# The Curse of the Monolith

"The Curse of the Monolith" is a short story by American writers L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter, featuring the fictional sword and sorcery hero Conan of Cimmeria created by Robert E. Howard. It was first published in the magazine Worlds of Fantasy in 1968 as "Conan and the Cenotaph".

## Plot summary

Conan is a mercenary serving in the army of the empire of Turan. Having attained the rank of captain, he has been chosen by King Yildiz to lead some cavalry and deliver a letter of friendship to King Shu of Kusan, a minor kingdom in the east. Shu sends Conan back to Turan with a formal letter of acceptance and provides him with a high noble of his own court, Duke Feng, to act as a guide and escort. However, unknown to both Conan and King Shu, Feng is a member of an isolationist political party known as the Golden Pheasant, which is against all contact between Kusan and the nations of the west. Determined to prevent Conan from delivering the letter of treaty back to Turan, Feng employs a ruse against Conan with a tale concerning the nearby tomb of a king which is supposed to contain a hoard of treasure. He tells Conan that if he should help him receive the treasure while his men are asleep, Feng will share half of what they find, to which Conan, although suspicious, agrees.
When they reach the site indicated by Feng, Conan sees a large burial mound with a black monolith of stone towering up into the night sky, the top of which is obscured by mist. As Conan ascends the mound and prepares to dig, he finds himself being pulled inexorably toward the monolith by an invisible force. Unable to break free Conan is hurled against the monolith and held fast. The duplicitous Feng then explains his true identity and purpose, and that the monolith is composed of a magnetic stone which exerted a force of attraction upon Conan's metal armor. Taking the letter of treaty from Conan, Feng begins to play musical notes on a flute. Responding to the strange piping, a monster in the form of a giant amoeba begins to slither down from the top of the shaft toward Conan. Struggling to escape, Conan eventually manages to cut the leather straps of his armour with a rusted dagger and tears himself free before the amoeba could devour him with its acidic pseudopods. Pouncing on Feng, Conan grabs him, retrieves the letter, and hurls him against the monolith, knocking him unconscious as he falls victim to the amorphous creature. Conan then sets fire to the monster, bringing an end to the "curse" once and for all.

# Santi Martino e Marco, Petriolo

Santi Martino e Marco is a Neoclassical-style, Roman Catholic parish church located on Piazza di San Martino in the town of Petriolo, province of Macerata, region of Marche, Italy. The church stands alongside and across the street from the Palazzo Communale and faces the church of the Madonna della Misericordia across the Piazza.

## History

The church was built in 1776 and consecrated in 1790 by the archbishop of Fermo. The brick facade with pilasters and a portal with a rounded pediment is sober. It is flanked by a tall bell tower.
# Santi Marciano e Nicandro, L'Aquila

Chiesa dei Santi Marciano e Nicandro is a church in L'Aquila, central Italy.
It was built in Romanesque style in the course of the 13th century, and, after it had been mostly destroyed by an earthquake in 1703, it was renovated in Baroque style. The church was again severely damaged by the earthquake which struck L'Aquila in 2009.
The façade in white stone dates from the 14th century. The portal has capitals with the Four Evangelists (left) and the Adoration of the Magi (right), and is surmounted by a circular window which in 1915 replaced the original rose window. The interior dates mostly from the 18th-century renovation, although the original 13th-century structure has survived in the apse exterior, in the presbytery and the clergy house. It houses 14th- and 15th-century frescoes and statues of St. Peter and St. Marcian.

# The Brian Setzer Orchestra

The Brian Setzer Orchestra (sometimes known by its initials BSO) is a swing and jump blues band formed in 1992 by Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer. In 1998, for their breakout album The Dirty Boogie, the group covered Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive an' Wail", which originally appeared on Prima's 1957 album The Wildest!. The BSO's follow up single, appearing on the album Vavoom!, was "Gettin' in the Mood."

## History

Setzer grew up in Long Island, New York. In his youth, he played the euphonium and other brass instruments in school jazz bands. In the 1970s, he found ways to hear jazz and big band music at the Village Vanguard, but he was also drawn to blues, rock, punk, and rockabilly. He admired the jump blues of Louis Prima and Big Joe Turner, but also the rock and roll of Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, and Carl Perkins.
During the early 1980s, he led the rockabilly trio the Stray Cats and found popular and commercial success. After the band broke up, Setzer worked as a side man and on a solo career. In 1994, he released the debut album of the Brian Setzer Orchestra, which combined his rockabilly style with swing, big band, and jump blues. The orchestra had a hit on the Billboard singles chart with its cover version of "Jump, Jive an' Wail" by Louis Prima.

## Activities

The BSO often plays during the December holidays covering Christmas songs, and plays the Rockefeller Center tree-lighting ceremony. Setzer tunes have been used in commercials.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra performed 36 concerts on their "Christmas Rocks! 2017" tour which ran from November to December 2017.

# Independent candidates in the 2003 Manitoba provincial election

There were two independent candidates in the 2003 Manitoba provincial election, neither of who were elected. They received a total of 167 votes. Information about these candidates may be found on this page.

## Didz Zuzens (Fort Garry)

Zuzens has campaigned for the House of Commons of Canada and the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba on a total of four occasions.
He intended to register as a Libertarian Party of Canada candidate for his first federal campaign in 1997, but was informed by an Elections Canada official that he could not do so as the party had withdrawn from the election. Zuzens acknowledged that he had been told of the party's decertification before registering, but added "Maybe I didn't want to hear that I wasn't going to be the candidate. It may be delirious, but I just refused to believe that". He registered as an independent candidate in 1997, and again in 2000.
At the provincial level, Zuzens campaigned for the Libertarian Party of Manitoba in 1999 and as an independent in 2003. The LPM was registered for the 2003 election, and it is unclear why Zuzens ran as an independent.
Zuzens lists himself as retired. He wrote against Canada's public health system in 2000, describing it as the "Canada Waiting List" system.
