BBC News | BUSINESS | Quality focus boosts coffee growers (#)
„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. They are also organically produced without the use of fertilisers and every bean is handpicked. "We are starting to produce excellent coffee," said Julian Toro, technical adviser on the pilot project in Calama.“

BBC - BBC Films - My Summer Of Love
„A long, hot English summer creeps up on the emotions of two 16-year-old girls, who live in the same Yorkshire village but are really a world apart. Mona has had a tough time growing up, but has a wit and intelligence which combine to make her yearn for something beyond the daily grind. Tamsin is rich and spoilt and seems to offer an open door to a life of exotic fascination. This new friendship becomes all consuming and they plan to run away, but as the summer draws to a close it becomes clear that their passion will take a different and darker path.“

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | GM decaf coffee plant created
„But according to the trade body, the International Coffee Organisation (ICO), several major questions remain - not least over how the cost of the GM technology will compare with the industrial decaffeination process used currently. Bitter battle Pablo Dubois, from the ICO, said: "The global market for coffee is about $70bn a year, and decaf makes up about 10% of that. "The main issue would be the economics - is it going to be cheaper to buy GM seeds and grow them than to decaffeinate coffee as we do now?" Other researchers, some in commercial companies, have been working on GM decaf for several years. But Professor Alan Crozier, from the biochemistry department in Glasgow University, UK, says this is the first credible evidence that the GM decaffeination concept actually works.“

„As you know, we try to have these away days about once a year. But the purpose of today is to get away from the office environment and the daily grind and to take a step back, so that we can explore what we really do, what our main strengths are, and where improvements could be made in our systems. Right, well, we’ve got a lot to get through today - lots of exercises, role plays, and I think it’ll be a challenging day. But I also hope it’ll be fun, too.“

„Downshifting means changing your lifestyle – to a better one, I suppose. If you’ve had enough of the daily grind – pack it in! If you’ve had enough of the boring daily routine – pack it in. If you’ve had enough of a boring dead end nine-to-five job – pack it in, too.“
