3 years ago the state of Ethiopia began what would become a monumental struggle when they announced their intention to trademark their Coffee Bean. The Ethiopian highlands & the surrounding "horn of Africa" were the origin of the drink coffee as far back as the 9th century [common era]. Specifically the Ethiopian state wanted to assert internationally recognised intellectual copyright on a range of coffee beans which to this day are mostly cultivated in the east African state. Many welcomed the move as evidence that late 20th century capitalism which has seen ownership concepts extended to ideas, living organisms & even specific genecodes could be a game which the poorest states might play to their advantage as well. Then came the orchestrated response of the Seattle USA based multi-national corporation starbucks. Earlier this month both the company and state came to a settlement. read full story / add a comment

'The Irish poet Brendan Kennelly once described Bewley's Café in Grafton Street as the 'heart and the hearth of Dublin'. Dublin, he said, would not be Dublin without Bewley's. These sentiments have been echoed by generations of Irish people since Joshua Bewley first introduced tea to the Irish public in 1835. Bewley's is a name synonymous in the history of Dublin and more recently of Ireland as a whole. Bewley's itself has a rich history of growth and survival which has proved it to be one of the last bastions of tradition in a changing Ireland.' read full story / add a comment

In the eyes of Islamists, Las Vegas is the Sodom and Gomorrah of modern times: a city where women not only bare their bodies but also sell them in the all-engulfing pursuit of the god they call Dollar, while men drown their soulless bodies in alcohol and gamble away their own god, Money. Yet this is where a number of strict-living Islamist terrorists, including the leader of the 9/11 hijackers, Mohamed Atta, and four other 9/11 hijackers spent part of their summer shortly before they committed their evil deed. read full story / add a comment
