![]() As he moped on a seaside cliff, the other Predacons talked him into attacking a power plant in an attempt to outdo the Decepticons. His next attempt to set the real Autobots on the Decepticons went awry when he sent them to the wrong power plant. Unfortunately this went disastrously wrong, resulting in him being chewed out by Megatron. He and the Predacon trio disguised themselves as Autobots and interfered in a Decepticon mission to raid a storage plant. The Test Sky-Byte's self-esteem was soon nonexistent (especially after an on-line Fish Personality Test told him he was a jellyfish), and he became desperate to gain Megatron's approval. Although his attack on the traitors was futile, he inadvertently caused Scourge to expose the entire ruse. He continued to spy as the Decepticons attempted to prove themselves sincere to the Autobots, and eventually could stand it no more. After reporting to Megatron, the shark eavesdropped on Mega-Octane meeting with Prime as a prelude to defection. Sky-Byte trashed an oil rig on Megatron's orders, only for Scourge to show up and attack him. When the four Predacons finally tried to get in on the action, Sky-Byte barely had time to transform before Movor blasted him from orbit. Volcano While the Decepticons put another plan into action, they distracted Sky-Byte by getting him and the Predacon trio to mark out a rendezvous location. After Prime showed up with the Spychangers, Sky-Byte took advantage of the chaos in battle to try to slag Scourge. Commandosĭisappointed at the failure, Megatron assigned Sky-Byte and Scourge to guard a location on Montrose Island while the Predacon trio dug in search of an O-Part. Though Sky-Byte attempted to gain Megatron's favor by blowing up the dam himself, he was unsuccessful. He and the Predacon trio disguised themselves as Optimus Prime in an attempt to ruin the Decepticons' mission to destroy Sherman Dam. The Decepticons Scourge and the Decepticons proved much more competent than the Predacons, and Sky-Byte was driven to desperate measures to try and regain his lost status in Megatron's eyes. Sky-Byte created Movor when he fell, aiming the stasis pod's scanner at a space shuttle in orbit. There, they reformatted the protoforms into the Commandos. Sky-Byte led a mission to dig up some Autobot protoforms, and took them to McKinley Army Base with the other Predacons while Megatron kept the Autobots busy. Sky-Byte, " Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!" Optimus! Optimus Prime! I'll find you! I'll find you! I swear! You're mine! I'll get you! You're mine! I'm.much better now. That little red dot meant so, so much to my promising career. 1.1.2 Dreamwave Robots in Disguise comicįiction Cartoon continuity 2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon Voice actor: Peter Spellos (English), Konta (Japanese), Alexandr Novikov (Russian, till Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!), Vladimir Gerasimov (Russian, from Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!), Vittorio Guerrieri (Italian), Hwan Jin Kim (Korean), Ricardo Mendoza (Latin American Spanish), Alejandro Villeli (Latin American Spanish), Clécio Souto (Brazilian Portuguese) “Ĭome back, please, little dot! Please don't go away now.He has a hate-hate relationship with the new Decepticons, especially Scourge, whom he sees (rightly) as being a huge threat to his position as Megatron's second-in-command. In fact, they're more likely to try and shuffle the blame for their failures onto the shark, a gambit that's actually moderately successful, since Sky-Byte is so very good at making things worse for himself. Sky-Byte is in charge of the Predacon lackeys Dark Scream, Gas Skunk, and Slapper, not that they give him any modicum of respect. And they do seem rather impressed by him. After all, they developed his new favorite form of expression, the haiku. Maybe he sees a little something of himself in these underdogs. It doesn't help that while he's ruthless towards Autobots, humans seem quite safe from his ire. But as soon as the situation begins to slip even the smallest bit, he starts to panic and usually ends up doing something to mess things up and lose the upper hand, which makes him panic more, so he overreacts, and gets in more trouble, etc., etc., etc. When he's in control of a situation, he's a deadly, effective foe. He's actually quite intelligent and physically powerful, but he pushes himself to extremes to impress his leader. ![]() This drive is the root of all his problems. And Megatron, being Megatron, doesn't dole out praise much, so Sky-Byte tries harder and harder, getting more and more desperate. He needs the blessings of his commander, Megatron, quite possibly more than he needs energon. Still, he soldiers on, for he is a desperate need for approval. But without aptitude and patience, that means jack squat, and Sky-Byte lacks both. Deep within Sky-Byte beats the spark of a poet, a scholar, a brilliant and cultured military general who can command armies capable of conquering worlds.

Mind mapping with a sheet of paper and a pen is an incredibly intuitive and natural way to work. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog. ![]() We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site-we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. We spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. Who'd have thought before we started brainstorming that Alice Cooper flipping burgers at a family BBQ (or maybe in a fast food joint?) could make for a killer summer ad? What makes for great mind map software?Īll of our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software. "Family time" could also link to "Good weather" and "Vacation." "Burgers" could link to "Summer jobs." But by getting all these branching concepts down on paper, you can start to see the relationships between different things and generate new ideas. ![]() Some ideas will also connect back to other ideas. "BBQs" might lead to "Family time," "Good food," and "Burgers." "School's out" could lead to "Summer jobs," "Extracurriculars," and "Alice Cooper." For example, if the central theme was "Summer" (say, for a marketing campaign), the first five or so nodes might be "Good weather," "BBQs," "Vacation," "Air conditioning," and "School's out."įrom each node, you then repeat the process, drilling deeper into the different concepts. Then the fun starts: around your central theme, you create "nodes" connected by lines, each with its own related idea or theme. You start by writing a central idea or theme in the middle of a blank sheet of paper. Traditionally, a mind map is done with a pen (or, ideally, loads of colored pens) and paper.

Because the X-Lite was not designed to meet these new standards, new ones cannot be installed. No new X-Lite guardrails have been installed on American roads since new crash test standards were put into place in 2018. The agency said the X-Lite met their safety and crash test standards at the time, but new standards have recently been implemented. One grieving father even traveled to Washington, DC to meet with the Federal Highway Administration about his concerns. They have spread the word about the X-Lite’s dangerous design for years, urging leaders to remove the guardrail from highways and take action against the manufacturers. We do, however, know of several families and safety advocates who have worked tirelessly to get the X-Lite off the roads. We don’t know who is alleging the fraud or any details relating to the investigation. While neither the company nor the DOJ had any comment on the investigation, mentions of the False Claim Act implies that someone has accused Lindsay of defrauding the federal government. ![]() Lindsay Transportation Solutions recently admitted they were under investigation in a report to their shareholders. Now, those concerns are bolstered by news that the Department of Justice has launched its own investigation of the manufacturer of the X-Lite.

You can, however, enter a different Unit Type as part of the arithmetic (for example, (2in+2cm)*25) and OmniGraffle will convert the Unit Type you have specified as part of the math to the Unit Type specified in the Units inspector. If you don't specify a unit type in your math (for example, (2+2)*25), OmniGraffle uses the Unit Type specified in the Units inspector. You can also perform simple arithmetic in the input fields for example, add ( +), subtract ( −), multiply ( *), or divide ( /). As soon as you finish entering the value, OmniGraffle converts it to the correct units automatically. You can, however, enter values in any unit type that is available in the ruler, such as miles or kilometers. In places where you can enter measurements, such as in the Geometry inspector, values are shown in the current ruler units, or, if there is no unit scale, in the Units inspector. When you drag a color swatch to an object, you can drop the color on the object’s fill, stroke, or text (label) color. While rotating the object, you’ll notice that a blue angle indicator appears within the object, and a tiny popover appears showing you the degree of the angle.Īny color swatch in the Colors window can be dragged to an object on the canvas or to an inspector's color control. Select and touch an object with two fingers, and then rotate the fingers (or pivot one around the other) to rotate the object. Most Apple laptops support Multi-Touch, as does Apple's Magic Trackpad. The use of Multi-Touch gestures requires a touch-enabled trackpad. To open or close all of the inspectors, Shift-click on one of the disclosure triangles.

OmniGraffle's new pricing, however, definitely targets the app at those with some serious diagramming to do. While we admit that we aren't hardcore OmniGraffle users, the new version does at least feel and look much snappier, and the new stencil management is a very welcome addition.

Being a good Leopard citizen, OmniGraffle now supports AppleScript and Quick Look. If you're a stencil junkie who uses many of prebuilt object templates users can create, the Omni Group has also made it a lot easier to search stencils both locally and online, as well as organize and download them. Bezier curves also make their debut, offering far more flexible ways to draw lines and connect objects in a diagram. ![]() OmniGraffle's overall UI has also received a makeover, taking on many of Leopard's new UI conventions and ditching drawers for sidebars. New in OmniGraffle 5.0 are improved overall speed and new "automatic layout" options. ![]() Workflows, web sites, project management, and more can all be diagrammed with this feature-packed tool, and a just-released 5.0 upgrade brings even more to the table.

An FDA-led 2020 study found that “chemical sunscreen ingredients are systemically absorbed after one application, and some ingredients can stay in the blood for at least three weeks.” The effects of sunscreen may linger longer than expected, too. ![]() ![]() The long-term use of these chemicals, and especially chemicals not adequately tested for safety, could be problematic.” Sunscreen Chemicals Build Up in Your Blood “We slather these ingredients on our skin, but many of these chemicals haven’t been adequately tested,” says Carla Burns, EWG senior director for cosmetic science. “Despite the known toxicity concerns, oxybenzone is still widely used as a non-mineral active ingredient in sunscreens. Even the European Commission, which reviews ingredient safety in Europe, published a final opinion finding oxybenzone unsafe for use at current levels.

The result is a filmmaker who knows exactly what he’s doing, even if at times we might have been a pace or two ahead of the characters. While not wholly an original creation, the film delights in its punk zine nature, borrowing the devices that worked elsewhere and just throwing the rest against the wall to see what sticks. Fittingly, Southern framed his introduction as a love letter to Austin it’s easy to connect the dots between a creative “Slackerwood” in a middle of a red state.Įmbracing a punk aesthetic, its rapid-fire editing finds the narrative bouncing between Brea and Sheriff Mack, who abruptly cuts her off at every turn, thinking he’s digging further into the twisted set of affairs they’ve accidentally set off. Only the Good Survive contains all the twists and turns of a rambling thriller narrative that lands somewhere between Scott Pilgrim and The Usual Suspects. That’s where the plot starts going awry, and Brea and Ry finding a baby in the elder couple’s home sets off a showdown between a group of essentially lost, traumatized kids and powerful, fundamentally religious forces in town. As the three guys conspire one night they realize they need a lookout and reluctantly bring Brea into the fold. Erve comes with a loaded past and extensive criminal record of which we soon learn and he, along with lover Dev (Darius Fraser), conspire to rob an elderly couple of a series of rare gold coins that were supposed to be removed for circulation decades ago. Retracing her steps, we learn Brea fell head over heels in love with Ry (D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai), who works at the local watering hole with bouncer Erve (Will Ropp). She finds herself on the wrong side of an interrogation table as the local sheriff for this backwater, Cole Mack (played by ’90s indie film staple Fred Weller), tries piecing together the sordid state of affairs that first involves a robbery attempt gone wrong before quickly escalating into a kidnapping. ![]() Never Rarely Sometimes Always break-out Sidney Flanigan plays Brea, an adopted young woman separated from her sister who is in search of both her family and a family. In the days before streaming, this SXSW premiere feels like one of those late-night movies about which word spread amongst kids around your high school lunch table. ![]() Thankfully, Dutch Southern’s quirky Only the Good Survive rises the occasion. For movie nerds like yours truly who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s on films like Gregg Araki’s The Doom Generation and Rob Schmidt’s Crime and Punishment in Suburbia, an outrageous horror comedy with nods to QAnon is an easy movie to love. |
