News of Luckin’s new baijiu-infused coffee beverage spread around the world like wildfire last week, and it did not take long until the inevitable happened; a driver caught over the influence claiming the drink was responsible. But it happened in our very own Nanjing.

Luckin Coffee launched its new drink on 4 September, through a cooperation with Kweichow Moutai in which the baijiu producer hopes to bring in a new, younger generation of drinkers.

And drivers, it would perhaps seem, as Nanjing Daily reported this morning, 14 September.

It was at approximately 23:00 on 8 September when Nanjing Traffic Police inspected a car registered to the city of Dongguan in Guangdong Province. That was at the Heye Shan Service Area on the G4221 Shanghai–Wuhan Expressway as it makes its way through Nanjing’s Lishui District.

The driver, surnamed Xu, was found to have a blood-alcohol content of 21mg/100ml, sufficient to reach the standard for driving under the influence.

Yet, Xu coloured the issue by saying he had been drinking Luckin’s new baijiu coffee and that it was responsible for his high blood-alcohol content.

Later however, Xu admitted that he had also drank two glasses of draft beer in Changshu of Suzhou City at around 14:00 that day. He explained that he had heard from his friends he would nevertheless be safe to drive in in 4 hours, so he waited until the evening to drive back.

In the end, Xu will face a fine of ¥1,000 for driving a non-commercial motor vehicle after drinking alcohol, his driver’s license will be deducted 12 points and he shall be suspended from driving for 6 months.

The Luckin latte’s alcohol content is in fact less than 0.5 percent. Our inebriated driver would have had to drink so much of the stuff to be over the driving limit that he would…

Cara’s sky-high spiky rainbow hair gives cockatooNeil Mockford / Ricky Vigil M – Getty Images

Where do we even begin with this look? Teal, lime, copper, fuchsia, red, black; there are at least six colours involved. Am I talking about a maximalist outfit? No. I’m talking about Cara Delevingne‘s hair on Thursday night.

Honestly, the more you look the more you see, and that’s a lot as you won’t be able to look away. Throwing out every rule book, this style has stripes, patches, and even leopard print on what is either a shaven or faux-shaven scalp.

There are grown-out curtain bangs, there are long mullet tendrils around the back hairline, but most striking of all are the Mohican-like spikes standing straight up in the air in a shade of lime green that makes it impossible not to compare her to a cockatoo. I’m here for it.

Just look at it from the back, this really is a spectacular spectacular. An honourable mention must also go to Adwoa Aboah’s braid loops, certainly less out there but also a visual statement.

The gals were part of the sea of A-listers at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London for Vogue World last night, celebrating British theatre and fashion, and our favourite photo of the night may just be this one of Cara with Emily Ratajkowski.

It’s very much giving a ‘when you and your friend don’t discuss what you’re wearing’ meme.

Local and state officials cut the ribbon on the Mohican Trail in Williamstown on Thursday morning.One of the new signs marks the trail head near the corner of Syndicate Road and North Street (U.S. Route 7).The Western New England Greenway gave Williamstown two signs to designate its new multimodal trail as part of a network advocates envision from Canada to Connecticut.

Berkshire Bike Path Council President Margie Cohen speaks at Thursday’s ceremony.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — At the ribbon cutting for the new Mohican Trail on Thursday morning, the president of the Berkshire Bike Path Council remembered a time when not everyone believed such paths could be built.

 

“Twenty-three years ago, a small chorus of people started singing ‘Bike path, bike path, bike path,’ and everybody thought we were nuts … including Mayor Barrett,” Margie Cohen said, nodding to now state Rep. John Barrett III, one of several state and local dignitaries on hand for the ceremony.

 

“Twenty-three years later, the Berkshire Bike Path Council has over 400 members singing, loudly, ‘Bike path, bike path, bike path.’ Included in that chorus is all of our state and local officials and so many partners. … All the voices are coming together to encourage a path from Vermont to Connecticut.”

 

The 2.4-mile leg of that larger project was completed earlier this year by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, which turned over ownership of the trail from Syndicate Road to the Spruces Park to the Town of Williamstown.

 

Thursday’s ceremony was an opportunity for MassDOT officials and local representatives, along with community activists like Cohen, to celebrate the trail and recognize those who made it happen.

STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. – The Healey-Driscoll administration awarded $31.5 million in climate resiliency funding Wednesday.

The state calls the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness grant program MVP for short. It provides support to Massachusetts communities to identify climate hazards and develop action plans.

What You Need To Know

• The Healey-Driscoll Administration awarded $31.5 million in climate resiliency funding on Wednesday through the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness program
• MVP Planning 2.0 awards $3 million in funding to 28 individual municipalities, one regional group and one tribe
• MVP Action Grant funding provides $28.5 million for 79 local implementation projects led by 56 different individual municipalities, 16 regional groups, two water districts and one tribe
• In addition to helping communities invest in addressing climate change impacts, the MVP Action Grant is also helping the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans reclaim their ancestral homeland

Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll made the announcement at the town offices of Stockbridge, noting the building is on the ancestral homeland of the Mohican people.

In addition to helping communities invest in addressing climate change impacts, the MVP Action Grant is also helping the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans reclaim 351 acres of their indigenous homelands after being forced to leave the state in the 1800s.

“Well, I know it’s the first time that the state has funded this sort of a collaborative effort,” Driscoll said. “Not only to ensure that these indigenous tribal lands are back in the hands of the of the tribe, but also the opportunity to make sure that we’re thinking about the resiliency and sustainability of that particular parcel moving forward. It’s a really moving day.”

“We feel very honored to be able to share in a lot of hard work done in Stockbridge to get to this point,” Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans president Shannon Holsey said. “We’re overwhelmed and we’re appreciative, but we always understood that it’s about collaboration, relationships. But at the forefront…

Massachusetts has awarded more than $31.5 million in grants to dozens of cities and towns and to two Native tribes to build climate resilience at the local level.

The funds are part of the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program, which provides planning grants to assess and mitigate potential climate hazards such as flooding and extreme heat—along with funds to implement these plans. It also helps cities and towns focus on populations that are most affected by the impacts of climate change.

Belchertown, Chesterfield, Chicopee, Deerfield, Goshen, Montague, Northampton and South Hadley, along with the Hassanamisco Nipmuc Band, received planning grants of $95,000 each.

More than a dozen other cities and towns, as well as the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans received “action” grants to implement plans. The Stockbridge-Munsee tribe will use the grant to purchase land that was part of their homelands.

Conway received $279,000 to address flooding. Leyden and Bernardston got $179,200 to assess and mitigate wildfires. West Springfield received $59,000 to create a tree nursery and to plant trees. Closer to Boston, Chelsea received a grant for $315,690 to mitigate heat in elementary schools.

Speaking at the Stockbridge Town Hall on Wednesday, Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll said the grants will protect against future challenges, such as the flooding of farm land.

“Frankly, communities know how to do this best. We’re putting dollars in local hands with locals who know how to solve challenges on the ground that they’re experiencing. The Stockbridge-Munsee Band knows how to do this. Our cities and towns know how to do this,” Driscoll said. “Local knowledge is key.”

The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians received $2,257,990 to purchase 351 acres of their homelands in Stockbridge. This is the largest parcel of their homelands that the tribe has re-acquired.

Driscoll said traditional ecological knowledge will help…
