![]() “I just want you to know that there’s no getting out of this. ![]() One of them, the blonde, walked over to her, and put her hands on Liz’s shoulders from behind. The businesswoman stood up and left, leaving her alone with the two latex nurses. “These two nurses will begin preparations for you to live out your sentence.” “Really?” she asked, squirming in her seat. The JF Institute was also an insane asylum, so no doubt they used her favourite item of bondage, the straightjacket. She imagined what it would be like, how good it would feel, to be trapped, locked away deep within one of the facilities dark rooms, struggling against her bonds with no chance of escape. This was more than she could have ever hoped for. And she was being sentenced to permanent bondage, to imprisonment for the rest of her life. She knew that Elena would sometimes send nosey reporters there to disappear. “You will serve out your sentence at the JF Institute, our current location, starting now.” “You have been sentenced a lifetime of bondage and isolation,” the businesswoman stated. She had been tied up as Elena’s slave for several years now. However, there was no way Liz could have done it. She had felt the sunlight on her skin for the first time in years, and she had hated it. ![]() It was enough that they had raided the gang's headquarters with a SWAT them.Įlena had offered Liz up as the culprit, and the police had arrested her. That had caused too much noise for even corrupt officers to ignore, especially with people outside the city more powerful than them wanting an arrest. The police had come to arrest one of Elena’s bikers for the murder of a judge. “You have been found guilty of the first-degree murder of a federal judge.” “Elizabeth Jong,” the businesswoman spoke with a cold voice. One of them had blond hair, and the other was a brunette. The woman in the business suit sat across from her, and the other two stood at her sides. She loved the feeling of powerlessness that came from bondage, but she couldn’t stand the feel of latex. Just then, a doorway opened in one of the walls, and three women, one wearing a business suit, and the other two clad in tight-fitting latex suits and carrying large packages wrapped in plastic, walked in. She belonged to Elena, and she belonged in a tight straightjacket, all bound up for her mistress to tease and torture. Seeing herself naked, seeing herself unbound, it felt wrong. Her skin was paler than the last time she remembered seeing it, before she became a slave. ![]() She would have liked to experience the thrill of being strapped tight in the back with her straightjacket. They had given her a sedative after they had strapped her into the back of the police van, and they must have taken her clothes when she was unconscious. She looked down to examine her naked body. Elena was the most powerful gang leader in the city, and when police would come to arrest her, it would often end up worse for them than it did for her. It must have been for a crime so big, that it could not be ignored by them. The police had busted in, waving their guns around. She had been with Elena, in her own personal cell behind her mistress’s office. She could remember parts of what happened, but not too much. Having been sedated only minutes before, she could hardly remember why she was here. The walls were all painted white, and she couldn’t tell where the door was, or even if the room had any doors. There was only a desk in front of her, another chair beyond that, and to her right, a table. The room she found herself in did not have much furniture. Liz awoke to find herself sitting in a chair, stripped naked.

![]() The title was changed to Camila and it’s hard not to wonder if its overall tone might have changed with it. It was a big enough success to establish Cabello as an artist in her own right, rather than an ex-member of a girl band, which seems to have caused a rethink about her album. The Young Thug-assisted Havana played on Cabello’s Cuban roots, chimed with the current vogue for Latin-flavoured pop and became one of those singles that gets into the charts then stubbornly declines to push off: months after it first appeared, it’s still in the Top 5. The Loving, while a track scheduled to appear on it, called I Have Questions, let her former bandmates have it in no uncertain terms: “Why don’t you care? I gave you all of me … I should never ever have trusted you”, etc.īut that was before another track, softly released as a promotional single, went supernova. At one point, Cabello’s solo debut was going to be released under the winningly portentous title The Hurting. The entertaining mutual slanging match reached a peak when Fifth Harmony performed at last year’s MTV VMAs with an anonymous figure in Cabello’s place, who immediately fell backwards from the stage, as if they’d employed a sniper and had her shot.Īnd finally, there’s the enticing prospect of an album from the departee that bitterly picks over their recent past in the manner of Robbie Williams’ early post-Take That oeuvre. ![]() The brief period where everyone involved starts behaving as if a member of a manufactured pop band leaving is a global humanitarian tragedy that must be prevented at all costs: according to a report in Billboard magazine, Fifth Harmony’s management did everything short of demanding the United Nations deploy a peacekeeping force, insisting the band took a therapist on the road with them and organising something referred to as a “ come to Jesus meeting” with then-Epic Records CEO LA Reid. First, the curious sound of a manufactured pop band member huffily protesting that being in a manufactured pop band is stifling their capacity for self-expression, as if they mistakenly thought they were joining an experimental free-improvisation quintet along the lines of the AMM. The singer did not speak about the reason for her departure for years.For connoisseurs of the piquant moment when a manufactured pop band goes awry, Camila Cabello’s acrimonious 2016 departure from US X Factor runners-up Fifth Harmony provided rich pickings. RELATED: 10 Things Camila Cabello Has Done Since Leaving Fifth HarmonyĪfter four and a half years of a successful career, the singer decided to depart from the group and became a solo artist in 2016. In 2015, the singer collaborated as a solo artist with her then-best friend and now ex-boyfriend Shawn Mendes with their duet song 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' That was when the speculation over the singer planning to leave the group began. Yet things turned sour when Camila departed the group to pursue solo success. But the girls managed to make themselves a spot in the music industry thanks to their fans, who according to FoxWeekly were labeled the group the #1 most 'influential' X Factor USA contestant of all time. Even though they gained a lot of attention and popularity, they ended in third place. After several names like 'LYLAS' and '1432', they finally decided to stick with Fifth Harmony. ![]() Communicate and Implement Solutions: Share the diagram for discussion and decision-making, using insights gained to develop targeted solutions.Use Software Tools (Optional): Consider digital tools for a more polished Ishikawa diagram.Review and Refine: Collaboratively review the diagram, making adjustments for accuracy and relevance.Document Causes: Write down identified causes on the appropriate branches to maintain clarity.A fishbone diagram is a visualization tool for categorizing the potential causes of a problem.

Items that can transform into White Cat Mario "Shiro Neko Mario" ni Henshin Dekiru Aitemu The player will need to use the amiibo once again if they want to use White Cat Mario in another level. When the Invincibility Bell is sent to the inventory, it will turn into a Super Bell, and after completing a level in Super Mario 3D World, its effect will go away and Mario will revert to the basic Cat form. Similarly to the Invincibility Leaf, the Invincibility Bell grants a character the abilities of Cat Mario when obtained, as well as permanent invincibility to most enemies and objects as with the Super Star. It and its resulting form, White Cat Mario, can only be obtained if the player scans the Cat Mario or Cat Peach amiibo that launched with the release of the game, with the Cat Mario amiibo always producing an Invincibility Bell when scanned and the Cat Peach amiibo having a chance to produce it among other power-ups. ![]() The Invincibility Bell is a power-up based on the Super Bell that appears in both campaigns of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury ( 2021) Reason: see if there is an official Japanese name (tagged on June 4, 2021) Is there a fix I you are aware of?Using any other amiibo will summons a 1-Up Mushroom in Super Mario 3D World and a Super Mushroom in Bowser’s Fury.It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Whenever I try to write a tag with TagMo it tells me it failed to decrypt tag data. The two amiibo will both be available on the 2nd of February. All Mario amiibo 2021 | iMore All Mario amiibo 2021 | iMoreĬat Mario will grant players the ability to transform into an invincible White Cat Mario, and Cat Peach will cause power-up items to appear randomly.

Good question – the specific process depends on the methods available to you. In 10 years they will start to hold a value 5-10x the cost. The Invincibility Bell 1 is a power-up based on the Super Bell that appears in both campaigns of Super Mario 3D World + Bowsers Fury. Making them a collectors item from release. Bottom line from a collectors point of view is these are nicely detailed items which carry the Nintendo tag. amiibo Software Compatibility Chart | Nintendo amiibo Software Compatibility Chart | Nintendo Felt would have been better or just a smooth plastic surface honestly. However, unlike White Tanooki Mario, using White Cat Mario in a level does not tamper with the stars in the save file. The Invincibility Bell and its resulting form can only be obtained if the player scans the Cat Mario or Cat Peach amiibo that launched with the release of the game, with the Cat Mario amiibo always producing an Invincibility Bell when scanned and the Cat Peach amiibo having a chance to produce it among other power-ups. It functions similarly to White Tanooki Mario, granting that form's invincibility and Cat Mario's abilities. ![]() I’m not an Apple guy, so I’ll forward your question to the Tagmiibo devs White Cat Mario is a white, sparkling version of Cat Mario that appears in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, obtained by collecting an Invincibility Bell. Like Cat Mario, Cat Peach debuted in Super Mario 3D World and reappears in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury just as cute and just pink as before. Cat Peach is also joining in on the action. ![]() Resident Evil Village for iPhone 15 Pro hands-on: Terrifyingly good (and just plain scary without a controller) Cat Mario isn't the only new amiibo being released.

Marcus’ parents are visiting (they are so cute!) and I know they enjoy desserts – so it was a good excuse to get rid of a large portion of cake. Once the cake was done and photographed, we hurried over to our neighbor’s house with half of it. Layers of cake, buttercream frosting, and chocolate espresso ganache I have a gazillion piping tips and only know how to use about 3 of them. I like simple because that’s about the limitation of my decoration skills. I like to tell folks that I like simple because simple is elegant (tis true). I generally go with simple edible decorations. My problem usually comes when it is time to decorate. Layered cake assembly is becoming a no-brainer for me and I go on auto-pilot. Make that chocolate espresso swiss meringue buttercream frosting Instead of the buttercream frosting that Marcel gives us, I reverted to my trusty Swiss meringue buttercream frosting (ha, you thought I was going to say Swiss army knife? I like those too). Remove the cakes from their pans after coolingĬhocolate, chopped unsweetened chocolate, and espresso powder for buttercream frosting I had no troubles with the cake (with my adjustments) except that my oven isn’t completely level and well – that’s me being a lazy bum who’d rather trim it off than try to level the stupid oven… No worries. ![]() Incorporating dry ingredients and sour creamĪlthough the instructions for the batter may seem tedious, I highly recommend following them because the additional beating transforms the batter into a light and fluffy mix. Seemed to work just fine (the cake is delicious on its own). I replaced the cake flour with all-purpose flour and reduced the leavening by 75%. I just can’t stand tanking a recipe because of elevation, but I especially hate to tank a recipe that requires multiple components and almost 1.5 pounds of good quality dark chocolate. I’ve made it several times at sea-level, but the degree of involvement made me reluctant to try it at elevation until now. This is Marcel Desaulnier’s Chocolate Espresso Fudge Cake from one of my favorite cake books: Death by Chocolate. Whipping eggs, butter, and sugar into the fluffiest of batters Today we had rain (and snow in the high country!) with temps flirting with the 30s. I’ve been wanting to make this for a while, but between the heat of summer, health issues, and getting stuff done in between health issues – I haven’t had a chance. Today I made Jeremy’s (belated) birthday cake. ![]() I wonder among foodies if they love the cooking or the eating more?Ĭase in point. I didn’t used to think so, but after spending months cooking and baking things I couldn’t eat during chemo, I realized that for as much as I love to eat the food, I love the making of it even more. ![]() But the problem for me is that I would miss the prep more than the eating. He still talks about it like some concept that would free up a few hours a day, that is until I mention sushi, or pan-seared scallops, or crab, or chocolate or… I can see the appeal of chow, to get more hours in the day. He really liked the idea of bachelor chow, sort of like Kaweah’s dry kibbles – same thing every meal.

I spent some time with Fitness+ as well as a handful of competing at-home workout services to see how Apple’s newest service stacks up against the rest.įitness+ has a few logistical hurdles we should address first. Fitness+ has an edge with its Apple Watch integration, but that doesn’t mean all Apple Watch users will flock to (and stick with) the service when there are dozens of other options to choose from. Daily Burn has over ten years worth of workout videos covering all fitness levels, and services like Glo Yoga target those interested in honing specific exercise skills. Peloton dominates the home cycling space and keeps adding non-cycling workouts to its repertoire. Just a few weeks ago, Apple joined this ever-growing space with Fitness+, it’s new at-home workout program that requires an Apple Watch to use.īut Fitness+ arrived a bit late to this living-room lunge party and has stiff competition. ![]() While companies like Peloton and Daily Burn have been delivering live and on-demand exercise videos to smartphones and smart TVs for some time, quarantine restrictions led many more people to choose services like these in an effort to stay active at home. ![]() There are plenty of ways to start getting fit in the new year, but 2020 ushered in the era of the at-home workout service. ![]() It’s also possible that she would be captured and remain a prisoner in the palace. For example, we assume she’d escape the palace and try to find another way to free her kingdom and bring Tsubaki back. There are a few possibilities about what could happen next, though. The fate of the resurrected Misa is also left open ended. If she hadn’t died, we’re sure Anakin would still try to keep her at his side, however he could. And after joining and becoming Darth Vader, he still asked about Padme. And it leaves the final moments open to some interpretation, such as, “Why was Tsubaki so willing to join the Dark Side without hesitation?” Even Anakin had quite the buildup to fully trust Palpatine and the powers of the Dark Side. He obeys and accepts Masago as his new master, and he seemingly boards the Star Destroy that’s hovering over the palace with her. ![]() And even when Misa is resurrected, he doesn’t care to be at her side. Masago doesn’t bat an eye over joining the Dark Side. And with her brilliant scheme working, she offered to use the powers of the Dark Side to bring Misa back, if and only if he joined her on the Dark Side. It was purely by accident, as Masago had it arranged so that Misa was disguised as one of her henchmen while he wasn’t looking. After finally reaching the palace and battling Masago, Tsubaki’s emotions ran so high that he ended up killing Misa. That price was ultimately paid, though, when he ended up becoming the own reason for his vision. And, eventually, he must have found out that Misa’s father, the king, was slain by his own sister.īefore going on the journey, a Jedi Master warned Tsubaki of going on this emotionally driven journey, but he did not listen. After getting the vision, he likely went to her first - knowing it was the person he cared about the most. Haunted by a vision of someone dying, it’s the reason why Tsubaki seeks out Misa in the first place. Though, essentially, we see more parallels about Anakin and Padme, especially in the ending of the episode. Fans will also quickly recognize that this mirrors the story of Anakin and Padme as the forbidden tale between Jedi and royalty - though Obi-Wan and the Duchess Satine’s relationship also comes to mind for those who watch The Clone Wars. And so of course, that means the attachment that they form is without a doubt taboo. And as we know, the Jedi are forbidden to form romantic attachments. In “Akakiri,” we see the most important relationship in the episode is that between Tsubaki and Princess Misa. Star Wars: Visions episode 9 ending explained ![]() Here’s what the ending of this ninth and final episode of Star Wars: Visions season 1 is about. ![]() Taking over the throne is the Sith Lord Masago (Lorraine Toussaint), her aunt, and she won’t give up power so easily. That spirit was definitely captured in the episode of Star Wars: Visions entitled “Akakiri.” The episode follows Jedi Tsubaki ( Henry Golding) and princess Misa (Jamie Chung) as they trek back to her castle following her father’s death. No two episodes are alike, and they each tell a separate story that makes viewers look at a galaxy far, far away from a different lens. In the anthology series Star Wars: Visions on Disney+, there are nine highly creative anime shorts that are based on the world of Star Wars. ![]() The bike’s styling is said to be inspired by American muscle cars, and it’s something of a triumph. It also introduces a unique ‘Dual-Zone’ audio system allowing rider and passenger to listen to different sources or make separate phone calls through the same infotainment unit. Add the Transcontinental kit for an additional $2000 and the gadget count rises to include GPS sat-nav that can be connected to your home computer for route-planning, plus satellite radio and even a CB radio. The 7-inch touch screen controls not only the stereo but also the Bluetooth communications, and the trip computer, which even gives tyre pressure readouts. These trinkets range from heated everything – bars, seats and backrests for both rider and pillion – to an electric screen and one of the most comprehensive infotainment systems yet seen on two wheels. Jeff Turner of Yamaha UK tells us there’s no plan to bring the bike here. Whether or not the new version of the engine would pass Euro4 emissions tests remains to be seen. It’s gained a new intake system, ride-by-wire with traction control, cruise control and multiple riding modes, plus a new six-speed gearbox with an overdrive top to allow 75mph cruising with just 2750rpm on the tach. However, the motor has had a serious going-over before being bolted to the new Star Venture. ![]() The bike its engine is based on, the XV1900 cruiser, disappeared from the UK market a couple of years ago and wasn’t Euro4 compatible. Or worse, intentional teaser campaigns drip-feeding info until we’re all thoroughly bored before even seeing the whole bike.īut Yamaha has managed to keep quiet about its new Star Venture and reminded us of the warm thrill of seeing an unexpected new bike launched.Īt the moment, it’s an America-only model. ![]() Leaks, spy-shots or rumours tend to precede them.
