If anything, at least you (pi)not there’s a difference.Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio is actually a pink/grey skinned mutation of Pinot Noir. All wine is fine).Īfter this crash course, hopefully you’ve learned a thing or two. How embarrassing it would be to have a guest ask for a Pinot Gris, only to mistakenly hand them a Grigio! (A true friend won’t care. And though a layman may not be familiar with the differences, we think that it’s useful for everyone to know that the two grapes are pretty distinct. The contrasts between Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio can be a bit overwhelming. Still a gorgeous grape, but a bit surprising and slightly more complex. She’s friendly, approachable and gets along with most. If these Pinots were sibs, Grigio would be the fresh, welcoming sister. Pinot Gris is decadent when served with gamey meats like veal or rabbit, or with poultry dishes like chicken stew or turkey casserole. Their robustness makes them the ideal white to drink alongside heavier dishes, including those that are instinctively paired with red wines. Oppositely, Pinot Gris grapes have the ability to age very well, and they manifest richer flavors the longer they’re cellared. They’re very easy to drink and their crisp, fresh flavors make them perfect for pairing with food (especially lighter fish dishes that are often overpowered by other wines). Pinot Grigio wines are best consumed when young. Meanwhile, French Pinot Gris commonly has a fuller body and flavors that are richer, spicier and more complex. Grigios normally have notes of citrus and saline, along with bright fruit and floral flavors. Italian Pinot Grigios are known for being lighter in body and possessing more mineral undertones. Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are known for having different taste profiles, even though they are made from identical grapes. The differing lexicon of these two varietals does not simply indicate a difference in origin, but also their discrepancies in flavor. A grape by any other name would not taste as sweet. Though the Alsace styles of these varietals are a bit drier than an Alsace Pinot Gris, all wines from the region are known for being aromatic and flavorful. Being so close to Germany, Alsace is also popular for producing wines like Riesling and Gewurztraminer. ![]() Alsace is located along the Rhine river, in close proximity to Germany. Alsace is one of the few regions in the world that still produces the sweet style of Pinot Gris wines. Pinot Gris is popularly grown in the Alsace region of France. The mountains in these regions are responsible for the recognizable acidity in these wines. ![]() These regions maintain a cooler climate, which allows for Pinot Grigio to develop its distinct dry mineral flavors. A tale of two wines.Īrguably the best Pinot Grigio can be found in the Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, and Lombardy regions of Italy. You can find these varietals all over the world however, oftentimes the Pinot Grigio style is more common. France and Italy are not the only countries that produce Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio. Not far away, the Italian version of this gray grape is called Pinot Grigio. ![]() Pinot Gris (French) originated in Burgundy and is now commonly grown in the Alsace region of France. This grape is named for its color, gris and grigio, which both translate to “gray” in their respective languages. The grape has a skin that is white, sometimes with a grayish, brownish, or pink hue. Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio come from the same grape. Similar but not the same, two wines from one grape with a changing name.

![]() “We wanted to go out there and instill our will defensively. “It was very important for us to go out there and try and defend well,” Caldwell-Pope told The Athletic. They simply made life difficult for the Timberwolves’ ballhandlers on almost every possession. They are intense competitors, as the rookie Braun proved by getting into it in the second half with Minnesota forward Kyle Anderson. They are big, strong and athletic defensive wings who can switch through the lineup and exist offensively around Jokić with their ability to make shots. Those guys are the guys NBA teams look for. And when Anthony Edwards tried to get into the lane off the dribble, that lane was often closed.ĭenver’s defense on the whole certainly constituted a team effort, but the Nuggets are different because their perimeter defense is different, and it’s world’s better than it has been in previous playoff runs.īruce Brown. When Minnesota forward Karl-Anthony Towns found himself in the paint, Denver was able to collapse help, rotate back to the perimeter and force missed shots. When the Timberwolves tried to run pick-and-roll, the Nuggets blew it up by fighting over screens and contesting the action. The Nuggets were able to thwart whatever Minnesota tried to do offensively. Privately, he gave his defensive player of the game award to his entire team. ![]() Publicly, Malone understated how good his guys were defensively. ![]() On a wild Sunday of playoff action, tucked into the nightcap of a quartet of games, Denver answered questions on exactly what’s different from previous postseason runs: Where are the Nuggets a better team? Where can Denver make itself unique? Michael Malone said he gave the defensive player of the game award to the entire team We have a lot of things that we can do to get better. It’s important that we don’t let this win linger. That’s the kind of effort we are going to need through the series. “Guys were locked in through the entire game. ![]() “It was a stellar defensive performance through four quarters,” Denver head coach Michael Malone said. They were the one game of the day that went without intrigue. They gave the East Coast viewers the chance to turn off the game early to get some sleep. The Nuggets made things boring Sunday night. But, on a Sunday night when road teams won three of the four NBA playoff games, the one that wasn’t happened to be the one where the Nuggets asserted themselves early and often. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying after the buzzer on Wednesday evening.Despite its status as the top team, according to record, in the Western Conference, Denver has been questioned for much of the season. Curry added five rebounds and four assists.Īfter Curry and Thompson missed game-tying shots in a loss to the Nuggets, the NBA community on Twitter chimed in with different reactions. Curry lead the Warriors with 23 points on 6-of-17 shooting from the field with six made triples. With a loss to the Nuggets, the Warriors’ road trip ended 2-2. Klay Thompson had the chance for a late long-distance shot to tie the game as well, but the ball appeared to slip out of his hands before he could hoist up one last heave. Despite getting a good look at game-tying shot, Steph Curry’s layup didn’t fall, sealing the thrilling contest in the defending champion Nuggets’ favor. With two game-winners already under their belt, the Warriors had the chance to tie the game with time running down against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday evening.Īfter a back and forth heavyweight fight to close their road trip, the Warriors found themselves down two following a pair of missed free throws from Nikola Jokic. For the third time in the Golden State Warriors’ early stretch of season, o ne of their games came down to the final seconds. There are two types of accessing the FTP server: The configuration file for vsftpd FTP server is /etc/nfĪctually, the FTP server in Linux is one of the easiest servers that you can work with. Once you’ve installed the package, you can run the service and enable it to run at boot time. On Debian based distros like Ubuntu, you can install it like this: $ sudo apt-get install vsftpd Some Linux distros shipped with vsftpd, anyway, if you want to install it on Red Hat based systems, you can use the following command: Can jail users into their home directories.Can run as a normal user with privilege separation.Vsftpd has some security features which makes it on the top like: There are several FTP servers available for you to use, commercial and open source. ![]() In passive mode, the control and data connections started by the FTP client. ![]() That’s why the FTP is a connection-hungry protocol because every time you make a data connection (like transfer a file), the server will do the above process, and this is done with all clients connected to the server. The server will open a random port and give this port number to the client. If the FTP client requests a file, it will issue the PASV FTP command. In passive mode, the client starts the control connection from a random port to the destination port 21 on the remote server. If you are using the iptables firewall, I recommend you review the Linux iptables firewall to know how to allow specific ports. When you need to transfer a file, the remote FTP server will open port 20 to connect to the FTP client.Īctive mode connections usually have problems with firewalls, TCP ports 20 and 21 should be open on your firewall.īecause of these problems with firewalls of active mode, we can use the passive mode. You can check your ephemeral port range using this command: $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range The client connects from a random ephemeral source port to the FTP control port 21. When the FTP client starts a transfer, there is an option on your FTP client that controls whether you want to use active or passive FTP connection. Passive connections initiated by the client to the remote server, and the server waits for requests. When you transfer a file, the data connection starts.Īctive connections are initiated by the remote server, and the client waits for server requests. When you establish an FTP connection, the TCP port 21 opens to send your login credentials this connection is called control connection. Control connection also called a command connection.There are two types of FTP connections you can initiate: To send or receive files from an FTP server, you can use FTP commands these commands are executed consecutively. ![]() FTP server works with the client-server architecture to communicate and transfer files.įTP is a stateful protocol, which means connections between clients and servers stay open during an FTP session. ![]() SwiftBar also lets you activate and deactivate plugins from within its preferences window, rather than using the filesystem, which I appreciate. (It worked with all the plug-ins for BitBar that I’d built.) And there are some nice additional features under development, including support for Apple’s SFSymbols icon library. SwiftBar is written in Swift-it’s in the name!-and aims to compatible with any BitBar plugins. Now Playing, indoor and outdoor air quality, and temperature status. It’s a drag to see a utility you rely on fade away, but I’m happy to report that there’s a spiritual successor to BitBar, SwiftBar, in active development led by Alex Mazanov. Unfortunately, it came to my attention a few months ago that Ryer had largely moved on from BitBar development, just as Big Sur arrived and caused a bunch of cosmetic issues. In the past, I’ve used Mat Ryer’s BitBar to put all sorts of information in my menu bar, including the current temperature, air quality, and even live listeners to podcast streams. That’s because there’s already a great place to display information, and it’s visible at all times: the menu bar. They’re supported on macOS Big Sur, too, but I don’t bother with widgets there. One of my favorite features of iOS 14 is its support for home-screen widgets. SwiftBar lets you disable plugins without dragging files around. Note: This story has not been updated since 2020. This means, that each and other similar propertyWrappers and attributes work independently.SwiftBar steps up to provide ambient data in the menu bar Note, that each Scene has its state management machine (if I can name it like this).
Obviously the software used is known and understood however if you are new to motion simulators there is a fairly high level of education. Purchase a DofReality rig and you are paying a lot less than the competition, and it’s not just a seat mover. At first, I thought the DofReality Rig was just wrong and I had wasted my money, but now, yeah I’m glad I spent the cash. Now I’m dialing the motion in, I’m really happy with the rig. I’ve got the rig to work with Assetto Corsa, Automobilista, iRacing, Dirt Rally and RFactor 2. So, I’ve been using the rig for about two weeks now. DofReality provided links to all the software needed including all the plugins for chosen sims. The SimTools, were simple and easy to understand once you actually got your head round what was happening. Installing software provided by DofReality went without a hitch and actually getting the rig to move was really straightforward. The P3 rig has more powerful motors with integrated step down gearboxes For a similar price for the SimXperience traction loss frame we could have a 3 DOF rig giving pitch & roll and the traction loss we were looking for.Īfter getting the green light from she who must be obeyed, and a number of questions to DofReality who responded to our questions very quickly, my friend and I ordered 2 of the DofReality P3 rigs. That’s when we came across the DofReality website. We hit on the idea of having traction loss which would give us a little more feedback and improve our experience, and was initially looking at buying the SimXperience traction loss frame and mounting the Obutto onto that frame somehow. Iv’e been sim racing for a couple of years now and running a mixture of equipment, ECCI 7000 FFB, SimFai Solutions custom wheel, HPP PRX-SE pedals and a couple of Thrustmaster TH8A shifters, all mounted onto a Obutto R3volution rig and projecting onto a screen.Īll was well in my sim racing universe until one afternoon when a friend and I was searching the net for ways to make our sim racing experience a little more immersive. Let me give you my take on the DofReality P3 rig I purchased. With the great support (Igor to name him), Most interesting thing after all, when I have DOF turned off,Įven with the FFB wheel, it feels like dead -) The software setup with the provided presets is just easy. I think, it is more like in real car, where you are forced to/from the wheel, too. The wheel is an OSW with small Mige, which is installed on a seperate frame. One week for the delivery itself, pretty fast. The whole process took only four weeks from building to the delivery to me in Germany. It is affordable and after reading further, it sounded good to me and I contacted DOF Reality. I have been interested for a long time in such a system, butĪ DIY build was due to lack of time, tools and knowledge not an option for me.Īfter some days of intensive researches, I came across this product and got interested. Keep in mind, you’re getting a rig for about half the price of its nearest competitor (in the US anyway) and it works with Simtools out of the box.īut does it work? I’m happy to say YES – it works very well even with my 195lbs/88kg and 80lbs/36kg of gear. Judging by the various pics above and on the web, it appears DOF Reality is refining the build so your version may be slightly different. The kit came pre-drilled with plenty of mounting points but still needed to drill new holes to accommodate every thing specific to my needs. ![]() For what it’s worth, I could tell DOF Reality had fully assembled the rig before tearing down and shipping out. ![]() All of the bolts and nuts are in labeled packages. DOF Reality includes the only tools you need – 1 crescent wrench and 3 hex wrenches. I had the complete kit built in less than 2 hours (minus controller, seat, and bass shaker mounting). I’ve built a lot of DIY and scratch built items but wow – this kit exceeded my expectations in terms of ease! If you can assemble IKEA furniture, you can assemble this kit. I sent payment and had 2 large boxes arrive less than 10 days later. I was preparing to build version 2 when I came across DOF Reality’s very economical kit. I still made some mistakes and ended up with a heavy but under-powered rig with a little too much play in the levers. ![]() For anyone considering this, buy it!! I built my own motion simulator 2 years ago with a ton of help from the awesome users. ![]() “Equipping our teachers with curriculum that sets a high bar for NGSS achievement is integral to our regions’ transitions to the Next Generation Science Standards.”ĭeveloped in partnership with UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science, the Amplify Science curriculum puts students in the roles of scientists and engineers every day, engaging them in understanding and explaining compelling real-world phenomena. “KIPP is incredibly excited to pilot Amplify’s NGSS benchmark assessments through Illuminate Education and utilize data to help us provide the best possible science education for our KIPP students,” said Hilah Barbot, Science, Technology & Engineering Achievement Director at KIPP Foundation. ![]() Once an Amplify test is completed, educators and students can view results alongside other key assessments and data to provide a more complete academic portrait.

I cannot think how I could have a relaxed vacation there. I essentially have to endure and fight against racial discrimination abroad all the time never expected that I would be subjected to one in my own country. I didn't even question the reasoning and had to leave the premises. I don't know if this type of discrimination is legal, but it is certainly unethical. I was told that they charge extra fee for Turkish residents. I had not been contacted by anyone for any explanation before I went to the hotel. So, it was not an issue of the recent value loss of the Turkish currency over dollar. The payment had already been paid through. I was asked extra price (twice the listed price) at the reception. There is free WIFI with low signal, but you can buy premium WIFI for extra cost, but don't know if it is better 'couse we haven't bought it. Two times in a week there will be small entertainment for maybe 30min. After that you can jut sit next to it outside. The pool is small with not enough loungers and is open only 'till 18 o'clock. We heard that others had to pay extra to get the standart room that they had on reservation. The receptionist started to yell that we didn't asked for late checkout (when on the cotract is written that we have late flight) so why we are complaning and etc.Įveryone from the personal whants to get extra payment for anything you are asking for. No one informed us that the check out is until 12 o'clock even when we should have the late check out. The last day our flight was very late and they blocked our room card so we couldn't use the room and had to sit at reception lounge for 6 hours. We thought that we have to stay without the room for the first night becouse they couldn't find the documents of reservation and didn't accept the one we had on telephone. The reception personal is rude, don't whant to even make good impression or try to help you. The location doesn't look very safe as well. And still you have to pay extra for beach lounger every time. One good thing about it is that the hotel beach is very close. Avoid at all costs as somebody commented before. This whole hotel is a SCAM!!!!!!!! I wouldn't recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. Later he wanted to give us one room(for 9 of us) for 30 euros Not to mention when we arrived there was a "technical issue" we had to wait 6 hours in the lobby before we got our room (at 6.30 am in the morning) after an 8 hours of travel. Different receptionist told us that he can give one room and its 10 euros/person. He said fine we can stay in our rooms for 50 euros, just come back on our last day morning. 2 days before our last day we notified the receptionist about it. We wanted late check out on the last day (9 ppl, 3 rooms). ![]() Extremly rude, unhelpful manager(told us to fk off). We spent 8 days there and we only had 2 cleanings. Ants on the floor, disgusting toilet, small TV, small pool. ![]() One of the worst hotel we have ever stayed in! The pictures on booking are from upgraded rooms they dont obviously post pictures of the non upgraded, dirty rooms. We chose this place due to best in the area reviews at and 4 stars.ĭo not repeat our terrible mistake - NEVER stay in this hotel. Smell everywhere is terrible, all the facilities in hotel area were absolutely abandoned. Air conditioning did not work, windows looked like never cleaned. By the end of 2 weeks stay the room was full of sand. Rooms were old, smelly without any proper cleaning - they just made bad with same sheets and add toilet paper. Quality of the food at breakfast couldn't be lower! When we tried to argue, personnel started screaming at us and calling names and saying they would claim us to the police! Unbearable! Ridiculous! During dinners we were offered drinks and always chose water or Cola and at the end of the stay we were charged for 40€, we had never received info about the extra price for water. Dinners are awful, several times the food was rotten and stank!! when we pointed it out, we were told it was because of mushrooms in it. This is a very poor hotel, it must have 1 star not 4. ![]() Once there, you can access your “Prime Video Settings”.

(And whether she and Evan Rachel Wood are in fact secretly related.) Best Sketch of The Night: “Leave Me Alurn” Brosnahan’s role as the existential potential intern is oddly compelling though, to the point you actually want to know what’s under Barbie’s jacuzzi. (It’s no Gemma, after all.) That is until now, because even though the premise is simple, the execution is pretty funny. The Barbie sketch was funny in its first incarnation, but nothing screamed “recurring sketch” about it. Brosnahan’s Maisel’s attempt at “My Fair Lady”-ing Miss Rita after she seems to have created a monster is great, especially as it continues to fail tremendously (but help Rita succeed), as is Aidy Bryant as Alex Borstein (because of course she is). This sketch knows that, and pretty much, that’s all anyone needs here. Maisel” sketch was coming - unless Brosnahan, for some reason, wanted to pull a Liev Schreiber and not parody her show - and thus “The Raunchiest Miss Rita” was born. This sketch is a good early indicator of that fact. Maisel - as evidenced by Cecily Strong’s previous impression of Brosnahan, which is just Midge Maisel - isn’t what she’s all about. She’s not without humor, but the bigness one would expect from the marvelous Mrs. Throughout this episode, as excited as Brosnahan clearly is to be hosting “SNL,” she truly excels in this episode when she plays things dry and to the point. The point is still that millennials will tweet about their safe spaces and storm off in the face of conflict, which: 1) is your regular reminder that people still don’t know how old millennials are, and 2) is your other reminder that millennials are maligned for not putting up with Baby Boomers’ verbal garbage. But the runner of Kenan Thompson confirming his character is a Gen X-er who just wants to “watch the world burn” saves that. “Millennial Millions” is a sketch that could be a mess, especially with every jab at millennials, despite simultaneously, legitimately showing how millennials aren’t just being crybabies. Also impressive is the small bit when Kate McKinnon’s news anchor Carol just keeps chiming in with her “inappropriate earthquake joke.” (The sketch is pretty much the sequel to the “Invest Twins” sketch from this season’s Liev Schreiber episode.) Pete Davidson’s role as the firefighter who’s way too amused by all of these names is one of the better uses of Pete Davidson in a sketch where he’s just going to laugh anyway, and Brosnahan’s resolve while saying these ridiculous names is impressive. This is a very juvenile sketch, but that is the point, and it never pretends there is any point other than that. “Earthquake News Report” is definitely one sketch to kick off the new year, new “SNL” festivities. Is this the “SNL” equivalent of restraint? Despite “SNL’s” love of impressions, this is not one of those episodes that goes all over that, so there’s not even a blip of a “Westworld” sketch or Wood impression in this episode. To the point where the Barbie sketch version of Brosnahan just looks like a bit the show can now no longer use for when Evan Rachel Wood hosts. Which is ridiculous, because the longer the episode goes on, the more pronounced it becomes. ![]() ‘A Still Small Voice’ Review: A Powerful Documentary About the Price Chaplains Pay to Help People Die in PeaceĪlso, this opening monologue quickly notes Brosnahan’s extremely striking resemblance to Evan Rachel Wood - who should definitely host “SNL” soon, especially after her phenomenal performance in the season premiere of “Drunk History” - but for some reason, the rest of the episode doesn’t dwell on it. “Having Fun in 2019” isn’t quite a bop, but it does allow for some decent bits, like Cecily finding the killer, which is something everyone should be on alert for, Cecily not having an agent (which would explain… a lot), the entire American confusion over Brexit (also apparent in that Matt Damon episode), Kyle’s singing skills (or lack there of), and of course, ya lil’ baby Aidy. But then it did something pretty funny: It was actually pretty funny. ![]() Given that scary time when the singing opening monologue became the ultimate crutch for this show, at first this monologue devolving right into that did not bode at that well. Maisel” leading actress Rachel Brosnahan.īut she’s a Golden Globe and Emmy award winner, you know. (Which is the best kind of correct.)Īnd while “SNL” ended 2018 with a (surprisingly only) two-time guest host who seemed like an old pro at the whole thing (Matt Damon), 2019 begins with a first-time guest host and one with a much less recognizable name - “The Marvelous Mrs. It’s like the new saying goes: New year, new “SNL.” Well, to be fair, it’s also kind of the same “SNL” - especially when considering what “the same ‘SNL’” means these days, on a larger front - but it is the first episode of 2019, which make it technically correct. |
