...Thompson, director of the Hereford Cider Museum. On Oct. 15-16, over 1,000 people are expected to descend on the museum, a kilometer west of the city center (tel: [44-1432] 354207; www.cidermuseum.co.uk), for a festival at which visitors can taste up to 40 varieties of the alcoholic drink, ranging from finer, bottle-fermented sparkling cider to the rougher, cloudy nonfiltered "scrumpy." The festival also provides a chance to learn a little bit about cider history: for example, orchards were once blessed with cider and decorated with corn dollies - ancient fertility figures that were supposed to ensure a plentiful...
...Rwanda through Linkages (pearl). One idea: create cooperatives whose farmers, 20% of whom are genocide widows or orphans, learn a multistep process for producing gourmet coffee that involves harvesting only the ripest beans and washing, sorting and drying them at new community washing stations. Ironically, Rwandans don't traditionally drink coffee.

She set them on the slab of their house while she walked to my house to get a drink of water. When she returned looters had gotten them. Granted, my rifle was old, rusty and useless if a looter got too close, but from a distance I appeared lethal. A group of National Guardsmen tried to talk it away from me late last week, and I told them they could have it when...
...more wary people would be. Intimidate them and not give anything away." It worked. "Clayton was an incredible rebel, in the true sense of the word," Bono recalls fondly. "He would come into class with a flask of coffee and put it up on his desk and start to drink. The people would blow their heads...
