![]() ![]() To become her husband, he would not only have to go through a formal interview, he would also have to defeat her in battle. But when Tao Ran, the heir to Main Family needed to find a husband, he was one of her suitors. Originating from Guizhou, China and born on November 30, 1956, Yúan was born into a branch family of the Tao Family and thus he was considered nothing more but a talented Taoist. He can also gather the souls in the Bâo-Lèi Sword and create a huge, scaled, Shenlong like Chinese dragon to complete with Tao Yúan's head (with his exaggerated mustache & beard) and four sets of sharp claws. He can use these tablets to generate an Over Soul shaped like a large-sized version of himself, only far more exaggerated. He carries these spirits on him, by wearing an armor made out of memory tablets. ![]() His guardian ghosts are that of 2000 years of the Tao Family who have been unable to leave to the afterlife because of their treatment of those they saw nearest. He is a very talented Taoist and has an extremely high Furyoku level, as he is able to maintain a gigantic Over Soul made of all of his ancestors, for several years. Unbeknownst to all but his wife, Yúan has always been fond of both his children and keeps a photo album of them. Ching calls it the tragedy of a man who only wished to be a good Tao.Īlthough the meeting with Asakura Yoh and his friends have changed his outlook on life and made him open up, he still tries to protect the family interests, even fighting with and losing to Asakura Mikihisa just to see if he was worthy to train his son Tao Ren. However, it is later revealed that he is a much more deep person and, due to his family's long history of being shunned and betrayed, has lost the ability to trust people outside of his family. he taught them to be cruel and emotionless. He heavily believes in the doctrine of Tao (道, Dào) even raising his children with this doctrine, and instead of showing them love and care. Tao Yúan, when he first appeared is both a sadistic and a malevolent man. Beneath his armor, he wears a red shirt, green baggy pants, and a white skirt. He uses these to generate his large Over Soul Dà Dào Wáng. The robes cover the fact that he wears large armor, consisting of the Tao Family Ancestors' memorial tablets. Yúan is commonly seen wearing a black Chinese Hanfu tied together with a red sash and a purple Zhaoshan with golden patterns. He still has a long black goatee and a black exaggerated mustache, but his hair is smooth and is tied together in a spike in the upper back of his head, with a royal headpiece. His true appearance is that of a tall and very muscular man, who has tattooed a far elaborate Tao Family symbol onto his back and with a far more firm build body. However, this form is, in reality, is an Over Soul. He has a black exaggerated mustache and a goatee and blank yellow eyes. ![]() His head is slightly round and his black hair is formed into five spikes, similar to a crown. Outside of battle he wears a black robe, with a golden lining. He wears white pants, black boots, and a purple skirt tied with a black scarf. He is an extremely tall and muscular man, with a wide stomach. ![]()

The key to learning Chinese characters quickly is to first understand Chinese characters. The diagram below is an outline of the entire Sensible Chinese Character Learning System. Sensible Chinese Character CourseĪfter looking at all the existing systems for learning Chinese I decided to take the best practices, combine them, add a few extra tricks of my own and create a more comprehensive system for learning Chinese characters. This will be a very important part of our system and will allow us to get a handle on the 90% of the language that isn’t “picture based”. Once you realize how the language is constructed of small pieces that are easily understandable even complicated looking characters representing abstract concepts like modesty (谦虚) can be broken down into smaller “pieces” that are easily understandable. In fact the actual way that Chinese characters are composed is much more logical and systematic and does not rely on visual representation. This might well set false expectations about the Chinese language and cause dismay when the characters simply stop looking like what they represent. Unfortunately some of the marketing surrounding Chineasy does suggest that this is the method to easily learn Chinese characters. Just don’t expect all the characters to follow the pattern of looking like the thing it represents. If nothing else the beautiful presentation will get you excited about learning Chinese. Instead Chinese has a far more ingenuous way to represent these concepts – we’ll talk about this later.ĭefinitely check out Chineasy for it’s coverage of the early ideographic characters. But when asked to draw a picture of “modesty” (谦虚) it becomes a lot more difficult. Representing a simple abstract like “to rest” ( 休)is relatively easy – 亻(man) + 木 (tree) looks like a man resting against a tree. This is the reason why Chinese characters had to move away from being ideographic. The ideographic characters are not used as soon as anything abstract needs to be represented. There are only so man “little guy with a hat” characters you can remember because they all blur into one another. They are excellent for introducing Chinese to learners and for explaining Chinese to non-Chinese speakers but their utility runs out very quickly. ![]() Only with supplemental study would they be able to hook the Chinese pronunciations onto the characters they had learned. They had indeed mastered a large portion of the Chinese characters but I would argue their objective of learning the English keywords was the wrong objective. ![]() ![]() Instead they could recognize a huge number of characters and know the English meaning. They could point at a restaurant sign and say “Aha! That says Sichaun spicy chicken restaurant” but would be at a loss to actually read the characters in Chinese! I have known a number of people who had successfully mastered Heisig’s books but didn’t necessarily know how to actually say the words in Chinese. One is that Heisig chose not to include the pinyin pronunciation in the main body of the book (they are relegated to the appendix).There’s debate over whether this was the correct thing to do and really this depends on the learner’s objectives.įrom the point of view of communication though this seems like a flawed approach. You can enjoy pronunciation by native speakers and an attractive user interface with this well thought-out app.There are a couple of problems with Heisig’s system which make it unsuitable for our goals. ![]() Nevertheless, even intermediate learners will probably find the history of the characters interesting, and those who struggle with writing characters may find Chineasy’s methods ease the difficulty.Īt the end of the lessons you will not be fluent, but you will most likely become confident with basic pronunciation and characters. Moreover, there is no placement test function like in many other language apps you will have to start with learning “人” whether this is your first time seeing the character or if you are already writing “歌”. Also, there does not seem to be an SRS flashcard option the “review” section allows you to simply look at the different cards you have learned. It should be noted that the speech recognition portion of the app will often approve your pronunciation even if you say something completely different from the prompt. You can further your learning with speaking training, which will train your comprehension of the tones and help you replicate them through pronunciation practice. Each of the 400 basic lessons will introduce new characters, combine ones you’ve already learned, and quiz you in various formats. The lessons will help you remember the characters through short histories of their origins and cartoonish images. Chineasy is an excellent introduction to traditional and simplified Chinese characters for any beginner learner. ![]() ![]() ![]() We like a lens we can handhold for freedom to capture all that action. This allows for image stabilization improvements of 7 stops at the wide end and 6 stops at the telephoto end. Even more good news is a brand new optical stabilization algorithm called OS2. This is great news for wildlife photographers. The design significantly increases the focus speed and precision while reducing motor noise. The focusing motor is a new design called the High-response Linear Actuator. Whether you want to create a wide environmental portrait or zoom in on the action, you can do it all with this one lens. You can also use this on an APS-C camera, however, for an impressive 90-900mm equivalent focal length range. If you photograph on a full frame mirrorless, you get the reach of 60-600mm. Let’s break down what this all means for you. The Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports Lens for Sony E lens, with a slew of features in one handhold-able package. Let’s go over the specs and features, and then, I will share with you my experience in the field with the Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports. Sigma has released the Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports Lens for Sony E. With a market ready for more focal length, it was only a matter of time until the grand-pappy of them all, the iconic Bigma, stepped forth in all its glory to claim the mirrorless throne. As technology presses forth, we reap the benefits of better features, optics, and tools suited for our needs. ![]() This is an exciting time for photography. With mirrorless cameras increasingly growing in popularity, new lenses are steadily being developed to match their DSLR predecessors. ![]() ![]() You can paint them horizontal or vertical, whatever you like best!

The Roundabout Theatre Company presented the revival production in 2012. The Mystery of Edwin Drood premiered at the New York Shakespeare Festival in August 1985 and moved to Broadway with a revised version, where it ran until May 1987. At age 11, his love for mystery books led him to Dickens unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood. It was a modern “panto” complete with the cross-dressing “best boy” lead character and audience sing-alongs. At age three, he first experienced the theatre. The seminal experiences that influenced his creation of the musical were from Holmes’ childhood. Merrifield was so impressed with his “story songs” that she encouraged him to write a musical for the festival. Rupert Holmes was performing some of his “story songs” at a nightclub and following his performance, he received a note from Gail Merrifield (wife of Joseph Papp), the director of development for the New York Shakespeare Festival. Who would have thought that the singer-songwriter who wrote and performed the billboard #1, “Escape (The Piña Colada Song),” would be encouraged to write a full-length musical for the New York Shakespeare Festival.
