Becker et al (1988) investigated the origin of a 'peasy' off-flavor note present in Central African coffees, defective green beans impairing considerably the flavor of the final roasted product.

Once again, this^([sic – meaning this is]) a case where being a Berean would clear up a lot of confusion. I once heard another WOF teacher, Andrew Wommack, teaching the same thing, and then going on to say that Isaac was conceived because Abraham's faith-filled words spoke him into existence. You will have an impossible task supporting this with scripture, yet most WOF teachers repeat this falsehood as if it were common knowledge.

pos: adj
examples: The evangelical Church of America is not rationalistic. It is becoming more Berean, not accepting the dicta of theologians, but searching the Scriptures.
Crowds of men all over the land are flocking into adult Bible classes. This is a sign of nobility. This is the Berean way.
Lately however, this disturbance in my spirit has been enough of a concern to awaken a more Berean attitude.
By helping a congregation grow in their understanding of the ways in which the arguments and theology of the New Testament are dependent upon an understanding of the Old Testament, a pastor or preacher may both demonstrate a personal love and passion for the Old Testament as the Bible of the authors of the New Testament and develop such a love and passion in the church that it becomes more “Berean” and less likely to fall into Marcionite ways of thinking.

This segment of sales promotion - premiums and incentives — also includes use of contests such as Benson & Hedges' 100 Sweepstakes, as well as factory pack-ins.
Not all promotions simply reward trade channels with free goods, extra discounts off invoice, extra pack-ins, and so forth.
Software pack-ins include Virgin's The Daedalus Encounter, Tsunami's Silent Steel, Activision's Muppet Treasure Island and Spycraft, Origin's Wing Commander IV, and Xiphius' Encyclopedia Electronica.
By 1994, gamers had come to expect that each new system would include one or more games in the package. "Pack-ins" enabled buyers to immediately enjoy a game specifically coded to deliver an experience that only their newly acquired hardware could deliver.

As an aesthetic, it is influenced by 1990s web design and digital art, anime, and cyberpunk.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: Largely ignored by the mainstream press, vaporwave has instead flourished on websites such as Bandcamp and SoundCloud and on Reddit […] Because vaporwave exists almost entirely outside the sphere of PR and the music industry at large, it has tremendous “underground” appeal. […] Vaporwave is critical of Western culture's preoccupation with the past, but it is not the only art form to call our collective regression into question.
Vaporwave arose in reaction to huge economic and social forces that are still very much a part of our lives: globalization, runaway consumerism, and manufactured nostalgia chief among them.
Recess’s website features the charms of vaporwave internet art and Lisa Frank-style nostalgia, while their Instagram account evokes the combined look of “Endless Summer” with “Floridian retiree” and the summer-camp psychedelia that has replaced “Lifestyle Lumberjack” as the default millennial style choice.
