The youngest Norn Sister, Skuld, is also attracted to him mostly because of his kindness and beauty. Although in the anime, Loki is shown to be happy about Freya's feelings for him (Episode 13), ever since their initial confrontation where Loki learned of Freya's loneliness because of him. In both series, Freyja loved him in the world of gods but he does not like her that way. (Or perhaps he simply becomes carsick.) Loki has many romantic interests. He has red-brown hair and green eyes he also has an aversion to deep water, as well as a possibly small case of amaxophobia, since he seems to hate riding in cars. He is the father of Fenrir, Yamino ( Jormungand), and Hel. Trapped in the body of a child, he seeks a way back to the realm of the gods and his original body. As time passes, however, other Norse gods and characters appear some befriend Loki and others are intent on assassinating him.Ĭharacters Loki ( ロキ, Roki ) Voiced by: Yuriko Fuchizaki (Japanese), Shannon Emerick (English)Īdult Form - Takahiro Sakurai (Japanese), Jose Diaz (English) God of mischief (and in some versions chaos) in Norse mythology. Loki is assisted by his loyal companion Yamino and the pair are soon joined by a human girl named Mayura Daidouji who is manic for mysteries and often unwittingly assists him in catching the auras. In order to do this, he starts a detective agency which specializes in the paranormal. Along with being exiled, Loki is forced to take the form of a human child, and the only way he can return to the realm of the gods is by collecting the evil auras which take over human hearts. Loki, the Norse god of mischief, has been exiled to the human world by the god Odin for reasons that he doesn't understand. The anime series was broadcast in Mexico and South America by the anime television network, Animax, under the name Mythical Sleuth Loki. The anime has been licensed for English release by Section 23 Films. Chuang Yi has released an English version in Singapore. The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok ran for 5 more volumes, which were published in Japan by Blade Comics, and picked up for translation and English release by ADV Manga. The Mythical Detective Loki was collected in 7 volumes by Gangan Comics, which were later republished by Blade Comics it has not been officially licensed for US distribution. The series originally ran in the magazine Monthly Shōnen Gangan under the name The Mythical Detective Loki ( 魔探偵ロキ, Matantei Loki ), but Ragnarok was added to the title when the series was purchased by publishing company MAG Garden and moved to Comic Blade magazine. A television anime based on the manga series ran for 26 episodes from April 5, 2003, to September 27, 2003, in Japan.

Gender also affects a tortoiseshell cat’s life expectancy. Outdoor cats face such perils as cars, dogs, and a variety of diseases. There are a variety of factors that can affect a cat’s longevity, however.įor example, cats that are kept indoors live twice as long as cats that roam outside. How long do tortoiseshell cats live?Īs mentioned earlier, tortie cat life expectancy is the same average life expectancy of any cat is around 14 years. Pointed cats such as the Siamese have the usual creamy bodies, but their points are tortoiseshell. Many cat breeds produce tortoiseshell cats.īreeds with tortoiseshell cats include the following: What breeds of cats can be tortoiseshell?Īccording to Leslie Carver, a writer for “ The Nest’s” pet section, the tortoiseshell coloration can occur in both random-bred cats and pedigreed cats. Cats with Klinefelter Syndrome thus often have a reduced life expectancy. They can have a reduction in their bone mineral content, and that increases the chances of their breaking a bone. Cats with Klinefelter Syndrome often have more body fat than other cats, which increases their risk of developing heart disease, joint problems, or diabetes. They can also have behavior problems caused by developmental and cognitive issues. For example, the vast majority are sterile. That extra X chromosome means their fur coloration works like that of a female cat, so they can have black and orange patches rather than being all black or all orange like their brothers.Īccording to Heather M., a writer for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), male calico and tortoiseshell cats have a variety of health problems. Males with the condition have an extra X chromosome, so they are XXY rather than the normal XY. These cats have a condition called Klinefelter Syndrome, which can also occur in humans. Only one cat in 3000 calicos or torties will be a boy. Mary Becker, a veterinarian, and writer, for “ Vet Street” notes that tortoiseshells and calicos can be male – but it’s very rare. Other genes determine if the cat will also have white blotches and be a calico or have stripes and be a torbie (tortoiseshell tabby).ĭr. The result will be a cat with patches of black and orange fur. Those instructions determine what color a given patch of fur will be. Very early during development, one of the X chromosomes in each cell will become inactive and form a Barr body, and the other X chromosome will provide the cell with instructions on which genes will be expressed. Since male cats have only one X chromosome, they can only inherit a single allele that will make them black or orange.Ī female cat, however, is XX and can inherit both alleles. This gene has two alleles or versions one results in a black coat and the other gives the cat an orange coat. One of the genes that determine coat color is located on the X chromosome. Girl cats end up with two X chromosomes, while boys receive an X and a Y chromosome. Each cat inherits a single chromosome from each parent. Julianna LeMieux, a writer for the American Council on Science and Health explains the mechanism that results in the birth of a tortoiseshell or calico cat.Ĭats, like humans, have two sex chromosomes, X and Y. Torties and calicos are nearly always female, and the reason has to do with genetics. Is it true that tortoiseshell cats and calicos are always girls? A “torbie” is a tortoiseshell cat that also has the stripes and spots of the tabby. What is a tortoiseshell cat?Īccording to Denise LeBeau, a writer for “ Catster,” the word “tortoiseshell” doesn’t describe a breed but a coat pattern.Ī tortoiseshell cat or “tortie” is one that has a mixture of black and orange fur, and a dilute tortoiseshell has grey and peach fur.Ī tortoiseshell cat that also has white blotches is often called a calico or tricolored cat. If Tillie the Tortoiseshell is 12 years old, for example, she would be considered a senior. Older cats fall into the last two categories. Prime and mature cats are, respectively, young and middle-aged adults. A kitten is a young cat that hasn’t hit puberty yet, while a junior is a feline adolescent. The AAHA also divides a cat’s life into six stages: kitten, junior, prime, mature, senior, and geriatric. So, a three-year-old cat would be comparable to a human of 28, while a 15-year-old cat would be comparable to a human of 76. They then age four years for every year after. Who doesn't want to see Bette Midler sing?” Can't compete with that, so I didn't try.” Instead, Fletcher shared, “We stayed really focused on trying to stay more towards the story, and we just had so many fun options of songs to choose from. “As I like to say, I didn't feel like I could compete with ‘I Put a Spell on You,’ for which Bette and Marc Shaiman did the arrangement and the lyrics. “Well, the mission in general is the story and honoring the first movie, and making sure that I'm honoring these characters for the fans and bringing it into a new generation.” When it came to the music - an integral part of the original’s charm - she said she wanted to do something completely its own. In moving on to the sequel, director Anne Fletcher sought to carry on the story of the Sanderson Sisters. I think it is generational, and I think it's sort of perennial,” where it comes back year after year. So it becomes part of the fabric of the history of the family.” Director Anne Fletcher agreed: “I think that's right. Actor Kathy Najimy, who plays middle sister Mary Sanderson, said, “There was something in film, I think, where the generation shows it to their kids, who shows it to their kids, who shows it to their kids. Of course, there couldn’t be a sequel if the original movie hadn’t stood the test of time. Directed by Anne Fletcher with a fantastic script from Jen D’Angelo, and produced by Lynne Harris, Adam Shankman, Ralph Winter, and David Kirschner, the movie introduces audiences to new characters Becca (Whitney Peak), Izzy (Belissa Escobedo), Cassie (Lilia Buckingham), and Gilbert (Sam Richardson) in addition to reuniting the three Sanderson sisters and benevolent zombie Billy Butcherson (Doug Jones). Hocus Pocus 2 debuted exclusively on Disney+ September 30, and it’s already become the streaming service’s biggest movie debut in the U.S. The Sanderson Sisters - Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy), and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) - have been gone ever since Max, Allison, Emily, and Thackery Binx defeated them in 1993’s Hocus Pocus, and now, the witches are back. The black flame candle is lit again, and the witches have returned. Whatever the method used we will be able to install and use Microsoft Office 2019 on your newly purchased or formatted computer, without having to uninstall anything and without starting third-party programs (as seen in the previous chapter of the guide). Microsoft site: did we buy Office 2019 from the official Microsoft website? In this case it is possible to retrieve the license by accessing the Microsoft order history, entering the login credentials of the Microsoft account used for the purchase, by clicking on the item Office 2019 and subsequently on Install now to download the version with the license already active (all we have to do is log in when the installer starts).Digital license: if we purchased Microsoft Office 2019 with a digital license, we must retrieve the email we used on the e-commerce site or on the license distribution portal and access the email message sent to us immediately after purchase, in order to recover the user license on the fly.Office 2019 disk packaging: if we purchased Office with physical support, simply retrieve the package to find the Product Key printed inside or on an attached information sheet.In order to recover the license we can follow several paths that we can follow, as we can see from the list below: the Product Key) in clear text in the Windows settings registry: the code is saved with a random string, which cannot be used for switching from one PC to another. Starting from Office 2019, Microsoft no longer shows the license to use (i.e. If we have Microsoft Office 2016 installed on the PC we can rely on the program Lazesoft Key Finder, downloadable for free from the official website.Īlso in this case, finding the Microsoft Office Product Key is really simple: download the program executable, start it and save the office suite license by pressing the key Save or on the Print button (we can either print it on paper or print it in PDF). To use it, simply unzip the files in the ZIP compressed archive, ignore the Windows Defender warning (Setting the warning to Allow, since it is a hack and not a dangerous virus) and finally launch the extracted executable, so as to view the license for the copy of Office we are currently using. If we use the old versions of Microsoft Office (2003-2010) we can quickly recover the product key of the suite using a free and portable program such as ProduKey, produced by Nirsoft and downloadable from the official website. For the sake of completeness, we will therefore show you both the methods to recover the license from the old versions of Office (from 2003 to 2016) and the methods to be able to recover the license in the new version of Office (2019) and in the cloud version of the suite ( Microsoft 365). In any case, all the methods that we will show you are easy to apply even for novice users, who will be able to transfer the license without the help of a technician.Īs anticipated in the introduction, there are several methods that we can use to recover the Microsoft Office Producy Key, some of which are applicable only to old versions of the office suite. In this guide we will show you how to find the Microsoft Office product key, paying particular attention to the differences between the various versions available on the market and still supported by Microsoft. One of the products that should be installed immediately on our computer is Microsoft Office: if we have purchased the physical copy or the license, they can also be used on the new PC without problems, so as to maintain productivity on the new device. When we format a PC or buy a new laptop, it is also necessary to recover the user licenses or Product Keys of the programs we use, so as to avoid having to buy them again as if we were new users.

Normally priced at $249, it's down to $219 for a limited time only. You shouldn’t need an accountant to buy a new fitness trackerĪmazon Halo View launches alongside new nutrition and fitness featuresĪmazon is frequently a great destination for Apple deals and we're particularly keen to see a sweet discount on the latest Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) right now. Because, unfortunately, we’ve no idea what the future holds. The death of Amazon Halo should be another warning sign we should be extremely wary about paying a subscription for a health and fitness tracker. Subscription packages of all types aren’t exactly getting the best press at the moment just look at what’s happening at Twitter for evidence, and the end of Halo isn’t going to help. It’s obviously not easy to do, but another aspect of Halo’s closure has highlighted the downsides of tech subscription models. Instead of accepting this, think about whether that company would be able to match Amazon’s promise of refunds and further support should it decide to not support a product any longer for some reason. Obviously, businesses can’t see into the future, and any making sweeping commitments about the long-term would not only be empty promises - but also pretty reckless. If you don’t see it, then it’s probably better to buy upfront, and one time only, for your next piece of health tech. People already want and rightly expect value, and now we should be extra mindful about putting additional emphasis on commitment too. We’re committing to use and pay monthly or annually for a product, and in return for that financial support and data, it’d be nice for the company to continue existing and regularly deliver new features. It’s time to remember commitment is a two-way street. I wonder how many Halo owners will go on to choose another subscription-based alternative. If you’ve spent the last years with a Halo tracker, you’re now forced to start again, but not voluntarily. Why is thinking about commitment so important? Who wants to spend all that time, money, and effort investing in a fitness product, only to find out it suddenly becomes worthless through no fault of your own? When you add a subscription into the mix, and a product that then has no ongoing use, it’s even more galling. The most recent Amazon Halo product, the Halo Rise, came out in November 2022, giving buyers a mere five months of “reassurance” at most. In return, it’s not unreasonable to expect commitment from the company, whether that’s ongoing features and support … or simply for the company to still be there in a year’s time. You need to commit to using them in order to get the most benefit, and you must financially commit to making full use of the sensors and software. At the very least, Halo’s destruction should be a warning to anyone thinking about buying a Whoop fitness band, the Oura Ring smart ring, or even a Fitbit.Īll of them require commitment. When a company with Amazon’s resources is forced to do that, it doesn’t bode well for other, far smaller companies with similar products. There are no promisesĪmazon’s Halo isn’t the only subscription-based health and fitness product out there, but it is one of the few that has entirely closed down its operations. The subscription fee absolutely wasn’t a lifeline for Halo and provided no protection to you as a consumer at all. But Amazon isn’t going to discontinue successful product lines that make it money - it’s going to get rid of the ones that do the opposite. The Halo products weren’t the best of their type you could get, but Amazon’s massive reach, brand recognition, and willingness of its core customers to pay a subscription for its services should have helped mitigate at least some of that issue. Halo is now a failure, and regardless of why it has happened, it’s one that the subscription model couldn’t help save. The decision to kill Halo is speculated to be part of Amazon’s ongoing cost reduction, as it deals with changes in how people spend and global financial situations. There are also ways to download collected health data, so not everything will be lost after the shutdown date. Those who have paid the $4 per month subscription fee, or have recently purchased a Halo product, may be entitled to a refund, and it’s also providing a way to return and recycle Halo products, which are obviously now completely useless. However, Amazon is doing something for its customers. Why fitness tracker subscriptions are a rip-off (and how to avoid them) He is joined by Harbinger, Williams, and Rabinowitz, the sole escapee of the prior rescue mission and whom Topper suspects to be the saboteur. Topper initially refuses, but when yet another rescue mission (this one, in turn, led by Walters) fails, he agrees to lead a small group of soldiers into Iraq. Walters and Michelle Huddleston, CIA, arrive and try to tempt him out of retirement in order to rescue the imprisoned soldiers and the previous rescue parties. Colonel Denton Walters suggests that they recruit war hero Topper Harley for the next mission, but Topper has retired from the United States Navy and become a reclusive Buddhist in a small Thai village. This failed operation turns out to be the latest in a series of rescue attempts which were foiled by the Iraqis, and consequently the advisors of President Benson suspect a mole in their own ranks. One night, an American special forces team invades Saddam Hussein's palace and a nearby prison camp to rescue captured soldiers from Operation Desert Storm and to assassinate Saddam, but they find the Iraqis waiting for them, and the entire rescue team is captured. Members of both men's families have roles as extras. A sequel to Hot Shots!

It’s a transformative moment for Wanda, not only because she literally does a cool magic transformation into her new costume but because she finally knows the truth about herself and her powers, and is coming to terms with it alone. Once she beats Agatha and takes on the guise of the Scarlet Witch, she does it without question. In case the allusion here isn’t clear, Wanda has to give up her dream life in order to save the denizens of Westview who’ve all been under her grief spell. Instead, we see a Wanda who sacrifices her happiness to make amends. There’s no Charles Xavier or Stephen Strange swooping in to save her from herself. While her tragedy is still front and center, it’s she who eventually makes the decisions that she needs to begin to fix it. She’s a grieving woman who did something terrible and is finally working her way to making it right. Here Wanda isn’t a pawn in a greater scheme or an innocent used for malevolent means. But this series has done a lot of work to fix that. In both the comics and on screen, creators have struggled to give Wanda agency. When she does, our hero can no longer live in the pretense she’s built around herself and her dream family. Don’t worry, your giant-size box of tissues will still come in handy because as much as Agatha might be a force for chaos she does seem to want to help Wanda see the truth behind her actions. With all that action going on–and there’s a lot of it–you could be forgiven for thinking that WandaVision has forgotten about the thing that makes the show so special: its heart. And, of course, the Vision who can love and feel convinces the new (or is it old?) Vision of his own agency, helping him to restore his memories before the pale synthezoid flies off into the sky to freedom. Despite all of the MCU‘s science fiction trappings, it rarely touches on the darker ethical struggles that make the genre sing, and here we finally scratch that surface. It’s a truly powerful exploration of the character and of the idea of personhood itself. In one of the best moments of the series and of the MCU’s decade-plus long run, with Bettany giving an incredible performance acting against himself in a philosophical debate around existence itself. While White Vision (also Paul Bettany) was sent to Westview to destroy Wanda and her family by SWORD, it’s not long before he’s outsmarted by the Vision that Wanda created to fix her grief. That duality and antagonistic student/teacher relationship is reflected in the equally dramatic scenes between the Vision (Paul Bettany) and his new white counterpart. While Agatha thinks she’s outsmarting her lesser, Wanda is taking on the role of student, imbibing anything she can from the age old witch. Her battle with Agatha is one that’s constantly teaching her the rules of her own magic, and the boundaries–or lack of them–that she has to work within. Whether to the death of her parents, the powers she was gifted by the Mind Stone, the death of her brother, or her role as an Avenger, she’s always evolved and changed in order to survive. Wanda’s entire life has been about adapting. The former is desperate for the power which the latter wields, even if she doesn’t quite know what to do with it yet. We start directly where we left off with Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) and Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) facing off in Westview. While the pacing might be a little frantic at times, by the time the credits roll–and the delightful post-credits scenes surprises–you’ll likely feel very satisfied by this experimental and emotional conclusion for a show that has been both of those things during its best moments. And for the most part, Matt Shakman and Jac Schaeffer do a solid job of tying up the many loose ends. Beginning with an intense and almost jarringly fast-paced action sequence that spanned most of the first two acts of the 42 minute run time, “The Series Finale” is fully aware of all it had to answer. How do you end a series like WandaVision? Well, if the ninth and final episode of the Disney+ show is anything to go by, then the answer is… busily. This WandaVision review contains spoilers. |
