![]() ![]() It's chock-full of Citra, Equinox, and Centennial hops, as well as some natural flavors and a pinch brewer's yeast to biotransform-ate the hops to just the right flavor. An IPA-inspired refreshment that's zero-alcohol, zero-carbohydrate, and zero-calorie, made using everything we know about hops. If you’re looking for NA beers to have on hand, or drink regularly, these are worthy contenders.Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher is a fresh take on an old tradition. The bottom line: Both of these are pretty good and drinkable, viable NA alternatives that manage to mostly avoid any of the off-putting flavors and aromas that can make non-alcoholic beers a challenge. Overall: Pretty good overall, and it drinks well. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied, crisp and surprisingly dry. But it has a decent grain character, the hops are pretty light and well-handled for the style, and it could be fresher (I’m assuming, if it’s oxidized a bit). Surprisingly there’s not really much “wort” character as I’d expected from the aroma, but there is a light touch of cardboard (oxidation). Taste: Crisp and dry-crackery with grain dust and a dried grass or hay bitterness that’s fairly balanced for what’s here (or not here). Some hop stems, earthiness, but it’s fairly light. Smell: Green hops with that lightly under-attenuated wort-like character that’s typical of many non-alcoholic brews. A uniquely-full body and crazy-big hoppy aroma lends to IPNA’s satisfaction.Īppearance: Light amber color, similar to brown bottle glass, clear, with white fizzy head that didn’t last long. Massively dry-hopped and delicious … like a clean, zesty bunch of hops smackin’ you in the face! Yes, in a good way.ĭank-ish pine-y grippiness from the massive dry-hop of our favorite Yakima Valley hops-Citra, Mosaic & CTZ (Columbus, Tomahawk & Zeus for the acronym-averse)-on a bed of English crystal malts for a smooth backbone & beautiful orange hue. ![]() A brewer-led labor of love utilizing all of our hops chops and over a year of R&D. Here’s what the company says about IPNA on the website: Now, I can’t say for sure that Lagunitas produces IPNA this way-I do get a bit of unfermented wort character in the aroma, as you’ll see in my notes below-but I suspect it does. Crux Fermentation Project does the same thing with its NØ MØ brews the result is “real” beer (no arrested fermentation or similar methods to halt alcohol production), and it’s diluted as necessary to bring it below the 0.5% ABV threshold. Lagunitas’ IPNA fits the standard model for NA beer, with less that 0.5% alcohol by volume (to be legally considered “non-alcoholic”), and with the stats provided on the website-28.32 IBUs, and it has a starting gravity of 1.023-it sounds like the brewery’s method of production is to brew a low-gravity, low-alcohol beer as its starting point. There’s a light acidity that comes with the sparkling (carbonated) water. ![]() Not harshly hoppy or overly bitter at all. (Light bong water.) Otherwise, it’s a spritzy light mineral water, ephemeral. The flavor is light with a bright bit of citrus (“natural flavors”) that’s a touch dank and earthy. It has an oddly candy or juice-like aroma that’s reminiscent of an orange-cherry lollipop, with a faint undercurrent of herbal bitterness. My (freeform) notes:Ĭlear sparkling water with a slight yellow-green tint. I have to admit, I was skeptical, and expected just kind of dirty-flavored water, not expecting the hops to offer much but some harsh bitterness. We added a pinch of brewer’s yeast to biotransformate the hops and pull out terpenes (AKA aroma compounds) of bubblegum, lime, lemon, tangerine, and a bit of pine. Hoppy Refresher is a zippy and zingy highly carbonated dry-hopped sparkling water. Chock-full of Citra, Equinox, and Centennial hops, for a big splash of flavor that’s surprisingly fruity. This sparkling beverage is made using everything Lagunitas knows about hops. And it’s literally just that-a zero-calorie, zero-carb, zero-alcohol sparkling water flavored with hops.Ĭrisp, zingy, and hoppily refreshing. I’ve been calling this “Hop Water” based on the label, but the “Hoppy Refresher” is its official name-“Sparkling Hop Water” is the secondary name/tagline. In that spirit I’d received samples of Lagunitas Brewing Company’s two non-alcoholic beverages, a sparkling hop water and a standard NA IPA, to sample and review. Dry January is past, so cutting out alcohol may not be top of mind right now (though I’ve also seen the subsequent months recently called Fit February and Moderation March in the same spirit), but that shouldn’t stop you from moderating your alcohol intake if you so choose. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() So although we don’t stream games to our TV or to tablets, we did give it a quick look. In addition, this reviewer is not a couch gamer who prefers a keyboard and a mouse on the desktop, and even feels uncomfortable using a controller except for VR games. There are far too many new features that AMD has released with this Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition to cover in detail, so we will give BTR’s readers just a quick overview. And there is even an option to install the driver only for a minimalist approach. You can install all of the features and experience everything the all-in-one gaming control panel offers or just a minimal install. One of the best new features of the new software installer is the ability to customize it. Paired with the AMD Bug Report Tool, Radeon Software can provide a more complete picture of user-submitted issues for quicker resolution by AMD support teams.ĪMD Adrenalin Software edition 21.4.1 New Features Source: AMD AMD Crash Defender 4 – A new stability feature to ensure systems “stay alive,” preserve data and fully recover from potential hangs or crashes in select scenarios.Microsoft® PlayReady AV1 Support 4,5 – Support for the open-source, royalty-free PlayReady AV1 hardware-accelerated decode for AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics cards ensures high-quality, protected content.Color Deficiency Correction 4 – Customizable settings allow users with the three major color vision deficiency conditions – protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia – to experience games in more vivid detail without any expected performance impact.Enhanced Recording and Streaming – Integrating all recording and streaming settings under a single tab, the new AMD Radeon Software release offers scene editor usability enhancements, improved sorting and tagging functionality, and a new wizard 4 to make it easier for entry-level users to begin streaming.Expanded Performance Metrics & Tuning – Users can now view both Radeon graphics and Ryzen™ processor performance metrics from a single location, including CPU utilization, clock speed, temperature, voltage, power consumption, and fan speed, enabling them to better optimize system performance and power efficiency.Additional updates include an improved search bar, the availability of additional gameplay stats on the games tab and more. ![]() Gamers can elect to do a full installation or a minimal installation with a streamlined user interface, or a small-footprint, driver-only installation. Simplified User Interface – Based on community feedback, the latest software release provides several customizable installation options.AMD Link also offers 144 FPS (max) 2, higher bandwidth streaming options, support for 5.1 surround sound audio, and reduced streaming latency of up to 60 percent in CS:GO. The new AMD Link Game feature allows users to invite a friend to connect to their PC from another AMD Radeon system to play games that support local multiplayer or split screen mode. AMD Link – A free application to connect a gaming PC with a tablet, phone or TV – and now another Windows-based PC – lets users turn any screen into a gaming powerhouse from virtually anywhere.From AMD’s website we see that it expands on earlier editions, especially on Software Adrenalin from the 2020 edition. The AMD Adrenalin Software edition 21.4.1 is AMD’s special annual update which introduces important new features that we will cover, so let’s look at what it brings new for Radeon owners as we have had a little time to spend with it. Instead, we have sent a RX 6700 XT to our fellow editor, Rodrigo Gonzalez, so that he will perform regular driver performance analyses as they are released to inform and benefit Radeon users. We have already noted that AMD has increased performance of the RX 6900 XT via drivers since January so we will not focus on performance. AMD now also allows for a minimal or a “driver only” installation also. We will look at the new features and functionality of this newly redesigned software interface that puts an emphasis on capture, streaming, and sharing from any device with a high-speed Internet connection.

What kind of symbiotic relationships are found in the rainforest? Orangutan and spider monkey survive by eating leaves, fruits, nuts, seeds, and insects. For example, the gorilla and lar gibbon eat leaves, fruit, and bark. Example interspecific competition: all apes except for omnivorous apes compete for food in the ecosystem. It is competition among individuals of different species. How is interspecific competition in the tropical rainforest? Biological interdependency takes many forms in the forest, from species relying on other species for pollination and seed dispersal to predator-prey relationships to symbiotic relationships. Interdependence-whereby all species are to some extent be dependent on one another- is a key characteristic of the rainforest ecosystem. How is interdependence a feature of the rainforest? In this relationship, the jaguar usually benefits because it gets food, and the sloth is usually harmed because, well, that particular sloth does not exist anymore! Which is an example of predation in the tropical rainforest?Īn example of predation in the tropical rainforest is between a jaguar and a sloth. They move through the canopy at a rate of about 40 yards per day, munching on leaves, twigs and buds. Sloths-the sluggish tree-dwellers of Central and South America-spend their lives in the tropical rain forests. Capybaras, deer, tortoises, iguanas, armadillos, fish, birds and monkeys are just some of the prey that jaguars eat. Jaguars are opportunistic hunters and can prey upon almost anything they come across. In the mines, mercury is used to separate the gold that is mixed in soil and sediments, forming a fusion called an amalgam. Gold mining has rapidly increased across the wider Amazon region in recent years, especially along the Guiana Shield, where it is responsible for as much as 90% of total deforestation. It eats turtles, fish, birds, and some land-dwelling animals. The Black Caiman is the largest predator in the Amazon ecosystem. What are the biggest predators in the rainforest? The top predators in the Amazon rainforest are the Harpy eagle, the anaconda and the jaguar. What’s the top predator in the rainforest? They defend themselves with their sharp claws and teeth. Big forest cats like jaguars and ocelots, birds of prey such as harpy eagles, and large snakes like anacondas prey upon sloths. Sloths are the only mammals whose hair grows in the opposite direction from the hair of other mammals. Together, the two different species form a predator-prey relationship. In predation, a member of one species (the predator) feeds directly on all or part of a living organism (the prey) as part of a food web. What is a predator/prey relationship in the rainforest? The rainforest food chain includes levels like the primary and secondary consumers, such as monkeys, ocelots and birds of prey, as well as the apex predators atop the chain, such as the jaguars, crocodiles and green anacondas. Once it sees potential preyit woops down and grabs the animal with its massive talons. The harpy eagle hunts by watching for prey at a high perch. Relationships in the Amazon Rainforest One example of a predator prey relationship in the Amazon rainforest would be the relationship between the harpy eagle and the macaw.

The lyric "I think it's time to kill for our women" expresses the need to protect and value women, rather than perpetuating violence against them. The second verse addresses the mistreatment of women in general, questioning why men harm and neglect those who create and nurture life. The chorus, "Keep-keep ya head up, ooh, child, things'll get brighter," serves as a reminder to stay optimistic despite difficult circumstances. The first verse acknowledges the discrimination faced by black women, specifically those on welfare, and implores them to persevere in the face of adversity. The song opens with a shoutout to two children, Elijah and Corin, setting the tone for the message of hope and encouragement that follows. Keep your head up, because the redemption of the world is drawing near."Keep Ya Head Up" by Tupac Shakur is a powerful anthem that uplifts women and addresses the struggles they face in society. Keep claiming your own dignity and worth. ![]() Keep striving for justice, for mercy, for righteousness. For neither of them are these words meant to be platitudes, but rather, they speak to a deep truth that even when all hope seems lost, even when you’re fed up, the only real option is to keep your head up. As Jesus looks upon a world that seems hellbent on its own destruction, where power and might are the only things that seem to actually mean anything or hold any value, it seems just as odd that he too might tell the oppressed and the downtrodden to, in the words of Tupac Shakur, “keep ya head up.” Yet, that’s exactly what Jesus does. Having come out of a world that seemed like the future was absolutely hopeless, Tupac Shakur chose to write a song about keeping your head up. Women, especially as featured in this song, were often left to raise children all on their own, either because the father was dead, could’t afford a baby, or had moved on to… less fertile pastures. The men often took to the hustle to make enough money to eat and pay the rent. The deck was still stacked against young African-Americans born into the poverty. ![]() Much later in life, and now on the other side of the continent, Tupac wrote “Keep ya head up” in a situation in which not whole lot had changed. Fed up with racial profiling and police violence, the Black Panther Party, of which Tupac’s parents were both active members, was, at times, at war with the powers-that-be. The world of East Harlem in the 1970s, the world in which Tupac was raised, was not that far removed from the vision that Jesus offers for the end times.
