another
bullish
performance
overall

all
round
over

of
the
year;
this

is

to
provide

Foreign
direct
investment
in
South
Africa
may
have
slumped
by
more
than
40
percent
in
the
past
year
from
2005,
but
these
figures
don't
mean
foreign
investors
are
leaving
in
droves.
According
to
the
UN
Conference
on
Trade
and
Development
(Unctad),
SA
attracted
just
$3.7-billion
(R27-billion)
in
foreign
inflows
in
2006,
42.7
percent
lower
than
the
previous
year.
In
2005,
SA
lured
$6.4-billion
(R47-billion)
from
foreigners.

Namibia
is
quickly
becoming
a
major
producer
of
uranium.
A
recent
discovery
of
a
new
source
of
the
mineral
increases
the
count
of
uranium
deposits
in
the
country
to
eight.
The
discovery
has
attracted
the
attention
of
Australian
investors,
and
has
also
sparked
Namibian
ambitions
for
nuclear
energy.

In
a
very
real
way,
Samuel
Clemens
cut
his
teeth
on
the
Mississippi
River
as
an
apprentice
steamboat
captain
in
the
late
1850s.
Years
later
he
would
draw
on
these
experiences
for
a
number
of
the
works
he
would
write
under
the
name,
Mark
Twain.
This
multimedia
website
created
at
Northern
Illinois
University
explores
his
time
in
and
around
Big
Muddy
through
a
number
of
interactive
maps,
historic
images,
and
audio
content.
By
clicking
on
the
Twain's
Life
and
Works
section,
visitors
can
read
a
number
of
essays
written
by
Gregg
Camfield
of
the
University
of
the
Pacific
on
such
topics
as
the
economic
importance
of
the
river
during
Twain's
life,
as
well
as
other
pieces
on
related
topics.
Moving
along,
visitors
can
perform
detailed
searches
across
the
entire
database
and
also
listen
to
songs
from
the
period,
such
as
Steamboat
Bill.

"The

not
come
to
those
who
have
a

It
