„"We hope to improve the quality of the coffee," said Eriberto Arias, a Colombian technical adviser with the Cafe Mojsa project. "The intention is to sell into the speciality coffee market which offers much better prices." The market for speciality coffee has been growing in recent years providing a profitable alternative to the cut-throat commercial market for those with something special to offer. Something special A three year pilot for the Cafe Mojsa project has given a clear indication that coffee from the Bolivian Yungas region has the potential to please the palate, and conscience, of the world's more discerning consumers. Arabica coffee beans gain better prices A combination of altitude, soil and a well-timed rainy season mean the high quality Arabica coffee beans grown in the Yungas are unusually large and have a greater concentration of sugars.“

„Cafe´ de Colombia - QUALITY Another aspect of Colombian Coffee that makes it so unique is the country's high quality control standards. It starts in the farm where the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia sends an appointed official to inspect each farm for sanitary conditions, healthy trees and the quality of each harvest. The inspector checks to see if the beans have been washed properly. He looks for adequate bean size, color texture and overall quality.“

BBC News | MEDIA REPORTS | China internet cafe debate hots up
„Up to 15% of children in China's larger cities use internet cafes China announced two weeks ago that no new internet cafes would be approved for three months while the authorities re-registered existing cafes and carried out large-scale checks on their activities. As part of the crackdown, the authorities in Anshan in the north-east province of Liaoning installed "information purifiers" in more than a third of the city's 240 internet cafes - software denying users access to pornographic web sites. Meanwhile, in Shanghai, companies specialising in information are being encouraged to enter the internet cafe market so as "to weaken the function of internet cafes as entertainment". In a debate published on the Beijing Review's website, Communist Party officials warn of the dangers of "online heroin", saying access to pornographic sites and "illegal games" in internet cafes pose a threat to the country's younger generation.“
