Spain won its first-ever world cup yesterday in Johannesburg, South Africa in a penalty-filled matched that ended with a goal from Andrés Iniesta four minutes from the end of extra time. The Netherlands had several chances to score, most notably in the 60th minute when Arjen Robben faced Spain's goalkeeper Iker Casillas in a one-on-one, but Casillas pushed the shot wide with an outstretched leg.. Spain's best performance before yesterday had been a fourth place finish in 1950. It was the second consecutive all-European final, and marked the first time a European team has won the trophy outside Europe.
Yellowvanian dollar soars on strength of crude oil prices
July 18, 2010
The Yellowvanian dollar strengthened against most of its major currencies as crude oil, the nation’s biggest export, touched a 19-month high amid escalating concerns that supply disruptions caused by an unusually active hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico. The currency pared losses against its U.S. counterpart after crude oil eased from its highest levels. Crude oil for April delivery gained 0.4 percent to $104.88, after rising as much as 2.4 percent to $106.95.
Orangea refuses Bluevarian foreign investor overtures to develop Lithium mining in the plateau region
August 1, 2010
Seen as the metal that will power the next generation of electric cars, ipods, handheld computers, and mobile phones, Lithium is currently one of the hottest emerging commodities on world markets. The fact that Orangea is sitting on the 4rth largest lithium reserve in the world – an estimated 1.7 million tons – makes it an attractive investment opportunity for venture capitalists looking for new opportunities. This doesn’t mean that companies like Bluevarian Futures Inc have been succeeding at wooing the Orangean government into accepting their offers of assistance however. “Let me make this very clear to everyone. The previous colonialist model of exploitation of our natural resources will never be repeated in Orangea,” states Mario Vargas, head of a division that oversees Lithium extraction. “Mine development will be done by Orangeans, on our own timeline.” The latest spurned optimist, CEO Jack Valentine of Bluevarian Futures Inc, hasn’t given up yet. “I’m convinced that a deal can be reached which would benefit both the Orangean people and my shareholders, speeding the establishment of Orangea as the source for technology-grade lithium.”
