...still thankfully in ownership of these gifts, singing lines like “Why wait for later? / I’m not a waiter” and using words like “lycanthropy” (destined to be among the most-searched definitions on Google this month).

In August, China signed a $41 billion contract to buy liquefied natural gas over the next 20 years from Australia. Last month, China's state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) entered talks with Nigeria to buy as much as one-sixth of the West African nation's proven petroleum reserves, the Financial Times reported.
