Source: reportingoilandgas.org --- 47 minutes ago Ghana celebrated last week its 53rd independence. The focus was on young Ghanaians, and President John Atta Mills has called them to stand for the challenge to participate in the development of the country. Education is key for empowerment of the younger. But the country has much potential which could be used to sustain development. First after his election president Atta-Mills challenge was to stop the depreciation of the Cedi, the national currency. This operation was successfully handled collectively by the government and by mid 2009 the Cedi was stable once more and regained some points against all major currencies. Ghana is now looking forward to a sustained growth with many economic indicators flipping into positive. Inflation is now under control after the implementation of a robust fiscal and monetary policy. Ghana is already the world’s No. 2 producer of cocoa after Ivory Coast and the continent’s No. 2 Gold miner after South Africa. The country should soon become a major commercial oil and gas producer by the end of 2010 when the huge offshore Jubilee field comes on stream. Construction of a deep sea oil port has started already; the plan is to revamp a major rail link from this year to help exploit energy and minerals. Oil production will start by November 2010 and could peak to 120 000 barrels per day within six months. Ghana’s head of state also announced recently that infrastructure investments would help boost employm ...
Source: danlmarmot.livejournal.com --- 51 minutes ago Pictures from today here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/danlmarmot/sets/72157623491232690/ Not much to write about today. Hopped on a quick JetStar flight from Sydney to Gold Coast, where matey Luke picked me up. (The Gold Coast, btw, looks like something out of a sci-fi movie: a big beach with huge oddly shaped residential skyscrapers behind it, some of which are 70 stories tall.) We drove up the twisty roads to Binna Burra Lodge ( http://www.binnaburralodge.com.au/ ), set in the cool subtropical rainforest about 20km inland from the Gold Coast, and about 80km/50 miles south of Brisbane. Binna Burra was indeed misty and cool and damp, and we set out on a short 5km walk to Tullawallal, the northernmost grove of Antarctic beech trees. These trees aren't true beeches (their scientific name is Nothofagus moorei), but are in the same family (along with oaks and chestnuts)--they're a relict of tens of millions of years ago when Australia was joined to South America through Antarctica, and the weather was quite a bit warmer. The same types of trees exist on New Zealand, New Guinea, and Chile today; there are fossils of these trees in Antarctica, and their odd distribution inspired the theory of plate tectonics. Here, they've been rafting north on Australia as it's been drifting north towards the equator, and they reach the northernmost limit in these wet volcanic soils at 3000' or 900m elevation. Seeing these trees was interesting. But the ...
