Anderson went off to helm Death Race 2000. Predator, Reqium was directed by VFX pros the Brothers Strausse after Paul W.S. Jason operates on an understanding of what fans of either franchise want to see from their favorite horror villains, but Requiem never quite grasps what makes either the Alien or the Predator so special. ![]() Predator: Requiem is not one of those films. No small thanks to the heritage of Godzilla, there's a long history of titanic monster mashups that traditionally make for fun B-movie thrills and cheeky self-awareness. Or as I like to think of it when it comes to Alien movies, least awesome to most awesome. Rarely has a franchise ever been so utterly strange, throwing one curve ball after the next.īut ranking is the order of the hour, so I've put together a list of all eight Alien movies to date, ranked from worst to best. Predatordays, and Scott's unconventional return to the franchise thirty years later, the Alien films have always evolved with unpredictable and adventurous ambition, even in the face of infamous studio interference. Since then, from David Fincher's unfairly maligned Alien 3 and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's wild ride Alien: Resurrection, through the less inspired Alien vs. Likewise, James Cameron broke and reforged the mold of sci-fi action with Aliens, creating a template that filmmakers are still riffing on to this day. Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien, the Dan O'Bannon scripted classic that launched it all, is an impeccable, refined masterwork of tension that redefined what a sci-fi horror could be. But the middle ground gets tricky as someone who genuinely takes delights in all things Xenomorph and who cherishes the way in which the Alien franchise has been allowed to unfold in weird, unpredictable directions. ![]() ![]() My top spot and my last spot are unequivocal, subject only to the unlikely chance that an extraordinarily bad or downright extraordinary Alien film knocks them from their spots. Sure, there are a few that are no question. There's something you should know before you read this list.

![]() Best Footrest for Standing and Active Users: Rocking Foot Rest The ergonomic experts at Kensington recommend the following footrests for under your desk. This can be a challenge, and many do not know what to look for when shopping for a footrest. How do I find the right footrest for me?Ĭhiropractors agree the best footrests for WFH workstations will promote proper posture and help you sit in a neutral position when working at your desk. For proper support, you can simply push the footrest out further in front of you. If you are taller, you would just need an adjustable footrest. You want your legs out straight or slightly downward in front of you and keep your body at open angles.įootrests are not just for short people. A footrest should be high enough to rest your feet casually on the rest. Typically, they should be between 2 and 5 inches. It will keep you sitting upright in a more neutral posture. The angle of the footrest helps you sit back further in your chair and lean into the support of your chair. ![]() Having a footrest positioned under your desk is great for improving your ergonomic setup.Īlso, a rocking footrest improves the circulation in your legs by maintaining consistent movement throughout the day. A footrest under your desk will allow you to remain in a neutral position throughout the workday by promoting proper posture while sitting at your desk. That way, you are comfortable resting on it and can lean back into the support of your chair. To use a footrest properly, you should have it under your feet but out in front of you. ![]() That way, if you happen to be under the height standards for most workstations, your feet will not dangle off the floor. How do you elevate your feet under your desk?Ī footrest will allow you to elevate your feet so you can sit in a more comfortable position in your chair. A footrest will help those who do not fit the standard height of a desk sit in a more neutral position. Even though the workforce is more inclusive today, workstations are still set up for people 5'10" or taller. The layout of workstations hasn't changed much over the years.

To find the best one for you and your workstation, you have to consider several factors like desk height, your height, and what type of support you need to promote proper officer ergonomics. However, if you have never purchased (or even considered using) a footrest, you probably have some questions. You can reduce problems you might be experiencing with your lower back and legs when using an under-the-desk footrest. That being said, the free version does contain occasional pop-up ads. The menus are easy to navigate, given the number of features the software offers. One thing you will see praised time and time again in user MobileTrans reviews is the program’s interface.Īnd it’s true - the app looks very elegant and modern. However, the program could not recognize my phone if I selected the Viber, Kik, or WeChat option. Unfortunately, I encountered issues with this feature as well.Īll was fine with WhatsApp. Then, you can restore them whenever you want onto your phone. On the occasion that you do get it to work, however, you will have your data stored in a BAK format on your computer. It’s possible this was due to the limitations of the free trial, but it wasn’t very clear. But when it came to things like wallpapers, ringtones, or reminders, I was not able to. Photos, videos, and text messages were fine. Oftentimes, a red exclamation mark would appear, indicating the backup had failed.įurthermore, for whatever reason, the program did not let me back up a number of files. While testing the program for this MobileTrans review, the program repeatedly ran into issues trying to back up the files. The not-so-good news - there are a few hiccups. The good news is, MobileTrans can help you with that too. If your phone is host to files you consider valuable, you probably know how important backups are. The entire process is happening through your computer. From there, you can navigate to the place where the files you want to be transferred are located. When connected, the MobileTrans app will present you with a list of your phone’s directories. You can even select the folder to which you want your new file to be transferred. Once that’s done, you will be able to import any file from your computer to your phone. You will need to enable USB debugging - the software will guide you through the process. However, with the MobileTrans app, you can connect your phone to your computer and transfer files between them. Import to Phoneĭo you have a file on your computer that you would like to have on your phone?Ĭloud-based transfer apps can sometimes work, but they are not always reliable with large files.

In addition, MobileTrans can backup messages:įurthermore, you can use MobileTrans to backup your messages from your smartphone to your computer. This includes all messages, as well as any video and images you may have stored. MobileTrans can transfer WhatsApp data from one phone to another. ![]() This is only if you want to move your messages from a phone running Android 4.4 or higher.Īnd despite MobileTrans’s reassurance that it will tell me how to revert the setting after the process, that did not happen.īut once that’s done, you will have all your data safe and sound on your new device. There is one caveat - the software requires you to change your default SMS app during the transfer process. Do keep in mind the operation can sometimes take up to a few hours. ![]() The process of phone transfer depends on how much data you want to pass on. MobileTrans can backup virtually everything from one phone to another. ![]() Unfortunately for Windows Phone users, however, MobileTrans only supports Windows 8 or above. No worries, even the oldest Android and iOS phones will work. All you need to do is connect both phones to your computer through USB. MobileTrans can transfer data to a new phone regardless of either phone’s brand or operating system. Transferring files from one phone to another is MobileTrans’s main selling point. ![]() You probably won’t need to, though, because we did the hard work for you. This is ideal if you are planning on switching from Android to an iPhone, or the opposite.įurthermore, it has a free trial, if you want to check it out, before committing. Simply put, MobileTrans is an app for PC and Mac that lets you transfer files between phones. ![]() New Smyrna Beach Airport Races, New Smyrna Beach, FL, 1957.Ī 1957 Thunderbird “Battlebird” on the Track at the 1957 New Smyrna Beach Airport Races in February. But by 1957, that was pretty much a moot question, once the Corvette went racing with some considerable success starting in 1956. It is a compromise resulting from sports car looks on a workaday chassis.” Well, the exact same applied to the early Corvette, so it’s not surprising magazines were questioning its sports car pedigree too. And with its standard Powerglide in its first three years, there were plenty of folks (and R&T) asking “Is It Really a Sports Car”?Īs to the Thunderbird, SCI states: “The Bird is not truly a sports car it’s not meant to be. And the Corvette’s chassis was set up to be a bit firmer, although in its initial incarnation it was hardly typical of the classic European sports cars of the times, and was praised for its relatively comfortable ride. Obviously the Corvette’s fiberglass body made for a somewhat lighter car, which along with its lighter engine and manual transmission accounted for a 270 lb advantage. Well, the Corvette did too, and with an older chassis at that, with king pins and all, whereas the T-Bird at least had Ford’s new 1952 ball-joint suspension to work with. SCI started off making it clear that the Thunderbird has started life with a shortened Ford sedan chassis. ![]() SCI tested two more typically-equipped T-Birds: with the 245 hp four barrel 312 and the Fordomatic one an early factory pre-production car and a later production car. Ford didn’t want to totally forgo the sports car image either, hedging their bets. And Ford even went racing with it, having some specially built to go up against the Corvette and other sports-racing cars. ![]() The ’57 redesign of the T-Bird improved its handling by ditching the continental spare and it also sported some new significantly hotter engine options, all the way to a 300 hp supercharged version of its 312 cubic inch V8. But that’s not to say Ford was resting on its laurels they could see that the ‘Vette was gaining, at least in terms of image thanks to its hot new V8 engine and success on the tracks. Both had a good ride and neither of them had particularly great handling, although the Corvette’s was somewhat better.īut Ford’s positioning and its standard V8 and presumably its styling made the Thunderbird a minor hit, at least compared to the Corvette. The Corvette’s fiberglass body gave it a bit of a weight advantage, although the T-Bird’s heavier Y Block V8 was at least responsible for some of the disadvantage. They both had a 102″ wheelbase and a sporty, low slung two-seater body. Although one could argue that’s really what the early Corvette was too, with its six cylinder engine and Powerglide the two were a lot more similar than not: both sat on a shortened sedan chassis, although the Thunderbird’s was more modern. Given the Corvette’s miserable sales in its first few years, it was a very good move on Ford’s part to reposition their sports car project Thunderbird as a “personal car”. ![]() Surprisingly I learned nothing was considered in my case review after the visit and Fax. My card remained restricted for a additional week and I called to get an update on the document review. The customer service person called Fraud and they provided a secure Fax number to send the copies to. While traveling through New York on a business trip I made time to appear at the Banking Branch of Capital midtown and provided original copies of two Govt IDs and 2 utility bills confirming my identity and residence. Social Security and State issued IDs followed by multiply proofs of residence formed the base of their demands. Demands continued for very personal Government issued documents continued. What one finds out on the journey is in spite of having two other Capital One cards underwritten by them, a MasterCard and a Visa with a balance paid on time the Fraud Department will not cross reference any of your history. Several calls and long discussions followed. If this is my first experience I can only imagine what’s yet in store. Provide better service & other resources to your customers. & again she said very rudely says “Well, I’m telling you now that you can’t.” Okay capital one, so then your email needs major adjustments because that’s FALSE advertisement. IT LITERALLY SAYS IT ON THE EMAIL/IN WRITING THAT I CAN SET IT UP. repeatedly told me she understands it says that on the email, but she’s telling me now that it cannot be done until I receive the card. she said, "You cannot sign up for the online account until I receive your card in 7-10 business days." I told her it says “IN THE MEANTIME, LETS SET UP YOUR ACCOUNT” not “set up your online account once you’ve received your card in 7-10 business days.” In addition to that, I received an email stating my card would be mailed out within 7-10 business days & “In the meantime, let’s set up your online account if you haven’t already.” For some reason I wasn’t able to add my cell number & was referred to call customer service. ![]() ![]() (Side Note: If you're using a custom domain, add that under authorized domain which you can find right below these providers).Īlright, our Auth Providers are set up! So now, we can go ahead and grab our firebase SDK config. (Note: You need a dev account in Twitter and GitHub before you can add them as OAuth providers). In my case, I chose: Google, Twitter, and GitHub. Ok, so while we're waiting for our dependencies, we can go ahead to firebase console, set up the auth provider/s, and get our SDK config.įirst, go to firebase console, go to Authentication, and choose SignIn method.įrom there, choose the sign in method you want. Let it finish in the background while we proceed on the next step □. Npm i firebase react-firebase-hooks react-firebaseui This module contains a component that we can just import and render, that's why I said building Sign In page with Firebase is a breeze. React-firebaseui - The SignIn UI by Firebase. (This will help lessen the boilerplate we have.) React-firebase-hooks - A collection of firebase utils for common firebase operations. Once that's finished, we can cd my_login (or whatever name you choose), and install our dependencies.įirebase - The Firebase SDK we will be using for this project To start our Next.js project, open your terminal, then enter npx create-next-app my_login and wait for it to set up a Next.js Environment (you can name it whatever you want, it doesn't need to be my_login). Ok, if you're all set, let's go ahead and build a sign in page, shall we?Īlright, so the first thing we have to do is to start and initialize our next.js project, install some dependencies, and get our configs from firebase. ![]() Btw, if you want to learn Next.js and get up to speed with what it is (and why it's better than React), I have a blog about A quick introduction to Next.js which you can check out. You can then proceed to console once everything is set up.Īlso, this blog assumes you already know Next.js since we will be building the sign in page with Next.js, but if you don't, you can use React if you prefer (since the code will also be pretty much the same) or use any framework you like. After signing up, proceed to creating a Project, and then add app, and choose web. They also have a very generous free plan without requiring you a credit card, so this step will be not that of an obstacle. If you haven't yet, you can go to their page at Firebase to create an account, and start a new project. So without further ado, let's go ahead and build a Sign In Page!īefore we begin, this blog assumes you already have a Firebase account and app set up. ![]() So in this blog, we will be building a Sign In page with Firebase UI and Auth, and I'll be using Next.js here (because it's awesome, but you can also use React if you want, or other framework). This UI that I'm talking about is also the same UI used by Google throughout its Google products, which is backed by years of research on UI/UX (so yeah, we're actually standing in the shoulder of a giant, folks!) Handling Authentication and Authorization with Firebase is like a piece of cake thanks to their awesome SDK and documentation.īut that doesn't stop there, because Firebase also offers a pre-built UI for us Devs to use so that we can quickly build a sign in/sign up page. ![]() Info: The Azure is located on Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach, FL and offers handicap beach access with a beach ramp.Īddress: 1150 Santa Rosa Boulevard, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548 Magnolia House has both condos and homes available for rent.Īddress: 480 Gulf Shore Dr. Info: Magnolia House is located on Holiday Isle in Destin, FL and offers handicap beach access with a beach ramp.

Although the Always-On mode is power efficient, it still uses some battery life and Low Power Mode does all it can to conserve juice. If you use Low Power Mode, always-on will also be disabled. This means the iPhone will not shine brightly during the night, when you are sleeping. If you are using the system Sleep mode with the Sleep Focus, the Always-On features will also be disabled. If you wear an Apple Watch, the iPhone 14 Pro screen will also fully turn off if your phone notices your watch has moved far away from it the display will automatically wake up when you get close again. If you put your iPhone 14 Pro face down on the table, or it detects it has been placed in your pocket or bag, the display will go black to save battery life (as you can’t see the phone screen anyway). In some circumstances, the iPhone 14 Pro will automatically turn off the Always-On feature when it thinks you don’t need it. When does the Always-On Display turn off automatically? There are also some other cases where the system will temporarily disable the always-on display feature. If you don’t want to use always-on display at night, you can use the Sleep Focus.
