404

Web visitors see 404 error pages when they try to reach a web page that doesn't exist. This usually happens when the web page has been deleted or the visitor mistyped the URL. Check out HubSpot's 404 page here.

Alt Text
"Alternative text," or "alt text." The text associated with an image. It's usually the file name of that image, but alt text can be customized using most content management systems (like HubSpot's). When an image isn't able to load in an email, website, or blog post, the alt text is displayed instead.

It's important for all the images on your website to have alt text because it's the only way search engines like Google can understand what an image is about, which helps you optimize your website for search. It also makes images accessible to the blind because screen readers can read aloud the alt text.

zero waste lifestyle

Zero Waste is a philosophy and a design principle for the 21st Century. It includes 'recycling' but goes beyond recycling by taking a 'whole system' approach to the vast flow of resources and waste through human society.

Zero Waste maximizes recycling, minimizes waste, reduces consumption and ensures that products are made to be reused, repaired or recycled back into nature or the marketplace.

World's Cheapest Energy Source Will Be Renewables Within Three Years

Renewable energy is simply becoming the cheapest option, fast... "We project that by 2020, renewables will be the cheapest form of new-power generation across the globe," with the exception of a few countries in Southeast Asia, the Morgan Stanley analysts said in a report published Thursday... Globally, the price of solar panels has fallen 50% between 2016 and 2017, they write. And in countries with favorable wind conditions, the costs associated with wind power "can be as low as one-half to one-third that of coal- or natural gas-fired power plants." Innovations in wind-turbine design are allowing for ever-longer wind blades; that boost in efficiency will also increase power output from the wind sector, according to Morgan Stanley.

Os diferentes tipos de cerveja

Lagers

As Lagers são as cervejas mais consumidas no Mundo. Originárias da Europa Central no século 14, são cervejas de baixa fermentação ou fermentação a frio (de 6 a 12ºC), com graduação alcoólica geralmente entre 4% e 5%. Tem entre seus tipos mais conhecidos a Pilsener, tipo de cerveja originariamente criada no século 19 na cidade de Pilsen, região da Boémia da República Checa, e que por isso muitas vezes é chamada de Pilsen ou Pils ao invés de Pilsener.
Os subtipos de Lager estão a seguir:

PALE LAGERS: Lagers claras, as mais comuns.

• Pils - a Pale Lager original. São caracterizadas por um lúpulo acentuado no aroma e sabor. Também chamadas de Pilsener e Pilsen (2). Podem aparecer em 2 estilos um pouco diferentes, principalmente devido à escola: Bohemian/Czech Pilsner (2B), representada pela Pilsener Urquell e Budweiser Budvar/Czechvar, ambas Checas e meio difíceis de encontrar; German Pilsner , facilmente encontradas nas representantes Bitburger, König Pilsener, Wernesgrüner ou Spaten Pils.


• American lager - cerveja leve e refrescante, feita para matar a sede e para serem bebidas bem geladas. É o tipo das cervejas mais populares dos Estados Unidos (1B), com exemplos como Budweiser, Coors e a australiana Foster's. A maioria das cervejas populares no Brasil, como Brahma, Skol, Kaiser e Antarctica, são American Lagers, mesmo que elas se intitulem no rótulo e descrição no verso como Pilsen, talvez até devido a convenção nacional para a classificação de cervejas.


• Lite- variação ainda mais leve que a American Lager, oferecida muitas vezes sob o nome Light ou Lite.


• Dortmunder Export - variação da Pilsener com menos lúpulo, mais suave, feita em Dortmund em 1873.


• Helles- outra variação com menos lúpulo, mais maltada, feita em Munique. Marcas conhecidas são Löwenbräu Original, Spaten Premium Lager, Weihenstephaner Original e Hofbräu München Original.


• Dry Beer - originária do Japão, tem a maior parte do açúcar convertido em álcool devido ao longo período de fermentação. Por isso e por seu sabor suave é denominada dry.


• Special- um tipo mais forte e encorpado, Fica entre a Helles e a Bock em termos de sabor e força.


• Radler- qualquer Pale Lager misturada com uma limonada típica alemã, chamada de Zitronenlimonade. Geralmente a proporção cerveja/sumo é de 50/50 ou 60/40.
