Main article: Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series) Season Four īo-Katan Kryze (voiced by Katee Sackhoff) first appeared in the fourth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, in the episode "A Friend in Need" as the lieutenant of Death Watch, a terrorist group seeking to overthrow the pacifist government of Mandalore, under the leadership of Pre Vizsla (voiced by Jon Favreau). Appearances Bo-Katan Kryze was voiced and later also portrayed in live-action by Katee Sackhoff. When she finally wore the armor for the first time she was overwhelmed and cried with joy. Sackhoff had hoped to play the character in live action but expected that it would be recast with someone more famous such as Scarlett Johansson. Costume designer Shawna Trpcic commissioned sculptor Jose Fernandez and his Ironhead Studios to build Mandalorian armor for Bo-Katan. On November 16, 2019, Sackhoff confirmed that she would portray Bo-Katan in live-action in the then-upcoming second season of The Mandalorian, appearing in " Chapter 11: The Heiress", released on November 13, 2020. She has her faults, and a strong sense of her own self importance, but she understands the Mandalorian warrior culture and over time grows into her role as a leader. Bo-Katan is a warrior at her core, and left the politics of leadership to the diplomats like her sister Duchess Satine Kryze. īo-Katan's name is a mnemonic riff on the words "boogie-cat-Anne" pronounced together, referring to the name of the cat belonging to Filoni's wife, herself named Anne. During the hiatus between the sixth and seventh seasons of The Clone Wars, Bo-Katan appeared in several episodes of Star Wars Rebels, in episodes set fifteen years after the events of The Clone Wars. Due to the series' initial cancellation, and renewal years later, Bo-Katan would not reappear in The Clone Wars until the series' seventh and final season in 2020. Although not originally included in the script for the episode, director Dave Filoni added the character to set up a greater role in the series' fifth season. On January 13, 2012, Bo-Katan Kryze first appeared in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars fourth season episode "A Friend in Need," voiced by Katee Sackhoff. In The Mandalorian, after the Great Purge of Mandalore, she seeks to recover the Darksaber from Moff Gideon and retake her homeworld. In Rebels, Bo-Katan is declared the new ruler of Mandalore. She later allies herself with former Jedi Ahsoka Tano and the Galactic Republic in liberating Mandalore from Darth Maul. She is also the sister of Duchess Satine Kryze, the pacifist ruler of Mandalore, from whom she is estranged due to differences in their politics. In The Clone Wars, Bo-Katan is a member of the Death Watch, a terrorist faction of Mandalorians who wish to restore the ancient warrior ways of their planet, Mandalore. Sackhoff subsequently reprised her role in the sequel series Star Wars Rebels, and made her live-action debut as the character in the second season of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian. She was introduced in the computer-animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, in which she was voiced by Katee Sackhoff. Succeeded by: Moff Gideon (first and second wieldings)īo-Katan Kryze (pronounced / b oʊ k ə ˈ t ɑː n k r iː z/) is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise.The Mandalorian / Din Djarin (second wielding) Preceded by: Sabine Wren (first wielding). ![]() In a departure from the high number of skills present in Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 will focus on quality of skills over quantity and attempt to minimize skill splits across game modes to reduce balancing complexity - one of the most common issues present in MMORPGs. However, unlike Guild Wars, skill slots have predefined roles: the first five are determined by player's weapon and profession, the sixth is for healing, the seventh through ninth will be skills with no defined roles that are unlocked as the game progresses, and the tenth slot will be for an "elite" skill, which is also initially locked. Guild Wars 2, like Guild Wars, uses a skill-based combat system, whereby players must select only 10 skills from a much larger pool, introducing an element of strategy. ![]() The race and profession of the player determines the skills they can access. There is no dedicated healing class as the developers felt that making it necessary for every party to have a healer was restrictive. The professions are divided into armor classes: "scholars" with light armor, "adventurers" with medium armor, and "soldiers" with heavy armor - five of the professions make a reappearance from Guild Wars. The five races are the humans, the charr (introduced in Prophecies), the asura and the norn (introduced in Eye of the North), and the sylvari, a race exclusive to Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars 2 allows a player to create a character from a combination of five races and nine professions. Gameplay Guild Wars 2 features an extensive character creation system that allows the player to fine tune the look of their characters. Additional content for these expansions will then be added through quarterly releases. Instead of releasing every two to four years with a season of Living World in between, smaller scale expansions would be released more frequently at a slightly reduced price. In February 2023, it was announced that future Guild Wars 2 expansions starting with Secrets of the Obscure would be adopting a new release model. Each expansion pack introduces new content, including new regions of the world to explore, end-game encounters and masteries, with the first three also offering new professions, elite specializations, and seasons of 'Living World' live content updates that continue expansion storylines and bridge the gap between them. įour major expansion packs have been released for the game thus far Heart of Thorns (2015), Path of Fire (2017), End of Dragons (2022), and Secrets of the Obscure (2023), with a fifth expansion pack in development, slated for 2024. On 16 August 2022, it was announced that Guild Wars 2 will be releasing on Steam as part of the game's 10th year anniversary celebration. By August 2021, over 16 million accounts have been created. By August 2015, over 5 million copies had been sold, at which point the base game became free-to-play. By August 2013, the peak player concurrency had reached 460,000. The game sold over two million copies in its first two weeks. Also of note is the combat system, which aims to be more dynamic than its predecessor by promoting synergy between professions and using the environment as a weapon, as well as reducing the complexity of the Magic-style skill system of the original game.Īs a sequel to Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 features the same lack of subscription fees that distinguished its predecessor from other commercially developed online games of the time, though until August 2015 a purchase was still required to install the game. A dynamic event system replaces traditional questing, utilising the ripple effect to allow players to approach quests in different ways as part of a persistent world. Guild Wars 2 is the fourth major entry in the Guild Wars series, and claims to be unique in the MMO genre by featuring a storyline that is responsive to player actions, something which is common in single player role-playing games but rarely seen in multiplayer ones. The game takes place in a persistent world with a story that progresses in instanced environments. Set in the fantasy world of Tyria, the core game follows the re-emergence of Destiny's Edge, a disbanded guild dedicated to fighting Elder Dragons, colossal Lovecraftian-esque entities that have seized control of Tyria in the time since the original Guild Wars (2005), a plot line that was concluded in the latest expansion Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the obscure'' (2023). ![]() Guild Wars 2 is a free-to-play, massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by ArenaNet and published by NCSoft. ![]() Sugar – (1930) a common play on something sweet ‘sugar’ has been used figuratively in many iterations, some of which will be listed later Romantic Couple Nicknames.Acushla – (1825) from the Irish Gaelic, a chuisle for “heartbeat” or mo chisle “my heartbeat.”.Frisco – (1652) this pseudo-Italian nickname comes from “frisk,” a quick dance movement it also recalls “frisky,” when someone gets fresh and puts the moves on.Old Thing – (1625) refers not necessary to old age, but of the lifetime you have spent or hope to spend with your partner.Bawcock – (1601) a term used between men to mean “fine fellow” or “my good man” from the French phrase beau coq “fine cock.”.Mopsy – (1582) from ‘mop’ meaning “fool,” as in we are all fools in love it is usually given to young women or those small in stature you may not want to use this term now as it can mean a dowdy or unkempt woman in the UK.Honeysop – (1405) another play on sweetness, literally meaning a piece of bread dripping with honey.Cinnamon – (1405) the spice of life comes from Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales”: ‘My faire bryd, my swete cynamome.’.Poppet – (1390) usually used for a dainty or small person.Dove – (1386) like the bird, this term is usually for a young, innocent woman.What did that 19th Century cad call the Lady of Manners?

I just have to be better and play 60 minutes of premium football." Said Newton: "Nobody is feeling sorry for me, and I'm not feeling sorry for myself. Coach Bill Belichick said he's sticking with Newton as his starter. Newton will have a chance to redeem himself next week in a road game against the New York Jets on ESPN's Monday Night Football. ![]() ![]() When you don't get the results you want, then what do you do?" Outside of this last play, I think that is what makes it so frustrating, being that you are trying extremely hard. "Coach preaches each and every day to protect the football, play smart football. "I usually always change it around with my right hand, just for comfort. Prior to me putting the ball in my left hand, which is my weakest arm, I just felt more comfortable with the ball in my right hand," Newton explained. "That situation, game on the line, I'm dominantly right-handed. Newton ran toward the left sideline, but kept the ball in his right hand, which helped give Zimmer a better chance to jar it free as he pursued Newton from the middle of the field. "It's extremely frustrating, but this league is not what have you done for us, but what have you done lately? I understand this is a production-based league." I just have to do a better job protecting it," he said after the Patriots dropped to 2-5 with a fourth consecutive loss. Coach trusts me with the ball in his hand and I wouldn't want it any other way. "I am still jeopardizing this team's success because of my lackluster performance of protecting the football. It was his only turnover, but a most costly one, coming after a week during which he harped on taking better care of the ball following a three-interception performance in a blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Newton had the ball stripped away by Bills defensive tackle Justin Zimmer at the Buffalo 14-yard line with 31 seconds to play. I know that has just been kind of like a broken record of late," Newton said. Buffalo Bills 'unacceptable'ĭejected New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton called his fumble late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-21 road loss to the Buffalo Bills "unacceptable," as it cost the team a chance at a game-tying field goal and possibly a chance to win. He came out with a familiar-looking hat, but the shades and face mask kept him under-the-radar.

Had the game gone to overtime, much of the momentum would have been with the Patriots. Safety Dean Marlowe then scooped up the ball with 30 seconds left and Buffalo iced the game from there. On a carry to the left side of the field where the Pats ran a couple of rushes in a row, Zimmer tackled Newton from behind and knocked the ball out, forcing a fumble. As time was expiring, Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was leading a drive that appeared destined to end with points, but then the defensive tackle knocked the ball and game out of Newton’s hand. In a game that was much closer than it needed to be, Zimmer cemented his place on the Bills roster for awhile.

![]() No powerful companies were immune from the scrutiny of Chinese regulators. Around the same time, the top Communist Party official at China’s central bank said the so-called rectification campaign into the biggest technology companies was “ basically complete.”įrankly, Alibaba Group was not alone. Then came January this year when Ant Group said Ma had planned to relinquish company control. The spectacle cost the Alibaba Group US$2.8 billion in fines for “abusing its dominance,” and the IPO plan was shelved for good. Instead, regulators forced Ant to register as a financial holding company and separate its payment app from its financial services. Jack Ma Speech at The Bund 2020 in Shanghaiįollowing Ma’s remarks, Chinese officials suspended Ant Group’s plans for a blockbuster initial public offering. ![]() It all started after Ma criticized Chinese regulators in 2020 for stifling innovation at Ant Group, Alibaba’s financial technology sister company. That is also how long Alibaba’s billionaire founder, Jack Ma, has been gone from the public eye. ![]() It was only recently that the Chinese government started relaxing its regulatory stronghold on the technology sector after a tumultuous three years. Does this mark the end of Alibaba’s defiance? Perhaps that’s why Taobao Tmall Commerce Group will be the only one to remain a wholly owned Alibaba entity. None of the teams would be evenly matched in size or business scope.įor context, nearly 70% of Alibaba’s 170 billion yuan (US$24.7 billion) in third-quarter revenue came from the world’s largest e-commerce platforms, mostly Taobao and Tmall Marketplace. According to the letter, one refers to the group, six refers to the six business units, and N refers to future business units. The objectives of the overhaul are to streamline the management and shorten the decision-making process based on the plan in the letter.Īccording to a South China Morning Post report, a media entity owned by Alibaba, the group will also set up corporate entities for other operations following a “1+6+N” structure. “This transformation will empower all our businesses to become more agile, enhance decision-making, and enable faster responses to market changes,” Zhang said. He, however, will devolve all operational decisions, including hiring and firing, research, profit, and losses, to the CEOs of each business unit, according to his letter to the company’s employees. Zhang also shared that he will serve as chief executive of the Cloud Intelligence Group, the company’s cloud computing and artificial intelligence division, on top of being the head of the holding company. All six business units will be set up with their boards of directors. The restructuring will also help them capture the wave of new technologies … Technological updates and product iterations will be fast,” Zhang said in his letter. “If the subsidiaries can focus on their businesses, it will help them to be more professional in their services. To Alibaba, the agility, responsiveness, and innovativeness of a company with 200,000 employees are “severely restricted.” The fact that the most significant breakthroughs today have come from start-ups and small companies with a few hundred staff is proof of the new tendency in the technological world, Alibaba said. Once dismantled, each unit will be free to seek fundraising avenues through initial public offerings (IPOs). The letter, written by Daniel Zhang, Alibaba’s chief executive, stated that the holding company structure made sense for Alibaba because the natures of the six business groups were different, with various stages of development and disparate needs. In a letter to employees on Tuesday, Alibaba said it would reorganize its group of businesses into six independently run entities, namely Cloud Intelligence Group, e-commerce under Taobao-Tmall, Cainiao’s smart logistics operations, Local Services group, Global Digital Business Group, and the Digital Media and Entertainment Group. This week, the sprawling US$257 billion empire announced that it plans to split itself into six independently run entities to shorten its decision-making process, effectively dismantling Jack Ma’s empire.
