He thought he was just taking a sea view… but when he loaded the digital camera card on to his computer, the round metallic ‘craft’ was in the centre of the shot, about two miles away.This news surprisingly didn’t make it big on international papers.

Emad Mekay - Washington, United States A deal between Starbucks and Ethiopia that ends their trademark dispute and offers more benefits to Ethiopian coffee farmers has been hailed as a potential model for other poor nations seeking to better use the modern trading system, especially the often-controversial intellectual property rights provisions. “This agreement represents a business approach in step with 21st-century standards in its concern for rights rather than charity and for greater equity in supply chains rather than short term profits,” said Raymond C Offenheiser, president of Oxfam America, the advocacy organisation that has been campaigning on behalf of Ethiopia since last October.

Following on from my earlier article on little 6-year-old Connie Talbot performing at UK-iTV1's " Britain's Got Talent ", while searching on the internet a few days ago for information on Connie ( pictured Left ), I've recently learned that Connie's little wonderful performance wasn't quite as short-lived as I initially thought it was.

Slawter Unknown to vast majority of his countrymen, an American scientist working quietly with test tubes, germs cultures, and microscopes in a mid-Western laboratory, has made a series of astounding discoveries that may give the medical profession control over a number of deadly diseases. He is Dr. Arthur I. Kendall, professor of research backteriology in the Northwestern University Medical School at chicago. Made public in a few weeks ago, his findings have been hailed the world over as the greatest forward step in medical bacteriology since the days of the immortal Pasteur.
