![]() ![]() (I mean, what other kinds of crab claw statue-related activities could we have done? □□♀️) There wasn’t much we could do there, so ten minutes was enough for us, and it probably will be for you as well. In spite of the lengthy travel time, we only spent less than ten minutes with the statue, taking pictures, touching and hugging it, etc. We were also interested in the Hokkaido Museum of Northern People in Abashiri, but we had to skip it so we could visit this crab claw statue in Monbetsu. ![]() After leaving Ezura farm, where we were staying for the week, we made our first stop of the day, Abashiri Prison Museum. Since Hokkaido is quite large, traveling between cities requires lots of driving. Although we don’t know the exact reason why it is a crab claw (and not even the hairy kind), this statue has become an iconic landmark in Monbetsu. This crab claw statue doesn’t quite look like a hairy one (it is probably modeled after the red king crab), but I can imagine how making a statue with hair would be difficult to pull off from a technical perspective. Monbetsu is also famous for crabs, especially the hairy kind. I can see this being adored by visitors as an Instagrammable spot. Unfortunately, the day we went was not the sunniest day and there was no snow or drift ice (because it was summer), but the color contrast of this bright orange crab against the coastal scenery was still pretty. That’s cool and everything, but the question still remains-why a crab claw? Apparently, the concept behind the art was to express the essence of Monbetsu City, known for its endless blue sky and the snowy white landscapes. The 12-meter-tall, 7-ton statue used to float atop a piece of drift ice during the winter, but after fifteen years, it’s been permanently relocated to the shores of the Sea of Okhotsk. The crab claw statue was created as a part of 流氷 ( りゅうひょう ) アートフェスティバル (Drift Ice Art Festival), an art festival that took a place in Monbetsu City in 1983, by a sculpture artist, Toshi Nagasaki, and constructed with the help of Monbetsu residents. You might be wondering, "Why a crab claw and why in Monbetsu?" Well, that was my original question, too. If not, keep reading to find out whether it it’s worth a visit for you. Would I recommend you to do the same? Maybe… if you share in our obsession with the Crabigator. Last summer during our Hokkaido trip, we drove a couple hours for an extra stop just to see a gigantic crab claw sticking out from the ground, a.k.a カニの 爪 ( つめ ) オブジェ (crab claw statue). For this reason, we’re often on the lookout for alligator or crab themed places, like Atagawa Banana Alligator Park. Not only does this explain the obsession with alligators and crabs some members of my company have, but now you know that these animals mean something special to us. As you may know, our main product is a kanji learning platform called WaniKani, and our mascot is a mystical creature comprised of two animals: wani (aligator) and kani (crab). ![]() ![]() In this dungeon you'll find the recipe for the Skill "Rapid Move" (at the top part of the dungeon). Here is the link:įrom "the_blood_wolf": "This is actually quite expensive and you need a good bit of TP to do this trick early, but it's not hard to do at all.įirst you'll need to be in Gen. Taken from "the_blood_wolf" posted this tip to get a 400-Hit Combo as early as in Generation two which can be used for farming G and TP as well as unlocking some titles. For example, a 103-hit combo with a B-rank finish for 100% bonus would be 25 (103 / 4 = 25.75, rounded to 25 and multiplied by 1 for the B-rank). A grade of B has a multiplier of 1 (it is assumed). The amount of TP earned is based on the highest combo count done in that battle, divided by four, rounded down, and multiplied by a grade multiplier. Then, exchange TPs for the item, "Vessel of Life," which costs 25TP each and sells for 50,000G each. Save up 1250TP in order to get the skill book Essential Arts XVI from the Adventurers' Guild, and using the combo skills to rake up more TPs (50-70 a fight will be the norm). (When the quest boss fight is complete, a turn is sometimes used.) However, you can freely enter and exit any Quest Exploration area before and after the storyline event with no turns being used. The only exception is when you reach a storyline boss at the end of certain Quest Exploration areas.

But it is expensive: at nearly eleven hundred bucks for the base package, you’ll need to be a pretty dedicated charcoal griller to justify the price of this high-end grill. You will also need a nearby power socket, as this grill requires power to run the fans that control the temperature. The straps caused the only real problem I had when assembling the Spark grill. After you have put the kettle in place, you then have to remove the straps, which involves lifting up one side of the kettle, pulling the strap out, then repeating this on the other side. Because the kettle weighs about 77lbs (and is not yet secured in place), it nearly tipped over and out of the frame while doing so. Again, this is why you really need two people: one to lift the kettle and hold it in place, and one to pull the straps out. You really don’t want to let this tip out, especially if your foot is in the way.įinally, you screw in the clips that hold the kettle and put the tray and cutting board in place. Remove the last of the plastic wrap, put the grate and tray in place and you are ready to go. SPARK GRILL REVIEW: OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE Once you connect the temperature sensors, plug the grill into a wall socket using the included 15-foot cable, download the app (available for Android and iOS) and connect to the grill over Bluetooth. The Spark grill is pretty simple to get going. Each Briq comes in an airtight package that you keep sealed until you want to use them, as they are soaked in alcohol to get the fire going. as an object, experienced through movement, it has continuity and consistency, but difference and variation are embedded into the essential gesture at every turn.When you are ready, you open the package, put the Briq into the slide-out tray on the front of the kettle, then turn the dial to start. the breaks, gradients and distinctions in color and texture between different parts of the pavilion make this reconstruction and piecing together legible at a glance. ‘these forms are imprints of some of the places, spaces and artifacts which have made care and sustenance part of london’s identity. ‘the pavilion is itself conceived as an event - the coming together of a variety of forms from across london over the course of the pavilion’s sojourn,’ explains lead architect on the project, sumayya vally of counterspace. ![]() Photographed by justice mukheli in johannesburg, 2020.

The pavilion will include moveable small parts that will be displaced to neighborhoods across london. Serpentine pavilion 2020 designed by counterspaceĭesign render, interior view © counterspace according to the architects, these are directly transcribed from existing locations with particular relevance to migrant and other peripheral communities in london. using both contemporary and traditional building techniques, the shapes of the pavilion are created from a process of addition, superimposition, subtraction, and splicing of architectural forms. located in london’s hyde park, the studio’s design is based on gathering spaces and community places found across the UK capital. Johannesburg-based practice counterspace, directed by sumayya vally, sarah de villiers, and amina kaskar, was selected to design the pavilion in february 2020 - marking the annual commission’s 20th anniversary. the architects will collaborate with the serpentine on a series of off-site and online research projects throughout 2020, which will culminate with the opening of the pavilion in summer 2021.

He was carted off after breaking a bone in his leg. ![]() But after the Stallions' defense minimized the damage by forcing a punt, McGough responded by throwing the go-ahead score.Ĭookus, who had directed consecutive scoring drives prior to his injury, left the game for good after taking a sack with 8:25 left. With Smith still sidelined, backup Alex McGough committed the game's first turnover when he fluttered a pass that was picked off by Stars linebacker Jordan Sewell. ![]() The Stars - who had scored first in every game this season going into the championship - took their first lead on the ensuing possession, shortly after the start of the fourth quarter. With Smith on the sideline, the Stallions' drive ended with a missed field goal. Smith left the game during the Stallions' second possession of the second half after suffering an injury to his midsection. Here's a closer look at what went down on Sunday night. But a missed conversion attempt after the score and a last-minute interception sealed the Stars' fate. Philadelphia, which also finished the game with a backup quarterback after Case Cookus injured his leg, clawed back with a late touchdown. Linebacker Scooby Wright's pick-six moments later proved to be the game's most important play. The night ended with the Birmingham Stallions, the league's best team all season, being crowned the champion after posting a 33-30 win over the Philadelphia Stars.ĭown 23-20 late, the Stallions took the lead for good on Victor Bolden's touchdown reception on a pass from quarterback Alex McGough, who was playing in relief of injured starter J'Mar Smith.
