If a beverage could embody the fray of two worlds colliding, it would be the espresso tonic. Effervescent tonic water is mixed with bitter espresso shots to create a fizzy, highbrow drink that’s charmed Bay Area cafe-goers this summer.It’s a beverage pitched at black coffee lovers and cream-plus-sugar devotees alike, with enough room for variation – some are made with sweetener, some with tea and others with fruit – to keep things interesting. As the summer heat pushes on, the espresso tonic continues to gain traction on social media and at coffee houses in the East and South Bays, from Palo Alto’s Verve to Fremont’s Devout Coffee.The concoction is said to have originated in Sweden at Koppi Roaster in 2007. It gained fanfare in the United States soon after, including at San Francisco’s Saint Frank, where the “Kaffe Tonic” was featured by the New York Times in 2014. (You’ll find the drink at the Saint Frank in Menlo Park, too.)After sev...Pfizer 2Q numbers tumble and COVID-19 vaccine, treatment sales dry up

Crumbling COVID-19 vaccine and treatment sales chopped Pfizer’s second-quarter earnings, but both the drugmaker and Wall Street expect a rebound in the back half of 2023.Pfizer recorded no U.S. sales of its treatment, Paxlovid, in the recently completed quarter, as the company shifts to selling the pills on the commercial market after contracting with the government.Paxlovid brought in only $143 million total sales during the quarter after recording $8 billion in last year’s quarter.Sales of the vaccine Comirnaty also slid 83% to $1.49 billion in the quarter, as both products fell short of Wall Street expectations.Both Pfizer’s leaders and analysts who follow the company had expected a sales drop in the quarter as inventories already on the market were used up. But they also expect a rebound later this year, as commercial sales take hold, COVID-19 cases climb and fall vaccination pushes begin.Comirnaty, alone, has already generated well over $70 billion in sales for Pfizer since it ...New Jersey Lt.

La medida aplica a nacionales de El Salvador, Honduras, Colombia y Guatemala, según el DHS. “Esto requiere que una petición familiar haya sido presentada y que esa misma haya sido aprobada.

DENVER (KDVR) -- The average gas price in Denver has increased 17 cents since July 21, which tallies to approximately $3.91 per gallon, about 20 cents above the national average, according to a GasBuddy survey. While it's significantly less expensive than Denver's prices last July, which were over $4, the prices are almost 25 cents higher than June and almost 20 cents higher than the current national average, GasBuddy said in a press release."Gas prices suddenly soared over the last week due to heat-related refinery outages that impacted some of the largest refineries in the country, at a time when summer gasoline demand peaks and as gasoline inventories slid to their lowest July level since 2015," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a press release. All national parks will be free on this day While De Haan believes the rise in prices last week will start to lower, he believes that any new issues, like cuts in supply or hurricanes, could cause the gas...Colorado Day brings two new state license plates
