Everything's on fire!
Yesterday was pretty crazy. In the morning, there was a fire at RHA. Not in the Clubhouse, where I work, but up in one of the residences. I was sitting in the Clubhouse when I saw no less than eight firetrucks enter through the front gate and hightail it toward the fire. I walked a little bit up the main road until I could see the column of smoke from the fire, but I couldn't leave the Clubhouse for very long so I didn't see the actual burnt out building. The resident who rents the place made it out safely, which is good. (I bet the owner's gonna be PISSED though.) As of right now, the cause of the fire is unknown, but it is quite the event in sleepy little RHA so everyone's talking about it.
little_lies (Bandaid) turns 25 next month, and her boyfriend arranged for kerotab , kittenpie22 and I to meet her for a surprise party. We drove up to San Mateo, where she lives, to meet them at a Red Robin. (Apparently Red Robin have a girl whose sole responsibility is to open and close the door. I would expect this at a fancy restaurant, but Red Robin is family dining. Restaurants with meals less than $10 don't need doormen. Doorwomen. Whatever.) We didn't want to get a table so we sorta half-hid behind a plant and waited for Bandaid show up. The staff probably thought we were nuts. After she showed up and we were all like "Surprise!" her boyfriend left his credit card and took off. I had thought he'd stay for dinner, but Bandaid said he was probably super-excited to have the computer/TV to himself so he could play his video games.
OK, folks. NEVER look at the Nutrition Information at Red Robin. It's waaaaaaaaaaay too depressing. My hamburger was over 1000 calories! (OK, it was a Bacon CheeseFatsoburger, but it was far from the only 1000+ item on the menu.) That does not include drinks and fries. No wonder I felt full after eating less than half of it!
I'll never feel guilty for not finishing a meal at a restaurant again!
After dinner we shopped at Old Navy for a bit, mostly to stretch our legs and get Bandaid a pair of socks, since we were going bowling. Kitty ended up buying some clothes. We also popped into Bed, Bath and Beyond so we could molest every fuzzy blanket and suede curtain in the store. I'd love to go on a big fat spending spree and get a new fall wardrobe, but until I've bought my textbooks unnecessary spending is off-limits.
Bowling was fun, but I need to hit the weights. The lightest ball we could find was a 10 lb. pink monster, and after a few rounds my wrist was aching. I think it was too heavy? I could have been throwing it wrong, I suppose, but when an 8 lb. ball became available an hour later I was fine so I'm just a huge weakling. Kitty used to bowl quite regularly, so she's usually pretty good, but she hasn't had time lately and her game's deteriorated a bit. I think she won the second game, and Kero won the first? Not sure.

ABBEY (Lat. abbatia; from Syr. abba, father), a monastery, or conventual establishment, under the government of an abbot or an abbess. A priory only differed from an abbey in that the superior bore the name of prior instead of abbot. This was the case in all the English conventual cathedrals, e.g. Canterbury, Ely, Norwich, &c., where the archbishop or bishop occupied the abbot's place, the superior of the monastery being termed prior, Other priories were originally offshoots from the larger abbeys, to the abbots of which they continued subordinate; but in later times the actual distinction between abbeys and priories was lost.
The earliest Christian monastic communities (see Monasticism) with which we are acquainted consisted of groups of cells or huts collected about a common centre, which was usually the abode of some anchorite celebrated for superior holiness or singular asceticism, but without any attempt at orderly arrangement. The formation of such communities in the East does not date from the introduction of Christianity. The example had been already set by the Essenes in Iudea and the Therapeutae in Egypt.
In the earliest age of Christian monasticism the ascetics were accustomed to live singly, independent of one another, at no great distance from some village, supporting themselves by the labour of their own hands, and distributing the surplus after the supply of their own scanty wants to the poor. Increasing religious fervour, aided by persecution, drove them farther and farther away from the abodes of men into mountain solitudes or lonely deserts. The deserts of Egypt swarmed with the "cells" or huts of these anchorites. Anthony, who had retired to the Egyptian Thebaid during the persecution of Maximin, A.D. 312, was the most celebrated among them for his austerities, his sanctity, and his power as an exorcist. His fame collected round him a host of followers, emulous of his sanctity. The deeper he withdrew into the wilderness, the more numerous his disciples became. They refused to be separated from him, and built their cells round that of their spiritual father. Thus arose the first monastic community, consisting of anchorites living each in his own little dwelling, united together under one superior. Anthony, as Neander remarks (Church History, vol. iii. p. 316, Clark's trans.), "without any conscious design of his own, had become the founder of a new mode of living in common, Coenobitism." By degrees order was introduced in the groups of huts. They were arranged in lines like the tents in an encampment, or the houses in a street. From this arrangement these lines of single cells came to be known as Laurae, Λαὒραι, "streets" or "lanes."
The real founder of coenobian (κοινός, common, and βίος, life) monasteries in the modern sense was Pachomius, an Egyptian of the beginning of the 4th century. The first community established by him was at Tabennae, an island of the Nile in Upper Egypt. Eight others were founded in his lifetime, numbering 3000 monks. Within fifty years from his death his societies could reckon 50,000 members. These coencbia resembled villages, peopled by a hard-working religious community, all of one sex. The buildings were detached, small and of the humblest character. Each cell or hut, according to Sozomen (H.E. iii. 14), contained three monks. They took their chief meal in a common refectory at 3 p.m., up to which hour they usually fasted. They ate in silence, with hoods so drawn over their faces that they could see nothing but what was on the table before them. The monks spent all the time, not devoted to religious services or study, in manual labour. Palladius, who visited the Egyptian monasteries about the close of the 4th century, found among the 300 members of the coenobium of Panopolis, under the Pachomian rule, 15 tailors, 7 smiths, 4 carpenters, 12 camel-drivers and 15 tanners. Each separate community had its own oeconomus or steward, who was subject to a chief oeconomus stationed at the head establishment. All the produce of the monks' labour was committed to him, and by him shipped to Alexandria. The money raised by the sale was expended in the purchase of stores for the support of the communities, and what was over was devoted to charity. Twice in the year the superiors of the several coenobia met at the chief monastery, under the presidency of an archimandrite ("the chief of the fold", from μάνδρα, a fold), and at the last meeting gave in reports of their administration for the year. The coenobia of Syria belonged to the Pachomian institution. We learn many details concerning those in the vicinity of Antioch from Chrysostom's writings. The monks lived in separate huts, καλύβια, forming a religious hamlet on the mountain side. They were subject to an abbot, and observed a common rule. (They had no refectory, but ate their common meal, of bread and water only, when the day's labour was over, reclining on strewn grass, sometimes out of doors.) Four times in the day they joined in prayers and psalms.

The Minnesotans for Paid Family & Medical Leave Coalition supports a state-administered paid leave insurance program, where everyone contributes and everyone benefits. Paid Family & Medical Leave is different than paid sick days which would allow workers to earn sick days for minor illness of themselves or family members (which is not yet required of all employers in Minnesota).
Provide up to 12 weeks of partial wage replacement for medical leave (including pregnancy), so Minnesotans can take care of themselves.
Provide up to12 weeks partial wage replacement for family leave, so Minnesotans can take care of themselves and their families.
Replace wages on a progressive scale at 90%-55% of an employee's salary (66% on average), while protecting job and healthcare benefits, so Minnesotans can experience economic security during their leave.
Keep costs low for all by creating a large statewide risk pool and equally share costs between employers and employees, with both contributing 0.31% on employee earnings. For a median worker and their employer, this costs less than $2 per week.
Build on Minnesota's leading Unemployment Insurance administration under the Department of Employment and Economic Development, to ensure program stability for employees, employers, and the state.
Take action to help us pass paid family and medical leave in 2019!

A chance to learn and develop new skills, being given opportunity to use those skills, and being valued appropriately.
I'm sure I've overlooked some things. What do you think is important?
Having considered all that, it is sobering to realise that for probably millions of people, workplace choice isn't even an option – they just do what they can to survive. I am conscious of the privilege I have had in where and how I was brought up, the education I was given and the opportunities that have been presented to me.
There are times when you will have to use older versions – especially if that's what a particular client is still using, but hopefully this is the exception rather than the norm.
This is something that Rob has also expressed, in that I hope to leave a client better off than when I first came. At least one of better code, better performance, better processes, better practices, better maintainability, better sense of humour.. you get the idea.
It shouldn't be a drama to get access to decent hardware and software. When you consider how much per hour you're being paid, anything that can reasonably be done to remove impediments to your productivity should be followed up.
It shouldn't be a problem to provide a friendly, safe, healthy environment. I've worked in places that provide basic tea/coffee/milk facilities, and also in some where they think they're saving money by making the employees provide their own. I think that's a false economy – the value of better moral surely outweighs the insignificant cost. If you're lucky, throw in some bickies (cream assorted would be nice!), or one of those fancy coffee machines.
On the other hand, if you have those things and then management takes them away – don't expect any productivity improvements!
You don't realise how useful flexible hours are until you have kids. Not everyone lives close to their place of work, so the option of working from home, or doing that extra work at home instead of the office means you're more likely to be around home – just so the kids and spouse remember you live there too!
Finally, the physical location of your team is also important. Having a space where all your team can sit in close proximity really helps with communication, team identity, and ideally reduces outside interruptions.. There are few things more distracting than a non-team co-worker with a particularly loud, carrying voice - especially in a large open-plan office.
Martin Fowler posted recently on his thoughts on the ideal team room.
As Rob said, I want my manager to "go into bat for me". They should be my advocate, saying "Dave, what can I do to help you do your job?". They're off dealing with all the other stuff so that you can get on with your job.
Likewise I think you want a manager that keeps you informed of things that are relevant, so that you aren't left out of the loop.
I mention "Honesty and courage" in that they need to have the guts to tell the "big" bosses the truth. The last thing you need is the CEO being told "everything is fine, yes we'll make the deadline" if that's not correct – everyone loses when that happens.
Continuing my thoughts on what makes a great workplace..
Whilst there are always times when you can't avoid some tedious or annoying tasks, for the most part I want to be working on stuff that I find engaging.
I've also found that there's nothing like working on something that is appreciated by the end users.
It's been a few years since I've been able to update the Vista Sidebar Gadget that I wrote which displays the radar images from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. It's worth noting that while the sidebar doesn't exist in Windows 7, you can still add gadgets to your desktop.
I've had a few reports of a memory leak when people run the gadget for extended periods of time. I think this may be an unfortunate side-effect of the way the gadget uses HTML. Maybe re-writing the gadget using WPF or Silverlight might help with that.
The gadget can be downloaded from the Windows Live Gallery from here (currently 1.1 but hopefully 1.2 will be approved shortly), or go to the Downloads page of the Google Code site.
Not everyone gets to work somewhere like Fog Creek, Google, Microsoft or even LobsterPot Solutions. I thought I'd take Rob's lead and write down some of the things that come to mind when I think of the characteristics of my ideal work life. It ended up a bit longer than I was expecting so I've broken it up into multiple posts.
My best work experiences have always coincided with being part of a great team. I don't remember too many people that I've worked with that I haven't got along with well. I also discovered that you can learn a lot from older, wiser colleagues – sometimes they're in the best position to realise that the latest trend or fad is just a variation of something that's been around before.
Having complimentary skills is also really valuable. You can learn from each other, but also you can bring new perspectives to particular problems that otherwise may not have been considered.

Longford District Court: Suspended sentence for damaging clothes
Damaged clothes in Heaton's
A woman who appeared at last week's sitting of Longford District Court charged with criminal damage was sentenced to three months in prison, which the judge subsequently suspended.
Rose McDonagh (35), Halting Site, Harristown, Castlerea, Co Roscommon appeared before Judge Seamus Hughes charged with damaging two kids' jumpers; two ladies' jumpers and a ladies' jacket - value €110 - at Heaton's, Ballymahon Street, Longford on November 11, 2015.
Outlining the evidence to the court Superintendent Fergus Treanor said that on the date of the incident, the defendant entered the store, picked up a few items and proceeded to take the tags from the clothing.
He then said that Ms McDonagh may have realised that she was being watched, because she threw down the clothes and attempted to leave the area.
"It appears then that she may have seen that she was being observed because she left the clothes down and moved away," the Superintendent continued.
"The clothes were then discovered damaged by staff."
In mitigation, the defendant's solicitor Frank Gearty said his client had experienced "a most disastrous visit to Longford" on the occasion.
"She came up on a trip and ended up getting into very serious trouble," he added.
Judge Hughes then asked how many previous convictions the defendant had and he was told 51.
"They are mainly for road traffic offences," added Superintendent Treanor who provided the requested details to Judge Hughes.
"Eight of them are for theft."
It then emerged that the defendant had been caught stealing in Dublin on a previous occasion and when the Judge asked her what it was that she stole, she said she couldn't remember.
It was also brought to Judge Hughes's attention that Ms McDonagh had spent time in prison.
"You are a prolific thief that seems to be only getting caught a percentage of the time," Judge Hughes fumed.
In mitigation, the defendant's solicitor Frank Gearty said his client had three children aged 15, 12 and 10 years.
"All these children go to school and have good attendance records," Mr Gearty continued.
"Her sister took care of the children when she spent time in prison - she was there for six weeks in total - and Ms McDonagh is someone who is trying to do her best."
During his deliberations on the matter Judge Hughes said he never wanted to see the defendant in front of him again.
Upon her conviction the Judge handed down a three month suspended prison sentence and also fined her €200 in respect of the matter.

Poems To Lisi
Original Spanish text with parallel-text English verse translation
By Francisco de Quevedo Edited by D. Gareth Walters Translated by D. Gareth Walters
PDF, 192 pages £20.00
Subjects: European Literature, European Studies
Series: Exeter Hispanic Texts
Poems to Lisi is presented here as an undergraduate student text with parallel-text English verse translations
This edition of Quevedo's Poems to Lisi is a successor to the same editor's original text in Exeter Hispanic Texts, which only contained the Spanish text of the poems (published in 1988). Rather than reprint that edition, the editor has chosen to make the text more widely available by setting his own English verse translations alongside the Spanish originals. It is intended to provide undergraduates in Hispanic Studies with an accessible edition of a key work of the Spanish Golden Age. The translations are close enough to the originals to be of value to those who have an adequate knowledge of Spanish, while the rendering of the poems into English verse (mainly blank verse sonnets) will enable those lacking such a knowledge to read them as poems in their own right.
'Overall, the introduction, parallel-text translations and the anthology of critical views about Quevedo's love poetry which concludes the volume provide the modern student with a very helpful aid in understanding and enjoying Quevedo's amatory poems.'
(Bulletin of Spanish Studies, University of Glasgow, Volume LXXXVI, No 1, 2009)
D. Gareth Walters is Professor of Hispanic Studies at Swansea University. His publications include Francisco de Quevedo, Love Poet (1985); Canciones and the Early Poetry of Lorca (2002); The Cambridge Introduction to Spanish Poetry: Spain and Spanish America (2002).

Roman Foot-Lamps
July 23, 2019 in History, Uncategorized | Tags: ancient, bronze, foot, lamps, oil, pottery, Roman, shape | by Wayne | 6 comments
I am extremely sorry that my posts have been so thin on the ground for the last fortnight. I don't have very good excuses for last week (although maybe the brain-melting heat wave which swept through the region provides some cover), but last night there was a blackout in Brooklyn, and there was no way I could write anything in the digital realm! Being cast back in time made me reflect on the world before the internet and electricity. Specifically I became fascinated by non-electrical lamps (which you never really think about until you need them).
Although I filled up my darkened house with LED tea candles and glowsticks, other peoples have not always had recourse to such safe options–like the Romans, who were forced to rely on candles, fires, torches, and their favorite night time standby, the oil lamp. Ferrebeekeeper has touched on how the symbols and visual culture of Ancient Rome do not always make sense to us today…and indeed today's post offers a powerful example of that. Oil lamps came in all sorts of shapes and sizes (some of them seem to have been commemorative, or tourist trap items), but one of the absolute favorite lamp shapes was a foot. These oil foot-lamps were sometimes bare and sometimes super ornate, but most often they are wearing handsome sandals.
So, why are these things shaped like feet? Trying to research this question on Google resulted in me being whisked to various strange theological explanations of the Book of Romans by Dr. Lightfoot! I was hoping that this was the foot of Mercury or something, but I never did get to the bottom of what is going on. Speaking of which, the best hint I got was that the lamps may have been placed at the bottom of a mural so that the painting glittered in the darkness…which is to say these were the original and literal footlights. This makes no sense to me, but it is sort of a modern English pun, I guess. Perhaps it was a pun or a satisfying visual cue to the Romans as well.
Roman Foot Lamp with Sphinx Handle (Excavated in Libya, manufactured ca.1st century AD) Pottery
Whatever the case is, I love the feet! These lamps are truly satisfying to look at, so maybe the Romans were on to something (they got roads and aqueducts right, after all). If anybody wants to make a new old-style lamp company I am opened to that. Also, if there are any classics majors out there who could explain this, please help us out in the comments! I am unhappy with the "footlight" explanation and I long for a real understanding of what is going on with these charming feet!

A New Crop of Turkeys
November 20, 2017 in Farm, Fowl, Humor, Opinion, Trees, turkeys, Uncategorized | Tags: bronze, endearing, hen, Ohio, Pets, Tom, turkeys, Wayne Ferrebee | by Wayne | 3 comments
Okay! I haven't been writing about turkeys as much as I should and Thanksgiving is on THURSDAY! Where did the year go? Fortunately, I still have some pictures left over from my trip home to my parents' farm back in September. I have written about the geese and the renegade bourbon turkeys of the past, but this year my parents were passing by the grain store and there were poults for sale. So now there is a whole new crop of turkeys running around again (which is good because they are my favorite barnyard creatures). Here are some turkey photos and I show up in them too (both because of the shameful personal vanity which characterizes this era and because the lens on the front of my camera is cracked after an incident with some buttery fingers and an online fruit pie recipe).
If you are curious what breed of turkeys these guys are, they are putatively broad-breasted bronze, but they don't really look like the broad breasted bronze turkeys of my youth. They are all lanky and tall! These turkeys are pretty endearing and always come over to quizzically see what people are up to, but don't be fooled–they are not completely domesticated and they are always getting in trouble. Lately they have taken to escaping the poultry yard by walking way back into the woods where there is no fence and then coming back around the outside of the fence so they can stand in the road. It isn't a completely stupid strategy since there are all sorts of fat grasshoppers and suchlike tasty bus by the road, but people drive fast and carelessly and it takes a big bird some time to get off the ground.
I don't think my parents have any plans to eat these noble fowl as part of annual giving-of-thanks ritual sacrifice. These are lucky ornamental (or pet?) turkeys, but they are flagrantly transgressing against America's love affair with motor carriages, open roadways, and unsafe speeds. So maybe the turkeys are walking up the great pyramid towards sacrifice even if they are spared from the platter. Hopefully they can learn road safety before it is too late, because I really like them. Look at those droll facial expressions!

October 10, 2017 in Art, Farm, Fowl, History, Uncategorized | Tags: bronze, Deccan, elegant, ewer, goose, Indian, lovely, Mogul | by Wayne | 2 comments
In the past we have looked at Chinese goose ewers: here is a lovely vessel from a very different tradition–this gander-shaped vessel was made in Northern India during the Mogul Dynasty (ca. 16th century). Look at the elegant sinuous curve of the striding bird and the reptilian grace of the piece. The bird has a bit of the goose's comic personality mixed in with the striking powerful feel of the whole piece.
Two Statues of Balzac by Rodin
August 25, 2017 in Art, Opinion, Politics, Uncategorized | Tags: Balzac, bronze, Charlottesville, controversial, covered, Lee, nineteenth century, Rodin, Scullpture | by Wayne | 1 comment
I wanted to quickly write about a great piece of art from the 19th century (or really two great pieces). When Honoré de Balzac died, the city fathers (or the Second Empire…or someone) commissioned a great bronze statue of the (in)famous realist. Balzac was renowned for his larger-than-life personality and for his exuberant personal life. The commissioners of the sculpture found an equally over-the-top realist sculptor to make the statue, Auguste Rodin. Rodin tracked down every daguerreotype and drawing of Balzac. He interviewed Balzac's mistresses and intimates and went to Balzac's tailor for exact measurements. He took casts from Balzac's death mask and did everything but exhume his corpse (presuming he didn't do that in secret). Then Rodin made a brash sculpture of the great novelist standing nude, with his legs apart and his arms crossed, brooding upon the human comedy.
The patrons who commissioned the sculpture were predictably aghast (although I like to think Balzac would have been amused–and flatterd by his muscular torso). They demanded that Rodin redo the whole thing–this time properly clothed. Rodin went into a huge huff and he threw a great cowled cloak over the statue (which only showed a tiny portion of Balzac's brooding countenance). That was that: it was thereafter impossible to get him to work further upon the project. Nobody was satisfied…but the publicity from the controversy made all parties more famous and rebounds down to this day.
Astonishingly, and somewhat improbably, we are having a great national debate in the United States over nineteenth (and early twentieth) century sculptures (I will write more about that shortly). Eventually, inevitably, the turgid bronzes of rebels, slavers, and secessionists will be taken down or moved (like "The Triumph of Civic Virtue"). However right now they are in limbo. The most controversial of all, the statue of Lee in Charlottesville has had a great tarp cast over it (which improves it no end, to my mind). Seeing gawkers pointing at the plastic cocoon upon a plinth brought a smile to my face and reminded me of Balzac's statue and all of the trouble that public art causes.
The Karađorđević crown
January 28, 2016 in Crowns, History, Opinion, Uncategorized | Tags: bronze, crown, double-headed eagle, Karađorđević, King, Monarchy, Peter, Serb, Serbian | by Wayne | 4 comments
I write about crowns to highlight the multitudinous absurd stories of history. The bizarre tales of treachery and murder and greed through which these fancy hats change heads (and ultimately wind up melted down or gathering dust in museums) lay bare the machinations of power and reveal the intricate vicissitudes of fate which bind cultures and people together over the long centuries. I, uh, also write about crowns when it has been a long day at work, and I can't think of anything to write about. Each one is like a little pre-made soap-opera tale from world history…or so it has been for many years. But I have been writing for a long time, and I am now getting down to some real scrub crowns, like today's specimen: the Karađorđević crown, which was made for the coronation of King Peter of Serbia in 1904.
Serbia lies at the crossroads of the Eastern and Southern Europe (and of the Balkans, Central Europe, and Asia Minor). Many Serbian kingdom states and empires rose and fell. For centuries, Serbia was part of the Ottoman Empire. King Peter had been educated in Western Europe. He came to the throne as a liberal reformer who believed in a parliamentary monarchy. This combination of a ragged history and a humane king, meant that money was not lavished on the crown, which was made of bronze by a Parisian jeweler.
The most remarkable aspects of the crown are the big melting two-headed eagles (white two-headed eagles have been the heraldic symbol of Serbia since the Byzantine dynasty) interspersed with aqua colored flowers (fleur-de-lis?). Additionally, this is a crown with smaller crowns on it. Each of the two headed eagles is somehow wearing a single crown—which are jewel-like ornaments on the larger crown. All of this sounds like I am having a Biblical epiphany or a hallucinogenic stroke. Just look at the crown up there at the top.
Sadly Serbia's historical turmoil soon reasserted itself after the brief era of Peter. The First and Second World Wars occurred and Serbia wound up on the wrong side of the iron curtain. However, the Karađorđević crown somehow endured and today it is the only historical crown kept in the Serbian Republic (in a museum, gathering dust). It may not be as ancient or valuable as other crowns, but its cool appearance and heavy-metal eagles have ensured its continued low-grade success as an object of interest.
The Mysterious Bronze Heads of Sanxingdui

Large bronze head (Sanxingdui, Circa 1300-1200 BC, cast bronze)
The traditional narrative of Chinese civilization is that the Han people (who originated on the fertile central plains around the Yellow River) invented cities, writing, advanced agriculture, bronzework, and Chinese civilization in general. The first great era of Han Chinese civilization was the Shang "dynasty" which lasted from 1600 BC to 1046 BC (although stories persist of an earlier—perhaps mythical—Xia dynasty). After the Shang age, the superior Han gradually spread through all of China incorporating lesser peoples into their greater hegemony (which endures to this day as the mighty nation we call China). This narrative was called into question in 1986 when workers at the Lanxing Second Brick Factory in Sichuan discovered an ancient pit full of exceedingly weird and magnificent bronze statues.
Archaeologists flocked to the site and began researching the civilization which was behind these strange works or art. It became apparent that the bronzeworks came from a culture which was contemporary to Shang dynasty China, but which was not directly connected. These ancient people are known as the Sanxingdui culture. They flourished in the Sichuan region, but, aside from the self-evident fact that they were gifted bronze artists, very little is known about the. Archaeologists speculate that the Sanxingdui people lived unified under a strong centralized theocracy in a walled city; also some Chinese scholars identify the Sanxingdui with the Shu kingdom (which is mentioned occasionally in extremely ancient Shang-era sources). I would love to tell you more, but since the Sanxingdui left no recorded history, that is virtually all we know about the creators of these exquisite bug-eyed sculptures and masks. It is believed that some natural disaster or invasion wiped out their city-state and the survivors became integrated with the Ba culture which were in turn swallowed up by the Chin Empire.

Whatever the truth about them, they made amazing art. In addition to the huge alien faces, animals such as snakes, fish, and birds abound in Sanxingdui artwork—as do zoomorphic combination animals and fantasy creatures like dragons. Practical items such as axes and chariot wheels were also found. Naturally there is a vocal minority out there who insist that Sanxingdui culture was influenced by aliens, Atlantis, or whatever other supernatural entity du jour is selling books, but to find out more about them, we are going to have to wait for more discoveries.

A digital reconstruction of the Original Serpent Column (Greek, ca. 478 BC, bronze)
The Serpent Column is a stunning work of ancient Greek sculpture which is two and a half millennia old. It was cast in the early fifth century to commemorate the Greek victories at Plataea and Mycale which effectively ended the threat of Persian annexation. According to Herodotus, the column was made from the melted bronze armor and weapons of the defeated Persian army. It was set in front of the great oracle at Delphos to forever commemorate the power of Greek arms and to commemorate the 31 Greek city states which joined together to oppose the mighty Persian war machine. In its original form the 8 meter (26 foot tall) column consisted of three mighty snakes coiled together. On top of their bronze heads was a sacrificial tripod made of solid gold. During the Third Sacred War (356 BC–346 BC), the Phocian general, Philomelus, plundered the golden tripod and used the gold to pay for mercenaries (an act which was regarded as deepest sacrilege by the Greeks).
The last known serpent head missing the jaw (Greek, ca. 378 BC, Bronze)
When Constantine the Great declared Christianity to be the state religion of the Empire and moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Constantinople, he ordered that the column be removed from Delphos and relocated in the new capital city. The Serpent Column was placed at the center of the city's great Hippodrome (chariot-racing track) among other famous statues of gods, kings, and heroes. Eventually the column was converted into a magnificent fountain and the missing gold tripod was replaced with a huge golden bowl. During the misbegotten fourth Crusade, when excommunicated French knights sacked Byzantium as they tried to get to Cairo, the gold bowl was carried off.
An Ottoman Miniature Painting of the Column
Sometime in the seventeenth century the three serpent heads which had topped the column for countless centuries fell off. Some sources contend that they were removed by an extremely drunken Polish ambassador, but more reliable Ottoman sources assert that they simply toppled off the statue. One serpent head still remains in existence in a Turkish museum. The column itself is still where it has been since the time of Constantine the Great, although the Hippodrome is largely gone and has been replaced by a square named Sultanahmet Meydani.

Ancient Bronze Fang Ding with Taotie Marks
March 3, 2014 in Art, China, Uncategorized | Tags: bronze, Chinese, ding, 饕餮, face, fang, glutinous, ogre, shaman, taotie, transcendental, Zhou | by Wayne | 1 comment
Fang Ding (ca. 1100-1000 BC, cast bronze)
Here is a bronze ceremonial vessel called a fang ding from China's Western Zhou period. The vessel dates from the eleventh or tenth century BC—so it is probably from Shanxi or Shaanxi (which are the modern provinces located where the Zhou culture began). The ding was used for ceremonial food offerings, but it was also a status object which represented power and authority over the land. It is covered with an enigmatic pattern known as a taotie, the true nature of which has perplexed and intrigued experts in Chinese art for centuries (or even millennia). Most scholars believe that the markings are a stylized face—possibly the countenance of strange spirit beings encountered on shamanistic spirit journeys. According to anthropologists there are extant hunter-gathering cultures which participate in such transcendental rituals—and craft similarly stylized faces (so I'm not making all this up—however anthropologists might be). The Chinese term for the decorative faces (or whatever they are) is 饕餮 which apparently translates as "glutinous ogre" which seems like a very poetic and apt name for the weird powerful designs.
A different view of the same ding
During the Shang dynasty (which preceded the Zhou period) the analogous ceremonial vessel was a wine container, but the founding king of Zhou was a strict moralist who believed the Shang had declined due to drunkenness and inebriation. Perhaps some of the shamanistic overtones of the bronze vessels vanished as the authorities reinvented dings as a symbol of authority rather than a portal to an altered state!

Bronze Goose Zun (Western Zhou Dynasty, Photo by geraldm1)
Today Ferrebeekeeper travels far back in time across the long shadowy ages to the Western Zhou dynasty to feature this goose-shaped bronze zun (a ceremonial wine vessel). The Western Zhou dynasty lasted from 1046–771 BCE and was marked by the widespread use of iron tools and the evolution of Chinese script from its archaic to its modern form. Excavated in Lingyuan, Liaoning Province in 1955 this goose vessel is now held at the National Museum of China. I like the goose's neutral expression and serrated bill!

The Bailey Fountain (beautifully photographed with the arch behind it by Wally Gobetz)
I love fountains and my home, New York City, is an excellent place to witness all manner of lovely ornamental waterworks. No doubt other bloggers have extolled Manhattan's many famous fountains, so I thought I would briefly write about my favorite fountain in Brooklyn, the Bailey Fountain, which is located at Grand Army Plaza at the north end of Prospect Park. The fountain lies beyond the huge triumphal arch which celebrates the victorious conclusion of the American Civil War. Both fountain and arch lie on a traffic island surrounded at all times by dangerous rivers of vehicles.
Wisdom and Felicity form the Bailey Fountain (another fine photo by Wally Gobetz)
The Bailey Fountain was conceived of during the late nineteen twenties but it was built in 1932. The tension between these two very different eras is noticeable in the ferocity and severity of the classical figures. The fountain seems to be an allegory of abundance however the individual figures look like they instead portray greed, abandon, and resignation. The fountain is the work of architect Edgerton Swarthout and the bronze sculptures were crafted by Eugene Savage. I think the final work might transcend what either had initially intended.
The Bailey Fountain (photo from "Tugster: a Waterblog")
Bailey fountain portrays a pair of magnificent bronze nudes standing on the deck of a ship. The two respectively represent wisdom and felicity. I assume the man is wisdom and the woman is felicity, but it is not easy to tell because she does not look happy and he does not look wise. Although they both look powerful the figures seem wan and resigned. Additionally, although they are connected, their backs are forever turned to each other. A besotted Nerues, the "old man of the sea" sprawls on the prow as grim Tritons sound horns and writhe on both sides of the boat. Strange frog and fish faces spew white water around the tormented figures. The boat and its inhabitants represent humankind and the figures in the water represent chance and the forces of nature. When contemplating the fountain it is easy to pitch your mind back to the time of the great depression and see Nereus and his fierce watery compatriots as the unquenchable greed, panic, and other raw group passions which spawned the hardships of that era.

The Bailey fountain replaced a bizarre Victorian electric water show which was the rainbow-colored high-pressured wonder of its time (but which did not hold up well since it combined early electrical technology, 19th century plumbing, and Brooklyn winters). I first saw the Bailey fountain in the mid-nineties when it was broken and dry: large portions of the work were painted the same aqua blue as swimming pools. The plaza seemed deserted except for the eternal traffic, the sinister vine covered trees, and a huge tribe of rats. Great hunks of granite pavement had been broken apart by frost heave (or some other urban force) and melancholy pervaded the scene. A lone homeless person sidled up and sadly informed me that the fountain was haunted and, in the lugubrious twilight, I half believed him. Today, however, the fountain has been restored, and you can contemplate its enigmatic meaning in a much more pleasant surrounding.

Owning high end eye shadows does not ensure that you end up creating beautiful eye makeup. It is the blending brush which is the Magic Wand that helps in delivering the beautiful final result. When we can invest in good and expensive eye shadows that can finish up/expire in sometime, why can't we invest in a good eye shadow blending brush that has a longer life span?
The most raved about blending brushes in the market are the MAC brushes and the Sigma brushes which are almost the same when it comes to quality. Of course there are other decently good cheaper substitutes but why not indulge yourselves?
The recent MAC product reviews that I have writing are long pending ones and these products were gifted to me last year for Valentine's Day. Read my haul here.
For shading or blending of color or creamy products. This brush has fine, densely packed fibers that are arranged in an oval shape. M·A·C professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials. They feature wood handles and nickel-plated brass ferrules.
I must admit that the MAC 217 brush is my most cherished possession in my brush collection.The black wooden handle with the white soft bristles makes it look so classy.The bristles are feathery soft and will never cause any sort of trouble to your tender eye area. The handle is quite sturdy and will not break while at the same time it is quite lightweight and does not bother us during usage. The brush can work as a multipurpose brush because it can do both blending as well as eye shadow application on the crease and outer V area. I also use it for contouring my nose and it works great for that as well.
The bristles are quite dense and it picks up sufficient product in one swipe and it transfers almost everything onto the eyelid. The bristles are packed in an oval shape in order to serve as a good blending brush. Thoughtful !!! The brush can be washed and the stain of the eye shadows are removed easily from the bristles.The bristles do not fall during or after being washed. It dries quickly after a wash and the bristles remain soft even after washing.
1 : Can serve as a multipurpose brush.
2 : Soft and dense bristles.
3 : Sturdy wooden handle.
5 : Helps in blending eye shadows beautifully.
I cannot think of any other con and it is an absolutely essential brush in every girl's makeup collection.


If you are just joining, this is the 12th post in a series going over the entire Vue.js source code line by line. In this post, we look at the generateComponentTrace function.
In the last post, we glossed over the implementation details of generateComponentTrace to focus on the logic of the warn function. In this post, we loop back around to the generateComponentTrace function.
You will recall that the ._isVue property is set to true within the Vue.prototype._init method.
generateComponentTrace next checks whether vm.$parent coerces to true.
Establishes a parent-child relationship between the two. The parent will be accessible as this.$parent for the child, and the child will be pushed into the parent's $children array.
We will take an even deeper look at the parent-child relationship and how the parent becomes accessible as $parent when we discuss the initLifecycle function. For our purposes in this post, we can move forward just knowing that the if statement is checking whether the Vue instance has a $parent property.
In other words, the loop works recursively up through the Vue instances through their .$parent properties and exits when an instance does not have a .$parent property.
And that is the end of the while loop. It runs until you reach a vm with no .$parent property.
Next, we hit a lengthy return statement.
We'll start taking a look at that return statement in the next post.

ZimAlloys pushes for Balasore deal cancellation
Zimbabwe Alloys Ltd has appealed the High Court judgment stopping the local ferrochrome producer from terminating the $90 million take-over bid by an Indian firm, Balasore Alloys as the tussle over the ownership of the mining concern turns nasty.
ZimAlloys appealed to the Supreme Court this week, arguing the lower court erred in finding that Balasore had established a prima facie right to declare that all conditions precedent in the scheme of arrangement had not been complied with.
Balasore filed an urgent application last month challenging the termination of the deal on grounds that the group listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange in Mumbai had failed to inject money by end of April.
The $90 million transaction involves the settlement of pre-judicial management liabilities, acquisition of 70 percent shareholding of ZimAlloys by Balasore and injection of working
capital for the refurbishment of the ferrochrome smelter. Balasore, a Pramod Mittal group agreed to buy majority shareholding of ZimAlloys consequent upon a scheme of arrangement sanctioned by the High Court on December 20, 2017. The company received the approval on January 8, 2018.
However, ZimAlloys terminated the deal saying Balasore had failed to pay for the shares, resulting in the Indian firm approaching the High Court seeking an interdict.
The High Court ruled in favour of Balasore after it prohibited the judicial manager Reggie Saruchera from taking any steps to cancel the scheme of arrangement or engaging new investors.
Balasore argued ZimAlloys was yet to meet conditions precedent, which include obtaining regulatory approvals, securing an export licence for chrome ores, guaranteeing that the secretarial documents are up to date and to provide ownership of the claims.
Balasore Alloys further argued that since the conditions precedent outlined in the scheme of arrangement had not been met, "any payment obligation . . . cannot be triggered".
In appealing the ruling, ZimAlloys said the High Court grossly erred in holding that the application was urgent when it was apparent that Balasore had been notified on breaching the provisions of the scheme of arrangement, which led to termination of its bid on April 3, 2018.
It argued the High Court further erred grossly in finding that arrangement could not be terminated and that there was no legal justification for Balasore to make payment on account of the alleged non-fulfilment of the conditions precedent.
ZimAlloys was founded in 1949 by a consortium led by John Brown Group. In 1965, it was taken over by Anglo America Corporation, which it disposed of to Benscore Investments 40 years later. ZimAlloys was the first company in Africa to own ferrochrome plant.
The company holds about 20 000 hectares of chrome claims in different parts of the country, which has proven resources of 72,25 million tonne of chrome ore. Apart from this, Zimbabwe Alloys Chrome, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ZimAlloys owns a ferrochrome smelter.
Of its claims, only 15 percent has been explored. Zimbabwe holds the world's second largest chrome ore reserves after South Africa.

Tempo d'estate (Summer Madness o Summertime) è un film del 1955 diretto da David Lean.

Trama
Jane Hudson è una donna americana non più giovanissima che arriva a Venezia per una vacanza. La donna è entusiasta del paesaggio, tanto che filma tutto, anche l'arrivo in treno. Sul traghetto che porta dalla stazione alla città, incontra i signori Mcllhenny, americani anch'essi, che stanno girando l'Europa. Per combinazione, abiteranno tutti alla pensione Fiorini. Qui Jane si trova una stanza con terrazzino e una vista mozzafiato su Venezia e la laguna. Inizia così la vacanza, girando per la città e filmando tutto e tutti. Essendo sola, però, ogni tanto si trova malinconica e triste. Un giorno, seduta a un tavolino di piazza San Marco, si accorge di essere osservata da un uomo affascinante seduto poco distante e turbata si allontana in fretta. Poco dopo entra in un negozio di antiquariato per acquistare una coppa di vetro, ed il negoziante è lo stesso uomo. Sempre più turbata, si fa accompagnare da Mauro (un ragazzino che vive di espedienti) nei dintorni del negozio ed inavvertitamente, cade in acqua. Tornata alla pensione, viene raggiunta dall'antiquario che inizia a farle la corte. Affascinata, la donna cede alle lusinghe di Renato de Rossi e inizia a uscire con lui, continuando a frequentarlo anche quando scopre che lui è sposato ma separato. Infine, temendo il logorio del rapporto, parte per tornare in America, con questo stupendo ricordo di un amore estivo.

Colonna sonora
La colonna sonora di Alessandro Cicognini rielabora canzoni popolari italiane come "Sul mare luccica (Santa Lucia)". Vi sono anche brani di Gioachino Rossini.

Producción

Diferencias entre la película y la serie

Existen varios datos inconexos en personajes y tramas entre la película Clueless y la serie.

Mientras que se presume (o se explica) que en la película Dionne y Murray habían estado sexualmente activos, en la serie, Dionne volvió repentinamente a ser virgen. En el piloto, Cher también menciona que no sabía nada sobre la esposa del Sr. Hall, la Sra. Geist, mientras que en la versión original de la película, Cher fue quien los emparejó. Cher también fue considerablemente más egoísta y menos optimista en la película de lo que ella fue en la serie, donde ella fue retratada como el cuidado de la forma más natural y positiva. Cher, Dionne y Amber eran considerablemente menos de moda en la serie cuando se compara con la vestimenta que fue vista en la película, aunque esto podría ser el resultado de presupuesto considerablemente reducido por una serie en comparación con el presupuesto de una gran película.

Con la excepción de Rachel Blanchard al asumir el papel de Cher que hizo Alicia Silverstone, otros dos papeles principales se rehicieron para la serie. Por ejemplo, cuando la serie Clueless empezó, el papel de padre de Cher, Mel, la parte Dan Hedaya se originó en la película, fue interpretado por Michael Lerner y nuevamente fue rehecho con Doug Sheehan por el comienzo de la segunda temporada al aire. En este momento, Mel había crecido significativamente más suave y humano que el personaje que había originado Hedaya.

David Lascher asumió el papel de Josh que hizo Paul Rudd en la serie y la idea de tener el carácter de servir un interés romántico de Cher fue casi inexistente en la serie, si bien es un personaje importante en la película original. En el momento en que el programa se trasladó a UPN, Josh fue borrado totalmente de la serie. El Sr. Hall y la Sra. Geist sufrieron esta misma suerte y también desaparecieron de la serie en el momento en que cambiaron de canal.

Julie Brown hizo el personaje de la entrenadora Millie Stoeger en la película, pero en la serie, el nombre del personaje fue cambiado a la entrenadora Millie Diemer. Además, Sean Holland, que solo tuvo un papel muy secundario en la película como amigo de Murray Lawrence, fue jugando un nuevo personaje llamado Sean Holiday en la serie, a pesar de que podría asumir el mismo carácter y Lawrence es su segundo nombre. Independientemente, el carácter de Holland tuvo exposición significativamente más en la serie (y fue considerado como una de sus estrellas) que el personaje de Tai Fraiser (que fue interpretado por Heather Gottlieb cuando Brittany Murphy optó por no para repetir el papel), solo apareció en tres episodios de la serie, a pesar de ser considerado como uno de los personajes principales de la película. El personaje homosexual de Christian, interpretado por Justin Walker, no fue incluido en la serie de televisión en absoluto. Amy Heckerling, que escribió y dirigió la película, también escribió y dirigió varios episodios de la primera temporada, pero no permaneció con la serie a tiempo completo.

A pesar de que ellos no reinterpretaron sus papeles originales de Josh, Travis y Tai, los actores Breckin Meyer, Paul Rudd y Brittany Murphy hicieron apariciones en diversos episodios de la serie como nuevos personajes: Meyer interpretado a Harrison en el episodio "Malos Cortes", Rudd había interpretado el personaje de Sonny en el episodio "Me Gusta Sonny". Y Murphy interpretó el personaje de Jasmine en el episodio "Conduciendo a mi Locura".

La banda Luscious Jackson, que interpretó la canción "Here" para la película Clueless y su banda sonora, asimismo fue invitado estrella de la serie en el episodio "La Atención de Cher" para interpretar la canción "Naked Eye."

Algunos de los primeros episodios de temporada de la serie eran difundidos en desorden. El primer episodio emitido fue "La Consejera Buzzline" el 20 de septiembre de 1996. El episodio piloto real, "Hacia y Contra Todos" salió al aire más tarde el 1 de noviembre de 1996.

Cambio de canal

Después de que la serie fue cancelada por la ABC, las repeticiones de los episodios se transmitieron los viernes a las 7.30PM. Sin embargo, ya era demasiado tarde para la ABC volver a tener la serie, e impidió que UPN terminara la serie hasta que su contrato se agotara a finales de septiembre. Clueless terminó # 46 en la clasificación, con 13,3 millones de televidentes y con 19 puntos de audiencia. Solo Sabrina, la Bruja Adolescente (un show para que Elisa Donovan y David Lascher se convirtieran en estrellas) tenía índices de audiencia más altos para el viernes. Al parecer, la estrella de Sabrina, la Bruja Adolescente, Melissa Joan Hart, fue considerada para el personaje de Cher en la serie Clueless.

La escritura y el estilo de la primera temporada en la cadena ABC se ha considerado más relajado y confiado, y de lento ritmo, mientras que la versión UPN de la serie tenía un ritmo más rápido e improvisado, y lleno de celebridades con estilos de referencia (algunos aficionados sentían incluso que los episodios de UPN tenían más en contacto con el estilo de la película). Adult Swim terminó el programa después de la tercera temporada (1998–1999) debido a que la audiencia era cada vez menor. En la última temporada, tenían aproximadamente el 30% de los espectadores que aún estaban viendo la serie, cuando comenzó en ABC en 1996.

Translation across Languages: The Translation of Literary Texts (LANG6001)
Prescribed Texts
A study of the issues which arise in the process of translating literary texts. Various genres will be studied, including poetry and drama with their particular problems of cross-language and cross-cultural transfer. Using English as our working language, we shall investigate the linguistic process of translation, and examine and where possible compare renderings into English of well-known works of literature, while trying to establish criteria by which to appraise them. Staff from across ANU, including among them experienced literary translators, contribute to this course, allowing students to work from a wide range of languages. Students will gain the opportunity to apply to the field of translation analytical and research skills at an advanced level.
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Demonstrate skills as a translator of literary material at a high level;
Evaluate literary texts which have been translated;
Demonstrate sophisticated understanding of the complex linguistic and cultural problems which form part of the process; and
Apply analytical and research skills at an advanced level.
Two assignments, worth 25% each: substantial literary translations (1000 words) with commentary (1500 words). [LOs, 1, 3, 4];
Critique (1500 words) of an existing literary translation (or translations), worth 25%. [LOs 2, 3, 4]
Five short translations in a variety of literary genres, 5% each, total 25%. [LOs 1, 3, 4]
a) 35 hours of contact over 12 weeks: 2-hour lecture x 12 weeks; 1-hour tutorial x 11 weeks, and
b) 95 hours of independent student research, reading and writing

Though my father has been dead for more than 15 years, I sometimes have dreams in which he is alive and we are talking together, about politics or something else. Then, even as I dream, I realize that he is dead. And at that point, although I can still see him, it's as if I'm watching him from somewhere outside the scene.
This is part of growing up, I guess. If you dream that an alligator is chasing you, it does not seem as real as it did when you were a child. That's good, because when you wake up, there is no strong father there to pat you on the head and tell you that things are going to be all right.
You do not appreciate this when you are a child. While you are crying about the monster in the closet, your father may be spending a sleepless night wondering if the old family car will last another year or whether there'll be enough money to pay all of the bills. Those concerns don't have a monster's scary teeth, but the fact that they're not imaginary makes them just as fearsome.
The older a child gets -- and I'm remembering my own adolescence here -- the more he wants to pull away, to start living his own life, even if he's too young to drive or pay taxes.
My father was in World War II, but I didn't learn a lot about what happened to him in the South Pacific until after he died. I didn't ask and he didn't volunteer much.
My father grew up during the Depression, in the hard coal region of Pennsylvania, the youngest child of a large family. His father died on a trip to Kentucky, when my dad was just 2, after being suddenly stricken with what sounds like pneumonia, from stories I've heard.
As the other family members talked about how to tell my grandmother about this tragic turn of events, I am told that the toddler snuck into the room where the body lay, grasped the dead man's hand and tried to wake him up. I didn't ask him about that, either, and so I didn't know why he was different from the other dads.
In our working-class neighborhood, the belt or the hairbrush were favored over the heart-to-heart talk as tools of correction. One neighbor whipped all of his boys when one got in trouble, on the idea that if everyone felt the pain, they'd work to keep each other in line. Another boy in the neighborhood came to school wearing sunglasses to hide the black eye his grandfather had given him after the old man decided to join in the beating the lad was already getting from his dad.
I stupidly believed that my father didn't care enough to beat me, but the fact was he hadn't learned that form of familial expression from his own dad. I survived my own stupidity, however, because a serious illness kept me out of school for much of my senior year. I wasn't too intimidated to behave badly, I just didn't have the energy.
And so I went to college, worked on the college paper and was hired at The Herald-Mail in 1973 after a summer internship the year before. The homeplace was only 100 miles away and even after the first oil embargo, gasoline was cheap. But I didn't go back home as often as I could have, or should have. The conversations my father and I might have had or the memories we might have shared are only a dream now, as I said when I started this.
But he did have a positive effect on me, because I was determined to do things with my sons that he hadn't done, not because he didn't care, but because my grandfather had died before he could teach my father how to be that kind of a dad.
That meant volunteering with Scouts and Little League and talking the boys to NAACP scholarship dinners, to show them that there was another culture and another race of people who would be part of their lives as they grew older. I read books to them, set up model trains and talked to them often about what I thought were the right things to do in this life.
I did this because, as I have told my sons, one of the hardest things about this life is the regret you feel as an adult about the things you didn't do, or didn't correctly, when you were young.
My regret every year on Father's Day is that I didn't spend enough time with my father. Why? Because I wanted to have fun doing other things. What things? I can't remember a lot of what I felt was so much more worthwhile than going home and spending time with him.
He might have given me another or even some style tips, because, as I have learned from reading his World War II letters, he was fine writer himself. He might even have told me, as I approached 60, what to watch out for.
But I didn't have that conversation, so all I know for sure is that if there's anything serious to worry about, it's not the monster in the closet.


21/08/2011 · Ladies and Gentlemen, I am selling my Diablo 2 LOD account for US West. I am doing so, as I am a total video game addict and need to get rid of this stuff before I get back into the gaming.... The default is a stone of Jordan sold message will appear between 0 to 20 minutes. It takes between 75 to 125 stones to sell for Diablo to walk the earth. The starting number when you enter a game is completely random and useless. When the event triggers, the screen will dim and you'll see a message "Diablo walks the earth" and then you can go to a super unique to fight him.
