Cuba Edition
Dia del Cafe Cubano leads today's complete edition for Cuba.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
The espuma, the sugar whipped into the first drops, the tiny cup that hits harder than any grande. Three cups minimum before noon or you are not Cuban, you are just visiting. Today, make a colada for the office and watch six people share four thimble-sized cups from a single styrofoam container.
You see the Nile crocodiles, African buffalo, and white rhinoceros that inhabit South Sudan's wetlands and savannas. You observe that cattle, goats, and camels are the animals most commonly kept by pastoral communities throughout South Sudan. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You know Cape Verde as a producer of excellent coffee, particularly from the island of Santiago, and for its distinctive local grogue (a sugarcane rum) that represents Cape Verdean hospitality and heritage. You appreciate that these products connect the island nation's African and Portuguese influences, offering tastes that reflect centuries of cultural exchange across the Atlantic.
