There is a great feud between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, I still did not figured out what it is but supposedly this gave indirect rise to ISIS which conflict is now spilling over into Lebanon. How and it is connected I have not figured it out.

The total toll makes the incident by far the bloodiest since rioting involving Uighurs and members of China's Han majority killed around 200 people in the regional capital Urumqi in 2009.

Police had arrested 215 "terrorists" while 13 civilians were also wounded in Monday's attack on a police station and government offices in Shache county, or Yarkand in the Uighur language, in Kashgar prefecture, according to the official Xinhua news agency.

Coffee Producers Sell More at Home, Driving Up the Price of a Cup
Consumption Surges in Brazil, Vietnam and Colombia; More Beans Once Destined for Export Are Sold Domestically
online.wsj.com

The world's biggest coffee producers are turning into their own best customers, a shift that is driving up the price of a cup from São Paulo to San Francisco.

Coffee consumption is rising at a breakneck pace in Brazil, Vietnam and Colombia, which together produce 60% of the world's beans. Brazilians' purchases of packaged coffee is expected to total 1.03 million tons of coffee this year, surpassing the U.S. as the world's top coffee drinker for the first time since at least 1999, according to market-research firm Euromonitor International.

As incomes rise, consumers are switching from cheaper beverages like tea. They are also demanding higher-quality beans, often the same varieties used by big roasters in the U.S. and Europe.

Agree that the gap and widening of the gap and the falling in between the gap are increasingly serious and eventually determining issues

Recommendation, print, to make all equally poor, would be one way

Or, print, to enable all to become similarly rich, another

Should the two ways fail to work, we are in trouble :0)
