Descubre y disfruta de estas bebidas tan únicas como un eclipse solar

A estas alturas seguramente ya sabes todo lo que debes saber sobre el fenómeno astronómico del año que será seen en Norteamérica (Canadá, Estados Unidos y México), el próximo lunes 8 de abril. Se han preparado todo tipo de festividades para celebrar y observar el evento cósmico, pero lo que quizá no sabías es que algunas destilerías se han subido a bordo y liberarando una serie de bebidas inspiradas en el eclipse photo voltaic. 

La conexión entre el alcohol y un eclipse puede ser un poco nebulosa, pero para eso están los departamentos de advertising and marketing.

Bebidas inspiradas en el eclipse

Entre las bebidas inspiradas en el eclipse se encuentra el lanzamiento de Blackland Distillery, proveniente de Fort Price, Texas. Se trata de un destilado producido a partir de granos de trigo de medianoche de Nueva Zelanda y el maíz blanco de Texas, que se supone que representan la luna bloqueando el sol. 

Las notas de degustación de este whisky describen un carácter de espresso oscuro y chocolate gracias a ese trigo de medianoche, un grano que a menudo se usa para hacer cerveza fuerte y porter. 

Otra de las bebidas inspiradas en el eclipse photo voltaic lleva por nombre, justamente, Whole Eclipse Kentucky Straight Bourbon, de la destilería Casey Jones, elaborado a partir de cuatro granos: 75 por ciento de maíz, 10 por ciento de trigo, 10 por ciento de centeno y 5 por ciento de cebada malteada. 

Se envejeció durante al menos dos años y se embotelló a 100 pruebas. Entonces, ¿cómo se conecta este whisky con la próxima ocurrencia cósmica? Bueno, tiene “eclipse whole” en el nombre… así que ahí está. 

La destilería también está relanzando su Whole Eclipse Moonshine, un whisky no envejecido que se presentó originalmente en 2017 para coincidir con el eclipse whole de ese año. 

Casey Jones también lanzará su Whole Eclipse Cask Energy Single Barrel, que fue destilado y barrilizado alrededor de la época de ese eclipse de 2017.

Por aquel año, también surgió Wyoming Whiskey Eclipse Version, un lote especial embotellado para celebrar el fenómeno photo voltaic del 21 de agosto de 2017 que pasara por América del Norte de costa a costa, incluido todo el estado de Wyoming. El destililante principal, Sam Mead, seleccionó los barriles para la mezcla en este lote, que se puede distinguir del embotellado estándar solo por la palabra “eclipse” y la fecha del 21 de agosto en la etiqueta trasera.

En Nueva York, Black Button Distilling está lanzando una nueva ginebra llamada Darkish Sky Gin para celebrar la primera vez en casi un siglo que esta destilería de Rochester ha estado en el camino de un eclipse. 

Es una ginebra púrpura con sabor a productos botánicos que incluyen enebro, raíz de angélica, bálsamo de limón, sunchoke y flor de guisante mariposa para darle colour. 

El ron también tiene un representante en esta lista de bebidas inspiradas en el eclipse, solo que se trata de uno seen en Barbados en 1910. Se trata de una expresión de Mount Homosexual que encarna el estilo, el cuerpo y el aroma de la marca. Con notas distintivas de vainilla y plátano, y otras subyacentes de caramelo, fruta de verano y especias.

Volviendo al whisky, Previous Trestle Destillery, de Truckee, California lanzó otra de las bebidas inspiradas en el eclipse pero en 2021. Se trata de una colaboración basada con 5050 Brewing.

Finalmente en México también se han lanzado bebidas inspiradas en el eclipse, para muestra este vino de El Cielo que lleva justamente ese nombre. Se trata de un líquido envejecido 12 meses en barrica francesa que presenta un hermoso colour rojo cereza con matices violáceos, mientras que en nariz tiene un agradable carácter frutal con notas de cereza y grosella y un ultimate especiado donde predomina la pimienta.

Intenta disfrutar una de estas bebidas inspiradas en el eclipse, si el tiempo lo permite, y no te sorprendas si se lanzan algunos más en las próximas semanas. Y recuerda no mirar directamente al sol sin usar un par de gafas aprobadas, sin importar cuántos cócteles hayas tomado.

Explaining why men’s, women’s college basketball play different formats

Whereas the NCAA has labored to shut the variations in males’s and ladies’s faculty basketball within the NCAA Match, there are nonetheless some disparities in relation to the foundations.

In ladies’s tournaments, they play with a smaller basketball, have extra host websites for the primary and second rounds of video games, and have completely different guidelines about getting the ball previous midcourt. However the largest distinction notable to followers is probably going the distinction in codecs of enjoying.

REQUIRED READING:Who’s within the Closing 4? Groups, odds for 2024 ladies’s March Insanity semifinals, championship

Males’s basketball performs two 20-minute halves with a number of media timeouts to get gamers to relaxation, whereas the ladies play 4 10-minute quarters. The quarter format is one thing basketball followers are probably extra used to, as most leagues, together with the NBA and WNBA, play the identical format. The completely different recreation format is a more moderen phenomenon in ladies’s basketball, with the rule change taking place inside the final decade.

With the Closing 4 of Iowa, UConn, NC State and South Carolina, here is what it’s essential to know in regards to the rule change, why it was made and the way it impacts the sport:

FOLLOW THE MADNESS: NCAA match brackets, scores, schedules, groups and extra.

When did ladies’s faculty basketball begin enjoying 4 quarters?

On June 8, 2015, the NCAA Enjoying Guidelines Oversight Panel accredited that ladies’s basketball will play 4 10-minute quarters beginning within the 2015-16 season. The NCAA Ladies’s Basketball Guidelines Committee initially really useful the rule change to reinforce the movement of the sport. The rule change was additionally endorsed by the Ladies’s Basketball Coaches Affiliation Board of Administrators. Every quarter is 10 minutes (equaling 40 minutes, the identical whole time as 20-minute halves in males’s) and halftime is quarter-hour.

A part of the explanation for the rule change was to maneuver away from the 1-and-1 free throws that are extra prevalent in males’s basketball after a group reaches seven group fouls. Within the four-quarter format, a group will attain the bonus and shoot two free throws on the fifth group foul. Crew fouls reset to zero in the beginning of every quarter.

It was thought on the time that the change could be an experiment that might finally make its solution to the boys’s recreation.

Alignment with skilled leagues

Another excuse for the change was for ladies’s faculty basketball to align with skilled leagues, such because the WNBA and FIBA, in enjoying 4 quarters as an alternative of two halves. The change makes for a extra seamless transition for gamers from the faculty recreation to the skilled ranks.

Why does males’s faculty basketball play two 20-minute halves?

Dr. James Naismith is credited with creating what we all know as basketball in December 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts. His concept of the sport was to have two fifteen-minute halves, with a 5 minute relaxation in between, which was included in his 13 guidelines for the game. Ultimately, time was added and every half turned 20 minutes.

In 1951, each faculty basketball and the NBA modified the format of their video games to 4 10-minute quarters. Whereas the NBA has since stored the format and made every quarter 12 minutes, the NCAA modified again to enjoying two halves of basketball as an alternative of quarters in 1954. The change was attributable to coaches fearful about stalling within the recreation with no shot clock. In 1955, Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp argued for 4 12-minute quarters, which the NBA continues to play as we speak.

Will males’s basketball change over to quarters?

Might the boys’s recreation additionally profit from enjoying 4 quarters, which can also be executed on the NBA and different skilled leagues? Perhaps. However why hasn’t it modified? Has it even been mentioned? In 2022, Jay Bilas argued in an ESPN article for the four-quarter format.

4 quarters as an alternative of two halves: Males’s faculty basketball is the one seen type of the sport on this planet that doesn’t have quarters. It isn’t a query of remaining distinctive. Quarters present extra clock performs and permit group fouls to be reset after the primary and third quarters. Transferring to quarters will cut back the variety of free throws on widespread fouls and can get rid of the one-and-one. A group will attain the bonus upon the fifth foul of 1 / 4, and two pictures will likely be awarded upon each widespread foul thereafter. Some argue that the one-and-one is important, however I differ. The argument is {that a} participant should ‘earn’ the second foul shot by making the primary. That second shot was earned … by getting fouled. Bear in mind, the foul restricted the offensive group’s means to get two or three factors on the possession. This rule change, for my part, is important.”

Ken Pomeroy has argued for the same. One main distinction within the format — apart from the fouls resetting between quarters — is there’s a media timeout on the first stoppage below 5 minutes every quarter for the ladies’s. The boys’s facet has 4 media timeouts a half, with every unfold 4 minutes aside.

The breaks between the primary and second quarters, in addition to the third and fourth quarters, additionally successfully function a media timeout. Potential advert income misplaced with fewer TV timeouts obtainable might be hurtful to the underside line for males’s basketball. Including in additional breaks in the course of the quarter format to make up for a possible loss may additionally harm the sport movement.
