  Johannesburg - California Ghost Town
Today, the most striking evidence that Johannesburg was a prosperous turn-of-the-century mining town is the headframe of the King Solomon Mine (discovered in 1896) and the nearby town cemetery.
Johannesburg was a highly civilized family community, with streets planned out in an orderly arrangement, a working water system that extended to residences, a social organization whose clubhouse included a billiard table and piano...the town even boasted a nine-hole golf course.
Among the town¹s buildings were boardinghouses, banks, churches, a post office, a music hall and two saloons--all occupied by a community of men, women and children who had little to do with the gambling, dance hall girls, and general rowdy living that¹s often associated with this era.

  Discover Johannesburg, South Africa
Johannesburg is located in the eastern plateau area of South Africa, known as the Highveld, at an elevation of 1753 metres, which enjoys a dry, sunny climate with the exception of occasional late afternoon downpours from the months of October to April.
Johannesburg's relatively dry climate has not stopped local residents and the city council from planting an abundance of trees, and the city prides itself on having the most planted trees of any city, about six million, which has created a forest-like appearance, especially in the lush northern suburbs.
Johannesburg is not generally known as a tourist destination, but the city is a transit point for connecting flights to Cape Town, Durban, and the Kruger National Park.

 Improved Algorithm for Accurate Computation of Molecular Solid Angles
In the original semi-analytical algorithm [3], the double overlap integration was achieved by projecting the single atom cones onto a plane normal to the vector G and at unit distance from the origin, where G was calculated as the vector down the centre of the cone that enveloped both atoms (figure 2 and 3a).
For example the region of triple overlap described by the dotted region in figure 7 is bounded by three ellipses, each being the projection of one of the atoms.
In the actual calculation of the solid angle presented by each ellipse (shaded region in Figure 7), all that is required are the angles 1 and 2 and a description of the ellipse with its semi-major axis along the x axis.

 Lonely Planet
The history of the region around Johannesburg is so ancient that it stretches the boundaries of evolutionary science.
The British abolition of slavery in 1834 was regarded by the Boers as an intolerable interference in their affairs, and led to their migration (known as the Great Trek) across the Orange River two years later.
The history of the town of Johannesburg began in 1886 when four sleepy farms on the Transvaal highland were rudely awakened by some fool yelling 'Gold!' The call prompted thousands of digging hoards (amongst them Cecil Rhodes and Barney Barnato) to descend on what turned out to be the richest gold-bearing reef ever discovered.
