In terms of flavor innovations, in 2017, Wrigley debuted spicy spin called Sweet Heat Skittles.

When I write about iPad keyboards, the question I get most often is, “Why turn your iPad into a laptop instead of getting a laptop?” If you want my answer, check out the “Why not get a laptop?” section in my December 2018 story about the Brydge Pro keyboard.Īs you might expect, the two corner pieces on this case are shaped the way they are so that they don’t cover up the magnetic charging area for the Apple Pencil. (The Slim Folio Pro weighs 704 grams, almost identical to the Brydge Pro-but the Brydge is denser and slimmer. If you’re someone who prefers to leave the iPad in the case most of the time, this is fine, but the Slim Folio Pro is a thick, bulky case, and I have a hard time believing that anyone would want to keep it on their iPad when they weren’t actively using the keyboard. The result is a case that feels sturdy and protective, but it also means that every time you want to extract the iPad from the case, you’ve got to push those corner pieces off. In the case of the Slim Folio Pro, you tuck the non-Apple Pencil side of the iPad into a large rubberized bumper, and then push two small rubberized bumpers over the other corners. Unlike the approach of a company like Brydge, which builds aluminum keyboards into which you clip the iPad by its corners, Logitech’s cases generally cover all four corners of the device. Logitech’s iPad cases have always wrapped the device in protection. With the $130 Slim Folio Pro for the 2018 12.9-inch iPad Pro (the 11.5-inch model is $120), Logitech continues its commitment to making very good iPad keyboard cases-that just don’t seem to fit with the way I prefer to use my iPad Pro. Its case for the original 9.7-inch iPad Pro was close to perfect. Logitech has been making keyboard cases for the iPad Pro since the very beginning. Note: This story has not been updated for several years. Keyhole Canyon is a very short but beautiful slot canyon inside Zion National Park. So we changed our plans to go through Keyhole Canyon. We’d had permits for Pine Creek Canyon, but decided it was much too long to do on a day with this type of weather. The kind of rain that causes canyons to flash flood. There was rain in the forecast for our first day. But the weather had different plans for us. We were recently in Zion National Park to do several canyons. That’s really not what happened to us on this trip, but it was a good reminder that ALL canyons should be taken seriously. It’s a fine line between confidence and complacency. And as your confidence grows, it’s easy to take ‘easy’ canyons less seriously. Like all skills, you start canyoneering in easy canyons, then do progressively harder and harder canyons, gaining skills and experience along the way. One of the more prevalent dangers is complacency. Jerry Arizona: “Keyhole Canyon – Zion National Park – Flash flood conditions Canyoneering can be dangerous. You can even see some of the last group embrace each other after exiting the canyon in relief that they survived. Keyhole Canyon looks incredibly beautiful, but all of these people should feel very grateful that they’re alive. I’ve seen enough videos of people getting stuck in slot canyons with raging water barreling down on them from a random rainstorm for me to do something like that. I’m not going to pretend like I know a lot about canyoneering, because I don’t, but I can confidently say that I wouldn’t have entered that slot canyon knowing that a rain storm was making its way through the area. It will surely get your heart racing and blood pumping. Just watch this extremely stressful video of canyoneers getting caught in Zion National Park’s Keyhole Canyon during a flash flood. (Thomas Astruc shows Zoé and Mylène how to use the swords.) He's overseeing this group of students who are volunteering their own vacation time to produce a real-life movie. “If I’m not good enough for you or anyone else, it is what it is.” It’s the perfect message for Perfect Match itself, a show that doesn’t care if you or anyone else thinks it’s anything but lazy, frothy fun.Clara: Under the initiative of the art teacher, Jean-Pierre Monlataing, one of Françoise Dupont school's alumni, Thomas Astruc, who's become a successful film director, is participating in an ambitious project. “I am who I am,” Sasso tells Snow when she informs him she’s decided to match up with the vain and scheming Chase instead of him. (“There are literally girls who think he’s famous!,” Snow tells another contestant of Sasso’s “groupies,” a sentiment that parallels the incredulity of viewers at home.) The on-again, off-again relationship between Snow and Sasso is the surprisingly sweet motor that keeps the first few episodes of Perfect Match running. Though Sasso was known more for his cuddly Italian charm than his sex appeal on The Circle, it’s made clear in the first episode that prior to arriving at the mansion, Sasso had had sex with two contestants: Farago and Kariselle Snow, the motormouthed aspiring musician on Sexy Beasts. The most charming and compelling, if not baffling, part of Perfect Match is the surprising sex appeal of Joey Sasso, the winner of Season One of The Circle who somehow, improbably, has ended up as the Pete Davidson of the Netflix reality show universe. Hannah Gadsby Talks ‘Queer Joy’ and Calling Out Netflix But essentially, what I can cobble together is this: a group of the most terminally horny and clout-hungry cast members from some of your favorite brain-dead Netflix shows (including Francesca and Georgia from Too Hot to Handle, Shayne and Damian from Love Is Blind, Zay from The Ultimatum, Joey and Nick from The Circle, Kariselle from Sexy Beasts, and Dom from The Mole) are assembled together in a comically oversized mansion to pair up into couples. There is basically no point in telling you the premise of the show, as it is virtually impossible to follow and will make you feel like you’re on edibles for the first two episodes. Hosted by perennial Netflix zaddy Nick Lachey, who does as good a job as he can telegraphing avuncular wisdom whilst wearing a Tommy Bahama shirt, Perfect Match is perhaps Netflix’s least thoughtful reality dating show, and that is saying something. A Netflix reality show comprised of cast members from former Netflix reality shows, it is the only TV show that has the bravery to ask: what if the winner of the first season of The Circle and the panda girl from the furry dating show were hooking up and furthermore, what if people maintained enough real estate in their brains to remember who these two individuals were, and have an emotional investment in them? Perfect Match, Netflix’s new dating show, is like Circus of the Stars - except for horny F-listers. It was like the ultimate crossover episode. It gave fans a thrill to see all of these beloved TV stars assembled in a different context, usually doing minor acrobatic tricks or pretending to train Pekinese dogs. The show featured a mélange of early ‘90s network TV stars, from Alfonso Ribeiro to Bronson Pinchot to Six from Blossom. Back in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, there was a CBS show called Circus of the Stars.

You can transcode in a script based on that link and delete the link when finished.Īnother smart thing you can do is change the operation (eg transcode type etc) based on the name of the link just like links into busy box do for different commands such as ls, date and chmod Incron will pick up when the symbolic link is created passing you the link to the file or a directory to transcode. There are a number out there).Īnother workaround, that i use, is get incron to monitor a single directory and put symbolic links into that directory. One is to use a recursive version of incron (Search the net. The only downside with incron is that it is not directory recursive but there work-arounds. You can monitor directories using incron and incrontab (inotify cron) that can run a script when a file is put,moved,deleted (etc) in a directory. I believe this is possible for these two file types.

Brendan King No Comments 1941 Views Share on In Europe, you can buy the 21-jewel one from Watchunique, a Seagull importer and retailer based in the Netherlands. In the US, Long Island Watch sells the 1963 model in a 19-jewel version. Basic 1963s from Ed feature the very same hour markers, hands, and dial markings as the original 304, but you do get several hands and dial options. If you want the most historically accurate version, you might want to check out an online dealer called hked, based in Hong Kong. There are a few places to get these watches, and everywhere they’re a bit different, as Seagull seems to make different ones for every retailer. You could say it’s the most basic version, but it’s also the one with the most vintage appeal. The watch I’m reviewing is a 21-jewel version, in a 38mm case with a closed back and a hesalite crystal. Well, you could say that the original re-issue is at the bottom of an extensive range. There’s a 38mm version, a 42mm version, “panda dial” versions. Some have a hesalite crystal, and some have a sapphire crystal. Some feature the ST19 in its 19-jewel version, and some have the 21-jewel one. These range from reasonably faithful to the original to loosely based on it. The new iteration of this historic piece comes in a variety of versions. The reissueĪ few years ago, Seagull (Tianjin), in cooperation with collectors and enthusiasts, decided to reissue Project 304. Only a few years later, the wildly popular Dong Feng became one of the first export goods of the Chinese watch industry. The very same year, 1965, the Tianjin Factory started producing one of China’s first mass-made watches, the time-only Dong Feng (East Wind). You could say that this was a kickstart for the Chinese watch industry. The plated case also wasn’t state-of-the-art. They looked as if they were designed a decade earlier. As far as 1960s watches go, it wasn’t typical for its era either. The original watch had a very civilian appearance: applied hour markers and no lume. By 1965, 1400 pieces of the Project 304 chronograph were given to the pilots. By 1963, prototype batches of the “Project 304” chronograph were delivered. A 19-jewel version, the ST19, was developed later. The first version of the 175 made by the Tianjin Factory was known as the ST3. The Chinese were more than happy to buy it. That company was Venus, and the movement was the cal. However, it so happened that a certain Swiss ebaucherie was very keen to sell all the tools and machinery used for making one of their movements. Besides, designing a chronograph from scratch isn’t an easy task. Of course, for a severely understaffed facility, that was no easy task. In 1961, the Chinese government ordered the Tianjin factory to create a watch for pilots of the air force of the People’s Liberation Army. So, how are they doing? I wanted to find out. Along with relatively young companies like Maison Celadon, they’re trying to go the “Made in China with pride” way. Old and established manufacturers, like the Tianjin Factory (Seagull) and Beijing Watch Factory, are trying to appear on the WIS’ radar. But we forget the watches that Chinese manufacturers made for the domestic market.Ĭhinese horology is going through a renaissance. Most people seem to think that made in China = made badly. The reputation of Chinese horology has been butchered over the last two decades. It turns out that they offer a hand-wound column-wheel chronograph for roughly 200 euros. But what if we were to put Switzerland and Japan aside, and look where people don’t wish to look – to China? Well, that’s if we’re talking about Swiss brands. Anything else is either priced similarly or way higher. The most accessible of them is the Omega Speedmaster Professional. Unless you get lucky, it’s hard to get a bargain on a hand-wound chrono.īesides, there are a few hand-wound chronographs still in production. These days, the market for vintage chronographs is bananas. Price – 209 euro (at Watchunique, within the EU, incl.Movement – Seagull ST1901 – hand-wound chronograph, column wheel, 21 jewels, 21 600 A/h, power reserve ca.45h. |
