"It's a great collaboration to bring MOTI and movie together," Grandy said, "the product is very sleek, I really like the design."
Started from Las Vegas in 2013, MOTI grew to be a big cigarette alternative pioneer today , and managed to acquire the biggest investment of $50 million from SIG Asia recently, which is the biggest publicized financial support up to now. MOTI is not only the pod manufacturer, but also aims to help improve the lives of the global smoking epidemic by creating an alternative to the bad smelling cigarettes.

Southern Rock for the Apocalypse, Part IV
By Brion McClanahan on May 1, 2020
A list compiled by Brion McClanahan, Tom Daniel, and Jeff Rogers
Good Time Feelin' – Dickey Betts
Betts's solo projects were as good (if not better) than most Allman Brothers albums post Duane Allman. "Good Time Feelin'" is a blistering blues rock tune, and this live version is better than any studio recording of Betts and Great Southern. "I can't get enough, of that wonderful stuff."
I'll Be Running – Molly Hatchet
Molly Hatchet's debut album is one of the best Southern rock efforts of the 1970s. Their three-guitar sound was arguably better than Skynyrd's. From the opening riff, "I'll Be Running" is a groovy in your face guitar assault complete with a harmonica solo, and Danny Joe Brown's growling vocals are the icing on the cake. "Don't remember checking in, but I'm certain to check out."
Ain't Even Close – Molly Hatchet
"Ain't Even Close" has every element that made Molly Hatchet the premier Southern hard rock band of the late 1970s and early 1980s: great hooks, amazing solos, and a driving rhythm. After Danny Joe Brown briefly left the group for a solo project, this comeback album showed that Molly Hatchet was always better with their original front man in the band.
Ain't Leavin' Your Love – Townes Van Zandt
Townes Van Zandt might seem out of place on a list of Southern rock tunes, but Van Zandt was universally recognized as one of the best songwriters and guitar pickers in the South. Just before he died, the front man for the "grunge" band Sonic Youth contacted him to work on an album together. Years of substance abuse shortened Van Zandt's life, but perhaps also gave him the inspiration for his haunting style and lyrics. Either way, Van Zandt was one of the most respected "folk" artists in the United States. "Folk" music is quintessentially Southern, and the term originated as a way for Yankees to claim something they had no role in creating. See Bob Dylan. This song showcases Van Zandt's ability to play a mean blues lick.
Keep on Smilin' – Wet Willie
Alabama based Wet Willie found commercial success with this tune in 1974, but Southern rock fans noticed the band as they consistently opened for the Allman Brothers throughout the 1970s. Their Southern styled rhythm and blues pop sound fused with the musical talents of Mobile, Alabama's Jimmy Hall made this band an important part of the 1970s Southern rock scene. Hall often toured with Hank Williams, Jr. and was nominated for a Grammy for his vocals on Jeff Beck's 1985 album, Flash.
One Way Out – Allman Brothers Band
This little blues tune has Duane Allman showing why he was one of the best slide guitar players in the history of recorded music. Recorded at the Fillmore East in New York in 1971, "One Way Out" is the Allman Brothers at their zenith, from Gregg Allman's gravelly vocals to the "jam" sound that made them one of the best live acts in the United States.
Remedy – Black Crowes
"Remedy" was the second song on the band's sophomore effort, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, but they often opened their shows with the tune, and it is one of their more iconic songs. Everything is quintessentially Southern, from Rich Robinson's muddy guitar sound to the integration of organ and background "soul" singers. This album brought Southern rock back to the forefront of American music in the early 1990s.
Shake Your Magnolia – Blackberry Smoke
Blackberry Smoke has become one of the most recognized Southern rock bands of the last decade, and this little ditty from their first album is as good as any "jukin'" song from the 1970s, including Skynyrd's "Gimmie Three Steps" or "Down South Jukin'." This song is intended to make you dance, or more importantly to get the ladies on the dance floor.
On the Run – The Jompson Brothers
"On the Run" highlights Chris Stapleton's songwriting and his ability to emote a song's meaning vocally. The desperation drips from every note in his voice while the dark, moody melody puts you on the road with him, pedal down, on a midnight-soaked blacktop, "running from the truth" and "running from a lie." This song is perhaps better than Bob Seger's "Turn the Page." It's grittier and just as authentic.
Highwayman – The Highwaymen
There's nothing "country" about the song "Highwayman" by the "country" supergroup The Highwaymen. Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson formed The Highwaymen in 1985 and instantly raced to the top of the country charts with "Highwayman," a blue-collar unapologetic romp through the seedy, hardworking, and adventurous side of American history. Every note in the song pays homage to the rugged individualism that made America, from the western explorers to those who fly "starships."
Workin' – Lynyrd Skynyrd
The post Ronnie Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd released several records in the 1990s and early 2000s, and this song shows that the new lineup with Johnny Van Zant on vocals and Hughie Tomasson (Outlaws) and Ricky Medlocke (Blackfoot) on guitar had as much punch—if not more—than the original group. Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, and Leon Wilkeson were still part of the band when this album was released in 1999.
Gimmie Back My Bullets – Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Gimmie Back My Bullets" is one of the more unapologetic songs in the Skynyrd catalog. The mean streak in this song was born on the streets of blue-collar Jacksonville and in the ditches of the music industry. Van Zant clearly had a chip on his shoulder and the band seemed to have a renewed vigor in 1976. "Tell all those pencil pushers, better get outta my way."
Ain't No Fool – Doc Holliday
This is one of the best unknown Southern rock tunes of the early 1980s. "I may be from the country, baby, but I ain't no fool." Doc Holliday mastered the guitar harmonies of Molly Hatchet and Lynyrd Skynyrd in this fast-paced rocker where Bruce Brookshire makes it known that "sweet Dixie" is his home. "Don't you forget it."
Running With The Crowd – Charlie Daniels
This song wouldn't be included among a Charlie Daniels greatest hits collection, but it should be. From the album High Lonesome, "Running With The Crowd" taps into Daniels's Southern upbringing. He was always honest about his affinity for the people of North Carolina and the South in general, and his advice in this song is timeless: "Do a honest days work for the money you spend, be fast with the ladies and slow with the men, be kind to your horses and true to your friends, and treat every mother's son fair. Don't stay in town late on a Saturday night, don't let no one tease you into a fight, 'cause when they're settled with guns, there ain't nobody right. It's a short trail that leads to nowhere."
Birmingham Blues – Charlie Daniels
This is by far the best "jam" from any Charlie Daniels album. "Birmingham Blues" shows how musically talented the Charlie Daniels band was at every instrument, and the lyrics pining for home are quintessentially Southern. "Sitting here in L.A. lookin' down at my shoes, drowin' my troubles in small talk and booze, sittin' here wonderin' if I could have been born to lose. Had me a fine woman down in Birmingham town, took care of my money and she didn't play around, and all I got left is a bad case of Birmingham blues." Many Southern acts of the 1970s spoke of the allure of Los Angeles only to realize that those L.A. streets weren't paved with gold, as Daniels wrote in the song "Georgia."
Ballad of a Southern Man – Whiskey Myers
Whiskey Myers shows that you can still be proud of being Southern and commercially successful in the modern age. In fact, that might be why they are. The band is as non-PC as any mainstream act in the business, and "Ballad of a Southern Man" is a full expression of the paradox of Southern life: despair filled with hope and defiance in search of acceptance.
Champagne Jam – Atlanta Rhythm Section
"Champagne Jam" is one of the most popular tunes from ARS and has a harder edge than some of their other material. This is one of the reasons the group eventually dissolved. Some members wanted to follow this path while others enjoyed the light rock sound of songs like "So Into You." This song also shows that ARS could jam with the best of the bands from the South.
Every Little Kiss – Bruce Hornsby and the Range
Bruch Hornsby wouldn't have been as successful had he not had he feet firmly planted in the South. "Every Little Kiss" is not just a love song, but a beautiful reflection of small Southern blue-collar America, of longing for home. Hornsby is often lumped into the Midwestern rust belt feel of 1980s pop music, but there isn't anything Midwestern about him or his music. Even his biggest hit, "The Way It Is," while critical of the South, wouldn't have been written if not for the South.
Georgia Pine – Cry of Love
This funky little tune from Cry of Love shows why Audley Freed was in high demand after Cry of Love failed to have much commercial success in the 1990s. He is without question one of the better Southern guitar players of the last thirty years. "Georgia Pine" not only has a face melting guitar solo but a tight rhythm that paces the song throughout. This band should have been more popular.
Over and Over – Georgia Satellites
"Over and Over" is what rock n' roll was supposed to sound like and what the Georgia Satellites do best. You can't get a better "feel good" rock song than this, and it's easy to imagine why the band was signed to a major record label. It's also easy to see why they didn't have much commercial success and have been relegated to "one hit wonder" status. Americans don't seem to like straight ahead rock anymore.

RENSSELAER SOCCER PLAYER FRESHMAN MATT KOZIOL RACES to beat an opposing player to the soccer ball during last week's home game against RIT. The game ended in a 0-0 tie.
RPI was hoping to improve on a string of difficult results as they hosted conference rival Union College at Renwyck Field. The Engineers were looking to slow down an in form Dutchmen side that entered the game 9-1-0.
The game got off to a very exciting start for Engineer fans as RPI's Sophomore Ryan Gracy had an excellent chance to score. He hit a well-struck header only 41 seconds into the match. Unfortunately for RPI, not only was the chance saved, but it was also one of only a few good chances they had throughout the entire first half.
From that point on, Union took control of the game with many threatening chances. However, one of the chances led the Engineer goalie, sophomore Craig Bennett to suffer an injury during a collision. Bennett left with a tie after only 11:35 minutes of play. Freshman Rob Dewald entered and saw out the rest of the game.
Senior Kevan Benn had the Dutchmen's best chance of the half in the 23rd minute. He got onto the end of a dangerous free kick and redirected the ball with his head. Dewald could do nothing as the whole RPI team saw the ball bounce off of the cross bar and out of play.
After the intermission, both teams had a few solid chances to break the deadlock. Union senior Marc Zeyak came close to scoring on the hour mark, but his shot flew past the wrong side of the post. RPI's best chance of the half was created by junior Adam Updegrove. He collected a loose ball and fired a pass to freshman Matt Koziol who then saw his attempt on the open goal saved by a scrambling senior Mike Szczesniak, the Union keeper.
With the game tied after regulation, the Engineers and Dutchmen continued into two periods of overtime. RPI tried to convert their momentum from the late chances into goals, but neither team could score and the game ended in a 0-0 tie.
Union is now 9-1-1, while Rensselaer is 4-3-3. The Engineers head to play Liberty League opponents Clarkson on October 15 at 4 pm and St Lawrence, currently No. 1 in the league, at 2 pm.

There isn't much in your manifesto about communication (the Union website/social media etc). Do you have any plans for these?
Hi there! So I have plans for both the Union website and social media across all three sections of the zone. I chose to specifically not talk about them in my manifesto because I plan on utilising and improving both across every one of my polices. Each point I want to implement relies heavily on communication and social media, and I would integrate both into everything I do. In terms of enterprise, I want to create a dedicated space on the website. The layout of our website is very confusing, and it's difficult to find exactly what you're looking for. By creating dedicated spaces, a student could instantly find the enterprise societies and see the kind of businesses they can get involved in. We have incredible societies running incredible businesses, but it can be difficult to understand exactly who does what, especially because there are so many projects within each group. Through the introduction of skills based volunteering I also aim to utilise the website by ensuring a clear, easy to find space is available to students who want to volunteer, either on a casual or committed basis. I want to make the website as user friendly as possible, and at the moment I don't think it is. In terms of social media, this, again, is something I feel will come out of the introduction of my policies. As part of the introduction of incentives for enterprise societies I want to shout about successes, and this involves every social media platform the Union uses, and the introduction of new ones. Social media is ingrained in the everyday life of our students, and, although steps have been taken this year, there is so much more we can do to engage students. I would use videos, a popular social media trend, to highlight the amazing work our student volunteers are doing, and to create a sense of community around the student body. If you have any further questions or want to talk in more depth about anything do let me know!
Why do you think you will be able to improve engagement within susu, when under your presidency in RAG, engagement has fallen? Why do you think you can engage with students when RAG has a seen a decline in volunteers?
I actually dispute this statement. Under my presidency RAG has broken records, raising more money per event and involving more societies than ever. Our engagement is the best it has been, so much so that we've introduced a dedicated Engagement Officer for the first time ever. Within the Union, RAG is more integrated than ever, running dedicated workshops to support volunteering and pushing fundraising to all societies with the support of all 7 sabbs and every zone coordinator. This year we ran a 24 hour cycle for the first time in aid of Movember, involving 22 societies, 11 of which had never participated in a RAG event, raising £1057, a huge amount for a brand new event. Movember in total raised £7,185.84 up from £2,747 last year, and that was all down to the amount of societies, companies and students that got involved. We had 23 societies involved in our naked calendar, many of which had never participated before. After they're involvement in these events, many societies went on to do their own fundraising with the support of myself and RAG. Our January total stood at £40,159.45, compared with £28,784.23 at the same time last year. The increase in fundraising this year is all down to the increase in engagement we have worked towards. As for our volunteers, we had standing room only at our first meeting, have created sub-teams to run every event during our Big Give, and have introduced volunteer-led events as a result of the amount of dedicated, passionate volunteers we're fortunate enough to have. During my presidency I have worked tirelessly to increase engagement across the board, and I think the huge increase in totals and society involvement in events demonstrates this. As a result of the above, I really feel like I am in the best position to improve engagement within SUSU. I have the skills and experience necessary to do so, and my success with RAG gives me the best position to begin.
Do you think recognition of each zone in the Union is important? If so, how do you propose to increase awareness and participation, for increased transparency?
Definitely! I think collaboration across all of the zones is incredibly important, and particularly for fundraising, I think every single zone can get involved. This is something I've been working out during my presidency, contacting societies across all the zones to encourage either involvement in RAG events or fundraising of their own. For example, DTUS, Cymru Soc, Marine Conservation and LoPSOC have all been involved this year, encouraging engagement across each zone. By having each of the 7 sabbs working together to promote projects I think we help to increase awareness and participation. I think one of the best ways to increase transparency is for sabbs to be held account for the work they are doing. Although this is a focus for VP DCI, I understand the frustrations students have when they feel sabbs are not being held to account. On a personal level, I am a senator and was stopped from asking questions at the first senate meeting due to time restraints. It is absolutely vital that we are as transparent as possible, and I think this is important across the board. I would ensure all sabbs utilised social media as much as possible to showcase the work they are doing and show students the day to day tasks they carry out (just as many sabbs have started this year). I would definitely work with VP DCI to ensure a strong, consistent social media presence for the Union and it's elected members to highlight the work being done and how students can get involved.

DAU Comparison Among Facebook, Twitter, Snap And Weibo
Social media companies. Flickr Image.
The daily active users or DAUs is one of the most used and important metrics for social media companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Snap, and Weibo.
The purpose of the DAU metric is to measure users' engagement and activities on social media platforms.
As most social media companies depend on advertising revenue, the higher the DAU figure, the more revenue they will make.
For this reason, most investors will follow closely the DAU figures of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Snap, and Weibo.
A decline in the DAU figure on a consistent basis will almost always spell disaster for these companies and hence, the stock prices.
Therefore, in this article, we are going to examine and compare the DAU metrics of Facebook, Snap, Twitter and Weibo.
For your information, Pinterest does not specifically publish a DAU figure.
Instead, Pinterest publishes an MAU or monthly active user metric which is shown in this article: Pinterest's MAU comparison with that of Facebook and Weibo.
That said, only Facebook, Twitter, Snap and Weibo publish a DAU figure during their earnings calls.
So, let's start with the topics below.
Social Media Companies DAUs Topics
1. Wordwide or Global DAU
2. Snap, Twitter And Weibo's DAU
3. North America DAU
4. Europe DAU
5. Asia Pacific DAU
6. International DAU
Wordwide or Global DAU
Worldwide or global DAU
* DAU figures are plotted on a bi-annual basis to reduce the amount of data and the effort required.
* Facebook's worldwide DAU does not include users on Instagram, WhatsApp or other products.
* Snapchat went public only in March 2017 and hence, the DAU dated back to only fiscal 2016.
* All companies's fiscal year begins on Jan 1 and ends on Dec 31.
The worldwide or global DAU includes users from all geographical locations.
From the first look at the chart, it is very clear that Facebook has been dominating the social media space all these years given the exceptional DAU figure that the company has been having.
As of 2022 Q2, Facebook has nearly 2.0 billion daily active users on its platforms on a global basis, a year-over-year increase of 3%.
While Facebook has been the leading social media company, its worldwide DAU is still on the rise given that it already has captured nearly 2 billion users, about one-third of the world's total population.
On the other hand, Snapchat ranks second in terms of worldwide DAU after Facebook.
At only 347 million global daily active users reported in fiscal 2Q 2022, Snapchat's DAUs are still way behind that of Facebook.
However, Snapchat's DAUs are slightly better than Twitter's Monetizable DAU (mDAU) which clocked at 238 million in fiscal 2Q 2022.
Weibo's DAU came in at 252 million in fiscal 1Q 2022, slightly higher than that of Twitter but still falling behind Snap.
Among all the social media companies, Snapchat and Twitter's DAU grew the fastest, notably at 15% and 16% respectively on average since fiscal 2017.
On the other hand, Facebook's DAU grew only 9% on average since fiscal 2017, the lowest among Twitter, Snap and Weibo.

Snap, Twitter And Weibo's Worldwide Or Global DAU
Twitter, Snap And Weibo's DAU
* Snap, Twitter and Weibo's fiscal year begins on Jan 1 and ends on Dec 31.
The previous chart may not clearly show the global or worldwide DAU figures for Snap, Twitter and Weibo.
Therefore, I have created another chart that explicitly shows Snapchat, Twitter and Weibo's global or worldwide DAU.
As shown in the chart above, Snapchat's DAU leads both Twitter and Weibo's DAU.
As of fiscal 2022 Q2, Snapchat's global DAU reached 347 million users while both Twitter and Weibo's worldwide DAU came in at only 238 million and 252 million respectively.
Among the 3 social media companies, Snapchat grew the fastest, notably at 18% in fiscal Q2 2022 on a year-over-year basis.
On the other hand, Twitter's mDAU or monetizable DAU grew 15.5% year-over-year in fiscal Q2 2022, slightly behind that of Snap.
Weibo's worldwide or global DAU grew 11% in fiscal 4Q 2021, the lowest among the 3 companies.

North America DAU
* Facebook's North America DAUs does not include users on Instagram, WhatsApp or other products.
* Snap's North America also includes Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America.
* Snap went public only in March 2017 and hence, the DAUs dated back to only fiscal 2016.
* Weibo does not break down its DAU figures by region.
Again, with nearly 200 million daily active users, Facebook is the king of social media in North America.
Snap ranks second with about 100 million active users from North America who hopped on its platforms on a daily basis in fiscal 2022 2Q.
Twitter has about 42 million monetizable active daily users from North America in the same fiscal quarter.
Of all social media companies, Facebook was the only one that experienced a flat user growth in the North American region while both Snapchat and Twitter reported positive year-over-year growth.
In this context, SnapChat's North America DAU grew in low single-digit at 4% year-over-year in fiscal Q2 2022 while Twitter's North America DAU grew 13.5% during the same period.
In fiscal Q2 2022, Twitter added as many as 5 million users to its U.S. social media platforms while Snap added 4 million users in the North American region from the perspective of the DAU.
Facebook's slowing DAU growth rate in North America is most likely due to the maturity of the company and the vast user base that the company has garnered from this region.
For perspective, the North American region has a population of around 600 million, and Facebook's daily active users from this region alone constitute about one-third of the region's total population.

Europe DAU
* Facebook's Europe DAUs does not include users on Instagram, WhatsApp or other products.
* Both Facebook and Snap's Europe includes Russia, and Turkey.
* Both Twitter and Weibo do not break down their DAU figures in Europe.
In terms of daily active users in Europe, Facebook has garnered even more users from this region than in North America.
With more than 300 million daily active users, Facebook is once again the leading social media platform in Europe.
This is followed by Snap which has a DAU figure of 86 million reported in fiscal 2Q 2022.
Twitter and Weibo do not break down their Europe DAU figures.
Instead, Twitter lumps the data together with users categorized under the international region.
While Snap's daily active users in Europe are significantly lower than that of Facebook, it is growing at significantly higher growth rates than Facebook.
For example, Facebook's daily active user growth in Europe was the lowest as of fiscal 2Q 2022, notably at -1% or -4 million active users compared to Snap's year-on-year growth rate of 10% or 8 million active users growth reported in the same quarter.
In short, Facebook's Europe DAU growth has been slowing down over the years and the growth rate was negative in fiscal 2022.
For your information, Facebook has existed for more than a decade and the 300 million DAUs constitute roughly half of the population in Europe.
Therefore, that should explain the slowing growth of Facebook's DAUs in Europe as the company has long existed in this region before Snapchat came along.

Asia Pacific DAU
* Facebook's Asia Pacific DAUs does not include users on Instagram, WhatsApp or other products.
* Facebook's fiscal year begins on Jan 1 and ends on Dec 31.
Snap, Twitter and Weibo do not break down their DAUs figures for the Asia Pacific region.
Instead, Snap and Twitter lumped the data under the International region.
Therefore, I am assuming that the Asia Pacific DAUs for Twitter, Weibo and Snap may not be substantially significant.
That said, Facebook's DAUs in the Asia Pacific are even more impressive and the company reported a DAU figure of 836 million in fiscal 2Q 2022, up 6% from a year ago.
While Facebook's DAU growth in other regions may have slowed down, it's not the case in the Asia Pacific.
On average, Facebook's DAUs growth rate in the Asia Pacific hovers at 16% between fiscal 2016 and 2022.
Despite having an average growth rate of 16% in the last 6 years, Facebook's Asia Pacific DAU also experience a significant slowdown as of 2022.
At only 6% of daily active user growth in Q6 2022, this figure was the lowest since fiscal 2016 and was way below the average.
For perspective, Facebook's latest DAU figure of 836 million represents less than 20% of the total population of 4.5 billion in the Asia Pacific region.
This percentage was way less than that of North America and Europe.
As such, Facebook still has much headroom for growth in terms of DAU in the Asia Pacific in the future.

International DAU
* All companies' International DAUs come from users outside of North America.
* All companies' fiscal year begins on Jan 1 and ends on Dec 31.
Internationally, Facebook is again the leading social media company with daily active users topping 1.8 billion in fiscal 2Q 2022.
On the other hand, Snap and Twitter's international DAUs came to about 248 million and 196 million, respectively, in the same fiscal quarter.
Facebook's international DAU is 7X higher than that of Snap and about 9X higher than that of Twitter.
Most social media companies recorded double-digit growth rates for international DAU, with Snap Inc reporting the best result at 25% YoY growth in fiscal Q2 2022.
On the other hand, Twitter's international DAU was up 16% in fiscal Q2 2022 from a year ago while Facebook's international growth rate came in at only 3% in the latest quarter, the lowest among the 3 companies.
In short, Facebook, Snap Inc and Twitter are still seeing exceptional user growth outside of U.S. and Canada and the respective growth rates are far higher than that reported in North America and Europe.
Read Can Twitter Pay A Cash Dividend In FY2022?
Based on the daily active users metric, Facebook is the king of social media, having DAU figures that are way above other social media companies such as Twitter, Snap and Weibo.
For example, on a global basis, Facebook's DAU is 7X higher than that of Snap and 9X higher than that of Twitter based on the 2Q 2022 result.
In North America and Europe, Facebook's DAU is also multiple times higher than Snap and Twitter.
Weibo's global or worldwide DAU was slightly higher than that of Twitter but was way less than that of Snapchat in 2Q 2022.
While Facebook is the leading social media platform of all regions in the world, its DAU growth rates are slowing down, particularly in North America and Europe.
For example, Facebook's DAU growth in North America averaged only 2% since fiscal 2016.
Similarly, Facebook's DAU growth in Europe averaged only 3% since fiscal 2016.
In contrast, other social media companies such as Twitter, Snap and Weibo's DAUs are growing at a much higher rate than Facebook in North America and Europe, notably with at least a 10% growth rate.
While Facebook's DAU may have hit a plateau in terms of growth in North America and Europe, it's not the case in the Asia Pacific.
Facebook's Asia Pacific and International DAUs still grow healthily at a YoY growth rate that averages around 16% and 11% respectively since 2016.

Starbucks has always surprised us with new drinks that either play around with flavors Filipino coffee drinkers already know and love, or experiment with tastes so unique that we won't ever know we'll like until we try them out.
A new addition to the Starbucks core beverages, the Flat White delivers bold and creamy flavors in one cup. It's made with two ristretto shots complemented with a smooth layer of steamed whole milk and is guaranteed to replace your usual caffe latte or cappuccino orders in the morning.
This new item in the cold brew lineup is a product of the maximization of a coffee cherry, right down to its husk, or cascara in Spanish. The Cascara Cold Foam Cold Brew gives you a strong kick from the cold brewed coffee with a subtle sweetness from the smooth layer of cold foam, which is made with low-fat milk, Cascara syrup, brown sugar, and maple flavors.
For those with a sweet tooth, the Caramel Cinnamon Cookie Latte is worth a try. It has a Caramelly sweet sauce and fragrant cinnamon with a hint of spice — perfect for the Autumn mood. The drink is topped with whipped cream and lightly-spiced cookie crumble.
Even Starbucks Reserve is adding new drinks to their menu, and one of it is the Hazelnut Bianco. It's a simple premium espresso beverage that tastes very much like Ferrero chocolate — sweet and nutty!
The second new Starbucks Reserve drink is the Americano Con Crema that's a little bit more complex than the Hazelnut Bianco in terms of intensity and flavor. It's espresso shots mixed with Orange Piloncillo syrup and topped with a cinnamon-y Coffee Spice foam and Demerara sugar. A great mix of bold and sweet.
You'll really taste the fall flavors with Starbucks Reserve's new soup offerings: the Apple Pumpkin Soup, a hearty pumpkin soup blended with sweet apples, and the Mushroom Soup, made with fresh button and shiitake mushrooms.
You'll also love the newest pastries that you can get in all Starbucks Reserve coffee shops, including the Lemon Meringue Tart, the Cookies & Cream muffin, Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate barks, and the Bombolone — a sweet pastry dough filled with luscious chocolate cream.
Lastly, pair your coffees with these new French pastries: the Palmier which is a French cookie made with puff pastry dough and sprinkled with granulated sugar, and the Kouign Amann, which is a sweet rich pastry with caramelized sugar on the outer crust.
Which of these are you most excited to try? Sound off below!
i love the Cascara cold foam cold brew. the subtle sweetness blends well with the boldness of the cold brew.


When German Magazine Fur Sie (For Her if your high school German is failing you!) contacted us to appear in their magazine we were of course delighted. We have so many customers in Germany who have totally fallen in love with tartan, be it for the quality of our fabrics or to create a fabulous outfit or interiors story. Some have family links with Scotland but most just love the colours and design. This is quite liberating in a way as you can mix and match your tartans....although maybe not quite to the extent of the Bay City Rollers rather unique style! Mixing your tweeds which Paul Smith has done here to fabulous effect is also good fun and a way of creating sophisticated style or a country casual look depending on the colours you choose and the way you wear them. We have been working with our local tweed mill to create some more girlie colours so watch this space for some great new colours for Autumn.


The Professional Referee Organization supports the swift action of Major League Soccer after PRO referee Armando Villarreal was struck with a plastic cup during the Atlanta United match against Minnesota United on Tuesday, October 3.
The spectator, who was identified and removed from the stadium, has been charged with assault. In addition, MLS has banned the individual from attending future League matches.
PRO condemns the actions of any fan who endangers the wellbeing of a match official, and we commend MLS for ensuring a safe matchday work environment for PRO referees across all venues in MLS.


This is a snippet of my article that first appeared here on my column on the Examiner.com.
Last night I came home with leftovers from my media dinner at Vivo Italian Kitchen. The generous wife that I am, I sent my husband a message that he could have my shrimp and lobster meal if he wanted. I regret it. I can't help but daydream about that dish.
If you're in the Arundel Mills area, whether for gambling, business, or shopping, take a detour to the Arundel Hotel. On the SouthEast corner, bottom floor, sits Vivo Italian Kitchen.
Listen, this isn't your local Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill.
If that's what you want, drive two minutes down the road and you can find it. What you'll get at owner George Korten's restaurant, is a mid-range eatery, not too upscale, not sweat pants-casual but comfortable. Comfortable like what you'd wear at a nontraditional non-denomination church that promotes "come as you are" (within reason).
Cheeses like the taleggio, provolone and gorgonzola are rich and matched well with my glass of wine – a nice blend of Syrah, Ganache, and Merlot. My entree, the lobster and shrimp bucatini that I gifted to my husband, was rich and deliciously dense. Although I ordered an individual serving, having had the appetizers, wine, and bread, it was enough for two.
The bucatini was weighty and substantial – the perfect soaking agent for a decadent cream sauce. Don't expect five pieces of lobster and shrimp – the portion was generous.
Vivo Italian's open kitchen setting adds to the restaurant's lively atmosphere.
Take a peak inside and you'll see the brick-oven stove fired up to make its' next crispy crust pizza. The fresh mozzarella on our margherita complemented the other ingredients well. Thankfully, not salty and the perfect elasticity.
Check out this slide show of dishes.
All of Vivo's house-made pastas, except for the gnocchi which is handmade, are crafted on an imported, super-charged machine. Their paper thin prosciutto slides gracefully down the razor sharp blades of the resident slicing machine. And the industrial mixer stands authoritatively on the floor, waiting to whip up its' next batch of batter for moist pastry items like the olive oil cake.
Hopefully the area will continue to embrace Vivo Italian. Long live good Italian food!

An introduction to the history of Milton, MA.
Milton In The Young United States
Posted on January 22, 2014 by amymorganlink
After the Revolutionary War, Massachusetts was no longer an English colony; it was part of the United States. The people of Milton were citizens in a new democracy!! In 1789, the Constitution of the United States became the law of the land, and George Washington became the first president of the new country.
Most people in Milton would not have had a chance to meet the new president, who lived all the way down in Virginia. But Washington's vice president was a different story. That was John Adams, and he lived practically next door in Quincy!
I bet Milton residents were proud to have a neighbor serve in the very first administration of our new government.
But there were famous people even closer to Milton than Adams.
One of Milton's Revolutionary War heroes was Joseph Vose. The name Vose is familiar to you, I'm sure. (Remember Daniel Vose , of the Suffolk Resolves House?) Joseph Vose was a distant cousin of Daniel. During the Revolutionary War, the British Army had fortified lighthouses with guns to control Boston Harbor. Joseph Vose of Milton led a party of 60 men in boats to a harbor lighthouse. He burned the lighthouse and took away the the British guns. Our hero!!
An 18th century view of Boston Harbor
Joseph Vose was made Colonel of the First Massachusetts Regiment and joined George Washington's army. He took part in the siege of Yorktown, which ended in the English surrender and the end of the war! He returned home to his lovely hometown, Milton, MA, and lived there until he died in 1816. The home that he built and lived in is still standing — on Voses Lane (named after him, of course).
Left: A pic of Joseph Vose's home from 1900
Right: Recent photo of Joseph Vose's home at 34 Voses Lane
Our little Milton continued to grow. New homes were built in the colonial style but were a little larger than before. Houses were built with larger windows, spacious hallways and more detail. Some people even chose to build their homes so that they looked a little like houses from Greece and Rome.
Can you guess why?
Because they believed our country, like the great societies of ancient Greece and Rome, was destined for great things.
See the Greek columns on this house? Doesn't that look grand? It used to sit on Blue Hills Parkway between Eliot Street and Brook Road.
Wealthy Boston merchants also discovered that seacoast villages like Milton were wonderfully cool places to spend the summer. People began building summer cottages here so they would have a place to escape to during the hot summer months.
For a long time, Boston had been trading with England for tea and with South America for cocoa beans. Now, sea captains like Robert Bennet Forbes sailed even as far as China, on the other side of the world.

Robert Bennet Forbes
Robert Forbes and his mother were on a ship that was captured by the British in 1811, when Robert (or Ben, as he was called) was 7 years old. When he was 13, he went to sea as a deck hand on a boat bound for China. When he was 18, he met one of the richest merchants in China, Hoqua, with whom he began a long-lasting friendship.

Robert Forbes, along with other traders from Philadelphia, Newport and Salem, developed a thriving trade with China.
In 1833, Forbes built a home for his mother on Milton Hill. The house was built as a memorial to his brother, Thomas, who was drowned in a typhoon off the China Coast in 1829.
We will learn a lot about Robert Bennet Forbes and his family during your 5th grade Milton History Tour!! You can visit the Forbes Museum website here.
The Forbes Museum folks have been kind enough to supply the Milton schools with a copy of "Cabin Boy", which is a story of Robert Bennet Forbes very first trip to China.
Ask your teacher or Mrs. Henry, your amazing school librarian!! They have been set aside specifically for the 5th grade classes!!
At this time, in Milton and the rest of New England, an increasing numbers of folks had everything they really needed for survival. They were beginning to want things just for the enjoyment of owning them. What kinds of things do you think came from China?
Beautiful silk robes
Fine porcelain
Tortoiseshells for combs
They even brought back bird's nests and sharks' fins, reputed to make very delicate soups. But this is what we say to such a soup today…….
Americans developed an interest in Chinese art. You might see wallpapered dining rooms with images of monkeys and peacocks …..
and plates wriggling with (yikes!)
What did the Chinese accept as in exchange for all of these goods??
Furs and ginseng!! Ginseng is a little man-shaped root that grew wild all over New England. It was treasured in China as a strengthening medicine.
In the early years of the young democracy, many of Milton's businesses had something to do with the trading of goods that came into the wharf, and shipbuilding was booming!
Between 1786 and 1815, the Milton shipyards built 33 boats:
16 Ships
6 Brigantines
3 Schooners
8 Sloops
Ship traffic down at the wharf was so busy that in 1833, according to Daniel Vose's records, 74 sloops and schooners dropped anchor in Milton and discharged their cargoes. That's more than a ship a week!
Crackers on ice, anyone?
In 1801, the Bent cracker factory began to bake what they called "ship's biscuits." Made only of flour and pure spring water, they would last for many months down inside of a ship without spoiling. The term "cracker" came from the sound they made when they were in the oven.
Another important item that was loaded on the ships a little later was ice. Ice is very common here in New England winters, but ships leaving Milton wharf back then were going to parts of the world that had never seen ice. Some crafty New Englanders had figured out that if they packed ice in sawdust and put it in a wooden box, it would stay frozen for months. Strange, huh?
Before long, crates full of ice were being shipped out of Milton bound for warmer climates — as far away as India!
As Milton entered the 20th century, it was still very much like the quiet residential community it had been a hundred years before.
Friends having a picnic at the summit of Great Blue Hill
There were fewer than 5,000 people living in Milton in the early 1900's. Horses were still an important part of the economy. They assisted in the cutting of ice on the ponds in winter,
they drew heavy sledges through streets to pack down the snow, they pulled plows in the fields in summer and drew watering carts through the streets to lay the dust. A governess (a girl or woman employed to care for a child) may take their young friend out for some fresh air in a cart pulled by a horse or a donkey?
Young children out for a ride with their governess on Bradlee Road in Milton.
The coming of cars did a lot to change Milton. The first cars looked very much like carriages, only they didn't use horses. They even called them "horseless carriages."
An early "horseless carriage"
Gradually, cars took the place of carriages, but it wasn't until 1914, when Henry Ford used the assembly line to turn out the Model T, that owning and driving one's own car became a reality for most people. With the coming of cars, Milton built many new roads. During this time, there was a greater choice of transportation. Trolleys went almost everywhere in New England. With trains, cars, and trolleys, some of the older forms of transportation began to fade. This would forever change our "little" country town.
You will be reading all about the Granite Railway in your classroom history binder! There is a piece of the Granite Railway history waiting to be discovered by a 5th grade history detective.
Milk for sale!
In the late 1800's, the Manning family settled on Thacher Street in Milton and began selling milk from their horse drawn wagon. By the 1920's, the wagon was now a milk truck and the family milkman was born!
Up until 1963, Milton's Thatcher Farm had 250 cows, and all of the milking, processing and delivering happened from their Thatcher farm location.
Today, Thatcher Farm is alive and well! Now the farm fresh milk arrives in glass bottles from a family farm in New Hampshire but the dairy and home office remains right here where it always was, in Milton!
Have you ever paid a visit?
or maybe they've paid you a visit?
