Authentic "sparkling cider" is a naturally carbonated beverage made from unfiltered apple cider. "Sparkling apple juice", often confused with it and sometimes even labeled as "sparkling cider", as does the popular Martinelli's brand, is filtered, pasteurized, and mechanically carbonated and thus not true cider.

Related acronyms [edit]

Many variations are used only to illustrate a point or make a joke, and have very limited real use. Some that have been proposed include the following:

WISIWIT, what I see is what I type, also used to describe text-oriented editing systems in the opposite sense of WYSIWYG.
WYCIWYG, what you cache is what you get. "wyciwyg://" turns up occasionally in the address bar of Gecko-based Web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox when the browser is retrieving cached information. Unauthorized access to wyciwyg:// documents was fixed by Mozilla in Firefox version 2.0.0.5.[22]
WYGIWYG; what you get is what you get, often used in a similar way to WYSIAYG, WYSIMOLWYG, or WYSINWYW.[23]
WYGIWYS, what you get is what you see, used in computing to describe an interaction paradigm in results-oriented user interface. The term was used by Jakob Nielsen to describe Microsoft Office 2007's "Ribbon" interface[24]
WYSIAWYG; what you see is almost what you get, similar to WYSIMOLWYG.[4]
WYSIAYG, what you see is all you get, used to point out that advanced users are sometimes limited by the user interface.[25]
WYSIMOLWYG, what you see is more or less what you get, recognizing that most WYSIWYG implementations are imperfect.[4]
WYSINWYW, what you see is not what you want, suggesting that Microsoft Word often controls the user, not the other way around[26]
WYSIPWYG, what you see is probably what you get, relates to html and markup editors where code and macro tags sort of show what the result will eventually be. This type of WYSIWYG view is hard to render while editing so the user can only guess at the outcome.
WYSIWYD, what you see is what you deserve refers to the ability of the user and their effort to create something worthwhile.
WYSIWYM, what you see is what you mean, saying that the user sees what best conveys the message and the structure of it—rather than its actual formatting.
WYGIWYM, what you get is what you mean, saying that the user gets (visually, aurally or by any other means) what best conveys the message.
WYSIWYN, what you see is what you need relates to Software, which is not composed through the interconnection of modules, but work with such a detailed user and rights management, that users can see only what they really need.
WYSIWYS, what you see is what you sign, an important requirement for digital signature software. It means that the software has to be able to show the user the content without any hidden content before the user signs it.
WYSIWYW, what you see is what you want, used to describe GNU TeXmacs editing platform.[27] The abbreviation clarifies that unlike in WYSIWYG editors, the user is able to customize WYSIWYW platforms to partly act as manual typesetting programs such as TeX or troff.
WYSYHYG, what you see you hope you get (/ˈwɪzihɪɡ/), a term ridiculing text mode word processing software; used in the Microsoft Windows video collection, a video distributed around 1991 on two VHS cassettes at promotional events.
YAFIYGI, you asked for it you got it, used to describe a text-command oriented document editing system that does not include WYSIWYG, in reference to the fact that users of such systems often ask for something they did not really want. It is considered to be the opposite of WYSIWYG.[28] The phrase was first used in this context in 1983 in the essay Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal to describe the TECO text editor system, and began to be abbreviated circa 1993.[29][30][31]

china and korea are constantly trying to outdo each other over who has the oldest, and therefore best civilisation. there's a korean conspiracy theory about how korea owned half the world, conveniently before written records existed, based on some random place names around the world sounding a bit like the made up names in a book of fairy tales. meanwhile china claims the Han chinese evolved from an older species of human

Both Necropolis (4) and Rave (5) are criticized for straying from the series' rules.[citation needed]
Most notable of these changes is that Trioxin (spelled Tryoxin in these particular films) zombies are no longer the indestructible juggernauts of the first movie, but instead much weaker than even "Romero zombies." Several times throughout the movie they are seen to be dispatched with no more than a few body shots, sometimes as few as two hits will end their undead life. Prior to this film nothing short of incineration or electrocution with extreme high voltage would terminate a Tryoxin zombie.
However, this may be a different form of Trioxin; here, it is referred to as "Tryoxin-5,", in lieu of "2-4-5 Trioxin" which may explain why the zombies are weaker.

"Tara Reade" redirects here. For the actress, see Tara Reid.

In March 2020, Tara Reade alleged that Joe Biden, former U.S. vice president and Democratic nominee in the 2020 presidential election, sexually assaulted her in 1993, in a Capitol Hill office building when she was a staff assistant in his Senate office. Biden categorically denies all of Reade's allegations.

Reade is an American domestic-violence advocate and lawyer. She states that she suffered emotional and violent physical abuse from both her father and her ex-husband, which in turn motivated her to work on behalf of victims.[1] Reade worked for Biden as a Congressional aide in 1992 and 1993, and subsequently attended university (without receiving an undergraduate degree) and the Seattle University School of Law (from which she earned a Juris Doctor).

Reade has misrepresented herself and her life experiences on numerous occasions, including lying under oath and in court proceedings. Specifically, she has lied about holding a bachelor's degree from Antioch University, invented a secret "fast-track" bachelor's program (at Antioch) from which she supposedly earned her degree,[2] and falsely stated that she served as a visiting professor at Antioch. She misrepresented her educational background in her law school applications, allowing her to attend law school without the required bachelor's degree. In addition, Reade is currently under criminal investigation by prosecutors in Monterey County, California, for lying under oath about her educational credentials, in her appearances as an expert witness on domestic abuse.[3][4]

Prior to accusing him of sexual assault in 2020, Reade made various other comments that cast her encounters with Biden in a different light. Reade says that in 1993, she filed a complaint against Biden with a Senate human resources office in which she alleged that Biden had made Reade feel uncomfortable through comments she deemed demeaning, allegedly including a compliment about her looks and a request for Reade to serve drinks at a Senate event. However, Reade said that in her complaint she did not specifically accuse Biden of any kind of sexual misconduct and made no mention of the alleged assault.[5] A few years before she accused Biden of sexual assault, Reade repeatedly praised Biden on her personal Twitter account, retweeting or otherwise endorsing comments which characterized Biden as a leader in combating sexual violence.[6]

In the course of the 2020 presidential campaign, other women said that Biden has touched or greeted them in a way they considered inappropriate, such as hugs, shoulder rubs, and kisses on the cheek that made them feel uncomfortable; Biden has not disputed these allegations, and has stated that he will be more "mindful of people's personal space" in the future.[7] However, apart from Reade, none of the women who came forward accused Biden of sexual assault or harassment, and instead characterized his form of touching as a matter of poor judgment, tone-deafness, and a lack of professionalism on Biden's part.[8]
