The Legend of Coffee
There are a number of different stories as to the origin of coffee and how it was discovered.
Though nobody knows for sure, the most common story is about a goat-herd named Kaldi who lived in Eastern Africa, most likely modern day Ethiopia, in or around the year 500 AD.
This goatherd noted that some of his goats, after feeding on an evergreen bush with red berries, began acting strangely. They seemed to become very active and vivacious. Curious about their behavior, Kaldi picked some of the berries and tasted them. He found that they invigorated him and made him more awake.
Coffee Timeline
Prior to 1000 AD
History tells us that other Africans, from the same era as the Kaldi legend, fueled themselves upon protein-rich coffee and animal fat balls and unwound with wine made from the coffee-berry pulp.
c. 1000 AD
The drinking of coffee soon spread to Arabia, most likely by Arab traders, and by the end of the 9th Century, a drink known as "qahwa" (literally meaning "that which prevents sleep") was being made by boiling beans.
1453
Coffee is introduced to Constantinople (later Istanbul) by the Ottoman Turks. The world's first coffee shop, Kiva Han, opens there in 1475. Turkish law makes it legal for a woman to divorce her husband if he fails to provide her with a daily quota of coffee.
c. 1600
Coffee, introduced to the West by Italian traders, grabs attention in high places. In Italy, Pope Clement VIII is urged by his advisers to consider the favorite drink of the Ottoman Empire part of the infidel threat. One sip, however, and he decides to baptize it instead, making it an acceptable Christian beverage.
1607
Captain John Smith helps to found the colony of Virginia at Jamestown; it is believed that he introduced coffee to North America.
1645
First coffee house opens in Italy.
1690
With a coffee plant smuggled out of the Arab port of Mocha, the Dutch become the first to transport and cultivate coffee commercially, in Ceylon - and in their East Indian colony of Java, source of the brew's nickname.
1713
The Dutch unwittingly provide Louis XIV of France with a coffee bush whose descendants will produce the entire western coffee industry when in 1723 French naval officer Bariel Mathieu deClieu steals a seedling and transports it to Martinique. Within 50 years an official survey records 19 million coffee trees on Martinique. Eventually 90 percent of the world's coffee spreads from this plant.
1727
The Brazilian coffee industry gets its start when Lieutenant Colonel Francisco de Melo Palheta is sent by his government to arbitrate a border dispute between the French and Dutch colonies in Guiana. Not only does he settle the dispute, he also strikes up a secret liaison with the wife of French Guiana's governor. Although France guarded its new world coffee plantations to prevent cultivation from spreading, the lady said goodbye to Palheta with a bouquet in which she hid cuttings and fertile seeds of coffee.
1732
Johann Sebastian Bach composes his Kaffee Kantate.
1733
The Boston Tea Party makes drinking coffee a patriotic duty in America.
1815
Coffee beans were first planted in The Hawaiian Islands by Kamehameha the Great's Spanish interpreter and Physician Don Francisco de Paula y Marin. Marin's plantings were unsuccessful.
1825
Coffee was successfully introduced into Hawaii when in 1825 King Kamehameha II and his wife, and a royal party that included Governor Boki of Oahu, made a state visit to England. The party was beset with measles and the King and Queen both died. While bringing the bodies back to Hawaii, Governor Boki stopped in Rio de Janeiro to pick up a number of coffee plants. After returning to Hawaii and having John Wilkinson, a former West Indian planter, plant the trees, the planting stock for the Hawaiian Islands had begun.
1827
After having successfully planted a small field of coffee, Wilkinson died. Others saw the potential of the coffee in the Islands and used seed and cuttings from this small field to begin coffee plantings in other valleys and in other areas around the islands.
1828
Reverend Samuel Ruggles took slips from Wilkinson's field and transported them to Kona making the first plantings at Naole, near Kealakekua Bay. They were planted as ornamental garden plants.
1842
The first commercial venture to produce coffee occurred not in Kona, but in Hanalei on the island of Kauai. In 1845 the venture exported the first 245 pounds of coffee ever from Hawaii, but labor shortages, a drought and a blight put the operation out of our business by 1855.
1870
The peak in coffee production on the Big Island of Hawaii happened during this period. Over 415,000 pounds of coffee were exported. Soon after this period, coffee production suffered due to sugar dominance as the Hawaiian crop of choice and the presence of the white scale blight that attacked the coffee crops.
1890
For a short while, interest in commercial coffee cultivation was revived. This was due to the introduction of the Australian ladybird beetle that effectively controlled white blight and the political changes that made more coffee production land available.
1899
The world coffee market crashes.
1900
Hills Bros. begins packing roast coffee in vacuum tins.
1900
Between 1900 and 1945 donkeys were used as basic transportation in Kona, especially for transporting 100-pound bags of ripe coffee cherry out of the rugged coffee lands up or down to the main road for transport to coffee mills. Dubbed "Kona Nightingales" because of their musical braying, the noble donkey played a vital role in the Kona coffee industry.
1901
The first soluble instant coffee is invented.
1903
German coffee importer Ludwig Roselius turns over a batch of ruined coffee beans to researchers, who perfect the process of removing caffeine from the beans without destroying the flavor.
1906
George Constant Washington, an English chemist notices a powdery condensation forming on the spout of his silver coffee carafe. After experimentation, he creates the first mass-produced instant coffee.
1940
The US imports 70 percent of the world coffee crop.
1994
C. Brewer d.b.a. Royal Kona Coffee, Kona Kai Farms, Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee Co., and Woolson Tea & Spice d.b.a. Lion Coffee Co., filed federal lawsuits that blocked the trade marking of Kona Coffee. This trademark would have aided Kona coffee growers in the battle to combat counterfeiting.
1995
US Customs indicts Koa Kai Farms for counterfeiting Kona coffee
1997
Koa Coffee Plantation opens its doors! The State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture began certifying all Hawaiian coffees by origin (island - district). 100% green Kona coffees are certified and graded on a very strict scale.
1997-98
Hawaiian Isles and C. Brewer, major blenders of Kona coffee, set up camp in Kona causing a coffee cherry bidding war. Local mills who are proponents of only 100% Kona coffee struggle to match the prices of these mills that offer the higher prices. Subsequently, the price of Kona coffee skyrockets and it became apparent that the Kona blend companies were going to cripple the 100% Kona coffee industry. During the previous year a small minority of Kona coffee purists launched a class action lawsuit against several mainland coffee companies who allegedly purchased fraudulent Kona coffee from Kona Kai Farms. The suit targeted several faithful and long time customers and roasters of 100% Kona coffee. Starbucks who purchased a minimal amount of this fraudulent coffee immediately paid a claim of fifteen thousand dollars and vowed never again to buy Kona coffee. Needless to say, this lawsuit has had a devastating effect of potential customers of 100% Kona coffee and has made matters even worse for the hard working local mills trying to sell their high priced 100% Kona coffee.

SHMN: announced the addition of 6 new generic pharmaceutical products targeting asthma and respiratory disease. India's respiratory drug market size is approximately $600 million annually. Acute respiratory diseases in India have grown by 33 percent from 2005-2010 which is a significantly higher growth rate compared to other communicable diseases.
Respiratory diseases are one of the most common forms of ill-health plaguing the Indian population today. They are also a leading cause of hospitalization and death. Allergic respiratory disorders, in particular asthma, have recorded abnormally high levels in India. Even though genetic predisposition is one of the main factors of respiratory disease there is an increased prevalence due to urbanization, air pollution and environmental tobacco smoke.
They look like cool rides. I'll have to try them out. I did Disneys

Holiday World [Indiana] officials announced today the largest single-ride investment in the park’s history — a water coaster that will be the world’s longest when it opens in May 2012.
The ride —called Mammoth — comes at a price of $9 million for the Santa Claus, Ind., park, which celebrates its 65th birthday today with the announcement of the ride.
The ride will span 1,753 feet and cover three acres in Splashin’ Safari, bringing the water park’s size to 30 acres. It will stand at a height of 69 feet from lowest to highest drop and feature six drops — including a first drop of 53 feet at a 45-degree angle.
Mammoth will include 10 six-passenger boats with individual seatbacks, meaning passengers could face forwards, backwards or sideways. Its speed and ride time will be determined during testing next spring.
It will begin with a conveyor ride up the coaster’s lift hill before the first, five-story drop and continue into additional hills, dark, enclosed sections and twists and turns.

HOTM: HotCloud Mobile, Inc. Provides Quarterly Stakeholder Update
Mr. David J. Bleeden, CEO of HotCloud Mobile, Inc., commented, "In addition to our required periodic filings with the SEC, and press releases when we have significant news events, we are going to provide quarterly updates to our stakeholders and interim letters to our shareholders. We are a start-up company, and there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes, laying the foundation for our anticipated future growth. Updates such as this may help retail and institutional investors better understand our story."
Mr. Bleeden continued, "I've built some solid industry relationships, and a large historical customer base, which we are tapping into. Through our partnerships with MacroSolve, FanMaxx and NexBoom™, we have the opportunity to expand and add value per customer through the use of patented, state-of-the-art, viral, social mobile technologies. With our Stars Wireless, Inc. subsidiary, we plan to build out a multi-channel distribution infrastructure to manage retail and wholesale channels, including our HotCloudMobile.com direct-to-consumer website, where we sell the latest in handsets and accessories. We believe the combination of cutting-edge technologies with world-class products and distribution, both retail and wholesale, is a potent catalyst for growth."
"Our first move was to establish a technology partnership with MacroSolve, which positions HotCloud as one of the first vendors of licensed mobile applications under MacroSolve's new patent. This gives us a distinct advantage when approaching potential licensees interested in private-labeled mobile applications," added Mr. Bleeden.
"Shortly thereafter we announced a partnership with FanMaxx and the development of a FanMaxx app targeting celebrities, athletes and entertainers. The app will give them the opportunity to maximize the fan experience and monetize their fan base. We are currently working with several potential licensees in preparation for the anticipated launch of the FanMaxx app in August.
"We then announced a marketing and distribution relationship with NexBoom, whereby HotCloud will use its distribution network and historic customer base to promote and market NexBoom's tablet computer and provide a patented suite of co-branded mobile applications including a mobile platform to offer premium content. NexBoom will also distribute and market HotCloud's apps where appropriate to its network of up to 100M social media end users, and work with HotCloud to promote NexBoom's tablet computer and technology.
"Getting all of this technology into the hands of the consumer is the point. That's where our Stars Wireless, Inc. subsidiary comes in. Stars Wireless will be led by an established industry veteran who really knows this business. This will form the cornerstone of our equipment business."
Mr. Bleeden concluded, "We have a huge opportunity. We've previously cited a study by GetJar, the world's second largest app store, which concluded that the total value of the app market alone could reach $17.5 billion in the next three years. The major carriers are selling iPhones and Android phones in record numbers. As a society our appetite for new and better technologies seems insatiable. At HotCloud we are expending the resources to create a solid foundation for the growth we anticipate."

COSTA MESA, Calif., July 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Force Fuels Inc (OTC-BB:FOFU.ob - News) -- The Company announces the signing of an engagement Letter with Carroll Energy to prepare the preliminary Geological reports needed to drill 15 new wells on the properties Force Fuels acquired.
This program will require reserve analysis, geological evaluations, reservoir mapping, historical production analysis, and log interpretations. These services will include well completion, work over services, roustabout services, and general field construction services.
As for our schedule we are currently recompleting some of our existing wells and plan to move shortly thereafter into the drilling of new wells. Next week we will set a meeting and layout the preliminary drilling plan.
"This is the first step in proceeding with the drilling of the 15 new wells we scheduled this year and starting production from brand new sources. We expect initial production rates from the 15 wells to produce a combined total of approximately 150 Barrels Per Day (BPD) totaling 4500 barrels per month in addition to the production from the recently opened previously shut-in wells. By the end of this year Force Fuels will be in route to substantial monthly production," said Tom Hemingway, President and CEO.
Carroll Energy, LLC , Independence, KS, is a family-owned company with over 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. Terry Carroll Sr. has supervised and provided daily management and operations for numerous oil and gas companies, partnerships and private investors involved in the drilling and completing of thousands of wells, constructing, operating, and maintaining hundreds of miles of natural gas gathering pipeline, compression and dehydration facilities, cumulatively producing more than 15 BCF of gas and 750,000 BBLs of oil.
Force Fuels properties are in Chautauqua and Montgomery County on the southern end of Kansas, well-known oil and gas producing area where several prolific reservoirs are present. Comprising over 2,600 acres, the properties are fully equipped with 54 wells and all the necessary equipment to commence production. In addition Force Fuels is aimed at increasing oil production on the Joint Venture signed in March 2011 on 1200 acres of Pioneer Oil's Oklahoma properties.
About Force Fuels, Inc.
Force Fuels, Inc's primary products of the company are regulated and standardized energy based products, which do not require a marketing or sales force, thus completely eliminating the related expenses. These energy based products include oil, natural gas, solar, wind and hydrogen. In the oil and gas field the company plans to focus on the purchase of marginally producing shallow oil wells, which are relatively inexpensive to operate and can be optimized with existing technologies; the purchase of leases with potential for additional drilling in proven producing areas; and the acquisition of in-house know-how to further optimize production through stimulation, refurbishing and site optimization.

TAMPA, Fla., July 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American Community Development Group, Inc. (OTC Pinksheets: ACYD) today announced that it initiates the first stage of a multiple lot redevelopment project designed to restore and beautify a neighborhood while also substantially increasing client revenue.
The management of the company has focused their efforts on building the housing portfolio and expanding nonprofit relationships to broaden client capacity. This effort will be essential as the company continues to expand beyond the current 14 properties.
Because the redevelopment project will utilize energy efficient and "green" manufactured houses that are hurricane and Katrina qualified, the company feels that the time required for completion will be reduced substantially. Management feels that this coordinated turnkey style effort may become a template for more future projects where warranted.
American Community Development Group, "The Company", was founded as a real estate investment company in the Tampa Bay, Florida market. We intend to acquire properties at tremendously discounted prices during the current market down trend. The Company has also received offers to expand its pilot operations in other markets where distressed real estate prices are prevalent. We then increase shareholder value and revenue by using the properties to house the clients of existing nonprofits groups or other agencies.
A typical 3 bedroom property generates over $30,000 annually in gross revenues because of the extremely high demand for transitional housing. This compares to an average rental income of about $12,000 for a similar property with a traditional tenant.
According to John Folger, President of American Community Development Group, "We are currently acquiring interests in single and multi-family homes, affordable housing, and other high occupancy commercial real estate properties, all while helping members of our community," he continued. "This approach sits well with both the community and our shareholders because we work directly with the nonprofit community to house their clients. This model keeps our properties fully occupied."

Welcome Stone, watching those - we haven't popped a 10-bagger cork in quite a while.
