à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Ravigny est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (77 % en 2018), une proportion sensiblement équivalente à celle de 1990 (77,9 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
prairies (55,8 %), terres arables (21,2 %), forêts (18,4 %), zones urbanisées (4,7 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Son code postal était donc 61420. Cette curieuse situation ayant toujours provoqué de multiples désagréments, tant pour la population que pour l'administration, il y a été remédié le , par un nouveau rattachement postal au bureau distributeur de Saint-Pierre-des-Nids. Depuis ce jour, Ravigny arbore enfin un code postal bien mayennais : 53370.

Office Rents in Hong Kong's Central Fall 3.2% in Q3 – Biggest Drop in 7 Years
Office rents in Hong Kong's Greater Central area dropped 3.2% in Q3
Grade A office rents in Hong Kong's traditional business district experienced their largest quarterly drop in seven years according to a newly released report, as a slowing mainland China economy and ongoing protests dampened demand in the world's priciest commercial market.
Rents in the Greater Central Area, which includes the Asian financial hub's Central and Admiralty districts, together with the Sheung Wan area at the western edge of Central, fell by 3.2 percent during the three months ending 30 September, according to the latest Hong Kong office report by Cushman & Wakefield.
The Chicag0-headquartered firm's findings are consistent with reports from its competitors as the few tenants signing new leases are increasingly opting for lower-priced locations in Hong Kong, a trend which has helped to push up vacancies in Central after years of fierce competition for the district's commercial towers.
Rents Head South as Vacancies Rise
While Hong Kong's landlord's had held out in the face of slackening demand earlier in the year, with 2019 now mostly gone, the rise in office vacancy levels has started to bring down the cost of obtaining space in the city.
Cushman's Hong Kong team may prefer to stay in the shadows until the market recovers
"As sentiment in the office has soured considerably in Q3 and with no end yet in sight to the current instability, rents across all sub-markets will come under increasing pressure over the remaining months of this year and into 2020," said John Siu, managing director of Cushman & Wakefield in Hong Kong.
City-wide net effective office rentals dropped for the second consecutive quarter to HK$74.7 ($9.53) per square foot (.093 square metre) per month, down two percent quarter on quarter, Cushman's figures show. Central led the way down for office rents with rates for prime space in the core district falling by 2.8 percent during the third quarter, compared to the previous three months, to an average of HK$158.7 per square foot per month. So far this year, rents for prime Central space are down 4.3 percent.
Across the Greater Central area, rents slipped a more precipitous 3.2 percent on a quarter by quarter basis to an average of HK$133.7 per square foot per month and have now slid 3.8 percent during 2019. Boosted by the opening of Swire Properties' One Taikoo Place project in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong East was the only commercial zone in the city to show rising rents during the third quarter with average rents gaining 0.3 percent last quarter to an average of HK$56.7 per square foot per month.
Overall rents in the city fell by 2.0 percent during the third quarter, according to the agency report, falling to an average of HK$74.7 per square foot per month and are now down by 2.2 percent since 1 January.
Empty Offices on the Upswing
The drop in rent comes as some 7.4 percent of office space in the Greater Central Area is now vacant according to Cushman & Wakefield — a nearly 3 percentage point increase from the 4.5 percent of the area's total grade A space that was available at the end of the third quarter of 2018. The figure represented a 1.1 percentage point increase in availability compared to the previous quarter.
The rising vacancy level in Greater Central follows an occupier exodus which saw the commercial area lose 179,629 square feet of occupancy during the three months ending 30 September, according to the agency report, which showed that Hong Kong's core business area has now lost net occupancy of nearly 357,000 square feet of occupancy during 2019.
The trend in the city's core business district paralleled an overall rise in vacancy citywide with the seven commercial hubs tracked by the real estate agency showing an increase of vacancy of 1.2 percentage points over the last year with some 8.2 percent of Hong Kong's grade A office space now vacant, according to the company.
While occupiers were moving out of the Central area, companies took up 295,214 square feet of space city-wide during the third quarter. So far this year total absorption of grade A office space across Hong Kong totals 433,241 square feet, according to the agency's figures, a sum equal to just over 22 percent of the total amount taken up in the full year 2018.
The account of rising office emptiness was echoed by Cushman's competitors at JLL in their Property Market Monitor report released at the end of September. The property consultancy's report indicated that the combined vacancy rate of Hong Kong's traditional business districts, including Central, Wanchai/Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui, in August rose above three percent for the first time in five years due to weakening leasing demand.
Tenants May Have a Happy New Year
With Hong Kong's government seemingly unable to end the current political crisis and China continuing to clamp down on credit on the mainland, Cushman & Wakefield is predicting that that rents in Greater Central will have fallen between six percent and eight percent by the end of this year and the agency projects a further slide of between 8 percent and 13 percent next year.
Across Hong Kong the agency now expects rents will have declined by 5 to 7 percent by the end of 2019, with a further 7 to 9 percent decrease expected during 2020.
Retreat From Central Brings Down Hong Kong Rates
While overall absorption of office space is slowing in Hong Kong, the tendency among occupiers to opt for less expensive locations is also contributing to the slide in average rent levels. This migration to cheaper commercial centres such as Kowloon East and the Eastern district of Hong Kong island shows up in some of third quarter's largest office leases and is already continuing during the first days of the fourth quarter.
In July, London-headquartered advertising agency WPP leased 111,000 square feet in K11 Atelier on King's Road in Quarry Bay, a district where average grade A rental rates stood at HK$60 per square foot per month at the time the deal was signed.
Just this past week Swiss luxury watch brand Audemars Piguet was reported to have leased a 15,000 square foot space in the Landmark East tower in Kwun Tong at a rate of RMB 32 per square foot per month as it prepares to vacate its current pair of locations in Wanchai and Kwun Tong.
